Jin Rou had nothing to say. Indeed, the princess had already done her best to give him time in the pond. And the most she could give was just an hour. It maybe too much little if Jin Rou wanted to roam around. But if he would go directly towards his business, then it might be enough.
The gate was still far away from the pond, so Jin Rou and the princess needed to walk towards it. After all, flying wasn't allowed here. It didn't matter anyway, as long as they could reach their destination then it's fine.
The way was filled with different kinds of ancestral trees. They were so big that your vision wouldn't fit in to get a full look. Not just that, each tree was giving a powerful vibe that could keep any enemies away from them, people included. Jin Rou didn't mind it at all. The business here wasn't with these ancestral trees so he wouldn't bother himself with them.
After twenty minutes or so, Jin Rou and the princess finally reached the pond. No one knew why it was called Immortal Pond. It was more fitting to be called Immortal Sea.
This body of water was extremely vast that you couldn't see the end of it. There were also lightnings playing around above the water as if they were clouds above it.
Jin Rou observed this playful lightning and touched it. Then, the lightning became aggressive and attacked Jin Rou. Because of his power level, it couldn't affect him even a little. However, the princess by his side was almost implicated. Naturally, Jin Rou pulled her and protected her from harm.
"Stick with me unless you want to die." Jin Rou said as he stepped on the pond. He walked as if he was strolling the park with ease and relaxation.
The princess didn't dare to be separated even by a half meter from Jin Rou. She sured herself that her body was sticking on Jin Rou so that she could guarantee her safety. After all, these lightnings could easily kill someone of her level!
The lightnings kept on attacking Jin Rou the moment he stepped on it. Dragons of lightnings, spears of lightnings and any other things that could be created using this element attacked Jin Rou without any reservation.
"This element is capable of tearing even a 12 crowns zenith to pieces. So again, be careful and stick close with me. If you lose your life here, I won't care." Jin Rou warned her once again. The level of dangerousness of this place was more than what he expected. He didn't want any useless casualty here.
The princess pouted in annoyance. She had already shown her very beautiful face yet this man had no reaction at all as if he had seen so many beautiful girls in the past. So since she was a beautiful and fragile lady, shouldn't this man be protecting her from danger? Well, it was what he was doing right now. But to say that he won't care if she losther life, wasn't that infuriating?
Anyway, she had no time for this little qualms. She needed to stay alive and see the day outside. And by sticking to Jin Rou would it only be possible.
After more or less ten minutes, Jin Rou stopped and closed his eyes. Then, he looked at below and said with a cold tone, "King Uranasia has recommended me to go here. So I hope I can meet you and aid me."
Then, a strange phenomenon happened. The lightnings stopped harassing Jin Rou and became as calm as the sea. The water then went into a circular direction and created a massive whirlpool. It was like it was ready to swallow the whole heavens by looking at it.
After which, a shadow appeared from the center of the whirlpool and showed figure of a large beast of a gorilla. It had a white fur with two pairs of wings. It was excluding a divine aura that could trample several worlds by a single leak.
"Uranasia told you to come here?" The beast had a deep tone which could give chills to those who heard it for the first time.
"Yes. He told me that you can aid me to add more strength in my power." Jin Rou said. The king had told him that the mirror's power could be amplified here.
"Since he told you to come here, you must have the Goldenshadow Mirror." The beast said, "Hand it over. My time is precious so I can't waste so much time here above."
Jin Rou smiled and handed the mirror over. He didn't expect that things would flow smoothly. It seemed that his trip here wasn't in vain.
The princess was stupefied silly by these events. This guardian beast had never shown his existence even if the emperor himself sought it after. Yet, Jin Rou could manage to do so with one call!
The beast looked at the mirror and thousand to millions of memories appeared in its mind. It caressed the mirror with gentleness as if it was a precious thing for the beast. It then took a deep breath and released its power and channeled it towards the mirror.
The mirror glowed from black, green, red and then gold. The pond shook violently, so the water became unstable and created large amount of high waves as if it was a sea.
The colors of the mirror kept on changing. And after several more minutes, it became steady with the color gold with blackish background.
The beast looked at the mirror once again and covered its expression. Next, it handed over the mirror to Jin Rou and said, "It's done. So leave now."
Jin Rou accepted the mirror and could feel that the mirror's power had been strengthened by several folds. He was quite happy with the result. Thus, he said his thanks and was about to leave when a mocking voice came over their ears, "How unexpected."
