Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

The jade sea was like a painting and the rolling waves were sparkling and translucent . The cloudy sky was washed clean in an instant—the blue sky was clear and the white clouds were unblemished without so much as a speck of dust .

The Eastern Sea . There was a diverse host of heroes on a certain island .

This was like a secluded peach garden . Glancing afar, there were fields of peach trees with fresh and tender flower buds, dripping with dew . The blossoming petals were flowing with a rosy glow—they would scatter along with the wind and fill the air with a diffuse fragrance .

Traces of wear could still be seen on the trails and an old well stood hidden within the peach forest .

The earth's path toward evolution was cut off in the distant past . The divine islands of the past had been locked in mist and gradually became silent . Only in the recent years did people find out that sea beasts had gone ashore and some deviants birds had landed on them .

Recently, a group of divine sons and saintesses were searching for an evolutionary holy land in the Eastern Sea, finally discovering and setting foot on this island .

There would soon be a distinguished meeting here .

They were entities from different universes—there were those from the bug race, descendants of heavenly gods and the nine seclusions race, etc . A large group of heavenly geniuses was rushing over from various famed mountains to gather here .

There were already a lot of people here, making this island even more prosperous . It was no longer silent .

The green grass was like a mattress and many evolvers were sitting cross-legged in the peach forest .

Many thousand-year peach trees were sprouting—there were entire trees filled with flower buds overflowing with rosy radiance . The scenery was extremely beautiful as though it were an elegant painting .

Zither music echoed through the peach forest . Sweet and pleasing to the ears, it was capable of calming and relaxing the heart .

There were many stone tables and benches left behind since ancient times . There were many people sitting cross-legged here, drinking wine and enjoying the peach flowers . They were fairly leisurely and content .

These people all possessed outstanding temperament—some bronze skinned giants were the size of a small hill suffused with faint golden vitality . One could see, at a single glance, that they were terrifying experts .

There was a divine son with snow-white wings on his back and enveloped in divine light like a small sun . He was pristine, transcendent and even more beautiful than most ladies as he tasted the exquisite wine from the jade cup in his hand .

There was a beautiful goddess whose facial features resembled a painting . Her alluring lips were bright red and moved one's heart whenever she smiled faintly .

Under a thousand-year-old peach tree, a young man was playing the zither . He was transcendent and free from the stains of mortal dust, his handsome face calm and elegant .

His fingers flitted past the zither and displayed the beauty of a painting scroll . The music entranced people and made them forget about all their problems .

"Divine Son Ji Ling's zither arts are becoming progressively exquisite . Listening in silence, it is like a clear stream which flows into the heart; one can experience a type of transcendent beauty . " A certain evolver sighed in admiration .

"I don't understand music, but now I feel my heart at peace and free from the usual agitation . What skill!" The bronze skilled giant nodded . His magnificent blood energy shook the peach grove, sending leaves of many vibrant colors fluttering down .

Within moments, the zither sound became lively and more pleasing to the ears . Afterwards, some sparrows were drawn over and began to dance through the air . They circled around the place and refused to leave .

This scene astonished and moved everyone .

"As expected of Brother Ji Ling of the Heavenly Note Sect, a random song could attract a hundred birds . His music is a mystery among mysteries and might aid people like us in comprehending the dao if he goes on like this," a dark golden fox sighed in a human voice .

"Indeed, the music is so wonderful that one simply cannot extricate himself . Divine Son Ji Ling . please consider becoming a son-in-law of our race," a beautiful and flirtatious lady smiled charmingly at Ji Ling who was playing the zither .

"Everyone is praising me more than I deserve . This is but a minor dao and is only capable of making everyone smile . " Ji Ling laughed and stopped playing the instrument .

Within moments, the birds flew away in all directions .

Everyone complimented him and told him he was being too modest . Who didn't know that the Heavenly Note Sect's music was the center of all attention and the founded upon many a saint-level work of art? A performance could calm the mind and allow one to comprehend the dao .

"Too many things have happened recently . Have you heard that the divine son Zhou Hai of Guiyi Sect has drawn a black vortex energy form . It's extremely terrifying and rushed into the top two-hundred of the dark horse rankings as soon as it came into being . It's truly shocking," someone sighed .

Lan Shi, the woman with facial features akin to a painting, was extremely beautiful . At this moment, she nodded and said with her alluring red lips, "I heard that this black vortex energy form possesses astonishing crushing power . According to assessments, its rank can still improve by a great margin . "

Everyone was moved and confirmed Lai Shi's words .

"Oh, didn't that Chu Feng also produce a type of energy form and enter the dark horse rankings? His ranking is also quite similar to Divine Son Zhou Hai's black vortex energy form .

There was an awkward silence the moment this name was brought up . That was because some of the people here had gone to hunt him down and had confronted him .

"Zhou Hai's brother Zhou Sheng will come here and we might find some unexpected surprises . It's possible that Zhao Hai himself has stepped onto this planet and might come here . " Someone guessed .

"If that is the case then I hope Chu Feng will come . Things will be quite lively if he can meet Zhou Hai . I really want to see who's weaker and who's stronger . "

A commotion was heard at this moment . Many people rushed toward a certain direction as if a certain extraordinary character was about to arrive .

"Divine son, Fu Huang has arrived!"

As expected, with this shout, even the group of extraordinary evolvers could no longer sit still and stood up in succession .

Word out there was that he had cultivated his breathing technique to a certain level and was looking for worth experts to surround and attack him, in order to sharpen himself .

Fu Huang was enveloped in mist and qi was flowing between his mouth and nose like a draconic pillar . He was surrounded by people the moment he came onto the island like the moon surrounded by the stars .

Doubtlessly, he was very powerful and famous .

It immediately became rather clamorous on the island . Fu Huang immediately became the center of attention after arriving .

But he was only one of the leading figures .

Before long, jade-green waves raged as a flying sword shot through the sky and slashed apart the ripples . A lady arrived through the air with brilliant sword lights behind her back!

"Xu Jing of the Great Xu Imperial Court has arrived!"

Another commotion ensued as the people got up and glanced outside of the island . They attached great importance to the fairy of the Great Xu evolvers dynasty and didn't dare act irreverently .

That was because she wasn't just an imperial daughter who had a powerful dynastic behind her back, but also because her master was even more terrifying and related to the top ten!

Naturally, there was no need to explain a lot about her own identity; her strength was terrifying . She didn't only look beautiful and lithe, but her sword dao was godlike . With a sword in hand, it was difficult for her to find an opponent .

Apart from Xu Jing and Fu Huang, there were also other leading characters like Yuan Mo, the demonic son . This made the entire island become lively and everyone felt this distinguished gathering would be even more extraordinary than they had imagined .

No one had expected that some saint children and goddesses possessed extremely great origins . They didn't know before that these people had descended on earth .

Presently, the descenders of every star passage were here to search for the Eastern Sea ruins . They were gathered here to discuss some matters and prevent a bloody battle from happening after finding the fortunes .

"Oh, people like Fu Huang, Xu Jing, Yuan Mo have come . I really hope Chu Feng will appear . Isn't he so insolent that he can sell saint children and capture saintesses to warm his bed? He'll be beaten to death if he dares come here!"

Chu Feng's enemies were stirring up the people and hoping for him to appear . They wanted to see those like Fu Huang, Xu Jing and Yuan Mo hunt him down and suppress him here .
