Dachun was arranged to be the governor of a region in the Jiangnan area.

He held an official position lasting over four dynasties. Considering how he was also a peak Martial Sage Realm expert 30 years ago, he was indeed suitable for the position assigned to him.

But after 30 years, Dachun had long resigned from his post.

Lin Jiufeng was surprised when he heard Emperor De.

Although Dachun didn't have a strong desire to become an official, it had only been 30 years since he returned to his hometown and became the governor of a region in Jiangnan.

There should be no reason for him to resign.

His body was also in peak condition.

Thus, his resignation definitely wasn't because of poor health.

'Could it be that he was in danger—was that the reason why he resigned?'

Lin Jiufeng guessed.

But Dachun still had Lin Jiufeng's sword energy in him.

Once Dachun encountered danger, the sword energy in him would activate and save him.

Since the sword energy still existed, it proved that Dachun didn't fall into any mortal danger over the past 30 years.

Seeing Lin Jiufeng's confusion, Emperor De added. "Dachun wrote a letter saying that his old mother is seriously ill and that as a son, he has to mourn for ten years without going into politics or showing his face in public."

Hearing Emperor De's words, Lin Jiufeng could only sigh.

"I'll see if we'll cross paths in Jiangnan."

After bidding farewell to Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming, as well as Emperor De, Lin Jiufeng waved coolly and left without looking back.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Lin Jiufeng's back looked elegant and unrestrained.

He soon disappeared without a trace.

Emperor De was left standing alone before Emperor Yuan and Emperor Ming's tombs.

"Father, Grandpa Emperor, the foundation that you have laid and the dynasty that you have passed down onto me won't be destroyed in the coming years. With Big Grand-Uncle supporting me, the Yuhua God Dynasty will continue to exist." Emperor De stated firmly.

…

The Imperial Capital was thrown into an uproar upon Princess Yulin's return.

As far as the eye could see, there were festivities.

Many people cheered incessantly.

No one noticed Lin Jiufeng's departure.

He left and directly headed to Jiangnan with the white cat.

"I've never been to Jiangnan before. I've only seen the scenery of Jiangnan in books. They say it's surrounded by greenery and water," the white cat said.

"I've never been to Jiangnan before either," Lin Jiufeng replied.

When he suppressed both Shaolin and Xuankong Temple back then, he only used two paintings to do so. His true body never left the Imperial Capital. His two paintings had forced Shaolin and Xuankong Temple to surrender without giving them a chance to resist.

There was practically no Human God expert at that time; the common people had to kneel and worship them as "Gods".

But as the golden age arrived…

Human Gods had become just another realm in the cultivation path, this term didn't represent anything terrifying anymore.

This was a part of the changes brought by the beginning of a golden era.

In front of the Human God Realm appeared the Grotto-Heaven Realm, the Supremacy Realm, and Lin Jiufeng's current realm…

"What's the name of the realm you are in?" The white cat asked curiously.

She still had no idea about the name of Lin Jiufeng's current realm.

It has been 30 years, but Lin Jiufeng never talked about his realm.

He remained mysterious; his realm, seemingly shrouded by a cloud of fog.

Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat as the corner of his lips curled up. "Take a look at this vast world; now tell me. What adjective can you think of to describe this world?"

The white cat looked around carefully as many words flashed across her mind.

But she didn't know which word Lin Jiufeng was the most appropriate.

"Boundless!" Lin Jiufeng gave the answer.

After the nine levels of the Supremacy Realm was the Boundless Realm.

Boundless Sea, Boundless Wind and Cloud, Boundless True Qi…

Boundless was a very terrifying realm.

"I see." The white cat suddenly understood.

Then, she became envious.

She also wanted to enter the Boundless Realm.

"Make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm first and then enter the Supremacy Realm. Only after you've done all of these should you think about the Boundless Realm." Lin Jiufeng patted the white cat's head.

The white cat shook her head and replied, "If I made a breakthrough into the Supremacy Realm, I might be able to transform into human form."

Lin Jiufeng finally remembered that the white cat had the ability to transform.

Ordinary demonic beasts would be able to transform after they made a breakthrough into the Human God Realm. Those who were stronger with more powerful bloodlines would have to wait until they've reached the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

But even True Dragons, Phoenixes, and other Godly Beasts could already take on human form at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

There was a saying—the stronger the bloodline, the later the transformation.

Those that needed to wait until the Grotto-Heaven Realm to take on human forms had extremely powerful bloodlines.

But after the white cat made a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm, she still couldn't take on a human form.

Lin Jiufeng didn't know what was wrong with the white cat.

Its bloodline was nothing special, right?

From the moment she started cultivating until now, hundreds to thousands of years had passed.

Since she started cultivating, she had always relied on external resources to breakthrough.

Using the resources that the Demon Lord had accumulated throughout his entire life, the white cat arrived at the Martial Sage Realm. When the white cat followed Lin Jiufeng, she ate about 60% of the things that Lin Jiufeng received from signing in.

Then, she still had to expend a lot of energy to make a breakthrough into the Human God Realm. In the end, under Lin Jiufeng's forceful 'pulling', the white cat was forcibly pulled into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

It was only when Lin Jiufeng received another Divine Grade Grotto-heaven from signing in that the white cat's talent improved, ever so slightly.

But that was all.

In this case, was the white cat—a genius amongst demonic beasts?

Lin Jiufeng didn't think so at all.

She was just Lin Jiufeng's little white cat, that's all.

A female cat.

However, if one were to calculate according to the patterns that the demon beast race had always followed throughout their lives. Then, the white cat's bloodline was certainly stronger than that of dragons and phoenixes.

This was because dragons and phoenixes were able to take on human forms after arriving at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

But the white cat still couldn't.

The white cat said that she might be able to take on a human form upon arriving at the Supremacy Realm.

The keywords were, "might be able to…".

It meant that she still wasn't confident about taking on a human form.

"What breed are you exactly? Why haven't you transformed despite how easy it is for other demonic beasts to take human form?" Lin Jiufeng found it strange. He reached out and picked up the little white cat, carefully inspecting her.

"Just what bloodline is coursing through your veins? Why can't you take on a human form just yet considering how easy it is for other beasts to take on human forms after arriving at a certain cultivation realm?" Lin Jiufeng found it strange.

He reached out and carried the white cat.

Then, he carefully inspected every nook and cranny of her body.

Meow!

The white cat called out in embarrassment and glared at Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng finally remembered that she was a member of the opposite sex.

"Alright, alright. Just cultivate in peace, will you? It will be best if you can take on a human form after you've arrived at the Supremacy Realm. I'm interested to see how you'll look as a human being." Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat.

He dropped the matter altogether.

"Hmph, I will definitely take on a human form! When the time comes, I will let you see what it means to be stunning." The little white cat knocked her little head against Lin Jiufeng's chest as she stated in a loud and clear voice.

"Alright, I'm looking forward to it. But you have to cultivate properly first, and then successfully take on a human form to amaze me," Lin Jiufeng said perfunctorily.

Just how beautiful would the white cat be as a human being?

Although this cat was extremely beautiful in her cat form.

Although the white cat was already an eye candy in her cat form…

Her cat form was her true form. Thus, Lin Jiufeng was interested to see how she would look after taking on a human form.

Of course, Lin Jiufeng wasn't actually looking forward to how beautiful a cat woman could be.

…

It only took Lin Jiufeng a day to arrive at Jiangnan.

His speed remained relatively fast even as he played around with the white cat.

On his first step into Jiangnan, a line of words appeared before Lin Jiufeng's eyes.

[Do you want to Sign-In at Jiangnan, the Land of Mist and Rain?]

Lin Jiufeng was surprised. 'This works too?'

The Jiangnan area covered a vast expanse of land, but it could still be used as a one-time sign-in opportunity?

The line of words kept flashing in front of Lin Jiufeng's eyes without stopping.

It was obviously not an illusion, but real.

Do you want to sign in?

"Sign in!" Lin Jiufeng agreed decisively.
