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

Chapter 43: Innate Soul Refining Technique

After breaking through to the Human God Realm, Lin Jiufeng realized that a Human God was just someone standing at a different summit than the others.

The lowest lifespan of a Human God was 800 years.

Lin Jiufeng had enough time up his sleeves.

Now that the buddhist sects of the Jiangnan Province had submitted and obeyed the imperial decree, the next three months would be the assimilation of those who believe in Buddhism and the annexation of their territories and assets.

The gilded Buddha statues, the occupied lands, the high-quality fields, and the millions of laborers would greatly strengthen the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Lin Tianyuan would certainly be occupied handling all of these.

After the two paintings appeared in Jiangnan Province, the world became quiet.

At first, with the appearance of the rain that strengthened every cultivator’s strength, Martial Sages became abundant throughout the land. Thus, the Yuhua God Dynasty’s threat in the eyes of its enemies had diminished.

If nothing had happened, its enemies would inevitably reappear and cause chaos in the entire Yuhua God Dynasty.

Furthermore, the Yuhua God Dynasty certainly didn’t have the ability to deal with a catastrophe of this scale.

But all of a sudden, a Human God appeared and suppressed the buddhist sects along with the entire world.

The Human God’s appearance alleviated the great danger that the Yuhua God Dynasty was facing and also gave them a lot of time in respite.

This was the last thing that Lin Jiufeng did for Lin Tianyuan.

He gave Lin Tianyuan enough time to accumulate and consolidate the strength of the Empire for it to maintain its dignity in this brand new world.

Of course, Lin Jiufeng was also ultimately preventing the destruction of the recently established reforms.

Therefore, Lin Tianyuan was very busy.

Lin Jiufeng was also occupied.

He was busy with his cultivation after having made his breakthrough. After entering the Human God Realm, his cultivation was no longer simply Qi Cultivation, Qi absorption, Qi accumulation, and opening up new meridians.

If he wanted to advance in his current realm, he had to cultivate his Divine Soul, observe the world’s Forces, and comprehend the principles of the world itself.

With these conditions, the difficulty of his cultivation had understandably increased.

Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng could cultivate in silence. Thus, there was no need for him to worry.

After all, no one was here to disturb him.

While the world was still in a heated discussion over the appearance of a Human God.

Lin Jiufeng had already begun the next steps in his cultivation.

Lin Jiufeng could perfectly inherit both aspects of progressing steadily and improving quickly.

He was capable of both stable progression and speedy advancement. But he planned on consolidating his cultivation for a while and accumulating enough experience so that he could advance by leaps and bounds at once.

Lin Jiufeng couldn’t hear the rumors from the outside world.

Hence, he signed in quietly in the Cold Palace.

His only companion was the white cat.

On this day, Lin Jiufeng asked the white cat. “You followed the Demon Lord last time, so how much do you know about the Human God Realm?”

The white cat used its small white paws to write. “I heard from the Demon Lord that there are many obstacles in the Human God Realm.”

“It seems to be called something like Serene, Immortal Treasury, Ultimate Man, or something like that.” The white cat’s writing was all over the place.

Its memory seemed to be blurry as it kept erasing some words and changing them into something else.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head, speechless.

In the end, he chose to leave the Cold Palace for the royal library.

Here, he could check relevant documents concerning the Human God Realm.

The white cat also came along.

It was also very curious. What obstacles were there in the Human God Realm?

Upon arriving, Lin Jiufeng swaggered into the heavily guarded library. No one discovered him.

A few years ago on his last visit to the royal library, no one noticed Lin Jiufeng’s visit.

It was even more impossible for someone to notice him by now.

The library was huge and there were records from different periods and epochs.

Lin Jiufeng had previously investigated the demonic sects.

This time, he looked for the records related to Daoist schools.

In terms of research on the Divine Soul, Daoist schools were superior. As a result, Lin Jiufeng naturally wanted to use their literature as his reference.

A line of words appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng when he stepped into the area where records related to Daoist schools were being kept and preserved.

[Do you want to Sign-in before the Daoist Library?]

“Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng agreed.

[Sign-In successful. Received the Innate Soul Refining Technique!]

Waves of memories entered Lin Jiufeng’s sea of consciousness.

He was used to it by now, so he could maintain his calm.

A peculiar book appeared.

The obscurity of the words contained within would probably cause the minds of ordinary people to spin in confusion. But the waves of memories that Lin Jiufeng had just received gave him enough knowledge—he had no problems in understanding the material he was holding.

“This is a cultivation technique that cultivates the soul. It suits me perfectly.”

Lin Jiufeng nodded in satisfaction.

Meow!

The white cat appeared beside Lin Jiufeng. It called out softly.

It couldn’t understand why Lin Jiufeng was in a daze.

Lin Jiufeng woke up from his trance, but he didn’t say anything.

He smiled gently at the white cat before proceeding inside the area for literature related to Daoist schools.

The place was packed with Daoism-related books.

After 400 years, every Daoist book out there might not be in the Yuhua God Dynasty’s royal library, however, most of them could be found here.

The remaining 10 to 20 percent of precious Daoist books and scriptures were kept hidden by the Daoist sects. The Yuhua God Dynasty couldn’t possibly obtain them.

However, this was enough for Lin Jiufeng to see.

He set aside the Innate Soul Refining Technique and focused on reading the Daoist books.

The books recorded many things about the Human God Realm.

There were also things that the white cat had said—such as Serene, Immortal Treasury, Ultimate Man, and so on.

Lin Jiufeng finally understood.

The term ‘Human God’ was a general name, just like ‘Martial Sage’.

The Martial Sage Realm was divided into Profound Insight, Life Knowing, Fish Leap, and Great Sage.

The Human God Realm was divided into Serene, Immortal Treasury, Ultimate, and Nirvana.

Lin Jiufeng was now at the Serene Stage. It was no longer a step, but a stage.

Serene was an adjective.

It was like a secret chamber, pitch-black like ink, extremely quiet.

A Human God had given birth to the Divine Soul that remained locked in this secret chamber, unable to break free.

The Divine Soul existed all alone in this dark place.

To make a breakthrough into the next stage of the Human God Realm—one must allow their Divine Soul to escape from this secret chamber so that it could see the world.

The white cat was also reading the records.

It suddenly started to have hopes for its own future.

Perhaps if it cultivated seriously, would it also be able to make its own breakthrough?

If it worked harder and managed to surpass Lin Jiufeng, how satisfying would it be?

At the thought of this, the white cat’s eyes curved into a smile. It looked very cute.

Lin Jiufeng turned around and looked at the expression on the white cat’s face.

His face was completely devoid of emotions.

When the white cat opened its eyes and saw Lin Jiufeng’s expressionless face, it immediately restrained itself and hurriedly wrote. “Continue reading.”

Shaking his head, Lin Jiufeng replied, “I don’t know what you’re so happy about every day.”

“Could it be that a silly cat also has its silly fortune?” Lin Jiufeng muttered in confusion.

The white cat was angered.

Even its claws came out as it raised its paw and gestured at Lin Jiufeng’s face.

However, it was still worried that its claws wouldn’t be able to cut through Lin Jiufeng’s skin. In addition, it would be even more embarrassing if it ended up getting injured even though it was the one who attacked.

As a result, it retracted its claws.

After reading every Daoist book in this area of the royal library, Lin Jiufeng learned a lot about the Human God Realm.

“We cultivators still have a long way to go.”

Lin Jiufeng sighed with emotion before turning around and leaving the royal library.

After returning to the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng laid on the frost jade bed and pondered silently.

Although the frost jade bed was of no help to him anymore, Lin Jiufeng still preferred to lie on it.

Because it was cool and comfortable.

It was for pure comfort and enjoyment.

Even the white cat was enamored with it after it had accidentally discovered its magical effect.

Now, when it had nothing to do, it would come up to rest on it too. Curling up into a ball, it became a tiny little fellow that didn’t occupy a lot of space.

Facing the same direction as Lin Jiufeng, it even slept together with him.

This time, it also curled up on the bed and looked at Lin Jiufeng.

Then, it closed its eyes and worked hard in its cultivation so that it could suppress Lin Jiufeng under its claws as soon as possible.

“Let’s try using this Innate Soul Refining Technique.”

Soon enough, Lin Jiufeng also closed his eyes.
