Several days later, a figure clad in a dark gold robe quietly descended upon the Holy City.
Saint Master Shen Chong had been waiting outside the Holy Palace early on.
"Greetings to the Guardian!" Shen Chong bowed deeply, his expression one of excitement.
He had served as the Holy Master of the Heavenly Origin Continent for over a thousand years. This was only the second time he had met the Guardian.
The first time he saw the Guardian was when he had just taken over the position of Holy Master.
The control of the Holy Palace needed to be personally transferred by the Guardian. The Holy Palace, this Holy Artifact, was actually brought forth by the Guardian. The purpose, of course, was to ensure that the Holy Master would not let the various forces of the continent overthrow him.
Whenever a Holy Master's lifespan neared its end, they had to hand back the control of the Holy Palace.
