Chapter 2193: The One Who Injured Lord Taixuan

Ye Futian didn’t care what the others thought. He surveyed the crowd and was surprised to find an acquaintance among the people.

Suddenly, Ye Futian’s eyes sharpened as he focused on that figure in white.

This middle-aged man in white came to the Original Realm more than 20 years ago and had participated in many battles afterward. He was a cultivator from the Holy Land of Taichu in the Divine Prefecture of the Upper Worlds. Once upon a time, he had taken the cultivators of Taichu Holy Land and intended to preach in the Heavenly Mandate Academy then take over direct control of the Academy, making it into one of the many branches of Taichu Holy Land.

In those 20 years, had he left and came back again? Or had he been in the Original Realm all along?

The middle-aged man in white clearly saw Ye Futian as well. His eyes had been following Ye Futian, the Renhuang Sixth Realm with perfect Great Path.

Back then, when Ye Futian was “killed,” he was in the Second Realm of Renhuang. In 20 short years, he had crossed four major realms. This cultivation speed was unbelievably fast, something that even the top enchanting genius in Taichu Holy Land could barely follow.

Of course, more importantly, Ye Futian didn’t even die.

How could Ye Futian still be alive?

In that battle, various forces had participated, and they all witnessed Ye Futian hunted down in the attack. Back then, even the space itself was torn apart. There were a series of terrible spatial fissures that buried Ye Futian within them. In such a fierce battle, with lethal attacks from major figureheads, how could he have survived?

However, Ye Futian was now in front of him. He brought with him the cultivators from Divine Prefecture.

He had spent most of these years in the Original Realm, studying the situation here. All great changes in the world would begin in the Original Realm. This was something he had heard when he was still in the Holy Land of Taichu. That was the precise reason why the Taichu Holy Land had come here 20 years ago, wanting to preach here and take root in the Original Realm; he wanted to observe all the changes taking place here closely.

Until now, more and more forces had arrived from Divine Prefecture. In addition, the Dark World, the Empty Divine Realm, and many other realms had infiltrated in the shadows. All the forces realized that after nearly 400 years of peace. The world might experience a new round of unrest, and the starting point could very possibly be the Original Realm. And all these principalities wanted to seize this opportunity.

It could be said that the Original Realm had already sunk into chaos nowadays, and all foreign cultivation forces had come to prey upon them.

“You’re not dead?” the middle-aged man in white said as he looked at Ye Futian. Many forces had participated in that battle back then. If they had seen Ye Futian standing here, what would they think? Perhaps they would be even more astonished than he was.

Ye Futian looked at the middle-aged man in white and saw that he was rather calm. He came from the Holy Land of Taichu in the Divine Prefecture, and this holy land was not just any ordinary top-level principality. It was a preaching force in the Upper Worlds of Divine Prefecture, and its power may be at a more transcendent level than most. Therefore, although he was surprised to see that Ye Futian had survived, he did not seem to dwell upon this disturbing fact.

At least, as a Renhuang of the Sixth Realm, he was not yet a threat to the Holy Land of Taichu.

“I was lucky. You guys opened the spatial tunnel that allowed me to go to the Divine Prefecture,” Ye Futian replied with a smile.

“It’s impossible.” The middle-aged man in white stared at Ye Futian. He was there at that battle. The spatial fissure only appeared after the attack. In other words, those aggressive attacks had torn through the space. The attack had fallen upon Ye Futian first, then tore through the space.

How were attacks able to tear through space not able to kill Ye Futian?

This made no sense at all.

“If it’s impossible, then what am I?” Ye Futian smiled. The middle-aged in white suddenly doubted his own judgment. Facts spoke for themselves. Ye Futian was standing in front of him now. If that was impossible, then what or what was the person standing in front of him?

Ye Futian was standing here, alive. And not long ago, he had hunted down a giant figure, the Hierophant of Mithraism. He had demonstrated superior combat effectiveness, easily obliterating a group of Renhuang.

Among the Renhuang killed by Ye Futian, there were those at the Ninth Realm, which was considered at the peak of Renhuang. Even without perfect Great Path, the combat power at this level was far superior. So, why were they so easily killed by Ye Futian?

The Holy Land of Taichu was a preaching holy land, and they did a lot of studies on various realms. Cultivators with perfect Great Path at the Sixth Realm could deal with ordinary Renhuang of the Eighth Realm. But as a basic rule, they would have difficulty in dealing with those in the Ninth Realm. That was unless they were naturally gifted individuals with outstanding combat effectiveness.

Perfect Great Path alone did not explain the ease he had killing Renhuang in the Ninth Realm, a feat that could not be achieved unless the person was an unparalleled talent. This meant that this white-haired young man, who was once known as the number one genius talent in the Original Realm, remained a top-notch figure in all of the Divine Prefecture.

The middle-aged man in white fell silent. Naturally, Ye Futian did not forget the events that had taken place in the past. It seemed that this guy could not be spared and that a great battle in the Original Realm was likely.

However, looking at Ye Futian’s entourage, it seemed that it was more difficult than ever to kill Ye Futian. He had even brought two major figureheads with him, worthy of his reputation as a genius talent.

“The ancient royal family of Duan from the Shangqing Domain.” The old man in the white robe looked at Duan Tianxiong. He then directed his attention to Old Ma and said, “And this one, which force in the Shangqing Domain is this one from?”

“Four Corner Village,” Old Ma replied.

“Four Corner Village…”

Those cultivators from Divine Prefecture looked at Old Ma. Clearly, they had heard of Four Corner Village before.

The same was true for the old man in the white robe. Four Corner Village in the Shangqing Domain was not a top principality before, but the Great Emperor favored it. It was rumored that Donghuang the Great had once gone to Four Corner Village to seek the Way before becoming the Great Emperor, therefore forging a relationship with the village.

But he was not clear as to what changes had taken place inside Four Corner Village. And since when had the giants from Four Corner Village started to leave the village?

However, the other cultivators from Divine Prefecture frowned. Before they came to the Original Realm, a major event had occurred in the Shangqing Domain of Divine Prefecture. Because this matter involved those whose existence was on the level of the Ancient Emperor, the news spread quickly to other domains.

Regarding the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

One of the cultivators of Divine Prefecture set his eyes on Ye Futian, assessing him seriously before asking, “Are you that person in the Shangqing Domain who was the only one to observe the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor?”

Ye Futian glanced at the man; he didn’t expect this matter as common knowledge among the top figures in other Domains of Divine Prefecture.

But it might as well. That battle in Four Corner Village had a strong deterrent effect.

“Indeed, it was me,” Ye Futian replied.

That cultivator’s eyes sharpened slightly. There was not much information about Ye Futian. What they had heard the most was that just before they went to the Lower Worlds, all the major principalities of the Shangqing Domain descended upon Four Corner Village and coerced it with great pressure. However, they returned with their tails between their legs. One of the most powerful forces in the Shangqing Domain, the clan leader of the Nanhai Family, was grievously injured by a single blow. Moreover, that mysterious figure in Four Corner Village had activated the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

This made Four Corner Village even more mysterious. And that teacher from Four Corner Village was an unfathomable figure.

They had never expected that this enchanting genius talent, who could perceive the sacred remains and who was connected to Four Corner Village, was actually involved with the Heavenly Mandate Academy in the Lower Worlds. No wonder he was so daring as to slaughter the Mithraism Hierophant outright. It seemed that he had the backing of that mysterious cultivator inside Four Corner Village.

This Heavenly Mandate Realm was no longer so easy to provoke.

The middle-aged man in white from the Holy Land of Taichu frowned. He had not heard of this event before. It seemed that Ye Futian had also caused quite a stir in the land of Divine Prefecture.

But all the giants from the Upper Worlds were now becoming a little more cautious.

“In the future, we will no longer participate in the matter regarding Heavenly Mandate Realm. How about we forget all the unpleasantness from the past?” a top figure from Divine Prefecture said. With Four Corner Village behind Ye Futian as support, there was no need to engage with them. They would simply avoid the Heavenly Mandate Realm in the future.

Ye Futian stared at the man who spoke. If he allowed this, who was going to be responsible for injuring Lord Taixuan?

“That will work.” But Lord Taixuan of the Heavenly Mandate Academy responded, “Everyone, withdraw from the Heavenly Mandate City henceforth, and we will forget about what happened before.”

Although he could see that Ye Futian had made some connections outside, he did not want Ye Futian to make too many enemies. This battle had killed the Mithraism Hierophant and attracted the attention of these people already. If they really wanted to, they would undoubtedly unite against them. Coupled with enemies of Heavenly Mandate Academy from before, who had been eyeing them all these years and had been pressuring their allies in the Ziwei Realm as well as the Imperial Realm. If they continued making enemies, the pressure would only increase.

And now, with chaos at hand, his injury was nothing by comparison. He only hoped that Ye Futian’s return could save the Heavenly Mandate Academy and ensure its survival in the challenging times ahead.

Ye Futian looked at Lord Taixuan, who had come to his side. He transmitted his voice to Ye Futian, “Without them, there will be other forces. Let it go. If you really want to, remember the person who injured me, and wait until you reach the top of Renhuang Realm, then you can do what you please with him.”

“Who was it?” Ye Futian asked. This was the first time that Lord Taixuan had mentioned the person who injured him. Before, Emperor Nan had said that many forces were involved, but the person who caused Lord Taixuan to be injured by the Great Path would be the one who actually struck him.

“He is not in the Heavenly Mandate Realm now, and at present, none of us can deal with him. For the time being, just leave it alone; you can avenge me later.” Lord Taixuan was very cautious. Clearly, the opponent this time was formidable, and he was worried that Ye Futian would act impulsively.

“Very well.” Ye Futian nodded in response.

“In the Holy Land of Taichu, the master of Taichu Sparring Grounds was someone with monstrous cultivation. Even Emperor Nan was unequivocally suppressed when facing him. If he is determined to attack the Heavenly Mandate Academy, it will be difficult for the Academy to exist. But this man was haughty beyond imagination and cared not to attack anyone below the level of figureheads, so he did not unleash his lethal attacks. Not long ago, because of something that happened elsewhere, he left for the time being. But the threat this man poses to the Heavenly Mandate Academy is a frightening thought,” Lord Taixuan said via voice transmission.

Ye Futian was deeply surprised. It appeared that he needed to understand from Duan Tianxiong just how strong the Holy Land of Taichu, this preaching holy land in the Divine Prefecture, really was. The master of Taichu Sparring Grounds should be the elder of Mu Qingke, who had fought him once and would be the strongest person who came to the Holy Land of Taichu this time. No wonder Lord Taixuan had been secretive about the identity of the person who injured him.

Even though he had brought two cultivators, Lord Taixuan knew that it was tough to deal with that transcendent existence from the Holy Land of Taichu!
