Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 335 The Supreme Holy Land and the Supreme Palace

Originally, the place where the Azure Dragon King lived in seclusion was a huge marshland, which was in line with the living habits of dragons. However, this huge oasis has now been transformed into a magnificent complex of palaces and towering buildings!
This was almost impossible to do in a short time, but someone with a sharp eye spotted one of the palaces, which looked somewhat familiar.

"Isn't this the palace that Jiang Yi brought from the Jiang family? How did it become the palace of the Supreme Holy Land?"

"And isn't that the Peacock King's palace over there? I saw that palace when we attacked the Peacock King!"

"And that one, that's Xu Heng's palace complex. He robbed a holy land back then and even displayed it as a trophy. How did it become a palace of the Supreme Holy Land?"

"I knew it! How could the Supreme Holy Land have built such a massive palace complex in just one month? It turns out they just snatched things from other places and pieced them together..."

Someone spoke up, their eyes filled with disbelief.

However, upon closer reflection, it seems quite reasonable.

Since these people were originally bandits and outlaws, how could we really expect them to build so many palaces in just one month?

The establishment of a holy site requires at least a century of preparation.

As for the accumulation required to establish a holy land, it would take at least several thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years.

In comparison, the time it took for the Supreme Holy Land to reach its goal in just one month was indeed incredibly fast.

"So many palaces, they couldn't all have been looted, could they?" someone asked in surprise.

"What else? What do you think?" someone beside him couldn't help but speak up. "They're notorious bandits, don't treat them like ordinary strongmen. Almost everything they have was stolen!"

Even though they were still some distance from the Supreme Holy Land, they could already see many familiar palaces, some from certain holy lands, and some from other places...

However, not one of them was actually established by this group of bandits themselves in a serious manner.

The palace complex, stretching for thousands of miles, is magnificent and imposing. Some people discovered that this complex was not built on the spot, but was all stockpiled by the bandits, which were the spoils of war obtained by the bandits from plundering other holy lands.

Although many palace complexes look splendid when put together, a closer look reveals that there are actually some discordant elements among them.

Some palaces are clearly in the style of the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, and even have the unique aura of the Ji family. Other palaces are in the style of the Northern Region, and also bear the unique mark of the Jiang family...

Anyway, if you look closely, it looks very awkward.

However, they did not think that the Supreme Holy Land was incapable of seeing these problems. So after thinking it over, they felt that the most likely possibility was that the Supreme Holy Land did it intentionally, and that they wanted to use this method to promote their "power"!
"They really are a bunch of bandit leaders!"

In terms of strength, these bandits and demon clan experts are all formidable figures, and would be considered strongmen even in the current Northern Region.

As for courage...

There's really nothing these guys aren't capable of!

They all dared to seize the mining areas of the Holy Land families, and the Peacock King even smashed the gate of the Ji family with a single slap!

So what else wouldn't they dare to do?

They probably did this on purpose, just to show the Holy Land families that the palace they lost was here!
How long have you been here?
The powerful figures from the holy land families looked grim.

"The Supreme Holy Land has become far too arrogant. Aren't they afraid that other holy lands and families will be dissatisfied and cause trouble during the grand ceremony?"

"It is said that Qi Hao was the one who arranged the entire grand ceremony."

"Ah! It was him! Then it's alright!"

As the time drew near, wave after wave of powerful figures descended upon the domain gate. Like the first wave of powerful figures to arrive, they were also shocked when they saw the palace complex in the distance.

Then, the shock turned into astonishment.

"Supreme Holy Land, what a magnificent sight!" a powerful figure from a certain holy land exclaimed angrily.

In the distance, among the palace complex, he saw the palaces that had been looted from his own holy land years ago, now openly displayed. How could he not be furious?
Of course, he was not the only one who felt this way, because the palace complex that stretched for thousands of miles was comparable to a great power.

If it weren't for the establishment of the Supreme Holy Land, probably no one else would know that the bandits had hidden so many good things!

The oasis where the Azure Dragon King lived in seclusion has now been renamed the Supreme Holy Land.

Only one hour remains until the grand ceremony marking the founding of the Supreme Holy Land.

The factions that received the invitations have almost all arrived.

Although they were very dissatisfied with Qi Hao and the name of the Supreme Holy Land, and wanted to target these people at this grand ceremony to embarrass them, they did not intend to tamper with these trivial matters. Instead, they planned to make these bandits back down in a fair and square manner.

Those who had a good relationship with the Supreme Holy Land, such as Wang Teng, the God King of the Jiang family, and others with whom they had previously had dealings, were all invited in directly.

From an internal perspective, even the Jiang family's God King nodded in approval, "Indeed, the preparations are quite good. Although some of its resources cannot compare with those of a true holy land, it is already quite substantial and has the appearance of a holy land."

In matters like these, the God-King has always remained neutral, never taking sides or speaking on behalf of either side, and always acting from a neutral perspective.

As the strongest person in the Eastern Wilderness, his every move affects the interests of many people. All he can do is remain neutral and not put too much pressure on irrelevant people because of his strength.

"Hahaha, it has little to do with us, it was all sent by kind people." Qi Hao laughed heartily.

The palace they are currently in bears the mark of the Ji family and contains a portion of the true essence of the void. If a member of the Ji family controls this palace, they can make it disappear into the void at any time.

"Don't say such things once the grand ceremony begins, otherwise it will arouse the hatred of many people," the God King said, reminding Qi Hao.

"It doesn't matter, they're just a bunch of chickens and dogs. If they can actually cause any trouble on this day, that's fine, since they all made boasts before. But if nothing happens on this day, then I'll have to tell you the truth." Qi Hao sneered upon hearing this.

The God King was helpless. That was Qi Hao's personality. Even he couldn't say anything, since he wasn't Qi Hao's elder.

There were actually quite a few people in the palace, including other members of the Jiang family, such as Jiang Yun—a descendant of the lineage of the God King Jiang Taixu.

But when he heard Qi Hao's arrogant words, he couldn't help but grin. Qi Hao's unruly nature was obvious to all, and no one could change that; all they could do was offer their blessings.

May Qi Hao become strong enough, and may he not be beaten to death.

Outside the Supreme Holy Land, the bandits and outlaws who had once fought to the death with the Holy Land were now all smiling, greeting the people of the Holy Land's aristocratic families and inviting everyone to take a seat.

Even when they run into acquaintances, they will greet each other warmly.

"Hey! It's you, Ji Xiaoshui! You've forgotten me? We met back in the Ji family's mining area! You almost slapped me to death! I tore off your arm in one go? Remember me?" A middle-aged bandit exclaimed in surprise, not expecting to run into an old friend here!
"It's you! How come you're still alive?" The Ji family cultivator who was greeted was surprised to find himself encountering an "old acquaintance" here!
Moreover, he felt it was embarrassing to be greeted by such an old acquaintance!
"Hahaha, what are you saying? We just happened to steal some healing treasures from your Ji family's mining area, and then we used them on a whim. That's how we escaped with our lives, isn't it? Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to run into each other here by chance." The middle-aged bandit said with a chuckle.

"Then you're really lucky!" The Ji family cultivator's face turned even uglier.

Of course, this kind of thing doesn't only happen among the Ji family cultivators.

The bandits have been plundering the mining areas with their men for years, and they themselves don't believe that their men don't know any of the members of the Holy Land Family.

They hadn't realized it before, but when they took the initiative to greet these people, they discovered that they actually had such a wide "connection" and knew so many "old acquaintances" from other holy land families!
With so many familiar faces in other holy land families, their supreme holy land is secure!

It seems these old acquaintances aren't too keen on acquainting with them...

No problem!
If they show enough enthusiasm, they will surely be able to warm the hearts of those old acquaintances.

Therefore, these bandits went even further to entertain their old acquaintances!

They would even enthusiastically greet anyone they recognized, regardless of whether the other person was happy or not.

"Look! Our Holy Land is thriving!" the Peacock King exclaimed happily. "Moreover, our Holy Land has connections with all the famous and renowned Holy Land families! Even before its official establishment, its network of relationships is already intricate and complex! We've got this in the bag!"

The Peacock King spoke with great certainty, while the Azure Dragon King beside him indicated that he did not want to speak.

Can't you see the situation now?
Are there any of those holy families with a smiling face?
Soon, the last hour also came to an end.

As a melodious and ancient tune began, the grand ceremony for the founding of the Supreme Holy Land finally commenced.

Some people with keen eyes recognized that the group playing the music was the most renowned orchestra in the entire Northern Region, and that the Supreme Holy Land had actually invited them all.

This group of people is genuinely powerful, which makes them sigh once again that the Supreme Holy Land is truly wealthy and powerful!

As the melancholic music began, a peculiar scene seemed to appear before everyone's eyes.

That was in ancient times, a boundless and wild continent where ferocious beasts roamed, blotting out the sky and the sun. The ancient people lived in the crevices of the mountains, powerless to protect themselves, and could only worship some mountain spirits and monsters as deities, offering sacrifices to them and asking for protection.

However, not all gods wholeheartedly protect and worship their villages. Some so-called gods treat villages as servants and may turn against them at any time.

In this situation, the desolate continent has never been peaceful and harmonious. Even villages protected by gods live in constant fear.

Until the appearance of a mysterious force!

Each generation has only one person, but one person is enough to pacify the world and end all darkness and turmoil!

Amidst the ancient and melancholic melody, a name subconsciously surfaced in everyone's minds—the Supreme Hall!
These four short words perfectly describe that power!
With a soothing melody, Qi Hao, dressed in golden feathered armor and holding a jade token, arrived at the top of the palace complex under everyone's watchful eyes.

This place is thousands of feet high, the closest point to the sky.

"I know that many people are curious about the Supreme Holy Land..." Qi Hao said, his attitude less mischievous and unruly, and more serious.

He was very seriously introducing the name of the Supreme Palace that he had made up.

Although it was made up, it wasn't entirely without clues.

This is a complete history of the Supreme Hall, compiled based on the Supreme Hall in Perfect World, with some additional content. Even if someone tries to find loopholes in Qi Hao's words, they simply won't find them.

"The Supreme Hall still upholds its traditions to this day, and I am its only successor in this generation," Qi Hao said solemnly. "In order to continue protecting the creatures on this land, I have made a decision that goes against the wishes of my ancestors!"

"I have decided! To transform the Supreme Hall into the Supreme Holy Land! Each Supreme Hall Master will serve as the Holy Lord, and the sole successor of each Supreme Hall will be the Holy Son of the Supreme Holy Land! The original members of the Thirteen Great Bandits and some senior members of the Demon Clan will serve as the Supreme Elders of the Supreme Holy Land!"

"If I cannot become the strongest of my generation, I can relinquish the position of Holy Son of the Supreme Holy Land and the position of successor of the Supreme Hall, including all the inheritance of the Supreme Hall!"

"The Supreme Holy Land was newly established and is now accepting many disciples. Anyone who can pass the test can join the Supreme Holy Land!"

Qi Hao spoke, his words resounding and firm.

He looked around. He was less unruly now, but more serious.

He stood atop the altar, like a god, majestic and awe-inspiring, surveying all things under heaven.

Everyone knows that some people will disagree, and after Qi Hao starts speaking, those who disagree will likely jump out.

"Supreme Holy Land? Supreme Palace? It's nothing but a publicity stunt! If such a power truly existed, how could there have been no news of it? How could so many dark upheavals have erupted back then!"

Sure enough, a powerful figure stepped forward.

He didn't even try to hide himself!
He was not a powerful figure from a sacred family, but a powerful rogue cultivator without any family influence. However, he was still very strong, otherwise he would not have stepped forward at this moment.

"Everyone knows about the Dark Turmoil, so who are you a pawn to?" Qi Hao sneered.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll just ask you, where is the Holy Lord of the Supreme Holy Land! Why didn't he dare to show himself on the day the Holy Land was founded! What kind of place is this so-called Supreme Holy Land, a gathering place for demons and monsters!" The powerful figure shouted coldly, his eyes burning.

"You? You dare to even meet my master?" Qi Hao sneered. "Any random member of my Supreme Hall could easily kill you!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a wave of oppressive force suddenly descended!
P.S.: Things are all done, I'll resume frequent updates starting tomorrow.
