Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1385: Muhai Sect, Yuhai Sect

After passing down more instructions to his merchant group, Song Zhen followed Shang Xia back to the Spirit Luxuriant World through the hidden passage between the Essence Ming World and the Spirit Faith World.

Although it was a path frequently used to smuggle people or treasures in and out of the Heavenly Field, it was practically void of danger. When they arrived in the vicinity of the Spirit Faith World, Shang Xia and Song Zhen rushed to Star Beast Nest No.1 to return to the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Actually, after entering Star Beast Nest No.1, Shang Xia learned that Star Beast Nest No.2 was still intact. They weren’t being invaded at all.

He didn’t have time to learn of everything that happened and rushed back to the Spirit Luxuriant World at top speed. Before he could return to the Tongyou Institution, he was stopped by Zhang Xuansheng outside the heavenly screen.

“Did you antagonize the members of the Essence Xing World?” Zhang Xuansheng asked the moment they met.

Shang Xia’s expression changed slightly and asked, “Did something happen to Star Beast Nest No.2?”

Revealing a look like he had expected as much. “3 or so months ago, the Essence Xing World started to watch the Star Beast Nest a lot more closely than before. Fortunately, your Illusion Talisman managed to confuse them. Your clone also sent news back to our world as soon as possible. We could only call Patriarch Kou back to take charge of matters there. Right now, my clone has been dealing with the members of the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World regarding our alliance.”

Shang Xia heaved a sigh of relief. A high-level True Immortal’s presence in a Star Beast Nest was truly able to prevent anyone from doing anything stupid. Shang Xia’s clone might only be acting like one with the Illusion Talisman, but Kou Chongxue was the real thing!

Since the Essence Xing World didn’t attack the Star Beast Nest immediately, that would mean that they didn’t actually have the resources to do so with the chaos in their world.

Also... Shang Xia knew that they would have to station a high-level True Immortal there from now on.

Since the Spirit Mammoth World revealed the secret of the Spirit Luxuriant World to the other powerful factions, that would mean that the Spirit Luxuriant World was basically completely exposed. There was no way they would be able to hide the fact that they only had 3 high-level True Immortals.

Shang Xia, who had just heaved a sigh of relief, realized what a shitshow it had become and his expression sank.

The Spirit Mammoth World’s actions had truly disgusted him. Since they were going to play dirty, Shang Xia decided to settle the score with them in the future.

No matter what, the Spirit Luxuriant World and Spirit Mammoth World were worlds in the Heaven Observation Field. No matter how they fought each other within, they still had to remain united when faced with external threats. Who would have thought that the Spirit Mammoth World didn’t seem to have a bottomline? As a Spirit World standing at the peak of the Heaven Observation Field, Shang Xia refused to believe they were fools who didn’t understand that everyone within had to be united. However, they seemed hell-bent on fucking over the Spirit Luxuriant World and Shang Xia would respond in kind.

Seeing the overcast expression on Shang Xia’s face, Zhang Xuansheng frowned. “How serious is it?”

Shang Xia thought for a second and didn’t hide anything from the old expert. He spoke of his experiences without hiding matters regarding the world.

From that point on, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue would definitely need to work with Zhang Xuansheng closely. The Star Curtain was about to crumble and they needed to be united to deal with the enemies from outside. Only then would they be able to face the dangers that would come. To work together, they naturally had to build their trust by being honest to each other.

After hearing Shang Xia’s experience in months that passed, his eyes widened in shock. As it turned out, everything he heard about the chaos in the Essence Xing World that caused them to be unable to deal with the Heaven Observation Field and Spirit Luxuriant World for the time being was actually caused by the mighty troublemaker in front of him!

When he heard how the Wanyun Association and Twin Star Pirates were attacked by a Martial Emptiness Realm Sage, he couldn’t help but reveal an envious expression.

The desire to adventure was carved into the bones of every cultivator. How could one cultivate without taking risks and experiencing near-death situations? It was too bad Zhang Xuansheng was an Elysium True Immortal and was restricted to the Spirit Luxuriant World.

After hearing how Shang Xia escaped and made a deal with the Twin Star Pirates for the world fragment that consisted of 3 continents at a state of perfection, Zhang Xuansheng couldn’t help but tell him to hurry up and bring it back.

Shang Xia understood that he could only move so fast as the Spirit Ark had to be prepared and a path had to be chartered, so he asked Zhang Xuansheng what happened recently in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

“Yuhai Sect?” Shang Xia revealed a strange expression after hearing Zhang Xuansheng’s explanation. “Why do they sound so familiar? What did the Tianya Pavilion say about them?”

Zhang Xuansheng replied, “They’re different now, Members of other worlds might have infiltrated their sect and taken over control. The Tianya Pavilion thinks that even if foreign experts took over their sect, the inheritance they used is probably very similar.”

Shang Xia frowned and no one knew what he was thinking of. Soon after, he looked at Zhang Xuansheng and laughed, “What’s the matter? True Immortals of other worlds infiltrated us and took over a sect. Aren’t you going to personally take charge of the matter and look at what happened?”

Zhang Xuansheng laughed casually at that. “I might be curious, but True Immortal Sun and True Immortal Ge of your Tongyou Institution, along with True Immortal Jiu Jing of the Divine Capital Sect and True Immortal Yifan of the Eternal Palace have been taking charge of the matter. Fei Xuzi of my sect is also doing the same. With 5 True Immortals involved, they will probably think that I’m overriding their authority if I step in...”

Shang Xia understood that even though the Yuhai Sect caught the attention of those of the various Elysiums, the danger level was still under control. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a need to mention Zhang Xuansheng, Shang Xia, or Kou Chongxue. Yang Taihe and the others would have leaped into action before them and not let the Yuhai Sect grow stronger.

Since there was a good chance to let the first tier True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World temper themselves, the real experts wouldn’t let the chance go easily. All 5 of them gathered over the sea and created an encirclement around the Yuhai Sect. They prepared to completely eradicate the faction that posed a threat to their world, and the other factions wouldn’t be stupid enough to butt in.

Shang Xia suddenly recalled why the Yuhai Sect sounded so familiar. When he helped the Tianya Pavilion in the past, Lady Yu was attacked by experts from the Muhai Sect. Those experts were able to control the sea spiritual beasts and were called Muhai Envoys.

Shang Xia would rather slam his head into a wall and die than to believe that the Muhai Sect and Yuhai Sect weren’t related. After all, their names were too similar.

What was even more important was the fact that the Muhai Envoys could hide in the body of the beasts. They might look like humans, but because of their interactions with those sea beasts, their bodies had already transformed. Their ability to speak had also degenerated and they usually had a strange accent.

“They seem strangely familiar to Beast Warriors...” Shang Xia mumbled to himself.

“Beast Warriors?” Zhang Xuansheng asked curiously since he was hearing the term for the first time.

Earlier, Shang Xia mentioned his experience outside the Heaven Observation Field and how he suffered an attack from a Beast Warrior controlling Star Beasts.

Hearing his question, Shang Xia explained what a Beast Warrior was to him.

Zhang Xuansheng’s expression sank when he heard the explanation.

After Shang Xia was done, Zhang Xuansheng sighed, “The important thing we need to do now is not to verify whether or not they’re Beast Warriors. We need to learn how they managed to enter our world and whether or not they discovered the existence of the Heaven Observation Field and if they know of a way to enter and leave as they please. We also need to know if there are more Beast Warriors who will try to infiltrate us or the Heaven Observation Field as a whole.”

Shang Xia was slightly taken aback. “What’s the matter? True Immortal Zhang, can we not verify their origins?”

“Many people think that you were the one who brought them in...” Zhang Xuansheng raised an eyebrow and explained.

“Me?” Shang Xia found it funny, but he quickly reacted, “Do they suspect that those people have been hiding in the Spirit Dusk World’s remains?”

The world fragment of the Spirit Dusk World contained massive oceans. Moreover, the Yuhai Sect’s appearance came after the world fragment was integrated into the Spirit Luxuriant World. With the rapid growth of the world, they grew along with it. The Spirit Luxuriant World also produced high-level spiritual beasts and sea spiritual beasts that were not seen before.

That was why many people felt that it was only possible for the members of the Yuhai Sect to enter the world after the incident.

Zhang Xuansheng looked at Shang Xia and muttered, “Aren’t you afraid that the True Immortals of the Yuhai World will try to steal our world origin?”

Shang Xia thought for a second before asking, “Wait. Tell me... Are the True Immortals of the Yuhai Sect humans or beasts?”

“Originally, I thought they were beasts. But after hearing how they’re hiding in the beasts they control, I can’t be sure anymore. Moreover, we can also be sure that they’re not suppressed by the World’s Will!”

“What?!”
