The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2176: The Sacred Remains’ Movement

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

In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed since the divine mausoleum was built.

Some of the master cultivators were still inside the divine mausoleum. They had been cultivating there as well and had made considerable progress. By now, they could more or less comprehend the imperial glory of Shenjia the Great Emperor during his glory days.

Of course, Ye Futian undoubtedly remained to be the person who achieved the most thorough comprehension.

He was sitting on the training platform at this moment with terrifying sounds of the Great Path coming out of his body. Nevertheless, he was not looking at the sacred remains, as his eyes were shut tight. He glowed with the dreadful divine light of the Great Path, and his skin was engraved with countless runes and characters. It seemed that his entire body was engulfed in the divine light emitted by the runes and characters.

Over the past few days, the cultivators inside the divine mausoleum had been watching Ye Futian transforming himself little by little. As he achieved more and deeper comprehension through studying the sacred remains, the changes in his body became more apparent as well. Everyone was aware that Ye Futian was on the edge of a major breakthrough.

That being said, other cultivators didn’t know that the scenes in Ye Futian’s Life Palace were even more gruesome. At this point, Ye Futian had entered a mysterious world where his consciousness had materialized. A man of great height and powerful build towered over him. It was Shenjia the Great Emperor who seemed to be raised from the dead, now standing in front of him.

They confronted each other face to face. Ye Futian felt like he was facing not a human cultivator but a God and his Path. He found laws and orders of the Path of Shenjia the Great Emperor. To put it more accurately, he had identified him as Shenjia the Great Emperor himself.

He was Shenjia the Great Emperor, the man who challenged the Heavenly Path and proclaimed that there had been no Path in the world until he came forth.

Bang!

Ye Futian’s body almost turned into a melting pot for the Great Path. Various types of energy of the Great Path emanated from his body as the deafening noise inside him blasted continuously and relentlessly. All the cultivators in the divine mausoleum could feel the fierce power of the Great Path rushing out of Ye Futian.

“This is...” Many people couldn’t help but turn around to look in Ye Futian’s direction, including some in the middle of a cultivation session. They all sensed the formidable force coming out of Ye Futian’s body.

Ye Futian studied the sacred remains in the divine casket and cultivating the Great Path with its help. Was he going to advance to the next level, finally?

This possibility disheartened most of the genius cultivators from top forces. They hadn’t achieved anything while Ye Futian was ready to move up to a higher cultivation level already.

Ye Futian easily put everyone else in the shade when it came to cultivating with the help of the sacred remains in the divine casket.

However, instead of trying for the higher level, Ye Futian was actually caught in a remarkable state of mind at this moment. He had abundant experience with obtaining several distinctly different skills through cultivation and comprehension. The most frequently used cultivation method in the later stage was the Deed of Thorough Comprehension.

The Deed of Thorough Comprehension could be cultivated in both the standard and the reverse order. Back in the days, the Sky River Great Elder cultivated the Deed of Thorough Comprehension in reverse order. Although he achieved a major breakthrough and reached the level of fake emperors, he was also demonized by the process.

To cultivate the Deed of Thorough Comprehension in the standard order meant to absorb the power of everything in the world into one’s body to build up and strengthen oneself. On the contrary, the Sky River Great Elder cultivated the Deed of Thorough Comprehension in reverse order and surrendered his own Path to the world. He offered himself up as a sacrifice and never achieved true spiritual transcendence.

Despite that, either way of cultivating the Deed of Thorough Comprehension was beneath Shenjia the Great Emperor and was never on an equal footing with his own cultivation method.

Shenjia the Great Emperor only cultivated himself. He rose above the Path and established the world by himself. His own body was his Path. Not a single person after him ever had the same level of vision and boldness.

Ye Futian could almost perceive the ego and pride of Shenjia the Great Emperor from his remains. He became aware of his cultivation method and his ambition to reign over the Path.

Perhaps this was where the ultimate cultivation led to?

Did all the Great Emperors pursue the same goal?

Ye Futian had no way of knowing. At least now, he could make out the cultivation path of Shenjia the Great Emperor. Moreover, the feeling became stronger and stronger, and, subconsciously, he followed the same path.

As he continued to cultivate in such a way, Ye Futian entered a marvelous state where he was mesmerized by Shenjia the Great Emperor and his cultivation path. This chapter is updated by (f)ir(e).nᴇt

The forceful Great Path kept tempering his body, and the deafening noise attracted more attention. Everyone was wondering what was coming Ye Futian’s way.

Not only did the spectators not know, but Ye Futian also couldn’t tell. Cultivating through comprehension was a magical experience. Sometimes the cultivator would get lost in a hypnotized state. Right now, Ye Futian was sent into such a trance where he completely relaxed.

His consciousness floated in an illusory world. He saw himself everywhere; it was as though the entire world was filled with his consciousness. The divine light of the Great Path kept radiating from his body. Ye Futian started to let this burst of power run free.

Ye Futian even forgot about time and couldn’t extricate himself from cultivation.

“His body...” The onlookers around noticed the astonishing changes in Ye Futian’s body. They stared at Ye Futian and sensed the extremely powerful energy of the Great Path emerging from him.

Could it be that he really used the sacred remains in the divine casket to comprehend the Great Path and even tempered his own body with it?

Some mighty figures were intently watching Ye Futian’s cultivation process as well.

“Maybe he picked the right way,” a voice rang out. It was the clan leader of the Nanhai family speaking to Muyun Lan, Nanhai Qianxue, and other people behind him.

The clan leader also comprehended a little from studying the sacred remains, but he hadn’t applied it to cultivation yet. He realized that Ye Futian had taken one step further than all the master cultivators, himself included.

He suspected that Ye Futian might have selected the correct cultivation path and was elevating himself with the help of his comprehension.

As time went on, everyone felt that Ye Futian was making progress and growing stronger every second. But no one knew for sure how powerful he became.

Ye Futian’s efforts even made the stone wall behind him vibrate violently; the loud booms echoed through the divine mausoleum.

Surprisingly, he floated forward and descended from the training platform. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Ye Futian, who was approaching the divine casket from above.

Ye Futian’s eyes were still closed shut. Staying afloat right above the divine casket. In between the stone pillars, he came face to face with the sacred remains.

Bang... The crowd was dazzled by the terrifying divine light and heard the deafening noise coming out of Ye Futian’s body. They even sensed that the energy was flowing out of the divine casket as well.

All the mighty figures gaped at the divine casket at this moment. They saw that Shenjia the Great Emperor’s body was moving inside the casket!
