Standing below Sky Mountain, Zhuge Hui looked up . She could feel that the pressure had strengthened after the bell .
"Does this mountain really have a spirit? Are the intents of the two emperors really looking and keeping Nobles from stepping onto the mountain?" Zhuge Hui asked .
Bells rang from Sky Mountain for some reason, pushing down all Nobles .
"If the intents of the two emperors really are here, there's no need to do this," Gu Dongliu murmured, looking up .
Donghuang the Great was the ruler of the Divine Prefectures of the East . He wouldn't care about the plane of those who climbed the mountain .
"I think we came for nothing . " Xue Ye and Luo Fan were annoyed too after knowing that there was no hope for them .
"Xiaoshi, Xing'er, Junior, only you all can go," Luo Fan said .
Ye Futian nodded . He looked up at the high peaks . Snow fell down lazily, draping many people in a layer of white .
The Cottage disciples weren't the only ones who realized this . The mountain elders of the College were also advising the younger generation . Similarly, at the Qin Dynasty, Qin Yu was telling his people, "Qin Li, seems that only you all can go . "
"Yes, father . " Qin Li nodded .
"Don't hold back if you have the chance . " Qin Yu's eyes flashed coldly . He still hadn't taken revenge for Qin Ge by killing Gu Dongliu .
"I understand . " Qin Li's eyes were cold .
Beside them, Lady Yuxiao of the Donghua Clan looked to Hua Qingqing . She murmured, "Qingqing, will you go?"

"Yes . " Hua Qingqing nodded . She wanted to go see what Sky Mountain was like .
Lu Nantian gazed at her with gentle eyes . He reached out as if wanting to caress her flawless features . But as if afraid of tainting her, he just touched the strands of hair by her hair . "Come down if you run into any danger," he said gently .
"Okay," Hua Qingqing replied .
"Take care of her," Lu Nantian instructed the disciples of the Donghua Clan .
They nodded . If nothing unexpected happened, Lu Nantian would be the next leader of the Donghua Clan; Hua Qingqing would be the lady . Qian Shanmu was talented too but still far from Lu Nantian .
Hua Qingqing and the people of the Donghua Clan started walking away . Lady Yuxia muttered, "Legend says that only those with pure hearts can climb up Sky Mountain . Qingqing is pure and untainted . If anyone can make it, I'm sure Qingqing will succeed over the people of the Qianqiu Temple . "
"I believe that too . " Lu Nantian smiled at the pure and flawless backside . He hoped she could see the scenery of Sky Mountain .
At this time, Gu Zhiqiu looked back at the clan leader of the Witch Clan who'd been forced down the mountain . The man nodded at him and said, "Only you can plant the demonic way into others . The Sky Mountain can't stop you . Go without worry . The ring of the Great is a call to you . "
Gu Zhiqiu looked to his master . Could he do it? Even the most talented man of the Eastern Barren Territory would lose confidence when faced with Sky Mountain that the Great had once come to .
"Senior Brother, you can do it," Gu Biyue said, smiling . Gu Zhiqiu nodded . Eyes determined, he continued walking .
The Arhat also looked at the foot of the mountain . A monk there put his hands together and chanted . The Arhat did the same and turned to climb the mountain .
Qi Ao was still together with the people of the Fuyun Sword Clan . Only the seventh summit was missing from the seven summits of the clan . Ye Wuchen, a swordsman of the seventh summit, had been banished by the clan leader . Now, he stayed with Ye Futian .
Strong cultivators of the Moon Clan, Royal Xuan Temple, Ji Family, and others gradually started climbing too . Some people had sped up on the road but not many chased after them . If it was really so easy, they wouldn't have waited until today .
"Let's go," Ye Futian said . The group of disciples from the Cottage, College, and Sword Saint Mountain all set off together .

"Follow them," Zhuge Hui said to Xue Ye and Luo Fan . The two understood their senior sister; she wanted them to follow Ye Futian's group . Though they'd given up on climbing the mountain, they had to stop Nobles from the Qin Dynasty and other groups . When they couldn't continue, the Nobles of the Qin Dynasty also wouldn't be able to continue .
People were everywhere on the mountain . Ye Futian felt the faint might coming down on him . There was also a sense of evil affecting him . This formless spiritual intent seemed to be omnipresent .
Ye Futian wasn't far from here . He saw the Moon Clan but sadly, didn't see Jieyu though Chu Yaoyao was present .
"Hello, fairy . " Ye Futian saw a familiar face . She was Yun Rou, the disciple of Xiao Yueju and senior sister of Jieyu .
Yun Rou smiled at Ye Futian . This guy was such a sweet talker . She didn't say anything to Ye Futian though . The situation in the Eastern Barren Territory was ambiguous and the Moon Clan didn't want to lean towards any side .
The mountain road was vast and the powerful group of strong cultivators climbed up . Snow floated down from Sky Mountain, bringing coldness with it . The entire mountain was covered in a layer of white .
Some people were fast; others were slow . Ye Futian's group maintained the same speed, neither fast nor slow . They could feel the formless pressure and invading evil intent getting stronger as they climbed .
Some people of the Arcana Plane already started feeling the pressure .
"How tall is the mountain?" Ye Futian asked Du Ming from the Sword Saint Mountain .
Du Ming was Mo Xie's disciple . He was the third generation of Sword Saint Mountain . He was older and more skilled than Ye Futian but had to call him "grand uncle master . " The status of the Cottage made them speechless .
"No one has climbed to the top in all these years," Du Ming replied . "I don't know how tall it is . Some say that it goes as high as the sky and climbing it is as hard as climbing the sky . "
Ye Futian couldn't reply . When he climbed Turtle Mountain, he could at least see the approximate height . Though he could fly in Sky Mountain, he didn't know how tall it was . The peak was in the clouds .
"Let's hurry up a bit," Ye Futian said . Everyone sped up . As they continued, low cries sounded beside Ye Futian . He looked to the Black Wind Eagle with its wings spread out . "What's wrong?"
The bird hung its head; its limbs drooped on the ground .

"You can do it . " Ye Futian patted the Black Wind Eagle's forehead . Its eyes sharpened a bit and nodded forcefully . It continued going upward with Ye Futian .
As they kept climbing, they gradually moved to the middle of the mountain . Various peaks loomed over them, surrounding them in the mountain's belly . Ye Futian's heart sped up as if there was a strange rhythm . The evil feeling strengthened and the Black Wind Eagle's eyes glowed with red light as it stared ahead .
Many people stopped here .
Ye Futian's group walked up and saw a canyon going upward . There were images on the walls of Demon Birds . There was also a black roc with sharp black feathers and claws . It seemed to have come from hell . Each image seemed ready to jump out of the wall . There were many corpses on the road . Some of the bodies were very tragic and hard to look at .
Ye Futian just glanced at the wall and already felt a Demon Bird flying into his mind . He instantly looked away from the wall .
The Arhat and people of the Qianqiu Temple were at the center of the walls now . Buddhist light dazzled on them . The demons couldn't reach them . The Demon Birds seemed to fly to them but were stopped by the Buddhist light .
The Qianqiu Temple is most likely to climb to the peak, many people thought when seeing this .
The strong cultivators of the Qin Dynasty walked out first . They activated the Dragon Emperor Technique . Roars filled the sky and dragons protected them as they walked . They passed through the space but didn't leave . Instead, they looked back to Ye Futian's group . The Witch Clan followed them, showing their own skills .
At this time, a quiet beauty walked out from the crowd . Many people gazed at her . Hua Qingqing, one of the Eastern Barren Territory's top beauties, was going alone?
"Miss . " Qian Shanmu and many other Donghua disciples walked up .
"No need," Hua Qingqing said softly . Music notes pulsed on her body and a layer of sacred light covered her . Music emanated from her as she walked forward . The music was so pure, without any impurities . The evil Demon Birds seemed to brush past without touching her .
"As expected of the Donghua Clan's daughter," Qin Li praised .
"Grand Uncle Master, should we escort you?" Du Ming asked .
"Sure . " Ye Futian nodded naturally, surprising the people of the Sword Saint Mountain . This grand uncle master was from the Cottage, after all . Du Ming had just asked out of politeness and he took it?
"Broadsword Matrix," Du Ming said . The disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain stood together to form the matrix . The light from the swords created a curtain of light, surrounding them .
"The Cottage will use this type of trick?" a mocking voice said .
Ye Futian turned to see Qi Ao and the Fuyun Sword Clan standing there . Afterward, they gathered their sword intent into beams of dazzling sword light . They shot into the sky and passed through the space . When they reached the other end, they turned back to Ye Futian's group mockingly .
Many people looked at their group strangely . They'd anticipated seeing the Cottage disciples go forward . They didn't think that the Cottage couldn't do it but this was still disappointing .
"Are we getting looked down upon?" Yi Xiaoshi asked .
"I think so . " Ye Futian nodded .
"Senior Sister and us will go first . You can do it . " Yi Xiaoshi patted Ye Futian's shoulder .
Ye Futian stared at him . "Shouldn't you do it?"
"I don't have to do it if you can . " Yi Xiaoshi looked to Du Ming . "Let's go . "
"Okay . " Du Ming nodded . The broadsword matrix escorted the people across the space, leaving Ye Futian alone . Even the Black Wind Eagle was taken with .
"You're okay with this?" Ye Futian muttered as he walked forward .
Many people looked at him as he stepped onto the path between the walls . The images on the walls seemed to come to life, crazily rushing to him .
Countless eyes froze on him, watching him just walk over like that . Qin Li and Qi Ao narrowed their eyes . Was this guy looking to die?
The horrible Demon Birds landed directly on him, about to rush into his body . Many people even closed their eyes . People had died like this .
"Annoying . "
They heard Ye Futian's voice at this time and discovered with shock that Ye Futian was walking forward totally unaffected!
