The music gradually dissipated. Only then did everyone wake up. They took a deep breath. They felt like they had been dreaming.
Lifting their heads, they looked at Ye Futian. The white-robed figure was magnificent. His clothes fluttered in the wind. His starry eyes looked down at Lian Yuqing.
He had said that from this day on, Lian Yuqing was not allowed to touch the guqin in front of him.
Lian Yuqing's Life Spirit had been broken. He was injured, but he was in more pain on a spiritual level. He had created the Dark Guqin Piece to deal with Ye Futian's Ukiyo. However, Ye Futian had not played the Ukiyo since the beginning.
Now, did he not even have the right to see the Ukiyo?
What was even more frightening was that he had actually lost himself just now. His spiritual will was controlled by Ye Futian and he had to listen to Ye Futian's orders. He knew what had happened just now. Now that he thought about it, it was as cruel as cutting his heart. He would probably never forget this battle. At that moment, if Ye Futian wanted him to kneel, would he?
His will was under Ye Futian's control. Ye Futian's words were orders. He would do anything he was told to do.
He knew that Ye Futian's music had such power. Why did he take the risk?
His plane was clearly higher than Ye Futian's. Why did he lose?
"Why?" A ferocious look flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be asking Ye Futian, but at the same time, it seemed like he was asking himself.
He was fifth on the Law Rank. He had lost to the Ukiyo two years ago. He felt that it was not his fault. He had only lost to the Ukiyo, one of the top ten songs in the world. Therefore, he had focused on cultivation to challenge the Ukiyo again. However, this time, Ye Futian was only a Grade Three Noble. He did not play the Ukiyo, but he still defeated him in such a cruel manner.
This kind of pain, others would not understand, nor would they understand.
"You are proficient in guqin, but you gave up on the essence of your music to deal with me. You ignored the artistic conception of the guqin and rushed to succeed. You did not walk the right path." Ye Futian looked at Lian Yuqing and said slowly, "Your plane is higher than mine, so you shouldn't have been defeated so quickly. With your plane, it was even more impossible for you to have fallen under my control. At the very least, you should have been able to break free before that happened. Even if you lost, you know the reason."
Of course, Lian Yuqing knew that Ye Futian's guqin music was all about the artistic conception that resonated with the will of heaven and earth. Even the willpower of those around him seemed to be used by him, turning it all into a song. Ye Futian even controlled his guqin will and his willpower, causing him to lose himself. If he had not been so eager to succeed and wanted to defeat Ye Futian in one fell swoop, he would not have been completely lost by Ye Futian.
He had not only lost in the Way of the Zither.
Therefore, Ye Futian said that he was not worthy to play the guqin in front of him.
At the moment, Lian Yuqing did not seem to have his usual demeanor. He seemed to have lost his soul. This battle had been too tragic.
Everyone around seemed to understand that Lian Yuqing should not have been defeated so badly. After all, while Ye Futian was strong, the Way of the Zither was only one of his specialties. Moreover, he had not played the Ukiyo Song. This meant that Lian Yuqing, who was ranked fifth on the Law Rank, had not even fought the strongest Ye Futian and had ended up in such a miserable state.
"You've been in the Holy Zhi Palace for three years and have not fought much. However, every time you fight, you destroy the faith of others and destroy their minds. Not long ago, you said such arrogant words. Don't you think you are too harsh?" A voice came from afar. Many people thought of the battle that had happened when Ye Futian entered the Holy Zhi Palace.
From Bai Ze, to Yun Feng, to Lian Yuqing, to the new champion of the Law Battle, Ximen Gu, it seemed that it was just as the voice had said. Anyone who doubted him would suffer the cruelest blow and destroy their faith.
Ever since the battle with Ye Futian, the hearts of geniuses like Bai Ze and Yun Feng had been affected. As a result, cultivating in the Holy Zhi Palace had become inconspicuous.
Now, it seemed that Lian Yuqing was going to repeat the same mistake.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at the approaching figure, their hearts pounding.
Had he finally come in person?
Ximen Hanjiang, the former first on the Law Rank and now second on the Law Rank.
Ye Futian raised his head to look at the approaching figure. His expression was calm as he said, "Then, why am I doing this?"
Bai Ze had asked Hua Jieyu to enter the Holy Sage Pavilion to cultivate with him right in front of him.
Yun Feng had put Hua Jieyu in his painting.
Lian Yuqing had come out to injure him after he defeated Yun Feng.
Ximen Gu had flirted with Long Ling 'er.
"No matter the reason, you destroy people in every battle. Don't you enjoy it?" Ximen Hanjiang continued.
Ye Futian smiled, understanding that this kind of argument was meaningless. He replied calmly, "I've never reached the Sage Plane and don't know how they feel. I'm not a sage and naturally don't have the bearing to return good for evil. What I believe in is to return good for good and evil for evil. You're not me. You haven't experienced the grudges between me and them. What right do you have to stand on your side and criticize others?"
Ye Futian smiled mockingly and continued, "If you really had the bearing, you wouldn't have appeared here today."
Since Ximen Hanjiang had appeared, it was obvious that he couldn't let it go.
"Then, why are you so arrogant and look down on the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace?" Ximen Hanjiang asked.
"First on the Law Rank of Grade Three Noble. He defeated the number one genius of Alchemy City, Di Gang. Who else in the Holy Zhi Palace can do that? Don't you know if he deserves to be first on the Law Rank?" At that moment, a rather lazy chuckle was heard. Xu Que lay there and said leisurely, "Is it so hard to admit the excellence of others?"
"Xu Que, you're the heir of Tingxue House, and now you're a Grade Two Noble. You're considered a top-notch genius among your generation in the Barren State. Is this what you're proud of?" Ximen Hanjiang looked at Xu Que and said, seemingly mocking him for following Ye Futian.
"Geniuses have their own pride, but when you meet someone better than you, you should know how to appreciate them and chase after them. As for those who question you, don't blame others for slapping you in the face."
Many looked up at Xu Que and then at the many figures behind Ye Futian. Yu Sheng, Phoenix, and the others were all geniuses of the Holy Zhi Palace, but they were still willing to follow Ye Futian and train with him. They even heard that many of their generation often came to Ye Futian to ask for guidance. This was probably an appreciation for those who were better than them.
"Humans are so strange. They'll be jealous of those who are better than them but not that far apart. Perhaps one day, when they really need to look up to someone, they'll know respect. But by then, they won't even look at you." Zui Qianchou also lay beside Xu Que and drank. The two seemed to be very relaxed.
Among the crowd below, Xiang Zhiqin, Yun Feng, and the others were probably the most moved. Now, they could already feel that the white-robed figure standing at the edge of the Battle Sage Palace was already an existence that they had to look up to.
The disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace also sighed. With Ye Futian's talent, he would definitely be a super existence on the Barren Sky Ranking in the future. There was no doubt about this.
"Ximen Hanjiang." Ye Futian looked down at Ximen Hanjiang and said calmly, "If you're here to question my character, then you can go back. I'm me, and I don't need you to question me. You don't have the right to."
As Ye Futian's voice landed, the two stared at each other. There seemed to be invisible currents clashing in the air.
Ye Futian was right. He was now first on the Law Rank, and Ximen Hanjiang was only second.
Ximen Hanjiang did not have the right to stand here and criticize Ye Futian.
"Make your move." Ximen Hanjiang did not say anything else. Instead, he spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew over, and everyone felt a bleak coldness.
The previous first on the Law Rank, Ximen Hanjiang, had officially declared war against the current first on the Law Rank.
Who was stronger between the two first on the Law Rank?
This battle would be a battle between the pinnacle of the Noble Plane in the Holy Zhi Palace.
Ye Futian stepped forward. The wind blew, and his black hair danced. He looked at Ximen Hanjiang and said, "I've already experienced the pinnacle of the Noble Plane in the battle of Alchemy City. There's no need to go through so much trouble for this battle. Just give it your all."
In the battle between Alchemy City and Di Gang, Ye Futian had used the opportunity to break through to the next plane. He had already seen the pinnacle of the Noble Plane. He still did not know who was stronger between Ximen Hanjiang and Di Gang, but there shouldn't be too much of a difference. At the very least, Ximen Hanjiang would not be weak, so there was no need to test him slowly.
Both of them were first on the Law Rank. They should know that they could not defeat each other using normal methods.
"Alright," Ximen Hanjiang said. Ximen Hanjiang said. As his voice landed, an extreme chill was suddenly born in the air. It was as if snow was floating in the vast space. Many people could not help but shiver. That chill seeped into their bones and souls, causing them to feel numb all over and their thoughts to come to a halt.
This artistic conception was not targeted at them. One could imagine what kind of mental pressure Ye Futian was under at the moment.
At that moment, Ye Futian felt like he was in a world of ice and snow. The chill seeped into his body, but there were flames burning on his body. A huge Roc appeared, growing larger and larger until it turned into a real divine bird, the Roc. Ye Futian stretched out his hand. Golden Spiritual Qi gathered in a frenzy, turning into a long staff.
Beams of terrifying light pierced through his body. Frightening light bloomed from Ye Futian's body, and the Roc's body did the same. At that moment, Ye Futian seemed to have endless power.
However, at that moment, a frightening ice storm swept through the air. The chill seemed to be able to freeze the heavens and earth and freeze all things. Even the cold wind in the ice storm was like sharp swords.
Around Ye Futian's body, an overbearing absolute power of the domain appeared. Starlight circled around him, and sharp sounds were heard. The absolute will of the domain was torn apart, and the chill continued to eat at his body.
"Sage Will," Ye Futian thought to himself. The space around him seemed to be completely frozen, turning into a world of ice and snow. His body seemed to be frozen as well, and at the same time, he was being torn apart in the ice storm. Even though he had unparalleled power, he still felt restricted at that moment.
Rustling sounds were heard from within his Life Palace. His dazzling body seemed to have turned into a furnace, and the frightening power of the flames spread to every part of his body. Then, his wings trembled, and the Roc flew up. As for himself, he waved his long staff, which seemed to contain a mystical rhythm. It was majestic, and there was a will to devour the world.
The staff techniques were like fist techniques, and the fist will was integrated into the staff techniques. Around his body, a frightening martial will storm gradually gathered, crushing everything and becoming stronger and stronger!
