Wu Shattered Star River

While Ma Ji was in the city, Xuan Yuanqing found a soldier and asked if he could inform Commander Ma that Jiang Han was trying to break through to the seventh level of the Seeker Realm and wouldn't be participating in the upcoming battle.

If any other death row inmate had asked a soldier this, the soldier would have likely slapped them away.

Jiang Han was different. Many soldiers had personally witnessed Ma Ji entering Fortress A5 to drink with Jiang Han.

The soldier went into the city to report to Ma Ji, who gave his reply. Jiang Han didn't need to fight this time, and Xuan Yuanqing was instructed to stay at Fortress A5 to protect him.

When the warriors of Fortress A5 heard the soldier's message, their faces were filled with envy, but also secret bitterness.

Among the more than 20,000 death row inmates on Death Row Mountain, Jiang Han was currently the only one with this treatment.

With Jiang Han and Xuan Yuanqing not participating in the battle, Fortress A5 lost two important combat forces, and many people would probably die this time.

The warship soared into the sky, and Xuan Yuanqing returned to his room, activated the divine formation, and continued to protect Jiang Han.

A day and a half later, the death row camp returned.

This time, the casualties were unexpectedly heavy, and nearly half of Fortress A5 had died.

The square was filled with corpses, and many more were seriously injured. The death toll exceeded five thousand, and another three to four thousand death row inmates were injured.

"What's going on?"

Xuan Yuanqing waited for the death row inmates from Fortress A5 to enter and quickly inquired.

Long Jiu and Lao Sun were both seriously injured, but Wu Geng was unharmed, probably because he had been slacking off, secretly hanging back at the rear of the formation.

Wu Geng said with a wry smile, "When we were fighting the Faceless Clan of the Ghost Race, the Nightmare Clan ambushed us. This race is extremely terrifying. Not only the death row camp, but the other army camps also suffered heavy casualties."

"If Marquis Yan Bei hadn't urgently dispatched more than a dozen Lord-level experts to support us, even more people would have died. Even so, our battle line was still swallowed up by thousands of miles. If this happens a few more times, Death Row Mountain will become a battlefield."

"Nightmare Clan?"

Xuan Yuanqing had heard of this race. He frowned and asked, "What kind of innate divine abilities does this race have? Why are they so terrifying?"

A look of fear appeared in Wu Geng's eyes as he said, "This race can release a kind of innate Dao technique that can suddenly make you dream. Warriors with weak souls will suddenly fall asleep on the battlefield, and many warriors will also experience hallucinations, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams…"

"So terrifying?"

Xuan Yuanqing clicked his tongue in amazement. The world was so vast, and there were indeed all kinds of wonders.

Warriors suddenly falling asleep in battle? Wouldn't that be like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others?

"The three clans joined forces!"

A look of worry appeared in Xuan Yuanqing's eyes as he asked, "Can the Northern Desolate Army withstand them this time? Will the Human Ancestral Realm mobilize reinforcements to support us?"

"The possibility is not high…"

Wu Geng sighed and said, "King Bei Huang is very arrogant and domineering. It is said that he has a bad relationship with the experts in the Human Ancestral Realm."

"So, unless this stronghold is completely impossible to defend, he will not ask the Ancestral Realm for help, and the Ancestral Realm will not be eager to offer assistance…"

Xuan Yuanqing frowned and asked, "Since the Ghost Race can unite with the Faceless Clan and the Nightmare Clan, do we humans have no allies? Can't we unite with the other races nearby?"

"We have almost no allies!"

Wu Geng sighed again and said, "A million years ago, our human race was the leader of all races, suppressing countless races, occupying countless realms, and having feuds with many races."

"Later, the human race declined, and the Desolate Race, the Flame Race, the Underworld Race, and the Spirit Race rose. The Desolate Race and the human race are mortal enemies. The Desolate Race has declared—any race that dares to ally with the human race will be the enemy of the Desolate Race. Think about it, how dare ordinary small races stand on the human side?"

"That's so miserable?"

Xuan Yuanqing rubbed his nose awkwardly, then asked in confusion, "Since the Desolate Race is so strong, and the human race is already in the second tier, why doesn't the Desolate Race destroy the human race?"

Wu Geng was very clear about these things. He explained without thinking, "Because the Desolate Race and the Underworld Race have been at war, and the Spirit Race is relatively friendly to the human race."

"The Flame Race's attitude towards the human race is neither good nor bad, but the Flame Race does not want to see the Desolate Race annex the human territory and become stronger. Therefore, the Flame Race and the Spirit Race secretly hold the Desolate Race back, and the human race has survived!"

"I see!"

Xuan Yuanqing understood, and he didn't ask any more questions. With his and Jiang Han's combat power, they didn't need to worry about such big matters. It was enough to understand the general situation.

Just as Xuan Yuanqing was about to return to his room to continue protecting Jiang Han, Jiang Han's aura in the room suddenly soared, surging like a raging river.

Xuan Yuanqing's eyes lit up like stars. Jiang Han had clearly opened the Celestial Immortal Secret Realm and broken through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Only seven or eight days had passed. Ma Ji had said within a month. Jiang Han's talent was too abnormal, right?

"Jiang-ye is mighty! He has broken through to the seventh level of the Seeker Realm!"

Wu Geng's eyes lit up, and many of the death row inmates in Fortress A5 were alarmed, and joy appeared on their faces.

Jiang Han was now the guardian deity of Fortress A5. If Jiang Han had participated in the battle this time, Fortress A5 would definitely not have lost so many people.

With constant battles recently, Jiang Han's combat power had increased, and the higher the chance that the death row inmates of Fortress A5 would survive, the more excited and happy everyone naturally was.

Xuan Yuanqing opened the door and walked in. Wu Geng and the others wanted to go in and take a look, but Xuan Yuanqing closed the door.

"Not bad!"

Xuan Yuanqing sensed it and found that Jiang Han's aura was indeed getting stronger, and his physical body and soul felt like they were also strengthening. This was a significant improvement that would only occur after breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Jiang Han didn't open his eyes but continued to cultivate in seclusion. He needed to stabilize the secret realm and the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Feeling the energy sweeping through his body in the secret realm, and the significant improvement in his physical body and soul, Jiang Han was in a good mood. He didn't expect to open the secret realm so quickly.

In the Star Dust Realm, the Celestial Immortal Realm was a threshold.

Not only in the Star Dust Realm, but in all the realms, the seventh level of the Seeker Realm was also a threshold, otherwise, why would most soldiers be in the Void Realm?

Breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm in the Star Dust Realm meant joining the ranks of the strong, while breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm in the major realms meant entering the hall.

If Jiang Han was in the Northern Desolate Army, he could even become a small team leader.

Jiang Han mobilized Xuan energy and quickly injected it into the Celestial Immortal Secret Realm to stabilize it. Only when the secret realm was stable could the realm be considered stable.

"Buzz ~"

At this moment, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron suddenly lit up, and the runes on it actually began to move, and the remaining monster patterns on it were also moving rapidly.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Han was startled and didn't even bother to stabilize the Celestial Immortal Secret Realm.

The Heavenly Beast Cauldron was often activated, but it only released golden light and rotated rapidly, at most sinking into the bottom of the soul's sea of consciousness to automatically guard the soul.

Now, the runes and the monster patterns were moving automatically. This was the first time such a strange situation had occurred, how could Jiang Han not pay attention to it?

The characters and monster patterns moved for a full two incense sticks of time before the Heavenly Beast Cauldron finally calmed down slowly.

It seemed to look the same as before, and there was no change?

Jiang Han sensed it for a few circles and didn't find any changes in the Heavenly Beast Cauldron. He frowned.

Was the Heavenly Beast Cauldron having a seizure?

Jiang Han pondered for a moment, unable to figure it out, and once again carefully sensed the Heavenly Beast Cauldron.

"No, that's not right—"

Suddenly, his soul shook.

He discovered the problem. The Heavenly Beast Cauldron had changed compared to before, but the change was very small, and he hadn't noticed it just now.

The "Heaven" character on the Heavenly Beast Cauldron was different from before. There was a faint golden light on the edge of the font, as if it contained a secret realm.

Jiang Han pondered for a moment and circulated a trace of soul power to cover the "Heaven" character.

In the next second, an unexpected change occurred…
