In the valley.

Female cultivator Yuanyuan and Qiao Canxue walked side by side.

At this mont, Qiao Canxue had removed her disguise and revealed her true appearance when eting Yuanyuan. However, the two of them didn’t have much to say, and even walking side by side, there was an invisible distance between them.

"Senior Sister Yuanyuan, I will stop talking here."

Qiao Canxue said, "The path of Nine Immortal Gates is not easy to walk."

"Whether you seek immortal cultivation or wish for a pure heart… it’s better for Senior Sister to listen to the rules of Nine Immortal Gates yourself. Speaking more is of no use…"

By this ti, the two of them had reached the courtyard outside where Taoist Jinyang held a small eting.

………………………

"You say the cultivation world has no strict rules… but when Senior Brother was talking about the rules earlier, it was all very precise…"

The white-haired Taoist youth spoke calmly.

He stood still at the entrance of the small courtyard, just lifted his head to glance at the human-shaped sword in the pit.

In that mont, the air seed to silently distort, as the human-shaped sword stuck in the ground rose up from the pit on its own and flew into the hands of the white-haired young Taoist.

"For example, how did the newly joined Taoist Yuanyuan from Xuantian Sect break your rules and end up being targeted by you like this?"

The white-haired youth spoke calmly, with a peaceful tone and no sign of anger on his face.

At that mont, blood dripped down from the sword’s body, and as the white-haired youth gently shook his hand, the blood fell onto the ground.

"Alright, alright," Taoist Jinyang felt a thin layer of sweat on his back.

His heart was pounding, and he secretly thought to himself: No wonder Female Cultivator Yuanyuan had many treasures in her hands. It seems she may not have just found the cave of a senior expert who has attained enlightennt. There may be soone else supporting her from behind…

What surprised him was that her supporter seed quite strong, clearly not a cultivator from Xuantian Sect, yet daring to intrude in the sacred grounds of Qingming Valley to stand up for her.

After a mont of contemplation, he said:

"Taoist Friend Yuanyuan did not break the rules, it’s just the unspoken rules here in Qingming Valley, and she doesn’t quite fit in."

"Oh?" The young man with white hair raised an eyebrow, waiting for more information.

Taoist Jinyang was secretly pleased.

"This unexpected guest is obviously very confident, thinking of

as an easy target, so he approached

slowly and systematically with his questions."

He just chuckled to himself:

This sword practitioner who controls a strange flying sword may be skilled in techniques, but not very smart, not even understanding the simple rule that villains often talk too much, as storytellers say.

Although he could have easily defeated him with a sword, he was overly confident, not realizing that Qingming Valley is right under the Xuantian Sect’s nose, and he had secretly sent a ssage Jade Talisman for help.

Soon enough, reinforcents from the sect would arrive. No matter how powerful he might be, could he really withstand the overwhelming strength of the Xuantian Sect’s cultivators?

Taoist Jinyang cleared his throat, looking earnest as he said:

"If Taoist Friend Yuanyuan was born in ancient tis, perhaps he could have achieved great success; but since the drastic changes in the world, and the decline of spiritual energy, cultivators who only know to cultivate in seclusion have no way out."

Taoist Jinyang sighed as he spoke:

"Except for a very few naturally gifted individuals, ordinary cultivators who cultivate in seclusion, ninety-nine percent of them find it difficult to break through the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Building Stage."

"If they want to continue their practice, they must imrse themselves in the world!"

"Struggle, struggle, struggle!"

"We cultivators must strive against others, against the heavens, against ourselves, fighting for a glimr of hope for immortality on the Dao."

As Taoist Jinyang said this, he beca imrsed in the story, almost forgetting that he was delaying ti.

"Since Taoist Lord Qingmu refined the first Incense Symbol of Divine Fire, the Nine Immortal Gates have successively entered the world, vying for the mortal incense in Jiu Province."

"Those who seclude themselves for cultivation can only fade away in the wild caves, only by entering the world to compete for incense can they succeed in this competition, and only the victors in this battle for incense can advance in their cultivation."

"In this world, there has long been a great conflict. If one does not fight, not only can they not achieve immortality, but they will also struggle to maintain their status."

"So?" asked the young man with white hair, raising an eyebrow.

"Therefore, it is not that Taoist Friend Yuanyuan cannot adapt to the rules, but rather she was born in the wrong era." Taoist Jinyang said solemnly.

"The fault lies not with her, but with the world."

"The rules of this world are such that even those with noble character who seek to cultivate immortality must inevitably get involved with the mundane world and engage in worldly struggles."

However, in Taoist Jinyang’s eyes, the expression of the young man with white hair remained neutral, with a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth, making it hard for him to decipher the man’s intentions.

The young man with white hair asked, "Engaging in worldly struggles and mingling with the common people does not an treating them as pigs or dogs.."

"Brother, you are mistaken…" Taoist Jinyang shook his head.

"In our Qingming Valley, there are rules of Qingming Valley; in the outer cultivation world, there are rules of the cultivation world."

"Although not exactly the sa, it’s like seeing a glimpse through a keyhole."

"Treating people well can make them worship you devoutly, just like the recent actions of Taoist Friend Yuanyuan in Qingming Valley."

Taoist Jinyang explained:

"She spent a lot of valuable coins to buy Spiritual Taoist Soldiers from , but in the end, it would have been more effective to just command the Spiritual Farrs to work."

"The cultivation world outside is the sa."

"The human heart is not simple. Treating ordinary people with kindness and favors may make them respect you temporarily, but using a combination of kindness and authority is more effective in the long run."

"For more than forty years in the mortal world, the Nine Immortal Gates have developed a strong and effective thod to extract worship power… extracting as much worship power as possible from limited mortal beings."

"Those who stick to old ways and hold on to traditional values will fall behind and eventually be eliminated by the rules of the cultivation world."

"Only cultivators who adapt to the new rules can gain more worship power in this world of declining spiritual energy and reach higher levels of immortality."

"I see now," said the young man with white hair, feeling greatly impressed and convinced.

"Senior Brother Jinyang, even though your insights are profound, your cultivation is only at the Foundation Building Stage. It’s truly a waste. The Xuantian Sect seems to not have enough resources, which has hindered your bright future," he added sympathetically.

Taoist Jinyang smirked slightly.

This person was being sarcastic, saying that despite his eloquence, he had only reached the Foundation Building Stage in cultivation. It was all talk and no action.

"However, I feel that this rule… is not right," the young man with white hair suddenly spoke up.

As soon as he finished speaking.

Taoist Jinyang suddenly sensed sothing and looked up at the sky.

He saw several figures breaking through the clouds and heading towards them, with Senior Brother Ziyang leading the way as their powerful support.

"Senior Brother Ziyang is indeed reliable," Taoist Jinyang had not lied before.

After the Foundation Building Stage, he had a change of heart and made peace with Taoist Jinyang.

Taoist Jinyang has now beco his main support, a very reliable one indeed.

Upon hearing that Taoist Jinyang, suspected to be a powerful cultivator, was attacked by enemies, he not only ca in person but also brought a few others who were also skilled cultivators from the Xuantian Sect.

Just one glance from Taoist Jinyang made him stand up straighter and feel more confident.

Things are looking stable now.

Looking at the mysterious white-haired cultivator in front of him, he realized that he must be a skilled golden core cultivator with strange abilities, most likely not from any other Immortal Gate’s Nascent Soul Elders.

Now that Taoist Jinyang and other Golden Core Stage cultivators have arrived, along with a few others, at their own sect’s headquarters, how could they possibly lose?

As a Foundation Building Stage cultivator, Taoist Jinyang seldom interacts with Xuantian Sect’s Nascent Soul Elders.

An outsider at the Qi Refining Stage was killed, but it would be unlikely for the Nascent Soul Elders from the sect to get involved.

Now, Taoist Jinyang led several fellow golden core cultivators to co together, which was a pleasant surprise.

"The rules of the cultivation world are not right? I find your words amusing," Taoist Jinyang laughed.

"Friend, you seem not to understand the rules."

"These so-called rules are not like the laws issued by emperors in the mortal world, but rather customs that have beco traditions."

"Do you understand what I an?" Taoist Jinyang sneered.

"There is no real culprit, no one who started it all."

"The cultivation world is like this now because of these rules, not because of one person’s command, but because everyone follows them."

"Do you understand?"

"Without Senior Brother Ziyang teaching

the rules of the cultivation world in the past, without Green Wood Taoist Lord who first crafted the Incense Symbol of Divine Fire…"

"While we cultivators were practicing the ancient thods, before the great changes in the world, did you think the cultivation world was a pure and happy place?" Taoist Jinyang sneered.

"The rules of the cultivation world have always been like this…"

"Are you done talking?" The young man with white hair showed no emotion, and simply said.

Taoist Jinyang slightly frowned, feeling a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

"Stop pretending, do you think bluffing will work?" he shouted.

The young man with white hair nodded gently.

"Since you’ve finished explaining your rules, let

share my thoughts as well."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The young man with white hair saw the human-shaped sword made of Blazing Essence Gold in his hand soar into the sky!

A bright white sword light flashed like a streak.

Before the Purple Sun Taoist who had just turned into a rainbow could say anything, he disappeared in an instant.

A large head fell together with a mutilated body, crashing onto the ground with a muffled thud, breaking open like a smashed waterlon.

The sound of the crash was like a heavy hamr hitting Taoist Jinyang and several other golden core cultivators who ca together.

Only the voice of the white-haired youth echoed in the courtyard:

"This is —-"

"The natural way!"

Taoist Jinyang’s mind went blank for a mont.

The other golden core cultivators in the sky, who had not yet descended, also had a dramatic change in their expressions.

They may not understand this person completely, but they already know he is dangerous.

With a sudden thought, those golden core cultivators imdiately fled in fear, transforming into streaks of light disappearing into the sky.

What a joke! They followed Daoist Ziyang here to help out, to beat up the troublemakers, not to fight against a strong enemy with unknown strength!

In no ti, those figures had flown into the sky and vanished from sight.

………………………………………….

Daoist Ziyang is a golden core cultivator who guards Qingming Valley.

Within the Immortal Gate Xuantian Sect, golden core cultivators are the backbone, while nascent soul cultivators are the senior elders of the sect.

The news of an outsider suddenly killing Daoist Ziyang naturally spread quickly, as the fleeing golden core cultivators reported it imdiately.

Qingming Valley is an important place for the Xuantian Sect, where a Nascent Soul Elder specifically oversees things.

Normally, the elder who oversees this place should handle this matter.

But currently, the one in charge of Qingming Valley is not the Nascent Soul Elder, but the Soul Changing Taoist Lord, the current leader of Xuantian Sect.

Inside a cave.

The Xuantian Sect’s leader placed down the glowing ssage Jade Talisman in his hand, with a slight smile on his face.

"After waiting for days, I finally get to this mont."

Qingming Valley is a trap.

To avoid alerting the enemy and to lure the Qiao family mber into a trap, the Xuantian Sect’s leader naturally kept this matter quiet, only taking so precious spiritual dicine and removing so key figures from Qingming Valley.

He glanced at the soul Wang Songhe beside him, laughed twice, and walked out of the cave.

A powerful aura belonging to the Soul Changing Taoist Lord surged into the sky a mont later.

Of course! Please provide the sentence you’d like

to translate.

Inside Taoist Jinyang’s small courtyard.

The old man with white hair still stood at the entrance of the small courtyard, without taking a single step.

After the death of Purple Sun Daoist, he extended his hand forward and caught the human-shaped great sword falling from the sky.

This scene made Taoist Jinyang’s body involuntarily tremble.

"Did you let them go on purpose?"

His body was shaking, and his voice was trembling too.

The latter stayed silent and didn’t reply to him. The silence spread in the small courtyard, like a bottomless pit slowly expanding, swallowing Taoist Jinyang within.

He only felt a deep chill in his bones.

"You let them go. Are you planning to make things worse?" He was shocked.

"Um…"

"Do you think it’s wrong in the cultivation world’s rules to really kill them all?"

Taoist Jinyang at this mont, had long forgotten about Taoist Yuanyuan.

"Friend, don’t forget, the current situation in the cultivation world doesn’t have a mastermind or instigator."

"I know you’re strong, but do you want to challenge the rules of the entire cultivation world alone?"

This voice broke the silence, spreading in the small courtyard.

The young man with white hair, who had been standing still the whole ti, finally made a move.

He glanced up at the sky, as if sensing sothing.

Then he finally stopped standing still, and started lifting his feet, holding the bloody King Qin Sword, walking step by step towards Taoist Jinyang.

"What does your rule as a cultivator have to do with

as an ordinary martial artist?"

After saying that, he punched out, and his fist expanded rapidly in Taoist Jinyang’s vision.

With a loud bang.

Taoist Jinyang and the small courtyard behind him were crushed into dust as if they were being crushed under this punch.
