After Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing united the Divine Prefecture, many people started to follow their footprints.
Many people knew that Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing had grown up in the Eastern Barren Territory. Many people wanted to go there.
However, at that time, the two emperors issued a ban. Sages who were not from the Eastern Barren Territory were not allowed to enter.
The two emperors united the Divine Prefecture and were unparalleled. Who dared to violate the ban?
But even now, many people didn't understand why the two emperors issued this ban.
Even so, many strong cultivators still chased after the relics of the two emperors. They naturally knew about Sky Mountain, but no one could reach its peak, especially those in the Noble Plane.
However, last year, they heard that a bell rang on Sky Mountain. Strong cultivators of the Eastern Barren Territory gathered to climb the mountain. They might be able to find the relics left behind by the two emperors.
On the back of the dragon, the two leaders were dressed in silver. They stared at Sky Mountain. One of them said, "I heard that many people tried many years ago but no one succeeded?"
"Yes, no one succeeded. They all gave up and rarely come to the Eastern Barren Territory. According to my speculation, the will of the two emperors merged into Sky Mountain. Only Sages have a chance to resist that power and step onto Sky Mountain. However, there's a ban. Sages can't enter. No one dares to sneak in. No one knows if the will left by Donghuang the Great can see everything that happens on Sky Mountain," a powerful Noble beside the young man replied. Next to the young man, a powerful Noble replied. He knew a little more about what happened back then.
"Did the two emperors leave anything on Sky Mountain?" The young man was curious. Now, everyone was curious about everything about the two emperors. They were true legends.
"Who knows? Since the bell rang, there must be something," someone said.
"You guys came so fast." In the distance, a voice rang out. Suddenly, a fiery red light shone down from the sky, melting the ice and snow in the air. A group of resplendent figures descended from the sky, dazzling everyone's eyes. They were like a sun.
It was a gigantic divine bird of the sun, a three-legged golden crow. Its entire body was burning with flames, and its eyes were filled with arrogance as it swept its gaze downwards. Behind the golden crow, there seemed to be a sun chariot. There were many experts standing on both sides of the chariot, and there were people sitting in the middle. They were just as dazzling as those who had arrived earlier.
"This lineup …" The people at the foot of Sky Mountain were all shocked. Strong cultivators from two forces had arrived one after another. Moreover, their entrance was so dazzling, unlike any other force in the Eastern Barren Territory.
Many people's hearts trembled. Could it be that they were from outside the Eastern Barren Territory? The Eastern Barren Territory hadn't been visited by outsiders for many years.
"I'll try." He didn't look at the person who spoke and walked straight towards Sky Mountain. Beside him, many young people stepped out and followed him. They were all in the Arcana Plane. Those above the Noble Plane were not allowed to enter Sky Mountain. They had known this for many years.
The carriage pulled by the Sun God Bird, the Three-legged Golden Crow, also had a young man stepping forward towards Sky Mountain.
Ying Long and the Three-legged Golden Crow stopped in the void, attracting countless gazes.
What they saw in the next few days made the people at the foot of Sky Mountain restless.
Within a few days, people arrived one after another. Some arrived on an air warship. The warship was extremely majestic. It could fly in the sky and was carried by the wind. It was clearly a powerful ritual implement for flight. The people of the Eastern Barren Territory had never seen or heard of such a thing before. There were also many strong cultivators on this warship. A few beautiful women walked out. Their legs were slender and their skin was white. They were stunning. They also stepped onto Sky Mountain.
There were also strong cultivators who arrived on many terrifying demons. Demonic aura filled the sky and swept across the foot of Sky Mountain. The pressure was shocking.
More and more strong cultivators gathered. Even the cultivators from the Qianqiu Temple couldn't stay calm. The war in the Eastern Barren Territory was on the verge of breaking out. They didn't expect that at this time, outside forces would step into the Eastern Barren Territory because of the bell on Sky Mountain.
According to what they knew, it had been many years since so many strong cultivators had set foot in the Eastern Barren Territory. After all, people wanted to climb higher. Only those who left were willing to return. If it weren't for the relics of the two emperors on Sky Mountain, the resource-poor Eastern Barren Territory wouldn't be attractive to the outside world.
The news from Sky Mountain gradually spread. The western region was shocked. Then, it continued to spread to the entire Eastern Barren Territory.
On Book Mountain, in the Cottage, Ye Futian was the first to know the news other than the people at the foot of Sky Mountain. When strong cultivators from all sides stepped onto Sky Mountain, he knew that the Little Condor was still cultivating there.
"Master, people from outside the Eastern Barren Territory have appeared on Sky Mountain."
In the back of the mountain, Ye Futian said to Mr. Du, who was sitting and drinking at the edge of the cliff.
"I know." The old man gazed into the distance. He didn't expect that the bell on Sky Mountain not only shook the Eastern Barren Territory but also attracted the attention of the outside world. He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
He knew very well that after the two emperors made the ban, the Eastern Barren Territory had less and less contact with the outside world.
Now, the Eastern Barren Territory once again attracted the attention of the outside world. This was a change.
"Come and sit," Mr. Du said. Ye Futian nodded and sat beside Mr. Du. His master didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"Do you know why there were only seven disciples in the Cottage before you came here?" Mr. Du suddenly asked. Ye Futian shook his head. Even though this old man was a little despicable, his ability to teach disciples was unquestionable. Regardless of whether it was his own feelings or the abilities of First Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister, he could tell.
"Because I'm lazy. Humans are the most complicated. Even if you teach your own disciples, they might not agree with everything you teach them. Especially when many things are involved in the future, it's easy for them to abandon everything they've held onto in the past. My energy is limited, so how can I influence too many people? I just hope that my disciples can influence more people in the future," Mr. Du said and drank another mouthful of wine.
As Mr. Du spoke, he drank another mouthful of wine. This was the first time Ye Futian had seen his teacher like this, so he said, "Previously, I heard from Senior Brother that you have your own ideals. You must have established the Cottage to teach disciples because of this. What is your ideal?"
"What dreams can a lazy person like me have?"
Mr. Du shook his head. "Do you know why Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing ordered the creation of martial arts academies?"
"To make martial arts flourish," Ye Futian said. This was recorded in the history books.
"Three hundred years ago, the Divine Prefecture was in chaos. There were countless powerful forces. Each of them occupied a place. Some created clans, some established orthodoxies, and they were all lords of their own regions. However, are these forces good or bad for the world?" Mr. Du asked.
Ye Futian did not reply and listened quietly.
"Clans and clans are not wrong. However, when you have what they want or threaten their interests, some things can't be avoided. For example, why does the Qin Dynasty want to deal with the Cottage?"
Ye Futian naturally understood. The power of the Cottage made the Qin Dynasty feel threatened. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty wanted to get rid of them.
Mr. Du continued, "In the Divine Prefecture, there are some powerful forces that can affect the entire Divine Prefecture. When such forces appear, even if you haven't experienced many things, you should be able to imagine them. For example, there are many strong cultivators on Sky Mountain now. If they know that someone has reached the peak of Sky Mountain and obtained the relics of the two emperors, what will they do?"
Ye Futian looked at his teacher. The old man was still looking forward. Ye Futian did not know if he was referring to something, but he naturally understood what his teacher meant.
When such a behemoth appeared, it would naturally win over the best talents and plunder the best resources. No one could keep them in check, so they would do all kinds of things. This was the same principle as what his master and senior sister had reminded him twice, that a person with a sharp weapon would naturally have the intention to kill. Wasn't that what Emperor Luo had done to him in the past?
"The Divine Prefecture has always been like this. It hasn't changed for thousands of years, even today. However, there will always be some people who, after experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, are not affected by this turbid world. Instead, they dream of changing the world. Thus, the two emperors were born in the Divine Prefecture." The old man's expression was serious and full of respect. "How can a person who does not care about the world become the ruler of the world? The establishment of the academies in the Divine Prefecture is to give everyone in the Divine Prefecture a relatively fair chance.
However, it is extremely difficult to change the world, even for emperors. Not to mention the Divine Prefecture, even the Eastern Barren Territory is extremely difficult to change. "The old man seemed to be mocking himself.
At this time, Ye Futian also put away his playful expression. He was extremely serious and also somewhat respectful.
So, this was the teacher's dream.
Wanting to change the world sounded a little ridiculous, but it was also a little sad.
"Since ancient times, there have been many heroes who have dreamed of changing the world. However, when they reach a certain level, their mentality also changes. If you were the College Chief of the College, would you want other forces in the Eastern Barren Territory to be above the College?" The old man continued, "So, Futian, you will walk out of the Eastern Barren Territory sooner or later. You will see more cruel things and experience the turbidity of the world. I hope that no matter what you experience, you will be able to stay true to yourself. If one day, you can become someone who can influence the world, even if you can't be righteous, don't forget your original intention and become someone you once hated."
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded.
"Okay, go and cultivate," the old man said.
Ye Futian nodded slightly and looked at the old man. He smiled and said, "Teacher, after what you said just now, your image in my mind has risen a lot."
"Get out." The old man glared at him.
"Sigh, my image is ruined again."
