Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Tianyuan World, Yaoguang Sea!
A portal to the void flashed, and Su Jie and his group appeared there.

This is the sea area where the immortal corpse appeared earlier. You can still see the rising mountain ranges that vaguely form a human face.

"This place is called Yao Guang Sea. Every midnight, the seawater emits a cool, ethereal glow, and it is rich in various cold-type spiritual plants."

Ning Yunying, with her extensive knowledge, easily explained the origin of this sea area.

Su Jie landed on the top of a mountain range that rose from the sea. It was clearly formed by the uplift of the seabed, and there were many shellfish, kelp and corals hanging on the rocks. It looked like a masterpiece of nature. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, most outsiders would think it was formed by geological activity and wouldn't think of it as the wrath of the heavens.

"Xiaoqian, go and take a look in the sea."

Su Jie said softly, and the Thousand-Handed Centipede transformed into a ten-meter-long creature, carrying Su Jie as it plunged into the sea and swam towards the deep sea.

In fact, with Su Jie's power, he could easily evaporate all the seawater in this Yao Guang Sea area if he wanted to, but because he was worried about attracting the attention of the Heavenly Dao, Su Jie did not dare to be too flamboyant and tried to be as cautious as possible in his actions.

Soon, the Thousand-Handed Centipede carried Su Jie to the seabed area.

The waters of Yaoguang are not very deep, and sunlight can penetrate them. Looking around, apart from the towering mountains, there is nothing unusual about the sea surface. Even the marine life lives peacefully here and swims freely.

"Xiao Qian, can you smell the aura of an immortal?"

Su Jie patted the head of the Thousand-Handed Centipede, and even the annual worm crawled out from Su Jie's sleeve.

The Thousand-Handed Centipede and the Rotworm absorbed the Immortal Blood Gene and were more sensitive to the aura of immortals than Su Jie, so Su Jie used them as hunting dogs.

The projection of a celestial corpse once appeared here, perhaps leaving behind some clues, which is what Su Jie needs to find.

Zizi!

The Thousand-Handed Centipede swam quickly through the Yao Guang Sea, and soon finished exploring it, but found nothing, and became dejected.

"Eee-yah!" The rotifer suddenly cried out as it passed through a stretch of sea.

"Hmm, did you find anything?"

Su Jie's face lit up with joy as he picked up the geranium.

The rotifer looked left and right, swaying its plump, short body as it drifted in the seawater, swimming in a certain direction.

A carnivorous fish saw a rotifer, mistook it for a delicious meal, and charged at it, opening its mouth wide to swallow the rotifer whole.

However, as the carnivorous fish approached the rotifer, its body aged rapidly, and by the time it reached the rotifer, only a rotten skeleton remained.

"Xiaoqian, keep up."

Su Jie knew that the annual rotifer must have discovered something, and the Thousand-Handed Centipede responded and followed behind the annual rotifer.

A few minutes later, the rotifer suddenly stopped on a sandy patch of seabed.

The seabed here is covered with a thick layer of sand, and is home to a variety of crustacean marine life.

The rotifer circled in place a few times, indicating that this was the area.

Seeing this, the Thousand-Handed Centipede didn't even need Su Jie's instructions. Its pale, corpse-like hands moved rapidly, digging deeper and deeper into the seabed. In an instant, the seawater became murky, and large chunks of rock and sand were dug out.

Soon after, a pit several thousand meters deep was dug out, and the Thousand-Handed Centipede suddenly stopped moving.

Because within the deep pit, a twisted vortex was exposed.

The vortex was dark purple, with lightning flashing within it from time to time, giving it an eerie feel, and its destination was unknown.

It was precisely because this vortex existed for so long and was stained with the marks of time that it was detected by the rotifers and discovered from the deep soil.

"Well done."

Su Jie stroked the slender, fleshy body of the rotifer, a smile spreading across his face. He then drifted with the current to the whirlpool and began to observe it closely.

"A teleportation array?"

Su Jie muttered to himself. His Kunlun Mirror had the ability to travel through time and space. Su Jie was an authority in this field and quickly figured out how the vortex worked.

Moreover, Su Jie predicted that this vortex might lead to the burial place of the immortal corpse.

Even if Su Jie's judgment is wrong and the vortex takes him to some unknown place, Su Jie is not worried about getting lost. With the Kunlun Mirror in hand, Su Jie can travel through time and space and leave at any time.

"Looks like we've found the place."

Things went more smoothly than expected. Su Jie swam back to the surface and intended to call Han Ruyan and Ning Yunying over, but he saw the two women confronting someone.

It was observed that some Void Emperors from the five great holy lands had also found their way here. The commotion caused by the Heavenly Dao's golden vertical pupils was too great, and Su Jie was not the only one who noticed the anomaly here. The existence of the immortal corpse was captivating and had enough appeal.

"Ning Yunying, you traitor, today I will clean house."

The Great Emperor of All Laws roared in anger and was engaged in a fierce battle with Ning Yunying.

Since Su Jie had been missing for several days, he believed that Su Jie had robbed many corpses of chaotic creatures and had some kind of plan. He was not in the Tianyuan World at the moment, which was why he was so murderous when he saw Ning Yunying.

"Just you?"

Ning Yunying's expression was indifferent. The Myriad Dragon Pearl spun rapidly, imbuing her fists and feet with the power of ten thousand dragons, which could shake the sky for thousands of miles with every move.

As the two sides clashed, Emperor Wanfa originally thought he could quickly defeat Ning Yunying, at least that's how it was in the last battle, where he had the upper hand.

However, in the actual battle, the situation was completely different from what the Emperor of Ten Thousand Laws had expected; on the contrary, he was the one being suppressed.

Ning Yunying cultivates the "Ten Thousand Tribulations Nirvana Technique." As long as she doesn't die, she will become stronger after each battle, enhancing her cultivation through tribulations.

Furthermore, the Great Emperor of Ten Thousand Laws is currently lacking a weapon. His top-tier Dao Treasure, the Yin-Yang Dao Bell, was destroyed by Su Jie, and Ning Yunying has completely mastered the Myriad Dragon Pearl, unleashing its full power. Therefore, when fighting Ning Yunying, he not only failed to defeat her, but was also gradually suppressed by her.

Just as the fierce battle was raging, Su Jie suddenly flew out of the sea.

The arrival of the five great holy lands from the four directions was like a bucket of cold water being poured over the heads of those eager Void Emperors, causing their expressions to change drastically.

Having been tortured and robbed by Su Jie countless times, how could they not be terrified when they saw this ruthless star appear?

"Why is this guy back! Wasn't he supposed to be refining those chaotic creature corpses?"

A group of Void Realm Emperors twitched at the corners of their eyes, suffering from the aftereffects of being robbed by Su Jie. When they saw Su Jie, their subconscious thought was to run away.

They had many chaotic creature corpses stolen by Su Jie. Although they didn't know what Su Jie intended to do with them, they all assumed that Su Jie had gone to use those chaotic creature corpses and wouldn't be back for a while because they hadn't seen him for several days. Who would have thought they would run into him here?

"It's quite lively here. Are you all here to deliver chaotic creatures to me?"

Su Jie wore a smile as he glanced at the assembled Void Emperors, a dozen or so of whom were gathered there.

Whether it was Emperor Qianji of Tianyan Holy Land, Emperor Xuhai of Jiuxiao Holy Land, Emperor Zhuri of Yanggong Holy Land, or Emperor Shenxing of Shenji Holy Land, all these top emperors retreated one after another, and the fear in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

Not to mention the Emperor of Ten Thousand Laws, who was fighting, turned and fled without thinking the moment he saw Su Jie.

But his escape speed was far slower than Su Jie's attack. He had only just turned around when Su Jie appeared in front of him, his large hand gripping the top of his head.

This time, there was no body to protect him.

Bang!
The head of the Emperor of Ten Thousand Laws exploded. A top-level emperor of the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Calamities couldn't even last a single round against Su Jie.

“I will count to three, and those who remain here will suffer the same fate as this man.”

Su Jie's smile vanished, his voice turning cold. He tossed out the headless corpse of the Myriad Laws Emperor and looked towards the Nine Heavens Holy Land and the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, sending chills down the spines of the Void Sea Emperor and the Qianji Emperor. These Void Realm Emperors had come for the immortal corpse, but Su Jie intended to seize the place. They wanted to curse Su Jie's tyranny in their hearts, but when they actually faced him, they couldn't utter a single defiant word, let alone dare to utter any threats to his face. They turned and fled without looking back.

"Alright, the problem is solved."

Su Jie clapped his hands and said to Han Ruyan and Ning Yunying, "Come with me, we've found a clue to the burial site of the immortal corpse."

"So fast!"

Ning Yunying was somewhat surprised by Su Jie's efficiency.

"go!"

Han Ruyan followed in Su Jie's footsteps and arrived at the bottom of the sea, where she saw the whirlpool.

Su Jie, skilled and daring, did not hesitate and took the lead into the vortex. The others followed suit and soon entered the vortex one by one.

Ning Yunying, who entered last, made some concealment, covering the deep pit she had dug with rocks and sand to minimize the time it would take for her to be discovered.

The other side!
The group of Void Emperors who had been driven away by Su Jie were extremely aggrieved and cursed repeatedly.

"Damn it, Su Jie is far too arrogant!"

"That's a celestial corpse, are we just going to watch Su Jie act recklessly?"

"Su Jie is nothing but a bandit and robber. If the ancestors were here, Su Jie wouldn't have a chance to be so arrogant."

These emperors harbored deep resentment towards Su Jie. As Void Emperors, they were always high and mighty, but after meeting Su Jie, they were bullied in every way, and their imperial prestige was completely ruined.

The Void Sea Emperor of the Nine Heavens Holy Land was also cursing, but suddenly seemed to sense something and rushed towards the Emerald Sea where the Holy Land was located.

Upon returning to the Emerald Sea, he quickly summoned his disciples and held a grand ceremony.

Half a day later, the Emerald Sea began to boil, stirring up a raging storm. A figure emerged from the sea, and the once turbulent sea automatically parted to create a calm surface.

"Welcome back, Master!"

The Great Emperor of the Void Sea was overjoyed, and tens of thousands of disciples from the Holy Land shouted in unison, their eyes filled with longing as they gazed at the figure.

The man who emerged from the sea wore a feathered crown and a long blue robe. He walked on the sea, and an invisible aura of leisurely ease made the sea within a radius of thousands of miles freeze.

He was Ling Xiao, the Dao-Crossing Ancestor of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Millions of years ago, he was revered as the Heavenly Emperor of Lingxiao, wielding the divine punishment of the heavens and earth and wielding the divine might of heaven and earth, which made his peers' talents feel suffocated.

“I am aware of the matter. You all guard the mountain gate well. I will go and retrieve the celestial treasure, the Kunlun Mirror.”

Ling Xiao remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on the Yao Guang Sea. He had only revived the physical body that remained in the Holy Land. However, with the ebb and flow of the chaotic tides, a wisp of his intelligence was able to separate and enter, allowing him to remotely control the physical body.

As for the True Spirit, the True Spirit that truly represents the strength of a Daoist cultivator is still within the Great Dao River of the Outer Heavens.

Chaos Lords cannot enter the Tianyuan World, and the same is true for Dao Transcending cultivators who are on par with Chaos Lords. Unless they can break through the Heavenly Dao's blockade of the Tianyuan World, they can only use tricks to allow their physical bodies to walk in the world.

Even so, Ling Xiao was confident in retrieving the Kunlun Mirror, after all, the difference between the Dao Crossing Realm and the Void Realm was obvious.

Ling Xiaoren left behind only one sentence before disappearing without a trace.

"Haha, the patriarch has returned. Let's see how arrogant you, Su Jie, are this time."

The Great Emperor of the Void Sea was filled with excitement, gritting his teeth, as if he could already see the Kunlun Mirror returning and Su Jie being trampled underfoot by the Ancestor.

Such a scene is not unique to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

In the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, a domineering man wielding the Reincarnation Spear and wearing purple phosphorescent armor soared into the sky, his fighting spirit seemingly capable of piercing through the heavens.

In the Holy Land of Myriad Calamities, Gui Yuanzi wielded the Immortal-Slaying Sword, cleaving the heavens with a single strike, his sword intent stretching across ten thousand miles.

As the chaotic energy increases in concentration within the Tianyuan World, cultivators at the Dao Transcending Realm, while unable to enter with their true spirits, can still control the physical bodies left behind from the past.

Yaoguang Sea Area!

Five figures appeared one after another: Guiyuan Heavenly Venerable from the Myriad Tribulations Holy Land, Lingxiao Heavenly Venerable from the Nine Heavens Holy Land, Mingxuan Heavenly Venerable from the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, Chiyang Heavenly Venerable from the Yang Palace Holy Land, and Xingyue Heavenly Venerable from the Divine Mechanism Holy Land.

The term "Celestial Venerable" is an honorific title for a Taoist practitioner.

The four men and one woman at the moment represent the strongest forces of the five holy lands. All of them are cultivators who have crossed over to the Dao. The youngest among them has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, while the oldest has lived for more than two million years, which is equivalent to the time it took for upright apes to evolve into modern humans.

"A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The immortal corpse has reappeared, and this time, there are no more obstacles."

Wearing an ancient-style long robe, with empty eyes and the Immortal-Slaying Sword hanging at his waist, Guiyuan Tianzun slowly spoke.

"We must thank Tianwu for finding the trace of this immortal corpse; otherwise, we would still be like headless flies in the Great Dao River, desperately searching for the elusive traces of other immortals."

Clad in phoenix feather robes, surrounded by chaotic energy, and carrying a chaotic banner on her back, the graceful Star Moon Celestial Venerable chuckled softly.

The location of the immortal corpse is usually impossible to find, but this time, because the Heavenly Dao has exposed it, it is a rare opportunity.

"Don't mention that person, it's bad luck."

Holding the Reincarnation Spear, the Netherworld Celestial Venerable snorted coldly. A thousand years ago, the Heavenly Martial Emperor, who was still in the Void Realm, somehow stumbled upon the immortal corpse of the Heavenly Origin World and obtained a section of the immortal finger, which allowed him to break through to the Transcendent Realm.

Back then, there was no Chaos Tide, so cultivators who had crossed over to the Dao could not enter the Tianyuan World at all and could not do anything. Later, they finally found an opportunity, and the three Heavenly Venerables, Lingxiao, Mingxuan, and Chiyang, joined forces to give the Heavenly Martial Emperor a hard time.

Unfortunately, the spatial vortex representing the immortal corpse had long since changed position and had not been exposed for many years.

"This time I'm going to retrieve the Kunlun Mirror. I'll take care of that junior named Su Jie."

Ling Xiao's voice was cold, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

First Tianwu, then Su Jie, both of them seized the Kunlun Mirror, the supreme treasure of their Nine Heavens Holy Land, and flaunted it outside. This time, he was determined to take it back and return the Kunlun Mirror to its rightful owner.

"Heh, the Kunlun Mirror doesn't have your name on it. Whoever gets it gets it."

Wearing a golden robe and with the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron hanging above his head, the Crimson Sun Emperor, who resembled a god, showed no respect whatsoever.

Ling Xiao's lips twitched, and his face darkened. Among the five holy lands' Dao-Crossing Celestial Venerables, whoever didn't have a Celestial Treasure was embarrassed. It was all because he had run into that thief, Emperor Tianwu. He had lent his Celestial Treasure to Emperor Dongxu of the holy land to condense the Great Dao Divine Patterns, but Emperor Tianwu stole it, and it was now in Su Jie's hands.

"Are you going to oppose me, Chiyang?"

Ling Xiao glanced over coldly. The Heavenly Venerables were not all harmonious; they also had their own rifts and conflicts.

"Without the Kunlun Mirror, do you think you can defeat me?"

Chi Yang revealed a mocking smile. The combat power of the Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao with immortal treasures and the Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao without immortal treasures is not on the same level.

"Enough with the nonsense! I'm going to take that kid named Su Jie's life."

With a thrust of his spear, the Heavenly Venerable Mingxuan pierced through the seabed, revealing a spacetime vortex. He had not forgotten Su Jie; if the past timeline could not be resolved, then he would kill him again in the present world.

"I will offer human heads as a sacrifice to the holy land."

Guiyuan Tianzun's expression was icy. Su Jie's actions towards the Myriad Tribulations Holy Land had made him determined to kill Su Jie.

It can be said that the five Heavenly Venerables all harbored murderous intent towards Su Jie, after all, the things Su Jie did to the five holy lands were even more heinous than those done by the Heavenly Martial Emperor.

At least Emperor Tianwu didn't openly rob, swindle, or cheat, causing the major holy lands to lose face. This humiliation must be redeemed.
