With a Sword, I Roam Free and Joyous; Without One, I Still Stand at the Peak

Biyou Palace, Tongtian's pupils contracted slightly.

A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes!

My emotions began to stir.

Previously, the Great Dao Diary repeatedly recorded that the Interception Sect perished due to the machinations of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.

This includes all the members of the Interception Sect, and even himself, who would take the Saint-Slaying Pill.

Ultimately, those who attain sainthood will not only be restricted by the Heavenly Dao, but may even lose their freedom.

"But now that the Heavenly Dao is in chaos and the secrets of Heaven are obscured, how could you, senior, and the author of that Great Dao Diary, have foreseen the same result?"

"But I cannot fathom it. Could it be because I am a Heavenly Dao Sage, and my true spirit is residing within the Heavenly Dao, unable to transcend it, thus my divine consciousness is obscured?"

"That's not impossible! If we follow the analysis described in the Great Dao Diary, and unfold according to the Hongjun conspiracy theory, then Hongjun definitely doesn't want us to know the details and future of the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods..."

"In that case, my task of changing the fate of the Interception Sect becomes even more urgent..."

"And to complete this task, the first step is to break free from the Heavenly Dao... Relying on others is useless; the power I wield must be completely under my own control..."

With this thought in mind, it seemed that Tongtian had no choice but to abandon his saintly position and then achieve enlightenment of the Great Dao.

Thinking of this, Tongtian's eyes narrowed instantly.

There was no rush to take out the paper about Sword Dao.

Instead, he casually waved his hand and summoned the Great Dao Diary.

The Great Dao Diary has appeared.

A mysterious aura then surged forth.

It instantly filled the entire Biyou Palace.

The talisman array that Tongtian had previously set up coincided with the aura released in the Great Dao Diary.

The two energies combined.

This led to the entire Biyou Palace becoming even more closed off.

Tongtian wasn't too surprised by this.

After all.

The Great Dao Diary carries the Power of the Great Dao.

It contains the Great Dao and most profound laws and principles, and can even influence the aura of a region!

This unusual phenomenon is not surprising.

Moreover, the Great Dao Diary can suppress the evil energy above the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation and prompt him to gradually refine the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation Diagram into his own evil energy!

Even if he didn't refine the evil energy of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation, he could still use the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation.

However, the power that could be used in that way was less than half of what Luohu could use.

Although the Dao Ancestor erased Luohu's consciousness from the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

But it's no less powerful than Tongtian.

It even contains the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, in a sense, the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation does not belong to him; he only has the right to use it.

If refined, it would allow one to utilize at least 80% of the power of the Eight Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation.

If he could completely suppress it and turn the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords into his own magic weapon, then he could unleash the full power of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation.

However, even with the Great Dao Diary to suppress the evil aura of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, he has not been able to completely suppress it to this day.

It will take time; given his current abilities, it's difficult for him to do it quickly.

Moreover, he doesn't intend to be too radical.

The things recorded in the Great Dao Diary are too secretive.

Moreover, this thing is not easy to control.

If one is too hasty, the identity of the Grand Dao Diary Book will be exposed.

The Great Dao Diary is of utmost importance and must be kept strictly secret, so that it cannot be known by other living beings.

Therefore, we still need to continue with a steady and pragmatic approach.

As Tongtian pondered this, he looked down at the Great Dao Diary, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"It's been a long time since I've seen any messages in the diary."

I wonder if there have been any new entries added to the diary?

Tongtian thought to himself.

He flipped through Great Dao Diary again and again.

No new diary entries have appeared.

The Great Dao Diary still only records the previous messages.

I flipped through it several times.

Tongtian was quite disappointed to find no relevant records, and upon reflecting on his own choices, he felt a sense of helplessness.

"Let's see what insights you've gained into Sword Dao, senior."

"If it could improve my Sword Dao, and if I had a fifty percent chance of success, I would certainly relinquish my sainthood!"

Thinking this way.

Tongtian Thoughts stirred.

He casually pushed it aside.

The Great Dao Diary floated slowly beside him, emanating a peculiar Power of the Great Dao.

It cleansed the surrounding atmosphere.

All traces of anything not belonging to the Great Dao Diary within the Biyou Palace where Tongtian resided were eliminated.

Although this approach is somewhat absolute, it has no impact on Tongtian.

After all, Tongtian did not intend to cultivate, but rather to comprehend the Dao.

Therefore, everything must be kept secret.

"The Great Dao Diary should not be under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. Keeping it by my side should help me resist the aura I release."

"I hope Hongjun won't find out."

She murmured to herself.

Tongtian transformed his concerns about the Interception Sect into motivation to improve his own strength.

He became even more eager for the Sword Dao guidance that Senior Lin Tian would give him.

A thought struck me.

The paper Lin Tian had written to him earlier appeared in his palm.

I stared at the sheet of paper in front of me, which looked like a blank sheet of paper.

Tongtian's state of mind was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

The excitement in my heart was like the sea surface swept by a hurricane, already stirring up towering waves!

He knew that the opportunity to peacefully relinquish his holy position and break free from the shackles of Heavenly Dao was right before him.

Whoosh!

With this feeling of anticipation,

Tongtian slowly unfolded the paper.

On the white paper were a dozen or so lines of black characters spelling "Tao".

The writing technique of the word Tao is outstanding. The pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and the luan flies like a phoenix and Zhu. It is quite artistic!

At first, Tongtian only sensed a mysterious aura from that word.

But it's hard to explain, hard to articulate.

Even if it contains endless profound truths.

Even those who can Tongtian cannot study it in detail.

He always felt that there was some kind of thought or barrier blocking his consciousness.

He recognized every single character on that paper.

But when put together, they are completely incomprehensible and impossible to remember.

As Tongtian Pingxin, the character "Dao" before him gradually became clearer.

And at that very moment!

Clang!

Suddenly.

Within the simple, soft white paper in front of me.

A sudden change has occurred!

A white light suddenly appeared on the paper!

Then it enveloped the Tongtian.

A void world teeming with sword energy suddenly appeared before Tongtian!

A white Chaos filled the entire void.

"This is..."

Tongtian watched all this, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Before he could react...

Choke!!

A powerful sword cry suddenly erupted around his consciousness.

The sound wasn't particularly loud.

But the resulting fluctuations were absolutely terrifying!

The sword was not drawn; in fact, the sword did not even exist.

But that overwhelming, surging, and boundless sword intent...

It surged forth from that void!

Like waves crashing against the shore, the flashing swords and shadows burst forth from the white paper, instantly engulfing the entire Biyou Palace.

This caused the entire Biyou Palace to be filled with terrifying sword energy and malevolent aura!

Even though Tongtian was prepared, he was still taken aback by this terrifying sword energy.

He couldn't help but gasp, his eyes trembling.

"What terrifying sword energy..."

"Even though I have cultivated the Sword Dao for billions of years, I am but an ant before the sword energy emanating from this blank sheet of paper!"

"Is this the Sword Dao of Senior Lin Tian?!"

"As expected... it's terrifying!!"

Just as Tongtian was murmuring this...

The strange phenomenon suddenly occurred again.

The white paper in front of me vanished in a flash.

The character "Dao" described above also transformed into something like an earthworm, gradually drifting towards Tongtian and hovering in mid-air.

Tongtian paused, looking ahead with surprise in his eyes.

All that could be seen before him was...

The flowing characters for "Dao" rippled slightly, as if imbued with life by the sword energy.

Fluent and full of charm.

Within each character of the Dao, there seems to be the shadow of a sword, and they all seem to exude the unique murderous aura of the Sword Dao.

The appearance was rows of characters resembling earthworms.

Yet it seems to possess the foundation and power to cleave heaven and earth!

Tongtian looked up, his eyes trembling.

The lines of black Dao characters released an incomparably terrifying sword intent.

It was as if he had been pulled directly into that void world where only the Sword Dao!
