Not long after these voices were heard, the various cultivators all retreated from Four Corner Village. Very soon, the cultivators from the outside left.

Muyun Long and the other cultivators stood at the entrance of the village. They glanced back at it. They never imagined that they would still lose in the end. Master was stronger than he had imagined. Master managed to get three extraordinary figures to acknowledge Four Corner Village. From this day forth, Four Corner Village would stand at the peak of the Shangqing Domain like the other superpowers.

Although the village still had very few cultivators, their greatest power was already enough to solidify their status.

“Let’s go,” said Muyun Long as he turned to leave. Muyun Lan looked at the village with a meaningful look. One day, he would surely return.

The villagers were somewhat elated. Master had shocked his powerful opponents. Four Corner Village could join the world and cultivate and would no longer be restricted from this day forth. They would be able to see the wider world and would no longer be confined to the village. For many of the villagers who had never seen the outside world their entire lives, it was undoubtedly something to be excited about.

“They have left,” Fang Gai said as he gazed into the distance.

“Things have finally quieted down,” Old Ma also commented. They knew more about Master’s ability than others. Of course, they were also unsure what level Master was at exactly. However, at least they knew that it was not something Nanhai Wuji could stand against.

“You lot, come over to where I am,” a voice called out from afar. Old Ma and the others knew that Master was calling them over. They bowed and replied, “Yes, Master.”

“You, come over as well,” the voice called out again. Ye Futian clearly sensed that this was directed at him. He bowed slightly and followed behind Old Ma and the others as they headed over to the private school together.

There were six people, namely Old Ma, Fang Gai, Gu Huai, s.h.i.+ Kui, Blind Tie, and Ye Futian.

In reality, the village currently had seven persons-in-charge. However, Duo Yu was still young, so he had not come along with them. Currently, these six people could represent the will of the entire village.

Once they arrived at the private school, the six of them were very respectful. They saw a figure sitting quietly on a futon after they entered and walked into the square courtyard.

This was the first time Ye Futian had met Master. Master’s sage-like body seemed somewhat ethereal. He seemed otherworldly, as though he was a deity that could not be comprehended by normal minds.

“Master,” greeted the six of them as they bowed slightly. Ye Futian also did the same. Although he was standing before Master, he still could not sense Master’s aura and could not confirm how powerful Master was. However, he knew that he was far inferior and could not compare to Master at all.

“Sit down, all of you,” Master said. The six of them nodded and sat themselves down in different spots.

“Four Corner Village will be joining the world. All of you must have been waiting for this to happen for a long time,” Master said. Fang Gai, Blind Tie, and the others did not say anything. Master seemed to have already seen through their thoughts.

Indeed, they were supportive of the village joining the world. When Muyun Long suggested that the village should join the world, no one objected. No one would be willing to be forever confined to the village once they cultivated to a certain level.

They also did not wish to see the younger generation remain in this small village forever. Even though the village was unique, this did not affect their yearning for the outside world.

“I know what all of you are thinking. Yet, do you know why I have always prevented Four Corner Village from entering the world?” Master asked.

“The time was not right,” Fang Gai replied.

“That is one reason,” Master said. “Before this, you have all seen the end result of those who left the village. Most of them perished outside. And few made it back alive. Even fewer remained outside. However, among them, the hearts of a few had already moved away from the village after seeing the prosperity of the outside world. How would they be satisfied with staying in a village? Their hearts had already changed.”

The crowd thought of Muyun Lan. Currently, he was famous in the outside world and had become an extraordinary figure in Nanhai Family. After marrying the princess of the Nanhai Family, Muyun Lan indeed had a change of heart. With such a glorious life, what he pursued now was no longer that which he pursued before.

“That was why the village had its previous laws,” Old Ma commented.

“Hmm. That is also a very important reason,” Master continued. “Before this, the village was actually an imperfect world and was also illusory. The laws of the land were also defective. This illusory world was bathed in the world of the relic. We have been living in a dual-layered s.p.a.ce all this while. Some people could sense the Way in the relic and attain the protection of the ancestors. Hence, they could cultivate. However, for the rest, if they forcefully cultivated, it would cause their cultivation to go haywire, and it would not end well. Old Ma is an exception. He died once before. However, it was a blessing in disguise as he formed his own Great Path. Yet, his cultivation stopped at that level, and he could still be consumed by it. I’ve always asked him to act cautiously. For many years, he has never displayed his ability. If Four Corner Village were to join the world under such conditions, it would have been meaningless as few people would have been able to leave.”

“Master, then what exactly has caused the laws of the village to change?” Fang Gai inquired. If it was because the ancestors had manifested, why had they done so now and not sooner?

Master advised, “You do not need to know about this in detail. It might just be that right now is the best opportunity. Now, everyone in the village can cultivate freely. Even if they don’t cultivate a flawless Great Path, it will not end in tragedy. However, as to what the village will do after it joins the world, all of you need to think carefully about it. In the future, the village will no longer be separated from the world. It will be the same as other forces and will need to develop and expand. Otherwise, others will look down on us. The people who left the village before this are good examples to learn from.”

“With Master around, what do we need to fear?” s.h.i.+ Kui said.

“For many years, I never left this place for special reasons. I have been given restrictions and cannot leave the village. Hence, you will need to depend on yourselves in the outside world,” Master continued. This caused them to be somewhat surprised.

That meant that Master could only protect those in the village. Once one left the village, Master might not be able to do anything.

“Joining the world was the collective will of yourselves and Four Corner Village. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, you should go out and see the prosperity of the world. You are destined to pay some price for doing so. From this day forth, the village is no longer the village that does not concern itself with outside matters. Instead, we need to face the conflict of the outside world. I hope that all of you can defend your decision,” Master continued.

They nodded their heads seriously. They all had stern expressions.

Master was reminding them and making sure that they were alert.

Master recommended, “Of course, with your abilities, all of you will not lose to the other top forces. However, Four Corner Village has a serious generational gap. We do not need to act too hasty. I suggest that we fortify and increase everyone’s cultivation Planes and cultivate the next generation of cultivators.”

“Understood,” Old Ma said as he nodded his head. “The juniors who inherited the divine techniques should grow very quickly.”

“Hmm, their cultivation environment is far superior to that of all of you. They will be the future of Four Corner Village,” Master said. “That is all I have to say. All of you may leave.”

As they got up, Master looked at Ye Futian and said, “You, stay.”

Ye Futian felt somewhat strange. However, he still nodded his head and remained here. The others were perplexed. They did not know what Master wanted to say to Ye Futian.

After they left, Master said to Ye Futian, “Thank you.”

Ye Futian looked at Master. He then understood what Master meant. Before this, Fang Gai had asked what had caused the change of the laws. In reality, it was because of Ye Futian; he had changed everything.

“Master, you do not need to thank me. This was all a fateful encounter,” Ye Futian replied. He himself did not have such ability; it was all because of the World Tree.

“This isn’t a coincidence. It is fate,” Master replied.

“Fate?” Ye Futian asked as he looked at Master incredulously.

Master smiled slightly as he nodded his head and said, “There are some things that I only understood after you came here. The fact that it was the right time now was because you came to Four Corner Village. All this is fate’s design.”

“I don’t understand,” Ye Futian said.

“You will naturally understand in the future.” Master didn’t explain, causing Ye Futian to be even more perplexed.

What design did fate have in store for him?

Why had Master said so?

“I will leave those children to you,” Master continued. Ye Futian did not linger on the issue. If Master did not explain it further, he naturally had his reasons for doing so.

“I will do my best,” Ye Futian said as he nodded his head.

“You may leave,” said Master. Ye Futian got up, bowed, and then left.

…

The village was peaceful. However, in the Shangqing Domain, a storm had swept up. Countless people knew that Four Corner Village had joined the world. The superpowers had also acknowledged its existence. From this day forth, the village would be another superpower in the Shangqing Domain.

For a while, countless cultivators rushed over to Four Corner Continent. However, they did not do so to enter Four Corner Village.

After they arrived, they began cultivating in Four Corner Continent. They were even prepared to settle down in the continent for the long term. Many cultivators from other continents migrated here. There were even some top forces with powerful Renhuangs who established cities in this desolate continent.

In the world of cultivation, places that were near to superpowers would undoubtedly be prosperous. In the Shangqing Domain, such a phenomenon was exceptionally obvious. In the Shangqing Domain’s Upper Nine Heavens, it was now a group of continents that were far more powerful than the countless continents beyond the Upper Nine Heavens.

Currently, Four Corner Continent was beginning to develop. If they did not seize the opportunity now, they would not have such a chance in the future.

Hence, for a long period of time after, countless cultivators migrated over. Cities were erected all over the continent!
