Chapter 1660: Alliances

Within the Heaven Observation Field, there was more than a single world that had Stargazer inheritance. However, from the looks of it, the Spirit Luxuriant World would be the easiest target.

Yet, they had to admit that despite the obvious trap set by the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World. They had no choice but to jump straight in.

"Even though our senses are distorted in the chaotic streams, as long as we form our battle formations before entering, we should still be able to counter the chaos.” True Immortal Pei was the first to speak. "Right now, the best strategy for us is to form a battle formation with our strongest experts to force our way into the space around the Spirit Luxuriant World. However, I believe we have our concerns and it will be best to proceed with those we trust.”

After the spoke, the group of 7 from the Spirit Observation World who seemed the weakest formed their battle formation around Pei Lu before charging straight into the chaotic streams.

A high-level True Immortal from the Spirit Mammoth World asked Yuan Chan, “She... What is she relying on? Did Zhuo Gudao leave some mysterious trump card with her?”

Yuan Chan casually replied, "Heh... Who do you think in the Heaven Observation Field has the most complete and highest mastery of the Stargazer inheritance?”

After thinking for a moment, the high-level True Immortal who spoke earlier continued, "Are you suggesting that the Star Origin Dao Field has superior Stargazers who can suppress those from the Spirit Luxuriant World? Why are they passing through the chaotic streams instead of setting up a spatial tunnel then?”

Yuan Chan answered nonchalantly, "That is because this is the void around the Spirit Luxuriant World. Their Stargazers have the geographical advantage. Even if those from the Star Origin Dao Field can suppress them, they can at most help Pei Lu and the others to find a clear path. They will never be able to avoid detection if they created a spatial tunnel.”

A look of joy appeared on the face of the high-level True Immortal. “So... The Star Origin Dao Field has the strongest Stargazers!”

Yuan Chan then gave him a sideways glance and said dryly, "Zhuo Gudao is in charge of the Star Origin Dao Field. You better think twice before doing anything stupid.”

The high-level True Immortal chuckled awkwardly.

Yuan Chan’s gaze shifted in another direction and he continued, "The Spirit Abundance World is about to move. We’ll follow them.”

The high-level True Immortal who spoke earlier looked at those from the Spirit Thistle World and Spirit Tinkle World before raising his chin slightly. “What about them?”

Yuan Chan sneered coldly, "Don’t bother with them, they’ll enter as well!"

...

"All we can do is to buy some time."

Inside the chaotic streams, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World had already gathered. Kou Chongxue cleared his throat before explaining to the others their intention to pick off the battle formations.

"Are we just delaying time?" Huang Jinghan, the first among the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World to openly support Kou Chongxue and Shang Xia, was also the first to question. "How long do we need to delay? Will Shang Xia complete his advancement soon?”

Kou Chongxue managed a weak smile, "You might not be aware, but Gu Yi from the Essence Ming World has already given Shang Xia great assistance, greatly shortening the time required for his breakthrough.”

As Kou Chongxue spoke, the other True Immortals turned their gaze towards Gao Qin, who was standing with Shang Xia’s External Avatar.

Gao Qin remained silent at that. Her expression was cold, which inadvertently lent more credibility to the speculation about a possible agreement between Shang Xia and Gu Yi.

However, as that was a matter of great importance, even with Kou Chongxue’s personal assurance, everyone still felt uncertain without a defined timeframe.

At this moment, Shang Xia’s External Avatar spoke up with a smile, "All you need to do is delay as long as possible while ensuring your safety. My true body will handle the rest.”

His statement made the others exchange strange glances.

Feng Ziying hesitantly asked, "You... Do you still have the strength to fight?”

Everyone looked at Shang Xia’s External Avatar with surprise, partly because of Feng Ziying's astonishment and partly because of his aura which was no weaker than that of a fifth tier True Immortal.

Shang Xia’s External Avatar smile but didn’t respond to Feng Ziying’s question. “There’s also something else you should know. Your reinforcements are coming soon!”

"Reinforcements, from outside the Heaven Observation Field?" Feng Ziying quickly voiced what everyone was thinking.

The External Avatar replied with a smile, "Indeed, from outside, but they are not association with any Essence Worlds or connection to any Sage.”

Feng Ziying wanted to ask more, but at that moment, Kou Chongxue’s Star Compass suddenly trembled, prompting him to chuckle, "Someone has entered the chaotic streams; the rest is up to you all!"

The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World began to move according to their prearranged strategy.

Pei Lu led the True Immortals from the Star Origin Dao Field into the chaotic streams, advancing swiftly as if unaffected by the disturbances and disarray.

"True Immortal Pei?" Liu Jiuzhen softly called from behind when the time seemed right.

Pei Lu exclaimed, "Is the Spirit Luxuriant World reacting this quickly? It seems that the part of the Stargazer inheritance that was stolen from the observatory was indeed deciphered by them."

Though that was what she said, Pei Lu still opened an umbrella-shaped treasure. The True Immortals of the Star Origin Dao Field followed suit.

The moment the 7 umbrella-shaped treasures were deployed, they connected instantly, and Pei Lu and the others disappeared into the chaotic streams.

Meanwhile, the True Immortals from the Spirit Luxuriant World formed 2 teams.

The first team, led by Kou Chongxue, Gao Qin, and Shang Xia’s External Avatar, was primarily responsible for striking at enemies. The second team handled subsequent support, cover, flank, and retreat.

Kou Chongxue, originally leading the way, paused for a moment before continuing to guide the group deeper into the chaotic streams.

"The Star Compass isn’t pointing there anymore!” Kou Chongxue communicated to Shang Xia’s External Avatar.

"I know, someone is suppressing Xin Lu and Yan Ming with their stargazing techniques." The External Avatar responded.

"It won’t be hard to guess who they are then. They’re definitely from the Star Origin Dao Field. Only they can possibly surpass us in the art of stargazing...” Kou Chongxue sighed.

Shang Xia’s External Avatar added, "There’s something you don’t know yet; actually, right now, only Xin Lu and Yan Ming are confronting the Grand Stargazers from the Star Origin Dao Field. Little Yuan... He fainted.”

"Huh?! What happened?" Kou Chongxue frowned.

In a helpless voice, Shang Xia’s External Avatar explained, "He saw Gu Yi earlier, and then he passed out.”
