Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1075: Unable to Resist
To be honest, the existence of a third tier True Immortal who could leave the Spirit Faith World as he pleased already exceeded the expectations of those from the Spirit Luxuriant World.
The moment they detected his presence, the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World even made up their minds to give up on the Star Beast Nest if they had to.
A third tier True Immortal wasn’t someone who could be easily nurtured by any world!
Even the Spirit Luxuriant World, which could be seen as a freakish existence among Spirit Worlds, only managed to produce a third tier Elysium True Immortal like Yang Taihe after an ungodly amount of time!
Kou Chongxue, the widely recognized son of luck, and Shang Xia, the crazy freak of the Spirit Luxuriant World who seemed to possess some insane talent and cultivation method, were still stuck in the second tier!
Even so, their appearance already shocked the experts of the Spirit Faith World so much that their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
The appearance of a third tier True Immortal was undoubtedly a sign that the Spirit Faith World had been in existence far longer than the Spirit Luxuriant World. After all, the longer they lived, the greater their foundations…
Before they fully understood the Spirit Faith World, it seemed as though the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World weren’t planning to let the conflict grow too intense. Moreover, the Star Beast Nest was a great place they could harvest resources from and there was no need to go from taking over a secret region to starting another war between worlds so easily.
To the experts of the Spirit Faith World, Shang Xia’s cultivation was at the level of Inner Fusion, but he was already able to fight a third tier True Immortal at the level of External Unity without falling to a great disadvantage. They were already shocked by his achievement, not to mention the fact that the other side already stationed 6 True Immortals in the Star Beast Nest with another second tier True Immortal rushing over as they spoke.
Under such circumstances, they wouldn’t dare to make reckless moves in the face of the power the Spirit Luxuriant World revealed.
It was also then that Kou Chongxue’s true body arrived in the secret region. A moment later, he arrived outside the Star Beast Nest and met up with his clone.
The second Kou Chongxue appeared, the clone returned to him and his aura burst forth, unrestrained. The might of a second tier True Immortal was revealed instantly!
Compared to Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue’s aura might not be as majestic or powerful, but it was still terrifying. It was sharp and he seemed to be in great control of it. Yan Wujiu, who was also a second tier True Immortal, didn’t dare to take another step forward and he didn’t even dare to meet Kou Chongxue’s gaze!
Retreating before they even started fighting… Without a doubt, Yan Wujiu was no match for Kou Chongxue!
Earlier, there was Shang Xia who resisted the strike of a third tier True Immortal without being thrown into a complete disadvantage. Now, there was Kou Chongxue whose aura alone was enough to completely suppress an expert of the same level.
How the hell are the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World so damn powerful with such high combat abilities?!
Whatever happened couldn’t be hidden from Shang Xia or the third tier True Immortal of the Spirit Faith World.
Finally, the third tier True Immortal spoke. “What do you want to talk about?”
Shang Xia chuckled and understood that the other party no longer wanted to fight. He cupped his fists in response and gave a proper introduction, “I am Shang Xia of the Spirit Luxuriant World. How may I address you, esteemed senior?”
Falling silent for a moment, the third tier True Immortal eventually muttered, “You can call me Lan Zhengfeng!”
“Senior Lan it is! We managed to come here through a coincidence, but since we managed to locate the Star Beast Nest, it doesn’t make sense for us to leave it alone and give away all the benefits. It’s fortunate we managed to run into each other on accident and all we want is to use the Star Beast Nest as a platform to interact with you guys.” Shang Xia laughed.
The third tier True Immortal glanced at Shang Xia and muttered, “Why do you think I should believe what you said?”
“You should believe in our abilities! With our world’s foundations and collective strength, both of us can trust that we aren’t useless and neither will we go back on our word. After all, we found this place, didn’t we?” Shang Xia chuckled.
Falling silent for a moment, Lan Zhengfeng continued, “Fellow cultivator, you seem straightforward. However, how much do you understand about our Spirit Faith World?”
With a confident look in his eyes, Shang Xia declared, “I’m just putting it out there right now. It’s exactly because we don’t know anything about each other that we need to communicate and interact with each other!”
“Since that’s the case, I’ll hand this over to the other True Immortals. You guys can iron out the details yourself. I’ll take my leave!” The third tier True Immortal grunted once and chose to take his leave.
After he was done, his aura disappeared from Shang Xia’s range of detection.
Ensuring that the other party was gone, Shang Xia smiled to himself before turning to return.
After seeing that the third tier True Immortal had left, Yan Wujiu and the others also retreated slowly.
“Did you reach an agreement?” Kou Chongxue asked the moment Shang Xia returned.
Shang Xia no longer looked as composed as before. He nodded casually and mumbled, “We won’t be fighting for the time being. Let’s get some people over to start negotiations with them. I’m afraid we need to station a True Immortal in the Star Beast Nest in the future. Moreover, they need to be ready to retreat the moment they try anything funny…”
Kou Chongxue nodded with praise, “The other side has a third tier True Immortal and it’s clear their foundations are a lot stronger than us. It’s a smart move to not fight immediately…”
Shang Xia also nodded in response.
One couldn’t see how the True Immortals of the Spirit Faith World had left. If Shang Xia or Kou Chongxue tried to leave the vicinity of the Star Beast Nest to poke about, they had no doubt they would be attacked again! In fact, they might fall right into a trap.
“Since the matter has been dealt with, shall we return to the Spirit Luxuriant World?” Yang Taihe’s clone asked.
Li Jidao’s clone questioned, “We need a True Immortal to remain here to hold the fort. Who among us will be the most suitable?”
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuansheng’s clone sighed, “Unless either Patriarch Kou or True Immortal Shang Xia is willing to stay behind, we can’t do anything else. None of us clones are suitable to remain…”
After thinking for some time, Yang Taihe’s clone responded, “It’s true that our clones can’t be stationed here. At the very least, not now. We need someone to station their true body here for the time being.”
Everyone turned to look at Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia.
Waving his hand, Kou Chongxue sighed, “This old man here has to protect the Tongyou Elysium and I don’t have the energy to stay here.”
“I have an appointment in Star Origin City that I can’t miss.” Shang Xia added.
The clones looked at each other and eventually, Zhang Xuansheng spoke on their behalf. “Looks like it’s going to be either Huang Jinghan or Lu Wuzi then.”
“Let’s just send Huang Jinghan over here. There’s Liu Jingsheng to take care of matters in the Yuanchen Sect anyway. Moreover, Huang Jinghan isn’t a weakling. We can also reveal the existence of another True Immortal to ensure the members of the Spirit Faith World remain in check.” Li Jidao’s clone concluded.
Pressing his lips together, Shang Xia agreed. “This sounds like a good plan. We’ll let Senior Huang take up the post in the Star Beast Nest for a few years and after the communication between our worlds stabilizes, we can send a clone over.”
Zhang Xuansheng’s clone finally concluded, “Alright, that’s settled then. We’ll head back and inform the Yuanchen Sect.”
Facing the ‘recommendation’ of so many True Immortals, there was no chance for Huang Jinghan to reject their goodwill.
As they returned to the secret region, the True Immortals and clones eventually stared at Tian Mengzi who was emitting the aura of a True Immortal.
In their eyes, Tian Mengzi was a mere third element Martial Dipper Realm expert. However, he was surrounded by the aura of a True Immortal even though he was just standing there.
Their gazes soon landed on the rank five talisman in his hand.
“True Immortal Little Shang is truly a skilled master. If I didn’t personally witness such an amazing disguise method, even I would be fooled!” Li Jidao’s clone mumbled as a strange light flashed in his eyes.
“True Immortal Li is exaggerating…” Shang Xia waved his arm once and scattered the aura of a True Immortal around Tian Mengzi. At the same time, the Illusion Talisman in his hand turned to dust.
