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

Compared to those on the field, these geniuses were born within the inner circle of the Star Ruins Realm.

He truly rose through the ranks from the bottom.

In his view, although Xuanxing is small, if it is given enough resources, it will naturally produce many geniuses and strong individuals.

Although these so-called geniuses and strong individuals find it difficult to easily reach the tenth realm like true geniuses and strong individuals.

However, as long as one can reach the Ninth Realm, it wouldn't have been so bad that civilization was almost destroyed by some so-called lower-level gods at that time.

With each breath, Jiang Shu's mind became clear.

As he continued his cultivation, he had not returned to Xuanxing for an unknown period of time.

Once the matters concerning the Vast Expanse and the Star Ruins are settled.

With his current status, he could easily move the Star Gate of Xuanxing to the inner perimeter of the Star Ruins.

In this way, any genius in Xuanxing who performs well enough will have the potential to reach a higher level.

With a breath, Jiang Shu took a step forward.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, toasts of all kinds came one after another.

An ancient general with white hair and a distinguished military record held a bottle of Netherworld Wine and looked intently at Jiang Shu, saying, "Elder Jiang is a man of extraordinary talent. Even if he does not become a saint in the future, he will become the strongest among the Venerables."

"Why not stay in the alliance permanently and wield real power?"

Despite Jiang Shu having expressed her opinion multiple times.

However, there are still some powerful figures within the War Alliance who want to completely win Jiang Shu over to the alliance.

For them, only when Jiang Shu truly joins the alliance can they be considered to be on the same side.

Although for tens of thousands of years, the War Alliance has always been the strongest force in the Star Ruins Realm.

But for these powerful beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years, they have witnessed far too many rises and falls.

For a power to last forever...

Besides having saints and venerable figures, a constant stream of geniuses is also extremely important.

The veteran's words were extremely blatant, an attempt to directly pull Jiang Shu into the core decision-making level of the battle alliance.

Another core elder, who was in charge of allocating resources within the alliance, spoke in a more intimate and enticing manner.

"The laws of space are incredibly profound. Even Venerables can only grasp them with a simple understanding. The difference between Venerables is even greater than the difference between a Venerable and the Tenth Realm."

"Even if a prodigy from an ordinary force is fortunate enough to advance to the Venerable level, their subsequent progress in strength is extremely slow."

"However, our alliance has a core secret realm called the Void Source Sea, which is the ruins of a great power. It is filled with various spatial laws. Although its value for enlightenment cannot compare with the depths of the Deep Void Sea, it has the advantage of safety and the ability to engage in long-term seclusion. If an elder is willing to reside there permanently, this secret realm will be opened to elders first!"

Similar remarks, whether direct or subtle, came from different channels.

The alliance's ambition and thirst for talent are obvious.

Faced with these weighty invitations and promises, Jiang Shu maintained a faint, polite smile throughout.

He raised his glass in response, his words gentle yet impeccable.

"Thank you all for your kindness. I am truly humbled. I will always remember the friendship between Uncle Zhan and the Zhan Alliance."

"However, my foundation lies in the Nine Universe Business Alliance, and the elders within the alliance have shown me immense kindness."

"The Doomsday Cult is currently stirring up trouble. I, Jiang, only wish to improve my cultivation and contribute my meager strength to the upcoming great calamity."

"Being able to become an outer elder of the War Alliance is already a great honor, and I dare not ask for more."

His refusal was tactful, but his stance was clear.

They invoked the relationship between Venerable Luo and the Nine Universes Business Alliance as a buffer, emphasizing that their primary task was to improve their cultivation to fight against the Doomsday Cult, thus deflecting any further promises of substantial power.

His words revealed his satisfaction with his current position and his emphasis on relationships, making it impossible to force him to do anything or find any major faults in them.

"Alright, whatever you say. In short, the doors of the War Alliance are always open to you."

Zhan Jiuxiao took in all of this from his seat, remaining silent. A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flickered in the depths of his eyes, only to be replaced by satisfaction and deeper contemplation.

He knew perfectly well that forcibly binding Jiang Shu with his current status and potential would only backfire.

Maintaining this close relationship and allowing him to hold the honorary position of the alliance is the best strategy at present.

The banquet lasted until the stars shifted, finally ending amidst soft music and lingering fragrances.

Before this banquet, Jiang Shu was just an outer disciple of the War Alliance, but now he has become an outer elder, so his place of residence naturally has to be changed.

Jiang Shu followed Zi Ling to the guest room that had been arranged for him, which was located on the edge of the core area and was independent and extremely spacious.

The interior of the hall was extremely luxurious. The floor was paved with warm star marrow stone, and the walls were radiant with the Daoist charm of flowing water. The meditation room even drew upon a small primordial energy spring in the War Alliance, where the spiritual energy was so rich that it was almost liquefied.

He did not rest, but sat quietly to regulate his breathing, sorting out what he had gained that day and the hidden undercurrents.

The star token lay heavy in my hand.

Before long, Zhan Feng appeared outside the hall, casually pushing the door open and entering, carrying a trace of the refreshing aura of Youming Brew.

"brother!"

He walked over to Jiang Shu and sat down cross-legged, a genuine smile on his face, showing no signs of alienation due to the presence of other people at the banquet.

"It all comes down to your composure. You remained as still as a mountain at the banquet. Tsk tsk, even I was tempted by the conditions those old guys offered."

"It's all thanks to Uncle Zhan and the Zhan Alliance's kindness."

Jiang Shu smiled and poured him a cup of spiritual tea.

Zhan Feng didn't stand on ceremony and drank it all in one gulp.

"I've come to tell you some good news. You've been promoted to elder today, and you possess such great power. How can we not celebrate?"

“My father specifically asked me to tell you so that you can enter a true core holy land of my War Alliance.”

"The Ancient Path of War Souls: Secret Realm!"

His eyes sparkled with excitement and a hint of seriousness.

"This is no ordinary secret realm. It does not contain rare and precious materials, but rather the imprint of a true ancient war. It is a fragment of the bloody battle fought by the ancestors of the human race and even all races, containing their most primitive and refined understanding of heaven and earth, the laws, and the battle."

“There are some imprints in it, and even the power of creation remains.”

"No matter how strong the replica you see in the Eternal Tower is, it is just a simulated Dao, and it is dead."

"And within the Ancient Path of War Souls are the imprints left by once-living, powerful beings—their will, their soul. In some respects, these wills and souls surpass ordinary laws."

He leaned closer to Jiang Shu and lowered his voice, saying, "It will be of unimaginable help to your enlightenment, especially in consolidating your current realm, understanding the wonders of applying various laws, and comprehending the mindset needed to contend with powerful enemies and survive in dire straits!"

"However, the potential within is limited. Each time the secret realm is opened, it consumes that potential. That's why even Xiaoyun and I haven't been in there many times. But each time we go in, we gain tremendous benefits."

Jiang Shu's heart stirred slightly.

The kind of realm of spiritual inheritance described by Zhan Feng is indeed extremely rare and of extraordinary value, far exceeding ordinary rare and precious materials. Being able to experience the fighting spirit of ancient powerful beings and comprehend the essence of their application of laws is extremely attractive for improving one's understanding of the origin of laws and combat experience.

The replica of the Eternal Tower provides the framework of skills and principles, while the Ancient Path of War Souls provides the more profound "god".

"In that case, if it won't cause any trouble, then I'll shamelessly go in and take a look."

Jiang Shu nodded.

"Don't worry! Brother has made all the arrangements. It will be at noon three days from now, when the ancient road gateway is at its most stable!"

Zhan Feng patted his chest and made all the promises.

The two chatted for a while longer before Zhan Feng got up to say goodbye.

As the night deepened, the core area of ​​the War Alliance appeared exceptionally tranquil, protected by countless restrictions and spatial distortions.

Jiang Shu sat cross-legged, and the lingering unease that had just subsided in his heart yesterday suddenly resurfaced.

boom!
A deep, muffled roar, seemingly coming from the depths of the earth, shattered the false tranquility.

The entire guest hall trembled violently, and the Daoist aura flowing on the walls instantly became disordered, flickering and uncertain, like a candle in the wind.

The floating star model outside the hall shook violently, and the projections of several small stars shattered and then went out instantly!
An indescribable pressure, like an invisible mountain, suddenly enveloped the entire core area of ​​the War Alliance.

The power of this pressure far surpassed that of any Venerable Jiang Shu had ever seen. It was filled with a chaotic, violent, and ancient aura, and even carried a hint of maddening evil!

Jiang Shu instantly stood up, the Desolate Star Halberd already in his hand, fifteen Great Dao patterns appearing on his body, and the Chaos Thunder Pool trembling wildly with purple-gold lightning in the void above his head.

His eyes flashed with silver-blue light as he tried to penetrate the palace's isolation barriers to see the source of the oppressive force.

However, he couldn't see anything.

The space in the core area seemed to be instantly reinforced by a terrifying force, distorting and isolating even spatial perception.

"Roar!"

"presumptuous!"

"Suppression!"

Immediately following this were several short, soul-shaking roars and shouts that erupted.

The sound seemed to originate from the direction of the nine crimson stars suspended above the core area.

Jiang Shu still remembered those nine enormous stars. According to Zhan Feng, they were the secluded cultivation grounds of the nine peak-level Venerable experts of the War Alliance.

What happened there that even alarmed a peak Venerable!
The terrifying energy fluctuations were like a cataclysmic tidal wave. Even through layers of spatial restrictions, Jiang Shu felt suffocated, and his entire body groaned as if it were being crushed.

That was a level far exceeding the battle of the Deep Space Sea Mirror Abyss. Space was violently torn apart, reconstructed, and then crushed once again by terrifying energy.

fighting!

It was an absolutely terrifying battle at the peak of the Venerable level, or even at the level of half-step into sainthood, and it was extremely intense!
But this earth-shattering battle came quickly and went even faster!

In less than ten breaths.

As if an invisible giant hand had forcibly erased all traces and fluctuations, the earth-shattering energy tide and terrifying pressure vanished without a trace in an instant, as if they had never existed.

A deafening roar, a fierce shout, and a terrifying energy shockwave...

Everything subsided in an instant, and deathly silence once again enveloped the earth, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion occurring at the far end of the world.

Only the chaotic and unstable Daoist light and shadow on the palace walls and the shattered and extinguished star projection remained, proclaiming the reality of that brief moment.

Everything is calm.

The silence was eerily calm, sending chills down one's spine.

Jiang Shu stood in the hall, his palms covered in cold sweat.

The tip of the Desolate Star Halberd was still trembling slightly.

He clearly felt that the moment that eerie pressure disappeared, another powerful and vast force, but clearly carrying an aura of depletion and a trace of chaos, forcefully buried it.

This is absolutely not an illusion!
At the heart of the alliance, a momentous event has occurred tonight!
That night, Jiang Shu couldn't sleep at all.

He sat cross-legged, his consciousness highly focused, slowly repairing the slight tremor in his soul caused by the terrifying pressure he had just experienced, while keeping his vigilance at its highest.

He held the War Alliance Star Token tightly in his hand, trying to use his divine sense to connect with the War Alliance's array core, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no response whatsoever.

The isolation of the core area does not appear to have been lifted.

As dawn broke and sunlight struggled to pierce through the dense energy clouds above the Alliance, casting a dim glow, faint footsteps could be heard outside the hall.

But it wasn't Zi Ling who arrived.

Another maid, also dressed in a star-patterned gauze dress, had a beautiful face, but her aura was noticeably less refined than Zi Ling's, and her eyes lacked the sharpness that lay hidden in her sheath.

She stood respectfully outside the door and said softly, "Good morning, Elder Jiang. This servant, Liuyue, has come to serve you on the orders of the Vice Alliance Leader."

Jiang Shu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring directly at the unfamiliar maid, and asked:
"Where is Zi Ling?"

Liu Yue seemed to be intimidated by Jiang Shu's gaze, lowered her head slightly, and spoke with a hint of trepidation.

"Reporting to the elder, Sister Ziling was ordered to carry out an urgent mission last night and will not be able to return for a short time."

"The Alliance Leader has specially ordered me to come and take over to serve the Elder's daily needs."

Ordered to carry out an emergency mission?
Was it last night?
Jiang Shu sneered inwardly.

This excuse is too clumsy. The terrifying battle that broke out last night affected the entire core area. As Zhan Jiuxiao's personal sword attendant, Zi Ling, who is at a similar level to him, could even intervene in a battle at the Venerable Realm.

At such a time, instead of staying by the lord's side, they are being sent to carry out some urgent mission.
Recalling the strange sight of the War God's Record in the bedchamber yesterday, and the fleeting terrifying evil aura of last night, an unsettling thought arose.

Could that battle have been directed at a high-ranking member of the alliance?

It seems that yesterday's banquet was merely a superficial display of the alliance's strength.

The waters of the War Alliance were deeper and more murky than he had imagined!

He remained expressionless, only saying calmly.

"understood."

"Thank you for your help, Miss Liuyue. There's nothing else for now. You can wait outside the palace."

Liu Yue felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and respectfully bowed before withdrawing.

Unlike Zi Ling, she did not possess cultivation levels comparable to a Venerable.

Although he possessed the cultivation level of the ninth realm, he was far inferior to Jiang Shu at this moment.

Like ants under the scorching sun!

Jiang Shu merely stood there, without even releasing her aura, yet a few beads of cold sweat gathered and dripped from her forehead. (End of Chapter)
