Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed

Qingzhou, the southern region.

Xuanqing Sect.

The elder Chen Xiu looked at Yan Changkong with disbelief and asked, "Master, are you sure we're not going to Ningzhou?"

"This is what Lin Feng Laozu said, it's about a secret that can affect the entire cultivation world, related to Ascension..." Yan Changkong sighed, then firmly replied, "We're not going!"

"Let Elder Qi Yuan take a few disciples, treat it as an opportunity for them to gain experience, and the sect will reimburse their travel expenses."

Chen Xiu still looked puzzled. This was a rare opportunity.

All the sects and families from various states sent their strongest individuals, hoping to compete for a chance.

Although Xuanqing Sect's power was not strong at the moment, its status was still there.

Considering the two Great Emperors as their backers...

If Yan Changkong personally went, other forces would still have to give them some face.

But Yan Changkong actually decided not to go?

Isn't that too hasty?

Seeing that the elder was still unwilling to leave, Yan Changkong had to patiently explain, saying with great emphasis, "If there really is a great opportunity, why didn't Lin Feng Laozu secretly inform us earlier?"

"If he didn't do that, it means he has his considerations!"

"Either there's a hidden agenda, or our current strength in Xuanqing Sect is not enough to obtain this opportunity."

The elder was speechless for a moment, stunned.

At this point, Yan Changkong continued, "Moreover, with the commotion this time, all the major forces are making their moves. Even if I go to compete, what are the chances of winning?"

"Relying on others to give face?"

"If there really is a great opportunity, even if Lin Feng Laozu appears, it might not be effective. When it comes to competing, it doesn't matter who you are!"

A trace of shame appeared on the elder's face.

Yan Changkong continued, "Now the sect is developing rapidly, but we must not lose our heads! We must remain calm."

"We must endure!"

"Develop steadily, strengthen ourselves, and opportunities will come."

The elder felt extremely ashamed and embarrassed.

Yan Changkong said again, "We can't compete for this opportunity."

"Let Elder Qi Yuan take a few talented disciples, treat it as an experience to broaden their horizons."

"Ensure that we have someone on the scene who can understand the secret that the ancestor mentioned as soon as possible."

Tears streamed down the elder's face. The sect master had great foresight, and he had doubted him for being afraid of death!

Am I still a human?

The elder, deeply moved, said, "Master, stop talking! I will go and tell Elder Qi Yuan about this matter!"

"From now on, I will support all your decisions!"

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the main hall, then disappeared into the distance.

A moment later...

Yan Changkong took a deep breath and took out a Quiet Breath Divine Pill, swallowing it.

Then, with some regret, he said, "Should I still go and compete? Should I go and watch those Mahayana stage battles?"

"I was almost scared to death last time!"

---

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Ningzhou, Tianlan Domain.

In just a few days, it had become the liveliest place in the cultivation world.

Countless flying boats, ships, and carriages flew through the air.

They all eventually landed in Tianlan Domain in Qingzhou.

This time, the number of people sent by the major forces far exceeded the scale of the previous trip to Xuanqing Sect.

After all, the previous trip was just to probe the depths of the Great Emperor.

To visit the Great Emperor's former residence and the like.

But this time, it was different. They were truly competing for an opportunity, exploring the secret of Ascension.

They wanted to fight, to seize it!

If they couldn't agree, it could potentially trigger a great war that would shake the entire cultivation world.

After all, almost all forces were participating.

The superpowers wanted to monopolize the opportunity.

The first-class powers wanted a share.

The second-class powers wanted to pick up some leftovers.

Even the third-class powers and various independent cultivators were hoping for a chance and watching closely.

As long as there was an opportunity, they would not hesitate to take action.

Everyone was focused on the Great Emperor's diary. That was the day they were waiting for.

With the momentum of wind and thunder, the various forces gathered in Tianlan Domain.

The entire Tianlan Domain seemed to be shrouded in a solemn and heavy atmosphere, and the air became extremely oppressive.

The pressure reached the An Family.

At this moment!

Inside the An Family's ancestral land, there were tens of thousands of An Family disciples living here.

Of course, the majority were ordinary people with average aptitude, living in peripheral towns.

Only those with excellent cultivation talent could enter the core area of the An Family.

In the past, the core disciples of the An Family only needed to focus on cultivation.

They lived carefree lives, with various resources continuously provided.

But now, even in the core city of the An Family, everyone was on edge and had heavy expressions.

Although most people knew that the An Family's Cangwu Mountain had a secret, a secret that was exposed by the immortal Great Emperor.

They didn't know the specifics of the secret.

However, from the fact that the ancestors were alarmed and came out of seclusion.

Combined with the series of arrangements made by the clan leader, An Shanyuan.

It made all the members of the An Family understand that the family seemed to be truly facing a life-or-death crisis.

Even some children with good talent had been secretly sent out of the An Family and placed elsewhere.

"What secret does Cangwu Mountain hold?"

"Yeah, we've been living here for so long and haven't noticed anything."

"Whatever it is, it's all that damn Great Emperor's fault!"

"Damn it, if it weren't for his diary being exposed, how could my An Family have suffered such a disaster?"

"What are we afraid of? We are not easy to bully when we settle down!"

"This is a perfect opportunity to show everyone the strength of our An Family and vow to live or die with our clan!"

In the core area of the An Family, the younger generation of cultivators were filled with righteous indignation.

They were angrily discussing the matter.

At this moment, in an ancient palace in the An Family.

The patriarch, An Shanyuan, stood tremblingly on the side, bowing respectfully, recounting the details of the situation.

As well as his series of arrangements for the An Family.

Three elderly men with thin and white hair sat quietly on chairs, listening attentively.

There was no trace of miraculous fluctuations on them.

They seemed like ordinary mortal elders.

But upon closer inspection, they didn't seem like it. They gave off a profound and unfathomable feeling.

These three people were the founding ancestors of the An Family in Ningzhou.

Ten thousand years ago, they led their clan to settle here and developed and grew the ancestral lineage.

They were also the most powerful cultivators in the entire An Family.

Thousands of years ago, the third ancestor of the An Family was already a prominent figure in the cultivation world.

At that time, he had already reached the Mahayana stage.

"Elder, this is the current situation..."

After An Shanyuan finished speaking, he waited quietly on the side for further instructions.

There was a moment of silence.

"Sigh..."

The eldest, An Yujun, let out a soft sigh, his face still calm, his gaze falling on An Shanyuan, saying,

"You have done well!"

The second eldest, An Yudou, and the third eldest, An Yuheng, also nodded with a smile, their faces still calm.

Calm as a still pond.

An Yujun pondered for a moment and continued, "What's meant to come will come. I have long thought that this day would come."

"Now that it has come, we must find a way to resolve it."

An Shanyuan's face twitched slightly, unable to speak.

However, the appearance of the three ancestors gave him great reassurance and a sense of direction.

He was no longer as panicked as before.

An Yujun continued, "Let's wait for the others first. We can't handle this matter alone as the An Family!"

"Strength lies in numbers. We need everyone to contribute their efforts in order to resolve the crisis."

An Yuanshan quickly said, "Elder, we have already sent people to notify them. They should be arriving soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, laughter came from outside.

"Hahaha!"

"An Yujun, you old fox, you didn't call us wrong!"

"That's right, you just came out of seclusion and already schemed against us!"

"The three old foxes are enough to give us a hard time."

An Yuanshan was instinctively startled, but then he breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the sky outside the door.

It was empty, with nothing there.

The voices just now were extremely mysterious, as if they were ringing in their ears, yet also seemed to be coming from a distance.

The direction was unclear, and they couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.

However, in the next moment, An Shanyuan saw dozens of figures, all shrouded in black cloaks, standing silently in the hall.

It was as if they had been there all along.

The three ancestral elders of the An Family stood up and respectfully bowed.

An Yujun smiled and said, "Old friends, it's been many years. I hope you've been well."

"Heh, we were well, but now it's not so certain."

After a moment, An Shanyuan hurriedly left, leaving the three ancestral elders and the guests to discuss matters.

Meanwhile...

Also in the Tianlan Domain, in a mountain range hundreds of miles away from the An Family.

A battle had just taken place.

It caused quite a stir because both sides involved were of great origin.

One side was the powerful Yuchi Holy Land.

The other side was the renowned Lixue Immortal Dynasty.

As for the reason for the battle, it was quite simple.

Both sides sent their advance troops to seize territory in the Tianlan Domain.

After all, there were too many forces coming, and the Tianlan Domain was already overcrowded.

They had to come early to secure a good position.

Unexpectedly, the people from Yuchi Holy Land and Lixue Immortal Dynasty arrived almost at the same time and both set their sights on the same mountain peak.

This mountain peak not only had a unique scenery, but also provided a vantage point to overlook the Cangwu Mountain.

So neither side was willing to back down.

Both sides had great backgrounds, so they directly started fighting.

After a battle, many on both sides were injured, but fortunately, they exercised restraint and no one died.

After the ceasefire, both sides continued to confront each other.

Waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

This standoff lasted for several hours.

When Yuan Ruoyu arrived and heard about the situation, her face darkened and she said, "They started fighting without even saying a word!"

"What's the matter? Are the people from Lixue Immortal Dynasty all so domineering?"

On the side of the Lixue Immortal Dynasty, seeing that the other side's Saint Sovereign had arrived, their momentum suddenly diminished.

None of them dared to speak.

However, at this moment, nine dragon-like figures appeared in the sky, pulling an extremely luxurious imperial carriage.

Ye Qingge, dressed in a magnificent imperial robe, walked out with a cold expression, sweeping her gaze over Yuan Ruoyu.

Her cold voice was full of dominance, "Indeed, the people from my Lixue Immortal Dynasty have always been this domineering!"

"How will you handle this?"

Yuan Ruoyu, as a Saint Sovereign of the Holy Land, naturally wouldn't back down.

She turned her head, her gaze meeting Ye Qingge's...

For a moment, their eyes locked, and it felt as if sparks were flying in the air.

A clash of wills!

At this moment, even the air seemed to freeze in an instant.
