### Chapter 27: Awakening, the Legend of the Ruyi Old Monster!
Azure Prefecture, Southern Region.
Recently, the Xuanqing Sect has been expanding at lightning speed, doubling their territory. The wealth from the bl**d Spirit Sect is continuously rolling in. Things are looking pretty darn good.
Even the spiritual plants within the sect have seen significant upgrades, with many new species transplanted in. Every disciple is walking around with a grin plastered on their faces. The better the sect develops, the more they can level up their cultivation. Not to mention, they’re now receiving a whopping ten times the resources—spiritual stones, elixirs, spiritual herbs, magical artifacts—every month compared to before!
With all these resources at their disposal, the speed of cultivation has skyrocketed. Quite a few elders have made breakthroughs recently. Currently, the Xuanqing Sect boasts three Transformation Stage cultivators and dozens of Ruyi Stage cultivators. Overall strength? Massive boost.
However, in the last few days, the sect leader Yan Changkong has been feeling a bit uneasy. This is mostly due to the impending release of certain diary entries that are about to cause a stir.
“I wonder if this will have any impact on the sect?” he thought, worry creeping in. After all, the rise of Xuanqing Sect is closely tied to Lin Feng, so any minor ripple in the diary could send shockwaves.
At the same time, he’s a little excited. Maybe the next diary entries will drop some golden nuggets for the Xuanqing Sect!
Lost in these mixed feelings…
Days whisked away quietly.
Finally, we arrive at the day when the Eternal Emperor’s diary is about to go public. This time, the release is particularly eye-catching. Everyone’s waiting with bated breath—what happens after the Eternal Emperor’s long sleep? Can one really cultivate in dreams? If so, how high will his power soar upon waking?
Boom!
The communication formation of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, spreading across the mainland, lights up. In that moment, countless eyes are glued to the luminous screen, the anticipation almost palpable!
“It’s coming!”
“Can I learn to cultivate in my dreams too?”
“If it’s real, that’s just terrifying!”
“Heh, I really hope the Emperor wrote down some tips in his diary.”
“Wonder how long he actually slept this time?”
Even before the diary is made public, it has already sparked countless discussions among cultivators.
At Jade Pool Sacred Land!
Que Ruyi already suspects that after Lin Feng’s long sleep, he’ll skyrocket to the late Ruyi Stage. But still, she can’t help but be filled with curiosity. What will be revealed in Lin Feng’s diary? Are there details she doesn’t know?
Finally, after endless waiting…
Words appear on the glowing screen…
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page Seventeen:
[Woke up.]
[Did a quick check and found out that this time I’ve slept a whopping fifty-two years; I’m feeling a bit numb.]
[In the dream, I don’t know how long I cultivated, but in that mystical state, my cultivation and techniques advanced at lightning speed!]
[Even my alchemy skills are top-notch!]
[Hahaha!]
[My cultivation has reached the late Ruyi Stage, making me an old Ruyi monster. I’ve got a bit of self-defense here in this realm.]
[The dream cultivation method is truly something else!]
[I’m in love with this golden finger!]
This diary entry ends here.
But the clarity revealed has caused an uproar.
“Fifty-two years and he broke through to the late Ruyi Stage!”
“That speed—unprecedented in history, right?”
“Dream cultivation method, so terrifying!”
“How in the world do you get into a dream to cultivate? Is it just the Eternal Emperor’s exclusive gig?”
“I’m loving this golden finger too!”
“Can someone grant me one?”
The entire cultivation world has gone into a frenzy over this diary.
The shock is beyond measure.
In Xuanqing Sect.
Yan Changkong and Grand Elder Chen Xiu exchange glances, wide-eyed and speechless. It’s like they’ve turned into wooden sculptures, unable to utter a word.
If they had this dream cultivation method too, wouldn’t they have taken over the cultivation world ages ago?
At Jade Pool Sacred Land!
Yuan Ruoyu and the other elders are gasping, utterly floored. They look like they’ve just seen a ghost.
Yuan Ruoyu is a bit more composed—she was somehow prepared for this—but she’s made up her mind: “Next time, I must learn this dream cultivation method.” Who wouldn’t want to break through that fast?
—–
Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
In the Divine Immortal Hall, all the ministers are stone-faced and frozen in place, like they’ve turned into wooden statues. Clearly, they are stunned by the contents of the diary.
After a moment…
Prime Minister Gongyang Mu finally stammers, “No wonder the Eternal Emperor could rise so quickly. This dream cultivation method is just too powerful.” As he speaks, he unconsciously glances at Ye Qingge sitting on the throne, thinking, “If Her Majesty learned even the slightest bit, achieving immortality would be just around the corner!”
His thoughts drifted to the special relationship between the Empress and Lin Feng, igniting a flame of hope in his heart. If the Empress reaches immortality, wouldn’t they all bask in her glow?
Ye Qingge, on the surface emotionless, is secretly over the moon with pride for Lin Feng!
She thinks to herself, “As expected of the man I admire, even a casual revelation is enough to leave the cultivators of the world in awe!”
As her thoughts wander, her slender legs subtly shift under her magnificent robe.
“This dream cultivation method is getting more and more interesting,” she murmurs in her heart, suddenly sighing. “If only I had cherished it from the start and hadn’t thought it was all a scam, just lost in the delusion…”
Regretting not being more understanding in the past, she wonders, “What if I had been a bit more proactive? Maybe my circumstances would have been different.”
Perhaps now she too could master the dream cultivation method, surely taking her power to new heights!
Just then, the words on the screen shift again.
The diary continues…
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page Eighteen:
[I think it’s time to leave…]
[After returning to the sect for three months, this time my slumber was too long; familiar seniors from before are all gone.]
[Some have entered seclusion, some have gone out to train, and some have… well, they’ve kicked the bucket for various reasons.]
[Life is unpredictable, and I need to adapt.]
[As a transmigrator, I’m destined for longevity. Staying in the sect for too long won’t do; someone’s bound to catch on.]
[Unknowingly, I’ve been here for decades now. Leaving is quite hard, but I’ll come back often.]
[Next, I might stop by the Central State first. It’s the most prosperous area of this continent, full of mighty beings and definitely worth visiting.]
[And of course, I still want to see Ruo Yu. It’s been years, and I miss her dearly.]
