Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1299 - 387: Saint Arrives at the Immortal Platform

At this moment, the three suddenly felt a stirring in their hearts, swept by a powerful Divine Thought!

They lifted their heads and saw a ray of twilight descending from the sky, landing in the grand hall.

Instantly, the twilight filled their eyes, and their mouths and noses were suffused with fragrance!

The steward in charge of the sacrificial rites, Situ Zhishou, had a sudden change in expression. His originally squinting eyes opened, and he whispered, "It’s the Luoyan Twilight of Cloud Tide Island! It is Saint Luoyan who has arrived!"

Li Zhi Yan was taken aback by these words: "Saint Luoyan? Hasn’t it been a long time since..."

At that moment, the twilight intensified, and Li Zhi Yan dared not say more, hastily collected his thoughts, and loudly proclaimed:

"The Saint descends! All on the Immortal Platform, kneel."

Li Zhi Yan immediately solemnly lowered his voice and was the first to kneel down slowly.

From him, the two giants surrounding him, the many Department Hall elders, behind them Gu Qingyi and other notable individuals of noble status, and even the densely gathered Immortal Officials and Immortal Clerks at the base of the steps, all knelt down.

Even the Golden Armor Warriors turned around, facing the grand hall, knelt on one knee, and bowed their heads silently.

·

The twilight descended from the sky into the grand hall, the hall became radiant with dazzling brilliance that compelled the eyes.

Subsequently, a chaotic and indistinct voice emerged slowly from within the hall, Primordial Qi surging, each word landed clearly in everyone’s ears!

"Hmm, rise."

The clarity of the voice was evident, yet it was impossible to discern whether the voice was pleasant or harsh, nor whether it was male or female, as if some Spell had been used to mask the original tone.

Li Zhi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, leading everyone to rise slowly: "Supplying Saint Luoyan, Li Zhi Yan, temporarily holding the Palm Seal of the Immortal Platform, with all under the Immortal Platform, receiving the Saint’s decree! All under the Immortal Platform, at the Saint’s command!"

The hall remained quiet for a moment, then suddenly a light laugh was heard: "Ha."

Then, the Saint in the hall continued: "Li Zhi Yan, I remember you, you are a descendant of the Li Family. The last time I came to the Immortal Platform, you were merely a Pavilion Master, and now you are already a Zhishou."

Li Zhi Yan didn’t say much, cupping his hands and bowing respectfully.

"Well, the Li Family indeed produces outstanding talents, deserving of dominating the leading position."

The Saint leisurely continued speaking—this statement, Li Zhi Yan dared not respond to, so he bent his waist lower to show more respect.

"I have long secluded myself to comprehend the intent of the Heavenly Dao, and upon emerging this time, assist me with two matters."

"Please instruct, Saint." Li Zhi Yan, being the head among the three Zhishou, responded immediately.

"I have been secluded for long, and now I desire movement, intending to transmit teachings at the old venue. Order someone to clear eight hundred li around Cloud Tide Island, cleansing the sea!"

This time, Li Zhi Yan made no sound, but the Sword Master Han Zhishou immediately spoke to take the command: "Sword Master receives the decree!"

The so-called cleansing of the sea is not merely sweeping; it is... thoroughly clearing an eight-hundred-li sea area around Cloud Tide Island! Any Spirit Monsters or Demons, and any chaotic thing, must be swept away! Since it’s to uproot, naturally the execution should be commanded by this master of slaughter.

"The second matter, as I transmit teachings on Cloud Tide Island, announce throughout the world that within a hundred days, select three hundred talented and yet uncultivated boys and girls to hear my teachings, and if fated, they may be chosen to serve before my seat."

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn’t help but look up at the hall, faces filled with shock and delight!

Is the Saint planning to recruit disciples?!

To be directly accepted as a disciple by the Saint is beyond contemplation.

But to be recruited as a disciple is a great fortune!

Moreover, to be a disciple personally taught by the Saint!!

If one could be chosen by the Saint and accepted to serve before the seat, it would be an extraordinary fortune!

Even if merely listening to a teaching session and not being chosen, one could still confidently claim when traveling the world: "I am a disciple of the Saint!"

Anyone with ambition immediately realized that these three hundred selection slots represented three hundred brilliant opportunities!!

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi Yan felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, these two tasks don’t seem too difficult.

The Saint wishing to publicly transmit teachings is a great thing, theoretically, it’s a good event benefiting all cultivators under heaven—well, theoretically speaking.

As for cleansing an eight-hundred-li sea area around the venue before the teachings, that is also customary.

These two matters aren’t very challenging.

While pondering, he heard the voice from the hall speak again:

"Zhishou of the Li Family."

"Zhi Yan is here, does the Saint have any further decrees?" Li Zhi Yan still maintained his bow.

"Under the Immortal Platform, the three Zhishou are respected, among them, the Palm Seal is historically the leader.

I have not often visited the Immortal Platform; I wish to see how you, as a Palm Seal, are performing, whether you have disgraced the Li Family’s name.

In this way, I will allow a moment, and all sorts of people below the Immortal Platform may come before the hall to report grievances.

If there have been inequities in governance, or injustices, they can report it to me, and I shall judge in the hall."

Li Zhi Yan was taken aback.

No?

What does this mean?

Is the Saint craving to play the role of an honest official?

In front of so many people, playing this game?

But with deep cultivation, Li Zhi Yan, whether in Qi refining or cultivating the mind, had reached the pinnacle, remained outwardly calm, slowly straightened up, turned around to the people behind him, and loudly declared:

"The Saint has decreed, gentlemen, if there are any misgovernances or injustices, you may come forward to report to the Saint, even if there is any fault in what I, Li Zhi Yan, or the other two Zhishou have done, one can report it together, and the Saint will preside."

Though Li Zhi Yan had some thoughts, he had led the Immortal Platform for many years with deep prestige and was confident no foolish person would be so blind as to actually step forward, in front of the Saint, to complain or seek justice.

There wouldn’t be... such foolish people, right?

Although the Saint is supreme, he only comes once, not daily; if someone dared to complain in front of the Saint, in the future... could one still mix in the Immortal Platform?

He thought this inwardly, his face remaining confident.

But, unexpectedly...

Suddenly, a clear female voice rang out loudly.

"Town General of Snow Cliff Pass, Gu Clan’s daughter Qingyi, has a matter to petition the Saint!!"

Li Zhi Yan’s expression changed, and before he could react, the voice of the Saint echoed from the grand hall.

"Since there is a matter to petition, Gu Family’s young lady, I permit you to step forward and enter the hall to speak."

Everyone present, including the three giants, suddenly widened their eyes.
