Mistake: The Discipline Main Hall
"Beyond this Grotto-Heaven lies such a large lake; the terrain is quite impressive," Li Yunjing murmured to himself.
If this lake is used properly, it can become the foundation of the Luozhen Sect.
So Li Yunjing encountered another problem: how to maximize the potential of this lake.
However, this is a question that needs to be considered later, and Li Yunjing will not think about it for now.
After carefully putting away the land reclamation map, Li Yunjing took out the land reclamation certificate.
This is a flag; once planted in the Great Wilderness, it defines the area to be reclaimed.
The reclaimed lands subsequently developed by the Luozhen Sect were protected by the Immortal Alliance.
It is something that no one else can covet.
After putting away the flag, Li Yunjing took out the last item: the intelligence report.
The intelligence was recorded in a Jade Slip, Jade Slip was also protected by a restriction that only specific people could access.
Li Yunjing was that specific person.
After breaking the seal, Li Yunjing was able to see the contents inside.
It's news from Corpse King Valley.
Li Yunjing asked Xiao Tianxing to investigate the matter of Corpse King Valley.
Xiao Tianxing successfully obtained information about Corpse King Valley through his connections.
It includes the latest developments of Corpse King Valley, which Corpse King Valley cultivators are active in, and so on.
Although there was a lot of information, Li Yunjing did not find anything related to the Annan Kingdom.
The cultivators of Corpse King Valley and the Ancient Hidden Sect will sacrifice themselves to the Annan Kingdom to fulfill their own destiny.
How could the Immortal Alliance overlook something so significant?
Li Yunjing frowned immediately.
Not only was this matter overlooked, but even the movements of the Corpse King Valley cultivator who was killed by Li Yunjing were not recorded.
That cultivator was recorded; his name was Huang Jue, a direct disciple of a Supreme Elder of Corpse King Valley.
Because he had a Supreme Elder as his master, Huang Jue stripped the golden armor off one of the founders of Corpse King Valley and put it on himself.
With the aid of Secret Method, Huang Jue's strength became quite good within Corpse King Valley.
According to the Immortal Alliance's records, Huang Jue is currently still cultivating in Corpse King Valley.
However, Li Yunjing encountered Huang Jue in the Annan Kingdom and killed him.
Unless Huang Jue can split himself into two, something must have gone wrong on one of them.
"It seems this intelligence can't be completely trusted either," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
Since that's the case, Li Yunjing will have no choice but to find out the information himself.
Li Yunjing plans to travel to Carefree Heaven at some time.
There are plenty of intelligence brokers there, and Li Yunjing is confident he can find satisfactory information.
Crushing the Jade Slip slip, Li Yunjing ensured that the information would not be leaked.
Then, Li Yunjing went to the Discipline Hall.
When Li Yunjing arrived at the main hall of the Discipline Hall, he was amazed by the sight of the main hall.
The main hall sits squarely in the center, lacking the upturned eaves and gilded ornaments of the other halls in the sect. Instead, it is cast from ten-thousand-year-old Mystic Ice rock mixed with meteorite iron.
The entire structure was as dark as an abyss, except for the dark gold runes embedded in the beams, pillars, and eaves. It usually concealed its brilliance, but only when Divine Sense swept over it did it suddenly light up with a cold light that could slay evil and suppress demons.
The roof of the palace was not covered with glazed tiles, but was a single piece of seamless Xuantie dome, engraved with the Zhoutian Star Dou Grand Formation. The patterns were in harmony with the Principle of heaven and earth, and even the Divine Sense of Spirit Transformation High Person could not penetrate it silently.
The 360 Cold Iron steps in front of the hall correspond to the number of the heavens, and each step is engraved with an ironclad rule of the sect, with the pressure increasing layer by layer from bottom to top.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples would find it difficult to even get close, and even Nascent Soul Cultivator who stepped onto it would feel their souls firmly locked by an invisible force, unable to generate even the slightest delusional thought.
There are no auspicious stone carvings on either side of the stone steps, only twelve symmetrical statues of law enforcement protectors, all dressed in black robes, holding law enforcement Law Artifact, and with their eyes closed.
At the end of the stone steps was a vast, open plaza, its surface paved with black rock of the same color, perfectly sealed and free of any dust.
In the center of the square stood a ten-zhang-tall (approximately 33 meters) tall (approximately 6.6 meters) Precept-Suppressing Stele, made of the Nine Soul-Suppressing Stone, with four large, bold characters on its surface: "[Heavenly Rules Revealed]".
It's fair to say that anyone who comes to this main hall will be awestruck.
However, this pleased Li Yunjing greatly.
The Discipline Hall is a solemn place; there is no room for frivolity.
Especially those disciples who broke the precepts.
If the main hall of the Discipline Hall were not solemn, the disciples would not feel that they had done anything wrong when they came here.
Only when they are first intimidated will these disciples be more likely to recognize their mistakes.
After touring the main hall, Li Yunjing became increasingly satisfied.
This Main Hall of Discipline is arguably the building that Li Yunjing is most satisfied with in the Luozhen Sect so far.
Of course, this is only from an appearance perspective.
As soon as Li Yunjing had a thought, a notification popped up.
[Upgradeable building detected - Main Hall of Discipline. Add to upgrade list?]
Li Yunjing silently said "yes," and the information panel of the Main Hall of Discipline popped up.
[Main Hall of Discipline (lv0)]
[Current effect: None]
[Level 1 Effect: When punishing a disciple who has violated the rules, the effect of the punishment (such as temporary suppression of cultivation or Divine Sense warning) is increased by 20%.]
[Upgrade Requirements: ≥10 Enforcement Disciples]
"Disciple of law enforcement..." Li Yunjing murmured to himself.
I'm afraid the Discipline Hall can't even muster ten people right now.
The reason is that the total number of disciples in the Luozhen Sect is not large, barely exceeding one hundred.
Moreover, in addition to the Discipline Hall, the entire Luozhen Sect also has several other halls, such as the Pill Refining Hall, the Artifact Refining Hall, and the Battle Hall.
These departments all need staff.
Furthermore, not every disciple of the Luozhen Sect can join a hall, resulting in a relatively small number of disciples in the current halls.
The Discipline Hall probably only has three or five disciples.
The Battle Hall is better, with thirteen people.
The other halls are similar to the Discipline Hall.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to take it slow," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
At this moment, Fang Tong also arrived at the main hall.
Upon seeing Li Yunjing, Fang Tong was startled and immediately strode over.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Li Yunjing turned his head and said, "Master Fang, no need for that."
"Did the sect leader come to the Discipline Hall with any instructions?" Fang Tong asked.
Li Yunjing shook his head. "Nothing instructing me, I just came to check on things."
"Master Fang, the number of disciples in the Discipline Hall needs to be increased."
Upon hearing this, Fang Tong gave a bitter smile, "Sect Leader, Non-Self don't want to, but there are reasons for it."
The Discipline Hall is a place where you do work that offends people, so not many people want to come here.
Moreover, something happened that made the disciples even more reluctant to come to the Discipline Hall.
"Huh? What is it?" Li Yunjing asked in surprise.
Fang Tong hesitated, wondering whether he should tell Li Yunjing about it.
But since it's already been brought up, Li Yunjing probably won't let it go if he doesn't say it.
So Fang Tong Tongxin steeled himself and said:
"It's about Zhang Hanpeng."
Li Yunjing was surprised; it was actually related to him?
Zhang Hanpeng was someone Li Yunjing personally brought back.
It can be said that he joined the Luozhen Sect when it was at its lowest point.
Aside from Li Yunjing and a few others who were already members of the Luozhen Sect, he was the most senior.
Besides, Zhang Hanpeng is an honest and simple man, so what precepts could he possibly violate?
Fang Tong continued, "Zhang Hanpeng, as a spirit farmer, took advantage of his status to hoard a lot of spirit rice."
Many disciples actually knew about this, but out of consideration for their feelings, none of them brought it up.
I asked the disciples in the Discipline Hall to handle it, but none of them were willing to go.
"Sect Leader, there will likely be many more cases like Zhang Hanpeng in the future, but for various reasons, the disciples are unwilling to deal with them. How can this be allowed?"
