Awakening Daily Intelligence Panel, Grind to Become a True Immortal

"Go!" Qin Wang shouted, and swept the Sky-Cutting Sword across, opening a way to escape.

Xu Xian and Wenquxingjun gritted their teeth and retreated. Before leaving, Xu Xian injected all the seed energy in his body into Qin Wang's back and said, "Brother, come back alive!"

Qin Wang didn't look back, but only nodded slightly. After everyone else left, he was left alone to face two threats—the Chaos Puppet, which was about to completely collapse, and the Supreme Vessel, which was hatching.

"Since you all like to play dirty tricks," Qin Wang suddenly smiled, a smile that was exactly the same as Fang Yantian's. "Then I'll play a big game with you."

He grasped the Heaven-Cutting Sword with both hands and thrust it into his chest!
The moment the Heaven-Cutting Sword pierced Qin Wang's body, time stood still again. The blade glowed with an unprecedented light, and gray-gold and pitch-black energies coiled around it like spirals.

"The inheritance of the Fourth Supreme, the curse of the Fifth Supreme." Qin Wang's voice became ethereal. "Today, I will use myself as a medium to end both of you!"

He drew his sword, and a drop of gold and black blood emanated from the tip. The drop of blood fell on the Chaos Puppet, and the puppet, already mostly disintegrated, suddenly froze, then melted into a pool of black water like ice and snow.

The second black egg sensed the threat, and all its "eyes" simultaneously turned towards Qin Wang. A crack appeared in the eggshell, revealing not a living creature but a swirling starry sky—the origin space of the Fifth Supreme Being!

"Finally showing up?" Qin Wang sneered, pointing his Heaven-Cutting Sword at the black egg. "Hasn't your plan for eternity been just for this moment?"

A deep laugh emanated from the black egg: "Smart little bug, but you made a mistake."

The eggshell suddenly burst, and the starry sky expanded rapidly, instantly engulfing Qin Wang. As the void shifted, Qin Wang found himself standing in a vast sea of ​​stars, facing a figure identical to him—the only difference being that figure's entire body was pitch black, with a blood-red scar between his eyebrows.

"Welcome to my domain." Dark Qin Wang smiled. "Here, I am the rule."

Qin Wang tried to mobilize his strength, but found that the spiritual power in his body was sluggish, and even the Caitian Sword became extremely heavy.

"Don't waste your energy." Dark Qin Wang paced closer. "Everything here is the opposite. The more you resist, the weaker you will become."

He stretched out his hand and countless chains flew out from the sea of ​​stars, binding Qin Wang tightly. The chains were engraved with tiny runes, each of which was a fragment of Qin Wang's past memory.

"Look at these." Dark Qin Wang stroked the chains gently. "Your fear, your hesitation, your weakness. What delicious nourishment."

Qin Wang struggled, but the more he struggled, the tighter the chains tightened. Even more terrifying, he felt his memories being read—from his childhood training to his transformation into the Heaven-Splitting Sword, every crucial moment was remembered by Dark Qin Wang like the back of his hand.

"What a touching story." Dark Qin Wang closed his eyes in ecstasy. "Especially the part where you sacrificed yourself to seal Chaos. It was so stupid and heartbreaking."

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a red light flashed in his dark pupils: "But do you know? Your so-called sacrifice is just part of the Fourth Supreme's plan!"

Qin Wang's pupils shrank slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand yet?" Dark Qin Wang laughed. "The Fourth Supreme created you to be a vessel—not a vessel to seal me, but a vessel to hold me!"

He waved his hand, and a forgotten memory surfaced from the starry sea: at the dawn of time, the Fourth Supreme stood at the boundary between chaos and order, shedding his own evil thoughts. However, the evil thoughts he had shed were too powerful to be eliminated, so he could only temporarily seal them.

"So he created the inheritance system," Dark Qin Wang's voice was full of bewitching. "Generation after generation of inheritors continuously diluted the power of evil thoughts until you appeared - the perfect vessel, able to carry both chaos and order."

Qin Wang's heart was shaken. This memory matched the fragment he had seen deep inside the seed. But he quickly calmed down: "If it is really as you said, why can I still resist now?"

Dark Qin Wang's smile froze for a moment, then he recovered: "Because the ceremony hasn't been completed yet. However..." He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Qin Wang's forehead, "It will be soon."

A terrifying suction force came, and Qin Wang felt his consciousness being pulled away. Just as he was about to sink, he heard Xu Xian's voice:

"Junior Brother, remember what you taught me—chaos and order are one!"

This sound, like a morning bell and an evening drum, awakened Qin Wang's deepest memories. He suddenly understood everything: "So that's it. This is the Fourth Supreme's true plan!"

Dark Qin Wang noticed something unusual: "You?"

Qin Wang stopped resisting and embraced the chains: "Don't you want to merge? Come on!"

Gray-gold light burst out from his body, and the memory runes on the chain lit up one by one. But this time, it was not Dark Qin Wang who was absorbing him, but he was absorbing Dark Qin Wang!

"No! This is impossible!" Dark Qin Wang was horrified to find that his body was melting. "How can you reverse it?"

"Because this is the correct direction of fusion." Qin Wang's voice was calm and firm. "It's not that chaos devours order, but that order embraces chaos."

The sea of ​​stars began to collapse, and Dark Qin Wang roared in despair. When the last trace of darkness was absorbed, the entire space shattered!
In the real world, Xu Xian and Wenquxingjun waited anxiously. Suddenly, the black egg suspended in mid-air trembled violently, and all the "eyes" on its surface simultaneously shed tears of blood.

"It's coming out!" Wenquxingjun nervously gripped the scroll.

However, the expected horror didn't unfold. The black egg quieted down and slowly fell to the ground. The eggshell began to crack at the top, and a figure stepped out—it was Qin Wang!

He looked no different from before, except that the vertical mark between his eyebrows had turned into a complete gray-gold color, and a hint of black light occasionally flashed in his eyes.

"Junior brother!" Xu Xian greeted him in surprise, "You succeeded?"

Qin Wang nodded slightly, but his eyes looked into the void: "Success, but also failure."

Wenquxingjun was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"The Fifth Supreme has not been destroyed." Qin Wang said softly, "It is here now." He pointed to his heart.

Xu Xian took a breath and said, "You mean..."

“I accommodated it,” Qin Wang said calmly. “This is the only solution. Chaos and order must coexist, otherwise the universe will be unbalanced.”

Wenquxingjun pondered: "Just like the interaction between yin and yang."

Qin Wang nodded, then suddenly raised his hand and tore open a spatial rift: "I have to go. Although the Fifth Supreme is under control, its influence remains. There are other corrupted cultivators within the Star Alliance; the list is here." He handed Xu Xian a jade slip, then looked at Wenqu Xingjun: "Xingjun, the Yin-Yang Inquiry Coin has the Fifth Supreme's mark on the back. Anyone tested with it may have been secretly corrupted."

Wenquxingjun's face changed drastically. He hurriedly took out the coin to check, and sure enough, he found a tiny eye pattern on the back.

"Also, the collective blindness of the Yuheng Realm's spiritual pupils is not an accident." Qin Wang continued, "They saw something they shouldn't have seen - there is a secret room under the Star Alliance, which contains..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly groaned, and a black light flashed across the vertical mark between his eyebrows.

"Time is running out." Qin Wang gritted his teeth and said, "I must go to the depths of the void immediately and cannot return until I completely control the Fifth Supreme."

Xu Xian asked anxiously: "What can we do?"

"Cultivate the seed." Qin Wang pointed to Xu Xian's dantian. "When it blossoms and bears fruit, the new heavenly rules will be completed. Then..."

He suddenly looked up into the distance, as if sensing something: "Someone is coming. Remember, don't trust anyone who comes back from the Qingyuan Ancient Road!"

After saying that, Qin Wang stepped into the space crack and disappeared.

Just as the crack closed, a golden light descended from the sky. The person who came was wearing a golden robe and jade belt, with a majestic face. It was—Long Wuji?

"Everyone, I'm back." Long Wuji smiled slightly, "Chaos has been destroyed, and the world is at peace."

Xu Xian and Wenquxingjun looked at each other and saw the vigilance in each other's eyes - Qin Wang's last warning was still ringing in their ears: Don't trust anyone who comes back from the Qingyuan Ancient Road!
The corners of Long Wuji's clothes were still stained with the black moss that was unique to the Qingyuan Ancient Road.
Long Wuji's golden boots clattered against the white jade floor of the Star Alliance headquarters. He surveyed the devastated scene, his brow furrowed slightly. "It seems I've missed quite a few exciting moments."

Xu Xian stood calmly in front of Wenquxingjun, pressing his right hand against his dantian, where the newly grown roots of the gray-gold seeds were trembling slightly - not a warning, but a complex fluctuation that he had never felt before.

"Master Dragon's return is truly timely." Wenquxingjun stroked his beard, the Yin-Yang Questioning Coin silently turning in his sleeve. "Chaos has just retreated, and you appear."

Long Wuji sensed the hidden meaning in the words, but instead of being annoyed, he gave a wry smile: "It's understandable that the Star Lord would doubt me." He raised his right hand, and a ball of pure golden light appeared in his palm. "But please take a look at this."

A scene emerged from the golden light: Deep within the Qingyuan Ancient Road, Long Wuji was locked in a black crystal cage, shrouded in black mist. Outside the cage, a figure identical to him was performing some kind of evil magic.

"I've been copied." Long Wuji withdrew the golden light. "The traitorous 'me' is the true Chaos Puppet."

Xu Xian narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did Alliance Leader Long escape?"

"It's embarrassing to say this," Long Wuji sighed. "It was Qin Wang who saved me. When he was fighting the Fifth Supreme, the aftermath shattered the Black Crystal Cage."

Wenquxingjun suddenly coughed, and Xu Xian understood and changed the subject: "Master Long, do you know that there is a secret room under the Star Alliance?"

Long Wuji's expression was flawless. "Secret room? I didn't set up any secret room before I went into seclusion."

At this moment, the roots of the seed in Xu Xian's dantian suddenly contracted violently, sending a sharp pain through his body. He endured the discomfort and carefully examined Long Wuji's robe—the black moss on it had an odd shape, resembling the patterns on the relief carving at the entrance to the secret room.
"Alliance leader, you must have been exhausted from the journey. Why don't you go and rest first?" Xu Xian said, feigning concern. "We can discuss this in detail after we have cleared the battlefield."

Long Wuji smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the main hall. As he walked away, Wenquxingjun immediately cast a soundproof barrier. "What did you find?"

"The black moss on the hem of his clothes," Xu Xian whispered, "I've seen it before in the shared vision of the seeds; it's the 'Soul-Devouring Moss' unique to the entrance of the secret chamber!"

Wenquxingjun's expression suddenly changed: "So he just came out of the secret room?"

While the two were discussing, Guan Hui hurried over and said, "Senior Brother Xu! There's new information about the spiritual pupils in the Yuheng Realm!"

The Yuheng Realm's spiritual pupils were housed in the Jingxin Pavilion, east of the main altar. These young men, born with heterochromia, were already blind, yet now they collectively faced west, tears of blood streaming from their hollow eye sockets.

“They suddenly became like this,” the medic in charge of their care said, his voice trembling, “and they keep repeating the word 'twins.'”

Xu Xian approached the oldest person with spiritual pupils, and the young man immediately grabbed his sleeve and said, "Master Xu, the twins underground are one real and one fake."

Wenquxingjun and Xu Xian exchanged a glance. Could the so-called twins refer to the two Long Wuji?
Suddenly, all the Spiritual Pupils screamed simultaneously! They pointed at the ground, as if they had witnessed something terrifying. The seed in Xu Xian's Dantian sent another warning—this time with a clear direction, pointing directly to the ground beneath the main altar!

"Xingjun, you stay and look after them." Xu Xian made up his mind, "I'll go to the secret room and find out what's going on."

"It's too dangerous!" Wenquxingjun objected, "At least bring..."

Xu Xian shook his head and patted his Dantian: "With my junior brother's seed, Chaos can't hurt me. And..." He lowered his voice, "If Long Wuji is really in trouble, you are here to stabilize the situation."

Taking advantage of the night, Xu Xian quietly made his way to the ancient well in the hills behind the main altar—this was the entrance to the secret chamber the seed had pointed to. The walls of the well were covered in soul-eating moss, and touching it sent a subtle stinging sensation, as if being bitten by countless tiny teeth.

"It's here, sure enough." Xu Xian used his skills to protect his whole body and jumped into the well.

The well water was icy cold. After diving about ten feet, a hidden passage appeared on the side wall. At the end of the passage was a bronze door with two entangled skulls carved on it, the "Twins" pattern.

The roots of the seed emerged from Xu Xian's dantian and gently touched the door lock. A gray-gold light shone, and the bronze door silently opened, revealing a deep staircase behind.

Xu Xian descended cautiously. The further he went, the more humid and muggy the air became. The moss on the wall emitted a faint fluorescent light, illuminating the fresh footprints on the stairs—they were the exact size of Long Wuji's boots!

After descending about a hundred feet, the view suddenly opened up. It was a vast underground cavern. In the center stood a crystal coffin, surrounded by seven black crystal pillars. Each pillar contained the soul of a cultivator—unbelievably one of the Star Alliance elites who had disappeared over the past six months!
"So it's here." Xu Xian became angry and was about to go forward to check when he suddenly heard a faint heartbeat coming from the coffin.

He held his breath as he approached. Through the crystal coffin lid, he saw a young man lying within. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face bore a striking resemblance to Qin Wang, though there was a dark vertical scar between his eyebrows. Even more bizarre, a fragment of the Heaven-Cutting Sword was lodged in his chest, and a mixture of gold and black blood oozed from the wound.

"This is Qin Wang's." Xu Xian was wondering when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

"Have you discovered my little secret?" Long Wuji's voice echoed in the cave.

Xu Xian turned around abruptly and saw Long Wuji standing at the top of the stairs, a strange smile on his face. But what chilled him even more was that the boy in the crystal coffin had opened his eyes at some point—they were pure black eyes with no whites! (End of Chapter)
