Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

Tang Clan, Tang Tomb.

Zhang Yan stared silently at the mounds of graves, while Xu Xin pointed to one of the newer graves and spoke up.

"This is the joint tomb of Dong Chang and Xiao Mei. When the Jia Shen Rebellion broke out, Dong Chang wanted to die but Xiao Mei stopped him. After I cultivated the Dan Shi technique, I never left the Tang Tomb again."

"Dong Chang and Xiao Mei dispersed their Qi and became ordinary people. After that, the two went into seclusion in the mountains until half a month ago when they moved back to Tang Tomb."

The current sect leader, Tang Miaoxing, looked at the grave mound and said, "According to the rules of the Tang Clan, neither of them is qualified to be buried in the Tang Tomb."

At this point, Tang Miaoxing looked at Zhang Yan and Xu Xin, and then spoke.

"Now that the Jia Shen Rebellion is over, and even Duanmu Ying has returned to Jishetang, these two should also return to their roots."

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Sect Leader Tang, to be honest, I have high hopes for your innovative ideas. In that case, be bold and try your luck at one of the Ten Elders' positions."

Since that night, Wang Ai has been officially recognized as one of the Ten Elders of the Wang family, and that position remains vacant to this day.

Tang Miaoxing was taken aback when he heard Zhang Yan's words, and then burst into laughter.

"Brother Zhang, why should we, who run a martial arts school, compete for the title of one of the Ten Elders?"

Although he said that, he still turned his gaze to Xu Xin and then spoke.

"Besides, if we're going to innovate, we should start with internal innovation, shouldn't we, Tang Xin?"

Xu Xin was startled by Tang Miaoxing's address, while Zhang Wang, who was standing next to him, immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly spoke up.

"Sect Leader, Tang Miaoxing! What are you doing?"

Tang Miaoxing looked at the three people, then at the various mounds of graves in Tangzhong, which were the graves of inner disciples who died from practicing Dan Shi. He spoke.

"Pass on the position, and then inherit the Dan Shi."

Tang Miaoxing was the only sect leader in the Tang Clan who had not mastered the Dan Shi technique. After the peace was restored, the Tang Clan no longer had a single disciple who had mastered the Dan Shi technique.

Outside the sect, the Tang Clan's Dan Shi technique has become a lost art.

Upon hearing this, Elder Zhang Wang of the outer sect immediately retorted, "Dan Shi?! Dan Shi is already your inner demon, how can you possibly succeed in cultivation like this?"

Tang Miaoxing took off her shirt and said to Zhang Wang.

“Old Zhang, you saw the inner disciples in the Tang Tomb too. This was all caused by my inner demons. If it weren’t for me, they wouldn’t have died from cultivating the Pill Devouring Technique.”

"This is all my fault!"

"Now that the Jia Shen Rebellion is over, it is time for me, the sect leader who has not mastered Dan Shi, to inherit it."

Tang Yao, an inner disciple standing to the side, spoke up, addressing Tang Miaoxing.

"Sect Leader, you're wrong. You didn't mislead us. After witnessing Senior Tang's Dan Shi, we all voluntarily began to cultivate Dan Shi."

"As inner disciples, we should take the lead; it is our honor!"

As the outer disciples stared in disbelief, Sect Leader Tang Miaoxing gently patted Tang Yao on the shoulder without saying a word.

As a remnant of the old era, Tang Miaoxing, the leader, was well aware of his own stubbornness. In terms of adaptability, he was not even as good as Tang Xin.

Dan Shi must inherit this today; it is the pride of the older generation of the Tang Clan!

Zhang Yan looked at the group of people from the Tang Clan, and watched Tang Miaoxing sit down cross-legged, but he didn't say a word.

The martial arts technique that Tang Miaoxing had practiced countless times in his mind was finally being put into practice on his old body today.

"Uh~"

Just as Zhang Wang had said, Tang Miaoxing's obsession with the Dan Shi technique was too deep, and within a short time, signs of failure appeared.

His face twitched violently, blood gushed from his gums, and he turned to look at Zhang Yan, his eyes pleading not to intervene, but rather for help.

Failure is also part of the Dan Shi inheritance!

"Master!"

"Senior Brother Tang!"

"Tang Miaoxing!"

Seeing this, the members of the Tang Clan all showed expressions of pity, but none of them made a move; instead, they all looked at Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan simply watched this scene indifferently, just as he had before the Battle of Taishan. Back then, the Tang Clan was fighting to meet the enemy, but this time it was just an old man's obsession.

As a unique skill of the Tang Clan, Dan Shi requires facing the great terror of life and death, and must be mastered through repeated assassination missions. This is why Dan Shi was almost lost after the chaos of war.

At that time, Zhang Yan improved many of the Tang Clan's techniques, but he did not touch the Dan Shi technique, because it was the foundation of the Tang Clan. It was not just a technique; as Tang Miaoxing said, it brought pride to the Tang Clan.

"Help me! Help me!"

Cracks appeared on Tang Miaoxing's body. His will finally collapsed. He twisted his body on the ground and crawled slowly toward Tang Xin, hoping that he would give him a quick death.

Tang Xin watched Tang Miaoxing struggle in pain without reacting at all, until his twisted body stopped moving.

Zhang Yan stepped forward, flipped his hand to reveal a small food pouch, and with a flash of light, Tang Miaoxing's corpse disappeared.

He said to Tang Xin, "Before you inherit the position of sect leader, come with me to a place."

Tang Xin didn't ask where they were going. He simply walked over to Zhang Wang, gave him a few instructions, and then came up behind Zhang Yan. Flames rose up, and the two disappeared.

At a port, Zhang Zhiwei, dressed in a suit and tie, was rapidly typing on his phone.

"Junior Brother Tian, ​​Brother Zhang Yan and I are going out to sea. You need to take good care of the house. Also, please help me pay the money for Lingyu's wedding. I won't be back for a while."

After sending the message, I took a picture of the nearby scenery and then turned off my phone very skillfully, without giving Senior Brother Tian a chance to reply.

Lu Ci, also dressed in a suit and tie, glanced at his watch and said, "Brother Zhang should be done with his business by now."

Lu Jin loosened his tie, looked at the cruise ship in front of him, and responded.

"That's almost it."

"You know what, although Wang Ai isn't the best at doing things, his cruise ships are really nice."

"He can't come, but it's still great that we can use this stuff."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yan appeared on the yacht, grabbing a withered old man, and said to the people below.

"Why are you all down here? Hurry up and come up!"

The people below all looked at Lü Ci, who gave an awkward laugh and said...

"Isn't this to welcome you?"

......

Nathan Island.

Ron of Behemoth panicked completely and gathered all his troops, intending to intercept Zhang Yan's yacht at every turn.

But the news from the front was shocking: the ships that were trying to intercept the yacht would lose contact as soon as they encountered it, and the only message they received was a single sentence.

We spotted enemy ships and prepared... and then nothing more.

If anyone were to board those ships at this time, they would be surprised to find that both the experimental subjects and the modified soldiers had all died quietly.

As for the reasons, there are many. It could be that the left foot went out of the hatch first, or it could be that the eyes didn't blink at the same time.

And so, Zhang Yan and his group arrived at Nathan Island on the boat, enjoying hot pot and singing songs.

Upon arriving on the island, the group discovered that Ron had committed suicide due to immense pressure. Before that, he had released all the experimental subjects on the island.

These experimental subjects posed no threat to Zhang Yan and his group, and they quickly obtained the data from the laboratory.

"As I expected, the experimental data was most abundant during that turbulent period."

Zhang Yan handed the documents to everyone for review and then spoke.

"Heh, so the 'body-cultivation furnace' has been made all along. But these people are even more despicable, using war as a cover."

Lu Ci looked at the documents, which contained all kinds of writing, with Japanese script being the most prevalent during that period, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"This island should never have existed."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and looked at Zhang Yan before speaking.

"Why don't you just modify the Qi formation here and sink the island? That way we won't have to clean it up one by one."

Zhang Yan glared at him, then released a corpse from the Devouring Pouch. Everyone frowned upon seeing it.

"Tang Miaoxing?"

"Dan Shi?"

As they were talking, Tang Miaoxing's body stirred and then opened its eyes.

"Master Zhang? Young Master Lü, Lu... you're all here..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Yan and said urgently.

"Dan Shi! Zhang Yan, did you remove Dan Shi...?"

The first thing Tang Miaoxing did upon waking up was not to worry about his own health, but rather that Zhang Yan had broken the supposedly unsolvable Dan Shi technique, which was a heavy blow to this obsessed man.

"There is no cure for Dan Shi."

Zhang Yan interrupted him directly and continued speaking.

"I have only suppressed the Qi poison in your body. When the time comes, you will still die from Dan Shi."

Tang Miaoxing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Zhang Yan hadn't said how long he could suppress it, and Tang Miaoxing seemed to have forgotten to ask. He then spoke up.

"Brother Zhang Yan, why did you bring everyone here?"

"Yeah, taking an old friend out for a drive, and maybe even ascending to immortality."

"Uh~"

In short, everyone except Zhang Zhiwei was shocked that the ghost had ascended to immortality.

Zhang Yan looked at Tang Xin and asked, "Tang Xin, do you think this place is suitable for Tang Clan disciples to undergo trials?"

Tang Xin nodded and looked at Tang Miaoxing.

"We've got monsters and island guards, that's really good. What do you think, Senior Brother Tang?"

Tang Miaoxing immediately understood the two men's intentions. They wanted to turn Nasen Island into a training ground for the Tang Clan, while he would become the sail of the old ship that was the Tang Clan.

He looked around at the dead test subjects and laughed, "This place is nice, I'll stay here."

Seeing that Tang Miaoxing had agreed, Zhang Yan addressed the group.

"After I left, my murderous intent invaded the underground of this island, forming a labyrinth that can also serve as a training ground for the supernatural world."

"Of course, I will make sure they stay on this island forever."

"Let's go, guys, move the equipment down. I don't have much time left."

As he spoke, Zhang Yan pinched his head and looked at Zhang Zhiwei, then continued.

"Old Zhang, don't keep me waiting too long."

Zhang Zhiwei, as if he hadn't heard, asked.

"Aren't you going to leave something behind?"

Zhang Yan thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Feng Baobao's memory has been restored, and she will no longer fall into a deep sleep. This can be considered part of Hongchen Xian's plan, but it will cause trouble, so it's best not to use it."

"Hmm~ I'll explain my thoughts in a bit. It doesn't involve any cultivation techniques; it's just a way to supplement the Heavenly Dao."

Zhang Zhiwei simply nodded silently after hearing this, without saying anything more.

The guys moved all the equipment to a high point on the island.

The group stared at the connected signal and fell silent after hearing the voice of the girl named Erzhuang.

They thought these devices were for recording data on the island, but they never expected them to be used for Zhang Yan's ascension livestream.

That's so damn abstract.
