Chapter 112: The Eternal Emperor, A Frog at the Bottom of a Well?
Wei Yuan dared to step forward because he had also sensed this.
The people from the Celestial Mansion did not seem to have any ill intentions. From what they said, it was related to the unification of the Three Realms!
If the Celestial Court couldn’t touch the Nine States, why were they now targeting various Celestial Mansions?
This surprised Wei Yuan!
“Has the Celestial Realm always known about the existence of the Celestial Mansions?”
Wei Yuan was puzzled by this, and since they mentioned the Eternal Emperor, he couldn’t help but come to understand more.
Perhaps, he also wanted to know…
Between the strongest Eternal Emperor in the Nine States and these people from the Celestial Mansion, who was stronger?
If the people from the Celestial Mansion could truly defeat Lin Feng, then it would mean that if the cultivators of the Nine States could cultivate within the Celestial Mansion, it would indeed be a way out.
There would be no need to ascend to the Celestial Realm.
Xiao Ziling smiled happily, her eyes falling on Wei Yuan, and she said with a playful smile, “Old man, is what you say true?”
“Do you know where the Eternal Emperor is and can lead us there?”
They were worried about how to find the Eternal Emperor, and here came a guide right to their door, truly a stroke of luck.
Others also looked over, sizing up Wei Yuan.
Their eyes were filled with surprise.
Although the Great Dao of the Nine States was severely incomplete, Wei Yuan could practice to the late stage of the Grand Completion, clearly indicating he was not an ordinary cultivator.
Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “Of course it’s true. If several of you really want to issue a challenge, I can lead the way!”
He reminded them, “But you must hurry. The Eternal Emperor appears and disappears like a divine dragon; after some time, I might not be able to find him anymore!”
Xiao Ziling and Xiao Jing exchanged glances, both nodding.
At this moment, one of the scenes showed many people reading diaries.
Xiao Ziling said with interest, “Let’s read the diary first. I want to see what kind of charm the Eternal Emperor has!”
“To make so many cultivators go crazy, waiting to read his diary.”
Xiao Jing also said,
“It’s good to learn a bit. After all, becoming an emperor must mean having some skills, right?”
Although he said this, his tone inevitably carried a hint of disdain.
In the eyes of these people from the Celestial Mansions, the Great Dao of the Nine States was severely incomplete. What strong figures could it produce?
The so-called strongest figures were nothing more than picking generals from among dwarfs.
Which of the ruins of the great Celestial Mansions did not hide any absolute powerhouses?
Their Desolate Heaven Emperor from the Purple Mist Celestial Mansion, the Dark Night Emperor from the Ling Xiao Celestial Mansion, the Emperor Qi Tian from the Limitless Celestial Mansion…
These emperors were none other than absolute powerhouses who dominated their times.
A small place like the Central State actually had someone dare to call themselves eternal?
If this Eternal Emperor knew that beyond the Nine States, there were various ruins of the Celestial Mansions, filled with powerful figures, and he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well, wouldn’t he surely feel ashamed and humiliated?
Xiao Jing thought to himself and felt even more amused, thinking, “Truly, when there’s no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king!”
After saying this, his gaze fell on one of the scenes.
A diary entry appeared on the screen.
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page 47:
[After bidding farewell to the Female Dragon, I went alone to the Abyssal Sea.]
[In the Abyssal Sea, I experienced many things and encountered several mysterious old men.]
[It was under their guidance that I found the passage to the Celestial Court.]
[Originally, I wanted to seal the passage, but with my strength at that time, it was impossible.]
[I stayed in the Abyss for several years, and finally, after careful planning, I used eight thousand lightning storm talismans to blow up the passage directly.]
[During this time, those old men told me many secrets, such as the fact that the Nine States is just a small place and that there are many ruins of Celestial Mansions elsewhere, like little celestial realms.]
[They also told me the method of secretly entering…]
[I was greatly moved!]
[The Great Dao of the Nine States is incomplete. Perhaps entering a Celestial Mansion might complete it?]
[However, with my current strength, it’s best to forget it! I must make full preparations.]
[It’s better to sleep a few more times. At least, I should reach the Tribulation Period before going to the Celestial Mansion. It would be safer.]
The diary ended here.
It revealed quite a bit of information, but it was rather scattered, with many details left unexplained.
It seemed more like a record made after a long time, suddenly remembering something.
But this made it even more intriguing.
Especially for Xiao Jing and others who had just come out of the Celestial Mansion, full of confidence and pride!
After reading the diary, they were even more shocked!
“The Eternal Emperor actually knows about the ruins of the Celestial Mansions and the method of secretly entering?”
Xiao Jing’s face changed slightly, then he said, “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“As for the old men mentioned in the diary, their identities are unclear. They might be fictional. Humph, trying to attract attention!”
Xiao Ziling frowned, also finding it unbelievable.
She clearly felt that Xiao Jing’s statement made sense. How could a cultivator of the Nine States enter a Celestial Mansion as they pleased?
The rest were more dismissive, shaking their heads and saying,
“This Eternal Emperor may have some opportunities. He might have learned about the news of the Celestial Mansions from somewhere and deliberately deceived people in this way.”
“Yes, what a shameless thing!”
“Good, let’s take advantage of our Celestial Mansion’s presence to teach him a lesson and let him know what it means to be a powerhouse of the Celestial Mansion.”
Xiao Ziling suddenly thought of something and said, “But, the passage to the Celestial Court in the Abyss was destroyed by lightning storm talismans five thousand years ago.”
“This matches the description in the diary!”
Hearing this, the discussion immediately fell silent.
Xiao Jing thought for a moment before smiling, “This isn’t a secret. Perhaps this Eternal Emperor only happened to know and deliberately wrote it in the diary.”
Xiao Ziling frowned, feeling that something was off.
Next to them, Wei Yuan stood silently without speaking, but he knew that the content of the diary couldn’t be fabricated.
Since the diary was exposed, everything mentioned had been verified.
Wei Yuan’s heart was also filled with doubts.
“Who are these mysterious old men? Since they helped Lin Feng find the passage, they must not be aligned with the Celestial Court!”
“And—”
“How do these people know about the ruins of the Celestial Mansions and the methods of secretly entering? This shows that they are definitely not ordinary people.”
Wei Yuan pondered, but he had no leads.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, he decided not to think about it anymore.
After all, there was still the last diary entry. Perhaps all the answers would be in it.
At this moment, Xiao Ziling whispered, “Quickly look, the diary has been updated!”
“Hmph, whether it’s real or not, we’ll know once we see it!”
Hearing this, everyone looked over, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Xiao Jing tightly stared at the contents on the screen, swallowing hard.
Soon, a brand new piece of content slowly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Wei Yuan was also somewhat nervous. He had just sent a message to the Jade Pool Sacred Land, asking them to prepare.
They needed to notify Yuan Ruoyu as soon as possible about everything happening here.
No matter what, the discovery of the ruins of the Celestial Mansions would certainly cause a huge sensation in the cultivation world of the Nine States!
On the screen, words floated…
