Chapter 2069: The Constipated Crimson Soul Tablet

After he successfully shifted the strange energy out from inside the Desolate Forbidden Region across the field of restrictions, Shang Xia, though he had been highly confident beforehand, still felt exceptionally content once he received the first strand of energy.

Originally, Shang Xia had harbored some doubts as to whether merely using Shifting Dipper could draw the energy from within the Desolate Forbidden Region.

If his attempt failed, then the only way for him to obtain it would be to unleash his martial intent, Star Shifting Constellation Transformation.

Shang Xia could be certain that if he used his martial intent, he would definitely be able to draw the energy from within.

After all, earlier, he had even relocated a high-level Sage of the Taming Star Field without his notice. How much easier would it be to move mere energy?

However... If he did it, obtaining the strange energy wouldn’t be worth it. Unleashing his martial intent would drain him considerably, and it would take him a long time to recover.

To use his martial intent for a little energy was basically wasting energy for fun.

It was a different matter, however, if he was able to retrieve it with the seventh form of his Seven Star Mace Technique.

Be it how intricate it was, or the might it wielded, Shifting Dipper was far from comparable to his martial intent, the Star Shifting Constellation Technique.

Shifting Dipper was still a normal martial art at the end of the day. His consumption of inner qi was limited.

If he used Shifting Dipper once every few days merely to obtain a set amount of the energy contained in the Desolate Forbidden Region, it was entirely worth it.

After the first successful trial, when Shang Xia performed a second long-distance draw after a short interval, not only was he far more practiced, but the amount of energy he retrieved was several times the first. From both extractions, it was clear that neither the Sages of the Floating Star Region or the Taming Star Field noticed his actions. Most crucially, Wanggui was not exposed.

Soon after, Shang Xia remained on the Spirit Ark, awaiting news from the Sages of the Floating Star Region while continuing to draw energy from within the forbidden region at intervals.

Meanwhile, the fleet took the opportunity to complete the reception and formal registration of the survivors of the Essence Yue Heavenly Field, further expanding their scale.

Although they encountered members of the Floating Star Region many times while docked in the void, no one came to mess with them and both sides maintained basic restraint.

Without a doubt, everything resulted from the deterrence Shang Xia had established with the Sages of the Floating Star Region.

During that time, nearly every single True Immortal of the fleet, including the Cai siblings, were mobilized. Beyond gathering the survivors of the Essence Yue Heavenly Field, they made several trips to the ruins of their Heavenly Field and excavated several world fragments that still retained world origin.

However, those fragments were not large, and most came from the Spirit Worlds.

The reason the Cai siblings and others dared to pilot Star Ships to the ruins was naturally because the Beast Tide that destroyed the Essence Yue World had departed. Those remaining were no longer commanded by superior beasts and had scattered the moment they arrived.

This was, of course, because after the breaches from the Desolate Forbidden Region to the Floating Star Region were destroyed jointly by the Sages of the Floating Star Region along with Shang Xia, the link between the Taming Star Field and the Beast Tides was temporarily severed.

Without high-level experts controlling them, the Beast Emperors naturally wouldn’t attack a Heavenly Field for no reason. Moreover, they would start to move further from the Desolate Forbidden Region, the further the better. In fact, they would even leave the Floating Star Region, such that even if the passages were reopened, the experts of the Taming Star Field would be unable to find and control them.

That was perhaps another reason the Sages of the Floating Star Region insisted on destroying the breaches. They not only wished to cut off the link between those in the Taming Star Field controlling the beasts, but also wanted the Beast Emperors to bring their hordes far away. That way, their crisis would be dealt with.

As for where the Beast Tides would go after leaving... That wasn’t their concern.

Before long, the gathering and reorganization of the survivors of the Essence Yue Heavenly Field neared completion. In that span, Shang Xia also used Shifting Dipper to draw enough energy from within the forbidden region.

The Crimson Soul Tablet conveyed a feeling of satisfaction, but Shang Xia didn’t stop immediately. Instead, he continued to draw more energy and he refined them into solid origin qi crystals with the secret art he created. That way, he would be able to use them in the future.

His attention was no longer on his martial intent, or Wanggui, who had ventured deep into Desolate Forbidden Region. It wasn’t even on the expert of the Taming Star Field who was interrogated by Lu Xin and the rest. He had even put out of mind, for the time being, the orb Wanggui had left him that very likely contained information about the mastermind behind the creation of Beast Warriors.

That was because the Crimson Soul Tablet in his mind showed signs of being constipated!

According to past experience, after Shang Xia completed the comprehension of his martial intent, the Crimson Soul Tablet would begin to deduce his advancement formula!

However... Having experienced the stall that was brought about during the deduction of his martial intent, Shang Xia was already prepared that he would face some difficulties when coming up with his rank eight advancement formula.

However... This time, the Crimson Soul Tablet wasn’t even beginning to show the slightest bit of transformation. Not a single word appeared on its surface! Instead, it faintly pointed out a way forward. It started to crave the energy contained in the forbidden regions connecting the Chaotic Sea of Stars to the other Star Fields!

Without it, the process wouldn’t begin!
