Chapter 2068: Establishing the Sect Rules

"Our sect's disciples are truly like dragons—what a promising future!"

Seeing disciples whose cultivation surpassed their own, Lin Potian and Qin Shanhai spoke with mixed feelings.

These disciples are truly outstanding; their strength surpasses that of these sect elders—what's going on?

Having received their identity tokens, Lin Potian then spoke up.

"Congratulations on joining our Dao One Immortal Sect; this is the first task the Sect assigns to you."

Huh???

Just entered the Sect and already there's a task? Is this Sect even legitimate?

Hearing this, the disciples were completely baffled, having never encountered such a thing before.

Lin Potian, however, didn't care what the disciples thought and continued speaking.

"The Sect has allocated a specific area for you, but you must build your own lodgings; materials can be gathered on your own in the Wuji Shanmai."

"This is also part of the Sect's training for you, and living in a house you built yourself brings a greater sense of accomplishment."

Huh???

Build houses?

Lin Potian spoke as if it were reasonable, but many disciples thought, 'Isn't this just because you haven't had time to build our lodgings yet, so you're making us build them ourselves?'

How can a Sect be this lazy?

For a moment, the faces of all the disciples present darkened involuntarily; they had already felt the Dao One Immortal Sect was unreliable, and now, upon joining, they got hit with this.

However, considering the previous meal, the disciples ultimately gritted their teeth and endured.

It's just building a lodging; I'll do it.

Especially those Immortal Clan Descendants—I'll provide all the materials myself; that should be fine, no need for the Sect to contribute anything.

I'll personally foot the bill, adding bricks and tiles to the Sect.

As the first batch of disciples joined the Sect, the Dao One Immortal Sect quickly became lively.

The area specially allocated for the disciples' lodgings was bustling with activity.

Many disciples personally built their own future lodgings.

Looking from afar at the busy disciples, Yun Xiantai nodded satisfiedly.

"Not bad; the first batch of disciples already shows they can endure hardship—our Dao One Immortal Sect has a promising future."

Beside him, Qi Xiong also nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After a round of praise, Yun Xiantai shifted the topic and instructed Qi Xiong.

"Now that the first batch of disciples has joined the Sect, as the saying goes, 'Without rules, nothing can be properly formed.' Qi Xiong, you must quickly establish the Law Enforcement Hall and swiftly establish the authority of the sect rules. Don't forget we are an orthodox sect; our disciples must also conduct themselves properly and sit upright."

Hearing Yun Xiantai's words, Qi Xiong solemnly nodded in response.

"Yes, Ancestor, I think the Law Enforcement Hall should be put under the charge of Third Senior Brother, since he has experience."

"Okay."

Building the lodgings couldn't be done in a day, but the disciples' progress was swift; they had already laid the foundations on the first day.

However, early the next morning, as the disciples were preparing to resume work, the Sect suddenly summoned many disciples to gather outside the main hall.

Since the Law Enforcement Hall wasn't ready yet, they could only temporarily make do on the square outside the main hall.

Not knowing what was going on, the disciples complained bitterly; building lodgings was bad enough—what's with this early-morning assembly?

Nevertheless, they came in small groups to the outside of the main hall.

As the many disciples gathered, Qi Xiong, accompanied by Shi Song, appeared on the stone steps ahead.

Looking at the many disciples before him, Qi Xiong felt gratified, thinking, 'These are the disciples of our Dao One Immortal Sect.'

"Sect Master, why have you summoned us?"

Huh???

Just as Qi Xiong was secretly feeling gratified, an Immortal Clan Descendant standing at the front spoke up.

His tone was flat, his face lacking any respect; Qi Xiong unconsciously frowned, but soon relaxed.

He silently reassured himself.

"No problem, no problem; after all, they've just joined the Sect and lack a sense of belonging, and the sect rules aren't established yet—things will improve later. Besides, the Master has foresight."

After reassuring himself, Qi Xiong composed his expression and loudly addressed the assembled disciples.

"Now you are all disciples of our Dao One Immortal Sect; I have summoned you today mainly concerning the sect rules. As the saying goes, 'Without rules, nothing can be properly formed.' How can a sect lack sect rules.........."

Qi Xiong repeated the purpose of summoning the disciples.

Then Shi Song stepped forward to read out the sect rules.

These sect rules are actually not troublesome; they can be directly copied from the Dao Yi Shengdi, with at most minor adjustments according to the Immortal Realm's circumstances.

Shi Song, a veteran who had long headed the Law Enforcement Hall, knew the sect rules inside out; with a righteous bearing, impartial and stern, he proclaimed them in a voice like a tolling bell.

"Sect Rule One: Killing between fellow disciples is prohibited; anyone who wantonly slays fellow disciples shall die."

"Sect Rule Two: Dao One Immortal Sect disciples must not wantonly slay the innocent; anyone who wantonly slays innocents shall die."

"Sect Rule Three: Sect disciples are prohibited from cultivating heretical or demonic arts; anyone discovered doing so shall die."

Shi Song recited the sect rules article by article, while the many disciples below had zero interest in them.

Especially those Immortal Clan Descendants, they didn't hear a single word; upon joining the Sect, the only thing they cared about was where the canteen was.

Another matter: what time of day the meals are served, and how many meals a day.

Besides that, they had no interest in anything else.

So, seeing Shi Song recite the sect rules endlessly without end, someone couldn't help but interrupt.

"Elder, the sect rules can be discussed later; I have a question I want answered now."

He was properly reciting the sect rules when he was interrupted midway.

Now this is such a solemn occasion, yet someone dares to interrupt my words? As soon as the words were spoken, Shi Song didn't think much, his face sank, and he immediately shouted.

Impudent.

Immediately, he locked onto that Immortal Clan Descendant who had just spoken, his aura instantly pressing down on the disciple, intending to give him a lesson.

Now that the sect rules have not yet been established, these disciples are already so lacking in discipline.

If this continues, how will the sect rules ever establish their authority in the future?

Therefore, the beginning must be done right, so that all the disciples know that the sect rules must not be taken lightly.

It just so happens that this disciple spoke without restraint; though it's not a major mistake, it's perfect to use as 'kill the chicken to scare the monkey'.

Shi Song, experienced as he is, immediately thought of using this opportunity to establish some authority for the sect rules.

This will be quite beneficial for the future establishment of the Law Enforcement Hall and the later enforcement of the sect rules.

Qi Xiong, standing nearby, upon seeing this, instantly understood Shi Song's meaning; we Shī xiōng brothers, how could he not understand his junior brother?

As expected of the person in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, his experience is indeed rich.

However, the next second, as Shi Song's aura enveloped that disciple, Qi Xiong looked over and his whole person froze.

What's going on? Has the world been turned upside down?
