Diary Continues, Sword-Collecting Mountain!

Purple Origin Immortal Mansion.

The cultivators were all somewhat gloating over the Nine Heavens Sword Sect's misfortune.

After all, the Nine Heavens Sword Sect is notorious for its domineering ways.

At the Xiao residence, Xiao Ziling said with a grin, "So the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Nine Heavens Sword Sect also have a grudge!"

"This is wonderful! I really hope the Desolate Heavenly Emperor can intervene and teach them a lesson."

Xiao Jing also snorted coldly and said, "They actually dared to send people to hunt down the Desolate Heavenly Emperor; they truly don't know what's good for them."

Xiao Ziling's eyes darted around:

"That must have been done without their knowledge; otherwise, those bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong certainly wouldn't dare to do such a thing."

At this moment, lines of text appeared on the Projection Screen.

Page 55 of the Diary of the Immortal Great Emperor:

[Hehehe...]

[He successfully infiltrated the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and became an outer disciple.]

[Since I'm an outer disciple, I naturally won't follow the normal procedures to obtain the secret technique step by step.]

[I've inquired about it; the Nine Heavens Sword Sect has a very peculiar rule: disciples who lack talent and make mistakes will be relegated to the sect's Sword-Collecting Mountain.]

What kind of place is Sword-Collecting Mountain?

[That's the final resting place of the fallen masters of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect throughout history. It's full of tombs, and it's said that countless magical treasures are buried inside. Hehehe...]

[This is a great place for archaeological excavation!]

Normally, those exiled to Sword-Collecting Mountain are outer disciples, whose cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage or similar, and they are usually only assigned cleaning duties.

[Furthermore, Sword-Collecting Mountain is protected by a powerful formation, making it impossible for these disciples to enter the core area.]

But for me, this couldn't be simpler!

[The third month after joining the sect.]

[I didn't complete any of my tasks, yet I received a thousand high-grade spirit stones for nothing. I also beat up a few guys I didn't like, and while practicing sword qi, I severely damaged the spirit herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden.]

I received the notification very quickly.

As expected, the sect directly exiled me to Sword-Collecting Mountain to guard the tombs.

Everything is proceeding according to plan...

Alright, I need to prepare for my trip to Sword-Collecting Mountain. I'll stop here for today.

[I suddenly realized, this is actually quite interesting!]

This Diary entry ends here; it didn't reveal any useful information.

But everyone watched it with great interest.

The cultivators from the Nine Provinces and the Immortal Mansion were all in an uproar, discussing the matter amongst themselves.

"Hahaha, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's move was truly vicious!"

"I thought he would join the Nine Heavens Sword Sect directly to obtain the secret techniques based on his superior strength, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"

"That's a vicious move. Are they planning to wipe out the Nine Heavens Sword Sect's stronghold in one fell swoop? Hehe."

"The Nine Heavens Sword Sect is a top-tier power in the Purple Origin Immortal Mansion, so Sword-Collecting Mountain must have many good things."

While the world was abuzz with discussion, the elders within the Nine Heavens Sword Sect remained silent.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was somewhat strange.

Each of them had a strange expression and shifty eyes, and it was impossible to tell what they were thinking.

Sword-Collecting Mountain!

Within the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, that was a forbidden area.

There's a reason why only outer disciples were assigned to guard the area.

Firstly, the outer disciples' cultivation levels are not high enough, and their strength determines that they cannot enter the forbidden areas of Sword-Collecting Mountain.

Furthermore, outer disciples have poor talent and short lifespans, so being sent to guard tombs is basically a death sentence.

This way, the sect's secrets won't be leaked.

This rule was originally set up to prevent the secrets of the forbidden area from being leaked.

But now it seems it also has fatal flaws!

That means that once a top-tier expert infiltrates, it's impossible to defend against them.

Without a doubt, the protective sword formation of Sword-Collecting Mountain cannot defend against the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

"Sect Master, what's wrong?"

At that moment, a somewhat surprised voice rang out, and everyone turned to look.

Only then did they notice that Sect Master Qin Jian's expression was off!

Qin Jian's expression shifted rapidly, an astonishing killing intent emanating from him, and suddenly a low growl escaped his throat:

"Ah--"

With a flick of his sleeve, Qin Jian unleashed an unparalleled sword aura that pierced through a bronze pillar in the main hall with a deafening boom.

"This..."

The elders were completely bewildered, not understanding why he was reacting so strongly.

Even if they were angry, they wouldn't have lost their temper.

Qin Jian, however, seemed to have gone mad, his eyes bloodshot, and he said in a deep voice, "I understand, I finally understand!"

"Desolate Heavenly Emperor, I swear I will never let you go, I will definitely kill you!"

The elders looked solemn; these words could not be spoken lightly.

Times have changed. Back then, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor dominated the entire Purple Origin Immortal Mansion, and countless Immortal Mansion Emperors were defeated by him.

Especially today?

In the eyes of the elders, even if Sword-Collecting Mountain had indeed been infiltrated and emptied by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, they could only accept it with a heavy heart.

If we were to pursue this matter, wouldn't that be courting death?

The Great Elder of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, an elderly man with white hair and beard, said solemnly, "Sect Master, please calm down!"

"The Desolate Heavenly Emperor is someone our Nine Heavens Sword Sect cannot afford to offend!"

Unexpectedly, Qin Jian became even angrier upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he said, "We can't afford to offend him, but that doesn't mean no one can kill him!"

"I will never let him get away with this!"

Qin Jian's tone was extremely firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Seeing him like this, the elders had no idea what was wrong with him and could only shake their heads inwardly, thinking they would try to persuade him another time!

Is there some unspeakable reason behind this?

For a moment, the hall fell silent again.

A long time.

Qin Jian's anger subsided slightly, and he finally regained some of his composure. He had just seen in the Diary that Lin Feng had infiltrated Sword-Collecting Mountain.

At that moment, he felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.

In an instant, he understood many things.

A look of defeat appeared on Qin Jian's face. If he hadn't seen this Diary, he wouldn't have known that he had been tricked so badly!

Suddenly, he thought of something else...

"It's over!"

"The following Diary might reveal that matter!"

A flicker of fear flashed deep in Qin Jian's eyes, his mind in turmoil.

As one of the Mansion Master of the Purple Origin Immortal Mansion, he hadn't felt this kind of fear in a long time.

But now, he is truly afraid.

"Should we stop the Diary from being exposed at all costs?"

The thought flashed through Qin Jian's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

That's simply impossible.

All the major Immortal Mansion now attach great importance to this Diary and will not allow him to destroy the Communication Array of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Moreover, he couldn't even get past Chu Shanyue's hurdle!

"What to do?"

However, while Qin Jian was still lost in thought, the last Diary he had published this time was exposed again.

On the light screen, lines of text slowly appeared...

Some are happy, some are sad.

The cultivators of all the Immortal Mansion and the Nine Provinces were in an uproar, waiting to see what would happen.

They all wanted to know if the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had really taken all the treasures of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect.

Does Sword-Collecting Mountain truly contain the secret techniques for opening up new realms, Ancestral Palace Secret Treasury?

"They're here! Look!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait!"

Qiongying Immortal Mansion, Extreme Ice Immortal Palace.

Han Xingmian stared intently at the light screen, her face beaming with a smile, and said softly:

"If I had known it would be this fun, I should have come back sooner!"
