Chapter 1026: The Spatial Disturbance 300,000 Miles Around the World
However, Kou Chongxue shook his head in response. “The Star Origin Guards are too powerful. They should be much stronger than they seem on the surface too... Actually, I’m willing to share the benefits of the Azure Flame World with them. However, they’re acting too unbridled. They wish to snatch the entire Elysium without even telling us what they’re looking for. They said that they’ll pay any price, but we don’t even know the worth of the treasure we’re losing. How the hell are they supposed to compensate us for that?”
Of course, there was also another serious issue that Kou Chongxue didn’t speak of. It was the pride and stance of the Spirit Luxuriant World.
If they willingly backed off and let the Star Origin Guards do whatever they wanted, the pride and ambition of the Spirit Luxuriant World since they faced the first invasion of the Spirit Abundance World would probably crumble.
“This jade wall is probably connected to some treasure the Star Origin Guards possess. Since they are able to send a projection over, they should have already located the Azure Flame World. It won’t be long before the True Immortals of the various worlds descend...”
“However... We still need more time!” Kou Chongxue mumbled. After thinking about it for a moment, he turned to Lu Wuzi. “Brother Lu, the situation has changed. I won’t be able to hand this Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar that is the Star Observatory to you any longer. My Tongyou Institution also lacks the Elysium Boundary Marker. We’ll exchange it for the Origin Holy Artifact in this Elysium which is the stone pool. What do you think?”
Shang Xia was slightly taken aback and he wanted to say something, but Kou Chongxue shot him a warning gaze the next moment, forcing him to suppress the words coming out of his mouth.
The Tongyou Institution needed to create their Elysium, and there was no way they could lack any of the 3 Holy Artifacts required.
The Tongyou Institution possessed an Origin Holy Artifact and a Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar, and the only thing they were lacking was the Elysium Boundary Marker. There was no way they would give up the Elysium Boundary Marker in such a situation.
Of course, Lu Wuzi naturally needed to split a portion of the proceeds. If he couldn’t obtain the Elysium Boundary Marker, he would choose one of the remaining Holy Artifacts.
Shang Xia suggested for Lu Wuzi to choose the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar as he already had one of his own. When the Tongyou Paradise ascended into the Tongyou Elysium, Shang Xia was already prepared to give the Stone Rod to the institution.
Of course, his intentions weren’t as simple as it seemed. He naturally wanted the institution to possess another Origin Holy Artifact when the time came. That would allow Kou Chongxue to continue using his Stellar Cauldron.
None of them expected the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar of the Elysium to be a Star Observatory!
With them currently working with the Heavenly Star Palace to restore the Stargaze inheritance, the Tongyou Institution wouldn’t give away a Star Observatory!
The only downside was that Kou Chongxue would have to give up the Stellar Cauldron and use it as the Origin Holy Artifact of the future Tongyou Elysium. They wouldn’t be able to use it however they wished any longer!
Even though the Holy Artifacts of an Elysium were supposed to be of similar quality, it couldn’t be denied that the Origin Holy Artifact played the most important role! It would be especially so for the Ice Essence Sect that had just established themselves! No matter which faction it was, an Origin Holy Artifact was a priceless treasure!
Lu Wuzi naturally wouldn’t fight with the Tongyou Institution over the Star Observatory. He couldn’t be more content to trade it for an Origin Holy Artifact. A wide grin appeared on his face the next moment. “Looks like it’s an unexpected windfall indeed... Hehe from the looks of it, I gained big from this! I’m truly ashamed of myself... Many thanks!”
Kou Chongxue’s expression didn’t change as he muttered, “All of us worked together to exterminate Yuan Cangming’s soul. Everything here should be split evenly between us anyway. There’s no need to be ashamed.”
Lu Wuzi cupped his fists to thank Kou Chongxue before putting on a flattering expression while addressing him, “So... What should I do now?”
“We need to speed everything up. Quickly chase the cultivators of this world to the Northern Chihuang Continent. If they still refuse, there’s no need to hold back anymore! We’ve shown enough mercy!” Kou Chongxue declared resolutely.
Lu Wuzi could only sigh in response, “I’m afraid we still won’t make it in time...”
Smacking the Stellar Cauldron he brought with him, Kou Chongxue sighed, “I’ll take charge of things here. The both of you, split up. One of you will head to the Western Wenchen Continent while the other stays here in the Eastern Nuanyuan Continent. Head over to the locations where resistance is the strongest. There’s no need to do anything, and you cannot casually make a move there. However, you can intimidate them. As long as those fighting for their lives there know how to use their brain, they will know what to do.”
Clapping once, Lu Wuzi nodded. “Good idea. There shouldn’t be any factions that dare to resist after this. Even if there are a few obstinate factions that try to hold out, it will be impossible for them to stop the inevitable.”
...
In the main hall in the central camp of the Star Origin Guards...
Zhuge Xiang’s expression sank as the jade pendant in his hand crumbled to dust. He stared at everyone before him and muttered, “The Azure Flame World’s Elysium has already been taken over. Everything went as expected. The Spirit Luxuriant World refused to hand over the Heaven Observation Elysium.”
With the Spirit Luxuriant World’s movements exposed once they moved out on such a large scale, the Star Origin Guards and the experts of various worlds quickly determined the location at the other end of the spatial tunnel.
It wouldn’t take long for them to lock on to that location.
It was also why Zhuge Xiang was able to use the token Yuan Cangming gave the experts of the Azure Flame World to communicate with people in the Elysium.
He was shocked to discover that the person he was talking to wasn’t the True Immortal of the Azure Flame World after activating the token. Instead, he spoke to Kou Chongxue and 2 other True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World!
He was shocked at the speed at which the experts of the Spirit Luxuriant World were growing, and the fact that they had already taken over the Elysium.
At that moment, the Camp Commanders and captains weren’t the only ones in the hall. There were several foreign True Immortals and it was clear they came from the other worlds connected to the Star Origin City.
“They already took over the Elysium?! The True Immortal of the Azure Flame World is really useless...” One of the True Immortals of the Azure Abyss World couldn’t help but sneer.
The Azure Abyss World was one of the 6 Azure Worlds connected to the Star Origin City. Their strength and foundations were top notch and they were merely a step away from becoming a Spirit World.
With the discovery of the Azure Flame World, the True Immortal of the Azure Abyss World felt that the chance for them to ascend had come and decided to join in the operation. They didn’t expect to arrive a little late to the party.
With the only Elysium of the Azure Flame World destroyed and their only True Immortal slain, that would mean that there was no more resistance. The high-level experts of the Azure Flame World would also be easily suppressed and even if the Azure Abyss World wanted to snatch any benefits from the Spirit Luxuriant World or the other worlds, they wouldn’t gain much.
“Maybe the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World were too strong... They might also have some secret mart that allows them to easily deal with a True Immortal who broke through with the support of their Elysium...” One of the True Immortals from the Spirit Tinkle World who was present guessed.
Grunting once, Liu Jiuzhen also threw out a guess of his own. “The Spirit Luxuriant World might have someone working on the inside. Maybe all of you here don’t know, but it’s the second time the Spirit Luxuriant World is invading the Azure Flame World. The first time they attacked, the Azure Flame World hadn’t even produced their first True Immortal. It was also before the Spirit Luxuriant World ascended...”
One of the True Immortals of the Spirit Abundance World frowned and growled impatiently, “What’s the point of saying all these now?! We need to head over to the Azure Flame World as quickly as possible! Otherwise, the Spirit Luxuriant World would obtain all the benefits!”
“That’s a complete Azure World we’re talking about. Even if they aren’t that strong, have any of you heard of a world devouring an Azure World alone?!” Someone muttered
Tian Moran’s gaze swept across those present in the hall while muttering casually, “If they really manage to swallow an entire Azure World, it won’t be long before the Spirit Luxuriant World rises up the ranks...”
“Heh!” Sneers appeared on the faces of many True Immortals from the various worlds that gathered.
His method of stirring shit was too obvious, and it was a little crude for all of them.
A light cough from Zhuge Xiang eventually silenced everyone. His gaze turned to the end of the hall and he spoke in a mellow voice all of a sudden, “Camp Commander Xing, have we discovered a safe path we can open a spatial tunnel to the Azure Flame World?”
Traveling through the sea of stars wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Even if they knew the position of the Azure Flame World, it wasn’t as though they could open a spatial tunnel that led over directly. The vast sea of stars was mysterious and danger might lie along the way. No one knows what’s hidden in the vast sea of stars.
A Stargazer’s job didn’t just end when they found the position of a world. What was more important was their ability to find a safe path through space where they could open up a spatial tunnel leading to their target.
One had to admit that the Spirit Luxuriant World’s luck was really amazing. They carried out Spatial Transfers twice, and the first was to the Manyu Continent. The distance was so short back then that even Martial Dipper Realm experts could open up spatial tunnels to it. They didn’t run into any trouble on the way either. The second time, they discovered a path to the Azure Flame World and even though its location was marked on the Star Observatory, there was no Stargazer to ensure the safety of their route. Even so, Kou Chongxue managed to open a path directly to it!
The same couldn’t be said for those in the Star Origin City at the moment. Even though they knew where the Azure Flame World was, they needed their Stargazers to find a safe point in space they could pass through. Otherwise, they couldn’t be sure that they wouldn’t be swallowed up by the chaotic streams that existed in the void. They might even fall into planar fault lines while traveling through the vast sea of stars. If that were to happen...
With the gazes of several True Immortals fixed on him, Xing Xingtian and the other Stargazers beside him felt beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads. Eventually, he stuttered, “Commander... Commander Xiang, We... We discovered a path earlier, but it was destroyed...”
“What happened?” There was no emotion in Zhuge Xiang’s voice as he asked.
With his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, Xing Xingtian couldn’t hide the anxiety he was feeling. However, he still forced himself to respond. “They... They disrupted the void outside the Azure Flame World. We are unable to open any spatial tunnels 300,000 miles around the Azure Flame World!”
One of the True Immortals from the Spirit Mammoth World sighed softly, “Are they really a newly ascended Spirit World?! Is this the first time they’re carrying out an expedition against another world? Why do I feel like they know what they’re doing and seem to have done this a few times before? They even thought of all possibilities...”
The True Immortals in the hall couldn’t help but nod slowly in acknowledgment.
Once again, Zhuge Xiang’s low voice rang through the hall. “In that case, how long would we need to find a path that leads to the space 300,000 miles away from the Azure Flame World?”
With his pupils constricting, Xing Xingtian seemed to regain his composure. “We can pretty much use the same route we came up with, with some minor changes. We need two... No. We can do so in a day!”
“Hurry up.” Even though Zhuge Xiang maintained his solemn expression, his voice was still as calm as before.
The True Immortals in the hall stared at each other before getting to their feet.
“Since we’re done here, we’ll come back in a bit.”
After one of them spoke, all of them transformed into streaks of light that disappeared into the void. It wasn’t a question everyone in the hall was a mere projection of their true bodies.
