Chapter 122: G.o.d’s Domain

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Princess Yulin had been studying Lin Jiufeng’s sword strike for the past five years.

The more she understood, the weaker she felt.

This weakness existed in her own understanding.

But she could not be blamed for she had never known what true power was—as a result, she didn’t know that she was weak.

In the past, Princess Yulin thought that among the cultivators in this world, she was relatively strong. But after seeing Lin Jiufeng’s sword strike, she realized how ignorant she was.

Hence, Princess Yulin decided to cultivate diligently.

She traveled the world in the past five years.

She didn’t stay in the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty nor stayed behind closed doors to cultivate.

She walked past the misty lands of Jiangnan holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Her skirt slightly fluttered in the wind.

She walked across the plains outside the dynasty and went to Wolf Storey Mountain where she once fought for her freedom.

She traveled far and wide, paying her respects to the Dao ancestors in the famous mountains and great rivers of the Daoist sects.

Under the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, she prayed softly and wished that Buddha protected Lin Jiufeng. Five years later, she returned to the Imperial Capital to see her brother.

“In the past five years of traveling the world, how many sights have you seen?”

Emperor De lovingly looked at his younger sister. A smile was on his face.

The shrewd Emperor De in the eyes of the world had become gentle before Princess Yulin.

In the past five years, countless people had come to ask for her hand in marriage.

The descendants of aristocratic families, sect geniuses, hegemons from other countries, and even the rising talents of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty…

They were all charmed by Princess Yulin’s beauty.

For her hand in marriage, they even promised to only take her as their wives for their entire lives.

But Emperor De rejected them all.

“If Princess Yulin doesn’t want to marry, then she shan’t marry in her entire life. She has her family to accompany her if she feels lonely.”

The signal that Emperor De gave to the world was that he very much doted on Princess Yulin.

This pair of siblings had deeply loved each other for more than 30 years. Since the time they were born, they have cared for each other. Even now, their love and care for each other still existed.

“Brother Emperor, the major sects in the world have changed hands a few times in the years that pa.s.sed. It’s very hard to understand what belongs to who now and whose territory belonged to whom…” Princess Yulin explained.

“Every famous mountain and even the great rivers of the Daoist sects have changed owners. All sorts of terrifying sects have emerged one after another, including the Essence Qi Sect in the Plains, the Temple of G.o.ds in the Wild Lands, the Six Paths of the Demonic Sects, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower of the Buddhist Sects.”

Princess Yulin wore a solemn look.

Emperor De looked up into the sky and sighed.

“That’s right…”

“The recovery rate of the world’s spiritual energy had increased so fast that even though I have no spare time to cultivate. I still managed to make a breakthrough into the Human G.o.d Realm with the help of a few treasures…”

“It seems that those terrifying sects have started to notice this change and they are now making their presence known to this world, one after another.”

“Especially the Quan Zhen Sect of the Daoist Sects. I heard that Immortals once existed in this sect in the past. I reckon that they would be too strong for this world if they reappeared.”

Princess Yulin added.

“It’s not just the Daoist sects…”

“You’ve also been to the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower that recently appeared, right? Bodhisattvas and Arhats live there. Two of the three Buddhist sects in the Jiangnan area have already sided with them.” Emperor De was full of worries.

“There’s also the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Demonic Sects. They are yet again, another bunch of terrifying experts.”

“The appearance of various priests and their temples in the Wild Lands has further divided the world.”

“There’s also the hidden forces and the terrifying existences overseas. I also heard rumors that the Essence Qi G.o.d in the Plains is about to return.”

“With all of these added up, it would be surprising if the world right now wouldn’t be chaotic. The only thing that we can do is to do our best to stabilize the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty and nurture geniuses. This way, we can buy enough time until Big Grand-Uncle returns.”

Emperor De shared his worries with his sister.

Although he was the Emperor, he wasn’t that powerful, to begin with.

Now that he didn’t have Lin Jiufeng’s support, he was really afraid of making a mistake that would spell the end of the dynasty.

But he couldn’t tell anyone else about his worries.

He had to keep it in his heart and make plans for the world. He had to continue the façade of a scheming and shrewd Emperor. No one has to know that he was scared deep inside.

If he made a mistake, he would lose everything…

The entire Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty might very well collapse in his reign.

“Brother Emperor. Since I’ve already returned, I won’t be leaving anymore.”

Princess Yulin smiled.

“Good, good, very good!”

“It’s a great coincidence that you returned this time…”

“Recently, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect is on the move once again. They have always been making a few small moves here and there, but it seems that they still have no idea that I already know everything about their schemes. I was just worried that no one could deal with them.”

Emperor De sneered.

“The Zenith Heaven Path Sect has made a fortune in secret. I wonder, just how much of their original strength have they recovered by now? We have to be careful in dealing with them.”

Princess Yulin advised.

“It’s fine…”

“I have my own ways to deal with the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. They are so close to the imperial capital, yet they still want to jump around. What a joke.” Emperor De coldly snorted.

“Since you’ve just returned, you should rest for a few days and accompany Mother for a while. Then afterwards, I want you to make a trip to the Zenith Heaven Path Sect and coerce them into depositing all of their secret manuals into our martial temples.” Emperor De said.

“They’ll be mad…”

Princess Yulin looked at Emperor De in surprise.

To coerce a sect into publicizing their secret manuals and techniques…

That was an offense—no less than trying to annihilate their sect itself.

“I won’t give them a chance to be mad. Just do what I say. I will handle everything,” Emperor De said confidently.

The war machine that Lin Jiufeng gave to him five years ago had remained in seclusion for the past five years. It continuously absorbed spiritual energy as it did its best to recover its original strength.

After five years, it was about time for it to make a move.

‘Our enemies have become restless once again after these five years of peace…’

‘If we suppressed the Zenith Heaven Path Sect this time—that would be akin to killing two birds with one stone. All right, I shall use them to intimidate our enemies…”

“Our enemies should just fight each other in the cultivation world. As long as they do not deliberately provoke the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty, there should be no problems.’ Emperor De silently thought.

It was time to reveal the trump card that Lin Jiufeng gave to him back then.

Five years pa.s.sed in the Cold Palace.

Dust and cobwebs were everywhere.

After being uninhabited for such a long time, it wasn’t strange that it became like this.

Without Lin Jiufeng and the white cat, the Cold Palace lost its sense of life and its condition rapidly deteriorated.

Deep underground, in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy…

Lin Jiufeng never once went out in the past five years. His strength rapidly improved as he continuously signed in and received valuable treasures, day after day.

But most of them were consumed by the white cat.

Speaking of the white cat…

She successfully made a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Lin Jiufeng also managed to receive a Divine Grade Grotto-heaven as a daily reward.

He immediately gave it to the white cat.

Lin Jiufeng treated the white cat very well.

He exerted a lot of energy when he opened up the white cat’s grotto-heaven and integrated it with the Divine Grade Grotto-heaven that he gave the white cat.

As a result of his actions, the white cat’s potential was greatly increased.

Her cultivation base’s foundation had also become deeper.

This way, the white cat could be like Lin Jiufeng.

She could walk the path of strengthening her one and only Grotto-heaven.

She did not have to form other grotto-heavens to advance in her cultivation.

Today, Lin Jiufeng visited a tomb.

“Sign in,” Lin Jiufeng said.

[Sign-In successful. Received Four Symbols Purgatory Array!]

A huge formation blueprint and four statues appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s hands.

The four symbols symbolized the Vermillion Bird, the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, and the White Tiger. When the four statues and the formation blueprint were activated, a huge array formation would appear.

‘It’s a pity that it isn’t too useful to me. The white cat also has no use for this either.’

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and stored the array into his domain.

“It’s time for me to make a breakthrough into an even higher realm…” Lin Jiufeng muttered.

He had already cultivated his domain to an extremely terrifying level.

According to the introduction of the [Yin-Yang Mandara Great Domain] technique, Lin Jiufeng discovered that his domain had surpa.s.sed every domain ever recorded.

With his domain not having a name, Lin Jiufeng himself gave it a name.

[G.o.d’s Domain]

The meaning behind the name was simple.

In his domain, he was a G.o.d.

An omnipotent G.o.d.
