Chapter 1650: Seven Star Spirit Setting Pill Pt.2

Shang Xia was not intentionally setting a trap. Although he was aware that the ascension of the world could complement a cultivator's breakthrough to the Seventh Order, he did not know that a cultivator needed to involve their soul in the process right at the beginning of the ascension.

Or rather, the connection between the ascension and the cultivator's breakthrough to the Seventh Order should have instinctively occurred at the second the world ascension process started. However... Shang Xia’s method of advancement and the Spirit Luxuriant World’s process of ascension were clearly different from the norm.

That led to the misjudgment by the high-level True Immortals of the Essence Ming World. Hou Xingfeng and Gao Qin invaded the You Continent, assuming that Shang Xia wouldn’t be able to lift a finger to stop them. Even though they eventually escaped, they were heavily injured by Shang Xia. Their foundations were also affected, and they wouldn’t be able to interfere with matters related to the Spirit Luxuriant World any longer. With the assurance, Shang Xia started his breakthrough process.

Before that, however, Shang Xia needed to concoct his advancement medicine, the Seven Star Spirit Setting Pill.

Under normal circumstances, concocting a rank seven advancement medicine would be a daunting task. However, in the current situation, he could utilize the power of the Spirit Luxuriant World’s Will to complete the process.

Creating his Seven Star Spirit Setting Pill was fundamentally different from other advancement medicines. Instead of starting off with the most potent main ingredients, he started with the soul he branded into the You Continent that existed deep in the world. It served as the foundation of the advancement medicine.

As soon as he touched the part of his soul he left in the World Origin Source, the World’s Will seemed to understand what Shang Xia planned to do. Massive amounts of world origin started to converge around the skies above the You Continent.

As Shang Xia began to draw on the world origin, he noticed that parts of the World Origin Source that had already completed its transformation had started to pour world origin back towards the World Origin Source of the You Continent.

The sudden movement of world origin source couldn’t be hidden from Zhang Xuansheng and the others. They might be attempting to block the transformation of the World Origin Source connected to the other continents, but they didn’t actually know what was going on.

After Hou Xingfeng and Gao Qin were heavily injured by the True Immortals of the Tongyou Institution, they didn’t run back to the Northern Sea Elysium. As such, Zhang Xuansheng and the rest failed to gain the latest update on the situation in the You Continent.

The Elysium True Immortals tried to contact the 2, but their transmission went unanswered, like stones thrown into the sea.

All 3 of them sensed something wrong the second the violent disturbance above the You Continent subsided. If Hou Xingfeng and Gao Qin were successful, there was no way they would ignore their allies.

"What should we do?" Li Jidao's clone reappeared in Northern Sea Elysium and immediately asked Yang Taihe and Zhang Xuansheng.

Both high-level Elysium True Immortals fell silent, fully aware that when Hou Xingfeng and Gao Qin appeared in the You Continent, they had completely fallen out with the Tongyou Institution. Allowing 2 high-level True Immortals in their world wasn’t something that could be done without the knowledge of high-level Elysium True Immortals born from the world itself.

After a long pause, Zhang Xuansheng broke the silence. "There’s no emergence of power above the seventh rank in the skies above the You Continent...”

Li Jidao turned to him and frowned. "What are you implying?"

Zhang Xuansheng spoke solemnly, "As a sixth tier True Immortal, Hou Xingfeng definitely holds a high position in the Essence Ming World. Since he came specially for matters concerning an alliance between our world and the Essence Ming World, it’s impossible for him not to possess a trump card left by Sage Gu.”

Li Jidao couldn’t help but mutter, "Maybe they didn’t even have the chance to activate the trump card when facing Shang Xia...”

Finally, Yang Taihe spoke, "That shouldn’t be the case. It’s more likely that Hou Xingfeng deliberately didn’t reveal his last resort."

Zhang Xuansheng added, "There's only one possibility then. Hou Xingfeng might have lost to Shang Xia but has successfully withdrawn from the You Continent and is now hiding, waiting for the right moment to strike again."

Li Jidao shook his head. "I don’t understand! If Hou Xingfeng couldn’t defeat Shang Xia, why not just use Sage Gu’s treasure to put an end to him?! Wouldn’t that solve all our problems?! What’s the point of waiting for another chance? What other chance can there be?”

Yang Taihe thought for a second and mumbled, "That’s probably a question for Hou Xingfeng and Gao Qin."

Zhang Xuansheng also added, "Heh... They probably just want to get more out of us!"

As he spoke, they fell silent again.

After some time, Li Jidao finally spoke. However, there was hint of bitterness in his tone. "I hope we are doing the right thing..."

Coming from him, the remark surprised the others and even caused their hearts to waver a little. Li Jidao had always been the most determined when it came to opposing the Tongyou Institution. However, even someone like him was starting to question himself.

"About our blockade of the World Origin Sources...” Yang Taihe also thought of something and asked.

"Let it go. There’s no need to continue the blockade," Zhang Xuansheng said indifferently.

Most of the world origin that pushed for the transformation of the World Origin Source had started to converge back to the You Continent, rendering their efforts meaningless.

Yang Taihe nodded in agreement. "That’s better. But let’s not stop replenishing the World Origin Source. If the unexpected really happens... This might serve as a means to ease our relations with the Tongyou Institution.”

Zhang Xuansheng and Li Jidao looked at Yang Taihe but remained silent. After a moment, the clones disappeared, leaving only Zhang Xuansheng.

Almost simultaneously, as the 3 Elysiums ceased their blockade of world origin from leaving the 5 continents, Shang Xia managed to reach the third step of medicine crafting. He extracted a strand of origin light that was extracted from the suns from the fifth Star Chart and infused it into the fluctuating world origin at his feet.

As the process unfolded, Shang Xia was struck with sudden insight as he raised his head to look up into the skies. He saw 7 bright spots flickering in the depths of the void, forming the Big Dipper formation.

It wasn’t because the 7 suns had suddenly started to release more light. Instead, Shang Xia established a subtle connection with those celestial bodies.

Those 7 suns started to undergo some sort of strange transformation. It was just that the change wasn’t too obvious considering their massive existence.

As Shang Xia fused the origin light with the soul he left behind, he started to feel a pull from the depths of the void that was dragging it out from the World Origin Source.
