Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1289: Infiltrating the Essence Xing World?

Gao Qin had already lost to Shang Xia before, and her domain suffered some damage from the third move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique, Void Emptiness.

Next, she was caught off guard by Kou Chongxue and lost an arm.

Even though recovering a severed limb was nothing much for experts at that level but waiting for it to grow back, the time required would be a massive problem. How could an arm that had been severed by another high-level True Immortal grow back so easily?

In order to get rid of Kou Chongxue’s remnant sword qi from her wounds, she would already need to use up a large amount of energy. In fact, her foundations would most likely be harmed when cleaning up her wounds to not leave any hidden injuries so that she could grow her arm back!

After suffering at the hands of both Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue, they estimated that she would need at least 5 years in order to return to her peak state.

Well… That was if they didn’t consider the use of any heavenly treasures to hasten her recovery…

Whatever it was, Star Beast Nest No.1 would remain safe for a period of time.

Even if the Essence Ming World sent another high-level True Immortal to take over Gao Qin’s responsibilities, they wouldn’t easily make a move on the Star Beast Nest considering the fact that the Spirit Luxuriant World already had 2 high-level True Immortals. The losses would greatly outweigh their gains!

With the time they gained, Shang Xia felt that his plan to infiltrate the Essence Xing Would could finally be carried out.

Perhaps understanding how determined Shang Xia was, Kou Chongxue didn’t try to stop him. Instead, Shang Xia was the one getting cold feet. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to return for a long time and that the various worlds connected to the Star Origin Dao Field would experience another wave of change.

“Has there been news of the Star Origin Dao Field? Did Feng Ziying say anything?” Shang Xia asked Kou Chongxue.

With a soft chuckle, Kou Chongxue explained, “The Star Origin Dao Field concentrated all their energy onto the restructuring of the Star Origin Guards. Other than that, they have been keeping a low profile. Even the frequent patrols they had been sending out in the past stopped. I heard that their criteria to become a Star Origin Guard is extremely strict now, only choosing those in the Martial Dipper Realm or higher.”

Shang Xia fell deep into thought after hearing what he said. Eventually, he mumbled, “From the looks of it, before the restructuring of the Star Origin Guards is complete, the Star Origin Dao Field will probably keep their head down.”

Kou Chongxue nodded in agreement before giving Shang Xia another piece of news. “From what Feng Ziying reported, the Star Robes prepared for the new batch of Star Origin Guards are different from the original ones…”

Shang Xia grunted once and revealed a look of interest while muttering to himself, “I wonder what’s the difference? Can Senior Feng bring us some samples to play with?”

“Heh… What do you think?” Kou Chongxue snorted instantly.

“Hehehe… I’m just saying…” Shang Xia chuckled with amusement. However, he seemed to have thought of something else and he quickly added, “Do you think the new Star Robes have anything to do with their requirement for all Star Origin Guards to be at the Martial Dipper Realm?”

“Do you mean to say that there are problems with the new Star Robes and the weaknesses have to be covered up by their cultivation level? It’s not impossible…” Kou Chongxue frowned.

Shang Xia continued, “It would be best if we could obtain a set of the new Star Robes to make a better comparison.”

This time, Kou Chongxue said nothing. Actually, if they were talking about familiarity with the Star Robes, Shang Xia might know more than Feng Ziying, a ‘legitimate’ Camp Commander.

“What about news of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World?” Shang Xia continued to ask. Since he wished to infiltrate the Essence Xing World, he had to ensure the safety of the Spirit Luxuriant World before he left.

Shaking his head, Kou Chongxue sighed, “We know too little about these worlds. Even though we have already sent our members in, we are still trying to form a proper intelligence channel. Everything we can come into contact with is merely superficial information anyone can obtain. We even used multiple Five Element Teleportation Talismans to send out spies in…”

After thinking for some time, Shang Xia changed his direction of questioning. “What about the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World? Do they have news of the 2 great Spirit Worlds?”

“The Spirit Thistle World sent news that the 2 great Spirit Worlds are licking their wounds, and they are restrained by the Star Origin Dao Field. The Spirit Tinkle World might have lost several continents, but it’s not like the 2 great Spirit Worlds didn’t suffer any losses. Actually, they seem to be preparing something big…” Kou Chongxue sighed before he continued, “The Spirit Tinkle World sent over a more detailed report that the 2 great Spirit Worlds created more spatial tunnels out of their world. Something might have happened when they recalled so many high-level True Immortals to attack the Spirit Tinkle World. Actually, they might have been invaded and their high-level True Immortals are handling the problem…”

Shang Xia raised an eyebrow and seemed to think of something, and Kou Chongxue couldn’t help but ask, “Did you think of something?”

Shang Xia eventually voiced his concerns, “Like how we created spatial tunnels to the Star Beast Nests we controlled back then… I’m sure the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World also control Star Beast Nests of their own. How many do they have? In the past, the various worlds had high-level True Immortals to defend those Star Beast Nests, but the Spirit Tinkle World lost 3 high-level True Immortals in the war. Wouldn’t their Star beast Nest run into some problems?”

Kou Chongxue shook his head in response. “They might have other methods to deal with it. At the very least, from what the Spirit Thistle World said, the Spirit Tinkle World produced 3 new True Immortals even after losing 6 continents. They have a total of 12 True Immortals right now and they’re on par with us in terms of the number of True Immortals. The distribution of their strength is also much more balanced than ours. At the very least, they have more second and third tier True Immortals…”

“How did they produce so many True Immortals so quickly? That’s 6 continents they lost…” Shang Xia frowned.

Kou Chongxue explained, “Actually, they managed to recover 2 continents worth of land and True Immortal Ban probably established new continents with them. They would be able to be quickly replenished with world origin by the World’s Will, considering they were fragments of the world in the first place. It’s like how you provided Sun Haiwei and Ge Qingzhu world origin for the Hai Continent… Also, with their long history, do you think they won’t be able to produce several rank six advancement medicines?”

“Yeah…” Shang Xia frowned but agreed with Kou Chongxue. Eventually, he nodded and said, “In that case, I can leave for some time without worrying about things here.”
