"Yes, In the eyes of those people, we are just a frog. They can do whatever they like to us and we don't even have the power to retaliate. We can only watch them doing whatever they like. Just like how that martial artist destroyed my life worth cultivation and turned me into a cripple from a high and mighty being."
"Azure Dragon Country is only one of the smallest country that comes in the jurisdiction of the Grand Xia Empire. There are many big countries that comes under the Grand Xia Empire. Those Countries are two or even three times bigger than my Azure Dragon Country."
"You, who is reading my last words that I've left here, has one request from me. Don't worry, I don't want to make you take revenge for me. I only want you to cultivate very diligently and one day, go out there, in the Grand Xia Empire and make my Azure Dragon Country's name resound all around the Empire. So that the experts from there don't dare to look down on us."
After reading the words that the only martial artist of Azure Dragon Country that has ever achieved the cultivation at the Peak of the Martial Emperor Realm left behind, Ye Xiao and Zhao Yufei, both let out a long sigh.
Mainly Ye Xiao, Even though he had already merged with the memories of the Ancient Pill God, he was still not aware how vast the Azure Sky Continent was.
From the look of Zhao Yufei, she didn't seem very surprised after reading the letter that the owner of this tomb left behind on his coffin. She seem to already know about many big countries and the Grand Xia Empire.
But for Ye Xiao, it was the first time he ever heard that there was many other countries other than the Azure Dragon Country and also about the Grand Xia Empire.
What surprised him the most is that the Azure Dragon Country is only one of the smallest country among many countries that comes under the Grand Xia Empire. It means that as the tomb owner said, he was a frog looking at the sky from the bottom of the well. Not only he but all the people of the Azure Dragon Country was just like this. They don't know how much bigger this world is. This broadened his horizon.
After reading the letter, both of them bowed toward the coffin of the owner of this tomb and began to walk back toward the big hall.
"So, after going out from here, what are you planning to do?" As they are walking, Zhao Yufei suddenly asked this question.
Ye Xiao raised his head and looked straight, toward the direction of the dark cave from which they came here and said, "I'm going to participate in the competition that the five great sects and the imperial family together held. I'm planning to enter any one of the five great sect."
"Hmm, There is not much time left from when the competition will officially start. Do you know why the five great sect and the imperial family held this competition?" Zhao Yufei nodded her head and after pondering about something she once again ask the other question.
"No, I don't know. Is there something special about it?" Hearing Zhao Yufei, Ye Xiao looked at her with a questioning gaze.
"What do you think?" Zhao Yufei gave him a mischievous smile.
Seeing her behave like this, even Ye Xiao now began to feel that this competition is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Ye Xiao began to feel troubled about it and could not remain silent but ask her, "Aren't they are planning to recruit the best disciples from this competition?"
"Yes, they are planning to recruit the best disciple they can find from this competition. Best disciple." Zhao Yufei smiled at him and as she answered his question she also focused on the two words and said it twice.
Best disciple?
Not understanding what is going on, Ye Xiao again looked at her. Just as he was about to ask again, they heard the sound of someone's footsteps.
"Be careful. Someone is coming here" Zhao Yufei said him in low voice.
They are already in the dark cave right now. So they both stopped walking forward and hide at a corner. As the time passes, the sound of footsteps was also becoming louder and louder.
After a short period of time passed, three figure appeared in the dark cave. One was walking in front and two was walking from behind the first one.
These three were young men and all of them were in their late twenties. The young man who was walking in front had a ball of fire in his hand which helped them to see in this darkness.
From the looks of it, he had cultivated a fire type martial arts and the ball of fire in his hand was condensed from that fire type martial arts.
It was good that Ye Xiao and Zhao Yufei, both were hiding in a corner that was some distance away from the path where the three young man were walking.
"It is Senior Brother Chu Feng" Zhao Yufei said in a very low voice.
"Oh!"
"Yes."
"Since he is your senior brother than he must be someone from the Heaven Sword Sect. Right?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Yes, we are from the same sect and so are the other two men who is walking behind Senior Brother Chu." Zhao Yufei nodded her head and said.
"Is he powerful? What is his cultivation realm?"
"First Stage of Martial King Realm."
"What? First Stage of Martial King Realm. He looks so young, maybe twenty six or twenty seven years old and he is already a martial artist that has reached the Martial King Realm." Ye Xiao asked astonishingly.
He never thought that the young man in front of him is an expert of the Martial King Realm. Even though he is only in the First Stage of Martial King Realm but the thing is that the man in front of him is only in his late twenties.
