Chapter 1175: Shaky Alliance

Shang Xia snorted with disdain. Without mentioning how they tried killing each other just ten fucking seconds ago, the relationship between the Spirit Luxuriant World and the Spirit Abundance World was terrible in the first place. There was absolutely no way they had any trust for each other.

Shang Xia wanted to go his separate way after they stopped earlier. However, he hesitated when he heard Hua Jianlou speak about them being connected to the Star Origin Dao Field.

As a core member of the Spirit Abundance World, Hua Jianlou definitely knew more secrets than what the Spirit Luxuriant World gathered. It was especially so when it related to the other worlds that were connected to the Star Origin Dao Field.

Shang Xia had always thought that Star Origin City chose to work with the worlds connected to it on equal footing, even though the rumored Seventh Order Star Origin Lord was in charge of it. The mysterious expert seemed to be a figure used to deter the experts of other worlds, but he hadn’t appeared in hundreds of years.

However, Hua Jianlou said they were mere subordinates of the Star Origin Dao Field, and that would mean that there was an intrinsic relationship where one side was protected by the other in exchange for some other things.

Shang Xia wouldn’t suspect that Hua Jianlou was bullshitting as the Spirit Abundance World had been connected to the Star Origin Dao Field for a long time. What they knew was certainly leagues ahead of what the Spirit Luxuriant World managed to gather.

Since Shang Xia wanted to listen to more secrets regarding the Star Origin Dao Field, he decided to think about an alliance. Even so, he wouldn’t fully trust the other party.

He couldn’t help but ask slowly, “Why should I believe you?”

Hua Jianlou wasn’t surprised by his response. He simply spoke in an unhurried manner, “If we can’t stop the high-level True Immortals from the Essence Hong World and the Essence Ming World, or if they actually manage to obtain the Star Origin Lord Robe and do something with it... I’m afraid it won’t be long before we face a combined invasion from both Essence Worlds...”

Shang Xia wanted to ask more, but he maintained his composure. “It doesn\'t matter if you’re telling the truth or not. How can you be sure that we will be able to do anything to them?”

Hua Jianlou burst out laughing in response, “Wen Juxiang is already injured, and it seems pretty serious. True Immortal Gao Qin of the Essence Ming World probably has her full combat strength, but there’s no way they will work together with such a huge disparity in strength. Also... There’s only 1 Star Origin Lord Robe.”

“If they truly planned to join hands, there obviously won’t be a chance for us to do anything. However, if they move separately... With the strength you displayed earlier, we will most definitely be able to take either one of them down once we work together!” Hua Jianlou concluded.

Shang Xia continued, “What happens next? Like you said... There is only 1 Star Origin Lord Robe.”

“The Star Origin Lord Robe might be a key to enter and leave the Essence Ping World, but its true use is to boost the strength of the Guards Commander. The most powerful ability it has is to boost the battle formation of the Star Origin Guards. It can even bring out Seventh Order energy! It won’t be too useful to either of us. We should even return it to the Star Origin Guards lest we become an enemy of the Star Origin Dao Field.

Shang Xia snorted coldly, “How can the Star Origin Lord Robe create a spatial tunnel to the Essence Ping World in the first place? From what I know, your Spirit Abundance World should have been observing it for a long time now. Didn’t you guys establish Azure Island specifically to resist the Frost Wave coming from the north of your world?”

The smile on Hua Jianlou’s face faded after hearing what Shang Xia said and he even seemed slightly surprised by Shang Xia’s revelation. “I didn’t think that you would understand so much about my world. I have to reevaluate you from now on... Actually... It seems as though my Spirit Abundance World has been underestimating your Spirit Luxuriant World.”

Shang Xia opened his arms helplessly and sighed with self-ridicule, “From the looks of it, I was overreaching myself...”

Hua Jianlou couldn’t be bothered with the supposed mockery Shang Xia was throwing and he slowly added, “It’s exactly as you said. Because we have been preparing to launch an expedition here, now that I have arrived, the ability of the Star Origin Lord Robe to enter the Essence Ping World isn’t very important to me.”

Shang Xia felt a chill running through his heart and he thought back to what happened when he infiltrated the Spirit Abundance World back then. “Have you guys locked on to this world with your grand formation linking your Elysiums together? Does this mean that as long as you manage to contact them, you will be able to create a spatial tunnel that leads into the Essence Ping World anytime you wish?”

“You even know about that?!” Hua Jianlou was truly surprised this time.

Shang Xia muttered softly, “Looks like I was right then?”

Maintaining his composure the best he could. Hua Jianlou continued, “If we work together and get our hands on the Star Origin Lord Robe, you can have it. However, we will need to use it to establish a spatial tunnel that leads to the outside world before you can bring it away.”

If Hua Jianlou only proposed for them to work together earlier because he recognized Shang Xia’s strength and was planning to make use of him as free labor, everything changed after Shang Xia casually revealed the secret plan of the Spirit Abundance World.

Shang Xia met Hua Jianlou’s gaze and they remained silent for some time before Shang Xia spoke without a change in expression, “We will join hands and fight them this time. Nothing more.”

Hua Jianlou understood what Shang Xia meant, and he nodded in response. “Nothing more.”

The True Immortals of both worlds who had intense hatred for each other eventually reached a decision to work together.

Shang Xia quickly started asking questions again. “True Immortal Hua, since you entered this world before me, have you already found their tracks?”

Hua Jianlou expected Shang Xia to ask that question and he shook his head and chuckled bitterly, “If I found out where they went, why would I come all the way here to look for you?”

Shang Xia nodded slowly and continued to ask, “How large is this icy wasteland anyway?”

“You’ll reach the end if you travel 3000 miles in that direction. Since I ran into you on my way to look for them, this is clearly the wrong direction to be traveling in.” Hua Jianlou pointed to where he came from.

After he was done, he saw that Shang Xia was deep in contemplation and he decided to inquire a little about it. “True Immortal Shang, do you have any idea what we should do next? Why don’t you share it with me and we can think about it together?”

Shang Xia arranged his thoughts and spoke again, “When Zhuge Xiang was surrounded earlier, I was too far away. I wonder if you managed to discover what happened to him. Did he really exhaust all his vitality?”

Realizing what Shang Xia might be driving at, Hua Jianlou replied, “We can be sure he’s dead. Zhuge Xiang has most definitely been slain back then.”

Shang Xia finally nodded. “Since his true body has been killed, logically speaking, his clone shouldn’t be able to exist. However, it still managed to live for some time because of the Star Origin Lord Robe...”

Hua Jianlou’s eyes lit up suddenly and he gasped, “True Immortal Shang, you’re really sharp indeed!”
