Chapter 2242: Shock

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the palace lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace died, the starry dimension fell into temporary silence. No one spoke. They could only stare at the figure in the sky.

Many world-class cultivators had come to the starry dimension; however, at that moment, the white-haired youth at the sixth plane level was most definitely the true protagonist. He was the brightest star under the starry sky.

The practitioners from the Heavenly Mandate Academy held their fists tightly. For Ye Futian, this was yet another large opportunity. It had an extraordinary meaning. In this chaotic era, if Ye Futian could take control of the Ziwei Segmentum, he would utilize immense power and resources.

The power of the Ziwei Imperial Palace could easily overpower all the factions in the Original Realm. Even if it were in the Divine Prefecture, not many forces could be stronger than the Ziwei Imperial Palace.

However, the only regrettable thing was the palace lord of the Ziwei Imperial Palace. A top-notch cultivator had died. If only he followed the Great Emperor’s will and supported Ye Futian, everything would have been different. A cultivator standing at the peak was someone who could make the total number of normal cultivators obsolete. He would have been able to crush all the cultivators in the Ziwei Segmentum himself. It was a difference in quality.

One can only sigh at how things turned out. It was miserable.

Then, at that moment, Ye Futian lowered his head to look towards a location in the sky below him, where Ziwei Imperial Palace’s cultivators had gathered. Then, he said, “Are you willing to follow my will and support him?”

The voice echoed in the sky. While it came out of Ye Futian’s mouth, the voice also reverberated in the sky above the stars. It was as if Ye Futian was not the actual person speaking, but instead, it was the Great Emperor’s voice.

Great Emperor Ziwei wanted the practitioners under the Ziwei Imperial Palace to support Ye Futian.

The voice was majestic and dignified. God’s Might diffused downward.

The cultivators had just recently witnessed the death of their palace lord. In truth, their hearts had not calmed down. Doubt had also begun to form in their minds. Regardless, it was still the Great Emperor—the God that they believed in since the first day they started cultivating. It was their religion.

Moreover, under the circumstances, who would dare disobey the Great Emperor’s will?

Then, one person bowed slightly and said, “I willingly obey the Great Emperor’s will and will support him.”

“We will obey the Great Emperor’s will.” The cultivators of the Ziwei Imperial Palace lowered their heads. They were willing to obey the Great Emperor’s will even though they still had some doubts in their minds. After all, the Great Emperor personally asked them. What else could they have done?

That was the God of the Ziwei Segmentum. While he died many years ago, he was still their God. In the eyes of the people of Ziwei Segmentum, the Great Emperor was an eternal existence. Moreover, he had just appeared in front of them.

“Support Ye Futian and help him reach the top. He will be in charge of the Ziwei Imperial Palace and rule the Ziwei Segmentum. If he one day inherits the emperor’s throne, it will also serve as an opportunity to all of you,” the voice sounded again, still echoing all over the boundless starry sky. The echo kept on going and did not stop for a long time.

Upon hearing this, the hearts of many trembled. Ye Futian… inherit the emperor’s throne?

Did Great Emperor Ziwei believe that Ye Futian would one day reach the peak and enter the Great Emperor Plane?

Was that the reason why he chose Ye Futian instead of Ziwei Imperial Palace’s palace lord?

The hearts of the practitioners from Divine Prefecture and those from the outer realms trembled.

Emperor. An existence that stood at the peak of this world.

At that time, how many great emperors were there under the Heavenly Path?

Inheriting the emperor’s throne was easier said than done.

Like other practitioners, the Ziwei Imperial Palace cultivators also felt uneasy. If Great Emperor Ziwei really thought that, they understood it a little bit more. The Great Emperor wanted someone who could inherit his emperor’s throne.

To them, to all of Ziwei Segmentum, the appearance of a Great Emperor would hold extraordinary meaning.

As they thought of this, their hearts seemed to have calmed down a little bit. They could accept Ye Futian’s existence now.

“Yes, Great Emperor,” said the cultivators, bowing. Seeing this, the practitioners from the outer realms understood that there was a high possibility that Ye Futian would become the ruler of Ziwei Imperial Palace.

After inheriting Great Emperor Ziwei’s will, he would rule one of the strongest factions in the world.

Ziwei Imperial Palace, a gathering place for the cultivators of the entire Ziwei Segmentum.

Everything is over now, thought many practitioners. The inheritance belonged to Ye Futian. He was the largest winner.

Of course, seven other people gained powers from the Great Emperor’s inheritance; however, two of the seven were Ye Futian’s companions. One was Luo Su, who Ye Futian helped.

Moreover, after Ye Futian mastered the Great Emperor’s inheritance, the entire Starry dimension belonged to him. Lighting a star was a piece of cake to him. He could also help others cultivate. To them, these were all incredibly meaningful.

This was an ending that no one foresaw. Traces of unrest in the Original Realm; the opening of the long-sealed Ziwei Segmentum that ultimately came under Ye Futian’s control.

After this day, perhaps everyone from the Divine Prefecture’s top factions would know Ye Futian’s name.

Starlight revolved. The aura emanating from Ye Futian’s body began to change again. While still exceptional, his eyes no longer contain emperor might like before. In that instant, everyone started to understand. The Great Emperor’s will had previously assimilated into Ye Futian’s body.

Ye Futian’s body floated downward. Immediately, Emperor Nan, Old Ma, along with many other cultivators, began to move towards him. Even though things seemed to have already settled, they could not lower their guard. What if someone who still wanted to confront Ye Futian for wresting the power of the inheritance away for himself still existed?

Upon reaching the ground, Ye Futian nodded to them slightly. After that, he walked towards the Ziwei Imperial Palace cultivators and said, “Your junior – Ye Futian – is honored to meet his fellow elders and seniors.”

As he spoke, he actually bowed to the cultivators proactively. It seemed incredibly polite. The scene left a slightly good impression on the people of Ziwei Imperial Palace. The Great Emperor wanted them to support Ye Futian. Naturally, they were not very comfortable with that. After all, Ye Futian was younger than them. However, they could not do anything since it was an order of the Great Emperor. For Ye Futian to be so polite with them, they were naturally feeling better.

“By the name of the Great Emperor, we will support Emperor Ye. From today onwards, Emperor Huang should assume the Ziwei Imperial Palace’s position of palace lord. What do you say?” Said an elder. He was the second-in-command of Ziwei Imperial Palace, the Supreme Elder of the palace. He was also a practitioner who had lived for many years. His seniority in the family was very high.

Ye Futian nodded slightly. Then, he said, “The Great Emperor has also demanded something from me. With my cultivation level, I should not be qualified to take this position. However, since it is the will of the Great Emperor, I will gladly obey. Of course, even though I am the palace lord, affairs related to the Ziwei Imperial Palace and the Ziwei Segmentum will still be cared for by all of you, dear elders. I will focus on cultivation and hope to reach your levels as soon as possible so that I do not let the Great Emperor down.”

Clearly, Ye Futian did not have any intention to rule the imperial palace on that day. He still needed time. He would move step-by-step.

The cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace nodded slightly. They admired Ye Futian’s action and behavior somewhat. They were also feeling a lot better.

Raising his head, Ye Futian gazed at the starry sky. Then, he said, “In the future, Ziwei Imperial Palace practitioners may come here to cultivate. I can help give them a push.”

Everyone knew what Ye Futian meant by that. That arrangement would greatly help the Ziwei Imperial Palace practitioners.

Ye Futian began to relax after he saw that the cultivators had calmed down. He finally completed the arrangements for Ziwei Imperial Palace.

In truth, it was not Great Emperor Ziwei issuing commands earlier. It was all a part of his plan. He disguised himself as Great Emperor Ziwei to issue those orders. The will of Great Emperor Ziwei did indeed exist, and it did assimilate with the starry sky. He could also borrow its power; however, it was impossible to let Great Emperor Ziwei speak.

Ye Futian himself did everything. To take control of Ziwei Imperial Palace and completely rule the starry cultivation court, he had to do what he did.

Otherwise, he might have even faced grave dangers. Ziwei Imperial Palace might target him, and the other external factions might have also targeted him.

The good thing was that everything had been settled by now. He was also recognized by Ziwei Imperial Palace and would soon become the new palace lord.

With these arrangements settled, Ye Futian gazed again at the practitioners far away and said, “Everyone, let’s leave things at that. Please.”

Clearly, he was ushering for the guests to leave.

Everything was over. It would have also been inappropriate to ask the practitioners to remain there.

The practitioners looked at Ye Futian. Some of them frowned and said, “Emperor Ye. You have obtained the Great Emperor’s inheritance. However, there are many bizarre and astonishing places in the starry dimension. There is also the Imperial Star. Emperor Ye, why not be magnanimous and keep this starry cultivation court open? What do you say?”

Ye Futian looked at the person who spoke. So, they wanted to stay and continue cultivating, huh?

There was no way something so easy existed in the world.

He smiled and said, “Dear senior, you misunderstood me. It is not that I do not want you to cultivate here, but instead, the will of the Great Emperor has awakened. He watches over everything that happens within the dimension, and no matter what you do, the Great Emperor would know. If you wish to join Ziwei Imperial Palace, the Great Emperor will most likely have no opinion. However, if you want to stay and cultivate at the court, unfortunately…”

After a brief pause, Ye Futian continued and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try. I will not intervene.”

After hearing Ye Futian’s words, the cultivators were doubtful. The Great Emperor’s will had recovered, and he would not allow it?

“Let me try,” said a person. Shortly after, a figure suddenly leaped into the air. The person headed towards a higher altitude while gazing at the stars. However, at that moment, countless stars suddenly became brighter. Following that, a frightening mass of Heaven’s authority spread from above, causing the expressions on the practitioners’ faces to change abruptly.

The mass of heaven’s might continued to push downward; Starry Divine Lights spread downward, which caused the powerful figure to salute the starry sky and say, “Apologies for disturbing the Great Emperor, please forgive me.”

As he spoke, his body turned downwards he began to retreat. In an instant, that mass of emperor’s might had vanished.

This scene caused the expression on everyone’s faces to change. They continued to stare at the starry sky.

The Great Emperor’s will had awakened. Would it always exist?

If that were the case, they would have no hope.

The cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace felt all kinds of emotions as they watched the series of events take place in front of them. However, the awakening of the Great Emperor’s will was most certainly a boon for them.

However, they did not know that Ye Futian staged everything.

“Since that is done, we will take our leave,” said a person to the sky, saluting. The Great Emperor was there. What else could they do?

“Dear seniors, elders, please go ahead,” Ye Futian said. Before long, the practitioners started to move as they prepared to leave this place!
