Ye Futian and the others continued on their way. This area was like a barren wasteland. Occasionally, demons appeared but no one could be seen.
On the Black Wind Eagle, Yu Sheng asked, "Do you know what fate is?"
"Yes." "Fate is similar to the power of will. That demon beast was able to merge with the wind, so it must have controlled a strong wind will. Perhaps it was born from a relic in the Ancient Barren World, or it ate some treasure. In the Ancient Barren World, this power becomes fate. When it's strong enough, it may undergo a qualitative change. If it's born with noble will, it has the potential to become a strong cultivator in the Noble Plane. This process may require the help of one's own comprehension."
Ye Futian speculated this because he'd felt the power of intent before. It was similar.
"You can see the beast's fate?" Yu Sheng asked.
"As long as the demon shows this kind of power, I can." Ye Futian smiled. The Black Wind Eagle continued forward. Every once in a while, a fire would be left on the ground. The smell of barbecued meat lingered.
Along the way, there was endless delicious food. More and more fate gathered. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng realized that fate could be merged with one's own power to increase one's strength.
Half a month later, Ye Futian and the others could finally see humans hunting in this barren area.
Not far ahead, the ground shook. Ye Futian looked over and saw a wild demon bear running on the ground. The bear was completely white. Everywhere it passed, the grass and trees froze.
"Yu Sheng," Ye Futian called. Yu Sheng understood immediately. He picked up his hammer and ran towards the demon bear.
The demon bear lifted its head. Its eyes were fierce. With a loud roar, Yu Sheng's body was covered in frost. He was about to be frozen. An extremely cold intent exploded from the demon bear.
A layer of dark gold armor covered Yu Sheng's body. He swung his hammer, breaking through the power of the ice. He continued towards the demon bear.
The demon bear seemed to sense that Yu Sheng's aura wasn't strong. It flew into the air and pounced at Yu Sheng violently.
With a loud crash, the demon bear cried out. Its huge body fell from the sky.
"I can have a good meal again." Ye Futian's eyes lit up. Flames gathered on his body. A moment later, the ground was filled with fragrance again.
In the distance, a group of people whizzed over and appeared in the sky above Ye Futian.
There were five people, three men and two women. They were all very young, and the two women looked very similar, but their temperaments were slightly different. They were both very beautiful.
"Sir, this Frost Bear is the prey we've been tracking, and we've already wounded it," a young man said.
Yu Sheng glanced at the man with a cold expression.
"We are all brothers in this world. Let's eat together." Ye Futian smiled nonchalantly.
The five of them looked at each other. They could not figure out Ye Futian and Yu Sheng's powers, so they nodded and landed on the ground.
"Are the two of you also from Qianmeng City?" a young man asked.
"Qianmeng City?" Ye Futian's eyes flashed. It seemed that they were finally close to the city. He had been traveling in the wilderness for the past few days. It was really boring.
"You don't know?" the woman beside him asked.
Ye Futian looked at the girl and said, "Yeah, we just entered the Ancient Barren World and have been in the wilderness. We haven't reached a city yet. Is Qianmeng City a nearby city?"
"From the Hundred Lands?" another woman asked.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. It seemed that someone had arrived before them. But this was normal. The Black Wind Eagle was not very fast, and they had taken many detours. They had hunted beasts along the way, so they were naturally slow.
Seeing Ye Futian nod, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the three youths. They let down their guard and thought to themselves, So he's a native from the Hundred Lands.
The Eastern Barren Territory was at the edge of the Hundred Lands. The entrance to the Ancient Barren World had never been opened. It was said that it had only been opened recently.
"Since you're from the Hundred Lands, you must not know much about the Ancient Barren World," one of the youths said. One of the young men said. He began to squat down and pick up the roasted meat. He no longer had any scruples, and there was a hint of pride in his tone.
"Yes, please take care of me in the future." Ye Futian smiled. "I'm Ye Futian, and this is my brother, Yu Sheng."
His smile was harmless. At 17, he was much more mature than before, but he had not completely shed his immaturity. He still looked like a sunny boy.
"I'm Ruo Yu, and this is my sister, Ruo Qiu," the woman beside her said with a smile. Her smile was gentle and sweet. Her elder sister, Ruo Qiu's temperament was a bit cold and aloof.
"Of course." The youth smiled faintly. He did not introduce himself. The person next to him asked, "Brother Ye, you two are so young, yet you've entered the Ancient Barren World from the Hundred Lands. You must be very talented."
"Our talents are very average. We're only in the Nine-star Glory Plane," Ye Futian said honestly.
"Brother Ye, you must be joking. The strongest among us is already in the fourth level of the Dharma Plane, but we still couldn't stop this demon."
"We had the demon beast's help and the demon bear was injured, so we barely succeeded," Ye Futian replied.
The few of them looked at the Black Wind Eagle and nodded. The group ate and chatted. Soon, Ye Futian understood their situation.
Wang Jue was in the fourth level of the Dharma Plane. He was the highest in the group.
Gu Cheng was in the third level of the Dharma Plane.
Gu Jiang was in the second level of the Dharma Plane. He was Gu Cheng's younger brother.
Ruo Qiu was in the second level of the Dharma Plane. Ruo Yu was in the first level of the Dharma Plane.
The five of them came from the same force. Wang Jue was steady, Gu Cheng and Gu Jiang were a bit arrogant, Ruo Qiu was cold, and Ruo Yu was easy to get along with. She was not a scheming person. He got most of the information from her.
They all came from a city not far from here, Qianmeng City.
The demon bear quickly entered the stomachs of the seven people and one demon. As the group prepared to leave, Ruo Yu asked, "Are you going to Qianmeng City? Do you want to come?"
"Sure." Ye Futian nodded. He still had many things he wanted to know.
"Are there many people from the Hundred Lands in Qianmeng City now?" Ye Futian asked, standing on the Black Wind Eagle as the group rose into the air.
"Quite a few. They've caused some commotion in Qianmeng City," Gu Jiang said coolly. Gu Jiang said indifferently, "Ye Futian, people from the Hundred Lands enter the city in batches. Did you not join any major forces?"
"I'm ashamed. My companions abandoned me because of my low level," Ye Futian said, depressed.
"I see. But to be able to cross such a long distance without becoming food for demons, you're already lucky." Gu Jiang smiled.
"You two are too brave. You dare to come to the Ancient Barren World at the Glory Plane?" Ruo Yu said, laughing as she flew onto the Black Wind Eagle.
"Many people came when the Ancient Barren World opened. Naturally, we wanted to try. We don't fight with others, so there shouldn't be any danger, right?" Ye Futian asked.
"Yeah." Ruo Yu nodded gently. "There are a few ways to obtain fate. Demon beasts, rare herbs, and many relics in the Ancient Barren World can be obtained through observation. However, the most direct way is to steal it. Your cultivation levels are so low and you don't have much fate on you. Naturally, no one will steal it from you."
"You can steal it directly?" Ye Futian asked.
The others smiled at Ye Futian. As expected of a native from the Hundred Lands. He didn't even know how to obtain fate.
"Of course, you can use fate to devour it. Powerful cultivators have fate on them. They can defeat others and order them to release their fate. Then, they can devour and steal it themselves. Some cruel people will kill their opponents and steal their fate." Ruo Yu rolled her eyes. "You don't even know this?"
Ye Futian's eyes sparkled. He seemed to understand how Emperor Luo had obtained the fate of the former emperor of the Nandou Nation. Sneak attack, devour, and steal it.
No wonder Emperor Ye told him not to enter the Ancient Barren World if his plane was too low. Here, those with weak cultivations were meat on the chopping block. Even if they obtained fate, it would go to someone else.
As he continued on his way, a city finally came into view. More and more people were gathering there.
The city wasn't very grand. It wasn't even as grand as the Cangye Imperial City. But it was simple. After all, this was a city in the Ancient Barren World. People came here for fate and cultivation.
"This is the Qianmeng City," Ruo Yu said. "The Qianmeng City is a stronghold the people of the Qianmeng area built in the Ancient Barren World. Entering the Ancient Barren World from the Qianmeng area, you can reach this city directly."
On the way, Ye Futian already knew that the Qianmeng area was similar to the Hundred Lands. There were many clans but they were much stronger. Also, the Qianmeng area had a leader who ruled over the Qianmeng area and also controlled the entrance to the Ancient Barren World.
In the outside world, going from the Hundred Lands to the center of the Eastern Barren Territory would pass through the Qianmeng area.
The group entered the city. There were demons everywhere in the air. There were some rare big demons among them. The Black Wind Eagle seemed rather ordinary.
There were people of all planes in the ancient Qianmeng City. Even if they weren't high-level Dharma Plane cultivators, they would still enter the Ancient Barren World to train.
After a while, the group arrived at an inn in Qianmeng City. Many people were gathered there, drinking and chatting.
"You're back," a youth said to Ruo Qiu and the others.
"Senior Brother Yan," Ruo Qiu called out. Ruo Qiu shouted, and the others followed suit. The young man nodded. His eyes landed on Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, and he asked, "Who are they?"
"They're from the Hundred Lands. We met them on the way and they followed us, so we brought them here," Ruo Qiu replied.
"The Hundred Lands?" The youth raised an eyebrow. "Don't bring just anyone in the future."
"Then I'll have them leave," Ruo Qiu said.
"No need. I'll pass this time." The youth shook his head. "We'll go to the Cang Mountain Relic together tomorrow."
A strange light flashed through Ruo Qiu's eyes. She nodded and the youth left.
