Chapter 130: Phenomenon Domain

Seeing the Empress Dowager calling out to Princess Yulin in her dreams and waking up in disappointment and sadness.

Lin Jiufeng pondered for a while.

Princess Yulin had lost to the son of the Millennium Sword God and was held captive near the coast.

Since the overseas swordsman still had to use her as a tool in the negotiations, Lin Jiufeng reckoned that she was safe.

But as a mother, the Empress Dowager couldn’t help but worry day and night.

Coincidentally, Emperor De had just finished reviewing the memorials.

He was a little tired, but he still came to see his mother.

Emperor De hadn’t come alone.

He had brought his Empress with him.

Unlike his old man, Emperor Ming—whose relationship with his wife didn’t go so well until the later phase of his life, Emperor De’s relationship with his wife was smooth sailing.

Emperor Ming married a woman he didn’t like.

Thus, he had to spend more than a decade just to learn how to love someone whom he didn’t like in the first place.

After the reforms were passed, his mind wandered.

He wanted to find his true love.

However, he was tricked by the Mountain Ghost Race and almost lost his life.

After that, he gave up on finding true love and slowly interacted with and got to know the current Empress Dowager better. However, even until Emperor Ming’s death, no one could say for sure whether he had fallen in love with the Empress Dowager or not.

But one thing was for sure—he had definitely approved of the Empress Dowager and gave her his greatest trump card.

Having learned her lesson from Emperor Ming, the Empress Dowager was much more lenient with the Emperor.

He gave him free rein when it came to the person whom he wanted to marry. But of course, as his mother, she still made sure that the woman he chose was suitable to be the Empress of a God Dynasty.

When she became satisfied with his partner, Emperor De and his wife became officially engaged in marriage and the girl Emperor De very much liked became a resident of the Forbidden City and a member of the palace.

Their relationship remained harmonious throughout the years.

Emperor De never chose a concubine.

In the huge imperial harem, only the Empress existed.

This was unprecedented throughout the history of the dynasty.

Even when the Empress advised him to take a concubine, Emperor De shook his head and refused.

Emperor De and the Empress also had two children who were already adults and were now working hard to learn the ways of their father and mother.

Because Emperor De only loved a single person and didn’t marry anyone else.

He was praised by countless women.

Today, both Emperor De and the Empress visited the Empress Dowager.

After decades, both of them were still very close to each other.

They held hands as they walked and enjoyed each other’s company.

The palace maids and eunuchs waiting on him were envious of their display of affection.

Many people passed by Lin Jiufeng, but no one noticed his presence.

The Empress said gently, “Your Majesty’s busy with the state affairs, you have just finished reviewing the memorials. You should go and rest. I will visit Mother for both of us every day.”

Emperor De sighed and replied, “After Yulin was held captive, mother washed her face with tears every day. Mother misses Yulin very much, but she didn’t tell me even once. I know that she didn’t want to disturb me while I am dealing with state affairs, but the imperial physicians told me that Mother is suffering from insomnia every day. As her son, how could I not come and take a look at her?”

“Your Majesty, is there really no way to save Sister Yulin?” the Empress asked.

“That swordsman is very strong…”

“Even the war machine can’t defeat him.”

“If we want to save Yulin, we have to hand over the capital.”

“But once we do that, the dignity of the dynasty that I have painstakingly maintained for all these years will disappear.”

“Those packs of ferocious wolves also known as our enemies will immediately swarm over us and tear our Yuhua God Dynasty apart before swallowing it in one gulp,” Emperor De said in a deep voice.

How could he not want to save his only sister?

But he didn’t dare to.

The Empress stopped talking.

She trusted her husband when it came to such a major state affair. He could handle it well. For decades, she had never interfered in state affairs.

This was also the reason she was praised by the court as being a virtuous Empress.

Lin Jiufeng watched as they entered the Empress Dowager’s palace and turned around to leave.

“Little Cat. In the 80 years since I came to this world, I have never looked at the sea. Do you know what the sea looks like?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“I don’t know. I have also never looked at the sea…” The white cat shook her head.

She had never once laid her eyes on the sea in her entire life.

“If that’s the case, let’s go and take a look,” replied Lin Jiufeng with a smile.

The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng and snorted. “You just want to save Princess Yulin, right? You’re only taking me to see the sea because it’s convenient.”

“Wrong! I have always wanted to bring you to the sea. But since we’re going there anyway, I should also save Princess Yulin.” Lin Jiufeng corrected.

Although the white cat knew that Lin Jiufeng was merely coaxing her, she was still very happy.

She squinted her eyes and meowed adorably.

…

After leaving the Forbidden City, Lin Jiufeng walked out of the Imperial Capital.

The golden age of this era had already begun.

Even the Daoist and Buddhist sects that had once produced immortals had also emerged from their hibernation.

From this alone, one could see that the golden age of this era had already begun.

This was the first time Lin Jiufeng left the Imperial Capital with the intention to look at his surroundings seriously and carve the sceneries into his mind.

Whenever Lin Jiufeng went out of the Imperial Capital back then, he never had a chance to enjoy the scenery for he had always been in a hurry.

This time, however, he took the initiative to leave the capital.

The scenery and the way of living that he saw were all very different from before.

In the background of this era rich in spiritual energy, even the old man in the fields and the people in their seventies and eighties could walk at a fast pace. They could carry sacks of merchandise and food on their backs as if they were at their prime age.

One could say that the golden age of an era was the best time to live.

But it could also be the worst time to live…

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat traveled for a day before they arrived on the closest shores of the sea. The imperial capital was quite distant from the sea.

After all, it was located at the center of the Yuhua God Dynasty whose territory protected it in all directions.

But it was really distant from the sea.

But to Lin Jiufeng, the distance was nothing.

He took a step forward and miles were condensed into mere inches.

Distance didn’t exist to Lin Jiufeng.

The sea!

An endless expanse of blue waves splashed against the shore.

Lin Jiufeng was looking at the sea for the first time in both his previous and current life.

It was the same for the white cat.

Both man and cat stood by the sea, enjoying the sea breeze that brushed past their figures.

They looked at the blue sky and the white clouds.

The sky was clear and boundless.

Their mood greatly improved.

The sea breeze brought with it the humidity of the sea.

The white cat stuck out its pink tongue and licked the sea breeze in the air.

“It’s salty…” The white cat spat it out and said, feeling aggrieved.

Lin Jiufeng looked at her embarrassed expression and laughed out loud.

The white cat buried her face into Lin Jiufeng’s neck and meowed.

Lin Jiufeng smiled faintly as he admired the sea.

He walked along the shore and observed the scenery around him quietly.

Those who were seeing the sea for the first time would always have the desire to explore it.

All of a sudden, a line of words appeared before Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

[Do you want to Sign-In before the sea?]

Lin Jiufeng’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect that he could also sign in before the sea.

“Sign in.” Lin Jiufeng agreed decisively.

[Sign-In successful. Received Sea Rising Bright Moon Phenomenon Domain.]

“Phenomenon Domain?” Lin Jiufeng muttered in surprise.

This was his first time receiving something like this.

Closing his eyes, Lin Jiufeng felt that an extremely vast sea had appeared in his God’s Domain.

A bright moon was slowly rising in the middle of the sea.

Boom!

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jiufeng realized that the might of his God’s Domain had increased by several folds.

“A phenomenon domain is that terrifying?” Lin Jiufeng was overjoyed.

He then did his best to comprehend this phenomenon domain as fast as possible.

Sea Rising Bright Moon…

It was a terrifying phenomenon, even in the real world.

Once integrated into one’s original domain, their domain would then receive the support of the world itself. As a result, their domain would become infinitely powerful.

Only a handful of people were destined to comprehend a phenomenon domain.

But those that had phenomenon domains were monsters among monsters.

They couldn’t even be described as geniuses.

It was more appropriate to describe them as freaks.

This proved just how powerful a phenomenon domain was.
