Chapter 1988 - The Divine Ocean Continent

The Divine Prefecture had countless continents. As one of the 18 domains in the Divine Prefecture, the Donghua Domain similarly consisted of many continents.

The Divine Ocean Continent was one of the more unique continents. This continent was not large and was not one of the main continents. It could only be considered medium-sized. It usually did not have a strong sense of presence, so not many people from the Donghua Domain knew about it.

On Turtle Deity Island in the Divine Ocean Continent, there lived a pinnacle existence, Emperor Xi.

Now, news from Turtle Deity Island spread, claiming that Emperor Xi would face three tribulations. This news spread rapidly, first in the Divine Ocean Continent and then to various other continents until it reached the Donghua Domain.

In an instant, the Divine Ocean Continent, which usually did not garner the attention of the masses, became the focus of the entire Donghua Domain.

Right now, in the skies above the Divine Ocean Continent, people were constantly traversing. Cultivators from various continents had rushed over. It was not just top forces like the Wangshen Watchtower; cultivators from many surrounding continents also came. Who did not want to witness such a rare occasion?

These were divine tribulations, the stuff of legends. Very few people had witnessed one before. Yet alone the continents around the area, even among the continents in the entire Divine Prefecture, it was a rare sight.

Now, such an opportunity had appeared in the Divine Ocean Continent. To witness Emperor Xi facing a divine tribulation, even though it was just the first tribulation, was still enough to attract the attention of the world.

Right now, a group of cultivators descended from the sky. It was as though they had appeared immediately from beyond the horizon. This caused many people around to look over in their direction. The people around wondered which continent these figures of top forces had arrived from. Such speed could not be detected by eyes or will.

The people who had come were Millet Emperor and the other members of the Wangshen Watchtower. They brought along cultivators from the Watchtower as well as Ye Futian’s group.

“We have arrived,” Millet Emperor announced as he stood there. Ye Futian looked down below. As expected, there was a vast ocean beneath them. In the Divine Ocean, there were many islands. However, the islands were covered with buildings, as though they were island cities. They appeared somewhat similar to the city of Qingzhou in Donghai, where Ye Futian grew up.

Of course, Donghai was far from being comparable to the Divine Ocean.

Ye Futian’s current cultivation Plane was far superior when compared to his cultivation Plane when he was a youth. Thus, the two places felt oddly similar to him. After all, his vision and will could cover a huge area. Although the distance between the island cities was vast, his vision could still span the island cities.

He is so fast, Ye Futian thought to himself as he glanced at Millet Emperor. The speed of a top cultivator was too frightening. Ye Futian felt as though they had transcended time and space while they were traversing in the sky. From the Dongxiao Continent to the Divine Ocean Continent, they had traversed over countless continents in between these two points. However, Ye Futian felt as though they had not taken very long to get here. This was the speed of a giant figure.

“We still do not know when the Hour of Reckoning will be. All of you can explore the Divine Ocean Continent on your own. When the Day of Reckoning comes, head straight for Turtle Deity Island,” Millet Emperor explained to them. The crowd nodded in acknowledgment. Millet Emperor then took a step forward, and his figure immediately disappeared without a trace. He went off on his own to find a place to cultivate.

Although the news had come from Turtle Deity Island, the Day of Reckoning had yet to be determined. They had arrived early as they did not want to miss it. Under such circumstances, they could not go to Turtle Deity Island and disturb the people there. As of now, outside of Turtle Deity Island, many cultivators had already gathered.

“I plan to head over to a place near Turtle Deity Island to cultivate. What do you all plan to do?” Li Changsheng asked with a smile.

“I will go to Turtle Deity Island,” Zong Chan replied. The members of the Wangshen Watchtower each had their own plans in mind.

“I will go and take a look around the area,” Ye Futian responded with a smile.

“Alright, then we will part ways for now. See you all again on Turtle Deity Island,” Li Changsheng replied with a laugh. The cultivators then dispersed and went about their own business.

However, Ye Futian’s group remained. Aside from Ye Futian, Goddess Donglai and Alchemy Emperor had also come. Xia Qingyuan, Zi Feng, and the others were also with them.

Goddess Donglai did not leave, instead choosing to follow Ye Futian. She did not plan to go her own way.

The incident on Turtle Deity Island caused quite a stir. Members from various forces had all come. The cultivators of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family would certainly arrive and the members of other forces. The person with the highest cultivation around Ye Futian was Beigong Ao. She did not feel secure about this.

“Let’s go,” said Ye Futian as his figure advanced. They traversed through the sky and passed over island cities. The sound of huge waves could be heard constantly from the Divine Ocean below. The ocean breeze swept against Ye Futian’s body, causing his white robes to flutter and his silver hair to dance in the wind.

Ye Futian missed this sensation. Many images surfaced in his mind of the times he spent with his teacher Hua Fengliu and Jieyu when they traveled across Donghai.

He did not know how they were now. He had been in the Divine Prefecture for some years now. Were they alright in the Original Realm?

People kept traversing in the sky above the Divine Ocean. Many people passed by beside Ye Futian’s group. However, most cultivators would mind their own business. This time, cultivators had come from all over. No one knew each other’s backgrounds, so they would not easily go looking for trouble.

Right then, not far above from where Ye Futian’s group was, another group of cultivators was traveling at extremely high speeds. One of their members swept a glance at Ye Futian’s group, and then a voice called out, saying, “It is a demonic phoenix.”

The person who had spoken had a sinister look in his eyes. He swept a glance over at Zi Feng, revealing a look of interest. He could tell at a glance that Zi Feng’s true form was the divine bird, the phoenix.

Seemingly sensing the other party’s gaze, Zi Feng’s eyes lit up with frightening flames of the Great Path. The aura of the Great Path seemed to radiate from within her pupils. Flames of the Great Path invaded the eyes of the other party.

However, a strange light flashed past in those sinister eyes. He allowed Zi Feng’s will to invade his own. With a sparkle in his eyes, he seemed to have sensed something. He then laughed and said, “What an incredible phoenix. Such a pity. It would have been better if she did not already have a master.”

As he said this, he glanced over Ye Futian and the others. This demonic beast was following this group of people. She must already have a master.

If she was a masterless phoenix, he could tame her.

“Keep moving. Don’t dawdle,” reminded someone beside him. The other party nodded his head. Their group advanced even faster, disappearing from the view of Ye Futian’s group in an instant.

Ye Futian frowned slightly. Although the other party had not done anything that was overstepping boundaries, his tone had clearly been frivolous.

“They have top figures among them. They should be a top-level overlord force,” Goddess Donglai said softly. When Ye Futian heard her say this, he was rendered speechless. He never imagined that a group of people they happened to encounter in the sky above the Divine Ocean Continent was a superpower level force.

“Can you tell which force they are from?” Zi Feng asked. She was clearly unhappy. She was very dissatisfied with the look in the other party’s eyes and their attitude.

“Zi Feng, they have not done anything. Don’t go looking for trouble,” said Goddess Donglai gently. Although they were under the protection of the Millet Emperor, it would still be best for them not to offend superpowers so as to not make enemies for him.

Zi Feng nodded her head. Although she was not pleased about it, she did not pursue the matter.
