Days passed. Ye Futian seemed completely absorbed in cultivating to the point of obsession.
Today, on a training platform, the extremely dazzling power of Yin and Yang appeared above Ye Futian’s figure, circling him. His entire body was shining, as though a Yin Yang Diagram had appeared on his body. His figure resonated intensely with the surrounding power of the Great Path. Rumbling sounds of the Great Path kept coming from inside his body, causing the Great Path around him to resonate with him.
A brilliant sun and moon appeared at the same time. Intense currents of the Great Path spiraled around him and gradually became a frightening pattern. The pattern’s structure was extremely stable and resonated with Ye Futian’s figure. After a long time, they formed a dazzling picture. The sun and moon were in the sky, and the Yin Yang Fish circled them, completing the entire arrangement.
Vibration sounds could be heard from the palace. The gazes of many people turned towards the direction of the training platform where Ye Futian was. What commotion was this fellow causing while cultivating?
However, the crowd knew better than to disturb Ye Futian, allowing him to continue cultivating.
Beigong Ao was already used to it. No matter what earth-shattering actions Ye Futian did now, Beigong Ao would not be surprised. He had already accepted that the fellow was a monstrous existence. Let alone back in the continent where the Dongyuan Pavilion was, even in the current Penglai Continent, there was no one who could be compared to Ye Futian. No one was even qualified to be compared with him. Otherwise, with Beigong Ao’s eighth-tier cultivation, he would not willingly follow Ye Futian.
The cultivation world always prioritized one’s ability above all else.
Right then, on the training platform, Ye Futian opened his eyes. His jet-black eyes seemed to contain the light of the sun and the moon. He lifted his head and glanced at the Yin Yang Diagram in the sky. He had forged another Divine Wheel of the Great Path. However, he still needed to increase the level of this Divine Wheel.
The power of Yin and Yang complemented each other. If he supported this power with his swordsmanship, how powerful would it be? Ye Futian thought to himself. The light of divine swords emerged from the edges of the Yin Yang Diagram. The next moment, his will shifted, and the power of the Great Path in the sky above, as well as the dazzling divine light disappeared, immediately surging into Ye Futian’s body.
However, he did not leave, instead continuing to cultivate. His cultivation Plane was already that of a fourth-tier middle-level Renhuang. This meant that he already had flawless fourth-tier Divine Wheels of the Great Path. In reality, his Divine Wheels had all been proven. Now, even if he comprehended a new Divine Wheel, with the foundation of his Plane, it would still be improved very quickly.
He extended his hand and opened his palm. He had a handful of pills. Ye Futian threw the pills directly into his mouth and then swallowed them. Instantly, rumbling sounds came from inside his body. The aura of the Great Path was extremely rich. His life force was growing stronger, and his vitality also became more powerful.
The pills were too nourishing…
However, these were all the pills that he concocted himself. It would be a waste for him not to consume them. The pills that he concocted did not forcefully increase his abilities and did not have any side effects. They only fortified his foundation. Very quickly, his aura became very powerful. He continued cultivating for a period of time.
A few days later, the rumbling sounds of the Great Path in Ye Futian’s body sounded around the training platform. When the dazzling pattern of the Great Path circled him, the heavens changed color. Only then was Ye Futian satisfied with the result of his training. As he lifted his head and glanced at this new Divine Wheel of the Great Path, he smiled.
The next moment, the light of the Great Path surged into his body and disappeared without a trace. Everything returned to normal. As he stood up, he finally ended his period of seclusion.
When Ye Futian emerged, he encountered the phoenix. Zi Feng looked at him and asked, “Have you ended your seclusion?”
“Hmm,” Ye Futian replied with a nod, “I will probably not be cultivating for a very long time in the future.”
After his cultivation breakthrough, Ye Futian spent a lot of time fortifying his Plane. He also forged a new Divine Wheel of the Great Path. For now, he had reached a certain level where it would not be beneficial to continue cultivating. Hence, he had no reason to continue his seclusion.
“What about my divine fire? Didn’t you say that you would bring it along to aid me in my cultivation?” Zi Feng asked as she looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes.
“Ehem, ehem…” Ye Futian looked at the phoenix and said, “Zi Feng, the divine fire is already inside of me and has merged with me. If you wish to sense it, you can do so by cultivating by my side.”
Zi Feng stared at Ye Futian quietly and did not say anything.
These past few days, aside from concocting pills, Ye Futian had only been in seclusion. Since when did he give her the chance to cultivate by his side?
Had this fellow been scheming all along ever since he played The Flight of the Phoenix Pair on Wutong Island?
As expected, the words of men could not be trusted.
“I’ll drop by Alchemy Pavilion to pay a visit,” Ye Futian said as he prepared to skedaddle. Women were not to be offended. Although she was a phoenix, she was also female.
Buzz. Suddenly, wings appeared on Zi Feng’s back, spreading out wide. Terrifying, flaming aura of the Great Path emanated from the dazzling divine feathers. Each feather seemed to contain frightening amounts of power. A formless might immediately enveloped Ye Futian’s body. Zi Feng said, “You have now proven your Way and reached the middle-level Renhuang Plane. You should have improved greatly after cultivating in seclusion for such a long time. Why don’t we try out your abilities now?”
Zi Feng did not allow Ye Futian any time to disagree. The divine fire of the Great Path immediately flared onto Ye Futian’s body.
Ye Futian sensed the oncoming current of the Great Path. He speculated that this phoenix had a huge grudge against him.
“Alright,” Ye Futian answered. His figure flashed, and he dashed into the sky, appearing high above the clouds in an instant. The phoenix similarly became a flaming red divine light that shot straight through the clouds. Her speed was incredible as she rocketed straight up.
In the palace below, many people stepped outside. What was going on?
Condor sama stared wide-eyed at the intense waves of the Great Path in the sky. As expected of this overbearing phoenix. It was incredible for her to dare to provoke Master into battle. Condor sama was trembling.
High above the clouds, the two of them only stopped when they reached an extremely high point in the sky. They needed to maintain a high enough altitude for the shockwaves of their battle not to reach Eastern Deity Island. Even so, wills still swept up towards them one after another. The people below seemed very concerned about the situation up here. Yet, no one came to stop them.
Buzz. Scorching gales howled. A gigantic shadow of a phoenix appeared around Zi Feng’s figure. The giant phoenix spread its wings and flapped them downwards, causing an extremely hot gale of flames to sweep up in the sky above. It seemed capable of burning everything in its path.
The light of the Great Path circled Ye Futian. He quietly stood there, facing Zi Feng. As expected of the aura of the flawless level divine fire of the Great Path. Even with Ye Futian’s current cultivation, he still felt a threatening aura coming from the flames.
Countless flaming feathers of the phoenix danced and coalesced into one in the sky. Gradually, a true gigantic phoenix appeared. It covered the sky and blocked out the sun. It immediately covered this part of the sky. It was a majestic sight to behold.
Ye Futian could naturally tell that Zi Feng was serious this time. She wanted to see the level his ability was at now. She was different from other cultivators. Her Great Path was also flawless. She was naturally much more powerful than ordinary cultivators. Ye Futian and her were birds of a feather.
Aside from wanting to vent her dissatisfaction with Ye Futian for cultivating in seclusion, she also wanted to know the level of Ye Futian’s current true ability.
Ye Futian understood what Zi Feng was thinking. It appeared that to convince this proud phoenix, he would actually need to show some of his skills.
His will shifted. In an instant, the sun and moon circled around him, and heavenly signs appeared. Above him, an extremely resplendent divine pattern of the Great Path appeared. The power of Yin and Yang flowed around him, and the sun and moon appeared in the pattern. They frenziedly consumed the aura of the Great Path in the vast space.
This pattern expanded rapidly. It became a gigantic pattern that covered the sky in a short amount of time, directly shadowing the huge phoenix.
The power of Yin and Yang descended and immediately enveloped the gigantic shadow of the phoenix. The phoenix let out a deafening screech. Her sharp claws immediately reached out to rip apart the huge Yin Yang Diagram in the sky. She was extremely overbearing.
Buzz. The halo of Yin and the halo of divine fire descended on the phoenix at the same time. The figure of the phoenix turned somewhat illusory as she was faced with extremely terrifying pressure. Countless divine swords flowed in the sacred Yin Yang Diagram. The next moment, the Sword Qi of Sun Sword and Shadow Sword slaughtered their way over.
The phoenix once again let out a long screech. She lifted her claws to swipe the attacks away and block them. She wanted to use her fire to directly melt the sharp swords, but it was difficult for her flames to do so.
In an instant, the gigantic phoenix seemed to be drowned in Sword Qi.
Very soon, the humongous shadow of the phoenix disappeared. This caused the hearts of many Renhuangs on Eastern Deity Island who were observing the fight to tremble. Had Ye Futian’s cultivation reached such a frightening stage?
Zi Feng stared at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes. She had a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
“If you want a good spar, I will have all the time in the world to keep you company,” Ye Futian said with a smile. “Come. Follow me. I am going to meet the Island Lord.”
“Why are you going to meet the Island Lord?” Zi Feng asked.
“To bid him farewell,” Ye Futian replied. He had been cultivating on Eastern Deity Island for a couple of years. Now that he had broken through to the next Plane, he should bid farewell and leave.

Were they leaving? Zi Feng thought to herself. A couple of years ago, she had prepared herself to follow Ye Futian and leave Eastern Deity Island. However, they had cultivated on the island for a few years after that. This day had finally come. Ye Futian was prepared to venture out into the Divine Prefecture!
