Chapter 2506: Return
To return to the Ziwei Segmentum from Western Heaven, Ye Futian had to first pass through the Divine Prefecture. He passed by many places and heard many things.
These past few years, the Ziwei Segmentum had been sealed off from the outside world. Their news of the outside was naturally also cut off, so they did not know of the current changes to the outside world.
However, on Ye Futian’s way back, he obtained a lot of information.
The lands of the Original Realm were now open to the various major worlds. It no longer solely belonged to the Divine Prefecture. The various worlds were now part of it. Unless the Divine Prefecture went to war with various worlds, it could only acquiesce in this.
As time passed, the various major worlds opened up pathways to the Original Realm.
It was the same for the lands of the Divine Prefecture. Each of the 18 domains had pathways leading to the Original Realm.
This made Ye Futian emotional. It might be that the Original Realm had returned to how it was in ancient times. It served as the center of the world, and countless forces from various worlds gathered within it.
As for how the Original Realm was overall, he was unable to find out. After all, the Ziwei Segmentum did not have contact with the outside world, so he could not obtain useful information through his forces there.
The changes of the world began in the Original Realm!
Ye Futian recalled this prophecy. In Western Heaven, he learned that this prophecy had originated from the Western Heavenly World and spread throughout the worlds.
What did the changes of the world refer to exactly?
Ye Futian and the others made a trip to Four Corner Village first. Back then, he had obtained a treasure from Princess Donghuang that could directly open a pathway from the Original Realm to the Divine Prefecture. However, he would not be able to use it for the trip back. That meant to say that he could leave the Original Realm but not return to it unless he borrowed a passageway opened by Donghuang Imperial Palace.
However, that was currently impossible for him.
Fortunately, in Four Corner Village, Master had opened a passageway to the Original Realm for him. That way, Ye Futian had a path between the Original Realm as well as the Divine Prefecture.
In the Ziwei Segmentum, among the vast starry sky, galaxies shifted, and starlight flowed.
In the starry cultivation court of Ziwei Imperial Palace, many people raised their heads to the sky. They seemed to have sensed something as they revealed strange expressions.
“Yeah!”
A bolt of black lightning shot up past the clouds. A creature charged up into the starry sky. It was Black Wind Condor.
When they saw this scene, the various cultivators in the starry cultivation court looked towards Black Wind Condor.
Before this, they had already heard the news that Ye Futian would return. Now, from Black Wind Condor’s reaction, they understood that Ye Futian was back.
At that moment, everyone stopped cultivating and quietly waited.
Not long after, a group of people arrived. They did not enter the starry cultivation court from the passageway in Ziwei Imperial Palace, instead directly appearing here. Ye Futian controlled the will of Great Emperor Ziwei, so he naturally could do so.
In the starry sky, a Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird dove down with its wings outstretched. Its wings blocked out the sun as it circled around in the starry sky. It then stabilized itself and floated in mid-air.
On the back of the Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird, a few figures stepped forward. The person who stood in the center had white robes purer than snow. He looked down at the familiar faces below and smiled. His expression was gentle, and there was not a shred of aura emanating from his figure. He seemed like an ordinary person, yet he gave off an extraordinary vibe. Everyone knew that Ye Futian had improved greatly on his journey.
“Futian.”
“Palace Lord.”
“Younger Brother.”
“Master.”
“…”
Many voices called out at the same time. Many titles were mentioned, but they all referred to the same person. They were all calling out to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian had been away for more than a decade. It was such a long time.
Now, he had finally returned.
“I am back,” said Ye Futian as he smiled at the familiar faces approaching him.
“Boss, how about you leave this Golden Feather to be educated by Condor sama?” Black Wind Condor asked Ye Futian. He had not taken his eyes off the Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird, Mo Yunzi. This golden-feathered bird was a great threat to his own position. Now that Master had returned, he had to seize the initiative and assert his dominance.
“Golden Feather?”
Mo Yunzi’s sharp eyes shot over towards Black Wind Condor like daggers. Was he Condor sama?
This was the first time Mo Yunzi had heard someone refer to him with such an uncouth name. He was the divine bird, the Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird. Even in the World of Buddhism, he had standing and was the mount of Buddhas.
This black bird dared to call him such a name?
“What are you looking at? I, Condor sama, have followed Master for many years. How can you be compared to me? Shouldn’t you be showing your respect to yours truly?” Black Wind Condor said in an arrogant tone.
Buzz! Mo Yunzi could not tolerate this any longer. He immediately charged over with his golden claws outstretched. His dignity was still intact even though he was now the mount of Ye Futian. He would not allow Black Wind Condor to walk all over him.
“Insubordination,” chided Black Wind Condor as he dodged. The two demonic beasts took to the skies at extremely high speeds.
The crowd watched this scene in surprise. Ye Futian had just returned, and these two demonic beasts had actually begun fighting.
Ye Futian was also stunned. He then revealed a smile. Although these two fellows were fighting now, they were connected to him and knew where to draw the line.
“Was your journey successful this time?” Lord Taixuan asked.
“Lord Taixuan,” greeted Ye Futian politely first. He then looked to the others and said, “It has been years since we last met. I have missed you all. Seniors, pardon me for not greeting you all individually.”
The crowd nodded in understanding. It wasn’t that Ye Futian did not wish to follow protocol; there were just too many people. If Ye Futian were to greet them all one by one, he would waste a lot of time. Cultivators did not bother with such formalities anyway.
“Our journey this time was very successful,” replied Ye Futian as he looked at Lord Taixuan. He continued, “I brought Qingqing to Western Heaven, and we went to Spirit Mountain. Qingqing was the reincarnation of the Buddhist lamp of The Buddha. She had accompanied The Buddha during his cultivation in her past life. She has now recovered her memories as Ancient Buddha Qingdeng.”
Ye Futian continued, “Chen Yi went to Great Bright Domain and also obtained his inheritance. As for me, I had many fateful encounters in Western Heaven and cultivated many miraculous Buddhist doctrines. I had the opportunity to come in contact with several high-tier Buddhist doctrines on this trip. I have reaped many benefits from them.”
Ye Futian summarized the experiences their group had over the past few years for the crowd. However, everyone knew that there was more to what he was telling them. This journey had certainly not been easy.
Nevertheless, it seemed as though the benefits of this trip were indeed huge.
“The cultivation of these young fellows has also improved by a lot. It was well worth the trip,” Emperor Xi said as he looked at Fang Cun and the others behind Ye Futian. Old Ma and the other cultivators from Four Corner Village also came forward. They revealed smiles as they looked at Little Ling and the others.
Ye Futian smiled as he looked at the crowd and said, “First Elder Brother, Second Elder Sister, Third Elder Brother, Dou Zhao, Muyu… all of you have improved greatly.”
“These past few years, we have always been hard at work cultivating in the Ziwei Segmentum. Since we were forced to seal ourselves away in the world of Ziwei, aside from cultivating, there was nothing else we could do. The starry cultivation court also contains the Will of the Great Emperor, so all of us have indeed improved greatly,” Lord Taixuan said with a smile. “It is just that we do not know what has happened in the outside world and how the Heavenly Mandate Realm is currently.”
Lord Taixuan seemed to still long for the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
“Hmm,” responded Ye Futian as he nodded his head. “After so many years, I also wish to know how it is in the outside world currently. Now that I have returned, we can remove the seal on the Ziwei Segmentum and head out to take a look!”
