In the spring of the 10,009th year of the Divine Prefecture Calendar, after three years, the vast Barren State was once again in an uproar.
The triennial examination of the Holy Zhi Palace had arrived. The younger generation of the Barren State all set foot on the nine Holy Roads to enter the Holy Zhi Palace.
Just like three years ago, countless geniuses from the nine Holy Roads had gathered on the Holy Roads. At the foot of the Holy Zhi Palace, experts from all over had gathered, ready to watch the final battle. Many figures from major forces had also arrived. This time, there were still people from their sects.
Within the Holy Zhi Palace, the disciples were still busy cultivating. At this time, many people had gathered in front of the Law Rank, looking at the ranking on the stone wall.
Compared to three years ago, the Law Rank had changed dramatically. Two years ago, after the sparring session, Hua Fan had entered the Sage Hall to cultivate. When he came out, he had already entered the Sage Plane. After that, Dou Kun and the third on the Law Rank had also entered the Sage Plane.
But even so, the fourth and fifth on the Law Rank had not directly replaced them. Instead, the people behind them had caught up and directly entered the top three of the Law Rank.
The group of people from six years ago had already grown to the pinnacle of the Noble Plane, surpassing many disciples from nine years ago who had not yet entered the Sage Plane.
The Sage Plane was a threshold that was not so easy to cross. Therefore, disciples from two generations of this plane would often clash on the Law Rank. It had been like this for generations.
Even the disciples who had entered the Holy Zhi Palace three years ago had many names on the Law Rank, and many of them had extremely prominent positions.
The tenth place on the Law Rank was especially eye-catching. It was not a very high position, but he had not moved it for two years.
Two years ago, Ye Futian had become famous on the sparring stage at the end of the year. At that time, he had reached the tenth place as a Grade Eight Noble. Since then, his name had never moved forward, nor had it been replaced. It was as if his position was fixed. Those who came after him would directly jump over the tenth place, and it would be the same even if they fell.
Once, someone from the eleventh place on the Law Rank had replaced the ninth place. The ninth place should have fallen to the tenth place, but Ye Futian was still there. The ninth place had fallen to the eleventh, which was very strange.
However, the people of the Holy Zhi Palace felt that it was normal, because in the past two years, Ye Futian had not participated in a single battle. He had also been absent from the two sparring sessions. Under such circumstances, even if they wanted to move him up from the Law Rank, where would he be moved to?
As a result, a strange scene occurred on the Law Rank. His position remained unchanged for more than two years.
"This guy, what realm is he in now?" Someone looked at the name and asked in a low voice. The people next to him naturally knew who he was referring to. In fact, many people were curious.
"I thought he would have participated in the sparring session a few months ago. I didn't expect him to still ignore it. What a character. But while he didn't participate in the sparring sessions or any battles, his reputation in the Holy Zhi Palace has been rising," someone beside him said.
"He's someone who has continuously broken through the ruins of many sages and has helped many disciples who entered the Holy Zhi Palace with their cultivation. How can he not have a reputation? His comprehension is extraordinary, and we've already seen it in the sparring session two years ago. Now, whether it's sorcery, martial arts, or guqin, he has probably achieved more in all of them. Many geniuses from the batch three years ago were actually willing to go to the Battle Sage Palace to ask him for cultivation."
Many people in front of the Law Rank stone were discussing. Ye Futian, who was different, was now a legendary figure among the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace. His style of doing things was different, but his talent was extraordinary.
Many people guessed that if Ye Futian fought once, he might even be able to directly enter the top three from the Law Rank from the tenth place.
In more than two years, with his current strength and the potential of being first on the Law Rank, it was absolutely possible for him to enter the top three.
At that moment, in the area of the Sky Reaching Tower, there was a burst of exclamations, both inside and outside of the Sky Reaching Tower.
"The 18th level, this monster," someone said with some envy and jealousy.
Just now, someone had stepped into the 18th level of the Sky Reaching Tower.
"Who stepped into the 18th level?" someone outside asked.
"Who else could it be? Yu Sheng," someone said as they walked out of the Sky Reaching Tower. Many people walked out of the Skysplit Tower. Their figures flickered as they headed towards the Skysplit Tower. They saw the tall and sturdy figure on the 18th floor.
Many people's hearts twitched. Yu Sheng seemed to be only a Grade Four Noble. Even at the peak of this level, he was still a step away from becoming an upper-level Noble. However, the 18th level of the Sky Reaching Tower was generally only Grade One Nobles could step into it. Even those with strong physical bodies might have to be Grade Two Nobles.
Yu Sheng was only a Grade Four Noble. What kind of physical body did he have to step into the 18th level?
A monster.
In the batch three years ago, there was already Ye Futian, who was different, and now there was Yu Sheng, who was a monster.
Many people wondered if these two would fight for the first place of the Law Rank in the future.
Who would sit there?
However, everyone also understood that these two fellows did not seem to have any interest in the rankings of the Law Rank. Otherwise, they would not have not fought in the past two years and only focused on improving their strength, not even participating in the sparring sessions.
Many people wondered what the Holy Sage Pavilion would think if the disciples of the Battle Sage Palace took the first and second places of the Law Rank in the future.
As the first palace of the Holy Zhi Palace, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? For generations, it had always been the disciples of the Holy Sage Pavilion who sat firmly in the first place of the Law Rank. The current number one was also one of them.
The Holy Sage Pavilion, the first palace of the Holy Zhi Palace, was located in the north and stood tall.
At this time, a figure walked out of an ancient hall in the Holy Sage Pavilion. This figure did not have any aura, but just by standing there, he gave people a sense of majesty. He looked up at the sky, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the void.
"Assistant Palace Lord." Beside him, an elder of the Holy Sage Pavilion bowed and called out. The figure who walked out was the second person of the Holy Zhi Palace and third on the Barren Sky Ranking.
"Another batch of assessment day, right?" the Assistant Palace Lord said in a low voice.
"Yes." The person nodded.
"Are there any good seedlings in this batch?"
"There are a few. Their talents are not bad, but they might not be as strong as the last batch," the person replied. "In the last batch, Bai Ze's talent was already very good, but he was defeated by two people and his state of mind was damaged. I'm afraid he still hasn't fully recovered."
"Cultivation depends on the individual, and no one can help him in his state of mind. If he can't get over it, he is destined to be ordinary," the Assistant Palace Lord said softly. "What about the two from the Battle Sage Palace? How are their cultivation levels now?"
"They are at the peak of Grade Four Noble Plane. Their combat ability is unknown, but from their performance, they will be very strong. They are both rare geniuses. Maybe in the future, they can be of help to Lu Li. It's just that one of their brothers in the Eastern Barren Territory seems to have some conflict with Lu Li."
"Lu Li can ignore the grudge between him and Bai Ze when it comes to cultivation, but I hope he can see through the matters between his brothers and sisters." The Assistant Palace Lord said, "The Battle Sage Palace will train them well. In the future, when they reach the peak of the Noble Plane, we will gather all the Palace Lords for a talk and approve them to enter the Sage Hall to cultivate."
The people beside him nodded. Many disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace thought that the Holy Sage Pavilion would have some ideas because of Ye Futian's outstanding performance, and they had underestimated the tolerance of the elders of the Holy Sage Pavilion.
What they were thinking about was not the internal conflicts of the six palaces.
The competition between disciples was a way to stimulate them, and the six palaces would not interfere.
"Time is running out. It is time to put the marriage between Lu Li and Zhuge Mingyue on the agenda," the Assistant Palace Lord said softly.
The Barren State must have a saint.
In the past, many top figures had failed, including their brothers. Bai Luli would be the new hope.
…
At the Battle Sage Palace, beside the golden cliff, a few figures appeared there.
Ye Futian was also there. At this moment, an extremely beautiful figure sat opposite him. It was Phoenix of the Daozang Palace.
Beside Phoenix, white flames enveloped her body. A wondrous willpower domain descended upon her, making it difficult for her to move.
"Sage Daozang once said in his sermon that when we reach our plane, we should start with the will domain when we merge our powers. Because everyone's comprehension is different, the new will domain that we create will be different as well. This is just what I have comprehended," Ye Futian said to Phoenix, then retracted his power.
"Thank you." Phoenix nodded to Ye Futian. Over the past two years, Ye Futian had entered many relics and secret realms. Many people had seen it, and many had come to ask him for advice.
But Ye Futian was a little surprised that this quiet Phoenix had come to ask him for advice today.
Phoenix's plane was higher than his.
"No problem, we can help each other," Ye Futian said with a smile.
"I will take my leave now. I will come again when I have the chance." Phoenix stood up, then turned and walked away, her clothes fluttering in the wind. She was beautiful.
"Brother Ye, you have good luck with women." At this time, a figure walked through the void. It was Zhong Li, a genius who had entered the Holy Zhi Palace at the same time as him.
"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Futian smiled and shook his head.
"Yes, I was talking nonsense," Zhong Li said with a smile and looked at the beautiful girl beside Ye Futian.
Mu Zhiqiu, in Ye Futian's second year in the Holy Zhi Palace, had also passed the selection and entered the Core Island of the Holy Zhi Palace from the Thousand Holy Islands. She often discussed the cultivation of the Way of Stars with Ye Futian.
"They are here for the same reason as you," Ye Futian explained. In the past two years, Zhong Li had become familiar with him.
"I understand, I understand," Zhong Li said with a smile. He then walked over to Ye Futian's side and asked him for some advice on cultivation. Although they could ask their elders for advice if they encountered any problems in their cultivation, they were of the same generation and Ye Futian's cultivation level was similar to theirs. Sometimes, Ye Futian's cultivation could inspire them.
At the side, Mu Zhiqiu looked at Ye Futian and Zhong Li quietly. In the three years in the Holy Zhi Palace, the youth who had gone to the Zhaixing House to retrieve the Polearm of Divine Destruction had already gained a high reputation among the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace.
She knew that in the Holy Zhi Palace, many disciples said that Ye Futian would be the one to take first place in the Law Rank in the future.
"Junior." At this time, Qi Jie walked over. Ye Futian looked at him and asked, "Senior, what is it?"
"The day of the Holy Zhi Palace's examination has arrived. Now that the disciples taking the examination have stepped out of the Holy Road, many of them are outside the Holy Zhi Palace. Someone asked me to bring you a message," Qi Jie said with a smile.
"Who?" Ye Futian asked.
"Your Second Sister," Qi Jie said. A smile appeared in Ye Futian's eyes and he said, "What message did Second Sister bring me?"
"She said that you haven't missed her in the past three years? Go see her tomorrow, "Qi Jie said with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"…" Ye Futian blinked his eyes, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.
Second Sister is here. I haven't seen her in three years.
