Chapter 184: Diary, Delving Deep, the Celestial Spirit Spring!
“Here it comes, here it comes!”
“Hey everyone, do you think the Demoness will get… heh heh heh by the Desolate Heaven Emperor in this entry?”
“Totally possible!”
“Ha ha! Who knows, maybe a baby will pop out! After all, the timeline in a diary can be a bit wonky.”
“Hurry and update! I can’t wait!”
“Going against the ancestral decree, did the Desolate Heaven Emperor have some serious family background?”
As the cultivators from the Nine States and various Celestial Mansions eagerly awaited, a brand-new diary entry slowly came into view.
At that moment, all eyes were glued to the scene.
On the shimmering screen above.
Just thinking about the secrets between the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the Celestial Palace Master was already thrilling.
It gave a peculiar sense of satisfaction.
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page Seventeen:
“I came to the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace just to get the secret techniques of the Mud Pill Ancestral Palace and make myself stronger…”
“At this point, even if I didn’t want to… I had no choice but to agree.”
“After the Celestial Palace Festival, I’m heading into the depths of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace with the Demoness to check the water quality of the Celestial Spirit Spring.”
“Of course, checking the water quality and any abnormalities is just an excuse. This routine? I’m well acquainted with it!”
“Most likely, it’s going to be… a bit wet, considering I’ll be working in the water; how could I stay dry?”
“But!”
“I’m not doing this for myself; I’m getting stronger for all beings in this world. The Celestial Court is eyeing me like a tiger watching its prey—I must become stronger!”
“As the saying goes, if I don’t go to hell, who will?”
Sigh…
“In the end, I’m shouldering it all alone!”
“Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and soon the festival date of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace arrived.”
“The Celestial Palace Festival is an ancient tradition, held once every three thousand years. What are the odds I’d actually get to witness this?”
“The scale of the festival is grand, and it’s quite interesting!”
“There are numerous events, and although I’ve seen a lot, traveling through the Nine States and various Celestial Mansions, and encountered many customs—”
“I’ve rarely stayed long in one sect…”
“The Xuanqing Sect is just too small and hasn’t organized any festival activities, so I found this quite novel!”
“First up is the sacrificial rituals, led personally by the Demoness with the heads of every hall, tower, and pavilion of the Celestial Palace, honoring the ancestors of the palace.”
“This part was a bit tedious, with too many rules. I had no real interest but, being the chief array master, I had to just follow along.”
“I thought to myself…”
“If I hadn’t revealed the Punishment Hall Master’s schemes, would they attack during the festival? It’s definitely the weakest point!”
“If prepared well, I could just grab Han Xingmian and take control of the whole Extreme Ice Celestial Palace—totally doable!”
“Oh, what a thought! I’d be the savior of the palace! Just move aside the statue of the ancestor and let me take the stage for a few days—no problem, haha!”
“After the sacrifices, we moved on to some entertainment activities, and the whole atmosphere of the palace lit up with joy!”
“Usually, the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace is cold and gloomy, with a stark masculine energy—but now it was vibrant and cheerful!”
“Next came various competitions organized by the palace, encouraging the new generation of female disciples to seek good partners…”
“I then realized that the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace actually doesn’t promote cutting off emotions and desires; they even encourage female disciples to find companions—how very humane!”
“But for some reason, many female disciples seem disinterested in finding partners, focusing solely on cultivation—like wooden blocks wasting their youth!”
“During this time, I’ve often hung out with Han Xingmian, discussing everything about cultivation, arrays, and preparing for our trip to the Celestial Spirit Spring…”
“The Celestial Spirit Spring is one of the top secrets of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace.”
“Only the palace master and a select few know about it, its importance rivaling the Mud Pill secret techniques.”

And the origins of the Celestial Spirit Spring are shrouded in mystery and antiquity, having existed for who knows how long—long before the establishment of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace.
The founder of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace even chose this spot because of the existence of the Celestial Spirit Spring.
Hearing this, I was seriously intrigued and asked the Demoness—what’s so special about this Celestial Spirit Spring?
I know there are numerous bizarre places in the world that offer various benefits to cultivators, with effects comparable to heavenly materials and earthly treasures—this space allows for continuous use!
Thus, its value is incalculable.
Even the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace treats this with utmost importance, indicating that this Celestial Spirit Spring must be extraordinary.
Han Xingmian hesitated for a moment but finally told me…
“This Celestial Spirit Spring has many functions; I was shocked to learn that not only can it improve one’s physique, but training in the water for one day can equal months of training in the outside world. More remarkably, if one bathes continuously in the water, their lifespan will decrease at the slowest rate…”
“In other words, one can significantly extend their lifespan while in the water!”
“That’s truly amazing; however, there are side effects. Even tribulation-level cultivators can’t soak in it for extended periods. As for the side effects, she didn’t say.”
“And the reason she wants to take me to check the water quality is that for several decades, there have been strange occurrences with the Celestial Spirit Spring…”
“The Demoness mentioned she explored the depths of the spring and found some extremely ancient formations inside. Since she’s not good at formations, she wants me, the chief array master, to take a look.”
Ugh—
“So that’s what’s happening; it’s not a ploy to get me to take a bath. Well… now I just feel a bit duped, like I’ve been played.”
“After hearing all this, I’m majorly interested in this Celestial Spirit Spring, and I instinctively feel it won’t be simple.”
“So, for this journey to the spring, I’m filled with anticipation.”
“Perhaps there will be some unexpected gains?”
“But it means I’ll have to redo my preparations; I thought I was set with my bikini, sunscreen, and lubricant—serious stuff!”
“Now I’ll have to re-prepare.”
“Fortunately, the festival will go on for a little while longer, so there’s enough time.”
Whoosh!
And so, months flew by.
Everything was ready, and I couldn’t wait to find the Demoness to head to the Celestial Spirit Spring together.
That day, she wore a rather casual light purple dress, with a jade belt around her waist, losing some of her previous authority for a more relaxed and languid vibe—it was quite charming.
I felt a shiver run down my spine…
Here I am, a dashing young lad, heading out on a “business trip” with the Demoness to soak in a hot spring kinda place.
Cough, easy target to bully!
But the Demoness didn’t give me a chance to think too much, flashed me a smile, and urged me to follow!
With a determined bite of my teeth, I thought, “If I’m to d*e, then so be it!”
And off I went!
Alright, we’re still on the way, so let’s end today’s diary entry here.
The closer we got to the Celestial Spirit Spring, the more frigid and biting the cold became!
This diary entry ends here, and it’s quite lengthy, also revealing a lot of information.
Instantly, the Nine States and various Celestial Mansions erupted into a frenzy.
Everyone began to chatter.
“Ahh—how can it end here? That was way too short!”
“So tedious! Let me handle it; I’m not afraid of being bullied by the Demoness!”
“One guy, one girl, sharing a spring—what exciting stories could unfold? Heh heh heh…”
“Who would’ve thought there’d be such a spirit spring in the depths of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace? Truly amazing!”
“Perhaps the reason the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace has thrived for hundreds of thousands of years lies with this Celestial Spirit Spring!”
“Wait! This kind of spirit spring should belong to the entire cultivation world, not be controlled by just one power!”
“What’s a bikini? Sounds strange!”
“I’ve never heard of it, but if the Desolate Heaven Emperor is preparing specifically, it must be something!”
