The 13 of them gathered together and discussed the recent changes in the ancient city.

Originally, when they saw the opened door of the Mountain Sea Realm, they were all extremely excited and wanted to rush out in a hurry.

But who knew that there was an obstacle called Lin Jiufeng waiting for them just right outside the door?

"The Mountain Sea Door's opening is too slow. It's a pity that those too strong can't come out just yet, or else everything would definitely be very interesting." Old Man Luo was regretful.

The Mountain Sea Door was still considered to be closed.

Before it could fully open, those with too high of a cultivation base wouldn't be able to cross over from beyond the door.

Only those at the King Realm could currently come out.

"I'm also curious if he can suppress someone whose cultivation is beyond the King Realm."

Bai Tiandi rubbed his chin.

"Look! Another person has appeared!" Someone suddenly reached out and pointed.

The seal on the Mountain Sea Door was lifted, and a person walked out from the inside.

The cultivation base of this person far exceeded everyone present—he was at the sixth level of the King Realm!

His appearance delighted everyone.

"It's the Blade Demon! Comprehending the Great Dao with the blade, transcending tribulation through slaughter, he is a terrifying existence!" Old Man Luo exclaimed in surprise.

The others watched curiously.

"He won't be able to defeat the Blade Demon, right?" King Kaoshan murmured with hope.

But in the very next moment, Lin Jiufeng, who was tilling the land of his vegetable garden in front of his small courtyard, raised his head.

Sea Rising Bright Moon!

On the lake that was once again filled with water, a moon suddenly rose.

Such a scene appearing amidst the clear skies and the resplendent sun looked out of place.

But as the moon appeared, it carried the power of the sea as it bore down on the Blade Demon.

"Sky Slashing Blade!"

The Blade Demon let loose a sharp cry, and his voice reverberated through the air.

The sharp edge of his blade tore through the air as he delivered an extremely terrifying strike.

But against Lin Jiufeng's Rising Sea Bright Moon, his blade became akin to that of a rock thrown into the sea.

The bright moon collided with the Blade Demon, causing him to vomit blood.

He staggered and fell into the oasis.

Then the sea, the moon, the breeze—and the effects of these phenomena disappeared.

The world became clear once again.

The Mountain Sea Door was also sealed once more.

The sparkling crystal clear water remained beautiful in the eyes.

The Blade Demon looked around in confusion, not knowing what just happened.

Who defeated him?

He didn't even see who defeated him.

"Blade Demon, come over here. Let's live in harmony here in the future."

Old Man Luo shouted. His face was filled with disappointment.

The joy on the faces of the other 12 people also disappeared.

Even the always confident Bai Tiandi stopped talking.

"He didn't even appear in person. He only summoned his domain's phenomenon. After it erupted, Blade Demon was defeated…" King Kaoshan gasped.

"He's too strong! He's stronger than we thought! Don't tell me that he's already standing at the peak of the King Realm?" A woman said.

"Who exactly is he?"

"A freak!"

"He's even more of a freak than Bai Tiandi!"

"Bai Tiandi, you have to keep a low profile in the future. Before him, you are not worth mentioning." Old Man Luo commented.

"Hmph…" Bai Tiandi stood up and turned to leave.

He clenched his fists and swore to work even harder to become stronger.

Bai Tiandi was a confident and prideful individual.

He wasn't willing to be suppressed by Lin Jiufeng forever.

After Bai Tiandi left, the others also left one after another and returned to their own residences.

Knowing how powerful Lin Jiufeng was, they had no mood to continue their discussion.

It was better for them to start to comprehend the Heavenly Dao of this world so that they could continue to become stronger.

Only Old Man Luo went to receive the Blade Demon.

He was like the village chief of a novice village—he seemed to have taken it as his job to receive people who came one after another.

…

Outside the ancient city of the oasis, Lin Jiufeng retracted his gaze and continued to till the land of his vegetable garden.

Afterwards, he planted some vegetables and raised a few chickens and ducks.

He became a farmer and lived a quiet life.

He would defeat a person every day and then sign in.

After defeating the Blade Demon, a line of words appeared before his eyes.

[Defeated the Blade Demon and Sign-In for the 18 Slashes of Purgatory!]

This was a treasured skill-level blade technique.

Considering its classification, its might must never be underestimated.

But to Lin Jiufeng, it was only better than nothing.

After learning the blade technique, his cultivation base slightly increased and his pool of treasured skills went up along with it. Other than that, he didn't gain anything else.

The Northwest Territory was originally extremely dry, with yellow soil flying everywhere. But after the Mountain Sea Door was opened, the spiritual energy in the world became abundant, the rainwater also increased, and the vegetation started to spread.

Lin Jiufeng stayed here and became a farmer in peace. He didn't go anywhere. He let one person out every day and then neatly defeated them. After signing in successfully, he no longer cared about them.

Naturally, Old Man Luo warmly welcomed these guests for Lin Jiufeng.

He explained the rules here to them, explained Lin Jiufeng's rules to them, and then let them stay here in peace.

If they wanted to leave, they just had to defeat Lin Jiufeng.

Days passed.

It has been a month since Lin Jiufeng opened the Mountain Sea Door.

The ancient city had become more populous.

There were already 30 people diligently cultivating within its confines every day.

But all of a sudden, a person who had just been defeated by Lin Jiufeng suggested. "That person is truly powerful. Sure, we can't defeat him alone, but we already have 30 people here. If we join forces, we should be able to defeat him."

"That's right!"

"Two fists are no match for four hands!"

"No matter how powerful he is, we should be able to overwhelm his invincibility with our numbers, am I right?"

"Everyone, let's attack him together! After we've defeated him, we can then take a look at the prosperous world outside. We don't have to stay in this godforsaken oasis anymore."

His suggestion received the agreement of many people.

Everyone immediately became excited.

But Bai Tiandi spoke up. "If I want to leave, I will defeat him myself. The future Celestial Emperor will not participate in your plan."

Bai Tiandi had his own pride.

He wouldn't join forces with these people to collectively attack Lin Jiufeng.

But other than Bai Tiandi, everyone else wanted to join forces and give it a try.

"Then it's decided!"

"Let's attack together and take him down!"

The person who made the suggestion became excited as if he could already see Lin Jiufeng's death.

But then…

"Do you lot want to rebel?" A cold and oppressive voice shook the surroundings.

The sky instantly darkened.

The world turned monochrome as the roar of the sea resounded in their ears.

Immediately afterwards, a bright moon rose.

Dong dong dong!

The light that rose from the moon illuminated the surroundings and covered everyone's bodies, causing their bodies to become heavy as their knees folded beneath them, forcing them to kneel on the ground.

No one could withstand the pressure.

The pressure was so overwhelming it seemed to be out of this world.

They wished that they could do something to relieve the pressure, but they could only watch in horror.

Only Bai Tiandi remained unaffected. He stood aside and watched in shock.

The roar of the sea and the might of the moon made it obvious who it was.

"He became stronger again." Bai Tiandi clenched his fists, shocked.

This was too terrifying.

Lin Jiufeng's improvement speed was more than ten times faster than his.

Or even… a hundred times?

Rumble!

The pressure of the sea bore down on the 29 people, causing them to vomit blood.

They were drenched in sweat as they laid on the ground, no longer kneeling.

"Sir, I was wrong! Please spare us." Old Man Luo shouted in horror.

"Sir, I was wrong! Please forgive me!" The others also shouted.

No one could endure such pressure.

No one dared to provoke Lin Jiufeng anymore.

"If there's a next time, there will be death!" Lin Jiufeng's cold voice sounded.

Then, the bright moon and the sea disappeared altogether.

The world became bright once again as if everything that happened just now never happened.

But Old Man Luo saw with his own eyes that the person who proposed to attack Lin Jiufeng together had died.

Even his Divine Soul was annihilated by Lin Jiufeng.

Old Man Luo was so scared that his pants became wet.

If he hadn't begged for mercy just now, Lin Jiufeng truly would've killed them all.

Not just the one who suggested the idea.
