Chapter 73
Lin Jiufeng reminded himself.
Even though he now had a little bit of strength and seemed invincible on the surface of the turbid water that was also known as the martial path—that was because the monsters underwater were still hidden in its depths.
Lin Jiufeng emptied his mind and decided to continue to live in seclusion.
He wanted to see how the outside world would change in the coming years.
He consumed the Grotto-Heaven Great Pill, closed his eyes, and began to expand his Divine Grade Grotto-heaven.
…
The outside world was in a flurry of discussion about Princess Yulin.
Countless people sought an audience with Princess Yulin.
Because of this, she could only hide in the palace and accompany her mother.
Of course, with Princess Yulin’s personality.
This caused her nothing but endless vexation. She wanted to go out, but she couldn’t.
There were just too many people that wanted to meet her.
In Empress Dowager’s palace, Princess Yulin chatted with her mother.
The Empress Dowager asked Princess Yulin. “How did you learn all these skills?”
Princess Yulin only replied, “I have a Master who taught me these skills.”
“What kind of person is your Master? Can you invite him to the Yuhua God Dynasty to be a royal consecrator? There won’t be any pressure on him, he just has to help the Yuhua God Dynasty in times of crisis.” The Empress Dowager asked with concern.
Although she held the biggest trump card of the Yuhua God Dynasty, it was the trump card that Emperor Ming—Lin Tianyuan—had left for her.
She couldn’t rely on this trump card for everything.
She needed her own forces to solve her problems.
Princess Yulin thought for a while, then she shook her head and replied, “It’s impossible. My master is indifferent to worldly affairs, so there is no way he will agree.”
“Sigh…”
“In that case, you must build a good relationship with your Master. If the God Dynasty is in danger in the future, you will have the confidence to deal with it,” The Empress Dowager said regrettably.
Princess Yulin smiled bitterly.
Facing the concern of the Empress Dowager, she could only agree.
But in reality, it was no longer convenient for her to go to the Cold Palace.
Her Master obviously didn’t want to be disturbed.
If she was disobedient, she risked angering her Master.
Hence, she chose to spend her time comprehending the two sword techniques that her Master had imparted to her instead of going anywhere else.
Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill!
Death Bone Sword Technique!
“The next time we meet, I will make Master look at me in a different light.”
Princess Yulin decided in her heart.
…
Time was constantly moving and the times were constantly changing.
Any topic would soon dissipate in popularity as time went on.
The common people of the world lived a busy and anxious life for the sake of a few taels of silver.
Regarding Princess Yulin’s matter, they had discussed it, felt proud of it, and gossiped about it before throwing it into the back of their minds.
She was a princess.
No matter how much they talked about her, they wouldn’t gain anything from it.
They still had to live their own lives.
The days went on, and after about ten days, the common people weren’t talking too much about it anymore.
One month later, this matter wasn’t even mentioned that often anymore.
Half a year later, if one didn’t deliberately think about this matter, no one would even remember it.
Princess Yulin’s presence had also gone thin as she stayed in seclusion, trying her best to comprehend the two sword techniques.
The world was calm—especially now that the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow no longer had the power to invade the borders of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Despite the turbulent undercurrents, the surface of the world remained peaceful.
And so, another five years passed.
In the past five years, Lin Jiufeng never once left the Cold Palace.
Princess Yulin didn’t come to the Cold Palace either.
In fact, she didn’t even leave her place.
She was completely focused on her cultivation.
However, the Yuhua God Dynasty hadn’t been peaceful in the past five years.
There were some rebellions and uprisings, some cultivators harmed the common people, and some demonic sects launched their own attacks.
Especially the demonic sects.
They were extremely terrifying as they swept over the lands this time.
After these five years, Emperor De was finally the one handling the state affairs instead of the Empress Dowager.
His thoughts had matured quite a lot.
He was no longer the same as he was when he was 18 years old.
He was no longer focused solely on cultivation.
He took over the state affairs from the Empress Dowager and began to deal with them carefully.
But he didn’t give up on cultivating either.
After five years, the Empress Dowager stayed behind the scenes.
She only gave pointers to Empress Dowager behind his back.
She didn’t compete with him for power.
If she refused to give her only son his deserved power and continued to control the court with her status as the Empress Dowager, wouldn’t the people call her a greedy wretch then?
The Empress Dowager knew that it would be wrong to suppress Emperor De.
She knew when to advance and when to retreat.
She was smart and full of wisdom.
With her talent, knowledge, and wisdom, she could become a solid backer of Emperor De.
Hence, she was satisfied with how Emperor De had improved in handling the state affairs.
From his immature, and dull start to his current proficiency in the court.
The Empress Dowager was content with Emperor De’s character development.
The only headache that she had was that she could no longer understand the world itself.

92: The Clown Is Actually Myself
: :
In the past five years, the outside world has been turbulent, including the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Only the Cold Palace remained the same.
It hasn’t changed that much in the past five years.
However, some parts of the Cold Palace’s outer walls had fallen off, revealing the mottled inner walls that showed its fight against time.
Some dilapidated houses in the Cold Palace had collapsed.
This Cold Palace had a history of more than a hundred years.
No one had renovated it for a long time, so it wasn’t out of the ordinary for some part of it to collapse.
Fortunately, the courtyard that Lin Jiufeng chose was relatively clean and comfortable.
He didn’t plan on switching to another courtyard.
After five years, he had long absorbed the Grotto-Heaven Great Pill and expanded his Divine Grade grotto-heaven.
He truly stood at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm by now.
Ten years ago, he made a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm and formed a Divine Grade Grotto-heaven.
Ten years later, he finished absorbing the Grotto-Heaven Great Pill and stood at the pinnacle of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
In the past ten years, the only change was that Lin Jiufeng had more or less defeated most of the demons, Demon Kings, and Demon Gods in the demon’s den beneath the underground palace.
These 3,000 plus powerhouses from the demon’s den were reputable powerhouses in the previous era. Every one of them were extremely terrifying existences that stood at the top when it comes to power in their own demonic sects.
But in this brand new era, they had gotten trapped in the demon’s den where they sealed themselves for hundreds of years and effectively became Lin Jiufeng’s Monster Spawner.
One per day.
365 per year.
After 10 years, Lin Jiufeng had defeated about 3600 demons from this demon’s den.
There were only about 10 demons that Lin Jiufeng hadn’t defeated yet.
The things that Lin Jiufeng received were mostly different.
Most of them were demonic cultivation techniques.
There were also some other treasures.
For pills, Lin Jiufeng directly consumed them.
The pills that he couldn’t eat or were useless to him were then fed to the white cat.
The white cat became a peak Human God just from consuming those pills.
She was originally an ordinary cat, but after obtaining a heaven-defying opportunity and consuming the pills of the Demon Lord, she became a Martial Sage.
But her cultivation speed after that had become extremely slow because her foundation was relatively weak.
But even so, after being nurtured by Lin Jiufeng’s vast amounts of pills and treasures, she still managed to reach the peak of the Human God Realm—the Nirvana stage.
From this, one could see how many treasures Lin Jiufeng had received from signing in for the past ten years that passed.
On this day, Lin Jiufeng came to the demon’s den early in the morning.
After five years, Lin Jiufeng was already in his sixties, close to turning 70.
Thinking carefully, he realized that he had been in the Cold Palace for almost 50 years now.
50 years…
This was a large part of an ordinary mortal’s life, and Lin Jiufeng had just spent it in the Cold Palace alone.
It was all thanks to his character that he managed to do so.
Ordinary people couldn’t possibly endure staying here for so long.
He was almost 70 years old, but he looked just like a teenager.
His eyes were as bright as the stars and his teeth were pearly-white.
He looked just like an elegant and handsome teenager.
The white cat didn’t change that much either.
But her fur became even more radiant and soft.
One could also feel a trace of nobility to it.
A single look was all it took for anyone worth their salt to know that the white cat had a formidable bloodline.
But in Lin Jiufeng’s eyes, she was just an abandoned stray cat.
“Why are you always going down there every day to fight them? Is it fun torturing them?”
The white cat followed Lin Jiufeng and asked, puzzled.
“Am I torturing them?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“Yup. You always defeat them with one slap every day.” The white cat nodded.
She was thoroughly confused.
Lin Jiufeng thought for a while and replied, “I won’t be able to do this to them any longer.”
