The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2009: The Chief’s Invitation

It was year 10,051 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar. The Wangshen Watchtower was very quiet.

In the watchtower, Ye Futian was cultivating. In the conceptual space of the watchtower, there was another watchtower erected high, akin to an immutable gate. It suppressed the surrounding space, as though it was an eternal existence.

Ye Futian sat cross-legged. A dazzling scene appeared around him.

It was a brilliant galaxy. Stars were all around the space as they circled around him. Besides that, there were gigantic divine elephants. These divine elephants were like demonic beasts that were traversing the universe. They emanated terrifying pressure of the Great Path, causing this part of the space to weigh down heavily on Ye Futian. Stone tablets appeared in this starry space. Runes of the Great Path seemed to be craved on these stone tablets. The runes emitted the light of the Buddha while the soul-slaying Buddhist chant could faintly be heard. The stone tablets shone brightly with marvelous divine light. Be it soul or body, everything would perish here.

This space was a brand new domain of the Great Path. Ye Futian merged Gate to World Suppression, which was created by Millet Emperor, into his own comprehension to create this unique technique. The origin of this new technique was Gate to World Suppression, yet these two techniques were slightly different. As for which technique was stronger, it still depended on the cultivator who unleashed the technique. Gate to World Suppression unleashed by Millet Emperor, who had a powerful cultivation, was naturally much stronger than the new technique unleashed by Ye Futian.

Of course, Ye Futian also cultivated the Great Path of Suppression. Hence, the technique created by him was also very powerful.

Outside the Wangshen Watchtower, a few silhouettes approached the area. They looked in the direction where the watchtower was. Their gazes saw through the conceptual space, seemingly able to witness Ye Futian cultivating inside.

“Younger Brother Ye is impressive. It has only been a few months and he has already merged Gate to World Suppression into his own comprehension, creating such a domineering Great Path domain.” Li Changsheng said, “Young Brother Zong, it seems that what I said is true. In the future, Young Brother Ye’s ability might be on par with yours.”

Zong Chan, who was beside Li Changsheng, smiled nonchalantly. He said, “Before his arrival, I was the only one among the cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower who has inherited Master’s Gate to World Suppression. It is better now that Young Brother Ye has such achievements. I hope that he can also forge a flawless upper-level Renhuang Divine Wheel. His achievements are my motivation. I am more motivated to improve myself since I can’t stand being surpassed by Younger Brother Ye.”

Zong Chan lamented, “My path of training is one that has been travelled by Master before. On the other hand, Younger Brother Ye merges Master’s skill into his own technique. Considering this, he is indeed stronger than me.”

Li Changsheng comforted him by saying, “Don’t put it like that. You walk the path that Master has treaded on before exactly because you are the chosen one. You are born with a talent that is similar to Master’s. Therefore, you have had a smooth training journey following Master’s footsteps. Because of that, you were also able to maintain a flawless Divine Wheel when you broke through to the upper-level Renhuang Pane. If you continue to cultivate and refine your skills, you might be able to surpass Master.”

“What Changsheng says is not wrong. Everyone has different fateful encounters. It is impossible for any two people to walk the exact cultivation journey. Zong Chan, you will surely surpass me in the future. Do not doubt yourself. If Younger Brother Ye can do the same as you, then it is convenient for both of you to compare yourself against each other. With comparison will you gain motivation. Since you have reached this stage in your cultivation, you must also have a sense of respect and not be proud. Similarly, you must also have strong beliefs to reach the peak,” Millet Emperor advised as he looked at Li Changsheng and Zong Chan. He had appeared high above them.

“Master,” both of them greeted as they bowed when they saw Millet Emperor appear. “We will remember your advice.”

Their master meant to say that once they had reached their current stage, they were already at the top level of cultivation, standing above all of creation. There did not seem to be much room for improvement for them, yet they still had a long way to go. They could not be blindly arrogant, but also needed intense self-confidence. It appeared to be paradoxical, yet it was complementary.

If cultivation was like climbing a mountain, they were at the top of the mountain; the only place left to go was the peak.

“What news do all of you bring with you?” Millet Emperor asked.

“Hmm,” replied Li Changsheng as he nodded his head. “Today, it is the year 10,051 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar. Another 50 years have passed. News has come from the Donghua Heavens. They have invited the cultivators from the various continents of the Donghua Domain to gather.”

Millet Emperor nodded his head and said, “On Turtle Deity Island, Chief has already reminded us of this event. It is no surprise that he will send messengers over soon.”

Li Changsheng and Zong Chan nodded their heads in agreement. They believed Millet Emperor’s deduction. As expected, just as Millet Emperor finished saying this, an intense wave of power of the Great Path of Space came from the sky above. A brilliant divine spatial light descended from the sky. A group of people then appeared high above the cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower.

“They had arrived,” Li Changsheng muttered as he looked over in their direction. The group of figures approached the cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower and looked over here from a distance. One of their members said in a loud voice, “By order of the Chief, we have come to invite Senior Millet Emperor as well as the cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower to the Donghua Heavens for a gathering.”

“Please inform Chief that I will be bringing the cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower to the Donghua Heavens,” Millet Emperor replied as he gazed into the distance.

“Many thanks, Millet Emperor,” replied the people who had come. “We will return with your response. Farewell.”

As they said this, golden lightning radiated from their bodies. Their figures immediately disappeared from their positions. It was as though they had never been here in the first place.

At that moment, the cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower were all looking over in that direction with their heads raised. They naturally understood that the Chief the messengers referred to was the Donghua Domain’s Domain Chief. Aside from him, who else dared to refer to themselves as Chief before Millet Emperor?

The cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower were somewhat surprised. However, for Millet Emperor and the others, this was within their expectations. Hence, they appeared very calm. Domain Chief’s Manor invited the cultivators of the Donghua Domain. They would personally send messengers to superpowers to invite them over. This was to show them due respect. As for the other cultivators of the Donghua Domain as well as the cultivators from other continents, it was up to them. Domain Chief’s Manor would not personally invite them. This was more of a logistical constraint.

However, one could imagine that, after the grand occasion on Turtle Deity Island last year, the Donghua Heavens would organize an event that surpassed that of Turtle Deity Island in terms of scale. Domain Chief’s Manor had waited 50 years before gathering the top forces of various continents as well as the cultivators of the Donghua Domain again.

Right at this moment, Ye Futian’s aura fluctuation could be sensed from the watchtower. The Great Path domain dissipated as the galaxy disappeared. Ye Futian came out from the watchtower.

Millet Emperor and the rest detected Ye Futian’s movement and shifted their gazes towards him. His silver hair was dancing in the wind while his gaze was as profound as the galaxy. His temperament was otherworldly.

If it wasn’t because Millet Emperor knew that Ye Futian was from the Original Realm, he would most likely assume that Ye Futian was from one of the super powerful families.

“Teacher,” Ye Futian greeted Millet Emperor. He stopped not far away from the group and bowed slightly at Millet Emperor. Then, he looked at Li Changsheng and Zong Chan and greeted, “Elder Brothers.”

“Did you succeed in your cultivation?” Li Changsheng asked with a smile.

Ye Futian answered, “Gate to World Suppression is marvelous. With my current level of cultivation, I still can’t comprehend all of it. I can only incorporate what I have managed to comprehend into my skill. I still have a long way to go.”

“Younger Brother always speaks so humbly,” Li Changsheng said jokingly. Ye Futian smiled as he shrugged his shoulders.

“Just now I overheard that the Domain Chief is gathering all the cultivators in the Donghua Domain?” asked Ye Futian.

“Hmm,” Millet Emperor nodded in affirmation. “Previously, when we were at Turtle Deity Island, we didn’t manage to forge connections with the cultivators from Domain Chief’s Manor. This is a good opportunity if you want to enter Domain Chief’s Manor. With your ability, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

Ye Futian nodded, inquiring, “Will Teacher and Elder Brothers attend the gathering this time?”

“Chief has personally invited us. Moreover, this is an event that occurs once every 50 years. Everyone in the Donghua Domain will show him face. The cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower are no exception,” Millet Emperor replied. After all, Domain Chief’s Manor was the ruling force of the Donghua Domain in name. The Domain Chief was appointed by Donghuang the Great. Since Chief had personally sent a representative to invite them to the gathering, all the cultivators who trained in the Donghua Domain would give Chief face and attend the event.

“Understood.” Ye Futian nodded slightly. Domain Chief’s Manor was the core area of the Donghua Domain. It was located in the Donghua Heavens. After he entered Domain Chief’s Manor, it meant that he would have the chance to come in contact with the top forces in the Divine Prefecture. Once he was on the radar of the top forces of the Divine Prefecture, he might encounter some old friends again.

Even though the Divine Prefecture was huge, it only had 18 domains. Every Domain Chief’s Manor in each domain was a core area in the Divine Prefecture. Domain Chief’s Manor in the Donghua Domain was no exception to that.

What would Ye Futian do if he encountered his ‘old friends?’

It seemed like Millet Emperor’s suggestion was right on point. Ye Futian indeed needed to enter Domain Chief’s Manor to cultivate. Once he became a member of Domain Chief’s Manor, his former enemies would not dare to attack him lightly even if they met in the future.

Once he entered Domain Chief’s Manor, it was equivalent to him entering the core forces of the Divine Prefecture. He was also one step closer to Donghuang the Great. He should also be closer to revealing the truth about his origins and the secret of his godfather. By the time he broke through to the upper-level Renhuang Plane, he should be able to slowly unveil these skeletons in the closet, right?

He also had no idea what was going on in the Original Realm now. Did Jieyu manage to find herself again? Did Yu Sheng go to cultivate in the Devil World?

Back when Ye Futian was still in the Original Realm, Devil General Mei Ting had also remained there. Mei Ting certainly had a deep connection with Yu Sheng. Would he bring Yu Sheng along when he left?

Ye Futian had no answers to any of these questions. Right now, the main thing that he needed to focus on was to break through to the upper-level Renhuang Plane as soon as possible.

Since he came to the Divine Prefecture, his level of cultivation had been improving at the speed of lightning. However, once he reached his current level of cultivation, it was extremely difficult to break through to the next Plane!
