Lin Jiufeng’s sword slashed out.
His aura was completely different from yesterday.
Behind him, Bai Tiandi’s eyes narrowed.
He realized that today and yesterday’s Lin Jiufeng were two different people.
Clang!
When Lin Jiufeng’s sword move was unleashed, the aura exuded at the start of his attack already surpassed his previous peak yesterday.
Moreover, as the sword energy slashed out, everything in the world was blocked by the light as it directly slashed at Old Man Luo.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The void itself was cut open.
Both mountain and sea descended, bringing with them the powerful aura of Old Man Luo.
The scene was mind-numbing.
But Lin Jiufeng’s sword energy was even more terrifying.
It directly moved against the current and faced the huge phenomenon of both the mountain and sea. It collided against them.
In front of Lin Jiufeng, Old Man Luo’s mountain and sea attack were as fragile as tofu.
They couldn’t withstand a single blow and were directly cut apart.
Then, the sword energy swam in the air like a dragon.
It appeared in front of Old Man Luo and bore down.
Old Man Luo’s expression changed drastically.
He hurriedly reached out and drew a circle in the air, forming a defensive barrier.
After the first defensive barrier appeared, Old Man Luo stretched out his hand and expanded it to 99 defensive barriers.
“Barriers, block!”
Old Man Luo shouted and pushed the defensive barriers in front of him.
Lin Jiufeng watched coldly. His eyelids drooped as he directly slashed down with his sword.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The defensive barriers directly exploded layer by layer without any resistance.
Out of the 99 defensive barriers that Old Man Luo had set up, 90 were instantly shattered.
He was so shocked that he was dumbfounded.
He was amazed by the power of Lin Jiufeng’s strike.
In the very next moment, the remaining nine layers of defense also shattered.
Crack!
Old Man Luo turned pale with fright. He forcefully withstood Lin Jiufeng’s sword strike by frantically manifesting his True Qi to block.
Boom!
But he still couldn’t withstand it.
He was directly sent downwards.
He was struck from the sky and dropped in front of Lin Jiufeng.
Coincidentally, his legs fell first.
Dong!
After he smashed down, the ground shook a few times.
A huge pit appeared, dust flew everywhere.
When the dust dissipated, Lin Jiufeng stared at the pit.
Old Man Luo was kneeling in the huge pit. The area around the huge pit had split apart and was filled with cracks.
He looked up and saw Lin Jiufeng looking at him calmly.
The latter was still holding the sword in his hand.
“Do you still insist on leaving?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
Old Man Luo took a deep breath.
Then, he stood up, patted the dust off his body, and shook his head.
“I suddenly feel that the Mountain Sea Realm is a nicer environment to live in.”
“Is that so? Go back then.” Lin Jiufeng curtly replied.
Because a line of words appeared before his eyes.
[Defeated Old Man Luo and Sign-In for the Mountain Sea Seal!]
“Mountain Sea Seal?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.
A piece of memory entered Lin Jiufeng’s mind.
Then, he understood everything about the Mountain Sea Seal.
‘The Mountain Sea Seal was originally used to seal the door of the Mountain Sea Realm. This time, I won’t have to worry about the people inside coming out in droves. I can just release one person every day.’ Lin Jiufeng was both surprised and delighted.
This treasure sure was a pleasant surprise.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t expect to receive such a good item for defeating Old Man Luo.
This softened Lin Jiufeng’s attitude.
He didn’t choose to kill the old man.
Old Man Luo was about to return to the Mountain Sea Realm, but he immediately saw Bai Tiandi in the distance.
He asked in surprise, “Why is he here then? He also came from the Mountain Sea Realm.”
“I defeated him just like you,” Lin Jiufeng replied.
“Then why didn’t he return to the Mountain Sea Realm?” Old Man Luo asked quizzically.
“He wants to stay in this world. I gave him the permission to stay, but he is not allowed to leave this oasis.” Lin Jiufeng explained.
“Then I shall stay too. I’ll accept the same terms as him.”
Old Man Luo didn’t plan on going back anymore.
He squeezed out a smile and looked at Lin Jiufeng.
“Why?” Lin Jiufeng was really curious now.
Bai Tiandi said that he would rather stay behind and be watched by Lin Jiufeng than return to the Mountain Sea Realm.
Lin Jiufeng understood that the young man might just be tired of the Mountain Sea Realm’s scenery.
But now that Old Man Luo also wanted to stay, Lin Jiufeng couldn’t help but suspect that there was a problem in the Mountain Sea Realm.
“You don’t know?” Old Man Luo surreptitiously glanced towards Bai Tiandi.
“I didn’t tell him.” Bai Tiandi placed his hands behind his back.
“Then let me tell you the reason. In return, let me stay here,” Old Man Luo said to Lin Jiufeng.
“All right.” Lin Jiufeng nodded in agreement.
“The Mountain Sea Realm itself isn’t that big. There are millions of citizens in the Mountain Sea Realm. Although the spiritual energy and cultivation resources in the realm are abundant, those above the Boundless Realm only treat the realm as a cage.” Old Man Luo sighed.
“A cage?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.
“That’s right!”
“Although the spiritual energy in the Main World has a cycle of weakening and recovery every few thousand years, making the cultivators suffer indescribably—the Heavenly Dao of the Main World is complete.”
“The Heavenly Dao in the Mountain Sea Realm is incomplete…”
“There are also too many restrictions on the powerhouses in the Mountain Sea Realm. I would rather stay here and comprehend the complete Heavenly Dao than return to the Mountain Sea Realm even with its abundant spiritual energy. It’s uncomfortable to live there.”
Old Man Luo explained.
“I see.” Lin Jiufeng suddenly understood.
So that was the case…
“Then you can stay here…”
“When the powerhouses of this world have caught up with you lot, I will let you two go out to explore this world.”
Lin Jiufeng waved his hand and let the two of them leave.
Old Man Luo sighed helplessly. He couldn’t defeat Lin Jiufeng, so he had no choice but to obey.
But he didn’t feel hopeless either…
He knew that after a careful comprehension of the Main World’s Heavenly Dao, he would be able to defeat Lin Jiufeng and leave this place.
Old Man Luo had the same plan as Bai Tiandi.
He was very smart and chose to stay in the ancient city.
Lin Jiufeng knew what they were thinking, but he really didn’t take their thoughts to heart.
Could they become stronger faster than him?
Rumble!
In the very next moment, someone was about to come out from the door of the Mountain Sea Realm again.
Old Man Luo and Bai Tiandi, who were about to enter the ancient city, watched curiously…
They wanted to know who was about to come out.
But Lin Jiufeng didn’t give the person a chance to come out.
He directly activated the Mountain Sea Seal.
“Only one person can come out every day!” Lin Jiufeng stated coldly.
He could only sign in and receive a reward once a day.
Defeating two people consecutively in a day would be a waste of reward.
He wouldn’t receive any benefit after defeating the second person.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Mountain Sea Realm directly sealed the door of the Mountain Sea Realm.
Although the sealed door was still slowly opening, people inside couldn’t come out anymore.
The Mountain Sea Seal happened to correspond to the Mountain Sea Realm.
With this seal, the people inside wouldn’t be able to open the door without Lin Jiufeng’s consent.
When Old Man Luo and Bai Tiandi saw this, they instantly lost interest.
They turned around and left in the direction of the ancient city.
As for Lin Jiufeng, he started cutting wood and building his own courtyard nearby.
He planned on signing in here for a long time.
He wanted to become stronger here just like what he had done in the Cold Palace.
For Lin Jiufeng, this was the lifestyle that he wanted.
Just like in the Cold Palace, he wanted a slow pace in life.
“Little Cat, we will settle here.”
Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat and said.
“As long as you are around, anywhere with you is my home.” The white cat sweetly smiled.
