Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1336: Nothing But The Truth

As Zhang Xuansheng slowly spoke about things that happened back then, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue didn’t believe their ears. It seemed as though the Martial Emptiness Realm Sage that attacked the Spirit Abundance World back then was terrifyingly powerful!

One had to know that Zhang Xuansheng wasn’t there to experience it for himself. He was a member of the sect that grew only after everything that happened. He wasn’t born in the Spirit Abundance World either. He was only brought into the world when the Xuanming Elysium was tumbling through the spatial streams. He heard what happened from his seniors and records kept in the sect.

Kou Chongxue eventually asked, “Since the Xuanming Sect has an Elysium, there would definitely be True Immortals present. Why didn’t they try to return to the Spirit Abundance World after the separation? There is no way the Spirit Abundance World would abandon a superpower that possesses an Elysium...”

“It’s not that they didn’t think about it. They just couldn’t under those circumstances.” Zhang Xuansheng explained. Seeing the confused expressions, he continued, “The Xuanming Sect had 1 Free True Immortal and an Elysium True Immortal. When the powerful blow arrived, the Free True Immortal was slain instantly. The Elysium True Immortal gave it his all and barely managed to protect the Xuanming Elysium, and suffered heavy injuries while doing so. His life force eventually ran out not too long after. Without a True Immortal, the Xianming Elysium could only float about in space. Without a True Immortal, how would we dare to easily return to the Spirit Abundance World even if we had the opportunity to?”

Shang Xia couldn’t help but follow up with another question. “Did the Spirit Abundance World just allow the entire continent to drift away without doing anything?”

“Heh... Back then, the Spirit Abundance couldn’t even take care of themselves...” Zhang Xuansheng continued, “The terrifying attack that came through the spatial tunnel scared them shitless. The shockwave sent the Xuanming Continent tumbling into the depths of space, and it was obvious the impact it left on the Spirit Abundance World. I went to look for information regarding what happened back then and I learned from the Star Origin City that the fluctuations caused by the terrifying attack in the northern region of the Spirit Abundance World lasted for tens of years. They couldn’t even try to look for the Xuanming Sect...”

“Moreover, a blow from an expert that could split a continent from a world definitely had a heavier impact on the world. From the dying Elysium True Immortal, when the Xuanming Sect was separated from the world, it seemed to break through some sort of secret realm in the void. When the sect was tumbling through the sea of stars, he once looked back and saw that frost qi was escaping from a broken spatial barrier. The frost qi was so powerful it could even freeze everything around it... That’s most likely where the Frost Wave of the Spirit Abundance World originated from.”

“Now... It seems like the blow not only affected the Xuanming Continent, but it also affected the hidden Essence Ping World and caused a weakness in its heavenly screen. Its frost qi would escape from time to time, causing the Frost Wave known in the Spirit Abundance World and affecting the northern continents...” Zhang Xuansheng eventually concluded.

“So that’s what happened...” Shang Xia couldn’t help but gasp.

However, Zhang Xuansheng didn’t seem to be done as he became more excited the more he spoke. “In order to seal the weakness in the heavenly screen in the northern region to prevent the Frost Wave from affecting life in the Spirit Abundance World, they gathered a batch of high-level experts who would stand guard there all year round. Very quickly, they discovered the Frost Wave contains another type of world origin which is even stronger than that of the Spirit Abundance World.”

“As such, the experts there no longer stopped its intrusion. Instead, they tried to draw in the energy the Frost Wave contains and the northern region became a special type of cultivation ground. They established another Elysium in order to replace the Xuanming Elysium, and it became known as the Azure Island we all know today.” Zhang Xuansheng sighed.

Thinking for some time, Kou Chongxue asked, “In that case, back when the Xuanming Continent was separated, the Spirit Abundance World already deployed the Elysium Grand Formation, right? That is how you have it in your inheritance.”

“That’s right. However, it was like paper that was destroyed instantly by the strike that came through the spatial tunnel... No... Actually, it already mitigated a lot of damage. If not for it, the Spirit Abundance World wouldn’t have lost just 1 continent and 1 Elysium...” Zhang Xuansheng explained in a low voice after shooting him a glance.

Shang Xia also asked, “How much do you know about the Essence Ping World then?”

Zhang Xuansheng shook his head slowly and mumbled, “As I said, the Xuanming Continent’s destruction and the revelation of the Essence Ping World happened one after another. The ancestor of the Xuanming Sect barely saw it before he died. He didn’t even determine it was an Essence World. What I know about the Essence Ping World should be less than you...”

Shang Xia thought for a second before asking another question, “In that case, how much does the Xuanming Sect... Or rather, the Spirit Abundance World, know about the Star Origin Lord back then? Do you also know about the Heaven Observation Field?”

“I understand what you wish to know, but it’s just that the Xuanming Sect was greatly damaged in the past and many seniors were killed. Many records were lost during the process and we were tumbling around in space for dozens of years... We even entered several dangerous spatial currents and it was great we managed to retain a portion of our inheritance. How much do you think we have left?” He paused slightly before he continued, “We know little about the Star Origin Lord, and all the records we have of him stated that he’s unfathomable and hard to predict. However... There is a single record that states that when the legacy of the Heaven Observation returns, so will the Star Origin Lord. I was originally confused about what that means, but now that I know about the existence of the Heaven Observation Field and Star Curtain, it’s not that difficult to understand now.”

Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other’s eyes.

Finally, Kou Chongxue spoke. “Speak about the Xuanming Sect and your Northern Sea Mystic Sect. Since a portion of the Xuanming Continent became the Manyu Continent, how did the Xuanming Sect end up in the Azure Spiritual World and how did the Xuanming Sect become your Northern Sea Mystic Sect...”

“I’ve said it before. A Barbaric World is unable to support an Elysium and after realizing it was impossible for us to return to the Spirit Abundance World, the Elysium True Immortal used the last of his energy and the help of Martial Dipper Realm experts to look for a way out. However... How can it be that easy to find a way to live in the massive sea of stars?” Zhang Xuansheng forced a chuckle.

“After dozens of years of drifting around, the experts of the Xuanming Sect were getting worn out fighting back the threats we ran into. With the Elysium True Immortal on his last legs, everyone fell into despair. Many people were planning to forsake the sect and head out for themselves when we found ourselves in a foreign region of space. They discovered an Azure World which had an extremely elementary martial inheritance. It was an Azure World void of many high-level experts. Strangely enough, the Azure World was also drifting around in the void. It was as though it suffered the same damage as the Xuanming Continent. However, in their desperate state, the experts of the Xuanming Sect no longer hesitated. They needed to get themselves into the world in order to survive...”

“... However, they ran into another problem. The energy that came from the terrifying blow that sundered the Xuanming Continent still remained. Our weakened Elysium True Immortal who was on his last breath was too weak to shift the Elysium to fuse with the world. Helpless, he sacrificed himself and by burning the final bit of his lifeforce, he separated the Elysium and a portion of land from the Xuanming Continent. It slammed into the Azure World and fused with the World Origin Source. With that, the Elysium True Immortal’s life also came to an end and the Azure World was known as the Azure Spiritual World. The Northern Sea was created because of the descent of the Xuanming Elysium.”

“Next, the Xuanming Elysium changed its trajectory and transformed into the Northern Sea Mystic Sect. After close to 100 years of recuperation, we started a war against the natives of the Azure Spiritual World. That battle allowed my sect to secure our inheritance and completely fuse with the Azure Spiritual World, becoming a part of them.”

“Well... We don’t need to mention what happened next. All of us know what happened during the fusion of the Azure Origin World and Azure Spiritual World...”
