Among the three books of the code of law, the heavenly ceremony was the most important. It stipulated the etiquette that the immortal officials needed to abide by. From the grand ceremony to the small daily words and deeds, it involved morality, etiquette, literature, and so on. It was considered relatively complete!
The heavenly rules stated that immortal officials could not trigger the iron law, such as killing living beings without permission, causing trouble, insulting female immortals, and so on. Each of these were unforgivable crimes.
Any immortal official who violated the heavenly laws would be sent to the Heaven Suppression Prison permanently, or even beheaded!
As for the heavenly rules, they stipulated some lesser crimes, such as gathering a crowd to cause trouble, bullying the weak, deceiving the superiors and deceiving the subordinates, and so on. Some of these heavenly rules had heavier punishments, while others had lighter punishments.
As a rare treasure, the Heavenly Court's Codex of Law not only recorded the three books of etiquette, but also had many other wonderful uses.
For example, one could use the Tomes of Arcane to extract the divine soul of an immortal official and conduct a Heaven's Inquiring. They could thoroughly examine the life of an immortal official and determine whether this immortal official had violated the laws of heaven.
However, this method was a little immoral and would reveal the privacy of the immortal official. Therefore, unless it was necessary, it could not be used easily.
Also, if an immortal violated the heavenly rules and needed to be punished, then as long as he used his magic power to activate the heavenly rules, the book of heavenly rules would become a heavenly rod. Using the heavenly rod to cast spells would not only make the immortal feel pain, but also educate his spirit, ensuring that he would be baptized from the inside out, so that he would not dare to commit the same mistake easily.
In addition to these, the Codex had another important function, which was that it could separate countless sub-codes from the main Codex. The Codex in Bai Ze's and Tai Bai's hands were sub-codes from the Codex of Haotian Lord. The sub-codes had most of the functions of the main Codex, except for some functions that needed to be used with caution, such as extracting the soul to ask questions. Only the main Codex could be used.
This way, it would be easier for the Xing Guan of the Heavenly Court to work!
Of course, the Heavenly Court did not have Xing Guan yet, but there would definitely be in the future.
Among the three books of the code of law, the heavenly gifts were relatively complete, but the heavenly rules and regulations were missing many details. The main reason was that the mortal world had not been divided yet, and the human race had not risen yet. Therefore, some heavenly rules and regulations regarding mortals could only be temporarily empty.
However, these heavenly rules and regulations were already in the main code of laws, but they had not been copied into the sub-code of laws for the time being.
Haotian had read all the heavenly rules and regulations and was satisfied with them. These heavenly rules had been optimized by the system. Some of the unreasonable heavenly rules in the Heavenly Court in his previous life had been corrected, such as some of the more severe tortures. For example, in Journey to the West, the Curtain Rollers General had only broken the glass cup, but he was actually beaten 800 times with a stick and demoted to the mortal world. He was also tortured by a flying sword piercing his chest 100 times every seven days. It was simply unreasonable. This kind of strict etiquette had been removed!
The punishment of the celestial heavens was more humane, the heaviest punishment was banishment. Exile was to suppress some dangerous places, it wasn't too harsh.
The rest were basically punishments, demerits, demotions, and so on. Of course, these were the punishments of the heavenly laws. The punishment of the heavenly laws was simple. They could either be executed or imprisoned!
If he could subdue the underworld in the future, he might be punished by the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
There was also the most famous problem of adultery between immortals and mortals in the future.
Haotian would definitely not prohibit the adultery between immortals and mortals. Haotian was not afraid of being rebelled, but immortals also had seven relatives and six desires. Pure abstinence was inhumane.
However, it was certain that there would be restrictions. If any immortal or mortal had an affair, the Heavenly Court would one day be in chaos. The population would increase explosively, the mortal world would be in chaos, and nepotism would be a huge hidden danger. Therefore, some restrictions needed to be added.
For example, after an immortal official fell in love with a mortal, the mortal could not go to heaven, nor could he return to the human world. He could only go to the Earth Immortal Realm. The sons of immortals and mortals could only enter the heavens and become officials after passing the examination.
In short, this part was very complicated and needed Haotian to push it bit by bit.
Fortunately, the human race had yet to rise up, so he still had a lot of time.
After Bai Ze and Tai Bai finished reading all the Heavenly Laws, there was only one word in their hearts-they were convinced!
The two immortals were truly convinced!
This code of law was really too good! They could hardly find any fault with it.
Not only did it take into account many situations that they had not considered, but every rule was also very reasonable.
And this code of law was an eye-opener for the two immortals, they realized for the first time that the so-called rules and etiquette could actually be so standardized.
They had a premonition that if the immortal officials could really abide by every rule of etiquette, then the Heavenly Court would prosper and become the most law-abiding place in the entire Untainted Land. Even the three Daoist sects, which were known as the holy land of Dao rituals, were far inferior to the celestial heavens.
At this moment, the two immortals became excited.
This was especially true for Bai Ze. Before this, although he had submitted to the Heavenly Court, he had always only cared about the demons and wanted to contribute to them.
However, after seeing this code of law, Bai Ze felt for the first time that his situation was a little small! Compared to the Celestial Thearch, his thoughts were so childish that they were laughable.
He suddenly remembered what Haotian had said to him before.
The Wilderness had never belonged to a single race!
Previously, he was not very convinced by this sentence, but now, his faith had been completely shaken!
