At that moment, Wang Baole, who was gloating over Little Fatty's misfortune, was still sitting cross-legged in the hall of the palace. His expression was calm as he completed the last Qi Circulation of his cultivation.
When he opened his eyes, a brilliant light shone in them. Under that brilliant light, it was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through the originally gloomy palace.
"I've taken another small step forward from the perfected Spirit Immortal realm … More importantly, my soul is more refined than before!" Wang Baole muttered to himself. With the help of the rich Spirit Qi in the palace and the gentleness that the entire world had for him, Wang Baole's cultivation improved to a new level in the past seven days. While he felt that his entire body was one with his lower body, he also felt an intense feeling that was like a bottle that was about to overflow.
Even though he didn't understand his current state very well, he was still enlightened by his good fortune. He knew that he had now reached the true peak of the perfected Spirit Immortal realm!
This peak wasn't just about his cultivation, but also his soul. To a certain extent, it was the same as his original body. Other than the fact that he didn't have a physical body, everything else was the same.
"In this state, once I advance to the Planet realm and return to fuse with my original body, my combat power … will reach a level that far surpasses those of the same realm!" Wang Baole's eyes were filled with anticipation. His aura also rose, causing ripples to appear around the hall. As they spread, a respectful voice came from outside the hall.
"Young Master, the auspicious hour is approaching. If you're done cultivating, can we come in to help you bathe and change your clothes?"
When Wang Baole heard this, he sensed his cultivation. He stood up and waved his hand. Immediately, the door opened, and three paper dolls walked in. The three of them looked like women. Their faces were delicate and pretty, and they looked like people from paintings. In particular, there was a warmth and gentleness that wasn't there before. When they looked at Wang Baole, their attitudes were respectful and a little shy.
This made Wang Baole blink. He secretly wondered if his charm had increased a little without him controlling it. Even the paper dolls were attracted to him.
As he sighed in his heart, Wang Baole coughed dryly and hurriedly said, "There's no need for that.
"There's no need for that. I heard the bell ring just now. Is the sacrifice about to begin?"
Hearing Wang Baole's words and seeing his reaction, the three girls covered their mouths and laughed. Their eyes were bright, and one of them replied crisply.
"Young Master, there's no need to rush. You're an esteemed guest of our Starfall Empire, and we've arranged for you to enter together with His Majesty on the ninth ring of the bell. It's still early now, and the fifth ring hasn't arrived yet. Wouldn't it be slighting you if we were to wait for you there?"
"The ninth sound?" Wang Baole blinked his eyes. Although he felt that entering together with the Red Paper Doll would reveal his identity, he couldn't help but ask.
"Where are my companions? At which time did they enter? "
"They can only enter at the fourth ring. They have to wait for His Majesty and you inside." The girl smiled and went forward to help Wang Baole bathe.
Wang Baole hesitated for a moment, but he didn't refuse the three girls' bathing and changing clothes. However, it was different from the bathing he imagined. The bathing here was a kind of powder, but it was very effective in cleaning. At the same time, it also left a faint fragrance.
As for the changing clothes, as the name suggested, the Starfall Empire valued Wang Baole very much and gave him a special robe. The robe was made of paper, but no matter whether one touched it or looked at it, one couldn't tell what it was made of. Instead, it had a feeling of satin.
The robe was white, and under the service of the three girls, Wang Baole put it on. It made him, who was wearing a white robe and his black hair, look like a graceful young master. At the same time, he seemed to be more in tune with the world.
The process of bathing and changing took quite a long time. It was only after the eighth ring of the bell reverberated outside that the process finally ended. Finally, the three young ladies bowed towards Wang Baole, their eyes shining with anticipation.
"Young master, please follow us."
Wang Baole touched the robe on his body. He was very satisfied, and his mood was very happy. So, he followed the three girls, and as they chatted and laughed, they walked toward the inner pavilion in the depths of the palace.
Because of their respect for Wang Baole, the three girls answered his questions truthfully along the way. After Wang Baole understood the process and details of the Heavenly Worship very well, he also noticed that the place he was going to seemed to be the back door of the palace's main hall.
According to what he knew, the Heavenly Worship this time would be hosted by the Starfall Emperor. The location would be at the Starfall Plaza outside the palace's main hall. That plaza was incomparably vast, and could accommodate a hundred thousand people at the same time. Those who were qualified to enter the plaza would have to step in at different bell tolls.
Furthermore, the earlier one entered, the longer they would have to wait. The Starfall Emperor would be the last one to appear. His appearance would be the focus of attention, and would also mean that the Heavenly Worship Ceremony had officially begun.
Thinking of this, even though Wang Baole had some guesses in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask.
"That … Are we going to the palace's main hall?"
"That's right. His Majesty is waiting for you there." The girl beside him replied with a smile. Then, she led Wang Baole to the back door of the palace's main hall. After entering through the door, he saw a small path. At the end of the path was the palace's main hall.
After seeing him off, the three girls didn't follow him. Instead, they bowed to Wang Baole and didn't get up. It seemed that they would only get up after he was far away.
Wang Baole hesitated for a moment. Looking at the small path behind the door, his expression slowly turned solemn. As he stepped in, he immediately felt streams of Divine Sense rapidly sweeping past him. However, it was only a sweep before they immediately dispersed. Just like that, Wang Baole didn't stop all the way. After walking through the path and stepping in, he was already in the palace's main hall of the Starfall Empire!
His position was close to the throne. As he looked around, he could see the entire palace. Although everything in the palace was made of paper, the colors were very vivid. At the same time, whether it was the huge pillars or the surrounding statues, they all gave off a sense of grandeur.
At the same time, there were hundreds of paper dolls standing there motionlessly. However, when they saw Wang Baole, most of them nodded slightly with kindness in their eyes.
"Young friend, did you rest well these past few days?"
As Wang Baole looked towards the great hall, a gentle voice sounded beside his ear. Wang Baole looked towards the source of the voice and immediately saw the red thread paper human cutout on the other side of the throne.
"Greetings, Senior," Wang Baole said, clasping hands and bowing. "These past few days of cultivation have been of great help to me!"
"That's good," said the Red Thread Paper Doll. "Cultivators like us rely on fate. At the same time, heart and will are also very important. Sometimes you can't get them because the time isn't right." As the Red Thread Paper Doll walked over, it smiled. The words it spoke caused Wang Baole's heart to tremble.
"There's a hidden meaning in those words …." said Wang Baole thoughtfully.
"Senior, there's a saying in my hometown. It goes like this: all mistakes are made in order to make the best possible arrangement."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the Red Thread Paper Doll stopped in its tracks. It seemed to think about the words carefully, and then its eyes shone with a strange light. It looked closely at Wang Baole, then suddenly laughed.
"I look forward to seeing the best possible arrangement for you!"
"Young friend, please come with me. The Grand Sacrificial Ceremony is about to begin!" As the red-line paper human cutout spoke, it walked out of the grand hall. Wang Baole suppressed his thoughts and followed beside it. As they walked out, the hundreds of paper human cutouts on both sides of the hall followed behind the duo.
Wang Baole and the Red Thread Paper Doll were about to reach the entrance of the main hall. Because the main hall of the imperial palace was located much higher than the square outside, Wang Baole could see that in the middle of the square was an enormous green drum, fully three hundred meters long!
The drum was filled with the will of Time. Although he was too far away to see the details clearly, Wang Baole could still sense its shocking aura. Just one look was enough to make Wang Baole's heart tremble. It was as if he was looking at the Milky Way, the starry sky, and the stars that filled the sky!
It was because of the vastness of the drum that Wang Baole's attention was completely drawn to it. He didn't look at the tens of thousands of figures standing around the square, orderly and densely packed!
He also didn't notice the masked woman and the others among the tens of thousands of figures. Naturally, he didn't notice that because he wasn't there, Clang Bell Girl and Fatty had expressions of pride on their faces.
However, that pride quickly turned into astonishment …. Because at this moment, the ninth toll of the bell suddenly rang out through the entire imperial palace. It was a long, drawn-out toll that surpassed all the previous tolls. It turned into visible ripples that spread out through the entire Falling Star City. Wang Baole and the Falling Star Paper Doll … appeared side by side outside the main hall of the imperial palace under the gazes of tens of thousands of people in the square!
As they appeared, the sky changed!
