Chapter 1954: Alchemy Emperor
Before they knew it, they had been on the road for many days. Although it was a little monotonous at times, they had a few drinks here and there and chatted. Overall, it was a pleasant and easy time.
“One more cluster of continents, and we will arrive at our destination,” Goddess Donglai said while standing in front, looking into the distance.
“Continental cluster?” Ye Futian whispered.
“Mmm.” Goddess Donglai responded, still looked forward. “This vast area has a cluster of continents, all on the same massive plate, interconnected with one another, surrounding the main continent of the Divine Prefecture—the Donghua Domain, Dongxiao continent.”
“In actuality, this entire cluster of continents lies within the area of Dongxiao Continent, and almost all of them can be considered as a subsidiary of the Dongxiao Continent. This plate is self-contained but separated from each other.”
Goddess Donglai continued, memories in her eyes. It was as if she was recalling a time long ago when she had come here with her father. She had stayed in Dongxiao Continent for some years, so she seemed to have a lot of knowledge about this vast and endless plate of land.
The Black Wind Condor spread its wings and traveled fast over the tumbling clouds. They could see many cultivators because there was a continent right beneath them, and many cultivators were also traveling in the sky.
After coming to the plate belonging to Dongxiao Continent, they could perceive that there were now many more cultivators, and from time to time they encountered others who were traveling in the void.
As they continued moving forward again, they came to the sky above the mainland’s central area. Goddess Donglai’s divine consciousness diffused toward the sky below. Those brilliant eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the void and looked into the sky below and said, “Down.”
A flash went through Black Wind Condor’s eyes, and Ye Futian transmitted a thought to him. Suddenly, his body went into a dive and swooped down, headed toward this continent.
“Senior sister, didn’t we just reached the outer plate of Dongxiao Continent?” Ye Futian asked.
“To visit a friend. Strictly speaking, he can be considered as half of a senior brother to you,” said Goddess Donglai. Ye Futian, a little taken aback, said, “In the memory of the Supreme Deity, this disciple does not seem to have existed; could it have been just a fragment?”
“Not exactly a disciple, but someone he had instructed, so it counts as half of a disciple. His situation was different from yours,” said Goddess Donglai.
“Understood.” Ye Futian nodded and didn’t inquire further. He could guess a thing or two. It must have been a cultivator who was instructed by the Supreme Deity Donglai, so that even though it was not a real master-disciple relationship, he was considered a half disciple.
It seemed that Supreme Deity Donglai had spent a lot of time in this area. The reason for Goddess Donglai’s journey here seemed to have something to do with this; they might have quite a few acquaintances at this place.
The Black Wind Condor quickly broke through the clouds and mist and flew at a lower altitude, with a very clear vision of the buildings below.
“That tallest tower in front,” Goddess Donglai said, and the Black Wind Condor flapped his wings fiercely, his body turned into a dark stream of light, moving in that direction. Soon, they came to the periphery of this building complex. Except for that tallest Sky Reaching Tower, many ancient temples were towering in the surroundings, like the complex of a royal palace, with a solemn atmosphere.
“Tower of the Alchemy Emperor.”
Ye Futian glanced at the tallest Sky Reaching Tower, with three elegant characters engraved on it. They seemed to contain the power of the Great Path and were extremely eye-catching. The Tower of the Alchemy Emperor seemed to be the holy land for alchemy.
Below the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor, it seemed that many people had gathered here, as if holding a banquet. A middle-aged man was sitting on the main seat on the stairs in front of Tower, wearing a robe of purple and gold. From him, a strong aura of mighty and great authority could be detected as he conversed animatedly with everyone around him.
But at this moment, he seemed to have perceived something as he raised his head and looked toward the void. Those eyes penetrated the void directly and locked onto the position of the Black Wind Condor. At that instant, the Black Wind Condor suddenly seemed to be subjected to the Great Path’s terrifying coercion. His body swooped down as if out of his own control.
However, the pressure disappeared instantly as the middle-aged man saw the person on the back of the Black Wind Condor. He stood up, and his eyes fell on the foremost figure on the back of the Black Wind Condor, Goddess Donglai.
The pressure on the Black Wind Condor decreased sharply, but his body continued to dive downward nonetheless and came to the place of the banquet. In an instant, the eyes of many cultivators fell on the newcomers, a little surprised. They had swooped down from the sky and crashed their party. How rude was that?
However, none of them spoke. Judging from their host’s movements and eyes, they seemed to be acquainted with one another.
In the next moment, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face. He smiled and said, “After such a long time, I didn’t expect Junior Sister to be able to join us.”
“Junior sister?” Many people looked interested. Everyone present knew that Alchemy Emperor was not taught by any master. If there was anyone close to it, it could only be the master alchemist himself—Supreme Being Donglai—who had instructed him many years ago. The Alchemy Emperor had always held him in the highest regard and referred to him as ‘teacher’ and paid him the respect of a disciple.
So, this junior sister...
Could it be her?
“It’s been a long time,” Goddess Donglai said.
Ye Futian watched quietly. It seemed that this half a disciple of Supreme Deity Donglai was the top figure in this continent and had created the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor. Many of the guests at this banquet had strong cultivation skills, with quite a few of them being Upper Renhuang, and the aura of that middle-aged man was especially tyrannical. Judging by his perception, he should be a cultivator of the Ninth Realm at the peak of Renhuang.
“I didn’t expect Junior Sister to be here, come and take a seat,” Alchemy Emperor said as he stood up and walked down from his seat to greet her personally. Goddess Donglai and her party landed and moved forward under everyone’s gaze.
At the banquet, many people’s attention was focused over there, and someone said, “Alchemy Emperor, aren’t you going to make an introduction?”
“Very well.” Alchemy Emperor smiled and nodded. He led Goddess Donglai to his side and faced everyone, saying, “This is my junior sister. When my master Supreme Deity Donglai was on his journey, I was fortunate enough to have met him, all of which made today possible. No doubt that all of you have heard what happened afterward.”
“Indeed.” Everyone trembled in their hearts, knowing that the descendant of Supreme Being Donglai had actually left Eastern Deity Island and came here.
Whatever happened at the time had caused a great disturbance. Although Eastern Deity Island and Penglai Continent were far away, they had all heard about the incident, and at the time, this continental plate was also involved.
However, it was still unclear why the descendant of Supreme Being Donglai had come out from their lair this time.
“Greetings to Goddess Donglai.” Many people stood up and bowing with their hands together, acting quite politely. As the progeny of a known clan, Goddess Donglai was a top figure of the Renhuang Realm, even if the fortune of the clan had waned considerably.
Goddess Donglai nodded in return, as her gaze drifted to Ye Futian, who was next to her. “Senior brother, allow me to introduce someone to you, Ye Liunian.”
Alchemy Emperor looked at Ye Futian curiously and saw that his temperament was quite extraordinary. He concluded that he must be a genius talent. He nodded slightly at Ye Futian, “One look, and one knows that our little brother is no ordinary folks.”
“Ye Liunian greets senior brother.” Ye Futian bowed slightly for the Alchemy Emperor, which stunned the Alchemy Emperor so that he looked at Ye Futian and then at Goddess Donglai.
“He is considered to be an heir of my father’s,” Goddess Donglai said.
“Master has an heir?” Alchemy Emperor sounded surprised. Ye Futian looked so very young, and Supreme Being Donglai had fallen for many years. Even then, before his fall, no one had ever heard of him accepting a last disciple.
“Father left some inheritance, and was inherited by Liunian, so indeed he is father’s successor,” Goddess Donglai said. Alchemy Emperor was a little surprised, but still, he nodded. “I didn’t expect that I would have a junior brother. With Junior Sister and Junior Brother here, I will have someone to talk to, and I can have a good exchange of alchemy techniques with Junior Brother.”
The people below were very surprised that the Supreme Being Donglai had actually left an inheritance. Now, the inheritance had been inherited by this man. Was it the art of alchemy?
“How dare I exchange with senior brother? I’m afraid it is I who need to learn from my brother.” Ye Futian’s demeanor was humble and polite. Goddess Donglai glanced at him and didn’t speak...
“Brother Ye is young, but if you could inherit from the Supreme Being, you must have outstanding qualities. Your alchemy techniques must also be extraordinary, perhaps not much less than the Alchemy Emperor,” a young man below smiled and commented.
“Supreme Being Donglai now has an heir. It is indeed a happy event.” The old man next to him smiled and added, “I wonder how many grades of alchemy are you capable of now?”
The old man smiled gently, but his eyes were filled with brilliance. Ye Futian smiled and looked at the other. He replied, “I am just beginning to dabble in the arts of alchemy, I dared not speak of alchemy, and I need to learn more from senior brother.”
The old man nodded slightly, “You are too humble. Even if you are just at the beginning, you have started higher than most. With the Alchemy Emperor’s guidance, your accomplishments are to be expected.”
“Let’s be seated.” Alchemy Emperor seemed to be quite pleased, as he was full of smiles. He had seats prepared for Ye Futian and his party, which were arranged directly next to his. This demonstrated that the Alchemy Emperor’s closeness with Goddess Donglai and the others.
