Lie Tian stretched out his hand and grabbed the third booklet. He flipped it open and took a look.
Suddenly, his head trembled.
"The combination of heaven and earth, and yin and yang, is a perfect Dao? In the Heavenly Sun World, the Great Dao is filled with Yang while Yin is weak, so the Great Dao is incomplete?"
At this very moment, Lie Tian recalled the words that person had said to him after he created his Dao.
She told him to go to the chaos once he had the opportunity to do so.
Back then, Lie Tian had thought that she wanted him to barge into the forbidden zone, but now it seemed that she was nudging him toward a certain secret.
Was the Dao he had created actually incomplete? Was it flawed?
Lie Tian was in a daze.
He realized that he only had a smattering of knowledge about the Dao Creation realm.
In fact, most of the Dao Creation realm experts in the Heavenly Sun World were probably the same.
As he continued to read, Lie Tian suddenly trembled.
This booklet actually recorded it!
It recorded how to recover from a collapsed Dao!
This made him extremely excited.
There was hope for his recovery!
He could reach the Dao Creation realm again, and this time he would create a perfect Dao!
He would definitely be stronger.
He continued to read, but then discovered that he could read no further.
There was something hindering his sight.
Lie Tian was dumbfounded and rushed out of the pavilion with the booklet in hand, startling Yi Lingling on the way down.
"Eh, Senior Lie Tian? What's going on?"
"What's next? Why can't I see the text after this page?" Lie Tian frantically asked Chu Xuan as he gestured toward the booklet.
Chu Xuan simply replied nonchalantly, "All you have is your head. Since you don't have the rest of your body, you can't read the rest of the booklet?"
Huh?
What kind of logic was this?
"Sect Master, I'm also from the Xuan Gate sect, and was once a Dao Creation realm expert. I should be qualified to see the rest, right?"
Lie Tian was so anxious that he was pacing around the courtyard.
"You've lost this time, right?"
"Yes, yes, I admit defeat."
Lie Tian nodded.
"That's good."
Chu Xuan stood up and grabbed the booklet.
Then, as Lie Tian looked at him with a puzzled gaze ...
Chu Xuan kicked him in the head, and with a whoosh, Lie Tian flew away.
Lie Tian felt dizzy as his head spun in the air.
He was stunned.
What was going on?
Then, he suddenly remembered that he had lost the best and was going to be kicked around like a ball.
He had been tricked!
However, there was nothing he could do about it.
Lie Tian hurriedly floated back.
"Sect Master, you've already kicked me, so can you let me see the rest of the booklet's content?"
Lie Tian asked with a flattering smile.
"One kick is not enough."
"Then… Sect Master, kick me as hard as you can. The more you kick me, the happier I will be!
Chu Xuan looked at Lie Tian with a strange expression.
The old man was actually so shameless.
It was just a Dao Creation realm manual. Was there a need to go this far?
Then, if he knew that the top floor contained a Dao Supreme manual, would he not shamelessly acknowledge Chu Xuan as his grandfather?
"Old man, what happened to your pride?"
"Pride? What good is that?"
This guy was hopeless.
However, it worked. Chu Xuan threw the booklet to him and said, "Go and look at it then."
Lie Tian was overjoyed and brought the manual back to the pavilion to read.
Occasionally, he would raise his head and glance at the entrance to the highest floor.
His eyes were filled with shock. He had an inkling of what was hidden on that floor.
The Dao Supreme realm manual.
If he could recover his strength, perhaps he too would one day be able to read it and reach the Dao Supreme realm.
Thinking this, he immersed himself in reading the manual.
He did not come out even after Yi Lingling departed the valley and went out for another adventure.
Even Chu Xuan was engrossed in reading the Xuan Gate manual everyday.
A hundred years later, Xue Ping returned, and also entered the pavilion to read manuals for a few years.
...
The Heavenly Sun World was vast and boundless.
However, thanks to the great battle, the Heavenly Sun World suffered tremendous damage and was divided into many smaller sections.
In a section near the center of the Heavenly Sun World, there were countless experts, with many of them being Saint Dao Emperor realm or higher.
The forces of this section knew many secrets of the Heavenly Sun World, and had a better understanding of the world.
There were even ancient forces that had been passed down from the ancient times, though many had declined after the great battle.
There were even rumors that some of their founding members had survived, but were in a state of deep sleep.
Scarlet Cloud Mountain was one of these forces.
At its peak, it had two Dao Creation realm experts. However, it had declined after the great battle, and now kept a low profile, and not many people knew about it.
At this moment, in the secret area of Scarlet Cloud Mountain.
Someone was looking respectfully at a figure sitting cross-legged in a small space.
This was the Scarlet Cloud Mountain's ancestor who had survived from ancient times.
He had remained in seclusion and never left the sect, seeking to break through to the next realm.
"Grandmaster, I heard that the Heavenly Pavilion has already collected five fragments of the Wutian Monument. They are currently chasing after a disciple of the Xuan Gate sect who has one of the fragments."
"Grandmaster, who created the Xuan Gate sect?"
"At present, that sect only has two disciples, but both are monstrously talented, to the point they overshadow the geniuses of the major factions."
"The Xuan Gate sect?"
The old man in the small space was confused.
"Back then, there was no sect with this name. Perhaps it is a new faction."
"Tell me more about the Xuan Gate sect."
…
After hearing more about the Xuan Gate sect, the old man fell silent.
The sect's disciples were extremely powerful, and their cultivation techniques were also extraordinary.
Especially Yi Lingling, who seemed to possess the same specific constitution as a certain Dao Supreme realm expert he knew from the past.
If she grew to her full potential, she would be terrifyingly strong.
For a sect to know of her special constitution, it had to be related to a major force of the Heavenly Sun World, or perhaps even a Dao Supreme realm expert.
"Don't mess with the Xuan Gate sect."
"As for Yi Lingling, if it's within your power, try to assist her."
"No matter what, you can't offend them, understand?"
"Yes, Ancestor!"
The man's expression turned serious.
For the Xuan Gate sect to be treated so seriously by the grandmaster, they had to be extraordinary.
After the man left, the old man sighed.
A long time had passed.
Did all the Heavenly Sun World's experts from back then die?
The master of the chaos was so magnificent that he could suppress the entire Heavenly Sun World.
If it had not been for that person's intervention, the Heavenly Sun World would have already been shattered.
Where did they go?
Had they really all really died?
Now that he thought about it, the great battle back then was extremely unusual.
It was as if someone was manipulating the situation from behind the scenes.
What role did the Wutian Pavilion play in this matter?
"Lie Tian, why did you participate?"
The old man sighed.
Lie Tian was famous, and this old man and Lie Tian were good friends who had once traveled and explored the world together when they were younger. Their relationship did not even change after a gap in cultivation level between them opened up.
Back then, Lie Tian had also participated in that battle. He could have avoided it.
