Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1585: Zhuo Gudao, Spirit Observation World Pt.2

When Shang Xia found the True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance, he was surprised to see another high-level True Immortal among them. Luan Jingyi of the Spirit Thistle World replaced a third tier True Immortal of her world.

Excluding Shang Xia’s transcendent presence, 5 of the 7 True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance were high-level True Immortals.

In terms of individual cultivation, the True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance were not far behind those of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World. Their combined battle formation was also on par with the Star Origin Lord Manor.

After greeting Luan Jingyi, Shang Xia immediately asked everyone about the cause of the large-scale spatial fluctuations in the void.

The answer was indeed as Shang Xia had guessed. The world carrying the Star Origin Dao Field had broken through the chaotic streams around the Spirit Abundance World under Zhuo Gudao’s control and had entered the playing field.

Since it was an entire world that arrived, the spatial fluctuations were naturally massive and long-lasting.

"Then... Were there anyone who made any unusual movements?” Shang Xia casually inquired.

To his displeasure, the information provided by Zuo Li made Shang Xia frown.

"When the Star Origin Dao Field entered the scene, the Spirit Abundance World actively drew on the Frost Wave.”

Zuo Li explained further, "According to information from the Spirit Mammoth World, the commotion you caused inside the Essence Ping World led to the Star Origin Lord losing control over two continents. The number of continents under the control of the World’s Will increased from 6 to 8. It even showed signs of retaliating against the Star Origin Lord. However, the Spirit Abundance World’s actions can be described as pulling the rug out from under the Essence Ping World’s Will’s feet. The Star Origin Lord reclaimed another continent...”

"Is there any other news?" Shang Xia continued to ask, but his expression was as ugly as could be.

Kou Chongxue hesitated before he spoke up, "There is news that Spirit Abundance World seems to have organized a group of cultivators at the Martial Extermination Realm and the Martial Dipper Realm. They took advantage of the opening in the heavenly screen when they drew out the Frost Wave to enter the Essence Ping World.”

"Huh, what are they trying to do?" Shang Xia was puzzled but then noticed a change in Kou Chongxue's expression. He knew it wasn’t a question the patriarch could answer with so many people present.

After discussing the recent events with the 7 True Immortals, Shang Xia finally had time to talk privately with Kou Chongxue.

"Is there something wrong?" Shang Xia noticed the change in Kou Chongxue’s expression earlier.

Kou Chongxue hummed softly before turning serious. "Yuanyuan went there too...”

"Yuanyuan? WHERE?!” Shang Xia’s eyes widened in shock after processing what Kou Chongxue said. “She... She went to the Essence Ping World?! How the fuck did she sneak past the True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World?”

Kou Chongxue sighed, "We have several information channels in the Spirit Abundance World. The girl probably barged into the Spirit Abundance World on her own before following them into the Essence Ping World... In fact, even if the True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World discovered her, they probably wouldn’t intervene.”

Facing Shang Xia's puzzled look, Kou Chongxue explained, "The Martial Extermination Realm and Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World might not know what they’re getting themselves into. After all... Who would actually throw themselves willingly into a mess involving a powerful Martial Emptiness Realm Sage? Since that lass walked into the trap herself, even if the True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World found out, wouldn’t stop her. In fact, they might have watched her enter with their own eyes...”

After pausing, Kou Chongxue continued, "Of course, it's also because that lass really has amazing movement art..."

Seeing how Shang Xia’s expression was getting uglier by the second, Kou Chongxue didn’t continue to mess around. Instead, he changed his tone and mumbled, “That lass is a real genius... Nothing will happen to her and she won’t get herself into trouble easily. You don’t have to worry too much.”

Shang Xia understood that worrying was useless and after calming himself, he sighed, “Looks like I need to make another trip into the Essence Ping World...”

With his eyes widening in shock, Kou Chongxue yelled, “don’t be rash! You already caused such a huge commotion in the Essence Ping World and the Star Origin Lord definitely noticed you. If you return now, won’t it be a death trap?”

Shang Xia’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He clearly wasn’t taking Kou Chongxue’s warning to heart and he asked after some time, “By the way, why did the Spirit Abundance World send those cultivators into the Essence Ping World?”

Kou Chongxue shook his head. "It seems to be the decision of the high-level experts of the Spirit Abundance World. Anyway, we haven’t heard anything about it. You can ask Xiong Xin about it...”

Shang Xia was momentarily taken aback. After composing himself, he muttered, “Right, did Xiong Xin and Yuan Chan look for me?”

Kou Chongxue nodded. "They did seek you out just before the Spirit Observation World entered this region of space. Both of them sent a clone to invite you for a discussion, but after hearing that you returned to our world, they left. They hadn’t been back since.”

Shang Xia fell silent for a moment and he was unsure why they were looking for him. He knew that it had something to do with Zhuo Gudao or the Star Origin Lord. However, he quickly noticed the name of the world Kou Chongxue used.

"Spirit Observation World?" Shang Xia repeated in surprise. "Is that the name of the new Spirit World formed by the merging of the Azure Sea World and Azure Star World?”

"Yeah, although the large-scale void turbulence has prevented us from getting more information about the interior of the Spirit Observation World or establishing contact with our spies in Star Origin City, our initial assessments suggest that the development of this new Spirit World is at least on par with the Spirit Tinkle World before it suffered from the attack from the other worlds.”

Despite prior speculation that the presence of the Star Origin Dao Field would ensure that the Spirit Observation World wouldn’t be weak, the discovery still shocked them.

Kou Chongxue then brought the conversation back to Xiong Xin and Yuan Chan. “You should look for Xiong Xin and Yuan Chan to see if you can learn anything...”

Shang Xia was about to respond when he suddenly sensed someone approaching from the direction of the spatial disturbances.

Signaling to Kou Chongxue, they quickly met up with the experts of the 3 World Alliance.

The next moment, a small-scale Star Ship emerged from the depths of the void.

"Members from Star Origin City?” Zuo Li, with his keen vision, immediately recognized the identities of the people on board.

As it approached, 2 figures on the deck stared back at them.

Although still a considerable distance apart, Shang Xia noticed the figures on the deck and instinctively glanced at Kou Chongxue, who wore an expressionless face.

Shang Xia quickly composed himself and he quickly scolded himself for not being as composed as Kou Chongxue.

At the side, Qi Guan casually commented, “Oh? Those are the 2 new Camp Commanders of the Star Origin Guards. One of them is called Feng Ziyuan and the other is Feng Ziying. Even though their names make it sound like they’re siblings, they’re not related by blood... However... They seem to have a rather ambiguous relationship.”

Shang Xia didn’t look surprised at all. Instead, the originally calm Kou Chongxue turned to shoot Shang Xia a strange gaze.
