This was practically… Although this was a Renhuang proving his Way, for members of the top forces of the Realms, Renhuangs were not existences that dwelt high above. Why would deities come to witness a Renhuang breaking through the Plane?
Mandate? What mandate?
The top figures of the Nine Realms had seen countless powerful existences as well as monstrous figures. They themselves were such figures. They had never seen someone blow his own horn to such an extent. Ye Futian practically had no sense of shame.
If he was a Child of Destiny, then what did Jian Qingzhu, Shen Hao and Nan Luoshen amount to?
How was it that he was the only one that saw the deities?
No one believed Ye Futian’s nonsense. However, there were some who were still suspicious of whether or not Ye Futian had obtained any divine item.
Or, he might not have been able to see anything like the others. Under that pressure, he had chosen to prove his Way and become a Renhuang, bearing the divine might.
“Did you or did you not get any divine items?” In the direction of Shen Clan, Shen Yuan asked in a cold tone as he stared at Ye Futian. He had been pathetically defeated by Ye Futian before this. Now, he had seen Ye Futian and Yu Sheng both obtain divine items with his own eyes. Some schemes naturally arose in his mind.
Ye Futian looked towards Shen Yuan and answered, “I did not.”
“Then, why did you choose to break through the Plane just now?” Shen Yuan continued pestering him.
Ye Futian swept an indifferent glance at Shen Yuan. His gaze was as though he was looking at an idiot.
Ye Futian did not answer this question. He turned and walked away.
He had already answered the question of whether or not he had obtained something. No one believed him; instead they continued asking him the same question again. When he gave the opposite answer, they still did not believe him.
If that was so, why did he need to answer them?
No matter how he responded, it would be meaningless.
“Whether you believe the former or the latter, suit yourself,” Ye Futian said plainly. He was not answering Shen Yuan, but instead said this to the crowd.
Asking was meaningless.
Responding was also meaningless.
They would believe whatever they wanted to believe.
Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes. He had accepted that Ye Futian had not obtained anything at all. In the situation just now, everyone had their eyes shut. Even Jian Qingzhu had questioned Ye Futian. It was obvious that even Jian Qingzhu could not see anything at that time. Hence, Shen Yuan would of course not believe Ye Futian to be more outstanding than everyone here.
However, the fact that Ye Futian had broken through the Plane made Shen Yuan’s imagination run wild.
Or it might be that Shen Yuan did not covet what Ye Futian had obtained later, but rather the divine item that Ye Futian had obtained prior to this.
Shen Yuan turned his gaze towards Shen Hao. Right now, Shen Yuan could not decide which was the truth.
Before this, Shen Yuan had lost to Ye Futian. Now that Ye Futian had proven his Way, his Divine Wheel was at least at the Celestial Level and could possibly be flawless. Counting in the Swordmaster of Lihen, unless Shen Hao joined in the fight, otherwise the Shen Clan would not be able to deal with Ye Futian’s group.
Jian Qingzhu did not ask anymore questions. It seemed that there was no way to clear out the truth of the closing of the Heavenly Palace. It might have been due to God’s relic itself. The ten of them had obtained divine items. It might be that this Heavenly Palace only had ten divine items. It was hard to tell.
The others who had obtained divine items also did not inquire further. They each had their own spoils that were also treasures compatible with their own cultivation methods. This already made them very satisfied. This trip had not been in vain. Once they left this place, they would certainly study the divine items in detail and incorporate it into their training.
Each person had their own fortunes. Once they obtained their own share, it was impossible for them to want to seize the shares of others. Aside from themselves, there were another nine people. Would they seize all of the divine items for themselves?
If they only focused on one person, would other people have the same idea as them and come over to seize theirs?
Each person had their own fateful encounter. They would sooner or later face each other on their path of cultivation and see who would emerge at the top of the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Path.
Those who were scheming were all those who had not obtained divine items. This included the crowd aside from the ten of them, such as Shen Yuan from the Shen Clan and the cultivators of the other forces.
However, the ability of Ye Futian, the Swordmaster of Lihen and the rest of their group was a powerful deterrent. Even if anyone had any ideas, they would most likely be unable to successfully seize the divine items from them. The battle prior to this had already proven many things.
“How are you doing?” The Swordmaster of Lihen revealed a look of anticipation in his gaze when he saw Ye Futian walking over. With Ye Futian’s talent, the Divine Wheel of the Great Path that he forged should be a flawless one. Ye Futian did not need to reconstruct his Great Path like the Swordmaster of Lihen had done.
With a smile from Ye Futian, the Swordmaster of Lihen understood what he meant. As he had expected, Ye Futian had forged a flawless Divine Wheel.
“Swordmaster of Lihen, after we leave this place, let’s go find His Highness to have a few drinks,” Ye Futian said with a smile.
“Erm…” The Swordmaster of Lihen was stunned. He then smiled at Ye Futian and said, “You rascal. Even though you are a Renhuang, His Highness is still His Highness.”
As the Swordmaster of Lihen said this, he glanced over at Xia Qingyuan. He did not know how far the relationship between Ye Futian and the princess had progressed. Back then, the princess had watched as Ye Futian ascended Lihen Heaven’s 33rd Layer of Heaven. The Swordmaster of Lihen naturally had hopes for the two of them.
Xia Qingyuan also glared fiercely at Ye Futian. What did he mean when he said he was going to have drinks with her father?
“Of course, I am only going to find His Highness to have a drink with him. I have no other intentions,” Ye Futian said with a smile when he saw Xia Qingyuan’s murderous gaze.
“Hmm.” The Swordmaster of Lihen nodded his head. His Highness had been at the Renhuang Plane for many years. Although he was a lower-level Renhuang, his Plane should still be higher than their own. His Divine Wheel was at least at the peak of the second tier. It was even possible that he had a third tier Divine Wheel.
However, the level of Emperor Xia’s Divine Wheel should not be high. Although the Swordmaster of Lihen had not fought Emperor Xia before, he could faintly sense that flawless Divine Wheels had a suppressive effect on other Divine Wheels. That meant that he had a more powerful Great Path. If he was against someone with a flawed Divine Wheel, he might be able to take on his opponent, even though his opponent was on a higher Plane than he was.
Of course, the Swordmaster of Lihen needed to actually pull it off before he could know for sure. Although he had previously slain Renhuangs, they were all Renhuangs who had just reached the Renhuang Plane for the first time in God’s relic.
“Yaya.” Ye Futian looked at Yaya beside him.
Yaya raised her head slightly and looked at him.
“I got you your present,” Ye Futian said and smiled.
Along the way, when facing many life-and-death situations, if it wasn’t for Yaya protecting him, he would have already died many times. He had long considered Yaya to be his own sister. He would not hesitate to give her even a divine item. The moment he obtained the divine item, he immediately thought of Yaya.
“Oh,” Yaya calmly responded. Ye Futian blinked. Was that all to her reaction?
He did not feel any sense of accomplishment.
“Let’s go. While we still have time, let’s see whether we can cultivate here,” Ye Futian said. This relic was special and different from the outside world.
As he said this, he immediately headed off in the direction of the Divine Tree.
The rest saw Ye Futian leave. No one chased after him.
“Let us also go and have a look.” someone said. Even though the Heavenly Palace had already closed, they still had some time. They should take a look and see whether there were other fateful encounters in other corners of God’s relic. They did not need to waste time here.
Dou Zhao followed behind Ye Futian. He mysteriously walked up to Ye Futian’s side and asked, “Did you actually have anything to do with the Heavenly Palace closing?”
“I have already said. Donghuang the Great awakened and bestowed me his teachings. The various deities bore witness to this and my breakthrough was mandated by the Heavens,” Ye Futian replied.
The corner of Dou Zhao’s mouth twitched, saying, “There is no one else here. Can’t you tell us the truth?”
“I am telling you the truth, but you don’t believe me.” Ye Futian didn’t bother to elaborate further. He was not lying.
Seeing Ye Futian’s expression, Dou Zhao knew that he had been ignored. Dou Zhao could never fully understand Ye Futian.
“Who are you exactly? Where are you from?” Dou Zhao muttered. Was this fellow really from the Tianhe Realm’s Sky River Temple?
Why did Dou Zhao feel like the origins of Ye Futian were somewhat suspicious?
His talent was astonishingly high.
Ye Futian brought Yaya to the willow tree, where Gui Zang was cultivating beneath just now. This old willow tree seemed ordinary, but Gui Zang had comprehended the Way and transformed into a Buddha here. Surely, this was a great place for meditating.
“Yaya, sit under the tree,” Ye Futian ordered.
Yaya sat down under the willow tree obediently. She raised her head to look at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian sat opposite Yaya, saying, “When I received the divine item, I have refined it into my will. You need my guidance in order to control it.”
Yaya nodded her head. Then, a dazzling Sword Will lit up from Ye Futian’s gabella and it entered into Yaya’s mind along with his will.
“I will assist you in refining it,” a voice sounded in Yaya’s mind. In an instant, both their gabellas were seemingly connected by a streak of brilliant sword flash. The willow tree waved, stirring up a rustle. A formless Sword Will was born out of the blue in their surroundings and it gushed towards Yaya.
The corner of Dou Zhao’s mouth twitched. It was a divine item excavated from the Heavenly Palace. The divine item might very possibly contain the will of Donghuang the Great. Ye Futian gave it away so easily?
Why hadn’t he known Ye Futian sooner…
It was not too late for him to get close to Ye Futian now, right?
Ye Futian presented the opportunity in Sword City to the Swordmaster of Lihen, allowing the latter to forge a flawless Divine Wheel. Then, he passed the teachings of the statue to Yu Sheng. Now, he gave Yaya the divine item of the Heavenly Palace. It seemed like he had also gifted Xia Qingyuan a fateful encounter.
When he thought of all these…
Dou Zhao had made up his mind. From now on, Ye Futian would be his sworn brother. He would not leave Ye Futian no matter what. He was the dignified descendant of Fighting God; since he had acknowledged Ye Futian as his sworn brother… they would share all their resources in the future.
After a while, Ye Futian opened his eyes. Yaya’s body was shining. Endless Sword Will descended and encircled her, forming a cocoon of swords.
The willow tree swayed and rustled. The leaves moved without any wind. Gradually, Ye Futian and the rest could sense a mysterious aura coming from the willow tree.
This rocking willow tree seemed to have stirred up endless will, causing a storm of the Great Path to suddenly appear in this vast space. The storm surged frenziedly towards Yaya.
“What tree is this?” Dou Zhao was shocked. The slender branches of the willow tree draped down, enveloping Yaya’s body. The Great Path descended continuously and formed some sort of resonance with Yaya’s body.
Ye Futian could vaguely see an illusory figure. It was none other than the ethereal shadow of the Emperor.
“Has Donghuang the Great cultivated here before?” Dou Zhao asked Ye Futian, who was standing beside him.
“Hmm.” Ye Futian nodded.
Hopefully, Yaya would have a similar fateful encounter like that of the Swordmaster of Lihen.
As time passed, Yaya was completely enveloped by the willow tree and the unceasing will.
At the same time, countless streaks of light suddenly brightened up God’s relic. Doors of Space suddenly appeared at every corner of the relic. It was as though a spatial divine item had connected God’s relic with the outside world.
Most likely only Donghuang the Great had the ability to create such a scene.
When everyone saw these Doors of Space, they understood that it was time to leave.
In God’s relic, many people raised their heads in yearning, attempting to search for an opportunity at the very last minute. However, in the end, they crossed the Doors of Space and disappeared from sight.
One by one, the cultivators left. Those who left first were people who were most disappointed with the outcome of their trip.
“It’s time to go,” Ye Futian murmured while staring at Yaya. If they were given a little more time to cultivate, it would be the best. Perhaps Yaya would have the opportunity to prove her Way in God’s relic. However, from the looks of it, it was too late now.
Sword Will surged. Yaya’s figure broke out of the cocoon of swords. The Sword Will she emanated was sharp and intense. She looked at Ye Futian.
From Yaya’s gaze, Ye Futian knew that even though she had yet to prove her Way, she was not far from doing so.
“Let’s head out,” Ye Futian said. After that, those who followed him started flying up into the sky.
Dou Zhao took a step upwards. When he was in mid-air, he suddenly looked down. Then, he turned around and walked up to the willow tree. He hugged the enormous trunk of the willow tree with both his arms. His arms could only cover a small portion of the trunk. Without any premonition, he exerted his strength.
Rumble. An intense sound could be heard. The willow tree shook as though it had sensed danger.
However, Dou Zhao did not have any sympathy for it. His body shone with divine light. He activated the will of the Fighting God and directly pulled the willow tree from the ground.
Under the wide-eyed look of Ye Futian who was in mid-air, Dou Zhao uprooted the willow tree and then carried the huge willow tree as he traveled in the air.
“Impressive. Impressive…” Ye Futian stared at Dou Zhao in adoration. As expected of the dignified descendant of the Fighting God!
