Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1401: Shark Tank

Even though some people might guess that the Spirit Luxuriant World’s Spirit Ark would travel through the chaotic streams and try to stop them, the senses of experts in the chaotic streams of space were extremely limited. Moreover, not many people would be able to try to stop them.

As long as they weren’t completely surrounded by countless experts and were suppressed completely in terms of combat strength, Shang Xia wasn’t afraid of anyone in the Heaven Observation Field! Even the sixth tier True Immortal of the Star Observation Dao Field wouldn’t faze Shang Xia.

... Of course, he could feel free to head over if he was able to leave the Star Origin Lord Manor.

Yan Ming was fine with either choice. Since they had already entered the Heaven Observation Field, Yan Ming wasn’t afraid of getting lost. She was able to communicate with the Star Observatory of the Tongyou Institution with some secret art now that they were close.

Several days passed and they skirted around the Azure Sea World. They entered the region of space around the Spirit Luxuriant World and everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. Their journey was safe, but they were on high alert the entire time.

After entering the region of space around the Spirit Luxuriant World, the last of Shang Xia’s worries was gone. He wasn’t afraid of anyone trying to stop them. He simply instructed Yan Ming to fly straight towards the heavenly screen.

They were also discovered by the patrol ships around the Spirit Luxuriant World the moment they left the chaotic streams earlier. Of course, they didn’t bother them once they learned that it was the Spirit Ark of the Tongyou Institution.

Shang Xia silently praised the abilities of the Spirit Luxuriant World. They finally reached a certain standard required of a Spirit World to properly control the region of space around their world.

As the ark approached the heavenly screen, more and more patrol ships gathered around it. However, they no longer seemed to be trying to verify the identity of the Spirit Ark. Instead, they were trying to board it to pay their respects to Shang Xia. It didn’t matter if their intention was simply to greet Shang Xia or to hear that he had successfully obtained a world fragment to hasten the growth of the world. They would be content as long as they could board the ship.

Of course... They were only curious as to what was brought back. They didn’t dare to ask Shang Xia to spare them a part of the world fragment. Neither was there anyone trying to use the opportunity to get close to the Tongyou Institution.

It wasn’t that they were far sighted so as not to piss Shang Xia off, or if they were suppressing their intention, but all of them knew that they didn’t have the qualifications to talk to Shang Xia about such matters. In fact, they weren’t even qualified to meet him!

Shang Xia wasn’t surprised about the situation. He even prepared for it. He used Yan Ming, a fourth element Martial Dipper Realm expert of the institution who was also a powerful Stargazer to greet them. She was enough to send most of them away, and for the more important or senior members of the Spirit Luxuriant World, Song Zhen was sent to send them off.

Of course... It wasn’t as though Shang Xia refused to meet anyone. He would personally meet the members of the Tongyou Institution who approached or their allies.

All of them went to look for Shang Xia on the request of their elders and they were sent over to report what happened in the time they were gone. They spoke about matters that happened in the recent month in the Spirit Luxuriant World, Star Origin Dao Field, Spirit Abundance World, Spirit Mammoth World, and how many people had been heading to the Azure Sea World.

When they were finally 40,000 miles from the heavenly screen, a heavyweight senior of the Spirit Luxuriant World finally arrived. This time, Shang Xia had to show his face.

“True Immortal Yang, what made you come over personally?” Shang Xia was slightly taken aback. However, he maintained a modest expression due to the difference in their seniority.

Yang Taihe broke out laughing immediately. “True Immortal Little Shang, every move you make can cause our world to tremble. It’s nothing we can compare with and I’m here to try my luck...”

As Shang Xia invited him into the ship, he didn’t hide whatever they were transporting. The world fragment was revealed to Yang Taihe.

After entering the interior of the Spirit Ark, Yang Taihe discovered the world fragment instantly. He looked at Shang Xia with a profound gaze and sighed, “This... This really leaves me speechless...”

Shang Xia invited him into one of the chambers and got someone to bring the tea before a smile appeared on his face, “True Immortal Yang, is something the matter?”

“I am here because of the Liang Continent... Little Shang, are you willing to give me a small portion of land from the world fragment so that the Liang Continent can reach a state of perfection?” Yang Taihe didn’t beat about the bush either.

“Of course, “ Yang Taihe paused before he continued, “I’m not asking for you to give it to me for free. My Eternal Palace is willing to compensate you accordingly!”

“Oh?” Shang Xia raised an eyebrow in response. He wouldn’t reject a trade of that level. Moreover, he brought the world fragment back in order to hasten the growth of the world in the first place. The blessing of the world would descend on him when the time came, so he wasn’t worried about giving the Eternal Palace a piece of the world fragment. A smile appeared on his face and he asked, “Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the Liang Continent less than 7,000 miles wide?”

Yang Taihe chuckled, “It has surpassed 7,000 miles with our combined efforts. My Eternal Palace cannot compare ourselves to you, but we are still able to strengthen the foundations of a continent and allow it to grow slowly...”

Shang Xia nodded once. “In that case, you will need to increase the landmass by 3,000 miles or so. Even though the world fragment is mostly intact, a good portion will be lost during the fusion process. To allow the Liang Continent to reach a state of perfection... That will mean you will need a piece of land that is around 4,000 miles wide?”

They were experienced when it came to integrating world fragments. Also, when they were talking about the size of the world, they didn’t use such exact measurements.

Yang Taihe instantly revealed an expression of joy. “Little Shang, that is a little much, but that would be great!”

Shang Xia nodded slowly. “In that case, your Eternal Palace is offering...”

...

The Spirit Ark didn’t immediately enter the Spirit Luxuriant World. Like before, it hovered outside for some time.

In the days that passed, the heads of many factions took turns heading up to greet Shang Xia.

No one knew what was discussed with them or the agreements that were reached. In order to obtain a piece of world fragment from him, many factions paid a huge amount that they didn’t disclose to the rest of the world.

However, one thing was clear. Shang Xia and the Tongyou Institution definitely made a killing! In fact, in the dozen or so years that will pass, the Tongyou Institution might produce even more True Immortals!
