Splitting the Heavens

She immediately caught the attention of the experts of the Tongyou Institution.

After all, other than Shang Xia, erasing their tracks was something the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World couldn’t do. No one expected Chu Jia to say that they would actually be able to achieve it.

Compared to the surprised gazes she was getting, Shang Xia’s clone seemed to have fallen deep into thought as he thought of something.

Liu Zhiyuan frowned and immediately started to question her, “You can do it? How will you do it?”

Compared to the way she spoke to Ji Wenlong or Yun Jing, Chu Jia was far from respectful when she spoke to Liu Zhiyuan. However, Yun Jing and Ji Wenlong were present and she couldn’t snap at him for interrupting her before she explained further. She simply snorted, “We can use the Five Element Teleportation Formation!”

Chu Jia’s idea shocked everyone else present and many of them glanced at Shang Xia’s clone who was sitting right before the deputy patriarchs.

Almost everyone knew how Chu Jia came up with the Five Element Formation series. It was built on Shang Xia’s Five Element ideology and his Five Element Ring was also remodeled into a Formation Divine Artifact she relied on to break through eventually.

None of them were strangers to the Five Element Teleportation Formation either.

That was because in recent years, even though Chu Jia placed all her attention on the rank six grand formation around the institution, she would still pay attention to the establishment of the Five Element Teleportation Formation from time to time and modify it for the better.

To high-level experts of the institution, the Five Element Teleportation Talisman might not save them much time as they were able to travel quickly around the continent. Not to mention the fact that they still had to operate it with essence crystals.

When the Five Element Teleportation Formation extended its reach out of the continent, it became a lot more useful. However, the high-level experts were able to travel above the heavenly screen as a great shortcut and no one really used it.

High-level experts might not think the formation was useful, but things were completely different for weaker cultivators. They didn’t need the help of high-level experts to travel around, and they could travel across continents in a safe and quick manner. The only part which pained them was the consumption of essence crystals. The amount required would be a burden to low-level cultivators.

One couldn’t see how Chu Jia opened up the formation to the eastern region of the You Continent and Changfeng City in the south because of her authority as the Formation Hall Master… She also made 3 different points of transfer in the north and even the Bing Continent, but all of them were created with the support of mountains of essence crystals!

3 of the Teleportation Formations within the You Continent had always been bleeding essence crystals, and only the formation that led to the Tianya Pavilion and Bing Continent managed to break even in terms of essence crystals consumption. However… If they counted the resources used to build those formations, the Tongyou Institution would still be losing money.

That was why Liu Zhiyuan would question her the moment she spoke. Because of how much resources she had been burning through, his first thought when she mentioned that the Formation Hall would be able to erase all tracks of the Star Beast Nest. Instead, he instinctively thought about how much resources they would use.

“Our great grandma… We can’t afford to waste any more resources!” Liu Zhiyuan lamented.

What he said truly embarrassed him as a deputy patriarch of the Tongyou Institution, but no one was actually paying attention to him at the moment.

Zhang Haogu, who hadn’t said anything since the very start, finally asked, “Are you really sure you will be able to get rid of our tracks completely?”

Hesitating slightly, Chu Jia seemed to fall deep into thought. She turned to look at Shang Xia’s clone suddenly and saw the look of interest in his eyes before reaching her conclusion. “The Five Element Teleportation Formation is slightly different from other types of formations that will allow one to pass through space. There is no need to establish a fixed spatial tunnel, and there is no way for them to track us!”

“Have we verified this? This isn’t something people will believe just because you say so… Especially the True Immortals of the other factions…” Zhang Haogu mumbled.

Chu Jia responded decisively, “The Five Element Teleportation Talisman to the Jiao Continent that is about to be complete is slightly different from the ones we built initially and it’s not only the one with the longest range, it even passes through the Ji, Yan, Xu, and Yang Continents. Whether or not it can be detected… I believe they will know as soon as they test it out.”

Liu Zhiyuan also regained his composure as he continued to ask, “The formation is able to connect our You Continent to the Jiao Continent, but that distance is nothing compared to our world and the Star Beast Nest! If we take a step back and assume it’s possible to lay down the formation, you won’t be able to do it in 1 try, right? It’s alright if you manage to deploy the formation in several more tries, but if you fail 10 times, it will cost an ungodly amount of resources! Even if the other great powers agree to share the cost, they’ll definitely go back on their word!”

Chu Jia snorted coldly in response, “Heh, in less than 2 years, our rank six grand formation will be complete. When the time comes, I should also be able to retrieve the Five Element Ring from it. With the Formation Divine Artifact, I should be able to lay down the Five Element Teleportation Formation to the Star Beast Nest. Don’t forget… I took part in the expeditions against the Azure Flame World and Spirit Faith World… I’m no stranger to long range spatial transfers… I’ll be able to put the Five Element Ring to good use too!”

“Since that’s the case, we’ll talk about it after the Five Element Teleportation Formation to the Jiao Continent is complete. If no traces are left behind, we’ll try to set up a Five Element Teleportation Talisman to the Star Beast Nest!” Shang Xia’s clone concluded before Liu Zhiyuan could say more. No matter how reluctant Liu Zhiyuan was to accept the decision, he managed to suppress his emotions.

After hearing Chu Jia’s suggestion, Lou Zizhang of the Talisman Hall also seemed to have received inspiration.

He, who could be considered half a rank five Talisman Grandmaster, leaped to his feet in excitement and he yelled, “If we’re able to establish a Five Element Teleportation Formation to the Star Beast Nest, we might be able to solve the problem of gathering everyone in the event trouble breaks out!”

Before anyone could question him, Lou Zizhang looked at Shang Xia’s clone and continued, “Hall Master, we might be able to create more Five Element Escape Formations and make some sort of connection between those talismans and the platform that holds the Five Element Teleportation Formation. Not only can we maximize the use of the Five Element Escape Talisman, but our members should also be able to immediately enter the formation and be sent back to our Spirit Luxuriant World. We won’t have to worry about the pursuit of the other party.”

Lou Zizhang spat everything out in 1 breath, and it might be because he was too excited, but he sounded out of breath. Whatever it was, he stared at Shang Xia expectantly, waiting for his reply.

Everyone who had gathered was shocked by his idea, and no one said a word.

Eventually, Shang Xia’s clone burst out laughing. “There is a possibility of making that a reality. However, we have to ensure that the Five Element Formation can be successfully established.”

He might not have received confirmation from Shang Xia that it was possible, but he was still extremely excited.

If they truly achieved it, they wouldn’t need rank five Teleportation Talismans! Even Martial Extermination Realm cultivators would be able to easily pass through the Star Beast Nest to return!

Also… Escape Talismans were much easier to craft than other talismans of the same rank.

If what Lou Zizhang said was made into reality, the Talisman Hall would once again usher in a period of progress! When that happens, they might gain another batch of rank four Talisman Grandmasters!

Since they reached a conclusion for the main issues at hand, they would have to deal with the rest of the problems that didn’t have much impact. After all, there were still a lot of things to work out.

Of course, they quickly reached a conclusion for those, and with that, they basically achieved their goal of their meeting.

Before Yun Jing could dismiss everyone, they burst out laughing. “Since we came up with a solution to everything, why do we need the help of the other great powers to develop the Star Beast Nest? We can just do it ourselves!”

Even though it was a joke, that was truly a question everyone wanted to ask.

The Star Beast pack was basically soloed by the Tongyou Institution and they discovered the Star Beast Nest alone. If they were to say that they had no grievances that they had to share with the rest, they would be lying to themselves.

However, their sense of reasoning told them that it was impossible for the Tongyou Institution to develop the Star Beast Nest alone.

The Tongyou Institution couldn’t reject the help of the other great powers yet, and they would also need the others to share the risk of developing the Star Beast Nest.

There wasn’t a need to talk about anything else. Just stationing a True Immortal there all the time was a problem for them! They might be able to fake having a high-level True Immortal with the use of an Illusion Talisman, but the Tongyou Institution only had 2 True Immortals, and one of them was missing!
