I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1969: Palace of the God King

"Everyone, don't panic. We must move forward unswervingly according to the original plan. We must remember that no matter what difficulties and obstacles we encounter, we must maintain the noble demeanor of our sect and fully demonstrate our powerful strength and extraordinary style." Elder Bi You of the Ice Palace looked anxious and shouted hurriedly.

Liu Jun glanced at Elder Bi You. He was a very good situational figure and his reactions were quick.

With several respected leaders here to keep the peace, everyone felt more at ease. However, the hearts of these leaders were not as calm as they seemed.

The Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony was scheduled to begin at noon, but their current speed was too slow. If they continued at this speed, let alone arriving at noon, even if they could arrive at the hour of the dog, it would be considered that they were not lazy or slacking off.

"The team with the red and gold-rimmed invitation to the Palace of the God King can fly ten feet in the air and go straight to the main entrance square of the Palace of the God King to wait for the order to enter the palace." At this critical moment, an extremely loud voice, like a huge bell, resounded majestically throughout the magnificent City of the God King.

Dan Zong and Bing Palace were by no means insignificant forces in the entire vast divine world, so the invitations they received were exactly the same as the one Liu Jun had, with gorgeous and dazzling red and gold edges.

Upon hearing these words, Elder Bi You quickly called all the disciples from Danzong Ice Palace, and without hesitation, he took off into the air and flew rapidly towards the main entrance square of the Palace of the God King.

Not only did they hold the red invitation with gold edges, but there were also many other people who held the same invitation in this bustling and crowded crowd.

These people's actions were exactly the same as Liu Jun and his men. They all flew into the air without hesitation and set their sights on the Palace of the God King.

Originally, Liu Jun thought that after they flew into the air, the situation of the crowded crowd below would be much better.

What they never expected was that as soon as they took off, the empty spaces were instantly blocked by the surging crowd. Looking around, the density of the crowd did not seem to have decreased at all.

When Liu Jun and his group arrived at the magnificent main entrance square of the Palace of the God King, the sunlight was gently shining on the square, casting a layer of golden glow on this solemn place.

At this time, the square was already bustling with people. Representatives from all the major forces in the Skyfire Divine Realm and even other distant divine realms gathered together. They were standing or sitting, talking in groups of three or five, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement for the upcoming ceremony.

Among these people, some are dressed in gorgeous clothes, showing their prominent status; others are low-key and introverted, but the confidence revealed in their eyes cannot be ignored.

Among them, there are many guests who came from far away and overcame numerous difficulties just to witness this grand event with their own eyes.

In the crowd, there were several representatives of forces who seemed to have deep connections with Danzong and Binggong. As soon as they saw Elder Chen Shanhe of Danzong and Elder Bi You of Binggong, they immediately smiled brightly and greeted them without hesitation. They greeted them warmly, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years. The warmth and sincerity were touching.

Elder Bi You, as the representative of the Ice Palace, is not only powerful, but also a man of character who loves to make friends. He is always surrounded by all kinds of friends, whether they are fellow practitioners or elites from other fields, he can get along with them all. At this moment, he is like a fish in water, chatting and laughing with all kinds of heroes.

Elder Chen Shanhe, with his status as a master of alchemy, became the focus of everyone's attention. His name was well-known throughout the entire Divine Realm, and countless people were eager to get his guidance or a precious elixir. Therefore, when the representatives of those forces saw Elder Chen Shanhe, they all took the initiative to greet him, hoping to take this opportunity to get closer to him.

However, in this lively scene, Liu Jun seemed a little out of place. He didn't like the feeling of being watched by everyone, and he didn't like being the focus of other people's discussions. So, this guy quietly hid in the crowd of Danzong students, trying to find a trace of peace in the crowd.

Elder Chen Shanhe knew Liu Jun's character very well, so he did not reveal Liu Jun's true identity and strength, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to Liu Jun.

After all, if such a young master of alchemy were exposed, it would inevitably cause an uproar. By then, Liu Jun would probably not be able to enjoy a moment of peace.

The Palace of the God King was very large, like a magnificent city of giants, standing on the vast land. The height of the city wall was breathtaking, and it was much higher than the already majestic outer wall of the City of the God King.

You know, in a normal large city, the height of the inner city wall is often lower than that of the outer city. This is designed to defend against foreign invasion. The inner city is usually used as a residential area for politicians and nobles, which requires a relatively safe environment, while the outer city is where civilians and merchants gather and is closer to the battlefield, so the walls are taller to resist enemy attacks. But the Palace of the God King broke this convention. Its inner city wall is so high that it seems to pierce the sky, showing its extraordinary and majesty.

The entire Palace of the God King looked majestic, like a supreme palace in heaven. On the city wall, flags fluttered in the wind, showing the power and glory of the Palace of the God King. Every brick and stone of the city wall seemed to contain infinite power, which made people feel awe. The buildings in the city were even more scattered and magnificent, and each one seemed like a work of art, making people linger.

"Boss Yao, was the Palace of the God King this big before?" the fat man asked in surprise, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to take in the entirety of this magnificent building.

His tone was full of disbelief. Obviously, the scene before him was far beyond his imagination.

He had also been to the imperial palace in the capital of the mortal world. Although it was also magnificent and majestic, compared with the Palace of the God King, it was like a pile of building blocks played by children, and was simply not worth mentioning. Every brick and tile of the Palace of the God King exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if it could travel through time and space and bring people into a completely different world.

"It has always been this big." Yao Guangxiao replied calmly. Although his voice was calm, the shock in his eyes still existed. Obviously, this was not the first time he had seen the Palace of the God King, but every time he faced this ancient palace, he would be shocked by its grandeur and mystery.

This time, a few of them mixed in with Danzong's team and saw the world, with amazement and awe written all over their faces.

"Awesome!" The fat man couldn't help but exclaim in praise again.

He was wondering before, how could this Jinliufu Qiangui branch dare to build a 19-story wooden building? How could the Palace of the God King allow them to build such a high building? Now it seems that his worries are completely unnecessary. A 19-story wooden building is nothing. Even if it is 29 stories, it is not as high as the towering walls of the Palace of the God King.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The forces whose names I am calling out are about to enter. Someone will lead the way for you." The majestic and loud voice that resounded throughout the City of the Gods as loud as thunder rang out again, but this time, the sound seemed to have been deliberately restrained a lot, echoing only over this spacious square, allowing everyone present to hear it clearly, but no longer disturbing other corners of the City of the Gods.

Everyone in the square stopped talking and focused their attention on the main entrance of the Palace of the God King.

"Can these people be obedient?" the fat man asked in a low voice to the person next to him, with a hint of uncertainty and curiosity in his voice.

"Yes, after all, everyone follows the rules." The ape man next to him responded, and at the same time, he pursed his lips at the guards at the main gate of the God King Palace, signaling the fat man to pay attention to those guards. "And the rules are in the hands of those people."

The fat man followed the ape man's gaze and saw rows of guards in gorgeous armor standing at the main entrance of the God King's Palace. They stood tall and straight, with solemn expressions, and the powerful aura they exuded made people dare not look directly at them.

“Fatty, these guards are all at the late stage of Lord God level, and the ones leading them are at the early stage of Half-Step Divine King level.” Seeing that the fat man seemed a little puzzled, the tiger-striped muscular man further explained, “Who dares to disobey the rules in front of them? The consequences of disobeying are very serious.”

As the voice fell, the atmosphere in the square became more solemn. Representatives of various forces began to walk to the main gate of the Palace of the God King in the order mentioned in the voice, and were led by those powerful guards into the Palace of the God King.

Inside the Palace of the God King stands a magnificent and breathtaking building with a resounding and majestic name – Skyfire Martial Arts Arena.

This is not only a landmark of the Palace of the God of Heavenly Fire, but also the destination for all guests who come to participate in the Ten Thousand Years Fire Ceremony.

This martial arts arena is of a grand scale, several times larger than the largest stadium in the human world. However, it only occupies one tenth of the entire God King Palace. From this, it is not difficult to imagine how huge and magnificent the entire God King Palace is.

The design of the Skyfire Martial Arts Arena is ingenious and unique. It has eighty-eight entrances, a very auspicious number that seems to be intentionally designed. Each entrance is spacious and bright, able to accommodate a large number of guests to enter in an orderly manner.

When you step into the martial arts arena, you will see the vast main martial arts arena. The space here is huge enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people watching the competition or performance at the same time without feeling crowded or oppressive. Various advanced facilities and formations are set up around the martial arts arena to ensure that every performance or competition can proceed smoothly.

In addition to the area for watching the competition, the Skyfire Martial Arts Arena is also equipped with complete food and accommodation facilities. It is like an independent small city, where guests can enjoy a variety of delicious food and comfortable accommodation conditions. Whether tasting the unique delicacies of the Skyfire Divine King City or feeling the unique accommodation atmosphere, it will leave guests with unforgettable memories.

Liu Jun and his party, led by the guards in front, slowly walked into the Skyfire Martial Arts Arena. They were arranged to sit in the upper seats of the audience seats of the main martial arts arena.

The seats here are not divided according to the ticket price. On the contrary, the higher the seat, the higher the status and identity. Therefore, being able to sit here is undoubtedly a great honor and affirmation for Liu Jun and his party.

At this moment, they were looking at the stage in the center of the martial arts arena with great anticipation, looking forward to the exciting performance or competition that was about to take place.

At this time, a guard of the Palace of the God King, wearing gorgeous clothes, a silver helmet and a shining sword at his waist, came over. He walked steadily and had sharp eyes. After scanning the crowd around him, his eyes finally fell on Liu Jun.

"But Grand Elder Liu Jun?" The guard's voice was loud and clear, with a hint of unquestionable majesty. He bowed slightly, obviously respecting Liu Jun's status.

Hearing this, Liu Jun frowned slightly, a hint of doubt appeared on his face, and he turned to look at the guard, his eyes flashing with curiosity and confusion: "I am Liu Jun, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, the guard's expression became even more respectful. He whispered, "The steward wants to see you." His words were concise and clear, but revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Hearing this, Liu Jun frowned and asked, "Can I not go?"

This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Not only did the guard freeze, but the people around him also cast astonished glances. They looked at Liu Jun in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

You know, the chief steward of the Divine King Palace! When the Skyfire Divine King is not around, she is second only to him and above everyone else. Her invitation is a great honor and opportunity for anyone. However, Liu Jun refused without hesitation?
People around began to whisper and discuss. They speculated on the reason why Liu Jun refused. Some said that he might not want to go because of some personal matters, and some said that he might do it on purpose because he was dissatisfied with the chief steward. But in any case, Liu Jun's action undoubtedly caused a big disturbance around him.
