Chapter 1125: The Perfected Continents and Power Structure of the World

“Do you need me to give you some more time so that you can come up with your third move in your Six Harmony Rod Technique before we set off?” Kou Chongxue snorted.

By the time Shang Xia left seclusion, it was already the latter half of the 13th year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar.

It was clear that Kou Chongxue was feeling a little annoyed by how long Shang Xia had been crafting talismans. After all, Shang Xia didn’t give him a good estimate of how long he needed to wait back then. His attention was quickly shifted away when Shang Xia handed 2 Six Harmony Teleportation Talismans and an Abyss Prison Emptiness Talisman over.

After leaving behind a clone each to watch the Tongyou Institution, they left the Spirit Luxuriant World sneakily. They didn’t alarm anyone when they disappeared.

With their cultivation realms reaching the third tier of the Martial Void Realm, they were the only ones at that level who weren’t shackled to their Elysiums. No one in the Spirit Luxuriant World could discover their tracks.

In the void outside the heavenly screen, Shang Xia intentionally slowed down to look at the Spirit Luxuriant World behind him.

He saw that the defense system that comprised many formations had been fully constructed. After taking on the mysterious strike back then, a good portion of them had been burned to nothingness. As a result, their progress was stalled.

However, what moved Shang Xia was the expansion of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Their heavenly screen grew even wider, and they would have to expand their defense system along with it.

Fortunately, their defense system hadn’t been fully built. The Formation Grandmasters of the Spirit Luxuriant World were working together and refining the blueprint of enlarging their formations and defenses.

Looking back at the world itself, Shang Xia could see that the spiritual light emitted by the heavenly screen had surpassed what it was in the past.

Tsk, tsk...

Shang Xia clicked his tongue before asking Kou Chongxue who was standing beside him at the moment, “Patriarch Kou, after we integrated the continents, how many continents managed to grow larger than 10,000 miles?"

Kou Chongxue was no fool. He knew that Shang Xia didn’t just mean a pure land area of more than 10,000 miles. He wanted to know how many continents reached the state of perfection.

After all, continents like that would allow cultivators who relied on them to advance into the Martial Void Realm to possess the qualification to go further on their path of cultivation.

Pressing his lips together, he muttered, “The continents that reached the state of perfection a long time ago are the Northern Sea Continent and Yong Continent. After so long, the Jing Continent, Jiao Continent, and our You Continents have also reached the same level.

Shang Xia couldn’t help but sigh, “Our Spirit Luxuriant World has 23 continents, but only 5 of them reached the level of perfection. We can’t even compare to the Spirit Faith World we plundered! Looks like there’s a long road ahead...”

Looking at Shang Xia who was sighing like an old man, Kou Chongxue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Damn kid, why are you taking the words out of my mouth? Is this something a youngster like you should be saying?!”

Shang Xia also found it funny, but he muttered, “You should know that I not only went to the Spirit Faith World, but I also infiltrated the Spirit Abundance World back then. I have a certain understanding of peak-level Spirit Worlds. We’re far too weak compared to them...”

Kou Chongxue grunted and continued, “There’s actually several extremes when it comes to our Spirit Luxuriant World. For example, the Northern Sea Continent that had been managed by the Northern Sea Mystic Sect for close to 1000 years. Be it land mass or world origin reserves, it far surpasses any continent that reached a state of perfection.”

“Hmm... With my estimates, even if the Northern Sea Continent doesn’t harm its foundation of being a perfected continent and return a portion of their foundations to our world, we should be able to bring 2 to 3 continents to the state of perfection.”

“There’s also the Yong Continent. It houses the Eternal Palace and Divine Capital Sect, and they managed it for hundreds of years. They also plundered the spirituality of the border continents when our worlds collided back then. Their foundations might not be any weaker than the Northern Sea Continent. Conservatively, they would be able to push 2 pseudo-perfected continents to the state of perfection...”

“Actually, even our You Continent, the Jiao Continent, and the Jing Continent aren’t continents that barely reached the standard to be considered perfected continents. Be it heaven and earth qi or accumulated world origin, we are a lot stronger than the others. Taking our You Continent as an example... I believe you can feel it. Even though the size of the continent just passed the 10,000 mile mark, the density of heaven and earth qi and the world origin accumulated far surpasses the standard of a barely perfected continent. The Jiao Continent is the same. As for the Jing Continent... It’s a little more balanced. However, compared to the Northern Sea Continent and the Yong Continent, our continents are far from impressive.” Kou Chongxue concluded.

“Pseudo-perfected continents?” Shang Xia caught on to the term and asked curiously.

Kou Chongxue added, “Those are continents that are about to reach the state of perfection. For example, the Liang Continent that the Eternal Palace has been developing in recent years. The inherently superior Shu Continent is the same and so is the Yi Continent where the Heavenly Star Palace resides. There is also the Sha Continent that has been managed by the Northern Sea Mystic Sect. All 4 of them can be considered pseudo-perfected continents. The Yu and Bing Continents are also growing rapidly in recent years and might have reached that level.”

After thinking for a moment, Shang Xia asked, “It seems like the other Elysiums have already expanded into other continents and are managing them well...”

“Yes, they have. I believe you understand the reason why. It’s in preparation for their future True Immortals. There isn’t a need to mention the Ice Continent[1] at the moment. Its foundations were poor at the start, and Lu Wuzi could be said to have given it all for him to develop it into such a state. After all, he used the Northern Sea Continent when advancing.” Kou Chongxue nodded slowly.

He also added, “Right. The Divine Capital Sect is developing the Yu Continent...”

“Divine Capital Sect? How could it be them?” Shang Xia frowned. “Is the Great Observation Sect willing to allow the Divine Capital Sect to encroach on their territory?”

Kou Chongxue chuckled in response, “The Divine Capital Sect’s original target was the Bing Continent, but... Hehehe...”

Shang Xia gasped in amazement. As it turned out, the Tongyou Institution had been supporting the Five Mountains Alliance in the Bing Continent to suppress the Divine Capital Sect! In recent years, they were able to push the influence of the Divine Capital Sect all the way down south of the Bing Continent!

Seeing as there was no way to fight back due to the rapid progress of the Tongyou Institution, the Divine Capital Sect had no choice but to change their target to the Yu Continent.

Actually... The Yan Continent would be the most ideal location for the Divine Capital Sect to stretch their influence due to their close proximity.

It was a shame the Yan Continent was small and the Zhongxuan Sect had firm control over it. The moment the Divine Capital Sect tried to stretch their influence into the Yan Continent, they would face an all-out attack from the Zhongxuan Sect. Even if they won, they would have to pay a huge price to develop the Yan Continent. As such, they decided to go elsewhere.

However... Was the Yu Continent really the best choice?

One couldn’t forget that the Yu Continent was right beside the Jing Continent where the Yuanchen Sect established their dominance. They wouldn’t sit back and allow the Divine Capital Sect to do as they wished!

As one of the 3 Elysiums with the longest heritage in the Spirit Luxuriant World, the Divine Capital Sect seemed to be on the back foot in recent years. Not only were they surpassed by peak-tier combat strength by the Yuanchen Sect and Tongyou Institution, they also lost to the Eternal Palace, their old rival! After all, in terms of pure cultivation level, Yang Taihe was still the strongest expert in the Spirit Luxuriant World at the moment.

Of course... A skinny camel was still larger than a horse. The Divine Capital Sect was still one of the 5 great Elysiums of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Lu Jidao was also an existence second only to the 4 third tier True Immortals. He could be ranked the fifth strongest expert in the Spirit Luxuriant World, ahead of Liu Jingsheng who was similarly at the level of Inner Fusion!

1. Changed the name of Lu Wuzi’s continent since it has the same name as another continent and it’s going to be extremely confusing if I don’t do something ☜
