Splitting the Heavens

“I heard that after Kou Chongxue returned from Star origin City, he brought back a bunch of Formation Masters from the Azure Oddity World?” Yin Jingxu started to observe the battle far away with some sort of secret art and after hearing Zhang Xuansheng’s description of the Star Ships’ way of doing battle, he quickly brought up some information he heard.

At the side, Liu Jingsheng found some interest in what he revealed and asked, “Do you mean that the battle formation their Star Ships use came from the inheritance of those Formation Masters of the Azure Oddity World?”

Even Lu Wuzi, who had friendly relations with the Tongyou Institution, couldn’t help but join in the conversation, “The Tongyou Institution already has a rank five Formation Grandmaster with a Formation Divine Artifact… It’s said that it won’t be long till they complete their rank six grand formation. The help of Formation Masters of the Azure Oddity is basically giving them an extra boost…”

Zhang Jianzi, who had been standing behind Zhang Xuansheng the entire time, spoke suddenly, “Those Formation Masters of the Azure Oddity World usually remain hidden…”

Shooting Zhang Jianzi a casual glance, Lu Wuzi didn’t say anymore.

Instead, Yang Taihe burst out laughing at the side, “Of course they would remain hidden. After all, they’re foreign experts and they would be rejected by our World’s Will. They would probably remain in the Elysium to get used to the feeling of suppression before attempting to roam the world… Without several tens of years, they won’t be able to integrate into our world. Moreover, they won’t be able to cultivate during this period of time… We have to admit that those Formation Masters are really gutsy to agree to return to our Spirit Luxuriant World with Kou Chongxue.”

Li Jidao seemed to have heard the hidden meaning in Zhang Jianzi’s words and he wondered out loud, “True Immortal Zhang Jianzi, did you discover something strange with them?”

“I’m not so capable…” Zhang Jianzi muttered in a humble tone before he continued, “I’m just making a bold guess. Perhaps… When the Star Origin Dao Field hid itself in the void, True Immortal Kou had already entered the city.”

The True Immortals standing above the heavenly screen fell silent for a moment.

Only after some time did Liu Jingsheng sigh, “That… That’s the benefit of being a Free True Immortal…”

Li Jidao grunted in response, “From the time our world ascended, the True Immortals of the Tongyou Institution managed to obtain most of the benefits and opportunities… From what we’re seeing, Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia probably… No… They most definitely took part in the war that destroyed the Azure Oddity World…”

A bitter chuckle left Yin Jingxu’s lips. “From the looks of it, I shouldn’t remain here all the time. It’s not like I entered the Martial Void Realm recently… It’s time for me to head out there to gain some experience.”

Turning to Lu Wuzi, Liu Jingsheng muttered suddenly, “True Immortal Lu, about the Star Beast Nest near the Spirit Faith World…”

“Alright… I guess it’s time for me to replace True Immortal Huang there…” Lu Wuzi sighed with a forced laugh.

Liu Jingsheng nodded contendly, and he didn’t say any more.

At that moment, Li Jidao seemed to fall deep into his thoughts and he asked, “When True Immortal Huang returns… He should have reached the level of Inner Fusion, right?”

A look of annoyance flashed across Liu Jingsheng’s face after hearing Li Jidao’s probing questions. He maintained an expressionless face when responding, “It all depends on how lucky he was…”

Zhang Xuansheng turned his attention back to the battle in the distance and muttered, “There are more and more Martial Dipper Realm cultivators of the Tongyou Institution leaving their Star Ships…”

“True Immortal Little Shang might have become a high-level True Immortal, but he seems to be even more anxious than before…” Yang Taihe sighed softly.

Zhang Xuansheng looked at him and raised an eyebrow slowly, “From the looks of it, True Immortal Yang, you seem to have discovered more than what True Immortal Little Shang told us back then…”

Yang Taihe shook his head slowly and sighed, “The Spirit Mammoth World, Spirit Abundance World, and Spirit Tinkle World have sealed off all news related to what was happening. However, I managed to hear something from the Spirit Thistle World… It seems as though high-level True Immortals have been appearing frequently in those worlds…”

“Oh?” Zhang Xuansheng grunted once before he continued, “The Spirit Thistle World also seems to be feeling some sort of pressure… Could they have released some information to you in order to test our reaction?”

“I thought of that possibility… However, they seem interested in making contact with us. Those who brought back the news were Martial Dipper Realm members we stationed in the Star Origin Dao Field but the Spirit Thistle World is interested in contacting True Immortals of our worlds.” Yang Taihe explained.

There were only a few people qualified to represent the Spirit Luxuriant World to interact with the Spirit Thistle World. They were Yang Taihe, Zhang Xuansheng, or Kou Chongxue. After all, Shang Xia refused to take part in matters like that because he would rather leave it to the more experienced seniors.

Even if both worlds were to interact with each other, both sides would definitely be wary of each other. The best place to meet would be in a neutral region of space, and that basically stopped the Elysium True Immortals from taking part.

The True Immortals standing above the heavenly screen also understood the implications and fell deep into thought.

Zhang Xuansheng didn’t bother beating about the bush. “They’re probably trying to form an alliance. From the looks of it, the Spirit Mammoth World, Spirit Abundance World, and the Spirit Tinkle World seemed to have already formed an alliance. Their main target should be the hidden Essence World True Immortal Little Shang told us about. With the weakening Star Origin Dao Field, who would dare to be sure those worlds wouldn’t turn around and target other worlds connected to the Star Origin Dao Field?”

The reason the Star Origin Dao Field no longer had such deterrence wasn’t because Tong Yutang took over Zhuge Xiang’s position as the Star Origin Guards Commander. It was because the location of the Star Origin Lord had been discovered!

He was tangled with the Essence Ping World and wouldn’t be able to interfere with the movements of the various worlds, and no one was afraid of the Star Origin Dao Field butting into their matters any longer.

Also… With Zhang Xuansheng’s revelation, it was clear the Northern Sea Mystic Sect also had their information channels just like the Eternal Palace.

“It’s not just our Spirit Worlds that are feeling the pressure. The Azure Worlds that have connected a fixed spatial tunnel to the Star Origin Dao Field are also panicking right now. The various True Immortals seemed to have discovered something, but they’re planning to place all their hopes in the Star Origin Guards. Ever since Tong Yutang became the Star Origin Guards Commander, he also showed signs of trying to pull them over to his side. Instead, he didn’t bother too much about his relationship with the Spirit Worlds…” Li Jidao also provided some information.

The foundations of the 3 oldest Elysiums in the Spirit Luxuriant World were put on display once again.

Yin Jingxu suddenly interjected with some news, “The Star Ships of our factions and some other powers have arrived…”

To that, Zhang Xuansheng replied without even turning his attention back to the battlefield, “It’s too late. The Tongyou Institution has already completely suppressed the Star Beast pack. They had already completed their main goal of taking on the pack themselves… As for the treasures the other factions are vying over… I’m afraid the members of the Tongyou Institution wouldn’t care about it at all…”

Liu Jingsheng also added with a sigh, “After this battle… Many members of the Tongyou Institution would grow stronger once again. They might even produce a few more experts at the fourth element of the Martial Dipper Realm… Those members will be the candidates to become True Immortals in the future…”

Li Jidao’s tone suddenly changed and he grunted, “Everyone… We best not forget. Our Spirit LUxuriant World only has 33 slots for people to become True Immortals…”

The atmosphere around the True Immortals instantly turned weird. Only when they felt strange fluctuations in the distance did they turn their attention back.

The battle in the distance seemed to have frozen, as the Star Beast pack, along with the many Star Ships that went to join the battle stood in place.

The True Immortals who saw what happened started to turn frantic.

“This… What just happened?!” Yin Jingxu gasped to break the silence.

No one responded, and Yin Jingxu glanced around to try to gauge their reactions. Other than Zhang Jianzi, Lu Wuzi, and himself who were utterly confused and couldn’t see what was going on, A look of disbelief could be seen on Li Jidao and Liu Jingsheng’s faces. As for Yang Taihe and Zhang Xuansheng… Both of them had solemn expressions as they remained deep in thought.

It was then that the frozen region regained its activity. However, everything changed the moment time resumed. Be it the Star Beasts, or those from the Spirit Luxuriant World… Both sides seemed slightly confused.

Everything happened too suddenly and quickly, and what they felt had exceeded their scope of comprehension.

Even though everything only stopped for a moment and it ended after Yin Jingxu asked his question, the situation on the battlefield changed completely!

If the Tongyou Institution could be said to have completely suppressed the Star Beast pack earlier and the introduction of even more experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World caused the Star Beasts to fight desperately for their lives, after the momentary pause, the Star Beasts no longer bothered fighting.

Instead, they chose to run.

Giving up their defenses completely, they risked their lives to take on whatever attacks were flying at them as they tried their best to flee.

Because of their massive bodies and powerful vitality, even though they gave up fighting back, only 7 to 8 Star Beasts were slain by the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Of them, those that died were rank three or rank four Star Beasts.

In order to kill those beasts, the Spirit Luxuriant World also suffered a great deal of damage to their fleet.

The moment those beasts turned to flee, nothing could stop them. More than 10 of them charged out immediately, led by 2 rank five Star Beasts.

Everything that happened was caused by a solitary figure who could be seen standing quietly in the middle of the battlefield!

Shang Xia, who left to chase the 2 rank six Star Beasts, returned. No one on the battlefield other than himself knew what happened to the rank six Star Beasts…

Wasn’t there just a massive blast in the void just a second ago?!

Yang Taihe, who finally regained his senses and composure, broke the silence. “True Immortal Little Shang… He restricted the void… No… He sealed everything in that region of space!”

Yang Taihe tried to describe everything the best he could.

Liu Jingsheng also built on his explanation, “Not only did he instantly deal with the 2 rank six Star Beasts, but he even sealed off the entire battlefield containing the Star Beast pack and experts of our world…”

Yin Jingxu gasped in fright before Liu Jingsheng could finish, “How… How strong is he?!”

“Once he uses his strange Rod Technique, it’s hard to imagine…” Li Jidao also sighed softly.

A look of confusion remained on Zhang Jianzi’s face and he couldn’t help but ask, “Could that be the true might of a high-level True Immortal?”

“No.” Zhang Xuansheng muttered decisively, “This is True Immortal Little Shang’s ability. It has nothing to do with being a high-level True Immortal.”

After he spoke, he turned to Yang Taihe and saw an equally bitter smile on his face. “Brother Yang, both of us intended to help if things got out of hand and they failed to handle the invasion… From the looks of it, we made a huge miscalculation… They didn’t need our help.”
