Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1750: Heaven Observation Great Constellation Talisman

Shang Xia always made extensive preparations before facing his enemies as long as he had the ability to do so. Upon realizing the appearance of the Jiuyin Ark would attract the attention of all the Sages spying on the Heaven Observation Field, he had already called for his stone rod that had been placed in the Spirit Ruling World.

Before advancing to the Seven Star Realm, Shang Xia placed 7 Spirit Calming Vessels in several worlds. 3 of them had been destroyed during his advancement after the Sages stationed in those worlds discovered them. The 4 that remained were located in the Spirit Ruling World, Spirit Faith World, the southern region of the Essence Ping World, and the Spirit Light World. The Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar was the first Spirit Calming Vessel Shang Xia placed back then, and it was the strongest among them all.

After it was nourished by the World Origin Source of the Spirit Ruling World due to the importance it played in the Spirit Ruling World’s ascension, it underwent another transformation. It reached a horrifying level and nearly reached a level similar to that of the projection of the Crimson Soul Tablet when wielded by Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar. It was another trump card he prepared for the final battle.

At the crucial moment, the trump card he prepared did not disappoint him. Just as his Origin Star Avatar was about to be stripped by the Star Origin Lord’s clone, the Heaven Supporting Jade Pillar returned from deep in the void. Like a celestial arrow, it pierced the Star Origin Lord’s clone, rescuing his Origin Star Avatar.

With the Star Origin Lord out of the picture for the time being, Shang Xia himself crossed the void. He sent another beam of starlight to force Gu Yi back again.

His skill of summoning a beam of starlight was created when he faced Sage Yu Kun outside the Spirit Thistle World. He had been refining it over the past 2 years and it became a highly sophisticated rank seven ability. Of course, there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Even with the vast distance them weakening Shang Xia’s attack slightly, Gu Yi was no fool. There was no need for him to face the attack of a second star Sage head-on. In fact, if not for Gu Yi’s suppression, his descendant might have already fought for control for his body to run.

Although there was a slight loss of control over his descendant’s body, Shang Xia didn’t take the chance to follow up and attack Gu Yi again. He regrouped with his Origin Star Avatar and both of them stood with their backs against each other.

Shang Xia’s gaze eventually landed on the Star Origin Lord’s clone who had been pierced by the stone rod.

Even after taking the mighty hit that was even stronger than Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar’s attack that instakilled Sage Chen Ji’s clone, the Star Origin Lord’s clone didn’t disintegrate into pure energy like the rest to be absorbed by the Spirit Luxuriant World.

As a second star Sage, the moment Shang Xia felt the Star Origin Lord’s clone being stabbed by his rod, he also discovered a profound and mighty will entering the clone. The brief burst elevated the clone far beyond a second star Sage before it fell back to the peak of the first star.

However, the brief moment was enough to stabilize the clone’s form and suppress the violent burst of energy from Shang Xia’s weapon.

Shang Xia even faintly sensed that the profound and vast will had landed on him, nearly freezing his soul the instant he attacked.

Thankfully, he had been cultivating with his Man and Heaven Synergy Chapter since a long time ago, making his soul far stronger than others. Also, the Crimson Soul Tablet was also provoked by the gaze and it assisted Shang Xia in his resistance, allowing him to recover quickly.

The other Sages also discovered the mighty descent. A horrifying power also filled the void at that moment, surprising those present. Other than Shang Xia, there was another second star Sage!

There was no need to wonder. It could only be Zhuo Gudao who had personally arrived on the battlefield once again.

Earlier, Shang Xia intended to deliver a finishing blow to the Star Origin Lord’s clone. However, he didn’t dare to act rashly with Zhuo Gudao revealing his cultivation. He even started to slowly adjust his position, prepared to confront Zhuo Gudao if necessary.

With Shang Xia’s distraction, the Star Origin Lord’s clone revealed a slight smile that seemed to say something to Shang Xia before retreating into the depths of the void.

There was no outburst of energy that came from the death of the clone, not giving the Spirit Luxuriant World another boost.

With the Star Origin Lord gone, Shang Xia and his Origin Star Avatar rearranged their formation once again. Shang Xia faced Zhuo Gudao while his avatar stared down Sage Jin and Gu Yi.

By then... Zhuo Gudao had retracted his aura once again. From how familiar he had done it, his cultivation might have reached the second star before Shang Xia and he had been hiding it the entire time.

"Sage Shang... I didn’t think that you would really be able to restore the Heaven Observation Great Constellation Talisman!” Zhuo Gudao exclaimed, drawing the attention of the other Sages. With a complicated expression, he continued, “This talisman is one of the great talismans of the Heaven Observation Sect. It’s something that has only been developed by the ancestors of the sect a long time ago after endless observation and records of the stars. It is also one of the most important reasons the Heaven Observation Sect was able to dominate the sea of stars with multiple Sages back then. The main reason is that the talisman can greatly lower the difficulty of advancing to the Martial Emptiness Realm!”

As Zhuo Gutao finished speaking, Shang Xia noticed that nearly every single Sage had turned to look at him.

Raising an eyebrow, Shang Xia sneered in response. "To my knowledge, that is not the case. Indeed, I have reconstructed the Variant Formation Talisman I received, but it was created by the Star Origin Lord. I only managed to restore it after reaching my current level, not before!

Zhuo Gudao seemed to intentionally ignore Shang Xia’s claims and he quickly continued, “You might not know, but because of how the Sages of the Heaven Observation Field observes the stars, every single diagram they recorded is different. As such, the way they wield the Power of the Stars is also different. Naturally, there are many ways to create the talisman.”

Looking at his Origin Star Avatar, Zhuo Gudao continued, “What you managed to restore is the Star Origin Lord’s creation, the Heaven Observation Great Constellation Talisman. That means that you have already obtained the inheritance of the Heaven Observation Sect. The Star Origin Lord wouldn’t destroy a branch of his sect... That is probably why he left.”
