Chapter 1882 Sword Forging
Ye Futian received Beigong Shuang. The belle of the Beigong Family indeed had striking features that set her apart from the rest. Born to a noble family, she naturally had a refined air about her, yet she still possessed an aura of feminine gentleness, as though she were a royal princess.
Upon seeing Ye Futian, Beigong Shuang bowed lightly and greeted, "Beigong Shuang pays her respects to the Pavilion Master."
As she finished speaking, she raised her head and gazed at Ye Futian with her gorgeous eyes. She was intrigued by this distinguished figure before her, who had recently risen to fame and had become the center of attention of the continent in an instant. Now that she had seen him, her first impression was, rather surprisingly, that he was dashing. Ye Futian had an air of refined masculinity, and with a head of long silver hair, the first impression that he gave Beigong Shuang was that he was a handsome man.
Furthermore, he seemed to have an exceptionally unique temperament.
"What has brought Ms. Beigong here today?" asked Ye Futian.
"After father returned, he would often mention Pavilion Master Ye, and he would have nothing but praises for you. Moreover, Beigong Shuang has always admired Pavilion Master Ye, and so I wanted to see you. Getting to see Pavilion Master today has made this trip worthwhile. Previously father also hoped for me to come to Dongyuan Pavilion to cultivate and ask for guidance from Pavilion Master. Hence, I have come to pay a visit to Pavilion Master with the hope that I can follow Pavilion Master in the path of cultivation." Beigong Shuang’s voice was crisp, her tone calm and warm, soothing for anyone who listened.
Of course, this could be because she had an exceptionally beautiful face that made it difficult for anyone to be uncomfortable with her.
The people around them let out an expression of slight intrigue while Black Wind Condor blankly glanced at her. What’s the use of having a pretty face? How narrow did she think his master’s horizons were? The royal princess is still queuing, and Princess Donghuang is still waiting for Master to conquer her in the future! it thought.
The rich daughters of renowned families may be unusually attractive, but they will not catch the eye of Condor.
After all, my present self has a more exquisite taste than most.
Xia Qingyuan also looked at Beigong Shuang. A woman with such beauty says she wants to follow Ye Futian in cultivation. What does she mean? she wondered.
Ye Futian also felt a little perplexed. From what he heard from Helian You, Beigong Shuang was Beigong Ao’s daughter—the belle of the Beigong Family—and had exceptional talent. Hypothetically, even if the Beigong Family bore grudges against him and wanted to sacrifice someone to win him over, they wouldn’t have sent her.
By doing this, it seems like they approve of him greatly.
Could it be that the Beigong Family really did not have any tinge of resentment over what happened the last time?
In fact, because of the distance that had formed between them the last time, even though neither party side anything, but certainly both of them know that if the Beigong Family initiates diplomacy, by right, Ye Futian should accept the Beigong Family’s goodwill, and with that, let that event be history.
However, Ye Futian was not interested in doing so. "Since you have come, you can cultivate in Dongyuan Pavilion," Ye Futian spoke as he regarded Beigong Shuang. "If you have any questions, we can discuss them together. Coincidentally, the elder princess is also present. Both of you can learn from each other. As for guidance, I’m afraid that I won’t be of much help since my cultivation level is nowhere near as high as yours."
Helian You glanced at Ye Futian with astonishment. What a beautiful princess, yet he rejected her so decisively. Then again, it seems like Ye Futian already has a top beauty by his side. I wonder what their relationship is. Perhaps they are cultivation partners.
Xia Qingyuan had been extremely lowkey all along, staying behind Ye Futian silently without showing anything. Hence, it was difficult to determine her relationship with Ye Futian.
As for Ying Qing, she has already taken off her mask. Indeed, she used to cultivate under the guidance of Mr. South Mountain. Of course, no one had publicly discussed this matter, but the Helian Royal Family knew it in their hearts, which further confirmed what they discussed the last time.
Ying Qing had also been cultivating quietly in Dongyuan Pavilion all along.
"Father says that the Pavilion Master’s future achievements will be far beyond his. He also said that currently, you are already more enlightened than him in certain aspects of cultivation," Beigong Shuang said. "Please forgive me if I should ever disturb you while I am cultivating in Dongyuan Pavilion."
Ye Futian nodded. Beigong Shuang had already been courteous to such a great extent, and she had already behaved in the most diplomatic manner possible. She had only hinted at the possibility that she would ask for his guidance sometime in the future, so there was no reason for him to reject her.
"Alright, if there is anything you need help with, you can look for me," Ye Futian said.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master." Beigong Shuang bowed slightly and said, "Then I’ll go take a look around Dongyuan Pavilion."
"Please," Ye Futian replied. With that, Beigong Shuang left for the Dongyuan Pavilion.
After she left, Helian You looked at Ye Futian and said, "Seems like I overthought things. Senior Beigong’s horizons are far wider than mine."
Ye Futian understood the underlying meaning of her words. Previously, they thought that the Beigong Family might have borne grudges against them because of what happened. Evidently, the Beigong Family wishes to have Beigong Shuang to resolve the bitterness between them.
Of course, Helian You was thinking a bit more than Ye Futian. She was thinking, some of what she and her father guessed might have been the conclusions that Beigong Ao also arrived at, which was why he thought extremely highly of Ye Futian.
In addition, Ye Futian’s exceptional talent was indeed tempting.
Even though they might not have any pursuits in this Dongyuan Pavilion, but having put in so much effort into cultivation, who wouldn’t want to continue making progress?
In the next year, there would be an opportunity.
With Ye Futian leading them towards it as the Dongyuan Pavilion Master, they could certainly be stronger than Liu Han. Even though Liu Han’s cultivation level might be higher, he had far less potential than Ye Futian. Furthermore, Ye Futian’s abilities were unfathomable, and until the present day, they could not see through him. If their hypothesis that Fu Mie from Senluo Manor was somehow related to Ye Futian, then his strength would be even more terrifying than what they imagined.
Ye Futian didn’t think too much about it and continued to cultivate in isolation. He didn’t want to waste even a moment; to him, raising his strength was more important than anything.
A few days ago, Yang Dongqing from the Yang Family heard about this and was extremely unhappy.
"Helian, that brat keeps avoiding me. Even Beigong Ao is also so spineless. Have these years of cultivation ground his temper?" Yang Dongqing had a sharp glint to his eyes, yet he was afraid of a third-tier Divine Wheel practitioner.
"Beigong Ao showed such courtesy to Ye Liunian. Is this because he fears him?" asked someone around him.
Even if he is exceptionally talented and can slay many middle-level Renhuangs, there is still a huge difference between a middle-level Renhuang and a high-level Renhuang. If you are talking about fearing him, that will at most be a thing of the far future. Without our support, he could not possibly have ascended to the position of Dongyuan Pavilion Master. Yet, after he has gotten what he wanted, he threw all the tedious work to us to do and just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of our labor. Worse still, he set all those new rules. From where I am standing, it looks exactly like he thinks he owns Dongyuan Pavilion, Yang Dongqing thought. He had always had strong opinions about this matter.
He planned to support a puppet to the throne, but in the end, things were spiraling out of his control.
Frustratingly, Emperor Helian seemed to really take pains to aid him, even let the elder princess Helian You follow him around and help him, and dispatched manpower to help him manage Dongyuan Pavilion.
Helian Emperor had taken Ye Futian under his wing, so Yang Dongqing wanted to provoke the Beigong Family into confronting Fe Futian. Beigong Ao was unexpectedly spineless. He swallowed his pride and let go of his grudges. He even sent Beigong Shuang to Dongyuan Pavilion.
In this state of things, it would be extremely difficult to undermine Ye Futian’s position as the Pavilion Master.
Even though he could enter Dongyuan Pavilion to cultivate, there was no way for him to obtain any form of authority there.
"It’s not that he is afraid, but rather, it is likely that he is the same as Helian and is being drawn by Ye Liunian’s potential." Yang Dongqing continued, "Don’t forget that we still have to go pay a visit next year."
Upon hearing Yang Dongqing’s words, the people around him instantly understood. Time flew by really quickly.
In the next year, the Gathering of Prominent Figures would be happening again.
Ye Futian, on the other hand, wasn’t thinking too much about it. The investigations into what happened the last time bore no fruit at all, and so, he couldn’t care less. It didn’t matter whether or not it was Yang Dongqing’s doing or what motives the Yang Family had. If he were forced to fight, he wouldn’t think much about it either.
After that battle, he could roughly gauge the strength of a few people to be at about the level of Senluo Manor Chief.
The Dongyuan Pavilion Cultivation Temple is at the highest point of Dongyuan Pavilion. After successfully laying out the Great Way Matrix, Ye Futian levitated among the clouds. The Will of the Great Way shrouded him, turning the atmosphere around him quite terrifying.
Ye Futian’s clothes fluttered about him, his long hair dancing behind him. The entire sky seemed to turn into a Great Way Forge. As he cultivated his path on the Great Way, Ye Futian forged all fragments of his Will in his body. A massive storm appeared in the sky, and in the eye of this storm, one could vaguely see a wisp of a silhouette. It was the same silhouette as Ye Futian, yet it looked like a Celestial Shadow.
Boom!
A terrifying aura hammered down from the heavens that got stronger by the second. With the deity-induced seal formation, a limitless amount of the Will of the Great Way instantly condensed into a single body. It was as though the infinite wisps of Will were intertwined at one point.
Three swords hovered at that point, or rather, three rays of Sword Will.
Nourished by Ye Futian’s Great Way, the three rays of Sword Will became more terrifying by the second. The surrounding Great Way suddenly evolved into a violent vortex, and the Celestial Shadow shot up to a hundred feet and fusing into the surrounding heavens and earth.
Within the three rays of Sword Will, violent vortices appeared that swallowed everything. Accompanying the blades of light that emanated, a massive Sword Aura appeared in the region, and intense ripples appeared even across the Great Way Matrix.
Cheep cheep... a sharp screech sounded throughout the entire region as billions of currents of Sword Will cascaded from the heavens. It was as though each strand of Sword Will contained a strong intent to assault. However, that only lasted for an instant; everything merged into Ye Futian’s body, and countless strands of Sword Will wound around his body.
The storm around gradually died down. Ye Futian opened his eyes. His body that levitated in the sky was as straight as a sword. Although it was a human body, it gave off the impression that it was sharper than any sword.
The Way of the Sword nourishes the Sword Will. I wonder how strong my attack power is now, Ye Futian thought silently. Previously during the Battle of Dongyuan Pavilion, just one streak of Sword Will that wasn’t even this strong could slay multiple middle-level Renhuangs. Now that he was emanating Sword Will, he was surely a lot stronger and could kill a common middle-level Renhuang with a single strike.
Below beside the Dongyuan Pavilion, Helian You raised her head and looked up at the sky. Ripples were coursing through the Great Way Matrix. She knew that Ye Futian was cultivating above.
Having followed Ye Futian for quite some time already, Helian You even knew the cultivation method he was using.
Can he successfully cultivate using the method recorded in that scripture?
A figure in white gradually descended from above Dongyuan Pavilion. Helian You looked at the silhouette and could sense Ye Futian’s aura. Beneath his handsome features was a radiance that was akin to a polished sword.
At that moment, He Lianyou understood that after those few days of cultivation, Ye Futian’s swordsmanship has gotten stronger!
