A few days later, news of what happened on Crouching Dragon Mountain spread throughout the Barren State. The entire Barren State was shocked.
Bai Luli and Zhuge Mingyue's engagement attracted the attention of the Barren State, and almost half of the top forces went to congratulate them. However, on the day of the engagement, there was a kidnapping. In the end, the engagement banquet became Zhuge Mingyue and Gu Dongliu's engagement banquet.
Gu Dongliu had replaced Bai Luli. How could this not be shocking?
Furthermore, it was said that the battle between the two of them was a battle between the most talented geniuses of the Barren State. Gu Dongliu, a mid-level sage, had actually managed to injure Bai Luli. If the two of them were of the same plane, Gu Dongliu would have been even stronger. Many people felt that it was absurd. Back in the Barren State, Bai Luli had dominated his generation and no one could compete with him. All his peers had been left behind.
Now, there was finally someone who could compete with Bai Luli.
Other than that, there was still Ye Futian behind them. Ye Futian, who was known as the number one noble in the Barren State and was once the number one on the Law Rank, had now been expelled from the Holy Zhi Palace.
Of course, even if he was expelled from the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian's future was still bright. He might even be able to compete with Bai Luli in the future. It seemed that the Barren State's generation was full of geniuses.
There was something else that made many shudder. Gu Dongliu, who had become the son-in-law of the Zhuge Family, had offended the cultivators from the Zhisheng Cliffs from the sacred grounds of the Yu State. Furthermore, the cultivators from the Zhisheng Cliffs seemed to have no intention of letting him off the hook. They had probably gone to the sacred grounds to ask for reinforcements.
He wondered if there would be a conflict between the Yu State and the Barren State this time.
In the land of the Nine States, the great figures might have interacted with each other, but ordinary cultivators needed too much time to travel across the endless regions. Only those above the Sage Plane would be able to travel across regions. Therefore, for most people, the Barren State was vast enough, and they might not have the chance to travel out in their lifetime. Other states were unfamiliar places.
Sacred grounds of other states like Zhisheng Cliffs probably only existed in ancient texts and rumors.
Crouching Dragon Mountain, Mingyue Pavilion. The place of cultivation was shining brightly. Ye Futian stood in front of a pavilion and looked in that direction. He could faintly see a blurry celestial shadow. It was extremely beautiful.
Zhuge Mingyue and Hua Jieyu were also there. Zhuge Mingyue looked even more beautiful now. She had a bright smile on her face as she looked at the fairy.
"Is Third Brother still cultivating?" Ye Futian asked.
"Yes." Zhuge Mingyue nodded. "He seemed to have realized something during that battle. He didn't have the chance to cultivate during the battle, so he went straight into cultivation that night."
"This …" Ye Futian blinked. "What a wonderful time."
How could Third Senior Brother be cultivating in seclusion? Every minute of the night is worth a thousand gold?
"Little Junior Brother, what are you thinking?" Zhuge Mingyue looked at him with a smile. Ye Futian shuddered and said, "No, it's nothing. I just feel that it's a pity that Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother finally made it here, but Third Brother has been in seclusion all this time and missed out on our reunion."
Xue Ye and Luo Fan had already followed You Chi back to Alchemy City.
Zhuge Mingyue looked at him with a half-smile. This brat actually dared to tease Second Sister and Third Brother. He was getting bolder and bolder.
"Senior Sister, do you think Third Senior Brother will make a breakthrough?" Ye Futian was looking forward to it. If he managed to break through to the next plane, he would be on par with Bai Luli. If they fought again, it would be hard to tell who would emerge victorious.
"Perhaps, but according to him, his Life Spirit has undergone some changes," Zhuge Mingyue said.
"Yeah." Ye Futian nodded. "It seems that Third Senior Brother will need some time to cultivate in seclusion. I won't be waiting for him then. I plan to return to the Palace first."
"Do you want me to ask Father to send someone to accompany you?" Zhuge Mingyue asked.
"No need. I'm not a child anymore. I'm the number one below the Sage Plane now." Ye Futian shook his head and smiled, not at all modest. The Zhuge Family was already somewhat divided because of this matter. That day, many people had publicly humiliated him for wanting to curry favor with the Zhuge Family. If he still used people from the Zhuge Family now, he would probably be laughed at behind his back again. Moreover, it would cause trouble for Zhuge Qingfeng.
"Alright." Zhuge Mingyue smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll go first." Ye Futian left and found Yu Sheng and Hua Jieyu, leaving the Zhuge Family.
…
News of what happened on Crouching Dragon Mountain in the Holy Zhi Palace also caused a huge uproar.
In the battle between Bai Luli and Gu Dongliu, Ye Futian was dragged into it and was expelled from the Palace. Now, Ye Futian and Yu Sheng's names were both removed from the Law Rank, and Ximen Hanjiang had once again become number one.
However, such a number one seemed to have lost some weight. It was not even as good as the number one before Ye Futian's ascension.
A few months ago, Ye Futian defeated Ximen Hanjiang in the battle after his ascension and became a Noble of the Holy Zhi Palace. Many people were still looking forward to competing with Bai Luli in the future, but things were unpredictable. In just a few short months, Ye Futian was no longer a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace. He was the first person in history to be expelled from the Law Battle and first on the Law Rank.
At that moment, Ye Futian was stopped by a guard outside the Palace.
"I'm here to say goodbye to Master and pick up my family. Please report this," Ye Futian said.
"Alright." The guard naturally knew Ye Futian's weight and went to report. Not long after, he came back and said, "Go in."
"Thank you." Ye Futian thanked him and went straight to the Battle Sage Palace. Hua Jieyu went to the Daozang Pavilion. Sage Daozang had been good to her, so she naturally had to say goodbye.
In the Battle Sage Palace, Ye Futian first went back to his residence. Loulan Xue and Yi Qingxuan had been waiting for them for the past few days. Yuan Zhan also came and said, "I'll go with you."
"Alright, come with me to see Master." Ye Futian nodded. This was also what Senior Yuan Hong had instructed him to do.
"Alright." Yuan Zhan nodded and went to the Battle Sage Hall together. Sage Douzhan and Sage Jingang were both there, seemingly waiting for them.
"Master, I've been unfilial." Ye Futian bowed to Sage Douzhan.
Sage Douzhan was tall and burly. He looked at Ye Futian calmly and said, "Back then, you requested to go to the Zhuge Family with a deep obsession. I thought about it then, but I'm sure you won't regret it. Since it's what you want, there's nothing unfilial about it."
"Will Yuan Zhan also leave with you?" Sage Jingang asked.
"Yes, Uncle-Master, I'm sorry," Ye Futian said.
"It's alright." Sage Jingang shook his head and smiled.
"Previously, you were already first and second on the Law Rank. There are few opponents in the Noble Plane. Your next goal is to break through to the Sage Plane. It's a pity that you didn't enter the Sage Hall to cultivate, but even if it's your own choice, there's nothing to be sorry or regretful about. The world is big, and cultivation is everywhere," Sage Douzhan said.
"Thank you, Master." Ye Futian's heart warmed. His three masters, Hua Fengliu, Mr. Du of the Cottage, and Sage Douzhan, each had a unique personality. They had all given him important inspiration and help at some stage in his life. They were very good to him, and he was very grateful.
Along the path of cultivation, although there were many hardships and enemies, there were also many respectable elders and friends who went through thick and thin with him.
Just as Sage Douzhan had said, the world was big, and cultivation was everywhere.
"Although you've left the Palace to cultivate, you're still my disciples. The Barren State is not your final destination. In this endless region, many people are unable to leave in their entire lives, or even return to this land after leaving. But I hope that your names will not only resound in the Barren State, but also throughout the Nine States." Sage Douzhan had high hopes for the two.
"No." Ye Futian shook his head. Sage Douzhan looked at him, but Ye Futian smiled brightly and said, "The world of the Divine Prefecture."
Sage Douzhan was stunned, then smiled and nodded. "Yes, the world of the Divine Prefecture."
Since Ye Futian had such ambitions, then he would wait and see. He just hoped that he could see that day.
"Master, I'm leaving," Ye Futian said.
"Go ahead." Sage Douzhan stood there straight and spoke in a carefree manner.
Ye Futian turned and left, walking out of the Battle Sage Hall. Then he looked back and bowed to the Battle Sage Hall, then waved and left.
Yu Sheng also bowed to the Battle Sage Hall, and the group walked out of the Battle Sage Hall.
"Junior, take care," Qi Jie called from the side.
"Take care, Senior." Ye Futian waved.
Outside the Battle Sage Hall, many people came.
Ye Wuchen of the Sword Palace, Liu Chenyu, Zui Qianchou, and Xu Que.
Hua Jieyu, Yun Shuisheng, Phoenix, and even Xiang Zhiqin had come to the Daozang Palace.
There were also Mu Zhiqiu, Zhong Li, and many people standing in the distance. Yan Qingwu and many other disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace, those who had received guidance from Ye Futian, came to bid farewell.
"Wuchen," Ye Futian looked at Ye Wuchen and shouted. "Did you bring Xu Que's message?"
Ye Wuchen nodded and said, "What are your plans?"
"I haven't decided yet. You cultivate in peace in the Holy Zhi Palace and strive to enter the Sage Plane as soon as possible. The most important thing now is for me to break through to the Plane. I'm going to cultivate in peace for a while," Ye Futian said. "When the time is right, I might go far away. I'll call you then."
"Alright." Ye Wuchen nodded.
However, all of this was just Ye Futian's plan. Many things often turned out differently from what he imagined.
"You're leaving just like that?" Zui Qianchou asked.
"What else do you want?" Ye Futian shrugged. "I'm just changing places to cultivate. It's not like we won't meet again. Cultivate well, and there will be opportunities to travel together in the future. I'm leaving, there's no need to send me off."
As he said that, Ye Futian and his group walked out. Even though he said that, Ye Wuchen and the others followed behind and saw them off.
As such, a strange scene occurred in the Holy Zhi Palace. A genius who had been expelled from the Holy Zhi Palace had many geniuses send him off.
After many great figures found out, they felt a little emotional. Ye Futian was the leader of this generation in the Holy Zhi Palace, and everyone admired him. It was a pity.
Just as Ye Futian left the Holy Zhi Palace, starlight filled the sky somewhere in the Wanxiang Palace. There seemed to be a star wheel rotating in the sky. This was the Wanxiang Palace. In the endless starlight, a voice sat. At that moment, the figure grunted and his face was pale. He opened his eyes, and a dazzling light shone.
In the next moment, the star wheel and starlight that filled the sky dissipated. The figure stood up and became extremely dignified in an instant, walking out of the area.
