The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2369: We Meet Again

“Who is she?”

The cultivators from Divine Prefecture secretly marveled at her. As they looked at Ye Futian, it seemed that her eyes were fastened on him as well.

Ye Futian was also looking at her. This white-haired Renhuang who stood high above the void, the premier genius talent of Heavenly Mandate Realm, the College Chief of Heavenly Mandate Academy, Palace Lord of Ziwei Imperial Palace, master of Four Corner Village, and the heir of Ziwei the Great, Shenjia the Great Emperor, as well as Shenyin the Great. At this moment, in those arrogant eyes of his, there was nothing but endless tenderness. An extremely brilliant smile appeared at the corners of his eyes.

The smile was so pure and the eyes so clear. It was hard to imagine that someone who had cultivated to a level such could still be capable of such pure emotions. Even those who were not connected understood that the woman who appeared must be Ye Futian’s beloved.

The beautiful eyes of the goddess who appeared in the void stared back at Ye Futian. The two looked at each other across the void, sharing an infinite affection for one another. She smiled with such beauty, without that coldness or pride, and without that ethereal temperament. All that was left was pure and simple beauty.

At this moment, Ye Futian felt as if they were lifetimes away. In his mind, he couldn’t help but think of the time when they laid eyes on each other for the first time.

He knew that the one whom he had loved so deeply had finally returned to him as her whole self. Even though she had gone through the ordeal of the walk-in, she had found herself and come back to him.

“She is back.”

From the direction of the Heavenly Mandate Academy, Lord Taixuan whispered to himself. More importantly, this was not the Hua Jieyu he had known from the Heavenly Mandate Academy once upon a time, but the Hua Jieyu that Ye Futian had always known and loved. She was quite different from when he had met her before.

Back then, they had cautioned Ye Futian to be careful of Hua Jieyu. Back then, in the realm of Brahma’s Pure Sky, the Empress’s cultivation was at the peak of Renhuang, and the method of her cultivation was something peculiar. She had a secret method that had since been lost, and no one knew of its origin. Known as the 3,000 Realms of One Mind, it had the means to “walk-in” or seize another person’s physical entity for the user’s own purpose. They believed then that Hua Jieyu had been used by the Brahma’s Pure Sky Empress, and they worried that Ye Futian might be entrapped and also end up being used by her.

Hua Jieyu, at that time, was indeed an unfamiliar entity to Ye Futian, like a blank piece of paper. Ye Futian had been quietly guarding and looking after her.

But now, seeing Hua Jieyu’s smile, the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy realized that the wife Ye Futian had been missing had finally returned to him.

It seemed that she had been right in heading over to Divine Prefecture at the time. And it seemed that in the battle where Ye Futian perished, she had already begun to recover from her trauma and had become self-aware. Not only did Brahma’s Pure Sky Empress fail to take over her consciousness, but she was also ultimately overtaken by Hua Jieyu instead.

That year, the group that went to the Divine Prefecture had already returned to the Heavenly Mandate Academy, except Hua Jieyu. According to them, Hua Jieyu left to follow her own cultivation path, and no one knew where she went.

Today, she returned alone, precisely when Ye Futian was besieged and suppressed by all the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture.

Ye Futian couldn’t help but smile. In addition to the gentleness in his eyes, there was also a touch of sadness. He wasn’t sad about this moment but for all the years that had passed. In all those years, they had been apart more often than they had been together. Now they met again—after more than 20 years.

“Fox, it’s been a long time!” Ye Futian smiled brightly and reached out with his hand. Even across the void, he instinctively reached out for her hand.

Hearing this familiar and yet strange term of endearment, Hua Jieyu’s eyes, which were full of bright smiles, suddenly filled with tears. Two teardrops flowed down on her ravishing visage, leaving two wet trails on that delicate face.

No one had called her “fox” for what seemed like a lifetime.

She hadn’t heard it for too many years. This was from back when they were still so young.

Now, they had experienced and been through so much together.

“It has been a long time!” Hua Jieyu smiled as she cried. She moved toward Ye Futian. This distance, short though it may be, seemed to be thousands of miles long.

After deaths and separations, she was forced to cultivate after being invaded by the Empress. In an attempt to help her reclaim her memories, Ye Futian took her to all the places they had been when they were together. However, when she woke up again, what she saw was Ye Futian besieged and slaughtered. For her, it was unspeakably traumatic.

Decades were nothing but a blink of an eye in the cultivation world. No one else could know what these two decades meant to her.

When she woke up, he was already gone.

Her body moved in the direction where Ye Futian was. Surrounded by divine light, she was so exceptionally gorgeous.

However, this happy scene was frowned upon by the cultivators from Divine Prefecture, who had laid siege on Ye Futian. They had planned to deal with Ye Futian once and for all, forcing him to release the last of his abilities so they could unearth his secrets. But just at the most crucial moment, they had been interrupted by the appearance of Hua Jieyu.

Her sudden appearance was too breathtaking to ignore. She came from outside of the firmament, surrounded by divine light, just like Jiutian Goddess descending into this world. She came with an unparalleled light. However, she clearly was not the Jiutain Goddess—a being from out of this world—but a woman who was Ye Futian’s beloved.

Moreover, under the divine light from this woman, her aura was actually rather terrifying; it was the aura of a peak Renhuang with a perfect Great Path. The divine light was so dazzling that the onlookers felt they couldn’t see anything clearly.

Ye Futian’s beloved had a higher cultivation level than him?

Ye Futian himself was already the number one genius talent in all of the Heavenly Mandate Realm. He was extremely gifted. How could it be that his beloved was even stronger than him?

The various forces in the Divine Prefecture had inquired into Ye Futian’s past and his cultivation history. They knew some things about him and that he had a wife. However, as far as their information went, Ye Futian’s wife did not seem to be an outstanding character, so they did not bother to inquire further. They didn’t know anything about Hua Jieyu and had no clue why her realm was higher than Ye Futian’s.

Only the cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy knew anything about this. They knew that Brahma’s Pure Sky Empress was the one who made Hua Jieyu.

However, even if Brahma’s Pure Sky Empress was here, this shouldn’t be the kind of aura she was capable of.

They could feel that Hua Jieyu appeared very different than how she used to.

Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu walked towards each other with smiles on their faces. It was as if everyone that surrounded them had nothing to do with them. In their eyes, there were only the two of them.

After experiencing many deaths and separations, they had finally met again after more than 20 years. They didn’t intend to be separated again.

Today, no matter who wanted to step between them, it would not happen. Not even those top enchanting figures from the Divine Prefecture could interfere.

Seeing that Hua Jieyu was about to enter this area, the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture glanced at her coldly. Soon after, the Vajra Divine Child was heard scolding her, “Get back.”

His voice sounded like a mighty bell, resonating between heaven and earth. It seemed that the divine power of the Vajra Region leaped out fiercely, slamming violently towards Hua Jieyu. SA series of Vajra Divine Seals had manifested in the space as if to vent the anger that he felt when he had been defeated by Ye Futian.

Hua Jieyu lowered her head and cast a sideways glance at the Vajra Divine Child. At this moment, those beautiful eyes that had held endless tenderness suddenly became extremely icy. Infinite divine light erupted. In an instant, this vast world seemed to stand still, and those Vajra Divine Seals stopped dead in their tracks in the void as well. The eyes of the Divine Child were filled with great terror as countless images now invaded his divine consciousness. Above the firmament, divine light showered upon him.

Boom! Hua Jieyu continued to step downward, and the Vajra Divine Child groaned as his face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
