[Two thousand years ago, the Divine Realm was born, the next day the sun was in the sky, September was suspended, encompassing the universe....]

[At the beginning of the Divine Realm, three Divine Venerables founded the three great teachings: Human Sect, Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, and Zen Sect, starting the tradition of sects in the Divine Realm...]

[The Divine Realm was renamed "Taihong Divine Realm," and the era name was "Tai Hong."]

....

[In Tai Hong 102, the Vice Sect Leader of the Human Sect, Immortal Monarch Guangfu, disappeared in the Middle Ancient Continent of the Southern Territory in the same year. Since then, the fortune of the Human Sect declined, suppressed by the other two sects, and fell into a downturn....]

....

[In Tai Hong 343, the Sect Leader of the Qilin Immortal Sect disappeared in the Kuiyue Secret Realm. The Qilin Immortal Sect used the full strength of the entire sect to search to no avail, declaring the leader fallen, and the Qilin Immortal Sect dropped from its seat among the Eight Great Immortal Sects of Tai Hong, never to recover.]

.....

[In Tai Hong 399, a strong individual ascended from the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm and was absorbed by the Human Sect, named "Venerable Tianhan," becoming one of the ten great powers of the Human Sect, leading the sect to prosperity once again!]

.....

[In Tai Hong 401, the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, Qilin Immortal Monarch, disappeared in the Black Nether Sea. The Ten Thousand Spirits Sect used the Cause and Effect Mirror to deduce, but still could not trace his whereabouts. For the next three hundred years, the strength of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect declined, suppressed by the other two sects for three hundred years....]

....

[In Tai Hong 485, the Dayan Immortal Sect absorbed a strong individual who ascended from the Lower Immortal Realm, titled "Elder Qingyun," who with great power seized one of the ten Great Dao positions of the Dayan and became Vice Sect Leader, securing the Dayan Immortal Sect's position as the leader of the Eight Great Immortal Sects!]

....

[In Tai Hong 555, the Laughing Buddha of the Zen Sect went into meditation and retreat in the Ninth Temple, then disappeared within the Zen Sect. Panic spread through the sect, leading to a full relocation of the sect, gravely injuring their vitality, sealing the sect for two hundred years before recovering....]

....

After reading this, Li Changxiao slowly closed the ancient text and did not continue reading.

He learned about many major historical events from this chronicle but also discovered a very strange aspect.

That is, every hundred, two hundred, three hundred years, someone of great importance in the Taihong Divine Realm would mysteriously disappear, not die, but disappear.

Death is quite normal, but disappearance seems very strange.

Especially in Tai Hong 401, when the Qilin Immortal Monarch of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect disappeared. The entire sect searched and even used the sect's treasured Cause and Effect Mirror to deduce but found no trace, which was incredibly strange....

Could this be the reason why Uncle Bai reminded him in broad daylight not to wander out of the village without reason?

At this time, Li Changxiao noticed a thick, yellowed book on the table.

When he opened it, he realized it was a diary.

The cover read—"Chen Zhi'an's Diary"

It seems the previous owner of this wooden house, the one who ascended from the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, was called "Chen Zhi'an."

He turned to the first page of the diary:

[Tai Hong 21003 year, today, ascended from the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm to the Taihong Divine Realm, a new journey begins!]

....

[Tai Hong 21010 year, the Taihong Divine Realm is indeed full of hidden talents, great figures are everywhere, suffered a loss yesterday and lost a treasure, but also gained new insights in the battle and made a breakthrough! Keep at it, strive to enter the now most prosperous Human Sect!]

...

[Tai Hong 21050 year, unknowingly, it's been a whole cycle of sixty years since arriving in this world, time flies truly fast, like the blink of an eye, but it's worth recording that I have successfully joined the Human Sect for ten years, and have become a steward in the sect. I must say, disciples of the Human Sect are all exceptional, everyone is a big figure from the lower realms. The next goal is to become an Elder within ten years!]

.....

[Tai Hong 21100 year, today, passed through the Secret Realm, defeated ten examination opponents, successfully promoted to an Elder of the Human Sect, the Sect Leader came personally to congratulate, the Sect Leader is truly powerful, just his aura makes me uneasy, finally, I have established my footing in Tai Hong. ]

.....

[Tai Hong 21900 year, damn the old dog of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect! Ambushed and assassinated along the way, now I can't return to the Human Sect, let's recover from injuries in Broken Valley Village for a while. ]

...

[Tai Hong 21901 year, today something strange happened]

...

The diary abruptly stopped here!

Li Changxiao widened his eyes, breathing heavily, a fear of unknown origin continually spread and grew in his heart....

The last day's entry was clearly unfinished, normally, unless something urgent happened, it would be impossible not to finish writing a sentence.

He gently closed the diary, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to calm his mind, and waited for daylight.

But no matter how he calmed down, his mood couldn't settle, and his heartbeat only grew more intense.....

And so, it continued until dawn.

The sun rose, purple air came from the east.

Li Changxiao opened the wooden door to see Bai Qiu feeding horses not far away.

"Uncle Bai."

Li Changxiao stepped forward, clasped his fists, and called.

"Hmm, getting used to staying here?" Bai Qiu nodded, feeding the white horse in front of him while asking.

"It's alright." Li Changxiao replied.

....

"Uncle Bai, the previous owner of the house I'm staying in, was his name... Chen Zhi'an?"

Li Changxiao asked straightforwardly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiu raised an eyebrow, turned around, and asked in surprise, "You know him?"

"His name was left in the house, I discovered it unintentionally." Having said this, Li Changxiao paused, then continued to ask, "Uncle Bai, did Senior Chen Zhi'an leave Broken Valley Village one day thirty years ago?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiu pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "By the estimation, it should be thirty years ago."

He then frowned tightly and continued to ask, "You've only been here a day, how do you know these things? Could it be... you know how Chen Zhi'an disappeared?"

Upon hearing these words, Li Changxiao was startled in his heart. It seems... Chen Zhi'an really did disappear suddenly while writing his diary, that is, vanished into thin air within the house!

Furthermore, from Uncle Bai's words, it can be inferred that he also did not know how Chen Zhi'an disappeared.

Then, Li Changxiao explained everything about the diary truthfully.

After hearing, Bai Qiu fell into a long silence, then turned to continue feeding the white horse, and said faintly, "Regarding the disappearance, you better not delve into it, just focus on your cultivation."

Seeing Uncle Bai's very calm expression, Li Changxiao felt something was very amiss.

Chen Zhi'an was a big figure who ascended from the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, also an elder of the Human Sect. Someone so significant vanished out of thin air in a tiny wooden house in this village, is this not a very bizarre matter?

Yet, Uncle Bai seemed to be deliberately avoiding this topic?

"Uncle Bai... don't you find it strange?" Li Changxiao continued to probe.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiu's face suddenly changed, shouting at Li Changxiao, "Li Changxiao!"
