Splitting the Heavens

The various factions could guess the intentions of the Elysiums when they sent 6 True Immortals to oversee the entire process without wiping out the Yuhai Sect directly.

However, the intention to train their disciples had long passed. As the True Immortals decided to finally get rid of the tumor that was growing in the Spirit Luxuriant World, Zhang Jianzi was suddenly unable to take part in it.

Of course, his absence didn’t stop them from following through with the plan.

Because of the rapid growth the world was experiencing, the heaven and earth qi density rose to a whole new level. It was especially so for the continents that had been raised to a state of perfection. They would experience essence qi storms from time to time and great opportunities like that would hasten the growth of many spiritual herbs. Be it combat strength or cultivation, cultivators of all realms made great improvements.

That was also another factor that contributed to the ending of the desire of the Elysiums to destroy the Yuhai Sect once and for all.

The reason for the training experience was to raise the cultivation level and combat abilities of their disciples. Since it was happening anyway, there was no need to continue. The only benefit fighting the Yuhai Sect brought was that the cultivators of the various factions could train their battle formations for future use.

Everyone who gathered set off from the Qing Continent, Hai Continent, and Jiao Continent at the same time and rushed to surround the location of the Yuhai Sect and the foreign Beast Warriors that had been hiding in the sea the entire time.

Actually, they were both the same thing as the Yuhai Sect seemed to be backed by those mysterious Beast Warriors. After all, the Yuhai Sect’s ability was to control sea spiritual beasts in the first place and their abilities were similar.

The reason for the battle was to deal with the Yuhai Sect and the foreign experts once and for all. At the same time they wanted to know what the Yuhai Sect had been hiding from them.

Because of the years of fighting and suppression, even though the sea was massive, the members of the Yuhai Sect and foreign experts had already retreated into their final stronghold.

The experts coming from all 3 directions attacked without hesitation, but they faced exceptionally strong resistance.

Those sea spiritual beasts, along with the experts within, knew that it was their final stand and fought like hell.

Despite some suffering heavy injuries, those beasts became even fiercer. Their instincts took over their originally weak rationality and even with the experts in control, they didn’t hesitate to take their opponents down with them. The cultivators of the various factions suffered heavy casualties.

When everything was progressing smoothly, Shang Xia left the Spirit Luxuriant World and entered Star Beast Best No.2.

He didn’t hide his aura too much, but with his sudden appearance, Kou Chongxue’s divine soul swept past him and thought he was an ordinary expert and didn’t think too much about it.

A moment later, he suddenly felt that something was off and his divine soul descended once again. This time, it didn’t just sweep past Shang Xia. It started to scan the newcomer up and down as though he discovered a fascinating presence.

Shang Xia couldn’t help but sigh helplessly, “Patriarch Kou, it’s me!”

The void behind him started to ripple and Kou Chongxue appeared the next moment. He stared at Shang Xia with a suspicious gaze. “How did you do it?”

Kou Chongxue looked at Shang Xia as though he was recognizing him for the first time as a strange light flashed in his eyes.

His instincts were telling him that Shang Xia was showing him a completely new realm of cultivation and that if he could learn something from it, he would be able to make huge gains.

Shang Xia laughed softly and asked, “Patriarch Kou, do you know about the special state known as Man and Heaven as One?”

“Man and Heaven as One?” Kou Chongxue mumbled to himself and revealed a look of yearning when he heard the strange term from Shang Xia.

“Is this the state of Man and Heaven as One?” Kou Chongxue asked suddenly, but he suddenly realized the fact that Shang Xia was different from before and the look in his eyes changed. “No… This is right. This isn’t the state of Man and Heaven as One. You… You already became a sixth tier True Immortal?!”

Shang Xia burst out laughing instantly. “The blessing of the world after pushing 7 continents to the state of perfection is massive. Even though all I did was to help them cross the final barrier, it was enough to help me enter the sixth tier.”

Kou Chongxue regained his composure and chuckled softly to himself. “Damn brat, did you come here to show off?”

Even though he was chiding Shang Xia, he looked truly gratified. Of course, there were also traces of envy and longing in his gaze.

“I’m not that shallow… Other than paying you a visit, I wanted to see what the situation is here and if there has been news of the Essence Xing World.” Shang Xia laughed to himself.

Kou Chongxue nodded in acknowledgment and understood what Shang Xia was after. “I was wondering why you didn’t stay in our world until the battle against the Yuhai Sect concluded… Are you here, ready to take revenge?”

Shang Xia didn’t deny anything, but he explained, “There are many people watching over the final battle and it’s fine that I’m not there. Moreover, I left an External Avatar back there to deal with any accidents.”

“External Avatar?” Kou Chongxue was used to the shock he received from the strange terms Shang Xia had been using and simply asked in confusion, “How much can a clone like that help? Didn’t you leave behind a clone with the strength of a third tier True Immortal here? Didn’t the members of the Essence Xing World come knocking anyway?”

Shang Xia couldn’t hold back his laughter. “Patriarch Kou, are you really sure that something will go wrong during the final battle against the Yuhai Sect?”

“No one is a fool… The reason the Yuhai Sect survived until now is because they were of value to their backer. After all, only after giving their all will they be able to prove their worth so that their backer wouldn’t give them up so easily.”

Pausing slightly, Kou Chongxue’s eyes widened in realization and looked at Shang Xia who had a smile that didn’t really seem like a smile. “Wait a second, you nearly got me! Hah, tell me what the hell you left back there for you to be so confident? Right, if you didn’t leave, their hidden backer might not dare to poke their heads out!”

“Didn’t I tell you? I left behind an External Avatar…” Shang Xia revealed a shit-eating grin.

“Are you fucking with…” Before he could finish, Kou Chongxue frowned. “Wait, you won’t mess around with something like this. Does your clone have the ability to fight against high-level True Immortals?”

Shang Xia didn’t play around any longer and explained, “Looks like I can’t hide anything from you! However, it’s not like there’s a secret to it. Right, anyway, that clone you've been talking about should be called an External Avatar instead!”

“I’ll leave one here too and you won’t have to stay here the whole time once we’re done back there!”
