Chapter 44: Playing Against Heaven, Winning Half a Move!

The diary of the Eternal Emperor has been exposed once again!

In just these ten days, so much has happened.

According to the diary, the secrets hidden in Cangwu Mountain have been revealed, causing panic throughout the entire cultivation world.

Many factions have placed their hopes on the Eternal Emperor.

Therefore, this time, the publication of the emperor’s diary has attracted even more attention.

In everyone’s gaze…

The transmission array of Tianji Pavilion across the Nine States lit up with a screen.

Page 11 of the Eternal Emperor’s diary:

[After leaving Cangwu Mountain, I fled overnight, leaving Ningzhou and continuing toward the Central State.]

[Throughout the journey, I felt uneasy!]

[This discovery was truly shocking, far beyond imagination.]

[The corpses there had all been drained; their magic power, essence bl**d, and divine soul were completely gone.]

[Moreover, why did even the emperors who ascended to the Celestial Realm also d*e there?]

[Risk comes with immortality, and ascension requires caution!]

[There must be some problem in the Celestial Realm…]

[At least, it is not as beautiful as everyone imagines; the Celestial Court might not be entirely good.]

[Whether it’s partly bad or entirely bad, it’s best to be cautious and not ascend easily!]

This part of the diary ends here.

Although everyone already knew about the contents of Cangwu Mountain, the diary still caused significant shock.

Cultivators around the world discussed it fervently.

Jade Pool Sacred Land!

All the elders of the sacred land had grim faces after reading the diary.

“The Eternal Emperor suspects that something is wrong in the Celestial Realm?”

“Are there really evil people in the Celestial Court?”

“Did the emperors who ascended to the Celestial Realm d*e because they made mistakes, or for other reasons?”

There was a commotion at the scene, with many elders whispering among themselves.

Their tone was heavy.

Ascending to the Celestial Realm was once their faith.

But now, this faith is crumbling bit by bit.

The bloody facts told them that the Celestial Realm is not as beautiful as imagined, but rather, it devours people!

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Only Yuan Ruoyu was not too surprised.

Because before this, she had also suspected the Celestial Realm. Seeing this diary entry only strengthened her suspicions.

Yuan Ruoyu said calmly, “There must be some unknown issue in the Celestial Realm!”

“That’s what led to the current situation!”

After a moment of silence, all the elders nodded.

They agreed with this statement.

The key question was, if this were true, then how should future cultivators become immortals?

If they don’t ascend, how can they become immortals?

At this moment, Grand Elder Cangyuan asked, “I am now worried about the emperors from our sacred land who ascended.”

“What if they…”

The moment he spoke, the atmosphere became heavy.

In this world, sects and heritage are highly valued, so the former sect elders are also greatly respected.

Yuan Ruoyu sighed and shook her head, “Perhaps, we can only know the truth when we uncover what happened in the Celestial Realm.”

“However, my ancestors of Jade Pool have unparalleled abilities; there is no need to worry too much!”

Yuan Ruoyu paused, then continued, “What we need to do now is protect the sacred land!”

“Then!”

She said coldly, “We must find those who devour people and eliminate them all!”

All the elders were indignant and nodded continuously.

—

Liyue Celestial Dynasty.

Lotus Immortal Palace.

Prime Minister Yang Mu said, “Since then, the Eternal Emperor has suspected abnormalities in the Celestial Realm.”

He paused, then added, “But, how will future cultivators achieve immortality under these circumstances?”

In Cangwu Mountain, strange people and the Strange Evil Eye appeared.

At the time, they didn’t think much about it.

They thought it was just an issue in the Mortal Realm.

Warm Reminder: The top right corner of the page has functions such as “Switch Between Traditional and Simplified Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Read Background Color.”

Now, looking back, seeing the emperor’s diary makes us realize that abnormalities may also exist in the Celestial Realm.

Suddenly feeling a chill.

When Yang Mu finished speaking, the court fell silent.

Everyone’s face was gloomy.

They were all top talents and among the strongest cultivators in the current cultivation world.

They were the ones with the highest hopes of ascending.

But now, this path to ascension has been cut off.

Empress Ye Qingge raised her eyes and said calmly, “Why can’t we become immortals?”

“The Celestial Realm has problems…”

As Ye Qingge spoke, her eyes narrowed, and she said with a murderous intent,

“I will lead you to storm the heavens, overthrow the Celestial Court, and eliminate all the anomalies. I will become the ruler of the Celestial Court!”

“At that time, you will still be my subjects!”

Her domineering voice seemed like a breeze, dispersing the gloom in everyone’s hearts.

Everyone woke up from a dream.

Each person looked at the imperial throne in astonishment, at the imposing figure standing high above.

Ye Qingge led the rise of the Liyue Celestial Dynasty amidst chaos, creating countless miracles!

Boom!

Suddenly, all the ministers in the great hall knelt down!

They prostrated themselves, shouting in unison!

“We are willing to follow Your Majesty to overthrow the Celestial Court and exterminate the anomalies!”

“We are willing to follow Your Majesty to overthrow the Celestial Court and exterminate the anomalies!”

“We are willing to follow Your Majesty to overthrow the Celestial Court and exterminate the anomalies!”

Seeing this, Ye Qingge thought to herself, “I may not be able to do it!”

“But my man will definitely succeed!”

After interacting with Ye Xi, Ye Qingge knew that Lin Feng must have a backup plan!

Or perhaps, he is setting up a grand scheme!

No matter what…

When he acts, I will become his strongest support!

My position will be secure!

After a while, Ye Qingge lazily waved her hand and said, “Get up!”

“To overthrow the Celestial Court and exterminate the anomalies!”

“These matters cannot be achieved just by words, but require real actions and preparations!”

All the ministers stood up, their expressions excited.

They were no longer depressed and disheartened!

They were the elites of heaven and earth; they feared nothing but the lack of a path ahead.

Now, Ye Qingge has shown them a way!

At this moment, the content on the screen changed.

The diary continued to update.

Page 22 of the Eternal Emperor’s diary:

[I arrived at a small town called Wushan and stayed for a few days.]

[I don’t know why, but since leaving Cangwu Mountain, I’ve felt uneasy, as if someone is watching me…]

[I increasingly feel the seriousness of the situation; perhaps the entire cultivation world has fallen into a conspiracy.]

[I originally wanted to pretend ignorance and continue hiding.]

[But after careful consideration, I realized it’s not that simple; every cultivator is involved. I speculate that once one reaches a certain level of cultivation, they will be targeted and eventually devoured.]

[The opponent is incredibly powerful.]

[It could be a terrifying force spanning the Mortal Realm, Celestial Realm, and the Netherworld—a true dimensional strike!]

[But I won’t sit idly by and wait to d*e!]

[Neither d*ath in silence nor silence in d*ath…]

[I will exterminate all evil, like the spring wind sweeping away dust, revealing clear skies after the rain!]

[Playing against heaven, I will win half a move!]

This part of the diary ends here.

Once again, it caused quite a stir!

The Eternal Emperor had long made up his mind to find and exterminate all evil!

Even if it’s a superpower spanning the realms of the Immortal, Mortal, and Netherworld, so what?

Eliminate them!

Moreover, the last sentence in the diary further boosted morale!

Playing against heaven, I will win half a move!

How domineering and heroic is this?

At this moment, the entire cultivation world seemed to be infected, ignited with a raging fire, full of fighting spirit.
