Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 981: Familiar Aura In the North

“Senior Sister Su, even though a part of the Elysium is gone, there is still some time before the Elysium is completely destroyed! 2 of the 3 Holy Artifacts are still here and there is no need to trap me in here! If we join hands, we should be able to hold the Heavenly Lake Elysium up for more than a year! Such a long time is more than enough to locate the thief who stole the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar or we can even craft another!”

Since she was trapped in the Heavenly Lake Elysium, she had been trying to suppress her rage to negotiate with the others for the time being. The most important thing she needed was for them to let her out.

There were even traces of pleading in her voice...

However, True Immortal Su Kun and True Immortal Chong Shan remained unmoved.

True Immortal Chong Shan eventually broke the silence. “True Immortal Tang, please stop the collapse for now. We’ll discuss everything else eventually.”

True Immortal Su Kun’s sign soon followed. “Junior Sister Tang Yu, there’s no need to panic. Our fellow True Immortals have already gone out to track down the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar. The Heavenly Lake Elysium is one of the 9 great Elysiums of our Spirit Abundance World and this concerns the safety of our world. They will definitely do their best to get the pillar back.”

True Immortal Tang Yu knew that she wasn’t able to forcefully shatter the seal placed by the other True Immortals, but she remained close to the entrance of the Heavenly Lake Elysium nonetheless. With a faint voice, she questioned, “What if we can’t find the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar?”

True Immortal Su Kun didn’t respond.

It might have only been several breaths of time since the other Martial Void Realm True Immortals left, the speed of a True Immortal was frightening. They would have been able to search the region right outside the heavenly screen or even the entire Spirit Abundance World several times over with their divine souls!

Since no one returned yet, it was more than likely they wouldn’t be able to retrieve the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar!

Finally, True Immortal Chong Shan responded, “If we can’t find it, we can only trouble True Immortal Tang Yu to remain and protect the Heavenly Lake Elysium for the next 3 to 5 years...”

Anger smoldered in her voice as True Immortal Tang Yu growled, “After so long, my Void Origin will definitely merge with the origin of the Elysium... When that happens, what will be the difference between myself and those True Immortals who used an Elysium to break through?”

As soon as the words left her lips, the expressions on the faces of True Immortal Su Kun and True Immortal Chong Shan turned unsightly.

The Spirit Abundance World might be one of the Spirit Worlds standing at the peak of its realm, but there were still quite a number of Martial Void Realm cultivators who broke through using the support of an Elysium. Actually, True Immortal Su Kun and True Immortal Chong Shan were both cultivators who used that method to break through!

That was also one of the reasons experts like them remained in the Spirit Abundance World even though an expedition to the Azure Oddity World was about to happen!

Both of them were exactly like Liu Jingsheng and the others from the Spirit Luxuriant World and their true bodies would not be able to venture too far away from their world!

True Immortal Chong Shan’s mocking sneer rang loudly in the Heavenly Lake Elysium the next moment, “So what if you become an ‘Elysium Immortal’?! Whatever it is, you’re still in control of the Heavenly Lake Elysium. Won’t you be unable to leave once you have to deal with matters there? Moreover, once you fuse with your Elysium, you will be much harder to kill than experts of the same level!”

True Immortal Su Kun’s indifferent voice also arrived the next moment. “Junior Sister Tang Yu, when you learned that you would be given the chance to obtain the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake, weren’t you happy celebrating the chance? You should know that with authority comes responsibility. Since you promised to take over the Heavenly Lake Elysium, you would have to assume responsibility for it once you stepped through its spatial barrier earlier!”

“I’m not saying I wont take on the responsibility, but you guys can’t trap me in here!” True Immortal Tang Yu screamed.

“Hmph, the moment True Immortal Su Kun and I release the barrier, you’ll definitely escape from the Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake.”True Immortal Chong Shan snorted.

True Immortal Tang Yu wasn’t resigned to her fate as she yelled, “The two of you can obviously help me in supporting the collapsing Elysium, but you’re not!”

“This is something related to your Solitary Peak Heavenly Lake. It’s not right for the both of us to butt into the problems of other Elysiums.” True Immortal Su Kun muttered in a frosty voice.

Seeing as they were unwilling to let her out, or give her any sort of assistance in a situation like that, she no longer held back with her threats. “Are you really not going to let me out? Fine! I’ll just stay here and wait for the Elysium to collapse. Even if I die, I won’t allow myself to be confined to an Elysium.”

True Immortal Chong Shan chuckled in amusement. “I didn’t think that True Immortal Tang Yu would possess such determination! I’m truly in awe... There’s no need to worry. This old man will stay here the whole time to watch how things play out.”

A soft sigh escaped True Immortal Su Kun’s lips. “It’s just going to be a lose-lose situation. Junior Sister Tang, if you merge your Void Origin with the Elysium, all that will happen is that you won’t be able to leave our Spirit Abundance World. If you choose not to do anything now, you will fall, along with the Heavenly Lake Elysium. You should understand the consequences of your actions!”

“This is a plot! This is something you guys planned!” True Immortal Tang Yu’s wretched scream came from within the Elysium. “Su Kun, did you plan for this to happen? Were you the one who sent a disciple to steal the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar?”

True Immortal Su Kun sighed and turned to True Immortal Chong Shang. “She seems to have already lost her mind...”

“Oh? I don’t think so. This old man thinks that she finally saw through her veils of deception...” True Immortal Chong Shan chuckled with a brilliant smile on his face.

True Immortal Su Kun was taken aback. A profound light shone in her eyes when she looked at True Immortal Chong Shan again. “You should be very satisfied with yourself after seeing what’s going on here, right? Junior Sister Tang is definitely going to hold a grudge against the Heaven Embroidery Palace after this...”

She paused slightly before she continued, “Perhaps... You’re the one who colluded with the foreign expert to steal the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar... If such... I have to admit that your schemes truly run deep...”

True Immortal Chong Shan was shocked by the accusation, but he replied quickly. “True Immortal Su, please don’t misunderstand. The Xiong Family or the Rainbow Pagoda might be behind this!”

“Is that really so?”

“Do you think it’s not possible for them to be involved in this?”

“Hehe...”

In their eyes, there was no way a Martial Dipper Realm cultivator could escape under the nose of a True Immortal! Much less retreat unharmed after multiple True Immortals went after them!

No matter how they looked at it, things didn’t make sense. The only explanation was if the Martial Dipper Realm cultivator was a pawn placed by another True Immortal and he received their help to get away!

...

Shang Xia’s rank five Teleportation Talisman allowed him to ignore the heavenly screen to escape the confines of the world. It was difficult for anyone to see his traces when he used it too. However, there was one very unstable factor and that was where it would transport him to after it was used!

Even after trying many times and gaining the ability to control the general direction in which he would be transported, the control he had over his movements was too crude. It was especially so when he used it to pass through the heavenly screen...

Earlier, when Shang Xia felt that he wouldn’t be able to stop True Immortal Tang Yu from getting closer, he activated his rank five Teleportation Talisman decisively. He managed to escape from the right under her nose!

What he didn’t expect was that his luck was pretty bad. It might have something to do with the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar he had stolen, but the moment he activated the talisman, he realized that he didn’t actually leave the confines of the heavenly screen!

Watching the setting sun and feeling the chill around him, Shang Xia carefully felt the ground beneath him and discovered that it was pretty much frozen solid. He instantly determined that he had arrived at one of the 3 continents in the Northern Region!

More accurately to say, he arrived in the territory of the Azure Island that resided in the Northern Region of the Spirit Abundance World!

Even though he was in a rush to leave, he didn’t rush towards the heavenly screen immediately to run away into the vast sea of stars. He concealed his aura and assimilated his Five Element Origin into the world around him. Avoiding the feeling of rejection from the World’s Will and its hostility, he seemed no different from an ordinary cultivator of the Spirit Abundance World.

Even if a high-level expert stood in front of him, they wouldn’t be able to tell that he was a cultivator from another world!

It was an ability unique to Shang Xia’s Five Element Origin and it allowed him to retain his full combat abilities in the Spirit Abundance World.

Starting to walk down the frozen wasteland before him, Shang Xia looked like an ordinary cultivator out for a stroll. It didn’t take long before his sensitive divine will noticed a powerful divine soul sweeping through the frozen wasteland. As it continued to look around, it started to rise before passing the heavenly screen.

Shang Xia was nearly certain the divine soul that appeared earlier came from a True Immortal looking for him!

It seemed as though the matter in the Heavenly Lake Elysium had already attracted the attention of True Immortals from the various powers. Shang Xia discovered that the impact of his action might not be as simple as he imagined. He didn’t know what would happen to the Heavenly Lake Elysium after he stole their Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar, and how True Immortal Tang Yu would deal with the situation.

However, no matter what happened, Shang Xia knew for sure that True Immortal Tang Yu probably hated him to the bone!

Thinking about how he incurred the wrath of a Martial Void Realm expert, it was surprising that he didn’t feel a trace of fear. Instead, his heart was filled with a sense of exhilaration!

“Heh, heh, heh...” Shang Xia couldn’t help but chuckle in a low voice. He continued to travel through the frozen wasteland and after moving for close to 100 miles, he scanned his surroundings with his divine will and ensured that there was no one else before cupping his right ear and swinging his head around.

Opening his palm, a tiny rod that was the size of a toothpick appeared in his hand.

The treasure was none other than the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar he stole from the Heavenly Lake Elysium!

The Holy Artifact Spirit was extremely powerful and it already developed intelligence. It was nearly impossible for Shang Xia to store it in a spatial artifact.

Fortunately, he was able to control its size at will after refining it. In order to prevent True Immortals from discovering its presence, he shrank it down and placed it inside his ear.

“I wonder how Senior Huang Yu is doing...” Shang Xia mumbled to himself. Huang Yu escaped from the Heavenly Lake Elysium earlier than him and if Shang Xia wasn’t mistaken, Huang Yu would have already passed through the heavenly screen to escape.

With how careful Huang Yu was, there was no way he would wait for Shang Xia outside the heavenly screen. He most likely already ran off somewhere to hide while changing his identity.

Shang Xia understood that it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to appear outside the heavenly screen at the moment as he would probably run into the True Immortals looking for him. No matter how confident he was in his ability to disguise himself, he knew that there was no need to take the risk.

Moreover... As he traveled through the frozen wasteland. He had a faint sense of familiarity as though he had been there before...

Looks like things are getting interesting...
