Chapter 119: The Return of the Celestial Mansion, Diary Announcement!
Three realms unite as one!
This is undoubtedly the hottest topic in today’s Nine States cultivation world; various great forces have developed a certain understanding of this.
As for what the three realms uniting as one specifically entails, opinions are varied, making it hard to reach a unified conclusion.
Everyone instinctively held their breath, awaiting the final answer.
Lin Feng’s expression was a bit serious, as his gaze flicked toward Ye Xi, sparkling with an intensity that could power a small village.
He had traveled across the Nine States, venturing into ancient caves and hidden realms, even digging through various celestial mansion ruins to unearth those long-lost secrets and truths.
Regarding the three realms uniting, Lin Feng had some guesses brewing in his mind, but he had never been able to verify them.
Now was the time for that verification!
Ye Xi scanned the room and said firmly, “According to Jin Han, rather than saying it’s the three realms uniting, it’s more accurate to say they are returning!”
As soon as he said that, everyone’s expression shifted slightly.
Que Ruyi’s gaze sharpened as she thought, “Again with the return?”
“The Celestial Mansion ruins are returning to the Nine States. Does that mean the Celestial Realm is also coming back? But is this Celestial Realm the real deal or some knockoff?”
Everyone standing in this hall had been cultivating for thousands, even tens of thousands of years. They didn’t need to be told twice; they understood perfectly.
Instantly, it seemed as if everyone had their own plans, exchanging glances filled with shock.
But no one spoke; instead, they continued to look toward Ye Xi.
Only Lin Feng and the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor remained relatively composed, appearing not too surprised.
Ye Xi cleared his throat and continued, “The three realms uniting signifies not only the return of the Celestial Realm and the Celestial Mansion but also the revival of the Great Dao!”
As he spoke, he frowned, pondered for a moment, then went on, “As for what triggered this revival, it’s still unknown. But according to Jin Han, the Celestial Court is placing great importance on this event, viewing this three realms uniting as a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!”
The crowd unconsciously grew tense.
The Celestial Court had set up a system for ascending to the Celestial Realm, harvesting who knows how many Ascended Emperors over hundreds of thousands of years.
Their motives could be sinister; if the Celestial Realm were to descend directly upon the Nine States, what kind of calamity would that bring?
At that moment, all eyes were inadvertently drawn to Lin Feng…
This Eternal Emperor was the last hope for the Nine States.
If he didn’t have a plan, it seemed their only fate awaiting them was to be ground into dust.
Furthermore, no one knew whether this time the Celestial Court would only target high-level cultivators or root them out completely.
Would even those nascent souls and deity-level cultivators be swept away?
Suddenly, the crowd was filled with complicated emotions.
They were all the proud elites of the Nine States, enduring grueling training for the sake of immortality, only to find out they might just be seen as chives in someone else’s field!
Feeling the gaze of the crowd, Lin Feng smiled lightly and said, “I’ve actually had some suspicions about this for a while, but it’s nothing to worry about; I’ll take action!”
“This is a crisis, but it’s also our chance! The Great Dao revival opens up endless possibilities; the Celestial Court might not necessarily be able to harvest us all!”
With this declaration, Lin Feng’s expression turned resolute, a tremendous aura surging from him as he clasped his hands fiercely: “Besides, I am not completely unprepared; everything is well in hand!”
He silently recited a mantra in his heart, invoking a certain move from the crafty old ancestor!
After all, how to instill confidence in his followers was crucial.
At this moment, one couldn’t afford to panic; they had to maintain morale, or everything would go south.
Sure enough, after Lin Feng said this, the expressions of those present eased a bit.
They suddenly felt reassured.
Lin Feng’s strength was beyond question; during the battle in the Heavenly Storm Realm, he had repelled celestial beings with just one punch.
Ye Xi’s eyes flickered with enthusiasm; this was one of those rare moments he had witnessed his master exude such overwhelming force.
Ye Qingge and Que Ruyi looked at Lin Feng with admiration sparkling in their eyes.
Then Ye Xi provided some supplementary information.
“This is all the intel we’ve gleaned from Jin Han.”
After finishing, the others began sharing their own thoughts.
They discussed how to respond to the upcoming crisis.
—
A few moments later, the elder ancestors of the Pei Family bid their farewells. The matter was of great importance, and they had to return to their family to make preparations.
Finally, when everyone had left, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and decided to keep Ye Xi behind. Only the master and disciple remained in the hall.
“Master, do you have some thoughts?” Ye Xi asked excitedly, knowing that if his master kept him around, there had to be something important on his mind.
Lin Feng sat down with a serious expression, his mind racing with calculations.
After a long pause, he sighed and looked at Ye Xi. “The merging of the three realms has come too swiftly, much faster than I anticipated!”
Lin Feng paused, then added, “At this point, it seems that many of my identities cannot remain hidden any longer.”
Ye Xi nodded knowingly and replied, “Are you saying we need to call in the other Masters?”
His face lit up with excitement, thinking, “Isn’t that a call to arms for a hundred people at once?”
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then stood, slapping the back of his head, “Am I that kind of person?”
“Rascal, what do you mean by calling the other masters? You think my digestion problems are that severe?”
Ye Xi sidestepped, grinning awkwardly, but his eyes clearly stated, “That’s what I thought.”
Rebellious disciple!
Lin Feng glared at him in annoyance before awkwardly explaining, “Well, besides your several masters, I’ve made plenty of other investments, and it is time to harvest them.”
“Competing against the heavens, would your master go in without preparation?”
Lin Feng took a deep breath, looking out the window, and spoke in a low voice, “Everything is set; we only lack the favorable wind!”
“Listen closely…”
Ye Xi immediately ceased his laughter, waiting for instructions.
The two of them held a lengthy conversation, stretching over several hours, before they finally parted ways.

Time flitted by, and several days passed.
On this day, the Nine States were bustling with activity, and the entire cultivation world was in an uproar.
Countless old recluses emerged from their seclusion.
The reason? Once-mysterious celestial mansion ruins, long thought to exist only in legends, began to materialize one after another.
At that moment, in the skies over Central State, a breathtaking array of dazzling lights intertwined to create a brilliant glow, stretching all the way to the horizon.
The sound of thunderous clamor echoed incessantly.
The space continuously warped, then suddenly burst open with a resounding crash. One after another, celestial mansions – resembling tiny celestial realms – drifted in like great ships upon the sea.
Numerous cultivators looked up, awestruck by the scene.
“What is that? Is it the Celestial Realm?”
“Those are the celestial mansion ruins from legends! I’ve seen them in ancient texts!”
“Oh my! What’s happening?”
“Why are these celestial mansions suddenly reappearing? They’re supposed to be a once-in-a-blue-moon experience, and yet, today they’re all flocking together?!”
“Could it be the celestial mansions are aware of the Celestial Realm’s malice and can’t bear to watch, so they’ve come to help us Nine States cope with the Celestial Court?”
In an instant, opinions were all over the place, with various theories floating around.
As the mist cleared and the colossal celestial mansions completely appeared in the sky, the previously distorted sounds gradually faded.
One by one, the celestial mansions floated above the Nine States, resembling land suspended over water.
These celestial mansions varied in size.
Some stretched tens of thousands of miles with no end in sight, while others were just the size of a city, housing only a few celestial palaces.
Various profound energies radiated outwards, fusing with the vastness of the Nine States, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to grow immensely richer.
Simply remarkable.
While the Nine States’ cultivators marveled at the celestial mansions, little did they know, the masters within the celestial mansions were also observing everything in the Nine States.
Coincidentally, today was the day the Eternal Emperor’s diary was about to be released…
