met free Chapter 1879 His cultivation level will probably decline.

Ye Yan braced himself, clenched his fists, and looked warily toward the source of the sound.
The rock face was as smooth as a mirror, not naturally formed, but rather as if it had been polished by human hands.
The knocking sound came from there.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yan picked up a piece of gravel and, following the rhythm he had just heard, gently tapped it three times on the rock wall in response.
The knocking paused for a moment, and then the smooth rock wall rippled like water, slowly opening inward to reveal a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through!
A soft and steady white light emanated from the crevice, standing out starkly against the dark and chaotic environment of the Chaotic Sky Sea.
An aged, peaceful voice, yet tinged with an indescribable weariness, came from the crack:
"Fellow Daoist outside... are you... from the Spirit Realm?"
Ye Yan's pupils shrank sharply. This was the accent of the Spirit Realm, and what's more, the other party had actually figured out his origins in one breath!
How could there be a cultivator from the Spirit Realm hidden deep within this chaotic void sea?! And even more so, hiding in a place like this?!
Ye Yan's heart jumped into his throat.
He glanced at the corpse of Tuonan on the ground, then at the crevice emitting white light, gritted his teeth, and dragged his heavy body step by step toward the unknown crevice...
Lingyu, Wanchuan Sect.
Mingchuan stood before the now-stabilized Observatory, his face as calm as still water.
On the mirror, the monitoring map after the activation of the Western Regions Heavenly Net Contingency Plan is clearly displayed.
The abnormal energy fluctuations representing the Black Wind Ridge area have subsided, and a large number of Wan Chuan Sect and Qing Feng Yu Men cultivators are conducting a comprehensive search of that area.
"Mingchuan, Jizhou reports: Multiple battle traces have been discovered in the Black Wind Ridge area, confirming a clash between Nascent Soul level forces. Some of the belongings and battle remnants of the Hidden Edge Squad leader, Cang Jun, have also been found."
"Yue Wuhen and his entourage have disappeared, and it is suspected that they left the Blackwind Ridge area through some secret path, heading towards Rock Iron City."
Jinman quickly reported, her charming face tinged with a chilling expression, "In addition, the Ironclad City has reported that panic within the city is escalating. The three involved chambers of commerce have been taken into custody and are being interrogated rigorously. The ley line's turbid energy point has been discovered and sealed, but the person who set up the formation has already left."
Mingchuan nodded, but his gaze was directed to the other side of the mirror, at the vast area that represented the buffer zone between the Western Regions and the Fallen Star Wasteland.
Where did Yue Wuhen disappear to? And what about Yue Yao?
Would she really only send Yi Yue Wuhen to stir up trouble?
“Yueyao herself must still be in the Spirit Realm,” Mingchuan said with certainty.
"Given her personality, she won't be satisfied until she witnesses chaos and suffering firsthand. Yue Wuhen is merely a pawn she's using to mislead us; her true form is likely lurking somewhere we wouldn't expect, waiting for the chance to strike decisively."
He turned around and looked at Leng hope, Ran Qianqian, Dong Chuyan beside him, as well as A Xiong, Meng Dalang and others who had just arrived.
"We can't let her lead us by the nose."
"Issue the order: In the name of the five major sects—Wanchuan Sect, Qingfeng Yumen, Zixiao Jingyuan, Xuantian Sect, and Butian Shengjiao—a joint order to secure the region is hereby issued!"
"Announcement to the entire Spirit Realm: Fairy Yueyao of Longyin Temple and her cronies have violated morality by infiltrating the Spirit Realm, spreading rumors, creating chaos, and attacking cultivators. Their actions deserve to be punished!"
"All cultivators in the Spirit Realm have the responsibility to defend their land and resist enemies! From this day forward, the Spirit Realm Patrol Guard will be established, composed of elites jointly dispatched by the five major sects, to be sent to various regions to eliminate lurking spies, stabilize the people's hearts, and protect the local area!"
"At the same time, the five major sects will open up the exchange rights for some low- and mid-level cultivation techniques and pills, which will be supplied to all independent cultivators and small and medium-sized forces participating in the Anyu Operation at cost price."
"A merit list for exterminating evil will be established. Anyone who provides valid clues, participates in the extermination, or maintains local stability will be rewarded with spirit stones, cultivation techniques, pills, or even the opportunity to audit classes in the Hall of Talents, based on their contribution!"
Each order, imbued with righteous indignation and tangible benefits, aimed to unite all forces that could be united, transforming the panic and chaos that Yueyao was trying to create into an opportunity to enhance cohesion within the Spirit Realm!
"Ming-ge, that's a brilliant move!" Ah Xiong clapped his hands. "Turning a bad thing into a good thing! Let's see what that crazy woman can do next!"
Meng Dalang nodded in agreement: "When interests are aligned, people's hearts will naturally be at peace. What independent cultivators and small sects lack most are resources and upward mobility. If we provide them, they will definitely fight tooth and nail."
The three women, Leng Xi and Leng hope, also showed a look of agreement in their eyes.
Kingman quickly jotted down the order, ready to relay it.
Mingchuan shook his head slightly: "This is only the first step, a temporary solution. Yueyao will not stop because of this; she will only become more secretive and ruthless. Our real opponent is her, and the Star Gate plot that may exist behind her."
He gazed into the depths of the Observatory, at the blurry area representing the Chaotic Sea, still oscillating violently, his eyes filled with deep worry.
"Senior Lingxu, Master, Green-Faced Fox, Crimson Flame Fox... you must all return safely..."
……
Chaotic Sky Sea, Ancient Immortal Relics Stone Chamber.
The Blue-Faced Fox awoke from her brief meditation, her face still pale, but a glimmer of life appeared in her eyes, and her spiritual power had recovered somewhat. She immediately checked on the Crimson Flame Fox's condition.
Lingxu Zhenren was slowly finishing his practice, and the faint protective shield formed by the power of moonlight faded from the Crimson Flame Fox's body.
The Crimson Fox's breathing became much more stable. Although it was still unconscious, the feeling of being on the verge of death had subsided.
The violent supernatural power within him was temporarily suppressed, and a fragile balance was formed by the life force of the Green-Faced Fox and the moonlight power of the Spirit Void True Man.
"It's temporarily stabilized." Master Lingxu's voice was hoarse, revealing deep exhaustion.
"But his primordial fire seed is too badly damaged. We need to find a way to return to the Spirit Realm as soon as possible and have Mingchuan use the Burning Heaven Ancient Jade to nourish the Crimson Flame Fox's body. Otherwise, his cultivation level will probably drop rapidly."
The Blue-Faced Fox sighed, "But our current situation... is difficult. We still can't find Ye Yan, so we can't just leave like this."
After she said this, Master Lingxu fell silent for a moment.
After a long while, the blue-faced fox finally looked around at its surroundings.
"Senior, besides the warning, are there any other discoveries in this Observatory ruins? Perhaps... our ancestors left something here? Let's see if we can find anything to help the Crimson Flame Fox."
Master Lingxu mustered his strength and carefully examined the stone chamber once more.
Apart from the warning markings, the stone chamber was almost empty.
He walked to the pile of weathered ashes in the corner and gently brushed it with the power of moonlight.
The ashes scattered, revealing the hard rocky ground below.
The ground was not completely flat. In the center there seemed to be a very shallow circular indentation about three feet in diameter. At the edge of the indentation, several finer lines consistent with the style of ancient immortal script on the wall could be faintly seen.
“This looks like the base of a small formation.” Master Lingxu squatted down and carefully examined the lines.
Most of the lines are broken and blurred, making it difficult to form a complete array.
However, he was still able to identify a few familiar ancient runes that represented basic functions such as gathering, stabilizing, and guiding.
"This base... doesn't seem to be for attack or defense." The blue-faced fox also leaned closer to observe. "It seems more like... a device to fix or project some kind of observation result?"
