Chapter 1258: The Juiciest of News

“Are those experts from the Star Origin Dao Field gone?” Kou Chongxue took a step forward after exchanging a look with the others around him.

Shang Xia turned slowly and nodded. “Both of them retreated…”

Retreated…

The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World who arrived looked at each other with a strange gaze and they understood what Shang Xia meant by that. After all, the turbulent space was a clear indication a battle happened recently.

From how composed and injury-free Shang Xia was, they could guess that he gained an absolute advantage when fighting both high-level True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field!

Why else would they be retreating?!

The next second, their thoughts returned to Chang Kun’s haughty face when he stopped the Star Ship fleet of the Spirit Luxuriant World and experienced a mix of emotions.

Their expressions were a sight to behold. On one hand, they wanted to clap in joy at the defeat of the cocky asshole from the Star Origin Dao Field, but when they thought about the humiliation they suffered when their entire fleet was held back by a single expert, they didn’t know how they should be feeling.

Kou Chongxue was slightly stunned, and he looked at those around him. Eventually, he asked in their stead, “What is their attitude towards this?”

Shang Xia knew that he might have vented their frustrations by beating up the True Immortal of the Star Origin Dao Field, but the others were definitely afraid that they would take revenge in the future.

The others didn’t dare to ask, but that was most likely what they were thinking. Now that Kou Chongxue spoke on their behalf, they no longer had to be so awkward about it.

Shang Xia understood that he couldn’t really ignore the question since Kou Chongxue was the person who asked, and he replied slowly, “It was an ordinary exchange and all of us held back earlier.”

Hearing that the situation didn’t reach an irreversible state, the expressions of the True Immortals present became a lot better than before.

They knew that the experts of the Star Origin Dao Field were arrogant, but they couldn’t really do anything about it considering the Star Origin Dao Field’s strength! They had to carefully maintain their attitude towards them.

“Shame… Several years of preparations went down the drain after they said a few words to us…” Li Jidao growled angrily.

Yang Taihe looked at the True Immortals of the Tongyou Institution and asked, “Patriarch Kou, True Immortal Little Shang, what are you planning to do next?”

At that moment, every single True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World was present and they looked at Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia in unison.

Even though Shang Xia’s cultivation and combat strength was the highest among them, he wouldn’t make any decision with Kou Chongxue present.

With a helpless gesture, Kou Chongxue sighed, “I can’t come up with anything now. Why don’t we play it by ear?”

Yang Taihe clearly wasn’t satisfied with Kou Chongxue’s answer and he turned to look at Shang Xia. “True Immortal Little Shang, what do you think?”

“I’m entering seclusion.” Shang Xia shot a glance at him before replying casually.

Kou Chongxue’s gaze swept across Yang Taihe who was deep in thought and he chuckled, “True Immortal Yang, you sound like you have another plan?”

“It’s not really a plan… It’s just an idea for now…” Yang Taihe hesitated slightly before he replied.

Kou Chongxue laughed, “I’m all ears.”

The other True Immortals also requested for Yang Taihe to speak.

After thinking for some time, Yang Taihe explained, “Even though we cannot attack the Azure Worlds, our alliance with the Spirit Thistle World can still go on. At the very least, we can’t get rid of the alliance before we discover the stance of the Star Origin Dao Field.”

The other True Immortals nodded in agreement.

Li Jidao added, “Do you mean for us to send a powerful True Immortal to the Spirit Thistle World to help them out?”

Yang Taihe nodded. “Also, since we gathered every single power and assembled the Star Ship fleet, we might as well start exploring the region. We don’t know too much about this region of space we are in and we might even be able to draw a few Earth Stars over…”

Everyone turned to look at Yin Jingxu before Yang Taihe was done talking. Everyone knew that he only advanced because of the Earth Star he drew over from the remnants of the Manyu Continent.

His expression turned ugly at that very moment, as Yang Taihe’s intention was clear. He was using the moral high ground to force Yin Jingxu to hand over the method of advancement by relying on an Earth Star.

Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue exchanged a glance and could tell what each other was thinking. Since the possibility of devouring another world was out, Yang Taihe and Li Jidao set their sights on the other method to ensure their disciple would be able to break through to the Martial Void Realm.

However, Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia both tacitly chose to remain quiet at the moment and allow them to force Yin Jingxu to spill his secrets.

With the pressure from the Eternal Palace and Divine Capital Sect, Yin Jingxu’s face flushed red with anger and he snapped angrily, “I don’t care if you wish to draw more Earth Stars to our world, but if you wish to obtain my rank six inheritance or advancement method, you better be prepared to trade it with your own!”

An Earth Star was like a sieve that was leaking world origin. It couldn’t gather a World’s Will, and there were also many mortals living on it.

With the current state of the Spirit Luxuriant World, obtaining an Earth Star would cause them to suffer a massive loss. In order to integrate something with no World’s Will, their Spirit Luxuriant World would have to nurture it on its own, using up a lot of world origin. Ignoring the possibility of being blessed by the Spirit Luxuriant World, the ones who brought the Earth Star should thank the heavens if the World’s Will doesn’t punish them for wasting its resources.

The only reason Yin Jingxu was able to advance successfully wasn’t just because of his secret art. It was because of the special properties of the Earth Star! It contained a portion of the Manyu Continent’s World’s Will.

Ordinary Earth Stars weren’t like that, and if they didn’t have the Heavenly Star Palace’s secret art, there was no way to break through.

The discussion ended just like that, with no one gaining an advantage. However, the Star Ship fleet didn’t remain idle and continued along with Yang Taihe’s plan to scour the sea of stars around the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Kou Chongxue was sent to the Spirit Thistle World to act as reinforcements, but Yin Jingxu chose to go along with him. He might be scheming something, but Shang Xia was too lazy to care about him for the time being.

When he returned, he planned to head back to Star Beast Nest No.2 after a few days. He didn’t expect to receive shocking news from the Star Origin Dao Field just 1 day later. The alliance that consisted of the Spirit Mammoth World, Spirit Abundance World, and Spirit Tinkle World returned from the Azure Abyss World empty handed due to the Star Origin Guards’ protection. However, the Spirit Tinkle World’s fleet was annihilated by the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World on the way back.
