Ji Tianxing rode on the little black dragon, flying high in the sky as fast as lightning.
In just ten short days, he left Ruin's End. He crossed the vast East China Sea and hurried back to the Central Plane.
Along the way, he sat on the back of the black dragon as he silently thought about some things.
It had already been over half a year since he and Yun Yao left the Central Plane in search of the Neptunean God Orb.
In that half a year, he and Yun Yao had faced countless dangers. They had almost lost their lives many times.
However, they had made it through and even profited from the disaster. They had obtained many treasures, and their strength had increased drastically.
Now, Yun Yao was still in seclusion in the world within the sword. She was busy refining the Neptunean God Orb.
After all, she was refining the orb by herself. Her experience was still rather shallow, so it would take her a very long time.
However, Ji Tianxing believed that her strength would definitely skyrocket once she refined the orb.
Qian Yue was also in the world within the sword. She had always been cultivating in seclusion.
Ever since she underwent the heavenly tribulation and reached Soul Refinement, the innate talent and potential of the Heavenly Fox bloodline had been completely unleashed.
The progress of its strength could be said to be changing with each passing day, rising with the tide, so fast that it made people speechless.
Yun Yao, the little black dragon, and Qian Yue were all rapidly becoming stronger.
To Ji Tianxing, this was something worth rejoicing over. He also felt happy for them.
However, he remained calm along the way. His heart was filled with worry.
He very much wanted to know how the situation of the continent had been in the half a year he had been away.
What new developments and news had there been in the war between the three races and the Demon army?
Had the evil and powerful Blood God massacred hundreds of millions of people of various races?
Ji Tianxing was worried about the situation of the continent, so he got the little black dragon to hurry back as quickly as possible.
A month later, the little black dragon crossed half of the East China Sea and returned to the Profound Sky Continent.
When he passed by the cities along the coast, Ji Tianxing paid special attention to the situation of the cities.
He looked down from the sky and saw that the cities along the coast had recovered their peace. Most of the reconstruction had been completed as well.
Without the Blood God and the Demon army causing trouble, the commoners had already recovered their peace. They had rebuilt their homes and lived prosperous lives.
When he saw this scene, Ji Tianxing felt much more at ease. He didn't stop and continued to rush back to the Central Continent.
He did not forget that when he was ambushed by Murong Zheng, the Imperial Tutor had personally come to stop him.
Afterwards, the Imperial Tutor solemnly reminded him that he had to make a trip to the Imperial Court after returning to Zhongzhou.
The Emperor summoned him and wanted to discuss matters with him face to face.
Ji Tianxing had always kept this matter at the bottom of his heart, silently guessing the Emperor's intentions. Why did he summon him alone?
What was it that the Celestial Emperor had to talk to him face to face?
He remembered clearly that the last time he had seen the Emperor Emperor was when he had been conferred the title of Heavenly Stellar Region Lord.
Other than this kind of major event, he usually did not interact with the Emperor.
"For the Emperor to have the Imperial Tutor deliver a message personally, this matter is definitely not a small one. It's definitely an important one.
But there aren't many things between the Emperor and I. Perhaps it has something to do with the Son of Heaven, Long Yunxiao, Kenshin, or … the Demon Race?
Could it be that the Emperor has summoned me back to the Imperial Court to have me lead an army to the northern border to resist the invasion of the Demon Race? "
Ji Tianxing secretly speculated for a long time. He felt that all of these guesses were possible, but he could not be sure what this matter was.
… …
One month later, Ji Tianxing returned to the Central Continent.
On this evening, the setting sun illuminated half the sky with its golden afterglow.
Ji Tianxing rode the Black Dragon to the Heavenly Mountain Range where the Imperial Court was located.
The most majestic peak in the mountain range was Heaven Connecting Peak. Half of it was obscured by the setting sun while the other half was obscured by white clouds.
The palaces and buildings on the summit were faintly discernible in the clouds, and they were even covered in a layer of divine golden light.
Ji Tianxing returned the Black Dragon to the Sword World and landed alone halfway up the mountain.
After more than two years, he had once more come to the Imperial Court of the Human race.
Even though he was now very strong and his horizons were much broader than before, he still maintained a reverence for the majestic aura of the Imperial Court.
He showed the Region Lord's golden seal to the guards before being allowed to enter the Imperial Court.
Then, he followed the wide and straight Divine Path all the way to the summit.
Not long after, he arrived at the summit and explained his purpose to the guards guarding the Imperial Court.
The guard commander did not dare to delay. He hurriedly led him across the square and into the Palace of Heaven and Earth.
The sacred and dignified Palace of Heaven and Earth was full of hidden sentries. The defense was very tight.
The guard commander led Ji Tianxing to the Imperial Emperor's imperial study. He bowed and took his leave.
Ji Tianxing tidied up his appearance before reporting in a loud voice, "Region Lord Ji Tianxing of Tianchen has an audience with His Majesty the Imperial Emperor!"
In the spacious, bright, exquisite, and elegant study.
A wisp of sunset passed through the window and shone on the jade floor, bringing a trace of warmth to the solemn and dignified study.
There were several thick piles of memorials and official documents on the large purple jade table with dragon patterns.
A simple and mysterious bronze incense burner was emitting green smoke in spirals. It emitted the fragrance of purple wood and jade sandalwood, making one's soul feel refreshed.
The Imperial Emperor, who was wearing a golden dragon robe and a purple gold dragon jade crown, was sitting in front of the purple jade table. He was holding a memorial in his hand and frowning in deep thought.
His body was tall and his appearance was dignified. Between his brows, there was a righteous aura that could accommodate heaven and earth.
Suddenly, he heard a voice outside the study. His thoughts were immediately interrupted and he put down the memorial in his hand.
"Ji Tianxing? Why did this brat take so long to come back? "
The Imperial Emperor muttered in a low voice. He frowned slightly and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
But his brows quickly relaxed and his expression returned to normal. He said in a low and dignified voice, "Come in."
Ji Tianxing, who was waiting outside, heard the Imperial Emperor's voice and pushed the door open to enter.
He walked to the middle of the study and stood still. He bowed solemnly and paid his respects to the Imperial Emperor.
"Subordinate Ji Tianxing pays his respects to the Imperial Emperor!"
The Imperial Emperor did not answer immediately. He looked at him calmly and sized him up with a deep gaze.
In just a moment, the Imperial Emperor saw the changes in him. He was completely different from two years ago.
Not only was his aura stronger, but he also had the confidence and dominance of an expert. There was also a vast and mysterious aura.
Moreover, the Imperial Emperor could clearly see that his strength had reached the seventh level of the Spirit Refinement realm. His Dharmic powers and Divine Spirit aura were comparable to a half-step Essence Soul realm cultivator!
The Imperial Emperor was used to seeing great storms in his life. His temperament was like a deep well, calm and unperturbed.
But now that he saw such a huge change in Ji Tianxing, his eyes widened. His eyes shone brightly and his face was filled with surprise.
"You brat … No wonder you delayed for so long before coming back to the Imperial Court to meet me.
Tell me honestly, did you have a fortuitous encounter? If not, how could your strength improve by leaps and bounds and reach such a terrifying level? "
At this moment, not only was the Imperial Emperor shocked, but his tone was also not as dignified as before.
