The demonic creatures in the five demonic dens were about to be annihilated.
But just before that happened, Lin Jiufeng received the opportunity to sign in.
“Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng said without hesitation.
[Sign-In successful. Received Five Emperors Great Demon Mystique!]
A secret manual appeared in Lin Jiufeng’s mind. It had five colors that corresponded to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The five emperors in the Five Emperors Great Demon Mystique were the five extremely terrifying emperors derived from the Great Dao of the five elements of heaven and earth.
They were the Azure Emperor of Wood, the Red Emperor of Fire, the White Emperor of Metal, the Black Emperor of Water, and the Yellow Emperor of Earth.
These five emperors were the Five Element Emperors of the ancient era.
They had always been very powerful.
They named the five elements after themselves, and they became what they were today.
Obviously, the Five Emperors Great Demon Mystique was an invincible divine power from the ancient era. It formed the five Great Emperors and combined their auras to form the Five Emperors Canopy.
The technique’s offensive and defensive capabilities were terrifying, to say the least.
Lin Jiufeng cultivated it quietly.
On the outside, he remained the same, but inside, he had already undergone a world-shaking change.
In his vast spiritual consciousness, five extremely terrifying emperors manifested. They stood apart, facing each other. With their auras connected, they formed a five-colored canopy.
Boom!
The Boundless Realm consisted of 33 steps. One had to assail these steps to reach the peak.
Lin Jiufeng was already at the third step of the Boundless Realm.
But when he condensed the Five Emperors Great Demon Mystique, he instantly ascended onto the fourth step of the realm.
The power of the Five Emperors Great Demon Mystique was clearly extraordinary.
Just as Lin Jiufeng was cultivating the Five Emperors Great Demon Mystique, the five demonic dens beneath the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower were about to be devoured by the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait.
After a day and a night, the five demonic dens were nowhere to be seen.
The water in the West Lake calmed down.
The five bottomless dens directly swallowed a large amount of the West Lake’s water. The disturbance created also caused heavy rain to fall from the sky. With a crashing sound, like a celestial river breaking its dike, it crazily poured down the West Lake.
During the commotion, the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait shrank and returned to Lin Jiufeng’s hand.
The powerhouses nearby watched the scene carefully, but they didn’t notice the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait’s disappearance. It took advantage of the rain to return to Lin Jiufeng’s hands.
The powerhouses of Jiangnan were waiting for the rain to stop.
They wanted to see if West Lake had truly recovered its peak.
They wanted to see if the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower that had suppressed the Jiangnan area for decades had truly disappeared.
Moreover, they wanted to see if that mysterious powerhouse was still around.
As the heavy rain fell, both Lin Jiufeng and Monk Fusan remained in the scene.
They stood close to each other as they watched the rain together.
“Patron, which big shot from the previous era you were?” Monk Fusan couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Jiufeng’s own strength was already so terrifying.
In addition, he also had an immortal artifact in his hands.
He was simply freakishly strong.
He must be a peerless powerhouse from the previous era!
He might even be one of the strongest people from the previous era.
Lin Jiufeng shook his head and said, “I was born just over a hundred years ago, how could I be a powerhouse from the previous era?”
“Born just over a hundred years ago…” Monk Fusan was dumbfounded.
Cultivating to the Boundless Realm in over a hundred years, that feat was doable in the previous era.
But that was when the world was at its peak.
When the spiritual energy was at its peak, immortals were born in droves.
But in this era, the spiritual energy had only just recovered and the status of the world of cultivators had just started to improve once again.
Lin Jiufeng only used hundred-plus years to reach the Boundless Realm? Not only that, but he also had a terrifying strength on his own and even an immortal artifact at that?
He was undoubtedly the Child of Destiny of this era!
Monk Fusan exclaimed in his heart.
He turned the Buddha beads in his hands to suppress the shock in his heart.
“Now that the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower has become a thing of the past, what happened with the treasures of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower? Did they also disappear along with the tower?”
Lin Jiufeng ignored the shock in Monk Fusan’s heart and asked.
It was said that the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower had many relics of eminent monks and many treasures of the Buddhist sects.
But even though the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was now in pieces, Lin Jiufeng still didn’t see any treasure floating up the surface of the lake.
“They were all taken away by Monk Shengyun. He’s the abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. It’s easy for him to bring those things with him.” Monk Fusan sighed and replied.
He was also heartbroken.
Looking at the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower that was gradually being drowned by the heavy rain, he felt melancholic.
In the previous era, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was still a holy land for the Buddhist sects. It was a role model for the Buddhist sects and the main force in suppressing the demonic creatures and protecting the common people.
But in this era, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower became the demonic creatures’ shelter. If it weren’t for the fact that he was trying his best to suppress the five demonic dens, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower would have long unsealed them and released the demonic creatures out into the world.
Today, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was no more.
It sank beneath the West Lake along with the five demonic dens.
The five demonic dens that had been entangled with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower for thousands of years were now gone in their entirety.
Monk Fusan could only say that this was the decision of destiny.
Lin Jiufeng sighed.
This Monk Shengyun was simply too decisive and immediately slipped away upon noticing the slightest danger. Otherwise, Lin Jiufeng would’ve been able to obtain the Buddha’s relic and scepter.
Lin Jiufeng had already seen Buddha’s writing and signed in from it.
Considering that, Buddha’s relics and Buddha’s scepter could definitely be signed in too.
To Lin Jiufeng, the prospect of signing in was more attractive than anything else.
But it was a pity that Monk Shengyun disappeared too quickly, Lin Jiufeng couldn’t find him at all.
“Since we’re done here. You can go to the Imperial Capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty now.” Lin Jiufeng said to Monk Fusan.
“I’ll go right away, but do you really think that everything is over?” Monk Fusan shook his head.
“What do you mean?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows.
“There are many demonic dens in the entire Jiangnan area, but many people are suppressing. But there is a demonic den that no living person dares to suppress,” said Monk Fusan.
“What place?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.
“It’s in the Hundred Flowers Valley of the Jiangnan area. There’s an extremely terrifying underground cave there. The eminent monks of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower investigated it thoroughly during the previous era…”
“They found out during their investigation that the demonic den there was being suppressed by a mummy. Thanks to it, nothing has happened so far,” Monk Fusan replied.
“That’s good, isn’t it?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“Monk Shengyun left with a group of powerhouses from the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower. He also brought with him the many treasures of the tower. He has already gone far too deep into the demonic path…”
“What if he went over there and opened that demonic den now that the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower has collapsed?” Monk Fusan asked softly.
He had accurately guessed Monk Shengyun’s next course of action.
Lin Jiufeng frowned and replied, “How troublesome…”
“I shall go to the Hundred Flowers Valley then.”
“Be careful…” Monk Fusan nodded. “The demonic creatures in that demonic den are even more terrifying than here. Even the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower was unable to suppress that demonic den when it was at its peak. Don’t go too far and force yourself.”
“It’s okay, I have the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait,” Lin Jiufeng replied rather confidently.
Recalling the might of the Jiangnan Hundred Ghosts Portrait, Monk Fusan smacked his lips and didn’t say anything else.
Afterwards, he turned around and left.
“Farewell!”
His thin body walked into the rain, but the rainwater avoided him.
Monk Fusan walked towards the Imperial Capital amidst the rain.
Lin Jiufeng also walked into the rain with the white cat.
He walked out of the rain and headed to the Hundred Flowers Valley.
