The meteor fell upon Li Ye's head.
The Spiritual Mechanism Vine compressed and reduced it in size, yet the bright halo inside, along with the countless Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants, remained visible.
That was Li Ye's Cave Mansion.
At this moment.
All the creatures were offering their spiritual power.
Led by the beavers.
They held the Treasure Lotus Lamps, expressions devout and longing.
The spiritual power thus gathered into a river, flowing at their feet, pouring into the increasingly radiant lamp, transforming into a beam reaching skyward to pierce through the array of the mansion.
This triggered the mansion's defense mechanism — without the owner's permission, doing so would consume their lifebound spirit source.
— This rule was originally devised to prevent outside cultivators and spirit beasts from colluding to damage a cultivator's dwelling, and even employed some extremely special prohibitions.
Even Su Xing couldn't interfere, and could only watch with wide eyes.
