217: Chapter 2 The Day the Flowers Bloom Again_2 217: Chapter 2 The Day the Flowers Bloom Again_2 Si Qi, accompanied by a group of junior and nephew disciples, rode a celestial crane away from the Sword Palace.
To the commoners below the mountain and the surrounding cities, they distributed Da Sui Sword Palace’s “Sword Qi Order.” Due to this action, the Array Pattern Masters of Xiao Chong Mountain were now fully operational, dedicating their full effort to engraving array patterns to support the “load” of the Sword Qi Order.
This matter was the “last wish” of Xie Xuanyi from years ago, which had been shelved due to the Sealing of the Mountain by the Sword Palace ten years ago.
Now that Da Sui Sword Palace had reopened, Si Qi brought up this past issue once again.
However,
Randomly distributing the Sword Qi Order met with opposition from many people.
Da Sui Sword Palace wasn’t just involving the main peak in decision-making.
The reclusive elders from True Hidden Peak’s Guest Mountain expressed their opposition; they didn’t view it as a beneficial act.
In past years, many Sword Cultivator disciples from Da Sui Sword Palace went down the mountain to enforce the law, but after all, being outside, everyone had to respectfully address them as Immortal Master.
In such a way, descending the mountain draped in a veil of superiority, they never had to worry about getting embroiled in trouble.
But once they distributed a large number of “Sword Qi Orders,”
The transcendent image of Da Sui Sword Palace was bound to be compromised.
What sort of Immortal Family would they be if they no longer sat high above the clouds?
Besides,
The mere distribution of “Sword Palace Orders” was actually taboo.
All the major families and sects had their own Divine Soul Orders, but none had ever seen it appropriate to distribute such orders to the beings below the mountains…
This artifact, having originated from the “Cultivation Realm,” should avoid mundane dust.
Nevertheless,
Amid numerous controversies, Si Qi still rectified this regret of Xie Xuanyi that had not been fulfilled years ago.
With a firm stance, True Hidden Peak issued the first batch of Sword Qi Orders, but because many elders opposed…
these Sword Qi Orders only covered an area less than a hundred miles around, encompassing eleven small and medium cities.
Standing behind Si Qi were Huang Su, Qi Lie, Zhou Zhiren.
Back in the day, these individuals at Lotus Peak had not yet grown up.
Today, they had truly become the backbone of the Sword Palace.
“These days, the Law Enforcement Hall of Golden Turtle Peak has to handle several hundred ‘reward tasks’ daily.
People traverse mountains and rivers to come to the Law Enforcement Hall, clanging their swords to report grievances.”
The Law Enforcement softly said, “On the surface, Si Qi is the one doing this.
But in reality…
it’s actually you who are the real pusher behind this.”
“I just shared my thoughts with Si Qi…”
Xie Xuanyi shook his head, candidly stating, “The situation today is inevitable for the Sword Palace.
It’s where the will of the people goes, and we simply follow the current.”
“Do you think this is a good thing?”
The Law Enforcement asked coldly, “Of these hundreds of cases, more than ninety percent are trivial matters.
In this period, the disciples of Golden Turtle Peak are stretched to their limits.
If the Sword Qi Order were to be distributed even further, how could a single Da Sui Sword Palace manage everything?”
“That’s why I also told Qi Lie that there shouldn’t be just one Law Enforcement Hall.”
Xie Xuanyi smiled softly, “Just like the Fangyuan Square…”
“Do you think this is a business?”
“If this isn’t business.”
Xie Xuanyi gently asked, “Then what do you think it is?”
This question left the Law Enforcement speechless.
With the reopening of Sword Palace, many disciples of Sword Cultivation will walk outside.
To slay demons, purge evil, strive against Evil Cultivators, and uphold justice.
How could such actions be business?
If this were said out loud, it would certainly be ridiculed.
“Cultivators and the secular world are like water and a boat.”
Xie Xuanyi softly said, “The Da Chu Imperial Family could annihilate all commoners, but if they did that…
what would be the purpose of the Imperial Family’s existence?
Fangyuan Square’s business is extensive, yet minuscule; they collect gold, silver, Magic Treasures, and Spiritual Medicines abundantly, yet they lack the most important thing.
The ultimate significance of the secular world to the Cultivation Realm is to provide ‘offerings.'”
“…”
The Law Enforcement looked at the disciple before him with a complex expression.
“Fan Yin Temple has built thousands of Buddhist temples in the Southern Dynasty, where everyone devoutly cultivates Buddhism and recites Buddha’s name.”
Xie Xuanyi calmly said, “In terms of influence, Fan Yin Temple even surpasses the Taoist sects…
Millions of offerings from the Southern Dynasty are sent into the Buddhist sanctuaries.
But how many people from Da Chu are willing to offer sincere prayers for our Da Sui Sword Palace?”
Tongtian Law Enforcement coldly spat out two words: “Outrageous!”
“Sword Palace enforcement isn’t about doing good for the sake of doing good.”
Xie Xuanyi softly stated, “Back then I told Si Qi, what the Sword Palace should do…
is simply to do more good deeds and collect more good outcomes, that’s all.”
Do more good deeds, collect more good outcomes.
So…
open more Law Enforcement Halls.
If the day comes when the Sword Qi Order spreads all over the world, why must a Da Sui Sword Cultivator necessarily pay homage through the mountain gate?
“Moreover, regarding the matter of ‘Law Enforcement Hall’…
you didn’t express any opposition, did you?”
“According to the custom of Golden Turtle Peak, not opposing is to allow.”
Xie Xuanyi raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the elder before him, and smiled, “Given your character, if you really didn’t want to wade into these muddy waters, who could have established the Law Enforcement Hall outside of Da Sui Sword Palace…
give Si Qi ten thousand guts, he wouldn’t dare to act in such a manner.”
The truth of the matter.
The real person standing behind Si Qi, who could influence the entire situation.
Was actually the Law Enforcement.
All the discussions, oppositions, and doubts.
In front of the Yang God Realm Sword Immortal, were all merely passing clouds.
This was also the reason why no one dared to interject when Xie Xuanyi proposed this idea back then.
At that time, Xie Xuanyi was already more powerful than all those who wanted to “question” him combined.
The gazebo was silent for a long while.
A moment later.
The Law Enforcement softly sighed out one word: “Fine.”
He looked at the disciple of Zhao Chunyang, his eyes flashing with countless complex emotions, and in the end, all his words converged into that one word.
This word was his stance on the matter.
