Chapter 1554: Complete Rank Seven Advancement Formula

Shang Xia was sure the Qi Dynasty Emperor’s cultivation was far from Sage Yan Yu of the Essence Du World!

Although the Qi Dynasty Emperor might have just completed his ascension and they were both at the first star of the Martial Emptiness Realm, there shouldn’t be such a significant disparity in the power they wielded. The only possibility was that the Qi Dynasty Emperor had taken a shortcut by using the remnants of Qi Jing's energy to ascend, paying an unknown price in the process.

"If this weren't the Essence Xing World, where he has the advantage, I might be able to fight a Martial Emptiness Realm Sage!” Shang Xia thought to himself.

After escaping the Qi Dynasty Emperor's pursuit and putting a safe distance between them, Shang Xia decisively broke through the void, reappearing 1,000,000 miles away from the Essence Xing World's heavenly screen. He immediately cloaked his aura with the Spirit Abundance Banner upon emerging to avoid detection by others.

At that point, Shang Xia was no longer concerned about the Qi Dynasty Emperor, but rather the other Sages of the Essence Xing World, Chen Ji, and Yu Tang, who had yet to make a move.

Logically, with the commotion Shang Xia had caused, escaping from high-level True Immortals and even the newly ascended Qi Dynasty Emperor, the should be no way the other Sages let him go easily.

In fact, Shang Xia was already prepared to summon the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet for another battle.

However, as Shang Xia continued to travel through the void, he got increasingly closer to the chaotic streams on the border of the stable space around the Essence Xing World. The other Sages had yet to appear.

With that, Shang Xia determined that the other Sages were held up by other matters.

Whatever it was, he couldn’t afford to think about the reasons at that moment. He wasn’t concerned about the impact his actions had on the Essence Xing World as well along with the Qi Dynasty Emperor’s advancement on their world. All he needed to do was to return to Star Beast Nest No.2.

Fortunately, nothing untoward happened on the way, and Shang Xia safely returned.

Perhaps due to his mood, Shang Xia had not felt it when he left the Star Beast Nest for the Essence Xing World. However, now that he was returning, he could clearly feel that the journey seemed a little shorter than before! The intensity of the chaotic streams had also weakened.

Shang Xia immediately realized that it wasn’t that the Star Beast Nest had changed location. Rather, the strength of the chaotic streams leading to the Heaven Observation Field was weakening!

The most likely reason for that was that the Star Curtain had also weakened!

Inside Star Beast Nest No.2, Song Zhen immediately came to greet Shang Xia when he returned. However, Shang Xia’s appearance was rather disheveled, which startled him so much that he quickly started to scan the surroundings for trouble. He forgot that because they were stuck in the chaotic streams, it was in vain.

“This...” After welcoming Shang Xia back to the Star Beast Nest, Song Zhen immediately activated the grand formation.

“There’s no need for that. It might cause unnecessary panic among the disciples here,” Shang Xia first reassured him, then explained, “It’s nothing serious. I was surrounded by several high-level True Immortals of the Essence Xing World. I managed to escape, but I decided to test out my strength against the newly ascended Qi Dynasty Emperor. Honestly speaking... The strength of the Qi Dynasty Emperor is a little disappointing even though he entered the Martial Emptiness Realm.”

Song Zhen opened his mouth but decided not to say anything, simply quietly listening to Shang Xia speak.

“It’s just unfortunate that I lost an External Avatar in the Essence Xing World. Otherwise, the trip would have been perfect.” Fortunately, Shang Xia did not dwell on it for long, soon regaining his composure.

Song Zhen thought for a moment and said, “It’s the inevitable price of using it as a decoy. Fortunately, your strength wasn’t affected. External Avatars can be recreated later, it’s just a matter of spending more on rare treasures and time.”

“You're right,” Shang Xia mused, “I got carried away, haha!”

Chuckling to himself, Song Zhen suddenly changed the topic. “Lord, did you see Director Gong? What was he like?”

Shang Xia paused slightly before answering, “His attitude was strange, and his actions seemed a little off. Whatever it is, we can no longer trust him.”

Hearing the general account from Shang Xia, Song Zhen nodded in agreement. “He’s indecisive and trying to please both sides. It doesn’t matter what his true intentions are, but he will probably offend the Essence Xing World as well. However... If we can still make use of him, there’s no reason not to!”

“Enough. Let’s not talk about him anymore. It’s getting annoying.” Shang Xia waved dismissively. “My objectives for this trip to the Essence Xing World have been achieved. I will go into seclusion for a while to recover from my injuries before traveling to the Essence Ping World. I was planning to leave an External Avatar here, but it seems like you need to continue taking care of things here for some time.”

“Of course, it’s my duty!” Song Zhen responded respectfully.

After leaving a few talismans with Song Zhen to deal with emergencies, Shang Xia used the Five Element Teleportation Formation to return to Tongyou City.

After learning from Ge Qingzhu that there was still no news of Kou Chongxue, Shang Xia went straight to the highest floor of the Talisman Pagoda to begin his seclusion.

Once his internal injuries showed signs of healing, Shang Xia could clearly sense that his reserves of inner qi had increased a little.

Even though Shang Xia was in the grand completion stage of the Six Direction Realm, that didn’t mean that he couldn’t improve further. At the very least, a stronger foundation would ensure he would be able to break through to the Seven Star Realm with greater ease.

Whatever it was, his attention didn’t stay on his dantian for long. Instead, it turned to the Crimson Soul Tablet.

In the Essence Xing World, Shang Xia managed to absorb 20 percent of the World Origin Source connected to the Tong Continent. Even though some was consumed when he summoned the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet, the remainder would be more than sufficient to complete the deduction of his rank seven advancement formula.

When Shang Xia saw the complete advancement formula displayed on the body of the Crimson Soul Tablet, he felt somewhat disappointed.

It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with the formula, but a significant part of the remaining content he had already guessed.

The support of the world and his soul brand were required, and that went without saying. He didn’t need to do anything as his soul had already been branded into the Spirit Luxuriant World.

As for the arrangement of the 7 suns in the formation of the big dipper, he had already arranged for Yuan Qiuyuan to do so without the hint from the Crimson Soul Tablet.

Fortunately, the completion of the remaining content didn’t require too much world origin. At least 10 percent of the world origin from the World Origin Source connected to the Tong Continent still remained.
