If Xuan Ye had discovered it earlier, he could have not only destroyed the formation directly, but the evil entity within it would not have been able to form.

But since it has already happened and the outcome is set in stone, there's no point in saying too much.

Shen Sanruo and the others comforted the dejected Xuan Ye, saying that fate was playing tricks on them.

"No, I have to go find that evil thing right now." Xuan Ye wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and quickly composed himself.

He clenched his fists angrily, "He's been playing me for so long, and he still wants to destroy the cultivation world. I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

Just then, several people from the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits suddenly appeared in the distance, explaining the situation to True Lord Gu Ci with tense expressions.

"It's terrible, True Lord Gu Ci! That evil creature has attacked the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits, breached our defenses, and stolen the system."

Shen Sanruo and the others naturally heard this and turned around to look into the distance.

Xuan Ye knew there was something important to discuss. Although he was still a little afraid of so many people, he simply curled up into a turtle.

He was held in Qing Shu's hand and did not resist walking towards the group of people in the distance.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Sangruo and the others immediately joined up with the Ninghua Sect members and the Wanling Palace members.

"All the guards responsible for protecting the system were killed by that evil creature. Afterwards, the evil creature took the system and fled to an unknown place. Our people can't catch up with it at all," the messenger said with great distress.

No one expected that the evil entity's target would be the system.

Previously, the actions of the evil cultivators were basically unrelated to the system, so they did not focus their attention on the system.

Given the system's extremely strong defenses, making it impossible to decipher its contents, they were still unclear about the system's function.

The evil artifact, which the evil cultivator had spent ten thousand years consuming, went straight to the system the moment it left, taking it with it, which shows its importance.

The cultivation world, already in a passive position, now seems to be in an even more passive position.

"Understood." Gu Ci Zhenjun clenched his fists tightly. "Give those people a proper burial, continue searching for the whereabouts of the evil creature, and make sure it doesn't discover you. Try to avoid fighting it."

The members of the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits had lived together for at least several hundred years. How could the others not feel pain when someone lost their life?

"Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, that evil creature killed them so easily?" Song Weiyan's expression was one of utter shock.

Immortal Lord Changli and the others also looked grim; the evil creature was far more powerful than they had anticipated.

But this wasn't the only problem they found challenging.

"This is bad. I wonder what those evil cultivators will do with the system," Fang Yu said.

Su Xiyu sighed softly, "We haven't even found the evil cultivator's lair yet, and now we have to find another evil entity."

“What we need to find is the lair of the evil cultivators.” Shen Sangruo pondered. “Those evil beings will continue to come out and do evil; we don’t need to search for them.”

The evil cultivators refused to show themselves, fearing they might expose something, in order to complete their remaining plans.

But evil things are different. They may have been created by evil cultivators themselves, so that they could use them in the cultivation world because they were unable to move freely.

Stealing the system was just the first thing the evil entity did; it was clear that it wouldn't stop there.

"Qing Shu and Xuan Ye should go find the whereabouts of that evil creature first. The others don't need to focus all their energy on finding it. The more important thing is to strengthen defenses," she said, explaining her thoughts.

Even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage could be easily killed by that evil creature; anyone else who found it would simply be "delivering their own heads."

It would be safer to send Qing Shu and Xuan Ye, who are among the five divine beasts, to find the evil creature, as only they have the power to fight it.

Qing Shu nodded, agreeing to her suggestion. Xuan Ye also shook the outer shell slightly, indicating his agreement.

"Then we'll take our leave first." With that, Qing Shu led Xuan Ye away from everyone's sight.

The fact that two of the Five Divine Beasts were mobilized for a single evil creature already shows them the utmost respect.

We still don't know what tricks the evil cultivator and that evil thing are playing. If we can find the system again, that would be the best outcome.

If not, her eyes flashed, and she could only react to whatever came her way.

Qi Yan naturally wanted to go and find the whereabouts of that evil creature, but the last part of the demonic influence on his body had not yet been cleared.

If Shen Sang encounters danger within the barrier, their contract will have to be dissolved, and the cleanup process will be forced to stop.

We need to re-establish the bond for a period of time.

After discussing everything, True Lord Gu Ci immediately notified the entire cultivation world to enter a state of alert. Those with the ability could go to find the whereabouts of the evil creature, while the rest should take precautions against it.

The joy of breaking all the formations hadn't lasted long before a layer of dark clouds known as evil spirits once again covered the entire cultivation world.

On the bright side, at least the evil cultivators can no longer steal the spiritual energy of the cultivation world, and the gap in strength between them and the evil cultivators will not widen further.

Subsequently, Shen Sangruo and the others from Ninghua Sect also set off to return to Ninghua Sect.

After she renews her bond with Qiyan, she finally has time to recover from her injuries.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, constantly pondering the possible uses of the system, his tightly furrowed brow remained furrowed.

Why did that group of evil cultivators steal the system?

He recalled every detail of how Bai Mumu used the system when she was still alive.

A month passed just like that, and the evil creature did not reappear in the cultivation world to do evil as she had expected.

As if they had vanished into thin air, neither Qing Shu nor Xuan Ye found any trace of them.

As a result, the tense atmosphere in the cultivation world has dissipated considerably.

Shen Sanruo couldn't understand the intentions of those evil cultivators even more. As the saying goes, when evil things are quiet, they must be up to no good.

The longer the quiet period lasts, the bigger the mischief they will cause.

Fortunately, there was also some good news for her.

Having spent over a year in the Luo Nanchuan Formation, her cultivation had reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.

He is only one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Although they were already aware of her cultivation speed, Changli Immortal Lord and Ye Huai were still surprised when she told them that she was about to break through.

The most shocked person was Shi Zhili, who exclaimed, "This is too fast!"

After all, he hadn't witnessed her terrifying breakthrough speed, but then he thought, she is Shen Sangruo, so he wasn't surprised.

She fell into the same state as Ye Huai and the others, thinking, "As expected of her."

"I plan to go into seclusion for the next period of time." This was a decision she made after careful consideration.

It's uncertain when the evil entity will appear to cause trouble, so the best approach right now is to seize every minute and second to make a breakthrough.

"Just focus on your breakthrough. If anything happens to the evil creatures, we'll take care of it." Immortal Lord Changli said seriously, his aura sharp.

The others nodded in agreement.

"I will break through the tribulation as soon as possible," she said to everyone.
