Chapter 1761: Moving the World

Although Shang Xia realized that he might be the best candidate to pioneer a unique martial path for Talisman Grandmasters based on the principles of the Talisman Seed, he clearly had no intention of doing so, at least not at the present moment. He lacked the time, and more importantly, he saw no pressing need to pursue such a path.

That said, if an opportunity presented itself, he wouldn’t mind attempting to craft and nurture a rank seven Talisman Seed to see whether it would help him cultivate a second martial intent before advancing to the Eighth Order. At the very least, it would boost his personal combat strength.

However, the higher the rank, the more difficult it became to craft a Talisman Seed. Leaving aside other obstacles, even gathering 7 different types of rank seven talisman inheritances was a formidable challenge.

Moreover, the talismans had to be similar in attributes. Ideally, they had to be interrelated to minimize the complexity and failure rate of forming the Talisman Seed.

As things stood, the only rank seven talisman he could make was the Origin Star Talisman.

There was, however, a possibility to elevate the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman to the seventh rank. It was designed with the standards of rank seven talismans in mind, but the creator wasn’t accomplished enough in the dao of talismans. That resulted in the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talismans being a top-tier rank six defensive talisman.

Shang Xia, having already explored every detail of the talisman during previous crafting attempts, had the skill necessary to improve and upgrade its quality to seventh rank.

Moreover, the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman was the closest thing to a rank seven talisman he had in his arsenal.

Of course, crafting and researching talismans required time, and time was what he lacked the most.

He left the Talisman Hall still pondering this issue when a transmission talisman suddenly arrived. It came from the void and brought him back to reality.

"Hmm, so it’s about to begin?" After scanning the contents and thinking briefly, Shang Xia summoned his Origin Star Avatar.

The original Spirit Luxuriant Hall had been destroyed in the battle between multiple Sages during the world ascension. The newly rebuilt palace was larger in scale and had been renamed to the Essence Luxuriant Hall. Now that Shang Xia had reached the second star of the Seven Star Realm, he could create another clone without the aid of the Origin Star Robe.

Unfortunately, even with the robe’s support, his clone was stuck at the peak of the first star. The only benefit was that he consumed a lot less Seven Star Qi when creating his clone.

After dispatching his Origin Star Avatar to the Essence Luxuriant Hall, Shang Xia concealed himself above the You Continent and entered a deep meditative state, continuing his cultivation based on his yet-to-be-completed rank seven arts.

Although he had received much of the World Will’s blessing, the remaining benefits he received were comparatively smaller than what others gained.

Nevertheless, those limited rewards still allowed him to make significant progress in developing his rank seven arts.

Just before entering meditation, a thought flashed through his mind. Perhaps it was time to accelerate the construction of the Dao Field. After all, it was unbecoming for a dignified Sage to be cultivating in the skies.

Meanwhile, his Origin Star Avatar had already arrived at the Essence Luxuriant Palace. He quickly took the main seat, and even though he was technically a clone, it could still be referred to as his Origin Star Avatar.

The True Immortals quickly rose to greet him.

After returning their greetings and getting everyone to sit down again, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar looked around. Apart from the representatives of each major power, there were several unfamiliar faces.

Among them were the 4 True Immortals from the mini Spirit Lyric World, led by Gu Mingzheng. The others were True Immortals who stepped into their current realm due to the world ascension.

Most of the new True Immortals came from sects that had possessed their own Holy Lands, while the remainder were from smaller factions or clans. There were only a couple of wandering cultivators..

Still, any such unaffiliated True Immortal could easily rally a force equivalent to a mid-sized sect or clan if they wanted to.

Apart from the native True Immortals of the Essence Luxuriant World, 2 foreign experts were also present. Xiao Yugang and True Immortal Bao from the Azure Qing World had come.

True Immortal Bao came as a clone as he was an Elysium True Immortal and couldn’t attend in person.

Fortunately, a Five Elements Teleportation Formation had already been established between the Essence Luxuriant World and the Azure Qing World. The Essence Luxuriant Palace was located above the heavenly screen, allowing his clone to remain.

It was rumored that another martial artist in the Azure Qing World had recently broken through to the Martial Void Realm and was now in secluded cultivation, consolidating their advancement.

That would mean that the Azure Qing World had 3 True Immortals!

It was considered quite respectable compared to the other Azure Worlds within the Heaven Observation Field before everything happened. However, among the current remaining Azure Worlds, it was merely average.

With the Star Curtain on the verge of collapse and the looming threat of other superpowers outside, the higher-ups of the various worlds knew what would happen.

All of their worlds were trying to prove themselves. Boosting the number of high-level experts was one strategy. Aligning with powerful worlds for protection was another.

The Azure Qing World was clearly attempting to do both.

Since the integration of the Azure Qing World had already received the support of the major factions in the Essence Luxuriant World, the meeting was focused on ironing out the details and risks of the merger process.

Throughout the meeting, Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar remained mostly silent. He acted more like an observer than a participant.

In truth, Shang Xia intended for the matter to be handled by the Elysium-level powers themselves, hoping they could collaborate to bring the plan to fruition.

Nonetheless, not a single True Immortal in the Essence Luxuriant World dared ignore his presence.

After all, completing the merger would ultimately require Shang Xia, a Sage, to provide the necessary deterrence.

Following the meeting, the major factions began deploying personnel and organizing their Star Ships. With the escort of the Tongyou Institution’s large-scale Star Ship and Spirit Ark, a grand convoy soared out of the heavenly screen. They crossed the chaotic streams to the Azure Qing World.
