  After defeating a Demon King with one palm, Lin Jiufeng nodded in satisfaction.

  He sealed the only exit without bothering to look at the sorrowful expressions of the demons below him.

  “Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng said.

  [Sign-In successful. Received one Void Sword Case]

  A sword case suddenly appeared in front of Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.

  It was entirely black with mysterious patterns carved on it, making it look very cool.

  [Void Sword Case: It can accommodate countless swords. It can also nurture the swords inside of it. Thus, improving their grade and quality!]

  Lin Jiufeng looked at the sword case.

  His eyes lit up.

  The function it had was just too powerful and convenient.

  After all, he had a lot of treasured swords.

  The Demon Slaying Sword and the bone swords.

  Especially the bone swords…

  There were a total of 365 of them, and they were all stored within Lin Jiufeng’s dantian, slowly being nurtured by his cultivation base.

  But this method of nurturing them would definitely not be as fast as nurturing them in a proper sword case.

  Not only could the sword case repair the damage done to the swords in it, but it could also improve the quality of the swords. Over time, the power of the swords stashed within it would also be increased.

  It was akin to killing several birds with one stone!

  This was a good thing.

  Lin Jiufeng decisively took out the 365 bone swords and placed them into the sword case along with the Demon Slaying Sword.

  The space within the sword case was vast, and it could hold countless swords.

  Lin Jiufeng’s treasured swords didn’t take up that much space inside.

  The sword case still looked the same, as if a bunch of swords wasn’t just inserted into it.

  Its weight also remained the same, one could carry it on one’s back…

  Hold it in one’s hands, or store it in one’s dantian.

  Lin Jiufeng looked at the sword case. He planned to fill the entire space of the sword case with swords in the future. When he needed them, he would just directly summon tens of thousands of swords out of nowhere. It would definitely be a sight to behold.

  “The reward from signing in this time is quite good. I hope I can get enough treasured swords from signing in the future.” Lin Jiufeng walked out of the underground palace in a good mood.

  Then, he continued to quietly ponder about the Great Dao of the world in the Cold Palace.

  He still had a lot of room for improvement.

  …

  In the Yuhua God Dynasty, Emperor De had always received education, wisdom, and knowledge from the court officials in the past five years. At the age of 18, he was already married. This marriage was arranged by the Empress Dowager.

  His wife was a gentle and understanding woman who could surely manage a family.

  But most importantly, she was a woman that Emperor De liked.

  The Empress Dowager knew the consequences of forcing the Emperor to marry a woman he didn’t like.

  She had experienced it back then.

  If it weren’t for the fact that she had given Lin Tianyuan love and Lin Jiufeng had taught him a lesson, she might not have become the Empress Dowager of today’s dynasty.

  Hence, she gave Emperor De the right to make his own choice.

  Within a certain range, she allowed him to choose his own Empress.

  After their marriage, the Empress Dowager gradually relinquished her power and let the Emperor continue to learn from the court officials on how to be a proper emperor.

  But Emperor De was more interested in cultivating and becoming stronger to reach the summit of the martial path than being a good emperor.

  Under a stroke of luck, Emperor De encountered the Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. He became the disciple of this Sect Leader and he earnestly learned from him how to cultivate.

  The Zenith Heaven Path Sect also taught Emperor De with great care.

  The Sect Leader personally gave him pointers.

  Emperor De advanced by leaps and bounds and became full of confidence in himself.

  Emperor De believed that he was a genius in this era.

  Because of Emperor De, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect gained a stable foothold in the Yuhua God Dynasty.

  Of course, other than teaching Emperor De, the rest of their positions were just empty titles.

  The court officials allowed them to enter the Yuhua God Dynasty’s Imperial Court.

  But they didn’t allow the Zenith Heaven Path Sect to control the state affairs.

  The Empress Dowager had the same idea.

  She wouldn’t allow it either.

  Hence, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect could only build a sect outside the Imperial Capital.

  There, they started to settle down.

  Today, Emperor De journeyed into the Zenith Heaven Path Sect to study with his Teacher, Sect Leader Luo Yu. He was there to learn how to make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm.

  The 18-year-old Emperor De was already about to make a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm. But this was all due to the vast and bountiful resources that he had access to.

  Combined with his own talent, the resources of the Yuhua God Dynasty, and Sect Leader Luo Yu’s guidance. It would be strange if he couldn’t cultivate this fast.

  “Your Majesty. What you only have to do right now is to adjust your body so you can reach its peak state. At the same time, you have to keep a tight seal on your vital energy so that it wouldn’t leak out. Only if these conditions are satisfied can you make a breakthrough.”

  Sect Master Luo Yu gave his advice.

  Emperor De was a handsome young man who inherited the genes of both Emperor Ming and Emperor Yuan.

  He looked a little similar to Lin Jiufeng too.

  When he heard Sect Leader Luo Yu’s words, his face couldn’t help but turn red.

  He hurriedly said, “Master, I’ve been slightly slacking off recently…”

  “I’ll be more careful in the future.”

  He was newlywed, and the wife he married was someone he chose himself. Her wife was definitely someone that he liked. With the couple deeply in love with each other, it was inevitable that they would have frequent trysts.

  But these activities seemed to have also become the reason for the leakage of his vital energy, preventing him from maintaining the peak state of his body. As a result, he was unable to make a breakthrough into the next realm.

  Sect Leader Luo Yu saw through Emperor De’s problem in an instant and he even pointed it out.

  Seeing the embarrassed Emperor De, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Your Majesty…”

  “It’s natural for humans to have sex. There’s no need to be shy…”

  “Moreover, Your Majesty also needs to have an offspring. It’s just that you have to control yourself for the next three months. This way, making a breakthrough into the Martial Sage Realm won’t be a problem for Your Majesty.”

  Emperor De replied rather seriously, “I understand…”

  “Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Master.”

  “Your Majesty, please take a look at the newly-established sect of our Zenith Heaven Path Sect. You can take a stroll around to familiarize yourself with the surroundings and to also ease the worries in your mind,” Sect Leader Luo Yu said with a smile.

  “Okay. Goodbye, Teacher Master.” Emperor De nodded and turned to leave.

  Sect Leader Luo Yu looked at the departing Emperor De with a calm look on his face.

  “You have successfully gained the trust of this little Emperor.”

  An old Daoist priest walked out from behind Sect Master Luo Yu.

  A look of satisfaction was on the Daoist priest’s face.

  “As long as you are willing to treat others sincerely, they will definitely be able to feel it…”

  “This little Emperor has his own opinions and it’s not that easy to brainwash him. But he values relationships, so we should groom our relationship with him and we can then slowly control the Yuhua God Dynasty through our connection with him,” Sect Master Luo Yu said softly.

  “Not a bad plan, but I heard that the court officials, cabinet ministers, and even the Empress Dowager do not like our Zenith Heaven Path Sect interfering in the state affairs of the Yuhua God Dynasty,” the old Daoist priest said.

  “A group of corrupt scholars, a group of old people, and a mere woman…”

  “What’s there to care about?” Sect Leader Luo Yu said in disdain.

  “I just have to make Emperor De dance on the palm of my hand. I’ll use my relationship with him to solicit and slowly gather the most precious treasures out there in the world. Then, I’ll slowly unseal the powerhouses of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect…”

  “When that time comes, the Yuhua God Dynasty would become nothing but a mere secular god dynasty in front of our Zenith Heaven Path Sect. If we are not satisfied with their performance under us, we could just replace them with another dynasty.”

  Sect Leader Luo Yu coldly explained.

  His Zenith Heaven Path Sect wasn’t willing to become a mere subordinate of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

  What he wanted was to turn the entire Yuhua God Dynasty into a huge follower of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect, making the Yuhua God Dynasty become the Zenith Heaven Path’s subordinate instead.

  In this new era, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect would definitely flourish.

  “I’m relieved that you’ve thought about it this way. I’m just afraid that you will develop feelings for this little Emperor.” the old Taoist priest was satisfied by the explanation.

  “I’m someone from thousands of years ago. Would I change my mind because of an 18-year-old child?” Sect Leader Luo Yu said disdainfully.

  When he was with Emperor De, he taught him sincerely.

  But his sincerity was only there for the sake of rewards.

  Once there was no reward nor any benefit to gain, he would immediately fall out with Emperor De.

  “Let’s wait for a few more years…”

  “We have recently just established ourselves. Right now, we need to slowly accumulate our strength and dig out the powerhouses of our Zenith Heaven Path Sect one by one…”

  “This is our first priority.”

  “But for now, let’s continue our integration to the Yuhua God Dynasty,” Sect Master Luo Yu said.
