Chapter 1581: The True Immortals in the Grand Completion Stage of the Spirit Abundance World and Spirit Mammoth World

"What should we do next?" After retreating tens of thousands of miles from the vicinity of the Essence Ping World, True Immortal Shao was the first to ask about their next course of action.

"With this incident, it's clear we likely won't be able to approach the Essence Ping World in the short term," Qu Guan sighed while shaking his head.

"We indeed need some time to recuperate and also to observe the reactions of the Spirit Mammoth World, Star Origin Lord Manor, and the Spirit Abundance World. Right, the world containing the Star Origin Dao Field is probably about to arrive too. There should be a period of calm soon...” Zuo Li analyzed.

True Immortal Shao thought for a moment and glanced at Kou Chongxue and Zuo Li. "Should we still try to contact the other True Immortals?”

Zuo Li pondered silently, unsure about how to approach the matter.

Just then, Shang Xia, who had been quietly contemplating, suddenly looked up into the depths of the void. A moment later, he stood up and said to those beside him, "They’re here...!"

Zuo Li and Kou Chongxue reacted first, standing up following Shang Xia, and looked in the direction of his gaze into the deep void, but saw nothing.

However, the others reacted instinctively, forming their battle formation around Zuo Li and Kou Chongxue.

"Do not misunderstand, esteemed True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance!"

"We have come to meet True Immortal Shang and mean no harm!"

2 voices came one after the other, and soon, their figures appeared a thousand miles in front of everyone.

Zuo Li and Kou Chongxue did not relax their vigilance because of what they said. On the contrary, their expressions grew even more solemn.

The 2 old experts who arrived didn’t conceal their aura. They were clearly at the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm.

Facing them, Shang Xia spoke casually with a slight hand gesture, "You found me. How should I address you?”

The True Immortal on the left, who had a head full of unkempt red and white hair along with huge ears, clasped his hands. He had a buff figure, but he stood slightly hunched. He was the first to speak, “I am Xiong Xin from the Spirit Abundance World. This is my old friend, True Immortal Yuan Chan of the Spirit Mammoth World.”

The True Immortal on the right had a medium stature and he wore ordinary hemp clothes. He had a sallow face with heavy eye bags. However, his eyes shone with a brilliant light. “I am Yuan Chen. Greetings, True Immortal Shang.”

Looking at them calmly, Shang Xia raised an eyebrow. “Is something the matter?”

After exchanging glances, Xiong Xin spoke, "Of course it’s regarding the matter of the Star Origin Lord in the Essence Ping World. Shall we speak privately?”

When they appeared, they didn’t even glance at Kou Chongxue or Zuo Li. They didn’t bother glancing at the True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance’s battle formation, but when speaking to Shang Xia, they wore solemn expressions and even looked a little respectful.

Exchanging a look with Kou Chongxue, Shang Xia eventually turned back and smiled. “Alright.”

After he spoke, the 3 grand completion stage True Immortals seemed to understand each other’s intentions and disappeared in the void in unison. The True Immortals of the 3 World Alliance stared at each other with confusion in their eyes.

"This... What is the meaning of this?” Qu Guan asked with uncertainty. His tone even contained a hint of displeasure.

Shooting him a warning look, Zuo Li grunted, “Obviously, True Immortal Shang has already reached a level we cannot comprehend. In the eyes of the peak-level experts of the Spirit Mammoth World and Spirit Abundance World, they only see him as an equal...”

A smile appeared on Kou Chongxue’s face as he explained softly, “Obviously, they came to find out what happened in the Essence Xing World. True Immortal Shang has already informed us about what happened...”

Everyone stared at him quietly, but they quickly realized it was true.

Considering what Shang Xia had just shared, he might have told them most of what happened. The things he had hidden from them wouldn’t be revealed to the True Immortals of the other worlds either.

"But... Wouldn’t they try to harm True Immortal Shang? Both of them are at the grand completion stage... If they have any bad intentions and join hands to deal with True Immortal Shang...” Qu Guan couldn't help but speak again while looking at Kou Chongxue.

In response, Kou Chongxue’s smile remained on his face without fading.

Zuo Li interjected, "There’s no need to worry about these things. Since True Immortal Shang could cause such a huge disturbance in the Essence Ping World and leave unharmed, he clearly possesses terrifying abilities. Even though we’re not at the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm, we should know that what he did isn’t something regular experts at that level can achieve.”

After a pause, Zuo Li continued, "Even if they join hands... They might not be able to gain too much of an upper hand against True Immortal Shang!”

True Immortal Shao also laughed, "Can’t we just ask True Immortal Shang what they want after he returns?”

Understanding there was nothing they could do even if they were to worry about it, they decided to enter meditation to restore their inner qi.

...

Meanwhile, Xiong Xin, Yuan Chan, and Shang Xia had already arrived at a desolate location in the void.

When they reappeared, Yuan Chan and Xiong Xin saw how Shang Xia arrived at the same time and they nodded slightly, as though acknowledging his strength and qualification to speak to them on equal grounds.

"If you have something to say, feel free." Shang Xia glanced at each of them before speaking.

Xiong Xin started the ball rolling. "Something changed in the Essence Ping World suddenly, even alarming the Star Origin Lord. True Immortal Shang, can you please share with us what happened?”

Shang Xia pondered briefly before speaking, "You worlds should have started the exploration of the Essence Ping World before us and have the ability to learn what is happening within. What is the current situation in the Essence Ping World?”

Shang Xia's implication was clear. If they wanted to get information out of him, they needed to show some sincerity.

Xiong Xin chuckled in response, "The Essence Ping World a nearly perfected Essence World. All 36 continents have reached a state of perfection and so has their World Origin Source. The Star Origin Lord’s takeover of the World’s Will has been relatively smooth these years and he managed to control 30 continents. The World’s Will has also been on its last legs because it only controls the final 6 continents...”

"However, not long ago, the Star Origin Lord showed signs of awakening and the World’s Will seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, regaining control of 2 continents. In a fit of rage, the Star Origin Lord tried to retake the territory but just as he gathered enough power to retake a continent, the World’s Will would attack from a different direction, leading to a stalemate. This time, the World’s Will seems to have gained the upper hand.” Xiong Xin concluded.

Shang Xia listened thoughtfully, then turned his gaze to Yuan Chan.

Yuan Chan smiled helplessly and said, "Unless Zhuo Gudao dies, he will have to fight the Star Origin Lord to the death. After all... The moment he decided to break through, either he or the Star Origin Lord will have to die.”

Seeing Shang Xia's puzzled look, Yuan Chan explained, "The Star Origin Dao Field itself is part of the Star Origin Lord's path to enlightenment. He left an artifact there crucial for further advancement. However... The Star Origin Dao Field and the treasure are in Zhuo Gudao’s hands. The treasure should also be the reason Zhuo Gudao managed to ascend to the Martial Emptiness Realm!”
