Chapter 2183: Cultivation

It didn’t take long for the top-notch cultivators from all over the Shangqing Domain to leave, with only those of the ancient royal family of Duan remaining behind.

They were all feeling intense shock deep down, thinking that it had been fortunate for them not to have to continue becoming enemies of the Four Corner Village, instead making friends with them. While the master from the village didn’t concern himself with affairs outside, who knew what would have happened if something were to happen to the Four Corner Village?

At present, Duan Tianxiong felt that the master from the village was more than what met the eye.

That was the sacred remains of Great Emperor Shenjia, and he wondered just how that master managed to control it so perfectly.

The master was practically invincible for being able to manipulate the powers of that sacred remains.

That would be like truly gaining a godlike weapon in one’s hands.

Some forces of extremely ancient lineages in the Divine Prefecture were said to have such treasures in their possession. Despite that, it was still not certain that they would be able to resist the master of Four Corner Village when he controlled the body of Great Emperor Shenjia. The power was so terrifying that despite having only been a bystander back then, Duan Tianxiong was still shocked to the core.

Someone as powerful as the leader of the Nanhai Clan hadn’t been able to endure a single hit, having his body penetrated and was forced to retreat.

Everyone from the Shangqing Domain was forced to reevaluate the powers of Four Corner Village anew at the moment.

The cultivators of Four Corner City saw everything that transpired and were all in awe, hoping even more intensely that they would be able to train in the Village.

However, only those from the Village knew that while the master was indeed powerful, yet the master himself had said that he had been put under some kind of limitation, preventing him from leaving the village. That time might have been a coincidence, where Ye Futian brought the sacred remains of Great Emperor Shenjia into the village, which the master could use to put the rest in place.

Ye Futian breathed a sigh of relief. He had been prepared to be taken away, and he didn’t expect the master to act at such moments. Furthermore, the master had actually been able to achieve perfect manipulation of the sacred remains.

That battle alone cemented his renown of being invincible.

After that battle, no other cultivation forces of the Upper Nine Heavens, the Domain Chief’s Manor included, would definitely dare to do anything against those from the Village so easily or thoughtlessly. That meant that it would be a lot safer for villagers to venture outside from then on out.

The people throughout the Shangqing Domain had to elevate the status of the cultivators of the Village to that of those from the Domain Chief’s Manor.

“I never expect that I would be able to witness such a magnificent battle today. There could hardly be anyone capable of matching the powers of the master,” Duan Tianxiong commented, and he spoke very highly of the master. That battle was more than enough to be known as the most intense one throughout the domain.

Titans of the Upper Nine Heavens all over the Shangqing Domain attacked Four Corner Village, and they were all repelled by the master alone. Despite the fact that he had only fought by making use of the sacred remains of Great Emperor Shenjia, the battle was unlike any other.

Furthermore, the master was truly someone out of the world. Ye Futian had previously brought the sacred remains in order to return it. It was also obvious that the master who had controlled the sacred remains didn’t desire the sacred remains, as he wouldn’t have let Ye Futian bring that body out otherwise.

It was only until when people were about to attack Ye Futian and take him away that the master made his move, telling them to back off and leave the sacred remains behind as well. The master made good on his word, as he managed to keep Ye Futian and the sacred remains behind.

The cultivators of the village said nothing. Old Ma then said to Duan Tianxiong, “How about we head inside the village for a bit?”

“That wouldn’t be necessary for me. However, Duan Qiong and the young ones have always wanted to take a look at the village. How about letting them stay behind and take a tour around the place then?” Duan Tianxiong smiled as he said to Old Ma, who then nodded. “Very well.”

“In that case, I shall take my leave. None would dare to do anything to the village after what happened here. Right now, we shall just wait for news from the imperial palace,” Duan Tianxiong added. Old Ma and the others nodded.

Ye Futian was feeling rather restless after hearing that. With the dust settled then, he, too, hoped that news from the imperial palace would come sooner rather than later. He was feeling very anxious to return to his native realm and check things out back there.

Duan Tianxiong took his leave, and everyone returned to the village. The sacred remains were controlled by the master and headed to the private school. Ye Futian was summoned by the master as soon as he returned, and he went to the school as well. The sacred remains lay at the side without making moving. It seemed as if he was completely under the master’s control.

“Thank you, master.” Ye Futian bowed to the master. The way he saw it, the master seemed to have become even more mysterious, and he was unable to see through the master at all.

According to the villagers, the master had been around for a very, very long time. Yet, no one actually knew how long. It was possible that the master was as old as the village itself.

Furthermore, the master had a mystical air about him. He made himself feel so surreal to the others that it seemed like he didn’t belong to the mortal world.

“Given that the sacred remains came with you, it became apparent that your destinies were intertwined, and there was indeed no need for you to return it. Now that the cultivators of the Shangqing Domain are so brutal with their approach, then we have no need to play nice with them. Just come here if you want to learn from the sacred remains from here on out. If anything were to happen, it’d be easy to nip it in the bud in time as well,” the master then said to Ye Futian.

“Very well.” Ye Futian bowed. “There is something I’d like to ask, master.”

“Please,” the master replied.

“What actually happened when the Heavenly Path collapsed back in ancient times? Is the very extreme of cultivation breaking the Heavenly path? Why would someone with your kind of powers stay in the village all the time?” Ye Futian asked.

“Matters with the world of cultivators are not as simple as you thought they would be. Cultivators sought the highest level achievable, and there was a war between gods taking place in ancient times. As for the limitations on me now, know that even in the present day, what you see may not actually be true, let alone what happened in ancient times. You’ll be able to get to know such things when you’ve reached a certain height,” the master said to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian was feeling rather unsettled, wondering what the truth behind the collapse of the Heavenly Path was and what was going on with the world of cultivators currently.

He wondered if what he was seeing was indeed not the truth.

“There is no need to overthink it. The answers would be laid before you once you’ve reached the required level. By then, you wouldn’t be able to turn a blind eye to it even if you want to,” the master continued. Ye Futian nodded and bowed once again. “Thank you, master.”

He left the private school, and several people went up to him as soon as he emerged. They were none other than Fang Cun, Little Ling, Tie Tou, and Duo Yu.

The four of them had grown quite a bit, and the way they saw it, things changed every day.

After knowing just how surreally powerful the master was, he came to understand why the youngsters from the village were all so powerful, being born with an aptitude for the Great Path, destined to a cut above the others. All of them had incredibly frightening potential.

The achievement of the four of them would probably eclipse that of Fang Gai, Old Man, Blind Tie, and the others. All of them would grow up to be extremely renowned figures.

“How has your training been going recently?” he patted their heads and asked.

“Teacher, I’ve been watching them the whole time. They are doing fine, and the master has been teaching us as well,” Fang Cun smiled and replied. The boy was considerably more respectful to Ye Futian than how he used to be. And that respect was genuine, and the boy was indeed less naughty than how he used to be.

That probably has to do with him having grown considerably.

“Sure. Don’t slack off in your training.” Ye Futian smiled as he spoke to them. After hearing what the master told him, it would seem that the world was more complicated than what he had imagined. Furthermore, with forces like the Dark Court being on the move, they may have to fight a war at a scale huge enough to engulf the entire Divine Prefecture.

The war of the Origin Realm might probably be only a trigger. There was no telling what would happen in the future, but it was extremely probable that the entire world would see massive changes. Everyone needed to be prepared, and if some massive change did happen, everyone needed to grow faster in order to take on what was to come in the future.

The battle in Four Corner Village rocked the entire Shangqing Domain. All the forces involved returned, and everything was unusually silent. No one brought up the sacred remains again, yet the cultivators of the Shangqing Domain all knew that after the battle, there was an invincible being in the Upper Nine Heavens of the Shangqing Domain that no one could afford to mess with.

It was said that the leader of the Nanhai Clan went into isolation to recuperate from his injuries as soon as he returned.

The Four Corner Continent had gotten even rowdier as more cultivators began to move in. At present, be it the powers at the very top, the number of very formidable ones, or those of later generations, the village was at the very peak of the Shangqing Domain’s standards. No one knew just how powerful the village would become in the future, and it was extremely possible that they would be the force that would reign supreme over the entire Shangqing Domain.

When the day came, Four Corner Continent would naturally be incredibly prosperous, and there was no way one would miss out on an opportunity like that.

However, none of that seemed to have anything to do with Ye Futian.

Ye Futian sat cross-legged under the ancient tree in the village. Xia Qingyuan was not far away, and the bird flew around lazily. The four little ones solemnly surrounded Ye Futian. The scene looked like some surreal drawing, looking very peaceful, serene, and beautiful.

His eyes were closed as he sat under the tree. The leaves and branches swayed as it shrouded him. Rumbles continued to be heard from within his body as he continued to clad in divine light.

Time passed, and the lot of them were completely steeped in their own training, shutting out the outside world entirely, elevating their powers quietly to stabilize their levels, and casting aside everything in the outside world. The way he saw it, only cultivation would prepare him for his return to Origin Realm.
