Awakening Daily Intelligence Panel, Grind to Become a True Immortal

"It's only half of the evil thought." The old man raised his head, revealing a face similar to Qin Wang's, but the right half of his face had rotted away to the bone. "The good thought sealed me here, using the stars as a prison and time as a lock."

Xu Xian was cautious and didn't approach: "Qin Wang let me do it"

"That little kid?" The old man suddenly laughed, his chains rattling. "Did he tell you that this is the secret to saving the Seventeenth Realm?"

Without waiting for Xu Xian to answer, the old man yanked the chain: "You are wrong! There is only the truth here - the cruel truth!"

The star maze suddenly shifted, its fragments reorganizing into a vast star map. Xu Xian witnessed a scene from the dawn of time: the first Supreme Beings were not one, but twins! Good thoughts created the Star Chain Array, while evil thoughts gave birth to chaos. But at the last moment, good thoughts attacked evil thoughts, splitting their power in two—the greater half sealed in the Star Skeleton Valley, the smaller half suppressed in the core of the Seventeenth Realm.

"So the black-eyed young man..."

"It's the manifestation of that part of my power." The old man sneered, "But the real danger is the half that escaped."

Xu Xian suddenly remembered the guardian of the God-killing Blade - the silver-gray man in the fog!

"It seems you understand." The old man nodded with satisfaction. "That traitor stole my memory and has been looking for a way to revive my evil thoughts. This time, the black-eyed young man is just a vessel for his experiment."

"Why are you telling me this?" Xu Xian was puzzled.

The old man's expression suddenly became extremely tired. "Because even evil thoughts hate to be manipulated by fate." He pointed at Xu Xian's wooden sword, "Use that to pierce my heart, and you will get the answer you seek."

Xu Xian hesitated. This was clearly a trap, but if he missed the opportunity...
“Hurry up!” the old man suddenly shouted, “He’s coming!”

The fog surged violently, and silver-grey mist seeped in from all directions. The old man's body began to twist uncontrollably, and the chains groaned under the heavy burden.

Xu Xian no longer hesitated, and thrust out his wooden sword like lightning.

The moment the sword's tip touched the old man's heart, the entire Star Valley lit up like daylight. Xu Xian felt a flood of information flood into his mind, the last thing he saw was the old man's relieved smile and the furious roar of the man in the fog.
When the light faded, Xu Xian found himself standing in a void. The wooden sword in his hand had transformed into an ancient bronze book, with five blood-red characters engraved on the cover:
The Secret of Eternal Life in Guixu

The ancient bronze book grew slightly warm in Xu Xian's hands, and the blood-red text on the cover moved like a living thing. When he tried to open the first page, the pages closed tightly like the skin of a living creature, resisting his touch.

"This isn't an ordinary tome," Xu Xian muttered to himself. Fine lines appeared on the surface of the ancient book, mirroring the shackles between Qin Wang's eyebrows.

Silver-gray mist swirled around, and the angry roar of the man in the mist came from afar: "Put it down! That's not something you can touch!"

Xu Xian held the ancient book close to his heart. The book seemed to sense the remaining supreme power in his body and finally slowly unfolded the first page.

【Guixu is not a place of death, but the door to eternal life】

These nine short words struck Xu Xian like lightning. This was a forbidden tome that recorded how to attain eternal life through Guixu! Even more terrifying, the annotations on the edges of the pages were written in the exact same handwriting as Wenquxingjun!
"I see." Xu Xian finally understood why the Star Alliance had been infiltrated. Wenquxingjun must have been here before, perhaps even participating in some forbidden research.

The ancient book suddenly turned to the middle page automatically, revealing a horrifying picture: the Seventeen Realms were depicted as a huge altar, each realm was a formation eye, and the Star Chain Formation was the conduit for sacrifice!
"This is the plan of the man in the fog," Xu Xian's fingers trembled. "He wants to use the seventeen realms as a sacrifice to open the gate to Guixu!"

The silver-gray mist had closed in within ten feet, and a human silhouette condensed within the mist: "Clever ant. Unfortunately, it's too late."

Xu Xian looked up and saw the man in the fog holding a familiar weapon—the God-Slaying Blade! However, the blade had turned completely black, and silver-gray liquid was constantly dripping from the blade.

"Have you polluted Zhou Mu's soul?" Xu Xian held the ancient book tightly.

“Pollution?” The Man in the Mist chuckled. “It’s sublimation. He will become the cornerstone of the new world!”

As the God-Slaying Blade slashed down, space was split open like thin paper. Xu Xian instinctively raised the ancient book to block it, and the blade collided with the pages, sending out dazzling sparks.

The ancient book was not cut open, but Xu Xian was thrown back by the huge impact. He adjusted his posture in the air, and when he landed, he found that the cover of the ancient book was scratched, and a dark red liquid that looked like blood was oozing out.

"Interesting." The figure in the fog approached, "The first generation's bloodline restriction actually recognized you."

Xu Xian suddenly realized something and pressed his palm against the damaged part of the ancient book. Blood seeped into the pages, and the entire book suddenly glowed bright red!

"What are you doing?!" The man in the fog showed panic for the first time.

"The evil thoughts of the First Supreme said," Xu Xian's voice trembled with pain, "this will give me the answer!"

In the crimson light, the ancient book transformed into liquid and flowed into Xu Xian's body. His spirit body instantly materialized, and lines similar to Qin Wang's appeared on his skin. A complete vertical pupil lit up between his eyebrows!

The person in the fog screamed in a voice that was not human: "Impossible! Only the supreme bloodline can do this."

"Have you forgotten?" Xu Xian's voice suddenly took on a double echo, "Qin Wang and I are born from the same soul!"

The fog in the Star Valley was dispelled by the red light, revealing the real starry sky above - there hung a huge, eye-shaped black celestial body, its pupils slowly opening!

When the black celestial body's pupils fully opened, time throughout the Star Valley seemed to stand still. Xu Xian felt an indescribable gaze, a gaze that penetrated his spirit and directly examined his deepest soul.

"Eye of Guixu." The figure in the fog began to collapse. "I shouldn't wake up now."

Xu Xian found himself unable to move, even his thoughts slowed. Only the vertical pupil between his eyebrows moved uncontrollably, forming a strange resonance with the giant eye in the sky.

【Container.Qualified】

Ancient whispers echoed directly in his mind. Xu Xian saw a vision: At the dawn of time, the first generation of twins wasn't born naturally, but was deliberately created by this "Heavenly Eye"! The true purpose of the Star Chain Array is to serve as a bridge between the Abyss and the present world!
"It turns out that we are all just pawns." Xu Xian said with difficulty.

The Sky Eye's pupils contracted, as if surprised by his awakening. The next second, unimaginable pain swept through his body—the Sky Eye was forcibly reading his memory!

Just as Xu Xian was about to collapse, a gray-gold light suddenly burst out from his chest. Qin Wang's voice boomed like thunder: "Go back to your Guixu!"

The projection of the Star Chain Array stretched across the sky, and the seventeen realms' spiritual veins intertwined into a web, temporarily isolating the Heavenly Eye. Xu Xian seized this fleeting opportunity and used all his strength to activate the Blood Pupil between his eyebrows.

"God-killing Blade! Return!"

The black long sword inserted in the distance trembled violently, suddenly breaking free from the control of the man in the fog, and turned into a stream of light and flew into Xu Xian's hand. The moment the blade touched the blood pupil, Xu Xian saw the true name of this weapon:
【Kalpa Extinction·Severing Cause and Effect】

Without hesitation, he turned around and stabbed the long knife into his own forehead!

"Pfft!"

The blood-red pupil was pierced by the blade, and the Heavenly Eye let out a deafening scream. Xu Xian's vision was flooded with blood, and the last thing he saw was the collapsed figure in the fog and a column of gray-gold light descending from the sky.
When Xu Xian opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a pure white void. Across from him stood an equally bewildered Qin Wang. Between them hovered the God-Slaying Blade, its blade pulsing with gray-gold and blood-red energies.

"Where is this?" Qin Wang frowned. "Our spiritual space," Xu Xian pointed to the God-Slaying Blade, "It has temporarily connected our consciousness."

Qin Wang then noticed the scar between Xu Xian's eyebrows: "What did you do?"

"We've found the truth." Xu Xian briefly recounted his experiences in Starbucks Valley, finally pointing to the God-Slaying Blade, "This is the key—its true name is 'Cataclysm,' capable of severing all cause and effect. The First Supreme Being created it to fight against the Eye of the Void."

Qin Wang reached out and touched the blade, immediately receiving a flood of information. His expression grew increasingly serious. "So the Starlink Array is both a prison and a passage, and we've been trained as sacrifices?"

"It's not just us." Xu Xian smiled bitterly, "Since the first generation, every Supreme Being has been a vessel chosen by the Eye of Guixu."

The two looked at each other in silence, and both saw the determination in each other's eyes.

"There is only one way." Qin Wang said suddenly.

Xu Xian nodded: "Completely cut off the cause and effect."

They grasped the God-Slaying Blade simultaneously. Unable to withstand the power of the two Supremes, the blade began to crack, but the gray-gold and blood-red energies blended perfectly.

"In the name of my order."

"With my Chaos Blood."

"Today, cut the Star Chain and destroy Guixu!"

The God-Slaying Blade erupted with unprecedented brilliance, tearing a crack in the pure white space. Through the crack, they saw the scene of the real world—the Star Chain Array was collapsing, and the spiritual veins connecting the seventeen realms were breaking one by one!

The Eye of Guixu spun wildly, trying to stop this process, but every time its power approached, it would be destroyed by the residual power of the God-Slaying Blade.

"Success?" Xu Xian just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt a palpitation.

Qin Wang's expression also changed: "No, something is coming out!"

The moment the Star Chain Array completely collapsed, a massive black shadow slowly descended from the center of the Eye of Guixu. It was an indescribable presence; just the sight of its outline caused the two men's consciousness to collapse!
"The first generation. Complete evil thoughts." Qin Wang struggled to maintain consciousness.

Xu Xian held his hand tightly: "There is one last step."

They simultaneously thrust their God-Slaying Blades into each other's hearts! This wasn't an attack, but rather the ultimate expression of trust—only the mutual annihilation of the powers of the two Supremes could produce an explosion powerful enough to destroy the First Generation's evil intentions!
“Senior Brother.”

"Junior brother."

In the last moment before their consciousness faded, they saw pure white light burst out from the cracks in the God-Slaying Blade. That light swept across the entire universe like a tide, and the first generation of evil thoughts roared unwillingly, and the Eye of Guixu slowly closed.
After the white light, the Seventeen Realms returned to peace. The Star Chain Array vanished, but each realm regained its ability to function independently. The ancient tree in the Yuheng Realm began to sprout again, and beneath it lay two unconscious figures—the vertical lines between their brows were gone, resembling ordinary mortals.

In the distance, the surviving monks were rushing towards this side.

In the sky, the rising sun casts warm light, as if witnessing the beginning of a new era.

The morning light penetrated the clouds of the Yuheng Realm, gilding the ancient tree with a golden edge. The two people beneath the tree opened their eyes almost simultaneously and looked around in confusion.

"This is..." Qin Wang propped himself up and found that his gray-gold robe had turned into coarse linen, and he could no longer feel the surging spiritual power flowing in his palms.

Xu Xian touched his forehead, which was smooth and flat, with no trace of vertical pupils anymore. "Have we really become mortals?"

A cacophony of voices echoed in the distance. A group of cultivators arrived on flying swords, led by none other than the Star Alliance's new law enforcement elder—Mo Huaishan, the former Yuheng Realm guardian. He landed in front of the two men, warily assessing the two suddenly appearing "mortals."

"Who are you? Why are you in the restricted area?"

Qin Wang and Xu Xian smiled at each other. Xu Xian brushed the dust off his sleeves and said, "Just a lost traveler."

Mo Huaishan frowned, and swept the spirit bead in his hand over the two people, and indeed there was no spiritual power reaction at all. He was about to continue questioning when he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from behind:
“Elder! The ancient tree is blooming!”

Everyone looked up to see tens of thousands of white flowers blossoming simultaneously from the once withered treetops. Where petals fell, scorched earth revived, and dried-up springs gushed forth again. Even more miraculous, each petal carried a subtle Daoist aura, captivating the cultivators present.

Mo Huaishan didn't bother to question him and hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Collect these spiritual flowers!"

Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Wang helped Xu Xian up and quietly withdrew from the crowd. They walked down the mountain along the path, their backs gradually disappearing in the morning mist.

"Where to go next?" Xu Xian kicked away a small stone, enjoying the long-lost relaxation.

Qin Wang looked at the rising sun in the distance and said, "I heard that a new tavern has opened on the coast of the East China Sea."

Donghai City was the most prosperous mortal city in the Yuheng Realm. At noon, two men in plain clothes sat facing each other, drinking wine, by the windows on the second floor of Zuixian Tower.

"Shopkeeper! Another pot of 'Shaodaozi'!" Xu Xian shouted, slamming his fist on the table, drawing the attention of the surrounding diners.

Qin Wang held his forehead and said, "Brother, we have already drunk three pots."

"What are you afraid of?" Xu Xian's cheeks flushed slightly. "Anyway, what you're spending now is the money you earned from fortune-telling!"

There was a sudden commotion downstairs. A group of Star Alliance monks rode by, and Mo Huaishan, the leader, was reading a notice:
"By order of the Supreme One, the spiritual root testing system is hereby abolished. All mortals may now travel to the 'Inquiry Hall' in each city to learn basic cultivation techniques."

The drinkers were discussing this. Some said it was a tactic used by the Star Alliance to win over the hearts of the people, while others said it was a last will left by the two Supreme Beings before their deaths.

"The fall of the Supreme?" Xu Xian almost spit out his drink. "We clearly..."

Qin Wang kicked him under the table and lowered his voice: "We are mortals now, remember?"

A white petal floated in from the window and landed right in the wine glass. Xu Xian picked up the petal and was suddenly stunned—on the back of the petal, written in tiny handwriting: [The Guixu has not been destroyed, the Heavenly Eye still exists].

The two looked at each other and put down their glasses at the same time.

"It seems..." Qin Wang sighed, "our retirement plan will have to be postponed."

Xu Xian crushed the flower petals and cast his gaze towards the East China Sea: "I heard that fishermen recently spotted a 'fairy mountain' in the Guixu Sea area?" (End of Chapter)
