“This…”Everyone was completely shaken by the magnificent sight in front of them. The whole Deity Island was moving, and the Flowering Tree of the Great Path seemed to have sensed something and wanted to break out from the sea, as countless branches and leaves now reached upward to the sky, overshadowing all those figures within its boundary.

Everyone who stepped onto the ancient tree was shrouded in branches and leaves, and so was Jun Qiuyan. There was a clattering sound as countless branches and leaves rushed toward him, and many flowers opened up at him as if they had blossomed for him.

At this moment, Jun Qiuyan could feel his heart bursting. Even though he was a cultivator in the realm of Renhuang, he could hardly contain the excitement in his heart.

As a member of the Jun family, one of the top principalities of Penglai Deity Island, he was quite familiar with the lore of the Flowering Tree. The Flowering Tree was an ancient tree of the Great Path, and as such, its perception of the Great Path was quite sensitive. Generally speaking, the stronger the comprehension and affinity of the Great Path exhibited by a cultivator, the more welcoming the Flowering Trees would be, so that it would also imply the achievement of the cultivator in the Great Path was higher.

Now, when the Flowering Tree reacted so strangely when he got here, how could he not take it as a sign and be excited? As the young master of the Jun family from Penglai Deity Island, he had his ambition. Divine Prefecture was too vast, and Penglai Deity Island was only one of the continents in the Donghua Domain and not even a top-level continent at that.

If he could be recognized by the Flowering Tree and have the flowers blossoming for him, then the forces of Eastern Deity Island might be helpful to him, and with his talent in the Great Path, he may yet go further in the future, such as to the main city of Donghua Domain, and then on to the vast world beyond after that.

Jun Qiuyan’s heart was throbbing as he faced the blossoming flowers, expecting them to come toward him.

But at this moment, as the clattering sounds were heard, the branches and leaves of the Flowering Tree passed beside him, just as those blossoming flowers also sailed past by him, bypassing him without welcoming him, nor did they bloom upon him.

It seemed that the movement of the Flower Tree was not because of him.

This sight caused Jun Qiuyan’s fiery heart to cool down instantly as if he had overjoyed over nothing.

Extreme disappointment was akin to falling from cloud nine in an instant.

However, he was still holding on to a glimmer of hope. But as more and more branches and flowers bypassing him, he became hopeless and gradually regained his senses as he realized that the flowers were not blooming because of him.

When the flowers were in full bloom, someone as proud as Jun Qiuyan would naturally consider himself as the cause of it because of his innate pride and desire. However, he did not completely lack self-awareness. He knew that even with his outstanding talent, he was not unparalleled, far from unprecedented in all of Penglai Continent.

When he cooled down, many things became clear to him.

However, if it was not because of him, then for whom was the Flowering Tree moving?

Quite a few cultivators were traveling with him, including some powerful cultivators from Penglai Continent. But as far as he knew, none of them possessed such talent.

So, who could it be?

He turned his head, but he was inside the space of the ancient tree, and his vision was blocked. He was already wrapped within and couldn’t see anybody else. Even his divine consciousness could not break through the covering of the ancient tree.

“It couldn’t be him, could it?” A thought flashed through Jun Qiuyan’s mind, but this thought was like a thorn that made him feel extremely uncomfortable, so he instantly cast it aside.

How could it be possible? If he was so outstanding, he wouldn’t be here on an unnamed land.

He didn’t want to think about the possibility of it.

Jun Qiuyan didn’t want to speculate, but Beigong Ao immediately thought of Ye Futian. Emperor Helian had always thought of him as an old fox, and indeed, he was good at assessing any situation, and he was extremely accurate in his calculations. For example, he was certain that Emperor Helian and his cohort could not get a hold of Liu Han, so he decided to stay neutral. That way, he could reap all the benefits from Liu Han without having to get involved. In the end, when Emperor Helian would not succeed in his scheme, and Liu Han remained as the Pavilion Master, there would only be gains and no loss for him.

But when Ye Futian appeared, he made a swift decision and re-positioned himself.

Later, there were those who wanted to alienate his relationship with Ye Futian. Not only did he not hold a grudge against Ye Futian, on the contrary, but he also sent his favorite daughter Beigong Shuang to get close to Ye Futian.

He had already reached a conclusion as Emperor Helian, but he did even more than Emperor Helian by sending his people to Senluo Manor.

Therefore, at this moment, when there was a terrific change in the Flowering Tree, he thought of Ye Futian immediately. It was precisely when Ye Futian set foot here that the Flowering Tree began to move.

Moreover, those endless branches and leaves and the blooming flowers swept in their direction and submerged them all in an instant. Of course, they were not blooming for him.

Then, he believed that all these happenings were because of Ye Futian.

The reason why he was so certain was that Ye Futian had also achieved something that was unprecedented, which was the holy manifestation of spirit on the statue in front of Dongyuan Pavilion.

Before Ye Futian, no one had done anything like it, so the master of the statue had appointed Ye Futian to be in charge of Dongyuan Pavilion. Beigong Ao speculated that Ye Futian was probably able to do it because he had resonated with the statue, which urged its hidden Will.

“Manifestation of the holy spirit on the statue, the Flowering Tree bloomed for him.” Beigong Ao thought, Just what level is Ye Futian’s talent?

Why would someone like this appear in Dongyuan Pavilion?

Could it be that he was a disciple of some supreme principality coming to the Lower Worlds for trials?

Of course, Ye Futian himself was also aware of it. At the moment when he released the breath of the Great Path, he clearly felt the towering sacred tree on Eastern Deity Island seemed to be summoned, rushing toward him, and Ye Futian faintly felt the extreme excitement of the Flowering Tree.

In a blink, the flowers bloomed in front of him, rushing toward him, seemed to be fighting for his favor.

Not only that, but he felt that this gigantic Flowering Tree wanting to rush out and become one with his body.

Could it be that the ancient tree of the world was a deity of trees? The Flowering Tree had sensed it, and thus its reaction?

When the branches, the leaves, and the flowers interacted with him, his perception became extremely clear, and his divine consciousness was unhindered. He was able to perceive everything in this space through the Flowering Tree. He saw the location of Helian You and Beigong Shuang, and he also saw Emperor Helian and the others.

“No, this Flowering Tree is the sacred tree of Eastern Deity Island. If I take it away as soon as I come here, not to mention the reaction of people on the Eastern Deity Island, I will make myself a target for all these cultivators who had come here,” Ye Futian thought. The last thing he wanted was to attract everyone’s attention as soon as he entered Eastern Deity Island.

These thousand or so cultivators and the presence of so many mighty Renhuang would be troublesome for him.

The aura of the Great Path surged in front of him, and at this moment, Ye Futian felt that the power of the Great Path was moving extremely smoothly as if he could borrow from it.

In an instant, the magnificent power of the spatial Great Path enveloped his body, and then the light of space went toward Emperor Helian and the others.

Outside, everyone was still immersed in this shocking occurrence, watching the Flowering Tree trembling madly.

But just then, the crowd saw that the Flowering Tree suddenly fell silent again, no longer excited. Then, the branches and leaves rolled back as the blooming flowers seemed to wither and closed up, and everything returned to its original state.

In a few short moments, the Flowering Tree remained the same, without anything being unusual.

Ye Futian and the others stood together. There was no aura released from Ye Futian’s body, and the aura of the Great Path inside his body was imprisoned by him, preventing the Flowering Tree from perceiving it.

The Flowering Tree was activated by the Way, and if it could not feel the aura of the Great Path, it would naturally quiet down.

“What’s going on?” many people questioned.

Exact what had happened? Could it be that everything that had happened before was just an illusion?
