Chapter 293: The Story of the Celestial Realm

The little white cat who had been waiting for a long time really succeeded in transforming into a human form. A young girl who seemed to have walked out of a fairytale smiled innocently and held Lin Jiufeng’s hand, smiling sweetly.

This was the cat-eared girl that Lin Jiufeng had waited for 100 years.

But before he could be happy for long, a loud bang shook the world. Accompanied by a huge sound, it was like a thunderclap that shook the world.

Lin Jiufeng and the little white cat looked at each other in surprise.

“What’s this?” The little white cat held Lin Jiufeng’s wrist tightly and asked.

“I don’t know. Let’s go out and take a look.” Although Lin Jiufeng was surprised, he didn’t panic. He and the little white cat came to the surface from the depths of the earth.

Standing on the surface, Lin Jiufeng saw that at the edge of the world, a new world appeared, like a mirage, reflecting in the sky.

What connected the two worlds was a broad road.

“That’s the Immortal Road?” The little white cat leaned against Lin Jiufeng and asked in surprise.

“I think so. That’s the Immortal Road.” Lin Jiufeng’s expression was solemn. At this moment, he saw many things, such as the huge world at the end of the Immortal Path and the people who walked out of that world.

That’s right, a person walked out of the Immortal Road.

Under the gaze of countless people in this world, he hovered high in the sky and stood on the immortal path like a god. He announced coldly, “An immortal has appeared in this world again. Hurry up and enter the Immortal Road. Immortals are no longer allowed to stay in this world.”

This person had a plump face and a profound aura. He wasn’t simple at all.

But his words made Lin Jiufeng and the little white cat frown at the same time.

“He wants me to go to the Immortal Road?” The little white cat’s embroidered brows frowned slightly. Her eyes were unhappy. She had only transformed with great difficulty just to stay with Lin Jiufeng forever. How could she enter the Immortal Road?

Lin Jiufeng frowned and said, “I should have guessed long ago that this strange world should belong to the Immortal Court.”

“Immortal Court?” The little white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng, puzzled.

“Before the Myriad Races, there was the God Race, and the one who opposed the God Race was the Immortal Court. I know this information, but I’ve never been able to find the Immortal Court. There’s no Immortal Court in this world either, so I’m very puzzled. I never expected that the Immortal Court would be in another world, a world that’s above our world. It’s hidden really well.” Lin Jiufeng explained to the little white cat.

“The Immortal Court should just manage their own affairs well. Why are they bothering about me? I’m not going to the Immortal Road. I’ve worked so hard to transform because I want to accompany you and be your wife. I don’t want to go to some bullshit Immortal Court,” the white cat said without hesitation.

Lin Jiufeng said firmly, “Don’t worry, I’ve waited for you for 100 years. With me around, no one can take you away.”

The two of them stood hand in hand in the ruins of the Primordial God Mountain as they looked at the Immortal Road and the person on it.

He was a true immortal just like the little white cat.

After he finished speaking, he waited silently. But no one came.

Soon, he opened his eyes and looked straight at the area where Lin Jiufeng and the little white cat were.

“Immortals aren’t allowed to exist in this abandoned world. Those who have become immortals must enter the Celestial Realm. Hurry up and come?” This person frowned and scolded.

His voice was like a tsunami, causing huge waves in the world. It was deafening, and everyone heard it.

The white cat took a deep breath. Her plump chest rose as she replied, “I won’t enter the Celestial Realm. There are people in the mortal realm that I cherish, and the mortal realm is also very interesting. I don’t want to enter the Celestial Realm. You can go back yourself.”

The little white cat was an immortal, the only immortal in the world. When she opened her mouth, her feminine voice spread throughout the world.

The person on the Immortal Road heard it.

He sneered and said with faint disdain, “Do you think you can make the decision?”

“Immortals are not allowed in this abandoned world. If you don’t enter the Celestial Realm, I will make sure that there are no more immortals in this world.”

“Becoming an immortal in the mortal realm isn’t a good thing. Instead, it will become a reason for your death.”

The person standing on the Immortal Road spoke coldly. His attitude was tough. If she didn’t enter the immortal realms, he would kill her.

He slowly descended from the Celestial Realm and into the mortal realm. He spread his arms, his clothes fluttered, and his aura surged. The Great Dao accompanied him, his aura was glorious, and the phenomena constantly erupted.

Under the gaze of the world, he landed in the area of the Primordial God Mountain. He hovered in the air and looked coldly at the little white cat and Lin Jiufeng.

The moment the immortal path opened, he locked onto Lin Jiufeng and the little white cat.

It was mainly because he had locked onto the little white cat. Lin Jiufeng hadn’t become an immortal, so this wasn’t his target.

“Let me introduce myself. Celestial Realm, Zhou Qing!” The cold-faced man introduced himself.

“Bai Mao’er[1],” the white cat said coldly.

Before she transformed, she had no name. She had always been Lin Jiufeng’s little white cat. After she transformed, she gave herself a name.

Bai Mao’er!

This was her name now. With Bai as her surname and the Mao’er as her name, she represented herself and also represented that she treasured Lin Jiufeng’s address of her.

During the past 100 years, Lin Jiufeng had always called her ‘little white cat’. She didn’t want to change this.

Zhou Qing looked at Lin Jiufeng from above. With a cold gaze, he said, “You don’t want to enter the Celestial Realm because of this person?”

Bai Mao’er nodded and said, “I’m his wife, we won’t be separated, so please go back.”

“Since I’m already here, there’s no reason for me to go back. Seeing that you’re a female immortal, I’ll allow you to bring him into the Celestial Realm. In any case, he’s already on the verge of breaking through. It won’t be long before he ascends to become an immortal too. When the time comes, he will also be entering the Celestial Realm.” Zhou Qing stood in the air and looked at Bai Mao’er as he said.

Lin Jiufeng narrowed his eyes. A man’s intuition told him that Zhou Qing had other thoughts about Bai Mao’er.

Was this person coveting Bai Mao’er’s beauty?

Or was he coveting her cultivation base?

Hence the reason for these high-sounding words.

Of course, these were all his guesses. But with a man’s understanding of men, Lin Jiufeng felt that he wasn’t wrong.

When Bai Mao’er heard Zhou Qing’s words, she didn’t agree. Instead, she looked at Lin Jiufeng, letting him handle this matter.

Lin Jiufeng asked calmly, “Why can’t there be immortals in the mortal realm?”

An impatient expression appeared on Zhou Qing’s face as he said coldly, “This was decided by the Celestial Realm, how would I know? In any case, every time someone reaches the Immortal Realm in the mortal realm, they either enter the Celestial Realm or die.”

“What’s in the Celestial Realm? We’ve lived in the mortal realm for very long, but we don’t know anything about the Celestial Realm.” Lin Jiufeng asked calmly.

“The Celestial Realm is a vast world. Entering the Celestial Realm represents eternal life.” Zhou Qing was very impatient, but in order to leave a good impression in front of Bai Mao’er, he still explained.

“Immortality…” Lin Jiufeng smiled and said, “Immortality has always been everyone’s pursuit. Now, you are telling me that one can become immortal just by entering the Celestial Realm. Since it’s so easy to obtain, what’s the price?”

Zhou Qing frowned and scolded impatiently, “You are just a mortal realm cultivator, you should already be grateful you can enter the Celestial Realm. Why are you asking so many questions?”

Lin Jiufeng looked at him and said with a relaxed smile, “I’m just asking you a few questions, yet you are already so anxious. Which fellow from the Celestial Realm used his butt to make the decision in letting you be the guide to the Celestial Realm?”

Zhou Qing’s face turned cold. He said coldly, “You, a False Immortal, also dare to discuss the matters of the Celestial Realm?”

“Now that I’ve mentioned the center of the matter, you’ve become angry out of humiliation. I might as well make another guess. The immortality in the Celestial Realm must be very tragic. After all, the immortality that countless people dream of can be obtained by entering the Celestial Realm. Then, can I guess that after entering the Celestial Realm, you won’t be you anymore? Everything about you will be controlled by the Celestial Realm?”

“The so-called immortality is actually just a lie?”

“Is that right?”

Lin Jiufeng looked at Zhou Qing with a smile.

Zhou Qing first looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise. Then, he frowned and scolded, “You are just a person who hasn’t entered the Celestial Realm, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“If it weren’t for Miss Bai Mao’er, I would definitely kill you!” Zhou Qing’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

Bai Mao’er watched from the side with a solemn expression. She wanted to protect Lin Jiufeng but was rejected by him.

Lin Jiufeng slowly floated in the air. He looked at Zhou Qing and said, “I only said some real words, yet you can’t take it. Your mentality still needs to be strengthened.”

Zhou Qing’s expression was dark as he stared at Lin Jiufeng. His aura was surging like waves. The terrifying Great Dao of an immortal invisibly imprisoned Lin Jiufeng.

But Lin Jiufeng didn’t feel anything about this at all. He treated it calmly.

He was like a small boat in the turbulent sea. No matter how strong the waves were, he would just flow with the waves and persevere. He wouldn’t capsize.

“Since you are so angry, it means that I’m right. The Celestial Realm is definitely not like what you said, and this Immortal Road isn’t that simple.” Lin Jiufeng smiled slightly.

Zhou Qing looked at Lin Jiufeng’s smile and felt that it was blinding. After thousands of years, he had once again descended to the mortal realm. He thought that he could display his might, but who would have thought that he would encounter Lin Jiufeng?

This person had an extremely annoying smile and eyes that could see through everything.

“Do you want to kill me?” Lin Jiufeng asked softly.

“It seems that you aren’t stupid,” Zhou Qing said through gritted teeth.

“Before you kill me, can you answer another question of mine? If you do, I will die a worthy death,” Lin Jiufeng said sincerely.

Zhou Qing sneered, “You’re really a lunatic. You’re coming to me and seeking death. Even Bai Mao’er can’t save you now.”

“It doesn’t matter if I die. Before killing me, please tell me, do you know Elder Universe?” Lin Jiufeng waved his hand indifferently and then asked.

After asking this question, Lin Jiufeng stared at Zhou Qing without blinking.

Zhou Qing was originally smiling coldly, full of killing intent, and full of confidence. But in the very next moment, after Lin Jiufeng asked this question, his expression changed drastically. He flew into a rage, and his aura erupted like a volcano as he stared at Lin Jiufeng.

Rumble!

The terrifying aura of an immortal swept in all directions. Zhou Qing’s terrifying power surged fearlessly and surrounded Lin Jiufeng.

“What did you say?”

“How do you know about Elder Universe?”

“This person has long died.”

“You are the successor of Elder Universe?”

Zhou Qing was enraged. His aura was surging as he asked in succession. He no longer concealed himself. In front of the little white cat, he reached out his hand, wanting to grab Lin Jiufeng’s neck.

At this distance, even the little white cat couldn’t save Lin Jiufeng. She could only scream.

Boom!

The little white cat’s immortal aura rushed up. She looked anxious, wanting to save Lin Jiufeng.

Meanwhile, Lin Jiufeng’s expression was determined. His gaze was sharp, and his entire body was glowing. Every pore of his body was emitting a battle aura, and a deep sea-like aura surged out, making him look like a god.

Zhou Qing’s large hand grabbed over, but Lin Jiufeng directly raised his leg and kicked him away.

Boom!

Immortal Zhou Qing thought that he would definitely defeat Lin Jiufeng, but he didn’t expect Lin Jiufeng’s kick to be so fast that he couldn’t react at all. Moreover, this force made his eyes widen in disbelief. It was as if he had collided with Mount Buzhou[2]. His vital energy and blood reversed, and he directly rolled in the air.

“Impossible…”

Zhou Qing tried his best to stabilize his body. He looked at Lin Jiufeng in horror and covered his chest. There was a clear footprint in that place that Lin Jiufeng had just kicked out.

“How could this be?”

Zhou Qing had no idea.

He was dumbfounded.

He looked at Lin Jiufeng. Lin Jiufeng wasn’t an immortal.

He looked at himself. It had been thousands of years since he entered the Immortal Realm.

Although his improvement in recent years wasn’t that great, he was still a veteran immortal.

But this kick?

Zhou Qing felt a terrifying force that made his abdomen ache.

The current False Immortals of the mortal realm were this powerful?

“Why do you have such a terrifying power?” Zhou Qing’s eyes widened in fury as he stood in the air.

“Do you really think that you are very powerful?”

“Do you really think that I’m very weak?”

“You keep saying that the mortal realm has been abandoned, but I grew up in this world.”

“Also, is the Celestial Realm that you are talking about the Immortal Court from back then? The Immortal Court was destroyed by Elder Universe, right?”

Lin Jiufeng’s smile disappeared. He said mockingly with a trace of contempt on his face.

He was showing disdain to an immortal!

Lin Jiufeng had already sensed that something was amiss when the Immortal Road just appeared.

The place where immortals lived actually had such an ordinary aura?

The auras displayed by the Immortal Road and the Celestial Realm were very terrifying in the eyes of the people of the world.

But in Lin Jiufeng’s perception, it was very ordinary.

Lin Jiufeng felt that if he really attacked with his full strength, he wouldn’t be much weaker than this immortal.

In fact, his strength might even surpass this immortal.

Hence, what he said previously was all to fool this immortal.

Now, he had already figured out that the so-called Celestial Realm, the so-called Immortal Road, and the so-called abandoned world were actually the Immortal Court that competed with the God Race back then.

Later on, the Immortal Court was destroyed by Elder Universe. Lin Jiufeng learned of this matter in the Undying Mountain.

He had revealed this information because he wanted to test Zhou Qing. Sure enough, Zhou Qing flew into a rage and anxiously asked Lin Jiufeng if he was the successor of the Elder Universe.

All of this was self-evident. The Celestial Realm wasn’t as good as Zhou Qing had said.

This was just a place established by the remaining troops of the Immortal Court. Once Lin Jiufeng and the little white cat believed in Zhou Qing’s nonsense and entered the Celestial Realm, they would be meat on a chopping board that would be at the mercy of others.

Zhou Qing looked at Lin Jiufeng in shock and anger. He didn’t expect Lin Jiufeng to mention the past of the Celestial Realm so easily. He attacked in fury and raised his hand to strike. The Great Dao appeared in his palm. This surrounding space was like a cage, wanting to imprison the ferocious beast, Lin Jiufeng.

Drawing a Cage in Space!

This was an immortal technique. Together with the Great Dao of the world, it suppressed down, wanting to teach Lin Jiufeng a deep lesson.

Immortals mustn’t be humiliated!

Boom!

This strike was extremely terrifying. When it landed, the mountains and rivers shook.

The aura and attacks of a true immortal were more terrifying than those of False Immortals.

At this moment, the bones in Lin Jiufeng’s body crackled non-stop. He was indeed under pressure, but he turned his head and said expressionlessly, “I haven’t fought in the past six years. No one knows how powerful I am. Even I don’t know.”

“Today, I will defeat a Perfected Immortal with the realm of a False Immortal!”

Lin Jiufeng shouted. With a bang, the golden blood energy in his body was like a vast sea, surging over in all directions, suppressing people to the point that they were about to suffocate. It directly broke the picturesque prison and punched out.

Boom!

This strike was extremely terrifying. Lin Jiufeng directly brandished his fist. There were no fancy moves anymore, it was simple and direct.

In an instant, a blinding light tore through the sky, dissipating Zhou Qing’s immortal aura and shocking the world.

Countless people were watching. The top powerhouses were shocked when they saw Great Emperor Jiufeng, who had disappeared for six years, reappear and defeat an immortal with a raise of his hand.

Countless people sighed in their hearts.

They thought that after six years, they would be able to catch up to Great Emperor Jiufeng’s pace. But from the looks of it, they had climbed to the mountain where Great Emperor Jiufeng had once stood, only to discover that he had already gone to another mountain.

At this moment, every wisp of aura that seeped out of Lin Jiufeng’s body wasn’t weaker than that of Immortal Zhou Qing. Naturally, it made people feel the pressure of a tall and great mountain.

The various powerhouses were really convinced of Great Emperor Jiufeng in their hearts.

At the same time, they were also very surprised by this immortal who had suddenly appeared. This was the first time they had heard of the Immortal Road and the Celestial Realm.

Lin Jiufeng’s attack made Zhou Qing furious and embarrassed.

He was an immortal.

He represented the Celestial Realm, the once invincible Immortal Court.

“You’re seeking death. Immortals are not people that you can deal with.” Zhou Qing was enraged. He raised his hand and struck. A huge earthen-yellow hand with a radius of more than 30,000 feet pressed down with a shocking might.

The huge hand collided with Lin Jiufeng’s fist. With a bang, it was directly smashed into pieces by Lin Jiufeng. His expression was cold. The vital energy and blood in his body shone with resplendent golden light. He punched out one punch after another, each punch striking the sky. The ascending to an immortal in the secular world that he had comprehended for six years finally displayed a huge might at this moment.

The golden fist was invincible. It shattered Zhou Qing’s huge hand. Its powerful edge even struck out the aura of chaos. The light was blinding and the aura was surging. It was so dazzling that people couldn’t even see clearly.

When everything calmed down, when the divine fog dissipated, when the earth-yellow light and the resplendent golden blood energy retreated, the light of the world scattered down.

People were shocked to discover something.

Tick, tick, tick.

It was raining.

It wasn’t just a small area, but that the entire world was starting to rain.

It was drizzling at first, followed by a gentle breeze and light rain, then a violent wind and heavy rain.

In the heavy rain, Lin Jiufeng stood in the air. His chest was straight, his face domineering, and his clothes fluttered. Opposite him, the immortal, Zhou Qing, had a swollen face and was beaten into a very sorry state.

“Immortal? You’re nothing much!” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.

Zhou Qing glared at Lin Jiufeng. His heart was in a mess. He never expected that after tens of thousands of years, when he returned to the mortal realm, this would be the situation he would be in.

He was being chased and beaten up by a ninth stage False Immortal.

“You’ve really angered me. Immortals cannot be humiliated, nor can immortals be bullied. You’re seeking death.” Zhou Qing’s expression was gloomy. A huge mountain appeared behind him. This mountain was very thick and had Dao runes falling down. It was very terrifying.

“This is my Immortal Dao. Today, I will definitely kill you!” Zhou Qing roared. He was using all his strength now, he wanted to kill Lin Jiufeng.

The battle between the two had already shocked the world. Everyone knew that Great Emperor Jiufeng was fighting a true immortal.

This was an unprecedented battle.

But that was only what the people of the world thought.

In Lin Jiufeng’s eyes, this opponent wasn’t much.

He looked at the Great Dao Mountain behind Zhou Qing and sneered, “Do you think you are the only one who has it?”

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A Great Dao Mountain also appeared behind Lin Jiufeng, but it wasn’t just one. It was a mountain range with 100,000 mountains.

Yes, 100,000 Mountains!

This change shook the world. Zhou Qing broke down on the spot. He shouted and shook his head frantically, “This is impossible. How can there be such a terrifying person in this world? You actually have 100,000 mountains? I’ve never seen anyone with so many Great Dao Mountains.”

“Since you’ve never seen it before, I’ll let you have an eye-opener today,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly. He clenched his left hand into a fist and then punched out. A terrifying phenomenon instantly appeared.

Great Dao Descending into the Mortal Realm!

This move directly combined with Lin Jiufeng’s Great Dao Mountain. Its might was torrential and instantly erupted, causing Zhou Qing’s body to explode.

Boom!

His body really exploded in an instant, turning into a large ball of blood fog.

AHHHHH!

Zhou Qing screamed. It took him all his strength to return to reality from the brink of death. He was drenched in sweat, and his face was pale.

In the very next moment, his body went soft. He swallowed continuously and stared at the scene in front of him.

Lin Jiufeng’s fist was right in front of him.

As long as it landed, he would definitely die.

He, an immortal, would die!

Behind Lin Jiufeng, a sea appeared. In the sea, there were 100,000 mountains. That was Lin Jiufeng’s Great Dao Mountain. In the sky above the 100,000 mountains, a round moon appeared.

Sea Rising Bright Moon!

Zhou Qing gasped for breath as he cried out, “You… You… You actually entered the Immortal Realm?”

“Is it very difficult?” Lin Jiufeng asked as he looked at Zhou Qing aggressively.

Zhou Qing looked at Lin Jiufeng bitterly. His arrogance, his proudness, and everything about him had been shattered by Lin Jiufeng.

“You are so powerful, how could you be born in this era?” Zhou Qing asked bitterly.

“What do you mean?” Lin Jiufeng asked coldly.

“The meaning is literally what the words mean. Let me go and I will tell you the information.” Zhou Qing wanted to bargain with Lin Jiufeng.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng was too lazy to respond. He directly threw a punch at Zhou Qing’s face.

Boom!

Zhou Qing exploded again. He couldn’t revive this time.

But Lin Jiufeng flipped his hand.

See Immortality in the Cycle of Reincarnation!

Lin Jiufeng reversed the cycle of reincarnation and saved Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing seemed to have been fished out of water. He was drenched in sweat.

Although it was raining, the rain wouldn’t be able to land on an immortal. Zhou Qing looked at Lin Jiufeng weakly in horror.

“Answer what I ask you. Say one more extra word and I will directly beat you into parts. I won’t save you anymore,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly. He was too lazy to talk nonsense. He wasn’t interested in haggling with Zhou Qing.

“I will definitely tell you everything I know.” Zhou Qing had no strength in his body left at all. He was scared stiff by Lin Jiufeng.

Immortals were also afraid of death.

“Answer the previous question,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.

“This era is an era where cultivation is weak. Cultivation has become difficult in this era. Even if there is a recovery of spiritual energy, it will only be for a few hundred years. Then, it will gradually disappear and return to the era of weak cultivation. It’s impossible for the people of this era to have someone as powerful as you,” Zhou Qing replied.

“How was this era formed?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

He brought Zhou Qing down from the sky and threw him onto a huge rock. He calmly looked at him as he wiped his wrist. His attitude was cold.

“It’s because the Immortal Court fought with the God Race and destroyed the foundation of the world that resulted in this situation,” Zhou Qing said.

“Be more specific. After the spiritual energy disappeared, where did the huge amount of spiritual energy go?” Lin Jiufeng asked. He wasn’t satisfied with Zhou Qing’s answer just now.

Previously, Lin Jiufeng thought that the spiritual energy had been absorbed by the forgotten worlds.

But now, with the improvement of his cultivation base, Lin Jiufeng realized that the recovery of the spiritual energy in the world was too huge for these forgotten worlds to contain.

Since the spiritual energy was recovering, dissipating, and circulating continuously, that meant that it didn’t dissipate, but it went to another place.

Where was this place?

Lin Jiufeng looked at Zhou Qing indifferently.

It was this indifferent gaze that scared Zhou Qing.

“Do you see that Immortal Road in the Celestial Realm?” Zhou Qing pointed at the Immortal Road in the sky.

Lin Jiufeng nodded.

“This Immortal Road is to absorb the spiritual energy in this world and transfer it to the Celestial Realm to ensure that the Celestial Realm can continue to exist,” Zhou Qing said.

“How did the Celestial Realm form?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“The Celestial Realm was separated from this world by the remaining old and young of the Immortal Court back then after the war,” Zhou Qing replied.

Lin Jiufeng sneered. “I guessed it too. Continue.”

“When it was stripped away back then, I was recruited by the Celestial Realm and became one of them. Over the years, I’ve only entered the mortal realm twice. The first time, I was beaten half to death by someone. The second time, I was almost beaten to death by you,” Zhou Qing said bitterly, wanting to cry.

“When was the first time?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“About 10,000 years ago. At that time, a terrifying person appeared. I was lucky enough to escape with my life. I didn’t expect to fall into your hands this time,” Zhou Qing sighed and said.

The little white cat watched from the side and couldn’t help but laugh. She suddenly remembered the arrogant and domineering Zhou Qing before they started fighting. The current Zhou Qing was weak, pitiful, and helpless.

He was like the saying of pretending to be the greatest but receiving the most vicious beatings.

“Who is that person?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows and asked curiously.

“I don’t know his name, but he has a title called… the King of Recovery!” Zhou Qing said.

Lin Jiufeng’s eyes narrowed. This was beyond his expectations.

The King of Recovery from 10,000 years ago. Lin Jiufeng had come into contact with him before.

Among the seven supreme powerhouses, one of them was called the King of Recovery.

Lin Jiufeng still remembered what he said.

(I came from the dusty era, shattering the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, overturning the Immortal Court, and rebuilding the mountains and rivers!)

To Lin Jiufeng’s surprise, the King of Recovery beat up Zhou Qing just like him.

“Do you know where the King of Recovery went?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“How would I know? No one would know where a terrifying genius like him went.” Zhou Qing shook his head.

“Has the King of Recovery overturned the Immortal Court?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Wasn’t the Immortal Court already destroyed in the war with the God Race back then?” Zhou Qing asked curiously.

Lin Jiufeng used the Eye of Origin to check him and confirmed that he wasn’t lying.

It seemed that he didn’t know about the King of Recovery.

Since the King of Recovery said that he would overturn the Immortal Court, Lin Jiufeng believed him.

Because there was no need for him to lie about this matter.

‘It seems that Zhou Qing is just a small fry in the Celestial Realm. There are many things that he doesn’t know.’ Lin Jiufeng thought to himself.

He looked at Zhou Qing and changed the subject. “Tell me, what’s the situation in the current Celestial Realm?”

“The current Celestial Realm is filled with the old and young of the former Immortal Court. In addition, the immortals that they have recruited over the years have formed a small Immortal Court that has always been trying to restore the glory of the Immortal Court back then,” Zhou Qing replied.

“So when you say that immortals must enter the Immortal Court, it was a lie?” The little white cat asked.

“It’s indeed a lie. The goal is to deceive some immortals into entering the Celestial Realm.” Zhou Qing nodded awkwardly.

“What’s the use of this?” Lin Jiufeng didn’t understand the meaning of this.

“The interior of the Celestial Realm has been trying to repair a problem,” Zhou Qing said.

Lin Jiufeng and the white cat listened silently.

“Back then, although a lot of the old and young members of the Immortal Court separated a lot of source energy from this main world and built a Celestial Realm to live in, they lacked some of the most important things—living creatures.”

“In the Celestial Realm, no new life can be born. Over the years, there hasn’t been a single newborn child in the Celestial Realm. The group of descendants from the Immortal Court have gone crazy from anxiety.”

“That’s why they let me deceive the immortals of this world.”

Zhou Qing explained.

“Can’t you just bring ordinary people in to solve this problem?” Lin Jiufeng asked, puzzled.

“That’s a good question. I don’t know either. They told me that anyone who enters the Celestial Realm must be an immortal. Either that or they are like you, who can become an immortal at any time. Others aren’t allowed to enter the Celestial Realm,” Zhou Qing said helplessly.

“Why is there such a strange rule?” The white cat asked curiously.

“I don’t know about that, but sometimes, when we discuss in private, we all say that those descendants of the former Immortal Court are afraid of this mortal realm,” Zhou Qing said softly.

“Afraid of this mortal realm?” Lin Jiufeng frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Literally. Those seniors and young members of the former Immortal Court once entered the mortal realm with me, but for some reason, they fled in a hurry. After returning to the Celestial Realm, they don’t dare to step into the mortal realm till now. They only sent us subordinates to deceive others into entering and expanding the Celestial Realm,” Zhou Qing said.

“How many people are there in the Celestial Realm now?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Over the years, we have also deceived many immortals into entering. But including the old and young of the Immortal Court, there are only 3,000 immortals or so,” Zhou Qing said.

“3,000 immortals…” The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng in surprise.

“They are just weaklings that can be easily killed. If they are all like him, they can be exterminated with a flick of the finger,” Lin Jiufeng pointed at Zhou Qing and said disdainfully.

Zhou Qing nodded, indicating that Lin Jiufeng was right. “About a thousand immortals in the Celestial Realm are the same as me, they are about my strength. But the truly powerful ones are those old and young of the former Immortal Court. They are the people who truly gained the inheritance of the former Immortal Court.”

“Since that’s the case, can you still return now that you failed?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“I can go back. I’ll just receive a scolding, that’s all. I’m used to it,” Zhou Qing said helplessly.

“What leverage do they have against you?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“After entering the Celestial Realm, just as you guessed previously, life and death are no longer in my own control. They have a treasure of the former Immortal Court that can give birth to spiritual liquid that can keep the immortals at their peak without dying. But the problem is that as long as you consume it once, you will be addicted and can’t quit. If you don’t consume it for a period of time, you will age faster and be devoured of all the energy and Primordial Spirit. Therefore, they aren’t afraid of us resisting at all. If we resist, only death will await us,” Zhou Qing said helplessly.

“I see. Then let me ask you, do you want to free yourself from them?” Lin Jiufeng’s expression moved, then he asked.

Zhou Qing blinked and quickly got up. Ignoring his swollen face, he asked cautiously, “You’re saying?”

“I want to destroy the Celestial Realm!” Lin Jiufeng said firmly.

Zhou Qing was shocked. He looked left and right, then he said in a low voice, “I know that you are powerful. You could defeat me when you were at the False Immortal Realm. And now that you have entered the Immortal Realm, you can kill me with a single slap. But there are 3,000 immortals in the Celestial Realm. Ignoring those of us who joined the Celestial Realm subsequently, the remnants of the former Immortal Court are the key to the problem.”

Seeing Zhou Qing like this, Lin Jiufeng knew that he was tempted. It was obvious that this group of remnants of the former Immortal Court didn’t treat Zhou Qing and the other newly joined immortals well.

“Are these remnants very powerful?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Of course they are powerful. They aren’t ordinary immortals. They are all former descendants of the Immortal Court and have terrifying inheritances. Moreover, among these descendants, several of them have reached the peak of the Immortal Realm. They aren’t so easy to defeat,” Zhou Qing explained.

“Then, do you think that I’m powerful?” Lin Jiufeng asked calmly.

“You’re powerful. The feeling you give me is like facing those old and young people of the previous Immortal Court. But you are alone, there are many of them,” Zhou Qing explained.

“Can you stall for three months?” Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and asked.

“Three months. It’s a little difficult. Because I failed to bring back an immortal this time, they will send someone else. What if the others aren’t as obedient as me?” Zhou Qing asked worriedly.

Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and said, “If I give you an immortal to bring back, can you stall for three months?”

“That won’t be a problem. In the next three months, as long as no one makes a breakthrough, the Celestial Realm won’t make a move.” Zhou Qing nodded.

“Alright, then I will bring you to look for an immortal. Bring him back and stall for three months. Three months later, I will kill my way into the Celestial Realm. This is your chance to leave the Celestial Realm. It’s up to you to decide if you want to seize the opportunity.” Lin Jiufeng looked at Zhou Qing with an indifferent gaze.

“Of course, you can also report me. After all, the people of the Celestial Realm don’t dare to come to the mortal realm. If some small fish like you come, I will slap them to death.” Lin Jiufeng warned Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing smiled awkwardly. “Why would I? I also want to escape from the Celestial Realm, but can you solve the thing that’s trapping us in the Celestial Realm?”

“I’ll think of a solution when the time comes. As long as you fulfill what you promised me, I will definitely keep my promise. You can only choose to not believe me now,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“I believe you. To be able to reach such heights in this era of weak cultivation, if you were a despicable person, you definitely wouldn’t be so powerful.” Zhou Qing wasn’t worried about this.

He was worried about another problem. “Is there a third immortal in this world?”

Lin Jiufeng looked into the distance. His eyes were faint as he said, “There are more things in this world than you think. The waters are very deep.”

Zhou Qing thought about it carefully. Those old farts from the Celestial Realm didn’t dare to come down no matter what. This meant that the mortal realm was very dangerous.

“Damn it. This group of old farts stole the source energy of the mortal realm, then hid in the Celestial Realm, and they do not dare to come down. All they know is to send us to our deaths,” Zhou Qing scolded angrily.

More than 10,000 years ago, he was beaten half to death by the King of Recovery.

More than 10,000 years later, he was beaten half to death by Lin Jiufeng.

“Let’s go. We have an agreement between us now. I will bring you to find another immortal. I hope that you can stall for three months. Three months later, I will definitely kill my way into the Celestial Realm,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“Pardon me for asking, but do you have a grudge against the Celestial Realm?” Zhou Qing asked curiously.

“No, but this world has a grudge with the Celestial Realm, and a deep grudge at that,” Lin Jiufeng replied.

The culprits for the spiritual energy tide in this world were the group of descendants in the Celestial Realm. They stole the source energy of the world and caused the world to become like this.

Lin Jiufeng had to take back the source energy of the world so that the spiritual energy wouldn’t dissipate and the people could continue living a good life.

This was what the Great Emperor Jiufeng should do.

He had never met anyone from the Celestial Realm, but they were already mortal enemies. There was no room for reconciliation.

Lin Jiufeng turned around and left. A line of words appeared before his eyes.

[Defeated Immortal Zhou Qing. Do you wish to Sign in?]

Lin Jiufeng decisively signed in.

Although he had broken through to the Immortal Realm, he still felt that he was very weak.

This was also the reason why he wanted Zhou Qing to stall for three months.

[Sign-In successful. Received Immortal Technique, Fleeting Time!]

A terrifying immortal technique appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s mind.

Although it was called an immortal technique, it was more like a Great Dao. When this immortal technique was executed, it was as if a terrifying Great Dao of Time would be formed in the void.

Lin Jiufeng checked the information and discovered that this Fleeting Time could instantly make a person become older or younger.

This was an extremely terrifying immortal technique.

Lin Jiufeng decisively started learning. The Fleeting Time immortal technique entered his body. As he walked, he successfully learned it.

His aura became stronger.

Zhou Qing followed behind and muttered in his heart, “Why is he becoming stronger and stronger? This is too strange. He just broke through to the Immortal Realm and already surpassed my realm. His true combat strength is simply terrifying, like a ferocious prehistoric beast.”

‘Perhaps I can really have hope that he will be able to destroy the Celestial Realm. This way, I will be free. If I can obtain that mystical spiritual liquid, that would be even better.’ Zhou Qing started plotting in his heart.

…

Lin Jiufeng left the Primordial Sacred Mountain with the little white cat and Zhou Qing to look for someone.

Or rather, a skeleton.

In the mysterious world beneath the Eye of the North Sea, Lin Jiufeng had killed the God of Darkness because of the skeleton’s persuasion.

The skeleton also came out and returned to its original world. Then, it worked hard to recover.

The skeleton was originally at the Immortal Realm, and it was now in this era of spiritual energy recovery.

Now that six years had passed, Lin Jiufeng had sensed that the skeleton had recovered the aura of an immortal a few years ago.

The current skeleton was just an ordinary commoner in the imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty, just like Lin Jiufeng.

The two of them would occasionally meet, becoming old friends.

This was also the reason why Lin Jiufeng swore that the waters in this world were very deep.

They returned to the imperial capital very quickly. Then, they found the skeleton in a small courtyard.

The former skeleton was now a thin old man. After he recovered to the Immortal Realm, flesh and blood grew out of his body, his skin also grew, and he recovered to the appearance of a human.

As for the traces of the past that he wanted to find, they had long been washed away by time.

He was disheartened. In the end, he remembered Lin Jiufeng’s words.

(Go to the imperial capital. The imperial capital is filled with heroes. There’s Great Emperor Jiufeng in the imperial capital. You should go there.)

He lived in the imperial capital for the next few years till now.

Lin Jiufeng returned to the imperial capital and directly looked for him. The two of them could be considered old friends. Lin Jiufeng didn’t treat him as someone unfamiliar and directly told him about the plan to destroy the Celestial Realm.

After hearing this, the skeleton smiled and said, “I didn’t expect that I can still contribute to the Human Race now. I agree.”

The former skeleton was now called Zuo Muyun.

[1] Literally, translate as white cat.

[2] The King of mountains that connected the earth and heaven in Chinese legends.
