Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Thousand Holy Islands, the Hanging Mountain Range in the center was the most majestic. It stood above the sea and reached into the sky. Outside the mountain were palaces and pavilions. It was like an otherworldly palace, comparable to a city. There were countless relics and cultivation paradises. It was a true holy land passed down by generations of cultivators of the Holy Zhi Palace.
It was a true holy land. There were thousands of mountains in the Holy River area. They all belonged to the Holy Zhi Palace, but people liked to call the only sacred mountain the Holy Zhi Palace. Only true core disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace could cultivate on the Holy Island. Ordinary disciples couldn't enter without permission. They could only cultivate with an elder on one of the islands. Other than that, they could occasionally enter the Holy Island to listen to the elders of the Holy Zhi Palace or enter the relics to cultivate.
Therefore, the disciples who could cultivate on the Holy Island were all geniuses. They were all geniuses of the Barren State.
To the east of the Holy Zhi Palace, which was as majestic as the Heavenly Palace, there was a smaller island adjacent to the Holy Zhi Palace. At the edge of the island was a huge empty space, right at the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace. Looking up, one could see a staircase. The staircase led all the way up to the Holy Zhi Palace, as if it was a staircase leading to the Heavenly Palace.
This place could truly be called the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace.
At that moment, a large number of figures gathered in this area. There seemed to be no end to them. They were all disciples from the Thousand Holy Islands and their families living there. Apart from that, many important figures from the Barren State had also arrived from various top forces. They knew that this was the end of the Holy Road. The people who had made it out of the nine Holy Roads would finally gather here. The time was today. Many elders who had high hopes for the younger generation had come to watch.
Of course, there were also some people who had good relationships with the Holy Zhi Palace who came to watch.
Today's grand occasion happened once every three years. The geniuses of the Barren State gathered. For the younger generation of the Barren State, it was truly a grand occasion. Even for the important people, some of the younger generation might become important figures in the Barren State in the future. They might even enter the Barren Sky Ranking.
At this moment, the sound of a zither filled the air. Someone was playing the zither. The sound of the zither caused everyone to be intoxicated. Even many great characters were deeply affected by the artistic conception of the zither.
They looked in one direction and saw a smooth boulder next to the stairs leading to the Holy Zhi Palace. A young man in a purple robe sat quietly on the boulder. His fingers strummed the strings of the guqin, and it was like the sound of nature. It changed from tranquility to grandeur, as if it was depicting a legendary epic.
This young man's body was untainted by even a speck of dust. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was suave and handsome, like a banished immortal.
In the vast area at the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace, countless people raised their heads to look at the young man. Many of the younger generation had endless respect and admiration in their eyes. Even the geniuses were the same, hoping that they could one day become an existence like that. Many beautiful women had looks of admiration on their faces. It was no exaggeration to say that the young man on the mountain was probably the one most admired by the young women in the Barren State.
Even the Holy Zhi Palace cultivators sitting on both sides of the mountain path looked at the young man with undisguised admiration. Everyone in the Barren State knew that this young man would become one of the most brilliant figures in the Barren State in the future. In fact, he was already one now.
In the distance, cultivators from the various island cities came through the air. Immediately, many people looked up at them. They were the cultivators who had walked out of the nine Holy Roads. Now, they were all gathering here.
The people below looked at the arriving cultivators with anticipation. Were they finally here?
"Look in that direction. The geniuses from the Qian Road have arrived." Everyone looked in one direction and saw many silhouettes walking over. Among them, there was a very young and elegant man. His eyes were like lightning, shining like the stars.
"That's Bai Ze." Many people looked at the elegant man. Bai Ze, a peerless genius from the White Cloud City. He had stepped into the Holy Road when he had just entered the Noble Plane. It was said that he had opened up many great relics on the Qian Road and was unstoppable. Now, he was already at the pinnacle of the Grade Eight Noble Plane. It was very likely that he was one of the strongest people on the Holy Road.
"The people from the Nether Road have also arrived." Someone looked in another direction and saw people walking over.
"Look over there." Someone pointed in a direction and a group of cultivators walked over. Every one of them had an extraordinary aura, especially two of them.
"Zhuge Xing, Hua Jieyu."
Many people whispered, recognizing the two figures. They were Zhuge Xing, the genius of the younger generation of the Zhuge Family, and Zhuge Mingyue's sister, Hua Jieyu.
"Just as the rumors say, beautiful women." More people looked at Hua Jieyu. The moment she appeared, it was as if the vast space was filled with color. She was bright and moving, pleasing to the eye. Just looking at her face was a kind of enjoyment.
"You're here." Zhuge Mingyue appeared beside Hua Jieyu and said with a smile. Behind her was a beautiful and pure girl. It was said that she was Zhuge Mingyue's junior sister, Beitang Xing 'er. She often accompanied Zhuge Mingyue.
"Yes." Hua Jieyu nodded lightly.
"A feast for the eyes." Many people praised when they saw Zhuge Mingyue and Hua Jieyu standing together.
"Chi Meng of the Demon Gods." At that moment, some people's eyes fell on a young man not far behind Hua Jieyu and the others. He had an extremely wild body, and there was a blood-colored line between his eyebrows. It looked extremely demonic. That was the mark of the Demon Gods.
"The Barren Road has also arrived."
Many people looked in one direction again. The mighty cultivators arrived one after another, appearing in nine different directions. It was a sea of people, and there were many outstanding cultivators among them.
Some of the people from the major forces smiled faintly when they saw the young cultivators.
At that moment, Chen Yuan appeared in one of the directions. There was an elder beside Chen Yuan, who was the chief of the Zhaixing House. There was a young man beside him, Mu Zhifan.
"Chen Yuan, you seem to be the only chief of the Top Three Schools here. Why are you so enthusiastic? Are you waiting for Ye Futian? Although his talent is not bad, you want him to attempt the Holy Road with his cultivation level? " The chief of the Zhaixing House said sarcastically to Chen Yuan beside him. The two of them were old enemies. The chief of the Zhaixing House had been brooding over the fact that Chen Yuan had taken the Polearm of Divine Destruction away with Ye Futian.
"You don't have to worry about that," Chen Yuan replied coldly.
"Zhiqiu is also on the Dawn Road. You better pray that the brat doesn't meet her. Otherwise, the Polearm of Divine Destruction will return to the Zhaixing House," the chief of the Zhaixing House said with a smile. He seemed exceptionally confident. When Mu Zhiqiu entered the Holy Road, she had already broken through to the Noble Plane. He had nothing better to do, so he had personally come to the Holy Zhi Palace to take a look. After all, Mu Zhifan was also cultivating in the Holy Zhi Palace.
Chen Yuan's eyes fell on the chief of the Zhaixing House, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"What are you smiling at?" the chief of the Zhaixing House asked when he saw Chen Yuan's strange expression.
"I advise you not to pray for them to meet. Your granddaughter is not bad. I heard that the Son of the Starry School is not only talented in cultivation," Chen Yuan said with a smile.
The chief of the Zhaixing House's expression changed slightly. He smirked and said, "Stop dreaming. The disciple that you've chosen is not good enough. Zhiqiu will soon become a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace like Zhifan."
"There are many cultivators on the Thousand Holy Islands. They are just disciples on one island. I really don't know what you are so proud of," Chen Yuan said sarcastically.
"How many people from the Starry School have entered the Holy Zhi Palace?" the chief of the Zhaixing House said coldly. The two of them did not give in to each other.
The two old men were at loggerheads, causing many to look at them. Those who were able to come here were all people of extraordinary status. Sage Plane cultivators were not people who could come as they pleased, but these two old men were actually quarreling.
At that moment, people started coming from afar. Chen Yuan and the chief of the Zhaixing House stopped arguing and looked at the incoming crowd.
The people from the Dawn Road had finally arrived, and they attracted many people's attention.
At that moment, a huge body was seen walking in their direction. It was a Golden Great Ape. Even Chen Yuan and the chief of the Zhaixing House took a good look at the Golden Great Ape. They knew that this was the Golden Great Ape Clan, the royal clan of Taihang Mountain, which was located at the edge of the Zhongzhou State. They ruled over Taihang Mountain and were a terrifying force to be reckoned with. The Mountain Master of Taihang Mountain was one of the top ones on the Barren Sky Ranking.
In the distance, there was a stone wall on the stairs of the Holy Zhi Palace. An elder with an extraordinary aura stood there. His expression was extremely sharp as he looked into the distance. It was the direction of the Dawn Road. In front of him, a group of cultivators had arrived. They were also looking in that direction, and their eyes were filled with pain.
"Elder Ning, Ning Huang was killed. They must have used despicable methods. Otherwise, how could it have happened with Ning Huang's strength? We must avenge him," the person in front of him said softly.
The elder glanced at them coldly and said sternly, "This is the Holy Zhi Palace. You better behave yourselves. Otherwise, no one will be able to protect you."
"Then let's walk out of the Holy Zhi Palace. But Elder Ning, the person who killed Ning Huang cannot become a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace." These people were from the Ning family. They had been waiting here for a long time, filled with anticipation. However, what awaited them was Ning Huang's death.
"Hmph." Elder Ning snorted coldly and glanced at the person in front of him coldly. The only person in the Ning family who had a chance to inherit his legacy had actually been killed. He was extremely displeased.
"From what I know, the person who killed Ning Huang is from the Eastern Barren Territory and has a close relationship with Zhuge Mingyue of the Zhuge family. Think about it yourselves, "Elder Ning said calmly. He glanced in the direction of the Zhuge family, and then at the figure who was still playing the guqin.
At that moment, where Zhuge Mingyue was, Hua Jieyu's beautiful eyes kept looking in one direction. That was where the cultivators from the Dawn Road had appeared. Zhuge Mingyue smiled at her. She naturally knew what Hua Jieyu was expecting. Would that guy really be on the Dawn Road?
At that moment, in the direction of the Dawn Road, there was a group of figures walking in the air in a leisurely manner. The moment she saw the handsome figure in the middle, Zhuge Mingyue smiled brightly and said, "He really came."
Hua Jieyu's beautiful eyes looked in that direction, and then she also saw the figure that she had yearned for day and night. An extremely stunning smile bloomed on her face, causing many who were looking at her to stare at her in a daze. It was as if her smile was the only thing in the world.
"Huh?" Zhuge Mingyue laughed softly, and then a strange expression appeared in her beautiful eyes. She said, "As expected, he's still the same."
There were still many beauties around him.
"He really knows how to enjoy himself. As expected of little brother." Zhuge Mingyue giggled. Only then did Hua Jieyu notice Ye Futian's side. She recognized Loulan Xue behind him. However, other than Loulan Xue, there was also Qin Yin and Li Qingyi behind them. The two girls had extraordinary looks, but they were not top-notch beauties.
However, beside Ye Futian, Gu Yunxi was extremely beautiful. She had the reputation of being able to topple cities with just a glance.
Mu Zhiqiu was even more beautiful. She was like a goddess from the mortal world, standing there quietly.
