In the remote celestial mountains of Champion University, cosmic energies rose to the skies. There was an ancient path there, and on the path, there were statues. Those statues were emperors and they contained intent.
Ji Wuyou was walking along the path. Each time he made a step, a terrifying will surrounded him and turned into a silhouette containing a terrifying strength attacking him.
Boom! Explosions sounded and Ji Wuyou was thrown back, outside of the path. He looked furious.
I can only make a few steps. Half a year and I can only make a few steps, thought Ji Wuyou, releasing waves of powerful Qi. A Cyan Dragon Totem appeared and roared violently. However,, the statues instantly prevented him from moving.
Behind him, Yu Wen Jing spoke up gently, "Wuyou, ten steps is quite good already. I can only make five. the ancestor says that your older brother could do only twenty when he was a low-level emperor. If you continue, you'll soon be able to make fifteen steps."
"No, I need to be much stronger than my brother, otherwise, everybody will make fun of me!" replied Ji Wuyou, shaking his head. He turned around and looked at Yu Wen Jing tenderly. He caressed her cheeks and smiled, "Your boyfriend must become the strongest cultivator in the world, I must become even stronger than my brother Ji Chang!"
"I have faith in you. I need to continue practicing my Four Seasons skills," Yu Wen Jing smiled. During these six months, Ancestor Zhu Tian had been taking care of them. They were practicing cultivation in perfect conditions with Ancestor Zhu Tian. They had progressed a lot during those six months. Ji Wuyou was only one step away from becoming a medium-level emperor. After becoming a medium-level emperor, he intended to try and get onto the higher ranking list.
Of course, Yu Wen Jing understood that Ancestor Zhu Tian had agreed to become their teacher because they were talented, of course, but mainly because of Ji Chang. Ji Wuyou also understood that. Therefore, Ji Wuyou wanted to become stronger than Ji Chang to prove that people thought highly of him for who he was.
However, in Champion University, every genius was in the same situation, everybody only thought of Ji Chang. Each time someone was becoming extremely strong, they wanted to become as strong as Ji Chang. However, it didn't work, each time, they ended up being weaker than him and they felt oppressed. Even Ji Chang felt the same; he was extremely strong, but he was also under pressure because of Ying Cheng.

During those six months, Tiantai had become much more lively. Yun Qing Yan had been working really hard for Tiantai. She was very enthusiastic, and loved Tiantai. At the same time, Hou Qing Lin had been traveling a lot to become stronger. He always took people with him. People admired him, he was determined and persistent. The process was the same, he went to the Edict Palace, learned about current affairs and went to those places where there were things to do. He took risks to become stronger, and they always shared treasures equally, nobody was privileged in Tiantai.
Tiantai was becoming more and more famous among the low-level emperors. Even some medium-level emperors thought highly of Tiantai. The Star Group was becoming less and less popular. Nobody liked them, as they kept bullying people. If Ji Wuyou hadn't been there, the situation would have been even sadder for Ji Chang's Club.

At that moment, Lin Feng was in a courtyard where Tiantai had their headquarters. Everybody was looking at Hou Qing Lin in a strange way.
"Hou Qing Lin, you're so cruel. In six months, we've only rested two days. Now, we've rested for a day and you want us to travel again. It's dangerous!" protested Yun Qing Yan. Hou Qing Lin was a bit over the top!
"That's how cultivation works. If you stop practicing cultivation for a while, it's a step backward," said Hou Qing Lin. He was firm. The Edict Palace was a perfect place to learn about dangerous places, they always had new things to discover thanks to it.
"You're cruel, but Lin Feng is totally strange. He hasn't come out for six months. He didn't even come with us once," complained Yun Qing Yan. She was speechless. Since the ceremony, Lin Feng hadn't come out even once!
"He understood something then. When he comes out, he'll be extremely strong," Hou Qing Lin said under his breath. Lin Feng was a hardcore cultivator, he never wasted time, he knew what he needed. He didn't hide for six months wasting time, he was practicing cultivation.
"I hope so…" Yun Qing Yan's eyes glinted. She remembered that Ancestor Zhu Tian had refused to help him because he wanted to help Ji Wuyou, so she hoped that Lin Feng wasn't depressed.
At that moment, a strong and scorching hot wind started blowing. Wu suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
"Wu, why do you always do that?" asked Yun Qing Yan unhappily.
"We need to change the plan," Wu stated sharply.
Hou Qing Lin frowned. Even though Wu was unruly, he never talked nonsense. If he said that, he had a reason.
"Why?" asked Hou Qing Lin.
"There is some news in the Edict Palace. In the Vast Celestial Ancient City, the Celestial Evolution Holy Clan's grave appeared," Wu relayed to them. Back then, in the Celestial Evolution Holy Clan, only a palace had appeared, it was as if it had been placed there on purpose. However, nobody knew where the small world of the Celestial Evolution Holy Clan was. Back then, everybody had thought that it would appear someday.
"Celestial Evolution Holy Clan!" Everybody's eyes twinkled. All the Holy Clans of the Vast Celestial Ancient City were interested in the Celestial Evolution Holy Clan, especially since the palace had appeared. Many people had gone there. And now, more things had been discovered.
"What does everybody think?" asked Hou Qing Lin of the others. The Celestial Evolution Holy Clan's grave had appeared, it was an important event. Many strong cultivators were going to go there, including great emperors, so he was hesitant. If too many great emperors appeared there, the situation would get complicated.
"Let's go to the Vast Celestial Ancient City, to the Celestial Evolution Holy Clan," a voice spoke up at that moment. Lin Feng came out, wearing a clean white robe.
Finally, this guy is out!, thought Yun Qing Yan when she saw him. He had been practicing for six months, but many things had happened in Tiantai during that time. For example, the Star Group provoked them less than before because Hou Qing Lin and the others were extremely strong. Otherwise, the situation would have been complicated for Tiantai.
"Lin Feng, you think we should go to the Vast Celestial Ancient City?" Hou Qing Lin asked Lin Feng.
"Indeed. The Celestial Evolution Holy Clan probably planned everything before being destroyed. They left some buildings and now a grave has appeared. It must have something to do with their legacy. It won't be easy there though, even for great emperors," said Lin Feng. Yan Di was the prince of the Celestial Evolution Holy Clan, and back then the Everlasting Celestial Emperor and the Celestial Evolution Holy Clan were close. Now, some vestiges had appeared in the Vast Celestial Ancient City, so they had to go and see.
"I agree too. I want to go to the Vast Celestial Ancient City too!" said Tian Chi.
"Let's go!"…
Everybody eventually agreed to go.
"When are we leaving?" asked Yun Qing Yan.
"Now! Even though we got the news from the Edict Palace, I'm sure many other people already know about it as well! Besides, the three other universities probably know about it, and they'll be leaving for the Vast Celestial Ancient City as well. We have no time to lose!" said Lin Feng.
"Let's go!" said Hou Qing Lin, rising up into the air.
As Lin Feng had expected, some people from Ji Chang's Club's Star Group and the Yue Club were also together in the sky. A strong cultivator said, "Some vestiges of the Celestial Evolution Holy Clan appeared in the Vast Celestial Ancient City. Last time, we missed that opportunity. This time, we must be there before everyone else. We could obtain some great things there! That's why I called the Star Group and the Yue Club. Those who are willing to go, come with me!
"Yu Wen Hou, you take care of the Star Group's people!" said that person to Yu Wen Hou.
Yu Wen Hou's eyes glittered and he said, "What about Ji Wuyou and Yu Wen Jing? They're still in the celestial mountain practicing cultivation with Ancestor Zhu Tian. Should I inform them?"
"Since they're with the Ancestor, no need. He's helping them, they'll progress much faster than us!" said that cultivator. However, at that moment, two silhouette appeared in the distance: Yu Wen Jing and Ji Wuyou!
"An ancient clan's site? How could I miss that?" asked Ji Wuyou. Everybody nodded agreement.
At the same time, the Celestial Evolution Holy Clan, the Ancient University, and the Four Seasons Universities' students also left for the Vast Celestial Ancient City. It was going to be fun there!
