Chapter 2535: Start of the Four Palaces

Looking up at Ye Futian, who was bathing in star lights, they felt motivated by his speech.

The Ziwei Imperial Palace was turning into a domineering force.

Ye Futian looked at those powerful cultivators before he finished his speech. Then he added, “Besides, four palaces will be established under the leadership of the Ziwei Imperial Palace. Ziwei Palace, Heavenly Mandate Palace, and Wangshen Palace will be founded in addition to the Alchemy Pavilion, which already exists. Daoist Monk Mu will be in charge of the Alchemy Palace and aided by Alchemy Emperor and Goddess Donglai. Murong Yu will be in charge of the Ziwei Palace, aided by the elders of the Ziwei Imperial Palace. Emperor Xi will be in charge of the Wangshen Palace, aided by the Millet Emperor, Li Changsheng, and the Thunder Punishing Skylord.”

Lord Chen was titled the Supreme Elder. Each of the three powerful cultivators on the Tribulation Plane would lead a palace. So, what about the Heavenly Mandate?

The names of the four palaces were quite suggestive. It was not hard to infer what they meant. The Heavenly Mandate was supposed to refer to the force that had been following Ye Futian. So, who would be in charge of that force?

Would it be Ye Futian himself?

“The Heavenly Mandate Palace will be led by Hua Jieyu. Hua Qingqing and Zhuge Mingyue will be her assistants,” added Ye Futian. That appointment made everyone relieved. The wife of the palace lord was doubtless the perfect candidate to take over such a position. It was satisfying for everyone, and Ye Futian’s followers would be happy to listen to her orders, too.

Besides, Hua Jieyu was on the Tribulation Plane herself, and Hua Qingqing made fast progress. Rumor had it that she was reincarnated from a Buddhist lamp. Since she had realized the Way by then, she was already a powerful person. Zhuge Mingyue’s situation was different from both of theirs. Her cultivation level was not noteworthy, but her appointment was absolutely not because of her cultivation level. Instead, she got chosen for her wisdom. She would help Hua Jieyu manage things well. Moreover, due to her unusual relationship with Ye Futian and her special position, Ye Futian’s followers were not weird that she got appointed.

Ye Futian put the person closest to him, whom he valued the most, in the Heavenly Mandate Palace to lead it with the wife and the second eldest sister of the palace lord. Who would oppose that?

In fact, Gu Dongliu could do the same job. However, Zhuge Mingyue and Gu Dongliu were almost like the same person. If Zhuge Mingyue focused on management, Gu Dongliu would cultivate more concentratedly to improve his strength.

“At last, Uncle Tie, Old Ma, Fang Gai, and Chen Yi will form the Four Great Protectors of the Ziwei Imperial Palace, and they will report to me,” went on Ye Futian. That was the arrangement for the Four Corner Village. The four powerful Renhuang would take care of his things in person.

“Enlightened Master, what about us?” asked Little Ling. Ye Futian seemed to have forgotten about the younger ones.

“You will report to me, too, and you’ll be called the Four Junior Protectors,” said Ye Futian, laughing. The others laughed, too. In fact, after so many years, those four young men were already quite strong.

However, it was not time for them to make their debut in the world yet. They still had a long way to go, and that day would finally come.

Seeing all that, Lord Chen showed a smile. The Ziwei Imperial Palace had been growing since Ye Futian had taken it over, despite the various ordeals they had gone through. By then, they were already powerful enough to compete against world powers except for Emperor-level forces.

This arrangement was kind of perfect.

Among the four newly established palaces, the Alchemy Palace was an alchemy force that would have a big influence. The Ziwei Palace was the original force of the Ziwei Imperial Palace with a grand lineup. The Wangshen Palace was obviously named after Wangshen Watchtower. However, Ye Futian made Emperor Xi instead of the Millet Emperor lead it. And the latter and Li Changsheng would work as Emperor Xi’s assistants. The members of this force were all from the Divine Prefecture. Despite the few people they had compared to the other three palaces, many of them were elites. Besides, the Wangshen Palace would go on growing. At last, the Heavenly Mandate Palace led by Hua Jieyu used to be a force of the Original Realm. Its members were Ye Futian’s earliest followers.

With all of them, plus Four Corner Village, the Four Great Protectors, including Chen Yi, Ye Futian, and Lord Chen, this force had already taken shape.

“Now that there are plenty of powerful cultivators in the Ziwei Segmentum, it will be the Ziwei Palace’s job to recruit more top cultivators and talented people to cultivate,” said Ye Futian to Murong Yu.

“I see, Lord,” responded Murong Yu with a nod. He had never called anyone lord before.

He did not get full of himself after his strength improvement following the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path he had taken. Instead, he was showing more respect to Ye Futian. He knew although he had realized this breakthrough with his effort, the Sub-divine elixir Ye Futian had given him had been of great help.

Besides that, he sincerely felt Ye Futian would have a dreadfully promising future, and he saw a bright one of the Ziwei Imperial Palace, too. Therefore, he was looking forward to such it with a humble heart.

“The Wangshen Palace is short of staff at the moment. But if any Practitioners from the Outer Realms surrender to us, I will make them join it first. Emperor Xi, you can also recruit people by yourself,” said Ye Futian to Emperor Xi. The Wangshen Palace was short of staff, but they had two outstanding people, namely, Emperor Xi and the Millet Emperor, who had Wangshen Watchtower on his back. The latter’s combat power was as great as that of a strong cultivator on the Tribulation Plane.

“I see, Lord.” Emperor Xi nodded with a smile. He addressed Ye Futian as lord, too. He had just been dawdling in the Ziwei Imperial Palace, but from that moment on, he would need to work seriously. Since he got appointed as the lord of the palace, he naturally became Ye Futian’s subordinate, no matter who he had been.

Ye Futian nodded. Looking around at the powerful cultivators there, he said, “I will count on you, guys. The work can be hard. I hope we can stand at the top of the world of cultivation together someday to look down at the other influential people.”

Ye Futian’s modest language left some cultivators of the older generation very motivated. They felt as if they were still not too old yet.

Looking at the influential people in the future, would they be able to stand on the top of the world of cultivation to do that?

At least, Ye Futian had an excellent chance of achieving that.

“Next, you will put the four palaces in good order. The Alchemy Palace will allocate elixirs based on the quantity of the elixirs refined. Daoist Monk Mu will decide all of the details. If you want to refine elixirs, you can collect materials by yourselves and entrust the Alchemy Palace to refine for you. I will stay out of all this in the future,” said Ye Futian with a big smile. The establishment of the four palaces served the purpose of management. There were quite many cultivators in the Ziwei Imperial Palace. The Alchemy Palace could not provide them with endless elixirs.

To avoid internal problems, he had to make everything clear beforehand and make rules about it.

He told Old Ma, Blind Tie, and the other two to report to him and tilted them the “Four Great Protectors.” By doing that, he gave them the power to enforce laws in the future if anything of that type came up. Of course, if the Ziwei Imperial Palace kept growing, he certainly would have to establish new organizations again.

This was just an initial arrangement of the four palaces. Changes would be incorporated as time went by. In Ye Futian’s plan, the Heavenly Mandate Palace would eventually be led by his third eldest brother Gu Dongliu. Gu Dongliu was not powerful enough to convince people for the time being, so Jieyu would stay in charge on his behalf. When Gu Dongliu achieved the Tribulation Plane, it would be time for him to take over the palace.

“I will manage everything well, Lord.” Daoist Monk Mu nodded with a serious look. He knew what Ye Futian meant, and he certainly would do everything he could to bring things under control to avoid internal problems in the palace.

Ye Futian looked around at the crowd. So, what needed to be done had been done.

“Okay. Now go and get busy. There is somewhere I need to go,” said Ye Futian, looking at those people. Since the Ziwei Imperial Palace was already in order, he was going to pay the West Imperial Palace a visit.

Last time, he got away and left Xi Chiyao behind as soon as he got the inheritance of the celestial mountain.

But that thing had always been on his mind. He even set some of the refined elixirs aside to gift the West Imperial Palace.

Xi Chiyao invited him over last time, but he did not take a risk to go. However, it was different this time. He really thought he should go.

First of all, he needed to give the elixirs to them as a thank you gift.

Secondly, although the Ziwei Imperial Palace was powerful at the moment, it was still inferior to the Ancient God Clan, given the latter’s long history. Besides, there were also a few people below the Imperial Realm that were almost invincible. Fang Ru, whom he met earlier, was a good example. He was so dreadful that he dealt with the Battle Matrix of the Rocks alone.

Moreover, Ye Futian was known as the common enemy of the Divine Prefecture, so he really could use some friends.

The West Imperial Palace could be his future ally.

And since he would go with elixirs this time, he was sure the West Imperial Palace would not hurt him.

Who would hurt a top Alchemy Master that could refine Sub-divine elixirs?

More than that, this top Alchemy Palace would gift them more Sub-divine elixirs in the future.

Even if the West Imperial Palace did have some bad intentions, they absolutely would not kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

“I will go with you, Lord,” said Blind Tie.

“Well, it’s okay. It’s not for anything serious. I’m going there to give them a gift, and I’ll return once that is done. You can work on your strength at the same time. The lockdown will be lifted in the Ziwei Segmentum very soon,” said Ye Futian. The others nodded. The Ziwei Segmentum had been in lockdown for years. Was Ye Futian finally going to lift it?

Well, the right timing would come soon anyway.

“Okay.” Blind Tie nodded.

“See you.” Ye Futian disappeared into thin air as soon as he finished speaking. The Ziwei Imperial Palace could function smoothly without him since he had arranged everything well.

Canghuan Island was a very ancient island in the West Sea. It was where the West Imperial Palace, which had been existing since ancient times, was located.

The West Imperial Palace was in a coastal city called the West Imperial City on Canghuan Island. It was the most powerful and prosperous city in the West Sea Domain.

Of course, as a force of the Ancient God Clan, the interior of the West Imperial Palace was magnificent enough to be called a city.

According to some people, the entire West Imperial City was actually fortification for the West Imperial Palace and was under its rule.

It was not very peaceful lately in the West Imperial Palace. Rumor had it that several elders were not very happy with the Goddess Xi Chiyao and would depose her because they thought she was helping the outsiders and could not be responsible for the future West Imperial Palace.

The rumor could be dated back to several months ago when Xi Chiyao used the power of the West Imperial Palace to disclose the location marked on the Deity Map. She even located the Ancient imperial celestial mountain. However, she ordered the Practitioners of the West Imperial Palace to protect an outsider, as a result of which, that outsider took away the divine treasure of the Ancient Emperor.

Many big shots held her accountable for that after her return. They petitioned the palace lord to replace her.

Although the palace lord had not agreed, as an aftermath of that, the West Imperial Palace had been in chaos lately. Factional fights had been quite intense. Some people wanted to help other big shots to become the new successor.

However, Xi Chiyao had never responded to such accusations. She had been cultivating in seclusion, ignoring the chaos in the outside world, as if she was not worried about her position at all!
