Ye Futian smiled casually and did not respond directly. He merely said, “I just came out to see and experience Wangdu. I did not have anything planned.”
This time, he was mainly following Goddess Donglai’s arrangement, following her to Wangdu.
Ye Futian also had no plans of cultivating in the Wangshen Watchtower. Goddess Donglai meant to introduce him to Millet Emperor now that he was considered half a disciple of Supreme Deity Donglai. The master of the Wangshen Watchtower, the top figure on Dongxiao Continent, Millet Emperor, was good friends with Supreme Deity Donglai back in the day.
“Renhuang Ye’s ability is extraordinary, and your alchemy techniques are also so astonishing. May I ask what is the relationship between Renhuang Ye and Alchemy Emperor?” a voice asked. Ye Futian shifted his gaze towards the person who had spoken. It was actually a disciple of Goddess Peak. She had an extremely outstanding appearance and temperament. She was a goddess of Goddess Peak.
“Goddess of Goddess Peak, Empress Yi,” Lin Qiu introduced her to Ye Futian via thought transmission.
Empress Yi’s question was also what other people wanted to know. Ye Futian had such outstanding alchemy techniques, but he claimed that he was not a disciple of Alchemy Emperor. Then, what was his identity?
Up until now, this was still a mystery. No one knew. However, even if he wasn’t a disciple of Alchemy Emperor, he had come to Wangdu with Alchemy Emperor’s entourage. Ye Futian must have an extremely intimate relationship with him.
“Goddess will naturally know in the future,” Ye Futian replied with a smile, not answering the other party’s question. Since Goddess Donglai had instructed him not to reveal his identity, for now, she naturally had her reasons for doing so. Alchemy Emperor had also instructed the members who had come with them from the Taiyuan Continent to keep it to themselves for now.
Only they knew that Ye Futian was not the disciple of Alchemy Emperor, but his junior, an heir of Supreme Deity Donglai.
If the people knew that Ye Futian was the heir of the once top alchemy grandmaster of the Donghua Domain, they would probably treat him differently. It would certainly whip up a storm. After all, aside from his daughter, Supreme Deity Donglai did not have an heir back then. After he perished, Eastern Deity Island went into seclusion and was gradually forgotten by the world.
After so many years, Eastern Deity Island was gradually forgotten by the top forces of the Donghua Domain.
“Renhuang Ye, can’t you reveal a little?” Empress Yi asked with a smile. It was hard to refuse her. Yang Qian, who was sitting there, also went along with her and said, “I am also similarly curious about this. Since it will be revealed in the future, why don’t you give us a teaser? Or maybe you can hint about it a little?”
“Alchemy Emperor is considered my senior, and not my teacher,” Ye Futian replied with a smile. It was still an answer that did not reveal anything. However, it was considered a hint for them to speculate on.
Supreme Deity Donglai had perished many years ago. Alchemy Emperor was just a cultivator who Supreme Deity Donglai had instructed before. It was difficult for anyone to link Ye Futian to Supreme Deity Donglai. After all, no one would even consider Supreme Deity Donglai in their speculation.
The crowd was all pondering this issue, but no one could make any head or tail.
“From the looks of it, we can only wait. I cannot figure this out. Has anyone managed to do so?” Yang Qian asked the crowd. The crowd shook their heads. They could not figure out the true identity of this cultivator with proficient pill-concocting ability, powerful combat ability, and who also claimed to be the junior of Alchemy Emperor.
“It seems that no one has managed to guess,” Yang Qian said with a smile as he shook his head at the crowd’s response. “So be it. We can only wait and see. I wonder what sort of surprise will be in store.”
The crowd did not ponder more on Ye Futian’s identity. Since the other party was unwilling to reveal it and they could not figure it out, they could only leave it be. It was a waste of time anyway.
“I also wish to ask everyone a question,” someone asked right then. The crowd looked over at the person who spoke. He was a middle-aged Renhuang who had an authoritative aura. This person was not a cultivator from Wangdu and was instead like Ye Futian and the others. He was from another continent and was mainly here for the Wangshen Watchtower.
“Go on,” Yang Qian said. He had invited everyone here, so he naturally knew who the other party was. This person was also an incredible Renhuang from the Taihua Continent. He was a Renhuang from the Hua clan, which was the top clan of the Taihua Continent. His name was Hua Tianlin. Based on what Yang Qian knew, Hua Tianlin was very famous on the continent. He was renowned far and wide. Since his youth, he was known as the most monstrous figure on the continent.
Hua Tianlin came to Wangdu on the Dongxiao Continent with only one goal in mind: to meet the top figure of this continent, Millet Emperor. Back in the day, he had asked to study cultivation methods under Millet Emperor. Although he was a member of the top clan of the Taihua Continent, he had not received instruction from any major figure. He had come this time for such an opportunity.
With his ability, he would certainly get such a chance.
“This time, cultivators from various continents have come to Wangdu. How many of them will have the chance to meet Millet Emperor?” Hua Tianlin asked. He was not that curious about Ye Futian. The Divine Prefecture was huge, and there were too many incredible figures. Powerful cultivators were innumerable. He couldn’t pay attention to so many of them. He could only focus on what he wanted.
“I’m afraid no one can answer your question,” Yang Qian answered. “Even in Wangdu, few people here have seen Millet Emperor more than once. Millet Emperor is elusive. We can’t come in contact with him even if we wanted to. Be it Heavenly Battle Palace, Alchemy Divine Palace, or other forces, it is the same. If you want to ask how many people will get to meet Millet Emperor, only Millet Emperor himself knows.”
Hua Tianlin nodded his head and did not ask more.
“However, since all of you are here, you can get to know one another beforehand,” Yang Qian continued with a smile. “Those who have come here are all prominent figures from all over. Many of you have come for the Wangshen Watchtower. If you are interested, you can get to know each other on the Law Battle Platform.”
“I have no interest in learning from others as well as verifying the abilities of others. Farewell,” Hua Tianlin said. He seemed uninterested in Law Battles. As he said this, he actually got up, causing many people to reveal strange looks. Was Hua Tianlin actually planning to leave just like that?
Those who have cultivated up to such a high cultivation Plane each had their own quirks.
“I also have some business to attend to, so I won’t stay. May we meet again in the future,” Ye Futian bid farewell, preparing to leave.
He had entertained the other party’s invitation because he had nothing to do. Hence, he had come over to check the place out. He never imagined that the other party had plotted against him and wanted him to participate in a Law Battle. Although Yang Qian had apologized, Ye Futian still did not like the atmosphere here and was not interested in participating in Law Battles. So, he prepared to leave.
This made it somewhat awkward for Yang Qian. From the looks of it, his idea had missed the mark. These people had no intention of clashing with one another.
However, just as Ye Futian was prepared to leave, his gaze suddenly looked far into the distance. From there, a terrifying aura could faintly be sensed.
It was not just Ye Futian. The others in his group had also sensed it and were frantically looking in that direction.
Very quickly, the sky in the distance changed color. A monstrous pressure of the Great Path loomed over them and enveloped the entire Heavenly Battle Palace. It was not just them. Very soon, the members of Heavenly Battle Palace sensed the terrifying pressure of the Great Path and frantically looked up into the sky in the distance.
“Hmm?” Yang Qian frowned. Just then, behind him, cultivators emerged from the palaces of Heavenly Battle Palace one after another. Powerful wills swept out towards the distance. They had clearly also sensed the pressure.
Soon, in the sky far in the distance, divine light descended from the sky. The next moment, A group of cultivators descended, accompanied by divine light. They immediately appeared above Heavenly Battle Palace.
These people had extremely powerful auras. Each person had Renhuang Plane cultivation. Among them, there were even a few people who had terrifying auras. The aura of top-level Renhuangs faintly emanated from their bodies. There were many upper-level Renhuangs among them.
Such a lineup was frightening. Even in Wangdu, not many forces could put together such a powerful lineup.
These people were clearly not a force from Wangdu.
The Law Battles in Heavenly Battle Palace below all stopped at this moment. Countless gazes looked up at the group of cultivators who had descended from the sky. Who were these people?
“What business do you have with Heavenly Battle Palace?” asked Yang Qian, the Young Palace Lord of Heavenly Battle Palace, right then, as he stood up and looked up into the sky. He had yet to discern where the other party had come from.
In the Donghua Domain, few forces had such a lineup.
