Chapter 1898 - Holy Land on the Island

Chapter 1898 Holy Land on the Island
Impossible…
Bai Mu and the other cultivators of Eastern Deity Island were shocked by what they saw. Although the Flowering Tree had become still, its leaves and branches still swayed, giving off a rustling sound. It seemed sad, as though it had been abandoned.Even though those cultivators were still there, the Flowering Tree seemed to ignore them.

This situation was unheard of. Even those who had cultivated at Eastern Deity Island had never heard of such a thing happening.


Someone is deliberately hiding,
came a voice. One of the Goddesses was speaking. A strange look came over everyone’s faces. They had guessed this as well.
They looked up at the figures above the Flowering Tree. However, they were all covered in the radiance of the Great Path, including Ye Futian. A halo revolved around him, flashing brilliantly.
He stood upon the Black Wind Condor’s back, looking left and right. With a single thought, the Black Wind Condor flapped its wings and flew forward, taking Beigong Shuang and the others away from the flowering tree.
Everyone else looked all around them, but they could not find the reason why. They did not know who it was.
But among them was hidden an immensely powerful figure.
Each of the cultivators strode away from that place. It seemed that they would not be able to find who it was.
Jun Qiuyan watched Ye Futian and the others as they disappeared off into the distance. A cold light flashed in his eyes, full of murderous intent.
He did not want to guess whether or not it had been Ye Futian. But Ye Futian had left Eastern Deity Island alive.


Let’s go.
He walked away as well. Behind, some people were walking onto the impossibly massive Flowering Tree. But no brilliance appeared like it had before. The tree had become still again, as if it was too lazy to move.
It was as if no one could get the Flowering Tree to bloom for them.
This made looks of fury come over the faces of the cultivators who had been behind. They were extremely unhappy with this turn of events. They felt like they were being looked down upon by a tree. But there was nothing they could do. It was not like they could attack a tree.
They could do nothing but leave in a huff.
This made it so that the people who were even further behind were not even willing to go up to the tree. They just walked on by, not willing to let the tree despise them.
Soon, the vast group of cultivators had all left.
The cultivators of Eastern Deity Island watched everything in a daze. They felt like they were in a dream. This was completely different than the way it had always happened before.
They were all wondering who the person hidden in the crowd who had made the tree act strangely had been.
And why had he hidden?
Moreover, there had been someone else there before that person, someone enchanting and mysterious who had made the flowers bloom. He must also have been an extraordinary person.

No matter what the people who had come behind them were like, there were those among the cultivators who had come to Eastern Deity Island who were crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Could it be him?
A thoughtful look came over Bai Mu’s face. She looked off into the distance, thinking of one person only: Ye Futian.
That man was incredibly talented. When he had clashed with Jun Qiuyan previously, she had discovered that his Divine Wheel was perfect. And he was extremely cruel and decisive, showing no mercy to his enemies. He had even slain Jun Qiuyan’s people.
Ye Futian’s talent was beyond any doubt. So, could he have been the one who was hiding himself?
Ye Futian had been there in front of the Flowering Tree, alone with Jun Qiuyan and the others. Moreover, judging from Ye Futian and Jun Qiuyan’s power, Ye Futian was a little bit more outstanding. So, it was more likely to be Ye Futian.
Thinking of this, another thought came into her head. It seemed like when she had asked Jun Qiuyan to let Ye Futian go and have a chance to come to Eastern Deity Island, she had done the right thing. Now, Ye Futian was here, and he was possibly the one who had been hiding. If it really was him, she would implore the people of the island to protect him. In fact, she might not need to say anything. The island would not let him come to harm.

Let’s go.
Her figure flashed as she left, moving forward. The others followed her.
Ye Futian did not think too much about it. He had just not wanted to become the target of public criticism, so he didn’t bother to expose himself. As for whether or not Eastern Deity Island thought highly of him, he basically didn’t care.
Now, he just wanted to see if he would have a chance to increase his power on Eastern Deity Island.
There was not just a single island in the area of Eastern Deity Island. Rather, it was an archipelago.

The ocean here in this wonderland was vast, and mist filled the air. It was like a magical sea.
Upon this mystical sea stood mystical isles. Each one was different, and they each gave off powerful auras.
In the past, the Supreme Deity Donglai had been the greatest figure and was skilled at alchemy. He had created a world here that was considered by many to be a true holy land for cultivation. There were many methods used in Eastern Deity Island and powerful alchemy. When the Supreme Deity Donglai was at the height of his power, many people had come here to study medicine. Many of them wanted to study under Supreme Deity Donglai.
At that time, Eastern Deity Island was the absolute king of the mainland. There were not other top powers, like Penglai Deity Island was today.

What is that?
At that moment, Ye Futian looked off into the distance. He saw that one of the islands was covered by terrible lightning and suffused with lightning will. Even from a distance, he would still clearly feel the power hidden there.
At that moment, many cultivators were already heading towards the island and standing outside it.

It looks like a person,
said Ye Futian, shuddering as he looked at the island .The endless lightning will flowed, forming what looked like a human figure. It looked like a god of lightning, standing there above the island with waves of lightning will sweeping out from it off into the distance. All the people standing near could clearly feel the hidden killing power in that lightning will. It seemed like they would be directly wiped out by the wave of lightning will.
The whole island seemed to be covered by the god of lightning. The figure thrust its arms forward and slammed them down into the island, forming a destructive curtain of lightning that covered the island.

There is a tablet there,
said Helian You. She looked at the lightning covered island. One side of the island was a thousand foot tall cliff, smooth as if it had been cut off by lightning. It had formed a huge tablet into which characters had been carved.

Those were left by a powerful figure. In the past, many people came here to learn about medicine from Supreme Deity Donglai, but he would not give them the knowledge for free. Thus, those who came had to pay a price. Thus, many ruins of holy lands appeared upon Eastern Deity Island, left behind by those top figures who had come here to learn about medicine,
said Emperor Helian.
Ye Futian and the others continued forward. They saw that there were many people standing before the cliffside tablet, floating in the air and looking at the characters. A history was carved there, recording the story of a powerful figure who had come to learn about medicine and had left behind the will of a lightning god.

Now wonder Eastern Deity Island is so enticing,
said Ye Futian.
When Supreme Deity Donglai was here, the island must have been even more magnificent.


Mm,
said Emperor Helian, nodding.
It was a true holy land. Countless cultivators strove to be the first to come here, but it was very difficult to get in. There was a very high bar to entry. Those who were not geniuses could not enter. Unfortunately, Eastern Deity Island has declined since the fall of Supreme Deity Donglai. It has been hidden on this island for many years, and only opens once every ten years.


Who is the master of Eastern Deity Island now?
asked Ye Futian.
Emperor Helian and Beigong Ao both shook their heads.
We do not know. But Eastern Deity Island has been gathering its strength for many years. Now we don’t even know how powerful they are!
