A Diary, A Sect!

Yuan Ruoyu arrived at an ancient secret chamber within the Jade Pool Holy Land.

This place was a forbidden zone.

It housed records regarding the past patriarchs of the Jade Pool Holy Land, including the cultivation techniques they practiced, the arts they excelled in, and the magical treasures they wielded.

Aside from memorial ceremonies, very few people ever came here on ordinary days.

How could a patriarch become an envoy of the Heavenly Court?

Was it forced, or voluntary?

As Yuan Ruoyu flipped through the records, she couldn't help but ponder these questions; if she didn't get to the bottom of these matters, she would feel as if she had a bone stuck in her throat.

Furthermore, the most critical task now was to identify who the opponent was and how much power they could mobilize in the mortal realm.

These things concerned not only her but also the whereabouts of Lin Feng...

Scroll after scroll of information passed through Yuan Ruoyu's hands.

Finally, after several hours, her gaze fixed on the document in her hand, and she found a clue.

Xiang Qingwan!

She was also a former Holy Venerable of the Jade Pool Holy Land with a cultivation base at the late stage of the Mahayana realm, who had disappeared three hundred thousand years ago after going out to search for spiritual herbs to refine a Tribulation-Breaking Pill.

The notes above also remarked that she had likely met with an accident and perished, or had lost hope of breaking through and passed away from old age.

But no one expected that Xiang Qingwan, who had been missing for three hundred thousand years, would actually return.

And she had even become an envoy of the Immortal Court!

After reading the information in the records, Yuan Ruoyu's expression turned icy, and she exclaimed in shock: "In other words, at least as far back as three hundred thousand years ago, the Immortal Realm had already interfered in the affairs of the mortal world!"

"This timeline must definitely be pushed back much further..."

"What exactly are they trying to do?"

This discovery left her terrified, and her suspicion of the Immortal Realm grew even stronger.

At the same time, she began to worry about the former patriarchs of the Jade Pool Holy Land.

Throughout history, there were over sixty patriarchs from the Jade Pool Holy Land who had ascended.

Are these patriarchs still alive now?

Or have they already met with misfortune?

The more Yuan Ruoyu thought about it, the more alarmed she became, and a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart.

Their opponent was unprecedentedly powerful!

Most importantly, they hadn't even figured out who the opponent was or what their goal was.

"No matter who you are, I will find you!"

Yuan Ruoyu stayed in the secret chamber for half a day before turning to leave.

At this moment, her expression was one of absolute determination.

Qing Province, Southern Region.

Blood Spirit Sect.

Yan Shan looked at the two elders before him—one tall and one short—and said solemnly: "Do you two have the confidence to kill Yan Changkong?"

Beside him, the Great Elder Lei Lie also wore a grave expression.

The two men before them were assassins he had spent a great deal of money to hire from the Shadow Kill Pavilion.

The goal was to eliminate Yan Changkong without making a sound.

Now that the Xuanqing Sect was in the hands of Yan Changkong and developing rapidly, Yan Shan could no longer afford to wait.

The taller elder nodded faintly, looked at Yan Shan, and said: "As long as Sect Master Yan has a way to lure Yan Changkong out of the sect, we have an eighty percent chance of success!"

Yan Shan narrowed his eyes as he sized up the two, but he did not make a decision immediately.

Both of these men were at the late stage of the Spirit Severing realm.

Logically speaking, the two of them joining forces should be enough to deal with one Yan Changkong.

However, Yan Shan did not make a decision immediately, instead saying: "Very well, I will trouble you both. I will contact you again regarding how we shall proceed."

In the end, he still did not trust these two.

Yan Changkong was also at the late stage of the Spirit Severing realm; although he rarely took action, his combat power far exceeded that of others at the same level.

Yan Shan dared not be careless; he would either not act, or he would ensure a kill once he did!

Otherwise, the aftermath would be endless.

After sending the two away, the Great Elder Lei Lie asked impatiently: "Sect Master, do you not trust these two?"

"Their cultivation is not weak, but wanting to kill Yan Changkong without a sound is quite difficult!"

Yan Shan paused, looked at the Great Elder, and said: "They are assassins; if they fail, they can just walk away, but we cannot!"

"Let's wait a little longer; we will eventually find a suitable candidate."

Great Elder Lei Lie bowed slightly and said, "Sect Master, I know what to do."

Ten days passed quietly.

It was time once again for the Heavenly Secret Pavilion to reveal the Great Emperor's Diary.

This time, Yan Changkong did not summon his disciples to watch together, hoping to avoid any further awkward situations.

He thought to himself, Ancestor Lin Feng at this stage clearly wasn't mature enough yet; I should wait a bit longer...

Thinking of something, Yan Changkong couldn't help but smile involuntarily.

The diary constantly mentioned "hiding like a rat" and never participating in sect competitions.

It had reached the point where the first thing disciples said to each other when they met was, "Ha, you sneaky rat!"

Beyond that, every disciple in the sect now aimed to be a "sneaky rat."

The general philosophy was...

Hide and develop!

Balance work with rest!

They refused to participate in any trials or competitions held by the sect, to the point where no one signed up for this year's sect grand tournament.

After considering it, Yan Changkong simply canceled it for the time being.

Because of the diary reveal today.

At this moment, one "sneaky rat" after another emerged from their hiding spots, heading toward the various Projection Arrays within the Xuanqing Sect.

"Senior Brother Yuan, you sneaky rat, you finally decided to come out!"

"Right back at you, aren't you a sneaky rat yourself!"

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

"Hahaha, let's all be sneaky rats together!"

After exchanging greetings, these disciples gathered in small groups, finding spots to wait in silence.

Before long, the Projection Array lit up with a screen of light.

"It's being revealed!"

"Last time, the Ancestor warned us to balance work with rest, which benefited us greatly!"

"I wonder what fresh content there will be this time?"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"I increasingly feel that the Ancestor's comprehension was far beyond his peers, to have summarized the method of balancing work and rest back then."

On the screen, characters began to appear.

Immortal Great Emperor's Diary, Page 13:

[Hiss...]

[I can't go on like this. I'm fine, but my waist can't take it!]

[Quit the vices... starting with me!]

[How can a cultivator like me indulge in pleasure? Diligent cultivation is the only true path!]

[I've made up my mind. Tonight is the last time I'm going to the Drunken Spring Pavilion; I'll bid a proper farewell!]

[I must learn alchemy to be self-sufficient. All my spirit stones lately have gone toward buying pills. The sect's pills are poor quality, and the ones outside are too expensive!]

[Hmm, I'll buy some medicinal herbs while I'm out this time.]

[Enough talk, setting off!]

This entry didn't contain much useful information.

The crowd whispered among themselves for a moment before continuing to wait for the next page.

Immortal Great Emperor's Diary, Page 14:

[Got a bit injured, but it's no big deal!]

[I was ambushed on the way back from buying herbs. Fortunately, my vigilance was high enough, or I would have been done for.]

[It's a pity about the soft armor Ruoyu gave me; it was damaged in the fight. Such a shame.]

[It was people from the Blood Spirit Sect!]

[That sect is vicious and specializes in heinous acts. I knew it—they often abduct mortals to practice the Blood Spirit Great Method! Damn them! Sooner or later, I will destroy them!]

[That guy named Yan Yu is the son of a Blood Spirit Sect hall master, I think his name is Yan Shan, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!]

[I don't care who you are; if you fall into my hands, I'm killing you first!]

[I didn't leave any survivors. I dissolved the bodies with Corpse-Dissolving Liquid and then burned the scene to the ground. I checked carefully to ensure I didn't leave anything of mine behind!]

[I took their storage rings, but I'm not in a rush to open them. I'll deal with that later to prevent being tracked.]

[For the sake of safety, I will hide in the sect for now, lying low for three to five years before doing anything else...]

The diary entry ended there once again.

However, the content this time caused a massive uproar.

Whether it was the Xuanqing Sect or the Blood Spirit Sect at this moment, everyone watching the content on the light screen was somewhat stunned.

The Immortal Great Emperor had such a grudge against the Blood Spirit Sect?

Especially the name mentioned in the diary, Yan Shan—wasn't that the current Sect Master of the Blood Spirit Sect?

"Hiss—"

"Now we're in for a good show!"

For a moment, the people from the various sects in Qing Province couldn't help but turn their gazes toward the direction of the Blood Spirit Sect.

Most of them were gloating!

Relying on his high cultivation, formidable strength, and the influence of the Blood Spirit Sect, Yan Shan had run rampant in Qing Province, making countless enemies.

But most cultivators in Qing Province dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

Now that the diary of the Immortal Great Emperor had been exposed, revealing that he had killed Yan Shan's son, how would he respond this time?

Xuanqing Sect.

Yan Changkong was also watching the diary on the light screen. A moment later, an excited expression appeared on his face as he laughed:

"Hahahaha!"

"Oh, Yan Shan, I never expected you to have a day like this!"

The Great Elder Chen Xiu, who was standing to the side, also said, "Sect Master, with this diary exposed, I fear the Blood Spirit Sect is finished!"

Yan Changkong took a deep breath and said, "Prepare yourselves; we are going to divide up the Blood Spirit Sect's territory!"

He knew that the Blood Spirit Sect was definitely going to be finished this time.

The fact that the Immortal Great Emperor was able to protect the Xuanqing Sect during that turmoil proved that there was a force standing on his side.

Now, would this force let the Blood Spirit Sect off the hook?

Impossible!

If nothing else, the several forces that had allied with their Xuanqing Sect would absolutely not stand idly by.

The Blood Spirit Sect was absolutely doomed.

What is true power?

This is it!

Even though Lin Feng's figure couldn't be seen even now, he still possessed such powerful influence that countless people would act according to his will.

Yan Changkong was not wrong, but he certainly didn't expect that the action against the Blood Spirit Sect would come so quickly!

At this moment, on a mountain peak hundreds of miles away from the Xuanqing Sect.

The Black Bird Guard of the Liyue Immortal Dynasty was temporarily stationed here, using it as a base of operations in Qing Province.

Right now!

Zhao Shanhe wore a solemn expression as he took out a sound-transmission jade slip, from which the cold voice of the Empress Ye Qingge emerged:

"Exterminate the Blood Spirit Sect immediately, leave no one alive!"

Almost at the same time, above a colorful cloud, inside a celestial palace, Liu Piaopiao of the Jade Pool Holy Land also received an order from the Holy Venerable:

"Blood-wash the Blood Spirit Sect!"

In addition to this, several other Ancient Clans also successively received messages from their family elders.

Without exception, these messages all demanded that they annihilate the Blood Spirit Sect.

These forces were top-tier existences throughout the entire Eastern Profound Continent; any one of them could easily crush the Blood Spirit Sect.

Let alone all of them acting at the same time?

Before long, these forces mobilized and began to converge in the direction of the Blood Spirit Sect.
