The Domain Chief's Manor of the Shangqing Domain had already prepared a banquet. People from various forces took their seats as soon as they arrived.
Ye Futian and the others were naturally there as well. They sat with the people from the village, and next to them were cultivators from the ancient royal family of Duan.
Chief Zhou sat at the head of the table, and Zhou Muhuang sat next to him. Below him were Zhou Lingxi and the others, each of whom had an unparalleled temperament.
At the banquet, after everyone had taken their seats, whispering incessantly. Chief Zhou raised his cup of wine, and the crowd suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at Chief Zhou.
"It's rare to be able to gather here with all of you. This is an opportunity for me to see the influential figures from various forces in the Shangqing Domain. The next generation of us old fellows, Emperor Muhuang's cultivation has reached a certain level. Behind him, there are many other influential figures, and several of them have already entered the high-level Renhuang Plane with perfect Great Paths. They are likely to reach the pinnacle in the future. Now, Four Corner Village has entered the world to cultivate, and many extraordinary people have appeared in the village. They are actually stronger than any force in the Shangqing Domain, including the Domain Chief's Manor. It seems that after the great war, the Divine Prefecture is about to usher in a new era, with influential figures rising from all sides."
Chief Zhou spoke in a loud voice, praising Four Corner Village very highly.
In reality, Four Corner Village was indeed very powerful. Apart from Old Ma, Fang Gai, Blind Tie, and the other elders were all cultivators with perfect Great Paths. Their combat ability was extremely terrifying. Even Fang Huan was considered a junior. Although the village was cut off from the rest of the people except for those few people could not cultivate, the next generation of people in Four Corner Village could all cultivate, and their future potential was terrifying.
If one were to count the cultivators with perfect Great Paths at high-level Renhuang, even the top forces in the Shangqing Domain combined would only have about the same number as Four Corner Village, let alone a single force.
There were only a few people at this level in the Shangqing Domain, and Four Corner Village could not be judged by common sense.
Of course, there were two people who had been expelled from Four Corner Village. In reality, they were not cultivators of Four Corner Village. One could say that they were cultivators of the Nanhai family, Muyun Lan and Muyun Long.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, the Nanhai family was the top force with the most cultivators at this level other than Four Corner Village.
"Prosperity is bound to decline, and decline is bound to flourish." The king of the Shangyu Deity Kingdom said, "Back then, countless cultivators died in the war, and many were buried in the Chaotic Wheel World. It was only when the world was united and the war ended that the various forces gradually recovered their strength. The next generation continued to cultivate and developed to this day, showing signs of rising, step by step, walking towards glory."
Everyone nodded. The people of the older generation had all experienced that era. Back then, it was unknown how many experts had fallen. For them to be able to survive and enter an era of peace and rule over a region, they could already be considered to be extremely fortunate.
"Indeed." Chief Zhou nodded. "However, heroes are born in troubled times. Don't forget that Donghuang the Great was born in that era. There are also many outstanding figures who stand at the top of the 18 domains today. Many of them were cultivators who shone brilliantly in that era. Now, they have all retired to teach their descendants and become totem level figures."
In a chaotic era, there would also be top-notch figures.
"The cultivation environment now is much better than before." Another person spoke, feeling rather emotional. The times had changed, and the changes that time brought to everything were extremely great. The times of the past were completely different from the present.
"The cultivation environment is much better, but the pressure is not enough. Therefore, this battle with the Dark Court is also an opportunity," Chief Zhou said. "This time, Emperor Mu will go. What do you all think? If the imperial palace calls for you, what will you do?"
"Don't worry, today's banquet is just a casual chat, and I won't mind. The conflict in the Divine Prefecture is not something that a single family can control."
"I will send the core figures of the Nanhai family. This is a rare opportunity," the clan leader of the Nanhai family said. The others nodded one after another. At this time, the chief looked at Ye Futian and said, "I heard some rumors that Emperor Ye came from the Donghua Domain and once made a name for himself at the Donghua Banquet. Did you go to the Donghua Domain from the Void Realm?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Futian. Did Ye Futian come from the Void Realm?
Not many people knew about this. After all, they only heard that Ye Futian came from the Donghua Domain and that he was being hunted by the Domain Chief's Manor of the Donghua Domain, who issued a wanted order. Some top forces in the Donghua Domain even directly attacked Four Corner City, but they did not succeed.
Ye Futian was stunned. He did not expect Chief Zhou to ask him this. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said, "Yes, but that was many years ago."
"When you left the Void Realm, did the Dark Court and some other forces enter the Void Realm?" Chief Zhou asked. "Yes.
Before I left, the Dark Court opened a passage to the Void Realm and descended, "Ye Futian replied. In reality, he was involved in the whole thing, and it was directly related to him. However, he did not say much about it.
"At that time, the Dark Court had just arrived, and they must have just entered to test the waters. What was the situation at that time?" Chief Zhou asked again.
"Back then, two of the Seven Kings of the Dark Court came, and many other powerful figures appeared. The Devil Generals also appeared, and two Divine Generals from the Imperial Palace of the Divine Prefecture went there." Chief Zhou nodded slightly. "It should be a test. However, the lineup is still acceptable, but they have yet to send out their true powers. They may have changed quite a bit over the years."
Ye Futian didn't say anything else. He didn't want to explain too much about his Void Realm.
"It's not easy for you to come all the way from the Void Realm. I've heard a lot about you, from the Donghua Domain to Four Corner Village, all the way to where you are now. Lingxi has told me a lot about you. In my opinion, your achievements in the future will not be inferior to Emperor Mu's." His words caused many people to reveal strange expressions. The way they looked at Ye Futian had become a little different.
Everyone there knew that Ye Futian was extraordinary and that his future would not be simple. They were not surprised by the chief's high evaluation of Ye Futian. What was important was the meaning behind the chief's words, which was extraordinary.
That statement mentioned both Zhou Muhuang and Zhou Lingxi at the same time, and the meaning behind it was profound.
"You flatter me, Chief. The vice chief has already reached the peak of Renhuang, which is my goal," Ye Futian replied humbly. He seemed a little humble. In reality, was his pursuit only the pinnacle of Renhuang?
That was a level that he had to enter.
"There are many great figures in the Shangqing Domain, but you are the only one who can look at the corpse of Shenjia the Great Emperor in the divine casket. I heard from Lingxi that you can even use it to cultivate. Such an evaluation is not at all exaggerated. I might even be underestimating you." Chief Zhou laughed heartily and said, "Lingxi has never praised anyone like this before. You are the first person she has seen in a different light. She has mentioned it to me many times."
His words caused the hearts of the surrounding cultivators to ripple. The banquet was exceptionally quiet as everyone listened quietly.
What was the chief doing?
The people behind Ye Futian all had different expressions on their faces, especially Xia Qingyuan. She looked at the chief and wondered what he meant by that.
Even Ye Futian himself felt a little strange. He did not understand why the chief would mention such things on such an occasion. Zhou Lingxi's status was high and honorable, and her own cultivation was extremely powerful. Many people had their eyes on such a person, but most of them would not have any other thoughts because they knew it was unlikely.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. Perhaps I was just lucky to be able to look at the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor," Ye Futian replied.
"You don't have to be so humble. I can naturally see how your cultivation is. Lingxi rarely admires anyone, and she is quite impressed with your cultivation. I agree with her. If there is a chance in the future, you should get to know each other more often. Cultivating together will help each other, and perhaps both of you will improve," Chief Zhou said with a smile. His words seemed to be getting more and more obvious.
Zhou Lingxi did not show her girly side. As a Renhuang with an extremely high status in the Shangqing Domain, she appeared very calm. She smiled and looked at Ye Futian.
"Does the chief want Ye Futian to join the Domain Chief's Manor as his son-in-law?" Many people had the same thought. In the Shangqing Domain, the marriage of Muyun Lan and Nanhai Qianxue was a popular story, and the Nanhai family had gained a powerful son-in-law.
Now, the Domain Chief's Manor was going to imitate the Nanhai family.
Moreover, Ye Futian's potential was indeed not inferior to Muyun Lan's, and he might even be superior.
Many cultivators from the Nanhai family looked surprised. Zhou Muhuang of the Domain Chief's Manor had invited Ye Futian before but was rejected. However, if Ye Futian were to become the son-in-law of the Domain Chief's Manor, then he would naturally be considered a member of the Domain Chief's Manor!
