Chapter 2360: Abnormal Relations.h.i.+p?

They were doubtful about Ye Futian’s background.

Ye Futian naturally realized this. He glanced around at the various cultivators. When he heard Xi Chiyao’s statements before, he knew that the various forces of the Divine Prefecture had a deep understanding of him. It was normal for them to speculate.

“What sort of background could I have come from? Ever since I started cultivating in the Nine States in the Lower Worlds, I have pa.s.sed through trials and tribulations to reach where I am today. I was born in a small place that most likely all of you have never heard of. If I came from an extraordinary background, wouldn’t I be the same as everyone here and be cultivating in the Upper Worlds of the Divine Prefecture?” said Ye Futian with a smile. He appeared casual as he said this. Let alone other people who were speculating, even he himself was not clear about his own background.

He naturally knew that his parents in Qingzhou were not his birth parents; they must be somebody else. It was very strange that his parents and family had disappeared. They might have intentionally wanted to hide something. Moreover, the existence of his G.o.dfather had proven this point. A super cultivator of the Devil World had been watching over him in Qingzhou and claimed that he was born an emperor. How could Ye Futian’s background be simple?

Of course, he wouldn’t reveal these facts. Who knew what would happen if he did. Since his G.o.dfather had intentionally kept it a secret, he would need to do so too. If a day came that he did not need to do so anymore, he might know the whole truth then.

A cultivator of the Divine Prefecture replied, “For a cultivator from a small place, you have managed to suppress various monstrous figures and unify the Original Realm. You defeated the cultivators of the Ancient G.o.d Clan as well as the disciple of the Devil Emperor. You also inherited the teachings of several Great Emperors. With unparalleled talent, you have conquered most of the relics of the Great Emperors. You unlocked the teachings of the Demon Peac.o.c.k Emperor back in the secret zone of the Donghua Domain. Renhuang Ye, I suspect no one will believe you when you claim that your background is ordinary.”

“It is reasonable for you to think so. It might be that I had an extraordinary birth and that I am a descendant of a deity who placed me in the mortal realm to grow and hone my will and character. No wonder I have such extraordinary talents. Thank you for reminding me. I seem to have understood some things,” replied Ye Futian with a smile. “However, if that is truly the case, the deity who gave birth to me is truly harsh, letting me face such trials and tribulations. In the future, if it turns out to be true, I will not recognize them as my parents.”

When the crowd heard Ye Futian jokingly say this, they were speechless. This fellow was actually praising himself. However, what he said made sense. If the truth was as they speculated and Ye Futian’s background was extraordinary, why did he need to experience so many hards.h.i.+ps?

When they were investigating Ye Futian’s history of development, they discovered that it was no small feat that he had managed to survive to the present day. He had fought his way through to this day. Ignoring the talent that he was born with, all his experiences were real.

Unless…

Various people revealed contemplative looks. They seemed to be considering some possibility.

Some senior cultivators understood that part of history better. It couldn’t be like that, could it?

However, if it was truly so, they still did not dare to mention it. They merely speculated inside their minds. How likely was that possible?

It might be that they were overthinking things. Some people were destined to be extraordinary from birth. They were rare finds that appeared once every thousand or ten thousand years. Such people were not unheard of in the history of the cultivation world.

“Rumor has it that Renhuang Ye has allied with the Lost Clan and allowed their cultivators to enter the starry cultivation court of the Ziwei Segmentum and the Four Corner Village,” someone said, changing the subject. They no longer wanted to speak on the matter of Ye Futian’s background.

Ye Futian responded calmly, “Hmm, the Heavenly Mandate Academy has already allied with the Lost Clan. Currently, the Shenyi Continent is right next to the Heavenly Mandate Realm. I believe that all of you have already long known of this. I hope that all of you may set aside your differences and stand against the cultivators of the other worlds together with us.” This was no secret; everyone already knew about this.

“A little grudge is no big deal. We are all reasonable people. For the greater good, we naturally know what to do. I believe it is the same for Renhuang Ye. Now, the Divine Prefecture is one. The various forces have united and are now allies. Since Renhuang Ye is willing to ally with the Lost Clan, you must certainly also be willing to ally with us. In the future, if the opportunity arises, Renhuang Ye can head to the Divine Prefecture to cultivate amongst our forces and learn the magnum opuses of our clans,” someone said freely and frankly. This caused the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy to all reveal strange expressions.

Was this fellow who was speaking coveting the cultivation techniques of the Ziwei Segmentum, the Four Corner Village, as well as the Lost Clan?

Ye Futian could head over to cultivate with the clans and forces of the Divine Prefecture in the future?

Now, the Original Realm was facing a huge change. Who could say for sure what would happen in the future? However, it was certain that the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture wanted to first cultivate the fateful encounters that Ye Futian had obtained.

Ye Futian did not point it out. Now, most of the forces of the Divine Prefecture were dissatisfied with him and had objections with him. His stance during the battle against the Lost Clan back then had, in fact, aided the Lost Clan. Under such circ.u.mstances, he did not want to offend the forces of the Divine Prefecture further. Right then, this person made this proposal for him to concede and offer up the fateful encounters that he had obtained to the forces of the Divine Prefecture to cultivate. This would settle the score.

In reality, they wanted Ye Futian to make a sacrifice to obtain the forgiveness of the forces of the Divine Prefecture.

“Senior, what you say is true. I am also of the same mind. Hence, I made an alliance with the Lost Clan, and we exchanged cultivation resources with each other. I taught the members of the Lost Clan attack techniques and allowed their cultivators to head over to the starry cultivation court in the Ziwei Segmentum to cultivate. Similarly, the members of the Heavenly Mandate Academy also entered into the secret zone of the Lost Clan to cultivate. I myself have also mastered the Battle Matrix of the Rocks,” revealed Ye Futian as he looked at the other party. “If all of you are willing to form an alliance with us for the greater good of the Divine Prefecture, I will naturally have no objections. I am willing to offer up the cultivation resources that the Heavenly Mandate Academy controls in exchange for all your cultivation techniques. We shall improve together to face the changes in the Original Realm.”

He said this in a friendly tone as he did not mind forming alliances. However, if the members of the Divine Prefecture merely coveted his cultivation resources, it was meaningless for him to concede. He might even be making his future enemies stronger by allowing the members of the Divine Prefecture to improve their abilities.

If a force was not willing to forge an alliance and exchange cultivation resources, Ye Futian did not believe that the other party would be grateful for his aid. If he gave them an inch, the other party would ask for a foot. For instance, they might seek the teachings of the Great Emperors.

If that was the case, he might as well draw a line in the sand clearly.

When the elder heard Ye Futian say this, he narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that it was impossible for them to make this top genius in the Original Realm concede.

During the battle against the Lost Clan, Ye Futian had offended many forces of the Divine Prefecture. Was he actually not afraid of the consequences?

“Then, what about G.o.ddess Chiyao? If she joins the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate, is that considered having forged an alliance with you?” someone asked. Divine light shot out from Xi Chiyao’s beautiful gaze as she looked at the other party. Her eyes actually contained formless pressure that enveloped the other party from afar.

The cultivator who had spoken was a ninth-tier Renhuang. Xi Chiyao was actually not afraid of him, glaring at him all the same. He frowned and swept a glance at the other party. Xi Chiyao said, “Since I have joined the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate, I will naturally follow the arrangements of the College Chief. I will cultivate in whatever Renhuang Ye allows me to.”

As she said this, Xi Chiyao smiled and said to Ye Futian, “Renhuang Ye, what do you think about this?”

“G.o.ddess Chiyao, since you are willing to do so, I will not turn you away,” replied Ye Futian. This caused the members of the Divine Prefecture to stare at the two of them. Why did the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them feel abnormal?
