Ye Wuchen raised an eyebrow. Sharpness flashed across his eyes.
Ye Xiao was his cousin but Ye Wuchen didn't have much contact with him. He only cared about cultivation. Power was like a fleeting cloud to him.
Especially now that the Ancient Barren World was open, the Hundred Lands would definitely change. If he still stuck to his old ways of thinking that royalty was above everything else, he would be in danger sooner or later.
The permanent opening of the Ancient Barren World meant that future Nobles could be created.
Ye Xiao was deeply influenced by royalty. It probably had something to do with his identity. After all, he was the most likely heir to the throne.
"Your Highness, thank you for your kindness but I'm used to traveling alone. I won't be traveling with you," Ye Wuchen said. He said "traveling alone" to save some face for Ye Xiao.
But Ye Xiao and the Cangye Kingdom froze. They looked at Ye Wuchen in surprise.
Right now, he was clearly with Ye Futian's group but he said he was used to traveling alone?
Sharpness flashed across Ye Xiao's eyes. Was Ye Wuchen joking with him?
"Alright." Ye Xiao smiled faintly. Since Ye Wuchen had made his choice, he wouldn't say anything else.
"Yueyao, what about you?" Ye Xiao looked at Lin Yueyao. She didn't even mention her surname. It felt more intimate. It was like a hint.
Lin Yueyao's eyes flashed. She felt awkward.
But she still smiled warmly and said softly, "Your Highness, I have something I can't say."
As she spoke, Lin Yueyao's beautiful eyes glanced at Ye Futian. She didn't say anything, but it was undoubtedly a rejection. The look in her eyes was enough to make one's imagination run wild.
Something she couldn't say?
This time, the smile disappeared from Ye Xiao's eyes. Looking at Ye Futian and Lin Yueyao, the Cangye College's people's eyes also sharpened. Many people stared at Ye Futian. Could it be that the number one beauty of the Cangye Kingdom was already here?
Seeing Lin Yueyao look at him, Ye Futian froze. Why did he feel like he'd been tricked?
Something she couldn't say? What did she mean …
"Very well." Ye Xiao's tone was cold. Whether it was an excuse or something else, Ye Wuchen and Lin Yueyao had both rejected him. His confident question was more like a joke.
As the prince of the Cangye Kingdom, he didn't even have the right to speak to a 17-year-old genius? No matter how talented Ye Futian was, he was the future ruler of the Cangye Kingdom.
Ye Xiao walked away. He didn't look at Ye Futian's group anymore and walked towards the Noble Grotto.
Ye Futian did not mind Ye Xiao's attitude too much. Emperor Ye had treated him well and he would remember that. If Ye Xiao was willing to be friends with him, he would naturally be willing to be friends with him. In reality, whether it was Ye Xiao or Ye Danchen, there was not much of a difference to him. They were all sons of Emperor Ye. He had never thought of interfering in the fight for the throne.
But from the very beginning, Ye Xiao had drawn a clear line between them. He saw him as an imaginary enemy and Ye Danchen's man. Perhaps it was because he was born in the royal family that he was too scheming.
"What do you mean?" Ye Futian glared at Lin Yueyao. Why are you looking at me like that?
Lin Yueyao looked at him innocently. "What do you want me to say?"
At that moment, Lin Yueyao's gaze was extremely lethal, Ye Futian thought.
Could he have been conquered by his charm again?
"It's not good to be too outstanding." Ye Futian looked over and sighed. Lin Yueyao stared at him unblinkingly. This narcissistic guy.
"Is there anything special about the Noble Grotto?" Ye Futian asked Yun Qianmo. He didn't mention Ye Xiao. These things were trivial to him.
"The Noble Grotto contains the pressure of intent. It will directly suppress those who approach it. The closer you are, the stronger the pressure. If you release any power to resist the pressure, the grotto will use intent of the same element to fight back." Yun Qianmo looked at the majestic Noble Grotto and said, "As long as you can overcome this powerful intent pressure, you'll have a chance to turn the attacking intent into fate to protect yourself. You'll be able to walk to the long corridor of the Noble Grotto and feel the artistic conception up close. Fate will fill your body."
Hearing Yun Qianmo's words, Ye Futian looked at the corridor. There were two figures sitting cross-legged there, cultivating with their eyes closed. There were only two people in the huge Noble Grotto. They were extremely dazzling. Light flashed around them and their fate rose more than 30 meters.
At this time, Ye Futian saw Ye Xiao walk towards the Noble Grotto. In an instant, the flashing light above the grotto turned into an invisible force that pressed down on Ye Xiao.
In an instant, powerful sword intent exploded from Ye Xiao. It circled around him and he forced himself to walk forward.
At that moment, Ye Futian could clearly feel that the majestic grotto was releasing a mysterious pressure. It was like a divine power that was heading towards Ye Xiao. It also turned into Sword Will.
Ye Futian couldn't help but use Freedom Meditation. He suddenly realized that the pressure in the grotto came from a few of the statues. The statues contained the pressure of swordsmanship, which was the same elemental intent that Yun Qianmo had mentioned.
As the first prince of the Cangye Kingdom, Ye Xiao's talent was naturally outstanding. Not only was he a swordsman, he was also a Spirit Elemental sorcerer. The descendants of the royal family, including Ye Wuchen, all majored in the Spirit Elemental Elemental with the help of the sword. They were extremely powerful.
He continued forward, fighting against the sword intent pressure. Ye Xiao's body kept approaching the grotto. He didn't stop until he was 13 steps away.
"These thirteen steps are known as the Thirteen Steps of Death. The grotto's intent multiplies in power and can truly injure those who step on it. Those geniuses are all blocked within these thirteen steps. Plus, with each step, they might gain something," Yun Qianmo continued.
Ye Futian nodded. He used Freedom Meditation to the extreme. The intent pressure in the grotto seemed to slow down in his eyes as it attacked Ye Xiao.
"Boom." Ye Xiao took a forceful step. The sword aura cut through everything. A terrible storm seemed to blow around him.
Waves of aura swirled like waves. After the first wave receded, it grew stronger and whistled towards Ye Xiao.
"It's not enough to only cultivate martial arts and not Spiritual Energy. That's why pure martial arts cultivators can't step into this grotto," Ye Futian thought. With Ye Xiao's second step, the aura grew even stronger.
Then came the third step. The sword aura filled the sky and Ye Xiao stopped.
Qin Wentian once again rode on his sword. His sword intent enveloped his body, transforming into an extremely powerful defense. He halted for a moment before he took another step forward. But at the same time, the pressure from the stone cave transformed into a terrifying windstorm that gushed towards him, destroying everything in its path. After which, the windstorm blasted into Ye Xiao's body. Sizzling sounds rang out as Ye Xiao was directly flung backwards. He was in an extremely sorry state, and there were even wounds on his body.
"First prince." The people of the Cangye Kingdom walked up. Ye Xiao waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. His expression was ugly. He'd only taken three steps.
"Every step is like a limit. I have to keep breaking my limit to keep moving forward," Ye Futian said quietly.
"Genius, aren't you going to try?" Li Lianyi giggled. Not far away, she looked at Ye Futian.
"The Noble Grotto is different from the Cang Mountain walls," Liu Yuan said indifferently.
Many prides came to the grotto. Many of them had tried but only two people could make it to the Noble Grotto's corridor. They'd spent a lot of time trying.
"The Cang Mountain walls are enlightenment. The Noble Grotto requires enlightenment. It's not enough to rely on comprehension. You also need willpower and great cultivation talent," Mo Fan from the Qianmeng area also said.
Noble Grotto, 13 Steps of Death. The two people sitting on the corridor were two of the most famous top geniuses of the Qianmeng area.
At this moment, two more figures descended from the sky behind him.
"Yun Qianmo," one of them called. Yun Qianmo turned and saw the senior brother who'd humiliated her yesterday, Yang Ziqi.
There was another person beside Yang Ziqi. This person's hair was tied up and gave off a sharp feeling. Seeing him, Yun Qianmo called, "Senior Brother Zhao."
"Zhao Han." Everyone looked up at him. Zhao Han, the son of the Sword Clan's leader, was extremely talented. He'd completed ten of the 13 Steps of Death in the Noble Grotto and was only three steps away. It was clear how powerful he was.
"Senior Brother Zhao, this is the one," Yang Ziqi said to Zhao Han, pointing at Ye Futian.
Zhao Han glanced at Yun Qianmo and said, "Junior Sister Yun, I'm very disappointed in you."
No matter what, Yun Qianmo's actions couldn't avoid damaging the Sword Clan's reputation. After all, she was the leader's disciple.
"Senior Brother, I …" Yun Qianmo wasn't as cold as she was to Yang Ziqi. Zhao Han was the master's son and extremely talented. He was the leader of their generation and all the disciples respected him.
Zhao Han didn't say anything else. His gaze landed on Ye Futian.
"You must be very talented to be able to comprehend the four walls of the Cang Mountain Relic. I heard that the Sword Clan offended you first and that's why you want Yun Qianmo to be your servant," Zhao Han said. "Since Yun Qianmo agreed, I'll give you a chance. Today, before the Noble Grotto, if you can beat me in the steps you take, I'll admit it and let Yun Qianmo cultivate with you. The Sword Clan won't interfere anymore."
"If you can't beat me but still dare to take a Sword Clan disciple as a servant," Zhao Han said arrogantly. "Then die."
His cold voice carried an unquestionable tone. Beside him, Yang Ziqi sneered. Zhao Han was so talented that he'd taken 10 steps out of the Noble Grotto's 13 Steps of Death. Not many prodigies of his generation in the Qianmeng area could do that.
Ye Futian would definitely die today.
