Looking at it this way, it seems the disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect aren't so incapable after all. They are beings that cannot be killed!

"How about we discuss something?" Luo Yuan suddenly spoke up. "You're the Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect. Why don't you take me in as well? I may not have other skills, but I'm quite confident in my knowledge of arrays, you see..."

"Impossible!" Xu Nian shook his head. "You should know my stance towards you!"

Hearing this, Luo Yuan started to panic. He had noticed that there was something extraordinary about the Profound Yellow Sect, and it might even be related to the legendary path of Reincarnation. If he could join the Profound Yellow Sect, perhaps he wouldn't have to worry about death anymore. Then he could strut around outside and even curse the Sect Leader of the Great Dream Immortal Sect by pointing at their head!

How domineering!

"Come on, I'm really quite powerful!" Luo Yuan said hurriedly. "I'm still a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. You don't have anyone at the Nascent Soul Realm to preside over things yet. Keeping me would bring only benefits and no harm!"

"I said, impossible!" Xu Nian gently shook his head.

Keeping Luo Yuan would be like creating trouble for myself. Only a fool would do such a thing. Even when considering someone like Lin Chen, whom Junlin had mentioned, I wouldn't want Luo Yuan to stay. This man is clearly a born rebel; he can't be kept!

"Why? Don't worry about me posing a threat to you. I can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath!" Luo Yuan said quickly. "You should believe in a Heavenly Dao Oath, right? If I were to harm a single person from the Profound Yellow Sect, that would be going against the Heavenly Dao, and then..."

Before he could finish, he saw Xu Nian pull a book, about an inch thick, from his sleeve and toss it directly at him.

"Go ahead and swear then," Xu Nian said indifferently. "Just swear according to what's written in here."

Looking at the book before him, Luo Yuan suddenly had a terrible feeling. He flipped it open, glanced at a page, and felt a chill run down his spine.

"I, (Name), hereby swear that from this moment, I will unconditionally join the Profound Yellow Sect, work diligently for the development of the Sect every day, and also fulfill the following covenants..."

The densely packed covenants made Luo Yuan's head ache.

What kind of nonsense is this? You had this prepared in advance, didn't you? A book this thick, all filled with the content of Heavenly Dao Oaths? Are you insane? Who in their right mind would swear such a lengthy Heavenly Dao Oath? Is this a lack of trust in the Heavenly Dao, to block every single possible loophole? Just look at this content! Descendants must unconditionally do three things for the Profound Yellow Sect? And if they refuse, they'll suffer the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder striking them for three days and three nights?! Damn it! I'm the one making the vow, what does it have to do with my descendants? Isn't this too ruthless?

"Xu Nian, did you write all this yourself?" Luo Yuan asked, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Xu Nian nodded. "Prepared it yesterday, just in case. I didn't expect to use it today. It's still not comprehensive enough. I'll have to add some more later."

Not comprehensive enough? Luo Yuan's face turned deathly pale. He had never imagined he would see such a day in his life. His ancestors for eighteen generations were implicated, and so were the Sect's powers. And he calls this not comprehensive enough? After making this oath, wouldn't it be like he had sold out the Great Dream Immortal Sect?

But thinking about the Profound Yellow Sect's situation, Luo Yuan calmed down.

Sold out is sold out then. Cooperating with the Profound Yellow Sect might not be a bad thing for the Great Dream Immortal Sect. Perhaps the Sect Leader and the others would even praise him.

"Fine, I agree!" Luo Yuan said in a deep voice. "But you must treat me equally and not isolate me as a new disciple!"

"Don't worry. The Profound Yellow Sect never bullies its own people!" Xu Nian looked at him, somewhat surprised. He's really willing to swear all this? A ruthless character indeed.

For the next half an hour, Luo Yuan held up his hand, staring at the book in front of him, and began to swear, word by word. The half-hour-long oath left Luo Yuan's mouth parched and dry. Not until he felt an indescribable aura settle upon him did he finally lower the book, grab the teapot, and start drinking.

What an ordeal! Such an ordeal! He never wanted to go through an oath like that again in his life.

「Inside the Great Dream Immortal Sect in the Southern Continent.」

In the Great Hall, suffused with Spiritual Qi, Sect Leader Meng Fenggu's expression suddenly changed while he was discussing matters with the Elders. It wasn't just him; the faces of all the Elders from the Great Dream Immortal Sect had also turned unsightly.

"Is this... the aura of the Heavenly Dao?" Meng Fenggu stood up abruptly and said in a stern voice, "Why would the aura of the Heavenly Dao appear in our Great Dream Immortal Sect, and why does it involve everyone? Could someone be trying to sever the future of our Sect?"

As seekers of immortality, what they feared most was the Heavenly Dao's thunder tribulation during Ascension. With good luck, a wave of tribulation lightning could lead to Ascension to the Immortal Realm. But bad luck could lead to death and the destruction of their Dao! Any Heavenly Dao Oaths sworn in the past would be settled at this moment. The Heavenly Dao could be said to be an existence that loomed over everyone's head. Fair, just, and open!

Now, the entire Great Dream Immortal Sect had drawn the attention of the Heavenly Dao. This aura was that of the legendary Nine Heavens Divine Thunder! This was a tribulation that hadn't appeared for thousands of years. If the oath was violated, who could possibly survive it? A single bolt of purple lightning could take a life!

"Investigate!" Meng Fenggu ordered with a cold voice. "Find out who has been targeted by the Heavenly Dao, implicating the entire Sect! Once you find him, break his legs for me!"
