"Numb!"
Inside the Xiao Family's A-grade No. 1 secret cultivation room in Utan City, Chu Xiao sat cross-legged on a futon, holding an ancient, purplish-gold notebook in his hand, his handsome face filled with speechlessness.
This notebook had appeared in his mind without warning when he was arguing with Nalan Yanran, which made him so agitated that he said a few more words, even making her cry.
He had initially thought it was some Chaos Supreme Treasure, a Heaven-Defying treasure like a heavenly book, but the words on the cover shattered his illusion.
[Chu Xiao's notebook (Diary)]
As the name suggested, this was a notebook for him to write a diary.
But who, as a proper person, would write a diary for no reason?
He had only done such a thing when he was in primary school in his previous life.
"I really Transmigrated for nothing. My cheat isn't some System, nor a Chaos Supreme Treasure, but a fresh and unconventional diary. Is this the Heavenly Dao's punishment for me, a master with numerous figurines?"
Chu Xiao couldn't help but inwardly complain.
If there was any change brought by his Transmigration, it was probably turning Xiao Yanzi from a fellow countryman into a native, and preventing his aunt from dying early due to difficult childbirth, instead becoming the Xiao Family's only remaining Dou Ling combat power, though she was severely injured and could only be hidden as a trump card.
"Since the cheat is here, I might as well take a look."
Chu Xiao opened the diary and saw a pile of text.
It was the diary's "foreword."
[One: When the host writes the first character in the diary, the diary is activated by default. After fulfilling hidden conditions, diary copies will be distributed to certain people.]
Chu Xiao: ?
I'll walk a six alone.
Not only did it require him to write a diary, but there were also hidden conditions that couldn't be disclosed to him.
And after fulfilling the hidden conditions, it would even create a copy for certain people.
So, whose cheat was this exactly?
[Two: After the diary copies are distributed, the owner gains a character binding function (can bind once daily). Successfully binding a diary copy owner allows for a random acquisition of one of their talents, martial arts, Cultivation Techniques, secret techniques, etc. (refreshes once per person per year). If the binder does not possess a diary copy, the binding fails (binding attempts cannot accumulate).]
"Oh, really?"
Chu Xiao changed his sitting posture, his eyes shifting.
The "bindable" function was interesting.
Assuming all his wives had diary copies.
Little Fairy Doctor had the Cursed Poison Body, Cao Ying had eight-grade Alchemist experience, Xun Er had the Jin Di Fen Tian Yan (Golden Emperor Burning Flame) and Dou Di Bloodline ancient clan Fighting Skills Cultivation Techniques, etc., Zi Yan had the Ancient Void Dragon Physique and spatial mastery...
"A bit interesting. If I activate the diary, I'll have to figure out how to trigger the hidden conditions so I can choose the right targets to see my diary." Chu Xiao instantly changed his mind, feeling an urge to start writing the diary immediately.
As for proper people not writing diaries.
"I'm someone who doesn't date, and my home is full of life-sized figurines of 3D anime female characters. I'm not a proper person to begin with."
"This diary is a perfect match for me, alright."
[Three: Daily updates required (can self-record insights during Cultivation). Weekly total word count must exceed a thousand. Upon meeting the standard, the host will receive equivalent gains from the past seven days of Cultivation (including but not limited to Dou Qi, Fighting Skill experience, Physical Body tempering gains, secret technique Cultivation experience, Alchemy experience).]
"What a great ability!"
Chu Xiao felt this diary was so fragrant.
This was equivalent to him having a twofold cheat on his talent!
Whether it was Cultivating Dou Qi, learning Fighting Skills, or tempering his Physical Body, he could double his gains every seven days.
If this doubling effect was utilized well, especially when he was Breaking Through a Bottleneck, the effect would be far more than a simple one plus one equals two.
[Four: Continuously meeting diary writing standards for a certain number of days grants a lottery draw. Every seven days grants one Earth-Grade lottery draw (accumulative). Every full month grants a Profound-Grade lottery draw. Every four full months grants an Earth-Grade lottery draw. Every full year grants a Heaven-Grade lottery draw. Every four full years grants one Supreme-Grade lottery draw, including but not limited to Fighting Skills Cultivation Techniques, Spiritual Artifacts Divine Artifacts Sacred Artifacts, talents Physiques, etc. (Once strength reaches Supreme, the lottery mechanism will change).]
"Supreme? A strengthened version of Dou Di in the Major Thousand Worlds!"
Chu Xiao understood; this cheat would "upgrade" once he changed maps.
It could be used entirely as a lottery System, except that the lottery opportunities had to be exchanged by persistently writing the diary every day.
No need to read further; he absolutely had to write this diary.
[Five: After starting the diary, gain a shattered Dou Di space (a Secret Realm of a certain Dou Di Family destroyed by the Soul Devouring Clan in the past, similar to the Ancient Realm, Soul Realm; its entrance cannot be discovered by non-Dou Saint experts, and cannot be forcibly opened by non-Dou Di experts). Gain the firmament chart's attention, and Luck and Comprehension Ability increase.]
"Soul Devouring Clan, tsk." Chu Xiao was not unfamiliar with information about this clan.
After the Dou Qi Continent lost its source Qi and the path to the Major Thousand Worlds, there were still many Dou Di Families initially, but now only seven remain. The main reasons, besides the Dou Di Bloodline depleting over time, were that this Soul Devouring Clan could devour the Bloodline of Dou Di Families to sustain themselves, ultimately leading to a great war.
The corpse of the Soul Devouring Clan Chief was obtained by the Soul Clan, and finally devoured by the Void Swallowing Flame, inheriting the Soul Devouring Clan's abilities.
"Dou Di space, as long as no Dou Di appears, I will have a retreat."
"Increased Luck, doesn't that make me the Child of Luck, or even the Child of Heavenly Dao!?"
Chu Xiao, of course, knew the firmament chart; it could be said to be the manifestation of the Major Thousand Worlds' Heavenly Dao. Those whose names appeared on the chart could step into the Dominator Realm.
It felt somewhat like a low-tier version of Hong Jun's Dao Union in the Primordial Era, and also a high-tier version of being bestowed divinity on the Investiture of the Gods list with one's Physical Body.
Chu Xiao looked at the sixth rule, or rather, the remark.
[Note: The decision to activate the diary rests with the host. Once activated, the content written is determined by the host, but characters and locations cannot be fabricated. Even if this diary is not activated, the host can visualize it in their mind daily, which can, to some extent, passively increase Soul power without side effects!]
"Visualization, is it like the Chaos Divine Mill Visualization Diagram from the Heaven Source Realm?"
"That's more like it. The initiative to write or not is with me, and the initiative to get more benefits is with me."
"But even if I don't write, I should still get benefits."
At this moment, Chu Xiao was no longer confused.
His brother Yan had a different core, and although he still followed the old path of the annulment-of-engagement and Trash-rising-up trope, it was uncertain if he could definitely become a Dou Di in the future.
The Soul Clan's strength was too great. Once the Void Swallowing Flame possessed an Emperor Realm Soul, coupled with the special abilities obtained from the Soul Devouring Clan, it wouldn't even fear challenging the other six ancient Emperor Families directly.
Without the Tusha Ancient Emperor Jade, the Soul Clan would still dominate the Dou Qi Continent, and the Xiao Family would surely be annihilated, so he had to rise.
Wanting to win effortlessly was good, but one must still be strong oneself.
After his parents passed away, he grew up utilizing the Xiao Family's resources and under Xiao Zhan's upbringing.
If he didn't repay this kindness and only considered himself, how would he be different from Nalan Yanran?
"Then I'll write a diary, but how to write it is the problem."
Chu Xiao frowned, holding the diary.
He had no interest in being spied on, nor did he want to livestream his life.
And he wasn't sure who would get the copy; if Soul Heavenly Emperor got a copy...
"I can't write, but can't I make things up? As long as the place names and character names aren't fake, it's fine."
As a struggling web novelist in his previous life, Chu Xiao was best at making up small stories, and he quickly had an idea.
[I, actually Reborn!?]
[Hearing brother Yan's roar, countless chaotic and fragmented memories suddenly appeared in my mind, both familiar and strange.]
[It feels like a dream, but all experiences are so real, so real that it frightens me.]
[Xun Er, Cai Lin, Little Fairy Doctor, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, what should they do?]
When Chu Xiao mentioned the names of Gu Xun'er and others in his diary, countless diary copies appeared out of thin air across the Dou Qi Continent.
In the Gama Empire's Eastern Province, near Stone Desert City in the Tagor Desert, beneath the desert lay a magnificent underground lava world.
The lava began to surge, and beneath the endless red light, an extremely enchanting figure appeared.
"I finally found you."
