Chapter 1: The Emperor’s Long Sleep, The Diary is Exposed!
Azure Prefecture.
Heavenly Storm Realm, Primordial Mountain Range.
Lin Feng stood atop a giant rock at the mountain peak, squinting into the distance.
The sea of clouds surged at the mountainside, a galaxy spilled over the horizon, and a dazzling rainbow arched between two peaks.
The scene before him resembled a fairyland from a painting.
“Not bad!”
“It’s hard to believe there’s such a view here.”
Lin Feng sighed in admiration, a handsome, youthful visage that could make anyone swoon.
However, in reality, he’d been around for a thousand years since he crossed into this world of cultivation.
For the past millennia, he had been blissfully following the path of ‘stay low, develop steadily.’
Consequently, the name Lin Feng was not particularly famous.
But if you were to talk about the alter egos he had at one time…
Any one of them would be a name known far and wide!
Even to this day, tales of ‘him’ echo across the Eastern Xuan Mainland.
“Let’s just sleep here!”
“After this, I should be able to break through to the later stage of the Tribulation!”
Lin Feng smiled, quite satisfied with this place for his slumber.
In this world, cultivators’ realms were classified as:
Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Infant Transformation, God Transformation, Void Refinement, Unity, Great Ascension, and Tribulation Crossing.
Nine major realms!
Above them were the true immortals who had transcended the heavens and were freely enjoying eternal life.
However, from the moment Lin Feng crossed over, he’d already achieved immortality.
His cultivation was merely a pursuit of strength.
Moreover, his way of cultivation was quite different from other cultivators.
He had started as an immortal; however, every thousand years, he needed a long sleep, which could last decades or even longer.
During this sleep, he would enter a mysterious state.
Like dreaming…
In his dreams, Lin Feng cultivated, feeling as if aided by divine forces, making rapid advancements!
He had already slept through this process many times.
His cultivation had reached the early stage of the Tribulation, but the further he went, the harder it became to break through.
Next, Lin Feng summoned his magic and opened up a cave mansion midway up the mountain.
Then, within a hundred miles of the cave, he set up a grand chaotic tribulation formation.
Inside it, he arranged a hellish killing array of the Ten Directions.
Within that, he set up the Great Zhou Heaven Demonic Punishment Array and the Lesser Zhou Soul Locking Array.
These were all lethal arrays, interlocking and bursting with might!
“Still not enough!”
Lin Feng pulled out all sorts of treasures and talismans, setting multiple barriers and traps centered around the cave.
Finally, using supreme secret techniques, he obscured the heavenly mechanisms, hiding this part of the world in the Void.
Once he completed this…
He patted his hands and smiled with satisfaction.
After thousands of years without a slip-up, what was his secret?
Simply, it was all about being steady and cautious!
Suddenly, Lin Feng glanced into the distance, his eyes seemingly piercing through space to a far-off land.
“I’m going to sleep now!”
“Who cares about the floods behind me, ha-ha!”
With that, his figure flickered and he entered the cave.
The space around him became twisted and blurred, until the entrance of the cave was completely sealed.
Seasons changed.
In the blink of an eye, over ten years passed.
On this day, the weather was sunny and pleasant.
However, a huge event shook the Eastern Xuan Mainland, driving countless people wild.
The diary of the Eternal Emperor had been discovered!
It was said that a group of wandering cultivators accidentally stumbled into the cave where the Eternal Emperor once meditated and managed to find it.
Once the news spread, the entire world was astir.
Even ancient sects, holy lands, and old clans were stirred.
Normally lurking freaks under the surface came out to play.
The Eternal Emperor’s diary was like a thunderbolt from the blue, blowing the lid off everything that usually stayed quiet.
After all, the reputation of the Eternal Emperor was simply too loud!
He was one of the strongest recognized in the current cultivation world, a legendary emperor unmatched throughout history.
He was the symbol of mystery and invincibility!
The Eternal Emperor’s cultivation, magical arts, alchemy, artifact creation, and formations were all peerless.
For thousands of years, he faced no defeats.
Yet, no one really knew what his true identity was!
Was the veil shrouding this mysterious emperor finally going to be lifted?
As time ticked on…
This fervor gradually morphed into a killing atmosphere, enveloping the entire world!
Everyone wanted to snatch the diary!
An unprecedented bloodbath was brewing.
“This can’t go on like this!”
“If we’re going to fight, who can guarantee they’ll be the last one laughing?”
Inside an ancient, grand hall, dozens of the most formidable cultivators of the time were red-faced in argument.
These were all representatives of celestial sects, holy lands, and ancient clans.
The diary had already been sealed with secret techniques, guarded by the Supreme Elders of various factions, and no one was allowed near.
In the hall, an old man in a dark robe, looking sprightly, glanced around and said slowly:
“Dear friends, if I give you the diary now, who dares to take it back?”
“……”
In an instant, everyone’s eyes flickered, and not a single soul dared to respond.
After pondering for a while, they all realized: everyone wanted the Eternal Diary, but no one could take it!
This thing was like a bolt of tribulation lightning!
Whoever touched it would d*e!
The gathering represented the most powerful forces in the world today, but that didn’t mean they were truly invincible.
Many ancient freaks who hadn’t shown themselves were also watching closely.
Right now, every cultivator in the world was watching!
Anyone who dared to take the diary would never have peace again, surely falling into endless assassination and targeting.
“Heavenly Mechanism, what do you suggest?”
The elder known as Heavenly Mechanism smiled slightly and said, “It’s simple, one shouldn’t take all the opportunities for oneself; sharing joy is better than solitary joy.”
“This diary should be distributed by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!”
“Let all cultivators in the world share it!”
Upon hearing this, the hall erupted into shock, each face filled with disbelief.
The atmosphere suddenly settled into silence.
Eventually, after a round of contemplation, everyone agreed with the old man’s proposal.
“Brilliant, brilliant!”
Some even slapped the table in excitement!
By doing this, they would completely avoid the risk of the Eternal Diary being monopolized by a single sect.
Everyone would be equal, how nice!
Moreover, let’s say the diary indeed contained supreme techniques, under everyone’s scrutiny, how could other cultivators compete?
In the end, all factions unanimously agreed that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would distribute the contents of the diary.
The content would be entered into a communication formation, distributing several pieces each day to prevent cheating.
Of course, this outcome was for the joy of the masses.
Thus, a potential storm was averted.
As the sun rose and set…
The first distribution of the Eternal Diary drew near.
At this moment, whether powerful cultivators, ordinary mortals, or various demon clans, everyone held their breath and waited anxiously.
The communication formations of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion lit up across the mainland, illuminating with a glow.
Words slowly floated into view.

【Grass! (It’s a kind of plant)】
【I’ve transmigrated!】
【Such a cliché thing happened to me!】
【I really didn’t want to transmigrate!】
【And where’s my golden finger? I just searched everywhere, but there’s no divine old man or system!】
【System, you better come out now!!】
