"Could the Great Daos of the world really be ranked?"
Many beings of the Primordial World looked at one another, their eyes full of disdain.
Just then, a voice rang out:
"Look at you, so utterly ignorant..."
Everyone recognized it as the mighty being called Xiao Erbi.
At once, they all seemed to have found a savior.
"Senior Xiao Erbi, please, we beg you to enlighten us..."
"We request that Senior Xiao Erbi explain it to us..."
"Senior Xiao Erbi, I'll offer you my wife if you'll explain it to all the beings of the Primordial World..."
"You old lecher..."
The beings of heaven and earth burst into laughter at those words.
Once again, the whole world resounded with praise for Xiao Erbi.
Only after a long while did Xiao Erbi speak again.
"As the saying goes, heaven and earth are boundless, and the Great Dao governs all."
"This boundlessness is the Great Dao."
"From the boundlessness came the Great Dao. The Dao gave birth to One, One gave birth to Two, and Two gave birth to Three. Three gave birth to all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and through the blending of their vital energies, harmony is achieved."
"What does this actually mean? Put simply, the endless treasury of the Dao gave rise to three treasuries of the Dao: Heaven, Earth, and Man. These are known as the Heavenly Dao Treasury, the Earthly Dao Treasury, and the Human Dao Treasury. The Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Books record the Dao Treasuries of Heaven, Earth, and Man."
"Each treasury of the Dao governs a thousand Great Daos and ten thousand lesser paths."
"Together, they are known as the Three Thousand Great Daos... and the countless lesser paths... Master one lesser path, and you can cultivate to become a Grand Unity Golden Immortal... Master one Great Dao, and you can attain the Primordial Origin... Understand, you ignorant fools?"
The moment Xiao Erbi said this,
the Primordial World erupted into an uproar.
Master a lesser path, and you could cultivate to become a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?
Master a Great Dao, and you could become a Sage?
They had never imagined that there were Great Daos and lesser paths.
After Xiao Erbi's explanation,
everyone suddenly understood.
They couldn't help but feel admiration for Xiao Erbi.
"Senior Xiao Erbi, how do you know so much? Could it be that you've also attained the Sage realm?"
"These things are just common knowledge in the Primordial World. The truly mighty beings can't be bothered to explain them to you... Don't make such a fuss..."
"..."
Even so,
the beings of the Primordial World couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for Xiao Erbi.
Only then did everyone turn their gaze back to the Hongmeng Futu Tower in the sky.
Did the Hongmeng Futu Tower possess the Futu Dao, one of the strongest of the Three Thousand Great Daos?
No wonder it ranked twelfth among the treasures... It truly was absurdly powerful.
Yet the owner of such a powerful treasure was still Changkong...
"Who exactly is this guy? He's unbelievably formidable!"
"Looks like his name will become famous throughout the Primordial World starting today..."
"Perhaps this Daoist Changkong is Sanqi's Master..."
"Maybe Changkong wants to protect the Human Race... That's why he sent Sanqi out..."
"I wonder what sort of abilities Daoist Changkong has. Not only does he own so many supreme treasures, he also has a beauty like Sanqi... I'm so envious..."
"That unfamiliar female Sage called Sanqi is breathtakingly beautiful. She could be said to outshine all beings; only Empress Nuwa can rival her... If this Daoist Changkong really is her Master... He's certainly blessed with beautiful women... How enviable..."
Countless beings of the Primordial World began discussing the matter without end.
Their discussions all centered on the dazzling name in the sky: Changkong...
From this day onward, countless beings of the Primordial World would remember the name Changkong.
Meanwhile, inside the Heavenly Machine Tower in that mysterious place,
Saint Sanqi, dressed in black, smiled faintly.
"This fellow called Xiao Erbi is rather interesting..."
A moment later, the Violet Gold Qi once again spread through the sky.
Another magic treasure appeared in the air...
It was a long blade of an unusual shape.
It was a magic treasure they had never seen before.
The curve of the blade seemed somewhat strange.
But they couldn't quite say what was strange about it.
As soon as the blade appeared,
the air between heaven and earth suddenly grew dark.
It seemed unable to bear the blade's killing intent.
The aura emanating from the blade actually cast a gloom over the emotions of the beings of the Primordial World.
It was as if a heavy stone had settled in every heart, leaving everyone feeling oppressed.
After the blade appeared, the whole Primordial Chaos Land fell silent of its own accord.
Everyone silently gazed at the long blade in the sky.
Only after a long while did the Great Dao Script appear in the sky.
["Magic Treasure Ranking, 11th place: Seven Injuries and Regretful Hate Blade. Evil Emperor Among Weapons. Innate Supreme Treasure. The sworn enemy of the Great Dao Supreme Sword. Forged from the seven injuries, seven regrets, seven sufferings, seven pains, seven destructions, seven sins, and seven emotions of the world, it became a blade of its own. It is the most baleful, evil, violent, turbid, vicious, malevolent, and punitive weapon in the world. One slash can sever the sky; one slash can overturn the earth. Master: Changkong!"]
After seeing this Great Dao Script, the beings of the Primordial World all felt their scalps go numb.
Just from the treasure's name, they could tell it was an extremely ominous object.
One slash could sever the sky.
It could also overturn the earth...
It was so powerful that it defied imagination.
This blade was almost a gathering of every negative emotion in the world.
They had no idea what conditions it took to wield it.
"The Seven Injuries and Regretful Hate Blade?"
"Evil Emperor Among Weapons?"
"Could this blade be the greatest blade in the Primordial World?"
"But even a magic treasure this formidable has a sworn enemy? What exactly is the Great Dao Supreme Sword?"
"Could the Great Dao Supreme Sword be the magic treasure ranked tenth?"
"Just how powerful is the Great Dao Supreme Sword, then?"
"..."
Everyone murmured to themselves.
Their voices betrayed a hint of timidity.
Some even seemed afraid.
The blade's appearance had directly affected countless beings of the Primordial World.
That alone showed how heavy its baleful aura was.
Everyone gazed dazedly at the long blade in the sky.
The oppressive feeling in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.
After a long time, no one had recovered from the shock.
["Magic Treasure Ranking, 10th place: Great Dao Supreme Sword. Supreme of the Way of the Sword, and supreme among weapons. Innate Supreme Treasure. It possesses one of the strongest Daos among the Three Thousand Great Daos: the Supreme Dao. This sword can also be called the Emperor Sword, the Hegemon Sword, the Light Sword, and the Gentleman Sword... It can destroy all Daos and break all methods. All the myriad Daos beneath heaven must bow before it. Master: Changkong!"]
Only when the Great Dao Supreme Sword, wreathed in overwhelming heavenly might, appeared...
