Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1192: 3 Years Seclusion

After Shang Xia’s clone left the items with Yun Jing, he didn’t know that the 2 treasures he left behind would cause the 3 deputy patriarchs to be so worked up.

Whatever it was, his clone didn’t return to the Talisman Pagoda. Instead, it turned into a stream of light that left the You Continent and arrived above the heavenly screen of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Not too long after he arrived at the spot above the Jiao Continent, the other True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World also received the news and they started to arrive one after another.

Those who were already second tier True Immortals sent over their clones, but for Yin Jingxu and Lu Wuzi, they could only head over personally.

The reason he called them over was because he had been sent to investigate the disturbance outside the Spirit Abundance World, and he was finally back to tell them what happened.

It had been more than half a year since he left, and right after they discovered that the massive battle in the space around the Spirit Abundance World ended, the Star Origin Dao Field reappeared in the sea of stars, and the Star Origin Guards Commander changed. The True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World suspected that those events were connected to each other, but they weren’t able to look for the truth themselves. They had been anticipating Shang Xia’s return.

“True Immortal Little Shang, what exactly happened over in the space around the Spirit Abundance World? Is it related to the reappearance of the Star Origin Dao Field and the new Star Origin Guards Commander taking over?” Yin Jingxu asked.

Even though they knew that only Shang Xia’s clone had shown up, since he called everyone over, that would only mean that his true body was also back. As the person who first discovered everything, Yin Jingxu started the ball rolling.

The reason Shang Xia sent his clone over was to reveal some matters about the Star Origin Lord and the Essence Ping World while also telling them about what he found out during his trip to the disturbance in space around the Spirit Abundance World. He would also inform them of some matters regarding the Star Origin Dao Field’s plot to harvest the energy of the various worlds, and their relationship with the Essence Hong World and Essence Ming World...

The Spirit Luxuriant World didn’t belong to the Tongyou Institution and naturally, Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue shouldn’t be the only ones to ensure the pressure of breaking through to the fourth tier to become a high-level True Immortal. The True Immortals of the various great powers should also take on some of the pressure, rather than relying on Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue’s protection.

Since there was an external threat, it would be better to inform them about it and get everyone to work together to deal with it.

Indeed... After hearing how Tong Yutang had been colluding with the Spirit Abundance World, Spirit Mammoth World, and Spirit Tinkle World by copying the Star Robes and their battle formation to kill Zhuge Xiang who had just broken through to the fifth tier of the Martial Void Realm, they were shocked, but not too surprised. In fact, they even started to nod slowly as though they expected as much.

After all, they had already started their investigation after the reappearance of the Star Origin Dao Field.

It wasn’t difficult to reach the conclusion after seeing what happened in the Star Origin Guards.

They were only surprised by the fact that the 3 Spirit Worlds had taken part in the operation.

When Shang Xia talked about how the high-level True Immortals of the Essence Hong World and Essence Ming World might have had a hand in pushing the alliance between the Spirit Worlds and Tong Yutang to kill Zhuge Xiang, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World started to become serious.

Soon after, Shang Xia also started to talk about the possibility that the high-level True Immortals of the Essence Hong World and Essence Ming World trying to use the opportunity to find the Essence Ping World, and that the Spirit Abundance World also knew about the existence of the Essence Ping World through the Frost Wave, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World felt a strange mix of emotions.

Finally, when they heard about the Star Origin Lord and how he managed to establish an independent region of space with all the worlds it used to lord over, along with how the control of the Star Origin Dao Field over them started to weaken with the disappearance of the Star Origin Lord, and how the Essence Worlds had been trying to gather information about the various worlds, panic started to set in.

Of course, Shang Xia hid a lot of information during his explanation. There were also some things he said with some uncertainty, making it seem as though his true body hadn’t been a part of the giant mess that was created.

Even so... The information he brought back were things the others were hearing for the first time.

Fortunately, Shang Xia sent his clone over. Perhaps, it was all a part of his calculated plan so that he would be able to avoid their questioning. After his clone was done with the explanation, he didn’t have to care about the questions they might have. Even if they tried to probe further, his clone would simply use the excuse that his true body hadn’t informed him to avoid the topic.

With that, they couldn’t make things difficult for him either.

After bidding them farewell, Shang Xia’s clone took his leave.

Shang Xia could guess what their reactions would be after his clone dropped his explanation and left, but he couldn’t give two shits. All his attention was placed on refining the energy his Crimson Soul Tablet was providing.

When he was in the prison under the Star Observatory, he discovered a new use for the tablet after it had been completely restored.

It was able to convert excess energy into something Shang Xia could absorb. Back then, a large amount of energy was absorbed by the tablet, and Shang Xia was only able to force it to produce a little through his meddling.

However... After Shang Xia smashed the Crimson Soul Tablet into the Star Origin Lord’s clone in the Essence Ping World, it absorbed so much energy that it felt a little bloated.

One had to know that the Star Origin Lord’s clone was made from the concentrated power of the stars. That was 1 of the 2 types of energy in the Essence Ping World, and it was a Seventh Order energy!

In the prison under the Star Observatory in Star Origin City, the energy Shang Xia had been absorbing was pseudo-Seventh Order energy. For him to swallow a good portion of the energy contained in the Star Origin Lord’s clone, no matter how high the limit of energy the Crimson Soul Tablet could contain, it was still filled to the brim. It started to pour energy into Shang Xia after conversion to alleviate its burden.

That was why Shang Xia entered seclusion. One reason was so that he could improve, but the second was because he had no choice as there was just too much energy!

He knew that if he didn’t enter seclusion immediately, he would have to split off a fourth clone in order to use up some inner qi. However, if that were to happen, his soul might not be able to endure the burden of being split up into so many parts!

To be able to create 3 clones without affecting his divine soul was already an amazing feat. All the credit could go to the Man and Heaven Synergy Chapter he had been cultivating since the Triple Command Realm.

If any other third tier True Immortal was in his place, very few would be able to create 2 clones, much less 3.

As soon as he started cultivating, Shang Xia discovered that he had still underestimated the amount of energy the Crimson Soul Tablet was producing. Or perhaps... He had completely underestimated its abilities in the first place.

Fully submerging himself in his cultivation, Shang Xia thought that he would be able to quickly use up the energy to improve his cultivation, and he might even be able to retrieve his clones eventually to speed up the rate at which he could cultivate. However... Reality proved him wrong. Even after an entire year, his 2 other clones which he had called back merely stood beside him quietly. The other was left in the Tongyou Institution to watch over the Talisman Hall and the Tongyou Elysium.
