Longevity: After Six Thousand Years, The Diary Was Exposed - Chapter 71 - Chapter 71 – I, Lin Ye, Second-in-Command of the Jiang Family!

The transmission array at the Tianji Pavilion continued to broadcast the diary entries.

This particular entry drew an extraordinary amount of attention. The entire cultivation world hoped to glean more clues about Blue Star from it.

Many believed that Blue Star was very likely the location of the Immortal Abode Ruins.

“I really hope the Emperor can reveal a little more information…”

“Yeah, otherwise, where are we even supposed to start looking? The Nine Regions and Ten Lands are vast!”

“Azure Region seems the most likely, but we can’t be sure.”

“The Immortal Abode Ruins—legend says inside it’s like a miniature Heavenly Realm, where one can attain eternal life.”

“It’s here, it’s here!”

On the projection screen of the transmission array, a brand-new diary entry appeared.

Immortal Emperor’s Diary, Page 36:

[Ruoyu has been in seclusion for over five years and still hasn’t come out. Is breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage really that hard?]

[It’s been a while since I left Liuyun City.]

[I’ve been traveling across Central Region. I have to say, this place is massive. Many places are uniquely beautiful—truly breathtaking.]

[Unfortunately, Central Region is full of sects and cultivation clans. Many areas are locked down and off-limits.]

[I have two goals for this journey:]

[First, the urge to go into deep sleep is becoming stronger again. I need to find a safe place.]

[It has to be safe enough. When I’m in slumber, it’s when I’m at my most vulnerable. If someone finds me, it could be very dangerous.]

[Second… I want to uncover the truth of this world. The secret of Mount Cangwu—I’ve never forgotten it.]

[Heaven helps those who help themselves!]

[A random incident led me to discover some clues.]

[There’s a very tight connection between the ancient cultivation clan Jiang family and the An family of Ning Region. There must be some hidden dealings between them. This discovery pleased me—it might just be the breakthrough I need!]

[But the Jiang family is an ancient clan, heavily guarded and full of powerful cultivators. Infiltrating them is no easy task…]

[After careful thought, I decided to change my identity and blend in openly.]

[A great clan can’t operate solely on its own bloodline.]

[The Jiang family is no exception. As a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, it was easy enough to blend in as a servant or guest steward.]

[Besides, my identity and background were flawless.]

[I randomly picked a new name—Lin Ye—and passed their vetting process, successfully entering the Jiang family as a guest steward.]

[My status wasn’t high, but it allowed me to enter and exit the Jiang household openly, aside from a few forbidden areas.]

[At first, I was a bit worried.]

[There were so many powerful cultivators in the clan, it was hard to sneak into the forbidden zones undetected.]

[But after some time, I realized something!]

[The Jiang family’s patriarch, Jiang Wujie, is an idiot! The man’s ambitions far exceed his abilities. He loves to talk about controlling everything, but in reality, he controls nothing!]

[His fatal flaw? He loves being flattered.]

[Although Jiang Wujie has incredible cultivation talent, he’s utterly stupid when it comes to managing the clan.]

[That gave me great hope and confidence—all I needed was the right opportunity…]

[Eventually, after my careful scheming and relentless flattery, I started to leave a strong impression on him.]

[Six months later—Jiang Wujie suddenly summoned me to his side as his personal disciple.]

[As the patriarch’s disciple, my status skyrocketed. I could now access all kinds of internal opportunities. While some areas were still off-limits, earning full trust was only a matter of time.]

[Jie jie jie…]

The diary entry ended there.

Though not very long, the information it revealed sent shockwaves through the cultivation world.

The whole realm was once again thrown into a frenzy of discussion.

“No way… The Jiang family really has a hidden agenda?”

“I said it back when the An family was taken down—there’s no way the Jiang family is clean. Told you so! Hmph, I saw right through them!”

“Looks like their recent alliance with the major powers to strike at the Liyue Immortal Dynasty wasn’t so simple after all.”

“Wait, hold on… the Immortal Emperor actually infiltrated the Jiang family?”

“Lin Ye? I remember that name! He was one of Jiang Wujie’s closest aides—second-in-command of the Jiang family! He’s the one who founded the Jiang family’s Night Guards!”

“He was deeply trusted by Jiang Wujie, practically the Jiang family’s second-in-command!”

“Hahaha! Lin Ye was actually the Immortal Emperor in disguise? That’s mind-blowing!”

“I’ve heard of Jiang Wujie—he really does go around boasting about controlling everything.”

“Overly ambitious, utterly incompetent… hahaha, I’d pay to see Jiang Wujie’s face right now.”

The entire cultivation world was in an uproar.

The leaders of the major powers couldn’t help but turn their eyes toward Central Region, in the direction of the Jiang Family’s territory.

Jade Pool Holy Land.

Yuan Ruoyu, barefoot on the lotus platform, chuckled softly, “Heh heh, so much happened while I was in seclusion back then?”

“Sneaking into the Jiang family as an undercover agent? Only you would think of something like that!”

Lin Feng had never told her about any of this.

Mainly because at that time, even he didn’t fully know how strong the opposing forces were—knowing too much wouldn’t do any good.

Yuan Ruoyu’s expression turned cold again, her eyes flashing with killing intent as she looked toward the Jiang Family.

Elsewhere, within a great hall in the Holy Land…

The gathered elders exchanged glances. When they thought of Jiang Wujie, their eyes showed a bit of pity.

Suddenly, the Ninth Elder, Qi He, seemed to recall something and said in a low voice: “Do you all think… the Immortal Emperor might’ve infiltrated our Holy Land too?”

“After all, the Holy Lord has always sided with him!”

The Ninth Elder hesitated for a moment, then continued: “With the Holy Lord providing inside assistance, wouldn’t it have been easy for him to sneak in and swipe a few things?”

“Do you remember that time over five thousand years ago, when our Holy Land suffered a string of thefts? So many spiritual treasures vanished from the herbal gardens!”

“No matter how we investigated, we couldn’t figure out who was responsible!”

“Uh—”

As soon as he said that, the elders present began to recall those incidents. Their expressions turned strange.

The Grand Elder Wei Yuan’s face also shifted in color.

“Well… it’s possible. But we can’t be sure. There’s no proof—so let’s never bring this up again.”

“Indeed. Who is the Immortal Emperor? Would he really stoop to such petty thievery?”

“Impossible. I don’t believe it!”

“Ninth Elder, watch your words! Don’t mention this again!”

“Ahem. Old Green is still maintaining the defensive formation. You’re not thinking of going to ‘help,’ are you?”

At this point, Grand Elder Wei Yuan added solemnly, “Baseless slander is unacceptable!”

Only then did Ninth Elder Qi He snap out of it. He realized he’d almost made a huge mistake and quickly said: “That was my error. I’ll reflect deeply on this!”

——

Liyue Immortal Dynasty.

Ye Qingge finished reading the diary, laughing so hard her whole body trembled like a blossoming flower, waves surging.

Unfortunately, no one could appreciate the scene.

Only Qingdai was present beside her—but such waves were probably nothing new to her.

Ye Qingge laughed for a while, then said: “As expected of you… You really can pull off anything!”

“Jiang Wujie is probably about to die of anger right now!”

“Giggle…”

Qingdai also laughed, but a strange glint passed through her eyes. She was growing more and more curious about this so-called “benefactor” of hers.

——

Jiang Family territory!

In a cave heaven saturated with spiritual energy…

Jiang Wujie’s face was ashen, his chest heaving violently, and veins bulged on his forehead.

He stared fixedly at the diary projected on the screen.

“Overambitious but incompetent!”
“Utterly foolish!”
“Always blabbing about controlling everything, obsessed with flattery!”

These few comments from Lin Feng were like daggers stabbing deep into his heart.

And twisting the whole way…

Now the entire world knew, leaving the Jiang Family’s ancestor completely humiliated and without a shred of dignity.

“Immortal Emperor!!”

Jiang Wujie erupted like a raging beast, roaring, “I will never coexist with you! I swear I’ll tear you to pieces!”

What enraged him the most was another realization—Lin Feng was actually Lin Ye.

That loyal follower of his… the one who had supposedly died for the Jiang Family. They never even recovered a body.

Now it was clear: everything had been planned by Lin Feng from the start.

A moment later.

Jiang Wujie began circulating his qi to calm himself—but then another terrifying thought struck him.

Lin Ye was the Immortal Emperor!

“No… all the Jiang Family’s secrets—doesn’t that mean he knows everything now?!”

Jiang Wujie’s expression changed drastically, his body even trembling slightly!

If his cultivation weren’t so high, he might’ve vomited blood on the spot. Just the thought of their secrets being exposed filled him with panic.
