Chapter 1250: Strange Situation in the Essence Xing World

Shang Xia had always been interested in the Essence Xing World and what they were going through at the moment.

Unfortunately, he was unable to leave the Star Beast Nest due to the lack of True Immortals of the Spirit Luxuriant World. He had huge responsibilities, and he didn’t have the luxury to head over to the Essence Xing World.

As for the other high-level experts in the Star Beast Nest… Without the protection of a True Immortal, leaving the region of chaotic space would prove to be too difficult. There wasn’t even a need to mention they would have a problem locating the Essence Xing World, much less infiltrating it.

Shang Xia once tried to probe out the Essence Xing World from Gong Zhuo and Shen Chongshan. However, they were also extremely vigilant, and they skirted about his question as much as possible. Otherwise, they would only give him some information that wasn’t relevant to their current situation any longer.

With Zhang Mingjie and Lin Jingya coming to request talismans, Shang Xia planned to casually ask if the situation arose, but Lin Jingya didn’t seem too guarded. She revealed matters regarding the Dachen Dynasty and the Wanyun Association without a second thought.

The Wanyun Association was truly located on a floating region called the City Among the Clouds. It had always been hovering between the territories of 2 dynasties, and it was also where the Wanyun Elysium was located.

The reason behind the beef between the Dachen Dynasty and the Wanyun Association was that the dynasty wanted the City Among the Clouds to remain stationary and hover above a certain spot they had demarcated and to submit to the dynasty. The Dachen Dynasty also requested for them to open up their territory to be governed by officials of the dynasty.

Naturally, the Wanyun Association were no fools. For them to have existed so long outside the Dachen Dynasty’s rule, they had some abilities. The City Among the Clouds was a massive threat itself.

If they gave up the floating city, that would mean that they would lose their advantage altogether. When that happened, they might become the next Ten Winged Gate and crumble to the might of the Dachen Dynasty.

With both sides unable to reach an agreement, the Wanyun Association decided to leave the control of the dynasty.

Merely being able to float about in the clouds wasn’t enough to leave the influence of the Dachen Dynasty. Neither was having alliance mates ready to assist them. What they needed was the ability to resist an assault from the high-level experts of the dynasty.

When Shen Chongshan first looked for Shang Xia to obtain rank six Formation Talismans, that was because their grand formation was shattered by the experts of the Dachen Dynasty! Their City Among the Clouds nearly fell from the skies!

Even though they received 10 rank six Formation Talismans to stabilize their grand formation and prevent themselves from being grounded, the Dachen Dynasty didn’t stop there. They continued to hunt the Wanyun Association Down and the crisis was not resolved.

When everyone in the Essence Xing World thought that the Wanyun Association would eventually fall under the hands of the Dachen Dynasty as they would fail to secure the City Among the Clouds and the Wanyun Elysium, the city disappeared before their very eyes!

As soon as it happened, the great powers of the Essence Xing World recalled a distant memory and reached the same conclusion.

The Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman has reappeared!

That was a rank six talisman that left its mark hundreds of years ago. It was also the foundation of the Wanyun Association as a great power!

The only reason it wasn’t seen often was because it was too difficult to craft! It was comparable to a rank seven talisman, and the Wanyun Association no longer had the capabilities to craft it. That was also one of the reasons the Dachen Dynasty would launch an offensive against them. They finally determined that the Wanyun Association no longer had any Myriad Tinted Cloud Talismans through their channels.

No one expected that the Dachen Dynasty’s plan would be thwarted with the reappearance of another Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman.

Originally, the dynasty made ample preparations. Even if the Wanyun Association received strong support from outside powers, all that would happen would be an increase in difficulty in besieging the city. They even made multiple plans in case their plans went awry. The only thing they didn’t count on was the reappearance of the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman.

After the Dachen Dynasty pretty much surrounded the city and was about to take it down, the world was struck silly by the revelation of a Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman. The moment it was used, the city escaped from the encirclement.

Only then did the high-level experts of the Dachen Dynasty shift their focus. They were no longer concerned about the Wanyun Association, but the Talisman Grandmaster who managed to craft the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman!

After all… No matter how well a talisman could be preserved, its effects would eventually diminish.

The talismans the Wanyun Association used seemed to be at full power, and it contained terrifying might. Anyone could tell it was a newly made talisman!

Only 1 thought was left in the minds of the experts of the Essence Xing World.

When did another hidden Talisman Grandmaster appear?!

The high-level Talisman Grandmasters in the Essence Xing World were also flabbergasted by the sudden turn in events as basically every single great power sent a representative to look for them for more information. Eventually, they narrowed down their scope and all evidence pointed to the mysterious high-level True Immortal in the Star Beast Nest!

With Shen Chongshan obtaining the third Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman from Shang Xia, the Essence Xing World basically exploded in a flurry of struggles.

What Shang Xia observed in the region of chaotic space was merely a very tiny portion of what happened!

The Wanyun Association eventually managed to struggle free from their fate from the jaws of certain death when Shen Chongshan brought back the third Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman, and his return shocked the entire world. The mysterious Talisman Grandmaster didn’t craft 1 Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman. He successfully created 2 of them for Shen Chongshan!

Shen Chongshan might have utilized a Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman to escape from Zhang Mingjie which was a massive waste of resources, but it allowed him and Hou Tang to successfully return to the Essence Xing World.

When he brought the third Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman back to the city, they escaped from the encirclement yet again and saved their foundations.

Of course… Their escape didn’t mean that the situation in the Essence Xing World had eased up. Instead, the actions of the Wanyun Association seemed like a stimulant that pushed the conflict between the dynasties and other great powers in the Essence Xing World to the edge of eruption.

Lin Jingya might have ignored Zhang Mingjie’s expression which was getting uglier by the second as she revealed more and more information to Shang Xia, but she clearly knew her limits. She didn’t mention more after saying how the Wanyun Association escaped.

Shang Xia couldn’t possibly grasp the situation in the Essence Xing World well just from what…

Zhang Mingjie quickly shifted the topic back to the talismans, and Lin Jingya agreed with him.

Shang Xia might not be able to gain more information about the Essence Xing World from them, and after he learned that they didn’t need any special talismans, he simply gave them an introduction of the rank six talismans he could craft for them. With that, he also no longer had a chance to craft Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman from them…

When they heard how Shang Xia revealed 4 to 5 rank six talismans and their abilities, they sucked in a cold breath and suffered no small amount of shock.

It was like what Gong Zhuo and Shen Chongshan had experienced back then. Ordinary rank six Talisman Masters would be able to craft 1 or 2 types of rank six talismans at most.

Who the hell could be like Shang Xia who knew how to many so many different types of talismans?

They also knew that Shang Xia was still hiding the full extent of his abilities. At the very least, he also knew how to craft Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman which he wasn’t willing to make for them.

Shang Xia wasn’t stupid. He didn’t reveal the existence of the Variant Talisman that made up the Star Robes, and his Six Direction Teleportation Talisman. The Illusion Talisman he told them about was a rank six talisman, but it couldn’t allow one to disguise as a high-level True Immortal.

Shang Xia hadn’t completed the deduction of the Spirit Sealing Talisman he obtained from the remains of the talismans the True Immortal of the Essence Ming World stuck to his weapon, and that was clearly out of the question for the time being.

To realize the true extent of Shang Xia’s abilities, he could actually craft 9 different types of rank six talismans! Giving them a choice of 5 different rank six talismans was already very kind of him.

Eventually, Shang Xia agreed to craft 10 rank six talismans in half a year, with the Dachen Dynasty and the Qingling Palace getting 5 each.

With Shang Xia’s success rate in crafting rank six talismans, it wasn’t difficult for him to complete 10 of them in half a year. Moreover, it wouldn’t affect his cultivation. He would even have a bunch of time in case other matters cropped up.

In line with his expectations, they wanted True Space Restriction Palm Talismans, Ice Ruins Talismans, and Abyss Prison Emptiness Talismans. They were regular talismans with offensive and defensive capabilities. They weren’t interested in Illusion Talismans or Formation Talismans.

Finally sending them away, Shang Xia looked at the talisman paper and treasures they left behind. He realized that they didn’t give him too much Golden Crow Blood or Emperor Flow Liquid.

Calling Hai Yuanyuan over to sort out the treasures, he asked, “Did the institution send news about the collection of Golden Crow Blood and Emperor Flow Liquid?”

Hai Yuanyuan revealed a strange look on her face and stared at Shang Xia with a weird gaze.

Seeing her reaction, Shang Xia frowned. “What’s the matter?”

“They can’t be bothered with that at the moment… Almost all the high-level experts of the institution have been gathered by the deputy patriarchs. The patriarch went missing again, but he seemed to have left behind explicit instructions before he left this time!”

Shang Xia turned serious as he mumbled to himself, “Are they preparing for an expedition? Hmm… The feeling of being left out is a little annoying… I wonder which world is going to be the first sacrifice for the alliance of our Spirit Luxuriant World and the Spirit Thistle World…”

Scratching her head, Hai Yuanyuan mumbled, “Should I inform the deputy patriarchs to send whoever else we can to gather Golden Crow Blood and Emperor Flow Liquid?”

Shang Xia looked at her eager face and chuckled while shaking his head, “There’s no need for that. My clone can handle matters regarding it as long as he’s in the institution. Moreover…”

Shang Xia placed the sealed spiritual case that contained Golden Crow Blood and Emperor Flow Liquid down and smiled. “Look at that. Someone came all the way here to deliver these goodies to me!”
