The Palace of the Polestar of the Heavenly Emperor paled in comparison to the grand and solemn structure of the Temple of the Venerables, which, although less adorned with gold lacquer and colorful decorations, used more jade and azure tiles and was garnished with vermilion paint. Hence, despite its beauty, the Temple of the Venerables felt more sacred and solemn than the Palace of the Polestar.
The architectural delicacy here was unmatched, filled with suspended walkways and stacked pavilions harmoniously arranged. Columns, painted in golden vermilion, were carved with patterns of auspicious clouds, giving an impression of floating pavilions and flowing elegance, both intricate and luxurious. Truly, it was a work of divine craftsmanship and regal opulence.
When Lin Suqing saw the three esteemed Venerables sitting levelly at the top of the hall, he was stunned—he had seen these three before.
