Chapter 294: A Real Man

Zuo Muyun and Zhou Qing left. They stepped onto the Immortal Road and entered the Celestial Realm.

The mirage-like Celestial Realm disappeared on the horizon just like that, as if it never existed.

But everyone knew that it really existed.

Including the Myriad Races, they were all surprised in their hearts. It turned out that outside of this world, there was another world called the Celestial Realm.

For a time, many of the Myriad Races yearned to leave this purgatory called the mortal realm and enter the Celestial Realm.

But in reality, they didn’t know that this so-called Celestial Realm was like a vampire, lying on the body of this world and frantically sucking blood.

Lin Jiufeng had already decided to destroy this Celestial Realm.

For this reason, he convinced Zhou Qing, not through force, but the promise of freedom.

After being imprisoned in the Celestial Realm for more than 10,000 years, Zhou Qing had long wanted to escape, but he had never had a chance. Now that he had encountered Lin Jiufeng, the opportunity was right in front of him. Zhou Qing didn’t want to miss it. He wanted to give it a try.

Hence, he took Zuo Muyun away and went back to report.

The remnants of the former Immortal Court in the Celestial Realm would never have imagined that the waters in this main world were so deep. Not only was there an immortal like Zuo Muyun who existed from more than 10,000 years ago, but there was also a genius like Lin Jiufeng who ascended to an immortal in the secular world.

After replacing the little white cat with Zuo Muyun to ensure her safety, Lin Jiufeng held her hand and returned to the Cold Palace.

In the Cold Palace, everything was different from before. In the past six years, Lin Jiufeng had managed the place in an orderly manner.

The peach blossoms shone and fell, creating a pink path. As the little white cat watched, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise. She reached out and hugged Lin Jiufeng’s arm, her face full of happiness.

“You planted all of these?” The little white cat asked in surprise.

“Of course. I planted these myself.” Lin Jiufeng nodded. This was part of his cultivation in ascending to an immortal in the secular world.

“It’s actually quite good for the abandoned Cold Palace to become like this,” the little white cat said with a flower-like smile.

In Lin Jiufeng’s eyes, the bright and beautiful peach blossoms made the little white cat seem even more beautiful as she walked through them.

Human being more beautiful than flowers.

Peach blossoms complementing the beauty.

Both of these phrases could be used on the little white cat.

The little white cat leaned on Lin Jiufeng and wandered under the peach blossom trees. She looked around the scenery of the Cold Palace and finally sat on a bench, saying what was in her heart.

“Why wasn’t there any movement when you broke through to the Immortal Realm?” The white cat asked curiously.

“I became an immortal through the secular world. When I became an immortal, my aura wasn’t very strong on the outside. It was restrained, domineering, and I silently completed the transformation,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“I didn’t become an immortal through the secular world. My bloodline power erupted and I broke through to the Immortal Realm,” the little white cat said softly.

“Bloodline power? You have the White Tiger Bloodline?” Lin Jiufeng asked. He had previously checked the little white cat’s bloodline. It seemed to be related to the White Tiger, so he had always guessed that the little white cat was a tigress.

“No.” The white cat rolled her eyes at Lin Jiufeng coquettishly.

“The White Tiger is one of the Four Great Divine Beasts, but in front of my bloodline, it’s nothing much,” the little white cat said.

“As one of the Four Great Divine Beasts, the White Tiger Bloodline is nothing much in front of your bloodline?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the little white cat in surprise.

The little white cat nodded slightly.

“Then, what exactly is your bloodline?” Lin Jiufeng was very curious.

The little white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng awkwardly.

“I don’t know where my bloodline comes from either,” the little white cat said.

“But… didn’t you already transform? You still have no way of pursuing the source of your bloodline?” Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.

“That’s right. Although I’ve transformed, my bloodline is still an unknown mystery. I can’t figure out what bloodline it is at all. The source power hidden deep in my bloodline also didn’t listen to my orders. It only helped me when I broke through. A force emerged from it, pus.h.i.+ng me to break through at that time.” The little white cat explained in detail.

Lin Jiufeng had discussed with her the problem of her bloodline many times, but they weren’t able to figure it out. It remained a mystery.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t know where the Demon Lord picked up the little white cat back then, but this made him very curious.

“Why is your bloodline so mysterious? You’re already an immortal.” Lin Jiufeng was puzzled.

“I don’t know either.” The little white cat leaned in Lin Jiufeng’s arms, aggrieved. “I’ve always paid close attention to the evolution of my bloodline. The moment I transformed, I saw the tip of the iceberg of my bloodline.”

“The tip of the iceberg, what is it?” Lin Jiufeng cupped the little white cat’s delicate face and asked.

“It’s a huge sea of blood with countless divine beasts wors.h.i.+ping around it. The Four Great Divine Beasts are also there. That’s why I said that the White Tiger Bloodline isn’t as powerful as my bloodline,” the little white cat said.

“A huge sea of blood?” Lin Jiufeng held the little white cat’s soft hand, and his expression became serious.

“Relax your body and don’t resist. Let me check your body and see if I can come into contact with your bloodline,” Lin Jiufeng said to the little white cat.

“Okay.” The little white cat leaned into Lin Jiufeng’s arms. Smelling Lin Jiufeng’s scent, her entire body relaxed. She closed her eyes and let Lin Jiufeng freely do whatever he wanted to.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng’s huge mental strength smoothly entered the little white cat’s body, flowing along the blood flow into her heart.

The core of her bloodline was in her heart.

The little white cat’s heart beat powerfully, bursting with blood and circulated repeatedly.

In this blood, there was a special kind of divinity that far exceeded the blood of ordinary people. Even for Lin Jiufeng, his blood had no divinity.

The source of this divinity was unknown, but it was extremely special. Lin Jiufeng’s mental strength integrated into the blood, and the little white cat didn’t resist at all. Just like that, the blood brought him into a vast world.

It was a world of doomsday wastelands. The sky was gray and filled with smoke. In several places, it seemed to be patched up. It was like an exquisite piece of canvas. But due to the pa.s.sage of time, several pieces had been torn apart. Then, these pieces were being st.i.tched up with needles and thread.

There were countless ravines on the ground. From a high place, they looked like the blood veins of humans. Thick blood flowed from these ravines and was transmitted to the little white cat.

Following these ravines and advancing step by step, Lin Jiufeng’s mental strength solidified and what he saw was very shocking.

Just as the little white cat said, it was a sea of blood.

Vast, huge, dense, and terrifying.

But this sea of blood wasn’t that b.l.o.o.d.y. Instead, it emitted the radiance of divinity, dying half the sky red.

At the edge of the sea of blood, there were indeed many Holy Beasts paying their respects.

True Dragon, Divine Phoenix, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and so on…

These Holy Beasts had already become fossils. They had existed here for countless years.

Lin Jiufeng just watched. This sea of blood was the source of her bloodline.

The sea of blood was indeed a sea of blood, but he didn’t know its origins at all.

Lin Jiufeng walked to the side. He wanted to enter the sea of blood, but the divine light rebounded and didn’t let him go down.

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

Suddenly, a line of words appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng’s eyes. He was delighted. This sea of blood could actually be signed in?

“Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng really didn’t expect that he could sign in even though he was now a spiritual body. What a pleasant surprise!

[Sign-In successful. Received a Golden Lotus Flower!]

A resplendent golden lotus flower appeared on Lin Jiufeng’s body, emitting a faint glow. There were twelve leaves, and in these leaves, a blood-red glow lingered. Together with the exterior golden color, it looked very demonic.

“What’s this?” Lin Jiufeng didn’t understand. He began to look at the information of the golden lotus.

[This is a golden lotus born from the sea of blood. It has a magical effect.]

This was the so-called information.

“Everyone could see that it has a magical effect. Giving this information is equivalent to not telling me anything.” Lin Jiufeng complained.

Looking at the golden lotus flower, Lin Jiufeng was rather helpless. He thought that it was something that could investigate the origins of the little white cat’s bloodline, but it seemed that this wouldn’t work.

Lin Jiufeng continued to circle around the sea of blood a few more times. He found nothing, so he could only choose to leave.

He left with the golden lotus flower.

The huge divine consciousness returned to reality and entered his body together with the golden lotus flower. Lin Jiufeng opened his palm. The golden lotus flower appeared.

“Do you know what this lotus flower is?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“I don’t recognize this flower.” The little white cat observed carefully. Then, she shook her head and said, “But the aura on this seems familiar to me as if it comes from the same source as my bloodline.”

Lin Jiufeng nodded. He handed the golden lotus flower to the little white cat and said, “Take this well and refine it carefully. Although I don’t know what its use is, there’s no doubt that it has something to do with your bloodline.”

Lin Jiufeng had no use for the golden lotus flower anyway, so he might as well give it to the little white cat.

The little white cat put it away. She had accompanied Lin Jiufeng for 100 years, and they were already inseparable since a long time ago.

Although the white cat was curious about Lin Jiufeng’s treasures, she never asked.

Everyone had their own privacy, why ask in detail?

“What are your plans for the next three months?” The little white cat asked softly, her eyes showing worry.

After all, three months later, Lin Jiufeng would go to the Celestial Realm to fight against the old and young descendants of the Immortal Court.

“I want to travel around and experience the culture of different places,” Lin Jiufeng said.

He wanted to go around to sign in everywhere.

In fact, there were many places in this world that Lin Jiufeng hadn’t gone to. He had always signed in at the Cold Palace in the imperial capital. Occasionally, he would go out, but he only signed in along the way. He didn’t take the initiative to sign in at specific places.

This time, it was different. Lin Jiufeng was taking the initiative to go to the core area of the major races and began signing in.

In three months, he believed that his cultivation base would once again climb onto a new step.

“Bring me along.” The little white cat’s watery eyes were filled with desire.

“You have just broken through to the Immortal Realm. Stay in the Cold Palace. Look after this place for me and take care of everything here. When I come out of the Celestial Realm, I will come and marry you. I will give you a grand wedding,” Lin Jiufeng cupped the little white cat’s little face and said solemnly.

The little white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng pitifully. “But I haven’t seen you for six years. I’ve only seen you now, and now I have to part ways with you. I can’t bear to part with you.”

Muack!

Lin Jiufeng planted a kiss on the little white cat’s red lips and said with a smile, “Do you still can’t bear to part with me now?”

The little white cat’s face was pink and delicate. The love in her eyes was about to flow out. She said sweetly, “I can’t bear to part with you even more now.”

“You are really a greedy kitten,” Lin Jiufeng stroked the little white cat’s nose and said lovingly.

“I’m a greedy little cat towards you only. I don’t care. You have to accompany me for a few days.” The little white cat acted coquettishly.

Her well-shaped body rubbed against Lin Jiufeng’s. Like dry wood meeting fire, Lin Jiufeng was instantly ignited.

“You are seeking trouble.” Lin Jiufeng immediately carried up the little white cat’s well-developed and delicate body and walked straight to the courtyard.

Plap!

The door to the courtyard instantly closed. The inside of the house was filled with a pink atmosphere.

Outside the house, a pair of magpies were sleeping with their necks crossed against each other.

Inside the house, a male and a female who had known each other for a hundred years were sleeping on the same bed.

——

When everything was over and the clouds and rain stopped, the couple hugged each other and enjoyed a beautiful moment.

It was already dawn.

[Became a real man. Do you wish to Sign-In?]

A reminder appeared before Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

He was speechless.

‘Could it be that the previous me wasn’t a man?’ Lin Jiufeng complained in his heart.

This Sign-In System was really ridiculous. It could even use this thing to sign in.

Lin Jiufeng felt disdainful.

Then, he decisively agreed. “Sign in!”

Although he felt disdainful, he still wanted to sign in. After all, who wouldn’t want something for free?

[Sign-In successful. Received the t.i.tle of ‘Real Man’!]

Lin Jiufeng looked at this line of words and became even more speechless.

‘Just a t.i.tle?’ Lin Jiufeng thought that there would be a special gift.

But he only signed in for a t.i.tle. This was very rare in his hundred-year career of signing in.

After all, t.i.tles were rare. Lin Jiufeng didn’t even know what use they had.

He checked the message.

[This is a gift to congratulate you on your coming of age. The t.i.tle of a real man. Once you wear it, your physical strength will increase by 30% and your soul strength by 30%.]

Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng was surprised.

This was a supreme treasure!

It was even more powerful than a defensive immortal artifact.

If Lin Jiufeng’s physical strength was at a stat of ten, then wearing this t.i.tle and increasing it by 30%, giving him an extra three stats points for free.

This looked inconspicuous and didn’t seem to be very powerful.

But a.s.suming that Lin Jiufeng’s physical strength stat was 100,000, wearing this t.i.tle would increase this stat by more than 30,000.

This was extremely terrifying, much more powerful than an immortal artifact.

“Equip it,” Lin Jiufeng said hurriedly.

This t.i.tle greatly increased the strength of his body.

His body was already at an invincible stage, but now, it became even more terrifying.

His confidence in destroying the Celestial Realm was even greater now.

‘Thinking of it like this, I don’t feel sad at all about the sign in this time.’ Lin Jiufeng was secretly delighted.

He looked at the tired little white cat who had fallen asleep beside him and kissed her gently. Then, he hugged the little white cat with a blissful expression.

…

During this day when Lin Jiufeng accompanied the little white cat, they didn’t even get out of bed.

The couple who tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time was especially clingy when they were together, unwilling to part ways.

If they didn’t squeeze themselves dry, they wouldn’t be willing to let go.

The white cat wasn’t a weak woman. She was the first immortal in this world, so it was very difficult for Lin Jiufeng to deal with her.

The next day, Lin Jiufeng got out of bed with great willpower and walked into the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.

The little white cat wanted to ask him to stay, but he really had not even a drop left. It was better to leave first and recover.

Entering the Land of Extremely Negative Energy, a line of words suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

[Returned to the Land of Extremely Negative Energy. Do you wish to Sign in?]

Lin Jiufeng signed in decisively.

He wasn’t surprised anymore. As long as he came here once every six months to a year, he would be able to trigger a sign-in.

[Sign-In successful. Received a leaf from the Dao Comprehension Tea Tree!]
