Heaven is vast.
Despite its name, it is actually a temple that controls an entire massive spiritual mountain.
The location of the Hall of He Boqi and the Hall of Thirty Years Old is halfway up the mountain.
This is related to strength; the stronger the person, the closer their palace is to the mountain peak.
The main hall atop the mountain is where the Heavenly Lord of the Heavenly Realm resides and cultivates.
There are only two ways to reach the main hall at the summit.
First, upon receiving a summons from the hall master, one may proceed to the main hall to receive orders.
Second, the challenge.
If you have the ability to kill the Heavenly Lord, then you will be the next Heavenly Lord.
But the challenge isn't about charging straight in; it's about overcoming obstacles along the way.
For example, if she wanted to challenge He Aohao at the age of thirty, she would need to fight her way up from the middle of the mountain.
If one doesn't even have the strength to reach the summit, then naturally there's no chance to challenge the Heavenly Lord.
The biggest difference between Fantang Temple and other temples on the mountain is that every temple on the mountain peak is designed like a covered bridge.
Looking up from the foot of the mountain, a straight road leads directly to the summit, but the palaces are built in the middle of the road.
This construction method is very similar to the beacon towers on a pass; to reach the summit, one has to push forward one palace after another.
After each major hall is conquered, the array on the main road will automatically activate, leading directly to the next hall.
There are a total of 1087 palaces along the way.
Including the main hall at the summit, there are a total of one hundred and eight.
From a distance, the 108 palaces look like a giant dragon coiled up, with the main palace on the mountaintop as the head and the 30-year-old palaces as the tail.
After bidding farewell to Ye Boqi, Si Shi, his face filled with excitement, quickly stepped out, holding his two swords.
But the moment Si Shi stepped out of the Palace of Adhering to the Virtues of Women, the excitement on her face vanished abruptly.
Along with it, the humility and cowardice that had been with him vanished. After glancing back at the palace, a chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.
After waving away the two swords given to him by Yi Boqi, Si Shi's aura vanished, and he reverted to his humble and timid demeanor as he headed towards the mountain peak.
He was Wuhu's junior, but he was also responsible for cleaning the main hall on the mountaintop.
Cleaning the hall for Hall Master He Aohao was one of the reasons why Wuhu tried to win him over.
Regardless of the purpose, being able to establish a relationship with the Lord of Heaven will surely allow one to obtain information that one has not yet discovered.
Unfortunately, before he could get in touch with He Aohao through Si Shi, he was smashed in the head by a punch from Xiao Boqi.
They departed for Wuhu.
No one paid much attention to a nobody like Si Shi, and the path he used was a small path specifically set up for menial workers.
At the summit of the Heavenly Palace, a vast palace was built, which was the residence and cultivation place of the Heavenly Palace Master.
The misty spiritual energy and complex formations make the defenses of this mountaintop palace extremely strong, and very few people are able to enter it.
Upon reaching the summit, Si Shi headed straight for the main hall, where the intricate arrays automatically activated as he moved.
After a huge palace door was opened, a powerful figure exuding the aura of the Life Wheel Realm sat cross-legged at the head of the hall.
He was pale-faced and beardless, dressed in black, and his eyes, when opened, revealed a faint, sharp aura that flashed and disappeared in the void.
It was He Aohao, who had been firmly seated in the position of Heaven's Lord for over twenty years.
He Aohao's reputation in the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect is extremely high, and countless geniuses have died at his hands over the years.
His cultivation at the third level of the Destiny Wheel allowed him to remain firmly seated atop the mountain for twenty-four years without collapsing.
Some have even privately commented that He Aohao is very likely to become the next person to firmly hold the position of Heavenly Lord for fifty years, thus becoming a powerful elder of the Dao Sect.
This person is of the highest caliber in terms of cultivation, talent, and intellect.
Despite facing the formidable He Aohao, Si Shi showed no sign of fear or apprehension whatsoever.
When He Aohao, who was sitting cross-legged at the head of the table cultivating, saw Si Shi, he immediately stood up and bowed.
"Your subordinate greets Lord Hidden Guard."
Within the Hidden Dragon Guard of the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty, there are a total of twelve powerful figures.
Six hidden guards and six dragon guards.
The Hidden Guards are responsible for intelligence gathering and assassinations, while the Dragon Guards are synonymous with force; their authority lies in forceful suppression and direct attacks.
Si Shi was one of the six hidden guards within the Hidden Dragon Guard.
All the spies who infiltrated the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect were arranged by him, and He Aohao was his most successful creation, the result of decades of planning.
Becoming the master of the Heavenly Palace grants the ability to investigate the backgrounds of those who join the Heavenly Palace, which helps them analyze the attitudes of other forces towards the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect.
Furthermore, these people can be used to spread false information to those forces, thereby damaging the relationship between the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect and these other sects.
They would also make advance arrangements, framing some people as spies of other forces, thereby misleading the Nine Heavens Mystic Dao Sect.
With He Aohao around, these things are not difficult to do at all.
More importantly, according to the rules of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect, He Aohao was qualified to participate in the high-level meetings of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect.
With such a status, one has the inherent advantage to secretly investigate the secrets of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect.
He Aohao has been in the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect for thirty years and has been the Heavenly Lord of the Heavenly Realm for twenty-four years. He has already transmitted a large amount of confidential information to the Yunqin Heavenly Dynasty.
"Get up."
Si Shi waved slightly to He Aohao and then sat down on a chair to the side.
"Lord Hidden Guard, has something changed?"
Si Shi nodded slightly to He Aohao, who was standing to the side.
“In recent years, we have devoted most of our efforts to investigating Zhang Kaifeng, but we have never been able to get close to him. There is not a single person in the Law Enforcement Hall who can be bribed.”
"But she suddenly announced that she was joining Fantiantang. I thought she had discovered something, but now it seems that her purpose in doing so was all about that person named Xiaoboqi."
At this point, Si Shi turned to look at He Aohao.
"It is now confirmed that Na Boqi is the one who killed Princess Yun and the Fourth Prince. You must go immediately to prepare to send the news back to the Imperial Court."
He Aohao nodded upon hearing this.
"Lord Hidden Guard, just who is this Fei Boqi?"
Si Shi pondered for a moment upon hearing this.
"It is still unknown, but it is certain that he has been to the Eastern Divine Land. According to my guess, he is very likely from a reclusive family. We need to find out where he comes from."
After speaking, Si Shi got up from his chair.
"Make arrangements so that Ye Boqi can use his family's martial arts. This way, we can deduce his origins from his actions."
"In addition, we must speed up the collection of the sect's protective formation. The Heavenly Emperor has been planning for so long, we must clear away all obstacles when the Heavenly Dynasty's army comes."
As soon as Si Shi finished speaking, He Aohao quickly bowed and replied.
"Rest assured, sir, I know what to do."
After nodding slightly to He Aohao, Si Shi slowly walked out of the main hall.
The moment he stepped out of the main hall, the insignificance of a nobody returned to him.
No one who saw him would ever associate him with the Hidden Guard.
