The Legend of Futian

Yun Qianmo saw everyone looking at her and her expression grew colder. When she turned to look at Ye Futian, the coldness disappeared and became calm. Since she made her decision, she knew others would talk. She had considered all of this beforehand. If she cared, she wouldn’t have agreed.

“Has he pursued you before?” Ye Fuian asked, chuckling. Yang Ziqi’s reaction had been too dramatic.

Yun Qianmo looked at him and nodded lightly.

“He’ll be even more too low for you in the future,” Ye Futian said. “Tomorrow, let’s go to the place you mentioned.”

“Okay.” Yun Qianmo nodded and they returned to the pavilion.

Yu Sheng walked up to Ye Futian and said, “While cultivating these days, I realized that not only does fate increase your abilities, it also helps with cultivation.”

“If you perceive the same elemental fate, it’ll definitely help,” Ye Futian said with a nod. Fate was the power of intent and the strength those of the Noble Plane had. It would obviously aid cultivation. For example, the sword wall would help those of the Sword Clan in future cultivation.

“We’re almost in the Dharma Plane. I have an idea.” Yu Sheng looked at Ye Futian.

“Add the strength of the intent when agglomerating the Dharma?” Ye Futian asked.

“Yes.” Yu Sheng nodded. “I don’t know if it’ll work.”

“We can try.” Ye Futian had had the same idea when cultivating earlier.

The group returned to the pavilion and continued to cultivate. The second day, Ye Futian had Yun Qianmo gather everyone and they departed on the Black Wind Eagle. In the air, the eagle rode the wind and was unbelievably fast. It flew more smoothly than before as if it had melded into the wind. This made it more comfortable as well and it was excited about the future. Before, Ye Futian had controlled it forcefully. With the Snow Ape there, it couldn’t fight back. Now that Ye Futian developed, it finally saw a way to evolve. The other demon beasts probably wouldn’t have this chance. It could only pray that Ye Futian wouldn’t look down on it and change to another demon. Yun Qianmo pointed out the direction. This time, they were going into the Qianmeng City rather than out.

“Where are we going?” Ye Futian asked. He’d only told Yun Qianmo he wanted to go to the place with the strongest fate but she didn’t tell him the specific location.

“The Noble Grotto,” Yun Qianmo said. “It’s inside the city and like you said, it’s the place in the Qianmeng City with the strongest fate. It’s much stronger than the Cang Mountain Relic.”

Ye Futian’s eyes brightened. “Why did Yan Lu go to the Cang Mountain rather than here?”

“The fate is strong but it’s not easy to attain. The Noble Grotto gathers the true creams of the crop. With Yan Lu’s talent cultivation, he wouldn’t receive anything even if he went,” Yun Qianmo said. “I went before but didn’t accomplish anything.”

Ye Futian nodded. He was excited to see what the Noble Grotto was like. As the Black Wind Eagle flew, Ye Futian saw many people also riding demon beasts toward the same direction.

“We’re almost there. Most go just for fun,” Yun Qianmo said, eyeing all the people in the sky.

Ye Futian chuckled. After a while, the crowd became denser. Some in the front went down. An extremely large grotto appeared in his vision. It took up a large expanse of land. The air around it glowed faintly like fate. It filled the sky, making the grotto seem mysterious. As they neared it, the Black Wind Eagle started going downward and landed on the ground.

At that moment, Ye Futian looked up at the large grotto. He actually felt a faint pressure. It was the noble intent pushing down.

There were various carved head sculptures on top of the grotto. The strong noble intent seemed to come from them. The closer he got to the grotto, the stronger the pressure was. If he was walking on the corridor above the grotto, it would probably be too strong to bear.

“It’s indeed much more powerful than the Cang Mountain Relic,” Ye Futian said. He could feel just by standing here that the fate contained in the Noble Grotto was incomparable to the four walls of the Cang Mountain Relic. There were more people here too and they all had unique auras. Many seemed to be perceiving the intent hidden inside the grotto from the top as well.

In the near distance, a figure walked towards them. Coldness flashed past his eyes and he laughed. “Oh, it’s Yun Qianmo.” It was Liu Yuan, the one wounded by Yun Qianmo at the Cang Mountain Relic. His voice attracted many people’s attention. Mostly everyone here was from the strong forces of the Qianmeng area. They were familiar with Yun Qianmo from the Sword Clan.

Many people looked over in interest. Liu Yuan continued with a smile, “How does it feel being a servant?”

Coldness flashed past Yun Qianmo’s eyes. Her sword intent grew more obvious. Liu Yuan wasn’t intimidated. This wasn’t the Cang Mountain Relic. Without Ye Futian and the intent of the sword wall, he didn’t think he would be defeated like before. The battle from days ago was honestly humiliating.

“Yun Qianmo.” Another voice rang out at that moment. A youth with an impressive presence stood in the distance and smiled at her. “Yun Qianmo, you are the pride of the Sword Clan. Don’t you feel undignified to be someone’s servant?” This was Mo Fan, another powerful clansman of the Qianmeng area.

“I’m more curious about who took you in as a maid. I heard it’s someone in the Glory Plane,” someone else mocked and looked at their group.

“Who are they?” someone asked.

Ye Futian was annoyed. Was Yun Qianmo really that well-known? News of what happened at the Cang Mountain Relic had spread.

“Do you have any problems?” Ye Futian asked. Countless eyes fell on him instantly, sizing him up. Some were curious; others were mocking.

“I heard that you’re in the Glory Plane but drove the intent of the four walls in the Cang Mountain Relic?” someone asked.

“I was lucky,” Ye Futian said with a smile.

“This modesty is different from the rumors. I heard that you were really arrogant there,” a girl said, smiling at him. The rumors had said that Ye Futian was arrogant and domineering at the Cang Mountain Relic and made someone like Yun Qianmo become his servant.

“Do I look arrogant?” Ye Futian smiled at the girl. He was handsome and his eyes were clear. He was easy on the eye and the girl chuckled, shaking her head.

“No.” She glanced at Yun Qianmo and asked, “Yun Qianmo, I’m curious as to why you made that choice.”

“It has nothing to do with you,” she replied coldly. The girl was the pride of another clan. Her name was Li Lianyi.

“I’m just curious,” Li Lianyi said with a smile.

“Let’s go,” Yun Qianmo said to Ye Futian. The youth nodded and their group continued forward. Many people looked at them in amusement. Shortly after, many people followed them. Ye Futian could comprehend the walls of the Cang Mountain Relic so what about here? They wanted to see if he was truly talented or if luck also came into play.

After a few steps, Ye Futian stopped again. There were familiar people up ahead.

Chu Kuangren, prince of the Yunchu Nation, stared coldly at Ye Futian and Ye Wuchen’s group. It was unexpected to meet them here.

Chu Kuangren looked in another direction. Ye Futian followed his eyes and saw more people looking at him. Zuo Qianfan and Yu Jiang of the Cangye College, as well as some other students, were present. If they were here, Ye Xiao, eldest prince of the Cangye Kingdom, would also be there.

Ye Xiao stood with his hands behind his back. He looked forward into the grotto, appearing to be focused. A moment later, he turned around slowly and looked toward Ye Futian.

He also saw Ye Wuchen and Lin Yueyao and found it odd. Was Ye Wuchen and Lin Yueyao really following Ye Futian?

“Your Highness.” Seeing Ye Xiao look over, Ye Futian nodded with a smile. No matter what his attitude was, Ye Futian had to follow the rules. After all, he was the prince of the Cangye Kingdom.

Ye Xiao looked at him coolly. He was surprised Ye Futian could arrive at Qianmeng City so quickly and still be alive. He hadn’t heard about the Cang Mountain Relic event. Even though many people knew about it, they focused more on Yun Qianmo. Ye Futian’s name was rarely mentioned. Ye Xiao didn’t know Yun Qianmo so he didn’t pay attention.

“Wuchen, Lin Yueyao, how have you been?” Ye Xiao didn’t look at Ye Futian again. He asked about the others instead.

“I’m fine,” Ye Wuchen answered coolly.

“Me too.” Lin Yueyao nodded and smiled. She felt that the atmosphere was off. She obviously knew about what Ye Xiao had done after entering the Ancient Barren World. One was the prince while the other was highly valued by Emperor Ye and this prince didn’t like Ye Futian.

“Follow me from now on,” Ye Xiao said to them. Ye Wuchen was his cousin and extremely talented. He deserved to be roped in. If he got too close to Ye Futian, he would probably turn into someone like Ye Danchen.

As for Lin Yueyao, she was the daughter of the Lin family. With her beautiful face, she deserved to be asked personally by Ye Xiao. He had considered having her become the future queen with her talent and beauty.

Ye Futian was a bit shocked when he heard Ye Xiao’s words. Was he head-hunting right in front of Ye Futian? There was no dignity left for him at all.

As for Zuo Qianfan and Yu Jiang behind Ye Xiao, they laughed. Since the prince asked personally, Ye Wuchen and Lin Yueyao should know to make the right decision. Ye Xiao would most likely become the future crown prince of the Cangye Kingdom. If he received the noble fate in the Ancient Barren World, there would be no competition!
