    In the year 10050 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, the Peni Continent had returned to its original calm.


    It had been several years since the storm of events back then. Now, the Peni Continent’s Shangguan n had risen rapidly. Since the battle back then, the rivals of the Shangguan n, Jun n, and Yun n, had been eliminated. On the other hand, the Shangguan n became more powerful and had even closer ties with Eastern Deity Ind.


    Rumor had it that the Shangguan n regrly paid a visit to Eastern Deity Ind, and they had mutual exchanges. Rumor also has it that Eastern Deity Ind supplied the Shangguan n with many elixirs of the Great Path.


    After that battle, the Shangguan n seemed to have won the lottery. Many of their Renhuangs broke through to the next ne one after another. They had many more eighth-tier cultivators and were constantly growing even stronger. They had no equals in the Peni Continent.


    However, some rumors imed that the Shangguan n had already allied with Eastern Deity Ind and represented Peni Continent. No one knew the exact details, and they had no proof. No one knew what was the exact rtionship between Eastern Deity Ind and the Shangguan n either. They only knew that Eastern Deity Ind kept an extremely low profile. It was as though they had cut off ties with the outside world.


    Many people did not understand why Eastern Deity Ind was acting this way. They had already proven their might a few years ago. Why did they still need to keep such a low profile and act reserved?


    Right now, on the calm and peaceful Eastern Deity Ind, the father-daughterbo of the Shangguan n, Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Qiuye, brought many people to visit. They were waiting quietly in the courtyard of a pce. People were keeping thempany as their group quietly waited while sipping tea.


    “How long does Little Friend Ye still want to cultivate?” Shangguan Hong asked. There were rumors in the outside world that he had close ties with Eastern Deity Ind. In reality, it was not so. Although he had visited Eastern Deity Ind regrly, he hade to find Ye Futian every time. With Ye Futian’s acquaintance with Shangguan Qiuye back then and having cooperated before, the Shangguan n grew closer with Ye Futian. Naturally, it was easier for them to approach each other.


    Shangguan Hong was also aware that Ye Futian might have an extraordinary position on Eastern Deity Ind.


    As long as Shangguan Hong maintained a good rtionship with Ye Futian, that would be enough.


    Moreover, these past few years, Shangguan Hong discovered that Ye Futian was actually proficient in concocting pills. His ability to refine pills also improved suddenly by leaps and bounds, bing more powerful each time he visited. Every time Shangguan Hong visited Eastern Deity Ind, he would discover Ye Futian’s astonishing improvement in his attainments in refining pills. Thest time Shangguan Hong visited, the pills Ye Futian concocted were already very close to perfection. They could even affect upper-level Renhuangs.


    Such frightening talent left Shangguan Hong in awe. He had also obtained many pills from Ye Futian to bring back to his n.


    “I am not sure,” answered Beigong Ao, the person in charge of weing Shangguan Hong. He shook his head and said, “He has been in seclusion for a period of time and has not emerged since. You might havee at the wrong time. Why don’t you return first ande again some other time?”


    When Shangguan Hong heard Beigong Ao say this, he secretly thought to himself. It seemed as though this trip had been for naught. However, he was not here for important matters. He had juste to visit Ye Futian and to strengthen their rtionship. Shangguan Hong felt that one day, Ye Futian would certainly be the top figure of the Peni Continent.


    Of course, Shangguan Hong’s prediction was based on the premise that Ye Futian had stayed in the Peni Continent. This continent was merely one of the many continents of the Divine Prefecture. It might not be able to keep Ye Futian here.


    “Alright. I wille to visit him some other time.” Shangguan Hong nodded slightly in agreement with Beigong Ao’s proposal. He said to Shangguan Qiuye, “Let’s head home.”


    Shangguan Qiuye cast a nce in the direction of the pce. In the past, sometimes Beigong Ao would go to inform Ye Futian about their arrival. However, he didn’t do so this time. It seemed like Ye Futian was very serious about his seclusion this time. He had most likely ordered Beigong Ao beforehand not to let anything disturb him. Hence, Shangguan Qiuye’s father had decided to stop waiting and leave.


    “Be careful on your way back.” Beigong Ao personally showed them the way out. After all, Shangguan Hong’s position, as the leader of the Shangguan n, was very high. For Shangguan Hong to havee to visit Ye Futian personally, the former must have regarded Ye Futian highly as well. Shangguan Hong would most likely not even notice Beigong Ao if it wasn’t for Ye Futian. From this, one could tell that Ye Futian was really full of potential. Even a powerful ninth-tier Renhuang was willing toe over to meet him.


    Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Qiuye were on their way out when suddenly, they seemed to have sensed something. They stopped in their tracks.


    Shangguan Hong was the first to react. His gaze instantly shifted and looked in the direction of the pce. Shangguan Qiuye and the rest followed suit.


    A brilliant rainbow pierced through the heavens. An overbearing power of the Great Path enveloped the sky. Various types of auras of the Great Path coalesced. This aura of the Great Path appeared to be at the wless level.


    “This is...” Shangguan Hong said with a twinkle in his eyes. It was a wless level aura of the Great Path. Someone was breaking through to the next ne on Eastern Deity Ind in the pce. Who else could it be?


    “wless level,” Shangguan Hong mumbled. Before this, Ye Futian’s cultivation was already at the peak of the lower-level Renhuang ne when he was a third-tier Renhuang. If he broke through to the next ne now, his cultivation would be at the middle-level Renhuang ne.


    The divide between the lower-level Renhuang ne and the middle-level Renhuang ne was a pit. Many people had wless Divine Wheels of the Great Path when they were at the lower-level Renhuang ne. However, they were unable to continue maintaining their wless Divine Wheels at the middle-level Renhuang ne. Would Ye Futian be able to do so then?


    If Ye Futian still had a wless Divine Wheel of the Great Path, hisbat ability would be able to threaten a seventh-tier cultivator. In addition to his various other trump cards, his ability would be terrifying.


    Shangguan Qiuye simrly felt her heart tremble. The difference between her ne and Ye Futian’s was not veryrge. Hence, the impact was greater on her. The aura of the Great Path generated as Ye Futian was breaking through to the next ne made her feel ashamed of herself.


    Her beautiful eyes stared in that direction. Colorful lights rained down from the sky. The colorful rainbow lights were like heavenly signs. The humming of swords, the sound of guqins, the thundering of divine elephants stampeding, celestial bodies appearing in the sky, and the illusory image of an ancient tree filled the vast space.


    These were heavenly signs. Many people gazed in awe. This scene was a wonder to behold. It was beautiful and seemed to make people forget that someone was breaking through to the next ne.


    The resonating sound of the Great Path could be heard. In the distance, people kept heading over in this direction. Many cultivators on Eastern Deity Ind were drawn over. They stepped into the air and gathered outside the pce. They stopped and looked toward the direction of the strange scene.


    It was a wless level aura. Many people were astonished. A middle-level Renhuang managed to maintain a wless Divine Wheel of the Great Path. Such talent was rare.


    Bai Mu also appeared. She stood in the air, and her heart was moved. She felt that calling her a goddess seemed like a bit of a misnomer. Compared to Ye Futian, she was far inferior.


    “Incredible,” many alchemy masters cried out in astonishment as they walked out.


    “This fellow puts us to shame when ites to concocting pills. Now, even his cultivation is so wless. How can old fellows like us go on?” someone said.


    “Don’t unt your seniority. Years ago, that fellow killed seventh-tier cultivators like ants. Now, with his breakthrough, even an eighth-tier like yourself might be no match for him,” someone said beside the person who had spoken. The old fellow was so angry that his nostrils red, and he red at the other person. However, he could not say anything. He clearly knew that what the other person had said was true. He had no words to counter him.


    After breaking through to the middle-level Renhuang ne while maintaining a wless Divine Wheel of the Great Path, how powerful would Ye Futian’sbat ability be now?


    Seventh-tier cultivators were no longer worth Ye Futian’s consideration unless they were also monstrous figures who forged wless Divine Wheels of the Great Path. Otherwise, seventh-tier cultivators without wless Divine Wheels would only be killed instantly by him.


    The brilliant light remained as the Great Path resonated. Strange phenomenon shone, and Ye Futian sat cross-legged among them. He wasprehending the Great Path and absorbing the power of the Great Path. He had entered a state of ecstasy. His soul wandered out from his body and sensed everything around him.


    Rumbling sounds could be heard constantly,ing from his body. It was a baptism of the Great Path that continued to temper his Renhuang figure.


    At that moment, an overbearing aura descended from the sky. Many people saluted with their fists as they looked over in the direction of the aura. They wanted to call out to the person who had arrived, but the other party extended her hand, signaling them to remain silent. The figure then waved her hand and said, “Don’t let this matter be known. Stand down and let him continue cultivating.”


    This voice rang in everyone’s eardrums, causing the crowd to be stunned. However, they still nodded their heads and did as they were told. They left the ce one by one. No one dared to disturb Ye Futian’s cultivation.


    Eastern Deity Ind Ind Lord nced at Ye Futian. Her figure gradually disappeared, but her will still lingered, watching over everything.


    The rumbling of the Great Path continued without end, persisting for a few days. The entire Eastern Deity Ind was stirred up by this incident, but no one disturbed Ye Futian as he broke through to the next ne. They merely observed everything that urred quietly, watching over him. It was as though Ye Futian’s breakthrough was the most anticipated and most important day for Eastern Deity Ind.


    That day, a majestic aura of the Great Path frenziedly erupted. It surged into Ye Futian’s body. Ye Futian sat there. It was as though he was experiencing a mighty baptism of the Great Path. The rumbling from inside his body made it seem as though the sky was about to explode.


    Buzz. An extremely brilliant colorful light radiated from his figure and swept out across the space. It spread out far into the distance. At that moment, cultivators across the entire Eastern Deity Ind saw a resplendent light of the Great Path. They knew that Ye Futian had broken through to the next ne.


    When they lifted their heads and looked over in that direction, they saw Ye Futian’s body floating in the sky above. His temperament was even more outstanding. His dazzling, handsome gaze was full of vigor. After breaking through to the next ne, Ye Futian seemed as divine as a deity!
