Small boats were floating in the Divine Ocean, seed to drift with the currents. From ti to ti, they would sail past one island city or another.
The occupants of these small boats were Ye Futian and the others.
At this mont, Lin Yuan took out a map and looked into the distance, saying, “We are almost there. The next island city is Turtle Deity Island.”
“Mmm.” On the small boat ahead, Ye Futian nodded. In the past few days, they did not rush their journey but took their ti to enjoy the scenery along the way, traveling at a comfortable speed. If there were tribulations to be overco by Emperor Xi, they would have sped up their process.
However, in the past few days, they had seen no sign of tribulations, so they moved along in a nice and leisurely manner.
On the other boat, there were two people. Beigong Ao was guiding the boat forward, and in front of him, Beigong Shuang was cultivating with her eyes closed. Faintly, there were terrifying thunder intent perating from her body as the power of thunder covered her. Beigong Ao controlled the fluctuation of the aftershock so that she could cultivate in peace.
That day, after Ye Futian had given the treasure to her, Beigong Shuang took it inside her body and began to cultivate and refine it. On the way here, she had been in the process of refining and cultivating.
“Before we get to Turtle Deity Island, I wonder if Shuang would finish cultivating,” Ye Futian said with a smile.
“Let’s wait and see. If not, I will stay with her in the Divine Ocean,” said Beigong Ao. Although the chance of watching the three tribulations was a rare event, self-cultivation was equally important.
This was an opportunity bestowed on Beigong Shuang, and it had the possibility to help her break through the realm. Before she finished cultivating, Beigong Ao would not interrupt her prematurely.
As the small boats moved forward, the thunder intent on Beigong Shuang was getting stronger. Above the Divine Ocean, a thunderstorm suddenly manifested in the endless clear sky, rushing toward Beigong Shuang. Traces of lightning fell from the sky and descended on her.
Beigong Ao looked up but did not attempt to stop the phenonon. To Ye Futian, that treasure was nothing, so he gave it to Beigong Shuang instead. But Beigong Ao knew very well that without Ye Futian’s involvent, they would never have been unable to obtain anything close to it in their lifetis. It was just like the last ti when he got the Cloud Wood in Eastern Deity Island.
Ahead, Ye Futian, on the small boat, glanced in Beigong Shuang’s direction. With a bright smile on his face, he asked, “Almost breaking through?”
“Should be.” Beigong Ao nodded. She saw that thunder’s power in the void beca increasingly stronger, causing restlessness in this part of the Divine Ocean. Waves continued to rise, turning into a terrifying thunder field.
“How terrifying. For Renhuang to break through the realm, it’s almost like a catastrophe of the Great Path,” Lin Yuan mumbled to himself. As soone in the Sage Realm, he was a powerful enough existence among ordinary folks. In the Divine Ocean Continent, his level was just above average.
But compared to Renhuang, Sage Realm was obviously not even close, much like a child in the eyes of giants. Just the power of a Renhuang breaking through the realm was enough to instill fear in a Sage cultivator like him.
“One day, when you reach such a realm, you will experience it, sooner or later.” Ye Futian smiled at Lin Yuan. It was a journey that he had been through himself from Noble to Sage, then transcended as a Saint to proving as Renhuang. Every step of the way, he, too, had looked up to those who were before him. But as ti went on, he had traveled higher and higher until he far surpassed countless cultivators to whom he had once looked up.
“It seems too far away just now,” Lin Yuan said with a smile, but it was the truth. For the realm of the Sage, Renhuang was far too far away.
“If the breakthrough of the Lower Renhuang realm is so terrifying, what would it be like when Emperor Xi experience the divine tribulation?” Lin Yuan murmured again. This was sothing that exceeded the limits of his imagination.
“It can’t be compared at all.” Ye Futian smiled and said, “If Emperor Xi were to experience the tribulation, perhaps the entire Divine Ocean Continent would tremble.”
There are really two significant tribulations in cultivation. One was the transcendence into sainthood, and the other was to go through the three tribulations and transform. All other tis were breaking through the realm. Transcendence into sainthood was enough to cause natural phenonons, such as the light of catastrophe. Therefore, the divine tribulation would be unimaginable.
According to his understanding of breaking through the realms, Divine tribulation was not sothing tolerated by the rules of the Great Path as he knew of them. It was probably an earth-shaking affair. It was sothing that he couldn’t possibly imagine based on what he knew at the mont.
At this mont, Beigong Shuang opened her eyes, and the light of thunder in the sky poured madly into her body until her eyes seed to also contain the terrible light of thunder. When she looked up to the sky above, two lightning bolts actually bead out from her eyes.
In a flash, Beigong Shuang’s body shot up into the sky, bathing in the thunder and lightning as the Great Path integrated into her body, and her entire person turned into a vessel of the Great Path, madly swallowing and absorbing the power of the thunder.
“This breakthrough had induced a good amount of power from the Great Path,” Ye Futian comnted. Beigong Ao nodded in agreent, sowhat surprised. It seed that his daughter would make great progress this ti.
“That treasure definitely had a beneficial effect on her,” Beigong Ao said.
All the small boats stopped, and everyone was watching quietly. After a long while, the light of thunder in the sky dissipated, and Beigong Shuang floated back down and returned to the small boat. She regarded Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes and blinked, which got a chuckle out of Ye Futian.
“Continue forward,” said Ye Futian. As his voice fell, all the boats accelerated forward.
“Let’s go,” Beigong Ao echoed the command. Suddenly the group accelerated forward. Behind them, Goddess Donglai watched all this quietly. There was even more admiration in those eyes that looked toward Ye Futian. No one knew how such a person had co to appear in the Original Realm. There were bound to be other powerful characters who would inevitably aggregate around him. He seed to possess a natural quality that would make people follow him willingly.
Soone like him, if achieving all his potential, the result must be astounding.
No one knew how far Ye Futian could go in the future, but she would gladly wait and see.
...
There were many rumors regarding Turtle Deity Island on the Divine Ocean Continent. So people said that Turtle Deity Island really had a Turtle Deity, while others claid that this gigantic island was, in fact, the back of a black turtle. However, most people seed to think that Turtle Deity Island was so nad because the island itself resembled Xuanwu, the Black Turtle.
No matter what these rumors were, Turtle Deity Island was truly famous because of one cultivator—Emperor Xi.
Not just Turtle Deity Island, but the entire Divine Ocean Continent was known because of Emperor Xi, a top-notch existence enough to make an entire continent known to everyone.
As they approached Turtle Deity Island, they could see those who were traveling in the void from ti to ti. Ye Futian and the others traveled in the sea as those in the air passed them by. Sotis the aura in the void was extrely powerful, even a little alarming, and sotis sounds of chatting and laughter could be heard.
They could already see land in front of them; it was Turtle Deity Island.
“It’s right in front.” Lin Yuan was a little emotional. This ti, following Ye Futian, he had the opportunity to see Emperor Xi face the tribulations up close and personal. How could he not be excited?
Around Turtle Deity Island, there were many scattered islands. As they approached, they found that there were crowds everywhere.
“What’s going on?” Ye Futian looked concerned as he swept his divine consciousness over the crowd and found that countless cultivators were outside of Turtle Deity Island and did not set foot on the island.
Voices ca into his ears, and Ye Futian suddenly understood. He said in a low voice, “It seems that Turtle Deity Island is getting too crowded now, and they have begun to control those who entered.”
“This is expected. Although Turtle Deity Island is extensive, it is only an island, and the number of people that can be accommodated is limited. However, this ti, the entire Donghua Domain was alard. With so many cultivators arriving, if all of them were to enter the island, Turtle Deity Island will be overcrowded,” Goddess Donglai said from behind.
Ye Futian nodded as they continued to move forward and ca to the area where the crowd was being blocked out. An incredibly astonishing aura of the Great Path was in front of them and ford a heaviness that was difficult for them to continue pushing forward.
“The airspace was shut out too.” Ye Futian raised his head and glanced at the space above them. Those cultivators, who were traveling through the air, were also stopped. It seed as if blocked by an invisible force. Afterward, they were drifted down and landed on the ground.
Ye Futian and the others looked at the sea and saw a giant black turtle, but not just one. In this area of the ocean, there were many black turtles on the periphery of Turtle Deity Island.
“Sir, how can we enter the island?” Ye Futian asked the person next to him.
“A few days ago, there was news from Turtle Deity Island that only those in the Upper Renhuang realm may enter the island. The others, unless led by a top figure, then they may enter together,” the man responded.
Ye Futian nodded and stepped forward, saying, “Turtle elder, we ca from Dongxiao Continent and hoped that we might be an exception.”
The black turtle glanced at him with so contempt in his eyes, then dived into the water.
Ye Futian walked forward, facing that massive resistance of the Great Path, and continued. Seeing this forced entry, that black turtle of the Upper Renhuang realm raised his head to give him a look as a terrifying wave slapped toward him.
Ye Futian waved his hand toward the void, like the light from an ax slashing down and split the waves apart. He moved like an invasive stream of light and rushed directly toward the black turtle.
Boom... The giant waves soared as the black turtle rushed toward Ye Futian through the water. A hefty pressure landed on Ye Futian.
Ye Futian didn’t bother to avoid it. Both of his palms pushed forward, and a terrifying force slapped down and suppressed it, like a monunt of the Great Path. A dull thud was heard in the void, and that massive black turtle was knocked back into the sea. Ye Futian’s figure flashed. He landed squarely on the turtle’s back, saying, “Elder, please make an exception for us.”
