Ye Futian also comprehended the three swords together with the others. Before this, even Supreme Swordlord had not been enlightened after comprehending here. Ye Futian faintly sensed that these three swords might contain extraordinary swordsmanship.

Usually, the teachings of Sword Emperors could be contained within one sword. Since this Great Emperor had left behind three divine swords, there was naturally a reason for this.

Ye Futian sat cross-legged and faced the three swords. The others followed suit. All of them were comprehending the swords. To the side, Gu Dongliu cultivated quietly. He continued to comprehend the teachings he had acquired prior to this. He had just inherited the will of Undying Great Emperor and still needed some time to digest what he had learned. There was no need for him to learn new swordsmanship now.

As for the others, they could only comprehend from a distance and were not qualified to approach the swords.

Other people came afterward and saw this scene. After asking around, they understood the situation. They did not dare to approach either. After all, although a relic was involved, their lives were more important. If they lost their lives, what use was a relic?

Time passed. Ye Futian was completely immersed in comprehending swordsmanship. He entered into the world of the Sword Wills.

These three swords contained three different Sword Wills. They were all distinct, and he needed to comprehend them separately.

However, Ye Futian did not seek to completely understand any one of them now. Instead, he first differentiated the three Sword Wills.

He discovered that the sword on the left contained an indestructible will. This sword was compatible with Ye Wuchen.

The sword in the middle was the most complicated one. It was a sword matrix. The sword matrix transformed into a Sword Realm and could lure cultivators into it. Cultivators would enter into the world of the sword when they came in contact with the Sword Realm.

The sword on the right sent shivers straight to the very core of Ye Futian’s spiritual soul. The aura emanated by this sword was unique. It was not as sharp, but it was equally dangerous as the other two. It could slice the spiritual souls of the cultivators.

After Ye Futian comprehended the three Sword Wills, he opened his eyes and looked at the three swords. He had a strange look.

Before this, he had believed that these three swords might be three Sword Wills that a Great Emperor had been proficient in. However, now he felt that each Sword Will was unique and was extremely powerful. They each represented a pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Could it be that the three swords represented the swordsmanship of three Great Emperors?

If that was the case, then it might be that it was not one person who left behind these three swords. They might be formed from the wills of three Great Emperors.

As he thought of this, Ye Futian glanced behind him. Before this, he had allowed the group to cultivate on their own. However, after sensing the Sword Wills of the three swords, he suddenly had an idea. They might as well give his idea a try.

“Wuchen, you comprehend the sword on the left. Yaya, you comprehend the sword in the middle. Swordmaster of Lihen, you comprehend the sword on the right,” Ye Futian said to the three of them.

Each of them corresponded to one of the three swords. The swordsmanship that they were proficient in coincidentally matched the three Sword Wills.

“All right.” The three of them nodded in agreement. In reality, after they had experienced the Sword Wills themselves, they had had the same thoughts as Ye Futian. They had realized that there was one sword out of the three that was most suitable for them.

The three of them entered into meditation. Ye Futian continued to comprehend the Sword Wills and was ready to lend them a hand.

Right at this moment, the Light of Buddha shone and enveloped the three of them. The light was akin to a lamp in the darkness, and the Buddhist light of wisdom. There was a Buddhist Voice reverberating in space, but the voice did not disturb the cultivators. Instead, it helped them to enter into a meditative state.

Ye Futian took a glance at the cultivator who had unleashed the Light of Buddha. She was none other than Hua Qingqing. With her eyes closed, she chanted and her Buddhist Voice susurrated. Her elegant silhouette appeared like a Buddhist lamp, leading them to the gates of wisdom.

Ye Futian was glad, but he was not surprised by her action. As the Buddhist lamp who had been cultivating beside The Buddha, it was natural for Hua Qingqing to have great wisdom. The Buddhist sects had unique ways of enlightening their cultivators. It was not strange for Hua Qingqing to possess some special techniques that could aid the others in cultivation.

When the others saw this scene, they understood that they were most likely just bystanders. These three swords already had owners. However, the rest did not have any objections about this. After all, they knew about the relationship between Ye Wuchen and the other two with Ye Futian. Aside from this relationship, these three were indeed compatible with the three Sword Wills.

Ye Futian also continued to comprehend the three Sword Wills. Time passed slowly. The space was exceptionally quiet. No one disturbed them. Later on, Lord Chen, Chen Yi, and the others ended up standing guard behind them, preventing others from disturbing them.

Their cultivation did not go as smoothly as Ye Futian had imagined. He stopped cultivating occasionally and shared his findings with Ye Wuchen and the other two. Even so, several months passed before Ye Wuchen began to resonate with the sword.

Then, with the help of Ye Futian and Hua Qingqing, Yaya and the Swordmaster of Lihen also began to resonate with their swords and entered into the world of the sword.

However, they still had not been acknowledged by the three swords and could not receive the teachings of the Great Emperors.

Right then, a dazzling scene appeared. Sword light circled around the three swords as the Sword Wills flowed down from the swords. They landed on the figures of Ye Wuchen, Yaya, and the Swordmaster of Lihen. This caused their figures to glow brilliantly. Sword Wills flowed around them, and they seemed to become one with the swords.

The Light of Buddha enveloped the three of them. They still had their eyes shut tightly as they focused on comprehending. They wanted to advance further.

However, they remained like this for a long time. The Sword Wills on their bodies grew more powerful, but they felt as though they were still one step away from success.

Right then, Ye Futian opened his eyes and stared at the three swords ahead. His eyes lit up as he said, “I get it now.”

“The three swords are three Sword Wills respectively. They were left behind by three Great Emperors. However, these three Great Emperors might have already been in sync and merged the three swords into a complete sword matrix,” said Ye Futian. “Try to sync your thoughts and merge your swordsmanship into one.”

The three of them did not say anything, but they did as Ye Futian said.

The three Sword Wills became interwoven. Sword light circled around them, and they began to surrender everything to each other.

Ye Futian did not continue to comprehend and cultivate, instead watching them from the side. This process lasted for a long while until the three Sword Wills merged together and were inseparable. Sword Realms enveloped the three figures and immediately the three swords shot out dazzling divine halos that similarly interweaved with each other.

Right at this moment, an extremely dazzling scene appeared in the minds of the three cultivators. They seemed to see the incarnations of the three ancient Great Emperors appear in their minds. Then, the Sword Wills of the three swords frenziedly surged into their bodies. The swords themselves became ethereal and gradually merged with them.

When the sword light completely entered their bodies, the three of them remained sitting there. Sword Wills circled around their figures. The three swords before them had already disappeared.

They succeeded, the others thought.

The hearts of the crowd were trembling. Hua Qingqing also retracted her Light of Buddha. The surrounding cultivators looked at the three of them, somewhat envious of them. What had they obtained?

The three of them were still immersed in their own cultivations. Clearly, all this could not be digested quickly.

Ye Futian and the others waited patiently. Many cultivators from Ziwei Imperial Palace were envious of the three. The three of them had received the teachings of the Great Emperors together.

As time passed, more and more relics and teachings of the Great Emperors would be seized by other forces. There were fewer and fewer opportunities left. The cultivators wondered whether they too would have a chance to receive something.

The group waited for a few more days. One day, a terrifying aura loomed over the sky. It was actually a divine tribulation.

Whose tribulation was this, everyone wondered in awe. Prior to this, Ye Wuchen had undergone a Divine Tribulation of the Great Path. So who would receive this tribulation? Was it Yaya or the Swordmaster of Lihen?

Many cultivators of Ziwei Imperial Palace were seniors to Ye Wuchen and the other two. However, the juniors had had more fateful encounters and, thus, they would undergo the tribulation first.

Ye Wuchen, Yaya, and the Swordmaster of Lihen rose to the sky at the same time and occupied different spots. A menacing Sword Realm appeared in the sky.

The three of them were becoming one!

The crowd all looked up at the sky. An awe-inspiring sword matrix diagram appeared around Yaya and covered the vast space. Ye Wuchen and the Swordmaster of Lihen each stood at a corner of the sword matrix and wielded a sword.

“It is a double divine tribulation for two people,” someone said.

In the heavens above, Clouds of Catastrophe churned and the scene was appalling. It was actually a double tribulation. Both Yaya and the Swordmaster of Lihen would undergo the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path together, right here, right now.

The light of catastrophe descended and struck the Sword Realm, but it was negated right away.

The three of them had just inherited the Sword Wills of three Great Emperors. They were not afraid of the divine tribulation.

As Ye Futian had expected, the light of catastrophe charged down continuously, but the three of them remained unperturbed. Yaya and the Swordmaster of Lihen easily passed the Divine Tribulation of the Great Path.

Now, Yaya and the Swordmaster of Lihen had also reached the Tribulation Plane.

Their three figures floated down. They looked at Ye Futian with looks of astonishment.

“It is a sword matrix formed by three Great Emperors,” said Yaya as she looked at Ye Futian.

The Swordmaster of Lihen added, “The three Great Emperors are all Sword Emperors. They are all from the same sect and are of one mind. They are called the Three Sword Emperors and they created an ancient supersword matrix: the Deicide Sword Matrix.”

The name of the sword matrix was the Deicide Sword Matrix.

“The three swords each have their own names. I have inherited Spirit Slayer,” stated Ye Wuchen.

“Mine is Spirit Separator,” exclaimed the Swordmaster of Lihen.

“Mine’s Spirit Slicer,” said Yaya.

The Three Sword Emperors each passed down one form of swordsmanship: Spirit Slayer, Spirit Separator, and Spirit Slicer. When the three swordsmanships became one, they formed the Deicide Sword Matrix.

When Ye Futian heard these words, he revealed a look of joy. They had obtained the teachings of three Great Emperors in one attempt, and their swordsmanship could be combined to become a supersword matrix. He naturally was happy. One could imagine how terrifying the Deicide Sword Matrix formed by three Sword Emperors was. They were most likely top-level existences even among Great Emperors.

Otherwise, they would not dare give the sword matrix such a domineering name.
