Chapter 2530: Looted and Left

The Raindrop Divine Matrix was an important killing formation of the West Imperial Palace. It was very powerful. Those powerhouses were all hesitating after arrival. They did not have the nerve to rush in recklessly.

“The celestial mountain of the Ancient Emperor is an inheritance from ancient times. Does the West Imperial Palace intend to have it to all yourselves by locking this place down?” said one of the powerful cultivators in a reproaching tone. His voice carried across the sea.

However, there was no response from the Raindrop Divine Matrix.

The rain kept falling. It was the rain of killing.

The West Sea Domain was the territory of the West Imperial Palace. Even though there was a Domain Chief’s Manor, the West Imperial Palace remained the most powerful force. The historical and cultural heritage of the Ancient God Clan was not something the Domain Chief’s Manor could compete with.

Bang… They knew talking would not help. Exerting the powerful force of the Great Path of Destruction, they launched attacks against the Raindrop Divine Matrix. However, the attacks of the Great Path were frustrated and cracked as soon as they got into the Raindrop Divine Matrix.

“Who is here leading the West Imperial Palace?” An intimidating voice spoke at this moment. A formidable thrusting thunder struck across the air and turned into a divine light of Thunder Punishment with the dreadful force of the divine retribution.

It was suddenly very dark everywhere. Over the sea, a destructive disaster seemed to be about to occur.

Many powerhouses looked up at the sky. It was a strong cultivator from the Yuanshi Palace of the Yuanshi Domain, a force of the Ancient God Clan that came to visit the West Sea Domain.

Several forces of the Ancient God Clan showed up one after another in different directions. They surrounded the Raindrop Divine Matrix with a dreadful might powerful enough to destroy the world.

Except for the Donghuang Imperial Palace, the Ancient God Clan was the most powerful force in the Divine Prefecture. Forces as powerful as they were might be more eager for top alchemy methods and elixirs than for some inheritances of the Great Emperor. After all, the Ancient God Clan already had the most suitable Emperor-level inheritances for themselves. And the Way of Alchemy might make them go farther and become the number one force below the Donghuang Imperial Palace.

There were no top alchemy forces in the Divine Prefecture at the moment, but there were top forging forces.

The Tianyan City located in the Tianyan Domain was also a force of the Ancient God Clan. They were in an unshakable paramount position in the Divine Prefecture. The Lord of the Tianyan City was a very pushy and bossy man. He once had the Heavenly Mandate Academy razed by lifting a hand of his.

By then, the legendary inheritance of the Elixir Emperor from ancient times had shown up. Of course, he would compete for it.

Again, no response came from the Raindrop Divine Matrix.

“Well, we won’t show any mercy then.” A cold voice came from the sky again. The force of Divine Retribution descended into the Divine Matrix. The other powerhouses also acted, launching attacks against the Raindrop Divine Matrix deployed by their peers from the West Imperial Palace, to whom they were overwhelmingly superior in number.

Above the celestial mountain, rich Worldly Spiritual Qi shrouded the entire island.

Despite the countless celestial herbs and divine trees there, Ye Futian was sitting cross-legged in front of a few leaves of grass. Xi Chiyao was standing behind, not far away from him. She did not want to disturb him.

Ye Futian proved his ability to decode relics a long time ago. He could be said to be a relic killer. And she was inferior to him in all aspects. Therefore, Xi Chiyao certainly did not think she could replace out the secret of the celestial mountain before he did.

She knew what she could achieve and what she could not. She knew herself well, and she also knew Ye Futian well. So, she decided to be simply an onlooker, and she ordered her men to deploy the Divine Matrix so that no one would disturb Ye Futian. That would win him some time. He had a good chance to disclose the mystery of the celestial mountain before powerful cultivators from the Outer Realms intruded into here.

With his eyes closed, Ye Futian was in ultimate serenity. He was one hundred percent focused. He perceived the stirring of the grass in a gentle breeze. Those leaves of grass seemed very fragile; it was as if they were just some weeds.

However, Ye Futian had sensed earlier that those grass leaves were the ones with the most powerful soul on the celestial mountain. If he had not been so sensitive or entered the state of meditative consciousness through the Buddhist doctrine, he would not have even perceived the soul.

Besides, there were no other plants around the grasses, as if this was their territory and nothing had the nerve to compete against them. They were like kings in solitude.

That made Ye Futian wonder: is it really just grass?

In a state in which he totally forgot himself, Ye Futian was feeling the grass, trying to connect to the soul. However, except for a mysterious feeling, he had no replaceing at all. The grass leaves were stirring quietly in the breeze as if they were just growing here like other plants, and there was nothing unusual.

He used his perception, the divine consciousness, and eyes, but he still could not detect anything unusual.

However, Ye Futian did not believe he had made a mistake. The more so, the more extraordinary those grass leaves could be.

Ye Futian did not give up. An aura of the great way spread from his body and toward the grass, trying to merge with them.

But it still did not work.

Ye Futian could sense the existence of that soul, but he vaguely felt it had not been completely awake yet, that it was still in sleep, and he was supposed to wake it up.

The branches and leaves of an ancient tree showed up on the ground and extended to the grass. Ye Futian seemed to have transformed into a tree, and he was growing with it.

Soon, the tree took root. Its new branches and leaves surrounded the grass as if they had turned into one. The aura of life and the Will of the Great Way kept flowing into them to nourish them and help them grow.

The ancient tree of the world could hold anything in the world. He wanted to try whether that could work.

“What a wonderful aura.”

Xi Chiyao sensed the aura in Ye Futian. The force of the Great Way was incredibly flawless.

In the Outer Realms, the Raindrop Divine Matrix was shaken. The battle in the air seemed to have affected it. Xi Chiyao frowned. It seemed the enemy was attacking fiercely. She looked up at the sky, thinking it would not take long for the enemy to crack the Raindrop Divine Matrix.

Ye Futian would not be able to stay in such a state if he was disturbed. Then all of the efforts they had made would be wasted.

“Stall them,” said Xi Chiyao to the air, looking up. She knew the powerful cultivators of the West Imperial Palace could hear her and would try to buy Ye Futian more time.

Those grass leaves were wreathed in some celestial lights soon. They seemed to be growing. Green luminous dots blossomed, and the grass leaves were growing taller and bigger.

“That’s a powerful soul.” Even Xi Chiyao perceived it at the moment. The growing grass leaves seemed psychic. They had a powerful soul.

And Ye Futian was trying to wake the soul up.

Could the herb even have intelligence?

The Light of Buddha was shining vaguely on Ye Futian, who was reciting the Buddhist Sutra. The Sanskrit recital lingered in the air. The sound of it made Xi Chiyao feel like everything was growing as if the earth was waking up, and everything was full of life.

The grass leaves kept stirring. As they grew taller, it seemed easier for the wind to break them, but that was not the case. Lights sparkled. Xi Chiyao sensed that soul had grown more powerful.

The lights were even gathering, and it seemed to be a human that they were turning into.

“Oh, right…”

Xi Chiyao was stirred. She realized Ye Futian had found the right thing indeed. Those grass leaves were turning into a human.

What did that mean?

“Legend has it that the Ancient Emperor transformed into an elixir after his collapse and was taken away by his inheritor.” Xi Chiyao heard a voice in her mind.

Could that be…

She looked at Ye Futian with her pretty eyes and saw him staying still. The human shadow was taking shape. It looked like a celestial being that was pleasing to the eyes. A mere glance at him would give people a comfortable feeling.

The shadow showed up on the grass, seemingly looking at Ye Futian.

“Senior, nice to meet you. My name is Ye Futian,” said Ye Futian with his eyes open, bowing to the shadow.

“What a surprise. Someone woke up the wisp of will I left in the world,” murmured the shadow. Then he asked, “What year is it?”

“Ten thousandth year and a bit of the Divine Prefecture Calendar,” answered Ye Futian. He supposed the shadow knew nothing about the calendar.

“The Divine Prefecture Calendar… Where is the Divine Prefecture…” said the shadow in a low voice. It let out a sigh. “Ten thousandth year and a bit of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, I suppose my successor is already dead.”

Ye Futian did not say anything. He would not know, but he supposed it was true. If the legend was actually what happened, that the celestial mountain had been looted, no treasures would be left.

Maybe the only thing that survived was a medicine garden, which was the whole mountain, and the later generations sealed it up here.

However, Ye Futian woke up the wisp of will of the Ancient Emperor this day.

“Are you also an Alchemy Master?” the shadow asked Ye Futian.

“Yep.” Ye Futian nodded.

“Well, now that you woke me up, you must have something extraordinary.” The voice came from the shadow again. Then it turned into numerous luminous dots and flew to Ye Futian and then into his brow chakra.

Xi Chiyao was quite emotional to see all that. The ancient imperial celestial mountain was nothing similar to the one she had imagined. There were no divine treasures, no treasure troves or valuable elixir recipes or gorgeous alchemy methods. The only thing here was grass. However, in those grass leaves remained the wisp of will of the Ancient Emperor. If it were not Ye Futian here, would it have been woken up?

Soon, the luminous dots disappeared. Those grasses withered quickly. Even the rare herbs over the whole celestial mountain started to wither.

Boom… The shaking continued in the air. The Raindrop Divine Matrix was on the verge of collapsing.

“Collect the Spirit Herbs,” said Xi Chiyao. Ye Futian got to his feet and shifted his consciousness. Dreadful blares instantly came. The entire celestial mountain was shaking. Countless herbs and trees were sent into the air. He leaped into the air and waved his sleeve, where those herbs and trees all instantly flew into.

Xi Chiyao was doing the same. They were like two bandits looting the place greedily.

Finally, a blare came. The Raindrop Divine Matrix was destroyed. Those powerful cultivators charged down and saw Ye Futian and Xi Chiyao looting like crazy.

“Get going.” A voice came. They certainly would not miss such an opportunity. They started to loot, too. However, Ye Futian and Xi Chiyao had plundered more than half of the mountain before they started.

“Take him down,” said someone, staring at Ye Futian.

“Goddess Chiyao, see you,” said Ye Futian. Then he disappeared.

No one had the nerve to attack Xi Chiyao in the West Sea Domain, but he should not linger here longer. He had got what he wanted, and he had better leave immediately before anything else came up.

“He is gone!”

Seeing Ye Futian disappear, those cultivators put on a terrible look.

“B*stard,” cursed in anger someone from the West Imperial Palace. Ye Futian left?

So, they were doing everything for his sake?

Many people even looked at Xi Chiyao unhappily, as it was her order.
