Chapter 1073 - The Princess is a Good Person

For the next little while, all the cultivators of Emperor Xia’s Realm were cultivating at and around this mountain range.

Seven days later, Ye Futian was sitting cross-legged upon a sacred mountain of space rule power that was full to overflowing with the brilliant light of space rule power. He had closed his eyes in order to enhance his perception, and many lines of will flowed around his body. They were without form and without shadow, and seemed difficult to even ascertain.

In the previous battle he had already nearly touched the edge of the Path. He had touched the Great Path rules in the truest sense. He knew that he had already entered the mysterious area between the Sage plane and the Saint plane.

Of course, there was a still a good bit of distance between his level and Wang Chuan’s level.

In the Life Palace within Ye Futian’s body there was a constant rustling sound. The World Tree life spirit was swaying.It was actually able to absorb will from space elements, making rays of the light of space rule power appear within his Life Palace.

This kind of mysterious plane made Ye Futian’s heart tremble slightly. He knew that his own life spirit was extraordinary. As he increased in level, his life spirit would reveal special powers to him from time to time.

When he had first set out on the path of cultivation, his original life spirit was able to harmoniously cooperate with and visualize the attainment of other life spirits, as well as absorb the ten thousand different spirits and auras of heaven and earth. No matter what kind of element the spirit or aura belonged to, he could sense it and then integrate it into his cultivation.

Now he understood will a little bit better and he could sense its presence. This life spirit could absorb it and integrate it into itself, letting it seep bit by bit into his Life Palace and at the same time washing his body.

The descendants of truly top-notch cultivators of great power’s life spirits could integrate their life spirits into their ancestors’ paths of cultivation.

What path was his World Tree life spirit integrated into?

And who’s path was it?

What kind of people had his ancestors been?

The light of space rule power flowed over the surface of his body. He opened his eyes and saw that not far in front of him there was a delicate figure walking towards him. There was a bright smile on her devestatingly beautiful face that was enough to make one’s heart beat faster. Her autumn-like eyes were as gentle as water. She looked at him with a grin.

“Goddess Yao Xi,” Ye Futian called out.

These days, the great army of Emperor Xia’s Realm was cultivating in this area. Even though the vast majority of them weren’t cultivating any abilities related to space elements, they could still feel the presence of will everywhere. This still made them able to easily grasp the power of the Great Path.

Yao Xi came over to where Ye Futian was seated and said, “I see will flowing all over you, Lord Ye. Have you already made to to the demi-Saint plane?”

“I’m still a step away. I just barely touched the edge of it,” said Ye Futian with a shake of his head.

“You have such outstanding talent, Lord Ye, and yet you are still so modest.” There was a warm smile in Yao Xi’s eyes all along, and her face was clear and bright.

The flow of will over his body clearly meant that he had already entered the demi-Saint level. How could he have just barely touched the edge of it? He was clearly being modest.

Seeing Yao Xi’s reaction, Ye Futian knew that she did not believe him. But his own cultivation was special. He naturally could not explain it easily, so he just smiled and shook his head. A misunderstanding was just a misunderstanding, after all.

In reality, even though he had not made it to the demi-Saint plane yet, there would be very few people who could resist him in terms of combat ability below the Saint plane.

Yao Xi stared at him when she saw his expression. His hair was white as snow, and his features were as sharp as a knife. He had an incredibly handsome face.

In the Battle of Empty Realm, he had had won the victory for Emperor Xia’s Realm nearly by his own strength. And he had kept everyone else in the dark, only letting Xia Qingyuan in on his plans.

In the final Battle of Empty Realm, he and Xia Qingyuan had fought side by side and slain Yuan Jin as he entered the Saint Plane. His halberd had pierced through the sky. It was absolutely outstanding.

She kept looking at him, as if she were being drawn to him. Her smile became even more mysterious.

Ye Futian saw Yao Xi’s smile. It was beautiful enough to make one’s heart say. Her bright and clear eyes seemed to not hide her admiration of him at all, which was even more confusing.

Of course, Ye Futian had never lacked for beautiful and talented women by his side. Jieyu, Glass Saint and Xia Qingyuan all were.

But in terms of charm, none of them could surpass Yao Xi. It was a charm that could leave one flustered. It could be inadvertently revealed with every frown and smile of hers.

“You truly fulfill every fantasy about what a woman might wish her partner to be, Lord Ye,” said Yao Xi with a smile. She didn’t wait for Ye Futian for an answer, but said, “Am I disturbing your cultivation?”

“It’s no problem .” Ye Futian shook his head.

When she heard his answer, Yao Xi’s smile grew even brighter. He had said that it was “no problem,” not “you are not disturbing me.” Did that mean that she was in fact disturbing him?

But Yao Xi did not care. She stretched lazily, suddenly outlining her perfect figure. Anyone without a firm will probably would have had trouble restraining themselves.

“You should attend to your cultivation, Lord Ye, no need to worry about me.” Yao Xi lay down on a rock behind him lazily, a mischievous light shining in her eyes.

Ye Futian smiled ruefully. It would probably be impossible for anyone to avoid having their heart moved by a woman like this. With her lying there, how could anyone cultivate peacefully?

In the past, Ye Futian might have flirted with her for a while, until it would not be clear who was teasing who.

But now he no longer had the same youthful vigor as before. He did not know if it was because of Jieyu, or because he had matured.

At that moment a figure came towards them through the sky. Her face was so beautiful it was almost shocking. It was Xia Qingyuan.

She looked at Ye Futian and Yao Xi lying behind him and smiled coldly.

“Greetings, Princess,” called Yao Xi with a smile.

Xia Qingyuan glanced at her and said coldly, “There is something I must discuss with Ye Futian. Why don’t you go on down?”

Yao Xi looked at Xia Qingyuan with a slight smile, then bowed and said, “Yes, Princess.”

On saying this she looked back at Ye Futian and grinned. “I must come another day to question you about the way of cultivation, Lord Ye.”

“Why would you need to come and question him about the way of cultivation of Yaotai Divine Palace?” said Xia Qingyuan coldly. “If you have nothing of importance to say then do not disturb his cultivation.”

Yao Xi looked at Xia Qingyuan, then smiled and rose up into the air to leave, her robes fluttering in the wind. It was truly a stunning sight.

“I like him!” came her voice from far way. This was naturally said to upset Xia Qingyuan.

Xia Qingyuan narrowed her eyes slightly. She was clearly a bit unhappy.

Then she looked at Ye Futian and said, “I see that you like to enjoy yourself while you cultivate.”

Ye Futian looked up at Xia Qingyuan and asked, “Is it Yao Xi that you have a problem with, or with me, Princess?”

“At the beginning you entered the Imperial Palace because of the news of your wife. This was not polite in the least,” answered Xia Qingyuan. She had finally spoken her opinion on the matter out loud.

She had called Ye Futian to the Upper Realms to cultivate because she had been informed of the news about his wife. He had come to the Imperial Palace to seek an audience with her and had made things difficult for her maid. This made her extremely unhappy, and even after seeing her his attitude was still cold.

But not long after that, he had spoken with Yao Xi on very intimate terms at the Xiao clan banquet.

Ye Futian naturally understood what Xia Qingyuan meant. Was she accusing him of something?

“There is no need to trouble yourself over my private affairs,” Ye Futian answered.

Xia Qingyuan stared at him coldly for a moment. Then she waved her hand and suddenly there was a storage ring floating in front of Ye Futian. She said, “These are the fragments of the Great Path that were unearthed over these past seven days.”

On saying this, she waved her hand again and turned, flying back up into the air to leave.

Ye Futian walked directly through the storage ring, and his spiritual will power entered into it. When he saw the number of fragments of the Great Path, he trembled inwardly.

Had they really unearthed this many fragments of the Great Path over the past seven days? If so, then it was quite obvious how many they must have unearthed over ten years.

Of course, Saint level figures using fragments of the Great Path to enhance their perception must have consumed a great number of said fragments as well.

Without the aid of fragments of the Great Path, one could only use one’s own power to gradually perceive the Great Path bit by bit.

A figured suddenly appeared in front of Ye Futian. It was actually Saint Xia. He had seen Princess Xia Qingyuan coming over earlier, and thus he had come as well.

At that moment his long beard blew in the wind. He pointed at Ye Futian, his disappointment at Ye Futian’s lack of progress and impatience for him to improve clear on his face.

“You…can’t you be a little warmer to the Princess?” Saint Xia really wanted to beat him, the scoundrel.

They had built a difficult friendship upon the filed of battle, and then Ye Futian had actually said to the Princess that she shouldn’t worry about his private affairs?

That was simply…

Did he not know how many people dreamed night and day of reaching the level of relationship he had with Princess Xia Qingyuan?

And perhaps they could get even closer?

He probably didn’t know how many people hated him and burned with jealousy towards him. The Princess had given him fragments of the Great Path, and had even personally given them to him.

She had been so good to him, and he had basically shooed her away.

Ye Futian smiled ruefully and shook his head when he saw Saint Xia’s expression. This old guy really still spent his days worrying about him.

“Elder, haven’t I said it before? The Princess is a good person, but her temper is ugly,” said Ye Futian.

“Could it be that you actually still want to change the Princess?” asked Saint Xia incredulously.

Ye Futian looked at him. He thought that if Xia Qingyuan was not so cold, and if she wore women’s clothing, she would definitely be much more charming.

Perhaps her charms would be no less than those of Yao Xi.

Thinking of this, Ye Futian nodded thoughtfully. “If I can change her, that would be better.”

“….”

Saint Xia left with a flick of his sleeves.

Incredible. Simply incredible.

Ye Futian smiled and shook his head. Saint Xia was still quite adorable.

“You can come out, everyone,” called Ye Futian. A line of figures suddenly flashed over towards him. They were the various Saint level figures of the Nine States: Douzhan, You Chi, Zhuge Qingfeng and the others were all there.

The people from the Nine States were all there cultivating, and so they had naturally heard everything that had gone on.

“So, have you elders all learned how to eavesdrop?” Ye Futian said incredulously. A group of Saint-level people had all been lying in hiding. This was really…

“The Palace Lord’s affairs are the affairs of everyone from the palace. We naturally had to pay attention to them,” said You Chi in dead seriousness. Ye Futian felt a burst of shame, and blushed.

“I think that what Saint Xia said was correct. I too think that the Princess is a good person, and you can get closer with her,” continued You Chi. If their relationship became closer, and if Ye Futian became the son-in-law of Emperor Xia, then wouldn’t the Upper and Lower Realms be going into the future walking hand in hand?

They did not need to speak of Ye Futian’s talent. With it he could sweep through anyone unhindered, and none could match him. Such talent would inevitable lead to his rise in the world. It was just like in the Battle of Empty Realm. Although the great army admired him greatly, there were certainly those who bore envy for him in their hearts.

If Ye Futian could have Princess Xia Qingyuan as a protective talisman, in the future he could truly do as he pleased and run rampant, and no one would dare to interfere with his plans!
