As Jiang Chen and they were continuously improving, many auspicious clouds appeared all over the world, signaling breakthroughs.

The auspicious clouds over the Flame Dragon Kingdom and the Holy Court accounted for half of the world's total!

The experts on Yichen Island and the island where the Elixir Refining Academy is located would go to the Flame Dragon Territory to make their breakthroughs and return as soon as they were done.

On the surface, the Martial Dao World was thriving, but in reality, there was an undercurrent surging beneath.

Then one day, a piece of news caused leaders and forces of various countries to change their expressions.

Aoli Country had fallen!

Overnight, the native forces of Aoli Country were slaughtered, and the people of Aoli Country were confined to its island, as fifteen major sects waved the banner of Ancient Martial Sect, calling for the allegiance of the world's major forces!

At this moment, the whole world was shocked and began summoning their own national forces.

Right then, the world found out in a communique that the spatial rifts around the world had increased to more than fifty, more than doubling from half a year ago!

All forces were astonished, and only then did they realize they had fallen into the scheming of sects from the Ancient Martial Era.

A very simple and crude stratagem of sowing discord, yet the major world forces fell into the plot due to their inherent selfishness!

When these fifteen sects revealed their wild nature, Aoli Country had already fallen under their control!

Meanwhile, Divine Soul attacks appeared from rifts all over the world, some defended successfully, while others saw the practitioners who utilized the surging spiritual energy slaughtered to extinction.

The forces occupying the rifts suffered heavy losses and recalled Jiang Chen's warnings.

But it was too late to regret!

The forces combined their statistics and found that fifteen rifts launched surprise attacks, and nearly ten Divine Souls that had charged into Yuan Star had gone to Aoli Country!

The world was shocked once more!

This was evidently a premeditated Divine Soul descent!

Subsequently, leaders from around the world urgently called the leaders of the Flame Dragon Kingdom, requesting help from Jiang Chen's alliance, but the Flame Dragon leader retorted with a sentence: "Did you listen when Mr. Jiang spoke back then? Now, if you want help, go and talk to Mr. Jiang yourself!"

Thus, Dingjing witnessed an embarrassing situation for the world's major powers.

Outside Dingyun Lake Manor.

All major forces worldwide sent representatives, but they were blocked outside the manor by its guards, with the simple reply 'The Young Master is not here,' leaving everyone helpless.

The representatives of the major forces could only wait near Dingyun Lake, not daring to rest; if Jiang Chen came while they were away and said they were insincere, they would be torn apart by their own people and the citizens of their countries!

After emerging from the rift, those Divine Souls ignored whether one was a commoner or a Martial Artist, slaughtering all the way from the rift to Aoli Country. The death toll along the way was incalculable, and everyone was terrified!

One fear was of death; the other was the fear of becoming a slave like the people of Aoli Country!

At this time, Jiang Chen was actually at Dingyun Lake Manor, but not inside the manor, rather in the water beneath the manor.

Thirty meters below the lake's surface.

Jiang Chen stood in front of the rock face with closed eyes, exuding a subtle Soul Force. Beside him were the eldest and second Elder of the Wei Family, and Yan Hu and Wu Qianxun.

The Spirit You was left at the Elixir Medicine Academy, mainly responsible for maintaining contact with Jiang Chen. The academy was situated not far from where Xuan Long discovered the Spiritual Wine.

The Elixir Medicine Academy wasn't just for refining elixirs; it also guarded the spatial rift there.

As for Ying Zi, she was accompanying Ye Jingyi and others on Yichen Island, with Elder Ming and others guarding the spatial rift by the island's pond.

Over the past year of cultivation, Jiang Chen had reached the pinnacle of the early Saint Realm and could advance to the mid-Saint Realm at any time.

Under Jiang Chen's rapid progress, Yan Hu also broke through to the Saint Realm, reaching the mid-level directly, thanks largely to Jiang Chen's tireless assistance.

Jiang Chen's old comrades all received special care from him; Wu Qianxun had already reached the late Saint Realm, and the Saint Realm experts on Jiang Chen's side secretly increased to a terrifying number.

At this moment, Jiang Chen once again extended his Soul Force to probe the situation inside the rift.

The once pitch-black space inside the rift had turned gray, causing Jiang Chen's heart to skip a beat.

What worried Jiang Chen even more was that the ribbon of light had turned into a solid piece of land, ten meters wide, with silver light shields appearing on both sides, covering the left and right, leaving only the top unclosed!

Jiang Chen controlled his Soul Force to charge forward along the road rapidly, as turbulent space currents and spatial hurricanes weakened his Soul Force through the space above the passage.

When the Soul Force reached the point where it was obliterated last time, two-thirds remained, which didn't relax Jiang Chen but instead made him even more worried.

The spatial currents and hurricanes couldn't even destroy a single Soul Force, even though his Soul Force was stronger than Dragon Saint's, yet it couldn't compare to a Second Soul?

If the opponent dispatched a Divine Soul to descend, wouldn't it...

Buzz!

As Jiang Chen thought of this, a subtle Divine Soul fluctuation appeared ahead where his Soul Force was located.

Jiang Chen's Soul Force trembled twice and retreated hastily!

Buzz!

A wave of Divine Soul fluctuation surfaced, and Jiang Chen's Soul Force returned to his body.

Yan Hu and the others all looked at Jiang Chen.

With a serious expression, Jiang Chen transmitted a message: "Chase away those guys above, Hu Zi and Elder Wu, evacuate the people inside the manor, join the other three Wei Elders to seal this space, keep Li Yuan behaved; Elder Wei and Second Elder, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Yan Hu and the others' faces changed instantly.

Slosh! Slosh!

Two splashes were heard as Yan Hu and Wu Qianxun shot out from the water surface.

"You all leave here immediately!"

Yan Hu turned and shouted at the representatives of all major forces around Dingyun Lake.

The representatives were stunned, displaying expressions of dissatisfaction, but Wu Qianxun's next words made their faces change dramatically.

"Everyone, leave the manor, the Wei Family's three elders will seal the entire Dingyun Lake space; Senior Qi Shaxing, please guard the manor to prevent the battle from damaging it, quickly! Quickly! Quickly!"

Wu Qianxun's shout resounded across the whole Dingyun Lake sky.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Hundreds of powerful auras flew out from the manor, forming a circle around Dingyun Lake.

The representatives of various forces retreated out of the Dingyun Lake area, their eyes filled with surprise as they looked towards the direction of Dingyun Lake Manor.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three figures floated in the air, with the three elders left in the manor by the Wei Family exuding powerful auras, mobilizing the spiritual energy of the entire Dingyun Lake area to seal this space.
