After Ye Futian and his companions left, they continued to head further up the starry skies. He didn’t bother himself with Chen Yi. He had experienced that fellow’s speed for himself after all. Back then, Ning Hua already had trouble catching up with him. Furthermore, his cultivation level had increased, and his Way of Light was certainly much stronger, and his speed would be much faster. He was probably the fastest person in the world when it came to running for his life.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to snatch that treasure under the noses of so many powerful cultivators.

There were several nebulas in different parts of the starry skies. Fights had broken out in many places, and it was a terrifying sight to behold. Thankfully, they weren’t on land but in space, so these fights would not bring harm to innocent parties, and everyone could fight to their heart’s content here.

Ye Futian didn’t know how many treasures here had been placed by cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace, but it was clear that certain areas had been left behind from Ziwei the Great’s cultivation. For example, the nebula that Ye Wuchen had swallowed earlier was probably the sword will left behind by Ziwei the Great, which turned into a sword-shaped nebula.

Besides that place, there were many other parts, which were extremely difficult to comprehend. Many high-level cultivators were still trying their best to comprehend and uncover all the secrets within, but they had not been successful so far.

“Where are we going?” Fang Gai stood beside Ye Futian and asked him.

Ye Futian’s eyes looked towards the highest point in the sky, where the illusion of a great emperor stood in the starry sky with a Heavenly Scroll in hand. That was probably where most high-level cultivators had congregated, and they would probably be the best from various worlds. All of them wanted to uncover this ultimate secret and find out what was the greatest inheritance that Ziwei the Great had left behind.

Also, what was in that Heavenly Scroll?

This was also something that piqued Ye Futian’s interest the most. But of course, if Ziwei the Great had really hidden an inheritance here, then it would certainly not be easy to obtain it. Ziwei the Great was a great emperor of ancient days, and this place must have existed for many, many years now. Ziwei Imperial Palace was in control of everything here, but the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace still had not gained enlightenment of these secrets till today. So this was definitely a complicated process.

Ziwei the Great was a ruler of the Ziwei Segmentum. This Segmentum worshipped Ziwei the Great, and top cultivators cultivated like him. This place was filled with some of the world’s greatest geniuses, and if even these people had been unable to comprehend anything, the chances of them comprehending anything were slim.

But of course, it wasn’t all hopeless. This time, several things that the great emperor had left behind had been inherited. After all, some of the most legendary characters from all over the world had come this time. Many of them were extremely gifted, so their overall abilities were greater than the cultivators in the Ziwei Segmentum.

Ye Futian stopped walking and stood in the vast starry sky. The stars above shone on him as he turned back to look at the vast starry world.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Dongliu asked him quietly.

“Nothing. I was casually looking around to see if I could see anything different,” replied Ye Futian. “I want to go up there and have a look. Do you want to come with me or go elsewhere? There are many other places around here where you can gain enlightenment.”

“We’ll go to other places and not waste anytime there. But two people ought to go along with you,” said Gu Dongliu. Even though he possessed an extraordinary inheritance himself, he had some degree of self-awareness too. If any of them were going to stand out among the rest of the cultivators here, only Ye Futian fit the bill. It was impossible for the rest of them.

He wasn’t looking down on himself. This was just a sincere understanding of himself. There were way too many legendary characters here. After being sent by Princess Donghuang to the Divine Continent to cultivate all these years, he also saw some super powerful legends and confirmed that their difference in level was significant. If he said that he was confident of winning the cultivators in these starry skies, that would definitely be a sign of audacity.

It was better to go elsewhere to have a look and try his luck to see if he could be enlightened.

“I’ll go with him,” avowed Blind Tie. He couldn’t see and never thought about inheriting anything else. He was happy to cultivate his Divine Hammer of the Protector to the best he could. Having one powerful move was better than having a thousand low-level moves. Cultivating one aspect to its maximum was better than having to learn a thousand different cultivation techniques.

The Divine Hammer of the Protector had also been left behind by a great character from history, the Four Corner Great Emperor. He was a pioneer of Four Corner Village.

As for why he wanted to protect Ye Futian, it probably came out from a hope he had in Ye Futian. Ye Futian had completely rewritten Four Corner Village’s destiny, and they all knew that if they wanted to continue to rewrite Four Corner Village’s destiny, the most important person was Ye Futian. He was considered one of the villagers, but all his disciples were the future of the village, including his own son.

And so, after they left Four Corner Village, Blind Tie had always been taking up the role of protecting Ye Futian. Fang Gai also did the same.

“I’ll stay with him, too. The rest of you can go and have a look elsewhere,” Fang Gai spoke up. He didn’t have strong ambitions either, since the next two generations after him were even more outstanding. He and Fang Huan had been rescued from the ancient royal family of Duan by Ye Futian, and Fang Cun was now a disciple of Ye Futian. So Ye Futian was a huge benefactor to his family, and everything he did now was not only for the sake of the Fang family’s future but also a bid to repay Ye Futian for his kindness.

Also, Fang Gai himself was a brilliant man who could tell that Ye Futian was the right choice. That was why he went along with Old Ma to chase the entire Muyun family out of the village.

Everything that happened later showed that he had certainly made the right choice.

Now, even the Nanhai family could not surpass the extraordinary position that Four Corner Village had within the Shangqing Continent. The village would only become more and more powerful, so Muyun Long was bound to regret staying with the Nanhai family in the future.

“Sure.” All of them nodded slightly. With two Level-eight cultivators protecting Ye Futian and Ye Futian’s own prowess, as long as they didn’t run into anybody too powerful, they should do just fine.

Actually, Ye Futian by himself was already enough, but his position was way too important to the rest, so they placed his safety as their priority. On top of that, Ye Futian often attracted powerful attacks on himself. Now that he wanted to comprehend Ziwei the Great’s inheritance, he could run into the most powerful character in this universe.

The group split ways. Ye Futian, Blind Tie, and Fang Gai continued heading upwards, while the rest left for other parts of the starry sky.

As they headed upwards, Ye Futian could feel a divine aura that felt like true might hit him. It was as if one of the Great Emperors of the past was still around. It was as if the will of Ziwei the Great was still here, and that’s why this might existed.

At this moment, Ye Futian and his companions couldn’t help but feel a sense of solemnity rise from their hearts. As they moved upwards and looked up at the illusion of that divine face above them, they felt like this god was looking back at them. They were in front of a god, so they ought to bow down and worship.

Besides them, many other cultivators were already in that same space. Also, these were all legendary geniuses from all over the world. Only such people would come here directly!
