Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1095: True Space Restriction Palm Talisman

In the maple forest 300 miles away from Tonggu City…

Yun Hu and Shang Xia seemed to reach an initial understanding with each other. The next thing they had to do was to come up with a proper plan to kill Gu Chengwu.

They discussed for over 4 hours in the maple forest all the way til the set started to set before going their separate ways.

It didn’t matter if it was Shang Xia or Yun Hu… Even though they managed to gain each other’s trust, they knew that it was limited to the 2 of them at the moment.

Since they wanted to scheme against a powerful Spirit World, it was obvious the 2 of them weren’t enough to actually succeed. In order to get the powers behind them both to take part in the operation without any reservation, they would need a chance to properly form a basis of trust for each other!

Killing Gu Chengwu and weakening the foundations of the Spirit Faith World would be the key to the start of cooperation for the Spirit Luxuriant World, Azure Intellect World, and Azure Roaming World!

As such, during their discussion, Shang Xia and Yun Hu revealed a little about the power behind them. Yun Hu also spoke about matters regarding the powers of the Spirit Faith World. He talked about the combat strength of the high-level combatants in detail, especially some secrets that only true experts of the world knew. Obviously, he knew a lot more than Zhu Honglin.

When they left earlier, Shang Xia thought of something and sent a long-range voice transmission, “Elder, since the Azure Roaming World and Azure Intellect World are so desperate to regain their freedom, why did the 3 worlds come together initially?”

Yun Hu didn’t seem surprised that Shang Xia would ask that question. He was even curious why Shang Xia only thought of it after such a long time. Whatever it was, he replied casually, “True Immortal Shang, when you followed True Immortal Luo’s tracks back here, did you notice the ruins of another world along the way?”

Shang Xia nodded to himself. It was true that he noticed the ruins of another world as he made his way over.

Yun Hu continued, “It was once called the Spirit Emptiness World, and it was a peak-tier Spirit World. Back then, the Spirit Faith World was still the Azure Faith World and the Spirit Emptiness World was ready to invade us. Our Azure Faith, Azure Roaming, and Azure Intellect Worlds could only gather together to resist the invasion. In order to destroy the ambitions of the Spirit Emptiness World, all 3 of us chose to work together to push a world to a Spirit World in order to fight back. The Azure Roaming World and Azure Intellect World were weaker back then, and we chose to give up a portion of our world origin to the Azure Faith World. After the Azure Faith World became the Spirit Faith World, all 3 worlds managed to join hands to defeat the Spirit Emptiness World. After close to a hundred years, we managed to completely destroy them!”

“After it was done, the Spirit Faith World managed to grab the most benefits. Even though the Azure Worlds managed to gain a little, we barely managed to make up for the lost world origin we sacrificed. After the Spirit Faith World continued to grow stronger, they started to take the usual path of annexing our worlds. Even though they couldn’t use force due to the oath they made in the past, they managed to make it such that experts of the Azure Worlds had to ascend through the Elysium Gates. They continuously suck away the essence of the worlds in a clear attempt to devour them.” Yun Hu concluded.

No matter how much Yun Hu wanted to simplify his explanation, throughout the process, his emotions were thrown into the mix no matter how hard he tried to suppress them.

Of course, there were many inconsistencies and mysteries to begin with. For example, how were the Elysium Gates built and maintained… After the experts of the Azure Worlds ascended to the Spirit Faith World, how were they not rejected by the World’s Will and could maintain their full combat strength?

However, Shang Xia knew that that specific secret was related to the highest-level secrets of the Three Worlds and there was no way Yun Hu would reveal it.

The maple tree forest rustled under the breeze of the evening and it was as though the True Immortals were never there. The only thing left was the orange glow of the setting sun.

In an unassuming village not too far from Tonggu City lay a secret courtyard Zhu Honglin built for himself. Now, it has become Shang Xia’s residence.

After negotiating with Yun Hu, Shang Xia couldn’t help but admit that he met his match.

Of course, it wasn’t as though he would stand to make a loss. It was just that his gains would be reduced after Yun Hu made countless counter-proposals.

Originally, Shan Xia wanted to get a rank six advancement formula from Yun Hu, but Yun Hu only agreed to hand over a complete rank six martial inheritance called the Twin Fusion Imprint.

Shang Xia studied it casually and understood that it was indeed a rank six martial inheritance. However, it possessed pretty average strength. It was far from comparable to his Six Harmony Rod Technique.

That wasn’t all. The Twin Fusion Imprint couldn’t be cultivated to a high level. The Twin Fusion represented the level of Inner Fusion and External Unity which corresponded to the second and third tiers of the Martial Void Realm.

With Shang Xia expressing his displeasure several times after obtaining the technique, he managed to get 2 different rank six spiritual treasures from the old man. The first was rank six Deep Metal that could only be found in the Spirit Faith World. The other was a bundle of Spiritual Emptiness Silk that was obtained from the once-destroyed Spirit Emptiness World.

That wasn’t all. Shang Xia also managed to get his hands on a rank six talisman inheritance. It also came from the destroyed Spirit Emptiness World, and it was called the True Space Restriction Palm Talisman. It sounded like a martial inheritance, but after looking through it, Shang Xia knew that it was definitely a rank six talisman inheritance. Moreover, it was one with offensive capabilities.

The moment it was activated, it would affect the target’s domain. It would destroy the space around it to weaken the target’s combat strength.

After Shang Xia’s evaluation, he understood that the talisman would only be effective against first tier and second tier True Immortals. The moment they ran into a third tier True Immortal at the level of External Unity whose Void Origin had already fused with the power of the world around them, the talisman would fail to bring about great effects. If it was used against a fourth tier True Immortal who reached the level of Dao Harmony… It was probably going to be completely useless.

Whatever it was, the True Space Restriction Palm Talisman was still the only offensive type talisman Shang Xia had in the sixth rank.

…

In the forest, Shang Xia and Yun Hu agreed on a plan to kill Gu Chengwu and Shang Xia didn’t waste time. He went to hide in the courtyard in order to start crafting talismans.

Other than the Silver Branch Star Splendor Brush, Shang Xia also had 15 sheets of rank six talisman paper and several pieces of leftover rank six talisman ink sticks. They were perfect tools to craft rank six talismans and he would also be able to use it for the upcoming battle.

After 5 days of careful contemplation, Shang Xia gained a slight understanding of the inheritance.

For a powerful Talisman Grandmaster like Shang Xia, he could tell that the True Space Restriction Palm Talisman was a lot less complicated than his Six Harmony Teleportation Talisman. It couldn’t even be compared to Tong Yutang’s secret Formation Talisman.

With the experience of crafting such complicated talismans, Shang Xia felt a strange sense of control when he looked at the rank six talisman inheritance before him. However, he knew that it was a mere illusion. If he placed blind trust in himself, he would probably be given a rude awakening when attempting to craft the True Space Restriction Palm Talisman.

… No matter how careful he was, Shang Xia still failed twice when crafting the talisman for the first time. He only succeeded on his third attempt.
