“Your Highness, this woman is disrespectful to the royal family and should be killed,” the Four Extremes cultivator said, turning around and bowing.

At that moment, the carriage door opened, and a handsome young man dressed in a white, luxurious brocade robe with cloud patterns slowly stepped out.

This young man appeared to be only in his early twenties, and his cultivation level was at the Four Extremes Secret Realm. As for his age, he certainly couldn't be older than Ye Liuyun.

This guy clearly had the air of a spoiled brat, his head held high. He stood on the edge of the carriage, looking down at Ye Liuyun with a very blatant scrutinizing gaze.

"What is your name?" the Second Prince asked with interest.

Ye Liuyun had been watching the other person with his arms crossed, and when the other person asked for his name, he didn't hesitate.

"Ye Liuyun, may I ask what brings Your Highness here?"

When the Second Prince heard that Ye Liuyun's surname was Ye, he naturally regarded Ye Liuyun as a member of the Ye clan. The Ye clan revered the royal family. Although there were also royal family members and nobles, even royal family members did not have any special privileges when they met the royal family.

"You are a member of our Ye clan. Which branch of the Ye clan are you from? Why are you so ignorant of the rules?" the Second Prince asked.

Ye Liuyun gleaned some information from the man's words.

"I'm sorry, I have no family and I'm all alone, so I really don't know these rules," Ye Liu said with a smile again.

Ye Liuyun's demeanor was extremely calm, as if he didn't take the Second Prince seriously at all. The Second Prince was also a little puzzled. He didn't understand where the person in front of him got his confidence. He didn't think the other party's cultivation aura was strong.

"Hehe, interesting. Since you don't know the rules, then I'll teach you. Let's go." After saying this, the Second Prince returned to the carriage, and the caravan continued on its way, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

However, there was something wrong with the second prince's last sentence. He said he wanted to teach Ye Liuyun manners. To put it bluntly, it sounded like he wanted to teach Ye Liuyun a lesson. But they just left. How could they teach him a lesson?

But to Ye Liuyun's surprise, no sooner had the Second Prince's convoy left than four female cultivators dressed in white robes descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

"You, come with us," the four female cultivators commanded Ye Liuyun.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun finally understood the meaning behind the Second Prince's last words; it turned out there were other cultivators secretly following them.

Without waiting for Ye Liuyun's consent, the four women reached out to grab him. Ye Liuyun did not immediately resist, but stood quietly in place. The four female cultivators, upon encountering Ye Liuyun, were unable to move him at all.

Ye Liuyun seemed to have become one with the ground.

"You?" Upon seeing this, the four immediately became wary.

They are Dao Palace cultivators, yet they couldn't even shake a mere Sea of ​​Wheels cultivator; there must be something wrong with them.

As for Ye Liuyun, she had a playful look on her face, with an attitude that said, "I'm standing right here, what can you do to me?"

"You've got some skills, huh? But let me warn you, resisting won't do you any good. You'd better come with us obediently, or we won't just be after you," one of them warned.

"Hehe, I'm right here, I'm not running away. If you can catch me, do as you please," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the four people immediately became enraged and unleashed their magic to attack Ye Liuyun. However, their magic dissipated as soon as it touched Ye Liuyun.

"This? Let's attack together," the leading female cultivator commanded.

So the four Dao Palace cultivators launched an attack on Ye Liuyun together.

However, the result was not good; the four people's attacks dissipated once again upon landing on Ye Liuyun.

Alright, the four of them now understood that the person in front of them was far more powerful than they had imagined.

"you."

"What do you mean, 'what are you talking about'? You're wasting my time. Since you're not taking me away, I'm leaving. I don't have time to waste with you." After saying this, Ye Liuyun ignored the four of them and walked away.

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun leave, the four immediately called for backup.

"This is troublesome. Your Highness has underestimated this woman," a female cultivator said anxiously.

"This woman is too well hidden. His Highness has business to attend to outside the city and has no time to deal with her."

Then look at Ye Liuyun. As she walked and looked around, she soon saw a shop selling ancient books. She felt that she might be able to find what she wanted to know there, so she went inside.

"Miss, would you like to buy a book? I have all kinds of books here, feel free to browse." The shop owner immediately stepped forward and said as soon as the Ye clansmen entered.

"Hmm, I'll just take a look. Do you have any books about the history of Yun Kingdom, or the history of neighboring countries? The older the better," Ye Liuyun asked.

"Oh, history books? Yes, we have historical records from 10,000 years ago. Anything older than that is unverifiable history, which we usually call legends," the shop owner replied.

He led Ye Liuyun to the bookshelf that specifically stored this type of ancient book, and Ye Liuyun casually tossed the shop owner a bottle of cultivation pills.

"I don't have any money on me, only the pills and treasures used by cultivators. You can exchange these pills for money yourself, no need to look anymore," Ye Liuyun said generously.

The shop owner was taken aback, then quickly opened the medicine bottle and took a look. His eyes widened at what he saw. As a cultivator at the Sea of ​​Wheels level, he could naturally tell that the pill was very precious.

"This, this is too valuable!" the shop owner exclaimed.

"It's alright, I have plenty, they're worthless. I'm not buying your book, I'll just browse around and leave as soon as I'm done." Ye Liuyun waved his hand.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's generosity, the shop owner didn't say anything more.

"Okay, miss, take your time looking around, no rush." ​​The shop owner was overjoyed.

As for Ye Liuyun, he glanced at these ancient books and then took out a book about the legends of the Flying Immortal Continent.

The first page contains the origins of the Flying Immortal Continent. Most of this content may be fictional, but Ye Liuyun knows that many myths and legends are actually true events that happened in the past, but they are too ancient to be verified.

Chapter 847 The Peculiar Cloud Kingdom (5000 words)

The first page of this Flying Immortal Continent is filled with the legend of its creation.

The legend goes that about a million years ago, there was a gigantic star in the universe, which the people of the Flying Immortal Continent called the Ancestral Star.

Originally, this star was very prosperous and flourishing, with all kinds of races living together. But one day, a peerless villain was born on this star. This villain was full of ambition and wanted to lead his entire sect to ascend to the immortal realm.

To satisfy her ambition, she used her supreme divine power to pierce the passage from the lower realm to the immortal realm. The immortal realm was enraged and sent down heavenly punishment to kill this peerless villain. The peerless villain fought against the power sent down by the immortal realm.

Ultimately, the peerless villain was no match for the power descended from the upper realm. He was killed by the power of the upper realm, which also caused the ancestral star to be pierced by the power of the upper realm. In an instant, the ancestral star was shattered into pieces. Other powerful beings, in order to protect their homeland, used their great supernatural powers to peel away the living land. This is how the Flying Immortal Continent came to be.

In other words, the residents here are not outsiders, but local residents.

"Is this legend really that exaggerated? Who's so powerful that they dared to break through the Immortal Realm, ascend to immortality with their entire sect, and even fight against the Immortal Realm? Isn't that like an ant trying to shake a tree, courting its own destruction? There must be some exaggeration involved; it can't possibly be true." Ye Liuyun felt that most of the content on the first page was fabricated by humans in later generations.

In her mind, even a cultivator from the Heavenly Abyss was no match for a cultivator from the Immortal Path. An immortal could kill a cultivator from the Heavenly Abyss with a single breath. What could a cultivator from the lower realm possibly do to fight against the Immortal Realm? From this perspective, it simply doesn't hold water.

However, there are some reasonable elements in it, such as the fact that the Flying Immortal Continent is a continental segment on that complete star, and it does not allow for particularly powerful cultivators; Nirvana-level cultivators have such abilities.

As for the claim of being promoted to a higher position through the teachings, that's utter nonsense, because it's unprecedented.

"Wait a minute, more than a million years ago in ancient times, that's strange. Hey! Old man, before I was sealed into the Reincarnation Channel by the Reincarnation Emperor, the time we were in seemed to be more than a million years ago in ancient times, right?" Ye Liuyun asked the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror.

"Yes, it's probably around 110 million years ago. In other words, if what's said here is correct, then the era in which this Flying Immortal Continent is located is not long after you were sealed away," the spirit of the Time-Space Mirror explained.

Ye Liuyun thought the Time-Space Mirror made sense.

"Well, hopefully not too long has passed." Ye Liuyun nodded.

Then Ye Liuyun continued reading the book. The second page described the beginning of civilization on the Flying Immortal Continent. The general idea was that after the native inhabitants of the Flying Immortal Continent left their ancestral star, they drifted aimlessly through the universe.

Some of the most powerful beings on the continent used their great supernatural abilities to repair the continent, turning it into a complete world. Through their efforts, the beings on the Flying Immortal Continent were able to live peaceful lives again.

These powerful beings did not stay on the Flying Immortal Continent for long. After repairing the continent, some of them left this world and disappeared without a trace. The humans of today are basically the descendants of these powerful beings.

Ye Liuyun felt there was no problem with the contents of the second page, because if Nirvana-level cultivators could create small worlds, then Divine Path cultivators could create a very large world. Making such a piece of land like a normal world would be no problem and could be done very easily.

"This page contains a lot of real information, not much fabrication," Ye Liuyun muttered, then began reading the third page.

The content on the third page isn't particularly valuable; it mainly discusses how these powerful figures left behind their lineages on the Flying Immortal Continent before they departed. The fourth page then jumps directly to the early days of the Yun Kingdom.

Because Yun Kingdom was the first kingdom to be formed on the Flying Immortal Continent. Before Yun Kingdom, there was no concept of national borders in Flying Immortal Continent, only sects. According to books, sects stood side by side and fought each other for tens of thousands of years. Finally, a group of like-minded strongmen stepped forward to quell the conflict and built a unified kingdom without borders. This is the origin of Yun Kingdom.

The construction of the Cloud Kingdom was mainly led by nine prominent figures: Ye Chengfeng, the founder of the Ye family; Lin Xiyu, the founder of the Lin family; Jin Youcai, the founder of the Jin family; Liu Xiahui, the founder of the Liu family; Lan Yishui, the founder of the Lan family; Feng Si, the founder of the Feng family; Yue Yang, the founder of the Yue family; Lei Tianyuan, the founder of the Lei family; and Xue Hanxiao, the founder of the Xue family.

These nine people are the nine people with the highest status in the Yun Kingdom. They are also the ancestors of the royal families of the eight great powers in the Flying Immortal Continent.

"What exactly did the Ye family of the Yun Kingdom royal family do? It turns out that several major countries around here were seceded from the Yun Kingdom. Judging from this, the history of the Flying Immortal Continent is not particularly long, it seems to be less than 100,000 years old." Ye Liuyun analyzed in his heart.

Compared to the millions of years of history of the Burial God Star, the Flying Immortal Continent is indeed very young, with less than 100,000 years of history.

There aren't many records about the legends of the Flying Immortal Continent, just these. Next, we should look at the history. Ye Liuyun casually put down the book, then searched the bookshelf and quickly found the Chronicles of the Cloud Kingdom.

Since the Yun Kingdom is the oldest, we should definitely start by looking at its history.

After acquiring the Yun Guo Zhi, Ye Liuyun began to peruse it.

The first page tells the story of the origin of the Cloud Kingdom. The origin of the Cloud Kingdom was already mentioned in the previous book, Legend of the Flying Immortal Continent, but this Chronicle of the Cloud Kingdom explains it in more detail.

Roughly speaking, Ye Chengfeng, the ancestor of the Ye family, was the strongest and most prestigious among the nine people. Therefore, he was supported by the other eight as the first emperor of the Yun Kingdom. Among the other eight, Lin Xiyu, the ancestor of the Lin family, had an unusual relationship with the ancestor of the Ye family, and Ye Xiyu became the first queen of the Yun Kingdom.

As for the other seven, they were all granted the title of king and each had their own territory, and they began to develop their own paths.

"Oh ho ho, what a coincidence! The combination of Lin and Ye is invincible," Ye Liuyun laughed.

After muttering to herself, she continued reading. Of course, she couldn't possibly read it carefully every single night, but she flipped through it quickly, stopping only when she found something interesting.

Ten thousand years later, however, the story of Yun Kingdom changed drastically from the beginning. The kingdom began to experience turmoil.

First, the emperor of the Yun Kingdom suddenly wanted to centralize power, or to put it bluntly, to weaken the power of the vassal kings. The first country he dealt with was the Lei Kingdom, which was also called the Lei Kingdom at the time, but it was just a kingdom. Now it is a dynasty that is even stronger than the Yun Kingdom.

At that time, Lei Kingdom was the weakest. Emperor Yun wanted to centralize power and demanded that the kingdoms abolish their national titles and become prefectures. However, more than 10,000 years had passed since the founding of Yun Kingdom, and these kingdoms had developed for so long. They were not secular dynasties. As soon as this centralization of power was implemented, it was met with strong resistance from the other seven kingdoms.

The seven kingdoms united and refused to carry out the orders of the Cloud Emperor. The Cloud Emperor, of course, would not allow them to disobey his orders. So the Cloud Kingdom launched its first war, sending a large army to attack the then strongest kingdom, the Thunder Kingdom. In the Cloud Emperor's view, as long as the Thunder Kingdom was conquered, the other six kingdoms would be no threat.

Thus, the armies of cultivators from both countries and the cultivation sects from both countries fought each other. Emperor Yun underestimated the development of Lei Kingdom over ten thousand years and failed to conquer it in a short time. Enraged, the Lei King of that generation declared independence, established himself as emperor, and refused to accept the rule of Yun Kingdom.

The first country to split apart has emerged.

Then, for various reasons, the other kingdoms followed a similar path to the Thunder Kingdom, all breaking away from the Cloud Kingdom. The last to break away was the Gold Kingdom, but it was almost ten thousand years later when the Gold Kingdom finally broke free from Cloud Kingdom's rule.

From then on, the Yun Kingdom never recovered and grew weaker and weaker. It was weak in terms of overall national strength, but in terms of the number of strong people, the Yun Kingdom still had the most of all the countries. In order to prevent the Yun Kingdom from attacking, the other countries formed several camps to protect each other, which made it difficult for the Yun Kingdom to deal with them.

"Tsk tsk, this Emperor Yun is such a good-for-nothing. He had a winning hand and ruined it all. Sigh! Indeed, there is no dynasty in this world that lasts forever," Ye Liuyun complained.

Ye Liuyun quickly flipped through the pages again, this time flipping to three hundred years ago, because the previous content was not very interesting, it was all about the conflict between Yun Kingdom and several other countries.

"This? How could this be?" Ye Liuyun was furious when he saw the historical records from three hundred years ago.

The inscription reads that the Lin Clan secretly colluded with several other countries to overthrow the Ye Clan and take their place. Ultimately, the Ye Clan launched a surprise attack on the Lin Clan, which almost destroyed them. Only a portion of the cultivators escaped to other countries. As for the Lin Clan members who did not escape, they were all exiled to the border and left to fend for themselves.

"How is this possible? Is this emperor a fool? It says there's no evidence, meaning there's no real evidence that the Lin clan colluded with other countries. He just suspected them and wiped out his ancestral maternal clan. If this were my descendant, I'd be so angry I'd crawl out of my coffin," Ye Liuyun cursed inwardly.

The reason she was so angry was mainly because the Lin and Ye families in Yun Kingdom reminded her of herself and Lin Aoxue. She could never do such a thing.

"Hey! Master, don't be angry. This is normal. You have to understand that tens of thousands of years have passed since these people were founded by their ancestors. After tens of thousands of years, their bloodline is basically gone," the spirit of the Time Mirror comforted him.

Alright, I've basically finished reading the History of Yun Kingdom. Anyway, it made Ye Liuyun extremely depressed. As for the history of other countries, there's no need to read it.

She began to look through records about the cultivation world of the Flying Immortal Continent. These books mainly recorded some powerful forces on the Flying Immortal Continent.

But it doesn't seem like there's anything worth watching.

Just as Ye Liuyun was patiently reading the ancient books, a group of people arrived outside the bookstore. This group was led by a middle-aged man wearing silver armor, and in front of him were the four female cultivators who had tried to capture Ye Liuyun not long ago.

“Lord Ye Cheng, the woman who offended His Highness the Second Prince is inside. She is very strong; the four of us are no match for her. We can only wait here,” one of the female cultivators said.

These four female cultivators were maids in the Second Prince's residence. This guy sent his maids to capture people, so he might want to take Ye Liuyun back to his own residence.

"Okay, I understand. You wait here, I'll go in and meet this woman." Ye Cheng said in a deep voice, then walked into the bookstore.

When the bookstore owner saw the city garrison soldiers arrive, he quickly stepped forward and saluted.

"Hey, sir, what's wrong?" the bookstore owner asked, puzzled.

This man named Ye Cheng is the regimental commander of the city's defense army. Speaking of which, the military structure of Yun Kingdom and the surrounding countries is quite unique, almost the same as that of the military structure on Earth.

For example, the leader of a ten-man team is called a squad leader, a thirty-man team leader, a sixty-man battalion commander, a one-hundred-man team leader, a one-thousand-man team leader, a one-thousand-man team leader, a five-thousand-man team leader, a ten-thousand-man army commander, and a one-hundred-man army corps commander. The highest authority in the Yun Kingdom's army is called the Chief of Military Affairs.

This guy is about the same rank as Ye Zhongqun. Ye Zhongqun's fortress is a regimental-level fortress. It is a border unit. Because border units are special, Ye Zhongqun's fortress has 10,000 soldiers.

However, in terms of importance and elite status, it certainly cannot compare to Ye City's. Ye City's city defense legion is the most important legion in the Yun Kingdom, responsible for protecting the safety of the Yun Kingdom's capital and maintaining public order.

One belonged to the border defense corps, and the other to the city defense corps.

"None of your business, get out of the way." Ye Cheng waved his hand and strode over to the bookshelf where Ye Liuyun was.

When Ye Liuyun saw someone approaching, he merely glanced at the person and, seeing that the other person was only at the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm, withdrew his gaze and continued reading.

Ye Cheng glanced at the books Ye Liuyun was looking at, as well as the books on the bookshelf that had clearly been tampered with. After looking at them, he frowned.

"You're the woman who offended His Highness the Second Prince? Judging from your appearance, you shouldn't be a cultivator from our Yun Kingdom, right?" Ye Cheng asked, squinting his eyes.

Because if one is a cultivator from the Yun Kingdom, it is impossible for them to read books like the Annals of the Yun Kingdom. These are things that the children of the Yun Kingdom learn from a young age, and only outsiders would take the initiative to look at them.

"Oh? Good eye. Not bad. I am not from Yun Kingdom. I am just a rogue cultivator passing through Yun Kingdom. I really don't know much about the rules of your Yun Kingdom." Ye Liuyun replied with a smile.

“It’s okay not to know the rules, but if you break them, you have to accept the punishment. Considering this is your first offense, come with me back to the city defense camp to accept your punishment. I’ll just detain you for a month,” Ye Cheng said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but roll her eyes, then put the book she was holding back on the bookshelf.

"Sorry, but I hate rules the most. I despise all these rules. I'm leaving now. If you have the guts, come and arrest me. Otherwise, I won't obey your orders." After reading the book, Ye Liuyun had no goodwill towards this member of the Yun Kingdom royal family, and his attitude began to turn unfriendly.
