Chapter 707: Twists and Turns

Shang Xia discovered the changes to his Crimson Soul Tablet when he entered the Martial Dipper Realm back in the Celestial Remains. However, because of the situation he was in, he couldn’t pay too much attention to it.

Up until the moment world origin poured out from the spatial tunnel leading to the Tongyou City and Chu Jia assigned him task after task did he realize that the Crimson Soul Tablet wasn’t taking the opportunity to absorb any more world origin.

One had to know that the world origin contained in the Origin Tide was extremely pure. After all, it was overflowing due to the merging of worlds.

As Shang Xia used the opportunity to temper his body, he wanted to seize the opportunity to allow the Crimson Soul Tablet to restore itself. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to show any interest in devouring the world origin around him.

After entering the Martial Dipper Realm, Shang Xia discovered that he managed to gain a little more control over the tablet. It was much better than when he was in the Martial Extermination Realm.

When he tried to control it to absorb world origin earlier, the Crimson Soul Tablet ignored him completely. It didn’t seem interested in world origin any longer.

Shang Xia had a feeling that the Crimson Soul Tablet underwent some sort of transformation when he broke through to the Five Elements Realm. The change caused it to no longer have an appetite for world origin any longer.

From the feeling he was getting, the Crimson Soul Tablet no longer found world origin ‘tasty’, for the lack of a better word.

If it doesn’t absorb world origin any more, how am I supposed to fix it?!

Shang Xia’s joy from comprehending the basis of his rank five arts when he was refining the Primal Yang Copper Fate Dipper Essence earlier dissipated after thinking about it.

…

When he was using the flow of world origin to temper his body earlier, he seemed to have discovered something else about his rank five martial arts. His heart, lungs, spleen, kidney, and liver throbbed slightly under the constant pressure.

Connecting the dots, Shang Xia recalled that there were 2 parts to his advancement medicine.

Those were the locations he applied the external paste to, and that would mean that he couldn’t just consider the flow of dipper qi in his dantian. He also had to connect it to his 5 major organs!

“Should I be building the rank five art with my dantian as the core with support from the 5 major organs?” Shang Xia thought to himself. “If that is the case, the frame of my rank five martial arts is basically created. The process of developing it would be much easier than before.”

Shang Xia had a feeling that even though the Crimson Soul Tablet only existed in his sea of consciousness, it might actually turn into an actual treasure after he fully repaired it.

The only problem was that it was no longer willing to absorb world origin. The cracks that existed inside wouldn’t restore itself and Shang Xia’s hope of finding out more about the treasure was dashed. At the very least, it would be far in the future.

There was also a need to mention that he relied greatly on the Crimson Soul Tablet. If he was unable to fix it, how was he supposed to use it during the advancement to the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm?! How was he going to deduce his advancement formula in order to grow stronger?! That didn’t just apply to the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm. There might even be realms higher than that!

Most importantly, the Crimson Soul Tablet held the greatest secret of how he managed to cross over into the world. No matter what happened, Shang Xia felt that he needed to get to the bottom of it.

From the looks of it now, all he could do was to try to repair the tablet and use it to keep growing stronger in order to uncover the truth.

Because of those reasons, Shang Xia fell into a deep trance. It was something he didn’t experience often, but he was eventually awakened by a yell from Chu Jia.

“Hey! Don’t blame me for not reminding you, but we’re about to become a holy land soon!”

“Huh?” Shang Xia stared in Chu Jia’s direction with a look of shock on his face.

Only then did he realize that the space in the Tongyou Mysterious World had increased by more than 3 times!

Even though they were pretty far away from each other in the currently ascending Tongyou Mysterious World, Chu Jia seemed to be able to detect the look of shock on Shang Xia’s face and she quickly transmitted her voice over to explain, “The amount of world origin far exceeded our expectations. That is why we took a lot less time to complete the upgrade!”

Actually, their expectation was based on the fact that there would be a lot of world origin wasted as they wouldn’t be able to fully direct it into the Tongyou Mysterious World.

Obviously, the Tongyou Institution made preparations for the outflow of world origin. So did all the other border continents who would be affected by the Origin Tide. However, Shang Xia's ability to control world origin was way too disgusting. No one expected him to be able to direct 99 percent of the world origin into the Tongyou Mysterious World.

Also, with his assistance, Chu Jia didn’t have to worry about controlling the formation to deal with the overflowing world origin. She used the full power of the formation to expand the space within the mysterious world in preparation for its ascension.

Even though that was the case, it couldn’t be denied that Shang Xia’s action greatly brought forward their plan.

“Will this affect what we are supposed to do?” Shang Xia asked. That was what he was truly concerned about.

“Our main goal is to complete the upgrade and become the Tongyou Paradise. Even if we affect some parts of the plan, they have to deal with it one way or another!”

Even though she was somewhat reassuring him when she replied, her tone changed at the end and she didn’t forget to blame Shang Xia. She snorted accusingly, “It’s all your fault!”

“...” The fuck did I do?

Yun Jing and the other experts in the battlefield between the two worlds didn’t expect the Tongyou Mysterious World to complete its transformation so quickly, and neither did Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo. Of course, neither did Luo Baixu and Xu Bailing of the Changbai Holy Land think the Tongyou Institution would succeed so rapidly.

…

When Yun Jing and Yan Su’er personally entered the battlefield between the two worlds back then, the battle between the Tongyou Institution and the members of the Azure Spiritual World immediately reached its climax. They weren’t just fighting for territory in order to gain a larger portion of world origin. They were also vying for land as that would directly affect the size of their continents after the new world was formed.

Halfway through their battle, the Origin Tide erupted and world origin poured everywhere. A portion went towards the Tongyou City through the spatial tunnel and due to the absorption by the Tongyou Mysterious World, along with Shang Xia’s amazing assistance, the world origin that was flowing towards the Tongyou City seemed to be pulled over with amazing gusto. World origin that came out from the Origin Tide rushed over in a massive stream.

Even the Martial Intent Realm disciples who were in battle could feel the change.

Of course, the sudden rapid pull of world origin brought about an intense reaction from those of the Azure Spiritual World.

Yun Jing and Yan Su’er might not know what was going on, but they could only work together to protect the institution’s interest. Obviously, they weren’t going to lose what they fought so hard for.

Who would have thought that the disciples of the institution who had been guarding the outskirts would send an urgent report back to them? From what they learned, the spiritual beasts in the battlefield between the two worlds seem extremely worked up and have started a large scale beast tide. Moreover, a large number of them managed to enter the spatial tunnel during the Origin Tide eruption earlier.
