Wu Shattered Star River

"Brother Zheng, we had an agreement. You suddenly stopping us like this isn't right, is it?"

"Commander Ma, it's not me stopping you, but Lord Tulei's intention. To be honest... Lord Tulei suspects you have ulterior motives. Otherwise, why would you travel all the way from the Northern Desolation Realm to help open up this interface?"

"Didn't I tell you before? One of our brothers is from the Star Dust Realm. Now, the Barbarians of the Star Dust Realm may descend at any time, and we are going to rescue the Star Dust Realm."

"It's useless to tell me this. Lord Tulei doesn't believe it. He has ordered you to withdraw, or he will personally come and capture you! Commander Ma, don't make things difficult for us. We are only acting on orders."

Listening to the conversation between Commander Zheng and Ma Ji, Jiang Han understood the situation.

Lord Tulei was the Marquis-level expert guarding Wutong City, the direct superior of Commander Zheng and the others.

Lord Tulei didn't know where he learned about the matter here and sent someone to order them to withdraw.

Some Grand Commanders looked a little unhappy. Commander Zheng had accepted 5 billion Divine Crystals from them, and after only opening up a third of the interface river, he was asking them to withdraw. This 5 billion was as good as throwing it into the water.

Without opening up the interface river, they wouldn't have completed this mission. They wasted so much time in vain, and they wouldn't be able to explain it to Marquis Yanbei when they returned.

"Commander Zheng, you're not being fair. You accepted..."

Liu Ming was about to retort, but Ma Ji waved his hand to stop him. Then, he pulled Commander Zheng aside and activated a soundproof barrier. The two of them discussed for a long time inside.

After waiting for a while, Ma Ji and Commander Zheng returned.

Ma Ji said to Liu Ming, "You all stay here and don't wander around. Liu Ming, you and I will go with Commander Zheng to seek an audience with Lord Tulei."

Jiang Han and Liu Ming exchanged glances, and a thought suddenly occurred to them.

Could it be that Lord Tulei wanted benefits? Commander Zheng and the others took 5 billion Divine Crystals, but Lord Tulei didn't receive any benefits, so he made them stop?

Ma Ji and Liu Ming left with Commander Zheng and the others, and the others could only wait anxiously.

However, since Commander Zheng agreed to Ma Ji and Liu Ming meeting Lord Tulei, perhaps there was a possibility of a resolution?

A day later, Ma Ji and Liu Ming returned. Jiang Han and the others hurriedly greeted them. Ma Ji forced a smile and said, "Alright, we can continue working. Damn it... the upper echelons of this Ancestral World are completely corrupt!"

Sure enough!

Jiang Han understood instantly. Jiang Han asked, "How much did it cost?"

Having spent so much time with Ma Ji, Jiang Han trusted his character. Moreover, he and Liu Ming went together, so the two of them wouldn't try to scam them out of these Divine Crystals.

Jiang Han said, "Brother Ma, if Marquis Yanbei doesn't reimburse you for this 5 billion, I'll give it to you when I have Divine Crystals!"

"Brother Jiang is generous!"

"Brother Jiang is a man of his word!"

Liu Ming and the others said appreciatively. 5 billion was not a small sum, and it was a huge amount for Ma Ji. Jiang Han's attitude was impeccable.

Ma Ji smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. Liu Ming and I went together and can testify. Marquis Yanbei is a reasonable person and should return it to me."

"It's okay!"

Jiang Han said solemnly, "When my realm and combat power increase, it won't be difficult to earn some Divine Crystals. Anyway, if Marquis Yanbei doesn't give it, I'll pay for these Divine Crystals. You're helping me with my work, so I can't let Brother Ma lose money."

Jiang Han's attitude made everyone feel very comfortable. Although Jiang Han didn't have Divine Crystals now, his attitude was impeccable. Moreover, everyone believed that as long as Jiang Han didn't die, earning tens of billions of Divine Crystals in the future would be too easy.

With the matter settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!

Ma Ji thought for a while and said, "Let Tian Rong and the others reinforce the interface river again. We'll send out 150 people each time. Two groups will take turns bombarding it, which will speed up the progress and strive to open it up within two or three months to avoid accidents."

Liu Ming nodded and said, "That makes sense. The atmosphere in this Ancestral World is too bad. What if a few more Marquis-level experts come and demand hundreds of billions? We should finish the job as soon as possible to avoid changes."

Ma Ji and Liu Ming took fifty Grand Commanders in, and Jiang Han followed them into the interface river.

After finding Tian Rong, the latter didn't waste any words and led ten Grand Commanders to start reinforcing the interface river again.

Although engraving Divine Arrays required a lot of array materials and more effort.

But what Ma Ji said made sense. This place was not the Northern Desolation Realm. Who knew if the next Lord Tulei would appear? It was better to speed up the progress.

It took two days for Tian Rong and the others to engrave hundreds of Divine Arrays and reinforce the interface river.

Ma Ji had the fifty Grand Commanders who came in to bombard it together, and sure enough, there were no problems, and the speed of opening up the interface river began to accelerate.

"Alright, Jiang Han, go cultivate!"

Ma Ji observed for a while, nodded with satisfaction and said, "According to the progress, it is estimated that it will be completely opened up in more than two months!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Han became excited. In more than two months, he would be able to return to the Star Dust Realm. According to the time calculation, the Barbarians would definitely not have descended.

If he took three hundred Grand Commanders into the Star Dust Realm, he could easily suppress the three races and then suppress the Barbarian army.

Jiang Han returned to Peach Garden Mountain and continued to cultivate, striving to build two more layers of the Divine Altar in two months, while also clarifying the direction of offensive Dao techniques.

Lord Tulei, having received one hundred Divine Crystals, did not come to make trouble again.

The following month was very quiet. Commander Zheng didn't even come to take a look, only Zheng Fei would come over every half month to take a peek.

In a month's time, Jiang Han didn't build a Divine Altar, but clarified the direction of offensive Dao techniques.

He was preparing to evolve an offensive Dao technique similar to the Shield of Space-Time!

The Shield of Space-Time was to connect the nearby power of space-time to form a powerful defense. Attacking the light shield was equivalent to attacking the nearby Shield of Space-Time.

Since he could use the nearby power of space-time to form a defense, then theoretically he could use the nearby power of space-time to form an offensive Dao technique.

Since he could evolve the Shield of Space-Time, then theoretically he could evolve the Sword of Space-Time!

Mobilizing the nearby power of space-time, condensing it into a sword, and slashing at the enemy, this power should be very strong.

This Dao technique was already borrowing the power of heaven and earth, was it a method of an Entering Dao-level expert? Even if the power couldn't contend against an Entering Dao-level expert, it should be able to injure a Ninth Level Peeking Dao expert, right?

Of course!

All of this was just Jiang Han's fantasy. Borrowing the power of space-time for defense and borrowing the power of space-time for attack were completely different directions. It felt tens of times more complicated, and whether it could be evolved was also a problem.

With a direction, one always had to try.

It was a pity that the soul could not enter the secret room of the Heavenly Beast Cauldron. Otherwise, if Jiang Han cultivated in the secret room for a month, he would probably make great progress.

Ten days passed again, and Jiang Han, who was in seclusion, was interrupted.

The Divine Array in the wooden house shone brightly, and someone outside had touched the Divine Array.

Jiang Han quickly got up and opened the door. Standing outside was Ma Ji.

Ma Ji looked solemn and brought bad news—some problems had occurred on the interface river side, and it could not continue to be opened up!
