Naturally, Ye Futian was pleased to see everyone in Ziwei Imperial Palace working so diligently to improve themselves. When the third senior brother was in the Heavenly Mandate Realm, he had gotten the inheritance of the demon gods. Later, in the Starry Cultivating Court, he received the inheritance of an imperial star. Now with the comprehension of the divine seal from a great emperor, he would have possessed the inheritance from three great emperors.

His strength had not been truly tested after the breakthrough, but it would be understandably strong. They could only wait and see.

“I have something else to tell you,” Hua Jieyu said with a smile.

“What other happy news?” Ye Futian asked with a smile on his face.

“Uncle Tie thought that while he’s serving as one of the Great Protector, he can open up the fifth palace in Ziwei Emperor Palace—an Armoring Palace—and oversee its operations. It is being built right now in the imperial palace as we speak. This happened while you were away at the Devil World, and the Supreme Elder made the decision that was seconded by everyone. But in the end, we decided to wait for you when you come back,” said Hua Jieyu.

“This is a good idea. How could I say no? You can make the decision on my behalf.” Ye Futian smiled and added, “Don’t forget, you are the Mistress of the Palace.”

“In your absence, it is more appropriate for the Supreme Elder to decide on the affairs inside Ziwei Imperial Palace,” Hua Jieyu replied with much sensibility.

Ye Futian took her hand with a warm smile on his face and said, “Let’s go visit Uncle Tie. The first time I saw Uncle Tie, I thought he was an ordinary blacksmith. It turned out that he was a hidden gem.”

The first time he saw Blind Tie was in the Four Square Village, forging in the blacksmith shop there.

Now, inside Ziwei Imperial Palace, an area was being allocated to build an Armoring Palace, which had already reached a certain scale.

Ye Futian came to the main hall of a massive Armoring Palace and found Blind Tie, who was forging inside. At the moment, he was pounding on some materials, and a rhythmic clinking sound could be heard constantly. His movements were the same as before, solid as a mountain. Every move of repeated percussion was full of violent beauty.

At this time, Blind Tie stopped and turned to face Ye Futian. The temperature inside was extremely high, and the blazing sacred fire of the Great Path was burning under the furnace.

“Palace Lord!” Blind Tie called out.

“Uncle Tie, I have not asked you this before, but how is your armor-making?” Ye Futian asked with a smile.

“It’s alright,” Blind Tie nodded.”When I got back to the village after I lost my eyesight, the teacher told me to forge simple items, and everything that was used inside the village was made by At that time, I was already cultivating in armoring. When I returned from the Shen Clan, I passed by the village and asked the teacher for some advice. The teacher gave me some armoring techniques to practice, and I was a quick study. Not too long ago, I had managed to forge divine arms of the First Tribulation.

“As for the armoring equipment, there was plenty in the former territory occupied by Tianyan City. They belong to us now. The Armoring Palace has just begun, and I haven’t recruited many people. Later on, I plan to conduct recruitment on a grander scale at the Ziwei Segmentum that will complete the Armoring Palace,” Blind Tie told Ye Futian of his plan.

“I will fully support UncleTie’s idea,” Ye Futian said.”But, will this delay your cultivation?”

“When the teacher told me to forge iron tools, it was actually a way to help me settle down. To me, this is a kind of cultivation in itself, and I will only progress further if I continue,” Blind Tie replied.

“Very well.” Ye Futian nodded. “If this is the case, Uncle Tie does not need to serve as the Great Protector in the future but will instead take on the duties as the lord of the Armoring Palace. What do you think?”

“Palace Lord, may I do both?” Blind Tie asked. He still wanted to serve as Ye Futian’s protector but concentrated on armoring and forging most of the time. However, whenever Ye Futian needed him, he wanted to be there as his protector.

Obviously, Ye Futian understood that Blind Tie was not coveting the position and its prestige. He glanced at Blind Tie and nodded, “Fine; we will do as you wish. Lord of the Armoring Palace while serving as the Great Protector as well. I will give them the order to recruit armoring cultivators at Ziwei Imperial Palace.”

“Thank you, Palace Lord.” Blind Tie nodded.

“Uncle Tie, please continue. I’m going elsewhere,” Ye Futian said goodbye and left.

After they left, Ye Futian said to Hua Jieyu,” When Uncle Tie and Daoist Monk Mu both get stronger, and their level of armoring and alchemy have improved, the strength of Ziwei Imperial Palace will also be magnified, far surpassing anything from the Ancient God Clans.”

“Mmm.” Hua Jieyu smiled and nodded. “With you in Ziwei Imperial Palace, the Ancient God Clans already cannot compete with us. Ziwei ImperialPalace’s potential targets are also not the Ancient God Clans.”

Just as Ye Futian was looking at Hua Jieyu, who was beside him, Hua Jieyu, too, was looking at him. She said with a smile, “Now that Ziwei Imperial Palace is moving on the right track, when will you finish handling your business?”

“My business?” Ye Futian looked at Hua Jieyu with some confusion. “What business do I have?”

“You have been busy with cultivation, fighting, and external affairs, and you have not paid too much attention to those around you. Emperor Xia has been kind to us in the past, and although he is now in the Ziwei Imperial Palace, he is not happy. I think you know the reason,” Hua Jieyu continued.

Ye Futian was taken aback, and his expression was not as relaxed as it was moments ago. He said gently, “Jieyu.”

He did not expect Hua Jieyu to start on this topic.

“After all, she was the one who had accompanied you all these years,” Hua Jieyu looked into Ye Futian’s eyes as she continued.

“But, what about you?” Ye Futian looked at Hua Jieyu. Hua Jieyu had also given her everything for him.

“If I don’t care, I don’t think she would either,” Hua Jieyu said with a smile.

“How would you know?” Ye Futian gave her a side-eyed look.

“You idiot. If she cared, she would not have stayed in Ziwei Imperial Palace to cultivate endlessly.” Hua Jieyu sighed. “She was just waiting for you.”

Ye Futian could only stare in front of him, as he had no answer to give.

“For someone on the verge of becoming an emperor, no one would care,” Hua Jieyu continued.

“But could you really not care?” Ye Futian looked into Hua Jieyu’s eyes and saw those beautiful eyes staring right back at him without any evasiveness.

Ye Futian sighed silently in his heart as his thoughts drifted back to that innocent maiden once upon a time. Could she really not care? He didn’t think anyone could.

“On the road to becoming a great emperor, you may fail many, but some should not be overlooked,” Hua Jieyu said with a smile.

“Then I’ll talk about it after I have become an emperor.” Ye Futian knocked on her head playfully and did not continue the topic. However, his heart was disturbed slightly by this talk. How could he not understand how much she had already done for him?

Afterward, Ye Futian went to the former territory of Haotian Clan to check on GuDong’ss cultivation. The imprint of the divine seal was left there by a great emperor, so he stayed there for a while to comprehend it as well. He found this divine seal to be extremely profound as it contained the will of the great emperor.

As for Gu Dongliu, he had already sunk deep into the cultivation of the divine seal and entered into a world completely of his own.

Ye Futian, likewise, spent some time here to comprehend as well. Then, he left to return to Ziwei Imperial Palace.

Under the endless starry sky, Ye Futian sat cross-legged in the Starry Cultivation Court and closed his eyes in cultivation. He had begun yet another cultivation in retreat.

In the battle between the Devil World and the Donghuang Diyuan, he realized that his combat effectiveness was still not strong enough.. He needed an even more powerful offensive power. In the future, the opponents he was to face would be stronger existences than Donghuang Diyuan!
