Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1112: Sweeping Up The Mo Continent

The Guyuan Sect was located in the Mo Continent of the Spirit Faith World, but their influence actually reached over 3 other continents. Namely the Wu, Shen, and You[1] Continents.

It was said that before the Spirit Faith World ascended into its current state, they had 12 continents and they were named according to the 12 Earthly Branches. The continent that the Guyuan Sect established itself on was also the most ancient of the four continents.

However, after the ascension, the Spirit Faith World started to expand and there were more continents after their promotion to a Spirit World.

Back then, the Three Worlds worked together to destroy the Spirit Emptiness W world and the Spirit Faith World drew the greatest amount of world essence back to their world. Most of it also fell into the hands of the Heavenly Feather Sect and Fengyuan Sect...

That was also when Gu Chengwu managed to enter the Martial Void Realm and established the Guyuan Elysium. Without the support of the 2 strongest factions, he wouldn’t have been able to control 4 continents!

Along with Yun Hu and Shang Xia’s surprise attack on the Guyuan Elysium, they killed Gu Chengwu and completely destroyed the Guyuan Elysium. Close to a hundred years of glory was destroyed in an instant!

Along with their destruction, everything they controlled fell into chaos. Chu Honglin, who received some tips from Shang Xia back then, managed to contact his friend to leave the sect for some time. That elder and himself managed to avoid calamity when Shang Xia took action.

That elder was the person Zhu Honglin had been relying on and his status in the Guyuan Sect wasn't low. His cultivation was also in the third element of the Martial Void Realm and he quickly managed to gather his forces after everything fell into chaos. With Zhu Honglin’s support and guidance, he arranged for a good portion of resources to be kept aside. He could use it to revive the Guyuan Sect or to establish another faction of his own.

At the same time, he used his connections and power to gather resources from the other continents and he basically swept up whatever he could.

He might not have been able to gather all the resources due to the trouble in the other continents, but as he was the fastest and most resolute in his actions, he managed to gather a bunch of precious resources.

Before the Guyuan Sect established their Elysium, they already had hundreds of years of history. In the dozens of years after they became an Elysium, they received massive support from the Heavenly Feather Sect and Fengyuan Sect, and the essence of the continents they controlled gathered in the Mo Continent. They could even ask for any resources they wanted from the other 2 great powers and they would get them without a problem.

Even though the essence of the Elysium should contain all their resources and energy, a good portion remained in other parts of the sect that hadn’t collapsed.

With the high-level experts of the Guyuan Sect being slain by Shang Xia when he killed Gu Chengwu, the elder who was saved by Zhu Honglin and had cultivation in the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm could be considered an impressive figure in the sect. With the support of Zhu Honglin and his Chilin Gang, he firmly managed to establish himself in Tonggu City with all his resources.

Just as the elder was feeling ambitious and was planning to use the resources he salvaged for himself, the Star Ship fleet of the Spirit Luxuriant World arrived!

Their entry threw the continents into even more chaos.

The elder of the Guyuan Sect who survived was someone who had been through the extermination of the Spirit Emptiness World back then, and he quickly instructed everyone to not panic as the experts of the foreign world descended. He understood that they would be greatly suppressed by the World’s Will, and would be weaker than cultivators of the same level. That was the method the Spirit Faith World used to lure in an elite batch of experts of the Spirit Emptiness World before killing them all! It dealt a heavy blow to the collective strength of the Spirit Emptiness World, leading to their eventual victory.

After reassuring those under him, the elder quickly came up with the next step. It was to contact the remnants of the Guyuan Sect and stop them from infighting. The most important thing they had to do was to deal with the outsiders’ invasion!

As for what came next... He would naturally have to contact the Heavenly Feather Sect and Fengyuan Sect for support!

One had to say that the elder who survived managed to keep a clear mind and think his actions through. It was no wonder he had been able to gather such a sizable force to begin with.

It was a shame his foundation in Tonggu City was basically built on a pile of sand. If they had to say who held absolute authority in the city, local powers like the Chilin Gang who had been operating for more than tens of years would be one. What was more, Shang Xia was the behemoth standing behind the Chilin Gang at the moment!

Everything the elder of the Guyuan Sect did merely helped Shang Xia to bolster his gains. He practically gathered the remaining essence of the Guyuan Sect for Shang Xia as that was Shang Xia’s task for Zhu Honglin the entire time.

Everything would benefit the Tongyou Institution in the end!

When the fleet entered the Spirit Faith World, a good portion of them contained mainly experts of the Tongyou Institution, and a portion of high-level experts from the Bing, Jiao, and Liao Continents went straight for the Mo Continent.

There was no doubt about it. The Spirit Luxuriant World’s goal was the 4 continents under the Guyuan Sect’s influence, and the richest continent of them all was the Mo Continent! Most of the essence it contained would definitely belong to Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue!

That wasn’t actually how they planned to split the gains of the expedition, but with Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue’s overwhelming strength and ability to take part in the battle as Free True Immortals, they turned everything in their favor!

As for the high-level experts from the other continents... Those of the Bing Continent basically had the support of the Five Mountains Alliance. As for the Jiao Continent, they were basically an auxiliary branch of the Tongyou Institution. As for those in the Liao Continent, they came from the Changbai Sect. They could be considered the Tongyou Institution’s long-time ally.

As the strongest powerhouse in their alliance, the Tongyou Institution naturally understood the principles of sharing some benefits with their allies.

Of the 20 or so Star Ships that flew towards the Mo Continent, 3 of them quickly split off and headed for Tonggu City.

The elder of the Guyuan Sect who survived and gathered a good portion of subordinates suffered heavy injuries from a sneak attack from Zhu Honglin of the Chilin Gang the moment the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World arrived.

“You...” The elder stared at Zhu Honglin with a look of disbelief. He was shocked by the gang leader’s betrayal, but he was even more surprised by Zhu Honglin’s strength!

In their eyes, Zhu Honglin was someone who shouldn’t be able to advance past the first element of the Martial Dipper Realm! Moreover, due to the strangeness of his fate dipper, he should possess extremely low combat abilities even among experts of the same level.

If that was the full extent of his abilities, he shouldn’t have been able to threaten the elder even if he succeeded in his sneak attack.

Who would have thought that that wasn’t the case at all? Zhu Honglin not only regained the full strength of someone at the first element of the Martial Dipper Realm, he even refined his second fate dipper!

Zhu Honglin saw the look of disbelief in the elder’s eyes and he chuckled happily, “I bet you didn’t expect it. True Immortal Shang not only purified my dipper qi, allowing me to get back on track with my cultivation, but he even found me a suitable Origin Dipper so that I can reach the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm!”

“So... That’s... Why...” The elder seemed to age by tens of years as his ambitions turned to smoke along with the arrival of the experts from the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Even though he still had the ability to do combat, facing many Martial Dipper Realm experts and Zhu Honglin, he knew he had no chance of winning.

Sun Haiwei led Tian Mengzi and the others to take over Tonggu City while obtaining the resources that had been gathered.

After dealing with the elder from the Guyuan Sect, the remaining cultivators he gathered from the Guyuan Sect were thrown into battle without a leader. With the assistance of the Chilin Gang, the experts of the Tongyou Institution and Jiao Continent quickly swept away all resistance in the city.

“This is the list of everything the Guyuan Sect owns in the city, along with the resources they gathered recently. Fellow cultivators of the Superior World, please take a look!” Zhu Honglin handed a stack of documents over to Sun Haiwei respectfully.

Zhu Honglin could see that even though the female cultivator in front of him wasn’t too old, her cultivation had already reached the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm.

Even though she was suppressed by the World’s Will to a certain extent and wouldn’t be able to unleash her full power, Zhu Honglin didn’t doubt that she could kill him easily!

Also...

Zhu Honglin glanced at the 2 Martial Dipper Realm experts behind her and the tens of Martial Extermination Realm cultivators they brought along with them and lowered his head even further.

“Leader Zhu, you’ve done well! You, along with your Chilin Gang, are the reason we managed to gain control of Tonggu City without much loss! We also obtained the resources the elder of the Guyuan Sect gathered. I will remember your contributions!” Sun Haiwei glanced at the stack of documents before handing them over to Dou Zhong.

Zhu Honglin chuckled in response, “Instructor Sun, your praise is appreciated, but it’s not entirely my credit. Everything we achieved is because of True Immortal Shang’s brilliant strategy, and your arrival. What I’ve done is nothing in comparison.”

Behind Sun Haiwei, Tian Mengzi revealed a wide smile while Dou Zhong merely sneered.

Sun Haiwei laughed, “Leader Zhu, there’s no need to downplay your contributions. Patriarch Kou and True True Immortal Little Shang already informed us of your contributions. You and your gang will be rewarded with a quarter of what we gained.”

Zhu Honglin felt his head swelling after hearing the massive reward that fell from the skies. He started stuttering the next second, “This... This... This... I can’t... No, I’m thankful, I’m too grateful for this... No... It’s too much, I...”

“Leader Zhu, there’s no need to reject it. It’s something you and your gang deserve. Moreover, True Immortal Little Shang still has arrangements for all of you.” Sun Haiwei giggled softly.

At the end of the day, Zhu Honglin was still the leader of a powerful faction. He was able to quickly regain his composure and he quickly asked, “I wonder what True Immortal Shang needs me to do...”
