Splitting the Heavens

From the start, Shang Xia planned to use the world fragment to reach the next level of cultivation. However, he also planned to maximize the benefits it would bring to the Spirit Luxuriant World!

Well… He was planning to maximize the benefits to himself rather than the institution, but there was no need to sweat the small stuff.

Of course, that also didn’t mean that the Tongyou Institution wouldn’t be able to gain anything. It would only be slightly less than what they gained from the previous integration of the world fragment.

Shang Xia planned to do everything on the basis of pushing the growth of the Spirit Luxuriant World this time, and that was why he made several deals with the various factions before finally allowing the Spirit Ark to descend below the heavenly screen.

This time, Kou Chongxue wasn’t there to help him split up the world fragments and the members of the Tongyou Institution didn’t take up their positions in the various continents. He would have to do everything himself!

Even though he was doing it alone, others would still be able to benefit slightly.

Moreover, there were many members of the Tongyou Institution responsible for bringing the world fragment back, and Song Zhen was also involved!

After hearing Song Zhen’s report, Shang Xia discovered something. The effects of the World’s Will rejection on Song Zhen was growing weaker!

Song Zhen being a part of both world fragments’ integration, gained huge merits for the Spirit Luxuriant World. That was probably the reason behind the weakening of the World’s Will rejection.

“I am currently almost able to unleash the strength of a second tier True Immortal…” Song Zhen explained to Shang Xia. “After the fusion of the world fragment into the world… I might be able to cross the bottleneck and really unleash the might of a second tier True Immortal!”

One had to know that he was only at the second tier Martial Void Realm. Because he had been in his cultivation realm for tens of years and had multiple fortuitous encounters, he wasn’t far from reaching the third tier.

“Good. This is something worthy of our attention!” Shang Xia nodded in agreement, but he didn’t really know how useful it would be. After all, the extent of the weakening of the World’s Will rejection only proved that he made some contributions…

After assisting Shang Xia to unseal the world fragment, Song Zhen drove the Spirit Ark away with the members of the Tongyou Institution.

After they returned to the institution, they started to digest their gains from the journey and most of them would be able to experience an increase in cultivation after they emerged from seclusion.

Not long after Song Zhen and the others left, Shang Xia started to split the world fragment.

With his Stone Rod slamming into the fragment, a piece of land that was 6,000 miles wide was separated.

In order to split up the continent, Shang Xia unleashed Breaking World, but it was slightly different from the time he used it in battle. Compared to its terrifying effects in battle, it was a lot more well-controlled and struck accurately at several points on the world fragment.

It wasn’t an overkill because of the way he used it, and it could be said that with each stroke of the rod, the better he could control it.

Instead of sending the landmass that broke off to other continents, Shang Xia chose to place the first fragment in the You Continent.

Even though he prioritized his cultivation, he didn’t forget to strengthen the foundations of the You Continent.

He also had a sneaking suspicion that the stronger the continent became, the more beneficial it would be for his cultivation.

The You Continent had already reached a size of 12,000 miles and was only second to the Northern Sea Continent that was 17,000 miles wide and the Yong Continent that was 15,000 miles wide, being comparable to the Jiao Continent. Its foundations far surpassed the Jiao Continent.

With the integration of the landmass, the You Continent was able to reach the size of 15,000 miles and contend for the position of the second strongest continent in the Spirit Luxuriant World.

After a continent reached the state of perfection of a spirit world, increasing its size wasn’t as easy as before. A good deal of the world fragment would be wasted.

The members of the Tongyou Institution who were ready on the You Continent started its integration, reducing the wasted landmass to its minimum.

With the You Continent slowly digesting the fragment, Shang Xia changed his focus and looked at the Liang Continent Yang Taihe’s Eternal Palace planned to develop.

The Liang Continent was pretty well managed under the Eternal Palace, especially after Yifan became a True Immortal with its spirituality. It reached a size of 7,500 miles and it was much stronger than before.

Expanding the continent wasn’t something they could do in a short amount of time and natural disasters would be rife during the process. If no high-level experts gave their assistance to ease the fusion process, a huge piece of the landmass would be lost in the process.

Of course… After the continent had expanded, Yifan would receive the blessing of the world and even though it couldn’t be compared to the benefits Shang Xia would gain, it was still significant.

Shang Xia couldn’t prevent them from benefiting no matter what, and he didn’t have enough energy to absorb all the benefits himself.

Splitting off another landmass, he sent it to the Qing Continent that was managed by Jiu Jing of the Divine Capital Sect!

The Qing Continent had also surpassed the 7,000 miles mark under the administration of the Divine Capital Sect, and Shang Xia gave them a landmass of approximately 4,000 miles, same as that of the Eternal Palace.

Originally, the Liang Continent and Qing Continent were ranked among the weakest in the Spirit Luxuriant World, and it wasn’t actually worth it for Shang Xia to expand them. They were also very low on the list in terms of continents he wanted to help in the first place.

However… The terms Yang Taihe and Li Jidao gave were really too much that he decided to let them jump the queue for the time being!
