Ye Futian's divine will spread out and swept across the vast space. A magnificent building appeared in his divine will, and Ye Futian immediately knew where he was.
The strongest place of the Nine Supreme Realms — the Empty Imperial Palace in the Imperial Realm.
Exiting the spatial passageway of the Empty Imperial Palace happened to lead the way to the Empty Imperial Palace.
"Renhuang Ye, you are a cultivator of the Void Realm. Can you lead the way for us?" Zhou Muhuang asked Ye Futian.
"The Void Realm is not big for you. It is not like the Divine Prefecture, which has endless continents and only 3,000 realms of the great path. The strongest places are the Nine Supreme Realms, and this is the Imperial Realm. I believe it will not take long for the vice chief to learn about the Nine Supreme Realms," Ye Futian replied. "I have not been back for many years, and I still have to go see my old friends. I will not accompany you all. Farewell."
After saying that, he took the lead and left. Just as he said, he had too many things on his mind after being away for 20 years, and he had no time to lead the way for Zhou Muhuang and the others.
Now, Ye Futian was eager to go home.
"We will take our leave as well." Duan Tianxiong, the Dynastic Lord of the Duan clan, cupped his hands and said. He then left with Ye Futian and the cultivators of Four Corner Village, not caring about what others were thinking. From his point of view, Ye Futian's potential was the strongest in the Shangqing Domain, and now that he had the teacher as his backing, it was not a problem for him to be on good terms with such a person.
Zhou Muhuang looked at those who were leaving. He took the initiative to communicate with Ye Futian because he wanted to ease their relationship. He naturally knew that what happened last time had caused a gap between the two of them, and Ye Futian was very guarded against him.
However, Ye Futian did not seem to give him any face at all, and he directly refused and left.
Ye Futian stepped into the void at an extremely fast speed. He was in a hurry, wanting to see the Heavenly Mandate Realm as soon as possible.
Old Ma and the others seemed to be able to sense Ye Futian's worry, and they silently followed him, heading straight for the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
…
The Heavenly Mandate Academy in the Heavenly Mandate Realm. Before Ye Futian left, the academy's name had shaken the world. It had formed the strongest alliance in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path with the Yuanyang clan, the Dou tribe, the Xiao clan, the Divine Palace, and other forces. Countless cultivators came to the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate.
However, it was precisely because the Heavenly Mandate Academy was too famous back then, coupled with Ye Futian's threat, that the Shen clan, the Golden Divine Nation, and other forces joined forces with the forces from the Divine Prefecture to form an even more terrifying alliance. They waged two wars in succession. The first was the battle that destroyed the Divine Palace. The battle at the Sea of the Path alarmed more than half of the forces in the Nine Realms. The second was the battle where the Heavenly Mandate Academy killed Ye Futian. After that battle, Ye Futian went to the Divine Prefecture, and there was no more news from him.
After 20 years, the current Heavenly Mandate Academy was no longer as prosperous as it used to be. On the contrary, it even seemed a little desolate. Many of the magnificent buildings were dilapidated, and there were even traces of the Great Path left behind.
In a courtyard within the academy, an old man rested on a chair. The old man's hair was white, and he coughed from time to time. His aura seemed a little weak. With the old man's cultivation, it was impossible for him to be so weak. Clearly, he had been seriously injured.
"Grandpa Xuan, you are slacking off and resting again." A voice was heard, and a woman walked over. This woman was extremely beautiful, with a face that could topple cities. She was like a fairy.
She came to the old man's back and massaged his back. Immediately, the old man's face was filled with a brilliant smile. His aged eyes also revealed a hint of kindness. It was clear that he doted on this woman very much.
"How am I slacking off?" the old man said with a smile. There was a hint of laziness in his voice.
"Instead of healing your injuries, you are sunbathing here. If that isn't slacking off, then what is?" The woman said with a smile. The old man looked a little tired. He said, "This injury is not so easy to heal. It's the same after getting used to it. Moreover, these old bones of mine can still bear it. I will be fine."
When the woman heard the old man's words, her eyes dimmed. She seemed a little sad. She knew that Grandpa Xuan's injuries were quite serious. Otherwise, with his cultivation, it would be easy for him to recover. If he could not recover, it would mean that the scar of the Great Path would be difficult to heal, and it would probably stay with Grandpa Xuan forever.
"You can bear it, but you should at least think about the academy," a voice said, and then two people walked over. A voice was heard, and then two people were seen walking over. One of them was completely black, and the aura on his body was somewhat terrifying. It seemed to have something to do with his cultivation.
"Tianhe, I will have to trouble you with the academy," the old man said softly. The person who came was his old friend, so he would not be polite.
"You are the college chief. This is your business," the Sky River Great Elder said in a low voice. This old man was the college chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Lord Taixuan.
"You …" Lord Taixuan smiled and shook his head. However, he knew that this old friend was just saying. If he could let it go, he would not have come back. After all, he had been hiding for so many years. When he learned about the situation here, he did not continue to hide.
"He is right. You are the college chief. This is your responsibility. Now you want to let it go," the woman beside the Sky River Great Elder said. This woman was Shen Luoxue, the wife of the Sky River Great Elder. Behind them, there was an equally beautiful woman, Feixue. She stepped forward and advised Lord Taixuan, "Grandpa Xuan, you really need to pay more attention to your cultivation." Lord Taixuan nodded.
Lord Taixuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I am afraid I am afraid of you."
As he said this, he looked up at the sky and said, "I am afraid it is too late."
"What do you mean by too late? With our support, what is there to be afraid of?" the Sky River Great Elder said.
"The world has changed. It is not the same as before. Those forces from the Divine Prefecture have so many terrifying figures. We are still not strong enough," Lord Taixuan said with a sigh.
"The world has changed. Many things cannot be changed. We can only work harder to survive," the Sky River Great Elder said.
"Mmm." Lord Taixuan nodded. "It has been 20 years. I wonder how they are now."
Hearing Lord Taixuan's words, the woman behind him moved her arms. She looked up at the sky as if her thoughts had returned to the time when she was a young girl. She missed her sister and brother-in-law very much.
How were they now?
Many people outside said that brother-in-law was dead, but Grandpa Xuan and the others said that brother-in-law was fine. He had just left temporarily. But it had been 20 years. She had grown up a long time ago. Why hadn't she come back?
The Sky River Great Elder and Shen Luoxue also sighed. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years had passed.
In fact, they did not know whether Ye Futian had really left alive. Although he had said that he could escape unscathed, it was still a mystery. They could only choose to believe that he was still alive and had reached the Divine Prefecture.
"When he left, he had just entered the Renhuang Plane. It will not be so easy for him to come back," Shen Luoxue said with a sigh. These forces that had come to the Original Realm were all super forces. If Ye Futian wanted to return, it would probably take a long time. At least, he would have to cultivate to the high-level Renhuang Plane.
Thinking about it this way, 20 years was too short.
"I am afraid that we cannot hold on," Lord Taixuan said with a sigh.
"No, Grandpa Xuan, brother-in-law and the others will definitely come back to see you," Hua Nianyu said softly behind him. Lord Taixuan smiled and nodded. "I hope we can live until that day."
Just as they were talking, they suddenly seemed to notice something. Lord Taixuan and the Sky River Great Elder looked up into the void. Lord Taixuan's cloudy eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, piercing the sky like a sharp sword. Many powerful auras came, and they were all unfamiliar. There were even two auras that were very terrifying, no weaker than his.
Who was it this time?
The cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy raised their heads and looked up into the sky. They saw the clouds tumbling above the firmament, and brilliant spatial divine light sprinkled down. Then, a group of silhouettes came directly through the void and appeared in the sky. With one step, the mighty silhouette stood in the sky above the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
When those figures stopped, Lord Taixuan, the Sky River Great Elder, and the others were stunned. They seemed to be in a daze.
Feixue and Hua Nianyu's beautiful eyes also froze. Time seemed to have stopped as they looked at the figure in the lead.
His long silver hair and white robe fluttered in the wind. His handsome face was chiseled and he looked so familiar.
After the shock, a bright smile suddenly appeared in Lord Taixuan's eyes. At this moment, it was as if he was extremely relaxed. His heartstrings, which had been taut for many years, seemed to be put down at this moment. He finally saw that he was still alive and had come back alive.
The sun shone on the old man's weathered face. It was as if the wrinkles could be seen clearly.
"You're back," the old man said in a low voice. His voice was not loud, but there was a hint of relaxation in his calm tone. It was good that he was back.
"Cough, cough …" As he spoke, he coughed a few more times. His aura seemed a little weak.
Seeing this scene, the white-haired figure standing in the void only felt a pang of heartache. At the same time, there was a strong sense of anger in his heart. He could see that Lord Taixuan was injured.
What had happened during the years he was away?
Jieyu, Yu Sheng, and Wuchen were not here. Where did they go? What happened to Lord Taixuan's injuries? Why were there so many traces of damage in the Heavenly Mandate Academy?
