Chapter 1115: Everyone Has Their Own Schemes

Shang Xia, who was far away in the Spirit Faith World, didn’t know that the Spirit Luxuriant World gained another Martial Void Realm expert when they were out on a conquest. He also didn’t know that the newly ascended expert was a Free True Immortal!

However… Even if he knew, the 4 Free True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World didn’t have the bandwidth to think about the changes it would bring to the current situation back in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

That was because after Shang Xia left the Spirit Faith World to meet up with the others, they reached an extremely absurd conclusion that the Spirit Faith World might actually join hands with the Azure Worlds to deal with them!

“Both sides lost 6 True Immortals after their conflict and the 9 western continents had already pulled away from the Spirit Faith World. Actually, it’s almost impossible for them to join forces again if they were fighting among each other… However, with an external enemy like us, they might be able to put their differences aside…” Lu Wuzi spoke after thinking for some time.

Huang Jinghan added, “True Immortal Lu is right. Don’t forget, we’re going to take away 4 continents! We might just fall into their crosshairs! After all, the Spirit Faith World losing 13 continents at once caused them to be greatly weakened. Even though the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World devoured 9 continents, they might not be able to ascend to a Spirit World immediately. When that happens, the continents we’re aiming for might become their targets instead.”

Kou Chongxue thought for a second before he muttered, “How is our progress in the 4 continents? What is the situation like now? Are we able to stop the counterattack from the experts of the Spirit Faith World?”

“We basically already have control of the Mo Continent. Because of the preparations I made, we managed to easily take over the Mo Continent. Our progress in the other continents isn't as fast. As of right now, our fleet can still hold their own. Before I came over, the experts from the other continents were starting to pour over to the continents. They have the home-ground advantage and they have much stronger foundations than us. Even though they only have the strength of 9 continents left, their number of high-level experts far surpasses us. Also, the continents they have left contain the true essence of the Spirit Faith World…” Shang Xia explained.

Looking at Huang Jinghan and Lu Wuzi, Kou Chongxue said with a straight face, “Looks like we need to get out before the Azure Intellect World and Azure Roaming World truly leave the influence of the Spirit Faith World. Also, we need to quickly escape and leave Yan Huayi’s area of activity… From the looks of it, we will have to give up a portion of the 4 continents…”

Huang Jinghan hesitated slightly, but he eventually nodded in agreement.

Kou Chongxue also sent out several transmissions after he had spoken and informed the members of the Tongyou Institution and their allies to quickly reinforce the other continents.

When he was done, he turned to Shang Xia to ask, “Is there anything else you would like to add?”

“Right… The moment they split off from the Spirit Faith World, the Azure Intellect World, and Azure Roaming World might not be as tight as before…” Shang Xia said after a moment of contemplation.

Kou Chongxue’s interest was piqued immediately. He asked curiously, “Oh? Why would you say so?”

“The strength of both worlds is just too imbalanced. The Azure Intellect World used to have 5 True Immortals, and there’s Yun Hu, a third tier True Immortal! They are leagues ahead of the Azure Roaming World. The Azure Intellect World lost a first tier True Immortal, Yu Long, while the Azure Roaming World lost a second tier True Immortal, Meng Han! The gap between their strength is just too wide!” Shang Xia explained. He also continued, “Originally, the Azure Intellect World had 5 True Immortals, and other than Yun Hu, the other 4 were first tier True Immortals. 2 of them were even Elysium True Immortals! The Azure Roaming World had 4 True Immortals, and other than a single first tier Elysium True Immortal, the others were in the second tier. They had the ability to contend against Yun Hu. However, the situation changed after the rebellion. The only second tier True Immortal left is True Immortal Zhu, and even if the Azure Intellect World chooses not to do anything, the members of the Azure Roaming World would choose to take precautions.”

Lu Wuzi mumbled, “But Yun Hu has already been heavily injured…”

“But he isn’t dead.” Shang Xia spoke seriously. “A third tier True Immortal like him can most likely recover if he isn’t dead. Moreover, Yun Hu isn’t shackled to an Elysium.”

Huang Jinghan seemed to understand what Shang Xia meant and he quickly added, “That’s right. There’s still Lan Zhengfeng of the Spirit Faith World and he’s also a third tier True Immortal. He is also seriously injured, but given time, he will recover.”

Lu Wuzi finally understood what they had been implying and he gasped, “Do you mean… If shit hits the fan, the experts of the Azure Roaming World might allow us to get away?”

“Maybe… Maybe we even have a chance to work together in the future.” Kou Chongxue revealed a smile that didn’t seem like one as he chuckled.

…

In the Void Overlooking Elysium of the Azure Intellect World, Ling Ku, a first tier True Immortal, stared at Yun Hu.

Yun Hu was also reading a transmission he received from god knew where. A moment later, he looked away and Ling Ku quickly asked, “Brother Yun Hu, who sent it?”

Yun Hu laughed in response before handling the transmission over. “Brother Ling, I bet you won’t expect it.”

Ling Ku quickly skimmed over the transmission before raising his head in shock. “Yan Huayi?!”

“I told you you wouldn’t expect it. He’s trying to rally us to attack the Spirit Luxuriant World!” Yun Hu chuckled.

Shaking his head, Ling Ku seemed to not be interested in the idea initially. However, he read the transmission seriously again before falling deep into contemplation.

Yun Hu noticed his reaction and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter? Are you moved?”

“He’s asking us to join forces with him after we leave the Spirit Faith World’s sphere of influence completely.” Ling Ku muttered curiously.

“Yeah.” Yun Hu laughed softly, “Once we leave the Spirit Faith World’s sphere of influence, we would have broken all contact with their World Origin Source. As long as we put enough distance between ourselves and the Spirit Faith World, even Yan Huayi wouldn’t be able to threaten us. He’s always able to negotiate in a way that invokes your consideration. It’s like how he convinced us to assist them to ascend to a Spirit World to resist the invasion.”

Ling Ku thought for some time and his expression didn’t change as he asked, “So… Should we reject?”

“Why should we? However, we need to wait for him to make the first move even if we choose to join them.” Yun Hu looked at the junior standing before him and sniggered in a strange voice.

Ling Ku couldn’t help but sigh, “Who would have expected that the Spirit Luxuriant World showed off so much back then, but only sent 4 True Immortals? From the looks of it, they aren’t as strong as we thought. It’s just that your injuries…”

Yun Hu mused, “I won’t be able to go all in and fight them directly, but if push comes to shove, I can still put my life on the line to fight.”

…

In the Azure Roaming World, True Immortal Zhu also received a transmission. He lowered it after he was done reading its contents with an expressionless face.

True Immortal Luo at the side asked, “Are we going to accept?”

True Immortal Zhu glanced at him before flicking his wrist to turn the transmission to ash.

“Are we not?!” True Immortal Luo was slightly taken aback by his actions.

Finally, a smile appeared on True Immortal Zhu’s face and he chuckled, “That’s not it, but we’re just not going to reply!”

Not understanding his meaning, True Immortal Luo couldn’t help but wonder out loud, “This…”

“Heh, are you tempted by the offer?” True Immortal Zhu joked.

Nodding seriously, True Immortal Luo mumbled, “Even if it’s just an additional continent of land, it’s a landmass that comes from a Spirit World. With the Guyuan Sect’s care over the continent for so many years, the world essence it contains should be comparable to half a Barbaric World. Perhaps, it’s our ticket to taking the final step to become a Spirit World of our own!”

He couldn’t help but sigh as he continued, “Our origin souls have been branded in the Spirit Faith World and even though we relied on one of these continents to break through, it can’t be denied that our origin soul has been branded in another world. If we are not able to successfully ascend, I’m afraid we won’t be able to return to our worlds! After all, an Azure World has its limits. Without an Elysium, the highest level of cultivation one can reach is the Martial Dipper Realm!”

“We’ll play it by ear. However, we definitely won’t be making the first move!” True Immortal Zhu finally concluded.
