After we broke up, I awakened my divine body. Why are you crying?

"After more than ten years of friendship, the Saint actually despises me for being ugly. It really makes me sad."

Ji Chen smiled and started joking with her.

But now, he has changed his appearance with secret techniques and looks ordinary, which is why he is laughed at by the Kunlun Saint.

It's not really meant to be sarcastic.

During the thirteen years in the Empress's Dojo, the two were almost inseparable. They spent thirteen years together in a space without a third person. They had already had a very good relationship and knew each other well.

It is said that a year ago, Ji Chen was forced into the depths of the Holy Meteorite Mountain. After the Holy Maiden of Kunlun learned the news, she went to the Holy Meteorite Mountain in person to look for him. However, the forbidden power in the mountain was so terrible that she dared not go deep into it.

In the eyes of the Kunlun Saint, Ji Chen was most likely really dead.

She couldn't help but sigh. Anyone would feel sad when a close friend of more than ten years passed away.

From then on, she had been staying in Kunlun, practicing hard to cut off all emotions and desires.

It was not until recently that she received a secret letter from the Holy Dynasty and understood everything.

Knowing that Ji Chen was not dead, he walked out of the Shengyun Mountains alive.

Naturally, the Holy Lady of Kunlun was happy for Ji Chen for such a thing.

Ji Chen left her a trace of his breath mark in the letter. Therefore, after arriving in the Imperial City, the Kunlun Saint was able to recognize Ji Chen after his changed appearance by relying on this trace of breath mark.

After meeting again after more than a year, she had a lot of questions to ask, but this was obviously not the place to talk.

Soon, the two of them walked together towards the north of the city.

Emperor Yan's Palace.

One of the few scenic spots in the imperial city.

In the past, the human race’s Emperor Yan attained enlightenment here. To commemorate him, later generations built an imperial palace here.

There are several imperial palaces like this in the Imperial City, all of which were places where several ancient emperors of the human race attained enlightenment in the past.

This is the imperial city of the human race, with an extremely ancient and long history.

It is no exaggeration to say that almost all of the few ancient emperors in the history of the human race were able to attain enlightenment in this city.

Therefore, the Imperial City is also known as the holy land and paradise of human race.

Now that the grand gathering of the two races is approaching, countless cultivators have come to the Imperial City, including geniuses famous in the Nine Regions and saints who look down on the Eastern Wilderness.

During this period of time, the Emperor Yan's Palace has attracted many cultivators, all of whom want to explore the place where the Emperor Yan attained enlightenment in the past, and want to see what mysteries and differences there are here.

Ji Chen and the Holy Maiden of Kunlun arrived at the Emperor Yan's Palace. Looking around, they saw that many figures had already gathered here. Most of them were young and proud people from various holy places or ancient families, and there were also many geniuses from ancient clans among them.

"How did you survive in the Holy Falling Mountains for a year?"

The two of them swam together by a lake, admiring the scenery. Her graceful figure was like a goddess from heaven, her clothes were spotless, her beauty was extremely moving, and she attracted the attention of countless people.

"This matter... is actually a long story. If I have time in the future, I will explain it to you slowly." Ji Chen spoke in a low voice. There were many people here, and it was not a good place to have a conversation.

Moreover, this topic is quite sensitive. If you really want to discuss it in public, you will inevitably expose your identity.

Moreover, because of the presence of the Kunlun Saint, the two of them had already become the focus of the whole audience. In the Yan Emperor's Palace, countless eyes were staring at them.

"Isn't that the Saint of Kunlun?"

"One of the three most famous beauties in the East Desert, she is truly unparalleled and even more surprising than the legend."

"Who is the young man in white beside her? How could such an ordinary person like him travel to the Imperial Palace with the Holy Maiden of Kunlun? What kind of blessing did he get in his previous life?"

As everyone was discussing, they couldn't help but become curious about Ji Chen's identity and were all guessing about his origins.

It was obvious, judging from the scene of the two people chatting and laughing, Ji Chen was not an ordinary person, and even less likely to be a servant.

But in the current Eastern Wilderness, there are only a few young people in the human race who are qualified to be treated like this by the Holy Maiden of Kunlun, and Ji Chen is not among them.

So, what is his origin?

"I've seen the saint."

Suddenly, a man came up to the front and approached the Kunlun Saint. After respectfully paying homage, he continued, "My master is currently hosting a banquet in the Yan Emperor's Palace. Upon learning that the Saint was coming, he specially ordered me to come and invite her."

Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he was a member of the Jiang family from another branch. And the young master he mentioned could only be Jiang Ning, who had the blood of the emperor.

"Would you like to sit down?"

The Holy Maiden of Kunlun did not respond directly, but looked at Ji Chen.

She knew that few people knew about Ji Chen's return. If he really went to Jiang Ning, with all the young geniuses from various regions of the Eastern Wilderness sitting together, it was hard to say whether anyone would guess Ji Chen's identity.

"Let's go and take a look. There's nothing else to do anyway." Ji Chen nodded.

The grand event between the two tribes has not really started yet. It is said that some of the human race’s saints and kings of the ancient tribe have not yet arrived, so it will have to be postponed for a few days.

Soon, under the guidance of the Jiang family's outer branch disciple, Ji Chen and the Kunlun Saint finally arrived at a pavilion behind the Imperial Palace.

This pavilion was built on the lake. Walking along the bluestone-paved corridor and entering the pavilion, they found that there were already many figures sitting here, about a dozen people, both men and women, all with extraordinary temperaments. It was obvious at a glance that they were not simple people.

"Fairy Zhou is here."

The appearance of the Kunlun Saint immediately made everyone present stop talking and look over.

Jiang Ning personally stood up and went to greet him.

"Who is this……"

He bowed slightly to the Holy Maiden of Kunlun, then turned his gaze to look at Ji Chen. His face suddenly froze and showed a look of curiosity.

"I am... Chen Ji." Ji Chen paused slightly and then spoke like this.

Soon, Jiang Ning personally arranged for the two of them to sit down.

The name Chen Ji sounded very unfamiliar to Jiang Ning and everyone present. Obviously, none of them had ever heard of him before.

Moreover, there is no ancient family with the surname Chen in the Eastern Wilderness, so it can be confirmed that the other party is not the leader of any family.

Maybe a genius from some holy land?

Otherwise, how could he be qualified to appear here with a figure like the Kunlun Saint.

Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, this ordinary-looking young man in white named Chen Ji must have a complicated identity.

"Brother Chen looks unfamiliar. I wonder which sect you belong to?"

Not long after they sat down, someone couldn't help but ask. They looked at Ji Chen with confusion and doubt.

"I... am just a casual cultivator, without any sect or school." Ji Chen made up a lie. He couldn't say that he was Ji Chen from the Yuhua Sect.
