Chapter 389: Sect Grand Competition

The phantom image of Elder Tianxu gazed at Li Mu, who was kneeling prostrate on the ground, without showing any emotion.

He simply spoke coldly:

"As an enforcer of our Justice Hall, you should understand."

"If not for your past merits and the fact that you caused no disastrous consequences this time, the punishment for you would have been far more severe."

Disciples of the Justice Hall of the Xuantian Sect enjoy the best treatment within the sect.

While upholding and enforcing sect rules, they are also bound by the strictest constraints of those same rules.

Once a disciple of the Justice Hall abuses power for personal gain or violates sect rules,

they are always dealt with severely.

If this time, Li Mu had merely proposed an enforcement suggestion that did not comply with sect rules,

and the specific judgment had not yet been executed,

several enforcers in the arena rose to their feet.

A hint of disapproval flashed in their eyes as they angrily said,

"Li Mu, as a Seven-Star Enforcer of the Justice Hall, you have disappointed me greatly."

Just as he was about to return to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven to begin a new round of secluded cultivation,

Ye Qingxuan stood up.

Inside the stone pavilion outside the Qingxuan Blessed Land,

he hurriedly left the main hall.

At this moment,

only Li Mu, who had been stripped of his position, remained.

After finishing the last cup of tea,

with a slight movement of his spiritual sense and after replying to the message,

Liu Ming, completely unconcerned, curled his lip, strode out boldly, and left the place.

What awaited him would be far more than simply being stripped of his position in the Justice Hall.

The disciple token hanging at his waist suddenly began to vibrate.

Finally, the phantom image of Elder Tianxu looked at Li Mu, who had remained kneeling and prostrate without rising.

After seeing the person who sent the message,

a streak of light appeared on the distant horizon, flashing at extreme speed as it fled toward Ye Qingxuan.

"Hmph, you few had better take care of yourselves."

He had no idea at all.

Because his ranking had stirred up a storm among the Third-Rank Blessed Cultivators.

Some, claiming it had nothing to do with them, simply left directly.

Having finished speaking, the phantom image of Elder Tianxu vanished without a trace.

After Elder Tianxu departed,

while speaking, he had already seated himself opposite Ye Qingxuan on his own.

This person strode into the stone pavilion and spoke casually:

With a wave of his hand, he put away the tea utensils on the stone table.

Ye Qingxuan stopped the step he was about to take.

He took out tea leaves and reignited the fire to brew tea again.

"Qingxuan, long time no see! Hahaha."

One person, looking utterly dejected and stumbling along, left the area where the Justice Hall was located.

After landing outside the stone pavilion and revealing his figure,

two of the Four-Star Enforcers did not even have time to glare at Liu Ming.

Ye Qingxuan was lying on a rocking chair, leisurely drinking tea.

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand and brought the tea utensils out again.

Ultimately, this led to a Seven-Star Enforcer of the Justice Hall being stripped of his position.

Ye Qingxuan, with a smile on his face, poured him a cup of tea.

Others, before leaving, glared fiercely at Liu Ming.

He extended his spiritual sense into the token at his waist to receive the message within it.

Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly, a look of joy appearing in his eyes.

Having finished speaking, Elder Tianxu swept his gaze over the other five enforcers in the arena and snorted coldly, saying:

Not long after the tea was freshly brewed,

he asked curiously:

"Were you not carrying out a garrison mission outside the sect with Xueqing, requiring you to guard a sect resource point for three hundred years before returning to the sect?"

"Only two hundred and some years have passed; how have you returned already?"

Indeed, the visitor was Ye Qingxiao, a good brother from the same clan as Ye Qingxuan.

Since their last parting,

Ye Qingxiao had left the sect with Yu Xueqing to carry out a garrison mission.

More than two hundred years had already passed.

Ye Qingxuan had originally thought Ye Qingxiao would need several more decades before returning to the sect.

He never expected Ye Qingxiao to return to the sect at this particular moment.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's question, Ye Qingxiao chuckled and said:

"Hehe, the sect has dispatched a Soul Transformation Elder to take over my and Xueqing's mission."

"I have returned this time to participate in the sect's grand tournament for direct disciples."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan immediately understood.

Within the Xuantian Sect.

If a direct disciple at the Soul Transformation realm fails to break through to the Void Penetration realm within three thousand years,

they will lose their status and treatment as a direct disciple and become a sect Elder.

Once they become an Elder, the number of mandatory missions they must execute will increase significantly.

Even if an Elder breaks through to the Void Penetration realm before their lifespan is exhausted,

they will lose the opportunity to become an Inherited Disciple and can only serve as a sect Elder.

Now, the war between the two realms is about to erupt.

The Xuantian Sect is preparing to heavily cultivate its disciples in preparation for the future war.

Sending Soul Transformation Elders from the sect to replace the direct disciples and bring them back to participate in the grand tournament

is indeed reasonable.

Previously, the sect's grand tournament had nothing to do with Ye Qingxuan, so he had not paid much attention to it.

Now that Ye Qingxiao has returned to participate in the grand tournament,

Ye Qingxuan began to feel curious about it and instinctively asked:

"When does the grand tournament begin, and what is the procedure?"

Facing Ye Qingxuan's question,

Ye Qingxiao awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

He quietly extended his spiritual sense into his token and carefully reviewed the information the sect had previously given him.

Sensing Ye Qingxiao's small action,

Ye Qingxuan looked at him with slight helplessness, then raised his teacup and took a sip of tea.

Feeling Ye Qingxuan's gaze, Ye Qingxiao cleared his throat, then sat up straight and said:

"The grand tournament will be held in three months."

"As for the procedure of the tournament..."

After Ye Qingxiao's explanation,

Ye Qingxuan formed a clear impression of the Xuantian Sect's grand tournament.

This grand tournament involves a huge number of disciples.

Any cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm or above who is still in the ranks of disciples must participate.

Disciples from the Foundation Establishment to the Golden Core realm will enter the secret realm in batches to hunt demonic beasts.

During the hunt, they cannot use any external aids that exceed their own cultivation base.

Their final ranking will be determined by the points earned from hunting demonic beasts.

Disciples at the Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation realms will enter the same demon domain.

Their ultimate goal is to destroy that demon domain world.

Their final ranking will be determined by the points earned from hunting the Green Demon Clan.

Within the demon domain, except for the prohibition on attacking each other,

disciples at the Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation realms may use any external aids they can obtain.

Even if you have the ability to acquire a celestial artifact and slaughter your way through the demon domain, the sect will recognize your achievements.

Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan understood very well.

Deep background and foundation are also a form of strength.

In the future, when the Green Demon Realm descends and the war between the two realms erupts in full force,

it will be impossible to create a fair environment during the battle with the Green Demon Clan.

Cultivators with deep backgrounds and foundations

have a much higher probability of surviving and growing in such a large-scale war.

It is undeniable that their chances are far greater than those of ordinary cultivators.

Finally,

there is the grand tournament for the Void Penetration Inherited Disciples of the sect.

Cultivators at the Void Penetration realm cannot enter the demon domain.

Therefore, the Inherited Disciples at the Void Penetration realm

will determine their final ranking through a series of one-on-one duels.

The tournament for Inherited Disciples actually has restrictions; they can only use external aids of the Seventh Tier level.

This is because the greatest backing for Void Penetration Inherited Disciples is the Xuantian Sect itself.

After this tournament concludes,

the Xuantian Sect will naturally distribute a large amount of heavenly treasures and external aids based on the final rankings.

This is to accelerate the growth of the Inherited Disciples and improve their ability to survive.

At that time, the gap in external aids between Inherited Disciples will be significantly narrowed.

Therefore, in the competition between Inherited Disciples,

the Xuantian Sect does not place much importance on whether they have external aids as a foundation.

What the Xuantian Sect values more is the combat power of the Inherited Disciples themselves.
