The cultivators looked at Ye Futian and Xi Chiyao. Now, the two of them were basically in sync.
Was the West Imperial Palace planning to lay its hands on the cultivation resources that Ye Futian possessed? They actually did not hesitate to allow Xi Chiyao to join the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate and seduce Ye Futian. With the peerless elegance of Goddess Chiyao, even Ye Futian would have difficulty resisting her charms.
They might even become a couple.
Would the members of the West Imperial Palace be willing to marry off their future top figure?
Was Ye Futian worthy of them doing so?
If they set aside their statuses, the two of them were quite a match. Both of them were peerless figures. It was just that Ye Futian’s origins were not very clear. Now, everyone was speculating over it. However, Xi Chiyao was the true descendant of a Great Emperor. She was the descendant of the West Emperor and the strongest person to awaken to the power of his bloodline. She was the first to do so in a thousand years. With such status and exceptional talent, even as the College Chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Ye Futian was far from worthy of her hand.
“From the looks of it, Renhuang Ye is looking down on the other forces of the Divine Prefecture,” someone said in a provocative tone.
The person continued, “You allied yourself with the Lost Clan and allowed Goddess Chiyao of the West Imperial Palace to join the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate. However, you seem unwilling to do the same with the other forces of the Divine Prefecture. It appears that Renhuang Ye has not let go of the incident with the Lost Clan.”
“Why do you say so? I have said that as long as you are willing, the Heavenly Mandate Academy will ally with the various forces of the Divine Prefecture and exchange cultivation resources,” replied Ye Futian in a casual tone. He was not angered. He naturally understood that the members of the Divine Prefecture were intentionally provoking him and wanted to stir up conflict.
“Alright. Our Infinite Mountains is willing to offer up cultivation resources for exchange and form an alliance with the Heavenly Mandate Academy,” a cultivator said. He was from the strongest force of the Boundless Domain, Infinite Mountains. They had inherited the teachings of an ancient Great Emperor figure. Now, they had taken the initiative to ally with the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy frowned. They were doubtful of the sincerity of the other party. Would the cultivators from the Boundless Domain really be willing to share their top cultivation resources with them?
The cultivators from the Boundless Domain most likely intended to share some cultivation techniques perfunctorily in exchange for the cultivation resources in the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Renhuang Chen took a step forward and replied, “Of course, there’s no problem. However, I need to first examine what kind of resources you are willing to share. Based on that, the Heavenly Mandate Academy will decide what level of cultivation resources we will exchange.” It would not be easy for the other party to ally with the Heavenly Mandate Academy. If the other party only coveted their cultivation resources, they would not agree to their request.
“From the looks of it, the Heavenly Mandate Academy still does not trust the forces from the Divine Prefecture. The so-called alliance is only lip service. In reality, you have no intention of joining forces with us,” snorted the cultivator from Infinite Mountains. He added, “Looks like the West Imperial Palace is more capable in persuasion.”
“What do you mean by that?” questioned a cultivator from the West Imperial Palace coldly. He gave the cultivator from Infinite Mountains a displeased glance. The latter paid no heed to it and merely smiled. A youth then emerged from the group of cultivators from Infinite Mountains. The youth was surrounded by the divine halo of the Great Path. The brilliant glory which surrounded him seemed to be a natural glimmer and not something he intentionally unleashed. It was as though he was born with a divine body and was destined to be exceptional.
With a glance, the cultivators from the West Imperial Palace recognized the youth. He was the most talented figure among this generation of cultivators from Infinite Mountains. He was the Divine Child of Infinite Mountains and similarly the heir of a Great Emperor. He was powerful and was crowned Boundless Divine Child.
Boundless Divine Child stepped forward as he looked at Ye Futian and Xi Chiyao. He said, “I have long heard of the fame of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Since Goddess Chiyao is willing to enter the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate, I also want to cultivate in the academy for a period of time. Will Renhuang Ye allow my sudden request?”
Boundless Divine Child continued, “Of course, I only ask Renhuang Ye to treat all of us equally. I am not interested in the cultivation resources of the Heavenly Mandate Academy.”
As soon as he said this, another person emerged from the crowd and said, “I also want to cultivate in the Heavenly Mandate Academy for a period of time. Will Renhuang Ye allow it?”
This person was the Divine Child of the Vajra Region. Golden light circled around his entire body. He appeared to have a golden divine body. It looked extremely powerful.
Then, one by one, others expressed their intentions of joining the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate. This caused the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Academy to reveal strange looks. The Heavenly Mandate Academy was not some holy land. They might be considered the number one cultivation ground in the Original Realm, but these people were from the Ancient God Clan. Did they need to do so?
Clearly, they had no intention of joining the Heavenly Mandate Academy for real. For them, the only value that the Heavenly Mandate Academy offered was the starry cultivation court as well as the teachings inherited from the Great Emperors that Ye Futian mastered.
Or perhaps, these forces from the Divine Prefecture only wanted to pressure the Heavenly Mandate Academy and force Ye Futian to yield. They wanted the Heavenly Mandate Academy to compromise and share all their cultivation resources with all.
Otherwise, why would they lower their statuses to cultivate in the Heavenly Mandate Academy?
Deep down, these cultivators from the Ancient God Clan most likely looked down upon the Heavenly Mandate Academy, which was a local force of the Original Realm.
Moreover, during their battle with the Lost Clan, Ye Futian offended quite a few factions of the Ancient God Clan. After all, Ye Futian once collaborated with the Ancient God Clan to break through the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. These factions assumed that Ye Futian did not give his best during the battle, leading to their failure to break through the matrix. Otherwise, they would have entered into the secret zone of the Lost Clan then.
Ye Futian himself forged an alliance with the Lost Clan and had access to their cultivation resources. He then attracted Goddess Chiyao from the West Imperial Palace to join him to cultivate in the Heavenly Mandate Academy. In the future, Ye Futian might draw the rest of the forces in the West Sea Domain to form an alliance with him. His academy would further expand its influence.
This caused the Ancient God Clan from the Divine Prefecture to be irritated. Moreover, they were also interested in unveiling the secrets behind Ye Futian’s identity. Hence, they were intentionally suppressing Ye Futian now.
Ye Futian saw various figures standing in different locations in the sky. Each and every one of them were outstanding cultivators. The cultivator from the Haotian Clan was among them too. Ye Futian even spotted Hua Junlai in the crowd. Judging from their auras and the divine light of the Great Path which surrounded their bodies, they had no intention of forging an alliance with him. They were clearly here to force him and the Heavenly Mandate Academy to yield to their demands.
The other forces of the Divine Prefecture stood further behind. They did not declare their stance. However, they most likely wanted a slice of the pie and were waiting for Ye Futian to compromise.
Xi Chiyao gazed up at the silhouettes in the sky. Each one of these figures were extraordinary. There were eighth-tier and ninth-tier Renhuangs. Many of them were renowned figures in their respective domain in the 18 domains of the Divine Prefecture.
Now, they were all standing in the sky and pressuring Ye Futian. They claimed to want to form an alliance, but they were pressuring him to yield in reality.
However, this was unrelated to her. Although she said she wanted to join the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate, that did not mean that she would join Ye Futian in going against the various forces of the Divine Prefecture. She wanted to see how Ye Futian would resolve his situation.
That day, in the region of the Lost Clan, it was Princess Donghuang descending upon the region that had resolved the crisis faced by the Lost Clan and allowed Ye Futian to escape his predicament. However, the forces of the Divine Prefecture clearly were not willing to let him go. Now, they had descended upon the Heavenly Mandate Academy simultaneously. The alliance between Ye Futian and the Lost Clan had clearly made the various forces upset!
