Ye Futian was initially still cultivating atop the Six Desire Heaven Palace, but Lord Six Desires invited him to come down from the Yangxin Mountain.
Before the stairs, Lord Six Desires and the other high-level cultivators were all present. In the middle stood the divine frame of Shenjia the Great. Everyone kept a distance from the divine frame. Clearly, although quite some time had passed, no one could solve the mystery of Shenjia the Great.
Until today, no one could bring it away, including Lord Six Desires himself, which was why he sent people to call Ye Futian over.
“Lord,” Ye Futian bowed slightly toward Lord Six Desires and greeted him after arriving.
“How’s your injury?” Lord Six Desires still remembered to care about Ye Futian’s injuries.
“Almost recovered. I should be fully rejuvenated in a few day’s time,” Ye Futian replied.
“Mm.” Lord Six Desires nodded and said, “For the past few days, the others and I were all observing this divine frame of Shenjia the Great. Even now, we still cannot understand how it operates. No wonder you were crowned as the number one of the Original Realm and were chased after by various forces of the Divine Prefecture. Your talents are astonishing, to say the least. Back then, how did you reach resonance with the divine frame of Shenjia the Great?”
With the status and power level of Lord Six Desires, it was definitely an embarrassing thing for him to be asking Ye Futian. Ye Futian had already spontaneously handed over the body, gifting it to him to study. Yet he couldn’t figure it out and had to come to consult Ye Futian. One could imagine the emotions going through Lord Six Desires. If it was easy to ask, he would’ve done it back then.
However, so many days had passed, and he still couldn’t fathom it. Not to mention, there were some rumors starting to spread, so Lord Six Desires had no choice but to call Ye Futian over to consult him. He didn’t forget to praise Ye Futian before the fact, so at least it wouldn’t be as humiliating.
Ye Futian appeared to be pondering before he answered, “Lord, back then, when I was fortunate enough to see the divine frame in the Shangqing Domain, no one could communicate with it. In fact, even looking at it would inflict severe injuries, causing one’s eyes to bleed. I was no different. Afterward, through perception and understanding, I was able to resonate with the runes inside of the divine frame, which then allowed me to activate them and fuse with my spiritual soul and mortal body to gain control. But if you need a detailed explanation of how it was done, it’s really difficult to spell it out clearly.”
Lord Six Desires nodded slightly. Naturally, he had also entered that world of runes inside the divine frame. However, it was a Domain of Path Obliteration. The moment he entered, he was attacked. When he tried to gain control over the body of Shenija the Great, he immediately experienced severe backlash.
“Is there any way to quickly gain control over it?” Lord Six Desires asked, his voice lower than usual.
Ye Futian pondered for a while before shaking his head. He looked toward Lord Six Desires only to see the Lord looking back at him.
Although he appeared calm and composed on the surface, Ye Futian was exceptionally clear of the circumstances right now. With the relationship between him and Lord Six Desires, it was impossible to have mutual trust. Of course they were both trying to scheme against each other. Despite his explanations, how could Lord Six Desires completely believe him?
Ye Futian said, “Lord, previously, besides inheriting the divine frame of Shenjia the great, I also inherited his Divine Requiem and Ziwei the Great’s techniques of attack. However, Ziwei the Great’s inheritance is still dependent on the Ziwei Segmentum even after all this time because the Will of the Great Emperor was embedded within those celestial stars. When I was cultivating there, I could feel the presence of Ziwei the Great’s Will. As such, all I can do is to seek advice from Lord about my cultivation methods.”
He used the word “advice.”
As expected, a gratified expression could be seen from Lord Six Desires’ eyes and brows. He said, “Alright. Although I’m not an expert in music, the Great Paths are all interconnected. Perhaps I could still give you some advice. Besides, I would like to experience the Divine Requiem as well. As for the offensive techniques of Ziwei the Great, surely there’s something extraordinary about that, too.”
Ye Futian sneered inside. He knew that Lord Six Desires was a greedy person who never knew content. His music and the techniques of Ziwei the Great, he wanted all of them. So long as Ye Futian mentioned them, he would want them.
“I’ll transmit it to Lord through divine consciousness,” Ye Futian said as divine light started blinking between his brows and started to travel towards the middle of Lord Six Desires’s brows.
With his cultivation levels, of course Lord Six Desires wouldn’t be afraid of Ye Futian. Without the body of Shenjia the Great, it wouldn’t even be possible for Ye Futian’s divine consciousness to launch a sneak attack on him, so he just allowed that divine light to enter into his forehead.
Soon, the light dissipated from both of them. A smile appeared on Lord Six Desires’s face. He was clearly very satisfied with the information that Ye Futian had transmitted to him.
Although the Divine Requiem was useless for him, it was a lost Divine Melody—the greatest composition of Shenjia the Great, who was the greatest musician of an era. Even if he just used it to trade in the future, he could exchange it for other supreme treasures. On top of that, the attacking technique of Ziwei the Great was also extremely powerful. He could study it and fuse it into his own methods of attack.
“Since you haven’t recovered fully from your injuries, you should go back first and try to recover as soon as possible. Later on, I’ll study these cultivation methods carefully. When I gain a decent understanding of it, I’ll give you some advice,” Lord Six Desires said to Ye Futian. His tone was a lot more gentle than before. Although he knew that Ye Futian still had other treasures on him, he wasn’t in a rush to get them. Since Ye Futian was willing to hand them over spontaneously, he was glad to treat Ye Futian with some respect in return.
He liked smart people.
“Alright, thank you for going through the trouble, Lord,” Ye Futian said. Despite passing on cultivation methods to Lord Six Desires, he behaved as though he was indebted to him instead. Yet, none of the cultivators around felt that there was anything wrong. It seemed as if this was supposed to be how things go.
Ye Futian was staying in Lord Six Desires’s territory, and his life was in the hands of the Lord. How would he dare not to hand over all of his possessions?
The Lord was already being very generous to allow him to recover from his injuries and cultivate in peace.
After leaving, Ye Futian returned to Yangxin Mountain and went back to cultivation. It was exactly as the cultivators in the Six Desires Heavenly Palace thought. He knew what sort of circumstances he was under and understood what should and should not be done.
Right now, other than cultivation, all he should be doing was lay low.
As for the divine methods that he transmitted to Lord Six Desires, it wasn’t complete, though it was extraordinary nonetheless. Although Lord Six Desires was powerful, he had never seen those two divine methods before, so naturally, he wouldn’t be able to tell. Besides, those were indeed real, just incomplete.
…
After several more days, Lord Six Desires was still cultivating in the Six Desires Heavenly Palace.
Suddenly, several powerful auras descended upon the palace encircled by a mist of divine aura, which made Lord Six Desires frown. He looked up into the air with a cold and impassive gaze as he said, “Why not inform me before coming to the Six Desires Heavenly Palace?”
The hearts of the cultivators who were cultivating in the palace trembled slightly when they heard the Lord Six Desires. Based on his tone, it seemed that those who arrived were on the same cultivation level as him.
Otherwise, how would they dare to descend directly upon the Six Desires Heavenly Palace? And the Lord used the word “inform” just now.
If it weren’t cultivators of the same level as him, he would likely have slammed his palm toward them already.
So, who was here?
Atop the skies, the clouds surged and rolled rigorously as waves of extremely powerful aura seeped downwards.
Then, a voice sounded from high up in the air, “Apologies for coming without notifying and disturbing Lord Six Desires’s cultivation.” As the voice sounded, a figure appeared high up in the skies. Two other cultivators arrived from another direction.
The three great cultivators arrived at the Six Desires Heavenly Palace at the same time. All three were cultivators on the same level as the Lord Six Desires, each an overlord of the region.
At this moment, Lord Six Desires instantly understood what they had come for.
Cultivators of this level coming personally. Clearly, it wouldn’t be for no reason. Recently, only one thing had happened in the Six Desires Heavenly Palace, so naturally, they had come for that.
The three great cultivators looked downward at the divine frame of Shenjia the Great. A wave of amazement went through their hearts. So it was actually true. Lord Six Desires obtained a divine corpse, and it was the divine frame of a Great Emperor who stood at the very top of the pyramid in the ancient era—Shenjia the Great.
Previously, this divine frame appeared in the Divine Prefecture. Now it was in the Six Desires Heavenly Palace.
Lord Six Desires sneered inside. They’d already arrived here. What did they mean by disturbing his cultivation?
What a sham.
Of course, he knew all three of these cultivators.
“We’ve previously heard rumors that Lord Six Desires obtained the divine frame of Shenjia the Great. It turned out to be true. Since you obtained the diving frame, why didn’t you invite us to study it together? You’re here alone, yet you can’t fathom it. That’s rather boring, isn’t it?” another of the three said while staring at the divine frame.
They’d all heard that it was challenging to gain an understanding of the body of Shenjia the Great. Looking at the situation now, it seemed to be true. Clearly, until now, Lord Six Desires still hadn’t managed to do it.
As they spoke, their divine consciousness expanded rapidly to their surroundings. It seemed that they were trying to encase the entire Six Desires Heavenly Palace in their divine consciousness.
“Don’t you think this is going a little overboard?” Lord Six Desires could sense that their divine consciousness was directly invading the Six Desires Heavenly Palace, and his tone turned cold. This was an obvious provocation.
However, the three of them didn’t care. They had already come to the Six Desires Heaven, so they wouldn’t concern themselves with that. Besides, they had already discussed this before coming over.
As such, they could surely suppress Lord Six Desires so he wouldn’t dare to turn against them.
“We’ve heard that the phenom of the Original Realm Ye Futian was being imprisoned in the Six Desires Heavenly Palace by you, Six Desires, so we just wanted to see for ourselves. Don’t mind us.” A smile appeared on their faces as they’d already found the answer. Of course, Yangxin Mountain was part of the area covered by their divine consciousness, and they could see a white-haired young cultivator there. His aura was extraordinary. That was probably Ye Futian.
Lord Six Desires was seriously ruthless, imprisoning Ye Futian inside the Six Desires Heavenly Palace and forcing him to hand over the divine methods that he was cultivating. According to the rumors, other than the divine frame of Shenjia the Great, Lord Six Desires had also obtained several other inheritances of Great Emperors. He was exceedingly ambitious, wanting to become the greatest cultivator below the Great Emperors.
Of course, that was the dream of all cultivators on their level, perhaps even further than that.
It wasn’t a surprise to them that Lord Six Desires had such thoughts.
However, now that they knew about it, Lord Six Desires can forget about having the divine frame of the Great Emperor and the divine methods all to himself. At the very least, they had to get a piece of the pie.
“Ye Futian willingly entered the Six Desires Heavenly Palace to cultivate as one of us. How is that imprisonment? I’m afraid what you said was blown way out of proportion.”
“Is it?” one of the three cultivators said impassively as his divine consciousness landed on Yangxin mountain. He asked Ye Futian, “Ye Futian, did you enter the Six Desires Heavenly Palace for cultivation willingly?”
Ye Futian raised his head in Yangxin Mountain and looked toward the Six Desires Heavenly Palace. They were finally here!
