Chapter 1663 Accepting A Disciple For His Master
The movement within Ye Futian’s pavilion once again invited the attention of several people. This was also the reason Ye Futian chose to cultivate outside and not within Tianshen Academy.
He was afraid that he would attract the attention of too many notable figures if he cultivated in Tianshen Academy. Even though he also could not hide it outside, he would attract the attention of relatively fewer people.
His cultivation this time lasted several days. The Swordmaster of Lihen and Yaya were outside the Sealed Land. The Swordmaster of Lihen had his guesses when he saw the movement within the pavilion. He thought about the conversation he had with Ye Futian a few days ago. Could he be…
There was a ripple in his heart. What would it mean if things were as he had guessed?
“Void, you’re about to prove your path soon, right?” the Swordmaster of Lihen said to Yaya, who was by his side. Ye Futian had given her the Item of the Great Emperor. She should be about to prove her path after she cultivated under the willow tree in God’s Relic. She should not be too far away from proving her path, now that she had come out and cultivated for some time.
“Yes.” Yaya nodded.
The Swordmaster of Lihen smiled. He was certain that Yaya would forge a perfect Divine Wheel. Ye Futian had even given her the Item of the Great Emperor. He would definitely do all he could to make sure that Yaya forged a perfect Divine Wheel. If his guess was right, he had only coincidentally encountered Dou Zhao. Ye Futian was using him to confirm his conjecture.
“What are you smiling about?” Yaya asked the Swordmaster of Lihen.
“Nothing.” The Swordmaster of Liben shook his head. He thought about the years when he and the Sword Saint of the Void followed by the side of Emperor Xia. They were the two most powerful swordsmen in Emperor Xia’s Realm.
Now, they were cultivating by Ye Futian’s side and were about to forge a perfect Divine Wheel.
All of these events were rather interesting.
At this moment, Ye Futian was sitting silently within the independent Sealed Land. There was a terrifying aura emanating from Dou Zhao’s body. The figure of an immensely radiant War God was faintly visible from within his body. It released a terrifying battle intent that enveloped the entire space. It caused the Great Path space to be covered in a horrifying battle aura.
Rumble… The Great Path rumbled. Dou Zhao opened his eyes and raised his fists. He then clenched his fists and was suddenly filled with extremely wild power. His entire aura changed. When he stood up, it felt as though he was the War God reborn.
“I’ve succeeded.” Dou Zhao’s voice was a little excited. He had missed his opportunity to prove his path at the God’s Relic. However, he had succeeded in the outside world.
“You’ve succeeded.” Ye Futian also smiled. He had received a confirmation for his conjecture.
If that was the case, it meant that his path was unique and could assist others in forging a perfect Divine Wheel.
That way, everyone around him would have a chance.
Ye Futian knew exactly how meaningful that was.
“Yes.” Dou Zhao nodded forcefully. Even though he was a careless person, he was extremely serious when it came to cultivation. Furthermore, he was carrying a mission. He was the future successor of the Dou tribe. If he were to fall behind the successors of the other factions, the Dou tribe would definitely be weakened in the future.
It was not hard to imagine the feelings he had when he took this step forward.
This person hid the fact that he had obtained the legacy of the Great Emperor, Dou Zhao thought.
Dou Zhao had a glimmer in his eyes as he looked at Ye Futian.
“Elder Brother…”
Ye Futian looked at Dou Zhao’s shimmering eyes and was utterly confused. Who was his elder brother? he thought. We were siblings before, but now I’ve become his elder brother?
“The greatest thing that I, a descendant of the War God, obtained at the God’s Relic was getting to know you,” Dou Zhao said sincerely.
Scram… Ye Futian thought. All he felt was goosebumps all over his body.
“But, as I have said previously, you’ve cultivated the Deed of Thorough Comprehension. Whether you use it or not in the future, you are considered half a member of the Sky River Temple,” Ye Futian said.
“Your disciple pays respects to you, Master,” Dou Zhao bowed and greeted.
Ye Futian’s expression darkened. This person sure has thick skin! he thought.
“I’m not that old.” Ye Futian stared at Dou Zhao. This person should not be younger than me, he thought.
“Why don’t I call you my senior?” Dou Zhao continued. He had to solidify their connection, be it in terms of “Brother” or “Senior.” Only that way would he have a status and a stake in any future benefits.
“Have you trained under any master?” Ye Futian asked.
“No, I was trained by my family,” Dou Zhao replied.
“Alright, I’ll take you in as a disciple under the name of my master. You shall become my junior. What do you think about that?” Ye Futian said.
“Greetings, senior.” Dou Zhao brought his hands together and instantly got into the rhythm of things.
“Eh.” Ye Futian did not say anything.
Teacher is currently trapped by the Shen clan. I’ll first accept a disciple for him, he thought.
“The successor of the Dou clan should be rather substantial.
“Also, do not reveal the level of your cultivation when you go out in the future. Leave this place secretly. Don’t attract any attention. Treat whatever happened here today as if it never happened,” Ye Futian instructed.
“Understood.” Dou Zhao looked at Ye Futian.
He knew that Ye Futian had obtained the greatest legacy of the Great Emperor. He should never reveal that.
Ye Futian looked at the sky. The space instantly scattered. An unparalleled amount of will penetrated Ye Futian’s body. This caused Dou Zhao to have a strange expression. He asked, “This is also a Divine Wheel?”
“Go,” Ye Futian told Dou Zhao.
“Alright.” Dou Zhao did not probe any further and immediately turned to leave.
“Swordmaster, Yaya,” Ye Futian shouted. The two of them walked over.
“How did it go?” the Swordmaster of Lihen asked.
“It was a success.” Ye Futian nodded. The Swordmaster of Lihen inhaled deeply, then finally flashed a smile.
If he was given time, the youth before his eyes could transform into a top-notch figure. He might be able to become the greatest faction within the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path.
“Do you want to set up a clan?” the Swordmaster of Lihen asked.
Ye Futian shook his head. He was the disciple of the Cottage, as well as the disciple of Qi Xuangang. There was no need for him to set up a clan.
“Yaya, I’ll teach you a set of cultivation techniques. Come look for me when you are gunning for the Renhuang Realm,” Ye Futian said.
Even though Yaya had a divine item, there was a greater chance of her forging a perfect Divine Wheel if she had his help.
“Mm.” Yaya gently nodded.
“Boss.” A voice rang out in Ye Futian’s brain. It was the voice of Little Condor.
“What is it?” Ye Futian asked.
“Two clan leaders are here,” Little Condor replied. Ye Futian froze, then scanned through the pavilion with his divine spirit. At that instant, a mob of happiness flashed past his eyes.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Futian’s figure shimmered as he arrived outside the pavilion. In front of him were two dusty figures. They seemed to be hiding their aura and were acting in an incredibly ordinary manner. They were unremarkable. It was no wonder that he had not noticed them when he was chatting with the Swordmaster just now.
“Seniors.” Ye Futian let out a radiant smile when his eyes met theirs. He was elated to be able to meet the two of them here.
Jiang Chengzi—the clan leader of the Jiang clan from the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven—as well as the clan leader of the Hua clan—Hua Jiangshan.
The two of them were also smiling.
“You’ve reached Renhuang.”
“Yes.” Ye Futian smiled as he nodded, “Let’s go. Let’s talk inside.”
He reached out and pointed the way as he spoke. They walked into the pavilion.
“Have the two of you always been in the Heavenly Mandate Realm?” Ye Futian asked.
“Yes.” Jiang Chengzi nodded. “Since they caused the Celestial Gate to topple, how could we allow them to roam free? We even went to the Violet Heavenly Palace when the God’s Relic opened some time ago. We then decided to temporarily pause whatever we were doing at the Heavenly Mandate Realm and came here after we heard about what happened to you. We thought that the people from the Celestial Gate of the Nine Realms would continuously swarm into the Central Emperor Realm when they heard your name and that this might be a good opportunity to join up with you.”
“I was thinking that too.” Ye Futian nodded. Since these two clan leaders had such a thought, the others would also think this way when they heard his name.
‘There’s one more thing.” Jiang Chengzi’s expression became more serious, “You’ve joined forces with the Purple Gold Rat clan?”
In the battle back then, the clan leader of the Wang clan had died in battle after being ambushed by the Purple Gold Rat Emperor and the Emperor of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty. There was no way that this debt could be resolved peacefully. Otherwise, they would be letting down the Wang clan, which had fought for the Celestial Gate when the Celestial Gate was facing its crisis.
“Don’t worry, I am not that impudent,” Ye Futian said. “I am merely making use of them.”
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief. Even though they had ascertained Ye Futian’s character from several past incidents, the rumors had been relentless. In fact, the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty was about to engage in battle with the Purple Golden Rat clan. They felt more at ease now that they heard that Ye Futian was merely using them for his own benefit.
“Please follow me,” Ye Futian said. The group arrived at the cultivation ground. Ye Futian summoned the Spatial Sacred Hall from out of thin air and waved his palms at the same time. An array of radiant divine arms instantly floated within the Spatial Sacred Hall.
“This was everything I obtained from the God’s Relic. Please pick whatever weapons you need. They might prove useful in the future battle,” Ye Futian said. All of the divine arms here were powerful divine weapons in the ancient era. The collection of the Great Emperor might be the best of the best.
The abilities of the two clan leaders paled in comparison to the Emperor of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty. However, they might stand a fighting chance if they had the power of the divine arms on their side.
The battle was inevitable if the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven was to regain its standing in the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
What they were doing now was to prepare for that battle.
“Alright.” The two of them did not hold back. They sensed the assortment of weapons and chose a weapon that was suitable for them.
“Seniors, I have no use for these many ritual implements. Equip the offensive and defensive ritual implements, and perhaps not long after, we will be able to attack the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty,” Ye Futian said. The two of them turned around and looked at Ye Futian.
“In the God’s Relic, I’ve joined forces with the other factions in the Heavenly Mandate Realm. We are on rather decent terms. I’ll find a way to continue solidifying our relationship. This battle will not be too far away,” Ye Futian continued. With their previous alliance, as well as the ritual implements he had given them previously, Ye Futian believed that he now had a considerable influence over the factions of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
Now that he had grasped the method of forging a perfect Divine Wheel, there was a chance that he would be able to pull the factions of the Heavenly Mandate Realm into his camp.
This was what he had to accomplish next.
Jiang Chengzi and Hua Qingyun looked at each other. Each chose a ritual implement.
“One for offense and one for defense. That’s enough,” Jiang Chengzi said, “Ye Futian, we’ll stay by your side after this. You’ve come into conflict with several factions in the Central Emperor Realm and the God’s Relic. You need people by your side.”
“If that is so, thank you, seniors.” Ye Futian nodded. He chose the Tianshen Academy precisely because it was relatively safer.
With the two clan leaders defending him by his side, he should be able to deal with anybody attacking him even if they were from top-notch factions, as long as they weren’t the best of the best!
