Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed - Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 – Dream Cultivation, Getting Stronger Just by Sleeping!

The Blood Spirit Sect was destroyed.

The entire sect ran red with blood, and none of its disciples survived.

No one would have thought that this former top sect of the southern province of Azure Region would be so easily annihilated.

The reason? Just one line from the Immortal Emperor’s diary.

Only now did certain forces start to realize the implications. With more of the Emperor’s diary being revealed in the future…

It would surely leave some people—and some sects—feeling deeply uneasy.

Top-tier powers like the Liyue Immortal Dynasty and the Jade Pool Holy Land gradually withdrew from the Blood Spirit Sect’s territory.

To them, this small sect held no real value.

But for Profound Azure Sect and other smaller sects, it was a different story. The resources left behind by the Blood Spirit Sect were of significant importance.

Whether it was the treasured cultivation manuals, alchemy books, pills, or spiritual herbs…

All were incredibly valuable assets.

After all, this was a sect that had ruled the southern province of Azure Region for tens of thousands of years, so it still had some hidden reserves, even if they weren’t immense.

The storage rings, fragmented artifacts, and other items left after the battle also held considerable worth.

Still, those sects that stayed to clear the battlefield knew better. They understood what they could take and what they shouldn’t, leaving the majority of the spoils for Profound Azure Sect without need for words.

After this battle, Profound Azure Sect would indeed become the top sect in Azure Region’s southern province!

Yan Changkong didn’t hold back.

He instructed the Great Elder to stay, assigning more personnel to ensure every resource from the Blood Spirit Sect was taken.

They sawed down palaces to transport them in sections.

Ancient spirit trees that could aid in cultivation were uprooted and transported back to the sect.

Even mystical stones and unusual mountains that could be moved were taken back.

They left absolutely nothing behind.

While the other sects felt a bit embarrassed, they weren’t too surprised.

In the cultivation world, resources are everything.

To survive, one must seize every opportunity to compete for resources by any means necessary.

Otherwise, what good is it to have a sect that’s merely old?

Don’t be fooled by the seemingly casual departure of the forces like Liyue Immortal Dynasty. They left because they didn’t see value in these resources; to them, it would only be a burden.

But if it had been a resource they wanted, they wouldn’t leave even a scrap!

After all, that’s what makes an immortal dynasty powerful.

Everything was fought for. They weren’t born this powerful.

When Yan Changkong and the others returned to the sect, it was practically empty inside.

Most of the disciples had been sent out to collect resources.

He estimated it would take at least ten days to half a month just to bring everything back.

There was simply too much.

Before long, Profound Azure Sect disciples began returning in a steady stream, bringing various resources.

Elders recorded the items, and then arranged them into storage in batches.

Yan Changkong was in high spirits, grinning from ear to ear!

Lately, things had been going incredibly well, with one success after another. However, he also knew that this was precisely the time to stay steady!

Progressing steadily was the most important thing.

“Ancestor Lin Feng was right; lying low and surviving is the true path to success!”

Yan Changkong murmured softly, before glancing at the Emperor’s diary entries he hadn’t finished reading that day.

On the projected screen, the diary entry remained visible.

Immortal Emperor’s Diary, Page 15:

[Haha, I heard that Yan Shan, that old thief, is practically going mad, like a crazed beast, looking for someone everywhere!]

[He can’t trace it back to me; it seems I’m safe.]

[However, I’d better hold off on opening Yan Yu’s storage ring for now, in case it gets tracked.]

[Lying low in the sect recently, I’ve even picked up some rudimentary alchemy.]

[And there’s one more thing, though I’m not sure if it’s good or bad—I’ve been feeling disoriented lately and can barely wake up from my sleep!]

[How strange.]

[In my dreams, I enter a kind of mystical state, to the point where sometimes I can’t tell reality from dreaming.]

[Is this an aftereffect of immortality, or my golden finger?]

When Yan Changkong finished reading, his pupils narrowed, and his face turned serious once more.

The content revealed in this diary entry was crucial!

He murmured under his breath, “Entering a mystical state while dreaming?”

“Aftereffects of immortality, or a golden finger?”

Yan Changkong instinctively felt that the information hidden in these few sentences was extremely important.

If he could decipher it, perhaps he could uncover the secret to the Immortal Emperor’s rapid rise.

The Immortal Emperor rose to power in just a mere six thousand years!

He became an unparalleled Emperor, his power unmatched through the ages. No one would believe it without some sort of heaven-defying opportunity.

One must understand that the elders of the Holy Lands were all extraordinarily talented and accomplished figures.

Yet, many of them had cultivated for tens of thousands of years and still remained in the Mahayana realm!

To become an Emperor in six thousand years was a miracle.

And now, was the journey behind this miracle finally being revealed, bit by bit?

Not just him—at this moment, the entire cultivation world felt an intense excitement.

Yan Changkong held his breath and swiftly looked at the last diary entry!

Immortal Emperor’s Diary, Page 16:

[I’ve opened up a cave dwelling not far from the sect.]

[It’s finally set up. This place should be safe with no one around.]

[I’ll sleep here for a long while.]

[Cultivating in dreams… it sounds surreal, but I tested it, and it truly works!]

[In that mystical state while dreaming, my cultivation advances at an astonishing pace… almost unbelievable.]

[My only concern is that once I enter a deep sleep, I’m not sure how long it will take to wake up.]

[It doesn’t matter—I’ve been feeling increasingly dazed, and I have to sleep.]

[Getting stronger while sleeping… it’s pretty good, actually.]

[Ruoyu, wait for me. When I wake up and my cultivation soars, I’ll come to the Central Region to find you!]

[Haha, I guarantee you’ll be utterly shocked.]

The diary entry ended there.

This revelation caused an uproar across the entire cultivation world.

Countless sects, ancient clans, and wandering cultivators were all buzzing, eagerly discussing today’s exposed diary content.

…

At the Jade Pool Holy Land, Yuan Ruoyu’s face was filled with astonishment. It took her a while to regain her composure as she murmured softly:

“So, he really wasn’t lying to me!”

“Every time he slept, he grew stronger, with each long slumber bringing a drastic leap in cultivation.”

“Is this the dream cultivation technique he spoke of?”

Yuan Ruoyu couldn’t help but recall the first time Lin Feng came to the Central Region to find her after they had separated.

Memories of those days flooded back…

Back then, she had been angry when she saw Lin Feng, blaming him for taking decades to come find her.

Lin Feng said he had simply taken a nap and awoken fifty years later.

How could she believe that?

She even teased him, saying he couldn’t even come up with a decent excuse.

Yet Lin Feng’s cultivation had indeed shocked her beyond measure.

When they parted ways at the Yunluo Mountains, Lin Feng was only in the Qi Refining stage, while she had already reached the Golden Core stage.

Over fifty years later, when they met again, Lin Feng’s cultivation had surpassed hers, reaching the late Nascent Soul stage—something utterly miraculous.

Yuan Ruoyu had initially worried he’d practiced some demonic technique to advance so rapidly.

After carefully inspecting him inside and out, she had to admit that Lin Feng hadn’t practiced any demonic arts.

Moreover, each of his cultivation stages was profoundly stable, far surpassing ordinary cultivators.

Lin Feng didn’t hide it from her. He said it was because, when he slept, he entered a mysterious state that allowed his cultivation to skyrocket.

He even used this as an excuse to frequently invite her to go down the mountain…to sleep and cultivate together, to see if he could bring Yuan Ruoyu into that state as well.

They kept trying, testing every trick and method… but Yuan Ruoyu simply couldn’t enter the state Lin Feng described.

All this time, she thought Lin Feng was just making it up to flirt with her.

But today’s diary entry made her realize that it might all have been true.

———

At the Liyue Immortal Dynasty.

In the royal chambers.

At this moment, Ye Qingge was far from her usual high and mighty, imposing self. She was holding a small leather doll in her hands, her charming face flushed red as she apologized: “I’m sorry!”

“I wrongly accused you. It turns out that the dream cultivation technique you mentioned is real!”

“I thought you were just trying to trick me!”

With a flirtatious gaze, the empress appeared enchanting as she whispered:

“It’s a pity I can’t learn it. You’ve put so much effort into it, and we’ve tried so many times, but it still didn’t work!”

“However!”

“Next time, I’ll definitely do as you instructed. You can… have it your way.”

As Ye Qingge spoke, she lightly bit her red lips, her face turning even redder.

She thought to herself that despite Lin Feng’s numerous attempts, she still hadn’t been able to master the dream cultivation technique.

Could it be because she was too strong-willed and sometimes uncooperative?

Yet, when she recalled those strange and exotic techniques… Ye Qingge’s heart raced, and she felt embarrassed.

However, thinking about Lin Feng’s dream cultivation technique—the ability to grow stronger while sleeping! Her eyes shone with determination, and she gritted her teeth:

“Then I’ll do everything as you say from now on! I refuse to believe I can’t learn it!”
