The Legend of Futian

"Is Benefactor Ye here to render aid to the Divine Prefecture? To destroy the allied forces of the Devil World, the Dark World, and the Empty Divine Realm?" Tongchan Arhat clasped his hands together and asked Ye Futian.

His temperament was outstanding as he wore a smile on his face. Overall, he gave people a feeling of being incredibly friendly. However, Ye Futian knew Tongchan Arhat to be a very scheming individual, and what he specialized in was the cultivation of telepathy. Still, Ye Futian was a little curious. Now his strength was much greater than that of Tongchan Arhat, and he wondered if the telepathy of the other would be effective on him.

He smiled as he looked at Tongchan Arhat. A thought surfaced in his mind. As he was observing the look on Tongchan Arhat's face, he saw that the expression of the other remained unchanged, and he could not fathom what he was thinking. Ye Futian then put the thought in his mind aside.

After all, in addition to Tongchan Arhat, Tongchan Buddha Lord was also here. This kind of individual with a superpower would be no weaker than him. Perhaps he would be able to see what was on his mind.

When facing Tongchan Buddha Lord and Tongchan Arhat, he would do well to watch himself when he dealt with them.

"I cultivated in the Original Realm, and I don't belong to any of the six realms. I stand alone and do not join with any other forces, so I am in no position to intervene in the battle of the six realms," Ye Futian replied.

"Benefactor Ye was once from the Divine Prefecture, and the Original Realm was part of the Divine Prefecture. Not to mention you had spent considerable time at the World of Buddhism. The Devil World, the Dark World, and the Empty Divine Realm have now invaded the Divine Prefecture and disrupted the lives of every living being. Benefactor Ye is someone who has a destination with Buddhism and has extraordinary strength. You ought to help defeat the evil and defend what is right," Tongchan Arhat proclaimed loudly, persuading Ye Futian to take action.

"I am of average aptitude, and my cultivation is shallow. I do not have such high aspirations as the Arhat. The matter of eliminating the evils of the world and defending the righteousness is better served by the Arhat and the other Buddhas Lords." Ye Futian responded with a smile, calm and easy as if they were chatting casually.

What was right and what was evil?

Although the Devil World was the invading force, hadn't Divine Prefecture forces invaded the Original Realm and attacked Ziwei once upon a time?

At that time, who had stepped forward to fight against evil and defend righteousness?

The good and evil in the world could not be so easily judged by a single word. He couldn't preside over the battle of the six realms because he could not intervene. The Devil World and The Reaper from the Dark Court were inextricably linked to him as well.

"Is that so?" a cold, sarcastic voice said. The tone was not as friendly as Tongchan Arhat. The man who spoke at this moment was none other than Tongchan Buddha Lord. He looked at Ye Futian and said, "I heard that you had gone to the Devil World to cultivate, and Yu Sheng—your good friend and brother—is now a giant in the Devil World, the heir of the Devil Emperor. Later, the Dark Court had paid you a visit in Ziwei Segmentum; it was said that The Reaper was also present."

"These are all true, aren't they?" Tongchan Buddha Lord stared at Ye Futian with terrifying eyes. A golden Light of Buddha flowed inside of them as if he wanted to see through everything. At the same time, there was a mysterious and unfathomable power that shrouded Ye Futian.

Clearly, he wanted to see into Ye Futian's thoughts.

Ye Futian fixed his attention on Tongchan Buddha Lord with a smile on his face. His expression did not change because of what the other had said, but at the moment when the other asked the question, he did move a thought in his mind.

Although he covered it up quickly and didn't think about it anymore, the other could still spy some of it.

At least this was for real.

"Just as I thought!" Tongchan Buddha Lord stared at Ye Futian across the air, "It seems that Benefactor Ye not only not intends to stand on the side of the Divine Prefecture to help eliminate these invaders, but you also want to help the Devil World and the Dark World to invade The Divine Prefecture?"

Honestly, Ye Futian felt quite indifferent inside. He thought that the other knew what had happened in the Devil World and the Ziwei Segmentum. Although this was not some big secret, and they were easy enough to uncover. This, at least, proved that the others had spies hidden somewhere.

Whether it was the Devil World or the Ziwei Segmentum, spies were watching their every move.

It seemed that he was still too naive.

Over the years, the Ziwei Segmentum had gathered cultivators from everywhere to enter Ziwei Imperial Palace to cultivate and strengthen the Ziwei Imperial Palace.

There was a large number of people that were recruited. Though it was not so easy to become part of the core group at Ziwei Imperial Palace, it was not so difficult to enter the Ziwei Imperial Palace to cultivate. To dispatch one or two spies inside would not be a difficult task for any of these principalities.

Therefore, he assumed that the Devil World and the Ziwei Segmentum might have already been compromised.

"I have something I want to ask the Buddha Lord," Ye Futian asked. Tongchan Buddha Lord looked at him and said, "Please."

"The Buddha Lord is an expert in telepathy and can spy on the thoughts of others at will. However, only the Buddha Lord himself knows what he had detected in the thoughts of others." Ye Futian smiled and continued, "This means that the Buddha Lord is free to say whatever he pleases, with no one the wiser?"

"How dare you!" some Buddhist cultivator lashed out at him. He clasped his hands together, as the Light of Buddha was shining all around him. A powerful oppressive force permeated and went straight for Ye Futian.

A sharp aura flashed through the eyes of Tongchan Buddha Lord, directed pointing at Ye Futian.

"Who is the Buddha Lord that the likes of you dared to question him?" A Buddhist cultivator took a step forward, and his body was shining with the brilliance of Vajra. Waves of domineering Light of Buddha pressured Ye Futian in the void.

When Ye Futian saw this, he merely glanced at the one who spoke, a coldness in his heart. Then, he took a step forward.

With just one step, infinite golden light swept out, as well as a terrifying power of Buddhism that swooped down. The Sound of Buddha lingered between heaven and earth as a monstrous Light of Buddha was released, drowning this corner of the sky. The Sound of Buddha that contained within the Light of Buddha sounded like a powerful spell.

Bang... Under this terrifying pressure, the cultivator who took a step further was knocked back immediately. He raised his head to glare at Ye Futian in the void, and his expression was not pleasant.

"With such lowly cultivation, aren't you ashamed to parade like this in front of me?" Ye Futian chided loudly, like the Sound of Buddha from the Great Path, resounding throughout the void. It was like a lion's roar or a glaring Vajra. This loud boom deafened the eardrums of the other, and his body seemed on the verge of being shattered. The Light of Buddha upon him was dispelled by that shock, and he stumbled a few steps backward.

His expression changed rapidly to one of shock. However, at this moment, the Light of Buddha was shining on Tongchan Buddha Lord, covering the surrounding area and protecting that cultivator within it.

"Your cultivation is lowly, and yet you are here mouthing off instead of working on your cultivation. Which Great Buddha taught you that?" Ye Futian's eyes were full of contempt as they swept towards that Buddhist cultivator. The man had nothing to say. At this time, the aura in his body was still quite unsteady. Furthermore, Ye Futian had suppressed him with a powerful Buddhist method, and he had no answer to that.

"I have cultivated Buddhism on the Spirit Mountain for decades and received many blessings of Buddhism. I have spent a lot of time studying the wonders of Buddhism with my being, and I still find it wanting. Now a mere Buddha Lord comes here and refuses to be questioned, how arrogant is that!" Ye Futian said coldly, "It was based on my relationship with Buddhism that I address you as the Buddha Lord, strictly out of respect given to Buddhism. Otherwise, since when do you think it's your business to give me advice on what I should or should not do?"

Ye Futian's speech was aggressive and unrelenting, a complete reversal from the humility he exhibited before. It seemed that at this time, these Buddhist cultivators finally realized that the young man who had gone to Spirit Mountain once upon a time to seek the way was now the world-renowned lord and master of Ziwei Segmentum!
