Chapter 1273: Martial Intent
The actions, or rather, inaction, of the True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field quickly caught the attention of the other True Immortals.
Fourth tier True Immortals like Qu Guan quickly dragged Shang Xia and True Immortal Ban into their discussion.
“Did the Star Origin Dao Field give up just like that?”
“Did they admit their defeat?”
The True Immortals started to joke around about the Star Origin Dao Field, but they didn’t dare to go overboard.
After all, the Spirit Tinkle World suffered the most and the others were profiting off them at the moment.
“Maybe they’re unwilling to waste their energy...”
“What if... What if they have already achieved their goal, or they are about to achieve it?” True Immortal Ban threw out a random possibility.
Shang Xia thought of something and gasped, ‘True Immortal Ban, do you mean that Zhuo Gudao in the Star Origin Lord Manor has already achieved his breakthrough or might have reached the grand completion stage and won’t need so much world origin any longer?”
“All of you might not be able to feel as clearly as I can, but the True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field seem to have given up. They don’t seem concerned at all...”
Without the protection of the heavenly screen above the continents, they became the prime target behind everyone’s plundering. Even the Spirit Tinkle World has given up on them. However... Whatever happened to them, the True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field would definitely possess more acute senses than the True Immortals of the various worlds.
“Then...” Shang Xia thought of something, but Zuo Li quickly interrupted.
Zuo Li said, “The True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field definitely wouldn’t give up like this. If I were Zhuo Gudao, the moment I reach the grand completion stage, I would definitely help the experts of the Star Origin Dao Field to try to catch the culprit stealing my world origin!”
Everyone agreed with the Star Origin Dao Field’s next course of action.
No one knew how long had passed, but Shang Xia estimated that they had practically absorbed all the world origin off the various continents, but a sudden change happened in the spatial tunnel connecting the Spirit Tinkle World to the Star Origin Dao Field.
A blood-red gourd appeared in the void and flew at the Spirit Tinkle World. A terrifying suction force appeared from it and it seemed as though it wanted to absorb the souls of everyone present.
Shang Xia’s heart sank as he quickly wrapped Kou Chongxue and Yin Jingxu up in his domain and tried to bring them into the Spirit Tinkle World to be protected by the heavenly screen.
The True Immortals of the Spirit Tinkle World also started to grab the experts of their world and revealed a look of lingering fear.
...
“What the hell is this?! How can it affect our souls?!” Zuo Li gasped in fright.
Shang Xia muttered in shock, “Is this Zhuo Gudao’s martial intent?”
“It’s not as simple as a mere martial intent... After all, the gourd seems to be able to amplify his soul. Maybe he’s using the amplification to strengthen the attack on us while trying to locate the culprit behind the theft of the Star Origin Dao Field’s world origin...” Qu Guan muttered in a calm voice.
The next second, Shang Xia asked, “Did they find the culprit? I was focused on bringing True Immortal Kou and True Immortal Yin into the Spirit Tinkle World and I didn’t see much.”
The look of fear on Zuo Li’s face had disappeared some time ago and he muttered with a look of schadenfreude, “My ass... It would be great if they didn’t find that person! After all... With that person bearing the brunt of their wrath, we will be able to get away with a lot more...”
The alliance of the Spirit Thistle World, Spirit Luxuriant World, and Spirit Tinkle World looked to be something they made in desperation, but the difference between each faction was massive and it was difficult for anyone to make the first move.
That was also why despite the strength of their alliance, they had to admit that the alliance of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World was much stronger.
If a strange and powerful faction that had the ability to affect the plans of the Star Origin Dao Field appeared, they would be more than happy to watch the situation devolve into chaos. After all... To their alliance, nothing worse could happen.
True Immortal Ban spoke suddenly, “If the Star Origin Dao Field is still unable to find the culprit, I guess everyone will start leaving soon. I hope fellow True Immortals will stay for some time in my Spirit Tinkle World...”
With the 6 continents being sucked dry of world origin, Shang Xia and the others could guess True Immortal Ban’s intentions.
He was worried that the other worlds would loop back and catch the Spirit Tinkle World off guard and would like to keep their allies there a little longer in order to prevent anything like that from happening.
Shang Xia and the high-level True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World exchanged a glance before agreeing.
A moment later, True Immortal Ban raised his head to look at the heavenly screen above. His gaze seemed to be able to pass through it to see what was happening above.
“It calmed down up there... The gourd is also nowhere to be seen...” True Immortal ban explained. After he spoke he started to rise into the air to make his way over to the heavenly screen.
Shang Xia and the rest followed closely behind.
The curtain of starlight above the 2 continents the True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field set their sights on had disappeared, and they were also nowhere to be found.
Shang Xia looked around and noticed that the True Immortals of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World were taking their leave. The spatial fluctuations they left behind as they left were really obvious.
The True Immortals of other worlds who arrived also left...
As for the Spirit Tinkle World that just experienced a massive battle, everything quickly rained its calm. It was as though nothing happened and a massive battle didn’t just take place!
The continents that had been exposed under the broken heavenly screen, they had been smashed to pieces by the True Immortals who were taking advantage of the situation before. A portion of the fragments were scattered in the space around the world, and they turned into giant floating islands. Only two-thirds of the landmass were left behind...
As a whole, those continents turned into barren lands after the True Immortals were done with their plunder.
The True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World and Spirit Luxuriant World remained in the Spirit Tinkle World for some time after receiving True Immortal Ban’s request.
In their days there, the True Immortals of the various worlds assisted to restore the heavenly screen and help True Immortal Ban rebuild some of their defenses.
Even though they retrieved all the landmasses that were floating in space, they only managed to obtain landmasses worth 2 continents...
“The world origin of the continents had decreased by more than 90 percent, and even though I managed to retain a part of it, I am only able to restore a single continent at best. Even if I reintegrate it back into the world, the heaven and earth qi it contains cannot be compared to before...” True Immortal Ban explained to the True Immortals of the other worlds.
Even though there were other reasons like the dispute of the experts of the Spirit Tinkle World, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World and Spirit Thistle World were clearly not interested in them.
However, after seeing the random chunks of land that had been abandoned by the Spirit Tinkle World, Kou Chongxue shot Shang Xia at a glance.
Shang Xia understood what he was thinking of and he glanced at the True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World before asking True Immortal Ban, “True Immortal Ban, since you’re planning to give up on those land chunks, can I bring them back to my world?”
True Immortal Ban revealed a look of shock, but Shang Xia forced a chuckle and continued, “As you all know... My Spirit Luxuriant World barely completed its ascension and our foundations are shallow. The northern part of our world is extremely barren and there are a few continents that are barely 5,000 miles there... Even though these land chunks lost their connection to the World Origin Source, they are extremely vast. There are also remnant heaven and earth qi there, despite it being a little weak. If all of you have no use for it, I wish to bring it back. It will be of great help to my world.”
True Immortal Ban chuckled softly and replied, “Since True Immortal Shang needs them, feel free...”
Shang Xia waved his hand and laughed along, “Just a portion of them will be enough. We won’t be able to bring back the rest anyway.”
True Immortal Ban shot Shang Xia a glance before looking at the True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World, “If you need them...”
Before he could finish, Zuo Li and Qu Guan rejected the offer.
Not too long later, they bade farewell to True Immortal Ban.
Shang Xia and the others, who managed to obtain the land chunks they desired, stationed Yin Jingxu on them while Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue took the front and back as they made their way back to the Spirit Luxuriant World.
As they had to travel back by flight, they could only bring it back slowly. When they finally entered the chaotic streams a distance away from the Spirit Tinkle World, Yin Jingxu finally asked, “Patriarch Kou, True Immortal Little Shang, about the Origin Holy Artifact...”
Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue exchanged a glance and Shang Xia was eventually the person who replied, “Oh. The Origin Holy Artifact is a pretty impressive treasure. It recovered greatly after we absorbed enough world origin from the Spirit Tinkle World...”
Yin Jingxu was shocked by his random statement and fell silent for a moment. Eventually, he sighed, “True Immortals... What will it take for me to trade the Origin Holy Artifact you have?”
