Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1314: Star Origin Lord Robe, Peak of the Fifth Tier

“Did Qiuyuan suffer a mental blow because he saw the Star Curtain full of weaknesses?” Yan Ming asked with a frown.

After discovering that the Star Origin Dao Field and the worlds it was connected to was a massive star field, everyone present was shocked. However, when they discovered that the formless barrier was full of weaknesses and could collapse anytime, they felt more fright than shock. However, that wasn’t all. Otherwise, a Martial Dipper Realm expert wouldn’t be frightened to the point of fainting.

If Yuan Qiuyuan fainted because of that, Kou Chongxue and Ge Qingzhu would be really interested in how he managed to enter the Martial Intent Realm in the first place with such a weak mental state.

“Of course, that’s not all...” Yuan Qiuyuan mumbled weakly. “After discovering the formless barrier, a powerful intent appeared and sent a piece of information straight into my mind. The mighty consciousness didn’t seem to be targeting me specifically. Instead, it looked like it was activated because some conditions were met. The moment it descended, my mind trembled and I couldn’t move.”

“A mighty intent? What is that?” Xin Lu mumbled before bringing the topic back on track. “What information did you learn?”

Before Yuan Qiuyuan could answer, Shang Xia sighed, “The mighty intent was most likely left behind by the expert who created the powerful barrier separating the Heaven Observation Field from the sea of stars. It’s most likely the person who created it in the first place, the Star Origin Lord!”

Yuan Qiuyuan nodded slowly and continued, “The information that appeared in my mind told me that the Star Curtain won’t exist for much longer. It will probably disappear in ten or so years.”

Everyone’s expression changed as they felt the danger that was about to befall them the moment the screen disappeared.

Thinking about it for a moment, Shang Xia muttered, “The Star Curtain conceals the Heaven Observation Field and there seem to be many worlds trying to look for this region of space. It seems to concern matters regarding the Heaven Observation Sect...”

After he spoke, Shang Xia introduced the Heaven Observation Field he learned from Song Zhen to the rest and after some confirmation, they seemed a lot more sure about some matters.

When he was done, he didn’t forget to remind them, “This matter is only known by us for the time being. Do not reveal any information about the Heaven Observation Field.”

Everyone quickly promised him not to say anything.

Xin Lu felt an exceptional sense of belonging to the Tongyou Institution suddenly after hearing how Shang Xia was willing to reveal such secrets to her even though she came from the Star Origin Dao Field and wasn’t technically a direct disciple of the institution.

Ge Qingzhu asked suddenly, “Since Little Yuan is able to detect the presence of the formless barrier, there is no way the Star Origin Dao Field doesn’t know. Are the Spirit Mammoth World, Spirit Abundance World, and Star Origin Dao Field in such a rush to take over the Essence Ping World because of this?”

Shang Xia nodded. “That’s very possible. The 3 of them can definitely feel the pressure...”

“Actually... When I discovered that the barrier was full of weaknesses, I could tell that most of the gaps in the barrier were closely monitored. The moment anything enters... Hmm... The moment anything or anyone enters the Heaven Observation Field, it should be detected immediately.” Yuan Qiuyuan said suddenly.

Shang Xia grunted in acknowledgment. “This is most probably why the Star Origin Dao Field would send the Star Origin Guards out on patrol so frequently. They might be clearing out foreign existences who entered the Heaven Observation Field...”

Ge Qingzhu’s eyes lit up suddenly. “In that case, does that mean that Little Yuan will be able to see the situation around our world with our Star Observatory? If anyone wishes to enter the region of space we are in... They wouldn’t be able to avoid detection, right?”

Yuan Qiuyuan forced a chuckle. “Instructor Ge, you’re thinking too highly of me. If someone enters our region of space and causes a huge ruckus, or if they brought a massive fleet with them, I would definitely be able to detect it. However, I might not have the ability to detect high-level experts who are familiar with infiltration...”

“Oh...” Ge Qingzhu mumbled softly. He was clearly disappointed, but he could understand the concerns. Otherwise, a Grand Stargazer would be a little too heaven-defying.

Shang Xia expected as much. He had been to many foreign worlds and if a Grand Stargazer was really so powerful, he would have been discovered long ago when he was mucking around in the void around the Essence Xing World. There was no way the Essence Xing World couldn’t bring out a single Grand Stargazer...

Seeing as he had wrapped things up, Shang Xia exchanged some pleasantries with the others before taking his leave.

As he turned to leave, his gaze lingered on the platform, but he eventually looked away. He reached his hand to the side and made a slight gesture as the Star Origin Lord Robe flew over to him.

Ge Qingzhu left with him, and only when they had left the Star Observatory did Ge Qingzhu ask, “Did you want to activate the Star Map earlier?”

Shang Xia’s actions were subtle earlier, but he couldn’t hide it from Ge Qingzhu who was also a True Immortal.

As for secrets like the Star Map... Ge Qingzhu gained the qualifications to learn about them after entering the Martial Void Realm.

Shang Xia didn’t deny it either. “Little Yuan just became a Grand Stargazer, and I became a high-level True Immortal along with Patriarch Kou. We will definitely be able to discover more if we activate the Star Map now. However... Patriarch Kou isn’t here at the moment and I suspect that the information contained within will affect the sea of stars outside the Heaven Observation Field. With the Star Curtain still in place, we might be able to activate the Star Map, but we won’t be able to verify the information contained within.”

Ge Qingzhu nodded subconsciously before looking at the Star Origin Lord Robe in Shang Xia’s hand. “What are you planning to do next?”

“I’m going to try to play around with this and head back to Star Beast Nest No.2.” Shang Xia shook the robe in his hand slightly in response.

Ge Qingzhu seemed to have already guessed what he was planning to do and he continued to ask, “Is this related to your promise to the other True Immortals?”

Shang Xia nodded and he didn’t plan to hide his intentions. “I plan to try fusing the different Variant Formation Talismans. I have always suspected that the Variant talismans make up a higher level talisman and I was never confident in succeeding. With my cultivation improving and my understanding of the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman deepening, I plan to give it a shot.”

After parting ways with Ge Qingzhu, Shang Xia used the Five Element Teleportation Formation to return to Star Beast Nest No.2. Without alerting anyone, he rushed into the depths of chaotic space around the Star Beast Nest.

Because it was difficult to draw over starlight in the chaotic streams, Shang Xia could only rely on the dense power of the stars gathered in the robes.

As he started to research the Variant Formation Talismans, he continued to discover the intricacies of the Star Origin Lord Robe he was wearing. As soon as he draped it over his body, he felt his strength rising greatly.

If the Star Origin Lord Robe could raise Shang Xia’s combat strength by 1 whole tier in the past, after reaching the level of Returning to the Origin, even with the abilities of the Star Origin Lord Robe, he could only reach the peak of the fifth tier no matter how hard he tried! The sixth tier was completely out of reach!

He might have expected as much, but he couldn’t help but feel that it was a pity.

If the Star Origin Lord Robe could allow him to gain the combat prowess of a sixth tier True Immortal, he would be a truly terrifying existence. After all, sixth tier True Immortals stood at the peak of strength in the Heaven Observation Field. His ability to deter the other worlds from doing anything stupid to them would increase greatly!
