Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

I thought the old man would ramble on for a bit, but to my surprise, he didn't beat around the bush. After he finished speaking, the old man's face slowly turned transparent at the entrance of the cave and gradually disappeared.

"Haha, kid, see you again someday!"

The jade slip fragment flashed in the air before falling into Ye Yunjian's hand.

Ye Yunjian held the jade slip fragment in his hand, and at this moment, the outer layer of spiritual energy slowly opened.

The scorching heat suddenly dissipated, and Ye Yunjian let out a long sigh of relief, walking to the cave entrance for some fresh air. Only then did he realize that after a night of cultivation, his cultivation level had gone from almost falling back to that of a mortal to instantly reaching the third level of the Profound Vein realm once again.

The cultivation speed within the Earth Fire Spirit Cocoon, coupled with the assistance of his own Xuan Bone, is truly terrifying.

However, he wondered if Situ Jiuxiao would have any doubts if he saw how rapidly he was cultivating.

Thinking that he needed to find a way to conceal his cultivation, he arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Fire Cave and saw a faint light.

Unexpectedly, after all this commotion, a whole night has already passed.

The sky was gradually brightening, turning a pale white.

It seems the remaining rest time is only enough for a nap.

Perhaps she was too tired, Ye Yun fell asleep as soon as her sword touched the pillow.

Unbeknownst to them, after sleeping for an unknown amount of time, the sound of bells and drums echoed from the sect's bell tower.

Ye Yunjian was startled awake, so he put on his clothes and got up.

Then, Ye Yunjian heard a series of chaotic footsteps outside the cave.

Upon hearing the drumbeats, Ye Yunjian realized that others must have also heard them. He was startled awake. Had something terrible happened in the sect?

That's not right. In my previous life, at this time, apart from the sect's small secret realms and the sect's grand competition, there was no invasion from outside enemies.

Could it be?

Upon closer listening, the intermittent sounds of bells and drums resembled a notification summoning all disciples of some sect for an event.

The bells rang melodiously, and the drums beat rhythmically, creating a solemn and elaborate atmosphere, with twelve consecutive long and short strikes.

The Xuanhuo Sect has a total of one thousand members, with Situ Jiuxiao as the sect leader and only five disciples in seclusion.

However, the sect also has the Grand Elder, Elders, Protectors, Envoys, their disciples, as well as the outer disciples and believers of the sect. The sound of the bell and drum is to summon everyone.

"This is really strange. What major event has happened that would suddenly summon the entire sect?" Ye Yunjian focused his mind and sensed his body, discovering that his body had actually returned to the Xuanmai realm after his dantian had shattered.

Clenching his fists tightly, Ye Yunjian suddenly felt confident. Although he was somewhat tired and still felt a faint burning sensation from the earth fire cultivation last night, he felt joy at this moment.

Just as he was about to go out to see what was going on, Bai Yueling's voice came from outside the cave: "Fourth Senior Brother, Master and the First Elder have summoned everyone to the Xuanhuo Hall!"

Master and the Grand Elder summoned everyone together? Ye Yunjian was surprised. Master and the Grand Elder were always at odds, so why were they suddenly calling on all of us to go to the Xuanhuo Hall?

"Junior sister, wait a moment." Ye Yunjian agreed, changed into a slightly more formal outfit, and was about to walk out of the Spirit Fire Cave when he suddenly stiffened and took out a spirit-suppressing stone from the cabinet and put it on his person.

Instantly, his cultivation level dropped from the third stage of the Profound Meridian to the first stage of the Profound Meridian. Alright!

In this way, Situ Jiuxiao wouldn't suspect him too much, nor would he need to investigate him.

Stepping outside the cave, Ye Yunjian asked Bai Yueling, who was waiting outside, "Junior Sister, what happened in the sect?"

Seeing her senior brother's slightly haggard appearance, Bai Yueling shook her head slightly: "I don't know either. It's just that my senior sister asked me to come find you. She said that Master and the Grand Elder specifically asked you to come, so I came to find you."

A hint of worry flickered across Bai Yueling's originally bright eyes. She thought back to when her fourth senior brother was full of vigor, but now he had to start all over again from the Xuan Meridian.

Fortunately, after just one night of cultivation, my senior brother returned to the Profound Vein Realm, though he has only just reached the first level. I wonder when he will be able to return to the Profound Core Realm on his path of rebuilding...

Following Bai Yueling along the bluestone path, they finally stopped outside the main hall of the Xuanhuo Hall. At this time, many disciples had gathered outside the Xuanhuo Hall, and Ye Yunjian and Bai Yueling waited respectfully on the stone steps outside the hall.

At this moment, Ye Yunjian saw that the disciples of the First Elder, Wei Wuji and Si Yunxiang, as well as the disciples and students of the other four elders, were also waiting, a large group of people crowded together.

Upon seeing him arrive, Wei Wuji laughed and said, "Oh, isn't this our genius Senior Brother Ye? What's wrong? Weren't you at the peak of the ninth level of the Profound Core Realm before? How come you've regressed to the first level of the Profound Vein Realm now? Oh, I remember now, your dantian was destroyed, so you're just a mortal. Your master took pity on you and let you start cultivating again. I just wonder how long it will take to cultivate back to the Profound Core Realm from the first level of the Profound Vein Realm?"

Si Yunxiang pretended to dissuade him, but Wei Wuji pushed him away: "Hmph, what's there to be afraid of with a cripple like him?"

Bai Yueling stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Wei, you clearly know that Senior Brother Ye's dantian was damaged by someone's sneak attack before, and this time his dantian was destroyed again because he saved Senior Brother Shen, yet you still deliberately make fun of him. You are taking advantage of his misfortune!"

Ye Yunjian remembered Wei Wuji very clearly. Although he was a disciple of the Grand Elder, he was actually an accomplice of Si Yunxiang. In his previous life, because his cultivation was inferior to his own, Si Yunxiang harbored jealousy and always opposed him.

Even in the end, when Situ Jiuxiao destroyed his own soul, he and Si Yunxiang secretly played a part in it.

Hmph, what a small world!

However, it wasn't the right time to attack him now. He had just recovered to the Profound Meridian Realm, and he would definitely make him taste his own bitterness when the opportunity arose. Just then, the Discipline Elder walked out from the Profound Fire Hall and shouted, "The Profound Fire Hall is an important place of the sect; no noise is allowed!"

So everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, entering the hall one by one in an orderly fashion! Wei Wuji was also a little nervous and quickly lowered his head.

Ye Yunjian, guided by Bai Yueling, walked directly into the main hall.

"Disciple Ye Yunjian!"

"Disciple Bai Yueling!"

"We have come on the orders of the Sect Master and the Grand Elder!" Ye Yunjian and Bai Yueling said in unison.

"Enter!"

A strong, resonant voice came from the main hall; it was the voice of the Grand Elder.

Wei Wuji and Si Yunxiang were still waiting in line to enter when they saw Ye Yunjian and the others being summoned directly by the sect leader and the first elder. They were furious but helpless. Ye Yunjian didn't even glance at them and led Bai Yueling into the hall.

Entering the familiar yet unfamiliar Xuanhuo Hall, Ye Yunjian couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

Since the tragic deaths of his senior sister, senior brother, and junior sister in his previous life, many strange things have happened in the entire sect. Everyone in the sect is puzzled. Although the Grand Elder and other elders, protectors, envoys and others have been trying to investigate, Situ Jiuxiao has issued a prohibition.
