Chaoge City had been the capital of the Qian Dynasty . After the Qin Dynasty took over the Eastern Barren Territory, the Qian Dynasty submitted to them . The former top city never recovered its glory . Even so, the ancient and majestic Chaoge City was still one of the top ten cities in the Eastern Barren Territory and flourished . There were many powerful forces there . Amongst them, the Yin Family was the most powerful . They had been the royal family of the Qian Dynasty . After submitting to the Qin Dynasty, they stayed out of the spotlight .
Other than that, the Chaoge City also had many ancient relics . For thousands of years, the marks left by the ancient people were still being discovered . Chaoge City was situated in the center of the Eastern Barren Territory, between the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan . It still belonged to the Qin Dynasty . It was a very good choice for the Dongqin College to be located there .
Today, this ancient city was filled with strong cultivators . Even Noble figures were everywhere . It had been years since the city was this busy . It seemed to have recovered its past glory where everyone came to visit . Strong cultivators continuously arrived outside the city or landed with their demons .
In the air amongst the crowd, a group of strong figures arrived . Everyone turned to look at them . Seeing them, someone yelped, "The College is here . "
Just like the other forces, the College had also come early . The people looked to the ones leading the group . They saw Zong Xu, Zhu Qing, Bai Lishu, and Gu Dongliu . They had extraordinary temperaments and were top figures of the Noble Plane . They had unique auras . Ye Futian stood behind Gu Dongliu . He studied the surrounding crowd and the ancient city below him .
Chaoge was the place for talents now .
He didn't know what would happen in this ancient city . He also wondered if the Moon Clan had arrived . Jieyu should be here . Thinking of her, Ye Futian smiled . He hadn't seen Jieyu since coming to the Eastern Barren Territory .
The group advanced . Someone had gone forward to explore the route and returned to guide them . After a while, they could make out a cluster of elegant buildings on the ground . The style was magnificent and sacred . Some of the buildings rose into the clouds as if trying to rule over the other buildings .
That was the Dongqin College that the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan had built together .
The College descended and chose an inn near the Dongqin College . Soon, news started spreading wildly throughout the city .

The College was here, along with the disciples of the Cottage .
Gu Dongliu had arrived early too .
The inn that the College stayed in quickly became the focal point of Chaoge City . Everyone knew that the event of the first day of the next year was mainly targeted towards the College . Furthermore, there was that highly anticipated battle .
After arriving, the College seemed very quiet . The few who ventured out were all young . No one saw Gu Dongliu . With the battle approaching, even Gu Dongliu was probably stressed . After all, his opponent this time was Lu Nantian, one of the most renowned figures of the Eastern Barren Territory .
The next day, Ye Futian left the inn .
As a student of the Cottage, Ye Futian had become famous after the event in the Qin Dynasty . All of his actions were seen by the people of the Chaoge City, attracting attention .
News quickly spread that Ye Futian headed towards where the Moon Clan was staying . He seemed to have gone to see one of those beauties . Many people were speechless . How could this guy still be in the mood for that? However, many also knew that Ye Futian's girlfriend had been invited to join the Moon Clan . He must have gone to find his girlfriend . Other than him, there was also Yu Sheng, the aggressive youth who had caused a commotion in the Qin Dynasty .
Ye Futian and Yu Sheng arrived where the Moon Clan was staying . Seeing a woman, Ye Futian bowed . "I am Ye Futian from the Cottage . Greetings . "
The woman studied the two and smiled . "Greetings, Mr . Ye . " She had heard before that Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu were a couple . Hua Jieyu was extremely beautiful so they were all curious what kind of person Ye Futian was . Now, she saw that he was attractive and charismatic . He was also very polite . His looks matched Jieyu .
"Are you here to find Junior Sister Jieyu?"
"Yes . " Ye Futian smiled and nodded . It seemed that the Moon Clan all knew . Jieyu was probably quite famous in the clan . He didn't find it strange . Disregarding talent, merely her looks would definitely make her well-known .

"I'm sorry to disappoint you . Junior Sister Jieyu didn't come," the woman replied softly .
Ye Futian's eyes flashed . The Donghua Clan's Lu Nantian challenged Gu Dongliu . The source of this conflict was Ye Futian and Yu Sheng . Jieyu should know that he would come and should have come too .
"However, she had her senior sister send a message to you . I will take you there now," the woman continued .
"Alright . Thank you, fairy . " Ye Futian nodded . The Moon Clan fairy brought Ye Futian to a courtyard where a beautiful woman studied Ye Futian curiously after seeing him .
Jieyu had guessed that Ye Futian would come to find her and she was right .
"Greetings, I am Ye Futian . "
"Junior Sister Jieyu has great taste," the woman said with a smile . "She said that you would come to find her and had me send a message to you . She is doing well in the clan and has improved greatly . She didn't come because of her cultivation . There is no need to worry . She also said that she will always wait for you and told you to not do bad things . " With that, she seemed to smile .
What did "bad things" mean? Ye Futian made a face . That girl was so annoying . "Thank you, fairy," he replied . He could sense that she wasn't lying . Jieyu was fine . As for the specific reason, he wouldn't know .
"You're so sweet . No wonder Junior Sister is worried . " The woman grinned at Ye Futian .
Ye Futian smiled shyly . "Fairy, can you help send a message for me?"
"Yes . " The woman nodded .

"Help me tell Jieyu that I miss her . After I finish this, I'll go find her at the Moon Clan," Ye Futian said with a smile .
The woman gave a knowing smile . Did these two care about the messenger's feeling when showing off their love?
"Alright . " The woman nodded .
"Thank you, fairy . I'll leave now . " Ye Futian bowed and left .
Leaving the yard, there was a small trail in the verdure . Yu Sheng followed him quietly . Two figures were taking a walk before them . Seeing them, Ye Futian made a strange face . It was Qin Li, grandson of the king of Qin, and Chu Yaoyao of the Moon Clan . It was hard to have thoughts when seeing them together .
Did the Moon Clan want to ally with the Qin Dynasty? Ye Futian hoped this wasn't true since Hua Jieyu was cultivating there .
Qin Li and Chu Yaoyao naturally saw Ye Futian and Yu Sheng as well . They stopped and Qin Li's eyes sharpened, falling on them . Ye Futian gazed at them and looked away . He planned to walk past them . He didn't like Qin Li but he didn't know Chu Yaoyao and wasn't part of the Moon Clan . He had no right to get involved in anything .
"Wait," Qin Li suddenly said . Ye Futian walked past him and then stopped, back to the man .
"I heard that many people from the College came . The male disciples of the Cottage all came," Qin Li said . His tone was strange . It seemed to be intentional with some faint disdain .
Ye Futian began walking again . He ignored the meaningless words .
"Have you thought about what it would be like if you joined the Qin Dynasty?" Qin Li continued .
"No . I'm not interested," Ye Futian replied without stopping .
"There are no true second chances in the world," Qin Li seemed to mumble to himself . "These years, the Cottage has already had a halo around it but that's just exaggerated . The College created the most famous talents in the Eastern Barren Territory and the Cottage contains the essence and elites . It's normal to have some glorious achievements . Who of those famous figures hasn't had glory before?
"This time, the College faces the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan . It is also where the most successful are . I wonder if the College or Cottage can bear all the gossip when the myth is proven wrong," Qin Li continued to say to himself . "The higher you are raised, the harder you fall, unless the Cottage never loses . Otherwise, it would be a disaster . There has never been an undying legend in this world . "
There had been so many legendary people throughout history but no one was immortal . Even the powerful Qian Dynasty was now under the Qin Dynasty and had to submit to them . The once-undefeatable Qin Dynasty had also fallen .
The College and Cottage would be the same .
This time, the fight between Lu Nantian and Gu Dongliu was not all they've prepared for the College .
Ye Futian stopped . Qin Li's words made sense, just like his judgment from before . However, it didn't mean anything .
Thinking of his senior brothers and sisters, Ye Futian smiled brilliantly . If one place in the Eastern Barren Territory could become a legend, it would be the Cottage .
"A legend that can be proven wrong isn't a legend . It is called a legend because it will never die," Ye Futian said slowly . "The Cottage will become an undying legend . "
"Really?" Qin Li heard Ye Futian's arrogant words . "I'll wait and see . "
"Wait and see," Ye Futian replied and walked away .
