In the land of the Nine States, mighty ones from various holy lands arrived one after another. The saints all arrived and entered the Holy Zhi Palace. Those who participated in the Nine State Forum remained in front of the stone wall, mingling with the vast crowd.
At this moment, above the firmament, there were Kunpengs, black dragons and other giant beasts soaring through the air. Countless people looked up and saw a dark mass in the void. A large number of cultivators had actually arrived, as if everyone from the holy land had come.
"The Three Holy Lands of the Endless Ocean have arrived." Many people secretly shivered in their hearts. They had already guessed who these people were.
"The Ocean King Palace is here to apologize to the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State."
"The North Deep has come to the Holy Zhi Palace to apologize."
"Heavenly Cliffs is here to ask for forgiveness."
Three shocked voices rang out consecutively, and they were spoken by the leaders of the three Holy Lands to show their sincerity.
This time, the Little Princess had personally come forward to mediate. They had agreed to Ye Futian's conditions, and with the Princess as a witness, there was no way they would dare to feign civility. Even if they had their own thoughts, they had to act on the surface.
Since he had chosen to compromise, he would have to put his face aside for the time being.
Since the situation was like this, they had no choice but to give in. Either the Holy Land would cease to exist, or they would lower their heads.
And they knew very well that this was not only bowing to Ye Futian, but also to Emperor Xia. They were the ones who initiated the Sacred War. Now that they had lost, they naturally had to pay the price. Otherwise, Emperor Xia would only side with Ye Futian. Even if Great Zhou Sacred King wanted to kill Ye Futian at that time, he still fell.
They had never thought of exchanging their lives with Ye Futian.
The vast space suddenly fell into dead silence. There was no welcoming voice from the Holy Zhi Palace, only silence. The mighty ones from the three holy lands landed in front of the stone wall. Many of them even lowered their heads slightly, their hearts filled with emotions. The seven holy lands had encircled the Holy Zhi Palace and lost. Now, this was the price they had to pay.
"The Sage has lowered his head." Countless people in the Barren State stared at the scene, and their hearts trembled again. Today, not only did the saints of the Nine States come to visit, but the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean also came to beg for forgiveness.
A figure walked over. This person was tall and imposing, like an ancient god standing on the stairway to heaven.
"Battle Saint." Countless people in the Barren State looked at the figure and suddenly, excitement appeared on their faces. Some people even began to breathe rapidly. They did not have such an intense feeling when they saw the saints of the other Nine States.
However, Douzhan was different. In the first battle of the Divine Path, he had almost single-handedly turned the tide and saved the Holy Zhi Palace. He had forcibly broken the limits of his physical body and attracted the Divine Catastrophe. However, he did not go through the catastrophe. Instead, he used the Divine Catastrophe to deal with the cultivators of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. He did not hesitate to burn his life to break through the battle matrix of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's army. In the end, he was on the verge of death and forced the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty to retreat. From then on, a great era began.
Ye Futian, the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, took him to Saint Jiang of the Nine State College to ask for medicine. Only then was Douzhan cured and able to cross the tribulation and become a Saint.
He was a living legend of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State, a figure that would go down in the annals of history.
How could the people of the Barren State not admire him?
"Just asking for forgiveness?" Douzhan looked coldly at the people from the three Holy Lands of the Endless Ocean, and his voice resounded in the air.
"The three Holy Lands of the Endless Ocean are willing to serve the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian, as the Ocean King. From today onwards, the Ocean King of the Endless Ocean will be respected," Ocean Saint of the Ocean Palace said. This was the title he had dreamed of, to become the master of the Endless Ocean, so he was called the Ocean Saint after becoming a saint.
But now, Ye Futian would inherit the title of Ocean King.
"Also," Douzhan continued, his voice still cold.
"We will enter the Holy Zhi Palace and go to the tombs of those who died in the battle to repent," Saint North Deep said. Saint North Darknorth said. Even though they were unwilling, they had to agree to the princess's request. No matter what happened today, they would accept it.
Douzhan glanced at the crowd. He naturally understood that the Saints from the Endless Ocean were probably unwilling to give up, but they were forced by the situation. Ye Futian had reminded him before, but it did not matter.
"Since Palace Lord Ye is the Ocean King, then the order of the Ocean King is that after the Nine State Forum, you will bring all the cultivation methods of the three holy lands to the Holy Zhi Palace and present them to the Ocean King. Are there any objections?" Douzhan said loudly.
The cultivators of the three holy lands felt their hearts twitch, but they could only bite the bullet and say, "No objections."
"Also, the Ocean King will often transfer the cultivators of the Endless Ocean to the Holy Zhi Palace to cultivate and learn from the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace. Are there any objections?" Douzhan continued.
"No objections," they continued.
"Alright, since the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean are sincere in their allegiance, then enter the Holy Zhi Palace," Douzhan said. He then turned and walked away. The mighty cultivators of the Endless Ocean followed him into the Holy Zhi Palace, leaving behind countless shocked people.
The three holy lands of the Endless Ocean had surrendered. From this day on, a new Ocean King of the Endless Ocean was born, and the Halberd of Time and Space happened to be in Ye Futian's hands.
Perhaps, this was fate.
"The Yi Clan of the Summer State has come to visit the Holy Zhi Palace." Above the sky, a group of dazzling figures arrived and headed in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace.
However, there was no sound from the Holy Zhi Palace, causing the cultivators of the Yi Clan to stop outside.
"The Yi Clan of the Summer State has come to participate in the Nine State Forum," another voice said, a little displeased.
"Enter." An indifferent voice rang out. There was only one word.
Even the word 'please' was ignored.
The cultivators of the Yi Clan looked a little unhappy, and Saint Yi was even more displeased. It seemed that Ye Futian still held a grudge for the battle at the Imperial Mausoleum.
At that time, they had made a move against Ye Futian.
Later, the Moon Saint went to persuade them not to participate in the battle, and they watched from the sidelines. But even so, although Ye Futian would not attack the Yi Clan, it was natural that his attitude was cold.
Today, Saint Yi had come in person to ease the tension, but Ye Futian did not give him any face.
However, the current Holy Zhi Palace was already able to suppress the Yi Clan in terms of strength alone.
Therefore, Saint Yi could only bite the bullet and enter the Holy Zhi Palace.
After a long time, the holy lands arrived one after another. On the sky stairwell, the Sword Demon appeared and looked down at the sky. He said loudly, "The Nine State Forum has officially begun. All Noble Plane cultivators of the Nine States may challenge the sky stairwell. Those who can enter the Holy Zhi Palace from the sky stairwell may participate in the Law Battles. The rest will be guided into the Holy Zhi Palace by people on both sides."
"Finally, it has begun." Countless Noble Plane cultivators who wanted to participate in the Nine State Forum took a deep breath. In an instant, thousands of cultivators stepped forward, walking towards the long and narrow sky stairwell of the Great Path.
For the other states of the Nine States, it was the qualification for the Law Battles.
However, for the people of the Barren State, it was not only a ticket to the Law Battles, but also a ladder to realize their dreams of entering the Holy Zhi Palace to cultivate.
As long as they could walk up from there, they would also become a member of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State's holy land.
Standing on the Holy Zhi Palace, at a glance, countless people walked forward, blotting out the sky as if to drown this holy land.
The people who entered the Holy Zhi Palace from both sides were guided all the way forward. Now, the Holy Zhi Palace exuded a sense of sacred majesty. There were many palaces on both sides, and in front of them was a straight road. Looking into the distance, they could vaguely see that the terrain was getting higher and higher. In the depths of the Holy Zhi Palace, there was a palace that towered into the sky, ethereal and sacred.
As they moved forward, they got closer and closer to that place. The mighty crowd could not help but keep quiet, as if they could feel the solemn and sacred atmosphere, as if they were going on a pilgrimage.
For the people of the Barren State, the significance of coming today was indeed not only to watch the Nine State Forum, but also to make a pilgrimage.
After a long time, they finally came to the end of the road, an extremely vast place to watch the battle. Everyone was lined up in order of arrival, all the way to the back.
In front of them, there was an incomparably gorgeous Law Battle Platform suspended in the air.
In front of the platform was the celestial staircase that led to the majestic palace in the void. At this time, on the celestial staircase, there was a viewing platform for the holy lands of the Nine States in an arc, and there were already many cultivators from the holy lands of the Nine States sitting there.
Behind them, cultivators came one after another from the void and landed on the suspended Law Battle Platform. They were cultivators who had already passed the assessment and were qualified to participate in the Law Battles.
Watching people land on the Law Battle Platform, many people were a little envious. A battle of nobles witnessed by all the saints of the Nine States was probably the only time in a hundred years, and it was very rare.
But compared to those who had qualified for the Law Battles, the people of the Nine States were more curious about Ye Futian, especially the people of the Barren State. They all looked up at the sky, looking forward to his arrival.
Time passed little by little, and there were more and more cultivators on the Law Battle Platform, and there were more people from the holy lands in the front viewing platform. The cultivators of the three holy lands of the Endless Sea had all arrived, but they were sitting at the back. In addition, there were also the cultivators of the Yi clan, who were also arranged to sit at the very end.
Saint Yi sat there with a livid face, but he could not bring himself to leave. It was hard to suppress this anger.
The sun shone down from the sky, falling on the gorgeous Law Battle Platform. Countless people still looked up at the sky and saw that on the celestial staircase, in front of the magnificent palace, there finally appeared a mighty group of figures, walking down the stairs.
Among these people were Saint Xia, Saint Li, the Lord of the Vajra Region, the Moon Saint, and others. They were all cultivators of the Saint Plane who favored the Holy Zhi Palace in this Sacred War.
Ye Futian directly welcomed them into the palace to talk.
Countless eyes looked at the same place, the mighty crowd, and the hearts of many people in the Barren State beat slightly. They looked at the celestial staircase, at the white-haired figure standing in the middle. The handsome white-haired youth in white was now the most legendary figure in the Barren State, the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian.
Beside the white-haired youth, there were many figures, such as the Sword Saint, Yu Sheng, Gu Dongliu, You Chi, Xu Shang, Zhuge Qingfeng, Yun Shang, Qin Zhuang, Sword Demon, and others. Some of these people had risen later, and some had long been listed on the Barren Sky Ranking, but now they were all legends of the Barren State, people who would be remembered by the Barren State.
At this moment, countless cultivators in the Barren State had the urge to cry, and even some people who valued relationships had tears in their eyes.
In this life, to be able to see them here was not a waste of this life.
It was just that there seemed to be one person missing by Palace Lord Ye's side!
