Chapter 1734: Begin

Since Shang Xia could transfer his inner qi through the 7 suns, his Origin Star Avatar had a feeling he would be able to initiate a transfer back to his true body using the same method.

The moment the thought was born after the battle, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar started to experiment.

The result was gratifying. Indeed, the energy in his body managed to return to his true body through the connection of the 7 suns.

However, he was still an avatar at the end of the day. Even though he could communicate with the 7 suns, he couldn’t match the efficiency of transfer or the speed following the reverse flow.

But for his Origin Star Avatar, the loss incurred during the transmission process wasn’t a concern. The key issue was whether his channel of transmission could be established.

Once the method proved feasible, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar needed to consider how to timely collect and transmit the excessive essence lost from the mini Spirit Lyric World during compression to his true body.

It was known that the essence spilling from the mini Spirit Lyric World was not the same as his inner qi. He couldn’t absorb it into his dantian without refinement, and it would naturally not be able to undergo proper transmission.

Initially, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar thought it would be impossible and he would have to resort to Zhu Nang’s method of laying down the Essence Refining Void Returning Formation in order to retrieve all the leaked essence. However, his true body seemed to gain inspiration, and he managed to summon the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet.

The appearance of the Crimson Soul Tablet solved all his problems instantly.

Whether it was collecting the essence of the mini Spirit Lyric World lost during compression in a timely and large-scale manner, or refining and transmitting the collected essence to his true body, everything could be done through the Crimson Soul Tablet.

The transmission of a large amount of world essence wouldn't trouble Shang Xia at all. After all... The Crimson Soul Tablet could store an obscene amount of world origin, which was pretty much the essence of the world.

The essence of the mini Spirit Lyric World inherently possessed some characteristics of an Essence World, which the Crimson Soul Tablet wouldn’t refuse!

Moreover, during the process, Shang Xia could even allow the Crimson Soul Tablet to absorb world origin for its own uses. After all... The leaked essence would have been wasted anyway.

Soon, as one batch of survivors after another was evacuated from the mini Spirit Lyric World and temporarily settled on the Star Ship and Ark, the vessels quickly reached their capacity.

It was not until then that the Star Robe Incarnation learned from Song Zhen that the total population in the mini Spirit Lyric World had maintained a level of about 1,000,000 for over 100 years, with little fluctuation. It was clear that the high-level cultivators had always intentionally controlled the internal population size to avoid excessive resource consumption.

Although the number of survivors seemed like a substantial number, it was actually insignificant when compared to a world.

For example, before the creation of the Spirit Luxuriant World, the most devastated You Continent in the Azure Origin World still supported a population of close to that. It was only 1 of the 13 continents of the Azure World.

Over the decades, as Tongyou Institution rose, the You Continent gradually expanded from a corner to an even larger existence. In the Spirit Luxuriant World, it grew to a size of around 15,000 miles. Even though the population continued to grow, it was far from keeping up with the expansion. The You Continent could be considered sparsely populated at best.

With their efforts, the You Continent supported more than 100,000,000 people, nearly a hundred times the population of the mini Spirit Lyric World, not to mention the current population of the entire Spirit Luxuriant World.

Ignoring the price they had to pay, the Star Ship and Ark housed nearly several hundred thousand people each. They were mostly civilians who lived in the most dangerous areas as the mini Spirit Lyric World underwent compression.

Because of their actions, the Tongyou Institution almost completely quelled any lingering doubts within the mini Spirit Lyric World, convincing them that merging into the Spirit Luxuriant World might indeed be the best option for continuing their path of cultivation.

After all, if the members from the Spirit Luxuriant World were willing to go to great lengths to protect even ordinary civilians, there was no reason to believe they would allow the still-capable forces of the Spirit Lyric World to perish.

Once the potentially endangered civilians were evacuated, the members of the institution completed the modification of all the formation nodes under Chu Jia’s guidance.

Fortunately, their mini Spirit Lyric World was built on the foundations of an Elysium. It was only necessary for them to maintain the characteristics that started the transformation to that of an Essence World. With Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar’s abilities, the mini Spirit Lyric World started to be compressed to the level of an Elysium and to be sealed in the Ark.

To ensure the success of the compression and to alleviate as much pressure on Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar as possible, nearly every member of the Tongyou Institution in the Martial Dipper Realm and higher was mobilized. Almost every formation node was manned.

As Shang Xia’s Seven Star Qi began to pour into the mini Spirit Lyric World, everyone infused their inner qi to assist Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar with the process.

If someone could observe from 100,000 miles away at this moment, they would see tens of thousands of miles of void rippling like water, folding upon itself in waves.

At the same time, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar came into contact with the core of the World Origin Source of the mini Spirit Lyric World. Along with its compression, a massive amount of world essence started to seep out.

With the help of everyone, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar helped them to retain as much world essence as possible while using the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet to retrieve everything they failed to retain.
