Chapter 151: Mortal Realm Walker
After killing Monk Shengyun, Lin Jiufeng looked at the treasures that the former had left behind.
Buddha’s relic…
Buddha’s scepter…
There were also some other treasures of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.
For Lin Jiufeng, however, only the Buddha’s relic and scepter were useful. He decided to take the two with him while tossing the other treasures into the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait. He let the latter devour them so that it could further bolster its recovery.
Lin Jiufeng put Buddha’s relic and scepter away. After dealing with the demonic creatures, Lin Jiufeng and the white cat began to tour Jiangnan.
The beautiful scenery of Jiangnan was everywhere.
As far as the eye could see, everything was picturesque and captivating.
Lin Jiufeng brought the white cat along as he wandered through the beautiful sceneries of Jiangnan, both of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery as well as the various delicacies and specialties of Jiangnan.
He lived a rather leisurely life, living more comfortably than a god.
With Lin Jiufeng by her side, the white cat felt very comfortable throughout.
She only concerned herself with enjoying the passing day, as she stopped cultivating altogether.
She was in no hurry at all.
After all, even if she rushed. It would still take her a few days to make a breakthrough.
Moreover, Lin Jiufeng also doted on her.
With his powerful cultivation base, it wasn’t a problem for him to protect a cat, right?
Lin Jiufeng ignored the commotion of the outside world and bought himself a boat. He brought the white cat along and drifted down the river, heading deep into the utopia known as Jiangnan.
But the commotion in the outside world was far greater than he had imagined.
…
After Lin Jiufeng entered Jiangnan, he took care of the demonic dens in Dalin Temple and the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, and he also destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.
In just one night, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, which had suppressed Jiangnan for 20-30 years and had been regarded as one of the major forces in the world by everyone, collapsed.
It sank into the West Lake and disappeared without a trace.
It was as if it had never appeared before.
Such news was shocking.
Every major force in the world was shocked speechless to hear this news.
They asked around one after another, trying to find out who exactly was it that destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.
But the information that they received vastly differed from each other.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower had just been wiped out, and the news of its destruction spread like wildfire. There were all sorts of rumors, but no one knew who to listen to.
But after Lin Jiufeng toured Jiangnan with the white cat for a few days, the information about the mysterious powerhouse gradually became clearer.
The person who destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was a powerhouse from the Yuhua God Dynasty.
In an instant, many people inquired one after another.
They wanted to know the identity of that powerhouse.
But then everyone realized that the one who destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was that same mysterious powerhouse who had protected the Yuhua God Dynasty several decades ago.
Decades later, he appeared once again. Not only was he not suppressed by the endless stream of powerhouses that appeared, but he had also become even stronger.
When he appeared out in the world after being absent for so long, he destroyed the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.
He destroyed a major force that everyone only had praises for.
Many people discussed the exact identity of the mysterious powerhouse.
…
Yuhua God Dynasty, Imperial Capital.
In the Forbidden City.
Emperor De soon received the news.
He had been paying close attention to the changes in Jiangnan.
He sincerely asked Lin Jiufeng to go down to Jiangnan so that the precarious situation in Jiangnan would be solved.
But Emperor De never expected that Lin Jiufeng’s move would be so earth-shattering.
He directly demolished the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.
It was completely destroyed.
Not even a successor was left behind.
The West Lake returned to its former state and beauty.
“I knew that Big Grand-Uncle wouldn’t disappoint me.”
Emperor De held the information delivered by the spies.
He couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
He was happy from the bottom of his heart that the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower had been wiped out. With this, the troubles in the Jiangnan area were finally settled once and for all.
The many people in Jiangnan would be able to continue to live and work in peace.
“Brother Emperor, did Big Grand-Uncle do it?” Princess Yulin asked in surprise.
After her safe return from captivity, she guessed that the one who saved her must be Lin Jiufeng. But she didn’t have any evidence to support her claims. Now that something earth-shattering happened, Princess Yulin was convinced that Lin Jiufeng had already emerged from seclusion.
“Yes, I earnestly asked Big Grand-Uncle to go to Jiangnan to solve the problems there. It’s just that I didn’t expect Big Grand-Uncle to be so brave as to directly wipe out the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower,” Emperor De replied happily.
In the entire hall, only Emperor De and Princess Yulin were present.
Thus, there was no need for them to hide anything when discussing this matter with each other.
Emperor De laughed loudly and spoke his mind.
“Big Grand-Uncle is indeed powerful,” Princess Yulin said proudly.
Lin Jiufeng was her Big Grand-Uncle, but at the same time, he was also her master.
Her knowledge in the cultivation path came from Lin Jiufeng.
How could Princess Yulin not be proud?
“Now that the troubles in Jiangnan are no more, the world should be at peace for a while. Big Grand-Uncle is indeed the firm pillar of support for the Yuhua God Dynasty…”
“Once he makes a move, everyone in the world cannot do anything other than to stop and watch.” Emperor De clapped and said in a relaxed manner.
The burden that had been weighing on him during this period of time had become lighter.
It was Lin Jiufeng who helped him bear the pressure.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t make a personal appearance in the world. He only wiped out a major force in secret, but the effect was still rather excellent.
“When will Big Grand-Uncle be back?” Princess Yulin asked expectantly.
She wanted to see Lin Jiufeng. She wanted to see him and ask him for advice.
“Big Grand-Uncle might not be coming back for the time being. He said that he wants to travel the world,” Emperor De replied softly.
“I see…” Princess Yulin looked disappointed.
“There’s no need to be sad. As long as your cultivation base continues to rise, you will definitely be able to see Big Grand-Uncle someday.” Emperor De comforted Princess Yulin.
Princess Yulin nodded and said firmly, “I will definitely work hard to improve. Whilst I was being held captive by that swordsman, I have been in the midst of comprehending a new sword path. Give me time, and I will definitely catch up to Big Grand-Uncle!”
“How are the injuries of that son of the Millennium Sword God?” Emperor De asked.
“He’s much better now, but he still needs to recuperate. He has already agreed to stay in the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty to look for his father’s corpse. When necessary, he will help us,” Princess Yulin replied.
“That’s good. With a powerful swordsman like him on our side, our Yuhua God Dynasty will have an additional source of confidence. This way, we will have another helper when facing the overbearing members of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.” Emperor Yuan stated solemnly.
“Brother Emperor, is that person from the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect still so arrogant and overbearing?” Princess Yulin asked with a frown.
“The people of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect claim that they patrol the world on behalf of the heavens and supervise it…”
“The person-in-charge in this current generation is called Daoist Priest Daoyi…”
“Their sect believes that according to the will of heaven, emperors aren’t allowed to cultivate the Dao, aren’t allowed to live forever, and aren’t allowed to interfere with the world. The throne of the Emperor must be passed down from generation to generation, no lone emperor is allowed to sit on the throne forever.” Emperor Yuan explained tirelessly.
“How nosy!” Princess Yulin said indignantly.
Making emperors stop cultivating the Dao and making emperors unable to live forever—was this something that a Daoist priest should care about?
Emperor De added. “I’ve already looked up some information about the previous era. I have some of their information with me.”
“The major forces of the world’s Dao sects are—the Quan Zhen Sect and the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect. The Quan Zhen Sect is a sect purely for cultivators only, while the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect has fused with the secular world…”
“These two sects have their own strengths and weaknesses.”
“But compared to the Quan Zhen Sect that’s detached from the secular world, the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect is much more troublesome to handle.”
“They are involved in the affairs of the mortal realm. Every generation of disciples that have completed their training will obtain the identity of a Mortal Realm Walker. They would travel around the mortal realm and patrol the world on behalf of the heavens and supervise every emperor in the mortal realm, forbidding them from cultivating the Dao…”
“Once an emperor that has cultivated the Dao is discovered, the Mortal Realm Walker will assassinate the emperor and change the dynasty, letting the common people of the mortal realm choose another emperor for themselves.”
Emperor De’s looked gloomy.
This was because the Mortal Realm Walker of this generation from the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect had his eyes on him.
Emperor De cultivated the Dao, he could live for at least a few thousand years.
And this longevity was something that the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect forbade.
Hence, the Daoist Priest Daoyi wanted to come and assassinate Emperor De.
