Zhuge Mingyue, Hua Fengliu, Qi Xuangang, and the others were, naturally, extremely happy upon seeing Ye Futian return. Bright smiles could be seen on each of their faces.

Before Ye Futian left, he had told these close friends and family that he would not die. However, everyone who had witnessed that last battle could not help but feel a little worried, particularly after 20 years without any news. How could they not worry after that?

Now that they saw him return, the huge burden in their hearts could finally be released.

“Younger brother, you have become even more handsome now.” Zhuge Mingyue walked over beside Ye Futian. She sized him up from top to bottom as if she was afraid that a piece of Ye Futian’s had gone missing. The Ye Futian who left for 20 years had matured quite a bit. His aura had become even more exceptional. Before Ye Futian left, he had already reached the cultivation level of a Renhuang. Now, he was most certainly a lot stronger. His cultivation level was most likely the same as a big shot now. So, naturally, his aura was outstanding.

“Elder Sister is also more and more beautiful.” Ye Futian smiled brightly. In front of his second sister, he still maintained some of the youthful disposition back then.

“How have you been all these years?” Zhuge Mingyue asked Ye Futian while looking at him. After 20 years outside, he had come back with so many amazing and powerful practitioners with him. He must have experienced and gone through a lot.

“I’m just like this. Don’t worry about me, elder sister. I want to know what happened to the Heavenly Mandate Academy all these years. Also, how are our old friends?” Ye Futian asked. This was the thing that he most wanted to know.

After hearing Ye Futian’s words, everyone became quiet. After a moment of silence, Qi Xuangang said, “Let’s take a seat and talk.”

“Yeah, let’s wash off the dust of travel and properly welcome younger brother back first.” Zhuge Mingyue nodded and smiled gently. After that, she instructed others to make preparations.

“Lord.” Ye Futian looked at Lord Taixuan.

“You guys go ahead. I’ve grown old and enjoy the quiet. I won’t disturb you young ones in your conversation,” Lord Taixuan replied with a gentle smile.

Ye Futian was stunned. Then, from the side, Sky River Great Elder also said, “Go ahead, Luo Xue and I will stay here to accompany him.”

“Then, I will also stay to accompany Grandpa Xuan,” Hua Nianyu said gently.

“Aren’t you always missing your brother-in-law? Now that your brother-in-law is back, why are you accompanying me? Go, accompany your brother-in-law and have a chat,” said Lord Taixuan with a gentle smile.

“Oh,” replied Hua Nianyu. Ye Futian looked at Lord Taixuan and did not say much. Then, he said, “Alright then. Grandmaster, please do take care of Lord Taixuan.”

“Of course,” said Sky River Great Elder while nodding.

Ye Futian’s group left the place. He had many questions, in particular, questions related to Lord Taixuan’s injuries. However, Lord Taixuan did not want to tell him about it. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to ask about it while avoiding Lord Taixuan.

Ye Futian’s return caused the Heavenly Mandate Academy to become extremely lively. Every practitioner in the academy talked about his return. They wondered what Ye Futian’s cultivation level was, as well as who those people who came with him were.

However, they also knew that Ye Futian wanted to hang out with his close friends and family, so naturally, no one dared to disturb him.

Inside the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Ye Futian gathered and chatted with his close ones for a long time as if they had endless things to talk about. After so many years, he had missed so many people, and even though Yu Sheng and the others were not around, the people around him were also his family. He wanted to speak to each of them and ask them how they had been doing.

Old Ma and the people from Four Corner Village sat quietly on the side. The people from the ancient royal family of Duan naturally did not disturb Ye Futian’s gathering with his family. Moreover, at that moment, Duan Tianxiong was a little shocked. Naturally, he was able to see Ye Futian’s status in the academy. He understood quickly after a simple scan using his divine consciousness.

It was as if Ye Futian was the soul of the entire academy. What shocked him even more was that several mighty big shots were in the tiny academy in this Lower World. Apart from the earlier Lord Taixuan and Sky River Great Elder, there were still others inside the academy.

That showed Ye Futian’s standing in the Lower Worlds.

However, it was not entirely surprising. Ye Futian was so exceptionally talented. It was inevitable that he would be such a famous, monster-like existence in this Lower World.

Just as they were casually chatting, a frightening aura spread to their location from afar. Ye Futian looked towards the source and sensed a group of powerful cultivators heading towards them. A frightening demonic aura shrouded their surroundings.

“What’s going on?” Ye Futian’s pupils shrank. He stood up and, with a flash, appeared in the sky. He then saw many other familiar people there.

“The major clans of the Demon Realm, the cultivators of the Sky Demon Court, the Divine Dragon, and the Divine Elephant clans had arrived. Apart from that, the group leader was the sovereign of the Nantian Divine Kingdom, Emperor Nan.

Emperor Nan looked just as elegant as ever. However, the conditions of the demonic clans were not as great. Many of the top demonic clan cultivators had blood stains on their bodies. The Divine Elephant Emperor’s large and muscular body was covered in bloodstains.

“What happened?” Ye Futian’s heart trembled.

At the same time, when Emperor Nan and the others also saw Ye Futian and his group, they seemed perplexed. In particular, the cultivators of the major demonic clans. Their eyes opened wide and stared after they saw Ye Futian standing there.

“You’re back.” Emperor Nan was the first to regain his senses. A gentle smile appeared in his eyes.

After 20 years of not seeing each other, the number one prodigy of the Original Realm had finally come back.

“Elder Emperor Nan.” Ye Futian bowed slightly. After that, he looked at the elders from the demonic clans and asked, “What is going on here?”

Clearly, Ye Futian had just returned and still had no idea what was going on.

“Come down first, then we’ll speak,” Qi Xuangang said. Ye Futian nodded. Then, the group descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

At that moment, Ye Futian’s head was filled with questions. He moved and left the main seat to Emperor Nan.

Emperor Nan was the strongest person in their alliance. Moreover, he was considered kind to them and had constantly helped them fight in the past.

“The Original Realm has changed a lot. You should already know this, right?” Emperor Nan asked Ye Futian.

Ye Futian nodded slightly. “Yes, I’ve heard. But I do not know the details.”

“Now, inside the Original Realm, cultivators from the outside fill the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. In particular, the Nine Supreme Regions. The Heavenly Mandate Realm is also not an exception. Many practitioners from various factions have come to these places. Now, the Demon Realm has been occupied by the cultivators of the Dark Demon Clan. I went there earlier and brought them back to the academy,” said Emperor Nan.

The leaders of the main demon clans lowered their heads. They felt rather ashamed.

“Based in the Demon Realm, we never would have thought that we’d one day be exiled from there. Initially, we were unwilling to go, but there is no denying that we are weaker than them. So, we can only accept it as it is. In truth, we had already moved out before. But we still have not given up. This time, Emperor Nan went with us to the Demon Realm and helped us get some of our clansmen over,” said the Divine Elephant Emperor in his deep voice tinged with a slight sense of decadence.

“The Dark Demon Clan has powerful characters. Losing to them is natural. Nowadays, it is not only the Demon Realm. Even other places, including the Heavenly Mandate Realm, 10,000 Divine Mountain, the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, are considering moving to the Heavenly Mandate Academy. By gathering together, our strength will also increase. Even though factions have their own respective teleportation grand matrixes, the world is too chaotic nowadays. No one knows if they should hang on or give up.” Emperor Nan said, “You came back at just the right time.”

“What’s up with Lord Taixuan’s injuries? Also, what happened to the Xiao clan, Dou tribe, Yuanyang Clan, and the Clan of the Seven Slayers?” Ye Futian asked.

“Not great. After external forces entered the Original Realm and started occupying the Nine Realms, many factions from the Divine Prefecture also came. I’m sure you remember the battle from 20 years ago. Even though those factions did not dare to touch us easily because of Princess Donghuang’s orders, as the world changes and with more powerful cultivators arriving from other realms, some of the factions have had reinforcements through clansmen from outer realms. Now, they are raring to go again. In addition, the Shen clan in the Upper Worlds also sent cultivators here to join forces with the Tianshen Academy and the Martial God Clan to pressure the Xiao and Yuanyang clans. It is also the same for the Dou tribe in the Ziwei Realm.”

Emperor Nan explained slowly, “As for Lord Taixuan’s injury, it happened in the Heavenly Mandate Realm. Now that multiple realms in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path have already been destroyed, even Hidden Land Realms have become fertilizers for the dark forces. The Solar and Shadow realms are no longer great places for cultivation like in the past. Now, some of the forces and factions have their eyes on the Heavenly Mandate Realm. The first one on their sight was the Demon Realm. They have already begun wreaking havoc and causing destruction. Apart from that, the Heavenly Mandate Academy has also become a target. Some of these factions believe that the Heavenly Mandate city is the entrance to the Heavenly Mandate Realm.”

Ye Futian’s pupils shrunk. He had experienced the incidents back in the Shadow Realm in the past. The Youyue Divine Palace in the Shadow Realm disintegrated completely due to it. The Goddess of the Youyue Divine Palace, Chang Xi, also joined the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate later. Those people directly opened up a passageway to the center of the realm in the area where the Youyue Divine Palace was located in an attempt to obtain the Power of Yin.

The Void Realm is the Original Realm. The main world before the Heavenly Path crumbled. After the crumbling of the Heavenly Path, the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Path was formed. The Nine Supreme Imperial Realms are the cores of the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Path. The nine realms were most suited for cultivation. Now that outsiders had their eyes on them, the nine realms themselves have become like treasures.

“So, this is why Lord Taixuan was injured?” Ye Futian asked.

“Yes.” Emperor Nan nodded. “Also, it happened right inside the Heavenly Mandate City.”

Ye Futian spread his divine consciousness towards the Heavenly Mandate City. In an instant, it shrouded the entire area, and many practitioners inside the Heavenly Mandate City seemed surprised and slightly irritated. Who was the impudent fool who dared to do this?! To actually scan the entire Heavenly Mandate City without any reservations using his or her divine consciousness.

Was it another heavyweight from outer realms?

“Hmm?” Then, at that moment, Ye Futian sensed an immensely frightening and powerful aura. The person did not hold back and sent an attack directly at his divine consciousness, which resulted in Ye Futian’s divine consciousness withdrawing instantly. A powerful and domineering divine consciousness now shrouded around them.

Emperor Nan raised his head to glance at it. At the same time, Duan Tianxiong and Old Ma frowned. Their divine consciousness shot out at the same time, their gazes extremely sharp.
