Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 293: Enlightenment, Sixth Spear!

Chapter 293: Enlightenment, Sixth Spear!

After getting up in the morning, Shang Xia noticed that Hai Min and Yuanyuan were still sleeping and decided to practice his spear moves to loosen his muscles.

Who would have thought that a strand of foreign inner qi would be hidden in the spear, imprinting all sorts of spear arts and spear manuals into Shang Xia’s memory the moment he started using it?

When the movements of the faceless figure in the mist were firmly imprinted into Shang Xia’s mind, he suddenly recalled what Mister Bu said about training his spear art diligently after returning.

He was slightly skeptical at first as they were going to make their move in three days. Such a short amount of time wasn’t enough for him to begin comprehending his sixth move!

Now, he finally understood why Mister Bu wanted him to practice his spear art after returning. It seemed as though the foreign inner qi that was left in his Scarlet Star Spear contained the recollections of an expert containing many intricate spear arts and techniques!

That wasn’t all. After thinking through all the moves imprinted in his memory, Shang Xia discovered that all the moves possessed frightening strength. Through the recollection of the moves, Shang Xia realized that those spear arts seemed to ingrain themselves deeper into his memory every time he thought about it. They were like some sort of inheritance!

He even had the delusion that he could execute every move to perfection the moment he swung his spear. The feeling was extremely amazing, and it was indescribable with words.

Luckily, Shang Xia’s divine sense was powerful and he didn’t lose himself in the situation. It didn’t take long for him to snap back to reality.

Nothing came free in the world. He wouldn’t be able to master those moves without constant practice. Everything he felt earlier was a hoax, and he knew that he had to practice his spear art in order to gain proficiency in those moves.

The memory of the moves was real though. As long as he wanted to train in the spear arts that were burned into his mind, he would be able to without much difficulty. However, there was something even more amazing. There might not be a need for him to practice all the moves.

An idea appeared in his mind, and he couldn’t wait to verify his guess. However, the sound of movements came from Hai Min’s room.

Leaving the courtyard to get the mother and daughter some food, it didn’t take long for him to return. However, he was more focused on the appearance of the Mysterious Coral World in the distance and the idea he came up with earlier when they were eating. Finishing his food quickly, Shang Xia bade farewell to the two of them and promised to bring Yuanyuan some delicious snacks before leaving the courtyard.

Shang Xia could guess that the moment he left, Hai Min would contact the remaining members of the Eighteen Horsemen to carry out their rescue operations. He respected her choices and chose to focus on himself for now.

Before leaving the city, Shang Xia took a huge detour over to Wu Ji’s forge. He replenished his arrows before rushing towards the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range.

When he was at the forge earlier, Shang Xia didn’t notice a bell hanging under the sign. Neither did he manage to see Wu Ji. He purchased the arrows from the attendant he met the first time he came, and he couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed.

During the appearance of the Mysterious Coral World the day before, the heaven and earth qi fluctuated violently. Due to the time that passed, the situation calmed down and the heaven and earth qi seemed to be much more docile. No one knew how many cultivators experienced cultivation deviation before the heaven and earth qi finally settled down.

Not too long after he left the city, Shang Xia found a secluded spot before turning to look in the northern direction.

The Mysterious Coral World he was expecting to see was nowhere to be found, but there were several strange and beautiful phenomena in the distance.

“This looks like something that can only be seen in the battlefield between the two worlds when an Origin Tide erupts…” Shang Xia muttered.

In the past, Shang Xia experienced a small-scale Origin Tide eruption when he entered the Martial Extremity Realm. He couldn’t be more familiar with it.

However, he knew that the Origin Tide that assisted in his breakthrough was extremely tamed. The phenomenon he experienced before its eruption was like a fly compared to the monster he was seeing in the distance.

From all the information he was getting from his scattered sources, from the Shang Clan to Mister Bu, the Tongyou Institution had a grand scheme. The plan to bring the Mysterious Coral World back from the institution might only be a small part of it! It seemed as though fusing the Tongyou Peak with the Mysterious Coral World was but a mere rumor that existed previously.

If the battle between the various powers and the Tongyou Institution was hidden in the dark before, the appearance of the Mysterious Coral World in the You Continent would definitely push the battle out into the light.

It seemed as though the Tongyou Institution was planning to stand up against any faction that would threaten their plans. The fate of the You Continent rode on the fate of the Tongyou Institutions’s actions, and regardless of the outcome, the outcome was bound to cause a great deal of change in the Azure Origin World.

The only thing Shang Xia found to be a pity was that he wasn’t in the Tongyou City when everything was going on. That was bound to be the place where the battle got the most intense, but thinking clearly, he discovered he might not be very useful to the situation as a whole. After all, he was merely a Martial Intent Realm cultivator. He wouldn’t be called upon for the true confrontation that would take place with Martial Extermination Realm experts, and there wasn’t much left for him to do there.

Now that he was in the Changfeng City, away from the core of the storm, he might be able to assist the institution in several matters.

Shang Xia didn’t remain in place for long. He quickly entered the mountain range to verify his guesses about the spear arts he received.

Even if he didn’t use his movement art, it took less than two hours for him to venture into the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range.

Locating a deserted valley within, Shang Xia took out his spear impatiently and recalled the moves executed by the faceless man.

When he wanted to test out some of the moves, the Origin True Qi in his body pulsed violently. Beads of cold sweat dripped down his forehead. A bad premonition filled his heart.

.

He realized that practicing many different types of martial arts might allow him to display stronger fighting prowess, but it might not be beneficial to his cultivation as a whole. Instead of training in all sorts of techniques, it made more sense to practice several better ones to the peak level. That would make it easier for him to comprehend his martial intent in the future and step into the grand completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm!

Thinking about his Shang Clan’s inheritance, the Providence Spear, Shang Xia had already drawn a connection from the Providence Spear to the Triple Providence Chapter. If he recklessly practiced the moves from another inheritance now, it might adversely affect his progress. It might even muddle the ball of formless chaos in his dantian, harming his cultivation foundations severely!

At that moment, he realized that the ‘Triple Command Realm’ was completely different from the ‘Yin Yang Realm’. He was able to utilize different sword arts in the Yin Yang Realm as it focused on combination. It combined the various techniques into one. In the Triple Command Realm, or the Martial Intent Realm as members of the Azure Origin World called it, Shang Xia chose his path a long time ago. He wanted to comprehend the Providence Spear Art to its peak, and there was no room for other inheritances! Especially so when the Providence Spear Art contained a lot of mysteries he had yet to discover.

If he tried training in the spear arts left in the spear, he would be destroying his path of cultivation completely!

“The spear arts contained in it seems to be a trap…” Shang Xia sighed silently. Since Youshang was the one who used his spear, he couldn’t help but suspect that the cultivator was scheming against him.

“The five spear arts he imparted are not only complete, but they are also extremely exquisite! Any one of them would possess terrifying power when fully comprehended, and it would allow a cultivator to stand tall in the Martial Intent Realm. Among the five, two of them can be considered inheritance-level spear arts. They will allow a cultivator to comprehend a martial intent when trained to their peak… If this really is a trap, the person who laid down this trap is really too generous…”

As many thoughts flashed through Shang Xia’s mind, he couldn’t help but think about the various techniques contained in there. He quickly discovered that his memory of the faceless man demonstrating the techniques contained some secrets. He was able to sink his consciousness into his memory to observe every part of the technique when they were executed! He could even choose to experience the spear techniques personally by standing against the faceless man, feeling their power and intent!

What shocked Shang Xia was that he could stop the motion of the faceless man at any time to think about what he saw before resuming the execution of the technique.

To put it bluntly, he was watching a 4d video replay in his mind…

Wait a second… There was no need to train those spear arts himself! With the memory imprinted firmly into his mind, Shang Xia could understand all the moves by analyzing them slowly!

It seemed as though Youshang didn’t plan to harm him! It seemed more like a test he had given to Shang Xia.

Since he passed the test and discovered the intricacies behind the spear arts left behind, next came the rewards. He could use those memories to comprehend his next move in the Providence Spear Art series!

It seemed as though the rewards he was getting for helping them kill Liang Shuangren were truly benefiting him. The other party might have bestowed upon him several spear arts for him to improve his own technique, but that wouldn’t stop him from recording them for his clan in the future!

Not everyone in the Shang Clan had the authority to learn the Providence Spear and receive the clan’s inheritance. Now that he had five more spear arts in his mind, it would bring about a massive boost to the clan’s strength!

Rank three martial arts weren’t cabbages that grew by the side of the road. Even in the Shang Clan, they had less than seven different martial arts for cultivators at the Martial Intent Realm! That was including the Providence Spear which wasn’t open to most disciples of the clan. He received five out of nowhere, and two of them were complete inheritances!

The more he analyzed the various moves contained in those five spear arts, the more engrossed he became. All of a sudden, a new door seemed to have opened in front of Shang Xia and he felt as though he received enlightenment. He came up with the sixth move of his Providence Spear Art, and he gently stabbed the spear in his hand forward.

In an instant, the Origin True Qi in his body poured into the spear.

The heaven and earth qi that was around him rushed towards him with frightening momentum. They formed a giant spear that shot out in the direction his Scarlet Star Spear pointed at.

With a loud blast, the giant spear of heaven and earth qi pierced through a small hill that was a hundred feet away from Shang Xia. Soon after, the hill crumbled in on itself and dust filled the air.

The sixth move of his Providence Spear Art, Flow Recompensation!
