The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 36: Clan Hall

The Heavenly Eye was considered a proxy or an envoy for the Heavenly Dao. While Heavenly Dao was the overseer of the world, it was technically the Heavenly Eye that revealed itself occasionally.

And if the Heavenly Eye accumulated enough qi to breakthrough, then it was possible for it to be promoted as a lower-grade Heavenly Dao.

Similar to how cultivators had cultivation realms, Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Thunder, etc all have their own unique set of realms as well.

The Heavenly Eye that was injured in Tianwu Country—if calculated based on the cultivation realm, then it would be in the 2nd rank of the Middle World: Heaven Ascension Realm.

2 rank higher than the max capacity of the Lower World's cultivation realm, which should have been sufficient to suppress those who wanted to cause chaos.

However, thanks to his absence. The lack of sufficient support from him inevitably resulted in cultivators slowly being able to surpass the Lower World's cultivation realm yet didn't ascend.

These types of cultivators were the most nuisance, given their cultivation realm exceeded the world's level and were now considered a threat to the Heavenly Eye.

Due to that, the Tianwu Country's Heavenly Eye suffered because of this variable, prompting Ye Ming to impose heavy punishment.

Heavenly Eye was neutral to the world and only adhered to the rules and laws established by him. For them to disregard that and injure it was equivalent to face-slapping him.

How could he allow them to get away scot-free now that he had returned?

Ye Ming finished managing the system panel and turned to her. He then asked softly, "Qing Lan, you have no lingering ties for the Tianwu Country, right?"

Startled, Qing Lan didn't know why he suddenly switched the topic from the Clan Meeting to the Tianwu Country. Nevertheless, she nodded her head.

"It's been so long since I ventured there. Most of the things that I cherish have long decayed from the passage of time." She responded.

"Good, then you wouldn't care if I take back the world's qi from them." He snapped his fingers. "One arrogant cultivator from there just tried to split open the sky and injured the Heavenly Eye. This is my retaliation to them."

Although a bit taken aback by the decision, Qing Lan ultimately accepted the judgment. Her eyes were crystal clear and tranquil.

"Young Master's judgment is always right." She proclaimed.

"Mhmm, so the Clan Meeting might be canceled."

"Uh.... That wouldn't be nice though. The clan members were forced to drop their duties to attend it."

"Eh, but you just said I'm always right." Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders.

Stunned, Qing Lan came to a realization that she had to be cautious of her wording from now on. 'The Young Master is way too witty and sharp.'

Her understanding of the current Ye Ming could have been said to be a blank sheet. Originally, it was a sheet filled with text, but a delete button had been pressed and there was no undo button.

To summarize, she had to clear out all the previous demeanor and personality of Ye Ming in the past.

She had to do a reboot and start to pay attention to his behavior from scratch. Otherwise, she might no longer be qualified to stay as his maid.

Without knowing when and how—Qing Lan also became distracted in her thoughts. As both of them were focused on their own things, time quickly went by.

Clan Hall

Within the Clan Hall, it was filled with over 20,000 people.

Despite this, it remained spacious, and no one was cramped up.

Nevertheless, that didn't mean the atmosphere was great.

"What's going on with today's clan meeting?" One of the younger generation assigned at the seat way back asked in disbelief.

"I've heard rumors that the heir has returned so this meeting was commenced in a rush." Another person chimed in.

"Ugh, it's the heir but he's nowhere to be seen. Didn't they say the meeting was an hour ago?"

"Who knows? The elders aren't saying much and the Clan Leader seemed to be more frustrated than us. It's best to just keep quiet and enjoy the food for now."

The younger generations were talkative and decided to use the time to discuss their activity. It was quite rare for them to all gather in one spot after all. Normally, such things were for celebrations.

Naturally, the cause of celebrations must also be extremely significant. They were completely different from the inferior clans who would celebrate just because their youngster broke through a minor or major realm.

While the younger generations were lost in their own track, the upper side where elders were being placed began to be annoyed.

"How could the heir be late to a meeting meant for him?" An elder voiced their frustration aloud. They were busy with many tasks but still made time to attend the meeting. Yet over an hour had passed by, but there were still no signs of Ye Ming.

Not to mention them, even Ye Xuan was stupefied by his son's extreme lateness.

"He was never late to these kinds of meetings, so what's with him?" Ye Xuan murmured in shock. He didn't expect his son to change so much—to the point of even neglecting the clan meeting.

"Wife, are you sure we shouldn't send people to get him?" He turned his attention to Ye Qing Lei, who held an elegant composure as she calmly sipped some tea.

"He'll come here when the time is right." She responded softly.

"When the time is right? But it already went past the time..."

"The time we set is different from the time he set." Ye Qing Lei mused and pointed something out for him. "Have you not noticed an elder was also absent?"

"Eh?" Startled, Ye Xuan quickly scanned the Clan Hall and noticed Ye Chang wasn't present. He then recalled the issue in his main office and nearly shattered his teacup.

"It can't be that he's waiting for the list to make a move in the Clan Meeting, right?" He muttered in shock, his eyes gazing at the clan hall filled with members of his clan.

One could already imagine the chaos it would cause.
