  The so-called invincible Lord Nine’s head separated from his body and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

  Not only was his human head separated, but even his divine soul was severed by Lin Jiufeng.

  Lin Jiufeng, who was at the False Immortal Realm, had easily killed Lord Nine, who was at the Void Returning Realm.

  But Emperor De and the others looked at each other in shock.

  “He’s dead?” Emperor De looked at this in surprise.

  The Empress whispered, “How did he suddenly die? He even said just now that he was the King of the Human Realm.”

  “Who attacked just now?” Emperor De looked around, dumbfounded.

  He was shocked and surprised at the same time.

  He was happy that Lord Nine was dead.

  But he was shocked because he didn’t know who killed him.

  Was this person who killed Lord Nine a threat to the Yuhua God Dynasty?

  Lord Nine had already beaten the Yuhua God Dynasty until they had no resistance at all.

  If the person who killed Lord Nine was hostile, then the Yuhua God Dynasty would not be able to resist the other party at all.

  Princess Yulin got up. Her face was pale and her breathing was weak.

  She looked at the dead Lord Nine with a dazed expression.

  “We were all defeated and didn’t have any strength to resist at all. So who killed him?”

  Princess Yulin looked around curiously, just like Emperor De.

  The King of Rogue Cultivators shook his head, not knowing what had happened.

  The war machine was silent as he stood up from the ruined palace.

  Monk Fusan chanted Amitabha and said, “The person who killed this Lord Nine isn’t among us. Lord Nine is at the Void Returning Realm, a person who can kill him is at least at the peak of the Void Returning Realm…”

  “He might even be at the realm beyond the Void Returning Realm,” Monk Fusan said solemnly.

  “Beyond Void Returning Realm? Doesn’t that mean—”

  The son of the Sword God muttered in surprise.

  “Yes, the False Immortal Realm!” Monk Fusan solemnly affirmed.

  “To be able to kill such a powerful Lord Nine in an instant and Lord Nine didn’t even have a chance to react, that was his absolute suppression against him. It’s only reasonable for us to say that the other party is a False Immortal!” Monk Fusan nodded.

  “How can that be possible? Are there still False Immortals in this world?”

  The King of Rogue Cultivators asked in shock.

  The appearance of a Void Returning powerhouse was already unexpected enough.

  But False Immortal?

  That term had the word [Immortal] in it.

  Not just anyone could reach such a level.

  The others couldn’t believe his words.

  The son of the Sword God frowned. “This world can already accommodate a False Immortal?”

  “If it isn’t a False Immortal, then tell me, who killed Lord Nine?” Monk Fusan asked.

  Everyone fell silent.

  “Could it be that there really are immortals in this world?”

  The King of Rogue Cultivators asked in shock.

  There were immortals in this world?

  Even though it was still too early for them to be born?

  Even Emperor De and Princess Yulin were shocked.

  “I even suspect that this False Immortal is in the imperial capital. That’s why he could act in such a timely manner. Otherwise, Emperor De and the Empress would have been controlled long ago by that Lord Nine long ago,” Monk Fusan said solemnly.

  “Bhante, are you saying that this False Immortal is in the imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty?” Emperor De asked in shock.

  He felt uneasy.

  Lord Nine, who was at the Void Returning Realm, already made the top powerhouses of the Yuhua God Dynasty tremble in fear. They attacked together and besieged Lord Nine, but they didn’t succeed. Instead, they were all severely injured from Lord Nine’s attacks.

  What if there was another enemy at the False Immortal Realm?

  Emperor De didn’t dare to imagine what would happen to the Yuhua God Dynasty.

  “Your Majesty, there’s no need to worry. The person behind the scenes only killed Lord Nine and didn’t continue to attack. This is enough to prove that the other party has no ill intentions towards the Yuhua God Dynasty.” Monk Fusan comforted Emperor De.

  Emperor De was still very nervous.

  The encounter tonight made him very nervous.

  But Princess Yulin fell into deep thought.

  Her embroidered brows were tightly furrowed as she looked at Lord Nine, who had his head separated from his body. She suddenly asked, “Bhante, is this Lord Nine the same as Bai Tiandi that I encountered a few months ago in the war at the border?”

  Monk Fusan was dazed. He didn’t expect Princess Yulin to ask this.

  He thought carefully and said, “They should be about the same. Bai Tiandi is younger. Although he has just entered the Void Returning Realm, his strength is really terrifying. Compared to Lord Nine, their strength should be on the same level.”

  “Princess, are you asking if Bai Tiandi killed Lord Nine?” Monk Fusan asked.

  The others looked at Princess Yulin.

  Everyone knew of Bai Tiandi’s existence.

  They also knew that Princess Yulin and Bai Tiandi had spent two days together.

  The corner of Princess Yulin’s mouth curled up as she said, “No, I won’t guess that it’s Bai Tiandi, because he won’t be able to kill Lord Nine so easily.”

  “Then?” Emperor De looked at Princess Yulin.

  “Bai Tiandi told me that he can’t go anywhere freely because he’s too powerful. He will disrupt the order of the current world. He and a large group of people are currently being suppressed deep in the Northwest Territory—” Princess Yulin explained.

  “Suppressed?” Emperor De muttered in shock.

  Bai Tiandi, who was as powerful as Lord Nine, was actually being suppressed?

  “By whom?” Emperor De asked anxiously.

  The others also wanted to know.

  Princess Yulin smiled happily and said, “It’s my Teacher Master!”

  Emperor De was instantly shocked.

  Then, he was overjoyed.

  The joy that surged in his heart was indescribable.

  “So it’s him!”

  “That makes sense, the only person in the world who can kill Lord Nine so easily must be none other than him!” Emperor De clapped and laughed.

  The apprehension in his heart disappeared without a trace, leaving only joy.

  Monk Fusan also thought of Lin Jiufeng and instantly gasped.

  A few years ago, when Lin Jiufeng was in the Jiangnan area, Lin Jiufeng was only slightly stronger than him.

  A few years later, Lin Jiufeng was able to silently kill someone at the Void Returning Realm?

  What in Buddha’s name was this cultivation speed?

  Princess Yulin looked in the direction of the Cold Palace and said in surprise, “He’s back!”

  “This must be his doing…”

  “He’s the pillar of our Yuhua God Dynasty.”

  “With him around, the Yuhua God Dynasty will continue to exist.”

  …

  Cold palace!

  Lin Jiufeng slashed out one strike and then ignored the confusion that followed afterwards.

  Such a simple strike was as easy for him to perform as breathing.

  He could already kill a False Immortal.

  How could he not kill a Void Returning expert with a single move?

  The only thing that surprised Lin Jiufeng was that this Lord Nine was actually from the Taichu God Dynasty.

  Lin Jiufeng naturally knew of the Taichu God Dynasty.

  In the many books that Miss Hong gave him back then, Lin Jiufeng learned that the Taichu God Dynasty was a major faction in the previous era.

  Taichu was different from Yuhua.

  Although they were both God Dynasties, Taichu only had little influence on the world. In the entire cultivation world back then, it wasn’t able to suppress everyone like the Yuhua God Dynasty of today.

  Take the Northwest Territory for example. At that time, there was the Northwest King who ruled over the region. Although he belonged to the Taichu God Dynasty in name, he was an overlord that never listened to the Taichu God Dynasty’s command.

  As for the various major factions, be it the demonic sects, the Daoist sects, the Buddhist sects, or the monster race, the Taichu God Dynasty never managed to control them at all.

  Unlike the current Yuhua God Dynasty, which had full control of its territory, and could defend against outside forces while suppressing its enemies inside…

  The Taichu God Dynasty was different.

  The common people lived and worked in peace in the Yuhua God Dynasty and everyone could become a cultivator thanks to the martial temples.

  But in the Taichu God Dynasty?

  All of these were mere pipe dreams.

  This was also why Lord Nine was so jealous of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s achievements.

  If the Taichu God Dynasty had such might back then, why would it need to seal the royal family and wait for a new era?

  Lin Jiufeng originally thought that the Taichu God Dynasty no longer existed, but the appearance of Lord Nine made him understand that the waters of this world were still very deep.

  He didn’t know how many dangers were hidden beneath the calm waters.

  The Yuhua God Dynasty was like a huge ship carrying the entire world as it advanced steadily.

  But under the sea, countless ferocious eyes were staring at it like it was a huge piece of meat.

  Those pair of eyes were, of course, looking for the opportune moment to strike.

  But it was fine…

  Lin Jiufeng was already a False Immortal.

  It was equivalent to him also evolving at the bottom of the sea and becoming the most powerful apex predator in the depths. It was still no problem for him to protect the Yuhua God Dynasty.

  “What did you do just now?” The white cat walked over and asked curiously.

  “Nothing, I just encountered a lunatic and killed him on the way,” Lin Jiufeng said.

  If Lord Nine knew that Lin Jiufeng evaluated him like this, he would definitely vomit blood from anger.

  Fortunately, he was already dead, so he couldn’t hear the latter nor vomit any blood.

  “Encountering a lunatic along the way?” The white cat was puzzled.

  “I just felt a powerful energy fluctuation coming from the imperial capital. It seems like a fight is going on.” The white cat looked at the imperial capital.

  “It’s okay. The imperial capital is safe now. Setting that aside, you have to work hard in your cultivation. I’m going to the Martial Temple for a while,” Lin Jiufeng said.

  “You’re going to the Martial Temple?” The white cat asked in surprise.

  “That’s right. I don’t know anything about the False Immortal Realm at all. I need to check the library of the Martial Temple.” Lin Jiufeng nodded.

  The Martial Temple was the place with the most books in the world.

  The place with the most books used to be the royal library, but it only recorded all sorts of information and information before the recovery of spiritual energy.

  Although the royal library added some books after the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy, Emperor De donated the royal library to the Martial Temple in the name of Lin Jiufeng.

  It was free for all the students in the world to use.

  After the royal library belonged to the Martial Temple, Emperor De started to threaten the various major sects in the world to disclose the secret manuals that they had stored. The first was the Zenith Heaven Path Sect—they were forced to hand all of their secret manuals over.

  Over the years, the books, secret manuals, and cultivation techniques collected by the Martial Temple were simply uncountable.

  Hence, the Martial Temple was the place with the most books in the world today.

  Lin Jiufeng wanted to know more about the False Immortal Realm, so he naturally had to go to the Martial Temple.

  “I want to go too,” the white cat said decisively.

  She didn’t want Lin Jiufeng to leave her at home.

  That would be too boring.

  “You want to go to the Martial Temple too?” Lin Jiufeng frowned. “Didn’t you say that you have to efficiently use your time and cultivate well so that you can take on your human form as soon as possible?”

  “I can stop cultivating for a day. It’s called work and rest balance.”

  The white cat gave a foolish smile and meowed adorably.

  Her voice was like her soft meat paw that pressed down on Lin Jiufeng’s heart.

  “I will bring you with me, you can slack off then.” Lin Jiufeng was speechless.

  The white cat chuckled and leaped into Lin Jiufeng’s arms.

  “Let’s go!” The white cat gave the order, her voice sounded soft and crisp.

  Lin Jiufeng’s figure instantly disappeared from the spot.

  He left the imperial capital and arrived at the Martial Temple’s Headquarters.

  Not long after his figure disappeared, Princess Yulin came to his door and shouted, “Yulin requests to see Big Grand-Uncle!”

  No one responded!

  “Your disciple requests to see Teacher-Master!” Princess Yulin continued to shout.

  There was still no response.

  Princess Yulin didn’t give up.

  She directly knelt down and said firmly, “Yulin requests to see Big Grand-Uncle!”

  There was still no response. Only the [Light of the Homes] swayed slightly.

  Because Princess Yulin and Emperor De were Lin Jiufeng’s descendants, the [Light of the Homes] didn’t chase them away, leaving Princess Yulin kneeling there.

  …

  The Martial Temple was quite a distance away from the imperial capital.

  The Martial Temple stood in front of a huge mountain.

  Originally, it didn’t plan to treat the mountain as its territory.

  But as the Martial Temple expanded, geniuses gathered in roves. Every year, many young geniuses would come here to try their luck. The Martial Temple’s original territory wasn’t enough, so it expanded its territory into the mountain behind it.

  The expansion of the Martial Temple also represented the prosperity of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

  This was because every genius who came to the martial temples had experienced layers of evaluation and tests. Some even started from the martial temples in the small villages and entered the martial temples in the counties before finally becoming a student of the martial temples in the prefectures.

  Finally, they became a student of the Martial Temple Headquarters.

  These layers of selection left behind outstanding seedlings.

  But still, the more geniuses existed in the martial temples, the more prosperous the Yuhua God Dynasty became.

  The future of a nation was in the hands of the young.

  It was because Emperor De saw this that he spared no effort in promoting and teaching these young geniuses for free.

  The martial temples nowadays held their entrance ceremonies twice.

  The Spring and Autumn seasons were the most prosperous times for the martial temples.

  Arriving at the Martial Temple, Lin Jiufeng immediately saw his statue standing tall at the entrance.

  It was only then that he remembered that he was still the nominal Mountain Leader of the Martial Temple.

  The title was given to him by Emperor De.

  He was already the Martial Temple’s nominal Mountain Leader when the Martial Temple was first established.

  Until now, it was still the same.

  The statue in front of the Martial Temple was set up by Emperor De.

  Lin Jiufeng’s name was clearly written under the statue.

  Mountain Leader: Lin Jiufeng!

  Until now, there were only deputy mountain leaders in the Martial Temple.

  There were more than one of them, and several of them were outstanding powerhouses with high cultivation bases.

  Of course, comparing them to Lin Jiufeng, who was the Mountain Leader was foolish.

  After all, who would dare to say that they were powerhouses before Lin Jiufeng?

  “There’s actually a statue of you here!”

  “You’re even the Mountain Leader!”

  “It seems that we’re in your own territory,” the white cat couldn’t help but happily tease

  Lin Jiufeng calmly nodded.

  He didn’t really mind being a Mountain Leader.

  After all, his job as the Mountain Leader was to encourage the youth.

  “Then it’s perfectly okay for us to just go inside the libraries here.” The white cat added.

  “Yeah, let’s go and take a look at this martial temple.” Lin Jiufeng smiled and entered.

  [Entering the world’s holy land of teaching, the Martial Temple. Do you wish to Sign in?]

  After entering the Martial Temple, a phrase appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

  80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled
