Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed - Chapter 4

Azure Province, Southern Region.

Profound Azure Sect.

Sect Master Yan Changkong trembled as he took out a bottle of pills, swallowing several in quick succession.

Calming Essence Pills.

These pills could help calm a person’s restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, excitement, and unease.

Hoo…

Yan Changkong refined the medicinal energy in his body, and his trembling legs finally steadied.

Fifteen minutes later, he tidied his appearance and walked out of the main hall.

“Sect Master!”

Elder Chen Xiu bowed and greeted him, his expression tense as he said, “Just as you predicted, all the factions have arrived!”

“The Holy Lands, the ancient clans, the Immortal Dynasty, and those super sects!”

Yan Changkong cast him a glance and said in a deep voice, “Why are you panicking? Guests are here; just do your part. Do you think they’ll eat us?”

“The bigger the matter, the calmer we must be!”

Elder Chen Xiu’s face relaxed a little at that.

He thought to himself, no wonder he could be the sect master while I can only be an elder.

I fall short in this regard!

“Let’s go!”

“Hmph, let’s meet these major powers!”

After saying this, Yan Changkong walked ahead, taking the opportunity to discreetly swallow a few more Calming Essence Pills.

Outside the mountain gate.

Thousands of disciples from the Profound Azure Sect looked tense, watching as various mounts, flying ships, dragon boats, and Xuan birds flew in from the sky.

It felt as though they were facing a formidable enemy!

As Yan Changkong approached, the disciples felt as if they had found their backbone and hurriedly parted to make way.

“Why are you all so nervous with guests coming from afar?”

Yan Changkong scolded them and turned to Elder Chen Xiu, saying, “Shut down the protective formation! This is no way to host guests. We don’t want to make a fool of ourselves!”

If a fight broke out, what use would the protective formation be against such a lineup? It would be a waste of spirit stones!

Elder Chen Xiu hesitated for a moment but quickly followed orders and instructed the formation to be shut down.

“Haha!”

Yan Changkong stepped forward, cupping his hands toward the sky in all directions, and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoists, your arrival has truly brought glory to our Profound Azure Sect!”

“However, there are too many of you, and our sect is small; I fear we may not be able to host you adequately. Please forgive us.”

In the sky above.

From a colorful cloud of lotus flowers, a middle-aged woman dressed in simple robes stepped out, smiling gently as she said, “Sect Master Yan, you’re too courteous! We should be the ones apologizing for coming uninvited.”

“It’s a matter of great importance, so we had no choice but to come.”

The speaker was from the Jade Pool Holy Land.

At that moment, a young man dressed in a purple robe and bearing an arrogant expression stepped out from a gigantic skyship.

The ship was adorned with flying banners representing the three great ancient clans of Jiang, Zuo, and Hua.

Jiang Youlong, with his thin lips and narrow eyes, glanced at Yan Changkong and said coldly, “Stop wasting time!”

“Hand over all the information regarding the Immortal Emperor and let us experience the Emperor’s cultivation journey firsthand!”

A flash of displeasure crossed Yan Changkong’s eyes, but he maintained a cheerful smile as he replied, “Of course, of course!”

“Rest assured, I have prepared all the materials, and they are absolutely accurate. I will distribute them for everyone to review right away.”

As Yan Changkong spoke, he added with some difficulty, “However, if you wish to experience the Emperor’s cultivation journey, I’m afraid we cannot accommodate so many people at once!”

The ones who came today were the top powers in the cultivation world. There were likely over ten thousand people altogether.

With such a large crowd, it was impossible for everyone to experience the path of cultivation that the Emperor once walked.

After discussions among the various factions, it was decided that each faction could send only two representatives into the Profound Azure Sect, while the rest would wait outside.

At this time, Yan Changkong had already instructed people to distribute the prepared materials on the Immortal Emperor.

Thus, no trouble arose.

The woman from the Jade Pool Holy Land, named Liu Piao, cast an appreciative glance at Yan Changkong.

She thought to herself, “Though his cultivation level is not high, he is indeed a clever and thoughtful person.”

Soon, several thousand copies of the Immortal Emperor’s information were distributed.

While not everyone could have a personal copy, each faction was ensured to receive one, preventing any disputes.

As everyone looked over the materials, discussions erupted.

“The Immortal Emperor was originally named Lin Feng?”

“What a nice name!”

“Truly deserving of the title of Emperor; he was so compassionate, bringing back injured little demon beasts to treat them in the sect.”

“Yes, the Emperor would regularly invite fellow disciples to show care for the elders in the sect, offering warmth and blessings! That’s quite rare!”

“He was also protective of his peers and valued his teachers; whenever there was a problem in the sect, he was always at the forefront!”

The disciples from various factions looked at the abundant material, which contained tens of thousands of characters, reading with great interest.

They frequently leaned in to whisper to each other.

“Look at this part!”

“Wow! To perfect a sword technique, the Emperor practiced a single pose a million times!”

“So astonishing—”

“Perseverance—no wonder he could become an Emperor!”

“Besides cultivating, he also advocated for protecting the sect’s environment, never trampling on flowers and grass…”

“The sect is our home; it’s up to everyone to take care of it!”

“Exceptional talent, unwavering perseverance, and yet he could maintain a pure heart!”

“Indeed, anyone who can become an Emperor is not an accident; we must keep this in mind!”

Liu Piao reflected on the materials she held and felt quite emotional.

Suddenly!

She thought of something and turned to Yan Changkong, saying, “Sect Master Yan, is your sect’s outer disciple registration this detailed?”

As soon as she said this, many people looked over.

Indeed!

Logically speaking, an outer disciple shouldn’t need such detailed records, right?

It was filled with tens of thousands of characters!

It was even detailed enough to note when the disciple felt down and ate one bowl of rice less.

Yan Changkong remained calm and shook his head, saying, “Of course not; with thousands of outer disciples, how could we record each one in such detail?”

Silence.

Everyone waited for his next response.

The Great Elder, Chen Xiu, averted his gaze, secretly breaking out in a cold sweat.

Yan Changkong’s expression turned serious as he said earnestly, “But the Immortal Emperor was not an ordinary outer disciple!”

“In fact, he displayed extraordinary talent even then!”

“The reason he was arranged as an outer disciple was to protect him. You know, we’re just a small sect…”

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere relaxed somewhat.

It made sense.

“And throughout his subsequent cultivation, this was proven; his growth rate was unparalleled.”

“Every deed he accomplished held profound significance for our sect!”

“Without a doubt! He became the backbone of our Profound Azure Sect, even more important than the Sect Master.”

Yan Changkong spoke confidently, “So, a figure of such importance to the sect…”

“Shouldn’t he be recorded in detail?”

Another moment of silence followed, but many people were already nodding in agreement.

Liu Piao smiled, “Yes, he should! It was my oversight; I hope Sect Master Yan can forgive me.”

Yan Changkong waved his hand and discreetly glared at the Great Elder. He inwardly cursed, I asked you to embellish it a bit, and you wrote a whole biography instead!

Then, he turned back to everyone and said, “Alright, everyone has seen enough!”

“Next, let’s go visit the Immortal Emperor’s former residence!”

Liu Piao and the other leaders from various factions exchanged serious glances.

The Emperor’s former residence!

That was the place where the Immortal Emperor had once lived. Perhaps there would be some important clues!
