The reconstruction of the Heavenly Mandate Academy was soon to be completed. After all, it was an easy task for top figures to rebuild an academy.
Moreover, the Heavenly Mandate Academy became bigger and grander after its reconstruction. The cultivators that were sent away were brought back to the academy. The alliance forces also gathered. The Heavenly Mandate City seemed to have regained its previous glory and liveliness. The disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Academy returned to the academy while countless other cultivators in the Realm yearned to be accepted by them.
The previous battle was too awe-inspiring. Rumor has it that ancient mysterious Great Emperor level figures were also present and that the body of a Great Emperor had appeared, controlled by Ye Futian. The cultivators of the top forces of three major Realms combined had not been able to take down Ye Futian.
Many people were moved by this. The Heavenly Mandate Academy had truly been through a lot. Although it had not been established for very long, it had faced numerous tribulations. The same could also be said for Ye Futian. He was one with the Heavenly Mandate Academy and had faced multiple trials. Yet, he always seemed to be able to weather the storm.
Now, besides the forces of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path, even the cultivators from the outside world could not kill him.
The Heavenly Mandate Academy also released news that Ye Futian now controlled the teachings of Great Emperor Ziwei. He was now the master of the Ziwei Segmentum and was crowned the Ziwei Imperial Palace Palace Lord.
The members of the Heavenly Mandate Realm were in awe. Ye Futian was considered the most legendary figure in the history of the Heavenly Mandate Realm. His legend was also still being written. No one knew what heights he would reach in the future.
They wondered whether they would see his silhouette standing at the top of the world. Many cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Realm had a faint sense of anticipation. They hoped that they could witness this legend being born from the Heavenly Mandate Realm.
Right now, the situation was lively in the Heavenly Mandate Academy. All the alliance forces gathered, and all who had left returned. They were somewhat emotional witnessing the current situation of the academy. They had never imagined that the Heavenly Mandate Academy would rise again from adversity and become the most stable force in the Original Realm. The academy was now the hottest topic discussed by many outsiders.
The Heavenly Mandate Academy would soon become the number one force in the Original Realm.
Moreover, this was not an exaggeration. It was a soon-to-be fact.
All the cultivators from the alliance forces, such as the Nantian Divine Kingdom ruled by Emperor Nan, Dou tribe, Yuanyang clan, Xiao clan, and the Divine Palace, were thrilled. The status of the Heavenly Mandate Academy had totally changed after this calamity. The battle was significant since it caused the power structure of the Original Realm to be completely overwritten.
Right at the moment, many cultivators traversed across space and arrived outside of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. They halted in midair once they approached the academy. Then, they landed and stared at the academy, which had been rebuilt. They had complicated looks on their faces.
“The cultivators from the Sky Reaching School have come to visit the Heavenly Mandate Academy,” a voice called out loudly. The cultivators from the Sky Reaching School were here.
The cultivators in the Heavenly Mandate Academy went silent for a moment. Then, a voice responded, “What business do you have with us?”
This voice was from Lord Taixuan.
“We’re here to extend a formal apology,” said the hierophant of the Sky Reaching School. “The Sky Reaching School was involved in the matter which occurred over these past few years. We were wrong. So, we’re here to apologize and to congratulate the Heavenly Mandate Academy for your reconstruction.” In moments like this, even if the other party were top cultivators, it was impossible for them not to admit their wrongdoings.
If they did not apologize to the Heavenly Mandate Academy, they might be eradicated by the academy when the latter came to settle the score. Another outcome would be them hiding somewhere remote in the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path, never to appear again.
“Martial God Clan is here to extend our apology!” another voice cried. Many parties arrived one by one. These top forces from the Original Realm were here to visit the academy or apologize for their previous wrongdoings. In just a short amount of time, the outside of the Heavenly Mandate Academy was crowded with cultivators from all over.
The cultivators in the Heavenly Mandate City felt their hearts stirred when they looked at this scene. This was the outcome brought forth by the terrifying battle. The Heavenly Mandate Realm seemed to have become the center of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path. All the forces here either came to pay homage or to extend their apology.
Most likely, all the forces in the Original Realm had realized that the current situation in the Original Realm was completely different. The Heavenly Mandate Academy would become a bona fide superpower, which ruled over the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path.
In the Heavenly Mandate Academy, the various cultivators naturally also heard these voices. They looked towards the outskirts with cold looks on their faces. The other forces finally knew that they needed to come and offer their apologies.
Back then, how had these forces treated the Heavenly Mandate Academy? They participated in multiple raids and wanted to kill Ye Futian and completely eradicate the Heavenly Mandate Academy.
Now, would a simple apology suffice to settle the score?
“How shall we deal with them?” Lord Taixuan asked the various cultivators. Before him were the alliance members of the various top forces such as Emperor Nan and the others.
Now, they had to consider how they would deal with the various forces. Were they going to write off their wrongs?
“Shen clan has already disbanded. The Upper Worlds Shen clan has left with a group of members, and the other cultivators of Shen clan have dispersed on their own,” said Emperor Nan. Everyone understood why the Shen clan had disbanded. They knew that the Heavenly Mandate Academy couldn’t spare the Shen clan and the other large forces that stood with Golden Divine Nation.
If the Shen clan did not disband, it would certainly be destroyed. So, such an ending for them was inevitable.
“It is the same in Golden Divine Nation. There was a civil war, and many people died. The nation has completely fallen,” someone said.
The forces that had not disbanded and those whose top figures were not killed in the battle still had a sliver of hope. They came to apologize with the hope that the Heavenly Mandate Academy would spare them.
“We naturally cannot easily let the other forces go free,” said Sky River Great Elder in a cold tone. How could they get off so easily? Before this, these forces wanted to eliminate them. Now that they came to offer their apologies, how could the Heavenly Mandate Academy write it off like that?
“Hmm,” responded Lord Taixuan as he nodded his head. He continued, “We will wait for Futian to return and decide their fates.”
As he said this, he turned and said to the people outside, “All of you, leave for today.”
When the various forces heard the words of Lord Taixuan, they felt uneasy. None of them left. They remained outside the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Other forces of the Original Realm also arrived one after another. Some forces, who had not participated in going against the Heavenly Mandate Academy, were instead invited inside.
The cultivators in the distance saw the various forces of the Original Realm arriving one after another. It seemed that they were bearing witness to history in the making. From this day forth, the Heavenly Mandate Academy would be the top cultivation holy land of the Original Realm.
…
Ye Futian was naturally unaware that all this was happening in the Original Realm. In the starry cultivation court of the Ziwei Segmentum, Ye Futian’s figure was floating among the vast starry sky. Endless starlight shone down on his figure. It was extremely bright, as though he was enshrouded in divine halos.
Emperor Xi and the others stood below, watching Ye Futian. Emperor Xi exclaimed, “The starlight is actually healing him. It is so miraculous.”
“I heard that this place contains the will of Great Emperor Ziwei. It seems that it is true,” added Millet Emperor, who stood beside him. They could all sense that the starlight raining down from the starry sky was actually repairing Ye Futian’s damaged spiritual soul. This scene was astonishing even for people of their cultivation Plane. They had never witnessed such a scene before.
“Hmm,” responded Emperor Xi as he nodded his head. “No wonder Renhuang Chen brought him here. From the looks of it, it won’t take long before he is as good as new!”
