Chapter 151: Mortal Realm Walker

After killing Monk Shengyun, Lin Jiufeng looked at the treasures that the former had left behind.

Buddha's relic…

Buddha's scepter…

There were also some other treasures of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

For Lin Jiufeng, however, only the Buddha's relic and scepter were useful. He decided to take the two with him while tossing the other treasures into the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait. He let the latter devour them so that it could further bolster its recovery.

Lin Jiufeng put Buddha's relic and scepter away. After dealing with the demonic creatures, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat began to tour Jiangnan.

The beautiful scenery of Jiangnan was everywhere.

As far as the eye could see, everything was picturesque and captivating.

Lin Jiufeng brought the white cat along as he wandered through the beautiful sceneries of Jiangnan, both of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery as well as the various delicacies and specialties of Jiangnan.

He lived a rather leisurely life, living more comfortably than a god.

With Lin Jiufeng by her side, the white cat felt very comfortable throughout.

She only concerned herself with enjoying the passing day, as she stopped cultivating altogether.

She was in no hurry at all.

After all, even if she rushed. It would still take her a few days to make a breakthrough.

Moreover, Lin Jiufeng also doted on her.

With his powerful cultivation base, it wasn't a problem for him to protect a cat, right?

Lin Jiufeng ignored the commotion of the outside world and bought himself a boat. He brought the white cat along and drifted down the river, heading deep into the utopia known as Jiangnan.

But the commotion in the outside world was far greater than he had imagined.

…

After Lin Jiufeng entered Jiangnan, he took care of the demonic dens in Dalin Temple and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, and he also destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

In just one night, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, which had suppressed Jiangnan for 20-30 years and had been regarded as one of the major forces in the world by everyone, collapsed.

It sank into the West Lake and disappeared without a trace.

It was as if it had never appeared before.

Such news was shocking.

Every major force in the world was shocked speechless to hear this news.

They asked around one after another, trying to find out who exactly was it that destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

But the information that they received vastly differed from each other.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower had just been wiped out, and the news of its destruction spread like wildfire. There were all sorts of rumors, but no one knew who to listen to.

But after Lin Jiufeng toured Jiangnan with the white cat for a few days, the information about the mysterious powerhouse gradually became clearer.

The person who destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was a powerhouse from the Yuhua God Dynasty.

In an instant, many people inquired one after another.

They wanted to know the identity of that powerhouse.

But then everyone realized that the one who destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was that same mysterious powerhouse who had protected the Yuhua God Dynasty several decades ago.

Decades later, he appeared once again. Not only was he not suppressed by the endless stream of powerhouses that appeared, but he had also become even stronger.

When he appeared out in the world after being absent for so long, he destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

He destroyed a major force that everyone only had praises for.

Many people discussed the exact identity of the mysterious powerhouse.

…

Yuhua God Dynasty, Imperial Capital.

In the Forbidden City.

Emperor De soon received the news.

He had been paying close attention to the changes in Jiangnan.

He sincerely asked Lin Jiufeng to go down to Jiangnan so that the precarious situation in Jiangnan would be solved.

But Emperor De never expected that Lin Jiufeng's move would be so earth-shattering.

He directly demolished the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

It was completely destroyed.

Not even a successor was left behind.

The West Lake returned to its former state and beauty.

"I knew that Big Grand-Uncle wouldn't disappoint me."

Emperor De held the information delivered by the spies.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He was happy from the bottom of his heart that the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower had been wiped out. With this, the troubles in the Jiangnan area were finally settled once and for all.

The many people in Jiangnan would be able to continue to live and work in peace.

"Brother Emperor, did Big Grand-Uncle do it?" Princess Yulin asked in surprise.

After her safe return from captivity, she guessed that the one who saved her must be Lin Jiufeng. But she didn't have any evidence to support her claims. Now that something earth-shattering happened, Princess Yulin was convinced that Lin Jiufeng had already emerged from seclusion.

"Yes, I earnestly asked Big Grand-Uncle to go to Jiangnan to solve the problems there. It's just that I didn't expect Big Grand-Uncle to be so brave as to directly wipe out the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower," Emperor De replied happily.

In the entire hall, only Emperor De and Princess Yulin were present.

Thus, there was no need for them to hide anything when discussing this matter with each other.

Emperor De laughed loudly and spoke his mind.

"Big Grand-Uncle is indeed powerful," Princess Yulin said proudly.

Lin Jiufeng was her Big Grand-Uncle, but at the same time, he was also her master.

Her knowledge in the cultivation path came from Lin Jiufeng.

How could Princess Yulin not be proud?

"Now that the troubles in Jiangnan are no more, the world should be at peace for a while. Big Grand-Uncle is indeed the firm pillar of support for the Yuhua God Dynasty…"

"Once he makes a move, everyone in the world cannot do anything other than to stop and watch." Emperor De clapped and said in a relaxed manner.

The burden that had been weighing on him during this period of time had become lighter.

It was Lin Jiufeng who helped him bear the pressure.

Lin Jiufeng didn't make a personal appearance in the world. He only wiped out a major force in secret, but the effect was still rather excellent.

"When will Big Grand-Uncle be back?" Princess Yulin asked expectantly.

She wanted to see Lin Jiufeng. She wanted to see him and ask him for advice.

"Big Grand-Uncle might not be coming back for the time being. He said that he wants to travel the world," Emperor De replied softly.

"I see…" Princess Yulin looked disappointed.

"There's no need to be sad. As long as your cultivation base continues to rise, you will definitely be able to see Big Grand-Uncle someday." Emperor De comforted Princess Yulin.

Princess Yulin nodded and said firmly, "I will definitely work hard to improve. Whilst I was being held captive by that swordsman, I have been in the midst of comprehending a new sword path. Give me time, and I will definitely catch up to Big Grand-Uncle!"

"How are the injuries of that son of the Millennium Sword God?" Emperor De asked.

"He's much better now, but he still needs to recuperate. He has already agreed to stay in the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty to look for his father's corpse. When necessary, he will help us," Princess Yulin replied.

"That's good. With a powerful swordsman like him on our side, our Yuhua God Dynasty will have an additional source of confidence. This way, we will have another helper when facing the overbearing members of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect." Emperor Yuan stated solemnly.

"Brother Emperor, is that person from the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect still so arrogant and overbearing?" Princess Yulin asked with a frown.

"The people of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect claim that they patrol the world on behalf of the heavens and supervise it…"

"The person-in-charge in this current generation is called Daoist Priest Daoyi…"

"Their sect believes that according to the will of heaven, emperors aren't allowed to cultivate the Dao, aren't allowed to live forever, and aren't allowed to interfere with the world. The throne of the Emperor must be passed down from generation to generation, no lone emperor is allowed to sit on the throne forever." Emperor Yuan explained tirelessly.

"How nosy!" Princess Yulin said indignantly.

Making emperors stop cultivating the Dao and making emperors unable to live forever—was this something that a Daoist priest should care about?

Emperor De added. "I've already looked up some information about the previous era. I have some of their information with me."

"The major forces of the world's Dao sects are—the Quan Zhen Sect and the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect. The Quan Zhen Sect is a sect purely for cultivators only, while the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect has fused with the secular world…"

"These two sects have their own strengths and weaknesses."

"But compared to the Quan Zhen Sect that's detached from the secular world, the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect is much more troublesome to handle."

"They are involved in the affairs of the mortal realm. Every generation of disciples that have completed their training will obtain the identity of a Mortal Realm Walker. They would travel around the mortal realm and patrol the world on behalf of the heavens and supervise every emperor in the mortal realm, forbidding them from cultivating the Dao…"

"Once an emperor that has cultivated the Dao is discovered, the Mortal Realm Walker will assassinate the emperor and change the dynasty, letting the common people of the mortal realm choose another emperor for themselves."

Emperor De's looked gloomy.

This was because the Mortal Realm Walker of this generation from the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect had his eyes on him.

Emperor De cultivated the Dao, he could live for at least a few thousand years.

And this longevity was something that the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect forbade.

Hence, the Daoist Priest Daoyi wanted to come and assassinate Emperor De.

Chapter 152: King of Rogue Cultivators

Daoist Priest Daoyi wanted to assassinate Emperor De.

Fortunately, the intelligence network that Emperor De established over the years was huge and it was practically all over the world. Every day, a vast amount of information would come from all over the world.

The more important pieces of information would then be reported to Emperor De.

Among them was that a member of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect walked out from the sect's mountain and became a Mortal Realm Walker.

In the beginning, Emperor Yuan didn't take this matter seriously.

It was just a Primordial Chaos Dao Sect, that's all.

The current Yuhua God Dynasty was no longer the Yuhua God Dynasty from decades ago.

The Martial Temple and its countless branches had nurtured many powerhouses of the younger generation, and they were all starting to become people that the dynasty could rely on.

In recent years, Emperor De had also recruited many powerhouses of the older generation to further enrich the combat power of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Hence, the appearance of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect really wasn't of much importance in his eyes.

But…

"Just how powerful is this Daoist Priest Daoyi?" Princess Yulin asked curiously.

"Very powerful." Emperor De's expression looked grave.

"How powerful?" Princess Yulin was really curious.

"As soon as the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect came into being, this Daoist priest rode an ox down the mountain and walked along the Qilu Lands. When he arrived at the sea, he split the sea with one stroke of his sword and broke the fog of that overseas immortal island," Emperor De said.

"What immortal island?" Princess Yulin asked.

"The Penglai Immortal Island!" Emperor De softly replied.

"The Penglai Immortal Island where immortals live according to the legends?"

Princess Yulin asked in surprise.

"Yes!"

"But thanks to Big Grand-Uncle destroying the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower overnight—this matter paled in comparison to what Big Grand-Uncle has done. As a result, the news didn't make any waves, but to be honest…"

"It is a matter of utmost importance." Emperor De solemnly explained.

"To think that he would actually find the Penglai Immortal Island that no one has been able to find all this time. Moreover, he split the sea with a single stroke of his sword and directly found it, instead of searching for it indiscriminately. That proves that he is at least capable enough…"

Princess Yulin nodded.

"The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect… How troublesome!" Emperor Yuan frowned deeply.

"Brother Emperor, you just have to protect yourself well. This Mortal Realm Walker of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect won't have the guts to assassinate you here inside the Imperial Capital!" Princess Yulin stated.

Emperor De looked calmly at Princess Yulin.

Without saying a word…

He kept on staring at her.

Princess Yulin raised an eyebrow and looked at Emperor De suspiciously.

"Don't tell me that he's already here?"

Emperor De sighed.

"After he split the sea with one stroke of his sword, he caught a powerful rogue cultivator overseas. He sent this rogue cultivator to come and inform me that he would come to the Imperial Capital in the near future to take my head. He also said that I should choose my successor as soon as possible."

"He wouldn't dare!" Princess Yu Lin's face turned cold.

She looked valiant as she shouted coldly.

"Is the Imperial Capital of our Yuhua God Dynasty a place where he can act wantonly?" Princess Yulin added angrily.

"I will do my best in handling this problem. It's about time to mobilize the powerhouses that I have recruited over the years," Emperor De replied confidently.

The Yuhua God Dynasty covered a vast expanse of land and they also had a lot of excellent and special resources.

Emperor De himself took out many treasures to recruit powerhouses.

In the end, he had accumulated a large batch of powerful experts.

In addition, most of them were powerhouses from the previous era.

With this, Emperor Yuan remained confident that he could deal with the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

…

Following the ox-riding Daoist priest's sword that split the sea, the Penglai Immortal Island appeared in the mortal realm.

Although this news was overshadowed by Lin Jiufeng's extermination of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, some people still noticed its appearance.

It just didn't spread like wildfire.

But every top faction and major forces in the world knew that the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect had come into being.

The Mortal Realm Walker of the current generation from their sect rode an ox to the seaside.

With a stroke of his sword, he split open the sea and opened a path to the Penglai Immortal Island that remained hidden for a very long time.

Then, this Daoist Priest Daoyi defeated a rogue cultivator overseas with a strike of his sword and sent him to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty to inform Emperor De that he should establish a crown prince while he still had the time.

Moreover, he announced that he was going to kill Emperor De!

This couldn't even be considered to be an assassination anymore.

He planned on directly going to the Imperial Capital to kill the Emperor.

This matter spread along with Lin Jiufeng's extermination of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, causing a heated discussion among the powerhouse of the current and previous eras.

Many people began to pay attention to the Mortal Realm Walker of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect. At the same time, they wanted to see how the Yuhua God Dynasty would respond to their blatant threat.

The Yuhua God Dynasty was in the limelight in the Jiangnan area right now.

The dynasty had wiped out a major force.

Everyone currently had their eyes on the Yuhua God Dynasty.

In the past few decades following Lin Jiufeng's seclusion, the Yuhua God Dynasty had always kept a low profile. It didn't stand out and quietly developed to improve itself.

Just when the sects and cultivators of the world thought that the Yuhua God Dynasty wasn't as powerful as it was decades ago, Lin Jiufeng came out of seclusion.

His first move shook the world and silenced the hubbubs.

Those who originally wanted to make a move on the Yuhua God Dynasty chose to remain silent. They decided to continue their observation.

The appearance of Daoist Priest Daoyi gave them hope.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was one of the major sects of the world.

It wasn't any worse than the Quan Zhen Sect that had produced an immortal in the past.

But the Mortal Realm Walker in this generation wasn't very famous.

Even in the previous era, Daoist Priest Daoyi didn't have that much of a reputation.

Hence, when he appeared in the world and rode an ox down the mountain, he didn't cause that much of a stir.

But after he split the sea with his sword and found the Penglai Immortal Island that no one had been able to find for several generations, he became famous all of a sudden.

People began to pay attention to his movements.

They also paid attention to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

All sorts of news spread like wildfire.

[The Mortal Realm Walker of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect has reached the Shanhai Stronghold!]

[He stopped at the Shanhai Stronghold for a day. Then, he headed towards the Taihang Mountains. He is now very close to the Imperial Capital.]

[Daoist Priest Daoyi is sleeping on an ox. The green ox is walking leisurely. It will probably be more than ten days before he arrives at the Imperial Capital.]

Over the past few days, news after news had been passed around.

People gradually began to look forward to the confrontation between the two forces.

The Mortal Realm Walker seemed to be very powerful.

It made one look forward to the fight between the two titans.

The key was that no news came from the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty in the face of such a situation.

The current Emperor—Emperor De—sat steadily in the Forbidden City as if he didn't know anything.

People looked forward to Forbidden City's response.

Just as Daoist Priest Daoyi arrived at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, the Imperial Capital responded.

[The King of Rogue Cultivators from the previous era, Li Chengfeng, left the Imperial Capital and is now headed for the Taihang Mountains.]

As soon as this news came out, the entire cultivation world boiled over.

"Li Chengfeng, he is a big shot! How was he recruited by the Yuhua God Dynasty?"

"I'm also very curious. Li Chengfeng has been a lone wolf all his life. He didn't join any organization and is regarded as the King of Rogue Cultivators. Every major sect and faction couldn't do anything about him, so why would he join the Yuhua God Dynasty?"

"Li Chengfeng also wants to maintain his reputation as the King of Rogue Cultivators, but he really has no choice. The Yuhua God Dynasty has tempted him too much."

"The Yuhua God Dynasty has a lot of treasures and resources in their hands. If the Yuhua God Dynasty offered me the same as they did to Li Chengfeng, I will be willing to help them too."

"This is going to be a good show! The King of Rogue Cultivators and the Mortal Realm Walker are about to fight. I can feel it!"

…

Following Li Chengfeng's appearance, the cultivation world itself became fervent in their discussions.

Even Lin Jiufeng who was currently in a quaint peach blossom village in the Jiangnan area managed to hear about these recent events.

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat soon understood the entire thing from the very beginning.

The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng speechlessly.

Lin Jiufeng was right.

Someone was going to kill Emperor De.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the white cat's speechless expression and laughed out loud.

"Don't worry, since I said that I won't go back, I won't go back."

Chapter 153: Questioning the Motives

The matter between the Mortal Realm Walker and Emperor De stirred up a lot of commotion.

But since Lin Jiufeng had agreed to accompany the white cat on their tour of the Jiangnan area, he wouldn't give up on it halfway.

"What if Emperor De actually died?" The white cat asked.

"The subordinates that Emperor De has groomed over the years and the powerhouses that he has recruited are all over there. There's no need to worry. Didn't everyone say that the King of Rogue Cultivators from the previous era went out to stop the Mortal Realm Walker?"

Lin Jiufeng stated.

"What if?" The white cat asked.

"What if…" Lin Jiufeng thought for a while.

"There's no 'what if'. I believe in Emperor De." Lin Jiufeng smiled gently.

Counting the time, Monk Fusan should already be at the Imperial Capital.

With him around, Emperor De's safety should be guaranteed.

"We just need to pay attention to the various rumors. After so many years, Emperor De is a child no more. He is already a grown-up." Lin Jiufeng explained.

He looked at the peach blossom forest outside the peach blossom village and drank a mouthful of peach blossom brew, feeling relaxed and at ease.

Meow!

The white cat called out sweetly. She stuck out its pink tongue and licked the peach blossom brew. Her eyes immediately narrowed into crescent moons.

…

Every cultivator in the world paid close attention to this matter.

The Mortal Realm Walker of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was facing the King of Rogue Cultivators from the previous era.

The two sides were definitely on the verge of reaching their previous peaks, they couldn't be underestimated.

People also dug up the deeds of the King of Rogue Cultivators, Li Chengfeng.

He made a name for himself when he was young and was a descendant of an aristocratic family. But before he turned 15, his family was annihilated and with their properties taken away, nothing from his family remained.

He became an orphan at the age of 15 and soon became a rogue cultivator.

In times of adversity, one's character could be tempered.

The faction that exterminated Li Chengfeng's family was a major sect.

He didn't have a good impression of every sect in the cultivation world at all.

He refused to join any of the major sects and traveled through the martial world alone.

In the days to come, while improving his cultivation base, he secretly killed his enemies.

Finally, ten years later, he killed the culprit of that incident by the East Sea's shores.

But these were Li Chengfeng's life experiences, not the glory of his life.

The most glorious moment of his life was when the immortal of the Quan Zhen Sect was still in this world.

He went over to the Quan Zhen Sect to challenge that immortal.

He drew his sword against the immortal.

And after supposedly just one strike…

The immortal stopped attacking.

Li Chengfeng was injured and he stumbled away from Quan Zhen Sect.

Everyone had paid attention to their duel back then!

Not only did everyone not look down on Li Chengfeng, but they were instead shocked by him.

He drew his sword against the immortal.

The presence of his sword burned like a raging fire, alarming the immortal.

Then, the immortal struck him.

The strike was made by an immortal, but it didn't kill Li Chengfeng.

It didn't matter whether the immortal didn't manage to kill Li Chengfeng or that he was lenient and didn't want to take Li Chengfeng's life…

In any case, Li Chengfeng had fought with an immortal before and managed to survive the ordeal.

Everyone knew that he had drawn his sword against an immortal.

The title of the King of Rogue Cultivators was then given to him.

This was the story of the King of Rogue Cultivators, Li Chengfeng.

He fought and won countless times in his life, but the people of the world only remembered that he once drew his sword against an immortal and then lost.

But despite his loss, the public's opinion of him rose a lot.

Therefore, in a battle, the target's reputation was also important to bolstering one's influence.

Li Chengfeng's lifelong enemies weren't as influential as the immortal in that battle.

He had won countless times in his life, but it wasn't as significant as the one where he lost.

This was enough to prove that in the eyes of the people, Immortals were powerful, terrifying, and distinguished.

Since the people of the world found out everything about Li Chengfeng, they naturally figured out the origins of Daoist Priest Daoyi too.

As the Mortal Realm Walker of this generation from the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect, he should have received the worship of the people in the world the moment he came down from the mountain.

But the origins of Daoist Priest Daoyi were very mysterious, no one knew about him.

Everyone dug for more information.

But in the end, the only information they managed to learn was about Daoist Priest Daoyi's Master.

"In the previous era, there was a divine dynasty called Taichu."

"The emperors of the Taichu God Dynasty also liked to cultivate, but because the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was patrolling and supervising the world back then, they discovered the emperors who cultivated in the Dao…"

"No matter how powerful the Taichu God Dynasty was, they didn't allow it."

"The Daoist Priest Daoyi's Master assassinated the nine emperors of the Taichu God Dynasty in succession, causing the members of the royal family of the God Dynasty to tremble in fear. When the newly ascended emperor saw the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect, he was truly terrified from the bottom of his heart."

This information came from those people from the previous era.

To summarize, they dug up some of the Daoist Priest Daoyi's past.

Many details could be hidden in the past.

If no one didn't mention them, one would never think of them.

"I finally understand why the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect targeted the Yuhua God Dynasty the moment it came into being." Some people guessed the conflict between the Daoist Priest Daoyi and Emperor De.

There were no personal grudges between them, it was just that their ideals and principles greatly contrasted each other.

'If what you have done violates my rules, I will come and kill you. I don't care who you are.'

Daoist Priest Daoyi was being observed by many scouts from all sorts of factions and forces in the dark every day. Because they knew that he was very powerful, the scouts didn't dare to approach him. They could only watch silently and report the news quickly to their masters.

Daoist Priest Daoyi—who was being observed every day—didn't look uncomfortable at all.

Instead, he traveled leisurely, not worried about Li Chengfeng's arrival at all.

What's more, in order to let Li Chengfeng find him as soon as possible, Daoist Priest Daoyi even made the yellow ox carrying him wait for half a day without moving.

Li Chengfeng thus came.

He was a young man who carried the spring breeze and warmth of the sun with him.

"Kid, move aside." Daoist Priest Daoyi patted the back of the big yellow ox.

He had stopped in the middle of the forest, enjoying the scenery around him.

He sized up Li Chengfeng, then pursed his lips. "You're already so old, yet you're still pretending to be young. You're really something."

Li Chengfeng walked over from afar. In just a few steps, he directly arrived in front of Daoyi.

"Should I take that as you being jealous of me?" Li Chengfeng asked with a smile.

Daoist Priest Daoyi looked like a very ordinary old man with a potbellied stomach and slightly tanned skin.

"I'm jealous of you? What a joke!" Daoist Priest Daoyi shouted coldly.

"If you're not jealous of me, then move aside and stop heading for the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty," Li Chengfeng replied solemnly.

"Dream on. You can have everything in your dreams," Daoist Priest Daoyi said disdainfully.

"Are you really going to kill Emperor De of the Yuhua God Dynasty?" Li Chengfeng asked.

"Yes!" Daoist Priest Daoyi nodded.

"Why?" Li Chengfeng raised his brows.

"He is a cultivator. His cultivation base will allow him to live for a thousand years. How can there be a thousand-year-old Emperor in this world?" Daoist Priest Daoyi replied.

"As for you, the King of Rogue Cultivators, your title is so awe-inspiring and powerful, but to think that you would actually join the Yuhua God Dynasty."

"You didn't become a part of any faction nor sect in the previous era, so why did you join the Yuhua God Dynasty the moment you came into being? The contrast is so great, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Daoist Priest Daoyi questioned Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng had never been weaker than anyone in his generation.

In the previous era, regardless of the circumstances, he never joined any faction.

"You don't understand. I didn't join the Yuhua God Dynasty, I just happened to discover what you were trying to do," Li Chengfeng replied.

"Then for whom are you doing this for?" Daoist Priest Daoyi asked quizzically.

"For the bilions people of people in the world!" Li Chengfeng declared his stance.

Chapter 154: The Defeat of the King of Rogue Cultivators.

Daoist Priest Daoyi disdained Li Changfeng even more upon hearing his words.

"Every living thing in the world eventually returns to the cycle of life. The birth, death, illness, and the old age of living beings are also a kind of fate. We cultivators should follow the will of the heavens and it…"

"Since ancient times, there has never been an everlasting general or an everlasting dynasty. Mortals only live for a hundred years, so no sovereigns are allowed to cultivate to follow that will." Daoist Priest Daoyi coldly explained.

"Since the Emperor enjoys the worship of the common people, he should have the same lifespan as the common people. It has been a taboo since ancient times for the Emperor to live so long that he can be considered practically immortal." Daoist Priest Daoyi added.

His master was the previous Mortal Realm Walker of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect. In the previous era, there was also a God Dynasty that tried to escape fate and cheat the heavens.

Their emperors cultivated the Dao and surpassed the mortals.

Thus, his master assassinated nine emperors in a row, killing so many of them that the royal family of the Taichu God Dynasty no longer dared to raise one of them as the future emperor.

In the end, they chose a three-year-old child to ascend the throne.

Daoist Priest Daoyi was determined to inherit his master's legacy and establish the same rule in this era on behalf of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

Therefore, the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty must never cultivate the Dao.

Any emperor who broke this rule must die!

Li Chengfeng looked at the fat Daoist priest riding the ox and said with an unhappy expression, "Your Primordial Chaos Dao Sect has quite a few schools of thought, each of them saying that they inherited the will of the Heavenly Dao…"

"Some people live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, wholeheartedly cultivating the Dao, while some have a foothold in the secular world, freely roaming the vast seas and the highest mountains."

"Only you people of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect have inserted your hands into a dynasty of the mortal realm and have been constantly interfering in the affairs of others. You bunch of hypocritical Daoist priests want to kill the emperor, but do you know what will happen to the common people who have been living peacefully under this big tree called the Yuhua God Dynasty if you really killed the current reigning emperor?"

"That's right!"

"You guys never thought about the consequences of your actions…"

"In the eyes of you Daoist priests who cultivate the Dao, common people who only have a hundred years of life are nothing. If they die, so be it. You guys want to kill the Emperor just for yourselves!"

"Stop pretending to be so benevolent and righteous!"

"Don't keep talking about the Heavenly Dao, it's disgusting!"

Li Chengfeng stood in front of Daoist Priest Daoyi with a mocking look in his eyes.

He would never believe the Daoist Priest Daoyi words.

"The people of the world are ignorant. Even a person like you, the King of Rogue Cultivators, is like them. It seems that your comprehension of the Dao isn't that good, to think that you would be that ignorant." Daoist Priest Daoyi sneered.

"There's no need for you to comment on my understanding of the Dao. I only know one thing, and that is that in the 20 years since I came into being, I have wandered around the world and explored the world in all directions…"

"Other than the Yuhua God Dynasty, the common people in other places are living a life worse than death. The quality of their lives cannot even compare to a stray dog in the Yuhua God Dynasty. All of this is thanks to Emperor De." Li Chengfeng added.

"I'm a very direct person. I've only met Emperor De twice, but I know that I must come here to stop you," Li Chengfeng said firmly.

"You've only met him twice, yet you dared to take such a big risk to come and see me. You're really stupid and childish." Daoist Priest Daoyi shook his head mockingly.

"If you killed Emperor De, the demonic creatures and ambitious people who secretly wished for the world's downfall into chaos would all come into being. In the end, the common people will be the ones to suffer, so I came here to stop you," Li Chengfeng said.

Just as he said before, he came for the sake of the billions of people in the world.

Not for Emperor De, but for the wise ruler and the peace of the common people.

"I didn't expect that the King of Rogue Cultivators would actually have such thoughts. Ignorant and foolish, brainwashed by the secular world's concepts."

"You place a lot of importance on the mortals and the mortal dynasties, but if you stretched out the timeline, and stood by the river of time…"

"You can scoop up a handful of water and pour it out. Once you're done, a thousand years would have passed since you crouched to scoop that water out."

"After a thousand years, ten generations of the mortal beings you spoke of would have died. As for the Emperor that you spoke of, if he continues to cultivate, he'll continue to exist." Daoist Priest Daoyi gestured.

"Think about it! That is a kind of existence that can destroy the balance of the world…"

"The Emperor is an existence that enjoys everything in the world and is a supreme being that can live practically forever. Don't you think that it's a sin to allow a lone emperor to monopolize all the good stuff?" Daoist Priest Daoyi added faintly.

"What you said might make sense, but that's from your point of view. You think it makes sense, but I don't." Li Chengfeng shook his head.

Li Chengfeng remained steadfast. He wouldn't be swayed by just a few words.

"Then let me ask you. In the previous era, when the Taichu God Dynasty was still around, my master killed nine emperors in a row. Where were you when that happened?" Daoist Priest Daoyi questioned.

"The Taichu God Dynasty is different from the Yuhua God Dynasty."

Li Chengfeng shook his head.

"What's the difference?" Daoist Priest Daoyi asked coldly.

His expression was cold.

He couldn't stand seeing someone who said such words.

If he wanted to save the people, where was he in the previous era?

"The difference is that the people of the Yuhua God Dynasty could eat well and dress warmly. As long as they work hard, they will be able to provide for their elderly and their young. Furthermore, they will be able to enroll in the Martial Temple and its many branches for free."

"Emperor De is doing his best to nurture talented children. This has never happened before in the history of dynasties. It's only logical that I support the Yuhua God Dynasty and not the Taichu God Dynasty." Li Chengfeng looked directly at the Daoist Priest Daoyi.

"Those are just small favors to the common people," Daoist Priest Daoyi said in disdain.

"It doesn't matter what you say. If you want to continue heading for the Imperial Capital, you must step over my corpse!" Li Chengfeng's clothes fluttered in the wind and his hair flew in the wind.

He stood alone in front of the big green ox.

"Then, I'm afraid that you will be disappointed…"

"I only said so much to you because you and my master are from the same generation. But now, it seems that it was all in vain. What a waste of your powerful cultivation base," Daoist Priest Daoyi said coldly.

He raised his hand and formed a mudra.

Boom!

A huge mountain appeared out of thin air and directly smashed down.

Mountain Overturning Seal!

This was an offensive technique in the Dao sects.

It was very powerful.

The charm contained with it a hint of the Dao.

Then, it condensed into a huge mountain and instantly smashed down.

It was like a huge mountain that was as tall and vast as the sun, moon, and galaxy.

It smashed down fiercely.

Li Chengfeng wasn't surprised.

The image of a vast mountain range appeared behind him in response.

This was his domain, the Sea of Mountains Domain.

The Mountain Overturning Seal smashed down and was directly absorbed by the Sea of Mountains Domain. There wasn't a single ripple on its surface. Meanwhile, Li Chengfeng's body was like a willow catkin. He floated behind Daoist Priest Daoyi and raised his hand to strike.

Boom!

The ground shattered, everything collapsed.

Even a black hole was blasted out from the void as the attack was executed.

Behind Daoist Priest Daoyi, space itself collapsed.

The void itself seemingly wanted to devour him.

"My heart is like fire, my body is invincible!"

Daoist Priest Daoyi shouted coldly.

His entire body ignited.

The raging flames burned continuously, coloring half the sky in an inferno of flames.

Even the Sea of Mountains Domain was burned down.

This was Daoist Priest Daoyi's Heaven Burning Domain, and what burned inside was the True Qi of Connate Energy. The move burned Li Chengfeng's Sea of Mountains Domain, causing his expression to change drastically as he hurriedly retreated.

"Thou shalt be confined!" Daoist Priest Daoyi shouted.

He spread his fingers, and a charm containing a hint of the Dao flowed on his fingertips.

They spurted out and inserted themselves into the ground, sweeping up the earth's veins.

Rumble!

A huge array formation appeared and trapped Li Chengfeng inside.

He found himself unable to move at all.

Daoist Priest Daoyi didn't kill Li Chengfeng, but he used an even more humiliating method to deal with him.

"You are in my traps. I won't kill you for now. After I dealt with that Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty, I will show you that your so-called perseverance isn't worth mentioning in front of the Great Dao and the passage of time."

Daoist Priest Daoyi said, wanting to destroy Li Chengfeng's faith.

Not only did he want to kill someone, but he also wanted to destroy the Dao that Li Chengfeng held dear in his heart.

Li Chengfeng's Sea of Mountains Domain was injured.

He found himself unable to even muster the faintest struggle.

He was stuck in the same spot where he stood before the formation activated.

He frowned and looked at Daoist Priest Daoyi who was already on his journey to the Imperial Capital.

At this moment, Emperor De's life and death were no longer just about the common people.

It now also involved the superiority of both Daoist Priest Daoyi and Li Chengfeng's ideals.

Chapter 155: There's Still the Monk

Daoist Priest Daoyi was arrogant and domineering.

Not only did he want to kill Li Chengfeng, but he also wanted to nurture an inner demon in his heart, effectively crippling him and cutting his journey short in the cultivation world.

To do that, he wanted to break Li Chengfeng's persistence. By that time, whether or not Li Chengfeng's Dao heart would be damaged would depend on whether he was someone who had a steadfast and stable heart with immovable willpower.

The battle happened very fast. A huge mountain appeared with the flip of a palm, making the scene look extremely vast and majestic.

Especially when two domains appeared—the Sea of Mountains Domain versus the Heaven Burning Domain—the scene that unfolded was mind-numbing.

But in the end, Li Chengfeng still came out slightly inferior compared to Daoist Priest Daoyi.

The King of Rogue Cultivators was ultimately incomparable to a disciple from a prestigious orthodox sect.

Li Chengfeng knew that he had lost in terms of foundation.

The Sea of Mountains Domain might not necessarily lose to the Heaven Burning Domain, but Daoist Priest Daoyi's domain had once been tempered by a Daoist Sect expert, greatly bolstering its might.

Trapped in place, Li Chengfeng could only silently pray.

Nothing must happen to Emperor De…

Otherwise, the peaceful world would instantly collapse.

The outcome of the battle spread like wildfire.

Many scouts watched from a distance and recorded everything clearly with their magical equipment. They were shocked by the conversation between the two, and they were also shocked by the battle that unfolded afterwards.

Heaven and earth collapsed with a flip of a hand.

When their massive domains spread out, they shocked everyone.

Especially when Li Chengfeng unleashed his Sea of Mountains Domain.

It was extremely terrifying.

The Sea of Mountains suppressed everything, but the domain couldn't suppress the flames that could burn the heavens itself.

Ultimately, Daoist Priest Daoyi won.

But he didn't kill Li Chengfeng.

No one expected him to spare Li Chengfeng's life. Instead of killing the latter, he trapped him inside an array formation. Then, he leisurely rode the same ox forward in the direction of the Imperial Capital.

This time, he picked up his pace.

The green ox traveled day and night, rushing to get to the Imperial Capital.

The news quickly spread.

Emperor De's trump card—the King of Rogue Cultivators—Li Chengfeng lost.

Not only did he suffer a loss, but he was also trapped in place.

Speaking of Daoist Priest Daoyi, he was now on his way to the Imperial Capital.

He wanted to kill Emperor De.

The world was thrown into an uproar.

Everyone was shocked.

Daoist Priest Daoyi was actually that terrifying?

If even the King of Rogue Cultivators was no match for him, then who could defeat him?

Would Emperor De really die just like this?

The news immediately caused everyone to erupt.

Everyone discussed, argued, and chatted to and fro.

Many of them wore excited looks on their faces.

Everyone was shocked speechless by Daoist Priest Daoyi's display of might.

Of course, they were also looking forward to seeing if Emperor De had any other trump cards.

The Forbidden City!

Great Council Hall!

Emperor De and Princess Yulin were watching the scene captured by the scouts.

The magical equipment made from the eyeball of the Shadow Spider could capture moving images and store them for a long period of time. As long as the images were not overwritten or damaged, preserving them for eight to ten years wouldn't be a problem.

The scouts had just arrived with the images of the battle.

Emperor De and Princess Yulin watched in silence.

The two of them expressed their opinions upon hearing the debate between Daoist Priest Daoyi and Li Chengfeng. But when Daoist Priest Daoyi talked about the true reason why he was trying to assassinate Emperor De, the latter's face turned gloomy.

Princess Yulin's face also darkened.

"He is simply terrifying! Do you have a way to stop him?"

Emperor De sat on the steps in the Council Hall, not saying a word.

Princess Yulin urged. "We must stop him from coming to the Imperial Capital. If he succeeds, the reputation of our Yuhua God Dynasty will drastically fall and the world will become chaotic with our downfall."

"Do you think that I do not know that?" Emperor De sighed. "But the most powerful person I have has already failed in his mission. If I send out the others, I will only be sending them to their deaths."

Over the years, Emperor De worked hard to recruit powerhouses under his banner.

Unfortunately, Human Gods, Martial Sages, and a few of those at the Grotto-Heaven Realm were the only ones that could be tempted by treasures. Upon reaching the Supremacy Realm, ordinary treasures weren't enough to tempt these experts anymore.

Unless it was an exceptionally rare treasure, it was impossible to recruit them.

Even Emperor De didn't have a lot of those kinds of treasures in his hands.

Moreover, for some truly powerful powerhouses like the King of Rogue Cultivators, Li Chengfeng, treasures were no longer important for them.

What they cared about was the Dao—the things that could further improve their cultivation bases, not worldly possessions.

Emperor De was able to recruit Li Chengfeng because of what he had done for the common people.

It was in line with the principles that Li Chengfeng had in his heart.

As for other cultivators in the same realm as Li Chengfeng, Emperor De wasn't able to recruit any of them.

"Do you want me to get the son of the Millennium Sword God to act?"

Princess Yulin asked anxiously.

"You are being desperate. We can't make such rash decisions. That person was severely injured by Big Grand-Uncle. Even if you want him to take action, it doesn't matter since he isn't in the state to do so anyway," Emperor De replied.

"That's right, Big Grand-Uncle!" Princess Yulin exclaimed in surprise.

"Big Grand-Uncle is in Jiangnan. He just annihilated the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. There's no need for us to trouble him about this matter." Emperor De shook his head and directly rejected Princess Yulin's suggestion.

He earnestly asked Lin Jiufeng to go down to Jiangnan.

Lin Jiufeng had done so, resolving Jiangnan's chronic illness.

If he were to encounter trouble now and called his Big Grand-Uncle back, then what kind of person would he be treating his Big Grand-Uncle as?

The babysitter of the Yuhua God Dynasty?

"But this is about your safety…" Princess Yulin said worriedly.

"If this calamity truly befalls unto me, then so be it. There is no need to trouble Big Grand-Uncle. I am the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty, not him. If he has to take action every time something happens, then the Yuhua God Dynasty might as well let Big Grand-Uncle be the Emperor instead of me." Emperor De insisted.

"Brother Emperor, what solution do you have then?" Princess Yulin asked.

.

"If push comes to shove, I will forcefully manifest the Yuhua God Dynasty's Golden Dragon of Destiny. I'll hand it over to you and you'll use it to deal with that Daoist Priest Daoyi." Emperor De said these words amidst gritted teeth.

"The Golden Dragon of Destiny…" Princess Yulin said in surprise, "that's too dangerous! If we aren't careful, the Yuhua God Dynasty can be directly destroyed! If the Golden Dragon of Destiny breaks, the destiny of the Yuhua God Dynasty will also follow it to its demise!"

Manifesting the Golden Dragon of Destiny was equivalent to fighting Daoist Priest Daoyi with everything that they had.

Princess Yulin imagined…

She was holding a sword that was basically the amalgamation of the Yuhua God Dynasty's destiny. To fight a superior foe with a sword made out of something so important—would she even be able to focus on the fight?

"That's our last resort. Let's observe the situation for now."

Emperor De was also helpless in this matter.

Daoist Priest Daoyi got closer and closer to the Imperial Capital as the siblings observed. The big green ox walked day and night without stopping.

Although it couldn't walk fast, it constantly walked without any signs of exhaustion.

It was slowly but surely closing the distance between Daoist Priest Daoyi and the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

And during this period of time, Daoist Priest Daoyi's victory against Li Chengfeng had also spread throughout the world.

Jiangnan!

Once Lin Jiufeng and the white cat were done with their sightseeing, they continued on their way to look for more interesting sights. On the way, the two of them happened to overhear a passing businessman talking about this major news.

They were talking about the battle between Daoist Priest Daoyi and Li Chengfeng.

It was an intense fight, but since Daoist Priest Daoyi was more powerful—he won.

Daoist Priest Daoyi didn't kill Li Chengfeng and chose to seal him in place instead.

Then, he headed straight for the Imperial Capital.

He wanted to kill Emperor De and supervise the world afterwards.

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat followed behind them, listening quietly.

"I didn't expect that Daoist Priest Daoyi to be so powerful," Lin Jiufeng lamented.

"Aren't you worried about Emperor De's safety at all?" The white cat asked curiously.

This Daoist Priest Daoyi was about to fight his way to the Imperial Capital.

Even so, Lin Jiufeng was still not going to make a move?

"There's still the monk, isn't he? Monk Fusan should be able to fulfill what he promised to me."

Lin Jiufeng replied unhurriedly.

Chapter 156: Monk Fusan Taking Action

The world watched as Daoist Priest Daoyi continued his journey to the Imperial Capital.

Would he succeed in taking the head of Emperor De to continue the legacy of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect, or would the Yuhua God Dynasty remain steadfast under his assault and ultimately become the victor in the battle?

The answer to this question was what everyone in the world wanted to know right now.

The Yuhua God Dynasty was the number one god dynasty in the world.

It occupied a vast territory with countless people and numerous powerhouses beneath its banner. The common people in its territory were also able to live and work in peace under the reforms and laws that the dynasty made.

It was a never-seen-before god dynasty.

This was especially true when it came to the Martial Temple and its branches. They enrolled students for free, taught students for free, and imparted profound martial arts and cultivation techniques to their students so that they could nurture and display their talents.

It could be said that wherever the Yuhua God Dynasty's territory existed, the Martial Temple and its branches would follow.

What the god dynasty had done was an unprecedented achievement.

The Martial Temple and its branches had now also become the foundation of the Yuhua God Dynasty…

Every year, many students from the martial temples often became officials in the imperial court.

Of course, many of them also developed their own careers with the skill sets that they had learned in the martial temples.

But no matter where they went, they would forever remember that they were citizens of the Yuhua God Dynasty. They would also forever remember the Yuhua God Dynasty's benevolence towards them.

Now that the Yuhua God Dynasty had encountered such difficulties, the people that benefited from the god dynasty's grace anxiously paid attention to the outcome.

Many scouts and spies paid close attention to the whereabouts of Daoist Priest Daoyi every day.

Every day, he was closer to the Imperial Capital than yesterday.

But the Imperial Capital never reacted to his threat at all.

It seemed that after Li Chengfeng's defeat, the Yuhua God Dynasty no longer had any powerhouses.

This caused apprehension to the people who were concerned about the Yuhua God Dynasty.

It seemed that Daoist Priest Daoyi would succeed.

The world guessed right—Emperor De truly didn't have any powerhouses that could contend against Daoist Priest Daoyi. Technically, he still had those whom he personally nurtured, but they were still too early into their development.

Sending the people he recruited and nurtured out there to fight Daoist Priest Daoyi was tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

His only trump card was the Yuhua God Dynasty's Golden Dragon of Destiny.

The Golden Dragon of Destiny was condensed from the destiny of a god dynasty.

It had the potential to defy the heavens.

But Emperor De couldn't make up his mind.

If the Golden Dragon of Destiny was destroyed, the Yuhua God Dynasty would cease to exist.

Therefore, he was waiting for Daoist Priest Daoyi to arrive—he was waiting for that fateful fight to the death.

The people who cared about the dynasty were anxious, but neither Emperor De nor Daoist Priest Daoyi seemed worried.

One sat steadily in the Imperial Capital, looking at Daoist Priest Daoyi from afar.

The other still gave off the image of a leisurely Daoist priest riding a green ox. He advanced dozens of miles on the road every day as he continued on his way to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Seven days passed just like that.

Climbing over mountains and crossing waters, Daoist Priest Daoyi finally arrived before the gates of the Yuhua God Dynasty's Imperial Capital.

Today, there were very few people outside the imperial capital.

After such a long time, everyone came to know that Daoist Priest Daoyi was coming to take Emperor De's head.

Those who were afraid had long left the Imperial Capital, planning to seek refuge elsewhere.

Those who firmly believed that the Yuhua God Dynasty would emerge victorious remained in the capital, but they didn't dare to wander around.

The gates of the Imperial Capital were open.

But no one was guarding it.

No one entered nor left.

In the daytime, the capital was eerily quiet when it was usually bustling and packed with people to the brim.

Occasionally, someone would walk by with their heads lowered.

They would walk past in a hurry to return to their homes after finishing some work.

Daoist Priest Daoyi stopped outside the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

He hopped off the green ox; his expression remained indifferent as he pointed at the Forbidden City with his finger. "The Emperor of the mortal realm has cultivated the Dao with the intention of obtaining longevity that surpasses the common people…"

"His actions have violated the Heavenly Dao."

"Emperor! Come out here and accept your death!"

His shout reverberated throughout the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Everyone heard his shout.

Including both Emperor De and Princess Yulin who were in the Forbidden City.

Emperor De's face turned cold. Dressed in a python robe, his aura became boundless and majestic. He stood and looked at Princess Yulin, saying, "I am about to manifest the Golden Dragon of Destiny. I will hand it over to you. Go out there and fight to the death with him."

Princess Yulin nodded. Her eyes remained firm and resolved.

If she lost this gamble, the Yuhua God Dynasty would cease to exist, and she would perish along with the dynasty.

But despite the overwhelming odds, she was willing to give it a try.

"Sis… It's been hard on you," Emperor De said.

"As the princess of the Yuhua God Dynasty, I naturally have to do these things. Guarding the Yuhua God Dynasty is not only my brother's responsibility, but mine too," Princess Yulin replied with a smile.

Emperor De turned around and stretched out his hand.

The air shook and began to tremble.

Then, he slowly drew out a huge golden dragon from his body.

The Yuhua God Dynasty's Golden Dragon of Destiny.

Emperor De slowly retracted his hand.

He gnashed his teeth and stated. "This Golden Dragon of Destiny was only born in the past few decades. I established the Martial Temples and its branches to spread the knowledge of martial arts, literature, and the cultivation world to enlighten the common people. I did this so that they would forever remember their roots as the citizen of our dynasty…"

"The Yuhua God Dynasty is an entity that cannot be separated…"

"Thus, this Golden Dragon of Destiny was born."

This Golden Dragon of Destiny had just been born not too long ago.

It wasn't too powerful just yet, but Emperor De was truly pushed to a corner by today's events.

It was now or never.

Princess Yulin looked at this scene with a solemn expression on her beautiful face.

She was about to fight Daoist Priest Daoyi.

Just as the Golden Dragon of Destiny was halfway drawn, a deafening sound suddenly rang out.

The sound of Sanskrit descending made Emperor De stop what he was doing.

Amitabha!

A massive Buddhist proclamation sounded.

In the sky above the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty, an entire mountain appeared.

It was the majestic and huge Mount Meru.

The mountain itself seemed to be sacred and inviolable.

It was as if it was the residence of many Bodhisattvas and candidates-to-be Buddha.

An old monk appeared out of thin air and walked out from the Buddhist light.

Under the gaze of the many, he walked out of the gates of the imperial capital.

He arrived before Daoist Priest Daoyi.

Emperor De was surprised. "Who is that?"

Princess Yulin shook her head in confusion. "I don't know, but to be able to appear at a time like this, he must be a powerhouse that is here to help us. You should keep the Golden Dragon of Destiny first. Put it away so that it won't be damaged."

Emperor De hurriedly put away the Golden Dragon of Destiny and looked at the monk and the Daoist priest behind the gates.

It wasn't just Emperor De…

Every expert in the world paid attention to this scene.

Looking far into the distance, there were also people watching this scene through the spiritual energy tide. No one had expected that a monk would come to stop Daoist Priest Daoyi just as he arrived at the gates of the Imperial Capital.

After all, the Yuhua God Dynasty and the Buddhist sects were never on good terms.

Back then, Emperor Ming had decisively exterminated tens of thousands of Buddhist temples.

Moreover, Emperor De had just recently given the order to destroy the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower in the Jiangnan area.

These events represented the grudges between the Buddhist sects and the Yuhua God Dynasty.

But at Emperor De's most dangerous moment, an old monk stood forward.

The situation instantly became very interesting to the eyes of many.

Before the gates stood Monk Fusan carrying Mount Meru itself.

The mountain seemed to be a Buddhist kingdom in the mortal realm.

It floated and eventually rested on Monk Fusan's palm.

Monk Fusan supported Mount Meru with one hand and placed his other hand in front of his chest.

He chanted: "Amitabha!"

The current Monk Fusan looked completely different from the time that he was suppressing the demonic dens beneath the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

Back then, he looked unrecognizable as a human being. He looked more like a malicious spirit.

But after a few days of recuperation, he recovered somewhat. Now, he looked like an old monk with a charitable appearance. His back was straight and he was wearing a simple white kasaya.

Standing in front of Daoist Priest Daoyi, Monk Fusan remained calm and collected.

"How should I address you, Monk?" Daoist Priest Daoyi wasn't surprised that someone came out to stop him.

He sat on the back of the green ox and asked.

"Fusan!" Monk Fusan said gently.

Daoist Priest Daoyi raised his brows. "Monk Fusan, the eminent monk of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. I once heard my master praising you during the previous era."

Daoist Priest Daoyi recognized Monk Fusan.

Monk Fusan wasn't surprised at all.

Chapter 157: Average

Monk Fusan was a famous figure in the previous era.

He was an outstanding genius of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower's younger generation. He belonged in the same generation as Daoist Priest Daoyi's Master. In fact, both of them had personally met a few times.

"What did your master praise me for?" Fusan asked curiously.

"My master said that you are the monk with the closest realm of enlightenment to Buddha, a very pure person," Daoist Priest Daoyi replied.

"That's a pretty high evaluation…"

"Please express my gratitude to your master for me," said Monk Fusan.

"But I disagree!" Daoist Priest Daoyi retorted coldly.

Fusan looked at Daoist Priest Daoyi and asked, "Why?"

"You are just an average monk. You can't even differentiate between what is right and wrong."

Daoist Priest Daoyi looked at Monk Fusan. He didn't hold back in his words.

"How can you say so?" Monk Fusan remained calm as he asked another question.

"Was your current ability bestowed upon you by the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower?"

Daoist Priest Daoyi questioned.

"Of course…"

"I was abandoned by my family after I was born. It was my master who brought me into the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower and taught me the ways of cultivation which still benefits me till this day." Monk Fusan nodded.

"Since you know that your cultivation base was bestowed upon you by the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, let me ask you, then…"

"Who was it that destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower?"

Daoist Priest Daoyi coldly asked.

Monk Fusan immediately replied, "The Yuhua God Dynasty destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower."

"Then, on whose side are you on?" Daoist Priest Daoyi shouted sternly.

"I'm on the Yuhua God Dynasty's side!" Monk Fusan calmly replied.

One was an angry-looking man who was about to erupt.

There was a stark contrast between the two, one looked as if he was about to erupt in fury.

The other seemed to be a calm and tranquil lake that remained undisturbed for millions of years.

"Your Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was destroyed by the Yuhua God Dynasty…"

"But instead of taking revenge, you became a dog for the same dynasty that destroyed your roots? My master was wrong for saying that you are a very pure person." Daoist Priest Daoyi sneered.

He looked down on Monk Fusan.

This monk actually came to stop him and stood on the side of his supposed-to-be mortal enemy.

Monk Fusan had truly wasted the praise that his master had given to him.

The world continued to watch, curious as to why Monk Fusan wanted to help the Yuhua God Dynasty.

In the previous era, Monk Fusan was an outstanding genius.

Especially in this era, he was strong enough to become the leader of this brand-new era.

But his attitude towards the Yuhua God Dynasty was incomprehensible.

Why was he helping the Yuhua God Dynasty?

It has to be known that the Yuhua God Dynasty had just recently destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower!

The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower that existed for thousands of years was destroyed just like that.

"Patron, everything in this world has its causes and effects. The destruction of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was because it created a cause and received its effect…"

"The reason why I am here now is also that I have also planted a cause and have obtained the resulting effect." Monk Fusan explained.

"What cause? What effect? What nonsense! You are merely deceiving yourself! What matters is that instead of taking revenge, you're now standing on the side of the enemy that destroyed your Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower!" Daoist Priest Daoyi sneered.

"I can't talk with you on the same page then, Patron."

Monk Fusan shook his head, not attempting to argue with a fool.

The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was built to suppress the demonic creatures in the demonic dens. But later on, to continuously suppress those demonic creatures throughout the future generations, it developed into a powerful Buddhist sect.

In short, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was built precisely because of the demonic dens.

But with the disappearance of those demonic dens, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower had also lost its raison d'etre.

As for taking revenge?

Monk Fusan had never thought of it.

In fact, his priority was to express his sincerest display of gratitude for Lin Jiufeng's actions of annihilating the demonic creatures and destroying those demonic dens. If not for Lin Jiufeng, he would've long died alone beneath the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

But he couldn't possibly explain all of these to Daoist Priest Daoyi.

Thus, Monk Fusan decided to keep his silence.

He didn't say anything anymore.

"Monk, seeing that you are from the same generation as my master, I'll pretend that I didn't see anything. Leave." Daoist Priest Daoyi uttered coldly.

"What if I stayed?" Monk Fusan asked.

"What if you stayed?" Daoist Priest Daoyi's eyes turned cold. "If you won't leave, then don't blame me for being impolite. I won't show you any mercy. Just remember that if you lost to me, you will lose a lot of face."

Monk Fusan waved his hand and said, "Compared to your master, you're still lacking in the arrogance department."

"If it were your master, he would've attacked the Forbidden City long ago, yet here you are still talking non-stop." Monk Fusan shook his head and added.

Daoist Priest Daoyi's master was much more arrogant and narcissistic than him.

Compared to his master, Daoist Priest Daoyi was more of a chatterbox than a pursuer of justice.

Boom!

Daoist Priest Daoyi was enraged.

He tried to persuade this monk with kind words, but Monk Fusan mocked him instead.

He became angry that he directly slapped down toward Monk Fusan.

The Mountain Overturning Seal erupted once again.

It stirred and manifested its terrifying might.

The technique he used with the Mountain Overturning Seal was an offensive technique from his sect.

It was very powerful, to say the least.

A charm containing a hint of the Dao condensed and instantly smashed down.

It became akin to a huge mountain that had seemingly overshadowed the sun, moon, and the galaxy itself as it smashed down fiercely at its foe.

In the air above the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty, a huge mountain appeared out of nowhere and directly encompassed the entire capital.

With a rumbling sound, it was about to smash apart the gates of the capital.

Daoist Priest Daoyi was truly furious.

The move he displayed was exactly the same when he fought against Li Chengfeng.

But this move of his alone couldn't even win against Li Chengfeng, how could he possibly hope to defeat Monk Fusan with this?

Monk Fusan raised his hand.

The Mount Meru suspended above his palm directly erupted.

It transformed into a Buddhist Kingdom that shrouded the Mountain Overturning Seal.

Rumble!

Monk Fusan's body trembled a few times.

"Your body is very weak."

Daoist Priest Daoyi instantly saw through Monk Fusan's weakness.

The Mountain Overturning Seal didn't have any effect against Mount Meru, but when Monk Fusan endured the brunt of the attack with his body, he actually trembled a few times.

Of course, his recovery was quick.

But it became obvious that his body was inferior to Li Chengfeng.

Monk Fusan's cultivation base was much stronger than Li Chengfeng's.

He was the one who improved the fastest during the recovery of the world's spiritual energy.

Therefore, Daoist Priest Daoyi immediately guessed that Monk Fusan's physical body itself was the weakest link in the chain.

"I've recently just come out from a life and death battle." Monk Fusan directly explained.

He didn't bother hiding anything.

"So you've just emerged from a life and death battle, yet you still dared to come here and stop me?" Daoist Priest Daoyi became so angry that he started laughing.

"If it was your master, I might never appear."

"But you…"

"Someone like you whose strength is only average won't pose a problem to me!"

Monk Fusan calmly retorted.

Average!

Average!

Average!

Daoist Priest Daoyi's expression changed.

He stared at Monk Fusan and shouted, "You will pay the price for looking down on me!"

Boom!

A streak of heavenly fire descended, followed by a sea of flames.

The Heaven Burning Domain directly appeared, instantly enveloping Monk Fusan.

"I'm going to burn you to ashes. Let's see how many world-shaking Buddhist relics can be formed from your remains." Daoist Priest Daoyi shouted coldly.

He spread his five fingers, and his True Qi burst out like a waterfall.

It covered the sky and caused it to tremble.

Those that saw this move of his were astounded.

How terrifying was this Heaven Burning Domain? There was heavenly fire everywhere, and it was also a more powerful heavenly fire!

Monk Fusan, who was surrounded by flames, didn't panic nor kick up a fuss.

He remained calm throughout.

He raised Mount Meru up with his palm.

Then, he pressed down forcefully.

Rumble!

A Buddhist mountain manifested in the mortal realm.

It looked very imposing as it stood in the air.

Amidst the boundless flames, the golden body of a Buddha appeared.

Its humongous body emanated a majesty befitting to that of Buddha.

With a flip of its palm, it looked like a Buddhist swastika was pressing down.

The sight of it alone sent chills down to those that dared to look straight at it

"This feeling…" Daoist Priest Daoyi watched in shock.

"Is that the Golden Body of Buddha?" Daoist Priest Daoyi looked at Monk Fusan in disbelief.

The monk whom he thought was weak could actually condense the Golden Body of Buddha?

That was equivalent to a cultivator taking half a step into the realm of Immortals!

"As I said, if your master was the one who's here, I might never appear…"

"It's because I haven't perfected this move just yet. My understanding of it is still superficial, to say the least."

"But against you, it won't be a problem."

"Because in the eyes of the true powerhouses, you are just average!"

Monk Fusan muttered softly.

The golden body stretched out its hand and pressed down.

It gathered the millions of flames in its palm and slapped them down.

Boom!

Chapter 158: Daoist Priest Daoyi's Defeat

The Golden Body of Buddha was what most Buddhist cultivators dreamt of achieving.

It was a terrifying technique that involved condensing a golden body from a Buddhist dharma.

However, it was completely different from Lin Jiufeng's Buddha Demon Golden Body. The latter was a technique created using the Golden Body of Buddha as the foundation.

Of course, it belonged to the same category and was very powerful, but Lin Jiufeng's Buddha Demon Golden Body couldn't compare to the authentic Golden Body of Buddha.

But if someone who could execute the Buddha Demon Golden Body fought with someone that could execute the Golden Body of Buddha and they were at the same cultivation realm. The outcome of the battle would then depend on which party had a deeper comprehension of their own golden bodies.

The current Monk Fusan could be considered to have stepped on the threshold of comprehension when it came to the Golden Body of Buddha. His understanding might be limited just yet, but it couldn't be underestimated.

Although Monk Fusan's body was weak…

Although Monk Fusan's cultivation base still wasn't at its peak…

Although Monk Fusan had only escaped from his 'jail' not long ago…

He had the Golden Body of Buddha!

At this moment, the Golden Body of Buddha unleashed its ferocity and might. With a single palm, it directly broke the Heaven Burning Domain. Millions of heavenly flames gathered on its palm as a sign of defiance from the latter, but the flames were unable to harm the palm.

Then, it slapped down.

The mountains and the rivers shook, the sun and the moon drooped, and everything in the world was overshadowed by the golden giant.

Buddha seemed to have arrived in the mortal realm.

To cleanse all evil.

The mortals in the imperial capital knelt reverently and prostrated themselves in worship.

They wore excited looks on their faces.

Some Buddhist believers even quivered in excitement.

A true Buddha has appeared!

In the Forbidden City, both Emperor De and Princess Yulin were overjoyed when they saw what was happening.

"Why is this Monk Fusan helping us?" Emperor De was confused.

Although he was surprised and amazed by Monk Fusan's might, he still couldn't understand why.

Why was Monk Fusan helping them?

After all, it was the Yuhua God Dynasty that destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

Emperor De felt that Daoist Priest Daoyi's words made sense.

The Yuhua God Dynasty destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

Thus, it was considered an anomaly that Monk Fusan didn't come here to take revenge.

Emperor De didn't expect that Monk Fusan would actually stand up for him and help him resist Daoist Priest Daoyi at such a critical moment.

"This definitely has something to do with Big Grand-Uncle…" Princess Yulin guessed.

"Big Grand-Uncle…" Emperor De thought about it and bitterly smiled.

"I thought that we could become independent in this era of spiritual energy recovery and support the Yuhua God Dynasty on our own. I didn't expect that Big Grand-Uncle would still end up helping us in the end…" Emperor De replied.

"We can't help it…"

"Big Grand-Uncle is simply too powerful, while we are too weak," Princess Yulin said.

"We've got to work even harder. We must continue to strengthen ourselves and the Yuhua God Dynasty. One day, I will make sure that Big Grand-Uncle is proud of our Yuhua God Dynasty."

Emperor De declared.

Princess Yulin didn't speak.

But behind her, the vague clashing of swords could be heard.

Outside the capital, the Golden Body of Buddha displayed its might.

It stood in the air with its upper body in the clouds.

Then, it struck down with the Buddha's Palm.

It was a terrifying display of Buddha's Palm.

Daoist Priest Daoyi's expression changed drastically.

He couldn't remain as leisurely as he was earlier anymore.

"I don't believe that this golden body of yours is enough for you to defy the heavens!" Daoist Priest Daoyi let out a long roar as a green light appeared between his brows.

"Divine Soul Sword!" Daoist Priest Daoyi shouted angrily.

He drew his sword with his eyebrows sharply raised.

His greatest attack lied not within the Heaven Burning Domain, but his sword.

He had split the sea with his sword after all.

With his sword, he found the Penglai Immortal Island that generations of people had been searching for.

He has continuously nurtured his sword for thousands of years.

In his Divine Soul lied a wisp of green.

The wisp of green was a seven-foot-long thin sword.

He pulled it out from between his brows and its appearance directly caused the sky to tremble.

Daoist Priest Daoyi directly flew into the sky and slashed out with his sword.

Clang!

Green light surged.

Amidst the lights that filled the sky, a path of blood was created.

Green light and Buddhist light interweaved, occupying half the sky and they were reflected brilliantly in the eyes of everyone.

Included in the commotion were the flames of Heaven Burning,

They exploded along with the kaleidoscope of lights.

Boom!

The world trembled.

An explosion of catastrophic proportions spread for thousands of miles.

It blew up the clouds in the sky and shattered them layer by layer.

The Golden Body of Buddha disappeared.

Daoist Priest Daoyi also disappeared.

Everyone watched without blinking.

They didn't dare to relax for a moment. What was the outcome of the fight?

The powerhouses thousands of miles away also watched nervously. Who won?

If Monk Fusan lost and Emperor De died, the Yuhua God Dynasty would be in trouble.

Countless ambitious people in the world would immediately take advantage of the situation.

If Daoist Priest Daoyi lost, the world would become quiet once again.

Those ambitious people would hide under the undercurrents and continue to wait for the opportune moment to reveal themselves.

So…

Who won?

Tick!

Tick!

Tick!

Just as everyone was waiting, it started raining,

At first, two drops landed on Monk Fusan's face.

Monk Fusan reached out and wiped the rainwater away.

He muttered softly, "It's raining…"

As soon as his words fell…

Shuash!

The drizzle turned into heavy rain.

Many people were drenched, but they couldn't bear to hide from the rain.

They still wanted to see who won the fight.

Monk Fusan and the big green ox stood quietly close to the gates of the capital.

Pu!

All of a sudden, Monk Fusan spat a mouthful of blood.

He staggered and he almost fell onto the ground.

His blood flowed with the rainwater down below.

Da da da!

In the rain, Daoist Priest Daoyi walked out.

His face was pale, but his footsteps were steady.

His Daoist robe was obviously messed up, but no matter how one looked at it, his condition looked better than Monk Fusan.

Those inside the Imperial Capital couldn't help but gasp.

Their hearts turned cold.

Monk Fusan was defeated?

Such a powerful monk lost to Daoist Priest Daoyi?

What would happen to Emperor De now?

The hearts of those who were concerned about the Yuhua God Dynasty clenched.

Especially when Daoist Priest Daoyi stood before Monk Fusan in the rain.

He stretched out his hand and slowly condensed a green sword, pointing it at Monk Fusan.

"You… lost." Daoist Priest Daoyi's face turned pale, but he could still muster a fight.

Monk Fusan looked extremely weak and his body swayed unsteadily as he stood.

If the wind got a little stronger, it might be able to knock him down.

But facing Daoist Priest Daoyi's green sword, Daoist Foshan smiled slightly. "Patron, it's your loss!"

Daoist Priest Daoyi smiled in disdain. "Look at the current situation…"

"My sword is right in front of you."

Monk Fusan pressed his palms together and chanted.

"Amitabha!"

Rumble!

In the heavy rain, infinite golden light surged and transformed into the Golden Body of Buddha.

It stood three thousand feet tall, radiating a majestic air.

The scene stunned everyone.

Then, loud cheers came from the Imperial Capital.

Monk Fusan has emerged victorious.

Daoist Priest Daoyi narrowed his eyes and fell silent.

"Patron, it's your loss," Monk Fusan said softly.

Daoist Priest Daoyi slowly retreated.

He retracted his green sword and gasped weakly. "Monk, you've won. But you will definitely lose next time. I might have failed, but next time, it will be my master who'll come."

"Emperor De must die!"

Daoist Priest Daoyi turned around and left on his ox.

He was very straightforward in his actions.

A loss was a loss, after all.

Chapter 159: Lin Jiufeng Came to Visit

The battle between Monk Fusan and Daoist Priest Daoyi shocked the world.

It attracted the eyes of everyone and in the end, Monk Fusan emerged victorious.

They cheered and became filled with pride for the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Their catchphrase was once again proven to be true: 'the Yuhua God Dynasty always had benefactors protecting it. The dynasty wouldn't lose.'

Those who wanted to see Daoist Priest Daoyi's victory were disappointed.

Despite already being so powerful—Daoist Priest Daoyi—still lost.

Didn't this mean that the Yuhua God Dynasty would be able to continue its reign?

In the Forbidden City battered by the heavy rain, Emperor De heaved a sigh of relief.

"We won…"

With Monk Fusan's victory, the Yuhua God Dynasty would become even stronger than ever.

Emperor De was a shrewd man with the skills and intelligence to back him up, he could totally use this opportunity to push the Yuhua God Dynasty up to another level and further bolster its development.

Princess Yulin asked, "Why don't we take the opportunity to kill Daoist Priest Daoyi and tell those cultivators that they will suffer a tragic end if they ever offended our Yuhua God Dynasty?"

Emperor De shook his head and replied, "Daoist Priest Daoyi has the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect and a powerful master behind him. If we kill Daoist Priest Daoyi, his master will immediately come over to us for revenge…"

"I know that Monk Fusan won't be able to stop him."

Even Emperor De could see it…

Monk Fusan was indeed a powerful powerhouse, but he had reached his limit at the battle that recently concluded. It wasn't a problem for him to deal with Daoist Priest Daoyi, but he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand another grueling battle.

Emperor De also wanted to kill Daoist Priest Daoyi…

But today wasn't the opportune moment to do so.

Princess Yulin frowned and persuaded. "Even if you don't kill Daoist Priest Daoyi, his master will still come here to kill you."

"I can still buy myself a little bit of time. As long as we have more time in our hands, I should be able to think of a plan." Emperor De shook his head.

He remained calm and composed.

Killing Daoist Priest Daoyi was a good suggestion, but whether he could kill him or not was an entirely different problem.

And even if Emperor De could kill the former, the price would be too heavy for him to pay.

Thus, he might as well use the momentary respite to think of a suitable plan.

"It seems that I'm going to be busier than ever before." Emperor De looked at Monk Fusan.

Then, he started dealing with the aftermath of the fight.

Seeing that Emperor De was starting to get busy, Princess Yulin quietly took her leave.

…

Monk Fusan the city gate in the heavy rain. No one discovered where he went.

The results of this battle quickly spread throughout the world.

The prestige of the Yuhua God Dynasty rose to another level.

Those restless factions all stopped in their tracks, waiting for what would happen next.

Since Daoist Priest Daoyi failed, the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect would definitely make a move.

Daoist Priest Daoyi's move was just the beginning. The Yuhua God Dynasty would definitely face a lot of trouble in the future, so they might as well wait a little longer for the turmoil to start.

Hence, the battle was just the prelude.

Everyone in the world fervently discussed what would happen in the upcoming conflict between the Yuhua God Dynasty and the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

At this moment, every major faction in the world fell silent in harmony.

Emperor De took the opportunity to make arrangements everywhere.

He expanded the prestige of the Yuhua God Dynasty, implemented policies, and continued to expand the Martial Temples and its branches.

Wherever the sun and the moon shone, wherever the river flowed, there would be a martial temple.

This was Emperor De's ultimate goal.

Increasing the number of martial temples was equivalent to expanding the influence of the Yuhua God Dynasty. Doing this would bolster the destiny of the dynasty, and strengthen the Golden Dragon of Destiny.

After all, the Golden Dragon of Destiny was one of Emperor De's trump cards.

Far away in Jiangnan…

Lin Jiufeng—who was playing with the white cat—also heard the results of the battle.

After touring the peach blossom village, Lin Jiufeng heard a passerby on a boat talking about the outcome of the recently concluded battle. The passerby was fervently discussing the outcome with another passenger.

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat sat still as they silently listened throughout.

In the long river…

A small boat, a man, and a cat floated with the current as they took in the sights around them.

"That old monk is already so weak, yet he still managed to resist Daoist Priest Daoyi. He really can't be underestimated…" The white cat exclaimed in surprise.

"Those from the previous era with high cultivation bases this early into the world's spiritual energy recovery cannot be underestimated." Lin Jiufeng added.

"But he still can't defeat you…" The white cat chuckled and snuggled into Lin Jiufeng's arms.

Lin Jiufeng also laughed.

He didn't say anything.

Instead, he looked at the rippling river and fell into deep thought.

The white cat watched as Lin Jiufeng fell into deep contemplation.

She laid down comfortably without saying a word.

Suddenly, Lin Jiufeng asked, "Little cat, we've already toured around the Jiangnan area and saw everything that we should see. What do you think? Should I bring you out with me to see some of the famous mountains and great rivers of the world?"

The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise and said excitedly. "Sure!"

"Wait—tell me this first, what famous mountains and great rivers are we going to visit?" The white cat suddenly became vigilant.

She reached out her claws and placed them on Lin Jiufeng's chest.

"The famous mountains and great rivers in Mount Primordial Chaos!"

Lin Jiufeng replied with a smile.

The white cat had an 'as expected' look on her face as she said, "I knew it!"

"You lied when you said that you're bringing me out to see some of the famous mountains and great rivers of the world. You just want to take revenge for Emperor De…" The white cat added.

"So what? Are you going or not?" Lin Jiufeng asked with a chuckle.

"Of course, I'll go!" The white cat chortled. "I also want to see what capabilities this Primordial Chaos Dao Sect has to be so arrogant."

Lin Jiufeng stroked the white cat gently.

He looked at the river and said with a slightly cold gaze. "No matter what capabilities the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect has, they must quiet down before me. To think that actually dared to blatantly murder the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty, how audacious!"

"Oh? Do you even know where Mount Primordial Chaos is?" The white cat asked.

"Won't we know after asking around? Let's go."

Lin Jiufeng patted the boat and it instantly shot out like the wind.

…

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was located in Mount Primordial Chaos.

The mountain wasn't originally named, 'Mount Primordial Chaos'. But when the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect came into being. They directly kicked out the sect that had once occupied its summit and announced to the world that the mountain belonged to them.

They even went so far as to actually change the mountain's name into, 'Mount Primordial Chaos'.

Originally, no one knew of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

But everyone came to know about the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect when Daoist Priest Daoyi rode an ox down their mountain to come to the Yuhua God Dynasty's Imperial Capital.

With everyone's eyes focused on the Daoist priest, everyone also quickly came to know about his defeat.

When the people of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect came into being, most of them were still recovering their strength.

Outlined in their roadmap were their plans of rebuilding their sect, recruiting disciples, and then eventually, to establish the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect as one of the most reputable sects in the world.

But before they could even start recruiting disciples, Daoist Priest Daoyi suffered a defeat in the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Their original idea was to let Daoist Priest Daoyi kill Emperor De and become famous throughout the world. This way, they would have many people from all walks of life to choose from when recruiting their disciples.

But Daoist Priest Daoyi actually suffered a defeat at the hands of a monk.

"How could he fail?"

"Although Daiyi isn't that powerful, he is already one of the strongest powerhouses in this brand-new era. He's already at the Boundless Realm!"

"Our Primordial Chaos Dao Sect's first move was actually repelled by a mere monk?"

"The Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty has violated the rules of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect. It's simply unforgivable for him to live under the skies as us. When Daoist Priest Daoyi comes back, Qingfeng. You should go and assassinate that Emperor De."

On the summit of Mount Primordial Chaos, a few terrifying existences discussed in the void.

They chose Daoist Priest Daoyi's master—Daoist Priest Qingfeng—for the curtain call.

"All right. It's been a long time since I've assassinated an emperor."

Qingfeng immediately agreed.

But all of a sudden, a figure walked over from the gates of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect and muttered softly into the air.

"You lot better protect yourselves first before sending someone to assassinate the Emperor…"

"Who dares to be impudent in my Primordial Chaos Dao Sect's mountain gate?"

Qingfeng loudly shouted.

Lin Jiufeng raised his head and coldly retorted.

"Yuhua God Dynasty's Lin Jiufeng has come here to kill!"

Chapter 160: I Know The Heavens Better Than You

Lin Jiufeng raised his head and saw a summit surrounded by mountains.

The powerhouses of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect lived there.

Qingfeng was also there.

He was Daoist Priest Daoyi's master and also the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect's Mortal Realm Walker of the previous generation. In the previous era, he assassinated nine emperors of the Taichu God Dynasty and became famous as a result.

In this era, he retired and let his disciple inherit his reputation and ordered him to assassinate the emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty to make a name for the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect in the brand-new era.

But things didn't go according to plan.

Daoist Priest Daoyi's first assassination ended up in failure.

Qingfeng was in a bad mood.

He was now about to make a move himself, but someone from the Yuhua God Dynasty had come to the mountain gates of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

And that person was asking for a fight—right in front of their mountain gates!

Qingfeng laughed from extreme anger. "A small secular dynasty relied on the help of a monk to stop my disciple. Someone like you actually has the guts to come here and challenge our Primordial Chaos Dao Sect?"

"I really have to look at that secular dynasty of yours in a different light."

"But even if you wanted to die, you shouldn't look for death like this."

His voice reverberated throughout the mountains.

It was accompanied by an obvious, yet suppressed anger.

"Someone from the Yuhua God Dynasty came to our Primordial Chaos Dao Sect to look for a fight? How brazen!" An old man's dignified voice sounded.

"Qingfeng, this secular dynasty is too arrogant!"

"They must be severely punished!" Another voice reverberated.

This time, it was a feminine one. The voice sounded high and mighty.

"The Yuhua God Dynasty doesn't respect the Heavenly Dao. It's an immoral dynasty that must be destroyed!"

The final person who spoke up coldly declared the demise of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Qingfeng—who was pushed out—muttered softly. "Uncle-Masters, I understand!"

These words reverberated through the void and reverberated throughout the mountains.

Of course, they entered Lin Jiufeng's ears.

But Lin Jiufeng only smiled upon hearing them.

With a sense of pity, he strode up the mountain.

In one step, he arrived at the middle of the mountain…

In the second, he arrived at the summit.

"You lot say that we are a mere secular dynasty in the mortal realm and that we do not respect the Heavenly Dao. But have you ever looked at your very own Primordial Chaos Dao Sect?"

"Your sect is also in this mortal realm!"

"You lot aren't even at the Immortal Realm yet, but here you are spouting nonsense!"

"How laughable…"

Lin Jiufeng calmly stood at the summit.

His clothes fluttered with the wind. His eyes were cold and narrowed.

The white cat laid on Lin Jiufeng's shoulder and watched coldly without saying a word.

"You sure dress fine for a member of a secular dynasty, but you still cannot cover how uncouth you are. Since you've come here to court death, I shall fulfill your wish." Qingfeng coldly snorted. He didn't make a personal appearance, but the aura of the Dao circulated with his words, stirring up the winds and the clouds as they congregated as one.

A Yin-Yang image was formed up above—it was made out of the wind and the clouds.

All of a sudden, it rotated and started to emit a terrifying aura that threatened to kill Lin Jiufeng.

"Heavenly Dao Yin-Yang Image! Today, I shall let you, the lackey of the Yuhua God Dynasty, see how powerful the Dao is!" Qingfeng shouted confidently.

Rumble!

The Heavenly Dao Yin-Yang Image came crashing down like a millstone.

It covered everything in the area, leaving Lin Jiufeng no space to maneuver or escape.

But Lin Jiufeng didn't think of escaping.

His gaze was like lightning, looking extremely terrifying as he stared at the Heaven Dao Yin-Yang Image that Qingfeng had created.

"To be frank, you people of the previous era have already been abandoned by the world."

"In this era, I know the heavens better than you!"

Lin Jiufeng stretched his hand and pointed.

With his finger like a sword, violent sword energy directly swept forward.

Boom!

The void directly exploded.

The sword move came from Lin Jiufeng's Sword Twenty-Two!

It was the terrifying 22nd sword move.

Rumble!

Lin Jiufeng's sword energy directly poured into the Heavenly Dao Yin-Yang Image, causing a huge spiritual energy storm in the air.

Qingfeng's figure appeared.

He had a head of white hair, yet a handsome face. He also radiated a rare sense of youth.

At this moment, he stomped down on the Heavenly Dao Yin-Yang Image.

Dong dong dong!

The Yin-Yang Image of the Heavenly Dao directly became violent. The Yin-Yang Image spun frantically, wanting to destroy Lin Jiufeng's sword energy.

"You know the heavens better than me?" Qingfeng laughed coldly. He infused his terrifying True Qi into the Yin-Yang Image, greatly increasing the might of the Heaven Dao Yin-Yang Image.

In addition, an illusory small Daoist temple surrounded by mountains appeared behind Qingfeng.

Amidst the mountains, an inconspicuous Daoist temple occupied the heaven and the earth.

The statue in the Daoist temple presented Qingfeng's face.

Looking carefully at the mountains, they were all Qingfeng's faces albeit with different expressions.

Qingfeng was like the Dao, the Dao was like Qingfeng.

This was Qingfeng's domain, the Sole Dao Domain!

With his domain pressing down along with the Heavenly Dao Yin-Yang Image, their combined might was terrifying, to say the least.

Even their movement forced the sky to tremble.

He directly destroyed Lin Jiufeng's sword energy.

Ka! Ka! Ka!

An ear-piercing sound rang out.

Qingfeng's proud voice sounded.

He looked down at Lin Jiufeng, high and mighty.

"I've destroyed your sword!"

"Are you still going to say that you know the heavens better than me?"

Qingfeng questioned Lin Jiufeng. He was proud and confident that victory was now in his hands.

Rumble!

Wild winds swept and formed a tempest.

The sight of this violent turbulence was extremely terrifying. The Heavenly Dao Yin-Yang Image and Sole Dao Domain combined their might for an all-out attack.

This was a move that would take a life.

Lin Jiufeng's Sword Twenty-Two was defeated.

He was now empty-handed, seemingly having no more moves at all.

He stood where he was, his clothes fluttered in the wind.

But his expression remained calm…

He looked at the high and mighty Qingfeng and muttered coldly. "I'm very curious as to who is the one who continuously flattered and placed themselves up on a pedestal. Your actions have truly made you lot forget that you have to step on the ground first before being able to fly."

As his words fell, Lin Jiufeng took a step forward.

Boom!

Both heaven and earth quivered.

A terrifying vibration shook Mount Primordial Chaos to its core.

The whole mountain swayed as the vibrations wreaked havoc.

From the tips of Lin Jiufeng's toes, a sea spread out.

Among the mountains, a boundless sea spread out and rapidly expanded.

The sea was beautifully blue.

It quietly rippled, even without the influence of wind.

A bright moon slowly rose above the sea.

The moon rose above the sea, but it just so happened to hang behind Lin Jiufeng's head, making him look like an immortal from the Moon Palace.

The scene caused Qingfeng's pupils to shrink dramatically.

He cried out. "A phenomenon domain! Sea Rising Bright Moon!"

He could tell that it was an extremely rare phenomenon domain.

The Sea Rising Bright Moon phenomenon domain!

"He can actually comprehend a phenomenon and integrate it with his domain…"

"My Sole Dao Domain can be considered to be a very powerful domain, but even I do not have a phenomenon domain. To think that he had one …"

Qingfeng was shocked. He was jealous.

"No—"

Suddenly, Qingfeng came to his senses.

He shouted, sensing that something was amiss.

"This Sea Rising Bright Moon is a phenomenon…"

"A phenomenon integrated with a domain."

"It's terrifying—yes. But where is his domain?"

Qingfeng noticed that something was missing.

Lin Jiufeng's domain was nowhere to be seen.

No!

Or perhaps it was already present, but he wasn't capable enough to notice it.

Qingfeng turned pale with fright and hurriedly retreated.

"It's too late!"

Lin Jiufeng coldly said.

What was the point of discovering it too late into the fight?

The end has already come.

His domain had long since silently surrounded Qingfeng.

In the space around Mount Primordial Chaos, Lin Jiufeng reigned supreme.

Lin Jiufeng once again used his fingers like a sword and slashed out fiercely.

Sword Twenty-Two!

It was still the 22nd sword move from before.

It erupted and rushed into the Heavenly Dao Yin-Yang Image once again.

But the outcome this time was different.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng's sword energy directly shattered the Heavenly Dao Yin-Yang Image into pieces.

It exploded as a result of the attack.

Then, Sword Twenty-Two's momentum didn't decrease at all.

It went over to kill Qingfeng.

"You want to destroy my Heavenly Dao Yin-Yang Image and kill me in the process? Dream on!" Qingfeng shouted.

He tried his best to resist.

But Lin Jiufeng ignored him.

His eyes were cold as he raised his brows and said coldly…

"Weren't you curious about where my domain is?"

"Then, let me tell you. Everything in this world is my domain. As long as you do not sever the connection between my domain and the world, I will be invincible."

"This is my domain…"

"God's Domain!"

Pu!

The terrifying sword energy directly broke Qingfeng's defenses and pierced his glabella.

The sword energy took away a chunk of Qingfeng's life force.

"Wha—what is going on?" Qingfeng coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His face was full of disbelief.

He looked at Lin Jiufeng. A question mark seemed to appear on his forehead.

How could he lose to Lin Jiufeng?

He was a famous powerhouse in the previous era!

Although his cultivation base still wasn't at its previous peak, he was still at the Boundless Realm.

How could he lose to someone from a secular dynasty like the Yuhua God Dynasty?

Chapter 161: To Be Suppressed for 100 Years

Qingfeng's eyes widened as he looked at Lin Jiufeng.

He was using the remainder of his strength to look at Lin Jiufeng.

He wanted to know why.

As a Daoist priest, he was highly regarded. In addition, he contributed a lot in the previous era to maintain the equilibrium of the Heavenly Dao.

But despite his past feats, he actually lost to someone from the secular world.

Yes.

In Qingfeng's eyes…

He was already the guardian and the propagator of the Great Dao.

He wasn't a mortal!

He was high and mighty, the Executor on behalf of the heavens.

The world should look up to him, respect him, and worship him.

But he died in Lin Jiufeng's hands with one strike.

He had no ability to resist at all. No—it was more accurate to say that he couldn't resist at all.

Lin Jiufeng's sword had shown him a brand-new world.

A brand-new Heavenly Dao, a Heavenly Dao that Lin Jiufeng comprehended himself.

In the end, he could only agree to Lin Jiufeng's words.

"I know the heavens better than you!"

Qingfeng fell indignantly. His consciousness started to dissipate. His eyes were lifeless and his breathing stopped.

His existence was extinguished.

Death!

There were only a handful of people at the summit of Mount Primordial Chaos.

In total, there were only four people.

Three Uncle-Masters and Daoist Priest Qingfeng.

Upon witnessing Daoist Priest Qingfeng's death, the remaining three were outraged.

These three people would never have imagined that the invincible Qingfeng of the previous era would directly die in his first battle of this brand-new era.

"How dare you!" An old man raged.

His aura, which had been silent all this time, erupted similar to a boiling volcano.

Rumble!

The aura transformed into a black dragon that bared its fangs and brandished its claws.

It roared ferociously.

The sight of it alone was mind-numbing.

The aura of this Uncle-Master was stronger than Qingfeng's.

He had at least crossed five or six steps in the Boundless Realm.

He was even stronger than Lin Jiufeng.

But Lin Jiufeng wasn't afraid of him at all.

He opened his palm and True Qi erupted. A sword case appeared beside him.

Dong!

The sword case let out a dull sound. There were many swords nurtured in it, and they had become even more powerful in the past few decades.

"If you transform into a dragon, I shall slay the dragon! If you transform into a phoenix, I shall slaughter the phoenix!" Lin Jiufeng's eyes were cold.

He stood before the mountain gates of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

A domineering aura surrounded his body.

He slapped the sword case open and a sword flew out.

Demon Slaying Sword!

This was Lin Jiufeng's very first sword.

He received it after signing in at the Land of Extreme Negative Energy in the Cold Palace of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Lin Jiufeng had pulled it out once more and pointed it at the sky.

He held the sword with both hands and leaned forward.

He faced the black dragon and took a step…

A hundred feet away in the air—a sword energy descended.

It was born from Lin Jiufeng's move.

The move was none other than the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill!

Like the Demon Slaying Sword, it was the very first sword technique that Lin Jiufeng received from signing in.

Together with his first treasured sword, Lin Jiufeng executed a powerful move.

Rumble!

The black dragon which represented the amalgamation of the old man's aura was directly cut into pieces.

Waves surged in the air, tearing apart the clouds above the mountains.

But no one noticed this phenomenon.

Lin Jiufeng remained steadfast before Qingfeng's Uncle-Master.

With a sword in hand, Lin Jiufeng pointed in a direction and sneered.

"The higher-ups behind the scenes of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect, you guys may be very strong, but from the moment you guys ordered Qingfeng to attack yet didn't help him when he was killed, I knew that you guys hadn't completely escaped from your seals!"

"The powerhouses behind the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect!"

"You lot may be very strong, but from the moment you lot ordered Qingfeng to attack, you never helped him even until he died."

"I wasn't sure about it earlier, but now…"

"I am completely certain!"

"You lot haven't completely escaped from your seals just yet!"

The stronger a person was when they sealed themselves, the harder it would be for them to escape from their seals. After all, their seals would remain as strong as it was since it was created, but the creator's strength would undoubtedly be affected by the passage of time.

Daoist Priest Daoyi made his escape.

Qingfeng died.

But his three Uncle-Masters remained in place.

This only meant one thing—they were still trapped in the place where they sealed themselves many years ago. Their most powerful technique in today's time was to gather their auras into one and use it to directly smash people into pancakes.

Ordinary people would definitely be scared witless upon being exposed under such a powerful aura.

But Lin Jiufeng was different…

With a sword in hand, he destroyed the black dragon.

And then, he gave the three Uncle-Masters of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect a 'surprise'.

The 'surprise' made them gnash their teeth in hatred, but they were helpless to do anything about it.

Dong dong dong!

The void trembled.

One of them was a person with an explosive temper.

He wanted to forcefully break through the seal and come out to kill Lin Jiufeng.

Even if he had to pay a huge price to forcefully come into being, he still wanted to give it a try.

Ka ! Ka! Ka!

Cracks appeared in the air like mirrors, the void itself was about to split open.

This Uncle-Master wanted to squeeze himself out of the seal and kill Lin Jiufeng for revenge.

But would Lin Jiufeng give him that chance to do so?

"Since you lot are still there, then I shall let you stay there for longer." Lin Jiufeng coldly snorted.

He reached out and formed a seal.

Runic imprints flew out and stuck to the cracked void.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The cracked void was instantly repaired.

The Uncle-Master inside roared. "Let me out! I will cut you into pieces! How cowardly of you to not let us out! Are you afraid of us?"

Lin Jiufeng's hands moved non-stop as he constantly formed seals to repair the void.

Even though Lin Jiufeng was busy, he still responded to their taunts mockingly. "I'm different from you lot. I defeated Qingfeng openly, unlike you lot that likes to hide in the dark and stay away from everyone…"

"Since you lot like solitude that much, I shall fulfill your wishes. Don't think about coming out anytime soon."

"From today onwards, the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect shall be sealed in this mountain. You three old farts are not allowed to come out for 100 years!" Lin Jiufeng firmly declared.

As soon as his words fell, the three Uncle-Masters exploded in fury.

"100 years? It will be too late by then!"

"You want to seal us for 100 years? Don't even think about it!"

"I can seal myself for a few thousand years, but I definitely won't accept being sealed by you for 100 years!"

The three Uncle-Masters, both male and female included, instantly exploded upon hearing Lin Jiufeng's words.

They definitely couldn't accept such a thing!

Especially that they were going to be sealed by Lin Jiufeng, someone from that secular dynasty.

This was an extreme humiliation!

"Shut it! You lot can't even escape from your seals and you still want to go against me?" Lin Jiufeng coldly shouted. His aura surged to its peak as he decisively inserted the Demon Slaying Sword into the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect's mountain peak.

Rumble!

The Demon Slaying Sword became buried in the summit and it immediately mobilized every array formation imprint that Lin Jiufeng had just created. The many array formation imprints then coalesced into a single gigantic array formation that froze the surrounding void.

"No!"

"Damn it, a sealing array formation! Break it!"

"I cannot be sealed for another 100 years! The golden age of this brand-new era had just started! I cannot stay here and miss it!"

The three simply went crazy.

They struggled with all their might as they frantically stirred turbulent spatial fluctuations to disturb the equilibrium of the array formation.

But their efforts were in vain for they were unable to tear the void apart to physically disturb the formation.

With the Demon Slaying Sword serving as the foundation of the array formation that was suppressing them in the void, they were simply unable to break through the array formation.

It would probably remain true for 100 more years unless there was external interference.

The three of them tried their best to break free, but they eventually became disheartened.

They truly wanted to curse out loud at this moment.

"Scold me once and I'll add another 10 years. Insults are also welcome."

Lin Jiufeng calmly stated.

Silence!

Apart from the whistling of the wind, and the swaying of the leaves, no other noises could be heard at the summit of Mount Primordial Chaos where the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was being sealed.

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat looked at each other.

Lin Jiufeng smiled gently and retracted his domain and phenomenon.

He heaved a sigh of relief!

'I must become even stronger. I barely managed to suppress this Primordial Chaos Dao Sect…'

Lin Jiufeng thought.

He basically used 80 to 90% of his strength to kill Qingfeng and suppress the three Uncle-Masters of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

Considering the percentage, Lin Jiufeng felt that he was still too weak.

[Do you want to Sign-In at the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect?]

All of a sudden, a line of words appeared before his eyes.

Lin Jiufeng's eyes lit up.

Chapter 162: Traveling the World

Should he sign in at the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect?

He definitely had to sign in.

Lin Jiufeng agreed without hesitation.

[Sign-In successful. Received Great Dao Descending into the Mortal Realm phenomenon!]

Lin Jiufeng was surprised to find out that it was actually the same type of phenomenon as the Sea Rising Bright Moon.

It was a rare phenomenon belonging to the Daoist sects.

When activated, a manifestation of the Great Dao would descend into the mortal realm to crush the opponent.

The Great Dao Descending into the Mortal Realm was similar to the Sea Rising Bright Moon. It was a domain phenomenon that the average cultivators would never be able to comprehend in their entire lives.

But right now, Lin Jiufeng has two domains of this type in his arsenal.

"Merge with God's Domain!"

Lin Jiufeng said decisively as he absorbed the phenomenon into his body.

Rumble!

The Great Dao Descending into the Mortal Realm that he had just received from signing in was now perfectly integrated with his God's Domain. Similar to the Sea Rising Bright Moon, it manifested into a star that brightly hung in the world of God's Domain.

Whenever Lin Jiufeng wanted to, he could activate the phenomenon at any time.

But if it was unnecessary, he could simply only use God's Domain without activating the Great Dao Descending into the Mortal Realm.

When the Great Dao Descending into the Mortal Realm phenomenon fused with Lin Jiufeng's domain, the powerful energy that it brought with its manifestation directly poured into his body.

Rumble!

Lin Jiufeng immediately took a few steps across the Boundless Realm and climbed even higher.

Of course, this commotion happened within Lin Jiufeng's body.

The outside world remained as calm as a serene lake, but his body was in an uproar.

There were no signs or any strange fluctuations at all.

When he reached the seventh step of the Boundless Realm, the boiling energy in his body slowly calmed down. He reached out and hugged the white cat into his arms. He did not even look at the sealed mountain peak of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

"From today onwards, the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect will seal themselves in Mount Primordial Chaos for 100 years!"

"If this rule is violated at any length of stay other than an entire 100 years, the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect shall be annihilated!" Lin Jiufeng turned around and left. He did not stop to look at anything at all. He only left a sentence behind him.

The three Uncle-Masters of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect struggled with all their might.

They were furious and indignant.

But in the end, their struggles turned into helpless sighs.

They couldn't defeat Lin Jiufeng.

Daoist Qingfeng died in his hands.

Considering this—Daoist Priest Daoyi—who was about to return from his expedition outside, was even less of a match for him.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect could only seal themselves in Mount Primordial Chaos.

No one knew about the terrifying battle that had recently concluded in Mount Primordial Chaos.

The commotion that it caused above the clouds didn't spread throughout the world.

Mount Primordial Chaos remained seemingly untouched.

But if one looked closely, one would find an additional sword inserted into the summit of Mount Primordial Chaos. The sword looked lonely, but it was powerful enough to suppress the higher-ups of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

When Daoist Priest Daoyi returned, what greeted him was a corpse and the suppressed Primordial Chao Dao Sect. Daoist Priest Daoyi looked at the Demon Slaying Sword inserted at the very summit of Mount Primordial Chaos.

He felt powerless by simply looking at it.

He could only indignantly announce to the world that the entire Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was going to seal themselves for 100 years.

…

Just as everyone in the world was looking forward to Daoist Priest Daoyi's return to his sect and what the higher-ups of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect would do in response to the Yuhua God Dynasty's blatant act of provocation…

A piece of news spread throughout the world.

Its contents thoroughly dumbfounded the people of the world.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was going to seal themselves for 100 years?

When the news spread, the entire world was thrown into an uproar.

Then, confusion followed suit.

What was going on?

Daoist Priest Daoyi only failed to assassinate Emperor De because a powerhouse protected the Yuhua God Dynasty. Everyone acknowledged Monk Fusan's might and felt that facing Monk Fusan shouldn't be a problem that Daoist Priest Daoyi must handle.

Moreover, Monk Fusan was currently in a weakened state.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that he was seriously injured.

He barely managed to defeat Daoist Priest Daoyi.

Thus, it would be impossible for him to deal with the other powerhouses of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect!

But despite all of these, the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect didn't seek revenge.

Instead, they sealed themselves and endured the shame.

What exactly happened to the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect?

At this moment, countless powerhouses from the various large factions and major forces tried to contact the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

They wanted to ask why they chose to seal themselves despite their glaring advantage against the Yuhua God Dynasty.

But the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect never answered.

They had truly sealed themselves within the confines of Mount Primordial Chaos. They had no intention of making contact with the outside world at all.

The many disciples of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect didn't leave Mount Primordial Chaos either.

Everyone in the world started discussing the rationale behind the bizarre actions of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

There were all sorts of guesses, including the Yuhua God Dynasty sending an even more powerful powerhouse to suppress the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

Some people started spreading this rumor, but not many people believed it.

Because they felt that no one in the Yuhua God Dynasty could continuously suppress the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect for 100 years.

When Emperor De received the news, he was also confused.

He quickly called Princess Yulin over and discussed the matter with her.

After Princess Yulin heard of the news, both siblings stared at each other.

She was also baffled.

"Why did they seal themselves?" Princess Yulin asked quizzically.

"Are they scared of our Yuhua God Dynasty?" Princess Yulin guessed.

"That's impossible. If they were truly afraid of our Yuhua God Dynasty, they wouldn't have sent Daoyi to come here assassinate me with such great fanfare in the first place."

Emperor De shook his head.

It also wasn't the first time that the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect assassinated emperors who cultivated the Dao. If their policy was to seal themselves after every assassination attempt, they would have also done it in the previous era.

"Then why?" Princess Yulin asked.

Emperor De's gaze sharpened as he made a guess. "Maybe…"

"Maybe because Big Grand-Uncle visited the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect?"

Princess Yulin's eyes lit up. "That's possible…"

"You also think that it's possible, right?" Emperor De was excited.

"Well, this theory makes more sense than the wild guesses of the many people in the world out there. Also, if we consider the advantage that the other party has over us, only a truly terrifying existence can force them to seal themselves…"

"Other than this, I can't think of any other reason why they would do such a thing."

Princess Yulin analyzed.

"Since we both think the same, I should probably continue to expand the Yuhua God Dynasty's influence and power. This time, I'll do it on an even larger scale than before. I'll also do my best to nurture our Yuhua God Dynasty's Golden Dragon of Destiny…"

"After all, we can't just continuously rely on Big Grand-Uncle's help."

Emperor De solemnly responded.

Princess Yulin agreed with Emperor De's decision.

The Yuhua God Dynasty could treat Big Grand-Uncle as their trump card, but they couldn't rely on him all the time.

It would be best if they didn't have to use this trump card for the rest of their lives.

"During this period of time, every major force and faction in the world have become restless, including some of those underground factions that are constantly harassing our people…"

"Leave them to me, I will handle them well." Princess Yulin proposed.

"Yup, you go and handle it then. Also, I want you to pay more attention to the Daoist and Demon Sects. They seem to be about to erupt into a fight against each other," Emperor De said.

"Are they fighting?" Princess Yulin looked at Emperor De in surprise.

"Well, they've always been fighting since time immemorial. There have been a few skirmishes between them recently. If it wasn't for the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect taking away the limelight from them, everyone would have known about their skirmishes by now…"

"You should pay more attention to them." Emperor De reminded Princess Yulin.

Princess Yulin was now slowly taking over the private affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty. In other words, she was about to take over the Dark Net established by Emperor De and become the underground queen of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

"I understand," Princess Yulin said solemnly.

…

After leaving Mount Primordial Chaos, Lin Jiufeng bought a carriage and rode it with the white cat towards the Northern Regions.

Wandering throughout the mortal realm…

Traveling the world…

He wanted to take a look at the great rivers and famous mountains of this world.

He wanted to see if he could use them to sign in.

Whenever they passed through cities, what they saw and heard were all discussions about the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect's decision to seal themselves for 100 years.

The white cat in Lin Jiufeng's arms revealed a naughty smile.

"They still have no idea that you are the one who suppressed the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect."

Lin Jiufeng replied in a relaxed manner. "It's better that they don't know. It saves us a lot of trouble. We can go and take a look at the scenery all over the world in peace."

After having resolved the crisis of the Yuhua God Dynasty, Lin Jiufeng was about to fulfill his promise of traveling the world.

Emperor De begged him to visit Jiangnan.

Jiangnan was now peaceful.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect tried to assassinate Emperor De and disrupt the world.

Lin Jiufeng had no other choice but to suppress the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect as a result.

The world had become quiet.

Everyone focused on familiarizing themselves with this brand-new era under the recovery of the world's spiritual energy.

With this considered, Lin Jiufeng could now travel the world in peace.

Chapter 163: A Reunion With Dachun

The Xuanhuang Great World was currently like a calm lake.

The Yuhua God Dynasty was naturally on the surface of this lake.

It ruled over more than half of the world in an upright manner.

But beneath the peaceful lake was a fierce undercurrent.

Many large fishes and prawns swam freely.

Many poisonous pythons and flood dragons were also hidden, silently cultivating to further improve their strength.

Nowadays, the world was relatively peaceful.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect sealed themselves, albeit no one knew why.

The people of the world, however, made a few wild guesses before they focused their attention on the Yuhua God Dynasty.

It was understandable that they would suspect that the Yuhua God Dynasty was the reason why the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect did such a move. After all, Daoist Priest Daoyi targeted the Yuhua God Dynasty before the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect chose to seal themselves.

No one in the world would believe that the Yuhua God Dynasty wasn't involved in this matter.

Once the threat of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect disappeared, the Yuhua God Dynasty began to heavily invest in their development. They did not shy away from the public as numerous reforms, laws, and public sectors were established.

Emperor De also became bolder.

He was certain that Lin Jiufeng secretly made a move against the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

As a result, he sent his subordinates to the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect to pay respects and ask for the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect's secret manuals and cultivation techniques.

They would be donated to the Martial Temple and its branches for the betterment of the world.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was dumbfounded by Emperor De's move.

They thought that this was Lin Jiufeng's true intention when he paid them a visit that day.

Furious, they gnashed their teeth and were unwilling to accept Emperor De's request.

But in the end, Daoist Priest Daoyi still gnashed his teeth and handed over what Emperor De wanted. Just like that, Emperor De managed to once again bolster the influence and power of the Martial Temple and its branches.

Along with it, the Yuhua God Dynasty's prestige was also enhanced in one move.

When Lin Jiufeng came to know about what happened, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He said to the white cat.

"The phrase 'once bitten, twice shy' truly represents the state of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect today."

"It's because you are too strong…"

"Why would they even bother with Emperor De's men if not for your deterrence?"

The white cat replied.

Lin Jiufeng continued on his journey with the white cat.

He went from the Jiangnan area to the Mobei area in the middle of the night.

Mount Primordial Chaos was within Jiangnan, but it wasn't close to Jiangnan Road.

Thus, Lin Jiufeng had to spend a night traveling from Jiangnan to Mobei.

From here, Lin Jiufeng headed for the Northern Regions.

"Our tour of Jiangnan is complete now that we've witnessed what Jiangnan has to offer. We've enjoyed Jiangnan's misty rains and enjoyed the company of its talented, beautiful, and hospitable people…"

"Now, I'll bring you to Mobei so we can see the men of the north. The scenery in the north is completely different from the misty Jiangnan." Lin Jiufeng added.

"As long as I'm with you, anywhere is fine." The white cat didn't mind.

She just liked to roam around with Lin Jiufeng.

If she was asked to travel alone, she wouldn't be interested.

Taking advantage of the night, Lin Jiufeng planned to spend his final night in Jiangnan.

Tomorrow, he would not be in Jiangnan anymore.

Lin Jiufeng didn't use his cultivation base to travel.

Instead—like an ordinary person—he let the horse-drawn carriage do the work for him.

When the horse was tired, he would then stop to take a look at the scenery around him.

He wasn't in a hurry anyway.

Of course, the white cat felt the same.

Lin Jiufeng thought that he would be traveling all night.

But he suddenly saw a familiar figure beneath the moonlight.

A plump figure stood by the lake with his hands behind his back.

Lin Jiufeng shouted in surprise. "Dachun?!"

The plump figure was none other than Lin Jiufeng's one and only friend—Dachun.

Back then, when Lin Jiufeng was still in the Cold Palace, Dachun insisted on delivering food to him.

He was the helper who accompanied him throughout those lonely days.

Hence, Lin Jiufeng had always regarded Dachun as his friend.

His one and only friend in this world!

Dachun bade farewell to Lin Jiufeng in the Imperial Capital decades ago.

He returned to his hometown in Jiangnan to accompany his old mother.

Soon afterwards, he became the commander of Jiangnan Road.

But when his mother fell ill, he resigned from his post and focused on being with her.

This time, Lin Jiufeng didn't come across Dachun in his visit to Jiangnan.

When he accompanied the white cat to roam around and play, he also looked for Dachun, but he found no news of him whatsoever.

He only heard that Dachun's old mother had passed away.

Then, Dachun disappeared with her corpse.

Lin Jiufeng thought that it would be very difficult for him to see Dachun again and that the fact that he didn't manage to find him would become his deepest regret.

But he didn't expect that on his final night in Jiangnan, he would stumble upon Dachun at a lake at the base of a random mountain.

Lin Jiufeng had never forgotten Dachun's plump figure.

And he would never mistake it for someone else.

He exclaimed in joy and stopped the carriage.

Dachun—who was enjoying the night scenery by the lake—turned around in surprise.

When he saw Lin Jiufeng, his eyes lit up. He shouted excitedly. "Your Royal Highness—"

Meow ~

The white cat called out.

She was also very happy to see Dachun, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Lin Jiufeng parked the carriage and let the horse eat the grass at the side.

He then brought the white cat close to the lake and met up with Dachun.

"We haven't seen each other in decades…" Lin Jiufeng lamented.

"Yes—Dachun greets Your Royal Highness!" Dachun laughed and went on his knees.

"Get up! What's there to kneel before a dethroned crown prince?"

Lin Jiufeng reached out and helped Dachun up.

"Your Royal Highness's words are wrong…"

"The people of the world may not know about it, but how could I not know about the truth?"

Dachun added. "To be honest, I wasn't sure that Your Royal Highness was behind the destruction of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, but now that I've seen Your Royal Highness here, I'm certain that it was your doing."

Lin Jiufeng smiled. But he didn't explain.

Dachun was one of the few people who knew that Lin Jiufeng was a very powerful existence.

After all, he had personally seen with both of his eyes how Lin Jiufeng made a move in that battle above the Forbidden City before.

"Your Royal Highness…"

"The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect that kicked up such a huge commotion a few days ago. You're also the one that dealt with them, am I right?" Dachun asked.

Lin Jiufeng asked, "Why do you say so?"

Dachun looked at Lin Jiufeng in admiration: "In the entire Yuhua God Dynasty, and even in the entire world, the only person who can do such a thing is none other than Your Royal Highness…"

When Lin Jiufeng was first imprisoned within the confines of the Cold Palace, he had become nothing but an ordinary young man.

At that time, Dachun was only in his teenage years—he was even younger than Lin Jiufeng.

Today, Dachun was now almost 100 years old. He had seen a lot—experienced a lot.

His horizons have long been broadened.

It was only when he looked back from where he came from that he realized that the might of the Crown Prince in the Cold Palace was as boundless as the ocean.

"Dachun, it has been decades since we've seen each other. You've really gone through a lot. To think that you even know how to flatter someone now." Lin Jiufeng replied with a smile.

He didn't refute Dachun's words.

But it was also a form of indirect admission.

Dachun chuckled.

A simple-minded expression appeared on his plump face.

The 100-year-old Human God still looked the same as he was when he first met Lin Jiufeng 90 years ago.

But of course, even a Human God couldn't escape the clutches of time.

It might be subtle, but traces of the passage of time could be seen on Dachun's figure.

"It has truly been so long since we've last seen each other, Your Royal Highness…"

"This Dachun has become older, but Your Royal Highness still looks the same as you are back then. Your appearance really hasn't been affected by time." Dachun lamented.

Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat and looked at the obviously aged Dachun.

He was now at the Human God Realm.

The way he carried himself and his mentality had long been changed by the passage of time.

The current Dachun was not only physically old but also mentally old.

"Did your mother pass away?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Yes…"

"She was at peace when she left. She was surrounded by her children and grandchildren…"

"With the help of this recovery of spiritual energy, she managed to live for more than a hundred years…"

"She could be considered to have died of old age."

"I brought her corpse back to our hometown when I was young and I buried her in the happiest place according to her memories…"

"I disappeared because I guarded her tomb for three years." Dachun explained.

"That's nice…"

"To be able to leave this world in peace is nice."

"We can say that she had thoroughly lived her life in this mortal realm to her satisfaction…"

"Life, death, illness, and old age are daily occurrences in this mortal world."

Lin Jiufeng patted Dachun's shoulder.

"Yes. It's been three years, so I don't feel too sad about her departure anymore…"

"I feel nostalgic about her passing instead."

"Your Royal Highness, may I invite you to my humble abode for a drink? I haven't delivered food to Your Royal Highness for many years…"

"To be honest, I really missed those peaceful days." Dachun invited Lin Jiufeng.

Chapter 164: Dachun's Revelation

Lin Jiufeng followed Dachun to his residence.

At the foot of a green mountain, by the lake, in a courtyard.

Only Dachun, his wife, and their young grandson lived here.

Upon Lin Jiufeng's arrival, Dachun's wife immediately went to prepare the food and wine. The child looked at Lin Jiufeng with a confused look. He then started talking gibberish.

Lin Jiufeng put the white cat down. The child was immediately attracted by the beautiful and flawless white cat. He chased after the white cat as his giggles filled the quaint abode.

Dachun looked at him lovingly before inviting Lin Jiufeng into the house.

"Only the three of you live here?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Yes, I stayed here to guard my mother's tomb. My wife accompanied me here and she's also taking care of my pitiful grandson," Dachun replied.

"Pitiful?" Lin Jiufeng looked at the child playing with the white cat.

He couldn't help but be asked curiously.

"His parents died on Jiangnan Road for the dynasty. He was just born when they were swallowed by the demonic creatures that appeared from out of nowhere. When I found them, it was already too late. I could only save the child." Dachun sighed.

Lin Jiufeng looked at Dachun, ripples appeared in his heart.

First, his old mother passed away.

Then, his children died…

It was no wonder that Dachun's looked so dispirited both physically and mentally.

"I've already dealt with those demonic creatures. The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower has collapsed, and every demonic creature in Jiangnan is dead." Lin Jiufeng could only say these words as a form of consolation.

Dachun's eyes turned slightly red as he said, "Your Royal Highness is the guardian deity of the Yuhua God Dynasty and the people of the world! Although the people do not know of Your Royal Highness's heroic deeds, they have all received Your Royal Highness's grace…"

Lin Jiufeng waved his hand in dismissal.

"I'm also a member of the Yuhua God Dynasty's royal family…"

"When I was young, I enjoyed glory and wealth that others would never be able to enjoy in their entire lives. It's only natural that I protect the people of this land now that I am capable enough to do so…"

"But it truly is a pity that the sword energy that I left in your body didn't save the child's parents."

It was only then that Dachun knew that Lin Jiufeng had left a streak of sword energy in him.

Of course, Dachun immediately knew that the streak of sword energy was there to protect him.

It has been 30 years, but he actually didn't notice its presence at all.

"Your Royal Highness—" Dachun was so touched that he didn't know what to say.

Lin Jiufeng chuckled and said, "Let's drink a lot tonight…"

Dachun nodded and said, "I've been constantly thinking about when I can drink with Your Royal Highness once again. Now that you are here to drink with me personally, I don't have any more regrets left in this life of mine."

"You are a Human God expert, you can live for a long time," Lin Jiufeng said.

"The world is changing rapidly, Your Royal Highness…"

"What I've seen so far has already changed my outlook in life."

"I don't want to become famous, nor do I want to become a powerful cultivator. I only want to spend the rest of my life in peace with my wife and also raise that kid…"

"I have no other wishes," Dachun said.

Lin Jiufeng looked at Dachun.

Dachun was younger than him, and both of them walked on different paths.

Lin Jiufeng pursued the peak of cultivation.

But he had always been at the peak and had always desired even greater heights.

Dachun walked on the path of the common people.

He married and had descendants. After experiencing the ups and downs of life, although he also had the cultivation base of a Human God and can still live for a thousand years, his mentality had long changed. He no longer had the vigor of his youth.

He had become an old man.

While Lin Jiufeng was still a young man.

"The sword energy that I left in you that day will continue to exist. The stronger I become, that sword energy will also become stronger. Therefore, I shall continue to leave it with you. Treat it as your family's trump card. It might be useful in the future," Lin Jiufeng said to Dachun.

Lin Jiufeng had put a lot of thought into that sword energy that he gave to Dachun. The reason why it remained in existence even after 30 years was that Lin Jiufeng has always remained powerful and was also constantly becoming stronger.

The sword energy would also become increasingly powerful as Lin Jiufeng became stronger.

And the might of that streak of sword energy was equivalent to Lin Jiufeng's fully-powered strike.

As long as it wasn't removed or activated, Dachun would always have it as his trump card.

"Your Royal Highness, let's drink…" Dachun looked at Lin Jiufeng gratefully.

Coincidentally, his wife was finally done preparing the food and wine.

She brought them out and presented them to the two.

Lin Jiufeng nodded at Dachun's wife.

She was a very gentle woman.

She was also in her seventies, but she looked to be only 40 years old—beautiful, and kind.

After pouring wine for both Lin Jiufeng and Dachun, she retreated to the side to take care of her grandson.

"You gave her a lot of spiritual medicines?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Yes, I gave her a lot of those…"

"Back then, I gathered a lot of spiritual medicines because I originally wanted to treat my mother's body…"

"But the cycle of life, death, illness, and reincarnation isn't something that I can change. She's already at the end of her life and those spiritual medicines couldn't possibly save her anymore."

"Thus, I gave all of them to my wife for her to consume." Dachun drank a cup of wine.

"I've lost my old mother, my youngest son, and my daughter-in-law!"

"I won't be able to endure it if I also lost my wife!"'

"I promised her that as long as I live—I will support her—and we shall support each other till death do us part," Dachun said.

Lin Jiufeng drank his wine and said softly, "Why don't you just let her cultivate?"

"In this brand-new era, although she might not become a powerful powerhouse, you can at least help her make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm…"

"If you do that then she can continue to stay by your side."

"I'm working hard on that too, but she's already in her seventies. It's difficult for her to cultivate now that she's past her prime age…" Dachun shook his head.

This brand-new era was bound to be a great era.

But not everything could be resolved just because the world was slowly recovering its spiritual energy.

Both Lin Jiufeng and Dachun enjoyed each other's company as they drank and talked about all sorts of topics.

Of course, what they mostly talked about were just family matters and other trivial matters.

Just like before…

Dachun would talk while Lin Jiufeng listened.

The scene was just like back in the Cold Palace…

Dachun told Lin Jiufeng many trivial matters, letting Lin Jiufeng feel that he was still a member of the mortal realm.

It seemed as if nothing had changed.

Dachun and Lin Jiufeng talked about trivial matters.

If it was in the past, Lin Jiufeng wouldn't even listen to such things, nor would he be bothered by them.

This was because the gap between Lin Jiufeng and those trivial matters was huge.

But because it was Dachun who was talking, Lin Jiufeng obediently listened.

Lin Jiufeng cultivated in seclusion all this time.

Those he came into contact with were all sorts of powerhouses, all of whom were high and mighty. They weren't humble at all.

It has been a long time since Lin Jiufeng felt and heard of the struggles in the mortal world.

But today, Dachun made Lin Jiufeng realize that the world did not only belong to cultivators.

In addition, one would still have to return to the mortal realm after their long seclusion.

Lin Jiufeng relished what he heard and felt.

"Your Royal Highness. According to what we have always done in the past, I should tell you some big things after I'm done with these trivial matters." Dachun's cheeks were red as he said with a smile.

"I'm listening." Lin Jiufeng gulped down the wine in his cup.

"Although I am practically living in seclusion here, I still know a little about the outside world."

"We are at the edge of Jiangnan's borders, close to the Central Plains. Since I'm this close to the borders, I've heard a lot of news. But the biggest thing I've heard is about the internal strife between the various Dao sects," Dachun said.

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows and looked at Dachun.

Internal strife in the Dao Sects?

"I'm not sure about the specifics. After all, Dao sects are divided into many categories. For example, the Quan Zhen Sect and the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect. They could be considered a member of the Dao sects, but they technically belong in two different categories."

"The Quan Zhen Sect is of the same lineage as the traditional Dao sects like Mount Longhu, the Five-Rice Sect, and the Zenith Heaven Path Sect…"

"Their ancestors are all cultivators of the Dao sects. In other words, they are all senior brothers, martial uncles, or even martial nephews."

"As for the Dao sects like the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect, their founders were rogue cultivators with incomprehensibly high cultivation bases…"

"They are the complete opposite of these traditional Daoist sects."

"The so-called 'internal strife' is the result of the grudges between these traditional Daoist sects." Dachun explained.

"I see…" Lin Jiufeng finally understood.

Chapter 165: Internal Strife in the Dao Sects

After Dachun explained the history of the Dao sects to Lin Jiufeng, he finally understood what was going on.

Why was it that when the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect assassinated Emperor De and caused such a huge commotion with their great fanfare—the other Dao sects remained indifferent and ignored them?

It turned out that there was a detailed division among the Dao sects.

It was simply beyond Lin Jiufeng's expectations.

"Then what exactly is the reason behind the internal strife of the Dao sects that you've mentioned?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

"There are a few rumors about it…."

"Some say that the treasures left behind by the ancestors of the Dao sects have been unearthed, and the various members of the Dao sects are unable to divide the spoils evenly…"

"There are also those who say that the supreme Daoist Scripture of the Dao sects has appeared, causing a few of them to compete for it, resulting in the current internal strife…"

"But others also say that it was because someone wanted to form a single major faction made out of every member of the Dao sects, causing the other sects to fight against such a decision, resulting in the internal strife…"

Dachun told Lin Jiufeng the versions that he heard himself.

On normal days, Dachun was like the old men in villages.

He strolled around and listened to the gossip of others.

He didn't expose his cultivation base as a Human God expert.

Using his disguise, he heard a lot from people in various walks of life.

These three versions were the ones that were most likely to be true and the most prevalent.

Lin Jiufeng replied, "This is an internal matter of the Dao sects. As long as they don't kick up a fuss and don't harm the common people, then no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with the Yuhua God Dynasty."

"That's right! That is what I thought at first, but recently, there seems to be a real fight going on in these Dao sects. Powerhouses from all walks of life have appeared. Many Daoist Perfected Ones that I've never even heard of also emerged from out of nowhere…"

"These people are all very powerful. They can even split mountains and boil seas. Once they truly got into a serious fight with each other, the victims would still be the common people."

Dachun explained.

Lin Jiufeng frowned. This was indeed a possibility.

"But such a situation hasn't happened yet, so there's no need to worry. I still believe that since they have achieved success in their cultivation, they probably won't kill the innocent." Lin Jiufeng raised his wine cup.

Dachun also raised his wine cup. "I only hope so. In this turbulent world, no matter who wins or loses, the common people will be the ones to suffer."

Lin Jiufeng nodded.

This confirmed the saying: 'When a nation prospers, the people suffer. When a nation is dying, the people suffer.'

For this meal, Dachun talked about trivial matters to life insights and then to the safety of the common people.

They talked as they drank.

After a few hours, Dachun was finally drunk.

Both Lin Jiufeng and Dachun didn't use their True Qi to dispel the alcohol.

They only relied on their bodies.

Dachun was still not as good as Lin Jiufeng in drinking.

In addition, he got carried away by the atmosphere and drank a lot.

Thus, he directly collapsed—drunk.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the drunken Dachun and then at the moonlight shining into the window.

The bright moon hung high in the sky.

It was already deep in the night.

A cold breeze blew, causing ripples in the lake.

Lin Jiufeng could see it even though he was far away.

Dachun's wife had already brought her grandson to sleep.

She didn't pay attention to what was happening between Dachun and Lin Jiufeng.

The white cat laid in the living room and cultivated silently.

Lin Jiufeng looked around and drank the remaining wine in the cup.

Then, he put down the cup and helped Dachun to the bed before covering him with a quilt.

"Little cat, let's go."

Lin Jiufeng tidied his clothes and said softly.

Meow!

"Aren't you going to stay here for the night?"

The white cat asked.

"No need. I've said what I wanted to say…"

"A repeat of tonight will happen if I continue to stay here." Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Dachun?" The white cat jumped off the table.

"The farewells of adults are usually done discreetly. There's no need for sad farewells."

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and strode out of the courtyard.

He was already done saying what he wanted to say to Dachun.

Dachun was his friend.

But after all, the two of them weren't on the same path.

It would be better if he left directly after they were done drinking.

The white cat silently followed Lin Jiufeng into the carriage.

Under the night sky, the horse neighed and pulled the carriage away.

Back in the house, Dachun's snoring reverberated like thunder.

The coincidental encounter allowed Lin Jiufeng to know more about Dachun's current situation.

After knowing that he was doing fine, Lin Jiufeng could finally let go of his worries for Dachun.

After tonight, he would continue to pursue the peak of cultivation.

Dachun would also continue to live in seclusion with his wife and grandson.

No one knew when the two of them would meet once again.

As for the internal strife of the Dao sects that Dachun mentioned, Lin Jiufeng only treated it as another piece of information.

The internal strife in the Dao sects had nothing to do with him at all.

Could they really bear to fight until the world itself was destroyed?

The tipsy Lin Jiufeng sat in the carriage.

The white cat drove the carriage as it rapidly advanced through the night.

Lin Jiufeng fell asleep.

This was one of the few times that he managed to sleep.

The next day, an earthquake shook Lin Jiufeng awake.

Rumble!

It was as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to split apart.

The cries of many people sounded in his ears.

Lin Jiufeng opened his eyes.

His drunkenness instantly disappeared.

He lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a shocking scene.

On the peak of a distant mountain, a Daoist priest was casting a spell.

He roared. "Quan Zhen Sect, you are being too overbearing!"

After the roar, he seized a mountain and directly uprooted it. With his terrifying cultivation base as the foundation, he hurled it over directly at his enemy.

The other party was also a Daoist priest.

His body was like lightning as he shot out at breakneck speeds.

He condensed a gigantic energy form of himself and his phantom struck ruthlessly.

Boom!

The mountain directly exploded.

Rocks shot into the clouds, and tempestuous waves swept up layers of clouds.

The shattered rocks fell onto the ground.

But when the huge mountain crashed down, the world beneath trembled.

A small town close to Lin Jiufeng was directly annihilated by the plummeting mountain.

None of the people inside managed to escape.

When Lin Jiufeng saw this, his eyes narrowed and his face turned cold.

He looked into the distance.

The area within a few hundred miles seemed to have been cleansed.

A shattered mountain could be seen surrounded by many corpses.

There were no survivors.

But the two Daoist priests didn't seem to care at all.

They were still fighting.

Every move they executed carried a hint of the Great Dao as they ruthlessly struck against each other.

Deep rumbling sounds reverberated throughout the land.

The collateral damage caused by their battle was simply too much.

The screams and cries of many common people were all overshadowed by the sounds of their fight.

Only the impact and the dull sounds of their collisions filled both heaven and earth.

Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng's eyebrows stretched tautly.

He said in a low voice. "The Dao sects internal strife!"

This was the internal strife of the Dao sects that Dachun had just told him about.

One of the two Daoist priests was from the Quan Zhen Sect.

Although Lin Jiufeng didn't know which Dao sect the other one was from, considering that he had a domain and was obviously a Supremacy Realm expert. He must be a cultivator from one of the Dao sects.

"I thought that the internal strife of the Daoist Sects would not affect the Yuhua God Dynasty and its people…"

"But now, it seems that these mighty cultivators truly don't care about the deaths of the common people. They actually fought in such a crowded area and are actually being so unscrupulous as to ignore the casualties around them…"

"Not only that, but they seemed to be even doing this deliberately!" Lin Jiufeng coldly muttered.

Meow!

The white cat said, "In this battle, at least a thousand people died."

"They deserve death for killing so many people!" Lin Jiufeng coldly stated.

He couldn't be bothered with why the two were fighting.

It didn't matter to Lin Jiufeng who was right or wrong.

Lin Jiufeng directly pointed his finger out.

Clang!

A streak of sword energy shot out and traveled through the air.

It shot out so fast that it directly pierced through the clouds and penetrated the heads of the two Daoist priests.

Pu!

Pu!

The two Daoist priests fell straight down.

What they were arguing about was no longer important.

Chapter 166: Overthinking

The battle finally came to an end with the deaths of the two Daoist priests.

But the collateral damage of their battle remained.

Those who died could not be revived.

The only consolation for Lin Jiufeng was that he had successfully avenged their deaths.

"Why are the people from the Dao sects so unscrupulous as to fight at such a crowded place?"

The white cat didn't understand.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and replied, "I didn't expect that they would fight here when there are so many places for them to fight among the countless mountains and ravines of the world. In fact, they could even fight above the clouds!"

"The internal strife of the Dao sects that Dachun mentioned seems to be already at the point of no return." Lin Jiufeng muttered and lowered the carriage's curtain.

The white cat drove the carriage away from the war-torn land.

The rest of the recovery work would be handled by the officials of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Lin Jiufeng had already avenged the dead by killing the culprits.

The carriage continued to travel from the Central Plains to the Northern Regions.

As for the two Daoist priests that died, Lin Jiufeng didn't think about them at all.

No one knew that they died in his hands.

The carriage swayed and continued its journey to the Central Plains.

…

In the place where the two Daoist priests died, other Daoist priests soon appeared.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang was killed by someone from the Five-Rice Daoist Sect!"

A young Daoist priest shouted angrily.

"Bullsh*t! That Daoist Priest Ma Liang from your Quan Zhen Sect must be the one that killed my Senior Brother Yulin!" A Daoist priest in the distance rebutted.

The two Daoist priests that Lin Jiufeng killed were from the Quan Zhen Sect and the Five-Rice Dao Sect.

They were both cornerstones of their respective sects.

"The Five-Rice Dao Sect and the Quan Zhen Sect have the same lineage. Yet, you guys can actually be so vicious. You all are simply devoid of conscience!"

"You are ruining the reputation and prestige of our Dao sects…"

"You monsters!" An Uncle-Master from the Quan Zhen Sect stood forward and berated.

He put down the hat of righteousness first and placed his sect up on a pedestal.

"Stop trying to frame us…"

"What do you mean by ruining the reputation of the Dao sects?"

"The Five-Rice Dao Sect can't bear the weight of such an accusation!"

"We are all people of the Dao sects, what use is there in using such a trick against each other?"

"Today, your Quan Zhen Sect has abused your authority to bully others."

"By relying on your strength, you casually killed a fellow Daoist priest who are also people of the Dao sects. Before our ancestor's corpse, we—the Five-Rice Dao Sect—will definitely properly denounce you all!"

An old Daoist priest from the Five-Rice Dao Sect couldn't stand by anymore.

He coldly announced.

There were more than ten people on both sides, and they all knew that Ma Liang and Yulin were killed by someone else. But regardless of whether they were killed by someone else, they had to put the blame on the other party.

This way, they would be able to gain the upper hand in the Ancestral Ruins.

As for who the murderer was?

They did not have the time to think about the culprit.

What they wanted was the right to occupy the Ancestral Ruins

The internal strife of the Dao sects was all because of the ruins of a Daoist ancestor.

Every traditional Dao sect had the right to compete for it and none of them planned on compromising.

For this reason, they battled against each other.

They could even temporarily not take revenge for their fellow sect members who were killed by others.

Instead, they would first accuse the other party of their deaths.

The truth didn't matter anymore, what was important was causing trouble.

The Quan Zhen Sect and the Five-Rice Dao Sect immediately did what they were supposed to do. Both sides argued endlessly, but because they were evenly matched, they didn't dare to fight due to the risk of mutual destruction.

"The Five-Rice Dao Sect killed a disciple of the Quan Zhen Sect…"

"We must take our revenge."

"I will go and report this to the Sect Leader and ask him to denounce you guys in front of the Ancestral Ruins." The Uncle-Master of the Quan Zhen Sect waved his hand and asked a disciple to bring Ma Liang's corpse away.

"Do you really think that only the people from the Quan Zhen Sect have mouths and that those from the Five-Rice Dao Sect are mutes?" The old Daoist priest from the Five-Rice Dao Sect coldly snorted.

He also got his disciples to bring Yulin's corpse away.

The meeting between both sides was filled with tension, but they only said a few harsh words before going their own way.

The Quan Zhen Sect disciples left with Ma Liang's corpse.

A young Daoist priest asked curiously.

"Uncle-Master, Senior Brother Ma Liang was obviously pierced through his glabella with a sword. His Divine Soul was also ruthlessly cut into pieces. That Yulin of the Five-Rice Dao Sect also died in this manner…"

"Why did you say that Senior Brother Ma Liang was killed by the Five-Rice Dao Sect?"

"You are still young… Let Uncle-Master explain."

"At this critical moment, no matter who killed Ma Liang, we must all say that the culprit must be someone from the Five-Rice Dao Sect." the Uncle-Master from Quan Zhen Sect explained.

"Just like how the Five-Rice Dao Sect insisted that our Quan Zhen Sect killed Daoist Priest Yulin?" The Little Daoist priest asked.

"Yes…" The Uncle-Master nodded. "Right now, the few major Daoist sects, including our Quan Zhen Sect, are all surrounding the Northern Mountains. We are still very restrained in our actions. We are just waiting for the day when the Ancestral Ruins appears…"

"Once that day arrives, a world-shocking battle will surely occur. Your Senior Brother Ma Liang is hot-tempered and fought against Daoist Yulin, resulting in him losing his life. We must investigate this matter thoroughly when we're done with the Ancestral Ruins."

"Yes, we must avenge Senior Brother Ma Liang!" The Little Daoist priest nodded firmly.

On the other side, the people of the Five-Rice Dao Sect also warned their disciples as they explained to them the rationale behind the argument of both sects earlier.

"The equilibrium of the situation is about to be destroyed…"

"If anything or something abnormal happens in the Northern Mountains, the equilibrium might truly be destroyed, causing the largest war in the history of the Dao sects." Someone from the Five-Rice Dao Sect explained.

"There's an ancient city in the Northern Mountains…"

"But it's also a place where millions of people live."

A female Daoist priest raised her hand and said weakly.

Silence!

No one answered!

But the sound of rushing footsteps remained constant.

From the sound of it, the owners of the footsteps have long resolved themselves!

…

After the battle of the two Daoist priests in a densely packed residential area.

Lin Jiufeng became vigilant along the way.

This way, if there was something wrong, he could immediately intervene.

The casualties earlier were the common people of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

They were the common people that Emperor Yuan, Emperor Ming, and Emperor De worked hard to take care of. Although Lin Jiufeng wasn't the Emperor, he had always been secretly protecting the common people along with the late emperors.

Lin Jiufeng remained in a heightened state of awareness throughout the journey to the Central Plains. But despite his vigilance, nothing happened.

Everything remained peaceful in the three days that passed.

Lin Jiufeng was puzzled. "Didn't they say that the Central Plains is the world of the Dao sects?"

"The mountains where these Dao sects have established their foundations are located are all located around here…"

"Dachun said that the internal strife in the Dao sects is already intense. The two Daoist priests that we encountered three days ago is enough proof of that, but why hasn't there been any movement from them in the past three days?"

The white cat shook her head.

She had no idea.

"Perhaps I'm just overthinking…"

Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

Since it has been quiet over the past three days, there was no need for him to be so vigilant anymore.

He looked ahead of him.

A mountain range blocked their path.

"What's the name of this mountain? It looks quite impressive!" The white cat asked.

"Oh, there's also an ancient city on the summit of this mountain?"

"That is the famous Northern Mountains of the Central Plains!" Lin Jiufeng replied.

"The ancient city on the Northern Mountains is the famous Northern Mountains Ancient City. It is said that in the previous, previous, previous, and previous era—this ancient city was already established…"

"Millions of people are currently living within its confines today."

"How about we go there and take a look?" Lin Jiufeng asked with a smile.

"Wait, why are those Daoist priests surrounding this ancient city?"

The white cat's eyes seemed to be able to see through things.

As a result, she could see things that Lin Jiufeng could not.

"What Daoist priests?" Lin Jiufeng asked quizzically.

But the white cat confidently added.

"They are loitering around the ancient city, there's so many of them."

Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul immediately swept over.

Hiss!

He gasped.

The city was surrounded by densely packed groups of Daoist priests.

There were even a few of them at the Boundless Realm.

It turned out that he wasn't overthinking.

The silence of the past three days was truly just the calm before the storm.

Chapter 167: Northern Mountains Lord

When Lin Jiufeng's Divine Soul swept across, what he saw were clearly differentiated Daoist priests.

The four traditional factions of the Dao sects, which were the Quan Zhen Sect, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, the Five-Rice Dao Sect, and Mount Longhu were all present.

The atmosphere between them was very tense.

They looked at each other coldly.

Just as Dachun had said, the internal strife had become very serious to ignore.

These major traditional Dao sects came from the same ancestor.

But now, they were completely cold towards each other.

Lin Jiufeng could tell that these people from the Dao Sects were very restrained.

However, despite the obvious hostility, these people seemed to be restraining themselves.

It was as if they were waiting for something to happen before fighting.

"How did you see these Daoist priests?" Lin Jiufeng asked the white cat.

"My eyes can see through illusions and see the truth," the white cat replied.

"Why didn't I know about that?" Lin Jiufeng picked up the white cat in surprise.

"It only appeared recently…"

"To be precise, I only found out about it that night when you were drinking with Dachun. Of course, it's natural that you don't know about it." The white cat explained.

Lin Jiufeng put her down and looked at the people from the Dao sects.

"These people from the four traditional Dao sects have surrounded the Northern Mountains Ancient City. Just what exactly are they trying to do?" Lin Jiufeng was baffled.

"Is there some kind of a treasure here in the ancient city?" The white cat guessed.

"But what treasure could force the four traditional Dao sects to fall out with each other?"

"They are even staring at each other in a way that makes it seem like they wanted to immediately kill the other party?" Lin Jiufeng smacked his lips.

"If these people from the Dao sects fought, wouldn't this place be overturned?"

The white cat suddenly asked.

Lin Jiufeng's expression changed. He looked at the Northern Mountains Ancient City.

The ancient city was huge.

The entire Northern Mountains was the city.

Millions of people call the Northern Mountains their home.

If these people from the Dao sects fought, the common people would suffer.

If they were as unscrupulous as the two Daoist priests from a few days ago, this Northern mountain Ancient City would definitely be destroyed in the aftermath of their battle.

"Can't they go somewhere else?" Lin Jiufeng frowned.

Could it be that what they wanted was in this city?

"Are you going to intervene?" The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and replied, "Let's go inside the city first. In any case, they have no idea who I am, so they won't stop me from entering the city. I want to see just what kind of treasure would four traditional Dao sects covet at the same time."

There were many people from each of the four traditional Dao sects. Each sect had two to three Boundless Realm cultivators, so none of them could be underestimated. Once a fight broke out, Lin Jiufeng really wasn't confident that he could kill all of them with one strike.

If they were given a chance to fight back, the ancient city would be in trouble.

To thoroughly squash a problem, the core of the problem must be identified and solved first.

Hence, Lin Jiufeng directly went inside the ancient city to look for the treasure that the four Dao sects were willing to fight each other for.

Lin Jiufeng openly rode on the carriage and sat close to the door.

His outstanding temperament attracted the attention of a few people in the dark.

But since Lin Jiufeng concealed his cultivation base, they ultimately judged that he was a mere young master from a rich family.

Who would have thought that the driver—Lin Jiufeng—was the mysterious guardian deity of the Yuhua God Dynasty?

As Lin Jiufeng drove the carriage, he eavesdropped on a few Daoist priests'.

"What treasures are in the Ancestral Ruins?"

"Master, the four traditional Dao sects have fallen out with each other."

"They have shed all pretense of cordiality just for the Ancestral Ruins…"

"Just what exactly is the treasure inside?"

"Master, just tell us."

A few younger disciples pleaded with their master.

"All right, let me explain. It's said that the original version of the Daoist Scripture is inside the Ancestral Ruins. It's called the Scripture of the Great Dao. It depicts the origin of our Dao sects and it would be an understatement to say that it was valuable and priceless."

"But the Ancestral Ruins does not only contain that Daoist Scripture. The secret to becoming an Immortal is also in the Ancestral Ruins of our founder."

"Because of these, it doesn't matter if we have to kill others to obtain them."

"What matters is that we cannot give up!"

"Let alone falling out with each other—no matter who it is, no one will be willing to give up the secret to becoming an Immortal."

The master explained in a low voice to his disciples.

Lin Jiufeng heard his words.

'The Ancestral Ruins has the Scripture of the Great Dao and the secret to becoming an Immortal. This will indeed make the people of the Dao sects go crazy,' Lin Jiufeng muttered in his heart.

The four great traditional Dao sects came from the same lineage.

They all believed that they had the right to inherit the treasures and secrets inside.

Among them—the Quan Zhen Sect—which had developed the best among the Dao Sects, but also wanted to take everything for themselves, instantly offended the other three sects.

The Quan Zhen Sect developed well and even produced an Immortal at their peak.

In other words, they were the face of the Dao Sects.

But their glory belonged in the previous era.

In this brand-new era, a true top-notch powerhouse still didn't exist!

The Immortal of the Quan Zhen Sect was also nowhere to be seen.

The recovery of the world's spiritual energy had yet to reach its peak.

The situation of the world wasn't fixed just yet.

They were basically playing on the same even field, so what right did the Quan Zhen Sect have to claim everything for themselves?

Was it because they were the face of the four great traditional Dao sects?

The retaliation of the other major sects made the Quan Zhen Sect lose its face.

The Quan Zhen Sect had always been proud that their sect had once produced an immortal.

They considered themselves to be the leader of the four great traditional Dao sects.

But after being humiliated by the other Dao sects, the Quan Zhen Sect was enraged.

The result of this anger was that the four great traditional Dao sects got into a serious fight.

Many people died, and each of them dropped all pretense.

The four great traditional Dao sects had truly shed all pretense of cordiality.

Right now, they couldn't wait to destroy each other and emerge victorious in this brand-new era.

To be honest, the reason why they weren't making their move just yet was that the Ancestral Ruins had yet to appear. No one dared to make a move first. If one of them did, they would definitely be ganged up by the other three sects.

The four great traditional Dao sects restrained themselves. None of them dared to enter the ancient city. Thus, they could only surround the ancient city and keep an eye out for the opportune moment to barge in.

But despite them being practically restricted by each other—they all agreed that this standstill was the only thing maintaining the equilibrium of peace between these four Dao sects.

Most importantly, if no one moved.

No one would be able to take the higher ground against the others.

But what they didn't expect was that Lin Jiufeng had greatly benefited from this situation.

Lin Jiufeng swaggered into the Northern Mountains Ancient City.

Then, he stopped the carriage and looked at the crowd.

The place was bustling with noise and excitement.

The common people didn't notice anything strange.

They continued to live their days as usual.

The children were also playing about in the streets, the sounds of their happy laughter echoed throughout the city. The old people sat in front of their doors, they watched the children play with smiles on their faces.

There was deep melancholy in their eyes.

They thought about their past. And how they once lived a carefree life as children.

Northern Mountains Ancient City—it was truly an ancient city filled with history.

The moment Lin Jiufeng stepped onto the city, the system that remained quiet for the past few days suddenly appeared.

[Do you want to Sign-In at the Northern Mountains Ancient City?]

Lin Jiufeng replied without hesitation. "Sign in!"

Signing in at the ancient city that survived through numerous eras.

Just what reward would the ancient city bring to Lin Jiufeng?

[Sign-In successful. Received a copy of the Northern Mountains Sutra!]

"Northern Mountains Sutra?" Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.

What was this Northern Mountains Sutra?

He had never heard of it before.

Boom!

A stream of information entered his mind and it told Lin Jiufeng the origins of the Northern Mountains Sutra.

"The Northern Mountains Sutra is an invincible cultivation technique created by the Northern Mountains Lord…"

"It can infinitely heal injuries."

"In an instant, ones flesh and blood will be reborn…"

"Even a broken soul can be repaired."

"There would be no hidden injuries left after every healing process."

When Lin Jiufeng saw the introduction, he was shocked.

Of course, if the injuries were severe enough—the effectiveness of the Northern Mountains Sutra would directly be halved. The more severe the injuries were, the worse its effects would become.

But this didn't mean that it wasn't a terrifying and overpowered cultivation technique anymore.

"Who is this Northern Mountains Lord?" Lin Jiufeng was puzzled.

He had read countless books, but he had never seen any mention of this so-called Northern Mountains Lord. Logically speaking, a person who could create such a powerful cultivation technique should've been famous throughout history.

Chapter 168: Northern Mountains Lord's Origin

The Northern Mountains Sutra was created by the Northern Mountains Lord.

This was an invincible cultivation technique that could tempt even immortals.

But the Northern Mountains Lord's name wasn't widely known.

At the very least, there was no mention of such a name in the books that Lin Jiufeng had read.

The books that Lin Jiufeng had read consisted of the entire royal library of the Yuhua God Dynasty. It was also the library of the martial temples that were currently famous all over the world.

Since there were no records of this name in the royal library, 99% of the people in the world back then probably had no idea as to who this Northern Mountains Lord was.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the Northern Mountains Ancient City and guessed in his heart: 'The Northern Mountains Lord must be an expert from this ancient city. That's the only explanation why he is basically non-existent in the outside world.'

The carriage passed through the ancient city streets and stopped at the temple in the middle of the city. The temple was the divine temple that the citizens of the Northern Mountains Ancient City often visited for worship.

Inside the temple were idols that the people of this ancient city worshipped.

Lin Jiufeng paid the temple a visit to see if there was any information about this so-called Northern Mountains Lord.

At the same time, he was curious about the location of the Dao sects' relic.

"The four great traditional Dao sects wouldn't have a reason to fight anymore so long as I prevent the appearance of this so-called Ancestral Ruins…' Lin Jiufeng thought.

Doing so would also be a form of protection for the citizens of the Northern Mountains Ancient City.

Standing at the entrance of the temple, he raised his eyes and looked around him.

The temple was a huge building with steps that extended all the way up. The difference in height between the summit and the base was enormous.

The steps inside the temple winded up in segments and it seemed as if one would be climbing a mountain if they dared to scale these steps.

Near the stairs, there were various statues of old and young, men and women.

Their expressions, postures, and auras were all different and unique.

Lin Jiufeng carried the white cat and walked along with the pious people who came to pay their respects.

"Outsider, are you here to join in the crowd?"

An old granny walked together with Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng nodded and said, "I have heard about this place, so I came to visit."

"The people enshrined here are those who made great contributions to the Northern Mountains Race. As long as the person contributed to the Northern Mountains Race, a clay body will be made for them with their autobiography…"

"They will stand here and enjoy the incense offerings of their descendants."

The old granny climbed the stairs with nimble hands and feet.

She paid her respects to some of the statues along the way.

"Old man, why aren't you worshipping all of them together?" Lin Jiufeng was very curious.

This old granny actually chose only certain statues to worship.

Upon closer inspection, the statues that she worshipped were all women.

Moreover, they were all young girls and even babies.

She didn't worship the older ones at all.

This puzzled Lin Jiufeng.

"Young man, you don't understand, do you?" The old granny chuckled.

"How old are you?" Lin Jiufeng asked with a smile.

"I'm 99 this year, I'm about to cross 100," the old granny said proudly.

'Big sister, you're still very young!'

Lin Jiufeng muttered in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

"You must worship a specific statue for a specific wish. If you want to be healthy, pay your respects to the statues of those old people who have lived for more than 100 years."

"If you want to be powerful and successful in your cultivation, then pay your respects to those powerful warriors."

"If you want to marry a beautiful woman, then pay your respects to those young women."

"As for me, I just want to pray for my granddaughter's safety and fortune. That's why I'm paying my respects to the statue of these children. These children will protect and bless my granddaughter," the old granny replied.

"I see." Lin Jiufeng was enlightened as he looked around in wonder.

Such a saying was unheard of.

"Have these statues produced miracles before?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"In the beginning? No. But as everyone paid their respects more and more, the faith of the worshippers combined altogether to form the soul of these statues. After which, they gradually began to produce miracles," the old granny replied.

"You know about the concept of faith?" Lin Jiufeng was impressed.

"That is something that every member of the Northern Mountains Race must now. It's only natural that we know about such a concept for each and every one of us are working hard to become a statue of the divine temple after our deaths…"

"Fortunately, as long as we have contributed to the Northern Mountains Race, we will be worshipped by our own people and the people's faith will accumulate to ultimately turn that person into a god." The old granny explained.

Yes, a god.

More accurately, a man-made god.

There were originally no gods in the world—but because of faith—gods were born.

This was what the people of the North Mountain Race were doing.

In the beginning, the statues were mere clay statues, but as generations after generations placed their faith in the statues…

They eventually went on to become a god created from the amalgamation of faith that these members of the Northern Mountains Race had on them.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but ask, "May I ask?"

"I wonder if you've ever heard of the name, Northern Mountains Lord?"

"The Northern Mountains Lord?" The old granny was stunned.

"Yes, the Northern Mountains Lord!" Lin Jiufeng looked at the old granny expectantly.

"The Northern Mountains Lord…"

"Now that is something that I don't hear often." The old granny recalled.

Lin Jiufeng was shocked. This big sister knew something about the Northern Mountains Lord?

"Can you tell me about him?" Lin Jiufeng asked earnestly.

"You have to accompany me to worship these statues first and pray for my granddaughter's well-being before I can tell you." The old granny chuckled.

"How long will it take?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"It won't take too long. I am only going to worship the statues of the young girls and babies in the temple," the old granny replied.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but raise his head to look at the divine temple that was like a tall mountain. He swept his gaze at the statues along the way and the winding stairs that resembled the image of an enormous dragon.

He was rendered speechless as he looked at the old granny.

The old granny said with a smile. "Let's go, young man."

"Okay, Big sister," Lin Jiufeng replied rather quickly.

"What did you just say?" The old granny asked curiously.

"It's nothing…"

"Let's hurry up and pay your respects to the statues."

Lin Jiufeng squeezed out a smile and casually brought the conversation to its end.

The old granny started to climb.

She was quite agile.

This can also be attributed to the world's recovery of its spiritual energy.

If it was in the past, she would either be lying in a coffin or bedridden.

The old granny continuously worshipped statues one after another.

She was very pious.

After paying her respects for each statue, she even told Lin Jiufeng what deeds that statue did to be placed in the temple.

She was very familiar with them!

The granny explained the various deeds of the statues in detail.

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat followed and listened silently.

The worship continued from morning to noon.

Finally, they arrived at the summit.

The old granny panted a few times and sat on the steps of the mountain peak.

Looking down, the clouds were thousands of miles long and the mountains were stacked one after another. Sometimes the clouds were calm and sometimes they surged with strength and ferocity. Nevertheless, nature's fickleness looked very beautiful.

Lin Jiufeng also sat down and said, "Now that the worship is over, your granddaughter will definitely be protected."

The old granny said, "That lass is very stubborn. She's just a girl, yet she wants to pursue some kind of supreme martial arts peak. If you want to ask about the Northern Mountains Lord, then that lass is the one you should talk to."

Lin Jiufeng looked at the old granny.

"That lass went to the ancestral land of the Northern Mountains Race and received the inheritance of someone called the Northern Mountains Lord. But no one from the Northern Mountains Race knew about this so-called Northern Mountains Lord…"

"Everyone said that she was deceived…"

"But she firmly believed in this Northern Mountains Lord."

"Instead of giving up on the inheritance, she ran to the sea of clouds and lived in seclusion to cultivate. She always comes back to visit me a few times every year. But she would always directly leave after eating," the old granny said sadly.

The white cat whispered in Lin Jiufeng's ear.

"Ask your big sister as to where this sea of clouds is…"

Lin Jiufeng rolled his eyes at the white cat and asked, "Big sister… Bah. Old lady, where's this sea of clouds?"

The white cat sniggered on Lin Jiufeng's shoulder.

"The white clouds that you just saw are the sea of clouds. If not, then why would I bring you up here to the peak? Why would I drag you along? For what? To look at the scenery? Or should I really let you worship these statues for my granddaughter?"

The old granny stretched out her hand and pointed.

She came to pray for her granddaughter's well-being, but at the same time, she wanted to see her.

Among the mountains and valleys, the white clouds looked beautiful and serene.

Clumped together, they formed a sea of clouds.

"This big sister's granddaughter must have a high cultivation base considering how she can cultivate in seclusion among the sea of clouds." Lin Jiufeng whispered to the white cat.

"You bet…" The white cat nodded.

Before Lin Jiufeng could move, the old granny asked, "Young man, I've told you about the Northern Mountains Lord. Are you capable enough to go to the sea of clouds?"

Lin Jiufeng looked at the old granny and smiled confidently.

He didn't say anything.

He just stepped out and stood in the air. Then, the clouds froze and supported Lin Jiufeng.

Just like that, he walked through the sea of clouds step by step.

The sea of clouds built a bridge for him.

Lin Jiufeng walked into the depths of the sea of clouds and saw a house constructed from clouds.

In front of the house stood a young girl.

The young girl was very beautiful.

Her skin was as fair as snow, and her long hair fluttered in the wind.

Seeing her, the white cat immediately narrowed her eyes.

"I saw my grandmother talking to you just now," the young girl said with a quiet and beautiful temperament.

"I forgot to ask your grandmother, what's your name?" Lin Jiufeng asked with a smile.

"Cloud, I know your origins," Cloud said.

"You know?" Lin Jiufeng raised his brows in surprise.

"You came for the Northern Mountains Lord. I sensed a hint of the Northern Mountains Lord's aura just now." Cloud reached out and pointed. "And it came from you."

Lin Jiufeng looked at his own body and knew that it was because of the Northern Mountains Sutra.

"Can you tell me more about Northern Mountains Lord?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

As he asked, he observed her cultivation base.

Surprisingly…

Cloud was actually at the Boundless Realm.

And she was just the old granny's granddaughter!

Even if the old granny was 16 years old when she got married and had a child. Then, her first child was a girl, and this daughter also got married and had a child when she was 16 years old.

Let us say that the old granny married when she was 16 years old and had a child. Then, her first child was a girl who also married and gave birth to her own child at age 16.

Two 16-year-olds added together were 32 years old…

In addition, pregnancy lasted for 10 months.

If both didn't encounter any problem in their pregnancies, then the resulting number would be 35 years. As a result—no matter how old Cloud was—she must only be at the age of 60 to 70 years old, right?

A 60 to 70-year-old Boundless Realm expert?

Lin Jiufeng was also at the Boundless Realm.

Was she the true chosen one of this brand-new era?

"There's no need to be surprised by my cultivation base." Cloud also guessed Lin Jiufeng's thoughts.

She explained calmly. "The reason why I have such a cultivation base is also because of Northern Mountains Lord's inheritance. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to reach this realm with my own strength."

Lin Jiufeng wasn't surprised anymore.

The entire thing became more acceptable upon hearing her explanation.

"Who exactly is the Northern Mountains Lord?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

"The Northern Mountains Lord is the ancestor of those Daoist priests!" Cloud reached out and pointed. The four Dao sects hidden beneath the sea of clouds and their priests outside the ancient city were pointed out by her.

"You're saying that the Northern Mountains Lord is the ancestor of the four great traditional Dao Sects?" Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.

He was shocked.

"That's right!"

"In the Central Plains, the Northern Mountains Lord is known as the Ancestor of the Great Dao, the ancestor who founded the four great traditional Dao sects. But here, he's known as the Northern Mountains Lord." Cloud nodded.

Chapter 169: Four Symbols Purgatory Array

The Northern Mountains Lord was the ancestor of the Dao sects?

Or rather, he was the ancestors of the four great traditional Dao sects?

"If that's the case then why is the Northern Mountains Lord's name virtually unknown in the outside world?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

"There's no need for the people of the world to know about the Northern Mountains Lord. They only need to know about the ancestor of the Great Dao and the four great traditional Dao sects that he established. The Northern Mountains Lord belongs to the Northern Mountains Race, but the ancestor of the Great Dao belongs to the whole world," Cloud said.

"Can you explain more about these things to me in detail?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"You have to do me a favor then." Cloud smiled sweetly at Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng's expression wavered.

This smile of hers was very clean and beautiful.

Meow!

The white cat called out lazily.

She spread her claws and observed seriously.

Lin Jiufeng asked, "What is it?"

"I want you to resolve the crisis of the Northern Mountains Race…"

"Those Daoist priests are eyeing us covetously, wanting to obtain the relic of their ancestor. They have already gone crazy from killing each other. There's no way I can stop them at this point," Cloud said solemnly.

At first, she also wanted to stop them.

But now, there were more than ten Boundless Realms experts down below.

Each sect had at least two, at most three…

Their auras were so ferocious that she knew in an instant that she wouldn't be able to deal with them alone.

Once they really started fighting, both the Northern Mountains Ancient City and the Northern Mountains Race would suffer a great catastrophe.

"How are you so sure that I can help you?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"I can't see through you. You are very powerful, at least stronger than me. In this world, there aren't many people who are stronger than me. Each one of them is an extremely powerful existence." Cloud explained.

"That makes sense." Lin Jiufeng nodded, nodding at her wit.

"Then do you agree?" Cloud's eyes lit up as she asked.

"Tell me the story behind the Northern Mountains Lord and the ancestor of the Dao Sects. I want to hear all of it." Lin Jiufeng sat down in the sea of clouds.

White cloud condensed behind him and turned into a chair that supported his weight.

The white cat immediately jumped from Lin Jiufeng's shoulder to his thigh.

She stared at Cloud with an unfriendly gaze.

Cats were very territorial, she was now guarding her territory.

Cloud didn't care about the white cat.

She walked slowly in the cloud and began to tell Lin Jiufeng what he wanted to hear.

"The Northern Mountains Lord isn't from the Central Plains. It's wrong for the Dao sects to say that their ancestor is from the Central Plains."

"The Northern Mountains Lord was already a member of the Northern Mountains Race when he was young. He was born here several epochs ago."

"At that time, there was no Dao sect in the world just yet."

"But back then, the Northern Mountains Race already existed."

"In contrast to the Northern Mountains Race current standing in this brand-new era…"

"The Northern Mountains Race back then was very powerful. "

"The dynasty they had created—the Northern Mountains Dynasty had practically unified the world under its banner. It was essentially invincible."

"But as the Northern Mountains Lord grew up, he gathered hundreds of techniques and manuals from hundreds of sects and clans…"

"Together with studying the principles of the sages and inheriting the Dao techniques of his predecessors, he established the path of the Great Dao among the path of the Immortals."

Cloud explained with a solemn look on her face.

"That was a long time ago…"

"Everyone still cultivated the techniques created by immortals back then. But the Northern Mountains Lord believed that their techniques were flawed—He believed that this world should be filled with myriads of flowers blooming at the same time…"

"Thus, he established the path of the Great Dao. Using the teachings of the predecessors, he carved open a path for the future generations."

"Northern Mountains Lord took in only four disciples in his life. When he was old and weak, he passed down the sect he created to his disciples. He chose to bid farewell to them and returned to the Northern Mountains Ancient City where he was born and raised…"

"He left his legacy here and then disappeared."

"Some said that he ascended…"

"Some said that he died of old age…"

"While some said that he went to suppress the demonic creatures all over the world."

"But ultimately, no one knew where he went…"

"The people of the Northern Mountains Race never came to know about the Northern Mountains Lord due to his disappearance. They only know about his other identity as the ancestor of the Great Dao."

Cloud talked tirelessly and explained in detail.

She slowly walked around Lin Jiufeng's chair.

She explained the connection of the Northern Mountains Lord to the ancestor of the Great Dao.

"The Northern Mountains Lord… or rather, the ancestor of the Great Dao, where is the relic and legacy that he left behind?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

He was more concerned about this.

After all, the four great traditional Dao sects were competing for it.

"Look over there." Cloud reached out and pointed behind Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng looked in the direction that she pointed.

She was pointing at the divine temple of the Northern Mountains Race!

"The temple is the relic left behind by the Northern Mountains Lord?" Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.

"It's beneath the divine temple…"

"Inside is the manual that contains all of his knowledge and wisdom—the Northern Mountains Sutra!"

Cloud said solemnly.

"The Northern Mountains Sutra is a peerless cultivation technique that can help anyone achieve the Immortal Realm." A hint of desire appeared on Cloud's face as she said these words.

Lin Jiufeng's expression became strange.

A manual that contained all of his knowledge and wisdom that could help anyone reach the Immortal Realm?

It was the Northern Mountains Sutra?

He already has it!

"The Northern Mountains Sutra also has another name, the Daoist Scripture. The Daoist scripture is the general outline of the ultimate Dao techniques. It also has all of the Northern Mountains Lord's cultivation techniques in its records." Cloud further explained.

"How come the people of the Northern Mountains Race had no idea as to who the Northern Mountains Lord is?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Because when the Northern Mountains Lord returned to the Northern Mountains Race, he lived in seclusion. No one knew that the glorious ancestor of the Great Dao outside was actually a slovenly old man in the Northern Mountains Race." Cloud explained.

In fact, even she only came to know about these things after obtaining the Northern Mountains Lord's legacy.

It was also because of the legacy that she knew why the four Dao sects were trying to surround the ancient city.

"When will the Ancestral Ruins be opened and the relic be accessed?"

Lin Jiufeng curiously looked at the divine temple.

"I can open it whenever I want to. But to be honest, it's also my fault that these Dao sects sensed the Northern Mountains Lord's legacy. It's all because I opened its seal at the divine temple…"

"But if it weren't for the fact that I was continuously suppressing the Ancestral Ruins from above, the relic inside of it would've long appeared. If that happened, then the Northern Mountains Race would've surely experienced a disaster long ago."

Cloud looked gloomy when she said all of these.

"Are you trying to say that we can't take the relic outside?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Yes…"

"But now, I feel that it's becoming more and more difficult to suppress it."

"The traces of activity beneath the divine temple are slowly getting stronger. The people from the Dao Sects are also deliberately helping it break its suppression. In addition—even the relic itself—the Northern Mountains Sutra also wants to come into being …"

Cloud explained with difficulty.

"I have a solution!" Lin Jiufeng said firmly.

"Really?" Cloud looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise, her eyes filled with joy.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but take another look at the girl's look of surprise.

Meow ~

The white cat purred.

"Her grandmother is your big sister." The white cat sent a voice transmission to Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng sweated.

He only took a glance at her, that's all.

"Bring me to that place beneath the divine temple. I will go there and set up an array formation."

Lin Jiufeng stood up and said solemnly.

He looked straight ahead at the temple without looking at Cloud.

"What array formation are you going to set?" Cloud asked curiously.

"The Four Symbols Purgatory Array!" Lin Jiufeng said.

He previously received this Four Symbols Purgatory Array in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy beneath the Cold Palace. Since then, he never had the opportunity to use it. But today, he finally found a reason to do so.

With a flip of his palm, a formation blueprint and four statues appeared in Lin Jiufeng's hand.

The four symbols represented the Vermillion Bird, the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, and the White Tiger.

Once the four statues were activated in tandem with the formation blueprint, a huge array formation would stir into action.

"This array isn't just to suppress the Northern Mountains Lord's relic. It will also teach those people from the four great traditional Dao sects a lesson that they will never forget!"

Lin Jiufeng sneered.

He could already imagine what was about to happen.

Chapter 170: Welcome!

Lin Jiufeng and Cloud soon arrived at the divine temple.

The core area of the divine temple was not open to outsiders. It was protected by the people of the Northern Mountains Race. But when Lin Jiufeng and Cloud entered, no member of the Northern Mountains Race noticed them.

"The members of the Northern Mountains Race haven't adapted just yet in this brand-new era."

"Despite it already being decades into the world's spiritual energy recovery, their strength remained stagnant. Or rather, ever since the Northern Mountains Race unified the world and established the golden age of that era, they snowballed into decline," Cloud regretfully said.

She was from the Northern Mountains Race, so she naturally hoped that the Northern Mountains Race would become stronger. But in reality—the Northern Mountains Race had always been like this—stagnant and mediocre.

But at the same time, this was also the reason why the Northern Mountains Race was able to preserve themselves for several eras and continued to exist for so long similar to those powerful sects and factions.

"Everything that happened to the Northern Mountains Race can be considered as both a curse and a blessing," Lin Jiufeng muttered.

"Beneath this divine temple is the Northern Mountains Lord's relic. I've been suppressing it all this time, but the seal has already loosened after so long." Cloud reached out and pointed at a place beneath the divine temple.

Lin Jiufeng focused his gaze.

With his powerful eyes, he saw through the soil, the divine temple, and saw the taiji symbol-like building beneath. It was black and white, with yin and yang swirling around it. There was also Daoist True Qi surrounding it.

The entire building seemed to be floating and sinking as if it was breathing.

"Indeed, it seems to be anxious about coming into being…" Lin Jiufeng commented.

Just by looking at it, he could already feel the immense strength of the True Qi that it emanated in all directions.

Fortunately, Cloud was suppressing it.

Otherwise, it would have long erupted.

"As you can see, I had no other choice but to ask you for a favor to come and help me seal this place. Once it comes into being, the commotion it will create will incite competition between the Dao sects…"

"The Northern Mountains Race cannot afford to bear them duke it out in an all-out war."

"Especially since the location of the divine temple is too awkward, it's right at the middle where most members of the Northern Mountains Race are concentrated," Cloud explained.

"I understand…"

"I will help you with this matter." Lin Jiufeng nodded.

"Disperse the people around the divine temple first. When I set up the array formation to suppress this place later, those people from the Dao sects will definitely rush in and a huge battle will break out. It won't be good if the common people are hurt," Lin Jiufeng said.

"All right, I'll handle it in two hours," Cloud said decisively.

She would look for the higher-ups of the Northern Mountains Race and ask them to evacuate the surrounding people.

Lin Jiufeng leisurely strolled around the divine temple.

Looking at this part of the divine temple that strictly prohibited outsiders from entering.

Just what was in this place aside from this building that made it unique from the outside?

Actually, they were all the same…

It was just that the so-called Ancestral Ruins were beneath the soil here.

Although the people of the Northern Mountains Race didn't know, they could feel the earth breathing and the ground trembling on this place as if there was a terrifying existence below that was about to come into being.

Since that was the case, they knew better than to have the common people freely venture here.

Hence, they sealed the place and didn't allow anyone to enter.

"Little Cat, go and watch from the side. I'll set up the array formation now."

Lin Jiufeng waited for an hour and drove the white cat away as he said.

"Be careful." The white cat was very obedient.

She knew that she wasn't of much help to Lin Jiufeng, so she came to a decision that not causing trouble for him was her greatest contribution.

The white cat jumped outside and watched from afar.

Lin Jiufeng took out the four statues.

Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise.

The four statues looked small, but they were divine items with souls.

"The person who created this array formation spent a huge amount of resources to create the four statues. They were fused with the blood essences of the four divine beasts. Once they are activated, they will be able to reproduce the might of the four divine beasts."

Lin Jiufeng reached out and rubbed the four statues.

He walked to a corner and left one behind.

He walked to another corner and left one behind.

In this manner, in each of the four corners, there was a statue.

The four divine beasts in four directions would be able to completely display their might.

Lastly, Lin Jiufeng took out the array formation blueprint and held it in his hand.

He then stood there, waiting for the Northern Mountains Race to evacuate the people nearby.

Fortunately, Cloud moved fast.

With her powerful cultivation base as leverage, she told the higher-ups of the Northern Mountains Race that they had to evacuate the people around the divine temple.

Otherwise, a catastrophe would occur.

The people of the Northern Mountains Race quickly retreated.

With the divine temple as the center, the land within tens of miles became empty.

Just like a ghost city, there was nothing around the divine temple.

There wasn't even a dog.

Even the white cat followed them and evacuated.

She ran tens of miles away and watched from afar.

Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng directly tossed the array formation blueprint and directly injected all of his True Qi into it.

Boom!

A deafening sound rang out.

Accompanied by a surging aura, the array formation blueprint inside the temple was directly activated, its might seeped into the relic.

Amidst the rumbling auras—the roars of a dragon, a tiger, a phoenix—and a black tortoise could be heard.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The roars shook the surroundings.

The true bodies of the four divine beasts appeared one after another.

The Azure Dragon's body was huge.

It flew into the air before landing. Its claws smashed onto the ground of the divine temple.

Rumble!

The ground trembled.

The already fragile seal completely collapsed at this moment.

The Northern Mountains Lord's relic and legacy in the Ancestral Ruins were about to come into being.

But the Four Symbols Purgatory Array immediately suppressed it.

The Azure Dragon's attack struck the relic, knocking it back down.

Then, the white tiger roared and shook the mountains and rivers.

It also came pressing down with all its might.

The Vermillion Bird's cry reverberated through the universe as its powerful strength collided against the relic.

The Black Tortoise smashed down with its claws.

The thick earth directly pervaded the relic.

After its claws struck, it directly suppressed the relic.

The relic froze, unable to move.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The changes were so fast that the members of the Dao sects outside the ancient city couldn't react.

They wore surprised looks on their faces.

"What happened in the city?" A Daoist priest asked curiously.

"No idea… Are they being attacked by demonic creatures?"

"Those demonic creatures have nothing to do with us. The people of the Northern Mountains Race should handle them on their own. We just have to wait for the appearance of the Ancestral Ruins, and from there, we can obtain the Daoist Scripture."

"That's right!"

"The Daoist Scripture is something that can directly produce immortals…"

"We must obtain it at all costs."

The people from the Dao Sects discussed as they watched from afar.

But at this moment, the higher-ups of the Quan Zhen Sect, Mount Longhu, the Five-Rice Dao Sect, and the Zenith Heaven Path Sect exclaimed.

"Not good!"

Their cries of alarm came all of a sudden, scaring a few of their disciples, who then looked at them in confusion.

What was not good?

A disciple wanted to ask.

But before he could ask, the top powerhouses of the four Dao sects rushed into the Northern Mountains Ancient City like a swarm of locusts.

"The aura of the Ancestral Ruins disappeared?"

"How is that possible?"

"That aura was still so dense and intense just now. It seemed like it would erupt at any moment to come into being in the mortal realm. How could it suddenly disappear?"

"Something happened with the relic of our ancestor in the Ancestral Ruins!"

At this moment, the higher-ups of the Dao sects no longer cared about being on guard against each other.

They swarmed into the ancient city.

But what they saw when they arrived were the four divine beasts—Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.

The four divine beasts looked at them covetously, their terrifying auras surged with the intent to fight.

Behind the four divine beasts stood a hazy-looking man.

He chuckled. "You lot are finally here. I've waited for you lot for a long time."

"Have a taste of the feast that I've prepared for you all!"

As soon as his words fell, Lin Jiufeng waved his hand.

The four divine beasts roared together and rushed forward at once.

Protected by the array formation, the mysterious-looking Lin Jiufeng said softly, "Welcome!"

The Azure Dragon roared toward the sky as it spat out dragon flames that directly smashed towards the visitors' faces.

The Daoist priests who rushed in were shocked.

When they saw the Azure Dragon, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"That's a divine beast, right? A true dragon?"

"Is it really a true dragon?"

"Aren't true dragons extinct in our era?"

"Why did this azure dragon attack us for no reason?"

The higher-ups of the four Daoist sects shouted angrily.

They were furious and annoyed.

A Daoist priest of the Boundless Realm took a step forward.

A domain appeared around him.

His domain directly covered the sky and blocked the dragon flames.

But in the very next moment, the Azure Dragon's dragon claw smashed down.

Boom!

The Daoist priest's body trembled.

His domain quivered along with his body.

Fortunately, it didn't shatter, but the impact still made him vomit blood.

"What?"

The Boundless Realm Daoist priest looked at the Azure Dragon in fury.

"Let's attack it together. This azure dragon's strength isn't that strong." The Boundless Realm expert of another sect solemnly suggested.

At this moment, they temporarily put aside their grudges.

They wanted to let the relic break out of its seal.

Hence, the people from the four great traditional Dao sects wanted to join forces to defeat Lin Jiufeng.

But before they could even join forces, the White Tiger directly rushed out of the array formation. It soared into the sky towards them as it moved at breakneck speeds. Its teeth were very sharp and its claws were terrifyingly powerful as it pounced over at them.

"The Azure Dragon, and the White Tiger!"

The Dao Sects members were shocked by the might of the White Tiger.

As soon as it came out of the array formation, it directly charged over at them.

A Perfected One from one of the Daoist sects stepped out and activated his domain to resist the White Tiger with all his might.

But the Vermillion Bird followed closely behind.

It roared toward the sky. Its body was powerful, and it landed down with its powerful flames.

The surrounding area immediately became a sea of flames!

Fortunately, the common people in the area had already made their retreat in advance.

Otherwise, most of them would be dead by now.

"The Azure Dragon, the Vermillion Bird, and the White Tiger…" A Boundless Realm cultivator stepped out to resist the Vermillion Bird. Using his own domain, he swallowed the sea of fire and forced it to burn inside his domain.

He endured the pain and mumbled.

"It's good that the Black Tortoise isn't here. If not, then we would be facing the four divine beasts all at once…"

Dong!

As soon as his words fell, a Black Tortoise as big as a small mountain walked out of the array formation.

The Black Tortoise appeared.

Its claw descended.

The air itself ruptured as the claw moved through the air.

Space itself froze when the claw landed.

Even Boundless Realm experts found it difficult to walk.

They felt as if the world's gravity had increased by hundreds or thousands of times.

The people of the Dao Sects tried their best to hold on.

Another Boundless Realm cultivator stood out.

He gritted his teeth and decided to endure the brunt of the Black Tortoise's attack as he soared toward the sky.

"So what if they are the Four Great Divine Beasts? They are all illusions! They are illusions born from this array formation. If we kill the person operating this array formation, these beasts will disappear. We must find and kill him!"

This time, it was the Boundless Realm powerhouse from the Quan Zhen Sect who shouted.

The four great traditional Dao sects all had Boundless Realms experts to fight against the divine beasts.

As the battle continued, the experts found out that these four divine beasts weren't that strong compared to what they had initially expected.

This revelation greatly boosted the morale of the four great traditional Dao sects.

"There's someone behind that array formation. He must be the mastermind. We must go in and kill him!" A Boundless Realm cultivator from the Quan Zhen Sect shouted.

"Let me handle it!" A Daoist priest rushed out from the Quan Zhen Sect.

He was holding a sword in his hand.

Every attack from his sword was filled with sharp killing intent.

He rushed into the array formation and drew his sword, wanting to kill Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng didn't even look at him. He just moved his fingers.

Pu!

A sharp sword energy directly penetrated this powerhouse of the Quan Zhen Sect.

The sword penetrated his glabella.

Not only that, but the sword energy's momentum also destroyed the Daoist priest's Divine Soul.

Despite all of that, the sword energy still had its momentum as its powerful force directly carried the fallen Daoist priest away from the array formation.

The corpse crashed heavily onto the ground.

This Daoist priest returned as fast as he went in.

Moreover, his death seemed to be very peaceful.

He didn't seem to have suffered an injury that directly caused his death.

In fact, he didn't even realize that he was already dead.

He still had that look of excitement on his face before he ventured into the array formation.

The members of the Dao Sects were shocked.

"That's Daoist Priest Kangwei from the Quan Zhen Sect!"

"He's half-step into the Boundless Realm!"

"Even an expert half-step into the Boundless Realm failed?"

The mastermind behind all of these must be at the Boundless Realm!"

"Let's send two people inside this time! Let's see who this mastermind is!" The people from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect coldly snorted.

Their Zenith Heaven Path Sect had three Boundless Realm experts. One of them was blocking the Vermillion Bird, and the other two flew together into the array formation.

Their goal was—of course—to kill Lin Jiufeng.

Once Lin Jiufeng died, the array formation would deactivate.

The four divine beasts would completely disappear without a trace.

The two Boundless Realms rushed over together.

Their auras were boundless, and they were both from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.

Their minds were connected…

Furthermore, their high degree of coordination was surely enough to threaten anyone.

But Lin Jiufeng remained calm.

These two Boundless Realm experts weren't that powerful in his eyes.

They had just recently entered the Boundless Realm.

Compared to Lin Jiufeng, the difference between them wasn't trivial.

They rushed over aggressively as they executed their cultivation techniques.

A powerful Dao Ancestor phantom condensed and came boring down.

A sword came from the west, slashing through the clouds to kill Lin Jiufeng.

In the eyes of the common people, these two people were definitely powerful.

But in front of Lin Jiufeng, they weren't worth mentioning at all.

Lin Jiufeng only moved and flicked his finger.

Everything came to an end.

A sword light, with an aura that seemed incredibly familiar to the Daoist priests, burst out.

Lin Jiufeng used the Northern Mountains Sutra.

It was the Daoist Scripture that the Daoist priests yearned for all their lives.

At this moment, a sword technique recorded in the Northern Mountains Sutra revealed its might as it rushed over toward the two Daoist priests.

Boom!

In the next second, the two great Boundless Realm experts were sent flying.

A sword energy directly cut off a part of their body, though the part that was cut off was different between the two of them.

One hand and one leg.

The limbs of two great Boundless Realm experts were severed by Lin Jiufeng.

And as if they were struck by lightning, Lin Jiufeng's terrifying aura alone forced them out of the array formation.

Similar to the one that died just now, they came out as fast as they went in.

Two Boundless Realm experts of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect rushed in and were then instantly defeated.

One of them had his arm sliced off, and the other had his leg from the thigh down cut off.

"You… Who exactly are you?" This time, the surrounding Daoist priests could not remain calm any longer. But some of them managed to retain their rationality as they immediately questioned after recovering from their surprise.

"Who I am isn't important…" Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

"Then why are you stopping us from doing what we want?" A Daoist priest was indignant

"Everything here belongs to the Northern Mountains Race, not to anyone else," Lin Jiufeng replied from the fog.

"The Northern Mountains Race will surely not be able to protect such a relic, isn't it only reasonable for us to take it away so they can be spared from the trouble? Also, what you are taking away from us is a relic from our Dao sects' founder…"

"How could it not belong to us?" Another Daoist priest chimed in.

"It's something that belonged to your ancestor. You're right—"

Before Lin Jiufeng could finish speaking, however, a Daoist priest said loudly, "You think it's reasonable too, right? You must help us then. Take this formation away and open the seal. We both know there are many treasures inside."

"You lot may want this relic, but I've already sealed it."

"Only after 100 years will you lot have a chance to unseal it again."

Lin Jiufeng added coldly.

In other words, Lin Jiufeng was trying to postpone the relic's emergence into the world for 100 years.

"What?"

"How dare you!"

"That's something that our ancestor left for us, yet you've sealed it? Says who?!"

"Young man, you have just turned us—the four great traditional Dao sects—into your enemies."

Chapter 172: Lin Jiufeng, a Kindhearted Commoner

Lin Jiufeng's words infuriated the people from the four great traditional Dao sects.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Jiufeng had just defeated two Boundless Realm powerhouses from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, they would've already surrounded Lin Jiufeng and turned him into ashes.

To these people, Lin Jiufeng's words and actions were an insult.

For the sake of their founding ancestor's relic, the four great traditional Dao sects had shed all pretense of cordiality and started a massacre against each other.

But today, someone arrived all of a sudden and told them that he was delaying the emergence of the relic that they were trying so hard to obtain for 100 years?

Was he joking?

They glared at Lin Jiufeng.

Immediately afterwards, they unanimously released their hatred toward Lin Jiufeng.

In the array formation of the Four Symbols Purgatory Array, thick fog rolled and covered everything. Lin Jiufeng's figure was faintly discernible inside, but his face seemed to be surrounded by a mist.

Lin Jiufeng faced the four great traditional Dao sects on his own.

He declared.

"Go back to where you came from. I am sealing this relic once again."

"A clown who only hides in the dark who doesn't even dare to show his face actually dares to be so arrogant?"

"You are indeed powerful, but your strength is only because of this array formation, right?"

"The four symbols—in other words—the foundation of this array formation of yours is already in our hands! As long as we break this formation of yours, you will die without a proper burial!"

"Oh, come on. You just want to take that relic for yourself, am I right? To think that you can even sound so righteous despite being so arrogant and shameless. Waiting for 100 more years is impossible for us, it would be too late by then."

"That is the relic of our Dao Sects' ancestor. An outsider like you shan't interfere!"

"That's right!"

"We advise you to surrender…"

"The four symbols which serve as the foundation of this formation of yours are already in our hands."

The powerhouses from the four major Dao sects spoke one after another.

Each one of them wore ferocious looks on their faces.

They looked at the four statues that were currently being held captive by four Boundless Realm experts. Their confidence rose exponentially, thinking that Lin Jiufeng was only powerful because of the array formation.

In the current stage of the world's spiritual energy recovery, the people from the Dao sects didn't believe that anyone could surpass their cultivation bases in the Boundless Realm.

It was simply unimaginable for them.

Therefore, it must only because of the array formation that Lin Jiufeng was able to defeat one of them.

After Lin Jiufeng heard their words, the corner of his mouth curled up. In the array formation and within the thick fog, he said softly, "Do you lot really think that this array formation is that easy to subdue?"

Lin Jiufeng found it interesting. The Four Symbols Purgatory Array was something that he received from signing in at the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. It was an understatement to say that it was extremely powerful.

It had displayed a mere fraction of its power just now.

"Hmph! We are already suppressing these four symbols of yours. What's the use of being so stubborn?" A powerhouse from one of the Dao sects coldly rebuked.

A domain materialized behind him and pressed down. It suppressed the Black Tortoise.

The Black Tortoise stood motionless.

The powerhouse looked on proudly.

What bullsh*t Four Symbols Purgatory Array?

The name might be imposing, but it's only this strong?

But he didn't notice that a trace of ridicule appeared in the Black Tortoise's eyes.

In the Four Symbols Purgatory Array, Lin Jiufeng looked at the Dao sect powerhouse and smiled slightly. "Since you are that confident, let's see if you can handle the true might of the Four Symbols Purgatory Array."

Boom!

As soon as Lin Jiufeng's words fell, a tremendous force rushed out of the formation.

The force that suppressed the relic of the Northern Mountains Lord appeared.

The true might of the Four Symbols Purgatory Array was finally revealed at this moment.

Its vast energy surged, rolled, and dived into the Black Tortoise's body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ferocity flashed in the Black Tortoise's eyes. Its huge body suddenly raised and directly lifted the domain that was pressing down on it. Then, it bit down and its sharp teeth pierced through the domain of the Dao sect powerhouse.

It pulled and ruthlessly tore the domain apart.

The domain of the Dao sect powerhouse was instantly torn apart.

He let out a cry of surprise and anger as he retreated in a hurry.

He reached out and struck decisively.

His attack smashed against the Black Tortoise's body with a bang.

But the Black Tortoise didn't care at all.

Its huge mouth bit down on the Dao sect powerhouse's arm, then it directly tore the arm apart.

Clack!

An arm was torn off.

The pain made the Dao sect powerhouse scream.

His expression distorted as he continued his frantic retreat.

But how could the Black Tortoise let him escape?

The energy in its body shook and radiated in all directions.

The space around the Black Tortoise immediately became akin to that of a quagmire.

The Dao sect powerhouse couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

It was like he was deep in the mud.

He became as slow as a turtle.

He could only watch as the Black Tortoise approached and bit down with its bloody mouth.

Boom!

His head was directly bitten off.

His Divine Soul wanted to escape, but he couldn't even do so.

His Divine Soul was directly devoured by the Black Tortoise.

The Black Tortoise let out a roar. It raised its head and glared.

The true might of a divine beast demanded worship from its surroundings.

Roar!

A roar reverberated throughout the ancient city.

Many people looked at the Black Tortoise's huge body in horror.

And at this moment, the trapped Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, and White Tiger all displayed their true might. They broke free and crushed the Dao sects' powerhouses with their powerful strength.

The Azure Dragon swam in the air.

A roar was immediately followed by a scorching dragon flame that fell like rain.

Boom!

A Daoist priest who had just recently entered the Boundless Realm directly exploded, his Divine Soul was annihilated in the blink of an eye.

The Azure Dragon toward the air.

Its huge body occupied half of the sky above the divine temple.

The Vermillion Bird was the same.

It pounced at breakneck speeds.

With a cry and a gust of wind, a Daoist priest's life ended right there and then.

The White Tiger was the cruelest against its enemies. It pounced into the group of Daoist priests and like a wolf in a sheep's den. Its wild nature erupted. It directly bit to death, anyone that it saw. Those grazed by its claws either died in an instant or suffered grievous injuries.

At this moment, the Four Symbols Purgatory Array showed its true might to the world. The members of the four great traditional Dao sects were terrified. They made a frantic retreat to avoid these four divine beasts.

But the four divine beasts refused to let them off.

They were furious and wanted to kill.

When the members of the four great traditional Dao sects were finally out of the ancient city, it was only when they were far away did the four divine beasts calmed down. They stood in the four cardinal directions and simultaneously let out deafening roars.

Then…

They turned into stone statues that protected the four directions of the Northern Mountains Ancient City. Of course, this included the Northern Mountains Lord's relic.

From now on, no one was allowed to make trouble in the ancient city.

Especially in the divine temple.

If a fool dared to do so, then the four divine beasts would gladly take their lives.

When the four Daoist sects saw this scene, they gritted their teeth, their hearts bleeding.

The relic of the Dao sects' ancestor.

The Daoist Scripture that the Dao Sects wanted to obtain for so many generations.

The secrets to the Immortal Realm.

They were now unattainable.

Just a few hours earlier, the four great traditional Dao sects surrounded the ancient city and even tried to stop each other from entering and taking the first dibs.

But now, they didn't even dare to enter anymore.

What happened in a span of two hours was simply a nightmare for these Dao sects.

The Four Symbols Purgatory Array was like a ghost that caught them off guard.

Lin Jiufeng, who was in the array formation, didn't even make a move on his own.

The four statues alone forced them into submission.

"This relic will emerge into the world in 100 years. Those from the Dao Sects are not allowed to act presumptuously in the Northern Mountains Ancient City!"

Lin Jiufeng's cold voice reverberated in the surroundings and also throughout the world.

The people from the Dao sects watched and listened in silence.

They felt wronged, but they couldn't do anything at all.

"Who exactly are you?" A Daoist Perfected One gritted his teeth and asked.

"I'm just a kindhearted commoner!" Lin Jiufeng replied.

He was truly kindhearted.

He didn't want to see people of the Northern Mountains Race suffer, so he decided to help.

He originally had nothing to do with this matter at all.

Hence, he described himself as a kindhearted commoner by helping.

But would these people from the Dao sects believe him?

Of course, they didn't!

All of them wore strange expressions on their faces.

Are you trying to deceive children here?!

Chapter 173: Emperor De Fell Sick

The members of the four great traditional Dao sects looked at the Northern Mountains Ancient City, then at the four statues that stood tall and upright.

They were silent.

The Four Symbols Purgatory Array were opposing them along with a mysterious and kindhearted commoner

Under Lin Jiufeng's gaze, the people from the Dao sects retreated.

No matter how unwilling they were…

They had to leave.

The members of the four great traditional Dao sects looked at each other.

They were too downcast to talk about anything.

As a result, they immediately took off and left.

The internal strife between the four great traditional Dao sects directly broke the relationship between them.

If they met again in the future, they would just be strangers to each other. It would already be considered polite to address the other party as "Fellow Daoist" if they met once more.

The people of the Northern Mountains Race cheered, although they didn't know what actually happened. But it was obvious that the Northern Mountains Race had forced the Dao sects away.

The Northern Mountains Race obviously won.

Thus, they cheered.

Cloud watched from afar with the white cat. She exclaimed. "Amazing! He forced Dao sects away so easily. He's too powerful!"

Meow!

The white cat called out lazily. "Your grandmother is his big sister. He's old, so he's naturally very powerful. After all, he has cultivated for so many years."

Cloud looked at the white cat but noticed that the white cat was ignoring her.

The white cat quickly ran to Lin Jiufeng's side and called out sweetly.

Lin Jiufeng squatted down and gently picked up the white cat and asked, "Am I really powerful?"

"You're strong enough to attract someone's admiration!" The white cat lampooned.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm always hiding in the dark. How can I attract anyone's admiration?" Lin Jiufeng rebuked as he carried the white cat out of the array formation's range.

Cloud was waiting outside the divine temple. When she saw Lin Jiufeng, her eyes lit up. She quickly chattered away in excitement. "Senior is too powerful! You suppressed the four great traditional Dao sects on your own. That's simply incredible!"

Uh…

Lin Jiufeng looked at the little white cat.

The white cat blinked.

It turned out that the "admiration" he attracted was Cloud's admiration.

Lin Jiufeng suppressed the waves in his heart and calmly replied, "I only acted for the sake of the millions of people in the Northern Mountains Race. The array formation here can be maintained for 100 years. Unless someone destroys it, it won't be a problem for this array formation to continuously suppress the Northern Mountains Lord's relic."

Cloud looked at Lin Jiufeng with a gentle smile. "Senior, you saved the Northern Mountains Race! There is nothing that the Northern Mountains Race can repay your kindness with."

"But… But—I'm willing to do anything for you!"

The white cat's face darkened at these words.

She was actually being so blatant?

Lin Jiufeng was also shocked.

This girl was so proactive!

"It's a pity that you are a girl. If you were a man, we would've already become sworn brothers."

"We would live and die together, never abandoning each other." Lin Jiufeng was regretful.

Cloud: "???"

The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in shock.

How could he even say such words?

The white cat's gaze immediately turned into an admiring one.

"All right! Protect this array formation properly and it will serve you well for 100 years…"

Lin Jiufeng added. "It's time for me to leave. Until we meet again!"

Cloud was still in a daze as she watched Lin Jiufeng leave.

It wasn't until Lin Jiufeng left that she realized that she still didn't know his name.

"Senior, what's your name? When can we meet again?" Cloud hurriedly shouted.

Lin Jiufeng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her.

Then, he waved his hand and said with a smile. "When the spring flowers bloom next year, we shall meet again."

Lin Jiufeng still didn't mention his name and origin.

He directly took his leave.

He never really wanted to be involved with the Northern Mountains Race. Of course, being involved with the Dao sects' internal strife was also an accident.

Lin Jiufeng was still focused on his goal.

Cloud watched in silence. She felt regretful in her heart.

Lin Jiufeng left the Northern Mountains Race and the Northern Mountains Ancient City. Facing the spring breeze and the warm afternoon sun, Lin Jiufeng drove his carriage and continued towards the Northern Regions.

The white cat laid beside him.

Thinking about Lin Jiufeng's words of rejection towards Cloud, she wanted to laugh.

She then realized that from now on, she would secretly be happy every time she remembered Cloud's expression after she was rejected by Lin Jiufeng.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Jiufeng looked at the white cat in doubt.

Why was she hiding at the side while trembling and smiling?

"I just remembered something funny." The white cat thought for a while before answering.

Lin Jiufeng nodded. A hint of desire appeared on his face as he said, "Now that we have resolved all of our problems here. We can finally take a look at the scenery in the Northern Regions…"

"We can finally venture into the region whom scholars deem to be as beautiful as Jiangnan."

He yearned for the scenery of different regions.

"Will we encounter any trouble in the Northern Regions?" The white cat asked.

"Let's cross that bridge when we get there." Lin Jiufeng was confident.

It was just like the internal strife of the Dao sects that he encountered along the way.

He would deal with the problems as they appear.

"How far are we from the Northern Regions?"

The white cat stood up and looked into the distance.

Lin Jiufeng replied, "We're still quite far from the Northern Regions, but no worries. We can take this journey slow since the Yuhua God Dynasty is already in good shape and in good hands."

"Emperor De is a very intelligent and wise man."

"We don't have to worry about the dynasty with him at its helm."

"Naturally, we can take our time traveling over to the Northern Regions."

He wasn't in a hurry.

To be honest, he could easily reach his destination if he wanted to.

But then he would be unable to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Lin Jiufeng wanted to drive the carriage and look at the beautiful scenery—the sun, the moon, the mountains—and the rivers.

Look at how the mountains were red and the forests were dyed red.

Look at the verdant river and the struggle of the hundred barges.

Look at the eagles soaring toward the sky and the fishes sinking to the bottom of the sea.

Look at the myriad tribes competing for freedom.

Of course, Lin Jiufeng also wanted to find places where he could sign in at.

'After leaving the Cold Palace and the imperial capital, there are only a handful of places where I was able to sign in at…'

'In the past few days, other than signing in at Dalin Temple, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, and the Northern Mountains Ancient City, I didn't manage to sign in somewhere else.' Lin Jiufeng thought silently.

'This can only mean that the sign in opportunity will only appear if I was standing in a unique location, place, or if I was standing before a unique building or its entrances. Once I'm at the Northern Regions, I must explore some of its no man's lands.' Lin Jiufeng decided in his heart.

The difficulty of finding places to sign in at made the Land of Extreme Negative Energy more precious in Lin Jiufeng's eyes.

After all, when he was still in the Cold Palace, he could basically sign in every day.

The Cold Palace was a good place to sign in.

But ultimately, the Land of Extreme Negative Energy beneath the Cold Palace was better than it.

'When I have the chance, I should go back and take a look. I keep feeling that I haven't emptied out the sign in opportunities in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy just yet.' Lin Jiufeng frowned and pondered.

When he left the Cold Palace and the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, there were still many tombs underneath.

Lin Jiufeng signed in at one of them every day and received many valuable treasures and techniques.

But he didn't touch any of those tombs themselves.

He just left them there.

The next time he returned, he had to take a look at what was inside those tombs.

Lin Jiufeng made up his mind.

Yuhua God Dynasty, Imperial Capital.

In the huge Imperial Capital, other than the area around the Cold Palace, the other places were bustling and full of life.

The strength of the Yuhua God Dynasty could no longer be underestimated.

Even without Lin Jiufeng, it was still a force to be reckoned with.

After all, Princess Yulin, the son of the Millennium Sword God, Monk Fusan, and the war machine were within the confines of the Yuhua God Dynasty. Each of them were powerful powerhouses in this brand-new era.

Especially the war machine…

As time passed, the spiritual energy in the world became richer and stronger.

When it was at its previous peak, the war machine could supposedly even fight against immortals.

Emperor De has been worried sick about the internal strife between the four great traditional Dao sects these days. But after hearing that the Northern Mountains Race had successfully repelled the Dao sects' forces.

Emperor De immediately wanted to rope in the Northern Mountains Race under his banner.

He had just sent the messengers out to communicate with the Northern Mountains Race when Emperor De fell sick.

After falling sick, he couldn't get up anymore.

Chapter 174: Ancient Dian Dynasty

Emperor De fell sick.

The Forbidden City of the Yuhua God Dynasty was placed on lockdown.

But despite the lockdown, the vast Forbidden City remained brightly lit throughout the night.

Contrary to the dazzling lights, however, the people inside kept walking in and out—their faces filled with dread.

The servants and maids were so nervous that they didn't dare to speak.

After completing their duties, they stood aside and trembled.

They looked at the imperial physicians, divine physicians, Daoist masters, and eminent monks who were coming and going into the Forbidden City.

Each one of these servants couldn't help but gulp a mouthful of their own saliva.

No one expected that Emperor De would suddenly fall sick.

After all, he was in his prime and was at the Human God Realm.

In addition, he had the best physicians under his banner.

This was simply unexpected.

Emperor De should've been healthy.

Multiple physicians would check his body every day after all.

Emperor De himself knew the importance of his body.

His body didn't belong to him.

It belonged to the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Emperor De wouldn't let any accident happen to himself.

But now, an accident—something that he feared the most—happened.

The court officials were shocked!

A group of court officials squeezed in.

Myriads of physicians were summoned to discuss possible solutions to Emperor De's illness.

After Emperor De fell sick, the Yuhua God Dynasty remained relatively stable.

But this was all thanks to Princess Yulin's actions, she stabilized the situation and calmly issued subsequent orders.

The Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the court officials all supported Princess Yulin. They wanted her to be Emperor De's temporary substitute in handling state affairs.

She took it upon herself to stabilize the chaotic situation.

Then, she sealed the news and gave a gag order.

Anyone who dared to leak the news would be killed without mercy.

On that night, dozens of scouts died in the Forbidden City.

But the subsequent days afterward, people still died—albeit quietly every day.

The Dark Net constructed by Emperor De displayed its might and found every spy or scout from enemy camps.

It effectively prevented the news from spreading out of the Forbidden City.

Therefore, the people of the Yuhua God Dynasty remained unaware that their Emperor De was currently conscious due to an illness.

They continued on with their daily lives—in ignorance and bliss.

Forbidden City, Great Council Hall.

Princess Yulin wore a brave look.

She asked solemnly, "Why exactly did Emperor De fall into a coma?"

In front of her was a group of famous medical experts, they were the best physicians that the current era could offer.

But all of them frowned and buried their heads in their thoughts upon hearing Princess Yulin's words.

Except for one…

One physician stood up.

Princess Yulin and the court officials immediately looked at him.

"Sai Huatuo, what exactly happened to Emperor De?"

The elderly Cabinet Chief asked solemnly as he supported himself with a walking stick.

If it weren't for the recovery of the world's spiritual energy, he would have long resigned from his post and retired. In reality, he wanted to retire but Emperor De didn't allow him to do so.

The latter reasoned that having an old minister in the court was the Yuhua God Dynasty's blessing.

It was only because of Emperor De's words that he didn't insist on resigning.

Upon hearing that something happened to Emperor De, he immediately cooperated with Princess Yulin to stabilize the state affairs and placate the court officials.

Everyone was looking at Sai Huatuo.

He was the number one physician in the imperial court of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

He was also a cultivator on the ancient path of medicine.

"Princess…"

"Cabinet Chief…"

"Emperor De's state isn't because he was poisoned or sick. I've also discussed this with my fellow colleagues for a long time. There's a huge chance that—" Sai Huatuo spoke word by word, weighing each word carefully, afraid that he would say something wrong.

After all, this matter was simply too great for him to speak without much thought.

It involved Emperor De, the Yuhua God Dynasty's stability, and the safety of its citizens.

Thus, Sai Huatuo didn't dare to speak carelessly.

"What chance?"

The murderous aura on Princess Yulin's face turned heavy, making her look like a god of slaughter as she looked very ferocious.

But in the blink of an eye, she suppressed her emotions with all her might.

"It's because of a parasite!" Sai Huatuo replied solemnly.

"A parasite? What do you mean?" Princess Yulin asked.

"In the previous era, the Central Plains frequently changed dynasties. But the dynasties outside of the Central Plains and on its borders lasted for a long time. The longest dynasty that I know was the Ancient Dian Dynasty!" Sai Huatuo explained.

"Ancient Dian Dynasty?" Princess Yulin frowned.

She didn't recognize such a dynasty.

The other court officials also shook their heads.

"The Ancient Dian Dynasty is King Xian's dynasty…" The son of the Millennium Sword God from the old era suddenly came out of the shadows and spoke up. "It is often said that King Xian was an immortal that had always ruled over the Ancient Dian Dynasty. My father once had the chance to go to the Ancient Dian Dynasty before back then."

"The women there are different from the Central Plains and are very strange in their mannerisms and general etiquette…"

"In addition, they are masters of handling parasites."

Using the resources of the Yuhua God Dynasty, the son of the Millennium Sword God from the old era had already recovered from his injuries. Fortunately, he wasn't an ingrate.

Thus, to express his gratitude to Princess Yulin…

He decided to become her subordinate.

Princess Yulin displayed great trust in this swordsman who had once defeated her.

On the off chance that he might have an idea as to what was happening to Emperor De, she brought him here for the meeting.

"You're saying that my brother was secretly harmed by this Ancient Dian Dynasty?"

Princess Yulin asked with a cold look.

The swordsman didn't speak.

He looked at Sai Huatuo.

"It's not that simple…"

"For them to be able to do this to Emperor De, they must've come into contact with him. Considering that, I can't imagine how powerful that person from the Ancient Dian Dynasty who managed to escape detection from so many experts of the Yuhua God Dynasty…"

Sai Huatuo shook his head. "The more days Emperor De spent in a coma, the more dangerous it would be for him. We must start our investigation as soon as possible."

"You're right, let's investigate!"

"Investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Investigate the entire Forbidden City, the entire imperial capital, left no stone unturned!"

"We must find the person who secretly harmed Emperor De. There aren't many people who could've come into contact with Emperor De before he fell into a coma. We can narrow the list of suspects down. Don't let any of them escape!"

Princess Yulin announced coldly.

She unabashedly exposed a portion of the Dark Net before the court officials.

But this was also her form of deterrence against the dynasty's enemies.

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, many people dispersed like ghosts in all directions.

They disappeared as if they had never appeared before.

Emperor De had already handed over his control over the Dark Net to Princess Yulin. Thus, she was able to seamlessly command them to do her bidding.

"Yes, we should investigate this matter in detail!"

"But for the time being, everyone should just stay in the Forbidden City."

"Let us tell a white lie to the outside world and tell them that we will be taking a break to talk about the liberal arts examination papers of this batch of graduates from the many martial temples." The Cabinet Chief solemnly gave his proposal.

As soon as he spoke, no one dared to oppose him.

Every court official of the Yuhua God Dynasty respected this old man very much.

Princess Yulin spoke to Sai Huatuo. "I will have to trouble this divine physician to take care of Emperor De day and night."

"It's simply our duty to take care of patients, Princess…"

"Emperor De is an excellent emperor. We will do our best." Sai Huatuo agreed.

The others agreed too.

Just as they were about to return to the chamber where Emperor De was recuperating, a Buddhist light filled the air and a monk walked out from it.

He walked straight into Emperor De's palace.

He didn't hide his presence at all!

In an instant, the imperial guards, bodyguards, and many powerhouses stirred into action.

"Wait! He's one of us—" Princess Yulin recognized the monk and shouted, stopping them.

The person who came was none other than Monk Fusan.

The one who previously stopped Daoist Priest Daoyi in his tracks.

He rushed over in a hurry, not even bothering to hide his presence.

"It's over! It's over! I promised Senior that I would protect the emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty. Why did he suddenly fall into a coma? Isn't he too unlucky?"

Monk Fusan complained in his heart.

What's worse was that it took him quite a while to learn about Emperor De's collapse. After all, he was an injured monk who was still trying to recover from his injuries. Hence, he didn't even try to hide his presence as he directly paid Emperor De a visit while panicking.

He directly barged into the Forbidden City and arrived at Emperor De's palace.

And amidst the alarmed shouts of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, he grabbed Emperor De's wrist.

Just as he grabbed Emperor De's wrist, a black aura directly rushed out and transformed into a terrifying image that resembled an emperor.

"A monk from the mortal realm dares to offend the might of King Xian?!"

An angry roar reverberated throughout the surroundings.

Chapter 175: The Yuhua God Dynasty's Guardian Deity

Black smoke rushed out and transformed into the image of a majestic and terrifying emperor.

Rumble!

An angry roar reverberated afterwards.

The pressure coming from the emperor's phantom was so strong that everyone couldn't believe the scene in front of them.

When Princess Yulin witnessed the turn of events, she was furious. "As expected, there's a traitor in our ranks! That traitor harmed Brother Emperor!"

Sai Huatuo hurriedly pointed with his finger and shouted. "That is King Xian's parasite! We were right!"

"Cordon the surroundings. No one is allowed to leave. Those who dare to do so will be killed without mercy!" The Cabinet Chief acted decisively. His aged body erupted with a powerful and imposing aura as he gave an order to control the situation.

In the chamber, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the two princes, the palace maids, and the eunuchs all retreated and observed silently from the side.

Only Monk Fusan and the unconscious Emperor De were left in the chamber.

Furious, Monk Fusan took a deep breath and angrily rebuked, "This person is being protected by me—Lord Buddha! I don't care who the person behind you is. I have no business being afraid of those who only know how to hide in the dark…"

"Hurry up and come out!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Monk Fusan was truly furious.

If anything happened to Emperor De, he would be betraying his promise to that senior.

Even with his gentle personality, he directly addressed himself as Lord Buddha.

A perfect display of his confidence against his enemy.

Once Lord Buddha was angered, it was hard to say whether his opponent would live or die!

"What a bold bald donkey…"

"You even dare to offend King Xian?"

"You are simply too audacious!"

"King Xian has taken a fancy to the body of this human emperor and wants to use his corpse to return to the world of the living from the netherworld. He wants to create another god dynasty in the mortal realm to restore the glory of the Ancient Dian Dynasty."

Black smoke billowed as the condensed phantom continued its rant.

"The place where you are standing right now is the territory of a god dynasty in the mortal realm!" Princess Yulin rebuked angrily.

She used her finger as a sword as sword energy surged all over her body.

Her sword domain spread out, augmenting her already powerful strength.

She was already not far from the Boundless Realm.

"A god dynasty? Made by monkeys?"

The phantom looked at Princess Yulin and the others in disdain.

"I, Princess Yulin, hereby swear that if anyone from the Ancient Dian Dynasty dares to come into being within the confines of the Yuhua God Dynasty's, they will be executed on sight…"

"No matter where the Ancient Dian Dynasty attempts to rebuild, the Yuhua God Dynasty will travel thousands of miles to invade and destroy its remnants."

"Today, the Ancient Dian Dynasty dared to play so dirty against Emperor De…"

"Since that's the case, there will no longer be a place for you people in this world!"

Princess Yulin coldly announced.

As soon as her words came out, the court officials of the Yuhua God Dynasty became excited and echoed in excitement.

The Cabinet Chief said decisively, "The Princess is right!"

"There's no place for you people in this world anymore!"

"There's no place for you people in this world anymore!"

"There's no place for you people in this world anymore!"

…

The court officials, the Empress, and the Empress Dowager firmly supported Princess Yulin.

"You dare?!" The phantom was both furious and astounded.

It didn't expect Princess Yulin to be so domineering and decisive.

Since the Ancient Dian Dynasty wanted to reestablish itself and even wanted to borrow Emperor De's body to let King Xian return from his grave…

Then Princess Yulin would directly destroy the Ancient Dian Dynasty in retaliation.

Emperor De's reforms and actions over the years had obviously been too shocking for everyone. If not for his genius, why would the Ancient Dian Dynasty even take interest in his body as a possible vessel for their king's return to this mortal realm?

Wasn't it all because Emperor De was not only wise, and smart, but the aura of destiny on him was also simply too powerful?

"Back then, both the Ancient Dian Dynasty and King Xian were invincible existences that reigned over the world. It's Emperor De's luck that his body would house the great and invincible soul of King Xian…"

"Yet, you lot actually dare to be so ungrateful?!" The phantom rebuked.

"Bhante, there's no need for us to talk to this fanatic…"

"No matter how powerful his King Xian was, his journey ended in the previous era…"

"You have already been abandoned by the previous era, yet you still want to struggle for a comeback in this brand-new era. You people are simply desperate and shameless."

Princess Yulin coldly retorted.

She couldn't be bothered to listen to the phantom's words anymore.

Monk Fusan nodded.

His expression turned serious and he took a step forward.

Behind him, a Buddhist Kingdom appeared.

"Amitabha!"

Monk Fusan pressed his palms together and exclaimed a Buddhist proclamation as Buddhist light wrapped both Emperor De and the phantom inside.

In the Buddhist Kingdom, the images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas immediately appeared to suppress the phantom.

The phantom's expression changed.

It hurriedly retreated into Emperor De's body.

"Just you wait! King Xian will definitely obtain this human emperor's body. This time, King Xian will make a successful return to the mortal realm. You won't be able to stop him!"

The phantom put on a brave front, not daring to fight Monk Fusan head-on.

He used Emperor De's body as a protective umbrella to protect himself and prevent the parasite—which was also the foundation of his existence—from being destroyed.

Monk Fusan didn't dare to hurt Emperor De's body.

He looked at Princess Yulin helplessly.

"He's afraid that we might successfully destroy the parasite which is his raison d'etre inside Emperor De's body. He's now in hiding and I have no way of forcing him to come out. This stalemate is dangerous for us. This cannot continue."

Monk Fusan solemnly explained with a hint of helplessness on his old face.

"The parasite will eventually take complete control of Emperor De and devour his sea of consciousness. By then, Emperor De will truly become King Xian's mortal body!"

Sai Huatuo also stepped forward and warned.

Everyone immediately looked at Princess Yulin.

What should they do now?

"Bhante, is there really no solution at all?" Princess Yulin calmed down and asked Monk Fusan.

Monk Fusan thought for a while. "I don't have a solution, but I know someone who definitely has a solution for this."

Princess Yulin's eyes narrowed.

She knew who Monk Fusan was talking about.

Big Grand-Uncle!

Lin Jiufeng!

Princess Yulin finally understood why Monk Fusan helped Emperor De.

It turned out that Big Grand-Uncle truly had a hand on this matter.

"Do you know where he is?" Princess Yulin asked.

"I don't know." Monk Fusan shook his head.

Princess Yulin didn't know either.

She looked at the unconscious Emperor De and the expectant gazes around her.

All of a sudden, Princess Yulin found it hard to endure the pressure coming from their gazes.

But in the end, she could not possibly run away from her responsibility.

"Pass down the order!"

Everyone was rejuvenated as they stared at Princess Yulin.

What order?

"Let the world know that Emperor De is currently suffering from the effect of a parasite caused by the remnants of the Ancient Dian Dynasty. Tell the world that Emperor De is critically ill and in a state of comatose…"

"The world must also know that the Ancient Dian Dynasty is now the Yuhua God Dynasty's mortal enemy! Every remnant of the Ancient Dian Dynasty must be captured and immediately escorted to the Imperial Capital!"

"Pass down these orders, no more, no less!" Princess Yulin declared.

When her words fell, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Princess, isn't it a little risky to announce Emperor De's situation?" The Cabinet Chief asked.

"Once the news of Emperor De's plight comes out, those ambitious sects and people will definitely attempt to take advantage of the situation," a court official said solemnly.

"Your order will cause turmoil in the Yuhua God Dynasty."

"It will directly throw the world into an uproar."

The court officials objected.

They couldn't understand why Princess Yulin would give such an order.

Only Monk Fusan seemed to be in deep thought.

He seemed to have realized why Princess Yulin was passing down such an order.

"Yulin, what's your objective in announcing the news of your brother's current plight to the world?" The Empress Dowager asked solemnly.

The others also looked at Princess Yulin.

They all wanted to know what she was thinking.

Why was she trying to do such a thing?

Princess Yulin replied softly.

"I'm not planning on announcing Brother Emperor's plight to the world just because I want the world to know about his current situation—"

"—I want that person to know!"

"That person?" The Empress Dowager was dumbfounded.

"Yes, that person!"

"He's the only person who can change the world and he is also the guardian deity of our Yuhua God Dynasty!" Princess Yulin added.

As usual—she placed Lin Jiufeng—who was both her Teacher Master and her Big Grand-Uncle in high regard.

Chapter 176: Scram Out

When the news of Emperor De's illness was released, the world was thrown into an uproar.

The news spread like wildfire.

Many secret scouts in the Imperial Capital immediately spread this news and labeled it as extremely urgent. It was as if the news itself was the signal to winter's arrival.

A vast expanse of whiteness—representing everyone's shock—dyed the world.

Some of the major forces even found it hard to stand still.

To think that Emperor De of the Yuhua God Dynasty was actually critically ill.

Attacked by a parasite, he fell into a coma.

The powerhouses in the imperial capital must've been unable to deal with the ordeal, so they had no choice but to announce the news to the world.

In an instant, rumors flew everywhere.

Everyone started to talk about what exactly happened.

Some people even directly said that Emperor De was already dead.

Next, his two princes would start competing for the throne.

Some people also said that it might not necessarily be one of the two princes ascending the throne. Princess Yulin might occupy the position of the throne and become the Empress Regnant of the dynasty.

While some people even said that Princess Yulin herself was the one who attached the so-called parasite to Emperor De. They said that Princess Yulin had cooperated with the people from the Ancient Dian Dynasty.

Rumors were born rapidly as time trickled by.

Because of Emperor De's influence—half a day was all it took for the entire world to know about his plight.

When the common people heard the news, they found it hard to believe.

"That's our emperor, the Emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty!"

"So many people are under his banner with dozens, or maybe even hundreds of divine physicians on standby ready to take care of his body. How could someone like that fall sick, not to mention fall into a coma?

The common people voiced their doubts.

How could a mere parasite handle the joint effort of Emperor De's divine physicians?

But of course—considering where the news came from—many people started to believe that it was true.

"The news came from the Yuhua God Dynasty's Forbidden City! The Imperial Capital is currently on lockdown and under martial law. The Forbidden City is also currently being searched non-stop. They are leaving no stones unturned. This must be true!"

"That's right!"

"Emperor De ran out of luck this time. There are so many powerhouses born in this world every day thanks to the world's spiritual energy recovery. Even a powerful emperor like Emperor De would still find it difficult to constantly be on guard against assassinations and such."

"What a pity…"

"Emperor De is a good emperor, to say the least. He built those martial temples out of consideration for ordinary people like us. His reforms are also the best among those previous ones in history. But it's a pity that he's about to die despite being so young…"

The citizens at the bottom-rung of society thoroughly supported Emperor De.

After all, it was only when Emperor De ascended to the throne did they finally feel the benefits of the reforms and good politics.

Now that Emperor De was critically ill, many people silently prayed to their various gods and wished for the former's recovery.

Lin Jiufeng, who was heading to the north, passed by a city.

After entering the city, he heard people discussing the news from the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Emperor De was critically ill!

Lin Jiufeng immediately frowned.

"Emperor De was still fine when I left. Why is he suddenly ill?"

"What if it's just a wild rumor?" The white cat asked curiously.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

He wandered around the city.

People were discussing this matter everywhere. City officials included.

Their words made him unhappy.

Because so many people were talking about this matter, it soon became obvious that it was 100% true.

When even a small city so far away from the imperial capital knew about this matter, it meant that everyone in the Yuhua God Dynasty knew about it.

Lin Jiufeng stopped the carriage and casually grabbed a passerby. "Do you like this carriage?"

The passerby looked at Lin Jiufeng, dumbfounded.

"I just asked you if you liked it." Lin Jiufeng repeated.

The passerby looked at the exquisite carriage and the purebred black horse.

He stammered through his words. "I—I like it!"

"It's good that you like it. You can have it then."

Lin Jiufeng handed the horse carriage's reins to the passerby and turned around to leave.

The passerby was stunned. The bystanders were all dumbfounded too.

"W-w-wait! I can't afford the maintenance for—" The passerby shouted, looking aggrieved.

But Lin Jiufeng had already disappeared.

…

Lin Jiufeng was in a hurry!

He headed straight for the imperial capital at breakneck speeds.

Nothing must happen to Emperor De.

He was the successor to both Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming, the driving force behind the Yuhua God Dynasty's rise.

Lin Jiufeng helped him in the dark, but the person who really pushed for the Yuhua God Dynasty to become stronger step by step was still Emperor De.

"Emperor De is still in his prime, yet he was actually plotted against by some dogsh*t Ancient Dian Dynasty. But we cannot underestimate this Ancient Dian Dynasty, their origins are mysterious." The white cat mumbled into Lin Jiufeng's ear.

"No matter how mysterious and powerful they are, that was all in the previous era! In this brand-new era, the Yuhua God Dynasty reigns supreme! If they are dragons, they have to coil up for me; if they are tigers, they have to lie down for me!" Lin Jiufeng stated coldly.

Upon hearing the news about the Ancient Dian Dynasty's attack against Emperor De, the citizens of the Yuhua God Dynasty were furious. The remnants of the Ancient Dian Dynasty who had just come into being found it hard to live within the Yuhua God Dynasty's territories.

Lin Jiufeng had never even heard of the Ancient Dian Dynasty.

The books that Miss Hong gave him only recorded the sects and powerhouses of the Central Plains.

There were very few records of those forces outside the Central Plains.

There was not a single mention of the Ancient Dian Dynasty at all.

But no matter how powerful the Ancient Dian Dynasty, they should've not harmed Emperor De!

Lin Jiufeng used all of his might to rush toward the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Lin Jiufeng traversed thousands of miles in just ten breaths.

Back then, he had to spend a day traveling to Jiangnan from the Imperial Capital.

But today, he only used half a day to return to the Imperial Capital from the borders of the Northern Regions.

Imperial Capital, Forbidden City.

A day had passed since the announcement of Emperor De's plight.

The announcement in the morning spread throughout the world at noon.

The entire world was thrown into an uproar.

Time slowly passed and late afternoon eventually arrived.

The Forbidden City remained brightly lit and on lockdown.

It was strictly guarded with patrols investigating everywhere.

This afternoon, Princess Yulin decided to stand in front of Emperor De's palace.

She waited silently while looking into the distance.

Sai Huatuo and the others kept working to stabilize Emperor De's condition.

Even if they couldn't save Emperor De, they had to slow down the progress of the parasite.

But the results were minimal!

In the late afternoon, Sai Huatuo walked out of Emperor De's palace with clear exhaustion on his face as he said respectfully. "Princess, we tried our best, but we still didn't manage to hinder the parasite's progress in Emperor De's body."

"A large portion of his body has already been consumed by the parasite…"

"We are now sealing his acupoints with silver needles, but this is merely a stop-gap."

The Empress Dowager and the Empress turned pale when they heard his words.

Princess Yulin took a deep breath and said, "It's been hard on you all."

"We have no other choice but to wait for a miracle." Sai Huatuo sighed.

"A miracle will definitely happen!" Princess Yulin said firmly.

She looked into the distance.

The setting sun turned the clouds crimson, making them appear as if they were burning.

It was as if a terrifying existence was about to appear from the clouds.

The Cabinet Chief sat at the side and asked weakly.

"Princess, when will the guardian deity of our Yuhua God Dynasty arrive?"

After persevering and waiting for an entire day and night, the Cabinet Chief couldn't persist anymore. His old body was starting to crumble from the stress and anxiety.

Princess Yulin pursed her lips. She couldn't answer his question.

But suddenly…

Princess Yulin's eyes lit up.

She saw a figure walking out from the crimson clouds.

A resplendent light shrouded Lin Jiufeng, obscuring his appearance.

In a flash, Lin Jiufeng arrived in front of Emperor De's palace.

He walked past everyone.

Cabinet ministers, Cabinet Chief…

Princess Yulin, Empress, Empress Dowager…

Royal consecrators, a group of powerhouses…

Maids, eunuchs…

Everyone watched with their eyes wide open, but they couldn't quite look at Lin Jiufeng's appearance

Carrying with him the light of hope, Lin Jiufeng distorted the surrounding space so that no one could see his true appearance.

Lin Jiufeng walked to Emperor De's bedside.

His expression was cold as he looked into Emperor De's body.

A green worm that was as small as a human hair slowly crawled about in Emperor De's head.

"Scram out!" Lin Jiufeng shouted coldly and pointed with his finger.

Boom!

Chapter 177: Dying 10,000 Times

Lin Jiufeng's move was powerful enough to collapse the void.

But upon tapping Emperor De's glabella, his power condensed in a single point that seeped into Emperor De's sea of consciousness. It transformed into an energy that surveyed Emperor De's meridian in search of the parasite.

Lin Jiufeng made sure that Emperor De wasn't harmed as he was doing all these.

Boom!

But he was also very decisive.

The condensed energy transformed into a cage that swiftly enveloped the parasite.

He then pulled hard!

The parasite was directly pulled out.

It didn't matter how powerful nor how infinitely small it was.

In front of Lin Jiufeng, there was nowhere to hide.

Plap!

The parasite was captured by Lin Jiufeng and he directly smashed it onto the ground.

In an instant, black smoke filled the room as a furious roar sounded.

"Who is it?! To destroy the Ancient Dian Dynasty's plan… You deserve to die!"

The phantom hidden in the parasite appeared once again.

Lin Jiufeng watched coldly. The phantom was simply the amalgamation of a powerful existence's willpower hidden inside the parasite, it wasn't an independent personality. In short, it didn't have a mind of its own and was being controlled.

The parasite itself was quite powerful.

After being harshly pulled out by Lin Jiufeng, it wasn't injured at all.

It turned violent and vicious.

Its eyes turned bloodthirsty as it bared its fangs and brandished its claws.

"Ancient Dian Dynasty? King Xian? What are those?" Lin Jiufeng asked disdainfully.

"You dare humiliate King Xian?!" The phantom was enraged.

It stared at the hazy image of Lin Jiufeng, its bloodthirsty nature didn't recede at all. It completely looked like it wanted to devour Lin Jiufeng in his entirety.

"King Xian is someone who is standing at the border of becoming an immortal. You actually dared to humiliate him? You are truly bold!" the phantom said angrily.

"Since your King Xian is so powerful, why didn't he made a move on his own? To think that he would hide behind the curtains and send a small fry to occupy Emperor De's body…"

Lin Jiufeng sneered and acted doubtful.

"King Xian needs a vessel for his soul before he can come into being. It's this human emperor's honor to give up his body for King Xian!" The phantom remarked proudly.

"Honor your mother!" Lin Jiufeng cursed.

His eyes turned cold as he directly slapped down.

Bang!

The phantom was instantly shattered.

Lin Jiufeng's powerful strength wasn't something that it could match at all.

The phantom disappeared, but the parasite remained.

Lin Jiufeng captured the parasite and stared at it coldly.

"You can't kill me! I'm just an avatar made from willpower. King Xian is the true mastermind behind all of this! When King Xian comes into being, it will be the time of your deaths!" The phantom appeared once again.

It was still insufferably arrogant.

But Lin Jiufeng noticed that the phantom seemed to have grown weaker.

This slight reduction in strength made Lin Jiufeng sneer.

"Are you sure that I can't kill you?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"Of course!"

"Do you even know what you are holding?" The phantom looked at Lin Jiufeng in disdain.

Lin Jiufeng remained silent.

"The parasite in your hand is a puppet worm personally refined by King Xian. Immortal materials were used to refine it. Without King Power, that parasite cannot be destroyed."

The phantom laughed proudly.

King Power, this was a realm beyond the Boundless Realm.

In the current world, there shouldn't be anyone with such a cultivation base. The recovery of the world's spiritual energy wasn't fast enough to support such a terrifying existence just yet.

The peak of today's cultivation world was the Boundless Realm.

That was why the phantom laughed, it felt proud knowing that it couldn't die.

Lin Jiufeng calmly looked at the dark green parasite worm and said, "I may not be able to kill this parasite, but I can annihilate you easily."

"Really?" The phantom laughed out loud.

"Both me and the parasite you are holding right now are technically the same entity. If you can't kill that parasite, then you also won't be able to kill me. Are you sure you aren't daydreaming?" The phantom mocked Lin Jiufeng.

Outside the chamber, Princess Yulin and the others watched in anticipation. Lin Jiufeng could be said to be the hope of the Yuhua God Dynasty, the only person who could save Emperor De.

"You don't believe me?" Lin Jiufeng sneered.

"Come and kill me then! I want to see just how you will kill me…"

The phantom remained arrogant.

He was looking down on Lin Jiufeng's Boundless Realm cultivation base.

"War God Catalog!"

A Divine Grade cultivation technique that Lin Jiufeng received from signing in stirred into action.

This was the very first time that he was using it.

It was so powerful that it stunned and dazzled everyone who saw its first appearance in the world.

Rumble!

Lin Jiufeng opened his palm. Sharp light burst out from his five fingers.

It enveloped everything with its terrifying might.

It enveloped the parasite and the phantom.

"You are indeed very difficult to kill. You live in the body of the puppet worm. If the puppet worm isn't destroyed, you basically won't be able to die. You can revive indefinitely," Lin Jiufeng said coldly.

"But…"

"Haven't you noticed how your body shrinks every time you die?"

Lin Jiufeng asked.

The phantom's mind jolted.

It trembled.

Just as it was about to speak, the sharp energy in Lin Jiufeng's hand slashed over.

Boom!

The phantom was killed.

It happened in an instant, there was no room for resistance.

In front of the War God Catalog, the phantom couldn't even withstand a single blow.

But in the very next moment, the phantom recovered from its injuries.

"I can recover from any injuries for as long as I want! What you said was nonsense!" The phantom shouted angrily. It didn't believe Lin Jiufeng's words at all.

Bang!

Lin Jiufeng was too lazy to say any more words to the phantom.

The War God Catalog continued to display its might and it killed the phantom once more.

Even after its third revival, the phantom remained stubborn. "Even if you kill me thousands of times, I can still recover! If the puppet worm doesn't die, I won't die! You can trap me for a while, but you can't control me forever!"

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng watched coldly. Without saying a word, he killed the phantom once again.

The fourth time…

The fifth time…

The sixth time…

Every successive slash was very decisive, no movement was wasted at all.

The phantom recovered almost immediately every time it died. But after it died a more few times, it didn't leave the parasite's body anymore and just hid inside.

Unfortunately for the phantom, although Lin Jiufeng couldn't kill the parasite itself, he could still invade its body with his True Qi and force the phantom out.

He then continued to kill the phantom.

Lin Jiufeng was truly angry this time.

Outside the palace, Princess Yulin and the others silently observed the many deaths and resurrections of the phantom.

The phantom continuously died so fast that it couldn't react at all.

Even Princess Yulin wasn't able to react.

None of the onlookers could react.

When the son of the Millennium Sword God of the old era saw this scene, he exclaimed, "He's simply too powerful! It seems that he didn't use his full strength when he defeated me back then."

The son of the Millennium Sword God of the old era knew about Lin Jiufeng.

After all, he fought against Lin Jiufeng and was severely injured by the latter.

Initially, he was extremely unwilling and wanted to compete with Lin Jiufeng once again.

But now, his intent to battle Lin Jiufeng has disappeared.

Because he saw Lin Jiufeng killing the phantom 10,000 times in just two hours!

A total of 10,000 times.

The phantom was stubborn at the beginning and was full of confidence.

But now, it started to beg for mercy.

Panic filled the phantom's heart as it started to be afraid of Lin Jiufeng.

It was because after dying 10,000 times in Lin Jiufeng's hands, it noticed that half of its body had disappeared.

If this continued, the phantom understood that it would definitely suffer a true death.

"I surrender! Please… mercy! Spare me!" The phantom begged loudly.

"It's too late. I must kill you today. Didn't you say that you cannot be killed?"

Lin Jiufeng coldly snorted in derision.

Chapter 178: In front of the Cold Palace

After dying 10,000 times, the phantom's body shrank by half.

It knew that if this continued, it would definitely die.

Although it was only a part of someone's willpower, it still didn't want to die.

After living in the puppet worm for thousands of years, it gained its own independent thoughts and its own personality. It understood that if its progress continued, it would become an entity comparable to that of a human being.

But today, Lin Jiufeng destroyed its thousands of years' worth of progress in just two hours.

This was simply unacceptable to the phantom. It begged for mercy and cried out pitifully.

"Spare me! I failed to see your might! I'm a frog in a well!"

"Just treat me as if I'm a fart. An adult does not blame a child for its mistakes."

"Please! I don't want to die!"

The phantom's pleading didn't make Lin Jiufeng waver.

Lin Jiufeng decisively attacked and destroyed the phantom.

Death after death, and then revival after revival, made the phantom tremble in fear.

With every death, it could feel that it wasn't too far away from true death.

It simply wasn't willing to accept such an outcome.

Yes, it wanted to struggle and continue to live.

However, the phantom didn't expect that there was actually a terrifying existence like Lin Jiufeng in this brand-new world.

Lin Jiufeng hadn't reached King Power yet, but the latter could still kill it so easily.

Holding it with one hand and then killing it endlessly with the other.

Lin Jiufeng's level of strength in this brand-new world was simply unreasonably powerful.

"I can tell you everything about King Xian's plan! Please just spare my life!" After the phantom was killed once again, it begged for mercy and directly chose to betray King Xian.

Lin Jiufeng stopped.

This time, he didn't kill the phantom outright.

The higher-ups of the Yuhua God Dynasty were excited as they watched in anticipation.

"How did you and the puppet worm manage to get close to Emperor De?"

Lin Jiufeng asked coldly.

"It's Emperor De's personal eunuch! We first used the puppet worm to control him. Then, he brought the puppet worm in and approached Emperor De."

The phantom decisively sold out the mole within the imperial court.

Princess Yulin's eyes turned cold as she looked at the trembling old eunuch.

"I have suspected you, but I didn't expect that it would really be you…"

"You served Emperor De for decades. He trusted you so much, but how could you be the one to stab him in the back?" Princess Yulin gnashed her teeth in hatred.

"Princess, I was under control! I had no other choice!"

The old eunuch knelt and begged for mercy while weeping.

Pu!

But Princess Yulin didn't listen to his explanation.

She immediately killed him with a sword move as she spat coldly. "Your explanation does not matter, you still have to die today!"

Lin Jiufeng saw what happened and he soon retracted his gaze.

He looked at the phantom and asked, "How many people from the Ancient Dian Dynasty have already come into being? What's King Xian's plan? Where is he?"

Everyone curiously stared at the phantom.

In order to survive, the phantom became decisive.

"Only a few hundred members of the Ancient Dian Dynasty have come into being so far. They are all small fries that cannot be considered powerful even in the previous era. As for King Xian, he is still in his own tomb. It's impossible for him to revive on his own…"

"Back then, while the world's spiritual energy was already in decline. He died in the hands of an immortal. But he had long prepared everything before his death."

"King Xian brought all of the Ancient Dian Dynasty's powerhouses into his own tomb. He ordered them to accompany him to sleep so that they could protect his tomb. Of course, he also left many puppet worms and many contingency plans for his resurrection."

"I'm one of his contingency plans…"

"I am a portion of King Xian's willpower—or will."

"He placed me into a puppet worm to find the human emperor with the greatest accumulated destiny energy in this brand-new era. My task was to use the puppet worm and control that emperor for King Xian."

"Then afterwards, I have to plant King Xian's source energy into the human emperor's body so that King Xian could use the latter as his vessel for his rebirth."

"I did all of these in secret, I used a few of my own puppet worms to control several people with various security clearances…"

"The last of them was that old eunuch."

"Just like me, he was afraid of death, so he took the initiative to poison Emperor De with one of my puppet worms by letting Emperor De drink tea laced with it."

The phantom was afraid of death. He explained everything in detail.

Hearing this, Princess Yulin was furious.

She directly slashed out and cut the dead old eunuch's body into pieces.

"The defenses of the palace have to be strengthened…" The Cabinet Chief commented weakly.

Lin Jiufeng remained calm. He continued to ask, "Where is King Xian's tomb?"

"It's somewhere in the Northwest Territory. I don't know its exact location, because it's top-secret. In addition—the puppet worms and us—his contingency plans did not come into being close to his tomb," the phantom replied.

Northwest Territory!

The white cat thought to herself.

If not for this matter, they would have gone through the Northern Regions and arrived at the Northwest Territory by now.

"You planted King Xian's source energy in Emperor De's body?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"No, I didn't have enough time to do it. Those divine physicians sealed his meridians. I couldn't plant it at all. Thus, I could only choose to control Emperor De first. But before I could do that, you arrived and stopped me," the phantom replied rather sincerely.

When the doctors heard this, they heaved sighs of relief and smiled.

Their hard work hadn't been in vain.

"Lord, I'm really telling you the truth! I've told you everything! I don't dare to hide anything at all! I only ask that you spare my life." The phantom begged for mercy.

If he had a physical body, he would've already kneeled in front of Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng watched coldly.

Then, he reached out and tossed the puppet worm to Princess Yulin.

"When Emperor De wakes up, let him see how much trouble this small puppet worm has caused to the entire Yuhua God Dynasty. Leave that thing in the palace and be on guard at all times. Don't let anything similar to this happen again." Lin Jiufeng advised.

Princess Yulin caught the puppet worm and said respectfully, "I understand, Teacher Master."

Under the gazes of everyone, Princess Yulin didn't reveal that she was Lin Jiufeng's grandniece.

Instead, she regarded herself as his disciple.

All of her sword techniques were imparted to her by Lin Jiufeng.

It wasn't a problem for her to address herself as his disciple.

Lin Jiufeng didn't refute her words. He got up and left.

The space around him distorted.

No one could see his face clearly.

They could only see the resplendent light around him disappear into the night.

Once Lin Jiufeng left, everyone looked at Emperor De.

Emperor De—who had been in a coma for a few days—slowly woke up.

"Just now, there was a ball of holy light shining upon me. I felt very comfortable. I don't feel tired at all even though I was so deep in my sleep." Emperor De said weakly.

Princess Yulin walked in and said, "My Teacher Master came."

Emperor De instantly understood that his Big Grand-Uncle returned to save him.

He couldn't help but sweat.

In the end, his Big Grand-Uncle still had to save him.

Just like in the past, whenever the Yuhua God Dynasty encountered a problem that it couldn't solve on its own, it was always Lin Jiufeng who helped them in the end.

"Rest well." Princess Yulin patted Emperor De's palm.

Emperor De nodded and said, "I want you to command the imperial court until next month. Let me take a good rest."

Ever since his ascension to the throne decades ago, Emperor De never truly rested.

But now that his life force was greatly damaged, he wanted to rest for an entire month.

…

After Lin Jiufeng lent his hand to Emperor De, he didn't immediately leave the Imperial Capital.

He returned to the Cold Palace where he lived for the past 80 years.

The dilapidated Cold Palace was greatly in contrast to the bustling Imperial Capital.

Wild grass was already growing at the entrance.

Compared to when Lin Jiufeng came in back then, the Cold Palace had become even older.

Some of the buildings even looked like they were about to collapse.

But a lamp flickered tenaciously in front of the Cold Palace—its light gave warmth to the palace.

The Light of the Homes!

Chapter 179: Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill

The Light of the Homes flickered, but it didn't look very powerful.

Inside the lamp was a weak flame hanging in front of the Cold Palace, but despite being continuously battered by the elements, it never went out.

What this lamp used as fuel wasn't oil, but the smoke and fire from the homes of the people living in this world.

The fire from inside the lamp suppressed the Cold Palace and the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. Its influence caused people to subconsciously leave the place when they got close.

Thanks to the Light of the Homes, no one was curious about such a dilapidated courtyard in the huge Imperial Capital.

Stepping in front of the Cold Palace once again, the white cat became excited.

It ran straight into the courtyard wall.

"Compared to traveling the world with you, I still prefer the quiet life here," the white cat said.

"I also prefer our quiet life here." Lin Jiufeng nodded.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't sign in at the Land of Extreme Negative Energy anymore.

Lin Jiufeng would've stayed in the Cold Palace forever.

As long as he could become stronger, living in the Cold Palace wasn't a problem for Lin Jiufeng.

"It's sad, but everything here has already become so dilapidated…" The white cat ran into the courtyard where Lin Jiufeng used to live.

She then saw the frost jade bed.

Unfortunately, even the frost jade bed couldn't escape the ruthless passing of time. It had become nothing but a slab of rock. The frost jade aura inside had already vanished.

The once clean courtyard was now overgrown with weeds.

The weeds grew wildly and rampant.

Wherever one's eyes laid, one would see decay.

Lin Jiufeng slowly walked in and stood in front of the courtyard. With his hands behind his back, he muttered, "A house still needs people to live in it. Only when there are people living in a house will it not decline…"

"Otherwise, even the most exquisite houses will fall into ruins without the maintenance of the living."

Meow ~

The white cat called out regretfully.

Lin Jiufeng looked in the direction of the two cherry trees that he had planted himself.

Weeds were everywhere.

The cherry trees had long died of old age.

Its roots had become rotten and inundated with weeds.

The two cherry trees that represented both Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming were gone.

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but sigh.

The Cold Palace was still the Cold Palace, but the things inside of it had changed.

He continued to stroll around the deserted Cold Palace.

The garden that Lin Jiufeng had cleaned up previously was now a messy grassland.

The aisle that Lin Jiufeng had cleaned up previously was now filled with vines.

Back then, there were no snakes, insects, rats, or ants in the area.

But now, they were everywhere.

The white cat walked on the wall and jumped into Lin Jiufeng's arms.

She was no longer interested in the Cold Palace.

"Let's go and take a look at the Land of Extreme Negative Energy." Lin Jiufeng turned around and went down, entering the Land of Extreme Negative Energy through the narrow passageway.

In the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, tombs could be seen everywhere.

Those who were killed in action in this place back in the previous era were still here.

And at the moment Lin Jiufeng stepped into the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, a line of words appeared before his eyes.

[You have re-entered the Land of Extreme Negative Energy. Do you wish to Sign in?]

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows. "This is possible too?"

He had once entered the Land of Extreme Negative Energy after going out.

He didn't receive the sign-in opportunity back then.

But today was different.

"Sign in!" Lin Jiufeng decisively signed in. He knew that he had nothing to lose by signing in.

In addition, he was also curious.

He had become stronger since his return. He wondered—just what kind of reward would he receive after signing in this time?

[Sign-In successful. Received Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill!]

"Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill?" Lin Jiufeng was confused.

Boom!

In the very next moment, a vast stream of information rushed into Lin Jiufeng's mind.

He immediately understood everything about the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill.

The Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill was a powerful technique from hell.

Unlike cultivation techniques, treasured skills were stronger and more suitable for the comprehension and usage of cultivators at the Boundless Realm and above.

At the start of cultivation, cultivators practiced mental techniques.

After condensing a Golden Core, one could then practice cultivation techniques.

After cultivation techniques were treasured skills.

Lin Jiufeng's treasured skill belonged to hell.

Techniques like these might not be called "treasured skills" in the mortal realm, but all of them possessed potential and strength greater than cultivation techniques.

"This is my first treasured skill!" Lin Jiufeng remarked in joy.

After receiving the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill, his strength could then rise to yet again—another level.

Tonight, Lin Jiufeng didn't go anywhere.

He sat cross-legged at the entrance of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy and stayed for the night.

He mastered the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill overnight, allowing his strength to rise.

There were 32 steps in the Boundless Realm. Lin Jiufeng was 7 steps into the realm last night, but after mastering the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill, he climbed hard and arrived at the 15th step overnight.

This progress alone was enough to prove how precious treasured skills were.

"This Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill isn't so simple…"

"All of my cultivation techniques can be integrated with the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill to form a brand-new treasured skill. This is the true power of the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill."

Lin Jiufeng was both shocked and surprised when he discovered the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill's true capabilities.

Even in hell, the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill was an extremely rare treasured skill.

It could change the attributes of other cultivation techniques and increase their might at the same time. It was considered to be an overpowered technique.

"I didn't expect to receive such a huge surprise upon coming to the Land of Extreme Negative Energy again." Lin Jiufeng stood up and sighed.

"What surprise?" The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in confusion.

"Nothing has changed around here, isn't that a surprise?" Lin Jiufeng responded with a smile.

"What surprise?" The white cat mumbled, confused.

Lin Jiufeng ignored her and walked into the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

The vast Land of Extreme Negative Energy was buried deep underground and surrounded with complete darkness.

But for Lin Jiufeng who once lived here for decades, traversing the area wasn't a problem at all.

Lin Jiufeng walked around inside but he didn't find anything.

He received no other second chance to sign in.

Thus, he shook his head regretfully.

"Is my journey in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy this time going to just end like this?"

Lin Jiufeng frowned.

Lin Jiufeng felt that something was amiss.

But he couldn't find it.

After strolling around, Lin Jiufeng eventually went out.

But when he walked to the tomb of the Millennium Sword God of the old era, he remembered that his son was still looking for the former's corpse.

Therefore, Lin Jiufeng dug out the corpse of the Millennium Sword God of the old era and brought it out to give to his son.

After all, he was now Princess Yulin's subordinate.

Lin Jiufeng had to give him some benefits.

When Lin Jiufeng left the Land of Extreme Negative Energy and arrived in front of the Cold Palace, he saw a figure standing in the distance.

Emperor De!

Yesterday, he was still very weak and fragile.

Today, he looked much better.

Although his face was still pale, he seemed to be in good spirits.

He came alone to the Cold Palace on his own.

"I knew that Big Grand-Uncle would be here, so I came here directly."

When Emperor De saw Lin Jiufeng, he directly knelt, kowtowed.

He expressed his gratitude to Lin Jiufeng before he explained why he was in the Cold Palace.

Lin Jiufeng waved his sleeve and a breeze swept through a pavilion, cleaning it up.

"Come here and sit down…"

"You're the Emperor of this dynasty, why are you kneeling?"

"What you are doing is inappropriate." Lin Jiufeng chided. He seemed somewhat unhappy.

"It's normal for juniors to kneel and worship their elders," Emperor De smiled and said, "in the eyes of outsiders, I'm the high and mighty Emperor De, but in front of Big Grand-Uncle, I'm just a useless junior. When something happens, Big Grand-Uncle still has to help me resolve it."

"If not for Big Grand-Uncle, I would have died long ago."

Lin Jiufeng looked at Emperor De and asked, "Why have you come to look for me today?"

"Big Grand-Uncle, do you still remember Demon King Jiao from decades ago?"

Emperor De asked.

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.

Demon King Jiao? How could he not remember?

Back then, it was because of the Heaven Raising Bull that Lin Jiufeng didn't kill Demon King Jiao. The Heaven Raising Bull's display of brotherhood made Lin Jiufeng spare Demon King Jiao's life. But as punishment, he decided to seal and suppress the latter.

"Why? Is there a problem with Demon King Jiao?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

Chapter 180: Save Me

Back then, Lin Jiufeng suppressed Demon King Jiao beneath the rain by the Wei River.

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race were very arrogant back then.

Other than Demon Sage Pingtian, the other six were all planning to make a move against the Yuhua God Dynasty.

But after Lin Jiufeng suppressed Demon King Jiao, they no longer dared to do anything. They hid in the dark and decided to silently recover their strength while waiting for an opportunity for revenge.

Over the past few decades, the Yuhua God Dynasty's rapid development never faltered.

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race didn't dare to cause any trouble at all.

But after hearing Emperor De's words, Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but doubt.

"When the news that I was critically ill went out, the powerhouses of this world began to make their moves. The Seven Great Sages naturally didn't want to be left out. They wanted to take advantage of the situation and save Demon King Jiao." Emperor De explained.

This was the news sent by a scout from the dynasty's Dark Net.

Emperor De discussed the news with Princess Yulin.

In the end, Emperor De personally came to ask for Lin Jiufeng's help.

"The remaining six of the Seven Great Sages are going to rescue Demon King Jiao?"

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows. He was a little surprised.

Back then, he gave Demon King Jiao a promise. As long as he broke the array formation with his own power, he would naturally be able to come out.

But Lin Jiufeng wanted Demon King Jiao to rely on his own capabilities, not to gather his brothers to break the array formation.

"Yes…"

"Our investigation confirmed that the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens, the Great Sage of the Moving Mountain, the Great Sage of the Blowing Wind, the Great Sage of the White Clothed, and the Great Sage of the Dreaming have all made their appearances by the Wei River…"

"They have joined forces with the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, the Heaven Raising Bull, to break the seal and save the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao." Emperor De reported.

"Is that it?" Lin Jiufeng asked calmly.

Emperor De looked at Lin Jiufeng quizzically.

What did Lin Jiufeng mean by "is that it"?

"It's understandable for them to save Demon King Jiao. There are many powerhouses in the world today, and I've suppressed that Demon King Jiao for decades. I can understand his feelings of wanting to be free." Lin Jiufeng explained.

"If they are only here to save people, then there's no need to worry about them. Let them save Demon King Jiao. What other matters are there?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

"If they are only there to save their brother, then there is no need to worry about them. Let them save Demon King Jiao. What else?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

Emperor De nodded in understanding.

He cleared his throat and reported. "We haven't discovered any abnormal movements from them yet. It's just that the Wei River is only 10,000 miles away from the Imperial Capital. To these demon powerhouses, 10,000 miles isn't that far…"

"They are still a huge threat to the Imperial Capital."

"It's fine…"

"Don't you still have the war machine and even a group of subordinates under your command to protect the Imperial Capital? Monk Fusan is also here. There's no need to worry about those so-called Seven Great Sages," Lin Jiufeng said calmly.

"Big Grand-Uncle. I'm not worried about those Seven Great Sages, I'm worried about the other powerhouses that are bound to take advantage of the Seven Great Sages' threat to take action against our dynasty…"

"I'm most worried about those powerhouses hiding in the dark."

Emperor De shared his worries with Lin Jiufeng.

"With me around, this world will not fall into chaos!" Lin Jiufeng looked placidly at Emperor De.

His figure exuded boundless confidence.

"With Big Grand-Uncle's words, there's no need for me to worry anymore…"

Emperor De was overjoyed.

Lin Jiufeng waved his hand in dismissal. "Your body is still very weak. Your life force has been greatly damaged and you have to recuperate well. Don't die young like your father. That will be a huge loss for the Yuhua God Dynasty."

"With Grand-Uncle around, the Yuhua God Dynasty won't fall into chaos…"

"What happens to me isn't important as long as Big Grand-Uncle is around." Emperor De said.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and replied, "Don't even think like that…"

"To the Yuhua God Dynasty, I'm just a passerby. I'm a cultivator who wants to pursue the summit of the cultivation world. If there's a day where I have to enter seclusion for hundreds of years, the Yuhua God Dynasty will still have to protect itself against its enemies."

"Protecting the dynasty is the responsibility of the Emperor, civil, and military officials."

"I've helped you stabilize the Yuhua God Dynasty on account of your Grandpa and Father Emperor."

"You have to work hard on your own too…"

"Don't take my help for granted."

Lin Jiufeng pointed out a fatal flaw in Emperor De's mindset.

Emperor De's expression turned serious. "Actually, I've been working hard on what you just said. The Martial Temple is the place where I will nurture the future of the Yuhua God Dynasty."

Emperor De's expression turned serious.

"I've been working hard all this time, Big Grand-Uncle…"

"The martial temples I've built shall be the foundation of the Yuhua God Dynasty and its greatest aide to its future survival."

"You've done well." Lin Jiufeng nodded. "All right, you should go back now and rest."

"Goodbye, Big Grand-Uncle." Emperor De got up and said goodbye.

He left obediently.

In the huge Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng was left alone—

—with a cat.

"Meow, are you really going to let that Demon King Jiao go?"

The white cat asked and jumped onto the table.

"Of course…"

"Haven't you realized that the world's spiritual energy recovery rate has slowed down yet again over the years?" Lin Jiufeng asked.

The white cat shook its head in confusion. "I don't think so…"

"I'm already at the Grotto-Heaven Realm and I even have my own domain now."

"The world's spiritual energy recovery rate has surely reached its peak, right?"

"No, the recovery rate has become slower compared to 30 years ago when I was still in the Cold Palace." Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

Back then, when the world's spiritual energy recovery rate increased, the upper limit of cultivation also increased to the Martial Sage Realm.

Then to the Human God Realm, Grotto-Heaven Realm, and the Supremacy Realm.

In just a few decades, the upper limit broke through three realms.

But in the 30 years that he spent in seclusion and signing in silently in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, the upper limit only increased by one realm.

The Boundless Realm!

This was what Lin Jiufeng meant when he said that the world's spiritual recovery rate has slowed down.

Even Lin Jiufeng himself had yet to make a breakthrough to the peak of the Boundless Realm.

It was easy to understand that the world's spiritual energy recovery rate has indeed slowed down.

"So that is why you want to let that Demon King Jiao go?" The white cat paced back and forth on the table. Her figure looked elegant, her fur was snow-white, and her eyes were as brilliant as the starry sky.

"Demon King Jiao has always wanted to reintroduce the true strength of the monster race to the world. I think I should let him give it a try. As long as he doesn't create trouble for the Yuhua God Dynasty, I can turn a blind eye to his actions and let him leave." Lin Jiufeng nodded.

…

Thousands of miles away from the Imperial Capital, there was a healthy and wide river.

Wei River.

In the past, Wei River wasn't that famous.

Both the Yangtze River and the Yellow River were much more famous than it.

But decades ago, a ferocious flood dragon that could control the clouds and rain was suppressed beneath the Wei River. The sight of the flood dragon itself was magnificent enough, and it was bound to attract tourists that bolstered the Wei River's reputation.

Those who knew the story behind the flood dragon in Wei River knew that the Yuhua God Dynasty was the one who did all of these to the flood dragon.

Hence, they didn't dare to approach.

But even those that didn't know the story behind the flood dragon's suppression also didn't dare to approach.

Because in the Wei River, there was an extremely powerful bull demon that easily trampled a Supremacy to death.

Moreover, the Supremacy it defeated was a Supremacy with a domain.

This made everyone stay away from the Wei River.

Whenever merchant ships passed by occasionally, the passengers would always cower in fear.

It was because they could see that in the vast Wei River, a green Heaven Raising Bull would occasionally appear on the surface of the water to absorb huge amounts of spiritual energy from the world.

Fortunately, as long as the merchant ships didn't deliberately cause trouble, the bull demon didn't bother them.

But the Wei River has become turbulent recently.

With the appearance of—Demon King Jiao, Demon King Dapeng, Demon King Gui, Demon King Yuan, Bai Zilong, Yun Shanhai—and Demon King Pingtian.

The Seven Great Sages of the Monster and Demon Race were finally reunited.

But in contrast to the freedom that the other six enjoyed, the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover, Demon King Jiao couldn't move at all.

"Hurry up and pull these swords out so I can be free!" Demon King Jiao barked impatiently.
