Chapter 134 - The Situation in Jiangnan

Chapter 134: The Situation in Jiangnan

The Fate Changing Technique was a powerful and terrifying technique.

Despite understanding how it worked and how to execute it, Lin Jiufeng remained unable to use it.

The requirements for its activation were simply too high.

Not only Lin Jiufeng had to be sufficiently powerful himself, but he also had to sacrifice a peerless powerhouse for the technique.

For now, Lin Jiufeng didn’t have a peerless powerhouse to sacrifice.

In addition, Lin Jiufeng believed that he wasn’t that strong to resurrect someone from the dead just yet. He still couldn’t traverse between the world of the living and the dead to find both the souls of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

Hence, Lin Jiufeng still had to become stronger.

‘If I want to become even stronger, I have to visit different mystical places in this world. I must sign in at those places. Only when I do this can I possibly become even stronger than I am today.’ Lin Jiufeng silently thought.

The Cold Palace and the Land of Extreme Negative Energy gave Lin Jiufeng 80 years’ worth of sign-in materials. But now that they were no longer useful to him, he had to go somewhere else.

This visit of his to see Emperor Yuan was also a kind of farewell.

He didn’t know how long it would take for him to return.

He might be back very soon.

But he might also not return for a long time.

Hence, Lin Jiufeng talked about many things to Emperor Yuan.

He shared some worries that he had in his heart with the latter.

Just as Lin Jiufeng was paying his respects to Emperor Yuan, footsteps sounded in the quiet royal cemetery.

Lin Jiufeng looked over in surprise.

Someone was coming…

Lin Jiufeng instantly identified the untimely intruder.

He was surprised.

How did he know that he was here?

It wasn’t an intruder at all.

It was Emperor De.

He walked in all alone and saw Lin Jiufeng’s back in the distance.

“Big Grand-Uncle!” Emperor De called out respectfully.

Lin Jiufeng turned to look at him and asked curiously, “How did you know that I was here?”

“When Yulin returned, I saw your back in the crowd,” Emperor De replied honestly.

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.

Emperor De saw his figure in that sea of people? His eyes must be pretty good.

“I escorted Yulin into the Forbidden City to see Mother, then I went to the Cold Palace. I didn’t find you there, so I thought of this place,” Emperor De said.

“You are very meticulous in your ways.” Lin Jiufeng praised.

“Big Grand-Uncle, I have fulfilled the promise that I made back then.” The already matured Emperor De became a little shy in front of Lin Jiufeng. Despite that, his voice remained proud as he declared the completion of his promise.

He promised Lin Jiufeng that the Yuhua God Dynasty would definitely still exist when Lin Jiufeng came out of seclusion.

And then about 30 years later, despite the great changes happening to the world, the Yuhua God Dynasty remained in existence.

Emperor De still looked like he was in his twenties after 30 years.

He wanted to prove himself to Lin Jiufeng.

“You have done well. You’ve stabilized the Yuhua God Dynasty on your own. You have perfectly inherited the will of both Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming. Not only that, but you have also brought the dynasty into greater heights…”

“Among the previous emperors of the Yuhua God Dynasty, you are a formidable candidate to become the best out of all of them.” Lin Jiufeng was not stingy with his praise.

Emperor De really did a good job, Lin Jiufeng naturally had to praise him.

Emperor De smiled like a baby.

In front of Lin Jiufeng, he wasn’t as scheming and as sly as others described him to be.

“Big Grand-Uncle, are you going to continue with your stay in the Cold Palace after coming out of seclusion?” Emperor De asked.

“No, I want to take a look at this world…”

Lin Jiufeng shook his head.

“So many forces from the previous era had come out. Their appearance had naturally turned this world into an exciting one. Naturally, I have to take a look.”

He no longer had any reason to stay in the Cold Palace.

“Big Grand-Uncle, the Buddhist, Daoist, and Demonic sects are the primary creators of these chaotic waves throughout the world…”

“There are the three top factions, the Quan Zhen Sect, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation of the Demonic Sects…”

“Other than that, there’s also the Temple of Gods in the Wild Lands and The Essence Qi Sect in the Plains. They are both top factions that must never be underestimated.”

“Of course, I believe that there are still those that are hidden and low-key.”

Emperor De told Lin Jiufeng all about these things as if he knew them by heart.

He admired and respected Lin Jiufeng, especially after being the Emperor for so many years. He inherited everything from Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming, so he naturally knew that Lin Jiufeng had been secretly supporting the Yuhua God Dynasty for decades.

Unknowingly, Lin Jiufeng had also become an important figure to him in his heart.

“I’m about to leave. You’ve done well in the Yuhua God Dynasty over the years. You should continue doing whatever you are doing to maintain this stability and peace.” Lin Jiufeng reminded.

Emperor De nodded and replied firmly, “I will devote my whole life to the Yuhua God Dynasty.”

Lin Jiufeng looked at Emperor De and said in satisfaction, “It’s good that you have such confidence.”

Afterwards, he added. “Don’t tell Princess Yulin that I’ve come out of seclusion. I’ll leave the Imperial Capital immediately and focus on cultivating. I have no particular place to go to, so there’s no need for you to reveal my appearance to her, lest she follows me wherever I go…”

Emperor De carved Lin Jiufeng’s words into his heart and replied, “I understand. Since Big Grand-Uncle wants to continue cultivating, I recommend Grand-Uncle to go to the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.”

“Why? Is the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower different from other places?”

Lin Jiufeng was curious.

“There are Buddha’s relics, golden bodies, and many other strange things in the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. Over the years, I have sent a number of scouts to infiltrate their ranks. I learned that there seems to be something terrifying beneath the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower,” Emperor De said solemnly.

“Is the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower really that terrifying?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“As far as I know, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower is currently the most terrifying among the top factions,” Emperor De said rather seriously.

“There used to be three Buddhist sects in the Jiangnan area—Dalin Temple, Shaolin Temple, and Xuankong Temple.

“But both Shaolin and Xuankong Temple have already been annexed by the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. The foundations of these two Buddhist sects have become the foundation of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. With this move, they immediately became the biggest power in the Jiangnan area…”

“The power and prestige of our Yuhua God Dynasty in Jiangnan has become increasingly difficult to maintain over the years,” Emperor De said solemnly.

Lin Jiufeng listened quietly.

He looked at Emperor De and asked, “Is the imperial court already struggling to maintain control of the Jiangnan area?”

Emperor De recommended him to go to the Jiangnan area to take a look at the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

Lin Jiufeng immediately guessed that there was a problem in the Jiangnan area.

Emperor De sighed and said, “I don’t dare to hide it from Big Grand-Uncle…”

“The Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower has already suppressed the Jiangnan area to the point that the people there are trembling from fear. The news that I received from various scouts and spies all said that there is great danger in the Jiangnan area and that the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower is very terrifying…”

“But no one knows what exactly is that danger and just what happened to Jiangnan.”

“No one has entered the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to come out. I just feel that if we don’t do something about the Jiangnan area soon, something bad will definitely happen.” Emperor De looked at Lin Jiufeng sincerely.

“Big Grand-Uncle. Since you want to see the world, why don’t you start from the Jiangnan area? For the safety of the common people there, I implore you to please check what’s going on in the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower during your journey.”

Emperor De knelt and begged Lin Jiufeng.

He came to find Lin Jiufeng in a hurry because of this problem.

The solution to the problem in the Jiangnan area couldn’t be delayed any longer.

It had to be handled urgently.

Lin Jiufeng looked at the kneeling Emperor De and replied, “After coming out of seclusion, I saved Princess Yulin. It’s not good to favor one over the other. I’ll help you take a look at this Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower as a reward for your hard work for the past 30 years.”

Hearing Emperor De’s words, Lin Jiufeng was a little tempted too.

Since he hadn’t decided on where to go yet, he would go to the Jiangnan area to take a look at this Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower.

Moreover, his one and only friend, Dachun, was also in Jiangnan.

Lin Jiufeng planned to visit him on the way.

“Thank you, Big Grand-Uncle!” Emperor De kowtowed in delight.

“Get up! I cannot accept the Emperor’s kowtow.”

Lin Jiufeng took a step back, refusing to let Emperor De kowtow to him.

“By the way, where did you arrange for Dachun to be?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
