Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 349: Admiration and Recognition

Chapter 349: Admiration and Recognition

“You separated your Water Origin Fate Dipper from yourself?!”

Facing Xuan Lu’s questioning, Yun Lu could only lower his head as the look in his eyes dimmed. He sighed softly, giving Xuan Lu all the response he needed to know.

A trace of anger filled Xuan Lu’s heart. That was a fate dipper they were talking about! No matter how powerful the White Deer Paradise was, it wasn’t something they could waste as they wished! Losing a fate dipper was something that caused Xuan Lu’s heart to ache!

After all, the number of fate dippers a Martial Dipper Realm expert possessed directly affected their strength. Yun Lu was originally a third element Martial Dipper Realm expert. His cultivation was second only to Xuan Lu in the White Deer Paradise, and he would be considered a powerful expert in their Azure Origin World. Even in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion, he would be considered a powerhouse!

Now that he had lost a fate dipper, his foundations would definitely be affected. That would in turn affect the foundations of the White Deer Paradise. It was no wonder Xuan Lu was feeling so distressed.

While a multitude of considerations was happening in Xuan Lu’s mind, Yun Lu was also complaining silently. If Xuan Lu wasn’t in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion when the fight started, the three of them would be more than enough to keep Kou Chongxue from doing as he pleased in the White Deer Paradise!

Naturally, everything was clearer in hindsight. Who would have thought that their mission would fail and Kou Chongxue would show up personally? He even possessed so much fighting strength!

“Things are getting troublesome…” Xuan Lu didn’t bother blaming Yun Lu for what had happened. Instead, he looked around at the White Deer Paradise and he sighed, “We might not know what method he used to recover from his supposed irreversible state of injury, but now that he can fight again, the Beyond Heavens Pavilion is going to get busy… Since he obtained the Water Origin Fate Dipper, he might even grow stronger than before… Hehehe. Looks like we not only got out foundations stolen from us, we even helped our enemy grow stronger! We’re going to turn into a laughing stock in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion!”

Hua Lu’s expression became a little awkward when she saw the look on Yun Lu’s face and she quickly chirped in. “Senior Brother, even if Kou Chongxue recovered, our White Deer Paradise wouldn’t be the only one panicking. When the event ?happened years ago, those experts in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion were also responsible for it. They could deal with him once, and we can definitely deal with him again!”

Xuan Lu glanced at her before chiding her mercilessly. “Do you think Kou Chongxue is mentally challenged or something? Will he allow himself to fall twice in the same place? Moreover, it’s not like he doesn’t have allies in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion either!”

Xuan Lu felt his anger and irritation dissipating slightly when he looked at Hua Lu, his precious junior sister who eventually managed to enter the Martial Dipper Realm successfully. His tone lightened up slightly as he continued, “When they ambushed him the first time, many of them had their reservations. After learning that his injuries were in an irreversible state and that he had become a cripple, many of them were pressured into leaving him alone. Even though all of them have no idea of the extent of his recovery, we cannot deny that Kou Chongxue has regained his ability to fight. He will definitely be able to make use of his connections and favors in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion once he truly sets his mind to it.”

Hua Lu was so surprised that she couldn’t say a word in response.

Only after some time did Yun Lu speak up. “Senior Brother Xuan Lu, what do we do now?”

“Protect the sect. I’ll have to make another trip to the Beyond Heavens Pavilion.” Xuan Lu sighed.

However, Hua Lu interrupted, “Senior Brother, are you really going to leave now? What if Kou Chongxue…”

With his patience worn thin, Xuan Lu snapped, “If the two of you allow him to barge in even after your preparations, forget about defending the White Deer Paradise. Just disband the sect and go into seclusion.”

After he spoke, his figure started to blur and he disappeared.

Seeing the look of worry on Hua Lu’s face, Yun Lu quickly reassured her, “Junior Sister, rest assured. Kou Chongxue was only able to enter earlier because he took advantage of the route we used to channel the world origin. We were caught off guard. The two of us are more than capable of stopping him. After all, we’re stronger than you think!”

“Senior Brother Yun, actually… I’m quite envious of him…” Hua Lu sighed all of a sudden.

Raising an eyebrow in shock, Yun Lu asked, “Why is that?”

“Look… Kou Chongxue can enter our Ji Continent as he wishes.” Hua Lu sighed.

Even though Yun Lu’s expression changed slightly, he didn’t say anything in response. He knew what she was driving at. Kou Chongxue merely sent a clone over with his Hidden Frost Sword and beat them to the point a massive hole was blown in their holy land. If he recovers fully and kills his way over, what were they supposed to do?

Hua Lu didn’t seem to see the ugly expression forming on Yun Lu’s face and she continued, “Compared to that guy, the two of us are trapped in this place all our lives. Even if we wish to leave, we can only remain in the confines of our Ji Continent or the Beyond Heavens Pavilion…”

“Junior Sister, don’t say any more…”

“I know.” Hua Lu smiled before she continued, “I have no other intentions. I had the chance to be like him in the past. However, I was too afraid to fail and chose to borrow the power of our White Deer Paradise to advance…”

.

It was true that Kou Chongxue had borrowed the power of the Water Origin Fate Dipper. Not only was he able to prolong the time he could stay in the White Deer Paradise, but it also allowed him to leave in one piece!

As the Hidden Frost Sword returned from the way it came from, it destroyed everything in its path. He didn’t wish to leave a way for those from the Ji Continent to intrude into the You Continent.

In the spirit cave under the Changfeng City… Shang Xia, who had been observing Shang Pei while restoring his Crimson Soul Tablet, could feel the subtle changes happening in the water level when Kou Chongxue smashed a hole through the White Deer Paradise earlier. The surge in world origin caused Shang Xia’s thoughts to run wild.

Did the old patriarch demolish the White Deer Paradise or something? Why the hell did the world origin increase suddenly?!

Well, he wasn’t wrong.

When his thoughts were still running wild, a sharp whistle filled the underground cavern as the Hidden Frost Sword returned.

Even though the Hidden Frost Sword hadn’t arrived, the sharp ringing was already causing Shang Xia’s mind to buzz.

Not too afraid for himself, Shang Xia couldn’t help but worry about Shang Pei who was undergoing her breakthrough. His divine sense surrounded her in an attempt to isolate her from the disturbance.

Despite his efforts, Shang Pei revealed a bitter look as the aura she emitted fluctuated unsteadily.

Strengthening the barrier of divine sense around her, Shang Xia tried to isolate the sharp ringing as much as he could. Her pained expression slowly eased, and Shang Xia heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed as though his Shang Clan would be able to produce yet another Martial Extermination Realm expert.

Also, Shang Xia realized that the terrifying events were about to draw to a close now that Kou Chongxue was returning. Pressing his lips together, Shang Xia rubbed his chin with slight discontent.

The third crack on his Crimson Soul Tablet hasn't fully healed. Close to a third of it still remained on the surface of the tablet.

Shang Xia couldn’t help but feel slightly reluctant that everything was about to end. He used so much world origin in the spirit cave, but he wasn’t able to fully restore the damage to the tablet! He didn’t know when another chance would come, but he knew that it wouldn’t be anytime soon.

He also discovered that with his increase in cultivation level, any change he wanted to make on the Crimson Soul Tablet took up a lot more energy than before. If he didn’t hasten the recovery of the tablet, it would probably crumble the next time he deduced the road for his future cultivation! When that happened, his fate could be imagined.

The more he thought about it, the cloudier his expression became. He didn’t realize that the whistling had already stopped and the water had already returned to its original state.

When he finally snapped back to reality, he discovered that Kou Chongxue’s clone had appeared in the spirit cave. He held his sword behind him as he stared at the kid.

“Patriarch!” Leaping to his feet, Shang Xia gave the man a greeting.

Waving slightly, Kou Chongxue’s gaze landed on Shang Pei not too far away. “You actually gave someone else your Yin Water Mysterious Extermination Origin and the set of advancement medicine… Looks like your relationship isn’t as simple as it seems…”

His words seemed really casual, and Shang Xia didn’t know if it was because his trip to the Ji Continent yielded great results or if he couldn’t be bothered with a mere Martial Extermination Realm expert.

Shang Xia quickly explained himself, “This… This is disciple’s third aunt. She’s not some random person I came across…”

“Oh?” Turning to look at her carefully, he seemed to have unlocked a memory that was deep in his mind. “I think I have some impression of her. She fell out with your grandfather in the past and ran away from home. Wow… You actually found her?”

Shang Xia didn’t understand Kou Chongxue’s stance on the matter but he didn’t dare to lie either. “Third Aunt has been part of the Eighteen Horsemen of the You Continent the whole time…”

Nodding slowly, Kou Chongxue sighed. “Then I guess it’s not a waste that you gave her those stuff then.”

Shang Xia felt a trace of relief washing over his heart as though he avoided some sort of calamity after hearing what Kou Chongxue said.

However, it didn’t seem as though he was placed in any sort of dangerous situation… Could it be?! Was it because of his Man and Heaven Synergy Chapter?

Patriarch Kou seems angry that I gave her the extermination origin and advancement medicine! It didn’t matter that she was my third aunt… He only backed off after hearing that she was part of the Eighteen Horsemen…

He only said that it wasn’t a waste after hearing that, and it seemed as though he had finally approved of his actions… It seemed as though Patriarch Kou had some knowledge of the Eighteen Horsemen of the You Continent…

Kou Chongxue’s voice boomed in his mind all of a sudden. “Large completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm! Your body is bloated with inner qi and you seem to have touched on your martial intent… Show me your comprehension!”
