Western Paradise, Baituo Palace, outside the Heavenly Prison.

After drinking the spiritual tea and chatting, Fang Jian, Lu Ban and Pang Degong came to the outside of the Heavenly Prison for an on-site inspection.

Compared with Lu Ban's simplicity, Pang Degong appears to be very humorous and has the demeanor of a great scholar.

"I have three requirements for the expansion: First, there must be a palace in the front of the Heavenly Prison, and it must be as tall and majestic as possible. Second, the Heavenly Prison must be able to accommodate at least 100,000 people after the expansion. Third, a vast area must be marked out within the Heavenly Prison, and spiritual trees and magical herbs must be planted on this vast area." Fang Jian said to Lu Ban and Pang Degong.

Lu Ban wrote down all three of Fang Jian's requests, then asked, "Master Hongqing, I understand the first two points, but this last one... Does Xitianfu still need to plant spiritual trees and immortal herbs?"

Pang Degong said from the side: "Perhaps Master Hongqing is afraid that those imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison will be bored."

Fang Jian laughed heartily and said, "Master Pang is right. I can't keep them locked up in this prison for nothing. I have to find something for them to do."

Pang Degong said: "I heard that in Xiniu Hezhou, many monks, monsters and even Buddhist disciples do not have their own caves. Because Xiniu Hezhou is relatively poor, the caves and blessed places are all occupied by those powerful people."

Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, that's indeed the case. That's why I want to expand this Xitian Mansion Heavenly Prison. Not only will it provide them with a perfect place to live, but it will also allow them to grow spiritual trees and herbs, cultivate their sentiments, and let them feel the compassion and warmth of my Xitian Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Pang Degong was filled with awe and said, "Master Hongqing has a kind heart. I'm sure the cultivators of Xiniu Hezhou will be grateful to him."

"I dare not have such extravagant hopes. I just want to provide the cultivators of Xiniu Hezhou with a place where they can shelter from the wind and rain, exchange Taoism, and cultivate their sentiments." Fang Jian said slowly.

Hearing Fang Jian and Pang Degong speak so nobly of a prison, Lu Ban couldn't help but ask, "From what you two are saying, the best way out for cultivators in Xiniu Hezhou is to go to jail?"

"Hey!" Fang Jian clapped his hands and said, "Master Lu's words are very insightful. I like them very much."

"That makes sense, that makes sense." Pang Degong nodded seriously.

Then the three of them circled the Heavenly Prison again, and when they returned to Hongde Hall, Lu Ban had already drawn up the blueprints for the entire expansion.

"So fast?" When Fang Jian took the drawing handed over by Lu Ban, he looked at the extremely complicated drawing with a look of astonishment.

Then he gave Lu Ban a thumbs up and said, "As expected of Master Lu Ban! His reputation is well-deserved." After that, Fang Jian handed the blueprint back to Lu Ban and said, "Just build it according to the blueprint."

But Lu Ban was even more surprised. He looked at Fang Jian in astonishment and said, "Master Hongqing, you finished reading the drawings so quickly?" He clearly saw that Fang Jian only glanced at them.

He is indeed the True Man Hongqing. No wonder he is appreciated by the Great Heavenly Venerable. He can understand his own drawings after just one glance. He is simply a genius among geniuses!

But soon he heard Fang Jian say, "I don't understand, but I believe in your ability, Master Lu Ban."

"..." Lu Ban looked dazed.

After Lu Ban reacted, he and Pang Degong went aside to discuss the blueprints and how to set up the blocking formation.

Fang Jian smiled slightly, sat down and said, "Serve tea to the two masters from Tiangong Academy."

...

Kongming returned to Bukong Temple and reported his findings to Sang Mojie. Sang Mojie immediately retorted, "Master Hongqing said he wanted to investigate the crimes of Yehua and the others, but Jiudongzhu and the others have already been beheaded. How can Master Hongqing investigate? In my opinion, Master Hongqing doesn't want to release Yehua and the others just yet, but he can't break the rule established by the Great Celestial Venerable that merit offsets sin. So, he can only use the excuse of 'not fully investigated' to delay."

As Sang Mojie finished speaking, the Golden Eagle Dharma King said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect this person to have already obtained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. Now he is even more difficult to deal with."

The Zen room fell silent for a moment, and then Kong Ming said, "Master Hong Qing wants to erect a 'Proclamation Monument' outside Bai Tuo Heavenly Palace. In the future, the notice regarding Ye Hua and the others will be written on the monument."

Kong Yan, who was standing by, said, "I think we should all go to Baituo Heavenly Palace together and ask for the release of the deceased from Master Hongqing. We can then force him to allow Yehua and the others to use their merits to offset their sins."

"That's not right," said the fourth elder, Kong Xiu. "You all are already familiar with the kind of person that Master Hongqing is. The more we push him, the less likely he is to release us. It might even give someone else an opportunity to attack our Bukong Temple."

"Are we still afraid of him?" Kong Yan said with dissatisfaction: "Don't forget, this is Xiniu Hezhou."

Kong Xiu said, "This is certainly Xiniu Hezhou, the land of our Buddhist sect. But Master Hongqing doesn't represent himself, he represents the Heavenly Court. Unless our Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court go to war, with our strength, we really can't do anything to Master Hongqing."

"Junior Brother Kongxiu is right." Kongming said, "Right now, the Buddhas of Lingshan are pushing Daotian Tower to enter the world. When the time comes, Daotian Tower will deal with Master Hongqing. We just need to sit back and relax on the meditation platform."

Kong Ming's words were unanimously agreed by everyone present. It would be reckless and not worth it to confront Xitian Mansion directly now.

So Kong Xiu said at this time: "Brother Abbot, you should issue a decree, ordering all Buddhist temples and monasteries in Sha Luo Kingdom to strictly restrain the demon cultivators who have been converted to Buddhism. They are not allowed to do anything that harms any living beings, whether they are human or demon.

You must not give Master Hongqing any excuse to attack my Buddhist temples and disciples."
