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