Zhang Tie could not have been more familiar with the figure who had appeared before him. Perhaps there were few people in all of Great Xia who did not recognize it, because this man's portrait most often appeared on the Great Xia gold coins issued by Xuanyuan Bank.
He was the only man in Great Xia whose portrait could be minted onto gold coins. Without question, he was the Emperor Xuanyuan, who had vanished before the Holy War.
With a long howl that shook the heavens for a thousand miles and changed the color of wind and clouds, the golden light before Zhang Tie transformed into the Emperor Xuanyuan. It was both beyond Zhang Tie's expectations and entirely within them.
At last, high above Hongyu Mountain, Zhang Tie and the Emperor Xuanyuan met.
"Zhang Tie pays his respects to Your Majesty!" Zhang Tie smiled faintly and gave the Emperor Xuanyuan a hand salute.
The Emperor Xuanyuan looked at Zhang Tie, then at the thousand-plus square kilometers of Hongyu Mountain that had vanished. His expression was incomparably complex. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh. "The Infinite Roc King Scripture... You are Zhang Huaiyuan's descendant, aren't you?"
As an Emperor, it would not be difficult for him to command some Ear Identification Technique. Therefore, Zhang Tie was not surprised that the Emperor Xuanyuan knew his origins. As for his cultivation method, Zhang Tie had not concealed it in the slightest just now. The wondrous resonance between Emperor-level cultivation methods had likewise allowed the Emperor Xuanyuan to grasp his true circumstances at once.
"Zhang Huaiyuan is indeed my ancestor. Your Majesty's gaze is as sharp as a torch!"
After looking Zhang Tie over twice more, the Emperor Xuanyuan asked another question. "Have you been to the Sky-Piercing Realm?"
Only the Sky-Piercing Realm
