Chapter 2266: Wait

At the Heavenly Mandate Academy, a streak of Divine Light of Space shot down from the sky. As if it originated from beyond the vault of the world, it immediately opened up a space passage.
Subsequently, a group of people appeared and descended within the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
At this moment, aces of the Heavenly Mandate Academy looked in one direction in concert, which was the direction where the teleportation grand matrix was located. The Great Lord had returned.
Ye Futian, he should be back as well?
Beyond the Heavenly Mandate Academy, a group of people was levitating in the air and striding forward. Seeing that the white-haired youth was among those people, the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy sighed in relief. As they had anticipated, Ye Futian was there. They all believed that even after being severely wounded, Ye Futian would eventually recover, as he was the embodiment of miracles themselves.
Besides, it could be noticed that Ye Futian’s temperament had seemingly become even more exceptional. In the same white clothes and same white hair, his aura already gave people the feeling of a powerful figure. It felt even stronger than the aura he had during the last great battle.
Could it be that he had attained yet another breakthrough?
The heartbeats of many throbbed. If their guess were correct, right now, Ye Futian would already be a high-level Renhuang, genuinely embarking on the path towards the peak.
Cultivators in the Heavenly Mandate Academy were unlike before. Their outlook of the world was not at all low. Regular high-level Renhuanugs could no longer make them feel surprised. After all, they had met top aces from various worlds. However, Ye Futian was different. Should he step into high-level Renhuang, the significance would be extraordinary.
The group of people came in front of an enormous hall. Aces from all places gathered over. All of them were familiar figures, and they all discovered the changes in Ye Futian’s body.
“Have you attained a breakthrough?” Shen Luoxue asked Ye Futian while facing him. She felt that Ye Futian was kind of different.
“Yeah.” Ye Futian nodded. Shen Luoxue was speechless. This man’s speed in cultivation was truly terrifying. On this very day, she could still remember the scene where Ye Futian would save Qi Xuangang. His growth was too quick. Because of him, the Shen Clan became a thing of the past; their members had either left or were scattered about. Even Shen Luoxue felt kind of bad about what had taken place. After all, she was once a member of the Shen Clan. The blood that flowed within her was the same as those from the Shen Clan.
Speaking of which, her emotions toward Ye Futian were somewhat complicated. However, having cultivated until her level, it was entirely normal for the state of her mind to alter. She knew that Ye Futian could not be blamed for whatever happened. Even if Ye Futian did not kill them himself, the Sky River Great Elder would. And if the Sky River Great Elder were the one who arrived, perhaps she would feel even more pain.
Besides, after the catastrophe, the Sky River Great Elder promised that he would not exterminate nor drive away those from the Shen Clan.
Following the deaths of a few of the Shen Clan’s major figures, the grudge they shared could be considered alleviated.
Ye Futian also asked about some things going on in the Original Realm at this point. The Shen Clan and the Golden Divine Nation were no more, and all of their top aces were killed. However, many forces were still alive. But many forces had been disbanded, and they had come previously to seek peace and forgiveness.
However, that was, by no means, an easy thing to accomplish.
“Lord Taixuan, please order our men to covey a message the forces of the Nine Realms. Tell them that the Heavenly Mandate Academy is calling them for a gathering at our premises,” Ye Futian said to Lord Taixuan.
“Very well.” Lord Taixuan nodded. Although Ye Futian was the Heavenly Mandate Academy’s core figure, he was still the Heavenly Mandate Academy’s College Chief. Ye Futian had always shown him much respect and had asked him to issue the order.
He gazed at Sky Demon Court’s Demon Lord, Dragon Gods’ Clan Lord, Jiang Chengzi, and many more. He opened his mouth and said, “The journey to the Nine Realms is a long one, so I might need to trouble all of you to make it possible. Travel to the Nine Realms and tell the various forces to make a trip to our academy.”
“Very well then.” The people did not have any opinions. They discussed among each other about their respective destinations and set off directly. Some of them used the grand matrix of space to travel to the Central Emperor Realm, while some also traveled into the void to various realms.
Seeing the aces traveling into the void, ripples of emotions surfaced within the hearts of the Heavenly Mandate Academy’s cultivators. For the Heavenly Mandate Academy to gather the various forces, it seemed that they wished to solve all grievances once and for all.
After hearing this, cultivators of Heavenly Mandate City rushed to the Heavenly Mandate Academy to witness this grand occasion with their very own eyes.
The last time the forces of the Nine Realms arrived, Lord Taixuan did not call for a meeting nor solve the issue. Instead, he was waiting for Ye Futian to return.
Now, Ye Futian had returned.
A sense of pride surged within the hearts of those from the Heavenly Mandate City. Who could have thought that the Heaven Mandate Realm, which was once deemed the weakest, would one day wield the authority to call upon the Nine Realms, including the most powerful—the Central Emperor Realm—with one single order?
Such glory was something that cultivators of Heavenly Mandate City dared not even think about in the past. But now, it was about to come true.
Everyone was patiently waiting, prepping to witness this glory.
Time went by slowly. After a long time, some forces finally arrived. The first to arrive was actually the force from the Central Emperor Realm. As people from the Heavenly Mandate Academy went through the teleportation grand matrix to convey the message, they were the fastest to arrive.
From the Central Emperor Realm came the Tianshen Academy, Martial God Clan, and the Sky Reaching School. The Shen Clan was destroyed, but the Celestial Worthy Temple was still standing. However, as the Celestial Worthy Temple was backed up by forces from the Upper World, they did not come. It was only natural that forces from the Upper World would never lower their heads and apologize. If Ye Futian wished to lead his alliance of aces to assault the Celestial Worthy Temple, all they had to do was give up temporarily.
The Shen Clan had already disbanded.
The few other forces, namely the Nantian Divine Kingdom, Yuanyang Clan, and Xiao Clan, were the Heavenly Mandate Academy’s allies, and they were already present within the academy.
“I, Jian Ao, have led the cultivators from the Tianshen Academy here to attend the assembly,” a voice came from beyond. A gust of cold was stirred up in the hearts of the Heavenly Mandate Academy’s cultivators. Jian Ao was indeed an extremely shameless person. He had seemingly forgotten everything that took place back in time.
“The Sky Reaching School is here.”
“The Martial God Clan is here.” The powerhouses from various forces spoke loudly. Their voices reverberated throughout the void.
“Please wait.”
From within the academy, a voice arose from above the great hall. It was Ye Futian’s voice. Thick and imbued with great penetrative force, it made the hearts of the aces inside the Heavenly Mandate Academy and outside the Heavenly Mandate City tremble.
With the arrival of many top aces, Ye Futian’s reply was only two words: “please wait.” He was asking for them to wait outside.
These top forces were all overweeningly arrogant in the past, and Ye Futian even once trained in Tianshen Academy. When did these forces ever place Ye Futian in their eyes? But what was happening here now, just after a few years?
Ye Futian asked them to wait outside.
What Jian Ao and the other aces were feeling right at this moment... Probably only they would know.
However, they were not at all furious. Their life was in the hands of Ye Futian. What kind of attitude could they have?
They could either leave and relinquish the faction they were in while it was notable that they would not necessarily succeed, or apologize and beg for peace!
