Chapter 91: Five Years Later

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After returning to the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng's life became comfortable once again.

Everyone in the world praised Princess Yulin.

They proclaimed her as the number one talent in recorded history.

A 16-year-old Human God.

The 16-year-old princess of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The future guardian of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

All the good words and praises in the world were plastered onto Princess Yulin.

Every move that she made now made people wonder what exactly her intentions were.

No one knew about Lin Jiufeng.

But Lin Jiufeng was happy about this arrangement.

Today, he went to the demon's den early in the morning and started his routine.

Boom!

After defeating the charging demon with one move, Lin Jiufeng ignored the resentment of the demons below and began to sign in.

[Sign-In successful. Received one Grotto-Heaven Great Pill!]

Lin Jiufeng immediately checked the pill's attributes.

[Grotto-heaven Great Pill: A pill used to continuously increase the potential of one's Grotto-heaven to aid in its expansion. Its increase depends on the Host's overall potential.]

Lin Jiufeng muttered in shock. "This sure is a pleasant surprise. I was just troubled that my Grotto-heaven hasn't been expanding lately, and it seems to have reached a bottleneck. I didn't expect to receive such a pill from signing in this time. What a coincidence."

With the help of the pill, Lin Jiufeng could continue his steady improvement once again.

After coming out of the underground palace, Lin Jiufeng walked into his room.

He held the Grotto-Heaven Great Pill in his hand as his mind spun.

"I've been in the Grotto-Heaven Realm for a long time now. Will this pill help me in making a breakthrough?"

Lin Jiufeng entered this realm five years ago.

The Grotto-Heaven Realm had ten levels, which meant that the Grotto-heaven had to be expanded ten times.

Ordinary people would form 10 grotto-heavens, but Lin Jiufeng chose to expand his existing Divine Grade Grotto-heaven by 10 times instead of forming 10 grotto-heavens.

These were two completely different choices, but there was no doubt that the latter gave a better potential and greater increase in might.

'Twenty to thirty years have passed since that rain. The Holy Maiden has undoubtedly failed in her work in these past few years.' Lin Jiufeng suddenly remembered the Holy Maiden.

The people of the Heavenly Dao Sect wanted to suppress the people from the previous era to prevent them from prematurely corrupting the brand new era.

But there was no doubt that the Holy Maiden, Miss Hong had failed.

The Zenith Heaven Path Sect was from the previous era.

The Essence Qi Sect of the Plains was also from the previous era.

The appearance of these two major sects was enough evidence to say that Miss Hong had failed.

One had to know that Lin Jiufeng's source of information was very limited.

He seldom left the Cold Palace to venture out.

He was just quietly accumulating his strength in the Cold Palace and he had done all of this ever since he arrived in this world.

Even so, he knew that two major sects from the previous era had already appeared in this world. Considering this fact, Lin Jiufeng started to wonder about just how many of those from the previous era had already appeared in the outside world.

Moreover, just exactly how many of them were still in hiding until now?

At the end of the day, the brand new era had just started.

Only 20 to 30 years have passed since that rain.

The children from back then had just become adults and they were mere greenhorns of the martial path.

As for the older generations, many of them managed to make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm and even the Human God Realm.

However, only a handful of them managed to enter the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Lin Jiufeng had never even heard of anyone who was at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

But this was probably because he was usually ignorant of the outside world. It was understandable, however, for he spent most of his days in the confines of this cold palace.

But Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul followed Princess Yulin to the Plains once, and he witnessed that the Emperor of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow was only at the peak of the Human God Realm.

In that Essence Qi Sect, there was only a single peak Human God Realm expert.

No one among them was in the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

"As time slowly passes, those people will naturally resurface. Those who have surpassed the Grotto-Heaven Realm back then are all hidden beneath the surface of this turbid water, they truly are unfathomable. I still have to work hard to further improve myself."

Lin Jiufeng reminded himself.

Even though he now had a little bit of strength and seemed invincible on the surface of the turbid water that was also known as the martial path—that was because the monsters underwater were still hidden in its depths.

Lin Jiufeng emptied his mind and decided to continue to live in seclusion.

He wanted to see how the outside world would change in the coming years.

He consumed the Grotto-Heaven Great Pill, closed his eyes, and began to expand his Divine Grade Grotto-heaven.

…

The outside world was in a flurry of discussion about Princess Yulin.

Countless people sought an audience with Princess Yulin.

Because of this, she could only hide in the palace and accompany her mother.

Of course, with Princess Yulin's personality.

This caused her nothing but endless vexation. She wanted to go out, but she couldn't.

There were just too many people that wanted to meet her.

In Empress Dowager's palace, Princess Yulin chatted with her mother.

The Empress Dowager asked Princess Yulin. "How did you learn all these skills?"

Princess Yulin only replied, "I have a Master who taught me these skills."

"What kind of person is your Master? Can you invite him to the Yuhua God Dynasty to be a royal consecrator? There won't be any pressure on him, he just has to help the Yuhua God Dynasty in times of crisis." The Empress Dowager asked with concern.

Although she held the biggest trump card of the Yuhua God Dynasty, it was the trump card that Emperor Ming—Lin Tianyuan—had left for her.

She couldn't rely on this trump card for everything.

She needed her own forces to solve her problems.

Princess Yulin thought for a while, then she shook her head and replied, "It's impossible. My master is indifferent to worldly affairs, so there is no way he will agree."

"Sigh…"

"In that case, you must build a good relationship with your Master. If the God Dynasty is in danger in the future, you will have the confidence to deal with it," The Empress Dowager said regrettably.

Princess Yulin smiled bitterly.

Facing the concern of the Empress Dowager, she could only agree.

But in reality, it was no longer convenient for her to go to the Cold Palace.

Her Master obviously didn't want to be disturbed.

If she was disobedient, she risked angering her Master.

Hence, she chose to spend her time comprehending the two sword techniques that her Master had imparted to her instead of going anywhere else.

Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill!

Death Bone Sword Technique!

"The next time we meet, I will make Master look at me in a different light."

Princess Yulin decided in her heart.

…

Time was constantly moving and the times were constantly changing.

Any topic would soon dissipate in popularity as time went on.

The common people of the world lived a busy and anxious life for the sake of a few taels of silver.

Regarding Princess Yulin's matter, they had discussed it, felt proud of it, and gossiped about it before throwing it into the back of their minds.

She was a princess.

No matter how much they talked about her, they wouldn't gain anything from it.

They still had to live their own lives.

The days went on, and after about ten days, the common people weren't talking too much about it anymore.

One month later, this matter wasn't even mentioned that often anymore.

Half a year later, if one didn't deliberately think about this matter, no one would even remember it.

Princess Yulin's presence had also gone thin as she stayed in seclusion, trying her best to comprehend the two sword techniques.

The world was calm—especially now that the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow no longer had the power to invade the borders of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Despite the turbulent undercurrents, the surface of the world remained peaceful.

And so, another five years passed.

In the past five years, Lin Jiufeng never once left the Cold Palace.

Princess Yulin didn't come to the Cold Palace either.

In fact, she didn't even leave her place.

She was completely focused on her cultivation.

However, the Yuhua God Dynasty hadn't been peaceful in the past five years.

There were some rebellions and uprisings, some cultivators harmed the common people, and some demonic sects launched their own attacks.

Especially the demonic sects.

They were extremely terrifying as they swept over the lands this time.

After these five years, Emperor De was finally the one handling the state affairs instead of the Empress Dowager.

His thoughts had matured quite a lot.

He was no longer the same as he was when he was 18 years old.

He was no longer focused solely on cultivation.

He took over the state affairs from the Empress Dowager and began to deal with them carefully.

But he didn't give up on cultivating either.

After five years, the Empress Dowager stayed behind the scenes.

She only gave pointers to Empress Dowager behind his back.

She didn't compete with him for power.

If she refused to give her only son his deserved power and continued to control the court with her status as the Empress Dowager, wouldn't the people call her a greedy wretch then?

The Empress Dowager knew that it would be wrong to suppress Emperor De.

She knew when to advance and when to retreat.

She was smart and full of wisdom.

With her talent, knowledge, and wisdom, she could become a solid backer of Emperor De.

Hence, she was satisfied with how Emperor De had improved in handling the state affairs.

From his immature, and dull start to his current proficiency in the court.

The Empress Dowager was content with Emperor De's character development.

The only headache that she had was that she could no longer understand the world itself.

Chapter 92: The Clown Is Actually Myself

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the past five years, the outside world has been turbulent, including the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Only the Cold Palace remained the same.

It hasn't changed that much in the past five years.

However, some parts of the Cold Palace's outer walls had fallen off, revealing the mottled inner walls that showed its fight against time.

Some dilapidated houses in the Cold Palace had collapsed.

This Cold Palace had a history of more than a hundred years.

No one had renovated it for a long time, so it wasn't out of the ordinary for some part of it to collapse.

Fortunately, the courtyard that Lin Jiufeng chose was relatively clean and comfortable.

He didn't plan on switching to another courtyard.

After five years, he had long absorbed the Grotto-Heaven Great Pill and expanded his Divine Grade grotto-heaven.

He truly stood at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm by now.

Ten years ago, he made a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm and formed a Divine Grade Grotto-heaven.

Ten years later, he finished absorbing the Grotto-Heaven Great Pill and stood at the pinnacle of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

In the past ten years, the only change was that Lin Jiufeng had more or less defeated most of the demons, Demon Kings, and Demon Gods in the demon's den beneath the underground palace.

These 3,000 plus powerhouses from the demon's den were reputable powerhouses in the previous era. Every one of them were extremely terrifying existences that stood at the top when it comes to power in their own demonic sects.

But in this brand new era, they had gotten trapped in the demon's den where they sealed themselves for hundreds of years and effectively became Lin Jiufeng's Monster Spawner.

One per day.

365 per year.

After 10 years, Lin Jiufeng had defeated about 3600 demons from this demon's den.

There were only about 10 demons that Lin Jiufeng hadn't defeated yet.

The things that Lin Jiufeng received were mostly different.

Most of them were demonic cultivation techniques.

There were also some other treasures.

For pills, Lin Jiufeng directly consumed them.

The pills that he couldn't eat or were useless to him were then fed to the white cat.

The white cat became a peak Human God just from consuming those pills.

She was originally an ordinary cat, but after obtaining a heaven-defying opportunity and consuming the pills of the Demon Lord, she became a Martial Sage.

But her cultivation speed after that had become extremely slow because her foundation was relatively weak.

But even so, after being nurtured by Lin Jiufeng's vast amounts of pills and treasures, she still managed to reach the peak of the Human God Realm—the Nirvana stage.

From this, one could see how many treasures Lin Jiufeng had received from signing in for the past ten years that passed.

On this day, Lin Jiufeng came to the demon's den early in the morning.

After five years, Lin Jiufeng was already in his sixties, close to turning 70.

Thinking carefully, he realized that he had been in the Cold Palace for almost 50 years now.

50 years…

This was a large part of an ordinary mortal's life, and Lin Jiufeng had just spent it in the Cold Palace alone.

It was all thanks to his character that he managed to do so.

Ordinary people couldn't possibly endure staying here for so long.

He was almost 70 years old, but he looked just like a teenager.

His eyes were as bright as the stars and his teeth were pearly-white.

He looked just like an elegant and handsome teenager.

The white cat didn't change that much either.

But her fur became even more radiant and soft.

One could also feel a trace of nobility to it.

A single look was all it took for anyone worth their salt to know that the white cat had a formidable bloodline.

But in Lin Jiufeng's eyes, she was just an abandoned stray cat.

"Why are you always going down there every day to fight them? Is it fun torturing them?"

The white cat followed Lin Jiufeng and asked, puzzled.

"Am I torturing them?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Yup. You always defeat them with one slap every day." The white cat nodded.

She was thoroughly confused.

Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and replied, "I won't be able to do this to them any longer."

Out of the 3,000 plus Demon Gods, only ten of them remained useful to Lin Jiufeng.

10 days later, Lin Jiufeng wouldn't go to the demon's den anymore.

By that time, even if the demons begged him to come, he wouldn't pay them a visit.

Speaking of this, Lin Jiufeng was a little downcast.

This Monster Spawner was about to lose its effectiveness.

He would no longer have the advantage of repeatedly signing in there.

He had to start looking for other places to repeatedly sign in after ten days.

Lin Jiufeng was frustrated.

In the end, he directly visited the demon's den. With a light tap of his toes, the seal of the demon's den vanished. The 3,000 plus demons below looked at the final 10.

Lin Jiufeng hadn't defeated these remaining 10 yet.

The other demons had been taught a harsh lesson by Lin Jiufeng.

Compared to 10 years ago when they were indignant and angry…

They had already resigned themselves to their fates after so many years had passed.

They stopped fantasizing about Lin Jiufeng letting them out as they watched on as he became stronger and stronger. They watched as they remained sealed, unable to absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world.

Then, they watched as the gap between them and Lin Jiufeng continued to widen.

The 10 demons who were being watched by everyone felt a myriad of emotions surging in their hearts. They felt extremely bitter.

"Damn it, we can't beat him in a fight, yet we must still fight him. How annoying."

One of the remaining 10 cursed.

The others remained silent.

"It's been 10 years. In these 10 years, we've personally witnessed his terrifying strength from the moment he entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm until today. I reckon he is now at least at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. His improvement is simply too fast," A Demon God cried out.

"I even suspect that he has broken through to the next realm."

"Wu, wu, wu~"

Real men never shed tears easily, unless they were truly heartbroken.

They were continuously suppressed by Lin Jiufeng for 10 whole years now.

These 10 years didn't pass in a blink of an eye. It involved a painstakingly torturous daily routine where every day, one of them would be beaten up by Lin Jiufeng. Counting the days since he started beating them up, about 3,000 plus days have passed since then.

"Back then, I was really not afraid of anything. Even when the Daoist priests from Quan Zhen Sect provoked me, I still dared to kill and rob them." A Demon King couldn't hold it in anymore and revealed his glorious deeds.

This was his proudest moment.

"At that time, the Quan Zhen Sect was very terrifying, they were a sect which even had Immortals at their peak. Even so, I dared to make a move on them. Who would have thought that I would have such a depressing day today?" The Demon King said indignantly.

"That's right…"

"In the previous era, who doesn't know of my great name, Demon King Pingtian?"

"I was one of the Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race!"

"I even participated in the construction of this demon's den and I did my best to make sure that it is built to last and will be able to maintain its stable state against the test of time!"

"Now, I've actually trapped myself inside my own creation. I have essentially played myself."

Demon King Pingtian was quite angry about this.

It was only in the end that he realized that the clown was actually himself.

The other demons were speechless.

What he had done was really akin to digging his own grave in hindsight.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Lin Jiufeng knocked on the ground on top.

A continuous sonorous sound rang out.

Lin Jiufeng then announced.

"Don't reminisce about the past anymore. Hurry up and make your move!"

"I'll fight it out with you!" A Demon King in the form of a Tauren roared angrily.

He directly charged upwards to fight it out with Lin Jiufeng.

His aura was extraordinary and he had the strength of a peak Human God Realm expert.

In fact, his realm faintly seemed to have surpassed that of the Human God Realm.

In the demon's den that had been sealed for thousands of years, he was definitely a top existence.

But Lin Jiufeng only stretched out his palm and pushed it downwards.

Boom!

The massive force behind his palm suppressed the Tauren Demon King.

The shockwave exploded on his body and he was sent flying onto the ground like a kite with its strings broken.

He ended up heavily injured in the ordeal.

And even so, this result was Lin Jiufeng showing mercy and not killing him.

When the other demons saw this scene, they shook their heads in regret.

"He's even stronger now." A Demon God muttered.

He felt extremely bitter. He really wanted to go out.

But Lin Jiufeng didn't give him the chance to do so. He directly sealed the demon's den.

Then, he signed in.

[Sign-In successful. Received Sword Driving Technique!]

Lin Jiufeng's eyes lit up as he said in surprise, "Is this the Sword Driving Technique that can kill enemies thousands of miles away?"

[The range of the Sword Driving Technique depends on the strength of the caster. Moreover, the Sword Driving Technique only has one strike. If it cannot kill the enemy, the caster can only proceed to re-execute the strike.]

The last sentence was vague, but Lin Jiufeng knew that the opponent would most likely be able to dodge the re-execution of the strike.

"This isn't so bad either. With this Sword Driving Technique paired with my sword techniques, I will be invincible," Lin Jiufeng muttered.

Lin Jiufeng didn't expect that the rewards close to the end of his routine would be this great.

With the Sword Driving Technique in hand, Lin Jiufeng was reluctant to leave the demon's den and the 3,000 plus demons inside.

If only he could sign in using each of them twice, how great would that be?

He would definitely cherish that opportunity until the very end!

Chapter 93: The Seven Great Sages of the Demon Path

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Lin Jiufeng defeated a demon, he received the Sword Driving Technique and left happily.

But the demons in the demon's den remained depressed.

The demon that was defeated just now was none other than Demon King Pingtian.

Why did a demon say that Lin Jiufeng had become stronger?

It was because Lin Jiufeng had just lightly pressed down with his palm and this simple attack of his severely injured Demon King Pingtian in an instant.

Demon King Pingtian was one of the founders of this demon's den and he was also one of the Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race.

His strength was at the peak among those that were here.

Moreover, his true form was that of a Tauren.

His skin was rough and his flesh was thick.

He was very resistant to punches.

Even though he was currently weak due to his long hibernation, those of the Grotto-Heaven Realm were definitely unable to severely injure him with a simple palm.

Not even those at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm could do so.

But Lin Jiufeng managed to do it.

This was something that they were unwilling to see.

Because this indicated that Lin Jiufeng had become stronger once more.

They watched as Lin Jiufeng became stronger every day, but none of them could improve at all.

The demons had been thoroughly tormented in the years that passed.

Back then, they were the ones who tormented others.

But now, it was the opposite.

This truly was the work of karma.

Demon King Pingtian got up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He didn't feel too bad about being injured. When he was roaming the world back then, he had been injured countless times. But each time, he relied on his tough skin and thick flesh to endure through it.

Moreover, because of his special physique, there wouldn't be any hidden injuries after his injuries healed.

Of course, despite his resilience, his mental state was the opposite.

Right now, he was depressed.

Raising his head in dejection, he asked softly, "Are there still any chances for us, the demons who have stirred up trouble and turned the world upside down back then, to leave this place?"

This question rendered the group of demons speechless.

Lin Jiufeng was just too terrifying.

The 10 years had left a deep shadow in their hearts.

One must know that they were powerful demons—the powerful demons that once ruled over their own regions.

…

Lin Jiufeng didn't know what these demons were thinking.

After signing in successfully, he left the underground palace and went to his courtyard to silently comprehend the Sword Driving Technique.

He didn't want to think about the disturbances in the outside world.

Forbidden City!

In the Great Council Hall, a group of court officials was arguing about the current state of the world. Demons had once again came out to stir up trouble, and the common people were living in unspeakable misery.

They had to be stopped at all costs.

But some people also said that the powerhouses sent by the Yuhua God Dynasty had all died while bleeding from their seven orifices. There were no traces of them being injured anywhere else, which was very strange.

This alone proved that the demons this time were truly powerful.

"Your Majesty. In today's world, demons are rampant. Not only are there demons, but there are also monsters. It is rumored that the so-called Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race have appeared…"

"They are the main troublemakers that we are facing right now," The Cabinet Chief said.

Since Emperor Yuan's ascension to the throne, he was promoted to the Cabinet.

Until now, this Cabinet Chief was still around.

He had dedicated his entire life to the Imperial Court and had no male descendants to succeed in his position. His daughter was also already married, so he had his heart set on serving the Yuhua God Dynasty.

He was 80 years old this year, but was still energetic and had a clear mind.

In fact, he was becoming more and more cunning as he aged.

Although his cultivation base wasn't strong, his knowledge was as deep as the sea.

With a scheme, he could make two powerful cultivators fall out with each other and become enemies.

He was also the one who taught Emperor De about how to handle the state affairs.

Hence, Emperor De trusted him a lot.

"Teacher… What's the situation with the Seven Great Sages that you mentioned?"

Emperor De frowned and asked in a low voice.

The demonic sects' comeback was already causing him endless worries.

Now, the so-called Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race had also appeared.

Emperor De immediately guessed that they must be demons from the previous era that had sealed themselves and finally awakened in this brand new era.

Emperor De gnashed his teeth in anger.

It wasn't enough for them to rule over one entire era, they still wanted to rule over this era and harm the common people.

"Your Majesty, I believe that there's no need to bother the demonic sects' in their comeback because they aren't the main troublemakers this time," The Cabinet Chief replied firmly.

He was already so old. His face was thin and so was his aura.

But standing there, his back remained straight.

A single look was all it took for anyone to tell that he had been a scholar in his entire life.

Not only that, but he was a model example of scholars!

This was the best description of him.

"Teacher, who are these Seven Great Sages?" Emperor De asked curiously.

"They are the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao. Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens, Demon King Dapeng. Great Sage of the Moving Mountain, Demon King Gui. Great Sage of the Blowing Wind, Demon King Yuan. Great Sage of the White Clothed, Bai Zilong. Great Sage of the Dreaming, Yun Shanhai."

The Cabinet Chief explained one by one.

Emperor De counted carefully and frowned. "That's not right…"

"There are only six Great Sages here."

The Cabinet Chief shook his head and said, "I was also puzzled at the beginning as to why there were only six demons among the Seven Great Sages. But later on, someone found out that the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, the Heaven Raising Bull, is still missing."

"Are they very powerful?" Emperor De asked solemnly.

The Cabinet Chief replied solemnly, "Their cultivation bases are all beyond the Human God Realm. Moreover, the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao, and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens, Demon King Dapeng both said that they would come to the Imperial Capital to ask His Majesty for a piece of land to build a place for the Demon Race to live in."

"If we don't give in to their demands, they will replace us with another dynasty."

"What daring of them to threaten me?!" Emperor De stood up angrily.

"Your Majesty, they are beyond the Human God Realm. The Human Gods that we have nurtured for the past ten years are nothing compared to these Great Sages." The Cabinet Chief shook his head.

Emperor De was speechless.

"Will they be here soon?" Emperor De asked through gritted teeth.

"Yes. During this period of time, I will discuss with the court officials in detail as to which piece of land we should give them. Your Majesty, please bear with it."

The Cabinet Chief bowed and proposed a solution.

Emperor De opened his mouth, wanting to say that he didn't agree to it.

He hadn't fought a single war yet, but he was already going to lose a huge chunk of the land that his ancestors left behind for him. If he truly lost in this manner, then he would be scolded as an incapable emperor throughout his reign.

But looking at the Cabinet Chief's thin face, it was obvious that he was worried sick over this matter.

Emperor De could only agree, afraid of the Cabinet Chief's health.

"Thank you, Teacher."

"Your Majesty, I am gratified that you are able to think it through."

The Cabinet Chief left in satisfaction and went down to start his research.

Even if they were to give the demons a piece of land, there would still be some considerations that had to be taken into account.

He could use the giving of land as a scheme to get rid of some enemies.

If he really wanted these Seven Great Sages to suffer, it would take some time to devise a plan.

…

Emperor De felt aggrieved after the Cabinet Chief's departure.

He was the Emperor, but he was being threatened by mere demons.

And in the end, he had no choice but to compromise?

In Emperor De's eyes, agreeing to the demons' request was akin to sacrificing land to seek peace.

This was betraying the lands of his ancestors for the sake of his own peace and stability.

"If I can agree once, then I can agree a second time, a third time… countless times."

At this moment, a sentence written by a predecessor appeared in Emperor De's mind.

"Five cities are to be given today, then ten cities will be given tomorrow, and then I will be able to sleep in peace for a night. When I wake up the next morning, the army of the Qin Dynasty will once again arrive…"

"The land of the vassals is limited, but the greed of the tyrant Qin Dynasty is unlimited."

"If I give them an inch, they'll ask for a mile."

"The outcome of this war has already been determined without a single casualty nor fight…"

If he behaved cowardly now, the Yuhua God Dynasty could only be bullied by others in the future. By then, its demise would surely be nigh.

"No, I cannot agree to it!" Emperor De said firmly.

But then, he became discouraged.

'What can I use to deal with the Seven Great Sages of the Demon Race who have broken through into the Grotto-Heaven Realm?' Emperor De asked himself.

The most powerful people under him were only at the peak of the Human God Realm.

It was enough to intimidate small factions and small sects.

But to use them to threaten the Seven Sages who have broken through into the Grotto-Heaven Realm was merely a pipe dream.

"My younger sister has been in seclusion for five years. I wonder how strong she is now. I should probably go and ask her for help."

Emperor De immediately thought of the Princess Yulin who caused a storm five years ago.

Chapter 94: Take the Key

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race had appeared.

The Seven Great Sages came from different places and different races.

There were demons, monsters, and humans.

Combined, they were the Seven Great Sages.

Among them, the ones from the Monster Race was the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao, Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens, Demon King Dapeng, Great Sage of the Moving Mountain, Demon King Gui, Great Sage of the Blowing Wind, Demon King Yuan, and Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling Heaven Raising Bull.

These were the five Demon Kings from the Monster Race.

The Great Sage of the White Clothed, Bai Zilong, was a human.

The Great Sage of the Dreaming, Yun Shanhai, was a demon.

The seven of them formed the Seven Great Sages. In the previous era, they were top powerhouses of the world and were a force to be reckoned with.

Now that they have reappeared in this brand new era, the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao, and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens, Demon King Dapeng were coming to the Yuhua God Dynasty to visit Emperor De.

They wanted Emperor De to give them a piece of land.

They were relying on their formidable strength to threaten Emperor De into doing this.

Unfortunately, Emperor De had to accept the threat.

Because he didn't have any subordinates who were as powerful as them.

At the beginning of the recovery of the world's spiritual energy, a Martial Sage could already intimidate anyone in the entire world.

Ever since that rain, Lin Jiufeng became the first person to step into the Human God Realm.

For a long time after that, the Human God Realm became the pinnacle of the martial path.

But following Emperor Ming's death and the invasion of the demons 10 years ago where the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty was surrounded by demons.

Human Gods weren't truly powerful enough anymore.

Lin Jiufeng once again lifted the curtain of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

But it was a pity.

Perhaps it was because he improved too fast that the common people couldn't keep up with him. Or perhaps it was because the recovery of the spiritual energy in the world didn't bring with it the huge amount of spiritual energy needed for others to reach the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

.

After all, the recovery itself would still take time to complete.

This was also why the people who unsealed themselves at the beginning were all Martial Sages and Human Gods.

The truly powerful ones were all waiting for the spiritual energy to become as vast and as boundless as the sea. Only when the world was completely moisturized with spiritual energy would they come out and display their ambitions into the world once more.

Lin Jiufeng entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm 10 years ago, and it was only 10 years later that other people had started to reach the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Emperor De knew that the only person he could rely on now was his sister.

After the Zenith Heaven Path Sect knew that Emperor De had discovered some clues regarding their true nature, they slowly became indifferent to Emperor De. In the past five years, they didn't do anything overboard, so Emperor De turned a blind eye to them.

He wouldn't ask the Zenith Heaven Path Sect for help nor could he do so.

He visited his younger sister, Princess Yulin's palace.

Five years ago, the 16-year-old Princess Yulin made a name for herself and was remembered by everyone in the world.

But she chose to cool down and live in seclusion for five years.

Without leaving her palace, she quietly accumulated her strength as she continuously practiced to deepen her comprehension of the two sword techniques.

The trip to the Plains back then had brought her a lot of things.

Be it knowledge or other things, she was reborn and learned to think on her own.

The whole world praised her.

Countless invisible hands were constantly pushing her into the sky.

So high that Princess Yulin became afraid of its height.

Other people who were praised would definitely be happy.

Then, they would lose themselves and become obsessed with it.

But it wasn't the case for Princess Yulin…

She chose to wash off the fame and glory she obtained and returned to the beginning.

She went back to holding the sword and practicing with it daily.

In the past five years, she had rarely seen anyone, even the Empress Dowager.

It has also been five years since she last saw Emperor De.

After five years, Emperor De looked at his younger sister who had no makeup on.

She was dressed in snow-white clothes.

She now had a bearing similar to that of a jade beauty.

Emperor De was moved by the sight that he saw.

"It's been five years since we last met. You seem to have changed into a different person," Emperor De said.

Princess Yulin smiled. She lifted her teacup and said, "I just grew up, that's all."

Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin, full of emotions.

She just grew up, that's all.

The 16-year-old Princess Yulin from five years ago was still a child.

But to solve the problem that could implicate millions of common people, she went into the Plains and created her own path of slaughter.

And today, five years later—Princess Yulin told him that she had grown up now, that's all.

"Is there something on your mind today, Brother?" Princess Yulin asked curiously.

She knew that Emperor De was very busy.

None of the issues that could reach the Imperial Court were small matters after all.

Hence, there must be a reason why Emperor De came here.

Emperor De nodded and explained the recent events in detail.

Princess Yulin frowned slightly as she listened.

"The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race. If it's true that their cultivation bases are beyond the Human God Realm, then they are indeed very powerful."

"Yes, they are very powerful. Otherwise, I wouldn't be distressed." Emperor De smiled bitterly.

"Brother, I haven't broken through into the Grotto-Heaven Realm yet."

Princess Yulin directly answered the question that Emperor De wanted to ask her

Emperor De opened his mouth, then closed it.

He dismissed the question that he wanted to ask.

Instead, he changed it into something else. "What about your master?"

Princess Yulin asked in surprise, "You want to look for my Master?"

Emperor De nodded and looked calmly at Princess Yulin.

His eyes gleamed with a faint shimmer.

"Did you gain some information or something?"

Princess Yulin was indeed born from the same mother as Emperor De.

She immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"This needs to be confirmed first."

Emperor De shook his head and refused to tell Princess Yulin about his recent discovery.

Princess Yulin had no interest in continuing the conversation.

"I don't know where my Master is. I haven't gone out for five years."

Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin and suddenly extended his hand.

"What?" Princess Yulin raised her brows.

"Give me the key to the Cold Palace," said Emperor De.

Princess Yulin laughed and said, "The walls of the Cold Palace courtyard aren't that high. You can just climb over them."

"That won't be polite." Emperor De smiled mysteriously.

He looked at Princess Yulin and said, "That key is not something precious, but you are unwilling to give it to me. This means that there is something wrong with the Cold Palace. Give me the key, I will visit the place."

Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin proudly.

Princess Yulin had no choice but to hand over the key to Emperor De and remind him.

"Don't disturb the place. Also, what if there's no one around?"

Emperor De just smiled and got up to leave without saying anything.

What if there's no one around?

Impossible!

Emperor De's recent five years consisted of handling the Imperial Court and the state affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty. However, he had also been carefully investigating any information as to who could be living in the Cold Palace.

What was the identity of that dethroned Crown Prince?

Nearly 50 years have passed since then.

No one knew about the matter of Lin Jiufeng being banished into the Cold Palace.

And in the historical records, because it was considered a huge scandal, there wasn't a detailed description of it at all.

There was only one sentence.

[Because of his lust, the dethroned Crown Prince is to be locked in the Cold Palace till his death.]

Thus, he was banished into the Cold Palace back then!

But who was this dethroned Crown Prince?

What was his background?

Why was he banished into the Cold Palace?

When he was investigating these matters, he only lacked a starting point.

But after so many years, Emperor De was bound to find a piece of information that he could use as the starting point of his investigation. From there, he decisively searched for and discovered various answers to the burning questions he had in mind.

'It turns out that this dethroned Crown Prince and Grandpa Emperor are biological brothers.'

'Then, I should address him as Big Grand-Uncle.'

'He has been imprisoned in the Cold Palace for almost 50 years.'

'Is he still alive?'

'Since he has been banished into the Cold Palace, that courtyard must belong to Big Grand-Uncle.'

'Therefore, the one who gave little sister pointers wasn't Grandpa Emperor's soul, but was instead Big Grand-Uncle.'

'I shall go visit Big Grand-Uncle now.'

Emperor De has been investigating the truth for the past five years.

Today, he was only one key away from the truth.

Hence, he came to ask for the key.

Moreover, he couldn't tell Princess Yulin about his speculations just now.

It was better not to disclose any unverified information after all.

Chapter 95: Waiting for the Rain Again?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After obtaining the key from Princess Yulin, Emperor De didn't immediately rush to the Cold Palace. He didn't tell anyone and returned to the Forbidden City to continue dealing with the state affairs.

In the latter half of the night, Emperor De quietly left the Forbidden City alone and went for the Cold Palace.

Late at night, he opened the Cold Palace's door.

Once the door to the Cold Palace was opened, Emperor De didn't go in.

Instead, he bowed all the way and said in a deep voice, "Unfilial descendant is disturbing Big Grand-Uncle's rest. I ask for Big Grand-Uncle's help."

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat who was cultivating opened their eyes.

"Your descendant is here." The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng was puzzled. "How did he know that I was here?"

Did the Empress Dowager tell him?

That shouldn't be the case…

If the Empress Dowager wanted to tell Emperor De about him, then she would have already done so five years ago when Princess Yulin was forced into a marriage alliance.

Why wait until now?

Lin Jiufeng initially wanted to ignore him, but Emperor De had already addressed him as Big Grand-Uncle. His confident tone meant that he knew that Lin Jiufeng was there.

"How did you know of my existence?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

Outside the Cold Palace, Emperor De's expression shook.

He pulled himself together and said, "It's because I've been looking through all sorts of information in the past five years, including things that happened decades ago, as well as the relics left behind by my father and grandfather."

"Smart." The white cat praised.

Lin Jiufeng didn't expect that Emperor De discovered his identity through the latter's own deduction.

This made Lin Jiufeng think highly of him.

"Isn't the Yuhua God Dynasty doing well? Why did you come to find me?"

Seeing that he was so smart, Lin Jiufeng decided to ask about his purpose for coming here.

What exactly happened that Emperor De himself came here to look for him?

Instead of the Empress Dowager coming here.

After all, the Empress Dowager was the only one that was supposed to know of his existence.

But the Empress Dowager didn't come to seek his help.

Emperor De immediately told him about the recent events in the Yuhua God Dynasty and about the Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race.

One stood before the Cold Palace while the other was within the courtyard.

Their voices weren't loud, but both sides could hear each other properly.

After Emperor De finished talking about the Seven Sages, he knelt on both knees and pleaded.

"Big Grand-Uncle, Grandpa Emperor and Father passed the Yuhua God Dynasty to me in one piece. Not to mention pioneering new territories, but it's my responsibility to guard the foundation of the ancestors without losing even an inch of land."

"But the Seven Sages are simply too powerful…"

"The power of a secular dynasty such as our Yuhua God Dynasty is no match for them. If the Yuhua God Dynasty's lands were to be given up by me, then I would really be a sinner for all eternity. Even if I were to die ten thousand times, I would still be unable to make up for it."

"Today, it is already an unforgivable sin for me, this unfilial descendant, to rashly come to your door and disturb Big Grand-Uncle's leisurely cultivation. I only hope that the Big Grand-Uncle can help the Yuhua God Dynasty and protect the foundation built by our ancestors…"

"This way, in the netherworld, Grandpa Emperor will remain smiling."

Emperor De had truly matured.

Five years ago, he was still a stubborn child who didn't know how to take responsibility and was only focused on his own path of cultivation.

But now, he had the responsibility of an emperor boring down his shoulders.

Lin Jiufeng stood in the courtyard and looked at the walls that were covered with sword scars.

His gaze was faint as he looked through the walls one after another.

He then saw the kneeling Emperor De.

He was impressed.

Lin Jiufeng remembered very clearly that five years ago, the Emperor of the Great Xia's Dragon Sparrow came to ask for a marriage alliance in order to maintain peace with the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The court officials were in a terrible dispute over it.

As an elder brother and also the Emperor, Emperor De actually couldn't come up with a decision.

He just vehemently disagreed and hid in the Forbidden City to cultivate diligently.

If it wasn't for Lin Jiufeng, Princess Yulin wouldn't be able to escape that calamity.

The Emperor De from five years ago was truly just a child.

But five years later, he was now a man who could take up his responsibility as the Emperor of a God Dynasty.

He knew that with the Yuhua God Dynasty's strength, it wouldn't be able to withstand the attacks of the Seven Great Sages. At that time, the best outcome would be to compensate them with a large amount of land to appease their anger.

But Emperor De knew that he couldn't do that. If he did so, then he would become the greatest sinner of his lineage. At his wits' end, he directly came to look for Lin Jiufeng.

Without caring about his own reputation, he knelt down and sincerely asked for his help.

But why did these so-called Seven Great Sages sound so familiar?

Lin Jiufeng was certain that he had heard this from someone before.

"Seven Great Sages…" The white cat pointed underground with its white claws.

Lin Jiufeng instantly remembered the Demon King that he had defeated earlier in the day in the demon's den beneath the copper coffin.

That Demon King said that he was one of the Seven Great Sages, Demon King Pingtian.

Lin Jiufeng asked curiously, "Who are the Seven Great Sages?"

Hearing Lin Jiufeng's question, Emperor De became excited.

As long as Lin Jiufeng was willing to listen, there was hope for him to lend a hand.

"They are the Great Sage of the Ocean Cove, Demon King Jiao, Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens, Demon King Dapeng, Great Sage of the Moving Mountain, Demon King Gui, Great Sage of the Blowing Wind, Demon King Yuan, Great Sage of the White Clothed, Bai Zilong, Great Sage of the Dreaming, Yun Shanhai, and Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, the Heaven Raising Bull."

Emperor De stated their names.

When Lin Jiufeng heard about the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, he revealed an 'as expected' expression on his face.

The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, one of the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race, was currently being suppressed inside the demon's den.

Just today, he was defeated by Lin Jiufeng and the latter used him to sign-in for a good item.

The Sword Driving Technique!

And on the night of that same day, Emperor De came to ask for help, informing Lin Jiufeng that the other members of the Seven Sages were coming to the Yuhua God Dynasty to ask for a piece of land from the God Dynasty.

Lin Jiufeng looked at Emperor De and said, "Go back and find out how many of the Seven Great Sages are coming, and where they are right now. Also, don't tell anyone about me."

Emperor De was overjoyed.

When he heard this, he was finally reassured.

He felt as if a great burden was lifted off his chest.

Emperor De hurriedly kowtowed a few times and replied in excitement, "I will go back and investigate this matter thoroughly before coming back here to report!"

"Go," Lin Jiufeng said softly.

Emperor De stood up and carefully closed the Cold Palace's door before rushing back to investigate.

From the beginning till the end, he never saw Lin Jiufeng with his own eyes.

But after hearing Lin Jiufeng's voice, he felt the urge to trust Lin Jiufeng in his heart.

This was probably a form of trust that came from their bloodline connection.

For some reason, Lin Jiufeng's words alone were enough to quell his panic and apprehension.

…

After Emperor De left, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat looked at each other.

"You want to interfere in this matter?" The white cat asked.

"Yes. If the Imperial Court were to start giving up land to compensate them, its demise would surely be nigh." Lin Jiufeng nodded.

If there was a first time, there would be a second, third… countless times.

Lin Jiufeng didn't want the Yuhua God Dynasty—which Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming had painstakingly reformed—to fall into ruin after just three generations.

"You are going to intervene?" The white cat laid on Lin Jiufeng's shoulder and softly asked.

Lin Jiufeng thought for a while.

Then, he replied in a serious manner. "Maybe… maybe there isn't a need for me to stop the Seven Sages myself."

"If you don't appear and stop the Seven Sages, who can possibly defeat them out there?" The white cat said.

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race weren't beings that those of the Human God Realm could match against.

Lin Jiufeng smiled and said, "Indeed, no one from the Yuhua God Dynasty can fight them, but there's someone who may be able to."

"Who?" The white cat asked curiously.

Her eyes, which seemed to have celestial bodies in them, looked at Lin Jiufeng.

Reflected in her eyes were not only the stars but also Lin Jiufeng himself.

"Didn't you see him this morning?" Lin Jiufeng asked softly.

"Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling? That Demon King?" The white cat recalled.

That Demon King Pingtian was one of the Seven Great Sages.

"What do you think the effect would be if I released him and asked him to solve this problem for me?" Lin Jiufeng told the white cat his plan.

"Be careful of creating problems for yourself. Those demons are not to be trifled with. Once they absorbed the spiritual energy in the outside world, their strength will increase by leaps and bounds." The white cat was worried.

"It's fine. As long as I'm around, the Imperial Capital and the Yuhua God Dynasty will never fall into chaos!" Lin Jiufeng was confident.

"Then why don't you just stop the Seven Sages yourself?" The white cat asked curiously.

It's not convenient for me to fight now, I'm waiting for the first spring rain!"

Lin Jiufeng simply stated.

"Waiting for the rain again?" The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise.

Lin Jiufeng just smiled.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

Chapter 96: Speed Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Jiufeng, who said that he would wait for another spring rain, didn't tell the white cat why.

Spring was a time of recovery for all things in the world

In this period, Lin Jiufeng continued his routine in peace within the Cold Palace.

The next day, he entered the underground palace and opened the seal of the demon's den.

There was no need for him to do anything.

Out of the nine remaining demons, one of them flew out.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng swung his hand and slapped him on the face.

The attack immediately sent the demon sprawling onto the floor.

Then, he signed in.

[Sign-In successful. Received 36 Swords of the Demon Path!]

Lin Jiufeng looked in surprise at the 36 longswords that appeared out of thin air.

They were entirely black in color, and each of them had a portion of a dragon's body carved on their surfaces. When the 36 swords were combined, they formed a hideous and vicious-looking demonic dragon that hovered in the air.

"This is a combination sword formation to summon a demonic dragon. The 36 swords are the demonic dragon's body. Once successfully executed, its might will inevitably be shocking."

After Lin Jiufeng understood its power, he happily kept the demonic swords and placed them into the sword case.

He would nurture them and improve their quality.

Since he had no use for them temporarily, he was planning on keeping them in the sword case where they could slowly be nurtured for improvement.

Lin Jiufeng usually left the demon's den after a beatdown.

The demons in the demon's den thought so too.

The demon that was struck down received grievous injuries, but he didn't care. After all, Lin Jiufeng would only hit him once. It wouldn't be a problem for him to slowly recover back to his peak.

The demons in the demon's den talked with each other and reminisced about the past once more.

They were just like old men who sat at the entrance of their villages…

They were looking at each other with nostalgic looks on their faces.

Their eyes were all filled with yearning.

As they were discussing, Lin Jiufeng knocked on the entrance of the demon's den.

Clang!

This made the demons look at Lin Jiufeng, they were all confused.

After defeating a demon with a slap, he actually didn't leave?

Was Lin Jiufeng planning to continue and humiliate them even further?

The hearts of the demons tightened for no reason.

They looked at him nervously.

But Lin Jiufeng didn't continue to attack.

He calmly asked, "Who is the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling?"

The demons in the demon's den were stunned.

He was looking for the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling?

Everyone looked at the Tauren demon that Lin Jiufeng injured yesterday.

"I am," the Heaven Raising Bull said, looking at Lin Jiufeng in confusion.

What was he trying to do?

Was he about to beat him up?

That would be too unreasonable.

Lin Jiufeng had just beaten him up yesterday.

"You're from the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race?"

Lin Jiufeng continued his line of questioning.

Lin Jiufeng didn't attack or make any other moves.

As a result, the demons in the demon's den heaved sighs of relief.

"Yes." The Heaven Raising Bull nodded.

"Are you familiar with the other members of the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race?" Lin Jiufeng asked once more.

"Of course, we were once sworn brothers," The Heaven Raising Bull said.

"What happened?" The Heaven Raising Bull followed up.

"Nothing much, it's just that the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens are coming to the Imperial Capital to find trouble with the Yuhua God Dynasty," Lin Jiufeng casually replied.

But this leisurely tone of his made the Heaven Raising Bull's heart tighten.

The Great Sage of the Ocean Cover and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens actually provoked this fiendish man.

Wouldn't there be a conflict between them then?

"They are coming to find trouble with the Yuhua God Dynasty? What are you planning to do?"

The Heaven Raising Bull asked.

"Kill them, of course," Lin Jiufeng said in a matter-of-factly manner.

The Heaven Raising Bull looked nervous.

This ferocious man was truly planning to kill them.

But there was also a demon who objected. "Since the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens have already appeared in the world, they must have absorbed the renewed spiritual energy of this era and had already recovered their formidable strength. Do you really think that you can win against the two of them alone?"

With these words, the other demons became excited.

If Lin Jiufeng was defeated or killed, then they would have a chance to escape.

"Do you think that they will be able to defeat me in the early stages of the recovery of the world's spiritual energy after just absorbing the renewed spiritual energy of the world?"

Lin Jiufeng sarcastically asked.

He wasn't worried about this problem at all.

The excited demons seemed to have been strangled as they choked at the same time.

Thinking about Lin Jiufeng's current strength, the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race that had only just appeared really wouldn't be able to defeat him.

"Why are you telling me all of this?" The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling asked curiously.

Since Lin Jiufeng could win, why was he talking to him then?

"I want you to persuade the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race. Stop them from overestimating their capabilities and causing trouble for the Yuhua God Dynasty." Lin Jiufeng calmly explained.

But every demon in the demon's den suddenly became excited.

Especially the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling.

He pointed at himself in disbelief. "You're letting me out?"

He was on the verge of tears.

Ten years.

Ten whole years.

Lin Jiufeng had suppressed them for ten years.

In these ten years, he had beaten up each and every one of them.

Well, almost…

It could be said that every demon in here had lived a depressing life so far in this brand new era.

But even so, they didn't give up on themselves.

Instead, they kept thinking about when they could leave.

As the world's spiritual energy recovered, more and more powerful cultivators would appear.

If someone were to defeat or kill Lin Jiufeng one day…

Then wouldn't they be able to escape?

But no one expected that Lin Jiufeng would actually take the initiative to release them.

"You don't want to go out?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"No, I want to go out," The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling replied in a hurry.

"But aren't you afraid that after I leave, I will join forces with the other Great Sages to destroy your Yuhua God Dynasty?" The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling asked curiously.

The other demons were also puzzled.

Why would Lin Jiufeng do this?

"I am letting you out because I don't want to fight with anyone for the time being. I don't want to fight with the Seven Sages, so I want you to go and persuade them."

"As for your question, if I am worried that you will bring me trouble when you got out, you're overthinking it."

"Not just you, but also the other demons. I am planning to release them all in the near future."

"If you guys can deliver a devastating blow to me, I will praise you lot instead."

Lin Jiufeng sternly announced.

In a few days, these demons would no longer be useful to him.

Lin Jiufeng would no longer be able to sign in using the demons in this demon's den.

Of course, he could continue to suppress them.

But he had no intention of doing so.

The demons below were all excited upon hearing Lin Jiufeng's words—they were excited to hear that he was planning on releasing them.

"Aren't you afraid that our 3,000 plus demons will completely destroy your Yuhua God Dynasty once we get out?" A Demon God asked.

"The strong will always remain strong. After I let you all out, don't you all still need some time to become stronger? To absorb the renewed spiritual energy of the world, and to recover your own strength before coming to me for revenge?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"To be honest, after these ten years, you lot aren't so useful to me anymore. I've thought about it seriously and I've decided to let you lot out."

"This world is simply too weak!"

"It's too slow to let the people of this world grow on their own. By releasing you guys, the world will have more powerhouses for they will feel pressured before your presences."

"Then, the recovery of the world's spiritual energy will also speed up."

"At that time, I will still be the same as before. I will still be able to suppress the world."

"I am simply dissatisfied with the recovery speed of the world's spiritual energy!"

Lin Jiufeng laid out his thoughts.

The current him already felt that this world was a mere cage to him.

The recovery of the world's spiritual energy was just incredibly slow for him.

Thus, he decided that the world itself needed a push.

He had to give the world a push so that the recovery speed of the world's spiritual energy would become slightly faster than a turtle's pace.

Chapter 97: Releasing the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Once the 3,000 plus demons were no longer useful for his signing-in, he would release them all into the world. This was a plan that Lin Jiufeng had made a long time ago.

The world was recovering from its previous drought and the quality of the world's spiritual energy was constantly improving.

Countless people benefited from this.

But for Lin Jiufeng, it simply wasn't enough.

Because his progress was faster than the recovery of the world's spiritual energy.

The recovery of the world's spiritual energy couldn't keep up with Lin Jiufeng's pace.

In the end, Lin Jiufeng decided to give it a push from behind the scenes.

When the demons in the demon's den heard Lin Jiufeng's words, they were all shocked.

He was that confident?

He was confident that he was powerful enough to suppress the world?

Some demons sneered.

They didn't believe Lin Jiufeng's words at all.

Once they were released, the one who would suffer would only be Lin Jiufeng.

Some demons were already planning to absorb the spiritual energy in the world to recover their strength after they got out.

Then, they would immediately come over to kill Lin Jiufeng and take their revenge.

Lin Jiufeng knew that these demons were scheming against him, but he didn't care.

He only looked at the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling and asked, "Do you agree?"

The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling asked solemnly, "I just need to persuade them not to make any trouble?"

"What if they don't listen to me?" He then followed up with another question.

"Then, they will be forcing me to make a move," Lin Jiufeng said coldly, "It's not that I can't make a move, but I don't want to. I have more important things to deal with."

If this Tauren-looking demon really couldn't persuade them, Lin Jiufeng could fight against them before the arrival of the first spring rain.

But at that time, Lin Jiufeng would be forced to use the aura he had accumulated so far to aid his breakthrough. The talismans he had prepared would also be damaged.

The gains would simply not make up for the losses.

After hearing Lin Jiufeng's words, the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling said straightforwardly, "Since you dare to let me out, I will definitely go out. I will also go and persuade them, but whether they will listen or not, I cannot guarantee."

Lin Jiufeng opened the seal of the demon's den and said, "Come up yourself."

The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling looked at the opened seal.

Excitement flickered in his eyes.

He had wanted to leave for a long time, but now, his dreams had finally come true.

Boom!

Ignoring his own injuries, the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling leaped into the air and directly left the demon's den.

The other demons below watched enviously.

They also wanted to go out.

Lin Jiufeng said, "Don't be envious. It won't be long before I release you all."

After saying this—without looking at their excited expressions—Lin Jiufeng closed the seal once more.

He looked at the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling.

His form was a Tauren.

But his original form was that of a Heaven Raising Bull—an ancient mutated beast with boundless strength and incredibly thick skin.

He was currently in his human form. There was a pair of horns on his head. His face was rough, and he was taller than Lin Jiufeng by a head. If estimated, he was about two meters tall.

Two words could be used to describe him directly—big and strong.

But in front of the delicate and weak-looking Lin Jiufeng, he remained prudent and cautious.

He didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Come out with me."

Lin Jiufeng turned and left, following the passageway into the Cold Palace up above.

The white cat laid on top of the cherry blossom tree. She was waiting for Lin Jiufeng's return. When she saw Lin Jiufeng coming out, she immediately stood up.

But when she saw the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, she held back and curiously paced back and forth instead.

Lin Jiufeng reached out, hugged the white cat into his arms, and gently stroked her fur.

"You live here?" The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling looked around and asked in confusion.

This was indeed a huge palace.

But the peeling walls, loose stone bricks, and the rotten wooden beams had all but decayed.

Was this an abandoned palace?

Lin Jiufeng might not be the strongest person in the world right now, but he was at least the strongest person from this era.

But why was he staying in such a place?

To think that his lifestyle was this modest…

Lin Jiufeng responded, "It isn't the height of the mountains that matters, but if there are Immortals living on it. A house might be dilapidated, but it's the virtue of the person staying there that matters in the end."

"Okay, I'm going now," said the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling.

"Go. Try to persuade them. I don't want to kill anyone for now," Lin Jiufeng calmly replied.

The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling choked.

These words of his were just too arrogant, but hearing them from Lin Jiufeng's mouth, he actually didn't think that there was anything wrong with them.

'There must be something wrong with me!'

The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling shook his head and turned to leave.

He leaped up and rode the clouds, disappearing from the Cold Palace.

In the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng stared at Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling's back without saying a word.

"Why did you let him go?" The white cat asked softly in Lin Jiufeng's arms.

The white cat knew that he was a demon from that underground demon's den and that he was a very powerful existence. Once he was released, he would absorb the renewed spiritual energy in the air and recover his peak strength.

By then, he would definitely be a huge problem.

"I am letting him persuade his comrades so that they won't come here to die," Lin Jiufeng said.

"Didn't you want to wait for the rain?" The white cat asked curiously.

"This rain might be arriving anytime now." Lin Jiufeng looked up at the sky.

The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

The air smelled of spring, moist and full of water.

The first spring rain was coming!

…

Forbidden City, Great Council Hall.

Upon Emperor De's return, he got people to gather information about all sorts of things related to the Seven Great Sages.

This investigation really made him discover a lot of things that he didn't know before.

The Great Sage of the Ocean Cover came into being from overseas.

His awakening was the result of a sea disaster that stirred up huge waves and shattered the island he was sealed on.

The power of nature was truly formidable.

The Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens came from a huge mountain.

He woke up from the mountain and opened his eyes to look at the world.

Then, he discovered that the Monster Race no longer had a place for them to live.

Hence, he was the first to say that he wanted to come to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty and take back the territory of the Monster Race from the human emperor of the God Dynasty.

Upon hearing this news, the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover also crossed the sea to come here.

He also wanted a piece of land for himself.

Right now, these two were the only ones who publicly demanded territory and said that they wanted to come to the Imperial Capital and visit Emperor De.

The other Great Sages appeared separately, but some only occupied a hilltop while others traveled the world to thoroughly take in the sights of this brand new era.

They never explicitly said that they were coming to the Imperial Capital.

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race had different personalities.

Among them, the ones that were the most irritable were the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens.

Their arrival caused the demonic sects that had been silent for a long time to celebrate wantonly.

The demonic sects that had become silent after being beaten up by Lin Jiufeng a few years ago now appeared once again. They were cheering for these two Great Sages with all of their might.

The information that Emperor De gathered was also spread around by the demonic sects.

After collecting this information, Emperor De happily brought the information he gathered along and went to see Lin Jiufeng on a dark and windy night.

In front of the Cold Palace, Emperor De said respectfully, "Big Grand-Uncle, I've already gathered the information you need."

Meow!

The white cat appeared. It took away the bundle of information and left Emperor De alone.

"Go back and manage the dynasty properly. Someone will deal with the Seven Sages. Easing the worries of your citizens is what you should do right now," Lin Jiufeng said.

"Okay… Thank you in advance, Big Grand-Uncle! I shall take my leave now."

Emperor De left in satisfaction.

After receiving Lin Jiufeng's guarantee, his worries disappeared.

To save the Yuhua God Dynasty and to protect Emperor Yuan's legacy, he had put in quite a bit of effort.

Fortunately, there were people in the Yuhua God Dynasty that he could depend on.

When Emperor De returned to the Forbidden City in a good mood, he was called over by the Empress Dowager. In Empress Dowager's palace, Princess Yulin was also present.

Both women then looked at Emperor De.

Chapter 98: Demon King Jiao

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Greetings, Mother."

Emperor De stepped forward to greet her, then he looked curiously at Princess Yulin.

"Aren't you cultivating in seclusion?" Emperor De asked.

"Brother. With such a big problem happening to the God Dynasty, how can I continue to cultivate in seclusion?" Princess Yulin asked.

"Big trouble?" Emperor De looked puzzled. "What trouble? Why didn't I know about it?"

Princess Yulin looked at Emperor De in confusion.

"Emperor, isn't the biggest problem that we're facing right now are the Seven Great Sages?"

The Empress Dowager asked.

"How did Mother know of this?" Emperor De asked curiously.

Ever since the Empress Dowager transferred the God Dynasty's power to Emperor De, she had been living in seclusion without asking about the state affairs anymore.

She believed that Emperor De would handle it well on his own.

If he really encountered trouble, she still had a trump card that she could use to save the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Hence, she had always been living peacefully in a rather stable state of mind.

But in the past few days, the rumors of the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race had become increasingly rampant. This news quietly spread throughout the Imperial Capital even though Emperor De had ordered that discussing this issue publicly was forbidden.

But defending against a flash flood was easier than defending against the mouths of the common people. In fact, preventing them from speaking up would just make them even more excited to speak about it.

"Emperor De. On the surface, the court officials and the commoners are not discussing this matter, but in private, even the maids and servants are talking about it. Do you think that it's possible for me to not know of this?" The Empress Dowager asked solemnly.

"Brother, the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race are indeed very powerful. They have already broken through into the Grotto-Heaven Realm and are considered to be some of the most powerful demons in this world. What are your plans?" Princess Yulin asked.

Emperor De opened his mouth, wanting to answer.

But the Empress Dowager interrupted.

"You are not allowed to give up even an inch of the land that your Grandpa and Father Emperor left behind for you. If you did such a thing, I will surely break your legs."

Emperor De smiled bitterly and replied,

"Mother, I won't give up even an inch of the Yuhua God Dynasty's land."

"There's no need to worry about it anymore. The Seven Great Sages are indeed powerful, but it's not like there's no one who can handle them in our Yuhua God Dynasty."

"Leave this matter to Mother to handle…"

"Just continue to do your job as the Emperor," The Empress Dowager said sternly.

She was going to use the trump card that Emperor Ming left behind.

She believed that the Yuhua God Dynasty was in grave danger.

She had to treat this threat seriously and reveal that trump card.

But Emperor De directly rejected her request and replied, "Mother, the news about the so-called Seven Great Sages is already spreading like wildfire, but we don't have to be afraid. I already have a solution, there's no need for you to worry."

The Empress Dowager and Princess Yulin were surprised by Emperor De's confidence.

"Brother, what are your chances of dealing with the Seven Great Sages whose cultivation bases are beyond the Human God Realm?" Princess Yulin asked curiously.

The Empress Dowager was also rather curious.

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race were powerful existences beyond the Human God Realm.

On the surface, no one in the entire Yuhua God Dynasty had exceeded the Human God Realm.

How could they possibly be a match for them?

Emperor De smiled mysteriously and said, "There's no need to worry. Someone has already taken responsibility for this matter."

"I'm the Emperor, I naturally have to be responsible for the people of the world and the foundation of my ancestors. You guys just have to watch over this matter, there's no need to worry about it anymore."

Princess Yulin stared meticulously at Emperor De.

Suddenly, she asked in surprise, "Did you go to find my Master?"

Princess Yulin remembered that Emperor De had taken the key to the Cold Palace from her.

The previous Emperor De looked very troubled.

But now, he was full of confidence and high-spirited.

He wasn't worried about the Seven Great Sages at all.

The contrast between the before and after was just too obvious.

Princess Yulin immediately understood the crux of the matter.

Emperor De smiled without saying anything.

"Is it really my Master?" Princess Yulin stood up in surprise.

"I want to go and find Master." Princess Yulin added anxiously.

"Wait." Emperor De stopped Princess Yulin and shook his head. "Don't disturb him."

Princess Yulin looked at Emperor De.

She was unwilling to let the matter rest so easily.

"Master has already seen you, but he doesn't even want to see me?"

Emperor De explained.

"He's indifferent to worldly affairs and likes peace and quiet. Don't disturb him."

Princess Yulin murmured, "In the past five years, I've been practicing my swordsmanship non-stop every day. I've already learned the sword techniques that Master had imparted to me. I want to show my improvement on them to Master."

Emperor De comforted her. "There will be a chance for that in the future."

Empress Dowager listened from the side and muttered in surprise, "You really found that mysterious master?"

"Mother, just the three of us shall know of this matter. There's no need to publicize it," Emperor De said softly.

"I know…"

"Powerhouses all like to be indifferent to fame and fortune. They don't want to expose themselves. Since you are confident about it, then I'm relieved. I'm saved from the headache and trouble." Empress Dowager was overjoyed.

She didn't have to use her trump card for now.

Moreover, Emperor De also had another powerhouse backing him right now and they also didn't have to worry about the Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race anymore.

This was simply solving many problems at once.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed.

It was just that neither she nor Emperor De expected that both of their backing was the same person—Lin Jiufeng.

…

Outside the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty, a huge river existed.

The released Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling stood by the riverside and crazily absorbed the spiritual energy in the air.

The surging spiritual energy was then swallowed by him like a whale. Then, he exerted his strength and pressed the spiritual energy into his stomach, causing it to explode.

Moo!

The roar of the Heaven Raising Bull shook the mountains and rivers.

His roar resounded throughout the world.

The injuries that Lin Jiufeng had inflicted on him were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He transformed into his true form and stood by the riverside.

This was the roar of the Heaven Raising Bull from thousands of years ago, it was now echoing throughout the world.

Thousands of miles away, a flood dragon was flying through the clouds and mist in the sky.

Hearing the roar of the Heaven Raising Bull, it called out in excitement.

Roar!

This was the roar of the flood dragon. It shattered the white clouds within a thousand-mile radius and its roar itself was transmitted into the ears of the Heaven Raising Bull.

The Heaven Raising Bull stood in its original spot. It wagged its tail and waited quietly.

After a while, a flood dragon flew out from the clouds. It was huge with bumps on its head and black scales that were as tough as steel knives on its body.

Rumble!

It penetrated the clouds in the sky and its huge body dropped straight down.

He smashed into the vast river, splashing water hundreds of meters high.

In the very next moment, the water was split open and a huge flood dragon head emerged.

It stared at the Heaven Raising Bull that was tens of meters tall as it asked.

"Old Bull, when did you wake up?"

"Just now!" The Heaven Raising Bull replied in a muffled voice.

"Okay. Come with me, let's go to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty and look for that human emperor. Let them give up the territory that originally belonged to us and we will also ask him to compensate us!"

"They are just humans, we can easily manipulate them. We shall rebuild our strength and restore the terrifying reputation of the Monster Race." The Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao, announced loudly.

The confidence in his tone sure was contagious.

But the Heaven Raising Bull only shook its head and said, "Demon King Jiao, we can't go to the Imperial Capital!"

"What did you say?" Demon King Jiao looked at the Heaven Raising Bull in surprise.

Its lantern-like eyes stared at the Heaven Raising Bull.

Fury brewed inside.

"There's a very terrifying existence in the Imperial Capital…"

"Don't provoke him," the Heaven Raising Bull replied honestly.

"All this time, only others have been afraid of us—the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race. Since when have we been afraid of others?" Demon King Jiao retorted in anger.

His body suddenly rushed out of the water's surface as he raised his head in agitation.

"He's different," Heaven Raising Bull replied in a low voice.

"What's the difference? Is he the reincarnation of some terrifying big shot?" Demon King Jiao snorted coldly.

He levitated up in the air, his body was huge that it seemed to cover the sky itself.

His attitude remained arrogant despite the Heaven Raising Bull's persuasion.

"I won't harm you. If you really insist on going to the Imperial Capital, you will be in big trouble."

The Heaven Raising Bull advised once more.

"Old Bull, you've just come out. I reckon that you still don't understand the state of the world in this brand new era. But I don't blame you. You said that there's a terrifying existence in the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty?"

"I'll go and kill him right now…"

"I'll show you what true terror is!" Demon King Jiao's body shook and he was about to leave.

In the Imperial Capital thousands of miles away, Lin Jiufeng looked at the sky and sighed.

"Why must you force me to make a move?"

Chapter 99: Arriving In the Rain

On the riverbank of the Wei River, a flood dragon's aura flourished. He refused to listen as his huge body twisted while his dragon claws gesticulated into the sky as if he was trying to grab the sun, moon, and the stars.

His aura was clearly stronger than those in the early stages of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

In this world, he truly had the right to be arrogant.

It has only been a few months since he came into being, yet he had already recovered to this extent. Why should he listen to the Heaven Raising Bull?

The Heaven Raising Bull looked at the proud and conceited Demon King Jiao.

He couldn't help but sigh in helplessness.

Demon King Jiao was indeed powerful.

He had recovered quite quickly, but he definitely wasn't in his peak condition.

In contrast to him, that fellow in the Imperial Capital seemed to be always in his peak state.

The demons in the demon's den inside the Cold Palace had long come to a consensus that they must not provoke Lin Jiufeng before they thoroughly recovered their strength.

Every demon in that demon's den understood why this was important.

But Demon King Jiao had no idea about what those demons experienced under Lin Jiufeng's hands.

Demon King Jiao bared his fangs and brandished his claws.

With his body in the form of a flood dragon, he moved through the clouds with his boundless aura pervading into everything around him.

"Old Bull, despite living through an entire era, you've become a coward. I can already command the wind and the clouds with my ability right now. I have taken another step further into my journey of becoming a true dragon."

"Why must I be afraid of humans?" Demon King Jiao was unconvinced. To show his present might to the Heaven Raising Bull, he even flew into the air and used his ability to command the wind and the clouds.

Countless people on the land underneath saw a humongous black dragon shuttling back and forth through the clouds. Not only that, but the black dragon was also showering the world beneath him with droplets of rain as it displayed its powerful abilities to the world.

The people turned pale at such a terrifying sight. They knelt on the ground and prayed.

When the cultivators saw this scene, their faces turned green with fear. To be able to control the wind and the clouds, and to produce rain in the process, this black dragon was tremendously powerful.

Moreover, this theory of theirs was further supported by the fact that they recognized the identity of the black dragon soaring through the skies. They could see that it was Demon King Jiao—one of the Seven Great Sages with the body of a flood dragon.

When Demon King Wyrm Jiao saw the people's reaction beneath, he roared with laughter that was so loud it shook everything on the land underneath.

He strutted around and said to the Heaven Raising Bull.

"Look! These ignorant humans have knelt down before me!"

"They are worshipping me as if I'm a god."

"Humans have always been foolish and ignorant!"

Demon King Jiao looked triumphantly at the Heaven Raising Bull.

The Heaven Raising Bull made a sidelong glance at the Demon King Jiao. After displaying his ability to command the winds and the clouds, the latter looked lofty, confident, and even arrogant.

The Heaven Raising Bull wanted to say something, but he had only just left the demon's den beneath that Cold Palace and he hadn't completely recovered from his injuries just yet.

He couldn't be bothered to argue.

"Demon King Jiao, you are still as arrogant as ever." The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, the Heaven Raising Bull, sighed. In the end, this was all that he could say.

"I am already at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. I am the King of the Monster Race. If I don't stand up for the Monster Race as their King, who will?"

Demon King Jiao continued to stir the wind and the clouds.

His terrifying aura covered an entire ten thousand miles with him standing at the center.

Then, rain fell from the skies.

It was accompanied by the deep roars of thunder above the clouds.

The Demon King Jiao's haughty laughter soon followed.

His aura alone made the human cultivators beneath him unable to breathe.

In the Imperial Capital, countless people raised their heads and watched this scene with pale faces.

Human Gods were very powerful, but they were unable to stir up a storm that spanned thousands of miles, nor were they able to make their auras surge for the same distance.

In other words, this flood dragon was at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

And he was most certainly in the late stages of the terrifying Grotto-Heaven Realm.

He was unrivaled in this world!

Everyone looked at the massive Demon King Jiao.

At this moment, fear rose in their hearts.

How could they defend against an existence this strong?

A million-strong army perhaps wouldn't be able to withstand even a flick of this flood dragon's tail.

In the Forbidden City, Emperor De and Princess Yulin stood side by side as they watched this chilling scene.

"An era where cultivators can change the world itself has arrived…"

Emperor De sighed, his expression ugly.

A Human God Realm was already strong enough to disregard the rules made by the mortals of the Mortal Realm. However, if one was at the Grotto-Heaven Realm. It would be an understatement to say that they would be able to deal with anything they were dissatisfied with.

The scene shocked Emperor De.

He was already a Martial Sage expert, but in front of an existence at the Grotto-Heaven Realm, he knew that he had absolutely no chance of surviving.

He wouldn't even be able to attack such an enemy.

After all, he couldn't even resist that existence's aura.

Princess Yulin muttered all of a sudden.

"Give me some time, I will step into the Grotto-Heaven Realm."

Emperor De looked at the heavy rain, at the rolling thunder, and at the deafening roar from thousands of miles away.

Fear was written all over his face.

His heart trembled, but his tone remained inexplicably firm.

"Big Grand-Uncle will definitely be able to defeat him!"

Princess Yulin looked at Emperor De in surprise.

Big Grand-Uncle?

Her Master was her Big Grand-Uncle?

She had no idea at all…

…

Imperial Capital, Cold Palace.

Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat.

Dressed in green robes, his hair was rolled into a bun.

He looked just like a little Daoist priest with a refreshing and bright demeanor.

Lin Jiufeng—despite being almost 70 years old—still looked young as if he had never aged.

The white cat in his arms looked at the rain that kept falling from the sky and said, "Is this the rain that you are waiting for?"

Lin Jiufeng smiled. "I was patiently waiting for a particular rain. But that rain has come in advance, all thanks to Demon King Jiao."

Lin Jiufeng had estimated that the spring rain he was waiting for would arrive seven days later.

His estimate was made after measuring the stars at night and measuring the occurrence frequency of astrological phenomena in recent months. In the remaining seven days, Lin Jiufeng planned to do his best not to get into a fight with anyone.

But Demon King Jiao forced the spring rain to come in advance.

In Lin Jiufeng's eyes, the world after this rain would be a brand new world.

A world that belonged to the strong.

The white cat asked curiously. "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Come with me…"

"I want to break through into the next realm with one strike!" Lin Jiufeng replied.

He carried the white cat and stepped into the rain.

The heavy rain fell and lightning flashed in the air.

It was like the end of the world.

And there was no one loitering in the usually busy streets.

The water droplets constantly splashed onto the ground.

In just a short moment, Lin Jiufeng had already walked out of the Imperial Capital.

With the disappearance of a single droplet into the ground, Lin Jiufeng had completed his journey.

Amidst the lightning that filled the sky, Lin Jiufeng took a step forward.

The lightning and water vapors gathered together and transformed into a lotus beneath his feet.

A lotus bloomed with every step!

Thousands of miles away on the riverbank of the Wei River, Demon King Jiao felt proud and rightfully arrogant.

He watched as the world trembled and wailed under his might.

He thoroughly enjoyed such a scene.

"Old Bull, do you still think that I can't defeat that human whom you're scared of in the Imperial Capital?" Demon King Jiao asked.

The Heaven Raising Bull was just about to speak when all the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end. His entire body screamed for him to make a run for it as he jolted and quickly turned his head to look into the distance that was being covered by the heavy rain.

A figure walked over slowly.

He was dressed in green and he had a pale look on his face.

Nevertheless, his bearing remained leisurely and there was this otherworldly air around him.

The rain avoided him.

The lightning respected him.

And the wind clung to him.

Everything around him—even the earth—sang their praises for his presence.

The sun, the moon, the stars, the rain, the thunder, and the lightning disappeared all at once.

In the eyes of the Heaven Raising Bull, there was only Lin Jiufeng.

The former's heart, body, and even his hair began to tremble.

'Lin Jiufeng… He's here.'

Amidst the heavy rain, Lin Jiufeng walked towards them.

Despite walking ever so slowly and without a hint of any powerful aura coming from his body, every step that he took seemed to be in sync with the pounding of the Heaven Raising Bull's heart.

The Heaven Raising Bull found it hard to breathe.

No one understood Lin Jiufeng's might better than the demons trapped in the demon's den beneath that Cold Palace in the past ten years.

"Demon King Jiao, just surrender…"

"He's here!"

The Heaven Raising Bull hurriedly turned around and roared in horror.

He wanted to save this brother of his.

Chapter 100: Suppressing the Flood Dragon with a Sword

The Heaven Raising Bull desperately roared.

He was afraid that if he shouted even a second later, Lin Jiufeng would make his move and Demon King Jiao would be no more in a blink of an eye.

But…

In this heavy rain, Demon King Jiao's confidence remained unprecedentedly high. He levitated in the air with his huge body. Exuding a boundless aura and confidence, how could he possibly listen to the words of the Heaven Raising Bull?

Instead, he let out an even louder roar.

The head of the flood dragon looked hideous and terrifying.

His mouth opened and released a terrifying wave of air that charged over to Lin Jiufeng.

Roar!!!

His loud roar reverberated powerfully and it shattered the droplets of water in the air, causing it to splash everywhere.

A powerful wave of air surged over, it was about to slap Lin Jiufeng on the face.

Demon King Jiao directly roared, wanting to kill Lin Jiufeng through the vibration caused by his roar itself.

The terrifying scene of a flood dragon fiercely roaring in the air became deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone.

A young man in green clothes with a cat in his arms stood on the ground beneath the flood dragon.

In between the young man and the flood dragon, the wave of air gathered more power as it surged and flew over.

Just the edges of this wave alone were enough to kill a Martial Sage.

It was an understatement to say that it was terrifying.

The Heaven Raising Bull watched this scene.

His vision went dark, and the hope inside his heart was extinguished.

Demon King Jiao actually dared to attack Lin Jiufeng?

Every powerful and confident demon in that demon's den knew the consequences of such a foolish act.

After all, each and every one of them had once received a beatdown from Lin Jiufeng.

But now, Demon King Jiao directly made a move that shook the world, especially the powerhouses in the Imperial Capital. These powerhouses looked into the distance and saw this shocking scene from thousands of miles away.

The flood dragon's boundless might surged as the Wei River itself overflowed.

However, on the Wei River's riverbanks was a young man dressed in green. His pale complexion betrayed the relaxed light within his eyes as he faced the Demon King Jiao who was more than hundreds of times bigger than him in size.

Demon King Jiao let out a loud roar.

His terrifying aura alone scared those that were keen to watch the battle.

Feeling the chill that ran down their spines—they knew at that moment that if they were in Lin Jiufeng's shoes—they could only wait for their deaths against such a horrible monster.

But Lin Jiufeng was different.

Strong winds blew against his face.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, but his feet remained motionless as he stood tall similar to a towering mountain.

In the face of this wave of air, Lin Jiufeng merely raised his hand.

Without making any other move, he lightly tapped his finger in the air.

Crack!

The void cracked like a mirror in front of Lin Jiufeng.

The violent wave of air directly collided with the shattered space.

In an instant, the shattered space was torn apart.

Shuash!

The wave of air remained steadfast as it constantly tore apart the void itself. In a blink of an eye, it had assimilated with the shattered space, forming an even larger storm that continuously expanded like the universe.

It headed for Lin Jiufeng, clearly wanting to devour him whole.

Those who saw this scene didn't even blink.

How could they possibly miss such an exciting showdown?

"Die!" Demon King Jiao roared with laughter.

Although he was arrogant, the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling remained apprehensive when mentioning Lin Jiufeng…

As a result, he didn't hold back at all.

He had recovered his strength and was now at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

This was his first time using all of his strength upon waking up in this brand new era.

Amidst his roar of laughter was a true dragon's might that he had just mulled over and understood. Despite being arrogant, he was also a demon that would never spare any of his enemies. He didn't hold back because he didn't want to give his enemy a chance to strike.

In his eyes, Lin Jiufeng had already lost.

Lin Jiufeng didn't take his roar seriously at all and was actually still standing motionless on the ground down below.

It would be far too late for this human to regret since he had already made his move.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the shattered space.

The shattered space had assimilated the wave of air as it continued to fly over to him.

The white cat became anxious.

She hurriedly said in Lin Jiufeng's arms. "Move, hurry! Dodge this strike."

"There's no need to dodge," Lin Jiufeng simply replied.

"What did you say?" The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise.

"You asked me before why I was waiting for the rain. Let me tell you now, I'm waiting for this spring rain to cleanse this world so that I can make a breakthrough with one strike!"

Lin Jiufeng looked at the white cat and smiled.

He remained confident and powerful in the face of danger.

Then, he took a step forward…

Clang!

A black sword appeared in his hand.

What appeared was his Demon Slaying Sword.

Rumble!

The combined might of the wave of air and the shattered space was tremendously powerful.

But Lin Jiufeng merely drew his sword and slashed forcefully.

Crack!

A crisp sound reverberated as it echoed throughout heaven and earth.

What happened next was something that no spectator wanted to miss.

They watched on with their eyes wide open

From a distance far away, the wave of air combined with the shattered space's might was sliced into two halves by Lin Jiufeng's sword.

The sword energy produced by his attack didn't stop, however, as it flew towards Demon King Jiao.

In a blink of an eye, the sword energy sliced off the pair of dragon horns that Demon King Jiao had painstakingly formed on his forehead for the sake of his journey into becoming a true dragon.

Demon King Jiao instantly let out a mournful cry.

Blood rolled down his forehead, dying his head completely red.

The rest of his blood fell into the Wei River and it dyed the water in the same color.

"H-How… How can you be so powerful? Who… What exactly are you?" Demon King Jiao let out a blood-curdling scream as he stared at Lin Jiufeng in shock and anger.

His confidence from before had long been wiped out by Lin Jiufeng's sword move.

"You don't have to know who I am. I've already asked the Heaven Raising Bull to persuade you, but you refused to listen," Lin Jiufeng said helplessly.

With the sword in hand, he pointed at Demon King Jiao while shaking his head.

"You've actually surpassed the Grotto-Heaven Realm in this brand new era? Which old monster are you from the previous epoch?" Demon King Jiao felt bitter.

He hurriedly tried to escape.

Lin Jiufeng was just too terrifying.

"You won't be able to escape." Lin Jiufeng looked at the escaping Demon King Jiao.

He raised his brows and was about to attack once more.

"Senior, I beg you! Don't kill him! All seven of us can pay any price, just keep him alive!" The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, the Heaven Raising Bull, moved in front of Lin Jiufeng.

His two front hooves went soft as he knelt on the ground and pleaded pitifully.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the Heaven Raising Bull. He suddenly recalled the countless sign-in opportunities in the past ten years that the demons in the demon's den beneath the Cold Palace had brought him.

"Alright, for your sake, I won't kill him. I can spare his life, but he can't go unpunished." Lin Jiufeng raised his hand, and a sword case appeared in his palm.

With a flick of his finger, the sword case opened and 36 swords flew out from within.

36 Swords of the Demonic Path!

The 36 swords formed a terrifying sword formation, manifesting into a demonic dragon that Lin Jiufeng could control at will.

The demonic dragon materialized in the air and let out a true dragon's roar.

Roar!

The dragon's roar immediately extinguished the energy in Demon King Jiao's body as he went soft and lost his strength to escape.

"Spare me, Senior!" Demon King Jiao panicked as he immediately begged for mercy.

"Be obedient and stay in silence beneath the Wei River." Lin Jiufeng coldly snorted.

With a thought, the demonic dragon formed from the 36 demonic swords roared and directly swallowed Demon King Jiao before it sank into the Wei River.

Rumble!

A dragon's tomb appeared in the vast Wei River.

Surrounding the dragon's tomb were 36 demonic swords that stood steadfast, seemingly having the ability to pierce the skies.

The Heaven Raising Bull watched this scene with a complex expression on his face.

He had already begged for mercy. Right now, he didn't even dare to speak anymore.

Amidst the heavy rain, Lin Jiufeng displayed changed the way everyone looked at the world.

One of the Seven Great Sages—Demon King Jiao—who was powerful enough to overturn the rules of the world itself was easily suppressed by Lin Jiufeng.

The scene of which everyone unanimously described as—Suppressing the Flood Dragon With a Sword Beneath the Rain—had already become a legend in the minds of those that witnessed it with their very own eyes.

Till the day they died, they were bound to never forget it.

Chapter 101: Everyone Has Weaknesses

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The rain continued to fall from the skies.

But the surging Wei River had become quiet.

The dragon's tomb sat coldly in the center of the Wei River.

36 stone statues in the shape of swords surrounded and suppressed it.

Demon King Jiao let out an indignant roar from the inside, but he couldn't do anything at all because his body had been penetrated by the 36 swords.

The swords didn't kill him, but they nailed him firmly to the riverbed.

He couldn't move at all.

Everyone was stunned by the outcome of the battle.

The Demon King Jiao, who caused trouble by commanding the rain and the clouds for thousands of miles resulting in a heavy downpour…

The Demon King Jiao, who made millions of people kneel down to him in worship…

That same Demon King Jiao was suppressed just like that?

Who exactly was this person who suppressed him?

In the Imperial Capital, the powerhouses of the aristocratic families, the rogue cultivators, the sect powerhouses, and the royal consecrators were all watching with their necks stretched high.

Thousands of miles away, they could only see Lin Jiufeng's back.

He was dressed entirely in green, his black hair was tied into a bun, and his sleeves moved with the wind.

He looked truly otherworldly and powerful.

Lin Jiufeng's face couldn't be seen at all.

Some people became apprehensive.

Just how powerful was this expert?

Imperial Capital, Forbidden City.

Both Emperor De and Princess Yulin found themselves speechless.

The way they looked at the world had changed.

Even Princess Yulin found it hard to believe what she just saw.

And she was someone who had once slaughtered her way to the Wolf Storey Mountain…

Her feat back then had shocked the world speechless, but what she had done didn't seem comparable to the scene that she just witnessed today.

When Demon King Jiao commanded the wind and the clouds, everyone could feel the terrifying might he possessed. They were certain that he held power beyond that of the Human God Realm.

The people of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow were only in the Human God Realm at most.

Princess Yulin thought that her mysterious master was a powerhouse who had entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

But from the looks of it, she couldn't be more wrong.

Emperor De coughed and said, "Why didn't I know before that such a powerful Big Grand-Uncle existed?"

He really regretted it. If it was Lin Jiufeng who gave him pointers when he was cultivating back then, he would've been a Human God Realm expert by now.

But he was still happy for Princess Yulin. After all, they were related by blood. Moreover, both of them were happy that the person who had suppressed Demon King Jiao was their big Grand-Uncle, an ancestor that belonged to the same lineage as them.

Especially Princess Yulin…

In the past, she was afraid of disturbing Lin Jiufeng.

She was afraid she might accidentally elicit his fury.

But now that she knew the truth, she felt that she had to go and see this Big Grand-Uncle of hers.

Then, she would tell him that she had never once slacked off in the five years that passed.

Right now, she judged that her swordsmanship must be up to his standards at the very least.

…

Ever since they reappeared in this era…

The Zenith Heaven Path Sect whose foundation had taken root close to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty had long regarded the dynasty as their own.

They were already prepared to make a move.

After so many years of preparation, they decided that it was about time.

After all, some of their original powerhouses from the previous era had already awakened with most of them having already recovered at least ten percent of their full strength.

Recovering at least ten percent of their original strength so early into this brand new era was already something to celebrate about.

The Zenith Heaven Path Sect was about to enact their plan of controlling the Yuhua God Dynasty and turning it into a secular dynasty of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.

As for why they didn't make a move after deliberating for so long, it was because they were afraid of the hidden expert within the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

They were afraid of the hidden expert who gave Princess Yulin pointers and told her to slaughter her way to Wolf Storey Mountain.

The Zenith Heaven Path Sect had not relaxed their search for that hidden expert in the years that passed, but they had no clue about his identity at all.

Just as they were getting impatient, they received news that the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race were attacking the Imperial Capital.

With the news of their impending attack, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect stopped their plans and decided to lie low. They planned to come back and continue their plans of controlling the Yuhua God Dynasty after the dust had settled.

The Zenith Heaven Path Sect knew just how powerful the Seven Great Sages were. They didn't want to provoke them unless it was absolutely necessary. Thus, they decided to lie low and wait for the Seven Great Sages' victory to negotiate with them for a piece of land within the dynasty.

But…

Sect Leader Luo Yu had never imagined even in his wildest dreams that the Demon King Jiao who shook the world the moment he appeared…

The Demon King Jiao whom they could never afford to offend would actually be defeated and suppressed so easily.

It felt as if he didn't even resist his enemy.

As for the Heaven Raising Bull, he watched silently from the side, not even daring to fart.

Sect Master Luo Yu looked at Lin Jiufeng's green-robed back and gasped.

He softly muttered.

"This is getting more complicated now…"

Every high-ranking member of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect had gathered in the hall.

Each and every one of them was rendered speechless by the scene that they saw above the Wei River.

Lin Jiufeng's might thoroughly scared them.

"This is just the beginning of a brand new era. Logically speaking, such a terrifying powerhouse shouldn't appear so early, right?"

"I originally thought that it was already shocking enough to see the recovered Demon King Jiao…"

"He's already at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. His recovery speed had surprised me when I learned about it, but knowing that he is one of the Seven Great Sages, I could still accept it…"

"But…"

"What's up with him?"

A powerhouse from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect pointed at Lin Jiufeng's back in surprise.

The existence of a peak Grotto-Heaven Realm expert so early in this brand new era was already unbelievable.

So, how could someone be more powerful than the current Demon King Jiao?

The high-ranking members of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect were unable to give an answer.

"Let's keep a low profile for now. He's too terrifying. It will be easy for him to suppress us if he wants to. Let's not touch the Yuhua God Dynasty for now."

Sect Master Luo Yu eventually made a decision.

In the end, he decided to first take a closer look at the situation before deciding whether they should reveal their hidden agendas to the Yuhua God Dynasty and to the world.

…

The entire world was crazily spreading the news about Lin Jiufeng.

After the battle at the Wei River, he instantly became famous.

The title of the Yuhua God Dynasty's guardian god was once again remembered by the people.

But Lin Jiufeng couldn't hear their conversation at this moment.

He stood on the riverbanks of the Wei River.

The pitter-patter of rainwater fell in front of his eyes.

They splashed onto the ground, eventually forming into puddles.

Rainwater fell into the Wei River.

Waves appeared on the already quiet waters.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the Heaven Raising Bull and said, "My seal won't expire on its own, but I won't stop him from absorbing the spiritual energy in the air. As long as he breaks my seal, he can come out."

The Heaven Raising Bull walked to Lin Jiufeng's side.

His body became smaller as he looked at the dragon's tomb alongside Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng still gave Demon King Jiao some face.

He didn't seal him in a flood dragon's tomb but instead used a dragon's tomb.1

"I will advise him well and also stand guard for him. This suppression can also be considered to be suppressing his arrogance. Everything about him is good, just that there is a big problem with his character." The Heaven Raising Bull sighed.

"How did all of you become brothers then?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

"It's simply because we're lonely. Having each other around as we travel the world is a form of reassurance that we are not alone. Even now, I'm still used to having them around." The Great Sage of Heaven Leveling said, his mood immediately turned somber.

"Each of us has our own weaknesses. As a result, we are different from each other."

"Demon King Jiao's weakness is that he is easily enraged."

"And I am a glutton…"

"The others are arrogance, jealousy, laziness, greed, and lust."

"We tolerated each other and turned our weaknesses into strengths. We became a perfect group. At least, that was what happened to us in the beginning."

"It's just that after we became stronger, our weaknesses also became stronger along with our cultivation realms. Soon, we became no longer compatible with each other. That is why the Seven Great Sages fell apart. In fact, it's been so long since I've seen and met with the others."

"But today, I'm finally reunited with Demon King Jiao." The Great Sage of Heaven Leveling, Heaven Raising Bull, said.

Lin Jiufeng maintained his silence as he listened.

Chapter 102: The History of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race all had their own shortcomings

And they were able to supplement the weaknesses of each other with their strengths.

This was why they were able to form a group in the previous era.

But every group or team would eventually fall apart.

When the previous era came to an end, the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race also came to an end.

After each of them left in a fit of anger, the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, the Heaven Raising Bull, went to participate in the construction of the demon's den beneath the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty's Cold Palace.

The Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao, went overseas and set up a large array formation on a small island to completely seal himself.

The others had their own places to go. In any case, they weren't together anymore.

This was also why in this era, the locations where the Seven Great Sages appeared have been all different and distant from each other.

"Since you guys have already gone your own separate ways, why are you still pleading on his behalf?" Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.

"Our relationships were nurtured over an entire era. We supported each other when we were weak and we've experienced a lot together along the way. He once risked his life to save me too. Even if he won't listen to me, I can't just watch as Demon King Jiao dies," said the Heaven Raising Bull.

A relationship that was nurtured over an entire era.

His few simple words contained countless years of companionship, laughter, and fooling around together.

Demon King Pingtian was a sentimental person, which was why he begged Lin Jiufeng to spare Demon King Jiao's life.

"I spared Demon King Jiao. You owe me a favor for that," Lin Jiufeng said.

Demon King Pingtian nodded and replied, "You're right. I owe you a favor. If you have any needs in the future, just tell me. As long as it's something that I can do, I will definitely do it. If it's something that I can't do, I will do my best to ask the other brothers for help."

His words were sincere.

Demon King Pingtian also knew that the reason why Demon King Jiao was still alive was because of Lin Jiufeng giving him face.

But to be honest, his face wasn't worth much.

When he spoke, he wasn't confident at all.

After all, his relationship with Lin Jiufeng was that of a boxer and a punching bag.

Lin Jiufeng had been suppressing the demon's den for ten whole years, and only today did he talk so much with Lin Jiufeng.

In the past, not a word between them was exchanged.

It wasn't until Lin Jiufeng beat and severely injured him that Demon King Pingtian's relationship with Lin Jiufeng became 'closer'.

The type of special relationship between the attacker and the person being attacked.

Hence, when Lin Jiufeng agreed, Demon King Pingtian truly was surprised.

Then, he felt very grateful.

At the very least, Lin Jiufeng spared Demon King Jiao's life for his sake.

Thus, he made a solemn promise.

If Lin Jiufeng needed his help in the future, Lin Jiufeng just had to ask.

If he couldn't do it, then he would go look for his brothers for help.

"Why wait for the future when you can help me out now?" Lin Jiufeng interrupted Demon King Pingtian's thoughts and said directly.

Demon King Pingtian was stunned.

He looked at Lin Jiufeng and blinked his huge eyes.

Then, he said solemnly, "Please give me your order. I will definitely do what I can."

Lin Jiufeng looked at his serious look and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so serious. What I want you to do is not so troublesome. I just want to ask you a few questions."

Demon King Pingtian was dumbfounded.

He was already prepared to go all out to complete Lin Jiufeng's request.

For example, clearing out the troubles in the world for the Yuhua God Dynasty?

Working for the Yuhua God Dynasty for decades?

Although it was hard for him to accept this kind of request, a gentleman would never go back on his word. As long as Lin Jiufeng said it, he would definitely do his best to complete it.

But who would have thought that Lin Jiufeng only wanted him to answer a few questions?

Demon King Pingtian asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Are you one of the original builders of the demon's den?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Yes, I participated in the construction of that demon's den." Demon King Pingtian nodded.

"Why was that place chosen for the demon's den?" Lin Jiufeng continued to ask.

"Because that place is a Land of Extreme Negative Energy. It can gather the spiritual energy of the world and it won't let it dissipate so easily. It can also maintain the spiritual energy in the air for a very long time," Demon King Pingtian replied.

"Was that area already like that when it was discovered in the previous era?" Lin Jiufeng asked with a rather pensive look.

"Yes." Demon King Pingtian replied almost immediately.

Lin Jiufeng frowned.

Not long after entering the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng had already discovered the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

In the beginning, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was still very weak.

It only nurtured the spirit of Imperial Consort Jia and turned her into a malicious spirit.

But that malicious spirit had no offensive power at all.

At that time, Lin Jiufeng was puzzled as to why the might of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was so weak.

As time passed, he discovered the ruins of the Chasing Corpse Sect and was finally able to somehow resolve a few of his questions in regards to the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

But at the same time, the Chasing Corpse Sect discovered that it was a Land of Extreme Negative Energy. That was exactly the reason why they built their former sect on the land where the current Cold Palace stood.

But they weren't the people who created the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

Then, Lin Jiufeng discovered the Demon Lord's palace.

He thought that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was made by the Demon Lord.

But who knew that the Demon Lord had only used the Land of Extreme Negative Energy to suppress the demon's den?

Then he discovered the 3,000 plus demons in the Devil's Den.

He thought that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was created by them.

But hearing the words of Demon King Pingtian, it seemed that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy existed here before they came.

Thousands of years had passed since then, but the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was still around and thriving. With the recovery of the world's spiritual energy, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was also recovering along with it.

Lin Jiufeng wanted to know who created the Land of Extreme Negative Energy beneath the Cold Palace.

But after going through it layer by layer, it turned out that the people he suspected were not the masters of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

Even the demon's den that Lin Jiufeng thought highly of had been a latecomer to the party.

Moreover, during the previous era, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy already existed before they found it.

"How did you guys discover the Land of Extreme Negative Energy back then?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

The events of the previous era touched upon Lin Jiufeng's blind spot in knowledge.

He could only ask Demon King Pingtian about it.

"In the previous era, a lot of us knew about that place. It wasn't just us. In fact, a shocking battle once took place in that Land of Extreme Negative Energy." Demon King Pingtian recalled.

A man and a bull stood by the Wei River beneath the misty rain.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone in the world, they actually began to chat.

Lin Jiufeng wanted to deeply investigate the mystery behind the birth of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

They completely disregarded the people around them as they chatted about the things that they were interested in.

"A shocking battle happened?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

"That's right…"

"There were too many people who wanted the Land of Extreme Negative Energy back then, including those from the Daoist sects, Buddhist sects, and the sects overseas…"

"All of them wanted the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. The battle was very intense, and countless people died. The Land of Extreme Negative Energy was baptized in a river of blood back then." Demon King Pingtian lamented as he recalled the past.

"You said that you would release every demon from the demon's den when the time comes. Once you've done that, you will discover that there are many corpses buried in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. Each of them was once peerless and magnificent figures of the past," Demon King Pingtian said to Lin Jiufeng.

"Their corpses are still intact after thousands of years?" Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.

"In that war, many major forces were implicated…"

"They were all top sects, and they were also the symbol of that era's glory. Every single one of them was stronger than you are now. It's not out of the ordinary that their bodies are still intact despite them—being dead for thousands of years by now."

"Moreover, they are also buried in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, including the Sect Leader of Kunlun, the King of the monster race, and the unaffiliated cultivators overseas. When you have the opportunity, you should go and dig them up," Demon King Pingtian said.

Lin Jiufeng said in disdain, "Would I dig up corpses?"

"I don't have such a strange hobby!" Lin Jiufeng firmly stated.

Chapter 103: Matter Solved

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Jiufeng wanted to know more about the origins of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

But the more he knew about it, the more confused he became.

He asked Demon King Pingtian.

"Say, why did so many powerhouses end up dying in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy after that battle?"

Demon King Pingtian thought for a while and replied, "I don't know."

Lin Jiufeng looked at him placidly.

"I really don't know. If I knew, I would be able to solve the doubts in the hearts of every major sect and top factions." Demon King Pingtian cried out.

He really didn't know.

He wasn't playing with Lin Jiufeng.

"No one knows why they started fighting back then. It was a secret. Even the major sects didn't have the exact answers to it. In the early years, they had never given up searching for the true answer…"

"No matter what the reason was, something must've urged them to fight."

"And in the middle of that fight, something must've gone wrong…"

"Otherwise, how could so many powerhouses engage in a life and death struggle in one place? In the end, some died, some were rendered senile due to their injuries while the rest directly fell into a deep sleep." Demon King Pingtian explained.

Lin Jiufeng nodded and said, "Other than that, do you have anything else to add?"

Demon King Pingtian thought for a while and replied, "No, this is all I know about the Land of Extreme Negative Energy."

"So many powerhouses died in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. How did you guys from that demon's den end up occupying the Land of Extreme Negative Energy then?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

"Because we've outnumbered them," Demon King Pingtian replied in a matter-of-factly manner.

There were more than three thousand of them, and they were all demons and monsters.

In addition, each one of them was very powerful.

At their peak, they had half the strength of the entire members of the demonic path.

With so many people, how could they not occupy the Land of Extreme Negative Energy?

Lin Jiufeng was rendered speechless. He took a step forward, and a lotus flower appeared beneath his feet. It carried his body as he disappeared into the void.

Demon King Pingtian didn't know about the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, so Lin Jiufeng had no reason to stay here anymore.

"Let's call it even." With that, Lin Jiufeng left.

Under the gazes of everyone in the world, he disappeared just like that.

Many people hurriedly looked around, but they couldn't find Lin Jiufeng.

Perhaps only Emperor De and Princess Yulin knew that Lin Jiufeng had already returned to the Cold Palace.

Seeing this scene, Sect Leader Luo Yu of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, bear with it for now. When we've dug out the powerhouses of our Zenith Heaven Path, it will be our time to sweep through the world."

The current Lin Jiufeng was too powerful.

He had to be careful and wait for the Zenith Heaven Path Sect to recover its peak strength.

Then, the opportune moment to strike would naturally arrive as well.

Lin Jiufeng managed to suppress Demon King Jiao who was at the pinnacle of the Grotto-Heaven Realm with a wave of his hand.

If it were them, they would probably die from just one slap by Lin Jiufeng.

The Zenith Heaven Path Sect decided to continue to endure while hiding their malicious intentions. It wasn't a problem for them to do this, after all, they had already been enduring for so many years.

They were patient and could afford to wait.

…

On the riverbanks of the Wei River, Demon King Pingtian looked at the dragon's tomb. He then transformed into his human form and was dressed in linen clothes. He looked rather refined as he walked to the edge of the dragon's tomb.

"Are you okay, brother?"

Demon King Pingtian leaned against the dragon's tomb and asked loudly.

"I'm listening. I'm not dead, but I'm not much different from being dead now," Demon King Jiao replied angrily.

He was suppressed in the dragon's tomb, but his mouth could still speak.

He could also absorb spiritual energy and improve his strength.

Lin Jiufeng didn't make things difficult for him.

His face was just beaten swollen and then he was sealed in this place—that was it.

The 36 swords suppressed his entire body. There was even a sword on his neck. Fortunately, he was a flood dragon and was very huge, so the wounds on his body weren't very large in comparison. But the 36 swords were distributed widely and they rendered him unable to move.

"It's good that you're okay. I told you not to provoke that person earlier, but you just didn't believe me. See the result now? You've truly provoked a catastrophe," Demon King Pingtian said with a smile.

"…" Demon King Jiao was speechless.

"Just what is his background?"

Demon King Jiao suppressed his emotions and asked once more.

Demon King Jiao had thought that he was already strong enough to be at the peak of this brand new era. He believed that with his powerful strength, he could sweep through the world and elicit the golden era of the monster race.

But who would have thought that he had already failed before he even started?

In his first battle in this brand new era, he encountered Lin Jiufeng.

Then, he was defeated and suppressed in a single move.

Demon King Jiao couldn't accept this.

He still hadn't come to his senses.

Demon King Pingtian said, "He is a monster of this era."

"He's not an old monster from the last era?" Demon King Jiao asked in disbelief.

"No…" Demon King Pingtian shook his head. He was very certain of this.

"How is that possible?" Demon King Jiao's worldview was shattered.

The spiritual energy in this era had just started its recovery, and the most powerful beings from this era were only at the peak of the Human God Realm.

There wasn't a single native who had made a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm yet.

But then he heard that Lin Jiufeng—a powerhouse who had surpassed the Grotto-Heaven Realm—was actually from this era?

Demon King Jiao was simply unable to accept it.

"When did you wake up?" Demon King Pingtian asked.

"A few months ago, I found a spiritual energy vein at the bottom of the sea and I swallowed it. That's how I managed to recover so much of my previous strength," said Demon King Jiao.

"As for me, actually… I woke up ten years ago," Demon King Pingtian said bitterly.

"Then, your cultivation base—" Demon King Jiao exclaimed in surprise.

"I wasn't the only one who woke up 10 years ago. The entire demon's den woke up 10 years ago. Then, he single-handedly suppressed us for 10 years and defeated every demon in our demon's den." Demon King Pingtian explained.

Demon King Jiao was shocked speechless.

"In the past ten years, we personally witnessed him progressing from the Grotto-Heaven Realm and then exceeding it."

"And this time, he released me on his own accord. He asked me to persuade you not to be rash, saying that he didn't want to make a move."

"But I couldn't persuade you."

Demon King Pingtian let out a long sigh.

Demon King Jiao didn't say anything.

After a long while, Demon King Jiao talked once more. "My character needs to be changed. If it weren't for your pleading this time, I would've been dead for sure."

"We've been brothers for thousands of years. How could I watch you die?" Demon King Pingtian said.

Demon King Jiao was moved.

He shouted, "Old Bull, I've really become arrogant…"

"All right, let's not talk about this anymore…"

"I will accompany and stand guard for you in the Wei River. When you've accumulated enough strength, you will be able to break this seal…"

"Anyway, he didn't stop you from absorbing the spiritual energy of the world."

"Sadly, this world isn't like the previous world where we could roam freely anymore." Demon King Pingtian transformed into his true form. His huge body swayed his tail and sank into the Wei River. He also began to absorb the huge amounts of spiritual energy in the world.

"I think you should go and advise Demon King Dapeng. He also said that he wants to go to the Imperial Capital. I hope he won't encounter that human powerhouse." Demon King Jiao reminded.

"Don't worry. Demon King Dapeng is smarter and more open to advice than you. Moreover, with your previous example, he will come here instead of going to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty…"

"Among the seven of us, you are the one with the worst temper after all."

The voice of the Demon King Pingtian resounded from the bottom of the river.

Demon King Jiao instantly became ashamed.

He was rendered speechless and could only sigh in the end.

…

After solving this matter, Lin Jiufeng returned to the Cold Palace and continued his quiet life.

He closed the doors of the Cold Palace tightly, refusing to receive anyone.

Including Emperor De and Princess Yulin.

It was because Lin Jiufeng was in the middle of stabilizing himself in the realm that he had just arrived into.

Chapter 104: Chatting Under the Moon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A huge problem in the eyes of the world was calmly resolved by Lin Jiufeng.

No one expected this sort of outcome.

The Demon King Jiao that everyone regarded as invincible was now being suppressed in the Wei River. A huge dragon's tomb stood there and anyone could go to take a look.

As Lin Jiufeng hadn't made any move for several years, even though Princess Yulin had cut Wolf Storey Mountain into halves five years ago, the deterrent power of the Yuhua God Dynasty has been in decline since then.

There were just far too many potential threats to the dynasty.

As more and more people and factions from the previous era awakened—the threat was unavoidable.

Conflicts would breed conflicts.

When they accumulated to a certain extent, disaster would then brew.

If it completely erupted, it would destroy the entire Yuhua God Dynasty.

If that happened, then Lin Jiufeng would definitely have to spare more effort in saving the Yuhua God Dynasty than the previous efforts that he had done for the dynasty so far.

The appearance of Demon King Jiao represented the first conflict.

It was akin to that of a small flame atop a candle's wick.

If no one stopped Demon King Jiao from completing his goal of soliciting land from the Yuhua God Dynasty, this small flame could burn the entire Yuhua God Dynasty to ashes.

Unfortunately, the Yuhua God Dynasty was simply too weak to handle Demon King Jiao.

In the end, it was Lin Jiufeng who made a move.

Originally, Lin Jiufeng wanted to get Demon King Pingtian to persuade Demon King Jiao to stop or delay his plan.

This would give Lin Jiufeng some time to wait for the spring rain.

But who would have thought that Demon King Jiao's ability to command the wind and the clouds directly allowed Lin Jiufeng to accumulate enough strength for a breakthrough?

In the end, Lin Jiufeng walked under the rain and defeated Demon King Jiao with one strike.

Following that, the 36 swords effortlessly suppressed Demon King Jiao.

After finishing his business, Lin Jiufeng brushed his clothes and left. He hid his true identity and left behind his unclaimed reputation and achievement.

After Lin Jiufeng extinguished the flames that could've started a wildfire, the world immediately fell silent. The conflicts disappeared quietly after the world witnessed Lin Jiufeng's might against Demon King Jiao.

The world was quiet once more.

Even Demon King Dapeng who wanted to go to the Imperial Capital was deterred.

He flew to the Wei River and saw his old brothers. Seeing the miserable Demon King Jiao, Demon King Dapeng secretly rejoiced. It was fortunate that the location he was sealed at was quite a distance away from the Imperial Capital.

If not—and he arrived a step too early…

He would've been the one being suppressed or maybe he could've been dead by now.

…

The Imperial Capital remained bustling as usual.

After Lin Jiufeng suppressed Demon King Jiao with his sword, the capital became livelier.

Lanterns and decorations were set up, gongs and drums were sounded, and every commoner wore proud smiles on their faces.

They were filled with pride.

Every citizen of the Yuhua God Dynasty had this sense of pride.

The guardian of the Yuhua God Dynasty was actually so powerful and terrifying.

Ordinary people like them could live in peace under the protection of such a powerful person.

They would rather be a dog living in peaceful times than a human living in troubled times.

The common people have had a deep understanding of this saying since ancient times.

When the world was in chaos, they were bound to be the first ones to suffer.

Lin Jiufeng had saved the Yuhua God Dynasty, and it was also equivalent to saving them.

It was only natural that the common people would cheer and celebrate because of this.

Even the sisters in the brothels worked a little harder when serving others.

One could see the joy of the common people wherever one laid their eyes.

However, amidst these festivities, the Cold Palace was deserted as usual.

The livelier the outside world was, the more deserted the Cold Palace was.

After Lin Jiufeng's return, he changed his clothes and loosened his coiled hair.

His long and soft hair that resembled a woman's hair spread like a waterfall behind him.

Standing beneath the moonlight, behind him was a cherry tree that was slowly blooming.

After the rain, Lin Jiufeng consolidated his cultivation base in the Cold Palace. His aura affected the cherry trees. The cherry blossoms that were supposed to bloom in the future seemed to be congratulating Lin Jiufeng as they slowly bloomed in his presence.

With their growth, their alluring fragrance also intensified.

"Why did you reject Emperor De and Princess Yulin's visitation?"

The white cat laid on Lin Jiufeng's shoulder and meowed.

"The troubles of the Yuhua God Dynasty have already been resolved. One of them should be a good emperor, and the other should cultivate diligently. That would be their greatest repayment to me. So, why do they have to visit me?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

The moment he returned, Emperor De and Princess Yulin came to his door and asked to see him outside the Cold Palace.

But Lin Jiufeng completely ignored him.

He didn't even open the door. His attitude towards their visit was steadfast.

"Your attitude towards the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty is getting worse with each generation," the white cat muttered.

Lin Jiufeng thought about it and agreed.

The first generation emperor, Emperor Yuan, was his biological younger brother.

Their relationship as brothers was very good.

Once something happened to Emperor Yuan, Lin Jiufeng would take the initiative to help him.

Regardless if those matters were big or small, Lin Jiufeng would do his best to help.

Sometimes, they would even talk and drink together.

When it came to Emperor Ming, he would always come to Lin Jiufeng's door and asked him to solve the problems that he had encountered.

Lin Jiufeng would handle the big issues, but he wouldn't bother with the small ones.

When it came to Emperor De, Lin Jiufeng didn't care about him at all.

It has been ten years since he ascended to the throne, yet this was the first time that Lin Jiufeng gave him a hand.

Five years ago, he didn't want to place the fate of the dynasty on a woman's marriage.

Thus, Lin Jiufeng went to help Princess Yulin.

Imparting a few sword techniques to Princess Yulin and helping her in her cultivation should've been enough already.

"I don't want those siblings to rely on me. The God Dynasty has been passed down for so many generations. It needs to rely on the meticulous governance of generations of emperors, not my power to deter their enemies."

"I can solve major troubles, but I'm not their babysitter. If they think of me whenever something happens, then I'd rather have the Yuhua God Dynasty be wiped out as soon as possible."

Lin Jiufeng stated what was in his heart.

For cases like this one regarding Demon King Jiao—which Emperor De really couldn't solve— then Lin Jiufeng didn't mind lending a hand.

But the issues of the people's livelihoods, the daily dealings with the sects, and the methods to manage the world on a daily basis—all of these had to be handled by Emperor De himself.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help him.

Lin Jiufeng refused to see them because he didn't want to become Emperor De's pillar of support. He didn't want to make Emperor De think that with Lin Jiufeng's support, he would be able to sit as stable as a mountain on the throne.

"I don't understand what you are thinking, but I support you," the white cat said.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the clear moonlight.

His eyes were bright as he said, "Next, I will speed up the recovery rate of the world's spiritual energy so that the people of the world can make their breakthroughs faster…"

"This is also a challenge for the Yuhua God Dynasty. If Emperor De and the others cannot control the situation, then the decline of the Yuhua God Dynasty will officially begin by then."

"You want to let those demons go?" The white cat thought of this.

"Yes, there are still a few days before I can let them go." Lin Jiufeng nodded.

"Won't these demons bring disaster to the world if they left?" The white cat asked in surprise.

"If they cannot defeat me, yet they dared to bring a disaster into the world. I can kill them even if they are thousands of miles away. I can kill them with a stroke from my sword," Lin Jiufeng replied rather seriously.

"Meow… Then, with the increased recovery rate of the world's spiritual energy, can I also make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm?" The white cat's eyes lit up.

"Yes, you can do it too." Lin Jiufeng smiled slightly.

Most of the pills and treasures that he had received from signing in for the past ten years were eaten by the white cat for her to absorb.

She had made significant progress in the Human God Realm in the years that passed.

She wasn't actually that far from a breakthrough.

If the recovery rate of the world's spiritual energy was increased, the white cat would definitely be able to make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

At the very least, under Lin Jiufeng's guidance and protection, making a breakthrough would be a very comfortable experience for her.

It was close to midnight.

After midnight, Lin Jiufeng went down to the demon's den.

He wanted to start signing in.

This would be one of his final sign-ins in this demon's den.

Chapter 105: Conversation in Zenith Heaven Path

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Boom!

With a flick of his finger, Lin Jiufeng defeated a demon.

Then, he closed the seal.

"Sign in!"

[Sign-In successful. Received a Grotto-Heaven Great Pill!]

It was this pill again.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the pill in his palm for a moment before putting it away.

When the white cat made a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm, he could then give her these pills for her to consume.

The Grotto-Heaven Great Pill was no longer useful to Lin Jiufeng.

After signing in, Lin Jiufeng left the underground palace.

"There are only a few days until the final sign-in…" Lin Jiufeng murmured.

Of the 3,000 plus demons, there were only a few of them left.

After the sign-in at this location ended, this demon's den would completely become useless to Lin Jiufeng. At that time, Lin Jiufeng would release the demons inside into the world.

There was no reason for him to keep suppressing these demons inside.

After all, they had provided him with more than 3,000 treasures.

Since they had no value to him anymore, he might as well release them.

Days passed…

Lin Jiufeng would go and sign in once a day.

The rest of his time was spent in the Cold Palace as he continued to stabilize his cultivation base.

He paid no attention to the outside world at all.

His attention was always focused on how he could improve his cultivation base.

Staying true to his heart and without being swayed by the exciting world outside.

…

Outside the Imperial Capital, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect had become even more low-key in recent days.

They were located deep in the mountains, quite a distance away from the Imperial Capital.

Standing on the highest mountain peak—they could see the vast, prosperous, and imposing Imperial Capital. The Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty was the largest city in the world today.

"If this city became ours, how good would that be?" Sect Leader Luo Yu stood on a tall mountain and looked down at the Imperial Capital as he mumbled.

"Sect Leader, have you found the location of our war machine yet?"

A young man behind him asked.

"The location of our war machine is actually very easy to find. Do you know why I've settled down close to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty?" Sect Master Luo Yu asked.

The young man shook his head.

"After the war in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy ended back then, every major sect and factions in the world wanted to go in to investigate and occupy that place. Our Zenith Heaven Path Sect was no exception…"

"After all, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy is the best place to seal yourself. Therefore, the previous Sect Leader brought the war machine there," Sect Leader Luo Yu said.

"I didn't know about these things."

The young man had never heard of this before. Thus, he listened attentively.

"You were just born at that time, it's normal that you don't know about these," Sect Master Luo Yu replied with a smile.

"The old Sect Leader brought the war machine with him because he wanted to rely on its powerful strength to occupy the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. Then, he wanted to turn the Land of Extremely Negative Energy into our territory and let the Zenith Heaven Path Sect sleep in that land, so we could tide over till the end of the era."

Sect Leader Luo Yu explained. "As for the other exploration matters concerning the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, they weren't as important as this."

"Then?" The young man asked.

"Then? Of course, he failed." Sect Leader Luo Yu's expression turned ugly.

"The old Sect Leader was beaten to death, the war machine was lost, and it disappeared without a trace. The Zenith Heaven Path Sect also almost collapsed. Luckily, we disassembled the sect and made arrangements with the various seniors through our hidden channels…"

"After that, I brought the younger members such as yourself and fought for a place to seal ourselves for thousands of years." Sect Leader Luo Yu let out a sigh.

If the Zenith Heaven Path Sect managed to take over the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, the entire sect would've sealed themselves in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy and slept for thousands of years.

Unfortunately, they failed.

The old Sect Leader died in battle.

Back then, Sect Leader Luo Yu succeeded in the position of Sect Leader and became the new Sect Leader.

The first problem he faced was finding suitable locations to seal the Zenith Heaven Path Sect's powerhouses.

The better mountains and rivers were chosen one after another and the sect seniors sealed themselves in succession.

The Zenith Heaven Path Sect then disappeared without a trace.

It was only now that they slowly recovered under Sect Leader Luo Yu's leadership.

But the powerhouses that had sealed themselves in different regions have yet to return.

The young man behind him was one of the people that Sect Leader Luo Yu had personally nurtured. The young man was sealed before he could fully mature, and now that he was unsealed, his true age was only about 20 years old.

Despite his age, he was already at the peak of the Human God Realm.

This was also the reason why Sect Master Luo Yu thought highly of him.

Geniuses were of foremost importance!

"Sect Leader, why didn't you take revenge?" The young man frowned and asked.

"Do you know who occupied the Land of Extreme Negative Energy?"

Sect Leader Luo Yu asked wryly.

The young man shook his head.

"Nearly half of the powerhouses of the demonic path united together. Monsters, demons, Demon Kings, Demon Gods, and so on were amongst them." Sect Leader Luo Yu said bitterly, "The powerhouses of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect added together aren't even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth."

The young man choked, unable to speak.

"Thousands of demons, Demon Kings, and Demon Gods. With the joint forces of these demons and monsters, not only did we suffer a loss in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, but the other factions also suffered losses and were no longer able to compete for it…"

"Therefore, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy naturally became theirs."

Sect Master Luo Yu explained.

"Then, the war machine…" The young man asked.

"Yes, the war machine is lost in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy."

Sect Leader Luo Yu nodded.

"Where is the Land of Extreme Negative Energy?" The young man asked. "If I know where the Land of Extreme Negative Energy is, I can go and dig out the war machine on my own."

Sect Leader Luo Yu pointed and said, "It's in that Imperial Capital."

In a surprise, the young man exclaimed, "A capital city built above the Land of Extreme Negative Energy?"

Wasn't that akin to seeking death?

Sect Leader Luo Yu said, "If I didn't tell you, you wouldn't have noticed it, right?"

The young man nodded. "That's true. There's no evil aura at all…"

"In the first five years, I didn't discover anything either, let alone you. I only discovered some clues after comparing the maps from thousands of years ago and the maps of today's time," Sect Leader Luo Yu said bluntly.

"Why?" The young man asked, puzzled.

"Because more than 3,000 powerful demons built a demon's in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. They buried themselves in it and hid the original appearance of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. The evil energy was then suppressed."

"Even the founding emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty didn't even notice it…"

"This was why he managed to choose to build the Imperial Capital above it." Sect Master Luo Yu replied.

"If that's the case, then we just need to search carefully in the Imperial Capital, we can just find a suspicious place, and then secretly dig it out. Won't that do?" The young man asked.

"What you said isn't wrong, but there's a terrifying existence in the Imperial Capital right now. The elders and I can't go, we have to be careful. Thus, this matter will be your responsibility."

Sect Leader Luo Yu smiled at the young man.

"De Ming, are you willing to accept this mission?"

"I'm willing!" The young man, De Ming, agreed without hesitation.

"Remember, be careful. Don't cause any huge trouble. Also, don't let anyone find out who you are. With your realm as a Human God, ordinary people won't be able to discover your true identity. Instead, the one you should fear is that terrifying fellow."

Sect Master Luo Yu looked worried.

"Sect Master, don't worry. I will definitely be careful. I will carefully search every inch of the Imperial Capital. I won't let anyone find out who I am." De Ming reassured him.

"Well… there's no need to search the Forbidden City. That terrifying existence is very likely to be living in the Forbidden City. Never provoke him at all cost." Sect Leader Luo Yu instructed.

"I understand…" De Ming turned around and left for the Imperial Capital.

…

Another day passed.

On this day, Lin Jiufeng went down to the demon's den once more.

After defeating a demon, he announced.

"In five days, I will release all of you into the world."

Chapter 106: Signing-In at the Demon's Den Has Ended!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Lin Jiufeng defeated a Demon God today, he looked at the remaining five demons and said…

"I'll let you all out in five days."

As soon as these words came out, the entire demon's den fell silent at first before it completely erupted.

One by one, the demons jumped up in shock.

Even the most aloof of demons lost their composure at this moment.

They really wanted to yell and shout.

Ten years!

Ten whole years!

Did Lin Jiufeng know how they've spent the past ten years?

One of them would be beaten up every day.

They were all collectively humiliated every day by proxy.

They watched as Lin Jiufeng became stronger every day.

In comparison, they never got stronger at all.

They also couldn't absorb any spiritual energy.

Were they still the strongest demons in the world?

They felt that their lives were worse than a beggar's.

They thought that these kinds of days would continue forever without end.

But when Demon King Pingtian was released a few days ago, Lin Jiufeng also promised that he would release them soon.

But how soon was soon?

Everyone guessed as hard as they could. They made all sorts of theories, but none of them were accurate.

But compared to the hopeless days before, they now had hope.

This group of the most powerful demons of the previous era was already a little afraid of Lin Jiufeng. They only wanted to leave this demon's den as soon as possible. They wanted to get away from Lin Jiufeng as soon as possible.

In their eyes, Lin Jiufeng was the true demon!

Today, they received Lin Jiufeng's promise—he would release them five days later.

Five days!

The demons became excited. Some demons with ulterior motives also became restless.

Inside the demon's den, each of them celebrated.

But Lin Jiufeng didn't pay attention to their festivities.

After he made his announcement, he closed the seal once again.

Then, he left the underground palace.

"After releasing them, we must move this palace away and reveal the true appearance of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy," Lin Jiufeng muttered after coming out of the underground palace.

Right now, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy that Lin Jiufeng saw was akin to that of an iceberg—an iceberg whose tip was only what could be seen.

Lin Jiufeng had heard of the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy from Demon King Pingtian.

It was a place where the top powerhouses of the previous era fought to the death.

There should be quite a number of corpses buried there, Lin Jiufeng wanted to see them for himself.

In that case, he could only release the demons in the demon's den. Otherwise, Lin Jiufeng wouldn't be able to open the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy since the demons in the demon's den were still suppressing it.

Therefore, even if Lin Jiufeng didn't want to accelerate the recovery of the world's spiritual energy, he would still have to let them go.

"There are still five days, there's no need to hurry,"

Lin Jiufeng muttered to himself as he continued his peaceful routine in the Cold Palace.

…

De Ming finally arrived in the Imperial Capital.

He disguised himself as a scholar and a young master that aimed to travel around the Imperial Capital.

He acted as if he came from a rural region of the God Dynasty.

He wandered around and toured the place.

He carefully examined every inch of the land that seemed suspicious in his eyes.

But even after a day, he only managed to tour about 1/30 of the Imperial Capital.

"I should be done in about a month." De Ming became full of energy.

From this—one could see how vast the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty was—and how difficult it was to detect places with extreme negative energy.

De Ming wasn't alone.

Some people came to the imperial capital on the same day as him.

They were people from the demonic sects.

Not one, but a group.

The people of the demonic sects had been quite active in the past.

Following the emergence of Demon King Jiao and Demon King Dapeng that shocked the entire world, these people had also become arrogant as they cheered for the Seven Great Sages.

They thought that the Yuhua God Dynasty would finally be suppressed this time and they could finally restore the prestige of the demonic sects.

But who would have thought that Lin Jiufeng's move would be so earth-shattering that he immediately shattered the ambitions of the demonic sects?

The demonic sects of this era hated Lin Jiufeng to the bone.

It was understandable since Lin Jiufeng had repeatedly destroyed their plans.

The first time was decades ago—before Emperor Yuan had succeeded the throne.

At that time, there were still very few Martial Sages in the world.

The battle at the top of the Forbidden City should've been the catalyst for the rise of the demonic sects, but it was stopped by Lin Jiufeng.

Then, next was during the conflict between the dynasty and the vassal lords supported by the demonic sects.

The result was that the vassal lords were annihilated by Lin Jiufeng.

Then, it was Demon King Jiao's turn.

But he was instantly defeated by Lin Jiufeng.

Thus, the latter had destroyed the demonic sects' plans once more.

The demonic sects themselves were tired of the repeated destruction of their plans.

"We have to find the demons and wake them up. This is the only way that I can see for us to save our demonic sects from decline," A man with a hooked nose said firmly inside a house within the Imperial Capital.

There were more than ten people from different demonic sects around him.

They all watched him talk with solemn looks on their faces.

Although they came from different factions, they had a common goal.

Find the demon's den that contained their seniors in the demonic path. Then, they would wake them up to save the demonic sects from ruin.

"Have you confirmed the exact location of that demon's den?" A demonic man asked.

"Yes, it's in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy!"

"We have been searching for the Land of Extreme Negative Energy in the past few years…"

"But it's really unexpected that such an evil place would actually be directly beneath the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty."

"In other words, the demon's den is just below the imperial capital. As long as we awaken the demons inside, the entire Imperial Capital might instantly be wiped out and be completely destroyed," a demonic man muttered in excitement.

"We cannot be careless! The Yuhua God Dynasty's guardian is in this city. If he discovers us, then our plan will all be for naught." A senior warned them.

"We all know that. Today, I met an arrogant young master. I didn't even make a move and I have had to let him bully me. When we've awakened our demon seniors, I will go and slaughter his entire family," A man with a grim-looking face said ferociously.

"That's how it should be. Let's bear with it for the time being and not cause any trouble. When our demon seniors come out, we will take our revenge." The man with a hooked nose praised the others.

"Everyone, we should stay in the Imperial Capital and do our search as carefully as we can. We have to find the Land of Extreme Negative Energy as soon as possible." Finally, the man with the hooked nose encouraged everyone.

Then, he got everyone to disperse and instructed them to contact each other if there was anything of importance.

The entire Imperial Capital had a population of tens of millions.

The dozen or so of them were just like adding drops of water in the sea.

They were simply inconspicuous.

On the first day, they started searching around the Imperial Capital.

Sometimes, De Ming would come across a demonic cultivator with a malicious look on his face.

However, he realized that the other party only looked ferocious.

The latter even nodded at him in a friendly manner.

De Ming nodded back as well.

He couldn't help but sighed and said, "I really can't judge a book by its cover in the future."

The next day, everyone continued their search.

The Imperial Capital was still operating as usual.

On the third day, there was nothing unusual.

On the fourth day, the people scouring the Imperial Capital became busy with their own matters while searching meticulously in the capital.

And on the fifth day, those that participated in the search felt a sense of foreboding.

But they couldn't put this feeling into words.

They felt awful.

They stopped their search for the demon's den.

Instead, they began to search for the reason why their hearts felt terrible.

The fifth day was also Lin Jiufeng's last day of signing in.

He resisted the urge to sign in during the day and waited until the night before he went to the underground palace to open the seal.

After opening it this time, Lin Jiufeng had no intention of sealing it again.

The final demon of the three thousand plus demons was a woman.

Lin Jiufeng hadn't defeated her just yet.

Lin Jiufeng thought that everyone had intentionally placed her last seeing that she looked weak and fragile. But in reality, she was the founder of this demon's den.

She was also the one who invited Demon King Pingtian to construct this demon's den.

The demon's den started with her and it was also about to end with her.

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

The seal of the demon's den opened. Behind it stood a group of demons.

The latter watched on anxiously.

They looked at Lin Jiufeng and the delicate-looking woman whose stature was reminiscent of that of a blood-red flower.

Her name was Queen Scarlet!

She was the one who contacted some top demonic cultivators and built this demon's den.

Then, she brought many demons under her wing and occupied the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. Now that the other demons in the demon's den had been defeated by Lin Jiufeng, it was her turn for the final day.

She had a beautiful figure, a bright dress, red hair, and a pair of charming eyes.

She was a peerless beauty.

The allure of a woman was vividly reflected in her image.

Every frown and smile she made carried extreme temptation.

This woman was dangerous.

"Why did you defeat us all one by one before letting us out?" Queen Scarlet asked.

"It is not in my original plan…"

"Defeating you all is enough, there's no need to continue suppressing all of you here. Without you demons, the world will be less exciting," Lin Jiufeng replied. After he defeated all of them, his signing in here would be over. Then, why should he keep these demons here?

In addition, they were the ones preventing him from further exploring the Land of Extreme Negative Energy!

"Aren't you afraid that we will go out and bring disaster to this world?"

"After all, we were pretty popular in the previous era." Queen Scarlet stared at Lin Jiufeng with her eyes that looked like they could speak a thousand words.

But Lin Jiufeng's heart remained as calm as still water.

His mind was focused solely on his cultivation.

Hearing Queen Scarlet's question, he directly shook his head and said, "If you lot brought disaster to the world and wantonly slaughtered people, I will find you all…"

"As long as you lot aren't confident in defeating me, then don't cause too much trouble and don't kill the common people, that's my only request."

The demons looked at Lin Jiufeng.

Then, they remembered these words in their hearts.

They might not be able to defeat him for the time being, but that didn't mean that they wouldn't be able to defeat him forever. After they left, they would absorb the spiritual energy and recover their previous strength. They would definitely become stronger than Lin Jiufeng.

Then, they would come back for revenge.

Lin Jiufeng cultivated painstakingly on his own.

In terms of cultivation speed, he was absolutely no match for them who only needed to absorb the spiritual energy in the air to recover their original realms.

Queen Scarlet thought so too.

She still wanted to ask Lin Jiufeng something, but Lin Jiufeng didn't give her the chance.

"You are the last. Once I've defeated you, I will let you all out," Lin Jiufeng directly said.

Queen Scarlet stiffened and replied, "It's already the last day. Can't you just skip the beating?"

If Lin Jiufeng injured her now, she would have to treat her injuries first before she could recover her strength after she came out.

She had been stalling for time because she wanted to escape this vicious beating.

Because of this—she had to put down her status and secretly sent flirtatious glances to Lin Jiufeng—who was thousands of years younger than her.

She was just short of saying what was on her mind.

But Lin Jiufeng still wanted to hit her?

"Hurry up. Only after I defeat you will it be a complete process. Only then will I be able to let you all out. Otherwise, none of you will be able to leave," Lin Jiufeng said indifferently.

Defeating Queen Scarlet would give him a chance to sign in.

Would Lin Jiufeng's heart soften because she was sending him loving looks through her eyes?

She was underestimating him too much.

Queen Scarlet secretly gritted her teeth.

A trace of helpless anger appeared on her beautiful and demonic face.

Lin Jiufeng completely rejected her.

Behind her—more than 3,000 demons eagerly watched on.

They were just short of telling her to take the initiative and quickly let Lin Jiufeng defeat her so as not to waste everyone's time.

Only after everyone was defeated would they be released…

Now that only Queen Scarlet was left, how could she escape this treatment?

"Then, let me experience how powerful the peerless genius of this era is."

Queen Scarlet gritted her teeth.

Her delicate body flew up, and millions of flowers bloomed with a raise of her hand.

The flowers flew towards Lin Jiufeng as she attacked with all of her might.

She wanted to test just how powerful Lin Jiufeng was right now.

However, Lin Jiufeng didn't even look at her.

He merely flipped his palm and pressed down gently.

Boom!

Inside the demon's den, a terrifying pressure manifested and directly bored down.

It suppressed Queen Scarlet's body in the blink of an eye.

The millions of flowers directly withered and fell. They couldn't even completely bloom before they dissipated under this strike.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Queen Scarlet directly smashed onto the ground of the demon's den. Her defeat was just like the other demons. Lin Jiufeng had no intention of showing mercy to the fairer sex at all.

He attacked the same way and with the same sense of ease.

Pu!

Queen Scarlet spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her eyes were filled with horror as she looked at Lin Jiufeng in disbelief.

"You actually broke through—"

Queen Scarlet tried her best to suppress her surging blood and vital energy.

She felt extremely uncomfortable. She had just found out how strong Lin Jiufeng was right now.

Then, she herself couldn't believe the answer.

If it was true, then wasn't it too terrifying?

How could there be a terrifying genius like Lin Jiufeng in this world?

"What did he breakthrough into?" A demon asked Queen Scarlet curiously.

"That's right, isn't he at the Grotto-Heaven Realm?"

"Could he already be at the tenth level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm?"

"I feel that he has already reached the tenth level, right?"

"Yes, it should be about time. He should be at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm by now."

The demons spoke one after another as they discussed.

Queen Scarlet smiled bitterly and replied, "He's already a… Supremacy."

As soon as these words fell, the demon's den instantly fell silent.

The demons felt as if they were struck by lightning.

None of them could sit still anymore.

"Supremacy?"

"Queen, don't talk nonsense. When he defeated us for the first time ten years ago, it was still very difficult for him to deal with us. At that time, he had clearly just entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm."

"That's right. In the past ten years, he has gone from the initial step of the Grotto-Heaven Realm to the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. This is already a miracle. Even at the peak of the previous era, there weren't many people who could replicate this feat."

"Queen Scarlet—you said that he has made a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm, you can't just scare us like this."

"If he really managed to cross the gap between just entering the Grotto-Heaven Realm and reaching the Supremacy Realm in just ten years in this early stage of the spiritual energy's recovery period, then it would really be heaven-defying…"

"Not to mention anything else, he might even be able to become an Immortal."

The demons spoke one after another, announcing the shock in their hearts.

The knowledgeable demons were shocked by Queen Scarlet's words.

This proved just how exaggerated Lin Jiufeng's actions were.

Queen Scarlet watched as everyone started their own discussions.

She raised her hand, her snow-white and slender jade-like hand mimicking Lin Jiufeng's gentle push just now.

"He defeated me with a casual push, and what he used was the Supremacy Realm's domain…"

"His aura is very powerful."

"Although he did his best to hide it, my realm has long surpassed that of the Supremacy Realm."

"How can I sense it wrongly?"

"He's a Supremacy!"

"He's the number one person in the world today!"

Queen Scarlet firmly declared.

The demons in the demon's den looked at Lin Jiufeng who was at the entrance.

Their eyes were filled with shock, and they found it hard to say anything.

Was he still human?

But Lin Jiufeng didn't even look at the demon's den.

He directly ignored the discussions down below.

He focused on his own matters.

"Sign in!"

After defeating Queen Scarlet, Lin Jiufeng immediately signed-in.

"This is the last time I'll be signing in at this demon's den…"

"The reward should be very good, will it be?" Lin Jiufeng looked forward to it.

[Sign-In successful. Received All-Heaven Star Sword Array!]

In an instant, Star Swords appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng.

The Star Swords were long and straight.

Their surfaces reflected the myriad stars in the starry sky.

Obviously, they were tremendously powerful.

He received more than 3,600 Star Swords.

Their sheer numbers had filled the entire underground palace.

Lin Jiufeng looked in surprise.

He looked at the 3,000 plus Star Swords and reached out to grab one of them.

Then, he twirled the sword in a pattern, testing its performance. The sword was light and it carried the radiance of the stars which surrounded Lin Jiufeng's figure in a mystical mist-like light.

"Not bad!" Lin Jiufeng was overjoyed.

He took out the sword case and stored every Star Sword in it. He wanted to nourish and increase their quality with the help of the sword case.

Chapter 108: Demons Leaving the Imperial Capital

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Receiving the All-Heaven Star Sword Array and its 3,600 Star Swords as rewards for the final sign-in in this demon's den sure was a pleasant surprise.

Lin Jiufeng expected the reward to be huge, but he didn't expect it to be this extravagant.

The number of Star Swords he received meant that each demon had contributed at least a single Star Sword.

To Lin Jiufeng, another technique in his arsenal meant his strength had increased yet again.

The space inside the sword case was huge. He had no problems at all after storing so many star swords inside of it. It was just that the sword case had noticeably become heavier.

Putting the sword case back into his body, Lin Jiufeng looked at the time.

There was still some time before dawn.

He didn't seal the demon's den.

Instead, he walked out of the underground palace and came to the cherry tree.

The moonlight tonight was bright and beautiful.

The night breeze was cool and it carried with it the fragrance of the cherry trees.

Meow!

The white cat jumped onto Lin Jiufeng's shoulder and called out softly.

Her large tail wrapped around Lin Jiufeng's shoulder. "Are you going to set them free tonight?"

Lin Jiufeng nodded. "Yes."

The white cat thought for a while and added. "This world is going to become chaotic."

"It won't be chaotic…"

"With me here, the world won't change at all. How could it become chaotic then?"

Lin Jiufeng smiled and casually replied.

He was confident that even after he released the demons in the demon's den beneath the Cold Palace—the world would still be the same as before.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Jiufeng tapped the ground with the tips of his toes and announced.

"It's almost midnight. You guys can come out now."

These words were transmitted into the demon's den.

The demons widened their eyes in excitement.

They stopped discussing Lin Jiufeng's breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm.

They looked at the entrance that was no longer sealed.

Their bodies trembled in agitation.

A demon covered his face and cried in excitement. "It's been ten years! Counting the time we spent sealing ourselves, it's already been thousands of years since we've come up to the surface…"

"Our lives have been really difficult. We were once powerful demons, but a mere human suppressed us on his own for ten years."

"I'm going out, I can finally go out."

"Say hello to this demon, your Lord, brand-new world!"

The demons were excited, some cried, and others expressed their excitement through fierce and emotional howls.

They all had different expressions on their faces.

But without exception, their emotions eventually turned into excitement.

Boundless excitement.

Boom!

At this moment, a demon directly rushed out of the demon's den and flew into the sky.

He carried with him his surging demonic aura that shook the Imperial Capital.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The demonic aura around him was vast and heavy. It was extremely terrifying, to say the least. It filled the air and covered more than half of the sky above the Imperial Capital.

Beneath the moonlight, everyone in the Imperial Capital saw a gargantuan bat covered in that same malevolent demonic aura.

King Black Bat!

He was the first demon to rush out of the demon's den.

He flapped his wings excitedly and absorbed a huge amount of spiritual energy in the air.

"Hahaha, this is the spiritual energy of the new era. It's indeed delicious and delightful! As expected of the era that we've waited for thousands of years." King Black Bat trembled in excitement.

He frantically absorbed the spiritual energy in the air into his stomach.

His aura instantly skyrocketed as he immediately entered the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

King Black Bat's cackling reverberated between heaven and the earth, forcing the Imperial Capital to tremble in fear. Countless people raised their heads and looked at him as he was being covered by his boundless demonic aura.

They covered their mouths in shock.

Since when was there such a terrifying demon in the Imperial Capital?

The look on De Ming's face, who was still exploring the Imperial Capital, immediately changed.

He frowned and wondered. 'Is he a demon from that demon's den?'

"They've actually appeared?" De Ming was regretful.

Why couldn't he find them in advance?

This way, he would know where they were and he would also be able to find that war machine of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.

It wasn't just De Ming…

The demonic cultivators who had just entered the Imperial Capital also had a drastic change in their expressions at this moment.

But soon after, they were pleasantly surprised.

The demons in that demon's den didn't need their help to be rescued anymore.

For they have already broken through the seal and emerged into the world on their own.

"We should pay a visit to this demonic cultivator senior." Someone suggested.

The others agreed.

"Wait, he's not the only senior that got out of the seal!" Someone observed carefully.

His expression changed and he stopped his comrades from approaching King Black Bat.

Boom!

As his words fell, the demonic aura in the air stirred.

A second demon rushed out.

His aura wasn't any weaker than King Black Bat's.

Following that was the third, fourth, fifth…

The appearance of one demon after another shocked everyone in the Imperial Capital.

The commotion was so great that it couldn't be concealed at all.

The surging demonic energy spread for thousands of miles.

It continued to expand, obscuring the moonlight.

The world itself seemed to have become a world filled with nothing but demonic energy. The surroundings were plunged into darkness as the demonic energy itself covered every light source in the area. The common people in the Imperial Capital started to tremble in fear.

Even the experts of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect observed the situation with serious looks on their faces.

Sect Leader Luo Yu looked into the distance and said solemnly, "The seal of that demon's den has been lifted. Thousands of demons from the previous era are about to emerge into this world. The situation's changing fast and drastically…"

"Will the guardian deity of the Yuhua God Dynasty be able to protect the Imperial Capital from these demons tonight?" The old Daoist priest asked.

"It's impossible. Who can possibly do such a thing? They are demons that are already in the Grotto-Heaven Realm! The Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty will surely be destroyed tonight, and the Yuhua God Dynasty will scatter into pieces…"

"The world is about to go through a radical change, and the demonic sects will become tremendously more powerful than every other sect out there," Sect Master Luo Yu replied with an ugly look.

For him, the Yuhua God Dynasty was already his own dinner to eat.

But all of a sudden, a hungry wolf came by and took a piece of his own dinner. However, instead of eating that dinner, it threw it away, turning it into waste.

How could Sect Leader Luo Yu possibly maintain his composure in such a situation?

"I had no idea that the demon's den in that Land of Extreme Negative Energy would open so soon, releasing these demons this early into this era. The Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty will not live to see the dawn. It will be a wasteland by tomorrow morning."

Sect Leader Luo Yu declared as he let out a long sigh.

The people of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect also believed in his prediction.

The demons that were still increasing in number as time went on was a solid enough evidence to support Sect Leader Luo Yu's claims. Even as he spoke, the number of demons in the air above the Imperial Capital had already increased to 500.

The surging demonic aura had already spread for 10,000 miles, but it was still expanding.

It was about to reach the Wei River.

Demon King Pingtian walked out of the water.

He stood at the edge of the dragon's tomb and looked at the surging demonic energy in the distance.

"He really kept his word… He actually released the others…"

Demon King Pingtian felt that it was right for him to admire Lin Jiufeng's guts.

"He's truly bold. Does he really think that he can suppress them on his own?"

Demon King Jiao sneered.

"It doesn't matter…"

Demon King Pingtian replied rather solemnly, "At least for now, whenever the other demons cross paths with him, they will act like mice that have stumbled upon a cat. They are bound to be unable to fight back against him at all."

Demon King Jiao was rendered speechless hearing his words.

…

In the Forbidden City, both Emperor De and Princess Yulin were astounded to see so many demons in the skies of the Imperial Capital. They immediately wanted to ask for Lin Jiufeng's help.

But when they recalled that Lin Jiufeng had just refused to meet with them not long ago, they no longer had the confidence to go and find him.

In the Forbidden City, they were helpless as they watched the unfolding scene.

They couldn't do anything.

In front of more than 3,000 demons, no amount of strength mattered.

It was better to see what the demons were about to do next than do anything to them.

When the current Empress Dowager saw this scene, she immediately left the palace to look for Lin Jiufeng.

The trump card that Emperor Ming left for her would certainly be useful at this moment.

But in the Cold Palace, the Empress Dowager only received a single sentence in response to her pleas.

"Go back, there's no need to worry. Those demons are bound to leave."

Emperor Dowager believed Lin Jiufeng's words from the bottom of her heart.

She turned around and returned to the palace.

She got someone to send a message to Emperor De and Princess Yulin—telling them not to worry—that the demons were bound to leave.

However, neither Emperor De nor Princess Yulin believed her words.

The appearance of more than 3,000 demons shocked the world.

With the skies above the Imperial Capital as the epicenter, boundless and bone-chilling demonic energy pervaded everything in a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

The common people became anxious and scared.

Fortunately, no demons had descended so far.

Otherwise, the Imperial Capital would surely be plunged into complete chaos.

One demon after another appeared, bringing with them their sinister demonic auras surrounding their bodies.

No one knew where these demons had come from.

All they knew was that once these demons appeared above the Imperial Capital, the group of demons frantically absorbed the spiritual energy in the air.

As spiritual energy entered their bodies, their strength started to increase.

The feeling of having their bodies rejuvenated by the vibrant spiritual energy caused their former arrogance to return.

Some violent demons looked maliciously at some of the people in the Imperial Capital.

A cold voice came from one of the cocoons made out of demonic energy.

"Let's join forces and slaughter everyone in this Imperial Capital together. The blood of these people that have lived most of their lives in this brand-new era will surely nourish us all!"

But once his voice fell, the look on the faces of the other demons changed as they warily looked in the direction of the Cold Palace.

Under the cover of the darkness, they could vaguely see the cold and aloof back of someone familiar. He possessed a tall and straight stature. His waist was willowy, comparable to that of a woman's which gave him grace that could compete against nobility.

His broad shoulders, on the other hand, gave off a sense of infinite strength.

He was none other than Lin Jiufeng!

He was a true monster of this era.

He was still there!

But despite his presence, a few demons that have already recovered their strength were tempted. However, most of them remained unmoving. In fact, they even pulled away from those that had thoughts of attacking the Imperial Capital.

The cold voice saw the lukewarm response of the others and persuaded. "We're all at the Grotto-Heaven Realm! Some of us who are more powerful are already close to making a breakthrough into the next realm…"

"In addition, with more than 3,000 of us working together. Do you really think that we won't be able to defeat him?" The cold voice came from a demon that had the form of a poisonous snake. As his true body depicted, he was narrow-minded and had a generally awful temper.

After being suppressed by Lin Jiufeng for so long, he had long harbored intense resentment against the former in his heart.

Now, he was encouraging everyone to deal with Lin Jiufeng together.

Some demons were tempted. They looked left and right, wanting to see how many people responded to this suggestion.

But they discovered that there were very few people who responded. The others turned a deaf ear to this suggestion. They diligently absorbed the spiritual energy and distanced themselves from the snake demon.

"Why don't you guys agree? We are powerful demons from the previous era. How can we be humiliated like this by someone from this era without taking revenge?" The poisonous snake demon questioned everyone. He was annoyed and furious by their response.

Why wouldn't they deal with Lin Jiufeng along with him?

They were already free, why would they not show off their might as the demons that once terrified the world?

No matter how powerful Lin Jiufeng was, he was just one person.

There were more than 3,000 of them here.

Surely, it was possible to kill Lin Jiufeng, right?

"You should've taken a look at that Cold Palace first before you said those words. You are already in his sights." A demon with a rather humongous body coldly stated.

The poisonous snake demon was alarmed.

He lowered his head and met Lin Jiufeng's indifferent gaze.

When Lin Jiufeng heard his words all the way from the Cold Palace, the former merely sneered.

He lifted his head and the moment their eyes met in mid-air, a strong killing intent burst from Lin Jiufeng's eyes.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng glared at the poisonous snake demon.

His killing intent burst forth and instantly charged forward.

In a blink of an eye, his killing intent materialized and appeared before the poisonous snake demon. Then, it became as sharp as a blade as it slashed down.

Pu!

The poisonous snake demon's head was chopped off. His body fell and crashed onto the streets of the Imperial Capital.

Boom!

The ground on that particular street in the Imperial Capital trembled. Not long after, the poisonous snake demon reverted into his true form.

A poisonous python, dozens of meters long appeared.

But its head was severed.

No matter how one looked at this scene, the python was obviously dead.

The hearts of everyone trembled.

The common people who saw this scene were instantly worried that the demons were fighting against each other. Even Emperor De and Princess Yulin were worried that the capital might be affected.

If such a large number of Grotto-Heaven Realm experts fought against each other, the Imperial Capital would surely be destroyed in the process.

But contrary to the thoughts of the others, the demons were more worried about whether they had revealed their thoughts to Lin Jiufeng earlier.

Would he attack them too?

Lin Jiufeng stood motionless in the Cold Palace.

He had only taken a glance at the poisonous snake demon, and the latter immediately died.

To be honest, the demons were frightened silly by what they had witnessed.

It was only at this moment that the demons truly believed that Lin Jiufeng was already a Supremacy Realm expert. How else could he easily kill an existence at the Grotto-Heaven Realm?

Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng didn't make any other move.

Instead, he stated indifferently. "Since you lot already have your freedom, don't stay here anymore. Disperse. Or else, I will seal you all in that demon's den once more."

With these words, every demon that was still in the middle of absorbing the spiritual energy in the air immediately dispersed.

They actually scattered and ran like dogs.

None of them wanted to be sealed in that demon's den once more.

Being suppressed like that and reared like livestock truly was too much.

In their eyes, the current Lin Jiufeng was a great demon king, a great demon king who was even more terrifying than demons like them.

The moonlight returned to the Imperial Capital.

It gradually scattered the demonic aura lingering in the air after the demons' departure.

Like a cloak, moonlight draped over Lin Jiufeng's body.

Lin Jiufeng watched as the surging demonic aura in the sky dissipated.

With the disappearance of the arrogant demons, Lin Jiufeng mumbled in satisfaction. "They're finally gone. The demon's den is a problem no more."

The demon's den in the Cold Palace was no longer useful to Lin Jiufeng. Keeping them there would instead prevent him from exploring the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

As a result, Lin Jiufeng was more than happy to see them disappear.

After tonight's events, the world would surely change.

Everyone's attention would inevitably shift onto the demons. No one would pay attention to him anymore—the so-called guardian or guardian deity of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

He could explore the Land of Extreme Negative Energy with a peace of mind.

Then, he could also continue his daily routine in silence.

Wasn't that enough of a pleasant surprise?

He killed a demon with ulterior motives, and he killed the latter with indescribable methods at that!

Surely, that move of his had sufficiently scared the demons…

If they wanted to act on some kind of an evil plan in the future, they would have to carefully consider Lin Jiufeng's existence.

"They are all gone now," the white cat said.

"So be it. I was going to let them go anyway. The demon's den and the underground place have no use staying underground anymore. I'll handle them next," Lin Jiufeng indifferently replied.

He directly threw himself into his next tasks.

He didn't care about the outside world at all.

Yes, he didn't care, but someone was currently feeling vexed.

Sect Leader Luo Yu watched the unfolding situation with rapt attention. When he saw the 3,000 plus demons coming out all together, his heart went cold.

He directly declared the Imperial Capital's destruction.

But what happened next completely went against his imagination.

The demons seemed to have fallen out with each other.

They killed their comrade—a demon in the form of a poisonous snake before collectively running away. The way their escaped looked awfully similar to a human that had just seen a ghost in broad daylight.

In an instant, the demons vanished without a trace.

The surging demonic aura in the air above the Imperial Capital also soon disappeared.

The scene stunned Sect Leader Luo Yu.

"They left just like that?"

"Aren't they going to destroy the imperial capital?"

"Aren't they all demons?"

"They actually didn't kill any common people at all, nor destroy any building…"

"But instead, they left directly?"

Sect Leader Luo Yu's eyes widened.

He confidently stated earlier that the demons would surely destroy the Imperial Capital.

Now that they had left just like that, it truly was embarrassing.

Chapter 110: The True Land of Extreme Negative Energy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The demons' escape from the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty was indeed out of everyone's expectations.

Especially when more than 3,000 demons fled together.

It was a truly shocking scene.

Originally, when the poisonous snake demon was killed, everyone thought that the demons were about to start fighting with each other amidst internal strife.

If that happened, then the Yuhua God Dynasty would definitely be in danger.

Sect Leader Luo Yu also expected this to happen.

He confidently predicted that the Imperial Capital would be destroyed before daybreak.

But the result was far beyond his or everyone's expectations.

The demons fled in panic.

It seemed that there was a terrifying existence in the Imperial Capital that scared them.

What kind of existence was in the Imperial Capital?

Sect Leader Luo Yu hesitated. "It can't be that guardian deity of the Yuhua God Dynasty, right?"

It couldn't be him, right?

That was impossible.

Although he was powerful, he couldn't possibly handle more than 3,000 demons all by himself.

It shouldn't be him.

It must not be him…

In the end, Sect Leader Luo Yu couldn't understand why the demons ran away.

'But it's good that they are gone. Since they didn't destroy the Imperial Capital, our sect can continue our plans.' Sect Leader Luo Yu thought about it and was overjoyed with the overall outcome of the events.

With the demons' disappearance, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect could continue their plans of eventually annexing the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Moreover, there was also the Land of Extreme Negative Energy in the Imperial Capital.

They had to find it at all costs.

"Inform De Ming to continue his search. This time, he must be more careful. The demons of that demon's den have already come out and have left. The Land of Extreme Negative Energy in the imperial capital should be easy to find without their presence…"

"Let him report immediately once he has found it."

Sect Leader Luo Yu gave his orders in excitement.

The demons in that demon's den had appeared and fled.

This meant that the seal on that demon's den built on top of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy in the Imperial Capital was broken.

The true Land of Extremely Negative Energy beneath that demon's den should be exposed by now.

They must find the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy that caused the death of their previous Sect Master. Their war machine must also be in that land, so the Zenith Heaven Path Sect must occupy it at all costs.

The ambitions of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect's Sect Leader, Luo Yu, were exposed.

The reason why he decided to build the sect so close to the Imperial Capital was to eventually occupy the Land of Extreme Negative Energy and claim it as their own.

…

Speaking of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy…

Lin Jiufeng was currently cleaning up the demon's den and the underground palace.

The white cat was also there to lend her hand in help.

"The original Demon Lord moved this palace here to suppress the demon's den and prevent the demons from within from coming out prematurely into the new era."

"The Demon Lord is a very noble man. Although he is on the Demon Path, he managed to change my opinion of that path altogether."

"But now, with the seal lifted and the demons released. There is no reason for this underground palace to exist anymore."

"I'll transfer everything into the Cold Palace up above. When you are free, you can go and visit it anytime you like."

Lin Jiufeng said to the white cat.

The white cat had once lived in this underground palace for hundreds of years.

He needed the white cat's consent before he could move it away.

The white cat was rational. She knew that the Demon Lord had already passed away, and this underground palace was now just a liability. She might as well let Lin Jiufeng move it away, so it could serve another purpose.

Using his True Qi, Lin Jiufeng brought the underground palace out and placed it in the Cold Palace. Taking out the underground palace was a piece of cake for Lin Jiufeng, considering how the entire Cold Palace was already so dilapidated.

The pillars have long rotted, with a few huts and houses already reduced to rubble. Using the underground palace as the basis, Lin Jiufeng could then somehow restore the Cold Palace.

Rumble…

Lin Jiufeng gently placed the underground palace in the Cold Palace.

The entrance to the demon's den was already out in the open.

Only its entrance was available for viewing, the rest were covered by the underground palace.

But after having uprooted the underground palace, the entire demon's den was revealed.

It consisted of a winding cave system deep underground.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the demon's den and began to clean it up.

There was no need for the demon's den to exist anymore. The demons had already left. They couldn't take the demon's den with them, so they directly abandoned it.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng slapped out and struck at the bottom of the demon's den.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The demon's den exploded. Under Lin Jiufeng's attack, it split apart and collapsed.

The place that more than 3,000 powerful demons had once called 'home' has now been destroyed by Lin Jiufeng.

Rumble!

The destruction of the demon's den directly revealed the Land of Extreme Negative Energy beneath it.

The true Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

It has been about 50 years since Lin Jiufeng entered the Cold Palace.

He came to know about the Land of Extreme Negative Energy from the malevolent ghost of Imperial Consort Jia.

Tainted by the tiniest bit of aura from the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, Imperial Consort Jia turned into a vengeful spirit.

Then came the Chasing Corpse Sect.

But the Chasing Corpse Sect was ignorant of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy's true power. They buried the corpse of their ancestor here and then wholeheartedly devoted themselves to exploring the Demon Lord's underground palace.

It wasn't until Lin Jiufeng discovered the underground palace that he realized that there was more to the matter.

Beneath the underground palace was a huge demon's den.

There were more than 3000 demons inside, all of which were powerful demons from the previous era.

Upon discovering them, Lin Jiufeng thought that this was the end of the matter.

But after ten years, and after having defeated every demon in that demon's den. He found out that the demon's den was actually built on top of the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

It was a mysterious and indescribable place that had once attracted countless experts to compete for the right to occupy it in the previous era.

Countless people fought for it with their lives on the line.

But Lin Jiufeng reckoned that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy that everyone fought for with their lives on the line back then wasn't even the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

It was understandable, however, for the demons had built their demon's den on top of it, burying the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy in the process.

Now that the demon's den was destroyed by Lin Jiufeng, the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy was revealed.

A wasteland filled with nothing but red was revealed directly in front of Lin Jiufeng.

Indescribable and terrifying demonic energy rushed out of the wasteland, transforming the scene into the aftermath of a battlefield. The aura that the land itself carried interfered with the minds of others, distorting them, and even changing their personalities.

Once a person absorbed too much of this unique demonic energy—he would become stronger, but it meant becoming tainted and obsessed with slaughter.

The true Land of Extremely Negative Energy truly was a place that permitted no life to exist.

The evil aura contained from within it rushed out and instantly filled the Cold Palace.

Countless resentful roars, countless vengeful spirits twisted and roared.

Demonic energy spread and it was about to spread outside the Cold Palace.

Once the demonic energy spread into the Imperial Capital, the common people would instantly turn into demons. They would lose their minds and the dark desired hidden in their hearts would be magnified.

The Imperial Capital would then become a wasteland overnight—just like the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy itself.

Lin Jiufeng saw this scene.

He—who was surrounded by demonic energy—wasn't affected at all.

With his strong will, it would be strange if he was affected.

Facing this scene, he coldly snorted and stomped with his foot onto the ground.

Boom!

The entire Cold Palace trembled.

Lin Jiufeng's terrifying might penetrated every inch of the Cold Palace.

Lin Jiufeng's domain as a Supremacy emerged.

The demonic energy wanted to escape, but it encountered Lin Jiufeng's domain and was forced to retreat.

It didn't even resist.

"Go back to where you came from," Lin Jiufeng coldly said.

He used his domain and forced the demonic energy to retreat into the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

The demonic energy that threatened to taint the entire Imperial Capital was suppressed by Lin Jiufeng.

It didn't resist at all.

More accurately, it could not resist.

Lin Jiufeng watched indifferently.

Both his feet were pressed against the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, preventing the demonic energy from escaping.

After suppressing the demonic energy, a line of words appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng's eyes.

[Do you want to Sign-In before the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy?]

Lin Jiufeng looked at the sky.

In the distant sky, a fiery red light appeared.

Soon, the sun would rise.

The second day in his exploration had come.

Lin Jiufeng nodded and said, "Sign in!"

[Sign-In successful. Received Light of the Homes]

A lamp with a jittery flame appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng.

It was suspended in the air as it silently floated there.

A look was enough to understand that there was more than meets the eye when it came to this lamp.

Chapter 111: The Scared Monsters and Demons

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was an oil lamp.

But what burned was not animal oil, but the myriad lights from the homes of the common people. The oil lamp had the ability to gather the auras of every mortal in the mortal realm and turn it into some sort of power.

The [Light of the Homes] might be powerful, but Lin Jiufeng didn't find it useful for his daily routine.

But he eventually found a way to use the oil lamp.

After suppressing the demonic energy in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, Lin Jiufeng wasn't in a hurry to go down. Instead, he came to the gates of the Cold Palace. Seeing the deserted eaves, he stretched out his hand and hung the [Light of the Homes] on it.

[Light of the Homes] illuminated the gates of the Cold Palace.

At this time when dawn was about to arrive, it dispelled the coldness in front of the gates.

Boom!

The [Light of the Homes] that was hung up immediately suppressed the negative energies beneath the Cold Palace.

Although most of the demonic energy that pervaded the surroundings was suppressed by Lin Jiufeng earlier, the tiniest bit still managed to arrive outside. However, if someone observed carefully, they would still be able to notice that tiniest bit of demonic energy.

But now, under the illumination of the [Light of the Homes]…

The tiniest bit of demonic energy disappeared without a trace.

The Cold Palace was still the same Cold Palace.

Lin Jiufeng was still the same Lin Jiufeng.

Despite the constant turmoil of the outside world, Lin Jiufeng remained relatively at peace and quiet.

Just like the [Light of the Homes] that swayed silently from where it hung.

The [Light of the Homes] that was hung up there, wouldn't be extinguished by either wind or rain, and there was no need for Lin Jiufeng to top-up any animal oil to it.

Despite its flame looking so weak, the light from the [Light of the Homes] would never disappear. It also didn't need the nourishment of fuel. It represented the light from every single human in the Imperial Capital. They were its fuel itself.

This was also the reason why Lin Jiufeng decided to hang the oil lamp here.

Carrying it with him would waste its potential.

The oil lamp had to be able to look at the world in all of its glory for it to reveal its might.

But now, Lin Jiufeng didn't even need to do anything.

He just hung the [Light of the Homes] on the eaves.

When the morning sun rose, the [Light of the Homes] flickered weakly.

There was no need for it to compete with the sun during the day.

Lin Jiufeng also narrowed his eyes beneath the morning sun and returned to the Cold Palace.

Boom!

The main gates of the Cold Palace closed with a dull sound.

But in the very next moment, De Ming came over with a compass in his hand.

It kept spinning, but he couldn't find anything at all.

"That's strange. It was pointing to this area just now, but I can't sense anything at all. Could it be that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy is still hidden even today?"

De Ming looked around curiously.

He discovered the Cold Palace.

It occupied a huge area, and he wanted to go inside to take a look.

But when he got close, the [Light of the Homes] hanging on the eaves suddenly flickered.

The flickering lights caused De Ming's spirit to tremble.

He stood there in a daze.

He seemed to have forgotten that he was here to look for the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

After taking a look at his surroundings, he turned around and left in a daze.

"It has such an effect too? Not bad, not bad."

Lin Jiufeng saw what had happened and he was pleasantly surprised.

He had no idea that the [Light of the Homes] had such a function.

It truly was a pleasant surprise.

…

The early morning sun scattered the demonic energy from last night.

The world was revitalized.

The people in the imperial capital also came out of their homes whilst trembling as they discussed what happened last night.

Over 3,000 demons appeared right above the Imperial Capital.

The combined demonic aura they exuded was simply terrifying.

Fortunately, the demons left in the end and didn't harm the people in the Imperial Capital.

But even so, the common people were still scared stiff by last night's events.

On this day, not only the Imperial Capital, but the whole world came to know about it.

More than 3,000 demons, each of whom was a peerless powerhouse thousands of years ago had emerged into the world.

The Grotto-Heaven Realm was only their starting point.

When their spiritual energy in their current realms was abundant enough, they would then be able to directly make a breakthrough into the next realm.

Some demons worked hard to absorb the spiritual energy and strived to reach the Supremacy Realm as soon as possible.

This way, they would have some confidence when facing Lin Jiufeng.

But until then, they had no confidence to face him at all.

Last night, Lin Jiufeng killed a demon with just a glance.

How terrifying was that?

It scared them so much that they ran away in a panic.

The next morning, they finally came to their senses.

What did they run so fast for?

As long as they didn't make any mistakes, Lin Jiufeng wouldn't kill those who were innocent.

Some demons ran to some villages and their wild nature erupted.

Their hands were itchy and they wanted to kill a few humans and suck their blood.

But before they could do so, Lin Jiufeng's looming threat became similar to a longsword that hung in their hearts, ready to pierce it and kill them at a moment's notice.

"Damn it, what bad luck! I'm a demon, yet now, I even have to think twice about killing mortals. This is just too tragic." A demon cursed angrily and turned around to leave. Despite his words, he still didn't dare to try and cause chaos.

Killing the innocent was tantamount to challenging Lin Jiufeng.

Outsiders might not know how powerful Lin Jiufeng was, but how could these demons who had been suppressed by him for ten years not have an idea as to how powerful he was?

If he really angered Lin Jiufeng, no one would be able to stop Lin Jiufeng from killing him.

Hence, this demon spared the mortals in this particular village.

Enraged, he entered the forest and killed a few wild beasts.

He then devoured their blood to vent his anger.

"Lin Jiufeng, just you wait! When I've reached my peak strength once more, the first thing I will do is go to the Imperial Capital and kill you, you bastard!" The demon violently cursed as he drank the blood of the wild beasts he had just slaughtered.

The taste of human blood was hugely different from that of animal blood.

But because of Lin Jiufeng, he couldn't taste that delectable delight.

He felt wronged.

But when he thought of Lin Jiufeng's terrifying strength, he decided to endure it in the meantime.

"I should go and recover my strength first. Wait for me and wash your neck, I will definitely slaughter everyone in the Imperial Capital and drench it with blood."

The demon gnashed his teeth and solemnly vowed.

Not only him, but the other demons did the same.

They wanted to kill, plunder treasures, and vent their anger…

But when they thought of Lin Jiufeng's boundless might, they all fell silent.

None of them managed to successfully overcome their fears and commit such actions that were tantamount to challenging Lin Jiufeng.

"Lin Jiufeng, you're too much!" The demons roared in unison.

They had all left the Imperial Capital and escaped from Lin Jiufeng, but Lin Jiufeng's oppression still existed in their hearts.

It wasn't just these demons.

There were also some that were found by the demonic sects.

The latter offered great benefits and made these demons their sect elders.

Some of the demons agreed.

Being an Elder for nothing meant that they could obtain a lot of resources.

It was a good deal.

But when a sect leader of a demonic sect suggested…

"Lord Demon, since all of you are already out in the world, why don't you join forces and go to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty?"

"Let the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty divide a huge territory for us so that we can nurture the forces of our demonic sect and return to our previous glory."

The expressions of the demons froze as they looked at the sect leader in shock.

"What did you say?" A demon asked in surprise.

"Go to the Imperial Capital to look for the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty and ask him to give up a piece of land to us." The sect leader repeated.

A demon's expression changed drastically and he couldn't help but exclaim. "Are you mad?"

"That Demon King Jiao was just suppressed by that expert from there. There is an extremely terrifying existence in the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty. Are you sending us to our deaths?" Another demon questioned loudly.

The Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty—was that a place that they could freely roam?

In the hearts of these demons, that place was definitely the most terrifying place in the world!

They wouldn't dare to take a risk without sufficient confidence in their victory.

That would simply be tantamount to suicide.

"Don't talk to us about dealing with the Yuhua God Dynasty. For the next few years or more, don't become enemies with the Yuhua God Dynasty," A demon said firmly.

They were truly afraid of Lin Jiufeng.

The sect leader of this demonic sect was dumbfounded.

Was the guardian deity of the Yuhua God Dynasty really that terrifying?

Chapter 112: The Sword God of the Old Era

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Jiufeng had no idea that even though he rarely left the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty and stayed in the Cold Palace most of the time, he still had a respectable reputation in the world.

And the ones who praised him the most were the group of demons from that demon's den.

The people of the world thought that the appearance of those demons back then signaled the end of the world and the start of a great massacre. But what happened in the end was contrary to everyone's expectations. The demons—they didn't dare to cause a commotion at all.

Everything remained as serene as ever.

With the appearance of the demons, the demonic sects rejoiced and their morale shot through the roof. They felt that this was the time for their demonic sects to prosper.

But who knew that the demons that had just emerged were timider than the demonic sects?

They didn't dare to confront the Yuhua God Dynasty at all. Each one of them chose to absorb the spiritual energy of the world in a low-key manner, they pretended as if they didn't exist in the world and kept their silence throughout.

The world definitely changed when they emerged.

But the world didn't seem to have changed that much on the surface.

Everything remained the same.

The Yuhua God Dynasty was still the same.

The common people lived and worked in peace, and the major sects and aristocratic families consolidated their strength silently.

They didn't dare to openly rebel against the Imperial Capital.

After all, there was a terrifying old monster in that Imperial Capital.

If they weren't confident that they could defeat that old monster, they would have to be obedient.

…

The one being referred to by everyone as an 'old monster,' Lin Jiufeng, observed the world in the next few days.

After he made a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm, he released the demons and moved the underground palace away.

He shattered the demon's den beneath the underground palace and saw the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

Then, he suppressed the demonic energy in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy and acquired the [Light of the Homes].

He was in no hurry to explore the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

Lin Jiufeng chose to observe the world for now.

He wanted to see if this group of demons had killed wantonly after they emerged into the world.

The realm after the Grotto-Heaven Realm was the Supremacy Realm.

Any expert in this realm would usually have an honorific name.

But Lin Jiufeng didn't give himself a so-called honorific name.

He just wanted to continue his daily routine in peace and silence.

He didn't need an honorific name.

'I made a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm and turned my Grotto-heaven into a domain. On that rainy night, my metamorphosis was completed.' Lin Jiufeng looked up at the sky.

The lights in his eyes were fierce.

Behind him, a vast world could be vaguely seen.

The world itself was a Divine Grade Grotto-heaven. It was Lin Jiufeng's Grotto-heaven that he had already turned into a domain.

Inside this domain, Lin Jiufeng's combat strength was doubled.

Under its limitless expansion similar to a universe—if his domain wasn't broken nor retracted—he would eventually become strong enough for him to be considered invincible.

Lin Jiufeng was currently observing the world.

He could see everything—from the changes in the auras coming from every cultivator as they made their breakthroughs into their next realms, the fluctuations in the tide of spiritual energy as it floated in the air—and the stench of blood left in the countless battlefields of the world.

If the demons dared to act recklessly, Lin Jiufeng would punish them from thousands of miles away.

Fortunately, the demons never made a move.

Of course, the world truly wasn't peaceful with the emergence of those from the previous era.

It was a good thing that the 3,000 or so powerful demons that emerged just recently had become a deterrent to these people. The powerful demons kept their silence and quietly recovered their strength.

Compared to the clowns that had just broken free from their seals and were now acting as if they owned the world—those that were truly powerful kept their silence and cultivated in peace.

After observing for a few days, Lin Jiufeng soon stopped his observation.

He believed that the demons would listen to him. He predicted that only when these demons had recovered their peak strength would they come to the Imperial Capital to defeat him.

Only then would they dare to bring a catastrophe to the world.

As a result, Lin Jiufeng's worry was alleviated.

He could finally go and explore the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy in peace.

It has been 50 or so years since Lin Jiufeng arrived in the Cold Palace. It has also been 50 years since he became a neighbor of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

From the beginning until now, he had unveiled layers of mysterious veils over the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

From Imperial Consort Jia to the Chasing Corpse Sect, from the Chasing Corpse Sect to the Demon Lord 1,500 years ago, then from the Demon Lord to the demon's den beneath the underground palace.

Covered by layers of mysterious veils, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy appeared mystical and full of pleasant surprises.

Today, Lin Jiufeng arrived at the Land of Extreme Negative Energy early in the morning.

Deep underground, it was a place that was truly impossible for ordinary people to arrive into.

No one knew that there was a Land of Extreme Negative Energy here.

The cave system of the demon's den was winding and confusing, to say the least.

The Land of Extreme Negative Energy was situated even deeper than the demon's den.

It was like a hellish world, yet Lin Jiufeng came down alone without the white cat.

The white cat had been trying to make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm recently. With the resources that Lin Jiufeng gave to her, even though she wasn't talented enough, she still advanced rather quickly.

Entering the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, what greeted his eyes was not a battlefield, but a graveyard.

There were tombs connected to each other, and they were all made from the soil in the surroundings.

A small mound of soil with a tombstone.

Some of the tombstones were made of wooden planks. Most of them had already rotted away.

Lin Jiufeng saw a few broken weapons inserted into the soil of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

Broken swords, broken sabers, broken halberds, and even broken furnaces…

These were once powerful treasures, treasures that a few cultivators had nurtured throughout their entire lives.

But now, they had become nothing but scrap metal.

They were all corroded by the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

Lin Jiufeng picked up a broken longsword that was at the edge of a small grave.

With a little strength, he pulled it out.

Then, the longsword disappeared with the wind.

All that was left in Lin Jiufeng's hand was dust.

"Time has rendered everything useless." Lin Jiufeng lamented.

He couldn't help but look at the stone tablet in front of the tomb.

There were no other words on it, only the name of the tomb owner was carved on it.

"Tomb of the Millennium Sword God of the old era!"

Lin Jiufeng muttered out the words.

"He should be one from the batch of powerhouses that Demon King Pingtian mentioned. One of those who sacrificed their lives fighting for the right to occupy the Land of Extreme Negative Energy," Lin Jiufeng said softly.

He prepared to leave and look at the other tombs…

But a line of words suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Do you want to Sign-In before the grave of the Millennium Sword God of the old era?]

Lin Jiufeng was stunned.

He looked at the tomb of the Millennium Sword God, then at the boundless cemetery in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. He couldn't help but smile.

It seemed that he had discovered another land of bountiful opportunities to sign in at.

"Sign in!" Lin Jiufeng agreed.

[Sign-In successful. Received Millennium Sword God's sword technique: Flying Sword Technique!]

An old man appeared in Lin Jiufeng's mind.

He held a wine pot in one hand and a sword in the other.

Crossing through the endless years, he showed his sword techniques to Lin Jiufeng.

It was a tremendously powerful sword technique.

Flying sword meant that it was a sword technique that didn't belong to the mortal realm.

The sword technique of the Millennium Sword God surpassed even Lin Jiufeng's current arsenal combined.

Lin Jiufeng became engrossed in the sword technique.

It wasn't until the Sword God was done executing a set of sword techniques and a sword light slashed over from thousands of years ago did Lin Jiufeng open his eyes.

Beaded sweat filled his forehead.

He felt the pressure from just now.

In front of the Millennium Sword God, the current Lin Jiufeng was still not strong enough.

But this fact didn't affect Lin Jiufeng. Instead, it ignited his excitement.

"Is this how strong a powerhouse from the previous era is?"

"This kind of swordsmanship is simply sublime. I can't ask for a more generous reward than this. I feel that I will have a chance of peering into a higher realm once I'm done learning this."

Lin Jiufeng was excited.

He had already reached the summit of what was possible in this era.

Even though the demons in the demon's den were all stronger than Lin Jiufeng in terms of cultivation realm, their strength was far inferior to Lin Jiufeng's.

The current recovery rate of the world's spiritual energy could only support a cultivator at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Lin Jiufeng forcefully pushed past this limit himself because he could sign in every day.

But compared to the true powerhouses of the previous era, he was not strong enough.

The Millennium Sword God truly inspired Lin Jiufeng and ignited his passion to become even stronger.

Chapter 113: Another Five Years

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After signing in, Lin Jiufeng wanted to continue his exploration of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

But a line of words appeared before his eyes.

[Sign-In can be repeated here. Different tombs yield different rewards.]

Lin Jiufeng immediately dispelled his desire to continue his exploration.

He turned around and left.

'I shall slowly reap the rewards here first. This place is similar to that demon's den. It's enough for me to sign in for a long time, there's no need to explore everything here at once.'

Lin Jiufeng told himself in his heart.

Venturing here and discovering a different reward each day from different tombs was also a very interesting endeavor for Lin Jiufeng.

In any case, he had nothing to do at the moment, and he had no intention of going out in the meantime anyway…

Thus, he decided to stay his hand for now and be patient.

After coming out of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, Lin Jiufeng returned to the courtyard.

He saw the white cat lying on the frost jade bed. He reached out and picked her up. Then, he infused his True Qi into her body to help her through her bottleneck in her breakthrough.

Meow!

The white cat meowed and buried her little head in Lin Jiufeng's arms.

She seemed to enjoy Lin Jiufeng's massages with his hands infused with his True Qi.

"You're not going to explore that place anymore?"

The white cat opened her eyes and asked curiously.

"I don't have to do it so fast. I'm planning on exploring it day by day. After all, I have a lot of time in my hands," Lin Jiufeng replied.

The white cat thought about it and agreed.

Lin Jiufeng indeed had a lot of time.

She enjoyed being alone with Lin Jiufeng.

She found it indescribably comfortable to be with him.

Furthermore, no one came here to disturb them.

"I must definitely make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm."

The white cat made up her mind. Her eyes that were filled with stars shone resplendently as ever as she raised her small claws in firm determination.

Lin Jiufeng smiled gently. "Sure, I'll help you make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm…"

Meow~

The white cat called out warmly.

She couldn't bear to leave Lin Jiufeng anymore. Especially after he said those words.

In the white cat's entire life, there were only two people whom she regarded as 'important'.

The first was the Demon Lord.

He was the one who picked her up and raised her up from a newborn cat into a grown one.

After the Demon Lord died, the white cat whom he raised protected the underground palace for hundreds of years before she met Lin Jiufeng.

After that, she spent decades with Lin Jiufeng.

In the beginning, she disliked the latter and refused to let him hug or touch her.

But now, whenever she saw Lin Jiufeng, she had this urge to throw herself into his arms.

She couldn't bear to leave Lin Jiufeng's side anymore.

She had grown to completely accept Lin Jiufeng's existence in her life.

This was how the white cat felt.

Lin Jiufeng also felt the same way.

The person that Lin Jiufeng cared about the most had already passed away.

He had nothing to care about, but the white cat.

Hence, he wanted to help the white cat make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

This way, she could live for a very long time.

Then, she would be able to be with Lin Jiufeng for a long time.

She would be able to accompany Lin Jiufeng on his journey to the true summit of cultivation.

He wanted to bring the white cat with him as he crossed over this great mountain of the cultivation path.

The summit of this mountain would definitely be cold.

Without the white cat, Lin Jiufeng was bound to be lonely on his journey.

…

Lin Jiufeng decided to help the white cat in its breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

But the process lasted for five whole years.

Five years had passed since the demons left the Imperial Capital, the world had greatly changed since then as countless people from the previous era also slowly came to being after breaking their seals.

In the past five years, Lin Jiufeng had never left the Cold Palace even once.

He spent his seventieth birthday in the Cold Palace two years ago.

It has been more than 50 years since Lin Jiufeng entered the Cold Palace.

As usual, he continued his daily routine of quietly signing in.

Over the past five years, Lin Jiufeng had already explored and signed in to at least half of the tombs in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

He received various things from signing in at different tombs.

80 to 90% of what he received were cultivation techniques—most of them were the arts and techniques that the owner of the tomb cultivated throughout his entire life.

Each one of them was extremely rare, they could not be found even if one dedicated their entire life to it, but in here—they all became a part of Lin Jiufeng's arsenal.

He accepted and learned everything. Not only did he learn sword skills, but he also learned all sorts of peerless techniques. As long as he obtained them from signing in, Lin Jiufeng would study and cultivate them diligently.

He always became well-versed in them, and they seamlessly became a part of his strength.

After five years, Lin Jiufeng had become exponentially stronger.

But no one knew about it for he remained in the Cold Palace throughout the entire five years.

As for the white cat—despite making a bold declaration five years ago that she would make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm—she was still in the Human God Realm five years after her declaration.

The white cat was depressed.

She could now feel and understand how great the gap was between herself and Lin Jiufeng.

A few decades ago, Lin Jiufeng was a mere Martial Sage Realm expert. Although she was still not a match for Lin Jiufeng back then, at least, both of them were Martial Sages.

However, Lin Jiufeng had advanced at breakneck speeds since then.

His strength constantly improved and skyrocketed, yet she couldn't even enter the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

The white cat was sad.

Fortunately, she had never given up after all these years. All the effort that she expended so far was now about to bear fruit. If not for this, then the white cat would've long lost her determination to continue.

"Your talent is very poor compared to mine, but I'm an exception."

"Just compare yourself to Princess Yulin. Five years ago, she also said that she wanted to make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm. She practiced with the sword diligently and she only managed to do what she said five years ago, last year."

"If you compare yourself to her and make a breakthrough this year, the gap between you two won't be that big." Lin Jiufeng consoled.

After drinking Lin Jiufeng's chicken soup1, the white cat mustered her confidence and continued her study on how to break her bottleneck and make a breakthrough into the next realm.

Lin Jiufeng hugged her and treated her as a hand warmer.

He stood in the courtyard and looked at the pure white snow outside.

It was winter once more.

The cherry blossom tree had become bald long ago.

Snow covered its branches, and even the world itself was covered in snow.

The wind and snow today were exceptionally heavy. Countless snowstorms swept over, bringing with them cold and fierce winds that seemed to resemble mournful howls.

Lin Jiufeng took a deep breath and a large amount of spiritual energy was sucked into his mouth.

'The world's spiritual energy at this moment is at least three to five times better in quality and quantity than it was five years ago…'

Lin Jiufeng relaxed his body and absorbed as much as he could.

The spiritual energy from five years ago could only contain support cultivators at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Lin Jiufeng was very dissatisfied with its slow recovery rate.

Thus, he released the demons from the Cold Palace's demon's den to bolster the recovery of the world's spiritual energy.

And five years later, his theory seemed to be correct…

"Compared to five years ago, the recovery rate is three to five times as fast. With the passing of time, it's bound to become even faster and turbulent. In another five years, the rate would be 10 to 20 times faster than today's…'

Lin Jiufeng estimated.

At that time, it would really be a world where Supremacies could be easily found and cultivators at the Grotto-Heaven Realm would become as common as cabbages in a wet market.

The golden age of this era would probably begin in the next five to ten years.

Lin Jiufeng was satisfied.

Because he was the one that caused all of these.

If the world continued its rate of recovery five years ago, then the golden age of the brand-new era would've been delayed for 50 to 100 years.

Lin Jiufeng's actions back then had shortened the time by at least ten times.

A golden age was coming.

'I won't be affected that much with these changes, but the Yuhua God Dynasty and Emperor De are bound to be affected.' Lin Jiufeng recalled that Emperor De, who had come to beg for his help back then, had now transformed into a man similar to Emperor Yuan.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but smile.

After five years, Emperor De had become another Emperor Yuan.

He was cautious and careful as he maintained the stability of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

He also spared no expense in recruiting and nurturing talents.

It was also worth mentioning that he managed to recruit quite a number of experts, including a few demons to his side. But the unfortunate thing was, the demons didn't want to enter the Imperial Capital. As a result, Emperor De had to order them to protect the Imperial Capital in the four cardinal directions.

But it was not only Emperor De that had achieved great things in the past five years, Princess Yulin had also stepped into the Grotto-Heaven Realm. In addition, her incredible swordsmanship placed a lot of pressure on the various aristocratic families and sects.

Just like that, the Yuhua God Dynasty remained as stable as an old mountain.

During this period of time, Lin Jiufeng found that he didn't have to do anything nor lend any help.

Emperor De was diligent.

He formed great trade routes for exchanging resources with the various small countries, he recruited talents everywhere and amassed a great fortune for the dynasty's rainy day fund.

Moreover, his own reforms also helped to further bolster the growth of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

He didn't use Lin Jiufeng's reputation nor beg Lin Jiufeng for help.

Instead, he relied on his own efforts to maintain the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The entire world might be in turmoil, overall…

But the Yuhua God Dynasty remained relatively stable.

Emperor De could be considered to be the greatest contributor to this stability.

How did Lin Jiufeng know about these things?

Of course, Dachun told him.

More than 50 years have passed since then.

Dachun had also changed from a young and inexperienced youngster to an old man.

His cultivation remained at the peak of the Martial Sage Realm, he had yet to make a breakthrough.

But it was a realm high enough for him.

Dachun—who happened to be 70 years old this year—still came to deliver food and wine every month without a break.

Dachun was the one who told Lin Jiufeng these things.

Otherwise, how would Lin Jiufeng—who never left the Cold Palace—know about all of these things regarding Emperor De?

…

It was another year of heavy snow.

The appointed time every month arrived once more.

Dachun carried the food and wine as he walked amidst the snowstorm.

In the heavy snow, his plump body seemed to become even rounder.

"Your Royal Highness, Dachun is here to deliver food to you."

Dachun walked to the door of the Cold Palace and shouted.

With the white cat in his arms, Lin Jiufeng walked to the door and opened it.

Dachun didn't have to stuff the food into the Cold Palace from a small hole like before.

Sometime in the past five years, Lin Jiufeng had decided to directly open the door to drink and eat with Dachun.

When Dachun saw Lin Jiufeng, he called out respectfully. "Greetings, Your Royal Highness!"

It has been more than 50 years, but Dachun still remained respectful to Lin Jiufeng.

The commander of the imperial guards who sent Dachun to deliver food to Lin Jiufeng decades ago had long forgotten about Lin Jiufeng himself, but Dachun was still doing what he did since that order was given to him back then.

Lin Jiufeng let Dachun in and brought out the food and wine in the courtyard that was covered in the heavy snow.

"Your Royal Highness is still the same as before. You're still handsome and young-looking. Looking at Your Royal Highness's current appearance, you look exactly like you did more than 50 years ago, but I've changed. I've become different in every year that passed, and now I have become someone so fat with such a big stomach."

Dachun poured a cup of wine for Lin Jiufeng and lamented.

The decades that passed turned the relationship between the two into that of good friends from a vassal to a lord.

Lin Jiufeng didn't have many friends, Dachun was the only one.

As for the white cat, she was his closest family.

"Having a big stomach means that you have had no worries in life, isn't that a life that everyone wants?" Lin Jiufeng chuckled as he picked up his wine cup and drank the alcohol inside with Dachun.

"Your Royal Highness, I have never been an ambitious person. Since I was young, my dream was to remain energetic when I'm old, and I have already accomplished that small dream of mine," Dachun replied. His face looked serene and at peace.

"I'm not as capable as Your Royal Highness. Back then, during that chaotic incident at the top of the Forbidden City, the entire imperial court was helpless. I guarded the gates and was very anxious, but there was nothing I could do."

"At that time, Your Royal Highness appeared with a Martial Sage expert and killed the demon sect's ancestor with one stroke of your sword. Other than me, no one else in the world knew about it. I have never forgotten that scene despite the decades that passed." Dachun added.

Lin Jiufeng picked up a piece of chicken and passed it to the white cat.

Then, he looked at Dachun.

He said nothing.

Dachun was a little more talkative than usual today.

In the past, he would never talk about these things. He would only tell Lin Jiufeng what happened in the Yuhua God Dynasty and what happened in the world recently.

This was the first time that he spoke these heartfelt words to Lin Jiufeng.

Thus, Lin Jiufeng chose to listen rather than speak.

He raised a cup for Dachun once more.

Dachun drank the wine and let out a long breath.

Then, he explained. "Your Royal Highness, there has been a huge change in the Yuhua God Dynasty recently. Emperor De is wise and mighty, he has recruited many powerhouses and the Yuhua God Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous by the day…"

"A few days ago, Emperor De gave an order."

"What order?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"The order is to send experts from the Imperial Capital to become local officials of the various regions that the Yuhua God Dynasty occupies…"

"They will guard every region and pass on the imperial court's will so that some sort of centralized authority will be formed to consolidate the stability of every region occupied by the dynasty." Dachun added.

"You were one of the chosen ones?" Lin Jiufeng guessed why Dachun was like this today.

Dachun nodded and replied with a smile. "I can't slack even if I want to. Emperor De personally called out my name, and I'm also considered as an old minister from four dynasties. I should act as an example to the young'uns, so I can't refuse the order."

"Not bad. No wonder the dishes today are more bountiful than usual." Lin Jiufeng smiled.

The food on the table was more than twice what it was last month.

There was also an extra pot of wine.

"Your Royal Highness, I won't be able to return anytime soon. I won't be able to bring you any more food or wine. I will punish myself with this cup of wine," Dachun said apologetically.

"There's no need for that."

Lin Jiufeng stopped him and raised his own cup of wine to drink with him.

"Your Royal Highness, I can arrange for someone else to deliver food—"

Dachun proposed a solution.

"No need."

But before he could continue, Lin Jiufeng rejected his offer.

"Actually, I don't need to consume food or water since a long time ago. This is a habit that I've developed over the decades. If you deliver them to me, I will eat them. If someone else delivered them, they wouldn't have the same taste anymore," Lin Jiufeng said.

"To be honest, I do not need to consume food or water anymore to survive…"

"But I have a habit that I have developed over the decades that passed—the habit is that—if you're the one that delivered them to me, I will eat them. If it came from someone else, it wouldn't taste the same…"

Dachun nodded and didn't talk about it anymore.

"Where did the imperial court assign you to?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

Dachun was his friend, he should show some concern to his friend.

"My hometown, Jiangnan." Dachun revealed a joyous smile.

This was also the reason why he didn't refuse the order.

He wasn't born in the Imperial Capital.

Before he turned 13, he lived in the Jiangnan area.

It was only later that he followed his father into the Imperial Capital and started his career in the Imperial Capital for the next few decades.

After living in the imperial capital for 50 to 60 years, logically speaking, the Imperial Capital should've been the place that he should miss the most.

But the reality was different, Dachun had always longed for his hometown, Jiangnan.

"I've started my own family in the Imperial Capital, my livelihood also comes from the capital, and even my children are born in the Imperial Capital. But all these years, I know that my roots do not exist here."

"As the saying goes, a man does not turn away from the road, a tiger does not turn away from the mountains. After all these years, I have always been a visitor wherever I went aside from my hometown."

"After experiencing the trials and tribulations in the Imperial Capital, I've grown tired…"

"I want to return to my hometown. My old mother is just 100 years old this year. My brothers and sisters at home brought her back to my hometown decades ago. I haven't been back much in the past few years, so it's time for me to go back and fulfill my filial duties to her."

"The only person I can't let go of is Your Royal Highness. I've always felt that I still have a responsibility to fulfill. I've promised to deliver food to Your Royal Highness for a lifetime, but now, I'm about to go back on my words."

Dachun wryly smiled.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and replied, "Actually, you know that it doesn't matter to me whether you deliver food or not. I've always treated you as a friend and I've always looked forward to my monthly conversations with you, so I can listen to you talking about all sorts of things…"

"It's a habit that I've developed over the years."

Dachun nodded.

"I know that Your Royal Highness doesn't need me to deliver food for your survival. I also know that Your Royal Highness is very powerful…"

"There are only a handful of people in the entire Imperial Capital who knows Your Royal Highness's true capabilities, and I am one of those that truly understands how strong you are…"

"If Your Royal Highness is here, then the Yuhua God Dynasty is here to stay…"

"If not for Your Royal Highness, the Yuhua God Dynasty would've already perished countless times in the decades that passed. The common people of this world must express their gratitude to Your Royal Highness."

Lin Jiufeng waved his hand in dismissal. "Let's drink."

Express their gratitude? For what?

As the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty, they naturally had the responsibility to protect the common people in their territories.

Lin Jiufeng helped out the previous emperors, that was all there was to it.

Even now, Lin Jiufeng didn't have to help that much because Emperor De was doing a great job.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Dachun and Lin Jiufeng chatted a lot.

This was the first time that they truly had a heartfelt conversation with each other.

But in the end, Dachun still left.

After giving Lin Jiufeng a deep bow, he disappeared with his back turned to the Cold Palace.

Amidst the snowstorm, Dachun's plump back disappeared into the fierce wind and heavy snow.

Lin Jiufeng flicked his finger and a streak of sword energy shot out and entered Dachun's body.

Just like the battle on the top of the Forbidden City back then, Lin Jiufeng had once again bestowed upon Dachun a sword energy for his protection.

"I hope that this sword energy wouldn't have to be activated…." Lin Jiufeng softly mumbled.

That sword energy back then didn't activate because Dachun never arrived in harm's way.

Lin Jiufeng hoped that the sword energy this time would dissipate naturally similar to what happened back then.

Chapter 115: Don't Dare

Dachun left.

Just as he had said—a man does not turn away from the road, a tiger does not turn away from the mountains.

Dachun had no wild ambitions in the path of cultivation. In the end, he chose to stay away from the turbulent Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty to fulfill his filial duties in peace.

After Dachun's departure, Lin Jiufeng became lonelier.

He closed the doors of the Cold Palace. Other than signing in before the tomb of an invincible powerhouse of the previous era every day within the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy, he spent the rest of his time cultivating in silence.

This cycle repeated day after day.

Until one month later…

Lin Jiufeng arrived at the door of the Cold Palace. As usual, he patiently waited for Dachun to deliver this month's batch of food and wine.

But Dachun was nowhere to be seen.

It was rare for Dachun to be late.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the tightly shut door.

It was only then that he came to a sudden realization…

Dachun had truly left.

Another one of the few people he knew had left his side once more.

At night, Lin Jiufeng didn't cultivate. He walked alone outside the courtyard, looking up at the moonlight under the bare cherry blossom tree. Both his hands were placed on his lower abdomen, and as he looked up, his thin body radiated loneliness.

Meow!

The white cat stood on the top of the wall.

She looked at Lin Jiufeng and called out softly.

"Little Cat, after all these years, the people I have known have all left me one by one. They either died or went far away. Now I know how lonely the path of cultivation can be."

Lin Jiufeng raised his head. There was a trace of loneliness on his handsome face.

"I'm still here," the white cat said gently as she looked into Lin Jiufeng's eyes.

"I've been working hard in my cultivation all this time. I've never caused trouble, never made a name for myself, never talked about my future. I've only been walking on the path of cultivation quietly in this cold palace, all for the sake of eventually reaching the summit of this path."

"Unknowingly, I am now on the path to invincibility…"

"The people around me have left me one after another."

"It turns out that at the summit of being invincible is nothing but loneliness," Lin Jiufeng said rather seriously.

It wasn't that he was sad, it was just that he wasn't used to it just yet.

He developed the habit of waiting for Dachun's food delivery over the course of a few decades.

But this month, he now didn't have to continue that habit.

"I will always be by your side," the white cat said firmly.

Lin Jiufeng smiled and reached out with his hand.

The white cat leaped into Lin Jiufeng's arms.

Lin Jiufeng caught her as she laid comfortably in his arms.

"The path of cultivation is like a huge mountain. There are people at every step of the way, and they are doing their best to climb up while chasing after the people higher than them…"

"Some people got tired and stopped to rest. Some lost their footing and fell to the foot of this mountain, while some people continued to move forward bravely and eventually reached the peak."

"I am one of those courageous people who have always been climbing…"

"The only difference between me and them—is that I still don't know where the summit is."

"In these five years, I've practiced countless peerless cultivation techniques from the previous era and eventually went on to create my own invincible technique."

"Little Cat, let me bring you to the top of this great mountain…"

"Let's see what it's like to be truly invincible."

Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat and spoke his thoughts under the moonlight.

Meow!

He was already invincible in the current era.

But he wondered if he would still be invincible if he was placed in the previous era?

…

The world has changed drastically in the past five years.

In the past, Martial Sages were considered to be powerful powerhouses.

But now, they have become as common as cabbages in wet markets.

Back then, a reputable sect without a peak Human God expert presiding over it would definitely be wiped out in a blink of an eye.

But in the past five years, many experts made their own breakthroughs into the Grotto-Heaven Realm—a realm above the Human God Realm.

These five years were definitely five glorious years for the demonic sects.

Following Lin Jiufeng's suppression of the demonic sects, the momentum of their rise directly collapsed. Each of the 18 demonic sects wanted nothing more than to completely overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty.

They hated the Yuhua God Dynasty to the core.

Taking advantage of the commotion that Demon King Jiao caused after he came into being, the demonic sects wanted to overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty. But before they could even do anything substantial, Demon King Jiao was suppressed

The demonic sects thus became disheartened. In the end, they decided to remain silent.

But a pleasant surprise came…

More than 3,000 demons from the previous era came into being at once and threw the world into chaos.

The 18 demonic sects once again felt that they were finally strong enough to make another move.

With more than 3,000 demonic ancestors present, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for them to destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty?

But for some reason, the 3,000 or so demonic ancestors were unwilling to provoke the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The 18 demonic sects had no choice but to place their sights on the entire cultivation world instead. The demonic sects rapidly expanded and rose in power, seemingly wanting to suppress the entire cultivation world.

Fortunately, some of the powerhouses from the Buddhist and Daoist sects woke up one after another. Like the demonic sects, they revealed their own presences in this brand-new era.

In the cultivation world, heroes vied for supremacy.

One after another, countless powerhouses woke up.

The world drastically changed.

For a time, in the various large sects that were located in various famous mountains and great rivers, their sects' mountain gates were filled to the brim with people who wanted to enter their sects and learn from them.

The popularity of these large sects also accelerated the recovery of the world's spiritual energy.

Lin Jiufeng's action of releasing more than 3,000 powerful demons into the world back then was truly the catalyst that caused such rapid advancement that seemingly had no end.

In the 18 Demon Sects, there was a sect called the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect.

They were one of the 18 sects that haven't revealed the true extent of their strength just yet.

They were powerful, but they weren't that famous.

The Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect recruited a few demons from the batch of demons that Lin Jiufeng had released. Using every means possible, they enticed the demons to affiliate themselves with them to bolster the strength of their sect.

After five years, these few demons managed to recover a great portion of their strength.

Each of them was already at the Supremacy Realm.

"Hahaha… Five years! Five whole years! I've finally returned to the Supremacy Realm."

A giant bat demon hung upside down and laughed.

He cackled, obviously unable to hide his excitement.

After five years of non-stop absorption of the world's spiritual energy day and night, he finally made his return to the Supremacy Realm.

His laughter shook the nearby mountains and rivers.

Even the people from the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect were alarmed.

But they were all overjoyed upon hearing his words.

Another Demon Lord made a breakthrough into the Supremacy realm.

"Old Bat, why are you so excited about making a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm?" A shriveled old man walked over with a walking stick, his face was filled with displeasure.

"Old Blood Demon, don't you know how we've spent the past five years?" The huge bat's body shrank and he transformed into his human form.

He became a short man with deep eye sockets and dark skin. He was nothing short of ugly.

"Of course, I know!"

"For the past five years, I didn't even dare to leave the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect. Even if I wanted to suck some blood, I had to do it secretly…"

"I was afraid that I would accumulate too much blood and resentment in my hands to the point that someone from the imperial capital would notice." Blood Demon gnashed his teeth.

"Five years! Five whole years! I starved for five whole years! My body is already so thin from hunger after enduring for so long!"

Blood Demon pointed at his own body, he was resentful of his fate.

He was a Blood Demon. Of course, he loved blood more than any delicacy in this world—especially blood from young and beautiful women or from the young people who had yet to lose their Yang energy.

Their blood was simply the greatest delicacy for him.

But because of Lin Jiufeng…

He didn't dare to go out and hunt for food for five whole years.

"I keep having this feeling that once I go out to look for food, he will find out what I am doing…"

"This feeling is simply so scary…"

"My heart's palpitating so much that I don't even dare to go out."

Blood Demon gnashed his teeth.

"Old Blood Demon, since you hate him that much, and I also hate him to death, do you dare to do something big?" The Bat Demon said with a vicious look.

"I don't dare!" But the old Blood Demon rejected the bat.

Directly and succinct, without the slightest hesitation.

The Bat Demon was rendered speechless as he looked at the old Blood Demon.

Chapter 116: Walking Out of the Void

Blood Demon looked at Bat Demon and asked, "You want to go and kill him?"

"Of course!" Bat Demon nodded fiercely.

"You can go ahead and die on your own. Don't drag me down with you. I won't go." Blood Demon shook his head and pulled away.

"You are the Blood Demon Supremacy, and I am the Bat King Supremacy. If we contacted the others and worked together to kill him, wouldn't it be easy to kill him then?" The Bat King Supremacy couldn't understand what the Blood Demon Supremacy was thinking.

Blood Demon shook his head.

"I won't agree to it. No matter how convincing your words are, I am not hearing it."

When the Bat King heard his words, he became so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

"You hate him so much, and you don't even dare to go out and suck blood because you're afraid of him. But now that you have the chance to take action against him, you're still going to be afraid?"

"It's true that I hate him. It's also true that I'm afraid of him."

Blood Demon directly admitted that he was scared of Lin Jiufeng.

"He was already a Supremacy Realm expert five years ago. I have no idea how powerful he has become after five years. I won't take that kind of risk." Blood Demon directly added.

"Trash!" The Bat King rebuked.

"Just treat me like a piece of trash. Go. Kill him and prove to me that you're not a piece of trash like me." Blood Demon wasn't angry at all. Instead, he provoked the Bat Demon into action.

"Hmph, I'll go look for more people. There are more than 3,000 of us, and they are all at the Supremacy Realm. I don't believe that at least ten people won't be enough to suppress him!"

The Bat Demon angrily announced.

He directly passed by the old Blood Demon and went to look for the others.

Blood Demon watched silently, he didn't seem to regret his decision.

…

In the 18 demonic sects, one demon after another recovered their strength up to the Supremacy Realm.

The killing intent in their hearts was rekindled after hibernating for so long.

Revenge!

This word filled their minds.

Every demon in that demon's den, regardless of gender or strength, had once suffered under Lin Jiufeng's beatings.

And they were all defeated with a single slap—a slap that was strong enough to seriously injure each of them.

The humiliation that they suffered was truly unbearable for these demons.

In the past, they were not capable enough. Thus, they could only endure it.

But now, each of them was in the Supremacy Realm.

Thousands of years ago, they were already Supremacies.

As for Lin Jiufeng, he had only been a Supremacy for less than ten years.

No matter how powerful he was, if a few more of the demons acted together, they would definitely be able to kill him.

This was a joint effort initiated by the Supremacy Realm expert Bat Demon.

He went to look for the more violent and easily-agitated demons.

He asked them directly,

"Are you interested in doing something big?"

When these demons asked him what exactly he wanted to do—the Bat King stretched out his hand and pointed.

The Imperial Capital that was millions of miles away appeared in everyone's minds.

"Let's do it!" This was the unanimous answer of the demons that he found.

It was the complete opposite of the Blood Demon's answer.

Bat King looked at them and felt much better.

Indeed, there were very few heretics like Blood Demon.

For three days in a row, the Bat King searched for demons. He went deep into the mountains, to the side of the sea, and to the other demonic sects.

He managed to gather a total of 15 demon Supremacies.

Each of them hated Lin Jiufeng to the core, wishing they could skin him alive.

The 15 demon Supremacies felt that their combined strength was enough. Not to mention one-on-one, if they attacked together, they could destroy the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty in an instant.

"Ten years of enmity, I must take revenge today!" Bat Demon gnashed his teeth.

The 15 Supremacies that he had gathered also had ferocious looks in their eyes.

Each of them rubbed their fists, their killing intent surged.

"After killing him, I will wash the Imperial Capital in blood. I will use the corpses of millions to signal my arrival into this world, the Corpse Supremacy!"

"I want vengeful spirits, endless vengeful spirits."

"I just want to kill…"

"I haven't killed anyone on such a large scale for thousands of years now. My hands are itchy."

"As for me, I just want to bring that kid's head here and turn it into a lamp."

…

One demon after another spoke vicious words.

Their faces were hideous and their eyes were blood-red.

They were true demons who truly displayed what the word 'demon' meant.

They were either evil creatures that took on human forms, or they were twisted humans who fell into depravity, only killing for the sake of it.

They were resentful after being suppressed by Lin Jiufeng for ten whole years.

In addition, their fury grew even hotter when they still had to be controlled by Lin Jiufeng even after they've escaped the demon's den. They didn't even dare to do whatever they wanted in the past five years.

Therefore, they acted together and decided that they were done enduring. After some preparation, they headed to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty, wanting to kill Lin Jiufeng and destroy the Imperial Capital in the process.

15 demons at the Supremacy Realm came out of the mountains together.

Their auras were terrifying, to say the least, but they did not even hide their auras at all.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Their demonic auras surged, the group of demons soared into the sky at breakneck speeds as they flew towards the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The Imperial Capital was millions of miles away, yet this distance didn't pose a problem to these demons at the Supremacy Realm. Combining their strength, they formed a vast domain that pierced through the void itself as they directly flew over.

The world that remained at peace in the past five years was trembling once more.

Everyone could feel the terrifying aura…

15 Supremacies…

The Supremacy Realm was the strongest cultivation realm that the current era could handle.

It required the resources of an entire sect or faction just to produce a single Supremacy expert.

But now, 15 of them appeared at the same time.

They stirred up a storm and rushed to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Just like five years ago, when Demon King Jiao made his appearance, their presences were vast and mighty.

The world itself trembled with their appearance.

Everyone turned their attention to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

How would they respond?

…

Imperial Capital…

Lin Jiufeng had already sensed the approaching sinister aura even before Emperor De and the others noticed it.

But he didn't immediately make his move.

From hundreds of thousands of miles away, Lin Jiufeng could see the surging tide of demonic energy in the sky.

He was familiar with their auras.

The approaching demons must be from the demon's den five years ago.

Lin Jiufeng stood in the Cold Palace, he watched the unfolding situation with an undisturbed look on his face.

"I thought you guys would continue to wait until you've arrived at the peak of the Supremacy Realm before coming to find trouble with me. But I didn't expect you guys to be so anxious…"

Lin Jiufeng calmly stated.

His eyelids drooped. He wasn't worried at all. He didn't take them seriously.

He even had time to receive his guest.

A guest came to visit him.

It was Princess Yulin.

Princess Yulin—who was now almost 30 years old— had become increasingly beautiful and otherworldly. Her cultivation base was now at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

"Big Grand-Uncle, the demons are invading! The millions of people in the Imperial Capital are in danger. Big Grand-Uncle, please save them!"

After entering, Princess Yulin directly knelt and implored.

She came to beg Lin Jiufeng for him to save the common people in the Imperial Capital.

Because the demons' auras were too strong, she knew that she was no match for them.

Princess Yulin knew at first glance that she could only hope to match the strength of the approaching demons.

She couldn't resist them.

The only person in the entire Imperial Capital who could resist them was Lin Jiufeng.

Hence, she came uninvited.

Ever since they parted at Wolf Storey Mountain, she finally saw Lin Jiufeng in the flesh.

"Ten years ago, I taught you how to cultivate the way of the sword. You have worked very hard all these years and you've even managed to make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm. You have done yourself a great favor."

"You came at just the right time today. I shall teach you another sword move. Figure it out yourself. If you can figure it out, it won't be difficult for you to make a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm."

Princess Yulin could be said to be his successor in the way of the sword, and she was now a vital existence to the Yuhua God Dynasty—she was one of the Yuhua God Dynasty's pillars of support.

Lin Jiufeng naturally wanted to make her stronger.

"Pass me your sword." Lin Jiufeng extended his hand.

Princess Yulin respectfully handed over her sword.

Lin Jiufeng lifted the sword and took a step forward.

Boom!

In an instant, a sword glow manifested. Its light was so bright it was like a blazing sun.

Lin Jiufeng walked out of the sword glow with the sword in hand.

Then, he slashed out.

The sun and the moon themselves were overturned.

The mountains and the rivers split apart.

The demons that rushed over from millions of miles away felt their hearts tremble.

All of a sudden, a figure walked out of the void and stood in front of them.

And with a sword in hand, he slashed out…

Chapter 117: Flying Sword Technique

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A vast demonic aura could be seen soaring through the skies. 15 demons at the Supremacy Realm joined forces and were currently rushing towards the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty. No one dared to stand in their way.

They soon arrived right above the Wei River.

After five years of suppression, Demon King Jiao had already resigned himself to his fate.

With his injuries having long recovered, and without any restrictions to his natural absorption of the world's spiritual energy—Demon King Jiao had long made a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm.

But he still found himself unable to escape.

The 36 bone swords firmly suppressed him.

Demon King Jiao had once resisted them with the strength of a Supremacy Realm expert.

He struggled with all his might and stirred up the surging Wei River.

It was in the midst of a heavy and torrential rain.

Demon King Jiao mustered all of his strength and almost forced the swords out of his body.

But just as he was about to succeed, a force descended out of nowhere.

It was as if this force was holding onto the 36 bone swords.

This mysterious might and forcefully inserted each of the 36 bone swords back in.

Demon King Jiao's resistance had yet again become futile. He fell into the river once more and became unable to move since then.

That night, Demon King Jiao finally understood how terrifying Lin Jiufeng was.

Therefore, when he saw these 15 demons at the Supremacy Realm charging over to the Imperial Capital with such great fanfare, he felt disdain for them from the bottom of his heart.

"They are seeking their deaths," said Demon King Jiao.

The Wei River boiled and split to the sides.

A massive Heaven Raising Bull stepped out of the water.

He was also now at the Supremacy Realm; his injuries had also long recovered.

"We were suppressed by him together for ten whole years, yet they still don't understand just how terrifying that person really is. At this point, I can only mourn for their fate." Demon King Pingtian sighed.

He recognized the 15 demons.

In the demon's den beneath the Cold Palace, they were comrades that had once discussed how truly powerful Lin Jiufeng was and just what exactly was the reason for his rapid improvement.

They stayed in that demon's den for ten whole years, so just how could these demons have forgotten about what they have talked about for so long after just five years?

"How many moves do you think it will take for him to eliminate those demons?"

Demon King Jiao asked.

Demon King Pingtian thought for a while and replied, "It should take him about three moves. After all, they are already Supremacies."

"I think it's just one move!" Demon King Jiao said confidently.

Demon King Pingtian replied, "That's too terrifying. If that's the case, I think that even if Big Brother wakes up, it won't be that easy to rescue you from this place."

Demon King Jiao immediately became somber. He didn't speak anymore.

He silently watched the unfolding scene.

The sky above the Wei River was clear and boundless.

It should've remained calm and serene at all times.

But suddenly, a huge ball of demonic energy shot over.

It carried with it a boundless might as it rushed straight for the Imperial Capital.

But right at this moment, Lin Jiufeng slashed with his sword.

The world suddenly fell silent.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the 15 demon Supremacies.

With a sword in hand, he walked out of the void and slashed out with the sword.

The figure appeared so suddenly and so quick that there was practically no time to think.

The eyes of the 15 demons widened. Immediately afterwards, the ball of demonic aura that they had condensed around them stirred. They urged it to explode so that the fight would end in mutual destruction—it was them against the incoming sword energy.

But it was already too late.

Pu!

The power that the figure mustered was enough to destroy the world.

Starting with the Bat Demon, the sword energy pierced through his neck and cut off his head.

Then, without slowing down, the heads of the other 15 demons were cut off in a blink of an eye.

Blood spurted like rain.

Tick, tick, tick…

Their blood drenched the Wei River in red.

The spiritual energy in their blood nourished the creatures in the Wei River.

The heads of the 15 demons fell one after another. Water splashed everywhere as they landed.

Then, this sword energy also cut open the domain condensed from their combined demonic energies.

Afterwards, the headless bodies of the 15 demons all plunged into the Wei River.

Only the figure that walked out of the void stood in the air with a sword in hand remained.

His body was faintly discernible.

Behind him, a sword light that resembled a sun towered from above.

The world fell silent.

The initially excited demonic sects were rendered speechless.

The various sects and the aristocratic families that were watching the commotion were dejected.

Wasn't this too terrifying?

A few demons finally understood the difference between them and Lin Jiufeng.

In the Wei River, the suppressed Demon King Jiao exclaimed in shock. "This strike is the Flying Sword Technique of the Millennium Sword God of the old era!"

He recognized it.

This move from Lin Jiufeng came from tens of thousands of miles away.

Yet, he still managed to kill 15 demon Supremacies with a stroke of his sword.

"Using his Divine Soul to control the sword, and using the laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to temper his Divine Soul. He walked out of the void from so far away, and he actually crossed tens of thousands of miles with a single strike, killing these 15 demons…"

Other than shock, Demon King Jiao didn't know what to feel.

In the previous era, the Millennium Sword God was a very terrifying existence.

The Flying Sword Technique was definitely an invincible killing move to many people.

Countless people wanted to learn this sword technique.

But the Millennium Sword God didn't have a single disciple.

After he died, everyone thought that his sword technique was lost.

But Demon King Jiao didn't expect to see it today.

"But… how did he learn the Flying Sword Technique?" Demon King Jiao was puzzled.

Demon King Pingtian explained, "I told him that the Land of Extreme Negative Energy was beneath the demon's den and that buried beneath it were countless powerhouses who had died in the battle for the land back then…"

"He might have gone to explore it and obtained the Flying Sword Technique in the process."

"That's still too terrifying…"

"It has only been a few years, yet he's already so skilled in the Flying Sword Technique! Unbelievable… He's practically the chosen one of this era."

Demon King Jiao sighed. He was both envious and resentful.

"That's right. People like him are not people that we can deal with. Those demons have overestimated themselves. Isn't what they have done any different from sending themselves to their deaths?"

Demon King Pingtian lamented as he looked at the corpses floating in the Wei River.

"They are even dumber than me." Demon King Jiao couldn't help but add.

In the past five years, his character had changed considerably.

He was no longer as arrogant as he was before.

But Demon King Pingtian took advantage of this opportunity to mock.

"I think they are just as stupid as you."

Demon King Jiao directly chose to ignore him.

At the very least, he was still alive and could still continue on his path to the summit of cultivation.

…

In the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng maintained his posture of slashing out with the sword.

He then said to Princess Yu Lin. "Did you see it?"

Princess Yulin looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise.

Her mind was filled with that sword move just now.

The sword move he had unleashed could be said to be magnificent and peerless.

It was mysterious and strong enough to stun the world.

Princess Yulin covered her mouth and suppressed her excitement as she asked.

"What sword technique was that?"

Lin Jiufeng retracted the sword and handed it over to Princess Yulin before explaining. "It's the Flying Sword Technique. You should spend some time comprehending it. Once you succeed, you will be able to make a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm."

"Big Grand-Uncle, is there only this one move?"

Princess Yulin wanted to see a few more strokes.

"The enemies are all dead, who should I kill next?" Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

He had yet to discover anyone who could make him execute a second strike.

"Go back and do your best to understand it. Don't let your thoughts run wild."

Lin Jiufeng raised his hand and sent Princess Yulin away.

"Oh right…"

"Have Emperor De look for those demonic sects. They must pay a heavy price for what they have done. If they dare to disagree, then tell them to never show their faces again in the Yuhua God Dynasty…"

"Those demonic sects have been really rampant in these few years."

"They actually dared to make a move on the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty. The lives of the millions of people in the dynasty cannot be trifled with. We must let them know the meaning of pain, so they will hesitate to make their next move," Lin Jiufeng said coldly.

"I will go and tell Brother Emperor. If Brother Emperor knows that Big Grand-Uncle helped defend the Imperial Capital this time, he will definitely be excited." Princess Yulin replied with a brilliant smile on her lips.

"Go." Lin Jiufeng dismissed her with a wave of his hand.

Chapter 118: War Machine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With Lin Jiufeng's killing of the 15 demons at the Supremacy Realm, the restless world became somewhat calm.

Those that heard of Lin Jiufeng's feat found him unfathomable.

To be able to kill 15 Supremacies with one strike, just exactly how powerful was he?

A few powerhouses from the previous era who had just broken through their own seals couldn't help but gasp when they witnessed his move.

This… This was simply incredible!

Those that expressed their shock were mostly those that had seen Lin Jiufeng make a move for the first time. But the demons that he had suppressed for ten whole years back then were all too familiar with this scene.

In those ten years, every time Lin Jiufeng came over, a demon would attack him.

However, with only just a casual slap on his end, that demon would always end up severely injured.

They couldn't retaliate at all.

It has been five years since they escaped from that demon's den. But until now, they reckoned that the result of them attacking Lin Jiufeng would still be the same.

The 3,000 plus demons have scattered all over the land. They became busy with their own matters. But when the 15 demons charged into the Imperial Capital in great fanfare to kill Lin Jiufeng, they all had different expectations.

Some secretly looked forward to the battle…

Some frowned, but kept on watching…

And some directly shook their heads in dismissal…

One of those that shook their heads was Queen Scarlet—the one who had built the demon's den beneath the Cold Palace. After she gained her freedom, she traveled overseas and witnessed Lin Jiufeng's move scene from thousands of mountains and rivers away.

Witnessing what the 15 demons were about to do, she coldly snorted.

"A bunch of fools seeking their deaths."

Sure enough, Lin Jiufeng didn't even personally appear.

He killed them with a single sword move from tens of thousands of miles away.

Queen Scarlet wore a grave look.

"Five years have passed and he has become even stronger. He has been working very hard in the Supremacy Realm. To defeat him so early into this era, it wouldn't be that easy, strength in numbers just isn't enough to defeat him…"

She experienced Lin Jiufeng's might on their final day in that demon's den.

Thus, she knew all too well just how strong Lin Jiufeng was.

As a result, she treated the actions of the Bat King and the others as the actions of clowns in a circus.

"Only after I've completed my transformation and when this world becomes even more exciting will the golden age of this era truly begin…" Queen Scarlet murmured as she looked at the Imperial Capital in the distance.

She went deep into the sea to complete her transformation.

In the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect, Blood Demon also saw this scene.

He looked at his shriveled body and said softly, "I think that it would be good for me to just absorb the blood of wild beasts in the future. I'm old and my stomach isn't that good, I should change my taste."

"As a man, I should know when to retreat and to advance."

Lin Jiufeng was just too fierce.

Blood Demon was secretly glad that his mind was clear enough and he didn't listen to the words of Bat King.

Otherwise, he would've been dead by now.

But on second thought—the fiercer and stronger Lin Jiufeng was—the more aggrieved he felt.

The days of freely sucking the blood of mortals seemed to be gone forever.

Lin Jiufeng's silent oppression in the hearts of the demons like Blood Demon didn't disappear.

In fact, it became even stronger.

"How can there be such a monster in this world?" Blood Demon let out a long sigh.

Right now, he only wanted to stay in the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect.

He planned on slowly nourishing himself here without leaving.

This world where Lin Jiufeng existed was just too dangerous for him to roam freely.

…

The outside world became turbulent for a while, but to Lin Jiufeng—killing those 15 demon Supremacies didn't pose any significant problem to him.

Five years ago, he was already at the Supremacy Realm.

The domain that he had nurtured in his body had already become as vast and as boundless as the seas.

After continuously signing in for five whole years in the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy, he had received countless peerless techniques from the various tombs that he had signed in at.

Each of the techniques he received was similar to the Flying Sword Technique of the Millennium Sword God. They were all peerless techniques from the same era.

By signing in, he could receive peerless techniques.

Just from this alone made it obvious that Lin Jiufeng wasn't someone to be trifled with.

He studied every technique seriously. It wasn't that difficult for him to assimilate the techniques that he received from signing in and then turning them into his own.

In addition, with the help of the rising tide of the world's spiritual energy, he became akin to a fish swimming against the current. The only exception was that the current didn't pose a problem to him.

In fact, he was even more troubled as to where exactly he was headed to.

The Flying Sword Technique was only one of Lin Jiufeng's peerless techniques.

Right now, after receiving so many peerless techniques…

Lin Jiufeng knew that he had to find a way to combine all of these techniques together to create his own invincible technique that was the amalgamation of everything that he had received so far.

When separated, they were the various peerless techniques that he received from signing in.

Together, they were Lin Jiufeng's invincible technique.

This was Lin Jiufeng's current goal.

As for the demons that he had killed, they were just akin to a passerby in his peaceful journey to the summit of cultivation.

Lin Jiufeng didn't take the incident seriously at all.

After he executed the Flying Sword Technique, he resumed his peaceful and quiet life.

He continued with his daily routine.

The next day, he went deep into the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy. Soon enough, he arrived at its core. Here, there were fewer tombs than Lin Jiufeng had expected. They weren't as densely packed compared to the tombs in the outer regions.

But the quality of the rewards had increased exponentially.

Today, Lin Jiufeng stood before a small grave and looked at the stone tablet with words carved on it. The words written on the stone tablet were written with bold calligraphy. Furthermore, the message it displayed was very interesting in Lin Jiufeng's eyes.

[Tomb of the 49th Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect!]

[Tomb maker: The tomb owner himself!]

These were the two sets of words written on the stone tablet.

Lin Jiufeng could tell that these words were carved out using True Qi that was concentrated on one's fingertip.

The handwriting looked ancient, yet mighty.

The handwriting was cursive, yet it clearly displayed the complicated emotions of the writer as he wrote this set of words.

Writing his own epitaph…

"He's the previous Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect…" Lin Jiufeng mumbled.

The Zenith Heaven Path Sect had already awakened in this brand-new era and they had become a sect beneath the banner of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

But even though they were under the protection of the Yuhua God Dynasty, Lin Jiufeng knew that those people were constantly doing their best to infiltrate and replace the higher-ranking members of the Imperial Court with their own members.

Emperor De made several transactions with the Zenith Heaven Path Sect in exchange for their support. At the same time, Emperor De also roped in other sects to suppress the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. He didn't allow them to be the sole dominating in the entire dynasty.

To be honest, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect seemed to be in decline even though their members had just awakened into this brand-new era.

Their sect was in the mountains outside the Imperial Capital, none of their members also dared to go deep into the Imperial Capital, much more into the Forbidden City…

This was understandable, however, for they knew that the Yuhua God Dynasty had a terrifying guardian deity protecting it.

The Zenith Heaven Path Sect only let their disciples investigate this matter in secret.

They had so many powerhouses, but none of them dared to enter the Imperial Capital.

In the struggle between the Zenith Heaven Path Sect and Emperor De, both sides suffered victories and losses.

But the crucial fact was that Emperor De had greatly reduced the Zenith Heaven Path Sect's potential for development. It seemed as if the former was trying his best to reduce the chances of the latter becoming the sole dominating sect in the dynasty.

Emperor De's actions endlessly frustrated the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.

Lin Jiufeng had previously heard about these things from Dachun.

Lin Jiufeng didn't expect to encounter the tomb of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect's 49th Sect Leader in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

[Do you want to Sign-In before the tomb of the 49th Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect?]

These words appeared before Lin Jiufeng's eyes.

"Sign in!" Lin Jiufeng agreed.

[Sign-In successful. Received a war machine!]

Lin Jiufeng was stunned. A-what?

Soon, an expressionless corpse appeared before Lin Jiufeng.

The corpse was about three meters tall.

His eyes were closed, yet his breathing was steady despite how he looked.

His physique was muscular, his skin was bronze in color, while his eyebrows were thick.

The key problem was that there was no life in this person's body. Moreover, Lin Jiufeng could sense that his internal organs were the strongest in the world.

Despite how imposing he looked, what mattered was that he didn't have the breath of life.

What was more shocking, however, was the fact that even though he was technically not alive—his internal organs that helped his body operate were the strongest Lin Jiufeng had ever seen in this world.

The only problem was that he was technically dead.

[This is a war machine that has been refined under the hands of countless people. When he was still alive, he was once a peerless martial artist. But after his death, his corpse was refined and turned into a war machine.]

[Even in death, his body still possesses a terrifying strength. It only knows how to kill and has no other feelings. Its recovery ability is extremely strong, and as long as a piece of its flesh still exists, it could rapidly recover from its injuries.]

These lines of words resolved some of Lin Jiufeng's questions.

"Isn't he the same as Nameless? Just that he's hundreds or thousands of times stronger than Nameless…" Lin Jiufeng mumbled.

He looked at this so-called war machine, but he decided not to activate it just yet.

Chapter 119: Arranging Back-up Plans

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After having received the war machine, Lin Jiufeng seemed a little disappointed.

"He's a sect leader after all…"

"He's the previous sect leader of such a sect that existed for several eras. But to think that I would receive such a thing after signing in at his tomb." Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

The war machine was indeed very powerful.

If it was activated, even Lin Jiufeng would have to spend a considerable amount of time dealing with it.

But…

How was it useful to Lin Jiufeng?

He already had such a 'war machine' back then, he had played with something like this decades ago.

Back then, it was barely useful to him.

But now, it wasn't useful at all.

"Well, it's better than nothing. When the time comes, I'll just send it to Emperor De. I reckon that it can help suppress any turmoil in the Yuhua God Dynasty. This way, I won't have to do anything and I can continue to cultivate in peace."

Lin Jiufeng could only console himself in this manner.

He had to cultivate diligently to reach the peak of cultivation in this world.

Only then could he revive Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

This was Lin Jiufeng's ultimate goal.

Returning to the Cold Palace with the war machine, the white cat looked at the three-meter tall war machine in surprise.

The war machine's eyes were closed and lifeless.

He walked along with Lin Jiufeng.

Whenever Lin Jiufeng stopped, he would stop.

He did no other actions nor expressed any other expression on his face.

"What is that?" The white cat asked curiously.

"This is… this is a war machine. It isn't useful to us, so I am planning on handing it over to Emperor De. This should help him to stabilize the tumultuous state affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty."

Lin Jiufeng explained.

"Oh." Upon hearing that it wouldn't be of much help to them, the white cat lost her interest.

She curled up on the frost jade bed and continued to cultivate. She was preparing for her eventual breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Lin Jiufeng, on the other hand, sent a voice transmission to Emperor De.

"Come to the Cold Palace!"

Emperor De jolted awake.

He ignored the state affairs and stood up in excitement.

The voice he heard came from his Big Grand-Uncle!

He had never seen Lin Jiufeng's true appearance just yet.

Princess Yulin brought him into the Cold Palace once.

After that, he didn't have a chance to go in since then.

Even when he asked Lin Jiufeng for help that time, he stopped just short of entering the Cold Palace.

But now that Lin Jiufeng had called for him, Emperor De was naturally excited.

Putting down everything in his hands, he hurriedly left the Forbidden City and came to the gates of the Cold Palace on his own.

"Greetings, Big Grand-Uncle!" Emperor De greeted respectfully.

"Come in," Lin Jiufeng said.

Emperor De immediately composed himself.

He took a deep breath and entered the dilapidated Cold Palace.

Passing through a few corridors, he saw a quiet courtyard.

In front of the courtyard were two cherry trees that were now bald due to the changing seasons.

Two figures stood under the cherry trees.

It was Lin Jiufeng and a tall giant.

Emperor De knew this place.

Princess Yulin had brought him here before.

It was here that he discovered the true identity of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.

"Big Grand-Uncle!"

Emperor De greeted Lin Jiufeng who looked like an immortal that had been banished into this mortal realm.

"This is the first time that we've met," Lin Jiufeng said calmly.

"This grandnephew has been unfilial," Emperor De said obsequiously.

In the Forbidden City, he was a domineering emperor.

But in front of Lin Jiufeng, he was a mere junior.

"I'm going into seclusion." Lin Jiufeng looked at Emperor De.

Emperor De fell into a daze.

The situation in this world was becoming more and more chaotic as time went by.

Of course, Emperor De did his best to solve every problem that popped up while creating opportunities for the dynasty's development

But all of this relied on the fact that the Yuhua God Dynasty had a terrifying guardian deity.

Lin Jiufeng rarely lent his help, but despite that, he had already become world-renowned.

Those who wanted to deal with the Yuhua God Dynasty had to consider Lin Jiufeng's existence.

As for those who truly wanted to destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty—such as those demons at the Supremacy Realm yesterday…

Lin Jiufeng could still kill them with a single move.

Lin Jiufeng himself gave Emperor De infinite confidence.

But now that Lin Jiufeng was about to enter seclusion, Emperor De became silent for a moment.

Then, he cupped his fists and bowed. "This grandnephew wishes Big Grand-Uncle success!"

Lin Jiufeng chuckled and added. "This seclusion might take about 30 years!"

Emperor De's joy then turned into shock.

He thought that Lin Jiufeng's seclusion would only take about a few years—at most ten years.

But he didn't expect it to be 30 years.

"It's still the same for me…"

"I wish Grand-Uncle success in his seclusion." But Emperor De still wished him all the best.

"Will you be able to maintain the stability of the Yuhua God Dynasty without me?"

Lin Jiufeng directly asked about the crux of the matter.

The Yuhua God Dynasty's stability might seem to be all because of Emperor De's ability. But all of these were on the surface. In reality, Lin Jiufeng was the one that had suppressed the entire world and forced them to kneel before the Yuhua God Dynasty.

If Lin Jiufeng were to enter seclusion for so long, the Yuhua God Dynasty might be destroyed before he could complete his seclusion.

It was because no matter how capable Emperor De was, he was still unable to manipulate the fate of the Yuhua God Dynasty in this brand-new era.

Lin Jiufeng entering seclusion for 30 years was a life and death challenge for Emperor De.

"Big Grand-Uncle has already helped me and the Yuhua God Dynasty a lot. In the end, I still am the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty, not the Big Grand-Uncle. Thus, it's my responsibility to do my best to maintain the stability of the dynasty. Big Grand-Uncle can rest assured and enter seclusion." Emperor De took a deep breath before he replied.

It has been ten years since he ascended to the throne.

From a young and inexperienced youth, he had turned into a wise emperor.

"You didn't disgrace both Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming. You are a very responsible emperor." Lin Jiufeng praised.

"Do you see this?" Lin Jiufeng pointed at the war machine.

Emperor De looked at the three-meter tall war machine.

The war machine's face was expressionless as ever, and the muscles on his body seemed to be surging with life. His entire existence seemed to be a paradox itself, but looking at him made one feel a strange sense of oppression.

"This is the war machine that I've prepared for you. He's very powerful. Activate him, and he will be able to suppress everyone in this brand-new era for a long period of time." Lin Jiufeng explained.

Emperor De's eyes lit up.

"Thank you, Big Grand-Uncle." Emperor De directly knelt.

He was touched by Lin Jiufeng's gesture.

Even though this Big Grand-Uncle of his was going into seclusion, he still didn't forget to prepare a trump card for him.

"The war machine is still inactive, take him away. Remember, you have to learn from your father and your grandfather when it comes to treating the common people. As long as you are the emperor for a day, you must always think about the people for a day, do you understand?"

Lin Jiufeng instructed.

"I know that the world will soon be in chaos. I don't ask for anything else, I am just hoping to maintain the stability of the dynasty and ensure the safety of its people." Emperor De expressed his firm determination to Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng looked at him in satisfaction.

From Emperor Yuan to Emperor Ming and then to Emperor De…

The three emperors of the Yuhua God Dynasty have been outstanding so far.

It could be said that their existence was a blessing to the people of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

It was because they were outstanding that Lin Jiufeng had the motivation to protect the Yuhua God Dynasty.

If the one that became the Emperor was a lazy and poor emperor, Lin Jiufeng would have long ignored the affairs of the world and continued his daily routine in peace.

"Take the war machine and leave. In the next 30 years, you'll have to depend on yourself." Lin Jiufeng raised his hand and tapped.

A stream of True Qi entered Emperor De's mind.

It contained information as to how to control the war machine.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

Emperor De respectfully kowtowed to Lin Jiufeng three times before he left the Cold Palace with the war machine.

Once he was outside the Cold Palace, he closed the gates of the palace himself.

With a bang, the gates closed…

Emperor De looked at the closed gates of the Cold Palace.

Then, he took a deep breath.

"In the future, I will have to rely on myself."

Emperor De looked at the war machine.

This was his new source of confidence.

…

In the Cold Palace, the white cat appeared.

Meow!

"Are you really going into seclusion for 30 years?" The white cat asked.

"Yes. I want to thoroughly investigate the Land of Extreme Negative Energy in the next 30 years. I am also planning on fusing every technique that I have learned so far into one invincible technique that I can call my own…" Lin Jiufeng explained.

"Then, what if the Yuhua God Dynasty was destroyed in the next 30 years?"

The white cat asked.

"Then, I suppose it's the fate of the Yuhua God Dynasty…"

"I can't possibly protect the Yuhua God Dynasty forever." Lin Jiufeng let out a sigh and replied.

He had already made arrangements and even gave Emperor De a trump card.

As for what happened after that, it would depend on how Emperor De managed the dynasty.

In the next 30 years or so, Lin Jiufeng didn't plan to lend a helping hand.

Chapter 120: Emperor De's Ambition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With the matters settled, Lin Jiufeng could finally go into seclusion in peace.

The Yuhua God Dynasty did not belong to him, he had no reason to protect it for the rest of his life. The reason why he became the Yuhua God Dynasty's guardian deity was because of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

He only helped Emperor De because he was their descendant.

But protecting the Yuhua God Dynasty forever was never a part of Lin Jiufeng's ambitions.

This time, the fate of the Yuhua God Dynasty was now in the hands of Emperor De.

Lin Jiufeng closed the door of the Cold Palace and brought the white cat down to the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

"Are you really willing to let the Yuhua God Dynasty fend for itself?" The white cat was skeptical.

She couldn't believe it.

Ever since she met Lin Jiufeng, every time he made a big move or even left the Cold Palace was all for the sake of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Lin Jiufeng replied, "Didn't I leave them a trump card?"

The war machine of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect certainly was a terrifying weapon.

The white cat's soft and snow-white tail wrapped around Lin Jiufeng's neck as she intimately placed her face on Lin Jiufeng's and asked.

"What if the war machine failed?"

Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and replied with a question of his own. "Is there a need for the existence of a god dynasty that I have to constantly save?"

Over the years—whether it was Emperor Yuan, Emperor Ming, or Emperor De.

Lin Jiufeng helped them solve many of their major problems.

Those problems were brought about by the recovery of the world's spiritual energy. It was understandable that the Yuhua God Dynasty found it hard to handle them well, so it was normal for Lin Jiufeng to help them out.

Especially in Emperor Yuan's reign—Lin Jiufeng would definitely have the heart to help his own brother.

When it came to Emperor Ming, Lin Jiufeng watched him grew up…

It was understandable that Lin Jiufeng helped him too.

But Emperor De had never interacted once interacted with Lin Jiufeng in his younger years.

The only reason why Lin Jiufeng helped Emperor De was due to the fact that he was connected by blood to both Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

However, Lin Jiufeng knew that he couldn't always help Emperor De and clean up his mess.

And what if Emperor De died by accident and the succeeding emperor came to beg Lin Jiufeng for his help?

Would Lin Jiufeng still lend a hand?

Not anymore…

"The relationship between me and the Yuhua God Dynasty has always been in decline with the passing of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming. Helping Emperor De is the last. Whether the Yuhua God Dynasty lives or dies in the future will all depend on Emperor De's methods."

Lin Jiufeng said.

After all, the lifestyle that he had always wanted was to sign in peacefully and pursue the peak of the cultivation path.

"Don't worry, Emperor De is a decent emperor. He consistently studied state affairs for the past few years, and his methods have gradually become more and more innovative. With the war machine serving as his trump card, he can handle every troublesome matter out there. I won't also have to worry anymore." Lin Jiufeng said.

His words carried confidence in Emperor De.

He brought the white cat to the Land of Extreme Negative Energy—a huge underground world.

It was a very dark world with ghostly fires flickering everywhere. These fires were the souls of the former powerhouses who died in battle for the right to occupy this place.

The fires have been constantly burning for thousands of years.

These ghost flames also seemed to drift with the air currents.

They looked and felt bizarre.

The white cat leaned on Lin Jiufeng as she looked at her surroundings with a calm gaze.

With Lin Jiufeng around, she wasn't afraid.

Lin Jiufeng brought the white cat with him as he continued to venture deeper.

In the past five years, he had spent most of his time in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

He signed in before more than a thousand graves—all of which belonged to people who died in action back then. From the number of casualties, one could see how intense the war that Demon King Pingtian had mentioned to him was.

Lin Jiufeng planned to sign in at the remaining tombs in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

Then, he would also use the time in between to expand his domain.

He wanted to accumulate enough strength to climb into a higher realm.

Arriving at the next tomb in line, Lin Jiufeng stopped and chanted in his heart. "Sign in!"

[Sign-In successful. Received Light Mandara Technique!]

Lin Jiufeng was instantly overjoyed.

'I followed Princess Yulin to the plains and I received the Dark Mandara Technique as a reward for signing in at Wolf Storey Mountain…'

'But the Dark Mandara Technique was only half of the entire technique, so I was never able to experience the true power of the Mandara Cultivation Technique.

'So I put aside the Black Mandara Technique and mentally noted that I would only cultivate using it after I've obtained the other half.'

'I didn't expect to receive the Light Mandara Technique here. What a pleasant surprise.'

Lin Jiufeng happily browsed through the Light Mandara Technique.

After signing in, the various information about the cultivation technique entered Lin Jiufeng's mind.

Lin Jiufeng instantly learned it.

He then compared it with the Dark Mandara Technique.

Where there was darkness, there must be light.

Where there was light, there must be darkness.

The fusion of darkness and light was the true Mandara Cultivation Technique.

It was a supreme technique that belonged to the Essence Qi Sect.

Yin-Yang Mandara Great Domain!

Darkness and light transformed into yin and yang.

Combined, they formed the Mandara Flower. A catalyst for a domain.

It was perfect for Lin Jiufeng.

His Divine Grade Grotto-heaven was already a domain.

Lin Jiufeng had created and explored his own domain without any guidance whatsoever.

As a result, his strength improved greatly in the past five years.

But without any guidance on domains, his research had long stagnated.

With this cultivation technique, Lin Jiufeng gained confidence in cultivating his domain.

"As expected, this place is truly my blessed land. If I had gotten rid of those secular matters earlier, my domain could've already been at the perfection stage by now!" Lin Jiufeng muttered. He was overjoyed with his reward today.

There were stages in the Supremacy Realm, but they were according to levels like the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

They were divided according to the completion percentage of their very own domain.

Beginner, lesser mastery, greater mastery, and perfection.

This was how strength was divided in the Supremacy Realm.

But this classification wasn't suitable for everything.

It was only suitable for domains.

Everyone had their very own domains, some were big, some were small, some were ordinary, and some were heaven-defying.

The difference in power between different domains was huge.

One could say that everyone's domain had to go through these four stages.

But it didn't mean that one would definitely be able to defeat or even crush a greater mastery stage domain with a perfection stage domain.

This was an incorrect assumption.

What if the grade of the perfection stage domain was ordinary?

Even if it was in perfection—the maximum coverage it could have was only about a hundred inches of space. How strong could it possibly be?

Compared to someone else whose domain came from his own comprehension of heaven and earth, the cycle of life and death. How strong could that ordinary domain be? Even if the latter was at the beginner stage while the former was at the perfection stage.

The battle would most likely end in a draw.

.

Ordinary domains at the perfection stage could not possibly hold a candle against those that had high grade domains at the lesser mastery stage.

Lin Jiufeng began to comprehend the [Yin-Yang Mandara Great Domain] and he soon came to understand these principles.

Back then, he had to rely on his own intuition.

There wasn't such profound knowledge recorded in the royal library of the Yuhua God Dynasty, so he took many detours to reach his current stage.

Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng could still rectify his situation.

For this, he had to cultivate in the [Yin-Yang Mandara Great Domain] technique.

In the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, Lin Jiufeng quickly blended with the environment.

He had no intention of wasting time.

…

The imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty…

As Lin Jiufeng entered the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, Emperor De returned to the Forbidden City and sat alone in the Great Council Hall for the night.

He stayed up all night.

He constantly thought about the Yuhua God Dynasty's future.

Without Lin Jiufeng's protection—even with the war machine—he still felt uncomfortable.

'I have to make my arrangements. There's no such thing as permanent enemies, only permanent interests…'

'I should take advantage of the might that Big Grand-Uncle displayed when he killed those Supremacies. With him as my backer, I should be able to rope in many people to my side. I can rope in everyone to me—Daoist sects, Buddhist sects, the people from the Wild Lands, the tribes in the Plains, and even the members of the demonic sects and overseas factions!'

'They are all people that I can convince to side with me.'

'Together, we can stabilize the Yuhua God Dynasty.'

'Then, once I am done with that. I should make sure that the sects and the factions of the world are busy fightings against each other. If that happens, then they would not have the energy to deal with the Yuhua God Dynasty…'

'Recruiting powerhouses in private, cultivating talented youths, and building an invincible army…'

'This must be done at all costs.

'Even without Big Grand-Uncle, the Yuhua God Dynasty won't fall. I must use everything at my disposal to seek huge benefits for the Yuhua God Dynasty in this chaotic world.'

Emperor De thought about it all night and came up with a lot of ideas.

He was no longer the cultivation-obsessed young man that he was in the past.

He had become a wily old fox.

Under the earnest guidance of the court officials, he became skillful at manipulating the affairs of the world to control its overall situation.

"Big Grand-Uncle, I will prove to you that I will not be worse than Father or Grandpa Emperor…"

Emperor De's fighting spirit soared.

"The Yuhua God Dynasty will improve greatly in my hands."
