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

As Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid was selling hot across the world, Fumen Breeding Farm, Underground Poisonous Insects Cultivation Base.

A golden-lined viper several meters in length screamed in agony as a horrifying figure pinned it to the ground, unable to escape its fate as prey despite its struggles.

Accompanied by the sound of chewing, this powerful poisonous insect capable of easily wiping out a human elite squad vanished inside a gaping maw.

Under the bright light illuminating the underground space, the assailant's form gradually became visible.

Like a train in its immense size, with pale arms thicker than human thighs protruding from both sides of its body, its head set with bony cheeks embedded in flesh, from which cracks emitted a scintillating purple fluorescence, giving off a scorching heat.

Its eyes, characteristic of an insect, displayed a cold ruthlessness; its smooth, glossy insect shell was stained with various insect blood and flesh from its killings, mixed with the scent of death from the consumed creatures.

Its appearance brought immense terror to this underground space, the somber and menacing atmosphere silencing all smaller life forms, which hid in their nests, shivering.

The massacre continued, the Thousand-Handed Centipede's segmented body twisted, each segment as heavy as metal, yet moving with incredible speed uncharacteristic of its massive form.

As it advanced at an unbelievable speed, the segments rubbed against each other, sounding like countless bone joints knocking against a death knell, echoing a loud "clang."

Su Jie stood in another open space, his gaze directed at the ceiling.

There, tens of thousands of human-faced moths hung from the ceiling, densely packed like honeycombs, turning it a grayish-white.

At the core of the human-faced moths, as many as a hundred had evolved into low-grade poisonous insects.

Among them, even three human-faced moths, five meters in length, had remarkably evolved into mid-grade poisonous insects.

For a colony-dwelling social poisonous insect like the human-faced moth, undergoing Spirit Refining transformation was difficult, limited by genetic constraints, with only a few being capable of evolution.

These three mid-grade human-faced moths were the ones that evolved the fastest and most fiercely in the past two months, fed by a vast amount of Blue Star Poison Insects.

Of course, although they were mid-grade poisonous insects, because they had not undergone Spirit Refining, they were not at all comparable to the Mid Grade Four Refinements Thousand-Handed Centipede; the two were not on the same level.

"Come back."

Pulling out the Insect Control Bag, Su Jie gestured to the swarm of human-faced moths.

The moths hanging from the ceiling spread their wings, like a tornado storm, they whirled into the Insect Control Bag one by one, hiding and falling into a dormant state inside.

Su Jie then turned his gaze to the Thousand-Handed Centipede.

The opponent had cornered the last low-grade poisonous insect in the underground space into a dead end.

The lizard with two tails and six legs frantically attempted to escape, panicking into a pile of chaotic rocks.

But it was to no avail. The Thousand-Handed Centipede lowered its head, resembling steel, the pale corpse hands emitted a piercing screeching noise, instantly crushed the chaotic rocks along with the low-grade poisonous insect inside and swallowed the flesh and broken stones, the powerful stomach acids easily dissolving even steel, rendering some stones completely insignificant.

Seeing this, Su Jie stood up, fetched a hose, and started hosing down the Thousand-Handed Centipede, washing away the blood stains and dirt on its body, revealing the sleek, dark shell.

The Thousand-Handed Centipede buzzed twice, squinting its eyes in enjoyment of its master's service.

Once Su Jie had cleaned off all the pollutants, the Thousand-Handed Centipede's 38-meter long, terrifying, and fierce body lost some of its ferocity and gained an air of majesty befitting a colossal creature.

After consuming this batch of poisonous insects from the underground breeding farm, the Thousand-Handed Centipede had grown significantly.

It was 30 meters long just after breaking through the four times Spirit Refining, but now it had grown another eight meters.

Its width, height, weight, and various abilities all improved significantly.

Although it had not yet reached the threshold for the fifth Spirit Refining, it was much closer to that breakthrough point, needing perhaps one or two more such feasts to break through and become a Mid Grade Five Refinement poisonous insect.

Su Jie took out another Insect Control Bag and deposited a new batch of inferior poisonous insects brought from the Tianyuan World into the underground cultivation base, waiting for them to grow into low-grade poisonous insects before bringing the thousand-hand centipede to harvest them.

After completing all this, Su Jie put away the thousand-hand centipede, opened the Ancient Mirror, and returned to the Tianyuan World.

..........

Tianyuan World, Ghost Ridge Palace.

After handling all matters related to Blue Star and successfully launching Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid overseas, Su Jie returned to Ghost Ridge Palace.

Because Ning Xinyue had already sent news that there were clues to the location of the Exotic Treasure.

In the study of Su Mansion, Su Jie and Ning Xinyue sat opposite each other.

"Are you sure it's this location?"

Looking at the location of the Exotic Treasure provided by Ning Xinyue, Su Jie's tone was somewhat conflicted.

"I've painstakingly deduced for two months and invested a lot of spirit stones, it definitely won't be wrong," Ning Xinyue assured, pointing to the Tianxi Eight Diagrams Plate which displayed a virtual image of mountains and rivers, above which a purple cloud floated over a mountain peak.

"The problem is, this place isn't easy to get to!"

Su Jie rubbed his forehead, explaining the difficulties about this place.

"This mountain is called Eagle Peak Mountain, and underneath it lies Bihe Pond, one of the notorious treacherous places within the Ghost Ridge Palace's territory. That's not all; there is also activity from other disciples there,"

Having lived in Ghost Ridge Palace, Su Jie had of course heard about the dangers of this territory.

Some of these dangerous places posed a great threat to Ghost Ridge Palace and were difficult to clear.

For example, Earth Shadow Cave, which is located on the trade route from Ghost Ridge Palace to the outside world. While it might not pose a threat to the Elders, it was different for disciples.

And there were dangerous places where even the Hidden Realm Elders had to steer clear of.

Then there were those in between, where Ghost Ridge Palace could clear them but didn't need to. After all, the dangerous places were not obstructing the trade route, so there was no need to exert much effort. These places could still be used to train disciples, like Eagle Peak Mountain right now.

Ning Xinyue glanced sideways and curled her lips: "Are you scared?"

"Don't try to provoke me with that tactic, it won't work,"

Su Jie took out a map, marked out the route, and said nonchalantly, "The two of us will act together. Just don't hold me back, and I'm quite confident."

Ning Xinyue, not taking Su Jie's sarcasm well, retorted, "What do you mean I hold you back? I found the location, and you should be thankful I'm even willing to start this with you."

"We leave tomorrow, and remember to listen to me on the way,"

Su Jie did not argue with Ning Xinyue and after confirming the action route, he seriously instructed her.

"Got it, just make sure you lead the way properly, guide,"

Ning Xinyue's eyes rolled around, perhaps thinking of something.

Su Jie stood up, preparing to go to the Black Market to purchase some supplies for tomorrow's action.

He still had quite a few Blood Marrow Crystals; keeping them now was meaningless, it was safer to convert them into combat power first, which would also increase the success rate.
