The Legend of Futian

Nanhai Qing and the other two also left with Muyun Shu. Before his departure, he took a good look at Ye Futian and the others. It seemed that he underestimated these cultivators who came from the Donghua Domain.

He even had a suspicion that these people might be from the Domain Chief’s Manor of the Donghua Domain.

If that was the case, the Donghua Domain must have a grand scheme planned and attempt to encroach on Four Corner Village in the Shangqing Domain.

After Nanhai Qing and the others were gone, Ye Futian turned around to look at Tie Tou. Basking in the divine light, Tie Tou was surrounded by a dazzling circle of light. Ye Futian could vaguely see a shadow as gigantic as God visible in the sky above Tie Tou as if it was the spirit of his ancestor.

If the rumors were true, this godlike shadow could be one of the seven Lord Protectors from the past. Was Tie Tou a descendant of his?

Bang…

Tie Tou generated another burst of energy. To everyone’s surprise, it was his Life Spirit blooming. The Life Spirit seemed to wake up again and towered over everyone like a God. He brandished the Divine Hammer in his hand and overpowered everything else in the world. Like an unstoppable army, the Divine Hammer carried tremendous momentum and caused a frightening scene.

It was an extraordinary phenomenon of Tie Tou’s Life Spirit, similar to the Picture of the Domineering Golden Peng Bird that Muyun Shu displayed before. Apparently, Tie Tou also experienced an awakening while numerous pictures popping up in his head.

Ye Futian and the others waited for him quietly. They didn’t interrupt Tie Tou’s experience as they didn’t need to rush. The Day of Sacrificial Rites lasted for seven days. On top of that, the cultivation opportunity wasn’t first come, first serve. Instead, it depended on the person’s luck. Everything was predestined. Therefore, there was no need to be impatient.

Little Ling was a little anxious. She had been staring at Tie Tou. Since she didn’t know much about cultivation, she was worried that something bad might happen to Tie Tou. Her eyes were glued to him the whole time.

Tie Tou was her best friend in the village.

Moments later, the strange and extraordinary phenomenon disappeared. Tie Tou slowly opened his eyes. His clothes were torn apart because of his body growth. He looked around and noticed his bare skin and Little Ling’s fixed gaze. An embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

“Tie Tou, you seem to be taller.” Little Ling felt everything was so magical. Tie Tou had grown so much in such a short while.

“Brawnier as well…”

“I don’t know either.” Tie Tou scratched his head. Even so, he was more knowledgeable about it than Little Ling. After all, he studied under the master in the private school ever since the master told him that he had the gifts for cultivation. He learned about many things and gained a better understanding of cultivation.

“Uncle Ye,” Tie Tou suddenly recalled something and shifted his eyes to Ye Futian, asked,” Dad told me that I could sense the opportunity and may experience an awakening. Does what happened just now count as an awakening?”

“It probably does,” Ye Futian nodded. People in Four Corner Village were unique. Honestly speaking, the villagers who were considered not suitable for cultivation probably could become fine cultivators, as well, let alone the gifted ones. Tie Tou already possessed plenty of hidden talents and experienced an awakening here in the Ancestral Lands of Four Corner Village.

“I feel better now. Dad will be happy.” Tie Tou scratched his head and said with a silly smile. It was as though the point of cultivation for him was to make his blind father happy.

He should be able to satisfy his father after he got out of here.

“Let’s go and take a look at other places,” said Ye Futian.

“Okay,” Tie Tou nodded and said. “Maybe Little Ling could have a chance to experience the awakening as well. Then she will be able to study and cultivate under the master in the private school along with me.”

Little Ling’s bright eyes were filled with hope. Studying with the master in the private school had always been her wish. She was eager to be instructed by the master every day.

The villagers all admired the master, but she rarely had the chance to meet him.

Ye Futian and the others continued to move forward. Some people made discoveries in different areas, but more had not found any clue. They were wandering around randomly, searching for opportunities.

“They are all students in the private school,” Little Ling said in a low voice. She envied the students who could be taught by the master, and she recognized every one of them. The people who obtained opportunities were all students in the private school.

The master indeed had a good eye.

“Yes,” Tie Tou nodded as well.

Ye Futian learned from their conversation that people who were chosen by the master usually could come by some cultivation opportunities during the Day of Sacrificial Rites. Perhaps the master already recognized their innate ability beforehand.

“That being so, I probably don’t have a chance.” Little Ling was dispirited and disappointed by the thought. Since the master didn’t choose her to study cultivation with him, she was likely to go back empty-handed like many other people.

“That’s not true. I asked the master, and he told me that there were exceptions in the past. Some people suddenly gained the ability to cultivate after they came here. Maybe you’re one of them,” Tie Tou comforted Little Ling.

“Alright.” Little Ling knew that Tie Tou only said it to make her feel better.

Ye Futian raised his head and looked at the sky above. The splendid ancient divine nation seemed vivid and ethereal at the same time. The grand palace gloried in the admiration and worship of people.

Ye Futian noticed that Muyun Shu and his mates were walking toward the left of the divine nation’s palace. He could vaguely see a dazzling divine bird there. The bird looked like a golden statue, and Muyun Shu went inside.

Muyun Shu had the Life Spirit of the Golden-Winged Peng Bird, an inheritance allegedly from one of the seven Lord Protectors. It was only natural for him to gain an opportunity here. Besides, Muyun Shu was already said to be a very impressive cultivator who possessed tremendous talents.

A God with a pair of wings on his back radiated brilliant golden light in the sky above the Golden-Winged Giant Peng Bird. Muyun Shu was suspended in midair as if he was being baptized by God. In an instant, beams of the blinding divine light shone from his body and attracted many people’s attention. All the young men were jealous of Muyun Shu’s luck.

Even outsiders sighed to themselves. It was crucial to find the right person. The Nanhai family already recruited Muyun Lan as their son-in-law. Adding Muyun Shu to their side, they would become inconceivably powerful in the future.

Muyun Lan and Muyun Shu would certainly grow into master cultivators as long as they didn’t die unexpectedly. As cultivators from Four Corner Village, they were born with the perfect Great Path.

“Amazing,” Ling stared in that direction and said quietly. Even though she didn’t think well of Muyun Shu, she had to admit that he was brilliant like the son of God at this moment.

“I will definitely be better than him,” Tie Tou glared at Muyun Shu and said with grim determination.

Ye Futian was tickled by Tie Tou’s teenage spirit. He cracked a smile and said, “You certainly will.”

Then, he took a scan around, wondering what kind of power brought this world into being and why he could see everything here.
