The banquet was being held in the plaza before Monarch Hall.
All aircraft had to dock at a designated port, after which Gu Ding and the others followed Hademan and Barien onto a Suspension Train.
"Flying and spatial jumps are prohibited within Monarch Hall," Barien transmitted to Gu Ding and his group.
Gu Ding nodded, then looked up at the sky.
Though it was invisible to the naked eye, Gu Ding could vaguely sense a terrifying aura washing through the Sky Dome.
There should have been countless Order God Chains darting and wandering about up there.
Noticing Gu Ding's gaze, Hademan asked with slight surprise, "Young friend Gu Ding, can you see the Order God Chains above the Sky Dome?"
"I can't see them, but I can sense powerful forces moving around," Gu Ding said with a smile, shaking his head.
"I see."
Though Hademan maintained a faint smile, a trace of surprise still flashed through his eyes.
Barien wore a similar expression.
"I can sense them too. There are many streams of power, hundreds at least. They move around like living creatures, as though they're protecting the entire planet," Elsa said, nodding.
"Why can't I sense anything at all?"
Liliath looked strangely at the sky. She had long since become a Saint Lord Level powerhouse. Not only was her Pupil Power astonishing, but her soul perception also far surpassed that of ordinary Saint Lord Level powerhouses. Yet she had sensed nothing unusual.
"Same here." Bigge also wore a puzzled expression.
Barien and Hademan merely smiled without saying anything further.
"By the way, why didn't you awaken those sealed prodigies this time?" After a moment of silence, Hademan secretly transmitted to Barien.
"With a team like Gu Ding's here, do you think the others would have any chance of competing?
