445 Trial of the Three Palaces (2)
As he was thinking, time passed quickly.
One of his subordinates walked over and said, “Sage, the ancient ship is about to arrive. Do you think we should park it in the hall or keep it as a backup?”
“Let’s go straight into the hall and settle the matter first.”
The Vajra Saint thought for a moment. “All of you are on the ship. The patrol quests are not over yet.” “Yes.”
The latter went to inform the others, while the huge ancient ship approached an even larger palace. After inspection, it landed inside.
Boom!
The landing of the Sky Surveillance Ship caused quite a commotion. The obvious tremor woke Song Shi up from his meditation. When he saw the gigantic palace, he was still shocked for a moment.
This thing was too big. It could be said to be a fortress in the void, but it was far larger than a fortress. It could accommodate billions of cultivators.
Most importantly, he sensed Spiritual Qi from it. It was very dense and could be said to have surpassed the lower realm.
He sized up the place to his heart’s content. Although he could only see a portion of it, he also discovered many extraordinary buildings. The powerful aura inside allowed him to know the level of this place.
Basically, the people here were all cultivators above the Nascent Soul realm. They were the most common here.
However, in the Boundless Continent, Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation were the top two levels in the entire world.
“I’m just a middle- or maybe even a lower-level existence here.”
As Song Shi sighed, the Demon Binding Rings on his limbs lit up, forming a barrier that isolated him from the outside world. Then, he flew up.
“I’ll bring you to see the Palace Master. If you can pass the inspection, there will naturally be many benefits. If you can’t, you can only pray for yourself.”
The Vajra Saint used his Nomological power to control the Demon Trapping Ring and flew out with Song Shi, approaching a blue hall.
On the way, many gazes looked over. Compared to the Vajra Saint, they were more concerned about Song Shi’s situation.
“Who is this human? Why has he been captured by the Vajra Saint?”
“I’ve never seen him before. Is he a spy from the Demon Race?”
“It’s close to the mark, not far off. Look, it’s being suppressed by the demonic ring.”
Song Shi was displeased. “Damn it, I became like a monkey.”
“My Heaven Patrolling Hall usually captures fellows related to the demons. It’s normal for you to be suspected.”
The Vajra Saint replied calmly and landed in front of the sky-blue hall.
This hall was a thousand feet tall and was engraved with the patterns of an ancient ship. It was the bed that Song Shi had sat on before. On the patterns were the words “Heaven Patrolling Hall”.
There were two guards with powerful auras standing in front of the hall. They were both at the Soul Transformation realm. If such an existence was in the Boundless Continent, he would be a Supremacy with a respected status. However, he was actually guarding the door here.
“Vajra Saint.”
The guard on the left took a step forward and cupped his fists at the Vajra Saint. He glanced at Song Shi and said, “The Hall Master is waiting for you. He wants you to go in directly.”
“Yeah, of course.”
The Vajra Saint brought Song Shi through the door. A spatial fluctuation and special inspection power swept past them. At the same time, there was a faint powerful attack that locked onto them.
His eyes lit up as he arrived at a space filled with white clouds. Above his head was the starry sky, looking exceptionally vast.
At the end of the white clouds, under the starry sky, three seats floated in a triangular shape, like stars shining. In the middle seat sat a man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
His hair was white, and he looked to be in his fifties. There were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his blue robe was exceptionally clean. His body was neither fat nor thin, and he stood tall and straight like a sword, but his aura was restrained and not sharp.
The most peculiar thing was the vicissitudes of life in the corners of his eyes. It was as if he had seen everything in the world, and these traces were refined in the mortal world.
His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. He sat there, and the surrounding starry sky seemed to be centered around him.
“He’s far stronger than the Vajra Saint. He’s a Supreme Saint!”
Song Shi only took a glance and confirmed this person’s strength level.
He sized up the other party, and the latter was also sizing him up. After sensing Song Shi’s physical strength, the hall master’s eyes flickered.
“Palace Master, the person is here.”
The Vajra Saint said politely. The other party was his superior.
“The situation is basically as you said. I didn’t see any problems. Wait for the masters of the Heaven Observation and Heaven Inquisition Palaces to come over.”
The Sky Surveillance Hall Master spoke with a magnetic voice. His words shocked the Vajra Saint.
If the hall master didn’t notice anything, then there was nothing wrong with this person. Otherwise, his disguise was too good.
“Great Sage Hunluo, I’m here. Did you discover anything important this time? You actually needed the three palaces to interrogate you together? This has not happened in a long time.”
A woman’s voice appeared in this space, carrying a hint of ridicule. Her voice was clear and cold, like the flowing of a clear spring. It was very pleasant to the ears, making one’s heart calm down.
As she spoke, the Void fluctuated and starlight flowed on the left seat.
Amidst the brilliant light, a woman in a palace dress appeared. She looked like a young woman and was extremely beautiful. The most outstanding thing was that her eyes were as bright as the stars, as if nothing in the world could obscure her heart.
“Great Sage Starsong.”
Sky Surveillance Hall Master nodded in acknowledgment and continued, “I didn’t see anything on the surface. This person is talented and has amazing bones. He has the Sacred Body of the Ancient Age and the Connate Dao Body. One has a powerful body, and the other has astonishing Comprehension. Although they haven’t fused, they are still comparable to the top geniuses in the Imperial Bloodline. They are only slightly inferior to the Son of the Emperor who is born close to the laws.”
Great Sage Starsong looked at Song Shi and added, “He actually has the Sun Divine Body. He’s just a little bit away from having the top-notch Sun Saint Body among fire-elemental Physiques. The most strange thing is how he has the Yin Origin. So many Talents actually converged on one person. How strange.”
Song Shi’s expression changed when he heard that. He felt like he had been seen through. It was a little like he was naked.
Good lord, with just a few glances, his background had actually been seen through. These two fellows were really not simple.
He said unhappily, “It’s fine if you men see through me, but you let a woman see through me completely. Aren’t you a little rude?”
The Vajra Saint’s face darkened when he heard this. Did this guy not know what kind of situation he was in? He actually dared to say such words. He was provoking the Heaven Seeking Palace.
“What an interesting young man. As expected of someone who came from the lower realms. He has indeed experienced a lot to be able to be so calm and unperturbed.”
Great Sage Starsong chuckled, as if she did not care about the frivolity in Song Shi’s words at all.
A pair of white wrists appeared on her long sleeves. Her slender jade-like hands clasped together, and starlight flowed, transforming into a strange star map in the air.
This pattern was made of stars and combined into the appearance of the Eight Trigrams, but it looked a little more complicated. As she pinched her fingers, starlight flickered.
Song Shi was stunned. “Are you telling my fortune?”
“Kid, be quiet. No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak.”
Vajra Saint couldn’t help but kick Song Shi. “Don’t disturb her. This concerns your innocence.”
Song Shi looked at the star chart in a daze. Wasn’t this fortune-telling? He wondered how powerful it was to be able to calculate his past and present lives?
At this moment, the starlight suddenly flickered violently. A moment later, it shattered with a puff. The Great Sage Starsong looked deeply at Song Shi. “Your fate should have died a long time ago. To think that you’re still alive. This is the first time I’ve seen someone who doesn’t belong to the dead and isn’t considered a living person.”
Song Shi was shocked when he heard that. This woman was amazing. She could actually predict his situation. If he did not have the system, he would have died long ago.
Hunluo Grand Sage frowned. “You didn’t manage to divine his background?”
“I’ve calculated it. It’s indeed as he said. It’s related to a Lower Plane that was lost one hundred thousand years ago. However, his fate is also deeply entangled with the demons. It’s hard to say.”
Great Sage Starsong looked deeply at Song Shi. “His fate is very chaotic. I can’t see it clearly. I’m afraid there’s a powerhouse helping him hide the heavenly secrets.”
The Vajra Saint was stunned. “In other words, we still can’t confirm if he’s a spy?”
“Just like his fate. It might or might not be.”
Great Sage Starsong put down his hand and said helplessly, “The past is unknown. Before he does anything, these actions also cannot be predicted.”
Song Shi was impatient. “That’s enough. Why are you talking about this?”
Great Sage Starsong looked at Song Shi. “Your vital fire was extinguished just now, but it was quickly ignited. How strange. This means that even if I kill you, you won’t die.”
Song Shi looked like he had seen a ghost. Good lord, she could even deduce this? Could she see how many deaths he had farmed?
Great Sage Hunluo was shocked for a moment. He thought of something and regained his composure. “Let’s take a look at the Heaven Observation Realm later. If there’s nothing in your body that belongs to the demons, I’ll let you go.”
