Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1311: The Meeting

Chapter 1311: The Meeting

Kou Chongxue’s attitude was clear. The Spirit Luxuriant World had to take part in the matter with the Essence Ping World no matter what!

Everyone fell silent as soon as he had spoken.

After a good minute, Yang Taihe chuckled helplessly, “I believe all of us here know the reason behind why we have to take part. The Spirit Abundance World and Spirit Mammoth World have always been a step away from reaching an Essence World and the Star Origin Guards Commander at the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm has one foot in the Martial Emptiness Realm. If we fail to take part in his operation and if they reach some sort of alliance, we’ll definitely face annihilation.”

Yang Taihe paused for a second, and everyone else nodded in agreement.

“However...” Yang Taihe’s expression didn’t change as he looked at Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue as he chuckled bitterly, “Only Free True Immortals of our world can take part in the operation to the Essence Ping World, and of our 9 Free True Immortals, the gap in strength is exceptionally massive. Other than True Immortal Kou and True Immortal Shang who are high-level True Immortals, Huang Jinghan, who is the next in line, is merely at the second tier of the Martial Void Realm. Palace Master Yin, you should have only entered the second tier of the Martial Void Realm for less than a year, right?”

“Close to half a year...” Yin Jingxu shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Yang Taihe opened his arms with his palm facing the sky and mumbled, “I’m afraid they won’t be of too much help. They might even become burdens to you guys, and they might be targeted by the enemy and become our weakness!”

The Free True Immortals who heard what he said didn’t feel too comfortable, but they had to admit he was right. Things might really progress that way.

However, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue had already gone through what might come up during their meeting and they weren’t exactly unprepared for what Yang Taihe brought up.

However, before Kou Chongxue could say anything, Zhang Xuansheng spoke first. “There’s another problem, and that is that the Star Origin Dao Field joined the attack on the Essence Ping World because of many concerns. Other than the fact that the Essence Ping World and the Star Origin Dao Field have some sort of strange connection, Zhuo Gudao, the former Star Origin Guards Commander, has already obtained some sort of method to control Seventh Order energy. True Immortal Kou, True Immortal Shang, and True Immortal Yin should have experienced it during the War of the Spirit Tinkle World. Moreover... I have a feeling he doesn’t just control 1 type of Seventh Order energy!”

He didn’t stop there. “As for the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World, they most definitely can bring out Seventh Order energy. After all, they have been standing at the peak of what is achievable for a Spirit World for a very long time now.”

He turned to Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia as he continued once again, “True Immortals, I have no desire to douse your enthusiasm, but in my opinion, if we are unable to control Seventh Order energy or something capable of resisting it, it would be best not to take part in the operation. Otherwise, if anything happens to either of you... That would also spell the end of our world!”

If what Yang Taihe said merely caused the others to hesitate, Zhang Xuansheng’s warming caused everyone to give up thinking about the Essence Ping World.

Everyone looked at Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia.

To that, Kou Chongxue simply smiled. He spoke casually, “Everyone, please rest assured. No one will become a burden. As for the problem True Immortal Zhang brought up... Everyone, please do not forget. We will not be the only ones taking part. We will receive the support of the True Immortals of the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World.”

Lu Jidao didn’t seem convinced as he interjected, “The Spirit Thistle World has 3 high-level True Immortals at best. Moreover, one of them is an Elysium True Immortal and can only remain in his world. As for the Spirit Tinkle World... There’s no need to mention them at all. The only high-level True Immortal can’t leave his world. Now that True Immortal Shang has entered the level of Returning to the Origin, he’s the strongest among all the high-level True Immortals our worlds possess!”

The Spirit Luxuriant World catching up with the other Spirit Worlds in terms of strength was grounds for celebration, but it would really be a little awkward to celebrate on the basis that their allies were garbage...

“I’m afraid all of you have underestimated the foundations of the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World... They have hundreds of years of history, and even with the Spirit Tinkle World suffering a massive defeat, a third tier True Immortal has already entered the fourth tier, becoming a high-level True Immortal. I believe some of you might not have heard it yet, but...” Kou Chongxue revealed.

Liu Jingsheng couldn’t help but ask, “Is it really that easy to become a high-level True Immortal?”

Kou Chongxue shook his head and sighed, “From what I know, True Immortal Ban, the only high-level Elysium True Immortal of the Spirit Tinkle World, used a portion of his Elysium Source to help nurture the high-level True Immortal. He only left enough for his Elysium to operate, and so did the other Elysiums of the Spirit Tinkle World. They gathered a good portion of energy and bestowed it onto the third tier True Immortal, allowing him to succeed. Of course, there might be some secret art unique to them involved, but that’s not something we know about for now.”

“Heh...” Lu Wuzi, who usually never spoke in meetings like that, couldn’t help but mock, “Sacrificial decisions like these are probably something someone here will never be able to do.”

An awkward silence descended as soon as he spoke.

Only after some time did Shang Xia break the strange atmosphere. “Perhaps, our Spirit Luxuriant World also possesses a way to resist Seventh Order energies...”

Everyone stared at him in shock, not believing what they just heard. Zhang Xuansheng, Yang Taihe, Li Jidao, and those who had deep foundations looked at each other with a strange light in their eyes. No one knew if they were hoping for Shang Xia to be able to back his words up, or if they were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Kou Chongxue also seemed to realize something and wanted to stop Shang Xia, but he decided not to.

“Of course, we don’t have it now. I still need some time to prepare the method with my secret art.” Shang Xia seemed to disappoint them a little, but he quickly changed his tune. “Of course, even without it, I still have a way to ensure my safety when faced with Seventh Order energy.”

“For real?!” Huang Jinghan gasped. He didn’t seem to be in disbelief. Instead, he sounded more like he wanted Shang Xia to confirm it.

After all, he was the next strongest Free True Immortal after Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue. He had a desire to take part in the operation of the Essence Ping World.

Liu Jingsheng shot his usually serious junior brother a complicated gaze, and he could feel Huang Jinghan’s determination to go. After all, he already knew that Huang Jinghan was someone who desired nothing more than to continue walking down the path of cultivation.

Shang Xia had a profound light in his eyes as he looked at Huang Jinghan before nodding solemnly. “I have a complicated fusion rank six talisman that comes from the Essence Xing World. When activated, it has the ability to greatly reduce the impact of any Seventh Order energy and help the user escape.”

“Of course, if an expert at the Martial Emptiness Realm were to make the move, the talisman wouldn’t be enough. However, the Spirit Mammoth World, Spirit Abundance World, and Star Origin Dao Field definitely don’t have an existence at that level.” Shang Xia concluded. Even though he didn’t fully explain what was going on and only mentioned how the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman could reduce the might of an attack containing Seventh Order energy, it greatly convinced the others.

Zhang Xuansheng muttered in a low voice, “If that’s the case, I’m very interested in your secret art that will allow you to help others resist Seventh Order energy.”

Grinning, Shang Xia agreed, “So am I.”
