Lord of Ten Thousand Punishments

The day Ning Fan was crippled and banished from the capital, it rained across the city. He hung a broken wooden plaque on the lintel of his old house in the urban village and, in a drunken moment, scrawled three characters—Wanfa Sect. That night, ten thousand thunderbolts struck the door, but the plaque remained unmoved. Everyone thought he was finished, unaware that this body, punished by the world, was precisely the key that had been missing for eons. From taking over the Black Tiger Hall, to suppressing a hundred-billion business war with a single peace talisman, to the hidden door at the end of the subway leading to another world, Ning Fan step by step built his shabby corner of the urban village into the foremost sacred ground that both realms had to bow to. When the imperial court decreed a marriage for his disciple, he shattered the edict with a ruler in front of the envoy: 'My disciple will not marry.' They punished him, so he endured all punishments and dispensed all punishments. Punishment was never meant to destroy—it was meant to protect. — Description from novelcodex.org
