At the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace, the strong cultivators who walked out of the nine Holy Roads waited.
They all knew that the Holy Road was only the first step of selection. It was too early to become a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace just because they walked out of the Holy Road.
They walked out of the Holy Road and came here to obtain the right to enter the Holy Zhi Palace. That was all.
Everything that followed would be even crueler. The geniuses of the nine Holy Roads gathered. How grand would it be?
Mighty ones could be seen standing on both sides of the Holy Zhi Palace's sky stairwell. The sky stairwell was too high, so even though there were many mighty ones on it, they still seemed very scattered. Many of them appeared alone in one direction. Some were like Bai Luli who was playing the guqin, some were like Zhuge Canyang and Zhuge Mingyue who were watching quietly, and some were sitting and sipping tea.
Today, many important figures of the Holy Zhi Palace had come because it was related to their selection of disciples.
The entrance examination of the Holy Zhi Palace was different from many other forces. It was directly selected by the elders of the Holy Zhi Palace. It was not a unified selection. Only those who were favored by the Sage Plane were qualified to enter the Thousand Holy Islands of the Holy Zhi Palace. As for becoming a disciple of the core island, only those who were favored by the extraordinary Sage Plane could do so.
Because of this, although the Holy Zhi Palace selected disciples once every three years and all the geniuses of the Barren State gathered here, the number of disciples the Holy Zhi Palace accepted was still not many. The important figures of the Holy Zhi Palace had very high standards. They had seen many so-called geniuses. It was not easy to enter the Thousand Holy Islands to cultivate, let alone become an inner island disciple.
Of course, before the important figures chose, there were still too many people coming out of the nine Holy Roads. They had to filter out more than half.
Therefore, an elder on the sky stairwell said, "Everyone who walked out of the nine Holy Roads, move forward. The Holy Zhi Palace recruits disciples once every three years. The elders of the Holy Zhi Palace will personally choose the main disciples. However, before that, most of you will be eliminated early."
Everyone nodded. It was no surprise. Many people had already asked about the Holy Zhi Palace's disciple selection rules.
There were tens of thousands of cultivators in the nine Holy Roads. How would the important figures of the Holy Zhi Palace choose?
Obviously, a large-scale elimination was needed.
In the nine directions, everyone stepped forward and came to the vast area in the middle of the Nine Symbols.
At that moment, the nine words that symbolized the nine Holy Roads suddenly released an extremely dazzling light, turning into a screen of light. Then, the entire space lit up with a formless illusory light, causing the space to turn into a huge battlefield. It spanned tens of thousands of meters, and ordinary people would not be able to see the end of it with a single glance.
However, the people here were all cultivators with extremely high levels of cultivation. Their vision was naturally not a problem. A distance of tens of thousands of meters was a place that they could easily cross.
At that moment, the surrounding nine words seemed to have transformed into nine doors, and a powerful cultivator appeared in front of each door, guarding it.
No matter how you did it before, the Holy Zhi Palace will not question you. But now, in this battlefield, there will be only three thousand people left. You can use all kinds of methods to fight, and there are no restrictions. Those who admit defeat can raise the holy token in their hands, and no one is allowed to attack again. Leave from the nine positions. That is the exit. After you leave, return the holy token to the people of the Holy Zhi Palace. "
The cultivator on the sky stairwell continued to speak. Everyone's hearts trembled.
The selection this time was a huge battle royale.
There were tens of thousands of geniuses in the nine Holy Roads, but in this central battlefield, there were only three thousand left.
The remaining three thousand people would be the true geniuses from all over the Barren State. On average, there were only about three hundred people on each Holy Road.
One had to know that each Holy Road represented countless geniuses from all over the Barren State. Three hundred people was just the number of young cultivators from one of the sects and clans.
"Let me remind everyone, it's best to be prepared now. Otherwise, when I shout 'start', you might not even know how you died," the cultivator on the sky stairwell said. Said the cultivator on the sky stairwell. Suddenly, everyone revealed a look of vigilance. Many people who were walking together scattered to avoid giving the other party a chance to launch a sneak attack.
Although this battlefield was very big, with so many cultivators gathered here, it still seemed a little small. Therefore, once a battle broke out here, it would be extremely cruel.
Many people did not even care about choosing their opponents because there were people everywhere. Once a battle broke out, it would be a big battle royale. Everyone around could attack at any time. There was no chance to choose an opponent, unless it was a powerful figure who could sweep through all directions and kill their own target.
At the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace, at the edge of the huge island city, both inside and outside the battlefield, it was frighteningly quiet.
Everyone focused their attention on the battlefield.
The most dazzling figures in the nine Holy Roads naturally received the most attention. Ye Futian also attracted a lot of attention. Many people were concerned about him.
Zhuge Mingyue had high hopes for him. Back then, Gu Dongliu had personally gone to the Cangye Kingdom to invite Ye Futian into the College. He had not experienced any tests or battles. Now that he had entered the Holy Zhi Palace, there was such a big scene. She did not know if Ye Futian's plane could withstand it.
Although she was very confident in Ye Futian's talent, Zhuge Mingyue was still worried. After all, Ye Futian's plane was on the low side. She knew what plane Ye Futian was at when she left the Cottage two years ago.
On the battlefield, Ye Futian was definitely considered to be very young. If he had waited another three years, perhaps Ye Futian would have been invincible, but by then, his plane might have already surpassed the lower Noble Plane and he would not be able to participate in the Holy Zhi Palace's entrance examination.
Chen Yuan also looked at where Ye Futian was standing. In the huge battlefield, Ye Futian seemed exceptionally small. This peerless genius who could dominate an entire generation in Divine Sky City was now on the stage of the entire Barren State. What kind of brilliance would he have?
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace. He knew that many important people would be here today, including some terrifying existences on the Barren Sky Ranking.
Who would choose Ye Futian?
In another direction, the golden ape from Taihang Mountain also looked in Ye Futian's direction. Yuan Zhan had told him some things just now that had shocked him.
At that moment, in the battlefield, Ye Futian said to the people around him, "Follow me."
"I don't plan to continue fighting. This place does not belong to me," Li Qingyi said with a smile. She was already satisfied to be here.
"I'm afraid I can't participate in this kind of battle either. I'll only be a burden to you. I'll go out," Gu Yunxi said with a smile. Long Mu and the others also sighed. If it was said that people in the Middle Arcana Plane on the Holy Road might have some opportunities, but here, there was no chance at all.
"Alright, it's no big deal to give up in this kind of situation," Ye Futian said with a nod. Then, Gu Yunxi, Li Qingyi, and many others held their holy badges and walked towards the exit. When the battle began, they would go out to watch the battle.
They were not the only ones. At that moment, many people made the same choice.
In the past, many disciples of major forces had followed their fellow clansmen into the Holy Road and were protected all the way. But now, this method naturally did not work.
If it was not their own ability, there was no point in staying.
"Let's begin," the elder on the sky stairwell announced. The elder on the sky stairwell announced. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire battlefield erupted with an incomparably terrifying aura, and the spiritual energy instantly went berserk.
Many people walked towards the exit. Those were those who had given up voluntarily.
There were also a few who leapt into the air. These people were the top geniuses, and only those top geniuses dared to do so. In such a crowded battlefield, it was easy to become the target of the people below when leaping into the air. It was like a target for all. Those who were not confident enough would not dare to be so arrogant.
Ye Futian's gaze swept across the vast battlefield. His vision was drowned by the sea of people, and he could not see where Hua Jieyu was.
No one around attacked Ye Futian's group. After all, they were still where the experts of the Dawn Road gathered, and in the Dawn Road, who did not know Ye Futian?
Even Yan Jiu and the others did not act rashly.
Holding the Polearm of Divine Destruction in his hand, Ye Futian leapt into the air and looked around. In the air, there were a few people like him, all of them exuding great confidence.
In the distance, in the direction of the Separation Road, a cold gaze shot towards Ye Futian, filled with murderous intent.
There was a group of experts bathed in terrifying flames. The flames on one of them seemed to be filled with darkness, and it was extremely frightening.
That was where the experts of the Sacred Fire Sect were, and Du Ao was among them.
Back then, Du Ao had once led a group of experts of the Sacred Fire Sect into the Eastern Barren Territory and forced Ye Futian to climb Sky Mountain with them. Du Ao had almost died at the hands of Ye Futian's Demon Bird.
He had always remembered this grudge. Now, at the foot of the Barren State's Holy Zhi Palace, he met Ye Futian once again.
"Yuan Zhan, Zhiqiu, how much do you know about the Sacred Fire Sect of the Separation Road?" Ye Futian asked.
"Not really." Yuan Zhan and Mu Zhiqiu shook their heads.
"What will happen if I kill a disciple of the Sacred Fire Sect?" Ye Futian asked.
"In this chaotic battle, life and death are extremely common. If you kill a disciple of the Sacred Fire Sect, the Sacred Fire Sect might just think that their disciple is inferior and not pursue the matter. However, it is also possible that the person you kill has a close relationship with the elders of the Sacred Fire Sect, and they might bear a grudge against you. Of course, if you are valued by the important figures of the Holy Zhi Palace and enter the palace to cultivate, nothing will happen. "
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded. Seeing Du Ao walking towards him, his body flashed and he descended. He even glanced in Du Ao's direction, as if purposely avoiding him.
Du Ao's murderous intent was raging. Someone attacked him, but he was bathed in terrifying dark flames, shooting down and enveloping his opponent's body. His opponent did not even have the chance to surrender.
"Trying to escape?" Du Ao glanced coldly at Ye Futian below the crowd. Ye Futian and Zhuge Mingyue were senior and junior. Even if he could not kill him, he had to cripple him.
At the same time, a cold murderous intent flashed in Ye Futian's eyes. Back in the Eastern Barren Territory, it was Du Ao who ordered the destruction of the Donghua Clan. Although the Donghua Clan Leader and his wife agreed to disband the clan, they were still killed by Du Ao. He even chased them all the way to the College and killed Madam Hua in front of the people of the College.
The cause of all this was because Du Ao wanted Hua Qingqing. On Sky Mountain, he almost humiliated Hua Qingqing and was saved by Ye Futian's Demon Bird.
Because of this, Hua Qingqing, a pure and flawless girl, was forced to become a nun.
