The Barren City was the center of the Ancient Barren World. It was also the grandest ancient city in the Ancient Barren World. It had a long history.
The Barren City gathered all the top geniuses of the Eastern Barren Territory, as well as people from all over the Eastern Barren Territory. No matter how talented the outsiders were, they didn't dare to act recklessly in the city. If they were the slightest bit careless, they might offend a disciple of a top force in the Eastern Barren Territory.
Thus, in this bustling ancient city, the disciples of the top forces were the absolute protagonists. Everyone else could only serve as foils.
In this city, the disciples of the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory would often compete with each other.
At this time, a group of people walked on the stone street in the Barren City.
This group of people was extremely outstanding. The person standing in the middle was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was extremely handsome and had a faint smile on his face. He was extremely attractive to young women.
On his left was a burly man with a dignified appearance. His body was incomparably sturdy and filled with boundless power. On his right was a one-armed young man with a sword on his back. At first glance, he gave off a sharp feeling. He was definitely a powerful sword cultivator.
Behind the three of them, there were two women. Both of them were peerless beauties, their appearances outstanding to the extreme. This was especially so for the woman on the right. Her hair was silver like snow, and she was beautiful yet bewitching. She exuded an extremely cold aura.
Behind them, there was a group of men who looked like bodyguards following them.
People couldn't help but take a few glances at this group of people walking on the street. They wondered which force of the Eastern Barren Territory they were from.
The only thing that didn't fit in was the Black Wind Eagle next to them. Such an outstanding group of people rode on such an ordinary demon beast. It was obvious that they were too ordinary.
This group was, of course, Ye Futian's group.
Loulan Xue had also come. The Empress had ordered her to come with them. Ye Futian felt strange that there weren't any guards with them but he couldn't say no.
"Did you find out?" Ye Futian asked. He was asking Lin Yueyao.
"Yes." Lin Yueyao nodded and glared at Ye Futian. After coming to the Barren City, whenever this guy encountered something, he would ask her to find out information. After Yun Qianmo left, Yanran successfully took over Yun Qianmo's role and became a servant. This was too much.
"Lead the way." Ye Futian didn't seem to see Lin Yueyao's resentful eyes. Then the group climbed onto the Black Wind Eagle's back. It rode the wind and flew above the Barren City.
Above Desolate City, there were many great demons riding on the wind. They all headed in different directions, not disturbing each other.
Lin Yueyao and Loulan Xue's beauty attracted some gazes from time to time, but no one came up to disturb them.
After a while, they arrived at the center of Barren City. The buildings below were even more magnificent, and the number of demonic beasts in the air was also more concentrated. There were more and more experts.
Lin Yueyao held a map in her hand and pointed the way. Gradually, an extremely tall mountain appeared in their field of vision.
This mountain stood in the center of the Ancient Barren World, but it didn't seem out of place at all. Instead, it exuded a holy aura. Many people were rushing in that direction.
As the Black Wind Eagle continued forward, they gradually approached the mountain. On the mountain in front of them, they could see an incomparably huge stone tablet. The tablet was particularly eye-catching. Three huge words were carved on it: Ancient Barren World.
The words carved on the tablet were Ancient Barren World. It was as if this was where the name of the Ancient Barren World came from.
"We're here," Ye Futian murmured to himself.
The Black Wind Eagle flew to the top of the mountain and landed before the huge stone tablet.
There were many people in front of the stone tablet that was hundreds of meters tall. The words "Ancient Barren World" seemed to have a magical power. It made people want to take a few more glances.
Not far from the stone tablet was a staircase leading to the mountain. Many people were walking up the stairs as if they were on a pilgrimage.
"Let's go up," Ye Futian said. Then, he followed many people and walked up the stairs next to the stone tablet. He followed the stairs all the way to the end, where he was level with the top of the stone tablet.
The terrain at the top of the mountain was extremely flat as if it had been artificially flattened. This was a vast area with many people active here.
Ye Futian's group had just set foot here when they felt a wave of fate wash over them.
Looking around, Ye Futian was shocked. It was just as he'd found out. There was everything a cultivator wanted on Mirror Mountain.
On this vast mountain peak, there were many different areas, and there seemed to be ruins in each area.
Someone was playing chess. The chess was extremely profound, as if it contained the Great Path of matrixes.
Someone was drawing. Their carvings could communicate with the sky and earth.
Someone was playing the guqin. Someone was carving.
Everyone in each area was cultivating, communicating with the noble intent and drawing fate.
Thump. At that moment, a loud sound was heard, like the sound of the Great Path. Ye Futian seemed to feel an incomparably terrifying aura. He turned his gaze in a certain direction and saw that there was a row of war drums erected there. Someone was beating the war drums, and the aura was like a rainbow. As the loud sounds continued, more and more war drums reverberated, gathering into an even more terrifying aura. It was extremely terrifying.
There was another sound of thunder. Ye Futian looked in another direction. There was a field of lightning in that area.
Other than that, there were some noble statues on Mirror Mountain. They contained terrifying intent power. Many people were cultivating and comprehending under the statues.
In the vast area, there were people cultivating and comprehending in every area. Many of them were from the major forces of the Eastern Barren Territory.
It was a bustling scene on the mountain peak.
"As expected of the center of the Barren City," Ye Futian murmured. Cultivators of all professions could come here to collect fate.
His gaze slowly turned and looked straight ahead. In the distance, there was a mountain wall. This mountain wall was as smooth as a mirror. This mountain wall was the famous Mirror Mountain Stone Wall of the Barren City. It was extremely mysterious and could even test the talent of a cultivator.
Moreover, the various top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory had left powerful spells on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall. When a strong cultivator came and used noble will to awaken the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall, the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory would be able to see what was happening here.
Ye Futian didn't know if Luo Junlin had come here. But here, he could solve the problem Luo Junlin would bring.
"Not only can the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall let the people of the Eastern Barren Territory see the noble fate, but it also contains mysteries. It can test one's talent. Other than the level of the noble fate, when cultivators sense the power of the Stone Wall, there will be a phenomenon. Illusionary figures of nobles will appear on the Stone Wall. Those with great talent can make multiple figures appear on the Stone Wall. The more figures appear, the more talent they have," Ye Futian explained.
After entering the Barren City, she'd been the one to gather information. She knew the most. She'd complained about Ye Futian for a long time. He'd practically ordered her around like a servant.
But when she said this, she felt a bit of anticipation.
When Luo Junlin had obtained noble fate, he'd been taken in as a disciple of the Royal Xuan Temple.
Now, Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Ye Wuchen were all more talented than Luo Junlin. After the battle in the Loulan palace a few months ago, Ye Wuchen's noble fate was already mid-level.
If the three of them went to the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall to show their talents and were seen by the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory, she didn't dare to imagine what would happen in the Cangye Kingdom. The three of them would undoubtedly be taken in as disciples by the top forces of the Eastern Barren Territory.
Thinking about how all the emperors had come to congratulate Luo Junlin when he'd been taken in as a disciple of the Royal Xuan Temple at the Tingfeng Banquet, she couldn't wait to see what would happen in the Cangye Kingdom. What would Emperor Luo's expression be like then?
Emperor Ye of the Cangye Kingdom had sacrificed a lot for Ye Futian. He'd even gone to war with Emperor Luo. In the future, he'd be proud of his foresight.
Thinking of this, Lin Yueyao's beautiful eyes fell on Ye Futian. Smiling, she egged them on, "Do you want to go show off?"
"Low profile, understand?" Ye Futian said indifferently. Lin Yueyao pouted.
Low profile? When had this guy ever been low profile?
"There's so much noble fate on the Mirror Mountain. Don't waste it." Ye Futian looked around, a bright smile on his face. In his eyes, the scenery at the top of the mountain was a gift of noble fate.
"…" Lin Yueyao's eyes flashed. She was speechless.
She didn't know what level Ye Futian's noble fate was. But since Ye Wuchen had mid-level noble fate, with his talent, he should also have mid-level noble fate.
In the Ancient Loulan Relic, he'd gotten two treasured books. He'd even gotten the most important book in Ancient Loulan. He must've received a lot of fate.
"Alright, go pick your own places to cultivate." Ye Futian smiled, and everyone nodded. Ye Wuchen stepped forward and headed in a certain direction.
Moments later, Ye Wuchen arrived before a sword matrix. There was a terrifying sword matrix before him. It contained endless sword intent. No one dared to step inside.
However, there was a figure sitting quietly in the sword matrix, letting the endless sword intent pass through his body. He guided the swords into his body to cultivate. Shocking sword intent flowed through his body.
"It's said that every disciple of the Fuyun Sword Clan comes here to train in the Ancient Barren World. No one has ever failed. Now, as the pride of the Fuyun Sword Clan, Li Daoqing naturally can't fail. It's said that his talent is as outstanding as his brother, Li Daoyun," someone beside him said.
Ye Wuchen's eyes flashed with sharpness. He looked at the youth in the sword matrix.
