The Legend of Futian

Ye Futian and his group continued walking around Wangdu. They then returned to their inn. However, according to Lin Qiu, they had only covered a small part of Wangdu.

As the main city of the Dongxiao Continent, Wangdu was expansive and had countless cultivators.

Even so, news of Ye Futian’s group had spread very quickly. It was for no other reason than the Alchemy Conference of Alchemy Divine Palace receiving a lot of attention. Everything that occurred during the conference would naturally be known far and wide very quickly. Soon, it was being discussed in taverns big and small.

Many people now knew that Alchemy Emperor had also come to Wangdu. Alchemy Emperor’s descendants had also come into conflict with an alchemy grandmaster of Alchemy Divine Palace and even managed to suppress him. Some people said that Alchemy Emperor had done this on purpose, sending people to disturb the Alchemy Conference to prove his pill-concocting ability.

However, some people also believed that Alchemy Emperor was above doing so and that the members of Alchemy Divine Palace had spoken out arrogantly in the first place. They had boasted that most of the talented alchemy masters in the Donghua Domain were from Alchemy Divine Palace. They ignored the existence of Alchemy Emperor and the other alchemy forces. That was why the disciple of Alchemy Emperor could not take it.

However, Alchemy Emperor did not know about this. While Ye Futian was out strolling, Alchemy Emperor and Goddess Donglai went to Wangshen Watchtower to visit the master there, Millet Emperor.

Ordinary people would naturally not be able to meet the Millet Emperor easily, but Goddess Donglai could. She was the heir of Supreme Deity Donglai. Supreme Deity Donglai and Millet Emperor were good friends. Many years ago, when Goddess Donglai was still young, she had been close with Millet Emperor and called him Uncle. Millet Emperor would always embrace her. Their relationship was naturally intimate. It was just that after things occurred to Supreme Deity Donglai, Goddess Donglai had always remained in seclusion on Eastern Deity Island. Many years had passed, and their relationship had grown distant.

After Alchemy Emperor and Goddess Donglai returned, many people came to see them in the palace. The number of people who came grew. Many of them were renowned figures of Wangdu. Alchemy Emperor could only receive them. After that, only did he know that Ye Futian’s group had stirred up trouble in Wangdu and that they had directly offended Alchemy Divine Palace. This made him speechless.

Right now, in the banquet area in the palace, an elder smiled at Alchemy Emperor and said, “Now, Alchemy Divine Palace is the largest alchemy force in Wangdu. Alchemy grandmasters are being drawn to it. It is difficult for the cultivators from the outside to obtain even a pill from them. This has caused Alchemy Divine Palace to grow more and more arrogant. Now that Alchemy Emperor has come, it is good for someone to knock them down a few notches. They should understand that Alchemy Divine Palace is not the only alchemy force.”

This cultivator was clearly dissatisfied with Alchemy Divine Palace. After hearing this, Alchemy Emperor was somewhat speechless. It seemed that he had been dragged into this mess.

Many people believed that Ye Futian was intentionally sent by the Alchemy Emperor to stir up trouble in Alchemy Divine Palace and sully their image.

“That is right. That person proclaimed himself the top alchemy master after Supreme Deity Donglai and is even more arrogant. Alchemy Emperor is the heir of Supreme Deity Donglai. Your ability will certainly not be weaker than his,” said another person. This was all just fancy words to appease Alchemy Emperor.

However, in reality, the Alchemy Emperor knew his own strength. Rumor has it that the person in Alchemy Divine Palace was already aiming to break through to the next Plane. That person’s pill-concocting ability was extremely proficient. In terms of level, it should be above that of Alchemy Emperor’s. After all, many years ago, the other party had been an incredible alchemy grandmaster.

Alchemy Emperor naturally did not take such praise to heart.

“Everyone, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Liunian is neither my disciple nor an alchemy master of the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor. I did not send him to the Alchemy Conference of Alchemy Divine Palace. This matter should just be a coincidence,” Alchemy Emperor explained. Such an explanation was meaningless as those who had misunderstood would still misunderstand. Nevertheless, Alchemy Emperor was not so free to find fault with Alchemy Divine Palace on this trip and stir up trouble.

“He isn’t?” someone said as they revealed a strange expression. He looked at Alchemy Emperor and said, “Then, who brought up such an outstanding and monstrous alchemy master?”

Alchemy Emperor would not lie to them on this. If Ye Liunian were his disciple or cultivated in the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor, Alchemy Emperor would not deny it.

“Regarding that, I will not say anything on the matter. Please understand,” Alchemy Emperor said as he saluted with his fists. This caused the crowd to be even more curious. Could Ye Liunian’s master be one of the powerful alchemy grandmasters who kept low profiles?

They could not figure out who it could be.

“Could we meet Little Friend Ye?” someone asked with a smile.

“I’ll ask him,” Alchemy Emperor replied as he instructed a person beside him. The person left and, not long after, Ye Futian’s group arrived. Ye Futian glanced at the group of people before him. They were all senior figures with upper-level Renhuang cultivation.

“Seniors, Junior Ye Liunian bids you all well,” Ye Futian said with a smile as he bowed politely. Although Ye Futian’s ability was not below that of many senior figures, he was still a junior figure. He should not forgo the necessary courtesies.

“He has a good temperament,” someone praised when he saw Ye Futian. Ye Futian was dressed in white robes and had white hair. He appeared extraordinarily handsome. Ye Futian’s temperament alone gave off an outstanding vibe. One could tell that he was a prominent figure at a glance.

“He is such a prominent figure. He must be from a powerful background. I wonder which master managed to cultivate such an extraordinary talent,” someone else praised. He was trying to dig up Ye Futian’s identity. Ye Futian indeed gave off such a vibe. With such temperament, he appeared to be a descendant of a powerful clan.

Based on Alchemy Emperor’s tone, that should be the case.

“Seniors, all of you are praising me too highly,” Ye Futian replied with a smile as he greeted them back. He similarly did not answer the other party’s question.

“Little Friend Ye’s alchemy techniques are outstanding. Even Grandmaster Zi He was rendered speechless,” someone said with a smile. “Many people claimed that when Little Friend Ye presented your pill, no one from Alchemy Divine Palace could say a word. I can imagine how their expressions were like then. What grade was the pill that Little Friend Ye concocted?”

“It was a middle-grade pill. After all, my cultivation is at the middle-level Renhuang Plane,” Ye Futian answered with a smile.

The other party smiled and nodded his head slightly. They had all heard that although the pill he had concocted was only a middle-grade pill, it was a flawless pill of the Great Path. It was just that they had not witnessed it themselves.

At that moment, a person traversed the sky nearby and immediately landed on the cliff outside the palace. Ye Futian turned to look at him. The person who had arrived saluted with his fists and said, “A representative of Heavenly Battle Palace greets Senior Alchemy Emperor.”

He was from Heavenly Battle Palace. Ye Futian recalled the place with the extremely magnificent Law Battle Area that they had passed by yesterday. They were the top force in Wangdu, Heavenly Battle Palace. Ye Futian never imagined that their representative would come here.

The position of this force in Wangdu was not below that of Alchemy Divine Palace.

“Please come in,” Alchemy Emperor said as he looked outside. The person immediately crossed the sky and came over.

“What brings Heavenly Battle Palace here?” Alchemy Emperor asked. With Heavenly Battle Palace’s position, they did not need to flatter him.

“We have come to seek Renhuang Ye and Lin Qiu,” the person who arrived said. Ye Futian and Lin Qiu beside him felt somewhat surprised. Heavenly Battle Palace was looking for them?

Alchemy Emperor looked at Ye Futian. With a smile, he said, “You all should chat.”

Ye Futian asked, “What business do you have with me?”

The other party answered, “Heavenly Battle Palace has heard that recently many cultivators from the neighboring continents have come to Wangdu. Hence, we wanted to invite everyone to pay us a visit. Aside from that, we have also invited many forces from Wangdu. Coincidentally, there will be a few exciting battles taking place in Heavenly Battle Palace. Therefore, we intentionally came over to invite Renhuang Ye, Dragon Submission Villa, as well as everyone from Taiyuan Continent to come over to Heavenly Battle Palace to spectate the battles.”

“Heavenly Battle Palace is a place for Law Battles and regularly becomes a place to meet people. Cultivators love to battle. With such conditions, Heavenly Battle Palace is a suitable place to meet people,” Lin Qiu explained to Ye Futian through transmitted thought. Lin Qiu then smiled and said, “Alright, since Heavenly Battle Palace has come especially to invite us over, we will naturally oblige. Thank you for coming all this way.”

As Lin Qiu said this, he looked over at Ye Futian, who was beside him, and asked, “Shall we go together?”

“Alright, let’s go over to take a look,” Ye Futian said. Since the other party had come all this way to invite them over, he would naturally oblige.

“Everyone, let’s go,” the other party said as he gestured. Ye Futian’s group walked out. The member from Heavenly Battle Palace bowed slightly at Alchemy Emperor and said, “Apologies for disturbing Senior Alchemy Emperor. We will be leaving.”

Alchemy Emperor nodded his head slightly and did not say anything. Very quickly, the other group also disappeared. As they watched the silhouettes head off, someone said, “The members of Heavenly Battle Palace love to battle. That fellow might have arranged this gathering. They must have also invited Alchemy Divine Palace aside from inviting Little Friend Ye.”

“It is not a possibility; it is a certainty,” commented someone to the side. “They would not miss such an event. Not just Alchemy Divine Palace, anyone that they invite would also not miss this event.”

As they spoke, they glanced over at Alchemy Emperor, seemingly wanting to glean something from his expression. However, they saw that the Alchemy Emperor’s expression was calm, as though everything was as usual, and there was nothing off. He seemed to be unfazed by Ye Futian’s departure.

Could it be that he was not worried that Ye Futian would be taken advantage of?

Or rather, it was his confidence towards Ye Futian’s ability. Aside from his alchemy techniques, they did not know much about the actual ability of that monstrous alchemy master. However, he was most likely not weak.

Right now, Heavenly Battle Palace was filled with people and was extremely lively.

Wangdu was vast and endless. Yet, among the most prosperous and lively places in Wangdu, Heavenly Battle Palace was second to none.

In Heavenly Battle Palace, a large number of cultivators of various Planes gathered every day. Each Law Battle Platform was grand and impressive. From top to bottom, it was extremely majestic.

Ye Futian’s group were guided upstairs by the cultivator from Heavenly Battle Palace. There were already many people waiting there. Ye Futian saw some of the people he had encountered yesterday. Qi Mu and Zhong Fan from Alchemy Divine Palace had also been invited.

From another direction, there were many cultivators also making their way over here. One group among them was exceptionally eye-catching. They were a group of goddesses from Goddess Peak!
