The Legend of Futian - Chapter 461

Chapter 461: Guidance? Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

 

Ye Futian stood quietly behind the crowd and looked at the vast army before him from which a wave of terrifying martial arts fate was being released. The army extended all the way into the distance and nobody knew how many spirits there were.

The disciples of the Top Three Schools also seemed very solemn. They knew that this level was like a dividing line. Those who could pass it would have a chance to obtain something much better.

The people behind them arrived one after another. People who could reach the sixth level were either Upper Arcana Plane cultivators or talented geniuses from the Top Three Schools. Very soon, the disciples from the Top Three Schools also formed an army. They all stared before them with a serious expression.

Suddenly, a person in front of the crowd from Blazing Sun School said emotionlessly, “It’s about time. Let’s start.” Immediately, everyone released their auras and an astonishing gust of martial arts fate was formed, circling around them. Then, they started advancing forward.

There was a Blazing Sun School disciple who was charging at the front of the crowd. With a Sun Sword in his hand, he leaped out in mid-air. When he lifted his sword, martial arts fate circled around the sword which was set ablaze with sun flares. Then, he struck his sword out, sending many beams of light downwards. Accompanied by a continuous sizzling, many spirits were killed, their martial arts fate flying towards the disciple.

Battle erupted in just a split second. The disciples of the Top Three Schools all charged forward. In the martial arts battlefield trial this time, the Arcana Plane disciples of the Top Three Schools were almost all present, many of whom were geniuses. There were also many Upper Arcana Plane disciples. Clearly, the team formed by them at the moment was extremely strong.

Behind an extraordinary disciple from Bright Moon School, the radiance of the moon bloomed and poured down. Many spirits were rooted directly, after which they were frozen and annihilated.

Ye Futian saw Zhen Rong. Her mount was a demon which was at the peak of the Arcana Plane and was crushing everything in its path. However, she only injured the spirits around instead of killing them. She had an outstanding sword of fire in her hand and wherever she passed, blood poured down like the rain. As a sixth level Arcana Plane cultivator, Zhen Rong’s power and combat ability were both excellent. After all, she was a madman at cultivating.

Behind Long Mu, martial arts fate turned into a pure-blooded dragon who circled around him. He was similarly in the sixth level of the Arcana Plane. As he advanced forward, the demonic dragon engulfed everything and nothing could stop him at all.

“Our goal isn’t to pass the army quickly. Instead, it’s to collect sufficient martial arts fate. From the seventh level all the way to the ninth level,” Ye Futian said. Only in this way, they could continue moving up. He believed that with their ability to challenge people at much higher levels than them, they would not encounter many difficulties. As long as they could obtain enough martial arts fate, they would be able to deal with the other people later.

In Ye Futian’s opinion, it was not a wild thought to go to the seventh level of the battlefield, but something he must do. At the moment, he was not trying to break past the army quickly and enter the seventh level but to accumulate a sufficient amount of martial arts fate in the sixth level.

“Alright.” Ye Futian’s teammates all understood his meaning and nodded one after another. Then, they moved forward and also charged into the army.

The four people had all obtained quite a lot of seventh level martial arts fate in the last level. With this, they could possess the combat power of the seventh level of the Arcana Plane which was more than enough for them to deal with spirits of the same level. Even if they were to encounter any spirits in the eighth level of the Arcana Plane, they were still confident that they would win.

At the moment when they charged into the crowd, they were surrounded by spirits at once as there were too many of them. As they spread out, Ye Futian realized that many seventh level Arcana Plane cultivators were charging towards him.

Ye Futian’s hand suddenly struck forward like a bolt of lightning and martial arts fate converged. Immediately, many palm prints were formed together and flew towards the incoming spirits. Numerous bolts of lightning swept past and destroyed everything in their paths. Then, the palm prints slapped down, producing a loud rumbling, after which many beams of martial arts fate fused with Ye Futian.

Soon, Ye Futian’s body was buried within the huge army of martial fate spirits. He was not however anxious to charge out. Instead, he fought within the army and his every punch was extremely powerful. With every attack that he made, he would destroy one spirit and obtain its martial arts fate. It was as if he was practicing his boxing skills here. The martial arts battlefield had become a place for him to train his combat powers.

In the sky above, some people noticed what had happened to Ye Futian and his team, for example, Jiang Nan who had been constantly paying close attention to Ye Futian. Realizing that Ye Futian and his friends were trapped, Jiang Nan sneered. Even though Ye Futian was talented, it would still be very difficult for him to break out of the army once buried.

He flashed and left via the air, searching for his new target. He needed to kill stronger spirits in order to experience an effect.

Ye Futian and his friends were wildly killing the spirits which were in the seventh level of the Arcana Plane. At the moment, a few stronger spirits noticed Ye Futian and walked towards him from the air. They all had spears in their hands as if they were in charge of punishing offenders. They stared coldly at Ye Futian, after which their spears flew across the sky and charged towards Ye Futian like silver bolts of lightning.

Ye Futian raised his head and glanced at the incoming spears above him. Then, the martial arts fate around him suddenly trembled and golden light filled the sky. A light screen appeared above him, on which there were many magical symbols. Every beam of martial arts fate seemed to have turned into a symbol.

When the few spirits approached him, Ye Futian pointed his finger at the sky. Right away, the spells from the symbols erupted simultaneously, releasing a dazzling radiance and crushing everything in their paths. This was the ability which he had obtained from the martial arts fate.

Accompanied with many loud booms, the powerful attacks collided with each other. Just then, Ye Futian moved his body with martial arts fate circling around him. As he moved his palm, thousands of beams of martial arts fate turned into countless vines which swept out towards the incoming enemies.

Following many sizzling sounds, all the eighth level spirits collapsed and their martial arts fate flew towards Ye Futian.

After Ye Futian obtained the martial arts fate, he already had a shocking amount on his body. Moreover, it was far from over yet. Of course, even though Ye Futian’s speed was very fast, there were still many people who were faster. Those people who were Upper Arcana Plane geniuses, riding on powerful demons, or holding sage ritual implements because of their extraordinary backgrounds were all moving at the front line, killing countless spirits.

However, suddenly, many figures flew over from the distance. They were showered in brilliant golden light and wearing armor like they were divine generals. Possessing an incredible amount of martial arts fate, they looked extremely powerful.

These general-like figures charged directly towards the powerful people in the air. For example, such a figure appeared in front of Zhen Rong. The general-like figure swang his palm forward. Immediately, a golden matrix appeared in the sky which rotated rapidly and released a destructive power. As he pushed his palm forward, it turned into a deadly power which charged towards Zhen Rong.

Zhen Rong was holding a sage ritual implement in her hand. Although she could not use all of its powers, as she struck it out casually, red light still filled the sky as if it was going to cut the sky into two. It crushed many incoming beams of light, but a strong spell still managed to reach her, blowing her backward.

Zhen Rong’s expression changed slightly. Indeed, it was only the sixth level and the enemies were already so powerful. It was hard to imagine how the seventh level would look like.

These general-like figures were like noble-level martial arts fate. It did not feel like they were at the peak of the Arcana Plane. Instead, they seemed to be top nobles who had their levels suppressed.

Apart from Zhen Rong, the cultivators who had killed the most number of spirits also encountered such an obstacle. The same thing happened to Long Mu. His level was also not high. Therefore, just like Ye Futian, he had been killing spirits from lower to higher levels. Because he had the ability to fight enemies of higher levels than him, he had already obtained ninth level martial arts fate, with which he could possess the combat power equivalent to the peak of the Arcana Plane. Of course, since his own level was not as high, he was not as strong as he would be when he entered the peak of the Arcana Plane himself.

Before him, a violent general-like figure appeared. The pure-blooded dragon around him roared in anger as the all-powerful figure fought with him head-on. Many fierce shock waves were released outwards.

Even Long Mu’er arms seemed to be evolving. Demonic aura filled the sky and his bloodline roared. Eventually, his arms seemed to have turned into arms of a dragon. In his body, there was a faintly visible dragon which contained an immense power.

The members of West Mountain Dragon Clan all inherited the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon. They had the power of a pure-blooded dragon. When their blood started boiling, the power in their bodies would be totally activated.

Long Mu roared and the howl of dragon echoed in the sky. Then, he struck out with his fist, as if a pure-blooded dragon was fighting against the heaven. Following a loud bang, he tore his opponent into pieces, after which he obtained the martial arts fate. Then, he continued forward and destroyed all the spirits in his path in an overpowering manner.

Long Mu passed through many obstacles. Finally, he walked out of the army and arrived before a palace. There was a door there which would allow people to enter the subsequent level.

At the moment, there were already quite a few people here, all of whom were the brightest talents in the Top Three Schools. Beside them, there was an eye-catching figure which looked like a god. He stared emotionlessly at the happenings before him, as if he was only a spirit.

Long Mu walked up and stared at him solemnly.

“Congratulations. You are qualified to enter the seventh level.” The figure glanced emotionlessly at Long Mu. He seemed to be both real and illusory, as if he was going to vanish at any time.

Long Mu did not say anything. He jumped up and stood with the rest. Turning around, he looked at the battlefield, wondering how many people could enter the seventh level this time. He was somewhat looking forward to his journey in the seventh level. What did his father experience there in that year?

At the moment, in the vast battlefield, Gu Yunxi encountered some trouble. She was being attacked by the divine general-like figure and she looked somewhat awkward.

Below him, Ye Futian had already been fighting for a long time and had obtained a large amount of martial arts fate, including those at the ninth level. Raising his head, he looked at Gu Yunxi, after which he turned into a bolt of lightning.

Boom! An enormous golden fist fell down from the sky and struck towards Gu Yunxi like the fist of god.

Gu Yunxi’s expression changed slightly as she stepped backward. Suddenly, a gust of blow blew past her. Then, she saw a dazzling figure rotating in the air. In the next instant, there seemed to be a rod that swept out with a devastating force.

Bang! Following a loud bang, the all-powerful figure was crushed into pieces, while the martial arts fate was obtained by the attacker. Ye Futian turned around and asked, “Are you alright?”

Gu Yunxi froze in astonishment. Then, she smiled sweetly and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Ye.”

“No problem. Let’s go,” Ye Futian said, clearing the path before them. Yu Sheng and the rest ascended into the sky and followed him closely. Then, another person came over, who turned out to be Gu Ming, a genius from Gu Clan. He glanced at Ye Futian and his friends, after which he joined them.

The battlefield was in total chaos so they did not have the time to say anything.

At the moment, Jiang Nan was blown backward by an attack. Noticing that Ye Futian was advancing with Gu Ming, his face darkened. Did this shameless scum befriend Gu Clan after entering the battlefield?

Soon, Ye Futian and his team also arrived at where Long Mu was. When they saw Ye Futian appear, Long Mu and Zhen Rong all seemed to be surprised. However, after seeing Gu Ming, they were also relieved.

Long Mu was somewhat unhappy as he glanced coldly at Ye Futian who actually came here under the guidance of Gu Ming and Gu Yunxi.

Zhen Rong clearly also noticed Ye Futian. She glanced at Gu Yunxi who was beside him and some surprise flashed across her proud eyes.

So it turned out that Ye Futian liked beautiful ladies. In terms of just appearance, Zhen Rong also had to admit that Gu Yunxi looked better. However, in terms of martial arts, she was obviously more outstanding than Gu Yunxi. At the moment, Ye Futian was walking with Gu Yunxi, but he had ignored her invitation. She would, therefore, think that Ye Futian was only fond of beauties. Nevertheless, it was normal; nobody would ever dislike a pretty lady.

At this place, many people were in fact interested in Gu Yunxi. She was after all a popular beauty in Divine Sky City. Most people from the Top Three Schools who had managed to reach here knew each other as they were either famous in their respective colleges or descendants of major clans.

Suddenly, someone said, “I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?”

Many people looked at the young man who just spoke. It was Chen Wang from Chen Clan. He was at the peak of the Arcana Plane and was very strong. Indeed, he was the elder brother of Chen Liu whom Ye Futian had seen before. Chen Liu was right beside him at the moment.

“Speak,” Jin Yunlang said, looking at Chen Wang.

“In the past when the martial arts battlefield opened, disciples of the Top Three Schools would compete to obtain martial arts fate for themselves or even fight against each other to obtain more. This was especially true for the Top Three Schools as people were clearly divided into their factions. Therefore, apart from Long Yitian, the others only managed to enter at most the eighth level of the battlefield and no further,” Chen Wang said. “This being the case, why can’t we change this for once? The Top Three Schools shall join hands this time and disregard our differences. We will ignore all our conflicts from the past and advance forward together.”

“There were people in the past who tried this. What happened in the end?” someone said coldly. Over the years, countless people had entered the martial arts battlefield and tried various methods. Some people in the past had also tried to team up like what Chen Wang suggested. However, those who allied would always go into a conflict because of the uneven distribution of martial arts fate. Familiar with the martial arts battlefield, they understood well what the martial arts fate in the last three levels meant. Who would not want more opportunities? Who should get the last hit and obtain the martial arts fate?

In the past, there were even occasions when people dug pits for each other at the last moment, resulting in some descendants of major clans being killed. It caused great disturbance and conflicts even broke out among the different clans. Hence, very few people would mention about teaming up since then. Nobody could control their greed and nobody would believe in the rest easily.

“If you think in this way, just ignore what I said. We’ll rely on ourselves. However, based on past experience, if we don’t team up, maybe we can pass the seventh level but the eighth level will still be the limit,” Chen Wang said emotionlessly. Everyone knew that Chen Wang was speaking the truth. Although they all believed that they were extraordinary and wanted to create the miracle that Long Yitian once did, they knew in their hearts that it was highly unlikely.

Among so many geniuses in the past, only Long Yitian managed to do it. What did they have in addition?

“Why not listen to him?” a lady suddenly said. Everyone turned their heads and looked at a person in the crowd. It was a very charming lady and her looks could even be compared to Gu Yunxi. Her skin was like jade and the aroma of orchids surrounded her body. An emerald green dress was on her body, turning her into a fairy. She was Liu Suqing, the top beauty of Blazing Sun School.

Many people glanced at her. Realizing that she had spoken, many people looked at Chen Wang again. Then, someone said, “What then?”

“I’m not sure how many types of martial arts fate there are in the battlefield. In the last three levels, there is certainly much sage-like fate. If someone manages to get that, we’ll agree that nobody will contest for it. Furthermore, we are also not allowed to leave the rest and enter the eighth level alone. On the other hand, we’ll continue to obtain other types of sage-level fate. As long as someone contributes during the process, we’ll help him to get at least one type of martial arts fate. In the end, we’ll enter the next level together. We will only have the chance to enter the ninth level in this way. What do you think?” Chen Wang suggested.

Many people were persuaded by his plan. If they could really do what Chen Wang had said, it would theoretically work. However, it was still unclear if the situation in the past would occur again.

“Great, I agree,” Zhen Rong said. “If someone gets the martial arts fate required and enters the eighth level alone, we’ll kill him together.”

“If nobody objects this, I’ll join as well,” Bai Qiong, a top genius from Starry School, nodded lightly. Then, everyone nodded one after another, agreeing to Chen Wang’s suggestion. As for whether they had any other plans in their minds, nobody would know.

“Alright, let’s go then,” Chen Wang said. Immediately, everyone turned around and walked towards the door, stepping into the seventh level of the martial arts battlefield.

“Mr. Ye, let’s go together,” Gu Yunxi said to Ye Futian who was beside her.

Ye Futian’s eyes sparkled, but Gu Ming also nodded at him. “Please.”

Just now, he saw how Ye Futian helped Gu Yunxi to kill that powerful martial arts spirit. He knew that apart from musical spells, Ye Futian’s combat ability was very outstanding as well.

“Okay.” Ye Futian also stopped being too polite.

…

The seventh level of the martial arts battlefield was also vast and boundless. The group walked forward and soon many cultivators appeared before them, all of whom were martial arts spirits.

This time, it was no longer an army. There were not many spirits, only hundred of them in an array. However, they all seemed to be terribly powerful. As they stared at the intruders, everyone could feel that each spirit was as powerful as the strongest one in the sixth level. They all contained an incredible amount of martial arts fate.

The spirit which was furthest away from everyone was standing quietly on a high platform and staring at them calmly. From him, Ye Futian felt some danger.

“The seventh level is different from the previous ones. I have not been here before. However, according to what I heard, there is indeed sage-level martial arts fate here, as if sages are actually controlling spirits at the peak of the Arcana Plane. Despite so, they can still unleash imaginably strong powers,” Gu Yunxi said softly to Ye Futian.

Ye Futian had felt previously that the spirits in the first six levels all had noble-level martial arts fate, although their levels were in the Arcana Plane. It was somewhat similar to his experience in the Ancient Barren World, where there was noble fate.

Boom! Just as Gu Yunxi was speaking, a violent aura had already erupted wildly. Everyone was releasing their powers. The people from top clans even took out the sage ritual implements they had brought. Indeed, everyone looked extremely serious.

In the seventh level of the martial arts battlefield, any carelessness might result in death. Even though many people present were the best in their generation, nobody dared to be even slightly careless in this level.

The hundred spirits released brilliant beams of light simultaneously. Then, they extended their arms and clenched their fists in the air. At once, everyone felt an extremely terrifying gravity acting on their bodies, attempting to pull them downwards.

“Slay them all!” Chen Wang shouted. His Sun Sword appeared in his hand which he used to strike down like a divine sword, crushing everything before him.

Jin Yunlang reached out his palm. Immediately, a golden spear flew past everyone and pierced towards the enemies below him. Postured like a dragon, Long Mu gave a fierce roar and many dragons appeared, charging out.

All the people launched their attacks almost at the same time. Right away, the space around them became extremely violent and destructive. Below them, many spirits exploded one after another. Suddenly, however, the sage-like figure clenched his fist in the air. An appalling power appeared immediately and even space itself was hardening. Many people felt their bodies petrify directly as they were covered with rocks.

The martial arts spirits below them ascended and started attacking the cultivators from the Top Three Schools. Accompanying a few loud bangs, a few people were hit and blown backward. As they landed on the ground, the rocks broke and they spat up blood.

Ye Futian and his friends were standing at the back and their bodies were similarly petrified. At this moment, he could feel a power that was everywhere around him. It was the martial arts fate left behind by a sage.

Following a loud bang, the rocks around him broke apart. Ye Futian looked at the battlefield before him, after which he dashed forward and shouted, “Attack.” Then, they also joined the battlefield.

An enormous figure walked towards them, trying to crush their bodies under its feet. With a splashing sound, a large amount of martial arts fate Ye Futian had turned into vines which swept out and bound the body of the spirit. Yu Sheng and Ye Wuchen ascended into the air simultaneously. Yu Sheng punched out in the air, while Ye Wuchen struck out with his sword. Immediately, the figure burst into pieces. However, at the same time, a stronger might enveloped them. Ye Futian only felt an invisible force engulfing him as his body became ever heavier. Then, the sage-level spirit walked towards the intruders. At once, everyone felt an extremely powerful pressure.

He stopped above everyone, after which he stomped his feet. In this instant, a few people gave a muffled humph each and their faces turned pale. Ye Futian felt an invisible foot stepping onto him, shaking his body in an overpowering manner.

The figure walked down from the sky. Many people were forced down from the sky as they were enduring a terrifying amount of pressure.

“Attack!” Chen Wang held the sword with both of his hands and sunlight tore everything apart. The power within his body and that of martial arts fate erupted together. Even the sky seemed to be cut into two pieces as a beam of light struck down from the middle. Meanwhile, a frightening storm appeared, which was released from an ancient bell in Jin Yunlang’s hand. The vast golden storm turned into thousands of lines and enveloped the sage-like figure.

Various cultivators attacked at the same instant not only just to kill their enemy, but also to obtain the martial arts fate. Although everyone would get their share according to the plan, they still hoped that they would obtain it first as it was safer.

They knew clearly that many people here had the ability to pass the seventh level by themselves. After all, they had sage ritual implements. However, it was much more difficult to fight alone and they would never pass the eighth level. Hence, when such people teamed up, the seventh level could not stop them at all.

Bang, bang, bang… Many attacks landed on the powerful martial arts spirit simultaneously and his body started cracking apart. Immediately, many people charged out wildly, including Ye Futian and his friends.

Suddenly, a brilliant beam of light struck down. Ye Futian seemed to see a real Roc diving towards him. He struck out the rod in his hand, after which the martial arts fate was crushed. The dazzling Roc-like sword tore apart everything and even cleaved space open. Ye Futian and his friends flew backward quickly. Then, they saw a figure floating in the sky. It was Jin Yunxiao who had battled with Yu Sheng before.

“What are you doing?” Gu Yunxi questioned angrily, walking forward. At the moment, Jin Yunxiao was holding an extremely terrifying Roc-like sword which was a sage ritual implement. If Ye Futian was not careful just now, he could have died from the attack directly.

Jin Yunxiao stood there proudly and flapped his wings. He glanced at Ye Futian and his friends with much contempt and ridicule. Then, he looked at Gu Yunxi. Smiling, he said, “Gu Yunxi, they are not entitled to touch sage-level martial arts fate. The alliance this time does not include them, but they actually tried to fish in troubled waters. How ridiculous!”

Chapter 463: Acquirement

Jin Yunxiao did not even think about obtaining the sage martial arts fate himself. Based on his level, it was clearly not his turn yet. However, Ye Futian and his friends actually wanted to battle for it. How ridiculous was that? After becoming famous on the Starry School assessment day, and receiving Celestial Pavilion from Dragon Clan, Ye Futian could not even seem to remember who he was.

Zhen Rong wanted to rope him in, but only as her battle servant. Long Ling’er had a very good relationship with him, but even the next leader of the Dragon Clan, Long Mu, did not acknowledge his position. Was Ye Futian trying to join them just because of his identity as the owner of Celestial Pavilion? That would be impossible. Ye Futian and his friends could at most stay in the seventh level.

Yu Sheng looked at Jin Yunxiao, wanting to walk up, but Ye Futian extended his arm to stop him. On the other side, the spirit was annihilated and the martial arts fate was obtained by Jin Yunxiao’s brother, Jin Yunlang. Realizing this, the smile on Jin Yunxiao’s face grew brighter. Since Jin Yunlang had obtained the fate, he would certainly have his share as well. He would surely be able to enter the eighth level.

Some people looked enviously at Jin Yunlang but did not say anything because of the agreement. Jin Yunlang could obtain the martial arts fate not because he was stronger than everyone else, but because of his sage ritual implement.

“What’s happening?” Jin Yunlang asked, looking at Jin Yunxiao.

“Nothing. A few people want to sneak into the team and obtain sage martial arts fate,” Jin Yunlang mocked him.

“Who are they?” Jin Yunlang glanced emotionlessly at Ye Futian and his friends. He did not know who they were.

“You need to ask Long Mu that.” With a smile on his face, Jin Yunxiao looked at Long Mu, who only had a cold expression. Ignoring Ye Futian, Long Mu said, “They’re not with me. Let’s continue forward.”

“Wouldn’t more people make our journey easier?” Gu Ming frowned and looked at Jin Yunxiao in dissatisfaction.

“We don’t need that.” Jin Yunxiao smiled, after which he turned around and left.

“Let’s go,” Chen Wang shouted. Zhen Rong glanced emotionlessly at Ye Futian and did not say anything. It seemed like Ye Futian’s journey would more or less end here. Jin Yunxiao and Long Mu both disliked Ye Futian and would certainly not bring him along. Moreover, Ye Futian also rejected her and Chen Liu.

“Brother, why not we go with Ye Futian instead?” Gu Yunxi said to Gu Ming, intending to team up with Ye Futian.

Ye Futian looked at Gu Yunxi in surprise. She had a slender body and charming appearance and had always been very friendly towards him. However, at such a moment, Gu Yunxi would actually want to follow him instead. It was indeed unexpected.

Gu Ming frowned and said, “If we team up, we should be able to pass the seventh level, but not the next one.” Then, he glanced at the people who were already leaving. If the rest all passed the eighth level but he did not, he might miss many things.

“Miss Gu, you should go with them. Don’t be bothered with us,” Ye Futian said.

“But…” Gu Yunxi was somewhat hesitant. The attitudes of Jin Yunxiao and the rest just now were very disrespectful. Furthermore, the hit from Jin Yunxiao earlier was very dangerous.

“Thank you for your understanding,” Gu Ming nodded at Ye Futian.

“Just go,” Ye Futian said to Gu Yunxi, who nodded gently. Smiling, she said, “Mr. Ye, be careful then!”

“Of course,” Ye Futian nodded. Gu Ming and Gu Yunxi left to catch up with the others. He smiled and said, “It seems like we need to acquire some sage martial arts fate before we can pass the seventh level. Well, let’s begin!” After speaking, he walked in the opposite direction.

Soon, Ye Futian and his friends came to a place. Not far before them, a huge sword was inserted vertically into the ground, where there were also many deep and frightening cracks. Darkness surrounded them as if it was the end of the world.

Around the huge sword, there were countless sharp swords as well, all releasing a terrifying wave of Sword Will. On the giant sword, a martial arts spirit was standing. He stood there quietly, but everyone could feel much sharpness from him as if he had fused completely with the Sword Will around him.

Suddenly, the swords started trembling, producing a clanking sound. An invisible wave of Sword Will whizzed over in the air, and even the sky turned dimmer. Then, the figure on the sword pointed his finger forward. Immediately, endless Sword Will charged towards Ye Futian and his friends simultaneously. Looking at the boundless Sword Will, Ye Futian felt that he was extremely tiny, while the figure standing on the sword looked like an unparalleled Sword God.

“Don’t be tricked by the willpower.” Some sharpness suddenly flashed across Ye Futian’s eyes. They were facing against a sage martial arts fate. It was as if the spirit before them had the will of a sage. Hence, they must not be careless.

The martial arts fate around Ye Futian’s body converged and turned into an astonishing light curtain right before them. At the same time, the martial arts fate roared wildly and a powerful force gathered around him. Reaching out his hand, Ye Futian held the Five Element Rod and stomped fiercely on the ground, after which the brilliant wings of the Roc appeared on his back. As he waved the Five Element Rod, a formidable curtain appeared before him, blocking the Sword Will.

Ye Futian struck the Five Element Rod down, bringing along a monstrous force produced from the martial arts fate. However, the figure on the huge sword looked at Ye Futian and pointed his finger out at Ye Futian again. Three thousand gusts of Sword Will seemed to have converged and charged out at him. Following a loud bang, the appalling power of the swords blocked Ye Futian’s incoming attack before he could actually strike the rod fully. Meanwhile, an endless amount of Sword Will howled and continued attacking the intruder, attempting to eliminate the powerful field around him.

Just then, the Sage Treasure Book behind Loulan Xue released a frightening amount of coldness. Cold light bloomed wildly and shone onto the figure, causing the frequency of the trembling sharp swords to drop significantly. At the same time, Yu Sheng jumped into the air. His demonic wings flashed out and the demonic tripod in his hands expanded rapidly. Then, he struck it down from above and an endless amount of demonic force charged out as if there were numerous devils present.

Ye Wuchen’s sword also arrived. With the Alkaid in his hand, he struck the sword out and reached his target in an instant. The figure raised his head and looked at the sky. Then, he reached out his other hand and pointed it in that direction. Many gusts of Sword Will created a sword veil which blotted out the sky.

Bang! Then, Ye Futian’s rod destroyed the Sword Will in his path. His body rotated wildly in the sky, and an astounding illusory figure appeared behind him. It looked like a divine ape which, however, had an enormous pair of golden wings on its back. Ye Futian traced out a dazzling arc in the sky, after which he struck out the rod in mid-air, eliminating the Sword Will all around him.

Ye Futian’s rod continued to dance and martial arts fate filled the sky. Then, he struck out for a second time and crushed all the Sword Will before him.

Noticing the incoming Ye Futian, the figure below him reached out his palm. Right away, the endless Sword Will turned into a gigantic sword which appeared horizontally between him and Ye Futian. However, the rod broke the sword into two and continued its way down.

On the other hand, Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and Loulan Xue attacked together, with the Black Wind Condor cheering for them at the side. Their destructive attacks flew towards the figure. Accompanied by a loud bang, the figure was hit and trembled fiercely.

“Wuchen, come!” Ye Futian shouted. He and Yu Sheng stepped backward, while Ye Wuchen pierced into the head of his opponent with his sword. At once, the figure turned into a sword rain. Meanwhile, some martial arts fate landed on Ye Wuchen’s body.

The swords below them were all crushed in this instant.

“Such powerful martial arts fate,” Ye Wuchen remarked. They had been acquiring martial arts fate along with their entire journey so he could clearly feel the difference between this one and the previous ones. The fate this time was way stronger and it was as if it could even allow him to understand the art of swords better.

“You should feel it first. We’re not in a hurry,” Ye Futian said. Ye Wuchen nodded, after which he sat down directly and started cultivating. After quite a long while, some Sword Will flew around his body and his cultivation ended. Then, he nodded at Ye Futian.

“Let’s continue to find more martial arts fate.” Ye Futian smiled. There was so much precious martial arts fate in the seventh level so they definitely had to acquire more. It was indeed a great opportunity. It was no wonder that all the Top Three School disciples wanted to enter the battlefield. However, the seventh level had already given them a tremendous amount of pressure. The eighth and ninth levels must be harder. Nevertheless, Ye Futian was really looking forward to it.

They continued their advance and soon, they arrived at another place. Before them, there was an enormous, ten-meter-tall figure which looked like an ancient god.

Noticing Ye Futian and his team, the figure stomped on the ground with his foot. A loud rumbling was produced and even the ground trembled for it. Then, he raised his palm and slapped towards Ye Futian and his friends. Many giant palm prints pressed down from the sky, blotting out their view and crushing everything around.

Ye Wuchen suddenly moved. Having just obtained the sage martial arts fate, he would naturally bear the most amount of pressure. He struck out the Alkaid and immediately, the martial arts fate around him all turned into sword fate. Thousands of waves of Sword Will charged out from mid-air and actually split the palm prints open directly.

Ye Futian and the rest dashed forward together, surrounding their enemy. The figure stomped on the ground with an incredible force, after which he punched out fiercely. Ye Futian struck out his rod and actually felt a terrifying counterforce from his rod. He was blown backward, but the arm of his enemy also trembled wildly.

Ye Wuchen’s sword arrived like a bolt of lightning, striking onto that arm. However, a shocking light glittered on the giant, and the arm was actually not cut off. His defense was extremely strong.

Ye Wuchen turned into a sword and appeared before the head of the giant. Then, the sword pierced out towards his forehead with thousands of Sword Will whizzing over. The enormous figure closed his eyes and his body trembled greatly.

“Yu Sheng!” Ye Wuchen raised his head when he saw Yu Sheng descend from the sky. The monstrous demonic tripod landed onto the head of the giant, producing a continuous rumbling sound. Finally, the giant’s body was crushed and martial arts fate enveloped Yu Sheng’s body.

“He’s so strong,” Ye Futian said, smiling. “Yu Sheng, you should cultivate here.”

“No need. When we get more martial arts fate, we’ll cultivate together,” Yu Sheng said.

“That’s fine as well. We’ll acquire some more fate and cultivate together. After that, we’ll enter the eighth level,” Ye Futian agreed. Then, they left and headed for other places, looking for more martial arts fate.

Time passed by unknowingly.

In the martial arts battlefield, there was only a small minority who could enter the seventh level. Apart from the people in the alliance earlier, even if someone did enter the seventh level, it would be extremely difficult for them to acquire the martial arts fate here. Many people would even die in this place.

Outside the martial arts battlefield, the cultivators from the Top Three Schools and Divine Sky City were all waiting. They were all very patient. Every year, the opening of the martial arts battlefield was a major event for Divine Sky City. In particular, they would know who could enter the seventh level of the battlefield or even more. The people here all wondered which geniuses could do so this time.

Chapter 464: Conflict Outbreak

The eighth level of the martial arts battlefield was far smaller than the previous seven levels. In nine different directions on the eighth level, there were nine sky-high bridges. They went all the way up, as if they were divine bridges leading to the heavens.

One of the nine divine bridges, however, had already collapsed. It seemed like it was completely destroyed in a terrifying battle. The central portion of the bridge was ruptured.

The place where the bridges led to was precisely the destination of the martial arts battlefield, namely the ninth level. When Ye Futian and his friends entered the eighth level, they immediately saw vague images of heavenly palaces.

Looking at the scene before them, they all felt somewhat surprised. Apart from the bridge that had collapsed, the other eight all had a frightening sight on them and were guarded by very powerful figures. They were the first group to arrive here. The allied cultivators from the Top Three Schools needed to obtain even more sage martial arts fate as they had more people. Thus, they were not on the eighth level yet.

“It is said that over hundreds of years, only Long Yitian managed to pass this level. Did he walk up the bridge that has already collapsed?” Ye Futian muttered. If just like before, one could only enter the ninth level after obtaining the martial arts fate on the eighth level, then even though those cultivators had allied, they could not all pass through. Only a few of them could at most.

Of course, they had to defeat the guardians of the eight divine bridges first. Moreover, if Ye Futian, his three friends, and the Black Wind Condor all wanted to go through, they also had to destroy five bridges.

“Which one do we choose first?” Ye Futian asked. They had already found the fights in the seventh level very challenging. At the moment, the guardians of the eighth level must be stronger. Before they battled, they were also not very confident.

Why did the geniuses from the Top Three Schools who had sage ritual implements team up? It was precisely because they wanted to pass the eighth level and enter the final place of the battlefield.

“You decide,” Ye Wuchen said.

“Then let’s just try the one in front first.” Ye Futian looked before him. The rest nodded, after which they walked forward and stepped onto the bridge right before them.

In the middle of the bridge, there was a shocking golden symbol. An endless amount of golden radiance poured down, as if there were countless ancient characters as well. The whole sky was filled with the color of gold.

In that place, there was a person standing. He was wearing a piece of golden armor and looked like an all-powerful divine general. As he scanned Ye Futian and his team, they realized that even his pupils were gold in color. His hair looked as sharp as many golden blades. There was no wind and yet his hair was swinging in the air, looking very formidable.

“Be careful,” Ye Futian reminded. The person before him gave him a sense of extreme danger. Even though he had obtained sage martial arts fate, he still dared not to be even slightly careless. Even in the seventh level, they needed to team up to defeat their enemies. At the moment, their opponents in the eighth level would only be more powerful. After all, over hundreds of years, only Long Yitian managed to succeed.

With the martial arts fate, Ye Futian could unleash the combat power equivalent to the peak of the Arcana Plane, but his own level was significantly lower. Therefore, his combat power would clearly be affected.

The figure before them glanced emotionlessly at them with his golden pupils. Then, both of his hands rotated slightly in the air. At once, a horrifying wave of sharpness filled the sky. Ye Futian and his friends raised their heads only to see many razor-sharp golden spears appear above them.

“Attack!” Just after Ye Futian said so, he dashed out like a bolt of lightning. Almost at the same instant, the golden spears in the sky fell down vertically and turned into many beams of golden light, attempting to nail the intruders onto the bridge forever.

Loulan Xue moved and ascended into the air. She looked at the sky with her silver pupils and the Sage Treasure Book bloomed. At once, an appalling snowstorm erupted and the falling spears all seemed to be frozen and slowed. However, they were still releasing their dazzling golden radiance and continued their way down.

A frightening silver radiance was released from Loulan Xue’s eyes. She lifted her hands into the air and an even stronger snowstorm swept out towards the sky, as if she was supporting the entire sky.

The sharp blades stopped gradually and were frozen within the snowstorm, but Loulan Xue only felt very worried. The first attack was already so powerful.

On the other hand, Ye Futian approached their opponent. At the moment, the figure before him was floating above the divine bridge. He extended his arm and right away, a formidable golden symbol appeared from his palm. The symbol rotated and enlarged rapidly, eventually turning enormous. Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Ye Wuchen’s attacks landed on the symbol, producing a loud bang. Many cracks appeared on the symbol, but it was not completely destroyed yet.

The figure rotated his hands again and the symbol dissipated. Then, many golden spears appeared and charged towards the intruders, but this time at a very close distance.

Ye Wuchen’s arm trembled. Immediately, a sword veil was formed in the sky, blocking at spears in the same way. After that, he struck the Alkaid forward and thousands of blades of light charged towards the figure continuously.

On the other hand, Yu Sheng leaped into the air and fell down from the sky. Martial arts fate circled around him, and he looked as powerful as an ancient god who could crush the earth beneath his feet and turn into a devil. Ye Futian’s body rotated in the air. Thousands of golden vines swept out and blotted out the sky.

The figure still looked as calm as ever. He moved his arms and immediately, three halos appeared around him. The sides of the halos seemed to be carved with many ancient characters. Then, the halos rotated wildly and turned into enormous symbols again. When the attacks of Ye Futian and his friends landed, they were all blocked by the symbols. Furthermore, as the golden halos rotated rapidly, they actually turned into very sharp blades that destroyed everything around them.

Boom! A frightening beam of golden light bloomed and Ye Futian, as well as Yu Sheng and Ye Wuchen, were all blown backward. Floating in the air, they gazed at the general-like figure and were all astonished. The eighth level was indeed much more difficult than the seventh. It was no wonder that over hundreds of years, only Long Yitian managed to succeed. From this, it could also be deduced how unparalleled Long Yitian actually was. It was no wonder that until today, many people still remembered him and would frequently mention his name.

Suddenly, a group of cultivators walked towards their direction from outside the divine bridge. They were precisely those from the Top Three Schools. At the moment, there were fewer of them left, but those who did were all powerful elites. When they saw Ye Futian and his friends, they could not help being momentarily stunned. Ye Futian and his team actually also managed to obtain sage martial arts fate and reach here.

“Mr. Ye is indeed extraordinarily talented.” Noticing Ye Futian and his friends, Gu Yunxi smiled brightly. Just now, she was still worried that they were left behind by the allied team. Now, it seemed like she was worried about nothing. Even without the rest, Ye Futian and his friends could still obtain sage martial arts fate.

On the other hand, Jin Yunxiao, Long Mu, and some others frowned. If they were alone, it would be quite difficult to pass the seventh level, but Ye Futian actually managed to reach here. Even though he had a few people with him, it was still an amazing result. This meant that they had still underestimated the group before them.

Ye Futian also sensed the people behind him. Turning around, he saw them walking towards him with Chen Wang in front. Chen Wang showed no intention of fighting and only said, “Continue the battle.”

Ye Futian looked at Chen Wang and frowned gently. With these people eyeing them, it was clearly inappropriate for them to continue fighting. In the seventh level, these people did not even allow Ye Futian and his friends to contest for the sage martial arts fate. In the more important eighth level, they would clearly not allow it as well. Obviously, Chen Want wanted to use their battles to see the power of the golden figure. Furthermore, he could use any opportunities present to attack suddenly.

“You can go first.” Ye Futian smiled and stepped backward. Yu Sheng and the rest understood his meaning and all retreated.

“Don’t be polite. When I ask you to battle, just go,” Chen Wang continued, staring at Ye Futian and his friends. He was confident about passing the seventh level, but not so much for the eighth level which only Long Yitian had managed to. Hence, he wanted Ye Futian to test it out first.

“We’re not strong enough, unlike you geniuses from various clans and schools. You should go first,” Ye Futian said “humbly.”

“Just go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?” a cultivator from Zhen Clan also said coldly. He knew the purpose of Chen Wang’s words.

Then, Ye Futian realized that the cultivators actually started to block off the path on the bridge so that they could not leave.

“What do you mean?” Ye Futian frowned.

Jin Yunxiao sneered and looked at Ye Futian. What do they mean? It was obvious; they wanted Ye Futian to test everything out.

“Since you’re already here, there’s no need for you to leave. Just go and continue,” Chen Wang said calmly. Since Ye Futian was not with him, he would use him as much as he could. As for the attitudes of Ye Futian and his friends, Chen Wang would clearly not be bothered.

“I’m sorry but I am no longer interested in it.” Ye Futian smiled. Just then, he ascended into the air and the rest also followed him closely, trying to retreat.

Chen Wang drew his sword out and struck forward. Immediately, the brilliant Sun Sword penetrated across space and many blazing beams of light charged towards Ye Futian and his team, incinerating everything in their path.

Loulan Xue’s silver clothes swang in the air and an ice storm appeared suddenly, blocking the incoming attack. However, at the same time, a Roc-like figure arrived like a bolt of lightning. It was Jin Yunlang. He took out his sage ritual implement, the ancient bell, and struck towards Loulan Xue. At once, the ice storm was torn apart and many terrifying Rocs charged towards Loulan Xue.

Loulan Xue’s hands danced in the air and many frightening ice palm prints pressed down, but they were all destroyed by the ritual implement. Jin Yunlang dashed out like lightning and launched his attack, which Loulan Xue could only hastily respond by punching forward. Following a sizzling sound, her sleeves were crushed, displaying her jade-like skin, and a blood mark appeared on her palm from Jin Yunlang’s scratch.

Jin Yunlang had similarly obtained sage marital arts fate. Furthermore, he was at the peak of the Arcana Plane himself.

Jin Yunlang wanted to continue attacking Loulan Xue, but Yu Sheng fell down from the sky and punched put fiercely like a demonic god. The attacks of the two collided into each other. The sky shook, and both of them were blown backward simultaneously.

Then, Bai Qiong, the genius of Starry School, looked at the sky. He extended his arm out at the sky and an extremely powerful gravity appeared, slowing the speed of Ye Futian and his team.

“Don’t waste any more time on them,” Liu Suqing said.

Bai Qiong nodded, after which he punched out, causing even the space to be shaken. An invisible punch seemed to penetrate across space and charge towards Ye Futian and his friends.

“Since you chose not to fight, then scram out of this level!” Bai Qiong said emotionlessly, glancing at Ye Futian and his team.

Chapter 465: Worship Me Like a God ##

 

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ye Wuchen, Yu Sheng, and Loulan Xue stared at the arrogant people below them, and martial arts fate whizzed around their bodies. Ye Wuchen held his sword tightly with his single arm, while Yu Sheng clenched his fists with demonic light flashing in his eyes.

Ye Futian, on the other hand, seemed to be very relaxed instead, as if he was not bothered at all. There was even a gentle, harmless smile on his face.

“In this case, please be careful then. Bye.” After that, he retreated backward.

Yu Sheng and Ye Wuchen both looked at him.

“Let’s go,” Ye Futian said and did not turn back. Then, Yu Sheng and Ye Wuchen followed him. Loulan Xue scanned emotionlessly below her with her silver pupils, after which she caught up with Ye Futian with the Black Wind Condor. They actually really left the eighth level of the battlefield and returned to the seventh level.

“Talented?” Jin Yunxiao smiled mockingly. The fact that Ye Futian could reach here indeed proved his talents, but so what? The people who were still remaining here at the moment were those in Divine Sky City with the best talents and highest statuses. Even though Ye Futian was outstanding, he was still not at the same level as the rest of them.

There had been many arrogant and confident talents like Ye Futian in the past. But in the end, they would all be defeated by reality. Divine Sky City was ultimately still represented by the people who could now remain in the eighth level.

Gu Yunxi obviously knew this as well. She felt somewhat sad, somewhat unresigned for Ye Futian, but what could she do? Ye Futian did not even attempt to struggle himself. Some things were just there and could not be crossed. It was unless he was the kind of person who could stand at the top of his generation. Then, he could be above everyone else just with his talents, including their positions and statuses.

Such a person could ignore everything else. But even so, he still had to keep to a low profile before he could grow up. Otherwise, he might never have the chance to. This was the cruelty of reality.

The people left in the eighth level did not think too much. To them, Ye Futian was not the same kind of person as them. Even though they might be enemies with and compete against each other, they still had similar statuses, but not Ye Futian.

Just like what Liu Suqing had said earlier, there was no need to waste any time on Ye Futian and his friends. Everything that followed would be much more important. They had to pass the bridges and enter the legendary ninth level.

There were records about the eighth level in their respective clans. However, nobody knew what was in the ninth level of the martial arts battlefield, apart possibly from Long Mu.

They stepped forward and towards the divine bridges. Everyone looked extremely serious and took out their sage ritual implements. On the other hand, Ye Futian and his friends returned to the seventh level.

“We could have fought them,” Yu Sheng said, looking at Ye Futian. Those people had already been disrespectful towards Ye Futian for a few times. If Ye Futian did not ask him to leave, he would certainly not tolerate them any longer.

“Many of them are top geniuses of the Top Three Schools. Furthermore, they are members of powerful clans and have sage ritual implements. If we really fight them, we’ll not know if we can win. Even if we win, how do we clear the mess up?” Ye Futian said, looking back at Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng knew what Ye Futian meant. They still had to stay in Divine Sky City, so if they really did something serious, the clans behind those people could kill them easily.

Nevertheless, Yu Sheng still felt rather upset and added, “So we just give up?”

“Of course not.” Ye Futian looked at the entrance to the eighth level and continued, “With our current conditions, even if we can enter the ninth level, we’ll not be able to achieve anything further.”

Hearing his words, Ye Wuchen’s pupils contracted slightly. Ye Futian was already considering the situation in the ninth level.

Indeed, with their powers, they might be able to pass the eighth level. However, since the eighth level was already so difficult after they passed it, they might face even more powerful martial arts spirits in the last level. Of course, it was also possible that there were no spirits in the ninth level, but that would seem unlikely. After all, there were spirits in all the first eight levels.

Over hundreds of years, only Long Yitian managed to pass the eighth level of the martial arts battlefield, but nobody knew whether he had obtained anything from the ninth level. Perhaps, he did not receive anything there and only acquired the martial arts fate in the eighth level.

“What’s your plan?” Loulan Xue could vaguely guess what Ye Futian was going to do.

“Scram out?” Thinking of the words of Bai Qiong earlier, Ye Futian smiled and said, “Let’s rest first.” Then, he sat down cross-legged and started to rest calmly. It seemed like he was understanding the martial arts fate he had obtained.

Yu Sheng and the rest sat down as well. Ye Futian should already have a plan in his mind.

After a while, a frightening aura erupted from Ye Futian. Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and Loulan Xue opened their eyes and looked at Ye Futian one after another. A brilliant beam of golden light ascended into the air from his body as the aura around him became increasingly stronger. Ye Futian was completely showered in Emperor’s Light.

Martial arts fate circled around him and fused with the Emperor’s Light, making it even holier. It seemed as if Ye Futian was covered with many divine halos and he looked all-powerful.

Loulan Xue was greatly shocked. She had been a maidservant beside Ye Futian. Slowly, Ye Futian started trusting her and would allow her to see some of his secrets. She could tell that Ye Futian had a very huge secret which even Ye Wuchen might not know. The only person who might possibly know it was Yu Sheng.

“Just wait for me in this level. Little eagle, listen to my orders.” Ye Futian rubbed the head of the Black Wind Condor. He and the condor were connected through their minds so he did not have to be around it to give it any orders.

Yu Sheng stood up. Looking at Ye Futian, he asked, “Do I need to follow you?” That people there were all very powerful.

“Nope. If we go together, we’ll be exposed straightaway.” As Ye Futian spoke, the Emperor Will inside his body burnt wildly. His bloodline and physical body all became extremely strong. Then, Ye Futian took out a silver cloak and wore it. The ritual implement covered his body and water-like silver lines flew on his face, changing his appearance. After that, he turned around and walked towards the eighth level.

When Ye Futian entered the eighth level, the people there were having a fierce battle, but it was not on the bridge earlier. Instead, it was on another divine bridge. Ye Futian realized that two divine bridges had been destroyed, and there were also two people fewer in the crowd. In just one glance, he discovered the missing people: Chen Wang who had attacked him, as well as Long Mu. He could understand why Chen Wang succeeded. After all, he was at the peak of the Arcana Plane. On the other hand, he was somewhat surprised that Long Mu also passed this level. He did not know what had happened earlier.

In fact, it was not just him. Everyone else was equally surprised. At a crucial moment of the first fight, Long Mu suddenly took out a powerful divine artifact which helped him to obtain the martial arts fate. After that, he passed through the bridge and left directly. Everyone was enraged by this.

To make them even angrier, after everyone risked their lives in the second battle, Chen Wang who eventually obtained the martial arts fate did not stay. Instead, he chose to enter the ninth level directly.

Chen Wang’s idea was correct. After teaming up, they indeed managed to defeat the guardians in the eighth level. However, the outcome was no different from the previous times. Everyone still only thought about their own benefits. Such an alliance was too unreliable. Even so, everyone was still teaming up. They all hoped that they would become the third person.

However, at the moment, they were already very tired. In the battles just now, many people were injured, and Chen Wang and Long Mu also left. They realized that with their powers now, they could not really deal with the martial arts spirit before them.

Ye Futian dashed towards that divine bridge and his Emperor Will was burning. He did not have much time, so he had to make everything fast.

Following a loud bang, many people were blown backward and landed near the edge of the divine bridge. Having felt something, they turned around their heads to realize a person in a silver cloak appeared. Chen Liu shouted coldly, “Scram!”

Someone else actually managed to come. Chen Liu was in a bad mood now because his brother had left them and the rest seemed to be slightly angry with him. If it was not for the fact that he could also help in the battle, he probably would not even have the chance to participate. However, right after Chen Liu said that, he felt that something was wrong. The person in the silver cloak looked too extraordinary. The radiance of the martial arts fate around him seemed as dazzling as the fate of emperors.

A silver bolt of lightning flew in the sky. Chen Liu backed away rapidly and many flame dragons whizzed out, charging towards Ye Futian.

Buzz! The person in the silver cloak passed through the flame dragons directly with incredible speed. Following a loud bang, Chen Liu’s body was blown away at once and he was smashed forcefully onto the bridge. He could not even tell why the intruder was so fast.

“Who?” Liu Suqing turned around and glanced at Ye Futian coldly. It was the crucial moment of this battle and someone else actually appeared.

“All scram back to the seventh level.” The person in the silver cloak floated in the sky and scanned the crowd coldly. His voice was also disguised and it sounded somewhat hoarse.

“Do you know who you are talking to?” Jin Yunxiao raised his head and his golden pupils looked extremely arrogant. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, and his Life Spirit, the Roc, was behind him. Regardless of who the mysterious person was, who in Divine Sky City dared to ask all of them to scram out of this place? Was he trying to kill himself?

Ye Futian turned his head and glanced coldly at Jin Yunxiao. Then, he stepped forward and his cloak danced in the sky. Extending his arm, he grabbed towards Jin Yunxiao.

The golden martial arts fate looked like the fate of emperors and turned into an enormous palm print. This was an ability Ye Futian had learned from the sage martial arts fate in the seventh level. Since he was in disguise, he clearly could not use his own abilities to avoid being recognized in the future.

The emperor’s palm print blotted out the sky and seemed to envelop everything. Feeling the power of the attack, Jin Yunxiao struck out his Roc-like sharp sword onto the palm print. However, Emperor’s Light was glittering on the palm. The Roc-like sword hit but did not actually manage to crush the palm print. It pressed down directly and then clenched, grabbing Jin Yunxiao.

“How dare you!” someone shouted coldly. Jin Yunlang walked towards Ye Futian and his terrifying ancient bell swept out towards Ye Futian.

Ye Futian shook his arm and many brilliant beams of martial arts fate appeared before him. Then, he raised his hand and slapped out. Immediately, the color of the sky changed and many palm prints flew out one after another. At this instant, many people felt as if the enormous palm prints did not come from an Arcana Plane cultivator, but instead an emperor himself.

Boom! Multiple palm prints fused together and resonated with the sky. The all-powerful force grabbed the bell directly, rooting it to its position.

Jin Yunlang’s expression changed drastically. He tried to connect to the magical bell with his Spiritual Energy, but a horrifying willpower appeared on the bell. The willpower seemed to turn into emperor’s flames which enveloped the bell. Then, Jin Yunlang gave out a miserable cry as the connection between the bell and him was cut off forcefully. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned very pale.

Ye Futian continued waving his hand. The huge bell flew towards Jin Yunxiao who was below him.

“No…” Realizing the incoming bell, Jin Yunxiao’s expression changed greatly.

Dong! The bell rang and enveloped Jin Yunxiao directly, after which it was lifted again. Jin Yunxiao’s heart almost stood still with fright. His body trembled wildly and fear was written all over his face.

Raising his head, he looked at the figure in the silver cloak. At the moment, the mysterious person flew towards him and stopped right before him.

“I don’t know who I am talking to, but now, kneel down and worship me.” Ye Futian stared coldly at Jin Yunxiao and continued, “Like how you worship a god.”

Jin Yunxiao looked as if he had been struck by lightning and his body trembled fiercely. Looking at the all-powerful figure before him, his face turned extremely pale.

Everyone else was totally astonished.

Ye Futian asked Jin Yunxiao to worship him like a god!

Chapter 466: The Ultimate Land

---

On the divine bridge, everyone stared at the silver-hooded figure, their hearts shaking wildly. They’d never seen anyone who dared to be as arrogant before them as this person. The abnormally cold features, proud eyes, and the emperor’s martial art’s fate wrapped around him were all undefeatable. He seemed to be born into a high position, looking down on the world. Furthermore, he had such powerful combat ability. He was so strong, but they didn’t know him.

“Who are you?” Jin Yunxiao stared at Ye Futian in shock. This was everyone’s question. There were thousands of disciples from the Top Three Schools this time. It was a huge number, so it was natural that there were people they didn’t know. They barely knew the people from their own school, let alone all three top schools.

But how could someone so frightening remain nameless?

Unless this person purposely hid in the Top Three Schools, or he’d entered in a low-key way earlier this year just so he could explode now and take all the martial arts fate.

Ye Futian scanned Jin Yunxiao coldly. He walked down from the sky like a true god. Jin Yunxiao was in shock.

Boom! With the loud sound, the man stepped onto Jin Yunxiao’s head. The horrible force caused his body to shake. Then he fell to the ground as if kneeling in worship.

Lowering his head, he spat out blood while his face drained of color. He’d never imagined suffering this kind of humiliation before.

“I am Liu Suqing from the Liu Clan. Who are you? Even if you wish to enter the ninth level, there’s no need to force us to leave.” Liu Suqing was beautiful and there was no arrogance when she spoke. She was even a bit humble. No matter who the man was, he was definitely an extraordinary figure with top talent and skills.

Ye Futian didn’t even look at her. He reached out and a horrible palm appeared in the air. Liu Suqing’s expression faltered. Then the huge golden palm, like that of an emperor’s, broke through the air. She gathered martial arts fate instantly, but she was forced back with a boom. Many people were speechless to see that she was hurt. How could he do this to such a beauty?

“All the martial arts fate here is mine. If you don’t scram before I step onto the second bridge, you’ll pay for it,” Ye Futian said arrogantly. Everyone’s hearts trembled.

All the martial arts fate here was his?

He’d come to take it all without leaving anything to the rest! He was so powerful but had come later than the rest. Did he get delayed from snatching all the Sage martial arts fate in the seventh level?

Watching Ye Futian step forward, Bai Qiong suddenly reached out. A huge starry handprint appeared in the sky instantly. Pressure fell upon Ye Futian. “Still not fighting?” Bai Qiong asked coldly.

Everyone’s eyes gleamed. All these prides were scared of one person.

“You’re looking for death.” Ye Futian scanned Bai Qiong coldly. At that moment, shocking martial arts fate around him formed countless emperor handprints. They spun around him wildly. When the starry handprint pressed down, the emperor handprints flew out, shattering it.

“As expected, he has more than one type of Sage martial arts fate.” Everyone studied Ye Futian. Each type of martial arts fate could bring domineering power.

Boom. The countless brilliant emperor handprints transformed into beams of light. They whistled and whooshed. Bai Qiong was shocked. He grouped his ritual implement to defend himself, but the handprints were too fast. Bai Qiong soon couldn’t hold on anymore. The handprints landed on him. He kept spitting out blood until he dropped to the ground. His breaths were weak; he was badly hurt.

Those who had prepared to fight Ye Futian froze. They were in despair. Even the spirits guarding the bridge up front shouldn’t be so strong.

They were hopeless. These top figures of the Top Three Schools actually felt powerless. How could someone so powerful be hidden in their school?

“I won’t say the same thing three things.” With that, Ye Futian walked forward towards the strong martial arts fate cultivator. That was a horrible being bathed in flames and light. He was surrounded by a world of fire with horrible fiery images around him. He stood there like a fire god.

Ye Futian walked forward. The emperor handprints hovered behind him. Following Ye Futian’s finger, they shot forward towards the horrible figure.

The strong cultivator reached out. A frightening fiery image was born. It was like a world-burning fire. Beams of dazzling flames shot out from the images. They were about to destroy the world.

Endless light burst forth and crashed against the handprint. The horrible handprint seemed to burn. It kept going forward, but it was melting.

Boom. An even more terrifying light bloomed from Ye Futian’s body. He walked forward, charging directly towards the other.

The fire spirit reached out. Instantly, the world-destroying images shrouded Ye Futian. The world of fire was aimed at him, about to burn his body. However, the emperor-like martial arts fate around him burned with golden light. Bathed in the flames, he walked forward like an indestructible figure.

The horrible flames couldn’t burn his body. They couldn’t even hurt him.

Liu Suqing trembled while the others all widened their eyes. This man was so powerful that they felt despair. He wanted to take all the martial arts fate on the bridge for himself. He’d hidden within the Top Three Schools just for today.

Ye Futian raised his hand. All spells converged into one. The countless handprints whistled and flew to the martial arts spirit. Ye Futian had turned into golden lightning, breaking the fiery images. Then he slammed down on the spirit’s head, destroying it.

In an instant, an even stronger martial arts fate surrounded Ye Futian. He was now strong enough, but he still wanted to take all the martial arts fate. He didn’t only want to take from the eighth level either. His ultimate goal was probably the ninth level.

Ye Futian flashed towards the bridge on the side. He looked back, staring coldly at everyone. Thinking back to his words, they all felt weak.

“Let’s go,” Gu Ming said. Liu Suqing nodded. They all retreated and left this battlefield.

Zhen Rong’s pretty eyes gazed at that undefeatable figure. She always worshipped the strong figures and she wanted to get to know him. How could she not know someone like him? Then she also turned around and left.

Bai Qiong was taken out by his fellow disciples of the Starry School.

When everyone left from the exit, Ye Futian grasped the frightening fiery halberd from the bridge. He stuck it into the ground at the entrance, blocking it. At the same time, the Black Wind Eagle brought the others in from another entrance.

There were nine bridges on the eighth level of the battlefield. Every bridge had an entrance in their respective direction. There were nine entrances to the eighth level from different places in the seventh level. The place they went out from wasn’t the same as where Jin Yunxiao and the others went.

“Let’s go,” Ye Futian said. He flashed and stepped onto another bridge. There was a majestic figure with a battle ax. There was another battle ax stuck in the bridge behind him. It was a Sage ritual implement, just like the fiery halberd.

Each of the nine bridges had a Sage ritual implement. However, the spirits here wouldn’t use the ritual implement against the intruders.

The figure with the battle ax was wrapped in a horrible gale of wind. When Ye Futian’s handprint attacked, he brought his ax down. The horrible wind wrapped around the ax. Instantly, the apparition of a huge tornado battle ax appeared in the air. It split the air apart, including the handprint.

The Five Element Rod appeared in Ye Futian’s hand and it turned into a golden staff. Those people weren’t here right now, so he didn’t have to hide his skills.

His Emperor’s Will burned and the martial arts fate was applied to the Five Element Rod. He spun and slammed down from the air. However, the figure’s second attack was even stronger. It also built up potential energy and rode the windstorm. It contained shocking power and attacked.

With a huge boom, it seemed even the sky would explode. The battle ax formed by martial arts fate was shattered, but Ye Futian was also forced back. However, his body danced like a streak of light. Even stronger might wrapped around him, slicing down.

The battle ax formed again and went for Ye Futian.

Boom. With another explosion, the battle ax extinguished again. The Five Element Rod fell on the spirit’s shoulder, cracking his body.

“Yu Sheng,” Ye Futian called.

Yu Sheng answered by hurling down the Demonic Tripod, crushing the spirit. Martial arts fate fell upon his body.

“It’s up to you here,” Ye Futian said, looking at Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng nodded and saw Ye Futian walk towards the end of the bridge. Long Yitian could succeed in this level back then. Yu Sheng had a lower plane, but after taking martial arts fate from the eighth level, he would be able to defeat the other guards.

Ye Futian couldn’t maintain his state for too long. He had to check out the ninth level.

The nine bridges converged at one point. That was the entrance to the ninth level. He could vaguely make out a blurry pavilion. Ye Futian kept walking forward to the end. He released his martial arts fate and walked amongst it.

Instantly, he disappeared from the eighth level.

The battlefield of the ninth level was the Ultimate Land. It had become smaller too. There was only one scene. A divine palace reaching the clouds in the sky was rooted there. There was only one staircase that led up to the palace. But right now, there were two figures at the foot. They were Chen Wang and Long Mu who’d reached the ninth level. However, they were still standing at the bottom and looking up, feeling helpless.

They couldn’t go up.

There were 18 figures on the steps. Each one was as powerful as the ones guarding the bridges in the eighth level. This already made them despair because they’d gotten help to reach this level. They didn’t do it by themselves.

Chen Wang and Long Mu seemed to sense something. They turned around to see a silver-hooded figure walk over. They both furrowed their brows.

They didn’t know this man.

After they’d entered, other people were probably trying to break in but no one came in. And yet this unknown man had entered. This naturally made them alert. The abilities of people who could come here were undisputed. If he came alone, then it was even more frightening. He must be someone extremely dangerous.

Since when did the Top Three Schools have such a strong cultivator?

“Who are you?” Chen Wang asked.

“Why don’t you go up?” Ye Futian ignored his question, gazing coldly at Chen Wang.

“It isn’t easy to climb up. How about we team up?” Chen Wang asked. He and Long Mu couldn’t do it, but the three of them could try together.

“Do you even qualify?”

Ye Futian glanced at him in disdain. Chen Wang’s expression stiffened. Seeing Ye Futian’s disdainful eyes, he felt extreme humiliation. But then, Ye Futian walked forward to the steps.

Martial arts fate wrapped around him. The strongest was still the fire martial arts fate, which he’d received from the fire spirit in the eighth level. Right now, the burning Emperor’s Will carried the martial arts fate. Ye Futian was instantly bathed in horrible fire.

He closed his eyes, feeling the power around him. The Sage martial arts fate seemed to be made from a bit of Sage Will. When some type of spell was merged into it, martial arts fate was created.

Urged by the Emperor Will, his perception of the Sage martial arts fate intensified and strengthened. If the spirits at the steps were similar to the ones guarding the bridges, there would be no suspense.

At this moment, Ye Futian seemed to sense the power of the spirits guarding the bridges earlier. It was so clear.

Boom. Extremely dazzling handprints hovered around Ye Futian. They all glowed with frightening gold light as if divine fire was inside them.

Ye Futian waved his hands and all the handprints came from all directions. They wove a frightening image before him. It was like the power released by the bridge guards but different. He had his own comprehension and had added the earlier martial arts fate and Emperor Will.

The moment he opened his eyes, shocking light burst from his eyes. Then he waved his hand and the rays of light shot from the image. It wasn’t fiery light. Instead, it was destructive fiery handprints with golden light, driven by the Emperor Will.

Thud. At almost the same time, Ye Futian took a step forward onto the stairs.

The first strong cultivator bathed in endless thunder and lightning. Seeing the attack, the shield of a thunder god appeared before him. The handprints attacked crazily. Cracks snaked through the shield formed by boundless lightning. Fire crept in and burned it bit by bit. Finally, the shield shattered with a boom. The thunder might went wild.

Boom. Ye Futian disappeared and reappeared before the spirit. He moved like lightning, instantly arriving there. The image before him crushed down on the spirit who instantly burned under it. Its martial arts fate landed on Ye Futian.

“This…” Long Mu’s arms trembled. Chen Wang also gaped at Ye Futian’s figure. How could he be so powerful? When they’d been going through the bridge, they’d only succeeded by working together with many others. Then they couldn’t take a single step at the ninth level. But this man went up by himself and destroyed the strong cultivator there. When did the Top Three Schools have such a powerful disciple?

Another ring of martial arts fate circled him. Ye Futian paused at the steps. Then he released a second martial arts fate. It transformed into the shield of the thunder god before him. The entire sky was filled with boundless electric light. Legendary divine light flowed through the shield.

“Impossible.” Long Mu stared at this with wide eyes. It wasn’t perfect yet, but how could someone comprehend the martial arts fate so quickly?

Ye Futian had just used Freedom Meditation to comprehend it and then used the Emperor Will to activate the martial arts fate. It wasn’t perfect, but Long Mu and Chen Wang were still impressed.

Boom. There was another huge sound. Long Mu and Chen Wang saw a second spirit get destroyed. Ye Futian continued forward. Each step contained extreme power. He seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

After that, the third, the fourth… As Ye Futian kept climbing, Long Mu and Chen Wang realized that these steps probably couldn’t stop this man.

Long Mu grasped his ritual implement. His father had given it to him. He also knew that his father had failed on this path. He hoped he could walk up here and see the end of the martial arts battlefield. However, he couldn’t take a single step. And yet this mysterious silver-hooded figure kept walking up steadily. Gradually, he reached the last step.

Chen Wang stared at him blankly. At the last attack, the figure stepped down from the air. The godlike figure was ingrained in Chen Wang’s mind, unable to be erased. He’d learned all the power contained in the 18 strong cultivators.

The silver hood flapped despite the absence of wind. The man walked to the door of the palace.

Long Mu and Chen Wang shot forward. They wanted to step into it desperately. But when they were about to climb up, Ye Futian turned around. He stared at them with cold eyes. At that moment, a figure appeared in their minds. Like a god, the figure made them feel powerless. Then they saw the god cast a handprint that covered the sky and shrouded the entire world they could sense.

They fought back, but there was no suspense. When the hand fell down, they’d returned to the bottom of the steps. Sprawled on the ground, they spat out blood. Their organs felt shattered.

Long Mu looked up at the figure with difficulty. Martial arts fate wrapped around him. He really did look like a god. Then he saw Ye Futian turn around and walk into the palace.

Boom. The gates closed shut. Formless power shook. That instant, the entire battlefield seemed to tremble.

“What’s going on?” That moment, everyone in the vast battlefield froze and looked into the distance. The battlefield had actually shaken.

Long Mu and Chen Wang sat on the ground. Looking at the closed doors, they felt horrible.

Back then, Long Yitian had reached this place and was known as the most talented man in the Divine Sky City. They’d reached this spot too now, but they had used other people’s help to get here.

And then they witnessed someone who was probably more powerful than Long Yitian. Not only had he reached this spot, he’d also broken into the palace. But right now, they didn’t even know who it was.

A while later, they heard booms. Long Mu and Chen Wang’s expressions changed slightly. They looked up to see the palace flash with extremely dazzling light. The light radiated through the entire battlefield. Like some kind of divine power, it splashed across the place.

The palace was shaking.

Then, the battlefield started shaking too. It grew stronger until the people were trembling too. Rocks fell from the palace as if it was collapsing. At that moment, the people trying to get martial arts fate discovered that the spirits before them suddenly disappeared.

“What’s happening?” Countless hearts quivered. Was the battlefield collapsing? What had happened?

“Look at the ninth level.” Many people looked over. They discovered in shock that the blurry palace was breaking down bit by bit. It was getting destroyed.

Long Mu and Chen Wang were there. When they witnessed it with their own eyes, they realized that the battlefield was probably self-destructing because it had found the one it was looking for.

Just at that time, a figure charged out of the palace. It was that silver-hooded figure. He was so fast, directly shooting out of the ninth level.

When he’d returned to the eighth level, he saw that the Black Wind Eagle had already transformed into a demon bird and was waiting for orders. Yu Sheng and the others were there too. When Ye Futian landed on the bird’s back, it flashed hurriedly and rushed out from another exit.

Even if the battlefield wasn’t collapsing, Ye Futian would still take them away. They couldn’t stay on the eighth level.

Right now, the strong cultivators outside the battlefield all looked up in shock. The mysterious space was buzzing. It seemed to be shaking.

“What happened?” Some strong cultivators had sharp gazes. Nothing like this had happened in countless years.

“Mother, what’s going on?” Long Ling’er asked her mom.

“I don’t know.” Madame Long shook her head. “It must be something big.”

Her expression was solemn. The martial arts battlefield was extremely important. It was a significant place for the martial arts fate of the Top Three Schools. However, just as the shaking grew stronger, someone rushed out.

“What’s going on?” many people asked at the same time.

The disciple who’d escaped looked up at the crowd with incredulous eyes. “The battlefield is collapsing,” he said.

“That’s impossible,” a strong cultivator said. “What happened?”

“I don’t know. I just saw the palace on the ninth level flash, the light reaching the entire battlefield. Then the palace started collapsing. The battlefield followed,” he said, body trembling.

After that, more disciples walked out. Someone said in shock, “All the spirits disappeared.”

The battlefield will probably become history. This shocking thought appeared in many minds. They couldn’t calm themselves!

Chapter 468: Investigation

---

In the martial arts battlefield, everything was collapsing. The ground vibrated, many cracks appearing. In the sky, meteorite-like objects fell, and even the sky turned into a symbol.

It was an illusory world in the first place.

Everyone ran towards the exit, forming a giant steam. In the crowd, a Black Wind Condor flapped its wings and followed the flow. Ye Futian and his friends were on its back. At the moment, Ye Futian was extremely weak, which was the aftereffect of burning Emperor Will. Last time in the Evil Dragon Zone, he did not release all his powers, and, in addition, he ate the Dragon Grass which helped with his recovery afterward. On the other hand, he used all the powers in his body this time, and even his face was somewhat pale. However, the journey this time was very rewarding for them.

Loulan Xue stared at Ye Futian with her silver eyes. She knew that the collapse of the martial arts battlefield was clearly caused by Ye Futian. What did he do in the ninth level?

As they neared the exit, Ye Futian met a group of familiar faces, namely Jiang Nan and Wang Yuqing. However, Jiang Nan only glanced coldly at Ye Futian. None of the parties spoke.

Jin Yunxiao, Zhen Rong, and the rest also flew towards their direction. When they were chased out of the eighth level, the alliance had already disintegrated. Therefore, they all started training in the seventh level. At the moment, they also could not keep calm. They guessed that the person who caused the collapse of the battlefield was very likely the young man in the silver cloak who had chased them out of the eighth level. He was way too strong and could defeat everyone by himself.

When Long Mu and Chen Wang returned, they would know the answer.

“Mr. Ye,” someone suddenly shouted among the chaotic crowd. Gu Yunxi saw Ye Futian and his friends flying towards her direction and stared at Ye Futian with some guilt. Just now, the group who had allied with her chased him out of the eighth level. Ye Futian must be very disappointed.

“Mr. Ye, what’s wrong?” Gu Yunxi realized that Ye Futian was in a bad state, as if he was very weak.

“After I left just now, I tried to obtain more sage-level martial arts fate in the seventh level. I used all my strength and was injured, but it’s no big deal,” Ye Futian replied, smiling.

“That’s great,” Gu Yunxi nodded gently. “Please do not mind the incident that happened earlier. Soon after you left, we were also chased out of the eighth level.”

Ye Futian obviously knew that. He blinked his eyes, thinking that Gu Yunxi was indeed kind to use such a way to console him. She was worried that his self-esteem would be hurt as it was very embarrassing to be chased out. Therefore, she said that they were also chased out afterward. Of course, Ye Futian could not say that he knew that already. After all, he was the one who did it.

“What? Who’s strong enough to do that?” Ye Futian pretended to know nothing and felt somewhat sorry for her. He had to keep this a secret.

“I’ve no idea. It’s an extremely powerful cultivator in the silver cloak. The collapse of the battlefield is probably also related to him.” Some surprise appeared in Gu Yunxi’s eyes. Thinking about the action of that person in the eighth level, she still could not remain calm. The person was too mighty. Jin Yunlang had a sage ritual implement but it was taken away directly by the person. In the end, the ritual implement was thrown away.

“Such a person must be unparalleled,” Ye Futian complimented. Beside him, Yu Sheng glanced at him. Is he praising himself?

“Yup,” Gu Yunxi nodded gently. “Nobody in Divine Sky City in this generation can be compared to him.”

“It’s so unfortunate that I didn’t manage to see him!” Ye Futian sighed. Loulan Xue blinked her eyes.

As they spoke, they finally reached the exit. Then, they followed the rest and left the martial arts battlefield. Right after they left the battlefield, Ye Futian saw Jin Yunlang, Bai Qiong, and some others floating in the air and guarding the exit. They stared coldly at the crowd walking out of the martial arts battlefield.

Ye Futian immediately knew what they were looking for. They did not know that he had disguised himself. At the moment, they were outside the exit to wait for the person in the silver cloak.

Clearly, they also noticed Ye Futian and his friends. However, they only glanced at them briefly before turning their attention away. They obviously would not think that any of Ye Futian and his friends could possibly be that all-powerful young man.

“Brother Futian.” Noticing that Ye Futian had come out, Long Ling’er ran over and asked, “Brother Futian, what happened to you?”

“Nothing, just some minor injuries.” Ye Futian smiled gently.

“Brother Futian, who hurt you?” Long Ling’er asked angrily.

“The spirits in the martial arts battlefield. Do you want to revenge me?” Seeing Long Ling’er cute behavior, Ye Futian rubbed her head.

The little girl smiled timidly.

At the moment, the huge crowd outside the martial arts battlefield was having a heated discussion. Just now, they had received an astonishing message. This time, a few people actually managed to enter the ninth level of the martial arts battlefield, achieving what Long Yitian had once done.

Many people also reached the eighth level.

“Look. It’s Chen Wang and Long Mu!” someone suddenly exclaimed. Countless people looked at the two figures at the exit. Hearing Long Mu’s name, Long Ling’er also looked in that direction.

At the moment, Chen Wang and Long Mu’s breaths were unstable as they were injured. Although it was only one strike, their injuries were still quite major.

Chen Wang ignored the stares of everyone. Flashing, he approached an elder and urged, “Master, give orders to seal this place. Don’t let any of the Top Three School disciples leave!”

“Of course,” that person nodded. Then, he went to inform the people from the other two schools. Just now, they were already guessing the person who caused the battlefield to collapse. Chen Wang and Long Mu went to the ninth level and certainly knew more things. This issue was extremely important and they had to settle it right here.

Some people from the Top Three Schools immediately surrounded the space around the exit. They had to find out what happened behind the collapse of the martial arts battlefield.

“Blazing Sun School disciples, listen! After you exit, do not leave!”

“Bright Moon School disciples…”

“Starry School disciples…”

The elders from the Top Three Schools gave their orders one after another. All the people who had exited gathered at the space in front.

Chen Wang, Long Mu, and the rest were surrounded by the elders from the Top Three Schools and questioned. Soon, the elders roughly knew what had happened.

They also stared at the exit with the group. Even the elders of the Top Three Schools could not recognize every single person of their school. Nobody seemed to recall seeing any person in a silver cloak earlier. If they did not miss out anyone, such a person should not have existed at all.

Time passed by slowly. The martial arts battlefield was still vibrating and more and more people walked out, until there was no more. The person whom they were looking for was still not present.

“He’s not here,” Jin Yunxiao said coldly. In the eighth level of the martial arts battlefield, he was humiliated badly. Moreover, he could not tell anyone else about it. Such an embarrassing experience could only be kept to himself. He was even worried that someone who saw it would tell the rest.

“He disguised himself,” Chen Wang said.

Long Mu had a sharp expression on his face. They all knew that although the person was not out yet, it was impossible for him to be still hiding inside. Even if he was, how long could he hide for?

It was most probable that the person was already outside, but not having the same appearance as the one they saw in the battlefield.

That person had been hiding among the Top Three Schools disciples all the time. After he went inside the battlefield, he started attacking and snatching the martial arts fate of everyone. He even caused the battlefield to collapse.

Everything was taken by a single person.

Their faces all darkened. There were so many people who had entered the martial arts battlefield. If the culprit really disguised himself and was hiding among the crowd, how should they even start investigating? They could not check everybody one by one and did not know where to start.

“Who saw a person in a silver cloak inside?” an elder of the Blazing Sun School suddenly asked.

Many people looked at each other and shook their heads one after another.

“Silver cloak?” someone suddenly asked. Immediately, countless people turned their heads and stared at the speaker. It was Jiang Nan.

“Jiang Nan, did you see him inside?” Jin Yunxiao asked.

“No, but I saw such a person in the past. Furthermore, it’s not just me,” Jiang Nan replied. “Last time, when the Dragon Grass in the Evil Dragon Zone was about to mature, some people went there to take the grass. That time, a mysterious person in silver cloak appeared and took the treasure away.”

“That’s right. I was there at that time too.”

“I saw him as well,” many people who had been to the Evil Dragon Zone that time said. Wang Yuqing’s heart raced as she thought about that unparalleled figure. Was he the one who caused the battlefield to collapse?

“So it’s not the first time,” Jin Yunxiao said coldly.

Even back then, that person had already been staring at the Top Three Schools. Then, he must have entered the Top Three Schools in the assessment and kept a low-profile.

“Who has been there at that time? All step out,” an elder from the Top Three Schools said. This time, the Arcana Plane disciples of the three schools were almost all here. Therefore, those who had gone to the Evil Dragon Zone that time must also be in the crowd.

Very soon, many people stepped forward one after another. However, someone said, “These people should all be present at that time. The mysterious person charged in from the outside.”

“There are a few more people who were there,” Jiang Nan suddenly said, looking at Ye Futian and his friends.

Following Jiang Nan’s look, the people from the Top Three Schools also stared at Ye Futian and his friends. Ye Futian explained, “I was indeed outside at that time, but I did not participate at all.”

Jin Yunxiao seemed to be surprised, after which he asked, “Then is it possible that they disguised themselves?”

After he finished speaking, Long Mu, Gu Yunxi, and the rest all looked at them one after another.

It seemed that this possibility could not be eliminated. However, was it really Ye Futian and his team? Who among them was so strong? In addition, if it was really someone from them, why did they not defeat the cultivators near the bridge before entering?

“Do you think it’s us?” Ye Futian looked at Jin Yunxiao and glanced coldly at Jiang Nan. Jiang Nan was merely trying to get him involved.

“Seniors, I was outside the cave that time and did nothing. Moreover, I also saw the mysterious person escape from the cave myself. People who were present at that time can prove this for me,” Ye Futian said, looking at the people around him.

“Senior.” Suddenly, a charming figure walked out, who turned out to be Li Man. She looked at the crowd and continued, “Indeed, when the mysterious person escaped at that time, they were standing at the side and watching.”

“Yes, I can prove that as well,” Wang Yuqing also said, causing Ye Futian to glanced at her in surprise. He did not expect her to stand out and speak for him.

Ye Futian was not worried that he would be exposed precisely because of this. Although he had shown up twice, the last time when the mirror spell created the illusion that he and the demonic bird were escaping, he was standing at the side and watching the scene himself. Many disciples and elders of the Top Three Schools saw it. Hence, they would not suspect him to be the mysterious person in the silver cloak.

Realizing that Wang Yuqing actually stepped out for Ye Futian, Jiang Nan’s face turned gloomy. Even though he also saw Ye Futian beside him at that time, he still deliberately wanted to get him involved.

“Must the thing that you saw be real? According to what I know, there are many spells that can create illusions,” Jiang Nan said coldly. Right then, many people seemed to be stunned.

Chapter 469: Divine Light

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ye Futian was also momentarily puzzled, and he looked at Jiang Nan. Feeling the stares of many, a strange expression appeared on Jiang Nan’s face. He did not really mean what he just said. Unhappy that Wang Yuqing spoke for Ye Futian, he only wanted to find an excuse to prove that his words were not unreasonable and that Ye Futian could not prove his innocence in that way. However, after saying those unintentional words, he suddenly had a strange feeling and stared at Ye Futian.

What if it was real?

Impossible! Jiang Nan was shocked by his own thought. How can such a powerful person be Ye Futian?

When one disliked another person, one could truly hope that the person would not be too strong. Ye Futian was the owner of Celestial Pavilion and had displayed an astonishing talent on the assessment day which had already caused Jiang Nan to be extremely unhappy. If he was really the person who broke through all obstacles and caused the martial arts battlefield to collapse, Jiang Nan would simply not be able to accept that fact that he was so mighty. That would mean that Ye Futian was even more outstanding than Long Yitian. After all, during that time, even Long Yitian did not manage to do what the mysterious person did, namely causing the battlefield to be destroyed.

Realizing that many people were looking at him, Ye Futian tried his best to remain calm and frowned gently. He looked at Jiang Nan and said, “Jiang Nan, you have humiliated me multiple times and I never argued anything with you. Now, you even try to maliciously find various excuses to get me involved in this. What a crafty person you are!” Ye Futian also knew that Jiang Nan was only finding a random excuse. Unfortunately, what he said was the key behind everything.

“I’m only telling the truth. The seniors will judge this themselves,” Jiang Nan forced himself to say. Obviously, he would not admit that he was accusing Ye Futian.

“Tell me about the situation in the Evil Dragon Zone in detail,” an elder from Starry School said. Although Ye Futian might be suspicious, nobody would think that he was certainly the culprit just because of Jiang Nan’s words.

A disciple walked out and explained roughly what had happened in the Evil Dragon Zone. A strange expression appeared on the face of an elder from Starry School and he said, “So the mysterious person that time was skilled in music and indeed a powerful Musical Sorcerer. Moreover, he was probably able to control demons.”

“Yes. The giant bird he was riding on and the demons charging with him were probably all affected by his music,” the disciple confirmed.

“Alright,” the elder from Starry School nodded. Then, he looked at Ye Futian. “On the assessment day, your music also seems to be quite strong.”

Immediately, many people stared at Ye Futian. Chen Wang, Jin Yunlang, Jin Yunxiao, Long Mu, Gu Yunxi, and many others all seemed to be surprised.

“They also managed to enter the eighth level of the martial arts battlefield but did not defeat the defenders on the bridge there. After we arrived, we chased them out of the eighth level. The cultivator in silver cloak appeared after that,” Jin Yunlang said.

“So they are indeed somewhat suspicious.” The cultivators from the Top Three Schools looked at Ye Futian and his friends. Someone said, “What did you do in the ninth level?”

Realizing that the person who just spoke was staring at him with a fierce look, Ye Futian knew that they were testing him. Hence, he gave a bitter smile and said, “Senior, do you really think that we have the ability to do so? In this case, why don’t we join the Top Three Schools first and then enter the battlefield? Why would we do this?”

Everyone frowned. Ye Futian’s words also seemed to be reasonable.

“In addition, there are so many musical spells. Why you are suspecting me just because of this similarity? As for the camouflage, Jiang Nan was only being ridiculous and trying hard to get us involved. That time, there were so many people present,” Ye Futian continued. “Apart from all these, I was only in the Lower Arcana Plane in Yunyue City. How did I manage to snatch the Dragon Grass from the Top Three School disciples? I wouldn’t be able to hide my level. What treasure or equipment could allow me, a Lower Arcana Plane cultivator, to cross so many levels and defeat everyone else?”

Hearing Ye Futian’s words, many people started thinking again. In the martial arts battlefield, it was still possible for Ye Futian to become much stronger by relying on martial arts fate. However, in the Evil Dragon Zone, how could Ye Futian, a Lower Arcana Plane cultivator, defeat so many disciples?

The logic behind this was indeed flawed.

If Ye Futian was really the person who did this, many things could not be explained. Using a spell to create illusions that he was escaping also did not seem to be very sensible.

At the moment, it could already be confirmed that the mysterious person disguised himself. The appearance of the young man in the silver cloak was definitely fake. There were two possibilities, the first being that after disguising himself and taking the Dragon Grass, the mysterious person entered the Top Three Schools this year with his real identity. Then, he entered the martial arts battlefield and snatched the martial arts fate of everyone else. If this was the case, the person must really know the information of the Top Three Schools very well, as he first went for the Dragon Grass and then the martial arts battlefield. It was possible that he was a junior of some secret clan who came out to train himself.

The second possibility was, just like what they had guessed earlier, that the person was someone among Ye Futian and his friends.

“If they really have the silver cloak, they must be hiding it on themselves. We’ll know the answer by looking in their storage rings,” Jin Yunlang said emotionlessly. Although he also felt that it was probably not Ye Futian, he would not ignore the possibility since Ye Futian was somewhat suspicious. Among the people who entered the martial arts battlefield, only they were not from the Top Three Schools. Therefore, it would be easy to check on them first.

Frowning, Ye Futian looked at Jin Yunlang and said, “I think that would be too much.” Storage ring was a private item of a person and may contain some secrets. Clearly, nobody would easily give their storage ring to another person to be checked.

“Since you claim that it’s not you, let’s just take a look. Do you think that we’ll even want anything from your ring?” an elder said.

Ye Futian’s face darkened. Who could say that their storage ring did not have any secrets? However, noticing the looks of everyone, Ye Futian knew that he would not be able to get away without giving his storage ring.

“All of you are seniors. Since you want to check, how do I dare not to give it? However, I can’t fully trust every one of you. How about I let Madame Long check it instead?” Ye Futian said, looking at Madame Long.

“What do you mean? You really think that we’ll want anything from your ring?” the elder who spoke just now said coldly.

“It’s indeed inappropriate for you to check it. If he really has nothing, you’ll actually be bullying him. If you believe me, let me take a look,” Madame Long said.

“Of course we believe you. That sounds fine,” someone said. Ye Futian took off the storage ring from his finger and said, “Storage rings are precious and I only managed to pick this one up in the Evil Dragon Zone. There is only one of these between all of us. Madame, please.” Then, he threw the ring at Madame Long.

Madame Long’s Spiritual Energy entered the ring, after which she said, “The thing you’re looking for is not inside.”

“It’s not that I do not trust you, madame. However, the little princess of the Dragon Clan is very close to him, right?” a cultivator from Jin Clan suddenly said. Madame Long frowned and some coldness flashed across her eyes.

“Madame Long, in this case, please give it to another person whom you trust to take a look,” Ye Futian added. Madame Long nodded gently at Ye Futian, after which she gave the ring to an elder from Starry School. The elder checked the contents of the ring. Then, he shook his head and returned the ring to Ye Futian.

“In this case, can we leave?” Ye Futian said emotionlessly.

“Just leave,” Madame Long said. Ye Futian looked at everyone and then said to Long Ling’er, “I’m going back first.”

“Sure,” Long Ling’er nodded gently. Then, the Black Wind Condor flashed and brought Ye Futian and his friends away.

Many people stayed at the same place, ready to continue their investigation.

Ye Futian and his friends returned to Celestial Pavilion when he heaved a long sigh. So close! The fact that he had used a mirror spell to create illusions in the Evil Dragon Zone was also almost exposed. Luckily, he had been cautious and worried that he would be investigated after leaving the battlefield. Therefore, he left the silver cloak on the battlefield. Apart from that, he did not take any of the sage ritual implements inside. He also asked Yu Sheng and the rest to leave them in the battlefield.

He could feel his heart bleeding. Nevertheless, he did all those to make sure that nothing would be exposed.

Night soon arrived. Ye Futian sat cross-legged in the courtyard in Celestial Pavilion. Suddenly, a few beams of light appeared on his body. All of them looked particularly dazzling.

Very soon, three extremely bright beams of light shot out from his body. In the next instant, the three beams of light actually turned into an unmatched radiance and lit the entire area like divine light. A sun, a moon, and countless stars appeared. Then, within the sun, moon, and stars, three illusory figures appeared. One of them was sitting inside the sun, one on the crescent moon, and the last controlling the movements of the stars.

Without Ye Futian realizing it, Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and Loulan Xue were already beside him, attracted by the mysterious radiance. At the moment, the scene in the sky was extremely beautiful. The three illusory figures were sitting in the air like saints.

Just then, Ye Futian controlled the light with his mind. Immediately, the fascinating scene in the sky turned into three beams of light and flew back into his body, vanishing gradually.

Puff. Ye Futian felt somewhat weak. He was not in the right state to cultivate yet and had to rest for a few days.

“What’s that?” Loulan Xue asked.

Ye Futian raised his head to look at her. Then, he said, “In the pavilion in the martial arts battlefield, there were three beams of divine light. It was where a saint died.”

“Not three saints?” Loulan Xue’s heart raced.

“Nope, only one.” Ye Futian shook his head. “This saint was the founder of the Top Three Schools. In the past, they were not yet divided into the three schools, and there was only one divine school. Later, it was split into three and slowly became the Top Three Schools today.”

“The saint was waiting for the juniors of the Top Three Schools in the martial arts battlefield. You stepped inside and obtained the three beams of divine light, after which the whole place collapsed. Did the saint not mind this?” Loulan Xue took in a deep breath. Ye Futian actually obtained the inheritance from a saint.

“Yes, you could say that,” Ye Futian nodded. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “I did not want to enter the Top Three Schools, but in the end, I obtained the inheritance from the founder of the Top Three Schools. Err…” After that, he shook his head, still feeling somewhat strange.

Chapter 470: Confession

The news that the martial arts battlefield had collapsed spread throughout Divine Sky City like a virus. Long Mu and Chen Wang had managed to enter the ninth level, astonishing countless many. They displayed the glory that Long Yitian had in the past. They did not enter that level with their own powers, but the people in the world would only look at the outcome.

Of course, the more shocking news was about the mysterious person who had caused the battlefield to collapse. Countless people started guessing who exactly he was. The Top Three Schools checked all their disciples who left the battlefield but still to no avail.

It was as if this person was non-existent at all. However, the issue would clearly not end so easily. The place of martial arts fate was destroyed but the person who had obtained the strongest fate was not found. The Top Three Schools would certainly not stop their investigation. Nevertheless, Ye Futian seemed to be unconcerned about all these. After recovering gradually, he started to cultivate, secluding himself from the outside world.

In the martial arts battlefield, he had obtained eighteen types of martial arts fate just in the ninth level. After he left the battlefield, the martial arts fate would no longer increase his combat power, but they all turned into fate and willpower which fused into his body. This was the great benefit the Top Three School disciples had been talking about.

These 18 martial arts fates could bring a lot of benefits. Ye Futian needed to learn their real powers and merge them with his own abilities. Of course, the greatest reward of this trip was not the 18 martial arts fates, but the three beams of divine light.

The three beams of divine light contained the willpower of the saint. The sun, moon, and stars could change in thousands of ways, giving him many new skills and allowing him to learn a lot. The saint here was the founder of the Top Three Schools. All the most powerful abilities of the Top Three Schools were developed from the Saint’s Will.

At the moment, each of the Top Three Schools only had one of the abilities available. On the other hand, Ye Futian had received the complete Saint’s Will.

It was not just Ye Futian himself. He also cultivated together with Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and Loulan Xue. As he released the divine light, they could feel the powers contained within it as well. Even if they could learn just a tiny bit of the Saint’s Will, they would still grow stronger.

That time on Turtle Mountain in the Eastern Barren Territory, the Turtle Hermit had allowed them to watch the rules of the world, which was the ability of sages. After they left the mountain, they also became stronger. However, Ye Futian and his friends could feel that the Saint’s Will was really too mysterious and unfathomable. At the moment, they could only see the surface of it. They learned and improved gradually day by day.

At the moment, two people were fighting on a battle platform in the backyard of Celestial Pavilion.

With a dark-gold battle ax in his hand, the violent Yu Sheng fell down from the sky like the god of war. He struck out the ax, bringing along a terrifying storm. In the sky, a straight line appeared and even space seemed to be cut into two.

Below him, Ye Futian raised his hand. Many violet-gold bolts of lightning around him converged wildly from all directions. They fused into one and contracted rapidly. Eventually, an astonishing lightning shield appeared before Ye Futian. The shield was even glittering in a golden radiance.

The battle ax struck down and was blocked by the lightning shield. The terrifying lightning destroyed everything around it, trying to crush the ax.

Yu Sheng gave a cold roar. The battle ax traced out an arc in the air as his body made a rotation. Then, he struck out the ax for the second time, bringing along the frightening powers of the earth. With the wind, he attacked again.

“Punishment of the Thunder God!” Ye Futian roared coldly. The terrifying lightning shield suddenly turned into countless bolts of violet-gold lightning which swept towards Yu Sheng like a Thunder Raid.

As Yu Sheng’s ax danced in the air, however, even the lightning seemed to be cut apart. In the sky, earth-elemental Spiritual Qi raged and many meteorites gathered. In the Evil Dragon Zone, Ye Futian had seen a top noble fight with his third brother with this ability. He, therefore, learned it from the Saint’s Will.

“Star Burial!” Ye Futian waved his hand. Immediately, countless meteorites converged towards Yu Sheng, trying to bury him completely.

Buzz! Yu Sheng’s devil-like wings opened. Then, he struck out his ax continuously, creating many shocking beams of light in the sky. As the Star Burial spell converged towards him, many cracks appeared on the rocks. The meteorites cracked directly before they could even bury their target. Yu Sheng was still floating in the sky.

“Stop, stop. No more!” Ye Futian said, depressed. “This is so sad.” If he cast this spell on someone else at the same level as him, it would definitely destroy his opponent at once. However, it was pretty useless against Yu Sheng. The two were having a friendly fight to train their combat powers. Ye Futian knew that he would never be able to defeat Yu Sheng without trying his best.

“Okay.” Yu Sheng landed on the ground. The wild aura around him vanished, and so did his battle ax.

Loulan Xue had been watching the battle at the side. Two freaks… she thought. After the battles in the martial arts battlefield and learning from the Saint’s Will over this period, their levels had increased again. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng had both already entered the fifth level of the Arcana Plane. However, even the battle scene of Upper Arcana Plane cultivators would not be as terrifying as theirs.

Loulan Xue could even feel the destructive powers at the side. If anyone of them was changed to another person, the new person would lose terribly.

“Shen Yu came just now. She said that Ling’er is here to visit you,” Loulan Xue said. Whenever Ye Futian and his friends cultivated here, nobody else would be allowed to enter, not even Shen Yu. She could at most ask Loulan Xue to pass the message.

“Alright,” Ye Futian nodded. Then, he left the place and went to the courtyard, when he saw Long Ling’er smile and shout, “Brother Futian, what are you secretly doing there? So mysterious.”

“Why do I have to be secretive?” Ye Futian widened his eyes at Long Ling’er. She was young but full of mischief.

“Then why didn’t they allow me to go in and find you myself?” Long Ling’er giggled. Then, she said to the people behind her, “You can go out now. I have something to speak to brother Futian.”

“Yes, my lady,” Yang Xing and the rest nodded, after which they left the place.

“Go out as well,” Long Ling’er said to Shen Yu again.

Shen Yu replied and then left as well. Although Ye Futian was the owner of Celestial Pavilion, she clearly also had to listen to the orders of Long Ling’er.

“You are the person being secretive,” Ye Futian said, looking at Long Ling’er. “What’s up?”

Long Ling’er glanced at Loulan Xue. Ye Futian knew her meaning and said, “She’s with me.”

“Sure,” Long Ling’er nodded. “My mother asked me to come this time. She asked me to tell you that someone is investigating you.”

Ye Futian squinted slightly, having a bad feeling. It seemed like he was not completely safe yet. He had still left some traces after appearing twice. Even though he destroyed all the evidence, there were still people who suspected him. If they really managed to find out his true identity, he would not be able to escape from all these.

The Eastern Barren Territory was very far away from the Barren State and the people here did not really pay attention to the Eastern Barren Territory. However, if the people doing the investigating were from top clans, it would still be risky.

Of course, he knew Madame Long’s intention in reminding him. After coming out from the martial arts battlefield, he gave the storage ring to Madame Long not only because of trust. In addition, he might be able to hide the truth from other people, but definitely not Madame Long. She knew who he was and where he was from. Therefore, he did so to display his trust Madame Long.

Madame Long asked Ling’er to tell Ye Futian that there were people investigating him to remind him to be prepared.

“Brother Futian, my mother said that only I can know about this and I must not tell anyone else. Why are they investigating you?” Long Ling’er stared at Ye Futian with a naive look. She was smart and roughly knew that something might have happened with Ye Futian.

“You’re still young. Don’t think so much,” Ye Futian said.

“Who’s young? I’m almost fifteen!” Long Ling’er argued, pouting.

Ye Futian glanced at her with contempt, but in his mind, he was thinking how he should handle this. Should he just leave? If there were people investigating him, would they also ask someone to spy on his movement?

“Where’s the madame now?” Ye Futian asked Long Ling’er.

“West Court,” Long Ling’er replied.

“I’ll go and pay her a visit,” Ye Futian added.

“Great! You can accompany me then.” Long Ling’er giggled.

“You’re thinking too much,” Ye Futian remarked, smiling. “Loulan, I’m going out.” Then, he left Celestial Pavilion with Long Ling’er.

Ye Futian met Madame Long in an elegant courtyard in West Court. Bowing gently, he said, “Greetings, Madame Long.”

“You don’t have to be so polite.” Madame Long smiled and raised her head.

“Bring Ling’er outside to take a stroll,” Madame Long said to the maidservants behind her. They nodded one after another, but Long Ling’er said, “I want to be here too.”

“Don’t be mischievous.” Madame Long glanced at Long Ling’er. Long Ling’er twitched her lips in dissatisfaction and said, “Mom, then be quick.” After that, she left the place unwillingly.

Only Madame Long and Ye Futian were left in the courtyard. Ye Futian folded his hands and said, “Madame, please advise.”

“I don’t even know what happened. How do I advise?” Madame Long looked at Ye Futian and smiled.

Ye Futian smiled bitterly and shook his head. “You must have guessed it already. I don’t have to say it.”

“So it is you.” Madame Long gazed at Ye Futian. That year, her brother Long Yitian only entered the ninth level but did not manage to go further. Ye Futian actually did it.

“Yes,” Ye Futian nodded. Madame Long’s heart trembled. Although she had already guessed it earlier, she was still somewhat shocked by Ye Futian’s confirmation.

That time, Long Yitian was already unparalleled in the Eastern Region of the Barren State. Now, Ye Futian did what her brother did not. Did that mean that Ye Futian was talented enough to stand at the peak of this era? Furthermore, Madame Long managed to know Ye Futian, and his relationship with her daughter was very good.

“So Long Mu was hit by you there,” Madame Long said, looking at Ye Futian.

Ye Futian felt somewhat embarrassed. In any case, Long Mu was still the next leader of the Dragon Clan.

“I believe you have heard about his father’s story from Ling’er. That time when my brother was alive, he protected the whole family and his relationship with Ling’er’s father was also extremely good. He even viewed Ling’er as his own daughter and treated her better than Mu’er. After he passed away, we have been treating Long Mu in the same way as we did to Ling’er, causing him to develop some bad characters. Ling’er’s father and I are somewhat responsible for this,” Madame Long said slowly. “It’s good for Long Mu to learn a lesson now.”

Madame Long stopped after delivering her point and did not say anything else. Ye Futian, however, started to admire her in his heart. Her words conveyed her attitude.

“Madame, I understand,” Ye Futian nodded.
