The Legend of Futian

In the vast sea of ​​clouds, the Black Wind Condor shuttled through the clouds and mist at an extremely fast speed.

On the back of Black Wind Condor’s massive body, there was a group of people, some were sitting, and some were standing.

The Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island was dressed in all red, standing in front, emanating a majestic elegance. Baimu stood quietly behind her. This time the fact that her master agreed to come along with him had shocked Baimu. Not only that, but her master even claimed that Eastern Deity Island might be handed over to Ye Futian in the future; this was holding Ye Futian in the highest esteem.

Ye Futian sat quietly behind them, with Xia Qingyuan sitting on his left side, while Beigong Ao and Beigong Shuang were on his right. Zi Feng sat alone in front near the head of the Little Condor. Occasionally, the Little Condor would tease her, but Zi Feng had no interest in engaging him.

Such a group of people may seem like a strange combination, but they were interacting harmoniously.

At the moment, Ye Futian was drinking with Beigong Ao. Of course, the wine was brought from Eastern Deity Island, precious delicacies with the Way hidden in the wine, one would be losing out to pass it over.

“Baimu, come and have a few drinks with us,” Ye Futian said to Baimu, who was standing there.

Baimu looked at Ye Futian, then at her master in front of her. Since the master was here, she still had to pay attention to her manners. If she was no longer the only one to accompany Ye Futian, she might be able to be a little more casual.

“Island Lord, the journey is long. Why not come over and have a few drinks?” Ye Futian called out. The Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island turned her head and looked at Ye Futian. Ye Futian smiled and said, “The wine is from Eastern Deity Island; if you don’t drink it, then there will be more for me.”

Baimu was somewhat speechless. This guy really didn’t hesitate to speak his mind. On Eastern Deity Island, no one dared to speak to her master like that.

Her master seldom revealed herself, and she was not fond of words. However, she was authoritative and uncompromising, nonetheless, extremely decisive in her action. There were no simple folks who could cultivate to the pinnacle of Renhuang; their mind, means, and courage could not be affected by ordinary folks.

The Island Lord walked over to Ye Futian and sat down in front of him. Ye Futian smiled and took out a wine glass to pour for her. He then raised his glass and said, “Now we are all one family, and addressing you as Island Lord sounds way too formal. The Island Lord is older than me and a descendent of the Supreme Deity. As half of a disciple of the Supreme Deity, how about addressing you as Senior Sister in the future?”

“…” Next to her, Baimu was dumbfounded. If Ye Futian was to call her master Senior Sister, then, did this mean she would have to call him Uncle-Master?

This…

Island Lord now became Senior Sister. This guy was so truly audacious!!!

Beigong Ao lowered his head and smiled slyly. This kid was indeed quite a character, resorting to all these relations, such as this Senior Sister business.

This relationship suddenly got a lot closer, and because the other party held Ye Futian in high regard, most likely they would not refuse him.

Sure enough, the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island nodded and said, “It’s up to you.”

“Then it’s settled.” Ye Futian smiled and said, “I, as the Junior Brother, should drink first.”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp. Seeing his action, the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island also raised the glass and followed suit.

“We are no longer in Eastern Deity Island, so we won’t address you as ‘Island Lord’ anymore. How about Goddess Donglai? Please,” Beigong Ao said, raising the glass with both hands. The Island Lord was a descendent of Supreme Deity Donglai, with the last name Donglai. Therefore, Goddess Donglai was a fitting title for her.

Goddess Donglai had another glass and asked Beigong Ao, “Why do you choose to follow him?”

Beigong Ao was now in the Eighth Realm and had great opportunities at Eastern Deity Island. She wanted to know why Beigong Ao did not choose to return to his own continent to be number one, but choose to follow someone of a younger generation.

“Even Goddess Donglai is willing to accompany him to come out for trials. What reason do I have not to?” Beigong Ao said with a smile. It was as if he didn’t say anything, yet everything was said. The reason was simple. Why would Goddess Donglai be willing to accompany him? Then Beigong Ao would have no reason not to do the same.

The two were only one level apart, but there was, in fact, a huge gap between them. They were not at the same level, whether in status or strength.

Goddess Donglai nodded; she understood that very well now.

“Sister, the memory I got from the Supreme Deity was a little fragmented; what happened back then? The other side went against Supreme Deity, but why leave Eastern Deity Island untouched?” Ye Futian asked.

“My father had some friends back then. The other party had done some unjustifiable deeds, and couldn’t go to the extreme and was subjected to some restraints,” Said Goddess Donglai. Supreme Deity Donglai was a master-level top alchemist, with many friends and people who owed him favors, and some of them were powerful individuals.

Ye Futian nodded. “But such danger has always existed. This hidden danger was the reason why Eastern Deity Island had endured this for many years silently, avoiding any outings, just to accumulate strength?”

“Endure? Accumulate strength?” Goddess Donglai glanced at him, and there seemed to be a self-deprecating smile on that stunningly beautiful face. “I guess you are half-right. Not enduring in silence, but we dared not leave, dared not be visible. As for enduring in silence and accumulating our strength, it is probably just some wishful thinking on our part. Even if we accumulated enough power to sweep all of Penglai, it is meaningless. If we cannot produce a top figure, no one would pay any attention to us. Today’s Eastern Deity Island is unworthy.”

As she spoke, she raised the glass and drank up by herself. Her tone seemed to be tinged with some sadness.

Eastern Deity Island was unworthy.

What others perceived as silent endurance was actually Eastern Deity Island’s wishful thinking. They did want to save their strength and improve themselves, but that made very little sense in reality. Unless there could be a peak existence one day…

“So…” Ye Futian listened to what the other said and started to understand a little better.

“So, there you have it,” Goddess Donglai said. Ye Futian had given a glimmer of hope for Eastern Deity Island. On Ye Futian, she saw the potential for him to become a giant. Therefore, she was even willing to give him the entire Eastern Deity Island and accompany him for trials and cultivation.

There was only one goal, and that was to help Ye Futian reach the top.

At Eastern Deity Island, she had observed Ye Futian’s behavior and found that he was good to those around him. If she could assist him and turn over all of Eastern Deity Island to him, he would at least have a sense of belonging toward Eastern Deity Island. Whether he would be willing to take revenge on behalf of Eastern Deity Island was something else. Still, if he climbed to the top, Eastern Deity Island would be freed and would no longer be living in fear of moving around at will or being too visible and causing trouble.

She had named Ye Futian as the second Island Lord, and she was willing to go so far as to abdicate and make way for Ye Futian in the future. Of course, it was all for a purpose. Handing Eastern Deity Island to him for preservation. This was the foundation left by her father, and she didn’t want to see it disintegrate one day and became the dust of history.

“If you reach the top one day, I will give you Eastern Deity Island. I hope you can accept it.” Goddess Donglai’s beautiful eyes were looking directly at Ye Futian.

Only at this moment did Ye Futian finally understood her intention. Eastern Deity Island was not enduring in silence, but it was the fear of being too visible. To teach the world of opportunity of the Great Path was only for recruitment purposes. Even if the Eastern Deity Island had recruited someone, not much could be changed. At the very least, someone like Jiang Jiuming would never agree to join Eastern Deity Island.

Ye Futian was an exception. Perhaps it was fortuitous for Eastern Deity Island that such a person was sent to them.

Everything was a destined coincidence.

“Very well, I accept.” Ye Futian nodded and made a toast to Goddess Donglai. His feeling toward Eastern Deity Island was very good, as they had gotten rid of the Jun family for him. Even as he partook the elixir and swallowed the divine tree, they had never threatened him, including those alchemy masters who were really quite lovely to him. Eastern Deity Island had always treated him with honesty, so it was not like he was influenced by those beautiful goddesses and the Island Lord…

After having received so many favors, it was so that he would take over Eastern Deity Island in the future. He had no reason to refuse such a request.

“Mmm.” Goddess Donglai nodded. Ye Futian’s promise was much relief to her, so she replied softly, “Thank you.”

“I should be the one to thank you,” Ye Futian said. “Senior sister, where are you planning on taking me this time?”

The Divine Prefecture was vast. With Goddess Donglai as his guide on this trip, he need not worry about anything; Goddess Donglai was more familiar with the Divine Prefecture than him.

“It’s to pave the way for you,” Goddess Donglai looked into the distance and whispered. She agreed to accept Ye Futian’s invitation this time because she had already given the matter a lot of consideration. Ye Futian’s appearance may attract the attention of their enemies, and if his performance was too dazzling, he might be in danger.

Therefore, she immediately agreed to go along with Ye Futian.

On this trip, she was going to take Ye Futian to the main continent in Donghua Domain, where there were old friends of her father. She intended to pave the way for Ye Futian so that if he were ever in real trouble in the future, there would be people who could protect him.

Ye Futian didn’t ask much, just nodded casually, while several of them continued to drink. Below the clouds and fog, they could see parts of the continents from time to time. They were passing through continents, one after another, and met many other cultivators on the way. Basically, these cultivators were all existences of the Renhuang realm so that they could travel over continents!
