Chapter 2277: Undercurrent
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After Ye Futian issued the order, the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy went to various main realms in the Supreme Realms to spread the news. One of the realms was the Crimson Dragon Realm, where Ye Futian had cultivated before.
On top of that, some cultivators began the construction of the teleportation grand matrices. The matrices would connect various main realms with the Nine Realms as the center. Then, more matrices would be built to connect the main realms with the smaller realms. With this, the academy could gradually expand its influence to the entire 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. Moreover, the matrices could monitor the activities that occurred in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path.
Before Ye Futian, no one had managed such a feat before. The Nine Supreme Imperial Realms were the Upper Worlds, and their superiority was unfathomable. Everyone in the Lower Worlds yearned to explore the Nine Realms. Unfortunately, various forces in the Nine Realms had always contended with one another, and they had never achieved unity before. In the past, let alone unity across all Nine Realms, even forces that coexisted in the same realm were frequently fighting for dominance.
However, the old era had ended. Ye Futian and the Heavenly Mandate Academy had kicked off a new era—an era where they ruled the Nine Realms. This was why they could rule the entire 3,000 Realms of the Great Path.
Of course, they were not doing this for authority and control. For the strongest force, this was not very significant. Everyone knew that Ye Futian did so due to his attachment to the Original Realm. He did not wish for it to be invaded and destroyed.
After the crisis, the lands of the Original Realm seemed to have calmed down. Be it the cultivators from the Dark World, the Empty Divine Realm, or the Divine Prefecture, they all kept a low profile.
Before this, they could rampage around the Original Realm and could be seen all over the Nine Supreme Realms. However, a superpower had formed in the Original Realm. No force dared to act recklessly now.
Right now, Ye Futian was cultivating in the starry cultivation court of the Ziwei Segmentum. It was not just him; many people were cultivating there. The Ziwei Segmentum and the Heavenly Mandate Academy were connected. They could travel back and forth between the two realms at any time. This place was undoubtedly the most suitable holy land for cultivation. Hence, for the time being, they were all cultivating here.
Right now, in the vast starry sky, the sound of guqin filled the space. The sounds of the guqin were solemn and sonorous. Ye Futian was actually bathed in the divine halo of the Imperial Stars as he played. It was an almost dream-like scene.
Beside him, Luo Su quietly listened to Ye Futian playing. As she was also an inheritor of the Divine Melody, Luo Su felt that Ye Futian infused more emotion than she did when he played. Even though this was a powerful and sonorous tune, it seemed to contain a heavy sense of longing.
She believed that Ye Futian was certainly a person who had a lot of stories to tell.
Ye Futian had now become the ruler of the Original Realm. He was just a seventh-tier high-level Renhuang, yet he could already command the various top figures to fight for him. What sort of treatment was this? Even the Proud Sons and Vice Chiefs of superpowers of the Divine Prefecture did not have such rallying power.
Who was Ye Futian, the person who ruled over the Original Realm, thinking about?
At that moment, from down below, a person came towards them. When he arrived, he cast a glance at Ye Futian and then at the group of cultivators beside him.
“What is the matter?” asked Gu Dongliu, who had just finished cultivating, when he saw the person arrive.
“I bring news from the Original Realm,” replied the person. “In one of the realms, a force from the Dark World is causing trouble. This force is mighty. Even the cultivators that we sent out have not returned. This might need to be reported to the College Chief for him to handle.”
“Alright, you may leave first,” replied Gu Dongliu as he nodded his head slightly. The person immediately left. Gu Dongliu headed up into the sky and walked up beside Ye Futian.
“Younger Brother,” called out Gu Dongliu. Ye Futian immediately stopped playing and asked with a smile, “Third Brother, what is the matter?”
“There is news from the Heavenly Mandate Academy. A force from the Dark World is causing trouble in a Lower World of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. This force most likely has powerful backing,” said Gu Dongliu. Ye Futian frowned. He already ruled over the Nine Realms. It was impossible for the cultivators of the Dark World not to know about this.
That could only mean that the other party was not afraid of this fact.
“It seems that this force has powerful backing,” commented Ye Futian.
“Hmm,” responded Gu Dongliu as he nodded his head. “If the force were easy to deal with, Lord Taixuan and the others in the academy would have already ordered people to handle it. However, since they sent someone to inform you, the force might have a cultivator who has survived a divine tribulation and is not easy to deal with. We might need Renhuang Chen to hold the fort.”
Gu Dongliu clearly understood Lord Taixuan’s intentions. If they could have handled it themselves, they would not have disturbed Ye Futian while he was cultivating.
“Understood.” Ye Futian nodded and said, “Third Brother, please continue to cultivate here. After that, I will head out.”
Right now, for Gu Dongliu and the others, cultivating was the most important issue at hand. In this current chaotic era, their abilities and cultivation Planes were still lacking. They needed time to improve. Even if they went to the Lower Worlds, they would not be of much help.
“Alright,” replied Gu Dongliu as he nodded his head. He then saw Ye Futian walk away. When they saw him leaving, some people followed behind him and left the space. Ye Futian found Renhuang Chen, and they headed over to the Heavenly Mandate Academy through the teleportation grand matrix.
In the academy, Ye Futian met with Lord Taixuan and the others. He asked, “Lord Taixuan, how is the situation overall?”
“These past few days, although the Original Realm appears peaceful, in reality, an undercurrent is surging. Cultivators from the Dark World and the Empty Divine Realm have gradually arrived in the Original Realm. It might be that they are acting in the same manner as the forces of the Divine Prefecture. They are channeling more forces into the Original Realm. Thus, the current situation might be even more complicated than before. However, they might still be acting cautiously, as they had yet to go overboard in the Nine Realms for now.”
Lord Taixuan continued, “However, in the Lower Worlds, there are forces which have begun to act.”
“What value do the Lower Worlds hold for them?” asked Ye Futian incredulously. Although the Original Realm had undergone some changes, the value of the Lower Worlds was still relatively small, especially for the superpowers.
“We are not sure. However, it seems that it is related to cultivating. Many people have already lost their lives,” said Lord Taixuan. “This force is somewhat sinister. They will probably be hard to deal with.”
“Understood,” replied Ye Futian as he nodded his head. “Where are they now?”
Since he had already given the command to protect the Original Realm, he would kill anyone who acted against it. This was the first force that acted against it since he made the announcement. If he did not deal with them, his previous promise would ring hollow, and other forces would most likely follow suit.
Right now, other forces were probably observing from the shadows.
“They were last seen in the Crimson Dragon Realm. They have already traveled through quite many realms. As for where they are now, we will need to investigate once we arrive in the Crimson Dragon Region,” explained Lord Taixuan.
“Alright,” said Ye Futian with a cold and indifferent look in his eyes. The Crimson Dragon Region’s main realm was the Crimson Dragon Realm. He had previously cultivated there. Emperor Xia’s Realm was also in the Crimson Dragon Region.
As Ye Futian said this, his group immediately departed and headed towards the Crimson Dragon Realm through the teleportation grand matrix!
