Aside from Jun Qiuyan’s group, another group of cultivators had also arrived here. This group did not have as many members, but each individual had an astonishing temperament. Ye Futian had also encountered the leading youth before. Back in the Penglai Deity Region, the youth was together with Jun Qiuyan, and the two of them were close.

After they arrived, they merely cast a sideways glance at Ye Futian. They did not pay him much heed. Their gazes fell on the female Renhuang, who was comprehending the Buddhist musical notes on the cliff face. When they saw the divine light coming from her, Jun Qiuyan and another youth revealed strange looks. It seemed that she might be able to comprehend the characters on the cliff face.

“Shangguan, how’s your comprehension coming?” the youth asked at that moment. His tone was calm and indifferent. This person was similar to Jun Qiuyan. He was born into a top force of the Penglai Continent. The alchemy cIan, Yun clan, was an extremely terrifying force in the Penglai Continent. They were no weaker than the Jun clan.

Aside from Jun clan and Yun clan, the female Renhuang who was cultivating was similarly a cultivator from a top force of the Penglai Continent, Shangguan clan. In front of the cliff face, cultivators from three major forces of the Penglai Continent had gathered.

In reality, Jun Qiuyan and Yun Zhe from Yun clan had not come for Ye Futian. They had merely coincidentally bumped into him here. Jun Qiuyan was not too concerned about Ye Futian, even though Ye Futian’s cultivation talent was exceptional.

“Yun Zhe, you are presumptuous,” a Shangguan clan elder said as he frowned behind Shangguan Qiuye. His expression was cold. Yun Zhe was intentionally disturbing Shangguan Qiuye’s cultivation.

“I came to ask how Shangguan Qiuye’s cultivation was going. Why does Senior say I’m presumptuous for doing so?” Yun Zhe asked the elder as he looked at him. The elder did not respond. His body released a faint, cold aura. The relationship between the few major clans of the Penglai Continent was complicated. Yun clan, Jun clan, and their Shangguan clan had always been at odds with each other.

Right then, the light on Shangguan Qiuye’s figure gradually dimmed. She slowly turned around. Her beautiful gaze was breathtaking as it swept towards Yun Zhe and Jun Qiuyan.

“I have comprehended some things. Do you want to join me?” Shangguan Qiuye replied Yun Zhe in a calm tone.

Yun Zhe looked up at the huge cliff face before him. The obscure golden characters were like a riddle. He could not see through them at all. However, they knew from the people around them and their clan records that the characters on the cliff face were musical notes.

A prominent Buddhist cultivator had carved a Buddhist musical technique here on the cliff face. Based on their clan records, this technique was called the Vajra Demon-slaying Rhythm. It was an extremely terrifying Way of Rhythm offensive technique. It could immediately attack the spiritual souls of others. It was especially good at restraining demonic powers. It was an exceptionally overbearing technique of the Way of Rhythm.

Yet, only cultivators who were proficient in the Way of Rhythm could have a chance of comprehending it. Jun Qiuyan and Yun Zhe were slightly knowledgeable about the Way of Rhythm but were not proficient in this power of the Great Path. They might be able to sense it slightly. However, it was impossible for them to comprehend and cultivate the Vajra Demon-slaying Rhythm.

After looking Shangguan Qiuye in the eye, Yun Zhe asked Jun Qiuyan, who was beside him, “What do you think?”

“Although we are not proficient in the Way of Rhythm, there is no harm in trying to comprehend it. All the Great Paths are interconnected. We might be able to reap benefits that we never imagined,” Jun Qiuyan answered as he looked at Shangguan Qiuye. As he said this, he also glanced at Ye Futian, who was to the side.

“Alright,” Yun Zhe agreed. “Then, let’s comprehend it for a while. Let us see whether we can comprehend this Vajra Demon-slaying Rhythm.”

Vajra Demon-slaying Rhythm. When the crowd heard Yun Zhe say this, their hearts trembled. Was this teaching known as the Vajra Demon-slaying Rhythm?

They were cultivators from the major forces of the Penglai Continent. They were the forces most familiar with Eastern Deity Island. What they said shouldn’t be wrong.

Ye Futian repeated the name in his mind. A demon-slaying technique?

Jun Qiuyan took a few steps forward. A number of cultivators followed him. Behind them, silhouettes lined up one after another. Their auras were astonishing. They made the cultivators in the space sense a faint pressure.

If one looked carefully, they would notice that Ye Futian’s group coincidentally had all their escape routes from this place sealed off.

Before this, a huge battle had erupted between Ye Futian and Jun clan. He had killed many cultivators from the Jun clan.

After stepping into the Illusory Sky Domain, Jun Qiuyan had planned not to let Ye Futian leave alive.

Now that there were no goddesses from Eastern Deity Island around, no one would get in Jun Qiuyan’s way.

He swept a glance at Ye Futian and said, “Don’t you have extraordinary talent? Let’s comprehend and cultivate together then.”

Jun Qiuyan allowed Ye Futian to comprehend the characters on the cliff face together with him. Although Jun Qiuyan did not want to admit that Ye Futian was related to the incident of the Flowering Tree, he knew deep down that it was related to Ye Futian.

Yet, this was not important. Regardless of whether or not it was Ye Futian, Jun Qiuyan would still kill him.

Before taking Ye Futian’s life, he would allow Ye Futian to follow him around to comprehend teachings to see how talented Ye Futian actually was.

Ye Futian glanced sideways at Jun Qiuyan and ignored him. He then turned his gaze to the cliff face. He was originally planning to comprehend and cultivate here. What did this have to do with Jun Qiuyan? Did he need Jun Qiuyan’s permission to comprehend the characters of the Great Path here?

Seeing that Ye Futian was ignoring him, Jun Qiuyan paid him no need and also turned towards the cliff face.

Everything returned to normal. The cultivators present also turned back to the cliff face to attempt to comprehend the characters.

Ye Futian also did the same. Will of the Great Path emanated from his body and sensed the will on the cliff face. At the same time, Ye Futian’s eyes became extremely bright. They had an enchanting air around them. For an instant, the golden characters seemed to leap out in his eyes.

Musical notes.

Ye Futian entered a state of deep focus. His attention was fully focused on the cliff face. Right now, it was as though he had entered a domain of absolute silence. Before him, golden musical notes were leaping around.

Will. Ye Futian sensed the existence of a will. It was very clear and distinct. There was will contained within the characters of the Great Path, and the two were well merged with each other. Ye Futian tried hard to sense them. He could sense the musical notes leaping around, but he could not hear their sounds.

The most beautiful song is one without sound. The will might have already surpassed the existence of sound.

Ye Futian’s senses were terrifying. As he sensed them, the characters seemed to come alive. They became golden characters that danced in the air, seemingly playing a melodious tune.

However, there was no sound at all. At least, Ye Futian could not hear anything.

There were musical notes, but there was no sound.

Even so, on Ye Futian’s body, golden light shone. It seemed as though he was forging a golden body. His entire body began to sparkle.

This scene caused Beigong Ao and others to reveal strange expressions. No matter how exceptional a talent Ye Futian displayed now, they would no longer be surprised. However, what made them truly speechless was that he was not just displaying outstanding talent.

It was the fact that he seemed to be able to master and cultivate all sorts of powers of the Great Path that surprised them.

Now, he was actually also proficient in the Way of Rhythm.

Then, was there a power of the Great Path that he could not cultivate?

This time, Ye Futian was comprehending something much more difficult to comprehend than swordsmanship. He sensed the musical notes and only managed to faintly grasp something after a long while.

The most beautiful song is one without sound. The Way of Rhythm did not necessarily require sounds to be heard.

The Vajra Demon-slaying Rhythm controlled the rhythm of sounds. When the sounds of the Great Path reached another level, Ye Futian might not even be qualified to hear those sounds.

His Plane was too low. That was why he couldn’t hear the sounds.

Ye Futian thought to himself.

Although he could not hear them, his sensory ability was powerful, and he could sense the rhythm of the musical notes. Through this rhythm, he could still cultivate.

At that moment, Ye Futian became even more absorbed into his cultivation. He became completely focused as he sensed the rhythm of the first set of musical notes.

Everyone in this space was comprehending the musical notes. However, most of them failed to grasp the main points. A middle-level Renhuang lamented, “I have cultivated the Way of Rhythm for many years. I sense that this rhythm is extraordinary. It is definitely a powerful musical technique. Alas, I cannot grasp its main points. I am destined to miss this opportunity.”

As he said this, he let out a long sigh. He finally decided to give up. He turned to leave.

“Are you leaving?” someone asked.

“I am,” the elder replied without turning back. “I wonder whether anyone can manage to comprehend this musical technique within a century.”

It was difficult, too difficult.

He had delved into the Way of Rhythm for many years and was considered a master level figure. Yet, he could only grasp the surface of this technique. From his perspective, with the difficulty of this technique of the Way of Rhythm, even if Eastern Deity Island were to be opened up to the outside world ten times, it might be that no one would successfully cultivate it.

However, at that moment, a formless rhythm swept out, causing the elder to stop in his tracks. He then turned around and looked at the cliff face. He saw the first set of golden characters seemingly leap off the cliff face. The characters radiated brilliant golden light. The characters emitted sound waves of the Great Path, which instantly swept through the space. Everyone could clearly sense the power of the sound.

“Who did it?”

The elder’s beard fluttered in the wind. His gaze suddenly became extremely sharp. He glanced around at the crowd as his heart wavered. Someone had managed to comprehend the musical notes. Although it was only the first step, it was a start.

With such a place to start from, comprehending this riddle would be a possibility.

His gaze turned towards Shangguan Qiuye. Prior to this, only she had managed to resonate with the cliff face. If anyone had managed to succeed, she had the highest likelihood of doing so.

However, right now, Shangguan Qiuye similarly felt her heart tremble. Her beautiful eyes opened, and she stared at the cliff face. The wave of the Great Path made her feel an intense sense of awe. This was the result that she had tried to achieve by comprehending so hard.

Yet, before she had reached this step, someone else had beaten her to it.

Who managed to do it?

She also looked around at the crowd. Seeing her reaction, the elder immediately understood that it was not Shangguan Qiuye who had done so. Who exactly did it?

Many people opened their eyes and surveyed their surroundings. There were even some people who started whispering to each other. They had all sensed what had happened just now.

Shangguan Qiuye glanced at Jun Qiuyan and Yun Zhe. It couldn’t be those two, could it?

The two of them were looking at Shangguan Qiuye. Yun Zhe looked at her in suspicion. He then smiled and asked, “It wasn’t you?”

Shangguan Qiuye did not need to ask anymore to know that it wasn’t them.

Then, who could it be?

Who was still cultivating?

Her gaze swept across the crowd and eventually landed on a silhouette. The figure had white hair and was dressed in white robes. His gaze was still fixed on the cliff face, seemingly absorbed to the point that he couldn’t pull himself away from looking at it.

This person was Ye Futian. He was also one of the few cultivators who were unperturbed and were still comprehending the musical notes.

Shangguan Qiuye naturally was suspicious of him!
