Chapter 1292: Sudden Enlightenment: Fifth Tier

It was an extremely dangerous decision, but Shang Xia could vaguely feel that it would also be a rare opportunity.

When he approached a certain distance from the ruins, Shang Xia felt the Seventh Order energy entering his domain and started to turn serious. His initial plan was to stop the energy from seeping into his domain before approaching it on his own terms.

He tried to stop the energy that had already entered his domain, but his efforts were basically in vain.

Seventh Order energy was an upgrade of Sixth Order energy, and even though Shang Xia’s Six Direction Qi was special, it couldn’t go head to head with Seventh Order energy. It was already impressive he managed to discover it entering his domain!

From that point alone, Shang Xia was certain that the energy left behind by the Martial Emptiness Realm expert from the Essence Xing World is far stronger than the Seventh Order Energy Zhuo Gudao unleashed using the help of some strange treasure.

Helpless, Shang Xia could only distance himself from the ruins and get rid of the Seventh Order energy before trying again. Otherwise, if he allowed the Seventh Order energy to touch him, it might bring about irreversible damage and he wasn’t willing to take the risk.

Just as he was about to retreat, the Crimson Soul Tablet in his sea of consciousness started to thump. The next second, he was strangely reassured that the Seventh Order energy wouldn’t be able to harm him.

It might have something to do with his long-time interaction with the Crimson Soul Tablet, but he didn’t doubt the feeling for a second.

After the Seventh Order energy was devoured by the Crimson Soul Tablet, he didn’t notice any change with it.

A strange sense of realization filled Shang Xia’s mind. “The Seventh Order energy here might be too weak for the tablet!”

Glancing at the ruins, Shang Xia didn’t hesitate to approach now that he knew he couldn’t be harmed.

Seventh Order energy quickly wrapped around his domain and despite the powerful suction force from the Crimson Soul Tablet taking in large amounts of Seventh Order energy, Shang Xia was trying to push it back with his inner qi in an attempt to analyze it to the best of his abilities.

As he got closer and closer with the protection of his Crimson Soul Tablet, his divine soul completely immersed itself when experiencing Seventh Order energy. Eventually, he landed deep among the ruins.

No one knew how long had passed, and the ruins showed no signs of change. The only difference was that the energy it contained was slowly dissipating.

...

A speck of light appeared in the void before dimming without warning. When it reappeared, it turned into a streak of light that illuminated its surroundings, and the ruins of another world was also lit up by the strange streak of light.

The light that appeared paused slightly before changing directions and rushing at the ruins Shang Xia was situated on. Seeing as it was about to rush into the ruins, the space thousands of miles behind the streak of light started to ripple as 2 figures appeared from a spatial gate that formed.

“Hmph, it really is the survivors of the Cloud Piercing Bandits... You can’t escape!” A low snort came from the void and seemed to awaken something in the region of space.

The streak of light showed no signs of stopping as it rushed into the ruins of the destroyed Azure World before completely covering its tracks. It was clear they were trying to get rid of those chasing after him by hiding in the fragmented land.

“This... This is the remnants of the Azure Parasol World!” One of the 2 True Immortals who appeared from the spatial gate sighed softly to his companion. “Slightly more than a hundred years ago, I hadn’t become a True Immortal. However, I recall news being sent back to our world that the Azure Parasol World was working together with Star Pirates and had been leaking information about the trade routes of our world’s merchant Star Ship fleets. It caused the 3 great dynasties to suffer considerable losses and enraged Ancestor Qi Jing who had been cultivating some sort of secret art in the void around our world. He decided to exterminate the Azure Parasol World’s Will while he was at it, and the entire world fell into ruins.”

“Back then, I rushed out of the heavenly screen after hearing the news and followed many people to the Azure Parasol World to see if we could witness the destruction. We didn’t know the immensity of the heavens and earth back then and wanted to see if we could learn a thing or two from the arts of a Martial Emptiness Realm ancestor...” He couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle bitterly. “Now, I know that I was overestimating myself... What a shame...”

The more mature-looking True Immortal beside him revealed a strange smile on his face. “True Immortal Yu, you might not know, but the matter regarding the Azure Parasol World isn’t as simple as you put it...”

True Immortal Yu was shocked but he quickly followed up with a question, “What else happened? I am truly a frog at the bottom of a well... True Immortal Kang, you entered the Martial Void Realm long before me and I hope you can enlighten me on what happened...”

True Immortal Kang waved his hand and replied, “Since this matter concerns an ancestor of the Martial Emptiness Realm, how much can I know? I only heard some news that I can’t verify the validity of... We don’t know if the Azure Parasol World colluded with Star Pirates, but it’s possible they were only a step away from ascending to a Spirit World...”

“Oh, this...” True Immortal Yu’s expression changed and he seemed to understand something, but there was a part of him that seemed reluctant to believe in what happened. He didn’t know what to say for a moment.

True Immortal Kang chuckled the next second, “It’s just a rumor, and you don’t have to take it so seriously. Let’s work together to capture the Cloud Piercing Bandit before talking about anything else.”

True Immortal Yu quickly agreed, “Yes, yes, yes. We should capture him first. Rumors like that probably originated from the desolate continents or ill-informed Elysiums...”

They quickly changed the topic as they started to approach the ruins that was once the Azure Parasol World.

“Speaking of which, when the Azure Parasol World was destroyed by Ancestor Qi Jing, the Seventh Order energy he used hasn’t scattered and it’s so powerful that True Immortals wouldn’t be able to approach. In the end, all of us chose to leave. Now... This place seems a little strange. The Seventh Order energy in it seems to have disappeared...”

True Immortal Kang looked a little confused as he had once tried to approach the destroyed Azure Parasol World.

True Immortal Yu snorted casually, “No matter what, more than a hundred years passed, and the energy contained in this region of space would have broken down or dissipated. Also... I heard another rumor that the ancestor who has been supporting the Daqi Dynasty might have reached the end of his lifespan...”

“Silence!” True Immortal Kang snapped instantly and he turned serious. “Is this something you and I can discuss?”

True Immortal Yu chuckled softly and seemed a little embarrassed, but the lights flashing across his eyes showed that he was thinking of something else.

A hesitant look appeared on True Immortal Kang’s face and he eventually nodded to agree with how True Immortal Yu might be right about the energy in the region disappearing. “To prevent any accidents, we shouldn’t venture too far away from each other in case we are ambushed by the enemy...”

“The Cloud Piercing Bandit is completely exhausted and he can’t even cover his tracks properly... We will definitely be able to capture him once we make a move.”

Even though that was what True Immortal Yu said, he didn’t let his guard down in the slightest. He didn’t bother lowering his voice either as though he was intentionally allowing the Cloud Piercing Bandit to hear him.

True Immortal Kang knew that his companion might seem rash, but he was extremely scheming. He quickly played along, “True... If he wishes to escape using this place as a cover, he’s greatly mistaken...”

As they entered the depths of the ruins, they started to feel like something was wrong. It was as though they were being observed in all directions.

The deeper they went, the stronger the feeling became and they were starting to feel a sense of extreme discomfort. However... They didn’t dare to turn around to leave immediately.

A strange feeling filled their hearts that told them if they tried to turn around to run, they would be destroyed by an unknown power.

“Brother Kang...” True Immortal Yu’s cultivation was slightly weaker than True Immortal Yu, and he glanced at his companion for help. He looked helpless, and the carefree feeling he once felt was nowhere to be seen.

True Immortal Kang fell silent for a moment, but he didn’t stop venturing deeper. He could only sigh, “Since we’re here, we can only go all the way. We might have unintentionally ventured into a high-level senior’s cultivation grounds...”

They continued to make their way forward, but they could feel something drawing them in a certain direction. As they passed several land fragments, they eventually discovered the region around them growing more spacious as the fragments were spaced further and further apart.

They saw a figure bowing right in front of them, and not far away from them, they saw a figure whose aura was chaotic forcing himself to maintain his respectful appearance. Bowing deeply, he didn’t seem to dare to look directly at the mysterious figure in the distance.

The bowed figure was the Cloud Piercing Bandit True Immortal Yu and True Immortal Kang were chasing after, but they didn’t dare to make a move even though they were so close to him.

When True Immortal Yu turned to look at True Immortal Kang, all he was was his companion mouthing silently to him, ‘Fifth tier True Immortal’!
