Ye Futian’s potential was clear enough to the Divine Prefecture. But the cultivators from the Dark World and Empty Divine Realm, too, could see his potential and the future that awaited him. He possessed various kinds of imperial-level inheritances, all of which were l.u.s.ted after by many enchanting geniuses, but none could obtain and control them except Ye Futian. Such a stunning figure would be another legend in the making.

There was even a chance for him to prove the realm in the supremacy of the Way.

But today’s Ye Futian was still in a period of development, and because he was limited to his own strength, he needed allies. The kind of alliance formed at a time like this would naturally be the most stable.

Now, the Sword G.o.ddess’ cultivation had reached a bottleneck. After the peak of Renhuang, the crossing of the Divine Tribulation follows, which would be a real challenge unimaginably difficult to accomplish. Perhaps, Ye Futian may be able to help her in the future. It was an opportunity for Ye Futian as well as for herself.

“Thank you, elder.” Ye Futian bowed slightly to the Sword G.o.ddess. The Sword G.o.ddess had strong cultivation and was definitely a powerful ally.

“I’ll talk to the other elders,” Ye Futian said again, and the Sword G.o.ddess nodded. “Go,” she said.

Obviously, she understood that Ye Futian wanted to strengthen the power of the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

The Original Realm used to be nothing. But since its unification under Ye Futian, with the power of Ziwei Segmentum behind him, the Original Realm was now a mighty force. As it continued to seek allies, the Heavenly Mandate Academy would become stronger still.

Compared with other princ.i.p.alities in the Divine Prefecture, the academy had already surpa.s.sed most of them. Even the Domain Chief’s Manor was no longer a compet.i.tion unless it recruited some powerful cultivators who had survived the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.

Once such an existence had been produced by the Heavenly Mandate Academy, it would immediately become one of the most powerful princ.i.p.alities in the Divine Prefecture.

Furthermore, this was not taking into consideration that teacher from Four Corner Village. If that teacher was included, then the Heavenly Mandate Academy could be regarded as a pinnacle princ.i.p.ality. However, the teacher seemed to live outside of this world and had no interest in partic.i.p.ating in secular affairs. Even though he made an appearance in that battle in the Original Realm, it was only for protecting Ye Futian, and he did not demonstrate his full strength.

Ye Futian found the Duan family as well. Duan Tianxiong from the ancient royal family of Duan agreed readily enough. He was on Ye Futian’s side in that battle and would never refuse such a request. In addition, he was already quite optimistic about Ye Futian when they were still in the Divine Prefecture. Later, he had witnessed the strength and the cultivation of the teacher from Four Corner Village, coupled with more and more revelations of Ye Futian’s enchanting talents. He would obviously never miss an opportunity to form such a powerful alliance with the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

Finally, Ye Futian came to Emperor Xi and bowed, saying, “Emperor Xi.”

“I heard what you said just now; do you want me to become an ally of the academy as well?” Emperor Xi smiled and asked Ye Futian.

“I dare not.” Ye Futian shook his head and said, “My life was saved by the elder, or I may very well have already perished in the battle at Donghua Domain. Many of our friends also owed the elder for sheltering them in their time of needs, so I am in no position to demand anything from you. I only wanted to let you know that the elder and cultivators from Turtle Deity Island are more than welcome to cultivate at Ziwei Imperial Palace any time you wish. You can also go to Four Corner Village if you wish. There are some cultivation grounds in the village that may be suitable for Renhuang from Turtle Deity Island.”

“Mmm.” Emperor Xi smiled and nodded. “If I have the opportunity, I would also like to visit the teacher in the village, but I don’t know if he would see it as a disturbance to his cultivation.”

“If Emperor Xi were to visit in person, the teacher should be willing to receive you,” Ye Futian replied.

As for Emperor Xi and the Millet Emperor, Ye Futian would not mention anything about the alliance. He had previously cultivated at w.a.n.gshen Watchtower, and he owed Emperor Xi his life. So, he wouldn’t talk to them about the alliance because their relations.h.i.+ps were different.

Moreover, even if he didn’t mention it, in time of real crisis, Emperor Xi, the Millet Emperor, and the others would not stand idly by. All of them were there in the last battle.

“Futian.” Emperor Xi looked at Ye Futian and suddenly asked, “You now have comprehended the will of many Great Emperors, and your understanding is deeper than most, so the speed of your cultivation is much faster than of ordinary people. How many years will it take you to reach the peak of Renhuang?”

“Within 20 years,” said Ye Futian.

“20 years,” Emperor Xi nodded. If he could really do it in 20 years, it would be considered extremely fast. With Ye Futian’s combat effectiveness, once he stepped into the peak of Renhuang, he would unlikely to find any opponents beneath cultivators of the Tribulation level.

“How about Divine Tribulations?” Emperor Xi asked again.

Ye Futian shook his head. “I haven’t even touched the peak of Renhuang. I have no idea how long it will be for me to cross the Divine Tribulations.

“Which level do you think you can reach?” Emperor Xi looked at him and asked. When he was crossing the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path on Turtle Deity Island, it was fraught with danger. He felt that was already his limit, and his cultivation had reached its limit.

He was quite satisfied with his own progress. Even if he stayed at this level, he would still be one of the top cultivators in the world.

However, any cultivator would want to go to higher ground and see further, and he was just a few steps away from the highest point. But these couple of steps were insurmountable for the majority of the people.

Ye Futian revealed a look of contemplation as if recalling his youth. He thought of his adoptive father. After having experienced so much, the memories of the past were like a century ago and had become a little obscured with time. But some things had already been seared inside of him.

He was destined for greatness, and he believed in his adoptive father and himself. He knew that in time, he would reach that point.

“Imperial,” Ye Futian looked at Emperor Xi.

Emperor Xi looked at Ye Futian’s eyes and saw there was great confidence in the depth of those eyes. With this one word, how many in the world dared to say that they were capable of setting foot in that realm?

Even those who had survived the second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path dared not to lay so bold a claim.

But Ye Futian had bluntly stated that he could get there.

Emperor Xi was touched in his heart; this youngster had such unshakeable confidence in himself.

“I can’t wait to see it,” Emperor Xi said with a smile and some expectations.

At this moment, an extremely powerful aura suddenly came upon them, causing Emperor Xi and Ye Futian to end their conversation. They looked far into the distance and saw that a figure was bathing in an incomparable starry glow under the stars. Above the starry sky, an Imperial Star was emitting magnificent divine glory. As the Imperial Star’s divine glory descended on that cultivator, terrible changes took place in him as his aura continued to become stronger.

“Uncle Tie!” Ye Futian had a surprised look on his face, as that cultivator who bathed in divine glory was Blind Tie.

An indescribable golden glory burst from Blind Tie, and the shape of the divine hammer could be faintly made out, filled with shocking power. He was covered with golden armor, s.h.i.+ning lights streaming all around him. An even more perfect aura now spread out from him.

The cultivators in Four Corner Village were looking there as well, feeling quite emotional.

Blind Tie was about to make a breakthrough!
