Chapter 922 -926: Severing the Path to Immortality
“Immortal Respect, Immortal Respect, I am a Heavenly Soul, wholeheartedly seeking immortality. Human desires and virtues have nothing to do with me. Moreover, these moral conducts do not affect my pursuit of immortality. Why should you impose sins upon me?” Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul cried out, immediately defending itself.
“As a Heavenly Soul, as the guide for the other two souls and leader of the other seven spirits, you did not keep your host chaste, nor did you set an example for the other two souls and seven spirits. Should you not be punished?” Zhu Minglang said.
Upon hearing this, Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul clenched its teeth.
It seemed there was some reason to it.
If I were resolute enough, genuinely devoid of any distracting thoughts in my quest for the Dao and immortality, how could my host engage in such despicable and base acts – it must be because my influence as a Heavenly Soul is not strong enough!
One hundred and fifty lashes.
It made the whole body blossom with pain!
The other Divine Idols remained silent.
The formal trial hadn’t even started, and the person’s Heavenly Soul was already confused and disoriented from the beating.
“Alright, now let us talk about your sins,” Zhu Minglang said with satisfaction, slowly beginning the discussion.
“What???” Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul was stunned.
Were these one hundred and fifty lashes just an appetizer???
What on earth did my physical self do that was so heinous?!
“Let me ask you, did the Goddess Qiuci specifically instruct you to return to Half Desert City to stand guard before she left, and did you agree?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“I merely agreed to assist, but did not specify until when,” Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul said weakly.
“Fine, I will bring Qiuci’s soul here to confront you. The outcome of this confrontation will differ from what you confess now. Think clearly for yourself,” Zhu Minglang declared.
One of the stone idols on the left immediately blinked, trying to inform Zhu Minglang that they temporarily couldn’t bring any of the souls of the Goddess Qiuci here.
But Zhu Minglang raised his hand, stopping this reminder from the left stone idol, and continued to order loudly, “Bring Qiuci’s Heavenly Soul!”
“Wait, wait, Immortal Respect, my physical self did indeed agree, I’ve just remembered,” Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul panicked, hurriedly speaking out.
“Oh? Then tell me, why did you not return to Half Desert City, but instead departed overnight, leaving Half Desert City to be devastated by the Monster Group, with over ten thousand deaths?” Zhu Minglang queried.
“Half Desert City was never within my jurisdiction to guard. Moreover, the fault lied with Qiuci, who deserted her post, leading to this tragedy,” Su Chun said.
“Had you not promised Qiuci to return and guard the city?” Zhu Minglang asked once more.
“Yes, I had agreed, but considering that this matter could implicate me…” Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul said.
If each soul has its own thoughts, then the decision to leave overnight must certainly have been Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul’s idea.
The path of immortality was what Su Chun cared about most, and since the Heavenly Soul is connected to this path, Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul would under no circumstances admit to this wrongdoing. It insisted it was merely assisting from the side and had chosen to leave because it was powerless to do more.
“Since you had agreed, you formed a divine contract between gods. It was your breach that led to this catastrophe. You bear the primary responsibility,” Zhu Minglang stated.
“This makes sense, this makes sense,” the idols on the left and right nodded simultaneously.
“We just verbally briefed each other, how could it form a divine contract?” Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul immediately countered.
“Did you have a marriage?” Zhu Minglang asked.
“There…there was…”
“Since there was a marriage, and your wife earnestly entrusted you with a task within your capabilities which you failed to fulfill, is it not your fault, or did you intend harm towards your wedded wife? Very well, the Earth Soul and Life Soul may be apprehended!” Zhu Minglang’s eyes lit up.
“No, no, no, it is my fault, it is my fault, it is my Heavenly Soul’s fault. I was selfish, egotistical, believing that Qiuci, along with Zhu Minglang and others, could not revive the third stone altar. To completely sever ties with this matter, I left overnight. It was my decision, my decision, without any intention of harming my wedded wife; I merely didn’t want to affect my own path to immortality!!” Upon hearing this, Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul immediately confessed!
If the Life Soul could be apprehended, Zhu Minglang would have the opportunity to execute Su Chun in a dream!
Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul also realized that once the sin of harming a spouse was established, his little life would be over. No more talking about pursuing the Dao and seeking immortality!!
Moreover, the decision to leave overnight was indeed the idea of the Heavenly Soul.
This time, Zhu Minglang was correct to target Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul for apprehension.
The left and right Divine Idols continually nodded, including the other two rows of Divine Idols, who also agreed with Zhu Minglang’s judgment this time.
Zhu Minglang was also learning as he went; he found that he could only use the power of Heavenly Execution if he could convince the two rows of Divine Idols.
Therefore, based on the actions of the opponent, an analysis of heaven, earth, and man was required. Only if the sin was extremely wicked could execution proceed.
“Big Left, he has confessed his guilt. How should we sentence him? Tell him,” Zhu Minglang said to the left side Divine Idol.
“Immortal Respect, I do have a name, Changhong,” it replied.
“I know, Big Left,” Zhu Minglang nodded.
Changhong, the Divine Idol, helplessly bowed his head, his face darkened by shadows. He glanced at the Divine Idol on the right, and, in a burst of quick-wittedness, said, “Also, Immortal Respect, it’s Big Right who determines the sentencing.”
The Divine Idol on the right widened its stone eyes!
Are you out of your mind?!
Why seek mutual destruction???
“Immortal Respect, I too have a name, Changcheng,” the statue on the right spoke.
“Hmm, Big Right, tell Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul what punishment he should receive,” Zhu Minglang said.
The statue, Changcheng on the right, was on the verge of tears, then fiercely glared at the gloating stone statue, Changhong, on the left.
“Su Chun, because of your selfishness and abandonment of your own commitment, causing the people of Dawn to suffer from Monster attacks with over ten thousand dead or wounded, we will chop off the ears of your Heavenly Soul, sever your path to Superior God, and reduce your lifespan by one hundred years. Reflect well on this,” said Changcheng, the statue on the right.
Upon hearing this, Su Chun’s Heavenly Soul was as if struck by thunder. Already punished with one hundred fifty stripes, he collapsed onto the temple floor, his eyes immediately losing their lustre.
His seamless and perfect immortal path came to an end at that moment.
This means, no matter how hard he worked in this life, he would never be able to progress further on the path of gods and immortals!
The dazzlingly glorious rank of immortal, forever closed to him!
In the vibrant Divine Land of North Dipper God State, he would have no place. He could only watch from halfway up the mountain as those clumsier gods and Loose Immortals, with lesser backgrounds than his, surpassed him one by one.
Divine Soul Life Pattern, thoroughly sealed off!
…
Observing the outcome, Zhu Minglang was quite satisfied.
Eliminating a rising Su Chun completely from the immortal rankings was no different from crippling him.
The common folk are after all common folk. Actually, there are many more brutal gods than Su Chun. To have derived such a sentence for a god based on the lives of ten thousand citizens was quite commendable already.
Of course, unless Zhu Minglang could find other more egregious charges against Su Chun that would allow him to investigate sins against the Earth Soul and Life Soul, it was still difficult to directly execute a god of this stature.
Su Chun was young, with a strong background and reached the upper rank of God will; his Destiny was extremely high, his future path as an immortal was incredibly brilliant, with Flaunting God and other God principals tirelessly currying favor. Now, the very thing he was most proud of had been cut off by Zhu Minglang, and no doubt it felt like dying.
…
Upon waking up, Zhu Minglang’s eyes still reflected the divine radiance of the temple, stunningly beautiful.
Nan Lingsha happened to be watching him. People usually appear tousled and bleary-eyed upon waking, but Zhu Minglang’s eyes seemed to have gained a layer of extraordinary charm, altering his entire demeanor.
A bit handsome, very unique, quite captivating.
Nan Yuso took a few more glances but found herself accidentally leaning too close, her entire body toppling into Zhu Minglang’s arms.
Zhu Minglang was also stunned for a moment; she smelled fragrant, soft, with perfect touch, and very real.
So, the sweet dream could continue?
Is it a reward for defending justice for myself?
Then don’t mind if I do.
“Ah!!!” Nan Yuso cried out shyly.
That cry fully woke Zhu Minglang.
Around them, a crowd of leaders and gods all turned their heads, watching this couple interact wildly in full public view…
“You… you… you went too far!!” Nan Yuso was extremely embarrassed.
“Sorry, sorry, I thought I was dreaming,” Zhu Minglang’s face also turned red. Turns out there were so many people around! There weren’t many when he was resting before.
“Cough cough, you can go through that Wind and Rain Corridor, there are some bedrooms at the end. Half Desert City should be calmed down now; you don’t need to stay here, go rest, do whatever you want…” Goddess Qiuci awkwardly suggested from the side.
Nan Yuso’s cheeks were extremely red.
Her reputation was being utterly destroyed by Zhu Minglang!!
The way that hand slipped into the front of her clothes just now, how could it be so skilled…
Could it be…
I must make a complaint! This time I must definitely complain!
Yunzhi and Star Painting don’t care at all, I must complain to Ling Sha!
Now only Sister Lingsha can deal with this increasingly audacious rascal!
“Yu Suo, there are still a few wounds unattended,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Apply them yourself, stinky man!” Nan Yuso retorted angrily.
“In the eyes of Goddess Qiuci, we were imitating a couple, and you threw yourself into the embrace,” Zhu Minglang laughed, continuing unabashedly since the touch had already happened.
“I… I just thought your eyes looked odd, there were so many people just now, you… you… you…” Nan Yuso’s mind raced back to the incident, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to disappear into.

“In my dreams, it was all about you, and upon waking, I saw you again, impulsively acting out, I admit I really caused a huge problem, and I will make sure to be more observant next time,” Zhu Minglang said.
“You… you have no shame! Is this a matter of whether there are people around or not!” Nan Yuso was stomping with fury, that big hand had no right to be so shamelessly invasive.
“Did I pinch too hard?”
“Jerk, go die!”
