Background
Lin Jiufeng transmigrated into a cultivation world and initially pursued immortality, but his poor talent left him unable to advance beyond ordinary cultivation. After saving a Feather Transformation Sect elder, he was accepted as a disciple and eventually became the Scripture Pavilion's guardian. He cultivated a wood-element technique for a century merely to extend his life, reaching the age of 130 without breaking through the First Restriction. 1 2
His fortunes changed after he read the biography of Zhou Sheng, a sect genius killed by the Supreme Dao Sect after comprehending the lost Feather Ascension Scripture. Lin Jiufeng's Heaven-Defying Comprehension activated, allowing him to understand the complete scripture and begin advancing at extraordinary speed. 1 2
Though he preferred quiet cultivation in the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Jiufeng regarded the Feather Transformation Sect as his home and intervened when the Supreme Dao Sect threatened it. He later became a central protector of the Human Race in the Dimension Battlefield, fighting the Hundred Races and repeatedly defeating opponents above his realm. 4 16 172 303
After major wars ended, he returned to the Scripture Pavilion for seclusion, reorganizing his many techniques and pursuing further understanding of the Great Dao through the Great Dream of Spring and Autumn. 372 373
