Naturally, the practitioners from the Heavenly Mandate Academy also saw the figure with the white head. It felt like it was a dream.
20 years ago, he was regarded as the number one prodigy of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. However, he was envied by many, and the factions of the Nine Realms did not allow him to live. Several divine prefecture factions, the Shen Clan, Golden Divine Nation, Tianshen Academy, Sky Reaching School, Martial God Clan, Solar Divine Palace, Celestial Worthy Temple, School of the Emperor Star, and the Holy Land of Taichu allied together to annihilate Ye Futian in front of the world.
Since then, the number one prodigy of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path had died. Many practitioners felt a huge sense of grief. In 20 years, the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path had undergone tremendous changes. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people talked about him. This legendary person who had “died” was gradually being forgotten.
However, on this day, leading a group of practitioners, he had reappeared in the sky above the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Ye Futian was still alive.
The number one prodigy of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path had come back alive.
In an instant, the Heavenly Mandate Academy erupted in chaos. Almost everyone in the academy knew who Ye Futian was. Even practitioners who joined the academy later had witnessed Ye Futian’s prowess and strength in the past. He was a powerful practitioner in the Heavenly Mandate Realm. How many had not witnessed his stylish and peerless displays in the past?
Many practitioners even had tears in their eyes. They were ecstatic. In the Heavenly Mandate Realm, many practitioners idolized Ye Futian. He had long become the symbol of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Even though he was not the college chief, he was still a totemistic character. Tons of his juniors who had never even spoken to him before had nothing but respect for him.
The peerless figure who dominated an era and overshadowed the other geniuses and prodigies across the realm with elegance had changed the structure of the Nine Realms with his strength alone. However, it was perhaps also his peerlessness and sharpness that led to the sad ending. Nonetheless, it did not influence the respect countless people felt for him. It was a respect that came from the bottom of their hearts.
Now, seeing Ye Futian return, none could describe the emotion that they were feeling. He was actually alive.
At that moment, Ye Futian lowered his head and looked at the elder, his eyes slightly pink, and said, “I’m back.”
As he spoke, he landed on the ground. He walked until he was in front of Lord Taixuan. The relationship between Lord Taixuan and Ye Futian was not that of a simple master-disciple relationship. Lord Taixuan was an elder who truly took care of him. Since Ye Futian cultivated at Taixuan Mountain, Lord Taixuan had taken extra care of him and treated him like family.
After the Heavenly Mandate Academy was founded, Lord Taixuan became the college chief.
Now, seeing Lord Taixuan hurt, one could only imagine what Ye Futian was feeling.
“Who is it?” Ye Futian asked, an eerie coldness tinged in his tone. He was naturally asking about the perpetrator who had injured Lord Taixuan.
However, a bright smile of pure joy and happiness was the only thing in Lord Taixuan’s eyes that showed the vicissitudes of life. Clearly, he did not mind the injury. He replied softly, “It is not important. I am relieved now that I see that you are back. Over these past 20 years, I had begun to suspect that you had tricked us back then.”
Behind Lord Taixuan. Hua Nianyu, with her reddish eyes, looked at Ye Futian and shouted softly, “Brother-in-law.”
She still remembered everything when she was young. Back then, she had no worries. Her sister and brother-in-law took care of her, Grandpa Xuan pampered her, and the people at the academy loved her. Then, after her brother-in-law left, she seemed to have grown up in one night.
Now that her brother-in-law was back, she felt great.
Ye Futian raised his head to look at the woman behind Lord Taixuan. An elvish-looking beauty. She looked similar to Jieyu. Just as beautiful. In an instant, Ye Futian’s gaze became soft and his smile warm.
“Little Nianyu, you’ve grown up.”
Ye Futian lamented in his heart. 20 years was not a long time for practitioners on a higher plane. It was but a flick of a finger. However, for Nianyu, it was her youth. The best time of her life. And they did not provide her with enough sense of security. This made Ye Futian feel guilty.
He still remembered going to the city of Qingzhou to pick up Nianyu back in the day. Back then, he swore to take good care of Little Nianyu until she grew up. However, he went to the Divine Prefecture, and 20 years had passed. One of the most important periods of Nianyu’s life.
“Yes.” Nianyu nodded slightly. She felt a sense of familiarity and strangeness, both at the same time. The strangeness was because it had been too long, and the familiarity was her memories of Ye Futian had never faded away. She had never forgotten that period of the wonderful time when she was growing up. It was one of the best times of her life. She was like a princess who was pampered and protected by everyone.
“Where’s your sister? How is she?” Ye Futian suddenly felt worried. “Also, what about Yu Sheng, Wu Chen, and the others? Why do I not see them anywhere?”
“They’ve left,” Nianyu said softly.
“Left?” Ye Futian was stunned. Then, Lord Taixuan said, “After you left, many things happened. Princess Donghuang personally witnessed the battle before you left. All the factions agreed that all grudges and rivalries ended with your death. So, after your disappearance, Princess Donghuang gathered a group of people to head to the Divine Prefecture to cultivate and train. All the practitioners who possessed a perfect grade Divine Wheel could go. Jieyu, Ye Wuchen, Gu Dongliu, and Dou Zhao left. They have not been back since. Like you, they have been gone for over 20 years.
“They went to the Divine Prefecture!”
Ye Futian was stunned. This was something that did not occur to him at all. Moreover, Princess Donghuang was the one who led them, and just like himself, they had been gone and have not returned in over 20 years.
Where did they go?
When would they come back?
“Yu Sheng, he went with Mei Ting,” said Lord Taixuan.
“Devil General Mei Ting!” Ye Futian’s pupils shrunk. He was just worried that if Yu Sheng was with Princess Donghuang, would they discover something about him. However, it turned out that Yu Sheng had chosen another path and left with Mei Ting.
He knew that Yu Sheng’s relationship with the Devil World could never be severed. This relationship ran very deep. Mei Ting came a few times specifically to look for Yu Sheng.
“It should be fine. Back then, Mei Ting respected Yu Sheng’s decision. It was Yu Sheng himself who chose to head to the Devil World,” said Lord Taixuan. Ye Futian nodded. He completely understood Yu Sheng’s choice.
Seeing himself surrounded and pursued by various factions, Yu Sheng also suffered in his heart and felt immense anger. He wanted to become stronger. So, he chose to head to the Devil World. Even though his future was filled with uncertainties, Yu Sheng knew that the Devil World was a cultivation holy land for him. He could only grow rapidly in the Devil World.
As such, he chose to leave with Mei Ting.
With that, Ye Futian wondered when he would be able to see Yu Sheng again.
Ye Futian lamented in his heart. People close to him, his lover, his friends, they were no longer here. Everything was related to that battle. His “death” made the people close to him choose paths that would help them grow faster. That was why each of them had chosen to leave this realm.
“Apart from that, after you left, there have been a lot of major changes in the Original Realm,” said Lord Taixuan. He then continued, “In the battle with the three major factions, the two factions that you defeated, the Dark Court and the Empty Divine Realm, were quiet for some time. However, after a while, they began to commit atrocities throughout the Original Realm. They even destroyed many realms.”
“Destroyed realms?” Ye Futian’s pupils shrunk.
“Yes. Do you still remember the incident in the Shadow Realm?” Lord Taixuan asked. Ye Futian naturally remembered. The power of Yin was inside the Shadow Realm, and he had obtained that power.
“The Solar Realm also contains the Divine Power of the Sun. The Divine Prefecture faction in the Upper Worlds, the Sun God Mountain, never left that realm. The Dark Court thought that every realm in the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Path contained ancient treasures. As such, they began to destroy the weaker realms, and they ended up destroying many realms. They had even destroyed the Hidden Land Realm, a realm that they previously controlled. Indeed, they certainly did discover mighty divine powers. However, many realms within the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path were destroyed. Their acts have certainly plunged many people into misery and suffering,” said Lord Taixuan.
Ye Futian’s heart was cold. The Original Realm was said to be the world before the Heavenly Path crumbled. Even though it was later discarded, it was still the Original Realm. It was likely due to this that the opponents began to wreak havoc and inflict mass destruction.
“In addition, many practitioners even searched in the boundless space outside the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. In truth, many practitioners from other realms had already been doing this before the Divine Prefecture’s chaotic period. In fact, the Original Realm no longer has that many cultivation resources left. However, they seem to want to squeeze out and extract all remaining value left in the realm, and they really did manage to find several such sites. Later, the Divine Prefecture also sent people over to the Original Realm to stop them. However, the number of cultivators from the Dark World kept increasing while the factions from the Divine Prefecture kept arriving. All of which has led to the current chaos in the Original Realm.”
Ye Futian listened quietly. He would never have thought that the Original Realm would be turned upside down 20 years after he had left.
No wonder the imperial palace gathered practitioners from the Divine Prefecture to come to the Original Realm. It looked like a chaotic battle was about to take place in the Original Realm.
Perhaps this was why Donghuang the Great sealed the Original Realm back then.
After 300 years, the Original Realm had again become not peaceful.
At that time, who knew how many powerful beings were gathered in the Original Realm?
“Younger brother.” A voice appeared. Ye Futian shifted his gaze towards the figure approaching the courtyard of the academy. Instantly, Ye Futian withdrew all the negative emotions he was feeling, and a bright smile appeared on his face. Several figures entered the courtyard and approached them. A sense of familiarity washed over Ye Futian.
“Second sister.”
“Master. Ma’am.”
“Master.”
“…”
Ye Futian called them out one by one. Each was someone familiar and close to him. Zhuge Mingyue, Hua Fengliu, Nandou Wenyin, Qi Xuangang, Douzhan, Zhuge Qingfeng, and others. Everyone appeared in front of him. Seeing that they were all well and good, Ye Futian naturally felt happy, and as such, a bright smile appeared on his face.
While the Heavenly Mandate Academy had undergone a tribulation, everyone was fine. Only the guardian of the Heavenly Mandate Academy—Lord Taixuan—himself was seriously injured!
