The Legend of Futian

“The Flowering Tree is still in full bloom; who is this?” Someone exclaimed because it was just too spectacular. All the many branches and leaves on the towering ancient tree stretched toward the man, as thousands of flowers blooming. It was as if the whole world had turned into a world of flowers.

Countless many looked up at the man, and many exclaimed and inquired as to whom he might be. However, no one seemed to know of him.

“Who are these people?” Jun Qiuyan looked at the man and the group of people that were following behind him; he didn’t know any of them.

Everyone around him shook their heads and said, “Supreme Deity Donglai was someone who enjoyed great fame in Donghua Domain back in the days. Every time Eastern Deity Island opened up, some cultivators from far away would come; some kept quite a low profile, and this man might be of the same likeness.”

Jun Qiuyan nodded slightly; he had heard about that before. Judging from the blooming of this Flowering Tree, it might yield thousands of flowers, which would be quite a sight.

The Goddesses of Eastern Deity Island who came in through Eastern Deity Gate were asking each other about the identity of the man, but still, no one knew.

The Flowering Tree blossomed with thousands of flowers. Its luscious beauty had stained the sky with color. The man who was standing on top of the Flowering Tree was unparalleled. It was as if he was surveying all the mountains, standing there on the ancient tree.

The young man turned his back to the others. He deeply felt the aura of the Flowering Tre; it was as if it was in tune with the Way of the world, befitting its reputation as a miraculous ancient tree.

He lifted his feet and walked forward as those who followed behind him left with him in the direction of Eastern Deity Island.

After he left, some other people flickered toward the Flowering Tree. However, no one could achieve such a grand gesture again as he did, as if he had been the most successful of those who tried.

“The cultivators from Qitian Pavilion are going that way.” At this moment, someone looked yonder and saw a group of cultivators, clad in luxurious clothing, walking toward the Flowering Tree. Many had recognized them as those from Qitian Pavilion, the preaching holy land that belonged to Penglai Deity Island.

“Qitian Pavilion.” Ye Futian heard the murmuring amongst the people around him. Qitian Pavilion, like Dongyuan Pavilion, was the holy land left by the Great Emperor in the Divine Prefecture. However, Qitian Pavilion was the holy land left in the Penglai Continent, controlled and managed by all the main principalities there, of which the Qitian Dynasty was the greatest and most powerful.

This force overpowered the entire Penglai Continent so that even the Jun family where Jun Qiuyan came from was lesser by comparison.

Qitian Dynasty took charge of Qitian Pavilion and selected a group of top competitors to cultivate there, and they were known as Qitian Pavilion cultivators. Those who set foot onto the ancient Flowering Tree at this moment were these cultivators.

“The prince of Qitian Dynasty, Renhuang sixth Realm.” Beigong Ao whispered as Ye Futian nodded. It seemed that Beigong Ao had some understanding of the forces inside Penglai Continent.

The figure that was standing at the highest point of the Flowering Tree was the prince of Qitian Dynasty. He was dressed in a gorgeous robe, majestic and noble, at the peak of middle Renhuang. The release of his aura of the Great Path had made the Flowering Tree bloomed brilliantly in divine glory, but still, they were not as gorgeous as they had been before.

The lore spoke of 108 thousand flowers in bloom. But that previous cultivator had only yielded more than ten thousand flowers, and at the moment, the Prince of Qitian Dynasty had only achieved a bloom of a few thousand flowers. As for the other cultivators from Qitian Pavilion, there were even fewer, as not many flowers were flocking toward them.

On and off, there were people who stepped forward to try, but no one could surpass the young man before.

“I’ll give it a try.” Beside Ye Futian and the others, someone now walked forward. It was Beigong Shuang. She was curious about her own potential of the Great Path.

Ye Futian was about to leave, but when he saw Beigong Shuang went over there, he stopped again and looked over yonder.

“Come on,” said Ye Futian as he trailed behind Beigong Shuang.

“It’s them.” Many people recognized him because of the previous conflict between Ye Futian and Jun Qiuyan. Beigong Shuang seemed to be the woman who was almost killed on the spot by Jun Qiuyan’s people.

“Let’s go.” Jun Qiuyan had an indifferent expression on his face when he saw Ye Futian and the others. Many expressed a look of interest when they saw Jun Qiuyan and his people.

Could it be that they would continue also?

“Let’s join in the fun together.” Many people from Penglai Continent moved forward with them to the towering ancient tree with high spirits.

Beigong Shuang was the first to step into the area where the ancient tree was located. She released the aura of the Great Path, and suddenly, the ancient tree swayed as many flowers bloomed toward her, covering her like a nymph. The blooming flowers of the Great Path she evoked were not much less than the likes, such as the prince of the Qitian Dynasty. This meant that she had great potential of the Great Path and that her perception and comprehension of the Great Path were far beyond ordinary Renhuang.

Ye Futian was also a little surprised by it. It seemed that Beigong Shuang’s talent in the Great Path was relatively stronger among all the Renhuang. Beigong Ao favored this daughter of his very much and had always allowed her to concentrate on cultivation, and this was probably the reason why.

Jun Qiuyan frowned and huffed silently. They walked straight forward and came to the Flowering Tree. Ye Futian had been on guard for their presence, and seeing Jun Qiuyan moving forward, they also followed him, as wisps of aura of the Great Path permeated the atmosphere.

Jun Qiuyan stepped onto the Flowering Tree, releasing the aura of the Great Path from his body, perceiving the rich Great Path between the heaven and earth that existed here. In this instance, a clattering sound was heard, as an extremely brilliant radiance also bloomed at the same time and flooded the sky with it. Countless flowers blossomed at the same time, enveloping this space as if to swallow everyone within it.

“What’s going on?” Jun Qiuyan was stunned by this sudden turn of events. He felt the flowers that were blooming madly, and at first, he was surprised, then a strong sense of expectation and excitement loomed in his heart. This strange occurrence happened when he stepped onto the tree. What did it all mean?

Boom, boom, boom…

At this moment, the crowd was shocked to find that the entire Flowering Tree was shaking, and even the great island itself was trembling as the sea was roaring also. The atmosphere of the Great Path above the firmament rushed toward the Flowering Tree madly so that even the towering ancient tree seemed to be greatly excited, wanting to lift up from the ground.

Even the Goddesses of Eastern Deity Island were stunned by this sudden sight. They had never beheld anything remotely like it ever, not even in the history of the past thousand years.

They only knew that the Flowering Tree was supernatural, but at the moment, just what had happened to make the Flowering Tree so jubilant?

“Is it all because of Jun Qiuyan?” They looked at each other and then at Jun Qiuyan, who had just walked up onto the Flowering Tree. If so, Eastern Deity Island must carefully consider its relationship with the Jun family, and it would be in their interest to allow Jun Qiuyan to cultivate at Eastern Deity Island!
