Chapter 2545: Making A Complaint

Taichu Domain, Domain Chief’s Manor.

In front of a great hall, Domain Chief of Taichu stood there. In front and below him, a group of men was also standing there, bowing to salute him.

“What’s is it?” The Domain Chief of Taichu asked. As the Domain Chief’s Manor in Taichu Domain, its strength was frightening indeed, and the Chief was no different. He was an extremely powerful man who was disturbed during his cultivation, but he was not angry.

He knew that if they had to disturb him during his cultivation, something serious must have happened.

“Chief, we just got the news that the Holy Land of Taichu has been destroyed,” a man bowed and said. Even as the Chief of Taichu Domain, his heart skipped a beat, and a terrifying divine ray came out of his eyes.

The Holy Land of Taichu, annihilated?

“What happened?” He looked squarely forward, and an invisible aura permeated from him. As the Chief of Taichu Domain, he knew the strength of the Holy Land of Taichu better than anyone; how could it actually be destroyed by someone?

For a while, even he couldn’t quite believe it and didn’t react fast enough.

“Ye Futian led the cultivators from Ziwei Segmentum and went to the Holy Land of Taichu for the express purpose of annihilating it. All three great cultivators in the Tribulation Plane in the Holy Land of Taichu were slain. Taichu Saint Emperor was also killed by the Supreme Elder of the Ziwei Imperial Palace.” The man responded, and it was a reply that made the Chief’s heart trembled violently.

Ye Futian, Ziwei Imperial Palace!

Did Ziwei Imperial Palace, under Ye Futian’s rule, now possessed the terrifying power to destroy the Holy Land of Taichu?

As far as he knew, the Supreme Elder of the Ziwei Imperial Palace was a cultivator who had survived the first Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. Since he was able to kill Taichu Saint Emperor, he must have had a breakthrough in realm.

First, Ye Futian and the West Imperial Palace joined forces to excavate the inheritance of the ancient emperor. Then he started making the elixirs according to the inheritance. After that, the Supreme Elder of Ziwei Imperial Palace had a breakthrough, paving the way for Ye Futian and those from the imperial palace to destroy Taichu.

It seemed that he had produced some extraordinary elixirs. It was very likely that it was on the level of the Sub-divine elixirs.

“Now, there are forces in the Divine Prefecture who wanted to ally to vanquish and destroy the Ziwei Segmentum. It seems that it will not be easy,” the Domain Chief of Taichu said in a low voice after he got over the initial shock.

Previously, Ye Futian single-handedly plowed through the Domain Chief’s Manor in the West Sea Domain, and his assassinations of those within the Manor had completely overpowered Chief Xihai. Now, he simply led his cultivators into Taichu and annihilated it.

Ye Futian was using the Holy Land of Taichu to instill fear in everyone else in the Divine Prefecture.

The reason why he didn’t choose the Domain Chief’s Manor was probably due to some considerations regarding Donghuang Imperial Palace. After all, the Domain Chief’s Manor was directly under the command of the Imperial Palace.

Otherwise, how could the likes of Donghua Domain Chief’s Manor continue to live to this day?

“Divine Prefecture is going to be an exciting place to be,” he muttered to himself, then turned to leave. First was the chaos in the Original Realm, then Ye Futian’s campaigns of aggressions inside the Divine Prefecture. This storm was just intensifying, and no one knew what the future held.

But the prelude of a new era seemed to have started already, and it would most likely involve multiple worlds.

Who would become the main players in these troubled times?

Because Taichu Domain Chief’s Manor was located in Taichung Domain, it was the first to receive news. Soon, the news spread to all domains within the Divine Prefecture. Every top principality gradually learned of the destruction of the Holy Land of Taichu and the fall of Taichu Saint Emperor. For a while, everyone was shocked beyond belief.

At the same time, many principalities were greatly alarmed. Those that wanted to form an alliance to crusade against the Ziwei Segmentum were worried, especially those forces that had a history of long-standing grudges with Ye Futian feared that Ye Futian would target them next.

After all, in the land of Divine Prefecture, there were not many forces who could claim to be much stronger than the Holy Land of Taichu. If Ye Futian could take his people and destroy Taichu, it meant that he could probably destroy most of the forces in the Divine Prefecture.

…

After Ye Futian destroyed the Holy Land of Taichu, he returned to the Ziwei Segmentum. Although everyone knew that the passage connecting the Divine Prefecture and Ziwei Segmentum was located on the Four Corner Continent, no one dared to go there and try anything unseemly.

In Four Corner Village on the Four Corner Continent was a mysterious existence. This existence may be an ancient emperor-level figure, so who was bold enough to provoke him?

After Ye Futian and the others returned to the Ziwei Segmentum, they were very satisfied with the outcome of the battle. After they slew the three Tribulation Plane cultivators in the Holy Land of Taichu, it effectively no longer existed. This battle also served as a deterrent to a certain degree, enough to make those forces that wanted to make a move on the Ziwei Segmentum think twice.

In the Starry Cultivation Court, Ye Futian was counting the relics left behind by Taichu Saint Emperor and found many precious items, especially one of the crystals. When his divine consciousness invaded into it, he seemed to have entered a tumultuous world of space. Strands of invisible air currents flowed about; it was as if it was the beginning, when heaven and earth were first created.

What was even more astounding was that a group of words appeared in this invisible air current as a sound came into his ears.

“The way of heaven is to take from what has in excess to make good what is deficient,” the voice said, and it was precisely what was written by those words. They turned into a voice and floated into his mind.

“Taichu. The Beginning,” Ye Futian murmured. This was the True Will of Taichung, and it was a part of an inheritance.

According to legends in the Divine Prefecture, Taichu Saint Emperor was not a stunning figure of genius talent years ago. Yet, he managed to stand at the top of the Divine Prefecture and became a giant figurehead. It seemed that it had something to do with this item and that he did not achieve his comprehension by himself but with the assistance of a treasure.

Ye Futian continued to feel within the atmosphere and didn’t come out until after quite some time. He watched the purple crystal floating in front of him, and a strange brilliance flashed across his eyes. This was probably the greatest gain of the trip.

“The way of heaven is to take from what has in excess to make good what is deficient!” Ye Futian muttered to himself.

Taichu meant “The Beginning.” He did not expect that he would obtain this unexpected gift after slaying Taichu Saint Emperor. This could be considered a significant gain.

The heavenly path was imperfect. What would happen if one was to cultivate Taichu, The Beginning?

When his thought turned to this, Ye Futian immediately summoned many cultivators like Lord Taixuan, Sky River Great Elder, Emperor Nan, Xiao Dingtian, and other cultivators who once reigned in the Original Realm. Currently, these people belonged to Heavenly Mandate Palace. Although they were not the strongest, they were Ye Futian’s Day Ones. After all, they had been through everything with Ye Futian from the Original Realm until today. After so many battles of life and death, emotionally, they surpassed the cultivators from Four Corner Village in importance.

However, Ye Futian was not concerned about emotions but cultivation.

Ye Futian looked at Lord Taixuan, who was once the College Chief of Heavenly Mandate Academy and the head of this particular group. He looked solemnly at Lord Taixuan and said, “This purple crystal is extraordinary and is a divine object, obtained by me after the slaying of Taichu Saint Emperor. Take it and cultivate with it, and everyone present here may use it to cultivate as well, but do not pass it to the outside.”

To pass on an item like this to the outside may cause the covetousness of the outsiders. Even within Ziwei Imperial Palace itself, some people might become askew in their perception of things.

“Understood,” Lord Taixuan nodded and felt the importance in which Ye Futian held this item. He knew that this item must be extraordinarily precious so that Ye Futian was so serious.

“The cultivation of this method can be supplemented by medicinal elixirs. Perhaps there is an opportunity to reshape your cultivation, so try it first,” Ye Futian said. Everyone was quite surprised when they heard it—reshaping the cultivation?

After the arrangements were made, Ye Futian summoned the others to distribute all the treasures he had received, and all of it was rewarded to the cultivators from the three halls. He did not keep anything for himself, and none of his protectors like Chen Yi or Blind Tie received anything from the lot.

But these protectors were his closest confidants and were considered those in his innermost circle, so they wouldn’t care about things like that.

After the distribution, Ye Futian sat cross-legged and took out a mirror. Then, he saw a beautiful image appeared in the mirror.

“You actually destroyed the Holy Land of Taichu?” Xi Chiyao’s beautiful eyes were full of amazement. She was extremely shocked after she received the news. Ye Futian had led people to destroy the Holy Land of Taichu so quickly. This was not indicative of his growth alone. Still, the entire Ziwei Imperial Palace was also rapidly growing stronger and could deter major principalities within the Divine Prefecture.

“Why do you ask if you already knew?” Ye Futian asked instead.

Xi Chiyao smiled and staring at Ye Futian through the mirror, “You have given the Divine Prefecture a really big surprise. Now, I am afraid many people won’t have a good night’s sleep because of it. I heard that the Chief of Donghua Domain left the Domain Chief’s Manor immediately after he got the news and was joined by Chief Xihai and the others as they embarked to Donghuang Imperial Palace.”

“Go to the Imperial Palace?” Ye Futian looked surprised.

“Mmm,” Xi Chiyao nodded, “You had just destroyed a giant-level principality in the Divine Prefecture. I think you have to go to the Imperial Palace to inform them? If the Imperial Palace gave the word, then they would be no holding back in acting against Ziwei Segmentum. Even just a warning from the Imperial Palace would be enough for you to behave yourself. After all, the Chief of Donghua Domain doesn’t want to end up like Taichu Saint Emperor.”

Ye Futian looked unconvinced. Would this work?

The top figure in the world of cultivation—the Chief of Domain Chief’s Palace—had actually gone to Donghuang Imperial Palace to make a complaint!

However, from this, Ye Futian could see the fear that some people and some principalities had towards him. After the Holy Land of Taichu was destroyed. Presumably, these principalities must have felt threatened; hence, they visited Donghuang Imperial Palace to make a complaint about him.

“In addition, now that you caused this ruckus, the alliance will no longer be on the outside but in the dark. So, you may replace that the threats seem to have weakened on the outside, but the tides are actually moving where you can’t see them, and that’s even more dangerous. You have to be really careful,” Xi Chiyao reminded him.

The total destruction of the Holy Land of Taichu was a warning to everyone. They would not dare to form an alliance on the surface because they were concerned about Ye Futian’s retribution. However, underneath, things might be even more frightening. Given the opportunity, these people would definitely not let them live.

“Be especially careful with Tianyan City. As far as I know, some principalities had been wanting to push Tianyan City forward as a leader. Ziwei Segmentum may be strong, but it would not be able to shake Tianyan City, which won’t end up like the Holy Land of Taichu. Once Tianyan City agrees to take action against Ziwei Segmentum, things would become very thorny,” said Xi Chiyao.

“All right,” Ye Futian nodded with a grave expression on his face. The moment he became known as the heir of Emperor Ye Qing, he instantly became the common enemy of the Divine Prefecture, with an unknown number of people wanting to move and destroy him. Even in Ziwei Segmentum, this danger was ever-present, and he dared not discount any possibilities or threats.

Ye Futian knew that what he should focus on the most right now was to cultivate even harder and break through to the Tribulations Plane as soon as possible. He needed to become an existence that transcended Renhuang. If he could break through the Ninth-Realm, he was sure he would be able to deal with the vast majority of cultivators in the Divine Prefecture, including those giant figures whose names awed the world.

However, such goals in cultivation could not be achieved overnight. It hadn’t been long since he had his breakthrough. He still needed time!
