The Legend of Futian Chapter 2108 - Searching

Chapter 2108: Searching

Muyun Long didn’t look so good. Although the teacher remained neutral, he had an ominous feeling about this recent turn of events.
It was as if everything was as the teacher expected, including his thoughts, could not escape the discerning eyes of the teacher. He was like a god overlooking all of Four Corner Village, omnipotent, and everything was under his control.
These thoughts crossed Muyun Long’s mind because he believed that, with his current level of cultivation and the status of the Muyun family inside and outside the village, there shouldn’t be another god-like existence above him. He wanted to see how far he could go.
His first step was to open up the Four Corner Village so that it was no longer limited to this little corner of the world but would truly dominate the territory it was in and lord over this land.
Four Corner Village, located on an extremely barren continent, and was completely different from all other continents he had ever seen. In the Upper Ninth Heaven, those continents were so prosperous that, in comparison, the Four Corner Continent didn’t even seem to exist. After he opened up the connections, he wanted to be like those top outside forces, to turn this continent into a place of extreme prosperity. Four Corner Village ought to be worshipped and revered by all the cultivators.
But until now, he felt as if he was still under the shadow of the teacher. Not long ago, he had thought that this would be a great opportunity for him. But now, it seemed that he was still under the control of the teacher.
The seven great divine techniques would all be revealed eventually. If Ye Futian, Old Ma, and the others were to control the advantage, it would be him that would be expelled by Ye Futian, not the other way around.
In the past, this was something that he had never considered before. But now, it was something he had to face.
Furthermore, when Lao Ma asked the teacher to expel him, something impossible to even think of in the past, the teacher did not outright refuse his suggestion. Instead, he said that the heirs of the seven great divine techniques would decide. What did that imply?
The teacher did not negate the possibility.
When Muyun Long considered all this, he became quite aggravated.
He raised his head to look at Nanhai Qing, who was in front of him. Although Blind Tie had let go of him, a strong sense of anger and humiliation lingered on Nanhai Qing. Traces of aura surged but were suppressed by him as he did not dare to strike back.
A guest of the Muyun family was humiliated so publicly.
Everything seemed to undergo a subtle change, and Four Corner Village was on the precipice of transformation. This seemed to be what he was asking for, and yet…
Many cultivators were coming this way, but no one acted impulsively anymore. They kept looking at Little Ling and the tree, unsure what was so amazing about this tree.
At this time, rays of divine light poured into Little Ling’s body. She wiggled as she opened her eyes, blinking. She looked up at Ye Futian and said, “Uncle Ye, it looks like I can cultivate.”
“Well, you can,” Ye Futian nodded.
“But, the teacher had said that I couldn’t cultivate. So, could I or couldn’t I?” Little Ling seemed to ponder the instructions given by the teacher. In the village, if the teacher decided one couldn’t cultivate, it was the end of the matter.
“Have you forgotten that there is a chance for awakening on the day of the sacrifice? Little Ling herself has great luck as well. You couldn’t cultivate before, but after experiencing the awakening, you will be able to cultivate from now on,” Ye Futian said with a smile.
“Is that so?” Little Ling blinked, already believing Ye Futian’s words with all her heart. She looked at Old Ma and Blind Tie next to him. Old Ma cheerily said, “Uncle Ye is right. You have already experienced an awakening so that you can cultivate in the future. You forgot that the teacher said not long ago that even if there were no awakening, the village is not the same as it was before. Everyone can cultivate.”
“Yes,” Little Ling scratched her head with a silly smile on her face.
“Little Ling, we can cultivate together now.” Next to her, Tie Tou smiled happily.
“Mmm,” Little Ling nodded.
“From now on, we can all study and learn from the teacher,” Tie Tou said. Little Ling looked at Ye Futian with a brilliant smile, full of simple contentment.
“Thank you, Uncle Ye,” said Little Ling.
Ye Futian rubbed her head and smiled casually, but his mind drifted. He thought that perhaps only the teacher and himself truly understood the truth behind the changes that were taking place in Four Corner Village. They were the only ones who knew that the seven great divine techniques would be revealed eventually.
Now that Little Ling had inherited the divine technique, he was on his way to find the next heir of the divine technique.
At this time, many people came to the tree. After Little Ling finished cultivating, no one was stopped from approaching it.
Lu Qixing was dapper and gentlemanly. He glanced at the tree and thought that he had felt the tree was extraordinary but difficult to grasp. He looked at Ye Futian and bowed slightly, introducing himself, “Lu Qixing from Shangqing Domain.”
“Ye Futian.” Ye Futian responded. Lu Qixing was being so polite so that he couldn’t be overly arrogant.
“I want to inquire if Emperor Ye had comprehended the mystery of this divine tree?” Lu Qixing asked.
“This tree is peculiar and connected to this space, but I haven’t comprehended its secrets yet.” Ye Futian responded with a smile. Clearly, this was not the truth. But, how could he tell a total stranger everything?
Lu Qixing did not fully believe what Ye Futian told him. He suspected that Ye Futian might have comprehended some mysteries of the tree. Otherwise, he would not be bringing Little Ling to cultivate under it. Of course, he wouldn’t divulge things of this nature to him.
“Brother Ye seems to be a person of great luck,” Lu Qixing commented. Since many said that his luck was unparalleled, they believed it was him who caused these visions. But now, it appeared that it might not have been the case.
Ye Futian had entered the village around the same time he did, and they both had passed through the same passageway.
Then, could the visions on that day caused by Ye Futian?
And he wasn’t the only one who had doubts. Many people now thought of the same thing. After all, luck often went hand in hand with chance. Ye Futian helped Little Ling to awake to a divine technique that had never been revealed before. Such chance was a manifestation of luck.
When Ye Futian entered the village, it was Little Ling who chose him.
“Ye Futian.”
At this time, a beautiful woman stepped toward Ye Futian. Her eyes fastened on him as she whispered, “In the year 10051 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, the Donghua Banquet was hosted by the Chief of Donghua Domain, well-attended by its cultivators. At the Donghua Banquet, a man went undefeated and whose thundering reputation was known throughout the world. The man called himself Ye Liunian, but later it was rumored that his real name was Ye Futian.”
As powerful figures in Shangqing Domain, clearly, some had heard about the news regarding Donghua Banquet. But years later, An Ruosu still remembered a man who appeared at Donghua Banquet at the time. According to reliable sources, that man’s talent was equivalent to that of Ning Hua, the number one genius talent of Donghua Domain.
An Ruosu was extremely dedicated to following the happenings in the cultivation world and paying attention to the top figures from everywhere. She didn’t just limit her attention to those in Shangqing Domain and top figures in other domains. That was how she had heard of Ye Futian’s name.
As her voice faded, all eyes were on Ye Futian. Someone had speculated whether Ye Futian was from the Domain Chief’s Manor from Donghua Domain. Now it seemed that it was very likely that he was someone selected by the Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor.
They seemed to be waiting for An Ruosu to continue, so she said, “However, this genius talent offended all the major forces, even the Domain Chief’s Manor, and became a wanted fugitive. At the time, a battle exploded in Donghua Domain, the Domain Chief and several other masters went to war, and the Millet Emperor fought against the three of them with the Watchtower at his back.”
Many trembled when they heard her words.
He had ignited the war between major forces?
“I have heard about this as well. I didn’t expect that the main character in that event at Donghua Banquet would show up in Shangqing Domain’s Four Corner Village.” A young man, who was also a top figure in Shangqing Domain, spoke up. He had heard about that great battle.
But he didn’t expect that one day he would have interaction with them.
It appeared that this man might indeed be the one who caused the visions that day.
The villagers chattered. They didn’t expect this man to have such a famous history. Old Ma had the foresight to pick someone with great luck.
Ye Futian merely smiled. “I came to Four Corner Village to find opportunities, as well. As for those other things, they are not so important.”
As he was speaking, he nodded slightly to An Ruosu. Then he instructed Little Ling and Tie Tou, “This tree is extraordinary. Comprehend carefully under this tree and see if you can gain anything more from it.”
“Mmm,” Tie Tou and Little Ling both nodded and sat down obediently. Ye Futian sat with them as well, eyes closed and appeared to be resting.
His divine consciousness seemed to merge with the ancient tree as traces of his consciousness spread and expanded. In his mind, everything in this space was crystal clear, even the fluctuations of the aura.
In the village, not far from them, several people were looking at him. Ye Futian knew the man, Fang Gai, who was in the lead. He had left quite an impression on Ye Futian.
Fang Cun stood next to Fang Gai. Wisps of aura came out from the youth as if in resonance with this space.
“So, that’s it.” Ye Futian exclaimed silently. Fang Cun’s luck was incredibly strong; all he needed was a chance. Could it be that Fang Gai already knew that?
He continued to look at other places. In the lively village at this moment, he saw a lonely figure squatting under the bridge of the village, playing with the rocks by the river. It was as if the hustle and bustle of the village had nothing to do with him.
The boy was very young, about as old as Little Ling. He wore tattered clothes. It was as if no one had cared for him. He squatted by himself under the stone bridge, looking a little lonesome.
However, Ye Futian detected traces of extraordinary aura from him. At this moment, Ye Futian vaguely understood how the teacher was able to determine whether or not a person had the potential to cultivate!
