The Qin palace was a majestic place . It had gone through the years of wear and tear, had once faced a risk of collapse, but it still stood in the Eastern Barren Territory . However, the Qin Dynasty wasn't satisfied with being one of the strongest three . After all, it had once been the true king of the Eastern Barren Territory . Each generation of kings worked hard to try and recover their lost glory .
There was a huge square outside the palace, guarded by armored soldiers . Below that, there were steps leading down . Right now, there was a crowd down there staring up at the solemn place . At that time, strong cultivators descended from the air and landed before the steps .
The crown prince crowning ceremony must be a grand event .
Other than here, the regions surrounding the Qin Dynasty were all bustling . Strong cultivators landed every now and then . There were even rumors that the strong from every top force had arrived . They stayed in the inns and would attend the crowning ceremony .
At that moment, a group of white-clothed figures descended from the sky and landed inside a pavilion . Everyone looked at them with shining eyes and discussed them .
"The Donghua Clan is here . "
"Yes, they're situated the closest from here . "
Many people whispered amongst themselves . The pavilion that the Donghua Clan landed in was their property in the Qin imperial city . Of course, there was nobody from the Donghua Clan there and only some servants took care of it . In addition to the Donghua Clan, all top forces had properties in places such as the Qin imperial city . This wasn't significant .
A group of fairy-like people appeared in another part of the sky . Many of them were rare beauties . Another piece of news quickly spread through the city . The fairies of the Moon Clan had arrived and gone to the Moon House . Similarly, this was their property .
After that, another piece of news said that the Fuyun Sword Clan had gone to the Sword Pavilion .
The strong of the Sword Saint Mountain had arrived too . They stayed in the Knife Pavilion, not too far from the Sword Pavilion . Tensions rose . No one knew if these two forces would get into a scuffle .
The College arrived as well . They went to the Book Tower of the Qin imperial city . It was peaceful and sophisticated, just like how a scholar's residence should be like . Ye Futian, Luo Fan, and Yu Sheng picked a courtyard, and a servant cleaned it up for them .

"Brother, you said that all top forces have their own properties here . If the Moon Clan come, where will they stay?" Ye Futian asked Luo Fan in the courtyard . He wondered if Jieyu would come . One day without her was like three years .
"The Moon House . Are you going to try for the disciples of the Moon Clan?" Luo Fan laughed at Ye Futian . He didn't know about Hua Jieyu . The Cottage didn't pay attention to the Ancient Barren World . If Gu Dongliu who'd accepted Ye Futian hadn't told them about him, they wouldn't even know what Ye Futian had done in the Ancient Barren World .
"I'll go if I have time," Ye Futian said, chuckling .
"It seems like you have high aspirations . " Luo Fan patted Ye Futian's shoulder . "I hope you can marry the Moon Clan's Virgin . "
"There's a Virgin in the Moon Clan?" Ye Futian asked .
"Of course . The current Virgin is one of the top three beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory . " Luo Fan chuckled . "Are you interested?"
Ye Futian had a strange expression . If the Moon Clan had a Virgin who was known as one of the top three beauties, what would happen after Jieyu went?
"Brother, I'm not like that," Ye Futian defended himself . How could he be misunderstood like that? Luo Fan smiled while Ye Futian's eyes sparkled . He asked, "Who are the other two?"
Luo Fan's smile widened . He almost believed Ye Futian…
"Princess Mengruo of the Qin Dynasty and Hua Qingqing of the Donghua Clan . But don't think about Hua Qingqing . She's already taken," Luo Fan chuckled .
"Brother, I didn't think anything . I was just asking," Ye Futian said .
"Yeah, I trust you . " Luo Fan nodded with a subtle smile .
Ye Futian just sighed inwardly . He was used to being misunderstood .

The top forces had all arrived in the Qin imperial city, making the city much livelier . Everyone in restaurants and even storytellers discussed interesting facts about the top forces, attracting much attention . Of course, the one discussed most was none other than Prince Qin Yu of the Qin Dynasty .
Everyone knew who the king would crown as the crown prince—Qin Yu . He was an extraordinary prince and had been the brightest existence in his generation since he was young . He entered the Noble Plane before 30 years old and had developed extremely fast . His cultivation was even more impressive . Apparently, he wasn't far from King Qin's plane . It was highly possible that Qin Yu may become the new king within the decade . Thus, many people discussed him . Not only was he extremely talented, he was also polite and was held in high prestige in the kingdom . Apparently, he had gone to personally greet the Donghua Clan after they'd arrived . Other than him, Xiao Wuji and Ye Futian were also mentioned often .
Before Ye Futian's appearance, Xiao Wuji had been the most legendary figure of the Ancient Barren World in recent years . He'd received the College's invitation and had entered as the dean's personal student . How could someone like that not be discussed?
As for Ye Futian, his performance had been even more extraordinary than Xiao Wuji's . In addition, he'd officially entered the Cottage and naturally created much buzz .
Currently, a group of strong cultivators was visiting the Book Tower of the bustling imperial city . The leader stood out of the crowd in an elegant royal robe . Situ Wu of the College came to welcome him personally as he was Qin Yu, the one who would soon become the crown prince . After he chatted with the College, he came to where Luo and Ye Futian were residing .
Seeing the soon-to-be crown prince, Ye Futian was surprised . He'd thought that Qin Yu would be busy with all the affairs and didn't expect him to come to visit .
Qin Yu greeted them and smiled, saying, "It is my honor to meet the disciples of the Cottage . "
"Your Majesty, you are too polite," Luo Fan replied .
"It has always been my dream to cultivate in the Cottage but sadly, it will never happen . However, it's a pity I will not see Gu Dongliu this time . I wanted to compete with him," Qin Yu said . His tone wasn't annoying at all . He controlled it well .
"Third Brother is a bit busier and could not make it," Luo Fan replied good-naturedly .
As for whether it was true or not, only the Cottage knew .
"No problem . I am equally honored to see you . Further, I can meet the one who broke many records in the Ancient Barren World too . " Qin Yu's eyes fell upon Ye Futian and seemed very friendly .

"You flatter me, Your Majesty . " Ye Futian smiled and nodded .
Qin Yu nodded at him and said, "Brother Luo, can we talk?"
"Please," Luo Fan said .
Qin Yu glanced at a youth beside him . He wore an elegant robe and looked similar to Qin Yu . He was around 20 years old and had a royal aura about him . He'd been studying Ye Futian curiously since he had arrived .
"Brother Ye, would you mind going elsewhere?" he suddenly said now .
"No need . Ye Futian is the Cottage's junior . He can stay . " Luo Fan understood them .
"In that case, I will be straightforward," Qin Yu said . "Brother Luo, can you represent the Cottage?"
Luo Fan shot a surprised look at Qin Yu . Then he smiled and nodded . "Of course . Any disciple of the Cottage can represent it . Our opinion is the Cottage's opinion . Junior, keep in mind that you now represent the Cottage when outside . "
Ye Futian eyed his senior brother, thinking, It's hard not to feel a sense of belonging in this kind of place .
Even though he'd just entered and was only in the Dharma Plane, he could still represent the Cottage outside . They were one unit and any one person could represent them all .
"Yes, brother . " Ye Futian nodded .
Qin Yu smiled . "So bold . Is the Cottage willing to become the orthodox of the East Barren Territory College?"
"What do you mean?" Luo Fan asked .
"All scholars will see the Cottage as the highest, above the College," Qin Yu said .
Luo Fan smiled and shook his head . "Thank you for your consideration . "
Qin Yu looked at him oddly . Why did Luo Fan reject him before he even finished?
He studied the other, only to hear Luo Fan continue, "The Cottage has our own aspirations . What Your Majesty said is not our aspiration . "
"I see . " Qin Yu nodded . A faint smile still on his face, he bowed slightly . "Farewell . "
With that, Qin Yu really brought his men away . While leaving, the youth beside him glanced at Ye Futian . Watching Qin Yu leave, Luo Fan arched an eyebrow . This trip was not so simple .
Qin Yu, soon to be crown prince, seemed to be very ambitious .
After the royalty left, they walked on the streets and heard something . At this time, Ye Futian's name seemed to stream out of an open-roof restaurant .
"Everyone saw Xiao Wuji as unparalleled in the Ancient Barren World . No one could surpass him . But that day, Ye Futian continuously broke the records . Months later, he snatched all the glory on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall . Perhaps no one can be compared to this youth in terms of talent . "
The speaker was a storyteller . He was very into the story .
The youth beside Qin Yu chuckled and said, "People always forget about past glory . No matter what people do later, they can be turned into legends . "
Many people looked over . When they saw Qin Yu's group, they were all shocked . Looking to the one who spoke, they guessed at his identity and their eyes couldn't help but gleam .
It was him—the prince's legendary son .
"All records are made to be broken . The later ones have more advantages than the previous . Every generation is like that . However, how many of the record-breakers can really stand at the peak of the Eastern Barren Territory?" the youth continued . "I'm sure you all have forgotten about what the two monsters of the Donghua Clan have done . If you have time, please think back . What they've accomplished cannot only be summarized by the word 'talent'!"
