80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled Chapter 277 – The Life During the Five Decay (Part 3)

The 38-year-old Lin Jiufeng did a day of physical work and completely renovated the courtyard.

He was very tired!

During the calamity of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being Realm, he would try his best not to use his cultivation base, unless absolutely necessary.

After all, his cultivation base would be burned faster if he used it. That would be even more uncomfortable.

Lin Jiufeng was now an ordinary person, dealing with the biggest catastrophe in his life.

This kind of tribulation didn't come from the lightning tribulation, but from the mysteries of the void. They were mysterious and terrifying. If one wasn't careful, they would be completely devoured and lose everything.

Lin Jiufeng dealt with all changes by remaining unchanged.

He was slowly becoming old.

He was slowly comprehending life.

After a night, Lin Jiufeng woke up once again. He sat in front of the mirror and saw his gray hair mixed with white hair. He sighed faintly.

He was old.

He had truly aged.

Previously, even when he grew old, his body continued to maintain its peak because of his cultivation base.

Now, his body had also aged.

Standing in front of the mirror, Lin Jiufeng realized that his skin had relaxed and was no longer as tense and delicate as before.

The current him was just an old man.

48 years old.

In the Yuhua God Dynasty, in this world, among ordinary people, 48 years old was already the average lifespan.

Before the recovery of the world's spiritual energy, the average life expectancy for the common people in the Yuhua God Dynasty was only 30 plus years. This number had never exceeded 40 years.

The poor development of medical care and the ignorance of thought made the people of this era unable to escape the shackles of the era and live in a muddled state.

It was only in recent years that Emperor De strongly supported women to learn. He opened various schools suitable for women to learn and be taught together.

Among these schools, the most famous was the medical school led by Princess Yulin.

She was already the honorary dean of the medical school.

In the past ten years, the medical school had nurtured quite a number of doctors. They treated illnesses and saved people, slowly shattering the great mountain in people's hearts that oppressed women.

No matter how useful shouting slogans were, it wasn't as useful as showing the people the actual results.

The average life expectancy of the Yuhua God Dynasty was now 47 years old.

In this short period of time, increasing the average lifespan by ten years was unprecedented for a nation with a large population.

As for Lin Jiufeng, he had now exceeded the average lifespan by a year.

He stood up straight and puffed out his chest. What was more satisfying was that he was still as straight as a pine tree.

Today, Lin Jiufeng didn't do anything else. Like an old man, he carried a basket and went out to the market to buy some vegetables, meat, and fruits.

He returned in the afternoon and made a delicious hotpot for himself in the Cold Palace.

This was the first time.

Lin Jiufeng, who had been obsessed with cultivation, made hotpot for the first time. When night fell and the moon climbed out, Lin Jiufeng invited the moon to drink with him.

Tonight, he got drunk again.

Lin Jiufeng got himself drunk because he knew that no matter what happened today, he would definitely age by ten years tomorrow.

Tomorrow, his body age could reach 58.

In this world, before the recovery of spiritual energy, the vast majority of people wouldn't be able to live to this age.

Hence, this was also something to be happy about.

He was drunk again, but it wasn't as serious as the last time. He laid quietly on the rocking chair in the courtyard and looked at the starry sky filled with resplendent stars.

“What a beautiful world. It would be my sin if it was destroyed,” Lin Jiufeng murmured.

That night, he worried for a long time before he entered the room and fell asleep.

A new day arrived.

When Lin Jiufeng woke up, he was already 58 years old.

His tall and straight back was slightly curved. His figure was very thin, and his hair was completely white.

At this age, in the common people's families, those of this age were of the grandfather generation.

The current Lin Jiufeng truly lived up to his name as Big Grand-Uncle. He looked at his current appearance and remained silent for a long time.

Moving closer to the mirror, he could even see the age spots on his face.

“I'm interested in seeing how old this calamity is going to make me.” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows. He turned around and walked out of the courtyard, lying on a chair and sunbathing.

Perhaps it was because he was old, he lived a leisurely life. Such behavior of sunbathing for four hours under the sun was something the previous Lin Jiufeng would never do.

But now, he had really absorbed the sunlight for four hours.

“As expected, when people get old, their bodies won't have much heat. They need to absorb the sun and disperse the cold that shrouded their bodies,” Lin Jiufeng muttered.

He didn't do anything today. He was just sunbathing.

Another night passed and the dawn broke. Lin Jiufeng woke up early. He looked even older now. He was slovenly dressed and had a stubble beard which was totally white in color.

As he walked, Lin Jiufeng also realized that his body was very thin.

“If I fall down like this, it will be very unlucky for me.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head. At this moment, he wasn't the Great Emperor Jiufeng who forcefully destroyed the Primordial God Mountain, but an old man.

On this day, the 68-year-old Lin Jiufeng no longer had much to say. He just sat silently at the side throughout.

Lin Jiufeng was thinking about how to tide through this calamity.

He felt that he had to comprehend something in order to solve this problem.

In the previous era, many people had transcended nine lightning tribulations. In Lin Jiufeng's eyes, this tribulation wasn't something difficult to handle. The only problem was how to solve it.

Lin Jiufeng continued to think silently. Without asking anything, he spent another day quietly.

After this day, Lin Jiufeng brought out a weight gauge.

His weight was still only 80 plus.

“Why am I becoming shorter and smaller?” Lin Jiufeng muttered.

“Let's sleep. I will age ten years per day. Ten days is equal to aging another 100 years.”

Lin Jiufeng was tired from sunbathing during the day. Otherwise, he wouldn't have entered the house. Instead, he would have gone to some other places.

The current Lin Jiufeng had already entered the most difficult moment.

“The most difficult moment of this first decay is about to come.”

Lin Jiufeng closed his eyes and said in a peaceful tone.

He knew that the next few days would be the most crucial ones.

When he woke up in the morning, Lin Jiufeng got up with difficulty and washed up.

78 years old!

He was more than 70 years old now, and his body was very shaky as if he could pass away at any moment.

Lin Jiufeng was sunbathing. Nowadays, he needed the sun more and more.

The energy in his body was stirring.

But Lin Jiufeng didn't care. The magic power in his body burned like a wildfire.

The burning pain made Lin Jiufeng take a deep breath.

“I'm already 78 years old, how much older can this tribulation make me become?” Lin Jiufeng said angrily.

This calamity was like a flower, wanting to swallow Lin Jiufeng whole.

Lin Jiufeng firmly refused.

Then, another day passed.

He was already 88 years old.

This time, he not only aged, but he directly laid on the bed.

He couldn't get out of bed anymore.

In the eyes of outsiders, the so-called invincible Great Emperor Jiufeng was lying on the bed now. His breathing was weak and he couldn't get up anymore.

The Five Decay of the Celestial Being had reached the most critical moment.
