Punishment of Xuanfa the Celestial Venerable

In this world, cultivators walked the path from Qi Refining to Divine Transformation, each realm a chasm of power. But there was a peculiar law that governed this land: male cultivators were few, yet they alone wielded the ability to take female cultivators as their female slaves. The method was simple—spanking the buttocks until they were raw and red. It was a ritual of ownership, and when performed, both parties' cultivation accelerated. Most female cultivators despised it, but the imbalance of power made resistance difficult.

Xuanfa the Celestial Venerable was a man who needed no title to announce his arrival. Dressed in black training clothes that hugged his cold, handsome frame, he moved through the world like a blade cutting silk. He was in the Divine Transformation Great Perfection, one of the strongest in existence, and his finger techniques could tear mountains apart. But his favorite pastime was spanking women's buttocks—the sound of palm striking flesh was music to his ears.

Today, a disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect had offended him. It was a trivial matter: she had spilled tea on his robes while serving at a banquet. But Xuanfa did not forgive. He never forgave. He arrived at the sect's gates with the sun high overhead, his aura pressing down like a mountain.

The Immortal Cloud Sect was an all-female sect, nestled in a valley of mist and jade. Its buildings were white and pristine, bells chiming on temple roofs. The moment his presence was felt, the female cultivators scrambled, their faces pale. Lin Qing, the disciple who had spilled the tea, was the first to step forward, trembling.

Xuanfa did not speak. He merely extended his hand, and a gust of wind pulled Lin Qing to him. He bent her over his knee, and before anyone could react, his palm descended. *Slap. Slap. Slap.* Each strike was measured, methodical. Lin Qing's robes did little to cushion the blows, and soon her buttocks were a deep, raw red. She cried out, tears streaming down her face, but Xuanfa continued until he was satisfied.

"Your debt is paid," he said, his voice cold as winter stone.

But he was not done. "All of you," he said, gesturing to the gathered disciples. "You saw your sister offend me, and you did nothing. You are all complicit. Over my knee, every one of you."

The disciples looked at each other in horror. Some began to flee, but Xuanfa's finger flicked, and a barrier of qi sealed the courtyard. One by one, he pulled them over his knee, spanking each until her buttocks were raw. Some screamed, some begged, some went silent. He showed no mercy, no hesitation.

The news reached Shen Mengyue in her meditation chamber. She was the sect leader of Immortal Cloud Sect, a woman in the Divine Transformation middle stage, with waist-length black hair and fair skin that held both ethereal purity and seductive charm. She wore a black and white Daoist robe that flowed like water. In her hand, she held her sword.

"Stop," she said, her voice resonating as she stepped into the courtyard.

Xuanfa paused, a disciple still over his knee, her buttocks bright red. He looked up, and for the first time, a flicker of interest crossed his cold eyes.

"Ah, the sect leader herself. I was wondering when you would come."

"Release my disciples," Shen Mengyue said, her hand tightening on her sword hilt. "They have suffered enough."

"Enough?" Xuanfa stood, letting the disciple scramble away. He brushed the dust from his black robes. "You think a few spanks are suffering? I have not even begun. Your entire sect offends me. I will spank every woman here until your mountain is painted red."

Shen Mengyue's eyes narrowed. She had no choice. "Then I will fight you."

Xuanfa smiled—a cold, rare thing. "Good. It will be more entertaining."

The battle erupted in an instant. Shen Mengyue's sword was a streak of moonlight, slicing through the air with divine intent. She was fast, powerful, a storm of blade and qi. But Xuanfa did not even draw a weapon. He raised his hand, and his fingers moved like dancing shadows. Each flick sent a beam of energy that intercepted her strikes, deflected her sword, pushed her back.

She attacked high, then low, her sword forming a crescent of light that could split a mountain. Xuanfa sidestepped, his fingers pressing against her blade, redirecting its force. He was using only seventy percent of his power, and he was toying with her.

Shen Mengyue felt the gap. It was not wide—it was an abyss. She gathered her cultivation base, pouring everything into a single strike. Her sword blazed with white light, the air around it cracking. "Heavenly Fall!" she cried, and the sword descended like a star.

Xuanfa raised one finger. He tapped the sword's edge.

The force shattered. The light dissipated. Shen Mengyue's sword flew from her hands, spinning through the air before embedding itself in the courtyard stone. She stumbled, her legs giving way, and she fell to her knees. Her robes were torn, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

She looked up, horror dawning on her face, as Xuanfa walked toward her. His footsteps were measured, deliberate. He stopped before her, looking down.

"Shen Mengyue, Sect Leader of Immortal Cloud. You fought well. But you are still weak."

She tried to rise, but her body refused. Her cultivation was drained, her meridians screaming. She could only watch as he reached down and grabbed her by the collar of her Daoist robe.

"Now," he said, his voice soft and cruel, "I think it is your turn."

Half a year had passed in the Xuantian Realm, and the routine had become as predictable as the phases of the moon. Each morning, Li Que and Lin Qiaoxin would crawl on all fours behind Xuanfa, their naked bodies glistening with a thin layer of sweat under the gentle sun. The leather leashes around their necks trailed like obedient serpents, leading them through the corridors of the floating palace. They had grown accustomed to the weight of the Heavenly Dao planks that descended upon their raised buttocks with merciless precision—two hundred strikes per day, without fail. The pain had become a familiar companion, a constant hum in their nerves that dulled only slightly after the healing elixirs were applied. Yet, each session left them raw, their buttocks a canvas of bruises and welts that would heal just in time for the next round.

On this particular morning, they knelt before Xuanfa in the grand hall, their knees pressed into the cold stone floor. The air was still, heavy with the scent of incense and the lingering residue of previous punishments. Lin Qiaoxin's low twin-tails brushed her shoulders as she looked up at him with wide, playful eyes, while Li Que's red hair fell forward, her posture proud even in submission. They had learned that obedience brought no leniency, but perhaps it could earn them a moment of his attention.

"Master," Lin Qiaoxin began, her voice sweet yet laced with a hint of mischief. "Li Que and I have been thinking. You have taught us much in these past months. But we wish to please you even more."

Li Que nodded, her chin lifting slightly. "We have heard whispers among the cultivators. The entire cultivation world knows of Shen Mengyue's shame—how she was stripped and knelt before her own sect hall, her buttocks raised for your planks. But they do not yet know of us. Of your new female slaves."

Xuanfa remained still, his black training clothes stark against the pale marble. His cold, handsome face betrayed no emotion, but his eyes flickered with interest. "Go on."

Lin Qiaoxin smiled, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone. "We propose that you lead us—crawling naked like dogs—to the highest platform in Wuling City. And let Shen Mengyue's disciples bring her as well, leashed and crawling. We three will kneel in a row, upper bodies pressed to the ground, our fat buttocks raised high. And you will summon the Heavenly Dao planks to spank all three of us until our buttocks are mangled, so broken that even a cultivator would need a week to recover. Then you will force our legs apart and whip our butt cracks severely, until our anuses and vaginas are swollen and raw. After that, you will insert anal hooks into our anuses and hang us for a week of public display. It will please you, Master."

Li Que's lips curled into a thin smile. "We offer this willingly. To show the world that your power extends beyond the Immortal Cloud Sect. That even the vice leader of the Crimson Sparrow Sect and the genius formation master bow to your will."

For a long moment, Xuanfa said nothing. The silence stretched until Lin Qiaoxin's heart began to beat faster, a flicker of uncertainty crossing her face. Then he spoke, his voice low and smooth like ice sliding over stone. "Your suggestion has merit. The public display will remind the realm of my authority. But first, I wish to try a new punishment."

He stepped forward, his finger tracing the air, and a vial of golden liquid materialized in his hand. It shimmered with an inner light, and the moment it appeared, both Lin Qiaoxin and Li Que felt a sharp, burning scent invade their nostrils. "Divine ginger," Xuanfa said, his tone almost casual. "Crushed and mixed with the essence of a heavenly flame. When poured into one's intestines, it will feel as though a red-hot iron rod has been inserted into your anus. You will learn to endure without losing control."

Lin Qiaoxin's eyes widened, but she did not flinch. Li Que's jaw tightened, a flicker of defiance in her gaze that quickly faded into submission. They had chosen this path. They would not back down.

"Kneel," Xuanfa commanded. "Raise your buttocks. Spread your anuses."

They obeyed without hesitation. Lin Qiaoxin bent forward, her palms flat on the floor, and lifted her hips until her buttocks were high and exposed. She reached back with both hands, pulling her cheeks apart, feeling the cool air on her most intimate entrance. Beside her, Li Que did the same, her athletic body taut, her red hair falling around her face. Their anuses were already pink from the daily spankings, but now they trembled slightly, anticipating the invasion.

Xuanfa approached Lin Qiaoxin first. He uncorked the vial, and the golden liquid seemed to pulse with heat. Without warning, he pressed the tip of the vial to her anus and tilted it. The liquid flowed in like molten fire, and Lin Qiaoxin's body tensed instantly. A cry escaped her lips—sharp, breathless, almost a scream. The sensation was exactly as he had described: a red-hot iron rod, burning and stretching, burrowing into her insides. Her intestines constricted, trying to expel the liquid, but she fought to hold it in. Her fingers dug into the stone floor, her knuckles white. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and a low moan escaped her throat.

"Hold it," Xuanfa said coldly. "Do not expel a single drop."

Lin Qiaoxin nodded, her breath ragged. The liquid settled deep within her, a constant, agonizing heat that made her feel as though her bowels were being cooked from the inside. Her anus clenched involuntarily, squeezing against the empty air, but she forced herself to relax, to accept the burn.

Then Xuanfa moved to Li Que. He repeated the process, pouring the same amount of golden liquid into her anus. Li Que's reaction was more controlled—she bit her lip, her eyes squeezed shut, but her body betrayed her. A violent shudder ran through her spine, and her thighs trembled as the fire spread through her. She let out a low, guttural growl, but she did not scream. Her pride demanded that much.

When both were filled, Xuanfa stepped back, his hands clasped behind his back. "Now, the daily two hundred strikes of the Heavenly Dao planks. You will receive them while maintaining control. If you expel the fluid, the punishment will be doubled."

Lin Qiaoxin's mind raced. Two hundred strikes—each one hard enough to bruise her buttocks to pulp—while keeping her anus sealed against the burning liquid inside. She had endured much, but this seemed impossible. Yet there was no choice.

The air above them shimmered, and the first plank materialized. It was a slab of translucent energy, inscribed with runes that glowed with oppressive power. It hovered for a moment, then descended with a whistling crack. It struck Lin Qiaoxin's right buttock with a sound like thunder, and her entire body jolted. The impact sent a shockwave through her flesh, and the burning liquid inside her sloshed dangerously. She clenched her sphincter, fighting the urge to release, as tears welled in her eyes.

The second plank struck Li Que, and the sound echoed through the hall. Li Que's body bucked, but she held her position, her red hair flying. The plank left a deep red welt across her buttock, and she gritted her teeth, her breath hissing through her nose.

The planks fell in a relentless rhythm—one after another, each strike harder than the last. Lin Qiaoxin's buttocks soon became a mess of purple bruises and open welts. The pain was blinding, but it was nothing compared to the burning in her intestines. The discomfort of the liquid had grown into a searing, cramping agony. It felt as though she had swallowed a sun, and it was trying to claw its way out of her. Her rectum pulsed, the muscles spasming against the heat, and she had to consciously relax them, forcing them to remain open and receptive to the fire.

After fifty strikes, Lin Qiaoxin's control began to falter. A wave of nausea hit her, and her entire body convulsed. A small gush of liquid escaped her anus, dribbling down her thighs. She gasped, her eyes wide with horror.

Xuanfa's voice was ice. "Your punishment is doubled. Four hundred strikes."

"No—please—" Lin Qiaoxin started, but the words died in her throat. The planks did not stop. They continued to fall, harder now, as if sensing her failure.

Li Que watched her companion's ordeal, her own body trembling. The heat inside her was unbearable, a molten river that threatened to burst through her. She focused on her breathing, on the discipline she had learned in countless battles. She would not fail. She would not.

At the hundredth strike, Li Que's buttocks were a bloody mess. The flesh had split in places, and the blood mixed with sweat, staining the floor. She bit her tongue so hard that she tasted copper. The burning liquid shifted within her, and she felt a desperate urge to expel it, to let it pour out and end this torture. But she held firm.

One hundred fifty. The hall was filled with the sound of flesh being pummeled. Lin Qiaoxin was sobbing now, her body shuddering with each blow. The second batch of one hundred strikes was a blur of pain, and at the two hundredth she felt something give inside her. The liquid rushed out in a hot, desperate flood, splattering onto the floor behind her.

"Four hundred," Xuanfa said again, his voice devoid of pity. "For each of you. Li Que, you have held until now. One hundred more and you will be free of this session. But Lin Qiaoxin, you will receive four hundred more. You will learn to obey."

Lin Qiaoxin's cries filled the hall as the planks descended again. The Heavenly Dao planks seemed to gain a mind of their own, targeting the same spots, splitting the already broken skin. Her buttocks were no longer recognizable—they were a pulpy, mangled mass of flesh and blood. The enema fluid had mostly been expelled, but the memory of its burning lingered, making even the air feel like fire.

Li Que endured the final hundred with her eyes closed. She imagined herself as a mountain, immovable, unshakable. The pain was a storm that beat against her, but she would not break. At the last strike, she collapsed forward, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Her buttocks were raw hamburger, but she had not expelled the fluid. She had succeeded.

Xuanfa walked around them, surveying his work. "You have done well, Li Que. And you, Lin Qiaoxin, have learned that there is a cost to weakness. Tomorrow, you will both repeat this punishment. And the day after. Until you can endure without failure."

He turned and left them there, naked, bleeding, and trembling on the cold stone. The burning liquid still simmered inside Li Que's intestines, a constant reminder of her submission. And in the distance, the plan for the public display in Wuling City began to take shape in her mind. But that was for another day. For now, there was only the pain, and the endless cycle of cultivation, spanking, and healing.

The morning sun cast long shadows through the streets of Wuling City as Xuanfa walked through the main gate, a black training-clad figure of cold authority. In each hand, he held a leather leash that gleamed with a faint spiritual sheen, the ends attached to collars wrapped around the slender necks of two women who crawled behind him on all fours.

Lin Qiaoxin's red hair hung loose about her shoulders, her naked body glistening with a thin sheen of sweat in the morning light. Beside her, Li Que's athletic form moved with reluctant grace, her red ponytail swaying with each crawl. Both bore the unmistakable marks of discipline—their buttocks were covered in a lattice of red and purple bruises, some fresh, others fading, a testament to their new master's constant attention to their posterior punishment.

The streets of Wuling City fell silent as the trio progressed. Merchants stopped hawking their wares. Children were pulled behind their mothers' skirts. A group of young cultivators from the Azure Wind Sect gaped openly, their eyes tracing the curve of the two women's exposed forms, the way their breasts swayed as they crawled, the tightness of their buttocks as they moved on hands and knees.

"Is that... Lin Qiaoxin, the formation genius?" a young man whispered to his companion.

"And Li Que, the vice sect leader of Crimson Sparrow Sect!" the other replied, his voice trembling. "I saw her fight at the Eastern Tournament last year. She defeated three Divine Transformation cultivators in a row!"

But what drew the most attention were the unnatural ways the women moved. Every few steps, Lin Qiaoxin would shudder violently, her back arching, her fingers digging into the stone street. Li Que's jaw was clenched so tight that the muscles in her neck stood out like cords. Their entire bodies trembled with each crawl, and occasionally a soft whimper escaped their lips.

Inside Lin Qiaoxin's bowels, the ginger juice she had been force-fed that morning was doing its work. The sharp, burning liquid coated her insides, and with every movement of her body as she crawled, the spicy substance shifted and pressed against her most sensitive inner walls. The sensation was maddening—a combination of heat, pain, and an intense, humiliating awareness of her own body's reactions. Her anus clenched and unclenched involuntarily, but the pressure only forced the ginger juice deeper, spreading the burning sensation throughout her lower digestive tract.

Li Que suffered silently under the same torment. The proud warrior who had never bowed to anyone now crawled through the streets of a city where she had once been honored, her nakedness on display for hundreds of strangers, her insides burning with a fire that would not abate. She hated the way her body responded—the way her thighs trembled with each step, the way her vaginal walls clenched in response to the irritation spreading from her anus, the way her nipples had grown hard from a mixture of humiliation and physical arousal that she could not control.

A passerby, a middle-aged merchant with a leering grin, squatted down to get a better look at Lin Qiaoxin's body. "Well, well, aren't you a pretty little thing," he said, reaching out to touch her breast.

Lin Qiaoxin's eyes snapped to him, and even in her current state, the power of a Divine Transformation cultivator radiated from her gaze. The merchant stumbled backward, falling on his rear, his face pale. But before he could flee, Xuanfa's voice cut through the air like a blade.

"Touch her again, and I'll make you lick the streets clean while I watch."

There was no anger in his voice, no emotion at all—just a cold statement of fact that made the merchant scramble away as fast as his legs could carry him.

Lin Qiaoxin felt a strange pang of gratitude toward her master. It was confusing, this mixture of hatred and dependence, of humiliation and protection. But the gratitude faded quickly as another wave of ginger-induced burning swept through her, and she cried out, her forehead pressing against the cold stone as she fought to control herself.

Li Que crawled past her, their eyes meeting for a brief moment. In that glance, they shared an understanding—they were both suffering, both humiliated, both condemned to this existence. But they were also both alive, and both serving a master who had proven himself stronger than them. For Lin Qiaoxin, the trickster who loved games, there was almost a joy in this new game of endurance. For Li Que, who had always believed only the strongest should rule, there was a perverse satisfaction in serving someone who had genuinely defeated her.

But for a third woman, there was no such comfort.

On the other side of Wuling City, Shen Mengyue crawled through a different street, her disciples leading her on a chain that was far more humiliating than any ordinary leash. A dozen of her most loyal followers surrounded her, their faces set in grim determination as they parted the crowds that had gathered to witness the spectacle.

Shen Mengyue's waist-length black hair dragged through the dust and mud of the street. Her naked body, which had once been the object of admiration and desire in the cultivation world, was now exposed to the leering gazes of hundreds of cultivators and mortals alike. Her skin, once so fair and flawless, was now covered in dirt, sweat, and the remnants of her tears.

She had cried for three days straight after Xuanfa's judgment was passed. She had begged, pleaded, offered everything she had. But the Celestial Venerable was not moved by pleas. He had given his word—she would be paraded through Wuling City, stripped of all dignity, and then punished in public alongside his other slaves.

"Sect Leader," one of her disciples whispered, her voice choked with tears. "Please, just—just don't look at them. Think of something else."

But Shen Mengyue looked. She couldn't help it. Everywhere she turned, she saw faces—some filled with pity, some with disgust, some with undisguised lust. A group of young male cultivators from a minor sect were whispering to each other, their eyes fixed on her rear end as she crawled, and she could hear fragments of their conversation:

"...if I could just touch..."

"...Infinite riches of the Immortal Cloud Sect, and she's crawling like a dog..."

"I'd let her be my dog any day..."

Shen Mengyue's face burned with shame so intense that she thought her skin was on fire. But the physical humiliation was nothing compared to the spiritual devastation. She had built the Immortal Cloud Sect from nothing. She had fought demons, quelled rebellions, and trained thousands of disciples. She had been respected, feared, admired. And now she was crawling naked through the streets, a dog on a leash, her former glory reduced to a spectacle for the masses.

She remembered the day she had first met Xuanfa, when she had thought him just another arrogant cultivator. She remembered the argument that had led to her stripping and spanking in her own headquarters. She remembered the feeling of being thrown over his knee, of his hand descending on her bare buttocks, of the pain and humiliation that had seemed unbearable at the time.

And then she remembered what came after—being spanked again, and again, until her bottom was a mess of bruises and her dignity was in ruins. She remembered being paraded naked through her own sect, remembered the looks on her disciples' faces as they saw their sect leader reduced to this.

But this was worse. This was the entire cultivation world seeing her like this. The news that the Celestial Venerable was parading his three female slaves through Wuling City had spread like fire through dry grass, and cultivators from every corner of the continent had gathered to witness the fall of one of the greatest sects in history.

The leash tugged, and Shen Mengyue was forced to pick up speed. Her thighs ached, her palms were scraped raw from crawling, and her knees were bloody. But the physical pain was almost welcome—it distracted her from the crushing weight of her shame.

"Shen Mengyue! Look at me!" a voice called out.

She looked up and saw a middle-aged woman in the robes of the Crimson Sparrow Sect, a former ally. The woman's face was twisted with contempt.

"You once had my sect leader whipped for refusing to bow to the Immortal Cloud Sect's demands," the woman spat. "Now look at you. Crawling, naked, less than a dog. The heavens have finally repaid you for your arrogance!"

Shen Mengyue's disciples tensed, ready to defend her, but she shook her head. What could she say? The woman was right. She had been arrogant, cruel, unforgiving. She had built her sect through force and intimidation, and now the same force had been turned against her.

But the thought that hurt most was the knowledge that she had never been cruel to Xuanfa. She had argued with him, yes, but she had not harmed him, had not tried to dominate him. And yet he had destroyed her so thoroughly, so methodically, that she wondered if she had done something in a past life to deserve this.

The platform came into view—a massive wooden structure that had been built in the central plaza of Wuling City, high enough that everyone could see. On it stood Xuanfa, his black training clothes immaculate, his face expressionless. Behind him, Lin Qiaoxin and Li Que knelt in their dog-like posture, their heads down, their bruised buttocks presented to the crowd.

Shen Mengyue's disciples led her up the ramp, and the crowd pressed in on all sides. The platform was built to display three individuals, and now Shen Mengyue took her place beside the other two, her disciples attaching her leash to a hook on the ground.

"Remove yourselves," Xuanfa said to the disciples, and they hesitated, looking at their sect leader with pain in their eyes.

"Go," Shen Mengyue said, her voice barely a whisper. "It's over. You've done enough."

They left, and Shen Mengyue was alone on the platform with her tormentor and her fellow condemned.

Xuanfa looked at the three women kneeling before him, their heads lowered, their naked bodies covered in the marks of his discipline. The crowd had grown to thousands, filling the square, climbing onto rooftops, hovering on flying swords. The entire cultivation world was watching.

"Lin Qiaoxin," Xuanfa said, his voice carrying effortlessly across the square. "Li Que. You have served me faithfully since your punishment. Today, you join Shen Mengyue in receiving the justice she long deserved."

Lin Qiaoxin's heart raced with excitement. A public punishment! The ultimate game! She pressed her forehead to the ground, her voice steady: "We are grateful for your discipline, Master."

Beside her, Li Que echoed the words, though her voice was harsher. What she felt was not gratitude, but acceptance. She had lost, she was paying the price, and that was the way of the world.

Shen Mengyue said nothing. She couldn't speak. Her shame was so complete that her voice had died in her throat.

Xuanfa raised his hand, and the sky above the platform shimmered. A white board, formed of pure spiritual energy, materialized in the air. It was the Heavenly Dao plank, a tool used for ritual punishment, capable of striking with the force of heaven itself without killing the recipient.

"Assume the position," Xuanfa commanded.

Lin Qiaoxin and Li Que immediately obeyed, lowering their upper bodies to the ground, pressing their chests against the wooden planks of the platform, raising their buttocks high. Both women were experienced now—they knew the position that would expose their posteriors to the fullest extent.

Shen Mengyue resisted, her body frozen with shame. But a sharp tug on her leash from Xuanfa's spiritual energy forced her down, and she surrendered, her face pressed against the splintered wood, her rear end raised to the sky.

The crowd gasped. The three most beautiful women in the cultivation world, now presented like animals for punishment, their buttocks display

（本章内容较长，当前页面已截取部分内容）

The seventh morning dawned gray and heavy over Wuling City, the clouds pressing low as if the heavens themselves had grown weary of watching. The three figures hanging from the iron hooks in the central square had long since stopped struggling, their bodies limp and glistening with the sweat and filth of a week's torment. The crowd that had gathered daily to gawk had thinned, but a few dozen remained, their eyes still fixed on the naked women suspended above them.

Shen Mengyue's mind had fragmented sometime around the fourth day. The pain in her anus had become a constant, dull fire that radiated through her pelvis and up her spine, but it was the eyes that had broken her. Hundreds of eyes, thousands over the course of the week, all staring at the place where her dignity had been stripped away. The Immortal Cloud Sect disciples who had seen her bare buttocks being beaten by Xuanfa were one thing—they were her people, bound by loyalty and fear. But the merchants, the beggars, the children who pointed and laughed? That was another wound entirely, one that festered with each passing hour.

To her left, Lin Qiaoxin hung with her head drooped, her low twin-tails tangled and matted. The ginger juice that had been poured into her anus on the second day had long since been expelled, but her insides still burned with a raw, acidic ache. She had taken it better than the others, her playful nature finding dark humor even in this. On the fourth day, she had begun humming a children's song about a naughty rabbit who ate too many spicy radishes, her voice cracking but steady. It infuriated Shen Mengyue at first, until she realized that Lin Qiaoxin's madness was a kind of armor.

On the right, Li Que hung in silence, her red hair a wild curtain around her face. The athletic woman's body was taut with muscle and tension, but her pride, the thing that had defined her as the Crimson Sparrow Sect's unbeaten vice sect leader, had been systematically dismantled. She had submitted to Xuanfa willingly after her defeat, had accepted the slave collar and the role of female slave, but this public display had tested even her resolve. Yet when she met Shen Mengyue's eyes on the fifth day, there was no shame in them—only a cold acceptance that this was the price of serving a master like Xuanfa.

The week ended as it had begun, with no ceremony. At the precise moment the sun reached its zenith on the seventh day, the iron hooks descended, lowering the three women to the stone platform below. Their legs buckled, weak from disuse, and they collapsed onto the cold stone, their anuses raw and gaping. Shen Mengyue lay on her side, her chest heaving, her black hair splayed across the stone like a funeral shroud.

Xuanfa appeared as if from nowhere, his black training clothes immaculate, his handsome face devoid of expression. He stood before them, his hands clasped behind his back, and looked down at the three naked women with the cold appraisal of a merchant examining livestock.

"You have endured," he said, his voice flat. "That is good. Obedience is rewarded; stubbornness is punished."

Shen Mengyue forced herself to look up at him, her eyes red-rimmed and sunken. "Xuanfa... Xuanfa the Celestial Venerable," she rasped, her voice hoarse from days of screaming and crying. "I have been punished. My offense against you is paid. Please... please let me go. Let me return to the Immortal Cloud Sect. I will never cross you again."

Xuanfa's eyebrow arched slightly. "You misunderstand the nature of this," he said, stepping closer until his boots were inches from her face. "This punishment was for your insolence in refusing to yield to me. It is not a transaction. It is a demonstration."

He knelt, bringing his face level with hers. His eyes were dark, bottomless pits that reflected nothing back at her. "I have a place called the Xuantian Realm. You will enter it, Shen Mengyue. You will become my female slave, as Lin Qiaoxin and Li Que have. This is not a choice I am offering you. This is a destination."

Shen Mengyue's breath caught in her throat. The Xuantian Realm—she had heard Lin Qiaoxin speak of it in fragmented whispers during the long nights, a private dimension where Xuanfa kept his slaves, where he trained them and broke them and remade them. It was not death, but it was the end of everything she had been.

"Please," she begged, her voice cracking. "Please, I am the sect leader of Immortal Cloud. My disciples need me. I will give you anything—treasures, techniques, the loyalty of my sect—but do not take my freedom. I beg you, Xuanfa the Celestial Venerable. I beg you."

Xuanfa's face remained stone. "Stubborn," he said, the single word falling like a hammer.

He straightened and gestured to Lin Qiaoxin and Li Que, who had risen to their knees. "Prepare her."

The two women moved without hesitation, their bodies still aching but their wills obedient. Lin Qiaoxin took Shen Mengyue's left arm, and Li Que took her right, pulling her to her knees. Shen Mengyue struggled weakly, but her strength was gone, drained by the week of hanging.

"What are you doing?" she demanded, her voice rising with panic. "What are you going to do?"

Lin Qiaoxin's face was gentle, almost apologetic, as she positioned herself behind Shen Mengyue. "It's easier if you don't fight it, Sect Leader," she said softly. "Master knows what he's doing. The resistance only makes it worse."

From a pouch at her waist, Lin Qiaoxin produced a small jade bottle filled with a murky, amber liquid. The smell hit Shen Mengyue before she saw it—sharp, pungent, unmistakable. Ginger. Freshly ground ginger juice.

"No," Shen Mengyue breathed, her eyes widening. "No, not that. Please, not that."

Li Que grabbed Shen Mengyue's hips and forced her to raise her buttocks, the position so familiar now that even Shen Mengyue's burning anus seemed to anticipate it. Lin Qiaoxin moved behind her, the bottle uncorked.

"You'll feel better if you obey," Li Que said, her voice flat but not unkind. "The master's punishments always have a purpose. Yield, and the pain stops."

Shen Mengyue screamed as Lin Qiaoxin's fingers parted her buttocks, exposing the raw, swollen anus that had been stretched by the hook for a week. The first drops of ginger juice touched her skin, and the burning was immediate, a fire that licked at her tender flesh. She tried to buck away, but Li Que held her firm.

"Spread her," came Xuanfa's voice, cold and commanding.

Lin Qiaoxin and Li Que each took a cheek and pulled, opening Shen Mengyue's anus wide. Xuanfa's fingers reached out, and a stream of ginger juice flowed from the jade bottle directly into Shen Mengyue's intestines. The sensation was beyond anything she had experienced—a liquid fire that filled her from within, coating her insides with a burning that seemed to reach every nerve ending. She screamed, a raw, animal sound that echoed across the square, but there were no disciples left to hear it. Only the three women and the cold, beautiful man who held their fates.

"The pain will subside if you stop resisting," Xuanfa said, recorking the jade bottle. "But resistance brings more. Remember that."

He produced two planks from his storage ring—the Heavenly Dao planks, carved with ancient runes that seemed to drink the light. He handed one to Lin Qiaoxin and one to Li Que.

"You will spank her," he said. "Each time the plank falls, she will say, 'Thank you, Xuanfa the Celestial Venerable, for spanking me.' If she fails to speak, you will give her another dose of ginger."

Lin Qiaoxin's eyes lit up, the playful spark that had survived her own torment returning. "With pleasure, Master." She took her position to Shen Mengyue's left, hefting the plank.

Li Que moved to the right, her face expressionless. She had been where Shen Mengyue was now, had felt the sting of the plank and the burn of the ginger. It was not cruelty that drove her, but efficiency. The faster Shen Mengyue broke, the faster the punishment ended.

The first blow fell from Lin Qiaoxin, the plank connecting with Shen Mengyue's right buttock with a crack that echoed through the square. The flesh, already tender and bruised from the week of hanging, bloomed with a fresh burst of red. Shen Mengyue's body convulsed, a scream tearing from her throat.

"Thank... thank you, Xuanfa the Celestial Venerable, for spanking me," she gasped, the words bitter on her tongue.

The second blow came from Li Que, landing on the left cheek with equal force. Shen Mengyue's hands clawed at the stone, her nails scraping against the ancient surface.

"Thank you, Xuanfa the Celestial Venerable, for spanking me," she repeated, her voice cracking.

And so it continued. The two women alternated, each strike landing with precision and force, their movements synchronized. Shen Mengyue's buttocks, once smooth and pale, became a canvas of red and purple, the skin breaking in places, thin lines of blood trickling down her thighs. The ginger juice in her intestines churned, the burning intensifying with each spasm.

By the twentieth strike, Shen Mengyue's voice was hoarse, her words slurred but still audible. By the fortieth, she was crying openly, tears and snot mixing with the sweat on her face. Her body was a single, solid ache, the pain radiating from her anus and her buttocks and her gut, converging into a white-hot center of agony.

At the fiftieth strike, she faltered. The blow from Lin Qiaoxin landed, the pain so immense that her mind went blank, and she could not form the words. The silence stretched for a breath, and then Xuanfa was there, the jade bottle in his hand.

"Again," he said.

Lin Qiaoxin parted Shen Mengyue's anus, now caked with blood and lymph from the hook wound, and poured another stream of ginger juice into her. The fresh liquid mixed with the lingering burn, and Shen Mengyue's scream was a high, keening wail that seemed to split the sky itself.

"Perhaps you will remember now," Xuanfa said, stepping back. "Continue."

The sixtieth strike came, and Shen Mengyue forced the words through the fire in her gut and the inferno in her flesh. "Thank... thank you... Xuanfa the Celestial Venerable... for spanking me..."

She could not feel the individual blows anymore. The planks rose and fell, rose and fell, a rhythm that had no beginning and no end. Her mind retreated into a small, dark corner of herself, watching from a distance as her body was broken and remade.

At the hundredth strike, her resistance broke. Not her will to speak—that had been shattered by the ginger—but her will to resist. The thing that had made Shen Mengyue the sect leader of Immortal Cloud, the proud cultivator in the Divine Transformation stage, the woman who had commanded armies of disciples and faced down ancient beasts, finally crumbled.

"Please," she begged, her voice a whisper. "Please, Xuanfa... I will do it. I will become your slave. Just... no more. No more ginger. No more plank. Please... protect my sect... my disciples... don't harm them..."

Xuanfa raised his hand, and the planks stopped. The silence was sudden, almost shocking, broken only by Shen Mengyue's ragged breathing.

"You will become my female slave willingly?" he asked, his voice cold but not unkind.

"Yes," Shen Mengyue whispered, her forehead pressed to the stone. "Yes. I will be your slave. I will obey. I will yield. Just... let it stop."

Xuanfa nodded once. "Then it is done."

He raised his hand, and a ripple of power passed through the air. Shen Mengyue felt a pulling sensation, a dislocation that seemed to separate her soul from her body. The world dissolved, the gray sky of Wuling City replaced by a vast, empty landscape of rolling hills and cloud-studded sky. The Xuantian Realm.

She was standing now, though she did not remember standing up. Lin Qiaoxin and Li Que were beside her, their naked bodies marked with the same bruises and burns as her own, but their faces peaceful. Around Shen Mengyue's neck, a collar materialized—blac

A hundred years had passed in the Xuantian Realm, and the cultivation world had long since submitted to a single, absolute authority. Deep within the forbidden grounds of the Celestial Venerable's palace, a massive training hall had been constructed—its walls lined with formations that suppressed spiritual power and amplified sensation. The air was thick with the scent of herbs and the lingering echoes of muffled sobs.

In the center of that hall, thirty-six figures knelt in perfect alignment. Their bodies were bared completely, their fair skin gleaming under the soft luminescent light of the formation arrays above. Each of them had their upper body pressed flat against the cold jade floor, their arms stretched forward, their faces hidden in submission. Their buttocks—full, round, and unblemished—were raised high into the air, forming two perfect rows of pale moons that trembled with anticipation and dread.

These were not ordinary women. They were sect leaders who commanded thousands of disciples. They were elders who had cultivated for centuries, their names whispered with reverence across the nine provinces. They were prodigies of noble bloodlines, daughters of ancient houses whose very frowns could shake the political landscape. All of them had once stood proud, their heads held high, their robes flowing with the dignity of their stations.

Now, they knelt naked, their fat buttocks presented like offerings to the one who had broken them.

Behind this row of trembling flesh stood three figures who moved among them with practiced ease. Unlike the newcomers, these three showed no hesitation, no shame. Their bodies were equally bare, their skin carrying a faint sheen of sweat, but their movements were fluid and purposeful. They were the instructors now—the ones who had been broken long ago and had risen from that breaking to serve.

Xin奴 Lin Qiaoxin walked along the left row, her youthful frame still carrying the lithe energy of her early days, though now tempered by a serene calmness that came from absolute surrender. Her low twin-tails had grown longer over the century, the black silk cascading past her shoulders, framing a face that had matured from playful girl into a woman of refined beauty. Her body was slender but well-toned, the muscles of her thighs and core clearly defined from years of maintaining punishing positions. Her breasts were perky and firm, swaying with each graceful step, and her skin—once unmarked—now bore a faint, permanent flush on her buttocks, a pale lavender hue that spoke of countless punishments endured.

She stopped beside a trembling sect leader from the Northern Wastes, a woman in her mid-thirties who had once ruled a domain of ice and snow. Lin Qiaoxin's hand reached out and patted the raised buttock, feeling the tension in the muscle. "Relax," she said, her voice carrying the playful lilt it had always possessed, though now underlaid with an authority born of seniority. "If you're this tense when the planks fall, you'll clench and break the rhythm. Then Master will have to start over from the beginning. Trust me, you don't want that."

Behind her, Yue奴 Shen Mengyue moved along the right row. The former leader of the Immortal Cloud Sect had transformed over the century into something ethereal and haunting. Her waist-length black hair still flowed like a waterfall of ink, but now it was tied loosely at the nape of her neck, allowing it to brush against the small of her back. Her features had retained their dual nature—the ethereal purity of a celestial maiden and the seductive charm of a temptress—but now there was a depth to her eyes that spoke of profound understanding. Her body was a masterpiece of mature femininity: full breasts that hung with a soft heaviness, a narrow waist that flared into generous hips, and a rounded backside that was perhaps the most perfectly shaped among all the female slaves. That backside was currently a deep shade of purple-red, the skin crisscrossed with the faintest traces of old welts that had healed but never fully faded.

"Raise higher," Shen Mengyue instructed a young rogue cultivator who had thought her genius would protect her. Her voice was cool and gentle, the same tone she had once used to guide her disciples. "Your hips need to be at a ninety-degree angle. If you drop even slightly, the planks will catch you wrong and the pain will be sharper. Do you understand?"

The rogue cultivator whimpered but adjusted her position, her tears dripping onto the jade floor.

At the far end of the hall, Que奴 Li Que stood with her arms crossed, her red hair—still tied in its characteristic high ponytail—swaying as she surveyed the newcomers with a critical eye. Her athletic body had only grown more impressive over the years, the muscles of her shoulders, back, and thighs rippling with controlled power. Her skin had a healthy bronze tone, and her face carried the proud bearing of a warrior who had learned to channel that pride into devotion. Her buttocks were the most muscular of the three, round and firm, and like the others, they bore the unmistakable purple-red discoloration of a body that had been disciplined countless times.

"Your formation master is sagging," Li Que said bluntly, kicking gently at the ankle of a woman who had once been a master of arrays. "You designed defenses that could hold off armies, but you can't hold your own ass up for a simple punishment? Pathetic. Fix it."

The woman scrambled to adjust, her cheeks burning with humiliation.

Between the three of them, they moved through the rows, correcting postures, offering encouragement mixed with mocking, ensuring that every one of the thirty-six raised buttocks was presented at the perfect angle. These were the newest additions to Xuanfa's collection—female cultivators captured over the past hundred years from every corner of the cultivation world. They had been hunted, defeated, stripped, and then subjected to the Heavenly Dao planks until their pride shattered and their screams turned into pleas for mercy. Once they agreed to become slaves, they were brought here to learn their new place.

And as they knelt there, their fat buttocks raised high, the three senior slaves could see the fresh welts and bruises that decorated their skin—reminders of the punishments that had broken them. Soon, those welts would be joined by many more.

Suddenly, the temperature in the hall dropped. The ambient spiritual energy stilled, and a presence descended upon the training ground like a weight pressing against everyone's soul. The thirty-six newcomers shuddered involuntarily, their bodies trembling with fear.

Lin Qiaoxin, Shen Mengyue, and Li Que reacted instantly.

Without a word, without hesitation, they dropped to their knees in perfect synchronization. Their heads bowed until their foreheads touched the cool jade. Their hands pressed flat against the floor. And then, with the fluid grace of a movement they had performed thousands of times, they arched their backs and lifted their hips high into the air.

Their purple-red buttocks rose, presented fully and vulnerably, the muscles deliberately relaxed to invite whatever was to come.

Xuanfa stood at the entrance of the training hall. He wore the same black training clothes as always, his cold and handsome features revealing nothing. His eyes swept across the scene—the row of trembling new slaves, the three raised buttocks of his most faithful possessions.

He walked forward slowly, his footsteps echoing in the silence.

"Master," the three said in unison, their voices clear and obedient. "We were instructing the new sisters. Is Master here to watch Xin奴/Que奴/Yue奴's punishment? Rest assured, we will endure to the end and not spoil Master's mood."

Xuanfa stopped before them, his gaze passing over each of their raised forms. He took in the discoloration of their skin, the way their muscles quivered slightly from the effort of maintaining the position, the subtle sheen of moisture at their entrances—signs that they had already prepared themselves, knowing he would come.

"You have trained them well," he said, his voice flat, without emotion. "But your own cultivation has grown. It is time for your daily discipline."

"Yes, Master," they replied simultaneously.

Without needing further instruction, each of them reached behind with one hand. Their fingers found their own anuses, and with practiced ease, they spread themselves open. The muscles yielded willingly, showing the pink inner flesh that had been prepared in advance.

Then, out of thin air, three syringes materialized. They were filled with a viscous, amber liquid—concentrated ginger juice, aged for a decade to maximize its burning potency. The syringes floated through the air, guided by Xuanfa's will, and positioned themselves behind each woman.

They inserted without resistance. The plungers pressed down, and the ginger juice flooded into their bowels.

Lin Qiaoxin gasped sharply, her knuckles whitening as she gripped the floor. The burning sensation was immediate and intense, spreading through her insides like liquid fire. But she had endured this countless times. She breathed through it, forcing her muscles to remain loose, to accept the burning invasion.

Shen Mengyue let out a soft moan, her eyes closing as the familiar heat bloomed inside her. It was a sensation she had learned to associate with her Master's presence, with the structure and purpose of her existence. The pain was excruciating, but it was her pain, given by her Master, and that made it something to be treasured.

Li Que gritted her teeth, a low growl escaping her throat. The ginger juice burned fiercer than most, and she could feel it pressing against the walls of her intestines, demanding release. But she was a warrior. She had conquered realms and broken enemies. She could conquer her own body's desperate urgings.

The syringes withdrew, dissolving into nothing.

"The standard has increased," Xuanfa said, his voice carrying no hint of sympathy. "Three hundred strikes. Maintain control. If any of you lose the ginger juice before the punishment is complete, the count will reset, and you will receive an additional hundred strikes."

"Yes, Master," they said, their voices steady despite the fire burning in their bowels.

Six Heavenly Dao planks materialized in the air above them. They were long and flat, made of a material that seemed to exist between the physical and spiritual realms, their surfaces inscribed with ancient characters that glowed with faint golden light. These were not ordinary instruments of punishment—they were extensions of the Heavenly Dao itself, carrying the weight of cosmic justice.

The planks positioned themselves—three on each side of each woman's raised buttocks.

Then they struck.

The impact was thunderous.

Lin Qiaoxin's entire body jolted as the planks slammed into her from both sides, catching her fat buttocks in a synchronized pincer that sent shockwaves through her entire being. The sound was a wet, heavy crack that echoed through the hall, and her buttocks bounced violently from the force, the skin immediately blooming into a deeper shade of red. She let out a scream—a sound that was equal parts agony and ecstasy—her fingers clawing at the jade floor as the ginger juice burned hotter inside her.

Before she could recover, the planks struck again. And again.

Three hundred strikes meant the planks struck in rapid succession, each impact landing with perfect precision on the already abused flesh. Lin Qiaoxin's buttocks jiggled and danced, the fat rippling under the relentless assault. The skin turned from red to crimson, from crimson to purple, the welts forming in neat, parallel lines that covered every inch of her presented flesh. Each strike sent bolts of pain shooting through her nerves, while simultaneously the ginger juice roared in her intestines, demanding release, tempting her to clench and lose control.

But she held. She forced her body

The spiritual mountain peak rose from the misty clouds of the Xuantian Realm, its summit piercing through the veils of heaven. The newly constructed sect sprawled across the verdant slopes, its buildings gleaming with fresh formation arrays that Lin Qiaoxin had personally laid down. The main hall stood at the highest point, its black stone pillars carved with phoenixes in flight, their eyes inlaid with crimson spirit stones that glowed like embers in the twilight.

Xuanfa stood at the entrance of the sect hall, his black training clothes unmarked by dust or sweat. His cold eyes surveyed the gathered disciples below, hundreds of naked female cultivators kneeling in neat rows on the white jade square. The setting sun cast long shadows across their bare bodies, and a few of the newer disciples trembled, their hands clasped behind their backs as they had been taught.

Beside Xuanfa, three dog leashes of braided spirit silk hung from his left hand. At the ends of these leashes knelt Lin Qiaoxin, Li Que, and Shen Mengyue. The three female slaves knelt in the posture of supplicants, their thighs pressed together, their hands flat on the ground before them, their backs straight. Slave collars of black iron encircled their necks, each inscribed with suppression runes that gleamed with faint purple light. They were completely naked, as they always were now, their bodies on full display for all to see.

The disciples below dared not lift their eyes too high, but they stole glances at the three elders who taught them daily. Lin Qiaoxin's youthful figure, her small breasts and slim waist, the way her low twin-tails fell forward as she knelt. Li Que's athletic build, the defined muscles of her shoulders and back, her red high ponytail cascading down her spine. Shen Mengyue's mature curves, her waist-length black hair spilling over her shoulders, the ethereal beauty that still made even the female disciples catch their breath.

But what drew the most attention were their buttocks. Each of the three female slaves had buttocks that were raised and swollen, a deep purple-red that spoke of countless punishments endured. The skin was smooth but discolored, the flesh firm yet marked with the unmistakable pattern of repeated spanking. They were the badges of their status, the proof that they belonged to Xuanfa and served him well.

To the right of the three kneeling slaves, another figure knelt. She was not yet naked, but she had been stripped of her outer robes, leaving her in a thin inner garment of white silk. Murong Ying, sect leader of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, knelt with her head held high, her eyes blazing with defiance. She was a woman of proud bearing, her face angular and beautiful, her body tall and well-proportioned even through the thin silk. Her cultivation was at the middle stage of Divine Transformation, and she had come to the Chastising Phoenix Sect to demand answers, to challenge the man who had humiliated the cultivation world.

She had not expected to be caught so easily. Xuanfa had simply extended his hand, and a giant palm of spiritual energy had appeared, grabbing her from the air and bringing her to her knees before him. Now she knelt among his female slaves, her pride the only thing she had left.

"Today," Xuanfa's voice cut through the silence, cold and clear as a bell, "we gather to witness the rewards of merit."

The disciples below shifted, curiosity and fear mingling in their expressions.

"Lin Qiaoxin has taught formation techniques to thirty-seven disciples who have now reached the third rank of formation mastery. Her teaching has brought glory to the sect." Xuanfa's eyes moved to the kneeling Lin Qiaoxin, who lifted her head, a grin spreading across her face despite her position.

"Shen Mengyue has managed the sect's internal affairs for three months without a single discrepancy. Supplies, discipline, records—all have been maintained flawlessly." Shen Mengyue bowed her head lower, her black hair falling forward to hide her blush.

"Li Que has defeated a female cultivator who came to provoke the sect." Xuanfa paused, his gaze cold. "She did not kill the intruder, but captured her alive." He gestured to Murong Ying. "This is that intruder. Murong Ying of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect, who thought she could come here and challenge my authority."

Murong Ying's jaw tightened. "You are a stain on the cultivation world," she spat. "You humiliate female cultivators, treat them like animals, and call it a sect. I came to—"

A flicker of Xuanfa's finger, and Murong Ying's voice was cut off as her inner garment shredded into ribbons, falling away to reveal her naked body beneath. She gasped, her hands flying to cover herself, but Xuanfa's energy forced her hands to her sides.

"You are in no position to speak," Xuanfa said calmly. "You have been captured, stripped, and knelt before me. Your pride is a luxury you can no longer afford."

The disciples below watched, their eyes wide. Some looked away, unable to bear the sight of a proud sect leader brought so low. Others watched with morbid fascination, seeing themselves in Murong Ying's humiliation.

"The reward for merit," Xuanfa continued, "is a public spanking. The three female slave elders shall receive their punishment here, before the sect, so that all may witness the honor of serving well and being disciplined by the master."

Lin Qiaoxin's grin widened. She shifted her knees apart, then bent forward, lowering her upper body until her chest touched the ground, her buttocks rising into the air. The movement was fluid, practiced, almost eager.

Li Que followed a moment later, her movements stiff but precise. She too lowered herself, her athletic buttocks rising high, the purple-red skin stretching taut.

Shen Mengyue was last, her movements graceful even in submission. She bent forward, her long hair pooling on the ground beside her face, her mature curves forming a perfect arch.

Xuanfa turned to Murong Ying. "You will also be spanked, as punishment for your intrusion. And when it is done, you will be hung at the mountain gate as an example."

Murong Ying's eyes blazed. "I will not submit to—"

Xuanfa flicked his finger again, and Murong Ying's body was forced forward, her hands and knees hitting the ground. Her buttocks rose, round and pale, untouched by any punishment. The contrast between her unmarked skin and the three raised, discolored buttocks beside her was stark.

"Submit or not," Xuanfa said, "the punishment will proceed."

He raised his hand, and above the four raised buttocks, planks of Heavenly Dao materialized. They were rectangular slabs of what looked like jade, but they hummed with the authority of heaven itself. Each plank was etched with the characters for "punishment" and "rectification," and they glowed with a soft golden light.

The first plank descended.

It struck Lin Qiaoxin's buttocks with a sound like a thunderclap. The flesh of her left cheek compressed, then rebounded, and a bright red mark appeared on the purple-red canvas of her skin. Lin Qiaoxin let out a sharp cry, but it was not entirely a cry of pain—there was something else in it, something that might have been pleasure.

"Wooow~" she called out, her voice carrying across the square. "That's a good one, Master! The Heavenly Dao plank always gives the best spankings! It's like it knows exactly where to hit!"

The disciples below stirred, some exchanging looks of disbelief. The elder who taught them formations, who was always patient and encouraging, was joking while being spanked.

The second plank fell on Li Que's right cheek. The impact was heavier, and Li Que grunted, her body rocking forward. But she held her position, her hands planted firmly on the ground.

"Is that all?" she growled, her voice strained but defiant. "I've taken worse from training accidents."

Xuanfa's lip twitched—the barest hint of amusement. "We shall see."

The third plank struck Shen Mengyue's buttocks, landing squarely on the center of her left cheek. She cried out, a high, musical sound that was swallowed by the next impact. Tears formed in her eyes, but she did not move, did not try to dodge.

Then the fourth plank descended on Murong Ying.

The sound was different—sharper, higher. Her untouched flesh was not accustomed to punishment, and the Heavenly Dao plank was designed to inflict maximum pain. Murong Ying screamed, a raw, ragged sound torn from her throat. Her hands flew back to protect herself, but Xuanfa's energy pinned them in place.

"First punishment," Xuanfa said, his voice flat. "You will learn to accept correction."

The planks rose again, and the rhythm began. Each plank struck in sequence, first Lin Qiaoxin, then Li Que, then Shen Mengyue, then Murong Ying. The sounds echoed across the mountain peak, a percussion of punishment that the disciples would remember for the rest of their lives.

Lin Qiaoxin's buttocks, already purple-red, began to darken to a deeper shade. The skin shone with the impact, and she gasped and groaned between her jokes.

"Ooh, that one really got me! I think I felt it in my teeth!" She twisted slightly, adjusting her position. "But you know, Master, the left cheek was feeling a bit neglected. Could you maybe—ah! Yes, just like that!"

The disciples stared, their mouths hanging open. Lin Qiaoxin was not just enduring the punishment—she was directing it.

Li Que took her punishment in near silence. Only grunts and sharp exhalations escaped her lips. Her red hair had come loose from its ponytail, and it hung around her face like a curtain. But her body remained still, her buttocks rising higher with each impact as if she were pushing into the pain.

"Disciples," she said between strikes, her voice rough but carrying, "note how the Heavenly Dao plank strikes at an angle. It maximizes surface area impact. In combat, you would not want to be hit at such an angle."

The disciples blinked. Their combat elder was giving them a lecture while being spanked.

Shen Mengyue wept openly. Tears streamed down her beautiful face, and her nose was running, but she did not wipe it. Her hands remained planted on the ground, her buttocks raised high. Each strike made her sob, but she endured.

"Disciples," she managed between cries, her voice broken but sincere, "cultivate hard... so you too can... ah!... can experience this honor..."

The disciples below felt a mixture of emotions. Horror at the violence, confusion at the elders' behavior, and something else—a strange, uncomfortable stirring. These were their teachers, their leaders, the women they looked up to. And they were being spanked like children, crying and screaming, yet calling it an honor.

Murong Ying, by contrast, had descended from defiance to raw pain. After the first dozen strikes, her buttocks had turned bright red, then dark red, then purple. The skin was hot to the touch, and every new impact sent waves of agony through her body.

"You... monster!" she screamed between strikes. "I will... I will kill you!"

Another strike, and she sobbed.

"I will... I will..."

Another strike.

"I... please..."

Another strike.

"Please stop!"

The disciples heard the plea, and a hush fell over the square. The proud sect leader was begging.

Li Que turned her head, looking at Murong Ying with something like contempt. "Your buttocks are no match for the planks," she said, her voice flat. "You should learn to endure."

Murong Ying's response was lost in another scream.

The spanking continued for what felt like an eternity. The planks rose and fell with mechanical precision, each strike landing with full force. The disciples counted seventy-two strikes per person before Xuanfa raised his hand, and the planks vanished.

Lin Qiaoxin's buttocks were now a deep, mottled purple, almost black in places. She let out a long, satisfied sigh, then pushed herself up to her knees, then to her feet. She turned and bowed to Xuanfa, her grin still in place.

"Thank you, Master, for the wonderful re
