Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1452: Who’s The Lucky One Now?

Above the heavenly screen of the Essence Xing World, 2 majestic figures covered in light sat facing each other. The chessboard between them was full, and they seemed to be in the middle of a match.

As one of the strongest Essence Worlds, even if they were experiencing a massive war that would change the fate of their world, everything was peaceful outside. In fact, even the streams of Star Ships that came from other places to trade with them didn’t stop.

There was no lack of True Immortals among the Star Ships, but no one managed to detect the presence of the 2 lofty figures covered in light.

It was as though they existed in a completely separate space.

Their conversation was even more hidden...

“I didn’t think that Senior Qi Jing would look for you in the end, Brother Yu Tang...” The figure on the right spoke casually. A layer of purple mist emerged to cover his body.

“Life and death... Everything comes naturally. When my time comes, and the Yu Dynasty hasn’t produced another Sage, I might do the same as Senior Qi Jing. Hm... I might even go even further...” The expert on the left revealed a golden glow in his eyes and it seemed like he was treating it even more casually.

Sage Chen Ji, the expert who was covered in a layer of purple by that point, sighed, “Our Essence Xing World hasn’t improved in the past hundreds of years. Only by nurturing a Sage who isn’t restricted to our world would we be able to break the stalemate and progress further.”

Sage Yu Tang, who was covered in golden light, chuckled softly. “Brother Chen Ji, if you said this 100 years ago, I might hesitate slightly. I might even join hands with you.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Oh? Brother Tang, why did you change your mind? Did Senior Qi Jing offer you something you cannot refuse?” Chen Ji asked.

Yu Tang continued to laugh. “Not really. I simply learned of the situation in the Heaven Observation Field.”

Chen Ji sank into silence instantly. Only after some time did he continue, “Since we know that the Heaven Observation Field is about to reveal itself, you should know how important a Sage who isn’t bound to our world is...”

Yu Tang smiled in response. “Isn’t the Heaven Observation Field right in front of us? Why should we use so much effort to raise a Celestial Sage?”

“We might not succeed in taking down the Heaven Observation Field even if it’s right beside us. From a long term standpoint, possessing a Celestial Sage will be greatly beneficial to our world.” Chen Ji’s voice was low and he was clearly displeased with Yu Tang’s response.

Despite his change in attitude, Yu Tang didn’t seem to care. He continued calmly, “Brother Chen, you’re right. However, why do we need to rush things? We have a way to satisfy both sides laid out in front of us. There’s no need to make things so messy.”

“What do you mean?” Chen Ji’s tone was growing frostier by the second.

Yu Tang ignored his gloomy mood and continued, “We can let the junior of the Qi Dynasty advance now. Once he succeeds, our Essence Xing World will still have 3 Sages. Moreover, the junior of your Chen Dynasty probably already has strong accumulations, enough to break through to become a Celestial Sage, right?”

“The moment they succeed, our world will have 4 Sages. Once the Heaven Observation Field is revealed several dozen years later, all 4 of us will join hands, greatly increasing our chances of success. Even if your junior fails to advance now, it will only take several dozen years for him to find another opportunity once the Heaven Observation Field opens.” Yu Tang sighed.

Eventually, a deep growl escaped Chen Ji’s lips. “Brother Yu Tang, are you really so short sighted? Are you afraid that my Chen Dynasty will suppress you once we possess 2 Sages?”

Yu Tang coughed lightly once and composed himself before speaking, “That is indeed a consideration. Brother Chen, you have always been domineering and your junior is the same. That is the reason I am willing to give the Qi Dynasty’s junior a chance. However, that is all I will give him. Brother Chen, your junior has a higher success rate, but I wish to prevent both sides from falling out. If anything goes wrong, we might even cause the destruction of our world...”

Chen Ji snorted coldly in response, “Looks like we can’t reach an agreement. It’s best if we go our separate ways then.”

After he spoke, the majestic light figure departed.

The other figure remained in place and sighed softly before taking his leave.

...

In the skies above the Qi Dynasty, the emperors who were at the grand completion stage of the Martial Void Realm had reached the key point in their battle. The outcome would concern the fate of the Qi Dynasty Dao Field.

The experts of both sides were also locked in combat, and from a certain standpoint, the members of the Chen Dynasty were attacking aggressively and possessed all the momentum. The experts of the Qi Dynasty could only defend passively.

Even with Qi Jing laying down the path for his juniors, the Qi Dynasty Emperor had yet to become a Sage. There was a portion of experts in the Qi Dynasty who chose to save themselves and watch the battle from the side.

Fortunately, the Qi Dynasty Dao Field was a massive fortress in itself. Even though the experts of the Chen Dynasty outnumbered them, they were still able to defend.

With the intense battle that was happening, the Dao Field still suffered some damage and the stability of the space contained within the Dao Field also experienced some problems.

At the critical moment, a powerful faction entered the battle under the banner of the Qi Dynasty.

The faction that joined was made up of a mishmash of experts. There were True Immortals from the Elysiums in desolate continents, and there were also experts who had been targeted by the Chen Dynasty. There were also those people like Gong Zhuo who managed to escape from the clutches of the Chen Dynasty and others...

As soon as they joined the battle, they targeted the experts of the Chen Dynasty. However, they were clearly much less restrained than the experts of the dynasties. They didn’t care about the consequences and caused as much destruction as possible.

With their entry, the experts of the Chen Dynasty were quickly beaten back. However, everything was happening in the Qi Dynasty’s territory and the damage they caused was massive. They seemed exceptionally excited to wreck the Qi Dynasty Dao Field as well, hopefully causing more energy left behind from the death of Sage Qi Jing to leak out to the world.

The True Immortals who joined the battle at the critical moment wanted to stop the Chen Dynasty from producing another Sage, but they didn’t really wish to see another Sage born in the Qi Dynasty as well!

Their actions only served to help cover Shang Xia’s actions of stealing world origin.

Using the Crimson Soul Tablet to suck up as much world origin from the World Origin Source as possible, the stronger the suction force, the more likely someone was to discover his actions.

However, with the battle causing the Qi Dynasty Dao Field’s energy to leak, most of the energy returned to the World Origin Source again and created a veil to hide what he was doing.
