The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 35: Restriction

Upon consuming the pill, Ye Ming thought he would undergo some amazing changes.

Changes such as suddenly experiencing being drowned in a magnificent scene or a transformation in appearance.

However, after waiting for a few minutes, there was nothing of the sort except for his taste buds.

"A soda-like flavor huh." He clicked his tongue a few times to taste the lingering flavor. He had thought the pill would be bitter, but it was actually quite tasty.

Once again, his prejudice and bias caused him to feel foolish.

Who said pills had to be bitter?

They could also be very flavorful depending on the alchemist.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

Suddenly, Ye Ming heard someone shouting for him a few times and became startled.

He snapped out of his daze and turned to Qing Lan. He was about to say something until he got hit with some flashback scenes.

Scenes of her being a lively woman who was doing chores at home. It was peaceful initially until an arrogant voice came echoing.

Their face wasn't that of an ugly bastard, but their demeanor and tone completely displayed them as the arrogant spoiled brat. They were scolding and reprimanding her for being slow in her chores.

Ye Ming was so sick of such a cliche scene. Maybe because he was no longer interested, but his vision soon returned and he spotted Qing Lan holding a worried look.

"Young Master, are you alright?" She called out in a panic.

"Y-Yeah... why wouldn't I be alright?" Confused, Ye Ming didn't understand her panicking. Was he such a fragile Young Master in the past?

"Phew, thank heaven. You've been out of a daze for half an hour already, Young Master." Qing Lan breathed out a sigh of relief. She then explained how after he consumed the pill, the atmosphere in the office changed.

A few seconds later, he became unresponsive, frightening her deeply. She attempted to help him regain his consciousness and even tried to call for help, only to discover the space itself was locked.

Unable to look for help, she tried to disrupt him personally, only to end up being restrained beside her mouth.

"Ahh, so you've been calling me Young Master for half an hour straight?" Ye Ming twitched his mouth in disbelief.

What dedication and determination must one do to continue to spout the same word over and over again? Unless it was done for clout such as counting from 1 to 100,000, then no one else would be that crazy.

However, it appeared that a cultivator's determination and dedication were indeed numerous times greater than a mortal.

"Even if I have to call for a myriad of years, I'd still do it." Qing Lan clenched her hand tightly. It was clear that she was serious about her words.

"Ahem, I see." Ye Ming cleared his throat in response. He didn't know how to respond to that kind of loyalty so he preferred to brush it aside. It wasn't that he didn't acknowledge her loyalty, but he was still not used to it.

Despite his glamorous-like behavior, the truth was that he tried to mask it. After all, he was just someone in the bottom pit, just living his life without much will prior to his return here.

"By the way, Young Master... I think the clan meeting has already begun." Qing Lan felt the need to remind him. Thanks to the abnormality from Ye Ming's consumption of the pill, she failed to recognize the time.

Contrary to her haste though, Ye Ming didn't care much.

"I don't plan on attending it yet." He calmly revealed.

"Is it because of the list from Elder Ye Chang?" She inquired.

Nodding, Ye Ming didn't expect her to understand his thought process. Currently, he refused to assimilate with his memory which meant that he had no idea of any members in the Ye Clan.

Therefore, he had an unbiased judgment. Furthermore, Ye Chang was known for his rigid and strict rules. In other words, the list that he had compiled of the criminals was authentic.

There was no need for Ye Chang to falsify anything either.

"I don't know how long the list will take though." He confessed. "If Elder Ye Chang doesn't have the list then we might as well delay the Clan Meeting."

"Eh, but everyone should have gathered there already."

"So?"

Qing Lan was rendered speechless when she became positive that the gathering in the Clan Meeting might really be delayed or moved to another time slot. All that because Ye Ming chose not to recall his clan members.

'But why do I feel like the Young Master is more dazzling in this way?' She wondered if his bad influence had affected her now.

Sometime later, the atmosphere started to turn more and more awkward for Qing Lan. Her eyes darted at the windows outside. It was noon already.

As time was ticking down. Ye Ming showed zero sign of hurry.

'Hmm, the Lower World is more troublesome than I thought.' Rather than being concerned by the Clan Meeting, he was more focused on the Heavenly Dao System.

Apparently, there was an attempt just now of someone trying to cut open the Heavenly Dao by a cultivator. To his astonishment, the incident occurred in Tianwu Country—the country where Qing Lan originated.

He had listed it as a high priority, which was why he received the news so quickly.

'Another arrogant cultivator who thinks they could just smear dirt on the Heavenly Dao. Let's see how good you are.' He sneered inwardly and strengthened the Heavenly Eye and Dao in Tianwu Country.

And just as a security measure, Ye Ming imposed a strict formation and lockdown on the world. Without his permission from there on, individual cultivators who tried to ascend would be blasted back down.

This was the punishment he had decided upon the world's cultivators.

However, he wasn't done yet.

"HD, restrict the qi in Tianwu Country. Announce to the world there that unless they capture the arrogant cultivator who tried to cut open the sky, then they shall be barred and isolated from ever feeling qi again." Ye Ming hereby declared, his eyes filled with a dense coldness.
