Chapter 615: The Island that Belonged to the Jiao Continent

Chapter 615: The Island that Belonged to the Jiao Continent

Even though the new spatial tunnel had been constructed, the Tongyou Island didn’t immediately return to the Azure Origin World.

After hearing what Shang Bo had found, the Tongyou Island started to make their way over. This time, they had their own Martial Dipper Realm expert stationed on the island, ready to fight. They quickly approached the region where he found the ruins.

When they arrived, they saw fragments of land along with the remains of some structures. There were also many corpses drifting about in space.

Shang Bo, Yun Jing, Liu Qinglan, Shang Xia, Yan Su’er, and Ren Bainian hovered in the void while staring at the remains. The others were somewhat lacking in cultivation and couldn’t do the same.

“This definitely came from the Manyu Continent. From the looks of it, this happened recently.” Yan Su’er’s judgment of the situation was still pretty accurate.

“Why do the corpses look so messy? Did 2 islands meet and start a massive war or something?” Shang Xia glanced at the bodies floating in space and tried to identify which faction they came from. He discovered that they seemed to hail from different regions, and it was difficult to determine their background.

Liu Qinglan spoke from the side, “Whatever it is, we can confirm that they are definitely cultivators of our Azure Origin World…”

Yun Jing and Shang Bo glanced at each other before Yun Jing muttered, “Actually, these people look like they’re from the Jiao Continent.”

“Jiao Continent?” Shang Xia was slightly taken aback. “The Jiao Continent is barren and empty. Is the power established on the Jiao Continent actually capable of sending experts over to the Manyu Continent to try to fight for world origin?”

Liu Qinglan also sank into a contemplative silence. She seemed to have thought of something.

Yun Jing’s explanation started, “That’s exactly why they look like they hail from different factions. Because the Jiao Continent is barren and weak, the powers there are extremely messy.”

Shang Xia continued, “Actually, I was wondering if the Jiao Continent is filled with hidden talents and experts. After all, for them to be able to send their experts to the Manyu Continent, they definitely need the assistance of a Martial Dipper Realm Ancestor.”

Yun Jing nodded in response. “You’re right. Even though there isn’t a superpower in the Jiao Continent that controls the various powers there, they have quite a few Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors. If they unite and work together, there won’t be a need to talk about ordinary holy lands. Even the Divine Capital Sect or the Eternal Sect will feel a huge headache if that were to happen. Since the Jiao Continent managed to send a batch of experts to the Manyu Continent, it can only mean one thing. Several Martial Dipper Realm experts there formed an alliance.”

“Hiss… Are they really so strong?” Shang Xia revealed a shocked expression before starting to throw out possibilities. “Could they have reached some disagreement and started to fight among each other due to their different factions?”

“Nope.” Shang Bo, who had remained silent the whole time, finally spoke up.

Seeing as everyone had turned to him, he explained, “All of you might not know this, but there are traces of an expert from the Spirit Abundance World here. The expert of the Spirit Abundance World didn’t even plan on hiding himself. From the looks of it, their island was destroyed by that expert.” After a short pause, he continued, “The island might be destroyed, but a portion of their veteran Martial Extermination Realm experts should have been saved. That’s because there are also traces of Martial Dipper Realm experts of our Azure Origin World here. Back when I chased the person who attacked us over, I could feel tiny ripples of space in the area.”

Everyone nodded slowly after hearing his explanation. After Shang Bo entered the Martial Dipper Realm, he evidently gained the ability to notice things they couldn’t.

Liu Qinglan sounded a little discouraged when she spoke again. “That would mean that even though the Jiao Continent lost their island, the strongest experts stationed on the island had been brought away. Everything else should have been obtained by the expert who attacked them. We won’t be able to obtain much benefit from their ruins.”

Shang Xia realized that a long time ago. If world origin was still present, the Crimson Soul Tablet in his sea of consciousness would have already reacted.

That was how he located the source of the Manyu Continent’s World’s Will back then and obtained his Imperial Star Fate Dipper and fate dipper essences. The Crimson Soul Tablet was also how he discovered other islands were closing in to attack them.

Shang Bo laughed after hearing what Liu Qinglan said. “Even if we ignore everything else, the remaining land fragments here that might seem useless to the other powers are very valuable to our You Continent.”

With him taking control of the situation, several Martial Extermination Realm experts started to gather those broken fragments before dragging them over to the Tongyou Island.

Using the grand formation, Chu Jia temporarily linked those land fragments to themselves and prepared to bring them back to the Azure Origin World after activating the spatial tunnel again.

Luckily, the distance between the island and the Beyond Heavens Pavilion wasn’t too large at the moment. They didn’t really have to fuse those land fragments with themselves and it was perfectly alright if they just held on to them with the assistance of the grand formation.

After running around for a good half a day, a majority of the land fragments were gathered. They surrounded the Tongyou Island and they conservatively increased the size of the Tongyou Island to 1300 miles or so. They could barely classify themselves as a mid-sized island once again.

As for everything else they managed to gather after looking through the land fragments, they weren’t of much use to the Martial Extermination Realm experts present. However, the same couldn’t be said when it came to the Tongyou Institution. To the destitute Tongyou Institution, those treasures they scoured were really valuable resources they could use to nurture lower-leveled experts.

After taking away everything that was of use, Liu Qinglan sighed, “I wonder how many islands managed to successfully return to the Azure Origin World and the Azure Spiritual World…”

“The real goal of the Spirit Abundance World might not be to steal resources and world origin… I’m afraid their main aim is to find out the locations of our worlds in the vast sea of stars.” Shang Bo muttered in a low voice.

Shang Xia also spoke up, “Are they planning to invade our worlds and do what we did to the Manyu Continent?”

A chuckle left Shang Bo’s lips and a profound look could be seen in his eyes as he replied, “The goal of all worlds is ascension. The objective of our Azure Origin World and the Azure Spiritual World is to upgrade ourselves into a Spirit World. With the same logic, the Spirit Abundance World also wishes to reach a new level.”

“Are they trying to ascend past the rank of a Spirit World?” Shang Xia pondered out loud.

“Something like that.” Shang Bo nodded in response.

By the time their conversation ended, the spatial tunnel was ready to be activated. Before they could return, Chu Jia had to inform Kou Chongxue and Ji Wenlong about the fact that they retrieved even more land from the remains of the destroyed island so that they could prepare themselves.

Of course, she wasn’t issuing them a warning by telling them that. It was a mere notification that they were going to bring back even more land. With their current distance from the Beyond Heavens Pavilion and the presence of another Martial Dipper Realm expert, nothing would go wrong when they tried to bring the extra land back.

With everyone eagerly waiting to return, Shang Bo gave the signal and Chu Jia activated the grand formation. The Tongyou Island and the extra landmass they picked up quickly entered the new spatial tunnel.

Because the extra land fragments weren't truly connected to the Tongyou Island, a portion of it fell off due to the turbulence in the spatial tunnel.

Shang Xia looked around pensively before asking his grandfather, “Grandpa, do you have a feeling that the experts of the Spirit Abundance World will come knocking?”

Glancing at him from the corner of his eye, Shang Bo chuckled, “You noticed?”

Shang Xia stared at one of the land fragments that had broken off the Tongyou Island and laughed, “If you were willing to help out, it won’t be difficult for us to contain all those fragments and bring them back to the Azure Origin World. However, you don’t seem too concerned with it. From the way you’re acting, you look prepared in case something were to happen.”

Ren Bainian, who seemed to become mute after Shang Bo appeared earlier, finally managed to gather his courage to say something. “Will there still be Martial Dipper Realm experts coming to look for us?”

In actuality, Shang Bo didn’t have a bad impression of Ren Bainian. He sighed softly, “Those people aren’t fools. Since a Martial Dipper Realm expert of theirs had died, there would be no point sending more to their deaths. That is why…”

He paused for a second before breaking out with a hearty chuckle. “... Anyway, the Martial Dipper Realm should be the limit for cultivators in our Azure Origin World. The Spirit Abundance World ranks above our Azure Worlds and their limit should be experts in the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm!”

Everyone stared at him in shock and Yun Jing couldn’t help but ask, “Will their expert at the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm really make a move? How will we be able to withstand an attack of that level?”

Shang Bo chuckled in response, “Why should we be the ones to take an attack of that level? Moreover, don’t you think that is a great opportunity for us to verify our guesses on how strong the Divine Capital Sect, Eternal Sect, and Northern Sea Mystic Sect actually are? Unless they’re willing to expose the location of our worlds to the Spirit Abundance World, they have to make a move. After all, people at our level would never be able to stop an expert at the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm.”

Yan Su’er chimed in suddenly, “Does the Northern Sea Mystic Sect really have an existence in the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm? Didn’t you say that the limit of our Azure Worlds is the Martial Dipper Realm?”

“That is why those experts can never make an appearance. It’s not that they don’t wish to show themselves, but they probably can’t. Well, whatever the case, as long as they really exist, it doesn’t matter if they can roam around our Azure Origin World or the Azure Spiritual World. Their sect will stand above all the other factions.”

Yan Su’er asked again, “How did they manage to break through the limit?”

“Patriarch Yan, I’m sure you know that there are several experts in the Martial Dipper Realm who can’t leave their holy lands in the Azure Spiritual World.” Shang Bo replied. Seeing her sink into contemplation, he nodded once and continued, “If there really are existences in the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm in our worlds, the restriction they would face would be even stronger than that!”

After entering the Martial Dipper Realm, Shang Bo seemed to gain a deeper understanding of how the world worked.

Also, the Tongyou Island managed to stabilize themselves in the spatial tunnel by the time they were done speaking.

Feeling a slight disturbance, Shang Bo turned to stare at Shang Xia and his eyes widened in shock. “Imperial Star Fate Dipper! Where did you get a superior ORigin Dipper like that?!”

Shang Xia wanted to explain the entire process of how he got it, but Shang Bo didn’t wait for him to start talking. He pointed at the dreamy starlight that was gathering and said, “This is Star Essence! Are you using the spatial compression of the tunnel to gather Star Essence? This is such a rare opportunity!”

Shang Bo commended the kid before reaching his hand out at the space above Shang Xia’s head. Circulating his Fate Dipper Qi, a huge stream of Star Essence descended from the twisted space above the island.

If Shang Xia’s speed of gathering Star Essence was like rain through a broken roof, Shang Bo caused the rain to turn into a giant waterfall of Star Essence.

Shang Xia gathered half a case of Star Essence after completing the majority of their journey back to the Azure Origin World. That was before they were attacked. However, the case in his hand was almost filled in a short moment now that Shang Bo had acted.

Hastily opening another jade case, Shang Xia continued to store the incoming Star Essence.
