Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1315: The Path Of Ascension For The Spirit Abundance World and Spirit Mammoth World

Several months passed in the blink of an eye and the 22nd year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar had rolled about. During that time, Kou Chongxue had been moving between the Spirit Thistle World and Spirit Tinkle Worlds. The Five Element Teleportation Formation between them had also been established.

Cultivators from the Spirit Luxuriant World, Spirit Thistle World, and Spirit Tinkle World could travel freely between their worlds. It was countless times better than the time when cultivators who hadn’t reached the Martial Void Realm had to transit through the Star Origin Dao Field.

The moment the teleportation formation was established, the great powers who held control over them earned so many essence crystals their pockets were bursting at the seams. Of course, the Tongyou Institution earned the most.

Even though Kou Chongxue didn’t return to the Spirit Luxuriant World, information regarding the Spirit Thistle World, Spirit Tinkle World, Spirit Abundance World, Spirit Mammoth World, and the Star Origin Dao Field didn’t stop returning to the institution.

After arranging the reports he sent back, a portion was sent to the other great powers, and another some additional information was given to factions friendly to the Tongyou Institution like the Tianya Pavilion, Zhongxuan Gate, Changbai Sect, and the Five Mountains Alliance.

Of them, the Five Mountains Alliance made the most progress in recent years. After fully mobilizing to help the Tongyou Institution force the members of the Divine Capital Sect out of the Bing Continent, Yin Jingxu obtained the institution’s permission and help to establish a Holy Land, becoming a respectable faction in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

As for Shang Xia who was in Star Beast Nest No.2, he naturally received the complete report sent back to the institution by Kou Chongxue.

Information that was gathered in the Spirit Luxuriant World was also sent back to Kou Chongxue through the secret techniques of the institution.

Shang Xia, who was far away in Star Beast Nest No.2, learned about True Immortal Shao of the Spirit Thinkle World. True Immortal Shao was their newest fourth tier True Immortal who used to be a third tier True Immortal with deep foundations. With True Immortal Ban’s unconditional support along with those of the other factions, the Spirit Tinkle World managed to retain the combat strength of a world with a high-level True Immortal.

At the same time, the Spirit Thistle World was stopping at nothing to strengthen their True Immortals. Of them, True Immortal Zuo Yi had the highest cultivation and greatest combat strength. After returning from the War of the Spirit Tinkle World, True Immortal Zuo remained in seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough to the fifth tier.

Other than True Immortal Zuo, the Spirit Tinkle World had 2 other third tier True Immortals with deep foundations. They had been fighting over a chance to become a high-level True Immortal as one of them had the support of True Immortal Qu and the other had the support of another fourth tier Elysium True Immortal. They might be trying to advance to the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm simultaneously, but the difficulty of that was just too high.

Other than the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World... They also received news that the Star Origin Dao Field had completed the restructuring of the Star Origin Guards.

Even though they still had 7 squads in each of the 7 camps, totaling 343 Star origin Guards in total, every single Camp Commander was now a True Immortal. Every captain was at least a third element Martial Dipper Realm expert and the lowest cultivation of a Star Origin Guard was in the Martial Dipper Realm.

From the reports Feng Ziying sent back, the Star Origin Guards Commander was still fourth tier True Immortal, Tong Yutang. He was also the First Camp Commander. Feng Ziying was also promoted to become the Sixth Camp Commander because of his cultivation and could be considered to be in the upper echelons of the Star Origin Guards.

It was extremely difficult to gather information about Zhuo Gudao, the expert at the peak of the Martial Void Realm in the Star Origin Lord Manor, but Feng Ziying was sure that members of the Star Origin Lord Manor were traveling frequently. They might be investigating the matter of the Essence Ping World, or they might be secretly coming into contact with the Spirit Abundance World and Spirit Mammoth World.

The spatial tunnel connected to the Essence Ming World and Essence Hong World in the Star Relay had also been activated more than once, and the high-level True Immortals of the Star Origin Lord Manor had been increasing their interactions with them.

As for the information about the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World... What they could gather about the Spirit Abundance World was relatively more compared to the Spirit Mammoth World.

However, Kou Chongxue learned something about the 2 great Spirit Worlds from True Immortal Ban of the Spirit Tinkle World. Both of them were focusing on different things to prepare for their ascension to an Essence World. He spoke about their current situation and everything that happened in the past.

It was said that the Spirit Abundance World’s main goal was to deal with their internal problems before getting ready to ascend. Their internal problems were more like ensuring each continent had reached the state of perfection and they would split up or to destroy some factions to make it such that it could happen for them to start the ascension process.

Due to the pressure from the Star Origin Lord Manor, preventing them from launching expeditions to other worlds, they haven’t dared to openly attack any more worlds since a long time ago.

After their failure with the Spirit Luxuriant World where they failed 2 invasions because several factions got greedy, they would never show any mercy. The moment they discovered an opportunity, they would go all out. It was said that they were the ones behind the extermination of the Azure Oddity World back then.

The betrayal of the Spirit Tinkle World during their alliance probably had something to do with them too. With the sense of oppression that came with the weakening of the Star Curtain, the Spirit Abundance World dragged the Spirit Mammoth World’s attention to the Spirit Tinkle World back then.

No one knows how complicated the implications were. After the Star Origin Dao Field stopped the alliance between the Spirit Abundance World, Spirit Mammoth World, and Spirit Tinkle World, the 2 great Spirit Worlds turned on their ally. However, the Spirit Thistle World and Spirit Luxuriant World arrived in the nick of time to stop the situation from devolving, and Zhuo Gudao managed to comprehend his marital intent and forced the 2 great Spirit Worlds to back off.

Because of the losses they suffered, the Spirit Abundance World had to turn their attention inwards in order to prepare for ascension.

As for what True Immortal Ban heard in the past, long before the Spirit Luxuriant World came to be...

There were sayings that the Spirit Abundance World suffered greatly when they tried another method to expand by looking outside the Star Curtain a very long time ago.

Of course, everything was mere rumors, and the True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World were extremely tight-lipped about it.

Despite their reluctance to say anything, rumors would still spread and it was said that when the Spirit Abundance World ventured out of the Star Curtain hundreds of years ago to look for another world and was ready to make their big move, they seemed to have annoyed a terrifying presence. The mighty expert they disturbed sent a single strand of sword qi through the spatial tunnel they created and turned the northern region of the Spirit Abundance World into shambles. Some say that they lost 2 to 3 continents because of that!

Those continents that were severed became the Manyu Continent that drifted around in space, eventually being found by the Azure Origin World and Azure Spiritual World of the past.

...

True Immortal Ban’s conjecture was that during the Spirit Abundance World’s desire to expand back then, they didn’t just lose several continents. They also fucked up so hard that they caught the attention of a Martial Emptiness Realm expert. That was why they changed their focus to look within themselves for a way to ascend.

The Spirit Mammoth World was clearly much luckier than the Spirit Abundance World. They looked for worlds outside the Heaven Observation Field through spatial tunnels created by Star Beasts, and they could occupy Star Beast Nests to save a lot of time mucking about in the sea of stars.

However... Due to the secluded nature of the Heaven Observation Field, the Spirit Mammoth World’s progress was slow. They were slow, but they progressed steadily. Even though they would meet slight setbacks from time to time, they didn’t suffer huge losses like the Spirit Abundance World.

That was also why the Spirit Mammoth World was never interested in the internal conflicts of the Heavenly Observation Dao Field. They weren’t willing to go against the Star Origin Dao Field if there was no good reason to.

Naturally... They weren’t exactly opposed to forming an alliance with the Spirit Abundance World either. They wouldn’t hold back if they were able to weaken the Star Origin Dao Field’s control.
