Lin Jiufeng accepted the supplements.
He thought for a long time.
But he still couldn't figure out who this Miss Hong was.
'Damn it. How annoying. I just can't remember.'
In the end, he gave up on trying to guess her identity.
Since this Miss Hong clearly had her own motives, she would definitely appear once again. At that time, Lin Jiufeng would know who she was.
"My top priority now is still to make a breakthrough into the next stage."
Lin Jiufeng's body disappeared in front of the entrance to the Cold Palace.
He resumed his routine of signing in quietly.
He signed in every day.
Miss Hong's subordinates didn't show up at the Cold Palace anymore.
Miss Hong herself never appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng.
It was as if this Miss Hong didn't even exist in the first place.
Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng was never a curious person.
If Miss Hong didn't appear, his life wouldn't change at all.
He would continue to sign in, cultivating, and making breakthroughs in peace.
On this day, Lin Jiufeng stood in front of the courtyard gate.
His body stood long and straight.
He wore a purple coat and when it was paired with the pink shade of the cherry tree, the scene seemed to be depicted in a painting that had come to life.
Meow!
The white cat stood on the courtyard wall and watched silently.
Today, Lin Jiufeng was somewhat depressed.
The white cat didn't know what happened.
It calculated the time.
It seemed that Lin Jiufeng would always be depressed on this specific day and month every year.
Do men have some kind of mechanism that makes them depressed for a few days every year?
The white cat jumped off the courtyard walls and came in front of Lin Jiufeng.
It wrote and asked…
"You're always in a bad mood on this specific day and month every year. Why?"
Lin Jiufeng glanced at the white cat.
Then, he looked at the cherry tree.
With his hands behind his back, he replied faintly, "Because today is my younger brother's death anniversary."
The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng curiously.
It wrote and asked curiously, "You actually have a younger brother?"
The white cat had always thought that Lin Jiufeng was a loner.
"Silly cat, if I don't have a younger brother, why is Emperor Lin Tianyuan calling me Uncle then?" Lin Jiufeng replied, speechless.
The white cat looked vexed.
It covered its eyes with its claws and cried at its own stupidity.
"How long has your brother been dead?" The white cat changed the subject, not wanting to embarrass itself.
Lin Jiufeng pointed with his finger and said, "This cherry tree was planted in the courtyard when he passed away. Back then, it was just a sapling. But now, it's already so tall and strong."
Lin Jiufeng looked sad when he said all of these.
In this world, other than the martial path that interested him…
There was someone else whom Lin Jiufeng held valuable in his heart.
It was Emperor Yuan—the Emperor Yuan who had always referred to him as, 'Big Brother'.
His understanding of Emperor Yuan was even better than Lin Tianyuan.
After all, they were born an entire generation apart.
Thus, they couldn't communicate with each other that well.
It has been about a decade or two since Emperor Yuan died, Lin Jiufeng would usually be depressed every year on this specific day and month.
But he could usually control his emotions.
As long as he didn't think about it, it wouldn't hurt him.
But today was different.
When Lin Jiufeng saw this cherry tree, his thoughts instantly churned and he found it hard to suppress them.
This cherry tree was just a sapling when it was planted back then.
But today, he realized that it had already grown so big.
It was then when it struck him—his younger brother had already died many years ago.
Lin Jiufeng wasn't in the mood to cultivate today.
He turned around and left.
Meow ~
The white cat immediately called out.
"I'm going to see my younger brother. Guard the Cold Palace well." Lin Jiufeng strode out.
Meow!
The white cat instead followed him closely behind.
It leaped onto Lin Jiufeng's broad shoulders and curled up.
Lin Jiufeng didn't mind and he brought the white cat with him to the Imperial Cemetery.
The past Emperors of the Yuhua God Dynasty were buried here.
Lin Jiufeng's father and Emperor Yuan were buried here too.
Lin Jiufeng's father's tomb was huge and luxurious.
It was built by Emperor Yuan for him back then.
When it came to Emperor Yuan's own tomb, although it was also grand, it was really shabby compared to his father's tomb.
Lin Jiufeng stood in front of Emperor Yuan's tomb.
He looked at the various tombs surrounding Emperor Yuan, his thoughts running wild.
"I've always been taking care of your son. He was a little reckless and made some mistakes, but I helped him correct them. However, it's a pity that his body can no longer live to a ripe old age."
In front of Emperor Yuan's tomb, Lin Jiufeng felt guilty.
After all, Lin Tianyuan was the person that Emperor Yuan chose.
As his uncle, Lin Jiufeng said that he would take care of him, but Lin Tianyuan only have about 40 years to live.
"Your reforms are basically completed. After Lin Tianyuan suffered through that previous setback, he finally knows how to properly manage the Yuhua God Dynasty. You don't have to worry anymore."
"Today, I noticed that the cherry tree that I planted the year you passed away is now towering and strong."
Lin Jiufeng was usually so focused on his cultivation that he didn't pay much attention to such things.
"You've been gone for almost 20 years now." Lin Jiufeng stood up straight.
He looked at Emperor Yuan's tomb and sighed.
As he reminisced, Lin Jiufeng talked a lot. He even helped Emperor Yuan clean up his tomb.
Finally, he stood in front of the tombstone and bowed deeply.
[Do you want to Sign-In before Emperor Yuan's tomb?]
Lin Jiufeng was stunned.
He could even Sign-In here?
What kind of powerful and evil place was this?
But Lin Jiufeng thought that he would be a fool not to sign in, so he still agreed.
[Sign-In successful. Received Fate Changing Technique!]
Lin Jiufeng was stunned when he saw this.
"What's this Fate Changing Technique?" Lin Jiufeng thought, dumbfounded.
Boom!
A vast stream of information entered Lin Jiufeng's mind. It was instantly absorbed by him.
A minute later, Lin Jiufeng opened his eyes and looked at Emperor Yuan's tomb in surprise.
[The Fate Changing Technique can change the life of a powerful cultivator into that of a weak cultivator, changing one's fate.]
The introduction was simple, but it revealed a lot of information.
"Can I exchange someone else's life for a dead person's?" Lin Jiufeng asked excitedly.
If it could be done, the Emperor Yuan that he had always missed could be resurrected.
[Host has to figure it out on your own, this is not a simple matter!]
Lin Jiufeng smiled. "Of course, I know that it's not a simple matter, but it's fine. To let Emperor Yuan see the light of the day again, I will do my best."
Lin Jiufeng always felt that Emperor Yuan's death was a great pity.
Now that there was a sliver of hope for his resurrection, he wanted to give it a try.
[Forcefully changing one's fate will incur the wrath of the heavens!]
Lin Jiufeng ignored this sentence.
He knelt and reached out to wipe the dust on Emperor Yuan's tombstone. Then, he said firmly. "You wait here for your Big Brother. Big Brother will definitely let you wake up to this brilliant world once again, so you can see the new world after that rain."
Emperor Yuan was very talented, comparable to the previous Lin Jiufeng.
Once he was revived, he would definitely stand out in this brand new world.
On the day of his resurrection, the Yuhua God Dynasty would no longer need his protection.
With this thought in mind, Lin Jiufeng stood up.
He turned around and walked away in large strides.
He wanted to go back and make a breakthrough into the realm beyond the Human God Realm as soon as possible. He wanted to see for himself what lied beyond the unknown. At the same time, he also wanted to take a closer look at the Fate Changing Technique.
It was absolutely impossible to revive someone who had been dead for almost 20 years without sufficient strength and capability.
'I want to surpass the Immortal Treasury stage!' Lin Jiufeng said firmly to himself.
On the journey from the Imperial Cemetery to the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng walked firmly and continuously.
Boom!
As soon as he entered the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng's body trembled.
He broke through and arrived at the next stage.
He had accumulated and consolidated his cultivation base for so long to the point that the only detail that held him back was a certain regret in his heart. When this regret of his was resolved after this visit to the Imperial Cemetery—he naturally broke through.

Chapter 62: The Reason for the Brand New World
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He naturally broke through the Immortal Treasury stage and entered the third stage of the Human God Realm.
Ultimate Man!
Upon reaching this stage, one would no longer have a mortal body.
Hence, they would be an Ultimate Man.
Lin Jiufeng returned to the Cold Palace.
He didn't immediately study the intricacies of the Ultimate Man Realm.
Instead, he studied the Fate Changing Technique in detail.
In the courtyard filled with bone swords, Lin Jiufeng sat quietly as he pondered over a problem.
Fate Changing Technique.
Its name itself made it obvious that it was a heaven-defying technique.
But heaven-defying techniques were often accompanied by fatal flaws.
It was the same for the Fate Changing Technique.
One could bolster the life of a mortal in exchange for the life of a super powerhouse.
The difference between the two must be at least a hundredfold.
Only then could the prerequisite for the use of the Fate Changing Technique be satisfied.
Yes, this was only the prerequisite.
The Fate Changing Technique also had a demanding requirement for the user.
The user must have the ability to travel between the World of the Living and the Netherworld.
The current Lin Jiufeng was unable to travel between the World of the Living and the Netherworld.
'It's extremely difficult to execute this Fate Changing Technique.' Lin Jiufeng sighed.
He still had to become stronger and he also had to prepare a super powerhouse for Emperor Yuan. In addition, these were just the prerequisites. There were still other requirements or ingredients before the Fate Changing Technique could be utilized.
'Let's take it slow. In the endless years to come, I will continue to work hard by signing in and cultivating. There is still hope. There will be.'
Lin Jiufeng buried this conundrum into the deep recesses of his mind.
But in the future, when he was more powerful than he was today, he would revisit this matter and change Emperor Yuan's fate.
…
After making a breakthrough into the third stage of the Human God Realm…
Even Lin Jiufeng himself was starting to get scared of his own strength.
He had unlocked the True Qi, Divine Soul, Physical Body, and Daoist Charm Immortal Treasuries while he was in the Immortal Treasury stage of the Human God Realm.
According to the ancient records, a cultivator's strength would still be terrifying after arriving at the Ultimate Man stage despite having only opened a single Immortal Treasury in the Immortal Treasury stage.
Compared to them, Lin Jiufeng had opened the four great immortal treasures.
Obviously, his strength was already incomprehensible.
In the Immortal Treasury stage, these opened Immortal Treasuries all had their own duties.
They didn't interfere with each other nor interacted with each other.
Therefore, no one knew how truly powerful they were.
But now that he was in the Ultimate Man stage and had mastered all four of them…
He was able to stack them on top of each other.
Now, whenever Lin Jiufeng used such a method to unleash his strength. The amplification to his power wasn't as simple as adding four 1s together with their sum representing his resulting might.
Instead, they superimposed upon each other to infinity and beyond.
Lin Jiufeng felt that every time he inhaled the air around him, he was becoming stronger.
This feeling of becoming infinitely stronger made Lin Jiufeng raise his hand.
He tapped the air in front of him out of curiosity.
Dong!
The void instantly collapsed like a mirror.
In the very next moment, Lin Jiufeng reached out and repaired the hole in the void, restoring the place to its original state.
"How terrifying!" Witnessing such a scene, the white cat meowed in surprise.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the white cat.
He smiled slightly and said, "You're too weak. You have to make a breakthrough into the Human God Realm. Otherwise, it would be too easy for me to bully you."
The white cat nodded solemnly.
Indeed, it was determined to make a breakthrough soon.
It couldn't let the distance in strength between it and Lin Jiufeng become too far, could it?
The white cat no longer said that it wanted to surpass Lin Jiufeng.
It eventually realized that its wish was too unrealistic.
Now, it only wanted its cultivation base to not be so distant from Lin Jiufeng's.
Meow ~
Suddenly, the white cat called out and began writing.
"In the past few days, there have been some changes in the underground palace. Something seems to be manifesting in the depths of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy."
Lin Jiufeng looked at the words written by the white cat and he immediately urged.
"Bring me there. Let's take a look."
The white cat immediately brought Lin Jiufeng into the underground palace.
This palace was originally discovered by the Chasing Corpse Sect and they treated it as their precious treasure. Unfortunately, after the death of two Martial Sages from the Chasing Corpse Sect, they no longer dared to approach it.
The palace was moved here by the Demon Lord back then for some unknown reason.
The palace was empty as ever.
Lin Jiufeng hadn't come down for many years.
This was the white cat's lone territory.
But this time, it realized that something was amiss.
As a result, it retreated and called Lin Jiufeng down to take a look.
Walking down the passageway, Lin Jiufeng once again saw the palace.
Lin Jiufeng immediately found out that the runes on the surface all over the palace's walls seemed to be a defensive array formation.
With his knowledge in formations thanks to the Encyclopedia of Array Formations, he directly opened the array formation and stepped into the palace.
The palace might be empty, but it was clean and tidy.
The filth that surrounded the place when he last visited was nowhere to be seen.
The white cat had obviously moved all the trash out and cleaned up the place.
In the middle of the palace, a coffin could be seen.
Lin Jiufeng came in.
He looked around and asked, "Where is the abnormality that you said?"
The white cat jumped onto the coffin.
It pointed to the bottom of the coffin and began writing.
"It's right under this coffin. Whenever night falls, a demonic aura seems to be coming out of it. I can hear people roaring, and sometimes when I fall asleep, I will have dreams of millions of demons crawling out of this coffin."
Lin Jiufeng looked down. The coffin was clean.
He reached out and touched it.
Then, he used his spiritual consciousness to scan the coffin.
"There's actually a black hole beneath this coffin?" Lin Jiufeng asked in surprise.
With a flick of his finger, a stream of True Qi burst forth.
It slowly moved the coffin away.
Click! Click! Click!
The white cat watched curiously.
When it moved halfway, the edge of the black hole could finally be seen.
Boom!
Boundless demonic energy surged out.
It directly engulfed Lin Jiufeng and the white cat.
Amidst the demonic energy were the wails and shrieks of countless demons.
"Hahaha! It has been 1,500 years! I can finally see the light of day again!"
"That demon last time actually suppressed me for 1,500 years. He really deserves to die."
"We could have become stronger in this world, but we were suppressed for 1,500 years instead!"
"The scent of this brand new world is so wonderful. I want to kill lots of people. I want to use their blood and life to comfort myself after being suppressed for so many years…"
All sorts of screams, hideous shrieks and angry roars sounded non-stop.
The dense demonic energy scared the white cat so much that its hair stood on end.
It curled its back and bared its teeth.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jiufeng's face turned cold.
He directly took a step forward.
"You lot really behaved atrociously in front of the wrong person…"
Dong!
Lin Jiufeng stepped down. In an instant, a boundless might and a thick Dao charm burst forth at once. The combination completely suppressed the demonic aura.
The surging demonic energy was completely suppressed.
Lin Jiufeng's clothes fluttered, his aura was unparalleled, and his eyes were cold.
"Don't run!" Lin Jiufeng reached out and grabbed a demon in the black hole.
Without caring whether the other party agreed or not, he directly grabbed and dragged him out.
"Who are you?"
"There's actually a powerhouse like you in this brand new world?"
"You're already at the Human God Realm?"
"How is this possible?"
This demon had a strange appearance.
His neck was long and he had a head that looked like it would fall off from his shoulders at any moment.
Right now, Lin Jiufeng was holding his head.
His face turned red from the pressure as he looked at Lin Jiufeng in horror.
"Tell me, where are you from?" Lin Jiufeng asked.
"We are demons from a demon's den." The demon felt terrible being held by the neck, but he didn't dare to struggle.
Under Lin Jiufeng's powerful aura, he couldn't resist at all. Thus, he could only answer.
Lin Jiufeng frowned and asked, "What's a demon's den? What's the brand new world? And what's your motive for coming here?"
"A demon's den is just a demon's den. Ours existed since 8,000 years ago."
"The words, 'brand new world' has a meaning…"
"It means that every era has a cycle, from the beginning to its rise and then to its decline. This is considered the cycle of an era. But when the decline comes, a demon's den will close and wait for the next cycle."
"And now, it is the beginning of yet again another cycle. Naturally, the seal on our demon's den has been lifted and we are about to come out from it into the world."
"We tried to come out 1,500 years ago, but the spiritual energy of the world had yet to recover at that time. A brand new world wasn't born yet. As a result, we were easily suppressed by a demonic cultivator." The demon spoke very fast and his words solved Lin Jiufeng's doubts.

Chapter 63: Monster Spawner
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The spiritual energy of the world was similar to all living things. It has a cycle.
Akin to that of a ball thrown into the air, the most powerful person should be born at the peak of the spiritual energy cycle. Then, upon its decline, the spiritual energy of the world would sharply decrease in quality. It would then become increasingly difficult for anyone to make a breakthrough in their cultivation.
This represented the end of an era. Even if one had terrifying strength, they would still be unable to display it. They could only seal themselves up and wait for the next spiritual energy recovery which signaled the start of an era.
A cycle represented the coming and the end of a life.
A life for ordinary people was about a hundred years.
A tree's life could last for thousands of years.
Plantlife only lasted a single autumn.
Different lives had their own different life cycles.
This was how the world worked.
Why was it that when Lin Jiufeng had only just arrived in this world, the most powerful person in the world was only a Great Grandmaster cultivator?
It was impossible for people to find living Martial Sages at that time.
Later on—when the spiritual energy showed signs of recovery—Martial Sages gradually appeared.
But it was only when that rain fell did the world thoroughly changed.
It was only after that rain did the people found out that a brand new world had arrived.
The demons in their demon's den were all waiting for the right opportunity.
Unfortunately, they were suppressed by the Demon Lord 1,500 years ago.
The Demon Lord was one of the last Human Gods of the previous spiritual energy recovery cycle.
Before he died, he discovered that the demons from the demon's dens would be coming out in the distant future.
Although he was a demonic cultivator, the Demon Lord wasn't planning on colluding with them.
He directly moved the palace that he had spent his entire life constructing at the center of a prosperous land that gradually became the Yuhua God Dynasty. Then, he also suppressed the exit of that demon's den. In fact, he even used his own copper coffin to suppress it.
The Demon Lord sure was altruistic!
Then, the Chasing Corpse Sect found the palace.
They wanted to open it up and plunder its treasures.
From the beginning till the end, the people of the Chasing Corpse Sect had no idea that there was an extremely terrifying demon's den beneath the palace itself.
They studied the palace for a long time, but they still couldn't open its doors.
As a result—when the Chasing Corpse Sect was hunted by the people of the world—they had no choice but to give up this Land of Extreme Negative Energy along with its treasures.
After that, hundreds of years passed. The Yuhua God Dynasty was finally founded and they chose the surrounding area to be its Imperial Capital.
The stories about the demon's den, the Demon Lord, and the Chasing Corpse Sect disappeared silently together with the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.
In the end, the prince of the Yuhua God Dynasty was deceived into building a palace here.
Then, lady luck abandoned him and he died of depression soon after.
Afterwards, the place became the famous Cold Palace.
No one even dared to come here by now.
Lin Jiufeng mentally sorted out the origins of this Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
'At first, I was puzzled as to why a Land of Extreme Negative Energy was born here. Moreover, following that rain, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was also refreshed for signing in. Who created such a place?'
'I finally understand now. It's not the Yuhua God Dynasty, nor the Chasing Corpse Sect, nor is it the Demon Lord. The Land of Extremely Negative Energy was created by the people of the demon's den that the Demon Lord had sealed.'
'They are the original owners of the Land of Extremely Negative Energy. It's just that they chose to seal themselves here after the end of an era. Then, as time passed, I became the owner of this place…'
Lin Jiufeng murmured.
The white cat anxiously wrote on the side.
"Help me ask about the whereabouts of the Demon Lord."
Lin Jiufeng immediately asked the demon.
The demon that was being held by the neck didn't dare to not answer.
He replied almost immediately. "I don't know. They all said that the Demon Lord is dead because he wanted to suppress our demon's den. Even in an era with poor spiritual energy, such endeavor was still a great danger to his life."
The white cat meowed and became depressed.
It was still thinking about finding the Demon Lord if the latter was still alive.
"Powerful man, I've answered everything and I've been honest all this time…"
"Can you let me go?" The demon begged in grievance.
Back in his era, he had been an infamous demon.
But as the era changed, these demons lost the ample support of the world's spiritual energy, so they sealed themselves underground and became trapped in this Land of Extreme Negative Energy, waiting for the arrival of a new era.
Right now, after spending a long time without properly cultivating, their proficiency in their techniques and abilities had atrophied. Similar to those that spent a long time on their beds, their skills and abilities were currently unusable for them.
'When I was at my peak, it was easy for me to crush a Human God like you to death…'
'You are only able to strut around because I am suppressed and unable to absorb the spiritual energy of the world. Once I'm free and can absorb spiritual energy again, I will definitely cut off your head as soon as I can.' The demon cursed in his heart.
But on the outside, he was still very obedient.
Lin Jiufeng pondered for a moment before asking, "Other than your demon's den here, are there any other self-proclaimed factions?"
"There's way too many…"
"Our demon's den is one of the 18 demonic sects of the previous era. The other 17 demonic sects had also sealed themselves. There are also some Daoist factions, Buddhist factions, rogue cultivators, hidden powerhouses, and so on…"
"They have all sealed themselves and are waiting for the arrival of a new era," The demon said in a matter-of-factly way.
"In other words, although this world looks like it is a brand new era with everyone standing on the same starting point on the surface, there are countless self-proclaimed powerhouses in private, waiting for the right time to appear?" Lin Jiufeng pondered before asking.
"That's right, so you'd better let me go…"
"This way, there will be no grudges between us."
"Move this coffin away, and we will overturn this palace. Then, our demon's den will be able to reappear in the world," the demon said excitedly, "by that time, we will definitely satisfy you in whatever way you want."
Lin Jiufeng watched as the demon winked at him all the while promising all sorts of benefits.
But Lin Jiufeng ended up shaking his head in indifference as he said, "I have already understood what I wanted to understand. As for you, just stay in the demon's den and stay sealed there."
Lin Jiufeng directly hurled this demon into the demon's den.
"No…"
The demon screamed.
He instantly circulated his might.
Surging with violent demonic energy, he charged out.
It has been too long since he was sealed. He was already numb and tired. He didn't want to stay in the demon's den anymore.
He wanted to see this brand new world.
Dong!
But under Lin Jiufeng's foot, the palace trembled a few times. Layers of talismans appeared at the entrance of the demon's den. They intersected with each other and formed a perfect sealing array formation.
The demon directly collided with the sealing array formation.
Blood flowed from its head as it fell into the endless abyss with a tragic cry.
"Human, just you wait! I will definitely come out and kill you!"
The demon shouted angrily, its voice echoed far and wide.
Lin Jiufeng's expression was as calm as ever he replied, "On top of this den is my Cold Palace. If I let you guys out, wouldn't the Cold Palace that I've lived in for 30 years be destroyed in your hands?"
He still had to sign in at the Cold Palace, he couldn't let them destroy it.
[Do you want to Sign-In before a demon's den?]
Speaking of the devil…
Lin Jiufeng raised his brows at the timely arrival of the system prompt.
But he didn't hesitate as he said decisively, "Sign in."
It was obvious that this was the first time that this demon's den had been exposed to the outside air. After all, the Demon Lord's coffin and the palace outside the coffin had been blocking this demon's den.
There was also a lot of soil surrounding the entrance itself.
It would be a miracle if anyone was able to discover it without deliberately looking for it.
Lin Jiufeng judged that he would receive bountiful rewards for signing in before a place that was discovered for the first time after so many years.
[Sign-In successful. Received Demon Suppression Record cultivation technique.]
[Sign-In can be repeated here. As long as you defeat different demons, you can sign in again.]
Lin Jiufeng thought that signing in for a cultivation technique was already good enough.
But who would have thought that it would be a place where he could sign in repeatedly?
"Monster Spawner?"
This term appeared in Lin Jiufeng's mind as he had played Minecraft in his previous life.
In the eyes of others, this demon's den was an extremely dangerous place that could take anyone's life at any moment.
But in Lin Jiufeng's eyes, this was just a Monster Spawner.
A Monster Spawner that he could use to indefinitely solo farm the demons within it.

Chapter 64: The Dangerous Demon's Den?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sign-In could be repeated in front of the demon's den until every demon inside was defeated by Lin Jiufeng.
Such a system prompt had always only been in Lin Jiufeng's dreams.
He now had a place in the Cold Palace where he could Sign-In indefinitely.
Moreover, the people he would be defeating were all very powerful demons.
The rewards he could take upon defeating them were bound to be decent at the very least.
"Not bad, not bad. This Cold Palace really is full of treasures," Lin Jiufeng said happily.
The white cat looked at the joyful Lin Jiufeng in confusion.
"There's a demon's den deep underground, what do we do in the future?"
The white cat wrote and asked.
"We will live the same life as usual. The demon's den has already been sealed by me," Lin Jiufeng said casually.
He wasn't afraid of this demon's den.
"Aren't you afraid that these demons will rush out? They are powerful existences from the previous cycle of the world's spiritual energy!" The white cat was worried.
"Although they were powerhouses back then, they chose to seal themselves in the end. As a result, they are deprived of the world's spiritual energy inside that demon's den. How could they possibly defeat me considering their circumstances?" Lin Jiufeng explained.
The cultivation bases of those demons could be stronger than his, but their bodies had already dried up and their proficiency in their techniques and abilities had long atrophied.
Those demons were akin to a long river that has long dried up.
How could they possibly be a match for Lin Jiufeng who was a lake on his own?
The white cat seemed to be in deep thought.
It seemed to have understood what Lin Jiufeng meant.
"You want to suppress them forever?" The white cat wrote and asked.
The corner of Lin Jiufeng's mouth curled up as he said, "That will depend on how much profit I can reap from them."
The white cat was confused. What was he saying?
It was a cat, it couldn't understand Lin Jiufeng's vocabulary.
Lin Jiufeng didn't explain, however, he brought the white cat out of the underground palace and completely sealed this place so no one could enter it without his permission.
After exiting the underground palace, Lin Jiufeng started cultivating.
He had just signed in and received the Demon Suppression Record.
This was a very powerful demonic cultivation technique.
When cultivated, it could suppress all other demonic and evil cultivation techniques.
Lin Jiufeng had no reason not to cultivate it.
After all, he could even use it to attack the demons in that demon's den.
…
Lin Jiufeng was quietly cultivating the Demon Suppression Record in the Cold Palace, but Miss Hong was working very hard to suppress the places that showed signs of demons coming out.
This time—it was at the Heavenly Mountain—a mountain far distant from where the Yuhua God Dynasty was located. There were many temples here that were established from the previous era.
Every temple had a terrifying existence sealed inside.
Miss Hong worked hard to suppress them.
Suppressing the four temples that were showing prominent signs of breaking out took a heavy toll on Miss Hong's body. She couldn't help but bitterly smile as he stood on the summit of the Heavenly Mountain and looked at the world around her.
"I shouldn't have woken up so early…"
"I wouldn't have to work so hard right now."
Miss Hong's bitter smile deepened.
When she woke up a few decades ago, she was the only living person from the previous era.
"The people of this new era still need enough time to develop…"
'The final mission of the members of the Heavenly Dao Sect is to make the cultivators of this era stronger than ever before. At the very least, they have to be able to withstand those terrifying existences from the previous era.' Miss Hong muttered to herself.
This was also why she took the initiative to give pointers to the Daoist priests, the young monk, and that towering man.
It was all so that they could make a breakthrough into the Human God Realm.
This was the mission of those from the Heavenly Dao Sect.
It was also one of their principles in cultivation.
There should have been a large group of people from the Heavenly Dao Sect suppressing these people from the previous era. But even though the new era had already arrived, she was still the only one who managed to wake up.
What's worse was that she was even injured while she was still adjusting to her brand new life.
The others were nowhere to be seen.
Miss Hong had no other choice but to become the Holy Maiden of the Great Yan Dynasty.
She then entered the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty to find more information about the others.
But during that exploration, she failed and was captured.
She was almost forced to confess her motives as she was continuously tortured.
Luckily—at that time—someone gave up everything to save her.
Miss Hong owed him her life.
If she didn't return this favor to him, her Divine Soul would forever be incomplete.
'Back then, I went to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty to find more information about the location of the 18 demonic sects' most powerful demon's den.' Miss Hong recalled.
When she woke up, she found out that she was the only member of her sect that was awake.
At that time, she felt deceived.
Then, she became the Holy Maiden of the Great Yan Dynasty.
She helped the Great Yan Dynasty improve in various fields.
Eventually, she gained the unanimous love and respect of the dynasty's people.
After stabilizing her identity as the Holy Maiden of the Great Yan Dynasty, she went to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
She thought that she would go quietly without anyone knowing. She wanted to find out where the most powerful demon's den of the 18 demonic sects was located. She wanted to see if the seal of that den was broken. If it wasn't, she planned on immediately strengthening that seal.
Unfortunately, when she arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty, a prodigal young master took fancy to her because of her beauty. He wanted to bring her home forcefully.
The plot after that was very simple and clichéd.
Miss Hong taught the prodigal young master a lesson, but she also exposed her identity in the process. In an instant, she was surrounded by the people of the Yuhua God Dynasty and was arrested before being thrown into prison.
Her idea of looking for that demon's den was destroyed before she could even do something.
In the end, the previous Lin Jiufeng fell in love with her at first sight and released her from captivity.
After Miss Hong expressed her gratitude to Lin Jiufeng, she took the opportunity to escape and returned to the Great Yan Dynasty to recuperate.
As for that Lin Jiufeng—he was sent to prison and his position as the Crown Prince was revoked.
His body was now occupied by the current Lin Jiufeng.
The story has become a loop.
'What a shame. I not only did not discover the whereabouts of that demon's den, but I also incurred a debt of gratitude to that person resulting in my Divine Soul being incomplete until I have repaid to him what he is owed…"
"My cultivation speed has become very slow due to this. If not, I would've already been on the next stage of this realm.' Miss Hong muttered to herself in regret.
'There's also that demon's den. That's the biggest hidden danger. There are more than 3,000 Great Demons in that demon's den, and there are even some terrifying Demon Gods. They were all outstanding talents from the previous era…'
'That demon's den is also famous as the place that every demonic cultivator in the world longed to visit the most. If they were to appear prematurely in this era, they will cause an avalanche of disasters…'
'The hard work that I've put in for the past few years would also be rendered useless.'
A sense of crisis kept lingered in Miss Hong's heart
That demon's den was just too dangerous for her to ignore.
She had to be on guard.
"This won't do!"
"I have to quickly suppress these places and return to the Great Yan Dynasty. I have to think of a way to compensate that dethroned Crown Prince and restore my Divine Soul to completion…"
"At the same time, I also have to investigate where that demon's den is—that place is just too dangerous for me to ignore." Miss Hong took a deep breath.
Then, she flew away with a determined look in her eyes.
As a member of the Heavenly Dao Sect, this was her mission.
Even if she knew that she would die a horrible death, she had to suppress that demon's den.
…
The demon's den that Miss Hong hailed as a very dangerous place had already appeared.
It was right below Lin Jiufeng's Cold Palace.
Lin Jiufeng successfully cultivated the Demon Suppression Record on the first day.
The next day, he went to the underground palace to open the seal on that demon's den.
Rumble!
The surging demonic aura that rushed over was extremely terrifying.
It churned and boiled, wanting to rush out at the opportune moment.
But Lin Jiufeng directly raised his hand and struck out with the Demon Suppression Record.
Boom!
In an instant, a black lotus appeared behind Lin Jiufeng.
A black Buddha sat upright on the lotus, his hand forming a seal.
Taking a closer look, the Buddha looked exactly like Lin Jiufeng.
"Suppress!"
Without hesitation, Lin Jiufeng grabbed a demon and directly sent an attack.
The Demon Suppression Record that was said to suppress all demonic and evil cultivation techniques in the world directly beat this demon into a pulp.
The vast demonic energy was once again sealed by Lin Jiufeng.
He signed in afterwards, satisfied.
[Sign-In Successful. Received the Evil Spirit Immunity Body!]
Lin Jiufeng looked at it in surprise.
In the future—even if he was very weak—evil things and their miasmas wouldn't be able to invade his body anymore.
"As expected, instead of a demon's den. It's fitting for this place to be called a 'Monster Spawner'." Lin Jiufeng looked at the demon's den and laughed.
Then, he turned around and left.
He shall come back here tomorrow.
If Miss Hong knew that the demon's den that she was very afraid of was rendered into such a state in front of Lin Jiufeng, she would definitely doubt the education that she had received since she was young.
Was a demon's den of that caliber really that weak?
Wasn't it said that there were more than 3,000 Great Demons in there?
Wasn't the owner of that demon's den—the number one faction among the 18 demonic sects—the Demon's Way?
And that if it appeared, it would definitely cause a pandemonium?

Chapter 65: Seeking Array Formations
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Inside the demon's den of the Demon's Way.
The place itself was magical.
More than 3,000 powerful demons were sleeping in this demon's den.
There were even a few Demon Gods.
In the past, they were the most powerful force that led the 18 demonic sects.
They were invincible and unstoppable.
But with the end of an era, they had to make a choice.
Should they go along the passage of time, be glorious together, and leave this world together?
Or should they seal themselves and wait for the arrival of the next era?
This was a multiple-choice question.
Most of them chose the second choice. As a result, there were a lot of demons; there were even some Demon Gods that chose to seal themselves in this demon's den.
The more powerful a person was, the more energy they would lose upon the end of an era.
They had to fall into a deep sleep.
Otherwise, when they ultimately woke up, even the act of breathing would consume the energy that they have painstakingly stored and conserved in their bodies.
Hence, the majority of the Demon Gods and demons in the demon's den were in deep sleep.
Only less than a dozen demons woke up 1,500 years ago.
They estimated the time wrongly and were suppressed by the Demon Lord.
Just like that, these dozen or so demons supported each other until now.
Initially, they wanted to break the seal and absorb the spiritual energy of the new era to recover their former strength.
But who would have thought that they would encounter Lin Jiufeng?
Having waited for 1,500 years for nothing, they had long exhausted their energy.
Their cultivation base was high, but they couldn't use it due to the lack of spiritual energy.
Perhaps they could still defeat ordinary Human Gods, but they had no chance of winning against Lin Jiufeng.
That was why for two days in a row—Lin Jiufeng easily defeated the demons and continued to sign in as usual.
The demons who woke up early were all but infuriated.
They wanted nothing more than to fight it out with Lin Jiufeng.
Many years ago, they were well-known powerhouses in the world.
Although the times had changed, their pride remained unchanging.
They were unwilling to admit defeat that easily.
"Let's attack him together tomorrow!"
The dozen or so demons discussed their plans to deal with Lin Jiufeng.
"How about we wake up a Demon God?" Some demons were worried that they were still no match for Lin Jiufeng. They wanted to wake up a Demon God to help them.
"Are you stupid? Although the Demon Gods can defeat that ignorant and arrogant brat, they would also be able to absorb the renewed spiritual energy in the world. If that happens and they became even stronger in the new era, how can we hope to catch up to them?"
The demon with a long neck snapped.
He still had great ambitions in his heart—it was to surpass the Demon Gods.
The other demon thought about it too and they agreed with his sentiment. As long as they worked together to defeat Lin Jiufeng and got out to see the new world and absorbed the renewed spiritual energy in the air, they would also be able to become a Demon God.
The dozen or so demons started to finalize their plans.
The next day, Lin Jiufeng came early in the morning.
He opened the seal.
Rumble!
All of a sudden, more than ten demons attacked at the same time.
They completely released their auras, cultivation bases, and the remaining True Qi in their bodies.
They clearly wanted to kill Lin Jiufeng in one move.
Their auras were aggressive, surging with demonic energy, as they carried with them the determined cries of a dozen or so demons.
These auras pounced towards Lin Jiufeng.
Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng's expression remained calm, but his eyes narrowed.
When these auras rushed in front of him, his huge Divine Soul spread out.
Rumble!
The demons were akin to that of a river's water crashing down from a waterfall, thinking that it was invincible.
But in the very next moment, it suddenly encountered a tsunami that covered the skies.
Then, that same tsunami came crashing over.
It completely froze the surrounding space.
Click! Click! Click!
It was as if time itself had stopped. The demonic energy that these demons had unleashed froze in front of Lin Jiufeng.
They remained suspended in the air, seemingly unable to move.
The dozen or so demons widened their eyes in disbelief.
This new era had just started, how could someone be so powerful already?
Lin Jiufeng was too lazy to say anything.
He directly punched a demon that he had never seen before in the face, causing him to become dizzy as that same demon immediately fell back into their demon's den.
Boom!
As this demon fell, the others were also pulled down together with him.
Surrounded with the demonic energy that these demons mustered with all of their might, their figures became similar to that of a shooting star as they came crashing down onto the floor of their demon's den underneath the coffin.
As for Lin Jiufeng, he simply sealed them once more.
Then, he said with a smile. "You dozen or so shriveled demons want to deal with me?"
"Dream on!"
With his continuous routine of signing in every day, Lin Jiufeng's strength continued to grow stronger day by day. It was an inevitable and visible improvement.
Today, Lin Jiufeng defeated a demon and refreshed his chance to sign in.
He immediately used it without hesitation.
[Sign-In successful. Received a Spirit Accumulation Pill!]
A jade bottle appeared in Lin Jiufeng's hand.
Inside the bottle was a pill that looked as black as ink.
There was no other strange smell coming from it. In fact, it had a refreshing fragrance to it that stimulated one's appetite.
"This Spirit Accumulation Pill is a pill for the nourishment of the Divine Soul. It's just perfect for the white cat." Lin Jiufeng took the pill and left the underground palace.
There was no need for him to refine his Divine Soul even further after it had taken shape.
For some reason, the white cat still couldn't make a breakthrough into the Human God Realm.
It had absorbed enough spiritual energy already, but it still couldn't cross the bridge.
Some time ago, Lin Jiufeng examined its Divine Soul and spiritual consciousness.
He discovered back then that the white cat's Divine Soul was a little bit lacking.
As long as its Divine Soul was refined and strengthened, the white cat would then be able to reach the Human God Realm.
Hence, when Lin Jiufeng returned to the courtyard, he directly hurled the Spirit Accumulation Pill to the white cat.
"What's this?" The white cat wrote curiously and meowed at the same time.
"A medicinal pill that can help you make that breakthrough into the Human God Realm. Do you want it? If not, then return it to me." Lin Jiufeng stretched out his hand, gesturing to the white cat.
But the white cat in front of him had already transformed into a streak of white light.
With the pill's jade bottle in its mouth, it directly disappeared. It went to the frost jade bed in the courtyard, bit open the cap of the bottle, poured out the pill, and directly swallowed it. It didn't even care to identify the ingredients of the pill itself.
The white cat had already deemed Lin Jiufeng trustworthy enough that he wouldn't harm it.
As Lin Jiufeng watched, a smile appeared on his face.
The white cat was now making a breakthrough in the courtyard, so he didn't go in lest he disturbed it.
Lin Jiufeng prepared to look around the Cold Palace.
But outside the Cold Palace, someone came.
Lin Tianyuan!
His body was much better than the last time he saw him. Although his aura was very weak and his cultivation had been destroyed, he at least managed to stay alive.
Lin Tianyuan knocked on the door and shouted respectfully. "Uncle, I'm here to see you."
Lin Jiufeng waved his sleeve and directly opened the door of the Cold Palace.
He asked, "What are you here for?"
Lin Tianyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't visit unless I need something. Uncle knows me very well."
Lin Jiufeng smiled and said, "You haven't come to look for me in this period of time. You've been busy dealing with state matters on your own. You must have stumbled upon a problem that you cannot deal with and that is the reason why you suddenly came to look for me today."
Lin Tianyuan nodded.
He stood straight and respectfully explained.
"If it's just my own problem, I naturally wouldn't have the face to trouble Uncle about it. But this matter isn't just my own, it's related to the millions and billions of people in the world. I can only be thick-skinned and ask for Uncle's opinion."
"What happened?" Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.
He made it sound so serious.
"During this period of time, strange changes happened one after another all over the world…"
"Many aristocratic families and sects that were previously hidden from the world made their reappearance. When they resurfaced, what followed after them were even more peculiar changes…" Lin Tianyuan added.
Lin Jiufeng listened quietly.
This was similar to that demon's den.
Like those demons, those aristocratic families and sects had sealed themselves in the previous era.
They were now about to appear one after another.
The world that had finally settled down with great difficulty was now in complete turmoil.
"Uncle, how should we suppress or seal those ruins, ominous grounds, and those underground abysses?"
Lin Tianyuan asked seriously.
The appearance of those people once again brought harm to this world that was finally peaceful.
"I will set up a sealing array formation for you. Pass it down as you fit. As long as you've found a place similar to what you have described, you have to immediately set up this sealing array formation…"
"I can guarantee that it will be able to suppress those places."
Lin Jiufeng tapped a finger on Lin Tianyuan's forehead as he imparted a sealing array formation that he had created himself through his research in array formations.
After studying that thick Encyclopedia of Array Formations, Lin Jiufeng could already be considered as an Array Formation Master.
What he imparted to Lin Tianyuan was the same sealing formation he used to seal that demon's den beneath that coffin in the Cold Palace.

Chapter 66: How to Repay the Debt of Gratitude?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Tianyuan came to look for Lin Jiufeng because more and more people sealed from the previous era were about to break out of their seals. He reckoned that a bloodbath would happen the moment they appeared in the world.
.
Those people were powerful powerhouses of the previous era, although they were greatly weakened by the passing of time after being sealed for so long. The cultivators in this brand new world had just started to adapt to the renewed spiritual energy.
It was unrealistic for them to defeat those old monsters that easily.
They could do whatever they wanted. They could decide on anything.
Once they managed to come out so early, those old monsters would be able to do whatever they wanted. If that happened, the existing order and the peace of the world would undoubtedly collapse.
Hence, Lin Jiufeng imparted the sealing array formation that he developed to Lin Tianyuan.
"Pass down this sealing array formation. You don't have to worry about anything else. At least for the time being, you don't have to worry about them breaking out of their seals."
Lin Jiufeng's tone was calm, but the confidence contained within it pierced through the sky.
How could he possibly have read that thick Encyclopedia of Array Formations in vain?
"Thank you, Uncle." Lin Tianyuan thanked him happily.
"You also have to pay attention to grooming your own forces. Does the Yuhua God Dynasty already have its own Human God?" Lin Jiufeng asked.
The Yuhua God Dynasty couldn't be supported by him alone.
Lin Jiufeng would have to leave sooner or later.
"Uncle, I've already nurtured two Human Gods. Moreover, I've already set up martial training schools all over the world, and I made laws concerning the nurturing of outstanding children…"
"The martial training schools are built so that even the children of ordinary families can learn and cultivate on the martial path. Once these children grow up, their strength will definitely not be bad." Lin Tianyuan shared the results that he had achieved during this period of time.
After that absurd Empress abolishing incident, Lin Tianyuan finally realized what must do.
He must oversee the continued implementation of the reforms and he must also nurture talented youths to serve the dynasty.
Lin Jiufeng looked at Lin Tianyuan.
He couldn't help but be satisfied. "I can see that you've truly matured."
Lin Tianyuan smiled in shame as he directly took his leave.
After obtaining the sealing array formation, he didn't have a reason to continue to disturb Lin Jiufeng anymore.
When Lin Tianyuan returned to the Forbidden City, he drew the sealing array formation from his memory and passed it down.
"Get the Martial Sage Corps to take action. If there are any abnormalities anywhere, immediately use this to seal them. Don't be afraid of wasting materials. Our Yuhua God Dynasty has an abundance of them…"
"My only requirement is that the safety of everyone must be ensured," Lin Tianyuan said solemnly.
Someone immediately went ahead and delivered the message to the Martial Sage Corps
Then, Martial Sages from all directions left the Imperial Capital in droves.
They brought with them the sealing array formation that Lin Jiufeng passed down to them as they went towards the location with abnormalities to seal those old monsters.
In just a few moments, every member of the Martial Sage Corps that Lin Tianyuan had established finally left the Imperial Capital to do their jobs.
Once his subordinate broke through to the Human God Realm, Lin Tianyuan established the Martial Sage Corps.
The number of Martial Sages under his command now was a whopping 3,000.
3,000 Martial Sages and two Human Gods…
Without relying on Lin Jiufeng, this force was enough to deter anything hostile in the world and protect the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Since Lin Tianyuan turned for the better and apologized to the court officials one by one, the court officials' relationship with him became even more harmonious. They were more motivated in their work.
The world was being governed harmoniously.
At last, Lin Tianyuan could now compare to his father—Emperor Yuan—in the realm of politics and being the Emperor overall.
…
After Lin Tianyuan left with the sealing array formation, Lin Jiufeng's days became peaceful once again. No one came to disturb him as he continued his routine of signing in quietly.
Something had changed in his routine, however, every day he would defeat a demon from that demon's den in exchange for a sign-in. As a result, he would always have something new in his person every day, may it be a treasure, a bottle of pills, or a classical book of knowledge.
Lin Jiufeng wasn't picky at all.
He would take whatever he was given and he used them all to improve his strength.
In just ten-plus days, Lin Jiufeng was already at the peak of the Ultimate Human stage, which was the third stage of the Human God Realm.
He wasn't far from the fourth stage, Nirvana.
'According to the way I am quietly signing in silently now, this day for breaking through isn't far off.' Lin Jiufeng calculated in his heart.
'If I stick to my routine, the day of my breakthrough should be nigh.'
Lin Jiufeng calculated in his heart.
But ten days later, he had already defeated the demons that were awake.
The others were all asleep inside that demon's den.
Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng closed his eyes.
His Divine Soul left his body and it appeared as a second body.
It was an avatar that could harness Lin Jiufeng's full strength.
"Go inside that demon's den and wake up the others," Lin Jiufeng said to his Divine Soul.
He looked at the dozen or so demons before him.
They were all dejected.
These top powerhouses of the previous era had actually lost to a brat—Lin Jiufeng.
And they weren't even able to hold their own in the fight.
In every battle between them so far, Lin Jiufeng only had to flick his finger.
The resplendent ancient True Qi runes within his body would do the job for him as it would always smack the demons flat, instantly defeating them.
Knowing that they had no hope of winning against him, they decided to obey Lin Jiufeng's every command. Today, they brought Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul into the depths of their demon's den as the latter awakened the slumbering Demon Gods.
These Demon Gods were powerful existences that were countless times stronger than the demons that Lin Jiufeng fought against so far.
The battle lasted for about 300 exchanges. Then, he signed in and left the place after he received something that he was satisfied with.
Advance and retreat at will!
This part of his routine had become the most important part of Lin Jiufeng's daily life. Defeating demons, signing in after their defeat, and receiving bountiful rewards for his victory. Every reward that was ever so slightly useful to him, Lin Jiufeng always made sure to use them.
His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
The Human God Realm could no longer trap him anymore.
These days lasted for three months.
In three months, Lin Jiufeng's gains were enormous.
He defeated the Demon Gods one after another.
Not a single Demon God in their weakened state could defeat Lin Jiufeng.
…
Three months later, Miss Hong returned to the Great Yan Dynasty.
The first thing she did upon her return was to check the compass.
This was the Heavenly Dao Sect's supreme treasure.
It could predict if a seal on an ancient ruin from the previous era was about to be broken, releasing the old monsters within it out into the world.
"That's strange…" Miss Hong looked at the compass with a frown.
She remembered vividly that within the Yuhua God Dynasty alone, there were more than a hundred sealed beings that were about to break out of their seals.
Back then, she planned to deal with the other locations first before going to the Yuhua God Dynasty to solve all of her problems at once.
She didn't expect that these problems within the Yuhua God Dynasty would disappear in just three short months.
'How come they are all gone?' Miss Hong looked at the compass in confusion.
'Did that Human God from the Yuhua God Dynasty make a move?' Miss Hong guessed.
'But it shouldn't be that easy…'
'Suppressing one or two locations wouldn't be a problem, but to suppress more than a hundred… could it be that he knows an effective sealing array formation?' Miss Hong mumbled to herself.
'But this is also a good thing.'
After thinking for a long time, the confused Miss Hong decided to not think about it anymore.
A slight smile appeared on her lips as she heaved a sigh of relief.
'I must take advantage of this period of stability to pay the debt of gratitude that I owe to that benefactor of mine. Then, I must repair my Divine Soul to completion. Only when I'm done with this can I make a breakthrough into the next stage…'
'Only when my Divine Soul is complete can I become even stronger to suppress those people from the previous era to give the people of this era enough time to adjust to this brand new world. Hopefully, they'll become as strong as those from the previous era as soon as possible.'
Determination flitted across Miss Hong's eyes.
This was the will and the legacy of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Equilibrium!
Since Miss Hong had inherited the teachings of the Heavenly Dao Sect, she worked hard to enforce them.
'But how should I repay this debt of gratitude?'
Miss Hong thought for a while.
In the end, she couldn't think of anything suitable for repayment.
'I've got to consult the others.' Miss Hong started to make another batch of paper cranes.
This time, she folded even more paper cranes than last time as she wrote her doubts within the cranes.
'30 paper cranes will bring back 30 answers…'
'I hope those answers will help me think of a way to repay him.'
Miss Hong looked forward to hearing the answers of the recipients of these paper cranes.

Chapter 67: Opportunity for a Breakthrough
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Her duty as a member of the Heavenly Dao Sect was the reason why she gave pointers to the many Martial Sages in the world with sufficient potential to make a breakthrough into the Human God Realm.
In total, she gave pointers to 30 cultivators.
The members of the Heavenly Dao Sect have always had a special position in the world since ancient times. They were able to control a portion of the Heavenly Dao's might.
Then, they could use the Heavenly Dao either for themselves or to guide others.
30 paper cranes flew out.
In less than half a day, they brought back 30 answers.
Miss Hong opened them one by one.
The first answer was…
"After being banished to the Cold Palace and living such a tough life for decades, his heart must be twisted by now and he must be resentful. The best way to repay him would be to overthrow the current Yuhua God Dynasty and let him ascend to the throne to become the Emperor…"
"Then, he would be able to take his revenge and kill his enemies to end his resentment."
Miss Hong frowned and muttered, 'As expected of a demonic cultivator…'
'If I were to overthrow the current Yuhua God Dynasty, wouldn't that be akin to rebuilding a new dynasty? The world would be in chaos and I would no longer be able to suppress those people from the previous era. Wouldn't that be what they want to happen?'
If she really did that, she would become the greatest sinner of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
The second answer was…
"Heal his body and help him ascend to the throne of the Yuhua God Dynasty…"
Miss Hong pondered silently.
'This was not much different from the first answer.'
The third answer…
The fourth answer…
Miss Hong read through 29 answers in a row.
She received a myriad of answers, but none of them satisfied her.
Until the 30th answer came.
It was written by Monk Qingyun of the Dalin Temple in the Jiangnan area.
'Overthrowing the Yuhua God Dynasty and helping the dethroned Crown Prince ascend to the throne as the Emperor is unrealistic. He is not the only one inside that cold palace. The Human God of the Yuhua God Dynasty is with him…'
'His might is boundless and terrifying. If we were to go against him, it would end up in mutual destruction. Because of this, I suggest that we should compromise without lowering the quality of the repayment.'
Miss Hong's interest was piqued.
In what way could they compromise?
'The Yuhua God Dynasty is the number one God Dynasty in the contemporary world. One could say that it's also doing very well nowadays. They even have an army filled with nothing but Martial Sages. There were even some that had already arrived at the Human God Realm…
'Therefore, overthrowing the Yuhua God Dynasty just isn't possible.'
'In that case, why not we choose a small country and shock the world by bringing the dethroned Crown Prince there? Let him ascend to the throne of that small country. Miss Hong shall be his backer and he will be able to fulfill his dreams of overseeing a nation…'
Monk Qingyun's suggestion rekindled the light within Miss Hong's eyes.
She was surprised!
The idea was great
The Yuhua God Dynasty's territory was too vast.
Once war broke out and the world fell into chaos, it would definitely suffer a catastrophe.
But she was the reason why the dethroned Crown Prince was stripped of his position.
If she wanted to return the position of the Emperor to him—she could only use a small country outside of the Yuhua God Dynasty as a compromise.
'The question is—which country is suitable?' Miss Hong mumbled.
Thump, thump, thump!
At this moment, a maid hurriedly barged into the room as she said anxiously. "Holy Maiden! His Majesty has issued a decree and he has betrothed you to his Royal Highness, the Crown Prince…"
"The wedding is in three months…"
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is right outside. "
"He wants to barge in here!"
Miss Hong was stunned.
Her figure froze on the spot.
Seeing this, the maid misunderstood. "Holy Maiden, please don't be sad. His Majesty is old and muddled. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is a good-for-nothing. The people of our Great Yan Dynasty won't agree to this arrangement…"
Miss Hong smiled.
She held the answer given by Monk Qingyun and replied softly, "Someone's really giving me a pillow when I was feeling sleepy!"
The maid looked at Miss Hong in confusion. She did not understand what the latter meant.
"Go and ask the Crown Prince to go back. At the same time, ask him to enjoy the small amount of nobility that he has. If he dares to forcefully barge in here, he will die!"
Miss Hong waved her hand.
She was too lazy to pay attention to this Crown Prince who had always coveted her beauty.
The maid immediately retreated.
Miss Hong silently sent out another batch of 30 paper cranes.
Only one sentence was in them.
"Come to the Great Yan Dynasty and do something for me!"
She wanted to use the entire Great Yan Dynasty to repay her debt of gratitude.
…
Yuhua God Dynasty, Cold Palace.
Lin Jiufeng's life remained peaceful as ever.
His routine didn't change that month in the days that passed.
When he woke up from his cultivation in the morning, he would enter the underground palace and undo the seal of that demon's den. Then, he would awaken the Demon Gods and defeat them one by one.
Afterwards, he would sign in and take the valuable treasures, cultivation techniques, and other items as his reward.
When this was all done and over, he would seal the demon's den once more and return to the Cold Palace.
Then, he would quietly ponder his own questions in regards to cultivation.
Over this period of time, Lin Jiufeng's cultivation base advanced by leaps and bounds.
He had already surpassed the Ultimate Human stage and entered the Nirvana stage.
The next step after Nirvana was a breakthrough into the next realm.
This wasn't difficult for Lin Jiufeng.
As he continued to become even stronger, the pressure he was exerting on the demons in the demon's den beneath the underground palace also became stronger. Today, Lin Jiufeng visited that demon's den as usual, but it was unusually quiet.
More than ten demons would usually rush up to him at the same time, but now…
There was no movement inside the bottomless demon's den at all.
He felt not an ounce of danger.
Such peace was truly ironic when the place was called 'demon's den'.
But this also showed the torture that the demons had experienced in these past few months.
They were now less arrogant than when the demon's den was first discovered.
When the seal was opened today, the demons immediately trembled and hid.
They didn't dare to make a sound.
They were afraid that Lin Jiufeng would find them.
The faith of those captured by Lin Jiufeng was a guaranteed beating.
Then, when he was done and over with them, he would casually throw them back into the demon's den like nothing.
Being treated like this—it was too shameful!
They had no idea that Lin Jiufeng could earn rewards by beating them up.
As a result, they all agreed that Lin Jiufeng was purposely doing this to humiliate them.
He would humiliate them once, and the next time he visited, he would choose a different demon so that none of them would miss out on receiving his special 'treatment'.
He was simply too despicable.
The demons and the Demon Gods alike burned with fury.
Today, Lin Jiufeng stood on top of the demon's den after opening the seal. He realized that there was no movement whatsoever inside. Raising his arm, he reached out and knocked on the entrance.
"Don't even try to play dead. One of you shall come out and fight me. Once we're done, I'll leave you lot alone as usual," Lin Jiufeng shouted.
He didn't want to go down with his real body for now.
It would be too troublesome.
Who knew how many Demon Gods were down there?
It was better to play it safe.
It wouldn't be too late for him to go down there after his breakthrough into the next realm.
The demon's den was a location of boundless space.
Hundreds of demons and the few Demon Gods inside were already awake.
Without exception, they were all defeated by Lin Jiufeng.
Then, they were thrown back down, losing all of their faces in the process.
Hearing Lin Jiufeng's words, they were furious.
"I'll go up there and see what he's like. He's simply going too far. In the previous era, we were the leaders of our own demonic sects. Who in the world dared to humiliate us like this?" A Demon God who had just woken up today was immediately infuriated by what he had heard.
His lungs were about to explode from anger as he flew up.
Boom!
His demonic energy was powerful and vast.
Although he was in a weakened state after being sealed for so long, his strength was still not something that those ordinary demons could compare to.
"Brat, stop being so arrogant. Your Demon God Grandpa shall come and kill you now."
The Demon God let out a long roar.
His aura surged as he raised his hand and a resplendent blade of light manifested.
He attacked from below, aiming to kill Lin Jiufeng in one blow.
Seeing his arrogant look, Lin Jiufeng shook his head. "You're still too naïve."
He pressed down with one hand.
Surging True Qi, a vast Dao aura, and the four great immortal treasures in his body combined their strength altogether.
Boom!
The Demon Suppression Record erupted.
An extremely terrifying black talisman condensed and smashed onto the Demon God's body with a bang.
Pu!
In a blink of an eye, the Demon God was sent crashing onto the bottom of the demon's den.
The other Demon Gods couldn't help but sympathize with him.
This was also the manner of their defeat.
Lin Jiufeng sealed the demon's den in satisfaction as he signed in.
[Sign-In successful. Received Divine Grade Grotto-heaven.]
When Lin Jiufeng saw what he received, his eyes lit up.
He couldn't help but utter in surprise. "The opportunity for my breakthrough is finally here."

Chapter 68: Troubles Come One After Another
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Divine Grade Grotto-heaven.
Lin Jiufeng was overjoyed when he received this reward.
'The Human God Realm is equivalent to a huge mountain. Only by crossing this mountain could one arrive at the next realm…'
'The Human God Realm is a concept far too surreal for ordinary people. It's a mountain that they could never scale. But only those who have truly arrived at the summit of this mountain will be able to see and understand the vastness of the world, the vast expanse of heaven and earth, and the existence of other mountains.'
Lin Jiufeng lamented.
The Human God Realm was a mountain and he was standing on its summit.
He was now about to see the real world beyond it.
The next realm after the Human God Realm was the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
Opening a grotto-heaven in one's body was tantamount to creating a small, independent world inside one's body.
This independent world was called 'Inner World'.
A cultivator could open multiple grotto-heavens, and once they have opened their tenth grotto-heaven…
Their might would truly become terrifying.
Most of the demons in the demon's den beneath the Cold Palace were at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
But their grotto-heavens had long dried up. Lin Jiufeng was able to defeat them so easily because of this.
'I've seen it in some secret books. Grotto-heavens are also divided into grades. They are divided into different grades because of the varying strengths they bestow upon their owner. This Grotto-heaven is a Divine Grade one, is divine the best grade?' Lin Jiufeng pondered.
Standing at the entrance of the demon's den, Lin Jiufeng eventually stopped thinking about it.
He decided to return for now and assimilate the Grotto-heaven he had just received and turn it into his own. Afterwards, he could then study the Divine Grade Grotto-heaven in his person.
"This demon's den is truly a treasure trove with infinite treasures."
Lin Jiufeng was satisfied and had a good impression of the demon's den in the underground palace.
But the demons within the demon's den weren't happy.
After Lin Jiufeng left, the Demon Gods all gnashed their teeth in hatred and fury.
"He has gone too far!"
"Is he treating us like clowns or domesticated animals?"
"He always comes to humiliate us at least once a day. He obviously won't let us out. When have we—in our entire life—experienced something like this?"
"We have to think of a way to fight back. How did our demon's den that once shook the world become like this?"
Disgruntled and filled with rage, the demons and the Demon Gods wished nothing but the chance to cut Lin Jiufeng into pieces.
"This seal is too strange. It always takes us ten days to break it. We're already too weak and he can always set this seal up like it's nothing. Unless he dies, there is no way for us to break this seal and escape," a demon said in distress.
"There's still a way!"
All of a sudden, a Demon God woke up from his slumber as he blurted out solemnly.
"Skyfiend, do you have a solution?"
The other Demon Gods became excited when they saw this Demon God.
Although all of them were classified as Demon Gods, there was still a huge gap between them.
Ordinary Demon Gods were stronger than demons, but among Demon Gods?
They were at the bottom.
Demon Gods that were truly powerful would receive their own honorific names.
One of those Demon Gods was this newly awakened Skyfiend.
His honorific name was Skyfiend.
Everyone respected his name.
This proved his status among them.
"It will take me at least three days to break this seal. It's just too strange. Sadly, that person comes here every day, so we cannot break this seal through conventional methods." Skyfiend stood at the bottom of the abyss, he looked at the seal above them as he commented.
"Lord Skyfiend, you are one of the seven founders of our demon's den. Your demonic cultivation base is world-shaking. Is there a way for us to deal with this seal?" A demon asked respectfully.
"Yes, there is!" Skyfiend smiled confidently.
The other demons and Demon Gods all looked at Skyfiend.
Excitement could be seen within their eyes.
As soon as they got out, they would immediately rejuvenate their grotto-heavens by absorbing the spiritual energy in the air. Once they have recovered, they would immediately go and chop Lin Jiufeng into pieces.
"Yes, we cannot get out on our own. But back then, I had set up a contingency plan. I separated a portion of the weaker demons from us and the place where they are sealed isn't that far from us. We should be able to wake them up and let them come here to rescue us," Skyfiend said.
"That despicable and shameless human has a pretty high cultivation base. He's already at the peak of the Human God Realm," a Demon God said in worry.
Why couldn't they leave?
The seal was just a small matter.
Given some time, it would be easy for them to break the seal.
But there was this Lin Jiufeng who came here every day to beat them up. What's worse was that afterwards, he would always reinforce the seal back to its full strength.
Having fought with Lin Jiufeng before, even though they didn't want to admit it, they had to nod and say:
After having fought against Lin Jiufeng, these demons were reluctant to admit it, but they had no other choice but to accept that…
Lin Jiufeng was very powerful.
"Yes… that despicable human is so powerful that his strength seems to be more than that of a Human God cultivator…" A Demon God bared his teeth and muttered in grievance.
Only after one was given a beatdown by Lin Jiufeng could they understand how powerful he was.
The might he had was suffocating, it was unfathomable and boundless.
None of these demons knew just how strong Lin Jiufeng truly was. Did he even use all of his strength against them? Where was his limit?
"No matter how powerful he is, he is still just one person. This time, I'm going to call hundreds of demons to come here and bring disaster to this world. I don't think he'll be able to save everyone alone," Skyfiend said confidently.
When the other Demon Gods heard this, they felt relieved.
Each one of them looked forward to it.
"I will use a secret technique to inform the people of the other Devil's Dens to come out and then come here. Let this world welcome the arrival of the 3,000 Demon Gods!" Skyfiend spread his arms and said, full of confidence in his words.
"I have a secret technique to forcefully awaken our people from the other demon's den. I'll use it and tell them to come out and come here…"
"Let this world welcome the arrival of 3,000 Demon Gods!"
Skyfiend spread his arms and announced. The arrogance in his voice couldn't be unmasked.
The other Demon Gods also roared with laughter.
They seemed to be already imagining in their heads—the scene of Lin Jiufeng kneeling in front of them while begging for his life.
…
The Great Yan Dynasty…
The Holy Maiden, Miss Hong…
The 30 Human Gods have finally arrived to answer her call.
She personally gave guidance to these Human Gods and she was essentially the reason why they were in the realm that they were in right now.
They were grateful to her and they immediately answered her request without hesitation.
"The Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty has gone senile. He wanted to betroth me to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. Yesterday, the court officials and the army forced him to abdicate and before even morning could arrive, he committed suicide."
Miss Hong softly uttered as she looked at the 30 Human Gods.
In a small dynasty like the Great Yan Dynasty, her strength and prestige were enough to overturn the imperial power with only a few words on her end.
It was understandable why she said that the Emperor had gone senile and the Crown Prince was out of his mind. To think that he actually dared to covet her beauty.
"All we need to do by now is to lead the army and go to the Yuhua God Dynasty. Then, we'll ask Emperor Ming to release and pardon the dethroned Crown Prince. Afterwards, we'll bring him to the Great Yan Dynasty and help him ascend to the throne, giving him infinite glory…"
"I believe that the dethroned Crown Prince will be overjoyed with this arrangement."
The towering man laughed.
"Yes…"
"The last time we went to the Cold Palace, we didn't see the dethroned Crown Prince. Instead, we encountered that Human God of the Yuhua God Dynasty."
"Back then, we were suppressed…"
"This time, I don't think that the same will happen again. There are 30 of us Human Gods in a group, we will definitely be able to make the Yuhua God Dynasty agree to hand over the dethroned Crown Prince," Monk Qingyun was confident.
If a battle truly happened, these 30 Human Gods were enough to overthrow the entire Yuhua God Dynasty.
"If that is the case, then why do we have to bring the army with us? Why don't we just go there ourselves?" Daoist Liu Yun was confused.
"It's not that simple…"
"We might be Human Gods, but we are just 30 individuals in total."
"Our numbers just aren't domineering enough…"
"To the dethroned Crown Prince whose cultivation was destroyed and after having been imprisoned for decades, seeing an army with tens of thousands of people will have a more shocking effect than seeing 30 Human Gods."
"At that time, when all of us addressed him together as 'Your Majesty'…"
"The grievances that he had experienced throughout the years will then burst out."
Monk Qingyun shook his head and patiently explained.
"Considering all of this, the dethroned Crown Prince would definitely be endlessly grateful to Miss Hong. Since Miss Hong wants to repay her debt of gratitude, we have to do it in the most exaggerated way possible to elicit the best possible effect." Monk Qingyun added.
"Monk, you're so sly," said a Human God.
The others nodded in agreement.
Miss Hong smiled happily.
She waved her hand and said firmly, "Give the order to the army to set off! We shall set off for the Yuhua God Dynasty and rescue the dethroned Crown Prince!"

Chapter 69: Raising the Sword to Kill
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The outside world was turbulent, but Lin Jiufeng who sat alone in the Cold Palace remained at peace. He continued to silently do his routine.
Lin Jiufeng was holding the Divine Grade Grotto-heaven that he received from signing in.
"Is the Divine Grade the topmost grade?" Lin Jiufeng mumbled.
But no one could answer him.
Lin Jiufeng didn't mind.
After all, since he obtained it from signing in, it was definitely something very precious.
Lin Jiufeng looked forward to it.
He said to the white cat.
"I'm going into seclusion to make a breakthrough. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important."
The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in shock.
It meowed and it wanted to write a question for Lin Jiufeng.
But in the very next moment, it remembered that it had already consumed the Spirit Accumulation Pill given to it by Lin Jiufeng. With the help of that pill, it broke through into the Human God Realm.
"What realm are you going to break into?"
The white cat's voice was gentle and mellow.
"I want to climb over this great mountain known as the Human God Realm and see how beautiful the world beyond this mountain is," Lin Jiufeng replied.
The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng as if it was looking at a monster.
"We've just entered the Human God Realm and you're about to enter the next realm…"
The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng enviously.
If Lin Jiufeng broke through so quickly, wouldn't its dream of defeating Lin Jiufeng and stepping on him with its paws become a pipe dream?
Lin Jiufeng smiled.
He walked into the courtyard and laid on the frost jade bed.
"Stand guard for me," Lin Jiufeng said to the white cat.
Then, he closed his eyes and entered a deep state of cultivation.
That Divine Grade Grotto-heaven also entered his body.
In the very next moment, a large amount of energy burst out from Lin Jiufeng's body.
The white cat was so frightened that it hurriedly retreated.
Its claws stabbed the ground as it tried its best to prevent itself from flying.
"I didn't agree to stand guard for you…"
The white cat mumbled. Its voice was soft and weak, like a complaining little girl.
But despite its complaints, it still laid on the wall of the courtyard and stood guard for Lin Jiufeng.
And it did the same routine, day after day!
A month after Lin Jiufeng went into seclusion, the Yuhua God Dynasty was thrown into chaos.
Forbidden City, Great Council Hall.
The frail Lin Tianyuan sat on the throne, his face was deathly pale.
It has been days since he had a good night's sleep.
There were too many strange things happening lately that he couldn't sleep at all.
In the Great Council Hall, the court officials looked exhausted.
It was the same for them, they also couldn't sleep properly.
"Your Majesty, these demons from the demonic sects are indiscriminate in their wanton killings of the common people. Our people are suffering and many of them are dying." A court official reported.
"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, a ruin appeared in Luoyang. It is the ruin closest to the Imperial Capital. More than ten demonic cultivators rushed out from the inside and killed the common people around them…"
"They are currently rushing towards the Imperial Capital." Another cabinet court official reported.
"Your Majesty, these demons from the demonic sects are simply too much! They must be punished," the impartial assistant minister of the Ministry of Appointments shouted.
…
Lin Tianyuan listened to the reports of his subordinates.
He felt a headache coming. "Dear ministers, I have already sent the Martial Sage Corps and two Human Gods out. I hope that they will be enough to stop them."
3,000 Martial Sages with two Human Gods as their commanders.
Sadly, despite their numbers. They were still incapable of dealing with all the issues.
"Reporting to Your Majesty! The Great Yan Dynasty has led an army of 200,000 soldiers and 30 Human Gods into our borders. They have already passed through the Qinling Mountain Range and are heading straight for the Imperial Capital." A scout barged in and reported loudly.
The Great Council Hall fell into silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the sudden news.
"Why is the Great Yan Dynasty attacking our Imperial Capital? Although we are hostile to each other, we have never interfered with each other's affairs in the past few years."
The Cabinet Chief questioned loudly.
The way he spoke revealed how he was panicking inside.
Internal strife and external trouble.
The scout replied loudly, "I heard that it's because of the dethroned Crown Prince. The Great Yan Dynasty made a slogan, 'save the dethroned Crown Prince, let the Yuhua God Dynasty release the dethroned Crown Prince."
"Dethroned Crown Prince? What dethroned Crown Prince?"
The court officials looked at each other.
They had long forgotten about Lin Jiufeng's existence.
Instead, Lin Tianyuan's expression turned solemn.
Wasn't the dethroned Crown Prince his Uncle, Lin Jiufeng?
His Uncle, Lin Jiufeng was his greatest trump card.
How could he hand him over to the Great Yan Dynasty?
"It's just a small dynasty that wants to take advantage of the situation. There's no need to worry about it." Lin Tianyuan gritted his teeth and announced.
"Report!"
Another scout ran over and said loudly, "Reporting to Your Majesty! The Martial Sage Corps and the two Human Gods leading them were wiped out. They were completely devoured by the demons outside the Imperial Capital…"
"They are now on their journey for the Imperial Capital. They could arrive at any moment!"
"What did you say?" Lin Tianyuan stood up in surprise.
He suddenly felt dizzy…
His body went soft, and he fell straight onto the ground.
The Martial Sage Corps that he had painstakingly nurtured from the ground up was wiped out?
How could this be?
The court officials panicked.
They hurriedly went to support Lin Tianyuan.
"Your Majesty, you must pull yourself together." the Cabinet Chief advised.
"I know…"
"All of you, move aside!"
"At this critical moment, I want to be alone…"
"Cabinet Chief, I now give you full authority to handle the matters of the Imperial Capital. I'm going to see someone."
Lin Tianyuan stumbled as he got up. He wanted to go and find his Uncle.
At every moment of peril, the person Lin Tianyuan thought of was still his Uncle—Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng's whole existence gave Lin Tianyuan unlimited confidence.
"Uncle will definitely be able to handle these troubles!" Lin Tianyuan was confident.
He rejected the company of others and endured his exhaustion alone as he left the Forbidden City. The world was shrouded in darkness.
It was clearly daytime, but it was so dark that it was no different from nighttime.
The thick demonic aura scared the millions of people in the Imperial Capital.
It scared them so much that they didn't even dare to breathe.
The Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty was surrounded by black smoke. No one inside could see what was happening outside.
Demons truly were at their strongest in the dark as they continued to wreak havoc.
The Imperial Capital and the entire Yuhua God Dynasty were now in their darkest moments.
The Great Yan Dynasty army hadn't even arrived yet.
If the Great Yan Dynasty was added into the tally, the Yuhua God Dynasty would truly be powerless to turn the situation around in their favor.
The current events were both similar and different from that battle at the peak of the Forbidden City many decades ago.
Lin Tianyuan gnashed his teeth.
Enduring the weakness spreading all over his body, he came to the entrance of the Cold Palace.
"Uncle! Please save the millions of innocent civilians in the Imperial Capital!"
Lin Tianyuan knelt down and shouted.
Meow!
The white cat came. It stood on the wall and said softly, "Your uncle is in seclusion."
Lin Tianyuan was dumbfounded.
At such a critical moment, his uncle was actually in seclusion.
"I've already come out of seclusion. Let him in." Lin Jiufeng's voice suddenly rang out.
His voice immediately lifted Lin Tianyuan's spirits.
He stumbled to the front of the courtyard and quickly explained everything to Lin Jiufeng.
"Uncle, demons are wreaking havoc outside. There's also the Holy Maiden of the Great Yan Dynasty who's adding to our troubles. She's saying that she wants to save you and she wants me to release the dethroned Crown Prince…"
"Uncle, my Martial Sage Corps has been completely wiped out…"
"They are too powerful, I can't resist them." Lin Tianyuan cried.
Creak!
Lin Jiufeng opened the door to the courtyard and looked at the demonic aura billowing up in the sky. It had blocked everything including sunlight, plunging the Imperial Capital into complete darkness.
"Do I need her to rescue me?"
Lin Jiufeng chuckled and walked out.
"Uncle, the demons have already surrounded the Imperial Capital…"
"I have no idea why they are here," Lin Tianyuan said in fear.
"There's no need to worry. After tonight, the whole world shall lose their voice upon hearing about me. They are just mere demons, nothing worth mentioning," Lin Jiufeng patted Lin Tianyuan's shoulder and said calmly.
"Uncle, are you planning to fight against so many demons alone?"
Lin Tianyuan swallowed his saliva and asked.
"Do you think that those ants are difficult to deal with?" Lin Jiufeng answered with a question of his own.
If there was a group of demons dancing about in the sky, Lin Jiufeng would fly up into the sky to kill them.
If there were demons causing trouble in the outside world, then he would go outside to eliminate them.
Life truly was fascinating and unpredictable.
Lin Jiufeng was no longer the same Lin Jiufeng from a month ago.

Rumble!
The demonic energy that had gathered formed an extremely terrifying dome that surrounded the Imperial Capital.
At this moment, the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty seemed to have become an isolated island. Millions of people and the higher-ups of the Yuhua God Dynasty were trapped in this isolated island.
The demons screamed and laughed as they surged forward.
The demons from all directions slowly gathered together, wanting to barge in through the main gate of the Imperial Capital.
They surged over together. Their combined might was simply terrifying.
Were Human Gods powerful?
The Human God Realm was the highest mountain of the martial path. This was the belief of every cultivator in this brand new world. Most of them could only hope of reaching the summit of this mountain.
But in the eyes of these demons, Human Gods were just pieces of flesh and blood.
The demons were of all shapes and sizes. Some had bloody mouths, some only had one eye, and some were even humans that had transformed into demons.
Their skin was pale, and they looked like dead people.
The sight of it truly chilled anyone to the bones…
And these horrors were only a part of everything.
"Is this the brand new world?"
"The Mortal Realm… I sealed myself up for thousands of years. I waited bitterly for thousands of years and I finally saw this brand new Mortal Realm…"
"I am the Demon King of Destruction!"
"In this era, I must reach the Dao Realm!"
"This is a brand new era and it is also the best era…"
"The cultivators of this era are pitifully weak. Thus, we will have a feast."
Countless demons were shouting and running around excitedly.
These demons were at least at the Human God Realm, and they were all at the third or fourth stage.
It was no wonder that Lin Tianyuan's Martial Sage Corps and their two Human God commanders were wiped out.
"This is the Imperial Capital of a dynasty. Stain this place with blood. I haven't absorbed any flesh and blood essence for many years."
"I want to eat meat!!!"
"I miss women, I want women!"
The demons looked at the vast Imperial Capital.
Their eyes turned green as they rushed over one by one.
"I want to release the Demon Gods in that demon's den. They are the true rulers of this world."
"Only by releasing those Demon Gods can we take this world as our own and turn it into a demonic realm."
There was also a group of loyal and devoted demons hiding behind the scenes.
They wanted to enter the Imperial Capital, find that demon's den, unseal it, and release the demons and Demon Gods inside.
They were also rushing towards the Imperial Capital.
The demonic energy that surrounded the Imperial Capital made the air itself heavy.
The Imperial Capital was in grave danger at this moment.
The common people shivered and hid at home, not daring to move.
The streets were empty.
Even the higher-ups of the Yuhua God Dynasty were watching in despair.
The Cabinet Chief didn't dispatch the Forbidden Troops in the end, because that would just be sending them to death.
They believed in Lin Tianyuan and also the terrifying existence behind him.
Everyone secretly prayed that someone would step forward to save the Imperial Capital from this crisis.
Da da da!
The crisp sound of footsteps reverberated on the streets.
The usually crowded Vermillion Bird Street was empty today.
The appearance of this person attracted the attention of countless people in the Imperial Capital.
Hope gradually rose in everyone's hearts.
Lin Jiufeng walked on the street, his steps relaxed.
The surging demonic aura was about to surge toward him, but he still walked resolutely toward the main gate.
The main gate of the Imperial Capital was unmanned.
In the face of such tremendous might that no mortal could hope to defend against. It would truly take a miracle for someone to come here and man the main gate.
Lin Jiufeng came to the main gate.
He pulled a chair over and sat down quietly.
He was waiting for the demons to arrive.
The other three gates were tightly shut.
"Human. Flesh and blood. I shall devour you."
The demon that was the fastest to reach the Imperial Capital rushed over.
He wanted to devour Lin Jiufeng.
Pu!
Lin Jiufeng flicked his finger.
A streak of sword energy exploded and the demon was killed in an instant.
At the very next moment, every demon stared at Lin Jiufeng.
To be able to kill a demon so easily, this human wasn't simple.
"Human. Instead of escaping, you are blocking the way here. You are akin to a mantis trying to stop a chariot." A demon sneered.
Lin Jiufeng said calmly, "We will soon know whether it's a mantis trying to stop a chariot or not."
"Are you thinking that you alone can stop so many of us demons?"
"Human, your strength is not bad…"
"Why don't you join my Demon Cult and serve me under my crotch?"
A demon laughed and said.
Lin Jiufeng looked at him expressionlessly and flicked his finger.
Boom!
The ancient True Qi runes that he had condensed long ago burst out and transformed into murderous beams of light.
Pu!
He swiftly killed the tactless demon who spoke so arrogantly.
This time, every demon looked at Lin Jiufeng in shock.
Was it really that easy?
"You guys are from the previous era, so all of you should be buried in the previous era instead of coming to this era to lord over the others."
Lin Jiufeng looked at the demons.
He couldn't help but shake his head in disapproval.
"Human! Go die!" A demon coldly snorted and directly attacked.
It was too lazy to talk nonsense.
"Have you seen the morning sun of the Imperial Capital yet?"
Facing the demon that attacked, Lin Jiufeng didn't hesitate to draw his Demon Slaying Sword.
Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill!
This was the first sword technique that Lin Jiufeng cultivated.
At this point, his skills in this sword technique had already reached perfection.
Lin Jiufeng drew his sword, raised his eyebrows, and slashed.
An extremely terrifying phantom appeared behind him.
It was surrounded by the universe and the stars.
This phantom also drew its sword, raised its eyebrows, and slashed.
Boom!
A resplendent sword energy cut through the darkness.
The dazzling light made one feel as if they were looking at the first ray of sunlight in the morning.
This sword energy moved against the current.
It swept past this demon.
And every demon in the area was rendered speechless and frozen.
A gust of wind blew.
The demon's clothes and skin were blown away by the wind.
In the very next moment, his entire body turned into dust that scattered into the air.
Every demon could sense the power behind Lin Jiufeng's strike.
The look in their eyes changed.
Terrifying!
It was too terrifying!
They looked at Lin Jiufeng.
They couldn't understand how such a terrifying existence like Lin Jiufeng could appear at the beginning of this new era.
Lin Jiufeng looked at them.
He retracted his sword and said calmly, "I think it's better if all of you attacked together. If you come one by one, it will be certain death."
The invincible Lin Jiufeng seemed to be even worried about the demons.
But he said this mainly because killing them one by one was too troublesome for him.
They might as well attack together, so he could kill them at once.
Tens of thousands of demons had come to the Imperial Capital.
At this moment, they looked at each other. The situation they were in felt too surreal.
They were a group of powerful demons from the previous era, but they were actually being threatened by a young man in this era?
That's right…
To them, the 50-year-old Lin Jiufeng was indeed a young man.
"Attack together!" All of a sudden, a demon roared.
He was infuriated and furious, thinking that Lin Jiufeng was being too arrogant.
In an instant, the demons unleashed their attacks all together. All sorts of techniques overlapped with each other creating a brilliant and grand, yet terrifying sight.
Their target was none other than Lin Jiufeng.
But Lin Jiufeng didn't even move.
In fact, he didn't even unsheathe his sword.
He stood tall and straight as he stood before the main gates.
His eyes were calm as he watched the thousands of demons attacking him.
Even so, he stood there unmoved.
At this moment, the people of the Imperial Capital placed their hopes on Lin Jiufeng.
The white cat watched anxiously on the wall of the Cold Palace.
It bared its teeth continuously, worried about Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Tianyuan looked on with a pale face.
He was exhausted, but he didn't dare to sleep.
He had to wait for this matter to come to an end.
Rumble!
The group of demons came crashing down.
Their combined might made even the white cat—a creature at the Human God Realm—tremble in fear. It screamed and rushed out.
Its speed was tremendously fast as it turned into a white shadow that looked awfully conspicuous amidst the darkness of the night.
It wanted to go and fight alongside Lin Jiufeng.
But just as it ran out, a crisp sound shook the Imperial Capital…
"Sword, come!"
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
As soon as this voice fell, the bone swords in the deserted courtyard of the Cold Palace simultaneously shimmered as they flew out at once.
Boom!
The 365 bone swords shuttled through the air as they executed a terrifying sword technique.
Death Bone Sword Technique!

Following Lin Jiufeng's call…
The bone swords that the white cat once called useless finally displayed their might to the world.
Death Bone Sword Technique!
This was a peerless sword technique that Lin Jiufeng had once obtained from signing in.
It was nothing short of a powerful technique and it could even double as a sword formation.
The 365 bone swords slashed over in unison…
Carrying with them anger that had been accumulated for decades.
It seemingly carried with them a deep-seated anger that had been accumulating for decades.
They wanted to prove to Lin Jiufeng that the Death Bone Sword Technique executed with the bone swords was definitely one of the best sword techniques in the world.
Unrivaled and unparalleled.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The aura they emanated shocked half of the world.
…
In the Great Yan Dynasty's army, Miss Hong and her 30 Human God helpers were currently looking in the direction of the Yuhua God Dynasty's Imperial Capital in shock.
Over there, the thick demonic energy was already visible to the naked eye.
The appearance of the bone swords brought with them a sword energy that seemed to be able to destroy everything. It was simply unbelievable.
"Am I seeing things?" Monk Qingyun couldn't comprehend what he was looking at.
They were all Human Gods, but why was this person so much more powerful than them?
Miss Hong's expression changed drastically.
She bit her red lips. "How could this be? These demons actually managed to come out. Won't that mean that I have failed in my responsibility?"
She gave the order to set up camp as she took out her compass and studied it carefully.
…
Deep underground in the Cold Palace…
In the demon's den beneath the copper coffin…
The Demon Gods inside felt the tremors in the Imperial Capital.
They couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"This time, we can finally go out, right?"
"Every other demon out there has come here to rescue us. There is no way that the people of today's era can resist them."
"No matter how powerful that human is, he won't be able to withstand their attacks either. We are about to leave this place. When the time comes, we must wash at least 30,000 miles of land with blood so we can take our revenge."
The demons and the Demon Gods gnashed their teeth.
They truly hated Lin Jiufeng to the core.
…
At this moment, outside the Imperial Capital.
The combined aura of tens of thousands of demons was simply too terrifying to look at.
Even a Human God would probably just run away after a single look.
But the Death Bone Sword Technique was unparalleled.
It slashed out, and the first strike it made was akin to directly asking its enemies to reincarnate into their next lives.
The bone swords were here to send these demons into the afterlife.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Beams of sword energy exploded and rushed into the midst of the demons.
The attack directly split their forces into two halves.
In an instant, the dome of demonic energy that surrounded the Imperial Capital disappeared.
It split open as a ray of moonlight shone before the main gate of the Imperial Capital.
The moonlight fell on Lin Jiufeng's body and the next scene revealed was…
The image of a perfect man!
That's right, Lin Jiufeng's image had become akin to that of a perfect man in the hearts of many young maidens of the Imperial Capital. His calm appearance and his fluttering clothes were deeply imprinted in the hearts of these young girls who longed for love.
Thump, thump, thump!
Beneath the moonlight, the corpses of the demons dropped one after another from the sky.
They scattered all over the ground, not one of them had any life.
Counting carefully…
There were 365 corpses.
As for the bone swords, they returned to Lin Jiufeng's and circled him one by one.
The power of these swords left those who witnessed their might dumbfounded and in disbelief.
The 365 bone swords formed a sword formation that carried Lin Jiufeng up into the sky.
The scene made him look similar to a sword immortal.
This was the Death Bone Sword Technique's maiden fight.
None of the swords failed, every bone sword had killed a demon.
None of the swords failed in their mission to kill, they all took a demon's life.
Lin Jiufeng raised his hand and looked at the remaining demons.
Only one sentence came out of his mouth.
"Please go ahead and die!"
Boom!
With 365 bone swords flying around him, Lin Jiufeng charged towards the marching demons.
Kill!
Lin Jiufeng executed all of his sword techniques. He transformed into an absolute killing machine that wasted no move.
Every move and stance that he executed was for killing.
The demons were completely unable to withstand his terrifying techniques.
This was the first time that Lin Jiufeng displayed his true strength.
Grotto-Heaven!
After assimilating the Divine Grade Grotto-heaven that he received as a reward for signing in, he made a breakthrough and reached the Grotto-Heaven Realm. That Divine Grade Grotto-heaven also became his first grotto-heaven.
Rumble!
At this moment, Lin Jiufeng's Grotto-Heaven appeared and expanded throughout the space around him. It only took a blink of an eye before every demon in the Imperial Capital was enveloped by his grotto-heaven.
"This is a grotto-heaven?" A demon looked at the world around him in disbelief.
"My grotto-heaven only has a range of 100 meters and it is a Middle Grade Grotto-heaven. But his grotto-heaven is actually the prototype of a small world?"
One of the demons had a mental breakdown.
He didn't want to fight Lin Jiufeng at all. He only wanted to escape.
But where could he escape to?
Carrying his 365 bone swords, a move from Lin Jiufeng always took a demon's life.
In addition to this, they were also currently trapped within the world of Lin Jiufeng's Divine Grade Grotto-heaven and were unable to escape. They had become akin to cattle and sheep in a slaughterhouse.
Not long after, Lin Jiufeng came out of his grotto-heaven and landed on the city wall near the main gate.
His clothes and body were free of dirt. It was as if he didn't fight in a battle at all.
At this moment, he truly looked invincible.
The 365 bone swords also entered Lin Jiufeng's dantian.
Moonlight shone on his body, making him look like an immortal that had descended to the Mortal Realm.
Everyone in the Imperial Capital looked at him in anticipation.
They were so anxious that they couldn't speak.
Who exactly won?
Where were those demons?
Meow!
Suddenly, a meow came from below.
It was the white cat.
It ran out of the Cold Palace at lightning speed and leaped into Lin Jiufeng's arms.
"Are you hurt?" The white cat asked nervously.
"No." Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat and reached out to stroke it gently.
Being able to stroke a cat after a battle could be one of the happiest things in life.
"Eh, where are the demons?" The white cat asked curiously.
"On top." Lin Jiufeng pointed.
In the air, his grotto-heaven was still there.
As he stretched out his hand and pointed, the Divine Grade Grotto-heaven slowly dissipated.
The thousands of demons were wiped out.
The dense demonic energy was completely absorbed by the Divine Grade Grotto-heaven.
Hu! Hu!
Hu! Hu!
After the Divine Grade Grotto-heaven was done absorbing the demonic energy, the moon also finally appeared in the sky. Its light illuminated the ground and cast Lin Jiufeng's shadow on the ground.
The demons were gone.
The white cat blurted in surprise. "You're amazing."
Lin Jiufeng smiled without saying anything.
He stroked the cat again and deliberately messed up its fur.
However, the white cat didn't get angry. Instead, it obediently let Lin Jiufeng rub it.
As the grotto-heaven disappeared, the demons were reduced to ashes.
Under the moonlight, Lin Jiufeng stood on top of the main gate.
It was as if nothing had happened.
The people in the Imperial Capital flocked and cheered.
They knelt before Lin Jiufeng in excitement.
Adages like surviving a calamity, escaping from the jaws of a tiger, strolling to the gates hell, all of them could be used to describe this situation.
They were excited to see that Lin Jiufeng had solved the crisis for them.
In the Forbidden City's Great Council Hall, the various court officials also heaved a sigh of relief.
As they congratulated Lin Jiufeng loudly, they also knelt in his direction.
Tonight, Lin Jiufeng saved millions of people in the Imperial Capital.
In front of the Cold Palace, Lin Tianyuan smiled with a pale face.
"We won." He sat weakly on the steps and reached out to touch his back.
He was drenched in sweat.
He didn't sleep nor rest for many days.
He spent his energy dealing with state affairs.
Then, he experienced great joy and great sorrow.
He was overjoyed that Lin Jiufeng had exterminated the demons.
But sorrowful because the army of Martial Sages that he had painstakingly built was wiped out.
Lin Tianyuan's body was already in bad shape.
At this moment, he was already at the end of his life.
"Luckily, the Yuhua God Dynasty didn't get destroyed in my hands. It's mainly because Uncle is powerful, but at least I have lived up to my ancestors."
Lin Tianyuan felt dizzy and his body went cold.
But he still stood up stubbornly.
"I want to handle one last thing." Lin Tianyuan gnashed his teeth and said firmly.
He didn't go to call Lin Jiufeng because he had personally seen Lin Jiufeng fly to the Great Yan Dynasty's army after he had eliminated the demons.
Lin Jiufeng had his own matters to handle and he ought not to disturb him.

Chapter 72: Taking What Each Other Needed Calmly
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Jiufeng disappeared from the city walls.
It was because he discovered that many people were running over, wanting to kneel down and worship him.
Most importantly, the majority of them were women.
And they all had fervent looks on their faces.
They seemed to be even crazier than those people who chased after idols in his previous life.
Lin Jiufeng could only choose to leave given the circumstances.
But he didn't return to the Cold Palace for he still had something to deal with tonight.
The Holy Maiden of the Great Yan Dynasty.
It was because of this woman that the past Lin Jiufeng was sent to prison and died back then.
Without her, the current Lin Jiufeng wouldn't be able to occupy this body.
He thought that he would never see her again in this life, but who would have thought that she would actually lead an army of 200,000 here and threaten Lin Tianyuan to let him go?
What kind of plot development was this?
Lin Jiufeng couldn't understand it.
It has been more than 30 years since they last interacted with each other.
In the beginning, she didn't think about repaying the debt of gratitude that she owed him.
But after 30 years, she suddenly remembered it?
Wasn't the time period a little too far apart?
Lin Jiufeng wasn't impressed at her attempts to free him.
He just found it absurd that this Holy Maiden was so unreliable in doing things.
Lin Jiufeng came to look for her this time because he wanted to make things clear and end this ill-fated connection between her and the previous owner of his body.
And so he paid her a visit.
He even brought the white cat along with him too.
…
A 200,000 strong army camped at the place where the Great Yan Dynasty's army was stationed.
But the 30 Human Gods were all looking at the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
The thick demonic energy, the chilling sword intent…
The grotto-heaven that blotted out the sky, and the calm and peace that followed…
All of these stunned the 30 Human Gods.
"They… they are all so powerful," Daoist Liu Yun said bitterly.
Just by looking at the battlefield with his own eyes, regardless of whether they were demons or that Human God of the Yuhua God Dynasty, they were all very powerful.
At the very least, they were stronger than them, the 30 Human Gods here.
They all thought that by breaking through to the Human God Realm, they would be at the pinnacle of the martial path.
But from the looks of it, they only reached the summit of a small hill.
"Is that senior we met last time, the one who defeated those demons?" Monk Qingyun asked.
He was a clever monk and it was easy for him to guess the answer to their questions.
Daoist Liu Yun and the Daoist Haiyu fell silent.
Back then, Lin Jiufeng had suppressed them with a flick of his finger.
But now, it seemed that he had gone easy on them.
The towering man mumbled, "How did he cultivate to become that powerful?"
Yes…
All of them wished to find the answer to this question of theirs.
They were all humans, but why was Lin Jiufeng so outstanding than them?
Lin Jiufeng was going to make things awkward for them if he was so excellent.
It felt like they were incompetent in comparison to him.
Boom!
As they were grumbling in their hearts, a beam of sword energy directly shot over.
The distance of a thousand miles disappeared in a flash.
The 30 Human Gods instantly felt the arrival of death.
All their hairs stood on end.
The sensation truly was terrifying.
They could do nothing other than to watch in horror.
But this sword energy disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.
The 30 Human Gods had no idea where it went.
The sword energy was naturally Lin Jiufeng himself.
He was only giving the 30 Human Gods a show of strength.
Lin Jiufeng saw the two Daoist priests, the young monk, and the towering man amidst this group of Human Gods.
Lin Jiufeng finally understood.
They were that same group who explored the Cold Palace last time under Miss Hong's orders.
Lin Jiufeng thought a lot about it back then.
Who was Miss Hong?
There was no answer all this time.
He had never come into contact with the so-called Miss Hong before.
But today the answer finally came.
Miss Hong was the Holy Maiden of the Great Yan Dynasty.
She was the woman released by 'Lin Jiufeng' back then.
After several decades, this Holy Maiden suddenly took the initiative to find him. Lin Jiufeng had no idea what her motives were, as a result, he took the initiative to look for her this time.
In the camp, Lin Jiufeng saw the Holy Maiden who was in the middle of checking her compass.
No one knew that he was here.
He prevented others from seeing him.
The Holy Maiden examined the compass.
The many rivers and seas of the world were depicted on this compass.
It also depicted a lot of hidden places.
The Holy Maiden was studying it carefully as she murmured…
"This shouldn't be the case. It doesn't make sense for so many demons to come into being at the same time. This is only the beginning of the world's spiritual energy recovery. How did these demons calculate the time so accurately?"
Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat and watched on calmly.
He suddenly understood that this Holy Maiden belonged to the previous era just like the demons.
This compass of hers depicted the locations of those who had sealed themselves deep underground.
"Sigh, I wonder what's the reason behind this… I can't make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm, and I also can't awaken my senior brothers and sisters. It's difficult for me to deal with them on my own…"
"My Divine Soul isn't complete either, and I have to look for that dethroned Crown Prince of the Yuhua God Dynasty for the chance of recovery." The Holy Maiden sighed continuously as she eventually bit her lips out of frustration.
"You wanted to see me?"
Lin Jiufeng's clear voice suddenly sounded as he revealed himself.
The Holy Maiden retreated a few steps in surprise as she raised her hand to defend herself.
But when she saw Lin Jiufeng's appearance, she was dumbfounded.
"You… How did you… It's been more than 30 years, but you're still so young…"
"You haven't changed at all." The Holy Maiden stuttered.
Lin Jiufeng's appearance didn't change much.
What changed the most was his temperament.
But his temperament caused subtle changes in his appearance.
However, the Holy Maiden still managed to recognize Lin Jiufeng at a single glance.
"It's the same for you. You didn't change much," Lin Jiufeng replied calmly.
The current Holy Maiden was similar to the Holy Maiden in Lin Jiufeng's memories.
Of course, her temperament also underwent a huge change.
Thirty years ago, the 'Lin Jiufeng' of this world had interacted with the Holy Maiden.
At that time, 'Lin Jiufeng' was obsessed with her. He gave up his position as the Crown Prince and also his life in exchange for the safety of this Holy Maiden.
The current Lin Jiufeng was no longer the 'Lin Jiufeng' of the past.
He had no designs nor feelings for this Holy Maiden at all.
"Your cultivation base…" The Holy Maiden sized up Lin Jiufeng.
Suddenly, she covered her mouth in surprise as her pupils dilated.
"You are the one who defeated the demons in the Imperial Capital?"
The Holy Maiden asked in shock.
"Yes. So, you've sent people to find me twice. What exactly do you want?" Lin Jiufeng asked.
"This…"
"Didn't you save my life?"
"I heard that you were imprisoned in the Cold Palace all this while and that is why I wanted to save you. I wanted to give you the Great Yan Dynasty's throne. Back then, I am the reason why you lost the throne of the Yuhua God Dynasty. Now, I am giving you what you've lost."
"I hope that you can forgive me for taking so long…"
The Holy Maiden took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart.
"You are being insincere. You are only thinking of repaying the debt of gratitude that you owe me for the sake of your Divine Soul's completion."
Lin Jiufeng decisively pointed out the Holy Maiden's lie.
The Holy Maiden blinked in embarrassment.
"Before you discovered the flaw in your divine soul, you probably couldn't even remember me at all. That's why you've made such a big fuss. You're feeling guilty and you want to cover it up. All of these are nothing but for yourself, you don't have to put me on a pedestal."
Lin Jiufeng pointed out the Holy Maiden's thoughts.
"I'm sorry." The Holy Maiden apologized pitifully.
"There's no need for that. Bring your army and go back. Don't alarm the common people." Lin Jiufeng rejected coldly.
"What should I do for you to forgive me? Give me a chance, my Divine Soul really has to be completed." The Holy Maiden begged Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng thought about it rationally and asked, "Are you from the previous era?"
The Holy Maiden nodded and said, "I was born at the end of the last era."
"All right…"
"Then, prepare every book and every information that you have of the previous era that you know. They must be very detailed. Have Monk Qingyun deliver them to the doors of the Imperial Capital's Cold Palace…"
"After I've received them, I will definitely forgive your long abandonment of me in my heart." Lin Jiufeng made a request.
"No problem, I will have them prepared for you."
The Holy Maiden's spirits were lifted as she smiled and agreed.
Lin Jiufeng turned around coldly as he left directly.
The Holy Maiden incident was caused by this world's 'Lin Jiufeng'.
After 'Lin Jiufeng' died in prison, he was already gone.
The Lin Jiufeng who transmigrated here had never interacted with this Holy Maiden before.
This was why it would be good for both sides if he handled this matter properly.
Lin Jiufeng got what he wanted.
The Holy Maiden obtained his forgiveness.
The common people were also spared from a full-blown war.
Both Lin Jiufeng and the Holy Maiden were satisfied.
They each took what they needed.
Throughout the entire process, only the white cat was confused by the whole process.

Chapter 73: Death of the Emperor
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From the moment he appeared in the camp until the end of the negotiation, the entire process only took less than three minutes.
The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng, dumbfounded.
"The two of you came to an agreement so easily?"
The delicate and vengeful white cat expressed its confusion.
"Of course, her true intention isn't really just to repay her debt of gratitude to me. Otherwise, she could've done it during the first few years after I was banished to the Cold Palace."
"But she didn't…"
"She only remembered my existence and the debt of gratitude that she owes me when she found out that her Divine Soul was incomplete."
"Her repayment was, in essence, a way to solve her own problem. It's not a way for her to express her gratitude to me, sincerely. "
"She's a very selfish person. I can't be bothered to get angry at her because it's simply not worth it."
"After this, her problem will be solved and I'll have even more information about the previous era. My connection with her will also come to an end."
"Isn't this a win-win situation?"
Lin Jiufeng rubbed the white cat and explained.
"How can you remain so calm? You've discovered that the other party has other intentions for repaying her debt of gratitude, but you are not angry at all. Instead, you managed to maintain your rationality to the point that you even gained benefits for yourself."
The white cat was seriously impressed.
"That is why you have to be careful. I might abandon you and remain calm about it in the future."
Lin Jiufeng teased.
Meow!
The white cat scratched Lin Jiufeng's shoulder in anger.
Of course, he remained unscathed.
Instead, it was the white cat whose claws felt pained.
The angry white cat proceeded to turn her head and ignore Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng looked at her charmingly naive appearance.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lin Jiufeng's mood turned for the better.
As expected, the happiness of keeping a cat was something that cat-less people just couldn't understand.
…
Lin Jiufeng quickly returned to the Imperial Capital.
At this moment, the Imperial Capital was already under curfew.
There was no one walking around on the streets.
Lin Jiufeng walked to the door of the Cold Palace with the white cat.
He was about to enter when suddenly…
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
In the Forbidden City, a bell rang nine times in a row.
Lin Jiufeng's eyes narrowed as he slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the Empress' Palace.
More than ten years ago, Lin Jiufeng once heard the toll of this bell.
It announced Emperor Yuan's death.
Now that the bell had sounded once again, what did it represent?
Lin Jiufeng's heart trembled.
Although he was a very rational person and could calm throughout any situation.
He also still had his own feelings.
Did Lin Tianyuan, the child whom he watched grow up, died?
The white cat looked over in shock.
She jumped off Lin Jiufeng's body and said, "You should go take and take a look."
Lin Jiufeng's body flashed. He disappeared in an instant.
…
Forbidden City, Empress' Palace…
At this moment, everyone was sobbing and wailing.
Originally, the entire Imperial Capital was cheering after Lin Jiufeng exterminated the demons.
But no one expected that when Lin Tianyuan returned to the Imperial Capital, he would be drenched in sweat.
He returned in a state so weak that he couldn't even speak.
The eunuchs discovered him and they were about to send him to the imperial physicians to treat.
But Lin Tianyuan rejected it.
He was then carried to the Empress' residence.
Afterwards, he summoned the court officials and the Crown Prince to pass on the throne to him.
At the end of his life, he asked the Empress to come close and he whispered in her ear.
"Don't tell the Crown Prince about Uncle…"
"Let him feel pressured, so he can grow up on his own."
"Treat this matter as your greatest trump card and it will protect you well. I wrote a letter to Uncle. After I die, Uncle will definitely come to send me off. Pass the letter to Uncle by then."
Lin Tianyuan used all that he had left to say these last words before passing away.
In his life, he hated arranged marriages the most.
He married a wife whom he didn't like.
He once wanted to abolish the Empress for a concubine.
But now, the place he chose to die at was in the Empress' bed.
He chose to pass away with her on his side.
Lin Tianyuan was a very complicated individual.
In the end, he had probably fallen in love with the Empress.
Thus, he left his greatest trump card to her.
He didn't pass it on to the Crown Prince because he didn't want to see the Crown Prince become as conceited as he was back then.
He didn't want the latter to think that just because he had a powerful trump card—he had the right to become arrogant.
…
When Lin Jiufeng arrived, everyone was wailing non-stop.
Especially the Cabinet Chief…
Counting this next generation, he has continuously served the imperial court for four generations.
Three emperors had already passed away, but he was still here.
And he would also be assisting the Crown Prince, the soon-to-be emperor.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the silent corpse in the Empress' Palace.
There was definitely sadness in his heart, but it wasn't to that extent he had felt when Emperor Yuan died.
"I told you to rest well." Lin Jiufeng came to Lin Tianyuan's corpse and sighed.
Last month, Lin Tianyuan insisted on dealing with state affairs.
It was also during that month that he depleted the rest of his life force.
To Lin Jiufeng, the servants running around didn't affect him at all.
They couldn't discover Lin Jiufeng, and Lin Jiufeng didn't want to be discovered by them either.
After paying his respects to Lin Tianyuan, Lin Jiufeng found the Empress.
Now, only the Empress knew his true appearance throughout the entire Yuhua God Dynasty.
Hence, Lin Jiufeng sent a voice transmission to her and told her to come to the side hall without alerting the others.
"Uncle!" In the side hall, the Empress bowed with teary eyes.
"When Emperor Ming passed away, did he leave any last words?" Lin Jiufeng asked.
"He wrote this letter to Uncle."
The Empress respectfully took out the letter and handed it to Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng opened it.
There were some heartfelt words in the letter, as well as a request for Lin Jiufeng to take care of the Queen and the Crown Prince.
An orphan and a widow.
In this world, ruling a huge dynasty would definitely pose many problems for them.
This was why Emperor Ming, Lin Tianyuan, beseeched Lin Jiufeng to help them.
"If there's any problem in the future, come to the Cold Palace and look for me. Also, teach the Crown Prince well. Don't feel too burdened. I will still be supporting you both from behind," Lin Jiufeng said solemnly.
"Thank you, Uncle," The Empress gratefully said.
She was about to kneel down when Lin Jiufeng's figure blurred and disappeared.
Seeing this, she stopped what she was doing and went ahead to deal with Lin Tianyuan's funeral.
…
Cold Palace…
Lin Jiufeng returned to the Cold Palace, his expression looked somewhat somber.
He looked at the cherry tree where the flowers had wilted.
Then, he personally planted another cherry tree at the side.
Afterwards, the sad Lin Jiufeng directly went to the underground palace and opened up the seal of the demon's den beneath the copper coffin.
"Why is it still you?"
The demons in the demon's den were expecting someone of their own kind to open up the seal for them to escape. But when they saw Lin Jiufeng, all of them had a nervous breakdown, they couldn't believe their eyes.
The demons had even surrounded the Imperial Capital, but Lin Jiufeng was still alive?
What kind of existence was this Lin Jiufeng? Was he an Immortal?
Lin Jiufeng's face turned slightly cold.
For the first time since he first entered the demon's den, he felt infuriated. With the Demon Slaying Sword in hand, he pointed at the group of demons and said, "It was you lot who caused the demons outside to come into being and besiege the Imperial Capital, right?"
The demons were shocked and angered by Lin Jiufeng's action of pointing at them with a sword.
"What are you trying to do?" Skyfiend shouted angrily.
He was in a bad mood right now.
Why did the scheme that he had meticulously planned, fail?
"I want to kill you!"
But Lin Jiufeng's mood was even worse.
He didn't want to talk nonsense at all.
He lifted the Demon Slaying Sword and moved to kill.
The Demon Slaying Sword paired with Lin Jiufeng's strength and his Divine Grade Grotto-heaven allowed Lin Jiufeng to easily kill Skyfiend.
That's right…
One of the founders of this demon's den, Skyfiend, whose cultivation base was unfathomable in the previous era, died under the Demon Slaying Sword.
The other demons trembled upon seeing this scene.
After killing Skyfiend, Lin Jiufeng vented the anger in his heart and left the demon's den.
"Sign in," Lin Jiufeng said.
[Sign-In successful. Received one Grotto-Heaven Analysis Book!]
Lin Jiufeng received the book and realized that it was an analysis of how to cultivate in the Grotto-Heaven Realm and how to improve his cultivation within the realm.
"Not bad, it suits me very well." Lin Jiufeng sealed the demon's den and left.

Chapter 74: Zenith Heaven Path
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On this day, the people in the Imperial Capital wailed…
The court officials carried Lin Tianyuan's coffin and sent him into his final destination—the Imperial Cemetery.
Lin Tianyuan and Emperor Yuan weren't buried too far away.
After all, they were father and son that shared the same roots.
Lin Jiufeng didn't attend his funeral, however, he watched from a distance as Lin Tianyuan was buried beside Emperor Yuan.
The surroundings were filled with sorrow, tears, and the tolling of bells.
The atmosphere truly was depressing.
Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but take out the Fate Changing Technique that he received from signing in.
"I need to study this cultivation technique carefully and then become even stronger. When I have the chance in the future, I will change both of your fates," Lin Jiufeng said firmly.
He returned to the Cold Palace.
Now that everything was settled, he didn't want to stay in the Imperial Cemetery any longer.
Returning to the Cold Palace to continue his goal of becoming even stronger was what Lin Jiufeng should do.
As for the changes in the new dynasty, Lin Jiufeng didn't care about it at all.
He had no feelings for the Crown Prince. If he were to encounter trouble in the future, it would be the Empress who would come and ask for his hand in help.
…
When Lin Jiufeng returned to the Cold Palace, he encountered Monk Qingyun.
Monk Qingyun brought with him various information about the previous era that the Holy Maiden had agreed to give to Lin Jiufeng.
As well as a bunch of books…
The Holy Maiden probably knew that Lin Jiufeng wasn't easy to deceive, so she prepared all of these with diligence to obtain his true forgiveness.
Lin Jiufeng put away the books, then he drove Monk Qingyun away.
"Tell your Holy Maiden that the grudges between us are written off," Lin Jiufeng told the monk.
"Thank you, Benefactor." The monk thanked him.
He didn't want to stay for a moment longer, so he turned around and left.
Lin Jiufeng returned to the Cold Palace with a large pile of books.
Then, he browsed through them with the white cat.
What was the difference between the previous era and this era?
Lin Jiufeng didn't understand much in the past, but after reading these books, he finally understood their differences.
The world also had its own ups and downs.
The common people wouldn't be able to see these ups and downs, but they would be able to experience them through the changes in the world's spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy in each era would continue to improve.
When it reached its peak and lasted for a period of time, it would decline.
Upon reaching its peak, it would stay there for a long period of time.
Afterwards, it would go into a decline.
As the world's spiritual energy declined in quality and quantity, the powerhouses of the world would also slowly disappear.
Some of them would die, some would seal themselves, their choices varied.
The end of the previous era was 1,500 years ago.
At that time, Human God Realm cultivators were the strongest.
People like the Demon Lord were also affected by the decline of the world's spiritual energy.
If not for this, then he would've been able to make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm and into other higher realms.
The spiritual energy in the world continued its decline, hundreds of years ago, even Martial Sages disappeared. Only Great Grandmasters remained.
It was only after Lin Jiufeng arrived in this world that the world's spiritual energy started its slow recovery.
Its recovery signaled the start of a new era.
Lin Jiufeng was fortunate to advance by leaps and bounds in his cultivation right at the start of the new era. Right now, he stood at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
All of this was the result of luck, and ample opportunities combined.
"According to this book, the Grotto-heaven Realm requires one to form ten grotto-heavens. How many have you formed by now?" The white cat asked curiously.
"One," Lin Jiufeng replied.
"Then, you still have to condense nine grotto-heavens," the white cat said.
"No, I'm not forming another nine grotto-heavens." Lin Jiufeng shook his head.
"Why?" The white cat asked curiously.
"The Grotto-Heaven Realm allows one to form ten grotto-heavens. When stacked together, their combined might will surely be powerful."
"But there is more than one path on the Grotto-Heaven Realm. There are many choices."
"I am planning to cultivate a single grotto-heaven. Then, I will use the remaining nine chances to improve this single grotto-heaven. I'm sure that at the end of this road, this lone grotto-heaven will become tremendously powerful…"
"This path is also the most suitable for me." Lin Jiufeng explained.
He originally wanted to form ten grotto-heavens, but after reading the Grotto-Heaven Analysis Book that he obtained from signing in, he realized that he had understood a lot of things.
Grotto-heavens were divided into Low Grade, Middle Grade, High Grade, Saint Grade, and Divine Grade.
The method to form ten grotto-heavens was only suitable for cultivators with low to high grade grotto-heavens.
This was because their grotto-heavens didn't have much potential, the benefits of expanding them were far less than forming ten grotto-heavens.
But there was no need to form ten grotto-heavens for those that had saint and divine grade grotto-heavens.
They just had to focus on developing that single saint or divine grade grotto-heaven.
Then, when that grotto-heaven became a small, independent world.
It would truly become powerful.
This was the path that Lin Jiufeng ultimately chose.
The white cat listened to Lin Jiufeng talk about a lot of things, but she couldn't fully understand it.
She was only at the Human God Realm, a realm that was quite distant from the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
"Read these books properly and increase your knowledge. They will definitely be useful for cultivation." Lin Jiufeng gently stroked the white cat's soft body.
…
Five years passed in a flash.
In the past five years, Lin Jiufeng had never left the Cold Palace. Other than Dachun coming over once a month to the Cold Palace, no one else visited him.
Lin Jiufeng had no idea about the changes nor the dangers of the outside world.
What he only knew was what he heard from Dachun.
Lin Jiufeng ignored everything else.
He slowly improved and expanded his grotto-heaven.
He didn't even want to know about the matters regarding the Yuhua God Dynasty.
He only knew that the current Crown Prince ascended to the throne and changed the dynasty title to De. His title was Emperor De.
Other than that, Lin Jiufeng didn't know anything else.
He signed in quietly in the Cold Palace and visited the demon's den in the underground palace every day to defeat a demon or a Demon God.
Ever since these demons and Demon Gods saw Lin Jiufeng kill Skyfiend with brute force during that time when he was in a bad mood…
They became very obedient.
Every day, a new demon or a Demon God would automatically come out to get beaten up by Lin Jiufeng. After he was done with them, the demons would then be able to live their lives peacefully in the demon's den.
After five years, the only opinion that these demons had towards Lin Jiufeng was—he was too terrifying.
Every Demon God that fought with Lin Jiufeng said that Lin Jiufeng was becoming more and more unfathomable. He was now akin to that of a boundless ocean, bottomless.
Therefore, they became as obedient as little chicks.
They seemed to have become like animals being raised by Lin Jiufeng.
As long as they didn't cause trouble, Lin Jiufeng wouldn't bother to kill them.
Today was the day Dachun would deliver food again.
Once a month, Dachun insisted on coming over personally.
The current Dachun was already 50 years old.
His child was already married and he was even a grandpa by now.
But he was still that honest young man from back then, he didn't change at all.
He brought food and wine as usual and continued to tell Lin Jiufeng about what happened in the Imperial Capital.
Lin Jiufeng was enjoying the meal with the white cat while listening to Dachun.
"Your Royal Highness, just yesterday…"
"Emperor De formally became a disciple to a master and he conferred him the title of State Teacher," Dachun said.
"What kind of person can become the State Teacher?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
All these years, the Yuhua God Dynasty remained peaceful and quiet.
It was because everyone knew that five years ago, on the night of Emperor Ming's death, a horde of demons surrounded the Yuhua God Dynasty's Imperial Capital. But they were all turned into ashes by the dynasty's guardian god.
Now…
Everyone knew that there was an old monster that had been guarding the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty since Emperor Yuan's time, then Emperor Ming's time, and then to Emperor De's time.
If they wanted to provoke the Yuhua God Dynasty, they had to defeat this old monster first.
These were the words that were still being passed down in the martial world.
Lin Jiufeng had heard Dachun mention the possibility of Emperor De taking in a master before.
Hence, his curiosity was piqued.
To be able to become the Yuhua God Dynasty's State Teacher, what capabilities did this person have?
"I'm not sure what kind of person he is either…"
"I only heard from others that he's the Sect Leader of a Hidden Sect. I think the name of this sect is something called Zenith Heaven Path Sect," Dachun said.
"Zenith Heaven Path!" Lin Jiufeng's eyes narrowed.
He immediately remembered that this sect was recorded in the books that the Holy Maiden gave him.
The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng solemnly.
She had also read that book before.

Chapter 75: I Am Not Strong
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The books from the previous era sent by the Holy Maiden described the Zenith Heaven Path Sect as a very powerful sect in the days of yore.
'At its peak, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect had three Celestial Venerables, seven Heavenly Kings, and nine Supremacies. They were a force that couldn't be ignored among the myriads of sects. They were powerful…'
Lin Jiufeng recalled the contents of one of the books that depicted the Zenith Heaven Path Sect in its entries.
The strength of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect became apparent from the emotions of the author when he was writing his entries in the book. His penmanship revealed that he was also apprehensive about writing the terrifying parts of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.
The Holy Maiden of the Great Yan Dynasty was a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. There were many records about the sects of the past from the books in her sect. According to one of the books she had given to Lin Jiufeng, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect also went into hiding.
They sealed the entrance of their sect and not any member had come out ever since.
However, they seem to have knowledge in regards to the cycle of the world's spiritual energy.
They seemed to know when the world's spiritual energy would weaken and recover.
Therefore, it was also written in the book that the Zenith Heaven Path Sect was one of the few major sects of the previous era that had the capabilities to assess the situation of the world. In addition, their foundation was also incomparably deep.
They had apparently existed for an unknown amount of era since recorded history.
The evaluation of the book's author about the Zenith Heaven Path Sect was extremely high.
In these five years, Lin Jiufeng had read through all the books given to him by the Holy Maiden.
He had read through too many entries that described a number of powerful sects that became invincible at the peak of the world's spiritual energy recovery. But since the reason for their rise was riding the coattails of the world's spiritual energy, its decline also signaled their decline.
Eventually, they disappeared.
As the saying went, one could only see who was swimming naked when the waves receded.
The Zenith Heaven Path Sect was such a sect.
Their sudden appearance into the world and their act of taking in Emperor De as their disciple as well as one of them becoming the State Teacher of the Yuhua God Dynasty…
All of these felt off to Lin Jiufeng.
'Isn't the Holy Maiden a member of the Heavenly Dao Sect?'
'Hasn't she always been working hard to suppress these sects from the previous era? Why did she let the Zenith Heaven Path Sect come out?'
'Could it be that she wasn't strong enough to suppress the Zenith Heaven Path Sect?'
'Or is there another reason behind it?'
Lin Jiu pondered over this matter.
'Was the Zenith Heaven Path here with good or evil intentions?'
Lin Jiufeng had no idea.
The key was that the former Empress, the now Empress Dowager, didn't come to ask Lin Jiufeng for help.
That at least meant that she agreed with letting the Zenith Heaven Path Sect meddle with the affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
After all, the new emperor ascended to the throne when he was just 13 years old.
Five years had passed and he was only 18 years old this year.
His young age meant that the Empress Dowager was still in charge of the state affairs.
Lin Jiufeng drank his wine silently as he listened to Dachun's words.
"Your Royal Highness, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect is quite powerful…"
"In the past, there was a rebellion from the Barbarians in the Southwest Territory. By relying on their powerful Priests, they constantly harassed our borders. Our God Dynasty lacked the manpower and couldn't get rid of them all at once…"
"But once the people from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect took action, they directly slaughtered their way into the territory of the Barbarians."
"They killed several Priests and forced them to compensate and apologize before submitting a plea of surrender." Dachun explained excitedly.
This move by the Zenith Heaven Path Sect saved a lot of face for the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Their kind actions also made the Yuhua God Dynasty lower their guard against them.
Lin Jiufeng savored the ins and outs of this matter. He couldn't help but sigh at how clever the Zenith Heaven Path Sect was. They made use of external enemies to allow themselves to naturally enter the higher-ups of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Other sects or demonic sects all wanted to stir up trouble in this new era. Especially when they saw that the Yuhua God Dynasty was still the number one divine dynasty in the world, they naturally wanted to overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty to show off their might.
But the Zenith Heaven Path Sect was different. They took the initiative to integrate into the Yuhua God Dynasty and then taught the new Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty through the identity of the State Teacher.
Effortlessly blending into the new era without any sense of discord nor stirring up trouble.
Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but think of the demon's den beneath the Cold Palace.
Although the group of demons from that demon's den were powerful in the previous era, their brains were clearly not as advanced as the people from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.
"Your Royal Highness, after the sect leader of the Zenith Heaven Path became the State Teacher, they announced that they would establish a sect on a mountain, north of the Imperial Capital and that they wouldn't participate in the state affairs."
Dachun continued to talk about other things.
He also felt that the Zenith Heaven Path Sect's presence was advantageous for the Yuhua God Dynasty.
At the very least, the Yuhua God Dynasty now had the support of an extremely powerful force.
Lin Jiufeng felt that he should continue to observe the situation.
He neither supported nor objected. In any case, as long as they didn't disturb his quiet life and didn't bring trouble to the Yuhua God Dynasty…
Whatever the Zenith Heaven Path Sect did had nothing to do with him.
Even if the Zenith Heaven Path wanted to use the Yuhua God Dynasty to seek benefits in this era, it didn't bother him at all.
After all, if they borrowed the Yuhua God Dynasty's power, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect would also have to share the burdens of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
"Perhaps I won't have to interfere with those troublesome matters in the future. The Zenith Heaven Path Sect can be my helper by proxy." Lin Jiufeng felt quite satisfied thinking about this.
After Lin Jiufeng was done with the meal, Dachun packed the utensils and left.
His body had obviously gained weight. He was younger than Lin Jiufeng by a few years and was only in his early fifties. His cultivation base had reached the Martial Sage Realm, so his body and appearance were quite well maintained.
Dachun had obviously gained weight.
He was younger than Lin Jiufeng by a few years and he was only in his early fifties. He was also a Martial Sage Realm cultivator, so his body and appearance were quite well-maintained. But he had obviously lived in comfort for a long time, as a result, his body was slowly getting plump.
Dachun had no other pursuits in life.
His cultivation base was slowly improving and if he was lucky enough to make a breakthrough into the Human God Realm, he would be able to live for another few hundred years.
Even if he couldn't make a breakthrough, he wouldn't be too sad about it.
Dachun's mentality was solid.
He was in charge of the logistics of the Imperial Guards.
This was a good job for him.
He also had a wife now, a son, and a grandson.
His life was happy and fulfilling.
Moreover, he could be considered to be a citizen that had gone through four dynasties.
At the very least, his position in the Yuhua God Dynasty was stable and firm.
Lin Jiufeng looked at Dachun's departing figure and sighed.
Everyone had different pursuits in life, so their definition of happiness varied…
'I'll just continue to sign in.'
Lin Jiufeng shook his head and returned to the Cold Palace to do his usual routine.
"Meow…"
"I haven't seen you in a fight in the past five years. Just how exactly powerful are you by now?"
The white cat asked curiously.
After five years, her fur had become increasingly crystal clear.
Her nose had turned pink and her eyes seemed to contain a sky full of stars.
The fact that a cat could be so good-looking truly exceeded Lin Jiufeng's expectations.
Lin Jiufeng reached out and carried the white cat into his arms.
Her soft body felt as if she didn't have any bones, and her fur still felt good to the touch.
"I'm not powerful," Lin Jiufeng replied to the white cat.
The white cat refused to believe Lin Jiufeng's nonsense.
She tried to struggle out of his arms.
In the earlier years, she wouldn't even let Lin Jiufeng hug her, let alone letting him caress her soft body.
But after the first hug, the second hug, and the third…
She got used to it.
The key was that she was unable to resist Lin Jiufeng anyway.
When Lin Jiufeng opened his hand, she would be pulled into his embrace.
As the saying goes, if one couldn't resist, then just make do with it.
But if Lin Jiufeng angered her, she would definitely not let him hug her.
Sensing that the white cat was about to slip away, Lin Jiufeng calmed it down.
"I'm telling the truth. I'm not powerful."
After reading so many books from the previous era, the more Lin Jiufeng understood about the higher cultivation realms, the more he felt that he was very weak.
This sense of weakness was comparable to the sense of weakness that the people from the previous era felt in this brand new world.
"You're lying to me again!"
The white cat accused Lin Jiufeng. Her sharp white teeth were about to pierce through Lin Jiufeng's body, but when her teeth touched the skin on Lin Jiufeng's wrist, she couldn't bear to really bite it down.
She just placed her teeth on Lin Jiufeng's wrist and pretended to be fierce to threaten him.
Lin Jiufeng chuckled.
Looking at her stupid, cute, and fierce appearance…
He replied gently, "I am not strong, but the people in this world seem to be…"
"Seems to be weaker than me."

Chapter 76: The Destroyed Dream
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
I am not strong.
But the people in this world seem to be weaker than me.
The white cat was rendered speechless.
"Those people outside will definitely be angered to death if they heard what you've said," the white cat muttered. She stretched out her pink tongue and licked Lin Jiufeng's wrist.
Then, she let Lin Jiufeng stroke her as he wanted.
After interacting with Lin Jiufeng for almost 10 years, their relationship had long become deep.
Now that Lin Jiufeng had become so powerful, the white cat seemed to be proud of him.
Lin Jiufeng carried the white cat and returned to the courtyard.
Two cherry trees, one big and one small were budding and extending their branches.
They were about to blossom.
The cherry tree that he planted when Emperor Ming passed away had also grown up.
Lin Jiufeng was often in seclusion, so he couldn't feel the passing of time.
Only when he saw the two cherry trees did he realize that such a long time had already passed so fast.
He was now about 60 years old.
He had been silently signing in within the confines of the Cold Palace for almost 40 years now.
'The world is too complicated. I'll just continue signing in here. At the very least, I have to defeat every demon in the demon's den underneath and squeeze out as much of their value as I can…'
Lin Jiufeng was patient.
After putting down the white cat, he turned around and went to the underground palace.
The demons and Demon Gods in the demon's den had tried to resist back then.
But facing Lin Jiufeng's cultivation base, no one could withstand him.
Especially in the past five years, Lin Jiufeng had become increasingly unfathomable.
In the demon's den, deep underground…
More than 3000 once infamous demons, Demon Kings, and Demon Gods were gathered.
This demon den only had a single exit.
After all, it was created to prevent the dissipation of the abundant spiritual energy inside and to prevent the declining spiritual energy of the world from entering and contaminating the demon's den.
Therefore, the seal must be tight.
They also had to minimize the risk of others discovering and breaking the seal prematurely.
Only then could they continue to exist for a long time.
This idea was unanimously agreed upon by everyone back then.
But now, the plan that had prolonged their lives for so long was also the reason why they were unable to get out and remained trapped in the demon's den.
The 3000 plus demons had arranged coffins for themselves, some placed themselves in a pocket of space, floating freely in the air. Some directly dug holes and buried themselves in them.
They hibernated in different ways, but now they all had something in common.
It was because they were all awake.
Everyone looked at each other.
In the previous era, they were powerful demons, high-spirited Demon Kings, and formidable Demon Gods who ruled over their own regions.
But in this era, they were like the elderly in the villages. They only sat and idled around, doing nothing every day. They chatted about their glorious pasts, lamenting the passing of time and the emergence of new talents in this new era.
"How did things come to this?" Suddenly, a Demon King covered his face and sighed.
No matter how much hatred and anger they had towards Lin Jiufeng, they all vanished under his fist.
Now, all that was left in them was sadness and melancholy.
This particular Demon King was incredibly depressed about this.
It was the kind of feeling that made him wish that he could cut open his own head with a knife and ask himself if the donkeys had gone into his head when he designed this demon's den back then.
If he had created another exit, the 3,000 plus demons in here right now wouldn't have to obey Lin Jiufeng's wishes.
The other Demon Kings fell silent.
"That human is becoming stronger and stronger. If we had counterattacked all at once at the start, we could've had a chance," A Demon God said with regret.
"That's right…"
"That human has humiliated us for more than five years now, but we don't even know his name after so long. What a disgrace." A demon gnashed his teeth in anger.
But what came after his anger was disappointment.
"He wouldn't humiliate us like this for the rest of our lives, would he?" Suddenly, a Demon King blurted out.
The others stiffened.
This time, no one could sit still.
Being humiliated was a fact, they accepted it.
They had to accept it.
They had no choice but to accept it.
But they would rather die than submit to this kind of humiliation for the rest of their lives.
Every demon…
Every Demon King…
And every Demon God in this demon's den had their own dignity.
"I can feel that he is becoming stronger and stronger. When he came over yesterday, I attacked him, but he defeated me with a single flick of his finger," A Demon God said with lingering fear.
"Fighting him is like fighting against a celestial. It's too terrifying." The Demon God's heart trembled as he recalled.
Demons were also living things.
It was just that some of them were exotic, but all of them were fundamentally afraid of the strong, especially those like Lin Jiufeng whose strength was unfathomable to them.
As long as they had no idea just how exactly strong he was, they would always find it difficult to fight him with all of their strength.
Because no matter how powerful they were—they would still be easily defeated by Lin Jiufeng.
"He's probably about to come today. I'll go and give it a try." A Demon King stood up.
He had never fought with Lin Jiufeng before, but the people who fought with Lin Jiufeng would always come down and reenact their fight.
As a result, he was prepared and knew what to expect.
"This time, even if I have to use the last vestiges of spiritual energy in my body, I have to test his bottom line." The Demon King gnashed his teeth.
Everyone looked at this Demon King as if they were looking at a brave warrior.
Dong, dong, dong!
Footsteps sounded from above the demon's den.
The 3,000 demons, Demon Kings, and Demon Gods below all raised their heads in unison.
Lin Jiufeng was here!
"Who is it today?" Lin Jiufeng opened the seal and asked.
It was just like how an emperor would visit his imperial concubine by flipping the card.
Every day when Lin Jiufeng came over, he would 'visit' a Demon King or a Demon God.
At the very least, his opponent would be a demon.
The 3,000 plus famous demons in the demon's den looked at the Demon King who had volunteered.
There was encouragement in their eyes.
The Demon King who volunteered gritted his teeth.
He roared angrily and displayed his ultimate technique.
In his weakened state, he did his best to display the demonic path's highest martial technique, the Burning Heaven Demon Technique!
The power he displayed was definitely very powerful even amongst the average Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivators.
This Demon King's entire body exploded into an inferno of flames as he flew up.
The flames that he carried with him seemed to be able to burn everything under the heavens.
The flames were black with a hint of red.
They were special flames in the demonic path that could easily burn weapons, treasures, and the like.
The 3,000 plus demons watched with anticipation in their eyes.
The Demon King had displayed a might comparable to a fifth or sixth-level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert.
Would this human who had been continuously torturing them be able to resist?
If he couldn't withstand it, they would be able to break the seal and escape.
This was the dream that the 3,000 plus demonic beings wanted to see the most.
But in the end, a dream was just a dream.
Lin Jiufeng watched as the charging Demon King transformed into a ball of flames.
The raging flame was a threat, even to him.
Lin Jiufeng also saw the anticipation within the eyes of the 3,000 plus demons down below.
Regarding this, Lin Jiufeng remained languid.
He directly stretched out his palm.
Demon Suppression Record!
A huge talisman that emanated a terrifying aura manifested.
It directly pressed down.
Boom!
This slap landed on the Demon King's body.
The raging flames on his body became akin to that of a crazed firecracker as they exploded in every direction possible. The Demon King let out a tragic cry as his body flew straight down, back into the abyss, and crashing against the floor of the demon's den.
The 3,000 plus demons were all dumbfounded.
"He's even stronger now," a Demon King murmured.
"It's over, it's all over." Some even closed their eyes, tears flowed down their cheeks silently.
A man does not easily shed tears.
Except, when something truly depressing had happened or was happening.
Sometimes, dreams were so fragile that they were like the reflection of the moon in the well…
One could only look at it but never reach it.

Chapter 77: Sect Leader Luo Yu
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After defeating a Demon King with one palm, Lin Jiufeng nodded in satisfaction.
He sealed the only exit without bothering to look at the sorrowful expressions of the demons below him.
"Sign in!" Lin Jiufeng said.
[Sign-In successful. Received one Void Sword Case]
A sword case suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng's eyes.
It was entirely black with mysterious patterns carved on it, making it look very cool.
[Void Sword Case: It can accommodate countless swords. It can also nurture the swords inside of it. Thus, improving their grade and quality!]
Lin Jiufeng looked at the sword case.
His eyes lit up.
The function it had was just too powerful and convenient.
After all, he had a lot of treasured swords.
The Demon Slaying Sword and the bone swords.
Especially the bone swords…
There were a total of 365 of them, and they were all stored within Lin Jiufeng's dantian, slowly being nurtured by his cultivation base.
But this method of nurturing them would definitely not be as fast as nurturing them in a proper sword case.
Not only could the sword case repair the damage done to the swords in it, but it could also improve the quality of the swords. Over time, the power of the swords stashed within it would also be increased.
It was akin to killing several birds with one stone!
This was a good thing.
Lin Jiufeng decisively took out the 365 bone swords and placed them into the sword case along with the Demon Slaying Sword.
The space within the sword case was vast, and it could hold countless swords.
Lin Jiufeng's treasured swords didn't take up that much space inside.
The sword case still looked the same, as if a bunch of swords wasn't just inserted into it.
Its weight also remained the same, one could carry it on one's back…
Hold it in one's hands, or store it in one's dantian.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the sword case. He planned to fill the entire space of the sword case with swords in the future. When he needed them, he would just directly summon tens of thousands of swords out of nowhere. It would definitely be a sight to behold.
"The reward from signing in this time is quite good. I hope I can get enough treasured swords from signing in the future." Lin Jiufeng walked out of the underground palace in a good mood.
Then, he continued to quietly ponder about the Great Dao of the world in the Cold Palace.
He still had a lot of room for improvement.
…
In the Yuhua God Dynasty, Emperor De had always received education, wisdom, and knowledge from the court officials in the past five years. At the age of 18, he was already married. This marriage was arranged by the Empress Dowager.
His wife was a gentle and understanding woman who could surely manage a family.
But most importantly, she was a woman that Emperor De liked.
The Empress Dowager knew the consequences of forcing the Emperor to marry a woman he didn't like.
She had experienced it back then.
If it weren't for the fact that she had given Lin Tianyuan love and Lin Jiufeng had taught him a lesson, she might not have become the Empress Dowager of today's dynasty.
Hence, she gave Emperor De the right to make his own choice.
Within a certain range, she allowed him to choose his own Empress.
After their marriage, the Empress Dowager gradually relinquished her power and let the Emperor continue to learn from the court officials on how to be a proper emperor.
But Emperor De was more interested in cultivating and becoming stronger to reach the summit of the martial path than being a good emperor.
Under a stroke of luck, Emperor De encountered the Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. He became the disciple of this Sect Leader and he earnestly learned from him how to cultivate.
The Zenith Heaven Path Sect also taught Emperor De with great care.
The Sect Leader personally gave him pointers.
Emperor De advanced by leaps and bounds and became full of confidence in himself.
Emperor De believed that he was a genius in this era.
Because of Emperor De, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect gained a stable foothold in the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Of course, other than teaching Emperor De, the rest of their positions were just empty titles.
The court officials allowed them to enter the Yuhua God Dynasty's Imperial Court.
But they didn't allow the Zenith Heaven Path Sect to control the state affairs.
The Empress Dowager had the same idea.
She wouldn't allow it either.
Hence, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect could only build a sect outside the Imperial Capital.
There, they started to settle down.
Today, Emperor De journeyed into the Zenith Heaven Path Sect to study with his Teacher, Sect Leader Luo Yu. He was there to learn how to make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm.
The 18-year-old Emperor De was already about to make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm. But this was all due to the vast and bountiful resources that he had access to.
Combined with his own talent, the resources of the Yuhua God Dynasty, and Sect Leader Luo Yu's guidance. It would be strange if he couldn't cultivate this fast.
"Your Majesty. What you only have to do right now is to adjust your body so you can reach its peak state. At the same time, you have to keep a tight seal on your vital energy so that it wouldn't leak out. Only if these conditions are satisfied can you make a breakthrough."
Sect Master Luo Yu gave his advice.
Emperor De was a handsome young man who inherited the genes of both Emperor Ming and Emperor Yuan.
He looked a little similar to Lin Jiufeng too.
When he heard Sect Leader Luo Yu's words, his face couldn't help but turn red.
He hurriedly said, "Master, I've been slightly slacking off recently…"
"I'll be more careful in the future."
He was newlywed, and the wife he married was someone he chose himself. Her wife was definitely someone that he liked. With the couple deeply in love with each other, it was inevitable that they would have frequent trysts.
But these activities seemed to have also become the reason for the leakage of his vital energy, preventing him from maintaining the peak state of his body. As a result, he was unable to make a breakthrough into the next realm.
Sect Leader Luo Yu saw through Emperor De's problem in an instant and he even pointed it out.
Seeing the embarrassed Emperor De, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Your Majesty…"
"It's natural for humans to have sex. There's no need to be shy…"
"Moreover, Your Majesty also needs to have an offspring. It's just that you have to control yourself for the next three months. This way, making a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm won't be a problem for Your Majesty."
Emperor De replied rather seriously, "I understand…"
"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Master."
"Your Majesty, please take a look at the newly-established sect of our Zenith Heaven Path Sect. You can take a stroll around to familiarize yourself with the surroundings and to also ease the worries in your mind," Sect Leader Luo Yu said with a smile.
"Okay. Goodbye, Teacher Master." Emperor De nodded and turned to leave.
Sect Leader Luo Yu looked at the departing Emperor De with a calm look on his face.
"You have successfully gained the trust of this little Emperor."
An old Daoist priest walked out from behind Sect Master Luo Yu.
A look of satisfaction was on the Daoist priest's face.
"As long as you are willing to treat others sincerely, they will definitely be able to feel it…"
"This little Emperor has his own opinions and it's not that easy to brainwash him. But he values relationships, so we should groom our relationship with him and we can then slowly control the Yuhua God Dynasty through our connection with him," Sect Master Luo Yu said softly.
"Not a bad plan, but I heard that the court officials, cabinet ministers, and even the Empress Dowager do not like our Zenith Heaven Path Sect interfering in the state affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty," the old Daoist priest said.
"A group of corrupt scholars, a group of old people, and a mere woman…"
"What's there to care about?" Sect Leader Luo Yu said in disdain.
"I just have to make Emperor De dance on the palm of my hand. I'll use my relationship with him to solicit and slowly gather the most precious treasures out there in the world. Then, I'll slowly unseal the powerhouses of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect…"
"When that time comes, the Yuhua God Dynasty would become nothing but a mere secular god dynasty in front of our Zenith Heaven Path Sect. If we are not satisfied with their performance under us, we could just replace them with another dynasty."
Sect Leader Luo Yu coldly explained.
His Zenith Heaven Path Sect wasn't willing to become a mere subordinate of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
What he wanted was to turn the entire Yuhua God Dynasty into a huge follower of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, making the Yuhua God Dynasty become the Zenith Heaven Path's subordinate instead.
In this new era, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect would definitely flourish.
"I'm relieved that you've thought about it this way. I'm just afraid that you will develop feelings for this little Emperor." the old Taoist priest was satisfied by the explanation.
"I'm someone from thousands of years ago. Would I change my mind because of an 18-year-old child?" Sect Leader Luo Yu said disdainfully.
When he was with Emperor De, he taught him sincerely.
But his sincerity was only there for the sake of rewards.
Once there was no reward nor any benefit to gain, he would immediately fall out with Emperor De.
"Let's wait for a few more years…"
"We have recently just established ourselves. Right now, we need to slowly accumulate our strength and dig out the powerhouses of our Zenith Heaven Path Sect one by one…"
"This is our first priority."
"But for now, let's continue our integration to the Yuhua God Dynasty," Sect Master Luo Yu said.

Chapter 78: Princess Yulin
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After receiving pointers from Sect Leader Luo Yu, Emperor De now knew how to improve himself even further until he made a breakthrough into the next realm.
Avoid coitus in the next three months, maintain the peak state of his body, and he will eventually make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm.
'In the history of the Yuhua God Dynasty, there has never been an 18-year-old Martial Sage…'
'Whether it's Father Emperor or Grandpa Emperor, they are both wise rulers in their own generation. The only drawback that they have is that they died too early'
Emperor De didn't want to repeat the old ways of his Father Emperor and Grandpa Emperor.
Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming were definitely wise rulers.
They reformed and managed the world, and also pulled the Yuhua God Dynasty back from the brink of collapse.
Their achievements were undeniable.
However, both Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming lived very short lives.
Their reforms were completed by the efforts of both of them.
Each of them had only lived for ten plus years as emperors, even adding the sum of their reigns only amounted to 30 plus years.
Emperor De didn't want to follow the same path as his father and grandfather.
Hence, while he was studying politics, he was also very interested in the pursuit of the martial path.
He wanted to strengthen his body and live a long life.
He wanted to become the Yuhua God Dynasty's longest-living Emperor.
This was why he was able to resist the urge to live a happy life as a newlywed with his wife.
After leaving the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, Emperor De returned to the Forbidden City and sent a letter to the Empress. He informed her that he would be in seclusion for the next three months and that he wouldn't be going over for the time being.
He wanted to practice abstinence for the sake of becoming a Martial Sage.
…
In the Empress Dowager's palace, Lin Tianyuan's Empress had become the Empress Dowager.
She was only in her thirties, not old at all.
She was at the prime of her age as a woman.
But despite her age, she had already matured.
She was often dressed in a dignified manner, giving off the air of grace and elegance.
As a woman who had been in charge of the state affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty for several years now. Her skills were irrefutable.
She was once able to manage the imperial harem in an orderly manner. If it weren't for the fact that the members of the Mountain Ghost Race had bewitched Lin Tianyuan, the imperial harem would've remained peaceful until the end.
Management was her life skill.
After Lin Tianyuan's death, she started to manage the state affairs.
She handled them very well and in a broad-minded manner, earning the endless praises of the court officials around her.
"Your Majesty went to the Zenith Heaven Path Sect again today?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the excited Emperor De and asked.
"Yes, Mother… I have found a way to make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm. Three months later, I will definitely be at the Martial Sage Realm," Emperor De said proudly.
Emperor Dowager was surprised. "Is that true?"
"Of course! Mother always said that the people of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect have bad intentions, but Sect Master Luo Yu imparted everything he knew to me. He even imparted some techniques suitable for Martial Sages to me…"
"In addition, there has never been an 18-year-old Martial Sage in the history of our Yuhua God Dynasty," Emperor De said proudly.
He trusted Sect Leader Luo Yu very much.
The Emperor Dowager's originally happy mood instantly simmered down.
She couldn't help but speak up, "Son, you are the Emperor. You cannot have such trust in a stranger. Even if Sect Master Luo Yu has no evil intentions towards you, you still cannot fully trust anyone!"
Emperor De's excitement immediately vanished.
He could only sigh and reply, "Mother is right, I understand."
The Empress Dowager wanted to say more, but Emperor De directly bowed and said, "I still have to cultivate. I will leave the state affairs to Mother. In any case, Mother is more knowledgeable than me."
The Empress Dowager watched as Emperor De left in a fit of pique.
She sighed helplessly.
"His stubbornness is exactly the same as his father's, even his pride is also exactly the same…"
The Empress Dowager felt a headache coming her way.
Emperor De was just too similar to Lin Tianyuan.
Especially his temper…
His temper was practically carved out from the same mold as Lin Tianyuan's.
"But your father has Uncle supporting him, and you don't…"
"I can contact Uncle, but you can't. This means that Uncle doesn't have that much feelings for you. All these years, you've been treating that Sect Leader Luo Yu as your backer. What a childish idea." The Empress Dowager sighed.
She was truly worried about this matter.
'The people of the plains, and the Xianbei tribes have recently united to form a tremendously powerful force called the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow!'
"The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow had always frequently invaded our borders. The scouts have reported that there is an extremely terrifying existence on their side, and they are about to make a move. They are a force that we cannot afford to underestimate."
"But you aren't actually concerned about this matter…"
"Instead, you only focused on your cultivation."
The Empress Dowager felt vexed.
Perhaps her son wasn't suitable to be the Emperor at all, but a true cultivator.
But she had no choice.
She only had this one son and a daughter.
Moreover, the Yuhua God Dynasty had never allowed a woman to ascend to the throne since its establishment hundreds of years ago.
So it had to be Emperor De.
But his actions gave the Empress Dowager nothing but a headache.
'Should I tell him that he has a great-grandfather who is much more powerful than the Zenith Heaven Path Sect?' The Empress Dowager thought silently.
She supported her head with her hands. This subtle action of hers and the worry on her face painted a picturesque scene that no one had witnessed.
…
Lin Jiufeng was from the generation of Emperor De's grandfather
That's right…
It has been decades since he arrived in this world.
Lin Jiufeng still couldn't feel that he had done anything substantial yet, but he already became a great-uncle.
Today, the white cat asked Lin Jiufeng about the inner workings of the imperial family.
Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat and slowly explained some of the inner workings of the imperial family.
As he talked, Lin Jiufeng suddenly realized that he was already in the grandfather generation.
He was Emperor Yuan's biological elder brother.
Emperor Ming was his nephew.
Emperor De was his grandnephew.
They were from the same lineage.
The children of the other princes had little to do with Lin Jiufeng.
But the direct bloodline of Emperor Yuan was still relatively close to Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Tianyuan only had two children, a son, and a daughter.
His son became Emperor De.
His daughter was conferred the title of Princess Yulin.
Lin Yulin was Emperor De's younger sister, Lin Tianyuan's daughter, and the only princess of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
She was of noble status.
"But you've never seen any of your grandnephews at all," The white cat said.
"Why should I? They have their own lives to live, and they might never get involved with me in their entire lifetime. Why should I go look for them?" Lin Jiufeng said with a smile.
"A lifetime is too long. What you said is too absolute, there are what-ifs in this world."
The white cat rebutted Lin Jiufeng.
"But I feel that I won't be able to see them for the rest of my life," Lin Jiufeng said confidently.
He had a lifespan of thousands of years, while Emperor De and Princess Yulin only had a lifespan of a mere hundred years.
Moreover, they were both in the prosperous parts of the Imperial Capital, while Lin Jiufeng was in the Cold Palace that no one cared about in the Imperial Capital.
How could there be any contact between them?
The white cat mumbled, "I have a hunch that you will soon come into contact with your grandnephews."
Lin Jiufeng smiled without saying anything.
He reached out to stroke the white cat, but he didn't refute her words.
Still, he refused to believe the white cat's words.
…
Yuhua God Dynasty, Forbidden City.
A beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe with a sweet smile walked into the place where the treasured relics of both Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming were stored.
"There must be a treasure within Father and Grandpa Emperor's relics!"
"Brother Emperor only knows how to cultivate from day to night and even mocked me for my poor talent. This is simply preposterous. I must find a treasure to become stronger and Brother Emperor will soon come and beg me for help when the time comes!"
The pure young girl excitedly rummaged through the large pile of relics.
She was the only princess of the Yuhua God Dynasty, Princess Yulin.
She was doted on since she was young, but she didn't develop an arrogant and tyrannical personality. Instead, her personality was considered adorable, childish, and empathic.
She also knew how to take pity on strangers.
All in all, she was a very cute girl.
"Huh, what's this? Why is it in Grandpa Emperor's treasured relics?" Yu Lin suddenly found a key.
It was very old and it wasn't an item from the palace.
She looked at it curiously.
"It's the Key to Lord Zhenbei's palace!"
Princess Yulin frowned and thought carefully.
She had heard of this name before.
"Lord Zhenbei, isn't this a lord who was disinherited many years ago?"
"This lord was imprisoned in his own palace and died of insanity. His palace became the Cold Palace from then on." Princess Yulin frowned slightly.
"Why did Grandpa Emperor keep this key?"
"He even kept it in such a hidden place."
Princess Yulin's eyes gradually lit up.
It seemed that she had discovered a great secret.

Chapter 79: Found by Accident
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Only one person kept coming to the Cold Palace every month.
Other than when it was time for him to visit, the Cold Palace was usually wrapped in silence.
Similar to the silence felt by a lonely sycamore tree in autumn.
Lin Jiufeng sometimes wondered if he should plant flowers to improve his mood.
Because there was no one else in the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng was used to living alone with the white cat. Therefore, he usually wouldn't go to observe the entrance of the Cold Palace.
Lin Jiufeng knew which day Dachun would come every month.
Dachun would always come at a fixed interval, he wouldn't disturb him if it wasn't time.
As a result, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat didn't notice a little fairy walking in front of the Cold Palace's entrance today.
Princess Yulin held an old key in her hand.
She looked around and said, "This must be Lord Zhenbei's abandoned palace. It has been converted into the Cold Palace of the Yuhua God Dynasty."
"Sure enough, this palace is really dilapidated. It's a waste simply leaving all of these here to rot without using them." Princess Yulin couldn't help but shake her head.
She slowly walked to the door of the Cold Palace and looked at the stone lions that had been ravaged by time. She reached out and wiped them, revealing a layer of dust.
"There are no traces of anyone living here, so why did Grandpa Emperor still keep the key?" Princess Yulin looked at the stone lions in curiosity.
The closed doors of the Cold Palace were covered in dust.
Inside the door was a lock designed by a skilled craftsman.
It could only be opened with a specific key.
Princess Yulin pushed the door, but there was no response.
"This key should be able to open it. I shall go in and take a look."
Princess Yulin inserted the key.
Ka! Ka! Ka!
The door of the Cold Palace that hadn't been opened for a long time churned to life.
It actually let out a screeching sound as it was being pushed open.
Princess Yulin frowned and added more force into her pushing.
Boom!
The main door of the Cold Palace was directly pushed open.
What greeted her eyes wasn't dirt and grime.
Instead, there existed a neat passageway and a courtyard without weeds.
This was different from what Princess Yulin had imagined.
She looked at this scene suspiciously and remained standing still.
In the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat woke up from their meditation at the same time. They looked at each other in surprise.
Someone had entered the Cold Palace!
This was something that had never happened in so many years.
Lin Jiufeng remembered that since he was banished to the Cold Palace, only people from the Chasing Corpse Sect had sneaked in twice.
After those two times, the Chasing Corpse Sect turned tail and didn't dare to come again.
Other than them were Emperor Yuan, Emperor Ming, and the group of four, which was the young monk, the two Daoist priests, and the towering man.
Apart from these individuals, no one else had voluntarily entered the Cold Palace.
Following Emperor Ming's death, the doors of the Cold Palace had never been opened for more than five years. They had always been tightly shut.
Today…
Someone unexpectedly opened the doors of the Cold Palace—and it was strangely a young girl.
Lin Jiufeng scanned with her his Divine Soul and saw her appearance.
She was an exquisite young lady.
She was in her late twenties and her figure radiated nothing but the prime of youth. Her face was covered in the youthfulness of those that were truly young. At this moment, her eyes were filled with curiosity as she observed the Cold Palace.
"Is she someone you know?" The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng suspiciously.
Lin Jiufeng shook his head and said, "I don't know her."
"Then, why did she come here?" The white cat curiously jumped onto the wall and quickly approached. When it saw Princess Yulin, her eyes lit up.
Even cats knew to admire a picturesque scene.
The white cat found it even stranger.
This girl looked either rich or noble, the way she carried herself also made it obvious that she came from an extraordinary family.
So, why did she come to the Cold Palace that everyone avoided at all costs?
The white cat raised her claws.
Her sharp claws then shot out.
She wanted to protect her own territory.
She wouldn't allow other people of the same gender to casually enter.
As long as this woman stepped into the Cold Palace, she would chase her out.
Princess Yulin looked at the clean Cold Palace and mumbled, "This doesn't seem like the Cold Palace that people described as a place that can drive anyone into madness. Since Grandpa Emperor left the key behind, it means that he has also been here before…"
"There should be no problem. I'll go in and take a look."
Princess Yulin stepped into the Cold Palace.
Meow!
The white cat called out and was about to attack.
She wanted to defend her territory and chase this woman out.
Boom!
But in the very next moment, space froze.
The white cat's body froze on top of the wall, unable to move at all.
"Why did you stop me?" The white cat asked Lin Jiufeng angrily.
She wanted to defend her territory.
Every animal was territorial, it was natural for her to do this.
Lin Jiufeng reached out and carried her down.
He stroked the fuming white cat and said, "You must not hurt her. She's not an outsider."
"Not an outsider?" The white cat was confused.
"Didn't you say that you don't know her?" The white cat questioned.
Her pair of eyes that seemed to contain all the stars in the sky blinked meaningfully.
Lin Jiufeng looked slightly embarrassed as he said, "She's one of the two people we discussed yesterday."
One of the two people we discussed yesterday?
The two children belonged to Lin Jiufeng's grandchildren generation, and they were also Lin Tianyuan's son and daughter.
The one who came here today should call Lin Jiufeng 'Grand-Uncle'.
The white cat was no longer angry. She looked at Lin Jiufeng curiously. "Yesterday, a certain someone swore that he would never come into contact with them. But now, your grandnephew is here. You didn't expect this, did you?"
Lin Jiufeng remained expressionless and he didn't speak.
The only way to resolve the awkwardness was to pretend that nothing had happened.
The expressionless Lin Jiufeng looked a little cold.
The white cat angrily knocked her head against Lin Jiufeng's chest and said indignantly, "You always use this expression on me. I don't even want to talk to you anymore."
Lin Jiufeng stroked her gently and replied, "I said that there wouldn't be any contact, so it's definitely true. She probably just came in out of curiosity to take a look. After she sees that there is nothing here, she would definitely leave."
"You don't plan to meet her?" The white cat was surprised.
"What should we talk about if we met?" Lin Jiufeng countered.
The white cat was speechless.
He didn't know what to say if they met.
Just as the man and the cat were bickering, Princess Yulin had already closed the doors of the Cold Palace halfway.
Then, she walked along the passageway and passed through the front yard, entering Lin Jiufeng's resting place.
Which was also the courtyard Lin Jiufeng lived in.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat looked at each other, dumbfounded.
"The courtyard hasn't been tidied up yet!" The white cat blurted out.
Lin Jiufeng stepped out and entered the courtyard.
He was about to tidy up the place when Princess Yulin pushed the door open and entered.
Lin Jiufeng directly encountered Princess Yu Lin.
At this moment, the white cat's breathing came to a halt.
But she discovered that Princess Yulin seemed to not be able to see Lin Jiufeng who was standing in the courtyard. She walked straight in and looked around in surprise.
The white cat heaved a sigh of relief.
If Lin Jiufeng didn't want to be discovered, he definitely wouldn't be discovered.
But the courtyard could no longer be tidied up.
Princess Yulin blurted out in surprise. "Is there anyone living here?"
"This bed is so cold." Princess Yulin sat on the frost jade bed and muttered in amazement.
"I can feel energy surging in my body just by sitting here for a moment. My cultivation base has also been bolstered for quite a lot." Princess Yulin's pleasant surprise continued.
"There are so many books here, what are they all about?"
Princess Yulin saw the books that the Holy Maiden gave to Lin Jiufeng.
As she browsed through the books, her expression gradually turned serious, even surprised.
In the end, she even covered her mouth.
"This should be the treasure left behind by Grandpa Emperor. I've found it!"
Princess Yulin exclaimed in excitement.
A brand new world had opened up for her.
Both Lin Jiufeng and the white cat looked at each other for a while.
In the end, they could only reveal bitter smiles.
What should they do with this girl?

Chapter 80: Time to Leave
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Princess Yulin discovered a new world.
Her horizons have been broadened.
The education that she received since she was young taught her that this world was like the way it was now. She had always thought that the Yuhua God Dynasty was very powerful—powerful enough to suppress the world.
But the things recorded in these books were simply too shocking and hard for her to accept.
It turned out that the Yuhua God Dynasty wasn't that powerful.
In fact, it could even be said that the dynasty was even qualified to be called 'strong'.
It turned out that there were so many undercurrents in this peaceful world.
If the Yuhua God Dynasty wasn't careful, they could easily be destroyed.
It turned out that the number of cultivators was sometimes low and sometimes high.
All of these were due to the rise and decline of the world's spiritual energy.
The more she read, the more her horizons were broadened.
The way this innocent white flower looked at the world was gradually being reshaped.
However, she was quick to adapt to these changes.
After confirming that all of these were real, she decisively looked at the world in a brand new way.
Her outlook in life has also changed and it also affected her attitude.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat witnessed the entire process.
For several days in a row, Princess Yulin was immersed in the sea of books.
She absorbed the knowledge contained in this place at a rapid pace.
On the contrary, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat became homeless.
Both man and cat stayed outside the courtyard for a few days, just so they wouldn't disturb Lin Jiufeng's grandnephew.
Although she wasn't Lin Jiufeng's biological daughter, she was still Emperor Yuan's biological granddaughter.
Therefore, her relationship with Lin Jiufeng was that of a very close descendant.
Watching the little girl slowly change from a little white rabbit to a mature fox, Lin Jiufeng didn't know what to say.
The books delivered by the Holy Maiden contained countless schemes and tricks.
Moreover, many of them had been passed down for thousands of years. It all broadened Princess Yulin's horizons.
But in the end, she became exhausted from reading all of these.
Her heart was no longer as pure as before.
"Grandpa Emperor… It turns out that our world is actually so turbulent."
"Is it because of the guidance of your spirit in heaven that I discovered the books and this bed here? They are very suitable for me. My cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days." Princess Yulin smiled happily.
She had seen many crafty plots and schemes from these books, and these machinations added a lot of different colors to her pure heart.
But in essence, she was still that beautiful and kind girl.
The quality engraved on a person's heart and bones wouldn't be easily wiped away.
"I just saw a book that recorded the Zenith Heaven Path Sect's history. It turns out that it's a sect that isn't from this era, but from the previous era. It's simply terrifying. Those records made me tremble in fear," Princess Yulin muttered solemnly.
"The Zenith Heaven Path Sect has already gained the trust of my Brother Emperor. He's just like my Father Emperor, stubborn as a bull. I don't have concrete evidence, so I won't be able to convince him to keep his guard up against the Zenith Heaven Path sect."
Princess Yulin held the book.
She really wanted to run over and show it to her Brother Emperor.
Unfortunately, her brother was currently in seclusion to make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm.
It would take him at least three months to do so.
She wouldn't be able to see her brother for the next three months.
"What should I do?" Princess Yulin asked herself, vexed.
…
Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but smile when he saw how troubled Princess Yulin was.
"She's indeed from the imperial family. Even if she's a woman, upon sensing that there's a problem with the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, she will still be anxious about keeping a time bomb in such close proximity," Lin Jiufeng said.
"She's just too weak," the white cat said.
In the past, when Princess Yulin was practicing martial arts, she wasn't that passionate about it.
As a result, she was only at the Innate Realm at the age of 16.
"I can help her improve and make her stronger so that she can fight against the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. This way, I won't have to worry about the Yuhua God Dynasty falling into the hands of others," Lin Jiufeng said.
"Then, don't you have to meet her to do that?" The white cat asked.
"No." Lin Jiufeng shook his head. "I don't have to meet her. I can just teach her in her dreams."
The white cat suddenly remembered that Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul was now so powerful that he could suppress her—a Human God—with just a word.
Then, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to enter the dream of an Innate Realm cultivator to impact martial arts and teach her?
After that, Lin Jiufeng gave his courtyard to Princess Yulin so that she could stay inside.
Lin Jiufeng wandered around the Cold Palace with the white cat.
Princess Yulin never knew that there was someone else in this Cold Palace.
One night, she got tired of reading. In a daze, she came to a world where the clouds floated endlessly in the skies.
Standing with his hands behind his back…
Lin Jiufeng looked at Princess Yulin and asked with a smile, "Do you want to learn the sword?"
"Who are you?" Princess Yulin asked cautiously.
"I was invited by your Grandpa Emperor to help you cultivate. This is your dream world," Lin Jiufeng said softly.
"Really?" Princess Yulin looked at Lin Jiufeng suspiciously.
"Regardless of whether it's real or fake, take a look at this sword technique first and see if it suits you." Lin Jiufeng began to unsheathe his sword.
With a stroke of his sword, he directly shattered this dream world.
AHHH!
Princess Yulin was shocked.
She screamed and woke up to find that she was still reading before she nodded off.
"It was really a dream!" Princess Yulin blurted in surprise.
"That strike just now was ridiculously powerful." Princess Yulin swallowed.
Determined, she forced herself to fall asleep.
Entering her dream world again, Princess Yulin began to seriously practice swordsmanship with Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng's strength was unfathomable.
It was easy for him to teach and enlighten Princess Yulin.
Her strength doubled overnight.
Early in the morning of the next day, the awakened Princess Yulin decisively came to the courtyard to practice her swordsmanship.
"Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill!"
This sword technique was very powerful. After learning it overnight, she only managed to comprehend a little bit of it. But when she unsheathed her sword, it was already powerful enough to become a killing move for her.
Only then did Princess Yulin believe that the mysterious man in her dream was someone that Grandpa Emperor had hired to teach her.
Hence, she quickly entered her dream once more and continued to learn from Lin Jiufeng.
Directly next door sat Lin Jiufeng with a smile on his face. He closed his eyes and his Divine Soul invaded Princess Yulin's subconscious as he directly entered his dream world. There, he began to teach her once more.
With Lin Jiufeng's current cultivation base, it was a piece of cake for him to teach and enlighten a person.
Especially since Princess Yulin shared the same bloodline as him, it wasn't a problem for her to learn his Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill.
A month later, Princess Yulin made a breakthrough into the Great Grandmaster Realm.
She didn't even dare to imagine that her cultivation speed could actually be so fast.
However, with the help of the abundant spiritual energy of the world and Lin Jiufeng's guidance along with her diligent cultivation. She was able to achieve such a feat.
In the second month, Lin Jiufeng helped her make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm.
When Princess Yulin finally stood at the Martial Sage Realm, she couldn't seem to believe that she was looking at reality. Everything just seemed so surreal.
It was too exaggerated.
In two months, she arrived at the Martial Sage Realm from the Innate Realm.
It has to be known that her Brother Emperor was also working hard at this moment to make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm.
Yet, she actually managed to break that boundary so easily.
And after the third month…
Lin Jiufeng continued to teach Princess Yulin to the best of his abilities. In the Martial Sage Realm, Princess Yulin was now invincible with her Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill.
Three months later from the time he started teaching her, Lin Jiufeng said to Princess Yulin in the dream world. "It's time for you to leave. Don't stay here any longer."
"But I still want to continue cultivating." Princess Yulin bit her red lips and refused.
"The scouts from the Yuhua God Dynasty are looking for you everywhere. Something seemed to have happened, you should go out now." Lin Jiufeng sincerely advised.
If she didn't leave, both he and the white cat wouldn't be able to return to their courtyard.

Chapter 81: Big Change
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Jiufeng only allowed her to stay in the Cold Palace for three months because of Princess Yulin's bloodline. Considering this, he didn't hold back and even entered her dreams to teach her the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill.
Princess Yulin was one of Lin Tianyuan's two children.
The 30-year-old Lin Tianyuan didn't expect that he would die so young, so he wasn't in a hurry to have children.
But after being duped by the Mountain Ghost Race, his body became weak and it became impossible for him to have any more children.
Hence, his eldest son succeeded the throne and his daughter became the only princess of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Lin Jiufeng thought that he would never see Princess Yulin and Emperor De in his life, but who would have thought that Princess Yulin would come here on her own?
Since she had discovered this place on her own, Lin Jiufeng didn't mind giving her some pointers to make her stronger.
Then, he also let her find out that the Zenith Heaven Path Sect had malicious intentions so that she would target the Zenith Heaven Path Sect in the Yuhua God Dynasty and inform Emperor De of their malice at the same time.
This saved Lin Jiufeng the trouble of handling this problem on his own.
He could once again continue his peaceful routine.
As long as the problem wasn't that big, Lin Jiufeng didn't really want to go out.
His routine of beating up those demons in the den and receiving treasures in return didn't seem bad, was it?
If the Yuhua God Dynasty needed Lin Jiufeng's help in every problem they encountered, then they would truly be useless.
In the end, Princess Yulin left.
Lin Jiufeng was right.
She had disappeared for three months, and the entire Yuhua God Dynasty was looking for her.
If she still didn't appear, the entire world would definitely be alarmed.
The only princess of the current dynasty actually went missing…
If word got out, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Of course, this was largely because the Yuhua God Dynasty's influence was boundless.
After the arrival of the new era, countless forces were facing a reshuffle in power. But the number one force in the world—the Yuhua God Dynasty—continued to maintain its huge territory without showing any sign of collapse.
This made people click their tongues in wonder.
Therefore, if news of the Yuhua God Dynasty's princess' disappearance spread, it would definitely cause an uproar in the world.
The entire imperial court was anxious.
They searched everywhere, but no one thought of the Cold Palace.
Even when they passed by the Cold Palace, no one paid any attention to it.
They just ignored it completely.
The Cold Palace and Lin Jiufeng really had no presence in the Yuhua God Dynasty at all.
But he was also happy about this.
After Princess Yulin left, he and the white cat entered the courtyard.
Seeing the clean courtyard, the white cat said in surprise, "I didn't expect that the princess who was born with a golden spoon would also know how to clean. I thought that after three months, our courtyard would be very dirty."
Lin Jiufeng looked at the spotless courtyard and said in satisfaction, "She's a good child."
Lin Jiufeng really regarded the Princess as his junior.
Calculating the time, he was about 60 years old by now.
If this was in his previous life, he would definitely be an old man.
In fact, he was already acting like one—seeing that he favored outstanding children.
"Her arrival was an accident, she probably won't come anymore. Let's continue our quiet life here," Lin Jiufeng said casually.
"You must be dreaming," the white cat mumbled.
Lin Jiufeng pretended not to hear anything.
He laid on the frost jade bed and closed his eyes to cultivate.
…
Princess Yulin came to the Forbidden City and met her brother, Emperor De.
"Where have you been?"
When Emperor De saw his younger sister, he sized her up carefully. After ensuring that his younger sister wasn't taken disadvantage of, he suppressed his anger and questioned her.
"Brother Emperor, where have you been for the past three months?"
Princess Yulin asked with a smile.
"I was cultivating in seclusion to make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm. Why are you questioning me instead?" Emperor De said angrily.
"Did you know how anxious Mother was and how many tears she shed in private?"
Emperor De wanted to hit his sister and punish her. But in the end, he couldn't bear to do so.
Princess Yulin scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "I will go and visit Mother. I have my own things to do."
"What exactly are you busy with?" Emperor De asked angrily.
"Same as you," Princess Yulin said nonchalantly. She was very excited and wanted to show off, but she suppressed it with all her might and pretended not to care.
She looked very cute like this.
Emperor De's anger dissipated under his sister's cute expression. He sneered. "Like me?"
"I broke through to the Martial Sage Realm in seclusion, but as for you, you went out to play, didn't you?" Emperor De looked at his sister in disdain.
"Are you looking down on me?" Princess Yulin raised her brows. "Come, let's fight. I will let you know that a scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with brand new eyes. Your younger sister is no longer the younger sister of three months ago."
"Have you taken the wrong medicine? Have you gone mad?"
Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin strangely.
"I'm the youngest Martial Sage in the royal family of the Yuhua God Dynasty, and I'm also the Emperor. You want to fight me?"
Emperor De looked at his sister's delicate body and shook his head in contempt.
"Alright, you've been looking down on me all the way. Come, receive one strike from me."
Princess Yulin was furious.
She made a sword sign with her fingers and imitated Lin Jiufeng.
She directly drew her sword and unsheathed it.
Emperor De didn't take Princess Yulin seriously at all.
He only thought that she was fooling around.
But in the very next moment, the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill was already out of its scabbard. It brought with it a sonorous sound that reverberated in the surroundings. It was very loud and clear, causing his expression to change drastically.
"Not good…" At this moment, Emperor De knew that he had made a mistake.
A huge mistake.
He really had to look at this younger sister of his in a different light.
"Emperor's Scripture!" Emperor De raised his hand to counterattack.
His True Qi condensed and spread all over his body.
But in the very next moment, the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill tore through his True Qi.
The sword energy that seemed to have turned tangible landed on Emperor De's neck.
The cold sword energy sent chills down his back.
He actually… he actually had no ability to resist at all!
Under this sword, he could only wait for his death.
Emperor De was horrified. He looked at his younger sister in shock.
At this moment, Princess Yu Lin was smiling happily.
"Brother Emperor, you were wrong when you said that you were the youngest Martial Sage in the royal family."
"I am the youngest now," Princess Yulin announced happily.
She was only 16 years old—two years younger than Emperor De.
Emperor De asked in shock, "You were only at the Innate Realm three months ago…"
Princess Yulin dispersed the sword energy of the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill.
With her hands behind her back, she said proudly, "As I said, I've really been busy with something in the past three months. A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with brand new eyes. Have you changed your opinion of me?"
Emperor De looked at his sister whose tail was about to reach the sky.
He smiled bitterly and said, "You've given me too many surprises."
"There are even bigger surprises," Princess Yulin whispered.
"What?" Emperor De looked at his sister in surprise.
"Brother, leave your guards behind. I will bring you to a place," Princess Yulin said softly.
"What place?" Emperor De asked curiously.
"I discovered the treasures that Grandpa Emperor left behind," Princess Yulin leaned over and whispered into Emperor De's ear.
Emperor De's eyes widened. He looked at Princess Yulin and whispered to her. "Are you sure?"
"Of course! Otherwise, how could I have broken through so quickly?" Princess Yulin replied.
"And if you go, you will definitely be shocked. This world isn't as simple as you think it is." Princess Yulin smiled mysteriously.
"Alright, go and see Mother first. I will wait for you here. Bring me there at night," Emperor De said solemnly.
"Alright, I'll go see Mother first, then I'll come and find you." Princess Yulin got up and left.
She left the giddy and expectant Emperor De behind.
A treasure left behind by Grandpa Emperor?
What exactly was it?
…
Lin Jiufeng, who was cultivating with the white cat, had no idea of this scene.

Chapter 82: A Shocking News
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At night.
Lin Jiufeng was quietly cultivating with the white cat.
This was the first time in three months that they managed to sleep on the frost jade bed.
Lin Jiufeng believed that this situation would remain as it was in the future.
However, as the sky turned dark, the night pervaded the land.
The moonlight was akin to that of a waterfall, yet also like a veil that draped over one's body.
On such a beautiful night, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat abruptly stopped their cultivation.
They raised their heads and looked at the two cherry trees.
They couldn't help but quietly admire the scene in front of them.
A man and a cat.
The two blooming cherry trees complemented each other.
The pink cherry blossoms fluttered in the evening breeze.
Lin Jiufeng was tall and slender. He wore a dust-free suit with a snow-white collar.
On his shoulder stood the little white cat.
This scene was silent and picturesque as if it was from a painting that had come alive.
But such a beautiful scene was broken by the sound of opening gates.
Dong!
The gates of the Cold Palace have opened once again.
The sound immediately scattered the painting-like scene.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat looked at each other, speechless.
Lin Jiufeng scanned with his Divine Soul and discovered that the person who opened the door was Princess Yulin.
She left in the morning and immediately came back in the evening?
Meow!
The white cat called out. She looked at Lin Jiufeng and remembered what Lin Jiufeng said in the day. She couldn't help but snicker.
Back then, she said that Lin Jiufeng was being too idealistic.
Sure enough, as the white cat predicted, Princess Yulin came again.
But the white cat didn't think that she would come so soon.
"What do you plan to do?" The white cat asked Lin Jiufeng.
"Let's observe for now. She didn't come here alone," Lin Jiufeng said softly.
He saw the young man behind Princess Yulin.
Emperor De!
Even though Lin Jiufeng had never seen Emperor De before, he still recognized him at first glance.
Emperor De looked a little similar to himself.
He also had that temperament and the dignity that belonged solely to an Emperor.
Even though Emperor De still wasn't directly handling the state affairs yet, he had accumulated quite a lot of experience from the guidance of the court officials.
'Did Princess Yulin bring Emperor De here to let him see the true colors of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect?' Lin Jiufeng thought silently.
The power of his Divine Soul distorted the space around him.
He stood still with the white cat.
Princess Yulin closed the door of the Cold Palace and was about to walk in…
When Emperor De spoke curiously, "This is the Cold Palace. The sinners of the royal family are imprisoned here. Why did you bring me here?"
Princess Yulin said, "I brought you here to let you see the treasures that Grandpa Emperor left behind. There's no one in the Cold Palace anyway."
Princess Yulin—who had lived here for three months—didn't discover Lin Jiufeng at all.
"Is there no one else in the Cold Palace?" Emperor De looked around curiously.
"That's right, I've been living here for three months now." Princess Yulin nodded.
"But when I was studying history, I remember very clearly that about 40 years ago, a crown prince made a mistake and his cultivation was destroyed. He was then banished to the Cold Palace. Until now, there has been no news of his death."
Emperor De followed Princess Yulin in as he spoke.
"You also know that it was about 40 years ago. At that time, even Father Emperor hadn't been born. It has to be traced back to Grandpa Emperor's generation." Princess Yulin said.
"Do you know why I remember this matter?" Emperor De asked Princess Yulin.
"Why?" Princess Yulin didn't understand.
"Because strictly speaking, the dethroned Crown Prince imprisoned here is the biological elder brother of Grandpa Emperor, they were born from the same mother. In other words, he is our Big Grand-Uncle." Emperor De explained to Princess Yulin.
"No wonder Grandpa Emperor hid the treasures and secret manuals here. It's probably to pay respects to this Big Grand-Uncle who was banished to the Cold Palace," Princess Yulin replied in understanding.
"Probably…" Emperor De shook his head, not wanting to think about the whereabouts of the dethroned Crown Prince who was imprisoned here.
Perhaps it was really as Princess Yulin had said.
After 40 years, there was a possibility that he was already dead.
"These two cherry trees are quite beautiful, they are in full bloom."
Emperor De looked at the two cherry trees outside the courtyard.
He took a deep breath of the refreshing air.
"They bloomed while I was living here. It might have been planted by our Big Grand-Uncle," Princess Yulin said with a smile.
Emperor De nodded and looked around.
He didn't find anything, so he followed Princess Yulin into the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat watched them silently from under the cherry trees.
"They called you Big Grand-Uncle." The white cat whispered into Lin Jiufeng's ear.
"Princess Yulin probably brought Emperor De here to read the books. She wanted to let him know about the Zenith Heaven Path Sect's scheme," Lin Jiufeng said.
He didn't chase them out.
It was good for Emperor De to know the origins of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, so he would be on guard against them.
This way, Emperor De wouldn't be so foolish as to be deceived by the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.
If this happened, then only the end awaited the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Lin Jiufeng would also have fewer troubles to think of.
He wouldn't have to save the Yuhua God Dynasty from being destroyed.
Just like that, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat stood under the cherry trees.
They watched as Princess Yulin brought Emperor De along to look through the pile of books that recorded the previous era in great detail.
From his initial surprise and disbelief to his subsequent silence, Emperor De's face then turned cold.
"Brother Emperor, this book specifically recorded the matters of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. You should take a look at it carefully," Princess Yulin said softly.
Emperor De reached out and took it.
He was speechless for a long time before he slowly opened the first page.
Everything about the Zenith Heaven Path Sect was recorded in great detail.
"They deceived me!" Emperor De gritted his teeth.
Princess Yulin said, "It's not unreasonable that every court official and even Mother opposed the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. It's not too late for you to become aware of their true colors."
Emperor De didn't say anything.
He read the entire book seriously.
His good impression of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect disappeared.
"Sister, thank you." Emperor De thanked Princess Yulin seriously.
If it wasn't for Princess Yulin showing him these, he would never believe that Sect Master Luo Yu was so good to him only because he had selfish motives.
"It's fine as long as you've come back to your senses. Besides, there's no need to thank me. You should thank Grandpa Emperor. This is definitely the treasure that Grandpa Emperor left for us," Princess Yulin said with a smile.
Emperor De looked around but he didn't respond.
"Sister, it's going to be daybreak soon. Let's go back. Let's not touch anything here for now."
Emperor De looked at the moonlight.
It was already close to dawn.
They spent the entire night reading books.
Lin Jiufeng spent the night under the cherry trees.
Fortunately, Emperor De and Princess Yulin soon left and closed the doors of the Cold Palace.
They didn't bring these books with them.
Of course, even if they did, Lin Jiufeng wouldn't mind.
He had memorized the contents of the books by heart, so it didn't matter whether the books were still here or not.
"This time, no one should come here anymore. We can finally continue our cultivation in peace."
Lin Jiufeng looked at their departing backs and muttered in satisfaction.
The white cat rolled her eyes at Lin Jiufeng. "You said the same thing before."
"Just watch if you don't believe me." Lin Jiufeng was still very confident this time.
To this pair of siblings, this Cold Palace wasn't that useful anymore.
Sure enough, Lin Jiufeng was right.
For the following month, neither Princess Yulin nor Emperor De came to the Cold Palace.
The Cold Palace's peace finally returned.
Lin Jiufeng could also finally continue his routine of signing in every day.
One month later, Dachun came to see Lin Jiufeng.
He brought with him a piece of news that shocked Lin Jiufeng and the white cat.

Chapter 83: Strategy of Marriage Alliance

Dachun came to deliver food and wine and told Lin Jiufeng about the major events that happened in the Yuhua God Dynasty this month in front of the Cold Palace.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat listened quietly behind the door.
Initially, they thought that it was nothing serious.
But as they listened, they were dumbfounded.
"Dachun, what did you just say?" Lin Jiufeng asked in a low voice.
He suspected that he had misheard.
"Your Royal Highness, the unification of the Xianbei tribes in the plains has resulted in the establishment of a new country, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow."
"The Emperor of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow is called Murong Ling. He's a powerhouse that rose to prominence on the plains and is considered to be very powerful."
"He also has the support of the Essence Qi Sect. With their help, he unified the plains and he now has a million armed troops under his command. All of them are very fierce."
"It's going to be winter soon. The plains are suffering from a snowstorm that hasn't been seen in a thousand years. It's very cold. Countless sheep, cows, and even the Xianbei people froze to death."
"So this Murong Ling gave the order to invade the Yuhua God Dynasty before winter…"
"In the peace talks, Murong Ling is coercing the Yuhua God Dynasty to help them if the latter didn't want an invasion. He even said that he wanted to marry the princess of the Yuhua God Dynasty to form a good relationship."
"This is the most major event that happened in the last month…"
Dachun explained.
Lin Jiufeng frowned.
He recalled the time when he rushed to the plains and killed Martial Sage Tumen on the Celestial Mountain.
All of it was also because Martial Sage Tumen had unified the plains and wanted to invade the Yuhua God Dynasty upon the arrival of winter and heavy snow.
At that time, the court officials of the imperial court were locked in a fierce stalemate.
Each one of them had their own reasoning, and no one could convince the other on what to do.
Emperor Ming had no choice but to come and beg for Lin Jiufeng's help.
This led to the story of him entering the plains on a snowy night, killing Martial Sage Tumen on the Celestial Mountain, and entering the Life-Knowing stage with one strike.
He thought that this story would be enough to force the Xianbei people to submit
But decades later, the Xianbei tribes were united once again.
Their force was more dangerous, and their ambitions were also greater than before.
They led an army of a million and threatened to invade and plunder the Yuhua God Dynasty.
And they even shamelessly asked to marry Princess Yulin in exchange for peace.
There was only one princess in this generation of the Yuhua God Dynasty—that was Princess Yulin.
Lin Jiufeng had already met her here in the Cold Palace.
He even entered her dreams and gave her pointers for three months while also teaching her the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill, making her invincible among the Martial Sages.
It could be said that Princess Yulin was Lin Jiufeng's successor.
She was related to Lin Jiufeng by blood, and she also practiced Lin Jiufeng's Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill.
Lin Jiufeng naturally couldn't sit still and do nothing.
Lin Jiufeng would never agree to let a girl like her, who was akin to a fairy in the moonlight, marry someone from the plains in such a humiliating manner.
"How did the Yuhua God Dynasty react to this matter?"
Lin Jiufeng's expression turned slightly cold as he asked.
Dachun sighed. "Most people in the imperial court and even the public are in favor of marrying Princess Yulin off to seek respite from the threat of invasion."
Lin Jiufeng's expression turned even colder.
With a cracking sound, he crushed the cup in his hand.
"Your Royal Highness. The Xianbei of the past and the current Great Xia Dragon Sparrow are indeed quite powerful, especially the Essence Qi Sect. I don't know where they came from, but they have hundreds of Human Gods. They are all acting as a deterrent force at our borders."
"Once we reject them, the millions of people at our borders will suffer a great catastrophe."
Dachun explained the conundrum of the imperial court to Lin Jiufeng.
If they chose to fight, it would last throughout the dead of the winter, just like when Emperor Ming fell into trouble back then.
Once the war started, the number of deaths from the war would definitely be inconceivable.
Therefore, when it came to reducing losses, marrying a princess to save the people from war was a logical choice.
But that was just the rational aspect, there was still the emotional aspect to be considered.
"What did Emperor De say?" Lin Jiufeng took a deep breath.
He knew that anger was useless.
The matter wasn't so simple that it would be over with a casual refusal.
If he wanted to prevent Princess Yulin from marrying over, he had to find another way to deal with the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.
Moreover, the price of this method was small, at least within the limits of what the Yuhua God Dynasty could withstand.
"Emperor De naturally isn't agreeable about it, but the court officials are advising him to do it. It has been a long time since Emperor De has appeared publicly, and it is said that he has been cultivating like crazy." Dachun sighed.
Emperor De was truly cultivating like mad.
He wanted to improve himself to eliminate the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.
"What a simple-minded kid." Lin Jiufeng shook his head.
At this moment, Emperor De should be thinking of a solution.
He had to show perseverance and quickly make a decision, instead of hiding and cultivating.
"Emperor De hasn't said anything yet, that's why the court officials are arguing with each other. Every day, they ask His Majesty about how to handle this matter." Dachun shook his head.
"Your Royal Highness, I will continue to observe this matter. If there is any news, I will inform Your Royal Highness on my next visit."
Seeing that Lin Jiufeng had already finished eating, Dachun packed up and turned to leave.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat stood solemnly behind the door of the Cold Palace.
Meow!
The white cat called out and said, "I remember that when I first met you, you went to the plains alone. You can just go there one more time."
Lin Jiufeng's gaze was faint. He said in a deep voice, "I can go to the plains and solve this matter, but I want to see what Princess Yulin thinks about this matter."
In this matter, the only key person was Princess Yulin.
She was the one being sacrificed, so Lin Jiufeng wanted to see her.
Speak of the devil.
Princess Yulin slowly walked over and appeared outside the Cold Palace. She looked a little lonely as she took out a key and opened the gates of the Cold Palace.
Then, she walked past Lin Jiufeng and the white cat before entering the courtyard.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat once again became invisible, Princess Yulin couldn't see them at all.
"She's not in a good mood," the white cat said.
"It would be a miracle if she's in a good mood," Lin Jiufeng muttered.
Lin Jiufeng brought the white cat into the courtyard.
He then heard Princess Yulin's aggrieved voice.
"Grandpa Emperor, the imperial court is forcing me to marry that Murong Ling."
"They say if I don't marry him, I will be abandoning the millions of common people at the borders. They will be wiped out by the invasion of the Xianbei army."
"This crime is too big for me to bear."
Princess Yulin's voice was soft and weak.
She felt wronged, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Should she tell her Mother?
Her mother had always been busy dealing with the state affairs.
She couldn't possibly add to her stress and worries.
Should she tell her Brother Emperor?
Her Brother Emperor would directly disagree.
But the consequence of disagreeing was that the common people at the borders would be implicated.
There seemed to be only one path in front of her.
The marriage alliance!
Princess Yulin felt so wronged that she could only come here and pretend to talk to Grandpa Emperor.
She hid in a corner all alone and hugged her own knees, feeling aggrieved.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jiufeng's eyes flashed.
He said softly, "What's your own opinion?"
"Mysterious master!" Princess Yulin looked around in surprise.
She remembered Lin Jiufeng's voice. She had heard it in her dream for three whole months.
She looked left and right, but she didn't find anyone.
She only thought that the mysterious master's body no longer existed and that he only had his spirit left in this world.
"If there's no other choice, I will naturally marry him," Princess Yulin replied.
She was a princess and was born in the royal family.
Naturally, she had a lot of responsibilities to bear.
Although she felt wronged, she had to consider the safety of the millions of common people.
"What about the Zenith Heaven Path Sect that you told me about?"
Lin Jiufeng continued to ask.
"They said that they are no match for the Essence Qi Sect that's backing the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. They can protect the Imperial Capital, but they are unable to solve this problem," Princess Yulin said calmly.
Ever since Emperor De found out about the truth of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, they gradually became distant from each other. The Zenith Heaven Path Sect also wasn't foolish enough to become enemies with the Essence Qi Sect just to please Emperor De.
"What do you think I should do?" Princess Yulin asked Lin Jiufeng for help.
"Go to the plains," Lin Jiufeng said.
"Ah…" Princess Yulin blinked. Was this the only choice left?
"Go to the plains yourself and carve out a path of blood. Cut off the head of this so-called Great Xia Dragon Sparrow."
"Since they are coveting your beauty, then you should go there personally," Lin Jiufeng said calmly.
But his eyes were cold.
"I can't…"
Princess Yulin shook her head. She wanted to, but she was only at the Martial Sage Realm.
She could do it with her current strength before the recovery of the world's spiritual energy.
But now, with so many Martial Sages in the world and the existence of Human Gods slowly becoming so widespread, this feat was impossible for her to fulfill all alone.
"There's a sword case in the house. Bring it with you to the plains and focus on killing the enemy. Leave the rest to me," Lin Jiufeng said coldly.

Sword case?
Princess Yulin entered the inner room and saw an exquisite long box placed beside the frost jade bed.
It was entirely black, but the carvings on it were exquisite and intricate.
The carvings seemed to be similar to a mysterious talisman.
Princess Yulin wanted to lift the sword case, but she found that it was very heavy.
She used all her strength, but she still couldn't lift it.
"Use your Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill to lift the sword case," Lin Jiufeng told her.
Princess Yulin immediately followed Lin Jiufeng's instructions.
Sword energy emerged from her body and coiled around the sword case.
The sword case gradually became lighter.
She was finally able to carry it with ease.
Carrying the sword case that was about her size, Princess Yulin asked curiously, "I can go to the plains on my own just by bringing this?"
"Of course. This sword case is my armory. Go to the Plains and just focus on killing. Leave the rest to the sword case," Lin Jiufeng said.
Princess Yulin raised her head and looked at the empty surroundings.
She revealed a smile and said firmly, "Master, I shall go to the Plains right now. I won't kill people randomly. As long as I can kill that Murong Ling and make the people of the Plains afraid of me—that will be enough."
With her mysterious master supporting her, she became more confident.
Instead of getting married off to live a miserable life, she might as well give her all this time for a chance to turn her fate around.
"Go!" Lin Jiufeng replied in satisfaction.
Since she wanted to resist the opposition, he would lend her a hand.
He conquered the Plains and the Xianbei tribes decades ago.
And now, they just changed their name and they were planning to rebel once again?
This time, Lin Jiufeng could similarly suppress the Plains from the Imperial Capital.
As long as Princess Yulin was determined to move forward, he would be able to tear everything in front of her apart.
…
Princess Yulin left with the sword case.
She went to the palace and found Emperor De.
Emperor De was cultivating diligently.
He hated himself for being too weak.
"Sister, I won't marry you off. You are so powerful and talented, you are the future hope of the Yuhua God Dynasty." Emperor De said firmly when he saw Princess Yulin.
Princess Yulin smiled gently.
After experiencing these things, she had grown up and shed her previous naivety.
"Brother Emperor, I'm going to the Plains," Princess Yulin said softly.
"No, I won't allow it!" Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin in shock and shook his head.
"Are you listening to the bullcrap of those corrupt scholars? Let me tell you, they—"
Emperor De said in a hurry.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Princess Yulin.
"If I don't go to the plains this time, then wouldn't the millions of people at our borders encounter a great catastrophe?"
"I… I will think of a way!" Emperor De gritted his teeth and looked at Princess Yulin.
"Big Brother, trust me this once. In my name, spread the news to the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's Murong Ling. I will go to the Plains alone to kill him. If he wants to marry me, then he should show me his true ability." Princess Yulin smiled radiantly as she said to Emperor De.
Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin in shock.
This delicate and fragile girl was actually so domineering?
"Your cultivation base…" Emperor De said worriedly.
"Trust me, Big Brother!" Princess Yulin shouted firmly.
She stopped calling him 'Brother Emperor,' instead, she changed it to 'Big Brother'.
They were born to the same mother, and they were the ones closest to each other.
Emperor De was at a loss for words.
He felt conflicted.
"Apologize to Mother for me. I'm leaving now, there's no need to worry about me."
Princess Yulin turned around and left. This time, she didn't hide her aura at all.
The aura of a peak Martial Sage Realm expert directly rushed out of the Forbidden City and out of the Imperial Capital.
Not long after, a shocking imperial decree came from the Forbidden City.
Princess Yulin went to the Plains alone to kill the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's Murong Ling.
If Murong Ling wanted to marry her, he would have to catch her on the Plains.
This was absolutely shocking.
Marriage alliances have always been a common thing since ancient times.
It was also common for people to go back on their words in marriage alliances.
But this was unprecedented.
The princess involved in the marriage alliance was going to kill the other party by herself and even said that if he caught her—she would marry him.
As soon as this imperial decree came, the world was thrown into an uproar.
Countless people discussed it.
It was also Princess Yulin's first time officially walking into the eyes of everyone.
It was just that her image seemed blurry to the eyes.
…
The Zenith Heaven Path Sect was located on a mountain on one side of the Imperial Capital.
The Sect Master, Luo Yu, also heard the news about this imperial decree.
He totally disregarded it.
"I've seen Princess Yulin before. She's just a small cultivator in the Innate Realm, a soft and weak little girl. She's only 16 years old. I can see that she's just messing around," Sect Master Luo Yu said in disdain.
The old Daoist priest sitting opposite him chuckled. "She's just a little girl after all. She's being wishful. The crucial part is that Emperor De is also cooperating with her. This Yuhua God Dynasty really has no future of it"
"I have already started infiltrating into the imperial court of the Yuhua God Dynasty…"
"After I've controlled them, I will be able to control the cabinet ministers and that will also include Emperor De. This kid has been on guard against us recently. Could it be that he had noticed something?" Sect Master Luo Yu coldly snorted.
"It's fine. As long as we managed to dig out the powerhouses of our Zenith Heaven Path Sect, the Yuhua God Dynasty isn't worth mentioning. Have you found where our powerhouses are yet?"
The old Daoist priest waved his hand and asked.
He did not place the Yuhua God Dynasty in his eyes at all.
"I've found it…"
"More and more powerful sects are appearing in the world as we speak. Even the Essence Qi Sect powerhouses of the Plains have appeared. It has only been a few years since the recovery of the world's spiritual energy…"
"The Heavenly Dao Sect truly has gone into a decline. They are not capable enough at all," Sect Master Luo Yu said mockingly.
The old Daoist priest chuckled. "We only have this chance because the disciples from the Heavenly Dao Sect aren't good enough…"
"Otherwise, if they discovered where we were and we were really sealed by them for hundreds of years resulting in us missing a few great opportunities, that would be a huge loss to us."
Sect Leader Luo Yu nodded.
They then started to discuss other matters.
What was their opinion of Princess Yulin's actions?
They unanimously agreed that she had lost her mind doing such a stupid thing.
If she was caught, wouldn't she still need to marry Murong Ling?
Since that was the case, why didn't she save herself some face?
Why did she insist on finding trouble for herself?
When the King of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow—Murong Ling, —heard this news…
He laughed out loud in glee.
"She's indeed a tough nut to crack. Mobilize the army's powerhouses and catch her. I want to teach her a good lesson."
"You want to kill me? Are you worthy?"
Murong Ling said with a smile, but the cold light in his eyes truly looked terrifying.
This was his first time being humiliated like this by none other than a little girl.
Since she was a tough nut to crack, he decided to break her legs and lock her up at home.
After he was done playing with her, her life and death would no longer matter to him at all.
…
Most people in the world treated Princess Yulin's words as a joke.
They were all mocking Princess Yulin and Emperor De.
They were indeed siblings.
They had gone mad together.
But Princess Yulin didn't care about their thoughts
Bringing with her Lin Jiufeng's sword case, she arrived at the Plains in less than a day with the help of her cultivation base at the peak of the Martial Sage Realm.
The snowstorm arrived…
The entire plains were covered in heavy snow.
The temperature was very low. Even though she was in the Martial Sage Realm, she could still feel the coldness of the air on her skin.
Her nose had turned red from the cold, and her hands holding the sword case seemed to be trembling.
But she continued her journey with firm determination in her heart.
Her target was the capital of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, Wolf Storey Mountain!
"Master said that I only need to focus on killing the enemy and that I should leave the rest to him. I believe in Master." Princess Yulin's gaze remained steadfast.
On her first day in the Plains, she had already encountered people from the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Army.
A Human God!
He had been waiting for her long ago.
He looked at Princess Yulin indifferently as he spat in disdain, "I can see you at a glance in the vast snow. Come back to Wolf Storey Mountain with me. I don't want to hurt you."
Princess Yulin put down the sword case and calmly unsheathed her longsword.
"I have only truly used the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill that my Master imparted to me once—and it was inside my dreams. But so what if the opponent is a Human God?" Princess Yulin's eyes were resplendent, like pieces of jewelry.
Reflected within her retina were the scenes of Lin Jiufeng unsheathing his sword…
Along with his movement, Princess Yulin also unsheathed her sword.
A streak of sword energy streaked across the world and it slashed down directly.
Pu!
A streak of blood splattered across the vast expanse of snow, dying the snow crimson-red.
"Master wasn't lying when he said to me that the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill can split the sky into two and cut down gods!"
Princess Yulin exclaimed jubilantly.
Unfortunately, no one could hear her voice…
Princess Yulin lifted the sword case and continued on her journey.

Chapter 85: Thirty Thousand Miles of Sword Energy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Princess Yulin.
Everyone knew her as a delicate and weak little girl.
At the age of 16, she truly was more delicate than a flower.
There was no need for her to put any makeup on her face.
Her natural beauty was her greatest treasure and asset.
She walked on the pure white snow without leaving a trace.
Her body was as light as a swallow as she rushed towards Wolf Storey Mountain.
As for the Human God that was already covered in snow, Princess Yulin didn't feel anything at all.
She might be kind, but she wasn't stupid.
She came to the Plains to solve the problems of the Yuhua God Dynasty, the millions of common people at the borders—and also her own.
Decades ago, amidst a snowstorm like this, Lin Jiufeng also had to kill Martial Sage Tumen.
No one knew about this matter anymore.
Emperor Ming—the only one who knew about it back then—had already passed away.
The battle forced the Xianbei tribes to withdraw their ambitions for 20 years.
Now, they wanted to make a comeback.
Princess Yulin—who had received a portion of Lin Jiufeng's legacy—carried his sword case and came here.
In a situation where no one thought highly of her…
She drew her sword for the first time and killed a Human God.
This news quickly spread throughout the world.
After all, she was the only princess of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Many people still paid attention to her.
Some people solemnly vowed that once Princess Yulin arrived at the Plains, she would be arrested and sent to Wolf Storey Mountain.
Then, she would be married to the King.
After that, she would bear a child for him.
This was humiliating for the princess of a God Dynasty.
Ordinary girls that had babies out of wedlock were often discriminated against. This discrimination would be amplified given that Princess Yulin was from the royal family—if this happened, then their reputation would truly be dragged across the mud.
But the truth was too distant from everyone's expectations.
Before Princess Yulin entered the Plains, she didn't say a word.
She ignored the rumors from the outside world and focused on her objective.
After entering the Plains, she only struck once.
This strike allowed her to cross the threshold between a Martial Sage and a Human God.
Defeating the strong with the weak!
The world was shocked by this lone strike.
Was this Princess Yulin that everyone was talking about—the Innate Realm cultivator who was playing around and overestimating herself?
She entered the Plains and executed a strike and she killed a Human God with just this single strike?
Although the recovery of the world's spiritual energy had intensified, and there were more Human Gods in recent years, the world was still so vast.
Therefore, a Human God was still a rare and powerful existence.
Yet she killed him with one strike?
Ridiculous…
The world was yet again thrown into an uproar.
They were now looking at Princess Yulin in a different light.
Her trip to the Plains that they originally disregarded had now become their focus—the focus of the entire world.
When Sect Leader Luo Yu heard about this, he was dumbfounded.
Slaying a Human God with one strike, was she still that delicate Princess Yulin?
In Wolf Storey Mountain, Murong Ling flew into a rage and scolded. "Idiot!"
"He couldn't even defeat a 16-year-old girl, and not only that but he was even killed by a single strike! He has simply thrown away the prestige of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. Send out a stronger powerhouse. I want to see her here in three days."
The powerhouses of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow finally paid attention to this matter.
More footprints appeared on the pure white snow.
Princess Yulin carried a sword case while trudging towards Wolf Storey Mountain.
Wolf Storey Mountain looked majestic and magnificent.
Princess Yulin saw it from a distance.
The night had already come, and she didn't continue on her way.
Instead, she chose a cave and lit a bonfire.
The blazing bonfire raised the temperature of the cave.
Princess Yulin rubbed her hands with a flushed face. She spent her entire day walking in such coldness that it became a rare opportunity for her to kindle a bonfire to warm herself up amidst the heavy snow and cold.
"The temperature has dropped too much in this heavy snow. I'm at the Martial Sage Realm, but after walking in the snow for an entire day, my body has gone cold too. Those ordinary people are indeed pitiful living in such a harsh environment like this…" Princess Yulin lamented.
But as emotional as she was, Princess Yulin still didn't like those who wanted to live by plundering or taking the lives of others.
"I must go to Wolf Storey Mountain and kill that Murong Ling. Once he's dead, the Xianbei people will be afraid and they won't dare to harass the people of the Yuhua God Dynasty anymore," Princess Yulin said firmly.
The outside world was as black as an inkstone.
From time to time, mournful cries could be heard along with quick and violent trumpets.
A cold voice came from the snowstorm.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to kill him!" A Human God from the Plains walked over.
"You truly cannot kill him. Just be obedient and become our King's plaything."
A second Human God walked over.
"It's been a long time since we became Human Gods. In fact, we are the first batch of people to become Human Gods, not that clown in the Imperial Capital of your Yuhua God Dynasty who doesn't even dare to show his face." The third Human God ridiculed.
The three Human Gods arrived together.
On the snowy night, while braving the wind and snow, they found Princess Yulin.
The three of them were very powerful Human Gods.
They were more powerful than the Human God that she met and ended.
The man that Princess Yulin killed was a newly-minted Human God.
These three were Human Gods that ascended into the Human God Realm a long time ago.
Each of them was formidable, and they all surrounded Princess Yulin.
Princess Yulin looked at them and her heart couldn't help but sink.
She was only a peak Martial Sage Realm, how could she possibly deal with three Human Gods on her own?
She placed her hand on the sword case.
This was her only source of confidence.
"Your Royal Highness, please come out! Come back with us to Wolf Storey Mountain and marry the King." The first Human God calmly announced.
He moved and blocked Princess Yulin's escape route.
"We won't hurt you, but we hope that you won't fail to appreciate our kindness."
The second Human God threatened.
"Every year when it snows, many people will freeze to death. The results of the negotiations with the Yuhua God Dynasty this year will depend on your performance today."
The third Human God sneered.
Three Human Gods sealed the exit.
They stared at Princess Yulin, making her hair stand on end.
Rumble!
The snowstorm outside became more rapid and violent.
The air had become even colder, it seemed to be symbolizing death itself.
Princess Yulin suddenly recalled Lin Jiufeng's words.
She only needed to focus on killing the enemy and that she should leave the rest to the sword case.
Princess Yulin's eyes lit up.
Thinking of Lin Jiufeng, the fear and the coldness in her body slowly disappeared.
This sword case was given to Princess Yulin by Lin Jiufeng.
It contained all of his treasured swords.
This was her source of confidence!
"I reject every condition that you lot have offered."
Princess Yulin shook her head directly, then she decisively opened the sword case.
Buzz!
The long swords in the sword case emerged.
They all exuded a sharp and chaotic aura.
The treasured swords had been nurtured.
Since then, they had only become even stronger.
Just as she opened the sword case, a faint shadow appeared behind Princess Yulin.
It was Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul which he had taken out and placed in the sword case.
The sword case opened and his Divine Soul appeared.
"Master!" Princess Yulin shouted in surprise.
This was the first time that she saw Lin Jiufeng's appearance.
As she thought, he was indeed an otherworldly expert…
A powerful and fierce man.
"Look carefully. I taught you before that the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill can split the sky into two and cut down gods."
"You killed a Human God with your own strength, but you have no idea how to split the sky."
"But today, let me show you the true power of the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword!"
Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul grabbed the Demon Slaying Sword from the sword case.
Then…
He unsheathed the sword!
The resulting sword energy was 30,000 miles in length.
"The world is vast and I only have this one sword…"
"However, my sword energy is 30,000 miles long!" Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul fiercely announced.
The three Human Gods looked at the sword energy that seemed to split the sky into two.
Indeed, it was 30,000 miles in length.
They were beyond dumbfounded.

Chapter 86: Drawing the Sword to Become a Human God
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the land basked with darkness, snowflakes fell one after another onto the ground.
It was as if the heavens had sprinkled a dash of snowflakes to cover the filth of the world with its pure white sheen.
Despite such a snowy and cold night, the land within a radius of tens of thousands of miles around Wolf Storey Mountain remained active. The people in the Wolf Storey Mountain were all in their rooms, surrounding their stoves while chatting.
They all looked forward to their gains after plundering the Yuhua God Dynasty.
But no one expected that a sword energy would suddenly shoot over from afar.
Like a thunderclap, it streaked across the sky.
The cold sword energy illuminated the night, its brightness was reflected within the retinas of those that witnessed its fleeting might.
They seemed to have seen the purest thing in the world.
It was so beautiful, flawless, and surreal.
The whiteness of the snowflakes couldn't compare to this sword energy.
Countless Xianbei people witnessed this sword energy that spanned 30,000 miles.
Its brightness lasted for a long time.
Every light on Wolf Storey Mountain was instantly kindled.
Countless people ran out and watched in surprise.
"Sword God!"
The Xianbei people fell to their knees under this sword energy.
On the other hand, the complexions of some of the powerhouses changed drastically.
They sensed that something was amiss and they hurried on their way.
30,000 miles wasn't a long distance for a Human God.
They arrived in less than 15 minutes.
But what greeted their eyes made the Xianbei powerhouses tremble.
The biggest mountain in front of Wolf Storey Mountain had been cut off at this moment, the top half had crashed onto the ground.
The cut was extremely smooth and flat.
The heavy winds whistled.
Against the background of this sword energy, the whistling winds themselves seemed terrifying, making one tremble in fear.
The snow tonight was especially cold and fierce.
A Human God discovered the cave and saw the extinguished bonfire.
His gaze was faint as he looked at the spot where Princess Yulin had previously sat.
Here, the residual charm of the sword energy still lingered.
It made his entire body feel as if he had fallen into an icy cavern.
The storm outside continued.
He couldn't help but raise his head to take a look. His eyes focused as he looked in the direction of Princess Yu Lin's position.
He happened to see the beautiful and flawless sword energy that remained in the air.
"Dead," the Human God said with bitterness in his mouth.
He discovered the three Human Gods that had surrounded this place.
They were vaporized by the sword energy.
Not even their ashes were left behind.
But their auras remained.
As the snowstorm swept across, their auras became fainter and fainter.
After a while, they disappeared.
The few Human Gods that rushed over looked at each other.
"Just how powerful is this princess?" A Human God swallowed his saliva and asked in shock.
"Why do I feel that something big is about to happen?" Another Human God asked worriedly.
The others shook their heads, unable to answer this Human God's question.
On this snowy night, some were speechless, some were shocked, some were angry, and some were puzzled.
After Lin Jiufeng's strike, Princess Yulin saw the three Human Gods melting into the void.
She knew that Lin Jiufeng's strike just now was for her to see.
Killing these Human Gods was just something he casually did along with the process of displaying that particular move to her.
The Human Gods were like ants in front of Lin Jiufeng.
'Master… Just how powerful are you?'
"And why does Brother Emperor look so similar to you?'
Princess Yulin wasn't stupid.
After seeing Lin Jiufeng, she easily thought of the connection between her brother and him.
Lin Jiufeng and Emperor Yuan looked incredibly similar.
Even Emperor Yuan's son—Lin Tianyuan—didn't look that similar to Lin Jiufeng.
But unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan's grandson looked very similar to Lin Jiufeng.
'I will set this aside for now and think about it in the future. With Master's help this time, I will definitely be able to solve this problem.' Princess Yulin thought.
Those who worked hard enough would definitely be rewarded.
Thus, she continued on her journey to Wolf Storey Mountain.
As she walked, she was also trying to comprehend the move Lin Jiufeng displayed just now.
Brilliant and invincible, that lone move alone made one tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Princess Yulin vividly remembered how Lin Jiufeng executed that move.
Slashing the heavens, splitting the sky into two, and cutting down gods.
The Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill was worthy of its title as one of the strongest sword techniques in the world.
With her mind focused on comprehending that move earlier, Princess Yulin seemed to have forgotten the cold in this harsh environment. As she walked, she couldn't even feel the cold snowflakes landing on her skin.
It was because as her understanding of that move grew, the chilling sword energy in her body also grew more powerful as it shot out and protected her against the cold.
"From now on, you must constantly unsheathe the sword in your heart. Draw, slash, draw, slash, and accumulate your aura that is constantly growing stronger as we speak. If you can do this 10,000 times before you arrive at Wolf Storey Mountain, you would achieve the minimum standard required to seamlessly execute this sword technique," Lin Jiufeng said.
Princess Yulin's eyes lit up as he nodded. "Yes, Master."
Draw the sword, slash out.
Draw the sword, slash out.
Draw the sword, slash out.
Princess Yulin walked in the snow.
She didn't fly, nor did she use any movement techniques to move faster.
Every step she took created a pit in the snow.
She spent most of her time drawing her sword in her heart.
Every stroke required her to treat it with all her heart and soul.
She could slash out the sword if she didn't make a single mistake.
One sword after another, it never stopped.
Princess Yulin worked very hard.
She traveled through the night.
The journey to Wolf Store Mountain should've only lasted a short while considering her cultivation base.
But she walked for an entire night without ever reaching it.
Traversing in the snow, practicing the sword in her heart…
With a sword case on her back, the delicate and beautiful Princess Yulin remained stubborn deep down in her bones.
She continued to walk in peace and determination.
But the outside world was thrown into an uproar by that sword energy last night.
The 30,000 miles long sword energy shocked the world and the Plains at the same time.
Overnight, the news spread like wildfire.
In the Forbidden City of the Yuhua God Dynasty, Emperor De was shocked upon receiving the news.
Then, he started to laugh out loud.
His younger sister was indeed formidable.
The court officials were also shocked by this news.
Entering the Plains in the daytime, she killed a Human God.
At night, she killed three Human Gods.
She even slashed out a sword energy that was 30,000 miles in length.
Was she still the Princess Yulin who looked very cute when she smiled?
The Sect Leader and the old Daoist priest of Zenith Heaven Path Sect were both speechless.
Two pieces of news came in a day, each more shocking than the other.
That Princess Yulin whom everyone thought was overestimating her own capabilities had stunned the world with her own performance.
"There must be someone guiding her from behind. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do such a thing!" Sect Master Luo Yu said through gritted teeth.
The old Daoist priest nodded and asked, "Who do you think it is?"
"That hidden old fellow in the Imperial Capital. He was the one who dealt with the demons five years ago. It must be him!" Sect Leader Luo Yu said firmly.
"It seems that he is very powerful," The old Daoist priest said coldly, "we must find him. He will be an obstacle to our goal of swallowing up the Yuhua God Dynasty."
Sect Leader Luo Yu nodded. "I will…"
…
As the world was discussing Princess Yulin…
She had already arrived at the foot of Wolf Storey Mountain.
"Since ancient times, several generals have fought their way here. They intimidated Xianbei and battered them up until they couldn't even lift their heads."
"But no woman has ever done it before."
"Today, I—Lin Yulin—will be the first to do so!"
Princess Yulin's face turned red from excitement.
She was still cute and lovable.
A 16-year-old girl couldn't be sexy, but she was akin to that of a fairy.
Her words rang loud and clear with a clear-cut determination to follow through with her goal.
On the base of Wolf Storey Mountain, Princess Yulin carried the sword case on her back.
Then, she took out her own sword from her waist.
Her gaze was firm.
Then, she drew the sword!
With her eyebrows raised sharply, she slashed out!
After drawing the sword 10,000 times in her heart—the aura she accumulated all this while directly burst out.
Boom!
On the base of Wolf Storey Mountain, Princess Yulin stepped into the Human God Realm.

Chapter 87: Slashing the Wolf Storey Mountain
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the foot of Wolf Storey Mountain, Princess Yulin drew her sword, raised her eyebrows, and slashed out before stepping into the Human God Realm.
Her soaring sword energy swept through Wolf Storey Mountain, alarming everyone on the mountain.
"It's that princess. She's here!"
"What a powerful aura, she's at the Human God Realm."
"She's just a Human God! How did she manage to kill three Human Gods and melted them with a single sword energy that spanned for 30,000 miles?"
"Inform the King! He will capture and bring her into his harem! He shall give birth to his children in droves!"
…
On Wolf Storey Mountain, countless discussions were made.
The huge Wolf Storey Mountain could easily accommodate a million people.
But now, they were all alarmed by Princess Yulin's sword energy.
Her boundless sword energy continued to become even stronger.
It rose and lifted Princess Yulin into the air, the scene made her look as if she was a Martial Goddess.
She raised her head, her eyes were bright and full of spirit.
Who said that women were inferior to men?
She—Princess Yulin—was also a cultivation genius.
In just half a year, she went from a princess at the Innate Realm to a Human God.
Although it was mainly because her master taught her well, it would still be useless if she didn't have enough talent.
Princess Yulin's confidence was greatly boosted at this moment.
Rumble!
Her clothes fluttered and her hair danced in the wind.
The aura around her was tremendous and vast, making her look valiant and brave.
She spread her arms and the sword energy that seemed to be able to pierce the sky appeared behind her once more.
It suppressed the entire Wolf Storey Mountain.
"How insolent!"
On the summit of the Wolf Storey Mountain was a white palace.
Not far from the white palace was a red palace.
The two biggest factions of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow lived in these two separate palaces.
The King of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow lived in the White Palace.
He handled the state affairs and managed the huge Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.
The people of the Essence Qi Sect lived in the Red Palace, presiding over the rituals, treatments, and the preaching of the Dao in Xianbei.
This was the unchanging theme of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow…
The White Palace handled the state affairs and the Red Palace focused on the Dao.
The cold shout just now came from the White Palace.
King of the White Palace—Murong Ling!
He saw just how bold this Princess Yulin was.
She actually dared to raise her sword energy against the Wolf Storey Mountain.
This was a blatant provocation to the Xianbei people.
In the hearts of the Xianbei people, Wolf Storey Mountain was their sole holy land.
This was also the reason why the various powerhouses from the dynasties of the Central Plains wanted to fight their way to Wolf Storey Mountain and intimidate the Xianbei people.
But 99.9% of them were killed by the latter.
And now, Princess Yulin was also challenging the Xianbei people.
As Murong Ling shouted, a boundless suppressive aura came crashing down.
It was as if the sky itself had collapsed onto the earth down below, causing it to crack.
"A Human God trying to fight against the Wolf Storey Mountain?"
"I shall suppress you and catch you here to bear children for me. With your talent, it will be a huge loss if you don't give birth to more than 10 or maybe even 20 children."
Murong Ling's large hand came down.
It carried with it his majestic and boundless aura as well as the piercing cold winds.
Princess Yulin's face turned slightly cold. She looked at the imposing aura that was so vast that it seemed to be able to completely cover the sky.
She stopped in her tracks.
"Don't stop. Continue forwards. You must do this all the way in one go."
Lin Jiufeng has been silently paying attention all this while.
At this crucial moment, he reminded Princess Yulin.
Whenever one was in the middle of an activity with the knowledge that they would inevitably fail, it was better if they might as well go all-in for a chance to win.
If she retreated now, she would really be at the mercy of others.
She would be unable to control her own fate by then.
Princess Yulin clenched her fist and screamed.
The aura around her instantly rumbled and emerged.
"You want me to bear children for you? Hope for that in your next life!"
Princess Yulin soared into the sky, bringing with her the boundless sword energies she had accumulated on her journey.
Thousands of terrifying sword energies accompanied Princess Yulin as she charged upwards.
She was determined, unafraid of the consequences.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The air itself exploded as an incomparably terrifying shockwave directly spread for hundreds of miles with Princess Yulin at its epicenter.
"An ant trying to shake a tree… You're overestimating yourself!" Murong Ling snorted coldly.
His face was cold as he pushed down with one hand and stood in front of the White Palace.
He looked down on the people of the world like a lofty god.
From the beginning till the end, he remained arrogant.
"You are a Human God. I am also a Human God too. I am more than enough to kill you!"
Princess Yulin carried thousands of sword energies with her as she flew over.
The scene was like a meteor shower, but she was the brightest of them all.
And this meteor shower appeared in the Mortal Realm to kill the arrogant Murong Ling.
"Thousands of years ago, I was the brightest star on the Plains…"
"I broke through to the Human God Realm in an era where the spiritual energy in the world was in decline…"
"Then, I sealed myself for 3,000 years and emerged once more in this brand new era."
"I have the aptitude to become an Immortal and I have the future to become one of the Supremacies. For me to fancy you is a blessing that you won't be able to cultivate in nine lifetimes."
Murong Ling's face was cold and proud as he revealed his origins.
"No matter how tough of a nut you are to crack, you'll bow down to me!"
Murong Ling suddenly clapped with both of his palms.
Boom!
The mountains collapsed and the earth itself split.
The sky itself seemed to have exploded, the scene was pure chaos and pandemonium.
The impact of his attack directly swept across everything.
"We are both Human Gods…"
"Our realms might be the same, but our pedigrees are different!"
"I am the sky, and you are the earth. We cannot be compared to each other at all!"
Murong Ling sneered as he stood on the summit of the Wolf Storey Mountain. Both of his hands were on his back, making him look like a wise powerhouse.
He was full of confidence!
Rumble!
Princess Yulin, who was charging with her sword energies, suffered a head-on attack.
Her sword energies collided with Murong Ling's aura.
Under the gazes of millions, cracking sounds echoed non-stop.
Her sword energies couldn't compare to Murong Ling's aura at all.
The earth-shattering force directly shattered all of Princess Yulin's sword energies.
Then, it came crashing down.
Just this one strike was enough to make Princess Yulin's cultivation base explode.
She would directly be crippled by this attack.
Then, she would become a machine whose sole purpose was to give birth.
Facing the attack head-on, Princess Yulin even found it hard to control her own body.
Fragments of sword energies danced in her eyes. Endless snow accompanied this terrifying force as it swept towards her, transforming into a snowstorm-like evil dragon that bared its fangs and brandished its claws.
The evil dragon was huge as it charged over, wanting to devour and crush her directly with its jaws.
She couldn't move at all.
She was just going with the flow.
The gap between them was really as huge as Murong Ling had stated.
Princess Yulin looked on in despair.
The evil dragon was about to approach and devour her in one bite.
Clang!
At this moment, the sword case on her back fell off.
Amidst the wind and snow that filled the sky and in front of Murong Ling's attack…
It swiftly opened.
Beams of sword light shot out.
These sword lights had a cold white color.
Unlike the whiteness of the snowflakes, its whiteness was similar to the color of bones.
Beams of sword light weaved with each other, forming a sword formation that supported Princess Yulin's body.
The massive evil dragon charged down and opened its mouth to bite.
"Slash!"
365 sword lights exploded at the same time.
When they converged, they directly pierced through the sky and they also directly shattered Murong Ling's attack.
Rumble!
The sword slashed the evil dragon and forced it to explode.
Princess Yulin's eyes lit up.
She happily called out. "Master!"
At the crucial moment, her master saved her one more.
"I'm teaching you a sword technique called the Death Bone Sword Technique. Feel it with your heart." Lin Jiufeng's voice sounded in Princess Yulin's ear.
Princess Yulin immediately focused on sensing it.
Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul controlled the bone swords and repeated Princess Yulin's actions just now.
Soaring to the skies!
The difference was that Princess Yulin failed despite carrying thousands of sword energies.
But Lin Jiufeng only carried 365 strands of sword energy, yet they were invincible.
They slashed the stars and the moon before directly arriving in front of the White Palace.
"Sword, come!"
Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul instantly possessed Princess Yulin as he shouted with her voice.
A sound that reverberated throughout the Plains summoned the bone swords.
Click!
Click!
Click!
The bone swords actually began to fuse, each of them becoming one.
Together, like parts from the same machine, they formed a lone and terrifying bone sword.
Lin Jiufeng controlled Princess Yulin's body and used her hand to hold this large and broad bone sword.
Then, he slashed down with all of his might!
Boom!!!
At this moment, everyone in the Plains felt this extremely terrifying sword energy.
Their faces abruptly changed, including Murong Ling's.
His face turned ugly and green
Dong, dong, dong!
The bone sword landed, but it didn't kill Murong Ling.
Instead, it directly split Wolf Storey Mountain into two.
The earth shook and the mountain itself quivered.
The entire Plains trembled.
Even those tens of thousands of miles away from the Yuhua God Dynasty's borders felt the shockwave running through the earth.
In the eyes of the millions of Xianbei people, 'Princess Yulin' had split the Wolf Storey Mountain in two with a single stroke of her sword.
The White and Red Palace were now separated from each other.

Chapter 88: The Violent Princess Yulin
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The White Palace and the Red Palace of the Wolf Storey Mountain were the spiritual totems of the Xianbei people since they were built.
Of course, the Wolf Storey Mountain was also their holy land.
Countless people wanted to enter the Wolf Storey Mountain to pay their respects to the White Palace and the Red Palace.
The countless Xianbei people dreamt of being a member of the White and Red Palace on the summit of the Wolf Storey Mountain.
But tonight…
Under the gazes of the millions of Xianbei people, their dreams—the White Palace and the Red Palace—were split apart and away from each other by a single sword strike.
Even the huge Wolf Storey Mountain was split into two.
The shocking bone sword slashed out a shocking strike.
The entire Plains shook.
The majestic Wolf Storey Mountain was split into two.
The eerie sword energy that lingered could kill a Martial Sage and deter Human Gods.
The scene thoroughly shook Murong Ling to the core.
He looked at Princess Yulin in disbelief. His eyes were filled with shock.
His pride and his arrogance were shattered by this lone strike.
"Didn't you just become a Human God?" Murong Ling gritted his teeth.
His body was trembling and cold sweat drenched his back.
He was scared.
Fortunately, it wasn't him who was struck by the sword strike just now.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be alive.
Under the might of that sword, he felt that even if he broke through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, he still wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Princess Yulin looked at Murong Ling coldly.
Lin Jiufeng's words echoed in her mind.
"Go and kill him yourself."
Princess Yulin said in surprise, "Master… I'm not his match."
"Use the bone sword. How much did you comprehend just now?" Lin Jiufeng asked.
"Less than 10%?" Princess Yulin hesitated and said.
Accurately speaking, it was less than one in ten thousand.
Well, that was also less than 10%, so she wasn't lying.
"It's enough. Use this Death Bone Sword Technique that you've comprehended to kill him."
Lin Jiufeng said lightly.
Princess Yulin could now control her body.
She held the bone sword…
The great bone sword that was many times taller than her.
She held the bone sword like a little girl carrying the world's most powerful treasured sword.
The little girl treated it like a prized treasure.
She looked at Murong Ling, her eyes turning cold.
"You used the millions of people living on the borders of the Yuhua God Dynasty to threaten my Brother Emperor for your own agenda. You even want me to marry you, so you can turn me into a machine whose sole purpose is to give birth…"
"Before I came here to the Plains, I've already said that I will kill you. I will return the humiliation you gave me in one go!"
As Princess Yulin's voice fell, the bone sword in her hand slashed down heavily.
She closed her eyes as she recalled Lin Jiufeng's strike just now.
She recalled the entire process.
It was deeply and vividly imprinted in her mind.
She would never forget it for the rest of her life.
She said that she couldn't comprehend even 10% of it, but she actually didn't comprehend anything at all.
She only remembered the scene of Lin Jiufeng executing it.
She just copied his movement.
Just like that, she executed the Death Bone Sword Technique.
Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul watched from the void and he fell into deep thought.
It could be said that it looked like the Death Bone Sword Technique, but at the same time, it lacked something crucial that would truly turn it into the Death Bone Sword Technique.
But the bone sword made out of 364 bone swords really did display its might.
Rumble!
The void itself was crushed by the sword.
Countless cracks appeared in the void.
Click, click, click…
Murong Ling was so terrified and frightened that he screamed.
"Save me!"
He was the Emperor of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, the King of Xianbei.
Now that he was in danger, why was the Essence Qi Sect absent?
The Essence Qi Sect was the same as Murong Ling.
They came from the previous era.
Because they were factions from the Plains, there were no records of them in the books given by the Holy Maiden, so Lin Jiufeng didn't know about them at all.
Of course, even if he knew, Lin Jiufeng wouldn't care.
He would still let Princess Yulin enter the Plains to challenge them.
Essence Qi Cannon!
Right after Murong Ling shouted for help—an old man flew out from the Red Palace that had been separated from the White Palace.
He was dressed in exotic clothes that represented the plains as his white beard fluttered in the wind.
He raised his hand and executed a terrifying move.
It was one of the ultimate techniques of the Essence Qi Sect—Essence Qi Cannon!
Boom!
The Essence Qi Cannon was like a golden sun.
It directly came over and collided against the bone sword.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
But the bone sword didn't care about this at all.
The Essence Qi Cannon crashed against it and when it touched the bone sword, it directly exploded.
The snowflakes in the air were torn violently torn apart.
But the bone sword's momentum never slowed down.
It continued to slash towards Murong Ling!
Murong Ling quickly moved, wanting to escape.
"Freeze the void!" Lin Jiufeng whispered into Princess Yu Lin's ear.
Princess Yulin shouted, "Die!"
True Qi surged from her body and they all surged into the bone sword.
Ding!
The bone sword was also very terrifying.
Princess Yulin's True Qi transformed into a sword energy that interweaved in the air.
Its boundless might surrounded the area and froze the void.
No matter how Murong Ling tried to escape, he remained trapped in the quagmire of frozen void.
He couldn't run away.
"You're going too far!" Murong Ling roared.
Both shocked and angry.
He no longer hid his strength.
His cultivation base which was at the peak of the Human God Realm—Nirvana—erupted all of a sudden. He raised his hand and struck.
Boom!
His counterattack was powerful, but he was facing both the bone sword and the Death Bone Sword Technique.
Lin Jiufeng didn't use this sword technique a lot.
It has been decades since he signed in and obtained it, but he had only officially used it twice since then.
The first time was more than five years ago.
During the chaos caused by the demons' invasion.
That time, Lin Jiufeng summoned the bone swords with a call and displayed the terrifying might of the Death Bone Sword Technique.
The second time today.
Using Princess Yulin's hand, he split the Wolf Storey Mountain into two and separated the White Palace and the Red Palace in one strike.
The Death Bone Sword Technique was too powerful.
Lin Jiufeng usually didn't have the chance to use it, so he imparted it to Princess Yulin.
Seeing Princess Yulin's execution of the Death Bone Sword Technique, no matter what angle he looked at it. It was nowhere close to the real deal. But just by copying Lin Jiufeng's actions earlier, she actually managed to stir the bone sword into action.
She used the Death Bone Sword Technique with her cultivation base that had just reached the Human God Realm. Together with the bone sword that cooperated with her, she directly clashed with Murong Ling who was at the fourth stage of the Human God Realm, Nirvana.
This was a showdown between Princess Yulin and Murong Ling.
It was a grudge between them.
They had to settle this themselves.
Thus, Lin Jiufeng didn't participate.
He looked at the old man from the Essence Qi Sect.
The old man wanted to intervene and attack Princess Yulin from the outside.
This old man was very powerful.
Just like Murong Ling, he was at the fourth stage of the Human God Realm, the Nirvana stage.
If he attacked and coordinated with Murong Ling, Princess Yulin would definitely be disadvantaged.
Hence, Lin Jiufeng flicked his finger.
Boom!
An ethereal sword energy exploded and directly smashed against the old man's chest.
The impact caused the old man's body to tremble.
He spat a mouthful of blood as a large hole appeared in his chest.
His heart was instantly shattered by Lin Jiufeng's sword energy.
The old man looked around in confusion.
Who killed him?
Princess Yulin?
She was fighting Murong Ling…
Both of them were fighting fiercely against each other in the air.
Amidst the snowstorm, Princess Yulin held a ten-meter-long bone sword in both hands as she continuously sent slashes after slashed to Murong Ling. The chilling sword energy forced Murong Ling to defend himself endlessly.
He was at a disadvantage and in grave danger.
Murong Ling was both furious and humiliated.
He wanted to fight back, but Princess Yulin seemed to be even more furious than him.
"You want me to be a machine that will endlessly give birth to your children? Let's first see if you can survive as I'll smash your head into pieces!"
"When I left the Imperial Capital, I said that I will kill you. No one can save you today, I said it!"
"Die!"
He didn't expect that the usually gentle and weak Princess Yulin would become so violent after she became determined to kill.
She hugged the bone sword and used it to smash Murong Ling.
That's right…
The bone sword in her hand had already become an iron rod.
She wasn't using it like a sword, but as a blunt weapon to smash.
If a clean hit landed, Murong Ling would be either dead or crippled.
Yet, the shadow of the Death Bone Sword Technique could still be seen in the way she flailed it around.
The bone sword also cooperated with her and increased its might.
Lin Jiufeng's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Princess Yulin changed his Death Bone Sword Technique and turned it into a hooligan-like one.
If someone were to tell Lin Jiufeng that this was his Death Bone Sword Technique…
He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
"Die!" Princess Yulin's attack finally struck Murong Ling.
He dodged as fast as he could, but in the air, the undulations in the void that the bone sword carried with it as it moved proved far too strong for him to handle.
Boom!
His body was directly turned into a pink mist as a clean hit with the Death Bone Sword Technique landed.
Murong Ling has died!
The expert from the Essence Qi Sect looked at this scene in a daze.
He closed his eyes indignantly as his body swayed left and right before he fell straight down from the sky.
He was immediately buried into the pure white snow upon impact.
And he had no idea who killed him.

Chapter 89: Reaction from All Sides
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Princess Yulin killed Murong Ling, the Emperor of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and the King of the Xianbei people.
An Elder of the Essence Qi Sect also died under mysterious circumstances.
Even more ridiculous was that she even split the entire Wolf Storey Mountain into two and separated both the White and Red Palaces from each other with a single stroke of her sword.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that her destructive capabilities were similar to that of a natural disaster.
But in reality, she was just a little girl.
A 16-year-old girl.
Princess Yulin!
The only princess of the Yuhua God Dynasty—her performance greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone.
Her petite body, delicate face, and snow-white skin symbolized who she was.
Yes, she was a gentle, beautiful, yet weak little girl.
But now, no one believed that this was the case.
A gentle and weak girl could wield a monstrous bone sword and smash Murong Ling with it to death?
A gentle and weak girl could separate the White and Red Palaces apart from each other with a single stroke of her sword?
A gentle and weak girl could split the Wolf Storey Mountain, completely separating the holy land of the Xianbei people into two?
The millions of Xianbei people were rendered speechless.
No one dared to step forward, including the Essence Qi Sect.
The Essence Qi Sect lived in the Red Palace, but they didn't dare to say a word for fear of incurring the displeasure of Princess Yulin.
If they were to be struck by her sword, the Red Palace would be in mortal danger.
Snowflakes fell one after another.
Princess Yulin's face was flushed red.
She held the bone sword in both hands and slowly looked around.
"Is… is it over?"
It was only at this moment that Princess Yulin came to her senses.
Recalling her crazy actions, her small face couldn't help but turn even redder.
Her eyes darted around, wanting to see if her mysterious master was still around.
She had vented her anger. Her upbringing, her age, and her inexperience told her that—
Her actions just now had been too crazy.
And her master saw it too!
Carrying a bone sword that was more than ten meters long, she stepped into the air to smash and slash.
Back then, she felt great.
But now…
She was feeling shy.
Her neck, ears, and even her entire body turned red from shame.
She looked as if the heat from her embarrassment would cook her entire body.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jiufeng shook his head with a smile.
This descendant of his was quite adorable.
[Do you want to Sign-In at the Wolf Storey Mountain?]
A line of words appeared before Lin Jiufeng's eyes.
"Sign in!" Lin Jiufeng didn't expect that his Divine Soul could sign in too.
He agreed decisively.
It would be a waste not to do it.
[Sign-In successful. Received Dark Mandara Technique!]
Lin Jiufeng frowned.
A stream of information entered his Divine Soul.
He gritted his teeth while the knowledge was being absorbed and assimilated by his brain.
"As expected, my Divine Soul is still weaker than my body. It takes a lot of effort for me to absorb the things that I receive from signing in using just my Divine Soul." Lin Jiufeng lamented.
The Dark Mandara Technique was the ultimate technique of the Essence Qi Sect.
There was no other technique that was on par with it in the Essence Qi Sect.
The Essence Qi Cannon was also one of the Essence Qi Sect's techniques, but the Essence Qi Cannon was just an ordinary Top Grade technique.
The Dark Mandala Technique was the best.
"Strictly speaking, the Dark Mandara is only half of the technique…"
"There's also the Light Mandara Technique. When combined, they would become the Great Mandara Technique that can contain both dark and light attributes." Lin Jiufeng felt that it was a pity.
Why did the system not give him the other half of the technique?
But obtaining the Dark Mandara Technique was already pretty good.
This was a Top Grade technique.
Even the core members of the Essence Qi Sect weren't qualified to cultivate this technique.
Lin Jiufeng put it away and planned to wait until he received the Light Mandara Technique before merging them into one to form the Great Mandara Technique.
With this in mind, Lin Jiufeng's mood improved.
He looked at Princess Yulin.
Right now, she looked like a little red lobster.
White smoke rose from the top of her head.
Pfft!
Lin Jiufeng found it funny.
With a thought, the huge bone sword immediately disintegrated.
White bone swords appeared one after another and they all floated into the sword case.
Lin Jiufeng also entered the sword case and left a message to Princess Yulin.
"Go back. Put the sword case back to its original place."
Princess Yulin nodded amidst her embarrassment.
She knew that her master wouldn't mention this matter again.
Thanks to this, her embarrassment was greatly reduced.
She was brought up to be a dignified woman in the future. Considering her upbringing, it would be difficult for her to just ignore everything that had happened.
Luckily, her master stopped talking about it.
As a result, she didn't have to find a hole to hide into.
Picking up the sword case, Princess Yulin didn't even say anything to the people closely observing her.
She flew into the sky and disappeared from the Wolf Storey Mountain.
The people of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow watched as Princess Yulin left.
They didn't dare to chase after her.
Looking at the broken Wolf Storey Mountain and the separated White and Red Palaces, all of these told them something…
Don't chase after her.
Otherwise, they might not even know how they died.
"It's over. The Xianbei people will have an even harder time this winter."
"I wonder if the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow will fall into pieces. If it does, Xianbei will be in turmoil for a while again." Someone sighed.
"Who would've thought that a 16-year-old princess would be so terrifying?"
"Yes… The people of the Central Plains are too terrifying. She left without saying anything just now. She must be silently warning us not to invade the borders again."
"Even if we want to invade now, we don't have the guts and strength to do so."
The Xianbei people discussed the impact that this matter had on them.
The impact was huge.
It was even bigger than when Lin Jiufeng killed Martial Sage Tumen decades ago.
The Xianbei people were originally in high spirits.
They thought that they could definitely take advantage of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
This was why they had the courage to offend the Yuhua God Dynasty.
But now, they all regretted their decision.
If they didn't provoke the Yuhua God Dynasty, they wouldn't have attracted that god of slaughter—Princess Yulin.
…
Princess Yulin returned in a hurry.
After successfully breaking through to the Human God Realm, her speed had increased by several folds.
Without stopping to take a break, she rushed to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty from the Wolf Storey Mountain.
One day was enough!
But the speed at which the news of her victory was transmitted using all sorts of secret techniques was even faster than her—a Human God.
Just as she stepped into the borders of the Yuhua God Dynasty, the scouts and spies wrote down the news and relayed it to the countless people who wanted to know of her whereabouts.
Imperial Capital, Forbidden City.
Emperor De laughed out loud.
He held the secret letter as he muttered in excitement, "Mother, take a look!"
"It's written very clearly in this secret letter that my younger sister broke the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow by herself and killed the King—Murong Ling! She even split Wolf Storey Mountain into two. The White Palace and the Red Palace were also separated with a stroke of her sword."
"She's really incredible!"
The Empress Dowager was surprised. "When did Yulin become so powerful?"
"I don't know. When she comes back, you can ask her yourself." Emperor De also felt strange.
He wondered if it had something to do with the Cold Palace.
But he wasn't as reckless as he was in the past anymore.
He didn't plan to tell anyone about this until he had thoroughly investigated everything.
"Then I shall wait for her return." The Empress Dowager nodded.
…
Zenith Heaven Path Sect.
Sect Master Luo Yu looked at the message sent by their spies.
He was rendered speechless by its contents.
"That Essence Qi Sect is one of the top factions of the Plains, yet they were actually turned upside down by a 16-year-old girl?" Sect Master Luo Yu was thoroughly dumbfounded.
He has been continuously slapped in the face by Princess Yulin.
Every prediction that he made against her turned out to be incorrect.
Seeing the news about Princess Yulin's victory, he felt incredibly vexed.
"We must investigate the person behind this Princess Yulin…"
"He will be a serious problem to us," the old Daoist priest said solemnly.
"I know…" Sect Leader Luo Yu took a deep breath.
He had already made a few mistakes.
This time, there would be no more mistakes.

Chapter 90: A Quiet Return
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The people of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect were now looking at the matter at hand with the attention it deserved.
Especially Sect Leader Luo Yu.
He had personally seen Princess Yulin a few months ago.
At that time, Princess Yulin was only an Innate Realm cultivator.
She was very pure and kind, just like the ideal younger sister.
In the past, Princess Yulin didn't like to cultivate.
She wasn't as obsessed with individual strength like Emperor De.
But ever since she discovered the secret of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, she became more diligent in her cultivation.
Then, with Lin Jiufeng's help, she became akin to that of a carp leaping over the dragon's gate.
Outsiders couldn't see Lin Jiufeng's contributions, they only thought that Princess Yulin was a peerless genius who had been hiding her strength all this time.
If it weren't for the fact that the court officials wanted to sacrifice her in a marriage alliance, Princess Yulin would've kept her true strength hidden.
The general public didn't have that many information channels, so they believed in this fabricated truth.
Sect Leader Luo Yu of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, however, never believed it.
He vaguely sensed that there was a mastermind behind Princess Yulin's rise and Emperor De's sudden coldness to them.
The question was—who was that person?
Sect Leader Luo Yu immediately thought of the mysterious senior who saved the Imperial Capital five years ago.
He wanted to devour the Yuhua God Dynasty after entering it, so he naturally had to know how many powerhouses the Yuhua God Dynasty had.
A mysterious expert who lived in seclusion in the Imperial Capital and had saved the Yuhua God Dynasty several times.
Could this person be the one behind Princess Yulin's actions and rise?
Sect Leader Luo Yu's eyes turned slightly cold.
He reached out and clenched his fists tightly. "I will catch you, you—clown hiding in the dark."
…
Princess Yulin had come back.
She returned with honors.
In a day, what she did on the Plains and the Wolf Storey Mountain had spread all over the world.
Everyone cheered on her for what she did.
It was something to be proud of after all.
Splitting the Wolf Storey Mountain!
A girl!
The Wolf Storey Mountain was the dream destination of many men since ancient times.
As long as one was a cultivator, they would always dream of the Wolf Storey Mountain.
Ages ago, a young genius managed to accomplish something big and he hailed from the Wolf Storey Mountain. His story was passed down to the next generations, but only a few people could vaguely remember it today.
But today, a 16-year-old girl had completed a magnificent in the most violent manner possible.
She entered the Plains alone and in a short span of three days, she experienced several major battles. Every battle was earth-shattering, and they allowed her to make a breakthrough into the Human God Realm.
Princess Yulin instantly became an idol in the hearts of women.
She did what no man could do.
When she left the Imperial Capital, no one sent her off.
Instead, countless people ridiculed her—saying that she was overestimating her capabilities.
But when she returned, the whole world was cheering her on and shouting her name.
The common people in the Imperial Capital all came to see her.
Seeing the people outside frantically praising her achievements, Princess Yulin felt a little ashamed.
She knew how much Lin Jiufeng had contributed to her success in this matter.
But she alone took all the credit.
She truly found it uncomfortable.
"There's no need to worry. Nothing would've happened if you weren't courageous enough."
Lin Jiufeng comforted her.
"Master. You're still alive, right?" Princess Yulin suddenly asked.
She ignored the compliments of the outside world and focused on the sword case.
She wasn't a fool.
Lin Jiufeng had previously said that he was invited by Emperor Yuan to teach her in her dream world. Princess Yulin had truly believed that this was the case.
But then, Lin Jiufeng followed her into the Plains and they both fought against the enemies and slaughtered them together.
Lin Jiufeng had also revealed his true form.
Princess Yulin was even more certain that this was the case.
She just never mentioned it until now.
Now that they were back in the Imperial Capital, Princess Yulin finally had the chance to ask.
Lin Jiufeng laughed out loud. "Don't keep guessing whether I'm dead or alive. Don't you realize that you've already become a symbol of the Yuhua God Dynasty?"
Princess Yulin didn't care about anything else. She dismissed Lin Jiufeng's words as she followed up. "After witnessing Master's power, I know that my cultivation base is still very weak compared to the grand scheme of things. I really need Master's guidance."
Princess Yulin was just short of telling Lin Jiufeng to continue to be her teacher.
But Lin Jiufeng directly refused.
"I've already taught you everything that I should. You don't need my help anymore, handle your own matters well and work hard to improve."
Princess Yulin could only close this fleeting thought of hers.
Entering the Imperial Capital, Princess Yulin shook off everyone and placed Lin Jiufeng's sword case in front of the Cold Palace.
"Is this okay?"
With her cleverness, Princess Yulin wanted to know where Lin Jiufeng's real body was.
As a result, she stayed close to the gates, waiting for them to open.
But Lin Jiufeng never came out nor answered her.
He only controlled the power of his Divine Soul to make the sword case float up and enter the Cold Palace.
From the beginning till the end, Lin Jiufeng's true body never appeared.
Princess Yulin looked on helplessly.
She could only go to the Forbidden City to look for her brother and mother.
…
Regardless of the disturbances of the outside world, Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul returned and immediately entered his body.
It was just three to four days that they were separated from each other…
While Lin Jiufeng's real body continued to sign-in in the Cold Palace, his divine soul followed Princess Yulin to the Plains.
Then, those things happened.
After his body and Divine Soul became one again, Lin Jiufeng let out a long breath.
He laid on the frost jade bed, his body still a little weak.
His Divine Soul had been gone for too long, he couldn't get used to it for the time being.
He had to slowly get used to it like those saturation divers that didn't want to get the bends.
The white cat had been accompanying Lin Jiufeng's body for the past few days.
She was afraid that something would suddenly go wrong.
Many people whose divine souls left their bodies had to protect their bodies well.
Otherwise, their divine souls might still exist but their bodies, destroyed or kidnapped by their enemies.
If that happened, then it would be difficult to find a replacement to house the homeless Divine Soul. After all, a cultivator had to find a body with a suitable bloodline and sufficient bodily strength that could endure the might of their Divine Soul.
"This matter is finally resolved. I can finally continue my routine in peace," Lin Jiufeng said happily.
Lin Jiufeng didn't like the concept of marriage alliances, but he understood the reasons behind it.
Now that Princess Yulin had resolved her own problem, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow didn't dare to mention anything about the marriage alliance anymore.
Weren't they beaten up badly enough already?
Peace had once again arrived in the Cold Palace.
Lin Jiufeng continued to live the life of a 'shut-in otaku'.
He continued to sign-In at the demon's den every day for the sake of treasures.
If there was anything that he needed, he would absorb it to improve himself.
"How is it? How's the scenery on the Plains?"
"I'm just a cat in the Cold Palace and I haven't seen such a scene before, so I'm curious!"
The white cat asked curiously.
Since her birth, she had never gone to the Plains.
And that so-called Wolf Storey Mountain.
"It's not fun at all. The ground is covered in pure white snow, and I can't see anything other than snow. It's not interesting, since you can also see snow in the Cold Palace."
Lin Jiufeng shook his head.
"Then forget it." The white cat shook her head and lost interest.
Lin Jiufeng hugged her and stroked her ever so gently as usual.
Just like that, almost a month passed by.
Dachun came to deliver food.
Once a month, Dachun would always come.
He had always been punctual about his schedule.
He brought good food and good wine along with some news.
"Your Royal Highness!"
"Last month, it was said that the Imperial Court of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow wants to make peace and they asked for Princess Yulin's hand in a marriage alliance!"
"But no one expected that Princess Yulin would be so powerful!"
"She went to the Plains alone and killed the Emperor of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and the King of the Xianbei people…"
"She even destroyed Wolf Storey Mountain!"
Dachun was almost exclaiming as he explained in excitement.
Lin Jiufeng and the white cat looked at each other behind the gates.
They saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
They didn't stop Dachun from talking.
Instead, they listened quietly.
Lin Jiufeng even occasionally said something to contribute to the discussion.
All of these were done to prevent Dachun from being too embarrassed in talking about a topic which Lin Jiufeng and the white cat were more knowledgeable about than him.
