The Legend of Futian

In Haotian City, Wang Yanbing’s visit to Brahma’s Pure Sky’s First Maiden Qin He caused a great sensation.

Now, all the powerful people had gathered in this city. The Brahma’s Pure Sky Goddesses had arrived, and Wang Yanbing was now the most popular person in Haotian City. His every move attracted everyone’s attention, not to mention his visit to Qin He.

Above the Celestial Gate, there were Jiang Taichu and Hua Qingyun, and below the Celestial Gate, there was Wang Yanbing.

These three people were the three most famous geniuses in the South Vast Heaven. Wang Yanbing was competing with the other two peerless figures from two clans above the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven. He had not entered the Celestial Gate to cultivate, but many people said that Wang Yanbing was waiting for the day when the Wang clan re-entered the Celestial Gate so he could set foot on the Celestial Gate with his clan.

After the Gu Clan fell, there were only two clans. Jiang Clan and Hua Clan were in charge of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, and the Wang family had been preparing to set foot on the Celestial Gate to replace the Gu Clan.

For people of Haotian City, Jiang Taichu and Hua Qingyun were above the Celestial Gate, who they had no chance to approach; however, Wang Yanbing was more real for them, and they could truly feel how horrifying Wang Yanbing’s strength was. Hearing what happened at the Violet Heavenly Palace Event, people of Haotian City all felt pity.

It was a pity that the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven did not participate this time.

Otherwise, the three giants of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven—Jiang Taichu, Hua Qingyun, and Wang Yanbing—could show up with Gu Dongliu—the talent created by Gu Tianxing. What a strong team.

They all believed that the current generation of South Vast Heaven was the strongest in the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

1On this day, in Haotian City, a group of armed soldiers of the Wang Family was trekking. Above the sky, there was a brilliant radiance of divine weapons shining. It was extremely sharp and illuminated the void sky in an instant.

“Time to go.” Many people looked up at the sky and saw the armed warriors of the Wang Clan roaring above them, all of them flickering toward the same direction.

At this time, within a district of Haotian City, in the inns, on the streets, there were a lot of people looking somewhere high in the distance. There were many stairs below the palace. Standing on the ground, one needed to raise their head to see it.

1Cultivators of Brahma’s Pure Sky were living there.

At this time, many people were drinking and chatting in the inns below the palace.

“I heard that Ye Futian is also living in that palace. After the battle of Violet Heavenly Palace, he came here with the Goddess Qin He and has been accompanying her.”

“Ye Futian was able to defeat the Supreme Form of Violet Heavenly Palace. He is indeed an unusual person. No wonder he is favored by Qin He.”

“Who told you Qin He Goddess favors him? Maybe she approached him for other reasons. He defeated the Supreme Form of the Great Path of Violet Heavenly Palace, but I think Ye Futian’s reputation is undeserved. He is definitely not comparable with Wang Yanbing of our Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven Wang Clan.”

“Wang Yanbing’s strength is indeed horrifying, and he is a Nirvana Saint. If Zhan Yuan meets him, Zhan Yuan will definitely lose, but if cultivators of his Plane meet him, he may not win so easily,” some reasonable people said. As the saying goes, every famous person has an advantage over others. The Violet Heavenly Palace was also a top force of the Heavenly Mandate Realm. How could the people they chose be incompetent?

Prior to this defeat, Zhan Yuan was also in his prime, but after the defeat, in addition to bringing fame to Ye Futian, Zhan Yuan was also questioned by many people.

Many people thought that perhaps the praises the Supreme Form of the Great Path had received in the Heavenly Mandate Realm were too high and that he was not worthy of his previous reputation.

“Yes, it is said that Ye Futian is Gu Dongliu’s younger brother, so he also has a close relationship with Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven. I hope the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven could make friends with him, and one day, these two Brothers, Jiang Taichu, Hua Qingyun and Wang Yanbing—these gallant figures of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven—could all stand on the top of the Heavenly Mandate Realm,” a senior remarked.

However, this idea was difficult to achieve, since many different voices had appeared in Haotian City.

People had distinct opinions. Because it was Haotian City, more people admired Wang Yanbing, but Ye Futian, on the other hand, did not have much favor.

Nowadays, the majority of people in Haotian City were young. They didn’t know what happened in the past and did not have strong feelings on the Gu’s Clan. However, elders who had experienced when the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven was flourishing and witnessed Gu Tianxing and Gu Jiangnan’s glory were fonder of Gu Dongliu and Ye Futian.

In Gu Tianxing and Gu Jiangnan’s era, the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven was very prosperous, and today’s Wang Yanbing was not comparable to them at that time.

At this moment, there seemed to be an invisible air flow coming from above the sky. Suddenly, many people stood up and looked up toward the void sky.

In the distance, gorgeous light beams entered their eyes. Divine weapons whistled in the wind, and a bunch of armed warriors came and landed in an instant.

These divine weapons came down and stopped beneath the staircase of the palace. One by one, warriors got off their weapons and lined up.

The leader of the group was wearing a silver robe. He had an unusual temperament. His face was very handsome and smooth, like marble, and his whole person was shining.

Many ladies showed their admiration. He was Wang Yanbing, now the top one person below the Renhuang figure of Haotian City.

“Wang Yanbing of the Haotian City Wang Clan came here to visit Goddesses of Brahman’s Pure Sky,” Wang Yanbing said, and his voice entered the palace.

On the stairs of the palace, a Goddess appeared and said, “Mr. Wang, please wait a moment. Qin He Goddess will meet you outside the palace.”

“Thank you, Goddess,” Wang Yanbing said and saluted, waiting patiently.

Seeing the scene, people of the Wang Family were quite proud, and everyone around them was also impressed. It seemed that the Goddess of Brahma’s Pure Sky had also heard the name of Wang Yanbing, and Goddess Qin He even greeted him in person.

However, at this moment, a few people came out from the palace, and the crowd from a distance saw quite a few ladies come out and arrange seats in the area outside the palace above the stairs.

Obviously, they were preparing to receive Wang Yanbing outside the palace.

Some people who just felt proud of Wang Yanbing showed strange looks. They had thought that Qin He was really ready to meet him in person, but it turned out that they just intended to receive him outside.

This…

However, Wang Yanbing looked calm and did not feel anything.

Brahma’s Pure Sky was the peak power of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, but the Wang Family was nothing but a dismal family and had not returned to the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven. The statuses of both sides were not equal. Before he entered the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, he was not qualified to ask the Brahma’s Pure Sky to treat them equally.

However, many people of Haotian City were dissatisfied and made complaints.

“Ye Futian is said to be in the palace, but now, they are greeting Wang Yanbing outside the palace. What do they mean?” someone said unpleasantly. After all, Wang Yanbing had a high reputation in Haotian City, but now he came to visit and was stopped outside the door.

They didn’t let him enter the palace.

If Ye Futian had not been inside, maybe they would not have felt anything, but Ye Futian was just a person with a brilliant record in one battle. Now he was in the same palace as Brahma’s Pure Sky’s people. Was Yanbing of Haotian City inferior to Ye Futian?

In the midst of peoples’ conversations, the place over the top of the palace stairs was simply arranged, and many stunning female figures appeared. When people saw the leading woman, they all shut up and were slightly distracted.

The lady under the sun looked peerless, and her body of golden proportions, perfectly showing her elegant temperament. She was just impeccable.

Even though there was some dissatisfaction, the moment people saw her, they just couldn’t be angry at such a woman.

Brahma’s Pure Sky’s First Maiden—Qin He.

“Please come in,” someone said on the stairs. Wang Yanbing and others walked to the top. They came to the front of the palace and greeted, “Wang Yanbing of Wang Clan is here to salute Goddesses of Brahma’s Pure Sky.”

Qin He was sitting on the chair. She looked at Wang Yanbing and others and said, “It was hasty, so we just made some simple arrangements. I apologize. Everyone, please sit down.”

“Thank you for your time and attention, Goddess,” Wang Yanbing nodded slightly and responded, and then he took a seat and sat down. His eyes were still on Qin He. He said, “I have heard of Brahma’s Pure Sky Goddess’s name for a long time. Now, since Qin He Goddess has come to Haotian City, I, as the master of the city, should try my best to play host to you, but I am afraid it may be too abrupt, so I am here to visit you in person.”

“You’re welcome,” Qin He said softly. “Even though I have been in the Brahma’s Pure Sky, I’ve heard of your name, too. I know Mr. Wang has beaten all Saint-Plane warriors in Haotian City and is called the top figure under the throne of Haotian City Renhuang, with the same fame Jiang Taichu and Hua Qingyun of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven.”

Jiang Taichu and Hua Qingyun were the top cultivators raised by the Celestial Gate. Wang Yanbing could be as famous as them, which proved he was extraordinary.

Today, Qin He also noticed that his temperament was indeed outstanding.

“It’s an undeserved reputation,” Wang Yanbing said modestly.

Ye Futian was also sitting beside Qin He’s main seat at this time. He didn’t have an interest in coming, but since Qin He had invited him, he had to sit with her.

At this moment, he also took a look at Wang Yanbing. He was indeed an unusual person with extraordinary temperament.

Moreover, Wang Yanbing’s gaze had always been on Qin He, but it did not make anyone feel uncomfortable. He also showed his respect.

“What brings you here today, Mr. Wang?” Qin He asked frankly. In fact, it was okay for her to decline the invitation. Although Wang Yanbing was extraordinary, she was not willing to waste too much time on him.

“In recent days, many important events have occurred in the Heavenly Mandate Realm, like the accident in the Origin Mountains and Gu Tianxing’s appearance. In our generation, the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty Crown Prince has debuted. Gao Huang of the 10,000 Divine Mountain came out of the east of the Heavenly Mandate Realm; Ye Futian defeated the Violet Heavenly Palace Zhan Yuan; Gu Dongliu inherited the Laws of Origin. What is your opinion, Goddess?” Wang Yanbing asked.

“The Heavenly Mandate Realm is vast and boundless, with countless talented figures, so there must be many gallant heroes rising up. The Prophet has predicted that changes will happen in the Heavenly Mandate Realm. It is normal for top figures of top forces to come out and show their strength. Besides, those who stand out among all these talented figures will show even more amazing talent,” Qin He said.

“So, who do you think will stand out? Who does Goddess think will be the strongest among all the forces of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, including the Demon Realm and the generations below the Renhuang figures?” Wang Yanbing asked again. “Will the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven be in the forefront?”

Everyone in the distance heard Wang Yanbing’s words. They listened carefully.

Was Wang Yanbing talking to the First Maiden of Brahma’s Pure Sky about gallant figures in the Realm?

Qin He looked at Wang Yanbing. From his words, she could feel that he also wanted to compete with those people.

“I have yet to see everyone’s performance. During the battle of Violet Heavenly Palace, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Golden Raven Crown Prince of the Sky Demon Court tied, but many top figures of the Demon Clan didn’t take a shot. Gao Huang of 10,000 Divine Mountain didn’t. The Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven was not present, so I can’t say who was the strongest,” Qin He replied.

“It’s okay to guess,” Wang Yanbing said.

Qin He glanced at him and continued, “Gu Dongliu of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven obtained the Laws of Origin and Gu Tianxing’s Celestial Laws with the protection of Nine Immortals. There must be a place for him. The Crown Prince of Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Golden Raven Crown Prince are also extraordinary. Although Mr. Ye doesn’t belong to any top forces, he defeated Zhan Yuan and should have a place, too. As for other people, I don’t know much about them and can’t comment.

“In addition, if you say which force should be the strongest, since Gu Dongliu has entered the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven and Heavenly Mandate Dynasty should be the strongest in this generation.”

These two forces that once stood at the pinnacle were still at the apex.

Wang Yanbing didn’t say much after he heard Qin He’s words. He turned his eyes and looked at Ye Futian, saying, “You must be the Supreme Form of Heavenly Laws—Ye Futian.”

Ye Futian froze there for a moment.

Wang Yanbing smiled and nodded, saying, “Glad to meet you.”

“Glad to meet you, too,” Ye Futian replied. Wang Yanbing looked back to Qin He and continued, “Goddess seems to be quite optimistic about Gu Dongliu’s future. Now, Gu Dongliu has entered the Celestial Gate, so what do you think about the future of the Violet Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty?”

“This was the internal issue of the Vast Heaven’s Celestial Gate, and I have no comment.” Qin He did not respond. This matter was sensitive. As the First Maiden, she represented Brahma’s Pure Sky when she was outside.

Wang Yanbing did not force her to answer. He said, “The accident of that time started from the turmoil of Gu Tianxing and the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty, which eventually led to the collapse of Gu Clan and the decline of the Celestial Gate. Many years have passed, and now, the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven has gradually recovered its vitality. Above the Celestial Gate, the Jiang Clan and the Hua Clan are both extremely prosperous. There are also many top family forces in Haotian City. With the rise of this generation, the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven will be revived one day, and there may be another figure like Gu Tianxing in the future. Even if not, the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven will still be able to stand firmly on top of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.”

Qin He looked at Wang Yanbing. His words seemed to be indicating something.

“What do you mean?” Qin He asked.

“The Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven does not need to be nostalgic. Since it made the decision in the past, it should completely cut off its relationship with the past instead of letting the past repeat itself. Not to mention, Gu Dongliu is not Gu Tianxing. Gu Tianxing used to stand on the top of the Heavenly Mandate Realm and was the strongest figure in the Celestial Gate. Even though Gu Dongliu has the supreme inheritance, he is still just a Saint-Plane figure. How much does it take for a Saint-Plane cultivator to become a top figure of the Heavenly Mandate Realm? It is even unknown if he can survive until then.”

Wang Yanbing continued, “Therefore, I think what the Celestial Gate did was a bit imprudent. Gu Tianxing seemed to have been arranging this for many years, but in fact, he should have not let the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven enter the game. If Gu Dongliu, one day, reaches that level, he can enter the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, but that will be a different thing. But now, it seems like he has achieved everything only due to his personal relationship.”

Many people in the distance heard Wang Yanbing’s words and showed surprise. He was aiming at the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven.

Wang Yanbing came to visit Qin He and took the opportunity to talk about the matters of the Celestial Gate.

It seemed that he was deliberately doing so to convey his voice and thoughts to the people of Haotian City.

Many people also thought Wang Yanbing’s statement made sense. It was indeed a bit risky for the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven to do so.

Ye Futian frowned. Wang Yanbing was questioning what the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven was trying to do. This could not happen in any other top forces, but it was possible in the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, since the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven was the Celestial Gate of all of Haotian City, and anyone could make their own voice here.
