Chapter 248: The Era of Immortals

He killed his way into the Immortal Court and buried the Immortal Spirits, Gods, and the Immortal Court of the old era.

This was the record that Elder Universe left behind in the Heavenly Dao Sect. These few simple words revealed a lot of information.

​ 

“Is there really an Immortal Court in this world?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“It is said that 20,000 years ago, a mysterious organization was hidden in the sky above us, which was the Immortal Court,” Miss Hong said.

“Is the cultivation towards becoming immortal really the only path?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“I don’t know.” Miss Hong couldn’t give an answer, nor did she know.

“Perhaps there are records in the books here, but I’m not sure. No senior ever told me about this before.” Miss Hong sighed.

She knew nothing about Lin Jiufeng’s doubts.

“Other than that, is there any other news?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“No, that’s all. Obtaining a sentence from 20,000 years ago is already not easy.” Miss Hong shook her head.

“Then, is this mystic technique, the Universe Clock, the supreme mystic technique of the Heavenly Dao Sect?” Lin Jiufeng pointed at the sheepskin book and asked.“Yes, this is the supreme mystic technique of the Heavenly Dao Sect. It was Elder Universe who made this technique well-known to the world at that time. It’s very powerful, decisive, and has an extremely terrifying edge. It can touch the radiance of the universe and has a terrifying degree of fearlessness,” Miss Hong introduced.

“I still have to thank you for bringing back the mystic technique of the Heavenly Dao Sect. It has already been lost for so long. If it weren’t for you bringing it back, I wouldn’t even know about it.” Miss Hong was grateful to Lin Jiufeng.

“It’s just a small matter!” Lin Jiufeng waved his hand. He didn’t take a fancy to this mystic technique called the Universe Clock. He had no thoughts about it at all. He just wanted to figure out some things.

“Where is that Undying Mountain?” Miss Hong asked. She wanted to explore it. She might be able to find the whereabouts of Elder Universe.

“You can’t enter now, and even if you go in, you won’t be able to see his traces. It’s better to improve yourself well. The spiritual energy is exploding every day now, and you’ve also obtained the mystic technique from tens of thousands of years ago. You have to cherish this opportunity.” Lin Jiufeng rejected Miss Hong.

At this stage, he wouldn’t bring anyone to the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.

Moreover, without the little white cat’s bloodline, she couldn’t see Elder Universe. It would be a waste of time for Miss Hong to go there.

“Alright, I will work hard in my cultivation. It’s my duty to restore the glory of the Heavenly Dao Sect!” Miss Hong said firmly.

Lin Jiufeng looked around and asked, “Can I look at the books here?”

“Feel free to do so. You can read every single one of them. I’m going to translate the cultivation technique, the Universe Clock. No one will come and disturb you,” Miss Hong said generously. Coincidentally, she didn’t know how to thank Lin Jiufeng. Letting Lin Jiufeng read the treasured books of the Heavenly Dao Sect here was also to thank Lin Jiufeng for bringing back the mystic technique of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the news of Elder Universe.

After saying this, Miss Hong sat at the side and focused on translating the mystic technique. She saw the hope of the Heavenly Dao Sect rising in her hands.

“She has reignited her hope of living!” The white cat laid on Lin Jiufeng’s shoulder and said.“That’s good. Go play as you please. I want to study the books here properly. There must be a lot of records about the past here.” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes were bright, carrying a trace of brilliance. He wanted to study well here.

The white cat didn’t disturb Lin Jiufeng. She ran to one side alone and laid on the table to absorb the surging spiritual energy to improve herself.

Lin Jiufeng casually picked up a book and opened the first page.

[Do you want to Sign-In at the Heavenly Dao Sect library?]

But these words appeared before his eyes.

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows. He didn’t expect to trigger the sign-In here.

He thought that he would trigger the sign-in after entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t sign in in the Hundred Thousand Mountains but signed in the library of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

“Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng agreed.

He also wanted to know what he would receive by signing in in the library.

[Sign-In successful. Received the Book Spirit that enlightened the world!]

Lin Jiufeng looked at the line of words in front of him and blinked.What was this Book Spirit that enlightened the world?

A piece of information entered Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual consciousness.

“The Book Spirit is the spirit of all the books in the world. It is born to enlighten the world. Anyone who is enlightened by the Book Spirit will have their spiritual consciousness expanded and become a genius.”

This piece of information shocked Lin Jiufeng. He muttered in surprise, “If I place this in the Martial Temple and let the Book Spirit enlighten the young people of the world, doesn’t that mean that everyone in the Yuhua God Dynasty can become geniuses?”

Even a stupid person could become enlightened under the enlightenment of the Book Spirit and have considerable achievements.

This Book Spirit was of no help to Lin Jiufeng, but it was extremely useful to the Yuhua God Dynasty and the young people of the world.

“Not bad, books indeed contain beauty.” Lin Jiufeng happily put the Book Spirit away. When he returned to the Yuhua God Dynasty, he should go to the Martial Temple and leave the Book Spirit there.

At this moment, he calmed down and focused on reading.

Ten lines at a glance!

Lin Jiufeng flipped through the book and instantly absorbed all the information recorded in it.

Then, he split out countless clones from his soul to pick up the other books and read them carefully.

Lin Jiufeng did this in one smooth movement.The vast sea of books was quickly devoured by Lin Jiufeng.

The accumulation of the Heavenly Dao Sect over the years was quickly consumed by Lin Jiufeng’s huge soul.

Three days later, Miss Hong was still continuing to study the mystic technique of the sheepskin book. Lin Jiufeng bade her farewell, but she turned a deaf ear to him and remained obsessed with the vast world inside the book.

Lin Jiufeng left with the little white cat.

He didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

“We didn’t seem to have gained anything from this trip?” The white cat asked curiously.

“I know that mysterious old man is from the Heavenly Dao Sect. I know his name and some of the things that he has done. I even read the treasured books of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Is that not enough?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“I thought that Miss Hong from the Heavenly Dao Sect would be able to solve our doubts, but why do I feel that you are even more puzzled after reading these books?” The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng and asked suspiciously.

Lin Jiufeng smiled and said, “I’m even more puzzled because I have new questions, but no one can answer them. I have to figure them out on my own.”

“Can’t you tell me?” The white cat asked.

“Telling you is just adding to your troubles, so I won’t tell you. When I find the answers, I will tell you. What you have to do now is to work hard in cultivation and improve yourself,” Lin Jiufeng said.

The white cat was unable to refute. She was still too weak and had no prestige in front of Lin Jiufeng.Lin Jiufeng was just about to fly away from the Hundred Thousand Mountains when a line of words appeared before his eyes.

[Do you want to Sign-In at the Hundred Thousand Mountains?]

“Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng agreed without hesitation.

He knew that he could definitely sign in at least once at the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

But he didn’t expect it to be triggered when he was leaving.

This was unexpected.

[Sign-In successful. Received Monster Slaying Sword!]

The Monster Slaying Sword was an extremely terrifying immortal artifact. It was extremely sharp and extra effective against monsters.

A sword that looked like a piece of jade appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s hand. The phrases as beautiful as jade and rainbow-like sword just so happened to be able to describe this sword.

The Monster Slaying Sword was like a beauty and was held in Lin Jiufeng’s hand. Its edge flickered as if it could tear the sky apart in the very next moment.

But Lin Jiufeng didn’t do that. He took out the sword case and stored the Monster Slaying Sword inside to nurture it well. Without alerting anyone, he left the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

He gained a lot this time, but he couldn’t guard this forgotten space as he did in the Northwest Territory.

Because an unprecedented change was about to happen in this world.

This time, it wasn’t just the Yuhua God Dynasty or Lin Jiufeng, but the entire world was facing this change together.

The early stages of the recovery of spiritual energy had passed. This was already the middle stage. Very soon, the peak stage of spiritual energy recovery would be reached.

A year later, the False Immortals could descend into this world.

At that time, the False Immortals of the various major sects in the world would definitely appear.

The entire world would become chaotic.

The Yuhua God Dynasty would be the first to bear the brunt of this impact. Many factions who couldn’t wait to overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty were already waiting.

If Lin Jiufeng stayed here for too long, it would be a disaster for the Yuhua God Dynasty.

A year later, when the immortals descended, the Yuhua God Dynasty definitely needed Lin Jiufeng’s support.

Hence, he had to return.

After leaving the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Lin Jiufeng’s speed was as fast as lightning. He returned to the vicinity of the imperial capital.

He first went to the Martial Temple and released the Book Spirit inside.

The Book Spirit was a very cute elf. He also knew his mission. Moreover, the Martial Temple was filled with an atmosphere of learning. The Book Spirit liked this place very much. After waving at Lin Jiufeng, he flew into the Martial Temple to enlighten the students.

“I hope that the people of the Yuhua God Dynasty will all become geniuses!” Lin Jiufeng said to himself. This was his greatest hope. The people of the Yuhua God Dynasty would all be geniuses. Standing in this world, they would construct an ideal world suitable for ordinary people to live in.

Cultivators could fight and go against the heavens to change their fate. The world was huge and everyone had their own way of living.

But it didn’t mean that they could casually sacrifice the lives of ordinary people and ensure their safety. A powerful cultivation base wasn’t something that should be used to slaughter the common people.

This was what the Yuhua God Dynasty was currently doing.

After putting the Book Spirit inside, Lin Jiufeng returned to the imperial capital and entered the Cold Palace.

The Cold Palace was deserted as usual, which suited Lin Jiufeng and the little white cat.

The man and cat duo settled down in the Cold Palace.

Lin Jiufeng wasn’t in a hurry to enter the Land of Extremely Negative Energy. He had only gone there a few days ago, and he had gained quite a lot. This time, he wanted to cultivate properly for a period of time.

“I obtained the Dao Fruit of the mysterious old man in the Immortal Mountain. I have to comprehend it thoroughly this time. If I can successfully transcend the tribulation in one year and reach the Forming of the Five Energies stage, I will be able to better protect the Yuhua God Dynasty.” Lin Jiufeng said to himself.

Before the mysterious Elder Universe died, various small cauldrons, array formations, eight trigrams, divine clocks, immortal phoenixes, and dragon sparrows appeared around him. Each of them represented a peerless immortal technique and also his Dao Fruit.

At that time, Lin Jiufeng remembered these things in his eyes and didn’t dare to miss out on them at all. These were the things that he wanted to comprehend now. After comprehending these, he could also transcend the second lightning tribulation.

“While you make go into seclusion and cultivate, I will also go cultivate and wait for a breakthrough. I can’t lag behind by too much from you,” the white cat said. She steeled her heart and stopped herself from thinking about Lin Jiufeng’s arms. She turned around and went to one side to cultivate alone.

The man and cat in the Cold Palace were both working hard in their cultivation.

The spiritual energy in the world doubled every day from the previous day. There was no limit to the surging spiritual energy.

The breakthroughs of the people of the world also became simpler. Instantly, the number of people who brought disaster to the world increased. With powerful strength, but without a mentality to control strength, it was very easy for one to inflate, fall into confusion, be controlled by strength, and lose oneself.

During this period of time, the crime rate in the Yuhua God Dynasty skyrocketed, and the common people of the world trembled in fear.

Fortunately, after generations of outstanding students from the Martial Temple graduated, they became chess pieces to stabilize the world. They received orthodox education and their mentalities were very stable. After they broke through, they had no problem facing the sudden increase in strength and didn’t have any uncontrollable situations.

These people were the backbone of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s stability.

This world changed every day. Everyone could see this.

In front of the Kunlun Mountains, Princess Yulin and her people guarded this place for a month. Seeing that there was no movement from the Kunlun Mountains, she brought the powerhouses with her and left. She left behind other people of the Yuhua God Dynasty to watch over here at all times.

After Princess Yulin left with her people, a pair of vicious eyes stared at them from the Kunlun Mountains. The hatred in them couldn’t be washed away no matter what.

This hatred came from Peacock King’s mother.

Although she was afraid of the Yuhua God Dynasty and the Painting of the People, she didn’t forget the pain of losing her son at all.

“A year later, I will destroy your Yuhua God Dynasty and devour the common people within the land of 100,000 miles. I will wash the land with blood as a sacrifice to my son!” Mother Peacock gritted her teeth and let out a resentful voice.

The world fell silent for some reason.

After the battle between the Yuhua God Dynasty and the Kunlun Mountains, everyone remained silent.

Even the various demonic sects that were jumping around happily also quietened down. It was like they had changed into people that wouldn’t compete with others and just cultivate quietly, making people think that they were the Daoist priests instead.

The Yuhua God Dynasty also quietened down. Everyone was working hard in their cultivation, especially the people in the Martial Temples. After receiving the guidance of the Book Spirit, each and every one of them began to work hard and be positive. In this world of great competition, they cultivated frantically, received an education, and nurtured their love for their country and their love for the people.

In such a quiet situation, some old people sighed and said, “This is the calm before the storm. A huge storm is about to sweep the world.”

Yes, a storm!

Lin Jiufeng was also experiencing a storm. It was very powerful and blew down on him.

The divine soul between his brows suddenly shone brightly. In his spiritual consciousness, waves of tsunamis-like sounds actually erupted. At the end of his divine soul, endless divine radiance rushed out like golden agate, forming a golden expanse, and it was accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Lin Jiufeng’s eyes were closed. His expression was calm as he was completely immersed in his cultivation.

At the side, the white cat stood up and watched silently.

At this moment, tens of thousands of divine lights exploded around Lin Jiufeng’s body. They were as gorgeous as rainbows. Golden waves surged between his brows, accompanied by waves of lightning and thunder. It was extremely turbulent.

Under the little white cat’s worried gaze, a violent tsunami was happening in Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual consciousness. The waves rushed into the sky, and the deafening tsunami sound seemed to be the galloping of a magnificent army. The little white cat shook her head forcefully, confirming that she wasn’t dreaming.

“The tsunamis are endless, the sounds are like thunder, and the waves are in tens of thousands…”

“Is this a divine soul?”

“Why do I feel that there’s really a sea in his spiritual consciousness?”

“Also, I saw a terrifying Fusang Divine Tree in his divine soul!”

“This is too terrifying. Just how powerful is this man?”

The white cat felt her mouth go dry. She looked at everything in front of her and was deeply shocked.

Everything in front of her was like a dream. The rumbling waves in her ears were like a magnificent army galloping and fighting.

At this moment, she seemed to be not standing in the Cold Palace but on the shore, facing a vast sea.

Lin Jiufeng had been quiet and motionless all this time. He sat there cross-legged as divine flowers bloomed in his spiritual consciousness. They were gorgeous and dazzling. There were waves that never stopped, golden lights that flickered, lightning that danced, and surging waves.

All of them appeared one by one between his brows. They were very intense, causing Lin Jiufeng’s aura to continuously rise.

Cultivating had never been a problem for Lin Jiufeng.

Now, he proved this.

Elder Universe’s Dao Fruit was really a great supplement for Lin Jiufeng.

What’s more, this wasn’t something he signed in to but had comprehended it himself.

Now, five energies appeared in his chest.

The heart was metal, the liver was wood, the spleen was water, the lungs were fire, and the kidneys were earth.

These five energies overlapped and slowly rose to his shoulder, meeting up with the three flowers.

A God’s Domain appeared around Lin Jiufeng. In this domain, there was the Sea Rising Bright Moon, the Great Dao Descending into the Mortal Realm, and the 12 Music of the Gods…

There was also a Buddha that he had comprehended.

This Buddha was round and naturally formed. It was completely naturally formed. It was dull, ancient, and natural. A faint Zen charm emanated from it.

This was what he had comprehended from Elder Universe’s Dao Fruit after cultivating till now.

The Buddha descended into Lin Jiufeng’s God’s Domain with a Bodhi Tree.

This Bodhi Tree had other names, which were the Tree of Wisdom, the Tree of Awakening, and the Tree of Thinking. It was said that it could awaken the divinity of humans and come to a realization with oneself.

Right now, Lin Jiufeng needed to combine the five energies in his chest with the three flowers to achieve the realm of Opening of the Three Flowers and Forming of the Five Energies.

All of these combined could allow him to undergo a second lightning tribulation.

After comprehending Elder Universe’s Dao Fruit, Lin Jiufeng went deep into it. Under the suppression of a Buddha carrying a Bodhi Tree, he wouldn’t lose himself. Now was the time to start.

Boom!

At this moment, Lin Jiufeng’s divine soul entered a profound realm. He felt auspicious colors descending from the sky, divine springs surging on the ground, and lotus flowers blooming. The branches of the Bodhi Tree were budding one after another.

There was divine light filling the sky, and dragons and phoenixes appeared. There was a longevity turtle spitting out auspicious energy, an auspicious kirin drawing in energy, purple energy coming from the east, and golden light coming from the west.

Five-colored divine light shone, and a seven-colored divine rainbow soared through the sky.

At this moment, he opened the five energies and three flowers in his body and received Elder Universe’s Dao Fruit. The numerous wonderful phenomena and the endless techniques appeared in his heart, his sea of consciousness, and his body.

It made Lin Jiufeng obsessed and unable to extricate himself.

This type of profound sound seemed to be the divine sound of the heavens resounding through the world, but it was also like the chanting of a holy song of the Great Dao, causing one to be intoxicated.

Lin Jiufeng was dazed and intoxicated.

This feeling was like having rain after a long drought in the desert. Vitality began to appear in the endless yellow sand.

At this moment, Lin Jiufeng felt that many windows had been opened all of a sudden. All sorts of divine light shot towards him, flowing to his limbs and bones. It made his body feel comfortable, and his flesh, organs, and bones were being nourished.

At this moment, his organs erupted with five boiling energies that began to nourish Lin Jiufeng’s body.

He comprehended the Great Dao and continued to cultivate.

One month!

Two months!

Three months!

It lasted for nine months.

During this period, various phenomena appeared around Lin Jiufeng. They were mysterious and impermanent, causing the little white cat to be shocked at first.

But towards the end, the white cat watched calmly.

Specks of divine light appeared around Lin Jiufeng. For a period of time, they first resembled stars, then resembled chaos. Then, they would breathe out and transform, flowing into the void. A hazy fog was born and shrouded Lin Jiufeng. Finally, divine lights appeared and shone in the surroundings. There were millions of changes, but they weren’t fixed.

In Lin Jiufeng’s spiritual consciousness, there was a golden sea. The Fusang Tree was in it, protecting Lin Jiufeng’s divine soul.

In his God’s Domain, there were countless changes.

In the huge God’s Domain, sometimes the galaxy filled the sky, and sometimes the sky was lonely.

Death and nirvana, growth and decline, cycle after cycle, repeating endlessly.

All of this lasted for nine months. After nine months, Lin Jiufeng opened his eyes and looked at the world.

A light shot straight out from his eyes, even piercing through the sky. He calmly retracted his gaze and let out a long breath.

“This is the longest non-stop seclusion I’ve ever gone into in my life. It’s so comfortable!” Lin Jiufeng said excitedly.

After nine months of seclusion, Lin Jiufeng’s gains were too great.

He had finally reached the Forming of the Five Energies stage.

Of course, without transcending the tribulation, it would never be complete. But transcending the tribulation was already nothing to Lin Jiufeng.

In these nine months, he had tempered his flesh, organs, and bones to become incomparably crystal clear. They were spotless and pure, like magnificent works of art.

Even his skin began to glow with a crystal-like luster. Powerful life energy was slowly flowing through his body.

With this body, Lin Jiufeng wasn’t worried at all about transcending the second lightning tribulation.

The first tribulation transcendence was the divine soul’s tribulation. It required the Opening of the Three Flowers, but there was no need for it this time.

Because the Forming of the Five Energies was from the body, the lightning tribulation this time also required the body to transcend the tribulation together.

This wasn’t difficult for Lin Jiufeng.

“Have you finished your seclusion?” The white cat asked in surprise.

After nine months, she was still as cute as ever, but her cultivation had reached the peak of the Spirit Platform Realm!

This was very good for the white cat. Her cultivation speed was becoming faster and faster.

“It’s over. What happened in the outside world in the past nine months?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

His skin and limbs were all spread open as he absorbed the surging spiritual energy. Sensing the intensity of the spiritual energy, his expression couldn’t help but become serious.

The density of the spiritual energy exceeded his expectations.

“In the past nine months, the recovery of the spiritual energy has been equivalent to more than a year. Therefore, in this era, immortals can already descend,” the white cat said to Lin Jiufeng.

As her words fell, Lin Jiufeng raised his head and looked at the world.

Rumble!

In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there was a forgotten world that had been sealed by Miss Hong nine months ago.

Miss Hong gave it a year’s time. This was what she calculated.

But plans couldn’t keep up with changes. The extent of this recovery of spiritual energy far exceeded everyone’s understanding.

No one knew that the speed of the recovery of spiritual energy would double. Everyone knew that it would be very soon, and they also knew that it would be in the near future.

But most people thought that it would be a year later, Lin Jiufeng thought so too.

But now, it had reached this level of recovery in nine months.

The forgotten world that Miss Hong had sealed truly appeared now. In an instant, dozens of terrifying auras rushed into the sky, surging the sky, the sun, moon, and the galaxy, causing a stir in the world.

The appearance of the forgotten world in the Hundred Thousand Mountains broke the ‘peace’ of the world.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

After these auras appeared, as if they had discussed it beforehand, the auras of countless False Immortals erupted in other places.

The False Immortal Patriarchs of the various major sects and factions were awakened by their impatient descendants.

This world entered the era of immortals!
