Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

"The Primordial Immortal Tree, the Primordial Immortal Qi, and the Three Great Immortals."

Su Jie's eyes shone brightly, his heart feeling as if a boulder had been thrown into it, creating ripples of emotion.

When a cultivator reaches the Transcending Dao Realm, it is the end of their cultivation journey. Ahead of them, there is no path forward except for the legendary immortals.

From ancient times to the present, countless Daoist celestial beings have been blocked by the insurmountable barrier to becoming immortals, and in the end, they can only die of old age with resentment. Even if a Daoist cultivator has a lifespan of millions of years, as long as he is not immortal, he cannot resist the erosion of time and will eventually die of old age.

The dream of becoming an immortal has become a nightmare for generations of cultivators, and the ultimate pursuit that all cultivators yearn for.

Now, the veil of mystery surrounding immortality, which has haunted countless cultivators, is finally being lifted for him.

"The key to becoming an immortal lies in the Primordial Immortal Qi, which allows one to comprehend the myriad paths of chaos."

Su Jie pondered in his heart that after the death of the Primordial Immortal Tree, most of the Primordial Immortal Qi transformed into the Great Dao River of today, while the remaining Primordial Immortal Qi allowed the Heavenly Emperor, the Human Emperor, and the Earth Mother to cultivate and become immortals.

Finally, the remaining trunk of the Primordial Immortal Tree was refined into five immortal treasures.

Su Jie had no idea what form the Primordial Immortal Qi actually took.

Although Su Jie possessed the Kunlun Mirror, he couldn't sense any Primordial Immortal Qi from it, nor could he extract it from the Great Dao River. He lacked even the ability to perceive it, let alone search for or extract it.

“Is there any Primordial Immortal Qi in Luo Tian Palace? The Heavenly Emperor obtained the largest section of the Primordial Immortal Tree and refined it into three great immortal treasures. They might possess Primordial Immortal Qi. I need to look for it.”

Su Jie had a headache. Although he understood the secret to becoming an immortal, without the crucial substance for immortality, everything would be just empty talk.

Left with no other option, Su Jie could only hope to gain something within the Luo Tian Palace.

Given the Heavenly Emperor's domineering and pretentious nature, Su Jie thought that the Heavenly Emperor might still possess some primordial immortal energy.

Next, Su Jie began to ransack the Luo Tian Palace, digging every inch of the ground.

Finding nothing inside the Golden Palace, Su Jie left to continue his exploration.

For three days in a row, Su Jie traveled to many places and collected a lot of precious spiritual materials and weapons, but he couldn't find a trace of the Primordial Immortal Qi that he was really looking for.

Boom!

Suddenly, on this day, Su Jie, who was exploring inside the Luo Tian Palace, heard a thunderclap in the clear sky. When he looked up, he saw that the sky was covered with thick, world-destroying tribulation clouds, and chaotic tribulation lightning was flashing and shuttling in the dark clouds.

This was the first time such a situation had occurred in the past few days. Su Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he began to hurry in that direction.

When Su Jie arrived near the Calamity Cloud, not only him, but also the other four Heavenly Venerables of the Crossing Dao had arrived here, clearly attracted by the commotion.

Directly below the tribulation clouds was a towering, suspended stone peak, its steep cliffs resembling a giant sword. Tribulation lightning rained down relentlessly upon it, causing fragments of rock to shatter and fall.

On the summit of the suspended stone peak, a figure sat cross-legged, his long black hair swaying wildly in the wind, his eyes closed, his body motionless, seemingly already dead.

No, or rather, this is a corpse.

"Human Emperor!"

The moment Su Jie saw the figure, he recognized it as the corpse of the Human Emperor. It was in pursuit of the figure that Su Jie came to Luo Tian Palace.

"Is he really going to turn into a zombie? He's even attracted the tribulation lightning."

Star Moon Celestial Venerable looked worried and subconsciously took a few steps closer to Su Jie. If the Human Emperor really had a problem and started a massacre, Su Jie, with the Kunlun Mirror, would be the easiest person to escape.

Su Jie glanced at Xingyue Tianzun and asked with a smile, "Everyone, have you made any progress these past few days? If you have any information, please share it with each other."

"Sigh, what bad luck. We've excavated quite a few ruins these past few days, but all we've found are piles of scrap metal. We haven't gotten any truly valuable information."

When Xingyue Tianzun mentioned this topic, he sighed repeatedly. Everyone came here to become immortals. Apart from becoming immortals, nothing else, except for celestial treasures, could move these Dao-Crossing Celestial Venerables who stood at the pinnacle of cultivation.

"We were just as unlucky; we should have split up."

Guiyuan Tianzun also looked regretful, indicating that he, Chiyang Tianzun, and Lingxiao Tianzun had all gained nothing.

"Su Jie, what about you?"

Chiyang Tianzun glanced at Su Jie.

"Like you, it seems this trip to Luo Tian Palace was in vain."

Su Jie put his hands down, looking utterly frustrated.

As they were talking, the corpse of the Human Emperor in the distance suddenly stirred.

The endless stream of tribulation lightning seemed to be connected to the Great Dao River, tearing apart the void and releasing chaotic energy.

Unlike the chaotic energy Su Jie had seen before, this wisp of chaotic energy was pale purple, seemingly formed from the origin of the Great Dao, like the purest energy between heaven and earth, encompassing the universe, the foundation of the Great Dao, and the fundamental laws of all things in chaos.

The Human Emperor, sitting cross-legged at the center of the torn sky, was constantly being absorbed by the surging purple chaotic energy and integrated into his body.

From afar, Su Jie merely gazed at the wisps of purple chaotic energy, and his true spirit trembled faintly. In the darkness, Su Jie's true spirit had a kind of understanding that once he merged and absorbed it, he could unite with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and every move he made would generate a connection between heaven and man, transcending the mortal spirit, comprehending the myriad paths of chaos, and achieving the true immortal Dao fruit.

Primordial immortal energy, this is definitely primordial immortal energy.

Upon seeing these wisps of purple, chaotic energy, Su Jie instantly understood everything, and his heart pounded with excitement.

The primordial immortal energy that he had painstakingly sought was crucial to his path to immortality, and it was drawn out of the Great Dao River by the Human Emperor.

Whoosh!
Beside Su Jie, Xingyue Tianzun suddenly moved, quickly approaching the corpse of the Human Emperor, and used the Chaos Banner to wrap a wisp of the outer Primordial Immortal Qi.

Although the Human Emperor was absorbing and integrating the Primordial Immortal Qi, he remained motionless, and a few strands of the Primordial Immortal Qi always dissipated to the outside.

Bang! Just as the Chaos Banner was unfurled, a sword light descended instantly, blocking the banner. The next moment, the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron descended, successfully drawing the wisp of primordial immortal energy into its body.

"You bastard, this is the Primordial Immortal Qi that I set my sights on first. How dare you try to take it from me?"

Star Moon Celestial Venerable's chest heaved with anger, his eyebrows furrowed, and he glared furiously at Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable and Returning Origin Celestial Venerable.

It was these two people who thwarted her plans.

"The primordial energy belongs to the virtuous. Since you lack virtue, it will naturally not recognize you as its master."

The Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable revealed a smug smile, his gaze greedily fixed on the primordial immortal energy within the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron.

The next second, the Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable felt a sharp pain in his head and his vision went black.

Behind him, a portal to the void flashed, and Su Jie stepped out, clutching the Kunlun Mirror. He then used the Kunlun Mirror as a brick, smashing it hard against the back of the Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable's head. At the same time, Su Jie reached out his large hand, grabbing for the Primordial Immortal Qi within the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron.

"you dare!"

"stop!"

Guiyuan Tianzun and Lingxiao Tianzun were furious and immediately stepped in to stop him, engaging Su Jie in a fierce battle.

On the other side, the Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable snapped out of his daze and stared warily at the Star Moon Celestial Venerable, who was holding the Chaos Banner and preparing to strike him hard. He shouted, "There's more than just this wisp of Primordial Immortal Qi here. What are you staring at me for? Why don't you take it yourselves!"

Star Moon Celestial Venerable said fiercely, "I'm beating up you bunch of bandits. You always like to steal my things. Those Primordial Immortal Qi are approaching the Human Emperor's Immortal Corpse. If you dare to get close, why don't you go yourself?"

Because the Primordial Immortal Qi was stolen, Star Moon Celestial Venerable cursed, revealing his inner rage.

You know, she was robbed of the immortal blood last time she obtained it, and now that it's happening again, even a clay figure has some temper.

Su Jie also stopped fighting and said in a low voice, "Gentlemen, didn't you say that Luo Tian Palace's intelligence gathering yielded nothing? How come you know about the Primordial Immortal Qi? You were just patting your chests and making promises, but now you're very eager to seize it."

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Sun Celestial Venerable touched the back of his head, which had been cracked from being hit by Su Jie, and said angrily, "Xingyuan, how dare you talk to us like that? You yourself have been keeping quiet all along, knowing all along that the information about the Primordial Immortal Qi was not mentioned at all, and only resorting to sneak attacks and underhanded tactics. How despicable."

Su Jie was speechless and couldn't refute it, since he hadn't told the truth either.

We are all competitors in essence. It concerns the secrets of becoming an immortal, so who would tell others in a big way?

At this moment, Su Jie could only curse inwardly, knowing all along that the Heavenly Emperor liked to show off.

It now seems that the Heavenly Emperor definitely left behind many relics similar to the Golden Palace and Jade Wall, to show off his great achievements, which has led to everyone now knowing the importance of the Primordial Immortal Qi, the key to becoming an immortal.

"Xingyuan, let's join forces."

Star Moon Celestial Venerable stared coldly at Chi Yang and the others. The three of them were clearly in cahoots. Fighting them one-on-one would be too disadvantageous, and they couldn't compete with the Primordial Immortal Qi.

"Can!"

Su Jie nodded, and the Kunlun Mirror slowly rotated in mid-air, pointing at Chi Yang, Gui Yuan, and Ling Xiao.

"You think I'm afraid of you?!"

Chiyang Tianzun had the Zhentian Ding hanging above his head, and Guiyuan Tianzun's Zhanxian Sword was emitting sword light. Only Lingxiao Tianzun was empty-handed, and his power was far inferior to the two.

At this moment, another wisp of primordial immortal energy dissipated to the outer perimeter. Without any further words, the five of them moved simultaneously.

The power of the four immortal treasures—Kunlun Mirror, Immortal-Slaying Sword, Chaos Banner, and Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron—shattered the heavens and the earth, and their spiritual radiance illuminated all directions.

Everyone was afraid of disturbing the Immortal Corpse of the Human Emperor, so they deliberately kept the battle range to a minimum and did not dare to go too far into the vicinity of the Immortal Corpse of the Human Emperor. However, the aftershocks of the battle still caused a huge tremor in Luo Tian Palace.

As the strongest person present, Su Jie had the upper hand in this competition.

Although Chi Yang and his group consisted of three people, one more than Su Jie, Lingxiao Tianzun lacked a celestial treasure, making his combat power a level lower and posing no threat to Su Jie whatsoever.

Unfortunately, Lingxiao Tianzun had a grudge against Su Jie and was Su Jie's first target.

During the fight, Su Jie suddenly launched a fierce attack, slamming Lingxiao Tianzun towards the direction of the Human Emperor Immortal Corpse with a punch. He wanted to use Lingxiao Tianzun's true spirit to test the Human Emperor Immortal Corpse's bottom line. If there was no danger, he could get closer and obtain more Primordial Immortal Qi.

By the time Lingxiao Tianzun realized Su Jie's sinister intentions, it was already too late.

Just a thousand miles from the corpse of the Human Emperor, in the area where the tribulation lightning surged, countless bolts of chaotic heavenly lightning suddenly struck down. If it were just ordinary chaotic heavenly lightning, it might not be able to harm the true spirit, but these chaotic heavenly lightning bolts were all wrapped with primordial immortal energy.

After being struck by just a few bolts of chaotic heavenly lightning, Lingxiao Heavenly Venerable's true spirit collapsed by more than half, melting away like ice and snow. The whole process was astonishingly fast.

"help me!"

The Heavenly Venerable Lingxiao was so frightened that he immediately called for help.

Chi Yang and Gui Yuan immediately stopped fighting. After all, Ling Xiao was their teammate, and if he died, it would be even more disadvantageous for them. They could only temporarily put aside their struggle for the Primordial Immortal Qi and use the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron to quickly rescue Ling Xiao Tianzun.

As a result, their immortal treasure was struck by several bolts of chaotic heavenly lightning, and suffered a backlash that also caused considerable damage.

But compared to Lingxiao Tianzun, this is nothing. His true spirit body has mostly collapsed and melted. If he delays for a few more seconds, he will perish completely.

Su Jie felt a chill run down his spine. Although he had witnessed the Heavenly Emperor slaughtering Void Realm and Transcendent Realm cultivators like ants in the jade tablet's imagery, seeing this scene in person was still incredibly impactful. Although there was only one layer between immortals and Transcendent Realm cultivators, their combat power was worlds apart.

Shocked by the danger posed by the Immortal Corpse of the Human Emperor, Su Jie did not stop. While Chi Yang and Gui Yuan were rescuing people, Su Jie successfully absorbed the second wisp of Primordial Immortal Qi.

"Having more people is useless; a waste is a waste."

Su Jie chuckled, looking at Lingxiao Tianzun with a smug expression.

Lingxiao Tianzun's face was ashen, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Chi Yang and Gui Yuan looked at Ling Xiao with some dissatisfaction. If Ling Xiao hadn't been a hindrance, how could Su Jie have so easily snatched away this wisp of primordial immortal energy?

"I don't have any magical treasures."

Faced with his teammates' doubts, Lingxiao Tianzun's face turned red. The dignified Dudao Tianzun was the weakest among them today, becoming the weakest point of attack.

"Xingyuan, make your move! More Primordial Immortal Qi is emerging."

The Celestial Venerable of Star and Moon shouted again, and once more primordial immortal energy dissipated.

In the following period, Su Jie and Xingyue joined forces to confront Chi Yang, Gui Yuan, and Ling Xiao, engaging in fierce battles for the Primordial Immortal Qi.

Primordial Immortal Qi is related to becoming an immortal, so naturally the more the better, and no one would complain about having too much.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen strands of primordial immortal energy were snatched up by the crowd. Su Jie got the most, obtaining a total of 5 strands, while the others each had 3-4 strands. Even Lingxiao Tianzun was lucky enough to pick up a strand.

Although everyone tried their best to control the scope and aftermath of the battle, the primordial immortal energy was simply too attractive. Unbeknownst to them, the intensity of their battle continued to rise, and the affected area became wider and wider.

With the strength of a Celestial Venerable of Crossing the Dao, destroying a star system is nothing to him. Even if the Luo Tian Palace is a million miles in diameter, it is not enough to cause trouble for Su Jie and the other Celestial Venerables of Crossing the Dao.

Crack! When Guiyuan Tianzun was once again blasted away by Su Jie using the Kunlun Mirror, he crashed into the depths of Luotian Palace, causing a massive earthquake in the surrounding area. The already crumbling ruins collapsed in large areas.

This time, it seemed to trigger some kind of stress response. From the depths of Luo Tian Palace, an incomparably domineering aura soared into the sky, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

At the same time, the Emperor's immortal corpse opened its eyes, which had been closed at some point. As the lightning bolts that had been striking down in rapid succession opened its eyes, the heavenly tribulation instantly collapsed, and the dark clouds vanished. (End of Chapter)
