The entire Eastern Barren Territory focused on the people from the Donghua Clan. However, they didn't go to the College. Instead, they went to the Qin Imperial City.
Then, news spread from the Qin Imperial City. The genius disciple of the Donghua Clan, Qian Shanmu, proposed to the Qin Imperial City to marry Qin Mengruo, the princess of the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin Dynasty agreed to the Donghua Clan's proposal.
When the news spread, the Eastern Barren Territory was shocked. Even the top forces didn't expect it to happen so soon, even though they'd sensed this day at the Qin Imperial Palace.
That day, the Qin Imperial Cottage hadn't even settled the matter of the Donghua Clan's Noble being crippled.
Two of the three strongest forces in the Eastern Barren Territory officially announced a marriage alliance.
The people of the Eastern Barren Territory naturally knew what this meant. An even more terrifying force would be born.
The Qin Dynasty, the Donghua Clan, and the College stood in the center of the Eastern Barren Territory. Now, the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan had teamed up and targeted the College.
Moreover, this wasn't the end.
Then, another piece of important news spread.
Qian Shanmu and Qin Mengruo's wedding would be on the first day of the next year.
At the same time, to celebrate this marriage, the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan would build a holy land for cultivation together. They would build a college in Chaoge City, the center of the Eastern Barren Territory.
This college would be jointly taught by the strong cultivators of the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan. The students of the college could choose to join the Qin Dynasty or the Donghua Clan or neither.
Once the news spread, the world was shocked. Everyone could faintly feel a storm sweeping through the Eastern Barren Territory.
There were many colleges in the Eastern Barren Territory, but when the word "college" was mentioned, people would only think of one. It was the Eastern Barren College in the Divine Capital, a holy land for cultivation.
Now, the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan wanted to build another college. Did it need to be said more?
All the top forces came to a sudden realization. They vaguely understood what had happened in the Qin Imperial City.
The Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan had purposely suppressed the College and wanted to destroy the Cottage's legend. So, they were paving the way for this.
Unfortunately, they didn't succeed. Otherwise, the Cottage would be humiliated. Then, this announcement would undoubtedly create more momentum. One could imagine how great the commotion would be.
But even though he had failed, the news still shook the Eastern Barren Territory.
The Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan announced that the college would be built within three months. Then, they would start recruiting students. The opening ceremony would be held on the first day of the next year, the same day as Qian Shanmu and Qin Mengruo's wedding. The wedding would also be held in Chaoge City.
This was not the end. The Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan continued to announce that all the top forces in the Eastern Barren Territory could participate. They invited all forces to build this college together and make it the supreme holy land for cultivation. The disciples of all the top forces could also enter the college to cultivate and fight together.
Even the various peak powers were greatly affected by this news, and they began considering whether or not they should participate in it.
If the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan succeeded, they might really threaten the Eastern Barren College's position and even replace it.
The Eastern Barren Territory was in an uproar.
For countless years, the Eastern Barren Territory's first choice for geniuses was the College. Moreover, there was also a place like the Cottage.
Last year, several top geniuses appeared in the Ancient Barren World.
Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and Xiao Wuji.
Ye Futian and Yu Sheng entered the Cottage, and Xiao Wuji entered the College. The Cottage also belonged to the College.
The three of them had all become disciples of the College. Clearly, the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan had been unhappy about this for a long time. If things continued like this, the College would one day have the ambition to conquer the world and gather all the disciples from the College. That would be a terrifying thing.
The reason why the College didn't cause too much fear was that it wasn't like a clan.
However, the existence of the Sword Saint and Sword Saint Mountain was a warning for all the forces.
How could the Sword Saint stand aside when the Cottage was in trouble?
If a few more Sword Saints appeared, the College could unify the Eastern Barren Territory with a wave of its arm.
Many disciples from the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan walked out and headed to various places in the Eastern Barren Territory. They seemed to be preparing to go to the top forces.
Not long ago, there was a similar scene at the Qin Dynasty crown prince's ceremony. What was happening this time? Everyone had a faint premonition.
…
Just as the world was shocked, the Cottage seemed to be in another world. It didn't care about worldly affairs.
In a small house and a bamboo forest, a group of people sat on the ground. A clean long cloth was spread on the ground. A delicious aroma wafted from it, making people drool.
Cultivators didn't need to eat every day. Eating was just an unimportant thing. But in the Cottage, eating was a big thing.
Eating was also cultivation.
"I'm so hungry," Yi Xiaoshi mumbled. "Second sister, can we eat now?"
"Xiaoshi, you're so fat. Don't eat too much," the second sister told Yi Xiaoshi. Yi Xiaoshi nodded. It seemed that the second sister still cared about him and was afraid that he would grow too fat.
"Little brother, eat more." The second sister moved her chopsticks first and picked up some meat for Ye Futian.
Yi Xiaoshi blinked. It seemed that he was thinking too much …
"Thank you, sister. You should eat more too," he said to the second sister with clear eyes.
"I'm already fat. I can't eat too much." The second sister smiled faintly.
"Of course not. You have a perfect body. If you go down the mountain, many girls will envy you," Ye Futian said. Ye Futian said, "I heard that the top three beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory are Qin Mengruo, Chu Yaoyao, and Hua Qingqing. I saw two of them this time, but they can't compare to you. If you leave the mountain, they won't have anything to do with you."
Hearing this, Xue Ye, Luo Fan, and Yi Xiaoshi were dumbfounded. They rolled their eyes and then lowered their heads to eat. Talent was something you were born with. They could only worship it.
Zhuge Hui's smile became even brighter. At this moment, Third Brother Gu Dongliu picked some food for Second Sister and said, "You like it. Stop talking."
Zhuge Hui glanced at Gu Dongliu. She still smiled but ignored him. The other brothers were used to it.
"Sister Xing 'er, eat more too." Ye Futian picked some food for Beitang Xing' er.
Beitang Xing 'er smiled sweetly. "Thank you, little brother."
"Ah …" Xue Ye and the others had a feeling that their status in the Cottage would get lower and lower. They would be killed instantly by the little brother.
"Second Sister, Third Brother, have you heard about what happened at the foot of the mountain?" Yi Xiaoshi asked.
"What is it?" Gu Dongliu asked.
"The Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan will form a marriage alliance and establish a college in Chaoge City," Yi Xiaoshi said.
"Got it." Gu Dongliu nodded lightly and did not say anything else. Yi Xiaoshi was speechless. In the eyes of the Third Brother, only Second Sister's matters were important.
It was said that this had already caused a huge commotion in the outside world. Even the other mountains of the College were in an uproar. Only the Cottage seemed to be isolated from the world.
"That day, Qin Yu said something to me. He probably wanted to ally with the College or the Cottage but was rejected. At that time, they were probably already planning this," Luo Fan said.
"You're ambitious, but your vision is too narrow."
Gu Dongliu said calmly.
"Yes, after all, not everyone has the same ideals as Master." Luo Fan smiled. Ye Futian looked at Luo Fan. Luo Fan had mentioned Master's ideals several times.
What kind of dream did the teacher have?
The Third Brother said that Ye Futian's vision was too narrow. Then, what about Master's vision?
Just as they were chatting, a group of people arrived at the foot of the Book Mountain. They looked up at the stairs leading to the Book Mountain. There was a college and a Cottage on the mountain.
One of them walked up to the stairs and shouted, "The Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan are here to visit the College."
The voice went up the stairs and landed on the Book Mountain, landing in the College.
Instantly, the disciples of the College were shocked.
People from the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan had arrived at the College.
Recently, the marriage alliance between the two forces had caused a huge commotion in the Eastern Barren Territory. Now, they had come to the College personally.
There was no response from the Book Mountain. The few people stood quietly at the foot of the stairs and waited.
At the end of the stairs, they could faintly see many disciples of the College looking down.
Then, a voice said, "Please."
"I'm here for two things today. I'll leave after that and won't disturb you," the strong cultivator continued. His voice reverberated in the air and echoed all the way to the Book Mountain.
"First, the little princess of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Mengruo, will hold a wedding in Chaoge City on the first day of year 1002 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar. At the same time, the Dongqin College will hold its grand opening ceremony on this day. At that time, we will invite all the top forces in the Eastern Barren Territory to attend.
I'm here to invite the Eastern Barren College, "the strong cultivator said loudly. They named the college Dongqin College. It seemed to be named after the Donghua Clan and the Qin Dynasty, but it also seemed to be deliberately targeting the name of the Eastern Barren College.
"Okay, the Eastern Barren College will go," a voice replied from the sky.
"Second, Lu Nantian of the Donghua Clan will challenge Gu Dongliu of the Cottage in Chaoge City on the same day," the person said again. This time, countless people at the foot of the Book Mountain were shocked. This news was even more shocking than Qian Shanmu and Qin Mengruo's wedding.
Lu Nantian of the Donghua Clan challenged Gu Dongliu of the Cottage.
The two geniuses of the Eastern Barren Territory, the two geniuses worshipped by countless people, were already top figures in the Eastern Barren Territory. They stood at the highest point of the territory and were admired by countless people.
And they were about to welcome a battle.
Just this news was enough to shake the Eastern Barren Territory.
"Gu Dongliu of the Cottage, will you accept the challenge?" The sound waves rolled across the sky and swept towards the top of the Book Mountain.
Even the disciples of the College were shocked. Countless gazes looked towards the direction of the Cottage.
The mountain where the Cottage was located seemed very quiet. However, at this moment, a voice passed through the quiet space and traveled downwards.
"Okay."
