Chapter 1643: Supporting The Heavens, World Ascension!

Without a doubt, Shang Xia was planning to forcibly initiate the Spirit Luxuriant World’s ascension by using his martial intent like what he had done in the Azure Ruling World.

However... The Spirit Luxuriant World wasn’t the Azure Ruling World! Shang Xia’s martial intent was able to force an Azure World to ascend, but pushing a Spirit World into an Essence World was at least 10 times more difficult!

Yet, even so, Shang Xia proceeded without a second thought, clearly confident in his abilities.

When Shang Xia first forcibly initiated the ascension of the Azure Ruling World, the continents hadn’t even reached a state of perfection. The Spirit Luxuriant World already completed the requirement, and it was ostensibly easier to reach the threshold for ascension compared to the Azure Ruling World.

The second point was that in the Azure Ruling World, it was Shang Xia’s first time attempting such a feat. He had little confidence, and he succeeded by a mere fluke. With the experience, Shang Xia was much more adept at using his martial intent to forcefully initiate the ascension process.

Finally... Shang Xia was confident in himself because this time, he was unleashing his martial intent through the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet!

It might be a mere projection, but the second it was summoned, the might it possessed far surpassed Shang Xia’s Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar in the Azure Ruling World.

"What is that? What is he doing?" Outside the Northern Sea Elysium, True Immortal Hou stared at the figure in the skies using his eye technique. He might be thousands of miles away, but he felt the terrifying feat the figure just accomplished. The sense of superiority he usually felt over cultivators from lower worlds shattered like glass.

He suddenly realized that the grand completion stage True Immortal he had assumed to be a lucky fool and lacked a systematic and comprehensive martial arts heritage, and couldn't possibly have any substantial foundation in just a few decades, displayed a level of power he knew he couldn’t match. The martial intent that was used was beyond his comprehension.

The embarrassment of having his sense of superiority shattered under others' watch turned into a frustration that made True Immortal Hou feel an urge to rage.

True Immortal Hou and Gao Qin weren’t the only ones who were confused. Zhang Xuansheng, Yang Taihe, and Li Jidao also didn’t know what Shang Xia was planning to do.

Yet, that didn’t prevent them from being shocked at the might Shang Xia displayed. It seemed to contain the power to dominate the Spirit Luxuriant World!

They had thought that the aura Shang Xia released back then above the heavenly screen was already the limit of his abilities, but from what he was showing, that was clearly a mistake. The fact was right in front of them! He showed that he was even stronger than they imagined!

Soon.. They would understand what Shang Xia planned to do with the projection he summoned.

As Shang Xia plunged the projection forcefully into the Spirit Luxuriant World through the You Continent, the World Origin Source connected to the continent started to overflow. World origin quickly started to spread to the neighboring continents, quickly filling up the World Origin Sources connected to the Bing Continent, Ji Continent, and Ji Continents.

Simultaneously, the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet connected the heavens and earth, leading to the extension and spatial expansion of the You Continent as the world started to transform into an Essence World. The trend continued to spread to the other continents nearby.

More importantly, although Shang Xia had previously used up most of the world origin from the Essence Worlds stored in the Crimson Soul Tablet, leaving just a tiny bit, it was enough to serve as a catalyst for a qualitative change in the World Origin Source.

As Shang Xia first forcibly stimulated the transformation of the surrounding continents surrounding the You Continent, the World Origin Source of the You Continent slowly started its growth.

As he injected a strand of world origin he had collected from his visit to the Essence Xing World, Essence Du World, Essence Ping World, and other Essence Worlds, the transformation of the World Origin Source started to speed up. It reached a state where the transformation process could no longer stop.

Although the transformation of the World Origin Source connected to the You Continent might only be considered a drop in the ocean when taking the Spirit Luxuriant World into account, but the important thing was that the process had started!

There was no stopping it once it began. The World Origin Source would start to transform until it became that of an Essence World.

"How is it so fast?!" True Immortal Hou suddenly turned back to look at Zhang Xuansheng, Yang Taihe, and Li Jidao.

To that, Zhang Xuansheng could only shake his head and sigh, "Bound by the oath, we cannot give up nourishing the World Origin Source while we still have the ability to.”

True Immortal Hou said in a grave tone, "I'm not asking you to break your oath, but how you choose to nourish the World Origin Source with the energy your Elysiums accumulated is still up to you.”

That was the first countermeasure True Immortal Hou had discussed when talking about Shang Xia's forced ascension.

However, the 3 True Immortals exchanged strange glances and looked troubled.

"We tried to direct all the energy into the You Continent...” Zhang Xuansheng was forced to reveal the truth under the persistent gaze of True Immortal Hou.

"Yet not only were we unable to affect the World Origin Source connected to the You Continent, but they were swept away and evenly distributed to the World Origin Source connected to the various continents...” Yang Taihe sighed softly, finishing the sentence that Zhang Xuansheng had left unsaid.

"How is that possible?!" True Immortal Hou refused to believe it, "The combined force of 3 Elysiums that have hundreds of years of foundations will fill the World Origin Source connected to any continent in an instant. The resulting impact should have been enough to shake the entire world! How can it not even affect the World Origin Source connected to the You Continent?”

True Immortal Hou paused, changing his tone, "You guys aren’t having second thoughts, are you?”

Li Jidao couldn’t help but yell, "If we had regrets, why would we still be here with you? The fact is as it is, even if you don't believe us, we can't do anything about it!"

True Immortal Hou snorted and was about to say more, but a soft cough from behind interrupted him. Gao Qin's voice rang out, "Senior Brother Hou, perhaps it's because of the martial intent True Immortal Shang just displayed? I also heard that there’s a rank six Formation Grandmaster in the Tongyou Institution. They might have laid out formations in advance to stop the schemes of the other Elysiums.”

"Rank six Formation Grandmaster?" True Immortal Hou muttered, "I didn't expect an inferior Spirit World to possess a rank six Formation Grandmaster...”

Gao Qin smiled apologetically at the 3 True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World. Zhang Xuansheng and the others merely looked into the distance with an indifferent expression, as though they didn’t hear what True Immortal Hou said.

Soon after, True Immortal Hou continued, "Since they managed to fend off the infusion of world origin... We’ll just have to see how long they can last with their insufficient foundation. Of course... Maybe they won’t run out of potential before that guy is devoured by the world...”

However, as if deliberately contradicting True Immortal Hou's words, within a few days, more and more world origin that came from Essence Worlds started to spread from the You Continent. True Immortal Hou nearly went crazy and the 3 great Elysium True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World were also struck with disbelief.

"What on earth happened? How can the World Origin Source continue to transform when it isn’t even full?!” True Immortal Hou questioned Zhang Xuansheng and the others again, but seeing them look at each other, he turned his gaze back to Gao Qin.

Gao Qin was also confused and faced True Immortal Hou's pressing gaze with only a bitter smile and a puzzled look.

"The transformation is a gradual process. It won’t be possible for it to be completed instantly. Moreover, it will also take a long time for the world origin to reach all the continents from the You Continent...” Gao Qin pondered while speaking.

True Immortal Hou, visibly agitated, snapped, "What are you trying to say? And how can you be sure the transformation originated from the You Continent?”

Gao Qin shook her head. "I can't be certain, but since True Immortal Shang dared to forcefully initiate the ascension process, he definitely has something to rely on. Maybe it’s something that can allow the transformation process to be completed easily!”

“If the transformation truly started from the You Continent, it might have already been completed several days ago!”
