Chapter 1936: The Second Island Lord

The female Island Lord stared at Ye Futian. The coercion of the Great Path was still strong; had it been integrated by him?

“What did you get?” she asked.

“Elixir, the life force of the Great Path.” As soon as Ye Futian’s voice fell, a most sacred emerald green divine brilliance gleamed. His body seemed to have been transformed into a divine tree with countless branches and leaves spread out, swaying in this space. The Great Path of Life was extremely majestic and vibrant.

Ye Futian’s body was also filled with radiant green divine brilliance, with a most powerful vitality.

“What else?” the other continued to ask him, her gaze fixed on him.

Ye Futian looked into those deep eyes and responded, “And I have inherited everything from the Supreme Deity Donglai.”

As soon as his voice fell, an invisible pressure of the Great Path enveloped this area. Not just the female Island Lord, but the few cultivators next to her also emitted an extremely powerful aura. Supreme Deity Donglai was the belief of Eastern Deity Island. Even though he had fallen for many years, the people on Eastern Deity Island knew that he hadn’t completely disappeared. They had always hoped that he would continue to exist forever so that one day he might wake up one way or another.

But now, it was inherited by Ye Futian.

“He’s gone?” A terrible power of the Great Path surged over the woman, and it seemed rather cold.

“He’s gone,” Ye Futian responded frankly. ” Supreme Deity Donglai proclaimed that I could be counted as half a disciple of his and asked me to look after Eastern Deity Island in the future.”

“You, look after Eastern Deity Island?” said the other while looking at Ye Futian.

“I can’t now,” Ye Futian responded, “but does the Island Lord think it will not be possible even in the future?”

The woman fell silent when she heard Ye Futian’s words. She had been watching Ye Futian’s performance. Even with Jiang Jiuming present, Ye Futian was still the one with the most outstanding performance in Eastern Deity Island.

“So, the movement of the Flowering Tree was also because of you.” She continued, and Ye Futian nodded, did not deny it.

“Who are you? There is no major clan with the last name Ye in the surrounding continents,” the female Island Lord stared at Ye Futian. She was a little suspicious of Ye Futian’s identity and wondered whether he was coming for the elixir just like Jiang Jiuming.

“Pavilion Master of Dongyuan Pavilion,” Ye Futian responded.

“Dongyuan Pavilion can’t tolerate the likes of you,” the other responded bluntly.

Ye Futian gave a look at the people next to her, which caught her attention. Did he mean to have her dismiss her people before he would say more?

“You may go now,” the Island Lord commanded. Several people glanced at Ye Futian coldly, then turned to leave. The Island Lord looked at Ye Futian and said, “You can spill it now.”

Sure enough, just as she had thought, this man wasn’t so simple. His past was extraordinary, or else, he wouldn’t request a private audience with her.

An invisible power of the Great Path enveloped this area and sealed it. Ye Futian looked at the Island Lord, “Since I have inherited everything from the Supreme Deity Donglai, naturally I am aware of its past. As he said, I am indeed half of a disciple to him. I can’t cut off my relationship with the Eastern Deity Island. Therefore, I can tell the Island Lord my secrets to demonstrate my sincerity, but I also hope that the Island Lord will keep my secrets for me.”

“Of course.” The other nodded.

“I come from the Original Realm,” said Ye Futian.

“Impossible.” The Island Lord was surprised. “How could you possibly come from Original Realm with this kind of cultivation?”

Obviously, she had heard of the Original Realm. After all, Eastern Deity Island was once prosperous. Her father was a top figure. They had talked about it.

“Whether the Island Lord believes it or not, I did come from the Original Realm; it is a fact,” Ye Futian continued, while the beautiful eyes of the woman in front of him fixed on him. Although she knew of the Original Realm, to the vast majority of the forces in Divine Prefecture, the Original Realm only existed as a myth.

And the young man in front of her came from the Original Realm.

“Even if I believe you, is this any secret?” The Island Lord said to Ye Futian.

“Back then, I was hunted by the top powers of the Divine Prefecture in the Original Realm, including powers such as the Holy Land of Taichu,” Ye Futian continued, and the other revealed a look of surprise. She had heard of Holy Land of Taichu, even if it never had any exchanges with Eastern Deity Island, but as one of the top forces in Divine Prefecture, she knew of its existence.

Would such forces hunt Ye Futian down?

“My real name is Ye Futian; Ye Liunian is just a pseudonym. In the Original Realm, due to some circumstances, I was targeted by the forces in the Original Realm and those of the Lower Worlds in the Divine Prefecture, so I fled to Divine Prefecture,” Ye Futian said.

“How did you manage to escape with your realm?” the other asked.

“Princess Donghuang didn’t want to see me die,” Ye Futian responded.

“Princess Donghuang?” The female Island Lord was already starting to believe in Ye Futian’s story, but the more she listened, the more she felt it was implausible. She felt it’s almost like a dream. A man of Lower Renhuang realm came to Eastern Deity Island for trial and obtained the opportunity of the Great Path. However, the characters and forces that he mentioned were inaccessible to those on Eastern Deity Island; how could this not make her feel a little surreal?

“Look at it yourself.” Ye Futian shot a thought from his brow chakra toward the center of her brow chakra. She did not refuse and saw scenes appearing before her eyes. The battle in the Original Realm was also displayed.

After watching, the female Island Lord’s aura fluctuated slightly, staring at the man in front of her.

This was a veritable genius. In the Original Realm, he had come into contact with the top powers and was valued by Princess Donghuang. No wonder such an extremely talented person traversed and dominated all of Eastern Deity Island, inherited the opportunity of the Great Path, and seized the elixir.

“Am I sincere enough?” Ye Futian asked while the other still looked at him.

“Why tell me so much?” the other asked him.

These were Ye Futian’s secrets; there was no need to tell her all of them.

“I inherited the elixir and the inheritance of the Supreme Deity Donglai; I could be considered as half of his heir. If I don’t convince the Island Lord of my talent, it may put me at a disadvantage. On the contrary, if the Island Lord sees all this, the conclusion may very well be the opposite,” Ye Futian responded frankly. He learned everything that Eastern Deity Island had experienced through Supreme Deity Donglai.

Eastern Deity Island was now in desperate need of power, the reason why it was using the opportunity of the Great Path to attract talented men from outside.

However, no matter how they recruit, even if Eastern Deity Island’s strength increased, there would still be an upper limit. As long as Eastern Deity Island failed to produce a major figure, the limitation would always be there.

Therefore, this could be the man who will give hope to Eastern Deity Island.

Having inherited everything from Supreme Deity Donglai, with the promise to look after Eastern Deity Island, he would not mind help coming from Eastern Deity Island.

“You go back first,” the Island Lord thought for a moment and said to Ye Futian. Her thoughts were mixed up, and she hadn’t sorted them out yet.

“Very well.” Ye Futian nodded slightly and left.

Long after he left, the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island still stared at his faded figure in a daze.

Ye Futian from the Original Realm.

Ye Liunian, the Pavilion Master of Dongyuan Pavilion.

She had been recruiting genius talents for Eastern Deity Island. Finally, on this day, a genius had come, one that even the daughter of the Great Emperor had appreciated. Ye Futian’s talent was undoubted.

This was someone who could make the Flowering Tree run wild, allowing the divine tree to blend into the divine body, someone that Zi Feng was willing to follow in cultivation.

No matter how she looked at it, Ye Futian was the best candidate for Eastern Deity Island.

But, was he reliable?

Previously at the banquet, Ye Futian casually gave out the Refine Thunder Mastering Pellets to those around him. He had performed well on Eastern Deity Island before. His character was gentle and erudite but ruthless toward the enemy.

Perhaps this was destined.

To send Ye Futian to Eastern Deity Island.

“Island Lord.” At this moment, a group of people landed next to Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island. Their eyes were full of doubts and questions.

What did the white-haired man talk about with the Island Lord?

“From today onwards, Ye Liunian is the second Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island, and you will do all you can to provide full assistance to him. However, this matter is only known to you and cannot be publicized. His status is the same as mine,” said the woman. Everyone around was a little surprised, their eyes on her.

Was this to confirmed the white-haired Renhuang as the heir of Eastern Deity Island?

Even if he had gotten the inheritance of Supreme Deity Donglai, should a decision be made so quickly?

“Island Lord, do we need to discuss this matter further?” someone asked.

“No, I have made up my mind, so it is decided.” The Island Lord’s tone was determined, and everyone was a little concerned, unaware of what the two had talked about. But they knew the Island Lord, an extremely outstanding leader, whose action was always swift. Since she had already made the decision, they would not question her. They all nodded in response and left.

Second Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island?

Ye Futian didn’t know any of this. After he returned, Zi Feng asked him, “What did sister Island Lord say to you?”

“Nothing, just concerned for me,” Ye Futian smiled.

“Concerned for you?” Zi Feng’s beautiful eyes glanced at him with a look of contempt. This Island Lord did care for anyone, much less a man.

“Mmm,” Ye Futian nodded. “Although you plan to follow me to cultivate, you may still be on Eastern Deity Island often.”

Zi Feng didn’t quite understand it, and Ye Futian didn’t bother to explain further. In his opinion, such a choice was actually straightforward. As smart as the Island Lord of Eastern Deity Island, she would make the best judgment.

When faced with a win-win option, no one would choose to lose.

“When are we leaving?” Beigong Shuang came over and asked Ye Futian.

“Leave?” Ye Futian looked at Beigong Shuang and said, “Eastern Deity Island’s fine wines and delicacies are all great. Why leave?”

Wasn’t it nice to stay a few more days and enjoy the feast?

“You are not leaving?” Beigong Shuang looked confused, didn’t quite understand.

Ye Futian smiled and didn’t say anything more. Of course, he wouldn’t leave; from now on, this would be like his own backyard!
