Qingzhou Academy was the holy land of Qingzhou City. It occupied a vast area and was built against the mountains with Mount Tianyao at its back. In Qingzhou Academy, even the outer sect disciples had their own individual courtyards.
Ye Futian returned to the area where the outer sect disciples lived. In his own courtyard, Yu Sheng followed him quietly.
"Yu Sheng, I'm going to give up," Ye Futian stopped and said in a low voice.
"Even if you're not a Mandate Sorcerer, you're still a genius." Yu Sheng looked at the young man in front of him. Everyone thought it was a joke when Ye Futian said he was a Mandate Sorcerer. Only Yu Sheng knew that it was not funny.
Ye Futian was indeed a Mandate Sorcerer.
"Of course I understand. I just don't want to give up." Ye Futian smiled bitterly. "It's been three years. If this continues, I'll really be left behind by you. Looks like I'll have to work harder."
"Let's go and start cultivating." Ye Futian looked back at the young man who was a head taller than him. Yu Sheng was bigger than the average person and naturally had a strong aura.
The two of them walked to the cultivation area in the courtyard. Ye Futian sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. In an instant, a dazzling airflow flowed around his body. The Spiritual Qi in the area seemed to go crazy, rushing towards Ye Futian's body. Yu Sheng sat behind him and watched the scene quietly. At that moment, Ye Futian was like a terrifying whirlpool, swallowing up all the Spiritual Qi. If anyone else had seen this, they would have been shocked.
The terrifying airflow flowed through Ye Futian's body and towards a certain place in his mind. That was his Life Palace.
The Life Palace had a soul. It was called the Life Spirit and could be called a Mandate Cultivator.
At this time, in Ye Futian's Life Palace, there was a towering ancient tree with lush green leaves. The surroundings were barren. When the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth rushed in, the ancient tree greedily absorbed all the Spiritual Qi. The green leaves rustled and moved even though there was no wind.
Under the ancient tree, an illusory figure formed. It was Ye Futian. He looked at the ancient tree and said in a low voice, "After absorbing Spiritual Qi for three years, there's still no change. All it knows is to take. If that's the case, I won't pour Spiritual Qi in anymore from now on."
With that, Ye Futian's consciousness disappeared. The Spiritual Qi that flowed into his body flowed toward his limbs and bones, no longer flowing into his Life Palace.
The powerful Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth washed over Ye Futian's body as he prepared to refine his physique. However, at that moment, something strange happened. A strong suction force came and in an instant, the Spiritual Qi flowed backward and once again flowed towards the Life Palace in a frenzy.
This sudden change caused Ye Futian's body to tremble. Then, he felt a strong sense of displeasure. For the past three years, he had sent all his Spiritual Qi into his Life Palace, but there had been no change at all. Now, they wanted to forcefully take it and stop him from cultivating?
Thinking of this, Ye Futian wanted to fight back. However, the overbearing power ignored everything and sucked in all the Spiritual Qi in the area. Even the essence in Ye Futian's body was sucked out. In just a short moment, his face became much paler.
"Bastard." Ye Futian cursed. As the Spiritual Qi flowed into his Life Palace, he felt his head tremble violently. It was as if a drastic change had occurred in his Life Palace. His consciousness wanted to enter, but it was instantly torn apart by a violent force.
"Ah …" A low roar came from Ye Futian's mouth. Yu Sheng suddenly stood up and stared at the drastic change in Ye Futian's body. Not only Ye Futian's body, but even the Spiritual Qi that had gathered around him was flowing towards Ye Futian. Moreover, the flowers and trees around him were withering at an extremely fast speed. As if thinking of something, a bright light flashed in Yu Sheng's eyes. He walked behind Ye Futian and sat down, placing both hands on Ye Futian's body. Indeed, in just an instant, a strong suction force was sucking in the Spiritual Qi in his body.
Was he finally going to awaken?
…
When Ye Futian woke up, he felt extremely weak. He opened his eyes and the sunlight was a little dazzling. It was obvious that a night had passed.
"What … what's going on?" Ye Futian sat up and saw that the plants around him had withered. Yu Sheng also sat down weakly to rest.
Thinking of what had happened the day before, he closed his eyes and entered his Life Palace. Then, his body trembled violently. At that moment, in the barren Life Palace, there was moonlight shining from the sky. There was also a vast land with mountains and rivers. The Ancient Tree Life Spirit stood tall on the ground, swaying in the wind. Its lush branches and leaves were even more verdant, as if it was filled with Spiritual Qi.
"The World Tree." Ye Futian's consciousness appeared under the Ancient Tree. Could it be that his father hadn't lied to him?
His father had once told him that his ancestor was a heaven-defying Mandate Sorcerer. His Life Spirit, the World Tree, could steal the spirits of all things in the world. It was just that the family's inheritance had been severed, and Ye Futian was the only one who had inherited his ancestor's talent.
"Does this mean that the Freedom Meditation is also real?" Ye Futian thought of the Freedom Meditation that he had memorized since he was young. He was a little excited. Then, he closed his eyes and uttered a cryptic chant. Soon, he became completely focused. His thoughts were clear, and his will moved freely between heaven and earth.
Soon, in Ye Futian's visualization, dense Spiritual Qi appeared. He could even see Spiritual Qi of different colors. It was the purest Spiritual Qi of different elements. Every color represented a different element.
"Flame." Ye Futian's will locked onto the flame colored Spiritual Qi. It was fire-elemental Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. The World Tree Life Spirit had turned into the color of fire, and it was dazzling. Suddenly, the fire Spiritual Qi from the outside world flowed fiercely into Ye Futian's body. It swam through his internal organs, and the burning sensation was extremely strong.
"Wood elemental." Ye Futian used the Freedom Meditation and visualized the green Spiritual Qi. In an instant, the wood elemental Spiritual Qi poured into his body, and his depleted essence, Qi, and spirit quickly recovered.
"Metal, earth, wind, water …" Ye Futian kept trying. After a long time, he finally stopped and opened his eyes again. He stared blankly in front of him.
"Is this real?" Ye Futian looked at his hands in disbelief.
"Of course it's real. You're a full-elemental sorcerer." Behind him, Yu Sheng clenched his fists. His veins were bulging from excitement. He stared at Ye Futian and said, "And you're a full-elemental Mandate Sorcerer who can cultivate both martial arts and sorcery."
"If that's the case, then my talent is …" Ye Futian's eyes sparkled.
"Extraordinary," Yu Sheng said. "There's no one else like you in the City of Qingzhou."
A bright smile bloomed on his lips. So many people in the previous generation had not inherited the ancestor's talent, but it had fallen into his hands. Was this destiny? Mandate Sorcerers were destined by heaven.
"Let's go." Ye Futian suddenly stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
"Where to?" Yu Sheng asked.
"The back of the mountain," Ye Futian replied. The back of the mountain referred to Mount Tianyao, which was behind Qingzhou Academy.
"The back of the mountain is full of demons and beasts. Why are we going there?" Yu Sheng asked.
"It's on the edge. What's there to be afraid of?" Ye Futian said as he walked out. Yu Sheng did not say anything else and followed closely behind.
Mount Tianyao was a chain of mountains. The terrain was steep, and demons and beasts roamed the mountain. Very few people knew how deep it was. It was said that Qingzhou Academy was built on the mountain to prevent the demons and beasts from coming out of the mountain to cause trouble. At the same time, it was also a place for the disciples to train.
At noon, the two youths climbed to the top of a mountain at the edge of Mount Tianyao. Standing on a huge rock, they looked down at the majestic academy. Ye Futian let out a breath.
It had been three years. Knowing that he was a Mandate Sorcerer, he would not be satisfied with just cultivating martial arts. However, his Life Spirit had not changed, which made him feel lonely under his proud appearance. Now, everything was finally over. He would move forward towards his dream of becoming a powerful Mandate Sorcerer.
The scorching sun shone on Ye Futian. He looked up at the sun, his eyes narrowed with confidence.
The essence of Freedom Meditation was to visualize and think.
At this moment, he wanted to visualize the sun.
Ye Futian visualized the sun on the boulder at the top of the mountain. Soon, the sun's rays turned into the fire of the sun, spreading around Ye Futian and entering his body. An overbearing fire of the sun flowed through his organs, reaching his organs, limbs, and bones, filling his entire body.
Yu Sheng looked forward. Seeing Ye Futian turn into a man of fire, a smile appeared in his determined eyes. The sleeping dragon was finally awakening.
Crackling sounds could be heard. Ye Futian's skin was scorched red by the fire. Under the fire of the sun, his body was constantly changing.
After a long while, Ye Futian's skin became translucent as if it was on fire. Inside his body, fire dragons appeared and crashed into his meridians, making a loud rumbling sound. Fortunately, there was no one at the top of the mountain. Yu Sheng was the only one who could hear the violent sounds.
Body refinement and opening meridians caused such a huge commotion.
Before he knew it, it was already dusk. The sun set in the west. Ye Futian's body was already wrapped in flames. There seemed to be a storm inside his body and his bones kept making cracking sounds. Ye Futian only stopped when the sun disappeared. He slowly opened his eyes, and a beam of fire shot out from his pupils.
"Three planes in one day," Yu Sheng said in shock. He'd been suppressed for three years and exploded in one day. Using the power of the sun to burn his body, he'd broken through the Body Refinement and Opening Meridians Realms and stepped into the fourth plane of Awakening. Iron Bones, copper skin and iron bones.
"So overbearing," Ye Futian murmured. Ordinary people would need at least a few months to forge a body of copper skin and iron bones. He had become a Mandate Sorcerer and used the Freedom Visualization to forge with the Fire of the Sun. With the help of his Life Spirit, he had forged a body of iron bones in half a day.
At this moment, he felt full of power. Standing up, Ye Futian walked to a huge ancient tree at the top of the mountain. His fist whistled and landed on the thick trunk of the tree. In an instant, there was a cracking sound. The trunk shattered and the tree in front of him split into pieces, then collapsed. The place where his fist landed was scorched black.
