Today, Master passed the Supreme Clarity Mystic Art on to me. Master was truly good to me. It was only a pity that he was far too detached and inactive.
In the future, the Three Pure Ones would turn against one another. It would be great if Master stepped in to keep them in line sooner. After all, as the eldest of the Three Pure Ones, his bloodline pressure was still damn impressive.
Laozi stared at the two short lines before him, his brows already furrowed into a deep crease.
"Calling me Master means it can only be Xuandu or Li Yuan. With such unrestrained wording, it must be Li Yuan."
"But... the Three Pure Ones would turn against one another, and this daoist would bear considerable responsibility?"
Laozi chuckled and shook his head.
The Three Pure Ones shared the same origin. They were brothers closer than brothers.
For them to turn against one another? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Why not say that Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the great mighty one who spread the Dao throughout the Primordial World, was actually a bad man?
Laozi had not paid it much attention at first, but his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
He recalled how Li Yuan had awakened the Pangu Physique and soared to the early Celestial Immortal realm.
His gaze returned to the diary in his hand as he murmured.
"Could it be... Great God Pangu chose Li Yuan, and this is some kind of warning from Great God Pangu?"
The Innate Human Race's foundation could be considered remarkable even in the Primordial World.
But compared with the Pangu Physique, it was truly insignificant.
Li Yuan's actions and words had always been unrestrained, but he had also been sincere. He would never make baseless claims.
Laozi's heart suddenly tightened.
"Could the Three Pure Ones, who share one body, truly..."
Thinking of this, he could not help but grow suspicious.
Yuanshi's disdainful laughter echoed through the Jade Void Palace.
"Utter nonsense! Complete nonsense! My eldest brother, third brother, and I would turn against one another? What a joke!"
"What kind of audacious fool wrote such empty nonsense? Truly hateful!"
Dong—!!!
A sudden bell chime pulled Yuanshi from his thoughts.
It was the entry checkpoint he had established for the Exposition Sect. Whenever a cultivator passed it, the bell would ring.
Yuanshi casually put away the diary and snorted coldly.
"We shall see what earth-shattering nonsense this fellow writes in the future."
"The priority is to see who has joined my Exposition Sect."
The Exposition Sect had only recently been established, with twelve spots for personal disciples.
A Sage's lineage attracted countless cultivators, who flocked to it in droves.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Yuanshi had just risen when the bell began ringing without pause.
Delight instantly appeared on his face, and the diary's outrageous words were cast to the back of his mind.
"It seems quite a few True Immortals blessed with fortune have entered my Exposition Sect."
Within the Jade Azure Palace, Tongtian casually tossed the diary onto the floor.
"This must be Demon Ancestor Rahu, still unwilling to give up, sending someone to disrupt my Dao heart!"
"My eldest brother, second brother, and I would turn against one another? How dare he say such a thing!"
"It is nothing more than some differences between my second brother's teachings and mine. That would never lead to us turning against one another!"
After saying this, Tongtian fell silent for a moment. He then picked up the diary and tucked it away, coughing twice as he looked around.
"This daoist has not been bewitched by you. This daoist simply does not want these outrageous words affecting my eldest and second brothers."
"Mm... that is exactly how it is!"
Cultivation knew no passage of time. A thousand years passed in the Primordial World!
Within his cave abode, Li Yuan consolidated his realm and improved his cultivation, while not forgetting to continue writing his diary.
Yet for an entire thousand years, the rewards granted by the Diary System had all been things commonly found throughout the Primordial World.
Until Li Yuan uploaded his diary at the end of that thousandth year.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for persistently writing a diary for a cumulative thousand years. You have received a system critical-hit reward! Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the system reward: Source of the Fire Law!
Li Yuan's face lit up with delight, and he hurriedly circulated his cultivation method to refine the Source of the Fire Law.
The Pangu Physique's foundation might have been supreme beyond measure.
But its difficulty of cultivation was likewise beyond what ordinary innate divine beings and demons could compare to.
Refining the origins of the three thousand Great Dao laws was probably about as difficult as Pangu's Creation.
He had not expected the Diary System to produce such a reward through a critical hit.
Amid his delight, Li Yuan did not forget to tease it.
"You Diary System can even provide for yourself, you little glutton."
The moment his words fell, a wisp of Chaos True Fire suddenly rose from Li Yuan's palm, and the temperature throughout the cave abode instantly soared!
Boom!
The clouds above Kunlun Mountain suddenly ignited, transforming into a Fire Phoenix ninety thousand miles long that circled through the skies!
Fortunately, Laozi had long ago set up an array to conceal it from prying eyes.
Li Yuan's mana surged throughout his body, condensing a Pangu Phantom that seized the Fire Phoenix in its hand!
A Heaven and Earth Furnace condensed before him, refining the Fire Phoenix!
Endless Chaos True Fire shattered apart and merged into Li Yuan's body!
At the same time, the pressure he emitted rose once more!
His bottleneck was pierced through like a sheet of thin paper, and he broke through to the middle Celestial Immortal realm!
Li Yuan circulated his heavenly cycle with all his might, absorbing the origin power of the Law of Fire!
Within the Eight Scenery Palace, Laozi held the diary and helplessly rubbed his temples. Gazing toward Li Yuan's cave abode, he murmured softly.
"What is that rebellious Wicked Disciple doing now?"
Then his gaze fell upon the diary. Most of its contents were meaningless, and he skimmed over them at a glance.
Yet it still contained quite a bit of information worthy of Laozi's attention.
Today, I heard the bell. It seems the Exposition Sect has taken in disciples. Great! From now on, I will have junior brothers too.
It is a pity that the Exposition Sect's disciples are arrogant. Second Martial Uncle also dislikes those covered in fur or born damp from eggs. The twelve personal disciples are said to be True Immortals blessed with fortune, but four of them are actually traitors.
The aura around the Interception Sect is truly numerous. Third Martial Uncle is very good and loyal, but unfortunately he is a blockhead. Otherwise, the Interception Sect would not have been destroyed.
Laozi's eyes narrowed slightly. Even he could not help drawing in a sharp breath upon reading the diary's contents.
"This Wicked Disciple truly dares to write anything. But how did he know that second brother dislikes birds and beasts?"
Yuanshi's dislike for those born damp from eggs had only spread among the top mighty beings.
Perhaps only the three thousand Red Dust Guests of the Purple Cloud Palace still remembered it.
"Third brother is a blockhead... Heh, that description is indeed not wrong."
Within the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi raised his head to glance at the twelve personal disciples sitting properly before him, then looked at the diary's contents.
His expression immediately turned livid. His fists clenched tightly as he thought to himself.
"How did this person learn of my preferences? He calls this daoist Second Martial Uncle. Could he be the disciple of junior brother or eldest brother? Which one?!"
"Four traitors among the Exposition Sect's twelve personal disciples? Impossible. This daoist's judgment is not as poor as third brother's!"
"Third brother is a blockhead? That did hit the mark!"
Guangchengzi wore a strange expression as he thought to himself.
"Wasn't Master supposed to be expounding the Dao? Why does his face look so terrible?"
Only Tongtian was inside the Jade Azure Palace. He suddenly summoned the Four Swords of Immortal Execution, their terrifying pressure pouring forth and leaving the Interception Sect disciples pale with fear.
Duobao raised his head toward the Jade Azure Palace and murmured.
"Did someone provoke Master?"
Tongtian glared at the diary until his eyes nearly split, then roared.
"I am a blockhead?"
"Bullshit!"
"Come into my Immortal Execution Sword Formation and say that again without changing a single word!"
