Awakening Daily Intelligence Panel, Grind to Become a True Immortal

"This is impossible." Xu Xian leaned closer to the mirror, "I saw him disappear with my own eyes."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Zun in the mirror suddenly opened his eyes! His pure black eyes looked directly at Xu Xian, and the corners of his mouth slowly opened: "Brother, long time no see"

Xu Xian stumbled back, the copper coin mark piercing with pain. Fine cracks appeared on the mirror surface, and Ye Zun's voice came intermittently: "Come find me, I'm in the seed."

At the moment the bronze mirror exploded, the seed in Xu Xian's dantian suddenly stretched out a root and pierced directly into his heart!

Amidst excruciating pain, Xu Xian's consciousness was pulled into a strange dimension. Here, there was no distinction between heaven and earth, only endless swirling gray fog. Within the fog, two flowers—one gray-gold, the other pitch black—drifted, their stamens facing each other, slowly rotating.

"here it is"

"Your Dantian Purple Palace." A familiar voice rang out from the gray-gold flower. Qin Wang's shadow emerged, much more solid than before. "To be precise, it's inside the seed."

Just as Xu Xian was about to step forward, the dark flower suddenly erupted into a thick mist. The mist condensed into the image of Ye Zun, who jokingly blocked his way and said, "Brother, don't be impatient. Play a game with me first~"

Qin Wang's shadow immediately drew his sword: "Be careful! He has already..."

Ye Zun suddenly reached into his chest and pulled out a ball of flickering black light: "I've found this!" He threw the black light into the void, "Look!"

Black light exploded, transforming into fragments of memories: Xu Xian being punished by his master as a child, Qin Wang secretly bringing him medicine; Xu Xian vomiting uncontrollably after his first kill of a demon cultivator, Qin Wang silently cleaning up for him; even Xu Xian staring blankly at Qin Wang's portrait in the dead of night.
"How do you have these memories?" Xu Xian's face turned pale.

Ye Zun tilted his head and smiled: "Because I am you~" His body began to twist and deform, gradually taking on the appearance of Xu Xian, "I am all the dark sides you have suppressed~"

Qin Wang's shadow suddenly dimmed: "Brother, he is absorbing my power."

The gray-gold flowers withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the pitch-black flowers became more and more enchanting. Ye Zun took a deep breath in ecstasy: "More and more jealousy and resentment..."

Xu Xian suddenly understood - Ye Zun was using his negative emotions to grow! What was even more terrifying was that as Ye Zun became stronger, the copper coin mark on his wrist was slowly fading.

"Don't even think about it!" Xu Xian forcibly cut off his inner vision and returned to reality.

In the secret room, his shirt was soaked with cold sweat. Looking down, he could faintly see two roots wriggling beneath his skin at his pubic area—one gray-gold, the other pitch black.

Outside the window, the first rays of dawn's sunlight pierced through the clouds. Xu Xian suddenly remembered something and hurriedly took out the Star Alliance Chronicle. When he turned to a certain page, his hands began to tremble violently:

[The Day of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head]——It’s today!
The rising sun of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Headstone dyed the Star Alliance headquarters blood red. Xu Xian stood on the observatory, observing the black lines spreading across his arms—the price of reversing the Chaos Tribulation Sutra. The seed in his dantian had vanished, replaced by two intertwined phantom flowers.

"Alliance leader! Urgent news from the southwest star region!" The messenger monk stumbled over. "A floating crystal coffin has been discovered!"

Xu Xian crushed the communication talisman, and the scene unfolded before his eyes: in the dark void, the coffin emitted a strange purple light, and the Ye Zun lying inside had no fragments of the Caitian Sword on his chest, and Xu Xian's name was engraved on the coffin lid!
The copper coin mark on his wrist suddenly felt a burning pain. Xu Xian groaned, and Qin Wang's intermittent voice echoed in his mind: "Brother, don't go into the trap."

"Junior brother?" Xu Xian perked up, "Where are you?"

There was no response. But the gray-gold flower in his dantian suddenly swayed, projecting a star map—the location marked with a red dot was actually the deepest part of the Qingyuan Ancient Road!

Xu Xian tore through space without hesitation. When he stepped out of the void crack, the scene before him made his breath stop:

In the center of the spherical space where the Fourth Supreme's remains resided, a cocoon of gray-gold light hovered. Its surface was covered in cracks, and within it, the figure of Qin Wang, seated cross-legged, could be vaguely seen. Even more astonishingly, a half-broken sword blade was lodged in his chest—the very fragment of the vanished Heaven-Cutting Sword!
"So you have been here all the time." Xu Xian reached out and touched the light cocoon.

Inside the cocoon, Qin Wang suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes, one gray-gold and one pitch black, pulsed with terrifying energy. "Brother, hurry up and leave! I can't hold it back anymore!"

Before he could finish his words, the cocoon of light exploded! The violent energy sent Xu Xian flying. Amidst the smoke and dust, Qin Wang slowly stood up, the fragments of the Heaven-Cutting Sword clanging to the ground. He looked down at his hands—his left hand shrouded in gray-gold light, his right shrouded in pitch-black mist.

"Surprised?" Qin Wang looked up, a sinister smile hanging on his lips that Xu Xian had never seen before. "Didn't expect that I would be resurrected in this form?"

Xu Xian felt like he was falling into an icy cave: "You are not Qin Wang"

"Why not?" Qin Wang tilted his head, a gesture identical to Ye Zun's. "It's just that now, I am complete." He waved his left hand lightly, and the gray-gold light turned into chains that bound Xu Xian. "Including all my feelings for you."

The moment the chains pierced his flesh, Xu Xian saw the truth: Qin Wang had stripped away his dark side and sealed it into the Sky-Cutting Sword to seal the Fifth Supreme Being. And Ye Zun was the product of that dark side absorbing chaos!

"You have merged with Ye Zun." Xu Xian said with difficulty.

Qin Wang placed his right hand on Xu Xian's cheek, and a dark mist seeped into his skin. "No, he awakened me." Black lines spread wildly where his fingers passed. "Do you know? How many times have I thought about you over the years?"

"Leader!" A sharp shout interrupted him. Zhou Mu came through the air with twelve elders, "Quickly let go of the leader!"

Qin Wang chuckled: "Ant." He casually waved his right hand, and a dark sword energy swept out.

At this critical moment, two phantom flowers bloomed simultaneously within Xu Xian's body! The gray-gold flower transformed into a barrier to block the sword energy, while the pitch-black flower bit towards Qin Wang's wrist like a venomous snake.

"Oh?" Qin Wang raised his eyebrows. "You also have my power in your body?"

Taking advantage of his distraction, Xu Xian violently broke the chains. A mouthful of blood sprayed onto the shards of the Heaven-Cutting Sword, and the blade flew into his hand with a humming sound. "Everyone, form a formation! He's not Qin Wang!"

The Twelve Celestial Beings Demon Subduing Formation illuminated within the spherical space, but all the patterns automatically twisted and disintegrated as they approached Qin Wang. Before Zhou Mu's whisk could even touch the hem of his opponent's clothing, it transformed into countless black insects that attacked its master!

"It's useless." Qin Wang walked in the formation, and every step made the space tremble. "You don't understand what the Supreme is at all."

Xu Xian suddenly stabbed the fragment of the Caitian Sword into his heart!

"Leader!" The elders were shocked.

Blood flowed along the blade, but it didn't drip. Instead, it formed a blood line connecting the eyebrows of the twelve elders. Xu Xian's voice echoed in everyone's mind: "I would like to borrow your spiritual power!"

A surge of energy surged through his bloodstream. Black lines rapidly spread across Xu Xian's body, but were blocked by the Heaven-Cutting Sword at his heart, forming a strange mandala pattern.

Qin Wang finally changed color: "How dare you..."

"With my body as the battleground, with my blood as the catalyst." Xu Xian gripped the sword blade at his heart with both hands and slowly drew it out—bringing forth a complete Heaven-Slaying Sword! The sword's blade was a tapestry of gray-gold and pitch-black, exactly like Qin Wang's current state. The moment the two Heaven-Slaying Swords clashed, the entire Qingyuan Ancient Path began to collapse! The remains of the Fourth Supreme suddenly opened their eyes, transforming into golden light and merging into Xu Xian's body. Xu Xian's pupils instantly turned gray-gold, and his sword aura suddenly became fierce.

“Master!?” Qin Wang stepped back in shock, the dark mist in his right hand fluctuating violently.

Xu Xian's sword pointed at Qin Wang's throat. "Junior Brother, I know you're still here." His voice echoed with a double chord. "Ye Zun only magnified your dark side, but he couldn't erase your true nature."

The gray-gold light in Qin Wang's left eye began to struggle: "Brother, kill me, otherwise..."

"No." Xu Xian suddenly put away his sword and hugged Qin Wang. "This time, I will save you."

Two phantom flowers at his dantian burst forth from his body. The gray-gold flower merged into Qin Wang's left eye, while the pitch-black flower merged into his right. The copper coin mark on Xu Xian's wrist rose into the air, transforming into a halo that enveloped the two of them.

"You!" Qin Wang trembled all over, "You actually separated your soul!"

"You blocked the chaos for me back then, and today I will share half of the light with you." Xu Xian's face was pale, but with a relieved smile, "This is the true balance."

The halo shrank, and the darkness in Qin Wang's right eye gradually faded. When the last wisp of black mist dissipated, he stumbled to his knees, the gray-gold light from his left hand illuminating the entire collapsing space.

"Brother." The real Qin Wang finally returned, his voice choked with sobs, "You fool."

Xu Xian smiled weakly, but his pupils suddenly shrank when he saw behind Qin Wang - the dissipated black mist was re-condensing on the dome, vaguely forming a huge baby face!

“Look out! It’s not there yet.”

The warning came to an abrupt end. A pitch-black sword blade pierced Qin Wang's chest, and Ye Zun's voice chuckled in his ear: "Brother is still so naive~"

The moment the pitch-black blade pierced his chest, Qin Wang's pupils suddenly constricted. He looked down at the black ice crystals spreading across his chest, and the sweet taste of blood welled up in his throat.

“Senior Brother.”

Xu Xian's roar echoed through the crumbling space. He lunged forward, only to be blown away by the black mist erupting from Qin Wang's body. The baby's face condensed within the dome let out a shrill laugh, and Ye Zun's voice emanated from Qin Wang's body: "Thank you, brother, for helping me obtain the Supreme Relic~"

Qin Wang's left hand suddenly grasped the sword blade at his chest, the gray-gold light clashing fiercely with the black mist. The right side of his face began to twist, revealing the eerie patterns unique to Ye Zun. "Go!" This faint warning was squeezed out from between his teeth, and was immediately drowned out by the black mist.

"Form a formation!" Zhou Mu shouted. The twelve elders simultaneously formed hand seals, and chains of spiritual energy entwined themselves around the transformed Qin Wang. The chains quickly rotted upon contact with the black mist, and the elders holding the formation suddenly began to ooze black blood from all seven orifices.

Xu Xian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and two shadowy flowers in his dantian swayed wildly. He stared at Qin Wang's figure gradually being swallowed by the black mist, and suddenly turned the sword upside down, pointing the tip at his own eyebrows: "Junior brother, you taught me - the heart sword leaves no trace!"

The sword penetrated three inches, but no blood flowed. A sword of light, condensed purely from divine consciousness, burst out from Xu Xian's crown and instantly pierced Qin Wang's eyebrows.

The world seemed to stand still at this moment.

Two entangled balls of light emerged from the black fog—the gray-gold Qin Wang's soul and the pitch-black Ye Zun were fighting for control of the body. Xu Xian's heart sword accurately struck the connection between the two, and Ye Zun let out a shrill howl: "How dare you—"

"I saw it." Xu Xian's voice echoed in the spiritual space, "Something is calling you from the core of the Star Chain Array."

Qin Wang's soul within the ball of light suddenly flickered violently, forcing a memory scene to be shared with Xu Xian: Amidst the vast sea of ​​stars, at the base of the star chain array formed by the seventeen realms, a parasitic mass of flesh and blood had somehow entangled itself. Every spiritual vein had become a blood vessel, draining the essence of the beings from every realm.

"The Fifth Supreme's nest?" Xu Xian's mind was shaken. At this moment, the collapse of reality suddenly intensified, and the huge sound of the Star Alliance bell pierced the void.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three alarm bells are a sign of the end of the world.

Xu Xian's consciousness was forcibly pulled back to reality. The Qingyuan Ancient Road completely collapsed, and everyone was thrown onto the main altar square. The Star Chain Array in the sky had turned dark red, and the projections of the Seventeen Realms were like prey caught in a spider's web.

"Alliance leader!" A blood-soaked messenger stumbled over. "Urgent reports have arrived from the seven realms, including Yuheng, Tianxuan, and others. All spiritual veins are flowing backwards!"

Qin Wang's body hovered in mid-air, a cocoon of black mist forming a barrier. Ye Zun's voice emanated from within the cocoon, amusement-filled like a cat playing with a mouse: "Brother, guess what? When the mother nest drains the Seventeen Realms, will a beautiful Chaos Flower grow?"

Xu Xian gripped the Heaven-Cutting Sword tightly, a faint resonance echoing from the blade—it was Qin Wang's own soul struggling. He suddenly remembered the bronze key that Wenquxingjun had tossed to him before his death, and hurriedly retrieved it from his bosom.

The rust on the key's surface was peeling off, revealing the delicate star pattern underneath. When Xu Xian injected his spiritual power into the key, a ray of green light was projected into the air, revealing Wenquxingjun's final deduction:

[The Twin Supremes appear, and the Star Chain returns to ruins. To break this calamity, one must seek the first generation seal.]

"The first generation seal?" Zhou Mu leaned in to examine it. "Could it be..."

Before he finished speaking, the bronze key suddenly flew towards Qin Wang's black cocoon. The moment it touched the black mist, it transformed and unfolded, transforming into a bronze plate engraved with runes. The words on the plate lit up with a dazzling golden light:

[After three thousand calamities in the prehistoric world, I have become both good and evil. Evil thoughts are suppressed in the cores of stars, while the seeds of good are scattered throughout the heavens. —The final words of the First Supreme]

Ye Zun suddenly let out a scream that was not human, and the black cocoon shook violently: "Old thing is dead and still in the way!"

Xu Xian was blessed with a sudden inspiration, and he pointed his Heaven-Cutting Sword directly at the base of the main altar: "The first generation is sealed in the secret room of the star core!"

Three thousand feet beneath the Star Alliance, Xu Xian and the six remaining elders stood before the door to the Star Core Chamber. The relief carving on the stone door shuddered—it was a pair of intertwined skeletons, identical to the pattern on the Qingyuan Ancient Road.

"Alliance leader, my deduction shows..." Zhou Mu's compass needle spun wildly, "there is a being beyond the Daluo level behind the door."

The shadow flower in Xu Xian's dantian was already withering, but he still pressed his palm on the center of the stone gate: "The information that Wenquxingjun exchanged his life for is worth the gamble."

The stone door suddenly opened automatically. The chaotic aura that rushed towards them corroded the two elders into a pile of bones, and the rest of the people were blown away by the shockwave. Xu Xian used the Sky-Cutting Sword to stab the ground to steady himself. When he looked up, he saw a scene he would never forget.

In the center of a spherical space a thousand feet in diameter, a beating black heart hovered. Countless vein-like tentacles connected to the surrounding walls, each brimming with various spiritual energies. This was the essence of the seventeen realms being extracted!

"The control core of the Starlink Array?" Xu Xian's sword began to frost over. This wasn't a secret chamber at all, but a cage crafted by the First Supreme Being. The surface of that black heart was covered with golden chains, which were now slowly pulsating in a certain rhythm. (End of Chapter)
