Awakening Daily Intelligence Panel, Grind to Become a True Immortal

Although the zombie in front of him was strange, it had no ability to fight back under the soul-gathering light of the Soul Gathering Tower.

The Soul Gathering Tower is a supreme treasure that can restrain extremely yin things. This zombie is really unlucky. If it encounters other cultivators, even if they use the supreme treasure, it will not be controlled at the first encounter.

"This place is really weird. Zombies can actually be born in this blessed land."

After seeing the zombie immobilized, Qin Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I've always been cautious. I saw the situation was bad and summoned the Soul Gathering Tower. Otherwise, if the zombie had attacked, I would probably have been seriously injured."

After taking a long breath, Qin Wang walked over and began to examine the zombie in front of him. There was a very obvious difference between this zombie and the zombies in the rumors. The first was that there was a soul in the body of this zombie.

You should know that zombies are called the Tianyan clan. After death, their souls leave their bodies and they are born from the resentment and bad luck of heaven and earth. They are extremely dark and evil.

However, the zombie in front of him went against common sense. It was able to trap the soul in its body and survive for such a long time in a very strange way. It was simply horrifying.

Although the cultivation world has always said that immortals live as long as the heaven and earth, in reality, cultivators often have to go through the three disasters and five declines. If they cannot survive this disaster, all their cultivation will turn to ashes and all their years of cultivation will be in vain.

Even though this zombie body can ignore the five signs of decay, the three disasters are different. They are a disaster that the soul must go through as well. Most cultivators fall in the three disasters that occur every five hundred years.

Most of them lack defensive magic weapons against the soul, which makes them powerless to resist when facing the three disasters that appear directly in the Niwan Palace.

The zombie in front of him should have been in a sealed state for such a long time. Theoretically, it is impossible for him to survive the three disasters in this state, and his soul should have been annihilated long ago.

But in fact, after Qin Wang's investigation, the zombie's soul not only did not show any signs of damage, but was extremely normal, and even more powerful than the soul of an ordinary cultivator.

"Could it be that he is practicing some special secret method, like the Great Heavenly Immortal Art recorded in the method of beheading corpses to become a saint, which does not require going through the three disasters and five declines?"

Immediately, Qin Wang couldn't help but think of the heaven-defying secret method he brought out from the treasure house in the Demon Palace.

If the zombie in front of him was really a disciple of Dong Wanggong, then considering his background at the time, it seemed not impossible for him to learn this heaven-defying secret technique.

Thinking of this, Qin Wang tried to input a stream of magic power directly into the zombie's body to explore the magic power in its meridians and see if there was any essential difference between it and the magic power of "Dapin Tianxian Jue" that he was currently practicing.

"This zombie has indeed practiced this kind of secret technique. My magic power entering its body is like a drop in the ocean. It feels unfathomable. This is definitely not something that people who practice ordinary secret techniques can possess."

When Qin Wang withdrew his magic power, a solemn look appeared on his face. If the other party had not turned into a zombie, Qin Wang was afraid that it would be impossible for him to control the other party so easily.

After thinking it over again and again, Qin Wang decided to try to communicate with the zombie first, but he still needed to be on guard against this guy suddenly turning hostile and attacking him.

This zombie is a true figure from ancient times and definitely knows a lot of secrets. What's more important is that this place is the opponent's territory in some ways, and those restrictions may not be effective on him.

If he could convince the other party, Qin Wang felt that this would be far better than continuing to stalemate with the other party.

Moreover, Qin Wang was also very interested in the other party's secret method of cultivation. This secret method from ancient times was inherited from the famous Dong Wanggong. Just thinking about it was definitely extraordinary.

The most important thing is that Qin Wang is very interested in the saintly weapon he mentioned. Up to now, Qin Wang has never heard of the name of the Taoist weapon.

Thinking of this, Qin Wang tried to weaken the power of the soul-absorbing divine light.

"let me go!"

Almost instantly, the zombie in front of him opened his eyes, roared angrily, and struggled desperately, trying to break free from the soul-absorbing divine light.

It's a pity that everything it did was in vain. The Soul Gathering Tower's ability to defeat extremely yin things was not exaggerated. Even if the divine light was weakened, the zombies could only speak, and their bodies were still suppressed and completely unable to move.

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. There is no deep hatred between us. We can sit down and talk slowly about anything. What do you think?" Qin Wang ignored the other party's struggle and roar, but looked at him in a very calm tone and said.

After hearing Qin Wang's words, the zombie's eyes first flashed with confusion, and then he showed a puzzled expression, as if he was thinking about Qin Wang's words.

After a long while, he seemed to have thought it through, and then he said, "Fellow Daoist, please be magnanimous. Zhong Hanli is not an angry person. It's just that after becoming a zombie, his temperament has become involuntary and sometimes out of control. I hope you will forgive me."

Hearing this, Qin Wang was stunned. He looked at Zhong Hanli, whose cultivation level was comparable to that of a Daluo realm cultivator, and said, "Brother Dao, with such supernatural powers and cultivation, is he also affected by this zombie body?"

"Alas, fellow Daoist, you don't know."

Zhong Hanli heard this and a bitter expression immediately appeared on his face. He sighed and said, "When I turned myself into a zombie, it was not my will. It was really fate that played tricks on me."

"Brother Dao, what do you mean by that?" Qin Wang asked immediately.

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that I am the direct disciple of Emperor Donghua. I am born into the human race and because of my natural talent and intelligence, I am valued by my master."

Zhong Hanli immediately began to talk about the past, "It's just that I was successful at a young age, and I was arrogant and always wanted to go my own way. Because of this, I got into big trouble."

"I still remember that year, when a sudden change struck the West. I didn't know the cause, but disasters continued throughout the world, and all living things wailed everywhere. Master said this was the great karma of the West, and he repeatedly told me to cultivate peacefully in the Donghua Tiandi Palace and never get involved in this karma, otherwise I would be in danger of death and extinction."

"If you don't listen to the old man's advice, you will suffer the consequences. Brother, you probably didn't listen to the words of the King of the East, right?" Qin Wang immediately took over the conversation.

"Yes, I didn't obey Master."

Zhong Hanli's face showed a hint of regret, tears glistening in his eyes. He continued, "At that time, I was confident in my superior cultivation level. I had also practiced the supreme secret technique, the 'Blue Sky Illuminating Origin Sutra,' which claimed I was immune to the Three Calamities and Five Decays. I had transcended the Six Realms and was not bound by the Five Elements. I believed that the so-called karma could not affect me, so I secretly left the Donghua Tiandi Palace without telling my master and headed for the far west."

"And this became the source of all the tragedies, and the reason why I had to turn myself into a zombie."

At the end of his speech, a look of pain appeared on Zhong Hanli's face. Obviously, this experience was extremely painful for him.

"The main culprit behind the devastation in the West is a monster called 'Hou,' which was born during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity and was born with the death energy of heaven and earth. Heaven owes it a debt of karma." "Its rampage in the West is actually Heaven's way of compensating it, which is why the various gods are unwilling to intervene. Unfortunately, I didn't understand this at the time. I only thought it was a demon causing trouble and that everything would be fine once it was gone."

"However, it wasn't until we started fighting that I realized what a foolish mistake I had made. This Qilin's magical power encompasses everything, and I was already at a disadvantage on the first day of our fight. If it weren't for the protection of the Daluo Supreme Treasure bestowed by my master, I'm afraid I would have been killed in the first encounter."

"But even so, even though I was holding the Daluo Supreme Treasure, I couldn't do anything to the monster. Instead, it shattered my magic weapon. Just when I was about to die, Master arrived."

"In the end, the beast died, and I survived. I was glad to be alive, thinking that everything was over."

"But who could have imagined that within less than a year after returning, I would find my body inexplicably failing, and my temperament drastically changed. I constantly craved blood, my movements became erratic, and I frequently experienced amnesia. I had no idea where I had been or what I was doing. I only knew that every time I was awake, my body was always full of blood and energy."

"Is the monster attached to you?" Qin Wang asked curiously.

"Yes and no."

Zhong Hanli nodded first, then shook his head. "I don't know how to put it, but the Qilin is indeed inside me. After I found my master and explained everything, he was silent for a long time. Finally, he went on a long journey and returned with a talisman and a scripture."

"Master said that by applying this talisman and refining this scripture, one might be able to survive this calamity."

After Zhong Hanli finished speaking, he looked at Qin Wang quietly.

"So, you don't know anything about what happened afterwards?" Qin Wang frowned immediately.

If Zhong Hanli did not lie, then the secrets that Zhong Hanli could learn were probably extremely limited, and it could even be said that they were not as detailed and comprehensive as what Qin Wang learned from hearsay.

"Well, since I started practicing and put on the talisman, when I woke up again, I saw you here." Zhong Hanli nodded.

"Fellow Daoist, I have been frank with you. Shouldn't you also talk about your things?" Finally, Zhong Hanli asked Qin Wang.

"What I said before was not false. I was being hunted, so I fled here. I really entered your precious place by mistake." Qin Wang replied seriously.

"Being hunted?"

Zhong Hanli seemed a little surprised after hearing Qin Wang's words. Then, he caught a glimpse of the Soul Gathering Tower above Qin Wang's head and vaguely guessed a possibility, "Killing people to steal treasures?"

"Brother Dao is indeed smart, that's true." Qin Wang immediately agreed with the other party's words.

"This is also common in the prehistoric world, not surprising." Zhong Hanli smiled, then said: "Daoyou, could you please remove the restrictions on me? I feel a little uncomfortable talking to you like this."

"Brother Dao, please don't blame me. I will free you from his restraints."

Having said that, Qin Wang immediately withdrew the soul-absorbing divine light.

Zhong Hanli felt the divine light on his body dissipate, and immediately stretched his body, then said: "Thank you very much, I wonder what your plans are?"

"To be honest, Brother Dao, I saw that this place was the ruins of that blessed land, so I couldn't help but have some thoughts in my mind. I have walked around for quite a while. Except for the places where the restrictions are still there, I have also explored all other places. In this area, the Taoist temple where Brother Dao is located was the first one I explored."

Qin Wang did not hide anything and spoke frankly.

"Fellow Daoist, you are quite frank. If that is the case, then I will take you around to have a look. If it is not an important item, you can take it away if you like it."

Zhong Hanli spoke with a smile, looking warm-hearted.

"That's great. Thank you for your help, Brother." Qin Wang immediately bowed and said.

"So, there's nothing much to see in this dojo. Most of it is empty. When the master accepted disciples, he said he would only accept three, representing the three elements of heaven, earth, and man."

Zhong Hanli immediately said, "Therefore, apart from me, I estimate that there are only two junior brothers' dojos here who I have never met. After so many years, I am afraid that the dojos of the two junior brothers have long been empty."

Finally, Zhong Hanli couldn't help but add, "Perhaps the things in here have been taken away by them a long time ago, and now it's probably just an empty shell."

As he spoke, Zhong Hanli led the way and said, "Fellow Daoist, please come this way. Sixty miles from here, there is a pavilion. That is where the core of the Donghua Tiandi Palace formation is located."

"Now that this blessed land no longer exists, the array's core is no longer important. Since you want to take a look around, why not just disable the array inside? That way, you can enjoy the view to your heart's content."

Hearing Zhong Hanli's words, Qin Wang couldn't help but be stunned. He even suspected that Zhong Hanli was making fun of him. What a guy, the array eye can be closed at will. If there is something suppressed inside the Donghua Tiandi Palace, wouldn't it be possible to escape directly after closing the array?

But then he changed his mind and thought, this is the paradise of Emperor Donghua, so he shouldn't be suppressing something scary in his own home, right?

Therefore, Qin Wang just nodded, which was considered as his agreement with Zhong Hanli's opinion.

As they walked along the road, Qin Wang couldn't help but point curiously at the town-like buildings on both sides and said, "Brother Daoist, may I ask why this place is built like this? Could it be that many cultivators live here?"

Qin Wang pointed at the doors on both sides of the street that had plaques hanging on them but had been closed for a long time, and was very curious.

The layout of this town is not much different from the gathering places of monks in the current cultivation world.

Logically speaking, Emperor Donghua only has three disciples, so he shouldn't need so many streets and houses, right?
"Oh, you mean those? In the past, there were indeed many cultivators living here. Most of them were registered disciples or outer sect servants. With so many people, these things naturally formed."

Zhong Hanli casually replied, then pointed ahead and said, "Look, fellow Daoist, that attic-like building in the distance is the center of the formation of the entire Donghua Tiandi Palace."

"This is the core of the formation that my master personally set up back then. I spent many years here studying formations, but now it feels somewhat like everything has changed." (End of Chapter)
