Chapter 1606: Up To Fate

During Hai Yuanyuan's growth, Shang Xia had always played the role of a father figure.

Even though Hai Yuanyuan always addressed Shang Xia as her uncle, Shang Xia saw her as the successor to the martial arts path he had forged.

What Shang Xia didn't know was that Hai Yuanyuan's feelings for him were not just respect and admiration. To some extent, she even idolized him, leading her to imitate Shang Xia’s experiences without his knowledge.

For example, Shang Xia had once infiltrated the Spirit Abundance World when he was in the Five Elements Realm. Since she was about to reach the grand completion stage of the Five Element Realm, she too, infiltrated the Spirit Abundance World. Taking advantage of the opportunity where the cultivators of the Spirit Abundance World sneaked into the Essence Ping World, she followed closely with her exquisite Five Element Movement Art.

This infiltration into the Essence Ping World brought Hai Yuanyuan an opportunity of her own. To cross the void that was protected by a True Immortal of the Spirit Abundance World, she had to push her Five Element Movement Art to the limit.

Doing so meant that her movement art would be a little harder to control and it greatly increased the likelihood of unexpected events occurring.

When she finally entered the Essence Ping World, she found herself in a very special location. She appeared in a mysterious spot between spatial transitions, surrounded by heaven and earth qi so dense that it became paste-like. She even heard the sound of waves crashing around her within the fluctuating space.

Hai Yuanyuan, having heard about such places from others more than once, immediately concluded that she was on the edge of the World Origin Source connected to a continent.

With each breath she took, the rich heaven and earth qi, along with the diluted world origin it contained, flowed into her body. Her Five Element Art that she inherited from Shang Xia started to circulate, using the energy to refine her fate dipper essences. The refinement process allowed her to reach the large completion stage of the Five Element Realm.

She stayed in the wondrous space for several days, and when she emerged, she was a step away from reaching the grand completion stage.

Actually, if not for her wanting to comprehend her martial intent to reach the grand completion stage, she wouldn’t have left.

Perhaps her luck was just too terrifying, or perhaps the heavens wanted to teach her a lesson, she ran into a group of experts from the Spirit Abundance World who were surveying the lands and setting up formation nodes.

The moment Hai Yuanyuan appeared, the energy around her started to scatter and a heavenly phenomenon was formed.

2 Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Spirit Abundance World, who were also aware of their world’s decision, immediately ordered Hai Yuanyuan’s capture.

A fierce battle erupted instantly. Even though Hai Yuanyuan, an expert who could easily fight those in the same cultivation realm, while also possessing a myriad of Five Element Arts, was certainly strong, She could only put up a desperate defense against multiple experts of the same level.

Fortunately, she was a rich mommy level figure. She had tons of treasures and as she moved, she started to use her movement art to evade while tossing talismans at her opponents. She quickly broke out of the encirclement and escaped.

However, the commotion Hai Yuanyuan caused was significant, quickly alerting the True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World. Especially since her appearance looked like it had something to do with the World Origin Source. With hopes of locating it, there was no need to send down an order to capture her any longer. The True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World took action personally, with 2 of them racing after her.

Under such circumstances, Hai Yuanyuan experienced the most perilous and challenging days of her life for a few days. Yet, through her incredible Five Elements Movement Art and the high-level talismans Shang Xia had given her, she managed to escape from their clutches several times. Not only did she deepen her understanding of her Five Element Origin, she also managed to bring her Five Element Movement Art to the peak of its level, nearing a state of transformation.

Perhaps because the True Immortals lost their patience, or they might be humiliated by a Martial Dipper Realm cultivator escaping from them... Or they might simply be eager to locate the World Origin Source, they no longer gave a shit about their reputation and gathered several dozen cultivators. There were even 7 or 8 Formation Grandmasters among them and they set up a massive formation nearly 1,000 miles around where Hai Yuanyuan would be likely to appear.

The sole purpose of the formation was to disrupt the elemental qi and to seal the void, limiting her movement arts.

Things happened exactly as they planned. Her movement art was significantly affected, preventing her from escaping immediately. As the Formation Grandmasters increased the suppression over the area, the affected area rapidly shrunk and she suffered a greater restraint. Eventually, it reached a state where the space around her felt like it had solidified, pushing her into a desperate situation.

After running for so long, the treasures she had was basically depleted. Facing such an elaborate trap by 2 True Immortals and dozens of cultivators in the Martial Extermination Realm or higher, she realized she was genuinely in danger. She didn’t hesitate to activate her final and strongest trump card, the Heaven Liberation Talisman.

It was originally just a talisman that would release all the energy Shang Xia stored within, giving her extraordinary strength. However, because Shang Xia personally crafted the talisman, replaced more effort into it, and not only would it last longer, but it also contained a lot more energy. Moreover, it was more likely to draw Shang Xia’s attention.

When she activated the talisman, she actually held no hopes of catching Shang Xia’s attention. After all, she tried to call for help several times before but he failed to show up. She was prepared to use up the power in the talisman to escape.

Reality finally set in and she realized she was in an Essence World. It was a supreme world with Martial Emptiness Realm Sages in command. It wasn’t just any other world in the Heaven Observation Field. Shang Xia, who was her ultimate back-up, might not be able to hear her cries for help.

At that moment, she could only rely on herself!
