Upon shouting out the name ‘Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation’, Lin Jiufeng was stunned speechless.
From the direction of the array formation patterns on the Broken Cliff Mountain Range and the flow of the veins, Lin Jiufeng deduced this shocking array formation.
When the white fog completely shrouded the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
When the night completely disappeared into the earth.
When all traces disappeared.
Lin Jiufeng stood still and reached out to touch the soil on the ground.
This time, the feeling was completely different from before.
This time, a resplendent light appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s palm. Then, the light retracted and transformed into a small array formation.
The prototype of the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation.
Lin Jiufeng stared at the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation carefully. The shock in his eyes became greater and greater.
He saw how terrifying the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation was.
This was an array formation that could devour a person’s spirituality, life, and even defy the heavens and change fate, converting a living creature into a new creature.
The Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation had completely transformed the army of the Immortal Court from creatures of flesh to undead creatures.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, what are you looking at?” Ouyang Xiu walked over and asked curiously.
“Why did you ask us to stand still just now, Great Emperor Jiufeng?” Monk Anan asked curiously.
The two of them stood there for a long time. Only when the white fog completely rose did they walk over.
Then, they saw Lin Jiufeng half-squatting, holding a handful of soil in his hand, in a daze.
Lin Jiufeng raised his head and released his grip. The soil flowed down from his fingertips as the array formation slowly faded in his palm.
“What clues have you guys found?” Lin Jiufeng asked directly without mentioning the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation.
“Nothing. I walked in that direction and almost left the Broken Cliff Mountain Range, but I still didn’t find anything.” Ouyang Xiu shook his head.
“Me too.” Monk Anan nodded.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, what have you discovered?” Ouyang Xiu asked curiously.
Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and asked, “Do you guys know about the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation?”
Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan looked at each other and shook their heads together.
“What array formation is this?” Ouyang Xiu asked.
“I’ve read all the Buddhist scriptures and I know a little about array formations, but I’ve never heard of such a strange array formation.” Monk Anan had a dumbfounded expression on his face.
Lin Jiufeng stopped asking and said, “Since there are no more secrets in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range and the army of the Immortal Court has been wiped out, the two of you should leave the Western Desert now and go to the Yuhua God Dynasty to find Emperor De. Tell him that I recommended you guys to go. Emperor De will arrange duties for you guys. Your new lives are just around the corner. As long as you guys don’t betray the Yuhua God Dynasty, all ties you have with the past will be cut.”
Lin Jiufeng still didn’t tell them about the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation.
They were just small characters under the great era. Although they were both immortals, they didn’t know much, nor did they have much ability. Letting them help Emperor De was the best choice.
Lin Jiufeng chose to stay here alone and observe the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation carefully.
Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan didn’t dare to reject Lin Jiufeng, so they left together.
It was only when they left the Broken Cliff Mountain Range that Ouyang Xiu came to his senses. He looked at the Broken Cliff Mountain Range behind him that was covered by white fog, feeling as if he had come to a new life.
“Now, we are completely tied to the Yuhua God Dynasty and the Human Race,” Ouyang Xiu said with emotion.
“That’s right. I’ve never left the Western Desert in my entire life. I didn’t expect that I would have to leave my hometown now,” Monk Anan said with a complicated expression.
“I’m sorry, I implicated you. If I didn’t come to look for you, you wouldn’t have had a conflict with Great Emperor Jiufeng,” Ouyang Xiu apologized.
“It’s okay. This is just fate. The current outcome is actually not bad. At the very least, we are still alive. We can escape the past and start anew.” Monk Anan shook his head.
“The current me really should change my life,” Monk Anan lamented.
“Why do you think so?” Ouyang Xiu asked.
“In this life, I guarded the Great Thunderclap Monastery and lived for 20,000 years. All these years, I’ve been reading Great Emperor Shakyamuni’s scriptures diligently. From the beginning of exploring the teachings inside the scriptures, I gradually became obsessed with it. If it weren’t for Great Emperor Jiufeng, I would have continued to live such a life.”
“I can’t walk Great Emperor Shakyamuni’s path, but I can start a new life. I can escape the restrictions of the past and start afresh. This can be considered a rebirth to me.”
“Cut off my obsession, let go of myself, leave the Western Desert, go to a larger, further, and vaster world, take a look at the scenery that I have never seen before, the things that I have never seen before, and the new ideals of the new era.” At this moment, Monk Anan had gained a lot of insights. He could finally bid farewell to the past him who was being tortured by his inner demon.
Ouyang Xiu patted Monk Anan’s shoulder and laughed out loud. “Our lives have been full of trouble and misfortune. We were once a pair of childish children in the Western Desert. After going different paths and becoming cultivators who have been through the vicissitudes of life now, we are walking together once again. The word ‘fate’ cannot be described clearly and is really marvelous. Then, let’s go take a look at the biggest God Dynasty of this era together.”
Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu walked together into the distance. What welcomed them was the new life of the new era.
…
At this moment, in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
Lin Jiufeng sat upright on a huge rock. Golden patterns appeared on his palm. It was the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation.
This array formation gave Lin Jiufeng a sense of danger.
But he had no way to investigate.
Even if he completely dug open the Broken Cliff Mountain Range, the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation also wouldn’t appear.
Because it existed in every corner of the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
A rock, a handful of soil, or a tree in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range. These were all part of the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation.
To Lin Jiufeng, it was impossible to find it.
He walked slowly around the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
Using his feet to measure the Broken Cliff Mountain Range, what Lin Jiufeng saw was the Broken Cliff Mountain Range from outside, but inside, it was an extremely huge array formation.
“Who exactly set up this?” Lin Jiufeng asked himself.
He was certain that the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation here wasn’t formed naturally.
Moreover, this wasn’t the complete version.
The might of the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation hadn’t reached its peak yet. The array formation that was set up with the Broken Cliff Mountain Range as the foundation was just a prototype.
But it still couldn’t be underestimated. To those below the Immortal King Realm, its might was definitely a terrifying one.
The true peak of the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation was definitely very terrifying.
Lin Jiufeng felt that even an Immortal King would die under this array formation.
He suddenly raised his head and saw through the sky outside the white fog.
Night arrived!
The white fog retreated, and the black fog erupted. In an instant, ghosts cried and wolves howled. It sounded extremely mournful.
At this moment, Lin Jiufeng clearly saw the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation being activated.
An invisible force seeped out of the soil, trees, and stones of the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
This invisible force was heading towards Lin Jiufeng.
It wanted to surround Lin Jiufeng.
Then, this force would modify him.
The Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation was subconsciously activated.
“Is it because I killed the undead creatures that the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation was activated?” Lin Jiufeng guessed.
He looked around calmly. He didn’t panic, nor was he afraid.
Because the moment the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation was activated, something in Lin Jiufeng’s body moved.
The General Appointing Platform!
Boom!
The General Appointing Platform directly erupted. Boiling hot energy directly drowned down, instantly sweeping the surrounding energy of the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation away.
Then, the General Appointing Platform appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng, blocking the energy of the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation from all directions.
The two sides formed a boundary, facing each other, neither giving in to the other.
Lin Jiufeng was surprised to discover that the General Appointing Platform that seemed to be omnipotent in the past was actually unable to do anything to this Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation. The General Appointing Platform could only fight back against it and ensure that Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t be affected.
Lin Jiufeng stood in the center, unaffected.
Looking at the conflict between the General Appointing Platform and the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation, a line of words suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.
[Do you want to Sign-In before the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation?]
This line of words made Lin Jiufeng’s eyes light up. He said without hesitation, “Sign in!”
[Sign-In successful. Received the activation method of the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation!]
Lin Jiufeng was stunned when he saw this.
Then, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“What’s the use of having the method to activate the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation?”
“It’s not like I can set up a Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation myself.”
“Moreover, I can’t move away the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation here either.”
Lin Jiufeng complained.
He had previously thought of moving the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation here.
But after testing it out, he decisively gave up.
The Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation used the entire Broken Cliff Mountain Range as its foundation, greatly increasing its might. It was definitely not something that Lin Jiufeng could move away with his current strength.
“Forget it. Since I’ve signed in to it, I’ll just take it. It’s better than nothing. What if it’s useful in the future?” Lin Jiufeng helplessly took down this activation method in his memory.
Then, he watched as the General Appointing Platform and the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation faced each other. Neither side was willing to submit to the other.
Lin Jiufeng smiled bitterly. There was nothing he could do. Although he had 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers and his strength was enough to defeat most Mystic Immortals, facing these two powerful things with unknown origins, his power was insufficient to affect them.
For this reason, he chose to wait.
When the sun came out of the mountain and the night faded, during the short period of time when the white fog and the black fog interacted, Lin Jiufeng decisively put away the General Appointing Platform and quickly left the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.
Since he couldn’t do anything to this array formation, he chose to leave. Not like he was trapped here, right?
This was the first time he, the Great Emperor Jiufeng, ran away from something.
His gains from this trip to the Western Desert were quite big, but the problem was that Lin Jiufeng’s initial hope had still been dashed.
The reason why he came to the Western Desert was because of the descendant of the God Race. White Dragon had told him that there was a hidden powerhouse here.
He even said that there was a big secret hidden in the Western Desert.
Hence, Lin Jiufeng came.
But now, he only saw one powerhouse.
It was Cangyang Jiacuo, the living Buddha of the Great Thunder Temple from 20,000 years ago.
He didn’t see anyone else.
Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan weren’t considered powerhouses. Even at their peak, they weren’t even half as powerful as Cangyang Jiacuo.
Moreover, the Great Thunderclap Temple that Lin Jiufeng longed to visit had actually become a relic 20,000 years ago.
Now, Lin Jiufeng felt that the greatest gain from this trip to the Western Desert was the discovery of the Life-Reversing Great Dao Array Formation.
Although he didn’t know what use it had now, this didn’t stop Lin Jiufeng from thinking that it was his biggest gain in this trip.
Standing on the land of the Western Desert, Lin Jiufeng sighed with emotion.
His gains this time were really huge.
His cultivation base had broken through to the Perfected Immortal Realm, and he had comprehended 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers and signed in for a series of treasures.
In the end, he even met Great Emperor Shakyamuni.
Even though what he saw was a fleeting glance from 100,000 years ago, it still gave Lin Jiufeng a huge surprise.
“The waters in this world are too deep. I thought it would be calm and peaceful, but who knew that there were undercurrents surging beneath? It’s so complicated that it’s indescribable. I’m still confused now, and I can’t find many clues either. I can only wait for the people in the dark to make a move and react accordingly.” Lin Jiufeng felt bitter in his heart.
In order to protect the Yuhua God Dynasty and the current situation of the Human Race that hadn’t been easy to come by, he was really fighting alone against the dark hands of 10,000 years ago, 20,000 years ago, and tens of thousands of years ago.
The key problem was that these dark hands weren’t from the same faction. There were dark hands from the God Race, the Immortal Court, the Human Race, the Buddhist sects, and others that Lin Jiufeng hadn’t discovered yet.
In this era, they were preparing to make a move.
“However, this era is the era of the Great Emperor Jiufeng. It’s my era. In this era, I will suppress all enemies!”
Lin Jiufeng looked firmly at the land of the Western Desert before turning around to leave.
…
Returning to the land of the Central Plains from the Hengduan Mountain Range, what Lin Jiufeng saw was a harmonious and peaceful life of the people.
The reign and reforms of the Yuhua God Dynasty became increasingly popular with the people.
Including the previously arrogant Myriad Races. Now, they really had no confidence at all in going against the Yuhua God Dynasty. They obediently integrated into the Yuhua God Dynasty and became an ethnic of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
The Yuhua God Dynasty also divided the Myriad Races into categories.
For example, the Golden Lion Race. They and the Wild Lion Race were integrated into the ethnic group, just that they were of different races.
The Saber-Toothed Tiger and the White-Faced Tiger were also placed under the same ethnic group but of different races.
Hence, after the Myriad Races were integrated into the Yuhua God Dynasty, together with the Human Race, they formed 56 ethnic groups.
The Yuhua God Dynasty had also completely unified the main continent. Its territory was vast and there were also many territories overseas. The prestige of the Yuhua God Dynasty was even spread into the distant seas.
Because the Yuhua God Dynasty wanted to solve the various problems within so that the common people could become rich and strong, it didn’t have the energy to conquer the seas.
Lin Jiufeng walked along the main continent. What he saw and heard were all joyful voices.
The existence of the Martial Temples could be seen even in remote regions.
When the Yuhua God Dynasty was developing national policies recently, it directly placed education first.
Education was the foundation of the nation.
This policy was set by Emperor De and was written into the national law.
There were many students who graduated from the Martial Temple every batch. Most of these students inherited the wishes of their teachers and chose to teach in remote places to spread the culture and knowledge and reform the cultural ideals of the backward areas.
The Yuhua God Dynasty was unprecedentedly serious in these matters.
This was also the reason why the Golden Dragon of Destiny was becoming stronger and stronger.
Lin Jiufeng was increasingly satisfied as he walked and observed.
This was the hope that he was willing to sacrifice his life to protect.
The hope of the nation!
“I’m already infinitely powerful now. When I become stronger again 50 years later, I should be able to revive Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.” Lin Jiufeng’s mood was filled with good expectations.
He was waiting for this day.
The promise he made back then was delayed again and again. Until now, Lin Jiufeng still felt that he had let down Emperor Yuan, who called him Big Brother.
The current era was the best era.
Lin Jiufeng felt that Emperor Yuan would definitely be satisfied after seeing this.
Emperor Yuan should really see this!
Lin Jiufeng soon returned to the imperial capital.
In the imperial capital, there were countless powerhouses.
In the current Yuhua God Dynasty, immortals were already the standard.
The commanders in the army, even if they were to command just a thousand troops, they also had to be at the Immortal Realm.
This was also the reason why the Yuhua God Dynasty could suppress the world.
Truth and justice were born under the strength of cultivation.
…
Returning to the imperial capital, Lin Jiufeng directly came to the door of the Cold Palace.
The [Light of the Homes] swayed slightly, emitting a light as it welcomed Lin Jiufeng’s return.
“You became stronger again.” Lin Jiufeng looked at the [Light of the Homes] and said with a smile.
In fact, up till now, the [Light of the Homes] was less like his treasure, but more like his friend.
Being from the first batch of treasures to be obtained from signing in, only the [Light of the Homes] accompanied Lin Jiufeng until now.
Moreover, it had always been working hard to improve itself. Without Lin Jiufeng’s help, it had always evolved on its own.
In the past hundred years, Lin Jiufeng had only activated the [Light of the Homes] once when the Kunlun Mountains appeared.
Then, the [Light of the Homes] gave the world a huge surprise.
By now, the world had forgotten about this surprise.
The [Light of the Homes] that shocked the world back then was referred to as an immortal artifact. Countless people were shocked. The Yuhua God Dynasty actually had an immortal artifact?
But now, who would be shocked?
Immortals were everywhere.
As for the False Immortals, they weren’t even of significance now. The world had been turned upside down, and the horizons of the people were constantly broadened. The ‘immortal artifact’ [Light of the Homes] that once stunned the world had long been mostly forgotten.
But the [Light of the Homes] stayed quietly in front of the Cold Palace’s door the entire time.
It wasn’t in a hurry to leave nor was it in a hurry to do anything. It observed the world quietly and absorbed the scent of life of the mortal world.
As the world was filled with cheers, it was like a cold observer, watching the new humans of this new era without saying a word.
The [Light of the Homes] that was praised by Lin Jiufeng was still as usual. It swayed a little and quietly emitted a weak light.
No one knew how powerful this weak candle flame hanging in front of the Cold Palace was.
In reality, Lin Jiufeng didn’t know either.
But he knew that the next time the [Light of the Homes] displayed its might, it would definitely amaze the world.
After looking at the [Light of the Homes] for a while, Lin Jiufeng pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the Cold Palace, hundreds of flowers bloomed at the same time. There were peach blossoms spanning for a hundred meters and an orchard. It was beautiful and flawless, with a dense fragrance and a faint glow.
Lin Jiufeng looked over. Among the hundreds of flowers, there was a human flower that was smelling the flowers lightly. The beauty of this flower was like that of a celestial.
Bai Mao’er!
She was admiring the flowers. Among the hundreds of flowers, she was so beautiful that she suppressed all the other flowers.
She didn’t even notice that Lin Jiufeng had entered. It wasn’t until Lin Jiufeng walked behind her and hugged her up that she let out a cry. She hurriedly struggled. Then, she saw Lin Jiufeng’s face. Her well-developed body instantly became soft. Her arms circled around Lin Jiufeng’s neck. With a shout, she buried himself in Lin Jiufeng’s arms and kissed his neck.
“You’re back…” Bai Mao’er’s surprised voice came from Lin Jiufeng’s neck. She couldn’t bear to let go. Her heart and mind were entirely on Lin Jiufeng, and now, she was even using her pink tongue to gently lick Lin Jiufeng’s skin.
The soft and numb feeling coupled with her surprised and coquettish face made the lofty sentiments in Lin Jiufeng’s heart become tender and loving.
“I missed you, so I came back,” Lin Jiufeng said sweetly.
The white cat knew that this was to coax her, but she was still very happy, and her heart had melted. She looked at Lin Jiufeng with eyes like water. She was very obsessed with him.
When she was still a cat, she already liked to pester Lin Jiufeng. Now that she had transformed, this condition became even more serious. As long as Lin Jiufeng was free, she would cling to him.
It wasn’t for any other reason other than wanting to smell Lin Jiufeng’s scent. That was her favorite smell.
“Did you plant all of these when I wasn’t home?” Lin Jiufeng hugged Bai Mao’er and looked at the beautiful scenery around him as he asked gently.
“Yes. I was very lonely without you, so I cleaned up the Cold Palace and planted some flowers and trees. With these flowers and plants accompanying me, I have a little solace,” Bai Mao’er said sweetly.
“You’re really a skilled housekeeper. You’ve managed this Cold Palace well,” Lin Jiufeng teased.
“Of course. This is our home after all,” Bai Mao’er said seriously.
She didn’t want to go anywhere else.
She had lived here for almost a thousand years. She met Lin Jiufeng here and fell in love with him here.
Hence, she cleaned up the Cold Palace during this period of time and waited for Lin Jiufeng’s return.
“Now that you’re back, are you still going out?” Bai Mao’er asked Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng shook his head and said, “I’m not going out anymore. I won’t go out unless there’s something important.”
“Hehe, then you have to accompany me well. I’ve been so pitiful during this period of time. I’ve been looking forward to your return every day. You heartless man…” Bai Mao’er reached out and drew circles on Lin Jiufeng’s chest. She breathed out a sweet-smelling breath and looked at Lin Jiufeng flirtatiously.
Lin Jiufeng raised his brows and said, “Then, I shall make it up to you properly.”
In the very next moment, as Bai Mao’er let out a cry of surprise, Lin Jiufeng carried her into the room and closed the door.
Then, a harmonized music sounded.
Bai Mao’er’s cries became increasingly sweet, making Lin Jiufeng fall into it and unable to extricate himself.
Tonight, the dragon raised its head and the phoenix spread its wings. Fortunately, the sounds in the Cold Palace couldn’t be heard from outside.
…
Time flew. It had been three months since Lin Jiufeng returned to the imperial capital.
In these three months, Lin Jiufeng spent most of his time accompanying Bai Mao’er. The rest of the time was spent on integrating the 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers.
During this period, some strange things happened.
One night, Lin Jiufeng and Bai Mao’er’s souls were fusing to the peak. Under her excitement, she actually directly broke through from the Immortal Realm and reached the Perfected Immortal Realm.
The eruption of the bloodline in her body allowed her to cross through the Nine Restrictions. This was something Lin Jiufeng didn’t expect.
This also made Bai Mao’er cling to Lin Jiufeng without getting out of bed for a few days in excitement.
She just wanted to see if it would stimulate her bloodline in situations where she was extremely excited.
But after dozens of attempts, she still didn’t succeed in stimulating her bloodline. Bai Mao’er could only give up indignantly.
In the past three months, Lin Jiufeng had also been constantly comprehending the Escaped One.
He wanted to break through to the Mystic Immortal Realm and the key was in comprehending the Escaped One.
For this reason, Lin Jiufeng was comprehending the Dao every day.
Now, he no longer needed to cultivate and accumulate immortal energy. He only needed to comprehend the Dao. The Great Dao was vast, and every bit of comprehension was a huge improvement.
Unfortunately, Lin Jiufeng didn’t comprehend anything in the past three months.
Comprehending the Escaped One was a difficult task. Lin Jiufeng wasn’t anxious about succeeding.
There was still some time before the 50-year deadline.
He began to comprehend the Dao constantly and signed in at various places.
The first stop was the Land of Extremely Negative Energy!
The entanglement between this Land of Extremely Negative Energy and Lin Jiufeng had already lasted for 100 years, and it was still continuing. Every time he entered after a period of time, he could sign in once.
This time, Lin Jiufeng entered and once again stepped into the Land of Extremely Negative Energy. A line of words appeared before his eyes.
[Do you want to Sign-In at the Land of Extremely Negative Energy?]
Lin Jiufeng agreed decisively.
[Sign-In successful. Received the secret manual of the Undying Heaven Blade!]
An immortal technique of the blade that was still useful to Lin Jiufeng, but not much.
Lin Jiufeng was a little helpless. He was hoping to sign in for a leaf of the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree.
This way, he could use it to comprehend the Dao.
But he obtained an immortal technique instead, and it could be considered useless.
Lin Jiufeng still learned it. It was better than nothing.
Then, he entered the Land of Extremely Negative Energy and saw the huge, black Undying Mountain.
The Undying Mountain that looked like a human head was still the same as before. There was nothing for Lin Jiufeng to explore.
The entire mountain was like a silent land of death.
Lin Jiufeng walked all over the Undying Mountain, but he still found nothing. He left the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.
…
Ten years passed in a flash.
Too many things had happened in the past ten years.
A generation of people grew up, a generation of people entered society, and a generation of people became legends.
In the past ten years, the Yuhua God Dynasty had been working hard. With Emperor De as the leader, they created miracle after miracle and managed the country in an orderly manner.
Martial Temples and other major schools were flourishing.
The entire Yuhua God Dynasty and the various ethnic groups were nurturing talents. The former chaos was gone forever, and the newly born children had no concept of the past chaos of the world at all.
In their eyes, shouldn’t this world always be so safe and peaceful?
It wasn’t until they went to school that they began to learn about the changes of the era. How chaotic the past was and how pitiful the people were back then.
In these ten years, Princess Yulin and Bai Tiandi also gave birth to a boy and a girl. They even brought their children to see Lin Jiufeng. The two very cute children addressed Lin Jiufeng as Great-Granduncle.
Princess Yulin and Bai Tiandi were also working hard in their cultivation, improving in a low-key manner.
Under Lin Jiufeng’s guidance, they successfully crossed the Nine Restrictions and entered the Perfected Immortal Realm.
Especially Bai Tiandi. After he broke through to the Perfected Immortal Realm, he instantly comprehended 15 Perfected Immortal nomological powers, far exceeding Princess Yulin’s.
This was also the reason why Lin Jiufeng thought highly of Bai Tiandi from the beginning. His talent was really terrifying.
In the past ten years, the outside world was changing drastically, but Lin Jiufeng himself was a little troubled.
He still hadn’t comprehended the Escaped One.
Right now, his Perfected Immortal nomological powers still only numbered 2,999.
He was only one step away from the Mystic Immortal Realm, but this one step was so far away that it was like the distance between the mortal world and the heavens.
Lin Jiufeng had used many methods in the past ten years.
For example, signing in everywhere.
Lin Jiufeng had gone to places all over the world and signed in at different places.
But perhaps it was because the world had calmed down or for other reasons, the things that Lin Jiufeng signed in didn’t help him comprehend the Escaped One.
Just like that, Lin Jiufeng spent the past ten years.
His comprehension of the Great Dao was extremely deep, especially the 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers. Lin Jiufeng had thoroughly understood them.
Right now, his strength was still slowly increasing, as if there was no end to it. But he was still lacking the Escaped One to reach the Mystic Immortal Realm.
Out of the 3,000 Great Dao, one escaped. For Lin Jiufeng, this was quite a cruel thing.
After all, he had waited for ten years for the Escaped One. He had worked hard for ten years. This was unprecedented in the cultivation process of the past.
If Lin Jiufeng learned from Great Emperor Shakyamuni and gave up on the Escaped One, he could already break through to the Mystic Immortal Realm now.
Sometimes in the night, Lin Jiufeng would look up at the sky and watch the countless stars flickering. He would also ask himself in his heart.
Was there a point in being so persistent?
Out of the 50 years, 10 years had already passed.
He didn’t have much time to waste. When the female Immortal Court War God woke up, the Human Race would definitely encounter a catastrophe.
Lin Jiufeng had to improve his strength so that by that time, he would have a chance of dealing with this female War God.
Hence, Lin Jiufeng would sometimes advise himself not to think about the Escaped One, give up on it, and then break through to the Mystic Immortal Realm with 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers. Then, aim for the next realm and improve his strength as soon as possible.
But when Lin Jiufeng decided to give up, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his heart.
No one had ever caught the Escaped One since ancient times.
Including the invincible Great Emperor Shakyamuni of 100,000 years ago who gave up on capturing the Escaped One too.
If he, Lin Jiufeng, caught it, how much potential and future would he have?
To protect this world and face the countless masterminds hidden in the dark, what was needed was an invincible Great Emperor Jiufeng who could suppress the world, the past, and the future.
Not a Lin Jiufeng who could ask himself to give up.
Lin Jiufeng chose to set a high standard for himself and didn’t give up in the end. He decided to continue comprehending.
“Even if I have to waste these 50 years, I must comprehend the Escaped One!” Lin Jiufeng’s gaze was firm and energetic.
As the night fell, an energetic Lin Jiufeng who still looked the same as before made a firm wish.
He continued to comprehend the Great Dao.
…
Another ten years passed.
Since the last time Lin Jiufeng made a firm wish under the night sky, the heavens seemed to be torturing him.
Over the past ten years, his strength had doubled, reaching an extremely terrifying level.
His comprehension of the Great Dao was also extremely deep, as vast as the sea. Lin Jiufeng also had a few enlightenments, each time entering the sea of the Great Dao, and had quite a deep comprehension of it.
He thought that he could find the Escaped One in the sea of Great Dao.
But in reality, the Escaped One wasn’t in the sea of Great Dao.
Lin Jiufeng’s heart remained firm.
He had already spent 20 years on it. If he gave up now, he wouldn’t be able to return to 20 years ago and recover the lost time. Even if he gave up now and broke through to the Mystic Immortal Realm, in the remaining 30 years, Lin Jiufeng felt that he would just be staying at the Mystic Immortal Realm.
But the problem was…
Now, he could also use the nomological powers of the Perfected Immortal Realm to defeat most Mystic Immortals. In fact, Lin Jiufeng even dared to say that after these 20 years, he was invincible among those of the Mystic Immortal Realm!
But so what?
Was the female War God of the Immortal Court someone who could be dealt with by someone of the Mystic Immortal Realm?
Lin Jiufeng didn’t believe this at all.
Hence, Lin Jiufeng had already cut off all of his retreat paths. Next, all he could do was to follow the current path to the end.
“I don’t believe that you can stop me for another ten years,” Lin Jiufeng said fiercely.
…
Ten years had passed, but he still hadn’t comprehended the Escaped One.
Although he was still constantly becoming stronger and his strength had completely surpassed the Perfected Immortal Realm, the feeling of breaking through still remained slightly lacking.
Lin Jiufeng’s gaze was no longer firm.
He had comprehended many of the world’s Great Dao.
Time, space, five elements, Yin-Yang, primordial chaos, killing…
Lin Jiufeng’s mastery of these top Great Dao was at perfection. He was even more proficient than those who just focused on comprehending a single of these Great Dao.
But Lin Jiufeng was really clueless about the Escaped One.
“I’ve really comprehended the countless Great Dao, but I still haven’t comprehended the Escaped One. Could it be that this Escaped One is a combination of the other Great Dao?” Lin Jiufeng was already beginning to worry.
Because there were only 20 years left until 50 years.
Even if he broke through now and continued to cultivate diligently, time would still be a little tight.
Moreover, Lin Jiufeng didn’t even have a clue regarding the Escaped One.
Breaking through was impossible.
In the past 30 years, Lin Jiufeng had already spent a lot of effort to comprehend the Escaped One. He originally wanted to marry Bai Mao’er earlier.
But he had already put this matter to the back of his mind. His mind was focused on the Escaped One.
The Escaped One still ignored Lin Jiufeng.
The current Lin Jiufeng was very anxious.
“It can’t really trap me for 50 years, right?” Lin Jiufeng was about to vomit blood.
Ever since he came to this world, this was the greatest difficulty he had encountered.
Even though he had the sign-in system, there was nothing he could do.
Over the years, Lin Jiufeng had visited all the nine states in the main continent and even the islands overseas.
He also triggered the sign-ins from time to time, but it wasn’t very useful for helping him comprehend the Escaped One.
…
The 40th year arrived.
On this day, Lin Jiufeng couldn’t help but roar into the sky, alarming Bai Mao’er.
She didn’t approach but watched Lin Jiufeng from afar. She covered her mouth, her expression sad and her heart aching for Lin Jiufeng.
She knew how much pressure Lin Jiufeng was under.
Hence, she didn’t dare to approach Lin Jiufeng now, nor did she dare to disturb him. She had no idea how to help Lin Jiufeng at all, so all she could do was not add to his troubles.
“It’s been 40 years, there are only ten years left. I still can’t catch the Escaped One.” Lin Jiufeng smiled bitterly. He was depressed and flustered, bearing a pressure that the world didn’t know about.
Hence, he was very anxious and inexplicably irritable. This was unprecedented.
As time passed, the pressure of the female War God seemed to be crashing down on Lin Jiufeng.
He thought about how ten years later, the female War God would come into being and wipe out this golden age that countless people had worked hard for generations and contributed to. To Lin Jiufeng, this was absolutely not allowed.
“I promised Emperor Yuan that I would protect the Yuhua God Dynasty!”
“I want the common people to live in peace. I don’t want to see starved people everywhere and corpses everywhere.”
“I hope that the children will have books to read. If the adults work hard, they can exchange them for the reward that they deserve. The elderly have people to support them.”
“This world should be like this. It shouldn’t become a chaotic battlefield. Ordinary people shouldn’t become toys in the hands of powerhouses and become ants in their eyes that could be crushed at will.”
“A beautiful nation built by billions of people by generations of wise rulers shouldn’t be destroyed by a force buried in history.”
Lin Jiufeng gritted his teeth and said.
He began to regret his decision.
Back then, if he didn’t choose to comprehend the Escaped One, perhaps he was already very powerful now.
After 40 years, this world also gave birth to the Mystic Immortals of this era.
Including Bai Tiandi, who had also broken through to the Mystic Immortal Realm.
Lin Jiufeng was still at the Perfected Immortal Realm.
What could he use to deal with the awakened female War God ten years later?
If it weren’t for the pressure of the female War God, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t have doubted himself like this.
He would have enough time and patience to comprehend the Escaped One.
But the world was just this, it wouldn’t go according to one’s wishes.
The pressure of the female War God really made it difficult for Lin Jiufeng to breathe.
With each passing day, this pressure would increase slightly.
Lin Jiufeng’s heart skipped a beat when he suddenly saw the scared Bai Mao’er.
The woman he loved the most was actually afraid of his current state.
In an instant, Lin Jiufeng woke up from the terrifying state he was in just now.
It was only then that he realized that he had almost become demonized just now.
His mentality had completely collapsed. He was so stressed that he was starting to become afraid.
If this continued, Lin Jiufeng would definitely fall into the demonic path. The birth of an inner demon would make him walk the evil path.
Lin Jiufeng squeezed out a smile at Bai Mao’er and asked, “Was I very terrifying just now?”
“No, I’m very worried about you. You’re giving yourself too much pressure. You’re equivalent to carrying the world on your back,” Bai Mao’er said gently.
“Your condition just now was very terrifying, as if you were possessed, but I didn’t dare to disturb you,” she said with red eyes.
Lin Jiufeng walked up and reached out to hug Bai Mao’er, then kissed her forehead.
Feeling her well-developed body, Lin Jiufeng’s heart calmed down.
He recovered his composure. His eyes became firm as he said, “I want to go out for a walk. I won’t be back for the next ten years.”
Bai Mao’er hugged Lin Jiufeng and said gently, “It will be a good thing to go out and relax. I believe that my Great Emperor Jiufeng is definitely the most incredible being in the world. This little setback won’t be able to defeat you.”
Lin Jiufeng smiled radiantly and said, “Alright, wait for my good news!”
Releasing Bai Mao’er, Lin Jiufeng resolutely soared into the sky and left the imperial capital.
His target this time was clear. He directly went to the Northwest Territory, the Mountain Sea Realm, and found Miss Hong.
It had been 40 years since they last parted.
Miss Hong was still as beautiful as ever.
Her cultivation had reached the peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm. She wasn’t far from the next realm.
Hence, when she saw Lin Jiufeng, her brows raised as she asked in surprise, “Why are you still at the Perfected Immortal Realm?”
Lin Jiufeng smiled bitterly. He sat down directly beside Miss Hong and sighed. “I’m very lost now.”
Miss Hong’s expression instantly changed as she looked at Lin Jiufeng worriedly.
She had known Lin Jiufeng for more than a hundred years.
She had never seen Lin Jiufeng in such a state.
In her memory, the Great Emperor Jiufeng was confident, personable, and elegant. He seemed to be an exiled immortal, not like a being of the mortal realm, but like the star on the heavenly mountain.
But now, Lin Jiufeng had changed.
His entire body was filled with confusion. His energy and spirit had dissipated.
“What happened?” Miss Hong hurriedly asked.
The Great Emperor Jiufeng in her heart wasn’t like this.
She was very worried!
Lin Jiufeng closed his eyes and told her everything about the past 40 years.
“There are still ten years before the female War God of the Immortal Court wakes up. The calamity of the mortal world is about to arrive, and as the so-called Great Emperor Jiufeng of the world, I’m only at the Perfected Immortal Realm. When the time comes, how can I protect this unprecedented golden era?” Lin Jiufeng blamed himself.
“Why do the Great Emperor Jiufeng have to take responsibility for everything?” Miss Hong asked gently.
Lin Jiufeng looked at Miss Hong. She was at the peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm, but facing the female War God, it wasn’t enough.
“I don’t like this gaze of yours. Are you looking down on my cultivation base?” Miss Hong snorted coldly.
Lin Jiufeng smiled bitterly and said, “I’m just a Perfected Immortal, how can I have the right to look down on you, who’s at the peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm? I just don’t know how to deal with the female War God.”
“The female War God is indeed very troublesome, but it’s not that there’s no other way. Let’s think together, we will definitely be able to do it,” Miss Hong said firmly.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. I came to look for you this time because I want you to bring me to the Third World,” Lin Jiufeng said.
“You want to go to the Third World?” Miss Hong asked in surprise.
“Yes, I have no clue now. I won’t be able to comprehend it outside anyway. Then, I shall go to the Third World and watch over that female War God. When she wakes up, I will stop her immediately.” Lin Jiufeng nodded.
This was something that couldn’t be helped.
Lin Jiufeng decided that when the time came, he would use all his means to resist the female War God in the Third World.
Miss Hong looked at Lin Jiufeng and smiled in an extremely charming manner. She said, “Alright, then I will accompany you to fight that female War God.”
“I don’t need you. You still have to inherit the Heavenly Dao Sect. Just send me in.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head.
“The inheritance of the Heavenly Dao Sect has already passed down, and I’ve lived my entire life for the Heavenly Dao Sect, but the people of the world don’t know about it. I’m going to live for myself this time. I want to be the person who saves the world.” Miss Hong raised her snow-white neck, proud as a swan.
“Moreover, you still want to monopolize the matter of saving the world?”
“Are you looking down on me, a woman?”
“Isn’t your Yuhua God Dynasty promoting equality between males and females?”
“Yet, you are the first one to disobey this policy, Great Emperor Jiufeng.”
Miss Hong spoke continuously, completely blocking Lin Jiufeng’s words of persuasion.
He smiled bitterly. “It’s your freedom to go wherever you want. What right do I have to stop you?”
“It’s good that you know.” Miss Hong snorted coquettishly. She directly got up. Dress in red, she looked like an empress.
“Let’s go, the lost Great Emperor Jiufeng,” Miss Hong shouted and turned to look at Lin Jiufeng. Her smile was like a flower. In the desert background, under the resplendent sunlight, she was as beautiful as a painting.
Lin Jiufeng got up and went to the Hengduan Mountain Range with Miss Hong.
Then, they entered the Third World.
The small mountain village in the Third World was as quiet as usual. The people here were all former powerhouses of the God Race.
In the past, when they came, the people here were all cultivating from the beginning.
Now, they were all powerhouses at the Mystic Immortal Realm and above.
But they still lived their days quietly, ignoring the matters of the outside world.
They were prepared to sacrifice themselves.
Hence, they weren’t afraid at all.
They continued to play chess, go fishing, and drink tea. They spent their days as per usual.
When Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong came in, they watched curiously.
They knew that Lin Jiufeng had moved away all the books of the God Race last time.
After 40 years, why did Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong come in again?
“Welcome, guests. I was wondering why the magpies were circling in front of the door in the morning. It turns out that it’s the Great Emperor Jiufeng and Miss Hong coming to visit.” White Dragon chuckled and walked out to welcome them.
Lin Jiufeng said softly, “We came uninvited. I hope everyone won’t blame us.”
“What are you talking about? It’s our honor that Great Emperor Jiufeng can come. Otherwise, our place would be too boring.” White Dragon laughed and led Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong to his bamboo house.
What it looked like ten years ago and what it looked like ten years later didn’t change at all.
White Dragon invited Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong to sit down. Then, he looked at Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong. He observed them carefully and chuckled. “It’s been 40 years since we last met. Your spirits are completely different.”
Lin Jiufeng smiled bitterly and said, “Is it that easy to see through?”
“Anyone who isn’t suffering from vision disorder can see it,” Miss Hong ridiculed.
“It’s not that obvious. It’s just that the changes that happened to Great Emperor Jiufeng 40 years ago and 40 years later are too great,” White Dragon said with a smile.
“Have you encountered trouble recently?” White Dragon asked in concern.
Lin Jiufeng nodded slightly.
“It’s better for me to say it. If he repeats it again, it would be akin to opening the wound again.” Miss Hong took over.
White Dragon didn’t mind. He looked at Miss Hong gently.
“The thing is…” Miss Hong immediately shared Lin Jiufeng’s predicament.
White Dragon listened silently throughout without interrupting Miss Hong.
It wasn’t until Miss Hong finished speaking that White Dragon looked at Lin Jiufeng and asked, “Great Emperor Jiufeng really comprehended 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers?”
Lin Jiufeng nodded. He spread his fingers and a small-sized world appeared in his palm.
This was a world constructed from the 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers.
A lifelike small-sized world.
This move shocked Miss Hong and White Dragon.
They observed silently, obsessed with it.
Casually creating a real world, this was too terrifying.
This was also the result of Lin Jiufeng’s continuous comprehension in the past 40 years.
White Dragon observed for a long time before he said, “Since ancient times, those who were able to comprehend the 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers were all freak-level geniuses. For example, the Great Emperor Shakyamuni from 100,000 years ago, and the king of the God Race, the King of Gods!”
“But although you can create a world now, don’t you think that you are lacking something?” White Dragon asked Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng blinked. In his dazed state, he didn’t understand.
“Humans!”
“Living creatures!”
“There’s also the most important thing, the Escaped One!”
White Dragon smiled slightly.
“When I was young, I was very cute at that time. I didn’t look like this. I was hugged and carried for a while by a supreme existence of the God Race and heard her chatting with others. I subconsciously heard a term!” White Dragon chuckled and said.
“What term?” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes gradually lit up.
“Great Destiny Skill!”
“Among the 3,000 Great Dao, the Escaped One is the Great Destiny Skill!” White Dragon affirmed.
These words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Lin Jiufeng’s mind. His entire body seemed to have been split into two as he fell into the feeling of a person who had just been saved from drowning.
Miss Hong looked at Lin Jiufeng worriedly, her eyes filled with concern.
“Let’s go out and let him be alone. He has fallen into a state of confusion for the past 40 years. Now that the clouds have been cleared and he can see the light, he needs to adjust himself.” White Dragon invited Miss Hong out.
Miss Hong hesitated for a while. She looked at Lin Jiufeng and realized that he was silent. He seemed to have fallen into his own world. She got up and left with White Dragon.
Lin Jiufeng was left alone, recalling the past 40 years.
