Crossover anime/manga, immediately transmigrated after death

It felt like throwing away a piece of clothing that I'd worn for twenty years without washing; I felt so light and refreshed.

Zhang Yang pointed around and said, "Hua, you guys chat for a bit, I'm going to take care of some things in the city."

He turned to Li Sushang and said, "Sushang, do me a favor and come with me to appease the people in the city."

"Ah I?"

“That’s right. You are the top disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect and a rising star in the martial arts world. Your presence and a single word from you would be more effective than a hundred of my words.”

Li Sushang thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"alright."

“I’ll go too,” Cheng Ling Shuang suddenly said.

Zhang Yang glanced at her: "Where are you going?"

"To keep an eye on you."

"Supervise me in what way?"

"I'll keep an eye on you so you don't take the opportunity to be alone with Su Chang."

"...Why are you so blunt?"

"I've always been very straightforward."

Li Sushang's face turned red again.

"Alright, let's leave for now." Zhang Yang immediately pulled the two away to deal with some follow-up matters. Although theoretically all the trouble was caused by Ma Feima, those who got close were evaporated by the beam of the Herrscher of Domination, so everyone just felt that there was some kind of supernatural disaster.

“There’s something wrong with the sword I gave you.” Fu Hua looked at him. “I only found out recently. This sword was originally forged using the core of a Herrscher, and after being nurtured by sword intent for several years, it has actually developed a demonic heart…”

She briefly explained the origins of the Law of Domination.

Zhang Yang, Li Sushang, and Cheng Lingshuang strolled around the streets and alleys of Bacheng.

Li Sushang was responsible for explaining to the people in the city. Her clear and crisp voice, coupled with her innocent and harmless face, worked surprisingly well.

"Don't panic, everyone. This is the Supreme Freedom Sect of the Taixu lineage. They were slaying demons and monsters in the city and are fine now, but it's still best to be careful recently!"

Cheng Ling Shuang stood by with a blank expression the whole time, not saying a word. Just standing there was enough to shut everyone up.

This place is also close to Tianqiong Peak, and I have seen disciples of the Taixu Sword Sect go down the mountain to slay demons and monsters, so I naturally accept this explanation.

Would a disciple of an immortal really lie?

When the three returned to their original spot, Fu Hua finished explaining the matter of the Herrscher of the Law. Ma Feima listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion, but he grasped the gist of it.

Despite killing their master, the Seven Swords of Taixu still persisted in slaying demons and monsters, eliminating countless Honkai Beasts. Now, they heard that the leader of these monsters had been resurrected.

Although bizarre, it's still acceptable.

Moreover.

Would his master lie to him?

Finally, Fu Hua asked, "Tell me about yourself, why are you here?"

Ma Feima snapped out of his daze and organized his thoughts: "I heard that my second senior sister sent a letter to all the major sects, saying that she wanted to reveal the truth about Master's 'ascension' at Tianqiong Peak and invite heroes from all over the world to gather at Tianqiong Peak to witness it together, so I rushed back."

"The truth about ascension?" Li Sushang was taken aback. "She's going to reveal what happened back then?"

“I don’t know.” Ma Feima shook his head: “She found me before and asked me to tell Lao Wu and Lao San about Master’s resurrection. I went to Lao Wu first, as you all know, and then I went to Lao San and heard about it there.”

"The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt. I thought she had deliberately sent me away so she could do something to Chaoyu, which is why I came back."

Zhang Yang squatted on the steps beside him, as if listening to gossip: "So she sent you away to prevent you from ruining her plans?"

"probably."

What do you think she's trying to do?

Ma Feima paused for a moment: "I don't know if 'Peerless' Su Mei's words will always come true. She is Su Mei, after all. She never does anything without certainty, and she never makes meaningless promises."

Fu Hua listened quietly, her expression unchanged: "When you burned down Mount Taixu, wasn't it Mei'er who arranged my coffin?"

Ma Feima looked up at her: "It's like this, Master..."

“That place is very special. There’s no way the fire could reach here. I’m afraid the ‘Peerless’ sword has also affected her mind. I’m afraid she wants to turn me into a Herrscher body.”

"What?" Ma Feima was shocked.

Zhang Yang was not surprised at all: "In terms of the result, Hua's body is indeed the most ideal Herrscher vessel for the Honkai. If her consciousness were to leave, she would probably be immediately sent to the Herrscher core."

Cheng Ling Shuang's tone was icy: "But Master isn't in the coffin... It's Seventh Brother, isn't it?"

“Just plain clothes.” Fu Hua’s tone was somewhat complicated.

"Mother..."

Li Sushang was also taken aback.

At this moment, Ma Feima connected everything in his mind: "Master, do you mean that Second Senior Sister has been controlled by the Sword Demon, which is why she plotted to kill her master twenty years ago, with the aim of stealing Master's remains and turning them into the Sword Demon's body?"

Fu Hua shook her head: "I don't know, but you can ask her yourself. It's better to ask directly if you have any questions."

“If you have any questions, just ask directly…” Ma Feima repeated this sentence.

Zhang Yang said, "Don't ask Hua anymore, she really doesn't know."

Ma Feima replied, "There really are things in this world that Master doesn't know."

"There are many examples, such as her not knowing about the back door of the Void Treasury."

"What is the Void Treasury?" Ma Feima asked casually, blowing his horse whistle.

Fu Hua asked in confusion, "Is there a backdoor to the Void Treasury?"

Zhang Yang shrugged: "Weilwei will leave a backdoor for all the works."

"..."

Fu Hua thought for a moment, her memory somewhat hazy.

However, I always felt that what Zhang Yang said was true.

But why bring up the First Divine Key all of a sudden?

Da da da—

The sound of hooves rang out. A tall, magnificent horse, entirely crimson with not a single stray hair, possessed smooth muscle lines and an untamed gaze.

“Nightblood.” Ma Feima patted the horse’s neck. “My old buddy.”

Nightblood snorted and flicked its tail.

“Let’s go,” Fu Hua said. “There’s still a long way to go to Tianqiong Peak.”

The group left the city gate and walked up the mountain path.

Zhang Yang walked on the far side, his hands in his pockets, humming a tune whose melody was unknown.

Li Sushang walked beside him and asked him what song he was humming.

"A song about summer."

"summer?"

"Yes. 'The summer breeze is blowing warmly, passing through my hair and ears...'"

"Hey, this tune is actually quite nice."

"Of course. It's a song from our area."

Li Sushang hummed along a couple of lines, but she was terribly off-key. Zhang Yang laughed, and she angrily shut up again.

Cheng Ling Shuang walked behind, watching the two playfully bickering in front of her. After a moment of silence, she asked, "My lord, why did you suddenly bring up something about the myriad treasures of the void just now?"

"An official...?" Ma Feima asked, puzzled.

Fu Hua glanced at him sideways, then, remembering Ma Feima's bizarre relationship problems, suddenly felt a pang of stomach pain.

Is your disciple being too indifferent to worldly opinions in matters of the heart?

Zhang Yang looked ahead and said calmly, "Because I suddenly remembered that I pointed out a road to someone before, and the end of that road is where we are going now."

Chapter Sixty-One: The Entire Martial Arts World is in a Frenzy

The mountain road winds its way uphill, and the trees on both sides gradually change from low shrubs to tall pines and cypresses.

Zhang Yang walked in the middle of the group, his hands behind his head, looking quite relaxed.

Fu Hua walked beside him, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "What level have you reached in your martial arts cultivation?"

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "If I had to say, it would probably be that the force of the punches is like thunder, but it's not quite at the level of splitting mountains and rivers with a single finger."

The force of the punch was like thunder; the sheer power of the punch alone was enough to terrify anyone.

The ability to divide mountains and rivers with a single finger is known as "Taoist water division," which means that one can freely exert force on any part of the body, achieving an incredible level of control over one's own energy, and even walking on water with ease.

Walking on water sounds incredible, but there are actually creatures that can do it.

Fu Hua paused for a moment, seemingly considering how to express himself, before saying, "You are learning the 'Inch Heart Fist Technique.' I discovered that the Divine Sound was causing conflict with me, preventing me from entering the artificial collapse realm. Therefore, I conceived of a martial art that uses the human body to modify the brain."

"The Sword Heart Technique continuously stimulates the brain at the subconscious level, inducing the body to grow and develop in a direction that can better adapt to Honkai energy."

"The Great Void Sword Qi first trains the brain, and then trains martial arts and true qi on the basis of brain training."

"The Inch Heart Boxing Technique, on the other hand, is the opposite. It trains the body to control all parts of the body and then goes back to modify the brain."

"This realm is—to see the divine without decay, to break through the void."

Zhang Yang blinked: "That sounds impressive."

“These eight words are not rhetoric.” Fu Hua’s tone was very serious. “Human senses are limited. The eyes can only see visible light, the ears can only hear sounds of a certain frequency, and the skin can only perceive superficial changes in temperature and airflow. The so-called ‘seeing the gods without decay’ means breaking through these limitations and perceiving the various ‘mysteries’ of the world.”

"for example?"

"Magnetic fields, light, gravity, the folds of space, the flow of true qi... the unseen laws behind the operation of all things. When you reach this level, you can perceive how the world works, so you can also use your own magnetic field to drive magnetic fields, use your own gravity to drive gravity, and use your own true qi to drive true qi."

Zhang Yang seemed thoughtful: "'Breaking through the void'?"

"Create an imaginary singularity in your dantian and connect it directly to the imaginary space. Once you reach this stage, the true qi in your body will no longer be free-floating energy in the world, but will be directly drawn from the imaginary space. It will be inexhaustible and inexhaustible."

Zhang Yang paused for a moment: "Hua, you should know that what I'm using is neither Honkai energy nor imaginary energy. I can't even be sure what the energy flowing out of my dantian automatically is; I only know it's called curse power."

“The principles are the same,” Fu Hua said. “Your energy foundation is indeed different. I’m just telling you that the ‘Inch Heart Fist’ is essentially a transformation of the body.”

"The application of various technologies from pre-civilizations at the biological level, and breaking through the void is also the application of the technology of the Blank Key."

"Of course, these are just my own insights, but since you can use martial arts to transform your body to adapt to Honkai energy and reach the 'Herrscher' level, and you don't seem to have any conflict with it, you can also transform yourself to adapt to cursed power and reach the god level."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang fell into deep thought.

That's definitely the truth.

Putting everything else aside, if one reaches the level of "dividing mountains and rivers with a single finger," the fiery energy can spread throughout the entire body like a large net, at which point it would be practically an active protection system for a war chariot.

Firing "bullets" to intercept incoming shells or missiles is completely different from traditional armor that simply passively "takes hits".

Ma Feima, who was walking ahead, suddenly slowed down.

"Coming."

Tianqiong Peak, Taixu Sword Sect.

A large crowd gathered in front of the mountain gate.

The banners of various sects fluttered in the mountain wind.

Moshan, Shaolin, Lotus, Huashan...

Almost all the top-ranking sects in the righteous martial arts world of China have arrived.

There were also some leaders of small sects who stood on the periphery with their disciples, craning their necks to look ahead.

Zhang Yang mingled in the crowd, watching with great interest this scene that had a strong martial arts feel.

Li Sushang stood beside him, watching with great interest, and even offering her comments from time to time.

"That is the descendant of the legendary Master Ziyang Mountain. It is said that his master lived to be 120 years old and even met Master Chiyuan."

"That was a deep-seated hatred, and I never expected that he would have a scar with bronze characters on his chest."

"Sect Leader Mei of the Moshan Sect has also arrived..."

Cheng Ling Shuang stood expressionless behind the two, her white hair covered by a cloth.
