With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

Seeing the horrific state of the Zhou clan, Wang Jianjun clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, his eyes filled with rage and despair: "Utterly depraved! Absolutely utterly depraved! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet Zhou Xuanji, for his own selfish desires, slaughtered his entire clan and harmed innocent children and elders. Such a heart is no longer worthy of being called human!"

Having led the martial arts department for many years, he had witnessed countless evil cultivators committing atrocities and other races slaughtering their inhabitants, but he had never seen such insidious, cruel, and inhumane crimes. His own clansmen and ancestors had all been reduced to sacrifices for cultivation. If they hadn't been exposed today, he probably wouldn't know how much longer they would have had to hide.

How terrifying, how hateful!

Li Cang's face was cold and stern, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent. The immense pressure of a fifth-tier expert was faintly leaking out, and the surrounding air became icy cold.

"For his own lifespan and his own path of cultivation, he slaughtered his clan, sacrificed blood to all living beings, colluded with those from beyond the realm, and betrayed the human race. This fiend's sins are heinous and he could not atone for them even if he died a hundred times."

He slowly surveyed the scattered bones and blood-stained altar, his heart heavy with sorrow.

In the era of spiritual revival, humanity is surrounded by external enemies and alien races from beyond the borders are eyeing us covetously. Humanity should be united in protecting its territory, but there are always ambitious individuals who betray the bottom line of humanity for their own selfish desires, harm their own kind, and breed endless chaos.

The entire Zhou family was killed innocently, and endless injustice and bloodshed were buried deep in the clan's territory, unknown to anyone and unexonerated. How tragic!

Lin Yan stood quietly before the blood-stained altar, looking at the scattered bones, his calm gaze concealing a hint of coldness.

In the martial arts era, the destruction of sects, the decline of aristocratic families, and tragic battles are all inevitable. Yet, such tragedies of fratricide and the loss of entire families still evoke deep emotions.

Zhou Xuanji's life was both tragic and despicable. When his path to enlightenment was blocked, he abandoned the righteous path. When his lifespan was nearing its end, he harmed his closest relatives. His obsession with defying the heavens led him down a path of evil, ultimately resulting in his disgrace, disintegration of his soul, and eternal infamy. All of this was self-inflicted destruction.

"Clear the clan's land, collect the remains, and build a tomb for the entire Zhou family to bury them, so that their bodies will not be left to rot in the wilderness," Li Cang said calmly.

Wang Jianjun nodded emphatically: "I will immediately mobilize the martial arts department to properly bury all the deceased, thoroughly investigate all remaining evidence of the Zhou family's crimes, and publicize Zhou Xuanji's crimes in Jiangcheng to comfort the innocent souls."

The three continued their exploration of the clan's forbidden area, thoroughly eradicating Zhou Xuanji's extraterrestrial blood soul imprint and incomplete evil cultivation techniques, destroying the blood altar, and eliminating any potential future threats. They also uncovered secret letters connecting him to the extraterrestrial blood soul clan, along with numerous pieces of evidence of his clandestine schemes. This led to the revelation of the truth behind several mysterious disappearances and spiritual energy anomalies in Jiangcheng's past, exposing all the long-buried, sordid secrets to the world.

With all hidden dangers eliminated and all evidence of crimes verified, the bloody turmoil in the Zhou family's territory has come to a complete end.

After the turmoil subsided, the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Department took over the Zhou family's territory, properly handled the aftermath, collected the remains of the family members, gave them a proper burial and erected a monument, cleared up all the remaining troubles, and publicly displayed Zhou Xuanji's heinous crimes throughout the city as a warning to others.

Lin Yan did not participate in the subsequent complicated matters. After bidding farewell to Li Cang and Wang Jianjun, he went straight back to the secluded residence prepared for him by the Martial Arts Department.

He benefited greatly from this battle.

Most importantly, Lin Yan refined a considerable amount of life essence with the Devouring Heaven Array Pattern, making his accumulation and foundation in the Life Spring Realm increasingly profound. He can now begin preparing to condense the Heaven and Earth Divine Bridge and break through to the next realm.

If he dared to cultivate using the Devouring Heaven Array Pattern in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, he would surely end up like the ruthless Empress, becoming an enemy of the world. But in the Great Xia Dynasty, not only is that not the case, but on the contrary, people are paying more and more attention to Lin Yan.

The situation on Earth is critical. In the future, more extraterrestrial beings whose realms far surpass those of the humans on Earth are destined to descend. Everyone is eagerly hoping that a supreme being will emerge who can rise to power in the shortest possible time and sweep away all enemies.

Don't be fooled by the fact that fifth-tier national-level martial artists like Li Cang are the strongest on Blue Star. They are ultimately suppressed by the environment of heaven and earth. Their originally extraordinary talents have wasted decades of their lives. They can break through again, but it is difficult to grow to the peak.

Therefore, when Lin Yan suddenly appeared and achieved several miraculous feats, they seemed to see a brilliant imperial star rising!

That is why the powerful figures at the pinnacle of the Great Xia Dynasty granted him such high authority, essentially using the entire strength of the Great Xia Dynasty to support one person.

The secluded meditation chamber was filled with spiritual energy, and was quiet and undisturbed.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, his mind focused on the Great Dao within himself. On one hand, he refined the vast essence accumulated within his body, and on the other hand, he carefully reviewed the collision of Dao principles and the details of the operation of secret techniques in the entire battle. His understanding of the Qianzi Secret and the Devouring Heaven Array Pattern had taken a step further.

At the same time, he took out several spirit stones, and as his thoughts flowed, the same number of primordial runes shot out from between his eyebrows, merging with the spirit stones.

In an instant, a purple glow burst forth, intertwined with the strange phenomenon of purple aura coming from the east. The originally white spirit stones underwent a dramatic transformation, evolving into "divine sources" that resembled amethyst crystals and contained even richer life essence!

The source is the "spiritual stone" of the universe, and the divine source can be called the most precious treasure of heaven and earth. The even rarer divine source liquid can only be extracted by ancient emperors. It can seal the life force of all living beings below the emperor and make them exist in the world forever.

Given Lin Yan's current level of cultivation, even ordinary sources would be sufficient for his cultivation. Right now, he is directly using divine sources, which is extremely extravagant!

The next second, the already spiritually rich cultivation chamber suddenly increased in energy several times over. Life essence condensed into mist, creating a magnificent and colorful scene, and as the Daoist scriptures circulated, it continuously flowed into the body.

Lin Yan cleared his mind of distractions, devoted himself to seclusion, and accumulated his strength in preparation for breaking through to the Divine Bridge Realm, waiting for his cultivation to be completed...

Jiangcheng Martial Arts Academy, the residence of national-level experts.

Li Cang sat upright at his desk, flipping through all the files and documents related to the Zhou family's massacre, his expression still solemn and dignified.

Zhou Xuanji lay low for decades, deeply hidden, colluding with extraterrestrial races to secretly plot chaos in Jiangcheng, nearly causing an even greater catastrophe for humanity. If it weren't for Lin Yan's mysterious methods, his ability to see through the truth and forcefully suppress the traitor, this bloody calamity buried deep in darkness would have continued for who knows how long, harming countless lives.

This incident also made Li Cang realize that the hidden dangers within the Great Xia Dynasty were far more numerous and more concealed than he had imagined.

The infiltration of alien races from beyond the borders, the ambitious traitors within the human race, and the hidden evil cultivation forces are like malignant tumors lurking in various places, secretly breeding chaos and threatening the stability of the human race's territory.

Immediately, in his capacity as a national-level expert, he submitted a document to the Great Xia Martial Arts Headquarters, requesting that internal self-inspection efforts be intensified nationwide to rigorously investigate hidden spies, heretical cultivators, and ambitious forces from outside the region, eliminate hidden dangers within the human race, rectify martial arts order, and strengthen the human race's defenses.

The document was approved very quickly. The Great Xia Martial Arts Headquarters attached great importance to it and immediately issued a new policy. Martial arts branches across the country simultaneously launched a self-inspection and cleanup campaign to eliminate hidden dangers.

In addition, the preparatory work for the establishment of Wuhan University in Jiangcheng was also put on Li Cang's core agenda.
