"I have met the end of the deal. It's high time for your lineage to do yours." Jin Rou said. They were now outside of the place. Since he already did his part, the other party should do the same.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of them reneging. He could just destroy them if that's the case. No one could go against him here, even the apex predators of this realm.
The ancestor immediately took out an of from his storage. It was a coffin filled with ancient aura. He handed it over to Jin Rou and said, "Young Master, here you go. This is the coffin that you have asked."
Jin Rou observed the coffin and nodded, "Your oldest ancestor is smart."
The coffin wasn't fake. It was the real thing. If Firm Sword decided to lie on his face, he wouldn't forgive them. Fortunately, the oldest ancestor must be prudent enough not to take the big risk.
The ancestor present had to agree. At first, he planned to give a fake one to Jin Rou. Luckily, he wasn't dumb to put it into action.
The coffin had a terrifying background that not even Sword Emperor Firm knew. He retrieved this item without knowing its origin and power. If he did, he would surely bring this coffin to his grave.
"I have no more business with you, so I'll get going." Jin Rou said. The deal had been settled and both parties benefited. It's time to leave.

"I don't know. I'll let my feet decide it where." Jin Rou answered.
"If you may, Young Master, I have a suggestion." Princess Chinu said.
"Let's hear it." Jin Rou responded.
"The Soaring Plateau shows signs of emerging." Princess Chinu said, "With your immense knowledge, for sure you know what significance Soaring Plateau bring to cultivators."
"It will emerge soon?" Jin Rou was a bit interested.
The Soaring Plateau was a mysterious moving land with actual living people. It was sort of a business lounge where tons of markets with valuables sell them at a fair price. But it wasn't what made them popular, it was their treasure vault every time they emerge in Sword Platform.
The last emergence of the plateau was way back 2,189,824 years ago exactly and the beneficiary was the Lotus Sword School. It was rumored that the matriarch of the school got many terrifying items which led them to greater heights as of now.
The Soaring Plateau was generous enough to give treasures but of course, there's a catch. It was confirmed by the matriarch herself. After all, there was no such actual free lunch in this world.
"This is good. Actually, I have some debts to collect with Soaring Plateau. It's good that they're going to appear again after hiding for so long." Jin Rou smiled. Han Li had a past grudge with them and since they're going to appear, he might as well tie the knot.
The ancestor gulped when he heard this. It seemed that a bloodbath would be inevitable once this existence challenged the plateau. Supposedly, even top lineages showed respect to the plateau. After all, they were very mysterious and powerful.
In the past, it was rumored that a sword eternal led three sword emperors to challenge the plateau. Unfortunately, the four didn't make it back alive. It was said that they were killed inside without the outsiders knowing it.
This news shook the entire Thousand Realms. Remember, the group had a sword eternal! How would that be possible to kill them that easy?
Han Li was filled with vital information regarding the mysterious Soaring Plateau so it wouldn't be hard for Jin Rou.
"Let me be your guide, Young Master. The place is already predicted and I can take you there." Seeing the interest in Jin Rou's eyes, Princess Chinu decided to use this opportunity to come along. She knew she could learn many things under Jin Rou's banner.
"You're pretty scheming for your age." Jin Rou chuckled but he didn't mind it, "Very well, since you insist, I'll be in your care."
The ancestor was happy to hear this and immediately whispered to the princess, "Be sure to serve him well, Princess."
With Chinu's outstanding beauty, no man could resist her charms. Many strong lineages extended their invitations for marriage alliance towards the Firm Sword but the princess didn't like any of them, so the lineage had to refuse.

Corners of the Araya Street. It was already packed with people. Many were greatly anticipating the appearance of the Soaring Plateau.
Chinu was serving tea to Jin Rou on a top of a mountain. To avoid attention, Jin Rou chose this place. Furthermore, it was also near and could observe the whole Araya Street.
"It's already packed with cultivators. The Soaring Plateau seems to be loved by many." Jin Rou said while sipping his tea. The people below were over a million already in a generous estimation. If one actually counted them, it might be over two million.
Even those from far away land take a trip here. The street was small to begin with, so it couldn't contain the people. That's why there were some who chose to find another location to wait.
One of them was a group of youths who happened to aim for the mountain where Jin Rou was.
"Princess Chinu?" A handsome youth asked confused. He looked at the princess who was serving cookies and tea to an ordinary man who was sitting leisurely.
The beauty of Chinu couldn't be hidden, thus many were already enchanted by it.
"Young Master Bale, this mountain is already occupied. Please find another one." Chinu humbly said. She didn't want a strife to happen here.
"Princess, what are you doing here?" Bale asked again, ignoring what the princess said, "You are a princess, why will you serve this normal looking man? If your ancestors find out, they will surely be mad."
In Bale's eyes, Jin Rou was a sore eye that he needed to slap to learn his place.
