"What two choices?" Flame Dragon asked, puzzled.

One choice is a nuclear attack, which Jiang Chen has already clarified, but how has another choice suddenly appeared?

"The first choice: station a Saint Realm Peak expert at each rift, constantly using Soul Force to inspect the passage within the rift. A team of Saint Realm experts will be stationed a hundred miles around the area, and the countries near the rift will aim missiles at it, keeping them ready to launch at any moment."

"If someone comes through the rift, the stationed expert sends a signal to immediately retreat, and the surrounding countries launch missiles, at least fifty of them, directly inflicting a destructive strike on that rift! Whether the rift can be destroyed or not, first clean up those descending divine souls. If any divine souls survive, the stationed Saint Realm Peak expert along with the Saint Realm team will execute a hunt!"

Jiang Chen outlined calmly.

"This is feasible. Launching during the divine soul's descent avoids the risk of nukes failing to destroy the rift and being wasted, much better than firing blindly!" Stygian Dragon agreed.

Flame Dragon nodded in agreement, "We don't have enough Saint Realm experts to block all the rifts right now, so this reduces the number needed. However..."

"Haven't we already gathered the herbs? We can already produce three-digit numbers of Saint Realm experts on our side. Once the matter in Aoli Country is resolved, I'll retreat to refine elixirs and strive to exceed the number of rifts with our Saint Realm Peak experts!" Jiang Chen said solemnly.

"Mr Jiang, we're counting on you!" Flame Dragon said, gratitude in his eyes.

The Pope and others gazed at Jiang Chen with full admiration.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, gently waved his hand, "The second choice, a method Elder You once told me, laid out by my ancestor Jiang Wuqing. It's a formation that can seal off the entire Life Origin Star!"

"Seal off the entire Life Origin Star? You mean it can sever its connection with the Void Nether Realm?!" Flame Dragon's eyes shone as he looked at Jiang Chen.

The crowd got excited.

"Yes!"

Jiang Chen nodded lightly, "I haven't visited the place my ancestor mentioned yet. This year, I've been waiting, waiting for the spiritual energy of the whole world to stabilize."

"After all, right now, the revival of spiritual energy brings more benefit than harm to the populace. I'm worried sealing off the Life Origin Star will directly halt the external spiritual energy's eruption, which would cause Life Origin Star to gradually revert to the Era of Martial Decline."

"I asked Li Yuan, unless the Heavenly Dao forms, a world cannot spontaneously generate spiritual energy!"

Flame Dragon and the others hesitated.

Now the revival of spiritual energy has not only changed the cultivation environment but also transformed the entire Yuan Star's environment, where issues like air pollution have disappeared, significantly improving the populace's physical condition. Should we abandon such an environment and return to the Era of Martial Decline—this truly is a thought-provoking question!

"Mr Jiang, no matter what, first go and see what kind of situation is there. Perhaps the formation is not so easy to activate? If we prepare the formation your ancestor Jiang Wuqing mentioned, it can also be our fallback!" Flame Dragon said softly.

"Alright!" Jiang Chen nodded, "I'll go take a look there, you arrange everything..."

Sorting out the details, Jiang Chen departed with You Xuan, while Flame Dragon and others started making calls to contact allied forces, also having Flame Dragon coordinate globally with major powers to prepare missile targeting plans!

...

Atop Chi Xiao Peak, in front of the ancestral hall.

Chi Xiao Patriarch, Lin Jiuxiao, Fan Kedi, and Mo Tianze sat around a stone table.

"Sect Master, any thoughts after coming out this time?" Fan Kedi chuckled, looking at Lin Jiuxiao.

Lin Jiuxiao smiled slightly, eyes full of reminiscence, "The biggest realization is seeing that the once small youth has now grown to this point! Not only has his strength improved rapidly, but we've also been carried along swiftly like rocketing up. The sect now has more than ten Saint Realm experts, right?"

"Indeed! With Jiuxiao's breakthrough this time, Chixiao Sect now boasts ten Saint Realm experts!" Chi Xiao Patriarch said with emotion, "Truly fortunate to have saved Mr Jiang back then!"

"Haha! Yes, we must thank Chi Xiao Patriarch for blocking that old rogue from Youming Hall back then!"

A hearty laugh echoed, as two figures descended from high above.

"Mr Jiang, Elder You Xuan!"

Chi Xiao Patriarch and others rose to greet them.

"You rascal, what brings you to visit us old folks?" Mo Tianze quipped with a smile.

Jiang Chen grinned, "Master, I barely have leisure time to visit you all. I'm here on official business!"

"Hey, brat, can't you show some courtesy?" Mo Tianze feigned anger.

Jiang Chen laughed heartily, "Don't let's pretend to be courteous, alright?"

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha..."

Lin Jiuxiao and others paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Mr Jiang is just as straightforward." Chi Xiao Patriarch praised Jiang Chen with a glance, then his expression solemn, "Mr Jiang, tell us, what do you need us to do?"

Lin Jiuxiao and others quickly turned serious, looking at Jiang Chen earnestly.

While they said it casually, Mo Tianze and others knew, given the recent affairs in Aoli Country, Jiang Chen wouldn't be visiting them simply for leisure, it would certainly be for formal matters, most likely to enlist their participation!

"There's no need to be so grave. I'm here to examine something my ancestor Jiang Wuqing left for me in a secret grotto." Jiang Chen said with a light laugh.

"Oh? There's still something inside?" Lin Jiuxiao asked in surprise.

Jiang Chen nodded lightly, "I only learned about it not long ago and haven't decided whether to use it. This time, I came to have a look first."

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiao Patriarch and others were momentarily taken aback.

They were well aware of Jiang Chen's current standing, someone whose words could sway half the world, even he shows some hesitation—now then...

"When you all came out, the cave collapsed. I only dug up the front stone chamber for retreat. The item you're looking for..."

Chi Xiao Patriarch glanced hesitantly at the cave beside the ancestral hall.

"Patriarch, I shall go in and take a look!" Jiang Chen said softly.

"Alright!" Chi Xiao Patriarch nodded.

Jiang Chen smiled at the group, leaping into the cave directly.

"Apologies to everyone!"

You Xuan nodded politely to Chi Xiao Patriarch and the others, then leapt to the cave entrance, sitting with their back to it, guarding the entrance.

Chi Xiao Patriarch and the four others were momentarily stunned, feeling a shiver in their hearts.

What could possibly be so significant that Jiang Chen and You Xuan treat it so seriously, necessitating a Saint Realm Peak expert like You Xuan to personally guard the entrance?
