Playing Chess Against the Heavens, Winning by Half a Move!

The Great Emperor's Diary has been exposed once again!

So many things have happened within these short ten days.

According to the records in the diary, the secrets hidden within Cangwu Mountain have been exposed, and now the entire cultivation world is in a state of panic.

Many factions have placed their hopes on the Immortal Great Emperor.

Therefore, the publication of this installment of the Great Emperor's Diary has attracted even more attention.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone...

The communication arrays of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, spread across the Nine Provinces, lit up with light screens.

The twenty-first page of the Immortal Great Emperor's Diary:

[After coming out of Cangwu Mountain, I packed my bags and ran away overnight, leaving Ning Province behind and continuing toward Central Province.]

[I have felt uneasy the entire way!]

[This discovery is truly shocking; it is simply beyond imagination.]

[The corpses there were all drained dry; not a single trace of their magic power, essence blood, primordial spirit, or dao laws remained.]

[Furthermore, why would Great Emperors who ascended in the past also die inside?]

[There are risks to becoming an immortal; one must be cautious when ascending!]

[Something must be wrong with the Immortal Realm...]

[At the very least, it is not as wonderful as everyone imagines; there are bad people in the Immortal Court!]

[I just don't know if it's only some of them, or if they are all bad. In any case, it is better to be careful and not ascend lightly!]

This entry of the diary ends here.

Although everyone already knew about the contents regarding Cangwu Mountain, the diary's revelations still caused quite a stir.

Cultivators across the world were buzzing with discussion.

Jade Pool Holy Land!

After reading the contents of the diary, the expressions of the Sacred Land elders were somewhat unsightly.

"The Immortal Great Emperor suspects that something is wrong with the Immortal Realm?"

"Are there really bad people inside the Immortal Court?"

"Were the Great Emperors who ascended to the Immortal Realm in the past killed because they committed a crime, or was there another reason?"

The scene was in an uproar, with many elders whispering to one another.

Their tones were filled with a sense of heaviness.

Ascending to the Immortal Realm had once been their faith.

But now, that faith was crumbling bit by bit.

The bloody facts told them that the Immortal Realm was not only not as wonderful as they thought, but that it might actually devour people!

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Only Yuan Ruoyu did not show much surprise.

Because she had already suspected the Immortal Realm before this, and seeing this diary entry only solidified the guesses in her heart.

Yuan Ruoyu suddenly said indifferently: "The Immortal Realm must have encountered some problem that we are unaware of!"

"That is what led to the current outcome!"

After a moment of silence, the elders all nodded.

They also agreed with this statement.

The key was, if this were the case, what would they do in the future?

If they didn't ascend, how could they become immortals?

At this moment, the Great Elder Cang Yuan asked: "I am currently worried about the Great Emperor ancestors of our Sacred Land who ascended in the past."

"Could they also have..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became heavy.

This world places great importance on sects and heritage, and therefore, they hold their past sect ancestors in high regard.

Yuan Ruoyu sighed and shook her head: "Perhaps we will only know once we uncover what exactly happened to the Immortal Realm."

"However, the ancestors of our Jade Pool throughout the generations all possessed heaven-defying abilities, so there is no need for us to worry too much!"

Yuan Ruoyu paused for a moment and continued: "What we need to do now is to guard the Sacred Land well!"

"And then!"

When she said this, her tone turned cold: "Find those man-eating bastards and wipe them all out!"

The elders were also filled with righteous indignation and nodded repeatedly.

Liyue Immortal Dynasty.

Gathering Immortal Hall.

Prime Minister Gongyang Mu said:

"Ever since that time, has the Immortal Great Emperor already suspected that the Immortal Realm was abnormal?"

He paused, then added: "But if that is the case, how are future cultivators supposed to ascend to immortality?"

Heterodox Beings and the Evil Pupil of the Heterodox Path had appeared in Cangwu Mountain.

At the time, they hadn't thought much of it.

They had assumed it was merely a problem within the mortal world.

It wasn't until now, after reading the Great Emperor's Diary, that they realized with a start that the Immortal Realm itself might have become abnormal.

A chill instantly ran down their spines.

As Gongyang Mu's voice faded, the imperial court fell into a deathly silence.

Every face was clouded with gloom.

They were all individuals of supreme talent, and among the most powerful cultivators in the current cultivation world.

They were the ones with the greatest hope of ascending.

But now, this path to ascension had been severed.

Empress Ye Qingge raised her eyes and said indifferently: "Why can we not become immortals?"

"Even if the Immortal Realm has gone wrong..."

As Ye Qingge spoke, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with chilling killing intent:

"Then I shall lead you all to storm the heavens, overthrow the Immortal Court, and eradicate all anomalies. I shall become the master of the Immortal Court!"

"When that time comes, you shall still be my subjects!"

This incomparably domineering voice fell like a fresh breeze, blowing away the gloom that had shrouded everyone's hearts.

The crowd awoke as if from a dream.

One by one, they looked with astonishment toward the figure sitting high upon the imperial throne, radiating immense majesty.

Ye Qingge had led the Immortal Dynasty to rise during chaotic times, creating countless miracles!

Suddenly, in the great hall, the ministers knelt down with a thunderous sound!

Prostrating themselves, they shouted in unison!

"We are willing to follow Your Majesty to overthrow the Immortal Court and eradicate the anomalies!"

"We are willing to follow Your Majesty to overthrow the Immortal Court and eradicate the anomalies!"

"We are willing to follow Your Majesty to overthrow the Immortal Court and eradicate the anomalies!"

Watching this scene, Ye Qingge thought to herself, I may not necessarily be able to achieve this!

But my man certainly can!

Ever since she encountered Ye Xi, Ye Qingge knew that Lin Feng must still have a backup plan!

Or rather, he was laying out a massive scheme!

Regardless...

When he makes his move, I will definitely become the greatest support by his side!

Only then will my position remain secure!

A moment later, Ye Qingge waved her hand lazily: "Rise!"

"Overthrowing the Immortal Court and eradicating the anomalies!"

"These things cannot be achieved by mere words; they require actual action and preparation!"

All the ministers stood up, their expressions filled with excitement.

They had completely shed their previous decadence and dejection!

They were all top-tier geniuses of heaven and earth; what they feared was never difficulty, but rather having no path forward.

Now, Ye Qingge had pointed out a path for them!

At this moment, the content on the light screen shifted.

The diary continued to update.

Immortal Great Emperor's Diary, Page 22:

[I arrived at a small town called Ping Mountain and stayed for a few days.]

[I don't know why, but ever since leaving Cangwu Mountain, I have felt restless, as if I am being watched by something...]

[I increasingly feel the gravity of the situation; perhaps the entire cultivation world has already fallen into a conspiracy.]

[I originally wanted to continue lying low and pretend I didn't know.]

[However, after thinking it over carefully, the matter is not that simple. No cultivator can escape it. I suspect that as long as one's cultivation reaches a certain level, they will be targeted until they are devoured.]

[The opponent is unprecedentedly powerful.]

[It is likely a terrifying syndicate that spans the mortal realm, the Immortal Realm, and the Netherworld. Damn it, this is practically a dimensional strike!]

[However, I will not sit here and wait for death!!]

[Either perish in silence, or erupt in silence...]

[I shall slaughter the evildoers to the last, like a spring breeze sweeping away dust, like clouds parting to reveal the sun!]

[Playing a game of chess against the heavens, I shall win by half a piece!]

This diary entry ended once again at this point.

It caused quite a stir yet again!

So, the Immortal Great Emperor had long ago made up his mind to track down all those evildoers and slaughter them to the last!

Even if it were a super-faction spanning the mortal, immortal, and Netherworld realms, so what?

Destroy them, that is all!

Furthermore, the final sentence in the diary boosted the morale of countless people!

Playing a game of chess against the heavens, I shall win by half a piece!

What kind of arrogance and heroism is this?

At this moment, the entire cultivation world seemed to be infected, ignited by a raging fire, with spirits soaring high.
