Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed - Chapter 56 - Chapter 56 – Dao-Slaying Elders, Big Fish Hooked

Central Region.

Almost every sect had noticed the strange atmosphere.

A great event was about to unfold!

The Liyue Immortal Dynasty and the Jiujue Sect were both preparing for battle, their movements frequent, clearly signaling that war was imminent!

Both sides were mobilizing their forces. Although large-scale battles hadn’t yet broken out, it felt like the calm before the storm.

Beneath this calm, a huge storm was brewing, ready to erupt.

This situation had greatly shocked the cultivation world of Central Region.

Although the two forces had clashed many times in the past, there hadn’t been a large-scale war in recent years.

After all, both sides were evenly matched, and if they went to war, it would be a catastrophic event for the entire cultivation world. The losses would be enormous, and rivers of blood would flow.

If it weren’t for a desperate situation, why would they suddenly go to war to the death?

Only a few top-tier forces, after returning from Cangwu Mountain, had a vague understanding of what was happening.

But under the current circumstances, these forces would not intervene in the war. Instead, they chose to restrict their disciples and stay behind closed doors.

They would observe the situation.

At this time, many were shocked to discover that the Jade Pool Holy Land, along with the Jiang family, the Zuo family, and other major factions, had also begun to mobilize, preparing for battle.

These were all powerful entities within the cultivation world. Now, they had all rolled up their sleeves and were ready to fight, undoubtedly pushing the storm toward even greater levels of terror.

The entire cultivation world was in a frenzy.

For a time, panic spread across the land!

If this decisive battle were to erupt, it wouldn’t just be a matter of heavy casualties. It could change the entire landscape of the world!

The entire cultivation world of Central Region would be impacted, leading to a complete reshuffling.

Above Central Region, the sky seemed to be covered by dark clouds…

…

Liyue Immortal Dynasty.

Immortal Hall.

Inside the grand hall, the number of people had increased several times, with high-ranking officials from across the dynasty returning.

Everyone’s expression was solemn, their eyes filled with battle intent.

An invisible pressure erupted, rising into the sky, forming a terrifying wave that could topple mountains.

Ye Qingge, standing from her imperial seat, exuded an air of authority.

She swept her gaze across the room, her expression cold, her eyes flashing with sharpness. Her voice rang out calmly:

“I have said it before—I shall lead the Immortal Dynasty to eradicate all evil, to carve out a path to immortality through blood and flame!”

“Anyone who dares stand in our way—shall be killed without mercy!”

The cold voice echoed in the hall, lingering for a long time.

Ye Qingge paused for a moment before continuing: “The Jiujue Sect is merely the first stepping stone on this path, and it will certainly not be the last!”

At her words, all the ministers knelt in unison, shouting in reverence, “All hail Her Majesty!”

Immediately afterward—Ye Qingge issued decree after decree, laying out the final battle strategy.

The ministers took their orders one by one.

The meaning of the decree was clear: they would use the full power of the Immortal Dynasty to fight a decisive battle and annihilate any enemies, including the Jiujue Sect.

…

Jiang Family Estate.

At this moment, the family’s disciples who had been out in the world returned as quickly as possible, having received the clan orders.

All the family forces were mobilized!

The momentum was immense.

The commotion was much larger than what had occurred with the Ning Province An family.

At this moment, everyone realized that while the Jiang family had always kept a low profile, when they finally showed their fangs, they were incredibly powerful.

In a cave hidden deep within the estate.

Jiang Wujie stood at the head, his face youthful but his hair silver and flowing, adding a sense of mystery to his appearance.

Inside the cave, a dozen figures cloaked in dark hoods stood, all exuding powerful auras.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Lei Jue of the Jiujue Sect stepped forward, his voice low and serious: “The surprise attack on the Liyue Immortal Dynasty is no longer feasible!”

“If we go into open war, the Jiujue Sect won’t be able to hold out for long!”

At his words, the others shifted slightly, but none spoke up.

After a brief pause, Jiang Wujie gave a calm smile and said: “With our full support, how could we fear the Liyue Immortal Dynasty?”

“I’ve gathered you here today to deliver good news.”

Jiang Wujie scanned the room, and after seeing the expectant looks from everyone, he continued:

“Last time, that Ye Xi designed a strategy to severely injure the Heaven Punishment Venerable!”

Lei Jue’s heart stirred as he asked, “Could it be that the Heaven Punishment Venerable is going to take action?”

Jiang Wuji nodded, smiling. “The Venerable is furious. He’s sending the Eight Dao-Slaying Elders to aid us. With their help, victory is as good as guaranteed. What’s there to fear?”

As his words fell, strange fluctuations spread throughout the surroundings.

The people present were startled and looked toward the source. Above the cave, several figures were standing in the void, seemingly hidden in space itself.

Their faces were obscured behind blank masks, and from within their bodies surged a terrifying aura—oppressively powerful and bone-chilling.

Lei Jue’s pupils constricted sharply as he silently counted them.

The Eight Dao-Slaying Elders!

Anyone who bore the title of “Dao-Slayer” had to be an emperor-level powerhouse. His heart surged with wild joy, and his entire body trembled with excitement.

Jiang Wuji hadn’t been exaggerating. If eight emperor-tier experts joined the fray, their victory was practically set in stone.

However!

The Dao-Slayers were the most concealed power, a force that should never be exposed lightly.

And now, the Heaven Punishment Venerable had sent out eight of them at once!

This meant that the higher-ups couldn’t wait any longer and were willing to pay any price to rid themselves of the lingering threat of the Immortal Emperor.

Once the people present realized this, their confidence surged!

Battle intent soared!

They had initially expected a brutal struggle, one in which even if they won, the cost would be tremendous.

But now, with the Eight Dao-Slaying Elders involved, the outcome seemed all but certain.

Jiang Wujie, seeing everyone’s reaction, spoke again with a calm yet fervent voice: “The Liyue Immortal Dynasty is just the first strike!”

“The next blow will fall on the Jade Pool, Primordial Holy Land, the Pei family…”

He paused for a moment, and his voice became incredibly passionate: “After this round of cleansing, the entire cultivation world—we’ll have no rivals left!”

“That’s right!”

“By then, all the resources will be ours!”

“We will become the strongest family beneath the heavens, with a legacy lasting through the ages!”

Lei Jue and the others were also infected by his ambition, their excitement reaching new heights.

After a brief moment, Jiang Wujie waved his hand and said, “That’s enough for today. Go back and make your final preparations!”

“Tomorrow is the day the Immortal Emperor’s diary will be released. Once we read it, the full-scale war will begin!”

“I’m looking forward to seeing what tricks he can pull this time!”

Jiang Wujie clenched his hand tightly, exuding a tremendous aura: “Remember, the advantage is ours, everything is under control!”

At this, the figures cloaked in robes nodded repeatedly.

They praised Jiang Wujie endlessly.

With the Eight Dao-Slaying Elders on their side, the advantage was indeed overwhelming!

On the other side.

On a hillside in the Central Region, Ye Xi was completely focused on… grilling meat.

A large piece of demon beast meat sizzled and oozed oil under the intense heat.

It crackled and popped.

Ye Xi listened with rapt attention, excitedly saying, “Did you hear that? This sound—tsk, tsk, it’s so delightful!”

Hua Hongyi, standing nearby, watched silently.

Her previously unwavering resolve had recently begun to waver.

She thought to herself: Can this really lead to a monumental achievement?

Since joining Ye Xi, her days had been worry-free and leisurely.

Every day, aside from cultivating, they wandered around, appreciating the mountains, rivers, and sunsets.

There were also endless delicious foods, all prepared in ways she had never seen before.

Hua Hongyi felt that if this continued, her initial ambitions would be eroded.

She was starting to crave comfort…

She swallowed nervously but couldn’t help asking, “Are we really not going to do anything?”

Ye Xi chuckled and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. A streak of light rapidly approached from the distance and landed in his hand.

Hua Hongyi’s eyes narrowed, recognizing it as a talisman.

She softly asked, “A communication talisman?”

The talisman burned in Ye Xi’s hand, quickly disintegrating. He didn’t answer her question but said, “The big fish is on the hook, get ready to act!”

Hua Hongyi’s expression became serious, and she asked excitedly, “What should we do?”

“Don’t rush. Let’s finish the grilled meat first!”

“…”

Soon, night fell, and the world was plunged into darkness.

Several hours later, the sun rose, and the day brightened once again.

In this ever-changing and unpredictable situation, a single day quietly passed.

It was time once again for the Immortal Emperor’s diary to be released.

The communication arrays of the Tianji Pavilion, which spanned the nine regions, lit up with flickering lights.
