Chapter 97 - Releasing the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling
Once the 3,000 plus demons were no longer useful for his signing-in, he would release them all into the world. This was a plan that Lin Jiufeng had made a long time ago.
The world was recovering from its previous drought and the quality of the world’s spiritual energy was constantly improving.
Countless people benefited from this.
But for Lin Jiufeng, it simply wasn’t enough.
Because his progress was faster than the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy.
The recovery of the world’s spiritual energy couldn’t keep up with Lin Jiufeng’s pace.
In the end, Lin Jiufeng decided to give it a push from behind the scenes.
When the demons in the demon’s den heard Lin Jiufeng’s words, they were all shocked.
He was that confident?
He was confident that he was powerful enough to suppress the world?
Some demons sneered.
They didn’t believe Lin Jiufeng’s words at all.
Once they were released, the one who would suffer would only be Lin Jiufeng.
Some demons were already planning to absorb the spiritual energy in the world to recover their strength after they got out.
Then, they would immediately come over to kill Lin Jiufeng and take their revenge.

Lin Jiufeng knew that these demons were scheming against him, but he didn’t care.
He only looked at the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling and asked, “Do you agree?”
The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling asked solemnly, “I just need to persuade them not to make any trouble?”
“What if they don’t listen to me?” He then followed up with another question.
“Then, they will be forcing me to make a move,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly, “It’s not that I can’t make a move, but I don’t want to. I have more important things to deal with.”
If this Tauren-looking demon really couldn’t persuade them, Lin Jiufeng could fight against them before the arrival of the first spring rain.
But at that time, Lin Jiufeng would be forced to use the aura he had accumulated so far to aid his breakthrough. The talismans he had prepared would also be damaged.
The gains would simply not make up for the losses.
After hearing Lin Jiufeng’s words, the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling said straightforwardly, “Since you dare to let me out, I will definitely go out. I will also go and persuade them, but whether they will listen or not, I cannot guarantee.”
Lin Jiufeng opened the seal of the demon’s den and said, “Come up yourself.”
The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling looked at the opened seal.
Excitement flickered in his eyes.
He had wanted to leave for a long time, but now, his dreams had finally come true.
Boom!
Ignoring his own injuries, the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling leaped into the air and directly left the demon’s den.
The other demons below watched enviously.
They also wanted to go out.
Lin Jiufeng said, “Don’t be envious. It won’t be long before I release you all.”
After saying this—without looking at their excited expressions—Lin Jiufeng closed the seal once more.
He looked at the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling.
His form was a Tauren.
But his original form was that of a Heaven Raising Bull—an ancient mutated beast with boundless strength and incredibly thick skin.
He was currently in his human form. There was a pair of horns on his head. His face was rough, and he was taller than Lin Jiufeng by a head. If estimated, he was about two meters tall.
Two words could be used to describe him directly—big and strong.
But in front of the delicate and weak-looking Lin Jiufeng, he remained prudent and cautious.
He didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
“Come out with me.”
Lin Jiufeng turned and left, following the passageway into the Cold Palace up above.
The white cat laid on top of the cherry blossom tree. She was waiting for Lin Jiufeng’s return. When she saw Lin Jiufeng coming out, she immediately stood up.
But when she saw the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling, she held back and curiously paced back and forth instead.
Lin Jiufeng reached out, hugged the white cat into his arms, and gently stroked her fur.
“You live here?” The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling looked around and asked in confusion.
This was indeed a huge palace.
But the peeling walls, loose stone bricks, and the rotten wooden beams had all but decayed.
Was this an abandoned palace?
Lin Jiufeng might not be the strongest person in the world right now, but he was at least the strongest person from this era.
But why was he staying in such a place?
To think that his lifestyle was this modest…
Lin Jiufeng responded, “It isn’t the height of the mountains that matters, but if there are Immortals living on it. A house might be dilapidated, but it’s the virtue of the person staying there that matters in the end.”
“Okay, I’m going now,” said the Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling.
“Go. Try to persuade them. I don’t want to kill anyone for now,” Lin Jiufeng calmly replied.
The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling choked.
These words of his were just too arrogant, but hearing them from Lin Jiufeng’s mouth, he actually didn’t think that there was anything wrong with them.
‘There must be something wrong with me!’
The Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling shook his head and turned to leave.
He leaped up and rode the clouds, disappearing from the Cold Palace.
In the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng stared at Great Sage of the Heaven Leveling’s back without saying a word.
“Why did you let him go?” The white cat asked softly in Lin Jiufeng’s arms.
The white cat knew that he was a demon from that underground demon’s den and that he was a very powerful existence. Once he was released, he would absorb the renewed spiritual energy in the air and recover his peak strength.
By then, he would definitely be a huge problem.
“I am letting him persuade his comrades so that they won’t come here to die,” Lin Jiufeng said.
“Didn’t you want to wait for the rain?” The white cat asked curiously.
“This rain might be arriving anytime now.” Lin Jiufeng looked up at the sky.
The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.
The air smelled of spring, moist and full of water.
The first spring rain was coming!
…
Forbidden City, Great Council Hall.
Upon Emperor De’s return, he got people to gather information about all sorts of things related to the Seven Great Sages.
This investigation really made him discover a lot of things that he didn’t know before.
The Great Sage of the Ocean Cover came into being from overseas.
His awakening was the result of a sea disaster that stirred up huge waves and shattered the island he was sealed on.
The power of nature was truly formidable.
The Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens came from a huge mountain.
He woke up from the mountain and opened his eyes to look at the world.
Then, he discovered that the Monster Race no longer had a place for them to live.
Hence, he was the first to say that he wanted to come to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty and take back the territory of the Monster Race from the human emperor of the God Dynasty.
Upon hearing this news, the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover also crossed the sea to come here.
He also wanted a piece of land for himself.
Right now, these two were the only ones who publicly demanded territory and said that they wanted to come to the Imperial Capital and visit Emperor De.
The other Great Sages appeared separately, but some only occupied a hilltop while others traveled the world to thoroughly take in the sights of this brand new era.
They never explicitly said that they were coming to the Imperial Capital.
The Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race and Demon Race had different personalities.
Among them, the ones that were the most irritable were the Great Sage of the Ocean Cover and the Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens.
Their arrival caused the demonic sects that had been silent for a long time to celebrate wantonly.
The demonic sects that had become silent after being beaten up by Lin Jiufeng a few years ago now appeared once again. They were cheering for these two Great Sages with all of their might.
The information that Emperor De gathered was also spread around by the demonic sects.
After collecting this information, Emperor De happily brought the information he gathered along and went to see Lin Jiufeng on a dark and windy night.
In front of the Cold Palace, Emperor De said respectfully, “Big Grand-Uncle, I’ve already gathered the information you need.”
Meow!
The white cat appeared. It took away the bundle of information and left Emperor De alone.
“Go back and manage the dynasty properly. Someone will deal with the Seven Sages. Easing the worries of your citizens is what you should do right now,” Lin Jiufeng said.
“Okay… Thank you in advance, Big Grand-Uncle! I shall take my leave now.”
Emperor De left in satisfaction.
After receiving Lin Jiufeng’s guarantee, his worries disappeared.
To save the Yuhua God Dynasty and to protect Emperor Yuan’s legacy, he had put in quite a bit of effort.
Fortunately, there were people in the Yuhua God Dynasty that he could depend on.
When Emperor De returned to the Forbidden City in a good mood, he was called over by the Empress Dowager. In Empress Dowager’s palace, Princess Yulin was also present.
Both women then looked at Emperor De.
