Ye Futian and the others landed. There was an open space in front of the divine mausoleum, guarded by the cultivators of the Domain Chief's Manor. Over there, they could see that cultivators from top forces had already arrived.
"Let's go over." Duan Tianxiong and Old Ma had also arrived. They personally led the group over there.
Today was the opening of the divine mausoleum, and it was also the day that the chief summoned them for a meeting.
When they arrived at the area, people from all forces arrived one after another. Some were chatting casually, and some were looking in their direction.
The clan leader of the Nanhai family glanced at Duan Tianxiong and Old Ma, then his eyes lingered on Ye Futian.
"The chief summoned you. Did the master not come?" The clan leader of the Nanhai family asked Old Ma. When the changes occurred in Four Corner Village, he was one of the three people who personally came to the village. The master of the village had unfathomable cultivation and was no weaker than the three of them.
Therefore, on that day, they withdrew from Four Corner Village and allowed everyone to leave, acknowledging the existence of Four Corner Village.
With the master there, it was unlikely that they could take over Four Corner Village by force. Even if they did, the price they would have to pay might be unbearable. Naturally, they would not take such a risk.
Moreover, they felt that the master had a special connection with Four Corner Village. If they attacked the master in the village, they might all suffer losses.
Now, the master still refused to come out when the chief summoned him. He was really mysterious.
"The master is a hermit and does not care about anything outside of the village. I believe the chief can understand," Old Ma replied. The clan leader of the Nanhai family smiled. Later, the other top forces also arrived one after another.
In the distance, a group of cultivators came in great numbers. The people in the lead were the chief, Zhou Muhuang, and the others. Zhou Lingxi was also there.
She glanced at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes and nodded slightly at him. Ye Futian naturally nodded back and forth. Xia Qingyuan, who was next to him, looked back and forth between the two of them.
"Damn …" Condor Lord thought to himself. But when he moved his head away, he saw nothing.
It was not just Zhou Lingxi. Goddess Qihuan, Bai Yan, Mo Ke, Muyun Lan, and many others swept their eyes over Ye Futian. It was obvious that while Ye Futian had not been around for long in the Shangqing Domain, what he had done had put him at the very top. It was difficult for anyone of his generation to compete with him. As such, he was still able to become the center of attention on such an occasion when all the top forces were gathered, attracting countless gazes.
"Everyone is here." A figure landed on the ground. It was none other than Chief Zhou. He looked at the crowd and said, "Let's talk inside the Divine Mausoleum."
"Alright." Everyone nodded. Chief Zhou walked at the front, and the major figureheads of the other forces followed behind him. Duan Tianxiong and Old Ma also walked forward, and the cultivators from the various top forces followed behind them. Together, they headed into the divine mausoleum.
Zhou Lingxi slowed down and waited for Ye Futian and the others to come forward. She followed them and unknowingly came before Ye Futian.
"How has your cultivation been these few days?" Zhou Lingxi looked at Ye Futian and said, "I feel that your temperament has changed again. While it is not obvious, I can still vaguely tell."
"There have been some changes. I've been observing the divine casket for the past few days, and my understanding of the Great Path has deepened," Ye Futian replied.
"No wonder." Zhou Lingxi smiled and said, "Now that the divine mausoleum has been built, we can always cultivate here. I'm afraid it won't be long before we can break through to the next level."
"I hope so." Ye Futian nodded slightly. The group entered the divine mausoleum one after another.
The interior of the divine mausoleum was very impressive. There was a passageway inside, and there was a stone door there. However, it was open, and there were Renhuangs guarding the door on both sides.
"This stone door is engraved with a great matrix, and it is one with the divine mausoleum. As long as two guards are stationed here, no one will be able to force their way into the divine mausoleum, unless they are at our level of cultivation," Chief Zhou explained. "Not only that, but the entire divine mausoleum is one with a great matrix. Even if someone were to break in, the matrix will activate and seal the divine mausoleum. Those who are not major figureheads will not be able to escape."
"Thank you for the trouble, Chief." Everyone nodded slightly, but what Chief Zhou said was somewhat against his will. Since the divine mausoleum was built here, it was basically under the control of the Domain Chief's Manor. They had to come here to study the sacred remains.
After passing through the passageway, they saw an extremely majestic palace within the mausoleum. The Domain Chief's Manor had moved the entire space of the divine casket here. Stone pillars pierced into the sky, and there were also stairs and the divine casket on top.
As such, the loyal area of the divine mausoleum was built in the shape of a tower. There were training platforms suspended in the air above the tower-shaped walls of the mausoleum, and their positions were all different. Those who sat at the very front of the training platforms would be able to see the sacred remains in the divine casket below. If they were to be pushed back, they would be blocked by the walls of the mausoleum. There were countless lines on the walls, and divine light of the Great Path circled them, making them look very dazzling.
The entire divine mausoleum was also an extremely powerful matrix.
The construction of the divine mausoleum was not complicated, and one could even say that it was very simple. The main purpose of the divine mausoleum was to comprehend and cultivate. As such, as long as it was stable and safe enough, it was fine. There was no need to make the construction too complicated.
"The divine casket was built here. In the future, you can come here to cultivate at any time," Chief Zhou said. "Also, there is one more thing. This time, I have gathered all of you from all continents to discuss the war in the Divine Prefecture. You have all cultivated for many years, and you are no stranger to what happened hundreds of years ago. I do not need to elaborate further. Ever since the passageway to the Void Realm was opened, many forces have gone to the Void Realm to train. Among them, forces outside of the Divine Prefecture have also appeared. They have encroached on the Void Realm and clashed with the forces of the Divine Prefecture. Over the years, the war in the Void Realm has become more and more intense. I wonder if any of you have heard of it."
Ye Futian's heart trembled violently. Ever since he came to the Divine Prefecture, all of his connections with the Void Realm had been severed, including some of the demonic beasts that he had once controlled. The moment he stepped into the Divine Prefecture, all contact was severed. It probably had something to do with the fact that this was a different space.
And now, Chief Zhou said that a war had broken out in the Void Realm.
If that was the case, it would affect the entire Void Realm.
Were all his old friends in the Void Realm doing well?
A strong sense of worry welled up in his heart. In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed, and he had been working hard to cultivate. He wanted to return when he reached the peak of Renhuang. However, now that he heard this news, his heart sank. He had never felt such an urge to return.
"I've heard a little, but I don't know much," the clan leader of the Lu family said. Some forces were more interested in the Void Realm, but they did not have much interest in it.
"The Dark Court invaded the Void Realm and tore up the agreement from back then, starting a war. At the same time, other forces have also appeared. According to the news from the imperial palace, there are signs that the war is expanding. The Dark Court has begun to send more troops and have ordered the armies of the Dark World to set out. The Divine Prefecture is also feeling pressure and needs the support of the 18 domains. You are all top-notch forces of the Shangqing Domain. If the imperial palace calls for you, I hope that you will cooperate and send some cultivators there. What do you think?"
Chief Zhou said slowly, "Furthermore, this is a rare opportunity to train. When the time comes, not only will the cultivators of the 18 domains be there, but forces outside of the Divine Prefecture will also join in. In times of peace, such a grand occasion is rarely seen."
"Is the Dark Court using the Void Realm as a battlefield?" the clan leader of the Nanhai Clan asked.
"That may be the case," Chief Zhou nodded and said.
"Chief, how is the war in the Void Realm going?" Ye Futian could not help but ask. He was a little worried.
"I did not go to the Void Realm, so I do not know the specifics. If you have no objections, I may send someone to call for you in the future. Of course, if any of you do not agree, I will not force you," Chief Zhou continued.
Everyone nodded and expressed their support. Of course, they did not know what level of cultivators they would send. They could make the decision themselves. Under such circumstances, no one would refuse.
"Thank you, everyone," Chief Zhou said. Chief Zhou said, "Now that the divine mausoleum is completed, I'm sure all of you will be staying here for some time. As the host, I haven't had the chance to invite all of you to a banquet yet. I've set up a banquet in the Domain Chief's Manor today. Why don't we head there for a chat?"
The crowd nodded. They took a look at the divine casket in the divine mausoleum, then turned around and walked outside. There were many cultivators gathered outside, but most of them would not be able to enter the divine mausoleum.
Seeing them come out, countless eyes turned to them. Chief Zhou looked around at the crowd and said, "After the divine mausoleum is built, any cultivator who meets the requirements can enter to cultivate. However, I will say the same thing again: do not try it recklessly."
Everyone understood what he meant. Now, who did not know the danger of the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor in the divine casket?
After the matters here were settled, Chief Zhou and the cultivators took to the air and headed for the Domain Chief's Manor. The top figures in front were still chatting, but Ye Futian, who was at the back, was frowning. Xia Qingyuan naturally understood his feelings. She was also worried about the situation there. After all, their family and friends were in the Original Realm. Once it became a battlefield, no one could guarantee what would happen there.
"It will be fine." Although Xia Qingyuan was worried, she still comforted him.
"Mmm." Ye Futian nodded. Now, he only hoped that he could go back soon!
