Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1243: Heading Out



Chapter 1243: Heading Out

Shen Chongshan came slightly later than Shang Xia expected.

Shen Chongshan looked a lot more tired and disheveled than he once was when he arrived in the chaotic region of space outside the Star Beast Nest, but Shang Xia could see the look of anticipation in his eyes.

It might be because Shang Xia had already succeeded twice in the past, but Shen Chongshan held great hopes for Shang Xia to produce another.

When Shang Xia personally went out to welcome him, Shen Chongshan didn’t notice the serious look in his eyes and he asked hastily, “True Immortal Shang, about the third Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman…”

Shang Xia turned away from the void behind Shen Chongshan and revealed a smile. “Relax. I completed it.”

Shen Chongshan immediately revealed a joyful expression.

“However…” Shang Xia’s tone changed.

Looking at the anxious expression blooming on Shen Chongshan’s face, Shang Xia chuckled with amusement, “I didn’t just produce a Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman. I made 2 of them.”

“2?!” Shen Chongshan exclaimed in fright. “Where is it?!”

As soon as the words left his lips, he realized his mistake. Knowing how rude he sounded, he coughed softly and hid the look of shock on his face. “My apologies… True Immortal Shang, you have always surprised me with your accomplishments… I wonder where those talismans are…”

Actually, Shang Xia completed 3 Myriad Tinted Cloud Talismans. 2 of them were made with the special talisman paper Shen Chongshan provided, while the other was made with ordinary talisman paper.

According to the agreement they had, Shang Xia only needed to give a single Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman to the Wanyun Association, but because they were made with the 5 sheets of special talisman paper he was given and his desire to form a deeper connection with the Wanyun Association, Shang Xia decided to give him 2 of them.

As for the final Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman… Shang Xia decided to keep it for himself to learn of its true might.

He could see the look of excitement on Shen Chongshan’s face and Shang Xia couldn’t help but laugh, “I got lucky this time… Because I succeeded an extra time, your Wanyun Association will possess 4 Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman. Even though True Immortal Gong said that you will need 3 of them to solve your problem, I feel like having another talisman will give you an added sense of security and allow you to react to any contingencies.”

Shen Chongshan was speechless at that point, and he could only give Shang Xia a deep bow.

He eventually took out a bunch of talisman paper from his spatial artifact and passed it to Shang Xia.

“This…” Shang Xia was clear. Other than 5 sheets of special rank six talisman paper, there were more than 10 types of rank six talisman paper of different color. There were also 30 or so rank five talisman papers.

Shen Chongshan finally composed himself and he hurriedly explained, “Of these talisman papers, 5 of them are specially prepared for you to craft Myriad Tinted Cloud Talismans. My Martial Uncle specially informed me that whether or not you succeed in crafting the talisman, we hope that you can continue to craft other rank six talismans. It’s the same for rank five talismans and we shall use the agreement you proposed with 3 sheets of talisman paper for a rank five talisman.”

“What a coincidence.” Shang Xia chuckled with amusement. “I feel extremely bored recently and I crafted some rank six talismans. Since you brought so many talisman paper over…”

Shang Xia’s tone changed again. “... Since I already crafted some talismans, let’s just take these talisman papers and those you provided before as payment. I’ll give you several talismans I have already crafted.”

Shen Chongshan wanted to decline Shang Xia’s gesture of goodwill as he felt that it was unfair for him to get his hands on so many talismans so easily, but Shang Xia insisted. He could only accept the arrangement and get 5 rank six talismans for the 15 sheets of rank six talisman paper he provided.

Of them, there were 2 True Space Restriction Palm Talisman, an Abyss Prison Emptiness Talisman, an Illusion Talisman, and an Ice Ruins Talisman he just learned from the inheritance Shen Chongshan provided.

The Illusion Talisman was the new product that could allow an expert to pretend to be a high-level True Immortal. He managed to craft it after gaining inspiration from the talisman used by the members of the Essence Ming World.

Other than studying the talisman used to increase one’s cultivation realm, Shang Xia also obtained the 2 rank six talismans used by the expert of the Essence Ming World to attempt to steal his weapons. He called them the Spirit Sealing Talisman.

Because the talismans were greatly exhausted by the time he noticed them, Shang Xia knew that it would take a lot of time and effort to restore them, and he decided to do it next time.

He only crafted the Ice Ruins Talisman because he wanted to familiarize himself with the talismans of the Essence Xing World. After the Ice Ruins Talisman was activated, the region around the user would turn into a world of ice. It was even more powerful than the True Space Restriction Palm Talisman.

The might and difficulty of crafting the Talisman were average in terms of rank six talismans.

Shen Chongshan was satisfied with the 5 rank six talismans he was provided with, but after he was done, he didn’t stay for a second longer as he prepared to bring his talismans back.

Shang Xia stared at the region of chaotic space where Shen Chongshan left and he knew that the trip back would be fraught with dangers. A hazy light flashed through his eyes and he seemed to be struggling to make a decision.

However, he eventually thought of what to do.

With his figure blurring slightly, his aura started to grow weaker for a split second before steadily solidifying itself again.

Shaking his head, he turned and returned to the Star Beast Nest.

Even though his aura seemed slightly more restrained and he had the cover of the Star Beast Nest, anyone who wasn’t absolutely stupid would be able to tell that there was a high-level True Immortal in the Star Beast Nest.

At the same time, a concealed figure rushed into the region of chaotic space without causing any sort of disturbance.
