Chapter 2416: Probing

None of the other cultivators moved. Clearly, none of them wanted to help the others get to the prize inadvertently.

If the entry to the Portal of Light could be obtained so easily, they would have entered it already instead of waiting until now.

Everyone knew about the danger that lay just beyond the Portal of Light in the city of light.

Inside this seemingly transparent Portal of Light, a small world seemed to exist with an entire universe of its own.

Blind Chen was quietly perceiving all of this, and he now commented casually, “You all want to explore the relic of the light, but none of you are willing to sacrifice anything. Do you think that the relic of the Temple of Light will just appear in front of you as you stand here, waiting for you to inherit it?

“Many years ago, I tried to open the relic of the Temple of Light, but it was only possible from the inside. Now, the one who can open the Portal of Light that I’ve been waiting for all this time is here. Next, all of you will need to cooperate so that everyone can enter the Temple of Light together. To pave the way for our young friend to open the Portal of Light means that there will inevitably be some sacrifices. After the relics of the Temple of Light reappear in the world, whatever you can get from it will depend only on yourselves.”

Blind Chen’s voice could be heard throughout the void, and everyone heard it loud and clear. However, no one responded to him as they just looked at Blind Chen without revealing much in their expressions. Of course, many of them were looking at Ye Futian.

The one who could open the Portal of Light?

So, the cultivators from the four major principalities would enter the Portal of Light just to pave the way for him?

Why should they!

Why should they pin their hopes on a youngster?

“Who exactly is this person? It’s hardly convincing just based on an old diviner’s say so,” said the Lan clan’s leader in an indifferent tone. Up until now, none of them had been able to figure out Ye Futian’s true identity. All they knew was that he came with Chen Yi to the city of light. Perhaps it was Blind Chen who asked Chen Yi to search for him.

“You don’t need to know so much about who our young friend is. But, if anyone in this world can unlock the secret of the Portal of Light, then, under the Great Emperor, I am afraid no one else except our friend here can get it done,” Blind Chen continued nonchalantly.

The likes of the Great Emperors were excluded, of course. They were imperial-level existences, which would make it much easier for them to open the relics of other Great Emperors, so they cannot be taken into consideration. Therefore, he said it had to be under the level of the Great Emperor.

But even so, it was still mighty high praise coming from the blind man.

Under the Great Emperor, was Ye Futian the only one who could open the Relic of Light?

“I’m a little curious as to who he is, that the elder holds him in such a high esteem?” someone else asked lightly. The person who spoke was Yu Hou—the cultivator from the Yu family. He possessed powerful cultivation. He was a Renhuang of the Eighth-Realm and the next clan leader of the Yu family. He had already begun to take over its control. He was one who had high hopes for himself and was proud at heart.

He did not address him as the old diviner, just as an elder. It seemed that he neither respected nor believed in Blind Chen.

Under the Great Emperor, only Ye Futian could achieve it?

And all of them had to cooperate with Ye Futian?

“I am curious as well. To ask the cultivators of the four major principalities in the city of light to cooperate with an outsider to open the Portal of Light, simply based on elder’s say-so is not really that meaningful,” said Seven-Night Star Lord of the Seven Stars Mansion. He was another genius whose cultivation level was equivalent to Yu Hou’s. He was the head of seven great Star Lords of the Seven Stars Mansion.

What Blind Chen said just now was for them to enter the Portal of Light and pave the way for Ye Futian!

The four top principalities in the city of light paving the way for Ye Futian!

“Why?” the cultivator from the Lin family, who was in conflict with Blind Chen and the others, asked coldly. Why should they?

How could a cultivator from the outside deserve such special treatment?

“Why?” Blind Chen repeated casually and said, “Although all of you are extraordinary individuals in the city of light, standing at the very top, if I am to be honest, I’m afraid that none of you can outshine our little friend.”

Ye Futian revealed a strange look when he heard Blind Chen’s words. It looked like Blind Chen was deliberately provoking cultivators from various forces. Did he mean to use him to bring these four major forces under control, so would they accept his command in the future?

However, if Blind Chen had asked him to enter the Portal of Light by himself, he would have been rather reluctant to do so. Ultimately, though he had promised Blind Chen, he couldn’t say he had implicit trust in him, and everyone knew that the Portal of Light was extremely dangerous. Ideally, it would be better if someone scouted out the way for him so he could determine the level of danger.

Everyone fell silent after hearing what Blind Chen had to say. All the top characters from their city of light were here, and Blind Chen was talking nonsense again. Were they really no comparison to this white-haired young man?

“Is that so?” Yu Hou said nonchalantly and without much emotion. “I don’t really believe it. How about the elder has him prove himself by entering the Portal of Light, letting us see.”

“Sounds good…” Many cultivators echoed his sentiment, but each of them had their own scheme in mind.

“My young friend, I am afraid we will have to trouble you.” Blind Chen spoke to Ye Futian via voice transmission, and Ye Futian immediately understood what he meant. It was probably just as he had speculated.

“Sure,” Ye Futian replied with a single word. He then took a step forward and said, “You can confirm it yourselves. If the elder were right, you would be the first to enter. If the elder is wrong, then I will enter the Portal of Light first.”

Upon hearing Ye Futian’s words, everyone’s eyes sharpened slightly. Yu Hou and the others looked at Ye Futian keenly until someone said, “How can we confirm it?”

“Don’t feel obligated,” Ye Futian said casually, an invisible current flowing upon him. The aura of the Great Path effused from him, and the aura of Renhuang in the Eighth-Realm also bloomed.

But when they felt his aura, all these cultivators were slightly relieved. After all, it seemed that he was not all that amazing; he was just in the Eighth-Realm.

“In that case, I will do it,” said a voice. In the void, Yu Hou took a step forward, and countless eyes focused on him immediately. In the next moment, they saw an incredibly fervent sun appear behind Yu Hou. The sun expanded rapidly, turning into a terrible vision that lay across the sky. An incomparable light began to shoot out from the vision.

This divine light was not only the light of the flaming Great Path; it seemed to also contain the way of the light. In a moment, countless rays of light rained down, not just on Ye Futian’s side, but they also snaked towards Blind Chen and the others. It was very obviously deliberate.

But around Blind Chen and the others, an invisible power of light now shrouded them. It was Chen Yi who had made a move as he released the power of the light.

Ye Futian didn’t move. He merely stood there and looked up. The divine light on Yu Hou’s body shone directly on his body, making a sizzling sound. This terrifying force of destruction seemed to want to drill into Ye Futian’s body, but an incomparable divine light circulated upon his body, making it impossible for that destructive light to invade.

“What?” Everyone frowned. How could this be?

Although Yu Hou didn’t make a direct move, the power he released was considerable. It was, however, completely ignored by the others.

“It’s far too weak,” whispered Ye Futian, which made Yu Hou’s heart tremble. Then, he saw Ye Futian raise his head and look at him!
