Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 862: They’re Here!

After Kou Chongxue’s explanation, Shang Xia pretty much understood what happened to him earlier.

At the same time, he also understood that the truly powerful Martial Dipper Realm experts would only be able to display 80 percent or so of the power contained in their fate dippers.

The factor that decided how much they would be able to utilize their fate dippers came from their compatibility with the fate dippers they refined.

After Kou Chongxue’s confirmation, Shang Xia could understand that one’s martial path also seemed to be related to the types of martial arts they should be using.

A powerless sigh left Shang Xia’s lips after learning what he did. If he wasn’t wrong, when he informed Kou Chongxue about the theories of the five elements, the patriarch had already reached the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm.

It seemed as though he was really the child of luck of the You Continent! Even though he had already progressed more than halfway through the Martial Dipper Realm, he was still able to return to the correct path and unleash more than 90 percent of the power of his fate dippers!

It wasn’t as though Shang Xia wasn’t surprised by the feat. It was just that he was numb to the surprise Kou Chongxue brought him.

Once he was done learning what happened to Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue went to inspect Liu Qinglan’s injuries. He wasn’t in a rush to leave even though he saw that she showed no signs of waking. Instead, he worked together with Shang Xia to compress the world origin in the cauldron. contemporary romance

The Stellar cauldron naturally had the ability to store a massive amount of world origin. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to provide for an Elysium.

Shang Xia had only been concerned with absorbing and transforming world origin from the Azure Flame World earlier, and he merely stored whatever he could without being too bothered by it.

In actuality, the world origin that was stored could be compressed and turned into a mini sea of world origin.

One would need a lot of effort in order to do so, and Shang Xia just didn’t have the time to do so earlier!

Now that his cultivation reached the next level and the speed of absorption reached a ridiculous rate, he finally discovered how much world origin was leaking out from the cauldron.

Fortunately, Kou Chongxue came quickly and with their combined efforts, the world origin in the cauldron was compressed to the point where it turned into a small pool. With the conversion, he would be able to store more world origin.

Taking a look at their work, Shang Xia discovered that they had only filled a third of the cauldron!

“The world origin here will only allow us to make one round trip between the Azure Ascension World and the Azure Flame World!” Shang Xia sighed. No one knew if he was complaining about the difficulty obtaining enough world origin or if he felt that too much world origin needed to be used to transfer them over.

Making some secret calculations, if he filled a third of the cauldron with world origin, he would be able to transport more than 100 experts between the worlds. That would mean that if they filled the cauldron, they would only be able to complete 6 transfers.

A trace of doubt formed in Shang Xia’s mind and he asked worriedly, “Patriarch, if we want our Azure Ascension World to ascend, will we be able to store enough world origin in the Stellar Cauldron?”

“Relax. Our world is only a step away from ascension. The Sixth Order Ancestors made a rough calculation in the past and I did my own math. We should need two-thirds of the cauldron to be full of world origin if we want the Azure Ascension World to ascend!”

“Two-thirds?” Shang Xia peeked into the cauldron that was still filling up and he muttered, “So... That would mean that we already have half of what we need! No, wait... We need to take into account the world origin required to transfer us back. That would mean that we would need to fill three-quarters of the cauldron with world origin...”

Kou Chongxue chuckled, “That’s about right. Now that your cultivation has reached a new level, and the world origin in the Holy Land and city has fully transformed, the time needed to fill up the cauldron will be much less than before!”

Shang Xia understood that filling up two-thirds of the cauldron was probably Kou Chongxue’s goal all along from how nonchalant he was acting.

That would mean that the Azure Ascension World was truly a step away from completing the process!

After compressing world origin with Shang Xia, Kou Chongxue brought Gong Xinlan and left in a hurry. With the massive disturbance Shang Xia caused, the Azure Flame World should have been alerted to whatever they were doing. The battle would break out extremely soon. Kou Chongxue, Lu Wuzi, Yifeng, Jiudu, Huang Jinghan, and the others were ready for battle!

Also, Gong Xinlan restored her cultivation and was at the second element of the Martial Dipper Realm. At critical moments like that, no one could ignore her combat abilities!

As for the situation between her and the Yuanchen Sect, Kou Chongxue believed that Huang Jinghan and the others would be able to make the right decision. After all, she didn’t betray them. They were the ones who abandoned her.

After Kou Chongxue left, Shang Xia started to focus and he drew upon the world origin from the Azure Flame World with everything he had.

He didn’t know if he was imagining things, but he felt that the sea of world origin actually decreased a little.

The more he absorbed world origin, the clearer he could feel a sense of fear and rage directed at him from the World’s Will. The feeling was even starting to cloud his judgment.

With a trace of shock in his heart, Shang Xia understood that the World’s Will was starting to counterattack. The feeling it gave off was of wanting to assimilate with Shang Xia’s divine will, and he was getting a little confused.

Isn’t this... Isn’t this something that will only happen to peak-tier experts at the Martial Dipper Realm?

Could the World’s Will have already determined Shang Xia to be at the peak of the Martial Dipper Realm?

Thinking back to what Kou Chongxue said earlier, Shang Xia recalled how he mentioned most Martial Dipper Realm experts would only be able to utilize 70 percent of their fate dippers! Now that he surpassed that...

The sudden change caused him to no longer dare to draw world origin like what he was doing earlier. Other than separating a portion of his attention to observe the amount of world origin the cauldron contained, he could do a lot more now that he wasn’t going to use his full strength to absorb world origin. He split off a portion of his consciousness to attempt to open the bronze book.

Back then, Shang Xia stopped trying to open the book in order to refine his seventh set of fate dipper essences. With his cultivation reaching a new level, attempting to destroy the restriction on the book became much easier. He also had to include the fact that his Five Element Dipper Qi was extremely effective when it came to getting rid of restrictions.

As five colored light poured into the book, it also started to emit rays of light. When the light reached a certain intensity, the book finally flipped open.

When Shang Xia tried to read the contents of the book, he was interrupted by a massive blast that came from outside the Yanlin Holy Land.

It was extremely clear at that point that the Azure Flame World’s assault had begun!
