Chapter 118: Punishment, Copy 3,000 Times
At Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, on Sacred Leader Mountain, inside the Sacred Leader Palace...
The Sacred Leader was sitting on the throne, enshrouded within lightning and heavenly aura.
Beneath the throne was an old Taoist priest with a long face. “Junior Brother, you deceived me!”
The Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura fluctuated slightly. He asked, “Why does Senior Brother say such a thing? When have I deceived you?”
Azure Lotus snorted. “The three conditions we discussed were in exchange for the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant, right?”
The Sacred Leader nodded. “Yes, but Senior Brother has yet to give the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant to me.”
Azure Lotus felt wronged. “But, haven’t I already given you a copy of the heritage within? In that case, isn’t the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant just a token to you? In the past 10,000 years of our sacred ground, it’s not only Junior Brother that did not possess the token.”
The Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura gradually calmed down. “So, Senior Brother was speaking of this matter.”
Azure Lotus was puzzled. “If not, which matter did you think I was talking about? Is there anything else?”
The Sacred Leader shook his head. “No. So Senior Brother still wants me to reward you even though you lost the Drager Pendant?”
Azure Lotus snorted. “Previously, I got caught up in your logic, but these are two separate things. The Drager Pendant was used to exchange for the Spirit Mountain.
“Now, even though the Drager Pendant is lost, Senior Brother should give me the 1,000,000 Spirit Stones for saving your daughter and 500,000 Spirit Stones for the Great Golden-Winged Eagle’s thigh!”
The Sacred Leader nodded. “Indeed, I should reward you for saving Xiao’er and giving her the eagle’s thigh.
“However, Senior Brother, don’t forget that Xiao’er handed you the Drager Pendant to you to safeguard it. Yet, you’ve lost it.
“Although it symbolizes the Sacred Leader’s token, that does not make it important. However, the Drager Pendant’s original value is much higher than this bit of Spirit Stones, right!
“Senior Brother, in your opinion, what is the suitable amount of compensation, in the form of Spirit Stones, that Xiao’er should ask from you?”
After the Sacred Leader finished, Azure Lotus’ expression instantly turned very interesting.
“Junior Brother, just take it that I did not come today. I’ll take my leave!”
Azure Lotus turned and quickly walked toward the Sacred Leader Palace’s exit upon saying that.
The Sacred Leader calmly said, “Actually, if Senior Brother wants to earn Spirit Stones, it’s very simple.”
Azure Lotus instantly stopped and forced out a smile. “Junior Brother, please just get straight to the point.”
The Sacred Leader said, “Senior Brother, do you remember what I’ve said before? Shen Tian is the true Son of Providence. As long as Senior Brother is willing to guide his Body Tempering cultivation wholeheartedly and has a good relationship with him, then you will definitely be able to improve your luck. Your opportunities will be endless.”
The smile on Azure Lotus’s face gradually froze. “Haha, do you think I’m dumb? In this half a month that the kid has become the Saint, he has become the center of attention. Who knows how many disciples are complaining?
“I think that when Fang Chang exits seclusion, he will most likely go and beat up that kid. Before he could become proficient in the Tinder Sutra, he is already this unlucky.”
“Senior Brother, you still say that he is the Son of Providence? It’s simply a joke.
“You want me to take that kid as my disciple? Impossible!”
The Sacred Leader asked helplessly, “Senior Brother, are you really sure?”
Azure Lotus pursed his lips. “When have I ever regretted my words?”
The Sacred Leader replied calmly, “This time, you’ll definitely regret it, and it’ll be very soon.”
Azure Lotus scoffed. “You want to fool me? If I regret it, I’ll be the son of a b*tch!”
Just as he finished, Azure Lotus frowned. Why did he feel that he had said such a thing quite a few times already?
At that moment, a loud banging sound echoed from a distance.
Boom!
The lightning and heavenly aura surrounding the Sacred Leader flashed faintly, his line of sight piercing through the void.
He said calmly, “It’s the Saint Mountain. As expected, Fang Chang, this simpleton has gone to find Shen Tian’s trouble after coming out of seclusion.”
Azure Lotus said while gloating over what he heard, “See? Senior Brother, I’ve said that that kid definitely has bad luck. An unlucky fella that cultivates the Tinder Sutra, how could he possibly be the Son of Providence? That kid hasn’t been crippled by Fang Chang already, right?”
The Sacred Leader calmly replied, “No, but instead, after you taught Fang Chang the Body Tempering Art a few days, he’s become more and more...”
The Sacred Leader’s lightning and heavenly aura fluctuated yet again. He had actually sighed, which was a rare occurrence.
He gradually took a step, and instantly, a void door appeared in front of him.
The Sacred Leader stepped into the void door and disappeared from the Sacred Leader Palace, traveling tens of thousands of meters with just one step.
When the void door appeared once again, the Sacred Leader had already appeared on top of the Saint Mountain, outside that mighty lightning array.
Currently, the surroundings of the Saint Mountain had been filled with curious melon-seed-eating crowds. They were all looking at the battle between Shen Tian and Fang Chang.
“Wow, the new Lord Saint is finally going to fight against our First Senior Brother? I’ve been anticipating it for half a month.”
“First Senior Brother is no good! Before even breaking the array, he has already charged toward it, starting the battle.”
“What do you mean by ‘First Senior Brother is no good’? As a fighter, one should be fearless!”
“So what if he tried to forcibly charge in through the array? Can a cultivator achieve Immortal Ascension by cowering in fear?”
“You’re right. It’s the new Saint who is avoiding the fight and still hiding in the protective array. How can our sacred ground’s Saint not have the courage to even accept the challenge? He’s too disappointing!”
“This should be our sacred ground’s most cowardly Saint! What if he actually becomes the Sacred Leader?”
“You’re overthinking, Junior Brother. The Sacred Leader is the most outstanding and powerful person chosen among 10 Saints. As such, previous Saints are also candidates.”
“After today’s battle, the onlooking disciples will most likely not have much respect for this Saint. Can he still fight for the Sacred Leader position?”
“That’s right! How could ever recognize a Saint that does not dare to even face a challenge?”
“Haha, then you can only recognize a simpleton like First Senior Brother that only has brawns but no brains? He knew that the protective array could block even Soul Formation cultivators, yet he still stupidly charged into it. Given our First Senior Brother’s brains, if he becomes the Sacred Leader, then our sacred ground would truly be in danger!”
“That’s right. I think that the new Saint is quite good. He’s full of wisdom.”
“Since he could use his brains to solve it, then why must he fight with First Senior Brother?”
“What is more important is that the new Saint is obviously more handsome! That’s the visual that our sacred ground should have!”
“That’s right. I’m so envious of Senior Sister Yunxi!”
“Ah! Such an eye-piercing light of lighting?”
“It’s the Sacred Leader! He exited seclusion and came here!”
“Everyone, stop talking! Prepare to greet the Sacred Leader!”
...
“We greet the arrival of the Sacred Leader!”
Seeing that the Sacred Leader had appeared, the many disciples that were originally chattering hurriedly bowed.
All the disciples viewed this legendary Sacred Leader, who led the sacred ground to prosperity by himself, with unparalleled reverence.
The Sacred Leader nodded slightly. His body was hidden within the endless lightning and heavenly aura—it was as if a god controlling lightning had descended.
He looked toward the Saint Mountain coldly and slowly raised his right hand, gently flicking his finger.
The radiant ten divine beasts made of lightning instantly dispersed into nothingness.
Meanwhile, Fang Chang, who had been burnt black by the lightning, was finally free.
The Sacred Leader looked at Fang Chang, who was unyielding and fuming with rage and had a despotic expression. His voice was void of the slightest trace of emotions.
“Fang Chang, you’ve broken the rule as a true disciple and trespassed the Saint Mountain. I punish you to face the wall for one month and copy our sect’s rules 3,000 times. You’re not allowed to use Dharma spells and not allowed to let Yunting help you copy. I can recognize your handwriting.”
Just as the Sacred Leader finished, Fang Chang, who was originally unyielding... The despotic expression on his face disappeared!
