Chapter 458: Arriving In The Middle Heavens

Siu! Siu! Siu!

Three figures rapidly flew across the Lower Heavens, heading towards the Barren Lands.

This was where the path to the Middle Heavens existed.

After passing through the Barren Lands, there came a mystical mountain range draped in thick fog.

Beyond this fog was the Middle Heavens.

The reason why it was categorized as a whole different realm was because of the high density of Qi beyond the fog.

The fog wasn't long. Rather it was a thin dense veil, making it look like a white wall.

This wall had an amazing and unexplainable property.

Any person born in the Lower Heavens couldn't cross it unless their cultivation realm was in the Nascent Soul Realm.

To the cultivators below this realm, this fog was really a white wall.

They wouldn't be able to enter this place.

Another thing to keep note of was that the mountain range consisted of about eight to nine visible peaks grouped together.

And this group of huge mountains was then covered in this fog which got denser as they got closer towards the center.

At some point, the fog would be so dense that it would be hard even to see our own hands.

But instead of panic, it would be a moment of rejoicing because that meant one had reached the Middle Heavens.

Slowly, the thick fog would then dissipate, and we would find ourselves on a huge platform between two mountains.

This was the Ascension Platform.

When someone from the Lower Heavens ascended to the Middle Heavens or anyone else who came back from the Lower Heavens, this platform was the place where they would first land, no matter from which part of the mountain range in the Lower Heavens they entered from.

This was why this place was filled with scouts and cultivators from various major clans and sects of the Middle Heavens.

It was usually to see if someone talented from the Lower Heavens had ascended or who had come back from the Lower Heavens.

Today, however, was a commotion.

The legendary Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun made an appearance.

Mainly known as the person with the most powerful background and the child of prophecy, Ye Tian Yun had become famous before his first cry.

Ye Tian Yun's father, Ye Tian Xuan, was a highly revered personality.

And as the ruler of the whole Middle Heavens, the name of the Great Ye Clan was always held in awe and reverence.

Even though not many had witnessed Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun's talent in cultivation, many people believed he would be the next Heavenly Emperor.

Despite the fact this was a feat that even Emperor Ye Tian Xuan failed to achieve, there was rarely anyone who was skeptical of Ye Tian Yun.

Ye Tian Yun's backing, the Great Ye Clan, was an unshakable existence.

The Heavenly Oracle Sect always claimed that it would be Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun who would one day become the Heavenly Emperor in the future.

His name was already in the Devil Sect's Most Wanted List even though he hadn't stepped much out of his palace.

These facts strengthened the beliefs of the people in the prophecy even more.

"Crown Prince Ye Tian Yun is here!" 

Everyone in the Ascension Stage paused when Ye Tian Yun walked out of the fog alongside Butler Liu and Ling Qing'er.

"Why is he here?" Almost everyone was confused and shocked by his sudden appearance.

Almost no one present at the scene had seen Ye Tian Yun in person before; however, they were well aware of his facial features, and seeing Butler Liu with him reassured their doubts.

"Greetings, Crown Prince!" 

The whole valley between the mountains echoed.

Everyone present at the scene had cupped their fists.

Butler Liu smiled proudly, staring at the scene.

Even Ye Tian Yun was a bit taken back, even though this wasn't the first such a thing had happened.

'But it always gives me this weird satisfactory feeling.'

No one hates to get revered by thousands of people.

Ye Tian Yun took a deep breath and cupped his fists.

"Greetings, Everyone. I hope your day has been good."

He displayed a sincere smile on his face and glanced from one side to the other.

Of course, it was on purpose.

He didn't wish to show himself as an arrogant person.

When you're famous, one action can decide the opinion hundreds of people have of you.

In his previous life, Ye Tian Yun had usually acted indifferent and cold towards such incidents.

That was a big mistake on his part.

He had failed to understand the value of public opinion.

Some might say, 'Fuck others, let your fists do the talking.'

Well, it might be true in some cases, but Ye Tian Yun's case was a bit special.

When talking about him, there were two words added before people even spoke his name - 'Crown Prince.'

He was the next ruler.

And he had to show himself as a good and approachable person.

Currently, his simple greeting back was enough to finish this job.

The scouts, vendors, and many of the rando cultivators immediately had a good impression of the Crown Prince.

Many even cupped their fists and spoke a few words.

"The day was going alright, Crown Prince, but seeing you in person just made it great!"

Someone from the crowd spoke.

"Haha! Yes!"

"Yes!"

Many began to nod their heads.

Ye Tian Yun couldn't pinpoint who, so he simply looked in the direction of the voice and said, "Well, the same could be said for me too. You guys just made my day."

Many people smiled at this, and few even came forward to personally greet Ye Tian Yun.

He was no different from any other celebrity; in fact, many knew that once his cultivation talent was revealed, he would surpass all his peers and make a name for himself.

As a matter of fact, some intelligent scouts and informants were even trying to get a hunch about Ye Tian Yun's cultivation realm.

Alas, they couldn't feel anything from him.

Ye Tian Yun gave them unfathomable feelings.
