Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1010: Six Directions and the You Continent Pt.2

“Looks like the method Young Friend Shang is using to enter the Martial Void Realm is truly different from Patriarch Kou…” Another person arrived soon after Lu Wuzi.

Liu Jingsheng stared at the You Continent with a look of interest. He suppressed Dugu Yuanshan with Kou Chongxue’s help in the past, and he was there for Kou Chongxue’s entire breakthrough process. He could clearly tell that there was almost nothing similar in the way Kou Chongxue had broken through and how Shang Xia was currently making the advancement.

As for why they were certain Shang Xia was the one who was attempting the advancement to the next level… He was just too eye-catching! A little more than a year ago, all of them also witnessed his strength when he smashed his Stone Rod into Zhang Xuansheng’s domain cage. His strength and cultivation were exposed for all of them to see.

Kou Chongxue muttered softly, “My Tongyou Institution hasn’t been around for too long and our foundations cannot be compared to all of you. I was able to enter the Martial Void Realm because of the world ascension back then, and the kid has to rely on himself…”

Even with the temperament that they had cultivated over more than 100 years, the other True Immortals stared at Kou Chongxue with strange looks on their faces.

In the past, they didn’t even dare to imagine how Kou Chongxue managed to break through without a proper inheritance!

Not only did he succeed… He even managed to come up with a rank six inheritance during the process.

Now that Shang Xia was trying to enter the Martial Void Realm, everyone told them that he managed to work on the rank six advancement formula and came up with something new on his own!

How long has it been since the rise of the Tongyou Institution?!

They even managed to obtain a proper rank six inheritance in such a short amount of time! How would the other Elysiums that existed for hundreds of years feel?!

Not to mention the fact that the Tongyou Institution, a faction that didn’t even follow the traditional naming conventions of the martial world, managed to produce their second True Immortal ahead of the 4 great Elysiums of the Spirit Luxuriant World!

Weren’t they supposed to have the weakest foundations?!

Thinking about the Tongyou Institution and their second True Immortal, everyone couldn’t help but look at Zhang Xuansheng and Lu Wuzi.

If not for the fact that they fell out with each other and Lu Wuzi left to establish the Ice Essence Sect, the Northern Sea Mystic Sect should be the first Elysium in the Spirit Luxuriant World to possess 2 True Immortals!

They might have hidden themselves well, but how could Zhang Xuansheng and Lu Wuzi not know what the others were thinking about?

“Is Young Friend Shang really planning to encompass the You Continent with his domain projection?” Another voice rang through the air and the final True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World arrived.

Yang Taihe of the Eternal Palace finally made his appearance.

Seemingly having already felt the strange atmosphere in the air, Yang Taihe ignored it completely. Instead, he walked between them all and stared at the situation in the You Continent.

Raising an eyebrow, he turned to look at Kou Chongxue. “Patriarch Kou, aren’t you afraid that he’s overestimating himself?”

A smile appeared on Kou Chongxue’s face. “True Immortal Yang, don’t you know? The spirituality of my You Continent is fractured…”

“Oh…” Yang Taihe grunted once before shaking his head. He no longer spoke.

A strange light flashed in Li Jidao’s eyes and he seemed to fall into contemplation.

The spirituality of the You Continent recovered due to the world ascension. If it was before the Spirit Luxuriant World formed, the spirituality of the You Continent was greatly damaged. Even with Kou Chongxue’s efforts along with the help of the institution, the spirituality was far from what it used to be.

The Divine Capital Sect, Eternal Palace, and the Northern Sea Mystic Sect that discovered the method to devour the spirituality of other continents to become an Elysium were the masterminds behind everything! Or to be more exact, Yang Taihe, Li Jidao, and Zhang Xuansheng were the ones behind it!

“The past is the past. Now, many things have changed after the successful formation of our Spirit Luxuriant World. Let us quietly await Young Friend Shang’s ascension…” Liu Jingsheng spoke suddenly, dissolving the awkward air that formed.

The True Immortals who have gathered above the heavenly screen turned to stare at the You Continent in unison and no longer spoke.

…

Shang Xia didn’t hesitate to eat the fifth portion of his advancement medicine as soon as the time arrived.

His dantian continued to transform, and a five colored light curtain appeared from the northern border of the You Continent. It started to fade as it stretched towards the heavenly screen, but there was no hiding its existence.

“That’s the fourth light curtain he created… Young Friend Shang is truly courageous. He really plans to encompass the You Continent in his domain the moment he ascends!” Yang Taihe sighed indifferently and no one could tell what he was truly feeling at the moment.

Kou Chongxue shot Yang Taihe a calm gaze. He naturally wouldn’t tell the rest that before the first curtain of light appeared, Shang Xia had already covered the earth below with his Five Element Origin.

After thinking about everything that happened, Kou Chongxue made the connection. A trace of shock filled his heart. He heard about the Six Directions from Shang Xia in the past and learned that the Six Directions consisted of the 4 main directions, and the heavens and earth!

There were 4 curtains of light around the You Continent, and that basically represented the 4 main directions. Considering how the first stream of five colored light covered the earth… That would mean that the only thing Shang Xia was lacking was the heavens!

When Kou Chongxue was thinking about the meaning of the six directions, Li Jidao, who was the first to arrive, muttered, “Young Friend Shang seems to be producing these heavenly phenomena at regular intervals.”

He turned to look at Kou Chongxue before he continued, “With the exception of Patriarch Kou, I was the first to arrive. When that happened, the light curtain in the east was already present. 4 hours passed when the next light curtain appeared in the south. After 4 more hours, the light curtain appeared in the west… If we count backward, the first curtain of light should have appeared at 4am. Patriarch Kou, am I right?”

Zhang Xuansheng and the rest turned to look at Kou Chongxue. However, Kou Chongxue seemed to be deep in thought as his brows were locked together. It was as though he hadn’t heard the question.

Even so, the others were basically convinced that Li Jidao was right.

Zhang Xuansheng started to ponder to himself. “In that case, Young Friend Shang’s advancement process would follow some sort of rhythm. That would mean that he already completed his advancement formula and already determined the exact time he would need to take his advancement medicine…”

Yang Taihe couldn’t help but continue, “Will his method be able to lower the risks of entering the Martial Void Realm and increase the success rate?”

No one else spoke after Yang Taihe, but all of them found it difficult to conceal their complicated emotions.

Liu Jingsheng sighed softly to break the silence and he cupped his hands towards Kou Chongxue. “Brother Kou, congratulations!”

Naturally, his congratulations had nothing to do with Shang Xia’s advancement. Instead, he referred to the Tongyou Institution gaining a complete rank six inheritance.

To that, Kou Chongxue could only shake his head slowly while muttering, “The ascension process isn’t complete… It’s too early to congratulate me. Let’s wait for the outcome before anything else…”

…

By the time their conversation concluded, they weren’t the only ones above the heavenly screen. Any Martial Dipper Realm expert who received the news had already rushed over to the heavenly screen above the You Continent. Of course, they could only stare at the commotion from afar as the True Immortals were gathered above the source of everything. There were even a few who entered the You Continent directly to observe the situation.

Regardless of what they did, those Martial Dipper Realm experts wouldn’t be able to observe the entire process of Shang Xia’s ascension.

No longer speaking to each other, the True Immortals who gathered above the You Continent started to explain what was going on to the disciples of their factions. Kou Chongxue was no exception.

It didn’t matter if Shang Xia would succeed. The phenomena he caused around the You Continent were a great opportunity for the Martial Dipper Realm cultivators who arrived.

As time slowly passed, the 4 hour mark was about to arrive and the True Immortals turned their attention back to the You Continent. They no longer explained what was going on as they wanted to verify whatever Li Jidao said.

Indeed… Amidst their soft sighs, another curtain of five colored light appeared above the You Continent.

This time, the curtain of light didn’t appear at any of the borders. Instead, it emerged from the center of the continent before rising into the air. Unlike the curtains of light that faded as they rose towards the heavenly screen, this new stream of light grew in intensity and eventually covered the skies above the You Continent!

In the eyes of the True Immortals, the light seemed to connect the rest of the light curtains to turn into a massive blanket that covered the continent.

Yang Taihe raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself with a little uncertainty. “Is that the fifth one?”

Li Jidao hesitated slightly and shot a curious gaze at Kou Chongxue.

Naturally, he received no response. Kou Chongxue simply stared at what was happening below.

Lu Wuzi chuckled softly at the side suddenly. “Looks like Young Friend Shang is really crazy… It actually looks possible for him to control the power of the world in the You Continent!”

Clearly, his words were to jibe Zhang Xuansheng who laughed at Shang Xia for overestimating himself when he first arrived.

With things reaching its current state, everyone could tell that it was highly likely he would succeed.

There was no need to mention how ugly Zhang Xuansheng’s expression was after he was mocked. Not to mention the fact that the person who mocked him used to be a disciple of his faction.

Li Jidao glanced at Lu Wuzi before sneering softly, “Young Friend Shang might have formed his Void Origin, but he still needs to consolidate his foundations. It’s too early to be celebrating yet.”

Colorful expressions appeared on their faces at that comment.

When they were still waiting for Shang Xia to complete his breakthrough, the World Origin Source started to bubble and a new Void Origin entered at a speed that left all of them flabbergasted as it branded itself into the world.
