Chapter 409: Traces of Bai Mao’er
The City Lord of the Hundred Battles City agreed to Lin Jiufeng’s request without hesitation.
He had infinite beautiful wild thoughts and love for the mortal realm. This was the land that gave birth to and raised him. Even though 20,000 years had pa.s.sed, the world had changed, and everything that he once knew in his memory had disappeared. Things in the mortal realm were no longer as he remembered.
But he still loved this land. It was still the same sentence. He had infinite beautiful fantasies and love for the mortal realm.
The City Lord of the Hundred Battles City said, “In the past, although we had already reached the Immortal King Realm, we were ignorant. We still didn’t know much about the battle between the Immortal Court and the G.o.d Race. We didn’t know that there was actually such a deep story hidden behind it. The Seven Races of the Ancient Age wiped out the past several times and played the mortal realm in the palm of their hands. This is unforgivable to me.”
Lin Jiufeng also said, “Therefore, at this moment, I want to unite the power of the mortal realm because I want to fight with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. Just like our ancestors, at the end of countless eras, we’ll do our best to fight back. The predecessors failed, but they have also acc.u.mulated countless experiences for future generations. We are at the peak of this era, so we have to protect the people of the world and do our best to protect this mortal realm.”
The City Lord of the Hundred Battles City nodded. “Immortal King Lin, your strength has already been vividly displayed in the Death Realm. Just now, you killed three Immortal Emperors. I am convinced of your strength in the mortal realm. Moreover, I can help you convince the other three Immortal Emperors from the Death Realm.”
Lin Jiufeng said happily, “That’s indeed great. I don’t know when the Seven Races of the Ancient Age will invade again, so uniting all our forces in a short period of time to protect this mortal realm is what we have to do. You are very familiar with the other three City Lords, so you shall be tasked with persuading them.”
The City Lord of the Hundred Battles City said, “I have the confidence to convince the other three City Lords. Although everyone once fought for their own in the Death Realm, facing the situation of the mortal realm, I believe that they will put down their differences and work together.”
“Hahahaha. I knew that the City Lord of the Hundred Battles City would understand us. Although I have different opinions of you, I also love this land deeply.” A loud laughter came from the distance. Then, a figure cut through the curtain and descended here. It was the City Lord of the Beast King City, an Immortal Emperor powerhouse from the Death Realm.
Lin Jiufeng looked at him with a smile.
The City Lord of the Beast King City didn’t greet the City Lord of the Hundred Battles City. Instead, he came in front of Lin Jiufeng and said respectfully, “Great Emperor Jiufeng, your bearing is still as graceful as before. In the short period of time since we parted in the Death Realm, you have already done such a world-shaking thing. I’m sincerely impressed. The two attacks of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age were all blocked by you. Today, if you want to unite the strength of the entire mortal realm, there’s no need to look for the City Lord of the Hundred Battles City. Tell me, and I will directly unite the strength of the entire Death Realm and guarantee that they will listen to your orders.”
The City Lord of the Hundred Battles City scolded jokingly, “You think you are the only capable one? Can you unite the power of the entire Death Realm? Will the others listen to you? Do you have as much prestige as me?”
The City Lord of the Beast King City said proudly, “I’ve already talked to the City Lord of Giant City and Asura City in detail just now. When Immortal King Lin was fighting with the three Immortal Emperors of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, we had already decided to follow in his footsteps and protect this mortal realm. You are alone, but there are three Immortal Emperors on my side, so it’s wrong for Lin Jiufeng to look for you. He should look for us.”
“You guys actually joined forces and didn’t bring me along?” The City Lord of the Hundred Battles City asked in disbelief.
“We were just about to inform you, then we discovered that Lin Jiufeng had already found you, so we didn’t tell you about this matter and directly came to look for you.” A huge figure more than ten meters tall tore through the air and descended here. Its aura was peerless and its bloodline was dense. It was the City Lord of Giant City.
Following that, an aura of purgatory pounced over and transformed into a resplendent blade light. Finally, it condensed into a figure, the City Lord of Asura City!
The four city lords from the Death Realm all descended in front of Lin Jiufeng at this moment.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng.” The City Lords of Giant City and Asura City bowed and greeted Lin Jiufeng.
“h.e.l.lo. It’s been a while since we parted in the Death Realm. Now that you guys have been reborn from flesh and blood, your strength has also increased by quite a lot. This is good news for the mortal realm.” Lin Jiufeng nodded and said with a smile.
“After entering the mortal realm for such a long time, all we achieved was to be reborn from flesh and blood. But Immortal King Lin single-handedly turned the entire Seven Races of the Ancient Age upside down. Moreover, you schemed far and wide to ambush the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. An entire generation of the army of 70,000 died in the mortal realm, but we didn’t expend a single soldier. This credit simply makes us admire and wors.h.i.+p you!” The City Lord of Asura City said with heartfelt admiration.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng’s strength is more than just a little bit stronger than when we were in the Death Realm. Now that the mortal realm has encountered a great catastrophe, we are willing to fight to the death with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age under the leaders.h.i.+p of Great Emperor Jiufeng.” The Giant City Lord’s voice rumbled like thunder as he said with a firm att.i.tude.
“Alright. Since you guys agree, I will bring you guys to start a life and death war with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. Gather all the Immortal Kings in the mortal realm and work hard to nurture the geniuses of the mortal realm in the future. Gather all the cultivation techniques in the mortal realm. Even if we are defeated and die in the future, we must let the stories of the current era and the cultivation techniques of this era be pa.s.sed down,” Lin Jiufeng said solemnly.
He didn’t have a 100% chance of winning this battle.
If he was defeated, the outcome would definitely be very tragic. Lin Jiufeng had to make plans early and leave some backup plans.
Countless great cultivation techniques and wonderful mystic arts were born in this era. Accompanied by defeat, these things in the mortal realm would be taken away by the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, leaving a blank world for the new generation of races to reproduce.
Lin Jiufeng had to consider this situation. If they really reached the most dangerous moment, if the mortal realm was defeated, he had to let the newly born races have a chance to obtain the essence of this era.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, don’t worry. Since we have already decided to fight to the death with the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, cultivation techniques and such are just worldly possessions. We will spread them and work hard to nurture the new generation of talents.” The Giant City Lord agreed immediately.
The other three Immortal Emperor City Lords also had no objections.
“Then let’s begin. From now on, the mortal realm will enter the first-level state of alert. Everyone, please work hard to improve yourselves. This battle might end very quickly, or it might continue for countless years. Please work hard to improve yourself and live on in this battle.” Lin Jiufeng said very sincerely. He couldn’t guarantee that he could save everyone’s lives. This was because the Seven Races of the Ancient Age were really like a huge mountain that stood before them. Just the parts that had already been revealed now made Lin Jiufeng’s heart turn cold. If it weren’t for the powerhouses left behind from the previous eras hiding in the Wasteland and attracting the King Lord powerhouses of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, the mortal realm would have already completely fallen.
But even so, there were still many true powerhouses in the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. The group of people who were sleeping 20,000 years ago had yet to wake up. Lin Jiufeng had to think carefully. He had to think of various plans and think clearly before he could decide what to do next.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, in the current mortal realm, there are more than a thousand that can really be considered to be Immortal King powerhouses. But there are only a few powerhouses at the Immortal Emperor Realm. Such combat strength is clearly unlikely to go against the Seven Races of the Ancient Age. Within the Immortal Emperor Realm, you are the only one with a crus.h.i.+ng combat power. This is our biggest problem now,” the City Lord of the Beast King City said seriously.
Although the city lords of the four cities were all at the Immortal Emperor Realm, they had only just entered the Immortal Emperor Realm.
“The Immortal Emperor Realm is divided into ten eras. We have just entered this realm and can barely be considered first-era powerhouses.” The City Lord of Asura sighed.
“What do you mean by era?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“Everything that was created from the birth of an era until the destruction of an era can be called an era. An era is a very terrifying thing. An Immortal Emperor that has acc.u.mulated strength for a true era will become very powerful. Although we are working hard to acc.u.mulate our strength now, we are still a little distance away from a true era,” the City Lord of the Hundred Battles City said.
“An era,” Lin Jiufeng said softly. His eyes were deep as he looked into the distance.
The Immortal King Realm was divided into ten heavens, and the Immortal Emperor Realm had ten eras.
“Everything should be taken slowly. The death of three Immortal Emperors from the Seven Races of the Ancient Age this time will definitely sound the alarm for them. I reckon that they won’t enter the mortal realm again in the short term. Instead, they will come and eliminate us after investigating thoroughly.” Lin Jiufeng pondered and said, “Therefore, this is our opportunity. We must seize it. Everyone, please help with all you have. Be it for the Immortal Kings or the geniuses of the mortal realm, we must work hard to nurture them.”
“Great Emperor Jiufeng, we will definitely do as you say, but the true existence of the mortal realm is still dependent on you. If you are powerful, the mortal realm will become stable. Once something happens to you, we will only be existences that can be destroyed with a flick of our fingers.” The City Lord of Giant City knew himself very well. He knew that although he was an Immortal Emperor, he couldn’t play a decisive role in this war. He could only be considered to be a support.
“I know that there are only the four of you in the mortal realm now. Ignoring those existences that are hidden very deeply, I can only trust you lot. Since all of you are here now and I have also instructed you on what to do, you lot shall make the arrangements next. I will work hard to improve myself in this period of time. When the Seven Races of the Ancient Age attack the mortal realm again, I will stop them,” Lin Jiufeng promised.
“We are looking forward to Great Emperor Jiufeng truly entering the Immortal Emperor Realm!” The City Lord of Asura City said expectantly.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t speak. He just turned around and left calmly. After this battle, everyone knew that he was the hope of the mortal realm. Everyone’s eyes were on him. This was unlike before where he was only protecting the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty. Moreover, he was in the dark most of the time. Although many people knew of his existence, no one would look forward to his protection like now.
The current Lin Jiufeng protected the entire mortal realm.
This pressure was huge for Lin Jiufeng.
But he still bore it without saying a word.
After reminding the four city lords, Lin Jiufeng left. Looking at the vast land, the setting sun, and the sky that was dyed red, Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and walked towards the new imperial capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty.
Back then, because the Celestial Race of Seven Races of the Ancient Age opened a pa.s.sageway that connected to the original imperial capital and triggered a huge battle, the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty moved all the common people and officials in the imperial capital and chose a new address to build the city walls, rebuild the imperial capital, and continue to rule the mortal realm.
But Lin Jiufeng had never seen this new imperial capital. Back then, he had already died in the old imperial capital. Then, he entered the Death Realm, then the Spell Realm, and then returned to the mortal realm. He had been traveling through trials and tribulations, but he had never seen the new imperial capital yet.
‘I wonder if Bai Mao’er is still in this new imperial capital?’ Lin Jiufeng thought silently.
After returning to the mortal realm, his flesh and blood were reborn. After he was reborn, he immediately fought against the three Immortal Emperors. Only after it ended did Lin Jiufeng have the time to look for Bai Mao’er.
Back then, the one who accompanied him at the last moment of life and death was still Bai Mao’er.
His married wife.
Now that he had returned, he naturally had to find his wife. To Lin Jiufeng, protecting the mortal realm was important, but so was Bai Mao’er.
The sky gradually darkened. After the sunset faded, the day pa.s.sed and night arrived.
The night sky was a little resplendent today. The stars filled the sky, like the galaxy hanging in the sky.
Bright light scattered on the vast land.
At night, the new imperial capital in the distance was like a terrifying ancient behemoth crawling on the ground, motionless.
The new imperial capital was at least three times larger than the old imperial capital.
The new imperial capital could accommodate more common people, more schools, more martial temples, more geniuses, and more powerhouses.
The imperial capital was brightly lit at night. The curfew for the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty was around 1 am, so the first half of the night was very lively.
Lin Jiufeng silently entered the imperial capital. Wherever he pa.s.sed, the words he heard were all about the battle between him and the three Immortal Emperors in the day.
The common people discussed fervently and expressed their opinions. It was very lively.
Of course, news of the once incomparably mysterious enemy of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age was also slowly spreading. The ordinary people also knew that there was actually such a powerful enemy in the mortal realm.
Lin Jiufeng only listened for a few minutes before he shook his head and distanced himself from the general public. What they heard, what they saw, and what they said were all old talk. The ordinary people still knew too little.
Lin Jiufeng walked to a remote corner of the imperial capital. In this corner was a unique courtyard. It was very inconspicuous, but there was someone in the courtyard that Lin Jiufeng was extremely familiar with.
Princess Yulin, Bai Tiandi.
And their children.
When Lin Jiufeng saw their children, he was a little surprised. Back then, when Princess Yulin married Bai Tiandi, Lin Jiufeng even gave them his treasured sword case. He didn’t expect that they would have a pair of children by now.
Lin Jiufeng never felt that time pa.s.sed very quickly because time couldn’t show anything on him. But at this moment, Princess Yulin, who was supposed to be married away when she was young, was only 16 years old when he saved her.
But now, time had slowly pa.s.sed. The little girl from back then was also married and had a pair of children.
Lin Jiufeng stood at the door. Under the flickering lights, his figure was a little lengthened, as if he was ethereal.
Laughter sounded in the courtyard.
Bai Tiandi and Princess Yulin each carried a child and talked about the battle between Lin Jiufeng and the three Immortal Emperors in the day. They were very peaceful and harmonious.
Lin Jiufeng took a few looks and turned to leave.
The current Princess Yulin and Bai Tiandi were living very well, so he didn’t disturb them.
Lin Jiufeng then went to the new palace and saw the slightly plump Emperor De.
The former Emperor De also knew and met Lin Jiufeng when he was in his teens. Back then, in order to inherit his father’s throne, he gave up on his goal of cultivation. Now, looking at his cultivation base, it had also been raised to the Immortal Realm, but his aura was slightly weak. It was obvious that he didn’t improve after diligent cultivation. Instead, he used rare treasures to forcefully increase his cultivation base and extend his life.
But this was a very good choice for him.
Over the years, Emperor De had always insisted on implementing the governing approach of his father and grandfather. He never slacked off. The Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty also received the support of countless races.
As before, Emperor De only had one wife, the Empress. Other emperors had 3,000 beauties in their harem, but not him.
This was also why he was praised by countless people.
At night, Emperor De was dealing with state affairs. He had been governing the country for decades, working diligently.
Lin Jiufeng stood outside the window. Through the light, he looked at Emperor De’s busy figure. He was very satisfied.
The only people in the entire palace who were related to Lin Jiufeng were Emperor De and his mother.
Seeing Emperor De’s serious manner, Lin Jiufeng was relieved.
He didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave.
Emperor De, who was dealing with state affairs, sensed something. He raised his head and looked out the window. It was empty. He shook his head in puzzlement and continued to deal with his state affairs.
With the invasion of the Seven Races of the Ancient Age, the mortal realm also underwent a world-shaking change. As the largest G.o.d Dynasty in the mortal realm, he had to handle these matters well and settle the common people. Emperor De would be busy day and night during this period of time.
Hence, when he raised his head in confusion just now and didn’t see anything, he thought that he had been dealing with government affairs for a long time and was just a little dizzy.
After strolling around the palace, Lin Jiufeng saw some former acquaintances. They were all Emperor De’s capable subordinates.
But Lin Jiufeng didn’t find any traces of Bai Mao’er.
To Lin Jiufeng, the main reason why he came to the imperial capital of the Yuhua G.o.d Dynasty was to find the traces of Bai Mao’er.
Just now, he saw Princess Yulin and Emperor De. They were all living well and were busy with their own matters. This was enough for Lin Jiufeng.
Now, Lin Jiufeng wanted to find Bai Mao’er.
Other than the palace, Lin Jiufeng toured around the new imperial capital, but he didn’t find any traces of Bai Mao’er.
“It seems that she isn’t here. Then, where could she be?” Lin Jiufeng was very puzzled.
Bai Mao’er should still be in this mortal realm, but when Lin Jiufeng returned to the mortal realm, his divine soul had scanned the world. With his current strength at the ninth heaven of the Immortal King Realm, the area he covered was tens of thousands of miles, but he didn’t find any traces of Bai Mao’er.
Now that there was no trace of Bai Mao’er in the new imperial capital, Lin Jiufeng was quite puzzled. Where could she go?
“I can’t find her in the imperial capital. Where should I go to find her then?” Lin Jiufeng asked himself.
Other than the imperial capital, Lin Jiufeng looked at the vast land. He looked around, but he couldn’t find a direction.
Where exactly was Bai Mao’er?
Lin Jiufeng was quite certain that Bai Mao’er wouldn’t look for Emperor De and Princess Yulin. Because other than Lin Jiufeng himself, she mostly ignored the others and was very cold and proud.
Hence, after leaving the old imperial capital, Lin Jiufeng was quite vexed about where she would go.
Thinking back carefully, Lin Jiufeng suddenly realized that other than the Cold Palace in the old imperial capital, the place where he and Bai Mao’er lived most of the time was in the Mountain Sea Realm in the Northwest Territory.
They lived there for many years.
With this in mind, Lin Jiufeng immediately changed directions and headed straight for the Northwest Territory.
In the depths of the Northwest Territory, there was a Mountain Sea Realm. Lin Jiufeng once thought that this Mountain Sea Realm was just an ordinary small world that had integrated into this boundless world.
But the last time, in the Spell Realm, when Lin Jiufeng controlled De Lin II to communicate with King De Lin, he learned that the world that was now called the Wasteland was originally called the Mountain Sea Realm.
In the depths of the Northwest Territory, there was also a Mountain Sea Realm.
Could these two be a coincidence?
Lin Jiufeng didn’t know, but regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, he had to go to the Mountain Sea Realm to take a look.
Bai Mao’er might be there.
To Lin Jiufeng, the goal of protecting the mortal realm and Bai Mao’er was the same.
But the prerequisite for protecting Bai Mao’er was to find her.
With Lin Jiufeng’s current pace, rus.h.i.+ng to the Mountain Sea Realm in the Northwest Territory would only take a short while. In the dead of the night, he arrived in the Northwest Territory.
The land here was vast and filled with yellow sand. At night, the cold winds were quiet and blew on the ground. The whistling wind was like the wails of malicious spirits, very terrifying.
But for Lin Jiufeng, walking in this once familiar land was of no pressure at all.
Back then, when the spiritual energy had just started to recover and the Mountain Sea Realm wanted to integrate into the mortal realm, Lin Jiufeng rushed here to suppress it. He even imprisoned them in the city, preventing them from entering the mortal realm. But now, that city was completely abandoned.
Yes, Lin Jiufeng had arrived in front of this city.
The once prosperous city area had now become desolate. The yellow sand had already drowned half of the city gate. After years of disrepair and no one to manage it, this city would slowly be completely covered by the sandstorms as time pa.s.sed. The lake not far from the city gate had already dried up.
The door that floated above the lake that led to the Mountain Sea Realm had already disappeared. With Lin Jiufeng’s current cultivation base, he could clearly tell that the former Mountain Sea Realm had completely integrated into the mortal realm.
“Is this Mountain Sea Realm related to the Wasteland?” Lin Jiufeng looked at all of this and asked himself softly.
His divine soul scanned the world and spread out endlessly.
He didn’t find Bai Mao’er.
This was a blow to Lin Jiufeng. There were no traces of Bai Mao’er in the Mountain Sea Realm, so where would she go?
Lin Jiufeng sat in the place where he once fished and thought hard. Where exactly would Bai Mao’er go?
But after thinking for a long time, he still had no clue.
Under the arrival of night, it was already dawn.
“Do you want to Sign-In at the Mountain Sea Realm?”
These words appeared before Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.
Lin Jiufeng knew that a new day had arrived. He could sign in again.
This time, the signing-in was at the Mountain Sea Realm.
This made Lin Jiufeng’s heart move. The Mountain Sea Realm had taken the initiative to integrate into the mortal realm. The door to the Mountain Sea Realm had already disappeared. Was there still a need for the Mountain Sea Realm to be called the Mountain Sea Realm?
Since it was called the Mountain Sea Realm, that meant that even if the previous Mountain Sea Realm had integrated into the mortal realm, it was still independent and had yet to be a.s.similated by the mortal realm.
“Sign in!”
Lin Jiufeng agreed.
“Sign-In successful. Received traces of Bai Mao’er!”
These words made Lin Jiufeng’s eyes widen. He quickly stood up.
“I really searched high and low for it, only to find it here!” Lin Jiufeng couldn’t help but sigh.
He searched for the little white cat for a day and went to many places, but he couldn’t find her. He didn’t expect to find traces of the little white cat by signing in before the Mountain Sea Realm.
This made him a little impatient to check on the information.
