Chapter 118: Tribulations in the Celestial Realm, the Primordial Spirit is Indestructible!
Central State.
In a small mountain village far from the city.
Though this village was remote, upon entering, one would find many secrets hidden within.
The village was arranged with a large gathering spirit formation, and the concentration of spiritual energy was almost on par with top-tier sects like the Jade Pool Sacred Land.
A cluster of pavilions were built, scattered like stars across the hills.
Between the forests, one could occasionally catch sight of light figures, zipping about on swords, crisscrossing in midair.
Their swordsmanship was clearly impressive.
Lin Feng and the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor stopped in front of the village gate, where a tall and rugged figure had long been waiting.
“Dark Guard Chu Jiang, pays respects to the Emperor!”
This person was none other than Chu Jiang, the former leader of the Jiang Family’s Night Guard.
He had been placed by Ye Xi in the Jiang Family and had earned his merits; now with the Jiang Family eradicated, he no longer needed to act as an undercover agent.
Lin Feng glanced at him and laughed, “Haha, I’ve heard from Ye Xi about your good work!”
Chu Jiang’s face turned serious as he shook his head, “All this is under the Emperor’s control. I’m just following orders; it’s all thanks to the Emperor’s brilliance!”
The “Emperor” he referred to was clearly Lin Feng himself.
At this moment, in the entire Nine States of the cultivation world, it was only logical that the Emperor meant Lin Feng if no title was mentioned.
Ye Xi also contemplated whether to give his master a louder title. After all, how were the organizations under his rule supposed to address him?
Lin Feng’s expression brightened, humorously retorting, “Nice flattery! You learned quite a bit from the old ancestor Wujiji, haven’t you?”
“Your Excellency, Chu Jiang speaks from the heart, there’s no falsity…”
Even the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor couldn’t help but sh**t him a glance, wondering what was on his mind.
Lin Feng chuckled again, walking as he said, “Alright, I’m not Old Ancestor Wujiji, no need to butter me up!”
Chu Jiang walked closely behind, nodding, “I understand, it’s just that I’ve long admired the Emperor, and today’s honor of welcoming you is truly a privilege; I couldn’t help but express my admiration!”
The Purple Paulownia Great Emperor was speechless. “…”
Lin Feng was practically floating from all the compliments; they entered the village through the gate, strolling down the path. The layout here was extraordinarily meticulous; every detail appeared plain.
But in reality, they all cleverly matched the intricate formation.
Lin Feng took it all in, nodding internally, “Not bad, this kid Ye Xi has learned about a third of my formation skills.”
The Purple Paulownia Great Emperor was equally impressed as they walked; she noticed the design of this little village too.
Plus, the cultivators within were proficient, with solid foundations—definitely more than qualified compared to the trash in celestial mansions.
However, how did such a powerful little village remain obscure, completely unnoticed by any major forces?
With her keen perception, she sensed that in the shadows there must be no less than dozens of Great Ascension Period cultivators…
If this group were to emerge, they would be a formidable force all on their own!
What surprised the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor the most wasn’t even this!
Despite the village’s strength, it didn’t astound her; it was the unknown number of hidden cards Lin Feng had up his sleeve that caught her attention.
Even during the last battle in the Heavenly Storm Realm, perhaps only a fraction of that was revealed.
Lin Feng was blissfully unaware of her jumbled thoughts; soon, a few of them arrived at a pavilion.
To enter, there was a formation restriction.
“Your Excellency, Lord Ye Xi and several main lords arrived ahead of you and are currently waiting inside,” said Chu Jiang, bowing but remaining in place.
“Great, thank you for your hard work!” Lin Feng said, casually unlocking the restriction and bringing the Purple Paulownia in.
Suddenly, the scene transformed—a large hall awaited them with a sizable crowd already gathered.
Ye Xi and the Destiny Sovereign were present.
Along with them were Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge, as well as the ancestral figures from the Pei and Gu families.
These were all staunch supporters of Lin Feng.

Setting
Traditional Simplified
Now the entire Nine States’ strongest force leaders gathered here, indicating their serious interest in Jin Han’s interrogation results.
“Master!”
“The Eternal Emperor! You’ve finally arrived!”
Upon seeing Lin Feng step in, everyone hurried over to greet him.
The most composed were naturally Ye Qingge and Yuan Ruoyu, as they already had a comfortable rapport—one glance was enough to share their thoughts…
Lin Feng exchanged pleasantries with them, then looked at Ye Xi and said, “Let’s hear the result.”
The moment those words left his mouth, the entire hall fell silent.
They had come for this very moment, and this result was crucial.
All eyes turned to Ye Xi, waiting for his response.
Ye Xi’s expression grew increasingly solemn as he spoke in a deep voice, “We did gain some crucial information from Jin Han.”
“Now, I will disclose it all to you!”
Ye Xi took a deep breath and continued, “First, regarding the collection of those Ascendant Emperors!”
“According to Jin Han, their mission was simply to ‘catch fish’: once the Ascendant Emperors are captured, they must be reported layer by layer, but where they ultimately end up, he doesn’t know.”
The atmosphere became noticeably tense.
Especially for Yuan Ruoyu and others, whose factions had many ancestors who had ascended.
Jin Han’s revelation shattered any lingering hope they may have held.
Those ancestors who had once ascended might have already been completely consumed.
With a mix of anger and fear, they realized that if Lin Feng hadn’t uncovered this through a diary and exposed it in this way, one day the Celestial Court’s scythe would fall upon their heads.
They were all potential Ascendants!
Understanding the crowd’s feelings, Ye Xi sighed and continued:
“However, the final result aligns closely with what Master speculated…”
“That is, these Emperors will ultimately be refined completely, their entire Dao principles will be smelted down, becoming nourishment for the Celestial Court’s path, which will only become more complete through this process.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng squinted, deep in thought, and suddenly asked, “Did Jin Han mention the source of this strange Dao?”
If they were merely refining the Nine States’ Dao principles, it shouldn’t lead to any mutations.
This could be demonstrated by the fact that various celestial mansions’ Daos can integrate with the Nine States’ Dao without issues.
There hadn’t been any unusual occurrences.
Ye Xi shook his head, saying, “On this point, Jin Han admitted he was also uncertain.”
“Indeed!”
“He did say that the more Nine States cultivators are refined, the greater the number of true immortals that can successfully transcend tribulations in the celestial realm and the stronger the overall power of the Celestial Court!”
Ye Xi thought for a moment and added, “However, even after transcending tribulations, they still cannot last long; only the primordial spirit remains unscathed, requiring continuous reconstitution of the flesh.”
“During this period, their strengths greatly diminish, and even Celestial Realm true immortals fear being ambushed by opponents, so they must be very cautious.”
As soon as this was said, everyone felt a chill.
The notion of an indestructible primordial spirit could be considered a form of longevity, but it was still not entirely sufficient.
At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly exchanged a sharp glance with the Purple Paulownia Great Emperor!
In each other’s eyes, there was a depth of shock reflected.
Lin Feng squinted his eyes, secretly thinking, “This definitely doesn’t add up!”
A glimmer of brilliance flickered in his eyes as he clearly recalled something.
Noticing his expression, Ye Xi curiously asked, “Master, do you have a discovery?”
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, “You go on; I can’t reach a conclusion at this moment!”
“Alright!”
Ye Xi paused, then his voice rose with excitement, resonating in the hall.
“There’s one more crucial piece of news!”
“That is, the Three Realms are one!”
