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

Ning Xinyue felt she might cry out of frustration at Su Jie, glaring at him as she angrily said, "You jerk, this lotus seed is clearly our combined battle loot."

With a shrug, Su Jie responded, "It's not that I don't want to share, but how can we split it when there's only one?"

"This Enlightenment Lotus Seed is not meant to be eaten. I know how to use it, and it can be used by two people."

If Ning Xinyue weren't unable to beat Su Jie, she would have given him a punch.

Curiosity piqued, Su Jie asked, "Do you know the origins of this exotic treasure?"

"I just remembered after flipping through a book."

Pointing to the Jade Heavenly Book, Ning Xinyue explained, "That Exotic Treasure Lotus is called the Nine-grade Sacred Lotus. The last time it appeared was eight hundred years ago. The treasure itself has infinite marvelous uses, and when it matures, it releases Enlightenment Lotus Seeds. Cultivators can use these seeds to comprehend the profound Heavenly Dao and even obtain special constitutions."

"Nine-grade Sacred Lotus, Enlightenment Lotus Seeds?"

Touching his chin, Su Jie then turned and began to clean the battlefield.

"Hey, are you a man of your word or not?"

"Let's clean up the battlefield first; this place is not suitable for a long stay."

Su Jie glanced at Ning Xinyue and quickly proceeded with the battlefield cleanup and trace elimination.

The corpses of the bugs were prime feed, perfect to add to the Thousand-Handed Centipede's meals.

As for the Magic Artifacts, good or bad alike, all could be sold for Blood Marrow Crystals, and he took them all.

Not to mention the contents of those Storage Bags; there were still plenty of good things inside.

Watching Su Jie pick up spoils happily, Ning Xinyue helped herself to several Storage Bags as well, but after seeing what was inside, the girl disdained and curled her lips in contempt.

The items in these Storage Bags were of such low value that, together with the Blood Marrow Crystals, they were worth only a couple of thousand at most. When she was looking for the Exotic Treasure, she had spent more than that amount on Spirit Stones for the Tianxi Eight Diagrams Plate in a single day.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Su Jie and Ning Xinyue didn't linger any longer and quickly left the area.

Half an hour later, riding the Thousand-Handed Centipede, Su Jie found a cave and led Ning Xinyue inside.

When the campfire lit up the dark cave, Su Jie also took out the Enlightenment Lotus Seed.

The seed was the size of a peanut and was colored a pure white. It had countless dense patterns on its surface, vaguely forming the shape of a qilin.

Fixing his gaze on the Enlightenment Lotus Seed, Su Jie turned to Ning Xinyue and asked, "How should it be used?"

"Just activate it with Spiritual Power."

Su Jie attempted to channel a stream of Spiritual Power into it.

Suddenly, the seed levitated, emitting divine brilliance, resembling a bright star.

A qilin phantom emerged from the Enlightenment Lotus Seed, creating a ripple of visions, bringing an auspicious and divine presence to the world. Golden lotuses blossomed spontaneously in the empty cave surrounding Su Jie and Ning Xinyue, with pollen fluttering and filling the room with fragrance.

Roar, roar.

The qilin phantom opened its mouth in a roar, and the Enlightenment Lotus Seed shone brightly, collapsing inward and releasing endless light and heat. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire

Feeling as if he were in a pool of volcanic lava, Su Jie's skin, muscles, bones, and organs heated to an unbearable temperature, engulfed by an intense burning sensation.

In the midst of this fiery torment, black impurities seeped out of his pores. Gradually, Su Jie's bones began to exhibit a jade-like coloration, and his flesh refined to perfection, radiating an aura of completeness.

Within the channels of his body, as the lotus seed was ingested, the Spiritual Energy inside Su Jie boiled and rampaged.

The originally white Spiritual Energy gradually turned purple, with a density several times greater than before.

As his body underwent a transformative metamorphosis, Su Jie remained seated in the lotus position with his eyes closed.

After the extreme heat, a cool breath entered Su Jie's body, and a mysterious Taoist chant arose from his sea of consciousness.

This sound was filled with myriad mysteries, as if an Immortal was expounding the three thousand great Dao, and it seemed as though each bright Dao pattern was being branded into his mind.

For Su Jie, his comprehension of cultivation and understanding of Taoist skills deepened unceasingly.

Boom!

An even more astonishing change occurred within the sea of consciousness, where a Purple Cloud Qilin congealed into existence, causing waves and storms.

Where the sea of consciousness was originally dim and murky, streaks of purple thunder now appeared as if heralding the beginning of the heavens and the earth, illuminating the nine heavens and ten lands.

Located in the sea of consciousness, the Divine Soul of Su Jie, which was originally only an orb of light, underwent a marvelous transformation with the appearance of the myriad thunderous Heavenly Thunders. The orb took on the form of a Divine Soul with arms, legs, facial features, and even showing signs of transforming from Fetal Light into a Primordial Spirit.

Naturally and effortlessly, Su Jie's cultivation automatically broke through to the eighth level of the Yunling Realm without any obstruction.

But this was not the end—Su Jie had entered a mysterious state of Enlightenment, perceiving the changes in all things in heaven and earth.

Time gradually passed.

It was unclear whether ten days or half a month had passed.

Suddenly, changes began to surface on Su Jie's body, subtle arcs of electricity danced across his skin, and crackling sounds echoed continuously in the cave.

Opposite Su Jie, Ning Xinyue's body exuded frost, freezing half the cave into ice crystals. The purple electric currents on Su Jie's side reflected against it, clashing and sparking continuously as if competing with each other.

Several more days passed.

One day, all of a sudden, Su Jie's eyes opened, bursting forth with a dazzling divine light that extended several meters.

Purple thunders emerged from the void like the might of nature, their booming sounds causing the animals within hundreds of meters to shudder in fear.

Su Jie felt the vast strength within his body and clenched his fist, delivering a punch into the air.

Crack! Boom!

The void trembled, and thunder revealed itself, blasting a ten-meter-deep crater into the ground. Behind Su Jie, the phantom of a Purple Cloud Qilin appeared, with his physical body and Spiritual Power now at least four or five times stronger than before.

"All beings observe me, with the divine skill of great freedom."

Su Jie brought his hands together, and the Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder spread from his body, turning the underground space into a world of rolling thunders, with streaks of purple lightning bursting into a sea of thunder.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, then it grew wider and wider, until Su Jie clenched his fist firmly, feeling the boundless strength within, unable to stop smiling.

"So this is not just an Enlightenment Lotus Seed, but also a Divine Skills Lotus Seed. As expected from an Exotic Treasure, indeed extraordinary. To consume it nurtures divine skills."

Su Jie murmured to himself, realizing that from now on, he too was a wielder of divine skills.

The so-called divine skills represent a special kind of innate gift, similar to an electric eel generating electricity or a bat using echolocation—natural gifts that typically appear only in special constitutions and are generally beyond the reach of cultivation.

Such special constitutions are almost invariably powerful and beneficial for cultivation.

For example, the famous innate constitutions in the Tianyuan World, like the Innate Taoist Body, Five Elements Immortal Body, Primordial Yin Xuan Demon Body, Radiant Sun Saint Body—the top ten constitutions in the Tianyuan World—can be said to reach the Taoist Platform Realm before adulthood if nothing goes awry, and their emergence will cause a sensation in all directions.

And the divine skills that come with these Divine Bodies and Immortal Bodies are nearly invincible among their peers, capable of crushing most enemies at the same level, or even achieving a level leap to challenge higher realms.

Another advantage of divine skills is that they are not driven by Spiritual Power but by the power of the Divine Soul.

The stronger the Divine Soul, the stronger the divine skills.

Because even if Su Jie's Spiritual Power were to run out in a prolonged battle, or even if his physical body were destroyed, he could still invoke his divine skills to strike down enemies, as long as his Divine Soul persisted.

"This should now be called the Purple Cloud Thunder Body, I guess."

Su Jie was inwardly thrilled. Acquiring the divine skill of Purple Cloud Heavenly Thunder was like adding brilliance to his arsenal of attacks, enriching his means to strike at enemies.

What Su Jie valued even more was the increase in innate talent that this constitution brought to him.
