Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1099: Adding Fuel to the Fire

Actually, many True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World could tell that there were many suspicious points with Gu Chengwu’s death.

The Guyuan Elysium was heavily protected by formations and its location wasn’t something that could be revealed easily!

Even if the other party discovered the location of the Guyuan Elysium through its multiple layers of defenses, and had a strange talisman that could pierce through the spatial barrier, how would the other party be able to lock on to where Gu Chengwu was?

However... It didn’t matter if it was Yan Huayi or Lan Zhengfeng. Neither dug deep into the matter.

The other True Immortals were also unwilling to pry and with Yan Huayi and Lan Zhengfeng pointing their guns at the Star Beast Nest, everyone seemed to go along with the idea. It was as though they were planning to stand together to fight the outsider.

Yun Hu and Meng Han had been ready to fight each other earlier, but they seemed extremely enthusiastic to exterminate the Star Beast Nest in an attempt to prove their innocence.

Too bad for them, Yan Huayi didn’t allow them to head over in the end. He gave them a simple response, “Yan Wujiu and True Immortal Zhu are already there. They are second tier True Immortals and with Brother Lan added into the mix, even I wouldn’t be able to do anything to them. There’s no need for you 2 to go along. You should prepare for the fallout after we tear off the pretense with the Spirit Luxuriant World.”

The True Immortals above the heavenly screen scattered but all of them were thinking about the meaning behind Yan Huayi’s words as they left.

Not too long later, 2 streaks of light appeared above the heavenly screen of the Spirit Faith World and flew in different directions. They flew for hundreds of thousands of miles before changing directions. They made a giant loop before appearing in the void behind the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World.

The True Immortals seemed a little panicky when they arrived and the moment they saw each other Meng Han wanted to speak.

However, Yun Hu seemed to be even more impatient and he blurted, “There’s no time to talk about the details. After True Immortal Shang left, he said that he was going to kill Yan Wujiu! Even though we managed to hide the matter of our involvement in Gu Chengwu’s death, if he forces True Immortal Zhu to assist him in killing Yan Wujiu, I’m afraid our Ascendant Faction will fall out with the others immediately! We haven’t even made enough preparations yet!”

Unable to hold herself back any longer, Meng Han gasped, “But... Lan Zhengfeng has already rushed over! Brother Zhu really joins True Immortal Shang in attacking Yan Wujiu and runs into Lan Zhengfeng...”

“Pass down the order! Prepare to fight!” Yun Hu eventually sighed.

Meng Han quickly tried to reject the idea. “We can’t! It’s too early! There are so many things we haven’t prepared...”

“No plan is perfect. At the very least, compared to the native cultivators of the Spirit Faith World, we are dozens of years ahead of them in terms of preparations. Moreover, the interference of the Spirit Luxuriant World is also a godsent opportunity for us to make our move!” Yun Hu mumbled.

In the end, Meng Han could only reply in a low voice, “Are you really going to place so much trust in an outsider? Don’t forget... He’s the cause of this! His desire to kill Yan Wujiu is the reason we have to bring everything forward!”

Yun Hu couldn’t help but growl in response, “It’s true that he wishes for our Ascendant Faction to fall out with the native cultivators. However, his promise should hold true. Otherwise, he could have revealed my involvement in Gu Chengwu’s death instead of escaping from the world.”

Meng Han wanted to say something more, but Yun Hu made a gesture to stop her. “Our worlds will rise together, but we will also suffer together if we fail... With our desire to shake free of the Spirit Faith World’s control, even the best-case scenario will see us suffering great losses with the Spirit Faith World. After all... It’s a price we have to pay in order to bait the third party into taking action...”

Meng Han knew that it was unavoidable, and she could only try her best to salvage the situation. She eventually muttered, “Since that’s the case, I’ll go meet with the few of them. I’ll also send a secret transmission to Brother Zhu. I hope he receives it in time... Also, the moment we fall out, Brother Yun Hu, I’m afraid you will have to hold Yan Huayi back.”

...

The only reason Shang Xia informed Yun Hu that he wanted to kill Yan Wujiu before leaving was because he wanted to watch the world burn.

Compared to the countless years of preparations the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World made, the entry of the Spirit Luxuriant World is a huge accident.

Even though he and Yun Hu reached an agreement to attack the Spirit Faith World on 3 fronts, no one said anything about not stirring shit for each other. As such, Shang Xia was free to do as he wished.

After all... During the negotiations with Yun Hu and some basic knowledge from Zhu Honglin, Shang Xia gained a basic understanding of the strength of the high-level experts of the worlds.

Before the Spirit Luxuriant World entered the picture, the Three Worlds had 17 True Immortals combined!

Of those, 8 were native experts from the Spirit Faith World and there were 5 True Immortals led by Yun Hu from the Azure Intellect World. The last 4 came from the Azure Roaming World.

To be really honest, if Shang Xia wasn’t as ballsy as he was, he would have given up on the plan to attack the Spirit Faith World after learning their strength.

17 True Immortals... There was also a fourth tier Elysium True Immortal like Yan Huayi. Lan Zhengfeng was a True Immortal who wasn’t shackled to the world. Even if the Spirit Faith World wasn’t as strong as the monstrous Spirit Abundance World, they were leagues ahead of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

After all, the Spirit Luxuriant World only had 9 True Immortals at the moment, and those who had the qualifications to take part in the war that would break out among the Three Worlds were Kou Chongxue, Shang Xia, Huang Jinghan, and Lu Wuzi.

Yu Long, a first tier True Immortal who came from the Azure Intellect World was plotted against by the native experts of the Spirit Faith World and was killed.

Not too long later, Yun Hu took revenge on behalf of his world. Not only did he slay a second tier True Immortal with Shang Xia, he even destroyed an Elysium! The power of the Guyuan Elysium was also absorbed into the Carefree Elysium and returned to the Azure Intellect World, causing them great damage.

Even so... The Spirit Faith World still had a bunch of True Immortals!

If Shang Xia was able to kill Yan Wujiu, the experts of the Spirit Faith World would suffer yet another blow. When that happens, the moment the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World throw themselves in the mix, they would be able to fish for greater benefits.

Naturally, there was also something more important. It was that Shang Xia needed more time to inform the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World about what was happening. The benefits they would gain from splitting up a world like that weren’t something he could obtain when fighting alone.

With his Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman, he left the Guyuan Elysium and appeared 200,000 miles away from the heavenly screen.

The moment he appeared, he activated a rank five Five Element Teleportation Talisman. Even though it couldn’t be compared to the distance he could travel using the Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman, and it couldn’t bring him in an exact direction, an approximate location was good enough. Using one would allow him to travel through space much quicker.

Distancing himself by 100,000 or so miles again, Shang Xia completely shook off any threat of Elysium True Immortals.

Even if Lan Zhengfeng and Yun Hu started to chase him down at that very moment, he wouldn’t be afraid!

However, what he needed to do was to buy more time for himself. He needed to establish contact with the Spirit Luxuriant World as soon as possible to prevent any accidents from happening.

Because of that, he used everything in his arsenal. After using up a Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman and a Five Element Teleportation, he didn’t hesitate to activate a rank five Abyssal Emptiness Talisman. With that, he quickly traveled close to 100,000 miles in the void with his abilities.

The Abyssal Emptiness Talisman might not allow him to move instantaneously, but it greatly boosted his speed.

Shang Xia calculated the amount of energy he had left over and he discovered that he should retain a good portion of his inner qi to prepare for a huge battle ahead. In the end, he decided to fly while restoring his energy with high-grade essence crystals.

Just like that, even more time passed...

...

By the time he started to fly through space while restoring his energy with essence crystals, Lan Zhengfeng finally set off!

Shang Xia traveled close to 900,000 miles before he started to move!

According to his initial estimations, he started following the injured True Immortal Luo back then when he was 100,000 miles away from the Star Beast Nest. They traveled close to 1,000,000 miles before he discovered the heavenly screen of the Spirit Faith World.

If his calculations were right, the Star Beast Nest would be within 1,300,000 miles and 1,500,000 miles from the Spirit Faith World! Shang Xia had already covered two-thirds of the distance.

Outside the Star Beast Nest, Yan Wujiu joined hands with True Immortal Zhu to mess with the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

It was especially so since Shang Xia escaped from their encirclement and infiltrated the Spirit Faith World. After they received news of it, they realized that something was off and started a stronger round of harassment against Huang Jinghan in the Star Beast Nest. Their assault was intense, and it seemed as though a great battle between True Immortals would break out at any moment!

The cultivators left in the Star Beast Nest were few and far between, and they were prepared to run back to the Spirit Luxuriant World at any time.

Moreover, Kou Chongxue and Lu Wuzi were ready to head over to the Star Beast Nest to back them up.

With things in such a state, Shang Xia was drawing closer and closer to the Star Beast Nest and he would soon be discovered by Yan Wujiu and True Immortal Zhu.
