Chapter 1036: Integration
In that short time, the Spirit Luxuriant World not only gained a new True Immortal... 2 of them entered the second tier and their collective strength increased greatly.
That wasn’t all. Hua Jianlou, Chu Wugen, and True Immortal Jiu from the Spirit Tinkle World who reached the third tier of the Martial Void Realm, the External Unity stage, could tell that be it Yang Taihe or Zhang Xuansheng, both of them already had the qualifications to step into the same realm as themselves.
Because they used a bit of energy earlier, they didn’t use the opportunity when the World Will’s blessing arrived to break through.
However, it wouldn’t be long before they broke through. The moment they restored their energy, it would be time to advance.
It was also why True Immortal Wugen felt that it wouldn’t be easy for them to scheme against the Spirit Luxuriant World in the future.
Of course, to the various True Immortals who took part in the battle, multiple True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World being at the edge of advancement wasn’t the reason why they failed. They understood that the real reason they failed was because Shang Xia managed to fight 2 people at once while killing one of his opponents!
Even though Shang Xia consolidated his foundations and reached the peak of the first tier... Even if he had the support of the world and the blessing from the World’s Will... He was only supposed to possess the combat capabilities of an expert in the second tier!
He might have used the Stellar Cauldron and his Stone Rod, and his Five Element Ring might possess some properties of a Holy Artifact, but they weren’t enough reason to explain how Shang Xia managed to kill a second tier Martial Void Realm expert when fighting 2 of them!
He had to be hiding a massive secret!
No... To be more exact, the way he cultivated allowed him to possess combat strength far surpassing cultivators of the same level!
His Void Origin had abundant energy and his domain could be said to be flawless. However, his ability to draw on the power of his world was even more perfect. From what they observed, he had perfect command of the power of an entire continent.
The experts of the other worlds, even those from the Spirit Luxuriant World, wanted to know how Shang Xia did it!
Kou Chongxue was the only person among them who knew what it was because of Shang Xia’s unique cultivation path.
From what he had seen, there was no doubt about it. Shang Xia’s cultivation path was even more complete than his, and it was tyrannically powerful!
Without exception, as the experts from the other worlds pulled away, every one of them stared at Shang Xia for a good second.
After that battle, they realized that they had been focusing on the wrong person the whole time. That youngster would be the most terrifying expert from the Spirit Luxuriant World in the future!
...
In the Star Relay of the Star Origin City...
After Zhuge Xiang returned from where the Azure Flame World used to be, he hastily ran over to the Star Relay. What he needed to do was to rush over to the Spirit Luxuriant World with the greatest speed possible.
The continent the Spirit Luxuriant World gave up would definitely not contain the treasure he was looking for, and there was no doubt about it. The Spirit Luxuriant World wouldn’t give up an entire Elysium just because he asked for it.
However, with things in their current state, it would be extremely difficult for him to gain back the trust of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Even so, he had to give it a shot no matter how embarrassing it was.
One had to say that the Spirit Luxuriant World was growing at a terrifying pace. It was so fast that even he had no confidence in trying to estimate their strength.
When he arrived, Liu Jiuzhen was already prepared to reopen the spatial tunnel to the Spirit Luxuriant World. However, Zhuge Xiang saw that he was standing there with an overcast expression.
A moment later, Liu Jiuzhen went to Zhuge Xiang but was stopped before he could say anything.
Seeing the look on Liu Jiuzhen’s face, Zhuge Xiang muttered, “If the matter has concluded, I will no longer be in a rush to head over to the Spirit Luxuriant World. Otherwise, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World will definitely take me as someone there to suppress them with my might. If that happens, our plan will backfire...”
“Oh...” Liu Jiuzhen mumbled, “About this...”
Glancing at him from the corner of his eye, Zhuge Xiang sighed, “Is the spatial tunnel leading to the Spirit Luxuriant World still closed? It’s alright, we expected as much. With my abilities, it won’t be difficult to look for the approximate area of the Spirit Luxuriant World with the clues left behind from this sealed spatial tunnel. I will only have to use a little time to scan the area...”
Nodding slightly, Liu Jiuzhen muttered, “Of course, but...”
Seemingly having thought of something, Zhuge Xiang chuckled, “Well... Regardless, I believe they should be in a pretty bad spot right now. Actually, I just thought about it. Since the Spirit Abundance World learned that the Spirit Luxuriant World planned to conquer the Azure Flame World on their own, they wouldn’t let them off easy. They know the location of the Spirit Luxuriant World and all they have to do is to camp there and wait for them to return. In fact, they might even reveal the location of the Spirit Luxuriant World and carry out a joint operation with other worlds. They would be able to gather a terrifying force and obtain the greatest amount of benefits from the Spirit Luxuriant World... Looks like the Spirit Luxuriant World didn’t think their plan through. They worked so hard only to benefit the rest...”
“About that... Guards Commander Xiang...” Liu Jiuzhen gulped and realized that he wasn’t able to hold it in any longer. However, he couldn’t just leave without telling Zhuge Xiang what happened...
Finally discovering Liu Jiuzhen’s strange reactions, Zhuge Xiang finally turned to ask, “What’s the matter?”
Avoiding Zhuge Xiang’s gaze, Liu Jiuzhen muttered in a low voice, “We received news earlier that the Spirit Abundance World gathered the experts of the Spirit Tinkle World, Azure Qing World, and Azure Sea World to attack the Spirit Luxuriant World. A total of 12 True Immortals were involved...”
“Oh?” Zhuge Xiang chuckled in response. “Looks like the Spirit Abundance World went all out for this... To call on so many True Immortals, the Spirit Abundance World had to pay a huge price. So... How many continents did they snatch from the Spirit Luxuriant World?”
Liu Jiuzhen wanted to interrupt Zhuge Xiang several times, but he didn’t have the guts to do so. In the end, he waited for the Guards Commander to finish before bracing himself to answer, “They... They didn’t get anything!”
Turning around abruptly, Zhuge Xiang stared at Liu Jiuzhen, waiting for an explanation.
Feeling his scalp going numb from the stare he was getting, Liu Jiuzhen didn’t dare to hide anything. “Not only didn’t get not get anything, Liu Tianyu, a second tier Martial Void Realm True Immortal from the Spirit Abundance World was killed...”
Zhuge Xiang remained expressionless as he stared at Liu Jiuzhen before turning back to walk toward the stone hall.
Catching up to Zhuge Xiang, Liu Jiuzhen gasped, “Guards Commander, you...”
Without even turning back, Zhuge Xiang sighed, “You don’t have to follow. I’ll be fine heading over alone.”
“What if...” Liu Jiuzhen stuttered.
“There’s nothing to worry about. I’m not going there to threaten them. I’m going to propose a way for us to cooperate.”
Standing outside the hall, Liu Jiuzhen looked at Zhuge Xiang’s back and mumbled to himself, “Cooperate? Did the Spirit Luxuriant World prove themselves to the Guards Commander or something?”
...
In the Spirit Luxuriant World...
After the experts of the other worlds left, Shang Xia and Huang Jinghan were left patrolling the heavenly screen.
Zhang Jianzi returned to consolidate his foundations and as for the others... They were in charge of their factions and even if they suffered heavy injuries, they needed to deal with the matter of splitting up the 3 continents of the Azure Flame World.
As the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World were stuck in a battle with the experts outside the heavenly screen when the continents were sent back into their world, they needed all the help they could get and didn’t restrict their world from devouring the Azure Flame World.
Even though it gave them the much needed boost during their battle, it became a lot more difficult to split up the continents...
After all, the moment the Spirit Luxuriant World devoured and assimilated those continents, that would mean that they had already been integrated into their world. They would have to force the continents apart before bringing them away and sealing up the damage they caused...
It would be exactly the same as tearing open a healing wound before stitching it up again!
Of the 3 continents of the Azure Flame World, the Eastern Nuanyuan Continent had an Elysium and 2 Holy Lands while the Western Wenchen Continent had 3 Holy Lands. The Southern Yanlin Continent had a single, complete, Holy Land.
The Yanlin Holy Land had been kept in the best condition. Even the Cangming Elysium where Kou Chongxue had personally taken charge suffered massive damage. The other Holy Lands also suffered damages to varying degrees. Different parts collapsed on their way back to the Spirit Luxuriant World and 2 of them suffered the most damage. They would need massive restoration works...
Only 1 of the Holy Lands other than the Yanlin Holy Land was relatively complete and it was swiftly acquired by Lu Wuzi.
The Ice Essence Sect might have started their preparations before they were established, but their foundations were truly too shallow to form a Holy Land. Even if they had a True Immortal and close to 10 Martial Dipper Realm experts, it wasn’t an easy task.
Now that they obtained a relatively complete Holy Land, they would be able to make up for their weakness and truly establish themselves.
Of course, other than the Holy Land, Lu Wuzi managed to obtain other benefits with the support of Kou Chongxue and the Tongyou Institution. He was promised a region of land from the core of the Western Wenchen Continent. After it was integrated into the Bing Continent where the Ice Essence Sect was, it could be used to improve the impoverished continent...
The continents of the Azure Flame World were massive, and they were equivalent to 3 ordinary continents of the Spirit Luxuriant World. However, they still came from an Azure World at the end of the day and if they took into account the sizes of the continents, the world essence that was contained in them was barely a third of what the continents of the Spirit Luxuriant World would contain.
That would mean on the same scale, the massive continent that they obtained from the Azure Flame World barely had the same amount of world essence of a single continent the Spirit Luxuriant World contained!
If they fully integrated the continents of the Azure Flame World, it would be equivalent to adding 3 ordinary continents into the Spirit Luxuriant World. Of course, things couldn’t be considered so simply. There were huge seas contained in the continents and those contained large amounts of world essence...
The Spirit Luxuriant World couldn’t possibly add several new continents in their current state. The continents would eventually be integrated into the already existing continents. Other than the Elysiums and Holy Lands that had already been established, it wouldn’t be long before the Spirit Luxuriant World would start to see traces of the Azure Flame World in their world.
