Heavenly Realms Judgment Hall

The Judgment hall is the building where sinners of both the mortal and immortal realms were trialed. In this palace of righteousness and punishment, there are two absolute beings whose voices can determine the ending of all sinners that entered this building.

Within the hall is the trial room where the sinner is sentenced. In this palace, regardless of one being a mortal or an immortal, as a sinner, they would be trialed by both the people of the underworld and the magistrate chamber.

The interior of the hall is simple. The sinner would stand at the center of the trial room. The whole room is split into half, the black and white side. The black hall is where the people of the Underworld and Purgatory seats. This site is ruled by the G.o.d of Judgement, King Wuan. The white hall on the other hand is where the people of righteousness and magistrate chamber seats. This wide is headed by the G.o.d of Judgement, Lord Ye.

Both sides never got along well. They have different beliefs. The black hall believes in ruthlessness. An eye for an eye. Bad karma must be eliminated regardless of any reason. On the other hand, the white hall believes in mercy, second chances, and stability. It was because of this, that there would always be a conflict during the trial of a sinner.

Today just happened to be one of those days. A mortal stood on the top of the pillar with chains on his hands and feet. He was forced to kneel on the tower by two immortals who served the Judgment Palace.

.....

An immortal who took the role of mediator for both halls stood at the stage beside the pillar in the middle.

The mediator spoke, From the Mortal Realm, Sinner name: Qing Yuan. Sin: Killing a whole clan to avenge his family. Both halls, please represent the black karma scroll and white karma scroll of the sinner.

Both sides had two small thrones where the G.o.d of Punishment and G.o.d of Judgment sat. At the black throne, an extremely beautiful man with a languid yet mischievous smile in a black robe sat. He was wearing a black robe with a snowflake pattern at the edges of his robes. These snowflakes were made of ice spirit elements and revered this G.o.d as their ruler.

This is the G.o.d of Punishment, King Wuan. He is also the strongest immortal after the Immortal Emperor and everyone in the Heavenly Realm both adores and fears him. This is because of his ruthless nature and impartiality. He punishes sinners as long as the black karma scroll exceeds a certain threshold which is deemed the sinner d.a.m.nation.

In contrast to his ruthlessness, his appearance is the top among the immortals. He had the beauty of both the immortal emperor and the immortal empress. His features were exquisite and otherworldly. Whenever his phoenix-shaped eyes narrowed every time he smiled playfully, others would feel something teasing their hearts.

Those cerise lips were thin yet red, whenever he curled them up into a smile it caused a breathtaking scene that was almost stagnant in everyones breathing. His chin was slightly tilted up and his gaze was always indifferent despite his smile. It was as if he was looking down on everything before his eyes.

His long silver hair is proof that he is loved by the ice elements even his eyes had the shade of moonlight. He is the most beautiful prince in the Regal Hei Royal Clan.

With a single wave of his hand, a black scroll appeared before the mediator, this is the scroll that listed Sinner Qing Yuans acc.u.mulated black karma.

King Wuan, Here~ suit yourself.

Meanwhile on the white throne is the G.o.d of Judgment. Unlike King Wuan, this man is a figure of asceticism. His face remained cold and expressionless. He sat on his throne with his back leaning straight and his hands at the sides of the throne. Like an upright leader, his aura is full of righteousness and justice itself.

He is completely opposite of the G.o.d of Punishment. He is wearing a white robe with a black cloud pattern on the edges of his robes. His long black hair was half-clamped with a simple white jade crown. An undaunting gait, eyes that naturally peer downward, and an adequate calm expression. It was as if nothing in this world could move this man.

His features were sharp and his eyes were downcast. If one was started upon by him, the latter would feel the inferiority of being looked down upon. His thin lips were always pursued in a vertical line. Emotionless and stern.

Um.

This is the G.o.d of Judgement, Lord Ye. He silently waves his hand like King Wuan and beside the black scroll before the mediator, another scroll appears. It was the life scroll of Sinner Qing Yuan. The white scroll listed all his good deeds and acc.u.mulated merits.

The mediator said, The Trial of Sinner Qing Yuan begins!

This servant would be reading the white karma scroll first.

Qing Yuan. Courtesy name: Qing Yuwan. Disciple in name of (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect. Age: 150 years old. Dao Companion: Si Heiran.

A commoner accepted by the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect due to his good deed of defending his town from the undead. He had a good talent for cultivation. Born with thunder and water roots.

He is destined to be a good guardian of the mortal realm. Not talented enough to ascend to the upper realm yet acc.u.mulated enough karma from helping small villages from the siege of undead and the inferno creatures.

But unfortunately, while defending the ordinary people from his enemies, his Dao companion was brought back to his own clan and was forced to marry someone he doesnt love. His family was forcing Si Heiran to marry for their Clans benefit. The fiance was the man from the strongest clan, Xie.

The second Prince of the Xie Clan, Xie Fuan fell in love at first sight with Si Heiran. But the latter already have a Dao companion from the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect, Qing Yuan.

The Xie Clan has been considered the strongest clan in the mortal world just because their clan leader is the only Golden Core cultivator and is considered the strongest in the Mortal land. Because of this, the Xie Clan had considered tyranny to rule over the human lands and look down on other sects and clans weaker than they are.

While Sinner Qing Yun is on a mission issued by his sect, the Si Clan takes this as an opportunity to take back Si Heiran and give him up to the Xie Clan for the prosperity of their clan. Who would have thought that To avoid marrying Xie Fuan, Si Heiran took his own life to protect his lover and his sect as well as his dignity? This left Sinner Qing Yuan devastated after learning about the news of his Dao companion.

The black karma scroll contents: After learning that Xie Fuan of Xie Clan causes the death of his Dao Companion, Si Heiran, heart tainted with immense anger and hatred, Qing Yuan left his Sect. He wanted to take his revenge without getting his clan involved.

He became a banished disciple of the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect as he requested. After leaving his clan he acc.u.mulated his training and even started hunting Xie Clans disciples for resources and revenge.

In the process of revenge, he had killed lots of innocent ordinary people and disciples of the Xie Clan. His hatred blinded him and even became a demonic cultivator for more power. His hands and sword were tainted with thick blood both of the innocent and the sinned due to this his acc.u.mulated merits had been used up to counter his bad karma. He died after ma.s.sacring the whole Xie Clan and especially killed Xie Fuan in the most tortured and cruel way.

Result. Killing a whole clan caused Sinner Qing Yuan demerits that reached the threshold to enter purgatory for 3 years. But his acc.u.mulated merit had offset his sins which erased half of his demerits.

Please place your conclusion for this sinners ending. The trial continues.

Neither King Wuan nor Lord Ye had spoken, instead, the two chambers sent out their representatives. From the black hall the two Impermanence: the White Impermanence and Black Impermanence. On the other side, the white chamber was represented by the Minister of Righteousness and the Minister of Justice.

The Black Impermanence spoke, Didnt he reach the threshold of being punished in Purgatory? Just send him there!

Please do think twice, Black Impermanence! The sinner had used up his merits to cancel that threshold and would be imprisoned in the Underworld prison instead until his next reincarnation. He is still a good man from the beginning half of his life. That cannot be denied! said the Minister of Justice.

The White Impermanence spoke, The Underworld Prison doesnt accept souls that kill. Our place is filled with resentment energy after all. The bad would become the worst.

This cannot be the reason for one to ignore someones merits! said the Minister of Righteousness.

The Black Impermanence spoke, There is no way for us to ignore his demerits as well!

The representatives were all debating what to do with the sinners soul. Unknown to them, Qing Yuan silently observed the two beings seated on the white and black throne. They stare at each other coldly as if they hated each other yet they looked at each other almost without blinking their eyes.

Seeing that things arent going well with the trial the mediator had to ask the opinion of those seated at the thrones.

The Mediator asked respectfully, We asked the opinions of the Exalted Beings in the hall! Your Highness, King Wuan and Lord Ye, please judge the sinner!

Suddenly the eyes of everyone in the room wandered to the two Exalted beings mentioned by the Mediator. But the two acted like they didnt care at first as they were busy staring at each other.

The mediator calls, Your highness, King Wuan, and Lord Ye?

The first one to speak was Lord Ye while King Wuan chuckled as he averted his eyes only after Lord Ye moved his eyes.

Cough!

Lord Ye spoke, Sinner Qing Yuan, you have both acc.u.mulated merits and demerits. They canceled each other and your position as the sinned cannot be changed. You have two options.

Enter the purgatory or enter the reincarnation pool without memories of your past life and with the burden of your sins. If you choose the second one, anything from your past must be cut off. Your memories, your oath with your Dao companion and live only life to atone for your sins for a lifetime, said Lord Ye of the white throne.

Hehe~

King Wuan on the black throne chuckles and says, There is also an option of entering Purgatory. You had to suffer a few years of 108 tortures and deaths yet... In that place, you would be able to meet the ones who caused your Dao Companions death. Their sins were much worse than yours so Ive thrown them in early~ but if you can bear the suffering of that place what you have right now can be retained.

Your memories and your connections to your Dao Companion. While at it, you can be reincarnated together with your lover, as he was waiting for you at the Reincarnation Pool to jump in together once again. Ah right~ in Purgatory even if the sinners killed each other or tortured each other I would not care a bit~ you guys cannot come out there unless you completed your sentence anyway~

So little one~ what would your choice be?~ Continue your revenge even in the afterlife and grasp what is important to you or... Live a new life and suffer from the emptiness with less punishment and only live a life of boring atonement? The choice would be yours to decide~~

Sinner Qing Yuan looked at the two Exalted beings seated on the throne. He looked more at King Wuan whose suggestion is better in his ears. Atonement? Why would he need that? Those people deserved to be killed and he accepted the sins left by the blood on his hands. He would never deny what he did for his beloved.

Are those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds really in Purgatory? asked Sinner Qing Yuan.

The Black Impermanence answered, If you are talking about those men who caused the death of your Dao Companion, they had been thrown inside the Purgatory ahead of you. Their trials ended fast as they didnt have any merits as you have.

Please make a choice properly. Purgatory is never an easy place to stay too. Even immortals were terrified of that place. You can still choose to atone instead, said the Minister of Justice.
