Chapter 100: The Alien King

Lin Jiufeng's breakthrough to the Eleventh Ban did not cause much disturbance in the world.

The Sutra Repository remained peaceful, undisturbed even with the addition of the Sacred Beast Qilin.

Like Lin Jiufeng, the Sacred Beast Qilin also enjoyed tranquility.

Though he was born six thousand years ago, he was soon sealed inside a Qilin egg, relying on his own efforts to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. It took him six thousand years to break out of his shell.

Yet, before he could even rest, the people of the Supreme Dao detected his presence and started scheming to capture him.

Forced to flee for years, he lived in constant fear, never daring to let his guard down, pushing himself to grow stronger.

His life had been one of ceaseless wandering.

Now, within the Sutra Repository, he could finally live in peace, a life of serenity he deeply cherished.

Every day, he underwent Lin Jiufeng's treatment.

The vast and boundless energy within Lin Jiufeng astonished even the Sacred Beast Qilin.

His own body was naturally powerful, yet in comparison, Lin Jiufeng surpassed him in every aspect—physical strength, energy reserves, and mastery of Dao techniques.

The Sacred Beast Qilin sighed in frustration. "Why does it feel like you are more of a sacred beast than I am?"

Lin Jiufeng merely smiled without replying.

His body had undergone the tempering of the Divine Demon Refinement Technique, his soul had already transformed into an endless ocean, and he had comprehended countless Dao techniques.

All these elements combined had shaped the Lin Jiufeng of today.

After treating the Qilin, Lin Jiufeng then turned his attention to the White Fox.

Though she wasn't injured, she was on the verge of breaking through to the Tenth Ban, and she needed Lin Jiufeng's help to ease the process.

Once the White Fox's condition stabilized, the three of them gathered together, brewing tea and burning incense, basking in the tranquility.

They watched the mountain scenery, the drifting clouds, the boundless sky, and the whispering wind.

No one spoke, savoring the silence.

After a long while, someone arrived at the Sutra Repository.

It was Wen Xinyun.

She approached the entrance and, upon seeing the Sacred Beast Qilin, exclaimed in surprise, "Shibo, why is a Sacred Beast Qilin here?"

The Sacred Beast Qilin gave her a glance before closing his eyes again, continuing his nap in comfort.

Lin Jiufeng chuckled. "He is my friend and will be staying here for a while. Why have you come to find me?"

Wen Xinyun smiled sweetly and sat down beside Lin Jiufeng. "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Shibo, so I came to visit."

Lin Jiufeng teased, "You are now one of the Ten Great Kings, the renowned Senior Sister of the Yuhua Sect. With such a busy schedule, do you still have time to visit me?"

Wen Xinyun pouted. "Shibo, don't tease me. What Ten Great Kings? Compared to you, the Human God, I am nothing. You defeated and crippled several of the top Ten Great Kings, leaving them powerless. Yet some opportunists have taken advantage of that."

Lin Jiufeng raised an eyebrow. "Opportunists? Who are you referring to?"

The White Fox also perked up in curiosity.

"It's that so-called Alien King," Wen Xinyun said with disdain.

"The Alien King?" Lin Jiufeng thought for a moment. Among this generation's Ten Great Kings, there was indeed one from overseas who had swept through the land, defeating countless experts, earning widespread fame before securing a spot among the Ten Great Kings.

"What about him?" Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

The White Fox also turned to look at Wen Xinyun.

Even the Sacred Beast Qilin, who had been dozing off, opened his eyes and silently observed.

Wen Xinyun immediately explained, "Ever since this Alien King arrived in the Central Plains, he has been known for his arrogance. At first, he swept through the region, defeating countless experts and declaring that there was no one in the Central Plains who could challenge him."

Lin Jiufeng frowned. "Such arrogance."

The White Fox snorted. "He only pushed through a mere eighty thousand miles from the coast. That distance may seem far, but he never even encountered the true masters of the cultivation world. Defeating a few weaklings and then boasting? Ridiculous."

The Sacred Beast Qilin suddenly interjected, "A year ago, I heard of this Alien King's arrogance and planned to challenge him myself. But as soon as he sensed my presence, he fled without meeting me."

Lin Jiufeng was baffled. "Didn't he claim he wanted to challenge the Central Plains' top experts? Why would he run away?"

The Sacred Beast Qilin shook his head, also confused.

Wen Xinyun sneered. "Because he's not as brave or powerful as he claims to be. Before every battle, he thoroughly investigates his opponent to ensure victory. When he sensed Shibo Qilin's presence, he knew he had no chance and fled immediately to maintain his undefeated record."

"I see…" The Sacred Beast Qilin was speechless.

Lin Jiufeng's gaze turned cold. "Such a coward, yet he dares claim the Central Plains has no worthy opponents?"

Wen Xinyun nodded. "Many people have begun questioning him. To silence them, he recently declared that he would defeat the other Ten Great Kings."

Lin Jiufeng's expression darkened. "Is he targeting Jiu Fengzi, the Peach Blossom Mountain Daoist, and Wufa Chan Master?"

Those three had fought against Lin Jiufeng and were gravely injured—especially Jiu Fengzi, whose future cultivation path had been completely severed. It would take him at least one or two years to recover.

Wen Xinyun nodded lightly, her tone full of disdain. "He has already hunted down Peach Blossom Mountain Daoist and Wufa Chan Master, forcing them to flee in defeat, both heavily wounded."

"The Alien King declared in front of everyone that these so-called great masters were nothing and that they were unworthy of being mentioned in the same breath as him. Next, he vowed to kill Jiu Fengzi."

The White Fox was furious. "They were already exhausted after their battle with Shibo, making them easy targets. Attacking them now is the most shameless thing I've ever heard!"

The Sacred Beast Qilin also seethed with anger. "They risked their very souls to perform the Twenty-Four Heavens Technique, nearly shattering their spirits. This Alien King took advantage of their weakness—such disgraceful behavior!"

Lin Jiufeng's expression grew cold. "Peach Blossom Mountain Daoist and Wufa Chan Master were injured from my battle with them. Now this Alien King wants to exploit their weakened state and go after Jiu Fengzi as well? Does he think I don't exist?"

Wen Xinyun immediately said, "Shibo, don't be angry. I also despise this Alien King's methods, so I've decided to eliminate him myself."

Her eyes were sharp and her expression cold.

Lin Jiufeng asked with concern, "Are you confident?"

Wen Xinyun smiled brightly. "Shibo, I've fully comprehended the Grass and Wood Sword Technique and even incorporated my own insights. I want to carve my own path."

"And this Alien King will be the first to fall beneath my sword!"

"Good. I support you. Take a look at this sword technique." Lin Jiufeng suddenly reached out and touched Wen Xinyun's forehead.

Boom!

He transmitted the Life and Death Sword Technique, a skill refined over three thousand years by the Daoist of Grass and Wood.

This technique was imbued with the power of the Human Dao and was incredibly powerful. If Wen Xinyun could fully comprehend it, breaking through to the Eleventh Ban would be inevitable.

"Thank you, Shibo! I'll leave immediately. I'll be back in a few days—wait for my good news!" Wen Xinyun said excitedly.

"Alright," Lin Jiufeng replied warmly, watching as she descended the mountain.
