《80 Years Of Signing-In At The Cold Palace, I Am Unrivalled》Chapter 276: The Life During the Five Decay (2)
Advertisement
For the first time, Lin Jiufeng clearly felt that he had instantly aged ten years.
This was a very subtle feeling.
In his previous state, he had always maintained the youthful vigor of an 18-year-old. Even though his actual age had reached more than a hundred years, to Lin Jiufeng, his body state had always been that of a rising sun, dispelling the darkness that shrouded the land and bringing with it unlimited hope.
But now, he clearly sensed that his current state was very poor. He had passed his youth and became a middle-aged man.
28 years old!
This was a magical age.
Lin Jiufeng didn't pay too much attention to it. He was mentally prepared for the arrival of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being.
He passed this day in a simple manner. He cleaned up the weeds outside the courtyard and straightened out a clean path. He pushed down the dangerous courtyard walls that were on the verge of collapse and dispelled the mold in the room.
It seemed that he wasn't affected at all. After settling these matters, he went out at night and bought some dishes to eat. When he returned, he also carried a pot of Turbid Wine back along with the food.
Turbid Wine was brewed by the common people themselves. The alcohol content wasn't that high, at least for people at the False Immortal Realm, it didn't have much effect.
But today, this pot of Turbid Wine knocked Lin Jiufeng out.
A pot of Turbid Wine weighed about 2.5 kilograms.
This wasn't a problem for the previous Lin Jiufeng. He could treat it as mouthwash and directly drink it.
But now, he had unknowingly gotten drunk.
The cultivation base of a False Immortal was gradually becoming useless under the state of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being.
At least to his body, his cultivation base didn't matter anymore.
In the dark, Lin Jiufeng played the zither while drunk and sang to the moon. It was as if the human, the shadow, and the moon were hosting a grand event, singing and dancing. It was very lively.
In the latter half of the night, Lin Jiufeng fell onto the bed drunk. He didn't think about anything and fell into a deep sleep.

The cultivation base of a False Immortal was just a decoration now.
The Five Decay of the Celestial Being could only be resisted with mental energy, source energy, and the body.
Lin Jiufeng woke up the next morning. He held his head and said bitterly, "I hadn't experienced the feeling of a hangover for many years. This isn't a good feeling."
Ever since his cultivation base had improved, Lin Jiufeng rarely got drunk, let alone had a hangover.
He covered his head and walked to the mirror. When he focused his gaze, he was shocked.
"Is this me?"
Lin Jiufeng couldn't believe his eyes.
In his own eyes, he was elegant and handsome, like an exiled immortal, and his face was pale…
The words that could be used to describe a man's handsome appearance in the mortal world could all be used on Lin Jiufeng. They were all very appropriate for Lin Jiufeng.
This was what Lin Jiufeng thought in the past.
The higher his cultivation base, the more ethereal and otherworldly his aura became. He was an example of how strong humans could be.
But now…
The person in the mirror was thin and yellow-skinned. He had thick dark circles under his eyes, messy hair, and sallow skin. He looked very terrifying, like a sick ghost.
Lin Jiufeng reached out to stroke his face with a trembling hand. The rough feeling made him speechless for a moment.
After a long time, Lin Jiufeng finally said, "Even if it's the Five Decay of the Celestial Being, even if it wants to remove all of my beautiful exteriors and display my ugliest side, there's no need to make me look so sloppy. Even without the support of my cultivation base, I'm still very self-disciplined and determined. I wouldn't have looked so terrible."
Lin Jiufeng carefully observed his appearance and discovered the evil intentions of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being.
The Five Decay of the Celestial Being used two extremes to stimulate Lin Jiufeng's mentality.
Previously, Lin Jiufeng was high and mighty. He had the bearing of an immortal and was respected by the people of the world. He had always enjoyed such flattery, respect, and praise. Whoever countered such a situation would lose oneself.

Immortals were also humans. They were also conceited and would lose themselves.
When the Five Decay of the Celestial Being descended, Lin Jiufeng was sent from the clouds to the bottom of the valley the next day. This made Lin Jiufeng doubt himself, thinking that all the happiness in the past was caused by his powerful cultivation base. After losing that huge cultivation base, he would be like a gambler, an addicted customer who would rather die than live.
The impact of slightly inflating these two extremes was huge.
Ordinary people couldn't withstand this psychological impact at all.
Even Lin Jiufeng was dazed at first. He couldn't believe his eyes.
Would he really become like this?
Lin Jiufeng expressed his deep doubts.
He had always been very confident. This confidence came from his trust in himself.
Lin Jiufeng looked at himself in the mirror and asked softly, "If I lose my huge cultivation base, will I really rot to this extent?"
Lin Jiufeng didn't say out the answer to this question.
He stared at his reflection in the mirror. His eyes were straight and unblinking, full of oppression.
At this moment, it was as if Lin Jiufeng could crush his opponent with his eyes.
But the person in the mirror was Lin Jiufeng himself.
Lin Jiufeng's eyes were terrifyingly oppressive as he stared at himself in the mirror.
At this moment, Lin Jiufeng perfectly displayed what it meant to have a gaze as sharp as a blade.
His gaze was like a blade and it slashed at his reflection in the mirror.
Under Lin Jiufeng's oppressive gaze, the 'Lin Jiufeng' in the mirror revealed an expression that resembled both crying and smiling.
But Lin Jiufeng's face was expressionless and silent.
"You won't be able to tide through the Five Decay of the Celestial Being." The 'Lin Jiufeng' in the mirror spoke. His expression was very strange as if he was extremely resentful that Lin Jiufeng had recognized him. His resentful gaze seemed to be able to devour Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng watched calmly.
The other party became more and more resentful. He was even about to flow out from the mirror and reveal itself in reality.
But in the very next moment, Lin Jiufeng suddenly launched an attack. With a loud roar, his face quickly moved closer to the mirror, making eye contact with 'Lin Jiufeng' inside.
"I'm here to kill you!!!"
Although the Five Decay of the Celestial Being had arrived, it had only been two days. Although Lin Jiufeng's terrifying strength was affected, it was still terrifying.
This sudden explosion scared the 'Lin Jiufeng' in the mirror. He hurriedly escaped and disappeared into the void. He totally disappeared in a very mysterious manner.
The 'Lin Jiufeng' in the mirror now was still the same as before, but Lin Jiufeng knew that this time, it was really just a reflection of the mirror.
"You are as timid as a rat, yet you still dare to scheme against me. The Five Decay of the Celestial Being is indeed not a good thing. It brings with it a bunch of evil beings, and this fake, mysterious creature even dares to provoke me. After passing this stage, I will crush you." Lin Jiufeng sneered.
He looked at himself in the mirror. At this moment, he still looked terrifying, but his aura, mentality, and gaze were completely different from before.
The current Lin Jiufeng was very confident in passing the Five Decay of the Celestial Being.
What could something as weak as that mysterious creature just now do to Lin Jiufeng?
Even though Lin Jiufeng had become extremely weak now, he wouldn't be afraid of the other party.
Lin Jiufeng stood up and walked out of the courtyard to continue what he hadn't completed yesterday.
Cleaning up the courtyard.
But the difference in his state between today and yesterday could be seen at a glance.
Lin Jiufeng's physical fitness today was much worse.
Yesterday, he was 28 years old. This age was still the prime of a man's life.
Today, he was 38 years old, already passing the peak of a man's life. His physical strength had declined, and his little brother didn't erect when he woke up in the morning.
The state of a man in the 30s was vividly reflected in Lin Jiufeng.
