# Chapter 1
The morning mist clung to the peaks of the Censure Phoenix Sect as Xuan Fa walked slowly along the stone path that wound through the main courtyard. In his right hand, he held a braided leather leash that split into three strands, each connected to a black slave collar. Behind him, crawling on hands and knees, came Lin Qiaoxin, Li Que, and Shen Mengyue.
Their naked bodies moved with practiced grace, breasts swaying beneath them as they kept perfect pace with their master's leisurely stride. The morning dew glistened on their skin, and their slave collars caught the first rays of sunlight breaking over the eastern mountains.
Other disciples of the sect moved about their duties, all equally bare. Some carried buckets of water, others tended to the gardens, and a few practiced forms in meditation courtyards. None paid more than a passing glance to the three great elders crawling past—this was simply the way of things in the Censure Phoenix Sect.
Xuan Fa's cold eyes swept across his domain before he spoke, his voice flat and without warmth. "You have all broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage."
The three women immediately halted, pressing their foreheads to the cold stone path. Shen Mengyue spoke first, her voice soft and respectful. "It is only because of our master's diligent discipline upon our buttocks and the rich spiritual energy of the Xuantian Realm that we were able to break through to late Nascent Soul in three hundred years."
Lin Qiaoxin added with a hint of her old playfulness, though her voice remained properly deferential, "Every stroke of the spanking board guided us closer to perfection, master. We are eternally grateful."
Li Que, once so proud and arrogant, now spoke with absolute sincerity. "Without master's punishment, we would still be wandering lost in our cultivation. We owe everything to your discipline."
Xuan Fa's lip twitched slightly—the closest thing to approval he ever showed. "Since you have all reached late Nascent Soul, I have a task for the three of you."
He released the leash and walked to a stone bench, seating himself with the fluid grace of a predator at rest. The three women remained prostrate, not daring to rise without permission.
"There are those who have shown disrespect to the Censure Phoenix Sect," Xuan Fa continued. "Bai Zhenshuang, the Sword Princess of the Heavenly Sword Sect, has spoken ill of our methods. Hua Qianyu, the Valley Master of the Hundred Flowers Valley, allowed her disciples to occupy our medicinal gardens. And Su Qianyao, the Saintess of the Demon Sect, dared to use her charm magic on disciples of my sect."
His eyes narrowed slightly. "You three will go to them. Deliver my message. They are to strip themselves naked, crawl to the entrance of the Censure Phoenix Sect, kneel, and present their buttocks for punishment. One hundred strokes of the Heavenly Spanking Board each day for ten years. A minor lesson for their transgressions."
Lin Qiaoxin raised her head slightly, her twin ponytails brushing the ground. "And if they resist, master?"
"If they resist," Xuan Fa said, reaching into his spatial ring and producing three lengths of golden rope that gleamed with trapped light, "then you will defeat them and bind them with the Immortal Binding Locks. Drag them back here, and I will deliver their punishment personally."
The three women crawled forward and each accepted a length of golden rope with both hands, placing it reverently against their foreheads before tucking it away.
"Your commands are our purpose," Shen Mengyue said.
"Your will is our law," Lin Qiaoxin added.
"Your discipline is our honor," Li Que finished.
Xuan Fa studied them for a moment. "Is there something else you wish to ask?"
The three women exchanged glances. It was Lin Qiaoxin who spoke first, her voice carrying that familiar hint of mischief even in her submission. "Master, now that we have all reached late Nascent Soul, we were wondering... if we might humbly request an increase in our daily punishment."
Li Que nodded firmly. "Two hundred strokes of the Heavenly Board no longer carry the same bite."
Shen Mengyue added more softly, "Our cultivation has grown, but so has our need for master's firm hand. If you would allow us to receive four hundred strokes each day..."
Xuan Fa let out a quiet sound that might have been a laugh. "You have come to love the spanking board, haven't you?"
The three women answered as one, their voices carrying no shame. "Yes, master."
"Then complete this task successfully," Xuan Fa said, "and I will grant your request."
"We thank master!" they said in unison, pressing their foreheads to the ground three times in kowtow.
"But first," Xuan Fa said, "you will receive today's punishment."
He raised his hand and made a small gesture. From within the main hall of the sect, three young women emerged. They were perhaps eighteen years of age in appearance, and each bore an eight-out-of-ten resemblance to one of the three kneeling elders. Lin Yuxin, with her twin ponytails and playful eyes that mirrored her mother. Li Yunling, with her high ponytail of fiery red hair and athletic build. Shen Xingmian, with her waist-length black hair and gentle features that echoed Shen Mengyue's beauty.
All three were naked, their necks adorned with the same black slave collars. They walked with the perfect grace of those trained from childhood in absolute submission.
They stopped before Xuan Fa and dropped to their knees in perfect synchronization, pressing their foreheads to the ground. "We greet our master," they said in unison.
Xuan Fa's gaze swept over the three younger women. "Your mothers' buttocks have become itchy for discipline. You will take the Heavenly Spanking Board and deliver two hundred strokes to each of them. After that, you will spread their legs and whip their perineums one hundred times."
"Yes, master," the three young women replied without a hint of hesitation.
Lin Yuxin rose first and walked to a stone rack nearby, retrieving a board of jet-black wood that seemed to drink the light around it. The Heavenly Spanking Board was the highest level of punishment tool, imbued with spiritual energy that could penetrate even the defenses of Nascent Soul cultivators. She carried it with both hands, holding it with the reverence one might show a sacred artifact.
Li Yunling and Shen Xingmian each retrieved their own boards and returned to stand before their mothers.
Lin Qiaoxin was already positioning herself, crawling to a flat stone area and lowering her upper body until her cheek rested against the cool surface. She lifted her hips high, presenting her buttocks in perfect offering. "Ah, Yuxin," she said, her voice carrying a hint of maternal pride, "remember to strike with the grain of the wood. A forty-five degree angle gives the best combination of sting and depth. Your mother has taught you this, hasn't she?"
Lin Yuxin stepped behind her mother, raising the board high. "You have taught me well, mother. I will make sure each stroke honors your training."
"You had better," Lin Qiaoxin said with a playful smirk over her shoulder. "And remember, the sharper the pain, the greater the pleasure that follows. Don't hold back."
The first stroke fell with a crack that echoed across the courtyard.
Beside her, Li Que had assumed her position with military precision, knees spread wide, back arched perfectly, her red hair falling forward to brush the ground. She did not look back at her daughter. "Your stance is too narrow, Yunling. If you want maximum power, you need to plant your feet shoulder-width apart and use your hips. A true warrior puts her whole body into every strike."
Li Yunling adjusted her feet without comment, her face calm and focused. "Like this, mother?"
"Better," Li Que said. "Now split my ass open."
The Heavenly Board came down with savage force, and Li Que's body shuddered, but she made no sound of complaint.
Shen Mengyue had positioned herself with quiet grace, her long black hair pooling around her head like spilled ink. She was the only one who looked back at her daughter, her eyes carrying warmth even in this moment of punishment. "Xingmian, my darling girl. Do not be gentle. Your mother has raised you to be strong, and I would be ashamed if you treated me with weakness."
Shen Xingmian's hands trembled slightly on the board. "Mother, I..."
"It is our purpose," Shen Mengyue said gently. "We are master's property. Our bodies exist for his discipline and his pleasure. To receive punishment is to receive his attention, his care. Do you understand?"
"I understand, mother." Shen Xingmian's voice steadied, and she raised the board high.
"Good girl," Shen Mengyue said, then pressed her forehead to the stone. "Now make your mother proud."
The Heavenly Board descended.
The courtyard filled with the rhythm of wood meeting flesh. Each stroke produced a sharp crack followed by a softer impact sound as the board flattened against rounded buttocks. The three mothers took their punishments in different ways. Lin Qiaoxin let out soft gasps that bordered on moans, her body swaying with each impact. Li Que remained silent and still, taking every stroke like a soldier accepting medals of honor. Shen Mengyue whimpered quietly, her fingers digging into the stone beneath her.
After fifty strokes, their buttocks had turned a uniform pink. After one hundred, they glowed a deep crimson. By the time they reached one hundred and fifty, purple bruises were beginning to form beneath the surface, though the rich spiritual energy of the Xuantian Realm flowing through the courtyard would soon begin its healing work.
"Twenty more, mother," Lin Yuxin said, her voice carrying a hint of strain. Her arms had begun to ache, but she did not slow her rhythm.
"Finish strong," Lin Qiaoxin gasped. "A weak final stroke... dishonors the punishment..."
The last twenty strokes fell with renewed vigor, and when they were finished, all three mothers' buttocks had transformed into deep, swollen masses of purple-black bruising. They lay panting against the stone, but even in their pain, they did not relax their positions.
"Now," Xuan Fa's voice cut through the air, "the perineum whipping."
The three daughters set down their boards and retrieved thin whips of braided black leather. Lin Yuxin approached her mother first, kneeling between Lin Qiaoxin's spread legs. The area between her mother's thighs was exposed, the lips of her vulva visible, the tight ring of her anus just above.
"Guide my hand, mother," Lin Yuxin said quietly.
Lin Qiaoxin reached back without looking, her fingers finding her daughter's wrist. She guided the whip to hover just above her own exposed flesh. "Start from the bottom," she said, her voice husky. "The first stroke should catch the lips of my cunt. Then work your way up to my asshole. Alternate between the two. The pain should be sharp and precise, not broad."
"I understand, mother."
The first stroke of the whip cracked against Lin Qiaoxin's vulva, and she let out a sharp cry that was half-pain, half-pleasure. Her thighs trembled, and a glistening wetness began to form between her legs.
"Yes," she breathed. "Just like that. Again."
Beside her, Li Que was giving her own instructions to Li Yunling. "Do not hesitate," she said coldly. "Hesitation is weakness. The flesh between my legs is no different from any other part of my body. It exists for master's use and for punishment. Strike it with the same conviction you would strike an enemy."
Li Yunling set her jaw and brought the whip down with savage precision. Li Que's body jerked, but she made no sound.
Shen Mengyue had taken a different approach with her daughter. She had turned her head to look Shen Xingmian in the eyes, her expression one of absolute tenderness despite the brutal beating she had just received. "My sweet girl," she said softly, "do you know why we do this?"
"To serve master," Shen Xingmian said.
