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

Chapter 133: In front of Emperor Yuan’s Tomb

Lin Jiufeng left through the sword light, leaving the middle-aged man and Princess Yulin on their own in their journey back to the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Even after he left, Lin Jiufeng didn’t even know the middle-aged man’s name.

But he didn’t have to know.

The middle-aged man was just one of the countless opponents he defeated, that’s all.

Watching Princess Yulin leave with the seriously injured middle-aged man, Lin Jiufeng was relieved.

“The Empress Dowager’s insomnia should finally be cured. This is also me honoring my word to Emperor Ming…” Lin Jiufeng sighed.

“That middle-aged man is so powerful. If I was the one in front of him earlier, I wouldn’t even be able to withstand a single move from him. But you only struck out so lightly and yet he immediately spat out mouthfuls of blood. Just how strong are you today?”

The white cat was very curious about the height of Lin Jiufeng’s current cultivation base.

When they first met, they were in the same realm.

But after a few decades, the gap between Lin Jiufeng and the white cat had widened to the point that it resembled the gap between the abyss and the sky.

Just how powerful was Lin Jiufeng?

The white cat really wanted to know.

“Actually… I’m not that powerful,” Lin Jiufeng replied as he stood by the sea.

The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng suspiciously.

“When you’ve arrived in my realm, you will realize that this world is more complicated than you think. I am far from being invincible.” Lin Jiufeng added honestly.

“Since you said that this world is very complicated, does that mean that there’s someone out there that is stronger than you?” The white cat asked curiously.

“So far? No one.” Lin Jiufeng thought seriously for a while before he answered.

The white cat looked at Lin Jiufeng solemnly.

Meow!

She suddenly extended her claws, wanting to scratch Lin Jiufeng.

Despite saying such shameless words, his expression could actually remain so stoic?

Lin Jiufeng grabbed her claws and rubbed them against his hand with a smile. “Just because there isn’t one now doesn’t mean that there won’t be one in the future. The curtain of this era has only just risen. Many people are waiting for the opportune moment to hop into the scene.”

The white cat’s claws were in Lin Jiufeng’s hands.

She allowed Lin Jiufeng to play with them as she asked, “Then, where do you plan to go now?”

“I’m going back to the Imperial Capital!” Lin Jiufeng replied.

“I thought you wanted to see the world?” The white cat was confused.

Since he wanted to see the world, there was no need for him to return to the Imperial Capital anymore.

Lin Jiufeng’s gaze was deep as he replied, “I want to visit Emperor Yuan.”

After entering seclusion, Lin Jiufeng had never once visited Emperor Yuan.

Now that he had decided to go take a look at the world, he decided to visit Emperor Yuan before anything else.

Meow!

The white cat stopped asking questions.

She knew that Lin Jiufeng’s relationship with Emperor Yuan was very good.

After saving Princess Yulin and taking a good look at the sea, Lin Jiufeng turned around and brought the white cat back to the Imperial Capital.

The timing of their return to the imperial capital was about the same as Princess Yulin’s, one arrived shortly after the other.

Princess Yulin arrived first, and Lin Jiufeng the second.

It was mainly because Lin Jiufeng was enjoying the scenery along the way and wasn’t in a hurry to travel.

In any case, Emperor Yuan was beneath the royal cemetery, it wasn’t like he could escape.

Lin Jiufeng wasn’t in a hurry.

So when he returned to the Imperial Capital, it was already bustling with so much activity.

Princess Yulin who had been suppressed for a year actually returned on her own.

The captured Princess Yulin managed to return on her own!

On top of that, she also severely injured the overseas middle-aged swordsman who caused a ruckus in the world back then.

And she even brought him back with her!

The revelation shocked everyone.

A year ago—the peerless genius of the Yuhua God Dynasty, the pride of the dynasty, the doting younger sister of Emperor De, and the fairy-like Princess Yulin—agreed to a duel with a swordsman from overseas.

Everyone had paid attention to that duel back then!

But the result caused an uproar throughout the world.

Princess Yulin only lasted three moves before the nameless swordsman.

After three moves, she was suppressed and captured.

The result bore chaos among the people.

A group of people ridiculed the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The stable Yuhua God Dynasty had begun to show cracks once again.

If it weren’t for the war machine that hindered the middle-aged swordsman’s actions, the Yuhua God Dynasty would’ve suffered a great catastrophe.

A year ago, the war machine became the symbol of faith in the hearts of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s people.

A year had passed since then, everyone in the Yuhua God Dynasty and the world was about to forget the fact that Princess Yulin was still being held captive.

But no one expected that Princess Yulin would actually come back with such grandeur.

She severely injured the person who held her captive and even brought him back to the imperial capital with her.

The entire Imperial Capital was thrown into yet again, another uproar.

Many people surrounded Princess Yulin, their large numbers filled the southern gate of the Imperial Capital to the brim that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

The street was filled with a five-kilometer-long entourage of curious commoners that wanted to witness Princess Yulin’s beauty. Of course, they also wanted to look at the middle-aged swordsman who captured her last year.

When Emperor De found out that Princess Yulin had returned, he immediately came out of the Forbidden City and personally welcomed her.

He was overjoyed, to say the least.

The siblings that were separated from each other for over a year cried in joy and hugged each other in front of the entire world.

The entire Imperial Capital was basked in a celebratory mood.

They rejoiced in the name of Princess Yulin.

Their voices shook the sky.

Among these fanatical people, a calm Lin Jiufeng walked past.

He sealed his ears, too lazy to listen to the deafening cheers.

The fervor around him and Lin Jiufeng’s calmness formed a sharp contrast.

But no one noticed. Everyone was looking at Princess Yulin.

Emperor De saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes.

Emperor De’s face lit up. He quickly turned his head, but he couldn’t find the figure anymore.

Lin Jiufeng’s figure had completely disappeared amidst the crowd.

Emperor De frowned as he looked at the fervent crowd around him.

But in the end, he didn’t call out.

…

The noise of the outside world, the fanaticism of the people, and the celebratory mood of everyone—all of these had nothing to do with Lin Jiufeng.

He didn’t return to the Cold Palace.

He came to the royal cemetery and saw two simple tombs side by side.

Their tombs were simple and unsophisticated, unlike the other emperors.

Lin Jiufeng walked to the tomb of Emperor Yuan. He put his palms together and bowed.

“Brother… Big Brother is here to see you,” Lin Jiufeng called out softly.

He looked at the fallen leaves and the weeds that grew tenaciously.

Lin Jiufeng personally cleaned them up.

He didn’t use his True Qi.

Instead, he cleaned them up physically.

He cleaned the entire cemetery for both Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

Then, Lin Jiufeng stood in front of Emperor Yuan’s tomb.

His expression remained calm.

It has been 50 to 60 years since Emperor Yuan died.

Seeing his tomb, Lin Jiufeng definitely didn’t feel sad at all.

In contrast, he was at peace!

Yes…

At peace.

Time healed all wounds.

Since Emperor Yuan’s death, Lin Jiufeng’s visit to the royal cemetery could only be counted by one hand.

At his first visit. He was afraid that he couldn’t handle the sadness.

But now, he knew that the souls of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming had reincarnated into a new world

These tombs merely held their corpses.

So there was nothing to be sad about.

“Your grandson, Emperor De, managed the Yuhua God Dynasty very well. I think he’s even better than you as the Emperor.” Lin Jiufeng teased with a smile.

“With him around in the Yuhua God Dynasty, I’m relieved. He’s in good health and didn’t mess around like his Grandpa Emperor and Father Emperor. In this brand-new era filled with abundant spiritual energy, living for a thousand years wouldn’t be a problem for him at all.”

“With the Yuhua God Dynasty in his hands, I am at ease. You guys can rest assured too.”

Lin Jiufeng said to Emperor Yuan.

But he also criticized Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming.

Their reckless actions had contributed to their early deaths after all.

“Oh right, my strength has improved tremendously since then and I’m also cultivating that Fate Changing Technique. My cultivation speed is also fast. I can feel that it’s not long until I can execute the technique…” Lin Jiufeng softly added.

When he first received the Fate Changing Technique, he didn’t see any hope at all.

But now, he could at least see hope.

With hope, everything was possible.
