Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1193: Breaking Through, High-Level True Immortal

...

As time continued to pass...

One of the biggest possibilities Shang Xia had been absorbing energy from the Crimson Soul Tablet for so long was because of the way the Crimson Soul Tablet had been operating. It was able to provide the energy Shang Xia had been absorbing because after refining the power of the stars, but it was more like the atrophy of the power of the stars into something a little weaker so Shang Xia could absorb it directly.

Before entering seclusion, Shang Xia had already reached the small completion stage of the third tier of the Martial Void Realm.

According to his original estimates, if there weren’t other accidents or special circumstances, Shang Xia calculated that it would take several dozen years if he wished to reach the peak of the third tier of the Marital Void Realm to stand before the gates to become a high-level True Immortal.

However, Shang Xia had barely been in seclusion for slightly less than 2 years when he already reached the peak of the third tier of the Martial Void Realm.

Once a cultivator reached the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm, they would be considered high-level True Immortals. It was a clear indicator that breaking through the third tier of the Martial Void Realm wasn’t going to be easy.

... Another half a year passed, but Shang Xia didn’t attempt a breakthrough to the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm. Instead, he continued to strengthen his Six Direction Origin and consolidate his foundations.

At the same time, there was another important thing he had to do and that was to work on his Six Harmony Flawless Rod Technique.

In the time he had spent in seclusion, Shang Xia had been improving his cultivation, but he had never stopped trying to fix and develop his Six Harmony Flawless Rod Technique. When he reached a point where he felt that it couldn’t go any further, Shang Xia didn’t stop there. Instead, he decided to break everything down once again and sort out everything he knew.

By the time he was done, Shang Xia felt the speed at which he could absorb the energy provided by the Crimson Soul Tablet increase by 30 percent.

Only then did he finally feel the Crimson Soul Tablet starting to slow down and reach a point where it was no longer able to pump out an infinite amount of energy.

After everything he accomplished, Shang Xia was confident he had reached his peak state and it was actually time to attempt a breakthrough to the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm.

Awakening the spirituality of the You Continent, Shang Xia prepared to start the process. As soon as it happened, every cultivator on the You Continent with cultivation realms in the Martial Extermination Realm and above could clearly feel a transformation in the heaven and earth qi around them. Even though it didn’t grow denser, it became a lot more lively.

Only those whose cultivation had reached the Martial Dipper Realm and a deep understanding of the path ahead realized what was happening. They immediately turned their gaze to the Tongyou Institution.

The You Continent wasn’t the only one experiencing a huge commotion. The World Origin Source of the Spirit Luxuriant World was starting to feel the impact of his attempt at breaking through.

When Shang Xia awakened the spirituality of the You Continent earlier, the fluctuations it caused to the World Origin Source started to spread to the rest of the world.

The World’s Will was also starting to buzz with greater activity than before.

The instant it happened, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World who couldn’t leave their world, or hadn’t left their world because of their concerns, could feel the changes to the World Origin Source clearly. They knew that there was a True Immortal breaking through at the moment and through their divine soul, they could tell that the expert attempting a breakthrough was in the You Continent, and they were attempting to enter the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm.

With that, it wasn’t difficult for any of them to guess who it was.

Complicated emotions filled their hearts and strange lights flashed in their eyes when they looked in the direction of the You Continent. However, no one attempted anything funny even though they had the ability to do so.

From the news Shang Xia’s clone brought back about the existence of the Star Origin Lord, and the Essence Ping World, along with the plots of the various Essence Worlds, all of them knew that they had to stay united. Even if they knew Shang Xia’s revelation contained some sort of warning for them to not mess with him during his breakthrough, they knew it was true.

Since he wished to become a high-level True Immortal, Shang Xia had to draw on all the power he could and there was no reason to hold back.

Awakening the spirituality of the You Continent was so that he could form a better connection with the World Origin Source, and he would be able to raise his domain to a higher level during the transformation of his breakthrough. With his understanding, that would bring him closer to a state of Man and Heaven Synergy, which was also what he understood the level of Dao Harmony!

After absorbing the energy that was produced by the Crimson Soul Tablet for more than 2 years, Shang Xia finally stopped and started to take in energy from the World Origin Source through the You Continent!

Despite the torrential amount of energy, it was far from enough. At the very least, it wouldn’t be enough for Shang Xia to enter the gates of the fourth tier in a short amount of time.

One of his clones who was in the room with him suddenly got up and returned to his true body.

After more time had passed and he seemed to reach another bottleneck, the other clone in the room fused back into him.

The sudden infusion of energy allowed him to truly step through the gates of the fourth tier and become a high-level True Immortal! The instant it happened, Shang Xia’s divine soul seemed to stretch across the entire You Continent.

He felt as though he had become one with the continent and as long as he willed it, he would be able to do anything within the confines of the continent!

Every breath he took contained the power to transform into a powerful hurricane and he could summon giant clouds with a wave of his hand. A soft cough could turn into powerful rumbling thunder and if he blinked his eyes, he would be able to summon streaks of lightning. With one thought, he could release a mighty lightning storm!

If he was happy, he could allow there to be great weather. If he got angry, the heavens would tremble and the earth would shake.

It was an experience where he was nothing short of God in the You Continent, and the miraculous feeling caused him to immerse himself deeper and deeper, to the point where he almost didn’t wish to awaken from it.

If he continued to indulge in the feeling and was unable to awaken, he would fuse completely with the You Continent, becoming a part of the world. If that happened, Shang Xia would no longer exist in the world.

However... A voice deep within his soul caused him to snap awake.

“As powerful as you are now... Even if you’re omnipotent in the You Continent... Can you return to the world you once came from?”

It was a bone-chilling voice he had never heard before, but he immediately snapped back to reality with its reminder.

“That was close!” Shang Xia gasped as he felt his whole body drenched in sweat. “Is this what the level of Dao Harmony really means?!”

Shang Xia carefully thought back to everything he felt through the breakthrough, and he naturally realized that the true meaning of Dao Harmony had nothing to do with fusing into the world around him. Instead, it was a state where he would be able to draw on the power of the world through the You Continent while maintaining his conscious mind.

The next time he reached the strange state, he would be prepared for it and he would no longer be easily influenced by the feeling of assimilation.

As soon as the process was complete, his third clone, who had been outside the Talisman Pagoda, was also summoned by Shang Xia and reassimilated back into his true body.

This time, the return of his clone didn’t bring him any special gains like how he managed to break through with the fusion of his clones before. Instead, it only allowed him to consolidate his foundations slightly.

After the completion of the entire process, Shang Xia finally completed his transformation to enter the level of Dao Harmony, becoming a fourth tier high-level True Immortal!
