Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Qingzhou, Guiling Palace!

Su Jie stood in front of the hall where the mountain gate was located.

In the open space in front of the temple, there is a deep pit that leads directly to the depths of the ground.

Standing around were the leader of Guiling Palace Zhang Junwei, elders such as Tang Peiqing and Qiu Laodao, as well as a large number of disciples, all staring at the pit intently.

It has been three days since Su Jie returned from Gyeongju. After briefly telling Zhang Junwei about the war, he has been working non-stop for the development of Guiling Palace. The pit in front of him is Su Jie's masterpiece.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the pit.

The Thousand-Armed Centipede crawled out of the pit covered in mud, shook its body, and made two sizzling sounds towards Su Jie.

Su Jie smiled and said to Zhang Junwei, "Sect Master, it's done."

"Yeah, let me take a look."

Zhang Junwei walked quickly to the edge of the pit and saw a firefly-like spiritual halo in the pit that led deep into the underground.

That is the underground spiritual vein that was excavated and presented to the world.

Su Jie took out the dragon vein crystal fruit from the storage bag and threw it into the underground pit.

When the Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit continued to fall and fell into the spiritual vein.

It was as if the most dazzling divine light between heaven and earth was gushing out from underground, and the extremely rich spiritual energy formed a five-colored glow, gushing out from the ground like a fountain, spreading towards the four directions of the Guiling Palace gate.

Above the sky above Guiling Palace, an illusory shadow of a real dragon emerged, its scales lifelike, its horns majestic, and its eyes cold.

Legend has it that the original source of the dragon veins was the corpse of a dead real dragon, which was buried deep underground. Day after day, year after year, it was infected by the underground spiritual veins, and then the dragon veins between heaven and earth were formed.

Su Jie didn’t believe this rumor before, but now seeing the shadow of the real dragon in the sky, he became a little skeptical.

In front of the hall, all the cultivators and disciples who saw the phantom of the real dragon took a deep breath. A powerful pressure covered them. Some outer disciples with weak cultivation were even pressed to the ground and could not stand up at all.

The elders in the Secret Treasure Realm were the opposite. After the illusory real dragon appeared, their eyes lit up.

Only the elders can feel the existence of this illusory real dragon, which contains a trace of enlightenment of the Great Dao that other disciples cannot feel. The elders in the Secret Treasure Realm who have cultivated their primordial spirits and can connect to the long river of the Great Dao can clearly understand the effect of this illusory real dragon on them. It can make people enter a state of enlightenment and comprehend the truth of the Great Dao.

This was the first time that the underground spiritual vein was activated. Under the influence of the Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit, the spiritual vein was transformed into a Dragon Vein.

The underground spiritual veins are the spiritual rivers of the Tianyuan world, and the dragon veins are the source of the spiritual energy. When the spiritual veins transform into dragon veins, to a certain extent, it is the embodiment of the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

By observing and understanding the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, practicing here will quickly lead to enlightenment, which can help people increase their cultivation and break through realms to the greatest extent.

"Everyone, meditate and practice."

Seeing this, Zhang Junwei cherished this precious time of enlightenment very much, and after he finished speaking, he was the first to sit cross-legged.

The disciples and elders nearby sat down cross-legged one after another, sitting in different positions according to their status.

Su Jie also sat down cross-legged. Given his status, he naturally sat in the most core position, feeling the majestic and pure spiritual energy sweeping over the heaven and earth at all times. With every breath, the cells in his body cheered and his body became extremely excited and active.

On the soul level, Su Jie's soul observed the illusory real dragon in the sky, and all kinds of extremely complicated and scattered knowledge continuously poured into Su Jie's mind.

All this knowledge is related to the Tao, which is like a kind of universal formula that allows people to understand the essence of skills, techniques, tools and other related things directly.

Of course, due to the incompleteness of the rules of the Tao, the human spirit cannot bear it, so depending on the individual’s understanding, each person can gain different things.

People like Su Jie, who have reached the level of the God-in-One, can observe directly with their souls, but the elders and disciples in the Secret Treasure Realm can only observe with their naked eyes. Otherwise, if they are not careful, their souls may be impacted and damaged.

Su Jie slowly closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation.

Time passed by minute by minute.

In just one hour, changes began to take place.

"I, I have made a breakthrough. I have reached the sixth level of the Soul Condensation Realm. Haha, I can become an inner sect disciple."

"I broke through the third level and reached the fourth level of the Soul Condensation Realm in one go. I feel like there are so many more things in my mind!"

"Hahahaha, it worked. I finally broke through to the Hidden Treasure Realm. Thank you, Saint Son, for bringing me the dragon vein."

The expressions of some of the disciples who awakened first were ecstatic, as if they were crazy. Some even broke through three levels from the Soul-Enriching Realm. There were also inner disciples in the Soul-Enriching Realm who broke through directly to the Secret Treasury Realm, ascending to heaven in one step and completing the leap in status from disciples to elders.

More and more disciples woke up at the scene. Even if some disciples with poor comprehension did not make a breakthrough, their spiritual power increased a lot, so it was not a complete loss.

The illusory real dragon in the sky became fainter and fainter. After several hours, the top leaders of Guiling Palace woke up one after another and opened their eyes from that miraculous enlightenment.

"A breakthrough in realm."

Zhang Junwei looked down at himself and saw that his strength had been raised to the third level of Daotai Realm. A look of great joy appeared on his face.

It is not easy to break through to the next level in Daotai realm practice. It requires a lot of hard work. I didn’t expect that I would have an epiphany today and achieve a breakthrough.

Rumble!
The sky was suddenly covered with layers of dark clouds, and silver snakes of lightning shuttled through the clouds and struck down towards somewhere in the hall.

The elders and disciples nearby were all frightened and fled in all directions.

Only one person was still sitting there, that was an old man with white hair and beard. He was Tang Peiqing, the great elder of Guiling Palace, a powerful man at the fifth level of the Secret Treasury Realm, and also the most senior elder in Guiling Palace.

Bolts of lightning struck Tang Peiqing, frying his flesh and blood, leaving his skin torn.

"Is this Elder Tang breaking through to the Daotai realm?"

Zhang Junwei was the first to react when he saw this. He lost his usual calmness and became ecstatic.

When the other elders saw this, their eyes were filled with envy. Many of them had broken through the realm. After all, compared to the disciples, those who could cultivate to the secret treasure realm would not be too bad in comprehension, and naturally they would gain more from enlightenment.

However, the Secret Treasure Realm and the Daotai Realm are two completely different concepts. The former is only the backbone of the sect, while the latter can serve as the sect's stabilizer.

In many medium to large sects, often only the sect leader has the cultivation level of Daotai realm, and the sect leaders of some sects are only at the fifth level of Mizang realm.

Even a powerful sect like Guanchao Pavilion, the number one sect in Qingzhou, only has seven Daotai realm experts.

It is conceivable that it is not easy to break through and advance to the Daotai realm. The thunder tribulation continued to strike Tang Peiqing, and it lasted for half an hour. Tang Peiqing finally survived the thunder tribulation.

When the dark clouds in the sky dissipated and Tang Peiqing walked out, his cultivation had surprisingly advanced to the Daotai realm, making him a powerful cultivator at the first level of the Daotai realm.

"Haha, Elder Tang, congratulations on your promotion to the Daotai realm today. My Guiling Palace has gained another great general today. It is really a blessing for my Guiling Palace!"

Zhang Junwei's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. He, Su Jie, and the newly promoted Tang Peiqing, Guiling Palace now had three Daotai realm masters. Considering the current situation of Guanchao Pavilion being weak until now, they might be able to compete for the title of the number one sect in Qingzhou.

"I have to thank Su Jie for my advancement to the Daotai realm. Without the Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit he brought back, I wouldn't have had this opportunity for enlightenment."

Tang Peiqing looked at Su Jie who was still sitting cross-legged in meditation. In addition to gratitude, he also said with emotion: "I never thought that the younger generation who asked me to take care of him has grown to this point. The future of Guiling Palace really depends on him. Taoist Qiu, you really trained a good disciple!"

Tang Peiqing also watched how Su Jie grew up step by step. After becoming an immortal seedling, Su Jie's progress became faster and faster.

He, who had helped Su Jie in the past, is now under Su Jie's care. The speed of his progress is so fast that even Tang Peiqing, a knowledgeable senior elder, is impressed.

"It's all thanks to Su Jie's own hard work. I just gave him some minor pointers. It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Taoist Qiu stroked his beard and spoke modestly, but his voice was like thunder, as if he was afraid that others would not know.

"You're almost breaking through, too."

Tang Peiqing rolled his eyes, then looked at Taoist Qiu for a few times and said, "It seems that you have made a lot of progress. You can expect to reach the Daotai realm!"

Taoist Qiu was originally the elder with the highest combat power ranking in Guiling Palace. Now that he has had an epiphany, he feels that he has great hope of breaking through to the Daotai realm.

"It's hard to say. Don't flatter me. It's not that easy to break through to the Daotai realm."

Taoist Qiu waved his hands, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Although he did not break through to the Daotai Realm, he had already thoroughly consolidated his cultivation in the fifth level of the Secret Treasure Realm. He felt that under the influence of the dragon vein environment, he really had a chance to take this step in the next few years.

While they were talking, the illusory shadow of the real dragon in the sky gradually faded and finally slowly disappeared into the air. This also meant that this opportunity for enlightenment would come to an end.

At the last second before the illusory dragon disappeared, Su Jie finally opened his eyes and woke up from his epiphany.

Su Jie suddenly opened his eyes, two rays of divine light burst out, and at the same time, his nostrils opened and closed, and an invisible wind swept in all directions, blowing all the disciples toppling over.

The spiritual energy formed a funnel shape with Su Jie as the center, and a huge amount of spiritual energy poured into Su Jie's body.

Click!

Click!

Two crisp sounds came from Su Jie's body at the same time, and the total amount of spiritual power in his body soared several times.

"The fourth level of Daotai realm is complete."

Su Jie clenched his fists, and he broke through two realms in succession, reaching the fourth level of Daotai realm in one breath.

The breakthrough in cultivation to the Daotai realm is based on the seven orifices, namely the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. During this sudden enlightenment, Su Jie directly opened up all the seven orifices of his nose.

Because a person's two nostrils are connected, coupled with Su Jie's talent, the Purple Thunder Body and his powerful spirit, Su Jie gained the most from enlightenment among all the people present.

By specifically choosing the nose for breakthrough, one can break through two levels in one go and achieve a rapid improvement in strength.

"Su Jie, what are you doing?"

Zhang Junwei and Tang Peiqing were the ones who could feel the change in Su Jie's strength the most. Zhang Junwei was fine with the oppressive aura, but Tang Peiqing just felt that in front of Su Jie, he was like a small fish, completely unable to fight against the ferocious predator, the crocodile.

Tang Peiqing understood that although he had been promoted to the Daotai realm, in terms of strength, there was still a huge gap between him and Su Jie, and they were completely incomparable.

Even the current sect leader Zhang Junwei is far from being a match for Su Jie.

Tang Peiqing thought so in his heart. Although he had a good relationship with Zhang Junwei, to be honest, he didn't think Zhang Junwei could be better than Su Jie.

"Su Jie, the Dragon Vein Crystal Fruit you brought to the sect has greatly increased the sect's foundation. You joined Guiling Palace and became a disciple of Guiling Palace. You are destined to lead Guiling Palace to glory, so I decided..."

Zhang Junwei took a deep breath, looked at Su Jie steadily, and said, "I have decided to pass the position of sect leader to Su Jie."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the monks at the scene were stunned, and then there was an uproar.

This decision came so unexpectedly that they were all caught off guard.

Su Jie felt the same way, but he was not as excited as expected. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Master, there is no rush for this matter. With the opportunity of the dragon vein here, I need to concentrate on breaking through and strive to break through to the fifth, sixth, seventh, and even purple mansion realms as soon as possible."

Su Jie was not in a hurry to agree to the position of sect leader.

Because the spiritual veins under Guiling Palace have been transformed into dragon veins, although there is no sudden enlightenment, but with its vast spiritual power, Su Jie will be in a period of rapid growth in strength in the next few years.

Managing the sect will definitely take up his energy. Anyway, the position of sect leader will be his sooner or later, so he is not in a hurry at all. Strength is his greatest guarantee.

"You are the rightful leader of this sect. Everyone in Guiling Palace respects you."

Zhang Junwei tried to persuade him again, but when he saw that Su Jie did not look fake, he felt a little puzzled.

Competition in the magic world is cruel, just like a lion group. If the old lion king is old and weak, the middle-aged lions will definitely challenge and seize the throne of lion king.

This is often the way things are done in the demonic sects. Zhang Junwei knew that his strength was far weaker than Su Jie's, so he took the initiative to offer to abdicate, which was the best way. Unexpectedly, Su Jie was unwilling to do so.

"Master, there is no need to persuade me anymore. Three years, I will take over the position of Master after three years. Now I ask you to continue to manage Guiling Palace for a while."

Su Jie shook his head to refuse. He was still planning to return to Blue Star for a while, especially to build wonders, which he had to do personally. If he accepted the position of the leader of Guiling Palace and took over the management of such a large sect at the beginning, it would definitely take up a lot of his time and energy.

Zhang Junwei persuaded him a few more times, but seeing that Su Jie was determined, he could only nod and agree: "Okay, as long as you know what's going on, let's make a three-year agreement first."

"Thank you for your understanding, Master. In three years, I will definitely expand the Guiling Palace."

Su Jie clasped his fists. The position of the leader of Guiling Palace that he had longed for was basically in his bag. It was time for Su Jie to get ready and return to Blue Star.

Su Jie has never forgotten that his roots are on Blue Star.

Blue Star is the foundation of his rise, including his step-by-step rise from an outer disciple, to an elder, and then to a holy son. Now even Zhang Junwei has recommended him to be the leader of Guiling Palace. It is also because of the existence of Blue Star that Su Jie has achieved what he has today. (End of this chapter)
