When night fell, Ji Tianxing and Ling Yi climbed to the peak of the mountain.
On the ten-thousand-meter-high peak, the wind was biting cold, and the clouds were surging.
Several magnificent palaces stood on the peak of the mountain, as if they had existed since ancient times, exuding a majestic and solemn aura.
Three palaces, nine halls, and eighteen courtyards formed the holy land of the human race — the imperial court!
These palaces and courtyards were very vast and luxurious, not like the residences of humans, but more like the palaces of the gods in heaven.
Ji Tianxing stood on the vast square in front of the palace, staring at the Palace of Heaven and Earth across the square, and felt the sacred aura coming from it.
He observed silently for a while, and could vaguely see that the palaces and courtyards in the imperial court were arranged in a special pattern and position.
It contained the changes and mysteries of heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars.
The entire imperial court sat on Heaven Reaching Peak, with the domineering aura of an emperor looking down on heaven and earth, and the majesty of a god looking down on all living things!
Even in the dark night, the entire imperial court flashed with golden light, as dazzling as the sun.
On the huge square in front of the palace, there were rows of imperial court guards in silver armor standing around.
Many luxuriously dressed and dignified human experts and powerhouses were walking through the square in groups, toward the side palace of the Palace of Heaven and Earth.
All the guests who had received the invitation and came to watch the ceremony were gathered in the side palace, and there were bursts of laughter and cheers.
Ji Tianxing and Ling Yi followed the guests who had just climbed to the peak, and walked to the side palace at a moderate pace.
When the two entered the side palace, they saw that there were hundreds of guests gathered in the brightly lit main hall.
These dignified and powerful guests were all powerhouses or leaders of the human race's major forces.
Everyone was holding wine cups, and gathered in groups of three to five, either exchanging greetings or chatting enthusiastically.
The long tables around the hall were piled high with fine wine and delicacies for the guests to take as they pleased.
The air was filled with the fragrance of food, spirit fruits, and wine.
To the powerhouses of the human race, it was an extremely honorable thing to be able to come to the imperial court to watch the ceremony.
Not only would they be able to broaden their horizons, but they would also be able to interact and get to know many other experts of the same path.
Therefore, many of the guests cherished this rare opportunity and went around chatting with others.
When Ji Tianxing and Ling Yi Chong walked into the main hall, many guests noticed them and turned their heads to look at them in surprise.
It wasn't strange that a large number of Sky Origin Stage cultivators had gathered in the Imperial Court tonight.
However, it was rare to see two Sky Origin Stage cultivators as young as them.
Moreover, both of them had dignified appearances, and their auras were noble and dignified. With a single glance, one could tell that they were genius experts from top forces.
Instantly, many people guessed their identities. Their expressions changed slightly, revealing looks of awe and envy.
An Imperial Guard Captain in golden armor quickly walked in front of the two of them.
The Guard Captain bowed to the two of them and asked respectfully, "May I ask if the two of you are from the Imperial Residence?"
"That's right!"
"Yes!"
Ji Tianxing and Ling Yi Chong both nodded in acknowledgment.
The Guard Captain hurriedly pointed to the stairs on the left side of the main hall and said respectfully, "His Majesty the Emperor has instructed to invite the two Princes to rest on the second floor."
Ji Tianxing and Ling Yi Chong passed through the spacious main hall and walked towards the stairs.
Many people in the main hall saw this scene and looked at the two of them with complicated eyes and expressions. They began to discuss in low voices.
"The guests who are qualified to go to the second floor seem to be the Princes of the Imperial Residence, right?"
"I guessed right. Those two are indeed the Princes. No wonder their auras are so extraordinary!"
"More than a dozen Princes went upstairs earlier. Now that two more have come, almost all the Princes of the human race are here, right?"
"To be able to see so many Princes in this trip to the imperial court to watch the ceremony, this trip is really worth it!"
Many human powerhouses looked at Ji Tianxing and Ling Yi Chong with eyes full of envy and admiration. Their voices were also somewhat excited and emotional.
After a while, Ji Tianxing and Ling Yi Chong went up to the second floor and entered a brightly lit but quiet and elegant living room.
This living room was much smaller than the main hall on the first floor, but the decorations were more exquisite and luxurious. Obviously, it was used to entertain truly important guests.
In the middle of the main hall, there was a huge table that was 20 meters long and more than three meters wide. On top of it were delicacies and fine wine.
More than a dozen human Princes were gathered in groups of three to five. They held wine glasses in their hands and whispered to each other about something.
Unlike the guests in the main hall on the first floor, these Princes were arrogant, confident, and reserved.
Even if they were gathered together with people who were familiar with each other, they would not talk loudly or laugh.
The Princes' words and actions were full of noble demeanor.
When Ji Tianxing and Ling Yi Chong entered the living room, more than a dozen Princes turned their heads to look at the two of them.
Some of the Princes who knew them nodded slightly to greet the two of them.
As for the Princes who were not familiar with them, they glanced at the two of them indifferently before looking away and no longer paying attention to them.
Ji Tianxing did not care about the Princes' gazes. He picked up a glass of spirit wine from the table and walked to the window.
Ling Yi Chong followed him. The two of them stood by the window with wine glasses in their hands. They enjoyed the cool night breeze and admired the night view outside the window while talking to each other softly.
At this moment, Ji Tianxing saw that two Princes were already standing by the two windows not far away.
The two of them did not belong to the same group. While they were drinking alone, they were also silently looking at the night sky and sea of clouds outside the window.
Ji Tianxing took a closer look and realized that the two Princes were not humans.
The Prince on the left was from the Demon Clan. She was a Princess with a slim figure and a seductive temperament.
The Prince on the right was from the Water Clan. He was a young man who wore a purple robe and was as tall and sturdy as an iron tower.
This person's face was resolute and powerful, and he had a valiant temperament. A golden dragon horn protruded from his forehead, and his exposed skin was also covered in fine scales.
Ji Tianxing was not unfamiliar with the two Princes. He still had some impressions of them.
He knew that the seductive Princess of the Demon Clan was called Fox Princess. She was the third Princess of the Monarch Residence.
The burly Water Prince with a horn on his forehead was the first Prince of the Monarch Residence, Tai Yi.
When Ji Tianxing took the risk to sneak into the Monarch Residence, he happened to see Divine Master Black Feather and many other Princes having a meeting.
During the meeting, both Fox Princess and Taiyi spoke up. They had different opinions and argued for a while.
At this moment, Ling Yi Chong saw that he was secretly sizing up Fox Princess and Tai Yi. He used his spiritual sense to explain, "Junior Martial Brother Ji, these two Princes are Fox Princess of the Demon Clan and Tai Yi of the Water Clan.
The Emperor's concubine selection has attracted the attention of all races in the world.
Not only have the Princes of the Human Clan been invited, but the Demon Clan and the Water Clan will also send a Prince as a representative to attend the ceremony.
