His sword case has consistently nurtured his swords all this time. With the sword case's help, the might of Lin Jiufeng's swords has only increased as time went by.

The sword case looked inconspicuous, but it was the best nourishment for treasured swords.

In the past few decades, Lin Jiufeng has been nurturing the swords that he obtained inside the sword case. After so many years, the might of the swords inside have already increased by several folds.

Today, Lin Jiufeng took one of the swords out and used it to execute a move.

What he executed was the technique that he received from signing in for the very first time.

Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill!

At the beginning of his cultivation path, the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill proved to be tremendously powerful.

But as his cultivation base increased and the world's spiritual energy continuously recovered, the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill couldn't keep up with Lin Jiufeng's progress anymore.

It has been a long time since he last used this sword technique.

After executing it again today, Lin Jiufeng knew that he had to be grateful for the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill.

This treasured skill from hell wasn't offense-oriented, but it could transform cultivation techniques into treasured skills—a realm higher than cultivation techniques when it comes to the hierarchy of techniques.

As a result, an ordinary cultivation technique could produce an astonishing might.

Using the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill as the core to execute the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill—this was the first time that Lin Jiufeng had done such a thing.

Lin Jiufeng was very curious if he could resist or defeat the Arhat of Slaughter with the Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill alone.

After his move was executed, a sword light rushed toward the sky. A gorgeous, colorful, and infinitely sharp sword aura interweaved with a black hellish aura which formed a huge dragon that opened its mouth and chomped…

Boom!

The Arhat of Slaughter was originally the only light source. Its size made it so that it instantly overshadowed everything around it.

But in an instant, the sword light that burst out pierced through the Arhat of Slaughter's glabella, directly stirring up the endless winds and clouds behind it.

"No…"

The Arhat of Slaughter's tragic cry shook the sky, mixed with the tragic cries of the 18 bandits.

The sword pierced through the Arhat of Slaughter's glabella, which was equivalent to piercing through the glabella of the 18 bandits.

The Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill's might was raised to the level of a treasured skill.

Now, it seemed to be powerful enough to cut down the sun and the moon.

To say that it had become terrifying was an understatement.

The Arhat of Slaughter looked extremely powerful and ferocious, but in front of Lin Jiufeng, it felt as if it was only as strong as a target dummy.

It was such a huge target dummy that Lin Jiufeng didn't even have to aim.

He drew his sword and slashed at the Arhat without aiming.

"What terrifying sword technique was that? To think that it would be this strong—" The Arhat of Slaughter's thousand feet body retreated step by step, causing the oasis to tremble.

The flames around its body dimmed and extinguished at this moment. Wisps of black light lingered around its gigantic body. It was the traces of the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill's power.

The Ultimate Heaven Slashing Sword Skill used the Ultimate Yin Treasured Skill as a stepping stone. It was akin to a fish leaping over the dragon's gate, transforming into a true dragon. In addition, Lin Jiufeng's own formidable strength also increased the power of the sword skill itself.

With one strike, he destroyed the Arhat of Slaughter.

With one strike, he wiped out the 18 bandits.

Lin Jiufeng calmly put the sword in his hand into the sword case. Then, the sword case disappeared into his body. Afterwards, without even looking at the Arhat of Slaughter, he turned to face Miss Hong and said with a smile, "As I said, they aren't that strong!"

Rumble!

As soon as his words fell, the Arhat of Slaughter directly exploded. The shockwaves from its implosion shook the surroundings. The corpses of the 18 bandits directly evaporated along with the Arhat of Slaughter.

Hearing Lin Jiufeng's words, Miss Hong was dumbfounded.

She was stunned.

She reacted a tad bit slower as she slowly said, "You—You are still invincible?!"

Although Miss Hong expected that Lin Jiufeng would be powerful today, she didn't expect him to be able to defy her expectations once again.

She was a member of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

She has been working hard all these years and with the help of the Heavenly Dao, she reached the tenth step of the Boundless Realm.

Considering this, she thought that she was already very powerful.

But after witnessing Lin Jiufeng's, Miss Hong finally understood what the adage, 'There is always a higher mountain' meant.

'Is he the Child of Destiny of this era?' Miss Hong thought in shock.

But on second thought, seeing that the 18 bandits directly evaporated into nothingness, Miss Hong heaved a sigh of relief.

Her troubles were over.

"Thank you for saving me," Miss Hong said gratefully.

"You're welcome," Lin Jiufeng calmly replied.

"This is the second time that you saved me." Miss Hong lamented.

The first time was in the imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

In order to save Miss Hong, he lost his position as the crown prince and was banished to the Cold Palace.

Lin Jiufeng waved his hand and said, "There's no need to mention the past anymore. I came to look for you this time for something too."

"As long as it's something that I can do, I will do it."

Miss Hong made the greatest promise that she could.

There were some things that she couldn't do as a member of the Heavenly Dao Sect after all.

"It's nothing special. Let's leave this place first and then we'll talk about it."

Lin Jiufeng looked at the surrounding crowd that had gathered.

He didn't like being sized up like a monkey. He liked being behind the scenes.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained hidden in the Cold Palace for so many years without being tired of it.

Miss Hong nodded.

Lin Jiufeng was in charge of the current situation, so she knew that she had to obey.

Seeing this, Lin Jiufeng directly flew away from the oasis.

Miss Hong followed closely behind.

After they left, the people in the oasis quickly approached and watched the aftermath of the battle in shock.

"The Eighteen Bandits of the Northwest were killed just like that?"

"Isn't he too strong?"

"Who exactly was that person?"

"He's so young, but he's already so powerful. That Miss Hong seems to be very strong too. Did anyone manage to take a good look at that young man's face earlier?"

"I couldn't. He was blocked by that Arhat of Slaughter just now."

"That's a pity, me too."

…

Outside the oasis, on a huge green rock on a bare mountain.

Lin Jiufeng and Miss Hong stood on the rock.

They surveyed the boundless Mountain Sea Realm.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Miss Hong looked at Lin Jiufeng's tall and straight back.

"I want to take a look at the various books of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Of course, this is excluding the secret manuals, I don't need to look at the secret manuals of the Heavenly Dao Sect," Lin Jiufeng said.

He could obtain secret manuals just by signing in.

He did not need them. Thus, there wasn't a need for him to look at their secret manuals.

He wanted to see the records of the various eras kept by the Heavenly Dao Sect.

He also wanted to know why the world's spiritual energy would go into a cycle of decline and recovery every few thousand years.

Other than that, he also wanted to know what kind of dangerous places, powerful sects, and terrifying mystic realms existed in this world…

Lin Jiufeng wanted to go to such places and sign in.

He had already lost the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, so he had to find another place to sign in.

Miss Hong looked at Lin Jiufeng and said with a wry smile, "I can agree to this, but I'm sorry. I'm the only one who managed to come into being until now from the Heavenly Dao Sect. Other than me, the others are still in hibernation."

"The mountain gate of the Heavenly Dao Sect is also asleep. Those books are stored in the previous sect location and it's still deep underground."

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows and said, "Then why didn't you wake the others up?"

Although they were buried deep underground, it should've been easy for someone like her to wake her seniors and juniors up from their hibernation.

Even Lin Jiufeng managed to wake up every demon in that demonic den beneath the Cold Palace.

Miss Hong should also be able to do the same.

Miss Hong looked at Lin Jiufeng and shook her head.

She sighed and said, "Do you think I can't do something so simple?"

"Is there a problem then?" Lin Jiufeng looked at Miss Hong.

"Yes, don't you think that this world is a little small?" Miss Hong solemnly asked.

Lin Jiufeng frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Literally…"

"For example, the current you. From the south to the north, you can travel back and forth in a day, but according to some ancient historical records, even immortals are unable to cross the intersection of heaven and earth."

Miss Hong reached out and pointed.

The intersection of heaven and earth appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng at a place where the boundaries were unknown.

"You're saying that this world has shrunk?" Lin Jiufeng asked in surprise.

The white cat was dumbfounded.

Maybe it was because the white cat stayed with Lin Jiufeng for too long…

Because at this moment, both Lin Jiufeng and the white cat's expressions looked exactly the same.
