Chapter 780: Prodigy
Li Pin followed Mo Xuan to what was nominally regarded as the political center of the human race in the Astral World, the Myriad Astral God Hall.
The Hall itself was a massive complex of palaces, suspended high in the skies. In theory, such a location would be a natural target for the Eternal Oblivion Force.
Fortunately, Transcendent Jun Tian of the Supreme Council had personally laid down an immense formation that sealed off the entire palace complex. Thanks to this, the Hall gained a remarkable ability: it could resist both the detection and influence of the Eternal Oblivion Force.
The protection range was limited, but it was enough to earn the Hall its prestigious status among all of humanity. Countless Astral Gods competed fiercely for the chance to be stationed there.
After all, the moment a person entered the Myriad Astral God Hall, whether as a divine soldier or general, they would be shielded from the Eternal Oblivion Force. It meant a peaceful life, and for many, essentially immortality.
Because of this, the Hall had become a hotspot where powerful figures arranged for their relatives and close associates to reside as divine soldiers and generals.
Out of a hundred thousand divine troops, fewer than a thousand actually held real combat capability. The rest, nearly ninety-nine thousand, spent their days in leisure, enjoying an eternal life free from worry.
This was also why, whenever the Myriad Astral God Hall dispatched its hundred thousand-strong army to capture a major human criminal, the mission often ended in utter failure.
The most well-known case was that of Shana Divine Mountain.
Its founders included only a single Sacred Monarch and a few Tyrants. It was hardly a match for the Myriad Astral God Hall, which boasted over a dozen Heavenly Emperors.
Yet to this day, Shana Divine Mountain remained alive and well, surviving all of the Hall's pursuits.
That said, the Myriad Astral God Hall undeniably held a position above all others. Cloaked in Transcendent power that shielded it from the Eternal Oblivion Force, the entire court radiated peace and harmony. And in a place free of worry, people naturally turned their attention to entertainment, leisure, and the arts.
