Chapter 157: Hehehe, Female Demon Lord, I Want You to Help Me Cultivate!
In the Qiongying Celestial Mansion, within the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace.
High above, thousands of feet in the air, it felt as if one could just reach out and pluck the stars hanging on the edge of the sky.
Inside the palace.
Han Xingmian finished reading the diary, her silver teeth gritting loudly, secretly fuming, “What the heck! What does ‘launching a g*n like a dragon’ even mean?”
“Is this what you call sacrifice?”
“And since when did the palace become the domain of a female demon lord? Is she really that terrifying?”
Then, a thought struck her. Among the celestial mansions, her reputation did seem to intimidate some people!
You know, like when she randomly turns people into ice sculptures and stuff.
Han Xingmian took a moment to seriously reflect; was this really a bit excessive?
“Putting that aside, the palace is actually quite gentle!”
“Besides…”
“Turning people into ice sculptures isn’t even an invention of the palace; it’s just a traditional craft of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace.”
Han Xingmian felt a bit aggrieved; she was just promoting the craft!
————
In Azure Prefecture, Southern Region.
Xuanqing Sect.
Yan Changkong and Grand Elder Chen Xiu exchanged a knowing glance after reading the diary, both looking utterly helpless.
No way.
Even Lin Feng the Ancestor is using beauty tricks now? That’s just ridiculous!
It was even a little hard to believe.
The Eternal Emperor, who could defeat anyone in the world, resorts to such tactics.
Yan Changkong fell silent; at this moment, he deeply appreciated how not easy it was for their Ancestor, willing to sacrifice for the common folk…
Ahem, no, wait, it was more like not sweating the small stuff.
The younger disciples of Xuanqing Sect, after digesting the diary, initially fell into a short silence, feeling it was a bit unbelievable.
However, after this brief calm, they erupted into excitement.
“Lin Feng Ancestor, for the sake of the world, to uncover the truth of the vanished, and to grow stronger, actually resorts to the beauty trick to win over the female demon lord! Truly admirable!”
“Feeding the tiger with your own flesh, that’s my Ancestor Lin Feng!”
“This diary teaches us that no matter how powerful an emperor is, they still endure a plethora of helpless situations…”
“Compared to that, my minor issue of not finding a partner seems trivial.”
“What’s with the whole ‘breaking off an engagement’ trend?”
“The diary also mentioned Blue Star; Blue Star, oh Blue Star, where are you?”
“I can’t wait to see how the Ancestor pulls off the ‘g*n launches like a dragon’ trick to tame the great demon lord!”
“Hehehe…”
“I’ve made up my mind; I want to learn from the Ancestor’s spirit of sacrifice! Just one question, where’s that stunning female demon lord? I want to give it a go; any recommendations?”
Hearing his disciples chattering away, Yan Changkong smacked his forehead. This rabbit trail seemed to have gone a bit off-track?
At this time, all the celestial mansions were also fervently discussing the diary’s contents.
“The Desolate Heaven Emperor, truly worthy of his title, flexible and adaptable…”
“Hahaha, the Desolate Heaven Emperor vs. the female demon lord, now that’s something to look forward to!”
“Bets are open, bets are open!”
“Desolate Heaven Emperor vs. the female demon lord, one, Desolate Heaven Emperor successfully acquires the treasure of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace, odds one to two; two, Desolate Heaven Emperor ends up retreating in disgrace, odds one to three.”
Even in smaller celestial mansions, people seized the opportunity to place bets.
In no time, the Desolate Heaven Emperor vs. the female demon lord became the hottest topic in the cultivation world, even overtaking the upcoming Three Realms event!

Not long after.
On the Nine States’ messaging array, a glowing screen lit up again, with lines of text slowly appearing.
“It’s here, the diary has been updated again.”
In every corner of the cultivation world, the previously noisy chatter fell silent.
Everyone stared at the glowing screen with fervent eyes.
Not blinking at all.
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page Sixty:
[Er—]
[That said, I still need to figure out a legitimate reason to sneak into the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace!]
[This is really tricky!]
[A frontal assault won’t work; I can’t just randomly go in there; that would be inappropriate. What if we accidentally start a fire? It would only complicate matters further.]
[Sneaking in isn’t an option either; I need a chance to get close to Han Xingmian openly…]
[Can’t just slip in there and get it done, right? Hehe, that’s a bit hard!]
[Who said it? The shortcut to a woman’s heart…?]
[After thinking it through for half a month, I still haven’t found a feasible plan!]
[What to do?]
[In my heart, I think, I can’t just say I’m here to fix the plumbing, right?]
[But that, that phrase triggered my inspiration, and I suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.]
[From multiple inspections of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace, I’ve discovered something: although their defensive formations are quite strong, there are still certain loopholes in some areas, however small!]
[But hey, that’s still a legitimate reason! When the time comes, I’ll just say I’m here to fix the formation…]
[Whether she believes it or not, if it comes down to it, I’ll just put on a show and shock her!]
[In this respect, I still have confidence.]
[Okay, once I get in, what’s the next step?]
[According to the analysis, Han Xingmian has high aptitude and strong abilities, she’s a total powerhouse and has a commanding presence.]
[Although she’s stunningly beautiful, over thousands of years, there’s been no gossip about her; well, of course, ordinary cultivators wouldn’t dare approach someone like her, let alone pursue her.]
[Interestingly, it’s rumored that a young talent once mustered the courage to pursue Han Xingmian, but she turned him into an ice sculpture and hung him at the entrance of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace. Since then, no one has dared to pursue her again.]
[Thus, I make a bold hypothesis!]
[In terms of feelings, this female demon lord is probably still as pure as a fresh canvas.]
[At the end of the day, she’s just a woman; no matter how high her status or how powerful her cultivation, during those quiet nights, she too must feel empty, lonely, and cold… ]
[She definitely will!]
[The road of cultivation is long; she, too, must long for a shoulder to lean on. Maybe in the dead of night, she wakes up, feeling unbearably lonely and restless, even yearning for someone as handsome and strong as I am… cough, said too much.]
[But! Catching this strong woman’s attention and winning her heart is no easy task!]
[However, that won’t defeat me!]
[First, in the face of such a strong and formidable female cultivator, I absolutely cannot show weakness; I must be even more assertive, being a sycophant equals d*ath!]
[Note: Being assertive doesn’t necessarily mean being stronger in cultivation, but at the very least, I must have an indomitable spirit, a persevering mentality, and an intimidating presence!]
[Only looking at cultivation level is too shallow.]
[Moreover, once I truly catch her curiosity and attention, I need to create some unexpected surprises that will make her look at me differently and provide her with a stronger emotional impact, leading her to gradually fall for me… ]
[At the end of the day, these are all general ideas; the specifics will have to be improvised. What seems easy can actually be very tricky.]
[Uh-oh, I’ve managed to write so much.]
[Hehe, at least I finally have a feasible plan! Now, I need to prepare some details and get ready for action!]
[That’s settled then!]
[Alright, I’ll stop writing here for today.]
[Hehehe, female demon lord, I need your help to cultivate…]
