Chapter 1909 Comprehension

Ye Futian’s group entered into the Illusory Sky Domain. It was as though they were in a different dimension. They could no longer find the entrance they came in from. It seemed like a matrix had cut them off from the outside world.

This place was a piece of land. By expanding their wills, they could sense many cultivators present in this space.

"It’s so packed?"

Ye Futian’s will swept across the Illusory Sky Domain. He discovered that this space was completely different from the outside world. This was a dense region filled with cultivators. It was as though all of them were gathered on one island. Everywhere their wills swept over, the place was filled with people.

Before this, Bai Mu had said that one-fourth of the people who came to Eastern Deity Island had entered the domain. One could imagine how many cultivators that was. Tens of thousands of powerful cultivators had gathered together. Many among them were incredible figures.

In the sky far in the distance, the sound of a terrifying collision could be heard. Ye Futian’s group raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw that a huge battle had broken out in the sky above the region of land. It was a group battle between many Renhuangs. When they battled, it was as though the heavens and earth were being torn apart. The apocalyptic scene was extremely frightening.

However, the people in the Illusory Sky Domain seemed unfazed by the commotion. They seemed used to such battles. In this domain, battles were never happening in one place. Due to disputes over fateful encounters of the Great Path, there was friction between multiple parties in many places. Many battles had erupted even before Ye Futian had arrived in this place. Many people had fallen here.

Many people did not go seeking fateful encounters from island to island, instead coming straight here. This was not their first time on Eastern Deity Island for many cultivators. By understanding the situation on top of having powerful abilities, they immediately rushed over to the Illusory Sky Domain for the Great Path’s fateful encounters within the domain.

For example, Jun Qiuyan had also done so. Ye Futian’s will noticed him. There were many cultivators around Jiu Qiuyan, forming an army of Renhuangs.

Ye Futian recalled that before this, Jun Qiuyan was collecting Eastern Deity Tokens. He must have collected them so he could bring more cultivators into this domain. That way, when it came to seizing the fateful encounters of the Great Path, they would have the absolute advantage when it came to numbers.

Around Ye Futian, the other cultivators also expanded their own wills. In a low voice, Emperor Helian said, "There are many fateful encounters of the Great Path in this place. There are sure to be many cultivators no matter where we go."

Ye Futian naturally also noticed this. His will swept across the vast domain. He then moved and said, "Let’s go."

Their group headed in one direction. Not long after, they arrived at an ancient peak.

This was a mountain that towered into the sky. The mountain was actually in the shape of a sword. Standing on the mountain, one could sense an extremely suppressive swordsmanship aura. It was as though this region was a sword domain and was being enveloped by invisible Sword Will.

It was a Sword Peak.

"This Sword Peak feels suppressive. It must have been left behind by a top figure," Beigong Ao said. Even with his cultivation Plane, it wasn’t easy to truly sense how the Sword Will on the Sword Peak was present and how powerful the Sword Will.

Before the Sword Peak were nine cultivation stone platforms. These stone platforms were connected to the Sword Peak. It seemed as though they, too, emanated the same Sword Will and were one with the Sword Peak. Some cultivators were sitting on top of these stone platforms, comprehending the Sword Will.

"Nine stone platforms," Ye Futian stated as he swept a glance over them. Each stone platform had a person seated on them. There were nine cultivators on them in total. They sat there, their minds elsewhere. The remaining cultivators were either standing guard beside them or looking upon them.

The figures of these nine cultivators released auras of the Great Path. Ye Futian could clearly sense it. All nine of them were different. The difference between them was even quite large. The strongest among them was an eighth-tier upper-level Renhuang. On the other hand, the weakest was a third-tier, but his temperament was extraordinary. He was guarded by cultivators following him. He must be from some extraordinary background to receive such treatment.

"Each stone cultivation platform contains a Sword Will," Ye Futian exclaimed. Emperor Helian and Beigong Ao looked at him. They were astonished that he could actually tell with just a glance.

"Rumor has it that this Sword Peak is a matrix that contains nine different Sword Wills. Each stone platform is engraved with one Sword Will and is connected to the Sword Peak. By sitting on them, one can sense the existence of the Sword Will and comprehend it. It is beneficial for the swordsmanship of cultivators," Beigong Ao explained to Ye Futian. Ye Futian was known as Sword Emperor Liunian. His swordsmanship was exceptional; Beigong Ao had witnessed it firsthand.

When Ye Futian attacked with his three Sword Wills, it was already a very frightening technique.

Ye Futian stepped forward. However, the nine stone platforms were already occupied by other people. There was no spot for him to cultivate. Even if he wanted to get onto one, he had to wait.

However, there were too many cultivators waiting here. They were all waiting for the opportunity to get on the stone platforms and cultivate. Ye Futian’s group couldn’t wait until their turn.

Ye Futian stood below the stone platforms. He gazed at the Sword Peak. His gaze suddenly became sinister and frightening, as though he could see through the Great Path. Immediately, a miraculous aura enveloped the endless space. It extended towards the Sword Peak. Very quickly, Ye Futian sensed a peculiar ley line. On top of the Sword Peak, there seemed to be nine ley lines.

These nine ley lines were perfectly merged, forming a sword. Right now, in Ye Futian’s eyes, this mountain was no longer a mountain, but instead a sword.

"Nine forms," Ye Futian mumbled to himself. His gaze turned towards the nine stone platforms again. He said in a low voice, "This is a sword technique that consists of nine forms that combine to become one sword. Their combined form is that Sword Peak."

"You have good eyes to be able to tell straight away," a swordsman exclaimed with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His arms were wrapped around his sword. He was clearly a swordsman. He smiled and looked at Ye Futian. However, his smile seemed somewhat bizarre.

"The nine stone platforms contain nine Sword Wills. These nine Sword Wills form the Sword Will of the Sword Peak. Everyone knows that," someone else said. The person’s gaze was still looking at the Sword Peak. He had calmly spoken, not looking at Ye Futian.

"Hmm," Ye Futian replied as he nodded his head gently. So that was it. He asked, "What is the name of this sword technique?"

"I am not sure," the person to the side replied. "In short, it is swordsmanship left behind by a mighty figure. It is just that for many years, it has been difficult to completely comprehend the nine Sword Wills on the stone platform. As for the Sword Peak, no one has managed to fully understand it to this day. That means to say no one has completely mastered this sword technique."

Ye Futian nodded his head slightly. He had also noticed that this sword technique was extraordinary. The sword contained within the Sword Peak was no ordinary sword.

Yet, the nine Sword Wills contained within the stone platforms were not that difficult to comprehend. Ye Futian could clearly sense the Sword Wills.

"Are these nine Sword Wills that difficult to comprehend?" Ye Futian pondered out loud in a low voice.

"Of course," another female Renhuang to the side answered. "The nine Sword Wills are all different. They are nine completely different swords. It is like learning nine different sword techniques. If one could sit on the stone platform and sense the Sword Will, it might be somewhat easier. However, it is too difficult to even comprehend a single Sword Will from down here."

She had just said this when her body suddenly released a brilliant light of swordsmanship that pierced the sky. When her Sword Will burst forth, the crowd could clearly sense a mighty current of swordsmanship flowing over her.

She had comprehended one of the Sword Wills. Many people around her looked towards the woman. They revealed looks of appraisal and astonishment.

"To be able to feel and comprehend a Sword Will from below a stone platform, her comprehension must be exceptional," someone praised. The swordsmanship aura on the woman flowed over her. It was brilliant beyond comparison. After some time, only did her Sword Will gradually recede. She glanced over at Ye Futian and asked, "First time here?"

Ye Futian nodded. He smiled and replied, "I arrived not long ago."

She looked at the people around Ye Futian. She immediately understood. He should be from a major force from some continent, but not one of the top forces like those on Eastern Deity Island. However, Ye Futian’s temperament was extraordinary. He was most likely from a prestigious family.

"From the looks of it, wanting to cultivate on the stone platforms will be impossible. You can focus on comprehending one Sword Will after getting on a stone platform to see whether you have a chance of succeeding. If you sense that it will be difficult, you may as well give up and try your luck elsewhere," the female Renhuang added when she saw that Ye Futian’s temperament was special. She then walked towards the back of another stone platform, preparing to comprehend another Sword Will.

"Many thanks," Ye Futian thanked the woman. The woman casually waved her hand. She did not mind and had simply reminded him. It was not worthy of Ye Futian’s thanks.

"Why don’t you snatch a stone platform to cultivate on? Then, the chances of you comprehending a Sword Will might be higher," another Renhuang said to the side with a smile. He seemed to have a mocking tone.

"There is no need," Ye Futian replied. "The Sword Wills of these nine stone platforms are clear as day and are not difficult to comprehend. I do not need to sit on the stone platforms to do so."

His words caused many Renhuangs to look over at him. The Renhuang to the side smiled and said, "Is that so? Why don’t you give it a try? I can’t wait to see it."

The female Renhuang, who had been speaking to Ye Futian, turned around and glanced at him. She warned, "Don’t be overconfident. There is more to the Sword Wills than meets the eye."

As she said this, she continued training.

"Haha, he might have extraordinary talent and superb comprehension and will be able to master the Sword Wills in an instant," a Renhuang mocked. However, this was just some teasing while they were not cultivating. There was no ill will to it.

It was just that they had all been cultivating here and hence knew the difficulty of comprehending the Sword Wills.

Some of the Sword Wills of the Sword Peak were comparatively easier to comprehend. Many people had managed to do so. Yet, there were also a few that were very difficult.

Ye Futian smiled and did not say anymore. He stepped forward, came to a spot facing the Sword Peak, and sat down. The spot was coincidentally at the center of the nine stone platforms.

He looked towards a stone platform. Aura of the Great Path emanated from him and enveloped the stone platform. In an instant, Sword Will circled and gathered around his body. Suddenly, currents of swordsmanship aura appeared around Ye Futian’s figure.

This attracted the gazes of many towards him. He was rather serious. Could it be that he actually believed that he could comprehend the Sword Wills from below the stone platforms in a short amount of time?

It was difficult for even the cultivators sitting on the stone platforms to do so.

Emperor Helian and the others also looked at Ye Futian. They were looking on in anticipation. For them, who knew about Ye Futian’s talent, they also wanted to see how terrifying his comprehension was now. How long would he need to acquire the Sword Wills that many cultivators could not?

The Sword Will on Ye Futian’s figure grew more and more powerful. Beams of sword light flowed over his entire body. They seemed to emit a humming sound of swords. Many people looked towards him. He was causing quite a commotion!
