Chapter 1512: To The Spirit Frost World!

In the Spirit Frost World, with the coordinates Grand Stargazer Xin Lu had calculated, Shang Xia and Song Zhen didn’t take long to traverse the chaotic streams that separated them.

However, after passing through the chaotic streams, Shang Xia did not direct the Star Ship deeper into the void to find the Spirit Frost World. Instead, he instructed Song Zhen and others to keep the ship near the edge of the chaotic currents so they could retreat back into them if they encountered any danger.

"Do you think the Spirit Frost World and the Azure Ruling World belong to the same Heavenly Field?" Shang Xia asked Xin Lu the question seemingly on a whim before they departed.

Xin Lu thought about it and did not give a direct answer. "From what we know about the Heavenly Fields, the chaotic streams separating the Spirit Frost World and the Azure Ruling World are wider and more far-reaching than those within a Heavenly Field, and they are also more dangerous."

After speaking, Xin Lu added, "The presence of that vast spatial vortex has changed many things. Perhaps only by uncovering the history before the vortex formed can we clarify this matter."

Shang Xia immediately lost interest upon hearing this and waved his hand dismissively, "Never mind, it was just a casual question."

After giving a few instructions to Song Zhen, Shang Xia silently left the Star Ship.

Before leaving, however, he left a clone on the Star Ship to facilitate the timely transmission of some simple yet extremely important messages at critical moments.

After Shang Xia's departure, Song Zhen also began to act. Although the Star Ship would stay near the edge of the chaotic streams, this did not mean it would remain stationary. The buffer area at the boundary between the chaotic streams and the world often harbors various strange cultivation resources, which usually require a lot of time to collect and refine.

Xin Lu, stirred by Shang Xia's casual question before leaving, often seemed somewhat distracted.

Finding the Spirit Frost World did not require much effort from Shang Xia. Thanks to the Teleportation Talismans he made and the banner made from the Spirit Abundance World’s heavenly screen fragment, he was not only able to stealthily infiltrate the Spirit Frost World but also conceal his own aura so as not to be detected by the spiritual beast kings.

However, Shang Xia soon realized that those spiritual beast kings probably didn't care much about whether their world was being infiltrated by outsiders.

The Spirit Frost World was indeed in chaos. It was more than what Shang Xia and the others predicted!

Just as Shang Xia infiltrated the Spirit Frost World, he coincidentally encountered a natural phenomenon caused by the death of a rank six spiritual beast king. The massive loss of life force and the gradual dissipation of a vast aura were perceptible to all creatures above the fourth rank.

In the direction where the rank six spiritual beast king had perished, the auras of 3 other spiritual beast kings of the same rank were slowly retreating.

Shang Xia’s mighty divine soul could detect what was happening there, and he discovered the presence of a foreign spiritual beast king comparable to a second tier True Immortal.

It wasn’t present during the invasion of the Azure Ruling World. That also told him that the Spirit Frost World didn’t just leave behind spiritual beast kings at the level of first tier True Immortals. The overall strength of the Spirit Frost World was clearly much more formidable than he had thought.

However, even the most formidable strength would become less of a threat when they lost their leader.

The spiritual beast kings often do not have the habit of concealing their auras, leaning more towards the instincts of wild animals. A vibrant aura not only serves as a powerful weapon to deter opponents but also as a basis for marking their territories.

Therefore, shortly after infiltrating the Spirit Frost World, Shang Xia was able to detect the auras of nearly 20 spiritual beast kings.

That didn’t even include the spiritual beast king that was slain, or any other that had already died. However, one thing was certain. The Ape King and the Arc-Winged King were not present.

The situation seemed like a good opportunity to stir up trouble, but Shang Xia dared not act rashly.

He knew that the moment his aura was revealed, the spiritual beast kings would unite instantly to deal with him. He could never underestimate the intelligence of those creatures.

He simply chose to quietly observe everything without revealing himself. He took note of everything, including the beasts’ lifestyles.

In general, beasts based their communities on their bloodline. Aside from some specific beasts and birds, there are very few loners.

While the control of the world was held by spiritual beasts, there was a much larger presence of ordinary creatures compared to the Azure Ruling World. Those ordinary creatures were also under the command of the spiritual beast kings.

Beasts of the same bloodline came together to form communities, with the most powerful among them serving as the leaders.

Communities varied in size and strength. Powerful beast communities often managed other weaker communities, forming alliances that would attack other factions.

However, as Shang Xia's understanding of the world deepened, he discovered that the territories of many factions were fixed.

That was because most of the strongest factions would be backed by a spiritual beast king. The growth of a rank six spiritual beast king required their souls to be branded into the world through the continent, which would be their territory.

After some investigation, Shang Xia determined that there were nearly 20 main factions, but there were clearly more than 20 continents in the Spirit Frost World.

Those continents that hadn’t been occupied became the main focus of those strong beast factions to vie for power.

He also discovered that a few factions were about to make big moves.

In a massive landmass that was separated by 2 mountain ranges, the size of land surpassed 20,000 miles. It was 2 continents that were connected to different parts of the World Origin Source, but still seemed like a single entity. To Shang Xia, it looked to be a giant continent that far surpassed the state of perfection.

There, several spiritual beast factions had already surrounded a valley within. They seemed to be moving in a highly coordinated manner as they slowly closed in.

As he continued to observe what was happening, he counted 5 factions in total and they moved extremely cautiously. It seemed like there was something in the valley they were wary of.

Based on his initial examination of the valley, there didn’t seem to be spiritual beast kings of the sixth rank or higher. In fact, there weren’t high-level beasts in the area. Finding it strange, Shang Xia wanted to inspect it once more carefully. Based on his observations, be it the terrain of cultivation conditions, the valley was a prime cultivation location.

How could there not be any powerful communities nested within?

Before he could try anything, the spiritual beast factions had already taken action.

Seeing them move out, Shang Xia had a strange conjecture as to what was hidden within, but he didn’t dare to confirm it at the moment.

Only when the auras of 5 high-level True Immortal spiritual beast kings appeared among the attackers did Shang Xia find the situation a little more clear.

He was right. There had to be a high-level True Immortal spiritual beast king hidden in the valley!

As they continued to approach, a strange cry came from the valley.

Yiwuuu

The Arc-Winged King tore through the void and appeared in the skies before anyone could react. It circles around while issuing warning cries. It seemed to be accusing those factions and the spiritual beast kings behind them for recklessly intruding into the valley.

The angry roars of the Arc-Winged King soon provoked responses from the surrounding spiritual beast kings. Different roars and cries came from the void. Some of them seemed like they were trying to explain themselves, some of them were issuing warning cries, and some sounded like threats.

Although Shang Xia did not understand the communication methods among different creatures, they usually communicated through their souls because they were of different species. Even humans could understand the general content of their conversation. His familiarity with spiritual beasts also helped.

While hiding in the void near the region, Shang Xia managed to confirm his guess. The valley in the giant continent that far surpassed 2 continents' worth of land that had reached the state of perfection was the territory of the Ape King and where it branded its soul into the world.

After being severely injured by Shang Xia’s Crimson Soul Tablet projection, the Ape King quickly returned to the Spirit Frost World with the help of the Arc-Winged King. The other spiritual beast kings took the opportunity to stir up some trouble as they intended to seize the position of leader of the Spirit Frost World.

Because where it was hiding had been too secretive before, they were never able to find it.

If it were to recover from its injuries and return, the spiritual beast kings of the Spirit Frost World knew that they would be under its suppression once again. They would also never be able to advance to the seventh rank.

In order to find or force the Ape King out, many factions backed by different high-level spiritual beast kings started to hunt down members of the ape community. They also banded together to kill a third tier True Immortal-level ape.

The heavenly phenomenon that Shang Xia encountered when he first infiltrated the Spirit Frost World was created after a rank six ape was killed.

The Giant Ape King could become the leader of all spiritual beast kings in the Spirit Frost World, suppressing those beneath it, not because of its individual strength. It was also because its community was the strongest among all beasts, occupying the most spiritually rich region of the Spirit Frost World. It was the only faction in the Spirit Frost World that had two rank six beasts.

After the secret slaughter of the beasts of the Giant Ape Tribe and the death of the other rank six Giant Ape, the spiritual beast kings of the Spirit Frost World came up with a final method to drag the Ape King out from its hiding spot. They would destroy the soul brand of the Ape King to the Spirit Frost World!

Because they could not confirm the current status of the Ape King, the high-level spiritual beast kings didn’t dare to show their faces. They would always send the lower-level subordinates to carry out their plans. This time was different. With their appearance, they might not have forced the Ape King out of hiding, but the Arc-Winged King made an appearance to stop them from destroying the Ape King’s soul brand.

After the Giant Ape King was severely injured, it was the Arc-Winged King that immediately rescued and took it away.

If there is a second being in the Spirit Frost World that knows the whereabouts of the Giant Ape King, then it had to be the Arc-Winged King.

Strangely, though, since the Arc-Winged King showed itself, finding the Ape King should have been the next step for the other creatures. Even though it was circling high above the valley, the other high-level spiritual beast kings didn’t take action. Even the many factions slowly approaching the valley stepped.

Another guess formed in Shang Xia’s mind. The Arc-Winged King, whose talent was comparable to a Stargazer, was a special existence among the spiritual beast kings of the Spirit Frost World! The other spiritual beast kings were unwilling to harm it.

That made Shang Xia once again think of the many worlds slowly being drawn into the spatial vortex.

If the Ape King was eager to promote the Spirit Frost World to an Essence World through the conquest of other worlds for the reason of resisting and escaping the attraction of the spatial vortex, the other beast kings of the Spirit Frost World could not be unaware of this situation.

That would mean that whoever became the next leader of the Spirit Frost World still had to rely on the Arc-Winged King's divine talents to find and locate other worlds.

As special as the Arc-Winged King was, the temptation of the position of the leader of the world was too tempting. The desire to break through to the seventh rank was also an unstoppable force in driving their actions. At most, the Arc-Winged King would be able to save its life during the most crucial moment. It wouldn’t be able to stop the Ape King’s soul brand from being destroyed...

To Shang Xia, the main question was how he should take advantage of the current situation so that he could reap the most benefits.

Just as Shang Xia was pondering what to do next, his thoughts were interrupted by a high-pitched cry from the Arc-Winged King. The next second, he could feel his presence being exposed to the creatures of the Spirit Frost World!

Even though Shang Xia had already recovered to his peak condition, he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. Looking up he saw the Arc-Winged King flapping its wings as it charged straight at him.
