Chapter 2721: Ye Imperial Palace

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There was now a palace complex constructed within the vast expanses of the mountainous Ruins of the Mahoraga, and the palaces acted as a link between the mountains.
In the core region of the Ruins was a divine door, while the Imperial Palace above it was even more magnificent. Looking at how spectacular and grand it was, it was akin to a divine palace. After all, it had been built for the important people. Ziwei Imperial Palace had five grand palaces, while West
Imperial Palace and the Lost Clan also had core powers, so they needed a large territory.
Therefore, Xi Chiyao made full use of every bit of land available in the bid to turn the region into a palace complex.
She had certainly done a great job as it was well planned. The original Lord of West Imperial Palace brought many cultivators from the palace over to help out. Xi Chiyao had even neglected her own cultivation in those days as she spent most of her time working to turn the ruins into something grand enough to be compared to the Imperial Palaces.
Xi Chiyao viewed the areas containing the Relics of the Great Emperor as core areas and had them fenced. ‘When Ye Futian brought cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace to the area, it was not yet fully completed, but they were still stunned by the scale of the construction. Of course, they were aware that this place was newly constructed, and the continent was once a barren land. However, Ye Futian had plans to turn this area into the second Ziwei Imperial Palace.
Furthermore, the fact that Ye Futian had already constructed an imperial palace here and brought them over meant that they had already taken a firm hold of this continent.
Just how strong Ye Futian was now? “Come, I’ll bring you guys to see the relics of the Great Emperor,” Ye Futian offered. This group of people who came with him consisted of those of importance in Ziwei Imperial Palace and those who were close to him. There would be more coming subsequently. There was no rush as the linkway was already up and running. “Sure.” Everyone nodded their heads in anticipation. Even Emperor Xia, who had always given the cold shoulder to Ye Futian, also moved his legs forward obediently, although he still could not be bothered to interact with Ye Futian.
No one did not desire to see and study the relics of the Great Emperor for themselves.
Moreover, there were relics of the Great Emperor, but there was also the Gods’ Continent, the former battlefield of the gods in the past. And according to Ye Futian’s “bragging,” this place also formally belonged to the Mahoraga Tribe, which was one of the Heavenly Path’s Eight Legions. “Inever thought that I would be able to see the relics of the Gods’ Continent during this lifetime.” Lord Taixuan was immensely moved. Previously at the Nine Realms, he had also been an impressive character, but later on, as things kept changing in the Original Realm, eventually, he was no longer able to keep up with the pace.
Although he was still mighty, he was no longer considered significant when judged against the standards of the present Original Realm. Of course, if he were among normal humans in the world, he would still be regarded as exceptionally strong. Now though, he was with Ye Futian, and Ye Futian’s friends and foes were all exceptional characters.
Lord Taixuan, along with his companions, all felt themselves to be old guards and unable to compete with the leading cultivators from the newer generations any longer.
It had been previously impossible for them to have a chance to come to the God’s Continent and see the relics for themselves, so Ye Futian bringing them here now was like looking at a changing-of-the-guards.
The other cultivators from the former Nine Realms all gently nodded their heads. They, too, felt the same way as Lord Taixuan. They had been cultivating Taichu’s power at Ziwei Imperial Palace and underwent a metamorphosis that gave them extraordinary prowess.
Now being here, perhaps they would have the chance to improve even further and be of some use in the future despite their old age. “Please do not belittle yourself, Lord Taixuan,” Ye Futian said with a smile. “All of you elders already had remarkable abilities previously, and coinciding with the changes taking place in the world currently, many cultivators have undergone a metamorphosis. We from Ziwei Imperial Palace have gained a lot from the changes. Given the opportunity, it will be possible to improve further. Please have faith, Lord Taixuan and all.” Everyone nodded upon hearing Ye Futian’s words. He had indeed given them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
In the past, the elders took care of Ye Futian, but as time passed, Ye Futian was starting to take on the role as their provider. “Imanaged to acquire the blood of the Dragon God from somewhere. It can be used to strengthen the body. I will be refining a one-time elixir during closed-door cultivation,” Ye Futian continued saying while bringing his guests around the relics. “The combination of the dragon’s blood with the elixir will be able to transform the body once again and arouse the body’s potential even further.”
The cultivators all perked up, and their countenance became serious. Ye Futian’s purpose for bringing them here was not to let them witness what he had built and accomplished but was because he wanted to help them become more robust.
Ye Futian had put the dragon’s blood he got in exchange from Donghuang Diyuan into Dragon Pool Secret Realm, which was a dragon pool that was set up solely to hold the dragon’s blood. There was a wall of mountains surrounding the pool. A terrifying aura emanated from the blood-red pool, and the flowing dragon’s blood seemed to faintly form an illusion of a dragon. “Even cultivators who have gone through tribulations find it difficult to withstand the pressure of the dragon’s blood. I tried before once, and if your physical body is not strong enough, you might even explode within the pool and die,” Ye Futian explained to the others. They nodded their head in comprehension. Just by standing beside the pool alone, they could feel how intimidating it was. “There is also the carcass of a Purple Gold Dragon God at the front of the pool. It contains the Will of the Dragon God. You may go have a look if you have time.” Ye Futian continued his explanation. Everyone nodded again. They were impressed and stupefied by all they had seen so far.
The present Ziwei Imperial Palace was no longer what it used to be. Many of the cultivators who had initially followed Ye Futian, however, had made significant advancements.
The group left the dragon’s pool and returned to the outside world. They followed the linkway to a stairway, and standing on the stairway, they looked out upon the Imperial Palace that was still under construction. Ye Futian stated, “Everyone can go ahead to work on their own cultivations. I need to isolate myself for a while to create some elixirs for usage.” “Sure, you go ahead. We old folks will entertain ourselves,” Lord Taixuan replied with a smile, and everyone nodded in agreement. “Alright. It just so happens I have many matters to attend to these few days, and the outside world is continuously evolving as well. There certainly is no time to waste,” Ye Futian agreed. He bid farewell to the elders and left, leaving a few others like Fang Cun and Little Ling to oversee things.
As time passed, massive changes appeared in the Ruins of the Mahoraga every day. It was the same for the world outside.
Every single person got into the state of cultivation, and on this day, the palace on the Ruins of the Mahoraga was also finally completed. From top to bottom ran a sky stairwell, probably taking inspiration from the Old Heaven Court.
At the highest point of the sky, stairwell stood an imposing grand palace that seemed to be towering into the sky.
In the lower regions of this palace were two other palaces to the left and the right, and even further down were other groups of palaces that ran down the slope of the stairwell.
At that moment, many cultivators were standing at the left and right side beside the sky stairwell. They were looking up toward the highest grand palace and astonished at the sight. Xi Chiyao did not let them down and had turned the ruins into something magnificent.
A great light shone in the upper regions. Throughout the areas in the Ruins of the Mahoraga were many swords dangling from the dome of the sky. The Wills of the swords were sensed everywhere, and its center point was precisely where the highest palace was situated.
Above that palace, high in the skies, was a divine sword that controlled all the other swords.
Buzz! Just then, the lights went out, and the dangling swords suddenly vanished into thin air. The divine sword, too, disappeared into the darkness, leaving no traces behind.
A few shadowy figures appeared in that area. They consisted of Ye Futian, Supreme Swordlord, Ye Wuchen, and others. They went down to the crowd of people.
The formation of swords had been completed and would form the defense of the palace complex. As such, even if Ye Futian were not around if and when anyone wanted to break in, they would not be able to get past the sword formation. It could even kill the person who tried to break in. “I’s done!” Ye Futian announced as he landed on the sky stairwell. Everyone smiled. Xi Chiyao grinned. “Using the divine sword as part of the formation, where we are, we should be the first to finish building the palace.” “Yup.” Ye Futian nodded while looking at Xi Chiyao. “It’s all thanks to you.” “Everyone helped.” Xi Chiyao smiled. “It’s time to name this place.” “Name, huh?” Ye Futian’s head ached a little. Looking at the three highest-placed palaces, he knew that the highest one was for him and the important people in Ziwei Imperial Palace, while the lower two at the right and left sides were for West Imperial Palace and the Lost Clan. “Twant to name this palace as Ye Imperial Palace, but it might not be the right time to do so yet.” Xi Chiyao had this dream.
The cultivators were stunned. Ye Imperial Palace! “How about we temporarily name it such for now and only announce it to the world in the future,” Supreme Swordlord suggested. “That’s fine.” Everyone nodded their heads and looked at the handsome face of Ye Futian.
Ye Futian stood there and looked one by one at the faces staring at him. He could see the anticipation in each person’s eyes.
They hoped that he would become the Emperor of Ye Imperial Palace one day.
Thus, it would be appropriate to name this palace Ye Imperial Palace. It was the hopes of everyone there.
Seeing what they hoped for, Ye Futian answered, “Okay, let’s name it this way for now, but we’ll not announce it to the outside world. If I don’t manage to become an Emperor, it would be too embarrassing.”
Everyone laughed at Ye Futian’s words.
Within the laughter, there seem to lay their hopes for the future!
