Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1103: Breaking Off

Was the Native Faction really kept in the dark about the Ascendant Faction’s plots and intentions?

Clearly not…

Regardless of the animosity between the members of the Ascendant Faction and the Native Faction, or the fact that the Ascendant Faction would sometimes make some moves in order to sow discord… The high-level experts of the Native Faction could more or less detect their intentions.

They might have been silent the entire time or might have chosen to appease members of the Ascendant Faction occasionally because they felt that they had absolute confidence in themselves. However, the true reason was actually because of how important the Azure Worlds were… The Native Faction couldn’t reach a decision easily to take action for fear of getting rid of their golden goose.

The longer they dragged it out, the greater the exchange of world origin between the worlds. As a Spirit World, their world origin and World’s Will were much stronger than the others. The longer they interacted with each other, the greater the suppression and degree of assimilation. When the state of fusion passed the critical point, even if the experts of the Ascendant Faction wanted to split off, their worlds wouldn’t support them!

However… The members of the Native Faction clearly didn’t expect the Ascendant Faction to take action so decisively. They also never expected the Spirit Luxuriant World, who appeared not too long ago, to reach an alliance with the members of the Ascendant Faction so quickly.

…

When Lan Zhengfeng was making his retreat, he sent out a secret transmission to the members of the Native Faction and Zuo Daokui, an Elysium True Immortal of the Fengyuan Sect received it.

When Zuo Daokui tried to relay the message to Yan Huayi, the first reaction of the strongest expert in the Spirit Faith World was disbelief.

Only after verifying the transmission sent by Lan Zhengfeng did he accept the fact that Yan Wujiu had been slain. He finally took the Ascendant Faction’s actions seriously and noted their alliance with the Spirit Luxuriant World. He also learned that Lan Zhengfeng had been injured by Shang Xia and True Immortal Zhu.

Finally reaching a conclusion, Yan Huayi felt the humiliation of being messed with. The pain of Yan Wujiu’s death also struck him, causing endless rage to burn in his heart.

“How dare they… HOW DARE THEY!”

The Heavenly Feather Elysium was unable to withstand the rage of a fourth tier True Immortal and his aura immediately tore through the shackles of the Elysium to reach the heavenly screen. It actually covered a quarter of the Spirit Faith World in an instant.

“Yun Hu, Meng Han, get the fuck over here!” A deafening roar filled the Spirit Faith World, Azure Intellect World, and Azure Roaming World. Clouds beneath the heavenly screen rolled about as every single expert in the Three Worlds were shocked by the sudden yell.

The experts of the Azure Worlds who formed the Ascendant Faction seemed to understand what was happening when they heard Yan Huayi’s yell and they immediately prepared for battle.

Most of the mid to high-level experts of the Spirit Faith World who made up the Native Faction looked at each other in shock, not realizing what had happened. Only a portion of them raised their guards immediately and discovered that something was wrong.

It didn’t matter if they had made preparations long ago, or were caught off guard… All of them understood that they better not make any rash moves until the True Immortals made the division.

After all… They were the only ones who could decide the fate of the Three Worlds.

“Hahahaha…” Laughter came from the void as Yun Hu’s voice rang through a good half of the Spirit Faith World.

“True Immortal Yan, why can’t you speak properly? What’s the point of spewing vulgarities and alerting everyone?” Yun Hu replied.

His voice rang through the 9 continents in the western region of the Spirit Faith World.

It wasn’t as though he couldn’t project his voice like Yan Huayi. Instead, he was intentionally restraining himself.

Making the proper calculations, the Spirit Faith World had 22 continents! One had to know that a world had to possess 18 continents to barely gain the qualification to become a Spirit World. They needed 24 continents to reach their peak state.

Of course, it wasn’t a matter of sheer numbers. Every single continent had to span more than 10,000 miles! Moreover, the power of the continent, the energy and essence qi it contained had to reach a certain level. The strength of the True Immortal who advanced from it also needed to reach a certain standard… Only then would the world reach a near-perfect state!

Taking the Spirit Luxuriant World as an example… They looked like they had 23 continents, but a good portion of them had only barely upgraded to the standard of a Spirit World. The only ones that reached the level of perfection were the Jiao Continent which Kou Chongxue relied on to advance, the Yong Continent which housed the Eternal Palace and Divine Capital Sect, and the Northern Sea Continent where the Northern Sea Mystic Sect reigned supreme.

At the very least, those 3 continents had surpassed the requirements. The Jing Continent where the Yuanchen Sect established itself was also close to reaching that level.

Other than those continents, even Shang Xia’s You Continent barely reached 8000 miles across. However, the density of essence qi in the You Continent was impressive, and with Shang Xia and the Tongyou Institution’s constant nurturing, they would be able to reach the next level soon.

Other than those continents… The others barely reached the standard suitable for a Spirit World. As for the Bing and Liang Continents which stood at the extreme ends of the original Azure Spiritual World, they were in such bad shape that they couldn’t be considered a continent fit for a Spirit World.

From that point alone, it was also clear that the Spirit Faith World had stronger foundations than the Spirit Luxuriant World. At the very least, the Spirit Luxuriant World’s 22 continents had already surpassed the lowest requirements of a Spirit World and they had 6 continents that reached the perfection stage.

Among the 9 continents that Yun Hu projected his voice across, 2 of them were at a state of perfection. There were another 2 that were close.

According to the original plan of the Native Faction when they formed an alliance to resist the Spirit Emptiness World, their worlds would perfectly fuse together, and the Spirit Faith World would not only gain an additional 24 continents from the Azure Worlds, they would also be able to greatly strengthen various other continents, allowing the number of perfected continents to double at the very least…

However, the Ascendant Faction was clearly unwilling to follow through. With their resistance, the perfect plan that had been created went up in smoke.

“Why! Why are you doing this?!” Yan Huayi couldn’t understand their way of thinking. To him, the fusion of their worlds was something that would greatly benefit all of them. As for the sense of separation they felt because of their different origins, everything would disappear in due time! After tens, or even hundreds of years, there would be only a single Spirit Faith World! There would no longer be an Ascendant Faction or Native Faction! All of them would be cultivators of the Spirit Faith World!

They had been plotting the fusion of their worlds for close to a hundred years, and the process was just about to reach its critical stage. He didn’t understand why they would interfere at that very moment!

What was more… The fusion of the worlds also concerned Yan Huayi’s breakthrough to the fifth tier of the Martial Void Realm! He wouldn’t allow anyone to spoil their plans.
