Soon, many people had realized that Blind Tie was the cultivator who had protected Ye Futian before. After all, many people knew Ye Futian nowadays. When he had gone up to the highest point in the starry sky, all of them knew who he was.
“That is the man who protected Ye Futian,” someone said outright.
“Why is he the one who received the inheritance?” Many people looked surprised at this. Ye Futian’s previous pronouncement had shocked them all. As soon as he went up, they had guessed that Emperor Ziwei was scattered through the stars in the heavens. And Ye Futian was the only one who had been able to comprehend the corpse of Emperor Shenjia.
Thus, if Ye Futian received the inheritance, perhaps they would not have been so shocked. But now, it was Blind Tie who had received, someone whose eyes could not see, someone who had once protected Ye Futian.
“Could it be that his senses are stronger because he is blind?” someone guessed.
“No,” said someone looking up into the sky. “Ye Futian asked him to come up there.”
He had seen with his own eyes what Ye Futian had done there. After that, Ye Futian had asked Blind Tie to come up.
“What do you mean?” someone beside the Renhuang who had spoken asked, a look of surprise on his face. “That is impossible.”
Who would give the inheritance of a Great Emperor to someone else?
Moreover, was Ye Futian really so supremely powerful? Not only had he discovered the deep secret of the Imperial Star, but he had given it over to someone else? This was too shocking. There were so many cultivators there who wanted to find the Imperial Stars but could not do it. They certainly would not give that chance to someone else.
After speaking, they could not help but look back up to Ye Futian. They saw that he was not far from Blind Tie. He was cultivating up there in that field of stars. He was looking at Blind Tie, a smile upon his face.
Although he had opened the way for him, Blind Tie had still needed to rely on himself to sense the Imperial Star, which was not a simple matter. Previously, the power of the two cultivators who had discovered the Imperial Star was the same as the Imperial Star’s power that they had come in contact with, which is why they produced a resonance with it. Thus, Ye Futian had let Blind Tie inherit the power of this Imperial Star since his own power made him well suited to discovering that Imperial Star.
Anyone else would not have been guaranteed success.
These were his main reasons for doing this. But Uncle Tie himself had only been able to do this because of his extraordinary understanding.
Many cultivators flashed over there towards where Blind Tie was floating. This scene made Ye Futian and those with him frown slightly, and there was a strange look in their eyes. They looked upon the people coming towards them warily. What did this mean?
No one had dared disturb the two people before. So why were they coming towards Blind Tie now?
Ye Futian naturally saw this. He knew that the two cultivators who had made contact with the Imperial Star before were exceptional, and their backgrounds were quite extraordinary. Thus, no one dared to have any ideas about disturbing them. Now, Blind Tie had made contact with an Imperial Star. Were they getting ideas this time?
He temporarily stopped trying to make contact with a new Imperial Star and turned his gaze to the people who were coming. He could see that they were continuing forward towards where Blind Tie was. He could see that many cultivators were below him, all of them staring at Blind Tie.
Fang Gai and the others were guarding the perimeter and watching in all directions. Seeing that the others were still continuing forward, they could not help but release some of their power. Fang Gai said, “He is cultivating, so I hope you will not disturb him. If you have something to say to him, why don’t you wait until he is finished and then say it?”
“I want to ask, how did you make contact with this star?” a Renhuang asked Blind Tie in a loud, clear voice. Fang Gai frowned. These people clearly did not have good intentions. When they saw that Blind Tie had inherited the Imperial power, they had gotten ideas. They wanted to know the secret of how to make contact with the Imperial Stars.
Boom! At that moment, a divine light shone down upon Blind Tie. His body moved slightly as he turned to face the man who had spoken. A terrifying aura spread out from him as a divine hammer appeared up in the sky, filled with world-destroying divine power.
The divine hammer was bathed in the radiance of the Imperial Star, and its light filled the heavens. A terrifying burst of power shot out from within it, pressing everything down. All the Renhuangs in the area around it felt their hearts begin to beat faster.
This was not right. He was bathed in the radiance of the Imperial Star. It was like he could draw power out of it.
In that case, since Blind Tie was already at the eighth tier with a perfect divine wheel, how many people there would be able to compete with him?
Boom!
An even more terrifying power seeped out. Everyone could see the divine hammer growing larger until it covered the sky. It was like a heavenly hammer of stars, with enough power to destroy an entire realm. It floated in the air above everyone’s heads. The Renhuang who had spoken could feel his heart racing, and a frightened look came over his face. If that hammer fell, would he be able to withstand it?
Finally, terrifying divine radiance burst out of the hammer and crashed down from the sky, crushing an entire area and splitting the Imperial Star into two parts. Dazzling radiance flowed out from the starry sky, cutting through the world of stars and falling not far from where all the Renhuangs were standing. A wild windstorm blew towards them, surrounding them with the power of the Great Path. Still unable to withstand the terrifying storm, everyone retreated into the distance, their clothes flapping about them wildly in the wind.
After a while, the storm finally disappeared. Everyone looked up and saw that the hammer was gone as well. Blind Tie was still bathed in the light of the Imperial Star and cultivating. He had turned and was no longer facing them.
Everyone’s hearts beat faster. They naturally knew that the hammer had merely been a threat and that it would have actually struck them. If it had, probably not even one of them could have withstood it.
After making contact with the Imperial Star, Blind Tie had been able to directly use its power. This put him in an unassailable position. No one could steal his inheritance, and he would not succumb to anyone’s threats.
It seemed like anyone who had ideas about doing anything to him would find that task impossible.
The cultivators all left the area. They would have to rely on themselves to be able to sense the Imperial Stars.
Ye Futian relaxed after he had witnessed this scene. He looked over at Blind Tie. Divine light was falling from the Imperial Star in the sky. This light contained divine power within it. That was why he had been able to wield that hammer and threaten all those heroes.
Ye Futian flashed away, returning to his previous position. When Blind Tie had made contact with the Imperial Star, he had felt the existence of yet another Imperial Star. He sat cross-legged once again, gathering his spiritual energy. He returned to a state of forgetting himself.
This time, many people were all watching him. Many of them guessed that Blind Tie had only been able to make contact with the Imperial Star because of Ye Futian. So now that Ye Futian was continuing to cultivate, they naturally wanted to watch and see if he could do it again!
His senses entered into the endless starry sky. The stars outlined a vague image. Above this vague image, two hands were holding something, but he could not see clearly what it was.
This time, Ye Futian once again unleashed the power of the Great Path. The light of the Great Path flowed; however, he did not feel an Imperial Star like he had before. He could not produce any resonance.
Could it be that his cultivation was not well suited to this Imperial Star?
As he thought of this, his aura began to boil as he increased the power of the Great Path to the next level. However, he still could not sense anything.
This made Ye Futian frown. According to his previous experience, he should not be able to make any mistakes. Since he had found the image of the emperor, the Imperial Star should be right there. What kind of power did this Imperial Star hold?
Ye Futian remembered that he still had a kind of power that he had not unleashed. Suddenly, endless guqin strings appeared in the air, and a stormy melody swept out from them, becoming guqin notes. At this moment, they seemed to form rhythmic sorcery.
“Rhythmic sorcery?” A surprised look came over Ye Futian’s face. This Imperial Star had something to do with rhythmic sorcery?
As he thought of this, the strings of the Great Path trembled, forming music. It was the Song of the Lost Divine. A powerful storm of rhythmic sorcery covered his body of the Great Path. Suddenly, the image in the sky gradually grew clearer. He could once again see the figure of an emperor clearly. It was holding something. It was holding a guqin.
His consciousness was able to perceive the emperor’s existence. This Imperial Star was in the shape of a guqin, and a terrifying rhythmic sorcery storm was upon it.
Could he inherit it?
Of the people here besides him, no one was skilled or powerful at rhythmic sorcery. They probably could not connect with this Imperial Star.
He retracted his consciousness, and a thoughtful expression came over him. He would be a bit careful when it came to the inheritance of a Great Emperor. There was the potential to create a powerful entity here. If he inherited it himself, he could increase his strength, but Ye Futian felt that would be a little pitiful.
He looked down. It seemed like only one of the people that he knew had the chance to inherit this Imperial Star. But the two of them were not close.
Thinking of this, Ye Futian flashed downward. Over there, a beautiful young woman was standing calmly. She looked surprised when Ye Futian came over to him. She did not understand why he was doing this.
“Greetings, goddess,” said Ye Futian. This goddess was, in fact, the Goddess Taihua. He had an idea. Of course, he could not lightly give the inheritance of a Great Emperor to someone he did not know. That would be up to the Goddess Taihua!
