Chapter 2307: Changes in Original Realm

Starry sky world. Ziwei cultivation court.

Beneath the boundless starry sky, Ye Futian sat cross-legged in a quiet location. Surrounded by stars, Ye Futian, who was fully bathed in the starlight, seemed extremely holy.

In front of him lay the guqin that he named “Yearning.” At this moment, traces of rhythmic divine light continuously wafted out from the instrument, connecting with Ye Futian at his brow chakra so that his entire body was enveloped by the rhythmic divine light. In his mind, more and more memories presented themselves, and most of them were connected with music: music scores and the moods contained in each piece of the music.

Shenyin the Great was the first man of music in his era. His attainments in music were so superior that few in history could be named along with him, either in ancient times or modern. Naturally, he was not only known for the Divine Requiem. The Divine Requiem was a shocking composition created after his own experience of great sorrow. However, even before that, he was already a master of countless pieces of music, some of which were extremely powerful, and their influence was not much weaker than that of the Divine Requiem.

Now, Shenyin the Great was ready to pass on all this to Ye Futian when he regained consciousness again. He promised Ye Futian the guqin for 300 years. In return, Ye Futian would escort him home.

Although Ye Futian was still unclear on the actual meaning of these words from Shenyin the Great, he was not about to pursue them if the Great Emperor himself didn’t deign to clarify. For him, the priority was to focus on his own cultivation. Now that he had control over Ziwei Segmentum and the Original Realm, he felt the pressure acutely. It was not enough for him to be a mere Upper Renhuang. He needed a stronger realm of cultivation.

Day by day, Ye Futian had been receiving the inheritance of the guqin, and countless memories appeared in his mind. After a long while, the divine light on the guqin gradually dimmed, and the strings stopped moving as the divine light went out. However, Ye Futian didn’t stop cultivating. He sat there quietly, and he continued to be surrounded by the light of the rhythm.

He needed time to perceive and digest the rhythmic Way passed on to him by Shenyin the Great. There were so many exquisite pieces of guqin music that he needed time to sort them out in his head.

In the ground below, many looked up at Ye Futian. Those who could cultivate in the Starry Sky Cultivation Court were close confidants, as well as allies. As they witnessed Ye Futian inherit the power from Shenyin the Great, they couldn’t help but wonder what lied ahead for this young man.

The Sword Goddess of Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow raised her head to look at Ye Futian. “Ning Yuan, I am afraid things will not be quiet for long.”

Previously, at the Donghua banquet, they knew very well how Ning Yuan, the Domain Chief of the Domain Chief’s Manor, had treated Ye Futian. Ning Hua hunted Ye Futian relentlessly and almost succeeded in killing him. Today, the power that was within Ye Futian’s control was far above that of the Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor. If Ye Futian wanted to settle these old scores, he could do so now by heading over to Donghua Domain in the Divine Prefecture.

However, that was the Domain Chief’s Manor under the rule of the Great Emperor. Presumably, Ye Futian had some concerns as well, so he wouldn’t act rashly. However, with his talent and potential, he may very well stand at the top in the future. As long as nothing happened to him, this debt would be settled sooner rather than later. At that time, the Domain Chief’s Manor in the Donghua Domain would be greatly endangered.

As the current situation stood, Ning Hua, known as the number one genius of Donghua Domain, was hard-pressed to contend with Ye Futian. Aside from all the things that had happened in the past, it should not be too difficult for Ye Futian to kill Ning Hua. There were too many means and power under Ye Futian’s control, and Ning Hua had none of these.

In the starry sky world, everyone was quietly cultivating, perceiving the power of the Imperial Star. Many had made progress. Especially cultivators compatible with the power of the Imperial Star made progress much faster than the others.

Several months had passed, and Ye Futian stopped cultivating and started walking downward. There were familiar faces all around him.

Someone walked towards Ye Futian. Lord Luo was heard asking Ye Futian, “How was it?”

“Shenyin the Great was the first man of music in the ancient era. The rhythm technique he cultivated is far too sophisticated for me to fully control and absorb for the time being. These past few months have been far from adequate. I am afraid that I will need to cultivate and comprehend frequently in the future,” said Ye Futian.

When he heard those words, Lord Luo knew that Ye Futian had completely inherited the musical inheritance of Shenyin the Great.

How much help would Ye Futian receive from this first man in music from ancient times?

No one from the same generation as Ye Futian could compare with him just on the Way of rhythm alone.

Fang Gai and Blind Tie came over as well. Although they were from Four Corner Village, they had regarded themselves as members of the Heavenly Mandate Academy after choosing to follow Ye Futian. Since Ye Futian was the center, whether it was the village or Heavenly Mandate Academy, or even Ziwei Imperial Palace, they would be part of Ye Futian’s power in the future. They knew this very well.

“How is it outside?” asked Ye Futian.

“Not so quiet,” Fang Gai replied. “Since the Dragon Turtle dragged you to the Ziwei Segmentum, the news had shaken the Original Realm, and many cultivators from those top principalities wanted to visit you again. However, because you were not here, they were turned away. But judging from their intentions, it looks like they want to get close to you.”

At the moment, Ye Futian was the most prestigious figure in the Original Realm; he had unlimited potential. Naturally, there would be forces from Divine Prefecture who wanted to befriend him.

Everyone could see that Ye Futian was definitely regarded as one of the most enchanting genius existences in the Divine Prefecture and maybe even the entire world. His growth was akin to the journey of those other major figures.

“If the Divine Prefecture is not aligned to deal with the Dark World, what good does it do to befriend me?” Ye Futian responded. Unless, of course, they could unite all the principalities and launch a war against the Dark World.

“Well, forget about this for now. There is something else. As soon as the Dragon Turtle incident happened, more cultivators came from the Divine Prefecture, the Dark World, and the Empty Divine Realm. Those top figures never left either. They began to search for the ancient relics in the boundless void of the Original Realm as if wanting to re-excavate the mysteries of the Original Realm.” Fang Gai continued, “And this time, it is said that several principalities have already re-discovered the relics of ancient times. As if it has been destined that as the entire Original Realm is changing, ancient ruins are also reappearing one after the another.”

Ye Futian’s expression grew somber. Would more relics appear? And it seemed that there was more than just the one.

The Original Realm was the interface that formed after the collapse of the heavenly path. It seemed reasonable for ancient relics to emerge. Ziwei the Great and Shenyin the Great had all appeared in the Original Realm.

“The change of heaven and earth originated in the Original Realm. It seems that this prophecy is not false after all,” Lord Luo murmured. Ye Futian’s eye drifted toward Lord Luo, and he asked, “Where did that prophecy come from?”

“I don’t know.” Lord Luo shook his head. “But now, cultivators in the Divine Prefecture and other worlds have all heard such prophesy, or else the top cultivators from other major worlds would not have descended in the land of the Original Realm!”
