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

Seated in the main seat was none other than Xia Dingbang, Elder Xia.

The rest are national-level powerhouses who guard the major star passages. Each of them is a figure with a strong foundation in the Great Xia Dynasty who has lived for over a hundred years. Their cultivation has long reached the peak of the fifth rank, and they are the most core pillars of the Great Xia Dynasty's current combat power.

In addition, there were representatives of major martial arts forces, heads of martial arts departments of various provinces, and the most outstanding academicians of the Great Xia Dynasty, who were the Great Xia strategists specializing in the rules of heaven and earth, ancient inheritances, and the characteristics of alien races.

The high-ranking officials, who were originally dealing with martial arts affairs in various places, were suddenly summoned to the highest emergency meeting. They all looked solemn and were on high alert, fearing that a thorny problem might arise in any place, which would lead to the complete collapse of the Great Xia situation.

Before anyone could ask, Wang Jianjun projected the live footage onto the screen, showing the entire battlefield of the Grand Canyon, the spatial rifts that were steadily suspended in mid-air, and the mysterious Devouring Sky Array patterns... At the same time, he also reported all the information that Lin Yan had mentioned.

In just a few minutes, everyone understood the whole story and the core of the Jiangcheng incident. They all fell silent, their minds still reeling from the shock.

Reversing the fifth and sixth tiers, suppressing a formed spatial channel, a perfectly controllable breakthrough site... every piece of information overturned their previous fixed understanding!

After a moment, Elder Xia spoke first, his voice steady and authoritative, clearly reaching everyone's ears:

"The situation is known. The only topic for this emergency meeting is how to deal with this spatial rift. Everyone, please share your thoughts."

As soon as the words were spoken, the meeting immediately split into two completely different voices, and a fierce debate erupted.

The first to speak were the conservatives, led by several older generation leaders, who adhered to the core principle of steady progress and not taking unnecessary risks.

"In my opinion, we should take a conservative approach and temporarily send a group of the most talented people in the Great Xia Dynasty to guard this place. On the one hand, they can use the broken corner of the world's rules and the spiritual energy that is constantly flowing into Blue Star to break through their cultivation levels. On the other hand, they should guard against extraterrestrial beings that may discover this passage at any time and attack Blue Star."

"If necessary, we can even consume some of our resources and, in conjunction with young friend Lin Yan's array patterns, completely obliterate this extraterrestrial passage once and for all."

"Moreover, as you all know, there is no shortage of sixth-order, seventh-order, or even higher-level experts among the myriad races beyond the realm. Once any line of defense collapses, it will bring unprecedented disaster."

An elderly elder with white hair spoke in a deep voice, his tone firm. Although somewhat conservative, his first thought was not to destroy the spatial rift directly, but to utilize it and maximize the opportunities that could be seized from it.

These words were unanimously echoed by many relatively conservative high-ranking officials, who all nodded in agreement.

"Old Zhang is absolutely right. No matter how great the opportunity, it cannot compare to the survival of the human race."

"Staying on Blue Star may have its limitations, but it also provides a period of stability for the martial artists of Great Xia to grow, develop step by step, and accumulate experience generation after generation. Eventually, the clouds will part and the blue sky will appear."

"What Mr. Zhang said is true, but it's a bit outdated."

"Now that the martial arts on Earth are reviving, each resurgence is more intense than the last. If we remain complacent and confined to our corner of the world, we will only slowly bring about our own destruction."

Then, another radical leader shook his head and spoke up in rebuttal, confronting the other side with imposing manner. He was a middle-aged strong man in military uniform with sharp eyes and a powerful voice.

"Staying on Blue Star for arduous cultivation is safe, and one can hone their skills to the extreme in each realm, making their combat power surpass that of alien races of the same level. However, there is one drawback: the speed of breaking through realms is too slow! So slow that even stronger enemies may have already descended upon Blue Star, and we will not have anyone at the same level as them!"

"The strongest military strategy is always to use strength to bully the weak. No one, not even the most exceptional geniuses of all time, wants to constantly fight against those in higher realms!"

"We cultivate martial arts to defy fate and change our destiny. It is inherently a struggle against heaven, against earth, and against all races for survival. If we only seek stability and worry about this and that, when will martial arts flourish, when will Great Xia rise, and when will Blue Star be restored to its former glory?!"

"Now, a divine opportunity has presented itself before us: a passage unknown even to the alien races of the outer realms. Why shouldn't we take the initiative to step out? Since we cannot break through on Blue Star, let's break through in the outer realms and grow to a point where even alien beings fear us. At that time, the crisis on Blue Star will be resolved on its own!"

The radical leaders spoke with great enthusiasm and clarity, while the conservatives also voiced their rebuttals. Both sides were essentially considering the future of Great Xia, and were locked in a fierce debate over whether to stay or leave.

The two sides clashed fiercely, and the meeting quickly reached a heated stage. Each side held its own opinion and refused to give in, making it difficult to reach a unified resolution.

Just as the debate was escalating, Lin Yan, who had been standing silently and listening attentively to everyone's opinions, finally spoke slowly.

His voice wasn't loud, but it contained an indescribable Daoist aura, clearly resounding throughout the entire virtual conference space, directly suppressing all the noisy arguments. Even the fifth-order Zhenguo couldn't help but calm down and remain silent.

These two are not in conflict.

With just a few words and a calm tone, he drew everyone's attention to this young powerhouse.

With a smile on his face, Elder Xia looked at Lin Yan and said softly, "Young friend Lin Yan, you are currently the only one who has specific information about the spatial rift. Please feel free to speak your mind. Your attitude will directly influence the final decision."

This is the attitude of the Great Xia Dynasty, and also the strongest support for Lin Yan.

"My Devouring Heaven Array can suppress all enemies from beyond the realm, even those seventh and eighth-tier beings you worry about. As long as the array remains intact, only we will be able to move outwards; there is absolutely no possibility of alien races using this to invade Blue Star!"

With a slight thought, Lin Yan imprinted the Devouring Heaven Array Patterns that were wrapped around the spatial rift in the void. Suddenly, the array pattern shone with a dazzling light and emitted an extreme divine power that suppressed all heavens, making everyone feel shocked.

"He hasn't even revealed the full power of this grand formation yet!"

As witnesses to Lin Yan's creation of miracles with the Devouring Heaven Array Pattern, Li Cang and Wang Jianjun were both stunned. Especially the former, whose cultivation level was higher, he could better appreciate just how terrifying the Dao and Dharma contained in this array pattern really were.

"Was the ancient Blue Star really this powerful? No wonder it's coveted by countless races from beyond the realms!"

The same thought flashed through the minds of the others.

"The myriad paths of heaven and earth are constantly changing since ancient times. All things in the world either advance or regress. Even a powerful civilization like the Blue Star's cultivation civilization once declined. Even if we remain peacefully on Blue Star and cultivate here, we will eventually go to war with the alien races."

"Instead of passively waiting for them to arrive and for unknown risks, we should take the initiative to seize the opportunity, and before they discover us, go out of Earth to take a look and turn potential dangers into strength."
