Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1621: The Last One
Chapter 1621: The Last One
While Shang Xia felt confident about his mastery of the Five Element Movement Art, he decided to act cautiously and wait for the three high-level True Immortals on the heavenly screen to leave before making a move.
As an experienced heavenly screen hopper who often smuggled himself into other worlds, Shang Xia was more than patient.
Hiding in the void more than 10,000 miles away for more than half a day, he saw transmission talismans appearing from various directions. There was no doubt about it. They were definitely used to report the situation in various regions of the void to the high-level True Immortals
He could guess that they were sent from the True Immortals who had been sent out, and with their failure to locate anything or anyone, Shang Xia felt that they would soon let down their guard. Once that happened, it would be his best opportunity to sneak into the Spirit World.
Maybe because his luck wasn’t the best or maybe because good things took time, just as the True Immortals above the heavenly screen were about to leave, a subtle but profound spatial fluctuation suddenly arose from the void not too far away..
The 3 high-level True Immortals seemed to learn of something as they quickly instructed the other 2 before all of them rushed in the direction of the spatial disturbance.
As for Shang Xia, he sensed the instant the space began to fluctuate that someone was performing long-distance spatial travel. He used the cover of the invisible fluctuation to retreat tens of thousands of miles into the void.
Fortunately, Shang Xia acted quickly. The second he moved away, a middle-aged man who was clad in purple robes and wore an air of arrogance and solemnity, appeared outside the heavenly screen. The True Immortal had the aura of an expert at the level of Extreme Harmonization and the 5 who came were instantly suppressed.
"This... This person isn’t a native cultivator of the Spirit World!” After re-concealing himself in the void, Shang Xia almost immediately discerned that the newcomer’s aura was distinctly different from the 5.

However... The deferential attitude of the 5 when they welcomed him suggested that it wasn't just because of his personal cultivation that they were acting so respectfully... It was more possible that the newcomer came from a world far more powerful than the Spirit World!
Moreover, Shang Xia's recent entry into the region of space seemed to have been detected by something or someone, triggering a widespread search by both a Barbaric World and a Spirit World.
It was clear an ordinary Spirit World didn’t have the ability to detect his presence. It was more than likely that an Essence World detected the intrusion and it controlled the Spirit World he was staring at.
Only an Essence World with their Martial Emptiness Realm experts would be able to exert such a strong control over their Heavenly Field to detect an intruder like Shang Xia instantly.
Looking around, Shang Xia felt that things were about to turn complicated. He didn’t just barge into the void that contained a Spirit World. It was a Heavenly Field that was controlled by a powerful Essence World!
Not only could the presence of an Essence World affect his plans to place the last Spirit Calming Vessel, but its location at the exact center of the fifth Star Chart could potentially disrupt the alignment of the suns he needed for his advancement to the Seven Star Realm.
Regardless, Shang Xia decided not to worry too much about whether the fifth Star Chart was usable yet. He prepared to place his final Spirit Calming Vessel first, ready to use the third chart if necessary. He wasn’t even opposed to discarding the Spirit Calming Vessel he had placed and choosing another world if it proved too dangerous.
The sixth tier True Immortal Shang Xia suspected of coming from an Essence World didn’t enter the Spirit World, likely wary of the rejection of the World’s Will. He remained where he arrived and kept his distance from the heavenly screen.
Meanwhile, the 5 True Immortals remained respectful around the sixth tier True Immortal, nodding frequently at his instructions and to whatever he was saying.
Seizing the fleeting opportunity, Shang Xia made a wide detour in the void, approaching the other side of the heavenly screen far from the sixth tier True Immortal and local experts.
After stealthily closing back to within 10,000 miles of the heavenly screen and detecting no one wary of his presence, Shang Xia used the Five Element Movement Art to sneak into the Spirit World.
The second he moved, the sixth tier True Immortal seemed to sense something and glanced in the direction he entered the world. However, he failed to notice anything.
Shang Xia didn’t overestimate his abilities either and concealed his presence the moment he landed in the Spirit World.
Perhaps due to a large number of True Immortals they sent out and with the high-level True Immortals outside the heavenly screen, Shang Xia's entry went unnoticed, proceeding remarkably smoothly.
However, for caution's sake, Shang Xia still moved tens of thousands of miles away from his landing spot. With the size of continents in a Spirit World, he pretty much reached a different continent.
During the process, he easily learned from the conversations around him that he had infiltrated the Spirit Light World.
After finding a secluded area, Shang Xia expertly set up simple restrictions before using the Crimson Soul Tablet to locate the World Origin Source.
Since realizing the difficulties others faced in finding the World Origin Source and the importance of locating it easily, both Shang Xia and Kou Chongxue became a lot more cautious when revealing his ability to do so.
Since the strongest expert in the Spirit Light World was a fifth tier Elysium True Immortal, and seeing that they only had 3 high-level True Immortals who were all outside the heavenly screen at the moment, Shang Xia felt considerably reassured.
Through his communication with the Crimson Soul Tablet, Shang Xia sensed the location of the World Origin Source and started to draw world origin.
The only thing that surprised him was that the Crimson Soul Tablet showed no reaction when he tried to get it to devour world origin, showing how weak the Spirit World actually was.
Even Shang Xia’s Six Direction Qi didn’t assimilate the world origin much. It didn’t even seem effective to his own cultivation.
Nonetheless, having successfully communicated with the World Origin Source, Shang Xia placed his Spirit Calming Vessel deep within, establishing a crucial anchor point for his future advancement to the Seven Star Realm.
This time, the Spirit Calming Vessel Shang Xia chose was a long spear!
It was a high-grade weapon that Shang Xia had chosen for Shang Ke, the current patriarch of the Shang Clan. As he wanted to make it into a Spirit Calming Vessel, he retrieved it from Shang Ke the last time he returned.
Shang Ke naturally didn’t know what Shang Xia planned to do with the weapon. He definitely didn’t know it was related to his advancement to the Seven Star Realm, but since Shang Xia had requested for it, Shang Ke would give it to him without any hesitation.
Spear techniques were a significant emblem of the Shang Clan’s martial arts heritage. Given the clan’s overall foundation and strength, they had long since been qualified to pass down a Divine Artifact as their family heirloom. A mere high-grade weapon was something Shang Xia could play with as he wished.
