Ye Futian then went to the cultivators of the Nine States to visit Douzhan, Zhuge Qingfeng, and the others. He chatted with them and gave them some instructions.
Then Ye Futian returned to the Heavenly Mandate Academy Cottage. He first went to a place of cultivation, where Xia Qingyuan was cultivating.
Seeing Ye Futian come over, the brilliant light of life on Xia Qingyuan's body dissipated, and the holy lotus closed. She looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes.
"I haven't talked to you in a long time, Princess," Ye Futian said with a smile when he saw Xia Qingyuan.
Xia Qingyuan felt strange. She looked at Ye Futian and said, "There is only one princess in the Divine Prefecture."
Ye Futian understood what she meant. He smiled and said, "I used to bicker with you a lot, but now I often call you by your name. I'm not so used to it. Maybe subconsciously, I still think of you as a princess."
Xia Qingyuan frowned slightly and seemed a little unhappy. She said coldly, "If there is nothing else, don't disturb my cultivation."
"Yes, that's the feeling," Ye Futian said with a smile. Xia Qingyuan used to talk to him like this, cold and arrogant. He seemed to be used to the way the two of them interacted. Later, he always felt that something was wrong.
Of course, he knew what the reason was.
Xia Qingyuan stared at him. Did this guy come to find her on purpose to bicker with her?
"I didn't expect that after so many years, I only feel that the world has changed. Everything has changed so much. You have already proven the Way and become a Renhuang, but why do I feel that you are still that cold and beautiful princess?" Ye Futian said with a smile. Xia Qingyuan's life spirit was integrated into the lotus in the God's relic. The Lotus Emperor had comprehended the Way on it and had the karma of the Great Path. Xia Qingyuan also transformed because of this, and later, her cultivation became faster.
Now, her strength was probably no weaker than Emperor Xia's.
"Are you complimenting me?" Xia Qingyuan said to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian walked to her side and said, "You can say that. Now that you have proven the Way, when do you plan to return to Emperor Xia's Realm?"
Xia Qingyuan was stunned, and her body trembled slightly. Her eyes suddenly dimmed. She seemed to deliberately avoid Ye Futian's gaze, with a trace of loneliness.
When would she return to Emperor Xia's Realm?
That's right, what was she still doing here?
Hadn't she thought it through? She would leave after she proved her Way in the Renhuang Plane. Now, she had proved her Way in the Heavenly Mandate Academy and was already an empress. Why didn't she return to Emperor Xia's Realm to help her father? If she returned, it would be enough to deter the surrounding realms.
Then why hadn't she left yet?
"His Majesty Emperor Xia dotes on you very much. After not seeing you for so many years, I'm sure he misses you very much. The Heavenly Mandate Academy has a teleportation grand matrix that connects to the Crimson Dragon Realm. When you return to Emperor Xia's Realm from the Crimson Dragon Realm, it will be much faster. If the Princess wishes to return one day, remember to let me know. I will see you off," Ye Futian said with a smile.
Xia Qingyuan looked at him without moving, as if she wanted to see through his eyes.
This time, it was Ye Futian who took the initiative to avoid her. It was as if he could not bear to look at those lonely and beautiful eyes.
At that moment, Xia Qingyuan's eyes looked particularly lifeless. It was as if they had lost the brilliance of an empress, and there was even some emptiness in them.
Yes, she should have left a long time ago. Why did she have to wait for him to chase her away?
However, did he want to chase her away at this time?
He would not let Hua Jieyu go.
"I will leave in a few days." Xia Qingyuan said, "I will cultivate in Emperor Xia's Realm from now on."
Being an empress in Emperor Xia's Realm would allow her father to rest and go out for a walk. It seemed to be a good thing.
"Very well. Princess, pick your time. Remember to let me know." Ye Futian said, "If there is a chance in the future, go to Emperor Xia's Realm to see the Princess."
"There is no need for that. When I return to Emperor Xia's Realm, I do not want to see you again," Xia Qingyuan said coldly. It was unknown whether she was sincere or not.
"There is no need for the Princess to be so petty." Ye Futian smiled and said, "Alright, I will not disturb the Princess's cultivation."
As he said this, he got up and left. When he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared, and he sighed to himself.
There were some things that he naturally knew, but he could not control the future. Letting Xia Qingyuan return to Emperor Xia's Realm to cultivate was a more perfect ending. He hoped that she would go back.
He also knew that his words today were a little hurtful. He did it on purpose. He hoped that Xia Qingyuan would not take him too seriously.
Ye Futian left and went to another place. There were many disciples of the Cottage there, including the Sword Saint, the Second Sister Zhuge Mingyue, the Third Brother Gu Dongliu, Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and many others. They gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.
Seeing Ye Futian come, Zhuge Mingyue smiled and looked at him. "Did you go for a walk?"
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. "I just came from Qingyuan's place."
"What did she say?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at Ye Futian and asked curiously.
Ye Futian looked at the Second Sister's expression and smiled bitterly. "I asked her when she would return to Emperor Xia's Realm to cultivate."
"Why?" Zhuge Mingyue heard Ye Futian's words and understood his intentions. This guy wanted to arrange everything properly, but everyone would make their own choices. It was not something he could arrange.
"Yu Sheng," Ye Futian called. Yu Sheng looked up at him.
"If Mei Ting wants to take you to cultivate, then you should go with him," Ye Futian said to Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng did not agree immediately after hearing his words. He seemed to be thinking, as if he had not thought it through.
What would happen if he left with Mei Ting?
He did not know.
At this moment, he still did not have an answer. Although he still listened to Ye Futian out of habit, he did not agree immediately this time.
"Little Brother," Gu Dongliu called from the side. Gu Dongliu shouted from the side. Ye Futian looked at him and heard Gu Dongliu say, "Can you really guarantee that nothing will go wrong?"
"There should be no problem," Ye Futian said.
"What do you mean by 'should'?" Gu Dongliu was obviously not satisfied with Ye Futian's answer. He frowned. Ye Futian's answer seemed to be that he did not have absolute confidence in himself. This was not the answer he wanted. Otherwise, he would not want Ye Futian to take any risks, not to mention such a big matter.
"There is no problem." Ye Futian saw the look in Third Brother's eyes again. He thought to himself that no matter what, Third Brother was always so dignified. It was just like when he was cultivating in the Cottage. With just a look from Third Brother, the other brothers did not dare to move.
Now, Third Brother's status was still higher.
However, there was always a weakness. Second Sister was weaker than Third Brother.
"Hmm." Gu Dongliu seemed to be satisfied and nodded. Since Ye Futian was so sure, then he believed him.
Everything else could only wait and see.
…
Time passed day by day. These days, Ye Futian was cultivating apart from arranging some matters.
The Heavenly Mandate Academy seemed to be extremely calm, but the outside world was in an uproar.
Cultivators from all sides gathered in Heavenly Mandate City. No one knew how many outstanding figures had gathered there.
The battle between the three god-level forces had already spread throughout the Nine Realms. Ye Futian's name was like the sun in the sky. There was no one in the world who did not know him.
However, such a heaven-defying genius, a peerless figure who single-handedly reversed the Battle of the Original Realm, did not receive the treatment he deserved. Instead, he was facing a huge crisis. More than half of the top forces in the Original Realm were making things difficult for him at the same time.
This made countless people sigh. The top forces in the Original Realm must have developed a strong sense of fear because Ye Futian had displayed too strong of a talent. That was why they were doing this.
They all hoped that Ye Futian would die.
Now, in this Heavenly Mandate City, the cultivators of all forces had actually arrived. They were all watching every move of the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Ye Futian could not even think about escaping. Once he showed any signs of escaping, those people would not be lurking in the dark and watching.
The entire Heavenly Mandate City was wrapped in an invisible storm. A storm was brewing.
Once the time was up, all the top forces would directly appear to encircle the Heavenly Mandate Academy and kill Ye Futian.
But under the shroud of such a storm, the preaching holy land still stood firmly as if it would never fall.
Even now, in the preaching holy land, it was still calm and peaceful. There was no sign of restlessness, and no one left to flee. Of course, there was no need for that. The rules set by the princess would protect the innocent.
Countless people in the Heavenly Mandate Academy were discussing the last battle against the Divine Palace. How many cultivators were involved? In the end, Ye Futian unleashed the will of the emperor and killed a high-level Renhuang to survive. Moreover, he had Mei Ting's help.
So, what about this time?
This time, the opponent's lineup was stronger and more terrifying. They were all determined to kill Ye Futian to prevent future troubles.
Under this general trend, the forces involved had no choice but to join forces.
Would Ye Futian be able to survive this?
The day finally came.
The Heavenly Mandate Academy was as calm as ever. Outside the Heavenly Mandate Academy, countless cultivators stood in the sky or on the ground, looking in the direction of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. The preaching holy land of the Heavenly Mandate Realm was as quiet as ever. It was as if nothing was different than usual.
But today was the day of the battle between the two sides.
With the Heavenly Mandate Academy as the center, wisps of pressure were released and pressed toward the inside. They came from all directions as if they were everywhere in the crowd.
They had been watching here. As long as Ye Futian took a step out of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, the cultivators of the various forces would know immediately.
Therefore, this time, Ye Futian could not escape!
