Ye Liunian, also known as the Sword Emperor Liunian, was a disciple of the Eastern Deity Island. He followed the G.o.ddess Donglai to cultivate in w.a.n.gshen Watchtower and had singlehandedly thwarted the attack by cultivators of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and defeated Yan Dongyang, the prince of the Great Yan.

While Emperor Xi was proving his path, Ye Liunian fought against Ling He of the Ling Xiao Palace at the Turtle Deity Island and won a resounding victory.

And now, the Donghua Academy invited cultivators from w.a.n.gshen Watchtower over to spar. Ye Futian demonstrated his talent again. When three esteemed cultivators—Desolation, Jiang Yueli, and Zong Chan—a.s.sessed their Divine Wheels in front of the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels, the mirror emitted five wheels of divine light. Both of Ye Futian’s Divine Wheels managed to make the mirror release five wheels of divine light, which put him in the same league as the three ill.u.s.trious cultivators.

After that, he sparred with Kong Xiao, the genius cultivator of the Donghua Academy. Not only did he defeat Kong Xiao, but he also revealed a Divine Wheel of the Great Path that seemed to be even stronger than the ones he tested in front of the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels. He might be comparable to the best cultivator in the Donghua Heavens—Ning Hua, who could make the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels emit six wheels of divine light yet didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the previous a.s.sessment session.

Moreover, all of this news came from the Donghua Academy and were confirmed to be true. An unparalleled genius popped out of nowhere and came to the Donghua Heavens all the way from the Eastern Deity Island.

Many people claimed that the Sword Emperor Liunian might come to enter the Domain Chief’s Manor. If that was the case, there was no doubt that he would achieve his goal in light of his talent and ability. If he successfully entered the Domain Chief’s Manor, the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family wouldn’t be able to deal with him anymore. By that time, he would directly threaten the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and might even take revenge for the Supreme Deity Donglai if he took control.

In a word, Ye Futian rose to fame after his trip to Donghua Academy. Countless people were talking about another powerful genius from the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower after Zong Chan. Even though w.a.n.gshen Watchtower didn’t have a long history or a rich heritage, they seemed to be in their heyday right now.

At this time, Ye Futian was strolling down the street, admiring the scenery of the Donghua Heavens.

He was enjoying a rare chance to rest and relax since he had nothing to do at the moment.

Xia Qingyuan, Leng Yan, and Leng Xi were walking next to him. Leng Xi visited him to ask for some guidance after they returned to the Leng family that day. Ye Futian was a generous man and offered some thoughts on cultivation. Nevertheless, cultivation was a personal matter and mostly depended on one’s own comprehension.

“Senior, many people have been gossiping about you along our way,” Leng Xi said in a low voice. They could hear people talking about Ye Liunian the Sword Emperor anywhere they went. It was apparent that Ye Liunian had become a legend in the Donghua Heavens.

Ye Futian remained impa.s.sive and didn’t respond. Xia Qingyuan threw him a sideways glance.

Leng Yan noticed Ye Futian’s inexpressive face and said to Xia Qingyuan, “My lady, are you two completely unmoved for real?”

Even Leng Yan was quite excited about Ye Futian’s newly gained popularity in the Donghua Heavens. Did Ye Futian remain unaffected by the circ.u.mstances because he had cultivated to the Renhuang Plane?

“He is used to it.” Xia Qingyuan felt strange about the way she was addressed, yet she didn’t correct him. She looked at Ye Futian’s silhouette and answered Leng Yan.

“He is used to it?” Leng Yan muttered.

Xia Qingyuan nodded and didn’t explain further. No one in the Original Realm hadn’t heard Ye Futian’s name. Donghua Heavens was just a different place with stronger cultivators and more geniuses. Even so, Ye Futian was still the most dazzling one of all.

Besides, Ye Futian was not who he used to be in the past. He had cultivated to the middle-level Renhuang Plane and was marching steadfastly to the top.

Leng Yan touched Leng Xi’s arm. Leng Xi shot a glare back but quickly returned normal and asked Xia Qingyuan, “My lady, would you like to take on some disciples? I want to cultivate under your instruction and serve you in your daily life, so you won’t have to do many things by yourself.”

Xia Qingyuan was at a loss for words. It was obvious that they were trying to be close to Ye Futian through her since Ye Futian turned them down. As cultivators in the Sage Plane, it was not easy for them to ask with thick skin to be her disciples.

Nonetheless, Xia Qingyuan knew that Ye Futian wouldn’t recruit any disciple here.

He was still trying to secure a place here himself. How could he have the spare time to teach students? He would not consider it unless he could gain a foothold in the Divine Prefecture like the Millet Emperor.

“Your seniors are better than me. How could I teach you?” Xia Qingyuan replied quietly.

“I can sense that you’re also an extraordinary cultivator who has been hiding your capacities. You are the most beautiful woman with the most elegant bearing that I have ever seen. You and Senior Ye seem like a perfect couple together. Of course, you can teach me.” Leng Yan was ready to go ahead at any price, including his pride. He genuinely admired Ye Futian and wanted to learn from him. His families and seniors were all very supportive after they heard about his idea.

Xia Qingyuan looked at him and suddenly cracked a smile, said, “Actually, I’m not his wife.”

“Ugh…” Leng Yan blinked quickly in a fl.u.s.ter, but he soon reacted and said, “Then you’re the future wife.”

Xia Qingyuan glanced at Ye Futian, who said to Leng Yan, “Stop coming up with these ideas. I won’t take disciples at this point.”

A look of disappointment pa.s.sed over Leng Yan’s face. But he still said, “Please consider me if you want to recruit disciples in the future.”

“Alright,” Ye Futian nodded with a smile.

“What is that place?” Ye Futian looked ahead and saw a palace high in the clouds. Many cultivators were gathering at the foot of the palace, including plenty of people in the Renhuang Plane.

On top of that, Ye Futian also noticed that more people were coming from far away.

“A celestial pavilion in the Donghua Heavens that operates as a lodge. However, not everyone can enter some of the top celestial pavilions in the Donghua Heavens,” Leng Yan said.

“It looks like someone prominent is here,” Ye Futian said while walking toward the palace. Many people huddled together under the celestial pavilion, discussing something.

“Taihua Mountain,” Ye Futian muttered to himself after he heard their conversation. He cast his mind back and realized who was coming.

The Donghua Domain had seven main continents, two islands, and one mountain. A large number of top forces resided in the seven main continents. The Donghua Heavens had the Domain Chief’s Manor, Lingxiao Palace, and Donghua Academy; the Dongxiao Continent had the w.a.n.gshen Watchtower; the Northern White Snow Capital had the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow; the Yanyun Continent had the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family; the Badlands Continent had the Desolate G.o.d Palace; the Luotian Continent had the Jiang Clan Ancient Royal Family, while the Nanhua Continent had the Nanhua Clan.

All seven main continents in the Donghua Domain were occupied by top forces. Besides that, there were two islands and a mountain left.

The two islands were the Turtle Deity Island of the Divine Ocean Continent and the Eastern Deity Island of the Penglai Continent.

At last, there was Taihua Mountain, which was the princ.i.p.al mountain in the Donghua Domain.

These were places where all the influential figures cultivated in the Donghua Domain.

The Taihua Mountain was not controlled by any family or clan, but it was a cultivation temple for a master cultivator referred to as the Taihua Skylord. He was a hermit with unfathomable power. Instead of recruiting disciples and or growing his power outside, he had devoted himself to cultivation.

Other than Taihua Skylord, another person in the Taihua Mountain was also well-known. Allegedly, Taihua Skylord’s daughter G.o.ddess Taihua was extremely talented and stunning. Her unparalleled beauty took the breath away of everyone who had met her. Some people even called her the finest G.o.ddess of the Donghua Domain.

Nevertheless, not many people had met G.o.ddess Taihua because the Taihua Mountain was secluded while no one dared to disturb them rashly. Even so, her reputation grew, and rumors about her spread.

“Taihua Skylord and G.o.ddess Taihua are here as well?” Leng Xi and Leng Yan were both astounded. “It looks like the chief may have sent someone to invite them.”

Ye Futian remembered that Taihua Skylord didn’t even show up when Emperor Xi was facing the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. So it might have been the chief who invited them this time.

Other people in front of them were also chatting about how the chief had summoned all the best cultivators in the Donghua Domain. He was probably the only one who had such power.

“Is G.o.ddess Taihua really as beautiful as the rumors claim?” Leng Xi asked.

“A cultivator on a high plane can absorb the essence of the world and become more beautiful. That’s why there are many gorgeous women among the cultivators. G.o.ddess Taihua must be phenomenal, but I doubt anyone in this world is truly unmatched,” Ye Futian said with a smile.

“Yes, my lady… G.o.ddess Xia is also incredibly beautiful,” said Leng Xi.

Ye Futian was stunned for a moment upon hearing Leng Xi’s words. Then he cracked a smile. Leng Xi probably misunderstood the meaning of his casual comment. After all, he had seen so many gorgeous women, including Princess Donghuang. Most women could never have her majestic bearing.

“But G.o.ddess Taihua must be very attractive. Besides, she cultivates the Divine Melody. It’s impossible to say how many people are dying to meet her. It seems like they finally have a chance now,” Leng Xi said in a quiet voice.

At this point, a team of cultivators walked to the celestial pavilion and said, “We are entrusted by the chief to invite the Skylord and the G.o.ddess to rest in the manor.”

“That’s not necessary. We’re fine here. Please thank the chief for me. I won’t go over to bother him,” Taihua Skylord replied. He apparently didn’t want to go to stay in the Domain Chief’s Manor. Maybe he was used to some peace and quiet.

“Alright, we will go back to relay the message then,” one person said, “There is another matter. We can host the Donghua Banquet now that the Skylord is here. We shall be delighted to have your presence at the Domain Chief’s Manor in three days.”

“I will go on time for sure,” Taihua Skylord replied. The crowd was simmering with excitement. The Donghua Banquet was finally coming in three days. It was surprising how pressing it was.

It seems that they had been waiting for Taihua Skylord before.

The Domain Chief’s Manor must be tracking the movements of cultivators everywhere. They would host the Donghua Banquet as long as all the top cultivators had arrived. Since other forces had turned up one after another, they could set the time now that Taihua Skylord was here as well.

Ye Futian looked in that direction. It was happening in three days. So the Domain Chief’s Manor would inform the entire Donghua Heavens within a day!
