The Legend of Futian

Chapter 1993 - Decoded



Chapter 1993: Decoded

“Return to innocence,” Ye Futian said to himself as he looked at the cliff. This was the transcendence of the Way, and he was the representation of the Way.

Thunder Punishing Skylord had engraved the Way for decades before he took that step and transformed.

Ye Futian had come into contact with many impressive top figures in the past, which was why he could more or less perceive the realm of Thunder Punishing Skylord. The engravings that he carved on the cliff were not a complete set of ax techniques but was a record of the transformation of his realm, the process of his transcendence.

“Shuang, you were right,” Ye Futian said. “Back then when the Thunder Punishing Skylord enlightened the Way and beyond, everything that was engraved here denoted his process of enlightenment. Although not meant to be a complete set of ax techniques, each technique was independent of the other. Therefore, after his enlightenment, Thunder Punishing Skylord no longer needed the treasure. Even top-level divine item no longer meant anything to him.”

Beigong Shuang regarded him with her beautiful eyes and asked, “Did you comprehend it?”

This dude, did he get it again? Her impression of Ye Futian was that he had a great ability to comprehend. It seemed as if there was nothing that he couldn’t understand.

“Not yet, but I already know the key to it. It was you who inspired me,” Ye Futian said with a smile. His words attracted the attention of many, and while they all looked surprised, they were skeptical.

Did he get it?

But why was it that they didn’t quite believe it?

In front, the young man from the previous encounter frowned, but before he could speak, the woman next to him turned around to look at Ye Futian. She asked, “What did you comprehend?”

Actually, this woman had similar thoughts as Ye Futian and Beigong Shuang. The more she steeped herself in it, the stronger her conviction became. Everything on the cliff was independent with no relation to one another. The young man next to her might have had it all wrong.

However, she didn’t say anything, just allowing the possibility that someone else could find the answer.

The reason she turned around and asked him was because Ye Futian had declared that he knew the key to it all.

“I comprehended the mentality of Thunder Punishing Skylord when he was cultivating here,” said Ye Futian.

“Is that so?” The young man glanced at him coldly and said, “I would like to see that with my own eyes.”

Ye Futian smiled and said nothing. He continued to look at the cliff wall, starting from the first mark on the pattern, and comprehending from the beginning. This mark seemed to have been imprinted extremely clearly in his mind.

“In that case, watch closely,” Ye Futian said. And a very bright divine light from his eyes directly shined upon the mark on the cliff. In that instant, there seemed to be an elusive figure that landed inside the mark and turned into an avatar of Ye Futian. The avatar moved as the mark also move. It was as if it was now alive.

Buzz!

A brilliant glow burst out, and from the cliff, a small figure seemed to appear, as if the Thunder Punishing Skylord himself had returned, waving an ax. Everyone could feel its power and speed, which forced many in front of the cliff to step back as if they were frightened.

But after they had retreated, they found that there was no real damage. The illusion was not real, but it was real enough to trick them into believing that it was.

“This…” Those around all turned their heads to look at Ye Futian with quite a shock. No one had been able to do the same as he had just done, urging the mark to release itself to the outside world so that all may perceive it.

Could it be that he had truly comprehended it?

The woman also had a look of surprise on her face as she gave Ye Futian a serious assessing look.

The young man next to her had a terrible look on his face. Ye Futian did show him clearly what he could accomplish.

If Ye Futian had really done it, then it would be a slap in the face for him. Previously, he was extremely high-handed when he announced that Beigong Shuang was flat-out wrong and that she was not worthy of arguing with him.

After that, Ye Futian intervened.

If Ye Futian confirmed that he was wrong today, then his shame would be unimaginable.

It was just that apart from believing in his own judgment, he didn’t think that Ye Futian could solve the secret of the cliff. Like Ye Futian, he believed that if he couldn’t solve the riddle, then no one else could either and that no one else would be able to decode this mystery.

Because of this self-confidence, he had left himself no room for doubts.

But it seemed that he was wrong after all. The other man was far more powerful than he initially thought.

Ye Futian didn’t care about their looks, nor did he pay any attention to these people. He concentrated on the front, and soon, the light of the second mark lit up. This sight made Beigong Ao and Beigong Shuang feel as if they were back on Eastern Deity Island.

It was the same as before. Only he and he alone could unlock the relic left by those figures of the past.

Was there any relic that could baffle him?

Beigong Shuang and Beigong Ao couldn’t help but ask themselves, “This guy is a relic terminator. It’s like there’s nothing he can’t decode.”

As the rays of light lit up, the brilliance released by the pattern on the cliff wall became stronger. Many people saw many phantom shadows dancing, waving their battle-axes, and a terrifying conception bloomed from them. The cultivators around it had all felt the conception and didn’t want to miss such an opportunity.

“Looks like he was right,” the woman murmured. The marks on the cliff lit up. Everyone could clearly feel the conception. They felt those marks as when Thunder Punishing Skylord had engraved them there in the days of yore, swinging his battle-ax at his pleasure. There was no connection between each mark, and they did not converge into a set of ax techniques.

This meant that Ye Futian was right.

The young man next to her became even more embarrassed when he heard her words. An elder behind him said, “Or these chaotic ax techniques are a system themselves. They could be considered a complete set of ax techniques.”

Although this was not completely unreasonable, it did seem a bit far-fetched, all to save face for the young man.

The woman understood it quite well, so she only nodded gently and said, “Perhaps it is so.”

As they were talking, brilliant bright lights shot out from the cliff wall, and a rumbling sound accompanied with it. As the light spread from the pattern toward the cliff wall next to this one, more and more marks lit up. Gradually, the cliffs in front of the coast were trembling violently, as the light of those marks started to make cracks on the cliffs, and each crack seemed to have been split by a battle-ax.

With the strength of the Thunder Punishing Skylord back then, these cliffs could not have born the Way he engraved here. Perhaps they were already full of fissures and cracks, sealed with the Great Path by the Thunder Punishing Skylord. Maybe these marks were the key to unlocked the mystery. This was probably why no one had been able to break it by force all these years.

“It’s about to break,” many whispered as the bright light burst out, stinging their eyes. Those cracks tore open the cliff wall, and in an instant, everything in front of them disappeared and turned into dust.

Those who beheld the sight were quite emotional inside. After so many years, someone had actually decoded it.

This, too, confirmed what Ye Futian had said—he was right.

On the contrary, it was the young man who was wrong. He had claimed that Thunder Punishing Skylord had once been a guest at his house. But previously, he was so insistent that Beigong Shuang was wrong.

Thinking about it now, his display of aggression before seemed rather ironic.

Many people glanced at the young man, and he clearly felt these gazes. As a top-notch genius Renhuang, he felt embarrassed at this moment. His face was hot, and he did not speak, nor did he look at the others. Grimly, he kept his eyes forward.

A horrific thunder field appeared in the space that was destroyed. In that field, there was a Thunder Divine Orb floating in the air; it was like an eye that was swallowing up the terrifying thunder power between heaven and earth. One after another, the thundering lightning surrounded it and integrated with it.

All the cultivators stood there, still, as if they dared not act rashly.

This must be the treasure left by Thunder Punishing Skylord.

“The Thunder Punishing Skylord left the cliff here long ago. Not only did he not destroy it, but also he sealed a treasure here, clearly for the one who could decode the secret of the cliff. The elder did it, and the treasure should belong to him.” At this time, a voice was heard, directing everyone’s attention to the speaker.

It was Lin Yuan. His remarks clearly implied that the treasure should go to Ye Futian.

No one else said anything. There were not many who could compete with Ye Futian and his people. No one knew whether the group that argued with Ye Futian would try to compete for this treasure.

But the woman next to the young man glanced at him and said, “Let’s go.”

Obviously, they had no intention to fight for it. From their perspective, this treasure was not that precious. Since it was Ye Futian who decoded it, there was no need to fight. The other party must have come from a supreme principality.

“Very well.” The young man nodded. It was obvious that he had lost this time. He turned his head to look at Ye Futian. He smiled and said, “See you on Turtle Deity Island.”

Once he finished speaking, his group of people broke through the void and left.

Ye Futian glanced at the man who was leaving, then looked at that treasure, and said to Beigong Shuang, who was next to him, “Last time, the Cloud Wood was taken by your father. This time, this treasure belongs to you.”

“Me?” Beigong Shuang looked at Ye Futian.

“I have no shortage of treasures of this kind,” said Ye Futian with a smile. Beigong Shuang looked at him and then at her father, who nodded slightly at her. He said, “You may accept it.”

“Mmm.” Beigong Shuang walked forward and did not refuse. Those who were next to them were confounded. A treasure of this level was given away just like that!
