Marriage Thread!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly!
This was a trap!
Just as Ye Xuan was about to refuse, the Great Dao Pen Master turned and vanished.
Gone!
Ye Xuan’s face turned completely black. He closed his eyes slowly, trying to sense it within himself, but felt nothing!
At that moment, the Great Dao Pen spoke, “This is a karmic thread, not inside your body but woven into your life’s path. With your current strength, you can’t sever it!”
Karmic thread!
Ye Xuan looked at White-Dress Qing’er, who smiled, “It can’t be cut!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Why not?”
Qing’er said, “It would harm another person!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Why?”
The Great Dao Pen explained, “This is a two-way karmic thread. If you forcibly cut it, the other person will be hurt! Their life’s path could change drastically!”
Ye Xuan said grimly, “Damn it!”
The Great Dao Pen said, “Actually, it doesn’t affect you at all. You’ve got so many wives already, what’s one more?”
Ye Xuan’s face was full of dark lines, “If you can’t speak properly, take a cue from Little Tower and shut up!”
The Great Dao Pen hesitated, then said, “I was speaking just fine, what’s the rush?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, Her Highness Qi suddenly said, “Young Master Ye, congratulations!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “For what?”
Her Highness Qi looked at him, “You’re not only the founder of a new order but also the manager of the old order. Both orders converge in you. Who can compare?”
Ye Xuan smiled, then looked at the Dao Seal in his hand, “Your Highness Qi, I have a hunch!”
Her Highness Qi looked at him, “What hunch?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “The Great Dao Pen Master doesn’t care about the Dao Sect, nor does he value it!”
Her Highness Qi fell silent!
Hadn’t she felt the same?
If the Great Dao Pen Master truly cared about the Dao Sect, would he let it rot like this?
With his power, he couldn’t be unaware of the Dao Sect’s corruption!
Yet he did nothing, letting it fester!
That’s not normal!
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed, “Regardless, the Dao Sect is now under my control!”
Her Highness Qi looked at him, “You want to use the Dao Sect to balance the Guanxuan Academy!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “No single power should dominate. If the Guanxuan Academy grows unchecked, it’ll become dangerously bloated. The Dao Sect needs to exist as a counterbalance! Besides, not everyone in the Dao Sect is bad; there are many good people!”
Her Highness Qi said gravely, “But isn’t that still one family?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “I’ll have a son to manage the Guanxuan Academy, then a daughter to manage the Dao Sect, haha!”
Her Highness Qi: “…”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “Your Highness Qi, summon everyone in the Dao Sect!”
Her Highness Qi nodded slightly and turned to leave!
Ye Xuan turned to Qing’er, “After I handle things here, we’ll go!”
Qing’er nodded, “Alright!”
Dao Sect.
Soon, all the Dao Sect’s powerhouses gathered.
By now, everyone knew that the woman, Her Highness Qi, was the Dao Sect’s master, and this man was above even the Dao Master!
In short, the Great Dao Pen Master’s spokesperson!
In the hall, Ye Xuan glanced at the crowd, then said, “The Great Dao Pen Master originally planned to wipe you all out!”
The crowd was shocked!
Ye Xuan smiled, “Because the Dao Sect is rotten to the core! Only by tearing it all down and rebuilding can there be renewal! But I, with my compassionate nature, persuaded him, and he finally agreed not to eliminate you for now!”
The crowd looked at Ye Xuan, silent.
Ye Xuan continued, “From today, everyone must follow the Dao Sect’s order and laws. Violators will be executed!”
With that, he spread his palm, and a thick ancient book floated to Her Highness Qi, “This is the Guanxuan Law!”
Her Highness Qi hesitated.
Ye Xuan said, “Combine the Guanxuan Law with the Dao Law, but prioritize the Guanxuan Law!”
Her Highness Qi looked at Ye Xuan, silent.
The Guanxuan Law entering the Dao Sect clearly meant Ye Xuan was set to take it over!
In the future, the Dao Sect might still be called the Dao Sect, but it would follow Ye Xuan’s laws and order!
He was turning the tables!
Ye Xuan smiled, “Miss Qi, in my impression, you’re quite clever!”
He reminded her, “When he handed the Dao Sect to me, didn’t you understand his intent?”
Her Highness Qi’s pupils shrank, and she suddenly realized!
Right!
Didn’t the Great Dao Pen Master know Ye Xuan’s character?
Yet he gave Ye Xuan control of the Dao Sect, essentially endorsing Ye Xuan’s new order to replace the old one!
A peaceful transition!
Her Highness Qi gave Ye Xuan a deep look, saying softly, “I understand!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Whether it’s the Guanxuan Academy or the Dao Sect, the goal is for the vast universe. I’m letting the Dao Sect exist to prevent the Academy from becoming too dominant without competition or checks.”
Her Highness Qi said gravely, “Aren’t you afraid the Dao Sect and Academy will become mortal enemies? That’s very likely!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Would I let outsiders control the Dao Sect or the Academy?”
Her Highness Qi gave a bitter smile.
The lower ranks might clash or compete, but the higher-ups would never fall out!
Because they’re family!
And as long as Ye Xuan lives, the leadership of both sides will always be harmonious!
Just like Ye Xuan and Yang Nianxue now!
How could the siblings dare to fight each other?
At least, neither would dare start trouble!
Ye Xuan added, “The Dao Sect has serious issues and needs strict governance! Miss Qi, don’t go easy!”
Her Highness Qi nodded, “I understand!”
Ye Xuan continued, “Also, I’ll have the Guanxuan Academy enter the Left Realm, letting both forces coexist and compete. Survival of the fittest!”
Her Highness Qi sighed inwardly!
Though Ye Xuan wanted the Dao Sect and Guanxuan Academy to coexist, the Dao Sect would likely be outdone and possibly eliminated in the future!
But there was no other way!
As Ye Xuan said, survival of the fittest!
The Dao Sect’s order was outdated!
Ye Xuan’s approach was simply avoiding a violent purge of the old order.
In truth, this was the deal he struck with the Great Dao Pen Master.
Even the Great Dao Pen Master couldn’t stop Ye Xuan’s new order!
He had two choices: first, fight Ye Xuan head-on. But thinking of those behind Ye Xuan, even the Great Dao Pen Master felt a chill!
The world could exist without the Dao Sect, but without Ye Xuan, would it still matter?
Fighting wasn’t an option!
Thus, the Great Dao Pen Master could only choose to let Ye Xuan establish the new order peacefully!
The best outcome!
Otherwise, Ye Xuan would wipe out a Dao Sect wherever he went!
Realizing this, Her Highness Qi nodded slightly, “I understand! Rest assured, I’ll handle everything!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I trust you!”
With that, he walked out of the hall.
After Ye Xuan left, Her Highness Qi glanced at the Dao Sect members and said, “Embrace the new era!”
…
Outside the hall, Ye Xuan and Qing’er walked slowly into the distance!
Ye Xuan said softly, “I didn’t expect him to actually hand the Dao Sect to me!”
White-Dress Qing’er said, “The greater the power, the greater the responsibility! Your every word and action now affects countless lives!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Indeed, he felt the weight of responsibility growing!
Qing’er smiled, “Your order will surely be followed across the universe. By merging your order with your swordsmanship, your future sword path could reach their level.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Maybe!”
Qing’er added, “I’ll take you to a place to train your soul sword technique!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Great!”
With that, the siblings vanished at the horizon’s end.
…
After an unknown time, Qing’er brought Ye Xuan to a silent starry sky, where an ancient black palace stood.
Ye Xuan looked at Qing’er, who smiled, “Soul Palace! An ancient sect. I stayed here for a while. Their soul-nurturing techniques are excellent.”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Good!”
As the siblings reached the Soul Palace, a tall, elegant woman in black emerged, her face carrying a calm smile.
Seeing Qing’er, the woman in black smiled, “Little Qing!”
Qing’er smiled, “Nian Ya!”
The woman in black laughed, “What wind blew you to my place today!”
Qing’er said, “Let me introduce, this is my brother!”
Brother!
Nian Ya was slightly stunned, then looked at Ye Xuan, “Brother?”
Qing’er nodded, “Yes!”
Nian Ya sized up Ye Xuan, then smiled, “Quite the looker!”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, “Greetings, miss!”
Qing’er smiled, “Brother, she’s my friend. This time, you can train soul-nurturing techniques with her. She has unique insights into the soul path, perfect for you now!”
Ye Xuan looked at Nian Ya, smiling slightly, “Thank you, miss!”
Nian Ya laughed, “You’re Little Qing’s brother, so you’re family. No need to be so formal! Come with me!”
With that, she led the siblings toward the Soul Palace.
Entering the Soul Palace, Ye Xuan noticed the place felt eerie, with no one around!
But inside the main hall, he saw countless teleportation arrays, large and small, numbering over ten thousand!
Ye Xuan’s eyes were full of surprise!
Nian Ya smiled, “These arrays lead to various soul realms. This is the headquarters of the Soul Hall!”
Ye Xuan was curious, “Soul Hall?”
Nian Ya smiled, “An ancient sect. It’s normal you haven’t heard of it!”
She stepped into a teleportation array, then said, “Come, I’ll take you to a special place where your soul can improve the most!”
Qing’er smiled, “Won’t this trouble you?”
Nian Ya rolled her eyes at Qing’er, “Trouble? Don’t say such distant words!”
Qing’er smiled, then led Ye Xuan into the array. The next moment, the three vanished.
…
Inside the teleportation array, Nian Ya glanced at Ye Xuan, then sent a mystic voice to Qing’er, “Little Qing, your brother is a chosen one, isn’t he!”
Qing’er smiled, “Yes!”
Nian Ya smiled faintly, “He’s quite handsome. Need a sister-in-law? I’ll volunteer, hehe…”
