Ye Futian had not been in Dali for a long time, but he had some feelings.
Dali was different from what he had imagined.
Under the rule of the dynasty, everything was orderly, and the spirit of martial arts was stronger than that of the Nine States.
Now, the people of the Upper Worlds of Dali Dynasty had come to the Lower Worlds to select people, and King Li was there as a witness, summoning all the cultivators of Dali.
Such a degree of importance showed the attitude of Dali Dynasty toward martial arts.
At this time, inside and outside King Li's Palace, there was a hubbub of voices, and there were countless cultivators.
On the throne, King Li looked at the vast crowd and said, "Today, the people of the Nine Counties are gathered here at King Li's Palace to witness the glory of the cultivators of the Nine Counties. The Imperial Advisor of the Upper Worlds has summoned many top forces to the Lower Worlds to select geniuses to cultivate in the Upper Worlds. This is a rare opportunity for the Nine Counties of Dali, and I hope that there will be more heroes of Dali who will enter the Upper Worlds and become the pillars of Dali Dynasty."
His voice rolled and spread inside and outside the palace, and suddenly the noise was suppressed, and the vast crowd gradually quieted down.
Countless people looked up at the top of the stairs, at the figure of King Li on the throne.
It was said that King Li had entered the third tier of Saint Plane, and was the strongest person in the Lower Worlds of Dali Dynasty. His strength was unfathomable, and his Great Path was flawless, making him an unblemished saint.
The people of the Nine Counties of Dali were full of respect for King Li.
"I will introduce you to someone," King Li continued, and he stretched out his right hand, pointing in the direction where Lu Chuan was.
"Lu Chuan, the disciple of the Imperial Advisor. Ten years ago, in the Battle of Empty Realm between the three imperial realms of the Upper Worlds, Lu Chuan led the cultivators of Dali and defeated the stronger ones. He killed more than half of the cultivators of Emperor Xia's Realm and won the glorious victory in the Battle of Empty Realm. Not long after the Battle of Empty Realm, Lu Chuan entered the Saint Plane, and now he is at the peak of the first tier of Saint Plane. This time, the Imperial Advisor sent him to the Lower Worlds to witness the grand event of Dali."
Countless eyes fell on Lu Chuan. The disciple of the Imperial Advisor was introduced by King Li himself, and he must be a peerless hero.
It was only then that Ye Futian knew who he was. He was the disciple of the Imperial Advisor of Dali, and he must be Yuan Jin's senior brother. He was also the legendary figure who had brought glory to Emperor Li's Realm in the Battle of Empty Realm ten years ago.
Hearing King Li's words, Lu Chuan stood up and bowed to the crowd, looking elegant. He said, "You flatter me, Your Majesty. I, Lu Chuan, am here under the order of my teacher. I am just a witness of this grand event. The proud sons of Dali are the main characters. Like my teacher, I am looking forward to this grand event."
After speaking, he clasped his hands and sat down, causing many people to sigh in admiration. They were impressed by his bearing.
He was indeed a disciple cultivated by the Imperial Advisor of Dali Dynasty. It was rare for someone of such status to have such a bearing.
With King Li's personal introduction, with Lu Chuan's status, all he needed to do was nod to the people and enjoy the honor.
In the direction of the County of Yan, the County King of Yan said, "The Imperial Advisor is indeed the pillar of Dali Dynasty. The disciples cultivated by him are all exceptional. Learn from him."
The people of the holy lands of the County of Yan all nodded. Huanxue, who was next to the Sword Saint of Fierce Wind, took a look at Ye Futian on the other side, but she said nothing. Even though they were both proud sons of heaven, Lu Chuan's bearing was far superior to that of the Seventh Swordsman. The gap was obvious. Lu Chuan was a true dragon among men.
Ye Futian was actually rather surprised at the moment. He had thought that having killed half of the mighty ones from Emperor Xia's Realm who participated in the battle, he would have had a murderous and domineering temperament. However, Lu Chuan gave him the impression that he was elegant, humble, and polite.
Even though they were enemies, Ye Futian had to admit that the cultivators of Dali Dynasty were more exceptional than he had imagined.
"This time, not only the Imperial Advisor's brother Lu Chuan is here in person, but there are also many top-notch forces like the Sword Mountain from the Upper Worlds. As long as you are able to show your peerless talents, you will have the opportunity to enter the Upper Worlds to train. For many years, such opportunities have rarely appeared in Dali Dynasty.
You should take advantage of them. "King Li smiled and said," This time, the event is aimed at cultivators of the Sage Plane. With the holy lands as the guide, cultivators from the holy lands of the Nine Counties, from the lower planes to the higher planes, will compete on the battle platform, showing their talents and powers at will. After the cultivators of the holy lands have shown their talents, if someone is chosen, other cultivators of Dali who think they are the best can challenge the chosen ones and show their powers. "
There were countless cultivators in the Nine Counties of Dali, and there were many cultivators in any Sage Plane. Dali did not seek to end the battle as quickly as possible, but to fight them one by one. They wanted to see the abilities and talents of each and every one of them.
As such, it was impossible for everyone to go up, as there was not that much time. As such, they started with the cultivators of the holy lands.
Until someone from the holy lands was chosen by the top-notch forces of the Upper Worlds, and then others from Dali would challenge them. Presumably, only the best of the best would dare to go up.
Such rules allowed them to see what level the top sages of Dali were at.
"Let's begin," King Li said. At the bottom of the stairs, a mighty one said loudly, "Serve the banquet and open the platform."
The voice rolled, and suddenly, maids of the palace shuttled to the grandstands, serving the banquet.
Of course, those who were qualified to sit were all cultivators of the holy lands of the Nine Counties.
And the cultivators of Dali who came to watch the ceremony could only watch from below.
The banquet would continue for many days.
People from the holy lands of the Nine Counties rose one after another and walked towards the platform. There were also several people from the holy land of the County of Yan who carried swords on their backs and walked forward.
When the two stepped onto the middle platform, it symbolized the beginning of the banquet.
But at the moment, they were only cultivators of the first plane of the Sage Plane.
Ye Futian looked at the platform. He never thought that one day he would sit in the grandstands of the Dali Palace and watch the cultivators of Dali fight.
Back then, the Nine State Forum was held in the land of the Nine States, and it was considered the biggest event. Now, the imperial advisor of Dali had ordered the battle of the Nine Counties to be held by King Li himself. The scale of the battle of the Nine Counties was obviously far greater than that of the Nine State Forum in the land of the Nine States. It could even be said that they were not at the same level.
This time, all the top figures of Dali were present. Not only that, but there were also people from the Upper Worlds.
It could be said that this was the highest scale of battles below the Saint Plane.
Battles were fought one after another. Among them, the County of Qin, the County of Dongyang, and the County of Yan were the strongest on average. After all, those three counties were the three strongest counties in Dali, and the holy lands were more powerful.
"How do you feel?" the Sword Saint of Fierce Wind asked Ye Futian from the grandstands of the County of Yan.
He had now thought that Ye Futian had been training hard in swordsmanship in the Mountain of Hidden Swords and had never entered the world to train, which was why he asked Ye Futian what he thought of the cultivators of Dali.
"They're weaker than I thought. When I was at this plane all those years ago, I probably didn't even have to draw my sword against those with platforms," Ye Futian said.
"You're impressive …" The Sword Saint of Fierce Wind smiled and shook his head, but he had gotten used to Ye Futian's tone. He continued, "The battles between sages at the pinnacle should be at the end. You can fight as a student of the Sword Clan of the Fierce Wind."
"Thank you, senior." Ye Futian nodded. "But then again, I'll have to see if there's anyone in the Nine Counties who's worthy of me drawing my sword."
"And if there isn't?" The Sword Saint of Fierce Wind looked puzzled.
"Then I won't draw my sword," Ye Futian said.
The Sword Saint of Fierce Wind was rather speechless, but he said, "There will be people in the Nine Counties of Dali and the holy lands of the imperial city who are worthy of you drawing your sword."
"That would be for the best." Ye Futian nodded.
Both of them did not bother to keep their voices down. Cultivators had extremely good hearing, and as such, many cultivators from holy lands in the County of Yan were able to hear their conversation. Many even deliberately looked in Ye Futian's direction, feeling rather speechless at his words and actions.
The Nine Counties of Dali still have to see if there's anyone worthy of him drawing his sword?
It turned out that his arrogance was not just limited to the County of Yan.
"If you're able to go to the Upper Worlds, then go train there." The Sword Saint of Fierce Wind suddenly said, "Look at the cultivators of Sword Mountain. It's the most powerful holy land of swordsmanship in both the Upper and Lower Worlds. You might be able to find many opponents there. Look at that Lu Chuan, the student of the imperial advisor. Look at his bearing. It's probably hard to find someone like him in the Lower Worlds."
Ye Futian took a look at the Sword Saint of Fierce Wind. His bearing was something that Ye Futian found admirable, regardless of where they stood.
Ye Futian felt that it was necessary to keep a certain distance from the Sword Saint of Fierce Wind.
The battle continued. Ye Futian watched the battles while enjoying his wine. He was at ease, and the days passed.
…
Emperor Xia's Realm, Emperor Xia's Palace, the princess' residence.
Xia Qingyuan stood there quietly. There was a Black Wind Condor in front of her.
"Where are we?" Xia Qingyuan asked the Black Wind Condor. She was already aware of Ye Futian's ability to control demonic beasts. That demonic beast was Ye Futian's mount, and their minds were connected.
"King Li's Palace," the Black Wind Condor looked at Xia Qingyuan and said.
Xia Qingyuan's expression changed slightly, and she said coldly, "Why are we going to King Li's Palace?"
"The imperial advisor of Dali has ordered to select geniuses from the Lower Worlds to train in the Upper Worlds. King Li has summoned people from holy lands of the Lower Worlds to spar, and the imperial advisor has even sent students to the Lower Worlds. Can you guess who it is, Princess?" the Black Wind Condor said. However, Xia Qingyuan's tone sounded like Ye Futian's.
She immediately understood that Ye Futian was sharing his will with the Black Wind Condor, and he was speaking in his tone.
"Who is it?" Xia Qingyuan asked.
"Lü Chuan," the Black Wind Condor said.
Xia Qingyuan's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange look. She naturally knew the name Lü Chuan.
"What do you want?" Xia Qingyuan's expression changed slightly, and she stared at the Black Wind Condor and asked.
"Training, of course," the Black Wind Condor said.
Xia Qingyuan stared coldly into the Black Wind Condor's eyes and said, "Do you want to join the top forces of Dali to train, or do you want to get close to Li Yao?"
"I'll take my leave." After the Black Wind Condor said this, Ye Futian's will withdrew. The Black Wind Condor flapped its wings and said, "Master is gone. Princess, can I go back now?"
Xia Qingyuan's expression was cold. That bastard was really free and easy. He actually went to the Lower World Palace of Dali Dynasty.
"No, you are not allowed to step out of the Princess's Residence." Xia Qingyuan glanced coldly at the Black Wind Condor.
The Black Wind Condor's dark eyes blinked. You're not happy with master, so you're picking on me?
"Princess, I still have things to do." The Black Wind Condor wanted to slip away. This palace was too serious and boring.
"Guards," Xia Qingyuan said, and suddenly a figure flashed to where they were.
"If he dares to step out, roast him," Xia Qingyuan said.
"Pfft …" The Black Wind Condor's legs turned to jelly, and he fell to the ground. Who did I piss off?
