Chapter 279: The Life During the Five Decay (Part 5)

After successfully passing the first decay, Lin Jiufeng injected the strange energy gained from burning those mysterious creatures into his body in one go.

His already dead-like body was slowly recovering as this strange energy flowed into his body like a trickle.

His life force was slowly recovering too.

It was like a lake that had been dry all year round finally receiving rainwater.

It was like an extinguished volcano welcoming the fire of the earth’s core.

It was like a couple who had both been single for 30 years experiencing sexual intercourse for the first time.

The resulting explosion was unstoppable.

This was Lin Jiufeng’s current condition.

His body was rapidly recovering. He could already sit up. After a while, he could stand up and walk. Although his body was still very old, Lin Jiufeng felt that he was becoming younger.

That night, Lin Jiufeng came to the courtyard trembling. He sat on a recliner, wrapped in his clothes, and looked at the moonlight. His mood was serene.

Having passed the first decay, he had already completed the most severe step. To the current Lin Jiufeng, the following difficulties were nothing much.

He was completely confident that he could tide through the remaining steps.

[Defeated the Mysteries of the Void. Do you wish to Sign in?]

These words appeared before Lin Jiufeng’s eyes as he laid quietly.

Lin Jiufeng agreed without hesitation.

[Sign-In successful. Received Spring of Life!]

Lin Jiufeng was quite curious as to what this Spring of Life was?

He stretched out his hand. A surging spring appeared in his palm, flowing with clear and transparent spring water.

“The Spring of Life can repair one’s life force!”

There was only this sentence regarding the introduction of the Spring of Life, but it revealed a lot of information.

Repairing a person’s life force, how exactly does this repair work?

Lin Jiufeng placed the surging Spring of Life on the ground. Suddenly, a huge chunk of the ground collapsed, forming a spring river. The Spring of Life constantly rolled and multiplied inside, and the aura of life surged.

Lin Jiufeng jumped down into the huge pit. He immediately felt all the pores in his body instantly open. Endless energy entered his body. He had felt his tattered body being slowly repaired to its peak condition.

In the blink of an eye, his dry hair fell off and black hair grew once again. His already relaxed skin began to tighten, and the age spots quickly disappeared. In a short period of time, he became at least 20 years younger.

This change was still continuing.

‘As expected of the Spring of Life. My Wheel of Life has already been completely repaired. It only needs one night to recover to its peak.’ Lin Jiufeng said with emotion in his heart.

He soaked in the Spring of Life and frantically absorbed its energy.

This night, Lin Jiufeng went from 100 years old to 18 years old.

He really became young now.

The next day, when the sun came out, Lin Jiufeng stood up from the Spring of Life. His entire being was reborn, and there was a sense of immortality on him now as compared to before.

Surrounded by immortal energy, Lin Jiufeng clenched his fist. Under the accumulation of power, he executed a cultivation technique.

But it had no power at all.

The second decay, the shrinking of the cultivation technique.

Powerful cultivation techniques that could shake the void would shrink under the great calamity, their might greatly reduced.

Now, Lin Jiufeng’s might wasn’t just greatly reduced. He directly lost his might.

“As expected, my Five Decay of the Celestial Being far exceeds that of ordinary people.” Lin Jiufeng was already mentally prepared, so he wasn’t too surprised.

He didn’t try his other cultivation techniques. In any case, he could now live a normal life.

His body had recovered to its peak. Lin Jiufeng only lost his terrifying cultivation techniques and his invincible might, that’s all.

What was there to be sad about? It was much better than lying on a bed like a weak old man who couldn’t do anything, okay?

Lin Jiufeng looked at the Spring of Life and muttered to himself, “This is a good thing, a treasure for treating injuries. But it’s useless to me now. I’ll just leave it here.”

Just like that, Lin Jiufeng placed such a treasure in the courtyard, too lazy to put it away.

In any case, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to discover this Cold Palace, let alone enter.

After having stayed in his room for a few days, Lin Jiufeng now finally walked out of the Cold Palace and entered the streets of the imperial capital. He looked at the people coming and going, at the ups and downs of the world, at the myriad changes in the world, and his mentality was different from before.

For him, it was equivalent to dying once and coming back to life. He treasured such a life.

After eating, drinking, and listening to some music, Lin Jiufeng returned to the Cold Palace leisurely.

The second decay of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being had no effect on Lin Jiufeng at all.

The effect of the decay was extremely huge on him, but it was so easy for him to handle. Countless people would be envious if they knew about this.

But before Lin Jiufeng could be carefree for even a day, before the second decay ended, the third decay arrived.

His spiritual perception was wiped out. His spiritual consciousness would be locked in his body under the third decay. All his comprehension of the outside world would be cut off.

Lin Jiufeng had lost the ability to sense the world with his Primordial Spirit and everything else. Moreover, due to the strengthening of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being, his five senses also disappeared.

He was now blind, couldn’t taste anything, couldn’t smell anything, was deaf in the ears, and his divine soul couldn’t spread out. He was locked in a small dark house.

If it were anyone else, they might be surprised and alarmed by this calamity, but Lin Jiufeng was indifferent. He had lived in the Cold Palace for decades and was very familiar with the bricks and tiles here. He only relied on his memory to walk in the Cold Palace without any difficulty.

In fact, he was even in the mood to sigh with emotion and said, “Fortunately, I’ve gone out not long ago and experienced the ups and downs of the world. All of this is nothing to me. Although you trapped my Primordial Spirit and sealed my five senses, to me, you’re just letting me calm down my heart and comprehend the Great Dao quietly.”

Lin Jiufeng really went to comprehend the Great Dao. He studied carefully the Great Dao he had learned and accumulated his strength bit by bit.

Like this, another few days passed. Perhaps it was because the Five Decay of the Celestial Being noticed that Lin Jiufeng wasn’t affected at all. His mentality was very stable, and he wasn’t anxious or worried. This should be the first time that the Five Decay of the Celestial Being had encountered such a situation. Therefore, before the second and third decay had passed, the fourth decay already arrived.

The stink of the Primordial Spirit. After experiencing the baptism of the mortal world and the strike of the lightning tribulation, the Primordial Spirit was already tempered. Under this great calamity, the Primordial Spirit would be locked in the Spirit Platform and suddenly stink. It would no longer have any other use.

On this night, lightning flashed and heavy rain fell in the imperial capital.

The heavy rain crashed onto the ground of the imperial capital, causing water to splash everywhere. The thunder was endless. Half of the sky was filled with lightning. Sometimes, it would hide in the dark clouds, sometimes it would appear and strike the void. It scared many common people to hide at home, waiting for the heavy rain to disappear.

It was just that they didn’t observe it. If they looked carefully, they would discover that the lightning tribulation this time had all struck in one place.

The Cold Palace!

It was just that the Cold Palace was shrouded by the [Light of the Homes], outsiders couldn’t see it, so not many people discovered that someone was transcending the tribulation.

Only the top powerhouses in the Forbidden City discovered it.

Monk Fusan was worried about Emperor De’s safety. He appeared in the imperial study and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Emperor De quietly reviewing a memorial regarding the reforms.

“There’s no need to be nervous, Bhante,” Emperor De said gently when he saw Monk Fusan.

“Who is transcending the tribulation in the imperial capital?” Monk Fusan asked curiously.

Outsiders couldn’t see it, but he was a False Immortal. How could he not see it?

The arrival of the heavy rain this time was too abnormal. The lightning tribulation struck down one after another, unlike the usual lightning.

Monk Fusan immediately knew that someone was transcending the tribulation.

But the False Immortal was transcending the tribulation in the imperial capital. This wasn’t allowed by Emperor De. There were too many common people in the imperial capital now. Just a slight mistake and a large area of damage would be caused.

Hence, Emperor De had already issued the order that the False Immortals had to leave the imperial capital to transcend the tribulation and return after it ended.

Who could disobey Emperor De’s orders and transcend the tribulation in the imperial city at a moment where the prestige of the Yuhua God Dynasty was at its highest?

And Emperor De was also not angry?

Monk Fusan looked at Emperor De suspiciously.

“Bhante, there’s no need to worry. He’s one of us,” Emperor De smiled gently and said.

In the entire imperial capital, only Emperor De knew that Lin Jiufeng had returned and lived in the Cold Palace. Now that such a change had happened in the imperial capital, the only explanation was that Lin Jiufeng was transcending the tribulation.

Hence, Emperor De didn’t intervene and quietly handled his own matters.

Monk Fusan understood. This might be Emperor De’s trump card. Since Emperor De wasn’t harmed, he didn’t have to worry. He directly left and returned to his temple hall to calmly comprehend the Great Dao.

Tonight, not only Monk Fusan, but the other powerhouses also discovered this change.

But there was no news from the Forbidden City, so they just watched quietly.

Princess Yulin and Bai Tiandi stood together and looked at the place where lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

“That’s Mr. Lin’s Cold Palace?” Bai Tiandi asked in surprise.

“Yes, it seems that my Big Grand-Uncle has returned, but why didn’t I know about this?” Princess Yulin nodded.

“Since Mr. Lin doesn’t want you to know, then he doesn’t want anyone to disturb him. Let’s just watch quietly. Emperor De didn’t give any orders, which means that he has already guessed it,” Bai Tiandi said.

“It’s not that he has guessed it. He definitely knows something, but he just didn’t tell me. He just wants me to cultivate in peace and not let me care about anything else.” Princess Yulin immediately saw through Emperor De’s thinking.

They were a pair of siblings born from the same mother’s womb, Princess Yulin was really familiar with Emperor De and understood him very well.

“In that case, let’s just focus on our cultivation. Although we can’t become Mr. Lin’s support, it’s still worth it to become the Yuhua God Dynasty’s support,” Bai Tiandi held Princess Yulin’s hand and said softly.

“Yes!” Princess Yulin nodded. She thought so too.

That night, many powerhouses didn’t sleep. Instead, they watched quietly in the distance. The lightning tribulation fell for most of the night. It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that it slowly stopped.

Only the rainwater continued to smash onto the ground, creating one splash after another.

The Cold Palace!

Lin Jiufeng stretched his body.

After being struck for most of the night, he felt refreshed and unaffected. It had to be said that after experiencing the cycle of life, illness, and death, then being nourished by the Spring of Life, all these had made him become extremely powerful.

During the fourth decay of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being, the lightning tribulation came crashing down and struck him for most of the night, but nothing happened.

It was as if bathing in the lightning tribulation was a piece of cake for him.

The current Lin Jiufeng was just this powerful.

Even though his Primordial Spirit had already started to emit a foul smell, being locked in his spiritual consciousness, it didn’t affect Lin Jiufeng’s appearance at all.

‘The fourth decay of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being has passed. Next is the fifth decay. Come, no need to wait, I still want to see what other tricks you have?’ Lin Jiufeng sneered and muttered in his heart. He still couldn’t speak now.

But this was just a small matter, it didn’t matter.

He was waiting for the fifth decay.

The fifth decay was the Dao Fruit. This was the most dangerous decay. It would crush the Dao Fruit and make those transcending the tribulation wish they were dead.

Lin Jiufeng’s Dao Fruit had always been very stable. If it could be shattered, he could even rebuild his Dao Fruit.

Bai Tiandi’s cultivation technique of See Immortality in the Cycle of Reincarnation was simply too useful. Hence, Lin Jiufeng was now sitting steadily on the fence, waiting for the arrival of the fifth decay.

Boom!

Sure enough, under Lin Jiufeng’s expectations, the fifth decay of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being arrived.

Directly, a huge vibration appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s body. The Dao Fruit that he had comprehended and condensed completely shattered at this moment.

Without any warning, it directly shattered with a cracking sound.

Lin Jiufeng felt a heart-wrenching pain. It was as if a blade had cut him into two and then churned his body.

But he couldn’t shout out loud. He could only bow his body and fall to the ground, drenched in sweat.

His Dao Fruit had broken.

This time, his vast amount of True Qi couldn’t be used too. Lin Jiufeng had truly become an ordinary human.

“Targeting me like this and sending down several decays in succession. Are you trying to make me submit to the Five Decay of the Celestial Being?” While enduring the pain, Lin Jiufeng sneered.

“Not only will I not submit, but you are doing this because you are afraid of me. Give me some time and the Five Decay of the Celestial Being will no longer exist!” Lin Jiufeng’s heart was very firm.

Now that the Five Decay of the Celestial Being had used all its techniques, this was already the most it could do to Lin Jiufeng. The Five Decay of the Celestial Being no longer had any other techniques.

But for Lin Jiufeng, his counterattack had just begun.

“The following period of time is the time for my cultivation base to skyrocket.” Lin Jiufeng got up firmly and laid on the chair to calm the wound on his Dao Fruit.

This was indeed the most serious injury Lin Jiufeng had suffered in his life.

But this was also the greatest opportunity in his life.

…

At the same time, on the vast sea, there was a misty place. No ships could come out again once they went in.

This place was the Eye of the North Sea.

There was a legend on the sea. Entering the Eye of the North Sea was equivalent to death, so not many people dared to approach it.

But there were always some people who didn’t believe in the supernatural.

This was the case for the powerhouses of the Wo Nation.

They had suffered a huge loss at the borders of the Yuhua God Dynasty and lost more than ten powerhouses. To a small island nation like the Wo Nation, this was enough to hurt them. Their strength was instantly reduced by 20%.

After all, these awakened powerhouses could enter the False Immortal Realm when the spiritual energy recovered to a certain extent.

But now, they were killed while they were at the King Realm.

This was too much of a loss.

The Wo Nation hated the Yuhua God Dynasty to death.

They had been paying close attention to the changes in the Yuhua God Dynasty during this period of time. They had discovered how invincible Great Emperor Jiufeng was. The Wo Nation didn’t dare to approach the Yuhua God Dynasty at all. They didn’t even dare to approach the main continent. They could only choose to go deep into the sea and seek and obtain a certain power before going to destroy the Yuhua God Dynasty.

“It’s said that deep in the sea, there’s a terrifying monster beast called Orochi, it can even devour true immortals. But unfortunately, Orochi is sealed. As long as we find it and help it undo the seal, everything else won’t be a problem.”

“By that time, the Yuhua God Dynasty and the Great Emperor Jiufeng will all be small fries. This world will belong to the Wo Nation.”

The group of six False Immortals entered the depths of the sea according to the map left behind by their ancestors. They found the Eye of the North Sea. They looked at each other and encouraged each other before charging in.

They wanted to find Orochi to deal with the Yuhua God Dynasty.
