Tongtian Sneaks a Peek at My Diary

In the east of the Primordial World stood an immortal island.

It looked like a floating turtle shell.

Waves of the power of laws rippled across it, and the power of a Sage surged forth.

Multicolored rosy light filled the air, while seven-colored mists drifted everywhere.

Spiritual power surged, and wisps of immortal Qi flowed in all directions.

Dao rhythm flowed unceasingly, with countless visions!

This was the Interception Sect's cultivation ground-Jin'ao Island.

At the center of Jin'ao Island,

inside Biyou Palace, the Sage's cultivation ground,

a young Daoist in a pale cyan robe

sat cross-legged in the very center of the palace.

He was none other than the Jie Sect Leader, Sage Shangqing Tongtian, one of the six Sages ordained by heaven.

At that moment,

Tongtian's pale cyan Daoist robe billowed and his hair flew.

A mighty Sage's power rippled over his body.

With every breath Tongtian took,

spiritual Qi drifted freely, and divine power, like a vast sea of chaos,

poured out in all directions.

"Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, arise!"

As Tongtian gave a low shout,

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Several sounds of air being cleaved came from one side.

Piercing sword cries rang through Biyou Palace.

Flash!

Four streaks of sword light appeared.

In the blink of an eye, they landed beside Tongtian.

Hum!

The instant the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords appeared,

powerful baleful Qi surged in every direction.

Within a few breaths, it compressed the space inside Biyou Palace until it twisted.

Had this been an ordinary place, it might even have been destroyed by the power the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords unleashed.

Tongtian seemed to notice the startling baleful Qi as well.

His brows furrowed slightly, as though he disliked the baleful Qi of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

With a casual wave of his hand, his Sage's divine sense surged forth, carrying a terrifying pressure.

It enveloped the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords seemed to sense something.

They did not stop.

Turning into streaks of light and shadow,

they darted back and forth around Tongtian.

The baleful Qi was like a hurricane.

Had it not been suppressed by the power of a Sage,

Biyou Palace would almost have been sent flying by the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

At a certain moment,

Tongtian abruptly opened his eyes.

As his eyes opened and closed, it was as though stars were being born and extinguished.

They were filled with death and life, as though he had traversed the river of time and recreated earth, wind, water, and fire.

"Condense!"

Tongtian shouted in a low voice.

The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords shook violently, but in the end, Tongtian's immense pressure suppressed them.

Even so, they continued to tremble slightly.

Looking at the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, whose baleful Qi was still astonishing, Tongtian's face flashed with anger.

"Whew!"

"The baleful Qi on the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords is actually this powerful."

"I've refined them for a million years, yet there hasn't been any sign of success."

"If this baleful Qi isn't suppressed soon, they won't be able to truly become a supreme treasure that suppresses the Interception Sect's fortune."

As one of the six Sages, Tongtian naturally understood how important a sect's fortune was.

Without a supreme treasure to suppress its fortune, a sect would face destruction once it went through a calamity.

"The Investiture of the Gods Calamity is approaching, and the Chan Sect is eyeing us like a tiger watching its prey."

"If I don't suppress the Interception Sect's fortune soon, I'm afraid its fortune will be greatly affected."

"But I've been in seclusion for so long, and I still don't have a clue."

Tongtian murmured to himself.

His mysterious gaze fell on the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords were trembling incessantly.

Baleful Qi filled the air, shaking the space and making a sharp ringing sound.

Even suppressed by the power of a Sage's laws, they still refused to be "disciplined."

Once the Sage's pressure was withdrawn,

the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords would surely grow even wilder and harder to control.

"I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords fell into my hands..."

"Come to think of it, it's strange."

"The other two sects both have something to suppress their fortune, but the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords alone are difficult to tame! They're like a double-edged sword."

Just as Tongtian was talking to himself,

all of a sudden,

inside Biyou Palace,

an explosive sound rang out.

Hum!

The sound was deafening.

The powerful phenomenon made Tongtian look up sharply. He saw a rift of void and chaos appear out of nowhere directly above Biyou Palace.

The rift spun like a hurricane, releasing a force of the Great Dao.

In the next instant,

something carrying an astonishing Dao rhythm

shot through the void from the rift and smashed into the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.

The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords seemed to sense something.

They hummed and trembled, trying to dodge.

But

before the Immortal Slaying Sword could get out of the way,

it was struck squarely by the thing falling from the sky.

With a smack,

the baleful Qi on the Immortal Slaying Sword vanished without a trace.

The blade, which had been shaking violently, now fell completely still and silent.

It lay quietly to one side, unbelievably docile.

It was as though it had encountered something it feared deeply and didn't dare move at all.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Tongtian couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

"What kind of Dharma treasure is this? It can actually suppress the baleful Qi of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation?"

"If I can use this thing to suppress the baleful Qi of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, then I can use the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords to suppress the Interception Sect's fortune for the time being!"

As he spoke, Tongtian's Sage divine sense immediately surged forth.

The next moment,

he sensed a pure, lingering power of the Great Dao surging freely from the ancient book.

Even the Heavenly Dao Sage Qi inside Biyou Palace was suppressed by this dense presence of the Great Dao.

"What powerful Great Dao power!"

"Could it be a Great Dao supreme treasure?"

At this thought, Tongtian's eyes widened, and a flash of shock crossed his mind.

He reached out a hand instinctively.

The ancient book floating in the air seemed to answer his call.

It drifted gently into Tongtian's hand.

Hum!

The instant it touched Tongtian's palm,

a pale blue wave of light spread out.

Tongtian's gaze froze, and his primordial spirit jolted.

A piece of information suddenly exploded in his sea of consciousness.

"Great Dao Diary?"

"Could it be something like bamboo slips, used to record information?"

"It actually dares to call itself the Great Dao?"

Sensing the pure power of the Great Dao on the Great Dao Diary, Tongtian found it rather absurd.

This ancient book had appeared far too strangely.

It had actually ignored the rules of a Sage and entered Biyou Palace directly.

It could even suppress the baleful Qi on the Immortal Slaying Sword!

Whose Dharma treasure was it?

Had it been left here?

At this thought, Tongtian felt somewhat puzzled.

But one thing was certain.

A mighty expert who could possess such a Dharma treasure had to be terrifyingly powerful!

As this thought crossed his mind,

Tongtian caught sight of gaps along one side of the ancient book in his hand.

"Hmm?"

"It can be opened?"

"Since it fell into my hands, it must be fated with me."

"Why don't I see what's written in it?"

Tongtian knew full well how powerful the force on this diary was.

Feeling somewhat expectant, he held the Great Dao Diary in his hands.

He couldn't wait to turn to the first page of the diary.
