Chapter 1571: The Sky River Great Elder

On the Taixuan Mountain, Ye Futian came here to see Lord Taixuan. There was no one else, not even Yaya. He didn’t know where she was, and he planned to let Yaya stay on Taixuan Mountain to cultivate. Ye Futian didn’t have too high expectations for Yaya, and for him, it would be enough as long as she could break the shackles and enter the Renhuang Plane and be safe.

In the future, Yaya could travel around the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path and settle down in a realm and become an Empress.

Of course, this was his idea. If Yaya knew, who knew what she would think.

“Do you want to depart?” Lord Taixuan asked Ye Futian directly when he came.

“Lord, would you go in person?” Ye Futian said. Beside Ye Futian, the Lord was here alone, so obviously, he was not going to bring other people with him.

“I have not seen my old friend for a long time. This time, I want to go to visit him, not just because of you,” Lord Taixuan said with a smile.

“Okay,” Ye Futian nodded and said, “then let’s go.”

Lord Taixuan raised his hand, and suddenly, a bright beam of sword light shone. A giant sword appeared in front of the two. Lord Taixuan walked directly up there, looked back at Ye Futian, and said, “Come with me.”

Ye Futian stepped up to the giant sword. The next moment, the giant sword flew through the air. It disappeared in an instant and traversed an infinite distance.

The giant sword was wrapped in a sword curtain, blocking the outside wind. Ye Futian couldn’t feel a trace of external force in it, but he could perceive that the changing of seasons was rapidly going on.

In just a moment, Ye Futian found that he was no longer on the ground, and he could not even see the buildings. There was only deep and endless emptiness in front of his eyes.

“Are we out of the Higher Heavens Realm?” Ye Futian asked, looking at Lord Taixuan beside him.

“Yes,” Lord Taixuan nodded and said, “look down.”

Ye Futian took a look below and could vaguely see a boundless huge tectonic plate, which was releasing light. It laid between the sky and earth.

It was the Upper Heavens Realm. In fact, they were already in an extremely distant place, but because the Upper Heavens Realm was too large, it could still be seen.

Ye Futian was a little surprised, but he was not shocked because he knew Lord Taixuan’s strength. Lord Taixuan’s ability exceeded that of a Renhuang figure, so how fast could he go? It was impossible to estimate.

The boundless Upper Heavens Realm was extremely vast in the eyes of Saint-Plane cultivators, but no realm among the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path was large enough for Lord Taixuan.

The more powerful a person was, the less he or she would be affected by the barrier of distance, or the influence could be none.

“Is this the world of starry sky? Why can’t I see the endless stars?” Ye Futian whispered. In the past, the cross-border travels he had were all aided by spatial matrixes. This was the first time he directly crossed the realm with human power. Everything he saw was so clear.

The boundless world gave him a very strange feeling. This was not like the description of the universe, nor like the imaginary gorgeous starry sky, but was lonely and deadly silent. There were turbulent torrents drifting around, and sometimes even they even encountered storms of the Great Path.

In this boundless space, Ye Futian had an illusion that his speed seemed to slow down and that he could see everything more clearly.

“Lord, what kind of world is this world?” Ye Futian asked. He had some doubts. Last time, in the ancestral shrine, the mysterious man said that the world was unreal. What did it mean?

“The world where sky and earth collapse,” Lord Taixuan whispered. “As for the truth of the world, you need to explore it yourself.”

Ye Futian’s talent for cultivation was outstanding, and his potential was limitless. Now he was at the height of his youth, Lord Taixuan didn’t want him to know the cruel truth of the world too early. Perhaps this would be a blow to his state of mind.

“The Path of the World collapses.” Ye Futian had heard of these words several times. Was this deadly silent world a result of the collapse of the Path of the World?

Then how prosperous the world was before the collapse of the sky and earth?

“Where are we going on this trip?” Ye Futian asked again.

“Tianhe Realm,” Lord Taixuan replied. Ye Futian showed doubt. Tianhe Realm did not belong to the Nine Supreme Realms. He had never heard of this realm.

However, Ye Futian didn’t continue asking. Since Lord Taixuan took him, he naturally had his reasons. Lord Taixuan’s old friend must also be a great character.

The two walked through the lonely, deep and endless space. After a while, Lord Taixuan said to Ye Futian, “We will arrive soon.”

On his way, Ye Futian had been observing, looking at this endless space. He heard Lord Taixuan’s words and looked down. Then the sword penetrated directly into another space, where Ye Futian saw the land and mountains, rivers, and seas.

The azure sky was clean as if it had been washed. They flew under the clouds, and their speed dropped. Because it was Lord Taixuan who steered the sword, after they slowed down, their speed was still very fast. Ye Futian noticed that there were very few human traces along the way and felt somewhat curious. Even in the wilderness of mountains, there should have been a lot of people cultivating.

“Tianhe Realm experienced a catastrophic war many years ago, and its vitality was severely damaged. Many cultivators died, and later, a lot of cultivators migrated and left. After many years, Tianhe Realm has recovered, but it is no longer as prosperous as before,” Lord Taixuan said. His voice was calm, but what behind his words was an epic war that destroyed a realm.

Ye Futian couldn’t imagine how cruel it was. Who caused such a terrifying war?

What was it for?

“My friend is revered by people of the Tianhe Realm as the Sky River Great Elder. When he preached in the Tianhe Realm, he was the most famous and prestigious person here. He had 3,000 disciples who scattered all over the world,” Lord Taixuan continued. Ye Futian was a little surprised when he heard this title.

This was the Tianhe Realm, and for someone named “Tianhe Great Elder,” one could imagine how honorable the title was.

“However, after that war, he sent away all his disciples. I don’t know how he is now, whether or not he is still preaching and cultivating,” Lord Taixuan murmured as if talking to himself. They keep moving forward, and Ye Futian kept all the Lord’s words in mind.

After a while, they saw human traces and city buildings. They passed through the crowds and came to a land of fairy-like, misty mountains. It seemed that even Minds were isolated from these mountains, and the atmosphere was very mysterious.

“I haven’t seen anyone for many years,” at this time, a voice said from the mist. The person seemed to be aware of their arrival and immediately told them they were unwelcome.

“Even me?” another voice said. In the next moment, Lord Taixuan directly showed up on a fae peak.

Sitting on Xianren Peak, there was an old man with white hair. His hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he looked quite scruffy. Ye Futian could hardly imagine that such a big person of the realm would be so careless about his own image.

The old man with white hair looked at Lord Taixuan, then smiled and said, “How come you are here to see me?”

“I haven’t been here for many years,” Lord Taixuan said with a smile. “By the way, today, I bring a young man to visit you.”

Sky River Great Elder took a look at Ye Futian and saw that his hair was also white. He could not help but smile as he said, “A young boy with white hair. He must also have a sad story.”

“Ye Futian is here to see Great Elder,” Ye Futian said and bowed to him in respect.

Sky River Great Elder nodded slightly. He asked Lord Taixuan, “Your disciple?”

“No,” Lord Taixuan shook his head and said. “I haven’t seen you in years. Do you want to play Go with me?”

“Sure,” Sky River Great Elder nodded and said. He waved his hand, and all of a sudden, a Go board appeared in front of him. He pointed at Lord Taixuan and said, “You sit on whichever side you want and get your own Go pieces.”

Lord Taixuan nodded and sat directly in front of the Go board. And these two old men really started to play Go.

Ye Futian stood aside to watch quietly. He was also proficient in Go, but when he saw two seniors playing it, he only felt that there was a great horror. The computing power of people of their realm was too great for him to understand, and it was completely beyond the level of Go.

“So many years have gone. Are you still thinking about things from that year?” Lord Taixuan dropped a piece and asked.

“I have forgotten,” the old man shook his head and said.

“You have forgotten? Is there anyone other than you here?” Lord Taixuan asked. “How grand the scene was. You used to have 3,000 disciples, and your disciples were all over the world. Where are they now?”

“There is a limitation to a person’s ability,” the old man shook his head and said with a smile.

“No,” Lord Taixuan shook his head and dropped another piece, saying, “you are just blaming yourself and think it is all your fault.”

“Did you come from afar just to tell me these things?” the old man said and also dropped a Go piece, but he did it slowly and casually.

“Some time ago, Ye Futian proved his Path in the Shangxiao Divine Palace and entered the Ancestral Shrine,” Lord Taixuan said.

The old man looked up at Ye Futian again, smiling. “From first glance, I could tell you have a good fortune. Although the road of cultivation can be tough, a prosperous future is waiting for you. You are bound to stir up a storm in the future.”

“You see it?” Lord Taixuan asked.

“I haven’t seen anyone’s fortune for a long time,” the old man shook his head and said. “You came here because of this young man. What is the matter? Just say it.”

Lord Taixuan did not respond but dropped a Go piece, and then turned to look at Ye Futian next to him, and said, “Show your cultivation method to show this senior.”

“My cultivation method?” Ye Futian asked, puzzled.

“Yes.” Lord Taixuan nodded and said, “The cultivation method that used your body as the melting furnace of the Great Path.”

Ye Futian didn’t know when Lord Taixuan had seen it. He remembered the Lord also asked about it before departure.

Despite some doubts, he still did as he was told and released the Deed of Thorough Comprehension. Suddenly, the light of the Great Path shone brightly, and he turned into the furnace of the Great Path.

Seeing this scene, the old man put down the Go piece in his hand and straightened up. He gazed at Ye Futian and asked, “Who taught this skill to you?”

“My teacher,” Ye Futian said. Could it be that the Deed of Thorough Comprehension was related to this elder?

Did Lord Taixuan bring him here because of this?

“Who is your teacher?” the old man stared at Ye Futian and asked.

Ye Futian also looked at him. Lord Taixuan said, “You can tell him.”

Ye Futian nodded. He trusted that Lord Taixuan would not harm him, and there was no need to worry.

“Qi Xuangang,” Ye Futian said.
