The Legend of Futian

The forces of Haotian City, large or small, had all stepped out, one after another. At that moment, people began to understand why The Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven was said to be The Celestial Gate of Haotian City.

 Perhaps it was because the words of The Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven Gate Lord triggered people. At that time, the Gu Clan died for the Celestial Gate and fought until only Gu Dongliu was left. Now, they were in the same situation. Only when there was one man could they cease the war.

 This reminded people of Haotian City how glorious the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven was in the era of Gu Tianxing, and how prosperous the Haotian City was at that time. No matter where they went, they all were all proud to be a member of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven.

 If the Celestial Gate collapsed, then there would be no Haotian City in the world. Haotian City would be ruled by the Violet Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty. From then on, they would become vassals, and the forces would not have the status as they had today, nor would they have the opportunity to enter the core of the Celestial Gate. The Heavenly Mandate Dynasty was an imperial alliance where they would not be allowed to be in charge.

 Of course, it might also be because of Gu Dongliu’s fight, from which they saw his determination and hope for the future.

 Perhaps, he was really a character who could change the times, reviving the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven and letting Haotian City return to the top of Heavenly Mandate Realm.

 Moreover, this time, it seemed that not only Gu Dongliu but Gu Dongliu’s younger brother Ye Futian was also extraordinary.

 The Dynastic Overlord of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Violet Heavenly Palace Lord frowned slightly. The faith of all beings could be very powerful. When all people had one faith, they could produce a superpower, which resonated with the Great Law. Their Will shrouded the boundless void sky and could even see the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty Crown Prince—Yi Tianyu—,who was preparing to leave.

 Seeing many warriors around Yi Tianyu, forces of Haotian City deployed troops occupying their nearby locations and didn’t show obvious intention to target them.

 However, as long as the war started, they would definitely do something to Yi Tianyu.

 Since the two major forces of the Heavenly Mandate Realm were coming to attack the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, this storm would be a real war.

 Silence permeated the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, and the repressive atmosphere shrouded everyone’s heart.

 Those external top forces stood in different places and watched everything happening. If the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Violet Heavenly Palace wanted to forcibly attack the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven, they would suffer heavy losses, too. Even if the two forces were really able to exterminate the Celestial Gate, they would also have to lose a lot of vitality.

 What’s more, there was a celestial matrix inside the Celestial Gate, which was the main battlefield of the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven.

 This war probably would not happen.

 “Do you really want to protect him, even at the expense of the Celestial Gate’s destruction?” the Heavenly Mandate Dynastic Overlord asked. His voice was cold, and he stood in the upper sky like a god as if he might hit the Celestial Gate at any time.

 “Do you need me to repeat it again? The Celestial Gate will stop fighting only after there is only one person left,” the Lord of the Jiang Clan responded. “What’s more, are you sure you can destroy the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven? Even if the Celestial Gate collapses, perhaps then it will be your turn to decline.”

 “I only need Gu Dongliu.” The voice of the Violet Heavenly Palace Lord contained thunder, trembling in the eardrums of every warrior.

 “How about I give Gu Dongliu to you, and you leave the Crown Prince of Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Supreme Form of the Great Path of Violet Heavenly Palace here?” the Lord of Hua Clan also said. Just one person?

 How could they hand over this person?

 Could the Dynastic Overlord hand over the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty?

 Could the Violet Heavenly Palace hand over Zhan Yuan—their Supreme Form of Great Path?

 “Do you want to fight or not?” asked the Head of the Wang Clan, seeing that they were silent.

 The Dynastic Overlord of Heavenly Mandate Dynasty glanced at him and then said coldly, “The Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven did not keep their promise in the past and took the descendant of the Gu Clan back to the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven. You should always remember what you have done.”

 Immediately after these words, the overwhelming life force of sky and earth quickly dissipated. And when the divine light dispersed, the figure in the void sky stepped away.

 At the same time, the light of thunder also dispersed, and the Lord of the Violet Heavenly Palace also left.

 The two giants disappeared directly.

 At this moment, the entire city of Haotian seemed to relax, and everyone’s heart settled down.

 Finally. They were not ready to go to war.

 They were also afraid, fearing they would repeat everything of that year and weaken the strength of the Heavenly Dynasty. Their vitality would be greatly hurt, and at that time, and other forces would benefit from it.

 At that time, the battle made the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty fall from its peak, but it was still slightly stronger than other forces over the years. However, if it experienced such a war again, the Heavenly Mandates could not afford it.

 In fact, today, the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Violet Heavenly Palace came to the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven for a gamble.

 The previous battle and the appearance of the Dynastic Overlord and the Palace Lord, in the end, were all parts of the game. Once the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven lost, the consequence would be disastrous.

 However, it was clear that during this game, Gu Dongliu and the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven both showed strong determination, which led to the withdrawal of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Heavenly Palace from Haotian City.

 Their bodies flickered in the air, and the warriors of both sides retreated like tides and soon disappeared into the void sky.

 This grand storm also came to an end.

 However, perhaps today was just the beginning. Later, the undercurrent of conflict would surge in the Heavenly Mandate Realm. At least the clash between the two sides had intensified, and the battle between Gu Dongliu and Yi Tianyu officially announced the direct confrontation of the two peak forces.

 No one knew exactly when this storm would completely break out, but everyone knew its final result would directly affect the political geography of the Heavenly Mandate Realm.

 Was this the change of Heavenly Mandate predicted by that demon prophet?

 But the people of the Celestial Gate were still there. Warriors in Haotian City looked up toward the ladder. The Lord of Jiang Clan stepped forward, saluting the world as he said, “There was an agreement between Jiang Clan, Hua Clan, and Gu Clan during the battle at that time. The Gu Clan was facing extermination, and I promised Gu Tianxing that if there was a chance in the future, I would make the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven prosper again at all costs. Gu Tianxing was able to leave alone at that time, but for the safety of the Celestial Gate, he made his own choice. Now, I have also made my choice, and I will never regret it.

 “People of the Celestial City who are unwilling to intervene, I respect your decision. For those of you who are willing to fight with the Celestial Gate, when the Celestial Gate returns to its peak, we will alter the order and determine how to inherit the Celestial Gate’s Mystical Ways,” the Lord of Jiang Clan said loudly. All the people of Haotian City were able to hear his voice.

 Many people were deeply touched. Today would be a turning point for the Celestial Gate.

 Whether it would be destruction or rebirth was unknown.

 “I see many people from forces of the Heavenly Mandate Realm are still here. If you are willing to come to visit the Celestial Gate as friends, welcome,” the Lord of Jiang Clan continued. These warriors just cupped hands and bid farewell. Nobody went to the Celestial Gate.

 The situation of opposition had been formed, and some of their behavior could easily cause misunderstandings, not to mention entering the Celestial Gate. They didn’t want to be involved.

 Only Ye Futian and his party walked towards the Celestial Gate with no fear.

 The Divine Elephant Clan was his background, but he was not a warrior from the Divine Elephant Clan. Therefore, he did not represent the stand of the Divine Elephant Clan. However, if the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and the Violet heaven palace wanted to lay a hand on him, they had to consider the Divine Elephant Clan’s position.

 “Thank you, sir.” Ye Futian walked to the Lord of the Jiang Clan and saluted.

 His “thank you” was on behalf of his Third Brother. If the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven had not been determined, they would never let go of the Third Brother. The top giants showed up on the scene just to persuade the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven to hand him over. If the Celestial Gate had quivered, Third Brother would not have been safe.

 “My young friend Ye defeated the nine strongest warriors of the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty. I should be the one to thank you first,” the Lord of Jiang Clan said with a smile. He was also happy that Gu Dongliu could have such a brother. This young man had extraordinary talents and could, one day, definitely stand at the top.

 “Let’s go to the Celestial Gate,” the Lord of Jiang Clan said, and the whole group started heading toward the Celestial Gate. Ye Futian and Gu Dongliu walked together.

 “After today, Ye will still have to be careful,” the Lord of the Jiang Clan reminded him. Although the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty did not dare to do anything to Ye Futian openly, the Heavenly Mandate Realm was too big. It had too many powerful people, and they might use some special approaches.

 “I understand,” Ye Futian said and nodded.

 “During this time, Ye, you can cultivate in the Celestial Gate,” the Lord of Jiang Clan said.

 “Okay.” Ye Futian nodded and did not refuse.

 His cultivation of the Mystical Way also needed to stabilize for a while.

 “I see that your relationship with Qin He of Brahma’s Pure Sky seems unusual. If you can get shelter from the Brahma’s Pure Sky Lord, the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty and Violet Heavenly Palace will probably not dare touch you,” the Lord of Hua Clan beside them said.

 The Lord of the Jiang Clan had told him that Gu Dongliu didn’t want to marry, so he wouldn’t force him, but now many people were spreading rumors about Ye Futian and Qin He. If they had feelings for each other and got together, it would be helpful for Ye Futian and Gu Dongliu.

 Previously, the Heavenly Mandate Dynasty also had this idea and wanted to seek marriage with the Brahma’s Pure Sky.

 It was not an unspeakable thing, just icing on the cake.

 Xia Qingyuan beside them heard those words and was stunned. The sparkle in her eyes changed.

 She sighed secretly to herself. He was a person born to be extraordinary, destined to leave other people behind. When they were in Emperor Xia’s Realm, she was able to help him, but now, she could only act as a sidekick.

 There would always be better people around him, either herself or Qin He.

 In the future, there might be even better women around him.

 Maybe, she shouldn’t have had any thoughts in the first place.

 Some people were destined to be missed.

 “Qin He and I are just friends. We are not like the rumors say,” Ye Futian smiled and said.

 “If so, just let it be. But Qin He, as the First Maiden of Brahma’s Pure Sky, must be very outstanding in all aspects,” the Lord of Hua Clan whispered. Ye Futian said nothing. His relationship with Qin He was too distant, and he had no such thoughts.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and soon people all left. Xia Qingyuan walked alone toward the direction of the cloud sea.

 Ye Futian was talking with Gu Dongliu. He noticed Xia Qingyuan walk towards that side, stop on the edge of a mountain peak above the Celestial Gate, and stand there quietly, watching the sea of clouds.

 “What happened?” Ye Futian asked.

 “I want to go back to the Emperor Xia’s Realm,” Xia Qingyuan said softly.

 “Okay,” Ye Futian said with a smile, nodding. Xia Qingyuan looked up at Ye Futian. This b*stard…

 “Are you planning to leave now? How do you plan to go back?” Ye Futian said with a smile while Xia Qingyuan stared at him coldly.

 Xia Qingyuan froze. Suddenly, she realized her problem. How could she go back?

 Could she go back with her plane as it was?

 Here was the Heaven Mandate Realm—one of the Nine Supreme Renhuang Realms—and it was even difficult to return to the Crimson Dragon Realm by herself.

 Seeing the smile on Ye Futian’s face, Xia Qingyuan stared at him fiercely.

 Ye Futian smiled and shrugged, saying, “I don’t know how far away it is from Emperor Xia’s Realm, but I suggest Your Highness should stay here.”

 Ye Futian patted Xia Qingyuan’s shoulder, then walked away. Seeing him leave, Xia Qingyuan said coldly, “Ye Futian, you b*stard!”

 “Is this the first time Your Highness has realized it?” Ye Futian said carelessly and left. Seeing the receding figure, Xia Qingyuan didn’t know if she should laugh or cry!
