I can find treasures in my dreams.

When Bei Ming and Peggy turned around, they saw that there were many people around them. A quick glance revealed a sea of ​​black people, numbering at least several thousand.

The person who recited the ancient Xia poem "A lone plume of smoke rises straight from the vast desert" was a very young-looking official in uniform.

Bei Ming glanced at the other person and, with a mysterious and subtle intuition, vaguely felt that this young man was most likely a person in a higher position.

In the past, he would have made a big fuss about it.

But now we live in an era of superpowers, with all sorts of extraordinary people emerging, and many young people rising to high positions.

It's not surprising at all that such a person would appear in Mr. Lingya's dojo.

At this time.

The young man noticed Bei Ming's gaze, smiled, and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Guo Nannan."

Pei Ming quickly returned the greeting: "Hello, my name is Pei Ming."

The young man's next words revealed the important figure's identity: "Oh, I remember you. Yesterday, the Star of Civilization shone brightly. You were the first person in Atinna to awaken a special ability."

Because ordinary people cannot access this confidential information; only important figures with access to more information channels can know it.

Pei Ming became even more polite, saying modestly, "I was just lucky."

After saying that, he suddenly didn't know what to say. He just turned his head and looked around, gazing at the magnificent Xia-style palaces.

The group was currently in a square in front of the palace complex.

The square looked quite spacious, roughly the size of two football fields.

White stone pillars stand tall all around, each nearly a meter in diameter and over twenty meters high.

One after another, cloud dragons formed from white mist emerged from the stone pillar, winding and circling around it before disappearing back into it, repeating this cycle endlessly.

The palace complex also features a variety of amazing phenomena.

These palaces are all different colors; some are emerald green, others are dark green, some are golden yellow, and the rest are white.

such as:

There is a deep green palace standing in a pool of shimmering blue water, which is filled with emerald green lotus leaves and a large expanse of vibrant lotus flowers.

If you stare at the palace for a while, it will suddenly seem extremely distant, the surrounding palaces will mysteriously disappear, and the lotus pond will suddenly appear infinitely large.

Such a scene truly embodies another ancient Xia dynasty poem: "The lotus leaves stretch to the sky, an endless expanse of green."

For example:
There is a pure white palace, which seems to be carved from ice and snow, with white icicles hanging from the eaves.

The gardens surrounding the palace, including the walls, corridors, pavilions, and trees, also appear to be sculpted from ice and snow.

If you stare at the palace for a while, you will feel a chill all over your body, and your breath will be covered in white mist.

Bei Ming glanced at it a few more times, and soon goosebumps covered his arm.

He shivered, quickly looked away, and muttered in surprise, "Why is it so cold?"

He felt that this place was incredibly magical, almost like a legendary abode of immortals.

Those who had been invited to the square also noticed the palace's strangeness, and a buzzing sound arose from the crowd.

Guo Nannan glanced at Bei Ming and introduced with a smile: "The palace complex in the Lingya Dojo is called the 'Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace,' with each palace corresponding to a solar term."

Pei Ming paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "No wonder the palace is a different color."

The four colors of the palace complex clearly correspond to different seasons: green represents spring, dark green corresponds to summer, golden yellow indicates autumn, and pure white is the color of winter.

Guo Nannan added, "Each palace contains Mr. Lingya's unique understanding of supernatural abilities and supernatural powers."

“We come here to visit the palace, and perhaps we will have the opportunity to comprehend the power within. That is why this place is called ‘Tao-chang’ (道场). The ‘Tao’ in this name means ‘to impart knowledge, teach skills, and resolve doubts’.”

"Therefore, the square where we are standing now has been named 'Preaching Square'."

Pei Ming was immediately filled with respect.

He suddenly understood why he had received the invitation.

The real reason was obviously not because he had awakened supernatural abilities, but because Mr. Spirit Raven believed he was a promising talent and therefore wanted to impart his teachings to him and help him master supernatural powers.

Guo Nannan smiled and said, "Now you can take a good look and see which palace is most suitable for your enlightenment. The other palaces will not help you and may even disrupt your understanding of power."

Pei Ming said earnestly, "Mr. Guo, thank you!"

He understood that this important figure was kindly reminding him that only one of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palaces was most compatible with his own special ability, and that he should experience it carefully now to avoid wasting time later.

Guo Nannan waved her hand: "Compared to the teachings of the great Lingya, my little bit of help is nothing at all."

Bei Ming stopped speaking and began to intently examine each solar term palace, trying his best to sense whether the power contained within them was compatible with his own.

With nothing else to do, Guo Nannan began to observe the crowd in the preaching square.

Because the invitation times were not uniform—some were at 9:55, some at 10:00, and some at 10:05—people kept entering the temple, and the square became increasingly crowded.

After all, having so many people rush in at once would consume too much supernatural power; having them enter in batches would reduce the pressure considerably.

At this time, the preaching square was already packed with people; a rough estimate suggests that the number of attendees would not be less than 10,000.

Many of them were soldiers in uniform, as well as superhumans in the uniforms of the Kyushu Legion and the Blood Flag Legion, and public officials in their uniforms. These people made up more than 70% of the group, while the rest were ordinary people dressed in various ways. His secretary, Karina, took two steps closer and whispered, "Director, there must be something important to announce today, right?"

Guo Nannan nodded and answered in a low voice, "That person seems to have encountered a small problem."

Although he spoke vaguely, the female secretary understood instantly.

Those in the know are aware that for the past six months or so, the Xie Zhi Inspection Division, under the leadership of Mr. Lingya, has been rapidly purging all sorts of scum from within the Great Xia Dynasty.

This is not surprising. Everyone has desires, but some people can suppress them while others let their desires drive them.

The Great Xia is such a vast country with a total population of over two billion that scum always keeps emerging and can never be completely cleaned up.

Not long ago, the Xiezhi Division investigated a case and arrested a number of people, some of whom happened to be related to a very important figure.

News media couldn't find any related reports, but those in the know understood that this was an absolutely earth-shattering incident.

Guo Nannan lowered her voice even further: "The Spirit Raven Boss has always been very low-key and has almost never appeared in the media, unlike the other rulers who often appear on television. This time, the Boss has opened a dojo in a high-profile manner, and there may be a reason for it."

Karina was a smart woman and immediately understood the meaning of those words.

She whispered, "The big boss brought out the World Secret Realm and demonstrated the amazing Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace. This is incredible."

Only those within the circle understand that the bigwigs don't argue or debate; they simply use their overwhelming power to suppress the situation. What a brilliant and ruthless tactic that is!

No matter how fiercely the opposition shouts or how many people they seem to have, they will be swept away by this method, which is not even on the same level.

Faced with the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace, which resembles a celestial palace, all dissenting voices seem pale and powerless.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The clock quickly jumped to 10:15.

Guo Nannan whispered, "It's starting."

As the master of the stars, he had far more information than Bei Ming, and he knew that a major announcement would be made at this time.

The voice just fell.

At the very front of the Preaching Square, at the very top of the twenty-four steps leading to the First Palace, Lichun Palace, a sudden change occurred.

"Wow~"

A clear spring gushed forth, its water flowing down the steps, and a multitude of green grass sprouted, quickly weaving a verdant carpet adorned with colorful flowers.

A figure familiar to everyone in Daxia, Gongsun Minghe, emerged from the highest point of the steps.

As the chief, this unique entrance is undoubtedly a special privilege bestowed upon him by the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace.

Gongsun Minghe looked around and coughed softly.

Although there was no microphone in front of him, his voice instantly resounded throughout the preaching square, as if it were ringing in everyone's ears.

The more than 10,000 attendees fell silent instantly.

Gongsun Minghe spoke first: "The establishment of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace is a remarkable event for both the Great Xia Dynasty and the Azure Star. I feel very honored to be able to witness it firsthand."

The chief clapped his hands vigorously a few times as he finished speaking.

More than 10,000 people clapped along, and the applause swept across the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace like thunder.

Guo Nannan listened thoughtfully.

In the past, he would have thought this was just a meaningless formality.

After experiencing the operation to destroy the Pampas Independence Army, he grew up at an astonishing pace.

Now he understood that this was the Chief publicly expressing his strong support for the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Palace and the Spirit Crow in front of the whole world.

Gongsun Minghe didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Taking advantage of this grand event, I plan to announce something."

"Mr. Liu has recently been feeling increasingly overwhelmed, and has therefore decided to resign from all his positions to enjoy his retirement. After a collective discussion, we have decided that Mr. Lingya will take over Mr. Liu's position."

Guo Nannan gasped.

Since Mr. Liu is ranked second, the so-called "lack of strength" is obviously just an excuse.

Because we live in an era of superpowers, there are plenty of good things to enhance physical strength and improve health. Even a seventy-year-old could live another half a century without any difficulty.

It's entirely plausible that Mr. Liu's sudden step down from his frontline position is related to a case being investigated by the Xie Zhi Division.

on the other hand.

Gongsun Minghe is not young anymore. Faced with the ever-changing new era and countless challenges, he is probably the one who truly feels powerless.

In a few years, Gongsun Minghe will most likely step down, and according to the system, Mr. Lingya will officially take over the position of chief.

Therefore, the announcement today is a major event that will change the course of history, no matter how you look at it.

Many people in the preaching square understood this, and a noticeable commotion instantly broke out in the area.

No one expected that Mr. Lingya would become the one about to reach the pinnacle of Great Xia. (End of Chapter)
