The Legend of Futian

Little Condor naturally could tell that this phoenix was incredible, much more so than he was.

Now, this brat actually wanted to follow Master to train in the outside world. Wasn’t she trying to fight for Master’s favor with Condor sama?

The crucial point was that this brat was female and was beautiful.

It was too much of a challenge for Condor sama.

“Alright,” Ye Futian replied as he nodded his head. He naturally would not reject a Sacred Phoenix from following him. This Sacred Phoenix had unlimited potential and could cultivate to become a top-tier demonic existence.

There were many demonic beasts in the world, yet there were a rare few that could cultivate to become a top-tier demonic beast.

By cultivating the Divine Fire of Wutong, Sacred Phoenix, who had a flawless Great Path, would have a chance.

Eastern Deity Island Island Lord also agreed to let her pursue her own cultivation. That way, Ye Futian could establish his relationship with Eastern Deity Island. After he left Eastern Deity Island, the pressure from the Jun clan of the Penglai Continent would naturally be solved.

“What about the Divine Fire of Wutong?” Ye Futian asked as he smiled at Zi Feng.

Zi Feng revealed a strange look. The Divine Fire of Wutong was in the wutong. She could only rely on its power to cultivate. It was difficult to take it with her.

“Can I try and see whether we can take it with you?” Ye Futian said to Zi Feng. Zi Feng’s beautiful eyes revealed a strange look as she looked at him. She could take the Divine Fire with her?

Then, before this, when he played the guqin and approached her… Why did she feel as though she had been conned?

“That is if you need it. If you don’t need it, then forget about it,” Ye Futian continued with a smile. His gaze was gentle and made others feel very comfortable. Zi Feng looked him in the eye. He did not seem like a trickster.

She had already made arrangements with Elder Sister Island Lord. She naturally could not change her mind.

However, could he truly bring the Divine Fire of Wutong along with them?

In front of them, Jiang Jiuming turned his head back and glanced at Zi Feng and Ye Futian. He never imagined that the offspring of Lord Phoenix would actually follow Ye Futian willingly. As expected, this person was extremely outstanding; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to emerge victorious in the game of chess and enter through the Eastern Deity Gate.

The group continued advancing. Bai Mu, who was beside Ye Futian, said to him, “Island Lord has ordered us to prepare a banquet and to also allow you to select pills.”

“Many thanks,” Ye Futian replied as he nodded his head. The group continued forward and passed by many places. The Core Island of Eastern Deity Island was like a painting. It was a sight to behold. Walking around here made people feel comfortable, like they were encapsulated in its poetic beauty.

Finally, they came before an ancient palace. A banquet was already laid out. Many goddesses were standing in various locations, seeming there to welcome them.

Such a scale made Ye Futian and the others feel flattered. Eastern Deity Island’s standing was extraordinary. They bestowed cultivators with fateful encounters of the Great Path and also gifted them pills. They also treated them so well that there was nothing for them to nitpick about.

“Everyone, please be seated. Make yourselves comfortable,” Goddess Huang announced with a smile. The group immediately found their seats. Goddess Huang brought Jiang Jiuming to the head seat. After all, the status of the ancient royal family Jiang clan needed to be respected.

Ye Futian did not mind. His group simply found a spot to sit in the center of the crowd. Bai Mu was also taking care of them, occasionally chatting with them.

There were many seats in front of the banquet, seemingly prepared for the other cultivators of Eastern Deity Island. Aside from that, at the very front, there was a master seat that was reserved for the master of this banquet.

“Island Lord will come in person momentarily,” Bai Mu explained softly when she saw Ye Futian glancing over in that direction.

Ye Futian nodded. He had never imagined that Eastern Deity Island would be so grand.

Voices could be heard coming from nearby. The crowd turned their gazes in the direction of the voices. They saw a group of silhouettes, who were talking casually to each other, appear. These people had an outstanding temperament, and their cultivation was all at the Renhuang Plane. Some had dignified appearances, while others had elegant airs to them.

Previously, every person the crowd had seen was a woman. This group of silhouettes that appeared was all men.

“It is Emperor Pingyuan,” Shangguan Qiuye said at that moment as she narrowed her gaze slightly. She was focused on one person among them. Her beautiful eyes revealed a strange look.

Two other Penglai Continent cultivators also made sounds. They also seemed to call out someone’s name. They had clearly recognized someone.

Ye Futian looked at Shangguan Qiuye. As she looked over there, she explained, “He is a renowned Renhuang on Penglai Continent. He has been famous for a long time. Ten years ago, he entered Eastern Deity Island to cultivate. After coming back, he rarely appeared in public. I never thought that he had entered Eastern Deity Island again. It seems that the rumors were actually true.”

“What rumors?” Ye Futian asked.

“Many powerful Renhuangs who come to Eastern Deity Island to train will be invited to stay here to cultivate, becoming a member of the island. My clansmen once mentioned this before. I have heard of a few of these people. Today, I managed to see some of them with my own eyes. It still comes as a surprise,” Shangguan Qiuye explained. “There are actually so many cultivators here. There seem to be many famous figures from long ago among them.”

Ye Futian did not feel too surprised by this. Eastern Deity Island had invited cultivators from thousands of continents to come here to train. They provided many benefits to the cultivators. They naturally had their own agenda for doing so. It was impossible for them to do so purely just to aid the people of the world in their cultivation.

Eastern Deity Island should be planning to bolster their forces. This might be related to the fall of Eastern Deity Island’s Supreme Deity Donglai back then.

With so many prominent figures coming to Eastern Deity Island each time, how could Eastern Deity Island miss this opportunity? They would naturally extend invitations to Ye Futian and the rest. They would receive similar treatment as well.

On the other hand, the cultivators who came to Eastern Deity Island similarly wanted to rely on the resources of the island. Either that or Eastern Deity Island proposed enough favorable conditions to make the offer irresistible. If so, it was not strange for the cultivators to join Eastern Deity Island.

The cultivators who arrived chatted and laughed as they looked over at the people sitting here. Many of them revealed friendly smiles. From the appearances of the cultivators, they seemed to be living very fulfilled lives.

“Do you know who I am?” Emperor Pingyuan asked as he looked at Shangguan Qiuye. Prior to this, Shangguan Qiuye had not spoken through transmitted thoughts. She had been talking to them out loud. With Emperor Pingyuan’s level of cultivation, he naturally overheard her.

“Hmm,” Shangguan Qiuye replied, nodding her head. “I am Shangguan Qiuye from Shangguan clan. Pleased to meet you, Senior.”

“So you are the little girl from the Shangguan clan. You have reached such a high Plane to be able to come here. Not bad,” Emperor Pingyuan commented. His cultivation was powerful. He was now an eighth-tier existence. Shangguan Qiuye was indeed a junior in his eyes.

“Senior, have you been cultivating on Eastern Deity Island all this while?” Shangguan Qiuye asked.

“Most of the time. I will occasionally go outside,” Emperor Pingyuan replied. “Eastern Deity Island has many special training grounds as well as countless pills and Spirit Herbs suitable for cultivating. Little girl, you should also join Eastern Deity Island. It will certainly be greatly beneficial to your cultivation.”

Shangguan Qiuye smiled but did not give a reply. Emperor Pingyuan had praised Eastern Deity Island so highly. From the looks of it, these people were indeed sincere. Eastern Deity Island must have aided them in their cultivation with sufficient sincerity in order for these cultivators to actively invite other Renhuangs to join.

At that moment, there were cries of astonishment. Many goddesses bowed slightly in one direction and called out, “Island Lord.”

The crowd turned to look in that direction. They saw an empress-like silhouette walk over towards them. Her appearance was otherworldly; it made others feel enchanted at a glance. At the same time, those who gazed upon her felt a sense of distance between them, as though she was untouchable.

She was the Eastern Deity Island Island Lord. Shangguan Qiuye thought to herself. This was also her first time seeing the Island Lord. Prior to this, she had heard about her. Almost no one from the Penglai Continent had seen her before.

Island Lord’s beauty was peerless. She walked up to the master seat and looked at the crowd.

“Greeting, Island Lord.” Right now, even the powerful cultivators who just arrived also bowed slightly as they greeted the Island Lord. They seem to show this female Island Lord great respect.

“Everyone, you are all too kind,” Island Lord replied as she bowed back at the crowd with a smile. Her gaze shifted over to Ye Futian’s side. She said, “This time, Eastern Deity Island is open and once again has welcomed prominent figures from all over. This is a grand occasion for the island. Hence, we have invited you all here today for a few drinks. I hope you all won’t mind the short notice.”

“Island Lord is too kind,” someone said. Eastern Deity Island Island Lord had such a high status. She would definitely not be inferior when compared to the heads of the top forces of the Penglai Continent. For her to personally appear to sit with them was already a great honor.

“Everyone, you do not need to be so formal. Please sit,” Island Lord said as she extended her hand when she saw many people getting up. She also sat on her master seat. She looked at the crowd and said, “Eastern Deity Island has a rule that those who can make it here will be gifted with pills. Naturally, today will be no exception. I am sure that you all have been waiting for this moment for a long while.”

As she said this, she looked behind her. Nine silhouettes stepped forward. In each of their hands, they held a porcelain bottle. Inside, the bottles contained extremely precious pills of the Great Path.

“There are nine pills here. Each pill is a superb grade pill. The nine people who have made it here today can each choose one pill. Please choose,” the female Island Lord continued. The gazes of the crowd were all on the pills in the hands of the nine goddesses.

However, Jiang Jiuming still had his head lowered as he sat there quietly. He did not look at the pills.

Although these pills were precious for cultivating, for him, these were not that important.

The reason why he had come here was not for these pills, but for the Eastern Deity Island’s elixir!
