"Grandfather, who is that man?" She was very curious about the identity of the man sje the t in the falls. With such impressive insights and eyes, it wasn't an exaggeration that she's treating him as a hidden master, hiding in a young flesh.
"Xeu'er, he is soone you cannot afford to reach. He is a man with unlimited potential and mysteries. Even I, standing at this apex point of this world, cannot fathom his depth." Windking sighed when he rembered his eting with Jin Rou. Although it was only a brief mont, he could tell the disparity between him and the other party. Otherwise, why would they have to listen to his words?
"It's not like I'm interested in the opposite sex, Grandfather." Xeu thought that she was misunderstood, "I was rely trying to know him hoping that I might get more clues about this bottleneck. Although what he said was a great help, it wasn't enough to break this."
The stagnation in her cultivation wasn't a laughing matter. Although she had a very good potential and talent, the stagnation was keeping her at bay, unable to truly fly using her wings..
"Well, I don't think you will get more help from him since you already got one." Windking smiled wryly about his granddaughter's optimism, "But alright, his na is Jin Rou. I don't know where he is but I know that he will be staying here for a while. Perhaps at least until the end of the catastrophe."
"Catastrophe?" Xeu was stupefied when she heard this word. With her grandfather's power, what could warrant such words from him?, "Grandfather, what do you an?"
"You love to read ancient records, so I know that you are very familiar with the darkness." Windking didn't bother to hide the information he got from Jin Rou.
"This is impossible! According to the ancients records, it's not possible for those existences to cross the boundary. After all, it is believed that it's heavily guarded by a powerful person." Xeu was flabbergasted. The darkness would co so soon? And to make matters worse, it would co in three days!
"That's what I want to believe, too." Windking sighed heavily, "I want to believe that everything will not co true. Otherwise, it's very difficult to live pass through it."
He had to admit it. If those overlords didn't bother to help, it would be the end of this Immortal.
Xeu took a long while processing this news and sighed, "So what will we gonna do?"
This was a very grave situation where their lives were on the line. It was not like typical skirmishes and battles between powerhouses. This was a battle for the whole world against darkness.
"I'm gonna make a trip to one of the overlord's nest." Windking said, "To increase our chances of victory, I have to convince those hiding existences."
"Grandfather, you know it's very dangerous! Those bastards don't listen to us. Even when our Progenitor Windgod personally made a trip there, he was only chased out." Xeu said with worry. With this developnt, the overlords would surely be glad to accept the invasion of darkness.
"I know but I still have to try." Windking sighed. He didn't want to do this, either. However, he knew that their strength wouldn't be enough to struggle against the darkness.
Xeu wanted to say more when suddenly, a cheerful and familiar voice rang their ears, "Good decision. Let's make a trip there."
The two unconsciously looked where the voice ca from. Windking smiled and said, "Young Friend Jin, I haven't thought that you'll be here."
"No, I'm just passing by when I heard you want to go to an overlord's nest. So I'm here to help you. At the very least, I can guarantee your safety." Jin Rou chuckled, "Besides, I'm very curious to what they look like, so I won't accept a no in this."
"This..." Windking nodded and said, "Alright, it will truly be a lot safer if I have Young Friend Jin's protection."
He hated to admit it, but Jin Rou's power level was much higher than him. So getting Jin Rou along the trip was a better idea.
"I'm coming with you." Xeu said firmly. She wanted to make sure that her grandfather would return safe.
"Nope, young lady. You have to stay here if you want to progress more in your cultivation." Jin Rou shook his head.
"What do you an?" Xeu was confused.
"This is the best ti for you to give your all to break through your stagnation. If you miss this chance, you have to wait for at least several hundreds of years before getting another one." Jin Rou didn't bother lying to her. It was true that this was the best ti for her to breakthrough.
"Xeu'er, you have heard it yourself. Go and break that stagnation. I know you can do it." Windking also didn't want his precious granddaughter to brave this danger. After all, they were going to an overlord's nest. Protecting more people would greatly reduce one's efficiency and it might put them into danger, too.
"Alright." Xeu nodded solemnly. If this was a chance, she had to grab it, "But Grandfather, please return safely."
"Don't worry, young lady. With here, what could possibly happen to your grandfather?" Jin Rou smirked.
Xeu only looked at him with skepticism and walked away.

Immortal's overlords had their own realms of creation. With their power level, they could do anything that peak experts from Immortal would have a hard ti doing. Currently, there were 7 overlords alive and each has their own turf.
Many immortals tried to find their nests but unfortunately, it wasn't successful as the overlords had permanently severed their connections with the Immortal. However, it didn't an that they couldn't go back there. What they severed was just the ti and space holding between the overlord's realm and the Immortal. They have one or two ways to reconnect with the world.
All in all, the overlords were still part of Immortal so it's possible to go to one of their nests, at a very costly price.
