The summer wind was slightly cold.
Xu Taiping left the hotel with Gongshen's help, and Tao Zi got off the car first. After all, he did not receive an invitation to enter the Emperor's Palace like Xu Taiping did.
The carriage headed east, finally arriving outside the massive Emperor Palace.
The Sky Emperor Palace could be considered one of the most famous places in the capital, Xi Jing City. This place was similar to the Forbidden City of Hua Xia, however, the history of the Sky Emperor Palace was very short, only a few decades old.
The Sky Emperor Palace took up a huge amount of space, and was split into two parts, the inner and outer palace. The outer palace was open to visitors, and as long as you spent some money to buy a ticket, you could enter and visit.
It was said that the reason why there was such a palace was because the current emperor of this generation was a Chinese fanatic. As a result, before he ascended the throne, he had already started the construction of the palace, and the layout of the entire palace was basically in accordance with the layout of the Forbidden City.
There were many cherry trees planted in the outer palace of the Emperor Tian Palace. Every year, during the 30th month, the cherry trees would blossom and many people from the Country of Foot Pots would bring their families here for a spring tour.
Gong Ben had brought Xu Taiping to the other side of the palace, but had not passed through the outer palace. This made Xu Taiping, who wanted to see the sights of the outer palace, feel somewhat regretful.
Arriving at the inner palace, Xu Taiping and Gong Ben got off early, and walked together towards a palace on the left side of the inner palace.
The palace on the left was the residence of the emperor, and so the largest structure in the center belonged to the emperor himself. The smaller palace on the left was meant for the emperor himself.
The size of this palace was even greater than that of the First Prince's palace. One could imagine just how high the status of the God of Heaven was in the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Xu Taiping saw many people dressed in divine robes, and these people were basically all Divine Disciples. The status of Divine Disciples was considered the lowest in the Sky Emperor Palace because they all served others, similar to the palace maids and eunuchs of ancient China. Of course, these Divine Disciples were not castrated like the eunuchs.
If anyone saw her, they would stand to the side and bow to her. From this, one could tell that the position of Gong Ben Ying in the Sky Emperor Palace was very high.
It took the two of them ten minutes to reach the God of Heaven's residence.
"I'm going in to report that Xu Sang has been waiting for a while outside." As she spoke, she bowed to Xu Taiping, then turned and walked into the residence of the God of Heaven.
Xu Taiping narrowed his eyes and looked up at the plaque on the front door of the building. There were three words written on it: Heavenly God Palace.
There were people passing by from time to time, and when they saw Xu Taiping, many of them revealed stunned expressions. After all, the current Xu Taiping was too handsome, and too immortal-like, just like a graceful young man. Especially those female disciples, they almost couldn't move when they saw him.
Xu Taiping put his hands in front of him, looking straight ahead.
A few minutes later, Gong Ben Ying came out of the Heavenly God Palace, smiled and said to Xu Taiping, "Lord God of Heaven is already up, and is waiting for you inside. Please come with me. "
"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded, and followed her into the Heavenly God Palace.
The main hall of the Heavenly God Palace had a huge statue of the God of Heaven. Gong Ben and Xu Taiping went up to the second floor, took off their shoes at the stairs, and walked barefoot into the middle room on the second floor.
The floor of the room was covered with a soft tatami that creaked under the feet.
Xu Taiping followed her to the center of the room, where she knelt down while Xu Taiping sat down cross-legged.
"Xu Sang, to meet the Lord of the Gods, you should kneel." Gong Ben Ying said.
"My knee isn't good, so that's all I can do." Xu Taiping shrugged helplessly.
Gong Ben Ying seemed to know what Xu Taiping was thinking and smiled, "This is just a form of etiquette."
"But my knees really aren't good." Xu Taiping said.
Gong Ben Ying gave a helpless smile, no longer insisting that Xu Taiping should kneel.
The room was lit up by incense smoke, and a very nice smell wafted through the air.
There was a painting of an old man hanging in front of the room. Xu Taiping had seen this old man before.
At this moment, the sound of light footsteps came from the side of the room.
Xu Taiping sat up straight and put his hands on his knees, as if he was being serious.
As the sound of the footsteps grew louder and louder, a man wearing a crimson robe appeared in front of Xu Taiping.
The first thing that caught Xu Taiping's attention was the long white hat on his head.
The hat was about half a meter long, somewhat similar to a chef's hat, but it was different. The chef's hat had a round opening on top, and the higher one went, the narrower it became. Finally, it was completely withdrawn at a height of half a meter.
Under the white hat was a slightly aged face. This face … Xu Taiping didn't know how to describe it. He looked like a man, but he also looked like a woman, but no matter if it was a man or a woman, both of their faces looked very comfortable. He wasn't the type to easily see a face, but the combination of their facial features gave one the feeling of being bathed in spring air.
Xu Taiping had thought that the God of Heaven should be a very dignified person, but he never thought that he would have such a warm face. After that was the set of red godly robes worn by the God of Heaven, which were extremely loose, as if they had been blown from the inside, causing the God of Heaven to look very large. However, Xu Taiping knew that the God of Heaven's body should be rather thin, as could be seen from his bare limbs.
The God of Heaven walked to the portrait of the Emperor and sat down cross-legged.
"Hello, Xu Sang." His voice was the same as his voice, completely neutral.
"Hello, Mr. God of Heaven." Although the God in front of him did not give him any sort of pressure, he did not know why, but Xu Taiping felt as if everything about him had been seen through by the God of Heaven. The reason why he had such a feeling, Xu Taiping knew, was because his Qi had already been completely locked down, and as long as a person's Qi was completely locked down, they would have a feeling of being seen through.
"Relax." The God of Heaven smiled and said, "Although I am a God of Heaven in the Pelletier Country, when I was young, I once studied in Hua Xia for a very long time, so I always felt that I was half a Chinese."
"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows. If it was an ordinary human with feet, then it wouldn't be a big deal, but if a God who held a high position said that, then it would be a big mistake in politics. A person who was only second to the Sky Emperor in the Sky Emperor Palace had said that he was half Chinese, which was equivalent to the Vice President of the Mi Nation saying that he was half Chinese.
"You don't need to think too much. I'll say whatever I think." The Empyrean God laughed.
"Mr. God of Heaven was travelling in China, where have you been?" Xu Taiping asked curiously.
"Wu Dang, Shaolin, I've been there before. There are also many underworld clans that have also visited. I've met many people in China and made many friends. Even now, I still have fellow disciples in China." The God of Heaven said.
"Senior and junior brother?!" Xu Taiping looked at the God of Heaven in shock and said, "You accepted a master in Hua Xia?!"
"Yes." The God of Heaven nodded and said, "My master is Chinese."
"F * ck!" Xu Taiping couldn't help but exclaim. The person who was the best at fighting in this country was actually a Chinese disciple. Who would believe this if it was spread out?
"I have a youngest junior brother. Perhaps you will know him." The God of Heaven said.
"Who?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Zhao Qingshan!"
The entire room was deathly silent.
Xu Taiping had never been as shocked as he was now. Even if his sister Tomorrow Flower said she was a chick, he probably wouldn't be as shocked as he was now.
Zhao Qingshan was actually the Junior Brother of the God of Heaven, this … No matter how imaginative he was, it was impossible for him to think of such a thing.
To the side, Gong Ben Ying was also stunned, as this was the first time she had heard of this.
"Don't you know my junior brother?" the God of Heaven asked.
"Yes, yes." Xu Taiping nodded with a troubled face and said, "But I didn't expect that you would actually be my brothers …" This, this is too hard to believe. The two of you should be quite a few years younger than me, right? "
"I was older than him by twenty years. I was the first to enter under my master's tutelage, and he only entered when I was about to leave my tutelage. At that time, he was only a teenager in his teens. " The God of Heaven said.
"Master? Who is your master? To be able to teach people like you, your Master is definitely not simple, right? " Xu Taiping asked.
"Master, he doesn't have a name." The God of Heaven shook his head and said, "I've studied under Master for many years and have never heard of Master's name. And it seems that I don't have any friends or relatives. He lives alone in the world and comes and goes freely."
"Interesting, I never thought that there would be such a character in China!" Xu Taiping couldn't help but sigh. To be able to teach such a top tier expert like the God of Heaven and Zhao Qingshan, just what sort of peerless talent was this!?
Xu Taiping couldn't imagine it at all.
"Then what kind of sect does your master belong to?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Master said that he had no sect, and his knowledge was mottled and messy. However, he could take advantage of the weak and modify and fuse with what he had learned by himself. Master, you are the most outstanding person I have ever seen in my life." The God of Heaven said. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
