Chapter 281: Respect for Power
Flames burned fiercely.
They isolated the sky.
The Xuan Bird also halted in front of the flames.
"This is…?"
"The triple fire trials of the Seventh Ocean Palace?"
Yun Ye flipped through the documents and found the corresponding description.
The Rain World Secret Realm was vast, filled with various strange natural disasters. As Yun Ye flew towards the core area, he mainly avoided these unique calamities.
Among them, the triple fire trials were one of the well-known disasters, composed not only of spirit fire but also consisting of three increasingly powerful stages, each one several times stronger than the previous.
The energy consumed to pass through these triple fire trials was far greater than taking a detour; generally, no one would enter, let alone explore inside to discover precious ruins.
The Born Main Vein once had a peerless law realm and gathered a wealth of information that allowed them to find ruins.
Outside the triple fire trials, there happened to be an island where numerous cultivators temporarily gathered.
Seeing Yun Ye, many frowned. “Xiang Ying actually came too. Although his power is remarkable, he is still just in the spiritual realm. This ruin has many Great Cultivators at the Law Realms…”
No matter how strong Xiang Ying was in the spiritual realm, he remained just a genius in that realm.
The Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect was never short of geniuses, especially those who had fully developed their talents.
How could a super genius in the spiritual realm compare with Great Cultivators at the Law Realms?
"Do we need to protect from fire? The Xuan Bird was made in haste, and many functions are incomplete…"
Yun Ye honestly did not want to waste energy protecting the sizeable Xuan Bird, but if they tried to save energy, their speed passing through the triple fire trials would consume even more.
It was a troublesome matter.
He was really short on time to cultivate, and in such a uniquely favorable environment, he wouldn’t want to wander around if it weren’t for the sudden appearance of the ruins.
"Heir, leave it to us! The Xuan Bird can provide protection, and we can consume spirit pills in turns."
"Don’t delay your cultivation!"
The three quickly noticed that Yun Ye did not want to waste time.
“The spiritual realm… is far from enough to cross here. However, right now, time is more important; you can only borrow the power of the formation.”
Yun Ye shook his head, took out the formation disc for the Extreme Cold Sealing Formation. Though it was only a disc, its power was far from what it was during its peak, yet it was still enough to barely get through the triple fire trials.
Seeing the formation disc floating before them, the three were hesitant to take it.
They were merely Yun Ye’s subordinates; how could they dare to accept this disc that contained secrets of Spiritual Law?
Although merely using the formation could not unveil its Essence, it allowed for a close perception of its nature, which could be seen as a breakthrough point by someone with ill intentions, leading to being captured and interrogated.
Under normal circumstances, core treasures of the main system were never handed over to servants and subordinates.
Such a level of caution already indicated the protection of a Dao device; otherwise, it would be even more intense.
"Take it. The order established by the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect over the millennia is not so easily broken."
"Don’t… waste time."
Yun Ye lightly spoke.
The three felt a chill in their hearts and immediately accepted the formation disc, starting to familiarize themselves with the formation.
They were not clear about the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, but since Yun Ye said so, it must be the truth.
Yun Ye closed his eyes and continued to cultivate, completely unconcerned about the possibility of leaking secrets.
Although the three were not disciples of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, the rules of the Dao Artifact would still apply.
Because as long as they lived on the territory of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, a binding force would emerge!
This is the "Order."
This is the means by which the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect governs Huangzhou.
Not only did they fail to join the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, but they were also directly defined as the lowest tier.
Those at the bottom of the order could be deprived of their lives at will and did not even need to swear an oath; they were forbidden from speaking various knowledge, whether it was their own or that of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
This level of restraint allowed the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect to worry little about the vast majority of leaks.
However, there was still a flaw, as they could be subject to soul-searching!
If the soul-searching was skillful enough, examining memories could happen in an instant. If the spiritual body could not be extinguished immediately, the possibility of knowledge leaking remained.
Thus, if the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect detected any leaks, they would tear through space to pursue the culprits.
The interference of Powerful Figures would not allow for any chance of escape; only in this way could they truly intimidate practitioners who possessed many powerful methods.
"Whoosh—"
The Xuan Bird burst into the wall of fire, disappearing from the sight of many disciples.
At the same time, outside the ruin’s tower, many looked up.
Many of the disciples outside were deliberately placed scouts to inform them of the movements of the newcomers.
Yun Ye’s arrival surprised many; they had thought that the still-growing Yun Ye would not become involved in this matter. They didn’t expect him to show up. Was this a lack of self-awareness or merely an openness to seeing the world?
After a brief exchange, several practitioners silently infiltrated the wall of fire.
Where there are people, there is a struggle.
Many did not want to see Qushuang’s lineage produce another peerless figure in the law realms.
Now, with Lan Wuyin’s time running out and multiple peerless figures aging, if they interrupted the growth of the new generation, Qushuang’s lineage would soon drop from the third order, making space for other Dao Systems.
This was an astonishing interest; if there was a chance, there was no reason not to pursue it.
Therefore, Yun Ye was stopped.
In the third triple fire trial, when the spirit fire reached its peak power, a massive fire net rose, sealing off the area.
The Xuan Bird immediately slowed down, not daring to force its way through.
"What do you mean?"
Yun Ye spoke, using his Spirit Sense to convey his message to the surroundings.
"This road is blocked; Xiang Ying, you should stay here."
A figure at the law realms said lightly.
"Do you wish to kill me?"
"Although this is a Secret Realm, the power of the Dao Artifact still exists. Do you dare to face my Master’s wrath?"
Yun Ye frowned.
"Ha ha…"
The figure at the law realms laughed and said, "We only blocked the space; we did not attack you."
"It just so happens that there is spirit fire here, and since you, a genius, lingered too long, you might get burned to death."
"The Dao Artifact does not concern itself with living beings; you cannot blame us."
This was a loophole.
The rules of the Dao Artifact were often vague, with few detailed supplements because they required substantial resonance.
And resonance was always insufficient, allowing some loopholes to exist.
The core of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect is complete confidentiality of knowledge; as long as this point remains intact, the rest is unimportant.
Moreover, it is quite normal for strong opponents to kill weaker opponents, isn’t it?
It has always been this way; it is the weaker’s fault, not the stronger’s.
The Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect would not waste substantial resonance to establish rules just to prevent infighting.
If they had the ability, they would fight back.
Even if one were to kill, they would merely have that sin recorded and could offset it with merit.
These figures at the law realms did not act themselves, not out of fear of sin, but simply out of respect for Lan Wuyin’s strength. If they had no background, killing him would be easy.
"Lastly, what about the projection?"
"Won’t the scenes here be projected outside?"
Yun Ye looked at the burning flames before him. Although his vision was indeed completely obscured by fire, Spirit Law did not rely on sight and should still be able to observe talent.
