Chapter 206: Peaceful Times

Defeating Fire Lord wasn’t a big problem for Lin Jiufeng.

He improved so fast in the past two months that he didn’t 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 oasis’s ancient city.

Outside the ancient city, Lin Jiufeng’s 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 Jiufeng’s 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 wasn’t an ordinary tree.

It didn’t 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 Crow’s 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.

“Not bad. I received something that I can use for a long time,” 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 God’s Domain, the two great domain phenomena, and the Void Sword Case could be used for a long time.

As his cultivation base increased, the God’s Domain’s might always followed suit.

As for the two phenomena, the higher one’s cultivation base was, the more terrifying they would be. For the Void Sword Case, without it, Lin Jiufeng’s treasured swords that were currently in the case would’ve long been obsolete.

In his arsenal, Lin Jiufeng now has an additional Divine Soul Fusang Tree that he could use for a long time.

“I’m 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.” Lin Jiufeng was happy.

He decisively fused the Divine Soul Fusang Tree into his divine soul.

Rumble!

Lin Jiufeng’s 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 wasn’t 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 Jiufeng’s strength and realm would also continuously increase.

He sat by the lake for three days.

In the past three days, Lin Jiufeng didn’t 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 soul’s might would burst out from his glabella.

Yes—a wisp!

Every time Lin Jiufeng needed to sign in…

He would only release a wisp of his divine soul’s 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 didn’t 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 cultivator’s cultivation base was, the harder it would be for them to make future breakthroughs.

With the Divine Soul Fusang Tree, Lin Jiufeng’s divine soul was now protected. A peerless expert was now unable to instantly kill Lin Jiufeng by virtue of annihilating the latter’s divine soul in his body.

Lin Jiufeng stretched his body and exclaimed in satisfaction.

“This is such a comfortable way of life…”

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.

“Little white cat, where are you?” Lin Jiufeng shouted.

After not seeing the white cat for three days, he was starting to miss her presence.

“I’m making a breakthrough in seclusion,” 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 colors—blood-red, milky-white, resplendent golden, and dazzling green…

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 cat’s body to check her condition.

Rumble!

In Lin Jiufeng’s perception, the white cat’s body was like a vast and unfathomable, boundless sea.

Fortunately, she could control this raging sea.

Thus, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Lin Jiufeng released his grip and looked at the white cat suspiciously.

“I can’t even probe the depths of your power anymore. Does this mean that your bloodline is truly extraordinary?” Lin Jiufeng asked in surprise.

The change in the white cat exceeded Lin Jiufeng’s 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.

“Don’t worry and focus on breaking through. I will keep guard for you,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“Thank you…” The white cat replied weakly.

She didn’t 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 Jiufeng’s 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 didn’t expect that after making such a suggestion, everyone would outright ignore him.

To be honest—after witnessing Lin Jiufeng’s terrifying capabilities—they weren’t 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 era—the cultivators that could easily tip the balance of this world were all holed up in the ancient city of the Northwest Territory’s oasis…

They became like citizens, the oasis’s 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 Jiufeng’s 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.
