Splitting the Heavens

With the Star Origin Dao Field shooting the starting pistol, the Spirit Abundance World, Spirit Mammoth World, and the alliance of the 3 lesser Spirit Worlds started to prepare for the operation to the Essence Ping World. News regarding the Heaven Observation Field, Star Origin Lord, Essence Ping World, and Martial Emptiness Realm Sages started to spread through the Star Origin City and the worlds connected to it.

The topic spread like wildfire, and it continued to spread, there were those who twisted what they heard, exaggerated, or even ignored them completely.

Whatever it was, there was a piece of information that was consistent throughout. More than a single faction seemed to be intentionally fanning the flames. Not only did everyone pay more attention to it, but even the higher-ups of the Star Origin Dao Field and the Spirit Worlds heard about it.

“The Spirit Abundance World has been absorbing the frost qi leaking from the Essence Ping World with their Elysium Grand Formation for the past hundreds of years… They have been intentionally weakening the World’s Will to assist the Star Origin Lord’s recovery!”

Clearly, rumors like that couldn’t be created by ordinary experts. Just the Essence Ping World alone wasn’t something they could easily spread the name of around. The true upper echelon of the various worlds understood that someone was intentionally revealing the information and from the looks of it, it was extremely likely the source was reliable.

Moreover… The true intentions of the people spreading the news intentionally spread information about sensitive information like the Essence Ping World, Elysium Grand Formation, frost qi, and the Star Origin Lord was to catch as much attention as possible.

Transmission talismans flew everywhere and the various worlds quickly learned about it. Even some Azure Worlds learned about them.

…

Not too long after Shang Xia silently infiltrated the Spirit Abundance World with his Six Harmony Teleportation Formation, the rumor didn’t just continue to spread. It was quickly verified by experts of the various worlds and the Star Origin Dao Field!

In the northern region of the Spirit Abundance World, Shang Xia strolled about the Heavenly Lake City disguised as a wandering doctor. He was yelling to promote his services as he made his way down the street, and he only stopped after he arrived at an outdoor food stall. He smelled an amazing aroma and a sudden feeling of temptation washed over him and he quickly found a seat before ordering a bowl of piping hot wontons and 2 baked sesame cakes.

While waiting for his food, he looked really interested in the weather the city was experiencing and he raised his head to stare at the clouds above. He seemed really content with life.

Above the heavenly screen where mortals couldn’t see past, Shang Xia could see 9 intense spots of light as the world origin of the Spirit Abundance World was drawn towards them. Layers of light screens appeared around the 9 balls of world origin before covering the rest of the world. Even the World’s Will seemed to be affected as it prepared to deal with external threats.

“Oh? Did the rumors finally spread too far? Is the Spirit Mammoth World and the Star Origin Dao Field finally making their move?” Shang Xia chuckled as he thought back to what Zhang Xuansheng said. While he was thinking, he received the bowl of wontons and slurped up one of them, tasting the succulent meat and paper-thin skin.

When Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue looked for Zhang Xuansheng back then, the old monster had already guessed that Shang Xia was planning to infiltrate the Spirit Abundance World. That was also why he gave away the piece of heavenly screen that was supposed to be a core treasure of the Northern Sea Mystic Sect. He even informed them of the Spirit Abundance World’s inability to restore its 24th continent unless certain conditions were met. Once the remnant energy that came from the terrifying blow was finally removed, the Spirit Luxuriant World would be able to restore their continent and repair their heavenly screen.

As for where the 24th continent would be… The decision had long since been made by the Spirit Abundance World and was hiding in plain sight. It would be where the Xuanming Continent once was, where the Azure Island was currently located!

The Azure Island and its Elysium were created as a fortress to resist the Frost Wave and they had been tempered for hundreds of years with the world origin of the Essence Ping World. Even though the effects of the Frost Wave would cause great damage every time, the benefits they gained were definitely more than their losses. The moment a new continent was established, they would immediately be able to replace the Xuanming Sect as one of the strongest factions in their world.

Zhang Xuansheng’s meaning of giving Shang Xia the piece of heavenly screen was probably because he felt it was most likely Shang Xia was going to mess with Azure Island. Of course, that was the easiest way to cause trouble for the Spirit Abundance World and would make the greatest impact.

However… Shang Xia seemed more comfortable to start the entire operation from the eastern region of the Spirit Abundance World which he was the most familiar with.

Lowering his head to take a bite of his sesame cake, Shang Xia could feel that foreign high-level True Immortals had arrived. Moreover, there was most definitely more than 1. Otherwise, the Spirit Abundance World wouldn’t have activated their Elysium Grand Formation.

The only question Shang Xia had was if they would actually come to blows!

He clearly hoped that the battle would start as soon as possible and for it to be as intense as it could be. The best case would be for a few powerful experts to beat each other to death such that there would be no dissolving the grudge between these great powers.

Well… He wasn’t the only one thinking that way. Experts of other worlds were most likely hoping for the same thing!

However… It seemed as though the higher-ups of the Spirit Abundance World and those who came were intentionally restraining themselves. They didn’t start fighting immediately. Despite that, from how the Spirit Abundance World immediately activated their Elysium Grand Formation, it was clear the pressure they were feeling was great.

The other factions’ stance was quite obvious. Even though they didn’t seem like they were going to fight, from the looks of it, they were definitely going to force the Spirit Abundance World to give up something.

At the very least, the members of the Star Origin Dao Field wouldn’t allow them to continue absorbing energy from the Frost Wave. They might even be hastening them to quickly close up the gap in the heavenly screen or the weakness in the spatial barrier around the Essence Ping World that was causing the leak.

As for the Spirit Mammoth World… They were most likely unwilling to see the Spirit Abundance World ascending to an Essence World before them.

Whatever it was, how could the weaknesses in the heavenly screen of the Spirit Abundance World and Essence Ping World be closed up so easily?

Also, more importantly, with the various factions getting ready to invade the Essence Ping World, they understood that the Spirit Abundance World probably knew a lot more about the Essence Ping World than any of them.

The Spirit Mammoth World and Star Origin Dao Field would definitely force some information out of them…

After thinking so far, Shang Xia narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the banner he placed on the table beside him with the words ‘Instant Treatment’ written on it.

A frown slowly formed on his face, “Zhang Xuansheng’s plan wasn’t to make me bring this back to the Spirit Abundance World so that they can close up their heavenly screen so that they can’t make any excuses to the others, right?!”

Fortunately, he quickly dispelled the thought after a little more consideration.

The uses of the banner were exactly as Zhang Xuansheng had described. It would be extremely useful once he went to the northern region. However… Shang Xia had another easier and more straightforward method to deal with all of them.

Tossing several copper plates onto the table, Shang Xia grabbed the banner and started to walk towards the Five Links Ridge.

It was much easier for him to infiltrate the Spirit Abundance World, but Shang Xia was a lot more careful than before.

The reason it became easier was because he no longer used the Five Element Teleportation Formation, but the even stronger Six Harmony Teleportation Formation. He could choose the direction he wished to travel in and he arrived in the Heavenly Lake Continent the moment he entered the world.

As for why he was even more careful… That was because he could feel a lot more True Immortals in the Spirit Abundance World at the moment. There was also no lack of high-level True Immortals. It was something he didn’t feel when he came the last time.

It seemed as though all the high-level True Immortals or other ordinary True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World had returned from the Star Beast Nests or whatever stronghold they had outside.

Shang Xia’s secret art could allow him to transform his aura to avoid the rejection of the World’s Will, but that would only hold if he didn’t reveal his true strength to fight anyone. The moment he took action, news of his presence would immediately spread through their world.

However, with the banner that was created with the heavenly screen in hand, Shang Xia would be able to seal off the space around wherever he took action and avoid the suppression of the World’s Will. In fact, the region of space would be separated such that the impact of the battle would be greatly reduced.

…

After leaving Heavenly Lake City, Shang Xia quickly arrived at the foot of the Five Links Ridge.

The Five Links Ridge was just a massive mountain with a heavenly lake at the very top. The reason behind the name was because of 5 smaller hills around the heavenly lake.

Returning to where he once messed around, he discovered that the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake was a lot more flourishing than before. At the very least, there were a lot more young cultivators which brought quite a bit of life to the region.

When he first arrived in the Five Links Ridge, Dugu Yuanshan had just been killed by the combined efforts of the Spirit Luxuriant World and Shang Xia played a crucial role in grinding away his soul. The entire sect was in a state of despair and there was an aura of desolation that surrounded them. Many young talents from the sect left, and the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake looked to be in a bleak state.

They welcomed a foreign True Immortal soon after, but because Tang Yu was sealed into the Elysium and forced to become the Elysium Immortal, a huge wave was kicked up in the Spirit Abundance World.

Well… Shang Xia caused it anyway and he watched everything as it happened. [1]

The only thing he wanted to know at that moment was how she was doing! [2]

Looking at the situation with the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake, Shang Xia wondered if she had already accepted her fate of being plotted against by the Heaven Embroidery Palace.

When he was slowly climbing to the peak like an ordinary cultivator, a powerful wave of qi could be felt coming from the distance. It seemed to have caught his attention and he decided to start walking towards the disturbance.
