Chapter 2156: Walked Right Through
Ye Futian and the other martial artists looked ahead. Within the four pillars that surrounded that space, they could roughly make out a magnificent sight. It was like an incomparably luxurious ancient palace, and it looked majestic.
The word “world” sealed a little world within it, and this little world was very likely to have something to do with the previous owner of this place, or it could even have been left behind by the previous owner back then.
Ye Futian wasn’t the only one who thought this way; everyone else thought the same way too. However, the four pillars that had seemingly formed a terrifying seal around the little world had made it impossible for all the cultivators to step in. Otherwise, all of them wouldn’t have been waiting here for so long and would have gone in a long time ago.
Woong! A Renhuang who came later tried, and an illusionary shadow created by divine consciousness flew straight towards the pillars of light in front. But once it came close to the pillars of light, it began to bend, and after it entered the area surrounded by the pillars, the shadow created by divine consciousness was bent so badly that it shattered. The shadow ceased to exist, which made that Renhuang let out a muffled cry, and he looked a little embarrassed.
“The Great Path here is not compatible with ours. If we try to enter by force, we will be destroyed, and our spiritual souls will also fall apart and turn to dust. We can’t go at all,” that Renhuang said in a slightly low voice.
For many years, nobody had discovered anything on this continent, but their trip this time gave them a pleasant surprise. They had found this hidden little world, which could be hiding a huge secret. It might have even been left behind by the deities who once occupied this place. But now, they were all blocked from entering it, and none of them liked this feeling of being stuck outside very much.
Ye Futian’s gaze became extremely frightening and deepened greatly as he looked fixedly in front. He noticed that the space surrounded by the pillars was completely different from the world outside the pillars. It was as if this space was a void. If it didn’t have a barrier around it that forbade anyone from entering it, most people probably couldn’t even see that this space existed.
This made his heart suddenly start palpitating because he had discovered an extraordinary phenomenon. The way this space existed was very similar to a place he had been to before.
Four Corner Village!
Back then, the space occupied by Four Corner Village was also impossible for ordinary people to see since it was an illusionary space. Only certain people on the Day of Sacrificial Rites were able to see it and enter it. These people were all people with great fates, and to Ye Futian, this so-called “fate” was really an ability to perceive. It was one’s ability to perceive the path that was incompatible with this world.
Such a discovery made Ye Futian recall many things. It seemed as though the legendary people of the past lived in a different world from the world he lived in today. That year, the Heavenly Path collapsed, and the world went through a major change, and that’s how there was now a difference between this world and the Original Realm.
Was there a link between the relics that the ones before him had left behind and the Original Realm?
But of course, the real reason why Ye Futian’s heart was palpitating was not any of these. It was his Spirit.
This Spirit was a World Tree, so it was able to develop a connection with divine items from the past, and it could even help him absorb from the land of demons and swallow the hearts of demons. This enabled him to overlap the two spaces of the Four Corner Village, which made it truly frightening.
But what did all of this really mean?
What exactly was a World Tree? Was it really just a Spirit that had been passed on?
After cultivating to his current level, the things that Ye Futian understood could no longer be compared to what he understood in the past. Cultivators who had reached the Renhuang level could already remodel and change their own Spirits. As their cultivation level increased, they could make their own Divine Wheel of the Great Path go through a complete transformation, which, in turn, influenced and changed their Spirit. As it continued to evolve and be passed on, a real divine item could change one’s fate against heaven’s will, and so, it was only natural that the Spirit could also be changed.
He couldn’t help but wonder if this World Tree Spirit was as simple as what he had inherited.
It seemed like yet another opportunity to confirm his own Spirit.
“This space here is a space of the Great Path that a legendary character of the past has left behind, and it is incompatible with the Great Path of Space we have right now. This little world could be said to be a different world.” Just then, someone spoke up as if he had also sensed something special about this space.
The person who had spoken was Muyun Lan. He was a cultivator who had come from Four Corner Village and seemed to be more sensitive towards the aspect of cultivation. Also, his own cultivation level was very high, so he could sense that this space was different from the ordinary.
“This world here doesn’t want outsiders to enter, so it has become a twisted and destructive space. So if one barges in by force, one would enter into a twisted Great Path of Space?” said Nanhai Qianxue as she looked at Muyun Lan.
“That’s right.” Muyun Lan nodded. “If one can get in by force and can withstand this amount of force, then there’s a chance you can go in. The other possibility is that those gifted in the cultivation of Perfect Grade Great Path of Space might be compatible and enter this space.”
“Perhaps, I could give it a try,” said Muyun Lan. His expression was grim as his eyes were fixed ahead.
Nanhai Qianxue looked at him and said in a low voice, “It’s too risky for you to do that.”
This was merely Muyun Lan’s conjecture, and even though Muyun Lan’s Great Path was perfect and could be compatible with the power from that space’s Great Path, the space before them was left behind by someone great in the past. It would have reached the pinnacle of cultivation. So there was still a difference between the two.
If Muyun Lan barged in like that, it would be very dangerous.
“Before this, I didn’t try because I wanted to see it more clearly. But I think I’m quite sure now, and I’m 80% confident of this. Even if I fail, I don’t think I’d be trapped either, given my level of cultivation,” said Muyun Lan. He was determined to try barging in.
Nanhai Qianxue knew Muyun Lan’s temperament and knew he was an extremely proud man. Since he wanted to try, then she wasn’t going to be able to stop him.
“Be careful,” said Nanhai Qianxue.
“Don’t worry.” Muyun Lan nodded. After that, the Divine Light on his body glowed brilliantly as he unleashed the power of the Great Path of Space to its maximum. His entire body was glowing with the Divine Light, and the golden roc wings behind him spread out as if it was able to break through the void at any time. If there were any sign that he might be trapped, he would give up immediately.
The others all turned towards Muyun Lan. This man was indeed a legendary character of their era, and his boldness and resolution were much higher than a normal person’s. He actually wanted to barge in by force.
They watched as Muyun Lan walked towards the space surrounded by the pillars, flapped his wings, and entered the space. At that moment, they saw countless streams of lights flashing in the space as it enveloped his body. The rest of them watched Muyun Lan with much anxiety. Would he be successful?
The family members of the Nanhai family were the most anxious, especially Nanhai Qianxue.
They saw that Muyun Lan had run into some trouble inside, but he was still making progress. He seemed to have entered that space’s dimension, and all the cultivators watching were surprised that they couldn’t sense him anymore. His speed had slowed down as he moved along cautiously.
Muyun Lan seemed to be walking extremely slowly. Even though there was no sign of any great battle happening, many still felt like their hearts were in their mouth. Just then, they saw Muyun Lan suddenly increase in speed as he rushed in like a bolt of lightning. In the next moment, his body had entered the world surrounded by the pillars. Muyun Lan’s body seemed to become especially small as he stood inside. It was as if the measurement standards of the world inside were different from the world outside.
In that case, even though this space didn’t look very large from the outside, it might actually be huge once one got in.
“He’s gone in.” Many of them felt their hearts tremble. Muyun Lan had been able to go in, but it was hard for the rest of them to do so. It was already rare to find a Perfect Grade Great Path cultivator in the first place, and someone who had perfected the Great Path of Space was even rarer. Even the top factions of power might not find many among themselves.
“Muyun Lan has gone in. I suppose he will become enlightened again,” said one of them.
Just then, they saw another person walk forward, which caused a strange look to appear on many of their faces, especially on the cultivators from the Nanhai family. The person walking towards the front was none other than Ye Futian.
Nanhai Qing had a nasty look in his eyes. Did this fellow want to enter the space too?
Even though his Great Path was perfect, it was still not easy to barge in. But he also hoped that Ye Futian would give it a shot, and the best would be if he died inside as well.
“Ye Futian,” murmured someone softly. Would he be able to go in?
It was probably going to be difficult and rather risky.
But Ye Futian stood before the pillars and released small amounts of aura towards the light in between the pillars. In no time, the power of his Great Path flowed continuously into the space and merged with the Great Path of Space inside.
After that, everyone looked on in shock as Ye Futian walked right in without running into any obstruction. He just walked right through and into the space in the middle of the pillars.
“This…” All the cultivators watching felt their eyes widen, and their mouths fell open. How was this even possible?
How did Ye Futian do this? Even though his Great Path was perfect, his cultivation level was low, and it was way off from Muyun Lan’s level. How did he manage to go in with such ease?
Even Nanhai Qing, who had been hoping to watch Ye Futian die a horrible death moments ago, suddenly kept that thought away as he witnessed with his own eyes how Ye Futian had just walked right across this area and entered the space!
