The Diary of the Immortal Great Emperor had been exposed once again!
So much had happened in these short ten days.
According to the diary, the secrets hidden in Cangwu Mountain had come to light, and now the whole Cultivation World was in a state of panic.
Many factions had placed their hopes in the Immortal Great Emperor.
That was why this latest release from the Great Emperor's Diary had drawn even more attention.
Under everyone's watchful eyes...
On the message arrays the Heavenly Secret Pavilion had set up across the Nine Provinces, screens lit up.
The Immortal Great Emperor's Diary, page twenty-one:
[After leaving Cangwu Mountain, I grabbed a bucket and ran for my life overnight. I left Ning Province and continued toward Central Province.]
[All the way there, I couldn't shake this restless feeling!]
[What I discovered was truly shocking, beyond anything I could have imagined.]
[The corpses there had all been drained dry. Not a trace of their magic power, blood essence, primordial spirits, or Dao laws remained.]
[And why had even Great Emperors who once ascended died there?]
[Becoming an immortal is risky; think twice before ascending!]
[Something must have gone wrong in the Immortal Realm...]
[At the very least, it isn't as beautiful as everyone imagines. There are bad people in the Immortal Court!]
[I just don't know whether it's only some of them or all of them. Either way, better safe than sorry. Don't ascend lightly!]
That was where this entry ended.
Although everyone already knew what had happened in Cangwu Mountain, the diary still caused quite a stir.
Cultivators across the land discussed it among themselves.
The Jade Pool Holy Land!
After reading the diary, the Holy Land's elders all looked grim.
"The Immortal Great Emperor suspects something has gone wrong in the Immortal Realm?"
"Are there really bad people in the Immortal Court?"
"Did the Great Emperors who ascended to the Immortal Realm die because they committed some offense, or was there another reason?"
The elders broke into an uproar, whispering among themselves.
Their voices were tinged with heaviness.
Ascending to the Immortal Realm had once been their faith.
But now that faith was crumbling, bit by bit.
The bloody truth had shown them that the Immortal Realm wasn't just less beautiful than they'd imagined—it devoured people!
The atmosphere grew oppressive.
Only Yuan Ruoyu wasn't particularly surprised.
She had already suspected the Immortal Realm was in trouble. After reading this entry, she was even more certain of her theory.
Yuan Ruoyu suddenly said in a calm voice, "Something must have gone wrong in the Immortal Realm, something we don't know about!"
"That's what led to this outcome!"
After a moment of silence, the elders all nodded.
They agreed with her.
The real question was, what would they do from now on?
If they didn't ascend, how could they become immortals?
Just then, the Great Elder, Cang Yuan, asked, "I'm more worried about the Great Emperor ancestors from our Holy Land who ascended in the past."
"What if they also..."
His words made the atmosphere grow heavy at once.
In this world, sects and lineages were held in the highest regard, and their founding ancestors were deeply revered.
Yuan Ruoyu sighed and shook her head. "Perhaps we won't know until we uncover what happened in the Immortal Realm."
"But the ancestors of Yuchi Holy Land have always been peerless, so we don't need to worry too much!"
Yuan Ruoyu paused, then continued, "What we need to do now is protect our Holy Land!"
"Then!"
Her voice turned cold. "We'll find those man-eating monsters and wipe them all out!"
The elders were just as indignant, nodding again and again.
The Liyue Immortal Dynasty.
The Gathering Immortal Hall.
Prime Minister Gongyang Mu said,
"Had the Immortal Great Emperor already suspected that something was wrong with the Immortal Realm back then?"
He paused, then added, "But if that's true, how are cultivators supposed to become immortals in the future?"
Heterodox Beings and the Evil Pupil of the Heterodox Path had appeared in Cangwu Mountain.
At the time, they hadn't given it much thought.
They had assumed something was wrong only in the mortal world.
Only now, after reading the Great Emperor's Diary, had they realized that something might be wrong in the Immortal Realm as well.
The realization made their scalps prickle.
When Gongyang Mu finished speaking, the court fell silent.
Every face was shadowed with gloom.
They were all peerless talents, among the strongest cultivators in the Cultivation World.
They had the best chance of ascending.
But now, the road to ascension had been cut off.
Empress Ye Qingge raised her eyes and said calmly, "Why can't we become immortals?"
"The Immortal Realm is in trouble too..."
As Ye Qingge spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly, her killing intent stark.
"Then I'll lead you in a fight to the heavens, overthrow the Immortal Court, and wipe out every anomaly. I'll become the ruler of the Immortal Court!"
"And you'll still be my subjects!"
Her imperious words swept through the hall like a fresh breeze, dispelling the gloom that had shrouded everyone's hearts.
The courtiers came to their senses as if waking from a dream.
One by one, they looked in astonishment toward the throne, at the lofty figure radiating boundless majesty.
Ye Qingge had led the Immortal Dynasty to rise amid chaos and wrought countless miracles!
Suddenly, the assembled ministers dropped to their knees with a thunderous roar!
They prostrated themselves and shouted in unison!
"We are willing to follow Your Majesty, overthrow the Immortal Court, and destroy the anomalies!"
"We are willing to follow Your Majesty, overthrow the Immortal Court, and destroy the anomalies!"
"We are willing to follow Your Majesty, overthrow the Immortal Court, and destroy the anomalies!"
Watching them, Ye Qingge thought to herself, I might not be able to do it!
But my man definitely can!
After meeting Ye Xi, Ye Qingge knew that Lin Feng must have another card up his sleeve!
Or rather, he was setting up a massive game!
No matter what...
When he made his move, she would become his strongest ally!
Only then would her position be secure!
A moment later, Ye Qingge lazily waved a hand. "Rise!"
"Overthrowing the Immortal Court and destroying the anomalies!"
"These things can't be achieved by talk alone. We need concrete action and preparation!"
All the ministers stood, their faces alight with excitement.
They had completely shaken off their earlier dejection and despair!
They were the finest talents under heaven. What they had always feared wasn't hardship, but having no road ahead.
Now, Ye Qingge had shown them one!
Just then, the screen's contents changed.
The diary continued.
The Immortal Great Emperor's Diary, page twenty-two:
[I reached a small town called Ping Mountain and stayed there for a few days.]
[For some reason, ever since I left Cangwu Mountain, I've been unable to shake this restless feeling. It's as if something is watching me...]
[The more I think about it, the more serious this seems. Perhaps the entire Cultivation World has already fallen into a conspiracy.]
[I'd wanted to keep lying low and pretend I knew nothing.]
[But after thinking it over, I realized things aren't that simple. No cultivator can escape. I suspect that once someone's cultivation reaches a certain level, they'll be targeted—and eventually devoured.]
[Our enemy is stronger than ever.]
[It could be some terrifying organization spanning the mortal world, the Immortal Realm, and the Netherworld. Damn, that's a straight-up dimensional attack!]
[But I won't sit back and wait to die!!]
[If I don't die in silence, I'll explode in silence...]
[I will cut down every last evildoer, like a spring breeze sweeping dust away, clearing the clouds and scattering the mist!]
[Playing chess against Heaven—I'll win by half a move!]
That was where this entry ended once more.
It caused another tremendous stir!
So the Immortal Great Emperor had long since resolved to hunt down those evildoers and wipe them out!
Even if they were a superpower spanning the three realms of the Immortal Realm, the mortal world, and the Netherworld, so what?
They'd simply destroy it!
And the final line in the diary had lifted countless people's spirits!
Playing chess against Heaven—I'll win by half a move!
What a bold and heroic declaration!
At that moment, the entire Cultivation World seemed to be swept up in it. A raging fire blazed in their hearts, and their fighting spirit soared.
