Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

Lin Jiufeng reforged the Feathered Ascension Sutra, transforming it into a talisman and fusing it into his Dao Golden Core.

Boom!

As the Dao Golden Core absorbed the Feathered Ascension Sutra, it began to tremble, breathing in and out like a living entity, carving and reshaping the sutra anew, granting it fresh vitality and a deeper connection to the Dao.

With the Dao Golden Core taking shape, it naturally attracted the power of the Great Dao.

This was a crucial window of opportunity. Before the golden core fully stabilized, Lin Jiufeng had to imprint all his past cultivation techniques onto it, allowing them to undergo the baptism of the Dao and be reborn.

The Feathered Ascension Sutra was merely the first—it would not be the last.

At this moment, Lin Jiufeng transformed every technique he had ever mastered into talismans and imprinted them onto his Dao Golden Core.

Everlasting Vitality, Dragon Elephant Strength, Verdant Sword Art, Primordial Soul Transcendence, Ten Kings of Hell, Mountain-Flipping Seal, Earth-Shaking Seal, The Way of Nature, Mortal World Illustration, Rain Incantation, Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, Grand River Swordsmanship, One Sword to Annihilate Immortals, The Gate of Ten Thousand Arts, A Thought Blooms, A Monarch Reigns, Life and Death Sword, Ascension Art…

Each technique that had accompanied Lin Jiufeng on his journey was now reborn within the Dao Golden Core.

As this process continued, the Dao Golden Core frantically absorbed the power of the Great Dao, modifying these techniques and enhancing their might. As a result, both the golden core and Lin Jiufeng's strength surged.

Once all the techniques from the mortal world were inscribed, he began imprinting the greater Daos he had comprehended:

Time, Space, Yin-Yang, and the Four Great Phenomena.

Boom!

The Dao Golden Core continued to expand, absorbing these Daos and phenomena, undergoing a complete transformation. It was no longer comparable to the Dao Golden Cores of others.

Even if someone else followed the same process, they would never match Lin Jiufeng's terrifying collection of techniques, phenomena, and Daos.

He had fully mastered Time, Space, Yin-Yang, and Thunder, and now they were all inscribed into his Dao Golden Core.

Finally, Lin Jiufeng engraved the immortal arts he had comprehended:

Judgment Seven Forms: Severing the Horizon

Judgment Seven Forms: The Wanderer's Journey

Panwu Divine Strength

The moment these three immortal arts were imprinted, the Dao Golden Core expanded to the size of a massive mountain, unleashing terrifying energy waves as it assimilated the techniques.

This alone was proof of the immense power of immortal arts. The enhancement of the Dao Golden Core had reached an extreme, and now, it began refining and stabilizing its newfound power.

As the golden core's might increased, so did Lin Jiufeng's physical and spiritual strength.

The most direct effect was his Divine Demon Power.

Previously, Lin Jiufeng had reached forty strands of Divine Demon Power, an already terrifying level. But with the evolution of his Dao Golden Core, his strength continued to rise.

Boom!

A whirlwind of pure physical force erupted around him, sweeping everything in its path.

This was no mere energy fluctuation—this was sheer, unfiltered physical might.

In an instant, his Divine Demon Power increased by ten strands, reaching fifty strands.

And it didn't stop.

Sixty strands!

Seventy strands!

Eighty strands!

It was as if there was no limit.

His Divine Demon Power skyrocketed, soaring until it reached a hundred strands.

Boom!

With this level of raw power, Lin Jiufeng had officially stepped into the realm of gods and demons.

His overwhelming physical strength fueled the expansion of his primordial soul, elevating it to an unfathomable level.

At that moment, within Lin Jiufeng's divine consciousness, a tremendous rumbling echoed—

The Panwu Divine Strength was forging a Panwu Space.

Previously, when he had broken through the Thirteen Forbidden Realms, the Panwu Divine Strength had opened sixty Panwu Spaces.

Now, as he reached the peak of Fourteen Forbidden Realms, the number of Panwu Spaces surged again.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A rapid succession of explosions rang out as a hundred Panwu Spaces were created within his divine consciousness.

With this, the Panwu Divine Strength had ascended to an entirely new level.

It could now double Lin Jiufeng's raw power.

Simultaneously, his comprehension of Time and Space advanced.

Previously, he could stretch a moment of time tenfold.

Now, bolstered by the Dao Golden Core, that ratio had skyrocketed—

He could now create a hundredfold time difference.

For every single day that passed in the outside world, he could experience a hundred.

Without hesitation, Lin Jiufeng immediately activated this ability, giving himself time to fully stabilize his breakthrough.

As the final immortal arts were inscribed into the Dao Golden Core, it finished assimilating everything, bringing this incredible transformation to its conclusion.

Lin Jiufeng had undergone a complete metamorphosis.

Compared to his previous Thirteen Forbidden Realms self, he was now on an entirely different level.

His Space Dao had advanced.

His Yin-Yang Dao had advanced.

The Four Great Phenomena had strengthened.

Even his Divine Demon Physique had evolved.

The Dao Golden Core had refined and enhanced every technique, Dao, and phenomenon he had ever mastered—except for the immortal arts, which remained untouched.

With the breakthrough complete, Lin Jiufeng withdrew his aura, allowing the Dao Golden Core to shrink and condense until it became a single golden pill, which then merged into his golden primordial soul.

Boom!

The might of his golden primordial soul soared to a terrifying peak, rivaling even his hundred-strand Divine Demon Physique.

From the very start, Lin Jiufeng had vowed to walk both paths simultaneously, keeping his physical and spiritual cultivation perfectly balanced.

Now, he had achieved that ideal.

Lin Jiufeng clenched his fists, feeling the overwhelming power surging through him.

Satisfied, he declared, "At this point, I can go head-to-head with a Seventeen Forbidden Realms expert."

As for Sixteen Forbidden Realms, with their so-called Heavenly Transformation, he no longer considered them a challenge.

This was the confidence granted by his hundred strands of Divine Demon Power and the fusion of his Dao Golden Core with his primordial soul.

With his breakthrough complete, Lin Jiufeng rose to his feet, shaking off the dust.

He turned toward the Taiyuan Immortal Palace.

What he saw made his expression shift.

The once-thriving palace was now depleted of energy. Most of its regions had fallen dormant, and 1,500 colossal formations had ceased operating. Only the most fundamental arrays remained active, sustaining a single portion of the palace.

The rest had faded into a lifeless gray.

Lin Jiufeng immediately thought of Taiyuan Immortal—he had been using the palace's energy to save Sword God Emperor Liu.

Now that the energy was gone, what had become of him?

Lin Jiufeng focused his divine consciousness—

He saw Taiyuan Immortal and Sword God Emperor Liu.

Taiyuan Immortal was lounging comfortably in a chair, eyes closed, seemingly at ease.

Not far from him, Sword God Emperor Liu stood tall, his aura like an unsheathed divine blade, brimming with unstoppable sharpness.

He was alive!

Lin Jiufeng's eyes lit up, and he instantly teleported to them.

Sensing his arrival, Taiyuan Immortal opened his eyes, stood up with a smile, and said,

"Mission accomplished. I have returned him to you, completely unharmed."
