Chapter 68: I Suspect Someone Is Cutting the Green Onions!
The diary continues to be exposed…
On the Heavenly Machinery Pavilion’s transmission array, lines of text appeared.
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page Thirty-Four:
[After bidding farewell to Ruo Yu, I felt somewhat melancholic.]
[I quickly came to terms with it; this place is not like the Blue Star. We are cultivators, with long lifespans. In the future, we’ll have plenty of time to enjoy life together.]
[However…]
[I thought about a problem. If Ruo Yu remains an ordinary cultivator and fails to ascend to the Celestial Realm, she will eventually grow old. I must make plans for this. I need to uncover the secrets of ascending to the Celestial Realm.]
[I suspect that ascending is a trap. Someone might be using it to cut the green onions, harvesting one batch after another!]
[I arrived in Liuyun City.]
[I first found a secluded courtyard in the southern part of the city and rented it. The landlord was a Golden Core cultivator who was quite reasonable. I paid a thousand spirit stones for ten years, which is much cheaper than staying at an inn.]
[I set up a spirit gathering array and sealing array around the courtyard to ensure privacy.]
[I began considering my next moves…]
[I must seek out the truth of this world. The enemy’s power is too great; I cannot rush this. First, I need to make a comprehensive plan and proceed step by step!]
[At this moment, I realized my strength is insufficient. I need to improve as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, if I don’t train in dreams, my cultivation progress is very poor.]
[So, what should I do next? Following the conventional path, the next step should be…]
[Level up, defeat monsters, and collect treasures. Attend the cave sect auction. Complete missions, enter dungeons, and obtain divine pets. Buy random items on a whim, only to find they are celestial artifacts!]
[Well, let me settle in first. Occasionally visit auctions and treasure shops, paying close attention to those unremarkable items.]
[Haha, perhaps I can meet a fiery senior lady.]
[Living here also means being close to the Sacred Land. Occasionally, I can see Ruo Yu, achieving two goals at once.]
[Living in the bustling city is also a form of cultivation for me.]
This entry ends here.
Cultivators worldwide discussed it again after reading.
“Where is the Blue Star? Such a strange name! Investigate thoroughly!”
“Cutting the green onions? This metaphor is quite vivid!”
“Cultivating to achieve immortality. But if one is already immortal, what’s the point of cultivating?”
“To become stronger! Without power, immortality is useless; one cannot control their fate!”
“That’s true.”
“The Eternal Emperor is too fortunate. Progress is slow while awake but rapid during sleep. Unlike us, who struggle endlessly in seclusion and get stuck at a level for decades!”
“A great emperor is incomparable to ordinary people.”
“What does the emperor mean by focusing on overlooked items at auctions and treasure shops?”
“Could there really be treasures to find? I will try…”
“If that works, wouldn’t we be rich?”
“Unfortunately, the diary didn’t specify which courtyard. However, I estimate that real estate prices and rents in southern Liuyun City will rise soon.”
Jade Pool Sacred Land.
In the center of the mountain lake, Yuan Ruoyu read this entry and had her own insights.
She whispered softly, “Could he be investigating the truth of ascension for me?”
It might not be entirely so.
Lin Feng’s actions were certainly partly due to their existence.
Lin Feng had already achieved immortality. Whether or not he ascends or becomes a celestial being is irrelevant to him.
In the Mortal Realm, he could merely endure a bit more to achieve eternal life.
But Yuan Ruoyu and others cannot. To avoid d*ath, they must ascend and become celestial beings.
Ascending to the Celestial Realm might also be a trap!
A glint flashed in Yuan Ruoyu’s eyes. “No wonder he warned me long ago not to reveal my Tribulation Period cultivation unless in dire straits.”
“Once revealed, one would be targeted.”
Following this line of thought, she continued exploring…

Traditional Simplified
“Why haven’t we been targeted yet, even though Qingge and I have been exposed?”
Yuan Ruoyu frowned deeply. There must be some information she currently doesn’t understand.
There are two reasons.
One is because Lin Feng did something…
That prevented those who harvest emperors from acting.
Or, only unwilling emperors who don’t want to ascend until the Celestial Realm gate opens would be targeted.
On the other side, within the Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
Ye Qingge and Qing Dai were discussing similar issues.
In the bathhouse.
Ye Qingge suddenly thought of something and asked, “Did you feel anything special when you broke through to the ninth tier of demonic beasts?”
Qing Dai’s face turned solemn, and a peculiar light flashed in her eyes.
After a moment of silence, she slowly lifted her head and said seriously, “Whether it’s a demonic beast or a human cultivator, breaking through to the Tribulation Period requires understanding the Great Dao and comprehending its laws.”
“It is precisely because of this that one can cultivate their own Dao Domain.”
Ye Qingge nodded. This is also why Tribulation Period cultivators can be called emperors.
Once they use their Dao Domain, they surpass Great Ascension Period cultivators significantly.
This gap cannot be bridged by sheer numbers.
In the Mortal Realm, only an emperor can defeat an emperor. Even a peak Great Ascension Period cultivator cannot do so.
Qing Dai hesitated and added, “When I comprehended the laws of the Great Dao, there was a fleeting moment…”
“As if evil eyes were silently watching, locking onto me tightly.”
As she spoke, a look of fear appeared on Qing Dai’s face.
Though it wasn’t a life-threatening crisis, it was extremely evil. Just thinking about it made one shudder.
Ye Qingge’s expression grew cold. From her gaze, it was clear she had experienced such feelings before.
Qing Dai pondered and added, “That feeling vanished instantly, and I thought it was just an illusion.”
“But when we encountered the appearance of a previously ascended emperor on Cangwu Mountain, I realized things weren’t so simple.”
Ye Qingge nodded, looking up at the sky with a cold gaze, “Perhaps the heavens have changed long ago.”
“I reviewed the historical records of the Celestial Dynasty. Around eighty thousand years ago, for unknown reasons, passing the tribulation to become a celestial being became akin to opening the Celestial Realm gate.”
“The reasons behind it are intriguing.”
For a moment, the atmosphere became heavy.
Eighty thousand years.
If the heavens truly changed back then, it would have rotted away completely by now.
Most importantly, they still haven’t figured out the source of this change.
Was it due to the first emperors who ascended?
To control newcomers for resources, they might have set traps?
That’s a possibility.
After all, wherever there are people, there is conflict, whether in the Mortal Realm or the Celestial Realm.
As long as one wants to climb higher, they will fight over resources.
How does one explain the unusual fluctuations of the Great Dao?
Ye Qingge sighed. Everything is still unclear.
She looked at the projection screen nearby and softly said, “Perhaps the diary holds the answer.”
Qing Dai nodded slightly, her gaze hopeful.
While other cultivators still have time, for emperors like them, it’s urgent.
They don’t know when the Celestial Realm gate will open.
If it does and they choose not to ascend, what will happen?
Without uncovering the truth, who would dare ascend to the Celestial Realm?!
At this moment.
The projection screen changed, and the diary updated.
Lines of text slowly appeared.
