Chapter 120: Searching for Him a Thousand Times Among the Multitudes!
All the Celestial Mansions floated above the Nine States, like floating celestial mirrors. Truly wondrous.
The cultivation world of the Nine States had not seen such a spectacle in hundreds of thousands of years.
Countless cultivators emerged from seclusion, looking up at the Celestial Mansions with amazement and envy.
“The Celestial Mansions are indeed like the legends, small versions of the Celestial Realm!”
“Yes, the spiritual energy within must be extremely abundant. But I wonder how we can enter them?”
“Since the Celestial Mansions have returned, can the cultivators of the Nine States also enter them to cultivate?”
“This is a tremendous good fortune. Who would dare ascend to the Celestial Realm now?”
“I want to go and try! There must be countless celestial maidens there!”
“Hehehe…”
In an instant, the cultivators of the Nine States were greatly stirred, with all sorts of discussions erupting.
The scene was comparable to when the diary of the Eternal Emperor was discovered.
At the same time, figures appeared within each Celestial Mansion. They wore different attire, each with striking features.
These people from the Celestial Mansions were also curiously observing the Nine States.
“This is the Nine States?”
“Indeed, the spiritual energy is thin, and the Great Dao is incomplete, but the folk customs seem quite simple.”
“Hehe, anyone interested in traveling together? Let’s go down and take a look?”
“How amazing, you see, they’re actually broadcasting a diary on their array!”
“The Purple Origin Celestial Mansion mentioned that the cultivators of the Nine States love reading diaries and frequent brothels, and they don’t cultivate actively!”
“Haha, let’s follow local customs and experience it…”
“Pah, a bunch of perverts. The return of the Celestial Mansions is meant to change this state and lead the cultivators of the Nine States to become stronger.”
“Quick, quick, it really is a diary!”
At this moment, the transmission array of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion lit up, and lines of text appeared.
The diary was published.
Many cultivators of the Nine States even summoned the courage to invite female cultivators from the Celestial Mansions to come down and read together.
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page 49:
[Hehe, I’ve been in the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion for some time now, overall it’s not bad.]
[It’s like a paradise on earth.]
[I’ve traveled many places and found that it’s quite large, divided into six mansions, each like a city, with one mansion leader.]
[I’ve also fought against cultivators here and found they’re just average; their combat power is slightly stronger than those of the Nine States, but it doesn’t matter much to me.]
[This gave me a clear understanding of my own strength.]
[However, I have a feeling that there are still some old monsters hidden in the Celestial Mansion. Those mansion leaders definitely aren’t the strongest.]
[Because I discovered that cultivators in the Celestial Mansion can transcend heavenly tribulations and become immortals. Many records of these tribulations remain, but where they went after transcending, I haven’t found out yet!]
[I remain cautious. The Celestial Court might harvest talents like they do in the Celestial Mansion. Who knows?]
[Until I understand the truth, I’ll stay low and safe.]
[I crafted several masks to make things easier and avoid being recognized.]
[Also, I need a name…]
[I thought, why not call myself Lin Huang? The name Desolate Heaven Emperor sounds pretty good!]
[I’ll stop here for now. I need to plan carefully before taking action…]
This diary entry ended here, quite short, only a few hundred words.
For the cultivators of the Nine States, it was somewhat disappointing.
Because the diary didn’t mention any wonders of the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion.
Nor did it include any passionate scenes involving female cultivators.
But to the Celestial Mansions, this diary felt like a thunderbolt.
Everyone was stunned.
After all, the Celestial Mansions were interconnected, with frequent visits.
So, who didn’t know about Lin Huang, the strongest cultivator of the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion and the Desolate Heaven Emperor?
A figure as renowned as thunder.
Three thousand years ago, the Desolate Heaven Emperor rose to power, sweeping through everything. In every major competition among the Celestial Mansions, he defeated all opponents with invincible prowess.

More terrifyingly, the Desolate Heaven Emperor hadn’t transcended any Celestial Mansion’s heavenly tribulation!
Rumors said he had opened three ancient palace secrets.
From then on, the Desolate Heaven Emperor became an object of contention among the Celestial Mansions, all hoping he could transcend the heavenly tribulation within his own Celestial Mansion.
Becoming a true immortal within the Celestial Mansion.
The strongest foundation of a Celestial Mansion lies in how many true immortals it has.
But even the strongest Celestial Mansion produces only one true immortal every ten thousand years.
Smaller Celestial Mansions might not have produced a true immortal who has transcended the heavenly tribulation in hundreds of thousands of years.
Boom!
Suddenly, all the Celestial Mansions seemed to boil over, with terrifying figures flying out from deep within.
These powerful cultivators each brought unique phenomena and strong auras.
In an instant, they landed in the cities of the Central State, eyes wide open, staring intently at the contents on the screen.
As if afraid they might miss something.
In the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion, Xiao Jing and Xiao Ziling looked at each other in shock, their hearts surging with waves.
“It can’t be!”
“How could it be possible? The Eternal Emperor of the Nine States is our Desolate Heaven Emperor from the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion?”
Xiao Jing’s face turned red, speaking incoherently, “How could a cultivator from the Nine States be so strong? Even if he could secretly enter the Celestial Mansion, his foundation would already be formed. How could he be the Desolate Heaven Emperor?”
Even after seeing the Eternal Emperor’s power, he still couldn’t believe it.
In his heart, the Desolate Heaven Emperor was invincible.
How could the Eternal Emperor compare to the idol revered for thousands of years?
After a moment of silence.
Xiao Ziling hesitated before softly saying, “But, Lin Huang, the Desolate Heaven Emperor, indeed infiltrated the Celestial Mansion more than three thousand years ago.”
“All of this aligns perfectly with the rise of the Desolate Heaven Emperor!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing fell silent.
Too many coincidences added up, no longer mere coincidences.
Moreover, he suddenly remembered that when the Desolate Heaven Emperor suddenly rose in the Purple Origin Celestial Mansion, displaying unparalleled strength, defeating countless renowned cultivators.
At that time, someone speculated that the Desolate Heaven Emperor might be a cultivator from another Celestial Mansion.
Otherwise, how could such an extraordinary powerhouse appear out of nowhere without any trace of growth?
But, who dared to think it could be from the Nine States?
Cultivators in the Celestial Mansions viewed the Nine States with a lofty attitude. Who could believe such a powerhouse came from the Nine States?
Suddenly, a ray of clear light descended from the void.
The light converged into a beam that descended upon the Central State, and within the beam, a figure appeared.
She was like a fairy emerging from a painting.
Behind her, rings of light shone, emitting clear radiance as she moved.
Around her, ribbons of colorful light swirled around her body.
She stood before the transmission array, a hint of anger on her face, her red lips parting, “Desolate Heaven Emperor, Eternal Emperor!”
“So it is you…”
Chu Shanyue suddenly understood, adding, “No wonder I searched all the Celestial Mansions but found nothing. You were here all along!”

Qiongying Celestial Mansion.
This was a world of ice and snow, with howling winds and swirling snowflakes.
On the peak of a towering mountain stood a palace made of ten-thousand-year-old ice crystals, crystal clear and exquisitely beautiful.
The cultivators of this Celestial Mansion called it: Extreme Ice Celestial Palace.
The Qiongying Celestial Mansion had no lord; its sole ruler was their Extreme Ice Empress!
At this moment, a servant rushed into the palace.
With incomparable joy, she shouted, “Empress!”
“I found him, I found him, I found the Desolate Heaven Emperor…”
