All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Seeing that Xiao Ai Immortal Venerable's essence had been destroyed, Wang Gan waved his hand, and the divine runes dissipated.

A white sphere of light was seen floating in the air.

Without Wang Gan even making a move, the white orb of light, or rather, the 'immortal seed,' eagerly flew into Wang Gan's hand.

This is the 'demon seed' that Wang Gan left in Xiao Ai Immortal Venerable's body. At the time, Xiao Ai Immortal Venerable thought it was Wang Gan's trick and did not want to weaken her own state to deal with this thing. But she did not expect that Wang Gan did not intend to play dirty tricks at all, but directly used cheat codes to sweep through!
Therefore, after Xiao Ai Immortal Venerable died, he left behind this part of the cultivation essence that transcends life and death, which is the essence of a powerful being who survives between life and death—the 'Immortal Seed'!
Nourished within Xiao Ai Xianzun's body, it successfully evolved into an existence even more powerful than the original demonic seed, without any side effects. If anyone obtained it, they could achieve at least the 'Dao Integration' realm, or even glimpse the 'Life and Death Realm'—a super rare and precious treasure!

But such things are rare and the conditions are harsh and complex. Only someone like Wang Gan, who has cheated his way to the top, could kill someone with a higher cultivation level than you.

Without hesitation, Wang Gan put away the immortal seed in his hand.
[World Quest: Unravel the Secret to Immortality in This World, Completed.]

On the other side, Master Zhang, with his upright figure, sat cross-legged on the spot, his eyes closed and silent.

Surrounding him were Zhao Fangxu and his team from NaDuTong, all staring nervously at a screen that was fading white.

Even satellite positioning couldn't keep up with Wang Gan and his companion's combat movements, often only capturing partial footage to glimpse their devastating combat power.

After a long time, Zhang Zhiwei suddenly opened his eyes.
"ended."

Zhao Fangxu immediately spoke nervously.
"What happened to Master Zhang?"

Zhang Zhiwei did not answer directly, but instead looked down at his dantian.

A golden sphere of light suddenly surged out of Zhang Zhiwei's body. Within the dense runes on the surface of the sphere, one after another ghostly heads appeared, faintly emitting painful and desperate roars.

The interplay of gold and dark gray creates an eerie atmosphere.

Upon closer inspection, these agonizing, howling ghostly figures were actually the appearances of the Celestial Masters of past dynasties!

"Celestial Master's Salvation"

Zhao Fangxu recognized the origin of this object and realized something, staring intently at the Celestial Master's Decree in front of him.

As some kind of restraint was broken, the many Celestial Masters on the Celestial Master's Pass suddenly stopped roaring and instead fell silent, closing their eyes in unison.
As the Celestial Master's Decree floated in the air and rose inch by inch, its golden light grew increasingly bright, almost blinding.
boom!
With a loud bang, like a punctured balloon, the Celestial Master's Degree, which had carried the responsibility of the Celestial Master for thousands of years, suddenly shattered, turning into countless golden specks of light, and finally vanished into nothingness.
“I really won.”

Zhang Zhiwei was also moved, realizing that the source of power had disappeared and the Heavenly Master's Power, which had tormented Longhu Mountain for thousands of years, had vanished!
"Finally...it's over..."

Zhao Fangxu instantly went limp; the immense pressure, tightening and loosening in an instant, caused him to kneel on the spot.

Longhu Mountain
Zhang Zhiwei returned to Longhu Mountain as usual and was no longer held accountable.

The winner takes all. The immortal who was originally plotting to corrupt the world is dead, and in his place is another, even more terrifying figure, whose methods and strength are even greater than the original immortal!

They could only be thankful that this banished immortal was still a member of the Order faction. Although his actions were unpredictable, he was at least neutral in the Chaos faction and would not rule the world or carry out any world-destroying plans.

Then, the old master suddenly paused, because he noticed that several people were sitting in the pavilion ahead, seemingly waiting for something.

In the pavilion, a familiar face appeared, looking calm and composed, and sat down at the stone table.

Zhang Zhiwei, with a knowing look on his face, also sat down opposite.

"Place the piece at the center..."

"This is no ordinary chess style."

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the Go board on the stone table and sighed with a smile.

"We only knew that the immortal's cultivation was extraordinary, but we didn't know that his chess skills were also so unusual."

Wang Gan chuckled lightly.

"That's for sure. What I do best is winning games outside the chessboard."

Zhang Zhiwei's expression shifted, and he probed in his tone.

"Could it be."

The two coins, one large and one small, smiled at each other and spoke almost simultaneously!
"Chess Saint Emperor Jing!"

Zhang Zhiwei laughed heartily, his expression reminiscing, "When I was young, I was quite hot-blooded and followed Emperor Jing's chess rules very strictly, often winning against the opponent but not against the game itself..."

Clearly, Zhang Zhiwei was not a good-tempered person when he was young, and he was also highly skilled in chess, often winning against others with the chessboard.

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile.

"No! No!"

"Chess is people, and people are chess. The player is part of the game. Emperor Jing's method is to win both the game and the people, which can be called a win-win situation!"

Zhang Zhiwei cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"I've learned a lot. So there are still masters in Emperor Jing's Chess Saint Way!"

After exchanging compliments, Zhang Zhiwei sighed.

"I never imagined that the secret that has plagued this world for so many years would be solved by you in such a way."

"If I'm not mistaken, you are probably not from this world, just like that 'immortal'."

"In the parlance popular among young people, it's a parallel world."

Zhang Zhiwei truly lives up to his reputation as an old man who surfs the internet intensively; he even knows about parallel universes.

"Pretty much. I came here by chance and just did it on the spur of the moment."

Wang Gan remained noncommittal.

"But the banished immortal, Zhang Chulan..."

Zhang Zhiwei spoke with concern.

Zhang Chulan was, after all, his grand-disciple, and Zhang Zhiwei couldn't just sit idly by.

"Don't worry, this guy isn't dead."

Wang Gan smiled.
"This kid is a lucky guy. When I fought him, I destroyed the entire underground base, but he managed to hide in the aftershocks and escape unscathed."

"In the coming decades, with Zhang Chulan's talent, the position of Celestial Master will undoubtedly belong to him, since the Celestial Master title will no longer exist."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded, then suddenly his expression turned serious, and he stared intently at Wang Gan.

"Thank you very much for protecting me, Immortal."

"But I have one more question..."

Seeing the old Celestial Master's hesitant expression, Wang Gan smiled.

Any order would be extremely wary of an existence with power beyond the norm; it's nothing more than the Dark Forest Law of the transcendental realm.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in ruling the world or anything like that, and I have even less interest in being some kind of Inhuman King."

"After all, you know, I'm above..."

"Someone!"

Wang Gan pointed upwards with a solemn expression, indicating that he was someone of considerable importance.

hiss..
Zhang Zhiwei was somewhat surprised. Could there really be a celestial realm?!

Immediately afterward, Wang Gan abruptly ended his conversation with the old Celestial Master, letting out a long sigh and saying:
"The higher-ups are urging me, Celestial Master. My time is running out. We'll meet again someday."

Before he finished speaking, a pillar of heaven suddenly appeared above Wang Gan's head. He ascended along the pillar and vanished in a flash of white light.

Zhang Zhiwei: ? ? ?

No way, buddy, you've really ascended to godhood! (End of Chapter)
