After signing in, Lin Jiufeng wanted to continue his exploration of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

But a line of words appeared before his eyes.

[Sign-In can be repeated here. Different tombs yield different rewards.]

Lin Jiufeng immediately dispelled his desire to continue his exploration.

He turned around and left.

‘I shall slowly reap the rewards here first. This place is similar to that demon’s den. It’s enough for me to sign in for a long time, there’s no need to explore everything here at once.’

Lin Jiufeng told himself in his heart.

Venturing here and discovering a different reward each day from different tombs was also a very interesting endeavor for Lin Jiufeng.

In any case, he had nothing to do at the moment, and he had no intention of going out in the meantime anyway…

Thus, he decided to stay his hand for now and be patient.

After coming out of the Land of Extreme Negative Energy, Lin Jiufeng returned to the courtyard.

He saw the white cat lying on the frost jade bed. He reached out and picked her up. Then, he infused his True Qi into her body to help her through her bottleneck in her breakthrough.

Meow!

The white cat meowed and buried her little head in Lin Jiufeng’s arms.

She seemed to enjoy Lin Jiufeng’s massages with his hands infused with his True Qi.

“You’re not going to explore that place anymore?”

The white cat opened her eyes and asked curiously.

“I don’t have to do it so fast. I’m planning on exploring it day by day. After all, I have a lot of time in my hands,” Lin Jiufeng replied.

The white cat thought about it and agreed.

Lin Jiufeng indeed had a lot of time.

She enjoyed being alone with Lin Jiufeng.

She found it indescribably comfortable to be with him.

Furthermore, no one came here to disturb them.

“I must definitely make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.”

The white cat made up her mind. Her eyes that were filled with stars shone resplendently as ever as she raised her small claws in firm determination.

Lin Jiufeng smiled gently. “Sure, I’ll help you make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm…”

Meow~

The white cat called out warmly.

She couldn’t bear to leave Lin Jiufeng anymore. Especially after he said those words.

In the white cat’s entire life, there were only two people whom she regarded as ‘important’.

The first was the Demon Lord.

He was the one who picked her up and raised her up from a newborn cat into a grown one.

After the Demon Lord died, the white cat whom he raised protected the underground palace for hundreds of years before she met Lin Jiufeng.

After that, she spent decades with Lin Jiufeng.

In the beginning, she disliked the latter and refused to let him hug or touch her.

But now, whenever she saw Lin Jiufeng, she had this urge to throw herself into his arms.

She couldn’t bear to leave Lin Jiufeng’s side anymore.

She had grown to completely accept Lin Jiufeng’s existence in her life.

This was how the white cat felt.

Lin Jiufeng also felt the same way.

The person that Lin Jiufeng cared about the most had already passed away.

He had nothing to care about, but the white cat.

Hence, he wanted to help the white cat make a breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

This way, she could live for a very long time.

Then, she would be able to be with Lin Jiufeng for a long time.

She would be able to accompany Lin Jiufeng on his journey to the true summit of cultivation.

He wanted to bring the white cat with him as he crossed over this great mountain of the cultivation path.

The summit of this mountain would definitely be cold.

Without the white cat, Lin Jiufeng was bound to be lonely on his journey.

…

Lin Jiufeng decided to help the white cat in its breakthrough into the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

But the process lasted for five whole years.

Five years had passed since the demons left the Imperial Capital, the world had greatly changed since then as countless people from the previous era also slowly came to being after breaking their seals.

In the past five years, Lin Jiufeng had never left the Cold Palace even once.

He spent his seventieth birthday in the Cold Palace two years ago.

It has been more than 50 years since Lin Jiufeng entered the Cold Palace.

As usual, he continued his daily routine of quietly signing in.

Over the past five years, Lin Jiufeng had already explored and signed in to at least half of the tombs in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

He received various things from signing in at different tombs.

80 to 90% of what he received were cultivation techniques—most of them were the arts and techniques that the owner of the tomb cultivated throughout his entire life.

Each one of them was extremely rare, they could not be found even if one dedicated their entire life to it, but in here—they all became a part of Lin Jiufeng’s arsenal.

He accepted and learned everything. Not only did he learn sword skills, but he also learned all sorts of peerless techniques. As long as he obtained them from signing in, Lin Jiufeng would study and cultivate them diligently.

He always became well-versed in them, and they seamlessly became a part of his strength.

After five years, Lin Jiufeng had become exponentially stronger.

But no one knew about it for he remained in the Cold Palace throughout the entire five years.

As for the white cat—
