Splitting the Heavens

In Star Beast Nest No.1…

Kou Chongxue stared at the Starlight Silk before him with a strange expression and heard what happened during their deal from Shang Xia.

When he was done, Kou Chongxue asked hesitantly, “Do you think… Do you think he actually wanted to give you these Starlight Silk anyway and was merely finding an excuse to do so?”

After thinking for a moment, Shang Xia muttered, “No matter what, I feel like he’s a simple man… He didn’t plan on hiding his goal of handing us Starlight Silk either and he probably hopes that we will take the frontline during the battle with the Star Origin Dao Field…”

“Is that it?! Is that all?!” Kou Chongxue frowned. He didn’t quite believe what he was hearing.

Shang Xia knew that Kou Chongxue hadn’t seen the entire process of their exchange and even if he did, he would only suspect that True Immortal Geng had his own goal. In the end, he sighed helplessly, “No matter what, the secrets he revealed about the Star Origin Dao Field is pretty much true.”

Kou Chongxue didn’t know what True Immortal Geng was playing at, and he eventually turned his attention to the Starlight Silk Shang Xi obtained and he asked, “What do you plan to do with these? Are you planning to make them into Star Robes? How should you deal with the Variant Formation Talismans on them in that case? You can’t possibly personally inscribe the talisman on them individually, right?”

“From the replica Star Robes True Immortal Shao of the Spirit Tinkle World provided… It seems like those talismans were individually inscribed…” Shang Xia muttered.

“In that case, the replica Star Robes they gave us shouldn’t be able to be reused, right? Otherwise, why would they give it to us so easily?” Kou Chongxue frowned.

After a short moment of contemplation, Shang Xia sighed, “Let’s ask the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World for help… We can’t do everything ourselves, right? There’s also the matter of the battle formation itself. It would be best if they get dragged into this to prevent Feng Ziying’s involvement from being exposed.”

Kou Chongxue glanced at him before nodding slowly. “This is very reasonable…”

…

After returning to the Spirit Luxuriant World, Shang Xia heard that the various powers were still gathering to slay sea spiritual beasts and he didn’t care much about them.

Instead, the matter of 3 new Holy Lands caught his attention. They were created after the integration of the world fragment of the Spirit Dusk World and 1 of them appeared in the Shu Continent, vying for control with the Jianmen Institution. It was also said that the Yuanchen Sect was supporting them.

The other appeared in the Sha Continent, which was even more desolate than the Bing Continent the Ice Essence Sect established itself. With their development, every single continent of the Spirit Luxuriant World finally possessed a Holy Land at the very least.

Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia might have integrated the world fragment into the Hai Continent, the You Continent, the Bing Continent, the Yan Continent, the Ji Continent, and the Liao Continent, but the world origin the world fragment contained benefited the other continents as well.

The other factions were able to draw on the world origin from the World Origin Source, and the world grew as a whole. Naturally, the more barren the continent was, the more they benefited from it. The Sha Continent was the most barren of them all and that was why they gained the most…

After Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue returned to the institution, they went to the Star Observatory immediately.

When they arrived, a stone platform that held a thick bronze book slowly rose.

It was the first time Ge Qingzhu saw the secret bronze book which was a guarded secret in the Tongyou Institution by both high-level True Immortals, which was also known as the Star Map.

Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue, Yuan Qiuyuan, Sun Haiwei, and a select few experts were the only ones who knew of its existence. The only reason Sun Haiwei and the others knew was also because they were the ones who discovered it in the first place.

In the past, Kou Chongxue opened the first 2 pages of the Star Map, showing the location of the Spirit Luxuriant World on the first page and the Azure Flame World on the second. The Azure Flame World was a key reason behind the rise of the Spirit Luxuriant World and the Tongyou Institution, and they would never forget it.

With the help of Xin Lu and Yuan Qiuyuan, they opened the third page, finding the ruins of another world. It was where Kou Chongxue first came into contact with the Essence Refining Void Returning Formation that Tong Yutang was using to advance to the fourth tier.

After that, neither of them continued to flip through the Star Map. Their cultivation rose rapidly after and Yuan Qiuyuan’s art of stargazing also improved. Despite that, they never brought out the Star Map.

The reason was simple. As they forced the pages open, the carvings on the different pages were showing signs of fading. It was especially so when Shang Xia used his tyrannical Six Harmony inner qi to do so. Every time they forcefully removed the restrictions on each page, they caused irreversible damage to it.

Since Yuan Qiuyuan finally became a Grand Stargazer and his inheritance came from the Heaven Observation Sect the Star Origin Dao Field had kept for many years, along with the situation of the Heaven Observation Field becoming far too urgent to ignore, Kou Chongxue felt that it was time to open the Star Map again.

The first 3 pages of the Star Map were open and all 3 True Immortals stood in 3 different directions with Yuan Qiuyuan standing right in front of the Star Map. With a warm smile on his face, Kou Chongxue asked, “How is it? Are you confident to flip open the rest of the pages?”

Yuan Qiuyuan had a strange expression on his face when he heard what Kou Chongxue said. He lightly touched the fourth page and under the sluggish gazes of the rest, it was separated from the rest of the book.

“You… You flipped it just like that?!” Ge Qingzhu gasped while looking at Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue. It seemed like he was chiding them for acting like opening a new page was a difficult task.

Shang Xia pretty much failed to maintain his composure and he grumbled, “There has to be some sort of trick behind it… Little Yuan, what do you say?”

Yuan Qiuyuan looked at Shang Xia before looking at the rest and mumbled softly, “I… I just thought that I would be able to open it easily and it opened…”

Ge Qingzhu’s shoulders trembled as he tried to hold back his laughter.

Kou Chongxue’s expression didn’t change as he acted as though he had seen through everything.

Shang Xia seemed to have learned the art of being shameless from Kou Chongxue well in recent years and he quickly composed himself. He turned to Yuan Qiuyuan to ask, “So… Where is the location recorded on the map?”

“From the looks of it, it should be the Essence Ping World!” Yuan Qiuyuan said with certainty without even looking at the map again. He had been observing the region of space since Shang Xia discovered it a long time ago and he was no stranger to it.

To put it in perspective, the fourth page of the Star Map brought them no benefits.

A light flashed in Kou Chongxue’s eyes and he asked suddenly, “Little Yuan, are you able to continue flipping through the pages?”

“Probably…” Yuan Qiuyuan nodded slowly.

After he spoke, he reached for the next page. This time, it looked a lot more difficult than before.

Once he flipped the page, he gasped and introduced before Shang Xia asked, “This seems to be the location of the Spirit Faith World and its affiliated worlds…”

The True Immortals exchanged a glance before Ge Qingzhu sighed, “It’s another place we already know… Don’t tell me the next page contains the location of the Essence Xing World…”

Kou Chongxue indicated for Yuan Qiuyuan to try flipping to the next page, but Yuan Qiuyuan seemed to hesitate as he turned serious. He didn’t reach for it immediately. Instead, he formed a hand seal and started to gather starlight from the Star Observatory.

With the energy that was gathered in his palm, he strained himself to flip open the 6th page.

Ge Qingzhu craned his neck over to take a look and mumbled, “It won’t really be the Essence Xing World, right?”

Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia turned to look at Yuan Qiuyuan in unison.

Yuan Qiuyuan looked perplexed, and after some hesitation, he gathered the starlight on the Star Map, producing a mighty chart in the air. A mighty scene was painted in front of them.

“It’s not the Essence Xing World.” Yuan Qiuyuan’s claim caused the True Immortals to feel a wave of excitement, but he quickly continued, “But… This world should be outside the Star Curtain and it won’t be easily located…”
