Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

As he stepped into the spatial vortex, after a dizzying sensation, Su Jie found himself in a dense mountain forest.

The ancient, verdant trees stand hundreds of feet tall, resembling a green sea of ​​trees. A gentle breeze blows, and the canopies undulate like waves.

Looking up, the sky was like an oil painting, displaying bizarre and distorted colors.

Normally, with Su Jie's spiritual power, he could sweep across tens of millions of miles in an instant, as if observing the lines on the palm of his hand.

However, after arriving in this world, Su Jie's divine sense was greatly suppressed, and its strength was reduced to less than one ten-thousandth.

“Immortal power!”

Su Jie's lips moved slightly, and he vaguely felt an invisible pressure in the void.

Even a Dao-crossing cultivator couldn't suppress Su Jie's divine sense to such an extent. Clearly, it was the oppressive aura emanating from that immortal corpse that was suppressing everything in this world.

It is said that even after a tiger dies, its power remains. Even if an ordinary tiger dies, ordinary animals will not dare to approach it for a while, let alone a legendary immortal. This pressure does not distinguish between inside and outside. It suppresses not only the divine sense, but also the physical body and the spiritual power of the meridians. Even flying has become more difficult than in the outside world.

The Thousand-Handed Centipede and the Annual Rot Worm, having evolved by fusing with the genes of immortal blood, were most sensitive to the aura of immortals. At this moment, sensing this invisible pressure, they shrank into Su Jie's arms, only peeking out their little heads to look around.

"What a strong pressure!"

Han Ruyan's expression was solemn. Even though she was a ghost, this divine power still treated everyone equally, severely limiting her strength.

Su Jie took out the Kunlun Mirror. Since it arrived here, the few remaining cracks on the surface of the Kunlun Mirror have been slowly repaired.

It absorbs energy that Su Jie does not understand and repairs its own damage.

"what!"

Su Jie carefully examined it, then immersed his consciousness into the Kunlun Mirror, intending to check its condition.

As soon as his mind connected, Su Jie seemed to see a hazy white light, which he could not fathom or understand. It was as vast as the origin of the Great Dao, and did not belong to any known physical laws. Its energy rules and operating methods were completely beyond Su Jie's cognition.

Upon first contact, Su Jie felt his mind reeling, as if his soul was about to be obliterated by the white light.

Once Su Jie disconnected from the Kunlun Mirror, reality returned to normal, as if everything had been an illusion, except for Su Jie's slightly pale face.

The energy absorbed by the Kunlun Mirror was of such a high level that Su Jie would not have been able to observe it without its help.

"Could this be the energy controlled by immortals? Immortal energy, or immortal power?"

Su Jie was moved. The cultivator absorbed the spiritual energy and transformed it into spiritual power, which was stored in his dantian.

Dao cultivators can absorb chaotic energy, which is a higher level of energy.

It makes sense that immortals could control energy levels even higher than the chaotic energy flow.

Ning Yunying picked up a handful of soil from the ground, and five-colored light spread among the soil. She exclaimed in surprise, "Five Elements Spiritual Soil, it's all Five Elements Spiritual Soil!"

Su Jie couldn't help but show surprise upon hearing this.

When Su Jie was still in the Spirit Gathering Realm, he managed to grow the seeds of a ninth-grade sacred lotus by relying on a handful of Five Elements Spirit Soil. This shows how precious Five Elements Spirit Soil is. It is an extremely rare type of spiritual soil in the Tianyuan World, and it is worth more than a fortune.

In this unknown space, all the soil is composed of the five elements of spiritual soil.

Han Ruyan walked up to the trees and tapped them. The trunks and branches were as hard as steel, making them worthy of being called treasure trees. Their trunks did not need any refining to be as strong as magic weapons.

"As expected of an immortal, this burial ground is beyond our imagination."

Su Jie sighed. Ordinary wealthy families valued being buried in auspicious feng shui locations after death. If it was the burial ground of an emperor, they would pay even more attention to the dragon vein and dragon lair, accompanied by green mountains and great rivers, and based on gold, jade and precious materials. Ordinary poor people could not even imagine what kind of scene it was.

The burial ground of immortals was an unimaginably vast scene for Su Jie and his companions.

In this space, even a simple dig with a hoe can yield a massive amount of high-grade spirit stones when you go outside.

It's hard to imagine just how vast a fortune this endless expanse of burial grounds for immortal corpses truly represents.

Fortunately, Su Jie did not forget the purpose of his trip. Money was no match for Su Jie at this time; the only thing that could attract Su Jie was to become stronger.

If you are strong enough, wealth will naturally accumulate.

Having wealth without real power is nothing but a castle in the air.

Just as Su Jie was feeling sentimental, the Thousand-Handed Centipede in his arms suddenly let out an alert hiss, staring intently at an ancient tree in the forest.

There, a translucent, eight-legged insect-like creature lay on top.

It was only a little over ten feet in size, and its body was like green crystal. You could clearly see the blood vessels and internal organs inside its body. At this moment, it was slowly chewing the green leaves on the tree crown. With the opening and closing of its mouthparts, it easily chewed the leaves, which were as hard as magic weapons, into pulp and swallowed them into its stomach.

"This guy should be a vegetarian."

Before Ning Yunying could finish speaking, the soil beneath the large tree exploded, and a dark shadow flashed by. The green crystal worm had already fallen into a gaping maw, being chewed with a crunching sound, and crystal fragments fell to the ground.

This was a gecko-like creature, over ten meters long, with a body also composed of crystals. Its mouth was filled with fine, sharp teeth, which it used to bite off and swallow green crystal insects in a few bites. Its pair of scarlet eyes, like rubies, were fixed on the direction of Su Jie and the others. It leaped back and forth in the forest, quickly approaching.

"Hmm, this one is obviously a carnivore."

Ning Yunying shrugged helplessly when she saw Su Jie's gaze.

The gecko swooped in. Although it had never seen such a strange creature as a human, anything that could move and was smaller than it was on its menu.

Bang!
Su Jie rolled up his sleeves and personally took action, throwing a punch that slammed into the gecko creature's forehead.

Hey!
The gecko let out a mournful cry as most of its head was smashed open. Its body fell to the ground and writhed wildly, sending sand and stones flying all around.

Su Jie was somewhat surprised. Although his strength and cultivation were severely weakened by the suppression of the immortal power, and he hadn't gone all out just now, he had only managed to blow off half of the opponent's head. This was somewhat unexpected for Su Jie.

Taking two steps forward, Su Jie grabbed the gecko's long, narrow tail and squeezed it with a little force, causing the crystalline structure to crack; its hardness was somewhat beyond imagination.

Boom! Su Jie exerted force with both hands, tearing the gecko in half. Transparent blood, like engine oil, flowed out, and the gecko creature completely lost its life and stopped struggling.

He examined the gecko corpse in his hand. This crystalline corpse, if left out, would probably be a treasure coveted by weapon refiners and alchemists.

"Let's go take a look over there."

Su Jie tossed aside the corpse in his hand, pointed to a high mountain in the distance, and since the Kunlun Mirror was still slowly being repaired, Su Jie did not use this magical treasure to travel, choosing instead to go there himself.

Then, Su Jie began to explore this world.

Along the way, Su Jie encountered many strange and bizarre crystal creatures. Some ignored him, while others attacked him on sight, displaying extreme ferocity.

Some of these powerful crystalline creatures possess combat strength comparable to that of cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm outside.

However, these crystalline creatures failed to hinder Su Jie's progress. Even with his strength suppressed by the immortal power, Su Jie easily defeated them. Su Jie speculated that these crystalline creatures might be life forms born from the radiation of the immortal corpse.

Because these crystalline beings all possess a faint, almost imperceptible, aura of immortality.

This discovery gave Su Jie a direction to move forward: to head towards the region with the largest number of crystal creatures and the strongest individual beings.

Since the crystalline creatures are exposed to radiation from the immortal corpse, the closer they are to the immortal corpse, the more radiation they will be exposed to, and the more numerous and powerful the crystalline creatures will become.

With this in mind, Su Jie searched around the world.

………………

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye!
That night!

The campfire crackled and popped as Ning Yunying turned the roasting meat, letting the golden, oily meat release an enticing aroma that attracted even the Thousand-Handed Centipede to jump onto her.

"Eat it!"

Ning Yunying cut off pieces of roasted meat and fed them to the Thousand-Handed Centipede, which was the essence of a certain chaotic creature.

"Any progress?"

Han Ruyan leaned against a large tree, her black hair blowing in the wind, and asked Su Jie a question.

“I am researching it.”

Su Jie sat cross-legged on the ground with a map on his knees, which he had drawn himself.

In the past two days, Su Jie has traveled to many places in this world. He doesn't know if this place is the core of Tianyuan, a separately opened subspace, or a crevice in the Great Dao River. The area is much larger than Su Jie expected.

As a result, the map drawn by Su Jie, when compared to this world, cannot fully depict the entirety of the world, and has not yet found which area is the most densely populated with crystal creatures.

After looking at it for a while, Su Jie reluctantly put the map away and took out the Kunlun Mirror.

After two days of self-repair, the Kunlun Mirror absorbed the immortal energy that Su Jie could not perceive, and most of the cracks had been healed. The remaining cracks would heal in about a day.

"We'll be able to use the Kunlun Mirror in another day. With the Kunlun Mirror, we can travel quickly and draw a map in no time."

Su Jie said this because the suppression of the immortal power in this world makes traveling on foot or flying far less convenient.

"Let's eat something together?"

Ning Yunying then handed Su Jie a piece of golden-brown roasted meat.

Su Jie took the bite and then Ning Yunying leaned in, a faint, feminine fragrance wafting through the air.

“I have an idea. When we search for the immortal corpse, do you think we could make a big commotion to attract the attention of those crystal creatures? I’ve observed that those crystal creatures also have a sense of territory. If the commotion is big enough, the most powerful crystal creatures might take the initiative to attack. Then we can follow them and trace back to their lair, which might be the burial place of the immortal corpse we’re looking for.”

Ning Yunying glanced at the Kunlun Mirror in Su Jie's hand and made a suggestion.

Su Jie was taken aback and looked at Ning Yunying, asking, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I just thought of it."

Ning Yunying rolled her eyes.

"Alright, if we find the immortal corpse, you'll be credited with the greatest contribution."

Su Jie smiled, thinking about how to make it bigger, when suddenly his eardrums vibrated slightly.

Rumble!
In the far distance, bolts of lightning tore through the sky, turning a thousand miles of airspace into a blinding sea of ​​lightning. In the center of this sea of ​​lightning, a figure could be vaguely seen holding a long spear, as if he wanted to pierce through the heavens and the sky.

"That's... the Reincarnation Gun!"

Su Jie sensed that somewhat familiar aura, his eyes narrowed, and a cold glint appeared in them.

"The Dao-Crossing Ancestor of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, the Netherworld Profound Heavenly Venerable!"

Ning Yunying's eyes were solemn as she revealed the person's identity. The Samsara Spear belonged to the Dao-Crossing Ancestor of the Heavenly Evolution Holy Land, and his presence here spoke volumes about his identity.

"Heh, sister-in-law, it seems someone has already used your plan before you could."

Su Jie patted his bottom and sat up, his eyes fixed on the sea of ​​lightning.

"Can a Dao True Spirit enter the Heavenly Origin World?"

Han Ruyan was somewhat confused, feeling that the power before her was somewhat mismatched with that of the Dao-Crossing Ancestor!

"No, that was a body used for crossing over to the Dao. A wisp of the true spirit split off and merged into this physical body."

Su Jie spoke up to explain, having seen through the true nature of this Netherworld Celestial Venerable.

"With the appearance of the Netherworld Celestial Venerable here, it's likely that the other four Dao-Crossing Ancestors have also entered this world, which means we have many more competitors."

Ning Yunying knew the power of the Dao Ancestor. Even if he was just a physical body, he could sweep away the Void Emperor. Not to mention that the other party also had the Immortal Treasure Reincarnation Spear in hand. The competitive pressure suddenly increased.

These Daoist masters must also be after the immortal corpse. With them causing trouble, the difficulty of obtaining the immortal corpse has skyrocketed.

"The pressure is indeed considerable, but having come this far, there's no room for giving up, especially since it's just a shell that's here."

Su Jie's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and a cold smile played on his lips.

Su Jie didn't recognize the appearance of the Netherworld Celestial Venerable, but he recognized the Reincarnation Spear.

Back in the past timeline of Blue Star, the other party appeared as Su Jie's mother and tried to kill him when he was still an infant in swaddling clothes. Su Jie has never forgotten this incident.

"Husband, when shall we make our move?"

Han Ruyan asked bluntly. She knew Su Jie's temperament, but seeing Su Jie like this, she knew he was plotting against Mingxuan Tianzun. As his wife, she naturally chose to work together, since this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

"No rush. Let's see what kind of crystalline creature he can lure out. If there's an advantage, we might as well take advantage of the situation. If things don't go well, then let's wait and see."

Su Jie did not act rashly. Although what appeared here was just a physical body, even with the Reincarnation Spear, Su Jie was confident that he could take it down.

However, Su Jie was unaware of the whereabouts of the other Dao-Crossing Ancestors. If he rashly made a move and attracted the other Dao-Crossing Ancestors to appear, he would most likely be ganged up on and beaten.

Su Jie was well aware of what he had done. Not to mention the grudges between the Nine Heavens Holy Land and the Myriad Tribulations Holy Land, he had also extorted money from other holy lands.

When these patriarchs of the holy lands see him, they will definitely put aside their prejudices and gang up on Su Jie first. Su Jie is aware of this.
