Chapter 2213: Swallowing the Nebula
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Futian felt like he could see a divine sword of stars stabbing towards him. The will of the Great Path in him exploded, enveloping his body in sparkles. It was like he had the body of a god.
Boom… He felt the divine sword come straight for him, so he instinctively started to retreat, and his consciousness shook violently.
At that moment, Ye Futian broke out from that mode. He took a deep breath and looked out at the calm galaxy of stars in front of him. The feeling he had before disappeared. But he knew that this nebula wasn’t ordinary, and it carried an astonishing amount of swordsmanship within itself.
After a few moments, something similar seemed to have happened to Ye Wuchen. He looked towards Ye Futian only to hear Ye Futian say, “I’ll pass it on to you.”
“Alright.” Ye Wuchen ceased all formalities. He knew that Ye Futian wanted to help him to comprehend this nebula. Ye Futian’s cultivation methods were already very powerful after all, so even with the addition of Ziwei the Great’s sword technique, it might not help him grow very much stronger.
Ye Futian used his divine consciousness to pass everything he had comprehended to Ye Wuchen. After that, they continued to digest this, and they understood more and more about swordsmanship. Each time they understood more, they felt different.
They were not alone. The other cultivators also experienced the same thing. Yaya, Swordmaster of Lihen, and the rest were all cultivators of swordsmanship, and they were all comprehending this. Besides passing on his enlightenment to Ye Wuchen, Ye Futian also passed it to the rest to see if they could reap anything from this nebula.
The cultivators from the Heavenly Mandate Academy weren’t in any hurry either, and they just waited quietly. This nebula seemed to contain the will that Ziwei the Great had back then while cultivating, so Ye Futian and the rest were trying to comprehend it and see if they could gain any enlightenment.
Dou Zhao looked towards the rest of the starry dimension. Several people were cultivating before the nebula in different areas. It was as if the nebula in this starry cultivation area might be hiding pockets of Ziwei the Great’s cultivation.
“Why don’t we head to other areas to have a look first?” Dou Zhao broke his silence.
“You can do that, but try not to walk too far away. Otherwise, if anything happens, we won’t be able to reach you in time,” replied Fang Gai. Dou Zhao nodded. “Got it.”
With that, the group began to split up and walk towards other areas. But Fang Gai and Blind Tie remained by Ye Futian’s side. Fang Gai murmured to Fang Huan, “Why don’t you go explore the areas as well?”
“Sure.” Fang Huan nodded and walked away. Eventually, this area was only left with the few of them.
Ye Futian and the rest were still deep in cultivation, and time continued to tick by slowly. Without them realizing it, they had already been in this state of comprehension for several days. But because they were deep in their cultivation, they didn’t feel it at all. A few days felt like the blink of an eye to people at their level of cultivation. One simple session of comprehension could take several days, or it could even take several months.
As he stood in front of the nebula, Ye Futian opened his eyes and looked at the nebula before him. But when he looked at them now, they didn’t look like a nebula anymore. He could now see several different sword truths, and this interstellar cloud looked like it had become countless outlines of swords that moved before his eyes.
Of course, when he looked at the nebula, an astonishing aura burst forth from his body. His Great Path was roaring, and his eyes seemed to look like those of the gods. His eyes were filled with an aggressive will to fend off that powerful sword will.
Even though he was standing there, in reality, he felt like he was standing within the nebula. The sword will surged towards him and drowned him. It was as if he was comprehending it all by himself.
But Ye Futian and his companions weren’t the only ones comprehending things now. There were other cultivators outside the nebula who were doing the same thing. In fact, while trying to comprehend it, they were also trying to enter it.
Woong!
Ye Futian opened his eyes again. He looked at Ye Wuchen and the rest next to him to see that they were still cultivating and comprehending. After a long time, Ye Wuchen opened his eyes and looked towards Ye Futian.
Ye Futian nodded at him slightly. Their eyes met, and they understood what each other was thinking about.
“I’ll try.”
After Ye Wuchen finished speaking, his body whooshed by as he went forward to approach the river of swords. He walked right to the edge of the nebula, then an incredible and terrifying Great Path aura descended. At that moment, a gargantuan illusion appeared. It was an illusion of Ye Wuchen.
This illusion was extremely sharp and exuded an impossibly powerful sword will. After that, it headed towards that immense and borderless nebula.
Ye Wuchen’s consciousness seemed to have transformed into a giant that entered into the nebula.
“Is that how you do it?”
When the others saw this scene, they looked surprised. They watched as Ye Wuchen’s illusion went into the nebula. Then, countless amounts of sword will appeared, flowing with the sword will within the nebula.
“That’s really ambitious.” The pupils of everyone else watching narrowed slightly, but most of them were waiting to see what would happen next.
Before this, someone else had also tried to do something similar to what Ye Wuchen was doing. He had expanded his divine consciousness to cover the vast space so as to envelope the entire nebula to comprehend the sword will within it. It was a very bold move, but the consequences were a tragedy. His divine consciousness suffered terrifying attacks and his souls nearly shattered. He had been severely injured.
And now, Ye Wuchen was the second person who dared to use such a method. There was only one aim in doing such a thing: to swallow up the entire nebula. That was a very ambitious thing to do.
Did Ye Futian teach him to do this?
Before this, they had noticed that Ye Futian and Ye Wuchen were in close conversation, and it seemed like Ye Futian had passed on everything he had comprehended to Ye Wuchen before Ye Wuchen finally decided to do this. So part of this decision must have had something to do with Ye Futian.
Many eyes were now fixed on Ye Wuchen’s body. Just then, a brilliant light exploded from Ye Wuchen’s body. The divine light of the sword will was so gorgeous that everyone could sense an extraordinary aura. At the same time, the sword will that covered the nebula also exploded with an equally gorgeous glow, and it began to intertwine with the nebula slowly.
Boom…
An astonishing aura exploded from Ye Wuchen’s body as if many beams of sword will were shooting out from inside him, threatening to completely shatter his body.
Wisps of divine light flashed around Ye Futian’s body, and green divine light wrapped itself around Ye Wuchen. It carried the intense presence of the Great Path of Life.
At the same time, Ye Futian fixed his eyes on the nebula as he comprehended the two sets of sword will within the nebula.
Swordmaster of Lihen and Yaya and the rest were all staring rather anxiously at Ye Wuchen. This plan of theirs was a little crazy, but the two of them had really gone ahead with it.
Woong!
As the glow from the sword will covered the nebula, the glow of the sword will around Ye Wuchen’s body also became brighter and brighter. His body was trembling slightly, and even his soul was beginning to tremble, but he felt that the decision that he and Ye Futian had chosen was the right one. After comprehending the various sword wills hidden within the nebula, they wanted to use this method to fully comprehend the sword truth inside the nebula. But if they were the slightest bit careless in doing this, they would pay a hefty price.
This wasn’t just a matter of whether his own body could take it, but more importantly, it depended on how deep their comprehension of this nebula was before this.
Reality had proven that after he and Ye Futian had spent days comprehending the nebula, they had come very close to the sword truth hidden in the nebula. He had the chance to fully comprehend the whole sword truth within the nebula.
“They’re not dead yet?” The other cultivators were surprised to see what was happening. Did the two of them make the right choice after all?
They didn’t know that before Ye Wuchen embarked on this, Ye Futian had already briefly tried this method out. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed Ye Wuchen to do this.
The frightening glow had covered the entire interstellar cloud. Ye Wuchen’s body shuddered violently, and an enormous sword light exploded from his body. At that moment, the sword will that flowed around his body seemed to have become a river of swords.
At the same time, the nebula started to shift and actually turned into a galaxy as it started to engulf Ye Wuchen’s body.
The glow wrapped itself around Ye Wuchen in an instant, but it did not swallow him up. On the contrary, the immense amount of light went straight into his body. The divine light from Ye Wuchen burst forth into the distance, lighting up the entire starry dimension as a powerful sword will blasted from within him.
This caused everyone’s heart to pound wildly as they stared fixedly at his body. Had he really swallowed the nebula?
