The Diary: The Investiture of the Gods Was Nothing but a Conspiracy
Jin'ao Island, the Interception Sect's cultivation grounds.
Biyou Palace.
The power of a law shrouded the palace.
A Sage's presence surged.
Tongtian sat cross-legged on a cushion wreathed in purple Qi.
An incomparably terrifying baleful Qi rippled over his body.
Wave after wave of soul-stirring sword Qi swept through Biyou Palace.
Even though the surrounding area was protected by the power of a Sage's laws,
before Tongtian's formidable strength,
it still seemed unable to withstand the pressure,
as though it might shatter at any moment.
And at this moment,
around Tongtian's body,
the soul-stirring Four Immortal-Slaying Swords floated slowly.
Unlike their usual overbearing demeanor,
today,
the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords were surprisingly obedient.
Their baleful Qi had vanished.
They no longer darted around everywhere, either.
It was as though they had been reprimanded.
And at the very center of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords,
an ancient-looking book floated in midair.
It was precisely because of this book's presence
that all the baleful Qi on the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords was suppressed by it.
It was even devoured!
As the Great Dao Diary released more and more of its presence,
the formidable might of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords became easier to suppress.
"Phew!"
At a certain moment,
Tongtian let out a long breath.
He reached out a hand,
and the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords obediently landed on his palm.
Their baleful Qi had been suppressed to its lowest point.
Even Tongtian could barely sense it anymore.
Perhaps the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords had sealed it away themselves.
It was the first time Tongtian had seen anything like this, and he felt a faint sense of surprise.
"The power of this Great Dao Diary really is unexpected."
"It can even directly suppress the baleful Qi of the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, the deadliest extraordinary treasures under the Heavenly Dao."
Tongtian murmured softly, an unreadable look flashing in his eyes.
"In that case, it's time to refine the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords Formation as well."
"That's quite a bit earlier than I planned!"
As Tongtian muttered to himself,
all of a sudden,
a muffled grunt came from afar.
Hum!
Accompanied by a burst of brilliant light,
the Great Dao Diary, which had been suspended in the air, suddenly trembled.
Sensing this strange change in its presence, Tongtian froze.
Then he saw the light emanating from the Great Dao Diary.
"Hm? Is there new content in the Great Dao Diary?"
Tongtian's gaze sharpened.
"The last diary entry wasn't finished."
"I still don't know what other important secrets came afterward."
"There might even be news of Duobao..."
With these thoughts in mind,
Tongtian beckoned to the Great Dao Diary.
Immediately afterward,
the Great Dao Diary landed directly in Tongtian's hand.
The next moment,
Tongtian turned the Great Dao Diary to its newest page.
He saw the extensive content written on it.
"Sigh, I hope I can see some good news this time?"
Murmuring to himself,
Tongtian suppressed the unease in his heart and looked down at the diary.
[Some year, some month, some day]
[The weather's bad today, and so is my mood]
[I caught a fish outside and brought it back, but that husky ate it]
[And in the end, I still have to feed that husky]
[What am I even doing this for?]
[Maybe I should stew the husky and eat it one of these days too?]
At this point,
Tongtian's brow twitched, and a speechless expression flashed across his face.
What was all this stuff?
And what was a husky?
An animal?
The owner of this Great Dao Diary seemed to have plenty of free time, huh?
In the middle of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, he actually had the time to keep fish?
More importantly, this entry was completely different from the previous one.
After this thought flashed through his mind,
Tongtian patiently continued reading.
[Sigh, but come to think of it, I can't keep thinking about food now]
[The Interception Sect is beset by troubles these days, and the Interception Sect disciples are all on edge]
[Looks like they're taking the Investiture of the Gods Calamity seriously enough]
[But what fucking good will that do?]
[The Investiture of the Gods Calamity is a conspiracy to begin with!]
[To put it bluntly, it's just aimed at the Interception Sect]
At this point,
Tongtian froze.
His heart filled with astonishment!
How could that be!?
The Investiture of the Gods Calamity was merely a calamity born to eliminate the karmic ties and karmic consequences of heaven and earth.
How could it possibly be a conspiracy?
Wasn't this ordained by the Heavenly Dao?
How could it possibly be aimed at the Interception Sect?
Although Tongtian was thinking this,
he had a faint, unsettling feeling.
He could not bring himself to disbelieve what was recorded in the Great Dao Diary!
With a trace of strange emotion,
Tongtian continued reading!
The words on the page came into Tongtian's view.
And what the diary had written next
made Tongtian's eyes go wide in an instant!
[On the surface, Yuanshi saw that Tongtian took in just anyone, and that anyone could call themselves a disciple of the Mystic Gate, so he wanted to purge the Mystic Gate!]
[But in truth, Yuanshi was only being plotted against too]
[Tongtian was given the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords, which were said to be unbreakable without four Saints, yet heaven had ordained six Sages in the Primordial World]
[Nuwa stays behind closed doors, leaving only five Sages, so as long as Taishang, Yuanshi, and the Two Sages of the West join forces]
[The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords will be gone! And the Interception Sect doesn't have a magic treasure to stabilize its providence]
[Then the entire Interception Sect will naturally be wiped out in one fell swoop]
[Besides, Duobao is bound to betray the sect afterward, and Taishang fucking drags him to the West by the head]
[In the end, most of the Interception Sect disciples ended up on the Investiture of the Gods, filling its vacancies, but got nothing at all!]
[Tell me, how miserable is that?]
Hum!
Even though there was still plenty more written afterward,
Tongtian could not read on.
At that moment,
he felt as though billions of bolts of lightning had struck his body.
Countless peals of thunder exploded in his primordial spirit!
His body instantly went rigid!
A sense of horror welled up in his heart!
Taishang, Yuanshi, and the Two Sages of the West would come to fight him together?
The Interception Sect disciples would end up on the Investiture of the Gods?
Duobao would be taken to the West by Taishang?
Could this be the reason Duobao would betray the Interception Sect?
This...
How could this be?!!
This was impossible!
Tongtian's eyes turned crimson, his body trembled, and a Sage's presence burst forth from him!
Clearly, he was unwilling to accept what was recorded in the diary!
