People from the Nine States came to Zhongzhou City one after another. The Thousand Holy Islands outside the Holy Zhi Palace were open to the world.
Suddenly, the floating cities with the Holy Zhi Palace as the center became the most prosperous and lively places in the Nine States. In addition to people from other states, many cultivators from the Barren State had also gathered.
At the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace was the place where the Holy Zhi Palace had recruited disciples. Countless cultivators gathered there. On the stone wall in front of the Holy Zhi Palace, top figures of the Holy Zhi Palace often came to carve their wills into the stone wall. At this time, one could faintly feel the rule power contained in the stone wall, seeping into people's wills.
Many people didn't dare to look at it for too long.
Countless people guessed what this stone wall was used for.
Did the Holy Zhi Palace carve this stone wall to help the people of the Thousand Holy Islands cultivate?
Not only that, but the stone wall had a crack in the middle. The crack seemed to be a sky stairway leading to the Holy Zhi Palace. At the end of the sky stairway, there was a shining door. It was the door of the Holy Zhi Palace.
Looking up, one could vaguely see that there were palaces in the rebuilt Holy Zhi Palace that reached into the clouds. It was incomparably magnificent.
The Holy Zhi Palace had gathered skilled craftsmen in the Barren State. The entire Barren State had responded. Many people with high cultivation levels had come, including those who were good at matrixes. With the help of powerful cultivators from the Holy Zhi Palace, the Holy Zhi Palace had been built today.
"There are also many cultivators carving on the stone wall on both sides of the sky stairway." Someone looked in the direction of the sky stairway.
"I see Zhuge Qingfeng, the head of the Zhuge Family," someone said.
"That swordsman in black is Qin Zhuang of the Holy Zhi Palace. He definitely has the strength to enter the Sage Ranking. He is carving words with his sword and leaving sword will on the stone wall. What are they doing?" Someone exclaimed. Many great figures of the Holy Zhi Palace had appeared there.
At this time, a figure came over. He stood in front of the sky stairway and looked at the vast crowd.
"It's Senior Sword Demon." Some were shocked to see the leader of the group. Now, anyone who walked out of the Holy Zhi Palace was a great figure that the people of the Barren State looked up to. Those mighty ones ranked on the Barren Sky Ranking who entered the Holy Zhi Palace must have become even more powerful after experiencing the turmoil of the Sacred War.
"By the order of the Palace Lord of the Palace of Doctrine, the Nine State Forum will be held on the first day of the 10,019th year of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, and it will not be divided by the Nine States. Everyone who comes from the Nine States, as long as they are in the Noble Plane, can enter the Palace through this sky stairwell, they will be able to participate in the Law Battles of the Nine State Forum.
The Sword Demon looked at the crowd and announced the rules of the Nine State Forum. Many people were shaken, including the mighty ones from the Nine States.
Ye Futian had once again broken the rules and convened the Nine State Forum with a brand new set of rules. It was not like before, where holy lands of the Nine States were separated. Instead, everyone would be mixed together, and anyone who made it to the sky stairwell would be able to participate in the Law Battles.
Of course, no one said anything. They had heard from their elders that the reason the Nine State Forum was held in the Holy Zhi Palace was the Princess's idea. No matter what Ye Futian wanted to do, the people of the Nine States would not have any objections.
The core figures of the Nine States thought to themselves that it seemed that Emperor Xia valued Ye Futian.
From this Sacred War, it could be faintly seen that although Emperor Xia seemed to be neutral, since the last Sacred War that had attracted the attention of the Nine States, Emperor Xia had faintly leaned towards Ye Futian.
Emperor Xia, the ruler of the Nine States, had such an attitude. One could imagine Ye Futian's future. The Saints of the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean were not stupid. They could naturally see this. Under such circumstances, they had no choice but to bow their heads.
"In addition, everyone can use this stone wall engraved here to cultivate. Other than that, on the day of the Nine State Forum, those who do not participate in the Nine State Forum can also go to the Holy Zhi Palace to watch the battles from other paths. When the time comes, there will be someone to guide you into the Holy Zhi Palace." The Sword Demon turned around and left after making the announcement. After receiving confirmation, countless people in the Barren State were excited.
They did not expect to be able to witness such a grand occasion as the Nine State Forum in their lifetime. This was a grand event in the Nine States. In the past, the Barren State did not even have the right to participate.
Under the anticipation of countless people, the 10,018th year of the Divine Prefecture Calendar finally came to an end. Countless people celebrated the new year in Zhongzhou City.
The 10,019th year of the Divine Prefecture Calendar finally arrived under the attention of the Nine States.
On this day, there was a sea of people outside the Holy Zhi Palace. At a glance, there seemed to be no end. Most of the people were cultivators from various regions of the Barren State. Cultivators from all the top forces in the Barren State besides those who had joined the Holy Zhi Palace had all arrived. Even the forces that had grudges with Ye Futian in the past had all arrived. They did not dare to not show up.
Even if Ye Futian did not give any orders or make any requests, they still did not dare to not show up. Now, a word from Ye Futian could move the Nine States, let alone the Barren State.
One word from him could change the structure of the Barren State and make a top force disappear.
Now there were all kinds of rumors circulating in the Barren State. For example, after the Nine State Forum, Palace Lord Ye Futian would re-establish the order of the Barren State and change the current structure of the Barren State.
Those forces that did not join the Holy Zhi Palace to participate in the Sacred War were all trembling. Even if Ye Futian did not blame them for not punishing them, Ye Futian's will could directly affect their future.
Looking at the stairs in front of them, countless people sighed in their hearts. Less than ten years had passed, but it seemed like an era had passed.
From this day on, the Barren State had stepped into a new era.
At this time, above the void in the distance, there was an incomparably powerful aura. Everyone turned their eyes and saw a group of cultivators riding dragons, like gods from the Nine Heavens.
Especially the old man in the lead, his temperament was extraordinary, as if he was detached from the world.
"Saint Xia of the Summer State has come to visit the Holy Zhi Palace and lead the Xia clan to participate in the Nine State Forum," at this time, a figure beside the old man said loudly, and his voice spread inside and outside the Holy Zhi Palace.
Countless people's hearts trembled. The number one force of the Nine States had come, and Saint Xia, who was faintly known as the leader of the Nine States, had come in person to visit the Holy Zhi Palace, giving the Holy Zhi Palace enough face, or rather, Ye Futian.
"Senior Saint Xia, please." Inside the Holy Zhi Palace, a voice came from afar, and someone came to greet him.
"It's the voice of Palace Lord Ye." A voice came from the crowd. Saint Xia had come, and even though Palace Lord Ye was already famous in the Nine States, it was only right for him to greet him personally, out of mutual respect.
"Saint Xia came so quickly." A laugh came, and everyone saw another group of figures descending from the sky. The leader was still an old man, with the air of a celestial, outstanding in the world, and some young people followed him, all of them looking distinguished.
"Nine State College has come to participate in the Nine State Forum," another voice came.
"Senior Saint Li, please." Ye Futian's voice came again, and everyone's heart trembled again. Saint Li, the College Chief of Nine State College, who was ranked fourth on the Saint Ranking, had come in person.
At this time, the Light of Buddha blazed in the void, and a Buddhist cultivator descended, looking solemn. The person in the lead was like an ancient Buddha, and it was the Vajra Region Lord, who was ranked sixth on the Saint Ranking.
"The Vajra Region is here to pay a visit."
"The Qi Clan of Qi State is here to participate in the Nine State Forum."
"Jixia Holy Palace is here to pay a visit."
"The Holy Temple of Ten Corners has come to visit the Holy Zhi Palace."
"…"
Voices rang out one after another. Every time they rang out, everyone's hearts were shaken. Looking at the powerful lineup that kept entering the Holy Zhi Palace, the hearts of the people from the Barren State gradually became numb. Many old cultivators from the Barren State's Thousand Holy Islands even had the urge to cry.
In fact, there were even some old men whose eyes were brimming with tears of excitement. He looked at the grand occasion at this moment and raised his head towards the horizon. "Old Palace Lord, how great would it be if you could see this day."
Back then, the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, Sage Chunyang, and the Deputy Palace Lord Liu Chan had chosen Bai Luli as their successor. However, at the last moment, they sacrificed their lives to ask Emperor Xia to make Ye Futian the new Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, a sacred ground of the Barren State. At that time, Ye Futian was only in the Noble Plane.
At that time, the Holy Zhi Palace was being bullied by Zhisheng Cliffs and was almost destroyed.
Where was Zhisheng Cliffs today?
Where was the Head Saint of Zhisheng Cliffs? Where was Kong Yao, who had been bullying the Holy Zhi Palace?
And today, the Holy Zhi Palace was in such a grand occasion.
Looking at the history of the Nine States, when had the Nine State Forum ever been as grand as it was today?
All the top figures of the Nine States, the cultivators of the Saint Plane, had come in person.
However, the two Palace Lords could not see them.
From now on, the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State would no longer be bullied by any other holy lands. Only they could bully other holy lands. It was said that today, the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean would apologize and submit to Palace Lord Ye.
"Father, I must enter the Holy Zhi Palace to cultivate at all costs," a young man said.
"You have ambition. Work hard in your cultivation in the future," a middle-aged man said with a smile.
Countless juniors saw this scene and swore in their hearts that they must enter the Holy Zhi Palace. Such a scene was something that the people of the Barren State had never dared to imagine before, but now they were witnessing it with their own eyes.
In this Nine State Forum, they could not only see the legendary figures of the Holy Zhi Palace, but also the peak existences of the Nine States. Almost all the cultivators on the Sage and Saint Ranking were here.
Some people swore in their hearts, some felt their blood boil, some were filled with emotion, and at the same time, there were also people who showed regret.
For example, the Ximen Clan of Zhongzhou City, the Thunder Courtyard, and the Barren State's Mortal World and other top forces had the opportunity to enter the Holy Zhi Palace to participate in the Sacred War and become a member of the Holy Zhi Palace. They could also have the opportunity to sit with the top figures of the Nine States, but now, they could only look up.
In the future, when they saw Zhuge Qingfeng, Xu Shang, You Chi, and other figures on the Barren Sky Ranking, they would have to bow their heads.
Moreover, after those people went through the Sacred War, their strength would probably be far behind them. In the future, they might even have the opportunity to prove themselves as Saints. Wasn't this what they dreamed of?
And in this situation, they had no hope of proving themselves as Saints. Did they still have the right to compete with the top figures of the Holy Zhi Palace?
If they missed it, they missed it.
Among the crowd, Ximen Hanjiang was also there. The former number one on the Law Rank could now only look up at the Holy Zhi Palace in front of him. It was an extravagant hope to enter!
