Chapter 394: Chapter 389: There is a problem (Happy New Year and seeking monthly ticket support)

When Ye Zhen and Caiyi returned to the Qiyun Sect in the shortest amount of time under the escort of Sect Leader Guo Qijing and Liao Feibai, Sect Leader Guo Qijing issued one of the most stringent imperial decrees in the history of the Qiyun Sect!

All members of the Qiyun Sect, except for the Sect Elders guarding the Spirit Mine, must immediately drop what they are doing and return to the Sect.

Those who fail to return within ten days of receiving the imperial decree will be assigned as Foreign Affairs Disciples immediately.

After returning to the Sect, no one is allowed to leave the Qiyun Sect’s Mountain Gate by even half a step, and anyone who dares to leave will be immediately expelled from the Sect!

After ten days, the Sect will be sealed off for half a year, during which no one may enter or leave the Qiyun Sect.

This decree, which dealt with disciples irrespective of circumstances, immediately sent the disciples of the Qiyun Sect scattering in panic, exhausting countless steeds.

Within the entire Qiyun Sect, the atmosphere became somewhat tense, of course, this was only the reaction of those disciples who were unaware of the reasons behind the decree.

The elder disciples who knew the reasons were all smiles, wishing they could bring their families and relatives into the Qiyun Sect’s Mountain Gate.

The fundamental reason behind Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s decree was actually the return of people like Ye Zhen and Caiyi to the Sect.

The concept of Luck Power from the Black Dragon Ancient Land has a profound influence within the Black Dragon Domain.

According to ancient records, every Martial Artist who makes it onto the Black Dragon Ranking can receive a varying amount of Luck Power from the Dragon Spirit, related to their ranking.

However, this Luck Power requires gradual and subtle integration to slowly become a part of the Martial Artist, a process that normally takes half a year to complete under normal circumstances.

Moreover, the influence of this Luck Power is not limited to the individual Martial Artist, but it affects the environment on a larger scale.

For example, if Ye Zhen, the first place holder on the Black Dragon Ranking, stayed in one place for this half-year period, he would subtly influence the Luck Energy of that place.

Of course, this is not Ye Zhen’s ability, but the effect of the Luck Power bestowed by the Dragon Spirit on the first place holder of the Black Dragon Ranking.

Now that Ye Zhen is staying within the Qiyun Sect, the Luck Power bestowed by the Dragon Spirit will not only integrate into Ye Zhen himself but will also gradually merge into the entire fortune of the Qiyun Sect, slowly strengthening its destiny.

Furthermore, this strengthening has a range; for example, now that Ye Zhen is stationed in the Qiyun Sect, the Luck Power bestowed by the Dragon Spirit may influence all the Martial Artists within the territory of the Qiyun Sect.

At the same time, as the overall fortunes of the Qiyun Sect strengthen, the overall destiny of the Sect’s disciples will also be enhanced.

For most ordinary Martial Artists, even a slight increase in Luck Power is extremely precious.

To exaggerate a bit, if the overall destiny of the Qiyun Sect is enhanced, it could even affect the national fortune of the Black Water Kingdom.

In such circumstances, it is no wonder that Sect Leader Guo Qijing would issue such a strict decree.

Moreover, this time, Ye Zhen and Caiyi from the Qiyun Sect have taken both first and second places on the Black Dragon Ranking, an achievement even the Phantom Divine Sect, the number one Sect of the Black Dragon Domain, has never had.

Moreover, Wu Mingda and Mei Yuanju also achieved commendable rankings. Now that the four of them have gathered in the Qiyun Sect, the enhancement to the collective Luck Power is incredibly astonishing.

Of course, such a bolstering of the overall Luck Power doesn’t require Ye Zhen and Caiyi to do anything special; according to Sect Leader Guo Qijing, Ye Zhen and Caiyi can do whatever they want as long as they do not leave the Qiyun Sect.

Naturally, Ye Zhen and Caiyi would reside on Fairy Peak.

But in just one day, the surrounding peaks near Immortal Mountain Peak became crowded with over a hundred fellow sect member brothers and sisters meditating and cultivating, and even many elders.

These were individuals who were well-informed or had the support of their elders.

According to Guo Qijing, Ye Zhen and Caiyi are now like an elixir exuding immortal energy – the closer one is to them, the more immortal energy they will receive.

Truth be told, if it wasn’t for the Sect Leader’s prior order that no one should disturb the four disciples who had made it onto the Black Dragon Ranking, there would probably be a crowd trying to ascend Fairy Peak.

Of course, Ye Zhen didn’t stay on Fairy Peak all day; every few days he would visit Chaotic Cloud Peak to drink with Golden Yuanbao, Sha Fei, Han Shi, and others.

Most importantly, whenever Ye Zhen went drinking with Golden Yuanbao and the rest, it would be for the whole day, and he was always sure to get drunk, ensuring he spent the night at Golden Yuanbao’s residence, sleeping off the effects.

All of this, seen by Sect Leader Guo Qijing and several elders, only made them smile wryly.

They all knew that with Ye Zhen’s current cultivation, aside from those rare and exceptional Spirit Wines, how could ordinary strong liquor get him drunk?

It wouldn’t even make him tipsy!

Therefore, the sole purpose of Ye Zhen’s actions was clear to see.

And of course, nobody interfered, after all, Ye Zhen was still within the Qiyun Sect.

For Ye Zhen, all the disciples of the Qiyun Sect were his sect brothers, but there were still degrees of closeness between them.

Although the power of Luck is ethereal, if given the choice, Ye Zhen would rather that his brothers benefit more and gain more from it.

That’s as much as Ye Zhen could do for his brothers.

And that was all he could do.

This is what brotherhood is about.

If I were to help any more, I’m afraid the flavor of brotherhood might change.

Ye Zhen, Caiyi, Wu Mingda, and Mei Yuanju have all made it onto the Black Dragon Ranking this time, and the rewards from the Qiyun Sect are absolutely not few—moreover, they’re astonishingly large.

Especially for Ye Zhen and Caiyi, the cultivation technique rewards within the sect seem to hold no appeal, so Sect Leader Guo Qijing turned all the rewards for Ye Zhen and Caiyi into cultivation resources.

Even the Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, always treated as strategic resources, were bestowed by Sect Leader Guo Qijing at five thousand pieces each, and the pills for cultivation use, like the Bone-tempering Pills currently used by Ye Zhen at the Spirit Transformation Second Stage, were supplied without limit.

Within this half a year, even if the supply of pills for other sect members were to stop, they would ensure Ye Zhen and Caiyi’s pill supply at all costs, striving to take Ye Zhen and Caiyi’s cultivation to the next level.

For the first time, Ye Zhen experienced the kind of treatment reserved for disciples from ancient noble families, taking pills until his mouth was tired, of course, his cultivation was also advancing by leaps and bounds.

Originally, Ye Zhen and Caiyi were living on Fairy Peak, cultivating at night and exchanging martial skills during the day, living the good days of tender affection, which if continued, would lead to further progress.

However, Liao Feibai became a huge third wheel between Ye Zhen and Caiyi, or rather, a super dazzling star, with Meng Xiaoyue adding to the light as a small lamp.

From the day Ye Zhen and Caiyi returned to the sect, Liao Feibai, along with Meng Xiaoyue, moved directly into Fairy Peak, and at night, he even cultivated in the same room as Caiyi.

Adhering to the principle of being as close to Ye Zhen and Caiyi as possible, to bask in as much radiance and absorb as much luck power as they could, Liao Feibai became Ye Zhen and Caiyi’s super sparring partner during the day, while Meng Xiaoyue turned into a tea-serving page.

This scene aroused some discontent among a few of the Qiyun Sect’s elders.

But their protests were to no avail!

Guo Qijing’s answer was just one sentence—If you’re capable, then move into Fairy Peak as well. As long as you have the ability to live in Fairy Peak, he Guo Qijing will not stop you.

As time passed, the news gradually spread, and it was said that even members of the Royal Family sought an audience with Guo Qijing, wishing to catch some of this luck.

In the end, the Royal Family brought a procession of several hundred people, and ninety-nine percent were sent away by Guo Qijing, leaving only the son favored by the Crown Prince, who was permitted into the Qiyun Sect to have a share of the luck power.

The so-called luck power bestowed by the Dragon Spirit, Ye Zhen had barely witnessed it—the Dragon Form Phantom that merged into his body.

But Ye Zhen didn’t originally believe that such ephemeral luck power could affect the entire luck of the Qiyun Sect and the fate of tens of thousands of disciples.

However, as time went on, a series of events within the Qiyun Sect forced Ye Zhen to believe that this seemingly illusory power of luck not only truly existed but also had a huge influence.

On the evening of the third day after Ye Zhen and Caiyi returned to the sect, a deacon, who had been stuck at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm Fifth Stage for over a decade and had not broken through, unexpectedly reached the Soul Sea Realm and became an elder of the Soul Sea, adding another strong combatant to the Qiyun Sect.

Originally, according to Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s judgment, this deacon was never going to break through to the Soul Sea Realm in his lifetime.

Of course, it could just be luck, pie falling from the sky.

On the evening of the fifth day, Han Shi, who had been stagnant and was projected to take another two years to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, unexpectedly made a breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm, and the Qiyun Sect gained another True Disciple.

The day before Han Shi’s breakthrough, that is, on the fourth day starting from noontime, Ye Zhen had been drinking with them, and they all slept in the same room, drunk that night.

On the evening of the fifth day, Han Shi made his breakthrough!

Breaking the bottleneck at the same time as Han Shi was Sha Fei, who also became an Inner Sect Disciple on that day.

On the ninth day, an Old Steward of the Qiyun Sect, who was over a hundred years old and had always guarded the Scripture Storage Tower, unexpectedly broke through from the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm to the Soul Sea Realm that night, and celestial phenomena appeared.

On the fifteenth day, a Talisman Communication from the Eighth Elder, who had been guarding the Spirit Crystal Vein in the mountains, shocked Sect Leader Guo Qijing so much he almost jumped up.

In the largest vein of Low Grade Spirit Crystals owned by the sect, a small branch of Mid-grade Spirit Crystals was unearthed, with an estimated reserve of over 500,000 pieces.

On the twenty-eighth day, an old steward and Gao Xinglie, who was at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm, broke through to the Soul Sea Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm respectively. The number of Sect Elders and True Disciples of the sect increased once again.

On the thirty-seventh day, celestial phenomena suddenly appeared on Qitian Peak, the Main Peak where the Sect Leader resided, with a radiant light shooting into the sky and lasting a full hour, leaving everyone clueless about what had happened.

However, in the following days, Sect Leader Guo Qijing was always beaming with a smile.

On the forty-seventh day, Changsun Ran and Ren Xihua both broke through in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

In just a month and a half, the number of True Disciples and Soul Sea Realm Elders added to the Qiyun Sect exceeded the total of the past five years. These were just the changes among the core disciples of the sect.

As for the more than a hundred thousand servant disciples, Outer Disciples, and Inner Sect Disciples, countless breakthroughs were made in cultivation levels. Those who advanced from servant disciples to Outer Disciples, and from Outer Disciples to Inner Sect Disciples, were numerous beyond count.

In a month and a half, the strength of the Qiyun Sect almost exploded by three or four times.

Of course, over this month and a half, Ye Zhen’s cultivation was also advancing rapidly.

The progress in the Bone Transformation at the Second Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm was soaring, with over seventy percent of the bones in his body already tempered, and the breakthrough to the Third Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm was not far away.

But Ye Zhen’s face didn’t show much joy.

The reason? It’s simple, worry!

Why is Ye Zhen worried?

Because out of the four innate bloodlines Ye Zhen possesses, another one has encountered a problem! (To be continued.
