Chapter 1113: We Can Do it Anytime

Zhu Honglin quickly snapped back to reality and asked, “What is True Immortal Shang’s next command?”

Sun Haiwei nodded slightly after seeing his reaction and continued, “Our world’s goal is to devour the Mo Continent and the 3 continents surrounding it. We managed to take down Tonggu City with your help, and it won’t be suitable for you to continue living on the Spirit Faith World after this...”

After she spoke, Sun Haiwei paused for a second before glancing at Zhu Honglin without him noticing. She could see that he had heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her consideration.

She eventually continued, “True Immortal Shang’s intention is for you to bring your Chilin Gang over to our Spirit Luxuriant World in our Star Ships. Even though the cultivators under you won’t be able to enter our world due to the World’s Will suppression, we have a lot of establishments outside the heavenly screen. Your gang can set yourselves up there and we might need your assistance in the future... Leader Zhu, what do you say?”

Zhu Honglin agreed immediately. “Of course I am! I will listen to your arrangement when the time comes!”

Sun Haiwei grunted once and nodded her head as though she already expected his answer. “Next, we need to control the Mo Continent. There are a lot of areas where we need your help. Please assist us in chasing the various factions to the edge of the continent if they are unwilling to submit to us and if there are some really stubborn ones, we will have no choice but to make a move to deal with them. If ordinary mortals are unwilling to leave with us, they can also take their leave. Whatever it is, we should avoid killing unless absolutely necessary!”

Zhu Honglin cupped his fists and expressed his understanding.

She didn’t seem to notice his actions as she continued to mutter to herself, “It’s a shame we can’t easily replicate the method the Spirit Faith World used to assimilate the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World. Otherwise, we would be able to bring more experts over to our side...”

Zhu Honglin frowned in response. “Instructor Sun, the assimilation of the worlds is the highest secret of the Spirit Faith World. Only True Immortals of the great Elysiums would know a thing or two. However, Gu Chengwu was slain when the Guyuan Elysium was destroyed back then...”

“Leader Zhu, there’s no need to worry. I was only talking to myself...” Sun Haiwei laughed softly in response.

...

“True Immortal Shang, your method of easily avoiding the suppression of the World’s Will truly amazes me...” True Immortal Zhu looked at Shang Xia who had found him and discovered the aura of a Martial Dipper Realm expert on him and gasped. His emotions were complicated as he discovered that Shang Xia looked and felt exactly like a cultivator of the Spirit Faith World! However, he quickly regained his composure and asked, “Why didn’t you go to where the Guyuan Sect is in order to prevent anyone from going crazy from desperation? Why are you here?”

After Shang Xia wriggled his way through the heavenly screen, the first place he went was obviously the Mo Continent and the continents surrounding it. After not feeling the trace of any True Immortals, he decided to pass through the void storm to arrive at the 9 western continents the Ascendant Faction planned to take away and devour before looking for True Immortal Zhu.

Other than the 3 Elysium True Immortals of the Ascendant Faction, Yun Hu, Hong Miao, True Immortal Zhu, and True Immortal Luo, were in charge of the 9 continents!

The reason was simple. They became True Immortals after entering the Spirit Faith World, and those 9 continents were where they drew on the essence world to advance.

They were also unable to return to the Azure Worlds for the time being as they had to prevent the True Immortals of the Native Faction from trying anything funny. Also, if they forced their way back, they would have to pay a certain price. After all, they ascended with the assistance of those continents and they would face a certain level of restraint after returning to their worlds.

In order to prevent that from happening, they would have to fully assimilate those continents into their worlds!

That was also why they chose to split the 9 western continents away the moment they started their rebellion!

Moreover, those were the rewards they deserved... Those 9 continents came from the Spirit Emptiness World in the first place, and the Azure Worlds were supposed to get them back then!

... Of course, that was what they said anyway.

Shang Xia chuckled in response and he didn’t seem to mind the way True Immortal Zhu was grumbling. He mumbled, “Actually, I have something I wish to ask you.”

“Oh? What is it?” True Immortal Zhu replied calmly.

Maybe it was because the 9 western continents splitting off from the Spirit Faith World were already set in stone, or perhaps they only sent 4 True Immortals... The Native Faction and the Ascendant Faction felt that the Spirit Luxuriant World was nothing more than a bunch of weaklings. As such, True Immortal Zhu was no longer as polite to Shang Xia as the time they were fighting Lan Zhengfeng.

Shang Xia wasn’t surprised by their change in attitude. He didn’t say anything about it either. Instead, he chuckled, “It’s related to the connection between the worlds using Elysium Gates that allows all of you to not be suppressed by the World’s Will in each other’s worlds.”

True Immortal Zhu muttered, “True Immortal Shang, don’t you already know? The Azure Roaming World and Azure Intellect World sacrificed 3 Elysiums in order to form the connection. That’s how we achieved it. However, only experts from Azure Worlds would head over to the Spirit Faith World during ascension. As members of a superior world, the cultivators of the Spirit Faith World wouldn’t head to the Azure Worlds.”

The smile on Shang Xia’s face faded and he slowly continued, “Is there really a need to brush me off like that? If the system established by the Spirit Faith World was really so simple, is there really a need for me to come all the way here to ask you about it?”

True Immortal Zhu noticed the change in Shang Xia’s tone and he revealed a reluctant expression. He couldn’t help but mutter, “This... It’s not that I’m trying to hide it from you. However, the True Immortals who established the system of the Elysium Gates would never be willing to reveal the secrets behind it. Even though our Ascendant Faction has already split off from the Spirit Faith World, the agreement we had back then isn’t completely useless...”

He couldn’t help but add, “True Immortal Shang, there’s no need to go around asking the others either. No one will say anything about it. I hope you won’t make things difficult for me either. Unless you have the approval from every single True Immortal from both factions to reveal this matter...”

“Farewell.” Shang Xia didn’t wait for True Immortal Zhu to finish speaking before he cupped his fists and turned to leave.

Before Shang Xia disappeared into a spatial gate he created, he turned to True Immortal Zhu and snorted softly. “Of the 9 western continents that have been split up by your Azure Worlds... Are you really so sure you will be able to devour them and ascend into a Spirit World?”

True Immortal Zhu stared at Shang Xia’s leaving future, and his expression was overcast.

It was then that True Immortal Luo appeared behind him. “True Immortal Chi sent news that the Void Overlooking Elysium and Flourishing Dao Elysium are speeding up the process. It’s said that Yun Hu and Hong Miao have already entered their Elysiums to provide assistance.”

True Immortal Zhu had already calmed down and he simply grunted once before mumbling casually, “We should also start then. After all, our world only has a single Carefree Elysium and it won’t be too good if we fall too far behind.”

True Immortal Zhu from the Spirit Roaming World quickly flew back into the Elysium of their world and True Immortal Luo behind him hesitated slightly. He eventually stuttered, “Brother Zhu, What if... What if we fail to ascend into a Spirit World?”

True Immortal Zhu didn’t turn his head as he replied, “Even though the Ascension System was built on the basis of our Three Worlds, do you really think that these worlds are the only ones who are capable of sustaining a system like that?”

True Immortal Luo quickly followed behind True Immortal Zhu and he continued in a low voice, “Brother Zhu, do you mean... To target those Barbaric Worlds?”

“From the time we discovered the first Barbaric World in the sea of stars and drew the peak-grade Martial Extermination Realm experts of their world over to ours with our Star Ships, the Ascension System no longer consisted of the Spirit Faith World, Azure Intellect World, and our Azure Roaming World. The Three Worlds we refer to ourselves as actually consist of Spirit Worlds, Azure Worlds, and Barbaric Worlds!” True Immortal Zhu snorted coldly.

Their figures in the sea of stars became even more blurry, but True Immortal Zhu’s voice rang clearly through space. “Even though the Spirit Faith World still has 4 Elysiums, of the 4 True Immortals they have left, 3 of them are Elysium True Immortals. Lan Zhengfeng might be strong, but can he really fight with the injuries he suffered?”

“There’s also Yun Hu of the Azure Intellect World. His injuries are pretty much comparable to Lan Zhengfeng. Ignoring Ling Ku of the Void Overlooking Sect and Qiu Qi of the Flourishing Dao Sect, Hong Miao is the only person who possesses considerable fighting capabilities!”

“Our Spirit Roamin World is unlike any of them! We still have 3 True Immortals, and 2 of us are Free True Immortals. We should be able to recover soon and we are the ones with the greatest amount of combat prowess. This is our best chance!”

“Because of how I brushed True Immortal Shang off earlier, I’m afraid they might have formed some grudges. From the strength they displayed, they will most likely retreat after grabbing the 4 continents the Guyuan Sect once controlled. Once they leave, our chance will come. It’s our best chance to devour the Barbaric Worlds and ensure our world ascension!”

“If we miss this chance and allow Lan Zhengfeng and Yun Hu to recover... No. even if they restore just a good portion of their strength, we’ll only be able to pick up scraps behind them. We won’t be able to gain the most out of this!”

...

After being stonewalled by True Immortal Zhu, Shang Xia didn’t run to the other True Immortals of the Ascendant Faction to try to get an answer. Instead, he passed through the void storm again to return to the 4 continents once controlled by the Guyuan Sect.

However, he didn’t stay for long. After looking around a little, he discovered that the Spirit Faith World had already gathered their forces to attack the 3 outer continents.

More than 70 percent of the Spirit Luxuriant World’s fleet had already gathered at the borders to stop the experts of the Spirit Faith World from succeeding.

Shang Xia also discovered that there were many mid to high-level experts of the Spirit Faith World continuously making their way over...

From how fast the Spirit Faith World reacted, Shang Xia could see the fruits of their development after they exterminated the Spirit Emptiness World back then. Even though they suffered a massive rebellion, there were still many mid to high-level experts in the various sects! The number far surpassed anything the Spirit Luxuriant World could bring out. At the very least, they far surpassed the experts the Spirit Luxuriant World sent.

If things were to continue and drag out a little more, the losses the Spirit Luxuriant World would suffer would increase. It would also become difficult to reap the spoils of the battle!

Shang Xia patrolled the 4 continents and even though he didn’t make a move, he could feel the hostile intentions coming from True Immortals from the other parts of the Spirit Faith World.

... Eventually, he reappeared above the heavenly screen and met up with Kou Chongxue and the rest. He didn’t wait for them and said, “We need to hasten our progress. If we mess up, the experts of the 3 worlds might come together and form an alliance. When the time comes, they might join forces to deal with us!”
