Splitting the Heavens

Shang Xia might be far away in the Tong Continent causing trouble for the Essence Xing World back then and might not have seen how much energy was lost by the Qi Dynasty Dao Field, but he knew that there was no way all the energy could have disappeared completely.

The Qi Dynasty Emperor was the most suspicious. Even if experts of the Essence Xing World tried to steal world origin after the fluctuations in the World Origin Source calmed down, they would have been discovered by the Sages as they didn’t have Shang Xia’s skills and special methods.

He had to admit that the Qi Dynasty Emperor played a good hand. He managed to gain a lot of world origin while blaming it all on the mysterious thief.

As for how he used the energy to break through… That would definitely be related to the special arts of the Qi Dynasty!

Shang Xia also knew that even though the Qi Dynasty Emperor managed to hide his actions from the rest of the world, there was no way he could avoid the detection of the World’s Will. As such, he definitely paid a huge price.

At the same time, his karmic bonds to the Essence Xing World would also increase greatly. The connection between him and his world would most likely remain even after he became a Sage, becoming another obstacle stopping him from growing stronger. However, for the current Qi Dynasty Emperor, he had no other choice.

As for the Chen Dynasty Emperor, breaking free from his constraints of the Essence Xing World was also getting more difficult. At least, for the foreseeable future, he couldn’t find a chance to break through any longer. Unless he gave up on his original plan to sever his connections to the world, he wouldn’t be able to advance.

Shang Xia truly wondered if an Essence World would be able to house more than 3 Martial Emptiness Realm Sages. If there was a possibility of there being 2 Sages in the Chen Dynasty…

The Destiny Merchant Group didn’t stop to rest as they traveled to the Essence Hong World. Shang Xia would calculate the time that passed from time to time and he realized that he had left Star Beast Nest No.2 with Xin Lu in the 32nd year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar.

He entered seclusion for a little while in the Wanyun Association and he messed around with them after that, causing him to be discovered by Yu Tang and hunted down. Several more months had passed since then and he went into seclusion in the chaotic streams to reach the large completion stage of the Six Direction Realm. When he finally left, more than half a year had passed and the 33rd year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar had already rolled around.

He wondered if Xin Lu had followed his original plan to meet up with Song Zhen and if she found the Twin Star Pirates as he suggested and brought the information he wanted to send over to them.

He didn’t forget the promise he made to the Twin Star Pirates. However, he had already passed the agreed-upon time and thankfully for him, the news of the chaos in the Essence Xing World had spread across the Chaotic Sea of Stars. Shang Xia had an excuse to be late, especially since he also sent them a powerful Stargazer like Xin Lu to assist them in whatever they wanted to do.

She was a mighty Stargazer who held a complete inheritance of how to become one. There was no way they could compare two-bit Stargazers outside the Heaven Observation Field to her!

…

The journey of the Destiny Merchant Group was considered peaceful as they made their way over. They might have run into some obstacles along the way, but Shang Xia didn’t need to make a move. Zhu Nang was capable enough to deal with everything.

They didn’t arrive at the Essence Hong World after entering the Heavenly Field. Instead, they located an Azure World to ascertain their position before passing through the chaotic streams. After passing through the space around several Barbaric Worlds and a Spirit World, they finally approached the Essence Hong World.

Staring at the Essence Hong World, the heavenly screen was much weaker than that of the Essence Xing World. Moreover, their world wasn’t as well developed either. The only superiority they had was the completeness of their Heavenly Field!

As they arrived, Shang Xia relayed his intentions to leave.

Hearing the news, Zhu Nang couldn’t believe his ears. He was extremely excited, but he didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he asked respectfully, “Lord, we have just entered the region of space around the Essence Hong World. Why are you leaving so suddenly?”

“I came along with you just to learn of the way. Now that I know where the Essence Hong World is, there is no need for me to stay any longer.” Shang Xia laughed as he shot Zhu Nang a glance.

Zhu Nang couldn’t help but lower his head as he knew that Shang Xia had already seen through his intentions. “Lord, about the matter you instructed…”

“Do it on your own. There’s no need to make it too obvious either. As long as you give it your best and report back to me, it’s good enough.” Shang Xia paused for a second before he continued, “After you do what you need to do in the Essence Hong World, head to the Ruined Market of the Sea of Stars. Bring this token and meet up with Song Zhen. Bring your men and join his merchant group. You shall be the second in command from now on.”

Zhu Nang lowered his head and responded, “Lord, please rest assured that I will definitely listen to Leader Song when I get there!”

Shang Xia nodded slowly before taking a single step and disappearing completely. Zhu Nang failed to catch a glimpse of where he had gone.

Shang Xia used his Five Element Movement Art and raced through the void before tossing out his small Star Ship to continue on his way.

As he poured his inner qi to power the ship, it flew extremely quickly. He left the Essence Hong Heavenly Field before long and rushed towards the Ruined Market in the Sea of Stars.

He knew that he had already missed the timing to meet up with the Twin Star Pirates, and the meeting point they had set was most likely not going to be used again. As for where they would be… Other than their territory, they wouldn’t stay in any place for long. In order to find them, he would have to head to the Ruined Market.

If the Twin Star Pirates didn’t wish to lose a powerful helper like Shang Xia, they would definitely try ways and means to contact Song Zhen to establish a line of communication with Shang Xia.

No one knew how many exchange platforms in the Chaotic Sea of Stars, but the Ruined Market was where most people would go.

One couldn’t tell the time by the rising and setting of the sun while traveling in the sea of stars, and Shang Xia could only calculate silently. After several days, he approached the vast marketplace.
