Singing Praises and Extolling Virtues

Human Way Heavenly Court, Heaven-Facing Hall.

A sliver of Liang Zhaohuang's consciousness descended into the Heaven-Facing Hall through the guidance of New Sea Commandery's Commandery Governor's Official Seal, manifesting in human form.

This was different from the Hundred Treasures Hall where the Hundred Treasures Pavilion alliance held its meetings.

Within the Hundred Treasures Hall, the projected forms of pavilion masters such as Liang Zhaohuang could move about freely. Their subsequent trade discussions and networking all required them to mingle with one another.

But the Heaven-Facing Hall was different.

Here, every official used their own official seal to guide their projected consciousness into the Heaven-Facing Hall, and their positions were fixed the moment they arrived.

For instance, Liang Zhaohuang was the Commandery Governor of New Sea Commandery. His place in the Heaven-Facing Hall was among the governors of Ying Province's other seven commanderies, standing behind the projection of Ying Province's Prefect, Xie Benqing.

Moreover, once their positions were set, they could no longer move freely within the Heaven-Facing Hall.

The entire Heaven-Facing Hall was solemn and austere. Whispering among themselves was strictly forbidden, much less walking around or conversing with each other.

Ying Province was a newly established province of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty. Whether in strength or status, it ranked near the bottom among the Great Jin's twenty provinces.

Thus, Prefect Xie and the eight commandery governors under his lead, including Liang Zhaohuang, stood toward the rear of the Heaven-Facing Hall.

Raising his eyes, Liang Zhaohuang saw the prefects of the Immortal Dynasty's various provinces leading their commandery governors before him. There were more than two hundred of them, too many for him to take in at a glance.

And ahead of these provincial and commandery officials stood the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Dynasty's central departments, along with
