Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Tianyuan World!

Beyond the boundary of the Great Dao River, amidst the turbulent air currents that rippled for thousands of miles, an enormous chaotic creature wailed as its head was smashed open by the Primordial Holy Thunder Tree, and its body suffered extensive bone and tendon fractures.

Su Jie stood in the void, the Primordial Holy Thunder Tree was activated, and countless divine thunderbolts from the Great Dao rushed in, instantly causing the chaotic creature to tremble all over, its body charred black, and completely severing its last trace of life.

"The third one."

Su Jie let out a soft breath. This was the sixth month since Su Jie came to the Great Dao River to hunt chaotic creatures, and the third Great Dao chaotic creature he had encountered.

Even with Su Jie's deliberate search and his own great strength, the number of chaotic creatures in the Great Dao River is extremely sparse. In all this time, Su Jie has only found three.

He put away the Primordial Holy Thunder Tree, opened the Kunlun Mirror's void gate, and aimed it at the chaotic creature's corpse before him.

Swish!
The chaotic creature's corpse flew rapidly toward the void portal, then was completely twisted and swallowed up. Su Jie also took a big step and walked into it.

With a shift in perspective, Su Jie appeared in the lunar core, where there were two cocoons, one large and one small, which were the Thousand-Handed Centipede and the Annual Rot Worm that had been transferred there.

Whether sensing Su Jie's presence or discovering delicious food, the two cocoons suddenly began to throb faster, and the faint chirping of insects could be heard, like fledglings opening their mouths wide, waiting for their parents to feed them.

Su Jie shook his head helplessly, grabbed with his large hand, compressed and crushed the huge chaotic creature's corpse, and evenly covered it around the two cocoons.

The cocoon releases astonishing heat fluctuations, continuously drawing upon the flesh and blood of the chaotic creatures, causing them to rapidly decay and dry up, losing their vitality. This is because the genes and life energy within are absorbed by the centipede and the rotifer.

The aura of the two cocoons became much stronger than before as they absorbed the corpses of the chaotic creatures.

But Su Jie knew that a few chaotic creatures were far from enough to make the two Gu worms hatch and evolve into ten-turn golden Gu.

If one doesn't have the domineering genes that absorb immortal blood, it might be possible, but with the fusion of immortal blood, the difficulty increases by more than tenfold.

click!
As Su Jie pondered, the void suddenly trembled, the Great Dao River tore apart, and a beautiful figure emerged—it was Han Ruyan, the ghost in her wedding dress.

She took out the Billion Soul Banner, unfolded the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and threw out a huge corpse of a chaotic creature.

Su Jie wasn't the only one hunting chaotic creatures; Han Ruyan, who had also been promoted to the Yin Xu Ghost King, was doing the same thing, and she had also hunted two chaotic creatures during this period.

With Han Ruyan's combat power, she used the Concept Void Underworld to become the Ghost King of the Underworld, and with the Billion Soul Banner in hand, even Void Emperors of the same level would only be able to be abused by her, and hunting down chaotic creatures would be a piece of cake.

The centipede and rotifer, nourished by food once again, radiated waves of joy. Although they could not come out to end their evolution, their consciousness remained, and they could perceive everything in the outside world.

"And another thing, are you two reincarnations of the Taotie?"

Su Jie sensed the Thousand-Handed Centipede's "hungry, hungry, food" expression and was speechless.

"This can't go on. The longer it drags on, the harder it will be to get promoted."

Han Ruyan frowned slightly. She and Su Jie had only managed to hunt down five chaotic creatures in the past six months. Although it seemed like a lot, it was still a drop in the ocean for the two Gu worms that wanted to fuse with the immortal blood.

"We can only take it one step at a time. If all else fails, I'll risk using the Kunlun Mirror to lure monsters."

Su Jie paused for a moment before speaking, saying that the Kunlun Mirror had a strange attraction to chaotic creatures, and it also had an attraction to the Dao Ancestor.

If one were to stir up the aura of the Kunlun Mirror within the Great Dao River, it would easily attract the attention of the Dao-Crossing Ancestor.

"Let's go back and rest for a couple of days."

He patted Han Ruyan on the shoulder, explaining that hunting chaotic creatures in the Great Dao River was no easy task. The process of searching for prey required constantly expanding one's divine sense, which was very taxing on one's spirit.

Han Ruyan nodded slightly, stepped through the void portal opened by Su Jie, and returned to the Canggu Continent.

Meanwhile, within the Canggu Continent, a group of uninvited guests quietly arrived.

On the bustling streets of Dali City in the Great Xia Dynasty, a group of people dressed differently from the locals were walking through the streets and alleys. There were five of them in total, wearing black and gold brocade robes with lightning-like patterns on the cuffs. Some of them looked to be in their late twenties, while others looked to be in their forties or fifties.

"Shopkeeper, how do I use this?"

In a shop, a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old and had a gentle and refined demeanor picked up a mobile phone from the shelf and asked him a question with a smile.

"This is called a cell phone, a core product manufactured by Puppet Company. You won't lose out by buying it."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. As the Great Xia Dynasty conquered one small country after another on the Canggu Continent, many people from these small countries came to Dali City. Country bumpkins like this from out of town were the easiest to swindle.

As the shopkeeper enthusiastically introduced the products, by the time they left the shop, each of them had a mobile phone in their hand.

What the shopkeeper didn't know was that the person he had just sold at a higher price was a guest from the famous Wan Jie Holy Land, one of the five great holy lands, and among them was even the Void Emperor.

"These little gadgets are quite interesting."

After fiddling with his phone for a while with some awkwardness, the middle-aged man, also known as Emperor Tian Shu, chuckled.

He has been an emperor for ten thousand years and is famous for refining the Tian Shu Mountain.

However, even with Emperor Tian Shu's extensive knowledge, he still had a great eye-opening experience after arriving on the Cang Gu Continent.

No more oxen and horses pulling iron carts, no more mobile phones for long-distance communication, no more hundred-meter-long iron beds running on the sea, no more factories that work day and night.

Emperor Tian Shu was no stranger to puppets. Large magic boats, mechanical cities, and flying puppets were not uncommon outside. However, no matter which continent it was, these things were always only circulated among cultivators. But Cang Gu Continent was different. Here, puppet products were distributed to ordinary people, and even an ordinary farmer could use them conveniently. This was a scene that Emperor Tian Shu had never seen before.

"These are just some strange and ingenious tricks. They can only fool the lower classes and are of no benefit to one's own spiritual cultivation."

A young-looking man said calmly. Although he looked only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, he was actually over eight thousand years old. He was another Great Emperor of the Myriad Tribulations Holy Land, named the Earth Profound Great Emperor. He was relatively assertive and not as steady as the Heavenly Pivot Great Emperor.

The other three members of the group were all Purple Mansion cultivators. They dared not participate in the conversation between the two Great Emperors and simply collected information from what they saw and heard.

“Di Xuan, you are narrow-minded. We did not come here to clash with Emperor Xing Yuan. You can say that to me, but don’t say it to his face.”

Tian Shu glanced at Di Xuan, knowing his colleague's temperament. If it weren't for the other emperors' unwillingness to come, he really wouldn't want to bring him along.

Sensing the warning in Emperor Tian Shu's gaze, Emperor Di Xuan curled his lips and said nothing more.

The group strolled along the street, stopping frequently, until they finally arrived at a mansion with carved beams and painted rafters.

As the vermilion gate was pushed open, the Ning sisters, Ning Yunying and Ning Xinyue, came into view to greet us. "Master Uncle!"

Ning Yunying looked at Emperor Tian Shu, seemingly having known all along that he would come, appearing as if she had been prepared.

"Long time no see, Yunying, and little Yueyue."

Emperor Tian Shu smiled. No one in the Myriad Tribulations Holy Land dared to disobey this Holy Maiden.

Among the younger generation of prodigies, the Holy Maiden of Myriad Tribulations undoubtedly holds the top spot with unparalleled combat power, firmly suppressing the holy sons and daughters of the other four holy lands. No one can withstand three moves from her.

Of course, this excludes the recently rising Star Emperor. Although he is the same age as me, he has the blood of several Void Emperors on his hands, so no one would consider him a member of the younger generation.

"Uncle-Master, how old am I? Why do you still call me that?"

Ning Xinyue puffed out her cheeks. She and her older sister Ning Yunying entered the Myriad Tribulations Holy Land when they were young. Because their master was the younger sister of Emperor Tian Shu, Emperor Tian Shu took good care of the two of them.

"Uncle-Master, please come in and have some tea and rest for a while."

Ning Yunying welcomed everyone inside, and soon the aroma of tea filled the air, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

"Yun Ying, I heard that the Myriad Dragon Pearl is in your possession. May I take it out and have a look?"

After taking a sip of tea, the Earthly Profound Emperor suddenly spoke, and his words immediately silenced the tea room.

The Myriad Dragon Pearl is a genuine top-tier Dao treasure. Such a treasure is extremely rare and cannot be found in ordinary Dao treasures.

Even the Void Emperor would find it hard to restrain himself when faced with a top-tier Dao treasure, let alone the Myriad Dragon Pearl, a renowned top-tier Dao treasure. Such a treasure is second only to immortal treasures in terms of rarity for the Holy Land.

If you can get your hands on it, it will easily boost your combat power several times over.

"Di Xuan, are you pretending I don't exist?"

Tian Shu snorted coldly, put down his teacup, and shifted his gaze to Di Xuan. Only then did he realize why Emperor Di Xuan had rushed over to do this arduous task that others would avoid at all costs—it turned out he was after the Myriad Dragon Pearl.

"Tian Shu, a top-tier Dao treasure like the Myriad Dragon Pearl cannot be fully utilized by cultivators at the Purple Mansion level. It's not that I covet this top-tier Dao treasure, but to be honest, a new wave of chaotic tides is coming soon, and every holy land is doing its best to enhance its strength. Everything must prioritize the overall situation."

Di Xuan remained indifferent, vehemently denying that he had coveted the Myriad Dragon Pearls.

"Hmph, the 'big picture' you're talking about means sacrificing our interests."

Ning Xinyue couldn't stand it anymore and glared angrily at Di Xuan. Her sister had obtained the Myriad Dragon Pearl, and Di Xuan actually wanted to ask for it back with just a few words. If he was so capable, why didn't he come to the Canggu Continent himself in the first place?

"Do you even have the right to speak here?"

The Earth Profound Emperor's eyes turned cold. He was a great emperor, and Ning Xinyue, with her status, dared to speak to him like that.

"What, you want to intimidate us with your power? When did our Myriad Tribulations Holy Land have such a rule? You want the Myriad Dragon Pearls? The era when Emperor Tianwu was active was only a thousand years ago. Why didn't you ask Emperor Tianwu for the Myriad Dragon Pearls back then?"

Ning Yunying slammed the teacup down on the table with a bang; she wasn't one to have a good temper.

She criticized her own sister in front of her, even though the other party was the Void Emperor, and she still made sarcastic remarks.

Upon hearing this, Di Xuan's face immediately darkened. In the era when the Heavenly Martial Emperor was active, he was already at the Dao Crossing Realm and possessed the Myriad Dragon Pearl and the Kunlun Mirror. Only someone with a screw loose would dare to ask him for the Myriad Dragon Pearl; otherwise, he would be beaten to a pulp!

"Do you have no sense of hierarchy? As the Holy Maiden of the Myriad Tribulations Holy Land, you don't understand how to solve the Holy Land's problems at all. It's truly..."

Before Emperor Di Xuan could say anything more, Emperor Tian Shu slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his gaze icy as he said, "Enough, Di Xuan. For the sake of the Holy Land, don't force me to take action. Do you want to fight me here?"

A powerful pressure enveloped the void, and the Purple Mansion cultivators who followed remained silent as if they were cicadas in winter. Di Xuan's face also turned pale and then red. Seeing that Tian Shu was determined to protect Ning Yun Ying and was willing to oppose him, a Void Emperor, he was furious.

"Tian Shu, you'll regret this."

Di Xuan stood up, uttered those words, and slammed the door shut as he left.

"Hmph, I was the one who orchestrated this trip."

Tian Shu's face was gloomy, extremely dissatisfied with Di Xuan's disrespectful behavior.

The door trembled, and the other Purple Mansion cultivators also quickly got up to take their leave.

"It's been hundreds of years since we last met. I didn't expect Di Xuan's temper to have grown so much. He's here for the sake of the Myriad Dragon Pearls."

Tian Shu sat down again. His sister had died in the Great Dao River, leaving behind his two personal disciples, Ning Yunying and Ning Xinyue, whom he had always taken good care of. If he had known that Di Xuan was like this, he would never have allowed her to come to the Canggu Continent with him.

"Uncle-Master, this has nothing to do with you."

Ning Yunying shook her head and poured Emperor Tian Shu another cup of tea.

No organization can be monolithic; conflicts will arise as long as there are interests involved. Even an organization with a long history like the Myriad Calamities Holy Land is not immune to various conflicts of interest. Ning Yunying understood this principle long ago, and even when she ascended to the position of Holy Maiden, she faced various open and covert attacks.

So what if he's the Great Emperor Dongxu? They too will turn against each other for profit, it's just that ordinary interests can't sway them. That's human nature.

"Yun Ying, judging from your current state, you're not far from being promoted, are you?"

After taking a sip of tea, Emperor Tian Shu suddenly spoke, pointing out Ning Yun Ying's condition.

"I can't hide it from my senior master; I have indeed gained some insights recently."

Ning Yunying smiled. She cultivated the "Ten Thousand Tribulations Nirvana Technique," a miraculous technique known as the foremost technique in the Tianyuan World. It was extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring one to undergo countless tribulations to be reborn. It demanded that the cultivator sever their own realm and repeatedly climb back up the path of cultivation, undergoing tribulations again and again. Often, it would take ten thousand years to find a single cultivator.

Despite the high difficulty, if one can master the skill, their combat power can be considered the best in their realm, and fighting against opponents of higher levels will be as easy as eating and drinking.

There are even historical examples of top-level Void Emperors who practiced this technique challenging the founder of the Ferryman Sect, although they died tragically afterward.

Ning Yunying's method of breaking through to the Void Emperor realm through cultivating the "Eternal Nirvana Technique" was also different from others.

She didn't need to painstakingly refine blessed lands; instead, she used herself as the source of the void. Her physical body and soul, forged through repeated self-reinvention and countless tribulations, and her will, born from enduring countless eons, were the best treasure trove of blessings within the human body, requiring no external aid.
