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

The bells that should have swayed according to the celestial sphere were now strangely swaying in unison, like strings being plucked by an invisible hand.

Zi Ling seemed to sense something, and the small bronze sword in her hair suddenly emerged three inches from its sheath.

The seven star-shaped apertures on the bronze sword lit up simultaneously, forming the Big Dipper Sword Formation in the void.

Jiang Shu then discovered that the jade pendant at her waist contained spatial coordinates, which resonated subtly with the Sands of Time of the Misty Star Alliance.

Zi Ling's understanding of the Great Dao is in no way inferior to his!
All I can say is, they truly live up to their reputation as a battle alliance.

Someone who could be called an unparalleled genius by any force in the outside world, and who might even be a powerful figure from a major peripheral force, was actually just a maid.

Although this maid is the personal maid of the most powerful person in the alliance, it is still quite shocking.

"Master, please have some tea."

As Zi Ling poured tea with her delicate hands, Jiang Shu noticed that there was an almost transparent silk thread wrapped around her wrist.

It possesses scattered fluctuations of spatial laws; if it could advance further, it could obviously step into the Venerable Realm.

The tea leaves floating in the tea soup vaguely formed the shape of a star map, exuding a Taoist charm.

"Thank you."

The tea was excellent, and the woman was beautiful; it was a truly enchanting scene.

However, Jiang Shu's mind was still on the dark figure he had just seen.

He wanted to ask, but Zi Ling had clearly seen the dark figure just now, yet pretended not to. Jiang Shu wouldn't ask any more questions, since he was in the War Alliance and nothing unexpected would happen.

He closed his eyes slightly, and the laws of the Dao were faintly visible on his body as he savored this Dao tea, which could be described as a treasure.

That night, Jiang Shu bid farewell to Fengyun Tianjiao.

He returned to his own secluded retreat center to continue his practice.

Inside the temple, a mural depicting the glorious achievements of the War Alliance's ancestors, titled "The Record of the War Gods," suddenly began to ooze dark red blood.

The face of the halberd-wielding war god in the painting bore a striking resemblance to the mechanical mother he had seen in the deep space sea, almost like a dream. With a blink of his eyes, it returned to its original appearance.

Jiang Shu frowned. Before he could reach out to touch the mural, he felt a sharp warning coming from the spatial core within his dantian.

It should be understood that, for him at this moment, even if a Venerable One were to arrive, there might not be such a great crisis.

"call!"

With a whooshing sound, spatial rifts formed in front of Jiang Shu, creating a spatial array.

Jiang Shu held the Desolate Star Halberd, with the Chaos Thunder Pool above his head and more than a dozen illusory figures of laws behind him, ready for battle.

It wasn't that he was being overly cautious; it was simply that the scene was so eerie that he had to be on his guard.

At the same time, Zi Ling's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Young master, what happened?"

She was waiting nearby when she suddenly sensed an astonishing surge of Daoist energy emanating from Jiang Shu's palace. She immediately inquired about it.

If it weren't for knowing Jiang Shu's abilities, and the fact that Jiang Shu was a distinguished guest, I wouldn't be able to pry too much into his secrets.

At this moment, she was about to burst into the dojo.

That fluctuation just now was extremely strange.

Even she felt a little uneasy.

Hearing Zi Ling's voice outside the door, Jiang Shu shook his head and let out a breath.

"It's nothing, just some progress in my cultivation."

Something strange was going on within the alliance, which made Jiang Shu reluctant to tell Zi Ling what had just happened.

Seeing that Jiang Shu was alright, Zi Ling didn't ask any more questions. She bowed and left, leaving Jiang Shu sitting cross-legged outside the palace, staring intently at the murals.

How could the mechanical matrix appear here?

It is important to know that the human race has always believed in the power of human will to overcome nature, which is completely different from the mechanical race's idea of ​​mechanical ascension. However, due to many reasons, the two races have maintained a superficial peace. Therefore, the image of the mechanical mother will definitely not appear in the War Alliance.

This reminded Jiang Shu of the time when his battle memories were absorbed by an unknown entity on the Bronze Ancient Road, including the battle scenes between himself and the Mechanical Mother.

But how did it end up here?

It's really hard to understand.

This alliance doesn't seem as peaceful as it appears; there are undercurrents swirling within, making one uneasy.

Jiang Shu faced the mural, sat cross-legged, and only began his cultivation after seeing that it remained still.

The next morning, an ancient horn suddenly sounded throughout the entire alliance.

As Jiang Shu walked out of the dojo, he saw nine crimson stars forming a battle formation in the sky, with a terrifying figure standing on the surface of each star.

The white-haired old man in the very center, with just a glance, caused the Primordial Daoist energy within his body to automatically activate for defense.

"Those are the nine Supreme Elders of the War Alliance."

Zi Ling, who had appeared behind them unnoticed, explained softly.
“Each of them is a peak Venerable who has lived for tens of thousands of years.”

As she spoke, she pointed to the outermost star and began again.
"That Elder Qingya was the one who suppressed the Asura Battle Venerable back then."

In an era where sages are rare, those at the peak of the Venerable realm are among the most powerful in the universe. Yet now, nine of them have appeared. Although it is unknown how many of them came in person, it is enough to demonstrate the strength of the War Alliance and the importance they place on Jiang Shu.

On the way to the banquet, Jiang Shu noticed that the ground was not paved with ordinary stone slabs, but with star core bricks made from the core of a star.

Each brick records a famous battle. When he stepped on a brick depicting the "Battle of the Fall of the Saints," he suddenly heard the shouts of thousands of cultivators.

The shouts of battle were deafening and filled the air.

For cultivators with fragile Dao hearts and timid natures, this would be terrifying and frightening. However, for someone like Jiang Shu with a firm Dao heart, these battle cries allowed him to glimpse the fierce battles of the human race's predecessors and to sense the surging of certain laws from a certain perspective.

The War Alliance has dominated the universe for countless years, and its various wonders have truly broadened Jiang Shu's horizons. At the same time, he also realized the gap between the Nine Universe Business Alliance and the War Alliance, which are among the top forces in the universe.

"Brother, this way."

Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun, brother and sister, came to Jiang Shu's side and whispered something.

The two of them were dressed in gorgeous formal attire today, looking incredibly elegant.

The War Alliance is vast, but those who can attend this banquet are all renowned powerhouses, or famous geniuses and ancient prodigies. However, when Jiang Shu and Fengyun Tianjiao entered the venue, they became the focus of everyone's attention.

"This is Jiang Shu. I have seen him in the Deep Space Sea. He truly deserves the title of the number one young person of our time."

"It is said that he has already reached the peak of the tenth realm and has begun to comprehend the laws of space. With his talent, he will probably be able to become a true Venerable in a few years."

"Ah, his cultivation level improved rapidly and his foundation was solid. It is said that back in the Deep Space Sea, even the mechanical matrix that had one foot in the Venerable realm was no match for him."

"That's the mechanical matrix."

When everyone saw Jiang Shu, they discussed him extensively and praised him highly.

In the center of the banquet hall floated a pool of wine sculpted from a black hole. The wine flowing within was not ordinary; it was a ghostly brew capable of corroding space itself.

As the disciples of the War Alliance raised their glasses in celebration, their shadows twisted into various ferocious beast shapes on the surface of the pool.

"Look over there."

Zhan Feng suddenly lowered his voice.

Jiang Shu followed the direction and saw a figure shrouded in gray mist standing in the corner of the hall.

The shadow extending from the man's feet actually resembled a three-headed, six-armed Asura.

"Those are the guardians of the War Cave, said to have the blood of the first leader of the alliance flowing through their veins."

When Zhan Jiuxiao raised his glass to give a speech, Jiang Shu noticed that the reflection in his glass was not of a banquet scene, but of countless fragmented galaxies.

Even more chilling is that among those shattered stars, patterns resembling the Doomsday Cult's mark are faintly visible spreading.

The atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak.

Zhan Jiuxiao stood in the main position, holding a token carved from the core of a star and flowing with the radiance of laws.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a resounding bell, piercing through the noise and clearly reaching the ears of every powerful person present:

"Jiang Shu, in the deep space sea, turned the tide, exposed the Doomsday Cult's conspiracy, and saved the elites of all races from dire straits!"

"Furthermore, within the Eternal Tower, they ascended to the eighth celestial palace, setting a precedent for a thousand years!"

"Such achievements, such talent, are a blessing to our human race and a light to the universe!"

"To recognize his achievements and enhance the prestige of our human race, I hereby, with the authority of the Vice Alliance Leader, bestow upon Jiang Shu the position of Outer Elder of the War Alliance!"

"May you enjoy all the authority and resources bestowed upon you by the elders of my alliance. I hope you will stand firm and contribute to the glory of our human race!"

His gaze swept across the entire room, each word carrying immense weight.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Star Token flew up on its own and hovered in front of Jiang Shu.

The token is ancient and simple, with interwoven battle axes and star patterns on the front and an ancient "war" character on the back, exuding a powerful fighting spirit and vast spatial fluctuations.

This is not merely a symbol of status, but also a powerful treasure containing the authority over some of the battle alliance's formations and vast spatial coordinate information.

Although this elder position is only an outer sect position, it is still an elder of the War Alliance. No matter where they go, they are top-notch figures. Moreover, Jiang Shu is not actually a member of the War Alliance, so this is the highest position that can be given to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu stood up, under the profound scrutiny of the elders of the War Alliance, the complex and unfathomable fervor of his peers, and the awe and contemplation of the representatives of various races.

He remained calm and reached out to take the token.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, yet incredibly heavy, as if it carries the history of the entire alliance and the hopes of the human race.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Uncle Zhan. I will do my best."

He didn't make a passionate oath; his tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable weight.

Zhan Jiuxiao laughed loudly and said, "Good!"

"Come, gentlemen, let us drink together!"

"Congratulations to our alliance for gaining a pillar of strength, and congratulations to the human race for its prosperous future!"

The crowd erupted in cheers once again.

But Jiang Shu keenly noticed that the gazes directed at him had become even more intense.

The title of Outer Sect Elder may seem like a nominal one, but it should be noted that Jiang Shu has never been a member of the War Alliance.

This identity and this status already mean that the War Alliance will completely cooperate with the Nine Universe Business Alliance and stand together behind Jiang Shu!

A grand feast at Qionghua.

With the announcement by Vice Alliance Leader Zhan Jiuxiao, the banquet reached its climax.

The central pool of wine, carved from a black hole, now emitted an even more intense, eerie light.

Waiters moved about, scooping up the wine with long-handled silver spoons made of a special material.

The liquid in the glass doesn't flow like other liquids; instead, it swirls slowly, forming a miniature galaxy vortex.

Occasionally, tiny specks of ethereal blue stardust would splash up, each drop containing pure energy and faint traces of spatial laws and principles.

When you drink it, not only does it leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth, but it also feels like swallowing a piece of cold starry sky, which invigorates your spirit.

On the long table surrounding the main hall, delicacies were laid out, resembling a grand gathering of immortals.

The main course is a sky ray roasted from a star core.

On a huge plate, a strange beast resembling a ray, its body covered with spatial rift patterns, was roasted until golden brown and dripping with oil, emitting a rich, exotic aroma mixed with pure spatial power.

This beast is born deep within spatial turbulence. Its flesh not only nourishes the body but also contains a trace of spatial affinity, which is of great benefit to comprehending the laws of space.

Normally, only a few venerable figures, supreme geniuses of powerful forces, and ancient freaks are qualified to enjoy it.

The delicious Nine-Turned Jade Marrow Soup is served in a cold jade bowl. The soup is clear, and you can see the solidified milky white jade marrow beads, which emit a soft, vibrant light.

This soup is made by simmering millennia-old spiritual milk with various rare jade marrow essences. It is a supreme treasure for repairing Dao injuries, stabilizing the primordial spirit, and prolonging life.

In the fruit platter, each fruit was crystal clear, with different shapes, and surrounded by the Daoist aura of different attributes.

Some are shaped like real dragons, with rising flames; some resemble blue lotuses, with flowing water; and some bear miniature star fruits, containing stellar power.

Each one is a condensation of the essence of heaven and earth, and each one is priceless. Ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to obtain even one in their entire lives. Now, they are piled up on the table like ordinary food, dazzling the eyes.

Furthermore, rare treasures unheard of in the outside world, such as Void Mushroom Stew, Time Vine Chips, and Law Star Dew, were continuously offered. These items all originated from certain secret realms with abnormal time flow and contained faint insights into the power of time.

During the event, Stardust Dancers, carefully trained by the Alliance, performed a dance.

They were dressed in light gauze woven from starlight, their figures like mist and illusion. As they danced gracefully, they constantly threw out tiny fragments of stars. These fragments traced mysterious trajectories in the air, weaving together into dazzling and fleeting star maps.

With each step, ripples spread across the space beneath one's feet, as if stepping on a galaxy. The movement of the body creates an invisible spatial rhythm, forming a dual feast for the eyes and the senses.

Drunken life and dreaming of death.

From Xuanxing, we entered the Star Ruins Realm.

This was the first time Jiang Shu had truly felt the disparity between different powers.

If one is in a battle alliance, even an ordinary genius can easily advance to the tenth realm as long as they can have such a meal every now and then.

In the arena, the dancers' dance subtly incorporated Taoist principles, seemingly inherited from an extremely ancient era.

Cultivators with insufficient mental focus may even momentarily become dazed, wanting only to immerse themselves in the state and unwilling to wake up.

The War Alliance has a very deep foundation. Basically, all the strong people of the human race hold positions in the War Alliance. In the outside world, the War Alliance has long been synonymous with the human race.

Jiang Shu wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world, but seeing this scene still moved him somewhat. (End of Chapter)
