Chapter 1406: Sixth Move

It was a wondrous feeling.

However, 3 months passed in the blink of an eye as Shang Xia managed to enter the state to observe the entire You Continent.

That wasn’t all. During the process, he actually entered the level of Extreme Harmonization without facing any obstruction!

Everything happened so naturally and silently.

No heaven-and-earth qi vortex was produced, and no mighty heavenly phenomena were seen. Not a single soul was alarmed, and without anyone realizing it, the first sixth tier True Immortal of the Spirit Luxuriant World was born in the Talisman Pagoda of the Tongyou Institution!

Shang Xia quickly discovered that once he awakened from the mystical state, world essence continued to pour into him.

Even after reaching a new level of cultivation, he was still improving rapidly.

It was clear bringing 7 continents of the world into a state of perfection was extremely beneficial to one’s cultivation!

Staying in seclusion for another month or so, Shang Xia consolidated his foundations and grew slightly stronger.

Nearing the end of his cultivation, the Crimson Soul Tablet in his sea of consciousness started to tremble and it no longer provided energy it refined to Shang Xia. Instead, it started to change its focus to deduce the sixth move of the Six Harmony Rod Technique.

Shang Xia had already comprehended 5 moves, namely, Harmonizing Continent, Starry Disorder, Void Emptiness, Void Seal, and Breaking World.

Once he comprehended his sixth move, he should reach the large completion stage of the Six Direction Realm!

After experiencing the strange state, Shang Xia could tell that the sixth move was definitely related to Man and Heaven as One.

Naturally, a mystical state like that wasn’t so easily expressed!

Fortunately for him, he once comprehended the Man and Heaven Synergy Chapter. He had been looking into the intricacies of the principles behind it in recent years, and it was an extremely profound secret art.

The Man and Heaven Synergy Chapter seemed like a simplified version of Man and Heaven as One. In fact... It might have been an entry point to the mystical state in the first place.

With the World’s Will blessing pouring into Shang Xia, he could replicate his experience when he experienced Man and Heaven as One.

Of course, the difference between that and the real thing was huge, but being able to experience it again would still prove to be of great benefit.

After reaching the Martial Void Realm, as long as one was able to touch on the state of Man and Heaven as One, they would be able to successfully advance to the next tier with the enlightenment it brought. However, there was almost no one like Shang Xia who could enter the state for 3 whole months, and replicate the feeling after that!

As the Man and Heaven Synergy Chapter appeared in his mind, Shang Xia had a strange feeling the next move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique was forming in his mind.

In his mind, the final move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique should be omniscient. Everything would be able to transform into his weapon the moment it was unleashed.

The name of his sixth move also appeared in his mind the next moment, Heaven Liberation!

Even though his sixth move was just a concept in his mind and he still had a long way to go to refine it, he stopped cultivating all of a sudden.

As he woke up from his special state of cultivation, he suddenly dispersed the heaven and earth qi that had gathered around him.

Who could have thought that Shang Xia would suddenly get rid of the state of enlightenment everyone sought so hard to achieve?

If news of what he did got out, god knew how many cultivators would pound their chests and curse him out even if he was a powerful True Immortal.

As for the reason he did that... It was because he gained inspiration from something that happened in the Essence Xing World.

In the Essence Xing World, the Chen Dynasty Emperor didn’t attempt to break through to the Martial Emptiness Realm by entering seclusion. He first tried to regain control of the territory of his Chen Dynasty, taking over or kicking out any faction within.

If not for Shang Xia’s interference, the Wanyun Association would have suffered the fate of having their Elysium and the floating city destroyed.

Other than that, the Chen Dynasty Emperor made a deal with the Piercing Cloud Thieves and paid a huge price in order to obtain a world fragment.

If Shang Xia didn’t fuck around with that, the Piercing Cloud Thieves wouldn’t have lost their world fragment along with their fourth chief.

From all the information Shang Xia gathered, the Chen Dynasty Emperor wasn’t satisfied with just that. He had other plans in motion.

The reason he wanted to do that wasn’t just because the Chen Dynasty’s foundations weren’t enough for him to break through. Instead, he wanted to sever the connection between his soul and the world, allowing him to no longer be restricted to the Essence Xing World and to gain true freedom in the sea of stars.

If Shang Xia said that he didn’t plan on entering the Seventh Order after reaching his current cultivation realm, he would be lying.

Since that was the case, he would have to start his preparations as soon as he could.

The moment a cultivator stepped on their path, they would be blessed by the World’s Will. When entering the Martial Void Realm, they would even brand their soul into the world through the World Origin Source.

The karmic connection with their world would grow stronger the more they cultivated. The more they were blessed by the world and the greater the assistance they received, the connection would grow even stronger. It would even become an important barrier between the Martial Void Realm and Martial Emptiness Realm, directly affecting one’s cultivation.

Of course, that wasn’t the only thing stopping one from entering the Martial Emptiness Realm.

Whatever it was, if a cultivator wanted to weaken the connection, they would have to do what the Chen Dynasty Emperor did. Also, weakening the connection didn’t mean that they would be able to sever it completely.

In order to completely sever the connection, or for it not to hinder one’s breakthrough, one could only contribute more to their world.

That was exactly what Shang Xia had been doing the entire time, but even so, after taking part in so many operations to strengthen his world, the World’s Will blessing that descended on him to assist his cultivation strengthened those connections again.

The World’s Will blessing was greatly beneficial to one’s cultivation, and that was why Shang Xia used its assistance to break through to the sixth tier. Now that he was done, he decided to get rid of it completely.

Shang Xia’s attitude to the World’s Will blessing was clear. He would use it when necessary and stop once he achieved his goal.

At the very least, he felt that he had to reach a state where his contributions to the world were more than its blessing to him.
