Xuantian Sect

Along the way, through observation, Ye Qingxuan learned quite a bit of information:

For instance, these Teleportation Arrays normally required enough people to be gathered before they could be activated.

Most of the time Ye Qingxuan, Ye Qingxiao, and Ye Yuhong spent afterward was wasted waiting for enough people to gather.

A Prefecture-level Teleportation Array required ten people, a Commandery-level Teleportation Array required a hundred, and a State-level Teleportation Array required a thousand.

If one did not wish to wait, one could also bear the cost of activating a Teleportation Array alone and teleport by oneself.

However, this time, they were merely sending Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao to the Xuantian Sect. It was not an urgent matter, so Ye Yuhong chose to wait.

According to the individual prices of the prefecture, commandery, and state-level Teleportation Arrays:

A Prefecture-level Teleportation Array cost Ten Low-grade Spirit Stones per person.

A Commandery-level Teleportation Array cost Hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones per person.

A State-level Teleportation Array cost ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones per person.

There was a hundredfold exchange gap between Mid-grade Spirit Stones and Low-grade Spirit Stones.

According to the information Ye Qingxuan had learned so far, the currency of the Dihuan Realm was divided into:

Spirit Stones: Low-grade Spirit Stones, Mid-grade Spirit Stones, High-grade Spirit Stones, and Top-grade Spirit Stones.

Spirit Crystals: Low-grade Spirit Crystals, Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, High-grade Spirit Crystals, and Top-grade Spirit Crystals.

For each grade of these two Energy Crystal currencies, the exchange gap was a hundredfold!

That was to say,

One Top-grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for a million Low-grade Spirit Stones.

One Top-grade Spirit Crystal could be exchanged for a million Low-grade Spirit Crystals.

And between Top-grade Spirit Stones and Low-grade Spirit Crystals, there was likewise a hundredfold exchange gap.

One Low-grade Spirit Crystal could be exchanged for a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones.

As for whether there were even higher-grade energy currencies above Spirit Crystals, Ye Qingxuan did not know, because the Ye Family's Library Pavilion contained no records of energy currencies above Spirit Crystals!

Along the way, the three of them passed through one Prefecture-level Teleportation Array, one Commandery-level Teleportation Array, and four State-level Teleportation Arrays!

By the time they arrived at the Xuantian Sect, the three of them had spent a total of nine thousand three hundred and thirty Low-grade Spirit Stones.

The reason they had spent only nine thousand three hundred and thirty Low-grade Spirit Stones was that the final Teleportation Array to Xuan Prefecture did not charge a fee.

When Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao, led by Patriarch Ye Yuhong,

passed through three Teleportation Arrays and arrived at Xing Prefecture, the closest state to Xuan Prefecture where the Xuantian Sect's Sect Stronghold was located,

Ye Qingxuan discovered that Xing Prefecture's Teleportation Array had not been shut down. Instead, it remained activated at all times, like a permanently open Teleportation Array.

And rather than waiting with the two of them as before, Ye Yuhong took out a token and showed it to the cultivator guarding the Teleportation Array. The three of them were then directly teleported through the array to Xuan Prefecture, where the Xuantian Sect was located.

The moment they teleported to Xuan Prefecture, Ye Qingxuan discovered that he was standing in a plaza built on a level patch atop a mountain peak within a mountain range.

At the same time, he felt Spiritual Energy a hundred times denser than that of the Ye Family's Cloud Mist Mountain.

And at the heart of the distant mountain range stood a Majestic Mountain that rose straight into the clouds!

"Who are you people?"

Not long after the three of them landed, two Young Cultivators came over and questioned them.

Having arrived on Xuantian Sect territory, Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao behaved very honestly. They did not ask questions left and right, lest they offend some taboo and bring trouble upon everyone.

Facing the cultivators before him, who looked extremely young, Ye Yuhong respectfully took out a token and handed it over as he said:

"I am the Patriarch of the Ye Family, an Affiliated Force of the sect. This time, I have brought Clan Disciples to join the sect!"

After examining the token Ye Yuhong had handed over, one of them returned it to him. His tone then eased somewhat as he said:

"Since that is the case, go in."

Thus, Ye Yuhong led Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao through layer upon layer of checkpoints toward the center of the mountain range.

Xuantian Sect!

One of the Eastern Domain's three hegemon-level forces, a pinnacle existence in the Dihuan Realm.

Its Sect Stronghold was the Xuantian Mountain Range of Xuan Prefecture.

The Xuantian Mountain Range stretched across several Great States and occupied 90 percent of Xuan Prefecture. It could be said that all of Xuan Prefecture was the Xuantian Sect's Sect Stronghold.

If spreading the Sect Protecting Grand Formation too widely had not weakened its effect, the Xuantian Sect could have entirely claimed the whole Xuantian Mountain Range as its Sect Stronghold.

It was precisely for this reason that the Xuantian Sect's core Sect Stronghold was limited to Xuan Prefecture alone.

But even so, the Xuantian Mountain Range had long been regarded by the Xuantian Sect as meat in its mouth, forbidden to others.

After the careful management of successive generations of the Xuantian Sect, mountains throughout the Xuantian Mountain Range had long been covered in Spirit Veins of all sizes.

Every year, quite a few First-grade Spirit Veins were even born under the influence of the dense Spiritual Energy within the Xuantian Mountain Range.

Outside, these First-grade Spirit Veins were rare and precious wealth, yet no one in the Xuantian Sect thought much of them.

The ultimate destination of these First-grade Spirit Veins was to become choices available to Reserve Blessed Cultivator Disciples like Ye Qingxuan within the Xuantian Sect.

Even in the regions beyond the coverage of the Xuantian Sect's Sect Protecting Grand Formation in the Xuantian Mountain Range, Xuantian Sect Cultivators were stationed there, either establishing Resource Points or opening Cave Mansions for deep cultivation!

Even without a Grand Array guarding these regions, no force dared make a move against Xuantian Sect Disciples.

After all, the Xuantian Sect ruled the Eastern Domain's Twenty-one Great States not by relying on a Sect Protecting Grand Formation, but on solid, genuine strength.

As the core Sect Stronghold of the Xuantian Sect, Xuan Prefecture did not permit anyone else to enter apart from Sect Disciples and the Leaders of Affiliated Forces.

Even Leaders of Affiliated Forces would undergo an inspection after bringing people into Xuan Prefecture if they did not have a Sect Token.

This was also the main reason Ye Yuhong had been questioned when he led Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao into the Xuantian Sect just now.

After entering the Xuantian Sect for some distance, Ye Yuhong once again brought Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao to a Teleportation Array.

Though the three of them had already entered the Xuantian Sect's Sect Stronghold, that Sect Stronghold encompassed the territory of an entire state.

Without a Teleportation Array, who knew how long they would have to fly before reaching the mountain where the Ye Family Ancestor was located.

"This should be the last Teleportation Array, right?"

Looking at the Teleportation Array before him, the corner of Ye Qingxuan's mouth twitched slightly. He had not begun cultivating yet, and passing through Teleportation Arrays did not feel good in the slightest.

Beside him, Ye Qingxiao had long lost his usual liveliness, looking utterly half-dead.

Once again following Ye Yuhong as he stepped forward, the sensation of heaven and earth spinning descended upon them again. Fortunately, it did not last long.

When the three of them emerged from the Teleportation Array, Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao nearly could not stop themselves from vomiting.

Seeing the state Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao were in, Ye Yuhong smiled and said:

"Alright, we're almost there. There is no need to use a Teleportation Array for the rest of the journey."

Upon hearing Ye Yuhong's words, neither Ye Qingxuan nor Ye Qingxiao spoke. All their attention was focused on suppressing their discomfort.

Ye Yuhong was in no hurry to continue onward and gave the two of them time to adjust.

After Ye Qingxuan and Ye Qingxiao recovered, Ye Yuhong once more swept the two of them up and fled toward a certain place.

After roughly half an hour of Sword Flight, Ye Yuhong finally stopped.

"We're here!"
