Ye Futian was still sitting cross-legged, unmoving. But the leader of the Wu tribe, a Nirvana Plane cultivator, had disappeared just like that.
Above Sun Castle, the sun was right above Ye Futian's head. A huge face appeared in the sky. The cultivators of the Wu tribe looked up at the face, their hearts pounding.
That was the face of Emperor Kua.
Emperor Kua had modified the Ancestral Lands, which were actually left for the Nine Major Tribes. If they could inherit it, they would naturally have priority.
However, it was difficult for anyone in the Nine Major Tribes to pass Emperor Kua's test and open the gate to the Ancestral Lands.
Thus, the current scene occurred. Ye Futian had come to inherit, and the elder of the Wu Clan was greedy.
At that moment, the cultivators of the Wu tribe had complicated looks in their eyes. They were all top figures in the tribe and were extremely resilient. The tribe leader had his own thoughts on this matter, but from Ye Futian's point of view, since the Wu tribe leader had the intention to kill, he naturally had to eliminate the threat.
It was obviously not what they wanted for their cooperation to turn into such a situation.
Being able to open the Ancestral Land this time was a pleasant surprise. There was a chance to revive the Wu tribe, but greed was innate. Now that they were here, they wanted more.
At this moment, their lives were in Ye Futian's hands, let alone their revival.
Perhaps Ye Futian would come to silence them and eliminate them in one fell swoop.
At this time, Ye Futian looked at the cultivators of the Wu tribe. The atmosphere seemed a bit oppressive.
"The leader of the Wu tribe acted impulsively. When he was inheriting the Great Path in the relic, he was killed by Renhuang's Flame of the Way." A voice suddenly rang out. Ye Futian turned around and saw the person who had spoken. It was Wu Yong.
Wu Yong cupped his hands at Ye Futian and said, "Lord Ye opened the gate to the Ancestral Lands and is the successor of Emperor Kua. The Wu tribe will always be your friend."
The other warriors of the Wu tribe all looked at Wu Yong. This time, the warriors of the nine tribes who had entered the ruins were all top figures. Aside from the Patriarch, the rest were Elders. They were powerful, but there weren't many of them.
They naturally knew that Wu Yong was helping the Wu clan out of danger. If the clan leader could think of silencing him, then wouldn't he do the same when they were already enemies?
Just now, Ye Futian had decisively burned their clan leader to death.
Killing one was killing, killing ten was also killing.
"After we get out of here, we will announce to the nine tribes that the clan leader had been killed by the Renhuang Flames of the Way because of his impulsive actions," another cultivator chimed in. His desire to live was strong.
"Lord Ye, I can understand what just happened. You had no other choice. Everyone here is an elder of the tribe, and none of them are of the direct bloodline of the chief. As the Great Elder of the Wu clan, I can naturally suppress them." Wu Yong transmitted his voice to Ye Futian. "So, please rest assured, Lord Ye."
Ye Futian glanced at Wu Yong. His eyes seemed to contain the light of the divine fire.
"Boom!" The flames of the sun rained down from the sky, and a huge illusory figure appeared. It seemed to be the shadow of Emperor Kua.
He merged with the sun, and the flames fell from his body.
It enveloped Wu Yong in an instant.
The cultivators of the Wu tribe were shocked. Wu Yong's expression changed as well. He looked up at Ye Futian and shouted, "Lord Ye!"
Wu Yong's voice echoed in the air. He looked straight at Ye Futian as if to make his stance clear. He did not even try to hide.
The terrifying flames engulfed Wu Yong's body, and the hearts of many of the Wu clan's cultivators trembled violently.
However, Wu Yong still stood there without moving.
The terrifying scene that he had imagined did not happen. Wu Yong's body did not burn. The Flames of the Way surged into his body. Many wills of the great path flowed from the image of Emperor Kua in the sky and entered Wu Yong's mind.
At that moment, Wu Yong felt as if he was being baptized by the Great Path, the inheritance of Emperor Kua.
"If the Wu tribe's Patriarch had not acted, I would have given him the inheritance of the ancestral land. After all, this is the ancestral land of the nine tribes." The cultivators of the Wu clan felt like they were in a dream. They took a deep breath, and their expressions were complicated.
It turned out that Ye Futian, who had opened the door to the Ancestral Lands, was the one who truly had the right to decide who would inherit Emperor Kua's legacy. He could directly decide who would inherit the legacy of Emperor Kua.
In that case, the reason why the clans that came out of the ancestral land were so powerful was also because of this.
The Patriarch had died in vain.
He had died because of his own greed.
If he had not had any evil thoughts, Ye Futian would have helped him. But because Ye Futian had sensed that the Patriarch might have had other thoughts, Ye Futian had deliberately schemed against him and caused his death.
A Nirvana Plane cultivator had died such an unjust death.
They all sighed in their hearts. Why?
"You all saw what happened before. It was not my will. I will give the legacy of Emperor Kua to Senior Wu Yong. Whoever he wants to pass it on to is his own business. From now on, Senior Wu Yong will be the Wu tribe's Patriarch," Ye Futian said to the crowd.
Since Wu Yong was the Great Elder of the Wu tribe, and now that the legacy was in his hands, he would be able to better control the Wu tribe.
Wu Yong was stunned when he heard Ye Futian's words. The person next to him said, "The position of Patriarch should have been inherited by the Great Elder."
The others all spoke up. Wu Yong nodded and did not refuse. At a time like this, it was indeed necessary to make a decision.
The dazzling light of the flames flowed into Wu Yong's mind. It did not stop until a long time later. When Wu Yong opened his eyes, they seemed to have turned into flames. He bowed to Ye Futian and said, "Thank you, Lord Ye."
"Go and cultivate, Patriarch," said Ye Futian. He was already addressing Wu Yong as Patriarch.
"Very well." Wu Yong nodded and turned to leave. He walked up to the cultivators of the Wu tribe and said, "Let's go somewhere else to cultivate."
"Yes." Everyone followed Wu Yong and walked down the stairs. It was obvious that they did not want to disturb Ye Futian.
Ye Futian looked at Wu Yong and the others. It was up to Wu Yong how much of the legacy he wanted to pass on.
He closed his eyes and began to comprehend the Great Path.
At the top of Sun Castle, there was only him. He sat cross-legged under the sun. Above the sky, there was a huge figure.
This scene was extremely shocking to see from afar.
Endless will of the Great Path flowed down and descended upon Ye Futian. Apart from the path of Emperor Kua's legacy, the scene he saw became clearer and clearer.
It was the figure of Emperor Kua. It was as if the ruins had been formed by Emperor Kua.
His senses continued to spread out towards the ruins. The range of his senses became wider and wider. The fire of heaven and earth flowed towards him.
Apart from the inheritance of Emperor Kua in the Ancestral Lands, what else was hidden here?
It was said that no one had ever excavated it before. Otherwise, they would not have had anything to do with it.
He sensed it quietly and let his will spread.
Time passed. The people of the Wu tribe cultivated at the bottom of the stairs. Wu Yong's aura was the strongest.
Some of the others looked up at Ye Futian and saw that the sun in the sky was getting redder and redder. Red clouds flowed between heaven and earth. They were wondering if Ye Futian would be able to dig out the real legacy of Emperor Kua other than the inheritance.
That was, the secret of the Ancestral Lands.
Or perhaps the nine tribes had been wrong all these years. There was no secret of the Ancestral Lands. Emperor Kua had only left his legacy here, waiting for generations to come and inherit it.
It was unknown whether this trip would be a blessing or a curse for the Wu tribe.
"Boom!" Above Wu Yong's body, an even more powerful aura burst. Holy light covered his body, and a strange light shot up into the sky.
The cultivators of the Wu tribe revealed a look of surprise. Wu Yong's aura had climbed to the extreme of the Unblemished Plane.
Perhaps, in the near future, he would have a chance to break into the Nirvana Plane.
Outside the gate of the Ancestral Lands, no one had left. They were still waiting. No one knew what was happening inside. They could only imagine.
However, they could faintly feel that the will of the great path of fire between heaven and earth was surging towards the gate of the Ancestral Lands.
Another period of time passed.
At the top of Sun Castle, Ye Futian was still cultivating.
His will seemed to cover the entire ruins. The ruins turned into the figure of Emperor Kua. He could faintly feel an unusual aura from the sun above his head.
In the void space, there was an incomparably brilliant sphere within the flames of the sun. It spun slowly, and an unparalleled aura was hidden within it. Countless beams of light shot out from it and turned into the sun, spreading far and wide and covering the entire ruins.
"What is this?" A thought flashed through Ye Futian's mind. His will and perception floated out, wanting to penetrate inside. But as soon as his will got close, it turned into nothingness. He was unable to reach the depths of the sun.
A terrifying will surged out in a frenzy, merging into the will of Emperor Kua. It broke through the shackles and went deep into the core of the sun.
There, Ye Futian saw the brilliant sphere releasing flames in a frenzy. It spread throughout the ruins, as if the source of the flames of the Great Path was here.
At that moment, within Ye Futian's body, the World Tree Life Spirit, swayed. It seemed to have sensed something.
This made Ye Futian's heart tremble. This had happened when he had met Feixue.
Could it be that this thing was a treasure similar to the one within Feixue's body?
He thought of the way he had helped Feixue resolve it. Rustling sounds came from within his Life Palace, and wisps of the World Tree extended outwards.
At that moment, he merged the will of the emperor into his Life Spirit, causing the World Tree to release unparalleled light. It was like an Ancient Tree of the Sun, reaching out towards the sun.
An incredibly intense heat came. The World Tree Life Spirit, which had been merged with the will of the emperor, seemed to have been set on fire. However, the branches and leaves of the World Tree, which were bathed in flames, became even more dazzling. They devoured the flames around them bit by bit, and they even absorbed the flames on the brilliant sphere.
At that moment, the world suddenly changed. Within the sun in the sky, a terrifying vortex suddenly appeared. All the endless flames in the world headed towards the sun.
"What's going on?" Everyone at the bottom of the stairs looked up into the sky. They saw the wind and clouds in the sky change. All the flames in the world flowed in a frenzy towards one direction.
At the top of Sun Castle, that brilliant sun.
At that moment, the sun had turned into a solar black hole, devouring everything.
In just a moment, the world went dark!
