Two Realms: A giant of immortal martial arts emerges from low Wu Gan

Venerable Luo was straightforward and quick to settle scores.

After entering the Venerable Realm, he once entered the inner circle and made a certain reputation.

It was only due to various unexpected events that they ultimately decided to return to the periphery.

The "Old Monster Beiming" he mentioned was a powerful figure from the Misty Star Alliance, with whom he had significant conflicts during his time in the inner circle.

Yu Tianming was somewhat surprised to hear this.

The Hourglass of Time is the treasure of the Misty Star Alliance, containing a trace of the laws of time.

Although these scattered laws of time were insufficient for the Venerable One to attain sainthood.

However, for Jiang Shu, if he could make contact with it in advance, his combat power at the Venerable Realm would undoubtedly be at a higher level!

Just as she was about to respond, she suddenly saw Venerable Luo raise his hand to stop her, his gaze turning to the spatial ripples in the direction of the palace gate.

"What has that kid been up to lately?"

Venerable Luo suddenly changed the subject, his fingers tracing the rim of his cup.

"I've only seen him once since I came out of the Deep Space Sea."

Yu Tianming put down his teacup, his dark sleeve sweeping across the star map on the table, creating a string of tiny specks of light.

"His Highness should be in seclusion in the Eternal Tower."

There was a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

"It has been a while since I last saw Your Highness."

“Your Excellency, as you know, we have no right to interfere in His Highness’s actions.”

Many exceptional geniuses or ancient prodigies are often accompanied by a large following when they go out, making a grand and imposing presence. No matter where they go, others can tell which family's genius they are just by looking at their entourage.

Some geniuses prefer to be alone and devote themselves to spiritual practice.

Jiang Shu is that kind of person, so even though Yu Tianming is Jiang Shu's closest follower, he doesn't know Jiang Shu's exact whereabouts.

"That kid has always been like this."

Venerable Luo smiled.

"Don't even mention you, I can't find him either."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two people in the hall heard a familiar laugh coming from outside the hall door.

"Venerable One, Tianming, how come I heard you discussing me so soon after I came out of seclusion?"

The space at the palace gate suddenly distorted, and silver-blue ripples bloomed like flowers.

Yu Tianming stood up instantly, and saw a familiar figure breaking through the void and coming.

The young man was dressed in white, his clothes as white as snow. The Desolate Star Halberd hanging at his waist had shrunk to three inches in length, and the tip of the halberd still bore the spatial cracks that had not yet dissipated.

"Greetings, Venerable One."

Jiang Shu bowed with his hands clasped in greeting, tiny spatial cracks appearing and disappearing in his pupils.

His aura was even more restrained than it had been half a month ago, but even a powerful Venerable like Venerable Luo could see that beneath that seemingly calm exterior, there were chilling fluctuations of the laws.

What a monster!

It seems they were born to pursue the Tao.

Even with Venerable Luo's composure, he couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Shu's astonishing progress.

"Your spatial laws are becoming increasingly refined. If I'm not mistaken, you've already achieved a basic grasp of space?"

Jiang Shu didn't stand on ceremony with Venerable Luo, and sat down to his left, nodding and saying, "I haven't mastered it yet, I can only apply it in a basic way. It will take some time before I can truly master it, probably until I reach the Venerable realm."

He didn't have unrealistic ambitions.

The laws of space are too powerful for him to fully master right now. What he needs to do now is lay a solid foundation for advancing to the Venerable Realm.

Venerable Luo looked at the junior in front of him and was extremely satisfied.

"With your current level, you could even force your way to the Venerable realm right now, but that would be tantamount to ruining your future. It would be almost impossible for you to advance to the Saint realm in the future. Our Nine Universe Merchant Alliance does not lack a Venerable, but it lacks a Saint who can truly become a pillar of the Star Ruins Realm."

"Venerable One, this is not your end."

Jiang Shu naturally understood this principle.

Seeing that Jiang Shu was resolute and not affected by the high realm at all, Venerable Luo did not say much, but instead asked Jiang Shu about his future plans.

“You are currently riding high, and even the mechanical mother's clone has been defeated by you. You will definitely be targeted by the Doomsday Cult.”

"The world is too big, and I can't always follow behind you. Everything will depend on you from now on."

"The Doomsday Cult is terrifying. The methods they have revealed so far are just the tip of the iceberg. Even some ordinary Venerables may perish in their schemes. Therefore, you must be extremely careful when you are outside."

Although Venerable Luo once had children, they all died of old age as time passed.

Now alone, he truly regarded Jiang Shu as his junior, patiently giving him advice. Jiang Shu listened quietly, nodding in agreement from time to time, putting Venerable Luo at ease.

Have you tried exploring the eighth floor of the Eternal Tower recently?

Venerable Luo also realized that he was becoming a bit long-winded due to his age, so he coughed a couple of times and changed the subject.

Jiang Shu nodded and said, "I came here today to talk to the Venerable One about this matter."

"I have already passed the eighth floor of the Eternal Tower."

The young man's voice was as calm as if he were discussing the weather. He casually made a gesture in the air with his right hand, and fifteen Dao patterns intertwined in the air to form a tower-shaped phantom.

The silver-blue light at the top was particularly dazzling, and spatial fragments could be vaguely seen reassembling and disintegrating within it.

Suddenly, all the teaware on the jade table shattered.

The pressure emanating from Venerable Luo, a being at the mid-stage of the Forgotten Realm, erupted uncontrollably, causing the spatial structure of the entire palace to groan under the strain.

Yu Tianming had no choice but to use the Heavenly Serpent Secret Technique to resist, but was still forced back three steps before he was able to regain his footing.

"The eighth floor?!"

Venerable Luo's voice echoed in the hall, and his eyes, which seemed to be able to see through the void, were now somewhat unfocused.

As the highest-ranking person in charge of the Nine Universe Business Alliance in the inner star field, he unconsciously stroked the jade pendant at his waist with his right hand. The ancient jade that had accompanied him for 30,000 years trembled, and the array on it appeared.

Jiang Shu stood quietly in place, silver-blue spatial ripples flowing around him, completely dissolving the pressure unintentionally released by the Venerable One.

A faint smile played on his lips, but his gaze had already pierced through the rooftop, fixed on the direction of the Eternal Tower.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Venerable Luo spoke three times, each time louder than the last.

He strode up to Jiang Shu and slapped the young man's shoulders hard with both hands, the force so great that the ground trembled slightly.

"Our Nine Universes Business Alliance has stood tall in the universe for so many years, and you are the first disciple to be able to pass the eighth level!"

Venerable Luo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he burst into loud laughter.

"Back then, the Supreme Elder of the War Alliance, who was known as one of a kind throughout the ages, only managed to pass the eighth level after achieving the Venerable Realm!"

Yu Tianming, listening to Jiang Shu's words from the side, was equally shocked.

Although she knew Jiang Shu was exceptionally talented, she never imagined he would reach such an astonishing level.

Her vertical pupils, imbued with the bloodline of the Heavenly Serpent, involuntarily contracted, and the flame of her soul pulsed violently within them. "You flatter me, Venerable One."

Jiang Shu bowed slightly and said,

"It was just a lucky break that he figured out the flaw in the replica."

Unable to suppress his smile, Venerable Luo waved his hand and said, "The rules of the Eternal Tower are unchanging; those who can pass through are simply displaying their strength!"

After saying that, he turned to the outside of the hall and said, "Pass on my order to open the Star Gate immediately and summon all the elders and disciples of the inner circle to this place!"

Ripples appeared in the void, and three figures in silver armor appeared out of thin air, kneeling on one knee.

"Follow the law!"

Venerable Luo then looked at Yu Tianming, a sly glint in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Little snake girl, go and prepare for the celebration. Take out that jar of Nine-Turn Star Wine from the storeroom, and send someone to the Misty Star Alliance to deliver an invitation. Tell them that I, Luo, am inviting Bei Ming to drink, and that he should bring Bei Jue along as well."

Yu Tianming accepted the order and left, his black battle robe drawing a graceful arc at the palace gate.

She walked with her back ramrod straight, displaying the elegance and pride unique to the Celestial Serpent Clan.

The eighth floor of the Eternal Tower has been breached; this is tremendous news.

Even though it wasn't her who broke the barrier, she was still proud to be Jiang Shu's follower.

This is the glory of the followers!

After Yu Tianming left, only Jiang Shu and Venerable Luo remained in the hall.

Venerable Luo waved his hand and set up eighteen layers of soundproof barriers, temporarily freezing even the space itself.

"Tell me about it."

A hint of curiosity appeared on Venerable Luo's face.

"What exactly is the flaw in the replica that you've figured out?"

With a light tap of his fingertip, Jiang Shu unleashed fifteen Dao patterns that intertwined in the air, creating a scene of battle with the replica.

When the scene reached its most crucial point, his left hand suddenly pierced into the illusory image he had evolved, and the three-colored Daoist charm poured out like flowing water.

"Spatial lag".

Jiang Shu said softly,

"At the very moment when the three laws perfectly merge, there will be a gap of less than one ten-thousandth of a breath."

Watching the battle between Jiang Shu and the replica, Venerable Luo nodded involuntarily and said, "The replica of the eighth level has a combat power that is 80% higher than yours. The fact that you were able to see this fatal flaw in such a short time is enough to show that your sensitivity to combat has reached an astonishing level."

"Good lad, you've got some skills."

Venerable Luo suddenly took out a bronze token from his robes, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
"This is a token given to you by higher-ups."

"From this day forward, you will be the young leader of the Nine Universe Business Alliance."

"Although I am only a core elder of the Business Alliance, I have already communicated and discussed this with the Alliance Leader."

"Although this token may not be of great use at this stage, as the Nine Universes Business Alliance expands its influence in the inner region, your every thought will become the target of their swords!"

Jiang Shu did not refuse. When he accepted the token with both hands, he felt the vast star map contained within it.

Those are all the strongholds and resource distributions of the Nine Universe Business Alliance on the outskirts of the Star Ruins.

Although there were only two or three scattered points in the inner circle, it proved that the Jiuyu Business Alliance had already opened up channels to enter the inner circle.

"Jiang Shu will certainly live up to your expectations."

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall. Yu Tianming returned, holding a burning communication talisman in his hand.

"Your Excellency, I have just received news that the news of Your Excellency's breakthrough of the eighth floor of the Eternal Tower has been spread."

Venerable Luo's expression darkened, and his vast divine sense spread outwards, enveloping the entire palace.

A moment later, Venerable Luo opened his eyes and reached out to grab something.

In a hidden corner of the main hall, a tiny grain of sand flew in, shimmering faintly in the air.

Mount Sumeru is caused by a mustard seed!

Concealed within a specific space, without any fluctuations in the laws of nature, even a Venerable might not be able to detect it immediately.

Not to mention, he also sensed a powerful will on this Sumeru Indestructible.

Although unfamiliar, it was clear that the owner of this mustard seed had a stronger understanding of the laws of space than him!
Venerable Luo's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he casually pinched the Sumeru Indestructible Mustard Seed in his palm.

Each Sumeru causal mustard seed corresponds to one Sumeru fruit mustard seed.

One cause, one effect.

All sights and sounds in the place where Sumeru's cause is located can be instantly transferred to Sumeru's fruit.

Clearly, the message was leaked from him!
If he had known this would happen, he should have set up a barrier before Jiang Shu spoke!
The news of Jiang Shu's breakthrough to the Eternal Tower was not exactly a secret, and Venerable Luo had no intention of hiding it. However, they risked exposure by spreading the news, which meant that there must be some spying methods that Venerable Luo had not yet discovered.

Even if it wasn't exposed, it would still make the people of the Nine Universe Business Alliance wary, and it wouldn't be so easy to spy on them again.

Why did they do that?

Is it an attempt to give the powerful Jiuyu Business Alliance a warning, or is there some other conspiracy?

Fortunately, I haven't revealed any secrets during this time. Even if I did, I personally set up a soundproof array.

"Fine, let it get out of the news."

Venerable Luo sat in his chair, knowing that if the Nine Universes Business Alliance wanted to enter the inner circle, it would inevitably become a thorn in the side of many powerful forces.

This Sumeru Hidden Sound Mustard Seed might be a tool used by those powerful forces.

This is inevitable, so...

"It's a good opportunity to let everyone see what kind of genius our Nine Universe Business Alliance has produced."

The Nine Universe Business Alliance's stronghold in the inner circle is a massive star. The Nine Universe Business Alliance has spent a great deal of effort to stabilize the star, intending to use it as a base to expand outwards.

The usually deserted starport was now filled with all kinds of flying ships, the most eye-catching of which was a bronze warship that was a thousand feet long.

The guild's emblem gleamed on the bow of the ship.

In comparison, the Jade Boat of the Misty Star Alliance was small and exquisite, its entire body flowing with the silvery-white light unique to the laws of time.

"The prodigy has arrived!"

As the master of ceremonies shouted, a man and a woman strode into the main hall.

Zhan Feng remained as heroic as ever, his bronze battle axe shrunk to a mere decoration hanging at his waist. Upon seeing Jiang Shu, he opened his arms wide and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, brother! I knew you could do it!"

Zhan Yun, who followed behind, was much more dignified, handing a jade box to the welcoming attendant.

"A gift from the War Alliance: a monument to chaos."

"Chaos Monument, your War Alliance is really rich and powerful."

Jiang Shu greeted him with a smile. At this moment, he was no longer as ignorant as when he first entered the Star Ruins Realm.

The Chaos Monument contains various laws that have evolved, which even some Venerables have never possessed.

At this moment, Jiang Shu could comprehend the Chaos Monument and further integrate some of his own laws. (End of Chapter)
