Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1404: New Territories, 10,000 Miles Wide! Pt.3

When Shang Xia was splitting up the world fragment, there were 4 other continents in the Spirit Luxuriant World other than the Liao, Ye, and Wu Continents that were close to reaching the state of perfection. For example, the Shu Continent that the Jianmen Gate managed.

According to Shang Xia’s plan, the Jianmen Gate that also had a good relationship with the Tongyou Institution would also receive a piece of land, but Shang Xia was shocked that the Jianmen Gate would reject his goodwill.

He was curious about their reason for doing so, but it was quickly revealed. Both institutions had great relations and the Jianmen Gate looked as though they were afraid any deals they made would affect the friendliness between them. Moreover, they were also confident in their own abilities. After the higher-ups of both institutions communicated with each other, the experts of the Jianmen Gate vaguely revealed that they had their own method to grow their continent and might soon birth their first True Immortal!

The members of the Tongyou Institution who heard the news had their interests piqued yet again. They were shocked that the Jianmen Institution knew of a way to strengthen their continent while also producing a True Immortal! However... Every sect had their fortune and it wasn’t the Tongyou Institution, or Shang Xia’s place to pry further.

No matter what, their growth would only strengthen the Spirit Luxuriant World as a whole!

After splitting up most of the world fragment, the last few pieces were sufficiently big for the Yan Continent and Yang Continent to complete their growth to reach a state of perfection.

The Yan Continent used to be the smallest and most barren continent in the Spirit Luxuriant World. For them to suddenly reach a state of perfection... That would mean that they required a lot more land than the Liang and Qing Continents. Not to mention the fact that the Liang and Qing Continents had Elysium-level factions backing them and required a lot less resources...

Since the Shu Continent didn’t need the Tongyou Institution’s assistance, Shang Xia was able to save the remaining land for the other continents.

Splitting up the rest of the land and sending them to the Yan and Yang Continents, Shang Xia was prepared to reap the benefits from all of them after their completed ascension.

Their deal with the Zhongxuan Sect in the Yan Continent was to obtain 30 percent of their World Origin Source, and there was no objection to that.

The assistance they provided was just too important. The Zhongxuan Gate couldn’t give Shang Xia and the Tongyou Institution more benefits than the Divine Capital Sect and Eternal Palace anyway and could only choose to relinquish more control of their World Origin Source.

Of course, Shang Xia and the Tongyou Institution also made the same promise to them that they wouldn’t attempt to take control of the rest of the World Origin Source in the future.

As for the Yang Continent... The Lushan Sect there also showed signs of falling under the Tongyou Institution’s banner in recent years. However, they were also within Shang Xia’s original plan to push into a state of perfection as their continent had already reached a size of more than 8,000 miles.

Because of that, they made a deal with Shang Xia for 20 percent of their World Origin Source.

With that, Shang Xia’s plan to split up the world fragment was basically complete.

Before he returned, the Spirit Luxuriant World had 10 continents that reached the state of perfection. If everything went as planned, 7 more continents would reach the state of perfection with the integration of world origin and more than two thirds of their world would have reached the standard for ascension to an Essence World.

If the information from the Jianmen Gate was reliable, they would be able to produce the 16th True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World and there would be 18 continents that reached a state of perfection, bringing the Spirit Luxuriant World three quarters of the way to the standard of reaching an Essence World.

Because he didn’t have Kou Chongxue’s help, and the members of the Tongyou Institution weren’t involved in splitting up the continent, Shang Xia used a lot more time than the last to split up the world fragment. The 28th year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar had already rolled about by the time he was done.

After he was done, Shang Xia returned to the You Continent. Along the way, he felt an unprecedented sense of calm and his body was exceptionally light. All his worries also seemed to disappear.

Shang Xia understood that the World’s Will blessing was about to descend.

He didn’t care about anything else and wanted to return to the You Continent to enter seclusion while also digesting everything he comprehended during the journey to obtain the world fragment and everything that came after.

Once that was done, his cultivation would improve accordingly and that was his main goal in the first place.

As soon as he arrived in the You Continent, he entered seclusion right away. He didn’t even have the time to mention it to anyone as he activated all the restrictions around the Talisman Pagoda and sealed it off from the rest of the world.

It was rare for the Talisman Pagoda to be sealed off from the rest of the world after it was created. It wasn’t as though Shang Xia had never cultivated in the Talisman Pagoda in the past, but he had only sealed off the top floor where he was and didn’t affect the day to day operations of the other Talisman Masters.

Whatever the case, a Talisman Pagoda was a powerful structure that could help a Talisman Master increase their success rate when crafting talismans. It wasn’t an exaggeration to call it a mighty treasure of the Tongyou Institution which was an important part of the Talisman Hall. It was also how they became a holy land for talisman crafting in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Once it was sealed off, everyone had to find other places to craft talismans before Shang Xia emerged.

The sudden closure of the Talisman Pagoda caused many Talisman Masters to grumble outside while even the deputy patriarchs were alerted to the sudden change.

However, once they learned that Shang Xia was cultivating within and had sealed it off, all voices of dissent ceased.

Some Talisman Masters who had been complaining quickly left to find somewhere else to complete their work, while others didn’t leave immediately. Many of them felt that for their Hall Master to enter seclusion suddenly and seal off the Talisman Pagoda meant that something big was going on.

If something important was really going on... How could sealing off the Talisman Pagoda alone be enough?

The Talisman Masters who remained behind quickly gathered together to deploy many layers of protection around the Talisman Pagoda. There were protection formations, warning formations, illusion formations, and even some killing formations to prevent anyone from approaching the pagoda. It didn’t take long for the Talisman Pagoda to become the most fortified area in the Talisman Hall.
