Chapter 2722 - After Ten Years

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ten years had passed since the Gods' Continent first appeared, and the once-barren land had been completely transformed.

The passageway that linked other realms to this continent had also been opened for the same length of time, and cultivators from each realm had made their way over in troves. The enlargement of the continent also made it possible for countless more cultivators to be there.

At that time, Emperor-level cultivators had occupied the Ruins where the Heavenly Path Eight Legions had been previously and divided their respective territories using the Ruins as the center. For example, the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture used the Naga Ruins (1] as the center point of their

cultivation, while those from Devil World used the Ruins of the Karura.

Not only that, but the cultivators had also built imperial palaces within their respective regions. Many tall, imposing palaces stood on this ancient continent.

In addition, when the strongest forces from every realm occupied any ruins, they also started to construct their bases, resulting in the once-barren continent turning into a flourishing and vibrant area now. In particular, where the Eight Legions were situated, one could see numerous city walls and

moats; they were impressive in appearance and a stark contrast to how the place had been before.

The cultivators who came to the Gods' Continent were all pioneers, just that. This time around, the pioneers were all-powerful cultivators from every realm, and they could transform this piece of land in the fastest time possible.

The cultivators in the land were also undergoing continual transformations. It was not rare to see clouds of tribulation rolling above the skies in recent years. Previously, it was extremely rare to see cultivators passing through tribulations, but on this continent, it happened frequently. Some passed the

first tribulation, others the second, but no one gave the third.

The divine tribulations came in threes, and passing all three would make one a god on the Emperor-level. Yet even with all the changes taking place in the world today, it was still difficult to pass all three.

Of course, with cultivators from every realm training together on the same land, fights over the relics would still occur, and there would be clashes. Especially when cultivators from different realms clashed, a chain reaction would often occur, causing massive disturbances.

Fights and battles were happening all the time on this ancient continent. Conflicts of all kinds were never-ending, and some ended up victorious while others were thoroughly defeated. The survival of the fittest was constantly showcased.

In addition, even till now, there were still highly mysterious relics on this land that had yet had their mysteries cracked, attracting many cultivators to head there to probe. Alas, many extremely powerful cultivators ended up dying in those relics.

The especially dangerous relics were even termed "Forbidden Zone of the Gods" by the cultivators of the land.

No one knew what events had occurred before in those forbidden areas, but it was inevitable that there had to be beings on the Emperor level there in other forms. Otherwise, there was no reason they would be so dangerous as to cause many top-level cultivators to lose their lives there.

Ye Imperial Palace, which was previously the Ruins of the Mahoraga, had evolved into an impressive palace complex. Meanwhile, cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace came over continuously to train in this palace complex that encircled mountains, and many also went outside to explore.

'What's more, Ye Futian and company had also opened another linkway that linked to Ziwei Segmentum, allowing those from Ziwei Segmentum to come to this land to cultivate also. However, as they were not part of Ziwei Imperial Palace, they were not allowed to use the cultivation resources from Ye

Imperial Palace. Ye Futian only allowed them to visit the ancient continent like other cultivators from the other realms.

As for how far they could progress or how they would turn out, Ye Futian was not responsible for that. It was up to that person's destiny.

At the summit of Ye Imperial Palace, which was at the top of the sky stairwell at the edge of the palace complex, there was a Will of the Solemn. If you stood on the sky stairwell and lifted your head to look, you would involuntarily feel awed as if it was an actual imperial palace.

The divine sword and sword formation hidden within the sky also gave people a sense of pressure, looking majestic and divine.

Following the steps of the sky stairwell to the top, one would find the magnificent and imposing Imperial Palace there, while behind the palace, there was a massive training ground. In there, there sat a white-haired cultivator. Around his body, a jade-green divine light spun round and round. His whole

figure shone brightly and seemed as if the light and physical body were adjoined as one. The surrounding earthly will seemed to have been affected by him and fluctuated according to the divine light's movements.

Just by sitting there motionless, it felt as if he was the ruler of the world.

Ye Futian opened his eyes at that moment, and a jade-green divine light glinted and penetrated the vast area. He looked up above the skies. He was still unable to get past this stage. It seemed as if he had encountered a bottleneck.

He felt that the current him had cultivated until the highest level of a certain plane and was now at the doorstep of the demigod-level. Yet, he was unable to take the step into the door. Perhaps he still lacked understanding.

Besides, Ye Futian knew that his journey of cultivation had been different from the others' in some ways. Ever since he had achieved the pinnacle in the Renhuang plane, he had started to walk along a different path. How the third and final tribulation would be, he did not either.

His current cultivation level was still at the pinnacle in the Renhuang place. It differed from the powerful cultivators who had passed through tribulations, yet he had also passed through two.

"How can I take the step in?" Ye Futian murmured to himself. He was able to be at the doorstep of the demigod-level with the powers of the Divine Ruler and was also able to spar with near-deities. He vaguely felt that, if he were able to take that step, he would be able to be at the pinnacle of the demigod

level.

Once there, save those at the Emperor-level, there probably would not be anyone left who could compete against him anymore. Probably only Ji Wudao, Donghuang Diyuan, and those others at the demigod-level, or those comparable to the Great Skylords Black and White Almighty, would qualify to go up

against him.

He stood up and turned his head, only to see Hua Jieyu sitting against the wall, cultivating. A large beam of divine light surrounded her, and it was as if that place had become something special. Her aura was also out of the ordinary.

There was a divine stone floating in front of Hua Jieyu. It was among the hundred over stones that Ye Futian had gotten, and it was one of the more special ones. Due to its uniqueness, a lot of time was spent activating this stone.

On seeing Hu Jieyu engrossed in her cultivation, Ye Futian decided not to disturb her but turned around. With a move of his will, his body vanished from where he had been and appeared again outside the Heavenly Palace.

Ye Futian looked down at the lower skies. Divine consciousness enveloped the entire palace complex, and the activities of the cultivators all appeared in his sight.

These days, he practiced alchemy, activated the divine stones to aid other cultivators in learning divine techniques, was cleansed by the dragon's blood, and let others bathe in the dragon's blood. This was paired with an elixir, and they would perform closed-door cultivation afterward. It did not matter

whether they were from Ziwei Imperial Palace, West Imperial Palace, or the Lost Clan; all the cultivators underwent a complete transformation.

The important people in Ziwei Imperial Palace improved especially quickly. In recent years, that had been quite a few that had passed through tribulations and became powerful cultivators.

Just then, there was a flash at the sky stairwell below. It was Old Ma. He moved toward Ye Futian and bowed. "Your Highness."

Although they once had a close relationship, in the current Ziwei Imperial Palace, everyone highly respected Ye Futian. Despite being a junior, he had done so much for everyone that no one took his age into account anymore.

"You don't have to stand on ceremony, Uncle Ma," Ye Futian repled. Old Ma was still the protector of Ziwei Imperial Palace.

"How are things like in the outside world?" Ye Futian asked.

Ever since the chaos that had taken place then, he had not gone outside to court any more trouble after he had obtained the divine stones. They had already gotten plenty and were not greedy. What's more, the best inheritances had all been snatched up by those at the Emperor-level, and there was no way

he would incite a fight against them.

"It's a changing situation. Every day is different," Old Ma answered, "but the divine relics on the Gods' Continent have been more or less completely plundered. They have either been taken control of or inherited, except a few secret places known as the Forbidden Zone of the Gods. As they likely contain

extraordinary inheritances, many people desire to decipher them."

"Ah, I see." Ye Futian nodded and looked toward the distance. After not being able to get past the cultivation bottleneck these few years, perhaps it was time to go out and have a look around!
