Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1018: Wrong Judgment

Even though the existence of the Azure Flame World might be exposed, the Spirit Luxuriant World had to take action as soon as possible. Only then would they be able to obtain the greatest benefits.

As the leaders of the Tongyou Institution and the Ice Essence Sect, Kou Chongxue and Lu Wuzi needed to return to their factions to make the necessary arrangements and announcements that they were going to set off on an expedition against another world.

Rather than choosing to follow Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia back to the institution, Huang Yu decided to return to Star Origin City.

He was confident that his new identity hadn’t been revealed, and he had many plans he was unwilling to give up on.

As the True Immortals left one by one, Huang Yu reached out to grab Shang Xia before he could return.

With a helpless look on his face, Shang Xia grumbled, “Hey, no matter what, I’m a True Immortal now. If you tried this on anyone else... hell, try it on Patriarch Kou and you’ll probably have one of your arms torn off...”

“Hehe.” Huang Yu chuckled once before he continued, “We’ve been through so many life-or-death situations together... Our relationship is extraordinary, right? Why would you treat me like the rest of them?”

Helpless, Shang Xia didn’t know how he could respond to that and he eventually sighed, “Alright... What do you need?”

With the most sinister, villain-like smile, on his face, he walked beside Shang Xia and whispered, “I need to become someone new. Is there anyone in the Spirit Luxuriant World you don’t like but can’t do anything about them yourself?”

Glancing at him from the corner of his eye, Shang Xia sneered, “Yeah. Zhang Xuansheng and Li Jidao.”

The grin on Huang Yu’s face froze instantly and he stuttered, “You little... Come on man, I’m serious!”

A frown formed on Shang Xia’s face and he mumbled, “It’s not that easy to join the Star Origin Guards...”

Giggling in a strange voice, Huang Yu continued, “Hehehe, it doesn’t hurt to try! I might be able to smoke my way in...”

“You...” Shang Xia shook his head helplessly. “You better be careful!”

After he spoke, he tossed a sealed spiritual case over to Huang Yu before disappearing from Three Unity Island.

“Oh... 5 rank five talismans! This kid probably increased his skills again after entering the Martial Void Realm...” Huang Yu muttered to himself as the smile on his face became a lot more sincere. However, he quickly recalled how Shang Xia didn’t tell him who he could ‘replace’ in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

“Shit! This is a big headache... Who am I supposed to kill then?” Huang Yu scratched his head before mumbling to himself again, “Screw this. Let’s just see which unfortunate soul comes knocking. Even if anything happens, Kou Chognxue and that kid will be able to deal with the trouble that ensues.”

...

Above the heavenly screen of the Jiao Continent, the 7 True Immortals gathered once again.

Kou Chongxue, Lu Wuzi, and Shang Xia were the only True Immortals who had the capabilities to head over to the Azure Flame World.

Since they were going to start the expedition, there was no longer a need to conceal the coordinates of the Azure Flame World.

Of course, Shang Xia still chose to bring the Stellar Cauldron with him on their trip. Since the treasure didn’t belong to him, he could only tell Kou Chongxue to bring it with him.

Liu Jingsheng couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw Shang Xia’s actions. “Looks like True Immortal Kou is determined to push the Tongyou Paradise into the Tongyou Elysium after this expedition... I’ll offer my congratulations in advance!”

Kou Chongxue waved his hands modestly in response. “It’s still too early. He brought it in order to gather as much world origin as possible without leaking into the sea of stars...”

Compared to the refined look Kou Chongxue had when holding the cauldron in his hand, Shang Xia felt like he looked like an unruly monkey when wielding the Stone Rod. Fortunately, he was able to shrink and enlarge it according to his will after fully refining the Holy Artifact.

The Stellar Cauldron that was the size of a grown man was barely half a foot long in Kou Chongxue’s palm, and Shang Xia shrank the rod so small that it could fit in his ear hole.

Actually... Putting the Holy Artifact in his ear made him feel even more like an unruly monkey...

Whatever it was, the other True Immortals couldn’t help but sigh with admiration while looking at Shang Xia. Even Kou Chongxue was no exception. The more they looked at Shang Xia, the more they felt the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar was more suited to be an offensive weapon.

The Holy Artifacts required to establish an Elysium weren’t useless anyway. They would be able to show off their might in the hands of an expert, but most of the time, they would only serve as assistive treasures. Moreover, they would only be able to show off their greatest might when placed within an Elysium.

As for the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar in Shang Xia’s hands... No matter how they looked at it, it seemed like a massive mistake that turned out well for him!

“Everyone, we will head over to the Azure Flame World to suppress Yuan Cangming, and we can only trouble all of you to deal with the lower-level cultivators of their world.” Kou Chongxue cupped his hands and spoke to Zhang Xuansheng and the rest in a solemn tone.

Yang Taihe chuckled in response, “This matter concerns the safety of our world. We will definitely give it our all.”

Hesitating slightly, Shang Xia muttered, “The moment we deploy our troops over to the Azure Flame World, I’m afraid the various powers will learn about it. We need to be prepared to deal with other worlds who might try to take advantage of the situation...”

With a smile on his face, Yang Taihe continued calmly, “If push comes to shove, I’ll break through that very moment and give anyone who tries to take advantage of us a huge surprise!”

“Hehe. This old man is also confident in breaking through. However, if I can wait for the blessing of the world when we devour the Azure Flame World’s world origin, the process will be much smoother...” Liu Jingsheng added with a soft chuckle.

A moment later, Liu Jingsheng continued, “Looks like True Immortal Zhang is also waiting for the same opportunity...”

With the sudden question, Zhang Xuansheng was unable to remain silent any longer. He could only mutter softly, “All of us are in the same boat now. We’ll share glory and misfortune alike. I’ll definitely try my best when the time comes.”

Glancing at the Jiao Continent, Kou Chongxue’s gaze landed on the mountain where Shang Xia ground Dugu Yuanshan’s soul to dust. A giant pyramid was still being constructed, and it was none other than the Star Observatory that was undergoing restoration.

The Tongyou Institution took the initiative to restore the Star Observatory, but the Heavenly Star Palace was the one who was responsible for the work. The other Elysiums also took part in the operation.

There was one other use of the Star Observatory, and that was to fully restore the Stargazer inheritance.

According to their original plan, the Star Observatory would be restored by the time they started the expedition. They would be able to use it to better restore the Stargazer inheritance.

Unfortunately, due to them having to bring forward the plan, the chance to restore the inheritance was greatly limited.

Nodding at Lu Wuzi and Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue prepared to initiate the Spatial Transfer. All 3 of them disappeared from above the heavenly screen of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Every time they traveled through space, Shang Xia would be enthralled by the mix of brilliant colors around him.

However, he understood that the nicer those lights and the more they drew him in, the more he had to avoid them. Even a True Immortal would be swallowed into streams of chaotic space if they got too close.

...

No one knew how long had passed...

Tens of thousands of miles away from the heavenly screen of the Azure Flame World, a spot of light appeared in the void before growing larger and larger to transform into a strand of sword qi that resembled a shooting star. It tore open the void as Kou Chongxue stepped out from the void with the Stellar Cauldron in hand.

As someone who tried spying on the Azure Flame World 3 times at the very least, he quickly determined his location and where the Azure Flame World was.

Very quickly, faint fluctuations appeared beside him. From what he could feel with his divine soul, it was close to 2300 miles to his left.

“Not bad, that isn’t too far. I wonder if it’s Lu Wuzi or Little Shang...” Kou Chongxue muttered to himself before rushing over.

A resplendent spatial gate appeared 5000 miles away from Kou Chongxue as he was making his way over and Shang Xia stepped out from it. Looking all around him, he quickly discovered faint traces of remnant spatial fluctuations in the distance.

He waited for some time where he appeared and after sensing no other fluctuations, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Looks like I’m the last to arrive...”

After he spoke, he turned into a streak of light that flew at the spatial fluctuation he detected.

...

As soon as Kou Chongxue appeared, Yuan Cangming, who was cultivating in his Elysium, forced his eyes open. “That person is here again!”

Rushing to the heavenly screen, he stared into the void where Kou Chongxue appeared. He discovered another source of spatial fluctuations the next second and his expression changed drastically. “2 True Immortals?! Could it be...”

Yuan Cangming drew on the power of his Elysium and the power of the world and his voice quickly rang in the minds of every single high-level expert of the Azure Flame World. “Foreign experts have come to invade us again!”

Every single faction of the Azure Flame World burst into action.

In the past, they suffered from an invasion once. The Southern Yanlin Continent was practically destroyed back then and Yuan Cangming had been guiding their actions in recent years. The mindset that they would soon be invaded and might have their world completely destroyed had been ingrained in their minds.

Every single faction in the Azure Flame World had been preparing for that day.

Above the heavenly screen, Yuan Cangming carefully spread his divine soul into the depths of space. He could feel 2 faint fluctuations and he failed to sense a third even after a long time. He couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

“2 True Immortals who can leave their Elysiums... From the scale of their previous attack, they might not be too much stronger than us. Otherwise, we would have been completely destroyed back then. How can they afford to give us so many years to prepare ourselves?” Yuan Cangming muttered to himself. “These 2 True Immortals might have ascended not too long ago, like myself. They might not even be stronger than me. Even if they’re experts from a Spirit World and might not be bound to an Elysium, I have the backing of one! I will also gain an advantage with the help of the World’s Will while it suppresses them. It should be possible for me to hold them off with so many added factors and our Azure Flame World might not fall!”

After evaluating the advantages they should have and the possibility he was facing newbie True Immortals, he felt a lot more confident than before.

However, he also understood that as someone who is shackled to his Elysium, he would only be able to defend passively.

“I can only pray that a miracle will happen... As long as those flying ships locate the Land of Star Origin, we will be able to gain a powerful backer! When that happens, the Azure Flame World will be able to remain safe!”

Thinking about it for a second, Yuan Cangming couldn’t help but worry again. “Whatever it is, I hope those records in the Elysium are correct and the fabled Land of Star Origin that doesn’t take any sides truly exists...”
