Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1310: Curtains Call

A Spirit World required 24 continents that surpassed 10,000 miles and 9 Elysiums to ascend to an Essence World.

The actions of the Tongyou Institution caused the Hai Continent, Bing Continent, and Ji Continent to reach the state of perfection for a Spirit World, with landmass surpassing 10,000 miles. The Liao Continent also reached a size of 9,000 miles, closing in on that level.

Because of that, the blessing of the World’s Will never stopped descending and even though Shang Xia had already reached the level of Returning to the Origin, the superimposition of the World’s Will blessing didn’t stop, and his cultivation continued to rise.

Before they brought back the world fragment, there were only several continents that reached the state of perfection. They were the Northern Sea Continent, Yong Continent, Jiao Continent, Jing Continent, and You Continent. Of them, the Northern Sea Continent and Yong Continent had far surpassed the 10,000 mile mark, and so did the Jiao Continent. However, the Jiao C continent’s foundations and World Origin Source barely reached the level of a continent that had just reached the state of perfection.

After splitting up the world fragment, the Spirit Luxuriant World would possess 8 continents at the state of perfection instead of 5, and a third of the continents of their world reached the standard required for world ascension. The Shu, Yi, Liao, and Wu Continents had also reached a size of 9,000 miles, ready to take the final step.

As the integration of the world fragment came to a close, nearly a month had passed since Shang Xia brought the Spirit World Ark back. It took nearly a month for them to split up the world fragment up till the point Ge Qingzhu became an Elysium True Immortal.

Actually, the World Origin Source was still expanding due to the growth of the world, but with the situation pretty much set, there was nothing else for the True Immortals to do.

Several days later, above the heavenly screen above the Jiao Continent, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World met.

Every single True Immortal, whether they were putting up a facade or not, congratulated the members of the Tongyou Institution happily. Their gazes were exceptionally complicated when they looked at Shang Xia.

After congratulating the Tongyou Institution, all of them turned to Yin Jingxu to congratulate him on breaking through to the second tier of the Martial Void Realm.

As they offered their best wishes, many of them thought to themselves about how Yin Jingxu definitely gained a lot of benefits when he took part in the War of the Spirit Tinkle World with Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia in the past.

After exchanging a round of pleasantries, Liu Jingsheng suddenly joked, “Now that all 15 True Immortals of our Spirit Luxuriant World have gathered, we are no longer considered a weak existence among Spirit Worlds. However, this gathering seems a little sad because of how it’s being done. Why don’t we construct a grand hall here in order to carry out our meetings in the future?”

Liu Jingsheng’s suggestion immediately gained the usually silent Li Jidao’s approval. However, thinking about how Li Jidao was someone who greatly valued his status, it didn’t come as a surprise. After all, a grand hall for the meeting of True Immortals couldn’t emphasize their importance more.

Huang Jinghan and Jiu Jing naturally wouldn’t disagree with them, and the other True Immortals didn’t really give a shit. As such, the construction of the grand hall was agreed upon.

The next moment, Yin Jingxu laughed, “Since we’re going to establish a grand hall here, we have to give it a name, right? We can’t possibly call it a bad name like the ‘Meeting Hall’ or something like that, right?”

Kou Chongxue chuckled in response. “Of course, No matter what, we’re existences at the peak of our Spirit Luxuriant World, and every decision we make will affect our world. Let’s use our world as the title of the hall and call it the Spirit Luxuriant Hall.”

Since Kou Chongxue had spoken, Shang Xia naturally had no objections. The other True Immortals started to discuss among themselves and give suggestions, and matters regarding the Spirit Luxuriant Hall were set.

The structure that would represent the highest levels of decision making of the Spirit Luxuriant World was thus decided to be built, and it would also serve as the beacon of motivation for high-level experts to strive to be True Immortals.

Only after gaining the qualifications to join the Spirit Luxuriant Hall would one be considered a true powerhouse of the Spirit Luxuriant World!

After settling the matter with the hall, they started to talk about the progress of the Spirit Luxuriant World and what they should do going forward.

“We completed the establishment of the Five Element Teleportation Formation between our world and the other 2 worlds. We have also started our interactions with them. However, we are facing greater pressure from them to complete the Five Element Teleportation Formation between the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World...” Yang Taihe was still the person who spoke first. However, this matter concerned Chu Jia, the rank six Formation Grandmaster of the Tongyou Institution, and the question was thus directed at Kou Chongxue. Yang Taihe continued, “Patriarch Kou, this matter was supposed to be supported by Grandmaster Chu of your institution, but she disappeared after we received a batch of resources from the other worlds. She didn’t say why she left, and we can’t make sense of what happened.”

Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia forced a laugh while looking at each other.

Eventually, Shang Xia was the one to speak, “In the past, I obtained a Spirit World Ark from a bunch of Star Pirates. That’s the ark that brought the world fragment back to our world, and Hall Master Chu has been distracted by it. She has been studying the formations on it that have been used to seal a world fragment.”

“Oh? Spirit World Ark?”

“Star Pirates?”

“True Immortal Shang, can you give us a simple introduction of the sea of stars outside? We have been staying in our region of space and don’t know much about the outside world. We are very curious about your experience.”

Seeing how Shang Xia mentioned the Spirit World Ark, everyone who wanted to ask about it for the longest time finally saw an opportunity. Of course, there were some who were really curious about the sea of stars beyond the Star Origin Dao Field, and there were others who wanted to know how he transported such a massive world fragment in a small ark.

Shang Xia expected as much and he had already made his preparations to answer their questions. He didn’t hide most of what happened and he spoke about his experience when trying to locate the Essence Xing World. That included the situation within their world where everyone was pretty much up in arms ready to destroy each other.

He also spoke about the Chaotic Sea of Stars where Star Pirates operated.

It wasn’t that Shang Xia wanted to give away information for free, especially what he experienced after risking his life... However, he wanted to expand their horizons, and he hoped that most of them would be able to turn their attention to the vast sea of stars rather than trying to cause internal strife in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

When he was done, he didn’t forget to remind them, “The Essence Xing World became unable to grow stronger because of the increased tension within their world. An Essence World like theirs should have countless experts, and they should be able to easily see a way to get themselves out of their current predicament. They have been trying to look for other worlds, and they never gave up finding another target.”

Zhang Xuansheng’s expression changed slightly and he asked, “In that case... Has the Essence Xing World ever tried to spy on us?”

Looking at the old monster who they still couldn’t see through despite their superior cultivation level, Shang Xia muttered, “It’s not that they didn’t try. In fact, they already attempted to look into us. When I discovered the Piercing Cloud Bandits, I learned that the Dachen Dynasty had already asked them for information about us.”

Shang Xia didn’t keep it a secret that he pretended to be from the Essence Ping World. The True Immortals of the great powers long since heard about it. Whenever they took over his place to protect Star Beast Nest No.2, they would naturally not make the mistake of exposing their true identity.

After thinking for a moment, Li Jidao asked, “The higher-ups of the Essence Ming World and Essence Hong World should be the only ones who know about the Essence Ping World. Are the Star Pirates so powerful that they can learn about the Essence Ping World from them?”

Shang Xia sighed softly in response. He retrieved the token of the Dark Star Pirates and mumbled, “I’m afraid I have bad news... This is something left behind by a Star Pirate, and I obtained it after killing a second tier True Immortal of the Essence Ming World.”

Other than Kou Chongxue, who had seen it before, everyone’s eyes widened in shock and Lu Wuzi yelled, “What the hell? Is a second tier True Immortal of the Essence Ming World hiding his identity as a Star Pirate?!”

He was still in charge of protecting Star Beast Nest No.1, and the Spirit Faith World and their once-affiliated worlds had submitted to the Essence Ming World. He also fought with them twice and even though they gained the advantage the second time with the help of the Five Element Teleportation Formation, he was still afraid of them.

As soon as Lu Wuzi spoke, a mocking snort came from somewhere behind Zhang Xuansheng. Looking closely, the person who spoke was Fei Xuzi, the Northern Sea Mystic Sect’s newest True Immortal.

Lu Wuzi glanced at Fei Xuzi, but he didn’t really care about the provocation.

Shang Xia was too lazy to care about the grudges between the old members of the Northern Sea Mystic Sect and the current members. He simply continued, “It’s not that he has a hidden identity... There are rumors in the Chaotic Sea of Stars that some of the Star Pirate groups are backed by Martial Emptiness Realm experts. They might very well be backed by an Essence World!”

Huang Jinghan, who was usually a man of few words, asked suddenly, “Does that mean that the moment news of the Essence Ping World spreads in the Chaotic Sea of Stars, the Star Pirate group backed by the Essence Ming World will definitely become interested in it?”

Shang Xia nodded slightly without saying more.

Yin Jingxu exhaled a long breath. “Fortunately, True Immortal Shaang killed the second tier True Immortal Star Pirate of the Essence Ming World. Their plan was definitely to locate us through the spatial tunnel in Star Beast Nest No.1.”

Kou Chongxue added at the side, “What we know now is that it’s a matter of time before our Spirit Luxuriant World is exposed to the 2 great Essence Worlds. The most important thing is how much we can grow before then! As such... We have to accept the invitation of the Star Origin Dao Field to take part in the assault on the Essence Ping World whether we like it or not!”

With that, Kou Chongxue revealed the true agenda of their meeting.
