Chapter 449: Chapter 448: Refining the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, Returning to the Holy Land, Meeting Taixu Bai Again

These two people.

One is an elder, the other a middle-aged man.

The elder is named Lord Yun He.

The middle-aged man is called Han Qianshan.

They come from the Sky Cloud Sect and the Evergreen Sect respectively.

Just like the Stone Array Sect before.

The Sky Cloud Sect and Evergreen Sect both depend on the Grand Cyan Cave Heaven.

Originally, the Stone Array Sect alone occupied three Vice Director positions in the Reward and Punishment Court.

Even though the Sky Cloud Sect and Evergreen Sect wanted to secure a Vice Director position for themselves, they were powerless to do so.

But now, with the Stone Array Sect bringing their own downfall, the two vacant positions have benefited these two sects.

At this moment, the two have already followed Ying Suxue to the main hall of the Dean.

On their way.

Both Lord Yun He and Han Qianshan show great respect to Ying Suxue, who is only at Divinity Transformation cultivation.

Because before coming here, they knew that standing behind Ying Suxue is none other than the Grotto Heaven Chief of the Grand Cyan Cave Heaven.

And both deeply revere this person from the bottom of their hearts.

This is not only because he directly resolved the Stone Array Sect’s three Refining Void Divine Monarchs.

But also because he has trampled the dignity of Lord Xuan Yi, also from a Holy Land.

Moreover, he and his master’s sect elders couldn’t do anything to Ji Haoyuan.

It is clear that, whether in means or personal strength, he is top-tier.

"Reporting to the Chief Dean, Dean Yun He and Dean Han have arrived."

At this point, Ying Suxue respectfully steps forward and offers a deep bow to Ji Haoyuan, who is seated in the first position.

Lord Yun He and Han Qianshan clearly understand their place.

Without waiting for Ji Haoyuan to act, they each take the initiative to step forward and offer a deep bow to Ji Haoyuan.

"We greet the Chief Dean!"

"Hmm..."

Ji Haoyuan turns his head to glance at them and nods slightly.

"Come and sit, you needn’t be so formal."

Though Ji Haoyuan speaks so, neither Lord Yun He, Han Qianshan, nor Ying Suxue dares take his words at face value.

Sitting near Ji Haoyuan, they only rest half of their seat on the chair.

Their demeanor remains respectful, as it should be.

Seeing this, Ji Haoyuan doesn’t say much more but looks towards Lord Yun He and Han Qianshan and says:

"Dear Taoist friends, you should already be aware of your responsibilities at my Reward and Punishment Court, yes?"

Upon hearing this, the two hurriedly stand up and nod in response:

"To report to the Chief Dean, Dean Ying has already made it clear to us before we came."

"Hmm, that’s good."

Ji Haoyuan nods slightly.

He continues, "I do not wish to see a repeat of previous matters; you understand my meaning, don’t you?"

"We understand, we understand."

Lord Yun He and Han Qianshan both feel a chill in their hearts.

Immediately, they nod repeatedly.

"Please rest assured, Chief Dean, from now on we will handle all matters justly in the Reward and Punishment Court, and nothing like those previous matters will occur."

Ji Haoyuan nods with satisfaction.

"Very good, I hope you both remember your words today.

With me, I won’t hold you to an absolute moral standard.

But every matter has its limits.

As long as it’s within those bounds, I can turn a blind eye.

However, should there be any betrayal or transgressions beyond acceptable limits,

don’t blame me for being ruthless and unmerciful."

Though Ji Haoyuan’s words are gentle,

they strike like thunder in the ears of Lord Yun He and Han Qianshan.

Immediately, the two assure Ji Haoyuan once more that such things will not happen, before returning to their seats.

In this manner, three years quickly pass by.

During these three years.

Ji Haoyuan remains mostly at the Reward and Punishment Court.

Though he did not participate in the specific management of the court,

his presence, combined with the new regulations established earlier, has restored the court’s credibility.

Meanwhile.

During these three years, Ji Haoyuan also unreservedly refined the Four Symbols Seal.

It is not easy for a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure to recognize a new master.

But with Ji Haoyuan’s methods and the power he wields, he succeeded in gaining its recognition a year ago.

Additionally.

He successfully refined two more of the final four restraints on the Water and Fire Flood Dragon Scissors.

Which means.

He has already refined thirty-four restraints on the Water and Fire Flood Dragon Scissors.

Once he refines the last two restraints, he can fully unleash the power of this Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Then, even against a Great Divine Monarch of another Holy Land,

he is confident he can defeat them.

Of course.

The restraints on the Water and Fire Flood Dragon Scissors are harder to refine toward the end.

According to his estimation,

refining those last two restraints might take ten to twenty years.

In contrast, the restraints on the Four Symbols Seal are fewer and easier to refine.

This shows.

In terms of true power and rank, the Four Symbols Seal is much lower than the Water and Fire Flood Dragon Scissors given to him by Taixu Bai.

About a year later.

Ji Haoyuan returned to the Grand Cyan Cave Heaven and directly met with his master Taixu Bai.

Upon seeing Ji Haoyuan return, Taixu Bai’s face clearly shows a gentle smile.

"Nanhua, I’ve learned of all your measures at the Reward and Punishment Court.

Well done, you have done extremely well."

It’s apparent Taixu Bai is very pleased.

He is also very satisfied with Ji Haoyuan’s performance at the Reward and Punishment Court.

Ji Haoyuan, however, does not claim credit but rather speaks modestly,

"It was all because my master and the sect stood behind me.

If not for that, it wouldn’t have been so easy to accomplish."

"Haha, you need not be so modest about this."

Taixu Bai laughed and shook his head.

"Those two youngsters from the Moral Saint Sect also had their masters and sect behind them, didn’t they? Why couldn’t they step away unscathed?

Ultimately.

It’s because, Nanhua, your ability, methods, and strength are sufficient to suppress them and manage the Reward and Punishment Court flawlessly."

After a pause, Taixu Bai continues:

"So tell me, is there something you wish to discuss since you came to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan doesn’t hide anything and nods,

"I do have two matters to discuss with you, Master.

The first is to return this treasure to you."

As he speaks, Ji Haoyuan flips his hand,

revealing the Punishment Whip that Taixu Bai had given him.

He then reverently offers the Punishment Whip back to Taixu Bai with both hands.
