"Impossible! How can this be possible!"

Lu Pingshan looked at Jiang Chen, who had stood up, with a face full of shock.

"How can there be a Great Dao that can resist the oppression of the Innate Path's Great Dao Seed? How is this possible? What level of Great Dao is contained within that True Dragon Martial Soul? How can it be so powerful?!"

Hu Xian'er was pale with disbelief as she looked at the True Dragon Martial Soul floating in front of the Great Blue Sword.

The old man Yang and the spherical middle-aged man, who had remained silent all along, were both dumbfounded as they stared at Jiang Chen, deep shock evident in their eyes!

"No matter what! I must obtain this Martial Soul! I must!"

A strong look of greed appeared in Lu Pingshan's eyes as he spoke with a ferocious expression, "A Great Dao stronger than the Innate Path, I must obtain it!"

With those words, Lu Pingshan stood up, walked to the red light path, and stepped onto it with determination.

Buzz!

Thud!

The power of the Great Dao appeared, and Lu Pingshan fell flat to the ground.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Lu Pingshan roared and struggled, but could not get up, turning his head to look at Jiang Chen standing, with intense jealousy in his eyes.

The three Hu Xian'er exchanged glances and each chose a light path to step onto, only to be pressed to the ground one by one without exception.

Thus, a comical scene presented itself in the great hall.

On the nine light paths of gold, green, blue, red, yellow, cyan, purple, black, and white, apart from Jiang Chen standing straight at the starting point, five other people lay prostrate on the five paths, all six with eyes closed, comprehending the Great Dao!

The True Dragon Martial Soul floated there in front of the Great Blue Sword, staring at the sword, as the sword dao pressure on the blue light path gradually began to disappear.

Roar!

When the blue light path was about to completely vanish, the True Dragon Martial Soul let out a sudden roar.

The Great Blue Sword trembled, and a sense of grievance emerged.

Buzz!

The sword dao pressure on the blue light path strengthened again.

In the continuous dragon roars of the True Dragon Martial Soul, the sword dao pressure on the blue light path slowly intensified.

"This is..."

Jiang Chen paused, a hint of joy emerging in his eyes.

With the increase in sword dao pressure, Jiang Chen could clearly feel the aura from the spatial path barrier above his head becoming more distinct.

The True Dragon Martial Soul is helping me comprehend the spatial path!?

Jiang Chen opened his eyes to look at the True Dragon Martial Soul floating ahead, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Simultaneously, the True Dragon Martial Soul turned to look at Jiang Chen, with a hint of approval in its eyes!

This...

Does the True Dragon Martial Soul truly have its own consciousness?!

What is going on?

Jiang Chen was startled, his Martial Soul actually developed consciousness!?

Staring intently into the eyes of the True Dragon Martial Soul, Jiang Chen carefully discerned!

Is this... subconsciousness?

After observing for a while, Jiang Chen gained a slight understanding in his heart.

All of the actions of the True Dragon Martial Soul seemed to be driven by its subconscious, namely, it hadn't developed independent consciousness, much like a Martial Soul instinctively protecting its master.

Now its subconscious suppression of the Great Blue Sword slowly increasing the sword dao pressure — is this a way of thanking me for upholding its dignity?

Wait!

A Martial Soul... has dignity too?

Jiang Chen paused, a peculiar look emerging in his eyes, not knowing why, but the concept of the dignity of the True Dragon Martial Soul suddenly popped into his mind!

"Well! What a character this Martial Soul has!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, feeling relieved in his heart.

A Martial Soul with dignity is truly fitting to become my brother! After all, I never thought of it as merely a force, isn't dignity a good thing?

No longer entangled with matters of the Martial Soul, Jiang Chen slowly closed his eyes, beginning to comprehend the surrounding spatial path!

...

Outside.

The Dragon Saint and the Pope had already arrived at the front of the earth cave.

"Yan Hu, did Mr. Jiang really say that?" The Dragon Saint looked at Yan Hu in surprise after hearing Jiang Chen's explanation.

Yan Hu nodded: "Yes!"

"For Yuan Star... it doesn't allow anyone to come out... the vast spiritual energy along with the Great Dao aura... this... could it be..."

The more the Dragon Saint thought about it, the more his expression didn't look right, and in the end, his face was filled with excitement and shock!

"Dragon Saint, what are you thinking about?"

The Pope looked at the Dragon Saint suspiciously.

"A'erfa, this matter... let's talk about it when Mr. Jiang comes out. Meanwhile, the representatives of the major alliances have already arrived. Tomorrow, you go preside over this meeting. I'll stay here to watch it, waiting for Mr. Jiang. If it's truly what I think it is, Mr. Jiang may not be able to come out any time soon!" The Dragon Saint glanced at the entrance of the earth cave, a deep look of anticipation in his eyes.

The Pope hesitated and frowned slightly, "Isn't this not good? Those representatives want to meet Mr. Jiang, and for me to go..."

"I'll go!"

A shout came from behind.

Everyone paused and turned their heads.

A figure drenched in blood stood waveringly ten meters or so behind them, looking at the cave entrance with a worried expression.

Behind her, two similarly blood-drenched figures staggered forward.

"Young Madam!"

Yan Hu's expression changed, his figure flashed to Ye Jingyi's side, unleashing his full aura, and torrents of powerful spiritual power surged out, tearing apart the sword energy attempting to attack Ye Jingyi!

Swish! Swish!

Ying Zi and Wu Qianxun leapt to Gong Lin and Yè Yùwǎn's side, helping them fend off the sword energy.

"Madam Ye, you..." The Dragon Saint hesitated, looking at Ye Jingyi.

"Dragon Saint Senior, Jiang Chen discussed meeting with the representatives a few days ago. This matter concerns the Martial Dao World of the entire world, even the people's of the world. It cannot afford a single mistake. Additionally, if only His Holiness the Pope goes, it might leave room for criticism."

Ye Jingyi panted a few breaths, softly, "Now, with unexpected complications, if Jiang Chen really can't go, I am Jiang Chen's wife, and among the brothers of the Flame Dragon, the highest leader next to Jiang Chen, replacing Jiang Chen is perfectly fitting!"

The Dragon Saint remained silent for a while, then nodded gently: "Alright, I'll go with you!"

The Dragon Saint was worried Ye Jingyi couldn't handle the situation. While the Pope was intent on alliance with him and others, he nonetheless wasn't from the Flame Dragon Kingdom. If Ye Jingyi didn't go, it would be acceptable for the Pope to speak as the strongest at the alliance's meeting, but if Ye Jingyi was to go, he must represent the Flame Dragon Kingdom to support her!

"Thank you, Dragon Saint Senior."

Ye Jingyi nodded, turning to look at the cave entrance: "Let's wait for a bit. If, at the very last moment, Jiang Chen still hasn't come out, then we'll go."

"Alright!"

The Dragon Saint nodded. He understood that for this meeting, it would be best if Jiang Chen could make it, but...

Glancing at the earth cave, the Dragon Saint didn't hold much hope. If it was really the thing he thought it was inside, Jiang Chen might not just miss this meeting so simply!
