Chapter 1485: Lingering Fear, Tearing Through the Heavenly Screen

Ying Lianxi’s question had crossed the line and he realized his mistake the moment the question left his lips. He quickly apologized.

However, Shang Xia already expected him to ask something along the lines.

As high-level True Immortals were unable to enter Azure Worlds, the Twin Star Pirates discovered that if they wished to establish their foundations there, they didn’t have enough experts to do the job. They were lacking in experts in the Martial Dipper Realm and Martial Void Realm.

The Ying Brothers could split off a clone to enter the Azure World, but since they were True Immortals, they would be suppressed either way. Since clones only possessed the strength of an expert in the initial stages of the Martial Void Realm, they wouldn’t be able to fight the weakest rank six spiritual beast there.

Unless they were willing to seal their cultivation at the third tier of the Martial Void Realm and force their way into the world, it would be useless. However, if they did that, the suppression of the World’s Will would still be immense and the plan wouldn’t work well. If it could, they wouldn’t have asked for Shang Xia’s help in the first place.

What was more, from how the rank six spiritual beasts came out to attack the ships, there were 4 of them in total. Their combat strength reached from the first tier to the third tier True Immortal-level and there was at least another hidden beast in their world who would most likely be the most difficult opponent to deal with.

If they sealed their cultivation, they might not even be able to deal with it once they entered the world.

What Shang Xia didn’t know was that the Ying Brothers already tried once before. They suffered great losses back then when they were third tier True Immortals.

After Shang Xia waved off Ying Lianxi’s concerns, he explained, “Actually, I have already displayed the limit of my strength. I should be able to support 4 Martial Dipper Realm experts for a short time. All of them would be able to gain the strength of a first tier True Immortal, but that is all I can do. Moreover, I will be weakened after providing my energy and I will only be comparable to a fifth tier True Immortal...”

He paused for a second before he added, “Considering the heavenly screen and its effects, after choosing your men to head over, you shouldn’t travel together. At the same time, all of you should carry a Heaven Liberation Talisman and use any ability you can to avoid suppression by the World’s Will.”

Ying Lianxi was extremely grateful while Ying Lianquan revealed his excitement. He yelled, “That’s great! When the time comes, we’ll split off 2 clones as well. If we choose 3 of them to be safe, we will have 5 experts with True Immortal-level strength. It will be enough to find a footing in the Azure World.”

Ying Lianxi sighed softly all of a sudden, “It’s a shame we lost too many members in the Original Stars Corner. More than half our accumulations of a hundred years were lost. Even Tian... If he was still here, we would be even more assured to take over the Azure World...”

Shang Xia chuckled softly. “It’s pretty easy to deal with this matter. Once Stargazer Xin deals with this, I will be able to focus more on helping you. She can also guide my men here. Oh right, you guys should be familiar with him. You should have seen him when we made a deal for the world fragment back then. He’s a third tier True Immortal now.”

After he spoke, the Ying Brothers revealed uncomfortable expressions.

Forcing a smile, Ying Lianxi mumbled, “If you include True Immortal Song, it’s like adding wings to a tiger. However, we should do this ourselves first and our Twin Star Pirates need to get more True Immortals to replenish our strength...”

Shang Xia nodded in agreement and handed them 4 Heaven Liberation Talismans before taking his leave.

The Twin Star Pirates didn’t immediately start their invasion. Instead, they started to make their preparations. The first thing they needed to do was to grab a floating continent in the void. They would fortify it and use it as their base of operations. Once that was done, they would need to obtain a huge batch of resources from the Spirit Ark to support their operation.

After the Ying Brothers left, Xin Lu, who had been silent the entire time, sent him a voice transmission, “The Twin Star Pirates seem afraid after their recent loss. They are afraid you will suppress them and make them your subordinates.”

Shang Xia laughed to himself. Of course, he could tell what they were feeling. He didn’t really care as he felt it was much better to be feared than to be plotted against.

Moreover, their fear of him would be a formless pressure that prevented them from doing anything stupid. It was a much more effective method of control.

“How is your progress?” Shang Xia asked suddenly.

Even though the Ying Brothers left, they left behind a lot of members to help Xin Lu. To put it bluntly, the Ying Brothers left them behind to see how much they could learn.

Xin Lu turned serious suddenly. “It’s not going too smoothly.”

Before Shang Xia could continue to ask, Xin Lu explained, “They definitely have a Stargazer or creature that possesses the same skill. They are disrupting my deductions.”

Shang Xia might not know too much about the art of stargazing, but he still asked, “How are they disrupting you?”

Xin Lu pointed at the void above and sighed, “They’re using starlight. They can also draw starlight over to interfere with my deduction process. They are also using false coordinates to confuse me.”

Shang Xia thought for a second and suggested, “Why don’t we pause here for a moment? We can wait for Yan Ming to come and you guys can work together.”

“If Sister Yan Ming comes, we will definitely be able to overpower them. However... I still wish to try this out alone!” Xin Lu locked her eyebrows together and said in a low voice.

Shang Xia saw the look of determination in her eyes and asked, “Is this so you can reach the next level?”

Xin Lu nodded once and didn’t say more.

Deciding not to force the matter, Shang Xia nodded along and sent a clone over to the Azure World.

As soon as his clone arrived, he asked, “Have you already sent them in?”

What Shang Xia sent was a normal clone, not an External Avatar. However, because of their proximity, Shang Xia would be able to bestow his inner qi on his clone and he could maintain his communication with the Ying Brothers because of it.

Ying Lianquan replied, “Not yet. However, we have already chosen the people to go. 4 of them will split into 2 teams and we will both send a clone separately. Brother Shang, do you plan to go with them to take a look?”

Shang Xia’s clone told them about how the other side was disrupting Xin Lu’s attempt to determine their location before he smiled to answer, “Of course I do.”

Ying Lianxi raised an eyebrow in response. “Before we try anything, it would be best for us to draw the attention of the powerful spiritual beasts in the Azure Savage World.”

After he spoke, Ying Lianxi nodded at Shang Xia’s clone. He rushed over to the heavenly screen with Ying Lianquan and they unleashed their secret art. Both of them sent a punch at the heavenly screen.

Even though Shang Xia could tell that they were suppressed by the World’s Will by being so close to the heavenly screen, the void still trembled violently around their fists. The heavenly screen rippled violently under their fists before a small crack was formed. The crack extended and eventually, a hole was torn open as the world was revealed to Shang Xia and the others.
