Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1265: Things are Getting Clearer

After entering the fifth tier of the Martial Void Realm, one would have reached the level of Returning to the Origin.

Shang Xia was no stranger to fifth tier True Immortals. However, when a fifth tier True Immortal finally stood in front of him, he finally understood what the term of their cultivation level meant. It was a tyrannical feat as the fifth tier True Immortal turned everything around him into a region that bent to his will.

When Shang Xia was afraid he would have to meet the fifth tier True Immortal in battle, a deep voice rang in his mind. “Fellow ally from the Spirit Luxuriant World... Please enter my Spirit Tinkle World to seek refuge for a little. I’ll deal with what’s coming.”

Shang Xia gasped and he ignored the powerful auras that were approached. He shielded Kou Chongxue from the powerful pressure while dragging him further into the distance.

After passing through a thin barrier, he felt the foreign World’s Will.

Without a doubt, the thin barrier was the heavenly screen of the Spirit Tinkle World. The moment they entered, they felt the foreign World’s Will which seemed both angry and tired...

It was clear to them that the World’s Will had suffered heavy damage. However, despite the damage it suffered, the oppression it had on foreign cultivators didn’t weaken. Instead, it seemed even stronger, as though it was warning them not to try anything strange in the Spirit Tinkle World.

Shang Xia’s aura started to transform after entering the Spirit Tinkle World and the suppression he felt was instantly weakened. It was as though the initial rejection he felt was because the World’s Will made a mistake.

Kou Chongxue, who was nearby, discovered the transformation of his aura and quickly turned to Shang Xia to indicate for him to easily show off his skill of transforming his aura to that of the world’s inhabitants, especially since there were so many people around the Spirit Tinkle World at the moment.

Shang Xia understood the meaning behind Kou Chongxue’s gaze, and his aura quickly returned to its original form. The rejection of the World’s Will returned instantly.

A powerful spatial storm was swept up behind him all of a sudden as a mighty wave of energy swept at him.

Even with the protection of the heavenly screen, he still felt a chill running through his heart.

Turning back abruptly, he noticed that the heavenly screen had caved in due to the powerful shockwave from the exchange that was happening above.A terrifying pressure descended on the world and he even stumbled slightly and was thrown tens of miles away from his original position. As the shockwave passed through the rest of the world, it caused massive destruction.

Even though the exchange happening above was violent, the strength of fifth tier True Immortals were unable to break through the heavenly screen.

The True Immortal who appeared earlier wasn’t actually a fifth tier True Immortal. He was actually the only fourth tier Elysium True Immortal of the Spirit Tinkle World but he had the assistance of the World’s Will and was able to successfully stop the fifth tier True Immortal of the Spirit Abundance World.

With the immediate threat out of the way, Shang Xia was able to carefully observe his surroundings. He saw mid to high-level experts gathering, and there were even True Immortals of the other worlds present.

Due to how urgent the situation was earlier, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue barely exchanged a greeting. Shang Xia hadn’t asked about his experience and with some free time, he felt that it was time to do so.

Yin Jingxu also headed over to regroup with Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue. He was beside Hua Yu of the Spirit Thistle World, but he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. It seemed as though he was unable to suppress his injuries any longer.

When he prevented the third tier True Immortal of the Spirit Abundance World from successfully injuring Shang Xia, he suffered heavy internal injuries after he was sent flying.

Because there were still threats around, he couldn’t tend to his injuries and could only suppress the feeling. Now, he could no longer hold it in any longer.

Kou Chongxue handed an intricate bottle to Yin Jingxu without hesitation. “There is a drop of Three Lights Water in here that has been created by our institution. Not only can it help with your recovery, it should be able to strengthen your cultivation slightly.”

Yin Jingxu expressed his thanks before swallowing the drop of Three Lights Water.

The effects of the Three Lights Water immediately started to spread through his body and his pale face immediately regained its color. It took some time, but his aura started to grow even stronger and his expression slowly turned even more rosy.

Even though the Three Lights Water wasn’t something that could heal all the injuries in a short time, it was more than enough for him to regain his combat capabilities.

To be able to maintain his ability to fight in such a messy situation, Yin Jingxu was extremely thankful. After feeling the effects of the Three Lights Water, he immediately knew how precious it was. It was more than qualified to be considered a life-saving treasure, and there was no way Kou Chongxue could obtain more easily. Even so, he was still willing to give a drop away...

Yin Jingxu knew that he definitely owed Kou Chongxue big time for it.

He wasn’t wrong to think that way, and he wasn’t the only one who was shocked by Kou Chongxue’s generosity. When Shang Xia saw how Kou Chongxue gave away a drop of Three Lights Water, he made a slight frown.

Kou Chongxue knew that Shang Xia would definitely have an opinion of what he did, and he explained in a low voice while Yin Jingxu was still experiencing the effect of the Three Lights Water, “The effect the Three Lights Water have on one’s cultivation is ordinary for everyone else except yourself. There are only 2 main uses for it for other cultivators. The first is to extend their lifespan, and the second is to treat injuries. Of course... It is also great when it comes to tempering one’s artifact spirit and to nurture the Starry Tree...”

Shang Xia might have absolute trust in Kou Chongxue, but he couldn’t help but ask after hearing the explanation, “Are you really sure about that? When I first used the Three Lights Water, I gained around a year of cultivation! Even though its effects weakened to the point where I can only gain a month of cultivation after using a drop, it’s still really effective. At our level, you know how rare treasures that can increase our cultivation are...”

Kou Chongxue stared at Shang Xia as though he had already expected to be doubted. “Do you really think I’d use a treasure like that so carelessly if I didn’t know its effects? Do you really think I’ll let Yuan Qiuyuan send it to you if I haven't tested it out? Heh... You’re really bold alright. You had the guts to refine it the moment you received the Three Lights Water for the first time. Aren’t you afraid that an accident might happen and your cultivation would be crippled?”

Naturally, Shang Xia knew that it wasn’t possible since he had the Crimson Soul Tablet, but he couldn’t possibly tell Kou Chongxue that. He was confident nothing would happen to him even when he refined the Three Lights Water for the first time because of the feeling he got from the tablet.

He could only keep the smile on his face as he chuckled, “Well... Nothing happened in the end, right? Anyway, from what you're saying, the effects of Three Lights Water on your cultivation and others aren’t as exaggerated as mine, right?”

“Yes. It’s a little more effective when used by Yuan Qiuyuan, but that’s about it.” Kou Chongxue concluded.

Since that was the case, Shang Xia’s evaluation of the Three Lights Water fell drastically. But he still continued to ask, “Why do you think that’s the case?”

Kou Chongxue thought for a second before he answered, “It might be related to your Six Direction Origin. As for Yuan Qiuyuan, it might be because he’s following the inheritance of the Heaven Observation Sect.”

Shang Xia nodded and agreed with his deduction, and he turned to look at his surroundings next. “What’s happening here? Why are there so many cultivators of other worlds in the Spirit Tinkle World?”

Kou Chongxue forced a chuckle in response. “A bunch of them should have been invited into the world like us. Most of them wouldn’t fare well in a chaotic battle outside the heavenly screen. As for the rest... They should be allies here to help the Spirit Tinkle World in their last stand against the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World.”

Shang Xia frowned in confusion. “What happened to the Spirit Tinkle World? You should have arrived earlier than me by following the experts of the Spirit Thistle World... Did you hear any useful information?”

“I was also confused when I first got here. However, it sounded like the Spirit Tinkle World messed up really badly by trying to scheme too hard and overreaching themselves. 3 of their 4 high-level True Immortals were killed, leading to this... Also, most of the True Immortals who joined the battle saw what was happening and decided to provide them with assistance.”

Kou Chongxue wanted to give Shang Xia a more detailed explanation, but they noticed a transmission reaching Hua Yu that caused his expression to change. The next second, he ran over to Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia.

“Patriarch Kou, True Immortal Shang...” Hua Yu tried to compose himself, but he was unable to hide the anxiety he was feeling. “2 True Immortals of my world have been killed in the chaotic battle outside the heavenly screen, and True Immortal Qu Guan has sent an emergency transmission and hope that you 2 can head over to provide some assistance.”

Kou Chongxue muttered to Shang Xia who was beside him, “True Immortal Qu Guan is one of the 3 high-level True Immortals of the Spirit Thistle World. We traveled here together and when we were dragged into battle, he helped to hold the opponents back so that we were able to head over to help you.”

Shang Xia nodded in response. “We can’t leave our alliance mates to die. We shall head out right now. As for True Immortal Yin...”

Hua Yu spoke in an earnest voice, “I will meet up with the other True Immortals of my world and I will bring him along with me.”

Kou Chongxue looked at Yin Jingxu and noticed his slight nod. Relieved, he continued, “Alright, then we shall not waste any more time. I shall head over with Little Shang to help our friends of the Spirit Thistle World!”
