Chapter 2232: A Ray of Hope

Were there truly eight Imperial Stars? Ye Futian thought to himself.

Even he began to suspect this. For several days, his consciousness had scanned the sky of stars, but he still could not locate it.

The few monstrous figures, who managed to communicate with an Imperial Star before this, similarly had not found it.

This aroused suspicion in Ye Futian.

His figure turned around and glanced in other directions. He saw that many people in the starry sky were looking at him. They seemed to be waiting for him to find the last Imperial Star.

“I scanned the starry sky but have not found the final Imperial Star. Back then, under Great Emperor Ziwei, are you certain that there were eight Great Emperor level figures?” Ye Futian asked the crowd loudly.

“Legend has it that the Eight Glorious Emperors under Great Emperor Ziwei were eight Great Emperor level figures. There should be no mistake in that. The Imperial Stars that have been communicated with seem to prove this point as well. Before this, the Imperial Star in that direction should belong to Great Emperor Tiankui,” someone said as they pointed in one direction. The person seemed certain. This caused a twinkle in Ye Futian’s eyes as he nodded his head slightly.

“If that is the case, the last Imperial Star is mostly hidden deep within s.p.a.ce. It won’t be easy to find,” Ye Futian stated. “Everyone, let’s try hard together.”

“Hmm,” the crowd responded as they nodded their heads. Then, Ye Futian continued to sit down cross-legged with his eyes closed. Divine light circled around his figure as his consciousness floated over towards the starry sky. He began to continue his search for the Imperial Star.

The ethereal starry sky was vast and boundless. Ye Futian was even more serious than before. He focused all his energy on scanning the sky. This Imperial Star was too crucial. When the Eight Glorious Imperial Stars appeared, all the pieces would fall into place, and they might be able to trigger the secret left behind by Great Emperor Ziwei.

Hence, this time, Ye Futian was very focused.

The starry sky was vast and appeared very quiet. In this quiet starry sky, it was as though time did not flow. Ye Futian spent an even longer time to sense the entire starry sky this time around, pa.s.sing over each region of stars.

However, he still came out empty-handed.

It was not just him; it was the same for the other cultivators. No one managed to find the last Imperial Star.

Ye Futian sat underneath the starry sky. His ink-black eyes stared at the starry world. He could not help but be suspicious. Although there were Eight Glorious Emperors under Great Emperor Ziwei, was it possible that one of them had not left behind their power to be inherited?

If that was the case, could the remaining seven Imperial Stars be sufficient to unravel the secrets of the starry sky?

He couldn’t help but glance at the locations of the seven Imperial Stars. He unleashed powerful detection as he closed his eyes. The entire starry sky appeared in his mind, with the seven Imperial Stars s.h.i.+ning brightly.

In Ye Futian’s Life Palace, he developed a world with an endless starry sky to match the locations of each Imperial Star. He wanted to see whether he could deduce any pattern from the Imperial Stars by doing so.

After a long while, he still made zero discoveries. He retracted his consciousness and once again opened his eyes. The starry sky remained vast and mysterious, like a riddle that would never be solved. It was full of unknowns.

Other cultivators who were similarly attempting to find the last star also encountered dead ends like Ye Futian. Everyone present in this starry sky felt helpless. They were out of ideas.

All their probing and searching came to a halt. Ye Futian was the person with the highest chance of succeeding among all of them. However, even he was similarly feeling helpless. From the looks of it, they were still far from being able to unravel the secrets of the starry sky.

Ye Futian gazed at the starry sky and the illusory silhouette of Great Emperor Ziwei. All the illusory figures of the other Great Emperors formed part of the silhouette of Great Emperor Ziwei. Were they somehow related?

However, Ye Futian still didn’t discover anything even after staring at the silhouettes for a long time.

“You still can’t find anything?” someone asked Ye Futian.

Ye Futian didn’t turn around. He merely shook his head quietly. His gaze was fixed on the sky above. He said in a low voice, “I can’t find it. It is as though it never existed. I have tried a few times to no avail.”

Everyone fell silent when they heard his words. Even Ye Futian said that he couldn’t locate the last star. It was most likely truly hard to be found.

The others would have an even harder time trying to locate the last star.

Could it be that the secrets of the starry sky would remain unfathomable even with all the monstrous figures from various realms gathered here?

If that was the case, the best inheritance they could get was the power unleashed from communicating and resonating with the few Imperial Stars. As for the secrets of Great Emperor Ziwei, they would remain hidden in this endless starry sky for future generations to discover.

“If we simultaneously communicate with all the Imperial Stars found and make the divine lights fall from the stars, would it help to unravel the secrets?” suggested someone. This suggestion caused many people to reveal strange expressions. Was this idea worth a try?

“We can try,” said a cultivator who had resonated with one of the Imperial Stars.

“Since we can’t find it with other ways, there’s no harm trying it,” seconded another cultivator who had also resonated with an Imperial Star. It seemed like many of them agreed to try out this method. Ye Futian glanced at them and then nodded in agreement. Since they were all out of ideas, they could only attempt whatever was possible.

Immediately, Ye Futian, Blind Tie, Gu Dongliu, and the others went to the Imperial Stars that they had communicated with, respectively. The other cultivators also took their positions. This time, they began to communicate with the Imperial Stars in the sky together.

Not long after, divine light shone down from the heavens. Seven consecutive beams of divine light shone down at the same time. For a moment, the entire starry sky was lit up. It was extremely dazzling to behold. It was as though seven pillars of divine light had descended and were holding up this starry world.

Ye Futian was bathed in the divine light of one of these Imperial Stars. At the same time, he observed the other locations. The seven beams of divine light did not interfere with one another, as though there was no connection between them at all.

The starry sky also did not show any signs of response. Everything seemed normal.

The other cultivators observed the changes in the starry sky. They saw the starlight flowing, but it did not appear to have any pattern to it.

After some time, Ye Futian stopped communicating with the Imperial Star and retracted himself from that state.

As he looked at the starry world, he felt a sense of helplessness. He still had not obtained anything.

Throughout all these years, the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace had most likely failed in many attempts as well.

Right now, Ye Futian was certain that the cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace had also resonated with the Imperial Stars here. As for how many stars the latter could establish a connection with, he did not know. However, they were most likely also exploring how to unravel the secrets left behind by Great Emperor Ziwei.

Unfortunately, up until now, no one managed to unveil the secrets yet.

They had attempted many methods to no avail.

Ye Futian’s pupils turned exceptionally bizarre as he stared at the stars in the sky. He could see the starlight flowing, forming a star chart. The starlight flowed towards where the seven Imperial Stars were. It was as though the seven stars were seven points of focus that were endlessly absorbing all the starlight.

“Huh?” Ye Futian revealed a strange expression. Observing from the outside seemed to give off a different sensation than when he was among the stars.

The vast star chart seemed to have some sort of unique pattern, yet it felt as though it could not be traced. However, right then, Ye Futian felt a ray of hope!
