Chapter 62 - The Reason for the Brand New World
He naturally broke through the Immortal Treasury stage and entered the third stage of the Human God Realm.
Ultimate Man!
Upon reaching this stage, one would no longer have a mortal body.
Hence, they would be an Ultimate Man.
Lin Jiufeng returned to the Cold Palace.
He didn’t immediately study the intricacies of the Ultimate Man Realm.
Instead, he studied the Fate Changing Technique in detail.
In the courtyard filled with bone swords, Lin Jiufeng sat quietly as he pondered over a problem.
Fate Changing Technique.
Its name itself made it obvious that it was a heaven-defying technique.
But heaven-defying techniques were often accompanied by fatal flaws.
It was the same for the Fate Changing Technique.
One could bolster the life of a mortal in exchange for the life of a super powerhouse.
The difference between the two must be at least a hundredfold.
Only then could the prerequisite for the use of the Fate Changing Technique be satisfied.
Yes, this was only the prerequisite.
The Fate Changing Technique also had a demanding requirement for the user.
The user must have the ability to travel between the World of the Living and the Netherworld.
The current Lin Jiufeng was unable to travel between the World of the Living and the Netherworld.
‘It’s extremely difficult to execute this Fate Changing Technique.’ Lin Jiufeng sighed.
He still had to become stronger and he also had to prepare a super powerhouse for Emperor Yuan. In addition, these were just the prerequisites. There were still other requirements or ingredients before the Fate Changing Technique could be utilized.
‘Let’s take it slow. In the endless years to come, I will continue to work hard by signing in and cultivating. There is still hope. There will be.’
Lin Jiufeng buried this conundrum into the deep recesses of his mind.
But in the future, when he was more powerful than he was today, he would revisit this matter and change Emperor Yuan’s fate.
…
After making a breakthrough into the third stage of the Human God Realm…
Even Lin Jiufeng himself was starting to get scared of his own strength.
He had unlocked the True Qi, Divine Soul, Physical Body, and Daoist Charm Immortal Treasuries while he was in the Immortal Treasury stage of the Human God Realm.
According to the ancient records, a cultivator’s strength would still be terrifying after arriving at the Ultimate Man stage despite having only opened a single Immortal Treasury in the Immortal Treasury stage.
Compared to them, Lin Jiufeng had opened the four great immortal treasures.
Obviously, his strength was already incomprehensible.
In the Immortal Treasury stage, these opened Immortal Treasuries all had their own duties.
They didn’t interfere with each other nor interacted with each other.
Therefore, no one knew how truly powerful they were.
But now that he was in the Ultimate Man stage and had mastered all four of them…
He was able to stack them on top of each other.
Now, whenever Lin Jiufeng used such a method to unleash his strength. The amplification to his power wasn’t as simple as adding four 1s together with their sum representing his resulting might.
Instead, they superimposed upon each other to infinity and beyond.
Lin Jiufeng felt that every time he inhaled the air around him, he was becoming stronger.
This feeling of becoming infinitely stronger made Lin Jiufeng raise his hand.
He tapped the air in front of him out of curiosity.
Dong!
The void instantly collapsed like a mirror.
In the very next moment, Lin Jiufeng reached out and repaired the hole in the void, restoring the place to its original state.
“How terrifying!” Witnessing such a scene, the white cat meowed in surprise.
Lin Jiufeng looked at the white cat.
He smiled slightly and said, “You’re too weak. You have to make a breakthrough into the Human God Realm. Otherwise, it would be too easy for me to bully you.”
The white cat nodded solemnly.
Indeed, it was determined to make a breakthrough soon.
It couldn’t let the distance in strength between it and Lin Jiufeng become too far, could it?
The white cat no longer said that it wanted to surpass Lin Jiufeng.
It eventually realized that its wish was too unrealistic.
Now, it only wanted its cultivation base to not be so distant from Lin Jiufeng’s.
Meow ~
Suddenly, the white cat called out and began writing.
“In the past few days, there have been some changes in the underground palace. Something seems to be manifesting in the depths of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.”
Lin Jiufeng looked at the words written by the white cat and he immediately urged.
“Bring me there. Let’s take a look.”
The white cat immediately brought Lin Jiufeng into the underground palace.
This palace was originally discovered by the Chasing Corpse Sect and they treated it as their precious treasure. Unfortunately, after the death of two Martial Sages from the Chasing Corpse Sect, they no longer dared to approach it.
The palace was moved here by the Demon Lord back then for some unknown reason.
The palace was empty as ever.
Lin Jiufeng hadn’t come down for many years.
This was the white cat’s lone territory.
But this time, it realized that something was amiss.
As a result, it retreated and called Lin Jiufeng down to take a look.
Walking down the passageway, Lin Jiufeng once again saw the palace.
Lin Jiufeng immediately found out that the runes on the surface all over the palace’s walls seemed to be a defensive array formation.
With his knowledge in formations thanks to the Encyclopedia of Array Formations, he directly opened the array formation and stepped into the palace.
The palace might be empty, but it was clean and tidy.
The filth that surrounded the place when he last visited was nowhere to be seen.
The white cat had obviously moved all the trash out and cleaned up the place.
In the middle of the palace, a coffin could be seen.
Lin Jiufeng came in.
He looked around and asked, “Where is the abnormality that you said?”
The white cat jumped onto the coffin.
It pointed to the bottom of the coffin and began writing.
“It’s right under this coffin. Whenever night falls, a demonic aura seems to be coming out of it. I can hear people roaring, and sometimes when I fall asleep, I will have dreams of millions of demons crawling out of this coffin.”
Lin Jiufeng looked down. The coffin was clean.
He reached out and touched it.
Then, he used his spiritual consciousness to scan the coffin.
“There’s actually a black hole beneath this coffin?” Lin Jiufeng asked in surprise.
With a flick of his finger, a stream of True Qi burst forth.
It slowly moved the coffin away.
Click! Click! Click!
The white cat watched curiously.
When it moved halfway, the edge of the black hole could finally be seen.
Boom!
Boundless demonic energy surged out.
It directly engulfed Lin Jiufeng and the white cat.
Amidst the demonic energy were the wails and shrieks of countless demons.
“Hahaha! It has been 1,500 years! I can finally see the light of day again!”
“That demon last time actually suppressed me for 1,500 years. He really deserves to die.”
“We could have become stronger in this world, but we were suppressed for 1,500 years instead!”
“The scent of this brand new world is so wonderful. I want to kill lots of people. I want to use their blood and life to comfort myself after being suppressed for so many years…”
All sorts of screams, hideous shrieks and angry roars sounded non-stop.
The dense demonic energy scared the white cat so much that its hair stood on end.
It curled its back and bared its teeth.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jiufeng’s face turned cold.
He directly took a step forward.
“You lot really behaved atrociously in front of the wrong person…”
Dong!
Lin Jiufeng stepped down. In an instant, a boundless might and a thick Dao charm burst forth at once. The combination completely suppressed the demonic aura.
The surging demonic energy was completely suppressed.
Lin Jiufeng’s clothes fluttered, his aura was unparalleled, and his eyes were cold.
“Don’t run!” Lin Jiufeng reached out and grabbed a demon in the black hole.
Without caring whether the other party agreed or not, he directly grabbed and dragged him out.
“Who are you?”
“There’s actually a powerhouse like you in this brand new world?”
“You’re already at the Human God Realm?”
“How is this possible?”
This demon had a strange appearance.
His neck was long and he had a head that looked like it would fall off from his shoulders at any moment.
Right now, Lin Jiufeng was holding his head.
His face turned red from the pressure as he looked at Lin Jiufeng in horror.
“Tell me, where are you from?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“We are demons from a demon’s den.” The demon felt terrible being held by the neck, but he didn’t dare to struggle.
Under Lin Jiufeng’s powerful aura, he couldn’t resist at all. Thus, he could only answer.
Lin Jiufeng frowned and asked, “What’s a demon’s den? What’s the brand new world? And what’s your motive for coming here?”
“A demon’s den is just a demon’s den. Ours existed since 8,000 years ago.”
“The words, ‘brand new world’ has a meaning…”
“It means that every era has a cycle, from the beginning to its rise and then to its decline. This is considered the cycle of an era. But when the decline comes, a demon’s den will close and wait for the next cycle.”
“And now, it is the beginning of yet again another cycle. Naturally, the seal on our demon’s den has been lifted and we are about to come out from it into the world.”
“We tried to come out 1,500 years ago, but the spiritual energy of the world had yet to recover at that time. A brand new world wasn’t born yet. As a result, we were easily suppressed by a demonic cultivator.” The demon spoke very fast and his words solved Lin Jiufeng’s doubts.
