Chapter 1949: Breaking Through to the Next Plane

In the year 10050 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, the Penglai Continent had returned to its original calm.

It had been several years since the storm of events back then. Now, the Penglai Continent’s Shangguan clan had risen rapidly. Since the battle back then, the rivals of the Shangguan clan, Jun clan, and Yun clan, had been eliminated. On the other hand, the Shangguan clan became more powerful and had even closer ties with Eastern Deity Island.

Rumor had it that the Shangguan clan regularly paid a visit to Eastern Deity Island, and they had mutual exchanges. Rumor also has it that Eastern Deity Island supplied the Shangguan clan with many elixirs of the Great Path.

After that battle, the Shangguan clan seemed to have won the lottery. Many of their Renhuangs broke through to the next Plane one after another. They had many more eighth-tier cultivators and were constantly growing even stronger. They had no equals in the Penglai Continent.

However, some rumors claimed that the Shangguan clan had already allied with Eastern Deity Island and represented Penglai Continent. No one knew the exact details, and they had no proof. No one knew what was the exact relationship between Eastern Deity Island and the Shangguan clan either. They only knew that Eastern Deity Island kept an extremely low profile. It was as though they had cut off ties with the outside world.

Many people did not understand why Eastern Deity Island was acting this way. They had already proven their might a few years ago. Why did they still need to keep such a low profile and act reserved?

Right now, on the calm and peaceful Eastern Deity Island, the father-daughter combo of the Shangguan clan, Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Qiuye, brought many people to visit. They were waiting quietly in the courtyard of a palace. People were keeping them company as their group quietly waited while sipping tea.

“How long does Little Friend Ye still want to cultivate?” Shangguan Hong asked. There were rumors in the outside world that he had close ties with Eastern Deity Island. In reality, it was not so. Although he had visited Eastern Deity Island regularly, he had come to find Ye Futian every time. With Ye Futian’s acquaintance with Shangguan Qiuye back then and having cooperated before, the Shangguan clan grew closer with Ye Futian. Naturally, it was easier for them to approach each other.

Shangguan Hong was also aware that Ye Futian might have an extraordinary position on Eastern Deity Island.

As long as Shangguan Hong maintained a good relationship with Ye Futian, that would be enough.

Moreover, these past few years, Shangguan Hong discovered that Ye Futian was actually proficient in concocting pills. His ability to refine pills also improved suddenly by leaps and bounds, becoming more powerful each time he visited. Every time Shangguan Hong visited Eastern Deity Island, he would discover Ye Futian’s astonishing improvement in his attainments in refining pills. The last time Shangguan Hong visited, the pills Ye Futian concocted were already very close to perfection. They could even affect upper-level Renhuangs.

Such frightening talent left Shangguan Hong in awe. He had also obtained many pills from Ye Futian to bring back to his clan.

“I am not sure,” answered Beigong Ao, the person in charge of welcoming Shangguan Hong. He shook his head and said, “He has been in seclusion for a period of time and has not emerged since. You might have come at the wrong time. Why don’t you return first and come again some other time?”

When Shangguan Hong heard Beigong Ao say this, he secretly thought to himself. It seemed as though this trip had been for naught. However, he was not here for important matters. He had just come to visit Ye Futian and to strengthen their relationship. Shangguan Hong felt that one day, Ye Futian would certainly become the top figure of the Penglai Continent.

Of course, Shangguan Hong’s prediction was based on the premise that Ye Futian had stayed in the Penglai Continent. This continent was merely one of the many continents of the Divine Prefecture. It might not be able to keep Ye Futian here.

“Alright. I will come to visit him some other time.” Shangguan Hong nodded slightly in agreement with Beigong Ao’s proposal. He said to Shangguan Qiuye, “Let’s head home.”

Shangguan Qiuye cast a glance in the direction of the palace. In the past, sometimes Beigong Ao would go to inform Ye Futian about their arrival. However, he didn’t do so this time. It seemed like Ye Futian was very serious about his seclusion this time. He had most likely ordered Beigong Ao beforehand not to let anything disturb him. Hence, Shangguan Qiuye’s father had decided to stop waiting and leave.

“Be careful on your way back.” Beigong Ao personally showed them the way out. After all, Shangguan Hong’s position, as the leader of the Shangguan clan, was very high. For Shangguan Hong to have come to visit Ye Futian personally, the former must have regarded Ye Futian highly as well. Shangguan Hong would most likely not even notice Beigong Ao if it wasn’t for Ye Futian. From this, one could tell that Ye Futian was really full of potential. Even a powerful ninth-tier Renhuang was willing to come over to meet him.

Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Qiuye were on their way out when suddenly, they seemed to have sensed something. They stopped in their tracks.

Shangguan Hong was the first to react. His gaze instantly shifted and looked in the direction of the palace. Shangguan Qiuye and the rest followed suit.

A brilliant rainbow pierced through the heavens. An overbearing power of the Great Path enveloped the sky. Various types of auras of the Great Path coalesced. This aura of the Great Path appeared to be at the flawless level.

“This is…” Shangguan Hong said with a twinkle in his eyes. It was a flawless level aura of the Great Path. Someone was breaking through to the next Plane on Eastern Deity Island in the palace. Who else could it be?

“Flawless level,” Shangguan Hong mumbled. Before this, Ye Futian’s cultivation was already at the peak of the lower-level Renhuang Plane when he was a third-tier Renhuang. If he broke through to the next Plane now, his cultivation would be at the middle-level Renhuang Plane.

The divide between the lower-level Renhuang Plane and the middle-level Renhuang Plane was a pit. Many people had flawless Divine Wheels of the Great Path when they were at the lower-level Renhuang Plane. However, they were unable to continue maintaining their flawless Divine Wheels at the middle-level Renhuang Plane. Would Ye Futian be able to do so then?

If Ye Futian still had a flawless Divine Wheel of the Great Path, his combat ability would be able to threaten a seventh-tier cultivator. In addition to his various other trump cards, his ability would be terrifying.

Shangguan Qiuye similarly felt her heart tremble. The difference between her Plane and Ye Futian’s was not very large. Hence, the impact was greater on her. The aura of the Great Path generated as Ye Futian was breaking through to the next Plane made her feel ashamed of herself.

Her beautiful eyes stared in that direction. Colorful lights rained down from the sky. The colorful rainbow lights were like heavenly signs. The humming of swords, the sound of guqins, the thundering of divine elephants stampeding, celestial bodies appearing in the sky, and the illusory image of an ancient tree filled the vast space.

These were heavenly signs. Many people gazed in awe. This scene was a wonder to behold. It was beautiful and seemed to make people forget that someone was breaking through to the next Plane.

The resonating sound of the Great Path could be heard. In the distance, people kept heading over in this direction. Many cultivators on Eastern Deity Island were drawn over. They stepped into the air and gathered outside the palace. They stopped and looked toward the direction of the strange scene.

It was a flawless level aura. Many people were astonished. A middle-level Renhuang managed to maintain a flawless Divine Wheel of the Great Path. Such talent was rare.

Bai Mu also appeared. She stood in the air, and her heart was moved. She felt that calling her a goddess seemed like a bit of a misnomer. Compared to Ye Futian, she was far inferior.

“Incredible,” many alchemy masters cried out in astonishment as they walked out.

“This fellow puts us to shame when it comes to concocting pills. Now, even his cultivation is so flawless. How can old fellows like us go on?” someone said.

“Don’t flaunt your seniority. Years ago, that fellow killed seventh-tier cultivators like ants. Now, with his breakthrough, even an eighth-tier like yourself might be no match for him,” someone said beside the person who had spoken. The old fellow was so angry that his nostrils flared, and he glared at the other person. However, he could not say anything. He clearly knew that what the other person had said was true. He had no words to counter him.

After breaking through to the middle-level Renhuang Plane while maintaining a flawless Divine Wheel of the Great Path, how powerful would Ye Futian’s combat ability be now?

Seventh-tier cultivators were no longer worth Ye Futian’s consideration unless they were also monstrous figures who forged flawless Divine Wheels of the Great Path. Otherwise, seventh-tier cultivators without flawless Divine Wheels would only be killed instantly by him.

The brilliant light remained as the Great Path resonated. Strange phenomenon shone, and Ye Futian sat cross-legged among them. He was comprehending the Great Path and absorbing the power of the Great Path. He had entered a state of ecstasy. His soul wandered out from his body and sensed everything around him.

Rumbling sounds could be heard constantly, coming from his body. It was a baptism of the Great Path that continued to temper his Renhuang figure.

At that moment, an overbearing aura descended from the sky. Many people saluted with their fists as they looked over in the direction of the aura. They wanted to call out to the person who had arrived, but the other party extended her hand, signaling them to remain silent. The figure then waved her hand and said, “Don’t let this matter be known. Stand down and let him continue cultivating.”

This voice rang in everyone’s eardrums, causing the crowd to be stunned. However, they still nodded their heads and did as they were told. They left the place one by one. No one dared to disturb Ye Futian’s cultivation.

Eastern Deity Island Island Lord glanced at Ye Futian. Her figure gradually disappeared, but her will still lingered, watching over everything.

The rumbling of the Great Path continued without end, persisting for a few days. The entire Eastern Deity Island was stirred up by this incident, but no one disturbed Ye Futian as he broke through to the next Plane. They merely observed everything that occurred quietly, watching over him. It was as though Ye Futian’s breakthrough was the most anticipated and most important day for Eastern Deity Island.

That day, a majestic aura of the Great Path frenziedly erupted. It surged into Ye Futian’s body. Ye Futian sat there. It was as though he was experiencing a mighty baptism of the Great Path. The rumbling from inside his body made it seem as though the sky was about to explode.

Buzz. An extremely brilliant colorful light radiated from his figure and swept out across the space. It spread out far into the distance. At that moment, cultivators across the entire Eastern Deity Island saw a resplendent light of the Great Path. They knew that Ye Futian had broken through to the next Plane.

When they lifted their heads and looked over in that direction, they saw Ye Futian’s body floating in the sky above. His temperament was even more outstanding. His dazzling, handsome gaze was full of vigor. After breaking through to the next Plane, Ye Futian seemed as divine as a deity!
