Chapter 278 - The Structure of the Heavenly Court: The Seven Halls

The mountain peak rose high into the clouds. Before reaching the gates of the Heavenly Court, the group had already ascended above the mist. That was where the name Falling Azure Mountain came from—its summit literally touched the heavens.

At this moment, as everyone looked around at the towering and magnificent palaces surrounding them, they couldn't help but feel as if they had truly stepped into the abode of gods.

Po Bu Si (Poison Undying) sighed inwardly. His disciple had been quietly working all this time, and without him even noticing, the kid had built an empire of this scale.

In truth, the Body Sect could've accomplished something similar—but Body Spirits were too rare. The sect's current size was already more than enough to sustain itself. There was never a need to expand like this.

Under Shui Miaoyun's guidance, they soon arrived at the Central Sacred Hall of the Heavenly Court.

The Sacred Hall was the highest and most prestigious hall of the entire organization, personally governed by Huo Yuhao himself.

According to his long-term plan, anyone in the Heavenly Court who reached the Title Douluo level would be directly invited into the Sacred Hall, where they could focus purely on cultivation—no management duties, no petty schemes, and no pointless infighting.

At present, however, the Sacred Hall had only one elder—Xiao Xiao's grandfather, the patriarch of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Qian, an eighty-seventh-level Soul Douluo.

The Sacred Hall didn't just house elders; it also had a Guardian Division, with Xiao Qian serving as its commander.

A few months earlier, at Xiao Xiao's request, Huo Yuhao had personally visited the Xiao Clan to dissolve her engagement. After that, he invited the Xiao Clan to join the Heavenly Court.

The Xiao Clan took their time to observe before eventually agreeing. But unlike the Dilong Sect, the Xiao Clan did not fully merge with the Heavenly Court—they kept one foot in and one foot out.

In essence, they were here to reap benefits without full allegiance.

Huo Yuhao didn't mind. As long as they didn't stand against him, he could tolerate such behavior.

He simply turned a blind eye to minor matters. After all, the Heavenly Court's benefits weren't something easy to take advantage of.

If, at a critical moment, Xiao Qian dared to disobey orders, Huo Yuhao wouldn't hesitate to kill one as a warning to the rest.

Below the Sacred Hall were seven subordinate halls: the Hall of Supervision, the Hall of Missions, the Hall of Administration, the Hall of Soul Tools, the Hall of Initiation, the Hall of Commerce, and the Hall of Ascension.

The Hall of Supervision was divided into the Law Enforcement Division and the Intelligence Division. It acted as the Heavenly Court's disciplinary body—responsible for rooting out corruption and internal decay.

Its Hall Master was Lin Xi.

Every organization, no matter how righteous, would inevitably breed parasites. They could never be wiped out entirely—but neither could they be allowed to roam free and unchecked.

And since the Heavenly Court was expanding rapidly, many new recruits of questionable character were bound to slip through.

For that reason, Huo Yuhao granted Lin Xi immense authority.

It could be said that the Hall of Supervision stood above the other six halls, possessing the privilege of "reporting major issues directly, and deciding minor ones independently."

Its power was enormous.

The Hall of Missions was responsible for issuing sect tasks—such as finding rare materials, herbs, and other special resources. Shui Miaoyun oversaw this hall, which fit her expertise perfectly.

The Hall of Administration maintained two public lists: the Merit List and the Exchange List. It worked closely with the Hall of Missions.

When a disciple completed a mission, they would receive a certain number of merit points, which acted as a kind of currency. These points were tracked on the Merit List.

Disciples could then use their points to purchase items from the Exchange List—such as pills, soul tools, and even Soul Ring Enhancement Packs.

Though all of these items could also be purchased with gold soul coins, the cost was astronomical—far less efficient than earning points, especially for the ring-enhancement rewards.

The Hall Master of Administration was Shen Yan, who, like Shui Miaoyun, was exceptionally experienced in management and logistics.

The Hall of Initiation was tasked with arranging accommodations and training for new disciples, as well as handling the day-to-day operations of the sect.

Its Hall Master was Nan Shuishui—yes, the same Nan Shuishui. The day after the Tianhun Auction ended, she had led the entire Dilong Sect to join the Heavenly Court.

The Hall of Soul Tools was, as its name suggested, responsible for soul tool research.

Although Huo Yuhao himself had never formally studied soul engineering, that didn't mean he underestimated its value. He simply didn't have the time to do everything himself.

After all, during the Dou Si era, the people of Douluo Star had relied on soul tools to explore star systems and colonize the cosmos.

However, the Heavenly Court currently lacked any truly outstanding soul engineers. For now, the Hall of Soul Tools was temporarily headed by a Soul Douluo from the Dilong Sect as acting master.

The Hall of Commerce, led by Zhou Qi, managed the Heavenly Court's finances and external enterprises—in short, he was the one holding the purse strings.

Finally, the Hall of Ascension, overseen by Xiao Luan—Xiao Xiao's father—was responsible for overseeing parts of the Ming Realm, welcoming new members, and distributing the Soul Ring Enhancement Packs.

It sounded impressive, but in truth, it wasn't all that mysterious. The real secret behind the ring-enhancement lay in the formation Huo Yuhao had inscribed within the hall itself.

Xiao Luan didn't understand the array's mechanisms at all.

Since the Xiao Clan had only recently joined, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't hand over such a crucial secret. And besides, Xiao Luan couldn't spend all his time sitting in the Ascension Hall—he had his own cultivation to focus on.

This was the current structure of the Heavenly Court. It might still have gaps or inefficiencies, but Huo Yuhao planned to refine and expand it as time went on.

Outside the Sacred Hall, upon hearing that Poison Undying had arrived, Huo Yuhao personally came out to greet him.

There were no polite formalities between them—Huo Yuhao simply said, "Think of the Heavenly Court as the Body Sect from now on."

When Poison Undying expressed his desire to tour the Heavenly Court, Huo Yuhao naturally accompanied him.

Just then, a disciple's voice rang out from outside the hall:

"The Zhao Clan of Heaven Dou City congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening! We offer three hundred thousand gold soul coins and a pair of antique jade vases!"

The Zhao Clan was one of the most prestigious noble families in Heaven Dou City—second only to the Zhou Clan in influence.

The clan head, a rotund middle-aged man in a luxurious purple robe, was led inside to take a seat after the offering was reported.

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening! We offer two million gold soul coins and twenty bottles of high-grade elixirs!"

"Crown Prince Vidos of the Tianhun Empire congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening! We offer three million gold soul coins!"

"The Xuanming Sect congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening! We offer five Xuanwater Pills and fifteen bottles of Ascension Elixirs!"

The crowd grew increasingly shocked. Even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's master and the Crown Prince of the Tianhun Empire had personally sent gifts!

The scale of this ceremony was beyond comprehension—grand enough to put an imperial coronation to shame.

Before these great powers, all the nobles and families present barely dared to breathe.

And yet, this was only the beginning.

"Hall Master Mingde of the Mingde Hall congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening! We offer one eighth-tier soul tool!"

"Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening! We offer two million gold soul coins, two seventh-tier soul tools, and five bottles of high-grade elixirs!"

By the time Huo Yuhao stepped into the Sacred Hall, which had been temporarily turned into a reception area, over a hundred guests were already seated inside. The announcer's voice had finally gone quiet—everyone who needed to come had already arrived.

Huo Yuhao entered with steady steps, followed by Xiao Qian, the commander of the Guardian Division, and the seven Hall Masters.

All eight Soul Douluo-level experts of the Heavenly Court were present.

Seeing such a display, many guests' expressions turned solemn.

Eight Soul Douluo—already a formidable power that no faction could afford to ignore.

And everyone knew this was only the beginning.

The Heavenly Court's rise… had only just begun.
