Chapter 1170: Essence Ping World

The Crimson Soul Tablet seemed different from last time when it started to devour the energy in the air. In the past, when it was absorbing different types of energies, it had to be absorbed into Shang Xia before the tablet could do its thing.

Things were different this time. Half the tablet emerged from Shang Xia’s glabella suddenly and with a mere intention, it started absorbing the chaotic energies on its own.

Moreover, it did so extremely rapidly. The more it absorbed, the faster it sucked in both types of energy. The blurry image of half the Crimson Soul Tablet that emerged started to become a lot more solid.

As for Shang Xia himself... As the tablet continued to absorb the energy in the cave, he felt his body growing lighter. The suppression he felt was greatly alleviated.

Even though The power of suppression he felt didn’t fully disappear, under such circumstances, Shang Xia felt that it was a lot easier to move around than before, and the efficiency at which he could restore his inner qi also improved.

He might be surprised at first, but he quickly discovered the reason behind it.

The Crimson Soul Tablet might be the one absorbing the energy, but the Crimson Soul Tablet and Shang Xia were one and the same.

That wasn’t all. He had a guess ever since he stepped into the world and he was finally able to verify it. World origin that existed into the world of frost actually produced both the power of the stars and the power of frost. Initially, Shang Xia thought that due to them being of an exceptionally high-level, both energies shouldn’t coexist in the world. After all, their characteristics were also very different.

From what he knew, world origin was created from world essence and it was something that nourished everything that was produced by the world. Be it the power of frost or the power of the stars, both had distinct characteristics and they shouldn’t exist at the same time in lifeforms created from the world.

However, with how the Crimson Soul Tablet was absorbing them both and him feeling the weakened effects of the suppression, he had no choice but to believe that both energies were what made up the world origin.

As he continued to absorb both energies that remained dormant in the spring water, the World’s Will eventually descended and imprinted a name in his consciousness.

Essence Ping World!

Shang Xia’s suspicion was also cleared at that point. It was true that he had arrived in an Essence World!

From how much energy he was absorbing, Shang Xia started to think that the mouth of the spring was actually connected to the World Origin Source of the Essence Ping World.

No...

From how the pool was disappearing as the Crimson Soul Tablet continued to absorb its energy, Shang Xia made a bold assumption that the pool was actually a separate entity from the World Origin Source, but it was created after balancing the power of frost and the power of the stars.

It could be said to be a World Origin Sea that was similar to the World Origin Source, just way smaller in size.

Even though it accumulated a lot of energy during its dormant years, a good half of it had already been absorbed by the Crimson Soul Tablet.

Only then did the Crimson Soul Tablet show signs that it was starting to get full. It shook slowly before it sank back into Shang Xia’s sea of consciousness. It also stopped devouring the energy in the tiny World Origin Sea.

Shang Xia took 2 steps back as he distanced himself from the pool to prevent any accidents from happening.

The power of frost continued to pour out from the mouth of the spring, and the pillar of starlight also fell directly on it. Even though the pillar of starlight was a little dimmer than before, it still held steady.

After some time, the power of frost in the cave was balanced out and it sank back into the pool below. Rays of scattered starlight also gathered back into the pillar of starlight that stood quietly in the middle of the cave.

Even though the power of frost and the power of the stars would emerge from time to time, they seemed to slowly be returning to a state of equilibrium. Of course, it might take a little more time in order to do so.

Shang Xia raised an eyebrow in shock as he closed his palm only to feel an unsteady projection of a long tablet in his hand. It didn’t take long before it disappeared again.

Even though it only existed for a split second, Shang Xia had a strange feeling that if he used the chance to activate it, the frozen wasteland that stretched endlessly where he arrived would be flipped upside down, not to mention the cave he was in.

If that happened, a rift of hundreds or even thousands of miles would be carved into the world.

During his battle with Wen Juxiang in the past, his activation of the Crimson Soul Tablet was also what caused the high-level True Immortal to nearly lose his life.

Moreover, that was when Shang Xia didn’t control the Crimson Soul Tablet and it was only powered by the pseudo-Seventh Order energy.

Now that the Crimson Soul Tablet had absorbed hundreds of years of accumulated energy, it was a lot more sturdy than before. If Wen Juxiang ran into Shang Xia again, there was no way he would be able to live...

That wasn’t all. When Shang Xia disrupted Tong Yutang’s plan and concealment when dealing with Zhuge Xiang, exposing all of them to the hidden experts in the surroundings, he only drew over a small portion of the power of the stars. That was enough to summon a weak projection of the tablet, and now that it absorbed so much, Shang Xia had a feeling he would be able to summon it a few more times...

The only consideration he had was if his inner qi reserves would allow him to do so.

After emerging from the ice cave, he thought about it for a second before closing up the passage he opened. Due to the fact that he destroyed the protective formation on it, he needed another way to seal it shut.

Taking a moment to contemplate his next steps, Shang Xia laid down the Five Element Restriction that was unique to the Tongyou Institution.

He didn’t know how long it could last under the constant corrosion of both Seventh Order energy, and he decided to throw a second layer of restrictions on top of it.

This time, he chose to use the True Space Restriction Palm Talisman, which was also a type of sealing method.

Returning to where he originally arrived in the system of ice caves, he discovered that the corpses of the creatures he killed had already turned into a pile of rotting meat. It was emitting a foul stench and he simply buried them at the side.

Emerging from the opening he created, he sealed off the entrance of the ice caves beneath the surface before placing down another set of restrictions on it. He also filled the hole he had dug after he made his way out.

That way, others wouldn’t be able to find the place easily but he would be able to make use of his unique restrictions to relocate the ice cave whenever he wanted to.

... After the Crimson Soul Tablet had absorbed enough energy, Shang Xia knew that the most effective thing to do at the moment was to enter seclusion and make use of the energy produced by the tablet to grow even stronger. However, it was clearly not the time to do so as he was in a foreign world. He had been chasing the Star Origin Lord Robe and Wen Juxiang in the first place, and he had more important things to do than to cultivate at the moment. He needed to unravel the mystery of the Star Origin Lord Robe and the reason the experts of the Essence Ming World and Essence Hong World followed it all the way there. He knew that he shouldn’t stay where he was for long.
