The Holy Zhi Palace's disciple selection was a triennial event in the Barren State.
There were so many geniuses from the nine Holy Roads. They were all famous geniuses and they were all gathered here.
Round after round of selections, the strongest group of people made it to the end.
In the end, Ye Futian of the Dawn Road was first.
Even now, many people did not know Ye Futian's background. Some said he was from the Eastern Barren Territory. He had defeated all the famous figures in the Barren State, suppressed and humiliated Bai Ze, and defeated Huang Jiuge with a shocking strike. After this battle, everyone in the Barren State knew of Ye Futian.
Hua Jieyu's bright eyes looked at the figure on the battlefield. She seemed to have returned to when she was 15 years old, the Fall Quarter Examinations of Qingzhou Academy. He had shown his talent for the first time and gotten first place in the written exam. Back then, he had been frivolous and unrestrained. He was as pure as a flawless jade and had endless fantasies about the future.
Now, they were all adults and had experienced the vicissitudes of life. What did not change was that no matter where he went, he would still be the center of attention.
Bai Ze, Yan Jiu, Bing Yi and Chu Shang of the Mortal World, Nan Hao and Nan Feng of the Nantian House, and many others all had complicated feelings. Who would have thought that he would make it to the end and stand at the top?
Gu Yunxi smiled brightly. She had not improved much on the Holy Road, but she was very satisfied. She would probably never forget this experience.
It was a pity that it would be difficult to hear Ye Futian play the guqin again. He would probably never return to the Celestial Pavilion.
"Old man, did you see that?" Chen Yuan said to Mu Chuan. "Did I ever lie to you?"
Mu Chuan did not refute. Instead, he said, "Are you really willing to let someone like this go to the Holy Zhi Palace?"
"The Roc will eventually soar above the Nine Heavens. Do you think I want that?" Chen Yuan said. "But no matter what, he is the one I chose, the Son of the Starry School."
The tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind. Being too outstanding would easily attract attention. The Blazing Sun School had acted to capture Ye Futian.
In the Barren State, the Holy Zhi Palace was the best place for Ye Futian to cultivate.
The Holy Zhi Palace was full of geniuses, and the disciples were all top-notch geniuses of the Barren State. In the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian would compete with the top figures, just like the battle of the Holy Zhi Palace.
The disciples who had entered the Holy Zhi Palace three or six years ago would be the motivation for Ye Futian to move forward. It was rumored that the competition between the disciples in the Holy Zhi Palace was very fierce.
Next, it was time for the important figures of the Holy Zhi Palace to choose their disciples.
Countless people stared in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace. Who would the top ten geniuses cultivate under?
"Phoenix, Zhuge Xing, Hua Jieyu, if you are willing, you can join my sect to cultivate." Sage Daozang extended an invitation. Phoenix had previously said that she wanted to train under him. The Sage of the Holy Zhi Palace was knowledgeable and was the Palace Lord of the Daozang Pavilion. Many people were willing to become his disciples.
"Xu Que, if you're willing, you can become my disciple." The Sword Demon extended an invitation to Xu Que. Previously, Xu Que had said that he was willing to follow him in his path of swordsmanship.
"Xu Que, Desolation, you two may enter my Tianxing Palace to cultivate." Another cultivator said. It was Sage Tianxing, the Lord of Tianxing Palace, one of the six Palace Lords. He controlled all rules and punishments in the Holy Zhi Palace.
"Bai Ze, Zhuge Xing, Hua Jieyu, are you three willing to enter the Holy Sage Pavilion to cultivate?" At that moment, an elder of the Holy Sage Pavilion asked. Although it was not the Assistant Palace Lord who had personally invited them, his words represented the will of the Holy Sage Pavilion.
The Holy Sage Pavilion had invited Bai Ze, Zhuge Xing, and Hua Jieyu, but they did not invite Ye Futian, who had defeated Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing. He was the first in the battle of the Holy Zhi Palace.
The Holy Sage Pavilion was the number one palace in the Holy Zhi Palace.
Huang Jiuge was not invited because he had already said that he would not enter the Holy Zhi Palace. Xiao Junyi was not invited because he was the disciple of the Dark Sage. The Dark Sage had a bad reputation in the Barren State, so the Holy Zhi Palace naturally would not accept Xiao Junyi, who also cultivated in the power of darkness.
But what about Ye Futian?
There was also Yu Sheng and Yuan Zhan. They had not been invited yet.
This caused many people to have strange expressions. There were even many people in the crowd whispering. It was the Holy Sage Pavilion, after all. Their invitation could not help but make people's imaginations run wild.
Could it be because of the battle between Ye Futian and Bai Ze?
In that battle, everyone saw that Ye Futian and Bai Ze could not coexist. The Holy Sage Pavilion chose Bai Ze over Ye Futian, and this might have been because of Bai Luli.
As for the Holy Sage Pavilion even inviting Zhuge Xing and Hua Jieyu, everyone knew that it was not necessarily because of Ye Futian, because the head of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Qingfeng, was also a disciple of the Holy Sage Pavilion. Zhuge Xing and Hua Jieyu were both from the Zhuge family, so it was normal for the Holy Sage Pavilion to invite them.
Even the other people from the Holy Zhi Palace looked surprised. They had not invited Ye Futian before, not because they looked down on him. It was an unspoken rule that the champion of the Holy Zhi Palace battle would enter the Holy Sage Pavilion, and they would not fight for it.
But the Holy Sage Pavilion did not want him?
Ye Futian also felt the strange atmosphere. The Holy Sage Pavilion chose Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing, who had conflicts with him.
Now, other than Huang Jiuge and Xiao Junyi, there were also him, Yu Sheng, and Yuan Zhan who were not invited.
All of them were together.
"How many more are there? Why are you all so polite?" the cultivator from the Holy Sage Pavilion said with a smile. The others came to their senses and realized that they were being allowed to choose.
It was obvious that the Holy Sage Pavilion did not choose Ye Futian's group not because they did not approve of them, but because they chose Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing, letting them choose Ye Futian.
"If you are willing, you can all enter the Daozang Palace to cultivate," Sage Daozang said with a smile. He did not hold back. The Daozang Palace was willing to accept the top ten, but he only chose a few. It was not because he looked down on the others, but because he had to weigh the pros and cons.
"The same goes for the Tianxing Pavilion," the Tianxing Pavilion Lord said. Since the Holy Sage Pavilion was giving them the chance, they would not hold back.
Elder Ning had a strange look on his face. He was the elder of the Tianxing Pavilion.
"The Battle Sage Palace wants them," Sage Jingang said. Everyone's eyes flashed as they looked at Sage Jingang.
The Battle Sage Palace was the only place other than the Holy Sage Pavilion that had two cultivators ranked on the Barren Sky Ranking.
"If the Battle Sage Palace wants them, why can't we fight for them?" Sage Daozang smiled faintly. "Is Sage Jingang also interested in accepting disciples?"
"Not me," Sage Jingang said. "Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, if you are willing, you can cultivate under the Palace Lord. Yuan Zhan and Yi Xiaoshi can also enter the Battle Sage Palace."
"Sage Douzhan wants to accept disciples?" Sage Daozang's eyes flashed. Sage Douzhan had been in seclusion for many years, and he did not know how his cultivation was now. He had not accepted disciples for a long time, and now he was interested in Ye Futian and Yu Sheng.
"Yes," Sage Jingang said.
Countless people looked in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace, shocked.
Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and the others seemed to be suitable to be Sage Douzhan's disciples. Their explosive power was extremely strong, and Sage Douzhan was the number one cultivator in the Barren State in terms of body refinement. His martial arts were unparalleled, and he was ranked seventh on the Barren Sky Ranking.
Before him, there were only six super existences.
Huang Jiuge looked up into the void, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He remembered his father once said that among the people ranked on the Barren Sky Ranking, Sage Douzhan was definitely someone he did not want to fight. He was someone who could fight to the death, and fighting him was too scary.
His father was ranked fifth on the Barren Sky Ranking, and one could imagine how terrifying Sage Douzhan's combat ability was.
Ye Futian looked in the direction of Zhuge Mingyue, and heard Zhuge Mingyue say telepathically, "Choose the Battle Sage Palace."
She had previously told Ye Futian to be prepared not to enter the Holy Zhi Palace, and at that time, she did not consider the Battle Sage Palace. But now, since Sage Douzhan was willing to take Ye Futian and Yu Sheng as disciples, of course, he would choose.
In the Holy Zhi Palace, the Palace Lord had not cared about external affairs for many years, and the Second Palace Lord was the strongest, followed by Sage Douzhan. But if one were to say who was most suitable for Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, it was definitely Sage Douzhan. The Second Palace Lord probably had no mood to teach the younger generation.
Ye Futian's eyes flashed. He was also very clear that entering the Holy Zhi Palace was his best choice at the moment.
Looking at Sage Jingang, Ye Futian said, "Senior, we have both been disciples before."
"It's fine." From the depths of the Holy Zhi Palace, a voice came through the air. The voice was deep and powerful, and it said, "Pass on my mantle, and you are my disciple. Your master is in your heart."
"It's Sage Douzhan." Many people looked solemn, for he was in the top ten of the Barren Sky Ranking.
"Senior, can I enter the Battle Sage Palace to cultivate?" At that moment, a crisp voice was heard. Many looked to the edge of the battlefield and saw a beautiful figure standing there, looking in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace. It was Hua Jieyu.
"The Battle Sage Palace is not suitable for you." Sage Douzhan said, "Don't hold yourself back."
"Jieyu, the elder is right." The Battle Sage Palace was probably a place that was good at fighting. That was why they had chosen him and Yu Sheng.
Hua Jieyu glanced at Ye Futian, a little unwilling.
"Alright, start choosing," the elder on the sky stairwell said.
"I'm willing to join the Daozang Palace," Phoenix bowed to Sage Daozang.
"I am willing to enter Heavenly Punishment Palace." Huang made his choice.
"I'm willing to join the Sword Palace." Xu Que naturally chose the Sword Devil.
"I'm willing to join the Saint Palace." Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing had made their choice. Naturally, they would choose the Saint Palace.
"I'm willing to join the Daozang Palace." Hua Jieyu said, causing many to look surprised. The Saint Palace had also invited Hua Jieyu, but she chose the Daozang Palace.
Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing glanced at her, but Sage Daozang smiled.
Ye Futian looked at Yuan Zhan and Yi Xiaoshi and communicated telepathically, then said, "We're willing to join the Battle Sage Palace to cultivate."
Everyone chose their own place to cultivate. The triennial disciple selection of the Holy Zhi Palace had officially come to an end.
The Holy Zhi Palace had chosen hundreds of disciples from the Thousand Holy Islands, but the five palaces of the Core Island, excluding the Wanxiang Palace, had chosen less than a hundred. There were even fewer who became disciples of the Palace Lords.
Ye Futian's group was probably the one who had gained the most from this trip. Everyone had their eyes on them, and after a battle, they were known by everyone. Now, they had become the disciple of Sage Douzhan, who was ranked seventh on the Barren Sky Ranking. They had truly soared to the sky.
