Chapter 2309 - Above Expectations

Chapter 2309: Above Expectations

Ye Futian and the others did not leave immediately after they returned to the academy. Although it was rumored that many relics appeared in the Original Realm, Ye Futian knew he couldn't take them all.

Now the changes in the entire Original Realm intensified, with more and more relics surfacing. If he were to grab everything out there, it would almost certainly cause public outrage and create enemies out of the whole world.

Take the current situation, for instance. He had the inheritance from several Great Emperors, thus becoming the focus of many powerful cultivators. If it weren't for the teacher who stood behind him, these top forces would have already attacked him and the Heavenly Mandate Academy. They wouldn't be waiting so docilely in the starry sky world for him to cultivate in peace.

One principality wouldn't be capable of dealing with him, but what if they combine their forces? If they couldn't go to the starry sky world to challenge him, it certainly wouldn't be a problem for them to challenge Heavenly Mandate Academy.

Ye Futian knew very well that he had to give up some of the opportunities to other principalities in a situation like this instead of swallowing them all.

However, Ye Futian had also dispatched cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy to go out and assess the current state of affairs in the outside world. Even if they were not planning to take action now, they must monitor the current movement of the Original Realm. Now that he had complete control over the Nine Supreme Regions, he also had eyes and ears in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path, so he had an idea of everything that was happening. However, to know the occurrences in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path and beyond, messengers had to be sent out.

At present, all that was known had been spread far and wide. Perhaps some had discovered the relics while they were exploring, but they did not make it public. After all, no one wanted to attract even more rivals to this competition.

Ye Futian's circumstances were, in fact, a microcosm of all the forces in the entire Original Realm. All the forces had begun to mobilize, as the entire Original Realm was developing in this unknown direction.

…

At this time, somewhere inside the Original Realm, suddenly heaven and earth underwent a terrible and violent change. This space began to collapse as a terrible dark vortex manifested. Later, a bright and brilliant divine light shot out from it as a group of people appeared with the divine light and stepped out of the vortex.

The temperament of this group of people was extraordinary, and one single glance revealed that all of them were unusual, to say the least. They surveyed their surroundings, and their leader was heard marveling, "The Original Realm! This must be the world before the collapse of the heavenly path!"

"Mmm." An old man next to him nodded.

"It has long been rumored that the Original Realm was a land of ruins. Those at the bottom continued to cultivate here, but they never expected that there would still be changes in the Original Realm. Do you know why?" the leader continued to ask.

The cultivators next to them looked thoughtful but then shook their heads.

"Perhaps someone thought that the world has been quiet for too long," the man said with a smile. But then his smile gradually receded as his inscrutable eyes stared into the distance. He expanded his divine consciousness to perceive the Way between heaven and earth. He was heard murmuring, "Far too weak."

If it weren't for the great changes in the Original Realm, he probably would never set foot in this land.

As the man took a step forward, the others followed one after the other. A terrible aura permeated the space between heaven and earth, and there were traces of invisible divine light surrounding the area where they were, so they appeared as if they were some deities.

At the same time, in other parts of the Original Realm, similar scenes played out asynchronously. Just as Ye Futian and the others discussed at the Heavenly Mandate Academy, more and more powerful cultivators made their way into this world. Many of them were peak powers that had previously dismissed the Original Realm as inconsequential.

Still, the changes in the Original Realm continued. Somewhere in the Original Realm, many cultivators stood in the void. Their eyes looked up and forward, and somewhere further up in the vast nothingness, the entire space in the void was tossing and roaring. The space began to crack, and from those terrible fissures, massive structures gradually emerged and became visible in front of them.

An ancient aura hit them in the face, like ancient mountain ranges from yore. There was an atmosphere of decay that harbored within, as well as a heavy sensation of death. Furthermore, there was a faint breath that quickened everyone's heartbeat. It was as if this aura would not dissipate for years to come.

At the same time, in another area of the Original Realm, a similar scene played out. The space of the void was torn apart, opened by some top cultivator with swordsmanship. It felt like the crack in this space was like a prison, and all the ancient relics were confined within.

When this prison was broken open, the relics were released. Slowly, buildings re-emerged in the world. These buildings were full of ancient aura but also accompanied by a sense of death. As these fissures widened, these newly released relics were becoming more and more terrifying. It turned out to be a boundless and gigantic city. What they had seen seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg.

However, this city embodied an ambiance of dilapidation, with broken walls and remnants of beams everywhere. It was as if it had experienced some catastrophe in a bygone era. It was extremely fortunate that some of these relics had been preserved and that they had not vanished in the destruction once upon a time.

The top figure who cleft open the space in the void waited quietly beside him, watching a majestic and massive city gradually reveal itself.

…

The entire Original Realm was constantly changing. The prophecy regarding the changes between heaven and earth originating in the Original Realm began to spread. By now, they were known to just about everyone. People started to believe in the prophecy. All the changes in the Original Realm made those powerful major forces tremble.

Even the cultivators from the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path had heard of this prophecy, and their hearts were greatly disturbed. No one knew what the Original Realm would look like in the future.

In the Cottage inside the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

Ye Futian was cultivating here when a group of men arrived. They were cultivators such as Old Ma, Emperor Nan, Xiao Dingtian, and the clan lord of the Dou Tribe. All of them came from the outside.

"What has happened to stir all the elders thus?" asked Ye Futian, as he detected the solemn expressions on the faces of several top Renhuang.

"The changes that have taken place in the Original Realm now far exceed our expectations, and there are more and more ancient relics appearing in various places," Emperor Nan said to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian's eyes sharpened when he heard this. If Emperor Nan said so, the changes in the outside world must have been drastic enough to cause Emperor Nan's concern.

"In addition, the cultivators from the outside world have arrived. As far as Divine Prefecture is concerned, it is said that Ancient God Clan has arrived," Emperor Nan continued. Ye Futian's eye focused a bit more as he whispered, "the Ancient God Clan?"

"Yes, the Ancient God Clan. The Ancient God Clan that has lived on for countless centuries produced deities and still holds the heirs of the remains of the gods, who are qualified to be called the Ancient God Clan. They are the true power that stands at the peak. Even the imperial palace has to pay them proper respect," said Emperor Nan. Ye Futian, in turn, was quite uneasy when he heard what Emperor Nan had to say.

It seemed that this time, all parts of the world had been disrupted!
