Chapter 1956 - Wangdu

Chapter 1956: Wangdu

The Dongxiao Continent was one of the strongest and most prosperous main continents in the entire Donghua Domain, and it was a member of the Seven Continents.

There were countless powerful factions in the Dongxiao Continent. A place like the Penglai Continent was nothing extraordinary in the entire Dongxiao Continent. Here, there were countless families and clans with deep historical roots.

Among the numerous factions, the one that stood above all was undoubtedly the Wangshen Watchtower.

The name “Wangshen Watchtower” originated from a watchtower. In the past, there were two people who drank wine at the top of the watchtower while trying to diagnose each other’s vitalities, and thus the name “Wangshen Watchtower” arose. In the present day, the Wangshen Watchtower no longer referred to just that one watchtower. Rather, it was the name of the most powerful faction on the Dongxiao Continent. Located within it was the Millet Emperor Cultivation Court, the sacred ground of cultivation that countless practitioners were hoping to get into.

At that moment, in the air above the Dongxiao Continent, a row of people was traveling majestically. They were Ye Futian’s group of people. Apart from them, the Alchemy Emperor and his followers were also there. Traveling together, their combined numbers were huge.

From beyond the veil-like clouds, Ye Futian cast his glance downwards and saw tower after tower standing straight up. They were countless ancient palaces and divine pavilions. They were, however, not even in the main city of the Dongxiao Continent. This was just a city in a remote region in the continent, but even then, it boasted a strong force. Renhuangs were extremely common and could be found everywhere.

The Divine Prefectures was immeasurably vast; even the Penglai Continent alone had above a thousand continents surrounding it. One could expect that the Dongxiao Continent—one of the main continents in the Donghua Domain—would have gathered numerous virtuosos from the entire Donghua Domain. Practitioners who had great strength would naturally flock towards places that were even stronger still. Naturally, this positive reinforcement strengthened the forces of the Dongxiao Continent.

After they passed many cities, a mountain range appeared below them. It appeared strange and dangerous at the same time, and from within the range exuded a terrifying aura. Along the thousands of kilometers of mountain range, one could vaguely spot a cluster of pavilions. Obviously, there were people living there.

“Should we take a detour?” someone asked the Alchemy Emperor. They all knew where they were. Within the Dongxiao Continent, the extremely powerful were located in various places. Right where they were was the Dragon Submission Mountain Range. In this mountain range, there was a villa located within it. The reason behind the name of this Dragon Submission Mountain Range was that even a real dragon had to crouch low in submission if it were to pass through this area.

“There is no need,” the Alchemy Emperor replied. He was acquaintances with a few masters of the Dragon Submission Mountain Range. Nothing should go awry if they just passed through the area.

As they were traversing the space above the mountain range, an overbearing aura shot straight into the heavens, and the roar of beasts reverberated through the entire space accompanied by the howl of a dragon. Unexpectedly, a divine dragon at the Demon Emperor stage rose into the air, accompanied by various vicious beasts. Someone stood on the Demon Emperor, and his gaze swept across the group as he asked, “Who are you?”

“An old friend from the Tower of the Alchemy Emperor. We would like to pass through this area and hope you can be agreeable to our request.” The Alchemy Emperor had an ethereal air about him. His voice permeated the entire mountain range and reached below him. In response, wisps of divine consciousness swept upwards from below. Ye Futian could distinctly feel a number of tendrils of divine consciousness descending upon and sweeping across him.

“Ah, so it’s my old friend who has come. Why don’t you come down and take a seat?” a strong voice echoed out. A solemn-looking middle-aged man floated into the air. He had a stocky build and gave off a very dominant aura.

“Alchemy Emperor, where’s your sense of brotherhood? How can you not stay here for a few days when you are already here?” A couple of silhouettes rose into the air again. They all exuded a terrifying aura. Ye Futian sensed that this mountain range actually had three level-nine virtuosos. It seemed that there were many terrifyingly strong virtuosos hidden in this Dragon Submission Mountain Range.

The Dongxiao Continent was indeed a main continent; even just casually passing by, one could encounter such a strong force.

From this, though, one could also tell just how high the status of a powerful alchemist was. The practitioners of the Dragon Submission Mountain Range were all rather friendly towards the Alchemy Emperor.

“There is a Dragon Submission Villa in the Dragon Submission Mountain Range, and in it lived three lords of the villa. They are all well-versed in the art of beast taming,” the Donglai Goddess telepathically introduced the people they encountered to Ye Futian. Ye Futian nodded his head lightly. It seemed that even though the Donglai Goddesses had always isolated themselves on the Eastern Deity Island, they had never cut off communication with the outside world. In fact, it was also possible that she headed out frequently.

He glanced at the beasts again. They were all Demon Emperor levels. The specialty of the Dragon Submission Villa was in beast taming, but in this aspect, there might not be many people who were more skilled than he was.

“This time, we are rushing for time to head towards Wangd. So, we won’t be stopping here. Next time when the chance arises, I will pay you a visit again,” the Alchemy Emperor said.

The land of Wangdu, also known as Wang City, was the largest city in the Dongxiao Continent. Its name was derived from the Wangshen Watchtower located inside. In the past, Wangdu was not even among the top ten cities in the Dongxiao Continent. However, due to the influence of the Wangshen Watchtower, Wangdu was able to develop rapidly, and gradually it rose to become the top city in the entire Dongxiao Continent.

“Mmm, that’s right too,” the villa lords nodded. “Since that’s the case, then we shan’t hold you back anymore. Just as nice, there are quite a few juniors in the villa who want to take a look at the outside world. Alchemy Emperor, how would you like to bring along a few of them and show them the world?”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the row of people behind him and said, “Didn’t you all want to go to Wangdu? You can learn a little from your senior the Alchemy Emperor on the way there.”

A few people walked up. They all had an extraordinary aura about them and were all Renhuang level practitioners. Bowing slightly to the Alchemy Emperor, they said, “Greetings to senior Alchemy Emperor.”

Ye Futian looked towards them. These people were really shrewd; they were all Renhuang practitioners already, surely there was no need for someone to babysit them? They were using it as an excuse. Their main purpose was to build a relationship with the Alchemy Emperor. After all, making an acquaintance with an alchemy grandmaster can only be beneficial.

“Alright,” the Alchemy Emperor nodded.

“Thanks for the trouble then.” The villa lords expressed their gratitude.

“Nah, we are just traveling together; it won’t be troublesome in the least bit,” the Alchemy Emperor replied casually. The Villa lords of the Dragon Submission Vila were all at the ninth-level. In the entire Dongxiao Continent, this could already be considered one of the top-tier factions. He certainly understood that there was no need for him to take care of them.

“We will leave now.”

“Alright.” The other party nodded. “Please.”

As he finished speaking, he looked at the few practitioners from the villa and said, “Remember to learn as much as you can from your senior.”

“Understood.” The practitioners nodded their heads quickly. The Alchemy Emperor and his entourage once again departed. This time, not only were they joined by a few more people from the Dragon Submission Villa and their mounts, which were also all Demon Emperors.

Among them, a youth cloaked in black was riding a black dragon, exuding a terrifying aura. The black dragons’ huge eyes turned towards the Black Wind Condor below Ye Futian. Although it was completely uninterested in the condor, when the dragon looked up at Zi Feng, curiosity seemed to vaguely form in its eyes. Apparently, it had discovered that Zi Feng was also a demon.

While they were traveling, the practitioners from the villa introduced themselves. As they chatted casually, they got more familiar with each other. Among them, the key persons were the three practitioners who were the descendants of the three villa lords, namely Lin Qiu, Han Tie, and Leng Ye.

Lin Qiu’s aura had a tinge of the splendor of demons. He had exceptional features and was the son of the eldest villa lord. He was a middle-level Renhuang. Wearing a robe, he appeared to have an extraordinary air about him.

“And these few seniors here are…?” Lin Qiu asked as he looked at the Penglai Goddess and Beigong Ao behind the Alchemy Emperor. He was a little curious about them. In particular, the Penglai Goddess gave them an extraordinary feeling. She looked gorgeous and noble, and she had a fearsome aura about her.

“She’s my junior,” the Alchemy Emperor answered without further elaboration.

“Greetings to my senior.” Hearing the Alchemy Emperor’s words, Lin Qiu bowed towards the Penglai Goddess, who nodded her head lightly in response.

He then turned his glance towards Ye Futian and saw that this white-haired youth was very relaxed and casual. Ye Futian was drinking his wine quietly at the side and appeared to be extremely carefree. The fragrance of wine wafted past Lin Qiu, causing a pleasant feeling to well up within him. He guessed that this white-haired Renhuang was a disciple of the Alchemy Emperor’s junior.

However, it was also rude to ask about everyone’s identity, so he smiled and said, “That is some good wine. If you don’t mind, can I try a cup?”

Ye Futian smiled and nodded. He retrieved a flask of wine, and encasing it in the power of the Great Path, sent it floating towards Lin Qiu. The flask came to a stop in front of him.

“Please,” Ye Futian said with a smile. Since a Renhuang had actively asked for a cup of wine, he would naturally not be stingy.

It seemed that this Lin Qiu had a pretty straightforward personality.

“Thank you.” Lin Qiu smiled in return. Popping open the wine flask, he raised it toward Ye Futian and said, “Dragon Submission Villa, Lin Qiu.”

“Ye Liunian.” Ye Futian raised his cup in response. As for what his identity was at that moment, even he was also unclear, and so he only introduced himself by his name. Even though Lin Qiu could not get any information of Ye Futian’s origins from his self-introduction, he did not mind it either. He swallowed the wine in one gulp. He and felt that his body felt extremely comfortable as the powers of the Great Path coursed through his body.

“This is some great wine,” he commended. Indeed, Ye Futian was related to the Alchemy Emperor. He could taste that the wine came from a faction that refined elixirs. Lin Qiu thus thought that Ye Futian should be the disciple of the Alchemy Emperor’s junior.

“Let’s all have a few drinks together.” Ye Futian passed the wine to Han Tie and Leng Ye as well. He appeared very generous. The Donglai Goddess at the side took a look at him.

Just how much quality wine did this rascal take from the Eastern Deity Island? she thought to herself. “He has been drinking it like water all this time on our trip, and yet there’s still more. Now, he has even invited others to drink it with him as well.”

However, she did not really mind it. After all, the Dragon Submission Villa was not a miniscule faction. There was no harm in Ye Futian making more friends.

The Dongxiao Continent was vast, so it took them several days to traverse an endless distance and finally reach the main city of the Dongxiao Continent—Wangdu.

When they arrived above Wangdu, they slowly descended from the air and traveled at a much lower distance above the city. Ye Futian glanced at the city below him as he sat on the back of Black Wind Condor. He saw numerous pavilions built on the ground. Among the people walking on the pavements and streets, Saint-level practitioners were all too common. In fact, many of them were at the Renhuang level.

They have finally arrived at Wangdu of the Dongxiao Continent, one of the main continents in the Donghua Domain.

The arrival of an entire group of virtuosos drew the gaze of many people. These new arrivers had an extraordinary air about them. They seemed to be really strong. Even in Wangdu, they could still be considered to be very strong. However, their attention was short-lived; the people of Wangdu were not particularly curious. After all, there were numerous virtuosos in Wangdu, and from time to time, extraordinary people would come. The local practitioners were used to it.

Ye Futian felt a little excited. He had already been in the Divine Prefecture for a couple of years. However, he had mostly been cultivating these few years. Now that he had come to the Dongxiao Continent, he could finally be considered to be making contact with the core region of the Divine Prefecture.

Next, he might be able to contact the major top-tier factions, and this contact might prove to be extremely relevant to everything that happened in the Original Realm!
