Chapter 2581: The Plan
Sub-divine Elixirs of the Second Tribulation!
Technically, elixirs of this level could only be produced by a cultivator who had survived the Second Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, but this was just in theory. In reality, not all alchemy masters of this realm necessarily had the ability to produce the Sub-divine Elixir of the Second Divine Tribulation.
But at this moment, Xi Chiyao had the Elixir of the Second Divine Tribulation in her possession, which Ye Futian had just given her; how could she not be shocked?
There were only two top alchemy masters in Ziwei Segmentum—Ye Futian and Taoist Monk Mu. However, the cultivation of Taoist Monk Mu was only at the first level of the Tribulation Plane.
So, who made these Sub-divine Elixirs of the Second Tribulation?
Xi Chiyao’s beautiful eyes fell on Ye Futian. “Did you make them?”
“After the medicinal materials from the goddess are made into elixirs, I will have someone deliver some of them to the West Imperial Palace. Or the West Imperial Palace can also send someone here to fetch it.” Ye Futian did not respond to her question directly, but his words made all the cultivators from the West Imperial Palace tremble in their hearts.
Was this evasion some silent acquiescence?
So, the cultivators in the Ziwei Segmentum were immune to sights of the Divine Tribulations of the Great Path? Was it something they grew accustomed to?
Obviously, someone had already survived divine tribulation before that, which accounted for their nonchalance.
“When I fought with you many years ago, I had planned to stay in the Heavenly Mandate Academy to cultivate. But for so many years, it had never become a reality. Now, what do you think about me staying in Ziwei Imperial Palace to cultivate?” Xi Chiyao asked with a smile as she looked at Ye Futian. She was not joking. This was a real desire that she had.
The cultivation environment of Ziwei Segmentum was pretty good, and there were also elixirs to help with the cultivation. More importantly, she wanted to see what was going on inside the Ziwei Imperial Palace now.
Since the Ziwei Segmentum was freed from its imprisonment and the news got back to the Divine Prefecture, all the forces in the Divine Prefecture had made preparations. However, there had been no movement in the Ziwei Segmentum for such a long time that they assumed it was because Ziwei Imperial Palace itself was still weak and that they did not dare go to the divine mountain for revenge. Right now, all these forces figured Ye Futian and his people would temporarily stay put inside the Ziwei Segmentum and continue to strengthen themselves. Ye Futian, too, was cautious and did not dare to take any additional risks.
How could the cultivators from top principalities in the Divine Prefecture know that the current situation in Ziwei Imperial Palace was so prosperous? They were mass-producing existences of Tribulation Plane.
Was Ye Futian planning to create a camp of cultivators in the Tribulation Plane?
“If the goddess desires to do so, of course, you can,” Ye Futian responded. He didn’t mind Xi Chiyao cultivating here at all. Now that Ziwei Segmentum was enemy with all of the Divine Prefecture, West Imperial Palace was a rare ally and could provide them with lots of help.
“Of course I want to, but I am afraid I’m going to have to trouble you from time to time,” said Xi Chiyao with a smile. She was serious about staying. She turned to the cultivators from West Imperial Palace and said, “You guys take the elixirs back and let them know that I will be cultivating here for some years.”
“Very well,” These people nodded, not at all worried if something would happen to Xi Chiyao while she was in Ziwei Segmentum. Even in the outside world, not many could touch Xi Chiyao in her current realm of cultivation.
The cultivators from the West Imperial Palace left, and Xi Chiyao stayed behind. Ye Futian turned to look at the cultivator experiencing the tribulation and saw it was Chen Yi. He who had inherited the relic of light for nearly 50 years was finally beginning to experience the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.
Chen Yi’s tribulation was an incredibly terrifying Tribulation of Light. Although everyone was getting used to seeing tribulations, especially after they had so many experiences in elixir tribulations, there were still many who paid close attention to Chen Yi’s tribulation as this particular tribulation descended; they could see that his was very powerful.
Every cultivator would encounter a different kind of divine tribulation, as they were not all the same.
However, Ye Futian was most eager to witness the birth of cultivators in the Second Divine Tribulation, but he recognized that it would be a little difficult in the short run.
Prior to this, the only cultivators in the First Tribulation Realm were Hua Jieyu, Taoist Monk Mu, Murong Yu, and Emperor Xi. Taoist Monk Mu was the one who had stayed in this realm the longest, followed by Emperor Xi. But their realm was not yet deep enough.
After Chen Yi survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, he continued to cultivate in seclusion. There were two in the Tribulation Plane among the four great protectors around Ye Futian—Blind Tie and Chen Yi.
The qualities of the cultivators in Ziwei Imperial Palace were getting more powerful by the day, and now their strength was almost comparable to that of the Ancient God Clans.
The Ancient God Clans possessed the inheritance of the Great Emperor, but in Ziwei Segmentum, the will of Ziwei the Great remained. The combat effectiveness of all the peak cultivators, aside from those who had survived the First Divine Tribulation, also included the Supreme Elder Lord Chen in the uppermost level, then Ye Futian himself.
This kind of makeup was enough to collide head-on with the Ancient God Clans.
But Ye Futian had no intention to stop there. He was not yet satisfied. The enemies of Ziwei Segmentum were not just one Ancient God Clan, but all six of them within the Divine Prefecture, as well as some other top forces in the Divine Prefecture.
Therefore, they needed to be stronger.
“It seems that alchemy is far better than armor-making.” Xi Chiyao whispered. Those top alchemy masters were tremendously awesome.
“You can’t think it’s as simple as all that,” Ye Futian replied. “In Ziwei Imperial Palace, the people who have experienced the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path are all of the cultivators with extraordinary cultivation already. Even if they relied solely on themselves, they could pass over this hurdle on their own. The aid from the elixir was to make their foundation more stable and shorten the time it took. That’s why we are seeing a series of tribulations in a short period of time.”
Blind Tie, Yang Wuqi, and Chen Yi were all very strong in their own right.
“The elixirs are produced by you, so whatever you say is right.” Xi Chiyao didn’t refute him but looked at Ye Futian with a smile. As a cultivator in the Tribulation Plane who was also the Goddess of West Imperial Palace, she looked like a little girl. There was some hero worship in those beautiful eyes of hers, which was rather deceptive.
A character like her had a majestic authority all of her own, for she was an unattainable goddess to most.
“Goddess, cultivate as you please. I will have to get back to practice alchemy.” Ye Futian deliberately avoided Xi Chiyao’s gaze. His figure flickered as he left.
Watching Ye Futian’s departing figure, Xi Chiyao chuckled. Was it possible for this guy to feel embarrassed?
Now, that was something really interesting!
After Chen Yi, there was another person who experienced the divine tribulation, and it was Hua Qingqing. To the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace, she had always been shrouded in mystery. She was sisters with the palace lord’s wife, Hua Jieyu, and she was not often out and about. Most of the time, she spent it with Hua Fengliu and Nandou Wenyin, but her cultivation was astounding to the point of being fearsome. The seniors within Ziwei Imperial Palace knew that Hua Qingqing had accompanied The Buddha in cultivation. In the Western Heavenly World, she was respected by the Buddha Lords as a Great Buddha herself.
After Hua Qingqing, there was another cultivator who survived the divine tribulation, and by this time, it was already three years after Ziwei Imperial Palace broke out of its imprisonment. This time, the person who survived the tribulation was a pleasant surprise to Ye Futian, and he was the one person that Ye Futian looked forward to the most so far.
Gu Dongliu finally ushered in his Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.
In the past three years, five cultivators had survived the divine tribulation. Most of them had something to do with the Great Emperors or figures on that level. Blind Tie had been instructed by the teacher and later on inherited an imperial star. Gu Dongliu had inherited from the Demon Monarch and also inherited an imperial star at some point. Chen Yi inherited the Light, and Hua Qingqing had accompanied The Buddha in his cultivation. Only Yang Wuqi was totally unexpected by everyone. For Ziwei Imperial Palace, it was a pleasant surprise, but it also demonstrated that this quiet man, who was not fond of showing off and kept an extremely low profile, was, in fact, incredibly talented.
After Gu Dongliu survived the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path, the number of people in the Tribulation Plane inside Ziwei Imperial Palace had reached double digits.
Gu Dongliu’s tribulation had attracted many people to watch. People in Ziwei Imperial Palace knew that the Palace Lord had a special affection for this third senior brother of his, just like his second senior sister and the elder brother. As far as they knew, the Palace Lord had been cared for by these several senior brothers and sisters of his when he was young. They were very protective of him, and they had a deep affection for one another.
This kind of feeling may not be something they could understand now, but the people in the imperial palace were a little envious. They would really like to see what Ye Futian was like as a young kid, but few people had that privileged experience.
Gu Dongliu stood above the starry sky as the last light of tribulation fell, his whole body radiant and sacred. His entire temperament had transformed. The aura that permeated from his body was already the aura of a powerful cultivator of the Tribulation Plane.
He stood there quietly, and no one disturbed him. Ye Futian was standing with a lot of other people, such as their elder brother and second senior sister.
“If our master sees this today, he will be very happy,” their elder brother, Sword Saint, said with a smile. His eyes were full of happiness. He had seen these junior brothers in their growth.
“Mmm,” Ye Futian nodded. “Definitely.”
“Elder brother, after you experienced the divine tribulation, when we see our master one day, he will be so pleased to know he has three such outstanding disciples,” Zhuge Mingyue said with a small smile. For many years, the Sword Saint’s cultivation was not inconsiderable, as he was already in the Ninth-Realm of Renhuang. Although he was blessed with less natural talent, Ye Futian had guided him step by step and reshaped his talent with elixirs. He had received the best elixirs from the first batch back then, so he had been doing very well indeed.
Not only him, but others like Ye Wuchen, Swordmaster of Lihen, Dou Zhao, and Xiao Muyu, none of them was weak in their cultivation. Without exception, they were either in Upper Renhuang or in the realm of peak Renhuang.
If the Divine Prefecture was not a constant threat, a few people from this group was enough to sweep through and lord over the Nine Supreme Regions of the Original Realm.
“I’m still not there yet.” Sword Saint said, “If Yu Sheng is here, Futian and Yu Sheng would make a peerless duo. Then, with the cultivators from Ziwei Segmentum, they could probably vanquish the forces below imperial level sooner rather than later.”
“I am rather looking forward to what you have assessed. No one knows what is the situation with Yu Sheng’s cultivation in the Devil World,” Zhuge Mingyue murmured. They had never worried about Yu Sheng. When the time was right, Yu Sheng would come to Ye Futian’s side once again.
In this world, Yu Sheng and Hua Jieyu were the closest people to Ye Futian; the disciples from the Cottage could only be seconds after the two of them.
“Yu Sheng?” Ye Futian thought of his brother and said with a smile, “How could he be falling behind? The whole Devil World must have heard of Yu Sheng’s name by now.”
“What plans do you have next? Continue to cultivate in retreat to improve your strength?” Zhuge Mingyue asked.
“No.” Ye Futian shook his head, “It’s been so many years already, and it’s time to go out for a while.”
“What is your first step?” asked Hua Jieyu.
“The first step would be sweeping through the Original Realm!” Ye Futian said. The land of the Original Realm was once ruled by him as he was known as the king of the Original Realm. It was the involvement of other major worlds that caused the chaos and disorder in the Original Realm.
After so many years, the Original Realm was in need of reorganization!
