Chapter 82: Operation Code “Cleanse Heaven and Earth!”
The Jiang Family is rattled!
With the exposure of the Eternal Emperor’s two diary entries, many of the Jiang Family’s dirty secrets were laid bare, and this colossal faction quickly sprang into action.
Jiang Wujì’s management skills are lacking!
That doesn’t mean the Jiang Family lacks talent. The elder council has swiftly assessed the current situation and made some rapid-fire decisions.
“First, abandon the slaughter hall!”
“Let Jiang Yuan take charge to completely wipe out the slaughter hall and destroy all evidence and traces!”
In the main hall, an elderly man with a beard as white as snow said slowly, “Second, the Luo Family needs to be given an explanation. Jiang Tang must contact them immediately to discuss compensation for damages!”
“Hmph, they wouldn’t dare to ask for too much!”
The elderly man paused for a moment, then sighed, “As for Xuánxū Gate, that has to be dealt with by the ancestor himself.”
Xuánxū Gate is also a major superpower in the Central State. It’s not much weaker than the Jiang Family, and like the Jiang Family, is one of the eighteen major powers under the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign.
If Jiang Wujì really had a fling with the Xuánxū Gate Master’s wife…
The elder council couldn’t handle that mess. Jiang Wujì would have to personally provide an explanation.
In truth, it’s not that big of a deal, just a blow to dignity; a suitable compensation could cover it. For powers of their level, they wouldn’t start a war over a woman, especially not at this turbulent time!
The Heavenly Punishment Sovereign wouldn’t allow that kind of chaos either.
With a string of orders issued!
At this moment, the Jiang Family’s projection array flickered again, and a new diary entry appeared.
The elders of the Jiang Family felt a chill in their hearts.
Almost in unison, they thought, “Let’s hope nothing ridiculous comes out now!”
The previous two diary entries had already cost the Jiang Family a pretty penny!
Everyone’s hearts bled for their losses.
Before long, a brand new diary entry came into view.
Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page 39:
【It’s still the Jiang Family!】
【Three years pass and then three more, in the blink of an eye, I’ve been undercover in the Jiang Family for over thirty years.】
【But recently, I finally got some results.】
【After Jiang Wujì completely trusted me, he said he wanted to cultivate me as his right-hand man and told me some secrets.】
【First of all, it’s confirmed that the Celestial Realm is undergoing huge changes!】
【For a long time, the Jiang Family has been a lapdog for the Celestial Court, mainly responsible for supplying a large amount of resources, spirit stones, and books to the Celestial Court.】
【At the same time, they also had to capture cultivators reaching the Primordial Void stage or above and hand them over to the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign for unknown reasons.】
【Most victims are rogue cultivators.】
【Besides that, I also learned a secret from Jiang Wujì: there is a passage in the Abyssal Sea that allows escapees from the Celestial Realm to sneak into the Mortal Realm.】
【Celestials who sneak down from the Abyssal Sea can retain their cultivation for a short while.】
【Celestials coming to the Mortal Realm mainly deal with those emperors unwilling to ascend, indicating that I’m not the only one who discovered that ascending is a trap.】
【Those emperors unwilling to ascend hide in the shadows, avoiding the Celestial Court’s pursuit!】
【This might be a force worth winning over!】
【What I need to clarify now is: why is the Celestial Realm capturing so many emperors in the Tribulation Period? What’s their endgame?】
【Mining?】
【That’s still to be verified; for now, I must stay vigilant.】
【After learning these secrets, I was somewhat shocked; in a way, it confirmed my suspicions.】
【Actually, I still prefer to linger…】
【After all, since I’ve gained longevity, I don’t need to ascend. I can live freely in the Mortal Realm, isn’t that delightful?】
【According to Jiang Wujì, the Celestial Court initially only wanted to capture Great Ascension stage cultivators, but then they also started targeting Primordial Void cultivators, gradually lowering their standards…】

【Which means, in the future, maybe even Yuanying and Jindan cultivators will be harvested too; it seems that no cultivator will be able to escape!】
【If I can’t escape!】
【I must plan ahead; this will be a protracted war…】
【I’ve broken my goals into three steps!】
【First, seal up the passage in the Abyssal Sea to prevent future troubles.】
【Second, eradicate all of the Celestial Court’s minions and lapdogs in the Mortal Realm!】
【Third, concentrate firepower and overthrow the man-eating Celestial Court!】
【The operation code is: Cleanse Heaven and Earth!】
【For now, I still have to bide my time and gather as much intelligence as possible to ensure everything goes smoothly!】
This diary ends here, and the shocking information revealed is nothing short of mind-blowing!
Although, after the Cangwu Mountain incident, most cultivators in the cultivation world already knew the truth.
But this diary exposure undoubtedly provided solid evidence!
The Jiang Family really is a lapdog.
In fact, it all started over a hundred thousand years ago!
“The Jiang Family really deserves to d*e!”
“But what exactly happened in the Celestial Court? Why are they capturing so many cultivators?”
“In the Abyssal Sea, there’s even a passage that allows for sneaking down from the Celestial Realm?”
“What does this mean?”
“Could the Celestial Realm and the Nine States mainland be in the same dimensional plane?”
“If the Celestial Realm is like this in the Mortal Realm, how many minions do they have? We need to find out to uncover the truth!”
“But, let’s not jump to conclusions; maybe the Celestial Court has some difficulties they can’t disclose to us?”
“It’s not possible that the entire Celestial Realm is made up of bad guys, is it?”
“After all, many within the Celestial Court are former Great Emperors from our Mortal Realm, and there are many ancestral figures from all major forces. Are they all just bad people?”
“Best to just wait and see what happens!”
In an instant, the cultivators of the world were abuzz with opinions and reactions.
Some felt that all cultivators in the Mortal Realm should unite and resist the Celestial Court’s harvesting.
Others thought it might be a misunderstanding.
The Celestial Court might be only targeting the truly wicked, and besides, no one said that seized cultivators were necessarily killed!
Perhaps there are alternative paths?
A portion opted to continue observing, waiting for the situation to become clearer before making any plans.
However, at this time,
In a Cave Heaven within the Jiang Family’s territory.
After Jiang Wujì finished reading the diary, his head buzzed as if a thunderbolt had gone off in his mind!
Next, a cold chill surged from his feet straight to the crown of his head!
“d*mn it!”
Jiang Wujì gritted his teeth and cursed.
He finally realized that the passage in the Abyssal Sea had been blocked by Lin Feng.
And the secret being exposed was from his own mouth.
Now the whole world knows, and the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign will surely hold him accountable.
“What to do?”
Jiang Wujì was drenched in cold sweat; the Celestial Court was furious about this.
Celestials can’t retain their prowess to sneak into the Mortal Realm, which left the Celestial Court helpless against those emperors unwilling to ascend all these thousands of years.
They’ve been trying to repair the passage, but it’s not that easy to fix something that’s been destroyed.
Now that the Celestial Court knows this all traces back to him…
Jiang Wujì felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Sure enough!
At that moment, the small teleportation array in the Cave Heaven activated, and the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign, along with figures shrouded in cloaks, appeared.
Jiang Wujì felt a chill in his heart and quickly spoke, “Sovereign has descended! Wujì failed to welcome you appropriately; please forgive me!”
