After Feixue left, Ye Futian stood there and looked at the sky.
The battle at the Holy Zhi Palace was still fresh in his mind. Jieyu's death was a pain in his heart.
The two of them held hands at the age of sixteen. They had been through many hardships together, but they died in the Sacred War, all because of Li Yao.
Even though Li Yao had been on good terms with him in Emperor Li's Realm, it was because he was the Seventh Swordsman and was useful to Li Yao. He was not like the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace in the land of the Nine States, whom Li Yao regarded as an ant, whom he could kill at will.
That was why he took the risk to come to Emperor Li's Realm. However, he found that what he did was not so perfect. He came to the mysterious and powerful Imperial Advisor of Dali and saw that the Imperial Advisor of Dali was also an ordinary and extraordinary person.
His heart wavered a little.
Especially after he cultivated the Deed of Thorough Comprehension, he realized that this cultivation method might be above the Saint level.
However, the Imperial Advisor had taught him the Deed of Thorough Comprehension before he helped Feixue.
Moreover, from the vague hints given to him by Feixue and Lu Chuan, he actually knew that the people in the Imperial Advisor's Residence knew that there might be a problem with his identity as the Seventh Swordsman.
Even so, he still imparted a cultivation technique that surpassed the Saint level.
What kind of realm was this?
If he was in the Imperial Tutor's shoes, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
Was it just because of his philosophy of seeking the Dao?
He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he killed Li Yao as the Imperial Advisor's disciple. The Imperial Advisor of Dali had a high status in the Dali Dynasty. Emperor Li might not necessarily do anything to the Imperial Advisor, but there would definitely be estrangement. Moreover, he had seen in today's court meeting that King Tiandao was extremely forceful. He was pressing forward step by step and even wanted the Imperial Advisor to join the army.
The Prince Regent's forbearance also frightened him. The Prince Regent's grandson was killed, and Yan Yuan took him away in front of him. The Prince Regent did not show up and directly asked for him to be released. Yan Yuan also said that the Prince Regent was not simple.
Behind the forbearance, there was naturally a deliberate plan.
Moreover, the Imperial Advisor of Dali was against the Realm War. Many people even speculated that he could transform the Saints, but he did not do so. King Tiandao obviously had this idea.
So, did Emperor Li have one?
King Tiandao was Emperor Li's elder brother.
If Emperor Li had no opinion on what King Tiandao had said, why did he summon the Imperial Advisor and King Tiandao for a meeting?
The Dali Dynasty seemed to have a holy ruler and virtuous ministers. The Imperial Advisor's status was like the sun at high noon, but standing at the peak of the Dali Dynasty, perhaps what outsiders saw was only the surface.
Was the position of the Imperial Advisor of Dali really as stable as a mountain?
If there were no accidents, perhaps that was the case.
Ye Futian's heart seemed to be fighting with himself. He was struggling.
If the Imperial Advisor of Dali was not what he saw, perhaps he would not have hesitated at all. Even in the past, he would have been more than happy to sow discord between the Imperial Advisor of Dali and Emperor Li.
However, this short period of time had changed his state of mind.
The Imperial Advisor asked Feixue to tell him that if he wanted to do something, there was no need to hesitate, as long as he had a clear conscience.
His teacher, Mr. Du, had also taught him to look up to heaven and earth and to have a clear conscience.
Killing Li Yao was his goal, but if he succeeded, would he have a clear conscience?
A real man would not implicate others just because he wanted to avenge his own personal grudges.
If he didn't know, he wouldn't have considered it.
But now, he knew the consequences.
"Look up to heaven and earth and have a clear conscience," Ye Futian murmured and then let out a long breath. At this moment, his state of mind seemed to be clear.
At this moment, he felt a sense of enlightenment. His mind was open and connected to heaven and earth. He seemed to be able to perceive everything between heaven and earth more clearly.
It was an extremely mysterious feeling, one that could not be explained or understood.
"I seem to have touched the Divine Path," Ye Futian thought to himself. Everything between heaven and earth was so clear.
At this moment, he seemed to be getting closer and closer to the Divine Path.
Ye Futian sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Suddenly, his mind connected with the Black Wind Condor in the royal palace of Emperor Xia's Realm.
The Black Wind Condor was in a particularly wretched state at this moment in the Princess' Residence of Emperor Xia's Realm. There were bruises all over his body. When he came to Xia Qingyuan again, she glanced at him coldly and said, "Little Qing."
"It's me." Ye Futian's voice came out, and Xia Qingyuan was stunned, but her expression did not change much. She said coldly, "I heard that you are going to be the Emperor Li's son-in-law in Emperor Li's Realm?"
Now she was wondering whether Ye Futian would be a person of Emperor Xia's Realm or Emperor Li's Realm.
If he had nodded at the court meeting, he would have immediately become the Imperial Advisor of Dali and the son-in-law of Emperor Li. His status would have been comparable to that of the Prince of Dali in an instant.
But now, in Emperor Xia's Realm, on the surface, Ye Futian was just a valet of the Princess.
Comparing the two …
"What are you angry about, Princess?" Ye Futian responded indifferently.
"When have you ever seen me angry?" Xia Qingyuan's eyes were indifferent, and her face was expressionless. She would not admit it.
"You beat the Black Wind Condor up like this, and you say it's not?" Ye Futian was a little speechless. She was simply lying through her teeth.
"A demonic beast like you spoke rudely. Can't I discipline you?" Xia Qingyuan responded.
"…"
Ye Futian thought that there was really no reasoning with women, even the high and mighty Princess of Emperor Xia's Realm.
"I'm ready to come back," Ye Futian said.
Xia Qingyuan heard Ye Futian's words and was stunned. Then she stared at the Black Wind Condor and asked, "When?"
"When I find the right opportunity, I will say that I'm going out to train and return to Emperor Xia's Realm," Ye Futian said. The Seventh Swordsman had disappeared, and no one knew his identity.
As for Jieyu's revenge, it could only wait.
"Good." Xia Qingyuan's heart seemed to be at ease. Even though Ye Futian had changed his identity, he was still in Dali Imperial City, surrounded by the top figures of Dali, and even Emperor Li had seen him.
She always felt that it was not so safe.
Moreover, she did not know whether the last assassination was a test by someone. If so, it was possible that the news would spread to Emperor Li's Realm.
Although Ye Futian's identity in Dali Dynasty was the Seventh Swordsman, and even if the news spread, people would not think that way.
But in the end, there was still a risk.
Now that Ye Futian was willing to come back, she naturally supported him.
"Do you need to send someone to meet you?" Xia Qingyuan asked again.
"No, that would cause trouble. I will leave with the excuse of training, and then change my identity to come back," Ye Futian replied. Xia Qingyuan nodded and said, "Be careful."
"Thank you for your concern, Princess," Ye Futian said.
Xia Qingyuan was stunned and said coldly, "I just don't want to see you die in Dali."
Ye Futian did not say anything more. Xia Qingyuan continued, "Are you coming back from the Upper Worlds or the Lower Worlds?"
"The Lower Worlds," Ye Futian said. It was safer.
"Very well. You control demonic beasts in the Holy Zhi Palace in the Lower Worlds, right? I'll send someone to the Holy Zhi Palace in the Lower Worlds and bring the demonic beasts you control to the border of Emperor Li's Realm. If there is an accident, we can deal with it, "Xia Qingyuan continued. The Black Wind Condor was still in the palace. In this way, it could keep track of the movements of all sides and communicate with Ye Futian as the center.
"Princess, there is no need to do this," Ye Futian said.
"It's settled. After you leave, send me a message at any time," Xia Qingyuan said coldly.
Ye Futian looked at Xia Qingyuan with a strange expression.
"Very well." He did not say anything more, and then his thoughts retreated from the mind of the Black Wind Condor.
…
Ye Futian cultivated for a period of time in the Dali Dynasty. He naturally would not leave on the day when Emperor Li had just decreed the marriage, and it was the first day of the new year. As such, he waited for a while, but he had been cultivating the Deed of Thorough Comprehension in peace. He would ask the Imperial Advisor for advice from time to time, and the Imperial Advisor would explain patiently every time.
As he cultivated, Ye Futian felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Saint Plane. It was very likely that he would break into the Saint Plane this year. This feeling was very mysterious and indescribable.
On this day, Ye Futian came to the courtyard where the Imperial Advisor lived.
"Master," Ye Futian called, seeing the Imperial Advisor sitting there.
The Imperial Advisor looked at him and asked, "Do you have any doubts about your cultivation?"
"No." Ye Futian shook his head and said, "Master, I feel that my cultivation has reached the edge of the Saint Plane. I want to go out and travel everywhere and break into the Saint Plane."
"Very well. Do you need someone to accompany you?" the Imperial Advisor asked.
"No need. This time I am comprehending the Way. I will travel the world alone with a sword, and I will not return until I reach the Saint Plane," Ye Futian said to the Imperial Advisor, but he knew that it was a lie.
From now on, there would be no Seven Swords in Dali.
Looking at the Imperial Advisor, Ye Futian felt a little reluctant. His emotions were very complicated.
If he had not been on the opposite side, he might have cultivated under the Imperial Advisor for a long time. The Imperial Advisor was an elder worthy of respect.
"Where are you going?" Fei Xue walked over and asked Ye Futian.
Ye Futian was lying.
"I will go anywhere. Maybe the Upper Worlds, maybe the Lower Worlds. I will travel the world," Ye Futian looked at Fei Xue and said. Even though he knew that he could not hide it from her, he still said it.
He planned to go to King Li's Palace first. With the relationship between him and Li You, she would naturally activate the matrix to let him go to the Lower Worlds.
Fei Xue was silent after hearing Ye Futian's words. She felt that once Ye Futian left, it was very likely that he would not come back.
She knew that Ye Futian had secrets, but why would he not come back?
What secrets could make him like this?
Outside of the Dali Dynasty, where else could compare to the Imperial Advisor's Residence?
"Do you have to go?" Fei Xue asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded seriously.
Fei Xue was silent again. Then she smiled and said, "Seventh Swordsman, I hope that you will set foot on the Saint Plane soon."
As she said this, she walked up to Ye Futian and opened her arms slightly.
After this farewell, it might be difficult to see him again.
Ye Futian understood what she meant. He smiled and opened his arms to give her a hug. He said with a smile, "This is not deceiving the Emperor, is it?"
Fei Xue sighed inwardly. This guy was still joking.
This hug had nothing to do with feelings. It was just a farewell.
The Imperial Advisor looked at the two of them and seemed to understand something. He did not ask but just smiled and said, "The Great Path is boundless. You can cultivate anywhere and become a Saint as soon as possible."
"The Great Path is boundless. You can cultivate anywhere." Ye Futian looked at the Imperial Advisor and said, "Master, take care!"
