Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1584: Zhuo Gudao, Spirit Observation World

In the Tongyou Elysium of the Spirit Luxuriant World, Ge Qingzhu and Dou Zhong had gathered to watch Shang Xia’s creation of his External Avatar.

As world origin from the Crimson Soul Tablet poured into the figure that was pretty much identical to him, Shang Xia’s eyes snapped open suddenly. He seemed to have attempted something as he grunted once while his complexion turned slightly pale.

Both Ge Qingzhu and Dou Zhong were familiar with the process of creating an External Avatar. They knew that he was in the process of extracting a portion of his soul. The final step was crucial to the success of the creation of his External Avatar.

The creation of his External Avatar might be unrelated to them, but watching it for themselves made their hearts palpitate in anticipation.

Shang Xia’s External Avatar, whose eyes had been closed, slowly opened them. As soon as it did, a spirited flash entered his glass-like eyes, giving it life. Looking around, Shang Xia’s External Avatar slowly started to move his body. His aura also started to rise rapidly until it reached the level of a high-level True Immortal.

Watching it happen, Ge Qingzhu and Dou Zhong understood that Shang Xia succeeded.

Shang Xia’s External Avatar, who was originally seated in a lotus position, stood up. He mastered the control of his body before bowing to Shang Xia and the other True Immortals. “Greetings, true body. Greetings, fellow True Immortals.”

Shang Xia laughed heartily, "We are one and the same, no need for such formalities!"

This peculiar interaction with himself still felt extremely novel to him.

Ge Qingzhu and Dou Zhong quickly responded and bowed to his External Avatar, “No, no. True Immortal, you are too polite.”

Smiling, Shang Xia’s External Avatar turned to Shang Xia. “True body, I know what your plans are. Do you have any other instructions? If not, I will depart to Star Beast Nest No.1 now. Once I gather Zhu Nang and Yan Ming, I will head out to the suns discovered by Yuan Qiuyuan and Xin Lu. Once there, I will also attempt to refine their essence.”

After thinking for a moment, Shang Xia replied, "You are aware of my intentions, there are no further instructions. Just play it by ear and ensure the safety of Zhu Nang and Yan Ming."

His External Avatar roared with a hearty laugh, “Of course. Please rest assured. I will be on my way now!”

Once he spoke, he nodded slightly to Ge Qingzhu and Dou Zhong before leaving the Elysium. Without leaving any tracks behind, he silently departed for Star Beast Nest No.1.

As soon as his External Avatar departed, Ge Qingzhu and Dou Zhong recalled they hadn’t congratulated him on the successful creation of his External Avatar.

"From the aura of your External Avatar... He seems even stronger than your first External Avatar?” Dou Zhong asked. His grudge against Shang Xia had long since died. In recent years, he had been fostering a better relationship with Shang Xia had their regular interactions had become a lot more natural.

Shang Xia smiled. "He should possess combat strength at the peak of the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm. He should be more than capable of establishing himself in the Chaotic Sea of Stars.”

In the Chaotic Sea of Stars, only high-level True Immortals were qualified to establish a force of their own. Weaker True Immortals would only attack themselves to stronger factions or wander around alone.

Ge Qingzhu added, "You managed to save close to 40 percent of high-level resources when you created this External Avatar compared to the last...”

Shang Xia, somewhat embarrassed, touched his cheek.

Ge Qingzhu quickly continued, "Compared to the loss of those spiritual materials, a high-level True Immortal or two is extremely worth it! Hmm... Perhaps we should get Patriarch Kou to also create one...”

With his External Avatar sent out to explore the sea of stars to verify the positions of the suns that Yuan Qiuyuan and Xin Lu had located, Shang Xia could finally place all his focus on the matter of the Essence Ping World. After all... it was a ticking time bomb ready to explode.

After creating his External Avatar, Shang Xia didn’t stay in the Spirit Luxuriant World for long. He didn’t dare to leave the rest outside the Essence Ping World for such a long time either. Bidding Ge Qingzhu and Dou Zhong farewell, he quickly created a spatial tunnel to head to the Spirit Abundance World.

Just as Shang Xia was about to step out of the tunnel, it was struck by a mysterious and powerful interference. The twisting space didn’t shatter the tunnel instantly. Instead, they sliced at his body.

"No way I’m that unlucky to create a spatial tunnel straight into someone else’s battlefield...” Shang Xia mumbled to himself as he pressed his hands forward. He unleashed Void Seal to stop the fluctuating space around him before emerging from the tunnel. At the same time, he gathered more Six Direction Qi in his other hand and prepared to unleash the fifth move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique, Breaking World, at anyone who might be hidden. Whatever it was, he would fuck around and muddy the waters.

As soon as he emerged, he realized that the attack was not deliberately aimed at him. Neither was there a battle nearby. Instead, the void around him was in a strange state where there were unnatural twists.

"What's going on? Did the Star Origin Lord make a move?” Shang Xia gasped as the thought flashed through his mind. The void fluctuation wasn’t intense, but the scale had far exceeded what he could comprehend.

He felt that anyone who was capable of causing such a huge disturbance was definitely a Sage, but there was no way newly ascended Sages like Zhuo Gudao could do it.

After composing himself and locating where he was, Shang Xia looked for the source of the disturbance. Surprisingly, his judgment was wrong. It might actually have something to do with Zhuo Gudao.

Based on their direction, it came from the world carrying the Star Origin Dao Field.

Anyway, Shang Xia had no intention of finding out more. His best option was to meet up with Zuo Li and the other True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance.

Activating his Star Compass, Shang Xia managed to locate Kou Chongxue through the resonance of the compasses. Once he confirmed the direction, he immediately set off to join them.

This time, he didn’t dare to create more spatial tunnels to travel through the void., he flew slowly while muttering to himself, “Heh... Zhuo Gudao and his Star Origin Dao Field seem pretty angry...”
