In the Holy Zhi Palace, many cultivators all looked up at the void.
They knew that the lords of the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean were afraid and had come to greet them.
The fall of the three saints of Xihua Sacred Mountain, especially the death of Saint Xihua, seemed to have a great impact on the Nine States. The impact was very strong.
"Go to the mausoleum of the Holy Zhi Palace and repent for three days," Ye Futian said.
The lords of the three holy lands of the Endless Ocean were stunned when they heard this. There was no pretense of civility, only one sentence.
They were asked to repent by themselves. Such directness made them a little uncomfortable for a while.
But soon, they took a deep breath, and their hearts were complicated.
Ye Futian did not see them, which seemed to be a little disrespectful, but they had promised to submit to the Holy Zhi Palace and serve Ye Futian as their master.
Moreover, it was unrealistic to say that Ye Futian really did not have any resentment towards them.
By doing this, Ye Futian probably wanted to put an end to this matter. From now on, the storm of the Sacred War would be written off, and he would not care about it anymore.
If so, repenting for three days and losing some face was not a big deal.
After all, Ye Futian's status in the Nine States was now clear. Before he traveled to the Lower Worlds, the princess personally accompanied him. Was this a treatment that people of the Nine States could enjoy?
The highly respected Saint Xia also bowed politely when he saw the little princess.
In the land of the Nine States, who could walk side by side with the little princess?
Only Ye Futian of the Barren State.
What was Ye Futian's status in the past, what was Ye Futian's status now, and what would be Ye Futian's status in the future?
After thinking this through, the three of them looked at each other and bowed. "Yes."
After saying this, they stepped out towards the direction of the mausoleum, repenting in the mausoleum.
At this time, in a palace, Ye Futian stepped out.
Here, Douzhan, You Chi, Zhuge Qingfeng, and others were all there. Ye Futian walked forward step by step, came to the front of the stairs, and looked down at the vast land of the Holy Zhi Palace.
Raising his head, Ye Futian looked at the land above. There, there had once been a destructive battle, many cultivators of the Holy Zhi Palace died, and the former Holy Zhi Palace was also turned into ruins.
Now, the Great Zhou Sacred King was dead, and Saint Xihua, the culprit, had received the punishment he deserved. Should all of this be over?
After a long silence, Ye Futian said, "All these years, the Nine States have been in chaos for a long time. I personally destroyed the three holy lands. While the Holy Zhi Palace has risen, the Nine States have suffered great losses, especially the Eastern State."
Douzhan and the others listened quietly and said nothing. Of the three holy lands of the Eastern State, the Glass Saint was now by Ye Futian's side, Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty were destroyed, and the Sky Saint was a lone cultivator who did not pass on his teachings.
"The old Palace Lord hoped that the Holy Zhi Palace would grow stronger and become the holy land of preaching in the Barren State. Now that the first step has been completed, the rest will be left to Master and all of you," Ye Futian said.
"Futian." Douzhan and the others naturally understood the meaning in his words. It seemed that he had the intention of stepping down.
"Futian, you must know that whether you are in the Holy Zhi Palace or not, you are the faith of the Holy Zhi Palace. Even if you are cultivating outside, as long as you keep your identity as the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, it will be fine," Douzhan said.
"Douzhan is right. As for the rest, your master can do it," You Chi also said.
"All these years, although I bear the title of Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, in reality, it was Master and all of you who did things. Without you, the Holy Zhi Palace would not be where it is today. Speaking of which, it was not me who built the Holy Zhi Palace, but the Holy Zhi Palace that built my personal reputation."
Ye Futian shook his head. "Now, everything should return to its original state. I, as an incompetent Palace Lord, will do one last thing for the Holy Zhi Palace, for the Nine States."
Douzhan and the others all looked at Ye Futian. It seemed that Ye Futian had already made up his mind.
At this time, Ye Futian looked into the distance and said softly, "Master, please go to the holy lands of the Nine States and invite them to the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State. The Holy Zhi Palace will hold a feast to discuss how to create the grandest martial arts event in the Nine States, surpassing the Nine State Forum. This martial arts event belongs to cultivators of the Sage Plane. At that time, I will invite the Princess to participate in the discussion, hoping that this event will open up the closed Upper and Lower Realms."
Douzhan and the others trembled slightly, and they all looked shocked. They vaguely understood what Ye Futian wanted to do.
Now, in the Nine States, probably only Ye Futian could do it.
Even Saint Xia could not do it.
In the land of the Nine States, only he could affect the Princess.
"Very well." Douzhan took a deep breath and then nodded seriously. If this could be done, it would indeed be a great contribution to the land of the Nine States, and it would make the trend of martial arts cultivation in the Nine States more prosperous.
The others also nodded seriously. If Ye Futian had this ambition, they were naturally willing to work together for it.
"This matter needs to be grand and announced to the Nine States." Ye Futian continued, "In addition, pass my order to the Hall of Holy Light of Qi State. Tell them that I also invite the Hall of Holy Light to come and participate in this grand event. The Hall of Holy Light is also a part of the Nine States. As long as the people of the Hall of Holy Light who participated in the war are willing to come and apologize and repent, I, Ye Futian, will let bygones be bygones, and the Hall of Holy Light will still be one of the holy lands of the Nine States.
"Only one person, Saint Ji, the Lord of the Hall of Holy Light, will not be forgiven."
Saint Ji was one of the main culprits of the Sacred War. The others could be forgiven and let bygones be bygones, but Saint Ji, who had ordered the Sacred War, could not be forgiven.
Of course, the premise was that those who participated in the war must come and apologize and repent in the cemetery.
Douzhan and the others looked at the back of Ye Futian standing there alone. After the shock, there was a smile in their eyes.
Now, Ye Futian was a saint.
"Yes, Palace Lord." Everyone took the order and then retreated. Soon, a group of figures broke through the air and headed for the states of the Nine States.
Soon, there was a message that spread throughout the Nine States.
Ye Futian had summoned all the holy lands of the Nine States to hold an unprecedented event in the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State.
For a time, the Nine States responded, and all the holy lands responded directly that they would go to the Barren State to participate in the event.
The Barren State once again attracted the attention of the world, attracting the attention of the entire Nine States.
Countless people in the Nine States set out for the Barren State, wanting to witness this event.
Many people had already said that this event would be the most eye-catching event in the Nine States in decades.
As the appointed day arrived, Saint Xia of the Summer State set out. Saint Li of the Nine State College also set out, and naturally, the Moon Saint.
War State, Vajra Region, Holy Temple of Ten Corners, and many other holy lands set out one after another.
Qi State, the head of the Qi Clan personally led people, and Jixia Holy Palace and Yue House naturally followed suit.
Only the atmosphere of the Hall of Holy Light was a little strange.
In the past few years, the development of the Hall of Holy Light could not be said to be slow, and it became one of the top five holy lands in the Nine States.
The Lord of the Hall of Holy Light, Saint Ji, ranked fifth on the Saint Ranking, had a limitless time. He was domineering and showed off his abilities, and his aura faintly suppressed the old top holy lands of the Qi Clan and Jixia Holy Palace in the Qi State.
But after the Sacred War, Saint Ji was grounded, and the Hall of Holy Light had been under the protection of the Holy Light, not daring to relax.
Until recently, the protective matrix of the Hall of Holy Light was finally opened.
The cultivators of the Hall of Holy Light left one after another, heading in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State. Who would have thought of such a situation?
In the Hall of Holy Light, there was a main hall that pierced the clouds. Standing on the edge, one could overlook the vast Hall of Holy Light.
At this time, Saint Ji stood there, watching the flow of the crowd below. One by one, the cultivators of the Hall of Holy Light came out and left.
There were fewer and fewer people, and he had been standing there watching.
He watched as the number of people in the Hall of Holy Light decreased day by day, and watched as many people bowed to him and then left.
Until the hall was empty, and the once prosperous Hall of Holy Light now seemed extremely quiet. At a glance, there was almost no one. The main peak that pierced the clouds seemed particularly lonely, and his figure looked even more desolate.
"Today is the day Ye Futian is holding the feast, right?" Saint Ji looked into the distance and murmured.
"Yes, Lord." Behind Saint Ji, an old servant stood there quietly. It was the old man who watched Saint Ji grow up many years ago. His hair was all white, but he kept it.
"Uncle Han, was I wrong?" Saint Ji asked.
"Lord, there is no absolute right or wrong in this world," the old man said softly.
"Why did the people of the Hall of Holy Light all choose to leave?" Saint Ji asked again.
"That is the nature of people. Moreover, Ye Futian, the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, was able to let go of the grudges of the Sacred War all those years ago. He is also a man of bearing. It is not surprising that the people of the Hall of Holy Light all left the mountain. Lord, please do not blame them," the old man said.
"Yes." Saint Ji nodded. "I thought I would wait for his revenge, but I did not expect him to let go. Moreover, now that he is holding the Nine States Grand Banquet, it is not only to help the Barren State's Holy Zhi Palace, but also to help the Nine States. In terms of scale, I am not as good as him."
The old man stood there quietly and did not say anything more.
Saint Ji smiled and said, "It's been a few years, it's time to go out for a walk."
"Lord." The old man looked up at Saint Ji. Emperor Xia had personally issued a ban to Saint Ji. Those who dared to defy Emperor Xia's orders would not be able to live.
"Since he has such courage, I hope he will not make things difficult for the Hall of Holy Light in the future." As Saint Ji's voice fell, a boundless bright light shot into the sky, and then his body turned into a beam of light and rushed above the sky.
"An era is over." Saint Ji's voice spread throughout the Hall of Holy Light. After he rushed out of the Hall of Holy Light, he disappeared.
From then on, the people of the Nine States had never seen Saint Ji again. Some said he was dead, killed by Emperor Xia, and some said he was taken away by Emperor Xia's people.
This became a mystery of the Nine States.
In contrast to the sadness of the Hall of Holy Light, on this day, the Barren State's Holy Zhi Palace held an unparalleled banquet that would affect the future of the Nine States.
At this banquet, Ye Futian announced that in the future of the Nine States, the Nine State Forum that would be held every three years would not only allow people below the Sage Plane to participate, but also sages.
Moreover, when the time came, the forces of the Upper Worlds would come down and select the best among them to go to the Upper Worlds to cultivate. Princess Xia Qingyuan personally nodded and approved of this matter.
The Nine States were shocked.
Of course, there was something even more shocking.
Ye Futian announced that he would step down as Palace Lord of the Barren State's Holy Zhi Palace and pass the position to the new Palace Lord, the Saint Douzhan.
This turbulent era had come to an end!
