The dazzling Imperial Court stretched out before Yang Xuan's eyes. The tall buildings that seemed to be made of pure gold and radiated golden rays of light stood like giants on the training ground of the Imperial Court's master.
Zhang Zhongyang's footsteps echoed on the metal-paved passageway. At this moment, Yang Xuan discovered that Zhang Zhongyang's bare feet were actually wearing a pair of tattered cloth shoes.
On both sides of the passageway, there were two Imperial Court Guards standing facing each other at intervals. They coldly stared at them and used their gazes to search them.
Some kind of murderous aura silently spread.
Zhang Zhongyang, who was walking in front, suddenly said, "When you see His Majesty later, don't forget your etiquette."
Yang Xuan didn't say anything.
Zhang Zhongyang continued, "His Majesty is very busy. You have to hurry."
Yang Xuan nodded. "I know."
Zhang Zhongyang turned to look at Yang Xuan and then turned back.
This time, he didn't say anything and just walked forward along the long passageway.
At the end of the passageway was the golden building that Yang Xuan saw on the flying ship.
This time, they didn't enter the Imperial Court through the proper path. Instead, they entered a passageway behind the Imperial Court that led directly to the Imperial Court's master's study.
In front of the building, they were strictly interrogated and questioned. Then, they were brought to an empty room.
"Wait here," Zhang Zhongyang said to Yang Xuan and then left alone.
After waiting for about an hour, two Imperial Court Guards pushed open the door and walked in.
"Li Bai, His Majesty summons you for an audience."
Yang Xuan stood up. For some reason, he felt a little excited.
Traversing billions of galaxies to meet that legendary figure had actually caused slight ripples in his tranquil state of mind.
The two Imperial Court Guards came to a heavily guarded room. Zhang Zhongyang just happened to come out. When he saw Yang Xuan, the corners of his mouth curled up and he gave Yang Xuan a mysterious smile.
Yang Xuan turned a blind eye to it. His attention was completely focused on the person he was about to meet.
Unfortunately, after entering the Imperial Palace, he couldn't send out his spiritual will. Otherwise, he could check it out.
"Your Majesty, Li Bai is here."
One of the guards said respectfully at the door.
"Let him in." A voice that sounded like an endless sea of stars came out from the room. It was incomparably majestic.
For some reason, Yang Xuan suddenly saw a golden river in front of him, a golden river that stretched across millions upon millions of stars.
The door opened, and the illusion disappeared. The imperial guard pushed Yang Xuan, indicating for him to enter.
Yang Xuan shook his head, tossed the strange thought out of his mind, and stepped in.
In the spacious room, the decorations were not luxurious, but there was a sense of majesty everywhere.
On the side of the room, there was a long table filled with all sorts of books. In front of the table was a man in golden robes. He was holding a book with his back facing Yang Xuan.
Just as Yang Xuan was thinking about whether or not to bow, a majestic voice came from the man's mouth.
"You are Li Bai?"
"Yes!" Yang Xuan said.
The man put down the book in his hand and slowly turned around. Then, his gaze landed on Yang Xuan.
The morning dew in the sea of stars and the falling of meteors. This turn of his was like the passage of time.
Yang Xuan's heart trembled. He actually felt like he was as insignificant as a speck of dust.
"You used the Rejuvenation Pill as a bargaining chip and swore to see me. Why?"
His face was extremely majestic, his eyes were like the sea of stars, and his lips were a little thin.
His towering figure was like a towering mountain as he stood there. Just by looking at him slightly, one would feel as if he could destroy the world.
This was the center of the entire human race, the leader of the Imperial Dynasty, the ruler above all people – the Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty.
Logically speaking, all of this fit the image in Yang Xuan's mind of the person who ruled over billions of living beings and stepped on the Imperial Dynasty.
All of this fit the person who used the blade in his hand to become the top person on Martial God Planet and slashed the galaxy.
But for some reason, Yang Xuan had a weird feeling in his heart.
It was an indescribable feeling. It was like … like everything was too perfect and too fitting. It felt unreal.
At that moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Yang Xuan's mind. In the end, they all gathered at one place.
"Your Majesty, my real name is not Li Bai." Yang Xuan looked at the Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty and said each word clearly.
"Oh? Then, what is your name? "The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty was interested.
"I am called Jin Zhan Lao." Yang Xuan stared at the Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty and said each word clearly.
"Good name." The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty smiled, "But you actually dared to use a fake name. Aren't you afraid that I will order people to capture you?"
Yang Xuan used his determination to suppress the shock in his heart. He cupped his fists, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to lie to you."
"If I wanted to, your head would have fallen to the ground." The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty said calmly, "Tell me your goal."
Yang Xuan cupped his fists, "Your Majesty, I heard that you have a pill recipe called the Exquisite Pill. I want to use the Life Returning Pill as an exchange to take a look."
"Oh? Where did you hear that from? "The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty looked at Yang Xuan with interest.
Yang Xuan kept silent and said slowly, "Zhang Zhong Yang told me."
"Hahaha!" The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty suddenly laughed. His voice was so loud that it even spread out of the room.
The door was pushed open and Zhang Zhong Yang walked in with a bitter smile. After staring at Yang Xuan, he cupped his fists, "Your Majesty, I have lost."
The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty seemed to be in a good mood and said, "You have to accept your loss. Remember to bring your white jade chess set over."
Zhang Zhong Yang smiled bitterly, "Of course, I won't go back on my words."
After saying this, he looked at Yang Xuan and said, "I was wrong about you. Now that his majesty is here, what do you want to exchange the Life Returning Pill for?"
Yang Xuan's face was expressionless, "10 billion gold and a land."
"No problem, I even think that you want too little." The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty smiled, "Don't you want more?"
Yang Xuan's gaze flickered, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "There was once a senior known as the Divine Mathematician who told me this: One should not be too greedy, or one will be struck by lightning. I have taken this advice to heart."
The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty smiled, "That is true. Since that is the case, then I will give you 10 billion gold and a land."
Yang Xuan lowered his head and cupped his fists. He said solemnly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Zhang Zhong Yang, do this. This kid is not bad, so try to satisfy his requests." The Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty said to Zhang Zhong Yang.
Zhang Zhong Yang nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't take revenge."
"Haha, it seems like you are unhappy about losing the bet. But don't forget to pass the white jade chess set to me."
"Your Majesty, I will send someone to bring it over." Zhang Zhong Yang smiled bitterly.
At this point, Yang Xuan's trip to the Imperial Dynasty came to an end.
The moment he was about to leave the room, he turned his head and looked at the guy who picked up the scroll.
The guy was reading like a statue.
