Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1755: Rapidly Increasing Strength of the Essence Luxuriant World
Chapter 1755: Rapidly Increasing Strength of the Essence Luxuriant World
Standing above the heavenly screen, Shang Xia’s senses extended into the World Origin Source of the You Continent as he observed the changes after the world ascension.
What surprised him most was that the World Origin Source not only expanded in size, but it also had the effect of nurturing the soul. Not only would he be able to return to the world, he could also resume his cultivation.
However, what piqued his interest even more was the fact that, aside from sustaining his soul, the World Origin Source connected to the You Continent could support more True Immortals. One had to know that even in Spirit Worlds, 1 continent could only support 1 True Immortal.
When Shang Xia completed his breakthrough to the Seven Star Realm, if not for the fact that he forced the Spirit Luxuriant World to ascend, the You Continent might not actually be able to house the soul of a Sage even with its size that had crossed the 13,000 miles mark.
With the world ascension, Shang Xia managed to push the You Continent to a size of 20,000 miles with the help of those in the institution. It became the largest continent in the Essence Luxuriant World!
Based on Shang Xia’s prior understanding of Essence Worlds, a continent would be able to support 3 to 5 True Immortals.
If that was the case... Would it mean that Shang Xia’s soul was equivalent to 3 True Immortals?
However, he soon discovered he couldn’t go about thinking that way. It wasn’t accurate to compare his soul to that of True Immortals.
Any continent in an Essence World needed to be at least 10,000 miles wide. Because of its size and the strength of the World Origin Source, a continent would be able to house 3 True Immortals or so. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
However, not all souls of True Immortals were equal. The soul of a high-level True Immortal would naturally be stronger than someone who just broke through. A True Immortal at the peak of the Martial Void Realm would naturally suppress the rest within the same World Origin Source.
As for someone like Shang Xia... The presence of his soul in the World Origin Source would be even more dominant!
From his perspective, though the You Continent could support 2 more True Immortals, if anyone dared to brand their souls there, under the suppression of his soul, their cultivation speed wouldn’t just be suppressed. They might never be able to become high-level True Immortals!
It wasn’t that he was deliberately suppressing them. It was simply the natural disparity between a Sage and those of lower ranks. He had no control over it as the capacity of the World Origin Source was fundamentally limited.
One had to remember that the You Continent spanned over 20,000 miles. Even in developed Essence Worlds, it would be considered in the middle tiers. In the newly born Essence Luxuriant World, it was the largest continent.
Originally, it was estimated that the You Continent would be able to support 5 True Immortals. However, with the presence of Shang Xia, it could only support 2 low-level True Immortals.
Moreover, that might not last for long. Shang Xia’s cultivation was basically shooting up like a rocket. He reached the peak of the second star and it wouldn’t be long before he became a third star Sage. If he was fortunate enough to encounter another opportunity, it might happen soon.
When it happens, his soul would become even stronger and there would be even fewer spots to support True Immortals.
Also... From other channels, Shang Xia learned that a continent would reach a state of perfection in an Essence World when it reached 30,000 miles in size.
At that level, the World Origin Source would be able to support 7 True Immortals.
However, because the souls of high-level True Immortals were much stronger, a continent which had reached a state of perfection might not be able to realistically accommodate 7 True Immortals.
"Hmm... Even though the number of True Immortals our world can hold has increased, but the battle for control of the World Origin Source in the future will become even more intense.” Shang Xia mumbled to himself.
As he thought about the implications, he informed the upper echelons of the Tongyou Institution. He hoped that they could quickly arrange for the capable experts in the institution to quickly break through, taking up the slots of advancement in the various continents.
It wasn’t an attempt by them to seize even more advancement quotas. Instead, it was their rightful share based on the percentage of World Origin Source they controlled. They either obtained those through negotiations, or some other methods.
Before the Essence Luxuriant World formed, the Tongyou Institution fully controlled the World Origin Source of the You Continent, Jiao Continent, and Bing Continent. They had great influence over the Ji Continent and Hai Continent.
In the past, they helped those continents reach the state of perfection in exchange for control over the World Origin Source. By helping them complete their development, the institution secured slots for future breakthroughs. Moreover, they also had control over the World Origin Source of the Yan Continent, the other Ji Continent, and the Liao Continent.
It was clear that the world ascension would lead to an explosive increase in the number of True Immortals.
If the Tongyou Institution could prepare their experts to take up the slots for breakthrough before the other experts, they would gain a valuable head start in the upcoming competition.
"We can’t help it." Shang Xia thought to himself. "Although the You Continent still appears to have room for a True Immortal or two, because of my presence, it’s impossible for us to let anyone else advance here.”
"The same goes for the Jiao Continent. Patriarch Kou has already reached the grand completion stage. He will soon attempt a breakthrough to the Martial Emptiness Realm with the aid of the World’s Will blessing. It would be best if no True Immortals appear in the Jiao Continent.”
"With this, 2 of the continents we control are no longer viable to contain True Immortals!” Shang Xia sighed helplessly. "Even though Patriarch Kou and I prepared in advance and secured advancement spots in other continents, there still isn’t enough!”
"Maybe it’s time our institution prepares to establish our Dao Field...”
