Chapter 1871 - Manifestation
Chapter 1871: Manifestation
Donghuang the Great established pavilions in the Divine Prefecture to pass on teachings to the people, primarily those with outstanding talent.
Now, in Dongyuan Pavilion, the various cultivators were preventing Ye Futian from advancing. However, Ye Futian forced his way in and killed a Renhuang who was at a higher Plane. If he was not qualified to enter Dongyuan Pavilion, how many people could stand at the top?
Such arrogance.
Nevertheless, Ye Futian seemed to have the qualifications to be arrogant. In Dongyuan Pavilion, there was actually no one on the same Plane who could stop him. Hence, they needed to acknowledge his strength. The people above were not qualified to stop him.
Although that was within reason, the Dongyuan Pavilion was controlled by the forces of Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. Ye Futian had forced his way into Dongyuan Pavilion and even killed a Renhuang.
This matter would most likely not end well.
At the bottom of the stairs, the cultivators who had gathered from all around looked at the white-haired silhouette. This person was so domineering. Could it be that there was a force backing him?
Was a top force of the continent attempting to seize control over the Dongyuan Pavilion and hence sent a warning to the current forces of the Dongyuan Pavilion?
Otherwise, even with Ye Futian’s outstanding talent, he still only had a third tier Divine Wheel. If the forces of Dongyuan Pavilion truly wanted to deal with him, how could he stand against them?
As expected, after Ye Futian killed the Renhuang, even more cultivators immediately appeared in Dongyuan Pavilion.
In the distance, in front of Dongyuan Pavilion that towered into the sky, silhouettes floated in the air. Their cold gazes swept towards Ye Futian.
In the sky above Ye Futian, storms of the Great Path gathered. In a sinister voice, one of the cultivators said, “To kill someone in front of this holy land, do you have any respect?”
Ye Futian glanced over at the other party from a distance. The person was a middle-level Renhuang with a sixth-tier Divine Wheel. Their eyes met. Ye Futian did not shift his gaze. He similarly glanced at the other party with a cold gaze. He replied, “If I did not catch the scimitar just now, it would be a different story, wouldn’t it? For forcing my way into Dongyuan Pavilion, I must be killed, is it?”
As Ye Futian said this, he continued to advance step by step towards Dongyuan Pavilion. He was looking at the statue in Dongyuan Pavilion.
“The Great Emperor wanted to pass on teachings to the world, so he established Dongyuan Pavilion. The person who built the pavilion left behind this statue. The will of that senior must reside within it. If he saw the pavilion that he built be reduced to being used by others for personal gain and be claimed as their own training ground, I wonder how he would feel.”
Ye Futian declared, “All of you are defiling this holy land.”
His voice reverberated throughout the space. It was as though it was a sound of the Great Path. Across a space of hundreds and thousands of miles, countless people stopped in their tracks. They could all hear this sound of the Great Path.
The forces of Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master were defiling the holy land?
Today, Liu Dongge blocked Ye Futian and denied him entry into the Dongyuan Pavilion. He probably never imagined that Ye Futian would be so domineering and that he would actually kill a Renhuang here. Such a commotion would surely be detrimental to the current forces of the Dongyuan Pavilion. Even more people would question them.
Many people were supporting Ye Futian in spirit. These past few years, Dongyuan Pavilion had indeed been completely under the control of the forces of Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. Whoever they allowed could enter the Dongyuan Pavilion; whoever they denied entry would not be able to.
Many people accepted this hidden rule, and hence all of them strived to pass the assessment of Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master to enter the Dongyuan Pavilion. However, that way, many genius figures could only enter the pavilion by joining them. Every time there was a large scale assessment, to enter Dongyuan Pavilion to train, one had first to become one of them.
This situation made many people bear grudges secretly. However, Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master was one of the top figures of this continent. Aside from a few forces at the same level, who could question them?
At that moment, a few silhouettes walked out from the Dongyuan Pavilion. The person in the middle had sharp eyebrows and sparkling eyes. His gaze was like a sharp sword and gave off an extremely powerful sense of authority. When the cultivators saw him appear, they frantically made way for him. They bowed slightly and greeted, “Pavilion Master.”
The silhouette who appeared was actually Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. The few people beside him all had similarly extraordinary temperaments. Although they did not release their auras, a faint pressure could be felt coming from their bodies. Among them was a person who had a faint smile on his face. He looked at Ye Futian from afar and said with a smile, “What this junior has said is not without reason. His ability is also not weak, being able to kill a Renhuang of a higher cultivation Plane. Although he appears somewhat presumptuous, it is also with reason. Does Young Pavilion Master have a grudge with him?”
After he spoke up, many people were somewhat surprised. This person who had emerged from inside the Dongyuan Pavilion was actually speaking up for Ye Futian. This would undoubtedly offend Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master.
Obviously, this person was not concerned about that at all.
Someone recognized who he was and immediately said in a low voice, “He is Emperor Helian, the lord of the royal family of the western territories of the continent.”
“These past few days, there have been rumors that a few top forces had arrived in Dongyuan City. From the looks of it, the rumors were true,” said some people in the crowd. They then looked at the other people. The people who stood next to Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master were the strongest figures of the continent.
Many people looked at Liu Dongge when they heard what Emperor Helian said. Prior to this, Liu Dongge was extremely domineering when he denied Ye Futian entry to the Dongyuan Pavilion. Many people did not understand why he did so. Could it be that he actually bore a grudge against Ye Futian?
“Even though his talent is outstanding, he is so unruly,” a middle-aged figure with extraordinary temperament said. “Even if he achieves anything with his cultivation, he will be a menace. How can we let him train in the Dongyuan Pavilion? I do not believe that Dongge has done anything inappropriate.” This speaker was the Lord of a top clan. He was also the father of the woman beside Liu Dongge.
He was close with Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. These past few years, their relationship had grown even close. They were considered allied forces, so he naturally continued to support Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. As long as he was in his current position, he just needed to ask to send his clan members to train in the Dongyuan Pavilion.
“In terms of rules, for a Renhuang to come over actively to take the assessment, would he not even be qualified to enter?” another person said. “Is this a rule set by Pavilion Master Liu?”
While Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master was listening to these people’s words, his expression was icy. He looked at Ye Futian before him and said, “Step aside, let him take the statue assessment.”
The crowd was stunned. They all revealed bizarre looks. What was the intention of the Pavilion Master?
The people beside Pavilion Master smiled as they looked at him. Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master continued saying, “If this person cannot cause the will of the statue to manifest, kill him then.”
“Understood,” the cultivators of the Dongyuan Pavilion responded. There was faint murderous intent in their gazes.
No one understood the statue more than them. Ordinary cultivators could not even communicate with the will within the stature. Those with exceptional talent could make the will of the statue circulate within it. As long as they could detect the existence of the will and activate it, they would be allowed to train in the Dongyuan Pavilion.
However, wanting to make the will of the statue manifest was extremely difficult. Few people had managed to do so.
Ye Futian was arrogant to the extreme. He had forced his way into the Dongyuan Pavilion and raved about wanting to take the assessment.
Since Ye Futian wanted to do so, Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master would give him a chance. If Ye Futian could not cause the will of the statue to manifest, he would be killed.
Ye Futian glanced over at Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master.
Kill him?
Who in the Dongyuan Pavilion could kill him?
Of course, he did not argue with the other party. Since they allowed him to take the assessment, then he would give it a try.
Ye Futian walked forward and came before the statue. The master of this statue appeared to be around 40 to 50 years old. His pupils sparkled and contained a frightening look in them. The statue was a hundred Zhang tall and stood erect in front of the Dongyuan Pavilion like a guardian deity. One could sense a formless pressure just standing before it.
Ye Futian’s body floated up into the air. He looked towards the statue as it stood there. Although he could feel a formless pressure from it, there was no aura emanating from it. The statue seemed to contain heavenly might within it that it did not let out. Ordinary people could only sense that it was miraculous but would be unable to truly pry further.
Ye Futian’s eyes changed and became exceptionally deep. They even appeared somewhat sinister. It was as though everything in the world appeared clear to him. When he glanced over at the statue, it seemed to come alive, as though the entire statue was formed from countless runes of the Great Path. It was even connected with the towering Dongyuan Pavilion.
Buzz!
The crowd saw the statue suddenly radiate light. Many people narrowed their eyes as the statue lit up.
So fast. He had actually caused the statue to light up in an instant.
“As expected, he is truly exceptional,” the elder who previously spoke up for Ye Futian praised him with a smile. Emperor Helian seemed very interested in Ye Futian. This Renhuang still appeared to be a young man. He might have cultivated for less than a hundred years.
However, his talent and combat ability seemed to be top-notch. Murderous intent brew in Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. If the other party actually managed to activate the will of the statue, what would Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master do?
The statue shone brighter and brighter. Its hundred-Zhang-tall figure sparkled with divine light. The aura of the Great Path flowed over the statue. This caused the look in the eyes of Liu Dongge and the others to shift. Although they could also activate the will of the statue, Ye Futian was doing it much faster than they could.
Buzz!
On the statue, brilliant colorful lights suddenly radiated, blinding all around it. The people below the Pavilion cried out in astonishment. They felt that the light was somewhat blinding. Aura of the Great Path emanated from it. The will of the statue manifested.
The gaze of many people froze. This…
This was too fast. How could Ye Futian possibly do it so fast?
The cultivators of Dongyuan Pavilion were all shocked.
Even Pavilion Master was momentarily stunned.
“Is that all?” Ye Futian said indifferently as he glanced over at Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master. Ye Futian seemed very at ease. He had effortlessly completed what Liu Dongge had spent a long time trying to achieve back then.
“The Dongyuan Pavilion has not lit up. You cannot consider that as the will of the statue manifesting,” Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master said in a cold tone. He remained calm. He clearly did not want to let Ye Futian go.
“Is that so?”
Ye Futian smiled. The instant he finished speaking, rainbow light flowed over the Dongyuan Pavilion. It flowed all the way up until it pierced the clouds. The Dongyuan Pavilion that pierced the sky immediately lit up with dazzling lights, causing even the clouds in the sky above to light up.
Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master’s gaze froze. He was actually speechless. How did Ye Futian manage to pull this off?
The people below the Dongyuan Pavilion were also in awe when they witnessed this scene. Voices sounded one by one. This was practically…
Rumor has it that the rule back when Dongyuan Pavilion was established was that if someone could cause the entire Dongyuan Pavilion to light up, Dongyuan Pavilion would be completely open to him. The person would be able to access all 81 floors of Dongyuan Pavilion. No one could prevent him from doing so.
Dongyuan Pavilion Pavilion Master intended to make things difficult for Ye Futian. Yet, his scheme had been easily circumvented. How was Pavilion Master feeling right now?
“Is that enough?” Ye Futian continued. “If that is not enough, how about this?”
After Ye Futian said these words, resplendent colorful lights shot out from the Dongyuan Pavilion. Endless divine halos of the Great Path burst forth from the statue. An illusory figure appeared. It seemed to be a manifestation of the statue. The will of the statue had descended. It floated in the sky above. Colorful light swept out over 3,000 miles. Within Dongyuan City, countless people raised their heads and looked towards the light of the Great Path!
