The painting completely suppressed the auras of the nine False Immortals in the Kunlun Mountains.
Although Huang Xian’er was unwilling, she had to retreat. She didn’t expect that the Yuhua God Dynasty had such a powerful magic treasure.
No, this was no longer a magic treasure.
This was an immortal artifact!
Moreover, it was an immortal artifact that had been completely activated. Only by awakening the [Soul] in the immortal artifact could it have such a might.
Huang Xian’er’s retreat represented that the Kunlun Mountains’ plan this time had completely failed.
It also represented that the prestige of the Yuhua God Dynasty would rise to another level.
In an instant, the news spread all over the world.
The Yuhua God Dynasty used a painting of the people to suppress the nine False Immortals in the Kunlun Mountains, causing the world to erupt.
The common people were overjoyed. They could all feel the extremely terrifying auras and the might of the painting. It resisted the Kunlun Mountains and protected the common people of the world. They gathered together and cheered in excitement.
Although the people of the world were happy, the various sect masters were unhappy.
They originally thought that the Kunlun Mountains would most probably win. The nine terrifying auras from the Kunlun Mountains caused countless people to be shocked, feeling that the Yuhua God Dynasty would definitely collapse.
Especially when Princess Yulin rejected Huang Xianer’s request.
These people really thought that Princess Yulin was seeking death, that the Yuhua God Dynasty was seeking death.
But when the painting appeared, it suppressed them until they spat out blood. Their bodies trembled and almost cracked. Then, they didn’t think so anymore.
“Who would have thought that there would actually be an immortal artifact hidden inside the Yuhua God Dynasty? An immortal artifact that has completely awakened too.” A demonic sect master gnashed his teeth in hatred. His heart simply wanted to vomit blood.
He felt aggrieved!
They were all waiting for the Yuhua God Dynasty to fall into pieces and be destroyed by the False Immortals in the Kunlun Mountains. Who would have thought that the Yuhua God Dynasty would make it through and suppress the Kunlun Mountains instead?
“The immortal artifact isn’t terrifying. What’s terrifying is a fully awakened immortal artifact. Such an immortal artifact requires extremely powerful strength to support its usage. Only a False Immortal who has at least transcended several lightning tribulations can have enough magic power to use a fully awakened immortal artifact. Is the Yuhua God Dynasty’s False Immortal that powerful?” A Daoist Sect Master questioned.
“Whether he’s that powerful or not is no longer meaningful now. The Yuhua God Dynasty has suppressed the nine False Immortals in the Kunlun Mountains. The might of the Yuhua God Dynasty has surged and is incomparably powerful. It’s impossible for the Yuhua God Dynasty to be wiped out now. Instead, the support of the people in it has increased. What logic is this?” Someone said in dejection.
“There’s no need to be so dejected. The Yuhua God Dynasty’s move this time is unexpected, but didn’t you see that after fighting the nine enemies alone for three days and three nights, the portrait still didn’t kill a single False Immortal? This means that although the Yuhua God Dynasty has a trump card, it isn’t that powerful. Moreover, they are unable to continue suppressing so many people.” Seeing that these people were depressed, the Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path immediately stood out to cheer everyone up.
“Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path, you’ve said so much, but why don’t I see you stepping forward to resist the Yuhua God Dynasty? You are now the sharpest sword under Emperor De of the Yuhua God Dynasty. Emperor De used you guys and killed many sects that resisted them. Your Zenith Heaven Path is the biggest lackey of the Yuhua God Dynasty,” a demonic cultivator said in a strange manner.
“Indeed!” The others nodded. Even though the Zenith Heaven Path was unwilling, it was indeed the sharpest knife in Emperor De’s hands during all these years.
Even the war machine wasn’t as useful as the Zenith Heaven Path in dealing with these small sects and the hidden enemies of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Because the war machine was too powerful, it spent most of its time recovering on its own, absorbing spiritual energy, and recovering to its peak.
Unless absolutely needed, Emperor De didn’t want to trouble the war machine. Therefore, when he encountered sects that were going against the national policy of the Yuhua God Dynasty or aristocratic families that were abusing their power, he would send an order to the Zenith Heaven Path and give them a limit of three days to completely eliminate this sect or aristocratic family.
In troubled times, forceful methods should be used.
The interior of the Yuhua God Dynasty was peaceful and the common people lived a happy life.
But this era was a chaotic one.
The historical books recorded that every era of spiritual energy recovery was a chaotic era.
The golden age of cultivators was an extremely tough age for those who weren’t cultivators.
Even cultivators could also easily die and be killed in such an era.
The recovery of spiritual energy was a tragedy of blood and bone.
In such an era, only geniuses and ambitious people were the happiest.
It was the same in the previous eras and had never been changed. But it was different now.
In this era, not only was there no large-scale bleeding, but the common people also benefited from the recovery of spiritual energy. Their bodies were healthy, their lifespans were extended, and their cultivation was smooth.
This was the true meaning of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s existence.
That was why these sects that wanted to seize the opportunity to rise up and recover their past glory were so dissatisfied.
They couldn’t wait to completely overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty.
The Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path stood forward at this moment. Being questioned by everyone, he hurriedly explained, “Everyone knows that after the Zenith Heaven Path recovered, we were controlled by the Yuhua God Dynasty. Also, during these years, the Yuhua God Dynasty took away the war machine and used it to threaten us. We have no choice but to compromise and follow.”
But no one believed this explanation. Everyone sneered. The Yuhua God Dynasty was at its peak now. It seemed that the Kunlun Mountains wouldn’t be a threat to the Yuhua God Dynasty for the time being.
Hence, some sect masters sighed helplessly. Another crisis was resolved by the Yuhua God Dynasty. They hid in the dark and didn’t dare to make a move. If they really angered the Yuhua God Dynasty and were targeted, they wouldn’t have nine False Immortals to protect them.
“Let’s wait. It won’t be long before my ancestor can recover.” At this moment, the various sect masters comforted themselves in their hearts.
The Ancient Kunlun Mountains had already recovered. The huge amount of spiritual energy it brought was surging into the world. In the future, the amount of spiritual energy would be increasing by large amounts every moment.
They would just have to wait for at most one year before their own False Immortals could descend into this world.
Hence, they could still wait.
…
The Hundred Races of the Kunlun Mountains were extremely unwilling to accept this result.
Especially the Nest of 10,000 Dragons. After Huang Xian’er returned, she directly went to look for the False Immortal Patriarch.
The False Immortal Patriarch of the Nest of 10,000 Dragons was also a woman. She was relatively beautiful. Her body was slender and light, her skin was snow-white, almost transparent like jade.
In the eyes of outsiders, she was covered in seven-colored light and it was difficult to see her face.
But in Huang Xian’er’s eyes, her ancestor’s face was clearly visible.
The beautiful ancestor’s eyes were sharp and her figure was round in the appropriate places. It would be difficult for men to resist her.
Her beautiful hair was smooth and soft. She walked towards Huang Xian’er step by step, like a goddess.
“Are you in a bad mood?” The Patriarch asked.
“Big Sister Divine Silkworm, we made a huge commotion and returned to this source world, planning to restore the glory of 15,000 years ago. But now, we are being suppressed by the Yuhua God Dynasty just like this?” Huang Xian’er asked, puzzled.
The current False Immortal Patriarch of the Nest of 10,000 Dragons was a Divine Silkworm. She taught Huang Xian’er since she was young, but she always asked Huang Xian’er to call her Big Sister and not Patriarch.
“Have you witnessed the might of that painting just now?” Sister Divine Silkworm asked.
“I’ve seen it. It’s indeed very powerful, but I believe that Sister Divine Silkworm will definitely be able to defeat it. Didn’t Sister Divine Silkworm say that you had already transcended one lightning tribulation?” Huang Xian’er asked.
“That’s right. I did transcend one lightning tribulation, but do you know something?” Sister Divine Silkworm looked at Huang Xian’er in a strange manner.
“What?” Huang Xian’er looked at Big Sister Divine Silkworm, puzzled.
“If I were to completely go all out, I would be able to fight against it, but not the others,” Big Sister Divine Silkworm said.
The Ancient Kunlun Mountains had appeared, and the powerhouses inside were also gradually recovering. It was absolutely impossible for all of them to recover in a short period.
“Those top False Immortals have no way of forcefully wasting time. They can only choose to continue sleeping and wait for an opportunity. When the Ancient Kunlun Mountains were sealed, it was impossible for them to ascend. Therefore, among the awakened False Immortals, I’m the only one who has successfully transcended the tribulation. The others have only just broken through to the False Immortal Realm and haven’t even transcended a single lightning tribulation,” Sister Divine Silkworm said.
“Since Sister Divine Silkworm can fight against the Painting of the People, why did the nine of you fight for three days and three nights, increasing the prestige of the Yuhua God Dynasty for no reason?” Huang Xian’er didn’t understand why she did this.
Sister Divine Silkworm smiled and said, “You’re still too young. I’ve always taught you how to cultivate in the past, but I forgot to teach you about the evil of the human heart.”
“Do you think that the Hundred Races living in the Kunlun Mountains will advance and retreat together?” Sister Divine Silkworm asked.
Huang Xian’er frowned. Wasn’t that the case?
She had always thought so in the past. The Kunlun Mountains and the Hundred Races sounded like a group.
Sister Divine Silkworm said solemnly, “Don’t believe in others. The so-called Hundred Races, even in the era where all races existed side by side 15,000 years ago, didn’t have a so-called collective concept.”
Huang Xian’er took a deep breath. It was only now that she finally knew about this matter.
“The era of the tens of thousands of races was an era of blood and death. The killing was a common occurrence. Every day, a race was wiped out, and every day, mountains of corpses and seas of blood would appear. It was also a common thing for powerful monsters to devour tens of thousands of people on a whim. At that time, the Hundred Races of the Kunlun Mountains also fought against each other. At that time, the Nest of 10,000 Dragons ruled a region and established a God Dynasty. We wanted to protect the people and the major races of the God Dynasty, but we failed in the end. At that time, the races of the Kunlun Mountains ate our people as much as they wanted and were unscrupulous. This is a bloody reality,” Sister Divine Silkworm sighed and said.
“This is actually the case…” Huang Xian’er was shocked.
Although she was older than Princess Yulin, she really didn’t experience as much as Princess Yulin.
Princess Yulin had grown up in the God Dynasty. Her father passed away when she was in her teens. Then, she was almost forced to be married to the barbarians of Xianbei.
Fortunately, she met Lin Jiufeng, who brought her to the Plains. She cut Wolf Storey Mountain in halves with Lin Jiufeng’s sword and was guided onto the path of cultivation. Along the way, when troubles came, she braved the wind and rain and overcame the obstacles to achieve her current achievements.
Princess Yulin even took over the intelligence organization that Emperor De spent decades building and became the biggest intelligence leader of the Yuhua God Dynasty. She had seen all sorts of dirty things and experienced all sorts of dark human hearts.
However, despite experiencing these, Princess Yulin’s heart was still as precious as gold.
Huang Xian’er didn’t have so much experience. The Ancient Kunlun Mountains were sealed, so the Huang Xian’er didn’t have much to compete for. Therefore, they rested and recuperated. The powerhouses chose to seal themselves and extend their lives because they didn’t want to be awake and wait for death. So slowly, Huang Xian’er was mystified by the so-called Hundred Races.
She believed that the Hundred Races should help each other, and the Hundred Races should be a single collective group.
But now, Sister Divine Silkworm was telling her solemnly and coldly that this wasn’t the case.
The Hundred Races was illusory propaganda. The nature of the various races was to kill each other. Each race was to step on the corpse of another race to improve their own cultivation base.
Together, these things allowed Huang Xian’er to undergo a transformation.
Sister Divine Silkworm continued, “This time, the Yuhua God Dynasty came to suppress the emergence of the Ancient Kunlun Mountains. You know what the decision is after the various major races discussed this matter. Firstly, maintain our composure and ask for a territory with a radius of a million miles. Secondly, when the various old ancestors have all recovered, we will destroy the agreement and seek to rule the entire world.”
Huang Xian’er nodded. This was also what led to her being chosen to discuss this with Princess Yulin.
“But no one expected that the Yuhua God Dynasty would be so powerful. The appearance of the Painting of the People caught everyone off guard. The other False Immortals and I couldn’t do anything about it, so we need to stay quiet for now.”
“Sister Divine Silkworm, didn’t you just say that you could fight with that painting if you attacked with your full strength?” Huang Xian’er asked, puzzled.
The expression on Big Sister Divine Silkworm’s face became complicated. She looked at Huang Xian’er and said faintly, “If I tell you that the Painting of the People we saw is essentially a ball of light and not the true form of that terrifying magic treasure, will you believe me?”
“What?” Huang Xian’er looked at Big Sister Divine Silkworm in shock.
Sister Divine Silkworm smiled bitterly. “I could only resist a ball of light sent from that magic treasure when I attacked with all my might. If we don’t keep a low profile and really attract the False Immortal of the Yuhua God Dynasty to come here, it will be a catastrophe for the current Nest of 10,000 Dragons.”
“Is the Yuhua God Dynasty actually so terrifying?” Huang Xian’er was shocked and speechless.
“It’s that person in the Yuhua God Dynasty who’s terrifying!” Sister Divine Silkworm said.
…
Princess Yulin looked at the majestic Kunlun Mountains and heaved a sigh of relief.
Three days ago, the situation was very subtle at the time. Nine False Immortal Realm cultivators appeared out of nowhere and intimidated the world. They wanted to threaten the Yuhua God Dynasty to give up the land within a million-mile radius. That was really a great test for her.
But she still bore it and firmly refused.
Then, the Painting of the People that represented the people of the world appeared out of thin air. It illuminated the entire Yuhua God Dynasty, causing countless people and countless factions to be shocked. It was as if they had seen something incredible.
The painting didn’t disappoint the Yuhua God Dynasty. It successfully suppressed the nine False Immortals of the Kunlun Mountains.
The nine False Immortals joined forces, but they only managed to end up in a tie with a single painting. This itself was a big problem.
Hence, Princess Yulin was incomparably happy now. With a dazzling smile on her beautiful face, she turned around and said to Fire Lord and the others, “There should be no problem from the Kunlun Mountains for the time being. I reckon that they won’t cause trouble any time soon.”
Fire Lord laughed out loud and said, “After the appearance of the painting, if they still want to continue causing trouble, they are just seeking death.”
“The Painting of the People is too terrifying. Each of its auras can suppress me to death.” Old Man Luo clicked his tongue, extremely envious.
“Is this Painting of the People the trump card of the Yuhua God Dynasty?” A friend who was invited by Bai Tiandi asked curiously.
Everyone looked at Princess Yulin.
Since this matter concerned the Yuhua God Dynasty, this question could only be answered by Princess Yulin.
Princess Yulin shook her head gently and said, “The greatest trump card of the Yuhua God Dynasty is never a painting, but a person.”
“A person?” The few people who were invited looked at Princess Yulin in surprise.
What did this mean?
There was someone stronger than the Painting of the People?
As for Bai Tiandi and the other three, their expressions were subtle as they thought of Mr. Lin.
Princess Yulin’s words were correct. The trump card of the Yuhua God Dynasty would never be anything else but a person.
The number one immortal in the world!
Mr. Lin.
Princess Yulin smiled very happily, but she shook her head and didn’t answer this question.
The people who were invited also knew that this question was a little presumptuous.
“We brothers were invited here, but we weren’t of any help at all. Instead, we witnessed the incomparable beauty of this painting. Our horizons were broadened, but at the same time, we couldn’t help but feel guilty,” a quiet Void Returning cultivator said in shame.
“No, it’s the opposite. Instead, I feel that your arrival is the greatest gain for the Yuhua God Dynasty. I wonder if the Yuhua God Dynasty has the honor to invite you all to join us. You won’t be restrained and can come and go freely as the royal consecrators of the Yuhua God Dynasty.” Princess Yulin invited sincerely. These eight Void Returning Realms that came to help were a huge force. If they really become members of the Yuhua God Dynasty, it would definitely be a joyous matter.
“This…”
The eight Void Returning cultivators who were invited looked at each other. Some were tempted, some hesitated, and some were thinking.
“Don’t hesitate. Everyone has seen how powerful the Yuhua God Dynasty is. At the same time, everyone knows how much the Yuhua God Dynasty favors the common people. If you don’t join, are you going to continue being a rogue cultivator and fight alone? In this world that is about to return to its peak, it will be very difficult being alone.” Bai Tiandi advised.
“Everyone, you guys have heard of my name, Fire Lord. I’m about to break through to the False Immortal Realm, but I still joined the Yuhua God Dynasty and listened to Emperor De’s orders. It’s for no other reason than for a bright future and also to do something good for the people of this world,” Fire Lord said solemnly.
“Everyone, there’s no need to worry about not having a sense of belonging in the Yuhua God Dynasty. As the saying goes, a place of peace is our hometown. A dynasty like the Yuhua God Dynasty has never been seen before since ancient times. Being able to join in and create a glorious era together, I guarantee that everyone will definitely be able to break through to the False Immortal Realm.” Old Man Luo also joined in the persuasion.
King Kaoshan was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, the eight of them looked at each other and agreed directly.
“Princess Yulin, the eight of us are all willing to join the Yuhua God Dynasty and follow the Yuhua God Dynasty to establish a glorious dynasty. This is because the princess has said that the Yuhua God Dynasty uses people as the foundation. If this ideal changes in the future, we brothers will leave.” Among the eight, the most powerful cultivator, the quiet scholar, said solemnly.
Just like Fire Lord, he was at the peak of the Void Returning Realm, one step into the False Immortal Realm.
He was known as Scholar Wen. He cultivated the Energy of Uprightness, and his nature was of the orthodox path. After seeing the ideals of the Yuhua God Dynasty, he agreed with them greatly. So at this moment, he represented the other seven and made the request.
“No problem. As long as everyone discovers that the Yuhua God Dynasty is bad to the common people and has lost the ideal of doing good to the people, feel free to leave,” Princess Yulin was overjoyed and said happily.
She was very confident in this.
Because once they lost their reputation as being good to the people, not to mention the common people, even Big Grand-Uncle also probably wouldn’t care about the Yuhua God Dynasty anymore.
If that happened, the Yuhua God Dynasty would be seeking death. By that time, it was only natural that these people would leave.
“Everyone, we will guard here for a month. If there is no movement from the Kunlun Mountains after a month, then that means they aren’t planning to make a move at all,” Princess Yulin said.
The others nodded. They also believed that the Kunlun Mountains wouldn’t dare to do anything anymore.
The Painting of the People was too terrifying.
…
In the imperial capital, after the painting flew out, Lin Jiufeng hung up the [Light of the Homes].
“In this case, the Hundred Races in the Kunlun Mountains will be a little quieter, right?” Lin Jiufeng said to himself.
The [Light of the Homes] had been absorbing the scent of lives of the common people. The more stable the lives of the common people were, the stronger the [Light of the Homes] became.
Lin Jiufeng continued to hang it up. The light that flew out was enough to deter the nine False Immortals in the Kunlun Mountains.
But now wasn’t the time for it to truly appear.
“Meow, why didn’t you go personally?” The white cat came out and asked Lin Jiufeng curiously.
“If I have to take action for everything, will the people of the Yuhua God Dynasty still have room to grow?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
He could solve the Hundred Races in the Kunlun Mountains and the nine False Immortals.
But these people couldn’t overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty anyway. Leaving them alive could still temper Princess Yulin and the others, spurring their growth.
Of course, the most important problem was that Lin Jiufeng had more important things to do.
The Land of Extremely Negative Energy!
The Land of Extremely Negative Energy beneath the Cold Palace was Lin Jiufeng’s old friend.
In the past, Lin Jiufeng’s gains in the Land of Extremely Negative Energy were huge. He obtained a lot of treasures, but as he gradually became stronger, he discovered that the Land of Extremely Negative Energy had become increasingly useless.
Lin Jiufeng once thought that the Land of Extremely Negative Energy was of no use to him anymore.
But reality proved that he was still too young and naive.
The fact that the Land of Extremely Negative Energy could cause countless top powerhouses and countless sect masters to fight over it in the previous era proved the importance of this place.
There was a huge secret in the Land of Extremely Negative Energy. It was definitely not as simple as it appeared to be now.
Especially after Lin Jiufeng transcended the tribulation, he truly felt the difference in the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.
Even though it was blocked by a very deep layer of earth and the Cold Place, Lin Jiufeng still sensed something special coming from the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
In order to explore the Land of Extremely Negative Energy, Lin Jiufeng resisted the urge to go out and find places to sign in. After stabilizing his cultivation base that had skyrocketed after transcending the tribulation, he began to make preparations seriously.
He once again entered the Land of Extremely Negative Energy!
This was the first time in the few months since he returned to the imperial capital that he was preparing to go to the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.
Previously, he didn’t go down to visit the Land of Extremely Negative Energy. On the one hand, he was preparing to transcend the tribulation, so Lin Jiufeng didn’t want to divert his attention. The outcome of multitasking was often that one couldn’t do anything well.
On the other hand, Lin Jiufeng felt that he wouldn’t discover anything even if he went down.
The Land of Extremely Negative Energy was as usual. He didn’t sense any special movement coming from it.
There were several times when he went down and wanted to open the Land of Extremely Negative Energy, but he chose to give up even though it was already within reach.
But this time was different. After Lin Jiufeng succeeded in transcending the tribulation, he faintly felt the fluctuations of the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.
Only those who were transcending the tribulation could sense this fluctuation.
If it were anyone else, they would have to undergo at least two or three tribulations to feel it.
But Lin Jiufeng’s divine soul was powerful. After the baptism of the tribulation, it became increasingly terrifying. Only then did he sense it.
But Lin Jiufeng wasn’t in a hurry. He stabilized his mentality, then stabilized his realm and combat strength before deciding to go down.
As for the Kunlun Mountains?
To Lin Jiufeng, it was just an incident. After scaring them with the [Light of the Homes], Lin Jiufeng ignored them.
With Princess Yulin and the Void Returning Realm cultivators guarding the Kunlun Mountains, it wouldn’t pose a problem.
They probably didn’t have the guts to offend the Yuhua God Dynasty again.
After Lin Jiufeng was done with his preparations, he prepared to go to the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.
The white cat wanted to go with Lin Jiufeng.
But Lin Jiufeng didn’t allow her.
“This time, I have a strange feeling that there’s an inexplicable danger in the Land of Extremely Negative Energy. It’s not suitable for you to follow.”
The white cat meowed and then looked at Lin Jiufeng with her watery eyes. She didn’t speak, just giving off a pitiful look.
Lin Jiufeng turned around and left.
He didn’t want to bring the little white cat along.
Meow ~
The mournful meow of a cat made Lin Jiufeng stop in his tracks.
Lin Jiufeng turned around helplessly. He spread his arms and said, “I’ll bring you along.”
“Meow, meow, meow. I knew that you couldn’t bear to leave me alone, and I also couldn’t bear to leave you. If we encounter danger, we can just face it together,” the white cat said happily. She jumped into Lin Jiufeng’s arms, stretched out her pink tongue, and licked Lin Jiufeng’s palm. It was very intimate.
“What if we really encounter danger?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the little white cat.
“As long as I’m with you, I’m not afraid of any danger,” the white cat said firmly.
“Let’s go.” Lin Jiufeng’s lips curled up. He wanted to smile, but he resisted it with all his might.
“If you want to smile, just smile. What’s the use of pretending to be aloof in front of me?” The white cat mumbled.
“If you continue talking, I won’t bring you along anymore,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.
“I won’t talk anymore. I just like to see your aloof appearance. You look very cool that way. Continue to maintain it.” The white cat squeezed out a smile and even rubbed her little head in Lin Jiufeng’s arms.
Life was tough, being a cat was also tough.
Lin Jiufeng carried the little white cat and walked through the underground passageway to the entrance of the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.
Opening the seal, the Land of Extremely Negative Energy was shrouded in darkness.
A line of words appeared before Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.
[Do you want to Sign-In at the Dark Land of Extremely Negative Energy?]
