Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed - Chapter 1

Azure Province.

Blue Heaven Territory, Tai Shi Mountain Range.

Lin Feng stood on a huge rock at the top of the mountain, gazing into the distance.

The sea of clouds churned at the mountainside, with the celestial radiance pouring in the distance, and a magnificent rainbow spanning between two peaks.

The scenery before him was like a fairyland in a painting.

“Not bad!”

“I didn’t expect such a view here.”

Lin Feng exclaimed, his handsome face resembling that of a youthful teenager.

However, in reality, he was already six thousand years old.

Counting from the time he crossed over to this cultivation world…. For six thousand years, he had always adhered to the path of stabilizing his cultivation and quietly developing.

Thus, the name Lin Feng remained unknown.

But if you were to mention the aliases he had used before, just pick any…

They were all renowned throughout the world.

Even today, there were legends left by ‘him’ in various places of the Eastern Xuan Continent.

“Let’s rest here for a long time!”

“After this time, I should be able to break through to the later stage of Tribulation Crossing.”

Lin Feng smiled, very satisfied with this resting place.

In this world, the realm of cultivators was divided into: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, Void Refinement, Integration, Mahayana, and Tribulation Crossing.

Nine major realms!

Beyond that was transcending the Heavenly Dao, becoming a True Immortal and living freely.

However.

Since the moment Lin Feng crossed over, he had already become immortal, with cultivation just being the pursuit of strength.

And his way of cultivation was different from other cultivators.

He became immortal from the beginning, but every thousand years, he needed to rest for a while, ranging from a dozen to several dozen years.

During his sleep, he would enter a mysterious state.

Like dreaming…

Lin Feng cultivated in his dreams, feeling as if assisted by the divine, making rapid progress.

Before this, he had already rested five times.

His cultivation reached the early stage of Tribulation Crossing. The further he progressed, the harder it was to break through the realms.

Next.

Lin Feng first displayed his techniques, opening a cave halfway up the mountain.

Then, within a hundred miles of the cave, he laid out the Heavenly Tribulation Formation, which encompassed myriad phenomena.

Inside that, he arranged the Ten Directions Heavenly Gate Killing Formation.

A bit further inside, he successively set up the Great Circulation Demon-Slaying Formation and the Small Circulation Soul-Locking Formation.

These were all formidable killing formations, interconnected, and immensely powerful!

“Not enough yet!”

Lin Feng then took out various treasures and talismans, using the cave as the center to set up layers of restrictions and traps.

Finally, he used the supreme secret technique to shield from the heavenly order and hide this corner of the world in the void.

After completing all of this, he clapped his hands, smiling satisfactorily.

What had ensured his success for thousands of years?

Nothing but stability and caution.

Suddenly, Lin Feng looked into the distance, his gaze seemingly piercing through space, reaching faraway lands.

“I’m off to sleep!”

“Let the raging waters behind me do as they please, haha!”

As his words fell, he disappeared into the cave.

The space in this area also became distorted and blurred until the gate of the cave was completely closed.

Years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the weather was fine.

But something earth-shattering happened on the Eastern Xuan Continent, something that rocked the entire land and drove countless people crazy.

The Immortal Emperor’s diary was found!

It was said that a group of wandering cultivators stumbled upon the cave where the Immortal Emperor had once secluded himself during their treasure-seeking adventure and found it there.

The news spread, shaking the world.

Even the immortal sects, holy lands, and ancient clans were stirred.

Old cultivators that usually hid beneath the waters also surfaced.

The Immortal Diary was like a thunderbolt from the blue, exposing everything that was previously hidden.

After all, the Immortal Emperor’s reputation was too great!

He was one of the acknowledged strongest figures in the cultivation world today, a peerless emperor whose power surpassed all in ancient and modern times.

He was a symbol of mystery and invincibility!

The Immortal Emperor’s cultivation, techniques, alchemy, artifact refining, and formations were all unparalleled in the world.

For thousands of years, he never suffered a defeat, but his true identity has always been unknown!

Is the veil of this mysterious emperor finally about to be lifted?

As time passed…

This frenzy gradually turned into an atmosphere of solemnity, pervading the entire world!

Everyone wanted to get their hands on the diary!

An unprecedented storm of bloodshed was brewing.

“It can’t go on like this!”

“If it comes to a fight, who can guarantee they’ll have the last laugh?”

Inside a grand and ancient hall, dozens of the most powerful cultivators of the present age argued fiercely, their faces flushed.

These were representatives of immortal sects, holy lands, and ancient clans.

The diary had been sealed with a secret technique, guarded personally by the elders of the major powers, and no one could approach it.

In the hall, an elderly man in black robes, with a sharp gaze, looked around and slowly said:

“My fellow Daoists, if we hand over the diary now, who dares to take it back?”

“…”

For a moment, the eyes of the crowd flickered, yet no one dared to respond.

After pondering over this period of time, they all understood: everyone wanted the Immortal Diary, but no one could have it!

That thing was now like a thunderbolt in the sky.

Touch it, and you die!

Those present were representatives of the most powerful forces in the world today, but that didn’t mean they were truly invincible.

There were still many ancient cultivators lurking in the shadows, watching closely.

Now, all the cultivators in the world were watching!

Whoever dares to take the diary away won’t have peace again, and will surely fall into endless assassination and targeting.

“Tianji, in your opinion, what should we do?”

The old man known as Tianji smiled faintly and said, “Simple. Opportunities should not be exhausted, and it’s better to share joy with others.”

“The contents of this diary will be announced by the Tianji Pavilion!”

“Let all cultivators in the world share it!”

As soon as this statement was made, the entire hall was shocked, each person showing a look of astonishment.

The air suddenly quieted down.

In the end, after some contemplation, everyone present agreed with the words of Elder Tianji.

“Wonderful, truly wonderful!”

Some even applauded!

In this way, the risk of the Immortal Diary being monopolized by a certain sect was completely avoided.

Equality for everyone, it’s great!

Besides, even if the diary did contain supreme techniques, how could other cultivators compete with them when everyone knew about it?

In the end, all factions unanimously agreed for the Tianji Pavilion to announce the contents of the diary to the world.

And the contents were to be recorded into a transmission formation, with several pages being published daily to prevent cheating.

Of course, this result brought joy to everyone.

Thus, a catastrophic storm was avoided.

Days passed.

Soon, it was time for the first publication of the Immortal Diary.

At this moment, whether it was a powerful cultivator, an ordinary mortal, or a major demonic clan, all held their breath and eagerly awaited.

On the transmission formations spread across the continent by the Tianji Pavilion, light screens lit up.

One by one, characters appeared on them.

The first page of the Immortal Emperor’s diary:

[Grass!]

[I’ve crossed over!]

[This kind of cliché thing actually happened to me!]

[I really didn’t expect to cross over!]

[And where’s my golden finger? I just looked for it, but there’s neither the old man in my soul nor a system!]

[System, come out!!]

…

(T/N; 1. “grass” 草, cǎo, meaning “Damn!” profane word in Chinese similar to the English F-word.

2. Immortal Emperor is a title not a cultivation level. 3. Golden finger: cheat code)
