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

"Indeed, the difference between the Chaos Realm and the Myriad Manifestations Realm is not just that one has comprehended an additional Great Dao of Space."

Jiang Shu was suspended in the air.

Only when he reached the Chaotic Realm and opened up his inner world did he realize what this realm meant.

Among the three thousand great paths, there is a saying that space is king and time is supreme.

However, some fundamental principles are not necessarily inferior to time and space.

For example, the Great Dao of Power can break through all laws with one force. Like a Venerable who became famous three thousand years ago in the True Martial Sect, his understanding of the Great Dao of Space may not be as good as that of the Demon Venerable, but he can achieve the result of winning in the early stage and winning in the middle stage by relying on the Great Dao of Power.

The reason why understanding the Great Dao of Space is particularly important in the Realm of Myriad Phenomena is that

It is because only by comprehending the Great Dao of Space can one truly open up the inner world, allowing oneself to form an internal and external cycle with heaven and earth.

The Great Way will remain with you forever.

For those in the Chaotic Realm, comprehending the Great Dao of Space is merely a threshold; it does not mean that improving combat power at this level necessarily depends on the Great Dao of Space.

Once you reach the Chaotic Realm, each Dao Venerable must forge their own path to have any chance of not entering the Returning to Emptiness Realm like their predecessors.

"I wonder what the situation is like in the Demon Realm."

"Having been gone for so long, neither the Dao Venerable nor the Demon Venerable have met their end. There must still be many secrets in the vast Cangmang Domain. It's just that my cultivation level was too low back then. Even after I advanced to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, I was always in the midst of a great battle, being hunted down by the demon race, and had no time to spare."

"Once things are settled here, it's time to go back and visit."

"The star gate on Xuanxing will also be moved to the Nine Universes Business Alliance. Although I have connections with Zhan Feng and Zhan Yun, and I have good relationships with several Venerables in the Zhan Alliance, the opportunities I have are too great, and there is no guarantee that someone won't take risks."

"Placing it within the Nine Universes Business Alliance will, on the one hand, reassure the Nine Universes Business Alliance and prove that my heart is with the Nine Universes Business Alliance. On the other hand, it can also remotely suppress the ideas of some venerable figures within the business alliance through the battle alliance."

"Moreover, from now on, any martial artist in Xuanxing who reaches the Nascent Soul stage will be able to enter the Nine Universes Business Alliance and receive the best resources."

"It's not a waste of my time-traveling in this life."

"I should go back and visit my family."

Thoughts swirled in Jiang Shu's mind; at his level, all sorts of thoughts vanished in an instant.

Those who cultivate in the mountains lose track of time, and many cultivators' emotions are gradually worn away during long periods of practice.

After all, sometimes a period of seclusion can last for decades or even centuries.

After leaving the pass, his closest relatives were already old and gray, or even had passed away.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu couldn't help but feel fortunate that his family was on Xuanxing, in the universe, where they had not only cultivation systems but also various technological civilizations.

Some of these technological advancements can rapidly enhance human genes.

It may not significantly increase combat power, but it can grant one a long lifespan.

In the Star Ruins Realm, he saw some mortals who, thanks to the existence of technological civilization, easily lived for two or three hundred years.

This is something that the vast and desolate region can never match.

The development of the Cangmang Great Domain is still in a state similar to feudal society. Although the Cangmang Great Domain has all kinds of natural treasures that can be used to refine all kinds of strange and rare pills.

However, the consumption of these elixirs requires the cultivator to possess a certain level of cultivation.

If one is merely in the mortal stage, one can only extend their lifespan by a few decades at most.

To live easily for four or five hundred years is completely against common sense.

"I once heard from the spirit of the Immortal Palace that some Venerables in the Chaotic Void Realm, once they advance to the Returning Void Realm, will gradually be assimilated by heaven and earth and become less and less human."

"Therefore, some Venerables in the Chaotic Realm will cleanse their hearts from worldly defilement in advance, because only when their hearts are free from impurities can they truly maintain their true selves."

"But this is easier said than done, and it is even more difficult than comprehending the Great Dao."

Jiang Shu's voice grew softer and softer. Having reached the Chaotic Realm, he naturally had to start planning his future cultivation path.

In terms of cultivation level, he possesses the inherited "Great Void Heart Sutra," which allows him to continuously expand the world within his body, serving as the foundation for his cultivation level and enabling him to continuously improve.

In terms of combat power, Zhenwu Sect's "Panwu Dali Daodian" is enough for him to push the Great Dao of Strength to its limit and truly achieve the goal of breaking through all laws with one force.

The Dao is constantly being generated around us.

As Jiang Shu comprehended the Great Dao of Space, he broke through to the Chaotic Realm.

Although he did not delve into the other Great Daos, he was still able to grasp some of them.

If he so desires, he can comprehend and grasp the basics of many of the three thousand great paths in the shortest amount of time.

However, this kind of enlightenment did not greatly help him improve his realm or combat power.

Jiang Shu gradually suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

He opened his palm and pointed one finger.

It was as if the Creator had pointed from afar.

The space before them transformed once again into an invisible cage, simulating a viscous, deep-sea silt-like stagnation force field.

The giant rock, which had been drifting along its inertial trajectory at a constant speed, suddenly stopped, as if embedded in solidified amber, suspended in the void almost motionless.

The force field strength was at Jiang Shu's beck and call. The giant rock groaned under the strain, and fine cracks began to appear on its surface, but under Jiang Shu's precise control, it was stopped from collapsing.

Then, Jiang Shu's figure began to flicker in this desolate meteorite belt.

Each movement was not a sudden disappearance and reappearance like teleportation, but rather in a more mysterious way. His figure became blurred, as if melting and dissipating in the original place, while becoming clear and solid in a new location.

In other words, Jiang Shu's flickering figure was not accomplished by his speed exceeding the naked eye, but rather by something akin to "space jump".

He used the space, repeatedly familiarizing himself with the spatial laws he had just mastered.

As he walked through the spatial rift, the once turbulent spatial currents seemed like a gentle breeze, brushing past him.

With a casual flick of the wrist, one can condense an almost invisible fragment of space at their fingertips, containing their own sharp laws, whose power is enough to silently cut through the protective defenses of even the most elite tenth-realm experts.

In the vast and desolate Cangmang Domain, even if hundreds of demon lords ganged up on him, they would be killed by Jiang Shu with a single flick of his finger!

Unprecedented power is brewing and advancing within this new body.

The world within his body was like a giant black hole, constantly absorbing the vast primordial energy of the Star Ruins Realm.

The depletion of energy and blood from the previous battles has long since been recovered.

Jiang Shu extended his divine sense, and with the application of spatial laws, the coverage area increased by more than a hundred times.

But this is not the end.

Jiang Shu's gaze finally settled on the core of this planet.

Even through the extremely thick rock, he could still clearly sense and see the core of that long-dead star.

With a thought, an invisible and intangible spatial force ignored the material barrier, instantly pierced through the rock layer, and directly descended upon the cooling star core!

Boom! This attack caused the entire desolate planet to tremble violently and painfully.

Deep seismic waves surged and spread from the depths of the earth, tearing apart the stable geological structure that had existed for hundreds of millions of years.

The planet's surface resembled a shattered eggshell, with countless terrifying canyons, tens of thousands of miles wide, instantly spreading out, and pitch-black abysses appearing out of nowhere, their depths unfathomable.

After being dormant for 10,000 years, the volcano was forced to awaken, spewing out giant columns of lava and dust that stained the already dim sky red.

Countless boulders flew and collided in the weightless void, as if in a silent hymn of destruction.

The remaining scattered energy within the core of this dead star was completely activated and detonated under the influence of the invisible spatial forces.

The violent explosion lasted for several breaths before gradually subsiding.

This desolate planet was now completely unrecognizable, as if it had undergone a catastrophe.

Jiang Shu remained suspended in the same spot, untouched by a speck of dust.

For him, this planet-shaking experiment was nothing more than a rehearsal to test the precision of his power control.

If he really wanted to destroy it, he wouldn't even need to use a star weapon; a simple punch would be enough to shatter this planet that had been dead for who knows how many years.

He had reached the Venerable Realm and his body was filled with unprecedented power.

However, it was precisely because this power was too great that Jiang Shu was unable to perfectly control it and his cultivation, so he still needed time to consolidate it.

He finally realized his shortcomings, left the desolate place he had ravaged, and returned to the Tower of Eternity.

The Eternal Tower, the eighth level.

This is a secluded space, possessing only eternal silence.

While only a moment passes outside, several days have already passed inside the tower.

Jiang Shu sat cross-legged in the center of the crystal platform he had created, which was engraved with spatial runes, calming his mind and observing his own body.

The Venerable Realm is not the end of the Dao, but the beginning of control.

The power within him was like a river bursting its banks, surging and turbulent. However, to ensure its unimpeded flow through his meridians, it still needed to be carefully solidified and broadened.

The divine consciousness flowed like a gentle stream, passing through every inch of the meridians in the physical body.

With each breath, the Daoist principles and primordial energy around him surged in as if swallowed by a whale, and were repeatedly tempered within the heaven-and-earth chains of laws behind him.

It then transforms into an even purer source, merging into the blood, bones, and internal organs, making the newly born Venerable's body increasingly resilient and ethereal.

Consolidating one's cultivation is not merely about filling the gaps in one's own cultivation, but also about repeatedly comprehending one's realm and deeply understanding the laws.

His consciousness was immersed in the nascent world that he had just created.

This world originated from the projection of the core Dao patterns of the Black Stone, and is a strange space that exists between reality and illusion, in a blurry and chaotic state.

Jiang Shu's divine sense explored this nascent world like a creator, comprehending the texture and pulse of space itself.

He tried to make this nascent world more stable and its structure clearer.

Each attempt is accompanied by a deeper understanding of the essence of space, resonating and merging with the black stone essence that was previously refined and absorbed.

At the same time, he took out the sapling of the World Tree, which is said to be a once-in-a-millennium sight.

After leaving the saint's tomb, the seedling had been listless, and its two small leaves, which were dark yellow and bluish-green, were even more withered and yellow than before.

However, at this moment, after Jiang Shu carefully infused the seedling with the vast Daoist essence he had gained upon entering the Venerable Realm, the seedling underwent a visible change.

The veins of the leaves seemed to become clearer, and a faint yet infinitely vibrant Daoist aura emanated from them, swirling around Jiang Shu.

This extremely faint Daoist aura slowly seeped into Jiang Shu's body through his limbs and bones, intertwining with the laws of creation within him. Even the most powerful laws, such as the Law of Power and the Primordial Law, were subtly stirred.

Jiang Shu carefully guided this connection, feeling the subtle harmony between this Daoist charm and his own path.

……

A vast expanse of land.

Chaotic Demon Sea, Human Front, Lin Yuan City, Zhenwu Sect's Residence.

A biting wind swept across the mottled city walls, carrying with it the lingering stench of blood.

On the city wall, the disciples of the Zhenwu Sect, dressed in dark blue robes, stared coldly and warily at the land below, scorched by magic and covered with hideous claw marks.

In the distance, the outline of the demon camp was faintly visible in the twilight, like a lurking ferocious beast.

The atmosphere inside the central command tent was heavy and somber.

A huge battle map hangs in the center, marked by arrows indicating the recent advance of the human alliance, winding its way across the vast southern frontier and bringing swathes of demonic territory under its control.

"Battle report from the front: Qingmu Cliff Fortress has been recaptured. The disciples have driven out the Eagle Feather Tribe, who have occupied it for many years, and the defenses are being rebuilt!"

A deacon reported loudly.

"On the western front, the Bloodflame Demon General's forces have been defeated by our Demon-Slaying Army, and the fleeing soldiers are escaping into the depths of the Ancient Beast Wasteland beyond the Chaotic Demon Sea."

Another deacon quickly added.

Good news kept coming, but the brows of the elders in the main tent did not relax.

The Supreme Leader, seated in the main seat, was one of the highest leaders of the human race. A few barely perceptible gray hairs had appeared at his temples.

He was still wearing that gray robe, and his face looked even more somber than before.

He listened silently, his fingers unconsciously tracing the dragon pattern on the armrest of the seat.

Sitting to his left was Jiang Shu's master, the Purple Extreme Daoist.

He had to maintain a high level of coordination on the front lines while also constantly being distracted by the stalemate with the demon lords of the demon race.

Even he couldn't help but feel mentally and physically exhausted.

The rapid advance at the beginning of the war did not bring him much relief; instead, it brought him deeper worries.

After all, in this great war, what the human race wants is to maximize their profits.

This great battle has transformed from an initial invasion by the demon race into a counterattack by the human race.

But the more this is the case, the more cautious we must be.

Because if a mistake is made, all sorts of geniuses among the human race could perish.

As long as the human race faces a generational gap, the demon race will have the opportunity to launch another attack.

For them, the Dao Venerables, what they want is for the disciples of their sects to become stronger and stronger.

Only in this way can these seniors peacefully retreat into seclusion, enjoying the sect's resources, comprehending the Great Dao, and seeking a higher realm. (End of Chapter)
