Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

Lin Jiufeng had performed the Rain Sigil multiple times, releasing vast amounts of spiritual energy. This energy had dispersed around the Yuhua Sect's mountain gates, bestowing fortune upon lifeless objects, granting them spiritual intelligence, and transforming them into spirit creatures.

However, unlike Little Fox, these newly awakened mountain spirits and wild beasts lacked ancestral bloodline memories. Their cultivation relied solely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth—a slow process. Though they possessed great potential, without guidance from a master or access to profound techniques, their future achievements would be limited.

Thus, when Bai Yunfei arrived, these spirit creatures did not hesitate to swear allegiance to him and become the new generation of disciples in the Yuhua Sect.

They held deep affection for the Yuhua Sect, as they had been part of its surroundings since long before gaining intelligence.

With the arrival of these new disciples, the Yuhua Sect was revitalized.

Previously, only a handful of people remained. The once vast sect grounds had become eerily empty, with many halls and buildings left unused.

Now, with the influx of new disciples, the Yuhua Sect was like an old man on the brink of death, suddenly granted a second life.

Bai Yunfei was extremely busy.

Having accepted these disciples, he took full responsibility for them—teaching them cultivation fundamentals, passing down techniques, and educating them on the rules of the cultivation world.

Realizing he could not handle everything alone, he enlisted the help of three other disciples, making them serve as senior brothers and sisters, setting an example for the newcomers.

Thus, the Yuhua Sect became lively and thriving.

Meanwhile, Lin Jiufeng's Scripture Pavilion grew peaceful.

With Wen Xinyun and the others busy, Lin Jiufeng found himself enjoying even more tranquility.

Every day, he read books, meditated, practiced cultivation, sipped tea, and comprehended the Dao.

Occasionally, he would playfully tease Little Fox, relishing in the simple pleasures of life.

As for the threats from the Supreme Dao Sect and the Wen Clan, Lin Jiufeng paid them no mind. With Bai Yunfei's breakthrough into the Ninth Restriction, the existential crisis that had plagued the Yuhua Sect was no longer as pressing.

This was the power of the Ninth Restriction.

Bai Yunfei had reached the Ninth Restriction.

Lin Jiufeng had also reached the Ninth Restriction.

With two Ninth Restriction powerhouses, the Yuhua Sect was no longer an easy target.

Moreover, with three hundred new disciples, the once silent sect became lively once more. This sudden resurgence drew the attention of outsiders.

When people saw that the Yuhua Sect—once suppressed by the Supreme Dao Sect—now had hundreds of new disciples, they were shocked and came to investigate.

What they discovered shook the cultivation world to its core.

Yuhua Sect's Sect Master, Bai Yunfei, had broken through to the Ninth Restriction, standing atop the cultivation world!

This news shattered expectations.

Few could believe it.

Yet, as more witnesses swore by its authenticity, the entire cultivation world erupted into an uproar.

The Cultivation World's Reaction

"Bai Yunfei? Ninth Restriction? Impossible!"

"Didn't he just break through to the Eighth Restriction a few years ago?"

"I've spent my entire life struggling and still haven't reached the Eighth Restriction, yet he's already at the Ninth?!"

"The Yuhua Sect is about to rise again! With such a terrifying sect master, their dominance could last for centuries!"

"The Supreme Dao Sect better think twice before making a move now."

"But the Yuhua Sect has more than one enemy—let's not forget about the hidden aristocratic Wen Clan."

"If the Supreme Dao Sect and Wen Clan both move against them, not even a Ninth Restriction cultivator could withstand the siege."

Supreme Dao Sect – Council Hall

Bang!

The Supreme Dao Sect's current sect master slammed his fist against the table, flipping it over in fury. His face was dark with rage as he roared:

"He actually broke through to the Ninth Restriction? In just a few years?!"

"How is that possible?!"

"I have devoted decades to tireless cultivation and still cannot grasp the threshold of the Ninth Restriction. Yet he… he breaks through as if it were nothing?!"

At his side, the hawk-nosed elder spoke in a deep voice:

"Something is off. Bai Yunfei's rapid breakthrough is unnatural."

The Supreme Dao Sect Master took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

"Even if there is something unusual about his progress, what can we do? The Supreme Elders are still in seclusion. Without them, how can we confront the Yuhua Sect?"

A shadow passed over the hawk-nosed elder's face, and his voice dropped to a whisper:

"There is another way."

The sect master narrowed his eyes.

"Speak."

The elder smirked sinisterly:

"We do nothing."

"Instead, we let the Wen Clan do our work for us."

The Supreme Dao Sect Master's anger subsided, replaced by cold calculation.

"And how exactly do we make the Wen Clan act?"

The elder's smirk widened.

"The world now knows Bai Yunfei reached the Ninth Restriction at an absurd speed."

"That means he must have either a treasure or a secret technique capable of allowing someone to break through."

"All we have to do is spread rumors that the Yuhua Sect possesses such a miraculous method."

The sect master's eyes gleamed with malicious intent.

"Yes… anyone would covet such a thing."

The elder nodded.

"We stir the flames, let greed consume the world, and make the entire cultivation realm turn its sights on the Yuhua Sect."

"At the same time, we push the Wen Clan to lead the charge."

"If Bai Yunfei refuses to surrender the secret, he will face the wrath of every cultivator hungry for power."

The Supreme Dao Sect Master slammed his palm onto the armrest of his chair.

"Brilliant!"

"The entire world will come hunting for him."

"This time, we shall be the hidden predator, waiting for the perfect moment to strike."

The hawk-nosed elder grinned coldly.

Just as he turned to leave, he paused and asked:

"When will the Supreme Elders emerge from seclusion?"

The Supreme Dao Sect Master's eyes gleamed darkly.

"Three months."

The elder let out a chilling laugh.

"Good… let's see if the Yuhua Sect can survive until then."
