Open up and break into another world

Inside the Palace of Inquiry, spiritual energy swirled, resembling a celestial realm.

Stepping into the Palace of Inquiry, Xu Ming immediately felt a surge of energy: “Such rich spiritual energy…”

Xu Ming strongly suspected that even a litter of piglets raised here could be cultivated into a litter of Spirit Realm-level demonic beasts!

“No need to be surprised!” Yi Tianxing said, “Every corner of the Palace of Inquiry is equipped with hundreds of millions of Dao Stones; this spiritual energy all emanates from the Dao Stones.”

Hundreds of millions of Dao Stones?

What else could Xu Ming say? As expected of the core headquarters of the entire human race, truly… rich! Grand! Generous!

“Let’s go directly to the third floor!” Yi Tianxing led Xu Ming along, occasionally introducing things, “The Palace of Inquiry has a total of ninety-nine floors, each floor over ten thousand feet high; and each floor has different uses.”

“This first floor is the main hall; usually, many experts will chat idly here!”

As Yi Tianxing spoke, several figures flew towards them, all Dao Lord experts.

“Inspector Yi!”

“Inspector Yi!”

The experts all spoke respectfully.

As a Dao Venerate mighty figure, Yi Tianxing was among the top experts in the entire human race. Ordinary Dao Lords would be respectful and courteous upon seeing him.

“Gao Mingyu, Gao Minghao, and you all, it’s been a long time!” Yi Tianxing nodded in acknowledgment.

Clearly, these Dao Lords had a good relationship with Yi Tianxing.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Inspector Yi return to the Palace of Inquiry!” Gao Mingyu, with an extraordinary bearing, said with a smile.

“Recently, the territory I oversee hasn’t been very peaceful…” Yi Tianxing sighed.

“Inspector Yi puts the safety of the race first, delaying his own cultivation, which is truly admirable!” This was both flattery and heartfelt words.

Among the many Dao Venerates of the human race, not many are willing to serve as inspectors!

Because… inspectors are too busy!

In the territory they oversee, no matter what unusual situation occurs, the inspector must investigate. Therefore, once a Dao Venerate takes on the role of inspector, they may be too busy to have time for cultivation.

However, it is precisely because of the existence of these inspectors that the alien races that sneak in dare not be too presumptuous.

For example, the Gold-Devouring Rat hiding in the Lake Heart Island territory would have been even more unscrupulous if not for Yi Tianxing’s deterrence!

Therefore, the human territory can be peaceful and undisturbed by alien races; these inspectors guarding all sides truly deserve great credit!

“Inspector Yi is back this time to attend the Dao Inquiry Banquet, right? We won’t disturb you any further, please!” Gao Mingyu said with a smile.

Yi Tianxing and Xu Ming also cupped their hands in greeting before heading to the second floor.

Yi Tianxing continued to introduce: “This second floor is a trading area for miscellaneous items, also known as the free market; if you want to buy or sell anything in the future, you can come here to take a look…”

“The third floor above is the venue for the human race’s grand banquet; even if millions of human experts gather, it won’t be crowded! The Dao Inquiry Banquet is always held on the third floor.”

“The fourth floor is an auction house…”

“The fifth floor…”

Yi Tianxing picked out some important floors to introduce to Xu Ming.

Soon, Xu Ming and Yi Tianxing arrived on the third floor.

Each floor of the Palace of Inquiry is very large; at this time, there were already over ten thousand experts here on the third floor, but looking around, it still felt sparse.

“I’ll take you to the Lake Heart Island territory’s area first!”

Each territory has a corresponding seating area. Large territories correspond to large areas; small territories correspond to small areas.

“Thank you, Inspector Yi!” Xu Ming sincerely thanked Yi Tianxing.

If not for Yi Tianxing leading the way and explaining everything, Xu Ming would probably have been confused and clueless about this Dao Inquiry Banquet! But now, Xu Ming already had a good understanding of the situation of the Palace of Inquiry and the Dao Inquiry Banquet.

“What bad luck!” Suddenly, Yi Tianxing cursed.

“What’s wrong?”

Xu Ming couldn’t help but wonder, and then immediately, he saw a Dao Venerate with a goatee, surrounded by several cultivators, walking towards them.

Before the person arrived, a sharp laugh rang out first: “Haha, isn’t this Inspector Yi? Are you here to freeload at the Dao Inquiry Banquet again!”

Yi Tianxing sneered: “Speaking of eating habits, Inspector Bai Yu’s are much uglier than mine!”

The Dao Venerate with the goatee in front of them was Inspector Bai Yu, who called himself “Bai Yu Immortal.” However, he didn’t have any immortal aura, but rather looked like a wretched old man.

“Ugly eating habits are better than losing ugly, right?” Bai Yu Immortal sneered, “You come to every Dao Inquiry Banquet, but it seems like I haven’t seen any outstanding geniuses from the territory you oversee in thousands of years! Oh, you even brought a kid with you!”

Bai Yu Immortal pretended to have just noticed Xu Ming: “Let me see what kind of amazing genius is worthy of Inspector Yi personally bringing him here!”

Bai Yu Immortal pretended to carefully size up Xu Ming: “There’s not a trace of Heavenly Dao fluctuations on his body, so he’s definitely not a Dao Lord, nor a Half-Step Dao Lord; then, he must be a genius above the Second Level Spirit Peak Realm? What level specifically, Inspector Yi? Oh, right, Pingyao!”

A burly cultivator following behind Bai Yu Immortal immediately stepped forward.

“Let me introduce him!” Bai Yu Immortal narrowed his eyes and smiled, his expression very cunning, “Liang Pingyao, only forty-two years old, and already in the Third Level Spirit Peak Realm! Inspector Yi, tell me, what level is this one next to you specifically?”

The Third Level Spirit Peak Realm is considered the strength of a Half-Step Dao Lord, not yet qualified to join the Palace of Inquiry.

In the past, this Liang Pingyao wouldn’t even have been able to enter the gates of the Palace of Inquiry—because, on weekdays, only true members of the Palace of Inquiry could enter.

During the Dao Inquiry Banquet, as long as a cultivator is under a hundred years old and has strength above the Second Level Spirit Peak Realm, they can enter under the leadership of a member of the Palace of Inquiry.

“The Third Level Spirit Peak Realm at forty-two years old is not bad!” Yi Tianxing said with a fake smile, “What about the other two next to him? Why don’t you introduce them all at once?”

“Hmph, I was just afraid you’d be jealous after hearing it! Since you want to know, then I’ll introduce them to you!” Bai Yu Immortal sneered, “Ze Shi, Lu Weisong, are both One-Step Dao Lords! Especially Ze Shi, who has already entered the One-Step Dao Lord Realm for over thirty years, and is not far from the Two-Step Dao Lord Realm; I’m really looking forward to his brilliant performance at this Dao Inquiry Banquet!”

As Bai Yu Immortal spoke, a look of pride appeared on his face.

Cultivation knows no years.

For Dao Lords with long lifespans, thirty years of cultivation is really a short time!

Being able to possess strength above the Second Level Spirit Peak Realm within a hundred years old is considered a genius. And like Ze Shi, who is less than a hundred years old and whose strength is close to the Two-Step Dao Lord Realm, is considered a genius among geniuses!

“Oh dear, Inspector Yi! What level is this kid you brought specifically? I’ve asked you three times, why won’t you say? Could it just be the Second Level Spirit Peak Realm?” Bai Yu Immortal sneered, “Forget it, forget it, since you’re ashamed to speak, then I won’t continue to press you, lest you say it and embarrass yourself!”

Ashamed to speak?

Embarrass yourself?

Yi Tianxing coldly sneered disdainfully: “I didn’t want to stimulate you, but since you insist on comparing, then I might as well let you know the difference!”
