Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1692: Restoring Strength

From the 37th to the 38th year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar, a period of unprecedented calm enveloped the Heaven Observation Field.

It happened right after Shang Xia became a Sage.

It could be said that Shang Xia’s advancement drastically altered the situation in the Heaven Observation Field, compelling various forces of the various worlds who had been eyeing the Essence Ping Word to adjust, or even change their strategy altogether because of Shang Xia’s sudden advancement.

Of course... Everyone understood that the peace was only temporary. With the imminent collapse of the Star Curtain, the brief calm was merely a harbinger of greater turmoil within the Heaven Observation Field.

During the year, more than 10 True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World who suffered minor injuries in the battle managed to stabilize their strength. They would be able to unleash 60 to 70 percent of their strength. However... Experts like Kou Chongxue and Feng Ziying, who suffered heavy injuries,s would probably need 3 to 5 years to recover.

After returning to the Spirit Luxuriant World, Feng Ziying reassumed his earlier identity of Youshang. Despite his injuries, it didn’t hinder his return to family life with Wei Qiongyi.

After hearing how Feng Ziying formed a deep bond with Feng Ziyuan during his stint in the Star Origin Dao Field, Shang Xia was struck speechless. He was even more surprised when Feng Ziying was able to bring a second tier True Immortal who had been nurtured by the Star Origin Dao Field over to their side...

Unfortunately, Feng Ziyuan perished in the chaos of the void. Even Feng Ziying was nearly killed back then.

Hearing that he had nearly died alongside Feng Ziyuan before being rescued, and later harbored resentment towards Kou Chongxue for not saving her, indicated the depth of his feelings for her.

However... Just a year later, Shang Xia sighed in disbelief when he heard that Youshang had resumed his marital ties with Wei Qiongyi.

He also heard that due to Youshang’s sudden reappearance, he had an extremely strained relationship with his son to the point where his son even refused to adopt his family name. Wei Qiongyi was placed in an extremely difficult position.

Naturally, their domestic affairs were relayed to Shang Xia by Hai Min, but he simply laughed them off.

He even thought of mocking Youshang with it when they met again in the future.

After the recovery of the True Immortals in the Spirit Luxuriant World, they once again possessed the power to defend themselves. Shang Xia could finally leave to do everything he planned to do.

During the year, Ge Qingzhu continued to collect high-level spiritual treasures for Shang Xia so he could create another External Avatar. After all, once he succeeded, the Tongyou Institution would gain another high-level True Immortal.

When Shang Xia learned of what he was doing, Shang Xia called for him to stop.

The Tongyou Institution had many cultivators who had reached the peak of the Martial Dipper Realm and were preparing to push for their ascension to the Martial Void Realm. Those high-level spiritual treasures required to craft their advancement medicine were already scarce. If they collected more material for Shang Xia to craft his External Avatar, those preparing to break through would definitely be affected.

Secondly, since Gao Qin, a high-level True Immortal, had been subdued by Shang Xia and had regained her strength, she could fill in for the high-level combat strength of the Tongyou Institution. The overall loss in strength of the Tongyou Institution wouldn’t be too significant.

Speaking of which... The Tongyou Institution had a bunch of experts at the peak of the Martial Dipper Realm preparing to break through and so did the rest of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Some reached their current state after years of hard work cultivating, while a significant number were heavily supported by their sects with massive investments of spiritual treasures.

The reason they didn’t hesitate to invest in their Martial Dippe Realm cultivators because with the imminent ascension of the Spirit Luxuriant World, everyone wanted to seize the rare opportunity where the blessing of the world descended to increase their chances of entering the Martial Void Realm. They hoped to use this millennium-rare chance to strengthen their sects and potentially alter the martial landscape of their world.

Even the Divine Capital Sect and Heavenly Star Palace, which had lost True Immortals in the battle, did the same.

Once the Spirit Luxuriant World completed its ascension, not only would it be able to support 12 Elysiums. Each continent would also be able to contain 3 to 5 True Immortals.

Also, there would be 36 continents in the Essence World from its original 24.

Of course, even with a successful ascension, the Spirit Luxuriant World would need to start from its original 24 continents.

Over the year, Shang Xia failed to make much headway into his rank seven arts. Fortunately, after repeated attempts, he learned of a way to speed up the recovery of his inner qi after it was depleted.

Recovery was all he could do at the moment. There was no way to further increase his inner qi to enhance his cultivation level.

Aside from the advancements made when he broke through, Shang Xia completed the preliminary arrangement of fusing the 7 Variant Talismans into a new rank seven talisman. The next step was to recreate the whole talisman.

Even though he basically gained a rank seven talisman inheritance by recreating the Fusion Talisman by combining the Variant Talismans, crafting a new talisman from scratch wasn’t going to be easy. Aside from the difficulty of creation, the quality of talisman paper, talisman brush, and talisman ink needed to be extremely high.

At the very least, Shang Xia didn’t possess rank seven talisman paper. With talisman paper of that level requiring Star Devouring Silk that had to be from Star Devouring Silkworms nurtured in Essence Worlds, it was likely out of his reach for the time being.

Such high-level silk was probably only available in the Star Origin Dao Field, and even though the Tongyou Institution obtained some silkworm larvae and hatched them with Sun Haiwei’s assistance, they weren’t able to spit out silk yet. Even if they were, the lack of proper nurturing meant that they couldn’t produce enough high-quality silk.

It wasn’t as though he didn’t have a treasure that could be used to make rank seven talisman paper. He had the Star Origin Lord Robe, but destroying it just to craft a talisman was something Shang Xia wasn’t stupid enough to do.
