Divine Grade Grotto-heaven.

Lin Jiufeng was overjoyed when he received this reward.

‘The Human God Realm is equivalent to a huge mountain. Only by crossing this mountain could one arrive at the next realm…’

‘The Human God Realm is a concept far too surreal for ordinary people. It’s a mountain that they could never scale. But only those who have truly arrived at the summit of this mountain will be able to see and understand the vastness of the world, the vast expanse of heaven and earth, and the existence of other mountains.’

Lin Jiufeng lamented.

The Human God Realm was a mountain and he was standing on its summit.

He was now about to see the real world beyond it.

The next realm after the Human God Realm was the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

Opening a grotto-heaven in one’s body was tantamount to creating a small, independent world inside one’s body.

This independent world was called ‘Inner World’.

A cultivator could open multiple grotto-heavens, and once they have opened their tenth grotto-heaven…

Their might would truly become terrifying.

Most of the demons in the demon’s den beneath the Cold Palace were at the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

But their grotto-heavens had long dried up. Lin Jiufeng was able to defeat them so easily because of this.

‘I’ve seen it in some secret books. Grotto-heavens are also divided into grades. They are divided into different grades because of the varying strengths they bestow upon their owner. This Grotto-heaven is a Divine Grade one, is divine the best grade?’ Lin Jiufeng pondered.

Standing at the entrance of the demon’s den, Lin Jiufeng eventually stopped thinking about it.

He decided to return for now and assimilate the Grotto-heaven he had just received and turn it into his own. Afterwards, he could then study the Divine Grade Grotto-heaven in his person.

“This demon’s den is truly a treasure trove with infinite treasures.”

Lin Jiufeng was satisfied and had a good impression of the demon’s den in the underground palace.

But the demons within the demon’s den weren’t happy.

After Lin Jiufeng left, the Demon Gods all gnashed their teeth in hatred and fury.

“He has gone too far!”

“Is he treating us like clowns or domesticated animals?”

“He always comes to humiliate us at least once a day. He obviously won’t let us out. When have we—in our entire life—experienced something like this?”

“We have to think of a way to fight back. How did our demon’s den that once shook the world become like this?”

Disgruntled and filled with rage, the demons and the Demon Gods wished nothing but the chance to cut Lin Jiufeng into pieces.

“This seal is too strange. It always takes us ten days to break it. We’re already too weak and he can always set this seal up like it’s nothing. Unless he dies, there is no way for us to break this seal and escape,” a demon said in distress.

“There’s still a way!”

All of a sudden, a Demon God woke up from his slumber as he blurted out solemnly.

“Skyfiend, do you have a solution?”

The other Demon Gods became excited when they saw this Demon God.

Although all of them were classified as Demon Gods, there was still a huge gap between them.

Ordinary Demon Gods were stronger than demons, but among Demon Gods?

They were at the bottom.

Demon Gods that were truly powerful would receive their own honorific names.

One of those Demon Gods was this newly awakened Skyfiend.

His honorific name was Skyfiend.

Everyone respected his name.

This proved his status among them.

“It will take me at least three days to break this seal. It’s just too strange. Sadly, that person comes here every day, so we cannot break this seal through conventional methods.” Skyfiend stood at the bottom of the abyss, he looked at the seal above them as he commented.

“Lord Skyfiend, you are one of the seven founders of our demon’s den. Your demonic cultivation base is world-shaking. Is there a way for us to deal with this seal?” A demon asked respectfully.

“Yes, there is!” Skyfiend smiled confidently.

The other demons and Demon Gods all looked at Skyfiend.

Excitement could be seen within their eyes.

As soon as they got out, they would immediately rejuvenate their grotto-heavens by absorbing the spiritual energy in the air. Once they have recovered, they would immediately go and chop Lin Jiufeng into pieces.

“Yes, we cannot get out on our own. But back then, I had set up a contingency plan. I separated a portion of the weaker demons from us and the place where they are sealed isn’t that far from us. We should be able to wake them up and let them come here to rescue us,” Skyfiend said.

“That despicable and shameless human has a pretty high cultivation base. He’s already at the peak of the Human God Realm,” a Demon God said in worry.

Why couldn’t they leave?

The seal was just a small matter.

Given some time, it would be easy for them to break the seal.

But there was this Lin Jiufeng who came here every day to beat them up. What’s worse was that afterwards, he would always reinforce the seal back to its full strength.

Having fought with Lin Jiufeng before, even though they didn’t want to admit it, they had to nod and say:

After having fought against Lin Jiufeng, these demons were reluctant to admit it, but they had no other choice but to accept that…

Lin Jiufeng was very powerful.

“Yes… that despicable human is so powerful that his strength seems to be more than that of a Human God cultivator…” A Demon God bared his teeth and muttered in grievance.

Only after one was given a beatdown by Lin Jiufeng could they understand how powerful he was.

The might he had was suffocating, it was unfathomable and boundless.

None of these demons knew just how strong Lin Jiufeng truly was. Did he even use all of his strength against them? Where was his limit?

“No matter how powerful he is, he is still just one person. This time, I’m going to call hundreds of demons to come here and bring disaster to this world. I don’t think he’ll be able to save everyone alone,” Skyfiend said confidently.

When the other Demon Gods heard this, they felt relieved.

Each one of them looked forward to it.

“I will use a secret technique to inform the people of the other Devil’s Dens to come out and then come here. Let this world welcome the arrival of the 3,000 Demon Gods!” Skyfiend spread his arms and said, full of confidence in his words.

“I have a secret technique to forcefully awaken our people from the other demon’s den. I’ll use it and tell them to come out and come here…”

“Let this world welcome the arrival of 3,000 Demon Gods!”

Skyfiend spread his arms and announced. The arrogance in his voice couldn’t be unmasked.

The other Demon Gods also roared with laughter.

They seemed to be already imagining in their heads—the scene of Lin Jiufeng kneeling in front of them while begging for his life.

…

The Great Yan Dynasty…

The Holy Maiden, Miss Hong…

The 30 Human Gods have finally arrived to answer her call.

She personally gave guidance to these Human Gods and she was essentially the reason why they were in the realm that they were in right now.

They were grateful to her and they immediately answered her request without hesitation.

“The Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty has gone senile. He wanted to betroth me to His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. Yesterday, the court officials and the army forced him to abdicate and before even morning could arrive, he committed suicide.”

Miss Hong softly uttered as she looked at the 30 Human Gods.

In a small dynasty like the Great Yan Dynasty, her strength and prestige were enough to overturn the imperial power with only a few words on her end.

It was understandable why she said that the Emperor had gone senile and the Crown Prince was out of his mind. To think that he actually dared to covet her beauty.

“All we need to do by now is to lead the army and go to the Yuhua God Dynasty. Then, we’ll ask Emperor Ming to release and pardon the dethroned Crown Prince. Afterwards, we’ll bring him to the Great Yan Dynasty and help him ascend to the throne, giving him infinite glory…”

“I believe that the dethroned Crown Prince will be overjoyed with this arrangement.”

The towering man laughed.

“Yes…”

“The last time we went to the Cold Palace, we didn’t see the dethroned Crown Prince. Instead, we encountered that Human God of the Yuhua God Dynasty.”

“Back then, we were suppressed…”

“This time, I don’t think that the same will happen again. There are 30 of us Human Gods in a group, we will definitely be able to make the Yuhua God Dynasty agree to hand over the dethroned Crown Prince,” Monk Qingyun was confident.

If a battle truly happened, these 30 Human Gods were enough to overthrow the entire Yuhua God Dynasty.

“If that is the case, then why do we have to bring the army with us? Why don’t we just go there ourselves?” Daoist Liu Yun was confused.

“It’s not that simple…”

“We might be Human Gods, but we are just 30 individuals in total.”

“Our numbers just aren’t domineering enough…”

“To the dethroned Crown Prince whose cultivation was destroyed and after having been imprisoned for decades, seeing an army with tens of thousands of people will have a more shocking effect than seeing 30 Human Gods.”

“At that time, when all of us addressed him together as ‘Your Majesty’…”

“The grievances that he had experienced throughout the years will then burst out.”

Monk Qingyun shook his head and patiently explained.

“Considering all of this, the dethroned Crown Prince would definitely be endlessly grateful to Miss Hong. Since Miss Hong wants to repay her debt of gratitude, we have to do it in the most exaggerated way possible to elicit the best possible effect.” Monk Qingyun added.

“Monk, you’re so sly,” said a Human God.

The others nodded in agreement.

Miss Hong smiled happily.

She waved her hand and said firmly, “Give the order to the army to set off! We shall set off for the Yuhua God Dynasty and rescue the dethroned Crown Prince!”
