Are You Addicted to Being Punished or Something?

Feng Fei was stunned when he received the news...

Um... I went to talk to you guys before, and you didn't listen to a single word?

Chu Xinghe didn't know what Feng Fei Chu Xinghe was thinking; all he knew was that all the Civil Engineering Department disciples were acting like they'd been injected with adrenaline.

Good heavens, normally after finishing their daily work, the Civil Engineering Department students would just collapse anywhere like dead dogs...

But today, the Civil Engineering Department went all out, showing no fear of hardship or fatigue, and refused to sleep until they pushed the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele to its limit!

Huang Ritian kept encouraging his fellow students in the Civil Engineering Department, saying, "Huang Ritian Give me some extra effort, fellow students!"

This is one of the few times we can be put in solitary confinement... If we can just push the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele to its limit and it explodes, no one can save us... We're definitely going to be put in solitary confinement!

Imagine being locked up in solitary confinement... We would all be thrown into the back mountains and locked up, where we could sleep until we naturally woke up every day, without having to do any work, just lying around would be enough!

Can you even imagine such a wonderful life?

Hearing Huang Ritian's words, the eyes of many Civil Engineering Department students were filled with longing!

Huang Ritian's words greatly encouraged the Civil Engineering Department disciples, and countless of the Civil Engineering Department even went to the Vast Heaven Divine Domain to find the Mining disciples and ask them to work harder...

Faced with the urging of the Civil Engineering Department students, the mining students were moved to tears...

Dear fellow disciples... we, the miners, beg you to have some decency...

We miners' children used to say life was tough, but we never imagined it would be this tough...

Whether the Civil Engineering Department disciples are on vacation or not, the Mining Disciples don't know, but ever since the Spirit Beast Continent's mineral veins were created and Senior Brother Xinghe took action, the Mining Disciples haven't had a break...

Mining in the Spirit Beast Continent used to be okay, but now mining in the Vast Heaven Divine Domain is a real nightmare!

Because the Spiritual Qi here is so abundant, there's not even a need for rest, and it won't cause any major problems...

So the mining disciples now have less than three hours of rest each day... but even the Civil Engineering Department seniors haven't chosen to let them off the hook...

The senior students in the Civil Engineering Department are practically begging to go to the Vast Heaven Divine Domain to be supervisors... Whether the Civil Engineering Department students get a holiday or not, the Mining students don't know, but the Mining students know that if the Civil Engineering Department students don't get a holiday, they probably won't get one either...

Under the supervision of the Civil Engineering Department disciples, the number of Nine-Colored Spirit Stones collected by the Mining disciples also increased rapidly.

All the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones that were collected were sent to the Extreme Realm Dao Field...

As more and more Nine-Colored Spirit Stones were thrown into the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele, the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele has now begun to emit various colors of light... It looks as if it is about to burst open.

Seeing the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele about to burst, Huang Ritian immediately sought out Senior Brother Xinghe. Huang Ritian patted his chest and assured Senior Brother Xinghe that although it was Senior Brother Xinghe who entrusted the Civil Engineering Department with managing the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele, injecting so many spirit stones into it was entirely the idea of the Civil Engineering Department disciples themselves.

Therefore, we, the students of the Civil Engineering Department, are determined to bear all the punishments and will absolutely not cause any trouble for Senior Brother Xinghe!

If anyone's going to be put in solitary confinement, it should be the students of the Civil Engineering Department!

Chu Xinghe immediately became anxious upon hearing Huang Ritian's words...

Huang Ritian, what the hell are you talking to me about?

What? You're taking all the blame yourself? Are you trying to steal my punishment?

Let me tell you, although this idea came from your Civil Engineering Department disciples, you clearly stated that the management rights of the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele were given to you by me Chu Xinghe. Now that something has gone wrong, you want to ditch me, Chu Xinghe?

No way!

This is at most a secondary responsibility on your Civil Engineering Department, the main responsibility must lie with me, Chu Xinghe!

When it comes to being punished, I, Chu Xinghe, must take the lion's share!

Huang Ritian he almost wet himself when Senior Brother Xinghe insisted on taking the lion's share of the punishment at the slightest disagreement!

Huang Ritian looked at Senior Brother Xinghe and said righteously, "Senior Brother Xinghe... don't go too far!"

All the decisions were made by us, the students of the Civil Engineering Department, and we were the Civil Engineering Department, be the ones punished in the end...? Senior Brother Xinghe... if you could just have some pity on us, wouldn't it be better to give us, the students of the Civil Engineering Department, the chance to be punished this time?

There's really no need for them to argue with us!

Chu Xinghe and Huang Ritian argued heatedly about who should take primary responsibility and who should take secondary responsibility.

The Rogue Cultivators who were still trying to comprehend the Dao were completely bewildered by the argument...

Is this the legendary Vast Heaven Sect?

Listen to what Chu Xinghe and Huang Ritian are saying—is that even human language?

I've seen people steal credit... but who the hell has ever seen someone steal punishment?

If you go to other sects, you'll see situations where good ideas from lower-level disciples are implemented, but the credit is stolen by some cunning senior brothers. This kind of thing is common in every sect. Even some sect leaders will secretly help their personal disciples seize more credit to consolidate their position in the sect...

But look at the Vast Heaven Sect's side... who's ever seen such a blatant attempt to steal punishment?

And how come you guys manage to make vying for punishment seem even more exciting than vying for credit?

Listen to Chu Xinghe's conversation with the Civil Engineering Department disciples; it's completely beyond the realm of human dialogue! They've even started threatening each other!

Chu Xinghe: "Fellow junior brothers in the Civil Engineering Department, I advise you not to be ungrateful! I, Chu Xinghe, am determined to take this punishment. If you honestly hand it over, I, your Senior Brother Xinghe, might remember you. Senior Brother Xinghe, don't blame me for resorting to some underhanded methods!"

The Civil Engineering Department said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, don't push your luck! This mistake was the result of our hard work, and we will never let anyone else take it away from us, not even you, Senior Brother Xinghe. We, the Civil Engineering Department disciples, will live and die with this mistake!"

Chu Xinghe: "Fine... fine... you Civil Engineering Department disciples have quite the nerve... trying to take my punishment away from me, Chu Xinghe. You probably don't know what I, Chu Xinghe, can do. We're all fellow disciples, don't push me!"

Civil Engineering Department disciple said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, you don't need to say anything. Justice resides in the hearts of the people. We have already preserved all kinds of evidence in this matter. If you want to get punishment from us without lifting a finger, you're dreaming! If the sect elders favor our Civil Engineering Department disciples this time, we will appeal to the Grand Elder and even to the Sect Master to get back the punishment we, the Civil Engineering Department disciples, have lost!"

Enlightened beings from all sides. "???"

Tears streamed down the faces of all the enlightened ones... This sounded so familiar, like a conversation between powerful disciples of some sects or Lineage vying for the credit of their subordinates...

Many people's first reaction upon hearing this conversation was that Chu Xinghe was utterly shameless... openly trying to steal the... wrongdoings of a Civil Engineering Department student?

Wait a minute... I've seen people fight over credit and tear each other apart, but what the hell is this about fighting over punishment and tearing each other apart?

Is this the kind of conversation that normal humans would have?

But after listening for a while, everyone realized that Chu Xinghe was almost fighting with the Civil Engineering Department students... and the reason for the fight was rather absurd... was it because of a dispute over punishment?

Is this the Vast Heaven Sect?

Other factions fight shamelessly for credit, but your Vast Heaven Sect fights so desperately for punishment that it's become this pathetic.

Are you addicted to being punished?

Just as Chu Xinghe and many disciples of the Civil Engineering Department were on the verge of exchanging blows, a loud bang shook the entire Extreme Realm Dao Field!

"Boom!"

The terrifying explosion swept through the entire Extreme Realm Dao Field, stunning all the cultivators present...

At this moment, the many cultivators finally realized what Chu Xinghe and the Civil Engineering Department disciples had been fighting over...

Are they fighting over the punishment for blowing up the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele?

Isn't this a bit too outrageous? We can't even understand what your Vast Heaven Sect is doing!

Just as the cultivators were completely bewildered, the disciples of the Civil Engineering Department cheered and rushed towards the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Huang Ritian shouted, "We did it! We did it!"

Before Huang Ritian could even shout a few more times... a flash of inspiration suddenly illuminated the entire night sky!

The location where this spiritual light appeared was the same spot where the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele had previously been. At this very moment, a beam of spiritual light shot straight up into the sky from the location where the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele had originally exploded!

Chu Xinghe was overjoyed to hear the explosion and rushed to the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele, eager to see the destroyed Extreme Realm Heaven Stele as soon as possible.

But when Chu Xinghe arrived, he found that the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele was not only standing there perfectly fine... but a pillar of light that pierced the sky had appeared at the very top of the original Extreme Realm Heaven Stele... and this pillar of light was now forming a small vortex around the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele.

This small vortex continuously absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all directions and finally poured it into the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele. With the appearance of this spiritual light, the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele seemed to have formed a new connection with heaven and earth, and the Great Dao of heaven and earth contained within it became clearer!

It should be understood that the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele was created by Shu Da based on his memories. However, because the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele contains too many Great Daos, Shu Da can only remember a part of them. Therefore, the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele is actually an incomplete version of the Great Daos of Heaven and Earth.

But now, perhaps due to the influence of too many Nine-Colored Spirit Stones, the power of the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele has been completely activated, connecting the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele with the Heavenly Dao in the dark. The Heavenly Dao seems to have sensed the power of the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele and is constantly repairing the missing part of the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele!

The sudden burst of spiritual light shook the entire Vast Heaven Sect. Even the sect leader rushed out of the Haotian Palace, leading the Grand Elder and many heads of various palaces of the Vast Heaven Sect to the Extreme Realm Dao Field at the first opportunity.

When they saw the pillar of light surging from the Extreme Realm Heaven Stele and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth constantly being repaired, many of the Vast Heaven Sect's bigwigs were dumbfounded!

"This... you did this?" The Grand Elder looked at Xinghe and the many disciples of the Civil Engineering Department with a look of astonishment.

Chu Xinghe: "It wasn't me! It was a student from the Civil Engineering Department who did it!"

Civil Engineering Department students. "It wasn't us! It was Senior Brother Xinghe who did it!"

The audience. "???"
