Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed - Chapter 31 - Chapter 31 – Three Women Gather, This Is How You Eat Barbecue!

In an ancient and silent mountain range…

Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge, the leaders of the two major powers in the current cultivation world, locked eyes, their auras clashing!

In an instant!

Both of them erupted with an overwhelming presence, an invisible momentum soaring into the sky!

The pressure rose steadily…

At that moment, it felt as if the air had solidified.

An invisible, colorless aura erupted, sweeping through like a torrent, stirring up a storm among the mountains.

The collision of their auras made it difficult to determine a victor, as both were at the pinnacle of the Mahayana stage.

Yuan Ruoyu felt a chill in her heart, and her expression grew serious.

It was said that Her Majesty, the Empress of the Liyue Immortal Dynasty, possessed exceptional talent and unmatched brilliance; seeing her today, the rumors were indeed not unfounded.

Ye Qingge was equally astonished, silently thinking, The current Holy Lord of the Jade Pool Holy Land is indeed remarkable!

For a moment, both felt as if they were on the back of a tiger, unable to retreat.

As the two leaders clashed, the people from the Jade Pool Holy Land and the Liyue Immortal Dynasty behind them wore serious expressions, prepared for battle at any moment.

A chilling atmosphere enveloped the area.

The bright sky appeared dimmer, instilling a sense of oppression.

If a major battle erupted, it would not be a trivial matter.

At this moment, nearly every location in the nearby mountains had been occupied by various sects. Some loose cultivators also hid among the hills.

All these individuals were eagerly observing the situation, inching closer.

“This is going to be a good show!”

“I wonder who is stronger, the Jade Pool Holy Land or the Liyue Immortal Dynasty?”

“If a fight breaks out, it will turn the world upside down!”

“Let’s move further back to avoid getting caught in the crossfire…”

“Ha ha, it’s been a long time since the cultivation world has seen such a spectacle! Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge are both legendary figures known throughout the world!”

However, a deafening sound suddenly erupted.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled!

From the very mountain peak they were fighting over, a thunderous roar resounded.

The earth trembled and the mountains shook!

The faces of both opposing forces changed, and those with slightly lower cultivation levels staggered, their bodies swaying.

Ye Qingge and Yuan Ruoyu turned to look at the source of the sound.

At that moment, a section of the mountain peak exploded.

A terrifying aura erupted from within, and a pressure so overwhelming poured down like the starry sea in reverse.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

“Emperor’s aura!”

“This aura is that of an Emperor!”

“Only a powerful being at the Tribulation stage can emit such astonishing pressure!”

“But why would an Emperor be here? Could it also be related to the secrets of Cangwu Mountain?”

“Surely it is; I didn’t expect even an Emperor to be stirred this time.”

“However, which Emperor has descended?”

Countless gazes focused on the vast mountain range, and this sudden turn of events shocked everyone.

After the initial astonishment, the faces of some sect leaders from powerful sects gradually darkened.

With an Emperor personally arriving, it seemed the competition would be incredibly difficult.

Ye Qingge’s gaze turned increasingly cold as a large group of guards stepped forward, with Gongsun Mu and several officials protecting her in the center.

“Your Majesty, be careful!”

Gongsun Mu warned gravely, setting up formations and adopting a defensive posture.

On the other side, Yuan Ruoyu’s expression was also tense. The elders beside her were on high alert, secretly preparing to spare no effort if needed.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Yuan Ruoyu quickly regained her composure and calmly waved her hand. “No need to panic!”

Her composed tone helped ease the tension among the crowd.

Just then, a crack opened in the exploded mountain peak, and rolling black mist surged out.

A silhouette enshrouded in the black mist streaked forward like a phantom.

The sky was obscured by the dense black fog, and the hazy figure stood in the void.

Through the mist, a pair of pale purple eyes coldly surveyed the mountains below.

Among the mountains, everyone involuntarily held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

This was the Emperor who previously protected the Profound Azure Sect.

At any time, one must show sufficient respect.

Eventually, those pale purple eyes fell upon the members of the Jade Pool Holy Land and the Liyue Immortal Dynasty.

A cold voice echoed from the mist: “This mountain already has an owner. All of you, get lost!”

As the words fell!

Both sides of the standoff let out a sigh of relief.

Although both sides were powerful, if an Emperor were to take action against them, today would surely result in a river of blood.

They hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the opportunities of Cangwu Mountain before dying here. No one wanted that.

Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge found a way to step down from the confrontation, exchanging glances and both snorting coldly.

“Hmph!”

Deep down, they were still unconvinced!

Ye Qingge turned and walked back to the luxurious imperial carriage, instructing, “Since an Emperor arrived first, let us change locations!”

Yuan Ruoyu also led the disciples of the Jade Pool Holy Land away.

Moments later, both sides set up camp in the mountains, with some disciples chopping down large logs to pitch tents.

Ye Qingge’s imperial carriage was itself a powerful artifact, with an interior space resembling a palace. She decided to stay inside but needed to arrange for her guards.

In the distance, a young man in white sat under an ancient tree on the mountaintop.

With a face like jade and an extraordinary demeanor, he was sitting on a large stone, roasting a big piece of meat.

Ye Xi saw that Yuan Ruoyu and Ye Qingge had both retreated.

“Phew…”

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, taking a heavy breath of relief, thinking how lucky it was that a fight hadn’t broken out.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to eat the meat.

However, recalling the earlier scene, Ye Xi couldn’t help but smile wryly. “To almost get into a fight right upon arrival—what a coincidence!”

Sizzle—

Just then, he heard the sound of the meat burning, snapping him back to reality as he hurriedly picked it up.

“Phew, that was close. Almost burned it.”

Ye Xi had a peculiar way of eating. He first took out a wooden board, placing the large piece of roasted meat on it.

Then, he sprinkled some salt and a dark seasoning over it.

Next, he pulled out a dagger and a fork, cutting the roasted meat into chunks and using the fork to bring the meat to his mouth.

This scene!

Nearby, a few girls who had been secretly observing were greatly intrigued.

Originally drawn to Ye Xi because of his handsome looks and extraordinary demeanor, they had been secretly watching him.

“Is this how you eat roasted meat?”

“Actually, it’s a whole different experience to eat it this way!”

“It smells so good; it looks delicious!”

“I’ve never seen anyone eat like this before; I want to try too…”

The girls’ eyes sparkled as they watched Ye Xi savoring the cut-up roasted meat, their hearts racing.

One girl, slender and beautiful, finally couldn’t hold back. She mustered her courage and stepped forward.

Dressed in a pale yellow long dress, she revealed a hint of cleavage, hesitating for a moment before subtly lowering her neckline.

Her heart raced…

Qiao Xi blushed as she approached, realizing how incredibly handsome the young man was!

However, as she got closer, she noticed that the roasted meat was still oozing a faint red blood.

The meat was clearly not fully cooked.

Qiao Xi frowned and couldn’t help but softly say, “Young master, this meat isn’t cooked yet; there’s still blood in it. Be careful not to upset your stomach.”

Ye Xi looked up and explained, “That’s not blood; it’s called myoglobin, a type of…very valuable essence from a demon beast.”

“Really?”

Qiao Xi looked at him with admiration, her heart racing. Not only was he handsome, but he was also quite talented!

Myoglobin?

Coming from a distinguished background, she had never heard such a term before; it sounded profound and impressive.

Ye Xi smiled and nodded, inviting her to sit down and eat together.

Qiao Xi blushed, her fingers fidgeting as she quietly sat beside him, unsure of where to place her hands.

“May I ask for your name, young lady?”

As Ye Xi spoke, he took out a set of daggers and forks as utensils and handed them to her, along with a piece of roasted meat.

Qiao Xi was taken aback.

She received the utensils and mimicked him, using the dagger to gently cut the roasted meat into small pieces and bringing them to her mouth.

“My name is Qiao Xi, from the Qiao family in Yanzhou.”

After introducing herself, Qiao Xi asked lightly, “And you?”

As they chatted, the atmosphere gradually warmed up; after all, there were plenty of topics for young men and women to discuss.

Ye Xi’s expression became serious as he looked up proudly and declared, “Nicholas Ye Xi!”

“What?”

Qiao Xi’s eyes widened as she blurted out.

Then, with a slightly disgruntled smile, she said, “What a unique surname; I’ve never heard of it before.”

Ye Xi replied proudly, “Isn’t it? It’s one of a kind!”

It was clear he was very satisfied with his surname.

He felt proud!

Qiao Xi smiled again, unsure how to respond, and quickly changed the subject.

During their subsequent conversations, she discovered that Ye Xi was indeed a peculiar person.

No matter the topic, he could always come up with strange words and viewpoints that she had never encountered.

It felt a bit out of place, and Qiao Xi thought to herself, Isn’t this a bit like those diary entries?

Her curiosity only grew stronger…

He was a mysterious, charming young man, and she liked it.

And so, two more days passed.

The number of forces gathering in the Tianlan Province increased, becoming crowded everywhere.

Within thousands of miles of Cangwu Mountain, various cultivators filled the area.

The reason they hadn’t rushed directly to Cangwu Mountain was mainly because it was the territory of the An family, which had a great formation for protection.

Everyone hoped that the An family would take the initiative to open Cangwu Mountain and lift the restrictions and seals inside.

This would prevent unnecessary casualties.

Everyone naturally assumed that, under these circumstances, the An family wouldn’t dare to oppose the cultivators of the world!

Finally.

On this day, the An family took action. The clan leader, An Shanyuan, arrived in the mountains under the protection of the family guards.

Various forces, having caught wind of the news, sent representatives to gather together.

They wanted to know how the An family would choose…

On a vast plain, representatives from all sides surrounded the An family members tightly.

An Shanyuan stood tall and straight, surveying the crowd before solemnly saying:

“Everyone who has traveled from afar, I understand your feelings!”

“However, Cangwu Mountain is the resting place of my ancestors from the An family throughout the generations, and it’s not suitable for everyone to enter. I apologize!”
