Chapter 1084: Breaking Out! Finding the Spirit Faith World!

After bidding Feng Ziying farewell, Shang Xia returned to the Spirit Luxuriant World.

In the Tongyou Institution, Shang Xia told Kou Chongxue about the highly suspicious Tong Yutang! Their conversation about the many strange points lasted an entire night!

On the second day… Shang Xia stealthily left the Tongyou Institution and went to the Formation Platform that had been erected in the Star Beast Nest.

Passing through the spatial tunnel, Shang Xia concealed the aura the second he stepped into the Star Beast Nest. He even hid his appearance entirely and didn’t allow the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World to detect his presence.

Of course, he could hide from the lower-leveled experts, but there was no fooling Huang Jinghan!

Naturally, Huang Jinghan knew that Shang Xia was intentionally keeping his arrival a secret after seeing how he was hiding himself. He wouldn’t waste Shang Xia’s efforts and went to meet him in a hidden fashion.

“Senior Huang… Sorry to bother you!” Shang Xia chuckled.

Even though Huang Jinghan was a man of few words and he was usually very serious, he didn’t care too much about formalities. He waved his hands casually and mumbled, “You’re not bothering me at all. Is something the matter for you to come all the way here?”

Shang Xia didn’t beat about the bush or lie either. He went straight to the point. “I’m thinking of looking for traces of the Spirit Faith World.”

Slightly taken aback, Huang Jinghan eventually composed himself. He sighed, “Makes sense… The only people who have a hope of breaking through the seal around the Star Beast Nest are you and Kou Chongxue…”

Of the 9 True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World, there were only 4 proper True Immortals who could leave the world as they wished. Of them, Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia had the highest cultivation level at the second tier of Martial Void Realm.

Shang Xia thought for a second before he continued, “Senior Huang, did you try to break their seal?”

Huang Jinghan nodded without any suspense. “Of course! However, I was forced back twice by their men… It’s a shame…”

He didn’t wait for Shang Xia to continue asking as he continued, “The first time, I was discovered by Yan Wujiu and forced to return. The next time I was blocked by another foreign second tier True Immortal I had never seen before. I tried asking about their identities, but none of them bothered responding. They only left after I returned to the Star Beast Nest.”

Shang Xia gasped in shock, “The first time we came, we ran into Lan Zhengfeng who was a third tier True Immortal. There was also Yan Wujiu, a second tier True Immortal. There were 2 other first tier True Immortals with them… That’s already 4! Now that another second tier True Immortal appeared… It looks like we underestimated the Spirit Faith World back then! They should be stronger than we thought!”

Huang Jinghan turned serious and he continued, “That’s also why I’m feeling a little curious. From the strength the Spirit Faith World is displaying, they should be more than capable of forcing us to leave and they can even destroy the Star Beast Nest. However, they simply chose to lock down the entire area and not allow us to leave…”

Shang Xia nodded in response, “Their method is clearly very contradictory. If they use True Immortals to keep an eye on us, they will need at least 2 of them to restrain us since we stationed a True Immortal in the Star Beast Nest. Moreover, their cultivation has to be higher than ours! Let’s not talk about the fact that they’re wasting manpower here… Actually, their way of surveillance isn’t good enough either! As long as we send a third tier True Immortal over and catch them off guard, do you think they’ll be able to stop us? They won’t know whether to try stopping us!”

Huang Jinghan agreed. “If it were me, I would rather send more experts and lay down a formation in the region and completely seal off the region without any chance for anyone to leave the Star Beast Nest!”

Shang Xia chuckled, “That’s why I’m getting even more curious and I’m feeling an urge to rush out there and have a look at what the Spirit Faith World is really intending to do!”

“How confident are you of success? I will do my best to cover you when you return…” Huang Jinghan said in a low voice.

Cupping his hands, Shang Xia thanked, “I am grateful for your efforts! However, I think you should give the order for our cultivators to prepare to retreat!”

The moment Shang Xia burst through their encirclement, there was no doubt about it. Their embarrassment at failing to keep him would turn to rage and they would likely vent their anger on the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World in the Star Beast Nest.

The Star Beast Nest was located in a region of weakened space to begin with. The spatial flow around it was comparable to a river, and they would be shifting around constantly in the sea of stars…

As soon as Shang Xia took a step out of the Star Beast Nest, he released his divine soul to its fullest state and it covered the void more than a thousand miles around him. As he looked for hidden experts of the Spirit Faith World, he also revealed himself.

In an instant, 2 auras that were no weaker than his emerged from different directions and made their way towards him.

Before they could lock on to his position, he activated a rank five Five Element Teleportation Talisman.

Pushing himself in an approximate direction, a spatial gate was ripped open in the space behind him. As if he was swallowed by the void, he disappeared the next moment!

As soon as they lost his presence, the True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World who were in charge of locking down the Star Beast Nest and keeping an eye on the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World, summoned their Void Origins and stirred up the space directions. They wanted to prevent the person who appeared from breaking through their encirclement.

They never would have thought that the strange talisman Shang Xia used could ignore almost all spatial disturbances. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t stop Shang Xia from leaving!

In the space tens of thousands of miles somewhere around the Star Beast Nest, Shang Xia stumbled out from a pitch-black spatial crack.

After using the starlight around him to determine his position, he chose a certain direction and started flying.

Before the time taken for a stick of incense to burn, 2 figures appeared where Shang Xia left.

“He has already left in that direction for some time now. However, he’s extremely proficient at concealing his aura… I’m afraid it’s a waste of energy to continue giving chase.” The second tier True Immortal who had an extremely large forehead due to his receding hairline muttered.

Yan Wujiu, who stood beside him, felt his expression sinking. He looked extremely annoyed without a way of venting his frustrations.

“What do you plan to do next?” The balding expert stared at Yan Wujiu. Seeing as his companion wasn’t answering, he couldn’t help but ask.

Feeling his temples throbbing, Yan Wujiu growled, “Brother Zhu, are you willing to destroy the Star Beast Nest with me?”

True Immortal Zhu stared at him with an expressionless face and he mumbled, “It’s useless. If I was that guy who escaped, I would have made preparations for everyone to retreat as soon as I decided to break out of the encirclement. Not to mention that even if we destroy the Star Beast Nest, the True Immortal who escaped would be able to assist their Stargazers to determine our location…

The annoyed Yan Wujiu who was about to leap in rage earlier felt as though a bucket of cold water had been thrown over him.

“Stargazer… Sigh… It would be great if we also had a Stargazer inheritance! If we could reverse track them, would we really be stuck in such a passive state?” Yan Wujiu revealed a pained expression and sighed.

True Immortal Zhu maintained an empty expression, but there seemed to be a mocking light flashing through his eyes when he looked at Yan Wujiu. However, it disappeared in an instant.

“Send news to the 3 worlds… Get them to send experts out to hunt that foreign True Immortal down. He’s still close to a million miles away from the 3 worlds and he might not be able to locate them anyway. Whatever it is, we have to return to the vicinity of the Star Beast Nest to prevent even more of them from breaking out and threatening us.” Yan Wujiu quickly regained his calm and instructed.

“Alright!”

“Hmph… They’re overestimating themselves! We thought that we could retrace their steps and locate their Spirit Luxuriant World, but I’m afraid our location is going to be exposed first!”
