Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1073: Crossing a Thousand Miles in a Flash
“Spirit Faith World!” Shang Xia shot a glance at the clones of the other True Immortals and noticed their fluctuating emotions.
There was no doubt about it. The True Immortals on the other side were probably feeling the same thing.
“I am Yan Wujiu. I would like to ask… How did all of you manage to locate this place?” The other side seemed to want to point something out to Shang Xia and the others.
“For them to mention ‘locating this place’… Would that mean that the Spirit Faith World is close by?” Yang Taihe sent a voice transmission to the others.
“Maybe it’s their way of trying to hide it, but… This makes it too obvious!” Zhang Xuansheng also responded, but he seemed to be slightly conservative in his estimates.
On the side, Li Jidao’s clone muttered, “Since things have already progressed to this point, we definitely have to carefully inspect the space hundreds of thousands of miles around this Space Beast Nest.”
“If the Spirit Faith World really is located in this region, we’ll hold the initiative right now!” Kou Chongxue muttered. He turned around and immediately sent another voice transmission to Shang Xia, “Kid, how do you plan to deal with this?”
Shang Xia revealed a soft smile and addressed the other party directly, “We located this place exactly how you did!”
One of the first tier True Immortals on the other side growled, “The Star Beasts here have been harassing our world. We suffered quite a bit in their hands and we gathered our True Immortals to search for several months before finding their nest…”
The second tier True Immortal coughed softly and interrupted the person speaking.
Shang Xia and the others had been communicating silently the entire time. They were able to gain a lot of information from what the other party said earlier.
“The Spirit Faith World was once besieged by a horde of Star Beasts and there has to be a rank six Star Beast among them. If this is the only Star Beast Nest in the region… Wouldn’t that mean that they couldn’t even handle a single rank six Star Beast?”
“Maybe they already killed one…?”
One had to know that when the Spirit Luxuriant World was under attack, the pack that split off from the horde was slain completely. Even the rank six Star Beast was killed by Shang Xia without help from anyone else.
That point alone was enough to prove the difference in strength between the worlds.
“Were the True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World out when the Star Beast attacked? Did the beasts manage to catch them at a bad time?”
“Or maybe… The Spirit Faith World is actually just the Azure Faith World!”
As soon as someone voiced that guess, everyone fell silent.
Shang Xia took the chance to continue speaking to the others. “Fellow cultivators, you can rest assured then. The rank six Star Beast brought along tens of rank four and five Star Beasts to mess with us and we exterminated them all. We have also conquered their nest.”
As soon as they heard what he said, their expressions changed.
Zhang Xuansheng’s clone spoke to the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World, “They have been searching for several months before chasing a single Star Beast back to its nest, and that would mean that they don’t have a Stargazer inheritance. They can’t deduce its location like us.”
Yang Taihe’s clone continued, “Even though we conquered the Star Beast Nest, we can’t bring it away with us. If they truly come from a Spirit World, and they’re located nearby, it has already been some time since we ran into them. They would definitely have sent reinforcements…”
Li Jidao’s clone spoke in a deep voice, “If they really are from a Spirit World, we can’t take them lightly…”
Everyone understood Li Jidao’s concern. If the Spirit Faith World truly existed and had 3 True Immortals who could roam the sea of stars… How many Elysium True Immortals would they have?
Shang Xia couldn’t help but add, “For them to waste so much time talking to us… They’re either thinking about how to communicate properly with us or even establish some sort of cooperation, or they’re buying time to wait for their reinforcements to arrive.”
Yang Taihe’s clone asked Shang Xia another question all of a sudden. “True Immortal Little Shang, How confident are you of obtaining victory if you fight all 3 of them?”
“What’s the matter? Do all 4 of you plan to stand at the side and watch us fight?” Shang Xia chuckled in response without answering the question directly.
Even though their clones were at the bottom tier in terms of combat abilities of the Martial Void Realm, they still had the power of one nonetheless! Not to mention the fact that there were 4 of them! If they joined hands, it wouldn’t be a problem to deal with an ordinary second tier True Immortal.
Yang Taihe’s clone simply chuckled without saying anything else.
Yan Wujiu finally answered, “Fellow cultivators of the Spirit Luxuriant World, where are you in the vast sea of stars anyway? The sea of stars is too massive and our worlds are fated if we ran into each other today. Our worlds should exchange pointers and help each other grow!”
Li Jidao’s clone roared with laughter while addressing the other experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World. “They’re really taking us as newbies who hadn’t seen the vast sea of stars. Do they really think that they can get us to reveal the position of our world with a few simple inquiries?”
“Why do we need to make things so complicated? This nest is a good enough platform for us to carry out an exchange and help each other. If you’re really interested in our world, you can easily head over from the spatial tunnel we created inside the secret region that contains the Star Beast Nest!” Shang Xia joked. Even though he sounded light-hearted, he was warning them that the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World weren’t going to give up the Star Beast Nest and would be managing it directly.
Of course, they had to establish the necessary friendliness.
The Spirit Luxuriant World had all the qualifications to speak that way. After all, they were the ones who grasped the advantage after conquering the Star Beast Nest. The worst case scenario would be destroying it completely and retreating to the Spirit Luxuriant World. Even if that was what they did, they wouldn’t be losing anything anyway.
However, if they were truly able to establish themselves in that region of space…
Shang Xia’s expression changed slightly and he quickly addressed the clones. “There’s a third tier True Immortal rushing over as we speak!”
Even though they were shocked, their expressions didn’t change in the slightest.
Shang Xia didn’t just talk to the True Immortal clones. He also spoke to the Martial Dipper Realm experts from the various factions. “An expert from the other side is here. All of you should retreat to the Spirit Luxuriant World for the time being.”
The mid to high-level experts who were searching for treasure in the Star Beast Nest quickly received the news. With their Marital Dipper Realm experts leading the way, all of them returned to the Spirit Luxuriant World in an orderly fashion.
When everyone was extremely alert and ready to do battle at any time, the True Immortals from the Spirit Faith World seemed to notice something and a look of joy appeared on Yan Wujiu’s face. He addressed Shang Xia and the others loudly, “Fellow cultivators, since you managed to clean up the Star Beast Nest, feel free to take everything with you. However, we would like to invite you to leave this place as soon as possible and return to your world. Let’s not interfere in each other’s matters.”
Shang Xia chuckled in response, “What’s with the sudden change of attitude? Is it because you found someone to rely on like the third tier True Immortal who is rushing over as we speak?”
Yan Wujiu’s expression sank and he gasped instinctively, “How do you know?!”
Before Shang Xia could respond, a ball of snowy white light appeared thousands of miles away. In an instant, it crossed the distance like a shooting star and rushed straight for the Star Beast Nest that was behind Shang Xia and the rest.
