Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1323: Gathering Their Strength

After that, the high-level True Immortals discussed matters regarding the defense of their worlds when they were gone and how they would share intelligence.

Reaching an agreement, their discussion finally concluded. With that 3 days had already passed.

At the end of their discussion, Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia brought Zhang Xuansheng and Yang Taihe’s clone to bid everyone farewell. When Qu Guan escorted them back to the Five Element Teleportation Formation, he looked at the clones with a profound gaze and muttered, “Patriarch Kou, True Immortal Shang, our Spirit Thistle World, and the Spirit Tinkle World have already consolidated our complete fighting strength to face whatever it coming. Against the great powers, we have to ensure there is no internal strife and all of us have to stand on the same front.”

As soon as the words left his lips, the clones’ expressions changed.

Finally bidding him farewell, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World made their way back. After bidding their farewell to Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia, the clones quickly returned to make their reports to their true bodies.

Shang Xia looked at Kou Chongxue with a curious expression and asked, “What do you think those 2 will do next?”

Without even turning his head, Kou Chongxue snorted, “A wise man submits to circumstances. You’re underestimating the 2 of them, and you’re also underestimating our Spirit Luxuriant World.”

Shang Xia didn’t respond as he returned to the Tongyou Institution for a few days to take a short break before returning to Star Beast Nest No.2 to continue his research on the Variant Formation Talismans.

Before he left, he heard an interesting piece of news from the Hai Continent. Spiritual beasts seem to be gathering in the sea around the Hai Continent and they are starting to become a threat to the coastal regions of the Hai Continent and the continents around it.

Naturally, the sea spiritual beast tide didn’t alert the members of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Instead, they became extremely excited. Many factions sent the low to mid-level cultivators they had been nurturing to the coastal cities to gain combat experience.

After those sea spiritual beasts were killed, cultivators would be able to obtain a lot of spiritual treasures or material from their corpses.

Those cultivators not only improved their combat skills, and cultivation level, and obtained treasures when fighting the sea spiritual beasts, but they also ensured that the coastal cities remained intact. They also gained a good reputation in the Spirit Luxuriant World. It was a win-win-win-win situation!

As for the reason behind the sudden sea spiritual beast tide... Many people felt that it had something to do with the integration of the world fragment of the Spirit Dusk World.

After all, a huge portion of the landmass ended up in the oceans. The Yan Continent, You Continent, Liao Continent, and Liao Continent were connected to the oceans, and the Hai Continent was even worse as it stood alone in the massive ocean of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

The world fragment that was brought back by Shang Xia also contained massive seas, and no one knew what type of spiritual beasts they contained.

Of course... With the progress of the Spirit Luxuriant World, the spiritual beasts also received the blessing of the world and grew along with the cultivator. Those in the sea weren’t the only ones who grew stronger as those in the wilderness of the various continents and mountain ranges also advanced. They were starting to form massive packs while consolidating their strength.

The only difference between the spiritual beasts on land and those at sea was the fact that those in the sea had a place to hide and grow. With the strong control the various factions have over the land, the spiritual beasts that lived on land seemed a lot weaker.

There were even some spiritual beast packs on land that were controlled by the various factions. Some were allowed to roam free on purpose, and others simply submitted to the rule of humans. An example of such would be the Mutated Rain Swallows in the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range. Their leader was a rank five Lightning Bird, and they always maintained a friendly relationship with the Tongyou Institution.

The Tongyou Institution also made use of them to gather a large batch of Swallow Fur. They were used to make high-grade Spatial Pouches that could contain a lot of treasures, and it was one of their main essence crystal makers.

...

Another half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and the 23rd year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar rolled about.

Above the heavenly screen above the Jiao Continent, the construction of the Spirit Luxuriant Hall was completed, and it would serve as the meeting point of True Immortals!

Its main use was for the True Immortals to discuss matters related to the world, but after it was constructed, it was split into the inner and outer hall. The inner hall would be where the True Immortals discussed matters of great importance, while the other hall would be open to the higher-ups of the factions that possessed Holy Lands.

On the day of the opening ceremony, 15 True Immortals from the 6 great powers gathered in the inner hall while the core members of the other factions gathered in the outer hall.

Other than Shang Xia, who was the only one who sent a second tier True Immortal clone, the others came with their true bodies.

The inner hall was extremely wide, and the seats that had been arranged for every other True Immortal other than the chair of the meeting were such that they tried to show no intentional segregation between those of higher cultivation level. However... When all of them gathered, they unanimously decided to let Kou Chongxue take the main seat.

Even though Shang Xia didn’t head over personally, his identity and cultivation were too special to ignore. He naturally sat right beside Kou Chongxue. The others took a seat according to their cultivation realms and Sun Haiwei and Ge Qingzhu who most recently entered the Martial Void Realm naturally sat at the very back.

Just like that, a very interesting scene could be seen in the Spirit Luxuriant Hall. The main seat and the one right beside it were occupied by members of the Tongyou Institution, and so did the last 2 seats.

Whatever it was, everyone was clear about the agenda of their meeting.

After the gathering of high-level True Immortals of the 3 worlds back then, Yang Taihe and Zhang Xuansheng’s clones reported the collective strength of their alliance. The information was so widespread that even many factions that possessed Holy Lands heard of it.

The Northern Sea Mystic Sect and Eternal Palace didn’t choose to hide what they heard for themselves.

It was precisely as Kou Chongxue had said. Both of them were smart men who knew how to adapt to their circumstances.

Well... To put it more accurately, they had no choice. After all, if their alliance failed, they would be doomed.

That was also why there were so many experts from the other factions waiting in the outer hall to hear the outcome of the True Immortals’ discussion.

As everyone in the inner hall was prepared, their meeting went rather smoothly. With 2 high-level True Immortals presiding over the meeting, everyone else promised to increase their contributions and intelligence channels. They also swore to stand by each other to face their external threats.

As the host of the meeting, Kou Chongxue seemed to be the leader of the alliance and held absolute authority. He had the ability to deploy any faction as long as it didn’t force them to reveal any of their core secrets or to intentionally place them under enemy fire.

...

With Kou Chongxue integrating the strength of the Spirit Luxuriant World, Song Zhen came to visit Shang Xia in his courtyard in Star Beast Nest No.2.

“I wish to return to the Chaotic Sea of Stars!”

Song Zhen, who had been recuperating in Star Beast Nest No.1, raised a shocking request the moment he paid Shang Xia a visit
