"Was that a threat?" Ye Futian mumbled . If Gu Zhiqiu dared to threaten him after what happened to the Donghua Clan, he must be very powerful .
"This guy is just as domineering as rumored . " Liu Feiyang watched as the man walked away . The Witch Clan always acted strangely without any rules . They'd all experienced the Witch's personality . She was honestly a witch . The Warlock was different—he was cold and direct .
"Is the Witch Clan all good at Spiritual Sorcery?" Ye Futian asked . The attack from before had been activated by spiritual sorcery .
"The Witch Requiem is most suitable for spiritual sorcerers . They can plant their own print into someone's Spiritual Energy . It's terrifying," Liu Feiyang said . "The cultivators of the Witch Clan are the rarest amongst the top forces, equal only to the Qianqiu Temple . Of course, the Cottage isn't included in this . But most of the Witch Clan have such strange powers . From the aspect of personal combat abilities, they aren't any weaker than the top three in the center of the Eastern Barren Territory . "
Spiritual sorcerers were always the most dangerous . And if a spiritual sorcerer with eerie powers could merge other methods, he would become even more frightening .
"What plane is he now?" Ye Futian asked . It was hard to determine the specific plane he was from the previous attack .
"Probably the Arcana Plane . " Liu Feiyang glanced at Ye Futian . "Your plane is lower . There will most likely be more unrest after the Dongqin College opens . You might not be able to participate because of your plane . It's unfortunate . " With Ye Futian's talent, this should be his stage . However, he was restricted by his plane . It was hard to fight with the truly most powerful . These people had almost all reached the Arcana Plane .
Ye Futian was upset . He had been cultivating in isolation for all this time . Now, he'd entered the Sixth-level Dharma Plane but in the Eastern Barren Territory, it was still not enough . Even the younger generation was higher than him . Many were in the Arcana Plane .
It seemed that he had to work harder .
"Should we go back now?" Liu Feiyang asked .

"Do you have any ideas?" Ye Futian looked at him .
"Chaoge was the capital of the Qian Dynasty . The former royal family, the Yin Family, was forced to become vassals and the dynasty shattered . During a battle, the ancient palace was destroyed, as well as many precious lands . However, some relics are still preserved . The most famous is Tripod Tower . Are you interested?"
"What is that?" Ye Futian asked .
"It's the sacred land of the Qian Dynasty," Liu Feiyang said . "The Demonic Tripod is outside the Tripod Tower . It's rumored that this is a very powerful ritual implement . It's a national treasure that can anchor the country's fate . "
"If it can anchor the country's fate, why was their dynasty defeated?" Ye Wuchen asked . He clearly didn't believe in the rumors . A country's fate depended on their cultivators .
"In the era that the Qian Dynasty was defeated, no one could lift up the tripod," Liu Feiyang said, chuckling . "Of course, no one knows if it's true but the tripod can definitely help you cultivate by training your body physically . I'm sure many have already gone . "
"Let's go look . " Ye Futian's eyes glimmered . Liu Feiyang nodded .
The group changed direction and started walking .
…
The Tripod Tower was not far from the Dongqin College . It was near the Yin Family . Back then, the Qian Dynasty had submitted to the Qin Dynasty . The Tripod Tower was a relic from the Qian Dynasty, and it still belonged to the Yin Family . Of course, things were different now .

The Tripod Tower had been a sacred land during the Qian Dynasty . No one was allowed to approach it . But it had also been destroyed by the Qin Dynasty . Adding the fact that the Tripod had become a legend, it wasn't as guarded as before . Anyone could go to experience it .
Right now, there were many strong cultivators around the Tripod Tower . People from the top forces were at the forefront . Since they came to Chaoge City, they naturally had to visit the Tripod Tower .
When Ye Futian arrived, he saw a huge tripod stand before the Tripod Tower . There were images on the tripod, seeming to jump into his eyes like godly images . It was terrifying .
The tripod was copper and green, seemingly made of bronze . The air seemed to be filled with a powerful force . It could almost absorb the endless Spiritual Qi from the world . Sitting there, no one could move it . There seemed to be a powerful matrix around the tripod . Streams of mysterious aura wrapped around it . The golden lights looked extremely sacred .
"What a treasure," Ye Futian uttered when he saw it . "Since the Qin Dynasty defeated the Qian Dynasty, why is the tripod here? Why didn't they take it?"
"There's a rumor that this was the most important ritual implement of the Qian Dynasty . It can anchor the country's fate . Some call it the King Tripod . Others call it the Supreme Tripod," Liu Feiyang .
"Look at the carvings," he continued . "They're all demons . Of course, the name Demonic Tripod doesn't merely come from these images . Instead, it's because when the Qin Dynasty defeated the Qian Dynasty, an extremely talented crown prince came to take the tripod . However, the formerly undefeated crown prince was crushed by the tripod . He died while lifting it . Thus, Demonic Tripod became its name . The Qin Dynasty thinks it is bad luck . Maybe it still anchors the Qian Dynasty's last fate .
"After that, the Qin Dynasty didn't touch it for years . Now, many of the younger generation no longer believe the superstition but still, no one can lift it . The Yin Family has completely submitted to the Qin Dynasty too, so the strong cultivators of the Qin Dynasty won't come to take it away . " He continued casually, "Furthermore, even if they want to, they might not be able to . The elders of the Qin Dynasty naturally won't do something like this . "
Ye Futian nodded . So, despite its powerful reputation, no one had actually used the Demonic Tripod . It had just guarded this place .
At this place, a figure clad in black walked towards the Demonic Tripod .
It's the Witch Clan . Many people looked at the man . It was a strong cultivator from the Witch Clan . Would he be able to lift the tripod?

The man walked below the huge tripod . It stood on three legs . He grabbed two with his hands and bent forward . With a roar, his veins bulged and witch aura snaked around him . Frightening strength exploded from his arms . The matrix around the Demonic Tripod flashed . The demonic images were also moving . Golden light flashed around it and horrible power pressed down .
The Demonic Tripod moved . The entire sky seemed to be shaking .
With another roar, the strong cultivator lifted the tripod above the ground . But then he grunted and with a huge boom, the Demonic Tripod hit the ground . The strong cultivator sprawled on the ground . He spat out blood; his face was pale .
"It's that powerful?" Ye Futian's eyes flashed .
"How can an ordinary member of the Witch Clan lift the Qian Dynasty's national treasure?" Liu Feiyang said . "If someone can lift it, they might be killed instantly like the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty . It has happened a few times in history . "
"A demonic tripod indeed," Ye Futian said . This name really suited it . No wonder people used it .
At that time, someone walked over and said, "Many people have tried it before you arrived . They all failed . At most, the tripod would be lifted a few inches . No one could raise it more than one foot . "
The speaker was Nangong Jiao . She had come with the people of the College . Behind her were the young disciples, such as Tuoba Yun, Kua Shan, and Tang Ye . They'd come due to the tripod's reputation too .
"Have you all tried?" Ye Futian asked .
"Not yet . Kua Shan wants to try though," Nangong Jiao said . Behind her, Kua Shan's burly figure walked towards the Demonic Tripod .
Ye Futian looked to him . Kua Shan had entered the College with him at the beginning of the year . He was the most talented of the new students . Mountain Elder Zong Xu had accepted him as his own disciple .
Kua Shan walked to the Demonic Tripod . With a huge roar, his bones cracked and his body seemed to expand . He had to lower his head to stand there . Back to the tripod, he gripped its legs . With a roar and a burst of power, the air shook and the Demonic Tripod left the ground .
All the muscles on his body were shaking . The tripod was lifted one inch, two inches… Gradually, under everyone's shocked scrutiny, it was one foot away from the ground .
Even more terrifying pressure fell on him . The images on the Demonic Tripod seemed to come to life . Horrible demonic light shone . Kua Shan roared again and he slowly set the tripod down . Finally, it landed steadily and he walked from under the tripod, his body still trembling . No one knew what he had experienced .
"Wow, the College is indeed extraordinary . He doesn't seem famous but he's still so powerful . " Many people looked to Kua Shan in respect . One foot was the best achievement yet today but it was created by an unknown disciple of the College . This was how powerful the College was .
Kua Shan returned to the group . Tuoba Yun said to him, "Seems that your crude power is useful . "
Kua Shan gazed at him coolly . Then Tuoba Yun's eyes moved to Ye Futian and Yu Sheng . "Will you all try too?"
Tuoba Yun always thought highly of himself but the Cottage's reputation was far above the College . He wanted to see just how talented the legendary Cottage disciples were .
Ye Futian looked at him indifferently . He could see some competition in the other's eyes . Ignoring him, Ye Futian continued studying the Demonic Tripod .
The Demonic Tripod was a national treasure . He wasn't that interested in lifting it . If he or Yu Sheng tried, they would obviously be better than Kua Shan . However, his curiosity about the Demonic Tripod was more than just lifting it .
With Freedom Meditation operating, he looked at the images . He wanted to see through them!
