Chapter 2697: The Secrets of the Heaven Realm

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Heaven Realm!” The Supreme Swordlord was somewhat moved. He whispered, “The ancient and mysterious Heaven Realm has been in decline ever since the fall of the last Heavenly Emperor. In fact, in the times of the Heavenly Emperor, there was another person in the Heaven Realm that was not named as the Heavenly Emperor.

When Ye Futian heard these words from Supreme Swordlord, a strange look appeared on his face. According to what he said, the next person in charge of the Heaven Realm after the Heavenly Emperor should also be someone of peerless glory.

“The world knows very little about the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor now, but back then, there was a saying that widely circulated at the top of the cultivation world.” Supreme Swordlord seemed to have been plunged into memories, remembering that peerless figure who sailed across the sky like a meteor.

“What is it ?” Ye Futian asked.

“Daughter of the emperor, unparalleled for all ages. Without her, the world is less colorful,” Supreme Swordlord recited the saying as Ye Futian scrutinized the expression on his face. From the Supreme Swordlord’s words, one could see that he was quite taken by that master of the Heaven Realm. There was even a sense of reverence in his expression.

Daughter of the emperor, unparalleled for all ages.

Without her, the world would be less colorful. This was certainly high praise.

“Is she still around?” Ye Futian asked. In the seven realms of the world, were there seven Great Emperors or just the six?

If such a character remained, what would she be like?

“I believe she is still around,” Supreme Swordlord replied. “If she is no longer in the world, it would be much too lonely in high places. That saying is, of course, not without exaggeration, but it is true that in the last thousand years, she and Donghuang the Great truly embodied our time.”

“Donghuang the Great!” Ye Futian murmured. Did the Supreme Swordlord have such a high opinion of Donghuang the Great as well?

“Now that her heir and the daughter of Donghuang the Great are about to compete with each other, I am most certainly looking forward to it. What kind of outcome will result when the two collide?” Supreme Swordlord asked Ye Futian. Ye Futian realized that this was why the Supreme Swordlord came along with them.

He wanted to watch the heirs of two peerless characters exchange with one another.

The heir of Heaven Realm and the heir of the Divine Prefecture.

So now Ye Futian was looking forward to it as well. Only now did he realize that there were a lot of stories about the Heaven Realm. At that time, because of the decline of the Heaven Realm, many things about it were forgotten by the cultivation world. Of course, there were also other reasons. Because the Heaven Realm was isolated from other realms, such as the Divine Prefecture. So except for those at the very top, how many others could know of the situation in other realms?

No wonder the heir from the Heaven Realm was so outstanding. It turned out that his origin was equally extraordinary, and the history of the Heaven Realm had once been glorious.

This was why the Heaven Realm was able to locate the ruins of the Old Heaven Court and occupy the site.

The group of people continued on their way, heading towards their destination. They shuttled through the void quickly.

...

At this time, in the location where the Old Heaven Court used to be, countless cultivators had already gathered; they had come from every which side on this ancient continent.

The news had spread before this gathering that Donghuang Imperial Palace from the Divine Prefecture intended to compete for the relic of the Old Heaven Court. And now, the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture had arrived and entered the ruins.

In the outer perimeters of the ruins, there was nothing left in the periphery, as they had gleaned a long time ago. In front of the place where the cultivators gathered, a ladder reached beyond the sky. There were ancient palaces and temples at the other end of the ladder, but all were dilapidated in appearance. There were also stone pillars that seemed to support this corner of the sky, which formed a magnificent picture.

The ruins of the Old Heaven Court were just above. They had been occupied by the cultivators from the Heaven Realm. For those who were standing below and looking up at the Old Heaven Court’s ruins, they could still vaguely sense an ancient aura and a sacred coercion that fell straight from the sky.

“Old Heaven Court!”

All the cultivators were moved in their hearts. Before that, many of them only dared to look from a distance and not get so close to it. Although the Heaven Realm kept a low profile, it did not mean that they were weaker than anyone else.

Now, with Donghuang Imperial Palace clearing the way, these cultivators felt much more encouraged to venture below these ruins and look up to this sacred place.

Deva was the leader of the Eight Legions under the Heavenly Path and the strongest among the eight. Therefore, as one of the Eight Legions, Deva was of particular interest to those in the know. It was precisely for this reason that Donghuang Imperial Palace was here again to contend for the land that contained the relics of Deva—the Old Heaven Court.

Out in the front, a group of people stood quietly as they raised their heads to look at the ladder that extended beyond the sky. Though this group was quiet. No one dared to underestimate them. The aura that inadvertently permeated from them was top-level, and just by standing there, they had formed an invisible domain. As they did not speak, the space was steeped in silence.

The person in the lead was of unparalleled grace, whose radiant beauty was beyond compare, just like that of the Jiutian Goddess. This was none other than the only begotten daughter of Donghuang the Great—Donghuang Diyuan.

The cultivators from the Imperial Palace of the Divine Prefecture had arrived, and Donghuang Diyuan had personally led them here. Among those behind them were also major figures from the Divine Prefecture. It was as if they were there to support and cheer for Donghuang Diyuan.

Of course, it was not just the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture either. In the distance, many people were standing in the void, looking down below.

With so many cultivators that had already gathered, the status of those who were standing in the void could easily be guessed.

These were the cultivators who belonged to imperial-level forces that had come to watch the battle when they received the news.

Of course, it was anyone’s guess if they merely intended to watch the battle from the sidelines.

If the Imperial Palace of the Divine Prefecture coveted the ruins of the Old Heaven Court, would the other forces feel any differently?

Ye Futian and the others also rushed over, but they slowed down though they were still very far away. Then, they moved forward slowly until they arrived above this area. Their presence attracted a lot of attention as well. After all, Ye Futian was a controversial figure, and he was very well-known in this ancient world.

As cultivators from many directions looked at Ye Futian, he was looking in the direction of the ladder in front of him. He thought it was indeed a relic left by Deva. It was such an astounding place.

During these years, when he was in retreat, the strength of the cultivators from Heaven Realm must have risen to a higher level.

“They are coming!” A group of cultivators now stepped down from the ladder, walking down from the heavens. The scene was as if the gods had descended.

Ye Futian watched this scene and found it like a painting, stunning beyond description.

Once again, he had seen the mysterious cultivator, the heir of the Heavenly Emperor Realm. He could sense that the other’s temperament seemed to have undergone yet another change. These past few years, he had occupied the ruins of the Old Heaven Court and must have inherited the power of some great existences’ wills. How could he not have improved by leaps and bounds? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

Ye Futian was more curious about the level of strength he had been able to reach in his cultivation.

And Donghuang Diyuan: what level of strength had she been able to reach in her cultivation?

He wondered whether they would see the true strengths of these two in today’s confrontation.

As those cultivators came down the ladder, Donghuang Diyuan looked up at them and asked, “The people from the Heaven Realm have been cultivating here for quite some time. Now, do you mind vacating the relics of the Old Heaven Court? The Divine Prefecture is quite interested in this location, and we would like to cultivate in the Old Heaven Court. Could Heaven Realm relinquish this space to us?”

Above the ladder, the divine light sprinkled down, and the cultivators from the Heaven Realm stood in the sky above. Then looked down at Donghuang Diyuan and her party below, and the coercion they exuded was no less than those from the Divine Prefecture.

The young man who was in the lead—the heir of the Heaven Realm—looked at Donghuang Diyuan and asked, “Will the Divine Prefecture be willing to use the relic of Naga to make an exchange?”

He asked directly, without frills. Donghuang Diyuan wanted the relic of the Old Heaven Court; would she be willing to exchange for it with the relic of Naga?

“Yes.” Donghuang Diyuan responded succinctly, which shocked the cultivators who were surrounding them. It seemed that the cultivators from Donghuang Imperial Palace had almost finished their cultivation at the relic of Naga. They now set their eyes on the Old Heaven Court.

Donghuang Diyuan was willing to trade it for the relic of Naga.

“If Princess Diyuan feels that the relic from the Old Heaven Court is more precious than Naga, then know that is also the opinion of the Heaven Realm. I’m afraid Princess Diyuan will be disappointed.” The young man in the void appeared polite and responded accordingly. His question was not an expression of his intention to trade but to drive the point that the Old Heaven Court relic was far more valuable.

There was no problem with this train of thought. However, if Donghuang Imperial Palace intend to take the relic of the Old Heaven Court by force, could the Heaven Realm be able to hold them off?

“The relic of the Old Heaven Court will definitely be mine,” Donghuang Diyuan raised her head and said to the cultivators of the Heaven Realm above the ladder. Her eyes were extremely determined and she was confident that she would prevail.

This surprised many people. The princess of the Divine Prefecture seemed to be unusually interested in the Old Heaven Court.

The cultivators from other imperial-level forces watched everything quietly. They made note of what Donghuang Diyuan said, and some core figures knew the reasons behind it. They looked up at the ladder, and each of them had their own opinion.

Not just Donghuang Imperial Palace, but they, too, wanted to go up the ladder and see what was left in the ruins of the Old Heaven Court.

“So, Princess Diyuan wants to fight?” The young man lowered his head to look at Donghuang Diyuan, who was below.

Donghuang Diyuan did not respond, but there was a powerful fighting will emerging from her, and she was not alone. All the cultivators from Donghuang Imperial Palace exuded a terrifying aura, which soared into the firmament. It roared as it continued up the ladder. The fighting will expressed by them was simply astounding.

Could the Heaven Realm stop Donghuang Imperial Palace?

Many cultivators retreated carefully. When they felt that terrifying aura, they understood that if this confrontation turned into a war, the destructive power would be unimaginable.. Even the surrounding areas would be greatly affected. It would be better for anyone whose cultivation was not on that level to stay behind, thereby using stronger cultivators at the front to act as a buffer!
