Dragon Saint and the others looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment, never having heard Jiang Chen mention that there was a secret realm and spiritual treasures on Yuan Star.

Ling Zhiping glanced at Jiang Chen and said softly, "We don't have that intention, we just want to exchange for the Bi Xiao Sword and then leave."

"I can give you the Bi Xiao Sword, but I have three conditions." Jiang Chen looked seriously at Ling Zhiping.

Ling Zhiping's expression became solemn, and he looked directly into Jiang Chen's eyes: "Go ahead."

"First, you need to tell me about all the space rifts you know of."

"Second, after you return, I hope you can prevent the people of Fulong Mountain from descending again."

"Third, help me spread the news. Spread the events of those previous descenders attempting to rule the world and slaughter innocent civilians, then tell everyone that for anyone who continues to descend, we will treat them as invaders, and show no mercy!"

Jiang Chen solemnly stated the three conditions.

Ling Zhiping hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily: "I can agree to that, but I want to clarify something: spreading the news is fine, but it's useless; the forces of the archipelago won't relent!"

"They don't need to relent, I'm merely stating my stance. We Yuan Star Martial Artists will never compromise!" Jiang Chen spoke in a deep voice.

Dragon Saint and the others all nodded in agreement.

Li Jianfeng looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression, opened his mouth but said nothing, silently sighed and cursed those descenders who slaughtered civilians and attempted to rule Yuan Star. If it weren't for them, perhaps the cultivators of the Void Nether could have had the chance to return home for a visit.

And now, even if the channels were completely stabilized, those wishing to come back and reminisce about their home would be unable to return.

This couldn't be blamed on Jiang Chen; with lessons learned from the past, Jiang Chen could not gamble with the lives of the people and the safety of Yuan Star on the purpose of the descenders' arrival!

"Alright!"

Ling Zhiping nodded heavily: "In that case, I'll first tell you about the channel we arrived through. It was a channel we discovered by accident, and it's already completely stabilized. However, we only know of that one channel, as my position in the Sect is quite awkward."

Jiang Chen and the others tightened their expressions, staring intently at Ling Zhiping.

"The channel we came through is at..."

Upon hearing the location reported by Ling Zhiping, Jiang Chen and the others broke out in a cold sweat!

"How could it be..." Extreme shock appeared in Dragon Saint's eyes.

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed, and he looked at Dragon Saint with some anger: "Dragon Saint Senior, did your Flame Dragon Group not notice anything at all?"

"No, not at all. When the spiritual energy revived initially, there was no such place during the eruptions of spiritual energy in various places!" Dragon Saint shook his head with a face full of lingering fear.

"That's normal, a completely stabilized channel wouldn't be affected by the Power of Space!" Ling Zhiping said softly.

Jiang Chen let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "Dragon Saint Senior, immediately have people block off that area. Once things here are settled, we'll go there first to have a look!"

"Alright!"

Dragon Saint nodded heavily, took out his phone, and started dialing.

"Elder You, Pope Senior, Elder Li, come with me. Dragon Saint Senior, you and the other seniors stay here!" Jiang Chen softly instructed, then stood and walked out of the meeting room.

You Xuan and the other two followed him out.

Ling Zhiping and the other three exchanged glances, remaining quietly in place. They could sense that outside the meeting room, nearly ten peak auras had locked onto them. Should they make any reckless moves, they would surely face a thunderous attack.

Swish swish swish!

Jiang Chen and the three left the meeting room, flying directly to the north side of the mountain wall.

In front of the mountain wall, Ming Que, Elder Qing, and the others had been waiting there for a while.

"Young Jiang, how did it go? What do those people want to do?" Elder Qing asked softly.

"We don't need to worry about them. There's been no anomaly with the rift here, right?" Jiang Chen asked in a deep voice.

Ming Que frowned and said, "Ever since we stationed here, the rift has occasionally erupted with spiritual energy, but no one has come through. However, the rift is gradually expanding!"

"Gradually expanding!?"

"What!?"

Jiang Chen and the others were taken aback.

Frowning deeply, Jiang Chen turned to look at You Xuan and the others: "I'll go in and take a look first. If it works, I'll call you in to help."

"Alright!"

"Be careful!"

"Lord Xue, please be cautious!"

You Xuan and the others nodded, giving a reminder in passing.

Jiang Chen nodded, leaping up into the air to reach the middle of the mountain wall. He glanced at the wall in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed.

On the mountain wall, a dark hole was slowly expanding, already reaching about ten centimeters in size. A subtle Power of Space was emanating from the hole.

Swish swish swish!

You Xuan, the Pope, and Li Jianfeng all jumped to Jiang Chen's side, surrounding him in the center.

"How could this happen? Last time, this black hole wasn't here!"

You Xuan exclaimed in surprise, while the faces of the Pope and Li Jianfeng turned quite grim.

"I'll go take a look!"

Buzz!

Jiang Chen's expression became solemn, he instructed, closed his eyes, and unleashed a vast Divine Soul aura from his entire body.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen's Divine Soul flew out from between his eyebrows, and in a flash, he plunged into the black hole.

You Xuan and the others positioned themselves in a triangle formation, guarding Jiang Chen, remaining highly vigilant.

Inside the black hole.

After Jiang Chen's Divine Soul entered, he immediately appeared in a circular transparent channel.

"This... how is this possible!?"

Seeing the scene inside the channel, Jiang Chen's Divine Soul couldn't help but exclaim.

The channel was currently filled with the Power of Space, the entire channel was slowly being reinforced, and it was expanding outward. Compared to the channel of the collapsed Dingyun Lake, this channel was twice as wide.

"Damn it! What are they trying to do? Are they trying to expand this channel to the point where a physical body can pass through?"

Jiang Chen's Divine Soul cursed with a grim expression.

With a determined gaze, Jiang Chen's entire body released strands of Great Dao aura, and streams of Spatial Dao Power surged out from his Divine Soul.

Buzz buzz buzz!

As soon as the Spatial Dao Power appeared, it instantly attacked the barriers of the channel.

Thud!

A dull sound came, as the Power of Space hit the barrier.

Bang!

An explosive sound rang out, the barrier did not budge at all, but the Power of Space instantly shattered.

"It's already this solid?"

Grumbling to himself, Jiang Chen's Divine Soul did not continue to attack; the previous strike was already the limit of what he could exert with the Spatial Path!

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen's Divine Soul extended a strand of Soul Force, merging it with the Spatial Path, and it shot rapidly into the channel.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen's Divine Soul emitted a Divine Soul aura, beginning to meticulously comprehend the Spatial Dao within the channel!

Swish swish swish!

The Soul Force rapidly pushed forward, as Jiang Chen's Divine Soul slowly closed his eyes, immersing himself fully in sensing that strand of Soul Force.
