Chapter 503 The Emperor Takes Action, Yesterday Reappears
Even during the years Chu Lengyu was away, with tight surveillance all around, the emperor did not completely stop studying this "Cultivation Diary".
Besides synchronizing Chu Lengyu's information and saving lives in critical moments, the emperor gradually discovered another special function of it, which he privately called "Yesterday Reappearance".
In addition to text, this booklet also contains pictures and videos.
The emperor was particularly curious about those moving images, and that's how he accidentally discovered that the images could be turned on and made the images reappear!
He was no stranger to this; during the Taishan sacrificial ceremony, a scene resembling ancient mythology appeared in the sky.
Therefore, the emperor deduced that these images were also offensive.
However, the diaries that Chu Lengyu could record in the form of images often had extremely strong offensive power. The emperor was worried that the impact would be too great, so he had not tried to do so publicly so far.
But now, he thought, he needed to use Yesterday Once More.
The nine bronze tripods have been delivered by Danzhu to their respective locations.
The demons at the Nascent Soul stage and above were isolated by the gale and unable to enter the Great Xia world. Naturally, the remaining few demons could not detect the actions of this fairy in the book.
Everything is proceeding at a rapid pace.
Until the emperor opened the "Cultivation Diary" every morning as usual, the black text appeared one by one.
"Although there were many twists and turns, we have overcome the tribulation."
"I have now entered my cave to recuperate in preparation for the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation."
"The matter of merging the Nine Cauldrons can only be entrusted to those who are destined to be so."
Take good care of yourself.
The emperor sighed, thinking: This thin veil has been pierced.
He had long suspected that Chu Lengyu might have discovered the existence of this booklet, and Chu Lengyu also knew that he might have guessed this, so the two had maintained a subtle tacit understanding.
If the parasites hadn't suddenly appeared, perhaps this tacit understanding would have continued indefinitely.
He is the emperor, she is the imperial advisor, together they will lead the Great Xia Dynasty to a brighter future.
But... it's not so bad now, he thought, trying to find some humor in his predicament.
The emperor believed she would succeed.
But now, it's up to him to take on the responsibility and put in the effort.
Danzhu had already received the message from Chu Lengyu, and with a strange look on his face, he found the emperor and looked him over several times.
No matter how you look at it, this person was just a complete mortal, an ordinary secular emperor.
Chu Lengyu actually asked her to assist him in facilitating the integration of the Nine Cauldrons and the Great Xia World?
However, Danzhu was not fond of using his brain and was a person who was used to following orders. So he immediately found the emperor as Chu Lengyu had told him, and took the initiative to show himself and communicate with him in a polite manner.
Discovering that the emperor was not only neither servile nor arrogant, but could also keep up with her, she slightly diminished her contempt.
Then Danzhu got straight to the point and talked about the important part: "The fusion of the Nine Cauldrons is divided into three steps. The first step is for me to activate the Big Dipper Devouring Array to devour the evil energy and filth caused by the rupture of the earth veins. In the current situation, the parasitic race will not care about this."
Their attention was completely drawn to the opening of the secret realm, leaving them no time to look at anything else.
She deliberately slowed her speech and said, "Secondly, you will be in charge of communicating with the remaining earth veins and presiding over the fusion of the Nine Cauldrons. This process will cause a great disturbance and will definitely attract the obstruction of the remaining parasitic race."
The emperor nodded slightly, a thoughtful look on his face. He seemed a little nervous, but not too nervous, which made Danzhu even more curious about what trump cards he had that enabled him to shoulder this important task.
Tang Qingying's message made Danzhu realize that Chu Lengyu was not so simple, and they needed to plan ahead and be prepared to evacuate at any time, or even cut their losses to survive.
Therefore, since Chu Lengyu had entrusted the difficult task of managing the Nine Cauldrons to this mortal, Danzhu was happy to remain on the sidelines.
"And the third step?" the emperor pressed.
"The third step is to wait for Chu Lengyu to successfully transcend the tribulation." Danzhu's expression became more solemn. "This set of Nine Cauldrons is of extremely high grade; perhaps only a ninth-grade set can perfectly unleash its power."
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that he was only asked to buy time, not that the entire task of merging the Nine Cauldrons was placed on his shoulders. In the end, Chu Lengyu would take over.
This matter has kept him up at night for so many days. Could it be that Chu Lengyu deliberately didn't write it clearly in her diary?
The emperor shook his head inwardly and suppressed the idea.
You can doubt anyone, but how can I doubt the Imperial Advisor!
……
The land of Kyushu is vast and boundless.
This place boasts magnificent mountains and rivers, abundant resources, and has been home to numerous people who have thrived and developed diverse cultural traditions.
However, since the arrival of the demon race, the entire Great Xia world has been shrouded in gloom, cities have fallen one after another, and countless people have suffered terribly.
Now, demonic energy permeates the air, obscuring the sky and the sun. Wherever it goes, it brings devastation, cracks the earth, and leaves everything in a deathly silence.
The Emperor of Great Xia wore a worried expression. Before him lay a huge map of the Nine Provinces, marked with the direction of the earth's veins and important nodes.
His gaze swept across the map, lingering on each of the golden cauldron-shaped patterns—the Nine Cauldrons.
The Nine Cauldrons are the most precious treasures of the human race. Legend has it that in ancient times, the ancestors of the human race used their supreme supernatural powers to collect the spiritual energy of the land of the nine provinces and forge them.
They represent the nine main veins of the Kyushu land, containing the purest spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
If it can be integrated and connected with the earth veins of the Nine Provinces, it can gather the power of heaven and earth to form a powerful barrier to resist the invasion of the demon race and promote the Great Xia world to a higher level.
However, merging with the earth's veins is an unprecedented feat, and the slightest mistake could trigger chaos in the world.
But now, facing the threat of world destruction, he understands that this is his only hope; he must either succeed or die trying.
"Activate the Big Dipper Devouring Formation," the emperor said calmly.
Danzhu had no objection. The array plate in her hand lit up, and then she forced out her essence blood and flicked the blood beads into the array plate to accelerate it.
The earth's energy surged violently, and seven ravines cracked open in the wasteland, shimmering with a ghostly blue light, like the reflection of stars.
These runes formed a massive array, the Big Dipper Devouring Array.
The Big Dipper Devouring Array is an ancient formation capable of devouring the malevolent energy between heaven and earth, creating conditions for the Nine Cauldrons to merge with the earth's veins.
The malevolent energy is extremely corrosive; it interferes with the fusion of the Nine Cauldrons and the earth's veins, so it must be eliminated.
After the formation was activated, the sky changed, dark clouds gathered, and black evil energy converged from all directions. They were like black dragons, rolling and roaring in the sky and on the ground.
However, when these malevolent energies came into contact with the Big Dipper Devouring Array, they were instantly swallowed up, transforming into crystals of malevolent energy.
Danzhu circulated his spiritual power to assist the operation of the formation, a focused expression on his face.
The emperor also knew that this step was crucial; if the formation failed, the plan to integrate the Nine Cauldrons with the earth's veins would fall through.
Fortunately, the demons did not seem to be aware of the human race's plan. They continued to surround the fake Qingyang Secret Palace, eagerly awaiting the official opening of the secret realm. Even if the process took a year, they would not doubt it.
Perhaps there were too many chains of demonic energy nearby, which confused the fluctuations of the malevolent energy, or perhaps the demons believed that the Great Xia world was already doomed, so they did not pay attention to the slight changes.
In short, they did not prevent the activation of the Big Dipper Devouring Array, which bought precious time for the Great Xia Dynasty.
As time went by, the malevolent energy in the sky diminished, while the light of the Big Dipper Devouring Array grew brighter.
Finally, after the last wisp of malevolent energy was swallowed up, the light of the formation instantly receded, and the entire Nine Provinces became clear and bright, as if it had been cleansed, and even the air became much fresher.
Danzhu turned his gaze to the emperor, ready to see how he planned to act. How could a mortal communicate with the Nine Tripods?
"Nine Cauldrons merge with the earth's veins, begin!" The emperor's voice rang out again, this time filled with unwavering determination.
As soon as the emperor gave the order, the nine tripods buried at various points began to rotate slowly, and the golden light they emitted grew brighter and brighter, as if to illuminate the entire world.
The remaining earth veins were injected into the Nine Cauldrons, helping them connect with the earth veins of the Nine Provinces.
Danzhu stared intently at the emperor, only to discover that he truly possessed no spiritual power.
That's impossible. How could he control the earth's veins without spiritual power?
Even she, the fairy in the book, couldn't see through it.
The emperor kept a straight face, trying his best not to show any extra expression.
He could trust Chu Lengyu without reservation, but he could not trust Danzhu in the same way.
Danzhu watched his movements closely, and he remained vigilant.
He had a copy of "Cultivation Diary" hidden in his sleeve, which only he could see. The key pages were marked, and the part he was opening now was the one from the day he led his civil and military officials to the top of Mount Tai.
He wasn't manipulating the earth's veins; he was making history repeat itself. (Note)
The once intact ley lines clashed with the now fragmented ones, but the Nine Cauldrons remained undamaged. He didn't need to do anything; he only needed to provide a catalyst.
Suddenly, the earth began to tremble, as if something was awakening deep underground.
The earth veins throughout Kyushu began to surge, emitting a faint light, like ribbons of light converging towards the Nine Cauldrons, illuminating the entire underground world.
These ley lines converged to form a massive pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
The pillars of light contained boundless spiritual energy, which merged with the power of the Nine Cauldrons to form a powerful energy field.
This energy field continued to spread, covering the entire Great Xia world.
Under its influence, the earth began to recover, the cracked land became fertile again, the withered vegetation regained its vitality, and even the cities destroyed by the demons began to be gradually repaired.
Danzhu stared in astonishment at all these changes, unable to discern whether it was an illusion or reality.
However, at this moment, the demons finally noticed the abnormality.
They saw the enormous pillar of light above the Nine Provinces and felt the revival of spiritual energy. They realized that the human race was doing something extremely detrimental to them!
"Stop them!" Si Que roared.
Above the gale layer, the demon army began to change direction, and the pitch-black demonic energy spread again, blotting out the sky and sun, as if it wanted to devour the entire Great Xia.
The survivors of the Great Xia Dynasty sensed the threat from the demons, and their faces showed tension.
Only the emperor remained calm. He knew that the fusion of the Nine Cauldrons with the earth's veins had reached its most critical moment and must not be interrupted by the demons.
Above the dome, demonic clouds surged, and Si Que's robes fluttered in the gale, the demonic energy surrounding him turning half the sky black.
She angrily drew back the bowstring, determined not to allow any further complications to arise before the Great Xia world was dragged into the Demon Realm.
"A dying struggle." She sneered and released her grip.
The moment the bowstring trembled, the arrow, imbued with the power of death, shot through the air, heading straight for the location of the Jizhou Cauldron.
The Jizhou Ding is emitting golden light from the earth's veins, and thousands of golden seals soar into the air, weaving together into a net, resonating with every mountain and river vein.
Because it is the pillar of the soul-suppressing system, the surrounding earth vein energy is the most concentrated and conspicuous.
She was confident that she could deliver a fatal blow and disrupt the enemy's plans.
In the blink of an eye, the black arrow was close to the Jizhou Cauldron.
The emperor was already on guard against her, and promptly turned the page.
An identical arrow appeared out of nowhere and blocked the small, black arrow, colliding with it and sparking sharp flames, before both were destroyed.
Si Que couldn't believe it, thinking he was seeing things.
The beam of light collided with the demonic energy, producing a deafening roar.
The power emanating from the Nine Cauldrons grew stronger and stronger. They were intertwined with the honor and disgrace of the human race, sharing weal and woe. When the human race fell, they naturally offered their full assistance.
Abundant spiritual energy is injected into the Great Xia world, and its integration with the earth's veins is becoming increasingly close.
At this time, the army sent by the demon race had also arrived in Great Xia.
Although those above the Nascent Soul stage cannot pass through the Gale Layer, demons and parasitic beings at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages can easily send out tens of thousands of them, none of whom are mortals who can withstand them.
The demon army was advancing fiercely. The emperor pondered, his finger twitching slightly as he turned directly to the page after the arrow that had caused the death.
Then a female phantom appeared before the demon army.
Si Que, who was watching the battle from a distance, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
A snow-white sword light slashed straight out.
The surging sword energy tore through the thick demonic clouds, and the frost-like, clear sword intent instantly froze the boiling demonic energy.
A woman's ethereal figure rode the waves, her white robes billowing like clouds.
The sword light fell, and the demons didn't even have time to react before they were vaporized by the sword.
Not only did it dispel the clear sky, but it also left a deep sword mark on the ground. This was the sea-splitting sword strike that Chu Lengyu unleashed when he awoke in the Minghai Realm.
This sword strike wasn't of high grade, but after ten years of nurturing it while she was unconscious, it was just right for slaughtering this demon army.
Witnessing everything, Si Que gritted his teeth and gripped the death-severing bow tightly.
It wasn't because of the demon race's losses, but because she recognized the woman's figure as Chu Lengyu.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
The phantom vanished, leaving only Si Que's mournful curse echoing: "Once the Demon Realm has completely devoured this world, I will personally sever your skull!"

Due to the accelerated revisions to the plot, the emperor's part was originally supposed to be cut, with Danzhu taking charge of the matter. However, I felt it was a bit of a pity, so I wrote it down.
