Chapter 107: New Regulations
The disciples fell silent, their earlier looks of admiration turning to anger and even a sense of being tricked.
In the earlier scene, the crowd had been too large. Given their cultivation levels, the faint spiritual energy fluctuations went unnoticed, so no one spotted the tricks. But to You You and Yuan Qi, his schemes unfolded like a slow-motion replay, clear as day.
“But his Qualifications are exceptional. Even with his flawed character, perhaps…” Feng Yu still hesitated, feeling regret.
“Feng Yu!” You You cut him off sharply. “Do you think a flawed character isn’t a serious issue?”
“Of course it is!” Feng Yu shook his head. “But he’s young. With guidance, his temperament might improve. He’s still a talent.”
“He’s no talent,” You You countered. “Character can change, but integrity isn’t so easily fixed. We’re an immortal sect, not a nursery! Teaching morals is his parents’ duty, not ours. Even if he *could* change, do you think he sees his actions as wrong?”
Feng Yu fell silent, glancing again at the water mirror. The man wandered the mountain gate, curiosity in his eyes but no remorse. He clearly felt no guilt.
“You call him ‘young’ because you’ve lived centuries. But among ordinary people, he’s old enough to teach others. What would such a ‘talent’ bring the Zhen Yan Sect? More disciples for him to trample?”
Feng Yu paled, imagining a sect filled with such individuals. He clasped his hands, bowing. “Forgive me, Sect Master. I was mistaken.”
You You stood, gaze sweeping the disciples. “Hear this clearly: Cultivation isn’t about gaining power to bully the weak. Strength should protect yourselves *and* others. I’ll never tolerate cruelty or treating ordinary people as insects!”
Her voice hardened. “If any of you feel superior, wake up! Years ago, we were all ordinary. Until you ascend, you’re still human. Act like it! If you can’t be decent humans, you’ve no right to seek immortality. We cultivate to transcend—not to become beasts!”
The disciples stared, struck by her words. You You rarely spoke so harshly. But power breeds arrogance, and she wouldn’t let their sect foster tyrants. Overlooking wrongdoing today would invite worse tomorrow. Rules had to be set—*now*.
“I don’t demand greatness. Just remember: you were born human. Never forget that. Understood?”
“YES, SECT MASTER!” The reply thundered across the square, fervent and united—except from Ling Qi, who stood motionless, eyes distant.
You You’s words echoed in his mind: *Born human…*
Cultivation refined the heart. However powerful they grew, they remained human first. That truth, long buried under ambition, now blazed clear. Spiritual energy whirled around him as clarity shattered an inner barrier.
“Ling Qi?!” You You reached for him, but Yuan Qi pulled her back.
“He’s having an epiphany. Don’t interfere!”
“Epiphany?”
“Your words sparked enlightenment. His cultivation’s advancing.”
Ling Qi sat cross-legged as energy surged. The square’s spiritual energy spiraled violently, winds howling. You You evacuated the disciples, sealing the area while Lin Feng and Shui Yan ushered qualified newcomers to the side hall—all but the scheming man.
Ling Qi had been among the sect’s few Golden Core cultivators, once its strongest before the Feng Family joined. While peers progressed, he’d stagnated at late Golden Core stage, burdened by sect duties. You You had worried she’d overworked him—until now.
Five days passed. The energy storm only grew, Yuan Qi reinforcing formations daily.
“He’s…” Yuan Qi studied the raging vortex. “…preparing to form his Nascent Soul.”
A leap in realms?!
