The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2643 - Reappearance

Chapter 2643: Reappearance

In Four Corner Village on Four Corner Continent in the Shangqing Domain

Ye Futian once again appeared in the village to see Master.

If he had encountered cultivators below the level of a Great Emperor, he naturally would not disturb Master. However, an ancient Great Emperor had now appeared. He felt troubled by this, so he could only come and pay Master a visit.

In the courtyard in the village, Ye Futian came to seek Master’s counsel. The latter’s ethereal figure appeared before him and quietly listened as Ye Futian explained his predicament. There was no change at all to Master’s face. For him, who had transcended worldly matters, it seemed that all this came as no surprise.

At least he was not surprised by what had transpired.

Master explained, “For Tianyan the Great to be reborn by borrowing Wang Xiao’s body, he needed to first merge with the latter’s body and spiritual soul, so your guess should be correct. Tianyan the Great chose Wang Xiao as his successor, but he might have had this goal in mind from the very beginning. He lured them step by step and forged a divine body over several years. Wang Xiao’s body and spiritual soul should be thoroughly merged with Tianyan the Great. However, the latter had always kept his agenda hidden. Even if you had not been involved, Wang Xiao would be consumed sooner or later and become a vessel for Tianyan the Great to be reborn into this world. Hence, it can be said that it was not you who drew him out, but rather you merely accelerated the process.”

“That should be it,” replied Ye Futian as he nodded. “However, if it weren’t for me, Wang Xiao might not have walked this path. Tianyan the Great would have needed to face more obstacles to achieve his goal.”

Ye Futian continued, “Nevertheless, now that he is reborn into the world and is now wielding his previous imperial arm if he wishes to attack the Ziwei Segmentum, I fear that I won’t be able to stand against him even with the will of Great Emperor Ziwei.” He was somewhat worried about this; hence, he had come to discuss things with Master.

After all, Master was also previously a Great Emperor.

Master analyzed, “First of all, that will not happen so soon. As you said, he is cautious of the current Great Emperors of the world, so he does not dare to expose himself. Second, if he wishes to completely merge with Wang Xiao’s figure, he will still need some time. The current him is not Tianyan the Great from his heyday. I believe he still needs to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time. Moreover, none of the Ancient God Clans are as simple as you think, even those that you have attacked.”

Ye Futian quietly listened. Xi Chiyao had warned him about this before as well. The Ancient God Clans weren’t as simple as he thought they were.

Tianyan the Great being reborn into the world was further proof of this. Great Emperors in the Ancient God Clans existed in different forms. All of them truly existed in this world and had another chance to be reborn. They were not merely wills.

Otherwise, there would not be a case like Wang Xiao’s.

That meant that similar situations could happen in the other Ancient God Clans. Great Emperors existed in special forms in the Ancient God Clans and have always passed down their teachings.

Master continued, “Besides that, the Ziwei Segmentum won’t be so easily destroyed. Haven’t you fought back Wang Xiao before?”

“The situation this time is somewhat different. Wang Xiao is no longer himself,” said Ye Futian.

“Hmm,” responded Master as he nodded his head slightly. “Do not overthink things. I will keep an eye on the Ziwei Segmentum.”

“Many thanks, Master,” said Ye Futian as he got up and bowed to him.

Master nodded his head slightly and accepted his bow. He then gestured to Ye Futian to sit down.

“Every time I face a problem, I end up coming to trouble you,” lamented Ye Futian as he shook his head with a bitter smile. As he said this, he felt somewhat embarrassed. Master had actually done so much for him, yet he could not do anything for the former. He felt ashamed.

“It is of no consequence. For us to have met, it was fated to be. We will follow wherever destiny leads us,” said Master with a smile. “Be on your way.”

“Alright,” replied Ye Futian as he nodded his head and bowed once again. He then left the place and returned to the Ziwei Segmentum.

After Ye Futian left, Master gazed into the distance. An ethereal aura still emanated from his figure, yet his eyes were wavering.

The Original Realm had undergone a drastic change, and Tianyan the Great was reborn again into the world. The era was about to change.

This era would become an iconic one for future generations. He wondered how events would play out.

After Ye Futian returned to the Ziwei Segmentum, he once again went into seclusion to cultivate. Tianyan the Great’s rebirth made him feel pressured. Wang Xiao was no threat to him, and he also did not fear the Ancient God Clans. However, he had to be cautious of Tianyan the Great.

As Ye Futian was cultivating, some incidents occurred in the Original Realm that disrupted his cultivation. Old Ma came looking for him.

“What has happened?” asked Ye Futian.

Old Ma reported, “Recently a group of mysterious cultivators have appeared in the Original Realm. They sought out available relics and relied on them to cultivate. Occasionally, they even resorted to plundering the relics. Now, they have invaded territories that we control. Not long ago, they invaded the previous base of the Haotian Clan. No one could stop them. However, the other party also acted within reason. They did not kill, and their goal was only to plunder cultivation resources. It seems like they did not wish to make enemies of us.” It was also because of this that he could report this to Ye Futian in a rather calm manner.

If the other party had committed murder, things would be different.

“Mysterious cultivators?”

Ye Futian frowned slightly. He had encountered cultivators from all Six Realms. No one would act in such a manner. If they were his enemies, they would not have held back.

If so, which force outside the top forces of the Six Realms dared to touch the lands under the Ziwei Segmentum?

“Was the Supreme Elder around?” asked Ye Futian.

“He was, but he still could not hold them back,” replied Old Ma. This caused Ye Futian to reveal a strange look. Lord Chen was already very powerful, and yet he actually could not keep the enemy at bay?

“I will go take a look,” said Ye Futian as he got up.

Both of them headed over to the space teleportation grand matrix in Ziwei Imperial Palace.

After a short while, the teleportation grand matrix activated, and brilliant spatial divine light lit up. Both their figures immediately disappeared and reappeared in the previous base of the Haotian Clan. The base was an ancient relic with a starry sky.

Ye Futian headed in one direction at extremely high speeds. He immediately appeared before a mountain that reached towards the sky. This place had an extremely ancient aura and a very powerful will of the Great Path. A faint emperor’s might emanated from this place.

Up ahead, there were many figures. Lord Chen and Ye Futian’s Third Brother Gu Dongliu were all present. They were looking up ahead. There, a group of cultivators had claimed the palace where Gu Dongliu and the others were supposed to be. They stood before the divine wall and observed the divine seals on it.

The other party consisted of three individuals. The person in the middle was rather young. He kept staring at the divine seals while the other two stood to his left and right. All three of them had powerful auras. They naturally sensed Ye Futian’s arrival, but none of them looked at him.

It was as though Ye Futian did not exist.

Ye Futian looked at the youth. His heart wavered. He recognized the other party, or rather they had met each other once before.

Aside from the Original Realm, there were seven realms in the world. In the past, he had only come across six of them.

There was another realm that had long fallen into oblivion and was forgotten by the world.

It was the Heavenly Emperor Realm!
