Chapter 1403: New Territories, 10,000 Miles Wide! Pt.2

With the integration of the landmasses into the continent, Shang Xia left the rest up to the members of the 2 Elysiums.

After splitting off 3 fragments, more than half the world fragment was gone. He had to properly calculate what to do with the rest.

First, he chose the Liao Continent!

The Liao Continent was the Changbai Sect’s territory, and they had been a faithful ally of the Tongyou Institution. In the past, Kou Chongxue also gave them huge support, allowing them to surpass 9,000 miles.

Shang Xia only needed to give them a small piece of land for them to reach a state of perfection, becoming the 13th continent of the Spirit Luxuriant World to do so.

That was the best way to speed up the growth of their world.

At that moment, the Northern Sea Continent, Yong Continent, Jiao Continent, You Continent, Jing Continent, Yi Continent, Bing Continent (Azure Spiritual World), Bing Continent (Azure Origin World), Hai Continent, Ji Continent and the newly ascended Liang Continent and Qing Continent had reached a state of perfection.

Naturally, even though they were giving a piece of landmass to their ally, they wouldn’t be doing it for free.

Shang Xia helped the Changbai Sect expand their continent to reach a state of perfection, and the Changbai Sect agreed to give the Tongyou Institution 20 percent control over it.

In order to reassure them, Shang Xia promised that they wouldn’t try to steal control of the World Origin Source even though they had 20 percent of it.

The control of the World Origin Source connected to any continent directly affected which faction had the ability to produce True Immortals.

The reason the Tongyou Institution expanded the Ji Continent back then and strengthened their control by obtaining more than 50 percent control of the World Origin Source made it such that the spirituality of the continent lay in their hands.

As for why they wanted 20 percent of the World Origin Source connected to the Liao Continent… It was because Shang Xia learned something from Gong Zhuo of the Wanyun Association back then.

A Spirit World might only be able to support a single True Immortal per continent, but after reaching an Essence World, that was no longer the case.

When that happened, the Tongyou Institution would have another quota to produce a True Immortal.

As for the Liang Continent and Qing Continent… the Eternal Palace and Divine Capital Sect didn’t compromise on the World Origin Source. They were willing to pay an even higher price just not to do so.

Shang Xia guessed that they probably had an idea of the importance of the World Origin Source connected to their continents. Moreover, with True Immortals of both factions taking charge of the continents, they had full control of it.

With the integration of the landmass underway, Shang Xia set his sights on the Ye Continent next.

The Ye Continent was also reaching a state of perfection.

The Dongjun Palace that was located there held extraordinary power and without a True Immortal, they already controlled 70 percent of the World Origin Source connected to it. Facing the Tongyou Institution’s goodwill, they had no ability to resist.

They paid the price of 20 percent of the World Origin Source in order to obtain the institution’s assistance. They obtained a fragment and pushed their continent into a state of perfection.

Whatever it was, even if the Dongjun Palace had an expert try to enter the Martial Void Realm, they could do it with their control of the World Origin Source anyway.

With that, the Ye Continent became the 14th continent to reach a state of perfection.

The Wu Continent came next. Like the others before it, it was also more than 9,000 miles wide.

After strengthening the continents to a state of perfection, the Spirit Luxuriant World grew rapidly.

The Three River Sect, whose strength was comparable to the Dongjun Palace, also paid the price to get a piece of land from Shang Xia.

It was only a matter of time before the landmasses were fully integrated for the Spirit Luxuriant World to properly possess 15 continents at the state of perfection.

…

When Shang Xia returned to the Spirit Luxuriant World with the Spirit Ark, everyone had been trying to get a piece of it.

Because Shang Xia and the Tongyou Institution held an absolute advantage in terms of strength and could suppress the entire world if they wanted, no one dared to mess with them. In the end, all dissent was reduced to grumbles and envious cries.

When Shang Xia chose to strengthen the Liang and Qing Continents, the angry cries grew in intensity and the world started to stir. However, when Shang Xia assisted the Liao, Ye, and Wu Continents to reach the state of perfection, those wagging tongues disappeared suddenly.

The Spirit Luxuriant World entered a strange state of calm and the various factions quietly watched as the Tongyou Institution did their thing.

It was as though other than the unrest caused by the expansion of the continents, the only disturbance was the increasing density of heaven and earth qi.

The benefits brought by Shang Xia bringing 5 continents to the state of perfection benefited everyone in the world. Many people received enlightenment from the increasing heaven and earth qi and the blessing of the World’s Will.

It could be said that everyone in the Spirit Luxuriant World benefited from Shang Xia’s actions.

Moreover, that was only what was happening at present. There would still be long-term effects that would cascade into the future.

Most of the world fragment had been distributed and there were several small pieces that Shang Xia sent to 2 different continents. This time, they were the weakest continents. The first was the Yan Continent which was controlled by the Zhongxuan Sect. They were also allies of the institution. The second was the Yang Continent where the dominant faction had pretty good relations with them.
