Primordial Diary

[Ding! Side Quest 1 Complete. Congratulations to Host for obtaining the reward: Body Outside Body (Grade: Yellow Grade)!]

Chen Tong returned to his residence and heard the System prompt.

"Body Outside Body!"

Chen Tong was stunned for a moment, followed by immense joy.

Hahaha!

Side quests are so awesome!

He had completed so many small tasks before, and the rewards only allowed him to advance from the early stage of Mortal Immortal to the middle stage.

Now, completing one side quest directly rewarded him with a spell!

And it was Body Outside Body!

This was originally Sun Wukong's signature skill. With one Body Outside Body, he could transform into hundreds or thousands of monkey kings, capable of repelling a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and divine generals!

"System, give me a detailed introduction to 'Body Outside Body'!"

[Ding! Body Outside Body: The spell level can be continuously advanced. Once cultivated to great success, the Host can allow every drop of water in rivers, lakes, and seas to become a clone, and they can also inherit some of the owner's abilities...]

"Holy crap! Amazing!"

Chen Tong shouted excitedly.

This was much more advanced than Sun Wukong's Body Outside Body!

After all, the monkey's monkey hairs were limited.

Water, on the other hand, was virtually infinite!

It could be poetically compared to: a million shadow clones helping a million Narutos create Rasengans, are you scared or not!

And it was a growth-type spell, practically a lifebound spell!

[Ding! We hope the Host practices more and strives to reach the perfect realm as soon as possible!]

"Don't worry, with such an awesome spell, I naturally won't slack off!"

After comprehending Body Outside Body, Chen Tong calmed his emotions slightly, but the System's next sentence made him dizzy again.

[Ding! 500 years have passed. The Primordial Diary has been successfully unlocked!]

BOOM!

It was like a muffled thunderclap exploding in Chen Tong's mind.

The Primordial Diary has been successfully unlocked?!

He, Chen Tong, had been hiding in the river for a full 500 years, just waiting for the seal on this ultimate treasure to be lifted!

Now, his efforts had finally paid off, and he had waited for it!

Chen Tong sent his consciousness into the System's warehouse and, among a pile of items, found the Primordial Diary at the very bottom...

The Chaos Seal on it had indeed completely dissipated!

Holding it in his hand, Chen Tong's hands trembled slightly, filled with excitement!

"Primordial Diary, oh Primordial Diary, it's been a full 500 years, please don't disappoint me!"

Saying that, Chen Tong carefully opened the first page of the diary.

Primordial Violet Qi continuously drifted out. Chen Tong could feel that if he wrote words on it, it might connect the past and present, linking through time and space!

"What should I write?"

Chen Tong poked his forehead with the tip of his pen, suddenly unsure of what to write.

Suddenly, he thought of someone and a smile appeared on his face as he began to write.

[The weather is clear today. I was slacking off as usual in the morning, but in the afternoon, I saw Sun Wukong... Although this monkey has extremely poor manners, I must say he is a pitiable fellow!]

[He thinks he learned ultimate skills and the Immortality Technique at Mount Fangcun. Little does he know that all of this was orchestrated by others.]

[His fate was already tied to the grand plan of the Journey to the West. He thought he was acting according to his own will, but in the end, he was just being used as a pawn by the Heavenly Court and Thunderclap Monastery!]

[Tragic, truly tragic! The monkey doesn't have much time left. I wonder if he can escape this calamity...]

After writing the diary entry, Chen Tong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The frustration in his heart could only be vented onto the diary. It would be even better if the monkey could see it.

Those aloof beings at Thunderclap Monastery regarded the Journey to the West as a conspiracy to solidify their own status.

Hmph!

Go ahead and bet everything on it!

I, Chen Tong, will definitely slap you all hard!

[Ding! Host has completed the first diary entry. Reward: Heavenly Immortal Pill!]

[Reward: Gonggong's Heavenly Grade Mountain Moving Technique!]

The rewards are already coming?

Before Chen Tong could even recover, a beam of light infused with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth directly poured down from above his head.

The immense spiritual energy caused the water below to churn violently.

The surface of the water moved as if by wind, but it was nothing compared to the terrifying storm beneath.

Bang!

Chen Tong felt the energy within him surge, breaking through the unbreakable seal.

Late-stage Mortal Immortal, perfect Mortal Immortal, early-stage Earth Immortal, mid-stage Earth Immortal, late-stage Earth Immortal, perfect Earth Immortal, early-stage Heavenly Immortal!

Finally, the surging realm stopped at early-stage Heavenly Immortal!

This cultivation speed!

"Hiss..."

Chen Tong gasped as he felt the changes in his body.

Heavenly Immortals, their lifespans are as long as heaven and earth, and they can also destroy heaven and earth!

In just a few breaths, he had already become a powerful figure.

"Haha, these 500 years were indeed worth the wait! System! Primordial Diary! I love you to death!"

"Oh right, and there's a Heaven-tier cultivation technique, the Mountain Moving Technique!"

Chen Tong sent his consciousness into it, and the cultivation technique was immediately transmitted into his mind.

[Heaven-tier Mountain Moving Technique: Created by the Water God Gonggong, it can move mountains and fill seas.]

[Nuwa's feat of mending the heavens was also successfully accomplished with the help of the Mountain Moving Technique.]

[If Yu Gong had known this Mountain Moving Technique back then, he wouldn't have needed to move the Jade Emperor with his sincerity.]

"Not bad, not bad. When I encounter a troublesome opponent, I'll just move Flower-Fruit Mountain and smash it in his face!"

With a significant increase in strength and the acquisition of a new cultivation technique, Chen Tong was in an exceptionally good mood.

He yawned and went straight to sleep.

Below Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Sun Wukong held the Golden Cudgel, unable to put it down, thinking he had to hurry back and show it to his monkey children and grandchildren.

Before he had taken a few steps, his foot suddenly tripped over something, nearly causing him to fling the cudgel away again.

"What the heck? Something dared to trip me, Old Sun?"

The monkey put away the Golden Cudgel, scratched his ears and cheeks as he walked over, and saw a strange notebook lying where it had tripped him.

"What is this?"

He picked up the diary, and saw a line of golden, shining text: Primordial Diary - Supplementary Volume!

Sun Wukong scratched his head vigorously and flipped open the first page.

[Sun Wukong's fate is completely in someone else's hands?]

[Being used as a pawn by the Heavenly Court and Thunderclap Monastery?]

[The Journey to the West, a conspiracy encompassing all sentient beings!]

[The monkey's time is running out, can he escape this calamity...]

Seeing the contents of the diary, Sun Wukong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Even though he didn't know what the Journey to the West was yet, he could see from these scattered words a vast conspiracy spreading like a spiderweb!

"If what's written here is true, then I, Old Sun, will never let this go!"

Sun Wukong's fur stood on end, a sign of extreme anger.

Then, calming down, Sun Wukong began to doubt the authenticity of the diary.

Perhaps it was just a story written by some bored person!

"The diary and that immortal in the river both said my time is running out, so I'll see if it's true!"

Sun Wukong put away the supplementary volume of the Primordial Diary.

If everything the diary said was true, then Sun Wukong would definitely treat it as a heavenly book that could predict the future! And believe everything written in it!

After returning to Flower-Fruit Mountain, Sun Wukong joyfully reunited with his monkey children and grandchildren, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

They drank and feasted, cups clinking and dishes exchanged.

After getting drunk, Sun Wukong lay on the stone bed, the words of warning from Chen Tong and the diary constantly replaying in his mind...

In a daze, two figures, one black and one white, suddenly flickered before his eyes.

Like dreamlike flashes of light and shadow, they formed a black and white dreamscape!

Sun Wukong's eyes snapped open.

This wasn't a dream!
