📖 Chapter 1195 - Punishment

23 Dec, 2023

Patriarch Violet Gold’s declaration spread throughout the solar system in an instant. All the solar system’s powerhouses immediately trembled, and their divine wills spread out rapidly toward the vortex in the starry sky that linked to the Violet Gold Civilization.

“Violet Gold Civilization?”

“The ones who invaded the Divine Eye Civilization?”

“What are they doing here? They want to integrate into the Federation?”

“Senior Wang? Could it be…?” As these divine wills gathered, they instantly started exchanging voice transmissions. They were full of surprise, as well as vigilance.

The arrival of the Violet Gold Civilization was really too shocking. Whether it was Patriarch Violet Gold’s imposing aura as he spoke, or the vast starry sky in the vortex behind him, all of them represented a level of civilization that surpassed the solar system countless times over.

Moreover… after the Divine Eye Civilization integrated into the solar system, the Federation had obtained a more thorough understanding of the Left Dao Holy Region as a whole. Naturally, they weren’t unfamiliar with the Violet Gold Civilization, which had once schemed against the Divine Eye Civilization.

They knew very well that the Violet Gold Civilization was the number one civilization in the nineteenth territory of the Left Dao Holy Region. It ruled over hundreds of subsidiary civilizations, and even on the scale of the entire Left Dao Holy Region, it could be considered a powerful force.

Although it didn’t have a Star Domain Realm Almighty at its helm, its patriarch was already half a step into the Star Domain Realm and far surpassed the likes of Eternal Star Realm cultivators. Moreover, the Violet Gold Civilization’s galaxy-wide spell formation meant that it could even fight against a Star Domain Realm Almighty as long as it was in the Violet Gold Galaxy.

Such a behemoth was now actually submitting, begging to integrate into the Federation…

The solar system’s powerhouses were all suspicious and doubtful.

This was the case for the Martian Colony Governor Lin You, the Venus Colony Governor Daoist Osmanthus, the Divine Eye Civilization’s Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch, and also the Vast Expanse Palace’s Qing Lingzi. These experts of the three factions in the solar system all rushed outside, and the solar system’s grand spell formation rumbled into operation. Wu Mengling, Li Xingwen, and the patriarch of the Jin Family all came out and stared at the vortex outside the solar system.

There was also Zhao Yameng, who had been in secluded cultivation on Mercury. She opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the Violet Gold Civilization. A thoughtful light flickered in her eyes before she turned her head to glance at Earth.

And she wasn’t the only one. All the powerhouses who released their divine wills also looked over at Earth in shock. In Patriarch Violet Gold’s words just now, he had clearly called out to some “Senior Wang” with a voice full of respect. This form of address caused huge waves to surge in everyone’s hearts.

They could only think of one person from their solar system who would be addressed in such a way!

Naturally, it was… Wang Baole, who had been gone from the Federation for twenty years already!

At this moment, the same thought appeared in everyone’s minds.

‘He’s returned?’

Although the thought was the same, the emotions behind it were different. For example, the Vast Expanse Palace’s Qing Lingzi hadn’t heard from his master that Wang Baole had already come back, and his heart was currently trembling violently. Clearly, he hadn’t gotten over the terror from back in the day.

Those from the Divine Eye Civilization all bowed their heads in awe. To them, Wang Baole was their emperor.

As for the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch, he also chose to bow his head, sighing in his heart.

Compared to these people, those from the Federation were extremely excited.

The Federation President Wu Mengling’s eyes brightened, and Li Xingwen smiled from the bottom of his heart. Lin You and Daoist Osmanthus also became emotional.

However, there were some people who were feeling nervous and guilty instead.

Wang Baole, sitting at home in Ethereal City with his sister, could clearly sense everyone’s emotions. He didn’t say anything and allowed the people of the Federation to discuss feverishly.

For the Federation, this kind of experience could only be a good thing. If the people of the Federation could handle things on their own, then that would be for the best. If not, Wang Baole would head out in person. For the moment, he just sent a wisp of Dao aura to express his greetings, then focused back on Wang Baoling.

Realizing that Wang Baole was looking at her again, Wang Baoling instinctively sat up a bit straighter. The anxiety on her face grew even deeper.

“Our parents don’t like your outfit.” Fixing the troubles with Wang Baoling wouldn’t take much effort for Wang Baole. As he fixed his gaze on her again, he spoke in a calm voice.

“I’ll change the way I dress in the future.” Wang Baoling’s mind went blank as she replied instinctively.

Wang Baole nodded and continued speaking.

“Don’t make Father and Mother worry about you all the time, and don’t talk back so much.”

“I… I won’t talk back. I’ll agree with everything my parents say. I’ll be very obedient.” Wang Baoling felt like she was about to cry. But after replying, she couldn’t help but ask in a timid voice.

“But what if what they say is wrong? Brother, can… can I tell you?”

Hearing this form of address, Wang Baole felt emotional. He smiled at this sister who seemed extremely afraid of him and patted her head.

“Alright.”

“Really?” Wang Baoling’s eyes lit up when Wang Baole touched her head.

“Really. But you can’t let our parents worry.”

Wang Baoling wanted to laugh, but after looking at Wang Baole, she shrank back and nodded obediently. Then, glancing around, she saw that the table in front of Wang Baole was empty, so she quickly stood up and pulled out a bottle of Ice Spirit Water.

Seeing his sister handing him his favorite drink, Wang Baole felt warm. After pausing for some time, he spoke up again.

“Do you like him?” With a wave of his hand, an illusory figure appeared in the air. It was the boy whom his sister had been glancing at earlier.

Redness spread across Wang Baoling’s face. She nodded.

Wang Baole quickly thought of several ways to handle this issue. When a person was in a different position, they naturally had to do things differently. If it were in the past, perhaps Wang Baole would have directly forced his sister to cut things off and picked out someone he approved of. But in his current position, he thought that it would be better not to interfere with his sister’s choices. Moreover, youth meant unpredictability; what happened now didn’t necessarily have much bearing on what would happen in the future. Thus, Wang Baole decided not to break them up. However, that didn’t mean he would just do nothing.

A moment later, Wang Baole’s Dao aura spread out and found the young man, who had just returned home to Ethereal City. With a wave of his hand, the thread of karma connecting to the young man and leading out to the starry sky instantly collapsed.

At the other end of the thread was a middle-aged cultivator of the Divine Eye Civilization sitting cross-legged in meditation. As soon as the thread collapsed, his expression changed and he tried to rise to his feet. However, his body suddenly withered like a deflating balloon, abruptly falling to the ground and turning to ash.

It wasn’t just him, either. At the same time, more than a dozen other cultivators in the Divine Eye Civilization all turned to ash in an instant.

There was one among them whose cultivation base was in the Spirit Immortal Realm. This person looked familiar, but Wang Baole had already forgotten his name. He seemed to be a disciple of the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch…

The man was shocked and wanted to explain, but before he could open his mouth, his body had already turned to ash.

Meanwhile, the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch was outside the solar system, talking to Patriarch Violet Gold along with the other powerhouses of the Federation. His body suddenly trembled, and the shadow of his divine soul was revealed above his head. A wisp of Dao aura spread over, and one of the soul’s arms was sliced off in an instant!

The Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body shuddering and his complexion turning pale. He lowered his head and bowed deeply toward Earth.

“Although you didn’t make the plan, you implicitly consented to it. I’ll cut off one arm of your soul and reduce your cultivation base by 20% as a warning to others!” An awe-inspiring voice reverberated in his mind.

Everyone nearby immediately look at the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch in surprise, and Patriarch Violet Gold’s eyes flickered with thought.

“Fellow Daoists, Senior, I’ve let you all see a poor side of me. My disciple committed a sin. As his master, it is only right and proper that I be punished.”
