“Great Emperor!”

An existence at the Imperial Realm from ancient times?

In that era, Gods plummeted. However, for countless years, it was unknown if the Ancient Gods still existed. The sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor, The Will of Great Emperor Ziwei from the Ziwei Segmentum… These were all remnants of the Age of the Gods.

In this world, there were bound to be many ancient remnants. Those standing at the pinnacle of the world of cultivation would know more about these secrets.

Therefore, was Four Corner Village hiding a Great Emperor from view?

However, they figured that even if Four Corner Village’s master was once a Great Emperor, he could never be a “complete” Great Emperor. Otherwise, he would not have secluded himself in Four Corner Village for so many years. So there had to be something that they were oblivious to.

A true Great Emperor could kill others with his very mind; there was no need to borrow the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Hence, the master of Four Corner Village had to be under some restrictions.

But no matter the case, at least before them right now, he was invincible.

Among the powerhouses, the minds of those from the Shangqing Domain were the most intensely affected. An existence that might be a Great Emperor was hiding in Four Corner Village. What would this imply?

When they remembered that they joined forces to attack Four Corner Village in the past, they felt a little ridiculous. As the master was in closed-door training, he did not do anything during their first assault. Should the master truly desire to kill, no cultivator who participated in the raid on Four Corner Village would be able to leave alive.

Muyun Long and Muyun Lan were present among the aces of the Nanhai family. At this moment, waves of horror were stirred up in their hearts. Was he the true master?

Their understanding of the master was just superficial.

Muyun Long even once thought about replacing the master’s position in the village and controlling Four Corner Village. Thinking about it right now, it felt just like a joke. He actually thought about replacing someone who was a literal God. What was he thinking?

Besides, they led the Muyun family to break away from Four Corner Village because of their ambition.

Muyun Lan felt the same. He was arrogant and proclaimed himself to be a person of unparalleled talent. He became famous across the Shangqing Domain, joined the Nanhai family by marrying a daughter of theirs, and lived a life of glory. He was once the master’s disciple and was very respectful towards him. However, due to what took palace back then, he severed the respect and emotion he shared with him.

Thinking about it at this moment, it turned out that nothing was beyond the master’s control. He could see everything vividly, as he was all-knowing; however, he would never interfere.

All until the appearance of Ye Futian!

The last two times he showed up were all related to Ye Futian, especially this one. Because Ye Futian was in danger, he came all the way from the Divine Prefecture, descended upon this realm, and saved Ye Futian.

Therefore, just like Shenjia the Great Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei, had the master selected Ye Futian?

Why would that happen?

What was so special about Ye Futian that gave him such unbelievable luck? Those figures from ancient times, whether it be the fallen Gods or Great Emperor Ziwei, whose remnant will still remained, had all chosen Ye Futian.

He was given control of the sacred remain, Ziwei the Great Emperor allowed him to control the Ziwei Segmentum, and the master was willing to come out from the village to shock the people of this world.

The white-haired youth had the favor of a thousand amassed on himself. Was this a coincidence?

Or could it be that he had shocking talent?

Nobody understood why. Muyun Lan did not understand why he could not gain the favor of so many of these figures.

Was he not the Child of Destiny?

The interspace reverted to its quietness from before. Nobody dared to make a move. The body of Shenjia the Great Emperor levitated in the air as the master looked around the vicinity without so much as a single ripple in his eyes.

Previously, a mere glance from him bested the Taichu Saint Emperor. Who would be bold enough to make a move against someone at such a transcendent level in cultivation?

Besides, they all understood that if the master willed it to happen, that blow from just now could kill the Taichu Saint Emperor immediately, but he did not do so, just like that time he was outside Four Corner Village. Facing the powerhouses who were raiding the village, he did not proceed to reap away lives. Instead, all he did was severely injure the patriarch of the Nanhai family.

The master preached kindness in the village, and it seemed that he was as equally as benevolent when he was outside. Even towards enemies, he would not attack with the intent to kill.

At this moment, rays of Divine Light showered down amid the void. It was so gorgeous that it compelled many to lift their heads and look at light sprinkling down from the sky. Over there, figures descended from the high above and hovered in the void.

The Divine Light was dazzling. The leader of the entities was an indescribably beautiful and striking woman. She was so noble and pure that people only dared to look at her without harboring a single thought of disrespect.

Seeing the appearance of this figure, many bowed slightly and saluted her. Many top aces across the Divine Prefecture opened their mouths and said, “Your Highness.”

That woman who arrived was the only daughter of Donghuang the Great—Princess Donghuang.

Princess Donghuang could be seen looking at the crowd, and, at last, her gaze fell onto the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. She strode forward towards it while the many powerhouses behind her followed. They arrived at the space not far in front of the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor.

Under everyone’s gazes of surprise, Princess Donghuang bowed gently, facing the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor. With great respect, she said, “Master.”

Seeing this, mild ripples coursed through the hearts of the Divine Prefecture’s powerhouses. The princess arrived and bowed to him as a gesture of respect. From this, one could discern the master’s social status. It seemed that the rumors were true. When Donghuang the Great cultivated in Four Corner Village, the master was probably the one who guided him.

With the existence of this relationship, the status of Four Corner Village was obvious.

It seemed that the ban Donghuang the Great previously issued was not to let anybody disturb Four Corner Village and the master’s cultivation. Subsequently, Four Corner Village decided to affiliate themselves with the world, and Donghuang the Great lifted the ban because he knew that as long as the master was present, no one would be able to lay their fingers on Four Corner Village.

The funny thing was that many aces of the Shangqing Domain attacked the village due to the ban being lifted.

“No need to be so courteous, princess,” the master replied. Princess Donghuang opened her mouth and said, “You’ve once taught my father, so I must bow to you when I see you.”

“That happened so many years ago. It isn’t worth mentioning,” the master said casually.

“My father always remembered your teachings, master,” Princess Donghuang said with a smile. Subsequently, she turned around and looked at the aces of the Divine Prefecture. The softness she had instantly vanished, replaced by a sense of chilling awe. Like a Goddess, she swept her eyes coldly across those aces of the Divine Prefecture.

“The passage to the Original Realm opened, and the aces across 18 domains are summoned, and this what you ended up doing. You’re even about to join forces with Dark World and Empty Divine Realm,” Prince Donghuang chided. When her chilling voice sounded, the powerhouses were as silent as a winter cicada. Although those top aces were not afraid of Princess Donghuang, they dared not to provoke her blatantly. Should they infuriate the imperial family, who could afford to bear the consequences?!
