“I’m speechless!” Inside the practice room of the Xiao Clan’s ‘A-Grade No.
1’ secret chamber, Chu Xiao sat cross-legged on a futon, holding a primitive, purple-gold notebook.
His handsome face was full of exasperation.
This notebook had appeared in his mind without warning while he was rebuking Nalan Yanran.
That distraction was actually why he had gotten worked up and scolded her until she cried.
He had thought it was some Primordial Treasure or a Heavenly Book, but the words on the cover shattered his fantasies.
[Chu Xiao’s Journal (Diary)] As the name suggested, it was a notebook for him to write a diary.
But who, among decent men, would go around writing a diary?
He had only done that kind of thing back in primary school in his past life.
“I really transmigrated for nothing.
My cheat isn’t a system or a Primordial Treasure, but a refreshingly unconventional diary.
Is this the Heavenly Dao’s punishment for me owning so many life-sized figures?” Chu Xiao couldn’t help but complain internally.
If his transmigration had brought any change, it was likely making Little Yan a native rather than a fellow transmigrator, and ensuring his aunt didn’t die during labor.
Instead, she had become the Xiao Clan’s only Dou Ling-level combatant, though she remained hidden as a trump card due to lingering injuries.
“Since the cheat is here, I might as well take a look.” Chu Xiao opened the diary and saw a wall of text.
It was the “Preface.” [1.
When the host writes the first word in the diary, the diary is activated by default.
After meeting hidden conditions, diary copies will be distributed to certain individuals.] Chu Xiao: ?
I’ll just say ‘wow.’ Not only did he have to write a diary, but there were hidden conditions he couldn’t see.
And once met, copies would be given to “certain people.” Seriously, whose cheat was this?
[2.
After copies are distributed, the owner gains the Character Binding function (once per day).
Successfully binding a diary copy holder allows the host to randomly obtain one talent, martial art, technique, or secret method from them (refreshes once per person per year).
If the target does not have a diary copy, the binding fails (attempts do not accumulate).] “Oh?” Chu Xiao shifted his posture, his eyes changing.
This “Binding” function was interesting.
Hypothetically, if all his “waifus” had diary copies…
Xiao Yixian had the Woeful Poison Body; Cao Ying had Tier 8 Alchemist experience; Xun’er had the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame and Dou Di bloodline techniques; Zi Yan had the Ancient Void Dragon physique and spatial mastery…
“Interesting.
If I start the diary, I need to figure out how to trigger those hidden conditions so I can select the right targets to see it.” Chu Xiao’s mind changed instantly; he now felt an urge to start writing.
As for “decent men not writing diaries”…
“I’m a guy who didn’t have a girlfriend and filled his house with 3D anime character figures.
I was never a ‘decent man’ to begin with.” “This diary and I are a perfect match.” [3.
Daily updates are required (insights can be recorded automatically during cultivation).
A weekly total of over a thousand words is required.
Upon reaching the goal, the host receives a duplicate of all progress gained during the past seven days (including but not limited to Dou Qi, technique experience, physical tempering, secret methods, and alchemy experience).] “What a great ability!” Chu Xiao felt the diary was suddenly very “fragrant.” This was essentially a 2x experience multiplier!
Whether it was cultivating Dou Qi, learning techniques, or tempering his body, everything would double once every seven days.
If timed correctly with a bottleneck breakthrough, the effect wouldn’t just be 1+1=2.
[4.
Maintaining the diary for a certain number of days allows for lucky draws.
Every 7 days earns a Yellow-grade draw (stackable).
Every month earns a Black-grade draw.
Every four months earns an Earth-grade draw.
Every year earns a Heaven-grade draw.
Every four years earns a Supreme-grade draw.
Prizes include but are not limited to techniques, spiritual/divine/holy artifacts, talents, and physiques (the draw mechanism will change once strength reaches the Supreme level).] “Supreme?
The Great Thousand World’s version of a Dou Di!” Chu Xiao understood.
This cheat would “level up” when he changed maps.
It could be used as a gacha system, but the currency was daily consistency.
He had to write it.
[5.
Upon starting the diary, the host gains a fragmented Dou Di Space (a secret realm of a Dou Di clan destroyed by the Soul Devourers, similar to the Gu or Soul Realms.
The entrance cannot be found by those below Dou Sheng, and it cannot be forced open by those below Dou Di).
Gain the attention of the Heavenly Ranking (Cangqiong Bang); Luck and Comprehension increased.] “Soul Devourers…
tsk.” Chu Xiao was familiar with this information.
After the Dou Qi Continent lost Origin Qi and the path to the Great Thousand World, several Dou Di clans existed at first, but now only seven remained.
Aside from bloodlines thinning over time, the main reason was that the Soul Devourers could swallow bloodlines to sustain themselves, eventually triggering a great war.
The corpse of the Soul Devourer Patriarch was obtained by the Soul Clan and eventually swallowed by the Nihility Devouring Flame, which inherited their abilities.
“A Dou Di Space.
As long as a Dou Di doesn’t appear, I have a way out.” “Increase Luck…
then wouldn’t I be a Child of Fortune, or even a Child of the Heavenly Dao!?” Chu Xiao knew about the Heavenly Ranking.
It was essentially the manifestation of the Great Thousand World’s Heavenly Dao; those who left their names on it could step into the Ruler Realm.
He looked at the sixth rule—or rather, a note.
[Note: The decision to open the diary rests with the host.
Once opened, the content is decided by the host, but persons and locations cannot be fabricated.
Even if the diary is not opened, the host can visualize it in his mind daily to increase Soul Power with zero side effects while lying down!] “Visualization?
Like the Chaos Divine Grindstone from the Yuan World?” “That’s more like it.
The initiative is in my hands.
I decide if I want the benefits.” At this moment, Chu Xiao’s confusion vanished.
His cousin Xiao Yan had “changed cores” (being a native now).
Although he was still on the path of the “trash-tier rising” trope, it wasn’t certain he would become a Dou Di in the future.
The Soul Clan was too strong.
Once the Nihility Devouring Flame reached the Di State Soul, backed by the special abilities of the Soul Devourers, they wouldn’t even fear the other six ancient clans.
Even without the Tou She Ancient God Jade, the Soul Clan would dominate the continent, and the Xiao Clan would be destroyed.
Therefore, he had to rise.
Slacking off was fine, but a blacksmith must be strong himself.
After his parents passed, he had grown up using the Xiao Clan’s resources under Xiao Zhan’s care.
If he didn’t repay this and only thought of himself, how would he be any different from Nalan Yanran?
“Then I’ll write.
But how to write is the question.” Chu Xiao frowned.
He had no interest in being watched, nor did he want to livestream his life.
And since he didn’t know who would get the copies—what if Hun Tiandi got one?
“I can’t lie about names or places, but who says I can’t ‘creative-write’ the rest?” As a failed web novelist in his past life, Chu Xiao was an expert at spinning stories.
He quickly had an idea.
[I…
actually reincarnated!?] [Hearing that roar from Brother Yan, countless messy, fragmented memories suddenly filled my mind.
They are both familiar and strange.] [It feels like a dream, yet every experience is so real—so real it terrifies me.] [Xun’er, Cai Lin, Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan, Qing Lin…
what should they do?] As Chu Xiao mentioned the names of Gu Xun’er and the others in the diary, countless diary copies appeared out of thin air across the Dou Qi Continent.
In the eastern provinces of the Jia Ma Empire, near Rock Desert City in the Tager Desert, a magnificent underground world of molten lava existed beneath the sands.
The lava began to churn.
Amidst the endless red glow, an extremely seductive figure appeared.
