68: 100 Million Past Events

They didn't even need to report this matter to the Sect. Lin Tianxuan alone was enough to wipe out this entire force; he didn't even put two Great Emperors in his eyes.

The atmosphere was once again tense, with swords drawn. Just as they were about to make a move, a light cough was heard.

"Who told you to lay hands on our esteemed guests? We have always been on good terms with Heavenly Profound Sect. Guards, take General Wang to the Sky Prison to await his punishment!"

The Emperor suddenly spoke, releasing the pressure of a Quasi-Emperor instantly. The military officials retreated repeatedly, their Faces showing panic as they bowed their heads.

Li Haotian watched, a sneer unconsciously appearing on his Face. After testing him and realizing he possessed some strength, they immediately wanted to show goodwill. Did they really think he couldn't see through it?

"Let's go, no need to stay here any longer."

Li Haotian prepared to leave with his people. Su Yao and the others followed behind their Revered Master without hesitation, casting disdainful glances at everyone present.

They originally didn't want to put on such a condescending attitude, as the disparity between the two forces was already significant.

Since they were unreasonable first, Li Haotian and his group naturally didn't need to show any Face.

"Friends from Heavenly Profound Sect, please stay. Even if you don't take up a position, please allow me to fulfill my duties as a host. I invite you all to enjoy a meal of local delicacies in this palace, guaranteed to make you linger and forget to return."

At these words, Li Haotian actually stopped. His two Disciples beside him also had their eyes light up. The three exchanged glances, then slowly turned around.

"If you can really bring out something delicious, it's not like we can't eat a meal here before leaving. But let's be clear, don't hold a grudge about what just happened; your people started the trouble first."

Li Haotian's attitude was quite arrogant. The Emperor, as expected of a monarch, showed no anger on his Face, remaining calm and even displaying a slight smile, as if his invitation was truly sincere.

The group was led to a Side Hall to rest. In less than two hours, everything was ready.

"I always feel like something isn't right. The location of this Yizhang Dynasty has always been a Fissure in my memory, especially beneath their Imperial City. I remember it particularly clearly."

"In my era, this could be called a Human Race absolute dead zone. As for why everything is peaceful now, to be honest, it makes me somewhat puzzled."

Lin Tianxuan secretly sent a sound transmission to Li Haotian, who pondered for a moment before speaking.

"If that's the case, then go investigate and return after you've learned the full story."

Lin Tianxuan bowed slightly, cupping his fists, then vanished in an instant, leaving no trace, not even a wisp of his Qi.

Li Haotian led his two unsuspecting Disciples into the main hall, which was filled with tables laden with various dishes.

The dishes looked quite appetizing, especially those featuring local plants and animals. The three's eyes lit up at the sight.

Initially, only Li Haotian loved to eat, but gradually, his two Disciples also grew accustomed to it. If they didn't eat something every day, they felt their lives had no meaning.

Standing beside these tables were civil and military officials, far more numerous than before, but the three paid them no mind.

"Since our esteemed guests have arrived, We officially declare the Royal Banquet to begin."

Li Haotian and the two others looked at the sun, which had not yet set outside, and a puzzled expression appeared on their Faces.

Banquet? It was still afternoon; it couldn't be called a banquet at all.

Soon, the three realized that their meal actually lasted from afternoon until evening. A total of five thousand different dishes were served, and the initial one thousand dishes they saw were only the first round.

There was a second round of dishes, a third round of dishes, a total of five rounds of dishes.

Not a single dish's flavor or ingredients were repeated.

One must say, the cooking skill of the Yizhang Dynasty was truly first-class. To be able to develop so many ways of eating also showed how much the people here loved food.

Li Haotian and the two others ate with great relish; the taste of these things was truly superior to them.

Such a complex variety delighted them. As Li Haotian gnawed on a pig's trot, he suddenly heard Lin Tianxuan's voice in his mind.

"Young Master, I have inspected this place; everything is as usual."

"The Fissure below is still there, but a Great Emperor expert is suppressing it, and the surrounding area is covered with dense Formations. It should be this Imperial Dynasty's own method."

Li Haotian replied without a change in expression, telling the other party to wait outside.

"I wonder if our esteemed guests are satisfied with the meal?"

The Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't eaten much of the delicacies, basically just tasting one or two bites of each dish.

"Naturally, it was very comfortable. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the hospitality."

Li Haotian said, picking up another piece of chicken and putting it in his mouth.

Seeing this, The Emperor showed an even brighter smile, though it contained a hint of an old fox.

"Alright, civil and military officials, please leave first. The esteemed guests from Heavenly Profound Sect have something to say."

The civil and military officials put down their bowls and chopsticks, handed them to the attending eunuchs, and quickly left the main hall. Only The Emperor and Li Haotian's group remained in the hall.

"The Great Emperor expert beside Peak Master Li should have already gone to the Fissure, I wonder if there have been any gains?"

Li Haotian raised an eyebrow slightly but did not stop eating.

"To perceive his Cultivation, it seems you are not simple either. He did indeed investigate, but only found your people guarding the Fissure, nothing else."

"Tell me, why did you keep us until evening? Don't tell me it was simply to treat us to a meal; I can't believe such a reason."

The Emperor slowly rose from his chair, a somewhat helpless expression on his Face.

"My Yizhang Dynasty, ten thousand years ago, migrated here with a large number of Clan members to multiply and thrive, and suppressed the Fissure. The numerous foreign races within that spatial fissure were forcibly driven back by us, and the Fissure has been guarded by successive Clan Chiefs of the Zhang family."

"However, this race is somewhat peculiar; the longer it is suppressed, the worse the Cultivation talent of the Zhang family's descendants becomes, especially by my generation."

"As The Emperor, my Cultivation has been stuck at Quasi-Emperor for a thousand years. This is due to my talent; I can no longer advance half a step. Every so often, I gather young talents to seek out Great Emperor seedlings. If they are willing to take up the position, I will Cultivate them step by step, allowing them to ascend to the position of Great Emperor and once again take over our duty of guarding the Fissure."

Li Haotian and the two others all put on expressions like they were watching a show, chewing on their food while listening to him tell his story.
