Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 471 312: Tao River (First Update)



The Ancient Mirror was floating and sinking in the chaotic void of the crack in the void, like a flat boat drifting with the ripples of water.

The violently raging Tao River had only leaked a sliver of its power, which could obliterate the Secret Realm; Su Jie was unable to look directly with the naked eye.

However, although the Ancient Mirror seemed to be swayed back and forth by the impacts while in the chaos of the Tao River, there was not a single trace of damage.

The thousand-hand centipede hid in Su Jie's robe, showing only its head.

It felt an instinctive fear of the Tao River. All living beings would fear the heavenly might of the Tao River, just as ordinary people fear the world-ending natural disasters, representing power that transcends life itself.

Han Ruyan, the Ghost Bride, also continuously retreated in the face of the rampant spread of the Tao River, as the power of an individual was truly minuscule compared to it.

Only the Ancient Mirror remained completely unaffected by the Tao River and during its floating, the mirror shone with a faint mysterious yellow light.

As this light shone, the chaos in the Tao River immediately calmed from its violent tumult, no longer possessing the ferocity of world-destroying cruelty; the disrupted Array Eye miraculously stabilized.

Witnessing this scene, both the thousand-hand centipede and Han Ruyan, a bug and a ghost, were shocked.

That was the Tao River! Yet it could be soothed by the Ancient Mirror.

Su Jie was not in the mood to be shocked because his Primordial Spirit was being guided by the Ancient Mirror.

Imperceptibly, Su Jie's Primordial Spirit was drawn into the Tao River in the void crack.

Su Jie had a flash of realization; he had a precedent. When he advanced to the Ten Levels of Yunling Realm back at Blue Star, his Primordial Spirit had entered the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star, roamed within it, absorbed a large amount of unknown material, and his Primordial Spirit was greatly nourished.

But that was the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star, much weaker in many aspects than that of the Tianyuan World here, if he were not careful, Su Jie's Primordial Spirit might not be able to come out.

"To touch the Tao directly without harm, is it truly an Innate Treasure?"

Su Jie took a deep breath. The origin of the Ancient Mirror was mysterious, but the opportunity was extremely rare. Missing this chance, who knew when the Ancient Mirror would offer such an opportunity to Su Jie again.

"Wait for me here, I'll be back shortly."

Without further hesitation, Su Jie followed the mysterious attraction, his Primordial Spirit left his physical body, and his chibi Primordial Spirit entered the Tao River on the Tianyuan World side of the void crack.

Boom!

The moment he entered, Su Jie nearly lost all perceptions.

A pitch-black blanketed the world, Su Jie's cognition became incredibly disarrayed, time and space were inverting, and his intelligence and Primordial Spirit were on the verge of annihilation in less than a few seconds.

In the past, when Su Jie had opened the Tao River with his Primordial Spirit, it was only to receive a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's essence. This direct contact with the Tao River was completely incomparable.

Death loomed in his heart, and then, at this moment, the Ancient Mirror whizzed up above Su Jie's Primordial Spirit.

The light emanating from its surface, like a protective light shield, stabilized Su Jie's rapidly disintegrating Primordial Spirit once again.

Su Jie's chaotic thoughts gradually returned, and perceptions slowly emerged within his Primordial Spirit.

Swipe!

Su Jie's Primordial Spirit opened its Divine Eyes, observing the Tao River of Tianyuan World, which is also the Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan World.

Amidst the pervasive chaotic currents, tiny rays of light flickered occasionally, like the breath of the cosmos or as though the eyes of the creator were peering through.

These colorful lights streaked through the chaotic Tao River, continuously changing into a myriad of colors, making the chaos less monotonously silent.

Su Jie struggled to open his eyes wide, focused on this rare opportunity to increase his knowledge.

If not for the Ancient Mirror, not to mention him in the Secret Realm, even someone in the Taoist Platform Realm would not have this kind of experience.

Among the chaos, Su Jie sensed everything here; material, space, time, cause and effect... all established rules of reality were disordered and chaotic here.

Su Jie broke off a finger from his own Primordial Spirit and cautiously threw it outside the coverage of the Ancient Mirror's mysterious yellow light.

The finger was composed of Divine Soul Power and should have dissipated as Soul Power once separated from Su Jie's Primordial Spirit.

But within the Heavenly Dao, the finger underwent an amazing transformation.

The finger flashed, mystically appearing thousands of meters away, constantly shifting positions at each moment.

At the same time, time on the finger was disordered, sometimes rapidly disintegrating, sometimes reversing back to its original state.

Infinite bizarre spiritual material attached to the finger, sometimes expanding to the thickness of a meter, sometimes collapsing to the thickness of a toothpick, sometimes turning into a sinewy, scale-covered demonic hand, and sometimes becoming stone, jade, or iron joints; it changed endlessly, no longer confined to the physical constructs of reality.

Even cause and effect, all things and life that came into contact with this finger, appeared like movie clips incessantly in the chaos, being captured as though countless lines of cause and effect were being plucked.

Fortunately, the area was limited to the Tao River; if it were the lines of cause and effect in the real world being manipulated this way, it's hard to imagine how many people's lives would have their trajectories altered.

The entire process lasted only a short dozen seconds, the finger of Su Jie's Primordial Spirit that he threw out was eventually annihilated by the Tao River, turning into nothingness.

No material could exist here for long, ordered material no longer existed here, it was the unordered chaos that was eternal.

Su Jie's finger from the real world was naturally an ordered product, so it too was turned into the chaos of nothingness.

"This is simply too terrifying."

Su Jie inhaled sharply as his Primordial Spirit roamed across the Tao River of Blue Star.

However, compared to the Tao of Tianyuan World, the Heavenly Dao of Blue Star was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon, utterly incomparable in its terror.

If it hadn't been for the protection of the Ancient Mirror, Su Jie's Primordial Spirit would have ventured here directly and likely would have turned into a wisp of chaotic void in mere seconds.

"Thank goodness for the Ancient Mirror."

Su Jie sighed in relief inside as he saw a multicolored beam of light pass in front of him.

Pop!

Under the protection of the Ancient Mirror, Su Jie controlled his Primordial Spirit to make contact with it.

Since Su Jie recognized this, in the Tao River on Blue Star, his Primordial Spirit had absorbed many such colorful spots, greatly enhancing his Primordial Spirit.

In the Tao River of the Tianyuan World, these light points are closely arranged, forming multicolored lines, bringing even greater gains.

The moment they touched, the multicolored light instantly merged into the Primordial Spirit.

Su Jie's recently severed finger visibly restored itself, a sensation thousands of times more exhilarating than taking opium spreading through every inch of his Primordial Spirit, causing his Primordial Spirit to shudder in delight and grow a few millimeters taller.

"Just as I expected, this thing indeed enhances the Primordial Spirit," he thought.

Su Jie's eyes sparkled, and he decisively controlled his Primordial Spirit to chase after those multicolored beams of light.

These were not easy to catch because everything within the chaotic airflows was disordered; sometimes the multicolored light would appear before you, and the next moment, it might have moved thousands of meters away.

Fortunately, there was plenty of such multicolored light, which was like the sand in the Tao River, possessing a special Spiritual Quality and Divinity, undiminished by the Tao River into chaos.

Seeing how difficult it was to capture the multicolored light, Su Jie changed his method, continuously stretching and extending his Primordial Spirit.

Initially a chibi-style Primordial Spirit, Su Jie controlled it, constantly stretching and thinning it, much like those flattened cartoon characters from animations, artificially enlarging his own area.

When Su Jie's Primordial Spirit expanded and stretched to the limit, spreading out to a few hundred square meters and extending thousands of thin Soul Power tentacles, he mimicked sea anemones hunting in the ocean.

When the multicolored light came close, Su Jie's tentacles would sway over.

The spiky protrusions on the tentacles delicately hooked the multicolored light, integrating it into his Primordial Spirit.

By turning his Primordial Spirit into a net, relying on the exceptional malleability of his Primordial Spirit, Su Jie was not slow in absorbing and consuming those multicolored lights.

Through constant consumption, Su Jie's Primordial Spirit continued to grow stronger, its size increasingly vast, and the number and area of controlled tentacles also increased, naturally catching more and more multicolored light, forming a positive feedback cycle.

Five minutes passed.

Half an hour passed.

An hour passed.

Su Jie's Primordial Spirit had grown to cover thousands of square meters, with tens of thousands of tentacles, and it emanated a terrifying and majestic aura.

From afar, he appeared like a demonic ruler placed in the chaotic void, incredibly eerie and bizarre.

In just one short hour, Su Jie's Primordial Spirit began to feel overstuffed, on the verge of tearing apart.

Just as a person eating too much in a short time can burst their stomach, the same principle applied to the Primordial Spirit.

Sensing the change in Su Jie, the halo of mysterious yellow light radiating from the Ancient Mirror above his head gradually dimmed, and the mirror drifted towards a crack in the void.

"Ah, even though I still want to eat, it seems I can't swallow anymore.""

Su Jie felt extremely regretful inside; he didn't know when he would next encounter such fortuity.

But since he could no longer take it, Su Jie dared not stay there without the protection of the Ancient Mirror; his Primordial Spirit would be annihilated into chaos within minutes.

Regretful as he was, Su Jie was quick to follow the Ancient Mirror out of the Tao River.

However, having reached the crack in the void, Su Jie's eyes narrowed slightly.

Previously occupied with consuming, he now noticed at the crack, there were strands of multicolored light, hundreds of them.

These multicolored lights, just like the ones Su Jie had devoured, were woven together resembling a bizarre Array Map, intricate as a constellation. When the chaotic airflows reached here, it was like entering a tube, gradually combed from a disordered state into a partially controllable one.

"So this is the secret of the Great Taoist Formation."

With understanding dawning in his mind, the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array, this Great Taoist Formation, connected the Tao River through the Array, harnessing the multicolored light, a spiritual material that wouldn't be destroyed, weaving it into an Array Map, thereby controlling the chaotic airflows of the Tao River and using them as a lethal weapon.

Because the Ancient Mirror stabilized the exit of the void crack, it prevented the aura of the Tao River from leaking out, and the Array Eye of the Hundred Rivers Covering Sea Array was not completely destroyed.

Upon seeing this, Su Jie instinctively wanted to destroy it.

Yet at the crucial moment, a bold idea suddenly emerged in Su Jie's mind.
