The Legend of Futian Chapter 2149 - Big Change

Chapter 2149: Big Change
“Brother Duan,” Ye Futian greeted Duan Qiong.
Duan Qiong and the others came over and checked out the cultivation site. They looked up at the extraordinary phenomena in the sky and the magical ancient tree and exclaimed, “Four Corner Village is indeed a marvelous place now. This could be considered a holy land for cultivation.”
“Brother Duan, you can stay and cultivate here for a few days if you’d like,” Ye Futian smiled and said.
“I would love to do that. However, I’m coming for something else this time,” Duan Qiong replied. Intrigued, Ye Futian asked, “What is it?”
Duan Qiong personally came all the way from Giant Gods City for something other than cultivating in the village; it must be a crucial and urgent matter.
“We got the news from the Domain Chief’s Manor in the Upper Nine Heavens of the Shangqing Domain. It’s said that some changes may happen in the Divine Prefecture soon. Perhaps they will summon powerful cultivators from the eighteen domains in the Divine Prefecture. At this point, the Domain Chief’s Manor has issued an order to call for representatives from various top forces to discuss what lies ahead. Has Four Corner Village received the news?” Duan Qiong asked.
“No, we haven’t,” Ye Futian shook his head and answered. “Some changes in the Divine Prefecture?”
Duan Qiong specifically said the Divine Prefecture rather than the Shangqing Domain or other domains.
“Yes, we heard that it has something to do with the Original Realm. There are some conflicts between the Divine Prefecture and other forces. Maybe there is another war coming,” Duan Qiong continued, “You came from the Original Realm. I suppose you know something about this?”
A surprised look crossed Ye Futian’s face. Of course, he knew something about it. Only equally powerful forces could be in opposition to the Divine Prefecture. There were some conflicts for sure when Ye Futian was still in the Original Realm.
The Dark Court, the Empty Divine Realm… Some of the most powerful forces in the world took part in the mess in the Original Realm. Even so, Ye Futian thought that the Divine Prefecture had already controlled the situation. Did the tension and hostilities become worse now?
“I do know a little.” Ye Futian nodded.
“Okay,” Duan Qiong nodded and continued, “As you can imagine, there will be disastrous consequences if a war on this scale breaks out. It has been peaceful for almost 400 years since the Great Emperor unified the Divine Prefecture. We built up our home little by little during this time. But I’m afraid that all the cultivators in the eighteen domains in the Divine Prefecture would be in peril if a war breaks out.”
Donghuang the Great Emperor unified the Divine Prefecture and promoted martial arts. He usually stayed out of trivial matters and let people develop freely. Nevertheless, the entire Divine Prefecture surely would be tightly governed by the Donghuang Imperial Palace during wartime. No one could escape from the fate of fighting in the war.
Moreover, it was impossible to imagine how war at this level would end. Many continents would collapse and perish.
“It’s that serious already?” asked Ye Futian.
“We’re not there yet, of course. But I heard that tensions have been rising. War is likely to happen in the future if this goes on. I guess they want to take preventive measures before it’s too late,” said Duan Qiong, “Four Corner Village happens to join the rest of the world at this time. I don’t think that you would be left out. Perhaps a messenger from the Domain Chief’s Manor will come soon. I decided to come here through the teleportation grand matrix as soon as I received the news. Brother Ye, we can go together to the Nine Heavens if you want. It will be a good trial.
“Since the Domain Chief’s Manor delivered the message to all the forces this time, many master cultivators and top Renhuangs will be there,” Duan Qiong added.
Ye Futian nodded. He was a little surprised to hear that the conflict had gone this far.
He had no idea what the situation was like in the Original Realm. He had been in the Divine Prefecture for many years and really hoped to get a chance to visit back.
At this moment, they heard some noise from afar. Ye Futian looked in that direction and saw Fang Gai and the others talking to someone.
“How can we help you?” Fang Gai asked. Ye Futian immediately understood that it was the envoy from the Domain Chief’s Manor of the Shangqing Domain. The Domain Chief’s Manor probably sent messengers to inform various forces located in different directions at the same time.
“The chief asked us to invite the head of Four Corner Village to the Domain Chief’s Manor to discuss some matters. Other forces and groups are invited as well. We only came because the injunction has been lifted, and Four Corner Village has ended the sequestration. Otherwise, the chief wouldn’t send us to disturb you,” the envoy said.
Fang Gai nodded slightly and answered, “I understand. The representatives of Four Corner Village will be there.”
“Thank you.” The envoy nodded and said, “We have delivered the message and will be leaving now.”
“Alright,” Fang Gai replied. There was no point in keeping a messenger here longer.
The villagers gathered around and asked, “What’s it about?”
“The envoy of the Domain Chief’s Manor specifically came to deliver the invitation. It must be something important,” Fang Gai said, “The Crown Prince also arrived moments earlier and seems to be talking about this with Ye Futian. Maybe they have more information.”
Fang Gai’s words prompted the crowd to move in Ye Futian’s direction. Duan Qiong repeated what he said to Ye Futian just now. The villagers were astounded. No one expected it to be something so critical and serious.
“What a fortuitous time for our Four Corner Village to rejoin the world.” Fang Gai shook his head and made a wry smile. It was impossible to foretell the effect of this conflict. Cultivators living in the eighteen domains in the Divine Prefecture would probably be drafted by the Donghuang Imperial Palace if a war really broke out.
Old Ma walked over and said, “The master certainly can’t go. I will pay the Domain Chief’s Manor a visit this time.”
Then, he looked at Ye Futian and said, “Futian, you can join me if you want. Who else wants to go?”
“I will go with you,” said Fang Gai. Ye Futian saved him from the ancient royal family of Duan. It was only proper for him to ensure Ye Futian’s safety this time.
“If Uncle Ma is going, it’s better for you to stay and take care of the things in the village. I should go,” Blind Tie chimed in. Everyone looked at him in surprise. They wondered what would happen when Blind Tie met his former enemies there.
Perhaps he just wanted to take a walk outside.
“I will go with you too,” Fang Huan said. He had made considerable progress and felt that he encountered a cultivation bottleneck period. He needed an opportunity to make a breakthrough.
“Alright,” Old Ma nodded and said, “you can go with Duan Qiong and the others. I will get there by myself and wait for you guys there.”
Ye Futian and the others would be safer when traveling with people from the ancient royal family of Duan. At least the top forces in the Shangqing Domain wouldn’t attack them in public.
“Good.” Everyone nodded in unison.
“In that case, let’s set out now,” Duan Qiong said. No one disagreed, and they left Four Corner Village together.
Besides Blind Tie and Fang Huan, Ye Futian was also accompanied by Chen Yi and Zi Feng, who had been cultivating in the village for a long time and were eager to have a trip as well.
They went from Four Corner City to Giant Gods City with the help of the teleportation grand matrix, then headed to the Nine Heavens.
Their destination was the top main continent in the Upper Nine Heavens of the Shangqing Domain—Shangqing Continent!
