  The storyteller spoke a lot, and the amount of wine he drank increased the more words he said.

  In the end, he told Lin Jiufeng everything he knew. It didn’t matter whether it was true or false.

  Both the white cat and Lin Jiufeng quietly listened

  They watched as the storyteller collapsed on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

  With a flick of his finger, a stream of True Qi entered the storyteller’s body and it circulated around his body. The stream of True Qi soothed the storyteller’s exhaustion from drinking and the hidden injuries in his body.

  It was Lin Jiufeng’s reward to him.

  “Let’s go…”

  “I know a lot about this world now and its current state. It seems that going here to drink has been a worthwhile endeavor to me.”

  Lin Jiufeng picked up his wine cup and drank it in one gulp and said with a smile.

  The storyteller’s knowledge was definitely inaccurate in some parts because he had only learned them from rumors.

  It was impossible for everything that was passed down by word of mouth to be true.

  But Lin Jiufeng still managed to roughly understand the current situation of the world after the cup of wine. Next, he had to find the answers by himself and take a good look at this world along the way.

  As for the matter of Princess Yulin being held captive, he had to resolve it no matter what.

  The son of the Millennium Sword God from the previous era should be visiting the capital soon, right?

  Lin Jiufeng suddenly felt that this world was full of exciting endeavors and people.

  Especially Emperor De…

  Lin Jiufeng was truly impressed by him.

  “Meow, where are you going?” The white cat jumped into Lin Jiufeng’s arms and asked.

  “Let’s go to the Forbidden City and take a look at my descendant,” Lin Jiufeng replied.

  Lin Jiufeng called for a waiter to settle the bill for the food and wine.

  Then, he left with the white cat.

  The two girls from the Martial Temple looked at the white cat longingly.

  They were extremely envious of Lin Jiufeng.

  They were envious that he actually had such an indescribably beautiful cat.

  In fact, they even wanted to chase after him, but it was a pity that Lin Jiufeng’s movement technique was simply too formidable. They only saw Lin Jiufeng leave the restaurant and enter the crowd. Afterwards, they couldn’t find him anymore.

  Sigh!

  The two girls sighed ruefully.

  They looked at the delicious dishes on the table and suddenly felt that they weren’t that delicious anymore.

  …

  Forbidden City.

  The Yuhua God Dynasty was established hundreds of years ago.

  The founding Emperor wanted to build a huge palace.

  Subsequently, phoebe zhennans with diameters of nearly two meters were transported from Sichuan. Along with it were the gold bricks from Suzhou, the clay tiles from Linqing, the white marbles from Fangshan, and the granite from Quyang…

  He gathered the essence of the four directions and the work of tens of thousands of craftsmen.

  In the end, the world’s largest palace complex was created.

  The Forbidden City!

  To this day, the Forbidden City still remained in existence after hundreds of years.

  In this world where spiritual energy was abundant and powerhouses constantly appeared, the Forbidden City remained standing tall and towering.

  The previous emperors of the Yuhua God Dynasty lived in the Forbidden City. They measured the ground beneath their feet, observed the stars above their heads, and carefully counted the time before their eyes.

  Only an emperor who ensured the stability and prosperity of the people of the world deserved to own this city.

  Without a doubt, the recent three generations of emperors had achieved this.

  Emperor Yuan was a disruptor of order. He firmly pushed forward reforms amidst a declining dynasty, severing the shackles of the old era and opening the doors into the new era.

  Coincidentally, the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy happened at the same time as Emperor Yuan’s reforms were being pushed forwards.

  When it came to Emperor Ming, he was the successor to the reforms.

  He was the successor to Emperor Yuan’s will.

  He became the bridge between Emperor Yuan’s work and Emperor De’s.

  He inherited Emperor Yuan’s career and laid a solid foundation for Emperor De.

  When it was Emperor De’s turn, there was no longer a need for large reforms in the Yuhua God Dynasty. What he needed to do was to face a complicated and dangerous, vast world in the middle of its spiritual energy recovery.

  Countless powerhouses were bound to appear and countless terrifying existences were bound to awaken. The most powerful among them could even destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty with a flick of their fingers.

  Under such great pressure, Emperor De remained firm in his decision to implement laws and establish decorum that was beneficial to the people and the Yuhua God Dynasty.

  This was an ancient palace that was used to seeing the most beautiful and ugly people in the world. It witnessed how Emperor De changed from a high-spirited youth to a middle-aged uncle.

  Lin Jiufeng walked into the Forbidden City through the main gate.

  No one discovered his presence.

  The guards who brushed past him turned a blind eye to him.

  This wasn’t the guards’ fault.

  If Lin Jiufeng didn’t want anyone to see him, then no one would be able to.

  Just like the current Emperor De.

  He was reviewing the memorials in the Great Council Hall. The pile of memorials that had become as tall as a person was continuously being revised by him. Fifteen minutes later, another batch of memorials replaced the previous stack.

  The young eunuchs were busy traveling back and forth.

  There were no small matters for the matters of a dynasty.

  Emperor De inherited the drive of Emperor Ming and Emperor Yuan.

  He was very serious about revising the memorials.

  Lin Jiufeng didn’t go in.

  He stood outside the Great Council Hall, enjoying the sight of Emperor De reviewing the memorials.

  Lin Jiufeng was very satisfied with his current appearance.

  He was carrying the responsibility that belonged to him. Being in a position that everyone envied, it was akin to walking on thin ice because he carried the expectations of the entire Yuhua God Dynasty.

  A few minutes later, Lin Jiufeng turned around and left.

  “Aren’t you going to meet him?” The white cat asked curiously.

  She thought that Lin Jiufeng came to the Forbidden City to meet with Emperor De and give him pointers…

  But Lin Jiufeng only looked at him for a few minutes before he turned around and left.

  “He’s already adapted to the days without my help, why should I appear again?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

  Under Emperor De’s leadership, the Yuhua God Dynasty managed to maintain itself well in this chaotic world.

  He did a good job. Lin Jiufeng couldn’t find any fault with him.

  Since that was the case—he would let Emperor De continue what he was doing—according to his own ways. Lin Jiufeng planned to just stay in the dark and continue his daily routine in peace. Wouldn’t it be enough if he just helped out along the way?

  Why was there a need for them to meet?

  The white cat meowed. Since Lin Jiufeng didn’t want to meet him, then so be it.

  Lin Jiufeng left the Great Council Hall and went to the Empress Dowager’s palace.

  In the huge Forbidden City, Lin Jiufeng only knew three people.

  Empress De, Princess Yulin, and the Empress Dowager.

  Among them, the Empress Dowager was the first to know him, but she had the least interaction with him among the three.

  Before Emperor Ming died, he treated Lin Jiufeng as his trump card and placed this trump card in the hands of the Empress Dowager, telling her to look for Lin Jiufeng for help if she needed anything.

  Lin Jiufeng agreed to Emperor Ming’s request.

  After being in seclusion for so long, the Empress Dowager must have looked for him during this period of time.

  He felt sorry to Emperor Ming for not helping her out.

  Hence, Lin Jiufeng decided to go and see if this Empress Dowager needed his help.

  Upon entering the Empress Dowager’s palace, Lin Jiufeng found that she was already asleep.

  30 years ago, she was still in her prime.

  30 years later, she also aged a little.

  Although she was skilled in preserving her looks and had a lot of resources to help her do so…

  But her cultivation base wasn’t that strong.

  She was already in her sixties and she still looked to be in her thirties or forties.

  But the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were obvious.

  Lin Jiufeng didn’t enter her room.

  He stood outside the Empress Dowager’s palace and watched her sleep quietly.

  “Her body is healthy, that’s all that matters.”

  Lin Jiufeng gave her a simple check-up before turning around to leave.

  [Sign-In in the Empress Dowager’s palace?]

  But when he turned around, a line of words appeared before his eyes.

  [Sign in!] Lin Jiufeng finally remembered that he had never been here before.

  Empress Dowager’s palace.

  Back then, Lin Jiufeng had only visited the Empress’ Palace, not the Empress Dowager’s.

  [Sign-In successful. Received War God Catalog!]

  A peerless cultivation technique entered Lin Jiufeng’s mind.

  He instantly understood how it worked.

  “This cultivation technique isn’t bad. It’s suitable to be my trump card.” Lin Jiufeng was satisfied.

  After comprehending the War God Catalog, he didn’t stop moving.

  He directly left the Empress Dowager’s palace.

  “Yulin…” The sleeping Empress Dowager suddenly shouted.

  She woke up and looked around frantically.

  But looking at the empty palace, the Empress Dowager sighed forlornly.

  Lin Jiufeng turned his head and saw this scene.
