Naturally, Lin Qiu and the other two knew that Ye Futian’s “decades” were exaggerated. After all, they knew that he was not the most honest of people. However, they could not deny the value and worth of those pills.
The item class of those pills was such that they were difficult to obtain even in the Dragon Submission mountain range. Moreover, they were far from something that a person with Ye Futian’s cultivation and plane level could create. As such, they were definitely gifts from the daughter of the supreme deity. With Ye Futian giving the pills to them, they were naturally grateful.
It was a significant favor.
“If Brother Ye has any requests in the future, please just let us know,” said Leng Ye, who was beside Lin Qiu. The three of them were the sons of the three villa lords of the Dragon Submission Villa. They were also temperamental people who were extremely loyal. Otherwise, the three villa lords would not have been able to stay together for so many years.
Ye Futian smiled and said, “With your cultivation and plane levels, the pills can last for some time. They are not so easily refined. You should continue cultivating them and maximize the effects of the pills. I have nothing at the moment.”
“Alright.” Lin Qiu nodded. “Since that is the case, Brother Ye, we will take our leave for now.”
After that, the three of them turned around to return to their cultivation. The main reason they came this time was that they were utterly stunned by the pills’ effect and had to come personally to thank Ye Futian specifically. At that moment, it was true that they had not yet fully refined those pills and could continue cultivating and improving themselves.
Ye Futian continued to cultivate in silence. Wangdu remained as busy as ever. The cultivators from the north did not continue causing problems. However, they also did not leave. They had settled down inside Wangdu.
Many people understood that the cultivators of the north came specifically for the Wangshen Watchtower. Naturally, the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family was behind them, and the royal family had also arrived some time ago. It was just that they had not made an appearance.
On this day, the Alchemy Emperor and Goddess Donglai visited Ye Futian together.
“Senior brother, is there news?” Ye Futian smiled gently and asked the Alchemy Emperor.
The Alchemy Emperor like Ye Futian’s address of him. While his position was respected, being the top Alchemy Grandmaster of the Taiyuan Continent, he always revered Supreme Deity Donglai. Back in the day, he was not considered Supreme Deity Donglai’s real disciple, and it had always been a great regret of his.
Ye Futian inherited Supreme Deity Donglai’s will, so it was naturally proper for him to become the heir. For him to be willing to call him senior brother, the Alchemy Emperor was naturally quite happy.
“Yes.” The Alchemy Emperor nodded. “News has come from the Wangshen Watchtower. The Wangshen Watchtower will open in three days. At that time, everyone who came will have a chance to go. We are the same. By then, you will have to grasp the opportunity to try to meet the Millet Emperor.”
“Understood.” Ye Futian nodded. They had already been there for several days. Naturally, he already knew about things surrounding the Wangshen Watchtower.
The Wangshen Watchtower stood at the peak of the city of Wangdu. Every year, practitioners from Wangdu and all other continents who came would have a chance to enter the Wangshen Watchtower to cultivate, and even meet the Millet Emperor and listen to his words. It was a tradition that had remained unchanged for many years.
Every year, at this time, the Millet Emperor would sit within the Wangshen Watchtower and preach. It was a chance for Renhuangs to reach the Millet Emperor.
Initially, they had thought that Ye Futian’s status as the heir to Supreme Deity Donglai would be enough for him to meet the Millet Emperor. However, Goddess Donglai did not make that happen. Instead, she wanted to let Ye Futian prove himself first before anything could happen.
Apart from that, everyone who came had come for this.
Even the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family had led a group of powerful cultivators from the north for this. They had remained very quiet over the past few days, so it was highly likely that they were also waiting for this day.
There was no way the Wangshen Watchtower was going to be peaceful.
Of course, the Wangshen Watchtower had long got wind that the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family had arrived. However, they did not need to worry about such things.
“Get ready. We’ll come and notify you again before we depart,” said the Alchemy Emperor. Ye Futian nodded. He did not need to prepare anything, to be honest. His main competitions for this journey to the Wangshen Watchtower were the practitioners of the Dongxiao Continent. They were not really strong enough to put any pressure on him.
The only ones who could threaten him were most likely the top factions, such as the almighty Great Yan Ancient Royal Family.
As such, since the beginning, he had been taking it easy when facing the Alchemy Divine Palace and the Qin He Palace. The reason was that he did not care much and did not see them as his opponents.
As the news of Wangshen Watchtower spread, Wangdu became a lot busier in an instant. Multiple people began talking. How many Renhuang would have the chance to enter the Wangshen Watchtower to cultivate and study the Great Path? How many would have the opportunity to meet the Millet Emperor? To receive the teachings of the Millet Emperor?
However, before all this, the Wangshen Watchtower also had a commotion. The commotion concerning the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family. They were not friendly and had kept quiet over the past few days. It was highly likely that they were waiting for this day.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. For practitioners, it was too short.
When the day came, the entire city of Wangdu was effervescence. At dawn, countless people were already moving in the skies. Every cultivator was headed in the same direction. From afar, one could vaguely see a towering ancient palace far away in the direction they were heading. It looked like the reflection of a divine ancient imperial city in the clouds in the mortal realm.
In the skies of Wangdu, auras filled the sky. Some glided across the sky, others moved on their swords, and some rode on beasts.
On this day, in a pavilion inside Wangdu, a figure exited a room. The figure raised his head and looked toward a place far away. Then, in a flash, multiple shadows had entered and landed in several locations nearby; however, no one could be seen anywhere.
“Make preparations,” said the figure in the room calmly.
“Understood.” Neat and uniform voices came from his surroundings. Then, multiple shadows disappeared one after another.
On this day, the entire city of Wangdu seemed to be moving. The city was bustling like never before.
…
According to legends, in the beginning, the Wangshen Watchtower was only a few walls. The Millet Emperor and Supreme Deity Donglai discussed the Great Path amidst these walls. However, as the years passed, the Wangshen Watchtower had become a holy land, the strongest force across the Dongxiao Continent. It sat at the center of Wangdu and occupied a large space.
Looking in from the outside, it was impossible to see the border. One could only see an endless and empty space. If one tried hard enough, one could maybe vaguely see the walls of the Great Path that pierced into the sky, as well as several magnificent towering ancient buildings. And standing at the peak of everything, the ancient palace that floated in the sky, that was the place where the Millet Emperor cultivated, according to legend.
It was said that behind the floating empty palace was the old Wangshen Watchtower, which had remained perfectly preserved even now.
At that moment, multiple practitioners had arrived outside the Wangshen Watchtower. One could not see the end of the crowd in one look; however, most were here as observers. Normal people were not qualified to enter the Wangshen Watchtower. Otherwise, the Wangshen Watchtower would have a problem with overcrowdedness.
Only the top factions from the different continents and the top factions of Wangdu, were qualified to recommend some Renhuangs to enter the Wangshen Watchtower to train. The recommendations by the factions were always the strongest and those with the highest potentials. As such, a competition like this would occur every year.
At that time, a group arrived. Their robes fluttered in the wind as if they were deities. Countless gazes fell upon the group. Then, someone uttered, “The deities from the Goddess Peak have arrived.”
The Goddess Peak was a top faction of Wangdu. Naturally, they could make recommendations to enter the Wangshen Watchtower and meet the Millet Emperor to receive his teachings.
Entering the Wangshen Watchtower did not mean joining the Wangshen Watchtower. It simply meant entering to cultivate, train, and receive teachings. If one were strong enough to interest the Wangshen Watchtower, one could also be selected to join the Wangshen Watchtower.
“Good morning, dear deities.” Another group of strong cultivators had arrived. They were the cultivators from the Alchemy Divine Palace. Many practitioners followed them as if a myriad of stars surrounding and supporting the moon. Cultivators from all sides also went up to greet them. They all seemed very formal and polite.
After that came the Heavenly Battle Palace, the Qin He Palace, and many other factions. There were also the factions from the continents surrounding the Dongxiao Continent.
At that time, another group of cultivators came from the sky and landed outside the Wangshen Watchtower. The one in the lead was the Alchemy Emperor. It was Ye Futian’s group.
In an instant, many people shifted their gaze toward them. Many cultivators from the Alchemy Divine Palace gently bowed and greeted the Alchemy Emperor, “Meeting the Alchemy Emperor.”
Their voices instantly attracted even more gazes. The Alchemy Emperor had arrived. That meant that the white-haired youth beside him was probably Ye Liunian.
“Meeting the Alchemy Emperor.” Many people bowed to the Alchemy Emperor. However, no one knew if they were sincere or not. Some looked toward Ye Futian. Then, someone said, “Senior Alchemy Emperor, this person said that he is not a practitioner of Wangdu and has no connection to the Dongxiao Continent, refusing to take part in a battle. For someone who acts like that, why should you bring him here?”
The one who spoke was a cultivator from the Qin He Palace. After that, he glanced at Ye Futian and said, “Since you’ve already severed your relationship with the Dongxiao Continent, why are you still here?”
The crowd was now focused on Ye Futian. The incident at the Heavenly Battle Palace last time clearly irked many people. Now, upon seeing that he was trying to enter the Wangshen Watchtower, many were clearly annoyed.
Qi Mu from the Alchemy Divine Palace smiled gently as he watched. In the end, he was still affected. He was certain that the people of Wangshen Watchtower would have a bad impression of him due to the incident.
The difficulty of Ye Futian entering the Wangshen Watchtower had clearly increased significantly. He could even face early elimination.
