Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don t Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 342: Chapter 240: Ten Levels of Yunling Realm (Three updates of 10,000 words, asking for monthly passes!)

“Demons in Southeast Asia are on the Move: Ji State Becomes Their Snack, Which Region Will Be Dissected Next?”

“Beware of Jieke Group’s Aggressive Actions, the World is Being Persecuted, the World Needs Us, and Boundaries Must Be Respected.”

“The scale of Illegal Slaughter, Including the Inhumane Phenomena Found in the Jibang Region of Chan Country, is Shocking.”

Sensational headlines appeared in the news.

Western media continued to slander the Jieke Group, describing their occupation of Ji State with various terms like illegal, aggressive, and challenging order.

In contrast, Maozi and Hua Country held a much fairer stance.

However, the intense media war abroad couldn’t prevent the Jieke Group from proceeding with their military actions.

After all, the weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism by weapons.

After conquering Jinlao Mountain and taking fifty thousand elite Chan Country Soldiers as prisoners, the liberated forces of the Jieke Group began entering city after city within Ji State.

Faced with the formidable advance of the Jieke army, these cities surrendered at the first sign of trouble.

Even the government and alliance forces of Chan Country and Japan, who were defeated in battle, had died or surrendered, let alone some city policemen and firefighters; how could they resist the fierce Jieke Group?

Very smoothly, the Jieke Group took over the rule of Ji State and incorporated it into their territory.

With an area of 75,000 square kilometers, a population reaching nine million, and the largest oil and gas fields within Chan Country, as well as abundant mineral resources, Ji State is dotted with all kinds of factories due to these advantageous natural resources.

The economic output here accounts for about 30% of Chan Country’s economy.

It can be said that Ji State’s departure is akin to a major artery being severed for the Chan Country Government.

And after the Jieke Group swallowed Ji State, their strength undoubtedly surged rapidly, expanding their territory to 150,000 square kilometers and breaking the ten million population mark, totaling twelve million people.

Especially since Ji State is an industrial region, the war potential of the Jieke Group increased in a way no other territory could replace.

Not only was the Chan Country Government anxious, but Japan and the Beautiful Country in the Eight Nation Group were even more in a panic.

Why does the Jieke Group grow stronger with each battle, with their territory and war potential becoming increasingly terrifying?

As a result, the Eight Nation Group further increased their assistance to the Chan Country Government.

The more than twenty thousand Japanese elite soldiers were ordered to enter the region bordering Ji State.@@novelbin@@

This region of Ji State is one of the rare plains in Chan Country, and its outskirts are covered with high mountains and dense forests, a headache for the Japanese Soldiers entering the area.

If not for the help and guidance of the Chan Country Government Army, the non-combat losses would be untold.

With the Chan Country Government Army suffering a major defeat at Jinlao Mountain and Jiwei City, their forces were weakened. Now, they only surrounded Ji State, not daring to act rashly again, waiting for more military aid to arrive before launching an offensive.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of this time, the Jieke Group was busy digesting the newly acquired territory of Ji State, as time quietly passed during both sides’ preparations for battle.

………

In Mande City, at the Fumen Breeding Farm, underground poisonous insect cultivation base.

In the brightly lit underground environment, Su Jie sat cross-legged on an empty space, surrounded by a massive amount of Spirit Stones and Blood Marrow Crystals.

Like a tidal breath that was continuously brewing within Su Jie’s body, countless Spirit Stones and Blood Marrow Crystals were vaporizing Spiritual Energy. This abundant Spiritual Energy was ceaselessly converging into Su Jie’s body, aiding his transformation.

The breath inside his body climbed more and more, like a volcano on the brink of eruption. Above his head, luminescent light diffused, encircling Su Jie’s body like a splendid galaxy carrying surging waves of Spiritual Power.

Gradually, the luminescent light turned into wisps of clouds. These clouds were made of Spiritual Power.

Su Jie’s Spiritual Energy had turned to a liquid state when he advanced to the Sixth Level of Yunling Realm, and now it had gone a step further, reaching the level of external gas state, and these clouds were the gaseous Spiritual Energy of Su Jie.

The transformation from liquid Spiritual Energy to external gaseous Spiritual Energy was the hallmark of advancing from the Yunling Realm Ninth Level to Ten Levels.

It also represented that the Disciple of this realm had grasped the threefold changes of Spiritual Energy, achieving the completion of Yunling Realm.

Boom, boom, boom!

The clouds of Spiritual Energy turned from white to black, accompanied by thunderous rumbling, and bolts of Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder flashed like silver snakes in the void.

Su Jie’s Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder operated autonomously, and his Divine Soul also slowly elevated and transformed.

The strength of the flesh always nourishes the Soul. Those who focus solely on one may encounter hidden dangers.

Cultivation of both the Soul and the body is the right choice for most Cultivators.

Crack!

Suddenly, the clouds around Su Jie parted, and above his Soul, a crystal-clear portal emanating a faint blue light formed, the luminescent galaxy transformed into a crystalline gateway.

Su Jie felt a sense of change in his heart, sensing that the Ancient Mirror was trembling slightly.

This blue light portal opened slowly, and through it, one could vaguely see a brilliant sea of light, countless colorful photons twinkling like stars in the quiet night, radiating a captivating glow.

“Ancient Mirror!”

Su Jie was greatly shaken by the sudden change of the Ancient Mirror, and it left him somewhat perplexed. In the past, the Ancient Mirror had only provided passage between two worlds. The second change occurred when his Divine Soul achieved the Primordial Spirit, and it turned into a phantom to merge into his Soul.

This was the third transformation of the Ancient Mirror. Su Jie sensed that within that blue portal, there was an extraordinarily enticing aroma that called out to him. Unlike any material fragrance he had known, it seemed to possess the power to purify the soul and usher an unprecedented sense of tranquility.

“Could this be the legendary Sea of Heaven?”

Su Jie felt a vague sense of familiarity and a bold idea surfaced in his heart.

However, this Sea of Heaven was completely different from the Heavenly Dao he had encountered in the Tianyuan World before.

In the presence of that Heavenly Dao, Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit was but a benthic microbe in the vast ocean. In comparison to the Heavenly Dao there, his Primordial Spirit was like contrasting the vast sea to a droplet of water, utterly insignificant.

Even if his Primordial Spirit was within it, he could only borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao for a mere few seconds; if he overstayed, his entire Primordial Spirit would be obliterated, soul scattered and extinguished.

But inside the blue portal opened by the Ancient Mirror, Su Jie felt the familiar Heavenly Dao, yet the oppression it gave was entirely different.

“So this is the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star.”

Feeling the different intensity of that Heavenly Dao, Su Jie instantly understood.

This was definitely the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star, or perhaps, the Heavenly Dao of this part of the Solar System.

The Heavenly Dao was not solely derived from Spiritual Energy; it was more like a set of rules or a will, akin to the turning of the sun and moon, the change of seasons.

The Heavenly Dao was also a rule but sat atop natural laws, a macroscopic existence that was unfathomable.

Spiritual Energy was a form of energy, and although indeed miraculous, Blue Star too had energy, so it was not surprising for a Heavenly Dao to emerge from it.

With this realization, Su Jie was greatly shaken. He closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and his Primordial Spirit slowly approached the blue portal.

With just an approach, as Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit touched the colorful photons inside, he felt a deafening thunderclap explode within his Divine Soul, and both his body and soul underwent an unspeakable purification and elevation.

Simultaneously, Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit directly entered the portal, akin to a fish swimming freely within the Sea of Heaven, basking in immense comfort and pleasure.

It was unknown whether it was because Su Jie originated from Blue Star that this Heavenly Dao recognized him more, or because the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star was not as overbearing and powerful as that of Tianyuan World, allowing his Divine Soul to swim freely within.

In comparison, while Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit was merely a microbe in the face of Tianyuan World’s Heavenly Dao, here in the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star, his Primordial Spirit evolved to that of a little fish – at least able to move freely without being expelled in mere seconds.

Pop!

Suddenly, Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit touched one of the colorful photons.

The photon instantly merged with Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit, a sensation a million times more refreshing than eating ice cream on a hot day. Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit grew in size as if it had consumed ten pounds of tonic pills, expanding both in height and width.

Originally resembling an infant in form, his Primordial Spirit had now grown a minuscule 0.1 millimeters.

It seemed insignificant, yet it signified the strengthening of the Primordial Spirit, and this was just from absorbing a single tiny colorful photon.

Right then, Su Jie’s eyes shone with excitement, his heart pounding with exuberance. Even though he had no clue what these photons were, he knew that he was set on devouring them that day.

Gurgle, gurgle.

Swiftly, Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit swam through the Sea of Heaven, chasing and devouring those colorful photons.

The dazzling light spots moved erratically without pattern, and they zoomed around swiftly, instinctively evading when approached.

Far from discouraged, Su Jie put his all into chasing and consuming those photons, with his Primordial Spirit growing ever taller and larger, and his swimming speed increasing, allowing him to eat even more photons.

One minute passed!

Ten minutes passed!

An hour passed!

Su Jie was like the snake in that game of snake, chasing after the light spots in the Sea of Heaven, and as he devoured them, his body continually grew longer.

In just an hour’s time, Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit had grown to a height of one meter, doubling its size from before.

It was known that the next evolution of the Primordial Spirit was for it to gradually grow from an infant form to a full-fledged adult, perfectly unifying with the physical body.

That realm of Divine Soul is called God Unification, signifying the unity of spirit and flesh, with the Primordial Spirit corresponding one-to-one with the body. It was a domain only accessible at the Taoist Platform Realm.

Through Su Jie’s frenzied devouring, his Primordial Spirit had swelled to this extent in no time, bringing him immense joy as the Primordial Spirit now had full facial features and limbs, capable of a wide range of expressions.

Boom!

Just as Su Jie was reveling in his delight, the blue portal seemed to reach its closing time, and the void around the portal started to distort, as if about to be utterly torn apart by this force.

“That’s quick!”

Su Jie felt extremely regretful internally, though he had not had his fill yet, once the portal closed, his Primordial Spirit would be trapped permanently in the Sea of Heaven.

Without daring to delay, Su Jie swiftly maneuvered his Primordial Spirit back out of the blue portal.

Accompanied by an even louder roar, the portal closed completely, with all the flowing light and colorful photons vanishing.

Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit returned to his physical body, and he slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the now-closed portal and the Ancient Mirror quieting down in his mind, he grew increasingly curious about the origin of this Ancient Mirror.

It could actually manipulate the Heavenly Dao on Blue Star’s side, opening a portal to the Sea of Heaven, letting him sneak in for a feast.
