Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

At a certain point along the Great River, a palace built of white jade floated silently in the chaotic air currents.

"Ling Xiao, it seems it wasn't you!"

At this moment, inside the palace, Guiyuan Tianzun's eyes were somewhat strange as he looked at Lingxiao Tianzun who was walking towards him.

Previously, a Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao had fallen in the Great Dao River. He felt that Ling Xiao might be the one who had fallen, since the other party did not possess any immortal treasures.

"Hmph, you're dead but I'm not."

Lingxiao Tianzun snorted coldly. This white jade palace floating in the river of the Great Dao was built by the Tianzun together and was also their agreed gathering place. Because of the fall of a Tianzun, they all gathered here spontaneously, and Guiyuan Tianzun was the first to arrive.

"I heard you stole immortal blood from Xingyue?"

Guiyuan Tianzun asked, "Have you heard that Xingyue was furious about this and chased Lingxiao Tianzun all the way with the Chaos Banner?"

"That crazy woman!"

Lingxiao Heavenly Venerable's lips twitched. It was true that he had initially snatched the immortal blood from Xingyue Heavenly Venerable, but later Xingyue relentlessly pursued him, and since the other party also had the Chaos Banner, he was no match for him in a head-on confrontation. In the end, he could only reluctantly return most of the stolen immortal blood to Xingyue Heavenly Venerable, keeping only a few drops for himself.

"Don't talk about me, what about you and Chiyang?"

Lingxiao Tianzun changed the subject. The battle between Guiyuan Tianzun and Chiyang became even more intense. The aftershocks of the clash between the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron shook the Great Dao River. He had felt it long ago.

"Some were given to that brute Chiyang."

Guiyuan looked somewhat displeased. That bastard Chiyang had been harassing him. The two had fought for three days and three nights in the Great Dao River without a clear winner. Chiyang seemed determined to fight to the death, so Guiyuan had no choice but to give Chiyang some immortal blood in exchange for a handshake and a reconciliation.

Just then, someone else appeared. A beautiful young woman suddenly appeared in the white jade palace; it was none other than the Star Moon Celestial Venerable.

"It wasn't you who died."

Xingyue's first words upon appearing were filled with malice as she stared at Lingxiao. The hatred she felt for him for stealing her immortal blood was not so easily dispelled.

Ling Xiao knew he was in the wrong, and since he was no match for this woman, he kept a cold face and remained silent.

"Now only Chi Yang and Ming Xuan are left, and I think it's most likely them."

Before Guiyuan could finish speaking, another person flew in from the sky. This person was tall and had the Zhentian Cauldron hanging on his head. He was none other than Chiyang Tianzun.

Looks like I'm the last one!

Chi Yang spoke in a deep, muffled voice, his gaze sweeping over the three people present.

At this moment, within the Jade Palace of the Great Dao River, the four Heavenly Venerables of Crossing the Dao—Guiyuan, Xingyue, Chiyang, and Lingxiao—gathered together.

"Mingxuan has fallen."

When the four met, Mingxuan was missing. Combined with the previously missing section of the Great Dao River, the situation was self-evident: Mingxuan, the Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao, had perished.

"Who killed him?"

As Guiyuan Tianzun asked this question, the image of an arrogant and domineering young man flashed through his mind. Could it be him?
"Could it be that we've encountered a Chaos Lord?"

Lingxiao Heavenly Venerable asked. Although the Heavenly Venerables of Crossing the Dao did not have any relationship with each other, the death of Mingxuan, whom they had known for millions of years, still surprised them to some extent.

"Not likely. Although Mingxuan lost the Samsara Spear, it wouldn't be easy for the Chaos Lord to kill him. If he was truly outmatched, he could run away. The fact that the enemy could kill Mingxuan shows that the enemy was extremely powerful."

Xingyue shook her head. The Chaos Lord's combat power was comparable to that of the Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao, but defeating and killing were not the same thing. Even for them, the hope of killing Mingxuan without any immortal treasures was extremely slim.

"Stop guessing. I know Mingxuan's personality best. He will never let the loss of the Samsara Spear go unpunished. He will go to get it back as soon as possible."

Chi Yang slowly opened his mouth and said in a firm voice, "I'm sure you all have a general idea of ​​who it is. It's that guy named Su Jie. He's the murderer who killed Ming Xuan. He's the most likely one."

Guiyuan Tianzun and Xingyue Tianzun nodded. They had also thought of this conjecture, but they were somewhat unwilling to admit it.

"How is that possible? With him?"

Lingxiao Tianzun looked incredulous. Although he was the Dao-Crossing Tianzun of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, he had never dealt with Su Jie before. The only time they met, he was instantly killed by the chaotic tsunami caused by the resurrection of the immortal corpse. He had no idea about Su Jie's combat strength.

However, the other three were different. Whether it was Chi Yang, Xing Yue, or Gui Yuan, all three of them had fought against Su Jie in the Immortal's Tomb and knew how powerful Su Jie was.

Especially Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable, who had fought Su Jie the longest, knew that Su Jie had already reached the pinnacle of the Void Emperor realm. Upon hearing this, he spoke up to explain:

"Nothing is impossible. Su Jie is a remarkable person of our time. His strength stands at the pinnacle of the Void Emperor realm, and he himself has embarked on the path of refining the divine runes of the Great Dao."

Furthermore, he obtained immortal blood in the Immortal's Tomb, which allowed the opponent to transform his true spirit and break through to the Dao Crossing Realm. He also possesses two divine weapons, the Kunlun Mirror and the Reincarnation Spear. If the unarmed Ming Xuan were to encounter him, his fate would be unimaginable.

After these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

They were well aware of the power of immortal blood, and they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Su Jie for the large amount of immortal blood he had obtained. They had no doubt that he could quickly advance to the Dao Transcending stage by relying on immortal blood.

Not to mention that Su Jie also possesses two immortal treasures, which will bring an incredibly terrifying boost to his combat power.

Ling Xiao's face darkened. He was also unarmed. If the murderer was indeed Su Jie, then Su Jie's ability to kill Ming Xuan meant that Su Jie was also capable of killing him. After all, he didn't have any immortal treasures, while Su Jie had two.

"This person is extremely hateful and must not be let off the hook."

Lingxiao Tianzun roared, his eyes blazing as he looked at the other three: "This person is our greatest threat. Why don't we join forces and eliminate this scourge?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in that."

Chi Yang refused without hesitation. He knew very well how difficult Su Jie was to deal with. The other party was only at the Void Realm and could fight him to a standstill with his Crossing Dao Body. If he advanced to the Crossing Dao Realm, that would be unimaginable. Moreover, the other party also had two immortal treasures.

"If you want to take back the Kunlun Mirror, then go and do it yourself. I won't be your pawn."

Xingyue rolled her eyes, and her words exposed Lingxiao's little scheme. Since the time of Emperor Tianwu, the Kunlun Mirror had been lost for thousands of years and they had wanted to retrieve it at all times. But asking her to do something for Lingxiao Tianzun was out of the question.

"Su Jie has hundreds of drops of immortal blood in his hands."

Gui Yuan casually remarked, and everyone present was instantly moved. However, considering Su Jie's ability to kill Ming Xuan, no one dared to speak up. Even if they could defeat Su Jie, the other party might be able to take down a Dao-crossing cultivator before he died.

Chi Yang glanced at Gui Yuan and said, "Compared to Su Jie, I am now more concerned about that resurrected immortal corpse. The path to immortality may lie on this immortal corpse. It's a pity that after the Immortal's Tomb collapsed, there was no trace of that immortal corpse. I don't know where it went."

Chi Yang's tone was full of regret. Compared to immortal blood, a resurrected immortal corpse was more representative of the word "becoming an immortal." "Whether that immortal corpse is resurrected or has become a zombie is still unknown. If we can get our hands on this immortal corpse, we might be able to glimpse the mysteries of the path to immortality."

Guiyuan's eyes were also filled with greed; perhaps the secret to the path to immortality lay within that immortal corpse.

"If you encounter a resurrected immortal corpse, you should run as far away as possible."

Xingyue said coldly, "These people have really forgotten how terrifying that resurrected immortal corpse was, haven't they?"

The topic of their discussion gradually veered off course. As for the death of Ming Xuan, the deceased Du Dao Tian Zun was no longer worth caring about. They were not friends with Ming Xuan, and no one would really risk their lives to seek revenge for him by going to Su Jie's place.

Moon!

Han Ruyan stood in the void, her blood-red wedding dress fluttering in the wind, and she looked out into the void from time to time.

Su Jie and Ming Xuan fought in the River of Great Dao, and a full hour had passed, but there was still no sign of Su Jie. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Her opponent was a Dao-Crossing cultivator, and she had personally experienced the power of Dao-Crossing cultivators before. She really had no idea whether Su Jie could contend with Ming Xuan. If she could participate in a battle at this level, she would not have chosen to wait here idly.

Zizi!

The Thousand-Handed Centipede also made some uneasy sounds. It lay in Su Jie's physical body, which was the physical shell that Su Jie's soul had left in reality after leaving his body, and which the Thousand-Handed Centipede had brought back.

“That guy won’t act recklessly unless he’s confident; he’s not the kind of person who’s willing to die for his cause.”

Ning Yunying then said that Su Jie has two immortal treasures in his possession, so even if he is defeated, he will not perish.

"As soon as I got back, I heard people talking badly about me."

However, just as Ning Yunying finished speaking, a voice suddenly rang out in the void.

The next moment, the Great Dao River split open, and a radiant white figure appeared before everyone—it was Su Jie, whose true spirit had returned.

Han Ruyan and Ning Yunying were both dumbfounded when they saw Su Jie in this state. This radiant white figure had no physical form, but it looked exactly like Su Jie.

call out!
Without hesitation, the Thousand-Handed Centipede pounced into Su Jie's arms, nuzzling him like a kitten, its antennae swaying and making cheerful buzzing sounds.

Su Jie, holding the Thousand-Handed Centipede, looked at Han Ruyan with a smile: "What's wrong, my wife? Don't you recognize your husband?"

Han Ruyan floated down from the sky, both surprised and delighted, and said, "Husband, is this... a true spirit?"

Han Ruyan had seen Ming Xuan before, and this was what Ming Xuan's complete true spirit looked like. Now that Su Jie had also transformed into a white light figure, didn't that mean...?
"It's just a spiritual phenomenon; it's no problem for me."

Su Jie touched Han Ruyan's cheek, then shifted his gaze to Ning Yunying, smiling as he said, "Sister-in-law, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Ning Yunying was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening. She rolled her eyes at Su Jie, but still said, "Congratulations, Heavenly Venerable Su, on achieving the ultimate realm of the Dao Crossing Realm!"

She had previously said that she would change how she addressed Su Jie when he returned, and unexpectedly, Su Jie actually did it. Even with the Immortal Blood in hand, his speed of advancing to the Dao Transcending Cultivator realm was astonishing.

"My lord, has Mingxuan been defeated?"

When Han Ruyan asked about the important matter, seeing that Su Jie had returned unharmed and had even successfully transformed into a true spirit, she guessed that Su Jie had most likely won this battle.

Su Jie chuckled and said, "Of course, my soul has transformed into a true spirit. How could that old guy possibly beat me? But Ming Xuan did escape. I don't like letting a tiger return to the mountain!"

Han Ruyan suddenly realized something, her bright eyes widened, and her small mouth opened slightly as she said, "Could it be that my husband has completely killed Ming Xuan?"

"The Celestial Venerable has fallen?"

Ning Yunying was also terrified. She thought the same as Han Ruyan, believing that Su Jie had only repelled Ming Xuan and had not connected it to the killing.

"He dared to bully my woman and Xiaoqian. He has already committed suicide, so naturally we cannot let him live."

Su Jie spoke, and Xiao Qian in his arms excitedly rubbed against Su Jie. It had wanted to bite the guy who had beaten it so badly that it bled profusely for a long time, but it was no match for him.

"Your woman?"

Ning Yunying blushed at first. She had also been injured in the previous battle, and this guy was talking so recklessly.

But the next moment, Ning Yunying realized: "Dead, the Netherworld Celestial Venerable is dead?"

Ning Yunying was utterly shocked. Su Jie had actually killed Ming Xuan, annihilating a genuine Dao-Crossing Heavenly Venerable.

It should be noted that the youngest of the five Celestial Venerables is hundreds of thousands of years old, and they represent the limit of cultivation in the Tianyuan World.

Ning Yunying grew up listening to the stories of these Heavenly Venerables of Crossing the Dao. Their names have remained famous for hundreds of thousands of years, making it difficult for people to associate them with death or fall.

"You're making a fuss over nothing. It's no big deal to kill a mere Netherworld Celestial Venerable. I've cultivated so diligently for so long, reaching the Dao Crossing Realm, all to accomplish what no one before me could. The Five Holy Lands have ruled the Tianyuan World for countless years; it's time they moved their thrones and let me, Su Jie, sit on them."

Su Jie showed no modesty and acted as if he didn't care at all.

With his 100% Dao Divine Pattern Transformation into a True Spirit, plus the Kunlun Mirror and the Reincarnation Spear, if he still couldn't kill Ming Xuan, wouldn't that mean he was too useless? Apart from living longer than him, Su Jie really didn't take Ming Xuan seriously.

Ning Yunying was at a loss for words. Su Jie was only in his thirties or forties at the moment, and he had the nerve to say that he had worked hard to cultivate for a long time. If other cultivators who had wasted their entire lives and lingered in the Spirit Gathering Realm heard this, she wondered what they would think.

However, geniuses are always so unreasonable. Just like Ning Yunying, isn't she also a genius in the eyes of others, an insurmountable goal?

"My husband, are you invincible now?"

Han Ruyan looked at Su Jie with tender eyes. When she first met Su Jie, he was just a minor cultivator in the Spirit Gathering Realm. Now, more than ten years have passed, Su Jie has become a Heavenly Venerable of Crossing the Dao, and she has become the Ghost King of Yinxu. She couldn't help but sigh at how things had changed.

"Below the immortals, I am invincible."

Su Jie laughed loudly, his domineering and arrogant demeanor befitting his status.

Han Ruyan smiled, and Ning Yunying was deeply moved.

The centipede let out an excited cry, and even the annual worms crowded around Su Jie. Following Su Jie meant food, drink, and safety; it was determined to cling to this powerful figure.
