Chapter 2623: Ziwei Moving Forward
Meanwhile, in the Ziwei Segmentum, Ye Futian had returned to Ziwei Imperial Palace.
The war between the Devil World and the Divine Prefecture had attracted the attention of the seven realms, including the Original Realm, so that the world no longer paid as much attention to the Original Realm. In addition, the truce they had made with the six Ancient God Clans had ensured that all was peaceful and quiet during the time Ye Futian was away in the Devil World.
The cultivators in Ziwei Imperial Palace were cultivating assiduously to better themselves.
As soon as they learned that Ye Futian had returned, his four major disciples rushed over, and Fang Cun was the first to arrive.
“Master, Masteress.” At the palace where Ye Futian resided and cultivated, Fang Cun and the others came to pay their respect to Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu.
Ye Futian took a look at the four of them, then smiled as he focused on Fang Cun and said, “Are you here to show off to your Master?”
“Hehe.” Fang Cun wanted to show off, but now that Ye Futian had put him on the spot, he was a little embarrassed. He said with a smile, “No, I just want to come and report to the Master.”
“Mmm.” Ye Futian nodded, “It’s very good for you to be able to pass the test of the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path so quickly.”
It turned out that it was Fang Cun who had survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path and came here as soon as he knew that Ye Futian had returned, so he could show his master all that he had achieved.
“It’s all because of Master’s teachings.” Fang Cun smiled, “Master had asked Uncle Tie to bring some cultivational methods from the Shen Clan when he was at the Divine Prefecture, which helped me a lot in the breakthrough this time. Later, I asked the Supreme Elder to take me to the Shen Clan to cultivate their inherited method. It was indeed very powerful and was very suitable for me. It must have been inherited from someone at the level of the great emperor.”
“You are pretty bold.” Ye Futian looked at him and said, “You actually troubled the Supreme Elder to do your bidding.”
He knew the boy had always been pretty tenacious, but because it was his direct disciple, Lord Chen would not likely refuse his requests.
“Master, Fang Cun harassed the Supreme Elder multiple times already. The Supreme Elder wanted to wait for Master’s return first, but he gave in and took him there,” Little Ling said.
Fang Cun scratched his head before he glared at Little Ling and mumbled, “The spinster is busy telling on me.”
“In front of the Master, I am always a kid,” Little Ling shot back.
Watching the two quarrel, Ye Futian could only smile and shake his head.
“Show me, then,” Ye Futian said. Before he went to the Devil World, he had taken Blind Tie to the Shen Clan in the Divine Prefecture and brought back some of their core cultivational methods and some of the direct descendants of the Shen Clan as a way of keeping the Shen Clan under control.
The Shen Clan was originally rumored to be the descendants of a great emperor, but, unlike the Ancient God Clan, the great emperor no longer existed to reign. But the method that he passed down as inheritance was incredibly powerful. It was indeed inherited from the great emperor since ancient times.
“Yes, Master.” Fang Cun’s figure flashed and reappeared in the void. Suddenly a sacred divine glory bloomed from him that shrouded the boundless space, causing all the cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace to turn their attention that way.
Behind Fang Cun, a most sacred phantom seemed to emerge, like a deity.
Under the powerful divine glory, it seemed that all methods would be turned into dust and smoke.
“Tianshen Divine Halo,” Fang Cun said in a low voice. At this moment, he was beaming with brilliant light, and he was looking quite invincible. Then, a terrifying storm of spatial destruction seemed to be on the verge of being unleashed. However, he took one quick look at Ye Futian before retracting it again and did not dare release it fully.
“Master, there is also Tianshen Cleave—a major attack technique that can directly cleave spiritual souls. It was not any less than the divine technique from our village.”
Ye Futian nodded as he watched Fang Cun retract his aura. He said, “You know how to take from other’s strengths to shore up your own shortcomings and comprehend other divine methods to improve yourself. This is, no doubt, a good thing. There are too many methods of cultivation in the world stronger than ours. So, if by chance you have the good fortune to encounter some of them and they prove useful, you should always cultivate them and integrate them into your own comprehension.”
As he was speaking, he looked at the other three again. “Fang Cun is but a few years older than you, and he has already gone through the trial of the tribulation. You three must work harder so as not to waste the natural way that you were born with, and also the teacher’s guidance to you.”
“Yes, Master.” The three of them nodded simultaneously.
“You may go now.” Ye Futian dismissed them with a smile, and so the four bid their goodbyes and left.
Watching them leave, Ye Futian smiled and mused, “They are already top Renhuang cultivators, and one of them even entered the Tribulation Plane. Yet, they still behave like children.”
“When you were away, they were not like this at all. They are only like this when they are in front of you,” Hua Jieyu said with a smile. They behaved like children in front of Ye Futian because Ye Futian was the master who watched them grow up. In front of him, they had always retained a bit of childishness.
But to the outside world, they were extremely impressive figures themselves.
“That’s true,” Ye Futian nodded. But the truth was he was very pleased having watched these four progress to this point.
Everything was moving positively, and he hoped to buy the Ziwei Segmentum some more time.
“Palace Lord, Murong Yu has something to report.” Fang Cun and the others were Ye Futian’s students, so they could afford to be a little more casual. However, Murong Yu, as a subordinate of Ye Futian’s, must observe the proper protocols.
“Please come in,” Ye Futian said as a man walking in from outside, and it was Murong Yu.
“Sit,” said Ye Futian.
“No, I’m just here to make a report, and I won’t be staying long,” said Murong Yu. “According to outside sources, there are now more channels in the land of the Original Realm. And more cultivators from the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm are arriving in the Original Realm daily. It is as if they are getting ready for the potential entry of an army. It may have something to do with the war that erupted in the Divine Prefecture. In addition, there is also news from Wangshen Palace that there are signs of cultivators appearing in the land of the Divine Prefecture from the Human Realm and the World of Buddhism.”
“Are the effects of the war growing?” Ye Futian whispered.
“It seems to be the case for the moment. Once the Devil World and the Divine Prefecture are at war, the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm may participate in the fight against the Divine Prefecture, while the Human Realm and the World of Buddhism may end up in the same camp with the Divine Prefecture,” Murong Yu said. “However, it’s not clear for the time being whatever the future might hold; our people are watching the outside world closely.”
“Very well,” Ye Futian nodded. “Let’s see what happens next and not take any action for now.”
“Understood,” Murong Yu nodded.
After Murong Yu left, Ye Futian said, “I’m going out.”
“I’ll come with you,” Hua Jieyu said.
Ye Futian nodded, and the two left together. They went around the Ziwei Imperial Palace and visited some of the elders.
In the Starry Cultivation Court, everyone continued to work diligently.
Everyone was focusing on their cultivation.
“How is Heavenly Mandate Academy?” Ye Futian asked Hua Jieyu.
“Everything is fine. There is nothing serious going on right now. The third senior brother had asked Chen Yi to look after Heavenly Mandate Academy and be in charge for now,” Hua Jieyu said.
“The third senior brother isn’t there?” Ye Futian asked curiously.
“The third senior brother went to the secret zone in the Original Realm that was first discovered by the Haotian Clan. There is the divine seal left by the great emperor. The third senior brother is over there comprehending, and according to the second senior sister, he had made considerable progress. It has been very beneficial to his cultivation,” said Hua Jieyu.
Ye Futian nodded with a smile on his face. The sites of relics discovered and occupied by the six Ancient Shen Clans, such as the Haotian Clan, were now affiliated cultivation sites for Ziwei Segmentum!
