Splitting the Heavens

“However… This sounds more like a massive conspiracy…” Kou Chongxue chuckled coldly, “If it’s so easy to enter the Martial Void Realm, why would our world only possess 13 True Immortals?”

Along with the growth of the Spirit Luxuriant World, they continued to interact with other worlds. The various powers gradually got to know about the cap on True Immortals of a Spirit World.

From that point alone, the great powers that possessed True Immortals were already leagues ahead of them. They were starting to expand their influence as much as possible.

The most obvious show of strength was how every single True Immortal came from the great powers and the great powers alone.

Every single Elysium had 2 or more experts in the Martial Void Realm, and the only ones who were different were Lu Wuzi and Yin Jingxu. However, Lu Wuzi used to come from the Northern Sea Mystic Sect, leaving Yin Jingxu as the only expert who hailed from a faction of his own.

Of course… The ancient inheritance they were in possession of was the reason behind his rise.

Regardless, learning that there was a limit to the number of True Immortals a Spirit World could hold was as if a fuse had been lit among the high-level experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Alas… No lucky soul managed to successfully enter the Martial Void Realm other than those from the great powers.

“Those people who tried might be in too much of a rush, or they might just be unlucky. If they were patient enough to wait for 2 years, they might be able to succeed when you bring the world fragment back…” Kou Chongxue chuckled in a cold voice, but he didn’t seem to have a favorable opinion of those experts who tried to advance.

“Will there be anyone who tries to collude with foreign worlds?” Shang Xia thought of another important implication.

It was painfully obvious. After all, be it the Spirit Abundance World, Spirit Mammoth World, or the Star Origin Dao Field… None of them wished to see a rapidly progressing Spirit Luxuriant World. Even the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World might not be willing to watch their allies grow stronger and spoil the balance in strength.

At the end of the day, the Spirit Worlds and the Star Origin Dao Field were still competing against each other.

Kou Chongxue laughed, “Relax. The situation within our world is still under control. However, there’s something else I need you to take part in. Actually, if you didn’t return, I would contact you with our secret art in a year and a half or so.”

Seeing how serious Kou Chongxue was, Shang Xia couldn’t help but frown. “What’s the matter?”

“It’s the Essence Ping World!” Kou Chongxue spoke of a name that caused Shang Xia’s heart to thump. “The Spirit Abundance World, Spirit Mammoth World, and the Star Origin Dao Field seem ready to make their move on the Essence Ping World!”

“How are they so confident they will succeed?” Shang Xia couldn’t help but wonder out loud.

Since he could basically confirm that the Star Origin Lord was in the Essence Ping World and was trying to replace the World’s Will with his soul, he wondered how the Spirit Worlds and the Star Origin Dao Field would dare to invade the Essence Ping World.

Even if the Star Origin Lord’s soul was locked in battle with the Essence Ping World’s Will, he was an existence close to the grand completion stage of the Martial Emptiness Realm and might be able to enter the Eighth Order…

That was the Eighth Order they were talking about! It was a realm no one dared to dream of!

Be it Shang Xia or Kou Chongxue, they didn’t even know what it was called!

If a Martial Emptiness Realm Sage could annihilate an Azure World, destroying a Spirit World would be nothing for an existence at the Eighth Order…

Seemingly able to detect Shang Xia’s shock, Kou Chongxue explained, “They’re planning to surround the region around the Essence Ping World. Moreover, they also plan to nourish the world so that the World’s Will would be able to resist the Star Origin Lord’s soul and restrain it to a greater extent.”

His explanation cleared the fog up for Shang Xia instantly. They were planning to slowly grind away at the Star Origin Lord’s soul!

After thinking for some time, Shang Xia asked, “Are the 3 of them the only powers taking part in the operation?”

Kou Chongxue laughed, “Of course not. The Star Origin Dao Field extended the invitation to the Spirit Thistle World, Spirit Tinkle World, and us. However… Only high-level True Immortals are qualified to take part in the operation.”

Nodding slowly, Shang Xia understood that if the Star Origin Dao Field were to really work together with the 2 great Spirit Worlds, the Spirit Thistle World, Spirit Tinkle World, and their Spirit Luxuriant World wouldn’t be able to sit still.

“So… Your breakthrough to the fifth tier came at the perfect time!” Kou Chongxue burst into laughter after he spoke.

Shang Xia agreed, but he was still filled with a strange sense of anxiety.

He understood that the Star Origin Dao Field and the 2 great Spirit Worlds were probably making their move on the Essence Ping World because they had no other choice.

“Sending the Spirit World Ark back to our world will take some time and I have to escort it personally. Please take care of the preparations back in our world.” Shang Xia eventually spoke after making his calculations.

“Yeah.” Kou Chongxue grunted, “This is the best chance for Sun Haiwei and Ge Qingzhu to break through… I still need to think of the best way to split up the world fragment… Alright, I’m in no rush to go back. What do you think if we…”

…

When Shang Xia left the Star Beast Nest, he secretly brought 20 experts of the Tongyou Institution away, including Hai Yuanyuan who had just completed the fourth round of her fate dipper essence refinement.

Kou Chongxue left long ago after verifying the plan to split up the world fragment.

Now that he was bringing back a Spirit World fragment, the Spirit Luxuriant World’s growth would be greatly accelerated, and the Tongyou Institution also hoped to gain the biggest share of the pie.

With the addition of 20 mid to high-level experts of the institution, Song Zhen was no longer stuck in a tough spot when driving the Spirit World Ark.

Of those who were brought by Shang Xia, a bunch of them were from the Formation Hall. After laying down some formations on the ark to establish a connection with their Star Observatory back in the Tongyou Elysium, they went straight to the world fragment to study the intricate formations around it to see how it was transported.

Even though it was all of their first time trying to navigate an ark, they learned quickly under Shang Xia and Song Zhen’s tutelage. Not only were the True Immortals able to hand over a good portion of their responsibilities, the Spirit World Ark also traveled much faster than before.

Some time passed, and eventually, the Spirit World Ark emerged from chaotic space and arrived in the region of space around the Spirit Luxuriant World.

The moment they arrived, they no longer required the guidance of the Star Observatory. Shang Xia could rely on his soul brand on the world to determine where they should travel.

As they accelerated, Shang Xia could feel that the Spirit Luxuriant World was extremely excited about his return.

At the same time, a strange feeling of being spied on arrived, and Shang Xia instantly recognized where it came from. The Stargazers of the Heavenly Star Palace probably discovered them!
