The news of the battle in White Cloud City spread throughout the Barren State. Then, another piece of news spread throughout the Barren State.
Kong Yao of Zhisheng Cliffs invited the top forces of the Barren State to gather in Xuanwu City to discuss the path to sainthood.
The news caused a huge uproar. Who in the Barren State did not know that Zhisheng Cliffs wanted to deal with the Zhuge Family?
At a time like this, Zhisheng Cliffs invited the people of the Barren State to gather in Xuanwu City. Everyone in the Barren State knew what this meant.
The news that Zhisheng Cliffs released was rather subtle. They only said that they would discuss the path to sainthood, but ordinary people did not know what this meant other than the Zhuge Family. However, Kong Yao of Zhisheng Cliffs knew that those on the Barren Sky Ranking would definitely know what he meant.
The end of year 1009 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar was not peaceful. The people of the Barren State seemed to see the coming of a turbulent era.
On Crouching Dragon Mountain, when year 10010 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar arrived, Ye Futian was still cultivating in the Moon House.
There was no banquet at Crouching Dragon Mountain yesterday, and it was not lively at all. There was no new year atmosphere.
Ye Futian sat there quietly, feeling the Spiritual Qi in the air. Now, other than cultivating his Spiritual Energy, he was also trying to comprehend the Sage Will. Ever since he stepped into the Barren State, he had stepped into many relics to feel the power of the Sage Plane. Not long ago, he had even experienced the top Sage Plane figures fighting on Yuan Hong's back. He had a very good understanding of the abilities of those in the Sage Plane.
But understanding was one thing, and comprehending was another.
Behind Ye Futian, Gu Dongliu and Zhuge Mingyue walked over quietly. They did not disturb Ye Futian's cultivation, but Ye Futian still opened his eyes and turned to look at the two. He smiled and said, "Second Sister, Third Brother."
"Little Brother, are you already trying to comprehend the Sage Will?" Gu Dongliu asked.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. "I seem to have some comprehension, but I can't grasp it."
"That's normal." Gu Dongliu nodded. "You're only a Grade Two Noble now. Although you've managed to sense a wisp of Sage Will thanks to your extraordinary comprehension, you've never been able to get started. That's because there's a qualitative change between the Noble Plane and the Sage Plane. Cultivation before the Sage Plane can be summarized as seeing mountains as mountains and water as water. However, once you've reached the Sage Plane, you'll no longer see mountains as mountains and water as water."
"Third Brother, what you said is too profound," Ye Futian said with a smile.
Gu Dongliu looked forward. With a thought, a leaf fell down. He asked, "What kind of power do you feel from the falling leaf?"
"I can feel the will of the wind," Ye Futian said.
Gu Dongliu did not reply. His eyes were still on the leaf. He let it fall and land on a rock. The leaf floated down weakly, but in the next moment, his eyes froze. He saw the falling leaf glide across the rock, cutting it open. The weak leaf was like a sharp dagger, cutting through the rock.
"This …" Ye Futian was touched.
"This is the will. The will melds with heaven and earth. The will of a Sage is the will of heaven and earth. When you comprehend this rule, your will is everywhere, turning into rules. That leaf just merged with my will and has the rule power of the sword," Gu Dongliu said.
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded. He faintly felt that he had touched something but could not grasp it.
"All kinds of Spiritual Qi in the world can become the power of rules, but there are some stronger rules that are born from the elements but born from the power of the elements. You should have touched this level now. The Noble Will power you use is a brand new will power born from the fusion," Gu Dongliu continued.
"Yes, I know that." Ye Futian nodded. Back in the Cottage, the teacher had guided him to cultivate the fusion of spells. It was to pave the way for his later cultivation.
"You specialize in all elemental abilities, and on the path of cultivation, the higher the plane, the more obvious the advantage of elemental attributes. Sorcerers who train in only one element will have a much weaker understanding of the rules. At the Sage Plane, even those of the same plane will have a huge gap, not to mention those at the Archmage Plane. As such, the Nine States have the Sage and Saint Ranking of the Nine States, as well as the Barren Sky Ranking. Those who are able to be on the ranking are all extraordinary figures," Gu Dongliu said.
"If the Barren Sky Rankings were to be rearranged, Third Brother would also be able to enter the Barren Sky Rankings," Ye Futian said with a smile. Of course, Third Brother's goal was not the Barren Sky Rankings.
"These things are not important." Gu Dongliu shook his head lightly. Fame meant nothing to him.
"I'm practicing staff techniques," Ye Futian said. From the sixth strike of the Nine Heavenly Attacks, he could faintly feel a trace of the power of the Sage Plane.
"Yes." Gu Dongliu and Zhuge Mingyue nodded, and the two left.
"Is Jieyu still at Taihang Mountain?" Gu Dongliu asked Zhuge Mingyue.
"Little Brother naturally has Jieyu's best interests at heart. The Barren State is in turmoil now, and Crouching Dragon Mountain is at the center of the vortex. It could collapse at any time. Little Brother can't bear to let Jieyu come. He's doing this to protect her." Zhuge Mingyue naturally understood Ye Futian's intentions.
"But this kid must have tricked Jieyu," Zhuge Mingyue sighed softly. Zhuge Mingyue sighed softly. When Ye Futian went to White Cloud City, there was no way he could bring Hua Jieyu with him. After that, he did not return to Taihang Mountain and came here directly, leaving Hua Jieyu on Taihang Mountain. If Hua Jieyu knew about this, she would probably have followed him to White Cloud City. There was no way she would have been left behind.
The apes of Taihang Mountain listened to Ye Futian. It would have been difficult for Hua Jieyu to come here alone.
Gu Dongliu did not say much.
…
After a few days, Xuanwu City gradually became lively. Powerful figures from all over came from faraway places, crossing over endless territories.
The leaders of many top forces arrived one after another. Some even said that they saw mighty ones who had not appeared on the Barren Sky Rankings for a long time. Xuanwu City was shaken.
Many people did not understand why a single sentence from Kong Yao of Zhisheng Cliffs would have such rallying power.
Could it be that these forces that came were really going to join forces with Zhisheng Cliffs to attack the Zhuge Family?
Currently, the Zhuge Family on Crouching Dragon Mountain was like a city in danger and was in imminent danger.
The mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs released news that they would meet the mighty ones of the Barren State in a few days at Xuanwu Tower, the center of Xuanwu City.
At that moment, in a palace in Xuanwu City, the ones who lived there were mighty ones from the Sovereign Family of Zhongzhou City. Huang Xi of the Sovereign Family had come personally.
At that moment, in a courtyard in the palace, Huang Xi was cultivating with his eyes closed. A young man came over. It was Huang Jiuge.
"Zhisheng Cliffs said that they would meet the mighty ones of the Barren State at Xuanwu Tower. It is obvious that they are going for the Zhuge Family. Why do we have to come here?" Huang Jiuge asked.
"There's no harm in coming to see." Huang Xi opened his eyes and looked at Huang Jiuge. "Moreover, two of the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs are here. One of them is the Son, Qin Zhong, who is known as the number one noble of Zhisheng Cliffs. He fought with Ximen Hanjiang in the Holy Zhi Palace and Ximen Hanjiang could not withstand a single blow. Don't you want to see the top genius from the holy land of Yu State, who is known to be invincible below the Sage Plane?"
Invincible below the Sage Plane?
Huang Jiuge murmured. That person was able to easily defeat Ximen Hanjiang. There was no doubt about his strength, but whether or not he was invincible was unknown.
On the day of the engagement banquet of the Zhuge Family, Ye Futian had displayed the strength of a Grade Two Noble. The number one noble of the Zhuge Family had also been unable to withstand a single blow.
"You think of Ye Futian?" Huang Xi asked.
"Yes." Huang Jiuge nodded.
"He is the first of your generation to have earned your admiration, but he is indeed outstanding. However, this brat actually participated in the matter of Zhisheng Cliffs and led the demons of Taihang Mountain to attack White Cloud City. He is not afraid of causing trouble." Huang Xi said, "It seems that you need to worry about this friend of yours."
"The Zhuge Family has a divine implement, and Yuan Hong has also defeated the City Lord of White Cloud City. Zhisheng Cliffs will not be able to shake Crouching Dragon Mountain at all. Could it be that the Barren State forces that came here are really going to help forces from the outside?" Huang Jiuge asked.
"You should know about Proving Saint Orthodoxy." Huang Xi looked up into the air and said, "Who would miss the opportunity to become a Saint? Which generation did not advance wave after wave without regret? Now that there is no news of the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, does the Barren State really think that they are cultivating in seclusion? Zhisheng Cliffs is the holy land of Yu State and has a Saint. Even without a Saint, the power that Zhisheng Cliffs controls must be extremely terrifying. Kong Yao himself is ranked ninth on the Sage Ranking of the Nine States. Although those people also understand that the cultivators of Zhisheng Cliffs are also going to prove Saint Plane and that helping them is illusory, being able to form an alliance with Zhisheng Cliffs will at least give them more hope. Proving Saint Plane, even if there is only a sliver of hope, is enough to move people. The higher the ranking of the Barren Sky Ranking, the more tempted they are. "
Huang Xi knew of their desire for the Saint Plane, because he had the same desire as everyone else.
Huang Jiuge was silent. He had indeed heard of it, but he was still far from that level.
"Let's see. I believe that day will be as lively as the engagement banquet last time," Huang Xi said. Huang Jiuge nodded and turned to leave.
Just as Huang Xi had expected, the Black Tortoise Tower was in an uproar when that day arrived.
A group of people from Zhisheng Cliffs sat quietly in Xuanwu Tower. Going down the stairs, a feast had been prepared, and cultivators arrived one after another.
"Greetings, Mr. Kong, from the Nantian House of the Barren State." At that moment, a group of cultivators arrived below Xuanwu Tower.
"I have long heard of the Divine Spear of Nantian of the Barren State," Kong Yao nodded and said.
"Greetings from the Sword Saint Villa." At that moment, a voice was heard from afar. Sword aura whistled in the air and a group of cultivators arrived on their swords. The person at the head was the Villa Master of the Sword Saint Villa, the Wuji Swordsman, an influential figure ranked at the top of the Barren Sky Ranking.
"It was once a holy land of swordsmanship. I have long heard of your name," Kong Yao said with a smile. If the people who came today could join forces with him, taking down Crouching Dragon Mountain would be a piece of cake.
After that, the Vermilion Bird Sect, the Ximen Clan, Taixuan Mountain, the Sacred Fire Sect, and other forces arrived one after another. More than half of the Barren State's cultivators were gathered in Xuanwu Tower, and this time, they were all major figures. It was a grand occasion.
The people of Xuanwu City watched all this from afar and felt extremely uneasy.
