Chapter 998: Lu Wuzi Ascends, Northern Sea Splits

Kou Chongxue, Shang Xia, and Huang Yu could only watch as the 8 continents were brought away. Nothing was left for them to take advantage of.

As they made their way back, the atmosphere around them seemed a lot more muted.

The Spirit Luxuriant World might have reached the level of a Spirit World, but due to how newly they ascended, their foundations were far too shallow.

Even though it seemed like they had 5 True Immortals at the helm, 4 of them were chained to their Elysiums and couldn’t leave. Kou Chongxue was the only one who wasn’t restricted to the Spirit Luxuriant World. However, he also broke through recently and he was a mere first tier Martial Void Realm True Immortal...

Looking at the Azure Worlds who took part in the expedition, the Spirit Luxuriant World couldn’t even compare to those Azure Worlds who could send strong True Immortals over to take part in the invasion. In fact, even the exterminated Azure Oddity World had True Immortal Zhuang, an expert at the second tier Martial Void Realm, who could roam around the vast sea of stars.

Shang Xia’s thoughts suddenly returned to the 4 Martial Dipper Realm experts who left the Azure Oddity World on the dark gold flying ship and he decided to tell Huang Yu what he told them.

After hearing what Shang Xia said, their reactions seemed a little strange. The next moment, they ran over to the other side while whispering among themselves. They only stopped after half a day had passed.

With Shang Xia’s understanding of the 2, those troublemakers were most probably cooking up some sinister plan... Of course, he didn’t dare to interrupt their conversation.

After sending Huang Yu back to the Star Origin City, Shang Xia returned to the Spirit Luxuriant World with Kou Chongxue.

Half a year had passed since Shang Xia left for the Star Origin City to meet up with Huang Yu back then. He had been through many adventures since then, heading to the Spirit Abundance World and the Azure Oddity World right after. With the 3 years he spent in seclusion back in the Jiao Continent after the second invasion of the Spirit Abundance World failed, it was already the fifth year since the Spirit Luxuriant World completed its ascension!

Back when the worlds fused to form the Azure Ascension World, there had been many people who suggested getting rid of the Divine Martial Calendar and the Spirit Martial Calendar the words used to keep track of the time. They wanted to create another unified calendar for the Azure Ascension World.

Back then, the difference between experts of both worlds were still at a somewhat irreconcilable stage and it wasn’t easy to agree on anything, with a unified calendar being the least of their concerns.

It didn’t take the world too long to ascend into the Spirit Luxuriant World after the fusion, and with the experience of being invaded twice, experts from the Azure Origin World and Azure Spiritual World joined hands to fight the enemy. A sense of comradery was formed and differences that seemed impossible to work through were dissolved as they started to acknowledge each other better.

With the Spirit Luxuriant World finally taking shape, there was no longer any conflict about creating a unified calendar. The cultivation world immediately suggested the Spirit Luxuriant World\'s birth to be their history\'s epoch. Since its birth, 5 years had passed and they were currently in the 5th year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar!

Staring at the Spirit Luxuriant World from the depths of space, one would be able to discover the huge changes it experienced.

More than half a year ago, the asteroid belts, giant scattered landmasses from god knows where, and massive clouds of stardust started to gather around the Spirit Luxuriant World. Even though they hadn’t reached the level where they would completely hide the heavenly screen, they still provided pretty good cover. Anyone who didn’t know where the Spirit Luxuriant World was wouldn’t be able to discover it when they were passing through the sea of stars. Even True Immortals weren’t exceptions...

As Shang Xia continued to approach the Spirit Luxuriant World, he discovered the presence of defensive fortifications and formations on those asteroid belts, landmasses, and clouds of stardust. They were clearly developed through the alliance of the various powers of the Spirit Luxuriant World, and they formed some sort of defensive system for their world.

Of course, that didn’t mean that the entire system had already been completed. They required an astronomical amount of resources and it was clear they were still working on it.

Even without Kou Chongxue to bring him around, Shang Xia was able to avoid those layers of defenses and silently approach the Spirit Luxuriant World.

As they approached the heavenly screen, a burst of chaos happened in the northern region of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia’s attention were immediately drawn over.

Powerful waves of energy rushed towards the heavenly screen, and the powerful disturbance alarmed nearly half the world.

Both Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia could feel the World Origin Source rolling violently. It even seemed as though it was about to boil...

Shang Xia, who experienced something like that more than once, yelled in shock, “Someone is breaking through to the Martial Void Realm!”

Kou Chongxue didn’t respond as the frown on his face grew deeper with the powerful waves of energy growing stronger and stronger.

It didn’t take long for 3 other powerful majestic auras to appear above the heavenly screen to stare at the source of the disturbance.

Even though their attention was drawn over, they still noticed Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue as they slowly approached the heavenly screen.

“Oh? True Immortal Kou, you’re back?” Liu Jingsheng was the first to speak. Even though Liu Jingsheng was talking to Kou Chongxue, Shang Xia could feel his gaze on him.

Kou Chongxue chuckled softly, “What’s going on now? I left for a little over half a year, but such a big transformation happened over there...”

Obviously, he was referring to the source of the disturbance. All of them stared straight at where the Northern Sea Mystic Sect was.

True Immortal Liu smiled while shaking his head. “My Yuanchen Sect is simply too far from the Northern Sea Mystic Sect. I have no idea what is happening there at the moment, but from the looks of it, they should be welcoming their second True Immortal!”

Kou Chongxue chuckled to himself. All of them knew what happened back then. Whether or not the newly ascended True Immortal would remain in the Northern Sea Mystic Sect was unknown!

Moreover, the Northern Sea Mystic Sect had an Elysium. It would be able to hide the disturbance caused by the breakthrough and even increase the chances of success. Not only would the World Origin Source not churn as much, but the sudden emergence of the aura wouldn’t cause the heavenly screen to nearly flip over!

From how intense the fluctuations were, it was clear the person who broke through was doing it outside the Elysium!

“True Immortal Kou... Since you’re back, would that mean that the matter regarding the Azure Oddity World has come to a close?” True Immortal Yang Taihe of the Eternal Palace asked. However, Shang Xia also noticed how Yang Taihe turned his attention to him for a split second.

Kou Chongxue stared at Shang Xia who was feeling a little uneasy and laughed, “The Azure Oddity World was divided up between 4 Spirit Worlds and 4 Azure Worlds.”

Sighing softly, he continued, “What I saw really widened my horizons. I saw how they split up a world with as little wastage as possible. Compared to them, our method at obtaining the Manyu Continent seemed way too crude.”

True Immortal Li Jidao of the Divine Capital Sect couldn’t help but add, “True Immortal Kou, why don’t you tell us what happened? After all, our Spirit Luxuriant World also has to walk down that path in the future.”

Shooting him a glance, Kou Chongxue muttered softly, “Why are you in such a rush? We can’t possibly leave True Immortal Zhang out of this discussion. Let’s wait for this matter to be settled before we talk about what happened to the Azure Oddity World.”

Unlike the Yuanchen Sect which seemed to have formed an alliance with the Tongyou Institution and the Eternal Palace they had better relations with, the Tongyou Institution and the Divine Capital Sect seemed to have a lot of grudges against each other. After all, their conflicts had been accumulating for a long time and the relationship between their True Immortals was nothing short of antagonistic.

Liu Jingsheng could feel the subtle shift in the atmosphere between them and he quickly added, “Looking at the transformation that is happening, Lu Wuzi should be the expert attempting the breakthrough...”

Yang Taihe nodded in agreement. “According to what we know, True Immortal Zhang actually nurtured another disciple who reached the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm. That person never appeared during both invasions. It’s obvious how deep their schemes were. After the formation of our Spirit Luxuriant World, I thought that the disciple would be able to complete the breakthrough to enter the Martial Void Realm... Who would have thought that Lu Wuzi would be a step ahead...?”

Li Jidao’s gasp rang suddenly in their ears. “This is strange... Why hasn’t True Immortal Zhang appeared?”

Li Jidao’s question hit the crux of the problem and everyone couldn’t help but think of the possibilities.

The birth of a True Immortal was a matter of great importance! As their ancestor or master, Zhang Xuansheng should have appeared to protect him while he completed the process! However... Not only did Lu Wuzi not attempt to break through in their Elysium, but Zhang Xuansheng was nowhere to be seen!

One had to know that of the 4 True Immortals standing above the heavenly screen, as long as one of them had the intention to interrupt the process, Lu Wuzi’s ascension would basically be over. No one would be able to react in time to save Lu Wuzi! Hell... Even Shang Xia would be able to interrupt the ascension process if he wanted to!

One could say that Lu Wuzi was banking everything on the other True Immortals! His breakthrough was basically a gamble that the other True Immortals were reasonable enough and were thinking for the sake of the Spirit Luxuriant World!

Eventually, a soft sigh left Yang Taihe’s lips. “Looks like Lu Wuzi is really going to break off all relations with Zhang Xuansheng... True Immortal Li, do you know what happened?”

There was no question about it. Li Jidao could be said to have the closest relationship with Zhang Xuansheng among all of them.

A low voice eventually escaped his lips. “I’m more curious about what happened to True Immortal Zhang at the moment. How can he not be concerned about such a massive disturbance?”

“Could they have made some sort of secret agreement?” Liu Jingsheng wondered out loud. However, he realized how absurd he sounded and he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

The next second, all of them felt a strange disturbance in the north. An enraged cry filled the heavens and earth. “Lu Wuzi, you lied to your teacher and plotted against your ancestor! You ungrateful bastard! I actually fell for your schemes!”

A loud blast caused the heavenly screen above the Northern Sea Mystic Sect to tremble as massive gales threatened to sweep through the entirety of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Of course, Yang Taihe and the rest wouldn’t let that happen. All 4 of them acted in unison as they prevented the spatial fluctuations that originated from the blast from affecting the rest of the world.

Yang Taihe sighed softly, “I might not know what exactly happened, but True Immortal Zhang’s divine soul seemed to be trapped in the Northern Sea Elysium. There is no way anyone could have done it on his own. I’m afraid we’re going to watch the Northern Sea Mystic Sect fall apart today...”
