Chapter 206: Peaceful Times
Defeating Fire Lord wasnât a big problem for Lin Jiufeng.
He improved so fast in the past two months that he didnât even know just how strong he was at this moment.
Perhaps this surprising rate of improvement was because he had opened the Mountain Sea Realm. The hidden world that remained sealed for over 15,000 years simply gave Lin Jiufeng too many surprises.
Not many knew about the oasis deep in the barren lands of the Northwest Territory.
On top of that, there was a thriving ancient city above this oasis.
Furthermore, the top powerhouses of this brand-new era were currently living in this ancient city! Each one of them could easily tip the balance of this world once they managed to emerge into the world and made themselves known.
But today?
These experts were currently living in peace as the citizens of the oasisâs ancient city.
Outside the ancient city, Lin Jiufengâs courtyard was now bigger than ever. He also expanded his vegetable garden. In fact, he now had his own orchard and various farm animals to boot.
He was like a retired old person.
After defeating Fire Lord, he picked up his fishing rod and continued to fish.
The people in the ancient city only knew that Lin Jiufeng was fishing, but they had no idea about the line of words that appeared before Lin Jiufengâs eyes.
[Defeated Fire Lord and Sign-In for the Divine Soul Fusang Tree!]
The Divine Soul Fusang Tree was an immortal-grade item. Lin Jiufeng sat by the lake, holding the fishing rod.
His eyes were closed and his mind was completely focused on the Fusang Tree.
The Divine Soul Fusang Tree wasnât an ordinary tree.
It didnât grow in the soil, but mainly in the divine soul of cultivators.
The reason why Fire Lord was so powerful was that the shadow of the Fusang Tree existed in his divine soul.
On the Fusang Tree sat a three-legged Golden Crow.
In ancient legends, the three-legged Golden Crow was the sun itself.
Hence, after Fire Lord obtained the shadow of the Fusang Tree, he captured the traces of the three-legged Golden Crowâs essence. Thus, he was able to refine his divine soul into a sun.
Lin Jiufeng defeated him and signed in for the complete Divine Soul Fusang Tree.
When Lin Jiufeng realized this, he was overjoyed.
âNot bad. I received something that I can use for a long time,â Lin Jiufeng said in satisfaction.
Most of the signed-in items, regardless of whether they were cultivation techniques or treasured skills, would only be used for a short period of time. As his cultivation base became stronger, the techniques and treasured skills he learned would eventually become obsolete.
Only a small number of items similar to Godâs Domain, the two great domain phenomena, and the Void Sword Case could be used for a long time.
As his cultivation base increased, the Godâs Domainâs might always followed suit.
As for the two phenomena, the higher oneâs cultivation base was, the more terrifying they would be. For the Void Sword Case, without it, Lin Jiufengâs treasured swords that were currently in the case wouldâve long been obsolete.
In his arsenal, Lin Jiufeng now has an additional Divine Soul Fusang Tree that he could use for a long time.
âIâm at the Spirit Platform Realm now. The most important thing that must be done in this realm is the cultivation of my divine soul. With this Divine Soul Fusang Tree, my divine soul can easily become strong.â Lin Jiufeng was happy.
He decisively fused the Divine Soul Fusang Tree into his divine soul.
Rumble!
Lin Jiufengâs body and divine soul underwent an earth-shattering change.
To the people of the ancient city in the oasis, Lin Jiufeng was just sitting by the lake, motionless like a stone.
But only Lin Jiufeng himself knew what kind of great change had occurred to his body.
It wasnât an exaggeration to say that the world inside his body had changed.
His divine soul became the Fusang Tree.
His divine soul world became a vast and boundless sea where the Fusang Tree could be seen in the middle of it.
The space inside his divine soul expanded many times.
As its slow expansion continued, Lin Jiufengâs strength and realm would also continuously increase.
He sat by the lake for three days.
In the past three days, Lin Jiufeng didnât move at all.
But he still continued to sign in without moving. He would open the seal of the Mountain Sea Door on time, then a wisp of his divine soulâs might would burst out from his glabella.
Yesâa wisp!
Every time Lin Jiufeng needed to sign inâŠ
He would only release a wisp of his divine soulâs might.
It might be a wisp but it was strong enough to defeat a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator emerging from the Mountain Sea Realm.
Those cultivators didnât even know what happened before they were defeated by Lin Jiufeng.
Then, Old Man Luo took them to the oasis.
Three days later, after Lin Jiufeng successfully fused with the Divine Soul Fusang Tree, his divine soul and cultivation base greatly improved.
But to be honest, Lin Jiufeng was more concerned about his future improvement.
After all, he knew that the higher a cultivatorâs cultivation base was, the harder it would be for them to make future breakthroughs.
With the Divine Soul Fusang Tree, Lin Jiufengâs divine soul was now protected. A peerless expert was now unable to instantly kill Lin Jiufeng by virtue of annihilating the latterâs divine soul in his body.
Lin Jiufeng stretched his body and exclaimed in satisfaction.
âThis is such a comfortable way of lifeâŠâ
Defeating a cultivator every day brought him surprises every day.
Lin Jiufeng picked up the fishing rod. After three days, he had long ran out of bait, so he stopped fishing. He patted his butt clean and got up to leave.
âLittle white cat, where are you?â Lin Jiufeng shouted.
After not seeing the white cat for three days, he was starting to miss her presence.
âIâm making a breakthrough in seclusion,â the white cat replied.
Lin Jiufeng returned to the small courtyard and saw that she was curled up on the bed.
Spiritual energy surged in her body in a kaleidoscope of colorsâblood-red, milky-white, resplendent golden, and dazzling greenâŠ
The scene was colorful but constantly changing.
The white cat closed her eyes and breathed heavily.
The spiritual energy in the air surged into her tiny pink nose.
Lin Jiufeng walked over and placed his hand on the white catâs body to check her condition.
Rumble!
In Lin Jiufengâs perception, the white catâs body was like a vast and unfathomable, boundless sea.
Fortunately, she could control this raging sea.
Thus, there wouldnât be any problems.
Lin Jiufeng released his grip and looked at the white cat suspiciously.
âI canât even probe the depths of your power anymore. Does this mean that your bloodline is truly extraordinary?â Lin Jiufeng asked in surprise.
The change in the white cat exceeded Lin Jiufengâs imagination.
After taking a closer look and confirming that the white cat was fine, Lin Jiufeng was finally able to relax and he let her make a quiet breakthrough.
But most of his attention was still on the white cat.
âDonât worry and focus on breaking through. I will keep guard for you,â Lin Jiufeng said.
âThank youâŠâ The white cat replied weakly.
She didnât even open her eyes. She only answered because it was Lin Jiufeng talking to her.
If not, she would have ignored the voice.
Lin Jiufeng left the house and closed the door. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, he sat on the rocking chair at the door and closed his eyes to enjoy the evening breeze.
These days so far have been idyllic.
In the ancient city, the cultivators who were now the new citizens of the oasis had already given up against Lin Jiufeng. It was understandable, however, after they saw Lin Jiufengâs freakish performance in the past three days.
Even Fire Lord, who was defeated by Lin Jiufeng three days ago, had temporarily extinguished the fire in his heart. He became indifferent as he searched for a piece of land and learned from Lin Jiufeng. He began to grow vegetables and fruits.
A wisp of his divine soul to defeat a Spirit Platform Realm cultivator.
What the heck?
There was a person who wanted to join forces with everyone to gang up against Lin Jiufeng.
But he didnât expect that after making such a suggestion, everyone would outright ignore him.
To be honestâafter witnessing Lin Jiufengâs terrifying capabilitiesâthey werenât confident that even their collective strength could defeat the former at all.
In addition, after the previously failed alliance, no one dared to execute something similar again.
Just like that, the current top powerhouses in this brand-new eraâthe cultivators that could easily tip the balance of this world were all holed up in the ancient city of the Northwest Territoryâs oasisâŠ
They became like citizens, the oasisâs citizens.
They spent their days idling about, tilling the land, planting vegetables, and cultivating. Then once they were done with their routines, they would walk around to modify the buildings in the ancient city according to their likings.
Under Lin Jiufengâs leadership, the ancient city that was once the home of outlaws was now filled with law-abiding citizens that wanted nothing but peace and stability.
