After Ye Futian returned to the Cottage Villa, he began to cultivate in isolation. The moment he decided to give up in Dali Imperial City, his state of mind had changed.
After that, the Imperial Advisor and Deepflame saw him off and sent him to the Nine States. Ye Futian's mind was open, and his understanding of heaven and earth deepened. His heart seemed to be showing signs of a breakthrough, so he felt that he was not far from the Saint Plane.
Perhaps it was because he had not been at the pinnacle of the Sage Plane for long, and his plane was not stable enough, so he could not break through in one go.
Everyone's understanding of breaking through to the Saint Plane was different. The ways of the world were different, but they all led to the Great Path.
Days passed, and in the blink of an eye, several months had passed.
At the back of the mountain in the villa, a white-haired figure sat cross-legged. A mysterious aura flowed on his body, and his whole body faintly glowed with divine light.
At this time, Ye Futian's eyes were closed. He only felt that his will was wandering between heaven and earth, and there was a faint feeling of traveling in the void. It was as if his will had become one with heaven and earth.
Around his body, wisps of will flowed. Behind him, there were several people looking at Ye Futian.
Yaya and Glass Saint were there.
At that moment, Ye Futian's entire being was shrouded in divine light. Yaya and the Glass Saint could even clearly sense that Ye Futian's will existed between heaven and earth, and it was touching with their own will. It was a very mystical feeling, and only cultivators of the Saint Plane could have such a mystical feeling.
Yaya and Glass Saint both knew that Ye Futian was getting closer and closer to the Saint Plane. He only needed to wait for his plane to stabilize and reach the true peak. When his will was clear, that would be the day he would break through.
In the beginning, the Sword Saint knew that he was about to break through, because if a cultivator could successfully break through, some people could have this kind of feeling.
Ye Futian was the same. He already had this feeling, which meant that the distance between him and the Saint Plane was no longer a chasm, and no longer a barrier. It was just a thought away.
Back then, Wang Chuan also knew that he was only one step away from the Saint Plane. It was not a step away from the plane, but a step away from the state of mind, so he used the battle with Ye Futian to break into the Saint Plane.
The Sword Saint also looked at where Ye Futian was cultivating from afar. beside him stood Gu Dongliu, Zhuge Mingyue, and the others.
"Little Junior Brother is not far from the Saint Realm. He might be able to break through in the near future." Gu Dongliu smiled and said, "Little brother is about to make a breakthrough before me. It seems that this trip to the Dali Dynasty has greatly improved little brother's state of mind."
"Right." The Sword Saint nodded. They had learned a little about what happened in Dali Dynasty.
…
While Ye Futian was training, the sky above the Xiao clan's residence changed color. Terrifying clouds of catastrophe gathered.
In the Xiao Mansion, countless people raised their heads to look at the sky. Their hearts trembled violently.
"Who's breaking through?"
Countless people were puzzled. This was the Divine Catastrophe.
Did anyone in the Xiao clan's mansion break through to the Saint Plane recently?
The figures of the elders flashed and their wills swept out. Then, they looked in a certain direction.
That was the courtyard in the Xiao clan's estate that had almost been forgotten. Very few people paid attention to it.
Xiao Sheng, who had once been the number one genius among the younger generation of the Xiao clan and one of the few top-notch geniuses below Saint Plane in Emperor Xia's Realm, who had been groomed as the successor of the Xiao clan, lived there.
But now, things had happened one after another, causing Xiao Sheng's status in the Xiao clan to plummet. Many people gradually began to forget this genius below Saint Plane, thinking that his future was probably ruined. The royal palace had a problem with him, and the clan no longer focused on training him. His state of mind had been damaged, and his path of cultivation had been blocked.
However, just as Xiao Sheng was about to be forgotten, the Divine Catastrophe came.
Xiao Sheng was actually breaking through to the Saint Plane.
This …
Everyone in the Xiao clan's manor was alarmed. Even Old Man Xiao stepped into the air at that moment, looking at where Xiao Sheng was. He saw the light of catastrophe gathering in the sky and raining down on where Xiao Sheng was. Violent rumbles were heard, as if doomsday had come.
Xiao Qianhe's body flashed and came to Old Man Xiao's side. He also looked there, and his heart was stirred.
Xiao Sheng had actually broken through to the Saint Plane under such circumstances.
"His state of mind should have been damaged, but he still managed to break through. What happened to him?" Old Man Xiao sighed. Xiao Sheng was one of the successors he had chosen all those years ago, and there was no way he would not dote on him. In reality, he had been highly regarded, and he had been prepared to send him to Emperor Xia's Palace to train beside Xia Qingyuan.
"He must have had a hard time recently." At that moment, Old Man Xiao felt pity for him.
Xia Qingyuan was Xiao Sheng's cousin, but Ye Futian had grounded him, and without any evidence, Xiao Sheng's freedom had almost been cut off.
Furthermore, the clan's attitude toward Xiao Sheng during this time meant that he must have gone through a very dark time.
However, Xiao Sheng had broken through to the Saint Plane under such circumstances, which made it all the more precious.
Perhaps the clan had been too harsh on him?
What happened to Ye Futian had nothing to do with him.
The violent Divine Catastrophe continued to fall, and every single light of catastrophe seemed to be attacking the hearts of the people of the Xiao clan.
"Qianhe, do you think we should give Xiao Sheng another chance?" Old Man Xiao asked.
Xiao Qianhe was stunned. He knew that Xiao Sheng had something to do with that incident, but Xiao Sheng was still his son. As such, when Old Man Xiao said what he said, he was obviously moved.
If the old man was willing to step forward, there would still be a chance to turn things around.
Xiao Sheng might still have a chance to rise again.
Queen Xiao was Xia Qingyuan's biological mother, and the old man was her biological father.
If the old man was willing to step forward, then his sister would have to give her father face no matter what.
Even Emperor Xia would have to give face to his father-in-law.
As long as there was no proof that Xiao Sheng had anything to do with this incident, then it would be fine. Xiao Sheng would still have a chance to rise again.
"If you are willing to give Xiao Sheng another chance, I believe he will take it," Xiao Qianhe said.
Old Man Xiao did not say anything. He turned his eyes to where Xiao Sheng lived. The Divine Catastrophe continued to fall, and after a while, the light of catastrophe gradually dissipated until it disappeared.
Many silhouettes flashed and arrived. Old Man Xiao arrived in the air and looked in that direction. He saw that in the ruined courtyard, Xiao Sheng's body was flowing with divine light. He had undergone the baptism of the Divine Tribulation and completed his transformation.
"Xiao Sheng, to be able to break the shackles of the state of mind and enter the Divine Path is very commendable. After becoming a Saint, you will be able to serve His Majesty. I am willing to ask the Queen to let you enter the army to train. What do you think?" Old Man Xiao asked.
Xiao Sheng looked at Old Man Xiao and said, "Grandfather, please make the decision."
"Yes." Old Man Xiao nodded and said, "Do you have any wishes or anything that you would like the clan to do for you?"
Xiao Sheng turned his eyes and shook his head. "No."
Cultivation, cultivation, in the end, was still about cultivation itself. In the past, he had pursued fame and wealth, power and status. He wanted to be valued by others, to be valued by Xia Qingyuan, but in reality, he had been putting the cart before the horse.
In the end, he had gotten nothing.
Now, he did not care about the clan, power, or even what Xia Qingyuan thought of him.
As for Ye Futian, he would fight him for real in the future.
"Very well." Old Man Xiao nodded in satisfaction. Being able to enter the Divine Path had already proved something. Xiao Sheng had seen through it.
He was prepared to let Xiao Sheng leave the center of power in Emperor Xia's Realm. That way, there would be less trouble, and perhaps it would allow him to cultivate more purely.
One day, the Xiao clan might be able to produce a top-notch figure.
By doing so, he was giving Xiao Sheng a chance. He hoped that he would not let the Xiao clan down.
…
The news that Xiao Sheng had become a Saint caused quite a stir. Later, there was news that Old Man Xiao had personally gone to the palace and met with Queen Xiao.
The Queen had agreed to let Xiao Sheng enter the army to train. This news made many people sigh. It seemed that Xiao Sheng had broken into the Divine Path and had seized an opportunity for himself.
If he was truly outstanding enough, he might be able to return here in the future and once again stand at the center of the Xiao clan. He might even be able to rescind the punishment of not being allowed to enter the palace.
After the matter was settled, the Xiao clan sent Xiao Sheng off and prepared to send him off.
On this day, many affiliated forces of the Xiao clan came to visit. Divine Cloud Valley and other forces that were on good terms with the Xiao clan also came to see Xiao Sheng off.
On this day, in the Xiao clan's residence, while the Xiao clan did not deliberately invite them, there were still many guests who came of their own volition. From Old Man Xiao entering the palace and Queen Xiao allowing Xiao Sheng to join the army, there seemed to be some kind of signal. Xiao Sheng had regained the trust of the Xiao clan, and Queen Xiao was willing to give him a chance.
As such, there were naturally people who were willing to come.
Xia Qingyuan stood on top of a palace in the princess' residence in Emperor Xia's Palace, looking into the distance.
A gust of wind blew past, causing her clothes to flutter. She stood there like a statue, sighing inwardly.
Based on what she knew of Ye Futian, he would not let this go.
That day, he had said that he would do whatever it was inconvenient for the princess to do.
Now, the Xiao clan was sending Xiao Sheng off, and there was no way he would not be there.
"To the Xiao clan," Xia Qingyuan said as she stepped out.
At the same time, Ye Futian, who was training in the Cottage Villa, opened his eyes. Divine light flowed all over his body. While he was still not a saint, he was very close.
He stood up and turned around. Many people were there, looking at him.
The news of Xiao Sheng becoming a saint and the Xiao clan sending him off and preparing to send him off naturally came to the Villa.
Ye Futian raised his head and looked into the distance.
Had he become a saint?
Could he erase everything he had done before just because he had become a saint?
He stepped out, and his white hair billowed in the air. There was no emotion in his deep eyes, and a cold voice was heard from his mouth.
"Go to the Xiao clan and see Xiao Sheng off!"
