641 The Battle of Deities (1/2)

The black stele was a dozen feet tall and was made with shiny black gold. The top of it was surrounded by clouds and Dharmic powers, and it was still standing firm after a few thousand years.

Behind the stele was a passage stating the origin of Yingzhou Island.

”…Yingzhou Island, three hundred li large and 5,700 li away from the West Coast. There are Ganoderma Spirit Herbs, jades, and Spirit Water that helps people to attain longevity. The Lord of the East House and eighteen Heavenly Beings are the founders of the island which is independent from the Chinese cultivation world and is a sacred ground of Earth Level Deities…”

”So, the entire island is a secret place for Deities developed by a Lord of the East House and eighteen Earth Level Deities?” Chen Fan pondered and nodded.

The array outside of Yingzhou Island carried a certain amount of space energy.

The Lord of the East House had to be at least a Golden Core Cultivator, or he wouldn't be able to develop a hundred-mile area.

But this wasn't the thing that impressed Chen Fan.

When he kept reading, there was a long description of the spectacular sight of the Lord of the East House and Earth Level Deities. Yingzhou Island had once had thirty Earth Level Deities and was the second largest island, ranking right after Penglai Island.

Unfortunately, the world changed and the Spirit Qi on the island began to dissipate. There wasn't enough Spirit Qi to support the survival of so many Earth Level Deities which made most of them leave one after another. Then, the Battle of Deities broke out…

”The Battle of Deities?”

Chen Fan frowned and continued reading.

However, many words had been wiped off.

It only said that the cultivation world was in total chaos and the Gods from other dimensions invaded the island, causing the deaths of the Earth Level Deities. Even the invincible Lord of the East House encountered a powerful opponent and died in battle. In the end, the last few Earth Level Deities left Yingzhou Island and entered the Gate of Heaven with their disciples.

”Wait! So, all the Earth Level Deities on Yingzhou Island have entered the Gate of Heaven?”

Chen Fan turned around and looked.

He only saw the ruins of the palace.

A battle had taken place which made the palace collapse, leaving only the beasts on the island.

”If they've all gone to the Gate of Heaven, what's left on Yingzhou Island? Just the ruins of the palace?” Chen Fan looked disappointed.

”Yee, yee.”

The eagle kept rubbing itself against Chen Fan as if it was telling him that it was still there.

”Get lost.”

Chen Fan was speechless.

He had finally found a secret land of the Earth Level Deities and it might even be a palace built by a Golden Core Cultivator, but the whole building had been shattered. Besides, the Earth Level Deities should also have taken away all the remaining stuff. There was basically nothing left, so how could Chen Fan be happy?

”I can't just leave like that. Let's see if I can find something useful.” Chen Fan jumped on the eagle and flew to the sky to scan the island with his Immortal Will.

This time, he scanned through every inch of the land.

”Tianlan Leaves, superior-grade Spirit Herbs, they can be used to make Ice Soul Spirit Pills and are necessary for several cultivation arts.”

”Nine Ghosts Trees, grown in the Land of Ghosts. They're not graded but they have very special uses. They can be used to preserve bodies and are also for the cultivation of Ghost Deities.”

”Golden Fruits, superior-grade Spirit Fruits and the close relative of the legendary Golden Crow Leaves. Fire-Elemental Cultivators will observe improvements in their Divine Powers after eating them…”

Chen Fan found many different Spirit Medicines and Spirit Herbs.

Since normal herbs weren't quite helpful to him at the current stage, he had already given all those inside the Green Dragon Grand Array to the disciples of the North Qiong Sect.

And yet, superior-grade Spirit Medicines were different.

Each of them had different functions and they were useful for Connate Cultivators.

For example, if Chen Fan ate the Golden Fruit, the power of his Li Fire Golden Eyes and Armor of Golden Flame would increase. The more he ate, the stronger he could get. By then, he might even be capable of burning an Earth Level Deity into ashes.

”The information on the stele is true. There are indeed Ganoderma Spirit Herbs here! I can make more 'Red Flame Spirit Pills' with these Spirit Medicines for my dad and grandpa, that way there can be more Ethereal Enlightenment Cultivators in the sect,” Chen Fan thought.

He searched the entire island and found thirty Spirit Medicines, which were several times more abundant than in the Cave Abode; he felt completely satisfied because of it.

”It's time to leave. Before I go, I should refine the array so that the island can be used as the base of the North Qiong Sect. The sect can directly retreat here if anything happens in the future. I guess that not even nuclear weapons would be able to break the array.”

Chen Fan looked around and nodded contentedly.

There were several other Immortal State Beasts on Yingzhou Island other than the eagle.

A Thunder Beast that looked like a leopard and was five meters long. Its body was as tall as a rhino and was covered with electric sparks. It could run swiftly and break the sonic barrier without an effort.

A snake which was dozens of meters long and was the largest among all of them. Of a white color, it looked like a small hill when it coiled up. The chill from its mouth could freeze everything within a hundred meters.
