Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Diary, Goals, Nine Heavens Sword Sect!

“This is a dead end!”

The middle-aged man’s aura changed, his face twisted with ferocity, and his aura turned restless.

He was named Shen Baixiu, the ruler of the Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion.

Known as the Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion Ruler, his cultivation level was incomparably terrifying. At this moment, his aura exploded forth, his momentum soaring like a rainbow.

The others’ eyes revealed astonishment; they were all shocked by this aura.

However, in the next moment, a huge finger hole appeared on Shen Baixiu’s chest, piercing through his body!

It was shocking!

Even now, the hole couldn’t recover; it was due to the power of the spell caster. Shen Baixiu had been unable to break or refine it.

A beautiful woman in green gauze dress looked at his wound and exclaimed in shock, “Emperor Qi Tian left an injury, and even now, it hasn’t fully recovered?”

“How could it be so terrifying!”

On the other side, Ling Xiao, dressed in black robes, stepped forward, his expression cold, “Why have so many supreme emperors suddenly risen?”

“A Desolate Heaven Emperor alone is already headache-inducing. Where could this more mysterious Emperor Qi Tian be hiding?”

Thinking that the Desolate Heaven Emperor should have thoroughly refined the celestial mansion by now, Ling Xiao clenched his teeth in hatred.

What a pity!

They still couldn’t locate him. Otherwise, if the eight realms acted together, he would certainly d*e without a place to be buried.

“Phew…”

Shen Baixiu took a deep breath, calming down his agitated aura. His injuries were once again concealed.

He swept his gaze around and said solemnly, “This time, we not only need to harvest the entire Nine States but also destroy any disobedient celestial mansions and all the emperors hiding in the dark!”

“For them, the transformation of the three realms into one is a dead end, unsolvable!”

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but ask, “Is this the meaning of the realms?”

As soon as he spoke, everyone’s eyes involuntarily turned towards him. The gaze carried some gravity.

The existence of the realms was unknown even to the major celestial mansions. Only these few realm rulers knew about this mysterious existence.

Shen Baixiu smiled faintly, “Indeed!”

“The great awakening will give birth to many transcendent cultivators. These cultivators can only ascend to the Celestial Court or various celestial mansions if they reach a more complete place…”

“There is no other choice!”

Shen Baixiu continued with a broader smile, “Little do they know, no matter where ants fly, it’s always a dead end.”

Ling Xiao felt a chill in his heart, a glint of light barely perceptible in his eyes.

At this moment, he heard Shen Baixiu continue, “By the way, Ling Xiao, didn’t you say that the Desolate Heaven Emperor opened up three ancestral palaces?”

“Find them as soon as possible…”

“But I don’t know if the ancestral palaces he opened are complete?”

Ling Xiao shook his head. He wasn’t clear about this either. Afterward, he always felt something was off.

He felt that Lin Feng deliberately held back…

When he fought with him, he didn’t use his full strength. As for why, he couldn’t figure it out.

Shen Baixiu waved his hand, “No matter. We have everything under control for now!”

“As long as he undergoes the tribulation, those guys will surely love it. That’s the perfect container…”

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes, saying nothing.

Then, he hesitated for a moment, turned, and left, “Let me know if there’s anything else. I still need to go fishing!”

With Ling Xiao’s words, his figure flashed and vanished from the Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion.

Back at Ling Xiao’s celestial mansion, his face was terrifyingly grim. It was unclear what he was thinking.

His gaze shifted to the lake surface.

A projection array’s screen showed a diary slowly appearing.

Ling Xiao muttered to himself, “Desolate Heaven Emperor, can you truly break this dead end for the sake of the three realms’ beings?”

For a moment, he was stunned.

—

“It’s here, the diary is coming out!”

“Don’t talk, hehe, I wonder how the Desolate Heaven Emperor obtained the methods of the various ancestral palaces?”

“An emperor has their own means. By watching the diary, we’ll know, right?”

Friendly reminder: The top right corner of the page has functions such as “Switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Read Background Color.”

“Yes, he managed to get such a top-secret thing!”

“He must have put in a lot of effort, right?”

For a while, with the exposure of the diary, discussions erupted across the celestial mansions and the Nine States.

In the southern part of Azure Prefecture, at the Xuanqing Sect,

Yan Changkong’s face became even more serious as he instructed his disciples, “Watch closely, learn well!”

“This diary, Patriarch Lin Feng might show us. When you want to learn a secret technique, what method should you use?”

The disciples nodded seriously, discussing happily.

“Patriarch Lin Feng isn’t an ordinary person, so he certainly won’t use ordinary methods!”

“Exactly…”

“Could it be that he might take a disciple, given his talent, he would definitely be nurtured by a sect.”

“There’s that possibility, but I think he might just snatch it, wouldn’t that be faster?”

“That makes sense!”

At this moment, Grand Elder Chen Xiu, whose injuries had recovered, frowned and hurriedly said:

“Don’t talk nonsense, Patriarch Lin Feng isn’t that kind of person!”

He wanted to say more, but seeing that the diary had completely surfaced, he changed his tone, “Alright, let’s look at the diary first.”

Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page 54:

[I’ve made up my mind to obtain the method of opening the ancestral palace’s secrets, but as an outsider, it’s very difficult to get this confidential information.]

[What should I do?]

[Now, joining a major force would be too troublesome. I’d need to gain their trust, pass through various boring assessments, and even then, I might not succeed.]

[After much thought, I can only take another path…]

[I learned that among the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion, only the Xiao Clan and Lingjue Sect possess the secret technique to open the ancestral palace.]

[These three forces are all one of the major mansion lords of the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion, with a long history and relatively complete inheritance.]

[While searching for the secret technique, I can also find some historical data, achieving two goals at once.]

[After investigation, I decided to change identities again and infiltrate the Nine Heavens Sword Sect…]

[Hmm, this sect is famous for its sword techniques, quite formidable.]

[I decided to go to the Nine Heavens Sword Sect first because the disciples of this sect are extremely domineering. They once clashed with me over some matters, sent people to k*ll me, but I dealt with them all.]

[Now that there’s an opportunity, naturally, I’ll take revenge!]

[Alright, I’ll write until here. It happens to be the time when the Nine Heavens Sword Sect recruits new disciples. Concealing my cultivation, I should be able to sneak in without difficulty.]

The diary ends here, without much useful information.

However, it instantly attracted everyone’s attention to the Nine Heavens Sword Sect of the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion.

“Anxiously waiting, update quickly! The Desolate Heaven Emperor infiltrated the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, what did he do next?”

“Haha, so exciting!”

“The people of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect are really domineering and arrogant. I never expected the Desolate Heaven Emperor had dealt with them long ago!”

“We look forward to how the Desolate Heaven Emperor obtained the secret technique of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect’s ancestral palace.”

At this moment, in the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion,

Inside a grand hall of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, the elders were somewhat bewildered.

“The Desolate Heaven Emperor secretly infiltrated their sect before?”

“Is that even possible?”

At the front of the hall, Sect Master Qin Jian’s face was pale, veins bulging on his forehead, lost in thought.

After a long time,

Qin Jian thought hard but still couldn’t find any flaws.

The secret technique of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect was kept by him. So far, it had never been lost.

Qin Jian scanned the crowd and, facing the confusion of the elders, said solemnly, “Trust me, everyone!”

“Even if the Desolate Heaven Emperor sneaked in, I guarantee his secret technique was not stolen from our Nine Heavens Sword Sect!”

All the elders heaved a sigh of relief.

Often, secret techniques represent more than just cultivation methods. They needed to be kept secret because both the strengths and weaknesses were contained within.

Once leaked, it was equivalent to exposing all the weaknesses, which could be fatal at critical moments.
