Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 58 Zi Dong must be severely punished
Almost everyone on Yuntian Peak rushed to the vicinity of Zi Dong's cave. Even Zhou Yunting flew over quickly and immediately ordered the elders to set up a barrier.

Zi Dong's actions this time were far too violent; even the deacons couldn't withstand the raging spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

If he and Donglai Ziqi hadn't been frantically absorbing the raging spiritual energy of heaven and earth, firmly restraining it above his cave dwelling, the nearby cave dwellings would have been basically destroyed.

"Sect Master, Zi Dong must be severely punished!" Elder Feng Song finally seized the opportunity and shouted angrily at Zhou Yunting from high in the sky.

Zi Dong is going to demolish Yuntian Peak. If he is not severely punished, Yuntian Peak will become a ruin in the future.

The Yuntian Sect has explicit rules that everyone, including the sect leader and the supreme elders, must cultivate within their own controllable range.

Except for those who ascend to immortality through tribulation in the central mainland, because the lightning tribulation will bring the Yuntian Sect tenth-grade fortune, and they only need to set up an array to protect it.

"How does the Grand Elder intend to punish him?" Zhou Yunting couldn't speak up for Zi Dong either; the rules of the Yuntian Sect couldn't be broken.

"Zi Dong is to be confined to the Cliff of Repentance in the back mountains for three years!" Elder Feng Song, who is in charge of law enforcement in the Yuntian Sect, considers this punishment fair.

Zhou Yunting remained silent with a gloomy expression. He decided to let Zi Dong calm down, since he still had plenty of luck.

"Sect Master, the disciple guarding the mountain gate reports that the people of Baijia Village want to see Zi Dong," Elder Yuan Chen said as he walked over.

"Baijia Village?!" Zhou Yunting looked at Elder Yuanchen in bewilderment. He had never even heard of such a place. Could it be Zi Dong's hometown?
"Sect Master, Baijia Village is where Zi Dong conducted his last trial," Elder Yuan Chen quickly reminded him, as he was also unsure why the people of Baijia Village wanted to see Zi Dong.

"Let them wait a bit." Zhou Yunting didn't take it seriously. They were just a bunch of mortals; what good could they possibly bring to Zi Dong?
"Elder, flying is strictly prohibited on Cloud Sky Peak. Did you fly too high?" Elder Yuanchen suddenly shouted at Feng Song.

He manages the Deacon Hall and is responsible for security at Yuntian Peak. This time, Elder Feng Song has run into his line of fire.

With a "whoosh," everyone's gaze turned to the lofty Elder Feng Song, who was almost flying into the pale purple clouds.

Feng Song glared angrily at Elder Yuan Chen. There were many people flying over just now, including Zhou Yunting.

Elder Yuanchen singled him out, clearly dissatisfied with his punishment of Zi Dong, and he regretted that the punishment was too lenient.

Elder Feng Song quickly landed on the ground, feeling somewhat embarrassed in front of everyone. He couldn't help but glare at Elder Yuan Chen, who had made him lose face!

"Sect Master, the people from Baijia Village have come to thank Zidong, and they've brought us lots of delicious food!"

Just as everyone was waiting for Zi Dong to finish his cultivation so they could watch the show, Zhou Xinyu rushed over, carrying a wicker basket.

When she heard that the people from Baijia Village had arrived, she knew it was a good thing, because Zidong had taught them how to get rich.

So he quickly ran down the mountain, asked around, grabbed a basket, and ran back to report the news.

"Why should the people of Baijia Village thank Zidong?!" Zhou Yunting glanced at Zhou Xinyu, then at Elder Yuanchen, suspecting that the two were putting on an act.

"Sect Leader, try the flower cakes from Baijia Village first!" Zhou Xinyu excitedly lifted the lid of the basket, revealing rows of golden-brown cakes inside.

It looked very tempting, with sesame seeds sprinkled on top, and a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out, causing everyone to turn their gazes toward Elder Feng Song.

The ultimate way to enjoy gossip is to eat it! Anything will do. You eat while watching the show, and the more you eat, the better it tastes, and the more you watch, the more exciting it becomes!
"Hmm, not bad, not bad!" Zhou Yunting picked up a flower cake, praising it as he ate. Everyone watched him eat with relish, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Come on, everyone, have a taste!" Zhou Xinyu immediately distributed the food to everyone; this was all thanks to Zi Dong.

"He who accepts a gift is bound to be grateful," and they were waiting for everyone to speak well of Zi Dong. People's livelihood issues were also a major concern for the Yun Tian Sect.

"Zhou Xinyu, did Zi Dong teach the people of Baijia Village to make these delicious flower cakes?!" Elder Yuanchen asked loudly while eating. The entire Azure Dragon Mountain Range belongs to the Yuntian Sect. If the people are impoverished, it will hinder the development of the Yuntian Sect.

"Baijia Village was extremely poor. After Zidong taught them this method, they not only became rich, but also became famous throughout the Qinglong Mountains!"

Zhou Xinyu quickly tried to flatter Zi Dong, saying that Zi Dong had only given a hint and that the flower cakes were a product of the Baijia Village people's own creativity.

"Sect Master, Zi Dong must be richly rewarded for this. If all the villages become prosperous, our Yuntian Sect will become even stronger!"

Elder Yuanchen immediately elevated this matter to a level concerning the fate of the entire Yuntian Sect, stating that Zidong was a model of wealth and success!
"Elder, what do you think about making Zi Dong's merits and demerits cancel each other out?" Zhou Yunting quickly seized the opportunity, deciding not to reward Zi Dong and therefore not to punish him.

"As the sect leader says." Elder Feng Song did not insist any further. The matter of Feng Yuntian was still unresolved, and he could not afford to provoke Zhou Yunting, as it would bring annihilation to the Feng family.

The purple aura from the east finally helped more than a dozen demon cultivators condense their spiritual bodies, and like the four demonesses who played musical instruments, they all became amethysts.

The spiritual energy above the cave gradually returned to calm, and the purple aura from the east brought a group of spirits back into Zi Dong's body.

Zi Dong finally stabilized his Core Formation Realm. His dantian was almost completely filled with a purple-gold crystal ball, which slowly rotated and exchanged true qi with his meridians.

The Golden Core contained not only Zi Dong's divine soul, but also the purple aura from the east. Although it was not abundant, it was still within his control.

Could it be that the purple aura from the east was a gift to thank me?

Or is he planting a time bomb within his own golden core?!
Zi Dong was puzzled for a while but couldn't figure it out. Donglai Ziqi wouldn't answer him either, so he quickly got up and left the cave.

"Zi Dong, the people from Baijia Village are all waiting at the foot of the mountain, hurry up and go check!"

Just as Zi Dong was about to pay his respects to the sect leader, Zhou Xinyu immediately ran over and pulled him down the mountain.

"Baijia Village?!" Zi Dong was taken aback. He glanced at Zhou Yunting, who was smiling at him, and had no choice but to follow Zhou Xinyu down the mountain.

"If the people from Baijia Village hadn't arrived in time, you would have been punished by the Grand Elder to face the wall in contemplation on the cliff behind the mountain!"

After getting away from the people around the cave, Zhou Xinyu slowed down and began to berate Zi Dong.

"Why am I being punished by facing the wall?!" Zi Dong was baffled. He was cultivating peacefully in his cave and hadn't done anything wrong.

"You not only created a group of demons, but you also almost destroyed Cloud Heaven Peak. Facing the wall in confinement is already a light punishment!"

Zhou Xinyu glared at Zi Dong. This guy had made such a big fuss, yet he was completely unaware of it.

"Those demons and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are completely under my control, so why is the Grand Elder punishing me?!"

Zi Dong immediately stopped in his tracks, looking as if he was about to go back and confront the Grand Elder; he was retaliating!
"The Grand Elder is in charge of the enforcement team, and the Sect Master shouldn't interfere too much. Don't try to take advantage of the situation and act innocent!"

Zhou Xinyu grabbed Zi Dong and quickly continued walking down the mountain; this was already the best possible outcome.

Upon seeing Zi Dong, the village chief of Baijia Village immediately led the village representatives to kneel down and kowtow, as Zi Dong was a great benefactor of Baijia Village.

"Baijia Village also belongs to Yuntian Sect. As the sect leader's personal disciple and the senior brother of Yuntian Peak, it is my duty. No need for thanks!"

Zi Dong immediately adopted the airs of a department head, pardoned the villagers' lavish gifts, and invited them to the Demon Hunter Headquarters by Dragon Saliva Lake for a reception.
