80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled Chapter 323

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

This monk appeared without making any noise.

Even Lin Jiufeng didn't notice him. He didn't notice him at all when he came over the prayer wheels.

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu were very excited.

The young men and women who grew up in the Western Desert had all heard his stories.

A Buddhist monk that had a deep love for a woman. This was quite unforgettable.

In the solemn Buddhist sects and in the land of the Western Desert, the poem of this Cangyang Jiacuo made the young boys and girls yearn for the type of love described in it.

Including Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu. In their youth, they also regarded him as their idol.

Now, this idol appeared before their eyes.

They couldn't help but be excited.

“Cangyang Jiacuo, is that you?” Monk Anan asked softly in excitement.

The monk looked up, revealing a pure white face. His eyes were bright like an infant, pure and without impurities.

Lin Jiufeng had seen these eyes before.

On his way to the Western Desert, Lin Jiufeng had seen such eyes on an ascetic monk.

But the ascetic monk was dark and thin, weathered, and completely different from the jade-like monk in front of him.

They were probably not the same person.

Lin Jiufeng thought silently.

He didn't believe that the contrast would be that great.

The monk stood up and looked at Monk Anan. He nodded calmly and said, “I'm Cangyang Jiacuo!”

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu instantly became excited.

This was the real Cangyang Jiacuo!

The monk was reputed to be the most charming monk in the Western Desert.

He really appeared before their eyes.

Cangyang Jiacuo ignored their excitement. Instead, he looked at Lin Jiufeng and smiled.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, we meet again.”

Lin Jiufeng frowned. He instantly overthrew his previous idea and asked hesitantly, “Are you that ascetic?”

Cangyang Jiacuo nodded and said with a smile, “Like I said, my destination is the Great Thunderclap Temple.”

“I heard from them that you were imprisoned in the Great Thunderclap Temple 20,000 years ago. What exactly happened in the Great Thunderclap Temple back then? Why did you live to this era?” Lin Jiufeng asked, his heart full of questions.

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu watched curiously.

They were also puzzled.

“20,000 years ago, I was imprisoned under the scripture learning pagoda. But one day, I was suddenly sealed in a place and fell into a long sleep. Then, I woke up again and I was already in this era,” Cangyang Jiacuo said with a bitter expression.

“You're saying that you were sealed?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Yes, when I woke up, the world had changed drastically. The Great Thunderclap Temple was also destroyed and became a relic. I only awakened not long ago and started anew in my cultivation. I could only choose to walk to the Great Thunderclap Temple and see what happened here,” Cangyang Jiacuo said.

Monk Anan said helplessly, “Then he doesn't even know as much as I do.”

Lin Jiufeng looked at Cangyang Jiacuo's current cultivation base. He had just broken through to the Immortal Realm, and the gap between him and his previous title of Living Buddha was indeed too big.

“Are you here now to find some clues from back then?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“I've already found it,” Cangyang Jiacuo said.

“What secret have you found?” Lin Jiufeng was instantly curious.

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu also looked at Cangyang Jiacuo expectantly.

“I didn't find the secret of the past. I just found my mission in this era.” Cangyang Jiacuo waved his hand.

“Mission?” Lin Jiufeng didn't understand what this meant.

“There must be a reason why I was sealed 20,000 years ago and appeared in this era. I will stay in the Western Desert next.” Cangyang Jiacuo didn't plan to explain. It was enough that he knew his own mission.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Lin Jiufeng couldn't force him to. He just looked at him and asked, “Back then, was there anything about Great Emperor Shakyamuni in the Great Thunderclap Temple?”

Cangyang Jiacuo said, “The Great Thunderclap Temple from 20,000 years ago was also 80,000 years away from the era of Emperor Shakyamuni. Do you think that anything can be passed down for 80,000 years?”

“Other than that huge statue, there are no other things passed down from Great Emperor Shakyamuni. Even some of the scriptures have been supplemented by people of the later generations. They are no longer the original version,” Cangyang Jiacuo lamented.

“Indeed.” Monk Anan agreed with this statement.

The scriptures were passed down from generation to generation, but there would always be people who interpreted them from different perspectives. Originally, Great Emperor Shakyamuni's meaning was very simple, but after the continual explanation of his descendants, it became complicated. This was inevitable.

“Then, I wonder if you can bring me around the Great Thunderclap Temple?” Lin Jiufeng looked at Cangyang Jiacuo.

“No problem. It's my honor to be able to invite the current Great Emperor Jiufeng to visit the Great Thunderclap Temple. This is a chance that many people wish for,” Cangyang Jiacuo said with a smile.

Ever since he woke up, the person he heard of the most was Great Emperor Jiufeng.

The pillar of the Yuhua God Dynasty, the number one powerhouse in the world, the number one immortal in the world, the Great Emperor who suppressed the Myriad Races…

These reputations had all spread to the Western Desert, one could imagine Lin Jiufeng's current reputation.

“Then, your previous name…” Lin Jiufeng suddenly remembered. The first time he saw Cangyang Jiacuo, he called himself Monk Crescent.

Moreover, at that time, he was dark and thin.

“Monk Crescent is a Dharma name that I used before. Previously, I was dark and thin. It was because I had just recovered that the energy in my body was very weak. I was sealed for 20,000 years after all, it's already very good that I didn't become a mummy,” Cangyang Jiacuo said jokingly.

Lin Jiufeng followed him and began to stroll around the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Monk Anan was definitely not as familiar with the Great Thunderclap Temple as Cangyang Jiacuo.

Monk Anan knew many places, but he couldn't give an explanation for them. However, Cangyang Jiacuo could tell him the origins of this place, what interesting things had happened, and some secret Buddhist pasts.

Monk Anan listened attentively, not planning to show off his knowledge of the Great Thunderclap Temple in front of Cangyang Jiacuo.

Soon, Cangyang Jiacuo brought Lin Jiufeng and the other two to the most important place in the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Buddha's preaching place!

“This is also a place second only to that huge statue. Because this is the place where Great Emperor Shakyamuni taught the Dao back then, it was well-preserved until now,” Cangyang Jiacuo introduced.

Lin Jiufeng looked around. This was a simple clearing with a Bodhi tree in it.

“That was a Bodhi tree that was planted later on. It is said that Buddha comprehended the Dao under this tree and then spread the Buddhist teachings under this tree. The listeners sat here. It's a very simple place. There's no sense of ritual, but it truly displayed the natural and myriad Dao origins of the Buddhist teachings,” Cangyang Jiacuo said.

Lin Jiufeng nodded. He believed in this saying.

Because a line of words appeared before his eyes.

[Do you want to Sign-In at the place where Great Emperor Shakyamuni used to preach in?]

Lin Jiufeng agreed decisively.

[Sign-In successful. Received one chance to comprehend the Dao!]

Lin Jiufeng was stunned. He was puzzled. ‘Is this chance to comprehend the Dao the same as before? To enter the sea of Great Dao?'

He quickly checked the information and found that it wasn't the case.

[The chance to comprehend the Dao is to let you listen to a Dao preaching from Great Emperor Shakyamuni at a close distance for two hours!]

Lin Jiufeng was directly overjoyed. This was too shocking.

To the current him, this was simply the greatest help.

After all, his cultivation base was too weak.

Although such a cultivation base seemed very powerful to others, Lin Jiufeng felt that it was far from enough.

He needed to become stronger.

This opportunity to comprehend the Dao was simply the greatest surprise for him at his current stage.

“The Great Thunderclap Temple is quiet now. Back then, there were 3,000 people cultivating and comprehending the Dao here every day,” Monk Anan said with emotion.

Back then, when he came to the Great Thunderclap Temple and saw this place for the first time, he would never forget that kind of shock in his life.

“No matter how brightly the flowers bloom, there will still be a day when they wither. There are no invincible dynasties in the world, and there is also no sun that won't fall in the world. The curtain of the Great Thunderclap Monastery has fallen, so there's no need to be too sad. It's enough to complete its historical mission,” Cangyang Jiacuo said softly.

“Historical mission?” Ouyang Xiu looked at Cangyang Jiacuo in confusion.

Lin Jiufeng was also very curious. Cangyang Jiacuo had mentioned this historical mission a few times, but what exactly was it?

“Everyone has their own mission in history, regardless if it's big or small. 100,000 years ago, the land of the Western Desert was desolate and filled with ferocious beasts. Great Emperor Shakyamuni appeared out of nowhere and established the Great Thunderclap Temple. He swept through the land of the Western Desert and spread the Buddhist teachings. Until now, the land of the Western Desert is already safe. The mission of the Great Thunderclap Temple has also been completed. It's normal for it to leave the stage of history then,” Cangyang Jiacuo said.

As Lin Jiufeng listened to Cangyang Jiacuo speak, he walked directly to the Bodhi tree and sat down.

He learned from Great Emperor Shakyamuni and comprehended the Dao under the tree.

“You guys continue to go elsewhere. I have some insights that I need to think carefully about,” Lin Jiufeng said to them.

Cangyang Jiacuo, Monk Anan, and Ouyang Xiu knew that it wasn't good to disturb Lin Jiufeng at this moment.

Especially Cangyang Jiacuo. He directly bade farewell to Lin Jiufeng.

“My goal in coming to the Great Thunderclap Monastery this time has been achieved. Let's meet again if fate allows. I'm going to find a place to recover my strength.”

Cangyang Jiacuo had just awakened and had already reached the Immortal Realm. His strength was definitely terrifying. As long as he was given some time, it wouldn't be a problem for him to return to the peak.

He left in a carefree manner. He turned around and left this underground world.

The array formation set up by Monk Anan was useless to Cangyang Jiacuo.

Although Cangyang Jiacuo was weaker than Monk Anan now, his original realm was definitely a level that Monk Anan couldn't compare to.

Hence, Monk Anan didn't dare to say anything when Cangyang Jiacuo passed freely through his array formation.

“The two of you stand guard at the side and stand guard for me. When we get out later, we will go and look for the remaining army of the Immortal Court,” Lin Jiufeng said to the two of them.

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu were very obedient. They sat obediently at the side and looked at Lin Jiufeng.

Their soul source energies were controlled by Lin Jiufeng, they had no ability to resist at all.

They were at Lin Jiufeng's mercy.

Of course, Lin Jiufeng's killing intent towards them had faded. As long as they were obedient, he wouldn't kill them. Lin Jiufeng didn't like to kill for no reason.

Closing his eyes, Lin Jiufeng used the opportunity to comprehend the Dao that he just signed in to.

Boom!

His entire consciousness directly left his body. In an instant, it was as if he had crossed millions of years and arrived at 100,000 years ago.

It was still the Great Thunderclap Temple.

It was still under the Bodhi tree.

Lin Jiufeng saw Great Emperor Shakyamuni.

Compared to the Great Emperor Shakyamuni he saw walking towards the depths of the sea with one hand supporting the ancient city, this one looked younger.

This Great Emperor Shakyamuni had just reached the Dao obtaining realm.

In front of him sat many virtual people. Their appearance and figure couldn't be seen clearly, but Lin Jiufeng could sense that they were humans.

They were humans who listened to Great Emperor Shakyamuni preach the Dao 100,000 years ago.

It was normal for Lin Jiufeng, a person who was from 100,000 years in the future, to not be able to see them clearly.

It was enough that he could see Great Emperor Shakyamuni clearly. Lin Jiufeng didn't ask for anything else.

After all, his purpose here was to listen to Great Emperor Shakyamuni preach the Dao, that's all.

Lin Jiufeng sat down at the back of the group and looked at Great Emperor Shakyamuni.

Unexpectedly, Great Emperor Shakyamuni also looked at him, smiled, and nodded slightly.

Lin Jiufeng was really surprised.

Just as he was about to greet Great Emperor Shakyamuni, Great Emperor Shakyamuni had already closed his eyes. Lotus flowers bloomed from his tongue and the Great Dao fell like rain, jumping in the air like little fairies, looking very cute.

Lin Jiufeng had just entered the Perfected Immortal Realm and didn't know much about the subsequent cultivation realms. He listened humbly and absorbed the preaching seriously.

Slowly, he blended in.

Next, he was gradually captivated.

Then, he was like a fish in water, swimming in Great Emperor Shakyamuni's Dao.

In Lin Jiufeng's senses, in this place and at this moment, there was only him and Great Emperor Shakyamuni. The others seemed to not exist.

Then, Lin Jiufeng listened to the true meaning of the Perfected Immortal Realm and the cultivation realms after that.

The nomological powers were the most important!

In the Perfected Immortal Realm, what was emphasized was no longer the cultivation realm, but the nomological powers.

The more nomological powers there were, the faster the improvement would be.

At the Perfected Immortal Realm, the more nomological powers there were, the more powerful one would become after breaking through.

Lin Jiufeng was suddenly enlightened. This was why Monk Anan was so shocked when he saw him holding the 36 Perfected Immortal nomological powers as soon as he broke through to the Perfected Immortal Realm.

In the Perfected Immortal Realm, Monk Anan had yet to recover to possessing 36 nomological powers. But Lin Jiufeng had just broken through and already had 36 nomological powers.

This was too huge of a blow to Monk Anan.

After hearing Great Emperor Shakyamuni's preaching, Lin Jiufeng was enlightened. His understanding of the path of cultivation became even deeper.

Moreover, Great Emperor Shakyamuni's Dao preaching had opened the door to a new world for Lin Jiufeng.

The door to this new world seemed to have given a new life to Lin Jiufeng. He was frantically absorbing the nutrients of the new world inside.

He was like a hungry baby frantically absorbing breast milk.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was the most nutritious thing in the world. Lin Jiufeng frantically absorbed it to replenish his Dao and his nomological powers.

His 36 Perfected Immortal nomological powers slowly expanded.

Following his comprehension, the Perfected Immortal nomological powers appeared in his hand.

37 nomological powers!

38 nomological powers!

39 Perfected Immortal nomological powers!

And so on. Lin Jiufeng was completely immersed in Great Emperor Shakyamuni's Dao.

He couldn't extricate himself from it.

He didn't even realize how much he had comprehended. In any case, he didn't refuse anything and absorbed them all. With the Great Dao before him, he was greedy and took all of these in one go.

In one bite, he ate enough to make him fat.

If it were anyone else, their bodies would have long exploded.

But Lin Jiufeng's body was tough. He was fearless and persevered tenaciously.

This opportunity of enlightenment was a rare opportunity for Lin Jiufeng.

In the Great Thunderclap Temple, under the Bodhi tree, Lin Jiufeng meditated with his eyes closed.

The aura around him fluctuated indeterminately and was constantly superimposing in layers upon layers, like layers of clouds.

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu were stunned.

“What… What happened?” Ouyang Xiu asked.

Monk Anan said in surprise, “Could it be that… Great Emperor Jiufeng is going to… break through again?”

“No way!” Ouyang Xiu couldn't believe it. “Didn't he just break through?”

Lin Jiufeng had just broken through to the Perfected Immortal Realm two or three days ago.

“Right in front of us, he crossed to the Perfected Immortal Realm from the Immortal Realm a few days ago. Moreover, the moment he broke through, he held 36 nomological powers in his hand. He's so powerful that he can't be any more powerful.” Monk Anan swallowed his saliva and looked at Lin Jiufeng enviously.

“The current him is about to break through again. Is this the standard for the Son of Destiny of this era?” Monk Anan was so envious that he drooled.

He was really jealous.

“The nomological powers have appeared in his hand!” Ouyang Xiu suddenly shouted and noticed the nomological powers in Lin Jiufeng's hand.

36 of them!

Monk Anan was envious and jealous. To be able to control 36 Perfected Immortal nomological powers as soon as he broke through was really his dream.

But suddenly, under the gazes of the two, the 37th nomological power appeared.

Monk Anan's eyes widened as he stuttered, “This… This… This… How is this possible?”

“The 37th Perfected Immortal nomological law!” Ouyang Xiu's mouth also opened wide.

They personally witnessed Lin Jiufeng's breakthrough to the Perfected Immortal Realm. Then, they personally witnessed Lin Jiufeng sitting under the Bodhi tree and cultivating for a short period of time before the 37th Perfected Immortal nomological law appeared.

“Is the nomological powers of the Perfected Immortal Realm so easy to cultivate?” Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but suspect.

But soon, reality shattered this idea.

Because he recalled how difficult it was for him to comprehend the Perfected Immortal nomological powers back in the Perfected Immortal Realm.

To be able to comprehend three Perfected Immortal nomological powers in a hundred years was already not bad.

But for Lin Jiufeng, he comprehended another Perfected Immortal nomological law in just a few days.

“Is this the difference between a mortal and a Son of Destiny?” Ouyang Xiu asked bitterly.

Monk Anan had been watching without blinking. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

When the 38th Perfected Immortal nomological power appeared, Monk Anan suddenly closed his eyes. His chest felt tight and his eyes were blurred. His jealousy had already turned into inferiority.

Ouyang Xiu was speechless as he watched in a daze.

39 Perfected Immortal nomological powers!

40 Perfected Immortal nomological powers!

41 Perfected Immortal nomological powers!

Under their gazes, the Perfected Immortal nomological powers constantly appeared, causing the two ordinary people to suffer a huge blow.

In their hearts, the fear they had for Lin Jiufeng would never ever be able to be wiped away anymore.

To them, Lin Jiufeng was a great demon king.

But Lin Jiufeng wouldn't stop his progress because of the two of them.

The Perfected Immortal nomological powers were constantly increasing. Lin Jiufeng wouldn't waste any time.

He knew that Great Emperor Shakyamuni wouldn't have much time to teach the Dao. He had to seize every second.

Under the pressure of time, he comprehended the Great Dao with all his might, constantly increasing his Perfected Immortal nomological powers.

This made things difficult for Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu in the outside world.

They personally witnessed Lin Jiufeng's Perfected Immortal nomological powers rise from 36 to 100.

In the beginning, they were surprised by this improvement. But now, their hearts had already collapsed to the point of becoming numb.

It wasn't until Lin Jiufeng broke through to 100 Perfected Immortal nomological powers that Monk Anan cried.

“He's still increasing, he hasn't stopped yet!” Monk Anan cried as he said to Ouyang Xiu.

They were really crushed.

This was an invisible comparison. Lin Jiufeng didn't know this, but Monk Anan wanted to compare himself to Lin Jiufeng.

Then, he was crushed into pieces.

“My true cultivation realm has long surpassed the Perfected Immortal Realm, but I only have 100 Perfected Immortal nomological powers at my peak. I only comprehended this amount after working hard for 3,000 years,” Monk Anan said with difficulty.

His 3,000 years' worth of hard work only took Lin Jiufeng three days.

With this gap, how could Monk Anan not cry?

“I've always thought that I'm a genius with talent that surpasses that of ordinary people, but from the looks of it, what's the difference between me and the masses?” Monk Anan doubted himself after receiving such a blow from Lin Jiufeng.

He really thought that he was very lousy, even hopeless.

Ouyang Xiu comforted him and said with a wry smile, “In front of Great Emperor Jiufeng, be it you, me, or anyone else, we are all ordinary people. The talent that we are proud of, the things that we are proud of are all not worth mentioning in front of him. If you doubt yourself because of this, then you are very wrong.”

“In this world, there are very few people who can be called Great Emperors, but each of them has amazing talents. In the past, I didn't understand what this sentence meant. Aren't there many people with amazing talents in the world, what's the difference between these people and those titled Great Emperors?”

“But now I understand.”

“Amazing talent isn't talking about you and me, nor about those people. It's talking about people like Great Emperor Jiufeng. In the history of countless generations, there were very few people like him.”

“Therefore, there's no need to feel inferior. Instead, you should be happy.”

“Just like the people of Great Emperor Shakyamuni's generation. They were proud and happy that they had met Great Emperor Shakyamuni. Now, we are so close to the Great Emperor of this generation. Isn't this even more worthy of celebration?”

Ouyang Xiu's mentality was adjusted very well. He persuaded Monk Anan logically.

Monk Anan instantly felt better.

Because once he accepted Ouyang Xiu's words, he realized that he was now very excited.

In his heart, he firmly believed that Lin Jiufeng was this generation's Great Emperor who had appeared out of nowhere. In the future, he would be an existence similar to Great Emperor Shakyamuni. Then, wasn't he lucky to be in such close contact with Lin Jiufeng now?

Thinking of this, the sadness instantly disappeared.

Monk Anan took a deep breath and said, “I shall see how many Perfected Immortal nomological powers Great Emperor Jiufeng can comprehend in the Perfected Immortal Realm.”

“There are records in history that in the Perfected Immortal Realm, the person who comprehended the most Perfected Immortal nomological powers was Great Emperor Shakyamuni. He comprehended 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers,” Ouyang Xiu said.

“The people of the world asked him why he didn't comprehend 3,000 Perfected Immortal nomological powers. Great Emperor Shakyamuni said: ‘There should always be a chance given to others. Let the people of the future generations comprehend this last nomological power. When the water is abundant, it will leak. When the moon is full, it will move on to become incomplete again. It is a principle that will never change,” Ouyang Xiu said.

“Yes. I want to see how much Great Emperor Jiufeng can comprehend now.” Monk Anan composed himself and prepared to be a historical witness.

Meanwhile, Lin Jiufeng didn't care about anything.

He just comprehended the Great Dao with all his heart. He transformed the Great Dao into the Perfected Immortal nomological powers, kneading them together and creating the Perfected Immortal nomological powers that belonged to him.

As for how many Perfected Immortal nomological powers he had now, he had no idea at all, nor did he want to pay attention to them.

In his eyes, there was only the Great Dao.

He walked on the Great Dao, holding the sun and moon. His body supported the world, making him look like a giant.

In the world of the Great Dao, Lin Jiufeng stood tall.

This point was reflected in his body. His Perfected Immortal nomological powers advanced by leaps and bounds.

Starting from 100 Perfected Immortal nomological powers, Lin Jiufeng began to run frantically like a wild horse that had escaped its reins.

It instantly reached 200 Perfected Immortal nomological powers.

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu watched as the Perfected Immortal nomological powers in Lin Jiufeng's hands increased continuously. It was simply dazzling and overwhelming.

The Perfected Immortal nomological powers were as thin as hair in Lin Jiufeng's hand. They were crystal clear, but the texture was very soft. This was a relaxed state. Once it erupted, it would be devastating.

300!

400!

500!

Under the speechless gazes of Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu, the speed at which the Perfected Immortal nomological powers erupted was simply incredible.

In just 15 minutes, the Perfected Immortal nomological powers reached 1,000.

“Can it still increase?” Monk Anan swallowed his saliva. In his heart, he turned Lin Jiufeng into a person that he could never oppose.

He now remembered that he had previously attacked Lin Jiufeng and even survived. His ancestors must have accumulated a lot of good fortune for him to be alive now.

If they hadn't seen such a terrifying person with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

After 1000 Perfected Immortal nomological powers, it stopped for about 15 seconds before advancing by leaps and bounds again.

He advanced towards the 2,000 Perfected Immortal nomological powers.

At this moment, Lin Jiufeng was like a god who descended into this world, insufferably arrogant.

It was like he had become Great Emperor Shakyamuni. With one finger pointing to the sky and the other pointing to the earth, he commanded the world. The Great Dao was extremely simple to him, and the Perfected Immortal nomological powers were his for the taking.

Lin Jiufeng, who was in his soul form, had no idea what was happening in the outside world. He listened to the Dao in front of Great Emperor Shakyamuni, and his entire being was immersed in it.

It was as if a drowning person suddenly grabbed a log and hugged it tightly, unwilling to let go.

This piece of wood that he was carrying was the Great Dao that Great Emperor Shakyamuni was preaching about.

The Great Dao was extremely simple, the Great Dao was like a river, the Great Dao surged, the Great Dao was like a tide, and the Great Dao was like a volcano erupting.

Lin Jiufeng absorbed all of this.

His Perfected Immortal nomological powers instantly jumped to 2,000 in number.

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu were already numb.

They were now looking forward to whether Lin Jiufeng would be able to break Great Emperor Shakyamuni's record of 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers.

If he could reach the same level as Great Emperor Shakyamuni, then in their hearts, the potential of Lin Jiufeng, the current Great Emperor, was really terrifying.

“Perhaps in our lifetimes, we will be able to see another powerhouse that will be forever remembered in history rise up,” Monk Anan suddenly said with emotion.

Ouyang Xiu nodded. “That's right. Even the Immortal Court at its peak was also weaker than Great Emperor Shakyamuni. If Great Emperor Jiufeng can successfully rise up, then this era will be the best era.”

They watched the changes in the Perfected Immortal nomological powers bit by bit.

After breaking through to 2,000 nomological powers, his speed didn't slow down at all.

It soared all the way up to a critical point.

2,990 Perfected Immortal nomological powers.

At this moment, Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu were even more nervous than Lin Jiufeng. They watched anxiously, not daring to blink, afraid that they would miss this opportunity to witness history.

“2,991!” Ouyang Xiu counted.

“2,992!” Monk Anan counted.

“2,993!” Ouyang Xiu counted.

“2,994!”

“2,995!”

“2,996!”

“2,997!”

“2,998!”

Only one more was needed to reach Great Emperor Shakyamuni's level. Their eyes widened like copper bells without blinking.

“2,999!”

The two of them counted together. After counting, they seemed to have become depleted of their energy as they watched in a daze. Their shocked hearts didn't know how to express themselves at all.

Just now, they personally witnessed Lin Jiufeng's Perfected Immortal nomological powers rise from 36 to 2,999 within two hours.

This was a miracle.

“I mustn't have any conflict with Great Emperor Jiufeng for the rest of my life,” Ouyang Xiu suddenly said.

Monk Anan agreed with this statement.

“From now on, I will be Great Emperor Jiufeng's most loyal subordinate. I will definitely be a part of his cheering team!” Ouyang Xiu continued.

Lin Jiufeng had no idea that he had completely intimidated these two just now.

He only placed his attention on comprehending Great Emperor Shakyamuni's Dao.

Time passed quietly.

Two hours passed.

The Bodhi Tree, Great Emperor Shakyamuni, and the 3,000 listeners in front of Lin Jiufeng disappeared.

He felt his Primordial Spirit tremble as it directly fell into the endless abyss.

The mortal realm!

After falling from the clouds, his Primordial Spirit returned to his body. Lin Jiufeng felt a huge force pour into his body. He opened his chest comfortably and saw the 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers surrounding his palm.

Compared to the 36 Perfected Immortal nomological powers from before, it was simply too magnificent.

Releasing his hand, the Perfected Immortal nomological powers circled Lin Jiufeng.

It was colorful and beautiful, revealing its uniqueness and power.

All of this surprised Lin Jiufeng.

“I actually comprehended so much.”

Lin Jiufeng only remembered that he had been comprehending the Dao taught by Great Emperor Shakyamuni and didn't pay attention to these at all.

A pleasant surprise!

Monk Anan immediately said, “Great Emperor Jiufeng, do you know who has comprehended the most number of Perfected Immortal nomological powers in history?”

Lin Jiufeng shook his head. He slowly absorbed the Perfected Immortal nomological powers into his body and stored them in his limbs and bones, causing his body's strength to rise once again.

“Who is it?” Lin Jiufeng looked at Monk Anan.

“Great Emperor Shakyamuni!” Monk Anan said.

“How much has Great Emperor Shakyamuni comprehended?” Lin Jiufeng wasn't surprised. He only comprehended so much because Great Emperor Shakyamuni preached the Dao to him. Wouldn't it be normal for Great Emperor Shakyamuni to comprehend even more?

“2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers!” Monk Anan said loudly.

Lin Jiufeng was stunned. “The same as me?”

Monk Anan nodded excitedly. “That's right, it's exactly the same as you. Great Emperor Shakyamuni said that there are 3,000 Great Dao. Letting one of them escape, comprehending 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers is already enough.”

“But now, your comprehension is the same as Great Emperor Shakyamuni's. It's both 2,999. This means that your talent and achievement definitely won't be lower than Great Emperor Shakyamuni's,” Ouyang Xiu said flatteringly.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and said, “I can't compare to Great Emperor Shakyamuni's achievements now. Even if we have the same number of Perfected Immortal nomological powers, it doesn't mean anything. Don't flatter me.”

Lin Jiufeng knew very well that these Perfected Immortal nomological powers of his could be said to have been inherited from Great Emperor Shakyamuni.

But he didn't expect this.

He didn't expect to comprehend all of Great Emperor Shakyamuni's Perfected Immortal nomological powers.

He felt a little embarrassed.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, you can now break through to the Mystic Immortal Realm,” Monk Anan reminded.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and said, “I have no intention of breaking through now.”

The energy in his body was far from reaching its peak!

Lin Jiufeng felt that he should be able to take another step forward in the Perfected Immortal Realm.

This step forward was incomparably precious to Lin Jiufeng.

He didn't want to abandon the potential to become stronger just to break through early.

“Why not?” Ouyang Xiu asked curiously.

“Regardless of whether I break through or not, isn't it easy for me to kill someone in the Mystic Immortal Realm?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“This is true. Once the 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers erupt together, the Mystic Immortals won't be able to withstand them.” Monk Anan nodded honestly.

“Isn't that enough? I've only just accumulated 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers and haven't understood them well enough yet. Why should I be in a hurry to break through?” Lin Jiufeng countered.

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu stopped talking.

Lin Jiufeng had a point!

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, now that you have 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers, what are you going to do next?” Monk Anan changed the subject.

“Find that army from the Immortal Court on the Western Desert,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.

Ouyang Xiu immediately patted his chest and guaranteed. “I will definitely do my best to help you find the remnants of the Immortal Court.”

Lin Jiufeng looked at Ouyang Xiu strangely.

Those people were described as the remnants of the Immortal Court now?

Ouyang Xiu shouted without changing his expression, “Great Emperor Jiufeng is the number one in the world. In this era, all of us should follow the rules of this era. The Immortal Court has already been wiped out 20,000 years ago. I also died for the Immortal Court once. I don't owe the Immortal Court anything. I want to live for myself this time.”

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, Ouyang Xiu is willing to join the Yuhua God Dynasty and follow in your footsteps. I will do my best for the Human Race, regardless of the cost,” Ouyang Xiu suddenly knelt down and said loudly and impassionedly.

Lin Jiufeng and Monk Anan were stunned.

Wasn't this change too fast?

Three days ago, Ouyang Xiu was still a diehard fan of the Immortal Court, swearing to rebuild the Immortal Court.

Three days later, he knelt in front of Lin Jiufeng and shouted loudly that he would sacrifice his life for the Human Race no matter what.

This act stunned Monk Anan.

Monk Anan knelt down too.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, now that the secrets of the Great Thunderclap Temple have already been discovered by you, I have no home to return to. I'm willing to follow in your footsteps and be a pious protector of the Yuhua God Dynasty, the Human Race, and the people of the world,” Monk Anan said with a righteous look.

Lin Jiufeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hand and said, “You can follow me if you want, but don't just say it, you have to prove it with actions.”

“I will see what you guys do, not listen to what you guys have to say, understand?”

“A thousand words isn't as effective as doing one thing, so I want to see what you guys are going to do next.”

Lin Jiufeng said to Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, don't worry. Watch carefully and see what we brothers will do next,” Ouyang Xiu said excitedly.

He decided that once he went out, he would immediately find the army hidden in the Western Desert and directly betray them.

‘It's better for others to die instead of myself. Therefore, I'm sorry, but I am going to rebel.'

Monk Anan also had the same plan. He wouldn't be considered rebelling since he wasn't from the Immortal Court, he was just considered to be seeking refuge with Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng didn't stay in the Great Thunderclap Temple for long. He directly left the depths of the underground.

The empty Great Thunderclap Temple was no longer worthy of being missed.

Up to this stage, even Cangyang Jiacuo wouldn't miss the Great Thunderclap Temple. Lin Jiufeng also wouldn't stay here for long.

Arriving in the desert of the Western Desert, Lin Jiufeng looked at Ouyang Xiu.

“Find the location of the Immortal Court's army,” Lin Jiufeng said solemnly.

He wouldn't let his guard down in such a crisis. Once he was careless and let them be, he would definitely regret it.

Ouyang Xiu nodded decisively and said, “Great Emperor Jiufeng, just wait for our good news. Monk Anan and I will take our leave first.”

Lin Jiufeng watched them leave. No matter what, their soul source energies were still in his hands, he wasn't worried about their betrayal at all.

Hence, he allowed Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan to run away at high speed as they searched for the location of the Immortal Court's army.

He himself quickly arrived at an oasis. Then, he found an inn and ordered a pot of wine. He sat in a corner and closed his eyes to rest.

Actually, he was comprehending the Perfected Immortal nomological powers in his body.

There were too many of them.

To Lin Jiufeng, increasing the nomological powers to 2,999 in such a short time was extremely satisfying.

But now that he had gained control of these Perfected Immortal nomological powers, it would take quite a lot of brainpower to properly integrate them.

Lin Jiufeng pondered silently.

He had plenty of time, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Moreover, Lin Jiufeng wasn't in a hurry to break through to the Mystic Immortal Realm.

“I have a hunch that the Escaped One that Great Emperor Shakyamuni let go of might be needed for me to break through to the Mystic Immortal Realm!” Lin Jiufeng said.

The Escaped One, in this case, was the nomological power that Great Emperor Shakyamuni didn't comprehend.

Or perhaps Great Emperor Shakyamuni didn't choose to comprehend it and let it go on his own accord.

There was a saying in the ancient era: The Great Dao numbered 50 in total, the heavens created 49 of it.

But when it came to the era of Great Emperor Shakyamuni, it became the 3,000 Great Dao, with one of it as the Escaped One.

Meaning that one mustn't do things to the extreme and should leave an opportunity or chance of escape for others.

This was Great Emperor Shakyamuni's principle.

But this wasn't Lin Jiufeng's.

His character, the path he walked, and his goal were actually quite different from Great Emperor Shakyamuni's.

Although Lin Jiufeng had comprehended 2,999 Perfected Immortal nomological powers from Great Emperor Shakyamuni's Dao, they were ultimately people with different personalities.

Hence, the path of Great Emperor Shakyamuni wasn't suitable for Lin Jiufeng.

‘The current me is like a bucket filled with water. I just need to add another drop of water and it will overflow. This last drop of water is the Escaped One!' Lin Jiufeng's heart was like a mirror.

He was clear of his path now.

In the inn in the oasis, he stayed there quietly, thinking, exploring, feeling around, and also waiting.

He waited for news from Ouyang Xiu and Monk Anan.

Days passed and Lin Jiufeng stayed in this inn.

He was like an ordinary person, watching the sunrise and sunset every day. Then, he would combine the Perfected Immortal nomological powers that he had comprehended to form an even stronger might.

At the same time, he was also trying to comprehend the Escaped One.

But the Escaped One was very difficult to comprehend, Lin Jiufeng had no clue about it at all.

There was also no place to trigger a sign-in in this oasis.

But Lin Jiufeng wasn't impatient. He was already more than a hundred years old and had long passed the stage of being anxious or impatient.

The time period lasted for a week.

Lin Jiufeng finally received Ouyang Xiu's message.

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, we found the location of the Immortal Court's army. It's at the Broken Cliff Mountain Range of the Western Desert!” This was the news that was transmitted through the source energy of his soul. After Lin Jiufeng learned of this, he calmly looked at the owner of the inn and asked.

“Lady Boss, do you know where the Broken Cliff Mountain Range of the Western Desert is?”

The beautiful shop owner was already familiar with Lin Jiufeng. He had lived here for a week. Although she didn't know Lin Jiufeng's origins, Lin Jiufeng's harmless appearance and gentle scholar-like temperament made her feel a sense of intimacy with him.

“Scholar, you want to go to the Broken Cliff Mountain Range?” The beautiful shop owner asked in surprise.

“Yes, I want to go to the Broken Cliff Mountain Range!” Lin Jiufeng replied with a smile.

He didn't mention his name. They had been calling him Scholar for the past week.

Lin Jiufeng didn't mind.

“I know about the Broken Cliff Mountain Range, but it's very far from here. Moreover, it's very dangerous over there. That's a burial ground that even the Buddhist sects of the Western Desert can't handle. Many powerhouses went in and then never came out again.” The beautiful shop owner's meaning was obvious. She was telling Lin Jiufeng not to go.

Lin Jiufeng just looked at the beautiful owner with a smile.

His attitude was clear.

The beautiful shop owner still wanted to persuade Lin Jiufeng, but the old male owner at the side glared at her and shouted, “If you keep going north and travel for tens of thousands of miles, you will reach the Broken Cliff Mountain Range. Hurry up and go, don't waste time.”

The male owner had grown a hatred for Lin Jiufeng over this week.

He was so handsome and was even a scholar, attracting his wife who was as beautiful as a flower and tens of years younger than him.

He was really afraid that Lin Jiufeng would give him a green hat. He had heard from others that scholars loved to do this.

Lin Jiufeng shook his head and laughed. He wasn't angry. Instead, he said to the lady owner, “See you never again!”

In the very next moment, the beautiful shop owner wanted to say something, but Lin Jiufeng stepped out. Space instantly tore apart, devouring him and disappearing from the inn.

Momentarily, the male and female owners were shocked.

“Tearing apart space, this… this is an immortal!” The male owner said shakily.

“Well done, you are jealous of an immortal, that's really blind of you. He's so noble and has such a unique temperament. One look and I can tell that he isn't an ordinary person. Therefore, I was a little warmer to him, but you actually suspected me. Are you still human?” The beautiful shop owner instantly scolded with a frown.

The male shop owner hurriedly obsequiously appeased her in a very experienced manner.

After Lin Jiufeng left the oasis, everything remained the same. He only stayed for a short while.

The Broken Cliff Mountain Range!

This was the evilest place in the Western Desert.

The endless mountains were cut off from the middle. The horizontal surface was very smooth, like a mirror.

The Broken Cliff Mountain Range was shrouded in boundless white fog all day long, and no one could see what was happening inside.

In the dark night, it became a black fog and was accompanied by the neigh of horse hooves, the clanging of swords, and the sound of banners fluttering.

Some powerhouses wanted to go in and explore what was inside.

But every time, the people who went in never came out.

That was why everyone called the Broken Cliff Mountain Range a very evil place.

Lin Jiufeng tore through space and came here. He saw Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu who were guarding the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.

“Have you confirmed that the Immortal Court's army is here?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Yes, I'm sure. The energy left in my body by the supreme treasure, the Eternal Dragon Boat, sensed them,” Ouyang Xiu said firmly.

He raised his left hand, emitting a luster that formed the word [Immortal].

Lin Jiufeng wasn't in a hurry to go in. Instead, he asked Monk Anan, “What's the background of this Broken Cliff Mountain Range? I heard that it's a very strange place in the Western Desert.”

Monk Anan said, “The Broken Cliff Mountain Range appeared in the Western Desert 20,000 years ago. For so many years, it has always been very strange. It's just that I've always been obsessed with the Buddhist teachings of the Buddhist sects and the Great Thunderclap Temple that I've never paid attention to this place.”

“According to rumors, there are Netherworld soldiers guarding this place. Those who enter are all sent to the 18 Levels of Hell, unable to escape. That's why this place is labeled as dangerous.”

“But I used to think that this was a very absurd rumor, so I was too lazy to pay attention to it. It wasn't until Ouyang Xiu said that the army of the Immortal Court was inside that I remembered this matter. It's very possible that the Netherworld soldiers that the common people are talking about are the army of the Immortal Court.”

Monk Anan explained to Lin Jiufeng.

“Then, this means that this army of the Immortal Court is actually alive?” Lin Jiufeng frowned.

This wasn't good news.

If the army of the Immortal Court was still alive, then it would be very troublesome. Although Lin Jiufeng was very powerful now, he was still under a lot of pressure to fight against an army of the Immortal Court head-on.

“But if they are alive, why aren't they coming out?” Ouyang Xiu asked curiously.

“For example, the moment I reincarnated and returned, I wanted to go out and restore the glory of the Immortal Court. It wasn't until I met Great Emperor Jiufeng that I changed my mind.”

“If this army is still alive, why did they not come out but instead stayed inside? This place is eerie and terrifying, staying here for too long will cause psychological problems.”

Ouyang Xiu analyzed.

“True. Let's go in and take a look then.” Lin Jiufeng's expression was firm. Even if the Immortal Court army was still alive, he also wanted to go in and see who was stronger, him or them.

With this in mind, Lin Jiufeng stepped into the Broken Cliff Mountain Range.

Boom!

He had just stepped into the Broken Cliff Mountain Range when the sky suddenly darkened. The scene of white smoke rising immediately turned gloomy and sinister.

In an instant, the Broken Cliff Mountain Range seemed to have become a Ghost Realm. It was very terrifying.

As Lin Jiufeng walked in, he felt that infinite Yin energy was about to surge into his body and erode his blood energy and Yang energy.

The Yin energy roared angrily as it constantly changed. One moment, it was a human face, and the next moment, it was a terrifying ghostly creature that let out a shriek. It was extremely terrifying.

Those who were timid would definitely be frightened.

But Lin Jiufeng walked past indifferently the entire time. He was completely unafraid and let the Yin energy enter his body.

When the Yin energy seeped in, it was immediately assimilated and became Lin Jiufeng's energy.

He walked in the Broken Cliff Mountain Range, followed by Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu.

The two of them put up their defensive shields. Their strengths weren't as terrifying as Lin Jiufeng's. This Yin energy was really terrifying. Once the two of them were careless, they would be devoured.

This was also the terrifying aspect of this place.

As Lin Jiufeng walked, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.

It wasn't fast and was very rhythmic as if it was right in front of his eyes.

Monk Anan and Ouyang Xiu looked around cautiously. Their divine souls couldn't spread far in this place that was shrouded in Yin energy.

Only Lin Jiufeng was unafraid. He directly raised his head and took a step forward.

Boom!

The aura around Lin Jiufeng's body trembled and instantly spread for tens of miles, dissipating the Yin energy and revealing the true appearance of this place.

In front of them, there was a skeleton riding a horse. It held a spear in its hand, and its eyes flickered with flames as it stared at Lin Jiufeng and the others.

Killing intent surged!
