Chapter 69: Diary, Ten Years, Searching for Blue Star!
Amidst everyone’s attention, the diary continued to be exposed.
The light screen fluctuated, and lines of text appeared before everyone…
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page Thirty:
[It’s been a long time since I last wrote in my diary.]
[Perhaps it’s because there isn’t much worth recording. Over time, habits form, and many things lose their initial freshness, becoming part of the mundane daily routine.]
[Unconsciously, nearly ten years have passed.]
[Ten years, this word truly brings back some distant memories…]
[Peach blossoms and spring winds, a cup of wine; night rain on the riverside, lamps burning for ten years.]
[Ten years have passed, two souls lost in the void, not thinking, yet unforgettable.]
[Ten years ago, I didn’t know you, you didn’t belong to me, we were still just accompanying a stranger on the left…]
[For a cultivator, ten years is but a fleeting moment, but for me, it’s even less significant.]
[Blue Star, black silk, bikinis, and the descendants of dragons.]
[Everything seems to slowly fade, I even doubt if it was all a dream?]
[An inexplicable sense of panic arises; will I forget all this in the distant future? This is the path I came from! I think this is the significance of this diary, everything recorded by me, one word at a time.]
[I thought about the Xuanqing Sect, wondering if it’s safe?]
[I want to visit someday.]
[Still residing in Liuyun City, the small courtyard I rent has gradually given me a feeling of home.]
[My cultivation hasn’t made significant progress, reaching the peak of late-stage Early Stage.]
[But I have a premonition that I will soon enter my next long sleep, filled with hope and some trepidation.]
[Ruo Yu broke through her cultivation two years ago, which wasn’t a big issue for her.]
[In these ten years,]
[I watched as a child grew up, got married, and had children.]
[Qing Auntie, who sells tofu, has gone from being a young girl to a ripe peach.]
[Friends come and go, but in the calm flow of life, I realize that ten years isn’t such a short time for ordinary people. How many decades can one person have?]
[I believe this is the meaning of cultivation.]
This chapter ends here, spanning a large time frame. It has been ten years since the previous entry.
Written are the Eternal Emperor’s reflections on time.
However, for cultivators worldwide, this exposes some information.
Discussion erupted across the lands.
“Peach blossoms and spring winds, a cup of wine; night rain on the riverside, lamps burning for ten years. Such poetry, such literary talent!”
“But why would the Great Emperor have so many thoughts after only ten years?”
“I think this is the gap between us and the Great Emperor; while he contemplates humanity over ten years, we might just close our eyes and wake up, having done nothing.”
“Blue Star, bikinis, descendants of dragons! Note down the key points!”
“The path the Great Emperor took…”
“Where is Blue Star? If we find it, perhaps we can unravel the Great Emperor’s origins.”
“This bikini is unheard of.”
As cultivators discussed, within the Jade Pool Sacred Land,
Grand Elder Wei Yuan had a serious expression and said solemnly, “Black silk is long stockings, but Blue Star and bikinis might be the key!”
“Based on the diary content, Blue Star should be a place name.”
At this point, another elder with a scholarly demeanor frowned and shook his head, saying, “But where exactly is this place?”
“When I traveled the Nine States in my youth, I visited many places, but I’ve never heard of such a place.”
The other elders nodded in agreement.
To become an elder of the Jade Pool Sacred Land, one must have profound cultivation and experience, far surpassing ordinary cultivators.
However, they had never heard of many things mentioned in the diary.
Grand Elder Wei Yuan suddenly said, “Perhaps Blue Star is indeed a place name, but not universally recognized…”
“For example, the Great Emperor first discovered it and named it Blue Star, so we haven’t heard of it, nor is it recorded in any texts.”
Wei Yuan continued,
“However, the Eternal Emperor likened it to the path he came from, showing its significance in his heart!”
“If we find it, all the mysteries could be solved.”
The elders present brightened and pondered, agreeing with Grand Elder Wei Yuan’s words.
“There’s also the descendants of dragons!”
“I speculate that the descendants of dragons might exist in Blue Star. The Great Emperor once went there, or perhaps originated from there!”
Grand Elder immediately said, “Exactly, now we need to find Blue Star!”
“We should ask the Holy Sovereign for any clues…”
Meanwhile, atop the mountain in the sacred land, on a lotus platform in the middle of a lake, Que Ruyi was deep in thought.
She murmured softly, “Ten years have passed, two souls lost in the void, not thinking, yet unforgettable.”
“How could you have such deep insights?”
Que Ruyi fell into deep contemplation; this was exactly how she felt inside.
Where is Lin Feng?

Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
By the bathhouse.
Ye Qingge and Qing Dai had already dressed, their loose robes failing to hide their graceful figures.
Lying on a long chair.
Their long, white legs peeked out from under the skirts.
Qing Dai sipped her milk tea, the sweet taste stimulating her palate, she couldn’t help but ask softly,
“Do you know where Blue Star is?”
A trace of memory flashed in Ye Qingge’s eyes, she said, “I did hear him mention it, but I don’t know the exact location.”
“He said it was a remote place, and he won’t go there anymore!”
Ye Qingge continued, “He also mentioned that black silk and bikinis are common there, flying boats can fly without relying on spiritual energy or formations.”
Hearing this, Qing Dai’s eyes sparkled with intense curiosity.
What kind of place could it be?
She then asked excitedly, “So what exactly are black silk and bikinis? Are they as good as milk tea?”
Ye Qingge: “…”
Her gaze unconsciously shifted to Qing Dai, she suddenly laughed, saying meaningfully, “Of course! You’ll definitely enjoy it if you wear one!”
Qing Dai felt puzzled but didn’t take it to heart. She resolved in her heart to visit Blue Star if she ever had the chance, to see if it was really as magical as described.

Jiang Family Grounds.
Dressed in a dark robe, Jiang Wujì had an excited look, his eyes gleaming with fervor, he said sternly,
“Find it! No matter what, we must find Blue Star!”
He paused and added, “The Eternal Emperor needs long periods of sleep, but his whereabouts have always been a mystery. I suspect he hid in Blue Star.”
“That’s why we’ve searched for so long with no results!”
Immediately, elders of the Jiang family were ordered to act urgently.
They dared not delay.
If they could find the Eternal Emperor, all troubles would be resolved.
Currently, the whole city was in an uproar, and the source of the turmoil was the Eternal Emperor.
The more Jiang Wujì thought, the more excited he became, his voice turning menacing, “Eternal Emperor, where can you run this time!”
He even considered solving Lin Feng while he was in a deep sleep.
That would be perfect!
Not just the Jiang family, but almost instantly after the diary was published, every major force in the cultivation world turned their attention to Blue Star.
Each had different goals.
But none of them differed in their desire to find Blue Star.
For a time, Blue Star seemed to become a ‘holy land’ in the eyes of all cultivators, bringing endless longing and anticipation to everyone.
