Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1057: Complete Star Observatory

“True Immortal Little Shang, you didn’t reject our request to craft rank six talismans back then. Are you willing to help us out?” Deputy Pavilion Master Zhou Mingdao asked as soon as he saw Shang Xia.

In the past, the members of the Starry Pavilion indeed made a request for Shang Xia to help craft rank six talismans through Ren Huan. They were willing to provide the talisman paper, talisman ink, and divine grade brush he needed. All they wanted was for him to craft a special talisman they required.

When Shang Xia was preparing to craft his Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman back then, he was extremely interested in the divine grade brush the Starry Pavilion was willing to provide. However, he decided to complete the talisman before making any promises.

He didn’t reject them back then. After all, any opportunity to craft rank six talismans was hard to come by.

The only thing he didn’t want was to owe the Starry Pavilion too many favors. After all, the Star Origin Guards were their backers.

Facing Zhou Mingdao’s question, Shang Xia understood that there was another meaning behind his question. After all, the timing was just too coincidental!

It had been 7 days since Kou Chongxue returned to the Spirit Luxuriant World, and the news of someone discovering the Star Origin Guards’ presence in the ruins of the destroyed world should have reached the city. It was more than enough for them to narrow down their scope of search.

If Shang Xia agreed to head over to Star Origin City to craft talismans, he would immediately expose the fact that Kou Chongxue had already returned to the Spirit Luxuriant World. Moreover, the patriarch didn’t pass through Star Origin City on his way back and that would make him a lot more suspicious.

With thoughts churning in his mind, Shang Xia understood that his reaction would bring about severe consequences. A natural smile appeared on his face but he sighed apologetically, “How can I be willing to pass up an opportunity like that? However… Our Patriarch has yet to return and my You Continent cannot be left without the protection of a True Immortal. I believe Deputy Pavilion Master Zhou heard what happened. A high-level True Immortal infiltrated my Tongyou Elysium recently and I won’t be able to leave for the time being. I hope Deputy Pavilion Master Zhou can give me a little more time. We have already called our patriarch back and I believe he should return soon. As soon as he arrives, I will head over to your Starry Pavilion to craft the talisman you need!”

Shang Xia sounded sincere while expressing his disappointment for not being able to leave. Unfortunately, he had to stay in the Tongyou Institution due to Patriarch Kou’s absence.

Even though Zhou Mingdao was the deputy pavilion master, he was still a Martial Dipper Realm cultivator at the end of the day. He didn’t dare to put on airs in front of Shang Xia! He hastily replied, “True Immortal Little Shang, there’s no need to act this way! It’s our honor for you to agree to help us craft talismans. I will definitely convey your agreement and request when I return. It’s just that… I apologize for probing, but do you know where your patriarch has gone? From what I know, it has already been several days since the infiltration. Did he not receive your emergency summons?”

Shang Xia broke out laughing without sounding unnatural at all. “You might not know this, but our patriarch has always been an elusive figure. He’s used to dumping his responsibilities here and running away. He didn’t even inform me when he left the Spirit Luxuriant World, afraid I would run away before him.”

Zhou Mingdao chuckled in response. “True Immortal Kou is truly a special figure…”

…

Right after Shang Xia sent Zhou Mingdao away, Kou Chongxue’s voice rang in his ears. “I heard everything you guys said earlier!”

“Heh, are you happy after hearing all the shit we talked about you?” Shang Xia snorted in response.

…

After returning from the Tianya Pavilion, Chu Jia made adjustments to every single formation in the institution.

Even though nothing much changed, one had to admit that those formations received an all-rounded upgrade. It was especially in terms of their ability to detect intruders.

Shang Xia, who had been observing everything she had done, could tell that Chu Jia’s art of formations reached another level despite not knowing too much about formations.

Perhaps she needed some ways to go to reach a rank six Formation Grandmaster, she had more than solidified her foundations in the fifth rank.

Without a doubt, the moment the Formation Divine Weapon was complete, Chu Jia would improve greatly again. When that happened, she might truly step through the gates of a rank six Formation Grandmaster.

Because of the infiltration, the Tongyou Institution had no choice but to prepare to lay down a rank six formation. They gathered high-level resources as quickly as they could, even if they had to reveal that Chu Jia would be able to become a rank six Formation Grandmaster.

When the Spirit Luxuriant World was constructing their formation defense system around their world, Chu Jia’s achievements were clear for all to see. Becoming a rank six Formation Grandmaster wasn’t actually surprising to the other members of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

After staying in the Tongyou City for half a month, Chu Jia hastily returned to the Tianya Pavilion to continue nurturing her Formation Divine Weapon artifact spirit.

2 more days passed as a spatial tunnel appeared in the wilderness on the Land of Star Origin before Kou Chongxue reappeared. He ran anxiously to the Star Relay before initiating a transfer to the Spirit Luxuriant World.

He didn’t conceal his aura the entire time and he was soon discovered by many True Immortals.

As what happened in the Spirit Luxuriant World had spread through the city and other worlds, everyone knew why Kou Chongxue was in such haste to return.

However, after Kou Chongxue returned, Shang Xia was in no rush to head to the Starry Pavilion to craft talismans. He intentionally waited for some time before going over.

He didn’t wish to make it look too intentional and let the experts in the Starry Pavilion notice anything wrong.

Also, he didn’t drag things out for fun. Something else actually happened in the Spirit Luxuriant World during that time. With the support of the Heavenly Star Palace and the various Elysiums, the Star Observatory in the Jiao Continent was completed!

That would mean that the Heavenly Star Palace could restore the Stargazer inheritance and start nurturing Stargazers!

According to the agreement between the Heavenly Star Palace and the 6 great powers of the Spirit Luxuriant World, after they restored the Stargazer inheritance, they would share it with the others.

Actually, when the Heavenly Star Palace involved themselves in the reconstruction, the great powers already started preparing themselves to produce Stargazers. The Tongyou Institution was no exception as they sent a bunch of disciples over to learn.

Compared to the other great powers, the members of the Tongyou Institution had another advantage. They already had a portion of the inheritance Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia found back then.

Even though they had an advantage in that aspect, only Yan Ming and another student in the Upper Division of the institution were determined to have enough potential to receive the inheritance.

When the Star Observatory was completed, other than the experts of the Heavenly Star Palace, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World arrived either with a clone or their true body.

After all, a Star Observatory was just too important! To any world, the value of Stargazers was also immense!
