### Chapter 122: No Need to Spread the Word—She’s a Celestial!
“Why wait?”
“Let’s charge in, grab the diary, and read it all at once!”
The monks from various Celestial Mansions learned that the recently revealed diary was, astonishingly, left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
While they were shocked, their minds started racing…
Inevitably, some more brutish cultivators began to entertain thoughts of robbery and m*rder.
Although the return of all the Celestial Mansions to the Nine States was originally a noble intention—to collaborate against the Celestial Court—it couldn’t be denied that the realms of cultivation often had a brutal side.
Survival of the fittest was an everlasting truth.
Moreover, if this was indeed the Desolate Heaven Emperor’s diary, who knew if there were some astounding opportunities hidden within?
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, in the vast Void, figures began to soar out of the Celestial Mansions.
These cultivators exuded an overwhelming aura, their magical power unparalleled. The weakest among them was at the Great Ascension Period! Being from Celestial Mansions, their mastery of profound principles was more complete, making their combat strength far superior to those from the Nine States.
These individuals gazed at the teleportation array of the Heaven’s Mechanism Pavilion with fierce intent.
In an instant, countless Nine States cultivators bore witness to this scene, a chill creeping up their spines.
Ye Xi stood in the pavilion, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Secretly channeling his magical energy and activating his techniques, he was determined not to let the Celestial Mansion cultivators wreak havoc, regardless of their intentions for returning.
As for snatching that diary? Not a chance!
In Lin Feng’s plan, the power of discussion held an extremely important part.
Dozens of high-ranking Celestial Mansion cultivators launched their attacks!
Suddenly, the sky was filled with swirling tempest, powerful magical forces merging into an ocean of chaos, boundlessly vast.
The stunning momentum pressed down…
“Who’s in charge of this array? Hand over the diary immediately, or face the annihilation of your entire clan!”
A chilling voice echoed through the skies, devoid of any emotion.
Behind Ye Xi, the elder of the Pei Family and others paled visibly, their faces twisted in concern.
The situation they feared had indeed come to pass.
The return of the Celestial Mansions promised great revival for the Nine States—a good thing, indeed.
But these Celestial Mansion forces would undoubtedly cause massive upheaval in the Nine States, leading to a bloody scramble for resources.
“Sigh…”
“Where in the world is Lin Feng right now?”
The elder of the Pei Family looked over at Ye Xi; they could only put their hopes on him now.
Ye Xi took a deep breath, aware of everyone’s worries, and calmly said, “Don’t worry, the Nine States are still ours. As long as I’m here, the Celestial Mansions will have to think twice before rampaging!”
As he spoke, his gaze was sharp, a powerful aura rising like a terrifying wave.
“Hey?”
“Look, this little Nine States actually has such strong cultivators! Impressive!”
“It seems, there are still plenty of opportunities in the Nine States; otherwise, how could the Desolate Heaven Emperor have been born? We must explore it thoroughly!”
In the Void above, dozens of figures laughed and conversed.
Their contempt for the Nine States was blatant, as if everything there was merely theirs for the taking.
On the other side, Chu Shanyue was also surprised by this energy, slightly turning her head to focus on Ye Xi.
In her heart, she thought, “This technique has a familiar touch to it. Who are you to him?”
“Are you trying to protect the diary?”
After a moment of thought, Chu Shanyue quickly made up her mind.
The next moment, just as Ye Xi was about to fly up and confront the dozen or so Celestial Mansion cultivators in the sky…
Chu Shanyue’s clear and melodious voice rang out: “Step back or you might end up dead!”
The calm voice reverberated through the world.
It was as if it were speaking of an inconsequential matter.
All the cultivators from the various Celestial Mansions turned serious.
The few preparing to commit robbery were even more on edge, as if facing a great enemy.

Years ago, Chu Shanyue emerged from the ancient Cave Heaven in the Misty Abyss, enveloped in a beam of Great Dao’s clear brilliance.
It was said she was a sleeping fairy from ancient times.
This news sent shockwaves through all the Celestial Mansions, and many turned their attention toward her, trying to win her over or even capture her…
Back in the day, a powerful group of emperors from the Celestial Mansions banded together in the Misty Abyss to capture Chu Shanyue.
The outcome was entirely unexpected.
After that battle, everyone vanished. Chu Shanyue disappeared, and those emperors hunting her disappeared as well.
It wouldn’t be until over a thousand years later that someone found a trace of Chu Shanyue.
But those missing emperors never returned.
This news shocked all the Celestial Mansions, and no one dared harbor intentions against her.
Chu Shanyue was also incredibly mysterious.
She drifted between various Celestial Mansions, never participating in any events, nor competing for resources and status.
It was as though she was always searching for something…
Gradually, the Celestial Mansions let down their guard, adapting to the presence of this unparalleled powerhouse.
In fact, they even chose to conveniently forget her.
So terrifying, she was beyond reckoning with.
Nobody imagined that with the Celestial Mansions returning to the Nine States, Chu Shanyue would strike against the Celestial Mansion cultivators over a mere diary!
Many hearts raced, hinting at some unknown connection between her and the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
“Pardon the interruption!”
In the Void, a youth in a blue robe bowed and quickly withdrew.
Soon, a few other cultivators followed suit.
Only seven or eight remained, their expressions grim, eyes gleaming with unwillingness.
A gray-robed elder gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and cupped his hands. “Fairy, this diary concerns the Desolate Heaven Emperor…”
Before he could finish his sentence, terror surged in his eyes.
Chu Shanyue’s expression remained unchanged. With a flick of her sleeve, a beam of clear brilliance enveloped the gray-robed elder.
His complexion changed wildly, screams boiled in his throat, but no sound left his lips.
Even the Dao domain was unable to unroll under that clear brilliance.
His body began to twist, continuously inflating, shrinking, morphing into a humanoid paper form…
Then, in front of everyone’s horrified gazes, he transformed into wisps of blue smoke and dissipated, existence erased.
Not even a thread of his primordial spirit could escape.
This scene left everyone’s scalps tingling, whether they were Nine States cultivators or those from the Celestial Mansions, all utterly shocked.
What terrifying power was this?
All eyes focused on the silhouette beneath that clear brilliance, revealing expressions of amazement, fear, and reverence.
Everyone collectively gasped in awe.
From now on, there’s no need to spread the word—she truly is a Celestial!
Ye Xi also felt his breath catch, his expression more serious than ever.
In his heart, he thought, “If she’s the Master’s Wife, I’m good. But if not, I should head out while I still can!”
At least for now, the opponent’s actions didn’t seem malicious.
“Pardon the interruption!”
This time, the remaining Celestial Mansion cultivators snapped back to reality and hurriedly bowed, retreating swiftly.
Not daring to linger a moment longer.
In the face of such absolute power, if Chu Shanyue decided to k*ll, they wouldn’t stand a chance to resist.
Figures vanished back to their respective Celestial Mansions in an instant.
Chu Shanyue, throughout all this, didn’t cast a single glance their way; to her, they were insignificant ants.
Once she shifted her gaze, it fell on Ye Xi.
Ye Xi’s face paled, and he felt a surge of wariness rise within him. Could this not be the Master’s Wife? An enemy?
Fortunately, just then, the teleportation array’s light flickered and the diary continued to update.
Chu Shanyue retracted her gaze, focusing on the diary.
A faint smile crept onto her lips as characters slowly appeared on the illuminated screen.
