Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 276: Heavenly Court Structure, Seven Halls

The mountain peaks towered into the clouds. Before reaching the Heavenly Court's mountain gate, the group had already passed through the cloud layer, which was also the origin of Falling Azure Mountain's name.

At this moment, everyone looked at the magnificent palaces around them, as if they had truly arrived at the residence of immortals.

Du Bu Si sighed inwardly, realizing that his disciple had quietly established such a large enterprise.

In fact, the Body Sect could also achieve this, but the Body Spirit was rare, and the sect was already more than sufficient, so there was no need to expand.

Under Shui Miaoyun's lead, the group quickly arrived at the Central Sacred Hall of the Heavenly Court.

The Sacred Hall was the highest hall of the Heavenly Court, personally managed by Huo Yuhao.

In his plan, anyone in the Heavenly Court who advanced to become a Titled Douluo would be directly brought into the Sacred Hall to cultivate in peace.

They wouldn't have to deal with trivial matters or engage in scheming and petty squabbles.

However, there was currently one elder in the Sacred Hall, namely Xiao Xiao's grandfather, Xiao Qian, the head of the Xiao family, an Soul Douluo at level eighty-seven.

The Sacred Hall not only had elders but also a Hall Guard Corps, with Xiao Qian as the commander.

Several months ago, Huo Yuhao, at Xiao Xiao's invitation, went to the Xiao family to help dissolve Xiao Xiao's engagement and then invited the Xiao family to join the Heavenly Court.

After a period of observation, the Xiao family agreed. However, unlike the Earth Dragon Gate, the Xiao family did not fully join the Heavenly Court. It could be said that they were half in the Heavenly Court and half in the family.

They were completely taking advantage of the Heavenly Court, but Huo Yuhao didn't care as long as they weren't standing against him.

He would turn a blind eye to some minor matters. Besides, the benefits of the Heavenly Court were not so easy to obtain.

If Xiao Qian dared to disobey orders at a crucial moment, he wouldn't hesitate to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

The Sacred Hall had seven halls under its jurisdiction: the Surveillance Hall, the Transmission Hall, the Political Hall, the Soul Guidance Hall, the Introduction Hall, the Commercial Hall, and the Spirit Ascension Hall.

The Surveillance Hall was further divided into the Law Enforcement Hall and the Intelligence Hall, serving as the Heavenly Court's law enforcement agency, mainly to eliminate and clean up corrupt elements within the Heavenly Court.

The Hall Master was Lin Xi. Any force would have parasites, which could never be completely eliminated, but they couldn't be allowed to run rampant and fuel their arrogance.

Moreover, the Heavenly Court was in a stage of rapid growth, and it was inevitable that some mixed characters would enter during this process.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao gave Lin Xi great authority.

It could be said that the Surveillance Hall was above the other six halls, possessing the special privilege of "reporting major matters and making immediate decisions" and therefore had great authority.

The Transmission Hall was responsible for issuing some sect missions, such as searching for certain special items or rare herbs. Shui Miaoyun was in charge of the Transmission Hall, which could be considered her old profession.

The Political Hall had two lists: the Points List and the Exchange List. The Political Hall and the Transmission Hall were closely related.

When sect disciples completed the missions issued by the Transmission Hall, they would receive a certain number of points. These points were equivalent to a currency and were stored on the Points List.

Sect disciples could use these points to purchase the items they wanted from the Exchange List, such as some elixirs, soul guidance devices, and even soul ring enhancement packages.

These items could also be purchased with gold soul coins in the Heavenly Court, but compared to points, that would be an astronomical figure and extremely uneconomical, especially the rewards for increasing the age of soul rings.

The Hall Master of the Political Hall was Shen Yan. Like Shui Miaoyun, this guy was also very experienced in this area.

The Introduction Hall was responsible for the arrangement of new disciples and the daily cultivation guidance, as well as the daily operation of the sect.

However, the Heavenly Court currently did not have any soul guides that could be shown off, so the Hall Master of the Soul Guidance Hall was temporarily represented by a Soul Douluo from the Earth Dragon Gate.

The Hall Master of the Commercial Hall was Zhou Qi, who was mainly responsible for managing the Heavenly Court's finances and external industries, that is, managing the money bag.

The Hall Master of the Spirit Ascension Hall was Xiao Xiao's father, Xiao Luan. The Spirit Ascension Hall was mainly responsible for a certain degree of jurisdiction over the Netherworld, the joining of newcomers, and the distribution of soul ring enhancement packages.

It sounded very tempting, but that was all there was to it. Huo Yuhao had set up a formation in the Spirit Ascension Hall. The key work of enhancing soul rings was still completed by the formation. Xiao Luan simply did not understand the mysteries of it.

The Xiao family had just joined the Heavenly Court, and Huo Yuhao would naturally not tell them such important secrets. Besides, Xiao Luan could not stay in the Spirit Ascension Hall all the time without cultivating.

This was the current structure of the Heavenly Court. Perhaps there were still omissions, and Huo Yuhao would improve it later according to the actual situation.

At the entrance of the Sacred Hall, Huo Yuhao had already come out to greet Du Bu Si after learning of his arrival.

Huo Yuhao and these people naturally didn't have any formalities and directly told them to treat the Heavenly Court as the Body Sect.

Du Bu Si wanted to stroll around the Heavenly Court, and Huo Yuhao naturally accompanied him.

At this time, outside the Sacred Hall, a disciple sang loudly: "The Zhao family of Tiandou City congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening and presents 300,000 gold soul coins and a pair of antique jade bottles."

The Zhao family was a famous noble family in Tiandou City, and its family power was only slightly weaker than Zhou Qi's family.

The head of the Zhao family was a middle-aged man in luxurious purple robes and a plump figure. After reporting the gift list, a disciple immediately led the head of the Zhao family into the Sacred Hall to take a seat.

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening and presents two million gold soul coins and twenty bottles of advanced elixirs."

"Crown Prince Victorious of the Heavenly Soul Empire congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening and presents three million gold soul coins."

"The Xuanming Sect congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening and presents five Xuan Shui Pills and fifteen bottles of Spirit Ascension Pills."

The more everyone listened, the more shocked they became. Even the Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Soul Empire had come.

The opening ceremony of the Heavenly Court was simply unbelievably grand. Even when the emperor changed, there had never been such a big scene.

In front of these people, those nobles and big families didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

However, this was just an appetizer.

"The Hall Master of Mingde Hall congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening and presents an eighth-level soul guidance device."

"The Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire congratulates the Heavenly Court on its grand opening and presents two million gold soul coins, two seventh-level soul guidance devices, and five bottles of advanced elixirs."

When Huo Yuhao arrived at the Sacred Hall, the hall, which was being used as a temporary reception area, was already filled with hundreds of people. However, at this time, the singing and reporting also temporarily stopped, and almost everyone who should have come had arrived.

Huo Yuhao slowly walked into the hall, followed by Xiao Qian, the commander of the Hall Guard Corps, as well as the seven hall masters. All eight Soul Douluos in the Heavenly Court were present.

Seeing this kind of lineup, some people looked solemn. Eight Soul Douluos were already a considerable force that no one could ignore.

Moreover, everyone knew that this was just the beginning, and the Heavenly Court's expansion speed would be unprecedented.
