It was the first day of year 10002 at the Cangye Kingdom's palace . Many people were grouped here . Ye Futian's group would head towards the Eastern Barren Territory . The Kunpeng spread its wings, ready to fly at any moment . Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu stood atop it, waiting for the others to finish their farewells .
"Uncle Ye, we're leaving now," Ye Futian said to Emperor Ye, no longer calling him "Your Majesty . "
"There are many strong cultivators there . Don't force yourself when there are problems," Emperor Ye advised .
"I know . " Ye Futian nodded . "Danchen, Lingxi, cultivate well and aid your father soon . "
Ye Danchen and Ye Lingxi nodded with smiles on their faces .
"Your Majesty, take care," Hua Fengliu, Yi Xiang, and the others also said to Emperor Ye .
"Take care," Emperor Ye replied . "I'll visit the Eastern Barren Territory when I have time . "
"Yes . When things stabilize, you can come at any time . " Ye Futian nodded .
"Imperial Advisor, take care . " Hua Fengliu looked at the old man .
He was blind and just nodded, saying, "Jieyu, take care of yourself . "
"I will . You too . " Hua Jieyu felt a bit down . She didn't know when she could return after leaving this time .
"I anticipate your return to your position in Nandou," he said . Now that Emperor Ye knew his identity, he didn't have to hide it anymore .
"Go . When you return, you will be a legend," Emperor Ye said, smiling . Last time, Ye Futian had gone to the Ancient Barren World for a bit more than half a year and returned to shake the entire Hundred Lands . What would he be like after going to truly cultivate in the Eastern Barren Territory?

Ye Futian's group nodded and climbed onto the Kunpeng . Other than the Liu siblings, there was Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, Hua Jieyu, Yi Qingxuan, Yi Xiang, Huang Fengliu, Nandou Wenyin, Tang Lan, and Tang Wan . And of course the Black Wind Eagle .
"Senior Kun, let's go," Liu Feiyang said . The Kunpeng spread its wings and flew up .
Emperor Ye and the others looked up, feeling complicated while watching the Kunpeng in the air . What awaited them in the Eastern Barren Territory?
The Kunpeng flew over the imperial city . Gales of wind blew past and countless people in the city looked up . They knew that the legendary youths of the kingdom had left . They were going to a place or true heroes to start their lives . The Hundred Lands wasn't enough for them .
In the imperial city, Lin Yueyao looked up, feeling a sense of loss . As the top beauty of the Cangye Kingdom, she was loved by many . Only he was so uncontrollable and never thought highly of her . And yet she loved a man like that but he was out of her league .
That was how life was . She had so many pursuers that she thought weren't qualified; the one she liked didn't think she was qualified . She never even brought it up because she knew it was meaningless .
Suddenly, she smiled and murmured, "I hope you will be free and unrestrained your entire life . " With that, she turned, no longer thinking about it . It was already enough to be able to meet someone like that and have those memories . She still had to happily live on .
…
The Qin Dynasty, Donghua Clan, and College were all situated in the center of the Eastern Barren Territory . The Liu Kingdom and Fuyun Sword Clan were in the east . The Ji Family and Royal Xuan Temple were in the south . The Sacred Sword Mountain and Qianqiu Temple were in the west . The Witch Clan and Moon Clan ruled over the north .
Ye Futian's group came from the east and were closest to the Liu Kingdom and Fuyun Sword Clan . These two forces were close, which was why Li Daoyun of the Fuyun Sword Clan pursued Liu Chenyu . However, the Kunpeng went further to the north, bringing Hua Jieyu to the Moon Clan first . After seeing her enter, the others continued to the College .
The Divine Capital was one of the three most flourishing cities of the Eastern Barren Territory . In this ancient city, there were many different clans and families . The forces that could be known as a family here were all those with strong cultivators in the Noble Plane .
The city bordered many other cities . The other cities formed the most influential region of the Eastern Barren Territory with the Divine Capital as the heart .
It wasn't this influential only because of the Divine Capital . Instead, it was because the Book Mountain was situated outside the city and it contained the College .
It was extremely spacious at the foot of the Book Mountain . There were no buildings within a ten-kilometer radius . However, many people were grouped there now . A huge demon descended from the air . It was a Demon Lion with the aura of a demon king . It was terrifying .

The beast descended and landed at the foot of the Book Mountain . Even a demon king didn't dare fly into the College, the holy land for cultivators .
A middle-aged man and a youth around 17 years old were on the Demon Lion . The youth wore a long robe and had a demonic look in his eyes . He looked a bit frivolous too .
"Tuoba Yun," the surrounding people all whispered . He was from the Tuoba Family, a Noble clan . The youth was Tuoba Yun who had recently tested into the College after passing the 18 trials .
Today was the entrance day . All students who passed the grand examinations of the College at the beginning of the year would enter officially on this day .
More figures landed from the air . Some men wore elegant clothing and escorted a beautiful lady forward .
"Nangong Jiao from the Nangong Family . " Everyone looked at the lady . Her beautiful eyes were cool and proud . Also a genius who had passed the examinations, she was the daughter of the Divine Capital's Nangong Family .
Another figure came from the road . His physique was stranger . He was extremely burly but wore common clothes . In fact, they were like rags . However, his eyes were very bright and he gazed at Tuoba Yun and Nangong Jiao .
"Kua Shan . " The others didn't dare overlook him at all . He was from the Kua Family, a barbaric and violent tribe .
When Tuoba Yun saw Kua Shan, his eyes flashed dangerously . They'd fought during the examination and this barbarian had left an impression .
More people arrived afterward .
Three figures walked slowly down the road leading to the foot of the Book Mountain . There seemed to be seniors bringing their juniors to school and attracted much attention . The two youths seemed extremely extraordinary . One was very handsome . Only judging by his looks, hardly anyone could surpass him . The other was very muscular . His entire body seemed to be filled with wild power . He could even be compared to Kua Shan .
They were Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, escorted by Yi Xiang .
After bringing them to the Divine Capital, Liu Feiyang had continued to take Ye Wuchen to the Fuyun Sword Clan and return to the Liu Kingdom . Rather than going directly to the College, Ye Futian's group had settled in the Divine Capital before going .
"We're here . " Yi Xiang gazed at the Book Mountain, feeling shocked inside .

Ye Futian and Yu Sheng made their way to the foot of the mountain . Looking up, they saw the two peaks on either side made of huge boulders . The center seemed to have been hacked open . There was a heavenly step, and faint sunlight shone down from the end of it, landing on the grave and solemn buildings .
That was the holy land of cultivation in the Eastern Barren Territory—the Eastern Barren College .
"Go and cultivate well," Yi Xiang said to the two .
"We'll visit when there's time," Ye Futian said .
"Don't worry about us," Yi Xiang said .
"I'm going . " Ye Futian turned around .
"Teacher, I'm going up," Yu Sheng said as well . Yi Xiang nodded .
The two walked to the foot of the steps and started climbing up the Book Mountain .
"Are they students too?" someone asked . He didn't know them .
From their conversation, it was clear they were here to learn .
Tuoba Yun, Nangong Jiao, and the others were already at the top of the steps . They glanced at Ye Futian and were confused . They didn't see these two at the grand examinations so they couldn't be this year's students .
Then why were they here?
"Are you here to study?" a youth asked Ye Futian and Yu Sheng . Everyone knew each other but had never seen these two before .
"Yeah . " Ye Futian nodded and smiled .
"You can't enter the College without passing the examinations," the youth said, chuckling . These two guys didn't know the rules .
"Oh?" Ye Futian replied . "Someone from the College invited us . "
"The College invited you?"
Everyone turned to look at Ye Futian, studying him . Not many in the Eastern Barren Territory could get an invitation from the College . It had always been talents from all over coming to learn . The College practically never invited anyone except for some exceptional figures .
"You think you're Xiao Wuji?" Tuoba Yun side-eyed Ye Futian . Did the College really invite the two of them together?
Judging from the one who escorted them, they weren't anyone important either .
As far as they knew, the only one that the College had invited these days was the genius Xiao Wuji . It was rumored that Ye Futian didn't choose a clan so no one in the College went .
As for what happened in the Cangye Kingdom, only those in the top levels knew and they wouldn't spread the news for no reason . Thus, no one knew that other than Xiao Wuji, someone else was invited into the College .
Not even the students of the College knew, let alone the outside world, because the College had announced that they wouldn't go to Cangye . Those who went were from the Cottage .
When Ye Futian heard Xiao Wuji's name, he thought of the man in the Ancient Barren World . He was indeed talented and should be one of the top talents of the Eastern Barren Territory . But of course, he couldn't be compared to Ye Futian .
Nangong Jiao glanced at Ye Futian and Yu Sheng and ignored them . She continued forward . Since she was here to learn, she would cultivate with the prides of the College and meet the legendary figures . She wouldn't waste her time on these insignificant people .
Kua Shan glanced at Yu Sheng and continued climbing up .
Ye Futian also ignored Tuoba Yun and continued advancing .
The group of youths climbed up to the College, stepping onto the road of education!
