Correct! Ye Chu had indeed entered a meditative trance!
Ye Chu never dreamed that this mural would actually be able to draw in his mind and spirit. The moment Ye Chu felt that ethereal, otherworldly intent, one that seemed ready to drift away with the wind, he involuntarily sank into the mural.
No matter how Ye Chu guessed, he would never have thought that the Instant Wind Art would harmonise with this mural. The Instant Wind Art guided his Primordial Spirit, and with Ye Chu’s powerful comprehension, he was forcefully pushed into a meditative state.
From this moment on, Ye Chu had no doubt about who that man drifting with the wind was.
“The Instant Wind Supreme!”
Correct! It was indeed the Instant Wind Supreme! Back then, Ye Chu and a group including Ye Jingyun had obtained the Instant Wind Art, but that was only an incomplete version created by the Instant Wind Supreme. Although it was extraordinary, it was a million miles away from the true Instant Wind Art.
Ye Chu’s mind and spirit immersed themselves in the mural. He felt the ethereal nature of the wind and clouds, felt the gentle breeze of heaven and earth fluttering, light and carefree. His entire being felt as though it were about to soar into the sky, drifting freely like something amidst the clouds.
In that single instant, Ye Chu felt his weight vanish completely. He felt lighter than a goose feather. With just a single breath, he could drift and dance between heaven and earth.
Wang Peng had said it contained a supreme secret, and it truly did. This was the life’s work of the Instant Wind Supreme, his perfected Instant Wind Art, his Supreme Law.
A Supreme Law, known as the most powerful mystical art in this world. This was something that could drive anyone mad!
Ye Chu simply stood there quietly, his entire being experiencing the light and ethereal nature of the wind and clouds.
As Ye Chu entered his meditative state, the mural began to shift. The clouds carved from dark iron, the howling wind, and the man all began to move. The clouds drifted, the man rose with the wind, floating into the sky like an immortal. His entire figure seemed as weightless as a cloud, devoid of any brute force.
With the shifting of the mural, the entire pagoda at this moment also surged with an otherworldly, ethereal aura. It felt as though this magnificent pagoda possessed no strength whatsoever. This was an illusion, yet every single person present felt it in their hearts.
This illusion alarmed many powerhouses in the Fiend Spirit Pavilion. From various mountains, powerful figures shot out, their gazes all fixed upon the pagoda.
“What is happening? Why does this pagoda feel as though it is about to drift away with the wind!”
“What the devil! This pagoda weighs tens of millions of pounds. Why does it feel as light as a feather to me right now?”
“Why is this?”
“…”
On the ninth floor of the pagoda, three elders were resting with their eyes closed. They sat cross legged in meditation, utterly silent. Yet these three figures suddenly opened their eyes, exchanged glances, and saw the astonishment in each other’s eyes.
The three turned their gaze downwards, and vanished from the ninth floor in mid air, appearing instantly below.
“Who is this person?” The three elders concealed themselves in the void before the mural, staring at Ye Chu who stood there in meditation, their hearts filled with uncertainty and shock.
“He wears a blue jade pendant. He must be a blue jade rank disciple of this generation. He actually entered a meditative trance just by looking at the mural. Wait, the mural is moving according to his mind.” The three elders were terrified.
Given their status, they naturally knew that this mural contained a supreme secret. They had also attempted to comprehend it, and while they had gained something, they had never been able to fully grasp it.
They never expected that a disciple could enter meditation through the mural, causing it to shift with his thoughts.
The three elders stared in astonishment at the man on the mural. The figure in the mural walked freely like an immortal across the ethereal clouds. With every step, he carried the mystical laws of heaven and earth.
It was precisely with each of his steps that the pagoda itself seemed to drift as if ascending to immortality.
“The Instant Wind Supreme!” The three had some understanding of this pagoda and had previously guessed it was a supreme artifact. However, they had never guessed whose it was. But seeing the scene before them now, how could they fail to deduce the pagoda’s origins?
The Instant Wind Supreme possessed a set of Instant Wind Arts, allowing him to tread upon clouds and transform into a howling gale. It was a peerless supreme movement technique. Throughout his life, the Instant Wind Supreme’s combat prowess was not particularly famous among the Supremes. However, the Instant Wind Art he created more than made up for this shortcoming, earning him a renowned reputation among countless cultivators.
The Instant Wind Supreme was born in the wrong era. Had he not lived in the same era as the Red Dust Female Saint, his fame would undoubtedly have multiplied several times over, all thanks to the Instant Wind Art.
The three had long pondered who this pagoda belonged to. Realising it now, they could not help but exchange a terrified glance. This truly was a supreme treasure.
Rumour had it that in his later years, the Instant Wind Supreme obtained a priceless treasure material and forged a supreme artifact in the outer realm. Whether it was successfully forged or not remained unknown, because after that point, no one had ever seen the Instant Wind Supreme again.
Most people believed the rumour that the Instant Wind Supreme had passed away before the supreme artifact was successfully forged. But now it seemed this pagoda was highly likely to be that very artifact.
Thinking of this possibility, the hearts of all three pounded wildly, their faces showing sheer terror.
They knew better than anyone what a supreme artifact represented. The Heavenly Sky Pavilion, as a sacred land, had established its footing in the Emotion Realm and dared not be casually provoked precisely because it possessed a supreme artifact.
If there were to be another supreme artifact, would that not mean…
Thinking of this possibility, the breathing of all three grew rapid. With two supreme artifacts, the Heavenly Sky Pavilion could absolutely dominate the region, and might even rule the Emotion Realm without relying solely on the status of a Supreme.
The three all fixed their gaze on Ye Chu, their hearts trembling once more. This young man’s meditation had caused the mural to shift. He was attempting to comprehend a Supreme Law.
A supreme artifact, a supreme law? Either one alone was an earth shattering existence.
“Who is this young man? If he can obtain a supreme law, his achievements will absolutely not be low! When did the Fiend Spirit Pavilion recruit such a disciple?”
“It is good that he can comprehend a supreme law. Perhaps the Fiend Spirit Pavilion will produce a figure on the level of a royal heir.”
The three elders kept their eyes on Ye Chu, who stood there, devoid of joy or sorrow.
“Strange! This young man is rather peculiar. I cannot see through his Primordial Spirit at all. It is as though his Primordial Spirit does not even exist.”
“He is currently comprehending a supreme law. With the supreme law aiding him, our strength is not yet enough to pierce through it.”
“That makes sense! However, it is very strange. He is merely a blue jade disciple. How can he comprehend the supreme secret that generations of us have failed to grasp?”
They had possessed this pagoda for countless years, yet never had anyone obtained the supreme law.
The Heavenly Sky Pavilion had produced an abundance of geniuses. There had indeed been disciples throughout the generations with heaven defying talent. There were also formidable cultivators who even aimed to break through to the Supreme realm.
Yet even such figures could not comprehend the supreme law. But here was a young man who actually could. Had he truly surpassed everyone else? Nobody wanted to believe that answer.
“Does he have a connection to the Instant Wind Supreme?” The three considered a possibility. Only this possibility could explain it.
Thinking of this possibility, the three looked at Ye Chu with strange expressions. They wondered if he was of the Instant Wind Supreme’s bloodline, since blood relations found it easiest to inherit a Supreme’s mystical arts. However, it was well known that the Instant Wind Supreme had loved only the Red Dust Female Saint his entire life, and had lived in solitude. How could he possibly have left behind a bloodline?
