Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ziwei the Great held a Heavenly Scroll in his hand. His illusory figure stood in the sky above all the cultivators. He appeared very close to all of them, yet he couldn’t be reached. It was as though the cultivators would never be able to come in contact with his illusory figure.
This was a face that was embedded among the stars. Ziwei the Great was right in front of their eyes; he was omnipresent. However, he was also ethereal. The cultivators could sense his might, yet they could never pinpoint his exact existence. He was like the moon reflected in a body of water.
Yet, the might of Ziwei the Great felt so real, solemn, and ancient. It was as though he was standing in the sky, staring at the cultivators across space and time.
Moreover, the illusory figure of Ziwei the Great had been here since time immemorial. His illusory figure was the eternal existence that protected this starry world, or it could be said that he protected the entire segment.
What was this face made of? Was it a will left behind by Ziwei the Great? Ye Futian thought to himself. If an ancient, god-like Ziwei the Great had left behind his will, was it possible for him to resuscitate and come back to life?
After all, Ziwei the Great was an all-powerful god. Even if just a sliver of his will was left in the world, by right, it could be said that he was immortal since he had not completely disappeared from existence.
In this part of the sky, many cultivators stood beneath the illusory figure of Ziwei the Great. All of them had solemn looks on their faces as they raised their heads and gazed at the illusory figure. Even though they were all top figures from various parts of the world, none of them revealed arrogant attitudes when standing beneath the illusory figure. All of them showed their respect for the ancient Great Emperor.
Furthermore, according to legend, Ziwei the Great was no ordinary god. He was one of the strongest in existence. He might be a cultivator among the gods; he stood at the pinnacle among all the gods.
After all, according to ancient legend, it was the Age of the Gods before the collapse of the Heavenly Path.
The gods also had differences in the strength of their powers during the Age of the Gods.
Some of the cultivators sensed Ye Futian’s arrival. Most of them didn’t care about him; they were focused on immersing themselves in their own meditation. Once in a while, some of them would turn around and take a look at Ye Futian, but they showed no emotion in their eyes. They would avert their eyes after casting a glance at him. It was as though Ye Futian did not exist.
Most of the cultivators who stood here were monstrous figures at the peak. They were extremely prideful. Let alone those who didn’t know who Ye Futian was, even those who recognized him acknowledged his presence with an indifferent attitude. They would not regard him with special respect.
Among all those who were present, Ye Futian saw a few familiar figures. For example, Ning Hua, the Vice Chief of Donghua Domain Manor, was amidst the crowd. Clearly, he also regarded himself as a top figure. He intended to comprehend the secret of Ziwei the Great, unveiling any teachings that might be hidden in this illusory figure.
Ning Hua also turned around and glanced at Ye Futian. A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. However, he soon shifted his gaze. He did not plan to attack Ye Futian here. Instead, he focused all his attention on comprehending the secrets of Ziwei the Great.
Upon arriving, Ye Futian quickly scanned across all the cultivators who stood in different directions. After that, he joined the crowd in raising his head and looking at the illusory figure. He was examining how this illusory figure of Ziwei the Great was formed.
At first glance, this illusory figure of Ziwei the Great seemed to merge with the starry sky and appeared in front of the cultivators. However, after carefully observing it, Ye Futian managed to figure something out. The illusory figure of Ziwei the Great was merged with the starry sky, seemingly formed from countless connecting stars. The endless stars forged this illusory figure, allowing the cultivators to make out of this ancient Great Emperor.
Could it be that Ziwei the Great put all the stars in place to form this illusory figure?
Were all these light dots formed by stars? Ye Futian pondered as he looked at the starry sky with his head raised.
All the cultivators who stood in the sky had attempted to comprehend this scene for a long while, yet up until now, none of them could comprehend it. They could only sense a vast and majestic might. Similar to Ye Futian, they could see that an ancient god was above their heads, but they could not come in contact with the illusory figure.
These cultivators exchanged their thoughts with each other. They were very open to sharing their speculations, intending to join forces to unveil the secret.
They were aware that if the teachings of the Great Emperor truly existed here, the teachings had not been comprehended by anyone after all these years. It would be challenging to decode the secret if they only relied on themselves. It was almost an impossible mission. Therefore, they were open to sharing to rely on the collective wisdom of everyone present.
If the teachings of the Great Emperor were truly hidden here, the cultivators would not hesitate to fight against everyone present to seize the teachings. However, they must first locate where the teachings were. Right now, none of them saw anything at all. They were willing first to work together to unveil the secret, then only fight against each other to seize the teachings.
Extraordinary people naturally had extraordinary temperaments.
Right then, someone’s gaze landed on Ye Futian. He said, “Come on up. After observing the silhouette of the Great Emperor, what are your thoughts?”
Ye Futian looked at the person who had spoken. This person also had an extraordinary temperament. There seemed to be no ulterior meaning to his words. Ye Futian said, “I just arrived here and have yet to observe in detail. Naturally, my findings cannot be considered comprehension. However, from observing, the silhouette of the Great Emperor is merged with the starry sky. I suspect that the silhouette of the Great Emperor might be formed from the stars.”
When the cultivator in the space heard what Ye Futian said, he revealed a smile. He looked at Ye Futian with a serious gaze and said, “Sir, may I know who you are and where you are from?”
“I am Ye Futian. I am from Four Corner Village in the Shangqing Domain of the Divine Prefecture,” replied Ye Futian. When the other party heard his answer, he revealed a look of realization. He smiled and said, “So you are the only cultivator from the Shangqing Domain who managed to comprehend the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor. No wonder you are so outstanding. It is an honor to meet you.”
Ye Futian saluted back with his fists. The other party smiled and said, “We have been observing the silhouette of the Great Emperor here for some time. We spent a lot of time exchanging our insights and confirming our findings with one another before coming to a conclusion. The silhouette of the Great Emperor appears to be connected to the various stars in the sky. That is to say that it seems the figure of the Great Emperor has merged with the starry sky. In reality, the stars in the sky are all linked together to form the silhouette of Ziwei the Great. I never imagined Renhuang Ye would immediately see through this key point. Impressive.”
Around him, many people in the starry sky looked down at Ye Futian. They were clearly astonished by his previous view. Indeed, the conclusion they had come to was immediately pinpointed by Ye Futian. He had immediately seen through the most crucial point. As expected, such comprehension lived up to his reputation. Rumor has it that he was the only person who managed to comprehend the sacred remains of Shenjia the Great Emperor. It seemed that the rumors were true, and he indeed had exceptional talents.
When Ye Futian heard what the other party said, he suddenly understood. So that was the case. He was speculating when he said this. In truth, he was not very confident in his speculation. He never imagined that it was actually true. Since even the other party had come to the same conclusion, it should be the case.
The silhouette of Ziwei the Great was formed from the starry sky.
“Come on up and let’s comprehend together,” a peerless figure called out to Ye Futian in the starry sky above. His back was towards Ye Futian as he faced the silhouette of Ziwei the Great. His tone was calm, but he seemed to be a high-ranking cultivator. He had an imposing aura.
The other cultivators did not mind him. Many people said, “Renhuang Ye and his group, come up and let’s comprehend together. Let us see whether we can comprehend the mysteries of Ziwei the Great together.”
Ning Hua’s group swept a glance in the direction of Ye Futian. A cold look flashed past in Ning Hua’s eyes. He never imagined that Ye Futian would immediately stand out once he arrived. He was being exalted by the crowd. Many people had high hopes in him. From the looks of it, he had improved immensely in the last few years. Ye Futian could almost pose a threat to Ning Hua.
However, Ning Hua did not pay much heed to him. After all, for Ning Hua, Ye Futian had to die.
“Many thanks, everyone,” replied Ye Futian as he nodded his head slightly. He did not turn down their offer and immediately rose into the sky above and comprehended with the crowd!
