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

Chapter 115: Don’t Dare

Dachun left.

Just as he had said—a man does not turn away from the road, a tiger does not turn away from the mountains.

Dachun had no wild ambitions in the path of cultivation. In the end, he chose to stay away from the turbulent Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty to fulfill his filial duties in peace.

After Dachun’s departure, Lin Jiufeng became lonelier.

He closed the doors of the Cold Palace. Other than signing in before the tomb of an invincible powerhouse of the previous era every day within the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy, he spent the rest of his time cultivating in silence.

This cycle repeated day after day.

Until one month later…

Lin Jiufeng arrived at the door of the Cold Palace. As usual, he patiently waited for Dachun to deliver this month’s batch of food and wine.

But Dachun was nowhere to be seen.

It was rare for Dachun to be late.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the tightly shut door.

It was only then that he came to a sudden realization…

Dachun had truly left.

Another one of the few people he knew had left his side once more.

At night, Lin Jiufeng didn’t cultivate. He walked alone outside the courtyard, looking up at the moonlight under the bare cherry blossom tree. Both his hands were placed on his lower abdomen, and as he looked up, his thin body radiated loneliness.

Meow!

The white cat stood on the top of the wall.

She looked at Lin Jiufeng and called out softly.

“Little Cat, after all these years, the people I have known have all left me one by one. They either died or went far away. Now I know how lonely the path of cultivation can be.”

Lin Jiufeng raised his head. There was a trace of loneliness on his handsome face.

“I’m still here,” the white cat said gently as she looked into Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

“I’ve been working hard in my cultivation all this time. I’ve never caused trouble, never made a name for myself, never talked about my future. I’ve only been walking on the path of cultivation quietly in this cold palace, all for the sake of eventually reaching the summit of this path.”

“Unknowingly, I am now on the path to invincibility…”

“The people around me have left me one after another.”

“It turns out that at the summit of being invincible is nothing but loneliness,” Lin Jiufeng said rather seriously.

It wasn’t that he was sad, it was just that he wasn’t used to it just yet.

He developed the habit of waiting for Dachun’s food delivery over the course of a few decades.

But this month, he now didn’t have to continue that habit.

“I will always be by your side,” the white cat said firmly.

Lin Jiufeng smiled and reached out with his hand.

The white cat leaped into Lin Jiufeng’s arms.

Lin Jiufeng caught her as she laid comfortably in his arms.

“The path of cultivation is like a huge mountain. There are people at every step of the way, and they are doing their best to climb up while chasing after the people higher than them…”

“Some people got tired and stopped to rest. Some lost their footing and fell to the foot of this mountain, while some people continued to move forward bravely and eventually reached the peak.”

“I am one of those courageous people who have always been climbing…”

“The only difference between me and them—is that I still don’t know where the summit is.”

“In these five years, I’ve practiced countless peerless cultivation techniques from the previous era and eventually went on to create my own invincible technique.”

“Little Cat, let me bring you to the top of this great mountain…”

“Let’s see what it’s like to be truly invincible.”

Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat and spoke his thoughts under the moonlight.

Meow!

He was already invincible in the current era.

But he wondered if he would still be invincible if he was placed in the previous era?

…

The world has changed drastically in the past five years.

In the past, Martial Sages were considered to be powerful powerhouses.

But now, they have become as common as cabbages in wet markets.

Back then, a reputable sect without a peak Human God expert presiding over it would definitely be wiped out in a blink of an eye.

But in the past five years, many experts made their own breakthroughs into the Grotto-Heaven Realm—a realm above the Human God Realm.

These five years were definitely five glorious years for the demonic sects.

Following Lin Jiufeng’s suppression of the demonic sects, the momentum of their rise directly collapsed. Each of the 18 demonic sects wanted nothing more than to completely overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty.

They hated the Yuhua God Dynasty to the core.

Taking advantage of the commotion that Demon King Jiao caused after he came into being, the demonic sects wanted to overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty. But before they could even do anything substantial, Demon King Jiao was suppressed

The demonic sects thus became disheartened. In the end, they decided to remain silent.

But a pleasant surprise came…

More than 3,000 demons from the previous era came into being at once and threw the world into chaos.

The 18 demonic sects once again felt that they were finally strong enough to make another move.

With more than 3,000 demonic ancestors present, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake for them to destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty?

But for some reason, the 3,000 or so demonic ancestors were unwilling to provoke the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The 18 demonic sects had no choice but to place their sights on the entire cultivation world instead. The demonic sects rapidly expanded and rose in power, seemingly wanting to suppress the entire cultivation world.

Fortunately, some of the powerhouses from the Buddhist and Daoist sects woke up one after another. Like the demonic sects, they revealed their own presences in this brand-new era.

In the cultivation world, heroes vied for supremacy.

One after another, countless powerhouses woke up.

The world drastically changed.

For a time, in the various large sects that were located in various famous mountains and great rivers, their sects’ mountain gates were filled to the brim with people who wanted to enter their sects and learn from them.

The popularity of these large sects also accelerated the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy.

Lin Jiufeng’s action of releasing more than 3,000 powerful demons into the world back then was truly the catalyst that caused such rapid advancement that seemingly had no end.

In the 18 Demon Sects, there was a sect called the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect.

They were one of the 18 sects that haven’t revealed the true extent of their strength just yet.

They were powerful, but they weren’t that famous.

The Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect recruited a few demons from the batch of demons that Lin Jiufeng had released. Using every means possible, they enticed the demons to affiliate themselves with them to bolster the strength of their sect.

After five years, these few demons managed to recover a great portion of their strength.

Each of them was already at the Supremacy Realm.

“Hahaha… Five years! Five whole years! I’ve finally returned to the Supremacy Realm.”

A giant bat demon hung upside down and laughed.

He cackled, obviously unable to hide his excitement.

After five years of non-stop absorption of the world’s spiritual energy day and night, he finally made his return to the Supremacy Realm.

His laughter shook the nearby mountains and rivers.

Even the people from the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect were alarmed.

But they were all overjoyed upon hearing his words.

Another Demon Lord made a breakthrough into the Supremacy realm.

“Old Bat, why are you so excited about making a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm?” A shriveled old man walked over with a walking stick, his face was filled with displeasure.

“Old Blood Demon, don’t you know how we’ve spent the past five years?” The huge bat’s body shrank and he transformed into his human form.

He became a short man with deep eye sockets and dark skin. He was nothing short of ugly.

“Of course, I know!”

“For the past five years, I didn’t even dare to leave the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect. Even if I wanted to suck some blood, I had to do it secretly…”

“I was afraid that I would accumulate too much blood and resentment in my hands to the point that someone from the imperial capital would notice.” Blood Demon gnashed his teeth.

“Five years! Five whole years! I starved for five whole years! My body is already so thin from hunger after enduring for so long!”

Blood Demon pointed at his own body, he was resentful of his fate.

He was a Blood Demon. Of course, he loved blood more than any delicacy in this world—especially blood from young and beautiful women or from the young people who had yet to lose their Yang energy.

Their blood was simply the greatest delicacy for him.

But because of Lin Jiufeng…

He didn’t dare to go out and hunt for food for five whole years.

“I keep having this feeling that once I go out to look for food, he will find out what I am doing…”

“This feeling is simply so scary…”

“My heart’s palpitating so much that I don’t even dare to go out.”

Blood Demon gnashed his teeth.

“Old Blood Demon, since you hate him that much, and I also hate him to death, do you dare to do something big?” The Bat Demon said with a vicious look.

“I don’t dare!” But the old Blood Demon rejected the bat.

Directly and succinct, without the slightest hesitation.

The Bat Demon was rendered speechless as he looked at the old Blood Demon.
