BXBX NOVEL Chapter 888: Reliance
Chapter 888: Reliance
Of course, the extra world origin that was provided wouldn’t be wasted. After the ascension process was complete, it would facilitate the growth of the world. Naturally, trying to use it to reach the next level of transformation would be impossible.
Because of the more than abundant world origin, the World’s Will descended early and allowed the experts who took part in the operation in the Azure Flame World to receive its blessing.
The experts in the cave quickly used the chance to attempt their breakthrough. Shang Xia was no exception. The moment the blessing came, Shang Xia’s speed of refinement reached an unprecedented level. He was able to refine the fate dipper essences in his hand quickly and he could feel the strengthened aura of those around him.
Martial Extermination Realm experts were the first to complete their improvement. Those who had extermination origins that were suitable for themselves quickly started the refinement process when the blessing descended, and it didn’t take long for them to be done.
Shang Xia split off a part of his consciousness to observe his surroundings and noticed that Tian Mengzi, Chu Jia, Dou Zhong, and Yan Ming reached the fourth layer of the Martial Extermination Realm in one go.
Sun Haiwei was a little different. She managed to comprehend her martial intent fully and reach the grand completion stage of the Martial Extermination Realm. In fact, she stood right at the border of entering the Martial Dipper Realm!
Liu Qinglan, who had been in a coma since they stepped foot onto the Azure Flame World, showed signs of waking up.
The next batch of experts to complete their cultivation was surprisingly not those who were in the early stages of the Martial Dipper Realm. In fact, it was Huang Jinghan and the rest!
Huang Jinghan, Yifeng, Jiu Du, and Lu Wuzi suffered setbacks in their cultivation due to the heavy bombardment during the last phase of the battle in the Yanlin City. All of them dropped a level and even though they could restore their cultivation to the fourth element of the Martial Dipper Realm when they were on the way back, they chose to stay at the peak of the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm.
With the blessing from the World’s Will, they easily returned to the fourth element of the Martial Dipper Realm.
The second they restored their cultivation, their figures blurred as they disappeared from the cave.
Even though it hadn’t been long since they restored their cultivation, Shang Xia could tell that the auras around them were much stronger than the time they were in the Yanlin City. Their foundations also seemed to have become a lot more solid.
The reason they left immediately was because the Azure Ascension World was too heavily damaged. The situation was bleak and they didn’t have the luxury of time on their side any longer.
Not too long after they left, the Martial Extermination Realm experts did the same. They didn’t have time to consolidate their foundations as they rushed back to their respective factions.
Following which, the next batch of Martial Dipper Realm experts was done. They were those who had lost Fate Dipper Clones back in the Azure Flame World. Like Huang Jinghan and the other peak-tier experts, they possessed further room for improvement after their recent breakthrough. They left the cave immediately and they either returned to their faction or rushed to the heavenly screen to take part in the battle.
If any of them were to survive the upcoming battle, when the Azure Ascension World completed its transformation into a Spirit World, they would definitely improve once again.
After they left, 5 or so other Martial Dipper Realm experts awakened from their cultivation.
Unlike those who lost Fate Dipper Clones, these were those who truly advanced to the next level of cultivation. They refined a new fate dipper, and Shang Xia was also classified along with them as he completed the refinement of his eighth set of fate dipper essences when they awakened.
It was also then that Shang Xia thought back to the time when Huang Jinghan and the other peak-tier experts left after restoring their cultivation. The process where they grew stronger was replayed in his mind and before he knew it, he felt a faint feeling that he could overlook everything.
When he opened his eyes again, more than half the 100 or so cultivators who were brought back were gone.
There were also many who were planning to leave, but the group of people Shang Xia was looking at seemed to be stuck in a strange situation.
All of them were true blue Martial Dipper Realm experts. Due to the battle in the Azure Flame World, their cultivations had regressed back to the Martial Extermination Ream. With the period of recovery, they were able to return to the Martial Dipper Realm. Surprisingly, they didn’t need any advancement medicine to do so. The only problem was that they needed more time to consolidate their foundations.
However, they didn’t seem to care about restoring themselves to their peak state. Now that they regained their abilities in the Martial Dipper Realm, they were in a rush to leave.
Finally, there were only 10 or so Martial Extermination Realm experts left. Everyone from the Tongyou Institution was also present.
The other Martial Extermination Realm experts were either comprehending their martial intent with the blessing given to them by the World’s Will, or they were breaking through to the Martial Dipper Realm. They either had their advancement medicine on hand, or they managed to craft some with the resources they took from the Yanlin Clan in the Azure Flame World. There was abundant world origin in the cave at the moment, and it was enough for them to charge into the martial Dipper Realm.
Clearly, breaking through to a whole new level was a lot more difficult than the others who were restoring their cultivation realms or simply advancing in the same cultivation realm. They needed a lot of time to complete the transformation of their dantian and it wasn’t certain that they would succeed. Of course, it goes without saying that their chances of success were much higher than normal.
“Brother Shang, how many Origin Dippers do you think all of us managed to obtain after the trip to the Azure Flame World? Why do I feel like so many of us managed to restore their cultivation, grow stronger, or even break through to the Martial Dipper Realm? From the looks of it, the number of experts we have in the Martial Dipper Realm would be higher than when we left for the Azure Flame World...” Dou Zhong asked. It was rare that he would take the initiative to speak first.
Shang Xia chuckled in response, “After their Fate Dipper Clones were destroyed, many of them managed to retrieve a portion of fate dipper essences contained in it. As such, they can cut their losses to the minimum. Also, even though we were outnumbered by the experts of the Azure Flame World, our experts held a firm advantage in terms of individual strength. After killing them and obtaining their fate dipper essences, it’s easy for us to gather Origin Dippers. They would be able to retrieve their fallen comrades’ fate dipper essences, but we definitely obtained more...”
“Also, there’s the matter of the Yanlin Clan’s foundations. The treasures and fate dipper essences or Origin Dippers they gathered for hundreds of years were plundered by us. We also managed to obtain advancement formulas during the process and that is why we could gather so many...” Shang Xia paused for a second before he continued, “Naturally, we will also have to thank the fact that all of us chose to carry out trades with each other during the transfer back. That is how everyone gathered enough resources for themselves...”
“What should we do next?! Do we leave them here and return to the You Continent? What if the experts of the Spirit Abundance World find them?” Sun Haiwei whispered. She reached the grand completion stage of the martial Dipper Realm and was focusing on controlling her fluctuating aura at the moment. After all, she just broke through and was unable to properly utilize her strength. She was afraid to disrupt those who were attempting their breakthrough.
Raising his head to look at the entrance to the cave, Shang Xia seemed to be able to see the intense battle happening at the heavenly screen. He muttered, “There’s no need to bother. We should return to the You Continent as quickly as possible. Patriarch Kou will be here to oversee the situation and there won’t be any accidents!”
It was true. He was able to see the situation above the heavenly screen at the moment.
Kou Chongxue might be assisted by the Stellar Cauldron and World’s Will at the moment and was able to burst forth with the abilities of a Sixth Order expert, but their opponent was just far too scary. With his battle capabilities comparable to a first tier Sixth Order expert, Kou Chongxue only had the qualifications to assist Liu Jingsheng in the fight against Dugu Yuanshan.
Moreover, Kou Chongxue was extremely clear about his own abilities. He remained at the very edge of the battle and he wouldn’t take on Dugu Yuanshan’s attacks alone. If he couldn’t bear it any longer, he would return to the Azure Ascension World to hide.
The blessing of the world also descended on Kou Chongxue, and as the person who started the entire plan of plundering world origin from the Azure Flame World for the Azure Ascension World’s ascension, he received the greatest blessing of them all! However, it was clear it wasn’t enough for him to step into the Sixth Order.
Unlike the other Sixth Order Ancestors of the Azure Ascension World, he didn’t have the support of an Elysium!
