All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

"This is."

Zhang Chulan stared blankly, somewhat dazed.
Both the immortal corpse hovering between life and death and the extraordinary sealed room left him somewhat speechless.

"The sealing power mobilized by the spirit of humanity."

Wang Gan carefully examined the sealing runes above, below, left, and right, a look of understanding flashing across his face.
What sustains these powerful seals is not Qi or other energy, but the Qi of humanity, which can be described as the national destiny or the vital energy gathered by ordinary people.

The more prosperous a place is, the stronger its spirit of humanity becomes. Wang Gan had some contact with people in the Tang Dynasty, just like Bi Xuan, the Turkic martial master, or Fu Cailin, the savior of Goguryeo. In fact, they were also subtly blessed by the spirit of humanity. It was only through popular support that such a grandmaster-level powerhouse could emerge.
When Wang Gan became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he could also vaguely feel the blessing of human destiny, so his breakthrough to the Shattered Void Realm was much smoother later on.

"No wonder it can suppress 'immortal corpses' of such a level."

"No wonder. This underground base, the place where the immortal corpse is sealed, is deliberately built beneath a densely populated city."

Wang Gan thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

When he learned the location of the underground base, he was surprised for a moment. It was actually located in the city center. Now it seems that there are probably some experts within the government!

"So... the Eight Extraordinary Techniques originated from this guy, right?"

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard. He wasn't stupid; in fact, he was quite clever and immediately realized what was going on.

The corpse in front of me, which looks like it took the entire nation's resources to seal away, is the source of the greatest secret in the world of supernatural beings!

"good."

Wang Gan nodded.

"Not only that, the Celestial Master Degree of Longhu Mountain also originated from this guy. To be precise, not only the Celestial Master Degree, but also the ultimate goal of all you extraordinary people, whether it is ascension or natural death, the energy of the extraordinary people after death will return to this guy's body."

"Until...resurrection!"

hiss!
Zhang Chulan gasped.
No wonder. No wonder everyone who knows this secret keeps it hidden, because it's just too shocking and unsettling. The starting point and the end point of an extraordinary person are both a corpse?!

"So, Ancestor, you wouldn't be a traitor, would you?!"

Zhang Chulan's expression changed, and he quickly took several steps back.

This guy clearly has low moral standards. Judging from this, he might be willing to be someone else's guide in order to achieve immortality or something!
"I'm too tough to learn to bend over!"

Wang Gan chuckled.
"And between him and me, he is clearly the challenger!"

Zhang Chulan felt a pang of unease and almost instantly looked up at the sky—there were only alloy walls and sealing runes, and no cows at all! The Immortal was undoubtedly the strongest on Earth, but the opponent was the source of all other beings and Qi, a being that could be called a god, demon, or immortal!

Immortal and indestructible, able to roam the world freely, search for souls and seize spirits, alter memories, possess the power to swallow the heavens and earth, have divination skills, as well as spatial teleportation and time manipulation.

Zhang Chulan himself was practicing the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. If he could master all eight techniques and use them freely, Zhang Chulan knew what kind of terrifying supernatural power that would be.

Wang Gan's expression turned serious. He then squatted down and placed his palm on the runes on the ground. In an instant, powerful true energy surged forth, violently destroying the sealing runes in front of him!
Destruction is always easier than creation. Perhaps creating this seal exhausted a country's financial, material, and human resources, but destroying it is much easier than imagined.

Because this seal isn't specifically designed for outsiders, but rather for the troublesome individual inside the seal.

boom!
The room was filled with rune seals, but in an instant, golden cracks appeared inch by inch, and spider web-like cracks covered the entire room... Bang!
The runes throughout the room turned into starlight and vanished into thin air.

call out!
Almost instantly, the enormous 'qi' existing in the air moved on its own without wind, transforming into a tangible mist that surged towards the room, instantly filling it with white 'mist'. This 'qi' seemed to possess a certain sentience, as naturally as an infant returning to its mother's embrace.

Moreover, above the underground base, the white energy transformed into a tornado-like entity, gathering in the air to form a strange vortex that could even be seen by ordinary people outside!

Wang Gan watched this scene calmly.
This is the function of these seals: to greatly reduce the concentration of Qi around the immortal corpse, thereby slowing down the process of the 'immortal corpse's' resurrection. And these people have undoubtedly succeeded, largely inhibiting the absorption of Qi.
However, this is still a case of drinking poison to quench thirst. In Wang Gan's opinion, after thousands of years of repair, the resurrection of this immortal corpse is only a matter of a moment.

As a massive amount of Qi was completely absorbed by the immortal corpse in front of him, the immortal corpse finally reacted!
To be precise, inside the skeletal chest cavity, the half-rotten heart suddenly started moving, transforming from a subtle vibration into a slight beating. Although slight, it was exceptionally powerful and contained a certain Daoist rhythm!
Immediately afterwards, the white skeleton, which resembled shattered jade, also moved, driven by the rotting heart!

Suddenly, the lifeless, snow-white head raised its head, and two tangible beams of light pierced through the empty eye sockets, seemingly piercing through endless distances and even time and space!
Wang Gan admired the resurrection of this level of cultivator. The principles and truths they embodied were so captivating that even from a distance, they were mesmerizing and irresistible!
boom!
Suddenly, Wang Gan's figure shifted, and in an instant, he appeared in front of the immortal corpse, pressing down with a palm without the slightest hesitation.
This palm strike was delivered with all its might, not only combining the power of the dragon and elephant blood and qi, but also the power of the 'small three-in-one' and 'large three-in-one', all compressed into a single strike and poured out!

Sneak attack!

The void flickered! The sound of the wind vanished! An incredible burst of energy exploded, and space seemed to cave in inch by inch!

Wang Gan frowned, staring at the 'immortal corpse' so close to him.

The immortal corpse slowly turned its head, tilting it towards Wang Gan. A hint of doubt seemed to flicker in its empty eye sockets, as if it were posing a question.
What are you doing, clown?
"hehe.."

Wang Gan withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly.
As expected, even a half-dead, inanimate object was beyond the reach of an immortal of this level. Not only him, but the authorities had likely already tested this.

It seems that even after being bombarded by various high-tech weapons, the immortal corpse was not harmed in the slightest. Otherwise, the authorities would not have set up such a large formation to suppress the immortal corpse here in a desperate and ineffective manner.

"As expected. This kind of thing is beyond the realm of common sense."

Zhang Chulan's expression changed drastically. Seeing this, his heart raced, and he wished he could slip away as quickly as possible.
He's just a fledgling, inexperienced individual, and to have to face such a terrifying opponent right from the start is far too much to ask! (End of Chapter)
