However, he quickly realized he was thinking too much. The rewards had been split into many parts. Even if it gave each individual great benefits, it wasn’t enough to bring them to the entrance of the Martial Dipper Realm.

“Other than them, there were many experts in the institution who managed to increase their cultivation. Actually, I arranged for some of them to enter the Tongyou Paradise before coming over. It won’t be long before a new batch of Martial Intent Realm and Martial Extermination Realm experts is produced.”

The Tongyou Institution basically poured a good majority of disciples into the battlefield between the two worlds in order to obtain the advantage they had. The You Continent was basically sapped dry during that period of time. Ji Wenlong, Shang Bo, and Shang Xia were basically the only experts who were supporting the continent while the others were fighting in the battlefield between the two worlds.

Even though the institution had been expanding the past few years, their foundations were far too lacking when compared to the other factions.

“How were our losses in the battlefield between the two worlds?” Shang Xia asked with concern.

“We lost far less than the 3 Races of the Liao Continent and the Changbai Holy Land…” Yun Jing laughed at his question. “It’s all thanks to the battle formation you came up with. It showed its might during the conflicts in the battlefield between the two worlds and many of our students used it in the critical moment to save their lives. Some of them were able to turn the situation around and kill opponents stronger than them. We can only imagine how many students will start practicing your battle formation in the near future.”

Shang Xia nodded slightly in response.

Afraid he wouldn’t be able to understand what that entailed, Yun Jing couldn’t help but ask again, “Do you understand what this means?!”

Shang Xia continued nodding and muttered, “Deputy Patriarch Yun, there’s no need to worry. I will definitely show my face around the Teaching Division more in the future. After all, I’m still a teacher of the Inner Division.”

“Oh, we used up a good portion of rank two, three, and four talismans back in the battlefield between the two worlds. We would need to trouble you to replenish them soon…” Yun Jing added.

“Looks like it’s going to get a little busy.” Shang Xia chuckled bitterly.

Yun Jing seemed to have thought of something and her expression changed slightly. “Did you hand a rank three talisman seal to your clansman?”

“Huh?” Shang Xia was slightly taken aback. He might have realized something and he asked, “How do you know about that? Did Uncle Quan use it to craft talismans already?”

Before leaving for the Celestial Remains, Shang Xia passed Shang Quan the rank three talisman seal and instructed him to nurture it with his divine sense day and night. He wondered if the process was already complete.

If that was true, Shang Xia would feel way more excited than when he heard about the widespread acceptance of his Yin Yang Extremity Formation.

Yun Jing grinned after seeing his reaction. “Looks like it’s true. I might not have seen him or the talismans created with the sea, but I heard that a batch of rank three talismans appeared at the critical moment and turned the tides of battle in our favor.”

“If that is true, that would mean that it’s possible for me to craft rank three talisman seals. In that case…” Shang Xia mumbled happily to himself.

“If that’s the case, I’m afraid many people will have their eyes on the rank three talisman seal from now on…” Yun Jing interrupted.

The smile on Shang Xia’s face faded slightly.

However, Yun Jing wasn’t done. She continued, “From how you refined 4 extermination origins to enter the Martial Extermination Realm, to your breakthrough to the Martial Dipper Realm without an Origin Dipper… Now, you successfully created talisman seals, you enabled non-Talisman Masters to craft talismans. There’s also the battle formation for low-level cultivators of the institution. Little Xia, you displayed an entirely new cultivation path. Do you understand what that means?”

Chuckling softly, Shang Xia sighed, “Yeah. That was why I was trying to enter the Martial Dipper Realm as soon as possible. Luckily I succeeded.”

“Yeah, fortunately, you’re a Martial Dipper Realm Ancestor now.” Yun Jing nodded slightly in response.

Shang Xia’s lips trembled slightly. That was how they classified it, but his cultivation realm was actually called the Five Elements Realm. He wanted to mention it, but he decided to change his words at the last second. “Disciple can’t be considered an Ancestor when compared to you.”

Sniggering under her breath, Yun Jing changed the topic. “Alright, go do what you have to. I’ll handle things here.”

Before he left, he didn’t forget to remind her, “Deputy Patriarch Yun, you need to pay attention to those islands created by the fragments of land. If anything were to happen, those islands might be the fuse that starts it all.”

…

After bidding farewell to Yun Jing, Shang Xia returned to the Tongyou Island.

With his cultivation at the Martial Dipper Realm, he could travel through space and cross thousands of miles at once. He was able to create a spatial tunnel to the Beyond Heavens Pavilion from wherever he was if he so wished.

However, he didn’t head immediately towards the Tongyou Institution. After leaving the east, he went over to the south before traveling west along the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range. He didn’t conceal his aura during the process.

Currently, there were countless spiritual beasts residing in the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range. They escaped from the battlefield between the two worlds back then, and there were several high-level spiritual beasts among them.

If those high-level beasts were to band together, they would be able to cause a beast tide on a massive scale. It would pose a significant threat to the continent.

The reason Shang Xia traveled across the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range was to give them a warning and suppress them slightly with his aura.

When he arrived at the spot where Kou Chongxue’s sword qi cleaved a huge ravine through the mountain range, he lingered for a little while more. He even tried to feel the changes in the heaven and earth qi in the surroundings caused by the destruction.

By the time he returned to the Tongyou Paradise after his ‘tour’ of the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range, he discovered that many disciples of the institution were in closed door seclusion.

He couldn’t be bothered to inspect them one by one as he discovered Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo gathered under the Nine Blossom Jade Formation Disc.

When he arrived where they were, he shot a glance at them and asked, “What’s going on?” Surprisingly, his question wasn’t directed to either of the old men. He was speaking to Chu Jia who had also arrived.

She looked at the formation disc before explaining, “More than two-thirds of the world origin and origin essence we retrieved from the Manyu Continent has been absorbed by the World’s Will.”

“So?” Shang Xia couldn’t understand what that meant.

Shang Bo turned to look at Shang Xia the next moment and mumbled, “Little Chu thinks that the World Ascension wouldn’t be too successful looking at how things are going right now.”

A deep frown appeared on Shang Xia’s face. “Don’t we still have a third left? I don’t know how much world origin and origin essence the other factions have, but the 3 Elysiums and the stronger factions would definitely have more than us.”

“Yeah? But there aren’t many factions with more origin essence than us. Unless some of them held back intentionally, my prediction should be correct.” Chu Jia said confidently.

“Are you certain?!” Shang Xia turned serious.

Chu Jia turned to him and muttered, “Do you know what rewards I received from the World’s Will earlier?”

Shang Xia’s curiosity was piqued after hearing her question. That was because as the Formation Grandmaster of the Tongyou Institution, Chu Jia’s contribution might not be any lesser than the Martial Dipper Realm experts present.

“I saw a complete formation diagram with the World’s Will at its center. It was connected to the various Holy Lands and Elysiums and the connections depicted the the full diagram.” Chu Jia explained.

Shang Xia’s eyes widened slightly. That seemed familiar. In fact, it was pretty similar to what he had seen.

Instead of a formation diagram, he managed to see a way to circulate his inner qi.

Did everyone comprehend different meanings from the same scene?

“Because of the diagram, I was able to determine the amount of world origin and origin essence coming from the other factions. I can say for certain that the amount we have isn\'t enough to complete the World Ascension!” Chu Jia concluded.

Despite what she said, Shang Xia didn’t have time to care about her deduction. Instead, he touched on another important point. “How do you even know how much origin essence and world origin there are? Are you also able to determine where each faction is by their connection to the World’s Will and the amount of world origin and origin essence they have left?”

Chu Jia was slightly taken aback by his question. “I might not be able to determine that, but the World’s Will can. It seems like the World’s Will is drawing origin essence from the various factions proportional to the amount they have left. As such, I made a deduction and can somewhat find out how much world origin and origin essence each faction has…”

“So that’s it…” Shang Xia nodded in realization. He became even more curious the next moment. “In that case, do you know how our Tongyou Institution fared compared to the other factions? Where do we rank in terms of amount of world origin and origin essence we absorbed from the Manyu Continent?”

Chu Jia seemed to have been taking note of that since a long time ago. She didn’t hesitate for a second and gave Shang Xia an answer immediately. “We’re either the sixth or seventh ranked faction when it comes to the amount of world origin and origin essence obtained from the Manyu Continent.”

In other words, other than the 3 Elysiums, the Tongyou Institution was ranked extremely highly in terms of how much they gained from the Manyu Continent.

Seeing as Shang Xia and Chu Jia were getting further and further away from what Shang Bo mentioned previously, Ji Wenlong interrupted their conversation. “Hey! We’re talking about the World Ascension here! Are you planning to stop providing the world with origin essence and world origin since the ascension is bound to fail anyway? Are you telling us to use the rest to strengthen the foundations of our Holy Land?”

Shang Xia thought for a second before asking, “Would that cause a backlash from the world? Is there a possibility for us to be rejected from the new world if we choose to do that?”

“That is why we should pretend that there’s an accident…” Chu Jia mumbled while staring at the few Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors before her.

Shit! She’s really gutsy alright…

Shang Xia thought about how daring she was before wondering what type of accident they could cause to…

Rumble…

Cracks started to form on the surface of the Nine Blossom Jade Formation Disc the next moment. The transmission of world origin and origin essence to the new world was interrupted immediately.

When the Nine Blossom Jade Formation Disc came under attack and was damaged, Shang Xia seemed to have thought of something. His eyes widened in fright and he stared at the bunch in front of him. “Damn! You guys are ruthless!”
