“These… seem to be accounts from the Seventh Heaven.” Xiao Man also noticed this, and casually flipped through them, her brows furrowing. “But, these dates seem to be… from several hundred years ago.”
"So this is where the annual accounts of the Seven Heavens are stored?" But who would store accounting records underwater? Are you crazy?!
“I don’t know either…” Xiao Man shook her head, unable to understand it either, and why there were only a few hundred years old ones, and only such a small number. “Hmm, this one seems different.” She noticed something and picked up a somewhat old booklet on the far left.
Youyou was taken aback, then casually took the book and flipped it open. The first page read: "Notes from the Seventh Heaven!"
A notebook?
She looked at it carefully and saw that it was filled with various things written neatly, with only one thing written on each page.
In the sixteenth year of the Immortal Calendar, seven thousand six hundred years ago, in the seventh heaven, one thousand two hundred and fifty years ago, in the third month.
The Eighth Emperor sought peace and reached a consensus, allowing the female immortal surnamed Qi to enter the Seventh Heaven Realm.
One thousand two hundred and fifty years in the Seventh Heaven, February.
The Eightfold Emperor challenged me to a duel, and I accepted! After several days of fierce fighting, I narrowly won!
One thousand two hundred and fifty years in the Seventh Heaven, one month.
An envoy from the Eighth Heaven has arrived to question the matter of the sunken traitor. Evidence has been presented, and he has been expelled from the country!
The Seventh Heaven, 1249 years, November.
Shen Cong's crimes have been verified and are true! He must be executed!
One thousand two hundred and forty-nine years in the Seventh Heaven, September.
A female immortal surnamed Qi sought help from a accuser, claiming that the Eighth Heaven Immortal Lord Chen Cong forcibly married her and used the guise of dual cultivation to engage in sexual exploitation. This case is pending investigation.
Seven Heavens...
What's this? You You was stunned and confused, feeling that something was wrong with the logic. It wasn't until Xiao Man next to her couldn't help but step in and flip the book over in her hand, reminding her, "Fellow Daoist You, you're holding it upside down."
"..."
Uh... okay!
She then realized that the reading habits in this world were different; books were written in a right-to-right format. However, after founding the True Transformation Sect, she had developed a habit of turning pages to the left, and her writing had always followed this order. Ling Qi and the others had changed their habits to accommodate her. That's why she hadn't immediately recognized the new books.
It now appears that the book records an event from several hundred years ago: a female immortal was bullied by a male immortal from the Eighth Heaven and sought help from the Seventh Heaven Emperor. After investigating, the Seventh Heaven Emperor killed the male immortal and, incidentally, turned against the Eighth Heaven Emperor?
She immediately sensed something was off and flipped back to the top page. She noticed the first page had a lot of text, unlike the more concise ones later on. The content didn't seem to be a record of important events; it was more like… a diary!
You You read on carefully and discovered that it really was written by the Seventh Emperor. However, it was different from the Seventh Emperor she had just learned about, the one who was obsessed with love, as described by Xiao Man.
The Seven-fold Emperor mentioned here is a true female virtuous woman!
Before her ascension, she established the first major immortal sect in the mortal realm, leading countless disciples. However, upon ascending to the celestial realm, she discovered it was not what she had imagined. At that time, female immortals were scarce, and there were no powerful female immortals to deter them. Female immortals were neglected, unprotected, often bullied, and even reduced to playthings, with no opportunity to grow stronger.
The Seventh Heaven Emperor deeply abhorred this phenomenon. While rescuing the female immortal, he spent thousands of years gradually accumulating strength and improving his cultivation, finally becoming the master of the Seventh Heaven. He finally provided the female immortal with a safe haven, ensuring that no one in the entire immortal realm dared to underestimate her. Even newly ascended female immortals received his utmost protection. Single-handedly, he reversed the unhealthy trends throughout the immortal realm.
This was also her initial commitment to guiding the female immortal into the Seventh Heaven.
Youyou's gaze fell on a sentence at the bottom of the notebook:
May all women stand tall and proud, live freely and gracefully, and live up to the blessings bestowed upon them by Heaven!
"This...is this the emperor from hundreds of years ago?" Not only You You, but Xiao Man, who was watching with her, was also stunned by such lofty aspirations. However, her expression darkened after a while, and she sighed, "It's a pity that the current emperor...has probably forgotten to write such words!"
You You glanced at Xiao Man, who looked disappointed, then looked back at the sentence in the booklet. Perhaps because she hadn't yet met the Seventh Heaven Emperor in person, some doubts arose in her heart. Could someone who could say something like, "May all women stand tall and proud," really be a love-struck fool?
Unable to figure it out at the moment, she simply put down the notebook in her hand and began to look around for other things. But the place was easily visible at a glance; apart from a few account books, there was nothing else. Just as she was about to leave...
"Fellow Daoist You!" Xiao Man suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the side, "This stone wall seems to be movable; there should be another room inside!"
Youyou was taken aback and quickly walked over. Sure enough, she saw several embedded marks on the stone wall, which looked like a door, but it was not very obvious and could not be seen without close inspection.
"This stone door is very heavy!" Xiao Man said, touching the stone wall. "It'll probably be hard to push open. Let's..."
Click...
Before she could finish speaking, You You simply pressed lightly against the stone wall, and the entire stone wall blossomed like a flower. Cracks instantly appeared from her side, covering the entire stone door in an instant. The next moment, with a loud crash, the stone door shattered, and countless fragments of stone rolled all over the ground.
“It’s easy to push!” You You pulled Xiao Man back a step to avoid the rock and replied in a serious tone.
Xiao Man, who had been pushing him for half a day: "..."
It was... pretty sudden!
"Let's go in!" You You walked straight ahead, and Xiao Man realized what was happening and immediately followed.
There was indeed a passage inside, only a few meters long, but a blinding light shone from the other side. The two stepped out of the passage and found themselves in a stone chamber about the same size as the one they had just entered, but it was covered with a dense array of formations, even more than those in the water outside.
"This is..." Xiao Man was startled, not expecting that such a small space could be set up with so many formations. Moreover, there seemed to be something in the middle of the formations. "Huh, that looks like a person."
Upon closer inspection, Youyou indeed saw a faint figure emerging from the layers of formations, though it was extremely faint, like a phantom. Below that figure was a small platform resembling a tray, but the formations were too numerous to discern what it was.
“Let’s go take a look, it shouldn’t be a person!” You You guessed, pulling Xiao Man closer and activating her invincibility skill to expand it. “Stay closer to me, don’t leave my invincibility circle.”
What circle? Xiao Man was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't quite understand, she understood what she meant and followed her closely.
As expected, with the shrinking Kun rings surrounding them, all the layers of formations around them were pushed aside, and the two of them, like swimming fish, squeezed into the center. Only when they reached the very center could they see what it was.
