BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2406 - Travelling Far
Chapter 2406: Travelling Far
It was the year 10080 on the Divine Prefecture Calendar and the 80th year of cultivation for Ye Futian.
That day, under the starry night sky, Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were bathing under the starlight.
Both of their auras were rich and strong, their bodies shined magnificently, and divine light encircled them. Their planes had become deeper.
Ye Futian had reached the eighth-level Renhuang Plane. Just one more level and he would be at the peak of the Renhuang Plane. As for Hua Jieyu, she had already reached the ninth-plane after inheriting the Brahma’s Pure Sky Empress’s cultivation and her millions of incarnations. In the ensuing years, she had been stabilizing her cultivation plane, only deepening it when she found the inheritance of a Great Emperor.
Hua Jieyu had now truly reached peak ninth-level and was entering a bottleneck. If she went up just one more step, she would encounter the Three Tribulations.
Both of them stopped cultivating. As they watched the numerous figures cultivating under the starlight, all sorts of feelings and thoughts welled up in their hearts.
“More than ten years. It’s my first time cultivating for such a long time,” Ye Futian said softly. He’d never cultivated continuously for so long. But this time, he was forced to do so as he had to raise his power level. Dangers lurked everywhere out there, and many wanted him dead, forcing him to focus on strengthening his powers.
“Em,” Hua Jieyu nodded lightly. It was her first time cultivating for so long as well. Being under this starry sky and bathing under the divine might of a Great Emperor helped with gaining deeper understandings, which made it very suitable for cultivation.
“It’s already year 10080 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, and I’m reaching 100 years old soon. Time flies,” Ye Futian smiled as he spoke.
“Yeah, same for me,” Hua Jieyu smiled as well as she looked toward Ye Futian. They had known each other when it was year 10,000 on the Divine Prefecture Calendar. Back then, they were still teenagers. Now, they were almost 100 years old. It did make one feel a little sentimental.
Of course, it was extremely rare to have someone reach such a level of cultivation under 100. Their cultivation levels are rising far faster than their age, which made them both look really young. Ye Futian, with his fully white hair, still looked extraordinarily handsome, and his temperament alone would make him stand out in any crowd. He far surpassed his charm as a teenager. Hua Jieyu still looked stunningly beautiful. It was as if she was a Goddess of the Nine Heavens.
“Futian, Jieyu,” Zhuge Mingyue called out. “Y’all haven’t come down in a while.”
Beside her, Gu Dongliu’s aura was also starkly different from years ago. Not too long ago, he had reached seventh-level Renhuang Plane. Back then, he received an inheritance from the Demon Realm. Afterward, he received the inheritance of the Imperial Stars under this starry sky. While the opportunities he had encountered couldn’t compare to Ye Futian’s, it far surpassed the vast majority of cultivators in this world. Really, there were really not many who had such chances.
The cultivation levels of Xiao Muyu, Dou Zhao, Nan Luoshen, and others had also increased significantly. Of course, the one who had improved the fastest was Chen Yi, despite looking as if he never took anything seriously. There was a time when he was at a higher cultivation plane than Ye Futian. Even now, he was still on the same level as Ye Futian, reaching eighth-level Renhuang Plane.
Since becoming acquainted with Ye Futian in the Donghua Domain, this guy always had a sense of mystery surrounding him. Today, even Ye Futian felt that he couldn’t see through Chen Yi entirely.
Ye Futian knew that Chen Yi was the same as himself and held some secrets. But he never asked. After all, who didn’t have secrets? Chen Yi had saved his life before and treated him sincerely. To him, that was sufficient.
“Em, it was indeed a long cultivation session,” Ye Futian smiled as he nodded.
“Futian,” Old Ma, Blind Tie, and Lord Taixuan all walked over, and the group gathered together.
“Chief Elder, what’s happening outside now?” Ye Futian asked. Although he hadn’t paid attention to the outside world for more than ten years, Renhuang Chen regularly sought information from out there to be aware of the basic situation.
“It’s chaotic out there, but many relics have surfaced. Many of the organizations had made great gains, including Emperor-level inheritance. This turbulent era is the best and the worst at the same time,” Renhuang Chen said.
“Em,” Ye Futian nodded, opportunities tend to appear in times of chaos.
“But, after so many years, many people had left the Original Realm and returned to where they came from. Especially the top forces who had already obtained the relics of Great Emperors. They didn’t dare to stay as they feared being targeted by everyone else, and they knew not to be greedy. As a result, the number of forces in the Original Realm has been gradually decreasing.” Renhuang Chen continued, “The conflicts between various worlds never stopped, but they also didn’t launch an all-out war. Perhaps it isn’t time yet.”
“How about the Heavenly Mandate Realm? How are they now?” Ye Futian asked.
“The situation at the Heavenly Mandate realm isn’t looking good now,” Renhuang Chen said nonchalantly. Ye Futian had an idea what that meant, so he didn’t ask more about it. Without the Heavenly Mandate Academy, of course the Heavenly Mandate Realm wouldn’t be doing well.
“Futian, what are your plans after this? Continue to cultivate and raise your power levels?” Lord Taixuan asked.
Ye Futian had already reached the eighth-level Renhuang Plane. Even amongst all Renhuang Plane cultivators, it would be hard to match him equally. But out there, there were many Tribulation Level cultivators and even terrifyingly powerful individuals like Fang Ru.
They were still a little lacking if they wanted to venture out there. Amongst them, there were no apex-level cultivators to protect Ye Futian.
“Nope,” Ye Futian shook his head. “After cultivating for so many years, I feel that I’m improving at a slower rate; it must be that I’m encountering a bottleneck. Jieyu had reached peak-level Renhuang Plane and needs an opportunity to break the shackles of the Renhuang Plane. So I would like to travel far.”
There were still too many dangers in the Original Realm so that they couldn’t venture at ease. Ye Futian was actually planning to leave the Original Realm to travel.
“Travel far?” The cultivators were a little startled. They asked, “Where?”
“First, we’ll visit the Divine Prefecture. I need to return to Four Corner Village for a bit. Afterward, perhaps we will travel to the Western World,” Ye Futian answered.
“The Western World?” A rather surprised expression appeared on the cultivators’ faces. The Western World was unfamiliar to them, and all they knew was that Donghuang the Great once went there to cultivate. Why would Ye Futian want to go there?
Behind the crowd, Hua Qingqing’s pretty eyes showed surprise. Could it be because of her?
Jieyu knew about her, so ye Futian probably knew too, which was why he wanted to travel to the Western World.
“Em, the Western World is the safest as well, relatively speaking,” Ye Futian said. He had never had a conflict with the Western World before, and no one knew about his existence there.
Of course, other than going out there to experience the world, it was partly because of Hua Qingqing.
The cultivators nodded. Ye Futian does need to travel far this time.
“Master, I’ll go too, “Xiao Muyu said.
“And me.” Dou Zhao and the others spoke up as well. They all wanted to follow Ye Futian.
“We don’t need this many people for the trip this time; it will make us a big target, and that will make the affair rather dangerous. You guys should focus on cultivating and raising your power level to reach the peak of the Renhuang Plane as soon as possible.” Ye Futian rejected their request; he didn’t plan on taking a lot of people with him.
“Uncle Tie and I shall follow you. We can look after you,” Old Ma said.
“Uncle Tie would be good enough. With Hua Jieyu and my current cultivation level, it’s actually already sufficient. Qingqing wants to follow us. That’s why we would need some extra help,” Ye Futian said. Old Ma didn’t say more. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu’s levels were indeed stronger than anybody else’s now.
“Then I’ll follow you guys back to the village. I haven’t seen Little Ling for so long,” Old Ma said.
“Yeah, Little Ling, Fang Cun, and the other kids... They are probably all grown up by now. With the master teaching them cultivation, they’re probably all pretty strong now,” Ye Futian smiled as he said.
“I’ll go too.” It was Chen Yi. Ye Futian looked toward him. Chen Yi’s cultivation level was similar to his, so it wouldn’t be a problem.
“Since we’re traveling far, before heading to the Western World, could you accompany me somewhere first,” Chen Yi asked Ye Futian. It was the first time he had spontaneously asked Ye Futian to go there.
“Sure.” Ye Futian nodded without having too many queries. He asked, “Where do you want to go?”
“Divine Prefecture, Great Bright Domain,” Chen Yi answered.
“Great Bright Domain!” A sense of astonishment appeared in Ye Futian’s eyes. He turned toward Chen Yi and asked, “You came from the Great Bright Domain?”
Chen Yi cultivated the Way of Light. Based on that, it was indeed possible that he had come from the Great Bright Domain.
The Great Bright Domain was one of the 18 domains of the Divine Prefecture. However, this domain was unique in that it had an exceptionally glorious history. It was mysterious and ancient. But now, it was said to be the most decrepit domain in the Divine Prefecture. The Great Bright Domain had been ravaged by time to the point that it didn’t even have a ruler-class organization.
But looking into history, the Great Bright Domain was once the most glorious domain in the Divine Prefecture. Of Course, back then, it wasn’t even known as the Divine Prefecture.
Instead, it was known as the Divine Bright Domain.
Chen Yi wanted to go to the Great Bright Domain.
“Thank you,” Chen Yi thanked Ye Futian. He appeared to be rather serious. Ye Futian immediately understood that this was likely one of Chen Yi’s secrets. While he looked like he didn’t take anything seriously, he was likely hiding dark secrets deep down.
But why did he venture into the Donghua Domain back then?
“When are you departing?” Lord Taixuan asked.
“In a few days. I’ll visit my teachers and leave a clone of my consciousness before leaving. Would you please continue with your cultivation? There is no need to worry about me,” Ye Futian said. It wasn’t a huge deal, so there was no need to be so solemn. After he had made proper arrangements, he would leave straightaway.
The cultivators nodded, then Ye Futian rose into the air and flew into the starry skies as a magnificent divine light erupted from him. Afterward, the stars shined as many of Ye Futian’s projections appeared. Amongst them was a projection of him sitting in a cross-legged stance under the starry sky. He looked tranquil. It was as if he were merging with the starry sky.
All these years, no one came to disturb him because no one dared to do so. Ye Futian was able to control the celestial stars of the skies and borrow the Will of the Great Emperor in battle. He was basically invincible in this Segmentum, so who would be so bold to come for him?
But now that he was leaving, naturally, he had to make some preparations for the unpredictable. After all, he didn’t know how many years this trip would take.
This wasn’t just traveling far in the conventional sense; he was crossing the entire world!
