Chapter 2276 - Protection

Chapter 2276: Protection

Renhuang Chen and the others continued to guard the area. The flames at the center faded. The entire Solar Realm changed as the flames receded.

The cultivators from the Solar Realm could sense that the earth seemed to have undergone some changes. However, the ordinary cultivators couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed. Only those with more profound cultivation could sense what was happening.

The Solar Realm would most likely be different from now on.

Time trickled past. The cultivators who were gathered at the center gradually left the place. It was meaningless for them to stay around. After all, they couldn't possibly attack Ye Futian to snatch the treasure. No one could kill him in the previous battle. Now, the cultivators had to seriously consider the consequences if they wanted to lay a finger on him.

Only Renhuang Chen and the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy remained there. They were protecting Ye Futian.

After a long while, the aura of flame on Ye Futian gradually subsided. In his Life Palace, a true world seemed to have formed. The sun and the moon both shone high in the sky while being surrounded by stars. He had finally seized control of the power of Yin, the Power of the Sun, and the power of the stars.

Moreover, he also possessed the Undying Flames of the Divine Fire of Wutong.

Ye Futian opened his eyes, and beams of Divine Fire of the Sun shot out from his pupils. The beams were scorching hot. His gaze seemed to be capable of burning everything he laid his eyes on.

Renhuang Chen and the rest noticed that Ye Futian's temperament had changed once again. However, the changes were subtle. After all, Ye Futian possessed many other abilities.

Ye Futian turned around and looked at the crowd. He said, "Let's go."

The crowd nodded and followed him. After a while, they left the underground world and traversed up into the sky. They looked down, and all they saw was scorched earth. The flames had receded, but the ground was torched.

The Solar Divine Palace had been burnt to ashes. It now existed only in history. The Solar Realm also no longer contained the Power of the Sun.

In the distance, many cultivators of the Solar Realm noticed that Ye Futian and his group had emerged. All of them focused their attention on him and his group. Among the onlookers were quite a few cultivators from the major forces of the Solar Realm. They could tell the identities of Ye Futian and his companions with a mere glance.

The Solar Divine Palace had been eradicated. From now on, the Solar Realm was also under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. If the Heavenly Mandate Academy wanted to, they could directly rule over the Solar Realm.

However, the current Solar Realm seemed to have lost its value. Even the Earthly Divine Fire had disappeared. It should have been pocketed by someone among Ye Futian's group. Most likely, Ye Futian himself had taken it.

The local cultivators had all heard rumors of Ye Futian pulling off a similar feat in the Shadow Realm. What he did was something that the cultivators of the Sun God Mountain failed to do. Even the other top figures had trouble approaching the divine item. Most likely, only Ye Futian had a chance to succeed.

Therefore, most of the onlookers actually speculated that Ye Futian, who had the weakest cultivation level among his group, had taken the divine item.

Ye Futian scanned the crowd. Then, he said to his companions in a low voice, "We should not give up on the Solar Realm."

All Nine Supreme Realms were part of the Original Realm and were the strongest lands of cultivation. They were also the future of the Original Realm.

Ye Futian had decided to control the entire Original Realm, so he was unwilling to give up the Solar Realm just like that.

"Who should we send here?" Lord Taixuan asked.

"Perhaps we can build an academy here," Ye Futian looked at Lord Taixuan and suggested. "Then, we can recruit all the talented figures in the Solar Realm to cultivate there. It will become a branch of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Those with exceptional performance will be sent to the Heavenly Mandate Realm to further their cultivation. How about it?"

"Okay. Your suggestion is plausible." Lord Taixuan nodded in agreement. In the distance, all the cultivators were excited when they heard Ye Futian's words. They also had a chance to enter the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

Currently, the Heavenly Mandate Academy was definitely the center of the Original Realm. There was no place greater than it. It was the king of the Original Realm.

"We will further discuss this matter when we are back in the academy," Ye Futian concluded. The rest nodded. Then, they traversed space and left the Solar Realm.

The cultivators of the Solar Realm stared at the scorched earth with mixed feelings.

…

The news of Solar Divine Palace being eradicated soon spread across the Nine Realms. Currently, all Nine Realms were controlled by the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Hence, news traveled exceptionally fast. The news stirred up a huge commotion in the Central Emperor Realm.

In the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Ye Futian and the rest had returned. Someone was reporting the updates to them in the main hall.

The person reported, "All the cultivators of Celestial Worthy Temple have evacuated the place and disappeared. Many of them are now dispersed in various locations in the Imperial Realm." The Celestial Worthy Temple was supported by a superpower force. Therefore, they did not come to pledge their allegiance to the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Right now, everyone in the organization had been dismissed.

Clearly, they knew that they would be in danger like the Solar Divine Palace.

In reality, the reason the Solar Divine Palace was eradicated was the super cultivator from the Sun God Mountain. Otherwise, the Solar Divine Palace might have been spared from the calamity.

"Hmm." Ye Futian nodded. The person left the hall after giving his report.

The core members of Celestial Worthy Temple would most likely leave together with the people from the Upper Worlds and head to Celestial Worthy Mountain in the Divine Prefecture. As for the rest of the cultivators, it was meaningless for Ye Futian to hunt them down. Since he did not hunt down every single member of the Shen clan, he naturally would not do so to the members of Celestial Worthy Temple.

"Has the restructuring of the Central Emperor Realm forces been completed?" Ye Futian asked Xiao Muyu, who was beside him.

"Hmm." Xiao Muyu nodded and said, "It is more or less completed. Now, we have all the forces in the Central Emperor Realm under control. After the battle in the Solar Realm, we practically control every single force in the Original Realm, except forces from the outside worlds."

Ye Futian nodded. Since they had completed mmarshalingall the forces in the Original Realm, it was time for him to unite the entire realm. After that, the outside forces would most likely not dare to attack them easily.

Ye Futian mumbled, "But many other realms in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path are still suffering. They are defenseless against the invasion of the outside worlds." Lord Taixuan nodded in agreement and responded, "Before you returned, many realms in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path were attacked and seized by the Dark World. Currently, many forces from the Dark World still have control over these realms."

"Hmm." Ye Futian nodded. He looked into the distance and said, "Issue my order to the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. From this day forth, all 3,000 Realms of the Great Path are under the protection of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. If any forces run rampant and kill the innocents in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path, the Heavenly Mandate Academy will surely hunt down these forces."

Many people were shocked when they heard Ye Futian's words. All their gazes were fixed on him. Ye Futian actually wanted to protect the entire 3,000 Realms of the Great Path?

The outside forces were so powerful, and the world of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path was vast. It was plausible for the Heavenly Mandate Academy to control the Nine Realms, but it would most likely be an arduous task for them to expand their protection to the entire 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. It was an insanely difficult mission.

However, after hesitating for a moment, the cultivators present still nodded obediently. They bowed and said, "Understood."

Many cultivators turned around and prepared to leave. Lord Taixuan and the other top figures also said, "We'll help to relay this message too."

They were gratified by Ye Futian's order.

Ye Futian was now the College Chief of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. After he seized control of the Nine Supreme Realms, it was righteous for him to be willing to protect the entire Original Realm from being tormented by disasters!
