Chapter 2319: Relic of the Cultivators
After that, the cultivator from Song Imperial City left as well and did not linger on much. His goal was to befriend the Heavenly Mandate Academy, but it was still premature to form an alliance. Ye Futian had also made his stance very clear in regards to the alliance. It was necessary for those interested in this alliance to follow him in declaring war on the Dark World.
This was a precarious business. What’s more, even though the cultivator from Song Imperial City was optimistic about Ye Futian’s future and heaped praises upon him, these were just superficial gestures. He knew very well that Ye Futian’s position was, in fact, very unstable.
Now that the Original Realm had attracted the attention of all the realms, the Devil World and other forces had descended closed behind each other, which meant that the Original Realm had become the center of an impending storm. Ye Futian and the Heavenly Mandate Academy were the center of the Original Realm. They were the ones in charge of it, and everyone knew what that meant. If he wanted to climb towards imperial eminence, it would be a difficult journey fraught with many life and death situations.
It sufficed to say there would be many narrow escapes on this journey.
The fact was that Ye Futian was not some exception. Out of all those many splendid talents, who wanted to be on the road to becoming another Great Emperor, how many of them actually succeeded? After the collapse of the heavenly path, the Great Path suffered considerable damage, and the road to becoming the Great Emperor was blocked. Many had perished on this already thorny journey. How many among them had really reached their goal?
Ye Futian had endless potential, but there were also innumerable dangers.
Ye Futian himself didn’t dwell so much on these thoughts. He understood some of these things, but it didn’t do any good to think obsessively about them. The only way ahead was forward. Today’s conversation with the cultivator from Song Imperial City revealed some things about the top figures and the top principalities of this world.
There were the Divine Prefecture from the east, the Western Heavenly World, the ancient Heaven Realm, the Empty Divine Realm, the Devil world, the Dark World, and the Human Realm, which was the center of the world at the time when the heavenly path collapsed.
The rulers of these seven worlds, especially the Ancient God Clan from ancient times, represented the pinnacle of the cultivation world. They were the only ones who had the privilege to speak for the entire world; they were the existence that decided the rules of the world.
And the Domain Chief’s Manors of all 18 domains and those top principalities were just secondary players; they were merely managing the world for them.
He now had control over the Heavenly Mandate Academy and Ziwei Imperial Palace, but he still had a long way to go. If the teacher hadn’t scared off those men, there were still many principalities in this world who could have destroyed the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Just one existence had survived the second divine tribulation. It would be tough enough for them to overcome, no matter how rare the existence was at this level. The Divine Prefecture was not without them, and whatever the Divine Prefecture had, it only stood to reason that other worlds must have some of them as well.
Furthermore, he had mentioned those unknown existences in his conversation with the other. Who knows? Perhaps, the cultivator from Song Imperial City had something that he didn’t yet make fully known to Ye Futian. After all, it did have involvements at a higher level, so the other man might be more cautious in what to reveal.
The road ahead of him was long. It seemed that he had to cultivate to the top of Renhuang before he could have some credibility. At that time, with the help of the physical body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, he may be able to explode with extraordinary power. But for the moment, he was limited to defeating existences of the firsts level of the Great Path Divine Realm and subjected to considerable backlash if he leveraged the physical body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. He had no idea how many years it would take him to set foot on the peak of Renhuang.
After the Devil World and Song Imperial City cultivators left, Heavenly Mandate Academy returned to normal, and Ye Futian continued to cultivate quietly while paying close attention to the changes in the outside world.
Every few days, someone would arrive to report the latest from the outside world, and every time there were new movements in the Original Realm. For example, somebody had excavated and discovered the relics of the Great Emperor, and that some principalities had even obtained the relics of the Great Emperor.
When Ye Futian heard about this, though he was enticed, he did not intend to fight for them.
He had already reaped a lot from before, and that alone was enough for the others to look at him sideways. If he wanted to take all of the inheritances, he would only put himself in harm’s way and become a target of public outrage. On the contrary, if each of the top forces took some of these relics from the Great Emperor, he would attract far less attention, sticking out like a sore thumb.
On this day, Ye Futian, Lord Taixuan, Emperor Nan, and the others were gathered together.
In the courtyard, Ye Futian presided over their meeting. Although he was younger, he was now the College Chief of Heavenly Mandate Academy—the ruler of all of the Original Realm. So even the elders had to defer to him. Everyone was working toward the same objective—assisting Ye Futian to reach the pinnacle of the cultivation world.
Because of this objective, these top figures were able to move forward as a team. Although their ultimate goals and beliefs were different, at the moment, they adhered to the same objective. Ye Futian was the One they had chosen from a long time ago, and they were now more certain than ever.
“In addition to the cultivators from the Devil World, the cultivators from the Human Realm have also appeared. Today, only the cultivators from Heaven Realm and the World of Buddhism from the west have yet to make their appearances. But the Heaven Realm was known to be secretive, so perhaps they have already arrived without us knowing,” Emperor Nan continued. After the Devil World, the cultivators from the Human Realm had also descended in the Original Realm.
All the worlds had gradually made their way to the land of the Original Realm; what kind of storm would be waiting for them?
“Are there many cultivators from the Human Realm?” Ye Futian questioned.
“Not much for the time being, but there must be more that we don’t know about. Now, the news had spread to the Original Realm, the cultivation world in the Original Realm is about to boil over. The situation today is comparable to the one in the past,” said Emperor Nan. “Actually, because of the changes currently taking place in the Original Realm, the situation at hand has far exceeded the one in the past. Back then, not many cultivators came to the Original Realm. The two just couldn’t be compared.”
Emperor Nan, however, was a cultivator who had experienced that turbulence 300 or 400 three or four hundred years ago.
“The rumor has it that the Human Realm was once the center of all the worlds after the collapse of the heavenly path and the place of blessings for human cultivators. The supreme Great Emperor of the Human Realm is called the Human Ancestor, whose name speaks volumes of his importance. All the cultivators who came from the Human Realm this time were said to possess the aura of the Human Ancestor—an abundance of righteousness.” Emperor Nan continued, “I also heard that the Human Realm claimed to be the most orthodox of the cultivation world.”
Ye Futian nodded. He also wanted to take a look at all the cultivators from all the worlds. The Human Realm was the center of the world, formed after the collapse of the heavenly path. He was curious how the cultivation world there would compare to the one at Divine Prefecture. How would their cultivators compare to the one from Divine Prefecture?
“In addition to the arrival of cultivators from all major worlds, many amazing relics have also appeared. And now, evidence of human cultivators has appeared in one of the most important sites,” said Emperor Nan.
Ye Futian’s eyes sharpened slightly. “Same as the Ziwei Segmentum?”
“Exactly.” Emperor Nan nodded. The same world as Ziwei Segmentum had appeared. What could all this mean?
