Chapter 1955: Traveling Together

Ye Futian and his people sat down, following which the many virtuosos of the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor also took their seats.

“Actually, today’s banquet was meant for the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor; I did not expect you would be here too. It’s such a coincidence. A few days later, I will be bringing some of the practitioners here along with me to the Dongxiao Continent. Why don’t you join us?” the Alchemy Emperor smiled and said as he sat down. “On our journey this time, we definitely will be paying that person a visit.”

The Donglai Goddess nodded her head slightly. Naturally, she knew who that person was; this was her goal for traveling to the Dongxiao Continent. Ye Futian represented the future of the Eastern Deity Island, and it was unfortunate that the Eastern Deity Island had a powerful enemy seeking revenge. She had to do something.

“It is really a fortunate coincidence this time; you came at the right time. If the senior knew that our teacher had an heir, he would definitely be joyous,” the Alchemy Emperor smiled and said. That figure was friends with his teacher in the past, and they had a very close relationship. When his teacher passed away, the person felt deeply regretful. If he could see their teacher’s heir, he would probably be pleased.

“I came to find senior for this matter indeed,” the Donglai Goddess said. “I did not want to bring junior Liunian there myself.”

The Alchemy Emperor let out a quizzical expression and looked at the Donglai Goddess with some curiosity.

The Donglai Goddess continued, “Senior, you also know what his personality is like. When has he ever cared about the superficial rules of the world? Of course, with Father’s position, I won’t have any trouble getting to meet him. However, I do not wish for that to be the reason that they could meet. Since we have met coincidentally here, then I can only ask to borrow a slot from senior.” The Alchemy Emperor immediately understood her meaning.

It seemed that she had great confidence in Ye Futian.

As for the personality of that senior, he, of course, understood a little too. If Ye Futian was not exceptional enough and only relied on his status as the heir when he met the senior, even if he were willing to provide guidance, he would probably not believe that Ye Futian was deserving of the inheritance of the Supreme Deity Donglai.

Since the Donglai Goddess said this, she meant for Ye Futian to first prove himself worthy before meeting the senior. However, that would only succeed provided Ye Futian was outstanding. Otherwise, he would just be eclipsed by all the other prodigies and appear all too common.

The rest of the people at the banquet tensed a little upon hearing the Donglai Goddess’s words. Even though they had considered that this might be a possibility since the Donglai Goddess had said it herself that she wanted Ye Futian to also travel to the Dongxiao Continent.

This meant that Ye Futian was going to take up a slot and become part of them.

With the Dongxiao Continent as the center continent tile, it was natural that the surrounding continents would look up to the Dongxiao Continent. Furthermore, the good friend of the Supreme Deity Donglai was a truly exceptional figure from the Dongxiao Continent. He stood at the pinnacle even among the extremely powerful, and on this continent, he had an incomparably high status.

Every year, each continent would send their prodigies to the Dongxiao Continent in the hopes that they would be able to cultivate at the Cultivation Court that he was at.

“Okay. Leave this matter to me.” The Alchemy Emperor nodded his head in agreement. He could still decide on this matter; however, whether Ye Futian could get to meet him without using his status as the disciple of a Goddess of the Supreme Deity Donglai was another matter.

Since it had already been decided, everything else would depend on Ye Futian himself.

“Since our little friend Ye is the disciple of the Supreme Deity Donglai, why is there a need to go through all this trouble? With such an important status, you could meet with the senior directly,” an elderly man seated below suggested.

“Well, there’s no harm. He can treat it as an experience,” the Alchemy Emperor replied. Hearing the reply, the elderly man kept silent.

“Since Emperor Ye obtained the inheritance from the Supreme Deity, surely he must have exceptional talent in alchemy. Even though Emperor Ye humbly claims to only be a beginner, but if he were truly common, how could he have obtained the Supreme Deity’s inheritance?” a middle-level Renhuang smiled and asked. “Today, among us all, there are quite a few people who are alchemists, seeking guidance from the Alchemy Emperor all along. Since we have been fated to meet, could we ask Emperor Ye for advice on the path of alchemy?”

Ye Futian looked toward the person who spoke. It seemed like he was inquisitive about his alchemy skills.

Who would not be curious about the heir of the Supreme Deity Donglai?

Even the Donglai Goddess did not inherit her father’s position; rather, it was an outsider who did it.

“I have mentioned before that I have only just started down the path of alchemy. It was only recently that I even began trying my hand at refining elixirs. I don’t have much talent in this aspect. Regarding how I obtained the inheritance, it was probably sheer luck,” Ye Futian replied, smiling. There was no need for him to show his true ability in alchemy; it would only cause him more trouble.

“Emperor Ye, there is no need to be overly humble,” someone said with a smile. Since the Donglai Goddess brought Ye Futian from such a remote place to join the Dongxiao Continent, there was no way Ye Futian lacked in talent or strength.

“I am speaking only the truth; it’s not that I’m humble. Furthermore, seated before me today are so many virtuosos. How could I possibly be more skilled than you? I would only be embarrassing myself,” Ye Futian replied with a smile. He truly believed that his potential in alchemy was quite common and that there was nothing exceptional about it.

As for showing off his alchemy skills here, he never practiced alchemy casually. In the past, when he refined elixirs, he did so because he had a practical need for the elixirs. Showing off his alchemy skills was meaningless to him.

Hearing Ye Futian’s words, everyone understood that it was probably impossible to have him practice alchemy in front of them. This man hid his ability very well. They wondered just how skilled he was.

“Alright. Even though I originally arranged this gathering for you all, since my junior sister has coincidentally arrived, I shall not hold you back any further. In a few days, let’s head towards the Dongxiao Continent together,” the Alchemy Emperor said. In fact, he was already hinting that he would like to end the gathering and for them to leave.

Everyone certainly understood and respected his wishes, and one person after another got up to leave. Before taking their leave, several people still glanced at Ye Futian once more. They were full of curiosity about this heir to the Supreme Deity Donglai.

After the crowd left, the Alchemy Emperor also rose and said, “I’ll show you the way to the pavilion. You can rest there today.”

The Donglai Goddesses also rose and followed behind the Alchemy Emperor. Apart from them, there were a couple of the Alchemy Emperor’s disciples. They were also staring at the Donglai Goddess and Ye Futian. However, they all knew their place and kept their mouths shut, not saying anything. They only followed silently.

“Since the outsiders are no longer around, can you tell me the truth? This time you decided against using Teacher’s status to get Ye Futian to meet with the old senior. How confident are you that by taking this route, Ye Futian would succeed?” the Alchemy Emperor asked.

“100 percent,” the Donglai Goddess replied, causing the Alchemy Emperor to halt for a moment. 100 percent? he thought.

This meant that even if Ye Futian solely relied on himself, he could definitely still make it to the side of the old senior and cultivate with his guidance. With that accomplished, if he revealed his identity in the end, it would be a nice surprise for the senior.

The Alchemy Emperor nodded his head seriously. “Since you trust Ye Futian so much, I am suddenly a little excited. Junior Ye, since you have obtained Teacher’s inheritance, I hope you can inherit his position as well.”

“I’ll try my best,” Ye Futian replied. The Alchemy Emperor did not say anything else and continued casually chatting with the Donglai Goddess.

A couple of days later, an entire legion of practitioners departed majestically. This time, their numbers increased quite a bit. They were all headed towards the same destination: the Divine Prefecture, Dongxiao Continent. This was one of the main continents!
