Chapter 15 Tumult

The world changed in an instant, but for ordinary people, it was no different from the moment before.

Tang Sudong’s sacrifice brought more changes to the world for cultivators.

From this moment on, many cultivators who had been bound by aristocratic families and wealthy clans due to cultivation defects were now freed from their cultivation predicaments.

In their minds, they had gained freedom.

"For at least the next twenty years, this world will become extremely exciting." Ye Chuyu imitated Ye Chuxiao, gazing in the direction of the Ministry of Justice's prison.

"A powerhouse of the Wuding realm chose to sacrifice himself to the Dao. Even if it's only for twenty years, can the Heavenly Dao really be completed in these twenty years?" At this moment, Ye Chuxiao also noticed the activity of his various emotions. The anxiety, melancholy, joy, and sorrow that had been suppressed before all turned into trickles of emotion, gathering in his heart, creating a mixture of feelings.

Ye Chuyu shook his head. "Even if it's only for twenty years, it won't truly be complete. It will only make the contradictions in this world more complex and full of changes."

"But a sound world is complex in itself."

"To be specific, I'm not too sure either. Some things lose their true meaning when they are recorded in words and conveyed by mouth."

"Our realms are not high enough; it's normal that we can't understand." At this moment, Ye Chuyu seemed to have completely shed her childishness, appearing extraordinarily mature.

Having said that, Ye Chuyu reminded Ye Chuxiao, "However, since a powerhouse in this world chose to sacrifice himself to the Dao, this place will become a gathering place for heroes from various worlds for at least the next twenty years."

"Because no matter what cultivation defects one has, they may be partially supplemented in this world."

"It will be an excellent transit station. If one cannot find a suitable corresponding cultivation world, settling in this world for a long time is also a very good choice."

"As you said, after a Wuding realm powerhouse sacrifices himself to the Dao, it's like a whale fall, and those fierce predators will always rush up to tear apart large chunks of flesh."

Ye Chuxiao asked, "Is the Creation Boat's teleportation not random?"

Ye Chuyu said, "As long as one is willing to spend Dao rhythm on divination at the Destiny Altar, one can learn what method to use to teleport to this world at a fixed point."

"When you ride the Creation Boat in the future, don't casually reveal that you come from Daheng, otherwise you will be targeted by those with ulterior motives."

After saying that, Ye Chuyu began to bid farewell to Ye Chuxiao.

"I have to leave again. I must return to Zhanlan as soon as possible to tell my father this news."

Obviously, the Zhanlan world sect behind Ye Chuyu was the greedy predator she spoke of.

After saying goodbye to Ye Chuyu, Ye Chuxiao did not choose to return to the Ministry of Justice's prison immediately, but continued to stroll around.

When the seven emotions and six desires suppressed by indifference and restlessness returned to normal, Ye Chuxiao was also filled with curiosity about this world, which was still very unfamiliar to him.

In the following days, it was visible to the naked eye that the entire Shenjing City became lively and vibrant.

High-ranking officials and nobles also became keen on holding various forms of banquets.

Those old acquaintances and friends who had not been in contact for a long time also reconnected, either forming groups to go on spring outings and write poetry, or gathering together to discuss cultivation.

Even Ye Chuxiao received an invitation.

His 'friends' who had studied together invited him to go on a spring outing by the Qu River outside Shenjing City to reconnect.

However, after considering it, Ye Chuxiao chose to decline.

This was no longer because of indifference, but because he was a 'transmigrator' rather than the original owner of the body. If he went rashly, he feared he would reveal his secret.

The impact and changes caused by Tang Sudong's sacrifice to the Dao were naturally far more than just 'socializing.'

Throughout Daheng, both internally and externally, there were more places where wondrous changes were quietly taking place.

In the Ministry of Justice's prison, the original laissez-faire attitude gradually began to strengthen control.

The humble place in the Ministry of Justice's prison, which seemed to have been forgotten, was once again placed before those officials, prompting them to re-emphasize its importance.

Naturally, the dead-end promotion path for the prison guards also quietly opened a crack.

Ten days later, the prison guards of the Ministry of Justice's prison would hold an internal competition.

Those who ranked high would receive rewards and even be promoted exceptionally.

At the same time, the Ministry of Justice's prison would specifically set up the position of 'Warden in Charge.' Although from the perspective of rank, it was still unranked and could only be considered a clerk, not an official.

However, one could rightfully lead the prison guards of the Ministry of Justice's prison, manage all affairs, and be directly under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Justice.

The previous head guard, Bai Toubiao, was only a default identity, without a formal appointment from the government.

Moreover, as a 'squad leader,' he could act arbitrarily in the Ministry of Justice's prison, but when it came to officialdom, any minor official of the eighth or ninth rank in the Ministry of Justice could order him around.

However, as long as one became the 'Warden in Charge' directly under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Justice, one's status would undergo a drastic change.

Naturally, one would no longer be an object that those minor officials of the Ministry of Justice could easily manipulate.

In order to successfully obtain the position of 'Warden in Charge,' Bai Toubiao's expression had become much kinder in recent days, and he had been actively wooing many squad leaders with more subordinates.

The wealth transported from his own residence and sent to the residences of the various officials in charge of the Ministry of Justice was also considerable.

Similarly, those prison guards with outstanding cultivation were also the key targets of Bai Toubiao's wooing and threats, mainly emphasizing a combination of 'kindness and coercion.'

Ye Chuxiao's reported cultivation had been changed to the second level of the Bitter Sea realm. Among the prison guards, he was considered quite outstanding. Therefore, Bai Toubiao had specifically met with him, not only promising him a pie in the sky but also subtly threatening him.

Although Bai Toubiao was very confident in obtaining the position of 'Warden in Charge,' he was still worried that he might fail unexpectedly.

Of course, the key targets of Bai Toubiao's 'care' were not Ye Chuxiao.

Rather, they were several old squad leaders whose cultivation was stuck at the third level of the Bitter Sea realm and who were long-serving veterans.

These old squad leaders had previously been obedient to Bai Toubiao.

But when it came down to it, after all, people's hearts were unpredictable.

The small Ministry of Justice's prison was already full of undercurrents.

Ye Chuxiao still only focused on cultivation.

After spending two-thirds of the spiritual pearls brought back from Tianluo to purchase resources, Ye Chuxiao crossed the Bitter Sea for the third time.

This time, he was crossing the 'Bitter Sea' of a Qi Refiner's cultivation.

As everyone knew, the early stages of Qi Refiner cultivation were the most resource-saving and easiest among the hundreds of cultivation paths.

However, the Qi Refiner's Bitter Sea cultivation was the longest and most 'torturous' cultivation among Ye Chuxiao's three crossings of the Bitter Sea.

After crossing the Bitter Sea three times, even if Ye Chuxiao wanted to break into the Neng realm, he had no spiritual roots to use.

If he continued to cultivate, he would still have to find another path and cross the Bitter Sea again.

At the same time, he would use his body, which had crossed the Bitter Sea multiple times, to refine true Qi and temper his Qi and blood.

Using the cultivation of crossing the Bitter Sea several times to cultivate true Qi and broaden the pool of Qi, the efficiency was more than ten times higher than before crossing the Bitter Sea.
