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

The moment the two touched, the surrounding space involuntarily distorted slightly.

This is a natural resonance between the Great Way of Power and the Laws of Space.

"You rascal, you didn't even say a word before entering the tower."

Zhan Feng stepped forward, punched Jiang Shu on the shoulder, and smiled bitterly:
"When my dad heard about it, he almost threw me into the Ten Thousand Battle Cave for special training."

This Ten Thousand Battle Cave is a place of arduous cultivation within the War Alliance. Even someone like Zhan Feng trembles with fear upon hearing about this place.

Turning his head, he saw a young woman in a star-patterned robe standing not far away, smiling at him. It was Bei Jue from the Misty Star Alliance.

Contrary to expectations, Bei Jue wore a genuine smile. Seeing Jiang Shu looking at him, he waved and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, how have you been?"

Jiang Shu waved to her and said, "You didn't even tell me you were coming."

Even before he became famous, Bei Jue had a good relationship with him. Although he had the idea of ​​investing in him in advance, Bei Jue helped him fight against the Mechanical Mother before he had improved his cultivation level.

Although the Misty Star Alliance has a considerable territory, it is still far behind a behemoth like the Mechanical Race.

If this step is not taken well, it will definitely affect the entire Misty Star Alliance.

But she still helped him, and Jiang Shu naturally remembered this kindness.

Bei Jue took out an hourglass-shaped pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Shu, saying, "I heard that you have a profound understanding of the laws of space. My master specially ordered me to bring you a piece of Sands of Time, which may be of some help to you."

Upon hearing the name "Sands of Time," a collective gasp filled the hall.

The Sands of Time are a secret treasure of the Misty Star Alliance, containing a trace of the true meaning of the laws of time. Even core disciples can hardly see them.

Almost only the most venerable ones are qualified to enjoy it.

Jiang Shu solemnly accepted the hourglass and discovered that the flow of silver sand in the hourglass was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, creating a wonderful resonance with his own heartbeat.

With a thought, spatial ripples spread across his palm, allowing him to store this precious gift into his inner world.

"Please convey my gratitude to your teacher."

Bei Jue smiled slightly and lowered his voice, saying, "My master also said that if you are interested, you can come to my Misty Star Alliance to see the River of Time."

The intention to recruit them is self-evident.

Not far away, Venerable Luo's ears twitched slightly. He coughed lightly and walked over: "So many years have passed, and your master is still so good at poaching people."

Bei Jue bowed calmly and said with a smile, "Senior Luo is too kind. It's just an exchange between fellow practitioners."

Venerable Luo was not particularly concerned about the recruitment efforts of the Misty Star Alliance.

"Why didn't Bei Ming come this time? Is he worried that I'll cause him trouble?"

"Tell him that although we had some disagreements when we were young, that's all in the past. Now, there are many dealings between our Nine Universe Business Alliance and the Misty Star Alliance. Let's not let these trivial matters affect the relationship between our two organizations."

Several days ago, Venerable Luo had already told Jiang Shu about his past with the Northern Dark Ancestor of the Misty Star Alliance.

So many years have passed, and some things between the two have long become traces of time, no longer caring. Otherwise, Bei Ming would not have asked Bei Jue to bring the precious Sands of Time. The so-called recruitment was just that the Old Ancestor Bei Ming was unwilling to bow down to Venerable Luo and deliberately disgusted him.

These older generation powerhouses are really obsessed with saving face.

Jiang Shu and Bei Jue exchanged a glance and both chuckled.

Just then, a commotion arose outside the hall. A dozen or so young geniuses dressed in the attire of the Nine Universe Merchant Alliance crowded at the entrance. The one in the lead, his face full of excitement, saw Jiang Shu looking at him and quickly waved, saying, "Senior Brother Jiang, can we come in and take a look?"

Yu Tianming frowned, about to reprimand him, but Jiang Shu smiled and said, "We are all fellow disciples, come in."

These young geniuses, as if granted a pardon, filed in and stood neatly behind Jiang Shu, their eyes filled with admiration.

Most of them were fresh blood recruited by the Business Alliance in the inner circle. At this moment, they were able to get close to the legendary Jiang Shu, and they were all so excited that their faces turned red.

After the banquet officially began, representatives from various factions took turns speaking, their words filled with praise and flattery for Jiang Shu, describing him as the greatest person in history.

Jiang Shu accepted all who came and drank them all in one gulp.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang."

A middle-aged man in a gold robe raised his glass and then said softly,

"I am Jin Lie of the Celestial Craftsman Clan. I have heard that you obtained the Heart of Space in the Deep Space Sea. May I ask if you may..."

"Elder Jin."

Zhan Feng suddenly interrupted at this moment, his voice loud and clear.

"Today, we'll only talk about friendship, not business!"

He slammed his bronze battle axe down on the table, causing the wine glasses to jump three inches.

Jin Lie's face turned pale, but he dared not retaliate.

The prestige of the War Alliance, coupled with the strength of the Prodigy of Wind and Cloud, left him with no choice but to retreat with a forced smile.

Jiang Shu looked at Zhan Feng and saw him wink at her. Then he looked around the room and spoke in a low but clear voice that reached everyone's ears.

"Thank you all for your kindness today. I, Jiang, would like to offer you a toast."

The moment he raised his cup, the Desolate Star Halberd trembled slightly at his waist, and fifteen Great Dao patterns flowed and shone in the wine in the cup.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, as if they saw countless fragments of space floating and sinking in the wine.

"Such exquisite spatial control!"

Bei Jue couldn't help but admire.

"To incorporate the principles into ordinary drinks, this effortless mastery is truly something that ordinary people cannot achieve."

Zhan Feng laughed heartily and put his arm around Jiang Shu's shoulder.

"How could you possibly see through my brother's abilities?"

The banquet continued until the stars filled the sky. After the last guest left, Jiang Shu politely declined Venerable Luo's suggestion to rest and led a dozen or so young disciples to the star-gazing platform on the back mountain.

The observatory is carved from a single piece of star core, and the naturally formed patterns on its surface echo the stars in the sky.

Jiang Shu sat cross-legged in the center, while the other disciples sat around him in a fan shape, with Yu Tianming standing to one side like a guardian.

"Thank you all for coming today."

Jiang Shu got straight to the point.

"Since we are fellow disciples, we may share some of our cultivation experiences."

With a light tap of his fingertips, a wisp of silver-blue Daoist energy transformed into a simple star map in the air.

"The key to understanding the laws of space lies in perception..."

The young geniuses held their breath, afraid of missing even a single word.

Even the most talented among them had only comprehended two or three basic laws. Now, listening to Jiang Shu's profound yet simple explanation of the mysteries of space, many of them immediately entered a state of enlightenment.

The night breeze swept across the observatory, carrying with it the unique spiritual energy of the Star Ruins Realm.

After explaining the basic principles, Jiang Shu began to answer specific questions.

"Senior brother,"

A female genius with a high ponytail timidly raised her hand and spoke.
"I'm trying to comprehend the laws of water, but I always feel like I'm making no progress." Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out and made a gesture.

Water from a distant fountain flew through the air and formed a glistening ball of water above his palm.

"Okay."

The water sphere suddenly twisted and deformed, and patterns similar to those of the Desolate Star Halberd appeared on its surface.

Immediately afterwards, to the astonishment of the disciples, this ordinary ball of water began to cut through the surrounding space, making a hissing sound.

"There is no hierarchy among the laws."

Jiang Shu's voice was like a clear spring flowing.

"Water is the softest thing, yet it can wear away stone. The key is to find your own momentum."

With a flick of his wrist, the water sphere transformed into a fine drizzle.

Upon seeing this scene, the female disciple felt as if she had suddenly gained a clear understanding.

The water element that had been dormant within her body suddenly became active, flowing joyfully through her meridians.

The question-and-answer session continued until dawn.

As the first rays of dawn fell, the last genius reluctantly took his leave.

Only Jiang Shu and Yu Tianming remained on the star-gazing platform.

"Your Highness."

Yu Tianming handed over a cup of Enlightenment Tea.

"Before leaving, Senior Brother Zhanfeng left a message saying that the Seventh Elder of the Zhan Alliance invited you to the Ancient Battle Realm for a chat."

Jiang Shu took the teacup, feeling the rich spiritual power within it.

This was specially prepared by Yutianming.

He took a sip and suddenly asked, "Tianming, do you think Beijue is trustworthy?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianming pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, Bei Jue has been approaching you with ulterior motives ever since. Even now, she still has her own little schemes. But I must say, even with her own little schemes, the fact that she could do what she did before makes her a qualified gambler."

"But now, everyone knows she's one of yours, and the relationship between the Merchant Alliance and the Misty Star Alliance is getting better and better. We're all in the same boat now."

"Therefore, I believe that Yu Tianming is still trustworthy."

Yu Tianming had always followed Jiang Shu and done what she could. Now that Jiang Shu was able to discuss this matter with her, it meant that Jiang Shu had completely regarded her as someone he could trust. So she explained all the possibilities and finally came to her own conclusion.

Jiang Shu nodded slightly.

Although he currently has some connections with the man in black robes, he knows that sooner or later he will have to confront the Doomsday Cult.

Therefore, it's best to make plans early.

The Doomsday Cult, which commands such fear from so many powerful forces in the universe, cannot possibly possess only the methods he has seen so far. Therefore, Jiang Shu must gather enough allies during this period to avoid being unable to attend to matters in the future.

Although the Misty Star Alliance is not as powerful as the War Alliance, it is adept at maneuvering and has good relationships with many top forces.

"Your Highness, Bei Ye and the others have arrived. They say they wish to see you."

Yu Tianming spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu simply waved his hand, and Bei Ye and the others who were waiting outside immediately sensed it and came forward to greet Jiang Shu.

"Bei Ye greets Your Highness!"

A young man with a single horn on his head and two wings on his back knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Shu and said loudly.

Long before entering the Deep Space Sea, Bei Ye was severely injured and nearly died during a battle with the geniuses of the Misty Star Alliance. According to Bei Jue, this was not the work of the Misty Star Alliance, but rather someone was secretly sabotaging things.

Jiang Shu initially suspected that the Doomsday Cult was behind this, but now it seems that it was not the work of the man in black robes.

The reason is simple: although the man in black robes is wicked, his vision is focused on the overall trend of the universe. Although Bei Ye is also a genius, he is not qualified to become a pawn for the man in black robes to manipulate the situation in the universe.

These words may sound harsh, but they are the truth.

Therefore, this is very likely a show of force by some power to intimidate the Nine Universe Business Alliance. However, they are acting cautiously and have not yet found out who is behind it.

"Your injuries appear to have healed."

Jiang Shu looked at Bei Ye and smiled.

Those who have come now are mostly geniuses who came to the inner perimeter with Jiang Shu. After they came out of the Deep Space Sea, they were sent to various places for training, so they arrived a little late.

Among them was a young man whose appearance was not particularly outstanding.

He was an ancient oddball from the Nine Universes Business Alliance who went to the Deep Space Sea with Jiang Shu and even met that sword madman.

Seeing Jiang Shu's gaze shift to him, this ancient oddball didn't dare to be presumptuous. He cupped his hands in greeting to Jiang Shu, his face still bearing his usual smile.

When Jiang Shu first emerged, he dared to compete with Jiang Shu for the position of Young Alliance Leader. However, as Jiang Shu's talent became more apparent, he realized the gap between them and took the initiative to give up the fight. His presence here today also indicates that he is yielding.

Bei Ye chuckled and said, "This is all thanks to the pills Your Highness bestowed upon me; otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get up and walk right now."

"Upon hearing that Your Highness had conquered the eighth level of the Eternal Tower, I rushed here from headquarters. It's a pity I was a step too late, but it's already a good thing to be able to see Your Highness."

As he spoke, Bei Ye took out a small box from his sleeve, inside which was a pill that looked like it contained a galaxy of stars and emitted a faint fragrance.

"Your Highness, this is my congratulatory gift to you. It's nothing fancy, but it's a token of my appreciation."

He put it simply, but in reality, this pill is extremely precious, and even a Venerable would benefit from it.

This was originally intended for use by an elder of the Bei Ye clan when he reached the Venerable Realm, but it has now been used to befriend Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu didn't hesitate and accepted it directly, which relieved Bei Ye.

His biggest worry was that His Highness would not accept his gift.

"Your Highness, I heard that you are now the young leader of our Merchant Alliance."

Bei Ye had a smile on her face.

"With Your Highness here, the Merchant Alliance becoming the strongest force in the inner circle is just around the corner."

When he was young, he did consider the position of Young Alliance Leader.

As he followed Venerable Luo to the inner perimeter, this idea grew stronger.

However, with Jiang Shu's meteoric rise, his idea disappeared. Now he only wants to follow in Jiang Shu's footsteps and push the Jiuyu Business Alliance to its peak.

If anyone tries to stop him, they must get past him first.

As he spoke, he glanced subtly at the ancient oddball from the Nine Universes Business Alliance, his thoughts seemingly unreadable.

Their conversation didn't last long, as they had other matters to attend to. Soon after, they got up to leave and teleported away through the stargate vortex.

Before the afterglow of the Star Gate vortex had faded, the bronze battle axe hanging at Zhan Feng's waist suddenly trembled like a dragon's roar.

The ancient, dormant battle patterns on the axe blade lit up one by one, projecting the phantom images of nine stars into the void, each star's surface shrouded in crimson battle scars. (End of Chapter)
