"You know about the secret land?"

Huo Chong paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "That's right, you possess the True Dragon Martial Soul; you must have a connection with the Dragon Clan."

After composing himself, Huo Chong continued, "Yes, it's the few secret lands left by Lord Ancestral Dragon. The news spread from the people of Fulong Mountain is that as long as those secret lands are controlled, the spiritual energy revival of the Life Origin Star can be controlled, and some spiritual treasures left by Lord Ancestral Dragon can be obtained. These spiritual treasures are for suppressing the space rift, and we can't let you get them!"

Jiang Chen gently nodded, which aligned with the information he obtained in the secret land of the Chixiao Sect, confirming that Huo Chong was not lying.

"How many rifts have appeared in the Void Nether Realm now?" Jiang Chen asked again.

Huo Chong shook his head lightly, "I don't know. The Void Nether Realm is vast. Just a single Fire Divine Region is thousands of times larger than the entire Life Origin Star. No one can know exactly how many space rifts there are. However, ever since the Dragon Island appeared, the Dragon Clan has been committed to repairing those space rifts."

"Then how many space rifts are being controlled by people on your side now?"

A complex look flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. The Dragon Clan should be the strong backing that the Dragon Saint talked about, but now they're too busy to care about this side. They can only rely on themselves!

"I know there are over seventy rifts, but when we arrived, the Dragon Clan had repaired more than ten of them," Huo Chong said in a deep voice.

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned and exclaimed, "The Dragon Clan repairs them so quickly?"

"Not all forces in the Void Nether Realm want to return, nor is it the case for the Origin Continent. Those forces that don't want to return will voluntarily contact the Dragon Clan after discovering a space rift, exchanging the information for spiritual treasures from the Dragon Clan."

Huo Chong explained softly, "If they hadn't remained neutral and stayed unallied with the Dragon Clan, we in the Twelve Great Domains wouldn't have been able to explore the space rifts so peacefully."

Jiang Chen nodded. From Li Yuan, he already understood that although there are Heavenly Tribulations on the Void Nether Realm, if a cultivator passes through a tribulation, they can also receive benefits similar to Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body.

After all, the Heavenly Dao over there is complete, while the Heavenly Dao of the Life Origin Star is still in a cohesive phase, unable to use Heavenly Dao Tribulation to temper themselves!

Moreover, many cultivators aren't willing to destroy the Life Origin Star, the ancestral star, but they also don't want to get involved in stopping them from meddling in Twelve Great Domains, which resulted in this situation.

Of course, it can't be ruled out that those forces have the intention of letting the Twelve Great Domains and Life Origin Star forces compete against each other, while they act as beneficiaries behind the scenes.

"As far as I know, Fulong Mountain should be one of the Six Peak Powers of the Origin Continent, right? And your Fire Hidden Sect is just one of the Top Ten Forces. Don't they have their own controlled space rifts?" Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something and looked at Huo Chong, slightly puzzled.

"They do, but when Dragon Island appeared and Lord Ancestral Dragon emerged, he directly broke into Fulong Mountain, destroying the space rifts controlled by Fulong Mountain, which caused a region of spatial turbulence to appear in the back mountain of Fulong Mountain, and no one dares to enter!" Huo Chong responded softly.

"Lord Ancestral Dragon appeared?" Jiang Chen was startled and asked, "Why didn't he come back then?"

Huo Chong sneered, "Come back? If he returned, the Void Nether Realm and the Life Origin Star would've been completely connected! After destroying the space rift of Fulong Mountain, Lord Ancestral Dragon went directly into the outer skies to suppress a massive space rift, only allowing spiritual energy to be channeled through, preventing cultivators from passing. That rift is enough to completely connect the two realms!"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, recalling the vast rifts that appeared in the sky when he broke through. Those rifts appeared only briefly before vanishing, leaving just continuous spiritual energy eruptions.

Could it be... the massive rift in the outer skies that Huo Chong mentioned directly connected to the entire sky of the Life Origin Star?!

What a massive space rift that must be!

"I didn't expect that Lord Ancestral Dragon, leading the Dragon Clan in the Void Nether Realm, would still be working for the stability of the Life Origin Star!" Jiang Chen murmured softly.

Huo Chong glanced at Jiang Chen with a look of sarcasm, "Kid, cultivators act for themselves, not for others! Who knows why the Dragon Clan is doing this. If you think the Dragon Clan is good just because of this, then you are really too naive."

"I don't care what their intentions are; I only know that the Dragon Clan is working hard for the stability of our Life Origin Star, and that's enough!"

Jiang Chen glanced indifferently at Huo Chong, "How many of your Void Nether Realm people are there in Aoli Country?"

"I'm not sure; I was only ordered to come and help them," Huo Chong responded candidly.

Jiang Chen gave Huo Chong a deep look with his Divine Soul, then slowly closed his eyes.

Huo Chong glanced at Jiang Chen's Divine Soul, knowing that Jiang Chen's consciousness had departed, a sly look appearing in his eyes.

Jiang Chen, let's see how you die. Even without us, just relying on Ling Qiuyan and their group, activating the formation would be more than enough!

...

In the high sky above the coastline of Aoli Country.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes and glanced upward.

At the very high part of the sky, strands of pure spiritual energy were slowly erupting. From where Jiang Chen and the others were positioned, they could vaguely sense the flow of the spiritual energy current.

"Mr Jiang, how is it?"

Seeing Jiang Chen open his eyes, the Dragon Saint inquired softly.

Jiang Chen recounted what Huo Chong had said.

"It's the only good news we've heard!" the Pope said with a hint of amusement amidst the hardship.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, "For now, it truly counts as good news, at least knowing we're not fighting alone!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Dragon Saint opened his mouth, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing in the end.

'Dragon Saint Senior, the strong support you mentioned before, is it the Dragon Clan?'

Jiang Chen quietly transmitted his voice to the Dragon Saint.

The Dragon Saint looked at Jiang Chen and nodded gently.

'Don't lose heart; it's better if the Dragon Clan doesn't come. If they did, it would mean the two realms have completely connected!'

Jiang Chen transmitted to console.

A hint of regret flashed in the Dragon Saint's eyes as he gently nodded.

"Lord Xue, there's a signal below!"

Keeping a watch on the dock below, You Xuan spoke softly.

Jiang Chen looked down to see a beam of light at the dock below, shooting straight into the sky.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Chen called out, and a dozen figures quickly flew down towards the dock below.

Along the coastline docks, several military jeeps were parked on the dock. Shen Xiangtian held a flashlight, shining it up to the sky, beside him were the tense-faced Leader Ma Qie'er and General Si Jia.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A dozen figures flickered, then swiftly descended, soon landing next to Yan Hu and the others.
