Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 261 - 176: Primordial Spirit (First Update)
Chapter 261: Chapter 176: Primordial Spirit (First Update)
The moment Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit took shape, numerous vague and fleeting images flashed through his mind.
They seemed to be the familiar figures of many humans, apes, and even the memories of animals and fish.
In human consciousness, the island that rises above the water represents an individual’s conscious mind, while the submerged part of the island represents the subconscious.
As Su Jie awakened his Primordial Spirit, his subconscious mind also began to stir.
Humans are not born as blank slates, but rather carry the genetic memories of millions of years.
Suddenly, Su Jie seemed to see the lives of his ancestors in ancient times—apes making fire by drilling wood, beasts hunting for prey, and even earlier memories of the oceanic origins of life, where large fish competed in the vast seas.
These were fragments of genetic memory; the memories he saw were pieces of his body’s ancestral evolution passed down through generations.
The existence of the Primordial Spirit, being aware of the past five hundred years, is not an empty claim.
But these memories were too vast, and the moment Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit revived, it automatically blocked and eroded all these memories to avoid affecting his true self.
“So this is what the Primordial Spirit is,”
Su Jie slightly clenched his fist, looking at it from the perspective of Taoism, only those who have achieved the Primordial Spirit are considered to have found the Dao.
Otherwise, one’s body is nothing more than a stinking sack of flesh, merely a ‘fake person.’
Su Jie’s thoughts continued to expand, and his Primordial Spirit leaped out of the physical shell.
At this moment, Su Jie’s Divine Soul still resembled a child, but the final pair of eyes had also been successfully enlightened, making him look like a complete child, a Q-version of Su Jie as a child.
The sunlight shined upon the Primordial Spirit, and all Su Jie felt was a warm and exceedingly comfortable sensation.
In the past, Su Jie’s Divine Soul would feel uncomfortable in sunlight, typically only coming out to wander at night.
Su Jie’s consciousness was immersed, and his thoughts gradually began to connect with this world, feeling as if his soul could touch some form of intangible existence.

His eyes shimmering with golden light, Su Jie saw what are called the traces of the Dao in this world.
It was a concentrated mass of a type of Spiritual Quality energy, with no potential energy, no movement, and no sound, light, shape, or color. It was silent and unmoving.
But as soon as Su Jie tried to observe, his Primordial Spirit began to tremble violently, as if continuing to observe would annihilate his soul.
However, just as Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit touched a corner of the Dao, something in his Storage Bag flickered.
The Ancient Mirror that had helped Su Jie travel between two realms transformed into a phantom image and directly collided into Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit.
Startled, Su Jie had no time to react when suddenly the whole world seemed to change.
No, the Dao was not motionless or colorless.
Shock filled Su Jie’s mind; the Dao was indeed in motion, like a vast and boundless river flowing through this world.
The reason he felt the Spiritual Quality of the Dao was static was purely because his Primordial Spirit was too weak.
Compared to the Dao, his Primordial Spirit was like plankton dwelling in the great ocean, lacking even the most basic brain structure and merely drifting along the current. To his Primordial Spirit’s point of view, the entire world appeared static and colorless, akin to the principle of observing the sky from the bottom of a well.
“This Ancient Mirror.”
Su Jie looked toward the Ancient Mirror within his Primordial Spirit, his heart more shocked than even when he achieved the Primordial Spirit.
This Ancient Mirror had actually allowed his Primordial Spirit to glimpse the true form of the Dao.
Any Magic Artifact that could touch the Dao, no, even Magical Treasures, hardly ever come into contact with the Dao.
Only certain special Innate Spiritual Objects, or indeed genuine Innate Treasures, can reach the extraordinary domain of the Dao.
Even Primordial Spirit, the achievement of Divine Soul which most can’t reach even in the Secret Realm, seemed no more than a plankton before the grand dao!
He didn’t dare to make contact. Merely a glimpse could have caused Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit to explode.
However, once the Ancient Mirror entered his Primordial Spirit, Su Jie still dared not touch it, but at least he wouldn’t feel like his Primordial Spirit was about to explode, and he was also able to see the true form of the dao.
All this time, Su Jie thought the Ancient Mirror was only meant for traveling between two worlds. Now it seemed his understanding of the mirror was still too superficial.
Indeed, even Innate Spiritual Objects probably couldn’t manage to traverse two worlds, judging by the significance involved.
As Su Jie thought this, his gaze shifted to the battle unfolding outside.
The next moment, Su Jie’s Primordial Spirit returned to his body, he pushed open the door, and walked into the alley.
The battle raging in the alley had reached its climax. The Lantern Ghost and Zhong Shiguan were completely overpowering Ning Xinyue and Xiao Fengyuan.
Both were covered with many wounds, and had Zhong Shiguan not wished to capture Ning Xinyue alive to turn her into a ghost, they probably would have given in by now.
“Brother Su?”
Xiao Fengyuan was surprised to see Su Jie emerge.
“If you hadn’t come out, we would have had to make a run for it.”
Ning Xinyue complained with her mouth, but slyly retreated behind Su Jie, after all, Su Jie had defeated Zhong Shiguan once before, surely he could win again… hopefully, as Ning Xinyue wasn’t too confident.
“Zhong Shiguan.”
Suddenly, Su Jie called out, drawing Zhong Shiguan’s attention to himself.
Meeting a nemesis does inflame one’s wrath.
“It is you, after all! You sure made me search,” Zhong Shiguan said through gritted teeth, his eyes ablaze with uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion.
His present plight, having forsaken his physical body to inhabit the Painting Woman, was all thanks to Su Jie.
So upon seeing Su Jie, if glares could kill—but actually, Zhong Shiguan’s glare could really kill.
In his fury, Zhong Shiguan’s gaze locked on Su Jie, and suddenly a mirror appeared under Su Jie’s feet, and he was bizarrely swallowed into it.
This scene not only stunned Ning Xinyue and Xiao Fengyuan but even made the attacking Zhong Shiguan freeze.
“Haha, last time you ambushed me with your Divine Soul, now you have today, entering my Mirror World. No matter how skillful you are, you will be trapped to death inside.”
Zhong Shiguan was overjoyed, although he didn’t understand why Su Jie didn’t dodge or resist, he wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.
A brass mirror appeared in his hands, and it was containing Su Jie’s reflection.
Previously, Mo Shiyao herself was trapped in the Mirror World, unable to escape no matter what.
Zhong Shiguan feared Su Jie’s Divine Soul, but once inside the Mirror World, even if Su Jie’s Divine Soul were strong, he wouldn’t be able to escape quickly. If he first took care of Ning Xinyue and Xiao Fengyuan, then together with the Lantern Ghost, they could defeat him.
“Su Jie, you idiot, you couldn’t withstand a single move.”
Ning Xinyue stamped her feet in frustration, not understanding the meaning behind Su Jie’s actions.
“Perhaps he’s just come out of seclusion and his consciousness is still confused, his combat consciousness hasn’t recovered yet.”
Xiao Fengyuan’s heart sank, having thought Su Jie’s arrival would turn the tide, only to be met with such an outcome.
