When Jiang Jiuming said this, many gazes immediately looked towards him.
The item that Senior Supreme Deity Donglai was seeking for back in the day?
What item was that?
Ye Futian revealed a curious look. He looked at Beigong Ao and the others beside him. He saw that Beigong Ao was also shaking his head. Clearly, Beigong Ao also did not know about it.
Did the legendary elixir actually exist? A thought surfaced in Shangguan Qiuye’s mind. There had indeed been such a rumor circulating within the Penglai Continent. It was rumored that Eastern Deity Island had an elixir and that Supreme Deity Donglai had not truly perished back then. Instead, he had kept sustaining his life with the nourishment of the elixir.
However, most people did not believe such rumors. Countless years had passed. It was impossible for Supreme Deity Donglai to still be alive.
Island Lord had her gaze similarly locked on Jiang Jiuming. Those beautiful eyes suddenly contained a formless pressure that landed on Jiang Jiuming.
These past few years, many people with agendas had made their way to Eastern Deity Island.
Jiang clan was an ancient royal family; it was not strange for Jiang Jiuming to know about this.
It was just that ever since so many people had failed back then, it had been a long time since anyone had made such a request. She never imagined that Jiang Jiuming would come here for this. Could it be that he thought that he was special?

Your level of attainment is still too low. If Renhuang Jiang had come, it might be possible,
the female Island Lord said with a smile. Her tone was somewhat unfriendly. Jiang Jiuming had actually come here, seeking the elixir.

How will I know if I don’t try?
Jiang Jiuming asked, not heeding the attitude of the Island Lord. He continued saying,
Even if there is no chance for me, I can at least broaden my horizons. I will have at least seen it before.


Are you sure you want to see it?
the Island Lord continued asking.
Jiang Jiuming nodded his head and replied,
Before coming here, I heard of how miraculous the elixir was. Hence, I wanted to see it. I used this opportunity to come to Eastern Deity Island for this reason. I hope Island Lord may grant my wish.

Island Lord lifted a wine glass and sipped it with her red lips. She then put it down and looked towards Jiang Jiuming. She immediately got up and came forward. Her long dress trailed behind her. She appeared graceful and dignified, as though she was a peerless empress.

Alright, since the ancient royal family, Jiang clan wants to see it, I will grant you your wish,
the Island Lord proclaimed loudly.
Follow me to the restricted area of Eastern Deity Island.


Yes,
many goddesses replied as they stood up and followed Island Lord. Many cultivators looked at each other. Most people also knew about this matter. However, no one had mentioned it before. This was the first time they had heard someone mention it upfront.
Would the Island Lord also allow them to see it?
What was the elixir actually like?
On Ye Futian’s side, their group was whispering amongst themselves. They were all discussing the elixir. Clearly, for many of them, the elixir of Eastern Deity Island was just the stuff of rumors. It was not real.
However, it seemed that it truly existed.
Island Lord was also leading them to take a look at it now.
Most of the crowd followed the Island Lord. Very quickly, a group of people was traversing through the sky above Eastern Deity Island. After a short while, they arrived at a vast expanse of herb forest.
Many cultivators were guarding this place. All sorts of precious and rare medicinal herbs and plants were grown here.
They passed over this place. Ye Futian glanced down at the ground below. He actually saw many precious plants that they had seen before on the island.
This region was filled with extremely rich signs of life.
As they advanced, they came before an ancient towering mountain. A crack was opened on the side of this mountain. A frightening aura emanated from within. It was a rich life aura that made everyone feel very comfortable.

The elixir is inside. If you want it, you can enter to retrieve it,
the Island Lord declared. This caused the crowd to reveal strange expressions.
Would Eastern Deity Island allow people to take the elixir so easily?
Of course, this was impossible.
That meant that the elixir was not so easily retrieved.
However, why was it that a mere pill could not be taken away?
Many people were filled with curiosity. Ye Futian looked at Jiang Jiuming. He saw that the other party had a very serious expression. Since he had come for the elixir, he clearly knew more about it than others. He should be clear about everything regarding the elixir.
From his expression, Ye Futian understood that the elixir would not be easy to obtain.
Island Lord did not say anything. She merely stood quietly to the side and watched them. Then, Jiang Jiuming led the Jiang clan cultivators forward. The rest of the crowd wanted to follow them, yet they were somewhat hesitant to do so. They were worried that the Island Lord would be dissatisfied, so they waited outside.
The group of cultivators from the Jiang clan very quickly disappeared into the crack of the ancient mountain, stepping into it. There, the frightening aura of the Great Path immediately cut off their wills. They were unable to sense what was inside. They could only see with their eyes, but they could not see clearly at all.
Rumble. The sound of intense collisions came from inside. It was as though intense currents of the Great Path were present within there.
Various sounds kept coming out from within. The rumbling continued without end. Beside Ye Futian, Zi Feng glanced ahead with a cold gaze. She had entered this place before.
Even a cultivator of the ancient royal family would not be able to take away the elixir.
As expected, not long after, the crowd saw silhouettes emerge from the crack. It was Jiang Jiuming and his group. They all appeared rather disheveled. Many of their clothes were tattered, and some were even injured. It was as though they had been through a huge battle.
This caused Ye Futian to reveal a strange expression. Wasn’t the elixir hidden within?
Why had they emerged in such a state? Could it be that the elixir could fight back?
That was impossible. Or could it be that the elixir had a guardian beast protecting it?
Jiang Jiuming revealed a look of disappointment. He saluted with his fists at the Island Lord and said,
Thank you very much for your generosity, Island Lord.


You are welcome,
Island Lord replied casually.
If anyone here is interested, you can continue to give it a try. As long as you can retrieve the elixir, it is yours.

These words were like a slap to the face. It was obvious that they would not be able to take the elixir away.
This scene caused Ye Futian to reveal a bizarre expression. From their conversation, it was clear that the elixir was indeed inside. Otherwise, the cultivators of the ancient royal family Jiang clan would not have spoken so politely.
Although the elixir was in there, no one could take it away.
It was not just Ye Futian. Everyone else was also filled with curiosity. They wanted to know what exactly had happened inside.
Island Lord obviously noticed the crowd’s interest. She looked towards the crack and said,
If you want to know, you can go inside and take a look. However, be careful.


Is the divine item, which was refined by the Supreme Deity Donglai back in the day, truly in there?
someone asked.

You will know if you go in and see for yourself. Since I allowed you to enter, I will not mind. If you want to, you may enter to take a look. If you can retrieve the elixir, that is fine as well,
Island Lord continued. She seemed extremely confident that no one could take away the elixir from the Eastern Deity Island’s restricted area.

If that is the case, there is no harm in letting an old man like me go in and have a look around,
an elder said as he walked into the crack. Very soon, the sound of an intense collision could be heard. Not long after, the elder also returned. He was similarly disheveled. His face revealed a bitter smile. Many people looked at him. He merely shook his head and commented,
The Creator is truly miraculous. You will understand when you see it yourself.

Upon hearing his words, even more cultivators were curious. Silhouettes entered into the crack one by one, only to return disappointed. Of course, aside from being disappointed, they were also astonished. It was just that none of them revealed what they saw inside, letting the others venture inside to see for themselves.
Seeing the returning figures, Shangguan Qiuye, who was beside Ye Futian, asked him,
Are you going in to take a look?

Ye Futian’s talent was extraordinary. Before this, he had inherited the fateful encounter of the Great Path on the cliff face. If he entered the crack in the mountain, would the result be the same?

Do you want to go in?
Ye Futian asked her back.

Hmm,
Shangguan Qiuye replied, nodding her head.

You can go first. I’ll wait and see,
Ye Futian answered. Shangguan Qiuye did not hold back and actually walked right in.
However, not long after, Shangguan Qiuye also emerged like everyone else. Her beautiful eyes contained a look of astonishment.

What is in there?
Ye Futian inquired.

Go take a look for yourself,
Shangguan Qiuye replied, not telling Ye Futian what she saw. He also did not pursue the matter, waiting there quietly. As figures entered and emerged, no one managed to succeed. However, they had all been awed by something.
When those who entered before saw the others emerge just like they had, they breathed sighs of relief.
Most likely, no one would be able to retrieve this elixir. It was just as the Island Lord had said. If the Jiang clan’s powerful existence were to come, only he may have a chance of retrieving the elixir.
Finally, no one else entered into the crack. Island Lord asked out loud,
Does anyone else want to go in to take a look?

No one responded. Just then, Ye Futian stepped out and said,
I also wish to broaden my horizons.


Suit yourself,
Island Lord replied. Her expression remained the same. She did not think much about it. Ye Futian then stepped forward and entered into the crack in the ancient mountain. He directly passed through the mountain and entered a gigantic space.
When Ye Futian arrived on this side, he instantly sensed an extremely intimate aura. When he saw the scene before him, his eyes revealed a look of astonishment.
Before him, there was a tree. It was a gigantic divine tree with countless branches and leaves.
This tree seemed to nurture all forms of Paths, emanating many different types of auras of the Great Path. It was as though the tree could accommodate all things within it. Inside the ancient tree, the most powerful aura of the Great Path was the aura of the Great Path of Life. This was the ancient tree’s original aura.
What astonished Ye Futian was that this gigantic ancient tree actually had a human shape. It was as though it was a humongous Tree God.
This human-shaped divine tree had a head, eyes, arms, body, as well as two legs. It completely resembled a human. Right then, a brilliant life aura was shining from the head of this human-shaped tree. There seemed to be an elixir there!
