The Legend of Futian

Ye Futian was in a state of deep slumber. He forgot about his state of self, as he was a part of the starry sky. In other words, he was the starry sky.

When he was inheriting the power of Great Emperor Ziwei, his spiritual soul merged with the starry sky and became one with it. Hence, Emperor Xi and the others could sense that the starlight was repairing Ye Futian’s injured spiritual soul. They had no idea what he had been through previously; therefore, they were astonished by it.

Even so, Ye Futian remained in his state of deep sleep. The injuries he suffered this time were too great; he couldn’t recover in a short period of time.

Emperor Xi and the others cultivated in the starry sky. At the same time, the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace were busy setting up the teleportation grand matrix that would connect the palace with the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

Since the seal had been broken and the Ziwei Segmentum was now connected with the outside world, the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace could naturally explore the outside world. Ye Futian was the Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace and the key figure of the Heavenly Mandate Realm. Therefore, it made sense for them to connect the two places and form a strong alliance.

In the future, Ye Futian could replace Donghuang the Great in ruling over the Original Realm.

However, right now, their task was to overcome the distance between them and the cultivators from the outside world.

Time flew by. It was unknown when the passageway that connected the two Realms was completed.

On this day, at the Heavenly Mandate Academy, many cultivators stood on a powerful starry sky teleportation grand matrix. When the light lit up, a beam of divine light shot up into the sky, forming a space passageway.

The next moment, all the people standing on the starry sky teleportation grand matrix disappeared. Outside of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, all the cultivators felt their hearts tremble as they witnessed the scene. The people in the Heavenly Mandate City were even more shocked by the occurrence. Did those cultivators go to the Ziwei Segmentum?

They wondered what the legendary Ziwei Segmentum, the world established by Great Emperor Ziwei, looked like. In the future, would they have a chance to visit the place too?

When the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy reappeared, they were already in Ziwei Imperial Palace.

When the figures of Lord Taixuan and the rest appeared in Ziwei Imperial Palace, Lord Taixuan felt slightly emotional as he stared at the majestic building before him. He had not come here with the rest last time. So, this was his first time visiting the superpower that ruled over the Ziwei Segmentum. Now, Ye Futian was the Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace.

“Greetings, Renhuang Chen.” Seeing Renhuang Chen walking over in their direction, Lord Taixuan and the rest greeted him by nodding their heads and bowing slightly. They paled in comparison to Renhuang Chen, be it in their years of cultivation or the Plane they were at. Even Lord Taixuan showed his respect for Renhuang Chen.

“Welcome, everyone.” Renhuang Chen nodded with a smile. “Feel free to have a look around Ziwei Imperial Palace.”

As he said this, he turned around and led the way. Lord Taixuan and the rest followed him and took a tour around Ziwei Imperial Palace. After that, Lord Taixuan asked, “Has Futian recovered yet?”

Renhuang Chen replied, “He is still cultivating in the starry cultivation court. But you don’t need to worry. He is gradually recovering. His damaged spiritual soul is also getting better. There shouldn’t be any problems.” Lord Taixuan nodded and said, “Let’s go visit him. I’ll also check out the starry cultivation court. I have yet to visit the place. Let me experience the will of the Great Emperor too.”

“Alright,” agreed Renhuang Chen with a smile. “Let’s go.”

As they said this, they entered Ziwei Divine Temple to access the starry cultivation court.

They noticed that Emperor Xi, the Millet Emperor, and Thunder Punishing Skylord were also around when they arrived. Ye Futian’s body was floating in the starry sky and was bathed in starlight. It was as though he was being baptized by the divine light.

Like Emperor Xi and his group, Lord Taixuan and the rest were also astonished by this scene. Was Ye Futian actually repairing his spiritual soul by bathing in starlight?

Right at the moment, Ye Futian’s body moved slowly. His eyes opened, and brilliant light shone from them. A starry world seemed to be encompassed in his pupils. He stood up from his initially lying position and felt very refreshed. His spiritual soul was stronger now than it was before the major battle. Not only was his spiritual soul fine now, but the battle seemed to be a blessing in disguise for him.

“He is awake,” someone commented. When the people beneath the sky saw that he was awake, they had smiles on their faces. He had woken up earlier than they had expected. After experiencing such an intense battle, he actually woke up in such a short amount of time. As expected, this starry world was indeed amazing.

Ye Futian floated towards the crowd. When he saw Emperor Xi and the rest, he bowed slightly. Then, he looked at Lord Taixuan and said, “Lord Taixuan is here too.”

“Hmm.” Lord Taixuan nodded and updated him, “Renhuang Chen has ordered people to build a starry sky teleportation grand matrix that connects Ziwei Imperial Palace and the Heavenly Mandate Academy. I have just arrived not long ago. I didn’t expect you to be awake now.”

Ye Futian was pleasantly surprised when he heard Lord Taixuan’s words. This was indeed the progress he wished. He nodded at Renhuang Chen and said, “Thank you, Elder, for your hard work.”

“Palace Lord is too polite. I was doing my job,” responded Renhuang Chen.

“Did Master arrive before I went unconscious?” Ye Futian asked. During the battle, he lost consciousness right when Master arrived. He had exhausted himself. On top of that, he received a heavy blow from Taichu Saint Emperor. His body couldn’t take it, and he fell unconscious.

“Hmm.” Li Changsheng nodded and said, “Futian, you’re indeed a lucky guy. After you went to the Shangqing Domain, you managed to enter Four Corner Village. Then, you got acquainted with Master. We speculate that Master might have been a Great Emperor level figure in the past.”

“Great Emperor level?” Ye Futian’s heart quivered slightly. Master was previously a Great Emperor?

However, Master said that he was under restraints. What exactly was going on?

Was he the ancestor of Four Corner Village? Four Corner Great Emperor?

“Back then, Older Brother was the one who sent me to the village. Therefore, Older Brother should take credit for this,” Ye Futian said to Li Changsheng. “Master is a legendary figure that is not concerned with worldly matters. I am also unsure of his actual identity. However, Master was indeed very good to me.”

Throughout all these years, several cultivators had left Four Corner Village and encountered perilous situations. Many of them perished. However, Master had never interfered once. This time, Ye Futian faced danger in the Original Realm, and Master actually traversed the worlds to save him. Master came to the Original Realm from the Shangqing Domain of the Divine Prefecture directly to hold the fort.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Perhaps Master could also tell that Ye Futian was extraordinary.

“How is the Original Realm now?” inquired Ye Futian. Seeing that Lord Taixuan and the rest were here, he speculated that they had already resolved the crisis. However, he had no idea what the situation was like now.

Lord Taixuan explained, “After the battle, Master kept everyone in line. Princess Donghuang came too. Her arrival caused the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture to behave. After that, no one stirred up any trouble. One by one, the forces in the Original Realm visited the academy and offered their apologies. Now, we’re waiting for you to go back and decide what to do with them.” They were waiting for Ye Futian’s decision because everything that happened had to do with him.

The target that the enemy forces had always wanted to eliminate was Ye Futian. Therefore, Lord Taixuan and the rest were not qualified to decide the matter for him. It all depended on him. Regardless of his decision, they would support him.

“Offer their apologies?” repeated Ye Futian as a cold look appeared in his eyes. How could they be let off so easily?
