Noticing the scene before her, Chu Yaoyao lowered her head slightly. One year ago, she was still the genius of Moon Clan and really stood out among her peers. After knowing Qin Li, she had the chance to become the future masteress of Qin Dynasty. However, as fate would have it, she fell in love with Ye Futian.

Now, Hua Jieyu had replaced her as the Virgin of Moon Clan, and in addition, the entire Moon Clan came to the College. Hua Jieyu naturally took away all the attention that had once belonged to her. Thinking about this, Chu Yaoyao felt somewhat lost.

Of course, nobody would care about her feelings at the moment. When Ye Futian appeared beside Hua Jieyu, she, one of the top three beauties, was almost non-existent.

In the sky, Zhuge Hui smiled and glanced at Ye Futian. Then, she landed on the ground and said to Goddess Wangyue, “Welcome to the College.”

“Excuse us for troubling you,” Goddess Wangyue said.

“Master has gone to see the College Chief. Goddess, what are your plans?” Zhuge Hui asked. Mr. Du had gone to the College Chief’s place to discuss how they should handle the people from the Moon Clan. After all, Moon Clan was a large force, and its disciples were no fewer in number than the College.

“I’ll wait for Mr. Du’s opinions,” Goddess Wangyue said. Actually, Moon Clan was asking the College for help this time, so she would not request for anything else.

However, the style of the College was completely different from the Qin Dynasty. One could easily see this from Sword Saint’s attitude. Goddess Wangyue had seen for herself how Zhuge Hui dealt with Qin Yu at the foot of Sky Mountain. This second disciple of the Cottage was indeed an arrogant lady. However, at the moment she looked very mild, unlike Qin Yu who was always supercilious.

“Alright, I will stay here and accompany you,” Zhuge Hui said, smiling.

Suddenly, Ye Futian shouted, “Sister.” Zhuge Hui smiled and looked at him, when Ye Futian said shyly, “Sister, can you help me to tell the master something…”

Seeing Ye Futian’s expression, Zhuge Hui immediately knew what he was thinking of. Grinning, she said, “Go and talk to the master yourself.”

“Err…” Ye Futian had an ominous feeling. Will that old guy agree? he thought.

Zhuge Hui widened her eyes at Ye Futian and said, “Did you make the master angry? Don’t worry. The master will still agree to such a small request.”

“Thank you, sister.” Ye Futian gave a bright smile. With these words from Zhuge Hui, he would not worry anymore. If that old guy did not agree, he would go and disturb second sister…

The people from Moon Clan looked at Hua Jieyu in jealousy. It seemed like Jieyu was going to cultivate in the Cottage. It was indeed good to have a relationship with Ye Futian. Anyhow, Hua Jieyu was the Virgin of Moon Clan at the moment, so it would be a good thing for her to cultivate under Mr. Du.

…

The first mountain in the College was also the highest summit on Book Mountain. On this particular summit, many ancient palaces stood within the clouds, producing an ethereal view. There were many wonderful caves there, all of which were blessed spots for cultivation.

As the first mountain in the College, the facilities here were of the highest standards. Spiritual Qi was abundant and there were many matrices on the summit, unlike the Cottage which was very simple.

Before a pavilion on the first mountain, there were two people. One of them was an elder in gray robes who had an outstanding temperament. He had long hair and a beard and looked divine. Beside him, there was a handsome young man. He was a disciple of the first mountain, Bai Lishu.

Suddenly, someone shouted, “Senior.” Then, an old man wearing simple clothes walked in directly and shouted at the elder in gray robes, “Senior, it has been many years. You still look energetic.”

The elder in gray robes glanced at the person who had just entered. With a cold face, he replied emotionlessly, “Do you still remember my existence? What a rare sight.”

The elder in gray robes was the College Chief, and the person who had just arrived was obviously Mr. Du.

“Senior, what do you mean? When I am outside, I often think about you,” Mr. Du said.

“Is it?” The College Chief still looked cold as he continued, “If so why are you only visiting me now when you have returned a while ago? Is it because of Moon Clan?”

“I came here to visit you. Moon Clan is only a trivial, secondary matter,” Mr. Du said.

“Ha.” The College Chief sneered.

“Master, uncle, I’ll leave first.” Suddenly, Bai Lishu bowed at Mr. Du, after which he left the place. The resentment between his master and Mr. Du had existed for a long time. He did not know the exact reasons, but it was definitely something he should not get involved into. Furthermore, Mr. Du had always been very mysterious and would very rarely appear in the first mountain. Even he had only seen Mr. Du for a few times.

“Senior, in these few years, the first mountain is becoming grander and more gorgeous. But I think you have too few disciples. It’ll be better to have more people here,” Mr. Du said softly.

“I have enough disciples here. In fact, how many people are there in the Cottage? I think you will have no problems taking in an entire clan,” the College Chief sneered. Mr. Du had gathered the members of Moon Clan and wanted to give him everyone.

“Senior, you know that I am lazy and not in the College most of the time. There are so many beautiful young girls here and I don’t want to delay their cultivation. You are the ruler of Book Mountain, so naturally, you will arrange everyone from Moon Clan. I believe that with your words, all the mountain elders will cooperate as well,” Mr. Du said.

“Moreover, we have a common enemy today. Senior, you cannot disappoint them.”

“Alright. Then we will distribute them equally onto the nine mountains.” The College Chief stared at Mr. Du. Since the Cottage did not want to take in disciples, he would give some people to them by force.

“No way. You have no idea what kind of people my disciples are. Their mouths are sweet, and they are good-looking and talented. They are just too outstanding, so something bad will happen. Don’t count the Cottage in,” Mr. Du said, waving his hand.

The College Chief stared coldly at Mr. Du and said angrily, “Are the disciples in my first mountain not outstanding?”

“Senior, don’t get angry. It’s bad for you,” Mr. Du advised. “Senior, then it’s all settled. Moon Clan is also a top force, and many great girls can cultivate with College disciples together in the future. They can have friendly fights with each other and improve as a whole. It will certainly motivate College disciples to work harder. You should organize a friendly competition once in a while. It will definitely be more effective than in the past.”

“Wait, who agreed that it’s all settled?” The beard of the College Chief danced in the air. He could not tolerate this anymore.

“Senior, if you insist on this I’ll get angry,” Mr. Du said, grinning.

Seeing his expression, the College Chief was even more furious. He said coldly, “So what?”

“I am really angry.” Mr. Du’s smile grew brighter.

“You… you…” The College Chief pointed his finger at Mr. Du and said coldly, “Scram!”

“Then it’s all settled.” Mr. Du smiled in satisfaction, after which he turned around and left.

“This is too much.” The College Chief’s beard danced with the wind. It was ridiculous.

“Oh yeah.” Mr. Du suddenly stopped. Turning around, he added, “My eldest disciple will also bring the people from Sword Saint Mountain here. Senior, you should also help to organize them at that time. The people from these three forces can have exchanges and improve together. For the College, I have also spent much time and effort.” After he finished, he turned around and left casually.

“Why don’t you die outside that year!” the College Chief roared, unable to control his anger.

The people from Moon Clan, Sword Saint Mountain, and the College would be gathered together. There would be so many more issues for him to settle.

That b*stard… he can continue to drink and sleep in the Cottage! Also, why do I have to manage the people of his eldest disciple? And his few disciples have never put the College in their hearts!

“Bai Lishu!” the College Chief shouted. Bai Lishu appeared beside him in a flash and said, “Master.” He did not know why his master was so furious. It seemed that Mr. Du had enraged him again.

“Go tell the few mountain elders to go down together and welcome the people from Moon Clan. Then distribute them into the few mountains,” the College Chief said angrily.

“Master, how do we distribute them?” Bai Lishu asked.

“Settle it yourself.” The College Chief swang his sleeves and left. Bai Lishu gave a bitter smile as he shook his head. He was so innocent.

…

Book Mountain became busy again. The College disciples were all very excited: the members of Moon Clan were actually really distributed to the various mountains.

In any case, the number of people who went to Mountain Elder Zhu Qing’s mountain was the largest. After all, Zhu Qing was a lady and there were many female disciples under her, while all the disciples from Moon Clan were female. Chu Yaoyao chose that mountain as well.

The other disciples also chose the most suitable mountain for them one after another. Although they felt somewhat awkward, they also anticipated cultivating with College disciples as they could have exchanges with each other and improve together.

Book Mountain became lively. On the other hand, Goddess Wangyue went to the Cottage along with Zhuge Hui. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were obviously with them as well.

In the Cottage, after Goddess Wangyue saw Mr. Du, she saluted and said, “Greetings, Mr. Du.” She saluted him like she was a junior. Even though rumors in the Eastern Barren Territory claimed that Mr. Du could not cultivate, the first three disciples of the Cottage were all at the same level as her. This legendary Mr. Du should clearly be respected. In addition, she was quite young, so it was alright for her to salute to a senior.

“You don’t have to be so polite. You can treat Book Mountain like your home and do not have to be so restricted. Just behave like you are in Moon Clan,” Mr. Du said, smiling.

“Alright,” Goddess Wangyue nodded gently. “Mr. Du, after the disturbance in the Eastern Barren Territory…”

“Don’t worry. The College is not Qin Dynasty, and I also do not want to unify the Eastern Barren Territory. You don’t need to think so much. Just take it like you are being a guest on Book Mountain for a while. Furthermore, you have also met with my eldest disciple. He will bring the people from Sword Saint Mountain here. My second and third disciples are also doing fine with their cultivation. When you have the chance, you can chat with them. You can come to the Cottage at any time without restriction,” Mr. Du said.

“Thank you, Mr. Du.” Goddess Wangyue stopped worrying. It seemed that Mr. Du indeed had no intentions of ruling the Eastern Barren Territory.

“Jieyu, come and meet the master,” Ye Futian suddenly said. Hua Jieyu nodded gently and said to Mr. Du, “I am Hua Jieyu. Greetings, master.”

Mr. Du smiled and stared at Ye Futian, who smiled back nervously and scratched his head.

“Master, can Jieyu stay in the Cottage and cultivate?” Ye Futian asked.

“You have already asked her to call me ‘master’. How can I reject?” Mr. Du widened his eyes at Ye Futian. Then he looked at Hua Jieyu and said, “Girl, in the future, you can cultivate with me just like him. Meanwhile, you can help me to keep an eye on him.”

“No problem.” Hua Jieyu nodded, smiling, after which she stared at Ye Futian with a proud look.

Ye Futian blinked his eyes. Whose master was this after all?

Acalycal Acalycal This seems like a reversal of when Futian took her dad as his master.

Chapter 372: Training

Roboto 372 Training Translator:Vicky_ | Editor: Vicky_ /Nyoi-Bo Studio

After Moon Clan, Sword Saint Mountain also shifted entirely to Book Mountain. The whole Eastern Barren Territory was astonished by this. As the two large forces moved to Book Mountain, a super-being was born on Book Mountain, one formed from the College, Sword Saint Mountain, and the Moon Clan. More importantly, the Moon Clan was forced by Qin Dynasty to move.

Just like what happened on Book Mountain, Fuyun Sword Clan and Royal Xuan Temple had also officially shifted to Qin Dynasty. Clearly, these two forces knew that it would be a disaster for them should the Cottage send Sword Saint to attack their clans, just like what Qin Yu had done to the Liu Kingdom. How could they not guard against this?

At the same time, the Qin Dynasty had sent many people to watch over the places outside Book Mountain and in the Ancient Barren Territory to prevent the College from attacking them or Donghua Clan suddenly.

The Eastern Barren Territory had entered an era where the two super-forces stood opposite each other. This would be a key stage in the development of the Eastern Barren Territory. Once one of the two forces won, it would very likely become the king of the Eastern Barren Territory. The remaining three top forces, namely Qianqiu Temple, Witch Clan, and Ji Family, did not dare to get involved easily; they just observed the situation carefully.

Because of the Moon Clan’s current situation, the Qin Dynasty would naturally not deal with them anymore. Otherwise, they would probably achieve a directly opposite effect. That time Qin Yu decided to attack Moon Clan because the four major forces had already allied and they all thought that Moon Clan would be easily defeated. In addition, Qin Yu wanted to deal with Chu Yaoyao as well as Ye Futian by dealing with Hua Jieyu.

Therefore, Qin Yu decided to go to the Moon Clan and eliminate them if they were disobedient. He did not expect Sword Saint to be waiting in ambush there.

In that battle, a few summit lords from Fuyun Sword Clan and a few lords from Royal Xuan Temple were killed, officially starting the prelude to the final battle. Thus all the forces chose to shift one after another. However, after the battle in the Moon Clan, both parties turned quiet instead. There had been no fights between them since then.

It was said that the Qin Dynasty was allowing the most powerful people from various forces to enter their tomb to cultivate and breakthrough. Clearly, they wanted to end the era in a single battle.

Book Mountain was also very lively. The three major forces had combined together and interesting events were happening every day. Many young people in the College became much more motivated to cultivate. Furthermore, many people from Moon Clan were also being pursued, especially the prettier ones.

…

The last day of the 10003rd year of the Divine Prefecture Calendar approached quietly without any disturbances. In this year, too many major events had happened in the Eastern Barren Territory. The peaceful year-end drew a period to the entire year. Of course, it meant in no way that everything was ending.

In the Cottage, Ye Futian had not actually been spending his days in peace. He was mistreated and forced to cultivate spells every day. Luckily, Jieyu had been cultivating with him at the moment. Whenever he was tired from the cultivation, he would look at her and feel much better. Who asked Jieyu to be so beautiful?

“Master, can’t I even rest on the last day of the year?” Ye Futian complained to Mr. Du who was sitting on a cliff, drinking and enjoyed the sight of the cloud sea. This is too much…

“You’re so weak and yet you are thinking about resting every day,” the old man replied in contempt without even turning his head around. “How’re the spells?”

“Master, these spells are so easy to learn. Do you not believe in my talents?” Ye Futian replied in a depressing tone.

“Talents? You have talents?” the old man said in disdain. Then, he stood up slowly and walked to Ye Futian. “You think that you’re very outstanding? I wonder where you got that confidence.”

“But these spells are really easy!” Ye Futian argued. “Tell me that you are not really planning to ask me to learn all the spells in the Book Cave.”

The old man took out a thin book from his shirt and threw it in front of Ye Futian. “Since you feel those are easy, try this spell.”

“No problem,” Ye Futian nodded. Then, he picked the book up and started reading. Slowly, his expression changed. He stopped smiling and his look turned serious as he frowned every now and then. Hua Jieyu who was beside him watched the scene curiously. What exactly did the master give him?

After Hua Jieyu arrived at the Cottage, she had been cultivating under Mr. Du together with Ye Futian. Both of them were Full Attribute Sorcerers and were also at the same level, so it was easy for Mr. Du to teach them together.

Suddenly, Ye Futian raised his head. “Is it really an actual spell?” he asked the old man who had returned to the cliff and sat down.

“If you cannot do it, don’t suspect it. Didn’t you think that you are very good? Just like this?” the old man remarked with contempt.

Ye Futian widened his eyes at the old man. He is definitely doing this on purpose!

Ye Futian was totally speechless. Since he started cultivating with Mr. Du, he had been humiliated every single day… Was this really his master? Although his father-in-law would also humiliate him sometimes, Mr. Du was way worse.

Thinking of this, Ye Futian lowered his head and continued to read the book. Then, he closed his eyes and tried to cast the spell. Wood-elemental vines swept towards the sky with a splashing sound. Vaguely, there was a golden radiance attached on it and the power of the wind was also following along.

“No…” Ye Futian shook his head and continued to try. He failed again and again but continued to try.

Beside him, Hua Jieyu took the book and read through it. Her eyes were immediately filled with surprise. Although she had heard about merging different spells and casting together or even merging spells with martial arts, she had never seen such a spell before. Was it really possible to cast the same spell with Spiritual Qi of different elements simultaneously?

Each type of Spiritual Qi existed independently of the other types. In a sorcerer’s battle, he would often cast two spells simultaneously to increase their powers. For example, when he was casting an aggressive spell, he would attach a wind-elemental spell on it to increase its speed and power, or perhaps attach the power of lightning. All these could be done rather easily.

However, the spell that Mr. Du had given Ye Futian was different. The spell should be formed by condensing Spiritual Qi of three different elements together. Perhaps they would be able to do this when their levels got higher. But could this really be done by an Arcana Plane cultivator?

Ye Futian had become totally serious as if he was trying to beat himself. Mr. Du, on the other hand, lied down on the ground and drank his wine casually. He would occasionally glance at Ye Futian and smile to himself.

After a long while, Ye Futian stopped trying. Looking at the cliff, he questioned suspiciously, “Did you just give me a spell which can only be learned by a person with a level higher than the Arcana Plane?”

“If you can’t do it, just admit it. With only such talents, I really don’t know where your arrogance came from. I wonder why I even have such a bad disciple,” the old man sighed. Ye Futian gritted his teeth. This old b*stard…

The old man squinted his eyes. Grinning, he asked Ye Futian, “Do you want to learn?”

“Yes.” Ye Futian was cursing Mr. Du in his heart, but his face was filled with a bright smile.

“That’s it?” the old man asked.

“I know that I am not talented enough. Master, please teach me.”

I will tolerate this for this time…

“Since you know that fact, you can still be saved.” The old man stood up slowly. Approaching Ye Futian, he said, “Although you are a sorcerer, you are but a beginner. You don’t even know what is a real spell. Using Spiritual Energy to communicate with Spiritual Qi and combining them in a simple way would only produce the easiest spells and most useless sorcerers.

“Spiritual Qi in the world is like different strokes. You need to combine them into characters, and then turn them into a language. There are countless ways to combine them and different combinations will produce different spells. An outstanding sorcerer is skilled at controlling every single character and can form them into various spells with ease. Therefore, you need to know thousands of spells. Only when you are familiar with them, you can be more creative, or even create a new spell.” the old man said slowly. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu both listened very attentively.

“Spiritual Energy is the bridge between sorcerers and the characters. An Arcana Plane cultivator has already merged his will with the world and can sense his surroundings much better or resonate with Spiritual Qi around him. You need to be able to see all the Spiritual Qi characters in your mind at the instant when you release your Spiritual Energy. They are like the extenders to your arms and legs. Your Spiritual Energy will then be everywhere. With just a thought, all the characters will move.

“Do you understand?” the old man asked.

Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were both deep in thought. They need time to digest the information and put it into practice.

“Haven’t you comprehended Noble Will already? Can’t you even understand such a simple reason?” the old man added in disdain.

Ye Futian was stunned. He thought about the powers contained in fire-elemental Noble Will, where he could feel an invisible power of flame. Maybe this was similar to what the master had just said. On Turtle Mountain, he had felt an even more mysterious power. It was like the rules of the world.

“How about a sage?” Ye Futian suddenly asked in curiosity.

“Sage?” The old man looked at Ye Futian and said, “A sage can kill you with a single thought.”

Ye Futian’s eyes sparkled.

“You don’t believe it? Your big brother is here. I’ll ask him to let you experience the Broadsword Will of a half-sage.” Mr. Du looked at the distance. The Sword Saint walked over and smiling. He said, “Master, today is the last day of the year. Are you still teaching little brother?”

“This guy is untalented and yet supercilious. To prevent him from causing me to lose face outside, I can only endure the tiring process of teaching him,” Mr. Du sighed. “You heard me just now. Let him feel it.”

“Alright,” Sword Saint nodded and looked at Ye Futian. “Little brother, be careful.”

“Yup. Big brother, please,” Ye Futian nodded.

Sword Saint released his will. Immediately, Ye Futian felt an endless coldness seeping into his body. He froze at the spot, not daring to move as cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

At the moment, he was engulfed by Broadsword Will. He felt that even his body was going to be crushed under the will. If Sword Saint wanted to kill him, he did not even have to move. The feeling only continued for an instant before disappearing. In this short while, Ye Futian’s back was totally wet with sweat, as if he had just returned from hell.

Seeing Ye Futian’s expression, Mr. Du said, “Work hard, and don’t be lazy.” Then, he and Sword Saint left the place together, while Ye Futian was still standing motionlessly at the spot.

In the distance, Sword Saint laughed and said, “Master, little brother is already very outstanding. Why do you have to give him an emotional blow like this?”

“He is too arrogant and needs to learn too many things!” A meaningful smile appeared on Mr. Du’s face.

ArtArtz ArtArtz Its like calm before the storm, those three groups should join the Cottage.

Chapter 373: Another Year

 

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

---

Ye Futian was somewhat depressed. Since he started cultivating, he had never received such a severe emotional blow. He continued cultivating the spell given to him by his master and tried to understand what his master had said. Although he was improving slowly, he was still not close to succeeding. After a long while, he stopped and asked, “What spell did this old guy give me exactly?”

“It’s indeed difficult to learn. Master must be trying to upset you on purpose. Don’t be discouraged.” Hua Jieyu gave a sweet smile.

“My fox is the best.” Seeing the bright smile on Hua Jieyu’s face, Ye Futian opened his arms and added, “Come and encourage me then.”

“No! I’m going to cultivate as well.” Hua Jieyu glanced at him, pouting prettily in embarrassment. Then, she turned around and similarly tried to understand Mr. Du’s words previously.

“What a disobedient girlfriend…” Ye Futian muttered, after which he closed his eyes. Instead of continuing to cultivate spells, he started to sense his surroundings with his mind. His Spiritual Energy communicated with Spiritual Qi around him as his senses swam in the endless Spiritual Qi.

Over these days, he had learned many spells and had indeed benefited much. While these spells were mostly mediocre and probably useless in future battles, learning them still helped in his cultivation.

It became completely silent. A gentle wind blew over the bushy grass patches, causing them to feel comfortably cool. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were both sitting there quietly and closing their eyes. At the moment, Ye Futian felt as if he no longer had a physical body. His Spiritual Energy seemed to have filled every corner of the sky and earth. In his senses, he had turned into an ancient tree. All the wood-elemental Spiritual Qi around him was part of the ancient tree.

Suddenly, many branches and vines appeared out of thin air in the space around Ye Futian, producing a splashing sound. With his body as the center, countless branches and vines swept outwards wildly, blotting out the entire sky. In an instant, they flooded everything around him, as if they were everywhere. His body, on the other hand, was like a divine tree, the source of everything.

Puff… Ye Futian opened his eyes and stared at the scene in front of him. It was still the same spell Lock of a Thousand Vines, but when he followed his master’s instructions and cast it carefully, it was indeed much more powerful than previously.

Hua Jieyu also awoke in surprise. Looking at the scene in front of her, she smiled brightly. Although Ye Futian had not learned Mr. Du’s spell, he had already improved a lot. This meant that at the very least his method was correct.

Ye Futian grinned and continued to cultivate. He cast various spells at a lower speed, but their powers increased significantly. While cultivating, he also discussed their experiences with Hua Jieyu. In the blink of an eye, it was already close to dusk.

The radiance from the setting sun poured onto Ye Futian’s face, making his angular face look even more handsome. Hua Jieyu sat beside Ye Futian with her knees bent. She supported her cheeks with her hands and stared at Ye Futian, smiling.

At the moment when Ye Futian opened his eyes, he immediately saw Hua Jieyu’s exquisite face. Smiling, he asked, “What are you looking at?”

“You!” Hua Jieyu smiled sweetly. Why is this guy looking better and better?

Ye Futian blinked and grinned. “If you continue doing this, I’ll think about inappropriate stuff.”

“About what?” Hua Jieyu smiled and looked at him.

“About doing it right now.”

“You don’t dare to!” Hua Jieyu blushed and looked even more stunning under the sunset.

“Just see if I dare.” Ye Futian suddenly leaped forward and pushed Hua Jieyu onto the ground. Hua Jieyu screamed as she fell down. Noticing that Ye Futian was staring blankly at her, she did not dare to look into his eyes. She turned her head away and her cheeks were blushing in embarrassment which made her even more attractive.

“Fox, you’re really pretty,” Ye Futian said.

Hua Jieyu turned her head back slowly and widened her eyes at Ye Futian. “Get up, quick.”

“Alright,” Ye Futian replied, smiling. However, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed gently on Hua Jieyu’s forehead.

“Let’s go and see father together.” Ye Futian stood up and also pulled Hua Jieyu up. Then, he grabbed her hand and they left the place together. Hua Jieyu just allowed him to hold her hands as they ran on the emerald-green grass path. Light from the falling sun showered down on the two, producing an everlasting picture.

…

Moon Clan and Sword Saint Mountain had both shifted to Book Mountain, so naturally, Ye Futian had also brought Hua Fengliu and the rest to Book Mountain.

They were currently staying in a house on the mountainside of the Cottage. When Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu reached the place, they immediately smelt waves of aroma.

“Master, Masteress, what good food are you making again?” Walking in, Ye Futian realized that dinner had already been prepared. Masteress and Aunt Tang were busy, while Yu Sheng, Yi Qingxuan, and Tang Wan were also helping.

As for those nobles and Luolan Xue, Ye Futian had already asked them to return to Ancient Loulan. They should clearly spend the annual year-end with their families. The disciples on Book Mountain whose homes were in the Divine Capital had also gone back.

Seeing the deluxe feast, Ye Futian grinned and said, “Master, I really envy you for being able to marry Masteress and Aunt Tang.”

Hua Fengliu glanced at him and said, “Jieyu, he’s referring to something.”

Ye Futian turned his head and saw Hua Jieyu staring at him, smiling.

“No… absolutely not.” Ye Futian smiled trembly.

“I don’t think so,” Yi Qingxuan commented as she carried a dish over.

“Yu Sheng, look at your girlfriend! What is she saying?” Ye Futian asked.

Yu Sheng glanced at Ye Futian in disdain. You’re so scared of your girlfriend and you asked me to take care of mine?

“What’s that look?” Ye Futian noticed Yu Sheng’s look. It seemed that Yu Sheng had already changed drastically.

“Futian, on Book Mountain you don’t have to call me Master,” Hua Fengliu said. Ye Futian naturally knew what he meant. At the moment, Ye Futian’s master was Mr. Du, so he should make certain things clear.

“Master, don’t worry about that. That old guy will not mind about these,” Ye Futian said. “Furthermore, it’s okay to have two masters.”

“Futian, Mr. Du is an amazing person. Don’t talk nonsense,” Nandou Wenyin said, walking over. Ye Futian turned speechless. Even the masteress was speaking for that old guy.

“Alright. I’ll listen to you,” Ye Futian nodded.

Nandou Wenyin smiled and said, “Let’s eat. After we finish you should go back to the Cottage early to accompany your master and seniors.”

“I have been with my master and seniors every day. Today I shall stay here,” Ye Futian said.

“It’s enough for Jieyu to accompany us. Who cares about you? Just finish eating and leave,” Hua Fengliu said, totally unconcerned. Ye Futian immediately looked as if he had been wronged. His position in the family was indeed unbeatable.

“What’s your level now?” Tang Wan asked Ye Futian curiously.

“Arcana Plane,” Ye Futian replied. “Jieyu and Yu Sheng as well.”

Tang Wan’s lips twitched as she was somewhat speechless. Their cultivation speed was really fast. If they were in Donghai they would already be famous.

Hua Fengliu and Tang Lan were also in the Arcana Plane.

“It has been over four years.” Hua Fengliu sighed as he recalled the past. In the year 9999, he came to know Ye Futian in Qingzhou Academy and took him as his disciple. Now, this disciple of his was almost as strong as he was. In the past, Ye Futian was even compared to the disciple of Art Saint, but now so many things had changed as if it was all merely a dream.

“Yup, I have also known Jieyu for over fours now,” Ye Futian nodded. On the exact same day four years ago, they held their hands beside Qingzhou Lake and confirmed their relationship.

“Tomorrow it will be the year 10004. You’ll both be 20.” Hua Fengliu looked at Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu. Time passed really fast.

“Yup, and I can get married,” Ye Futian said, grinning. Everyone widened their eyes at him. This guy was really not serious at all.

“Wait till you are as strong as your big or third brother. It’s too early now,” Tang Lan said.

“Aunt Tang, this is too much!” Ye Futian stared at Tang Lan pitifully.

Big brother and third brother were both grade one nobles and half-way into the Sage Plane. They were standing at the top of the Eastern Barren Territory. How long would he need?

“Let’s eat.” Tang Lan ignored Ye Futian, while Hua Fengliu and Nandou Wenyin laughed. Then, the family happily enjoyed the annual feast. They had not had such a warm time together for a very long time. However, Ye Futian felt really speechless when he was actually chased out after the meal. Luckily, Hua Fengliu did not cruelly take away Jieyu from him and allowed her to leave with him together.

After returning to the Cottage, Ye Futian ate again with Mr. Du and his seniors. Then, he went to chat with Ye Wuchen and Liu Chenyu. Without anyone realizing it, it was already late into the night. A crescent moon hung in the sky.

Beside the cliff in the back mountain of the Cottage, Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were sitting on the grass. A melodious music spread out, adding some vitality to the silent space. The music was beautiful yet sad as if it was telling a very ancient story.

At the top of an ancient tree in the Cottage, a figure was standing quietly. Her white shirt swayed in the wind and she was like a fairy under the moon. Another person landed quietly on an ancient tree beside. He was similarly wearing a white shirt and his face was extraordinarily handsome. In the darkness, he stared at the lady in front of him. The lady, however, did not seem to have noticed him as she continued to gaze at the distance. The young man also did not speak and accompanied her in the silence.

“Little brother is amazing. Such a piece should only be present in heaven,” the lady said, smiling. It was the second sister, Zhuge Hui.

“You miss home?” Gu Dongliu asked.

“Why would I miss that place? Since I have left there, I’m not going back,” Zhuge Hui replied.

“One day, I’ll bring you back,” Gu Dongliu said.

“Can you?” Zhuge Hui turned around and looked at him.

Gu Dongliu did not say anything else. He flashed and left the place.

Zhuge Hui looked at the vanishing figure. Raising her head, she stared at the crescent in the sky.

…

At the highest place in the Cottage, there was also a person lying quietly on a rocking, drinking. It was a slovenly old man in ragged clothes. As he drank, he listened to the music and seemed to be enjoying himself.

“I’m really glad to be able to hear Ukiyo again in my life,” the old man muttered to himself, smiling. His look seemed to have penetrated across time as he recalled the past.

Over 300 years ago, the piece Ukiyo appeared along with the emperors of that generation.

How about now?

Year Ten Thousand and Four of the Divine Prefecture Calendar

In the back mountains of the Cottage, an ocean of clouds graced the skies along with a beautiful sunrise. Such a picturesque view. On a field of grass, music played from a guqin. The rays of the new year’s first sun fell on Ye Futian’s face. Both he and his music were full of youthful spirit. Beside him, Hua Jieyu sat quietly. As the music continued to flow, she sat audience while appreciating the beautiful sunrise. Everything seemed perfect. If only life was always like this.

Looking around her surroundings, the Spiritual Qi took shape and fell continuously. It looked like tiny sparks of gold in the air. Every bit of Spiritual Qi was so clearly visible to them as it filled the area they were in. This was brought about by the sounds of the guqin. When Ye Futian used his spiritual energy to create harmony between his music and heaven and earth, all the Spiritual Qi in the air stood still.

The first rays of sunlight shined on Ye Futian’s handsome figure. A peculiar aura radiated from him. It was almost as if he was in control of everything in existence. All the spiritual energy materialized in his mind. Spiritual Qi of all elements came together with the artistic conception created by the sounds of the guqin and assimilated into his will.

Just then, the fingers of Ye Futian’s right hand strummed across the chords of the guqin. As the music sounded, the Spiritual Qi around transformed into golden vines. They continued to grow endlessly and as the gathered Spiritual Qi grew more powerful, the golden vines shot into the sky like flashes of lightning at an unbelievable speed.

At this, a look of surprise spread across Hua Jieyu’s face. He had succeeded. Ye Futian had actually successfully cultivated the spell given to him by the teacher in a day.

The music stopped and Ye Futian opened his eyes. Although the sun was on him, it was not blinding. The look in his eyes was pure and held the hint of a smile.

Three elements incorporated into one spell. This brand-new spell had the tenacity of the wood element, the sharpness and defensiveness of the metal element, and the speed of the wind element. It was terrifyingly powerful, far more powerful than the Lock of a Thousand Vines. The name of this spell, the Fatal Entanglement.

“Not bad.” Hua Jieyu smiled.

“Of course! That’s because I’m your man,” Ye Futian said pridefully.

Hua Jieyu let out a soft humph.

“Do you think the old man has more of these types of spell that he’s keeping to himself?” mumbled Ye Futian. If they were all spells of this level, he would definitely be able to defeat common attacks from any cultivator at the same level. He would also no longer need to rely on the Nine Heavenly Attacks during battle. His strong martial arts and sorcery abilities greatly complimented each other, taking his combat ability to a whole new level.

This way, even if he made his way into the Arcana Plane, he wouldn’t have to worry about fighting cultivators from other planes. After all, as the levels of cultivation increased, the difference between each plane also increased. People went to new means and took more powerful measures. Thus, causing the effects of some of his skills to decrease. Ye Futian must do more if he wanted to have the same combat ability between different planes as he did before.

“How greedy,” teased Hua Jieyu.

“This isn’t greedy. How’s this for greed? I want every day to be like today so you’re the first person I see in the morning.” Ye Futian chuckled.

Obviously, Hua Jieyu knew what he was insinuating. She smiled softly. “What are you thinking? Would you have been able to release the Fatal Entanglement without the help of your music? Focus on cultivating. Don’t you want to gloat in front of Mr. Du later?”

“You’ve got a point. Indeed, my fox is the only one who gets me,” Ye Futian nodded. Then, he closed his eyes again. Previously, he had entered a mysterious realm through his music and assimilated into the Spiritual Qi of the world by the means of spiritual energy. That was how he released the spell. Without the help of the Ukiyo song, it was difficult to do so. Ye Futian continued on his way to enlightenment through cultivation.

Many hours later, the teacher strolled in while stretching. He smiled at the sight of Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu cultivating together. This rascal sure is diligent. Looks like I’ll have to put him down a little more…

Would Ye Futian spit blood in anger if he knew what the teacher was thinking at the moment? Need to be put down for being diligent?

“Teacher.” Hua Jieyu turned around to greet him.

“Morning, Jieyu.” Mr. Du smiled at her. Ye Futian stood as well. His eyes were shining as he said his greetings. “Teacher, the spell you gave me yesterday was no challenge at all, I already mastered it.”

“Oh, really? Show me.” The elder male placed his hands behind his back and smiled at Ye Futian.

Ye Futian nodded in response and closed his eyes. A peculiar force of will radiated from his body while his spiritual energy harmonized with the Spiritual Qi around. A moment later, the air was filled with golden vines that blocked the sun. They grew extremely rapidly and created a cage around the entire area in mere seconds.

Witnessing the spell released in front of his eyes, the elder gave Ye Futian a look. He was looking down on him. “It took you a whole day to learn that and it takes you that long to release the spell? Who’s going to wait for you in a battle? If you meet a powerful opponent, you would be dead before you finished releasing the spell.”

Uh… Ye Futian blinked. According to his script, wasn’t the teacher was supposed to be shocked and subdued by his great gift? However, he did have a point.

“How come I have such an incompetent disciple?” The elder sighed. “Here are some more spells. Keep them and focus on cultivation. Don’t even think about going anywhere else before you learn everything. I can’t stand to be embarrassed by you if you leave the mountains with your abilities at this level.” With that said, the elder threw some books at Ye Futian and turned to leave. He walked with leisure, hands behind his back.

“I…” he wanted to cuss but held himself back when he looked at the books in his arms.

Hua Jieyu let out a laugh. Ye Futian had finally met his match. Mr. Du was a strange man indeed. Not even her father could render Ye Futian speechless like that.

And just like that, Ye Futian was put on house arrest. From the very first day of the new year, he was forbidden from leaving the back mountains to focus solely on cultivation. So pitiful. Ye Futian began to miss the days before the teacher returned to the Cottage.

…

The days passed and the Eastern Barren Territory remained quiet without any rain or storm. Those of the Qin Dynasty alliance still had their heads buried in cultivation. Everyone in the Eastern Barren Territory knew that they were preparing for the final war.

Things had already escalated to this point. The battle of the Eastern Barren Territory was inevitable. Furthermore, the Qin were in a much bigger hurry for this war to begin. Mr. Du had already returned to the Cottage and all of the Eastern Barren Territory already knew how capable he was in bringing up his disciples. There was no way they were going to give him more time to do so.

After the bells rang on Sky Mountain the year before, the snow never stopped. The Eastern Barren Territory’s number one mountain was now a snow mountain, covered with a soft, fluffy layer of precipitation. After all this time, the bells never rang again. The commotion at the foot of the mountain had also subsided. However, there was still quite a handful of people who stayed behind. For example, there was the Qianqiu Temple of the Eastern Barren Territory’s Western Region. Now that those from Sword Saint Mountain had moved to Book Mountain, the Qianqiu Temple was now at the top throughout the Western Region.

However, the temple still felt a wave of urgency.

If a big war broke out in the Eastern Barren Territory, the times of top clans fighting for power would be over. As soon as victory was determined, all power in the Eastern Barren Territory would fall in the hands of one group. The people must pray for change, to become stronger.

At the foot of Sky Mountain, the Arhat looked up at the majestic mountain. He remembered the situation when he climbed the mountain last year. That was his first time stepping on to Sky Mountain and he had reached the very top. After that time, he had tried many times, but not once did he reach such heights again.

“The evil energy from Sky Mountain is growing stronger,” one of Qianqiu Temple’s monks said from beside the Arhat. He held a strand of Buddhist beads in his hand while his sight was set on the great mountain in front of him.

“It’s been this way since the bells rang. Furthermore, the force of repressed energy has also gotten stronger. The two energies seem to have kept at a balance from the very beginning, fighting from dominance,” another person said from the side.

“Could it be that the bells were really the summoning of the Great Emperor and that someone had already made their way onto the mountain?” someone mumbled.

“It’s very possible. The short period after the first bell would have been the perfect opportunity.”

Hearing the elders’ words reminded the Arhat of the first time he stepped onto Sky Mountain. At that time, someone attacked him and used the Spiritual Qi on the mountain to force him off the mountain. If someone had really made their way to the top of Sky Mountain, could it be the same person who attacked him? Also, the bells rang again once he was off the mountain. It was when Ye Futian came down. The Nobles of the Qin Dynasty had wanted to hurt him when the bells rang again. Could it really just be a coincidence?

The Arhat’s eyes were cold. He had a feeling. If someone really did make their way onto Sky Mountain, it was very possible that it was Ye Futian.

Just then, the roar of a dragon came from the skies above. The cultivators of the Qianqiu Temple were surprised. The roar did not come from Sky Mountain. It was headed for the mountain.

Turning their attention, everyone looked up into the sky. Snow began to fall, blowing in the wind. In the high skies, a dragon appeared. This dragon actually had wings. It was the Responding Dragon also known as the lord of the skies.

The dragon came down toward them. Those of the Qianqiu Temple were shaken as they took in the scene unfolding above them. Not just because they saw the Responding Dragon, but also because there were some figures standing on its back. The most shocking thing was that the dragon was pulling a carriage.

Someone had arrived in a dragon-pulled carriage. A carriage pulled by the Responding Dragon.

Even those of the Qianqiu Temple were shocked, so it was no question for the others. Many at the foot of the mountain looked up and trembled in fear. Who was this person?

In all of the Eastern Barren Territory, they had only heard of the powerful Dragon Army of the Qin Dynasty and not even they could compare to the line-up in the skies right now.

The dragon carriage stopped above Sky Mountain. On its back, the group of people took one look at the crowd on the ground below with cold eyes, showing no emotions. Then, a few youths stepped out of the carriage. There was an indescribable aura around them. They didn’t look down, but instead, focused all their attention on Sky Mountain. Was this the place where Donghuang the Great and Emperor Yeqing left their mark?
