Chapter 305: Inviting God

[Sign-In successful. Received a map of the God Race Village!]

These words appeared before Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

His expression changed and he was surprised. Just now, he was still talking about whether there were any descendants of the God Race being passed down. Now, he signed in for this map. Even the heavens were helping him.

In a good mood, Lin Jiufeng picked up his wine cup and drank it in one gulp. Then, he continued to chat with Zhou Qing and Zuo Muyun.

After three rounds of drinking, the effect of the 10,000-year-old wine was quite strong. They didn’t resist the wine effect forcefully. Therefore, the faces of the three people turned slightly red. Their mood was quite high at his moment.

Zuo Muyun looked at Lin Jiufeng and gave him a thumbs up. “It’s really the blessing of this era for a person like Great Emperor Jiufeng to exist in this era.”

Zhou Qing nodded and agreed. “That’s right. In the previous eras of spiritual energy recovery, I came down to ferry immortals into the Celestial Realm and witnessed the tragic state of the era of spiritual energy recovery. It’s completely incomparable to the current prosperity.”

Lin Jiufeng waved his hand. “This era wasn’t created by me alone. It was built by the millions of officials and common people of the Yuhua God Dynasty.”

“There’s no need to be humble. We can still see this clearly. Without Great Emperor Jiufeng, there wouldn’t be the Yuhua God Dynasty.” Zhou Qing shook his head. He took a sip of wine, his eyes dazed as if he was looking back at the previous eras.

“I clearly remember that 5,000 years ago, when I came out to recruit the immortals and stood on the Immortal Road to look at the mortal world, it was really a purgatory. Cultivators ran amok. A single battle could destroy hundreds of thousands of common people and bring disaster to the people. In an era of spiritual energy recovery, large numbers of ordinary people died. Whether it was intentional or not, even if they were hundreds of miles away, the aftershocks of a battle could sweep the common people away. What’s more, the common people had no one to complain to or ask for support,” Zhou Qiong said.

Lin Jiufeng and Zuo Muyun were speechless.

“This is what I respect the most about Great Emperor Jiufeng. To the common people, the national policy that the Yuhua God Dynasty has set up is simply a paradise in the mortal world. It’s harmonious and beautiful. In such a magnificent era, the Yuhua God Dynasty not only protected the common people but also gave the common people hope. It nurtured so many immortals and practically gave all of the people a chance to cultivate. Through the river of time, this is a type of broad-mindedness that only Great Emperor Jiufeng has!!” Zuo Muyun toasted Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng drank it all in one gulp. He smiled slightly and said, “You guys are praising me so much that I’m embarrassed. I’ve always insisted on a dream, and that is that everyone will become talented. Everyone has a chance to become talented. In such a good era, the world of the living shouldn’t become a purgatory. The world of the living should be filled with benign competition. Even the common people at the bottom of society have a chance of becoming immortals. Although talent is needed, the Yuhua God Dynasty is nurturing them for free, allowing the bottom-level people, who have been ignored by countless people in the past, to truly erupt with a huge amount of energy.”

Zhou Qing and Zuo Muyun listened attentively. It was obvious that they were very interested in Lin Jiufeng’s words.

Because since ancient times, there had never been a dynasty that did this.

This was very new and attractive to them.

“The might of an individual’s strength is an individual’s matter. But for a nation and a dynasty to be powerful, they need to be powerful from top to bottom.”

“What is the most common thing in this era?”

“Cultivators? Myriad Races? Cultivation techniques? Or aristocratic families?”

“The most common thing is humans!”

“Common and extremely ordinary humans.”

“They are farmers who have lived their entire lives in the yellow soil and facing the sky. They are the common people at the bottom who have lived a very bitter life and can’t see hope. There are hundreds of millions of them, but they have never been taken seriously. They are treated as leeks and reaped back and forth.”

“If the Yuhua God Dynasty continues to learn from its predecessors, it will be seeking death. The Yuhua God Dynasty needs to be reformed, so from Emperor Yuan onwards, I have been silently supporting from behind the scenes.”

“I believe that the future of the Yuhua God Dynasty will definitely be in the hands of these people. This is because their base numbers are huge. Once their wisdom is developed and has channels to improve, the mortal world will also surpass the so-called Immortal Court and the so-called Celestial Realm.”

“The mortal realm will be equal to paradise!”

Lin Jiufeng said firmly.

His ideals, Emperor De’s ideals, and the Yuhua God Dynasty’s ideals.

It was all written into the new laws of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Zhou Qing and Zuo Muyun’s blood boiled as they listened. They had no doubt that these words were true.

Because this was what the Yuhua God Dynasty had always been doing and was doing it beautifully.

They weren’t people with vision disorder, nor were they people with incomplete intelligence.

With their own judgment, they could see how the lives of the ordinary people were and the channels for them to improve in this era.

Currently, hundreds of people in the Yuhua God Dynasty were breaking through to the Immortal Realm every day. Many of them were the children of the common people who were once at the bottom.

If it weren’t for the Yuhua God Dynasty and Lin Jiufeng, they would still be at the bottom of the food chain now. They would continue to live the lives of their ancestors and live tough lives. One day, they might accidentally pass away.

“You two, you are currently living in seclusion in the Yuhua God Dynasty. Do I have the honor to invite you two to join the Yuhua God Dynasty and contribute to the Human Race and the most difficult dream of this world?” Seeing that the two were excited, Lin Jiufeng decisively sent out an invitation.

Inviting them to join the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Zuo Muyun and Zhou Qing weren’t ordinary immortals. They had cultivated in the Immortal Realm for a long time. Although they hadn’t broken through the threshold to the next realm, it would be simple for them to break through soon in the current era.

If they joined the Yuhua God Dynasty, the strength of the Yuhua God Dynasty would rise to another level.

Zhou Qing and Zuo Muyun looked at each other. Hearing Lin Jiufeng’s invitation, the two of them smiled at each other. Then, they raised their wine cups and said, “We accept.”

Lin Jiufeng laughed out loud. He was in a good mood. He raised his wine cup and clinked it with theirs, then drank it all in one gulp.

“You two can go and look for Emperor De tomorrow. Tell him that I recommended you to go there and arranged for you two to go to the Martial Temple to manage it. There are more and more immortals now, and the management of the Martial Temple also needs to keep up with the times. You guys are just in time to nurture the countless people at the bottom and let their children become dragons and phoenixes.” Lin Jiufeng got up, arranged their duties for them, and then turned to leave.

Lin Jiufeng already knew what he wanted to know. In addition, he also received a map. To Lin Jiufeng, he had enjoyed his meal. He didn’t plan to continue disturbing Zhou Qing and Zuo Muyun.

The key was that he had finished drinking the good wine and therefore left chicly.

Zhou Qing and Zuo Muyun looked at each other.

“I’ve never been a teacher before, but I’m looking forward to it.” Zhou Qing chuckled.

“I’ve been living in a muddled state for half my life, and I’ve never had a clear goal all this time. But now, I’ve found a new direction. Like a ship that has lost its way on the sea, I’ve found a sea route. In the future, I will work hard for the Martial Temple,” Zuo Muyun said firmly.

He had previously fallen into darkness and given up his identity as a human. He had always regretted it. Now that Lin Jiufeng gave him this chance, he must make a contribution to the Human Race.

…

Lin Jiufeng left Zuo Muyun’s courtyard. He wasn’t in a hurry to return to the Cold Palace. Instead, he opened the map that he had received from signing in.

This was a map of the God Race Village.

For Lin Jiufeng, it was very important to go to this village and obtain information about the God Race.

The map was made of an unknown material and was well-preserved. Some of the routes on it were clearly marked.

But there was one thing. The roads and locations on this map were not from this era.

Lin Jiufeng frowned as he looked at it. “With the changes of the era, the names of the various places are constantly changing. The names on the maps from more than 10,000 years ago or even 20,000 years ago weren’t passed down. This is a problem.”

He had a map and a name, but he just couldn’t find it.

Because the map was different from the current era.

Moreover, in the past 20,000 years, many roads had long disappeared in the long river of history.

This was also a problem.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the map carefully, speechless.

“I need to find someone to help me read this map.” Lin Jiufeng thought carefully. Who could help him decipher this map?

After thinking for a while, a person appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s mind.

Miss Hong!

Heavenly Dao Sect’s Miss Hong!

The Holy Maiden who was deeply entangled with him at the beginning, the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Miss Hong, was also a woman who carried her ideals and persisted to the end.

It had been many years since Lin Jiufeng last parted ways with her.

Previously, Lin Jiufeng had met her a few times in the Mountain Sea Realm.

But after there was no news of her elders, senior brothers, and senior sisters, Miss Hong became disheartened. She brought the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect and began to live in seclusion.

Then, after the emergence of the Myriad Races, Lin Jiufeng also met her in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

That time was the last time she fulfilled the responsibility of being a member of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

She sealed a very powerful race among the Myriad Races.

But the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race weren’t on good terms with her. A conflict broke out and she almost went to look for her senior brothers, sisters, and master in the afterlife.

It was also Lin Jiufeng who saved her at the crucial moment.

Then, he handed Elder Universe’s secret manual to her. It was the supreme secret manual of the Heavenly Dao Sect. It had been lost, but Lin Jiufeng obtained it and handed it to her.

Since then, until now, the two of them had never met again.

He didn’t know where Miss Hong went.

She should be comprehending the supreme mystic technique of the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Universe Clock.

This was Elder Universe’s mystic technique. He also used this secret technique to kill his way into the Immortal Court in that era and buried the immortal spirits, gods, and the Immortal Court of the old era!

Lin Jiufeng personally handed the Universe Clock technique to Miss Hong. Then, the two of them never interacted again.

“Where exactly is Miss Hong currently at?” Lin Jiufeng murmured.

He thought about it carefully. He thought about all the places where Miss Hong had appeared previously.

After a long time, an idea came to Lin Jiufeng’s mind.

He remembered a place.

Northwest Territory, Mountain Sea Realm.

“That place buried Miss Hong’s master, senior brothers, and senior sisters. It buried the absolute main force of the Heavenly Dao Sect in the previous era. They were the people she treasured the most. If I were Miss Hong, I would definitely choose to live in seclusion there,” Lin Jiufeng said firmly.

He made up his mind. He took a step forward and changed the space around him. At a speed incomprehensible to ordinary people, he rushed to the Northwest Territory, the Mountain Sea Realm.

In the past, he lived in the depths of the Northwest Territory for a few years and signed in countless treasures. His gains were huge.

Now that he was here again, what greeted his eyes was a completely different Northwest Territory from before.

The national policies of the Yuhua God Dynasty had been stable over the years. The Myriad Races no longer stirred up trouble. The common people’s lives had improved. The once deserted Northwest Territory was now filled with people.

The desert had turned into green lands, and the rolling yellow soil also disappeared.

All of this displayed the merits of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s governance.

Lin Jiufeng walked across the Northwest Territory and went deep into the Mountain Sea Realm. He saw that the situation there was still the same as before.

There were few people here. There was an oasis and a single city here. It was well-preserved.

Here, it was still a boundless desert. The Yuhua God Dynasty retained this place as its original state, allowing the descendants of the Yuhua God Dynasty to see what a boundless desert was like.

But the once crowded ancient city was now empty. The entrance was open.

Lin Jiufeng walked closer and saw a red-robed girl fishing by the lake.

The door that floated in the center of the lake had already sunk. The small world had integrated into the main world and was no longer an independent world.

The red-robed girl was very beautiful. Time had never left a mark on her body. Instead, it gave her composure and elegance.

She was very powerful and was at the Immortal Realm.

“Long time no see, Great Emperor Jiufeng!” The red-robed girl’s voice was gentle as she turned to look at Lin Jiufeng with a smile.

Her beautiful eyes turned around and her beautiful hair fluttered in the breeze, passing through Lin Jiufeng’s heart.

It was like a pool of spring water, slightly wrinkled and rippling.

Lin Jiufeng’s heart quickly calmed down. He also smiled and said, “Long time no see.”

It had really been a long time.

How many decades could a mortal live for?

“You unlocked the Nine Restrictions?” Lin Jiufeng walked over and asked curiously.

“Yes, I just entered this realm a few days ago. It’s all thanks to you giving me the mystic technique, the Universe Clock.” Miss Hong smiled sweetly. It seemed that her mood had improved after meeting Lin Jiufeng.

“I wanted to look for you, but there was no news or traces of you. Over the years, there have been turbulent times in the outside world and countless geniuses have emerged, but there’s no news of that Miss Hong who suppressed the world back then. I have to say, it’s a pity.” Lin Jiufeng stood beside Miss Hong and looked at the familiar lake as he said.

Miss Hong sat there, her red clothes spread out like a flirtatious blooming flower.

Lin Jiufeng stood beside her in white, accentuating her beauty and nobility.

“Everyone has their regrets, but without Miss Hong in this world, there’s still the indomitable Great Emperor Jiufeng. This is enough,” Miss Hong said.

“How have you been all these years?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Not bad. When I left the Hundred Thousand Mountains back then, the world was huge, but it made me feel afraid and empty. I could go anywhere I wanted, but at the same time, I had nowhere to go, and no attachment. In the end, I still came here. At the very least, this is the closest place to my master and the others,” Miss Hong said calmly. After the baptism of time, she could also tell this story that she once didn’t dare to face very calmly.

Her heart would still ache a little. But the feeling of being lost back then no longer existed.

“Why have you come to look for me this time?” Miss Hong quickly composed herself. She looked up at Lin Jiufeng and asked.

Lin Jiufeng wasn’t embarrassed. He took out the map and handed it to Miss Hong. He said, “Help me take a look at the location of this map. Where is it today?”

Miss Hong observed carefully. She frowned and said, “It’s still a little difficult to find the exact location of such a map from ages ago.”

“If there are no difficulties, I won’t come to look for you,” Lin Jiufeng said with a smile.

“You really believe that I can handle it?” Miss Hong squinted at Lin Jiufeng.

“When I encountered this problem, only you appeared in my mind. There was no one else, so I came,” Lin Jiufeng said seriously.

Miss Hong pursed her lips. Her heart warmed. She lowered her head and seriously recorded the names of each place. Then, she stood up and walked towards the ancient city.

Lin Jiufeng immediately followed Miss Hong into this ancient city that he was once very familiar with.

But now, there were very few people in this ancient city. There was only Miss Hong and her disciples.

Miss Hong lived in seclusion here. She recruited dozens of disciples and then nurtured them carefully to continue the legacy of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Hence, this ancient city was the foundation of the Heavenly Dao Sect now.

Miss Hong had already moved all the books of the Heavenly Dao Sect here and settled down here.

Previously, Lin Jiufeng had already read all the books in the Heavenly Dao Sect’s library, but this time, Miss Hong didn’t use this method.

“Do you know there’s a mystic technique in the Heavenly Dao Sect called Inviting God?” Miss Hong asked Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head. “I don’t know. What’s the use of this mystic technique?”

“This mystic technique can invite my former ancestors to descend and tell me some information,” Miss Hong said.

“That powerful?” Lin Jiufeng looked at her in surprise.

“It’s indeed quite powerful, but the restrictions are also huge,” Miss Hong said.

“This requires you to ask the ancestor you are inviting to be a very powerful existence and to have left his own traces in the long river of history. This way, even if he has already died and disintegrated, there will still be traces of him existing in this world. Only then could the Inviting God mystic technique succeed.”

“Moreover, once it succeeds, it will also be a huge burden for the one who executed this mystic technique. The body of the person must bear the terrifying pressure of the ancestor, so no one will be willing to try using this mystic technique.”

“But we’ve known each other for so many years, I’m willing to use this mystic technique for you this once. Treat it as returning a favor.”

Miss Hong said to Lin Jiufeng with a smile.

Lin Jiufeng frowned and asked, “Is it very oppressive to your body?”

Miss Hong tilted her head cutely. She thought for a while and said, “It’s not that big. I’m not weak either. Although I’m not as powerful as you, I can still withstand it.”

“Moreover, this mystic technique is hidden in the secret manual you gave me. If you didn’t give this mystic technique to me, I won’t be able to use it either. Therefore, doing good deeds causes good results. Congratulations, you have found the right person.” Miss Hong patted her chest and teased Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng smiled and stopped talking. He followed Miss Hong to a hall.

In the center of this hall, countless memorial tablets were enshrined. They were all past seniors of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

“These are the ancestors of the Heavenly Dao Sect. These are my master, senior brothers, and senior sisters.” Miss Hong introduced.

Lin Jiufeng bowed seriously and then looked at Miss Hong. “Have you completely let go?”

The previous Miss Hong didn’t admit that these people had died. She was willing to live in the fake story that she had constructed, she didn’t want to accept this cruel truth.

But now, she faced it calmly and said, “I’m no longer a young girl. I can’t deceive myself anymore.”

After all these years, both the young boy and young girl had grown up.

Miss Hong pointed at the one with the highest-ranking and said, “That’s Elder Universe, the person I’m inviting this time. I will communicate with him. When the time comes, I will ask for the names of these places and tell you the result. Help me keep guard and don’t let anyone disturb me.”

Lin Jiufeng nodded seriously.

“Go out now and close the door. I will help you ask for answers.” Miss Hong waved Lin Jiufeng out and stood elegantly in front of the memorial tablet.

Lin Jiufeng walked out and slowly closed the door.

The door gradually closed. The sunlight also constantly shrank and locked onto Miss Hong. She looked at Lin Jiufeng with a flower-like smile.

Boom!

Until the door was completely closed, it was as if they were in two different worlds.

Miss Hong looked at the closed door. The luster on her face dimmed. She turned around and looked at the countless rankings. She revealed a happy smile and said softly, “The Inviting God mystic technique that can only be executed once per lifetime. What kind of feeling is it? I’ll give it a try.”
