After Jin Rou left, the people immediately scurried away. Soon, the downfall of Sky Immortal Sect and Wild Temple Gate shocked the world. Many lineages created alliances in the name of justice to destroy the sect and gate. Of course, it\'s just a mere pretense. In actuality, their aim was to get the massive rewards declared by Jin Rou.

Many were tempted. Just think about it, hundred thousands of dao stones of immortal sovereign level and there were myriad weapons to choose from. To top it all, the person was even willing to give an immortal weapon in exchange of a sovereign\'s head.

Who wouldn\'t be tempted? Not to mention the simple lineages, even supreme lineage like Vermillion Palace spearheaded the alliance. With their participation, the Sky Immortal Sect and Wild Temple Gate were good as doomed.

"Greed is a scary thing." One ancestor sighed as he watched the carnage. Because of treasures, people were even willing to kill each other.

While everyone was in turmoil, Jin Rou had arrived at Flowing River by now. It\'s a place filled with connecting rivers to a vast endless ocean. It was said that the endless ocean had infinite cycle and those who try to sail wouldn\'t be able to return.

Flowing River had five connecting rivers. And although they were five, they were moving as a single entity. Meaning, there was a lineage guarding this.

Up until now, the rivers were filled mysteries of the dao for cultivators who wanted to seek enlightment. However, only a few managed to understand the mysteries here. The difficulty was too high for ordinary cultivators. Even some geniuses of top lineages had experienced difficulties here.

Despite the hardness, many people were still visiting Flowing River. After all, it\'s open to the public. Even if one couldn\'t benefit from the mysteries here, the scenery was worth the trip.

Jin Rou was currently in the True Evergreen River. He had specifically chose this river out of five for a certain reason. He was walking down the path in slow walk. He wasn\'t in a rush and since it\'s technically his first time here, he wanted to enjoy the scenery.

He extended his gazes and saw children meditating by the sidelines of the river. In this place, it was normal. The million dao runes flowing by the True Evergreen River was truly beneficial for children. Although it hadn\'t any help regarding to cultivation, their health would get better.

And then, after a few minutes of walking, a youth approached Jin Rou and asked, "Hello, can I ask a question?"

"You have already asked." Jin Rou flatly said.

"Err, then can I ask another question after this one?" The youth felt awkward. However, he was already desperate and needed help.

Jin Rou threw him the side glance and said, "Ask away."

"I want to know why I cannot advance to my enlightment. I have already tried many methods however none worked." The youth explained slowly, "I can\'t be stuck in this realm forever."

"Are you sure you asked the right person? Do I look like a powerful cultivator to you?" Jin Rou smiled. It was out of the blue that someone asked his guidance regarding enlightment, but he wasn\'t surprised.

"Sir, my cultivation might be shallow but my eyes are deep. My eyes cannot deceive me." It was true. The youth had seen the overwhelming presence of this person and wanted to try his luck. Currently, there was no one who could help him despite the requests he made but he felt different about this man.

"Shinespear Eyes is deserving of its name." Jin Rou chuckled.

The youth widened his eyes. Although it should be normal that it had been seen through, it still gave him cold chills. It felt like he was naked in front of this man.

His eyes were a top secret he couldn\'t tell even his closest friends as it could lead to an impending calamity for him and his relatives. As a filial one, he couldn\'t afford to risk his family.

"Don\'t look at me like that. If I want your eyes, you won\'t even have the chance to ask something." Jin Rou chuckled, "But since I\'m in the mood, I can help you with your enlightment. However, it\'s still up to you how far you can go."

"Please, Sir." The youth knelt down. He was feeling bad about looking at Jin Rou with such eyes.

"What is your name?" Jin Rou asked.

"Shinol, Sir." The youth asked. It turned out that his name was a unique one.

"Is Shinebreak doing well these days?"

Shinol was surprised once again but he still answered, "Our clan has five members only, Sir. We are only a small family trying to survive in this cruel world."

Jin Rou sighed. It was as he expected. Shinebreak Clan was a powerful lineage in the past that threatened the position of supreme lineages. If not for the calamity that had came, they might be the strongest lineage of this world.

The once glorious clan had declined miserably with a slim chance of revitalization.

"Then do you have an alive ancestor of distant eras?" Jin Rou asked.

Shinol zipped his mouth. He didn\'t know whether to answer the question or not.

"You have to cooperate with me if you want my help." Jin Rou said. Even if he didn\'t get the answer from him, he had many methods to know it. So it wasn\'t a big deal actually. He was just trying how far would Shinol go for his cultivation.

Shinol gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Our Shinemoon Matriarch is still alive. However, she is always buried within the blood crystals to maintain her lifespan."

Shinemoon Matriarch. Jin Rou murmured. Of course, he was familiar with this ancestor. After all, he watched the matriarch from her Infant stage until she grew into a goddess.

But just like anyone else. She couldn\'t fight the erosion of time and her lifespan was nearing. If not for the blood cystals, she should have died.

"Lead the way, boy." Jin Rou said. He decided to personally make a trip to the Shinebreak before dealing with his personal business.
