Chapter 2752   Miraculous Island

This continent was not huge, but it was located in the most dangerous place in the Dark World, in the middle of all these major regions of terror. It was simply incredible that such a continent could even exist here. It was almost a place born out of a dream.

After Ye Futian came upon this continent, he found that there was no atmosphere of danger on this land; there wasn’t even anyone who was engaged in fighting. Outside of the continent, the fighting was fierce and terrible, but inside, all the fighting seemed to have ceased.

“How was that done?”

Ye Futian moved towards the area below and landed on the continent. He discovered that the cultivational realms among the cultivators on this continent varied greatly. Some were extremely powerful, and then there were some whose cultivation was quite lowly. But, everyone was working very hard here. “Sir.” Ye Futian was walking on the road when he encountered an old man with a young boy. The old man stopped when he heard Ye Futian’s voice. He looked at Ye Futian with a smile and said, “How can I help you, little friend?”

“This is my first time here, and I was a little curious. Previously, when I was on the periphery of this continent, I saw constant fighting, like those people from the outside world delight in fighting and killing. Why is it that once I arrived here, I found that this continent is completely different from the outside? It seems as if I have entered into another world!” Ye Futian asked curiously.

The old man smiled and looked at Ye Futian, “Judging from your temperament, your cultivation should be considerable, probably at the peak Renhuang. Am I correct?”

Ye Futian nodded; he could sense the old man’s cultivation was very strong as well.

“It seems that you are a cultivator from afar,” the old man said again. “But it’s rather strange. You have come all this way to Illumination Island, yet you do not know what place this is.” “Indeed, I came from afar, but I was in a hurry, so I hadn’t had time to inquire beforehand,” Ye Futian responded, feeling shocked inside. In the center of the Dark World, there was a place called Illumination Island?

“So it is,” the old man nodded. “Decades ago, I was just like the cultivators that you have seen on the outside world. After many perils of life and death, I almost died. But at the last moment, I happened upon this island, which saved my life. Since then, I have put aside the disputes and concerns of the outside world, concentrating on cultivating here instead. Illumination Island was named by the people who cultivated on this island. In this chaotic Dark World, this island is probably the only source of light.”

“This is indeed an island of miracles. It’s an island surrounded by darkness, but somehow all slaughter and disputes are forbidden. Anyone who comes here is forbidden to kill — no matter the nature of the grievances, no revenge is allowed here. For many years, this place became many people’s place of refuge. During this process, many ruthless people fled to this island but held on to their true nature. Later, all of them disappeared. Over time, everyone has come to know what kind of place this is.”

When the old man spoke, a spark of memory flashed through his eyes. Back then, he was someone known for his brutality. But after he escaped here, he began a transformation for the better.

This world shouldn’t just be about darkness.

“Indeed, it’s an island of miracles,” Ye Futian said. He could see that the old man had extraordinary cultivation, and his state of mind was exceptionally peaceful. It seemed that he was in a state of returning back to nature, which was rare and precious.

“Since you are here, you can stay on the island for a few days and experience the difference between this island and the outside world. After I came to the island, I was able to step into a realm that once eluded me,” the old man explained patiently to Ye Futian. This stemmed from his current state of mind. If it were anyone else, they would probably not even bother to interact with Ye Futian, much less explain everything to him so patiently.

“I really want to experience it for myself,” Ye Futian nodded. “Since it is an island of miracles, there must be miraculous people on the island. Who is the master of this island?”

“There is no master on this island.” The old man suddenly became serious as he looked at Ye Futian intently. “However, I know of whom you speak of. I hope you will not disturb her peaceful cultivation. Remember my advice.”

Having said that, the old man departed. Ye Futian displayed a strange look on his face, sensing the other was unwilling to tell him something. He was treating it as a grave matter. Ye Futian knew instinctively that the old man didn’t want him to disturb the person he was inquiring about.

However, Ye Futian had made up his mind that he must go and find out.

He now understood who Lord Yellow Spring was referring to.

At the core of the Dark World was an island of light. All countless cultivators of the darkness aside, the existence of a path of light itself was already violating the will of darkness and went against the will of the Dark Lord. The meaning behind these two contradictory forces was anyone’s guess.

It was impossible for the Dark Lord not to know that such a place existed, yet he did nothing about it. One could only say that someone was residing on the island. And that person’s relationship with the Dark Lord was rather special.

Lord Yellow Spring might not have lied to him about this, but still, his intention was suspicious. Lord Yellow Spring likely might have sent him here to his death. Ye Futian continued moving forward, gathering information on the island. After quite some effort, he finally got the information he needed.

On this miraculous island, there was a holy place known as the Holy Lake.

The Holy Lake was surrounded by mountains, constantly veiled by a celestial mist.

At this moment, on a small boat in the middle of the lake, a woman was quietly cultivating with her eyes closed. It was as if she was distinct from the rest of the world. The whole scene was akin to a beautiful painting.

The little boat drifted slowly with the water in the lake and came to shore. There were several huts right along the shore, and when the woman returned, several little girls ran out of the huts. These little girls were innocent and playful, and their eyes were full of flawless purity. It was as if the world had not touched them.

“Older sister is back!” The girls rushed forward as the woman stepped ashore. She touched the little girls’ heads and asked gently, “Did you study very hard?”.

“Mmm,” the girls nodded emphatically. As if they wanted to show off in front of the women, some even began reciting the content of the book as their pure and flawless voices reverberated upon the lake. Everything here was so ethereal and unadulterated that one couldn’t help but feel calmness from within.

Ye Futian couldn’t bear to disturb and interrupt such a peaceful scene. On the lake, Ye Futian stood quietly on a small boat, watching the scene play out quietly in front of the huts in the distance.

Over there, the woman said to the girls, “Go inside and study; I have some other business to take care of.”

“Mmm,” The girls didn’t ask any question but returned to their huts as were told. After they had gone back, an invisible fluctuation enveloped the huts. The woman then turned around, looking at the middle of the lake, and asked, “Anything else you want?”

Ye Futian knew that he had been discovered, and it might even be possible that when he first came to this Holy Lake, the other had already detected his presence. He felt that in this world, there was probably no way to escape this woman’s perception.

The reason why the woman was able to make this island a place outside the world, besides the possibility of her having some relationship with the Dark Lord, was her powerful strength. There was no doubt about this.

At this time, Ye Futian could not feel any aura from the woman as she appeared just like any ordinary person with no cultivation.

Ye Futian understood very well that such a person could not possibly be ordinary!magic
