Chapter 368: Life Under Threat

With the final 6 pieces he had, he miraculously created four Spiritual Yin Knife Talismans.

With 18 pieces of rank three talisman paper, Shang Xia actually managed to create 9 rank three talismans. The success rate could be said to be pretty underwhelming when compared to other accomplished rank three talisman masters, but it was somewhat amazing for Shang Xia who had barely become one.

After ending his seclusion, he learned from Yan Qi that he used close to 4 months to craft talismans.

By the time he emerged from his courtyard, autumn had already arrived.

“How did so much time pass already?” Shang Xia turned to ask Yan Qi. “Did the institution send any news? Did the first batch of experts already enter the battlefield between the two worlds?”

Before Shang Xia entered seclusion, he told Yan Qi to inform him the moment the institution decided to open the spatial tunnel connecting the Tongyou Institution to the battlefield between the two worlds. He didn’t think that Yan Qi would forget the order.

Shaking his head, Yan Qi muttered, “The Tongyou Institution definitely released the news of the reopening of the spatial tunnel. However, the institution fell silent half a year ago. It seemed as though any plans of reentering the battlefield between the two worlds had fallen through!”

“This… This shouldn’t happen…” Shang Xia frowned.

Yan Qi seemed to have thought of something and he quickly handed a piece of document over to Shang Xia. “Oh right, Young Master, even though you haven’t been to the institution for close to a year now, the institution still promoted you to an Inner Division disciple.”

Staring at him in shock, Shang Xia eventually retrieved the document Yan Qi handed over. He chuckled silently in his heart before keeping the document carefully.

He took out one of each rank three talisman in his collection and handed it over to Yan Qi. “Oh right, help me to hand this over to the clan. It can be considered my contributions to the clan after the resources they gave me to support my advancement to become a rank three talisman master.”

Before Yan Qi could rush to the treasury to hand the talismans over, Shang Xia stopped him again. He took out another Spiritual Yin Knife Talisman after some consideration. “Please give this to my Second Uncle too. I would like to thank him for supplying me with those rank three talisman papers.”

After Yan Qi left, Shang Xia headed over to look for his Fifth Grandpa, Shang Ke.

Shang Ke wasn’t surprised when he saw Shang Xia. In fact, he was the first to speak. “Hehe, damn brat, you’re definitely here to ask about the reopening of the battlefield between the two worlds, right?”

Shang Xia nodded in response. “I can’t hide anything from you. So, is there news about the matter? Did Grandpa Bo say anything about it?”

Shang Ke snickered softly. “Everything I know came from your Grandpa Bo. He seems to be a little reluctant to tell me the full details, but it seems as though it has something to do with the institution’s lack of preparations.”

“Lack of preparations?” Shang Xia frowned. He muttered softly, “The institution should have started their preparations since the war for the Tongyou Mysterious World ended. There’s no way they’re so sloppy in their preparations that they aren’t ready yet. There are only several reasons that can cause the delay. Either something happened on the side of the Azure Spiritual World, or the issue lies with the upper echelons of our Azure Origin World! The Changbai Holy Land might have sent reinforcements to the battlefield between the two worlds, preventing us from hastily reopening the spatial tunnel…”

A light flashed in Shang Xia’s eyes. “Or… Could it be that Patriarch Kou hasn’t fully recovered? Are there other reasons affecting…”

Staring at Shang Xia in shock, Shang Ke snapped, “All we know right now is that Kou Chongxue wasn’t fully recovered when he went to the Ji Continent before.”

A chill ran down Shang Xia’s heart. “Did his injuries get worse after he took action against the White Deer Paradise the other time? Did he overexert himself?!”

A bitter smile appeared on Shang Ke’s face and he sighed, “That’s not something your Grandpa Bo will say. Not even to me.”

Nodding slowly, Shang Xia seemed to have fallen into deep contemplation. However, he didn’t say anything more.

…

In the core region of the Tongyou Mysterious World where the Zhu Family Manor once stood.

Shang Bo and Yun Jing were looking at Kou Chongxue who had just emerged from seclusion.

Releasing a long breath, a white mist appeared and everything within a hundred feet of the patriarch seemed to freeze over.

“Did you recover fully?!” Yun Jing stared at him with wide eyes and asked.

With a somber expression, Kou Chongxue remained silent. None of them knew what he was thinking about.

Seeing as he didn’t reply to her, ?a trace of worry appeared on Yun Jing’s face. “Did it not work?! Hmph! You’re really something else alright… You believed that kid because of some random nonsense he spewed. Are you tired of living?! How can you bet your life so casually?!”

Kou Chongxue’s gaze started to focus and a hoarse voice left his lips. “Hehe, aren’t you afraid of offending your Third Brother Shang by insulting his grandson?”

Shang Bo chuckled at the side and he didn’t seem to take her words to heart. After all, he was a little more aware of what had happened.

Smiling at Shang Bo, Yun Jing seemed to express her apologies before turning back to Kou Chongxue. “So what is your situation right now?”

“I managed to rebalance my fate dippers. Hehe, looks like the kid wasn’t sprouting bullshit when he came up with this idea.” Kou Chongxue muttered.

Yun Jing wasn’t the only one who was shocked at the revelation. Even Shang Bo widened his eyes in shock. Even though he expected as much after looking at how much better Kou Chongxue looked, it was another thing to hear it from the man himself.

All of them knew that once Kou Chongxue solved the problem of his fate dippers’ imbalance, he would be able to restore a huge portion of his fighting strength. Moreover, they thought that he would only be able to do something like that if he grasped some sort of special technique. From what Kou Chongxue was saying, it seemed as though Shang Xia’s pointers were all he used to solve the problem!

Was the kid’s idea really so impressive?!

Even up till that point, none of them believed that Kou Chongxue’s recovery had something to do with Shang Xia.

One had to know that even though Yun Jing and Shang Bo hadn’t stepped into the Martial Dipper Realm, they had been to the Beyond Heavens Pavilion. They heard other Martial Dipper Realm experts discussing the dao and they knew that there was one deadly mistake one could never make in the Martial Dipper Realm. That was to lose control of their fate dippers and allow there to be an imbalance. Once that happened, it was said that there was no way back. Only death awaited an expert whose fate dippers reached a state of disequilibrium.

That was the greatest cause of death for experts at the Martial Dipper Realm! It caused more deaths than battles among experts at that level!

Kou Chongxue was probably the first to overturn his fate! Not only did he not die, he even managed to regain his strength and deal a great deal of damage to the White Deer Paradise!

If the news were to leak…

No! The news of his recovery had already spread across the lands!

Now, the Azure Origin World wasn’t the only problem. Even the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Azure Spiritual World would have heard of Kou Chongxue’s recovery! All of them would know that Kou Chongxue had a way to solve the greatest problem that plagued them!

The more they thought about it, the heavier their hearts became. Shang Bo and Yun Jing stared at each other in fright.

God damn! Luckily, Kou Chongxue was the one who received the kid’s pointers and recovered! If he was anyone else, those treacherous bastards might have already launched a great war to pry the secret from whoever managed to solve the problem of their fate dippers’ disequilibrium. Kou Chongxue’s reputation truly saved them this time.

Realizing the implications of the matter, Yun Jing and Shang Bo knew that everyone who knew how Kou Chongxue recovered would have to keep the matter a secret. As long as anyone leaked the news, their lives would most likely be forfeit!

No! They forgot a scarier fact! They wouldn’t be the first to die! Shang Xia’s life would be in even more danger than they could imagine!
