Princess Yulin brought the four of them to see Emperor De.
After explaining the situation, Emperor De was overjoyed. He went forward to talk to the four of them cordially. At the same time, he talked about how to improve the Yuhua God Dynasty and how to let the people live a good life. He also talked about how to eliminate the influence on the Yuhua God Dynasty brought about by the powerhouses who had recovered from the previous eras.
After finishing this series of matters, the sky gradually darkened, but Emperor De felt that he hadn’t spoken enough. He pulled the four powerhouses of the Void Returning Realm to have dinner together and chatted throughout the night. He pulled out the magnificent blueprint of governing the nation and explained it in detail.
Princess Yulin left early. She knew that it would take time for them to discuss this. She still had to go back and continue comprehending the nomological powers of the sword.
After cultivating with Lin Jiufeng for a period of time, her improvement speed was visibly increasing. Until now, Princess Yulin had already touched the threshold of the Spirit Platform Realm.
It should be known that not long ago, she had just broken through to the King Realm.
On the one hand, the recovery of the spiritual energy had greatly improved, making cultivation easier.
On the other hand, Lin Jiufeng gave her good pointers. He dissected all the difficulties and analyzed them for Princess Yulin to see. As long as Princess Yulin followed the prescribed order, there wouldn’t be any problems.
These factors superimposed continuously, resulting in Princess Yulin’s improvement.
When she returned to the Cold Palace, it was already night.
Seeing Princess Yulin return, Lin Jiufeng asked, “How’s the discussion between Emperor De and them?”
“Very good. They should be having dinner together now. They even plan to have a long talk throughout the night to discuss state affairs. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Brother Emperor so excited,” Princess Yulin said happily.
“This is all thanks to the little white cat. She brought back four Void Returning Realm cultivators. With this, the top combat power of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s higher-ups has been made up for by quite a lot. The dynasty truly has the ability to suppress the world now. It no longer relies on just a war machine,” Lin Jiufeng said.
When the white cat heard Lin Jiufeng praising her, she became a little reserved. Then, she straightened her body, obviously asking Lin Jiufeng to continue praising her.
She and her pride were waiting for Lin Jiufeng’s praise.
But Lin Jiufeng stopped talking.
Princess Yulin praised her instead. “This time, we have to thank the little white cat. You’re really smart. You managed to lure here four people of the Void Returning Realm at once. You’re too amazing.”
Although she didn’t receive Lin Jiufeng’s praise, Princess Yulin’s praise was fine too. The little white cat lay down lazily and said with a smile, “These people are also doing this for your Big Grand-Uncle’s sake. It wouldn’t be possible to just rely on me, a cute cat.”
“Alright, go back and comprehend the path of the sword.” Lin Jiufeng stopped Princess Yulin from thanking him and waved her to do her own thing.
Princess Yulin bowed and then went to comprehend the path of the sword.
Her body and mind were relaxed now. The Yuhua God Dynasty had four more Void Returning Realms and was even more stable now. She didn’t have to worry anymore and could focus on her cultivation.
Lin Jiufeng looked at Princess Yulin’s back without saying anything.
Princess Yulin had definitely chatted with Bai Tiandi. It would be easy for her to find out if Bai Tiandi was married or not. She now knew that Lin Jiufeng was lying to her.
But Princess Yulin pretended that nothing happened. Other than her and Lin Jiufeng, no one else knew about this matter.
She helped Lin Jiufeng save his face. This little lass really knew how to respect others.
Lin Jiufeng’s lips curled up. His granddaughter was really cute.
Thinking of this, Bai Tiandi became even more despicable. Princess Yulin actually took a liking to him.
But this time, Lin Jiufeng didn’t plan to stop them. He would just let nature take its course. Princess Yulin was already at the age to get married. If she encountered a suitable person, he would let them communicate on their own.
When he was thinking of this, Lin Jiufeng didn’t care at all that he was actually so much older than Princess Yulin but still single.
…
After the four Void Returning cultivators joined the Yuhua God Dynasty, Emperor De’s confidence soared. All sorts of things that couldn’t be pushed forward before could now be carried out.
Especially when it came to pursuing the Taichu God Dynasty, he wasn’t giving them any chance to escape!
Hundreds of people from the Taichu God Dynasty had recovered, but only a few were left after the killing.
In the battle at Burial Mountain, all those that had recovered there were wiped out. Only a few people who had gone out to handle matters earlier were lucky enough to escape this calamity. But they were also scared witless. Looking at the Burial Mountain that had become a withered mountain, they were very frightened and angry.
“The Yuhua God Dynasty is going too far!!!”
Among the remaining three, a slightly younger person roared in a low voice. He didn’t dare to raise his voice at a place far from Burial Mountain.
Anger rushed to their heads, but they didn’t dare to show their faces. The gap between them and the Yuhua God Dynasty was too big. The Yuhua God Dynasty was like a prehistoric ferocious beast, extremely terrifying. They only had three so-called survivors now, and if they were discovered, they would be dead.
The other two old men watched in despair and anger.
“The problem now is very serious. Lord Nine and Lord Eight were too impulsive. Not only did they ruin the good situation, but they also angered the Yuhua God Dynasty, causing them to display their powerful side. That war machine is simply terrifying,” an old man in green clothes said.
“Now, Burial Mountain has been discovered and the people who have recovered have been killed. We were lucky enough to escape with our lives. We can’t act rashly. We have to plan before acting. Think carefully about how we can take revenge on the Yuhua God Dynasty and even overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty to take revenge!” Another old man in black clothes said solemnly.
“In this situation, how can the three of us take revenge on the Yuhua God Dynasty?” The young man asked in despair.
“Young child, don’t tell me you think that this is the only place where the people of the Taichu God Dynasty were sealed?” the green-robed elder said.
“He’s still too young. His thoughts are too one-sided,” the black-robed old man said.
“Are there any other places of sealing?” The young man’s eyes lit up, like a drowning person who caught a floating straw.
“Of course. The ancestors are smarter than you think. A mature person wouldn’t put all the eggs in one basket. The ancient people even said that a crafty rabbit has three burrows. Now, the Yuhua God Dynasty has only found Burial Mountain. They haven’t discovered anything else. As long as we go over and wake them up, there’s still hope for everything,” the green-robed old man said firmly.
“That’s great.” The young man cheered. Now that this straw had become wood, there was no need to feel despair.
“Because Burial Mountain is the tomb of the royal family of the Taichu God Dynasty, some people were sealed here back then. But the ones sealed here were majorly weak members of the royal family. The two lords were asked to guard this place. Since this place has been exposed, we can’t go there. Let the remaining people continue sleeping. They aren’t very powerful either. When we defeat the Yuhua God Dynasty, we will come and wake them up,” the black-robed old man said.
“That’s right. There are many lords in other places. Back then, the eighteen lords of the Taichu God Dynasty guarded the four directions. Each of them was at the Void Returning Realm. Now, wouldn’t it be easy for us to awaken the other lords and then deal with the Yuhua God Dynasty?” The green-robed old man whispered excitedly.
“Then, let’s hurry up and leave. I can’t wait a moment longer. We must destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty!” The young man urged.
“Let’s go. I know of a place. Let’s disguise ourselves and go there quietly. Let’s not stir up trouble,” the green-robed old man said and stood up.
“I know. I will suppress my character,” the young man guaranteed.
He knew that a little impatience would spoil great plans.
“Let’s go.” The black-robed old man led the way. The three of them were no longer looking at Burial Mountain. This place had already been discovered, and there were spies watching in the dark. Going to Burial Mountain was no different from seeking death.
The three of them disguised themselves and headed south. They passed the imperial capital and arrived at Tianzhu Mountain.
On the borders of the Qingzhou Territory, Tianzhu Mountain was a very famous mountain. Since ancient times, countless scholars had left behind their calligraphy here.
“Will our lords choose such an obvious place?” The young man looked at the majestic Tianzhu Mountain and licked his lips.
“When the people of the world pay attention to Tianzhu Mountain, they look at the steepness, the peak, and the beautiful scenery. No one will notice the changes at the bottom of Tianzhu Mountain, nor will anyone dig into the land here. Therefore, this place is very safe,” the green-robed elder said.
“Yes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Let’s go and wake up the lord who is sealed here.” The black-robed old man walked forward in large strides.
Just as he said, there were many people on Tianzhu Mountain, but they all went to the high mountains to look at the steep mountains, the scenery, and the layers of mountains.
There was no one at the bottom.
Under the guidance of the green-robed old man, they went deep into the mountain and arrived at an extremely well-hidden cave. There was also an array formation at the entrance of the cave.
“It’s the array formation of the Taichu God Dynasty. Move aside. I’ll unseal it.” The green-robed elder waved his hand.
The other two quickly retreated while keeping an eye on their surroundings.
The green-robed old man formed hand seals and constantly changed them. He formed hand seals one after another and delved deep into the array formation.
This array formation had not been triggered for a long time. At this moment, the sound of it being broken could be heard.
Rumble!
In the depths of the cave, thunder rumbled. It was very terrifying.
“Your unfilial descendant respectfully welcomes the Lord’s return!” The green-robed old man immediately knelt down, trembling in excitement. This was the backup plan of the Taichu God Dynasty. Recalling what had happened during this period of time and the grievances he had suffered, tears flowed down his old face as he shouted loudly in grief.
“Your unfilial descendant respectfully welcomes the Lord’s return!”
“Your unfilial descendant respectfully welcomes the Lord’s return!”
The black-robed old man and the young man knelt down. Tears of grievance and sadness flowed from their eyes as they shouted loudly.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
A vibrating sound came from the dark cave and reverberated around.
Then, crisp footsteps sounded. Under the excited expressions of the three people, a handsome man walked out.
He had a tall and straight body, snow-white skin, and an evil look on his face. He was filled with the beauty of a woman, but he was indeed a man.
“Greetings, Lord Seven!” the green-robed elder said excitedly.
This was Lord Seven of the Taichu God Dynasty, a heretic. He was a male but had the look of a female since he was young, and no one liked him. They thought that he wasn’t manly, so he was neglected. However, he was the youngest Void Returning Realm in the Taichu God Dynasty. Moreover, he cultivated an ancient cultivation technique, making him both male and female, becoming strange and unfathomable.
Lord Seven looked at the three kneeling people and frowned. His voice was cold and clear, like a woman’s. “What happened? In this era of spiritual energy recovery, why are there only the three of you?”
“Lord, we… we encountered a great catastrophe…” The green-robed old man lamented. He explained what happened in detail, especially about the Yuhua God Dynasty’s brutal massacre of the people from the Taichu God Dynasty who had recovered. He also informed Lord Seven of the war machine that was extremely cold and cruel. No one was a match for him.
Lord Seven’s hands were white and slender. He looked at his palms carefully. He seemed indifferent, but the coldness in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
It wasn’t until the green-robed old man finished speaking and wailing that he pleaded loudly. “Lord Seven, the Yuhua God Dynasty has gone too far. You can wake up the other lords. This time, you must teach the Yuhua God Dynasty a deep lesson and let them know what the foundation of a god dynasty is!”
Lord Seven’s white and slender fingers suddenly curved. With a little force, his sharp nails were like sharp blades that could cut through enemies.
Lord Seven said coldly, “This is really a case of the powerhouses sleeping and clowns being kings. They relied on a war machine to act so domineeringly. Aren’t they looking down on the Taichu God Dynasty too much?”
“Lord Seven, the Yuhua God Dynasty still has an ancestor hiding behind the scenes. He should also be in the Void Returning Realm,” the black-robed old man added.
“Even if he is, so what? When the Taichu God Dynasty was at its peak, there were a hundred Void Returning cultivators, dozens of them being royalty. Wouldn’t it be easy to destroy a small Yuhua God Dynasty?” Lord Seven sneered in disdain.
They only had two people at the Void Returning Realm and dared to call themselves a god dynasty and even wantonly slaughtered people from the Taichu God Dynasty?
It was only at this stage of the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy that they gained the upper hand.
“Lord Seven is right. What right does a small Yuhua God Dynasty have to treat the people of our Taichu God Dynasty like this? This world originally belonged to our Taichu God Dynasty. We must take it back.” The young man’s blood boiled when he heard this. He looked at Lord Seven in admiration and stood up to shout.
Lord Seven looked at him, smiled, and nodded slightly.
The young man became extremely excited.
“Then, Lord Seven, shall we go and wake up the other lords first? Then, we can go together to destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty and forcefully announce the return of the Taichu God Dynasty,” the green-robed old man asked excitedly.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. The time in this world is just right. Our Taichu God Dynasty can replace the Yuhua God Dynasty and then seize the opportunity. As long as we can produce one False Immortal, we can sweep away the awkward situation of the previous era and suppress the world!” Lord Seven shook his head.
“Then, how do we wake up the other lords?” the young man asked in puzzlement. He even especially looked at the hole behind Lord Seven.
“I’m alone here. Other than Lord Eight and Lord Nine who are guarding Burial Mountain, the other lords have all chosen their own sealing locations. They are not in the same place.” Lord Seven explained simply.
“Then, Lord, how do we wake them up?” the green-robed old man asked.
“I shall summon them with a summoning arrow!” Lord Seven condensed an arrow with his energy, then injected all his strength into it and suddenly shot it out.
Boom!
The arrow pierced through the clouds and directly exploded in the endless void, causing countless people to tremble.
The powerhouses all raised their heads and looked at the sky. Something seemed to have happened there.
But when they looked carefully, they couldn’t see anything.
Rumble!
In the Southern Wilderness, under the Immortal Peak, a thousand feet waterfall cascaded down. It was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the sound was deafening as if a magnificent army was galloping.
This was originally a famous historical site, but now, it was trembling as if something was about to break out of its seal.
Boom!
In the very next moment, an explosion sounded. A figure appeared. It was Lord Eighteen of the Taichu God Dynasty. He looked up at the sky and received the message from Lord Seven. He sneered.
“This era is really weak. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can call themselves a god dynasty and become the emperor. Don’t they know if they are worthy or not?” Lord Eighteen mocked, not taking the Yuhua God Dynasty seriously at all.
He first closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in front of the waterfall, motionless. His black hair danced in the wind, and his skin was crystal clear and radiant. Even though he knew that the Yuhua God Dynasty had a war machine, his expression remained calm as he silently understood the Dao of this era.
War machine?
That was just a dead object. What was there to be afraid of?
In a boundless sea of trees, a person crawled out of the soil. Shaking off the dust on his body, he looked brand new. His eyes were like lightning as he looked at the void.
“Yuhua God Dynasty… Hmph.” This person smiled in disdain and didn’t take it to heart at all. He wandered in the dark forest, comprehending the nature of the world, observing the falling leaves, and listening to the running water. Everything was very casual.
Being Lord Five of the Taichu God Dynasty, he wasn’t worried about the Yuhua God Dynasty.
What was there to be worried about in a trashy god dynasty that could be easily destroyed?
He shall first comprehend some of the characteristics, spirit energy, and Great Dao of this era. Then, he would make a move and teach the Yuhua God Dynasty a profound lesson.
In the Jiangnan area, someone crawled out of the tomb.
In the Northwest Territory, someone rose up in the sandstorm.
In the Central Plains, someone recovered from inside a divine source stone.
The Taichu God Dynasty, which had been standing strong since the last era, truly displayed its terrifying foundation at this moment.
Some of the appearances of these Void Returning Realms were silent while some shocked the world. Some stayed unknown and some acted ostentatiously…
They instantly shook the peaceful world.
Countless people were running about and discussing.
Everyone was saying that this was because the Yuhua God Dynasty had wiped out the people of the Taichu God Dynasty in Burial Mountain, causing the Taichu God Dynasty to be enraged. Now that the powerhouses had recovered, they were coming to destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Some people supported the Taichu God Dynasty, thinking that with so many Void Returning cultivators, wouldn’t they be able to destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty?
Some people supported the Yuhua God Dynasty, saying that the hidden ancestor of the Yuhua God Dynasty had yet to appear.
Neither side could convince the other. They were in a heated argument.
This war was the standoff between the two dynasties.
It had nothing to do with the sects.
This was a collision between god dynasties, so all the major factions in the world were watching and not interfering.
In reality, the eighteen lords of the Taichu God Dynasty had all awakened, and they wouldn’t need or want to rely on external forces anyway.
Even if Lord Nine and Lord Eight were killed.
But there were still sixteen of them in the Void Returning Realm. The Taichu God Dynasty was still very powerful.
Although it wasn’t comparable to the hundreds of Void Returning cultivators during the peak of the previous era, the other Void Returning cultivators were all outsiders. They stood together with the Taichu God Dynasty because of benefits.
Moreover, sealing oneself and waiting for the next era wasn’t a smooth sailing matter either.
Some people succeeded and came to this era.
Some people failed and directly died in the endless darkness.
All of these required secret techniques and resources.
Hence, it was a miracle that all eighteen lords of the Taichu God Dynasty made it alive into this era.
Even though two were killed, there were still sixteen.
It was more than enough to destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty!
It was also at this moment that the Yuhua God Dynasty responded. They summoned the war machine back and announced to the world that the Taichu God Dynasty was a heretic and must be wiped out.
The war began.
The people of the Taichu God Dynasty walked towards the imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty. In unison, they thought that the best solution was to kill Emperor De, destroy the war machine, and destroy the ancestor behind the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Then, the Taichu God Dynasty shall replace the Yuhua God Dynasty and become the only god dynasty in the world.
…
After Lin Jiufeng, who was presiding over the Cold Palace, heard this news, he calmly drank his tea, not in a hurry at all.
“Big Grand-Uncle, the enemy has sixteen Void Returning cultivators,” Princess Yulin said worriedly.
“What are you afraid of? You have to believe in Bai Tiandi and the others,” Lin Jiufeng said.
“But there are only four of them. Together with the war machine, they are only at the five Void Returning Realm,” Princess Yulin said.
“When cultivators fight, it’s not a competition of numbers. Rest assured and practice your sword quietly.” Lin Jiufeng patted Princess Yulin’s shoulder and looked at the sky leisurely.
“The wind is blowing!”
