Chapter 1504: 162: Standards of Heaven
Chapter 1504: Chapter 162: Standards of HeavenThe 27th day of the ninth month, in the year 3919 of the Dao Calendar, Southeastern Region, Cliff of Celestial Punishment.
The cliff faces the powerful Qi Country to the north, overlooks Da Xia to the west, stands facing Saint Water to the south, and borders the vast sea to the east.
Its steep cliffs are rare, with few outsiders visiting.
Three imposing palaces of law stand tall on this cliff.
The day was as usual, with “waves crashing against the cliff walls, mountain winds striking the ritual stones.”
The so-called “ritual stones” are unique to the cliff of celestial punishment, scattered across the mountain cliffs, visible everywhere. They have various appearances, but their bases are always perfectly square. Their greatest difference from ordinary stones is that whenever struck by the wind, they emit a synchronized sound, like someone shouting “威” (Might).
People believe they uphold the dignity of the cliff of celestial punishment, so they named them ritual stones.
Also known as “Sound Might Stones.”
An old man with white hair and a monocle fell from a high altitude and walked along the mountain path.
He abandoned flying on the wide and orderly mountain path, climbing step by step.
Just looking up, he saw a towering law stele, with no clouds daring to surround it.
The words on the stele seemed to be iron paintings with silver hooks, each stroke clear and distinct, profound and striking, as if the marks were not on the stele but in the heavens.
The words read—
“The heavens can be punished, the earth should receive the law, people must be within standards!”
These thirteen characters stood in the world, like a golden constitution and jade decree, possessing untouchable majesty.
It represented the spirit of law, the will practiced by the Triple Punishment Palace since ancient times.
Just as the monocle-wearing elder looked up at the stele, a measured voice, like being carved and chiseled, seemed to fall from the Nine Heavens—
“Yu Zhenren! Why have you come here?”
Present-day top-level prime minister, highest achievement in the life prediction technique, and first-rate computational ability of the True Man of the Age Yu Beidou… still maintaining the posture of looking up at the stele, spoke out: “Dare I ask Ju Kui Zhenren, what is law?”
In the billowing mountain wind, that measured voice replied: “Justice.”
Yu Beidou asked: “In the world, there is injustice, unsteadiness, those who exceed standards, whom should I ask?”
That voice asked: “Concerning one person? One place? One clan? One country?”
Yu Beidou grinned: “Concerning the strongest country of the current age, the number one Inner Mansion in ancient times!”
That voice was silent for a while, saying: “Please ascend the Heavenly Rule Palace.”
Supplementing: “Yu Zhenren ought to know the regulations.”
“Ju Kui Zhenren, you do not seem like someone who enjoys speaking nonsense…” Yu Beidou shook his head, retracted his smile, and formally said: “If there are false words, the heavens can be punished!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Above the high cliff, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
By the side of that eternal law stele, suddenly, a door opened.
It was an ancient and heavy cast iron gate, with regular horizontal and vertical patterns on the door, dividing it into countless equally sized squares…
The traces of years reflected upon it, and the brilliance of day and night flowed within it.
At the moment it opened, even someone as strong as Yu Beidou bent three points.
When the door appeared, he seemed to be rejected by the entire world.
When the door opened, he was again integrated into the world.
Only this “world” was stricter and more regulated.
Yu Beidou took just one glance, then walked inside.
…
…
Zhongxuan Sheng quickly understood what Jiang Wang had done.
Wen Lianmu also finally realized why Lin Xian could say such words looking up to the absolute summit.
Including Li Longchuan, including Yan Fu, including Gao Zhe.
Including the entire Star Moon Plain Battlefield…
No, the entire Eastern Region, the entire realm, everywhere humans cultivators exist, were all shaken by the name of a young prodigy!
His name was—Jiang Wang!
Because on this 27th day of the ninth month in the year 3919 of the Dao Calendar, present-day top-level prime minister Yu Beidou headed south out of Broken Soul Gorge, personally went to the Legalist Holy Land Triple Punishment Palace, and publicly announced before the Heavenly Rule Palace that Jiang Wang was not an individual engaging in demon communication, thus not guilty of any such crime!
He presented ironclad evidence, using true words to declare to the world—
Jiang Wang at Broken Soul Gorge fought one against four, with Inner Mansion combating Outer Building, killed Wan E, Sever Flesh, and Decapitation, three Great Demon Men, forcing Face-Uplifting Demon to flee, breaking the legendary record of the Tianfu elder, achieving the first Inner Mansion in green history!
Subsequently, despite injuries, bravely assisted him Yu Beidou, suppressed and killed the second-ranked fortune-telling demon among the Nine Great Demon Men.
Most importantly, Jiang Wang also helped him seal the ancient-origin Blood Demon, preventing the transmission of the “Love Dying Desire Blood Demon Skill!”
No demon race would treat the “Love Dying Desire Blood Demon Skill” like that.
No demon race spy could treat the “Love Dying Desire Blood Demon Skill” like that!
Because such level of demon scripture is truly a sacred object of the demon race, running through the ancient historical river, serving all for the continuation of heritage.
Any demon race, if they oppose it, would certainly die, regardless of the reason.
And all the above statements were recognized by the Triple Punishment Palace!
With the presence of Yu Beidou, the True Man of the Age, the Legalist Holy Land Triple Punishment Palace witnessed it, the top-level demon scripture “Love Dying Desire Blood Demon Skill” as a footnote, Jiang Wang’s stigma was hereby cleansed.
And Jing Country Mirror World Platform secretly dispatched four military formidable figures of the External Building Environment to capture Jiang Wang, aiming to quietly establish a solid case at Jade Capital Mountain. After being counter-killed cleanly by Jiang Wang, they audaciously declared him to engage in demon communication, issuing a capture order, dispatching the godly prodigy of the Divine Presence Realm Zhao Xuenyang…
Such conduct became the largest scandal for Jing Country Mirror World Platform in nearly a thousand years.
Sparking public debate!
People, knowingly or unknowingly, were discussing one issue—
Does Jing Country have the qualification to define other countries’ prodigies’ crimes?
With the pushing and shoving by Qi Country and Mugu, more and more dignitaries from various countries voiced questions—
Even a globally renowned Yellow River Leader like Jiang Wang, whose origin is from a powerful country like Qi, could be stigmatized and maliciously captured for public trial without authority, is the era of Jing Country’s dominance still not over?
The history of the 3919th year of the present day, the quest for fairness and justice by various countries, is it merely a joke?
The justice pursued by the Yellow River Heroes Gathering, the fair distribution advocated after the gate of all demons… the countless efforts made by past sages for this…
When it comes to the strongest Jing Country, could it historically exert supremacy by capturing whoever they wish, declaring guilt as they please?
Can the sacred Ancient Demon Slaying Alliance truly be treated as a weapon to suppress other countries’ prodigies?
Public debate surged, but Jing Country rarely maintained silence, uttering not a word.
For those in power, focusing globally, seizing this opportunity to weaken the influence of Mirror World Platform and Jade Capital Mountain, reconsidering Jing Country’s current authority is certainly most crucial.
However, to more people of the realm, Jiang Wang breaking the record of the Tianfu elder, creating a new legend, redefining the limits of Tianfu, leaving his name in the history of cultivation… was the more shocking event.
Jing Country’s arrogance was not new; nothing to marvel at.
The young exceptional prodigy, enduring in the mire, bravely marching forward during times of universal disbelief, ultimately challenging history, achieving the first Inner Mansion in green history, demon slaying, and suppressing demonic power… was indeed an epic that compelled cheers.
It was a living legend.
This legend quickly spread across the realm!
