Chapter 1622: It’s In!

After successfully communicating with the World Origin Source of the Spirit Light World, Shang Xia caused a pretty big chain reaction when placing his Spirit Calming Vessel into the World Origin Source.

Too bad for the members of the Spirit Light World, their True Immortals were outside the heavenly screen. Most of those who had the ability to travel around unhindered were sent out, and the high-level True Immortals were greeting the expert from the superior world.

There were a few first and second tier Elysium True Immortals remaining in their world, but they didn’t have the ability to perceive what Shang Xia had done. Some of them might have sensed something, but they probably dismissed it as another expert trying to break through to the Martial Void Realm.

When a True Immortal or 2 tried to probe out what was happening and touched Shang Xia’s restrictions, they quickly withdrew. Interfering with another cultivator’s advancement to the Martial Void Realm was a serious taboo in the Spirit Light Realm, and Shang Xia fortuitously exploited their tradition.

After successfully connecting with the World Origin Source and despite its strong rejection, nothing could stop him from throwing the spear he had refined multiple times with his Six Direction Qi that contained his will deep into the world.

However... The moment the spear struck deep in the World Origin Source, a terrifying consciousness descended. It seemed to awaken and a loud roar rang in Shang Xia’s mind. “Who dares to invade my Essence Chong Heavenly Field?!”

Feeling a strong jolt to his soul, Shang Xia felt as though it was close to collapsing due to the sudden blow. Thankfully, his will was firm and he managed to resist the strike to his soul. Even though the expert who attacked his consciousness was strong, it wasn’t enough to cause Shang Xia lasting damage.

He was certainly taken aback by the sudden attack and the blood even drained from his face. However, Shang Xia soon discovered what had happened. A Sage left a trace of their soul into the World Origin Source and he failed to detect it due to his identity as an outsider of the world. The moment his presence was detected in the World Origin Source, the strand of soul of the Sage awakened.

However... That begged the question. Why would the Spirit Light World contain a strand of a Sage’s soul?

Was that how all Sages controlled the worlds under them? Or perhaps... Was the Sage plotting something?

Considering that the Sage was most likely the expert overseeing the Heavenly Field, Shang Xia couldn’t help but worry about the future of the Spirit Light World.

Of course, he didn’t have the time to care about them at the moment. He had his problems to deal with.

He soon discovered that after successfully withstanding the soul assault from the unknown Sage, nothing was left in the World Origin Source that could threaten him. After all... The strand of soul the Sage left in their World Origin Source had been used up to attack Shang Xia.

Shang Xia was no stranger to facing Sages. He had fought Martial Emptiness Realm clones before, and even direct confrontation with a Sage wasn’t something he hadn’t ever done before. A mere strand of soul wasn’t something that could threaten him.

The only thing he had to consider was the fact that he had been noticed.

Even though the strand of soul couldn’t do jackshit to him, he had already been detected by the soul of a Sage! Even if he was able to escape, no matter what happened next, the Sage would definitely send someone to check out the Spirit Light World. When that happened, his Spirit Calming Vessel would most definitely be found and destroyed.

If he wanted to ensure the safety of his treasure, it would be best for him to completely get rid of any marks the Sage left behind in the World Origin Source.

Of course, it wasn’t something that would be easily accomplished. Even the True Immortals of the Spirit Light World failed to detect the presence of the Sage’s soul. However, that was only if someone else tried it. For Shang Xia, it was merely challenging, not impossible.

After withstanding the initial shock, the strand of soul was completely exhausted. All that was left was the remnant mark it had left behind in the World Origin Source.

With Shang Xia’s divine soul expanding greatly to look for the source where he was attacked earlier, he used the Crimson Soul Tablet to disrupt the World Origin Source as much as possible. Eventually, he locked on to the location where the strand of soul originated from.

However, the more he tried to detect it, the more it seemed as though it didn’t truly exist. It was in a strange state of existence. The feeling was like the presence of a heavenly screen.

Erasing the mark was beyond the might of an ordinary True Immortal, but Shang Xia was no ordinary practitioner.

His inner qi already possessed strong corrosive abilities. Even though the soul was that of a Martial Emptiness Realm expert, it failed to withstand Shang Xia’s continuous refinement, especially when it had the help of the Crimson Soul Tablet.

With an angry grunt, the soul embedded by the Martial Emptiness Realm expert dissipated.

Shang Xia didn’t just get rid of the soul of the Sage. In fact, he completely eradicated the mark of the Martial Emptiness Realm Sage on the Spirit Light World.

In the brief moment he used to do that, the intense change in the Spirit Light World’s World Origin Source alerted every single True Immortal present.

The high-level True Immortals who were greeting the sixth tier True Immortal from the superior world couldn’t care less about what was going on outside and they quickly returned. The first thing they did was lock on to Shang Xia’s position and surround him completely.

Faced with the aggressive assault of 3 native high-level True Immortals, Shang Xia merely looked up and scoffed, “Are you 3 planning to destroy half the Spirit Light World?”

As he spoke, Shang Xia didn’t hide his aura. A terrifying aura emerged. Even though he was suppressed by the World’s Will, the sheer outburst struck terror in their hearts.

All 3 of them, who were about to commence their offensive, stopped suddenly.

Shang Xia couldn’t help but sneer when he saw their movements stagnating. Using the Crimson Soul Tablet, he absorbed a third of the world origin contained in the World Origin Source to the continent. Once he was done, he used the Five Element Movement Art to leave the world. When he reappeared, he was already more than 10,000 miles away from the heavenly screen.

Almost instantly, a wave erupted in the void behind him, crashing towards him with overwhelming force.

At the same time, a thunderous voice exploded in his ears, “Who the hell is this barbarian?! How dare you wreak havoc in my Essence Chong Heavenly Field? You’re seeking death!”

Shang Xia snorted coldly and formed a hand seal. As soon as he turned around, he pushed his palms forward and unleashed Void Seal.

The space around him solidified instantly and it shattered the incoming wave.

Looking in the distant void where the sixth tier True Immortal appeared astonished, Shang Xia turned to look at the heavenly screen where the 3 high-level True Immortals just emerged. He couldn’t help but scoff again. “Clowns. You guys weren’t even aware that a Sage left a strand of soul in the World Origin Source. Today, I helped you guys to erase the trace of his soul and prevented a disaster from befalling your world. The repayment of a third of the World Origin Source connected to a continent is payment enough. There’s no need for further courtesies.”

Without regarding the changing expressions of the sixth tier True Immortal and those who had just emerged from the heavenly screen, Shang Xia vanished into the void.
