After killing Lord Eight, Lin Jiufeng turned around and left.

  If he wasn’t worried that the huge Forbidden City that had existed for hundreds of years would be destroyed, he wouldn’t have come here.

  Lord Eight was at the Void Returning Realm, but so was the war machine. The war machine could completely delay or even finish Lord Eight off.

  Even if Lord Eight held the pseudo-immortal artifact, the Tai Er Sword, it wouldn’t pose much of a threat to the war machine.

  Because the body of the war machine was unafraid of these things.

  Otherwise, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect wouldn’t be still thinking about taking back the war machine.

  The war machine was refined from the body of a real immortal, which was why he was so powerful.

  Even though the Zenith Heaven Path Sect had the technique to craft a war machine, they didn’t have the body of a true immortal as material.

  The turbulence here attracted the attention of the powerhouses in the imperial capital. Everyone saw the battle between the war machine and Lord Eight. The powerful might of the war machine made the eyes of the people from the Zenith Heaven Path Sect turn red.

  The war machine had belonged to the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.

  But now, the war machine had become a powerful weapon for the Yuhua God Dynasty to invade and conquer cities.

  He could even kill people at the Void Returning Realm. This Yuhua God Dynasty was becoming more and more terrifying.

  Countless powerhouses saw the battle between the war machine and Lord Eight, so they counted the death of Lord Eight on the war machine.

  Other than the top powerhouses of the Yuhua God Dynasty who knew that Lin Jiufeng was the one who killed Lord Eight, no one else saw Lin Jiufeng who was hidden in the dark.

  Hence, the reputation of the war machine rose once again.

  …

  When Lin Jiufeng returned to the Cold Palace, he encountered Princess Yulin and the little white cat.

  The girl and cat looked at Lin Jiufeng curiously.

  They heard the commotion, but they didn’t know the specific details.

  “It’s fine. It’s just an old antique that can’t adapt to the current situation. It’s already been resolved.” Lin Jiufeng waved his hand.

  “That’s good.” Princess Yulin heaved a sigh of relief and said in satisfaction.

  “With Big Grand-Uncle around, these people are just seeking death by coming to the imperial capital,” Princess Yulin praised.

  “It’s time for you to practice your swordsmanship.” Lin Jiufeng glanced at her.

  Princess Yulin immediately went to the side to practice her swordsmanship. She didn’t dare to relax and focused on comprehending the sword intent and the nomological powers of the Sword that Lin Jiufeng had imparted to her.

  “You should go cultivate too.” Lin Jiufeng then looked at the little white cat.

  The white cat meowed and turned around to go and cultivate. She wanted to transform as soon as possible.

  “Practice your sword well. I will give you a powerful sword in a few days,” Lin Jiufeng said to Princess Yulin.

  “Thank you, Big Grand-Uncle!” Princess Yulin said in surprise.

  Lin Jiufeng entered the courtyard and opened his palm. A sword case appeared.

  Inside the sword case, there were many treasured swords that were slowly being nurtured. After decades, the might of these treasured swords had increased greatly. Although they weren’t at the level of pseudo-immortal artifacts, they were still top treasured swords in the mortal realm.

  Lin Jiufeng didn’t plan to keep the pseudo-immortal artifact, the Tai Er Sword, for his own use.

  The pseudo-immortal artifact, the Tai Er Sword, was created by imitating the immortal artifact, the Tai Er Sword.

  Lin Jiufeng knew that the Tai Er Sword was an immortal artifact of the Taichu God Dynasty. It guarded the Taichu God Dynasty and wouldn’t move easily. Once it moved, it would cause landslides and tsunamis.

  The pseudo-immortal artifact was equivalent to the False Immortal Realm. It was made from various top divine stones and injected with the Dao of the False Immortal Realm.

  Although its might wasn’t comparable to a true immortal artifact, it was still not bad when being used in the mortal realm.

  But it was just not bad.

  To Lin Jiufeng, he wouldn’t use the [Dao] of another False Immortal.

  The Dao in the pseudo-immortal artifact, the Tai Er Sword, could only be said to be ordinary to Lin Jiufeng.

  Hence, after he put it away in the sword case to remove the mark of the previous owner of this pseudo-immortal artifact, he wasn’t tempted at all.

  There were many previous users of the pseudo-immortal artifact, the Tai Er Sword. Lord Eight was definitely not the first to use it. There was his mark on it, and there was also the mark of others. It was probably passed down from generation to generation by the Taichu God Dynasty’s royal family. The sword case had removed the spiritual mark of several people.

  After cleaning up the Tai Er Sword, it became resplendent and smooth, looking very delicate. This should be a sword used by a woman, which was why Lin Jiufeng thought of giving it to Princess Yulin.

  After Princess Yulin finished practicing her swordsmanship, Lin Jiufeng took out the pseudo-immortal artifact, the Tai Er Sword, and threw it over.

  The sword shot out, bringing with it white ripples in the air. Wherever it passed, the void was cut open, but fortunately, it was repaired in the very next moment.

  “Take this pseudo-immortal artifact. In the future, use it to fight and kill enemies,” Lin Jiufeng said.

  Princess Yulin was shocked. “This is too precious. It’s better for Big Grand-Uncle to use it.”

  “It’s just a pseudo-immortal artifact, not a real immortal artifact. What’s so precious about it?” Lin Jiufeng said calmly. He glanced at it, not liking it.

  “Take it. I won’t use other people’s pseudo-immortal artifacts. The Great Dao between such pseudo-immortal artifacts and me are incompatible, but you are different. You have just begun to comprehend various Great Daos. You can borrow the Sword Dao inside this sword as a reference, but remember, it’s fine to use it as a reference only. Don’t treat its Sword Dao as your Great Dao comprehension,” Lin Jiufeng advised.

  “Okay, I will remember. Thank you, Big Grand-Uncle.” Princess Yulin held the Tai Er Sword and happily agreed.

  Although Lin Jiufeng looked down on the Tai Er Sword for being just a pseudo-immortal artifact, she didn’t mind.

  It’s an immortal artifact after all! Although there was the word ‘pseudo’ in front, it was still related to an immortal artifact.

  “Why are you so happy? It’s just a pseudo-immortal artifact. It’s an imitation of the real Tai Er Sword of the Taichu God Dynasty. If you really like it, ask your brother to destroy the Taichu God Dynasty and obtain the real Tai Er Sword,” Lin Jiufeng said.

  Princess Yulin became serious. “Big Grand-Uncle, are you saying that the people of the Taichu God Dynasty have completely recovered?”

  “Yes, they must have recovered. The recovery of the spiritual energy in this era has already passed the initial slow stage and is beginning to rapidly improve. All sorts of powerhouses are emerging endlessly. The Taichu God Dynasty naturally wants to re-establish itself in this era, but they are so brazen as to kill their way into the Forbidden City twice. They are simply lawless. Go and tell Emperor De to use thunderous methods to suppress the people of the Taichu God Dynasty. Get the war machine to take action and the top powerhouses to take action too. Give the entire world a clear attitude,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.

  They killed their way into the Forbidden City twice, they were too lawless and were simply looking down on the Yuhua God Dynasty.

  Lord Nine and Lord Eight’s thinking was very simple.

  Wouldn’t it be easy for them to control the Emperor and the top officials of the Yuhua God Dynasty, and then slowly borrow the shell of the Yuhua God Dynasty to reborn their Taichu God Dynasty?

  From the bottom of their hearts, they had never placed the Yuhua God Dynasty in their eyes.

  Moreover, the changes in the spiritual energy now exceeded Lin Jiufeng’s expectations.

  He originally thought that he would have to wait another ten years before those of the Void Returning Realm would appear in this world.

  For this reason, he imprisoned Bai Tiandi and the others in the ancient city for ten years and would release them ten years later.

  But he didn’t expect to encounter two recovered Void Returning cultivators the moment he returned to the imperial capital.

  In that case, he felt slightly sorry towards Bai Tiandi and the others.

  Lin Jiufeng wondered if he should let them out too.

  As Lin Jiufeng’s thoughts spread, Princess Yulin agreed after hearing it. She said, “Then I’ll go tell Brother Emperor now.”

  Lin Jiufeng nodded. “Go.”

  Princess Yulin put away the Tai Er Sword and then left the Cold Palace to look for Emperor De in the Forbidden City.

  Only Lin Jiufeng and the little white cat were left in the Cold Palace.

  The white cat was cultivating, but she was also paying attention to Lin Jiufeng and Princess Yulin’s conversation.

  Lin Jiufeng suddenly looked at her.

  The white cat immediately retracted her thoughts and focused on her cultivation.

  Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and said to the little white cat, “Can you go to the Northwest Territory for me and go to the ancient city in the Mountain Sea Realm?”

  The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise. She stopped cultivating and asked curiously, “Why? Didn’t we just leave not long ago?”

  “Since the Void Returning Realm cultivators have already appeared in this world, it’s not good for me to continue suppressing the people in the ancient city,” Lin Jiufeng said.

  “Didn’t you say to let them out ten years later?” The white cat asked.

  “The changes in the world’s spiritual energy recovery have exceeded my expectations. I wake up every day and look at the spiritual energy that erupts in the morning. There isn’t a need to wait for ten years now,” Lin Jiufeng explained.

  “I see…” The white cat paced around.

  “Go to the Northwest Land for me this time and find Old Man Luo, Bai Tiandi, and the others. Tell them that I won’t suppress them anymore. They are free, but they are not allowed to become enemies with the Yuhua God Dynasty,” Lin Jiufeng said.

  “Why aren’t you going yourself?” The white cat mumbled. She didn’t want to be separated from Lin Jiufeng.

  Even if it was just for a day.

  “I can’t randomly wander around now.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

  “Why?” The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng, puzzled.

  He was already a False Immortal, why couldn’t he wander around?

  “My divine soul is constantly becoming stronger. It has already touched the limits of the world. If I run around, lightning tribulations will fall,” Lin Jiufeng said.

  “Are you going to be struck by lightning?” The white cat stood up in shock.

  “What do you mean by struck by lightning…” Black lines appeared on Lin Jiufeng’s forehead.

  “Wrong. You’re about to transcend the tribulation stage?” The white cat snickered.

  “That’s right. The first lightning tribulation of the False Immortal Realm isn’t far away, so I don’t want to run around.” Lin Jiufeng nodded.

  “Alright, I’ll go in your place this time.” The white cat agreed.

  “Okay, go. Be careful.” Lin Jiufeng smiled and reached out to stroke the little white cat.

  After being comfortably ravaged by Lin Jiufeng for a while, the little white cat jumped up and transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from the Cold Palace.

  At this moment, Lin Jiufeng was the only one left in the Cold Palace. He looked up at the sky. In the depths of the blue sky and white clouds, a terrifying will was targeting Lin Jiufeng.

  This will was about to take action any moment.

  “Let’s wait a little longer. I don’t want to transcend the tribulation now. Let’s wait for the spring thunder,” Lin Jiufeng said calmly.

  Tribulation Transcendence was divided into two ways.

  One was to forcefully transcend the tribulation and defy the heavens.

  The first was to wait for the world to recover. When the first spring thunder descended, the False Immortal Realm cultivators would be able to release their divine soul from their body and forcefully transcend the tribulation.

  These two methods each had their own advantages and disadvantages. One was to defy the heavens, and the other was to follow the will of the heavens.

  Lin Jiufeng chose the second option.

  After the new year passed, it would be the beginning of spring. To Lin Jiufeng, spring thunder was the best method.

  There was no need to take the risk of defying the heavens.

  Moreover, he didn’t like to defy the heavens for no reason. Lin Jiufeng liked to cultivate quietly and accumulate his strength quietly.

  Hence, when the spring thunder came, it would be a chance; an opportunity.

  “But if the spring thunder were to come, it would definitely rain. Wouldn’t I have to wait for rain again then?” Lin Jiufeng suddenly thought of this matter.

  He seemed to have been always waiting for the rain.

  Lin Jiufeng and the rain’s indissoluble bond.
