Chapter 1281: The Angry Chu Jia

“What?! You wish to modify the Essence Refining Void Returning Formation?!” Chu Jia leaped into the air and yelped in shock when she heard the news from Shang Xia after she returned from Star Beast Nest No.2

Shang Xia didn’t quite understand her reaction, but he quickly explained, “The formation was used to help a third tier True Immortal break through to the fourth tier and become a high-level True Immortal. Patriarch Kou has already broken though without the formation and we don’t need it anymore. However, we can’t possibly waste the Ruined World... After all, that’s a territory closely connected to a vassal of the Essence Ming World.”

Chu Jia snapped at him the moment he spoke, “After our institution completed its rank six grand formation, there was the matter of establishing the Five Element Teleportation Formation to the Bing and Jiao Continents. Then came the Star Beast Nests... Right after, I went to Star Beast Nest No.2 to deploy a grand formation. Now, the great powers of our world requested that I build Five Element Teleportation Formations between our world, the Spirit Tinkle World, and the Spirit Thistle World. Who knows how long it will take?! Now you came back and decided to cause trouble again! What do you mean to modify the Essence Refining Void Returning Formation? Do you think I’m so free?”

Shang Xia was surprised by her sudden outburst, but he also understood why Kou Chongxue was in such a rush to leave earlier.

It was a shame Shang Xia couldn’t really put off any matter and could only pretend to comfort her, “Won’t the most capable people get the most work to do? It’s a shame the Spirit Thistle World, Spirit Tinkle World, and us can’t find 3 rank six Formation Grandmasters despite our best efforts and you’re still our best choice. You’re the only one who knows how to lay down the Five Element Teleportation Formation since you came up with it... Even if others wanted to try, they don’t have your ability to do so...”

Chu Jia snorted softly and turned her head away, no longer looking at Shang Xia.

Helpless, he didn’t know what else to say. A mighty high-level True Immortal could only stand there and watch Chu Jia pouted to herself.

It took some time for her to finally compose herself and she muttered in a cold voice, “If the Five Element Teleportation Formation is able to allow us to cross space and connect to the Spirit Tinkle World and Spirit Thistle World, do you know what effect this will bring to the many worlds connected to the Star Origin Dao Field?”

It didn’t matter if it was a teleportation formation or a spatial tunnel, it was used to facilitate communication between the various worlds.

The method to connect the various worlds had always been in the hands of the Star Origin Dao Field, and that was how they became the central hub. It allowed them to prosper while remaining detached from the other worlds.

Other than the Star Origin Dao Field, the various worlds didn’t have a way to communicate. Even if they wanted to invade other worlds, they would have to send their fleet through the chaotic space or they would require powerful Martial Void Realm experts to create spatial tunnels to send their high-level experts through.

The Star Origin Dao Field was stealing world origin from the various worlds through the spatial tunnel they set up, and that was no secret among the great Spirit Worlds. Because they needed the connection to the Star Origin Dao Field and the amount of world origin taken was so little that they chose to accept it.

However... After the War of the Spirit Tinkle World where the Star Origin Dao Field stole so much world origin to help Zhuo Gudao break through to the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm, the various worlds developed deep fear for the spatial tunnels connected to the Star Origin Dao Field.

From what Shang Xia learned, even though the various worlds didn’t completely destroy the spatial tunnels, they moved the spatial tunnel into a region of space many times further than before. They even increased their defenses around it. Most of them isolated the spatial tunnel such that cultivators were no longer able to freely enter the Star Origin Dao Field as they pleased.

Feng Ziying’s visit had many purposes and trying to win over the Spirit Luxuriant World was only 1 of them. There was another purpose and it was to request the Spirit Luxuriant World open up the spatial tunnel to allow more interaction with the Star origin Dao Field.

After all, the Star Origin Dao Field’s prosperity was built on the exchange of resources through those spatial tunnels. Be it the Star Origin Guards or Star Origin Lord Manor, they gained a lot through it...

If the Spirit Luxuriant World, Spirit Thistle World, and Spirit Tinkle World established Five Element Teleportation Formations between them, even though it was because they were forced by the circumstances, at the end of the day, they would be trying to shake the foundations of the Star Origin Dao Field.

Chu Jia naturally understood the implications...

However, Shang Xia didn’t plan to back down on this matter. He put on a serious expression and said solemnly, “It doesn’t matter what the implications are. Only with the Five Element Teleportation Formations can our worlds help each other in times of need and remain safe.”

Chu didn’t seem to care about Shang Xia’s stance on the matter but she changed the topic back to the Essence Refining Void Returning Formation. “Anyway... Who is going to be using the modified Essence Refining Void Returning Formation?”

Shang Xia grunted once and mumbled, “Patriarch Kou no longer wishes to use the formation after his advancement. Ge Qingzhu and Sun Haiwei won’t be strong enough even if they break through, so I’ll be the one to use it...”

Chu Jia nodded once in response. “Alright then. I’ll find some time to quickly complete the modification of the Essence Refining Void Returning Formation.”

“...”

...

As soon as the 21st year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar rolled around, the skies above the Liang Continent experienced a powerful heavenly phenomenon. Yifan of the Eternal Palace swallowed his advancement medicine and successfully branded his soul into the world to become a True Immortal. He became the eleventh True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World, and the Eternal Palace finally welcomed their first Free True Immortal.

Before the mysterious Yifan entered the Martial Void Realm, very few people heard of him. Clearly, he was a Martial Void Realm candidate the Eternal Palace raised in secret.

3 or so months later, the World Origin Source of the Qing Continent started to tremble and the True Immortals of the world quickly noticed the change. Even several stronger experts in the Martial Dipper Realm felt the change.

Elder Jiujing of the Spirit Capital Sect also successfully entered the Martial Void Realm with the support of Li Jidao, branding his soul into the world through the Qing Continent’s World Origin Source. He became the twelfth True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World and the first Free True Immortal of the Divine Capital Sect.

The Eternal Palace and Divine Capital Sect were situated in the Yong Continent, but they chose to rely on other continents for their breakthrough.

That wasn’t because both sides were willing to give in to each other. It was just because they wished to avoid a full-blown conflict.

Actually, the various factions of the Spirit Luxuriant World had a certain understanding of how a True Immortal was born, and all of them were waiting for the Eternal Palace and Divine Capital Sect to fall out with each other and become the laughing stock of the world.

Of course, the Tongyou Institution was a part of those who had already prepared some snacks to watch the show play out. After all, they were the ones who stopped the plan of the 2 great Elysiums by establishing the Hai Continent. The Eternal Palace and Divine Capital Sect couldn’t split up the Yong Continent like they had planned.
