Chapter 1794: Spirit Tip World’s Split

As the world continued to grow and advance, the internal planning of the Essence Luxuriant World also evolved constantly in response to its expanding needs.

Just like how the role of the Spirit Tip World had shifted, from being an ally of the former Spirit Luxuriant World in resisting external invasions, to becoming a target for assimilation into the Essence Luxuriant Heavenly Field.

To prevent the Spirit Tip World from falling into the Essence Du World’s hands first, Shang Xia departed the moment he received the news.

Shortly after Shang Xia’s departure, under the leadership of Gao Qin, Song Zhen, and Huang Jinghan, a fleet was rapidly assembled under Kou Chongxue’s orders. It consisted of their large-scale Star Ship and their Spirit Ark as they set out in a grand formation towards the coordinates of the Spirit Tip World.

As for the Essence Luxuriant World’s other high-level True Immortals... Gu Mingzheng was still recuperating from injuries sustained during the battle of the relocation of the Azure Qing World Although he had been acknowledged by the World’s Will and was now considered no different from native cultivators, he had clearly shown reluctance to participate in this operation. His newly established sect sent only a few elderly or weaker Martial Extermination Realm and Martial Dipper Realm cultivators. They barely fulfilled their obligations.

As for Xiao Yugang, who had just broken through to the fourth tier, was still in closed door cultivation within the Spirit Qing World and hadn’t been summoned by Kou Chongxue for the expedition.

After leaving the Essence Luxuriant World, Shang Xia first met up with his Origin Star Avatar.

Following the ascension of the Azure Qing World to the Spirit Qing World and the formation of their Heavenly Field, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar had actually quietly departed to do something else.

As soon as they met up again, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar asked, “Why the rush to summon me back? I just met up with our spy in the Spirit Faith World. I didn’t expect to receive the call through the 7 suns right after...”

Though both had the ability to share their memories and thoughts, they still preferred face-to-face exchanges, mostly because of Shang Xia’s peculiar sense of humor.

Shang Xia quickly explained the imminent capture of the Spirit Tip World by the Essence Du World and its integration into a new Heavenly Field. Both of them didn’t hesitate and rushed straight to the coordinates of the Spirit Tip World.

Along the way, Shang Xia’s Star Compass started to react. Guided by it, they met up with Zhu Nang, who had returned with further intelligence.

Since the collapse of the Star Curtain, the chaotic streams surrounding it had been weakening, meaning the Heaven Observation Field could no longer be considered a proper Heavenly Field.

Because of that, the space rapidly expanded and the distance between the Essence Luxuriant World and Spirit Tip World grew a lot larger.

Even so, with 2 Sages rushing at full speed, they still arrived far quicker than in the days of sailing through the sea of stars on their Star Ships.

Yet when they arrived at the original coordinate of the Spirit Tip World with Zhu Nang back in tow, they found nothing but an empty void. The Spirit Tip World, along with the chaotic streams that protected them, had completely vanished.

"How long has it been since you left Spirit Tip World?" Shang Xia asked casually while surveying the empty void.

Zhu Nang looked equally surprised. "When I left, they just started moving... However, it didn’t move so quickly. It had only been 5 or 6 days. It shouldn’t have slipped out of the range of detection yet.”

The Spirit Tip World was no small world like the Azure Qing World. It was a powerful Spirit World at its peak state. There were 20 or so continents and 8 Elysiums. There were 6 or 7 high-level True Immortals and over 20 True Immortals, far stronger than the Spirit Luxuriant World before its forced ascension.

To move such a vast world required tenfold the effort of moving the Azure Qing World back then.

Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar looked at his true body and asked, "Did Sage Yan Yu personally act?"

Shang Xia nodded. "He probably wasn’t the only one. Don’t forget, the Spirit Tip World has its own powerful legacy. If they cooperated, with 2 to 3 dozen True Immortals working together, their movement would be a lot faster.”

Zhu Nang couldn’t help but interject, "That seems unlikely..."

Seeing both Shang Xia and his Origin Star Avatar turning to him, Zhu Nang gulped and continued, “This... The future of the Spirit Tip World has long been a topic of fierce internal debate. One side wanted to join the Essence Du World as a subordinate world, while the other sought to ally with us for protection."

"The arguments were ongoing, and though the side favoring the Essence Du World had the upper hand, there was no unified consensus. In fact, the reason I was informed and urged to return was because someone from the side that favored us secretly tipped me off. I doubt they would have cooperated with the Essence Du World during the realm’s migration. Just staying out of the way would’ve been a miracle."

Shang Xia paused and exchanged glances with his Origin Star Avatar. "How long have you been in the Spirit Tip World? When did Guan Ziqing die?"

Zhu Nang blinked. "I arrived a few months ago, shortly after the Azure Qing World campaign. Guan Ziqing passed away just 2 months ago. It’s said his vitality had long run dry. Ever since the battle at the mini Spirit Lyric World, he bhad arely held on for another year. His cultivation plummeted, and his last days were said to be painful."

Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar nodded. "Then it’s likely that the Spirit Tip World’s final shift in allegiance was tied to Guan Ziqing’s death."

Zhu Nang looked shocked. "That... That can’t be. According to Stargazer Xin, even after Guan Ziqing passed, many True Immortals continued visiting her. They offered kind words, and some even hinted they still wished to submit to our Essence Luxuriant World..."

"She was probably tricked." Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar cut him off coldly. "Is it hard to fool a Martial Dipper Realm cultivator?"

Zhu Nang’s face froze in disbelief. "Then... I’ve been in their world for a while now..."

Shang Xia chuckled. "That’s exactly it. They knew they couldn’t keep hiding it, so they let the truth slip, just enough for you to report it home. The goal was to get you out of their world. As for Xin Lu... A Grand Stargazer is too valuable, but she’s still at the Martial Dipper Realm at the end of the day. She won’t be able to cause too much trouble under their control.”
