Chapter 2020: Appraisal
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the various mountain peaks, practitioners all looked around at others. The Donghua Academy practitioners had already tested themselves, so there was no need for them to go again.
As for the other practitioners, it was their first time stepping into the Donghua Academy. It was a rare chance that they got to stand in front of the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels and appraise their own Divine Wheels.
“Of the three main goddesses of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow, there are still two of you who possess a perfect Great Path. Certainly, the level of your Divine Wheels is not low. Would you be interested in trying?” A voice echoed out; it was from a disciple of the Donghua Academy.
The three direct disciples of the Sword Goddess of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow were all practitioners with a perfect Great Path. Apart from Jiang Yueli, who was at the high Renhuang level, there were also Qin Qing and Chu Hanxi at the middle Renhuang level. Rumor had it that they were extraordinary women favored by the gods.
In the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow, these three women were all potential heirs to the Sword Goddess.
Even though Jiang Yueli was ahead, it did not mean that Qin Qing and Chu Hanxi were definitely inferior. Testing their divine wheels here was an excellent method.
“Emperor Ye from the Wangshen Watchtower has such overpowering combat abilities with a perfect Divine Wheel of the Great Path. Furthermore, he possesses multiple Divine Wheels. Surely the level of his Divine Wheels must be very high,” Ling He said from Lingxiao Palace, looking at Ye Futian as he did so.
His defeat from the last time was humiliating. In the future, wherever Ye Futian was, everyone would compare the two of them. He had two motives for getting Ye Futian to appraise his Divine Wheel. First, it was for him to see just how strong Ye Futian’s Divine Wheel was and what level it was at. Secondly, if Ye Futian were indeed that outstanding, someone would surely take him down.
The Great Yan Ancient Royal Family was also present. They glanced at Ye Futian. Obviously, they, too, wanted to know the level of Ye Futian’s Divine Wheel of the Great Path.
“I am rather mediocre, so my Divine Wheel level should be rather normal too. With so many top-tier factions around, like the Desolate God Palace, Great Yan Ancient Royal Family, Lingxiao Palace, and the goddesses of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow, there are certainly people who possess a high-level Divine Wheel. As for me, I am not deserving of stepping onto this magnificent stage,” Ye Futian said with a smile, appearing very humble.
Behind his smile, however, his intent to slay Ling He did not waver.
“Emperor Ye, you really know how to joke. Whether it was the battle of the Wangshen Watchtower or the battle at Turtle Deity Island, Emperor Ye was outstanding,” Ling He said, trying his best to hide his chilly attitude. Ye Futian said he was not deserving enough. Wouldn’t it be even more the case for him, as he was the one who had lost to Ye Futian?
“Those two battles? You couldn’t really count them. Perhaps it might be because of my opponents,” Ye Futian replied with a smile, causing Ling He and Yan Dongyang to both reveal a cold expression. Ye Futian had insulted them without holding back.
When he said it was because of his opponents, he meant that it wasn’t so much that he was outstanding, but rather because his opponents were too weak. Ye Futian meant that Ling He and Yan Dongyang were nothing.
“I’ll go try.” At this moment, a soft and gentle voice sounded out. Qin Qing took the initiative to walk up to face the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels. It was only then that the argument was quelled.
Qin Qing’s Divine Wheel of the Great Path was unique; it was actually a mirror. Although it was strange when another mirror appeared in the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels, the layers of divine light in the divine mirror continued to flow. Qin Qing’s Divine Wheel of the Great Path was appraised; it was at the fourth level.
To be able to attain the fourth level was already very outstanding. Even though she was a little behind Jiang Yueli, Desolation, and Zong Chan, it was very rare for someone in Donghua Academy to attain such a level. Apart from Ning Hua, who was able to cause six layers of divine light to appear in the divine mirror, no one could cause five layers to appear like Jiang Yueli and the rest. Hence, there was a chasm in levels.
Of course, the level of the Divine Wheel of the Great Path could be raised as one’s cultivation level was raised. Even though these cases were extremely rare, and the final quality might not rise with an increase in level, it was still possible. Many practitioners continuously tried to perfect their own Divine Wheels of the Great Path, causing them to be more powerful.
After Qin Qing, Chu Hanxi also walked out. Like Qin Qing, four layers of divine light appeared in the divine mirror.
“You are indeed the three disciples of the Fluttering Snow Sword Goddess. The three goddesses indeed have astonishing talent,” Liu Qingzhu said. Many people nodded their heads in agreement. A level-five and two-level four divine wheels. Talents of this level were indeed astonishing.
The Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow was ranked among the top three factions in the Donghua Domain. The Sword Goddess was also honorably ranked among the top three powerful virtuosos. Now it seemed like her three disciples were going to inherit everything from her.
“Let me try.” At that moment, another silhouette walked out. This time, the practitioner who walked out was the prince of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family, Yan Dongyang. He had a perfect Great Path and thus wanted to test the level of his Great Path Divine Wheel.
Yan Dongyang walked to the front of the divine mirror, and a shocking dragon’s roar echoed out. A sacred giant golden dragon orbited him. A divine dragon appeared in the divine mirror.
Very quickly, Yan Dongyang saw the result. Three layers of divine light glowed.
He waited, seemingly with a tinge of refusal to accept the results. Yet, the fourth layer of divine light did not appear. This meant that his Divine Wheel was inferior to those of Qin Qing and Chu Hanxi.
A while later, Yan Dongyang finally accepted the reality. He turned around and silently returned to the mountain peak where the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family was located.
“Are you not planning to give it a try?” On the mountain peak where the practitioners of Wangshen Watchtower stood, Li Changsheng asked Ye Futian in a low voice. He smiled at him.
Ye Futian seemed to be a little hesitant. A few people had already given it a try. He felt that Desolation, Jiang Yueli, and Zong Chan had very powerful Divine Wheels of the Great Path. Among everyone, he should have the greatest number of Divine Wheels. Since he had many life spirits, he could forge many Divine Wheels of the Great Path.
However, when it came to the level of his Divine Wheels, he didn’t think they would be that high. From his perspective, apart from the Divine Wheel forged from the World Tree, all others were forged from life spirits that only appeared later on. Desolation, Jiang Yueli, and people like them were not ordinary people. Zong Chan forged his Divine Wheel in the heavenly treasure in Wangshen Watchtower, so it was certainly powerful too.
Thus, Ye Futian already had a rough estimate of the levels of his Divine Wheel.
“Does the sole heir to the Eastern Deity Island with a perfect Great Path not want to try it?” a voice echoed. It came from a virtuoso from the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family. They still remembered that Ye Futian was the heir to the Eastern Deity Island.
Ye Futian represented Eastern Deity Island.
Ye Futian raised his head to look at the other party. Behind him, the Donglai Goddess had a tinge of coldness in her eyes. It seemed like the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family was reminding Ye Futian that they would not just let him off like that.
“Alright,” Ye Futian nodded. “Since everyone seems to be even more curious than I am, I will give it a try.”
As he spoke, he stepped forward. His body descended to the Path Seeking Stage to face the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels between the two peaks.
“Emperor Ye, you have so many Divine Wheels. Which one are you planning to test?” The virtuoso of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family continued to ask.
“Which one do you want to see?” Ye Futian asked in reply.
“Why don’t you test all?” the virtuoso said.
Ye Futian did not reply. Qin Qing and the practitioners of the Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow paid a little more attention to Ye Futian. They noticed that he was not simple; he had proven himself in the two battles that made his name renowned. Yet, among these top-tier factions, he was still discriminated against.
This test of Divine Wheels done by the Donghua Academy could further validate Ye Futian’s talent and potential and how far he could go in the future. Would he become the next Zong Chan of Wangshen Watchtower?
A brilliant golden light glimmered on Ye Futian’s body. The ethereal form of a divine elephant seemed to materialize. The golden divine elephant was incomparably large. In an instant, a change occurred in the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels. The shadow of a divine elephant appeared in the divine mirror. At the same time, divine light locked onto Ye Futian’s body, and a rather mysterious connection was formed.
At that moment, Ye Futian felt that this Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels was extraordinary; it seemed to be able to evolve all forms of power of the Great Path.
Very quickly, layers of divine light started to revolve. In an instant, three layers of divine light were revolving around him. Many people focused on it.
In a little while, the fourth layer of divine light appeared. Like the virtuosos of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Ling He and the virtuosos from the Lingxiao Palace, many people had a more serious look in their eyes. It was not easy to attain the fourth level. Qin Qing and Chu Hanxi were all on this level.
“It’s not stopping yet,” someone said in a low voice. The practitioners of Donghua Academy were staring intently in that direction. Another layer of divine light appeared once again, revolving around the divine elephant. With the appearance of five layers of divine light, the mountain peaks all around turned dead silent.
Five layers. This was the same level as Desolation, Jiang Yueli, and Zong Chan. Furthermore, he was only a middle-level Renhuang. He had yet to witness the Path to a high-level Renhuang with a perfect Great Path. Didn’t this mean that he was another Zong Chan?
In the future, he would certainly reach the same heights as Desolation and people like him.
Ling He’s eyes turned a little sharp, and the murderous intent harbored by the virtuosos of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family intensified greatly. Jiang Yueli was also a little surprised. Looking closely at Ye Futian’s back, she realized that this man had great potential. Was Wangshen Watchtower going to rise?
After the fifth layer of divine light appeared, it finally stopped. Seeing this unfold before him, Ye Futian did not feel too surprised; it was as though everything was within his expectations. This Divine Wheel was forged with his secondary life spirit, so of course, its level would not be that high. For it to attain the same level as Desolation’s, Jiang Yueli’s, and the others’ was already complicated.
Then, the other few Divine Wheels that he had should all be of the same level. He did not know the level of the Moon Wheel he forged later on or that of the Divine Wheel forged by his natal spirit. Would they cause six layers of divine light to appear in the Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels?
Or perhaps, even more?
No matter the limit of this Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels, he felt that this Divine Mirror of Heavenly Wheels was also a precious treasure, an extraordinary item indeed!
