  Princess Yulin brought along the war machine to suppress the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. She directly suppressed them to the point of depression.

  To donate all of their cultivation techniques and manuals to the martial temples, how humiliating was that?

  But they had no choice.

  They could only accept it without resisting.

  Those from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect felt their hearts bleed.

  Their proudest war machine has forced them to do something that would betray their ancestors.

  ‘Where exactly did the Yuhua God Dynasty dig out the war machine?’

  ‘In the first place, how did they manage to operate it?’

  Sect Leader Luo Yu couldn’t figure out the answer to these questions no matter how hard he thought.

  …

  In the Forbidden City, Princess Yulin returned with the war machine.

  She handed the war machine over to Emperor De.

  But Emperor De said, “Take it. With the war machine, you will be the new guardian deity of the Yuhua God Dynasty.”

  Princess Yulin shook her head and refused.

  “I want to make a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm on my own. The war machine is a burden to me.”

  Relying on external forces would only slow down her progress.

  When Emperor De heard this, he didn’t force the matter anymore.

  He let the war machine stand quietly in the shadows.

  “Why can’t we directly destroy the Zenith Heaven Path Sect?” Princess Yulin looked at Emperor De with a puzzled look.

  The Zenith Heaven Path Sect was obviously up to no good.

  Why should they not eliminate them directly?

  With the war machine, it would be easy to destroy the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.

  This way, they do not have to be on guard against the Zenith Heaven Path Sect anymore.

  Emperor De smiled and replied, “Sister, the matters of the world aren’t just about fighting and killing, but also about the ways of the world. A dead Zenith Heaven Path Sect is definitely advantageous to us, but they are not as useful anymore if they are gone.”

  Princess Yulin looked at Emperor De. She was still confused.

  She was obsessed with cultivation and had no idea about these complicated matters.

  “The Zenith Heaven Path Sect is like a double-edged sword. It can hurt the user and can also hurt others, but as long as the user wears armor, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect can only hurt others.”

  “Manipulate the Zenith Heaven Path Sect into becoming a sharp sword of the Yuhua God Dynasty, isn’t that better than just outright killing them?” asked Emperor De.

  “But how are you going to control them?” Princess Yulin asked.

  “With the war machine!” Emperor De pointed with his finger and said confidently.

  He knew that the war machine was the target that the Zenith Heaven Path Sect had been looking for all this. Using the war machine to control and mobilize the Zenith Heaven Path Sect was a plan that was likely to succeed.

  “As expected, I’m not suitable for these schemes.” Princess Yulin ridiculed herself.

  Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin enviously and said from the bottom of his heart said, “Do you also think that I like to scheme? When I was young, I loved cultivating more than you. I didn’t want to be the Emperor!”

  “My dream was to travel to the ends of the world with my sword and climb the great mountains of cultivation!”

  Princess Yulin looked at her brother. She instantly knew that he was speaking from his heart.

  Before Princess Yulin started cultivating—Emperor De was the youngest Martial Sage in the dynasty—if not, the entire world.

  He had a promising future!

  But after all these years, he became obsessed with power.

  He plotted against the world and plotted for the people to govern the dynasty.

  However, the youngest Martial Sage ten years ago was only at the Human God Realm.

  “Sister, carry with you my dreams and overcome every obstacle on your path in the world of cultivation. Your Brother Emperor will handle these dirty matters on his own.”

  Emperor De held Princess Yulin’s hand and said gently.

  “Before Big Grand-Uncle went into seclusion, I vowed that I would prove to him that I am not inferior to both Father Emperor and Grandpa Emperor. Since the Yuhua God Dynasty has been passed down to me, it will definitely reach its golden age…”

  “When Big Grand-Uncle comes out of seclusion, this dynasty will still be the Yuhua God Dynasty that he once knew.” Emperor De announced in a clear and loud voice.

  To fulfill his promise, he racked his brains and worked hard.

  Princess Yulin didn’t say anything.

  But she held Emperor De’s hand tightly.

  …

  Time flew.

  In a blink of an eye, it has already been 20 years since Lin Jiufeng secluded himself in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

  He gained a lot in the 20 years that passed.

  The cultivation techniques that Lin Jiufeng received from signing in every day were transformed by him into energy that he integrated into his own comprehension of the Dao.

  Every cultivation technique in his possession became talismans that entered his domain, dantian, and True Qi.

  Lin Jiufeng only had to raise his hand and the amalgamation of tens of thousands of cultivation techniques would erupt with his will. A single strand of his True Qi now contained these terrifying cultivation techniques.

  Over the years, Lin Jiufeng toured through the entire Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

  Lin Jiufeng had also signed in at the tombs of the various powerhouses that had died here long ago. The top peerless techniques of the previous era were now living inside Lin Jiufeng’s body.

  Right now, even Lin Jiufeng himself had no idea how powerful he was.

  Lin Jiufeng only knew that after more than 20 years of seclusion, he finally started to understand the meaning of the word ‘invincible’.

  Invincible = Lin Jiufeng!

  On a large rock in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, Lin Jiufeng opened his eyes.

  Countless cultivation techniques flitted past his eyes as they opened.

  In a blink of an eye, he wrapped up his cultivation of the tens of thousands of cultivation techniques that he had gathered so far.

  ‘It seems that it’s been 80 years since I came to this world!’ Lin Jiufeng lamented.

  80 years ago, he transmigrated into this world.

  His cultivation was crippled back then and he was banished to the Cold Palace.

  The scene of him signing in for the first time in front of the Cold Palace and receiving the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill as a reward was still vivid in his mind.

  It felt as if it happened yesterday.

  But in reality, 80 years have passed since then.

  This body of his was already more than 100 years old.

  In these 80 years, Lin Jiufeng could be said to have endured solitude and became akin to that of a carp that leaped over a dragon’s gate.

  Especially in the previous 20 plus years…

  He cultivated in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy where even sunlight couldn’t reach.

  If it wasn’t for the white cat accompanying him, Lin Jiufeng would definitely be very lonely.

  Fortunately, the white cat was with him.

  Hence, Lin Jiufeng gave the white cat all the pills and treasures that he received from signing in.

  The white cat’s cultivation was now at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

  She was just one step away from the Supremacy Realm.

  After entering the Grotto-Heaven Realm, Lin Jiufeng helped it refine the Divine Grade grotto-heaven into her very own grotto-heaven.

  The white cat’s potential and talent greatly improved because of this.

  The current white cat could now easily kill an expert of the same level with a swipe of its paw.

  She followed Lin Jiufeng and learned many of his cultivation techniques too.

  Meow!

  With a soft meow, the white cat jumped into Lin Jiufeng’s arms.

  She laid comfortably and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

  “More than 20 years have passed since we came here and secluded ourselves. I couldn’t help but wonder how the outside world is now.”

  Lin Jiufeng answered honestly.

  “Do you want to go out?” The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise.

  She thought that Lin Jiufeng would continue to stay here.

  In any case, she really liked this place.

  Although the place was dark and the atmosphere was conducive to sadness, she was alone with Lin Jiufeng in this place.

  It was a world where no one bothered them and the white cat was very satisfied with it.

  She could enjoy Lin Jiufeng’s love on her own.

  “Is the Yuhua God Dynasty still okay after all these years?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

  Although he gave them the war machine, the war machine wasn’t omnipotent.

  A single war machine couldn’t possibly suppress the world for so long.

  Furthermore, the Yuhua God Dynasty didn’t have many powerhouses to help them.

  Lin Jiufeng reckoned that it would probably be difficult for the Yuhua God Dynasty to defend their territories against their enemies. Therefore, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t be surprised if he really went out and saw the Yuhua God Dynasty in ruins, saw the birth of a new dynasty, or saw the world in chaos.

  Lin Jiufeng was already prepared for the worst.

  As for what Emperor De said about protecting the Yuhua God Dynasty…

  To be honest, Lin Jiufeng couldn’t believe him at all.

  Because in the current world, Emperor De didn’t have the final say.

  There were too many powerhouses around, he wouldn’t be able to defy their will on his own.
