Chapter 987: Discovering the Spirituality of the East
“Did you discover something?” Huang Yu asked.
Shang Xia shook his head slowly. However, he still asked, “Which world does that camp over there belong to?”
Huang Yu thought for a moment, but he eventually shook his head. He spent half a day going around to gather information, but he only focused on the Azure Oddity World. He didn’t know too much about the other worlds.
“There seems to be intense spatial fluctuations that have been lasting a long time in that direction. They seem to be hiding it well, but it’s not exactly undetectable. They’re either retreating on a large scale, or they’re sending a new batch of reinforcements over...” Shang Xia muttered.
“Do you think the cultivators from the Azure Beginning World are retreating?” Huang Yu asked.
“When we arrived, we were most likely the last batch of reinforcements the Spirit Abundance World sent. Other than peak-tier Spirit Worlds like the Spirit Abundance World, are there any other worlds that have the ability to send more reinforcements? I’m afraid only the Spirit Mammoth World will be able to do so...” Shang Xia thought to himself.
Nodding, Huang Yu added, “The possibility of the Spirit Mammoth World sending reinforcements at this time is pretty low. It seems like the Azure Beginning World is getting afraid...”
“Let’s hope that they manage to get away! Let’s go! The situation in the Azure Oddity World is pretty much set and we don’t have much time left!” Shang Xia whispered. After he spoke, he turned to fly towards the Azure Oddity World.
Huang Yu stared at Shang Xia’s back and grumbled helplessly, “This brat... Even I have to listen to him now...” He shook his head with a bitter smile before turning into a streak of light to fly after Shang Xia.
After the heavenly screen of the Azure Oddity World was shattered, the experts of the various worlds completely took over every other inch of land that wasn’t controlled by Meng Yuanxiu’s sect. They already started to filter the experts of the Azure Oddity World.
Fortunately, Shang Xia and Huang Yu had the identity token from the Heaven Embroidery Palace and they managed to enter the Central Continent of the Azure Oddity World.
The Central Continent was supposed to be the true core of the Azure Oddity World and it used to be the most prosperous region. However, it looked desolate when Shang Xia and Huang Yu arrived. It was as though the apocalypse arrived and even the description ‘bare as bones, lifeless for a thousand miles’ wasn’t enough to describe it.
The scene of destruction didn’t come as a surprise as anyone who took part in the battle in the Azure Oddity World was at the very least in the Martial Extermination Realm. That was the lowest realm one had to be before they could undergo long-range spatial transfer, and they would be part of the combat force from the weaker Azure Worlds.
For worlds like the Spirit Abundance World and Spirit Mammoth World, their main combat ability was made up of Martial Dipper Realm experts.
When Martial Extermination Realm and Martial Dipper Realm experts went all out, it was hard to maintain the world in one piece.
“Is this what it looks like when a world is being invaded?” Shang Xia mumbled while staring at the bleak world before him. He turned to look at Huang Yu suddenly and asked, “If the Spirit Abundance World succeeded in their invasion of our Spirit Luxuriant World back then, would this be what we would be looking at?”
Huang Yu’s expression sank and he muttered in a low voice, “No. It will only be worse than this!”
Seeing how Shang Xia was still staring at the scene of destruction around, Huang Yu continued, “That’s because our Spirit Luxuriant World is stronger than the Azure Oddity World. As such, our resistance will only be fiercer and more resolute. Naturally... Battles of such scale will only cause more destruction!”
“So... We have to prevent anything like this from happening to us!” Shang Xia growled.
In his indifferent voice, Huang Yu added, “We can only ensure we keep growing stronger then...”
Nodding slowly, Shang Xia handed the Spirituality of the North to Huang Yu. “It’s hard to determine if the Four Extremity Spirituality is a rank four, five, or six treasure. The Four Extremity Spirituality of the Spirit Abundance World might be different from the Azure Oddity World, but you can use this as your reference. I will have to trouble you to retrieve any if you find them in the West and North. I’ll head to the East and South!”
Huang Yu kept the Spirituality of the North while chuckling, “Relax... Anyway, I can tell that this Spirituality of the North is something special. You’re not getting this sample back!”
Shang Xia waved his hand casually to bid Huang Yu farewell.
Roaring with laughter, Huang Yu flew towards the north. However, his voice still rang clearly in Shang Xia’s ears. “Kid, Meng Yuanxiu’s sect is located in the east. You need to be careful when you try looking for the Spirituality of the East!”
Shang Xia chuckled in response, “We need to ensure our safety before all else. Don’t risk your life to obtain them! I still have several methods to do so...”
As Huang Yu disappeared as a streak of light, Shang Xia could vaguely see him waving his hands.
It was true that Shang Xia had an alternative plan to collect the Four Extremity Spiritualities, but there was no question about it. The Azure Oddity World was the best place for him to collect them all at the moment.
Facing the World’s Will that would soon be destroyed, it would definitely use up the last of the world’s potential to nurture as many treasures as it could.
That might be why the various worlds haven’t gone all out in a siege against Meng Yuanxiu’s sect!
Both sides were biding their time! The experts of the Azure Oddity World might be waiting for an unexpected situation that would allow them to turn the tables, or they might just be dragging things out. As for the True Immortals from the various worlds, they were probably waiting for the world to produce enough precious treasures and resources!
As Shang Xia flew east, he could vaguely feel 3 powerful auras like suns in the midday sky. They seemed to be projecting their presence the best they could as they surrounded Meng Yuanxiu’s sect.
Shang Xia became even more suspicious about the death of True Immortal Yong Si from the Azure Beginning World.
From the intelligence Huang Yu brought back, there were 5 True Immortals who descended on the Azure Oddity World. However, a sixth had appeared. They probably made their appearance after True Immortal Yong Si’s death in order to continue the encirclement.
Of course, Shang Xia didn’t plan to risk anything by heading over to learn more about those True Immortals and Meng Yuanxiu’s sect. Instead, he started to head further east.
Unlike the Spirit Abundance World and Spirit Luxuriant World, the Eastern Region of the Azure Oddity World wasn’t made up of a massive ocean. When Shang Xia arrived, he noticed that the easternmost region was where the oceans ran dry.
The Azure Oddity World’s world protecting barrier lay at the edge of the ocean, but the endless sea of stars that was supposed to be on the other side wasn’t there. Instead, there seemed to be a region of nothingness and chaos.
Shang Xia was no stranger to the chaotic space. When the Azure Origin World and the Azure Spiritual World collided and the Battlefield Between the Two Worlds were formed, he had seen something similar in the windy valley. He had also seen something similar in the Celestial Remains when he was looking for the Stellar Cauldron!
Unfortunately, he didn’t plan to explore the region of chaos. His main goal was the Four Extremity Spiritualities.
He started his search from the edge of the easternmost point. He ran into several experts who were also trying their luck while restraining themselves from attacking each other.
Shang Xia stayed for 3 days and found nothing. When he was about to give up, the Crimson Soul Tablet finally showed some reaction as it started to tremble slightly in his sea of consciousness.
Thinking back to the time when he chased the Spirituality of the North in the Spirit Abundance World, he tried to communicate with the Crimson Soul Tablet. From the faint feeling he was getting, he started to fly in a certain direction. In just a short while, he discovered that he was getting further and further from the easternmost point. He seemed to be flying in the Southeastern direction while correcting his movement along the way.
He had some guesses in mind as his expression turned a lot more serious. Of course, none of that affected his speed. Instead, he started to push himself as he flew faster and faster.
When he arrived close to 100 miles from his target, Shang Xia no longer concealed his aura. It was as though he was announcing his arrival.
The next moment, Shang Xia discovered several figures slowing down before slowly coming to a halt.
The distance of a hundred miles was something a Martial Dipper Realm expert could cross in the blink of an eye. When they were a mere 10 miles away, Shang Xia saw the appearance of the 3 Martial Dipper Realm experts he was chasing.
“Who are you? Why are you tracking us so closely? One of the experts questioned.
In order to reduce the animosity the other side had with him, Shang Xia didn’t fly at his top speed. He slowly moved until there was only 5 miles left between them before speaking slowly, “Apologies... I don’t have any ill intentions. I noticed that one of the treasures I was looking for has been obtained by you 3 and I hope it’s possible for you to part with it. Of course, I am willing to give you treasures of equal worth!”
As soon as the words left his lips, the younger-looking male cultivator who was standing at the back sneered and gestured for him to not approach.
However, the only female, and the youngest among the 3, tugged on his sleeves and muttered, “Second Brother, there’s no need for such a strong reaction. Let’s listen to him before making a decision.”
The person who was the first to speak was clearly the oldest among them. He glanced behind him before muttering in a serious voice, “Oh? What do you plan to use to trade?”
“Would you like essence crystals? Or you can tell me what you like in exchange or what you would accept...” Shang Xia replied.
The next moment, the female cultivator stepped forward and snorted in a cold voice, “What is the treasure you wish to trade? Also... How did you manage to track the 3 of us?”
