Chapter 1950: The Yin Yang Diagram
After the power of the Great Path entered Ye Futian’s body, the strange signs disappeared. His white-robed fluttered in the wind. His long, silver hair was extremely elegant.
Down below, many people looked towards him. Xia Qingyuan, Little Condor, Zi Feng, Beigong Ao, and the others smiled as they looked at the brilliant divine halo. Ye Futian had proven his Way and become a middle-level Renhuang. His Divine Wheel of the Great Path became even more dazzling. It was still flawless. Ye Futian’s ability had gone up a level.
If others did not know and only looked at his cultivation Plane, they would most likely be deceived. Who would have thought that a fourth-tier middle-level Renhuang would actually already possess the combat ability of an ordinary eighth-tier Renhuang?
Ye Futian’s figure descended. When Beigong Ao saw Ye Futian descend, he walked up to welcome Ye Futian. Beigong Ao smiled and said, “After breaking through to the next Plane, even I might no longer be a match for you, right?”
“You are too modest,” Ye Futian said with a smile. “These past few years, Uncle Beigong hasn’t been sitting idly either. The Cloud Wood has completely merged into your body. Your body has become a Body of Thunder. Your combat ability is powerful.”
Now, the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them was even closer. Beigong Ao had decided to follow Ye Futian to cultivate. Ye Futian also did not call him Senior anymore. Ye Futian directly referred to him as an Uncle. Beigong Ao also enjoyed being called so very much.
When Beigong Ao heard Ye Futian’s modest speech, he smiled. After knowing Ye Futian for so long, Beigong Ao knew what Ye Futian was. How could Ye Futian’s words be believed?
This was especially so in terms of Ye Futian’s cultivation. He claimed that his talent in concocting pills was average, and his cultivation ability was normal.
As for what level Ye Futian’s combat ability was at, only Ye Futian himself knew. Whoever believed his words would be fooled.
Of course, Beigong Ao naturally hoped that Ye Futian would become stronger. After all, Ye Futian was the person who Beigong Ao had decided to follow. Ye Futian’s glory was his own glory.
Wasn’t it because of Ye Futian that he and Emperor Helian managed to break through to the eighth-tier?
At that moment, the sound of people traversing across the sky could be heard. From afar, they could hear people call out, “Congratulations for breaking through to the next Plane, little brother.”
“Little Friend Ye, congratulations,” silhouettes greeted as they dashed over. They were cultivators from the Eastern Deity Island’s Alchemy Pavilion chased off by the Island Lord. Many of them were more elderly fellows. After all, many people, who had outstanding talent and potential in cultivation, were unwilling to waste their time on concocting pills.
Ye Futian stepped forward to welcome them. He said, “Many thanks, elder brothers. I merely broke through one Plane. It is but a small matter.”
“It is a small matter if other people break through to the next Plane. However, if it is you, that is different. Haha,” an elder said as he laughed out loud. He looked at Ye Futian with a gaze as though he was staring at a treasure. Before this, Ye Futian’s ability in concocting pills was already very powerful and was gradually reaching perfection. Now, with his cultivation breakthrough and the fact that his Divine Wheel of the Great Path was still flawless, that meant that Ye Futian might be able to concoct pills of the Great Path of an even higher grade.
“Indeed. Now that you have broken through to the next Plane, even among the peak giant forces of the Donghua Domain, you could still stand out,” yet another person chipped in. A middle-level Renhuang who proved his Way with a flawless Divine Wheel had the potential to continue doing so when he reached the upper-level Renhuang Plane. If he became an upper-level Renhuang with a flawless Divine Wheel, the significance was extraordinary. That meant that he had the potential to reach the top of the cultivation world.
Everyone understood the meaning that the speaker implied. Even when Supreme Deity Donglai was alive back then, if a figure like Ye Futian had appeared, he would be the cream of the crop and would be brought up as a successor.
“If such a prominent figure appeared in Shangguan clan, I can rest easy,” said Shangguan Hong as he also walked out. He had initially been preparing to leave. Upon seeing that Ye Futian was breaking through to the next Plane, he remained here, waiting until Ye Futian succeeded.
“Senior Shangguan,” Ye Futian greeted Shangguan Hong with a smile as he nodded his head. At that moment, a voice instructed, “For now, do not let the news that he has broken through to the next Plane get out.”
The voice was authoritative. It was the voice of Eastern Deity Island Island Lord. Before this, she had already given them a warning once before. This time, she must have said it for Shangguan Hong to hear, reminding him not to reveal this to the outside world.
When Ye Futian heard the words of the other party, he thought to himself that the female Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island must be truly treating him as one of her own. She intentionally helped him keep his cultivation breakthrough a secret. She probably did not want to reveal too much news about him and draw the attention of the outside world.
“Understood,” many people replied as they nodded their heads. Shangguan Hong also intentionally replied, “After I leave, my lips are sealed on all matters regarding Eastern Deity Island.”
Shangguan Hong knew his place. He knew that to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with Eastern Deity Island, he had to first be able to keep secrets. Just a few years ago, the Jun clan and Yun clan were eradicated. Shangguan Hong would not do something to displease Eastern Deity Island.
“Hmm, after your cultivation breakthrough, you can use pills to aid your cultivation and fortify your Plane,” the female Island Lord continued. She was naturally speaking to Ye Futian.
“There are still many quality pills in Alchemy Pavilion. Now, your level of attainment in pills is higher than mine. You may choose whatever pill you please,” the other party continued. Ye Futian said, “Many thanks, Island Lord.”
Ye Futian was moved!
Ye Futian grinned as he looked at the alchemy masters of Alchemy Pavilion. As expected, he saw the other party’s faces darken. The Island Lord was excessively picking favorites. Was she giving Alchemy Pavilion away to Ye Futian?
“Masters, I have not concocted pills for a while. Let me see whether I have made any progress,” Ye Futian said with a grin. The alchemy masters of Alchemy Pavilion shuddered when they saw his grin. They could only nod their heads begrudgingly, “Alright, let’s go.”
Ye Futian headed over to Alchemy Pavilion with the masters happily. After his cultivation breakthrough, he concocted pills for a period of time.
A few days later, the fragrance of pills could be picked up coming from Alchemy Pavilion. There were also bursts of colorful lights. Many alchemy masters had gathered over there. Every time a pill was successfully concocted, they were astonished.
As expected, after Ye Futian’s cultivation breakthrough, his skill level in concocting pills improved once again. The pills he managed to refine were of an even higher grade.
Today, the alchemy cauldron was vibrating violently again. A burst of rainbow light shot up into the sky. The sky above the Alchemy Area was covered in colorful light. It was as though the shadow of a divine tree had appeared. Endless aura of the Great Path of Life circled the area. Green divine halos rained down, enveloping the vast s.p.a.ce. On the divine tree, a glittering and transparent pill appeared.
“It is a fruit of the Way of Life. It is a flawless level middle-grade elixir,” the alchemy masters exclaimed as they narrowed their eyes. They stared at the fruit of the Way. Ye Futian could already concoct a pill of this level.
This fruit of the Way immediately consumed the divine halo of the Great Path around it. It was full of unparalleled life force. Ye Futian opened his eyes and extended his hand to grab it. The pill took the form of a fruit, and its shape was perfect. His level of concocting pills had already far surpa.s.sed what he could manage just a few years ago.
Many cultivators stared at the pill. Ye Futian simply pa.s.sed the fruit over to Xia Qingyuan, who was beside him. He said, “This pill should be useful for your cultivation.”
Xia Qingyuan gently nodded her head and kept the fruit away as she received it. She indeed also needed to work hard and cultivate to improve her own abilities. Ye Futian’s growth was too rapid. Soon, she would not be able to keep up with his pace of advancement.
Many alchemy masters rolled their eyes at Ye Futian. They could only watch as Xia Qingyuan kept the pill away. This b*st*rd Ye Futian had once again pocketed the goods, leaving all the benefits to those beside him. Yet, the alchemy masters could not do anything. The Island Lord had acquiesced it. They could only watch and hope that Ye Futian would concoct pills for them.
“It appears that one’s cultivation is indeed beneficial for concocting pills. I have tried my hand at it these past few days. I will concoct more pills in the future if I have the chance. I will now continue cultivating in seclusion for a period of time,” Ye Futian said. The crowd stared wide-eyed at him. That was it?
What about their pills?
Wasn’t he going to continue concocting?
Before this, he had selected many of their precious pills for his own use. Wasn’t he planning to compensate them with a few concoctions?
“I am somewhat tired. Masters, I will come again when I have the time,” Ye Futian said as he ignored their gazes and made himself scarce. These old fellows were all thieves; he had to first grow their appet.i.te. He indeed had to improve his cultivation first.
As everyone else was staring wide-eyed at him, Ye Futian left just like that. After he returned to his palace, he began another period of cultivating in seclusion. However, this time, he did not seek to have a breakthrough in terms of Planes. Instead, he cultivated law power. Within the memories that he inherited from Supreme Deity Donglai, there were many incredible law powers.
Back in the day, Supreme Deity Donglai was an alchemy grandmaster at the pinnacle of the profession. His knowledge on the subject was vast, and he knew many law powers. Some of them he had cultivated himself while others were stored within his memories.
After Ye Futian left Alchemy Pavilion, he was no longer seen by Eastern Deity Island members. This fellow actually continued to cultivate in seclusion. It was as though the only thing on his mind was cultivating.
In the blink of an eye, another few months pa.s.sed. On a training platform in Ye Futian’s palace, Ye Futian sat cross-legged. Aura of the Great Path emanated from his body. Two different powers of the Great Path circled his figure. One was Yang, and one was Yin; one was hot, one was cold. The two different powers of the Great Path crisscrossed as they circled him, forming a miraculous spiral of the Great Path.
At that moment, an extremely dazzling scene appeared in Ye Futian’s Life Palace.
In the world of the Life Palace, a gigantic pattern of a divine artifact appeared in the sky. It seemed to be a pair of Yin Yang Fish. One was Yin, and the other was Yang. The two extremes of Yin and Yang seemed to become the sun and the moon. The power of Yang and the power of Yin appeared to emanate from them. Ye Futian possessed the power of Yin as well as the Divine Fire of Wutong. Although the Divine Fire of Wutong was not the True Fire of the Sun, it was also of the Yang attribute and was extremely overbearing.
Ye Futian could faintly make out the shadow of the ancient tree from within the pattern. The branches and leaves of the ancient tree spread out and merged with the two powers of the Great Path, causing it to become a complete pattern.
What was even more frightening was that at the edges of the pattern, Sword Will emerged from the power of Yin and Yang that had been raining down constantly. It was as though the power of Yin and Yang became Shadow Swords as well as Sun Swords. They circled the Yin Yang Diagram. This scene was astonis.h.i.+ng. Its might was terrifying.
This art was derived from an extremely powerful Way of the Great Path. Now, it was being comprehended by Ye Futian. He wanted to forge it into a new Divine Wheel of the Great Path, merging this power of the Great Path with his technique. If he succeeded, its power would be extremely terrifying!
