Awakening Daily Intelligence Panel, Grind to Become a True Immortal

The sound of dripping water could be heard clearly in the cave. Qin Wang carefully lifted Xu Xian up, placed his palm on his back, and channeled the last wisp of his magic power into him. A trace of blood appeared on Xu Xian's pale face, and he opened his eyes with difficulty.

"Junior brother." He was barely breathing, but he held Qin Wang's wrist tightly. "Qingyuan Ancient Road. Do not enter lightly, but you must..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Xian suddenly coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. Qin Wang then realized that a strange black aura was lingering around his wound—the remnant of Wei Wuxian's sword energy!

"Brother, don't talk. I will help you heal your wounds first." Qin Wang hurriedly took out the pills from the storage bag.

Xu Xian shook his head and pushed it away: "It's too late. Listen carefully." He trembled and took out a piece of bronze fragment from his arms. "This is the third level of the Key Ancient Road. It was left by Master Youfang."

The words stopped abruptly. Xu Xian's hand drooped limply, and the bronze fragment tumbled to the ground with a crisp sound. Qin Wang stood there in shock. The Soul Gathering Tower in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled violently, and a golden teardrop shed from the ninth layer of the severed palm!
The teardrop passed through the tower and landed between Xu Xian's eyebrows. In an instant, dense golden lines appeared all over Xu Xian's body, and the black energy at the wound melted away like snow in the scorching sun.

"This is..." Qin Wang watched in shock as Xu Xian's breathing gradually stabilized. Even more incredible was that the speed at which the "Great Celestial Art" within his body automatically operated suddenly increased by more than ten times!
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air could be heard outside the cave. Qin Wang alertly gathered up the bronze fragments, lifted Xu Xian onto his back, and dodged into a crevice. Three figures descended from the sky, their leader being none other than Xing Tian!
At this moment, the axe-shaped mark on Xing Tian's forehead became clearer, and he exuded a suffocating pressure. Behind him followed two black-robed men, both of whom had the aura of the Daluo realm.

"Search!" Xing Tian said coldly, "That kid definitely can't get far. We must get the Soul Gathering Tower. This is an order from the leader himself."

Qin Wang held his breath, a wave of shock rising in his heart - Sect Leader? When did Xing Tian join what sect? And he could actually command Daluo monks!
After the three men had left, Qin Wang carefully emerged from the crevice. Xu Xian was still unconscious, but his breathing had calmed down considerably. He removed the bronze fragment and examined it carefully, discovering a half-map engraved on it. The outline of the Qingyuan Ancient Road was faintly discernible.

"It seems I have to go there," Qin Wang muttered to himself.

Three days later, on the outskirts of Qingyuan Ancient Road.

Qin Wang placed Xu Xian in a hidden cave, set up a protective formation, and then came alone. However, the scene before him made his heart sink—teams of monks were stationed at the entrance to the ancient road, their flags embroidered with blood-red lotus patterns.

"The Rebirth Sect?" Qin Wang recalled the records he had read in ancient books. This was a cult that believed in the Chaos Demon God. It was wiped out by all the major sects ten thousand years ago, but now it has revived!
Just as he was thinking about a solution, a subtle noise suddenly came from behind him. Qin Wang turned around abruptly, only to see an unexpected figure - the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens!
Her clothes were torn and her left arm was missing, but her eyes were still sharp. "It's you," she sneered. "I knew you would come here."

Qin Wang cautiously summoned the Soul Gathering Tower: "What do you want?"

The Lady of the Nine Heavens threw a jade slip over and said, "Take a look at this first."

The jade slip contained a video: After the destruction of the wilderness, the leader of the Rebirth Sect appeared and subdued all the survivors, including Xing Tian and Dong Huang Tai Yi! Even more terrifying, the final scene showed Wen Qu Xing Jun imprisoned in a blood-red cage.
"Wenquxingjun is not dead?" Qin Wang said in shock.

"Not only is he not dead, but the Lord of Rebirth also intends to use him for some kind of ritual," the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden gritted her teeth. "Three days later, on the night of the lunar eclipse, they will open the 'Gate of Return to the Ruins' at the deepest part of the Azure Origin Ancient Road."

Qin Wang suddenly remembered Xu Xian's words and the map on the bronze fragment, and everything seemed to connect: "So you are here..."

"Cooperation." Jiu Tian Xuan Nu looked directly at Qin Wang, "I know that the Soul Gathering Tower is in your hands, and what the Rebirth Sect Leader wants is the thing sealed in the tower. We can..."

Before she could finish her words, a devastating explosion erupted at the entrance to the ancient path! A streak of blood-red light shot up into the sky, and the three bright moons in the sky were simultaneously stained with blood.
"Not good!" Jiu Tian Xuan Nu's face changed drastically. "The ceremony has been moved forward!"

Qin Wang looked towards the bloody light and suddenly felt the bronze fragment in his arms get hot. Even more bizarre was that the severed palm on the ninth floor of the Soul Gathering Tower had actually formed a mysterious seal on its own!
Blood-red light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire Qingyuan Ancient Road like a purgatory. The bronze fragment in Qin Wang's hand grew hotter and hotter, leaving a strange rune mark on his palm.

"Is this the fragment of the Key to Guixu?" Jiu Tian Xuan Nu stared at Qin Wang's palm, a trace of greed flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly suppressed. "It seems Fang Yantian had anticipated this day a long time ago."

Qin Wang activated the Great Celestial Art, barely resisting the burning pain brought by the runes: "How much do you know?"

Just as the Lady of the Nine Heavens was about to speak, a deafening roar erupted from the entrance to the ancient path. The followers of the Rebirth Sect stationed there swelled up, transforming into three-foot-tall, blood-soaked monsters, and frantically pounced upon the suddenly appearing group of golden-armored monks.

"The Immortal Court's Golden Guards!" The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's pupils suddenly shrank. "Even the Heavenly Court has intervened?"

Qin Wang keenly noticed that the golden-armored monks all had dragon patterns embroidered on their chests—they were Long Wuji's men! It seemed that the survivors of the secret realm had already chosen their own sides.

"There's no time." Jiu Tian Xuan Nu grabbed Qin Wang's wrist. "I know a secret passage. We must enter the third level of the ancient road before the lunar eclipse reaches its peak!"

The two took advantage of the chaos to sneak in. The inner walls of the secret passage were covered with blood-red vines, each one wriggling as if alive. Qin Wang discovered that these vines had grown from the golden liquid seeping from the cracks in the rock.

"Is this... divine blood?" Qin Wang looked at the golden liquid flowing in the gullies on the ground in shock. "How could there be such a thing in the Qingyuan Ancient Road?"

"Why do you think this place is forbidden?" Jiu Tian Xuan Nu sneered, "In ancient times, this was the Heavenly Palace's God-Slaying Platform!"

The secret passage suddenly opened up, revealing a vast underground cavern. In its center stood a massive bronze gate, carved with scenes of the myriad races of the ancient world paying homage. But now, the gate had been cracked, and thick black fog was pouring out.

Dozens of figures stood before the gate. Xing Tian and Dong Huang Tai Yi stood on either side. On the central platform, a figure draped in a blood-red cloak chanted an ancient incantation. With each verse, three chained monks exploded, their blood transforming into runes that merged with the bronze gate.

"Master of the Rebirth Sect." The voice of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady trembled, "He actually used the blood of 360 Daluo seeds as a sacrifice!"

Qin Wang suddenly understood where the monks who hadn't escaped the bloody wasteland had gone. Even more terrifying, he saw Zhang Youren and Guan Hui among the blood sacrifice crowd!

"Leave the rescue to me." The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden suddenly handed Qin Wang a jade pendant. "This is made from the Pure World White Lotus I brought from the bottom of the Cursed Lake. It can temporarily suppress the anomalies of the Soul Gathering Tower. You must take advantage of the chaos to enter the third level and find the message left by Fang Yantian..." Before she could finish speaking, the top of the cave suddenly exploded! A dazzling sword light poured down like a celestial river, and the God of Literature broke free of his seal, his long sword aimed directly at the Lord of Rebirth: "You wicked creature! How dare you desecrate the Void!"

A fierce battle erupted instantly. Qin Wang seized the opportunity to rush towards the bronze gate, but Xing Tian suddenly intercepted him, the axe-shaped mark on his forehead illuminating: "Leave behind the Soul Gathering Tower!"

Qin Wang rushed to fight, only to discover that Xing Tian's power was several times greater than in the secret realm. With a single blow, his entire right arm was shattered, and the Soul Gathering Tower flew out of his hand!
"Hahaha!" Xing Tian laughed wildly and grabbed the pagoda. "With Pangu's inheritance and the power of Guixu, I will be the king of the new era."

His voice suddenly stopped. The ninth floor of the Soul Gathering Tower suddenly opened on its own. The severed palm flew out of the air and pressed down on the axe-shaped mark on Xing Tian's forehead!

"Ah!" Xing Tian let out a scream that was not human, and his flesh and blood melted like wax. Even more terrifying was that the axe-shaped mark was dug out by the severed palm, crushed into tiny specks of golden light, and absorbed into the palm!

This scene shocked the entire audience. The Rebirth Sect Leader suddenly turned his head, and a hoarse roar came from under his cloak: "Finally, I found you, traitor!"

The severed palm hovered in the air, five fingers spread out, pointing at the bronze door. The giant door, which had been slowly opening, suddenly burst open, and the wailing of thousands of demons could be heard from the black fog!
The "Great Celestial Art" in Qin Wang's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly reversed itself, transforming into a brand new technique - the "Chaos Tribulation Sutra"! At the same time, the runes on his palm resonated with the bronze door, and a message flooded into his mind:
It turns out that sealed behind the Guixu Gate are the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods suppressed by Pangu during the dawn of time. And the owner of the severed hand in the Soul Gathering Tower is the one who betrayed the Chaos faction and led to the Demon Gods' defeat.
"The fourth Chaos Supreme!" The Rebirth Sect Leader shouted enthusiastically, "Welcome the Holy Ancestor back!"

The Broken Palm suddenly changed direction and slapped the Rebirth Sect Leader with one palm! The terrifying force directly shattered the blood-red cloak, revealing the face underneath that made Qin Wang shudder.

It’s Mokowu!
Mokowu's face twisted and distorted as his cloak shattered, and dense black scales emerged from beneath his skin. He raised his hand to block the palm strike, but his arm broke into pieces like a dead branch.

"Holy Ancestor, what do you mean?" Mokuwu's voice was hoarse, and what flowed out of his broken arm was not blood, but sticky black mist.

The severed palm floated in the air, a chaotic aura flowing between the five fingers, and it actually sketched a line of ancient divine text in the void:

[You are falsely trusting and trying to steal Guixu]

The Chaos Tribulation Sutra in Qin Wang's sea of ​​consciousness automatically activated, allowing him to instantly understand the meaning of the divine text. What shocked him even more was that as the technique was activated, a mysterious connection was established between him and his severed palm - as if it was a long-lost part of himself!

Mokou suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "I understand! The Fourth Supreme who betrayed the Chaos faction back then actually stripped away his 'humanity' and sealed it within this severed hand!" His mutilated body began to swell, "And your true form has long since..."

With a sudden clench of his broken palm, Moko Wu's words came to an abrupt halt. His body cracked like pottery, and a dazzling golden light burst out from the cracks. Seeing this, Wenquxingjun's face changed drastically: "Oh no! He's going to self-destruct!"

"boom--!"

A terrifying energy surge swept through the entire cave. Qin Wang felt a tremendous force pushing him toward the massive bronze gate, and he was about to fall into the endless black fog. At the critical moment, the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens swung out a white silk silk and wrapped it around his waist, "Hold on!"

Countless pitch-black tentacles suddenly extended from the bronze door, grabbing Qin Wang's limbs and dragging him inside. Broken Palm flew over quickly, severing the tentacles with one palm, but was also dragged and slid into the door.

"No!" Qin Wang, feeling the urge from nowhere, actually grabbed the severed palm with his backhand. The moment they made contact, a dusty memory rushed into his mind like a flood.

Before the beginning of the universe, four supreme beings existed within the chaos. Three advocated destruction and rebirth, while one, foreseeing the eventual annihilation of chaos, secretly aided Pangu in creating the universe. When Pangu's strength was exhausted, this supreme being severed one of his own palms, injecting his life's cultivation into the new universe.
"So, this is the truth!" Qin Wang's heart was shaken. Suddenly, his severed palm glowed with golden light, transforming into a stream of light that sank into his brow. Instantly, Qin Wang's aura surged, and the Chaos Tribulation Sutra and the Great Celestial Immortal Art within him merged perfectly, condensing a Chaos Golden Pill in his dantian!
An angry roar emanated from within the bronze door, and the black mist condensed into a giant face: "Traitor! How dare you choose this ant as your carrier?!"

Wenquxingjun took the opportunity to throw his long sword, and the sword body burst into a dazzling white light: "The gate of Guixu must be closed! Qin Wang, use the Pure World White Lotus!"

Upon hearing this, Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu gritted her teeth and crushed the jade pendant in her hand. A translucent white lotus blossomed and floated towards Qin Wang. The moment he caught it, the lotus transformed into a stream of light and merged into the Chaos Golden Pill. The once violent power suddenly became as gentle as a stream.

"So that's how it is. The Pure White Lotus is the key to balancing the power of chaos." Qin Wang suddenly had an idea, and he formed seals with his hands, and the Chaos Golden Pill spun and flew towards the bronze door.

"No!" the giant face in the black mist screamed and twisted, but it could not withstand the purifying power contained in the golden elixir. The bronze door began to slowly close, and countless tentacles retracted as if struck by lightning.

Just as the door was about to close, a bloody figure suddenly rushed out—it was Donghuang Taiyi! He held a beating heart in his hand and rushed towards Qin Wang with a sinister grin: "The Heart of the Holy Ancestor is mine!"

The golden light transformed from the severed palm suddenly shot out from between Qin Wang's eyebrows, piercing directly through Donghuang Taiyi's chest. The heart fell to the ground and turned into a bronze plate engraved with runes.

Wenquxingjun was quick-witted and grabbed the bronze plate. "Is this a fragment of the Great Rule of the Primordial World?!"

As the bronze door closed completely, the cave returned to peace. The surviving followers of the Rebirth Sect disappeared into black smoke, while the imprisoned monks gradually regained consciousness.

The Lady of the Nine Heavens staggered to Qin Wang's front with a complicated expression: "Who are you now?"

Qin Wang looked inward and found that the Chaos Golden Pill had been formed, and the broken palm had transformed into a golden pattern wrapped around it. He looked up at the ray of light from the top of the cave and said softly:
"I am both Qin Wang and the successor chosen by the Fourth Supreme."

In the distance, Zhang Youren was walking towards them, supporting Guan Hui. Both of them were injured, but their lives were not in danger. Wenquxingjun stroked the bronze plate and suddenly said, "The catastrophe is coming, but this fragment of the heavenly rule may be able to..."

Before he finished speaking, a teleportation array suddenly lit up beneath everyone's feet. An old voice rang out in Qin Wang's ears: "Boy, it's time to return and complete the apprenticeship ceremony."

Qin Wang was taken aback—that voice was clearly Fang Yantian! (End of Chapter)
