Blacklegend couldn't help but feel surprised. This situation was truly worthy to release a decree, and what's more, the Wind Gate was willing to pay for everything. Their treasury was surely enormous if they dared to accept this kind of responsibility.
Just imagine, carrying the expenses of thousands to ten thousands of powerhouses to bring them over. Who could bear such expenses? Perhaps, it was only the Wind Gate. As a matter of fact, even Jin Rou wasn't confident in doing this feat. After all, resources were we talking about here.
After that, Windking said, "Friends, we will be busy so we can't entertain you. We have to prepare for this incoming catastrophe."
There was no time to waste. If Jin Rou was telling the truth, three days isn't enough for them to prepare. But at the very least, they could hold up some plans and meetings to counter..
This wasn't easy. But the Wind Gate had that responsibility.
"That's okay, you can take your time." Jin Rou said, "This mountain peak is surely beautiful. Would you mind if I take a stroll around?"
"Of course, not. Please feel free." Windking smiled and bidded his goodbye.
"All of you, stay here and study the statues." Jin Rou said to his group. This room had full of statues waiting to be comprehended, "This will greatly help you, especially you old man. There is a statue here that could help you break that bottleneck."
The old man was shaken. To think that there was a great opportunity right in front of him! He immediately focused and search for the statue.
After which, Jin Rou got out of the Ancestral Hall.

Jin Rou strolled on the mountain peak in a slow pace. The peak was truly deserving to be a place built of the hall. After all, the qi here was so thick that cultivators wouldn't have a hard time cultivating themselves. Nevertheless, this place was off-limits to almost everyone. In fact, even those core members of Wind Gate had no right to enter this.
After a while, Jin Rou decided to stop by a falls. It was a very large falls, to be exact. Jin Rou couldn't see the peak where the water was falling like it was a sky tower.
But what captured his attention more was a figure below the falls, accepting the intensity of the water.
It was a woman. A woman who could destroy a world by her beauty. It felt like she was the reincarnation of destruction and despair judging by the aura she unconsciously emit. With her long black hair up to her waist, jade-like skin, she seemed to be a perfect woman that countless men dreamed of.
Of course, for Jin Rou, this beauty wasn't exceptional in the slightest. She had seen many beauties like this and it wouldn't affect him that much.
Jin Rou didn't disturb the meditating woman and just silently watched her. He looked so bored and almost wanted to sleep.
He was about to stand up and leave when a voice suddenly rang his ears, "Already leaving?"
It came from the woman in the falls. She slowly opened her eyes and revealed a green-beauty eyes.
"Uhm, yeah. I don't want to bother you anymore. So, I'm leaving." Jin Rou smiled awkwardly. He knew that the other party was aware of his presence.
"Why leave so soon?" The woman asked. Although her voice didn't have any emotion, one could hear the demanding tone in it, "I haven't talked to anyone for the past years, I wouldn't mind talking with you."
If other Wind Gate disciples knew this, they would die in anger and envy. Just think about it, this beauty who they dreamed of was actually inviting a man for a talk! In the whole gate, who warranted such invitation from the woman?
"While I appreciated your invitation, I have to decline." Jin Rou answered without hesitation, "I still have matters to attend to, so it will not be nice to stay more here."
"A man declining me has appeared for the first time." The woman chuckled as Jin Rou's answer finally sink in. It didn't offend her in the slightest. It was natural to be declined. After all, she gave the invitation and it's up for the man to accept or not. Perhaps, it's just that no one had ever dared to decline her request ever since she was a child.
"It's true that you are strong. You are very talented and exceptional. With your bloodline, it wouldn't be impossible to reach Perfect Immortal." Jin Rou spoke before leaving truly, "However, your pride and arrogance are overpowering your talent, leading to the current stagnating you are experiencing."
Hearing this, the woman changed expression for the first time. No one knew this except her father. How could he possibly know this?
The other party was right. She was experiencing a hard stagnation in her cultivation. That's why she was meditating here in hope to get some insights about the problem. The falls was magical, after all. And it helped many ancestors in the past.
"You don't have to look surprised. There is nothing that could escape my eyes." Jin Rou smiled, "Consider what I said as a part of the payment for the Wind Gate. I'll be leaving."
"Wait!" The woman shouted and attempted to stop Jin Rou but he immediately disappeared as if he was not there to begin with.
Almost couldn't contain her curiosity, she immediately changed clothes and set off to find her grandfather to seek answers.

"Oh, you have met him?" Windking raised his brows as he was browsing some ancient records.
The woman immediately told the story after finding her grandfather. But who would have thought that the grandfather was Windking Perfect Immortal himself?
"I did. And I even tried what he said and guess what, it's working!" The woman was elated. This problem had been a thorn in her path that she wasn't able to remove. Now that she gained insights, her path was becoming more and more stable.
