At the mountaintop, countless eyes looked to that horribly beautiful figure. That gentle voice even softened their hearts. How could Ye Futian get with other girls when he had someone like her?

Everyone looked at Ye Futian in jealousy and envy. But seeing Ye Futian’s handsome face and his talent, they actually seemed to fit each other. It was as if they were born to be together.

When Loulan Xue saw this, she lowered her head slightly. Her mother had said that the feelings would develop over time. Men were disloyal and she was so amazing. Ye Futian would quickly forget about the girl he loved. She didn’t think anything at the time but vaguely felt that her mother was right.

But now, Loulan Xue realized her mother was wrong. The girl that he loved was much, much better than her mother had imagined. No wonder he refused no matter how she forced him to marry Loulan Xue.

Behind Hua Jieyu, Ye Lingxi and Ye Danchen exchanged glances. The scene they’d imagined didn’t happen. Instead, Hua Jieyu’s gentle voice melted everyone.

Ye Lingxi smiled faintly. Perhaps only someone like Hua Jieyu could control Ye Futian.

Ye Futian gazed at the pretty eyes right before him. His heart had melted. Reaching out, he cupped Hua Jieyu’s face in his hands. “I missed you too.” He was speaking the truth. He’d prepared to finish everything before the end of the year and return to Cangye but didn’t expect that Jieyu would take the risk and come to find him in the Ancient Barren World.

Hua Jieyu smiled sweetly and glowed brilliantly. She looked to the side at Gu Biyue and Loulan Xue. Then she lowered her head as if feeling bad. “Did I do something wrong?” She raised her head slowly and gazed imploringly.

“No…” Ye Futian felt tenderness from the bottom of his heart at Hua Jieyu’s appearance.

“Oh.” Hua Jieyu seemed to get over it. Smiling brightly, she said, “Then tell me whatever you want to do and I’ll agree.”

“Okay.” Ye Futian nodded and looked to Gu Biyue. “She’s Gu Biyue. She lost to me in a challenge and agreed to be my servant but she’s not obedient. Don’t mind what she just said. She did it on purpose.”

“Oh, you don’t have to explain. I trust you,” Hua Jieyu said gently.

Gu Biyue looked at Hua Jieyu. She suddenly understood why her beauty trap always failed. It wasn’t that she wasn’t attractive enough but that someone else was too foxy.

“You’re not needed anymore. Forget about the challenge. You may leave,” Ye Futian said to her.

Gu Biyue looked at him pitifully. “You’re going to abandon me just like this?”

“Get out.” Ye Futian’s face darkened. Was she causing trouble purposefully?

Gu Biyue smirked and said to him, “Fine. You win.” Then she walked away, but not before glancing at Hua Jieyu.

“I met Loulan Xue at Loulan City. We partnered up while in the relic. I met Lin Yueyao long ago at the Qianmeng City and trained together in the Ancient Barren World,” Ye Futian explained everything honestly.

“Okay.” Hua Jieyu smiled gently and said, “I heard that there are a lot of noble relics here. I saw many on the road these days and improved a bit. Teach me.”

“Alright.” Ye Futian nodded and said, “These statues contain intent of various elements. Each one represents a different element. Do you have noble fate yet? If not, we can go somewhere else to take it.”

“Almost. I went through the Noble Grotto in the Qianmeng area. I heard you three caused quite a stir there.” Hua Jieyu grinned.

“Did you go onto the corridor?” Ye Futian asked.

“Yeah.” Hua Jieyu nodded.

“My Fox is so talented.” Ye Futian chuckled. “Let’s go somewhere else to get the fate and then return here.”

“Whatever you say,” Hua Jieyu replied. They held hands and walked away to cultivate at another relic.

Everyone stared at them, speechless. Were they in their own world? Yu Sheng looked at all of them. He was quite calm since he was used to it.

Liu Chenyu had an odd look. Was this one thing against another? Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu really went to cultivate somewhere. Ye Futian guided and helped Hua Jieyu comprehend. Gu Biyue and Lin Yueyao watched this with resentment. The difference was so big… No one had ever been treated like this before.

“Did he see us?” Ye Danchen asked Ye Lingxi.

“Of course,” Ye Lingxi said, chuckling. “But he doesn’t have time to talk to us.”

Ye Danchen was annoyed. They’d come so far. It wasn’t easy! But then he was overlooked. Ye Futian didn’t even greet them… Ye Danchen was so sad.

“Ugh, let’s go cultivate too. There are many relics here,” he said, sighing. He couldn’t expect to be treated like Hua Jieyu. He could only cultivate alone.

Many people had been watching Ye Futian cultivate alone and waited quietly. In the following days, they started watching him cultivate with Ye Futian.

Hua Jieyu’s life spirit had evolved and become stronger with the imperial advisor’s help. Her talent had upgraded as well. As a Full-Attribute Mandate Sorcerer that focused on Spiritual Sorcery, she could comprehend all sorts of relics. With Ye Futian’s help, she quickly created noble fate. Of course, this was because she also accumulated much fate before. But to Ye Futian, this wasn’t enough. He continued to help Hua Jieyu, bringing her to various statues. She could comprehend all types of intent and improved every day. In addition, Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and everyone else were all improving and getting stronger.

Time continued to pass by. The commotion created by Ye Futian and Xiao Wuji gradually calmed down. Fewer and fewer people mentioned it. Ye Futian was busy with his girlfriend and didn’t think about the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. When did he plan on choosing a clan?

…

The majestic Royal Xuan Temple in the Eastern Barren Territory seemed to be in the clouds. At the moment, a young man stood at the edge of a pavilion with his hands behind his back. He watched the rolling clouds. One could see far if one stood up high. Standing in the Royal Xuan Temple and looking down, one’s heart would feel more open. One would feel mighty.

“Junlin, what are you doing?” a gentle voice said. The young man looked over and saw a beautiful girl walk towards him. She looked at the man gently.

“Thinking of something,” the man said.

“You’ve just come out of seclusion and broke into a new plane. What is there to be worried about?” The girl smiled tenderly.

The young man was Luo Junlin, crown prince of the Nandou Nation. After coming to cultivate at the Royal Xuan Temple, he grew uninterested in his position as prince. Even though the position belonged to him and everyone in Nandou knew, he could give it away.

The outside world was so incredible. In this mighty era, all forces in the Eastern Barren Territory were fighting each other. Talents were everywhere. Being the emperor didn’t satisfy him anymore. As an emperor, he would be in a high position and could do whatever he wanted. However, it was meaningless to enjoy that authority and glory. He didn’t want it. Now, he’d already entered the Arcana Plane and would soon enter the Noble Plane. The Nandou Nation was nothing to him.

Luo Junlin embraced the girl while still looking at the sea of clouds. He murmured, “I wish to return at the end of the year. I can’t be assured unless some things are taken care of.”

“Is it still that matter?” The girl gazed at him and said, “What about someone in the Glory Plane can worry you? Just kill him.”

“He’s quite talented. Now that the Ancient Barren World is open, he may possibly cultivate and snatch the noble fate. He’ll be taken in by some top force,” Luo Junlin said. This was why he came to the Royal Xuan Temple.

“No matter how talented he is, you don’t have to worry even if he’s lucky to enter a top force.” The girl smiled. “If you really are worried, I can ask my father to let me bring some men with me on a trip. How can a small country’s emperor stop me?”

“Don’t disturb him because of my personal matters. I’ll go back myself this time,” Luo Junlin said.

“Then I’ll tell my father that I’ll go with and have a senior go too. We can help you,” she said gently.

“Will Master agree?” Luo Junlin was unsure.

“Father loves you. He’ll definitely agree. When you enter the Noble Plane, we’ll be married. I’ll go see your family this time. Father won’t refuse.” The girl grinned and Luo Junlin nodded.

“Thank you but if he doesn’t agree, then just forget it.”

“He won’t.” The girl leaned into Luo Junlin’s arms. He continued staring at the clouds, sharpness flashing past his eyes. He thought of the arrogant figures at the Tingfeng Banquet. How were they now? Were they in the Ancient Barren World now? With their talents, they could become powerful after cultivating a bit more.

Sadly, they wouldn’t have the chance to mature. This time, he would end this matter before anything could happen. He would kill the threat before it could be born.

Ever since he entered the Royal Xuan Temple, he moved forward furiously. He cultivated madly and even won over his master’s daughter. There were too many powerful cultivators at the Royal Xuan Temple. If he wanted to climb higher than the others, he must work harder.

After countless months of secluded cultivation, he’d entered the Arcana Plane. He was one step closer to becoming a Noble!

Chapter 207: In the Name of Cangye

It was only natural that Ye Futian had no clue about Luo Junlin’s murderous intent all the way at the Royal Xuan Temple. But then again, taking care of him was the main reason why Ye Futian wanted to join a powerful force in the Ancient Barren World.

Having Luo Junlin in the Royal Xuan Palace was a threat, after all. Especially to the Cangye Kingdom. Ye Futian owed Emperor Ye so much, he would not allow the kingdom to fall into danger.

On the top of Mirror Mountain were many relics. These past days were spent accompanying Hua Jieyu. With Ye Futian guiding her enlightenment by the relic statues, her fate strengthened tremendously.

Then again, she was highly gifted to begin with. She was also a Full-Attribute sorcerer and could comprehend all the different elemental statues. Otherwise, she would not have had any improvements even with Ye Futian helping her.

During these past days, more people had left. They could not keep waiting. They thought Ye Futian would probably do what Xiao Wuji did and make an announcement before choosing a force. That way, at least the different powers could prepare and head for Mirror Mountain.

Presently, things were quiet on the mountain. The wind blew and the sunlight was warm. Many people cultivated by themselves. Just then, a figure headed for the stone wall quietly. Someone noticed the figure and widened their eyes in surprise. It’s him? Did he want to try the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall again?

Liu Chenyu had a glint in her eyes as they followed the figure. It was Ye Wuchen. Others had not taken notice, but just a while ago, she saw Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Ye Wuchen speaking. And right after that, Ye Wuchen headed for the stone wall. What did it mean?

Liu Chenyu’s eyes were trained in the direction of the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. She watched as Ye Wuchen sat down on the ground in front of the wall and released his fate.

Why does his sword will feel so different from that of others? So terrifying. At this point, everyone was dazed by Ye Wuchen as the area around his released fate seemingly filled with a force of formless swords, giving off a dangerous feel.

Ye Futian was not surprised by this. Ye Wuchen was not only a swordsman, he was also a spiritual sorcerer. His Life Spirit was a small silver sword, a natural-born swordsman.

Cultivating with comprehended will was associated with the element of spirit. Ye Wuchen was enlightened with sword will and was able to combine his will, fate, and spiritual energy. The noble will which he possessed was different from that of others. It was more powerful. Even his formless spiritual sword intent had extreme attack powers. If his opponent did not have noble will, Ye Wuchen would easily be able to destroy them even if they were in higher levels.

Although Ye Wuchen only had mid-level noble will, he was definitely no weaker than a cultivator with upper-level noble will. After Ye Wuchen acquired the fate of the Noble from his ritual implement, he also absorbed the fates of multiple powerful cultivators from the Fuyun Sword Clan.

Right now, the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall looked almost transparent once again. A formless force encapsulated Ye Wuchen’s body. Gradually, more and more people took notice and turned their attention to him.

Ye Wuchen was going to challenge the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall.

Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi were also looking over. This cousin of theirs had been cultivating alongside Ye Futian in the Ancient Barren World and they had no idea what level he was at now.

Slowly, one Noble figure appeared on the stone wall. Nobody was surprised by this. When Ye Wuchen had come in front of the stone wall months ago, two Noble figures had already appeared. And then, just as everyone expected, the second Noble figure appeared.

Can he challenge three? Everyone’s eyes sparkled as they watched on. Liu Chenyu’s eyes were glued in Ye Wuchen’s direction, full of anticipation. Although it seemed like the chances for a third figure to appear were slim, Ye Wuchen had already improved greatly since his last attempt. He was in a higher level of cultivation so it would not be completely impossible.

The force field remained over Ye Wuchen. The stone wall released a bright shining light. There was a faint figure of another Noble which caused all spectators to become extremely nervous. Their eyes were stuck on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall.

A crazy force of will erupted from Ye Wuchen and filled the entire area with sword qi. The figure on the wall become clearer and clearer until it was completely opaque, so real that it was as if the figure was imprinted on the stone wall.

The third Noble figure had appeared.

So powerful. The onlookers stared at Ye Wuchen. Everyone had previously focused solely on Ye Futian and seemed to have neglected those around him. This one-armed swordsman was terrifyingly gifted.

In the Ancient Barren World, only those who were freakishly powerful had been able to make four Noble figures appear on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. However, there were also very few people who were able to make three figures appear, so to do so was already an impressive feat. And now, Ye Wuchen had done it.

An invisible force was emitted from the wall and entered into Ye Wuchen. He remained unmoved, still wanting to challenge the fourth Noble figure. As all the spectators focused on the wall, the faint image of the fourth figure came and went. Finally, Ye Wuchen sighed when that faint image of the Noble figure never showed itself completely. But that did not change the looks of amazement people had when they looked at Ye Wuchen.

“Chenyu, it seems like you two have a pretty good relationship,” Liu Feiyang teased his sister beside him.

“Don’t think too much of it.” Liu Chenyu did not feel like humoring her brother.

“He just made it to the sixth level Dharma Plane. There’s still so much potential,” said Liu Fengyang. “Plus, his looks and the aura around him are also outstanding.”

Liu Chenyu was speechless. Were there really older brothers like him? What was the meaning behind his words?

The light still shone on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. Ye Wuchen stood there looking at it. A little while later, he spoke, “The Hundred Lands, Cangye Kingdom, Ye Wuchen.” After introducing himself, he turned and left the stone wall.

The Cangye Kingdom, Ye Wuchen. Everyone one committed this information to memory. He actually came from that place on the border of the Eastern Barren Territory. The Hundred Lands was a place that people from the Eastern Barren Territory did not head for often. It was too out of the way for them. What was Ye Wuchen’s purpose for making his information known?

Those from great powers stepped forward, seeming to want to extend an invitation to Ye Wuchen. But just then, they saw Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu walk toward the stone wall.

“Go,” Ye Futian said softly.

Hua Jieyu nodded and stepped in front of the wall. By this time, everyone was already looking over at her. Deep down, they felt as if the thing they had long anticipated was about to come true.

In front of the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall, Hua Jieyu released her fate. Noble fate of all elements rushed out and climbed high into the sky. Hearts pounded and everyone looked dumbstruck at the scene ahead. The multi-elemental noble fate that radiated off of Hua Jieyu’s beautiful figure was upper-level fate.

The Witch, Gu Biyue, never left Mirror Mountain. Also watching Hua Jieyu was Loulan Xue. This was when both females realized that Hua Jieyu’s beauty was not the only reason Ye Futian was wrapped around her fingers. This powerful female was the reason Ye Futian never paid other women any attention.

Lin Yueyao was dazed. Was the gap between her and Hua Jieyu really that big? If that jerk, Ye Futian, would have helped her like he did with Hua Jieyu, Lin Yueyao could very likely have acquired noble fate already.

Very quickly, the first Noble figure appeared.

Then, the second.

Everyone could feel the heavy pounding of their hearts. They felt it deep down. Something big was about to happen.

“Hurry and notified the people of the clan,” ordered someone from a great power. Many of his fellow clan members scurried. Their status was not enough to persuade Ye Futian and the others to join their clan.

“It’s too late,” said someone else. Nobody expected Ye Futian’s group to make their move so suddenly. There was no hint and they definitely did not give out a specific time beforehand as Xiao Wuji did.

The Mirror Mountain Stone Wall glowed with a bright light. The light grew brighter and brighter until the third Noble appeared, sending a shiver down everyone’s back. Another genius cultivator who was able to make three Nobles appear. She also possessed upper-level fate. On top of that, she also seemed to be a Full-Attribute Sorcerer!

Hua Jieyu challenged a fourth figure, but just like Ye Wuchen, she failed in the end.

Looking up at the stone wall, she spoke softly, “Cangye Kingdom, Hua Jieyu.”

Another one from the Cangye Kingdom. Everyone was shocked.

Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi felt a squeeze in their hearts. The siblings exchanged a glance filled with shock. They shared a realization, the Cangye Kingdom was about to become famous.

Hua Jieyu returned beside Ye Futian and was met with a bright smile.

Then, Yu Sheng stepped out from Ye Futian’s side. He also stopped in front of the stone wall.

Do they plan to keep going? Spectator’s had their gazes frozen on the large figure. Yu Sheng released his fate, the will of strength, metal, and wind were released. All of the noble level.

Another person with upper-level fate.

The people were now desensitized to this. Both Yu Sheng and Hua Jieyu were only in the third-level Noble Plane but were both in possession of upper-level noble fate.

When had it become so easy to acquire noble fate?

The Mirror Mountain Stone Wall glowed again, its light blanketing over Yu Sheng. Mere moments later, the first Noble figure appeared.

Will he also make three figures appear? Everyone’s thoughts were running wild. Was there going to be four freakishly powerful people from one batch of visitors who were able to make three Noble figures appear?

Not too long after, a second figure appeared. Bystanders took a deep breath. He should have no problem with a third figure.

Just as they expected, a third figure appeared on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall a while after. Yu Sheng basked in the strong, bright light emitted off the wall.

What’s going on today?

All the people on the mountaintop were rendered speechless. Gu Biyue’s eyes sparkled in amazement while Liu Chenyu’s heart pounded loudly. This whole group of people was freakishly gifted.

On the stone wall, the faint image of the fourth figure flickered. But nobody cared too much this time around seeing that Ye Wuchen and Hua Jieyu had been able to do the same before and had both ended in failure. It was most likely going to end the same for this person. Even so, everything these three people had accomplished had already shocked everyone around.

Slowly, the fourth Noble figure’s image became clearer. The flickering of the image became shorter, seemingly stabilizing.

“Look!” shouted a spectator.

This is not possible.

Everyone stared at the stone wall. The image of the fourth figure was becoming more and more opaque. And just like that, in front of their very eyes, the fourth Noble figure appeared, imprinted on the stone wall.

This…

Many people were extremely surprised. Making four Noble figures appear on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall was something only top-level geniuses could do. And now, Yu Sheng had also accomplished this. Furthermore, he was only at the third-level Dharma Plane.

“Cangye Kingdom, Yu Sheng,” he shouted loudly. Everyone jumped at his volume.

Cangye Kingdom, Ye Wuchen.

Cangye Kingdom, Hua Jieyu.

Cangye Kingdom, Yu Sheng.

In the name of Cangye!
