Chapter 125: Wait, Let Me Show You Something Interesting?
“Is this diary done? Do we have to wait ten more days?”
“Ugh! Who the heck made this rule?”
“I’m not finished with it yet, let it out already!”
“Such a nuisance! You can’t get enough of this diary!”
“Please, update!”
In all the celestial mansions, every cultivator was a bit worked up. They initially thought it was crazy that the practitioners of the Nine States were all chasing after a single diary—what a lack of ambition!
But when they discovered that this diary was about the Desolate Heaven Emperor and was spreading across all the celestial mansions…
They suddenly found the contents interesting!
After reading a few entries, they felt an overwhelming urge to keep going, unable to pull themselves away.
Thus, many celestial mansion cultivators dispatched people to the Nine States to inquire about how often the diary got an update!
The answer? Another ten days!
And the content was already sealed in the communication array; trying to destroy it would cause the diary to vanish completely, and they couldn’t access the content any sooner.
This left the proud celestial mansion cultivators grumbling, cursing under their breath as they waited together.
Also!
Chu Shanyue’s terrifying methods were still fresh in their minds, so no one dared to act rashly.
Everyone in the celestial mansions knew that her actions were to protect the diary from being damaged, and the reason was all too clear.
It was because she had a secret connection with the Desolate Heaven Emperor.
Now, that was common knowledge!
In the days that followed…
The ruins of the celestial mansions frequently interacted with the Nine States, sending disciples to exchange techniques and spells.
But, the warnings the major forces of the Nine States were worried about did emerge.
With increased exchanges, clashes were inevitable!
Celestial mansion cultivators were far superior to those in the Nine States at the same level, giving them a substantial edge in conflicts!
And some celestial mansion forces were eyeing the resources of the Nine States, stirring trouble, relying on their sheer strength to bully everyone!
In no time, forces across the Nine States were in a panic, fearing the worst was coming true.
And during this special time, the Eternal Emperor Lin Feng mysteriously vanished, leaving many unprepared.
Currently in the Nine States, after the battle in the Heavenly Storm Realm, the celestial court forces led by the Jiang Family were cleaned out.
The remaining top forces mostly revolved around Ye Xi, the Jade Pool Sacred Land, and the Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
On this day.
In the Jade Pool Sacred Land, a gathering hall stood with a dozen figures.
Yet, it was silent, and the atmosphere felt quite oppressive.
The elder of the Pei Family stepped forward, his tall frame standing like a mountain, his fierce eyes scanning the room as he said in a deep voice,
“Today, we must make a decision. Otherwise, if this continues, all forces in the Nine States will inevitably become vassals of the celestial mansions!”
He paused and added, “The celestial mansions have never regarded our Nine States forces highly. They see us only as resources to control!”
“In the name of gathering intelligence, they’re taking advantage to occupy territories, robbing us, and stirring conflict. This is not a return; it’s a premeditated invasion!”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded seriously.
What the elder said was true.
The return of the celestial mansions should have been a good thing, reviving the Great Dao to enhance the strength of the Nine States.
But there’s always some celestial mansions that seize the opportunity to grab resources, disrupting the existing order of the cultivation world.
After a moment, everyone looked eagerly at Ye Xi.
With Lin Feng not around and Que Ruyi and Ye Qingge also missing, Ye Xi was the only one left in the Nine States with the capability and strength to take up the mantle.
The Grand Elder Wei Yuan of the Jade Pool Sacred Land cupped his hands, saying, “We entrust everything to Ye Xi!”
Ye Xi was currently Lin Feng’s only true disciple exposed to the world.
His power was evident for all to see.
Plus, he was both brave and wise—definitely the best candidate!
At this moment, the Prime Minister of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty, Gongyang Mu, added, “Our Queen has left a decree: for all major matters, let Nicholas the Great Emperor decide.”
Ye Xi, wearing a flowing robe, scanned the room with a calm expression.
Then he smiled faintly, emphasizing a single word: “Okay!”
He accepted readily, with no excuses, and said slowly, “Since everyone trusts me, I will do my best and stand together with you all!”

“Let’s get through this crisis of celestial mansion invasion!”
His words were filled with confidence and a natural dominance!
Hearing this, everyone’s hearts felt a bit more at ease.
The elder of the Pei Family hesitated, but couldn’t help but ask, “Ye Xi, do you know where your master is?”
Wei Yuan chimed in, “Yeah, she just left her decree and vanished. There’s no danger, right?”
Everyone looked towards Ye Xi again, waiting for his answer.
Ye Xi chuckled, shaking his head, “I’m not sure, but you can rest assured, my master never takes risks unnecessarily; she’ll be fine.”
Inside, he thought: “She took a few master’s wives and disappeared, and now I’m stuck managing everything…”
Feeling a bit gloomy, he silently considered,
“Getting this sorted here is easy, but what about those few master wives? Sigh!”
Next, everyone began discussing specific countermeasures.
Ye Xi suggested forming an alliance of all major forces in the Nine States.
He would be the temporary leader!
This would greatly enhance the strength of the Nine States, making the celestial mansions think twice before provoking them.
Keep in mind, the overall strength of the Nine States cultivators was less than that of the celestial mansions, but for those nurtured by the Jade Pool Sacred Land, the gap wasn’t too huge.
After all, these forces also had complete inheritance of techniques.
However, because of the incomplete Great Dao, understanding and application lagged behind celestial mansion cultivators, affecting combat power.
But as the celestial mansions returned, the Great Dao gradually fused and revived; this gap would be quickly closed.
As long as they could band together and endure this initial rough period, they would prevail.
“Let’s establish a comprehensive alliance; I agree!”
Wei Yuan thought for a moment and replied, “But where will this alliance be set up? How will it operate? Those details need careful consideration!”
“Now that the celestial mansions are closing in, just yesterday a small celestial mansion wiped out the Chen Family in Central State. Do we really have that much time left?”
The elder of the Pei Family nodded, “That is indeed a problem.”
Ye Xi’s expression sank, and he said coldly, “Leave everything to me; you all just listen!”
His eyes swept around as an astonishing aura erupted.
Everyone felt a chill; this Ye Xi was a whole lot stronger than before!
“The alliance will be under my leadership. We’ll set up a council of ten elders!”
“Furthermore, all decisions regarding the invasion of celestial mansions must be made by me and the council!”
Ye Xi confidently laid out multiple suggestions, eventually gaining everyone’s agreement.
At the same time.
In a mysterious place far from the Nine States continent.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in the sky, and several figures materialized out of thin air.
Ye Qingge looked around the barren landscape, devoid of life, with thin spiritual energy.
Frowning, she said, “Why the hurry to bring us here?”
Yuan Ruoyu and Qing Dai wore puzzled expressions as well.
Qing Dai couldn’t help but feel a tangle of emotions…
With the return of the celestial mansions, she had wrapped up her journey on the continent early and came looking for Ye Qingge.
But unexpectedly, just as she met Lin Feng, he grabbed Ye Qingge and prepared to run off…
Seeing her happy expression, Lin Feng chirped, “Perfect timing! I was just thinking about how to find you!”
And then… she was whisked away without knowing what was happening!
Confusion was rampant!
Qing Dai thought, this guy wouldn’t really think I’ve returned to be his ride, would he?
Or does he have other ideas?
At this moment, Lin Feng chuckled, “Wait till you see this special place; you’ll definitely love it!”

PS: I’m currently dealing with family matters, running around a lot, which makes my time a bit unstable. Sorry about that; I’ll be back in a few days.
