Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1431: Spirit Luxuriant World, State of Perfection?!

As the Spirit Luxuriant World was facing an unprecedented crisis, anything that would help strengthen their world and bring them closer to a peak-tier Spirit World would be tolerated.

The Eternal Palace and the Divine Capital Sect might have disrupted the order of the world, but it was an undeniable fact that they transformed another continent into a state of perfection.

At the same time, Li Jidao and Yang Taihe also rid themselves of their restrictions, allowing them to grow stronger once again.

Not long after the Divine Capital Sect took root in the Yu Continent, Li Jidao broke through to become a third tier Elysium True Immortal.

As for Yang Taihe, it might be because the threshold to become a high-level True Immortal was far from what he could achieve, and it might also be because after 4,000 miles of land from the Yong Continent was taken away, his foundations were slightly affected, but he remained as a third tier True Immortal.

“It’s a shame the Great Observation Sect that has been around for hundreds of years was exterminated like this.” Shang Xia observed everything from above and sighed softly.

Kou Chongxue snorted coldly at the side, “The Divine Capital Sect has long since plotted against the Great Observation Sect. How did you think the protection formation was destroyed so easily without a True Immortal making a move? How do you think the chaos in the Yu Continent was so easily quelled?”

“Then again, that would mean that the Divine Capital Sect had already planned to split from the Yong Continent and has already reached an agreement with the Eternal Palace.” Shang Xia frowned.

“They definitely had a plan against it, and there should be more than a single angle of attack. Actually, they probably had more than 1 plan. It wouldn’t be easy to implement them but the recent state of things allowed them to see hope of success. Also, their Elysiums being stuck in the Yong Continent would eventually foster huge problems anyway. They had to deal with it one way or another.” Kou Chongxue explained.

Shang Xia suddenly thought of something and he asked, “In that case, the Yuanchen Sect’s expansion is going to run into a lot of problems soon.”

Liu Jingsheng and Huang Jinghan could only continue to expand to the Yang Continent with the presence of the Eternal Palace in the Yong Continent and the Divine Capital Sect in the Yu Continent. The Shu Continent was already used by Lu Baili to ascend, and the Jiao Continent that is also close to the Yuanchen Sect is where Kou Chongxue advanced. The Yang Continent was the only region where there wasn’t any Elysium-level super faction or a True Immortal.

Kou Chongxue chuckled softly, “It’s not going to be easy for the Jing Continent to swallow the World Origin Source connected to the Yang Continent...”

“Yeah.” Shang Xia nodded in agreement. “The Lushan Sect will also put up a strong resistance, right?”

The Tongyou Institution had always maintained a good relationship with the Lushan Sect and in recent years, they had friendly interactions with each other. With the Lushan Sect intentionally drawing closer to the Tongyou Institution, they would most definitely request for the Tongyou Institution’s help if the Yuanchen Sect started to intrude on their land.

“Patriarch Kou, you won’t allow the Jing Continent to attack the Yang Continent, right?” Shang Xia laughed.

Kou Chongxue didn’t deny it. He thought for a moment and muttered, “At least not for the time being.”

Kou Chongxue ascended with the spirituality of the Jiao Continent that also bordered the Yang Continent.

“Speaking of which, you might not have noticed, but even though it looks like only the Sha Continent, Xu Continent, and Xing Continent have not reached a state of perfection, if our institution and the Northern Sea Mystic Sect are willing to go all out and pay the price, we will be able to force them to expand. Along with the second Elysium of our institution taking shape, all our Spirit Luxuriant World will need is a last Elysium before we will truly stand at the peak of Spirit Worlds.” Kou Chongxue folded his hands before him and continued, “If an expert from our world is able to enter the Martial Emptiness Realm and become a sage, we might be able to push the World’s Will to transform and complete the ascension to become an Essence World!”

Kou Chongxue turned to look at Shang Xia and asked in a mysterious voice, “You have the greatest chance among us to enter the Martial Emptiness Realm. You will have to take on the responsibility to keep our Spirit Luxuriant World among the strongest worlds in the Heaven Observation Field. What plans do you have? No matter what, the institution and myself will stand behind you and provide all the help we can.”

Shang Xia thought for a moment before he replied, “With how things are looking, I am quite hopeful of reaching the grand completion stage, but I have no idea how to proceed. I will definitely need the support of the institution, but if it impedes the advancement of our disciples, there is no need to help me out.”

Afraid Kou Chongxue would misunderstand, he quickly continued, “When entering the Martial Emptiness Realm, one will have to take into account the karmic ties with the world. The more we take from the world, the greater the karmic bond will become. The difficulty of entering the Martial Emptiness Realm will also increase along with it.”

Shang Xia also wanted to remind Kou Chongxue with his warning.

After all, Kou Chongxue wasn’t far from reaching the level of Returning to the Origin. From how heaven-defying the patriarch’s luck was, entering the Martial Emptiness Realm might not be too far off the horizon either. He had to tell Kou Chongxue everything he knew.

What he didn’t know was that Kou Chongxue couldn’t be bothered with whatever he had to say at the moment. All he could think about was how Shang Xia was already hopeful of reaching the grand completion stage. He was messing around earlier, but he didn’t think that Shang Xia would admit it so suddenly.

How long has it been since this little shit entered the level of Extreme Harmonization?!

Why the hell is he envying my luck all the time?!

I’m not even in the fifth tier of the Martial Void Realm yet, and this little shit who already knows how to reach the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm is saying that he’s envying me...

If not for the fact that Shang Xia grew up in the Tongyou Institution and Kou Chongxue had a good grasp of his personality, he would have thought that Shang Xia was mocking him!

Quickly forcing himself to calm down, Kou Chongxue started to process what Shang Xia said and he eventually replied, “Whatever. That’s how things are now. When do you plan to head to the Essence Xing World again? Are you going to wait for the Elysium in the Jiao Continent to be completed?”

Shang Xia thought for a moment and he shook his head. “Forget it. It will take too long and I need to make another trip out to see if I can pass through the gap in the Star Curtain to arrive at the Essence Xing World.”

“If anything happens during the establishment of the Elysium in the Jiao Continent, call my External Avatar to return.” Shang Xia eventually concluded.

Kou Chongxue laughed in response, “Relax. In the Spirit Luxuriant World, I can still deal with any trouble that might come our way.”

Kou Chongxue sounded confident, and Shang Xia was also assured of the patriarch’s ability to deal with the matter. That was why he was willing to leave the Spirit Luxuriant World.

As for his External Avatar in Star Beast Nest No.2, that was the last line of defense.

With the splitting of the Yong Continent concluded and the Spirit Luxuriant World returning to normal, Shang Xia left quietly. Not many people learned of his departure.

With the news of Shang Xia’s breakthrough to the level of Extreme Harmonization and the Spirit Luxuriant World’s efforts to bring the high-level True Immortals of the other Spirit Worlds over, be it the Star Origin Dao Field, Spirit Mammoth World, or Spirit Abundance World. Every single one of them increased their surveillance on the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Yuan Qiuyuan discovered their actions almost immediately after they returned to their world and he reminded Shang Xia and the rest about it. In the institution, they were also sure the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World had their own Star Observatories and powerful Stargazers.

Other than the Star Origin Dao Field’s Star Observatory, it wouldn’t be too easy for Yuan Qiuyuan to discover the locations of the observatories of the Spirit Abundance World and Spirit Mammoth World.

Yuan Qiuyuan might not be able to do it, but with Shang Xia’s constant infiltration, he had a feeling their Star Observatory was located in the Azure Island.

Of course, those great powers didn’t just observe the Spirit Luxuriant World through their Star Observatories. They definitely had other methods but Shang Xia weren’t worried about those. He only cared about the long-range detection from the other Worlds.

Following Yuan Qiuyuan’s warnings, he learned that every Star Ship that would leave the Spirit Luxuriant World would most likely be tracked. If Shang Xia had chosen to leave the Spirit Luxuriant World that way, he would most definitely have been discovered.

However, if he left alone, they would not be able to follow the tracks of a sixth tier True Immortal.

Shang Xia could use the Five Element Teleportation Formation to travel to Star Beast Nest No.2 before leaving on a Star Ship, but he wanted to travel through the sea of stars in order to temper his physical body. At the same time, he wanted to ascertain a proper path from the Spirit Luxuriant World to the Essence Xing World through the Star Curtain.

The Five Element Teleportation Formation worked well, but it used up too much resources.

Since their development of the second Star Beast Nest, if not for Shang Xia, the rank six Talisman Grandmaster personally protecting it and obtaining huge amounts of resources from the Essence Xing World, they would probably have sapped the Spirit Luxuriant World of a lot of spiritual herbs and treasures. The consumption would have been difficult to maintain.
