Chapter 906: Scheming Against the Bing Continent!
When they were on their way back from the Azure Flame World, Kou Chongxue actually asked Shang Xia about his understanding of the Martial Void Realm.
Obviously, Shang Xia knew fuck all about the Martial Void Realm.
If it was something related to the Martial Dipper Realm, Shang Xia would be able to pull something out of his ass. After all, everyone in his previous world would know something about the Five Elements one way or another. However, if they were to talk about the Six Directions He was afraid not many people knew much about it.
Naturally, he was a part of them. He didnt even know where to start and there was no chance he could give Kou Chongxue any proper advice.
Sixth Order? Maybe it has something to do with the Six Directions North, South, East, West, the upper boundary, and the lower boundary Maybe its something related to an entire world? Shang Xia mumbled in an uncertain tone.
An entire world? Do we have to create our own world when entering the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm? Hmm That seems to be the case when considering how the Sixth Order existences of the Elysiums broke through. After all, an Elysium is close to one Right. Your theory really came in a timely manner. It provided me with great inspiration and I have a lot more confidence when breaking through to the Sixth Order now! Kou Chongxue muttered to himself before falling into deep contemplation. The next second, his eyes lit up and he seemed to have received some sort of enlightenment. Seeing the confident look on his face, Shang Xia was utterly confused.
What did I say?!
How the hell did you miraculously become a lot more confident when breaking through?! Shouldnt you just be a little more confident even if you gained inspiration or something?!
Why the hell cant I feel as inspired and enlightened after saying what I said?!
With his eyes spinning about in confusion, Shang Xia snapped back to reality with Kou Chongxue slapping him on the shoulder before walking out of the Stellar Cauldron.
Thinking back to what happened when they just returned to the Azure Ascension World, Shang Xia couldnt help but gasp in amazement at how amazing Kou Chongxue was. With the main character glow around him, he was able to understand whatever Shang Xia said even if the person speaking had no idea what he was talking about! Shang Xia was mucking about and guessing around, but his words were like a massive sledgehammer that destroyed the obstacle standing in Kou Chongxues path to provide him enlightenment!
Of course, it wasnt time to think about all those matters. With Kou Chongxues successful breakthrough, the Azure Ascension World would possess their fifth Martial Void Realm expert! If they considered the sheer quantity of Martial Void Realm experts alone, the Azure Ascension World evened out the playing field!
With the support from the Worlds Will, Kou Chongxues advancement gave the Azure Ascension World a huge boost as they gained another powerful expert instantly. With the successful transformation, the Spirit Abundance Worlds attempt at invasion basically failed.
Shang Xia was even thinking about how he should deal with the subsequent developments and how he should use the chance to kill as many Martial Dipper Realm experts from the Spirit Abundance World now that they had successfully turned the tables.
As he thought about a plan that would allow the Tongyou Institution to reap the greatest benefits, he suddenly detected powerful auras appearing in the skies not too far away. It rapidly approached the Beyond Heavens Pavilion above the You Continent.
Whos there?!
For there to be multiple auras appearing at the same time, it wasnt quite possible for them to be experts of the Spirit Abundance World. As they got closer, Shang Xia could tell that those who were approaching had varied strengths. There were a whole bunch of cultivators in the Martial Extermination Realm and realized that it was probably cultivators of another faction seeking shelter in the You Continent.
For them to come now, from that direction, could it be
A thought flashed through Shang Xias mind and he heard a long whistle coming from the distance. A silver streak of light tore through the void and stopped accurately on his shoulder. Who else could it be other than the Lightning Bird?
Without a doubt, those who came were from the Taihang Mountains! For them to seek refuge with the Tongyou Institution They had to be from the Five Mountains Alliance! After all, the relationship between both powers was pretty good.
Shang Xia had his guesses on why they came. He turned to stare at them before locating Yin Wanxiang.
Yin Wanxiang wasnt some nameless fool. He had opportunities of his own, and he had the courage to take them. He was an amazing talent who climbed to the Martial Dipper Realm with his own abilities and he managed to unify a portion of the powers along the Taihang Mountains! He even managed to successfully refine his second fate dipper when the blessing of the world descended. Despite just breaking through, his aura was stable and he seemed to have already consolidated his cultivation. From that alone, one could see how strong his foundation was.
Beside Yin Wanxiang was actually another expert in the Martial Dipper Realm. She wasnt some random fellow either. She was Gong Xinlan, and after Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue saved her during their Spatial Transfer to the Azure Flame World, it could be said that she had chosen to stand on their side. Her cultivation recovered to the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm, and she would prove to be a valuable asset to the Tongyou Institution.
Because of the strange relationship Gong Xinlan had with the Yuanchen Sect, the Tongyou Institution didnt want to take over the grudge and create a bad relationship with an Elysium back then. After speaking to Gong Xinlan, she agreed to temporarily join the Five Mountains Alliance after returning to the Azure Ascension World and strengthen the faction to prepare for any changes that might happen.
Shang Xias gaze didnt linger on them for long as he quickly locked onto a figure in the group. His expression changed slightly.
Yin Wanxiang, who was extremely sharp, quickly noticed that Shang Xias expression wasnt right. He instantly connected the dots and explained, Leader Shang might be injured, but her foundations arent damaged. She should recover after resting for some time.
Gong Xinlan also nodded at Shang Xia after hearing what he said.
When she agreed to enter the Five Mountains Alliance for the time being, Shang Xia requested for her to take care of Shang Pei.
It was just that the battle above the heavenly screen was too intense and with Gong Xinlans abilities, she couldnt ensure that no accidents would happen. She was also helpless when Shang Pei was injured.
Hearing that Shang Peis foundations werent damaged, Shang Xia heaved a sigh of relief and cupped his fists towards Yin Wanxiang and the others before asking them for the reason they came.
The members of the Five Mountains Alliance looked to be in really bad shape. There were many of them who suffered heavy injuries, and Shang Pei even fainted after suffering heavy injuries.
Despite their sorry figures, Shang Xia could tell that Yin Wanxiang and the others maintained some sort of combat capability. At the very least, they had Yin Wanxiang, Gong Xinlan, and the Lightning Bird to hold the line in case anything happened.
Unless they ran into an unbeatable existence, they wouldnt have given up on the heavenly screen above the Taihang Mountains.
Then again, if they did run into an unbeatable expert, they shouldnt have been able to run away in the first place.
Facing Shang Xias questioning, Yin Wanxiang didnt bother beating about the bush. He immediately spoke of his intentions. He went over because of matters related to the Bing Continent!
Alliance Leader, are you planning to enter the Bing Continent? Shang Xia frowned. After the fusion of our worlds, there isnt much of a need to keep many things secret. I believe Alliance Leader Yin understands that the Divine Capital Sects influence has already taken root in the Bing Continent. Have you made preparations to go against them?
When the Azure Origin World collided with the Azure Spiritual World, the border continents suffered no small amount of damage. The You Continent suffered the most, and the Liang and Bing Continents werent as heavily damaged. However, the situation in both continents seemed a lot worse.
After the fusion of the worlds, the Bing Continent looked as though they had everything under control with Yuwen Changqing taking charge of matters with the faction there. He also had Feng Yezis help. With 2 Martial Dipper Realm experts, they should be doing pretty well for themselves. However, Feng Yezi and Yuwen Changqing were clowns who messed everything up. In the end, Feng Yezi was even killed by Shang Xia!
Even with Feng Yezis death and Yuwen Changqing keeping a low profile, the continents surrounding the Bing Continent remained pretty quiet. The Tongyou Institution to the east of the Bing Continent, the White Deer Paradise to the southeast, and the Desert Gate to the north didnt attempt to swallow the Bing Continent! All of them knew that the true power backing the Bing Continent up was the Divine Capital Sect and Yuwen Changqing was merely a dog of theirs.
Right after Ji Wenlong stepped into the Martial Dipper Realm, he took up a post at the border of the various continents. Was he really afraid of Yuwen Changqing?
Obviously not! The real reason he was there was to prevent the experts of the Divine Capital Sect from causing trouble!
Shang Xia heard Yin Wanxiang sucking in a long breath before speaking again. Well do it! Well take on the position as the vanguard and pioneer a path in the Bing Continent!
A light flashed in Shang Xias eyes. Looks like things will be getting interesting soon.
Even after knowing that the Bing Continent was backed by the Divine Capital Sect, Yin Wanxiang was still willing to lead the experts of the Five Mountains Alliance over to vie for power!
At the end of the day, the reason was overly obvious. It was because of the situation over at the Jiao Continent! Not only did Kou Chongxue step into the Martial Void Realm, but he also didnt use the support of an Elysium!
Even so, Shang Xia was still a little hesitant. He wondered out loud, Why though?
Kou Chongxue might have stepped into the Martial Void Realm and the Tongyou Institution basically gained the qualifications to stand on the same level as the Elysiums, but that didnt explain why the Five Mountains Alliance was willing to be used as a tool by the Tongyou Institution to open up their influence in the Bing Continent!
Forcing a smile, Yin Wanxiang explained, Theres no other reason. We need a way to move forward!
Shang Xia understood the reason behind his action. The Taihang Mountains might be massive, but the Five Mountains Alliance reached the limit of what they could do there. Yin Wanxiang was unwilling to let the Five Mountains Alliance remain stagnant in the Taihang Mountains and was thinking of a way to expand further.
There was no way he could expand their influence around the Taihang Mountains as they were surrounded by the Tongyou Institution, the White Deer Paradise, and the Divine Capital Sect. The only place he saw an opportunity to grow was the Bing Continent, which housed a mere subordinate power of the Divine Capital Sect. Yuwen Changqing wasnt the Divine Capital Sect! Even if they received backup, they wouldnt possess tyrannical strength.
Shang Xia nodded in understanding. He knew the reason behind Yin Wanxiangs actions, but that didnt mean that he would provide assistance without reservation.
Is your Five Mountains Alliance planning to swallow up the entire Bing Continent? Shang Xia asked suddenly.
That was extremely important and Shang Xia needed to be clear of his intentions.
Yin Wanxiang chuckled bitterly in response. I wouldnt dare to dream of taking over the continent. As long as we manage to lay our foundations and pave our way for progress, we will be satisfied if we can continue to thrive for the next hundreds of years
Impressive
Shang Xia couldnt help but praise Yin Wanxiangs intentions.
If the Five Mountains Alliance was able to establish themselves in the Bing Continent with the Tongyou Institutions support, they would obviously have to clash with the Yanmen Institution led by Yuwen Changqing. They would be the ones going against the Divine Capital Sects lackey, and there would be no need for the Martial Void Realm existences of the Divine Capital Sect and the Tongyou Institution to get involved.
At the same time, if the Five Mountains Alliance managed to find their footing in the Bing Continent, they would form another buffer for the Tongyou Institution against the Divine Capital Sect.
As for whether or not they would grow stronger and start having their own ambitions That would be a problem for the future. At the very least, after the Five Mountains Alliance established itself, there wouldnt be problems for a very long time. They would need a long time to digest their gains anyway.
As for the Tongyou Institution, their increase in strength in recent years was tyrannical, but they just had far too few people. It would be a tall task just to station enough experts throughout the You Continent, much less care about the Bing Continent.
The moment the Five Mountains Alliance established itself in the Bing Continent, they would have to lie low and consolidate their strength for the foreseeable future. The same would apply to the Tongyou Institution and it would be the best time for both parties to cooperate with each other closely.
Shang Xia finally nodded his head and muttered, Alright, please follow me. We need the approval of the Deputy Patriarchs in order to cooperate with you guys.
It didnt matter how well both sides got along or spoke to each other. At the end of the day, Shang Xia understood that he wasnt able to make such a huge decision on his own.
When Shang Xia brought Yin Wanxiang and the rest to meet the Deputy Patriarchs of the Tongyou Institution, the void thousands of miles away started to shake. One of the remaining spatial tunnels shattered and the sixth Martial Void Realm expert from the Spirit Abundance World arrived!
