Splitting the Heavens - Chapter 1309: Coming In Clutch
The sudden change in Ge Qingzhu’s breakthrough alerted Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue.
Kou Chongxue appeared above the You Continent to stand beside Shang Xia while looking in the direction of the Bing Continent. He asked, “What’s the matter?”
Shaking his head, Shang Xia mumbled, “No clue, it happened too suddenly. I don’t know what’s happening yet.”
“Did someone mess with him?” Kou Chongxue asked again.
“The World Origin Source connected to the Bing Continent had always been under my supervision. No one in our Spirit Luxuriant World has the ability to plot against him.” Shang Xia continued to shake his head.
Soon after, he sighed softly, “I’m afraid Instructor Ge himself might be unlucky…”
Kou Chongxue could only sigh in defeat.
Actually, both of them knew that successfully advancing into the Martial Void Realm was really rare. Usually, anyone who tried would run into some sort of problem.
It would be strange if everything went smoothly. Like when Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue broke through to become True Immortals… The situation was even more strange!
In order to push Sun Haiwei and Ge Qingzhu into the Martial Void Realm, the Tongyou Institution made a lot of preparations. The price they paid was astronomically high. If Ge Qingzhu’s attempt ended in failure, they might say that it could have been expected, but it would be difficult to stomach the loss nonetheless.
“Can we continue to strengthen the World Origin Source connected to the Bing Continent? If so…”
Before Kou Chongxue could finish, Shang Xia already knew what he wanted to say. He shook his head and mumbled, “The Bing Continent has already surpassed the 10,000 mile mark and the World Origin Source connected to it is already at a state of abundance. It’s the best we can get for an initial breakthrough to the Martial Void Realm. Even if we increase the size of the continent by several thousand miles, it will only be beneficial to a high-level True Immortal. As for the World Origin Source… His best chance to advance is when the integration of the world fragment. If I make a move now and stabilize the World Origin Source before trying to expand it a little more, it will only harm him…”
“Everything we could have done to assist his breakthrough had to be done before. The moment the process started, he could only rely on himself…” Shang Xia concluded.
Kou Chongxue sounded rather regretful as he mumbled, “Is there really no other way? No matter what, he was pretty lucky. He ran into many dangers during his cultivation, but he dealt with them every single time. If he dies here… It will be such a pity.”
Shang Xia shot Kou Chongxue a strange gaze in response. “Old man, you seem to have unrealistically high expectations of everyone in the institution… How exaggerated are your expectations to think that everyone should be a Free True Immortal? Have you forgotten that our Elysium is still lacking an Elysium True Immortal and we have to place a clone back there whenever we leave?”
With his eyes widening slightly, Kou Chongxue quickly snapped back to reality. He slapped his forehead and yelled, “Right, I’m getting old and senile! What are we waiting for? Hurry up and pull his soul back from the World Origin Source connected to the Bing Continent!”
Ge Qingzhu might have tried to use the spirituality of the Bing Continent to try to ascend, and the Tongyou Elysium might have been located in the You Continent. However, an Elysium was like an individual region of space that was stuck to the world itself and was connected to the World Origin Source. Even though the World Origin Source was also connected to the rest of the continents, those were mere connections. The World Origin Source was a giant sea, interconnected to each other, and as such, the Tongyou Elysium could be said to be connected to the World Origin Source of the Bing Continent in a way.
Ge Qingzhu might be a little unlucky when breaking through, and his attempt at branding his soul into the world by relying on the spirituality of the Bing Continent might end in failure, but he was going to blame anyone for it.
Of course… He knew that with Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia watching over him, they wouldn’t let him die without trying some way to save him. He didn’t expect them to be able to help him much, but that was before he realized that Shang Xia had stepped into the level of Returning to the Origin.
With Shang Xia’s cultivation level, he could greatly influence the World’s Will and the World Origin Source! Of course, his powerful soul was also a very important factor when it came to his influence over the World Origin Source.
If any other fifth tier True Immortal were to take his place, it might be difficult for them to drag Ge Qingzhu’s soul from the World Origin Source connected to the Bing Continent back to the You Continent, and then back into the Tongyou Elysium.
When he tried… Shang Xia discovered it was actually pretty easy! That would also mean that Ge Qingzhu would be able to become a True Immortal, just that he would be chained to the Tongyou Elysium forever.
Whatever it was, that point alone showed that Ge Qingzhu’s luck was still off the charts! No matter what, he still became a True Immortal.
The process that followed was pretty uneventful. Shang Xia managed to protect Ge Qingzhu’s soul while bringing it back to the Tongyou Elysium, and Ge Qingzhu didn’t let him down. After he returned, he successfully made use of the spirituality of the Elysium to become a True Immortal, allowing them to finally possess their very own Elysium True Immortal!
With that, the 4th True Immortal of the Tongyou Institution was born. He was also the 15th True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World.
If the Northern Sea Mystic Sect had a record for nurturing 4 True Immortals in total, the Tongyou Institution had already caught up to them! Moreover, 2 of the 4 True Immortals of the Tongyou Institution were also high-level True Immortals, who were also the only high-level True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World.
The Spirit Luxuriant World was completely shocked and awed by the Tongyou Institution’s achievements.
Despite every single expert realizing what the Tongyou Institution was about to do when Sun Haiwei started her breakthrough and Kou Chongxue started to split up the world fragment, they were still shocked when they witnessed how the Tongyou Institution actually pulled it off!
They produced 2 True Immortals in one go, with a 0 percent chance of failure!
Even though the process of Ge Qingzhu’s advancement didn’t go smoothly, he successfully became an Elysium True Immortal. There was no need for the high-level True Immortals to be worried that their Elysium would be infiltrated when they were away, and for the Tongyou Institution’s inheritance to reach its end.
Be it Sun Haiwei and Ge Qingzhu’s luck, achievement, or the massive support they received from their faction… Every single expert who had plans to attack the bottleneck to become True Immortals felt extremely jealous of them.
Many of them even had strange thoughts forming in their minds.
If only I could receive the same support from Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia… I would definitely be able to…
If the rest of the world were shocked by the Tongyou Institution’s achievement of producing 2 True Immortals at once, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World were more focused on the Tongyou Institution’s actions of bringing the Hai Continent, the Bing Continent, and Ji Continent to a state of perfection.
That wasn’t all. Other than the 3 continents, the Liao Continent had also increased its landmass from 7,000 miles to 9,000 miles. It was a single step away from reaching a state of perfection. The Yan Continent had also expanded to 7,500 miles and managed to greatly strengthen the World Origin Source connected to it.
The expansion of the continents was what the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World valued. After all, that represented the growth of the world!
Along with the growth of many continents and the descent of the World’s Will blessing, many experts who took part in the operation would experience a period of growth.
At the same time, with Sun Haiwei relying on the spirituality of the Hai Continent and Ge Qingzhu using the Tongyou Institution, that would mean the institution still had the Bing Continent and Ji Continent if they wished to produce more True Immortals in the future!
