Awakening Daily Intelligence Panel, Grind to Become a True Immortal

"There's a Chaos Egg in her body!" Qin Wang's face changed drastically. "It was planted by that being just now before he died!"

Gao Hui curled up in agony, spiderweb-like black lines appearing under her skin. With her last remaining clear mind, she looked at Xu Xian, her eyes filled with pleading: "Brother, kill me!"

Xu Xian's hand holding the sword trembled violently: "There must be another way"

"There's no time!" Qin Wang shouted sternly, "Once the Chaos Egg hatches, the area within a thousand miles will be transformed into a dead zone!"

Gao Hui suddenly grabbed the tip of Xu Xian's sword and pointed it at his heart: "Please, I don't want to become a monster."

Xu Xian's eyes were filled with tears, and he thrust the sword forward - "Puchi"!
Gou Hui's body froze, but a relieved smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Thank you." Her pupils began to dilate, but strangely, the black lines under her skin became more active!

"Stand back!" Qin Wang pulled Xu Xian away. "The egg is coming out!"

Gao Hui's body suddenly exploded, sending a cloud of black mist rising into the air. A shadowy figure, vaguely resembling a baby, could be seen within it. Qin Wang tried to intercept it with his broken sword, but due to his injuries, he was too slow.

The black fog cried like a baby, and instantly fled thousands of miles away, disappearing into the sky.

Xu Xian knelt beside the remains of Gou Hui, his hands buried deep in the earth. Wenquxingjun was dead, Gou Hui was dead, and the Star Alliance was falling apart. All because of that damned copper coin!

"Brother." Qin Wang pressed his shoulder, "We have to go to Qingyuan Ancient Road."

Xu Xian looked up and found that the vertical mark between Qin Wang's eyebrows had turned half black, and the cracks on the broken sword were also slowly expanding: "Your injury..."

"I won't die for now." Qin Wang smiled bitterly, "But if we don't find a solution soon, the Fifth Supreme will make a comeback soon."

He looked in the direction where the black mist disappeared. "The escaped Chaos Infant Spirit will go looking for other copper coins. We must get ahead of it."

Xu Xian forced himself to calm down: "Wenquxingjun said that the answer lies deep in the ancient road."

"What the Fourth Supreme left behind is likely a method to completely eliminate Chaos." Qin Wang nodded, "But this journey is dangerous, Senior Brother, you..."

"I'll go with you," Xu Xian said firmly. "The information that Gao Hui exchanged his life for must not be wasted."

Qin Wang stopped trying to dissuade him and just said softly, "Then hurry up and recover. We'll set off before daybreak."

Xu Xian sat down cross-legged, attempting to mobilize the seed's energy to heal his wounds. Suddenly, he noticed something strange about the seed—its roots were much thicker than before, but their color had turned darker. Even stranger, when he looked inward at his dantian, he seemed to hear a faint heartbeat coming from within the seed.
"Junior brother, is this seed..."

Qin Wang didn't answer. Xu Xian turned around and saw him staring blankly at the starry sky. The dark mark between his eyebrows was particularly glaring in the moonlight. At that moment, Xu Xian suddenly had a terrible feeling - was the Qin Wang in front of him really the junior brother he knew?
The entrance to the Qingyuan Ancient Road before dawn was even more eerie than at night. The ancient well had completely dried up, and the dense, soul-eating moss on the well's walls had withered, revealing an ancient relief beneath—two intertwined skeletons, identical to the pattern on the door to the underground chamber.

Xu Xian squatted by the well, lightly touching the relief with his fingertips. To his surprise, the feeling wasn't cold, hard stone, but rather the slightly elastic texture of flesh! Even stranger, as he touched it, the eye sockets of the two skulls suddenly lit up with a gray-gold light.

"This is..." Xu Xian suddenly retracted his hand.

Qin Wang stood at the edge of the well, the broken sword hanging at his waist: "Bloodline verification. Only the supreme inheritor can activate this channel."

He cut his finger, and a drop of gold and black blood fell into the well. In an instant, the stone slab at the bottom of the well slid silently aside, revealing a spiral staircase leading downward. On the walls on either side of the staircase, countless firefly-like blue dots lit up one after another, illuminating the bottomless passage.

"Follow me closely." Qin Wang stepped in first. "Don't touch anything."

The staircase was much longer than expected, seemingly leading to the center of the earth. As he went deeper, the air grew thick and humid, and every breath felt like swallowing liquid. Xu Xian noticed that the points of light on the wall weren't fireflies at all, but miniature projections of the starry sky—each point a tiny world!

"This is the work of the Fourth Supreme." Qin Wang explained without turning back, "He has carved all the worlds he has traveled to here."

Xu Xian was about to take a closer look when his foot suddenly slipped. He instinctively held onto the wall, but his palm went straight through the seemingly solid stone wall! Countless starlight poured into his arm, and a flood of unfamiliar memories exploded in his mind—the great battles of the ancient world, the falling of the galaxy, the weeping blood of the Supreme Being.
"Brother!" Qin Wang pulled him back. Starlight poured out of Xu Xian's seven orifices like the receding tide. "Every starlight here is a world imprint. If you come into contact with it rashly, you will be assimilated."

Xu Xian gasped for breath, his forehead covered in sweat. "I saw the Fourth Supreme being crying."

Qin Wang was silent for a moment, the vertical mark between his eyebrows flickering slightly: "Keep going, the answer is just ahead."

After descending for about half an hour, the stairs finally reached their end. Before them lay a vast spherical space, a crystal tablet suspended in the center. The inscription was written in ancient, divine script. Even more shocking, a corpse knelt before the tablet—clad in a golden robe and jade belt, its face remarkably lifelike. It was the remains of the Fourth Supreme Being!
"Master." Qin Wang called softly, with an indescribable complex emotion in his voice.

Xu Xian looked around cautiously. The walls of the spherical space were covered with holes of varying sizes, and in each hole floated a copper coin—a replica of the Yin-Yang Questioning Heart Coin! They slowly rotated, emitting a subtle humming sound, as if whispering to each other.

"This is the origin of the copper coins." Qin Wang walked towards the crystal monument. "The Star Alliance coin is just a replica stolen from here."

Xu Xian suddenly noticed something unusual about the remains of the Fourth Supreme Being—his right index finger pointed to an inconspicuous hole in front of him, and there was no copper coin in the hole!

"Junior brother, look there!"

Qin Wang followed the instructions and looked, his pupils shrinking slightly: "So that's it."

He quickly walked over to the empty hole and reached in. After a moment, he pulled out a small jade slip. The jade slip was pure white, forming a stark contrast with the eerie copper coins surrounding it.

"The true inheritance left by our master." Qin Wang's voice trembled. "I always thought it was lost."

Just as Xu Xian was about to step forward, he suddenly felt the seed in his dantian vibrate violently. At the same time, all the copper coins on the wall stopped spinning and all turned in unison towards the two of them!

"Not good!" Qin Wang crushed the jade slip and a white light burst out. "They found us!"

Countless black lines shot out from the copper coin's eye, weaving into a large net that enveloped the two. Qin Wang formed a hand seal, his broken sword hovering before him, creating a fragile barrier. Xu Xian, on the other hand, fully activated the seed, its gray-gold roots bursting forth to contend with the black net. "Senior brother, listen to me!" Qin Wang said urgently during a break in the fight, "The jade slip contains the final chapter of the *Chaos Annihilation Scripture*—'The Return to the Void Chapter.' Now I will transfer it into your sea of ​​consciousness!"

Without waiting for Xu Xian to respond, Qin Wang pointed a finger at his forehead. A flood of information poured in, and Xu Xian's eyes went dark. In a trance, he saw this scene:
The Fourth Supreme stood in the void, two seeds hovering before him—one gray-gold, one pitch-black. He cast the gray-gold seed into the nascent universe, while the pitch-black seed was sealed within his own body. At the end of the scene, the Fourth Supreme pierced his own heart with the Heaven-Cutting Sword and whispered, "Balance is eternal."

"Do you understand?" Qin Wang's voice brought Xu Xian back to reality. "The Fifth Supreme has never existed independently. It is the product of the imbalance between chaos and order!"

The black net tightened, and the cracks on the broken sword continued to widen. Xu Xian endured the headache and digested the information just now: "So... the solution is..."

"Restore the balance!" Qin Wang suddenly withdrew his resistance and let the black net envelop him. "Brother, remember—when the seeds bloom, it will be the day of returning to the abyss!"

"Junior brother!" Xu Xian watched as the black net wrapped Qin Wang into a cocoon. The copper coins made shrill laughs and scrambled to get into the cocoon.

Even more terrifying was that the vertical mark between Qin Wang's eyebrows turned completely black, and the broken sword was completely shattered at this moment! A creepy chewing sound came from the cocoon, as if something was devouring Qin Wang's flesh and blood.

Xu Xian's eyes burned red as he desperately urged the seed to grow. Its roots danced like wild dragons, attacking the black cocoon frantically. Just as he was about to lose all his strength, the seed in his dantian suddenly made a soft "crack" sound—a small bud finally emerged between two tender leaves!

The moment the bud blossomed, the entire spherical space vibrated violently. A column of pure gray-gold light shot out from the bud, piercing the black cocoon. A shrill scream echoed from within the cocoon, and copper coins exploded one after another.

When the light faded, Xu Xian saw a heartbreaking scene—a massive hole pierced Qin Wang's chest, black blood gushing out. But his right hand was tightly gripping a struggling black shadow, the aggregated consciousness of all the copper coins!
"Brother." Qin Wang raised his head with difficulty, a smile of relief on his lips, "Now, do you understand Master's choice?"

Xu Xian suddenly understood. The Fourth Supreme had chosen to sacrifice himself to seal the Chaos, and today, Qin Wang had to make the same choice!

"No! There must be another way!" Xu Xian rushed forward, trying to help Qin Wang stop the bleeding.

Qin Wang shook his head and pressed the black shadow against the wound on his chest. "The Fifth Supreme was born from imbalance and can only be destroyed by imbalance." He looked at the flower blooming in Xu Xian's dantian. "Your seed is the new balance point."

The shadow roared unwillingly, but was forcibly sucked into Qin Wang's body. The terrifying backlash began - Qin Wang's body cracked like porcelain, and a dazzling light burst out from the cracks.

"Hurry up!" Qin Wang pushed Xu Xian away with his last bit of strength. "I want to detonate the power of chaos and order in my body. It's about to..."

Xu Xian was about to say something when the Fourth Supreme's remains suddenly glowed with golden light, and a gentle but irresistible force pushed him towards the exit. At the last moment before leaving the spherical space, he saw Qin Wang mouthing to him:

“Bloom to see me.”

Amidst a deafening explosion, Xu Xian was swept out of the ancient well by the blast. The entire Qingyuan Ancient Road began to crumble, the ground heaving like waves. He desperately crawled towards safety, the ground behind him collapsing into a bottomless pit.

When everything calmed down, Xu Xian sat slumped on the edge of the ruins, trembling as he gazed inward at his dantian. The flower had fully bloomed, and a tiny gray-gold figure quietly hovered in its center—a miniature version of Qin Wang!
The figure seemed to sense Xu Xian's gaze, looked up and smiled slightly, then pointed to the sky.

Xu Xian looked up and saw the shadows of seventeen worlds strung together like a necklace, forming a perfect circle. The Star Chain Array was finally complete!
He suddenly understood everything: Qin Wang had never really died, he just existed in a different form - as the guardian of the balance of the universe, as the core of the Star Chain Array.

The seed in one's dantian is the link that connects this balance.

Xu Xian slowly stood up and brushed the dust off his robes. In the distance, the surviving Star Alliance monks were coming in twos and threes. He knew that what awaited him would be the heavy task of restoring order and the long journey of recovering all the copper coins scattered across the Seventeen Realms.

But at this moment, he just wanted to quietly look at the flower and the little man sleeping in the flower.

"Junior brother, I'll wait for you to wake up."

On the thirty-seventh day of the Star Alliance headquarters' reconstruction, Xu Xian stood on the newly completed observatory, gazing at the vast star chain array of seventeen realms across the sky. The flowers in his dantian were particularly active today, their roots occasionally sprouting out, as if reaching for the invisible energy connections.

"Alliance Leader Xu, three more copper coins have been found in the Tianxuan Realm." The new law enforcement elder, Xiao Han, walked over quickly and handed over an iron box covered with talismans. "They are all located at the spiritual vein nodes."

Xu Xian took the iron box, and as soon as his fingertips touched the surface of the box, the flower in his Dantian began to vibrate violently. From inside the box came a "dong dong" sound, as if something was eager to break free.

"Handle it as usual, send it to the Pure Fire Pond for incineration." Xu Xian handed the iron box back and suddenly frowned, "Wait, what's that in your hand?"

Xiao Han raised his right hand, revealing a fresh scratch on the base of his palm. "I accidentally got scratched by the edge of a copper coin while sealing it. It's nothing serious."

Xu Xian stared at the wound, which glowed with an eerie green light. Suddenly, the flower in his dantian gave a sharp warning. He calmly stepped back, "Go to the pharmacy to treat the wound first. I'll personally deliver the copper coins to the Fire Purification Pool."

After Xiao Han walked away, Xu Xian immediately took out a bronze mirror—one of the relics left by Wenquxingjun. Shine the mirror's light on the iron box, and a black line as thin as a hair appeared on the box, extending in the direction Xiao Han had left!
"Sure enough." Xu Xian's eyes glared as a half-broken sword slipped from his sleeve—a fragment of Qin Wang's Heaven-Cutting Sword. The blade's tip slashed across, severing the black line, and a piercing shriek echoed from within the box.

The Fire Purification Pool was located on the lowest level of the main altar, guarded in shifts by three elders who cultivated the Pure Yang True Fire. Just as Xu Xian reached the stairs, the jade slip in his arms suddenly felt hot. An anxious voice emanated from the slip: "Alliance Leader! Urgent news from the Yuheng Realm: All Spiritual Pupils have simultaneously fallen unconscious. The last thing they saw was the flower in your dantian!"

Xu Xian paused and subconsciously pressed his abdomen. At this moment, Xiao Han's voice came from behind him: "Why did the leader personally deliver this dirty thing?"

The moment he turned around, Xu Xian's pupils suddenly shrank - Xiao Han's eyes had turned pure black, his mouth was grinning from ear to ear, and he was holding a melting copper coin in his hand!

"You're not Xiao Han." Xu Xian held his broken sword across his chest. "How could the consciousness in a copper coin actually inhabit a living person?"

Xiao Han chuckled strangely, "We're everywhere." His body suddenly melted like wax, revealing the tangled black threads within. "Especially when you've concentrated so many copper coins into the Pure Fire Pool."

Xu Xian suddenly realized: "Lure the tiger away from the mountain! Your target is the Pure Fire Pool!"

He leaped to the bottom, behind him came Xiao Han's distorted shout: "Too late! The Pure Fire has already been corrupted, all the copper coins will be reborn!" (End of Chapter)
