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

"Here, there is both free-flowing spiritual energy from beyond the realm and a fragment of broken rules, enough for everyone to hone their cultivation to the extreme under safe conditions, accumulate the deepest foundation, and thus complete a breakthrough."

"In the future, those who have cultivated diligently here will become the backbone of Great Xia. Even if unforeseen events occur during their exploration of the outer realms, and they encounter powerful enemies, their homeland will still retain its strength to continue guarding the spatial rift!"

As soon as Xia Dingbang finished speaking, the group of people led by Elder Zhang all relaxed. The bottom line for survival that they had always adhered to was not eliminated by this era, but instead became the strategy for consolidating the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty and built a reliable way out for the human race.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Dingbang changed his tone, his aura suddenly becoming sharp and fierce, his whole being like a drawn sword protecting the country.

"But staying does not mean sitting idly by and waiting to die, or standing still!"

"The shackles of Earth, good and bad go hand in hand, are a predetermined rule of heaven and earth, which will gradually weaken over time. If it were a peaceful and stable era, we could develop slowly, but now, even if we want to wait, the myriad races beyond the realm will not sit idly by and watch us grow."

"Today, we are fortunate that this passage opened by the Blood Soul Clan has not been discovered by the alien races. However, as time goes by, this place will be connected to the outer space, and sooner or later the alien races will discover it."

"At that time, if we are still all trapped at the fifth level, and face the invasion of alien races at the sixth, seventh, or even higher levels, we cannot simply surrender and be slaughtered, or rely on Lin Yan's formation for protection."

"Therefore, going out is an inevitable path that we will have to take in the future, and it is a necessary step to actively develop our business."

"Staying here and going out are two things that must go hand in hand."

"If those who stay are the Great Xia's retreat, the cornerstone of its stability, then those who go out will become the Great Xia's pioneering blade, the axe that cleaves through the darkness of the future!"

"One strategy: defense and offense; one strategy: consolidation and expansion; one strategy: stability and advancement!"

"A two-pronged approach, complementing each other, balancing the stable development of the human race with its covert rise—this is the most perfect choice for the Great Xia at present!"

Old Master Xia's voice was firm and resonant. Following Lin Yan's ideas, he made further improvements and finalized the dual-strategy approach on the spot. Every word he spoke shocked the entire audience.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the middle-aged, powerful figure in military uniform on the screen gleamed with excitement, his face beaming with anticipation. The previous heated debate had now transformed into heartfelt anticipation.

"Gentlemen, does anyone have any objections?"

The next second, Xia Dingbang, sitting in the main seat, slowly rose and his majestic gaze swept across the entire room.

"none."

"agree."

In an instant, both Old Zhang and the middle-aged man, as well as the two factions they represented, were convinced and no one dared to refute them.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's continue our discussion on this topic: the list of the first group of people who went to the forbidden zone of the canyon for cultivation and the list of those who went out to explore."

"Old Zhang, you take the former, and Xiao Zhou take the latter."

Elder Xia handed the task directly to Elder Zhang and the middle-aged man, while also reserving some slots for the various sects and aristocratic families.

It's important to know that within these lineages, there are still quite a few old monsters in "seclusion," and this is a perfect opportunity to pull them out...

The Great Xia's highest emergency meeting quickly came to a successful conclusion, and all resolutions were swiftly implemented.

Elder Zhang was fully responsible for selecting the first batch of martial artists to enter the canyon restricted area. He prioritized those who had been trapped at the peak of the fourth rank for a long time, as well as the fifth-rank old monsters from various sects who were in seclusion.

General Zhou was responsible for selecting the pioneering teams. He conducted rigorous selections at each level. For their first trip outside of Blue Star, the best candidates were fifth-level martial artists who were resolute in their beliefs, decisive in killing, and proficient in the "Way of Survival".

Subsequently, the rotation system for martial artists guarding the major star passages, the prohibitions and modifications to the canyon restricted areas, the precautions for exploring the outer realms and the priority levels of intelligence, etc., were finalized one by one and quickly implemented.

Just as the meeting was about to end and everyone else had taken their leave and left the virtual conference room, Li Cang took a half step forward and solemnly reported the remaining important matters to Xia Dingbang on the screen.

"Old Xia, there is still a very important treasure that needs to be dealt with in this battle."

"The complete physical body of Xue Luo, a sixth-tier Blood Soul Clan expert, remains here. There are still powerful rules and pressure remnants on it. If it can be refined into a combat puppet, its combat power will surpass that of a fifth-tier peak under the stimulation of spirit stones, and it may even be able to challenge a sixth-tier early stage expert."

"Its value is immeasurable, no less than the top heritages of Earth."

Old Xia remained silent for a moment, his eyes gleaming as he pondered deeply.

The bodies of sixth-tier alien races, whether refined into combat puppets or disassembled to forge divine weapons, are undoubtedly among the most top-tier treasures currently available.

"Alright, let's leave it to the Su family girls and let them decide for themselves. It just so happens that our Great Xia has never obtained a foreign corpse of this level before, so let's study it first."

"By the way, Lao Xia, this body was donated by Lin Yan voluntarily. We can't let the child's kindness go to waste."

"Haha, of course! Ah Yan, what kind of cultivation technique do you want?"

Old Xia laughed heartily, clearly having already grasped the deeper meaning in Li Cang's words, and his gaze naturally fell on Lin Yan.

"A technique for escape, and a method for tempering the physical body."

Lin Yan clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and began to state his needs.

"Sure, someone will deliver it to you shortly."

Elder Xia did not inquire about the level of the cultivation technique, nor was there any need to. At their level, they all knew that what Lin Yan would actively seek out would not be an ordinary cultivation technique that was readily available and open to public scrutiny.

The truly top-tier inheritances all contain the will and insights of predecessors, engraved in special cultivation jade slips. Each insight is equivalent to listening to a great master preach, allowing cultivators to enter the path more quickly.

Less than an hour after the meeting ended, the once quiet canyon became lively as groups of martial artists and researchers entered, carrying large quantities of supplies, not only to create a restricted area, but also to move their laboratories there!

The person in charge was someone Lin Yan recognized very well—

Su Wanjun!

Lin Yan's mother!

"Elder Li, you can hand over that sixth-tier alien corpse to us now."

Su Wanjun acted as if she didn't see Lin Yan and went straight to Li Cang, followed by several colleagues pushing special equipment.

Without hesitation, Li Cang took out Xue Luo's corpse, placed it in the device, and let them take it away.

Then, Su Wanjun approached Lin Yan, took out a palm-sized iron box from her bosom, and slowly said, "These are the two cultivation techniques you requested."

"Mom, why did you bring this to me?"

This was the first time Lin Yan had seen Su Wanjun like this. Her father had kept it well hidden, and her mother had kept it even better!
