Splitting the Heavens-Chapter 1730: Spirit Lyric World’s Inheritance and The Dilemma

Outside the mini Spirit Lyric World, Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar, who was surprisingly not in meditation to replenish his inner qi, sat leisurely on the deck of the Star Ship. He casually read the contents recorded in the jade slip he was holding.

Core members of the Tongyou Institution, like their True Immortals, along with Chu Jia, Xin Lu, Hai Yuanyuan, and the others, entered the secret region that was known as the mini Spirit Lyric World by Gu Mingzheng. They were tasked with organizing various legacies from the Spirit Lyric World that existed centuries ago.

The remaining 20 or so elite members of the institution continued to scour the Spirit Lyric World ruins, excavating treasures of value that still remained.

Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar had previously stated that anything they discovered would belong to them. What they could find depended on their luck.

Although most understood that after so many forces had explored the ruins, the likelihood of finding valuable resources in the ruins was low, Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar’s initiative was still met with enthusiastic responses.

As for the handover and inventory of things within the mini Spirit Lyric World... With the guidance of Gu Mingzhen, the only remaining high-level True Immortal, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Even though the remnants of the Spirit Lyric World's forces harbored some reservations, with Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar, a Sage, personally overseeing the entrance of the secret region, no one dared to act rashly.

Although the secret region was merely a remnant of the collapsed Spirit Lyric World, taking over and controlling it was clearly not something that could be accomplished in a short time. Especially when they only had Song Zhen and a few other capable people.

Fortunately, after the previous battle, Jiu Yin had been wiped out of existence. Yan Yu’s energy was greatly depleted, and he even paid the price of his direct descendant’s cultivation future. As for Guan Ziqing... He fucked up even more badly as his attempt to swoop in at the end to reap all the benefits backfired. He was severely weakened and there was absolutely no chance of him trying anything else. Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar didn’t worry that either of them would come back to confront him.

The content of the jade slip in Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar’s hand recorded the main lineage of the sect to which Jiu Yin belonged.

Jiu Yin had originated from the Qunyin Gate of the Spirit Lyric World, a major Elysium-level power. The mini Spirit Lyric World had integrated a part of the original Qunyin Gate’s Elysium, preserving the martial legacy of the Qunyin Gate.

Certainly, with Jiu Yin, one of the most distinguished warriors of the Qunyin Gate, the sect’s legacy was unlikely to fade.

However, Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar was currently focused on Qunyin Gate’s records about the Martial Emptiness Realm. Most of those records, aside from a very small part obtained sporadically from the sea of stars by previous ancestors of the Qunyin Gate, were authored by Jiu Yin himself.

It included Jiu Yin's advancement to the Martial Emptiness Realm, his advancement medicine, and even the secret art and martial arts he created during his years of struggle in the mini Spirit Lyric World.

Especially notable was Jiu Yin’s unique rank seven martial art, the Nine Sounds of the Void, which Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar had personally experienced in Jiu Yin’s final stand. Facing the powerful technique, he was completely suppressed.

If not for Jiu Yin’s limited ability to wield the strength of a Sage and Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar’s ability to draw on the power of his true body through the 7 suns, the outcome of that battle might not have favored Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar.

As he read its contents, he focused on understanding and absorbing the rank seven arts created by Jiu Yin, hoping to gain insights that would allow his true body to quickly develop and refine his self-created rank seven arts upon his return to the Spirit Luxuriant World.

As Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar delved into the extensive legacy of the Qunyin Gate, Hai Yuanyuan suddenly emerged from the spatial tunnel and approached him.

"Do you know how many experts remains hidden within this secret region?" Hai Yuanyuan asked excitedly upon seeing Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar.

Without looking up from the jade slip, Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar replied, "I don’t know how many True Immortals are left, but I know you wouldn’t come out here just to laze around. Even a cursory sorting of the Spirit Lyric World’s legacy shouldn’t be done so quickly."

Caught in her thoughts by his insight, Hai Yuanyuan didn’t show any embarrassment. Instead, she briskly stepped up behind Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar and began massaging his shoulders. "Come on... Don’t you know? Other than Jiu Yin, there were 2 high-level True Immortals. There were also 5 other True Immortals.”

Seeing Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar's unfazed expression, as if he didn’t care about what she was saying, she finally became a little serious and continued to report, "There was an internal conflict earlier over whether to submit and pledge loyalty to us. Chang Di, a fourth tier True Immortal, was killed by Gu Mingzheng. A third tier and second tier True Immortals were also slain. A second tier True Immortal was also slightly injured. A first tier True Immortal who seemed to have just advanced was taken down, but he also agreed to surrender.”

Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar’s attention remained on the jade slip, and he asked casually, "Are all those killed Jiu Yin’s disciple from the Qunyin Gate?"

Hai Yuanyuan paused in shock. Only after some time did she speak again. "The slain second tier True Immortal was from Gu Mingzheng’s side. Of the 7 True Immortals, there were 3 from the Qunyin Gate. They were the dead Chang Di and the third tier True Immortal Tu Fou, and he first tier True Immortal who was taken down, Bian Konghou. The other 4 come from other factions. In the past, when Jiu Yin entered deep slumber again, Chang Di and others, considering themselves the legitimate heirs of the Qunyin Gate, naturally took the position of the overseers, and according to Gu Mingzheng and others, they acted quite domineering.”

Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar chuckled dryly, his laughter devoid of any emotion.

Hai Yuanyuan continued, "After Jiu Yin’s death, the survivors hiding in the mini Spirit Lyric World knew immediately. A split erupted over the future of the mini Spirit Lyric World. It is said that Jiu Yin had left a will before departing, stating that the moment he dies, the survivors within the secret region could decide their own fate, focusing on preserving their lives and the Spirit Lyric World’s legacy rather than seeking revenge. However, Chang Di and others from the Qunyin Gate refused to submit and wanted to consolidate power within the mini Spirit Lyric World to suppress dissent before confronting their enemies, forcing Gu Mingzhen and others to act preemptively according to Jiu Yin’s will."

After putting away the jade slip, Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar stood up and walked to the side of the ship. He stared at the void that contained the mini Spirit Lyric World and muttered, “Take whatever you heard with a pinch of salt... What I’m concerned about is whether the core of the secret region has been damaged...”

Hai Yuanyuan quickly replied, "Gu Mingzheng and others acted decisively, probably because those killed like Chang Di never expected them to strike so suddenly, leading to a quick resolution of the internal conflict. Their core wasn’t severely damaged, but there were naturally some losses. Its natural depletion was also why Jiu Yin eventually reached out to Guan Ziqing of the Spirit Tip Worl,d which ended with them agreeing to act together.”

Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar nodded. "That’s pretty close to what I thought happened.”

All of a sudden, Hai Yuanyuan chuckled softly, stepping closer to Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar and said, "Oh yeah, Teacher, you might not be able to guess what we found inside.”

Seeing the look on his face where there was a smile that didn’t seem like a smile, Hai Yuanyuan quickly laughed and revealed, “We found a large-scale Star Ship! It’s a Star Ship that they were remodeling into a Spirit Ark!”
