Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1381: Pathfinding and Coincidence

Standing in the streams of chaotic space, Shang Xia revealed an overcast expression while looking at the Twin Star Pirates’ Spirit Ark.

They were injured and were a lot weaker as a result. If he wanted to kill them, that would be his best shot.

Shang Xia knew that there was a world fragment that contained 3 continents of the Spirit Dawn World in their Spirit Ark.

It wasn’t difficult for him to defeat them both, and it wasn’t impossible to kill them in the chaotic streams. However, if that were to happen, he might not be able to retain the world fragment.

A brilliant smile appeared on his face suddenly. “So that’s it! Looks like I came over at the wrong time and acted too rashly. This region is really dangerous and it’s no wonder you are so careful.”

Hearing how Shang Xia’s tone softened, the Twin Star Pirates felt a lot more reassured.

“True Immortal Shang, what are your intentions then? Where is the Wanyun Association’s fleet?”

“This is too much of a coincidence... To think that we actually ran into each other here...”

Shang Xia gave a simple description of what happened, casually skipping the part where he destroyed the attack of the Martial Emptiness Realm Sage. In the end, he chuckled bitterly, “I believe both of you know how difficult it will be for cultivators in the Martial Dipper Realm to survive in the chaotic sea of stars... They managed to run into me while drifting around the wreckage of their ship and we started to travel together...”

What the heck?!

The Twin Star Pirates stared at each other in shock. It was truly unbelievable for them to run into each other in the endless chaotic streams.

Even though Shang Xia didn’t lie about how they ran into each other, their initial thought was that Shang Xia was lying. However, there was no need for him to make up lies about the matter.

“The Wanyun Association is truly a bunch of snakes... We are truly in awe of your benevolence to save the members the Wanyun Association had abandoned.”

“As it turned out, you guys ran into an attack from a Martial Emptiness Realm Sage... However, with your cultivation, the Wanyun Association shouldn’t have been able to stop you. You could have left, leaving those who were abandoned to fend for themselves. Why did you need to exhaust yourself to help them?”

Shang Xia chuckled at their questions. “Let’s say I just felt like doing it. However, the Wanyun Association is from an Essence World and Zhang Shun is no weakling. Even if I wish to take revenge in the future, I will have to keep myself in check...”

“You are truly wise!”

“Well said!”

It didn’t matter if they were sincere or not. Both of them quickly praised Shang Xia.

“Since that’s the case, I hope you guys can guide us out of the chaotic streams... I will be grateful for the assistance.” Shang Xia took the chance to ask for the favor.

“True Immortal Shang, please instruct them to follow behind us.”

“Heh... Those fools of the Wanyun Association who ran into you really lucked out...”

Shang Xia smiled, but he didn’t leave his spot. Instead, he created a clone that returned to the Star Ship to relay the news.

The reason he remained was because he was afraid they would take the chance to run away before he could catch up, leaving them in the chaotic streams.

The moment he lost them, it would be impossible to find them again. He wouldn’t be so lucky every time, and he wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.

It didn’t take too long for the Star Ship to arrive with Shang Xia’s clone’s guidance. Jing Hui and the others could be seen in the mostly destroyed ship.

After seeing the Twin Star Pirates’ Spirit Ark, they couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Shang Xia didn’t have to say anymore. Jing Hui and the others quickly followed behind the Spirit Ark of the Twin Star Pirates as they started moving again. Shang Xia might have returned to their ship, but frequently looked for the Twin Star Pirates for dao discussions when he was bored and he learned a lot about the Chaotic Sea of Stars from them.

There was no day or night in the chaotic streams, and they were unable to determine the time. However, high-level experts were able to measure the time with the circulation of their inner qi.

Since he stopped the attack from the Martial Emptiness Realm Sage, Shang Xia didn’t know how long exactly had passed. However, after running into the Twin Star Pirates, it didn’t take long for him to learn that they weren’t actually far from leaving the streams of chaotic space.

He also learned that the Twin Star Pirates were known as Ying Lianxi and Ying Lianquan, with them being older and younger respectively.

“When you arrived, we actually completed more than half the journey!” Ying Lianxi was the person who spoke.

“Hehe... True Immortal Shang, if you were unlucky and failed to locate us brothers, you might not be able to traverse the rest of the journey and remain drifting around until god knows when...” Ying Lianquan was a lot more direct when speaking.

The Twin Star Pirates didn’t just lose their other Star Ship when they were attacked previously. They also lost the second tier True Immortal. The Twin Star Pirates suffered heavy injuries and they only escaped the pursuit after using some secret art.

After their experience, they lost too much and if not for the fact that they had the world fragment, they might never be able to rise again.

Another half a month later... The chaotic streams around them started to weaken. Everyone could feel that they had distanced themselves from the Essence Ling Heavenly Field and the Twin Star Pirates seemed a lot less worried than before.

It was then when Shang Xia decided to enter negotiations with them in order to obtain a piece of the world fragment.

“True Immortals, have you thought about it? What is the best way for me to obtain those fragments?”

Shang Xia would be lying to himself if he said that he didn’t have plans to deal with the members of the Twin Star Pirates in order to get his hands on the world fragment.

However, the Twin Star Pirates were hardened veterans who had been through many battles. How could they show weakness so easily?

From the first time they ran into Shang Xia, they never stepped out of their Spirit Ark.

Shang Xia saw that he wasn’t able to take advantage of them, but he still wanted the world fragment. He had no choice but to finish the deal before they completed their journey.

However... They threw out a bomb of a question that stumped Shang Xia.

“True Immortal Shang, it’s not impossible to make a deal. However, how are you going to bring the world fragment back?” Ying Lianxi asked softly.

Ying Lianquan quickly added, and he didn’t hide the mockery in his voice. “True Immortal Shang, you say that you’re from the Essence Ping World, but everyone knows that’s a lie. It’s nothing new for an expert of the Heaven Observation Field to emerge from time to time, but who would have thought that you’re someone famous in the Essence Xing World? After many of them heard about you, your identity as someone from the Spirit Luxuriant World has already been revealed. The reason Zhang Shun dared to betray you and send you over as bait for the Martial Emptiness Realm Sage is probably because he already learned of your background and is no longer afraid that you are backed by an Essence World...”
