Wu Shattered Star River

With the battles at the Death Row Camp and the Blazing Fire Camp concluded, they each went to support the remaining battlefields.

Despite the Human Race's victory here, in four of the other seven or eight battlefields, the Human Race was being beaten back steadily, suffering heavy casualties.

The Death Row Camp later supported two more battlefields, and this battle lasted a full day and night, ending with casualties on both sides and a mutual retreat.

Afterward, when the battle situation was tallied, the Human Race had suffered relatively more casualties.

This was unavoidable; with the Ghost Race and the Faceless Race joining forces, this stronghold of the Human Race would definitely have been unable to hold out if it weren't backed by the Northern Underworld.

Although the Northern Underworld was a mid-level realm, it was among the strongest of the mid-level realms, with a relatively large number of troops and experts.

The Northern Underworld Army would never allow this stronghold to be occupied by the Ghost Race and the Faceless Race, as that would be equivalent to trapping the Human Race of the Northern Underworld inside.

Jiang Han and the others returned to Death Row Mountain on a warship. This time, Ma Ji was very generous, rewarding the entire army.

All death row inmates were given three days of leave, and a batch of fine wines and delicacies was brought out for them to drink and eat to their hearts' content.

Jiang Han had no addiction to alcohol. Although there were many soldiers guarding outside, he did not go out, choosing to sit with Xuan Yuan Qing inside Stockade A-5.

Wu Geng obsequiously brought in some fine wines, delicacies, and spiritual fruits, and Jiang Han and Xuan Yuan Qing casually ate and drank a little.

Seeing Wu Geng squatting to the side, pouring wine for the two of them, Jiang Han thought for a moment and asked, "What good things are there in this stronghold? Why are the Ghost Race and the Faceless Race constantly attacking this stronghold?"

Wu Geng explained, "It's because of those large mining areas. The Northern Underworld Mining Area has five major mining areas, and there are also the Bluestone Mining Area, making it six major mining areas."

"Half of these eleven mining areas used to belong to the Ghost Race and the Faceless Race. More than fifty years ago, the Northern Underworld King led a large army to capture them, and the Ghost Race and the Faceless Race have always wanted to take them back."

Jiang Han was even more puzzled and asked, "The Ghost Race and the Faceless Race both belong to the second tier, right? Their strength is about the same as the Human Race, right? Why were their mining areas seized by the Human Race alone?"

"That's because the Northern Underworld King is too strong!"

Wu Geng said with a face full of admiration, "More than fifty years ago, the Northern Underworld King led a large army alone to fiercely attack several major mining areas. At that time, three Dao Harmonization experts from the Faceless Race and the Ghost Race came, but they were all defeated by the Northern Underworld King alone."

"The Northern Underworld King set a rule with the two races: if the two races want to seize the mining areas, Dao Entry level experts are not allowed to take action, otherwise, he will personally take action and invade the realms of the two races!"

"Awesome!"

Jiang Han and Xuan Yuan Qing listened with surging emotions. The Northern Underworld King fought three Dao Harmonization experts alone. This was absolute confidence in his own combat power, and it also showed that he was a person of great ambition.

"Alas!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Han sighed slightly. Marquis Yan Bei should have passed the message to the Northern Underworld King.

He just didn't know what the Northern Underworld King was thinking, whether he would go to help the Human Race of the Star Dust Realm from thousands of miles away.

Had the Barbarian Race already descended? Was the Human Race of the Star Dust Realm still there? Had Lan Lin, Jiang Li, Jiang Lang, Si Li, and the others all died in battle?

Thinking of this, Jiang Han felt a little breathless, and his heart was very depressed.

Just as Jiang Han was pondering, a figure walked in from outside, carrying a wine jar in his hand.

He appeared at the door, and Jiang Han and the others noticed him. The three of them looked surprised and stood up one after another.

Ma Ji actually came!

Wu Geng was a typical sycophant, nodding and bowing as he greeted him, saying, "Commander Ma, what are your orders?"

Ma Ji smiled at Jiang Han, ignored Wu Geng, and walked in with the wine jar.

He sat unceremoniously on a futon and pointed to another futon, saying, "Jiang Han, sit down, I'll have a couple of drinks with you."

Xuan Yuan Qing and Wu Geng exchanged glances, and the two of them tactfully retreated, standing outside the earthen stockade and closing the door behind them.

Jiang Han had a good impression of Ma Ji. After bowing respectfully, he sat down honestly.

Ma Ji took out a cup and poured himself a cup. Then he poured wine for Jiang Han, and Jiang Han quickly took the wine jar.

Ma Ji was giving him face, and he didn't dare to climb up the pole.

"I'm here this time to thank you!"

Ma Ji said with a smile, "Today's battle made me very proud. The commanders of several camps praised my Death Row Camp. This is all your credit, come, I'll toast you!"

Jiang Han quickly said a few words of humility, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp. He was not afraid that Ma Ji would poison him. He was immune to all poisons. Besides, if Ma Ji dared to attack him, Feng Yi Jun and Marquis Yan Bei would not let him go.

Ma Ji was not a death row inmate, but a commander of the Northern Underworld Army. He would not work for Wu He Jun.

"The matter of Qiu Luo a few days ago… may come to nothing."

Ma Ji talked about Qiu Luo's assassination of Jiang Han. He explained, "We have been pursuing many clues. Feng Yi Jun even went to find Marquis Yan Bei, and the Military Intelligence Department is also investigating. But the person who passed the message to Qiu Luo is already dead, the clues are broken, so we can't trace the mastermind behind it."

Jiang Han nodded slightly. He had already known that this would be the result. Wu He Jun would not be so stupid as to leave a trail, otherwise Marquis Yan Bei would definitely be furious.

"There may be continuous large-scale battles breaking out in the coming period!"

Ma Ji's face became a little heavy. He said, "The Ghost Race has a stronghold nearby, and that stronghold is connected to a large realm of the Ghost Race. Recently, another Dao Harmonization expert was born in that large realm."

"So… the Ghost Race thinks they can do it again, and they want to retake the major mining areas and avenge the past. You have to be mentally prepared."

Jiang Han understood somewhat. No wonder there had been constant battles recently. It seemed that the Ghost Race had gained confidence and wanted to clash with the Northern Underworld King.

Ma Ji picked up his wine and took a sip, saying, "Be careful in future battles, don't be ambushed by Ghost Race experts. Of course, you don't have to worry about those at the ninth level of the Dao Peering Realm. Feng Yi Jun is very strong. Even if two experts at the peak of the ninth level of the Dao Peering Realm come, Feng Yi Jun can hold them off for a while."

"Feng Yi Jun is that strong?"

Jiang Han exclaimed secretly. This woman didn't seem very old, but she had already reached the peak of the Undying Realm?

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Commander Ma, does Feng Yi Jun come from a super clan?"

Commander Ma glanced at the closed door and said, "Feng Yi Jun's grandfather is one of the two strongest Marquis-level experts under the Northern Underworld King. By the way… the Wu family has two Marquis-level experts. Although they are not considered strong, the Wu family is also a top-ranked wealthy family in the Northern Underworld."

Jiang Han understood. He got up and bowed to Ma Ji, saying, "Thank you, Commander Ma, for clearing up my doubts and giving me guidance. I am extremely grateful."

"Alright!"

Commander Ma waved his hand and said, "You are still young and have unlimited possibilities. If you cultivate hard, you can leave this Death Row Camp."

"You have a deep understanding of Dao techniques. If you cultivate hard, you can easily break through to the seventh level of the Dao Peering Realm. You will have a higher chance of surviving during the upcoming battles."

"Easily break through?"

Jiang Han was slightly stunned. He became excited. Ma Ji was intentionally guiding him, and this was a rare opportunity.

Although Ma Ji and Lan Lin were both Divine Adventurers, Ma Ji was a Divine Adventurer from above, with extensive knowledge and experience. He was definitely stronger than Lan Lin in terms of martial arts knowledge.

He humbly asked, "Commander Ma, I feel that breaking through to the seventh level of the Dao Peering Realm is a distant prospect. The Earth Immortal Mystic Realm… that is, the seventh Mystic Realm, I can't even sense it. It's very difficult to break through. Could it be that I haven't found my own Dao?"

Ma Ji frowned and asked, "Dao? What Dao?"

Jiang Han began to explain, saying that those in the Star Dust Realm who wanted to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm had to find their own Dao. He gave a brief account.

After listening, Ma Ji waved his hand speechlessly and said, "The cultivation methods of your Star Dust Realm are purely nonsense. How can it be so complicated? You still have to find your own Dao?"

"If you really find your own Dao, then you are Dao Entry experts… Isn't this nonsense?"

"The most difficult thing in the Dao Peering Realm is to construct nine Divine Altars. Opening the Mystic Realms is actually very simple. Later, I will send you a book explaining the Dao Peering Mystic Realms and martial arts cultivation."

"After you finish reading it, you will understand. With your comprehension, you will be able to open the seventh Mystic Realm in less than a month!"

"Ah?"

Jiang Han was stunned. Was the cultivation outside different from that in the Star Dust Realm?

He could break through to the Earth Immortal Realm in less than a month? Was it that easy?
