Ye Futian naturally did not care about what those top forces thought of him. He looked elsewhere and saw the top geniuses from the Nine States.
He had seen many of them before, such as Lin Shubai and Tong He of the Nine State College, and Bai Luli of the Jixia Holy Palace. There was another person beside Bai Luli, who was also a genius from the Jixia Holy Palace and was named a Heavenly Chosen One by Xia Qingyuan.
In addition, other than those who had been killed by him back then, the other Heavenly Chosen Ones were all summoned.
He knew that these were the people that Xia Qingyuan wanted to focus on training.
Of course, other than the Nine States, Xia Qingyuan had also selected a group of cultivators from Emperor Xia's Palace to be her guards, such as Tian Ji, the son of the Sacred General of Tian.
"Guard Ye, the Princess wants to see you," a servant girl came and said to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian had a strange look on his face when he heard the way she addressed him. Guard Ye?
He took a look at the servant girl. She was the one who had told Xia Qingyuan not to let him enter Emperor Xia's Palace. She looked at him coldly and seemed to be very unhappy, probably because he had no respect for Xia Qingyuan at all.
Ye Futian naturally would not get angry with a servant girl. Moreover, it was not wrong to call her Guard Ye.
After all, his current identity was the Princess Xia Qingyuan's personal guard.
"Go," Saint Xia said to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian nodded and walked forward. The top geniuses of the Nine States all looked at Ye Futian, and their hearts trembled slightly. After all, Ye Futian had grown up with them, and it could even be said that he had risen after them. But that Sacred War had made Ye Futian unparalleled in the Nine States. After that, in the Battle of Proving Holiness, the Barren State had produced five Saints.
Later, they also heard that after they returned with Xia Qingyuan, Ye Futian and Yu Sheng had gone to the Upper Worlds, climbed the Sky Stairwell, and fought their way up to the Upper Worlds to take back Ye Wuchen's Life Spirit.
After coming to Emperor Xia's Palace, they heard some rumors about Ye Futian. He seemed to have gained quite a reputation in the Upper Worlds, and was even named the Princess's valet.
At this time, Princess Xia Qingyuan had personally invited him over. Was he the Princess's trusted aide?
Lin Shubai watched Ye Futian walk past him with a complicated expression. When Ye Futian first went to the Nine State College to cultivate, he was just a talented young man. At that time, the Nine State College had caused quite a stir because of him, and he had reminded Xu Chehan of some things. But now, Xu Chehan and Little Butterfly were both cultivating in the Holy Zhi Palace, and even Saint Jiang had gone there, which made people sigh.
What kind of charm did he have to make a Saint Plane cultivator act like this? His master, Saint Li, also thought highly of him.
Ye Futian walked through the crowd and came to a palace. Xia Qingyuan stood quietly at the side, looking down. From here, she could see the people coming.
"Princess," Ye Futian said.
"Come on up." Ye Futian nodded and walked to her side. He said, "Princess, why have you summoned the people of the Upper and Lower Worlds?"
"Do you know the history of the Divine Prefecture?" Xia Qingyuan asked him.
Ye Futian shook his head. "I don't know."
He grew up in the remote Qingzhou City of the Lower Worlds. Even though he had read the books of the Nine State College, he did not know the history of the Divine Prefecture. He only knew bits and pieces about Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing. And as his cultivation grew stronger, his horizons grew wider, and he understood that what he once thought to be the truth was often just rumors. Only by standing higher could he come into contact with the truth of the world.
"In ancient times, the Heavenly Path collapsed, cultivation was blocked, and the Great Path transformed into the Myriad Worlds. For thousands of years, peerless figures plundered the Great Path of heaven and earth, controlled the resources of the Great Path, and enslaved all living beings. The cultivation world was strict, and people were the same. The strong became stronger, and the weak had little chance other than to submit."
Xia Qingyuan spoke slowly. Her calm words told the history of the Divine Prefecture.
In ancient times, the Heavenly Path collapsed.
What was the Heavenly Path?
Cultivation was blocked, and what was the Great Path transformed into the Myriad Worlds?
In Emperor Xia's Realm, the rule aura of the Upper Worlds was clearly clearer and stronger, and it was more suitable for cultivation than the Lower Worlds.
Xia Qingyuan said that there were peerless figures who plundered the Great Path of heaven and earth, controlled the resources of the Great Path, and enslaved all living beings. The cultivation world was strict, so was there a better place to cultivate?
At this moment, he thought of the Chess Saint. Cultivation was plunder. Perhaps the Chess Saint's words were not false.
"What happened more than 300 years ago?" Ye Futian suddenly asked. He thought of Emperor Ye Qing.
More than 300 years ago, Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing became emperors and unified the world.
However, he did not know if what everyone in the Lower Worlds knew was really the truth.
"The history of the Divine Prefecture was a very chaotic history of plunder and conquest. Because peerless figures created top forces and plundered the resources of the Great Path, the competition was even more cruel. Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing became emperors 300 years ago and restored order. So, in these 300 years, the Divine Prefecture was relatively better, but it still could not solve the root of the problem."
Xia Qingyuan continued, "But these things are too far away for us. Let's not think about them for now."
Her father had said that Ye Futian's background might be shocking. She vaguely knew that Ye Futian seemed to have something to do with Emperor Ye Qing.
Ye Futian wanted to know why Donghuang the Great and Ye Futian would fall out, and why Emperor Ye Qing would become a taboo existence in the Divine Prefecture. Everything was destroyed. But he knew that even Xia Qingyuan would not know. Moreover, this did not seem to be a good topic to talk about.
Xia Qingyuan was right. It was indeed very far away from him.
"Does the history of the Divine Prefecture have anything to do with summoning people here?" Ye Futian asked.
"What I just said is the background. Most of the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path are ruled by Renhuangs, but there are some special places that are unruled. For example, not far from Emperor Xia's Realm, there is a realm called the Empty Realm. It was formed by a fragment of the Heavenly Path that collapsed in ancient times. Even now, the Great Path has not dissipated. Endless will of the Great Path shrouds the Empty Realm. There, many wandering cultivators gather to cultivate. In addition, there are also cultivators from the three imperial realms," Xia Qingyuan replied.
"Emperor Xia's Realm, Emperor Li's Realm?" Ye Futian looked at Xia Qingyuan.
"Yes." Xia Qingyuan nodded. "There is also the Demon Peacock Emperor's Realm. These three imperial realms are also neighboring realms. The Empty Realm is located in the middle of the three realms."
When Ye Futian was cultivating in the Nine States, he had heard that the Barren State seemed to be connected to the Demon Realm, and further west from the Summer State was the Dali Dynasty.
In the Upper Worlds, it represented the three imperial realms.
"Can it help to comprehend the Divine Path and cultivate?" Ye Futian asked.
"Yes." Xia Qingyuan nodded. "Not only is there a place like the Empty Realm, but there are also many resources for cultivation in the Upper Worlds. You did not participate in the Battle of Proving Holiness, and the resources for the Battle of Proving Holiness came from there. These things born of the Heavenly Path are mysterious and unpredictable. Not only can they directly help people to comprehend, but they can also produce stones of the Great Path, which can be refined into sacred spirit stones for cultivation, refining divine implements, and many other purposes."
Ye Futian was touched. He had not been in the Upper Worlds for long, and the Lower Worlds were lacking in resources for cultivation. He had never heard of this before.
Not long ago, Yaya had told him about the four major realms of the Divine Path: the Doctrine Saint, the True Self Saint, the Unblemished Saint, and the Nirvana Saint. This made him understand that the state of mind was extremely important in the cultivation of the Divine Path.
At this moment, what Xia Qingyuan said to him made him understand that cultivation resources were just as important.
In the cultivation of humans, they needed to raise their cultivation level bit by bit. After that, they would comprehend the Great Dao, stabilize their cultivation level, and have a clear state of mind. When both were achieved at the same time, they would be able to comprehend the Great Dao and break through.
At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of cultivation.
After experiencing the Sacred War back then, You Chi, Zhuge Qingfeng, and the other two had a strong state of mind. However, their cultivation levels were not high enough. Thus, they participated in the Battle of Proving Holiness and used external forces to comprehend the Divine Path, allowing their cultivation levels to reach a critical point and break through.
It was the same for Master Douzhan. His state of mind had reached the required level. In the Sacred War, he used the battle matrix to break through the limits of his physical body, allowing his realm to touch upon the Divine Path and bring forth the Great Path Divine Catastrophe.
Thus, for cultivators, there were two difficulties in breaking through to the Saint Plane. That was why there were so few Saints in the Lower Realms.
Firstly, their cultivation talent was insufficient, and they were unable to reach the pinnacle of Saint Plane.
Secondly, his state of mind was not strong enough.
For the people of the Lower Worlds, the first point was even more important. If they did not have enough talent, they would not be able to break through the barrier. Thus, for the people of the Nine States, the Battle of Proving Holiness was extremely cherished.
This was actually also the so-called cultivation resources of the Upper Worlds. For the disciples of the top forces of the Upper Worlds, this was nothing. Moreover, their talent was already outstanding, so what prevented them from becoming Saints was more because of the second point.
Of course, this was only relative. The people of the top forces had broad horizons, cultivated powerful methods, and were guided by famous teachers. For example, Wang Chuan, his state of mind was extremely tough, and he entered the Way through defeat.
In comparison, it was much more difficult for the people of the Nine States to become Saints than it was for the top figures of the Upper Worlds.
They were born to be unjust.
"If it is so important, then what is the use of people of the Sage Plane?" Ye Futian asked. The battle between the three imperial realms was a battle between Saints.
"Saints fall or Sages fall, the losses are smaller?" Xia Qingyuan asked.
Ye Futian suddenly understood. Compared to the Sacred War that had broken out in the past, Saints had fallen.
"The three imperial realms have agreed that the battle below the Saint Plane will determine the control of the Empty Realm for ten years. Of course, cultivators of the Saint Plane will also go. After all, it is normal to not abide by the rules, and a battle between Saints could break out at any time."
Ye Futian nodded. The rules of the Sacred War of the Nine States were with Emperor Xia, and no one could defy them. The three imperial realms were equal in strength, and the rules were only a verbal agreement between the three parties. There was no absolute power above to make the rules, because the rules were destined to be very fragile and could be broken at any time.
It seemed that the last time Li Yao came, it was also for this matter, to prepare in advance.
"When do we leave?" Ye Futian asked directly. Of course, he would not refuse. First, Emperor Li's Realm would participate in the war, and second, he wanted to see it for himself.
"I will give you seven days for the forces to send people here. At that time, the people of the Nine States will be under your command," Xia Qingyuan said. She was going to choose the Chosen One, and she was going to hand it over to Ye Futian, and he would be the leader.
"Okay." Ye Futian agreed calmly!
