The Primordial World's living beings had only just recovered from the Blade Intent of the Seven Injuries and Regretful Hate Blade.

They all gazed enviously at the Supreme Sword in the sky.

"Is this the treasure ranked tenth on the Magic Treasure Ranking?"

"As expected of the natural enemy of the Seven Injuries and Regretful Hate Blade, the Great Dao Supreme Sword... It really is powerful..."

"This sword possesses one of the strongest Great Daos, the Supreme Dao... I wonder how it compares to Futu Dao?"

"Supreme Dao... Futu Dao... Just from their names, they both sound amazing..."

"The Supreme Dao should still be stronger, right? After all, the Supreme Sword ranks above the Futuo Pagoda..."

"That's not necessarily true... It only proves the Supreme Sword is stronger than the Futuo Pagoda, not that the Supreme Dao is stronger than Futu Dao, right?"

"What's the point of arguing about this?"

"We can't comprehend these supreme Great Daos anyway... If we could understand even one minor Dao, we'd have every reason to be grateful..."

"Countless living beings across the Primordial World debated among themselves..."

"Even the Great Dao Supreme Sword, which possesses the Supreme Dao, only ranks tenth?"

"I can't even imagine what kind of existences occupy the top ten spots on the Magic Treasure List!"

"Regardless, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Jade Plate of Creation hasn't appeared yet. I still firmly believe it's the strongest."

"Let's not jump to conclusions too soon, or we might end up eating our words..."

"I never thought that this Daoist named Changkong would be so absurdly powerful. Starting from fifteenth place, every treasure on the Magic Treasure Ranking has been his..."

"In that case, this Daoist named Changkong must be Sanqi's Master..."

"He's going to protect the Human Race... The Demon Race, Witch Race, and Nuwa won't be able to touch the Human Race now..."

"Stop talking about that. What does it have to do with us? When immortals fight, mortals suffer. Let's just keep watching the Magic Treasure Ranking..."

"After the Magic Treasure Ranking ends, Empress Nuwa will go to war with Saint Zhunti. I wonder which of them is stronger?"

"Just keep watching. There's plenty more to come. After the Magic Treasure Ranking, there'll be other lists..."

"Once all the lists have been revealed, the Primordial Chaos World will truly undergo a great upheaval..."

Everyone gazed up at the Great Dao Supreme Sword in the sky, casually chatting among themselves.

After the exhaustion that followed their initial shock faded,

they actually began to feel rather at ease.

Those great powers were right.

When immortals fight, mortals suffer.

All they could do was wait and see how things unfolded.

Just then, the Violet Gold Qi in the sky boiled once again.

Everyone grew excited once more.

Was the top ten of the Magic Treasure Ranking finally about to be revealed?

The living beings of the Primordial World lay on the ground, watching the firmament.

The Violet Gold Qi billowing across the sky grew more and more turbulent.

After a long while, it actually transformed into a book.

The book radiated an incomparably powerful aura that pressed down upon the entire Primordial World.

A moment later, the Great Dao Script manifested in the sky.

["Ninth place on the Magic Treasure Ranking: Great Dao Treasure Codex. Innate Supreme Treasure. It consists of 108,000 volumes. Ever since the Jade Plate of Creation was damaged, the Great Dao Treasure Codex has recorded numerous Great Daos and contains the origins of many of them. Anyone can comprehend their own unique, peerless Great Dao from the Great Dao Treasure Codex. In addition, the Great Dao Treasure Codex also records many astonishing secrets, such as Shrouding the Heavens, Battle Through the Heavens, Douluo Continent, Zichuan, and Swallowed Star. Master: Changkong!"]

"Damn... No wonder it ranks ninth on the Magic Treasure Ranking... It has 108,000 volumes... Doesn't that make it the greatest collection of books in the Primordial World?..."

"It even records numerous Great Daos..."

"If someone gained possession of this codex, wouldn't they have mastered every Great Dao?"

"With this codex in hand, any Great Dao would be as easy to obtain as something in a pocket."

"No wonder this book ranks ahead of the Great Dao Supreme Sword. It's ridiculously powerful..."

"But something about this is strange. A codex that records every Great Dao only ranks ninth... What kind of absurd treasures rank above it?"

"I wonder if that Daoist Changkong is generous. Maybe he'd lend me a volume or two so I could study them carefully..."

"Can everyone really comprehend their own Great Dao from this treasure?"

"It truly is wondrous beyond compare..."

"But what is this mysterious Battle Through the Heavens?"

"Battle Through the Heavens? Douluo Continent? Swallowed Star? Zichuan? What are all these things? From their names, they sound amazing!"

"Didn't you read what the Great Dao Script said? They're all astonishing secrets... They're probably amazing things."

"..."

The countless living beings of the Primordial World began discussing it noisily.

"Senior Xiao Erbi, are you still there?"

"Senior Xiao Erbi, explain it to us. What exactly is Battle Through the Heavens?"

"And what are Douluo Continent, Zichuan, Asura God of War, and Swallowed Star?"

"I said, stop asking me! I'm just a damn Xiao Erbi. If there's something you don't understand, go ask those Sages..."

"..."

"As expected of Senior Xiao Erbi. Even when he gets angry, he has such a distinctive style..."

Although everyone was chattering noisily,

the Great Dao Treasure Codex in the sky had truly left them utterly astounded.

A codex that recorded numerous Great Daos...

It consisted of 108,000 volumes...

Everyone was clearly stunned by the Great Dao Treasure Codex.

As soon as the information about this treasure appeared, the entire Primordial World erupted.

Even beyond the Primordial World, one could hear the living beings' synchronized gasps.

The air in the Primordial World seemed to grow thin at that moment.

That was the might of the Great Dao Treasure Codex.

Just as everyone was marveling at it,

the Violet Gold Qi in the sky boiled once again.

Everyone knew that the next treasure was about to appear...

The Violet Gold Qi billowing through the sky grew increasingly intense.

After a very long time, it finally struggled to condense into a treasure.

The treasure was a huge circular disc.

Strange lights shone from its surface, making it impossible to see clearly.

The moment this treasure appeared,

it was as if a volcano had erupted deep beneath a thousand-foot-thick layer of ice.

The entire Primordial World was thrown into an uproar.

Countless people cried out in shock.

A hint of fear seemed to permeate the sky.

"Th-this is the Jade Plate of Creation..."

"Why did it appear so early?"

"Such a powerful Jade Plate of Creation, yet it only ranks eighth?"

"I never imagined that the Jade Plate of Creation's original form was a circular disc..."

"It's over... My faith has crumbled..."

"The Primordial World is doomed... The strongest treasure only ranks eighth..."

At that moment, all the living beings in the Primordial World fell into chaos.

Not to mention the younger generations of the Primordial World.

Even among the Innate Beings,

few had ever seen the Jade Plate of Creation.

Yet that did nothing to diminish their yearning for it.
