The Legend of Futian Chapter 1947 - Handover

Chapter 1947: Handover

The issue had come to a close. The storm that started because of an exchange finally ended with the elimination of two top forces of the Penglai Continent. Many people lamented the end of these two clans. As expected, they had to remember this lesson and not be too full of themselves. Even until his death, Jun Qiuyan most likely had never imagined that him acting condescending towards a lower-level Renhuang would actually result in such an end for himself. It was so embarrassing.
The cultivators from various continents still did not leave. A senior figure from the Shangguan clan came to Ye Futian with Shangguan Qiuye following behind him. He smiled and said, “I am Shangguan Yun, Qiuye’s uncle. I have heard that Little Friend Ye’s talents are peerless and that you are handsome and charming. Now that I have met you today, you are even more outstanding than I imagined.”
This Shangguan Yun had a cultivation at the eighth-tier. He was indeed impressed with Ye Futian’s performance. The new generation replaced the old one. In the battle, Ye Futian had yet to display his full abilities. Eastern Deity Island had helped him settle the issue. No one knew what level of combat ability this lower-level Renhuang truly had.
“Senior, you speak too highly of me,” Ye Futian responded with a smile. “Miss Shangguan also stands head and shoulders above others.”
“Far from it,” the middle-aged man answered with a smile. “When we were talking about you before, this little girl Qiuye admired you very much. She kept praising you in front of my elder brother, non-stop. My elder brother also wishes for her to learn more from Little Friend Ye in the future.”
“My cultivation is still low. What could she possibly learn from me?” Ye Futian replied.
“With such combat prowess, your level of cultivation does not matter. When you become an upper-level Renhuang, who could contend with you at the Renhuang Plane?” Shangguan Yun exclaimed. “Qiuye’s father has headed over to Jun clan. When this whole incident is over, Little Friend Ye must come over to Shangguan clan and be our guest.”
“If the opportunity arises, I certainly will,” Ye Futian replied with a nod. Shangguan Qiuye pouted her mouth as she heard the two of them exchange pleasantries. She had come to understand what sort of fellow this Ye Futian was while she was on Eastern Deity Island. One should never be fooled by his looks. This person was decisive. When he acted cruelly, he struck fear in people’s hearts. Had Ye Futian not arranged the end of Jun clan every step of the way?
This fellow might have already planned everything when he entered Eastern Deity Island. He might have planned to rely on Eastern Deity Island to eliminate the Jun clan. Of course, ordinary people couldn’t persuade Eastern Deity Island to aid them. He had such qualifications, and Eastern Deity Island was willing to attack the Jun clan for him.
“Renhuang Ye’s abilities are indeed unmatched,” another person said as they walked over. It was the young city lord of Wushang City, Liu Qing. Before this, on the chessboard, they were brutally pushed around. Now that he had witnessed Ye Futian’s true combat ability, he was convinced. This fellow was truly terrifying.
Ye Futian nodded at Liu Qing and replied, “You are no slouch yourself.”
“Far from it. Previously, I believed that the chess match held me back. Now I understand that if it weren’t for the chessboard, I would have lost even more miserably. I would not even be qualified to have an exchange with you,” Liu Qing said with a bitter smile. Before this, a group of Jun clan seventh-tier cultivators had joined forces. They had all been instantly killed by Ye Futian. Liu Qing still knew his own strength.
Ye Futian smiled but did not respond. When the difference between abilities was slight, one might feel dissatisfied. However, when the difference was insurmountable, people of the same generation as Ye Futian could only admire and be impressed by him. It was because they would not be able to surpass Ye Futian.
“If the opportunity arises, I hope I can ask Renhuang Ye for a few pointers,” said the young city lord of Wushang City, Liu Qing. Ye Futian nodded his head slightly and said, “Sure.”
Liu Qing saluted with his fists and said, “May we meet again.”
“May we meet again,” Ye Futian replied with a nod. Liu Qing then turned to leave. The cultivators of Wushang City also left in a flash. They also needed to return.
After this event, the situation in the Penglai Continent would change. It was just that no one knew Eastern Deity Island’s stance. If Eastern Deity Island wanted to dominate the Penglai Continent, no other force would be able to stand against it.
Not long after, news arrived from the Jun clan and Yun clan.
“Let’s head back,” Ye Futian said as he turned to leave. He actually headed back in the direction of Eastern Deity Island. With the close of this incident, the hidden dangers of the outside world had been resolved and would no longer threaten the Dongyuan Pavilion.
Beigong Ao and Emperor Helian followed Ye Futian. Many alchemy masters also joined him. Their eyes were exceptionally bright when they looked at Ye Futian. This fellow was a treasure. They needed to properly develop him and teach him to concoct pills, though many of them would not necessarily be able to refine pills of a higher grade than Ye Futian.
Nevertheless, Ye Futian still had enormous potential that could be extracted. He needed to be properly guided. When his cultivation increased, his attainments in refining pills would also increase. He would be a walking treasure trove in the future.
When they saw Ye Futian’s group leave, the cultivators from various continents and the Penglai Continent in the distance also dispersed and left. Although this incident had affected the future situation in the Penglai Continent, for the other cultivators, it did not affect them much. They would do what they needed to. Ye Futian’s ability also moved them greatly. They were inspired to properly cultivate and improve themselves.
Ye Futian alone had cultivated so many powers of the Great Path. He had also achieved mastery in all of them. His might was terrifying. The cultivators felt that their own cultivation, which they were proud of, could not hold a candle to Ye Futian’s cultivation.
The Penglai Continent still had many trading places. The other cultivators would see whether they could find a treasure suitable for their cultivation to bring back and train hard for a period of time.
As for Ye Futian, he returned once again to Eastern Deity Island. Bai Mu and the others were all beside him. Ye Futian said to Beigong Ao and Emperor Helian, “Seniors, the matters here have been settled. I might not be returning to the Dongyuan Pavilion. Why don’t I hand over the Dongyuan Pavilion to the two of you?”
“You are not returning?” Beigong Ao exclaimed, stunned. He was still hoping for Ye Futian to act as Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. After all, Ye Futian might become a legendary figure in the future.
However, after considering Ye Futian’s potential, Beigong Ao clearly understood. The Dongyuan Pavilion most likely could not make Ye Futian stay. He did not belong to that continent. How could a nameless continent hold a true dragon like him?
“Hmm,” Ye Futian replied with a nod. He naturally came to the Divine Prefecture to train in order to steadily increase his abilities and constantly aim for even higher levels of attainment. The Dongyuan Pavilion was just a stepping stone. Now, the Eastern Deity Island was more suitable for his next stage of cultivating.
“Beigong’s cultivation is higher than mine,” Emperor Helian said. “If Pavilion Master is not planning to return, Dongyuan Pavilion should be handed over to Beigong. There is no one more powerful than he is on the continent now.”
Ye Futian nodded and said, “Senior Beigong is indeed more suitable to be Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. Senior Helian can stay for a while on Eastern Deity Island and cultivate here.”
“Alright,” Emperor Helian answered. He understood that Ye Futian wanted to help him. Eastern Deity Island contained many fateful encounters as well as materials and treasures. Asking him to stay and cultivate for a period of time naturally was Ye Futian hoping to provide benefits for his cultivation.
Beigong Ao revealed a look of deep thought. He seemed to have an idea. After a moment of silence, he said, “Pavilion Master.”
“Hmm?” Ye Futian asked as he looked at Beigong Ao.
“Previously, I had always wished to control the Dongyuan Pavilion. Yet, now, I seem to have lost interest in the position of Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. This time, after returning to the continent and the Dongyuan Pavilion, I plan to follow Pavilion Master to cultivate once I have settled matters back home. What do you think?” Beigong Ao said. He believed that following Ye Futian was even more precious than the position of Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master.
Emperor Helian was stunned. His footsteps slowed down. Beigong Ao was already at the eighth-tier now. He was the continent’s top cultivator. It was natural for him to control the Dongyuan Pavilion. He was the top figure of the continent. What an honor that was.
Emperor Helian was envious of Beigong Ao. Yet, the other party had changed his mind and gave up all this. Beigong Ao was willing to follow Ye Futian and cultivate by his side. He was aware that by following Ye Futian, he was destined to be unknown. Many cultivators would certainly gather around Ye Futian. Ye Futian’s own splendor was enough to outshine everyone around him.
Forsaking the status of the top figure of the continent and following Ye Futian to cultivate was a bold move.
Emperor Helian knew that Beigong Ao was a shrewd fellow. From the looks of it, he gave up being the top figure of the continent and the position of Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master in order to have the chance of witnessing the view from even higher places.
Beigong Ao’s ambitions were very grand. Emperor Helian felt that he himself was inferior to Beigong Ao.
Ye Futian was also somewhat surprised at this. He looked at Beigong Ao. Although Ye Futian could faintly understand the stance of Eastern Deity Island now, Beigong Ao had followed him from the Dongyuan Pavilion and was more trustworthy. Having an eighth-tier cultivator beside him would make life much easier for him. In addition to Zi Feng, Ye Futian would not need to attend to ordinary situations.
“Are you serious?” Ye Futian asked. An eighth-tier cultivator was already a figure at the peak. Beigong Ao would be the top cultivator on the continent when he returned.
“I am serious. I have considered this before,” Beigong Ao replied. He smiled, seemingly very calm.
“Alright,” Ye Futian answered, nodding his head. “It is just that there will be inconveniences for you, Senior.”
“There won’t be any inconveniences. I will return to settle matters in the Dongyuan Pavilion as well as the matters of Yang clan,” Beigong Ao said. Yang Dongqing had betrayed Ye Futian on Eastern Deity Island, conspiring with Jun Qiuyan, and was killed. The issue with the Yang clan naturally needed to be settled to prevent hidden dangers in the future.
“Hmm,” Ye Futian nodded. “You should head back to make arrangements first. Senior Helian will cultivate here for a period of time. When the time comes for the handover, Senior Helian shall inherit the position of Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master until you return.”
“That won’t be a problem,” Beigong Ao said as he nodded his head. He looked at Beigong Shuang and instructed, “You stay here and cultivate with Pavilion Master Ye.”
“Hmm,” Beigong Shuang agreed, nodding her head. Emperor Helian, who was to the side, glanced at him. This old fox had not forgotten to arrange for his daughter to stay by Ye Futian’s side. This scheming fellow. If Ye Futian did not have a partner already, this fellow would most likely want his daughter to pounce on Ye Futian directly.
