Chapter 736: Liu Jingsheng

The Yuanchen Sect’s choice to upgrade their Xiangyang Holy Land at that point seemed to be taking advantage of the situation, but one couldn’t deny that it was one of their most effective methods to deal with the danger they were facing.

No matter how unwilling the other Holy Lands were, they had to think of the bigger picture. It was especially so after the 3 Elysiums had spoken. They had to close their eyes and steel their hearts as the world origin they retrieved from various channels started to flow past the World’s Will and into the Xiangyang Holy Land.

There was no hope for World Ascension at that point. Everything they did to prepare for the new world’s promotion to a Spirit World went down the drain…

Luckily, many factions had already noticed that the situation wasn’t very optimistic to begin with. When the Tongyou Institution cut off their connection to the World’s Will back then due to the ‘serious accident’ that occurred, they managed to retain quite a bit of world origin and origin essence.

Chu Jia wanted to use them to further strengthen the Tongyou Paradise, and it would be for the best if they could use the world origin and origin essence to nurture a new batch of treasures as that could directly strengthen the Tongyou Institution’s foundations.

Unfortunately, that was nothing but fat hope as they had to assist with the Xiangyang Holy Land’s ascension.

Fortunately for the Tongyou Institution, they wouldn’t have to weaken their foundations when gathering world origin for the Xiangyang Holy Land. Compared to the other factions who hadn’t made preparations, they fared a whole lot better.

Of course those only referred to the Holy Lands in both worlds. They couldn’t compare themselves to the 3 Elysiums in the slightest. The 3 Elysiums had close to 1000 years of accumulations and their reserves weren’t something the Tongyou Institution could imagine.

Holy Lands of the Azure Worlds would be hard-pressed to give up their world origin to assist the Xiangyang Holy Land’s ascension. Most of them would see the space in their Holy Lands shrinking after they coughed up what was needed.

With the assistance of the Elysiums and Holy Lands from the Azure Worlds, the Xiangyang Holy Land received an unprecedented boost and quickly made the attempt.

Within the Xiangyang Holy Land, a hearty-looking elder stood in the center of the space with his hands clasped behind his back.

World origin gathered around him before splitting off to other spots in the Holy Land.

Chaotic world origin that came from many sources were purified after passing through his body once. The moment they did, they received some special qualities of the Xiangyang Holy Land and could then be absorbed directly into the space it contained.

Throughout the process, the person standing there also received huge benefits. The aura that emerged from his body became several times thicker and stronger. In fact, there was a trace of majesty about to be born!

Welcoming the change, the figure seemed to slowly blend into the Holy Land.

“Sigh…” A soft sigh rang through the air and if anyone tried to focus on it, they would feel like it was a passing illusion.

…

The Yuanchen Sect laid their cards out on the table at the final moment and the Azure Worlds weren’t the only ones who were shocked. The experts of the Spirit Abundance World were also greatly taken aback by the change.

Naturally, both sides didn’t stop fighting despite the surprise they were feeling. However, the exchanges weren’t as violent as before and both sides seemed to be waiting expectantly for something to happen.

Shang Bo and Shang Xia, who were hiding at the fringes of the experts of the Azure Worlds, sent out an attack each at their opponents while communicating through voice transmissions.

“With the ascension of the Xiangyang Holy Land, they should possess another existence in the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm. Who could it be?” Shang Xia asked.

Shang Bo’s low voice rang in his mind the next moment. “He isn’t some random nobody in our world. Patriarch Kou once spoke of that person, and he’s called Liu Jingsheng. He’s the real patriarch of the Yuanzhen Sect and he hasn’t shown his face for more than 100 years. There shouldn’t be many people who have heard of him… However, he had already refined 5 fate dippers before his disappearance and he was considered the strongest expert under the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm. None of us can imagine how far his cultivation had progressed.”

“If he’s really attempting to take the next step while making use of the Xiangyang Holy Land’s ascension, he should probably be at the large completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm at the very least. He might have already comprehended his martial intent to become a grand completion stage expert…” Shang Bo concluded.

Shang Xia gasped in fright after hearing Liu Jingsheng’s cultivation level. However, he seemed to be thinking in another direction after hearing what Shang Bo said. “Grandpa, if Liu Jingsheng is planning to step into the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm with the help of his faction’s ascension, wouldn’t that mean that he would become like Deputy Patriarch Ji? He wouldn’t be able to leave his Elysium!”

“Of course he would be restricted if that was the case. However, Patriarch Kou made some guesses in the past. The restriction placed on them by an Elysium might be different from a Holy Land. Experts who are restricted by their Holy Lands wouldn’t be able to leave their continents, but by extension, an Elysium covers a much larger area and is built on the World’s foundations. Even if they are still restrained, they should be able to move about a far larger area…”

Pointing upwards, Shang Bo continued, “Take a look. The 3 supreme existences from the 3 Elysiums could send their powers so far to seal off an area as large as this so far away from the Heavenly Screen around our world…”

Shang Xia nodded subconsciously before gasping softly, “So… Did the 3 supreme existences also enter the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm with the help of their Elysiums?”

“That is also something Patriarch Kou had guessed. If not for the fact that the supreme beings of the Eternal Palace and Divine Capital Sect are restricted by some sort of formless power, how will the other Holy Lands come into being in our Azure Origin World back then?”

“If that’s the case, Liu Jingsheng might not have entered the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm… Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to break through like that.” Shang Xia mumbled.

Taking himself as an example, Shang Xia felt that if he had a cultivation level at the grand completion stage of the Martial Dipper Realm, there was no way he would be willing to place shackles on himself by breaking through with the help of the Elysium. After all, doing so would mean that he was severing his future path of cultivation.

Shang Bo shook his head and sighed, “You might actually be wrong. Your cultivation has been smooth the entire way and you didn’t face any bottlenecks so far. Back then, Liu Jingsheng was also full of mettle. He was confident he could break through the restraints of the Martial Dipper Realm and enter the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm with his own abilities. Even so, he disappeared for close to 100 years trying to search for his path forward. With his lifespan growing shorter and shorter, what choice does he have?”

Shang Xia fell silent immediately. He had the Crimson Soul Tablet and with enough world origin, he could raise his cultivation level to a certain level without facing any resistance due to its ability to deduce complete advancement formulas. Obviously, he had no fear…

Shang Bo and Shang Xia were slowly retreating towards the edges of the battle due to their low cultivation level when another change happened in the sealed space.

Profound light poured out from the spatial tunnels as another 8 experts in the Martial Dipper Realm arrived.

The situation turned even more desperate for those from the Azure Worlds.

When the 8 newcomers were about to join in the battle, they were stopped by an expert on their side. They were given other instructions and under the shocked gazes of those from the Azure Worlds, they turned to fly towards the Beyond Heavens Pavilion of the new world.

Shang Bo and Shang Xia weren’t the only ones who guessed their intentions. None of those present were idiots. The experts of the Spirit Abundance World were clearly sent over to prevent the ascension of the Xiangyang Holy Land to prevent the birth of a fourth expert at the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm!

Their movement wasn’t exactly bad news to the experts from the Azure Worlds. It proved that the appearance of another existence in the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm would threaten the plans made by the Spirit Abundance World!

Realizing that point, the experts of the Azure Worlds wouldn’t allow any of them to approach the Beyond Heavens Pavilion. If given the chance, those cultivators would also bring great harm to the new world!

Before the others could react, the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the 3 Elysiums roared to stop those on their side.

…

The 8 experts from the Spirit Abundance World approached the Beyond Heavens Pavilion with great gusto but more than 10 powerful auras appeared. Despite their strength, at least 5 of them were affected by the sudden sneak attack. 2 of them were completely fucked as they were slain immediately and 3 others were heavily injured.

Almost every single faction had retained a portion of their Martial Dipper Realm experts previously and even though most of them had to remain behind in order to oversee matters regarding their factions or because they were restricted by their Holy Lands, defending the Beyond Heavens Pavilion of their world was no problem at all.

Even though those people who were restrained by their Holy Lands could be said to have severed their path of cultivation and had no hopes of entering the Sixth Order of the Primary Realm, that didn’t mean that they couldn’t grow stronger in the Martial Dipper Realm.

An example would be people like Yun Lu or Hua Lu from the White Deer Paradise. Before he started to scheme against the Tongyou Institution, Yun Lu was a powerful expert at the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm! Hua Lu wasn’t far behind as she had a cultivation level in the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm. Even though they had to remain in the Ji Continent, they possessed pretty formidable combat strength.

Those experts who remained behind took action at the last second and prevented the Xiangyang Holy Land’s ascension from being disrupted.

Naturally, the Spirit Abundance World wouldn’t back down easily. Profound light poured out from the spatial tunnels once again and another 6 Martial Dipper Realm experts arrived. 2 of them had cultivation bases in the fourth element of the Martial Dipper Realm or higher, and they arrived through a spatial tunnel each. The other 4 came in pairs.

As soon as the 6 of them arrived, they ignored the battle that was going on as they sped towards the Beyond Heavens Pavilion 30000 miles away.
