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

"If you're not careful... you might not be able to defeat them alone."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Shu nodded to himself.

He certainly wouldn't consider himself a match for those terrifying things.

"Right now... we are leading the allied forces... to attack this place... the battle is ongoing and currently at a stalemate, and we need your help."

The sound was intermittent, which Jiang Shu guessed was due to being isolated by the time storm, creating a large number of ripples.

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, lost in thought.

"I'm afraid there's a battle going on outside too. This is really troublesome. What can I do if I stay there all by myself?"

Jiang Shu fell into a deep thought, unsure of what to do.

Just as he was lost in thought, a voice came from him.

"How about we make a deal?"

"what?"

Jiang Shu lowered his head slightly, and then he heard the voice of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor coming from the Golden Crow God statue.

“I can see that your method of using the Tongtian Jianmu is very crude; it’s almost just simple usage without any skill.”

"Do you know that the Heavenly Court was able to traverse the Great Thousand Worlds using the Tongtian Jianmu tree, and even reach other Great Domains besides the Cangmang Great Domain?"

"If I help you, you can step into this place directly and use the Tongtian Jianmu to get away from here, and even travel back and forth between inside and outside."

"How about we make another deal?"

The voice of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor rang out.

His understanding of the Tongtian Jianmu (a mythical tree) far surpassed Jiang Shu's.

Not to mention, as a demon lord, his understanding of the Dao of Time and Space far surpasses that of Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, considering the veracity of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor's words. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "What are the conditions?"

"Help me find a suitable body to possess. It must be close to the Golden Crow, and preferably possess the Dao of Fire..."

The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor immediately gave his terms.

"Can it truly help me traverse the currents of time and space?"

"That's absolutely true!"

The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor immediately spoke in a cold voice.

Jiang Shu remained silent for a moment before speaking, "In that case, I can make a deal with you; give me the secret technique."

"Alright, but you have to swear an oath first, otherwise what if you repent?"

How does one take an oath?

"I swear to my own Great Dao that I will never break this promise."

"it is good."

Jiang Shu immediately nodded: "I am willing to exchange a suitable physical body for the Golden Crow to possess in exchange for the method of controlling the Tongtian Jianmu. If I refuse, I will never advance further in the Great Dao of Power."

"it is good."

The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor nodded in satisfaction, and then a stream of light flew out from the statue.
Jiang Shu grabbed it and then tried to understand it, which broadened his horizons.

The methods for controlling the Heavenly Tree recorded here are far more sophisticated and harder to defend against than the techniques he is currently employing.

One of these methods is called "Establishing the Heavens," which can even create fixed passages between different great realms.

"By setting up the heavens, we can forcibly establish communication, but this requires the Tongtian Jianmu to be fully mature. Right now, the Tongtian Jianmu in your body is only in its infancy. At most, it can only establish a one-time channel. After it is used up, it will be greatly lost and will need external replenishment."

The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor spoke.

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

With his level of skill, he quickly mastered the method of establishing the heavens and eventually put it into practice within his body.

The next moment, the gate to his chaotic space opened, and then the branches of the towering Jianmu tree slowly stretched out, and the surrounding aura of heaven and earth suddenly changed.

The branches of the Jianmu tree, seemingly brimming with vitality, stretched into the distance, then rapidly expanded and grew, even plunging directly into the turbulent void.

The branches of the towering Jianmu tree began to tremble rapidly, and Jiang Shu poured all his power into it to forcefully maintain its shape.

A moment later, as time continued to pass, Jiang Shu felt the branches reach the other side.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Shu immediately set off, then stepped onto the swaying branches and ventured deep into the subspace.

The branches of the Jianmu tree beneath his feet were in danger of breaking at any moment, but with Jiang Shu's support, he managed to hold on.

Jiang Shu strode forward, quickly heading deeper into the area, and forcefully resisting the attack.

clack clack...

Suddenly, a crack appeared, and Jiang Shu's pupils contracted. He immediately increased his speed.

Then, seeing that the tide of time was about to destroy everything, Jiang Shu walked directly out of that area.

"call!"

Jiang Shu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Luckily, we arrived in time."

He glanced at the towering Jianmu tree within his body and immediately noticed that the divine tree had become listless, as if it had consumed a great deal of energy.

"In the short term, at most two more times, unless there is sufficient external resource supply."

Jiang Shu nodded to himself.

He turned his gaze back and immediately saw the direction of the torch.

"finally……"

Jiang Shu was overjoyed and immediately set off.

However, he did not head directly to the Mingkuang Star Region, but instead followed his earlier senses and proceeded step by step.

"Send me your coordinates, indicating which direction you are in."

Jiang Shu immediately responded by speaking in response to the telepathic message.

The reply arrives instantly.

"Our coordinates are located at... arrive as soon as possible."

Jiang Shu was overjoyed and immediately set off. In just a moment, he saw a group of starships appear around the subspace waves.

A small planet formed from countless machines emerged in subspace.

At this moment, the two mechanical mother bodies were located on that planet, controlling the mechanical planet.

In addition, a figure immediately flew out from one of the starships.

"Jiang Shu, it's best that you're alright."

Zhan Jiuxiao walked out, his face full of joy.

"Greetings, Alliance Leader."

Jiang Shu quickly responded with a smile, saying, "It almost turned out badly, but luckily I managed to escape in time."

"By the way, how did you escape from that spatial turbulence?" Zhan Jiuxiao immediately asked.

"This one……"

Jiang Shu looked troubled.

Given the sensitive nature of his own secrets and the presence of the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor, even he was unwilling to say more.

After all, now that he had already made a deal with the Golden Crow Emperor, he would not betray him at this time.

"I'm just curious. After all, if we can get inside, we might have a chance!" Zhan Jiuxiao quickly said, naturally understanding that this might be one of Jiang Shu's secrets.

Jiang Shu sighed softly, "Alas, if I could bring others along, I would be willing. It's just that I can only bring this method to myself, I can't help others."

"I see……"

Zhan Jiuxiao's face showed a hint of regret, then he said, "Come with me. You're the only one who's going in. Tell me what's going on inside."

"it is good."

Jiang Shu immediately followed Zhan Jiuxiao.

He soon followed the alliance leader into a starship and into the command hall, where he was immediately met with a barrage of gazes.

Besides the three external races, there were also some powerful beings native to the small universe, including humans, machines, and even the spirit race he had seen before.

"Is this Venerable Jiang, the one you directly probed into?"

At this moment, the Spirit Clan Venerable, whose appearance was extremely similar to that of humans, but even more striking and eerie, smiled slightly and spoke.

The Spirit Clan Venerable appeared to be a woman, and her gaze as she looked at Jiang Shu was full of curiosity.

"good."

Zhan Jiuxiao nodded slightly, then said, "In that case, tell everyone what exactly happened."

Almost instantly, everyone's eyes were drawn to Jiang Shu's body.

Jiang Shu walked step by step, then reached the center, gathered his power in his throat, and spoke: "Everyone, the scene inside may exceed your imagination. It is a scene similar to the ancient society of the human race..."

Jiang Shu began by describing his experience of falling into that area, then focused on the so-called spiritual root and demon core.

"The so-called spiritual root and demon core, according to what you've said, are essentially like a naturally occurring prosthetic device, possessing functions such as high-speed computing, assisting the body, and transmitting information?"

At this moment, the mechanical mother-body clone that resembled a head spoke up and asked a question.

"Yes."

Jiang Shu nodded slightly, then took out several crystal cores from his sleeve.

"These are sealed away by me using special methods. You can take a look."

He displayed those crystal cores.

The next moment, one of them drifted toward the mechanical mother body.

“Discovered mechanical equipment system.”

"Unfamiliar protocol detected, intrusion in progress..."

"Intrusion successful!"

"Modifiable content, computing power allocation protocol, computing power depletion protocol, computing power aggregation protocol..."

Suddenly, scenes lit up on the screen in the distance, each a first-person perspective.

At this moment, Jiang Shu spoke up from the side.

“This crystal core comes from a venerable one who died at my hands.”

"A Venerable One whom you killed?"

Zhan Jiuxiao spoke up, "Tell me exactly how many Venerables are among them."

Jiang Shu pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "There are a total of seven late-stage Venerables, about ten mid-stage Venerables, and over thirty early-stage Venerables."

As soon as he finished speaking, even those powerful figures present who had anticipated this were still taken aback.

"How many? Seven cultivators at the late stage of the Venerable realm?"

Blood Scythe couldn't help but speak up.

"Yes, isn't the quantity too much?"

Many powerful figures were utterly astonished.

It should be understood that in these ordinary star fields of the microcosms, it is already a good thing to have a Venerable One presiding over them.

Within this star field, there are actually seven late-stage Venerables, and the total number of Venerables may even exceed fifty!
Even in the vast universe, this race would probably be considered a dominant force!

Just as everyone was filled with shock and disbelief, Jiang Shu coughed and then said, "Please don't be shy, everyone. Have you forgotten that they can directly use computing power to forcibly calculate themselves? As for resources..."

Just as Jiang Shu was about to offer his guess, the mechanical mother spoke up.

"As for resources, it's actually quite simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of many powerful figures present turned to the mechanical mother clone.

"The Matrix, how do they obtain resources?"

"It's actually very simple: plunder and conquer."

The mechanical matrix spoke calmly: "I took over the databases of many planets, including some fallen races, and subsequently learned that some star systems would suffer disasters."

"Where they go, all living things perish, and resources are exhausted before being taken away."

"We can imagine this scenario: the being that followed the spacetime wave merged countless heads into one, recombining them into itself, and then left this star system to travel to other star systems."

"Then, by chance, he found another star system inhabited by living beings, and then he carried out a massacre."

"For him, the countless heads that make up his body symbolize a living being, and also a cell."

"If he finds other living beings and forcibly slaughters them, if it were me, I would use the resources for cell culture."

"To give a simple analogy..."

The mechanical matrix, resembling a head, swept over all beings present and said, "Just like an ordinary creature going out to eat, returning home full, every cell in its body has enjoyed the nourishment of this power."

As soon as he finished speaking, all around fell silent!
They then realized that this seemed to make sense.

Otherwise, how could so many Venerable Ones be born if there were no resources provided?
and so……

The monster behind that barrier must have devoured countless living beings to accumulate so many resources.

The many venerable ones were terrified and utterly astonished.

Just then, Jiang Shu suddenly spoke up.

"There is no need for you to worry. During my time inside, I also killed some powerful individuals and weakened their strength."

Upon hearing these words, a Venerable immediately spoke up, saying, "Venerable Jiang, there's no need to say more about this matter. No matter how strong one person is, they cannot weaken it by much."

Upon hearing these words, the other powerful figures nodded in agreement.

Jiang Shu remained calm, and finally spoke: "Within that barrier, I killed one late-stage Venerable, four mid-stage Venerables, and seven early-stage Venerables..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Glug!

At this moment, Zhan Feng, who was listening nearby, swallowed hard and then counted on his fingers, "Damn it, there are already twelve Venerables, and one of them is even in the late stage of Venerable!?"

Zhan Feng looked at Jiang Shu in disbelief, and suddenly felt as if there was a thick barrier between them.

How long has it been? How come Jiang Shu has made further progress in combat strength?

Are they really all at the Venerable Realm?
It feels like the Venerable Jiang Shu was promoted to is not at the same level as the Venerable he was promoted to.

"really?"

Zhan Jiuxiao couldn't help but ask.

"That's natural. Actually, when I was inside, I had already sensed the true nature of that monster, so I began to intentionally hunt down powerful individuals."

"This is my record."

Jiang Shu spoke calmly, then released his aura.

In an instant, everyone present was shocked!
This is... the late stage of the Venerable Realm! (End of Chapter)
