The Legend of Futian

Sword Will flowed over Ye Futian’s body, shining brilliantly. Simultaneously, in front of him, a flash of sword light suddenly shone from the stone platform. It was as though sword light was shining from the stone platform. Sword Will circled the stone platform, seemingly about to burst forth from it.This scene caused the crowd to reveal strange expressions. Many people were joking just now. Yet, in the blink of an eye, the Sword Will seemed about to burst forth from the stone platform. Had the cultivator on the stone platform comprehended the Sword Will, or had Ye Futian done so?

If it was Ye Futian, hadn’t he just done it in an instant?

The cultivator on the stone platform was also stunned. He was originally comprehending and cultivating when suddenly Sword Will flowed out from the stone platform. It became more and more powerful until his body was drowned in it. Yet, it had not appeared because of him. Currents of swordsmanship aura flowed past his figure. The entire stone platform he was sitting on was also shining.

What was going on?

His expression was strange. The currents of swordsmanship aura on the stone platform flowed towards Ye Futian. Very quickly, Ye Futian seemed to establish a connection with the stone platform and resonate with it.

“This…” The gazes of those who had spoken just now were all frozen on him. Regardless of whether their cultivations were powerful or weak, they were all staring wide-eyed at Ye Futian. Some more senior middle-level Renhuangs were red-faced.

This was too outrageous…

Then, why were they cultivating here?

Was this truly his first time here?

Many people felt as though they had received a huge blow. At that moment, frightening sword illusions burst forth from Ye Futian. Tens of thousands of sword illusions overlapped, becoming a Sword Will that pierced through the sky.

Buzz!

A sword appeared above Ye Futian’s body. It was not a real sword, but a shadow of it. The stone platform resonated with the sword shadow, causing another sword shadow to appear on the Sword Peak.

Ye Futian’s will shifted, and the Sword Will, which had been lingering above his head, transformed into countless sword illusions. Then, all the illusions became one. At this moment, those cultivators, who had been convincing themselves that they were hallucinating, felt somewhat dejected.

This was too great a blow.

“That’s all it takes to comprehend the Sword Will?” questioned an elder with a long beard. This elder had been cultivating here for a period of time, yet he had comprehended nothing so far. Ye Futian had just arrived, and he had already comprehended a Sword Will?

“How did you do it?” a Renhuang asked Ye Futian. Ye Futian looked at him and said with a smile, “This Sword Will is readily available. I need to face it and comprehend it. Isn’t it simple?”

“…” The facial expression of the inquirer turned ugly.

Hmm… Ye Futian said it was straightforward. How else could he retort Ye Futian? If he said it was very difficult, wouldn’t he be embarrassing himself in front of everyone?

Perhaps this youth was lucky. Or perhaps he cultivated similar Sword Will, to begin with. Someone thought to himself. Then, the cultivator challenged Ye Futian by saying, “Since you said it is simple, I am sure you can comprehend the rest of the Sword Wills too, right?”

“Exactly. It would help if you tried comprehending other Sword Wills,” the crowd echoed their agreement. They seemed to be comforted by the suggestion. Hopefully, Ye Futian’s achievement just now was all because of luck. Otherwise, it would be too great of a blow to them. They would be too ashamed to continue comprehending the Sword Wills here.

Unbeknownst to the crowd, the cultivator sitting on the stone platform right now was the most ashamed one. He occupied the best spot, yet he could not comprehend the Sword Will. Ye Futian had achieved it even though he was sitting at the bottom. This was… too humiliating.

The cultivator could only pretend that he did not know what had happened and continued his cultivation.

“Alright.”

Ye Futian nodded in agreement. He still sat cross-legged at the same spot. His gaze shifted towards another stone platform. Like what had happened just now, streaks of aura of the Great Path permeated and enveloped the stone platform. Ye Futian sensed the Sword Will that was hidden in it. A flash of sword light seemed to glint in his eyes. It was as though he could capture the flow of the sword.

Ye Futian quietly sensed the Sword Will while streaks of it flowed all around his body. A flash of sword light shone on his body. All the cultivators who were cultivating nearby focused their attention on him. This fellow was too bizarre. He had actually successfully comprehended a Sword Will upon his arrival. It was difficult for others not to notice him.

Everyone was anticipating Ye Futian’s failure. There was no special reason for it. They were simply jealous of his talent…

Under the gazes of many cultivators, the Sword Will on Ye Futian’s body intensified. Soon, the stone platform which Ye Futian targeted responded too. The Sword Will flowed towards the stone platform and lit it up. At the same time, the cultivator who was sitting on the stone platform opened his eyes and revealed a strange expression. Then, he turned around and looked in the direction of Ye Futian.

Next, a beam of light shot up to the sky, brightening up the area where Ye Futian was. The flash of sword light was clear and brilliant. It was blinding and mysterious.

A second Sword Will appeared behind Ye Futian. It materialized into a real sword and floated behind his back. The sword hummed. This sword was different from the first sword. The first sword was akin to shadow, while this second sword was akin to light.

“…”

All the cultivators stared at Ye Futian and the two Sword Wills behind him. The faces of many cultivators were red. They felt so ashamed of themselves.

“Let’s go.” An elder turned around and walked away from the area.

“Master, are we not comprehending these anymore?”

“What’s there to be comprehended? Such simple Sword Wills. One can tell from a glance that they are not powerful,” the elder bawled at his disciple. The disciple lowered his head and mumbled internally: since they were such simple Sword Wills, why didn’t Master manage to comprehend them? Moreover, didn’t Master tell him just now that these nine swords were extraordinary and they could increase their swordsmanship greatly if they were able to comprehend just one sword?

This change of manner was too quick.

The disciple turned around and glanced at Ye Futian. Most likely, Master was too embarrassed to stay around.

Ye Futian could comprehend the Sword Wills in an instant. The other cultivators had been around for a while, yet they were nowhere near comprehending the Sword Wills. This fateful encounter did not belong to them, so they might as well leave right away.

When the other cultivators saw what had happened, they were speechless as well. Was the difference in their level of comprehension that huge?

People who could come here were all top figures in their respective continents. This mysterious white-haired Renhuang, who popped out of nowhere, had shattered their confidence. The difference between this Renhuang and them was too big.

Thankfully, only one such monstrous figure existed around here. The level of those cultivators sitting on the stone platforms was similar to that of the crowd. None of them were as powerful as Ye Futian.

The female Renhuang, who had moved on to the next stone platform before this, also stopped cultivating. She turned around and looked at Ye Futian. Just a while ago, she reminded Ye Futian not to be overconfident since these Sword Wills were not simple. She even advised him to stop wasting time and move on to other places if he could not comprehend it.

So now, who should be the ones to move on to other places?

She felt as though she was the one who was wasting her time here.

However, Ye Futian did not take her words to heart. He didn’t even look at her. He was immersed in his own training and had started comprehending the third Sword Will.

Similar to before, not long after, yet another stone platform glowed. The stone platform was brilliant while the Sword Will lingered. A third sword appeared behind Ye Futian.

This sword seemed to contain a terrifying grandeur. Even though it was a Sword Will, one could feel the weight of it. The crowd could feel the pressure emanated by the sword.

There were nine forms to this swordsmanship, and each form was unique. After one mastered and assimilated all nine forms, then only could one acquire the complete sword technique.

After Ye Futian had comprehended the third sword, he moved on to the fourth sword, the fifth sword, the sixth sword…

At the foot of the Sword Peak, all the cultivators had ceased cultivating. They were all watching Ye Futian comprehending the Sword Wills.

Standing behind Ye Futian, Emperor Helian, Beigong Ao, and the rest of Ye Futian’s group was also staring at him. They were dumbfounded. As they stood there, they could sense that the crowd was scrutinizing them too.

This was embarrassing…

Could he be more subtle about it?

With Ye Futian showing off, how could the rest cultivate?

Beigong Shuang’s eyes blinked as she stared at Ye Futian. This fellow was so powerful, yet he was reluctant to guide her in her cultivation.

On the stone platforms, the cultivators sitting on top of them had also stopped at this moment, not continuing to cultivate. They turned to look at Ye Futian instead, just sitting there watching him quietly.

Was this a slap to their faces?

How could they still sit on the stone platforms and cultivate?

The figures cultivating on the stone platforms were not ordinary figures. They were either cultivators with high cultivation or members from powerful forces. Yet, once Ye Futian appeared, the rest of them were thoroughly disgraced.

“This b*st*rd really wrecked our image,” an eighth-tier cultivator grunted as he looked at Ye Futian. He had a sudden urge to beat Ye Futian up. However, he wanted to see whether this brat could comprehend all nine Sword Wills.

“Indeed,” a person sitting on another stone platform replied. Where could they put their old faces?

There was a youth who had an ugly expression. However, his gaze was very sharp as he revealed a cold smile. He said, “His talent is exceptional. Why would he be bothered about how he made us look?”

The elder to the side glanced over at him. He smiled and did not say anything. This youth seemed dissatisfied. However, that was normal. The Sword Will of the stone platform he sat on was not generated because of him. This would certainly be very embarrassing.

If it was wrong to have such astounding comprehension, then Ye Futian was definitely wrong.

Seven swords had already been formed. Ye Futian was comprehending the eighth Sword Will. Ye Futian was taking a long time to comprehend this Sword Will. Many people were quietly watching him. Although they were displeased with Ye Futian’s comprehension, the crowd was watching him very attentively.

At last, currents of swordsmanship aura coalesced and appeared from the stone platform. This Sword Will was very slow and cumbersome. It did not seem to have the swiftness of swordsmanship. Instead, it was very slow.

Behind Ye Futian, the eighth sword also appeared.

Of the nine swords of the Sword Peak, Ye Futian was only left with the last one now.

Ye Futian’s gaze shifted towards the final stone platform. On it, there was a black-robed youth staring at him. The youth asked, “Your aura of the Great Path is extraordinary. What powers of the Great Path have you cultivated?”

“Swordsmanship, the five elements, etc. I have dabbled in all of them,” Ye Futian replied.

“Based on your description, you have comprehended many Great Paths,” the black-robed youth concluded. The black-robed youth was a middle-level Renhuang. His temperament was sharp, and he emanated a pressuring vibe. He continued to inquire, “The aura of the Great Path that you unleashed contains a unique will. Can you unleash it again and let me sense it?”

The energy unleashed by Ye Futian was inclusive, and it seemed to be able to draw out the currents of swordsmanship aura in the stone platforms. According to the black-robed youth’s speculation, Ye Futian’s quick comprehension was most likely related to his cultivation. It wasn’t entirely because he was good at comprehending.

Ye Futian glanced at the other party. He had replied the other party’s question, yet this black-robed youth pried into his cultivation method. His behavior was rude.

The few people who were behind Ye Futian frowned too. Before this, Ye Futian’s training here had been rather smooth. Even though the other cultivators were envious of him, they didn’t really do anything to him. However, the attitude of this black-robed youth made them feel uneasy.

“I refuse,” Ye Futian rejected with a smile. After that, his aura of the Great Path permeated as he continued to comprehend the last Sword Will.

When the black-robed youth heard Ye Futian’s answer, his extremely sharp gaze shot out a beam of cold light of swordsmanship. Ye Futian refused to show him his aura!
