Within the Heaven Temple Lower Court, Moon Hall Master Baili Fei rose and left the quiet room. An exquisitely distinctive talisman lit up in his palm, and doors that were ordinarily invisible to the naked eye immediately appeared out of thin air throughout the Heaven Temple Lower Court.
He stepped into the central doorway, and amid shifting radiance, Baili Fei arrived in a vast, empty hall.
The hall was completely bare, save for an incense burner placed atop an altar table.
Baili Fei straightened his clothes and respectfully bowed toward the front of the altar table. Only after completing every rite did he take out a purple signaling incense stick, about a foot long and as thick as a thumb.
However, Baili Fei did not rush to light it. He first drew out a drop of spiritual blood from his heart and dripped it into the purple signaling incense, then kindled a spark of spiritual flame and lit it.
Holding the signaling incense, Baili Fei muttered an incantation and inserted it into the incense burner on the altar table. Then he stood to one side with his hands lowered and his body bent, his expression incomparably respectful.
As the Heaven Temple's spokesman for worldly affairs, Baili Fei could directly contact, at critical moments, three figures from the Heaven Temple's three great sacred lands: the Heavenly Leader of Sun Moon Heaven, the master of Qingli Peak, and the mountain lord of Lightning Prison Mountain.
This was both Baili Fei's authority and a necessity.
However, Moon Hall Master Baili Fei had come from the Moon Hall under Sun Moon Heaven, so he naturally favored and was closer to Sun Moon Heaven's Heavenly Leader.
Whenever something arose, Sun Moon Heaven's Heavenly Leader was naturally the one he contacted.
