After the punishment of this young master of the White Crane Gate was completed, this matter came to an end. The cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above who had come to disrupt the execution, but were actually there to destroy the Xuan Sect, were all imprisoned in the cultivator prison.
Once inside the cultivator prison, the ropes binding their magic treasures were loosened.
With their voices restored, some of them were shouting, some were silently weeping, and some were acting like lunatics.
The myriad aspects of humanity, all different.
...
Outside the cultivator prison, people began to disperse. The square in front of the prison tower was cleared.
Su Han returned to the highest main peak. The original buildings there had already been dismantled. A magical artifact building had been placed on top of the original site.
Su Han's voice echoed throughout the Xuan Sect: "The first batch of cultivator criminals has been executed. I hope everyone in the Xuan Sect will remember the sect rules and refrain from slaughtering ordinary people. Otherwise, the fate of these cultivator criminals today will be your fate tomorrow."
After Su Han finished speaking, the entire Xuan Sect became solemn.
Inside the cultivator prison, the cultivator criminals knew that from this moment on, the world of cultivators in the Southern Region had changed.
However, these cultivators were thinking too conservatively. It wasn't just the Southern Region's cultivation world that would change, but the entire cultivation world of Xiuqi Star.
Having read many novels, Su Han knew that in this world of cultivators, strength was paramount. To make the Xuan Sect a first-class sect in this world, its reputation had to be established. Under normal circumstances, it would take an immeasurable amount of time to build a reputation. After all, gaining recognition from others required a lot of spiritual energy.
Su Han believed that besides a good reputation, a bad reputation was also a method used by these first-class sects. A good reputation took a very long time.
A bad reputation, on the other hand, could spread quickly. To gain a bad reputation, the Xuan Sect could become a demonic sect and go on a killing spree. But Su Han wasn't here to do evil deeds.
Thus, Su Han conceived of becoming a punitive sect. He then established a cultivator prison. This cultivator prison would undoubtedly have a bad reputation among cultivators. However, relative to the ordinary people of this world, this cultivator prison was a good thing.
After the thirty-seven cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above were all imprisoned, the Xuan Sect even dispatched drones to various cultivator sects in the Southern Region to distribute flyers. These flyers clearly explained the reasons for these individuals' sentencing. They were also accompanied by images, providing visual evidence.
The entire Southern Region's cultivation world was once again shocked and in an uproar. Previously, when the Xuan Sect had dealt with the demonic sects, they had thought the Xuan Sect had merely surpassed the most powerful demonic sect. But this time, imprisoning thirty-seven Golden Core stage cultivators at once, including two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, directly proved the Xuan Sect's immense power. After all, the Xuan Sect had captured all of them in one go.
With the Golden Core stage cultivators of the Southern Region's cultivation world captured, the overall strength of the Southern Region's cultivation world had been significantly weakened.
Following this incident, cultivators in the Southern Region began to warn their disciples not to act recklessly outside. Under these circumstances, ordinary people in the Southern Region also began to live peaceful lives.
Of course, some cultivators still didn't believe in the Xuan Sect's power and continued to act recklessly. However, after the Xuan Sect's drones captured evidence of their misbehavior, Xuan Sect disciples would emerge to apprehend them and bring them to the cultivator prison.
The Xuan Sect's manpower was actually insufficient, but after capturing those thirty-seven cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above in one fell swoop, the remaining sects quieted down.
During this period, the Xuan Sect did not immediately extend the cultivator prison to the Northern Region.
This was because the Xuan Sect still needed to accumulate more strength during this time.
On the peak specifically designated for artifact refining within the Xuan Sect, Su Han sat cross-legged before a refining furnace.
Su Han was currently engaged in artifact refining.
Beside him, Chu Shi was also assisting.
After two hours of artifact refining, a magical rope emerged from the refining furnace.
Su Han said, "This is the hundredth magical rope. Refining this type of magical rope is quite draining of spiritual energy."
Chu Shi, standing nearby, replied, "But for our Xuan Sect, this rope-like magical artifact is quite useful. Even the rope-like magical artifacts we refine can bind a Nascent Soul stage cultivator."
Su Han nodded. "Indeed, this is mainly because the grade of this refining furnace is too high. These rope-like magical artifacts can easily reach the level of top-grade magical artifacts. However, the consumption is also considerable. Refining one consumes ten top-grade spirit stones."
The rope-like magical artifacts used by the Xuan Sect to capture cultivator criminals were refined by Su Han. This refining method was learned from that jade slip containing refining knowledge. The refining method was simple and very effective. The materials for these ropes were also seized by the Xuan Sect when they confiscated goods from the demonic sects.
Su Han continued, "Unfortunately, we still have too few of these rope-like magical artifacts. Once the number of rope-like magical artifacts reaches one hundred and fifty, we will begin our assault on the Northern Region!"
Even though a magical rope could be refined in just two hours, Su Han and Chu Shi, working together, could only refine one per day.
So, at a rate of one per day, after the fiftieth day, the number of rope-like magical artifacts finally reached one hundred and fifty. Among them, only a hundred Xuan Sect disciples were equipped with these rope-like magical artifacts. The remaining fifty rope-like magical artifacts were kept in reserve for future distribution to new disciples.
After completing the refining of the magical artifacts, Su Han rested for another day before holding a mobilization meeting.
Su Han delivered a rousing speech and announced, "Next, our cultivator prison will be extended to the Northern Region of this continent. The cultivation world in the Northern Region must also be brought under the control of the cultivator prison. We will establish the Xuan Sect cultivator prison in the Northern Region's cultivation world."
Following the mobilization, a large number of hover platforms flew in from a distance.
Half of the Xuan Sect's disciples boarded these hover platforms.
"Depart!"
A large number of hover platforms ascended, their sheer number obscuring the entire peak.
In the cultivation world, hover platforms like these possessed an immortal style. Fully enclosed carriages, on the other hand, embodied a technological style. Standing on the hover platform, feeling the wind, and using spiritual energy to anchor oneself to the platform.
The hover platforms rose continuously. As they ascended into areas with strong winds, each Xuan Sect disciple exerted significant spiritual energy to secure themselves, preventing them from being blown away.
"Everyone hold on tight. Once we reach the stratosphere, there won't be such strong winds."
Both the native Xuan Sect disciples and Su Han had learned about the knowledge of the troposphere and stratosphere.
The hover platforms ascended rapidly. In less than half an hour, they reached the stratosphere. Above the stratosphere, the winds ceased, and the Xuan Sect disciples relaxed.
