Before them was a strange, oddly shaped long blade.
It was a treasure they had never seen before.
The curves of the blade seemed somewhat uncanny.
Yet no one could say exactly what was uncanny about it.
The moment this blade appeared,
the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly darkened.
It was as though it could not withstand the blade's killing intent.
The aura emanating from the blade involuntarily darkened the moods of everyone in the Primordial World.
It was as if a massive stone weighed upon every heart, leaving them deeply oppressed.
After the blade appeared, the entire Primordial Land unconsciously fell silent.
Everyone silently stared at the long blade in the sky.
Only after a long while did the Grand Dao Script descend from the sky.
["Eleventh on the Treasure Ranking: Seven Wounds of Grief and Hatred Blade. Evil Emperor of Weapons. Primordial Treasure. The mortal enemy of the Grand Dao Supreme Sword. Formed from the world's seven wounds, seven hatreds, seven sufferings, seven pains, seven severances, seven sins, and seven emotions. It was the ultimate weapon of balefulness, evil, severity, filth, ferocity, wickedness, and punishment. With one slash, it could sever the heavens; with one slash, it could overturn the earth. Owner: Chang Kong!"]
Upon seeing this Grand Dao Script, all living beings of the Primordial World felt their scalps tingle.
Judging from this treasure's name alone, they knew it was undoubtedly an object of immense evil.
It could sever the heavens with one slash.
It could also overturn the earth with one slash...
It was simply unimaginably powerful.
This blade was practically a collection of every negative emotion in the world.
No one knew what conditions were required to wield it.
"Seven Wounds of Grief and Hatred Blade?"
"The Evil Emperor of Weapons?"
"Could this blade be considered the number one blade in the Primordial World?"
"But such a powerful treasure actually has a mortal enemy? What exactly is the Grand Dao Supreme Sword?"
"Could the tenth-ranked treasure be the Grand Dao Supreme Sword?"
"Then just how powerful is the Grand Dao Supreme Sword?"
"..."
Everyone muttered to themselves.
Yet their voices revealed a measure of timidity.
There was even a hint of fear.
The moment this blade appeared, it directly affected countless living beings throughout the Primordial World.
That was enough to show just how heavy its baleful aura was.
Everyone stared blankly at the long blade in the sky.
The oppressive feeling in their hearts grew increasingly intense.
Even after a long time, no one had recovered their senses.
["Tenth on the Treasure Ranking: Grand Dao Supreme Sword. Supreme in the Sword Dao, and also supreme among weapons. Primordial Treasure. It possesses one of the strongest of the Three Thousand Great Daos: the Supreme Dao. This sword could also be called the Emperor Sword, the Overlord Sword, the Sword of Light, the Gentleman's Sword... This sword could destroy all Daos and break all laws. All the myriad Daos under heaven must bow before it. Owner: Chang Kong!"]
Only after the Grand Dao Supreme Sword, possessing the majestic might of heaven, appeared
did the living beings of the Primordial World recover from the blade intent of the Seven Wounds of Grief and Hatred Blade.
They all gazed enviously at the Supreme Sword in the sky.
"Is this the tenth-ranked supreme treasure on the Treasure Ranking?"
"As expected of the natural enemy of the Seven Wounds of Grief and Hatred Blade. Grand Dao Supreme... it truly is formidable..."
"This sword possesses the Supreme Dao, one of the strongest Great Daos... I wonder whether it is stronger or weaker than the Floating Dao?"
"Supreme Dao... Floating Dao... both names sound insanely awesome..."
"The Supreme Dao should be stronger, right? After all, the Grand Dao Supreme Sword ranks higher than the Floating Pagoda..."
"Not necessarily... That only proves the Supreme Sword is stronger than the Floating Pagoda. It does not prove that the Supreme Dao is stronger than the Floating Dao, does it?"
"Why argue over such pointless things?"
"We can't comprehend these supreme Great Daos anyway... If we could comprehend even a minor Dao, we'd have to thank the heavens..."
"Countless living beings of the Primordial World were discussing it fervently..."
"Even the Grand Dao Supreme Sword, which possesses the Supreme Dao, only ranks tenth?"
"It is truly impossible to imagine what kind of existences occupy the top ten of the Mystic Treasure Chart."
"No matter what, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Creation Jade Tablet has yet to appear. I still firmly believe that Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Creation Jade Tablet is the strongest."
"You'd better not jump to conclusions, or you might get slapped in the face later..."
"I never expected that this Daoist named Chang Kong would be so monstrous. Starting from fifteenth place, every treasure on the Mystic Treasure Chart belongs to him..."
"In that case, this Daoist named Chang Kong must be Sanqi's master..."
"If he wanted to protect the Human Race... the Demon Race, the Sorcerer Race, and Nuwa would absolutely be unable to touch the Human Race..."
"Stop discussing this. What does it have to do with us? As the saying goes, when immortals fight, mortals suffer. We should focus on the Treasure Ranking first..."
"After the Treasure Ranking ends, Goddess Nuwa and Sage Zhunti will go to war. I wonder who is stronger between them?"
"Just watch slowly. There is plenty of good drama ahead. After the Treasure Ranking ends, there will be other rankings..."
"Once all the rankings are announced, this Primordial World will truly begin to change..."
Everyone looked up at the Grand Dao Supreme Sword in the sky and discussed it absentmindedly.
After the exhaustion following their shock faded,
they actually felt somewhat at ease.
Those mighty experts were right.
When immortals fought, mortals suffered.
They could only wait quietly for events to unfold.
At that moment, the Purple-Gold Qi in the sky began to boil once more.
Everyone grew excited again.
Were the top ten of the Treasure Ranking finally about to be revealed?
The countless living beings of the Primordial World lay on the ground and looked up at the heavens.
The Purple-Gold Qi filling the sky churned ever more violently.
After a long while, it actually formed into a book.
The book carried an overwhelmingly powerful aura that suppressed the entire Primordial World.
Moments later, Grand Dao Script manifested in the sky.
["Ninth on the Treasure Ranking: Grand Dao Codex. Primordial Treasure. It consists of one hundred and eight thousand volumes. After the Creation Jade Tablet was damaged, the Grand Dao Codex recorded numerous Great Daos and grasped the origins of many Great Daos. Anyone could comprehend their own unique peerless Great Dao from the Grand Dao Codex. Furthermore, the Grand Dao Codex recorded many earth-shattering secrets, including 'Swallowing the Starry Sky,' 'Battle Through the Heavens,' 'Soul Land,' and 'Purple River.' Owner: Chang Kong!"]
"Holy shit... As expected of the ninth-ranked existence on the Treasure Ranking... It actually has one hundred and eight thousand volumes... Wouldn't that make it the number one codex in the Primordial World?..."
"It even records numerous Great Daos..."
"Whoever grasped this codex, wouldn't they grasp every Great Dao?"
"With this codex in hand, any Great Dao would be as easy as reaching into one's pocket."
"No wonder this book ranks ahead of the Grand Dao Supreme Sword. It is absurdly powerful..."
"But this is also rather strange. The Grand Dao Codex, which records all Great Daos, only ranks ninth... What kind of monsters are ahead of it?"
"I wonder whether Daoist Chang Kong is generous enough to lend out one or two volumes for us to study closely..."
"Can everyone really comprehend their own Dao from this treasure?"
"It truly is infinitely wondrous..."
"But what exactly is this mysterious 'Battle Through the Heavens'?"
"'Battle Through the Heavens'? 'Soul Land'? 'Swallowing the Starry Sky'? 'Purple River'? What are these things? Their names sound pretty awesome, though?"
"Didn't the Grand Dao Script say so? They are all earth-shattering secrets... They must be some incredibly awesome things, right?"
"..."
Countless living beings of the Primordial World began discussing it endlessly.
"Senior Little Erbi, are you still there?"
"Senior Little Erbi, explain it to us. What exactly is 'Battle Through the Heavens'?"
"And what are 'Soul Land,' 'Purple River,' 'Asura Martial God,' and 'Swallowing the Starry Sky'?"
"I told you, stop asking me! I'm fucking Little Erbi. If there's something you don't understand, ask those Sages..."
"..."
"As expected of Senior Little Erbi. Even his anger is so distinctive..."
Although everyone was chattering noisily,
the Grand Dao Codex in the sky had truly shocked them to the core.
A codex that recorded numerous Great Daos...
One hundred and eight thousand volumes in total...
Clearly, everyone had been stunned by the Grand Dao Codex.
The moment information about this treasure emerged, the entire Primordial World erupted.
Even beyond the Primordial World, one could hear the synchronized gasps of countless living beings.
The air of the Primordial World seemed to grow thinner at that instant.
That was the power of the Grand Dao Codex.
Just as everyone was marveling at it,
the Purple-Gold Qi in the sky began to boil once more.
Everyone understood that the next treasure was coming...
