Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1298 - 387: [Saint Arrives at the Immortal Platform] (2)
Previously on Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!...
Gu Qingyi recognized that this person was currently one of the magnates of the Immortal Platform, ranked as one of the three chiefs of the Immortal Platform.
The system of the Immortal Platform is divided into eight departments.
Among them, the War Department is the most prominent.
Under each department, there are some "pavilions," and some pavilions with real power hold significant influence. Being a head of such a "pavilion" is often more prestigious than being the leader of some fringe "departments."
For example, the "Golden Stone Pavilion," which has been troubling Gu Qingyi recently, controls the supply of all military magical artifacts for the Immortal Army. Its position is extremely crucial, and the words of its leader often carry more weight than those of some fringe department elders.
However, truly standing at the cloud’s height of the Immortal Platform have always been only three people.
One is called the Sword Master, one the Palm Seal, and one the Sacrificial Priest.
The Sword Master is in charge of warfare and handles all military matters.
The Palm Seal is in charge of power, overseeing all administrative affairs across the Domain Realm.
And the most unobtrusive, the Sacrificial Priest, usually appears silent and lacking in real power, but holds an unusually noble position by three points.
Only because only the Sacrificial Priest is responsible for the daily worship of the Heavenly Dao and the enshrining of the forty-two Saints.
And most importantly, conveying the decrees occasionally passed down by the ancestral Saints!
The person who spoke to reprimand everyone into silence was precisely one of the three giants of the Immortal Platform, the Palm Seal, surnamed Li, with the Dao name Zhiyan.
Although the Li surname seems ordinary, in the Domain Immortal Platform, it is a first-class noble surname!
This is because, among the forty-two Saints in the Domain, one of the two Great Celestial Venerables at the top is surnamed Li!
This Li Zhiyan, Master Li, occupies the position of Palm Seal of the Immortal Platform, responsible for all administrative affairs of the Domain Realm, not only because of his profound cultivation, at the Primordial Spirit Realm Great Perfection, just a step away from the Saint Position.
But also because he is the descendant and bloodline of that Great Celestial Venerable of the Li family, the leading figure of the top noble family in the Domain, the Li Clan!
In terms of authority, in the Domain, other than the forty-two Saints, he is truly the forty-third person!
In the Domain, the evaluation of this Master Li of the Immortal Platform is that he is not a Saint, but resembles a Saint.
And privately, it is believed that if ever a Saint Position becomes vacant under the Heavenly Dao, the next one to be promoted to the Saint Position will inevitably be this Li Zhiyan, Master Li!
At this moment, there are many big shots standing in the central square, but all consciously or unconsciously surround Li Zhiyan and the other two.
On Li Zhiyan’s left and right are two other chiefs, with one being an elderly man with white hair and beard, whose gaze is as calm as still water, and his expression indifferent. He is dressed in a spotless white ceremonial robe, but wears straw sandals, resembling a cultivator from the mountains.
He is the Sacrificial Priest of the Immortal Platform.
The other is a woman in golden armor, with a hint of seven-colored light flowing over the armor, standing calmly with hands behind her beside Li Zhiyan.
She is currently the Sword Master of the Immortal Platform!
This leader of the Domain’s military affairs, responsible for warfare, is actually a woman!
Gu Qingyi, standing at the edge of the square, stopped moving forward after Li Zhiyan’s shout.
Looking at the figures of the three magnates, a thought crossed his mind.
If one were to refer to the notion from the outside world.
The structure of these three magnates of the Immortal Platform seems very much like...
One is the Prime Minister, the head of the civil servants, another is the Great General, the head of the military generals, and the other is the High Priest.
Only, there is no Emperor in the Domain Realm... No, to be precise, there are forty-two Emperors.
And above the forty-two Emperors, there is a Heavenly Dao.

Li Zhiyan glanced at the main hall, a complex look flashing in his eyes. The pleasant immortal music around him reached his ears, evoking a faint sense of agitation.
Ordinarily, if a decree from a Saint is issued, it is conveyed by the Sacrificial Priest. If a Saint descends, the Sacrificial Priest would typically be informed in advance to prepare.
This kind of sudden descent of a Saint without prior indication is just a spectacle for most people.
But for a magnate like him in the Immortal Platform, it often signals potential trouble.
Like a leader coming down to inspect without prior notice, a sudden visit.
It could mean a major action is coming, where once a Saint speaks, the Immortal Platform must quickly act.
"Master Situ, did you have any news beforehand of this Saint’s descent? No message from the attendants of the Saint?"
The white-robed, white-haired old man, responsible for the Sacrificial rites of the Immortal Platform, Master Situ, shook his head lightly: "I don’t know."
Li Zhiyan frowned and asked again, "Then...who do you think this suddenly descended Saint could be?"
Master Situ still squinted, gazing downward and centered, responding indifferently: "I also do not know."
Li Zhiyan frowned, about to speak once more, when the Sword Master beside him chuckled softly, casually saying: "Why ask more, Palm Seal Master, whatever the Saint wants, let it be, we just meticulously carry out the Saint’s commands."
Li Zhiyan sighed gently, glanced at the faintly smiling Sword Master beside him, dismissed his random thoughts, and nodded slightly: "Master Han is quite right."
