Chapter 711: Boost From a Holy Land
Yun Lu always thought that the greatest enemy he would face would be ‘Kou Chongxue’ who was stationed in the Tongyou Mysterious World at the moment.
However, it didn’t actually matter if ‘Kou Chongxue’ was actually the one directing everything at the moment. He forgot one important point and that was the spiritual beasts who were following the stream of world origin at the moment.
Yun Lu understood the simple theory that the beasts might go crazy after he took away the stream of world origin, causing great destruction to the You Continent. Unfortunately, he seemed to be ignoring the fact that anyone who tried snatching the stream of world origin at the moment would turn into the enemy of those spiritual beasts!
In the Tongyou Mysterious World, Shang Xia made the decision to split away a part of world origin in order to lead those spiritual beasts into the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range. Yun Lu’s goal was to obtain the world origin that had been directed away.
The moment he made his move, the outcome was decided. It didn’t matter if he was a Martial Dipper Realm Ancestor or not. Even Shang Xia, who was also at the Martial Dipper Realm, needed the assistance and suppression of world origin to keep the beasts in check. Without world origin, those beasts would eventually die. With the threat of their lives, they chose to strike back at Yun Lu.
The spiritual beast who led the counterattack was naturally a high-level beast. It was the Lightning Bird who had already become a rank four spiritual beast. It was surrounded by 300 or so Mutated Rain Swallows, and they made the first move as an example for the other spiritual beasts in their horde.
Earlier, the Lightning Bird gathered the strength of the entire flock. With its innate skill and the assistance from the other Mutated Rain Swallows, the strength of the attack was no weaker than a strike from a Martial Dipper Realm expert. The bolt of silver lightning it generated shattered the spatial tunnel created by Yun Lu.
With the successful counterattack, the curtains of resistance were drawn and the other beasts started to make their move.
High-level spiritual beasts emerged from the horde. They also possessed the strength to shatter space and they had the ability to deal with any further attempts to steal the stream of world origin. After all, if one of their attacks didn’t work, they would just take turns to launch an offensive at any new spatial tunnels that formed. Under their constant bombardment, it would shatter regardless.
Naturally, they couldn’t avoid world origin being sucked away while they attempted to destroy the spatial tunnel, but the amount that would be taken eventually would be insignificant when compared to the massive stream they followed.
The only person who was actually affected by the repeated attempts to steal world origin was Yun Lu. He tried time and time again, but he returned empty handed. On his last attempt, he suffered a loss in the hands of a bunch of spiritual beasts. He truly turned into a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone who was keeping an eye on the situation.
Obviously, Yun Lu felt that he had to prove himself after being humiliated multiple times.
Not to mention the fact that those spiritual beasts were about to enter the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range. Yun Lu’s plan to use the beasts to cause large-scale damage to the You Continent was basically thwarted at that point. The only thing he could be thankful for was the fact that the streams of world origin were getting closer and it would be much easier for him to obtain it.
From what happened earlier, he could tell that ‘Kou Chongxue’ had reached his limit and would no longer be able to control the streams of world origin perfectly.
“Hmph, no matter how flowery your methods are, I’m still going to be able to take the world origin for myself!” Yun Lu snorted coldly. Right before he could make his move, the stream of world origin that was leading the groups of beasts in the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range scattered. It spread through the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range and filled the entire region of land.
“How…” Yun Lu was stuck in a state of disbelief as he looked at what happened before him.
Whatever it was, he was a Martial Dipper Realm Ancestor and he quickly realized what had happened. The world origin stream was split among the various spiritual beast packs.
Shang Xia wanted to lead those beasts into the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range, and as they got closer, they discovered that the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range was an extremely suitable habitat for them to live.
The high-level beasts among them had the ability to control world origin to a certain extent in the first place. The only reason they stuck together earlier was because they were fleeing from the battlefield between the two worlds and had to do so in order to leave. The amount of world origin they brought with them naturally resulted in a massive flood when they emerged in the You Continent. Now that they arrived in the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range, they would quickly start establishing their own territories.
With the departure of every single spiritual beast pack, a portion of world origin would be separated from the stream. As they quickly broke off, the stream of world origin didn’t take long to be completely split up.
There were tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of beasts that emerged from the battlefield between the two worlds. As they brought a portion of world origin away to whatever location they found in the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range, the stream quickly disappeared. Yun Lu was unable to collect them all.
Was he supposed to connect spatial tunnels to each and every living spiritual beast in the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range to collect world origin? That wasn’t actually possible.
What was more, those spiritual beasts and creatures who emerged would start to refine the world origin they brought along in order to familiarize themselves to their surroundings.
Also, Yun Lu didn’t have the guts to actually step into the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range if he wished to collect world origin himself.
At the end of the day, Yun Lu’s huge ‘scheme’ he thought of to take revenge on the Tongyou Institution for what they had done to him back then was completely useless. He obtained a small portion of world origin, but it was so little that it couldn’t even fill him up.
Enraged, Yun Lu roared and swung his arms, scattering the bit of world origin he painstakingly collected. As it spread 5 miles across wherever he was, the world origin nurtured the land around. After a few years, the entire region would turn into a blessed land where low-level cultivators would go around to find spiritual herbs and treasures.
With the spiritual beasts entering the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range, their threat to the You Continent had been dealt with. Everyone in the You Continent heaved a sigh of relief and those who were keeping an eye on the situation couldn’t help but release gasps of admiration.
Throughout the process, Shang Xia’s ability to control world origin truly shocked all of them.
As he hadn’t revealed his identity, everyone thought that Kou Chongxue was the one behind everything.
With the situation at hand, be it Shang Xia who was in the Tongyou Mysterious World or Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion… All of them were happy with the misunderstanding.
The more those outside the You Continent were afraid, the more time they could buy for the ascension of the Tongyou Mysterious World.
“Are you guys really going to watch as the Tongyou Mysterious World becomes the Tongyou Paradise?!” Yun Lu yelled reluctantly while staring in the direction of the You Continent.
Unfortunately, silence was all that replied to him. It was as though those observing the situation from other continents weren’t there.
Also… Yun Lu, who was yelling the most aggressively among them all, stood firmly inside the Ji Continent. He didn’t even dare to take a single step into the You Continent.
Luo Baixu chuckled softly in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion high above. “Looks like your Tongyou Institution is going to ascend to the Tongyou Paradise without much problems. No one will dare to mess with you now.”
Pausing slightly, Luo Baixu turned a little serious before speaking again. “Congratulations!”
Xu Bailing also became a little serious as he cupped his fists towards Shang Bo and Ji Wenlong. “Congratulations!”
Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo glanced at each other before cupping their fists back in response, “Many thanks.”
Looking at the 4 of them, no one would think that they had just been through an intense fight.
Xu Bailing broke out into laughter the next moment. “According to our original agreement, we were supposed to be putting on a show when we fought. We had always been prepared to take action if any experts tried to interfere with the ascension. Now that Patriarch Kou instilled fear in them with his powerful abilities. Even without our assistance, you should be fine. However, our Changbai Sect might need your help for what we’re about to do…”
Ji Wenlong muttered in a low voice, “Since we already have an arrangement, our Tongyou Institution will keep our promises.”
Shang Bo quickly followed up, “Of course, according to our original agreement, you didn’t need to do anything to help us. Since we’re going to help you, we’ll take 70 percent of the battlefield between the two worlds!”
“Impossible! You best not forget how you 2 had been suppressed by us earlier. If neither of us help each other, we are supposed to gain 70 percent of the land. If you help us, we’ll split it down the middle!”
“Hey, we’re the ones at an advantage in the battlefield between the two worlds. Also, you guys saw how we dealt with a large portion of those spiritual beasts.” Ji Wenlong retorted.
Shang Bo quickly added, “Should Patriarch Kou be the one to explain the reasoning to you guys?”
Clearly, Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo had gotten used to using Kou Chongxue’s name. They were planning to use it to the fullest.
Eventually, Luo Baixu muttered, “60 percent. You can get 60 percent of the battlefield between the two worlds.”
“Senior Brother…” Xu Bailing panicked.
However, he was stopped with a single gesture from Luo Baixu.
“Alright, 60 percent it is!” Ji Wenlong agreed immediately.
“However, the mountainous regions between our worlds must belong to the institution.” Shang Bo added.
Luo Baixu didn’t waste any time and he agreed.
Xu Bailing couldn’t help but turn to Luo Baixu as he questioned, “Senior Brother, why are you agreeing to all of that?”
Instead of replying, Luo Baixu turned to Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo with a wide grin. “When the Triple Frost Palace attacks, I will have to trouble you to assist my Changbai Holy Land!”
“This…”
Hearing who they were up against, Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo knew that they had been scammed.
Luo Baixu seemed to have detected the movements of the Triple Frost Palace a long time ago. However, he didn’t say anything to the others and managed to make Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo promise to help them. Even Xu Bailing was kept in the dark until that moment.
Back then when Kou Chongxue made the promise on behalf of the institution, the matter had already been set. Since they brought it up again, there was no way they could reject it.
Seeing the look of hesitation on Ji Wenlong and Shang Bo’s face, Luo Baixu chuckled with a smile that didn’t seem like one. “What’s the matter? Are you afraid that someone will try to obstruct the ascension of the Tongyou Mysterious World? With Kou Chongxue taking charge of the situation there, who’s crazy enough to mess with you guys?”
Luo Baixu’s smile caused Shang Bo’s heart to skip a beat. He felt as though the old expert had already detected something.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll follow you guys into the Azure Spiritual World. Chief Ji can stay behind to watch over the situation and ensure the smooth ascension.” Shang Bo spoke immediately.
Because of the way Ji Wenlong broke through, he was unable to leave the You Continent. Shang Bo wasn’t restricted the same way as him.
Ji Wenlong nodded slightly and added, “Even though I am unable to personally head for the Azure Spiritual World, I can still provide my assistance at a critical moment.”
“Many thanks to fellow cultivators then! However, there’s no need to call us the Azure Origin or Azure Spiritual world any longer. Our worlds will combine as one and we will all be living under the same heavens. In the future, we can be considered neighbors for real!” Luo Baixu chuckled.
Since the Martial Dipper Realm Ancestors in the Beyond Heavens Pavilion had stopped fighting, the secret of their alliance had been revealed. There was no need for any more pretense.
Not too long after Shang Bo left with Luo Baixu and Xu Bailing, Ji Wenlong’s had a strange feeling as he raised his head to look at the Void Abyss that used to be between both worlds.
The pavilion that stood tall trembled slightly before rising slowly.
Even though his cultivation didn’t rise, he could feel himself getting stronger. The aura he emitted grew by several times and he roared with laughter, “It’s done! Hahaha!”
