Chapter 26: The Soul Origin Transforms Once Again

Inside the Treasure Pavilion!

Ye Qingxuan felt Elder Yan's majestic and unshakable will and was momentarily stunned. He whispered in his heart

"Is this the Xuantian Sect?"

Throughout his journey, Ye Qingxuan had been walking with extreme caution within the Xuantian Sect, primarily because he felt a lack of security.

Even though he had joined a hegemon-level power like the Xuantian Sect and gained a powerful backing, he remained full of wariness toward this unknown sect, constantly thinking of ways to hide himself.

But at this moment, Ye Qingxuan felt an unprecedented sense of security brought by the sect. His body and mind slowly relaxed, and he began to plant roots in this land of the Xuantian Sect.

He would not change his future rules of conduct because of this, but he would no longer live cautiously within the Xuantian Sect like a stranger.

Perhaps Elder Yan had sensed the trepidation hidden beneath Ye Qingxuan's calm exterior, which was why he spoke those words to him?

After finishing his speech, Elder Yan noticed the change in Ye Qingxuan's aura. After nodding inwardly, he turned his gaze back to Wang Zidan and said sternly

"If anyone wishes to attempt to challenge the rules set by the sect, this Elder does not mind letting them experience the sect's strict penal laws.

Wang Zidan violated regulations by using the Treasure Pavilion to suppress Bai Wenyang and involved the pavilion's customers. Punishment: Wang Zidan is expelled from the Treasure Pavilion and shall never be employed again.

Furthermore, Wang Zidan used threatening language against a fellow sect disciple. Although no actual harm was caused, the influence was significant. Punishment: Wang Zidan is to be sent to the mines to work for three years."

As one of the hegemons of the Eastern Region, the Xuantian Sect had a heritage spanning millions of years.

Throughout the millions of years of floating in the Earth Profound Realm, the Xuantian Sect had witnessed the decline of countless sects.

The reason the Xuantian Sect could maintain an orderly succession for millions of years was naturally not based on pure martial force alone.

A large part of the reason was that the Xuantian Sect relied on the unity of everyone from the top to the bottom.

And the reason the Xuantian Sect could maintain such unity was its strict enforcement of sect rules.

The first rule of the sect was: Before the sect rules, everyone is treated equally!

From disciples in the Qi Refining Realm to elders in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, there was no concept of preferential treatment before the rules.

As for the Sect Master and the Supreme Elders in the Great Ascension Realm, they were the incarnations of the rules themselves. If they wished to ascend smoothly with an untainted state of mind, they naturally would not violate the rules they had acknowledged for a lifetime.

To violate the sect rules was to violate their Dao!

In the long river of time, anyone who dared to challenge the order of the Xuantian Sect had been turned to ash by the momentum of the sect.

Therefore, even if what happened today was a small matter, in Elder Yan's eyes, there were no small matters before the sect rules. Once violated, punishment must be administered; otherwise, how could the rules command respect?

"It's over!" Hearing his punishment, Wang Zizhou instantly slumped to the ground, muttering to himself.

Seeing this, Elder Yan did not soften his heart and spoke again

"Wang Zizhou, do you have any objections to my judgment?"

Hearing this, Wang Zizhou could only lower his head in dejection and accept his fate

"This disciple has no objections!"

Wasting three years was not much to Wang Zizhou.

But losing his job at the Treasure Pavilion caused him immense heartache. One had to know that the benefits and treatment for employees of the Treasure Pavilion were not low.

If he had known, he wouldn't have caused such trouble.

At this moment, no one paid attention to Wang Zizhou's inner regret. After a moment of contemplation, Elder Yan looked at Bai Wenyang

"Bai Wenyang, take your customer to the VIP room on the second floor!"

Since the private booths on the first floor were all occupied, he naturally would not take his anger out on the customer, so he could only have Bai Wenyang lead Ye Qingxuan to the second-floor VIP room.

After handling all of this, Elder Yan grabbed Wang Zizhou and instantly vanished from the Treasure Pavilion.

Seeing Elder Yan leave with Wang Zidan, Bai Wenyang breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he wasn't implicated. He then walked to Ye Qingxuan's side and said

"Junior Brother, let's go! Huh? Junior Brother, why are you dazing off?"

Seeing Ye Qingxuan standing there blankly, Bai Wenyang couldn't help but give him a nudge.

At the light nudge from Bai Wenyang, Ye Qingxuan instantly snapped out of it and gave a bright smile

"Hahaha, it's nothing, I was just thinking about something else!"

"As long as you're okay. Let's head to the second floor! I've delayed you quite a bit!"

"It's no matter!"

Thinking of the Elder Yan who had left such a deep impression on him, Ye Qingxuan spoke up again to ask

"By the way, who was that Elder Yan just now?"

Leading the way, Bai Wenyang replied with a voice full of envy and longing

"That man! He is the Law Enforcement Elder of our Xuantian Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, and also one of the administrators of this market. He is a powerhouse of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!"

As they spoke, the two walked toward the second floor.

Walking ahead, Bai Wenyang's heart was full of doubt. His junior brother seemed to have undergone a great change, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Behind him, Ye Qingxuan had a relaxed smile on his face, but his heart was filled with uncontrollable pleasant surprise.

At this moment, the speed at which the soul essence within his divine sense space was evolving suddenly accelerated significantly, as if a shackle had been broken.

Ever since Ye Qingxuan had realized his Dao heart when entering the Ye family genealogy, his soul essence had been mutating—or rather, evolving. Although the evolution had never stopped, the speed had never been fast.

But just now, after he had completely relaxed his tense mind, the evolution speed of his soul essence had instantly jumped to a new level, as if he had broken through a certain threshold.

The breakthrough of his soul essence made his thoughts and ideas more active and agile; he even had a different perception of the heaven and earth around him.

It felt as if, wherever he looked, the mysteries of heaven and earth had pulled back their mysterious veil and were fully revealed before his eyes.

This feeling was excellent!

After perceiving the changes in himself, Ye Qingxuan was naturally in a very good mood. Recalling what Elder Yan had said just now, he thought to himself

"This Xuantian Sect is not bad!"

When the two arrived at the VIP room on the second floor, Ye Qingxuan looked around and found that the decoration of the room was exceptionally exquisite.

After Ye Qingxuan and Bai Wenyang sat down, Bai Wenyang poured a cup of tea for both of them.

Picking up his tea, he inhaled the aroma with enchantment and said

"The tea in these second-floor VIP rooms is truly different, hahaha!"

Bai Wenyang rarely came to these VIP rooms, mainly because there were few VIP-level customers.

While everyone was equal before the rules, the existence of various hierarchies was itself permitted by the rules.

As a powerhouse, one would naturally have certain privileges within the Xuantian Sect; otherwise, why would everyone cultivate so diligently?

As long as these privileges were laid out in the open, bound by rules and subject to the rules, Ye Qingxuan could accept them.

What made people uneasy was the unknown.

Once something was laid out in the open, with rules suppressing everything from above, it wouldn't cause unease; instead, it would stimulate everyone's motivation to cultivate.

Bai Wenyang took a sip of tea before asking about the main purpose of Ye Qingxuan's visit

"Junior Brother Ye! How many Spirit Increasing Pills do you plan to sell? How about I, your Senior Brother, buy them at market price..."

"Not many, just a thousand!" Before Bai Wenyang could finish, Ye Qingxuan spoke up.

"Pfft!"

The tea Bai Wenyang had just swallowed was instantly sprayed out. He hurriedly wiped his mouth and asked urgently

"How many?"

"A thousand!" Looking at Bai Wenyang's embarrassed state, the corners of Ye Qingxuan's mouth curled up slightly.

"Spirit Increasing Pills?"

"Spirit Increasing Pills!"

After questioning him again and receiving Ye Qingxuan's confirmation, Bai Wenyang finally made sure he hadn't misheard!

Originally, he had intended to use his own funds to buy Ye Qingxuan's Spirit Increasing Pills at market price as compensation for him!

He never expected that Ye Qingxuan would have so many Spirit Increasing Pills?

But he didn't need them; if the quantity were small, he could buy them to give as gifts, but a thousand would be more trouble than it was worth.

Abandoning his original idea, Bai Wenyang looked Ye Qingxuan up and down and asked tentatively

"These Spirit Increasing Pills... they weren't all refined by you in just this one year, were they?"
