Xiao Li delivered a speech at the Hundred Flowers Gathering, thanking the elders and villagers, the Great Yu Emperor, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and Ice Cube.
It was all memories of watching galas in his previous life, devoid of emotion.
After the last few sentences were spoken,
the jiangshan sheji map in the sky emitted a brilliant light, staining the layers of clouds, revealing the turbulent winds and rising clouds within, seemingly brewing something.
"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are peaceful and prosperous, all because of young talents like you. My heart is greatly comforted."
Jingtai Emperor personally ascended the stage, his tone indicating that the Emperor was greatly pleased.
Li Mo hadn't expected Jingtai Emperor to personally step onto the stage to commend him.
"Come, present the honor to Li Shaoxia."
With a flick of His Majesty's sleeve, Sky Patrol Guard brought up a tray.
When the red cloth was lifted, inside was a gold-inlaid jade plaque, with the words 'Hundred Flowers' intricately carved in iron script and silver hook, but judging by the material... it shouldn't be pure gold?
Its symbolic meaning should be equivalent to a silk banner from his previous life... Li Mo was about to reach for it, but Jingtai Emperor reached out first, personally handing the gold plaque into his hand.
He then gave a look to the eunuch beside him, who understood and immediately spoke with a smile:
"Li Shaoxia, this is a great honor bestowed by His Majesty. You must carry it with you from now on. If it is lost, it would be a Failure to God's grace ."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Mo didn't see anything special about the plaque, but he couldn't possibly disrespect the Emperor, so he tucked the gold plaque into his embrace.
"The Heavenly Human City realm is about to open, Li Shaoxia."
Jingtai Emperor looked at him with a smile.
Li Mo was stunned.
He knew that, did he really need His Majesty to remind him personally?
But His Majesty was clearly not reminding him of the Heavenly Human City's opening date, but rather asking him for something.
The Celestial Human Divine Sword.
Well, so the gold plaque was used to shut him up and get the God Sword back.
"Since that is the case, the God Sword should also return to the Heavenly Human City. A gentleman does not take what belongs to others; there should be a return for what is borrowed."
Li Mo nodded and took off the Celestial Human Divine Sword hanging from his waist.
The Purple-Robed Eunuch smiled. This Li Shaoxia was quite quick-witted, so he reached out to take it, but with a gentle pull, it didn't budge.
Xiao Li's Face was full of righteousness, but his hand had its own ideas.
"?"
Let go, you!
The Purple-Robed Eunuch pulled with force.
Jingtai Emperor: "?"
In broad daylight, what kind of decorum is this, you two pulling and tugging?
He lightly coughed and said:
"Li Shaoxia is a young hero, and this time he also hosted the gathering. Is there anything else you would like as a reward?"
"Oh, actually, there is one thing."
Li Mo released his hand, allowing the God Sword to be taken by the eunuch, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Your Majesty, we hit it off ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) at first sight, and you appreciate me so much. I think we are fated, why don't you take me as your adopted..."
Jingtai Emperor was dumbfounded and laughed. This kid looked serious, but he was actually very bold, even daring to play tricks on him, actually fantasizing about becoming his adopted... "sworn brother."
Jingtai Emperor: "?"
Jiang Yu: "?"
Everyone: "???"
"Hahaha, you rascal, you truly bring joy. No wonder Han Xianzi likes you."
After a moment of silence, Jingtai Emperor suddenly burst into hearty laughter.
He naturally couldn't agree to such a request, and no one would take Li Mo's request seriously; they would only think he was being playful.
A joke was just a joke, and he didn't have to worry about what rewards to give, as he truly didn't know what else to reward Li Mo with.
Li Mo was indeed a little reluctant to part with the Celestial Human Divine Sword, but he also knew that the sword had to be returned.
But if he were truly asked to ask for something, he really lacked nothing.
So he decided to be playful and get away with it.
Jingtai Emperor smiled and shook his head, reaching out to take the Celestial Human Divine Sword handed to him by the Purple-Robed Eunuch, then looked up at the sky.
He pointed his sword at the sky, and the jiangshan sheji map suddenly expanded.
Ten thousand profound and majestic rays of light descended, and this Tianyun Dao Artifact slowly unfolded above the sky, revealing the gates of the Heavenly Human City, which fully opened, becoming clear and unobstructed.
He threw the God Sword out, and it flew back to the Heavenly Human City. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"It's a timely occasion. The Heavenly Human Trial, all living beings can observe it together."
Jingtai Emperor's voice descended from above, booming like a great bell.
The various Sects, and Jianghu vagrants in the arena were all moved. The Heavenly Human City contained Inner Scenery methods that were unparalleled in the world. The Heavenly Human City realm was almost never shown to others; at most, after the trial ended, the imperial court would announce which trial participants were superior or inferior.
Now it was actually being brought out for everyone to observe together?
"This is a Tianyun Dao Artifact..." Murong Xiao's eyes were filled with admiration, and he couldn't help but be curious:
"Abbot, there seems to be a unique space within it. How does it compare to your Mustard Seed Sumeru?"
"What Mustard Seed Sumeru?" Abbot Huai Kong blinked, looking bewildered.
Murong Xiao: "..."
Alright, the difference between Mustard Seed Sumeru and the jiangshan sheji map was probably not just a little bit.
It was a pity he couldn't enter; he could only wait for the next Qianlong Assembly.
"This is the other half of the Tianhuang Domain..."
Li Mo looked back as he walked off the stage.
Even through the jiangshan sheji map, he could feel the aura of the domain within, though it was even more magnificent and vast.
If his Small World could be projected in the future, would it also have such a spectacle?
"Brother Li, take these."
Huang Donglai held a satchel full of bottles and jars, with their uses written in small characters on the bottles:
"These are all carefully developed by me. You might find them useful."
"Even Facial Disfigurement Powder?"
Li Mo took it.
"Facial Disfigurement Powder is the mildest one inside."
"..."
From his heart, Li Mo felt that using these things was somewhat against nature.
But after squeezing Ice Cube's delicate hand, he still put away the satchel.
"There's a change in Heavenly Human City. I wonder what kind of change it will be..."
Ying Bing frowned in thought.
"The person who wrote that letter couldn't predict the future, so the information might be wrong."
Li Mo scanned the Sky Patrol Guard filling the sky, and the powerhouses from various Sects, all staring at the jiangshan sheji map, and couldn't help but feel a little more at ease.
With so many experts, and so close to the Imperial City in Dijin.
What big trouble could possibly happen?
No sooner had he spoken.
In the distant Imperial City, thick black Qi suddenly rose, like world-destroying black flames soaring into the sky.
Boom—
After the flames erupted, a deafening beast roar shook heaven and earth, stirring up boundless gales that almost prevented martial artists below the Third Realm from even opening their eyes.
Instantly, a corner of the Imperial City was swallowed, and the earth-shattering commotion could be heard throughout the entire Dijin.
"Enemy attack!"
"Protect His Majesty!"
The clang of armor sounded, and hundreds of Sky Patrol Guard quickly protected Jingtai Emperor in the center.
Jingtai Emperor remained calm in the Face of danger: "What are you all panicking for? First, find out where the incident occurred! In Dijin, could a thief really turn the world upside down?"
"It's been confirmed."
The Purple-Robed Eunuch was drenched in sweat.
"You're pale-faced over such a small matter. Speak, where did the incident occur?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's... your Imperial Harem."
