The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2318: Explanation

The cultivator from the Song Imperial City was somewhat curious. Why was Ye Futian inquiring about those close to the Devil Emperor?

On that same note, why had the direct disciple of the Devil Emperor immediately come looking for Ye Futian after arriving in the Original Realm?

Mei Ting, a Devil General of the Devil World, seemed to be exceptionally interested in Ye Futian. Could it be that there were some secrets behind all this?

However, the cultivator from the Song Imperial City did not inquire further about this. Each person had their own secrets. As long as they were unrelated to him, there was no need to pry. He had come to befriend Ye Futian, so he would not do anything to offend him. Prying into the secrets of others was undoubtedly one of the most offensive acts possible.

Since there were secrets involved, it was naturally better for fewer people to know about it. Nobody wished to expose everything about themselves in front of others.

“If Renhuang Ye has other questions, feel free to ask me,” the cultivator from the Song Imperial City said with a smile. “I have cultivated for quite a long time in the Divine Prefecture. Even though I don’t claim to know much, I have heard of many things before.” He appeared exceptionally sincere in his speech.

Ye Futian had just defeated a direct disciple of the Devil Emperor. The battle was significant, indicating that Ye Futian would attain even higher achievements in the future. He would certainly be able to experience a divine tribulation of the Great Path. The sky was his limit.

Ye Futian naturally sensed the goodwill of the other party. The way the cultivators of the Song Imperial City treated him now was completely different from before. This change happened because of his current status and improvement in abilities. In the past, Song Imperial City wanted to take him under their wing to control him. Now, they wanted to befriend him.

Nevertheless, Ye Futian didn’t inquire further about the matters of the Devil World; it would be too obvious if he continued asking about them.

“Cultivators from all around the world have gathered here. Since the cultivators from the Devil World have arrived, most likely cultivators from the other Realms will also be here, right?” Ye Futian asked.

“I am not sure about the cultivators from the World of Buddhism. But I think they will be here too. I’m also not so certain about what’s happening in the Heaven Realm currently. As for the Human Realm, most likely some cultivators will come over,” replied the cultivator from the Song Imperial City. “It goes without saying for the cultivators from the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm.”

Ye Futian nodded his head. This time, the storm in the Original Realm was growing more and more intense. The cultivators of the Divine Prefecture were not the only ones who caught wind of it. Top forces arrived in the Original Realm consecutively. Aside from that, before this, the Empty Divine Realm and the Dark World had constantly sent more cultivators here. Now, the cultivators of the Devil World appeared, and a direct disciple of the Devil Emperor had descended upon the Original Realm. Hence, Ye Futian was speculating whether or not the cultivators from the other worlds would also come.

He did not know what had happened in the battle back then. The Dark World, the Divine Prefecture, and the Empty Divine Realm experienced their most direct conflict ever. The World of Buddhism had good relations with the Donghuang Imperial Palace in the Divine Prefecture. After all, Donghuang the Great had previously ventured to the World of Buddhism to seek the Path.

Ye Futian knew more about the World of Buddhism because of his relationship with Yu Sheng. From the looks of it, the Devil World was not close with any other world. However, they also did not bear any obvious animosity towards any world. At least, that was what Ye Futian perceived at the moment.

He had previously encountered a mysterious cultivator in the Heaven Realm.

As for the Human Realm, he had never come in contact with it up until now.

Now, would the cultivators of the Human Realm also come to the Original Realm?

“Does Senior know much about the Human Realm?” Ye Futian asked.

The cultivator from the Song Imperial City replied, “I know little about it. I learned about it mainly from the ancient scriptures. Some elders mentioned something before. Rumor has it that after the collapse of the Heavenly Path, the main world formed was the Human Realm. From there, division occurred, and after countless years, things are what we see today. I heard that the Human Ancestor of the Human Realm is quite close with Donghuang the Great. The former has lent his aid to the latter before. The Human Ancestor has lived for eons. He is kind and is adored by many people. It is said that even Donghuang the Great looks highly on him. As for whether or not the few legendary top figures have good relationships among themselves, that’s not something I can possibly know.”

Ye Futian nodded. Those figures were people on another level. They were at the true pinnacle. They were supreme rulers of the world.

The people down below could only speculate about their relationships based on what they observed. Only the legendary figures knew exactly how things were among themselves.

However, based on the bits and pieces collected, Ye Futian could roughly tell that Donghuang the Great was truly an imposing hero. 300 or 400 years after he had made his name known, he was already on par with those Great Emperors who had been dominant for centuries. Besides that, Donghuang the Great seemed to have good relationships with the World of Buddhism and the Human Realm.

Back then, why did Donghuang the Great go against Emperor Ye Qing?

“Are there truly only seven Great Emperors in existence?” Ye Futian continued asking. Now that he had reached his current cultivation Plane, he had the desire to know more about these things that were unknown to him. He wanted to know the truth of this world and its secrets. The cultivator from the Song Imperial City clearly knew more than he did.

The cultivator from the Song Imperial City revealed a meaningful smile. He looked at Ye Futian and said, “If there were only seven Great Emperors, then, does Great Emperor Ziwei, who Renhuang Ye met before, count as one of them? If not, what about Shenyin the Great?”

When Ye Futian heard his words, he revealed a pensive look. He pondered on the meaning of these words.

The other party smiled and continued saying, “The world is too big. After having lived during the Age of Gods and reached the Great Emperor Plane, the Great Emperors can create so many miracles. Even if they have truly fallen, they will still leave behind remnants of themselves. Who knows? In some remote corner of the world, there might still be a Great Emperor who is alive.”

Ye Futian nodded his head. The existence of Shenjia the Great Emperor, Great Emperor Ziwei, and Shenyin the Great also made him feel that way. There were too many mysteries and secrets in the world. Right now, he still could not comprehend all of it.

“The Ancient God Clan is a clan that claims to bear the inheritance of a deity. Is the Song Imperial City considered a force of the Ancient God Clan?” asked Ye Futian.

The other party shook their heads and said, “The Song Imperial City used to have a Great Emperor. However, nowadays, we no longer bear the inheritance of a Great Emperor. Hence, we are not considered part of the Ancient God Clan. In the true sense, the forces which are part of the Ancient God Clan are like Ziwei Imperial Palace of Great Emperor Ziwei. He left behind his teachings to them. Only then are they considered part of the Ancient God Clan. This is actually similar to the previous topic. The forces of the Ancient God Clan are considered fortunate. The teachings of the Great Emperors were left behind and were passed down to this day. Sadly, most of the Great Emperors ended up like Shenyin the Great and were gradually forgotten to history.”

“Understood,” responded Ye Futian. If that was the case, the Ancient God Clan contained the inheritance of the Great Emperors in the true sense. They could actually be considered the descendants of these Great Emperors. If an extraordinary figure appeared among them, they would also have the opportunity to prove their Path to the highest level.

However, after so many years, the Divine Prefecture had only given birth to two Great Emperors – Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing. This was highly likely due to the situation in the current world. There was also a high chance that Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing had experienced some extraordinary fateful encounters.

“Senior, thank you for your explanation,” said Ye Futian.

“What I said cannot be considered an explanation. I merely shared some unimportant details. Even if I didn’t tell you now, Renhuang Ye would learn in the future. My words are not worthy of your thanks,” replied the other party. “Renhuang Ye controls the Original Realm now. Perhaps, many years later, the Original Realm will be a new world.”

Clearly, the elder was hinting at something else. The new world he mentioned alluded to an independent world!
