Crossover anime/manga, immediately transmigrated after death

Keep your spine straight, shoulders relaxed, and chin slightly tucked in.

Cheng Lingshuang taught him the sitting posture method.

The power of incantation flowed within his dantian...

Okay, it seems the Qigong masters and sorcerers of World Three didn't lie to him. The power of incantation is the energy that integrates the spirit and the body, and it does not need to be sought from outside.

Now, let's talk about powers.

While it's called sitting meditation, it's actually more like a method for adjusting breathing and perceiving the universe.

Zhang Yang closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

Whoosh!

It was as if a bright light had appeared in my mind, illuminating the previously pitch-black realm of perception.

Then he felt even more strongly that he was surrounded by gunpowder.

There is no problem with the authority.

【Eternal Flame Seal Illuminates the World】It is actually similar to a flint, which can be used to ignite all things by rubbing them together.

However, judging from the mechanism of the Red Character Seal, Zhang Yang believes that the essence of this power is actually to ignite information. Here, "information" does not refer to a piece of text or data, but to the state of existence of things and historical records.

Zhang Yang sensed a massive amount of sulfur.

This is... Honkai energy?

Zhang Yang had a sudden thought.

The concept of Honkai energy can be explained by examining its underlying architecture.

Imaginary energy is the underlying energy framework that enables the entire "collapsed" universe to function.

If we compare the universe to a massive machine, then imaginary energy is the "electrical energy" that drives this machine.

And what drives all of this is imaginary energy.

Honkai energy is different.

Honkai energy is a product of the transformation of the "Cocoon of the End".

The Cocoon of the End can be understood as a selection process set up by an advanced civilization. It parasitizes the Imaginary Tree, absorbs pure imaginary energy, and then transforms it into highly destructive Honkai energy.

It's like a water purifier, except it turns clean water into poison.

Honkai energy can erode all life, distort all matter, and pollute all pure existence.

It is both a test and a disaster.

All the Honkai phenomena on Earth—the zombies, Honkai beasts, Herrschers—all originate from this transformed energy.

If the "Eternal Flame Illuminates the World" truly ignites information, then can the energy transformed by the Cocoon of the End burn away information related to the Collapse?

Give it a try...

"—Ignite the fire, in this long, dark night, I will be the dawn—"

The Heart Flame suddenly throbbed, and a suction force emanated from the dantian, drawing in strands of the surrounding Honkai energy.

呲味——

The Yellow Court is the cauldron, the Qi Cavity is the furnace, and the essence, energy, and spirit are the grass and mustard.

The Heart Flame actually burned away the impurities from the Honkai energy, turning the poison of civilization into a medicine for civilization!

Honkai energy has reverted to imaginary energy...

Chapter Forty-Four: Let me tell you something first.

The next morning.

The wind blew in from the Gobi Desert, bringing with it a dry, sandy smell.

In the courtyard of the Supreme Freedom Gate, Cheng Ling Shuang was already standing in her usual spot.

White hair, simple clothes, expressionless face, like an icicle stuck in the yard.

Li Sushang stood on the other side, holding a sword in her hand, practicing sword techniques.

He was quite serious about each move.

crunch--

The door to the guest room opened, and Zhang Yang walked out. The morning light shone from behind him, casting a long shadow.

The moment he stood in the courtyard, he transformed completely.

Cheng Ling Shuang narrowed her eyes. Zhang Yang's shoulders had already stretched out, creating a silhouette in her clothes that she had never seen before.

The lines from the shoulders to the back form an arc, like a bow pressed into the ground, ready to pierce the entire sky at any moment.

Cheng Ling Shuang stopped what she was doing, frowned, and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Yang was taken aback: "...Huh?"

"I asked, who are you?" Cheng Ling Shuang's tone remained calm. "You're not the Zhang Yang from yesterday."

Li Sushang also noticed something was wrong. She picked up her sword and came closer, looking him up and down: "Hmm... he does seem different? But his face is still the same."

Cheng Ling Shuang ignored Li Sushang and walked straight to Zhang Yang, touching his arm and then his shoulder.

Then she withdrew her hand and said expressionlessly, "Your bones and muscles have changed. Although the bone structure is still the same, the resilience of your tendons and the density of your bones are completely different from yesterday."

She paused, then said with certainty, "You are someone else in disguise."

Zhang Yang: "..."

Good guy.

What's this woman's hand made of? You can tell her bone density has changed just by touching it?

He took a deep breath, but before he could explain, Li Sushang tensed up, her hand on the hilt of her sword, glaring at him: "Who are you? What did you do to Zhang Yang!"

"...I am Zhang Yang."

"You're lying!" Li Sushang raised her voice. "Master said your meridians have changed!"

"What the hell—"

Zhang Yang reached out and rubbed his temples.

Oh shit.

This script is wrong.

He had finally fought his way back from World Three, killed an ancient fire god, and become the youngest god-slayer, his ambition as vast as the sky. But the first thing he did upon returning to the Free Gate was to be suspected of being an imposter.

He sighed, "I accidentally died once last night and went to another world. I stayed there for a month and just got back."

Cheng Ling Shuang was slightly taken aback.

Li Sushang was also taken aback.

"what?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Judging from their expressions, Zhang Yang knew that this matter was difficult to explain.

"Su Chang, do you still remember the 'secret realm' I told you about in the desert?" He looked at Li Su Chang. "It's the place you go after you die."

Li Sushang frowned, recalling for a moment: "Is it the one you mentioned before... the one that can travel between worlds?"

“Yes.” Zhang Yang explained, “That secret realm has a seven-day cooldown period. But I accidentally died last night, so it automatically triggered the time travel. I went to another world, stayed there for about a month, and then came back.”

Li Sushang's mouth was slightly open, clearly processing the information.

Then her expression suddenly changed: "Wait...you said you died last night? How did you die?"

Zhang Yang remained silent for a moment, then raised the Xuanyuan Sword and handed it over.

"Last night I held your sword in my hand and examined it in my room. Then I fell asleep and had a dream."

"In my dream, there was a woman in white standing on a mountaintop, with her back to me. She turned around, her face blurry. Then she stabbed me with a sword."

"That sword strike was incredibly fast. I didn't even see anything before the man was dead."

Li Sushang took the sword, looked down at the blade, then looked up at him with a blank expression: "...So you were killed by the sword?"

"To be precise, I was killed by the consciousness that remained within the Xuanyuan Sword." Zhang Yang paused, organizing his thoughts. "The Xuanyuan Sword is not an ordinary sword. It is forged from a special material and contains a core fragment of a Herrscher, the so-called Herrscher consciousness. For some reason, this Herrscher consciousness attacked me, and that's why I died."

Li Sushang listened intently, then blinked: "So...you mean there's a monster inside this sword?"

Zhang Yang opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Forget it.

Explaining Honkai energy, Herrscher core, Key of Domination, and thousands of Herrschers to a martial arts girl from the Ming Dynasty... that's a huge undertaking.

"more or less."

"Are you alright now?" Li Sushang took a step closer, looking him up and down. "Are you injured? Is there anything bothering you?"

"I am fine."

"That's good." Li Sushang breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Ling Shuang watched this scene from the side and added expressionlessly, "Su Chang, you trust him too much."

Li Sushang was taken aback: "Huh?"

"You believed everything he said?" Cheng Ling Shuang's tone remained calm. "What secret realm, what world travel, what monsters in the sword. You believed everything he said?"

Li Sushang scratched her head: "But Master, Brother Zhang doesn't seem like a bad person."

Cheng Ling Shuang paused for a moment, "While it's true that good looks don't equate to trustworthiness, what did I teach you before? What is the first precept for navigating the martial world?"

Do we have any precepts?

"Don't let your guard down just because someone is good-looking."

"Did you just make this up, Master?" Li Sushang was speechless and could only ask, "So Master thinks Brother Zhang is lying?"

"He is telling the truth."

Li Sushang blinked: "Huh? Master, didn't you just say..."

“What I just said was ‘you trust him too much,’” Cheng Ling Shuang looked at her expressionlessly. “I didn’t say ‘he was lying.’”

"Then you..."

“Sword Heart will tell me the truth.” Cheng Ling Shuang’s tone remained calm: “Your sword heart cultivation is too shallow to sense it. What my sword heart ‘heard’ was every word he just said, and there was no trace of a lie in it.”

Li Sushang: "..."

Zhang Yang: "..."

Li Sushang coughed lightly, straightening her expression: "Um... Brother Zhang, you said you went to another world and stayed there for a month. What did you encounter?"

"That's a long story," Zhang Yang was about to say.

"and many more!"

Li Sushang suddenly turned around and ran into the house.

Zhang Yang: "..."

Cheng Ling Shuang: "..."

After a while, Li Sushang came out of the house.

He was holding a plate of sunflower seeds in his left hand.

He was holding a plate of dates in his right hand.

He also had a pot of tea tucked under his arm.

She walked to the stone table in the courtyard, arranged the fruits and snacks one by one, then sat down on the stone bench, clapped her hands, looked up at Zhang Yang, and her eyes shone.

"Alright, go ahead and say it."

Zhang Yang: "..."
