Chapter 1220: Golden Crow Blood, Emperor Flow Liquid



Chapter 1220: Golden Crow Blood, Emperor Flow Liquid

The situation in the worlds around the Star Origin Dao Field was extremely colorful at the moment, and with everything they found out, the Spirit Luxuriant World wouldn’t dare to fight among themselves at the current moment.

Shang Xia didn’t wish to make things difficult for the Heavenly Star Palace. However, Yin Jingxu had clearly chosen to try leaving the Jiao Continent when Kou Chongxue wasn’t present and Shang Xia’s true body being at the Star Beast Nest because of his strange plans.

What he didn’t count on was that even though Shang Xia sent a clone, his clone would be a second tier True Immortal. He was more than capable of suppressing Yin Jingxu who was only at the peak of the first tier of the Martial Void Realm.

After discussing their plans for the Star Beast Nest and how to approach the Essence Xing World, the great powers started to allocate their tasks.

This time, they weren’t planning to let the other factions of the Spirit Luxuriant World take part in the operation. In fact, they didn’t even expose the existence.

It wasn’t that they wanted to keep the information for themselves. Because Shang Xia had already contacted the Essence Xing World under the guise of being a high-level True Immortal from the Essence Ping World, in order to prevent exposing themselves, the fewer people involved the better.

In the blink of an eye, slightly more than half a year passed and the 16th year of the Spirit Luxuriant Calendar arrived.

The great powers completed their first stage of preparation to set up the Star Beast Nest, and the only thing left to do was to see if the Tongyou Institution’s Five Element Teleportation Formation was like what they said and wouldn’t leave behind traces during the transfer.

During the time Shang Xia’s clone had been waiting diligently for the Sun to rise each day and the full Moon of every month. Only when the sun was up could he collect Golden Crow Blood, and only during the full moon would there be Emperor Flow Liquid.

Unlike the worlds that revolved around a star, the Sun and Moon each day was more of a representation of the World’s Will. As long as the world remained and the World’s Will was intact, the Sun and Moon would appear high in the skies.

As the strongest existence in the Spirit Luxuriant World, even though Shang Xia only sent a clone to collect those resources, he was able to get close enough to gather whatever he required.

Of course, he could only approach them to a certain extent. After he got too close, his clone would feel the urge to fuse and merge into them to become part of the world.

Shang Xia was no stranger to the feeling. When he first entered the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm and sunk his consciousness into the You Continent, he was almost assimilated by the World Origin Source.

Golden Crow Blood could only be collected when sunlight was the most intense at noon. However, it wasn’t as though the most intense sunlight would be striking down on the You Continent every single day so Shang Xia had to be running through the various continents all the time.

He could only rely on his luck and continue to persevere in order to collect any.

After all the hard work, Shang Xia managed to collect 8 drops of Golden Crow Blood that contained the essence of the Sun.

Collecting Emperor Flow Liquid was a little easier. Even though there were only 7 times he encountered the full moon, he might be able to gather Emperor Flow Liquid on the 14th, 15th, or 16th of the month.

More importantly, Golden Crow Blood would appear for a short time and if it wasn’t contained properly, it would dissipate.

Emperor Flow Liquid was different. It could come into contact with the earth and if it wasn’t collected in time, it would simply fuse into whatever it came into contact with and nurture the plants around it into spiritual herbs.

Shang Xia’s clone had to gather Golden Crow Blood personally, but he could send out members of the institution to gather Emperor Flow Liquid.

It was easy for Shang Xia to store Golden Crow Blood if he was present, but the same couldn’t be said for Emperor Flow Liquid. The other members of the institution could collect it, but it wasn’t easy for them to store it properly. As such, they would inform Shang Xia’s clone the moment they found any and he would rush over immediately. He would have to bring it back to the Star Observatory before tossing it into the pool of Star Essence Liquid under the Starry Tree.

When Shang Xia brought back his 8 drops of Golden Crow Blood to the Star Observatory, he looked at the pool of Star Essence Liquid that was sparkling with faint light.

“The Golden Crow Blood that contains the essence of the Sun, and the Emperor Flow Liquid that contains the essence of the Moon... Along with the Star Essence Liquid that contains the essence of the Stars... If you are really able to fuse them together... You can call it the Three Light Water...” Shang Xia thought for a moment before speaking. What he learned back then was that the combination of the different essences would create the Three Light Divine Water, but he decided to leave a word out.

“Three Light Water?” Yuan Qiuyuan retrieved the bottle of Emperor Crow Blood from Shang Xia, he thought for a moment before mumbling, “Let’s call it that then.”

Shang Xia’s clone nodded and continued, “Try your best to fuse them together. Don’t be afraid of failure. Even if you use up these Essence Crow Blood, I can always gather more.”

After leaving behind a few more instructions for Yuan Qiuyuan and Xin Lu, Shang Xia’s clone wanted to leave. However, he was stopped by Xin Lu at the very last second.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Shang Xia’s clone could guess what she wanted to talk about and he asked, “Is this going to be related to Grandmaster Xiao Shengyi?”

Xin Lu let out a soft sigh after hearing how Shang Xia had already guessed it and mumbled, “Even though we managed to hoodwink them using the Heavenly Star Palace as a disguise, there is no way Xing Xingtian wouldn’t suspect Senior Brother Xiao having a hand in this. He might even extend that suspicion to me. If that happens, he would be able to connect the dots and link you to the person who was responsible for infiltrating the Star Observatory back then...”

Shang Xia’s clone chuckled in response, “Do you really think Xing Xingtian is still suspecting that I’m the one behind this? He’s probably sure I was the one responsible. The Star Origin Dao Field might not be big, but how many people can leave so easily after causing so much trouble? They lost a Stargazer and we immediately located another Star Beast Nest... How can there be so many coincidences in the world?”

“This... Wouldn’t they try to take revenge?” Xin Lu gasped.

Shang Xia’s clone nearly burst out laughing. “Heh, no matter what, they don’t have any hard evidence that I was the one behind this. Moreover, if they try to take any action now, they will definitely disrupt the peace between the worlds.”

Xin Lu suddenly asked again, “Is this... Is this also because you became a high-level True Immortal?”

“Not entirely. However, you can rest assured that I’ll tell you anything I learn about the Star Observatory in the Star Origin Dao Field once I learn anything.” Shang Xia’s clone muttered softly.

When he was done, he left for the separate space that had been carved out in the Tongyou Elysium for the restoration of the Essence Refining Void Returning Formation. He noticed that other than Gu Qing and several other lonely souls, there wasn’t anyone else present.

“Formation Master Gu, where is everyone?” Shang Xia asked.

His sudden appearance shocked Gu Qing who was explaining the dao of formations to the other weaker Formation Masters in the institution.

Jumping in fright, Gu Qing took some time to compose himself before he asked, “True Immortal Shang, have you not heard?”

Shang Xia’s clone was taken aback by his question and raised an eyebrow in slight confusion. “What haven’t I heard?”

“The Five Element Teleportation Formation that leads to the Jiao Continent is about to be established. Hall Master Chu brought nearly everyone over to do up the finishing touches. If not because I had something to do here, I would also like to take a look at the formation that uses a slightly different principle from spatial transfer...”

Gu Qing was a rank four Formation Grandmaster Shang Xia saved back when the Azure Oddity World was being destroyed. Because he was restoring the Essence Refining Void Returning Formation Tong Yutang used to enter the fourth tier of the Martial Void Realm, he hadn’t stepped out of the Tongyou Elysium.

“Oh right, that... Shit, I almost forgot.” Shang Xia’s clone slapped his forehead before nodding once to Gu Qing and disappearing from the Tongyou Elysium.

Gu Qing couldn’t help but shake his head slowly. He turned around, only to see the Formation Masters looking at Shang Xia’s original spot. Immediately getting annoyed, he snapped at them, “What are you still looking at? You guys better be a little more humble and not think of flying before you can walk. If you’re able to reach a high enough level in the dao of formations, spatial travel like what he did would be a snap of your fingers away!”

One of the students who were listening to him yelled suddenly, “Instructor Gu, wouldn’t that mean that you should be able to travel through the void as easily as True Immortal Shang?”

“...”

...

Above the heavenly screen above the Jiao Continent, the True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World gathered once again. The Elysium True Immortals who could create clones merely sent a clone over. Yin Jingxu and Lu Wuzi came with their true bodies.

Seeing Shang Xia’s clone appear, Lu Wuzi chuckled, “I thought you wouldn’t be coming!”

An awkward smile appeared on Shang Xia’s clone’s face and he mumbled, “Sorry, I was busy collecting some things recently and if not for a sudden reminder, I would have forgotten about this...”

“True Immortal Little Shang, you have been rushing about the various continents, chasing after the sun and moon... Did you manage to get what you were looking for?” Yang Taihe’s clone asked.

Naturally, his actions hadn’t gone unnoticed by the other True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World.

He didn’t intend to hide anything from them and he coughed once and continued, “I gained a little, but it’s far from what I need...”

Zhang Xuansheng’s clone asked suddenly, “In the months that passed, I noticed the Tongyou Institution’s teleportation formation to the Bing Continent and to the other territories. Like what True Immortal Little Shang said, they didn’t leave behind any spatial fluctuations. The only issue is that the activation of the formation will cause pretty significant disturbance in the void and it’s something that isn’t as good as opening a long-range spatial tunnel.”

Shang Xia’s clone chuckled in response, “The Five Element Teleportation Formation was created by Formation Grandmaster Chu Jia of my institution and she has been working on it ever since it was created. It’s not too difficult to reduce the disturbance during the activation of the formation. The only thing we need to do is to use a little more essence crystals and it’s not really worth it for us to do it in our Spirit Luxuriant World. After all, there is no need for us to hide our tracks when carrying out transfers to our own territories.”

Zhang Xuansheng’s clone nodded slowly after hearing Shang Xia’s explanation. “That is true...”
