The Immortal Path of the Dihuan Realm

Before leaving the Xuantian Sect.

Ye Qingxuan suddenly remembered that he was not wearing Xuantian Sect disciple attire.

Within the Xuantian Sect, having a disciple token was enough. Whether one wore the clothes issued by the sect was of little consequence.

But when traveling Outside the Sect, if he wanted to rely on the Xuantian Sect's name for protection, he could not go without wearing Xuantian Sect attire.

After all, when others made a move against you, they would not check your token first. If you only revealed it after offending them, who knew whether it would still have any effect?

Thus, out of caution, Ye Qingxuan found a place and changed into Xuantian Sect disciple attire first.

For distinction, the Xuantian Sect's Servant Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples uniformly wore gray robes; Inner Sect Disciples wore green robes, Core Disciples red robes, True Inheritance Disciples purple robes, and Inheritance Disciples purple gold robes!

All the garments were embroidered with the Xuantian Sect's unique Xuantian Dao Patterns, allowing others to identify them at a glance.

Although Ye Qingxuan was a Blessed Cultivator Courtyard Disciple and received somewhat special treatment, by cultivation level, he could only be considered an Outer Sect Disciple at present.

Therefore, the disciple attire issued to him was gray as well.

After changing into the gray Xuantian Sect attire, Ye Qingxuan's bearing diminished slightly, but he did not care about such things.

He activated his spiritual power and poured it into the gray disciple attire. A transparent barrier instantly rose. Feeling its strength, Ye Qingxuan was faintly pleased.

"The effect isn't bad!"

The disciple attire issued by the Xuantian Sect was itself equivalent to a Mid-grade Artifact. The barrier it activated could withstand the Full Power Three Strikes of a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator.

After changing clothes, Ye Qingxuan soon rode his sword to the Xuantian Sect's outward-facing Teleportation Plaza.

Back then, Patriarch Ye Yuhong had brought him into the Xuantian Sect from this very place.

Several State-level Teleportation Arrays had been set up in the Teleportation Plaza, each leading to one of the Great Provinces neighboring Xuan Prefecture, where the Xuantian Sect was located.

To return to the Ye Family, Ye Qingxuan first needed to teleport to Xing Prefecture, which bordered Xuan Prefecture. Then, through the State-level Teleportation Arrays in the state cities of Xing Prefecture, Mu Prefecture, and Li Prefecture, he could reach Qingzhou, where the Ye Family was located.

After sweeping his gaze around and confirming the direction of the Xing Prefecture Teleportation Array, Ye Qingxuan strode toward it.

But before he had gone far, two Senior Brothers in green robes suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Halt! By the Xuantian Sect Order, disciples who have not reached Foundation Establishment may not leave the Sect Stronghold without authorization!"

The two appeared young, merely in the guise of youths. However, cultivators had methods to preserve their appearance, so one could not judge their years of cultivation by looks alone.

Looking at the two Senior Brothers who had suddenly blocked his path, Ye Qingxuan did not panic. He took out the Talisman Order Steward Bai had given him, handed it to them, and said,

"Two Senior Brothers, this Junior Brother is a Blessed Cultivator Courtyard Disciple. This trip is to return home, bid farewell to my Parents, and settle my Mortal Ties!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the two who had stopped Ye Qingxuan eased somewhat. One of them accepted the Talisman Order and inspected it. After returning it to Ye Qingxuan, he nodded.

"May Junior Brother have a smooth journey!"

With that, the two vanished from before Ye Qingxuan once more.

Though the two were already nowhere to be seen, Ye Qingxuan still respectfully replied,

"Qingxuan thanks the two Senior Brothers!"

Afterward, he stepped into the Teleportation Array leading to Xing Prefecture, leaving the Xuantian Sect's stronghold in the Xuantian Mountain Range for the first time.

Xing Prefecture, within the Teleportation Plaza of the state city.

Ye Qingxuan's figure slowly emerged.

Having experienced this Inter-Prefecture Teleportation Array again, Ye Qingxuan was no longer as miserable as he had been back then.

His Qi Refining Perfection cultivation was enough to let him control that dizzy sensation.

He moved to the side and made sure he would not obstruct others. Then Ye Qingxuan looked at the Teleportation Array behind him and sighed in amazement.

"The Dihuan Realm truly is extraordinary!"

Ye Qingxuan was no longer as ignorant as he had been in the past, believing the existence of such Large Teleportation Arrays to be commonplace.

During his years in the Xuantian Sect, the books he had read most were records concerning the history of the Dihuan Realm.

In the distant years of the Dihuan Realm's past, ultra-long-distance Teleportation Arrays like State-level Teleportation Arrays had been beyond imagination.

Not to mention their astonishing stability.

In the Dihuan Realm's extremely ancient years, Teleportation Arrays not only had short transmission ranges, but were also exceedingly unstable. Any Mortal without cultivation who entered one would certainly die.

Even all other aspects of cultivation were far inferior to those of the present Dihuan Realm.

A Teleportation Array alone, after years of evolution and improvement, had not only gained ever-greater range, but had even become stable enough for an ordinary Mortal without cultivation to use.

The reason the Dihuan Realm's Cultivation Civilization had flourished without decline for so long was that every walk of life had made great strides.

All of this was inseparable from the Dihuan Realm's stable environment.

It could only be said that the Dihuan Realm's current golden age was the result of the joint efforts of cultivators across successive generations.

If a world wanted to remain prosperous, relying solely on one force would not suffice. Only when all Top Powers reached a tacit understanding and jointly established rules and order could the stable development of the entire world be ensured.

It could only be said that the Dihuan Realm's Mahayana Cultivators were not Short-sighted Persons.

The Cultivation Worlds Ye Qingxuan had first come to understand had all been learned from certain novels in his Past Life.

Most Cultivation Worlds in those novels centered on slaughter and conflict, with Harm the Heavens and Benefit Oneself as the mainstream of the Cultivation World.

They would destroy sects and wipe out clans at the slightest provocation. Spirit Veins that could not be occupied long-term would be mined empty through destructive exploitation, and the cultivation environment of the entire world became worse with each generation.

Such conduct could not be called right or wrong, because that was the mainstream environment of those worlds, something no individual could change.

"Perhaps, among the Myriad Worlds, most worlds take Harm the Heavens and Benefit Oneself as the mainstream of cultivation?"

Ye Qingxuan was momentarily lost in thought. The more he learned about the Dihuan Realm, the more fortunate he felt.

Fortunate that he had transmigrated to the Dihuan Realm rather than another world.

The Dihuan Realm's current structure!

Numerous Hegemon-level Forces suppressed all directions and jointly established order. Though they did not interfere in conflicts between cultivators, they restricted the scope of conflict among Other Powers within their respective territories.

The vast regions between the various Hegemon-level Forces were, in fact, deliberately left behind through the tacit understanding of those Hegemon-level Forces, all to leave a thread of survival for ambitious forces.

Otherwise, relying on Super Teleportation Array technology, the territories of the Dihuan Realm Inner's five prefectures could easily have been divided among those Hegemon-level Forces.

Those forces that only sought to preserve their inheritances mostly gathered within the territories of the Hegemon-level Forces, abiding by the Competition Rules established by those Hegemon-level Forces.

Forces with ambition and a desire for development mostly occupied the regions deliberately reserved between the various Hegemon-level Forces, where they could greatly expand their own strength.

However, all forces in the Dihuan Realm had to obey the iron law established by the Hegemon-level Forces:

They were forbidden from destructively mining or damaging Spirit Veins of every grade within the Dihuan Realm. Violators would face Joint Punishment!

This was the Dihuan Realm's basic structure today!

Such rules had greatly reduced the harm done to the Dihuan Realm. So long as the Hegemon-level Forces did not fall into disorder, the Dihuan Realm basically would not descend into great chaos.

Perhaps the Dihuan Realm's rules were not the best among the Myriad Worlds.

But the Dihuan Realm had flourished without decline, and the cultivation environment of the entire world had grown better with each generation. That alone was enough to prove the Dihuan Realm's extraordinariness.

Taking the world as a boat, crossing the Sea of Suffering together!

Even cultivators who departed from the world through Ascension had to repay their karma to the world before Ascension, contributing a share of strength to the world's development.

This was also the Immortal Path Ye Qingxuan desired!

If the world gave birth to me and raised me, yet I had to wound and harm it to forge my own path, then how could it be worthy of the word immortal?

How could the world possibly flourish without decline, growing ever more prosperous?

When a world began to weaken, it also meant that the Immortal Path of This Realm had begun to weaken.
