Chapter 2776   Chat

Ye Futian understood what Qi Xuangang was trying to imply. After all, he had been walking a different path due to his conflict with Divine Prefecture and Donghuang the Great.

He seemed to have become the ally of Dark World and Devil World currently.

Devil World and Dark World emerged themselves in the world as destroyers. They invaded Divine Prefecture to stir up the War of the Six Realms. Although each of them had their reasons, it was an undisputed truth.

“Teacher, what is your opinion about the Six Realms and the Six Great Emperors?” Ye Futian asked. Since they talked about this topic, he became interested in knowing Qi Xuangang’s thoughts on this subject. Although his cultivation level was way higher than his master’s, his foresight might not be as good as his teacher’s.

“There is no right and wrong about someone’s standpoint. However, the result of it is a whole new ball game altogether,” Qi Xuangang explained. “Devil World and Dark World may have their standing on this subject. Devil Emperor and Dark Sovereign have the things they want and need to do. After all, everyone has their responsibility to bear. They have their decisions to make and things to consider. However, Devil World’s invasion in Divine Prefecture did start a war. On the other hand, Dark World’s conduct is worse than the former. I believe you still remember its attack in 3,000 Realms of the Great Path.”

“I got it.” Ye Futian nodded. “I’ve never once thought that I belong to their side. Hence, I stirred a conflict up with Dark World a while

ago.”

His teacher must have worried that he would stand by their side and play a part in perpetuating their evil deeds.

“The forces of Divine Prefecture are to be called out as well. The six Ancient God Clans, with Divine Prefecture as their head, had invaded Ziwei Segmentum countless times. Besides, several Buddhist forces were not playing nice with you as well. Their deeds could never be erased completely. I did not know about your conflict with Donghuang the Great. So, I will not ask you to return good for evil. You will repay a favor with kindness; you will get even with someone for the harm caused to you. One should always segregate gratitude and resentment well. Yet, it would help if you never lost your moral compass. Don’t ever lose sight of yourself.

“As for the Six Great Emperors, I know a thing or two about them. I cultivated in the land under the governance of Divine Prefecture before, so I’ve heard things about Donghuang Diyuan. I am not sure what happened between Emperor Ye Qing and him in the past. So, I will refrain from further comments. After he ended the upheaval in Divine Prefecture, he wanted to see martial art and cultivation thrive and hoped for the cultivators to assess better cultivation methods. I believe that part is true,” Qi Xuangang continued, “Everyone has a different personality. There is almost no one with absolute good or evil personality. Observing someone from a different perspective will lead you to a different conclusion. Of course, these are all the things that I see and understand. The remaining Great Emperors are legends. Speaking of which, how many of them have you met before? What do you think of them?”

“Devil Emperor reigns in Devil Abyss. He is a pure demonic cultivator. He has a strong obsession with breaking the shackle of imprisonment by Heavenly Path in Devil World. He wanted to free their bondage and lead Devil World out of Devil Abyss,” Ye Futian said. “Dark Sovereign might have a dark past. Thus, he became pessimistic like he is now. He, too, has a powerful fixation. He thinks that the world is full of hypocrites and darkness. So it needs to be reformed. He believes that true light can only exist from absolute darkness.”

“I don’t know much about the other three Great Emperors,” Ye Futian clarified. After all, he did not come in contact much with Lord of All Buddhas, Human Ancestor, and Evil Emperor.

“Okay.” Qi Xuangang bowed his head. “Those who have reached the pinnacle in cultivation must have extremely firm convictions in their hearts. Their beliefs are so strong that it is unshakeable. They believe that their ideology is the only truth. So do Devil Emperor and Dark Sovereign.

“Should that be the case, Donghuang the Great, The Buddha, Human Ancestor, Evil Emperor, too, have their beliefs that cannot be shaken.”

“Yeah.” Ye Futian nodded in agreement. What was Donghuang the Great’s belief and conviction?

What about Human Ancestor? During the conflict, Human Ancestor declared that he did not believe in destiny. Since he was named Human Ancestor, he must have believed in himself only.

So, what about The Buddha and Evil Emperor?

“Futian, have you ever pondered about your belief? What kind of person do you want to be when you become a Great Emperor?” Qi Xuangang asked. “Me?” Ye Futian murmured. He had thought about that in the Dark Court because he overcame the dark memories that Dark Sovereign implanted into his mind. The man knew he could pull it off only because of his experience. Although he had many dark encounters in the past, he had met several people who changed the course of his life.

Among them, Hua Fengliu, Mr. Du, Sage Douzhan, and Qi Xuangang were the ones who had impacted him the most.

“What kind of person do you wish to see me become, teacher?” Ye Futian asked with a light smile.

“With your aptitude, you will surely gain enlightenment to walk the Path of the Great Emperor. I wish that you will not only be admired and feared by the people but also be revered by them and become their faith that will impact many generations to come,” Qi Xuangang answered.

“Teacher, you expect a lot from me,” Ye Futian remarked while curling the corners of his lips up.

“If you are just an average Joe, I will only wish that you will be yourself. But you are different. You can rise to the top and stand above all. When that happens, your Will will affect many people, even the world order. Hence, I ask a lot from you,” Qi Xuangang responded.

Devil Emperor, Dark Sovereign, and Donghuang the Great influenced the realms under their reigns with their Wills.

Dark Sovereign believed in absolute darkness. Hence, Dark World was born. When one stood on the summit, their mindsets and beliefs would influence more than just themselves.

“Well, this is my selfish desire, in a way,” Qi Xuangang uttered, flashing a smile.

“No.” Ye Futian shook his head. “You will always be my teacher and my pride.”

Ye Futian would never forget the extraordinary Imperial Advisor of Dali and the saying that went, “As the heaven’s movement is ever vigorous, so must a wise man ceaselessly strive.”

“Likewise,” Qi Xuangang stated while glancing at Ye Futian in contentment.

The teacher and disciple duo were equally proud of each other.

“Guess I will take my leave now,” Ye Futian announced while Qi Xuangang nodded.

“Brother, Feixue, you should stay with our teacher.” After speaking, Ye Futian went away. Yan Yuan, Feixue, and Qi Xuangang were all smiles as they looked at his silhouette. Although he did not answer yet, it was not all that important. The three of them had faith in him.

After that, Qi Xuangang and Yan Yuan went on with their chess game. The former moved one of his chess pieces strenuously.

“Will Futian reach that tier within forty years?” Yan Yuan uttered, “Even if he successfully dislodged Donghuang the Great, I believe he would not write off all the things the latter did for Divine Prefecture.”

“Yeah.” Qi Xuangang nodded. “He can differentiate past kindness from old scores; a contribution from a blunder.”magic
