Chapter 332 Legalist Laws
Wang Bing's farcical contest did not leave much of a ripple in the process of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

After the match ended, Zhuge Qing returned to the stands to continue watching the next match.

The following matches, while not as earth-shattering as his battle with Liu Xian, each had their own highlights.

One of the matches was between Zhang Chulan and Tang Wenlong of the Tang Clan.

The Tang Clan disciples are renowned for their hidden weapons and poisons. Tang Wenlong's movements were elusive as soon as he entered the arena, with his hands hidden in his sleeves, giving people a great sense of oppression.

However, Zhang Chulan took his shameless style to the extreme. Because of his performance a few days ago, everyone present couldn't help but look down on him, including Tang Wenlong on the other side.

Taking advantage of this carelessness, Zhang Chulan unleashed his full power of lightning magic as soon as he entered the arena, displaying unimaginable strength.

Tang Wenlong was clearly bewildered by Zhang Chulan's actions, and even when he was defeated, he still had an incredulous expression on his face.

The audience in the stands were also a bit confused. Judging from the speed Zhang Chulan had just displayed, he was definitely not an ordinary fighter. Even if they went head-to-head, he might not be able to lose. Was it necessary to use these tricks?

Such methods have earned praise from the older generation.

Zhuge Qing shook his head, saying that such an approach had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is, of course, the same as before, that you can catch the opponent off guard, but the disadvantage is equally obvious, that is, you lose the greater good.

This "shameless" label will probably be stuck with him for life...

If this kid becomes a Celestial Master in the future, then the reputation of Longhu Mountain will probably decline.

Immediately after that match ended, Feng Baobao's match began.

Her opponent is Xiao Xiao of the Lu family, who possesses the unique skill of "Squeezing Qi," which can shake the enemy's soul and spirit with sound.

As the competition began, Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and suddenly let out a strange sonic roar.

The sound was not simply a loud bang, but a strange frequency that could penetrate flesh and reach the soul.

Many of the weaker practitioners on the sidelines turned pale and their blood surged.

However, Feng Baobao, who was at the center of the sound waves, just stood there blankly, blinking her eyes in confusion, as if wondering why the other party was only shouting and not making a move.

Xiao Xiao was stunned. He refused to believe it and continued to unleash his inner energy, each time more intense than the last. The entire arena was churned up by the invisible sound waves, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere.

Feng Baobao remained unresponsive, even taking two steps forward, tilting her head, and looking at him with her clear but empty eyes.

With their signature tactics ineffective, the outcome of this match was naturally a foregone conclusion.

Finally, Feng Baobao seized the opportunity to get close and delivered a clean and decisive chop to the back of his neck.

Xiao Xiao's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

Steady body and impeccable spirit...that's really impressive...

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Qing also expressed his admiration, noting that Feng Baobao indeed had many aspects worthy of study.

His gaze shifted from the center of the arena, subtly sweeping across the audience.

Among the ordinary superhumans cheering or marveling at the competition, he keenly sensed some discordant "noises".

He was a wealthy businessman who looked bloated and had a friendly smile on his face, but the aura surrounding him carried an inescapable sense of bloodlust and resentment.

Not far away, a stylishly dressed young girl was chatting and laughing with her companion, but her aura was like a stagnant pool, so still it was unsettling.

Completeness.

These guys, as expected, all came.

If it weren't for this grand Luo Tian ceremony, given the Quanxing demons' capricious and undisciplined behavior, it would have been a pipe dream to gather them together on such a large scale.

This was truly thanks to the newly appointed leader of the Quanxing Sect, who lured all the hyenas scattered across the world to Longhu Mountain.

This is also why he initially advised Zhao Fangxu to temporarily maintain the strategy of "monitoring but not suppressing" Quanxing.

On the one hand, the company's current armed forces are insufficient to carry out a thorough purge of Quanxing without causing major turmoil.

It would be meaningless for him or the Old Master to take action, because what he wants to prove is that the organization has the power to suppress everything, not just the personal physical strength of any one person.

On the other hand, it is to maintain the original trajectory, so that all the pieces move onto the chessboard according to the predetermined script.

Only when they are all gathered together can he most easily... make his move.

After several rounds of competition, dusk was approaching, and the setting sun, like blood, painted the outline of Longhu Mountain with a magnificent golden hue. The first day of competition had come to a temporary end.

Without the constraints of their elders, the younger generation of extraordinary individuals quickly became active, forming groups of three or five and making appointments to meet in town.

The noise and energy dispelled the tension of the daytime competition, and the air was filled with the breath of youth.

Lu Linglong, Feng Xingtong, and others also came over and warmly invited the Zhuge brothers to come along.

Zhuge Bai had been feeling down since being decisively defeated by Zhang Lingyu during the day, but now that he saw something exciting to join in, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Zhuge Qing patted his younger brother on the shoulder and smiled gently:

"Go ahead and interact with your peers; it will benefit your cultivation. I have some things to do, so I won't go."

He pushed Zhuge Bai into the group of young people, and only after watching them leave arm in arm, making a ruckus, did the smile on his face slowly fade.

He turned and went back to the guest room that had been arranged for them.

The room was elegant; opening the window revealed a range of mountains shrouded in twilight. A gentle evening breeze carried the fragrance of bamboo, ruffling the hair on his forehead.

Without lighting a lamp, he took out several items from his bag in the dim light.

They were jade pieces with a peculiar texture, neither blue nor white in color, and shimmering with a strange metallic luster in the dim light.

He also took out a pen, the handle of which was made of an unknown animal bone, but the tip was not a hair, but a cluster of condensed, crystal-like silver metal wire.

He sat cross-legged, laid out the jade pieces one by one in front of him, then picked up a brush, dipped it in a dark red liquid that resembled cinnabar but was more viscous, and began to carve on the jade pieces.

His movements were extremely focused; the strange brushstrokes moved across the jade piece without making a sound, yet left behind deep and complex patterns.

Those patterns are not any kind of runes known today; their strokes are full of cold, rigid angles, which, when combined, form a daunting pattern.

Those are pre-Qin period texts, or more accurately, texts of "laws and decrees" unique to the Legalist school of Qin.

This is the result of excavation work conducted several years ago outside the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.

Even with the support of the company's top team and equipment, that operation still came at a heavy price.

Because what they were facing was not a conventional mechanism or formation, but a power system whose lineage had long been severed.

Among the various schools of thought, Taoism borrowed the power of heaven and earth, Confucianism cultivated a righteous spirit, and Mohism studied the ingenuity of mechanisms and creation.

The Legalists, too, draw upon the power of all living beings.

However, this power does not originate from the "faith" and "desire" of sentient beings towards the gods, but rather from their "fear" of the "Dharma".

The stricter the law and the more severe the punishment, the stronger the awe and respect for the law will be among the people.

This invisible and immense spiritual force will form a unique and absolute Qimen formation within the territory covered by the law.

Within this area, everyone, regardless of their cultivation level, must act in accordance with the rules of the law.

Once violated, law enforcement can use this power to punish offenders.

That was an unreasonable trial.

However, due to historical reasons and the need for inheritance, this method was also buried along with the Qin Empire.

Only in places like the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, sealed by time, can one glimpse the tip of the iceberg.

That power was cold and ruthless, like the way of heaven.

Fortunately, he had also researched similar methods, namely the sealing and capture capabilities possessed by the three sets of armor in the Armor World.

This module was added by Planet Ares after it acquired three sets of Flame Star Armor, with the same purpose of punishing violators.

With the addition of Zhuge Shenling's special abilities, he eventually succeeded in breaking through this power and mastering it.

This also added corresponding functions to the armor in this world, which is why he judged that the time was ripe.

What he needs to do now is to use these magical artifacts, which carry the "laws," as the core of the formation and place them at various nodes of Longhu Mountain.

He intends to use the entire Longhu Mountain as a prison, and the absolute laws of the Qin Legalist school as shackles, to trap those Quanxing heretics who have willingly walked into his net...
