Chapter 360: Chapter 298: Is the Empress of Heavenly Rank?

Just as Pei Xuanjing was listening to the Crown Prince introduce various factions, he paused abruptly, his gaze shifting towards the distance.

The Crown Prince quickly followed his gaze, only to see the Emperor and Empress arriving.

But Pei Xuanjing's attention wasn't on the Emperor and Empress, but on the slender, Taoist-robed elder behind them.

"Superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, Ye Daoyuan!"

Although this was their first meeting, Pei Xuanjing had already confirmed the man's identity.

This was the so-called number one strongman of the Empire, Ye Daoyuan, who had one foot in the Celestial Human Realm.

Indeed powerful!

Pei Xuanjing's eyebrows raised slightly. Despite the Superintendent appearing ordinary, he could sense the other party's incredible strength, a Dao intent that seemed to merge with Heaven and Earth and was on the brink of ascension.
