Chapter 359: Chapter 358: The Palace Opens to the Outside World

Tang San felt the nourishment to his divine consciousness from his Spiritual Power enhanced significantly within the training room. If he could cultivate in such an environment, his divine consciousness would surely recover at a much faster pace.This is just a hotel! Calculated this way, what would the cultivation conditions be like inside the palaces of the Great Demon Emperors? No wonder rank 12 powerhouses emerge. It really is different!

"Worth it or not, Teacher?" Tang San asked with a half-smile, looking at Zhang Haoxuan.

"Worth it, definitely worth it," Zhang Haoxuan said without hesitation. It was indeed worthwhile! When he felt his divine consciousness being nourished, he immediately realized how valuable this place was. Of course, the price was also steep—ten Elemental Coins might have impressive buying power in Jiali City, but here, it could only afford one day's stay.

"Teacher, have you been to the Ancestral Court before?" The mentor and apprentice duo took their seats in the living room.

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "I've been here twice, but back then, I stayed at the headquarters, I couldn't afford a hotel. Not many in the Ancestral Court can afford to stay in hotels."

Tang San replied with a wry smile, "I've already felt that from the price. Teacher, when do you plan to visit the headquarters?"

Zhang Haoxuan said, "In the next couple of days. Here's what I think: it's better to keep your situation confidential, even from the headquarters. I've discussed this with Old Guan and Si Ru. You all need more time to grow; after all, you're still too young. We are worried that if the headquarters knew you were the Shrek squad that caused such a commotion in Jiali City, they would have other plans for you, and it would be difficult for us to refuse at that point."

Tang San nodded in agreement. He wouldn't go anywhere else—he'd stay in Jiali City because his most important person was there.

Zhang Haoxuan continued, "So I'll go and report to the headquarters alone. Now that I'm at God Rank, things are different. With the merits I've established, I've already achieved Green-grade redemption. Even if the organization has designs on our Spirit Gathering Formation Disk, they won't trouble me. I suspect they'll just encourage me and then inquire about the situation in Jiali City. Don't worry."

"Also, we'll need to keep spinning the lie about the Array Master; I'll report it that way to the headquarters. To be honest, I'm a bit disheartened by the breakthrough to God Rank. We've earned so much from the Spirit Gathering Array, and the headquarters definitely made more than us, yet they're still so controlling. You mentioned selling other Array Plates, and I'll try to open a sales channel this time so we can sell them ourselves in the future."

After hearing Zhang Haoxuan's words, Tang San said, "Teacher, I agree with you going to report by yourself. Don't rush into finding sales channels. As the saying goes, 'A man is not guilty, but possession of a gem incurs crime.' The Array Plate involves huge interests. Didn't we come with the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast's caravan this time? From observation, it can be seen that the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast lineage likely has a very developed commercial network throughout the Demon Monster Land, and the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King has close ties with the Peacock Demon Clan and seems more manageable for the future. We also need to use the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast to deal with the aftermath of the Shrek squad's ten consecutive team battle victories. I think it's worth considering to partner directly with them. This way, safety would be relatively higher, and the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast King is a very shrewd businessman. The shrewder the businessman, the better they understand how to obtain more stable and greater benefits."

Zhang Haoxuan's eyes instantly brightened as he heard this, "You mean, we make them our agents for the Array Plates in the future, and also use this matter to help you further shake off the restraints from the past that originate from the Ancestral Court side?"

Tang San nodded.

Zhang Haoxuan asked, "How do you want to do it?"

Tang San released his Spiritual Power, blocking the transmission of sound around them, and whispered a few sentences to Zhang Haoxuan.

Gradually, the smile on Zhang Haoxuan's face grew thicker, "You, oh you... you really are..."

Tang San smiled and said, "That's because you taught me well."

Zhang Haoxuan responded with a wry smile, "Don't say that. I feel ashamed as a teacher. You have taught me more than I have taught you. In my heart, I haven't seen you as a child for a long time."

Tang San said, "Teacher, we are new to the Ancestral Court. Where do you think we should visit that would be beneficial for our future growth or for broadening our horizons?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Haoxuan said, "Of course, it's the palaces of the Great Demon Emperors! Those are places you must visit. Experiencing the aura of the Great Demon Emperors is a pilgrimage for all demon races."

"Ah?" Tang San looked at him in surprise. "The palaces of the Great Demon Emperors are open to the public?"

Zhang Haoxuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, to be precise, it's the opening of some basic areas. It's for members of our own race to worship, but foreigners can also visit, though it will cost more. Members of our own race need to pay five Elemental Coins to enter for a visit or worship. It's double for foreigners. But I think it's worth it. For example, Du Bai should definitely go to the palace of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox to have a look and worship. It will surely benefit his understanding of his own bloodline."

Tang San asked, "Won't our identities be discovered? After all, that's the palace of a Great Demon Emperor. The divine consciousness of a Great Demon Emperor must be terrifying."

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about that. First of all, there are tens of thousands of visitors to each palace. It's impossible for the Great Demon Emperors to constantly cover them with their divine consciousness. Moreover, Great Demon Emperors don't spend much time in their own palaces. The holiest place in the Ancestral Court is the council, where almost all Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors cultivate. Even if they are not at the council, their likelihood of going to the Holy Mountain Thrones is higher than being in their own palaces."

"You must have felt the resonating relationship between the Holy Mountain Thrones and the palaces of the Great Demon Emperors. To be precise, each of the Holy Mountain Thrones is actually used by the Great Demon Emperors to connect with the heaven and earth, thus transforming the spirituality of heaven and earth into the specific form needed by their own branch and then channeled into their palaces to bless their race. Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors are in competition in this aspect, and neither will give way. Therefore, they must often go to the Holy Mountain Thrones to strengthen their connection with heaven and earth."

Upon hearing his explanation, Tang San suddenly had an epiphany, "No wonder, no wonder the spirituality of heaven and earth is so rich here within the Ancestral Court, yet also so mixed. It's caused by the competition among these powerful beings."

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Haoxuan said, "That's why the cultivation environment in this hotel is so precious. This filtered energy is extremely suitable for cultivation. It's much better than the outside world; it's expensive, but rightfully so. But let's not talk about that now, let's continue discussing the Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors. Since you've come to the Ancestral Court, I think you must first take a tour of these palaces, don't miss a single one, go and see them all. I believe some of the auras in these palaces will give you different feelings. These experiences will definitely benefit you when you aim to break through to a God Rank level in the future."

Tang San said, "Teacher, I've always known there are more than a dozen Great Demon Emperors and Heavenly Spirit Emperors, but who are these dozen exactly?"

Zhang Haoxuan smiled and said, "That's what I was about to explain to you. Call everyone over here. I'll explain it to all of you together."

"Yes."

Immediately, Tang San hurried downstairs to call his companions, and once again, when they came up to the sixth floor, the guard recognized him. Having reported the room 666, they were allowed to enter. Which Demon King or Great Demon King doesn't have some followers?

Upon entering room 666, Wu Bingji and his companions couldn't help but express their admiration. This room could be said to be the most luxurious accommodation they had ever seen.
