The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2371: Together Again

Those who cultivated at the Heavenly Mandate Academy were familiar with this newcomer on the scene. He and Ye Futian used to be inseparable; he was his best brother-in-arms. Although his reputation was not as well-known as Ye Futian’s, the old timers at Heavenly Mandate Academy were well aware that his combat effectiveness was extremely powerful, not any less than Ye Futian.

Moreover, the Devil General, Mei Ting, had once come to the Heavenly Mandate Academy just for him.

Later, when Gu Dongliu and the others departed for the Divine Prefecture, they took him to the Devil World. Now, Hua Jieyu, who had been cultivating in the Divine Prefecture alone, had returned. Yu Sheng, who had been cultivating in the Devil World, did the same.

All this seemed to be a coincidence, but more likely, it was not. Because the Original Realm was now mired in turmoil, cultivators from all of the worlds had descended. Whether it was Hua Jieyu, who cultivated in the Divine Prefecture, or Yu Sheng from the Devil World, they must have heard something about what was happening now. Therefore, it was not surprising for them to show up at this critical juncture.

Currently, the attention of all the worlds was focused squarely on the Original Realm.

What’s his position in the Devil World? the cultivators wondered as they assessed Yu Sheng. With so many cultivators from the Devil World guarding him in the center, Yu Sheng received some very special treatment. It was similar to when Xiao Mu had descended on the Heavenly Mandate Academy.

Could it be that he was also accepted as a direct disciple by the Devil Emperor?

But it didn’t add up. Before Yu Sheng had gone to the Devil World to cultivate, Mei Ting, the Devil General, had personally arrived in the Heavenly Mandate Academy to find him for the express purpose of taking him to the Devil World. This meant that Yu Sheng already had some relationship with the Devil World even before he had gone there.

His status in the Devil World may have something to do with his origin. If so, what was Yu Sheng’s true status?

If Yu Sheng’s origin was unusual or extraordinary in any way, then what about Ye Futian?

How did the two of them get to know each other? Why did they grow up together? And what was hidden in their shared history?

Ye Futian looked there as well, bright smiles in his eyes. This guy had come back.

And he was different than before. The hefty dude who used to follow him around was now someone filled with boundless domineering spirit. Like himself, Yu Sheng was now a peak Renhuang, standing at the top of the cultivation world.

He must have made great progress in the Devil World; it seemed that he had made the right decision to go there.

However, Ye Futian couldn’t help but wonder who his foster father was. And Yu Sheng, what was his relationship with the Devil World?

However, none of this was important at the present moment. Surely, he would know the answers in the future. The most important thing was that his beloved and his best friend had both returned to his side.

It felt just like many, many years ago.

“Yu Sheng!” Ye Futian called with a smile.

“Yu Sheng!” When those people from the top forces in the Divine Prefecture heard this name, they remembered someone. During their investigation into Ye Futian’s past, they had uncovered another person who was also extremely outstanding. Compared to Ye Futian’s wife, Hua Jieyu, this person was far more eye-catching. They knew that this person had grown up alongside Ye Futian, always by his side. More importantly, it was said that his combat effectiveness was extraordinary, comparable to Ye Futian’s.

Later on, when a group of people from the Heavenly Mandate Academy departed for the Divine Prefecture, he disappeared. Rumor had it that he was handpicked by the Devil General of the Devil World himself. Because of his supreme demonic talent, he was taken to the Devil World to cultivate. It was very possible that he was destined to be a demonic cultivator.

Now, he had returned. And from his aura and where he was standing, everyone realized that he must have achieved an extraordinary position in the Devil World.

Could it be that he was a really direct disciple of the Devil Emperor?

If so, it meant that his demonic talent was much higher than imagined. Otherwise, he would not have been taken to the Devil World, where he was valued by the Devil Emperor himself.

However, the eyes of some cultivators from the Ancient God Clan flickered; they seemed to be considering another possibility.

All this was way too strange, to say the least. If Yu Sheng had such an extraordinary talent, Ye Futian must be the same. Both of them were top genius talents in the world, and the existence of just one of them was already a rare enough find; not even the Ancient God Clan could find anyone as outstanding as this. But for two such extraordinary figures to appear in the same place and having grown up together, it was intriguing, to say the least.

They returned to their previous conclusion that there must be something secretive about Ye Futian’s origin. What kind of secrets was he harboring?

“This is getting more and more interesting.” Xi Chiyao watched everything with those beautiful eyes of hers, a smile on her face. First with Hua Jieyu, then the arrival of Yu Sheng with the cultivators from the Devil World. The situation here was becoming more precarious by the minute.

As soon as Yu Sheng heard Ye Futian’s voice, he stepped into the void. Though he did not say a word, he was walking in the direction where Ye Futian was. Behind him, peak characters from the Devil World watched him quietly without following. Who would dare provoke the Devil World when they were standing guard here?

These people from the Divine Prefecture were not that fearless just yet.

Yu Sheng traversed through the crowd to enter the battlefield until he was next to Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu.

Obviously, he had already seen Hua Jieyu, and he was indescribably happy to see the two of them back together again.

“Not too bad. Your cultivation has caught up with mine.” Ye Futian punched Yu Sheng jokingly, a bright sunny smile on his face. He thought that his cultivation speed was extremely fast already, coupled with many fortuitous adventures and his having received the inheritance from several Great Emperors. Each time, it had sped up his cultivation considerably.

But Yu Sheng’s cultivation was comparable to his. Yu Sheng was now also a Renhuang in the Seventh-Realm. Ye Futian had no idea how his cultivation had come about.

Hua Jieyu’s cultivation was strong, but she was an exception as this was not the result of normal cultivation. Yu Sheng’s cultivation should be something that was achieved more traditionally.

Yu Sheng, however, revealed a rare smile. He was extremely happy in his heart that they finally got to see each other again. As for his cultivation, after he had gone to the Devil World, the cultivation resources at his disposal were not something that Ye Futian could have imagined, so his progression was very speedy. He had thought that Ye Futian would have fallen behind.

“I’m late,” said Yu Sheng. His first words were to blame himself for not getting there in time.

Here, Ye Futian was being besieged and bullied by these pieces of garbage from the Divine Prefecture.

Since birth until now, Ye Futian had always been his soft spot. When they were young, it had always been Ye Futian who protected him in front of his father. But since their youth, he had been the one who protected Ye Futian when they were away. His father always said that he was born to be a general and that he must guard the man in front of him with his life. This had become an instinct for him, and he had never wavered in this belief. Furthermore, everything Ye Futian had done for him convinced him that this was the right thing to do. Their brotherhood was forged by life and death; either one of them would be more than willing to protect the other no matter the cost.

“You are not late. Just in time, actually.” Ye Futian said with a laugh. “It’s been many years... You and I have not fought together. Today, bullies here intend to do their worst just because their cultivation is greater than mine. Now that you are here, we could take them on together.”

Not only did these people from Divine Prefecture not backing down, they even attempted to harm Hua Jieyu in their pursuit to continue persecuting him. It seemed that this battle was unavoidable.

“Good,” Yu Sheng nodded. Just as before, no nonsense, just a simple word of acknowledgement!
