Gu Qingyi's request for military resources is drastically reduced by the palace magistrate, who explains it is due to her recent brilliant victory and the resulting perceived peace. Disgusted by the decision to weaken their defenses, Gu Qingyi resolves to resign her position as Town General. As she turns to leave, a powerful bell chime from the mountaintop palace signals the beginning of a significant ceremony, possibly involving a Saint.

Chapter 387 [Saint Arrives at the Immortal Platform]

Outside the great hall atop the Immortal Platform Mountain, clusters of fresh flowers are blooming under the radiance of the holy light, each visible to the naked eye, pushing life to its utmost peak!

Meanwhile, amidst the tolling of bells, a gentle breeze blows, interspersed with what seems to be an ethereal music swirling between heaven and earth, carrying a certain rhythm that touches the heart.

As the sound of the bells and drums resonates together, figures are seen traversing the sky, landing on the plaza before the great hall, each person adorned in multicolored celestial robes, bearing ornate crowns. Both men and women possess an ethereal presence.

Moreover, many Immortal Officials from the Immortal Platform have already ascended along the jade steps, gathering below the plaza.

Though many people are present, no one dares to make loud noises, merely exchanging looks of astonishment. Some gaze at those wearing multicolored celestial robes with ornate crowns standing in the plaza, casting looks of reverence and awe.

Simply because those qualified to enter the plaza and stand before the great hall are influential figures whose very presence can shake the domain realm from the Immortal Platform.

There is the head of a principal division, the Department Hall of a grand pavilion, and the chief of a core mechanism department. It can be said these people comprise nearly the highest power echelon of the Immortal Platform.

A procession of Golden Armor Warriors arrived, holding golden maces, blocking the edge of the steps of the plaza, standing firm with the utmost aura.

However, within the Immortal Platform are all cultivators. Anyone who could rise to such a core place in the domain realm, even at their worst, comes from a reputable sect of noble heritage with notable cultivation strength. Their actions are well-mannered, avoiding any unruly behavior to clash with the Golden Armor Warriors.

Conversely, below the steps, more and more people gather from the edge of the plaza down the jade steps. In just a moment, hundreds stood there, with more arriving continuously.

When Gu Qingyi ran up, the Ascending Heaven Jade Steps leading to the great hall at the summit were already crowded.

Having fought through the battles of war, she paid no mind to these people and squeezed right through the crowd.

Initially, the Immortal Officials and Immortal Scribes observing were cultivators who followed the rules and, upon seeing someone so bluntly pushing forward, those she brushed by couldn’t help but turn their heads to scold.

Yet, before a word left their mouths, seeing Gu Qingyi’s silver armor and deep red cloak, they swallowed back their reprimands.

In the official system of the Immortal Platform, only officials of significant standing, especially with the authority of a Town General, earn the right to wear such deep red cloaks on the Immortal Platform!

Immortal Officials on the Immortal Platform are all sharp amongst countless cultivators; who among them lacks discernment and acuity?

Given the circumstances within the domain realm, no cultivator without a strong footing and foundation could ever reach such a high position.

Let alone the Three Platforms, Eight Passes, and Sixteen Towns, even a local Immortal Army leader must hail from a noble family or sect.

As for serving as a chief commander within the Three Platforms, Eight Passes, and Sixteen Towns, esteemed lineage or being a direct disciple of the Saint himself is a must!

In the domain realm, either it’s the family name or the sect’s banner one relies upon.

An ordinary Loose Cultivator, no matter how exceptional their talent, could never in this lifetime rise to the position where Gu Qingyi now, with a deep-red cloak on her shoulders.

Among the crowd, some savvy individuals recognized Gu Qingyi’s identity—even if they hadn’t met her, seeing she is a female general clad in a deep-red cloak signifying a Town General’s rank, it immediately connects to the recent celebrated figure of the domain realm—the Phoenix of the Gu Family, who achieved glorious feats at Snow Cliff Pass, crushing the Fierce Beast Race powerfully!

Thus, none would dare provoke her lightly.

As a Town General, adorned with merit and authority, wielding military power at a pass, while having the mighty Gu Family’s towering presence behind her, and backing even further, an ancestral Saint.

This is the most invulnerable of backgrounds within the domain realm!

Therefore...

If it’s her, let her squeeze forward as she pleases.

Not to mention reproach, those with slightly lesser status don’t even qualify for a word with her.

Gu Qingyi squeezed to the top layer of the jade steps, where a squad of Golden Armor Warriors stood in front, yet Gu Qingyi continued forward boldly.

The two Golden Armor Warriors in front of her initially raised their brows intending to scold and stop her but upon seeing the deep red cloak behind her, hesitated, then moved aside to clear the path.

Not just the deep red cloak, but its clasp bore the emblem of the Gu Family!

To serve as "Guardians" of the Immortal Platform in the domain realm, how lacking could their discernment be?

The two Golden Armor Warriors silently stepped aside, allowing Gu Qingyi to step onto the plaza before the great hall.

This plaza was originally vast, and amidst it stood all the grandees. Behind these grandees, besides Gu Qingyi, there were others with extraordinary identities and origins on the Immortal Platform. Secure in their status, they passed the Golden Armor Warriors to arrive at the plaza.

Gu Qingyi looked around and recognized some faces, all being the prodigies of noble families or direct heirs from the Saint Sects like herself.

These individuals conducted themselves differently from the ordinary Immortal Officials and Immortal Scribes below the steps—not few belong to sects with ancestral Saints, or their forebears are Saints, so the arrival of a Saint isn’t shocking to them at all.

Some acquaintances even stood together at that moment, conversing softly.

Right then, a dignified man with a hair crown and celestial robe, long beard dangling, among the grandees in front, turned around and sternly commanded those behind him: "The Saint will soon arrive, everyone, fall silent!"
