When Ji Tianxing saw the Emperor's reaction, he wanted to laugh in his heart and felt a trace of pride.
"The Emperor who has always been aloof and incomparably dignified would actually lose his composure like this …"
However, he knew that he couldn't hide his changes from the Emperor, so he answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, to be honest, you are right."
When the Emperor saw his respectful attitude without a trace of resentment, he revealed a satisfied smile.
"En, since that's the case, then this Emperor won't pursue your crime of being late for a few months. You may rise!"
Ji Tianxing then stood up and looked at the Emperor with a calm expression. He asked in a solemn tone: "May I ask what orders does the Emperor have for this subordinate to be summoned back?"
The Emperor muttered to himself for a while before recovering his dignified and dignified face. He asked in a deep voice: "Ji Tianxing, let's not talk about this matter for now. This Emperor has something to ask you. You must answer truthfully."
"Please enlighten me, Emperor." Ji Tianxing cupped his hands and bowed. He listened with a calm expression.
The Monarch stroked his beard and asked in a low voice, "You have a deep grudge with the Murong family. Murong Zheng tried to kill you on the way and you were about to kill him to avenge yourself.
However, this Emperor sent the Imperial Tutor to stop you and prevent you from taking revenge. Have you ever resented this Emperor in your heart? "
Ji Tianxing was startled. He never thought that the Emperor would ask him this question.
"Could it be that the Emperor sensed my dissatisfaction and was afraid that I would be disloyal, so he tested me in person?"
This thought flashed through his mind and he immediately became alert. He quickly answered: "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of my clan, the leader of millions of people.
This subordinate is your subject. Of course, I have to follow your orders. How could I dare to complain? "
However, the Emperor didn't listen to his dignified words. He stared at him with a sharp gaze and asked: "You don't dare, or you don't?"
After saying that, he added another sentence: "Think carefully before you answer. This Emperor wants to hear the truth! If you have half a lie, you won't be able to hide it from this Emperor! "
Ji Tianxing was even more confused. He did not know what the Emperor's intentions were.
However, he could sense that the Monarch's soul energy was enveloping him, as if he could see through his heart.
He knew that he couldn't hide it from the Emperor, so he didn't try to explain himself and answered truthfully, "Reporting to the Emperor, this subordinate did have some complaints at first and was very unwilling.
However, after the Imperial Tutor explained to this subordinate, this subordinate understood your difficulties and intentions. Naturally, the resentment in my heart dissipated.
Even when this subordinate caused a huge disturbance in the Central State, you didn't pursue the matter. Even if it caused the people to criticize me, you still wanted to protect this subordinate.
After careful consideration, I understand that you naturally have your reasons and arrangements for doing so. "
The Imperial Emperor had been silent all this time. He stared at him, observing the changes in his expression and the fluctuations of his Divine Soul.
After he finished speaking, the Emperor concluded that he was not lying. Only then did his expression soften.
"That's right. Tianxing, it's naturally for the best that you can understand this Emperor's intentions.
Now, there's only you and this Emperor in this study. Since you can tell this Emperor the truth, it proves that this Emperor can still trust you and can still entrust you with important tasks! "
When Ji Tianxing heard this, he knew that the Emperor was just throwing a brick to attract jade. The main topic was about to come.
He cupped his hands and took the initiative to say, "As the Tianchen Region Lord, this subordinate should serve the people. If the Emperor has any important tasks, please tell me. This subordinate will go through water and tread on fire without hesitation."
The Emperor glanced at him and said with a playful tone, "Don't be so full of yourself! If this Emperor gives you an important task now and asks you to go to the Northern Border alone to kill thousands of demons and protect the peace of our people, would you still dare to agree? "
Ji Tianxing slowly raised his head and looked directly at the Emperor. His gaze was firm and unyielding. His voice was sonorous as he said a word.
"I dare!"
The Emperor was stunned for a moment. Then, he raised his eyebrows and revealed a playful smile, "You brat, I'm afraid you've had an amazing adventure. You're so confident and ambitious!"
Ji Tianxing shook his head and said in a serious tone, "Your Highness, this has nothing to do with the adventure I've had. Even without your order, I will go to the battlefield and kill the demons!
I'm not a saint, nor am I the ruler of a clan. I don't dare to dream of saving hundreds of millions of people.
But this subordinate has a blood feud with the demons. I will never let them go! "
The Emperor looked at him deeply and nodded solemnly, saying, "Good! Very good! Tianxing, I'm very pleased that you're so determined!
However, the important task I'm going to give you today is not for you to go to the battlefield to kill the demons.
You're the number one genius of our clan, the most powerful person in the past thousand years. It's a waste to let you go to the battlefield to fight. "
Ji Tianxing's expression changed. He frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask what you want me to do, Emperor?"
"Go to a place and get an item." The Emperor showed a serious and solemn expression and said in a vigorous tone, "A clan protection divine weapon!"
"Get a clan protection divine weapon?" Ji Tianxing was even more confused. He said in disbelief, "What clan protection divine weapon? How do I get it? "
The Emperor raised his hand and signaled him not to be anxious. He said in a neither fast nor slow tone, "Regarding this matter, I'll first tell you a story from the past.
Ten thousand years ago, in the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range in the south, there was an earth-shattering volcanic eruption. Endless fire covered tens of thousands of miles and dyed half the sky red.
The tens of thousands of mountains in the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range turned into a sea of fire and scorched earth. Hundreds of thousands of people died because of this.
Our clan's imperial court sent elite experts to the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range to investigate the situation. After half a year, they finally found the shocking secret hidden in the depths of the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range.
But after those experts entered the depths of the ground, none of them survived. They all died.
This matter shocked the imperial court. The current Emperor brought the empress and personally went to the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range to investigate the reason.
In the end, the Emperor brought back a top Primordial Soul-level Dharma treasure from the depths of the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range.
This item came from the ancient times and was refined by an ancient almighty. It has the power to burn the world. It's called the Celestial God-Fire Cauldron! "
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing vaguely understood the Emperor's meaning. He was instantly filled with curiosity and anticipation for the Celestial God-Fire Cauldron.
He didn't interrupt the Emperor and continued to listen carefully.
"This cauldron can be called a peerless divine weapon. It's hidden in the depths of the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range. Because of its age, the power imbalance caused the volcano to erupt.
In order to obtain that divine weapon, the empress was severely injured. After returning to the imperial court, she died in less than a hundred years.
The Emperor spent decades of effort and used up all the imperial court's wealth to repair the Celestial God-Fire Cauldron and take it for his own use.
However, the Celestial God-Fire Cauldron is too powerful and can't be stored in the imperial court for a long time. It must be nurtured in the dragon vein of the Vermillion Bird Mountain Range.
