Chapter 1510: Spirit Calming Vessel

300 years!

Was it possible for a Spirit World to become an Essence World in 300 years?!

Hearing Xin Lu's words, the Ying Brothers revealed a bitter smile.

In the sea of stars, which Essence World or Heavenly Field wasn’t established after thousands of years?

300 years to ascend to an Essence World? Don’t fuck around!

Were they supposed to do it with the minor forces of the Twin Star Pirates and the spiritual beast kings of the Azure Ruling World?

There was also a need to mention how the Twin Star Pirates were inherently foreign experts. They weren’t compatible with the native spiritual beast kings.

Previously, it was only because of the need to resist the invasion from the Spirit Frost World that the 2 sides had to temporarily join forces. It was out of necessity, but that didn’t mean that they had already put aside their differences.

Moreover, the invasion from the Spirit Frost World was only repelled. The threat still loomed in the distance. The Ape King didn’t die and could return at any time, and would inevitably do so.

Like the Azure Ruling World, the Spirit Frost World also faces the peril of being drawn and devoured by the spatial vortex.

"The Ape King..."

Ying Lianxi was just speaking when Shang Xia interrupted him. "It’s not that I’m unwilling to help anymore, but due to its injuries, the Ape King should be hiding somewhere to recover. I might not be able to find it. Secondly, and more importantly, I no longer have time to waste here!"

Shang Xia continued with a solemn explanation, "You both must be aware of my origins. With the Heaven Observation Field about to emerge, great turmoil is expected. I must return to my own world to complete my preparations."

Ying Lianxi sighed lightly. Although he wanted to ask Shang Xia to try to hunt down the wounded Ape King, Shang Xia's reasoning left him no ground for argument.

Moreover, Shang Xia had already provided ample help to the Twin Star Pirates and the Azure Ruling World. It really wasn't reasonable to ask for more, especially as continued assistance would blur the lines of ownership over the Azure Ruling World.

"However..." Shang Xia's tone suddenly changed. "If you guys can quickly reach the level of Returning to the Origin, will it be possible to attack the Ape King?"

The Ying Brothers were momentarily taken aback by the question. Having witnessed the might of the Ape King, and while they had absolute confidence in their secret art, even after reaching the level of Returning to the Origin, they were doubtful if they could fight against the Ape King at the grand completion stage. Moreover... If the Ape King returned, there was no way it would be alone. There would be other spiritual beast kings under its command.

Another important point was the transition from the fourth tier to the fifth tier. Was it something that could be achieved because they wanted it to happen?

Seeing the Ying Brothers exchange silent glances, Shang Xia seemed to guess their thoughts. He smiled in response. "The Azure Ruling World was originally only short of 4 continents at the state of perfection. With the Vine King’s integration of the Elysium, the world expanded yet again. At least another continent reached a state of perfection. If you could draw in the Earth Stars that contain your souls... You should be able to push a few more continents to a state of perfection. The World’s Will would also recognize your achievements and give you its blessing. The Azure Ruling World's advancement would really be within reach!"

Seeing the Ying Brothers' eyes brighten with each word, Shang Xia smiled to himself and continued, "When that happens, all you will need to do is to expand the last few continents. With the blessing of the world, reaching the fifth tier would be a matter of natural progression.”

As the Ying Brothers looked at each other again, they both saw determination in each other's eyes.

Although it seemed like everything was arranged by others, they understood that it was probably the best path to resolve the current predicament the Azure Ruling World was facing.

If successful, the Azure Ruling World, or rather, the future Spirit World would buy them an additional 300 years.

Moreover, the Ying Brothers themselves were not without resources!

The Elysium that the Vine King sacrificed was most likely created by the old man whose body remained intact even in death. It should also be the creator of the secret art the Ying Brothers practiced.

Although the brothers had previously completed their inheritance from the treasure obtained from the corpse, their Twin Battle Formation, whether there was anything else left by the old man in the Elysium was unknown to anyone.

The Ying Brothers had thought about entering the Elysium before, but unfortunately, the Vine King controlled the entrance, allowing no one to enter.

Since the Vine King had integrated the Elysium into the world, the Ying Brothers didn’t need to worry about it any longer.

Fortunately, the inheritance of humans was useless to the Vine King. Since the Elysium had been integrated into the world, the Ying Brothers could take their time to look through its remains.

After the Ying Brothers returned below the heavenly screen full of thoughts, Xin Lu asked, puzzled, "Are you really comfortable leaving your weapon here for a long time? Without a handy weapon, won't that greatly affect your combat effectiveness? In fact, I think when the Vine King integrated the Elysium into the world, you should have taken the opportunity to retrieve your Stone Rod. The advancement process might have halted, but not much harm would come to the world.”

Facing Xin Lu’s doubts, Shang Xia just shook his head but didn’t elaborate further.

Yan Ming brought Xin Lu and took their leave without saying more.

Song Zhen’s merchant group would also split in half after the incident. A part would stay in the Azure Ruling World to recover and cooperate with the Twin Star Pirates in their exploration. They would share their gains equally.

The group would be under Zhu Nang's command.

The other group, led by Song Zhen, would urgently repair the Star Ship that suffered less damage after the battle. After Shang Xia restored his strength, they would immediately head to the Spirit Frost World for a reconnaissance mission.

There was no way the Ape King would recover in a short period after being injured by Shang Xia’s Crimson Soul Tablet.

Moreover, from how hastily they retreated, the situation in the Spirit Frost World was bound to be extremely chaotic. It would be the best time for Shang Xia to infiltrate them!

As for why Shang Xia didn't explain to Xin Lu and Yan Ming the reason he hadn't retrieved his weapon... It was because the Crimson Soul Tablet completed the deduction of the main medicine of his rank seven advancement formula.

Main Medicine: 7 drops of world origin from the World Origin Source of Spirit Worlds or higher, from 7 Different Heavenly Fields. (Each drop has to come from a different continent that is at least 10,000 miles wide. Refine the drop of world origin in the World Origin Source through your soul while embedding it in a Spirit Calming Vessel that has been placed directly in the World Origin Source.)

Shang Xia thought about the information revealed on the Crimson Soul Tablet and he eventually understood that it probably linked to the ascension process when entering the Seven Star Realm in the future.

Shang Xia's future advancement to the Seven Stars Realm probably wasn't just about refining a pill. The difficulty might also extend beyond the current considerations.
