Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

Seeing that Su Jie agreed so readily, both Chiyang Tianzun and Xingyue Tianzun showed a hint of joy.

"You seem to really need me?"

Su Jie observed this scene. The fact that the other party was able to take the initiative to invite him and put aside their past hatred meant that they wanted to gain more benefits from Su Jie, and everything was based on Su Jie's own value.

"That's absolutely true!"

Chiyang Tianzun didn't deny it, since they would have to keep it a secret if they were to cooperate in the future anyway.

"The Kunlun Mirror, a magical treasure in your possession, can be of great help in finding immortal corpses."

The Celestial Venerable Xingyue explained that the Immortal Treasure Kunlun Mirror was not only powerful in combat, but also possessed the ability to travel.

Finding a celestial corpse in the vast universe is like finding a needle in a haystack, no matter how powerful a cultivator's divine sense is.

However, with the celestial treasure Kunlun Mirror, one can go anywhere in the universe. As long as a clue is found, the powerful mobility of the Kunlun Mirror might be used to quickly locate and find the traces of the immortal corpse.

This is also the most important reason why they were willing to put aside past grievances and take the initiative to invite Su Jie.

Su Jie understood immediately, and then asked, "Do you have any clues about the immortal corpse now?"

Since the destruction of the Immortal Corpse Graveyard, Su Jie has also explored the Tianyuan World, and there is no trace of the Immortal Corpses left.

"There is absolutely no trace of the immortal corpse. We are searching with all our might. Every additional person helps."

At this point, the Celestial Venerable Xingyue suddenly became serious and said, "However, if you want to find the immortal corpse, I know a secret technique that can locate people based on their blood. If you can provide some of the immortal blood you possess, perhaps I can."

"The immortal blood has been used up."

Before Xingyue Tianzun could finish speaking, Su Jie interrupted him without thinking.

What a joke! How dare they covet the immortal blood in his possession? He obtained it with great effort.

The importance of Immortal Blood is self-evident. Su Jie was able to advance to the Dao Transcending Realm so quickly entirely thanks to Immortal Blood. Moreover, Han Ruyan, Thousand-Handed Centipede, and Annual Wheel Worm will also need Immortal Blood to quickly improve their strength and even advance to the Dao Transcending Realm in the future.

Although Su Jie still had three hundred drops of immortal blood left, he still felt it wasn't enough, and there was absolutely no possibility of him giving it to Xingyue Tianzun.

Hearing Su Jie's resolute words, Xingyue Tianzun's pretty face showed some displeasure, and she said, "You have hundreds of drops of immortal blood in your hands, how could you use them up so quickly?"

“I said I was done using it, so what do you think is the reason I advanced to the Dao Transcending Realm so quickly?”
All of this comes at a price. The immortal blood has long been exhausted in the process. As for you, didn't you also steal the immortal blood? Use your immortal blood to perform the secret technique.

Su Jie lied through his teeth, and whether they believed him or not, Su Jie himself believed it.

"I only have a few drops of immortal blood, how dare you ask me to give them up?"

Star Moon Celestial Venerable gritted her teeth in anger. She didn't even have enough of her few drops of immortal blood, and Su Jie, this nouveau riche, actually had the nerve to say such things. Besides, even if she had extra immortal blood, she wouldn't use it to perform secret techniques.

She just said that in an attempt to trick Su Jie into giving her some immortal blood.

She does indeed possess the secret art of blood-seeking, but what she's looking for is a celestial corpse. How could she possibly have the ability to find traces of a celestial corpse from celestial blood? She doesn't even understand the structure of celestial blood at all.

Although her idea was good, and she intended to cheat as much as possible, Su Jie was completely uncooperative and refused to give her even a drop of immortal blood.

"Then there's nothing I can do!"

Su Jie shrugged, completely ignoring Xingyue Tianzun's wild ideas, and turned to Chiyang Tianzun, asking, "Since we're going to cooperate, I hope you'll be frank and open about what information you have about immortals. Where do immortals come from? Are they cultivated from humans, or are they born divine? Just how powerful are they?"

Having finally gotten a chance, Su Jie went straight to the point.

These Heavenly Venerables who have been searching for the 'path to immortality' in the long river of the Great Dao for countless years, and through generations of inheritance in the five holy lands, they have definitely mastered some information about 'immortals'.

At this point, Su Jie was completely clueless about immortals, so it would be good to learn more about them.

Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable frowned, while Star Moon Celestial Venerable remained silent. He wouldn't even give Su Jie a drop of immortal blood, yet he wanted to take advantage of the information she possessed. He had taken all the benefits.

"It seems the two of you are not sincere about cooperating! Fine, let's put the cooperation on hold for now. Anyway, with the Kunlun Mirror in hand, I am in the best position to find the immortal corpse."

Su Jie changed the subject. These veteran Dao-Crossing Venerables knew a lot, but they wanted to keep it from Su Jie, who had just been promoted to Dao-Crossing. Even if Su Jie cooperated, he didn't want to be confused.

The Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable and the Star Moon Celestial Venerable exchanged glances and remained silent for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, the Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable finally spoke up: "Alright, for the sake of cooperation, I can tell you clearly that the Immortal is the founder of the cultivation path in our Tianyuan World."

Long ago, our five sacred sites studied the broken stone slabs left by our ancestors, which recorded some events from the ancient times.

After further research and deciphering, we discovered that in the distant ancient times, immortals ruled over heaven and earth and the universe, traversing the long river of the Great Dao. They were the originators of the cultivation methods in the Tianyuan World today. Through continuous development and evolution by later generations, it has become the cultivation path we know today.

Historical records indicate that there were three immortals, who were respectively revered by the people at the time as the Heavenly Emperor, the Human Emperor, and the Earth Mother.

The Heavenly Emperor wields the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and the Chaos Banner. He resides atop Chaos Mountain, surveying the starry sea and awe-inspiring throughout the universe.

The Human Emperor, holding the Kunlun Mirror, is clearly recorded as having created the cultivation system of the Tianyuan Realm, allowing everyone in the world to cultivate.

The Earth Mother possesses the Reincarnation Gun, which controls the birth and death of all beings in the universe and is the final destination of death.

Immortals were also active in that era, and the Five Immortal Treasures were all weapons once possessed by immortals.

Later, it seems that a change occurred, and the records of the immortals suddenly disappeared from the river of history, with no further news of them, and later generations were unable to become immortals.

Even today, we continue the path of our predecessors, searching for traces of immortals, attempting to tread that broken path to immortality.

As the Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable spoke, Su Jie's expression changed slightly.

"Heavenly Emperor, Human Emperor, Earth Mother."

Su Jie muttered to himself. This was the first time he had ever heard such a secret. It was definitely news that was strictly sealed off in the Tianyuan World. It was probably only known to these few veteran Dao-Crossing Venerables.

Although Su Jie held a high position and controlled the entire Canggu Continent, he was kept in the dark and knew nothing about it.

Before this, Su Jie thought there was only one immortal, but it turns out there are three, and they seem to be divided into different factions.

"As for whether immortals are cultivated or born from nature, we have no idea. This is also something we want to know." The Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable paused slightly and then said, "The immortal corpse we saw in the Immortal's Tomb was probably the corpse of the Human Emperor."

According to fragmentary historical records, Tianyuan Realm was the sacred court of the Human Emperor, and the Thirty-Three Heavens was the Human Emperor's residence. All the humans of Tianyuan Realm could be considered his subjects and were revered as the Human Emperor by the world.

It would be most reasonable for him to be buried in the Tianyuan Realm after his death!

It was precisely because of the existence of the Human Emperor that he preached and taught in the Tianyuan Realm, saying that the path of cultivation is the path to immortality.

Only cultivators of our generation firmly believe that humans can also become immortals. This is not a dead end, but a bright path that can be followed.

All of us, the Celestial Venerables of the Crossing Path, are searching for this broken path to immortality, but we haven't yet found the right direction.

Chiyang Tianzun sighed, his expression complex, a mixture of regret and disappointment, as well as longing and yearning.

Whether it's those lowly cultivators in the Spirit Gathering Realm who constantly talk about becoming immortals or ancestors, or the Heavenly Venerables of the Crossing Dao who have begun to take action, becoming an immortal is like a haunting nightmare, the ultimate dream of all cultivators.

"The Human Emperor was buried in the Tianyuan World, how could he suddenly rise from the dead! And even attack me, the successor of the Human Emperor, this is really unacceptable!"

Su Jie muttered to himself, recalling his encounter at the Immortal's Tomb, especially the final experience of the immortal corpse's resurrection. If he had escaped slower back then, Su Jie would have been dead long ago, let alone advancing to the Dao Transcending Realm.

"The successor to the Human Emperor, you?"

Star Moon Celestial Venerable's lips twitched, shocked by Su Jie's shamelessness. The Human Emperor was the master of human cultivation in the Tianyuan Realm. How could Su Jie dare to call himself that? His skin was astonishingly thick.

"Why, it doesn't look like it?"

Su Jie raised an eyebrow and said righteously, "The Kunlun Mirror recognizes me as its master. The Human Emperor likes to educate the people and teach them the way of cultivation. This is exactly what I want. I am the perfect natural successor."

On Blue Star, Su Jie also taught the way of cultivation, which sparked a spiritual revival, allowing Blue Star humans to master extraordinary power through cultivation.

From this perspective, Su Jie's actions are indeed very similar to those of the Human Emperor. It's just that neither Star Moon Celestial Venerable nor Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable knew what Su Jie had done, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't have taken it seriously.

Su Jie merely pirated the cultivation system of the Tianyuan World onto Blue Star and smuggled spiritual energy there. If there were copyright fees and tariffs between worlds, Su Jie would have been heavily in debt and labeled as the most wanted criminal long ago.

"The matter of the Human Emperor's resurrection is indeed very strange. When humans die and become zombies, their bodies are transformed by the invasion of Yin energy. However, the number of immortal corpses is so great that a single drop of immortal blood contains terrifying life essence, capable of giving birth to a life system in a desolate world. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for any Yin energy to invade the immortal corpse, unless..."

As the Celestial Venerable Chiyang spoke, a hint of unease suddenly appeared on his face.

"Unless the Emperor did not die, but merely fell into a deep sleep."

Su Jie suddenly spoke up, recounting the speculation that the Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable hadn't finished saying.

"Impossible. If the Human Emperor were merely in a slumber, would we still be alive when we obtained his immortal blood?"

Star Moon Celestial Venerable shuddered; this was even more terrifying than the Human Emperor rising from the dead.

"Not necessarily. Since the Human Emperor taught the people and imparted the Great Dao of Cultivation in the ancient times, his nature should be relatively pure, just like me. He might not kill us for our offenses. Perhaps he is just taking this opportunity to pave the way for us to become immortals and open up opportunities for us to become immortals."

In my opinion, the Human Emperor is the immortal king with the greatest merit. He should be the strongest immortal and deserve our respect.

As the successor to the Human Emperor, I, Su Jie, will inherit his ideals and beliefs, retrace the path to immortality, fulfill his last wishes, and become invincible in this world.

Su Jie kept muttering to himself, leaving both Chi Yang Tian Zun and Xing Yue Tian Zun speechless.

"The Human Emperor cannot be called invincible."

Star Moon Celestial rolled her eyes and touched the Chaos Banner on her back, a weapon created by the Heavenly Emperor. She unfolded the Chaos Banner in front of Su Jie.

Wow!
The banners fluttered, the chaotic energy roared, and a blurry, tall figure, with a domineering aura that seemed to rule over all things in the world, the chaotic universe, and countless stars, appeared and disappeared. Even Su Jie, who was at the Transcending Dao Realm at this moment, felt an overwhelming sense of pressure just by looking at that aura with the naked eye.

I can't imagine how terrifying his presence would be if he were to appear in person.

"The image you are seeing should be the Heavenly Emperor from ancient legends. He is said to be the strongest of the three immortals, possessing three immortal treasures: the Chaos Banner, the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword. The Human Emperor and the Earth Mother are not as powerful as him."

Star Moon Celestial Venerable looked at the Heavenly Emperor's image on the banner and spoke slowly, her face full of pride, as if she could represent the Heavenly Emperor.

"Me too."

The Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron above the head of the Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable trembled, suppressing the flowing river of the Great Dao and turning it into a solidified river surface. On the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, which was ten feet in size, a figure vaguely appeared on the cauldron, carrying all living beings on his back, sitting cross-legged, surrounded by countless darkness in front of him, leaving behind a domineering silhouette.

"Does the Immortal-Slaying Sword also bear the image of the Heavenly Emperor?"

Su Jie suddenly asked a question, and Chi Yang Tianzun was taken aback for a moment, but still nodded slowly.

"That's right, the Immortal-Slaying Sword possesses the majestic aura of the Heavenly Emperor splitting the heavens and earth with a single sword strike!"

"That's it!"

Su Jie looked down at his Kunlun Mirror, but there was no reflection of the Human Emperor on it. He wondered if the Human Emperor was just more low-key or if the Heavenly Emperor was more fond of showing off. Su Jie thought the latter was more likely.

"This is all the information we have about the immortals, and we are now sharing it with you regarding our cooperation."

Chiyang Tianzun put away the Zhentian Cauldron, indicating that he had told everyone he knew.

Su Jie looked puzzled and said, "You five holy lands have existed for so many years, and this is all the information you have? You're not trying to fool me, are you?"

Star Moon Celestial Venerable snorted coldly and said with dissatisfaction, "We've said what we needed to say. Believe it or not is up to you."

Chiyang Tianzun smiled helplessly and said, "The ancient times are too far removed from the present. No matter how many records there are, they will be lost in history. Every war, famine, and chaos has led to the loss of historical materials. The ancient records that our five holy lands have collected and sorted out over the years are all we know about the three immortals."

If we knew more, we wouldn't be so clueless about the path to immortality; many would have already resumed that path and achieved immortal status.

"In that case, I can cooperate with you to search for the immortal corpse."

Su Jie nodded. Seeing that he couldn't extract any more information, he readily agreed. This cooperation was beneficial to both sides, and Su Jie saw no reason to refuse. (End of Chapter)
