Hong Improved His Strength, Wrote a New Diary Entry, and Received Rewards

Meanwhile.

When Tongtian's majestic voice died away.

The once-quiet Interception Sect training ground lost its usual peace and tranquility.

Figures radiating terrifying baleful Qi came flying in through the void.

Their hurried return to the training ground made it obvious they were Interception Sect disciples who had been traveling abroad.

After all, once Tongtian gave an order, who dared disobey?

As repeated sounds of figures cutting through the air came from the void.

Lin Tian instinctively looked up at the Interception Sect disciples.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Judging by Sect Master Tongtian's tone, he seemed incredibly anxious.

I can't shake the feeling that something is about to happen?!

During this calamity, what could make Saint Tongtian anxious?

Could it be... that something has changed with the Investiture of the Gods Calamity?

At that thought, Lin Tian's expression grew somewhat grave, and a trace of worry flickered in his eyes.

Looks like I need to hurry and improve my strength.

I'll try out the cultivation technique the system gave me and see how it works.

Just now, a single breath brought me a vast increase in spiritual power, and the speed at which it devoured spiritual Qi was astounding.

I wonder if it can improve my strength when I actually cultivate with it?

With that thought.

Lin Tian laid out everything the system had rewarded him with.

He casually tossed some useless things aside.

Within a few breaths, he arrived in his house.

He calmed his mind and sat cross-legged on a stone slab.

With a thought, he immediately set the Primordial Grand Dao True Scripture into motion.

As Lin Tian breathed in and out.

Countless streams of power gathered in his primordial spirit in an instant.

The spiritual Qi for countless miles around, in an exceedingly subtle manner.

Quickly drifted toward Lin Tian's location.

The disturbance, however, was minuscule, just like the normal flow of spiritual Qi.

Such a subtle change, even a saint.

Might not have noticed it.

But.

Though this fluctuation of power was subtle and concealed.

It filled Lin Tian's primordial spirit at an astonishing rate.

The pure spiritual Qi strengthened Lin Tian's primordial spirit.

His physical body began to change dramatically.

Lin Tian's imposing presence rose steadily at that moment.

Middle Earth Immortal Stage, Peak Earth Immortal Stage!

Thud!

After Lin Tian's presence easily broke through to the Peak Earth Immortal Stage.

A piercing, muffled groan suddenly erupted from the surface of his body.

Then.

A pale white wave of light rippled rapidly outward with Lin Tian at its center.

Lin Tian's advance was like a hot knife through bamboo.

In one fell swoop, he passed the Peak Earth Immortal Stage and entered the Early Heavenly Immortal Stage.

But Lin Tian did not stop, remaining seated cross-legged where he was.

He showed no intention of getting up.

His presence remained powerful, and the power within him slowly increased with every breath he took.

Time flew by.

A day slowly flowed past.

Early the next morning.

Lin Tian, who had been sitting motionless for so long, stirred and suddenly exhaled deeply.

"Phew!"

The instant his presence stabilized at the Middle Heavenly Immortal Stage.

Lin Tian's eyes snapped open.

An inscrutable look flashed through them.

The cultivation technique the system gave me really is unfathomable.

In just one day, it let me cross an entire major realm directly from the Earth Immortal realm and attain the Heavenly Immortal Dao fruit.

In the past, even if I spent a hundred years, I couldn't have made such tremendous progress.

If I devote myself to devouring spiritual Qi, perhaps I can break through to Golden Immortal in the shortest possible time.

Once I attain the Golden Immortal Dao fruit, I'll have at least some ability to protect myself in the Primordial World during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.

Lin Tian murmured to himself, but he felt somewhat hesitant.

But if I rashly devour spiritual Qi and Sect Master Tongtian discovers my heaven-spanning, earth-weaving talent and wants to bring me into the Interception Sect...

Then I won't be able to avoid the Investiture of the Gods Calamity even if I want to...

At its heart, the whole Investiture of the Gods Calamity was caused by the Chan Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals, and Yuanshi Tianzun's favoritism toward his own people is what brought it about.

Add all the various schemes to that, and the Interception Sect is at a disadvantage.

If I join the Interception Sect in my current state, I'll probably only be cannon fodder.

At that thought, Lin Tian sighed and decided not to continue cultivating.

He still needed to keep a lower profile.

After a few days, he could devour spiritual Qi again and improve his cultivation.

With that thought.

Lin Tian slowly stood up.

His improved strength had also changed his senses and awareness.

When he started walking, not only was everything around him exceptionally clear.

Within a two-kilometer radius of Lin Tian's location.

He could clearly sense fluctuations in presence.

Within his primordial spirit, power more vigorous and surging than an Earth Immortal's kept rushing forth.

It made Lin Tian feel as though he had inexhaustible strength.

Sensing these changes in his body.

Lin Tian could not help feeling a little pleased.

Just the Heavenly Immortal realm brought such tremendous changes.

Then what about Golden Immortal, Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, and Daluo Golden Immortal?

Thinking this, Lin Tian could not help feeling a little anticipation.

But just as Lin Tian was thinking this.

A system notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

[Dear host, a new day has been detected. You have not yet written a diary entry]

[Host, do you intend to write a diary entry now?]

[If you wish to do so, please take out the Grand Dao Diary Book and the Great Dao Writing Brush and write your entry]

[Once you finish the entry, your corresponding reward will be issued]

Lin Tian was slightly startled when he heard the system's voice.

This diary really is miraculous. I can write in it every day?

Doesn't that mean I can get a corresponding reward every day just by writing an entry?

At the thought, Lin Tian could not help feeling a little delighted.

Without hesitation, he went over to the stone slab.

He picked up the Great Dao Writing Brush with his right hand and opened the Great Dao Diary with his left.

He turned past the first page he had already filled.

He intended to write a diary entry.

But Lin Tian did not put brush to paper for a long time.

Staring at the fresh sheet of xuan paper, Lin Tian found he did not know what to write.

Last time, I wrote that Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal would betray the Interception Sect. This time, should I continue analyzing the Interception Sect's traitors?

Perhaps Tongtian might happen to see the diary someday and stop all this in time.

That was what Lin Tian thought, but he also felt the idea was rather absurd.

He shook his head helplessly and sighed.

After briefly gathering his thoughts.

Lin Tian wrote a lengthy diary entry in the Great Dao Diary.

Before long.

Lin Tian finished writing.

The moment he put down the Great Dao Writing Brush.

A system notification immediately sounded in his mind.

[Ding-dong]

[Congratulations, host. You have received a reward]

[Host, would you like to claim it immediately?]

Hearing the system's voice.

Lin Tian could not help feeling delighted.

The system really does keep its word. It issued a reward as soon as I finished my entry?

I wonder what the reward will be this time?

At least don't give me any more of those strange, fucking useless things...

Lin Tian grumbled inwardly, then said without hesitation.

"Claim it immediately."

As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking.

The system's voice rang out.

[Rewarding host: tea ceremony, Dao of chess, Dao of the zither, and calligraphy x level 99999]

[Notice: host, please keep up the good work, write more diary entries, and grow stronger soon]

When the system finished speaking.

A mysterious sensation was suddenly released from the space in front of Lin Tian, just before the spot between his brows!

Thud!

A muffled sound suddenly rang out.

A wave of light visible to the naked eye spread outward, centered on the spot between his brows.

It dissipated again in the blink of an eye.

Then.

Lin Tian felt his primordial spirit churn.

A vast amount of information flooded into his consciousness.

In an instant, he mastered all knowledge of the Dao of the zither, calligraphy, tea ceremony, and Dao of chess.

Before long.

Lin Tian's primordial spirit gradually settled down.

But.

As for the system's reward this time.

Lin Tian did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Well.

He had gotten excited for nothing.

He had thought it would casually give him a Chaos Bead, a God-Slaying Spear, or something like that.

At the very least, it should have raised his strength to level 9999!

And this was what he got?

What use was level 9999 in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting?

Could it get him safely through the Investiture of the Gods Calamity?
