Chapter 1601: The Will of the Great Lie Yang Jianzi Dominates the World Cluster

Gong Gong Caiyu sat upright in the Hall of Records.

She quietly gazed down at the many Dao Merging Divine Lords and Refining Void True Reverents below.

They were reverent and respectful, without any edge to them; every one of them was a loyal, upright, valiant cultivator who would obey the orders of the Solar Heavenly Palace completely.

"Hehe…"

Gong Gong Caiyu suddenly laughed.

A voice as pleasant and melodious as a silver bell echoed through the empty palace.

The many Dao Merging and Refining Void cultivators bowed their heads, held their breath, and listened carefully to every word, as if that voice contained supreme authority capable of deciding life and death.

"I was thinking,"

"if the Sword Son were here, how would he handle this matter?"

Gong Gong Caiyu gave a soft laugh.

At that instant, many people felt a chill run down their spines.

These people were none other than Chong Chong Guang Zi, the Ice Snow True Reverent, the Blazing Sun True Reverent, as well as some Refining Void cultivators who had ascended from Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting of the Northern Plains Lesser World.

These cultivators could truly be said to embody the saying "one person attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" to the fullest.

Being born in the Northern Plains Lesser World gave them naturally more opportunities than others; their growth experience in Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting of the Northern Plains made them better suited to the needs of Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting in the Blazing Sun World Cluster, so their Dao paths were bright, and their rate of becoming accomplished far surpassed that of other places.

At this moment, these cultivators of special origin—no matter how strong or weak, no matter how talented—all trembled, recalling many terrifying past events.

The Pure Yang Sword Son was never lenient!

Those who violated Tushan's laws were either punished or killed, without exception!

No matter how many people, no matter who they were, trampling Tushan's laws required paying a terrible price, generation after generation, with cultivators in every generation paying with their lives.

Take the Ice Snow True Reverent Mu Mu Tianxue, for instance—she had experienced at least three purges by the Pure Yang Sword Son, each time with massive numbers of cultivators dying.

What would this time be like?

Mu Mu Tianxue felt a creeping dread in her heart.

Over these tens of thousands of years, she had not been particularly scrupulous.

After all, this was a brand-new Upper Realm, many enemies were also unscrupulous, and the Pure Yang Sword Son was not by her side—he had been gone for tens of thousands of years, as if he had already faded entirely into memory, into the distant past…

If at this moment, the Pure Yang Sword Son appeared here!

There would be no surprise—at least ninety percent of the Dao Merging and Refining Void cultivators in this entire palace would die!

This was beyond doubt. In the Pure Yang Sword Son's eyes, the so-called prodigies and the so-called heroes were nothing but ants, utterly worthless, not even comparable to a single hair when measured against his Tushan laws—perfectly suited to establish the glory of Tushan's legacy and warn posterity.

"If the Sword Son appeared here, would the number of people in this palace who survive be more than five?"

Gong Gong Caiyu

sighed.

These words were like the bitter winter wind, sweeping through the entire palace, chilling the heart.

Even Dao Merging cultivators, at this moment, were filled with fear, without any of the lofty bearing of immortal Dao predecessors, and despair welled up within them about the future.

The Pure Yang Sword Son had once beheaded the Thread-Pulling Celestial in formation!

With such an existence, if he wished to purge them, who could escape, who would have the power to resist?

This Sword Son, ever since his emergence, every appearance inevitably involved massive death.

Last time, the Refining Void cultivators of the entire Thunder Flame Domain; this time, the many cultivators of over a dozen domains—mountains crumbled and the earth split, even the environment of the domains changed, from vibrant, living domains into barren lands of yellow sand filling the sky.

The strong rule everything.

This was something every cultivator knew clearly from the very first day they set foot on the immortal Dao.

"Grand Steward of Records."

"Since you speak thus, you must have a solution, yes?"

Yang Tie Divine Lord bowed and said in a deep voice.

They could not help but panic—the Pure Yang Sword Son truly did not seem like a lenient lord; every appearance was accompanied by great bloodshed.

Many cultivators looked with entreaty toward that Refining Void female cultivator.

"Naturally there is."

"I cannot suppress an entire world cluster alone as the Sword Son can, so naturally I must compromise—it's nothing more than political tactics like only executing the chief culprits…"

Gong Gong Caiyu sighed softly.

"Would the Sword Son acknowledge this outcome?"

Another Dao Merging Divine Lord said in a deep voice.

He came from the Solar lineage, named Tianyun Divine Lord; in the past he had pledged himself to the Radiant Glory Divine Lord and the Radiant Blue Divine Lord, but this time he had come here, like many cultivators.

"He would."

"The Sword Son values his Tushan laws greatly."

Gong Gong Caiyu fell into reminiscence, and after a moment said: "Many years ago, when he pacified his first city—Tushan Xiancheng, which possessed a third-tier spiritual vein—he pardoned a great number of cultivators, because he believed that he had not provided shelter, had not provided a stable political environment, and that forcibly demanding others obey Tushan's laws was too forced and unreasonable."

"Furthermore, if he occupied entirely new territory, he would also grant special pardons, and would not beat to death everyone in the domain…"

"He was actually very skilled at uniting the majority."

Gong Gong Caiyu thought of this last point and could not help but let out a snort of laughter.

Pacifying a xian city that possessed a third-tier spiritual vein…

Such phrasing brought a trace of dazed expression to the faces of the many cultivators present.

Third-tier spiritual vein, Jin Dan level strength.

How distant a matter that was—so distant they had nearly forgotten many things from their own Jin Dan days; time had passed too long, back then they were only a few hundred years old,

less than the duration of a single closed-door cultivation session now.

This female cultivator, having met the Pure Yang Sword Son at such a young age and having such a bond with him—it truly made people envious.

"That is good."

The Heavenly Cloud Divine Lord and his Dao companion bowed humbly, saying, "Under the command of the Inheritance Glory and the Azure Light Divine Lord, the most heinous criminals are the Dark Cloud Divine Lord and others. We can all accuse them to prove our loyalty and submit numerous pieces of evidence."

"We can also turn the many factions under the command of the Inheritance Glory and the Azure Light Divine Lord to our side, bringing them back under the Sword Disciple's banner."

"We can guarantee that from today onward, the Inheritance Glory and the Azure Light Divine Lord will be isolated, unable to extend new factional tendrils or influence the many situations within the Blazing Sun World Cluster."

"We beseech the Grand Steward of the Registers to investigate with clarity."

The Heavenly Cloud Divine Lord lowered his head deeply, bowing his forehead in submission and loyalty.

"No..."

The Dark Cloud Divine Lord and others tried to speak, but were instantly suppressed by the formation; their bodies stiffened, unable to do anything.

"Naturally, I will investigate with clarity."

"Fellow Daoists."

Gong Gong Caiyu did not take the opportunity for revenge; she nodded slightly, saying, "Hasten to bring the entire World Cluster under the Sword Disciple's radiance. The Master Tushan Law must spread to every corner, even within a Foundation Establishment family; this is something that must be done."

"Today's pardon is only for today."

"If it happens again, you all should know the consequences. The Sword Disciple's Master Tushan Law is not lenient toward anyone."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Grand Steward of the Registers!"

All cultivators were convinced and convinced in their hearts, bowing respectfully with their foreheads to the ground.

From this moment on, the Blazing Sun World Cluster returned to substantive unity once more; orders flowed freely from top to bottom, cultivators who violated the Master Tushan Law could be swiftly punished and executed, and the Master Tushan Law was no longer a mere formality.

All aspects operated swiftly according to the Great Sun Sword Disciple's will, with productivity steadily increasing.

As for the former powerful ministers, the Inheritance Glory Divine Lord and the Azure Light Divine Lord, they resided in a remote palace, forgotten by everyone, with no one ever visiting them again.
