The day of Ye Futian's wedding finally arrived. On this day, the winding staircase at the foot of Book Mountain was filled with people.
Most of them were people from all over the Eastern Barren Territory who had come to congratulate Ye Futian. The Sword Saint naturally would not stop such a joyous event. He allowed everyone to go up the mountain to attend the ceremony and congratulate Ye Futian. Thus, the current situation was created. The entire winding mountain was filled with people.
There was a hubbub of voices on Book Mountain. Everyone was talking about the wedding, Ye Futian, Hua Jieyu, Yu Sheng, and Ye Wuchen.
"Back then, the Qin Dynasty wanted to dominate the Eastern Barren Territory. They appointed the crown prince and invited many strong cultivators. Ye Futian, who cultivated in the Cottage, showed his brilliance for the first time and caused a stir. The third disciple, Gu Dongliu, and the second disciple, Zhuge Mingyue, showed their talents one after another, suppressing the geniuses of the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan. In the blink of an eye, Zhuge Mingyue and Gu Dongliu have become Sages like the Sword Saint. Ye Futian is also getting married. Life is like a dream. Time flies."
"The new generation surpasses the old. Back then, the cultivators at the pinnacle of the Noble Plane were so powerful. Ye Wuchen went out to train for a few years and came back to kill the old nobles of the Liu Kingdom. He killed a Grade One Noble with one sword. The three bridegrooms of today's wedding are probably close to the Sage Plane. "
"That's right. Legendary figures are beginning to step onto the stage of history. I'm afraid that they have a place in the Barren State now."
Countless people discussed. Standing on the main peak of Book Mountain, one could see the entire mountain. Everyone could also see in that direction. At this time, there were many beauties on the staircase. They were all former disciples of the Moon Clan. Now, they were willing to go out of etiquette. At the top were some elders.
Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and the others were all sitting there.
Hua Fengliu was all smiles. Today was the happiest day he had been in decades. He and Nandou Wenyin had been forced to separate because they were in love. He had moved to Donghai Academy in Qingzhou City alone, but he did not expect that this experience would also change his fate. He had inadvertently taken in a disciple in the academy who helped him reunite with Nandou Wenyin, restoring his cultivation and Life Spirit.
Everything was like a dream. Now, the disciple he'd treated as his own and his beloved daughter had finally reached this step. He was very happy. He'd never been so happy.
Nandou Wenyin was also very happy. The two smiled at each other and held hands tightly.
"Feng Liu, Wenyin, you can rest assured now," Nandou Wenshan said with a smile.
"I've always been at ease," Nandou Wenyin said with a smile.
"I don't really trust that kid," Hua Fengliu said jokingly.
"During the first battle between the disciples of the Qin Devil and the Art Saint in the Luo Palace, I knew that Fengliu had a good disciple," Nandou Wenshan said, recalling the past.
"Yes." Hua Fengliu nodded. "He looks 80% like me. Even his looks are the same."
At that moment, he was thinking about how Ye Futian had carried him into the East Sea. At that time, the master and disciple had been so miserable.
"You …" Nandou Wenshan laughed. However, Hua Fengliu's looks were indeed outstanding. Otherwise, his sister would not have fallen for him.
"Elder Yi, you must drink more today," Nandou Wenshan said to Yi Xiang, who was beside him.
"Okay." Yi Xiang nodded readily.
"The old man is happy today too. Let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest." Hua Fengliu smiled.
"Don't get my master drunk." Tang Lan glared at Hua Fengliu.
"It's okay. I'm here." Emperor Ye and Lord Ye were also sitting beside them, smiling.
Other than them, Sage Douzhan, the Sword Demon, and Sage Daozang were also sitting here. Seeing this group of people joking with each other, they also smiled. This was the atmosphere of life. They had not felt it for many years.
From these people, they could vaguely understand some of Ye Futian's experiences. Naturally, they could also understand his personality.
At that moment, the wind and clouds above the sky changed. Above the void in the distance, a dazzling light flashed.
"What's going on?" Everyone on Book Mountain felt the frightening aura in the distance and looked in that direction. Then, they saw a golden dragon carriage pulling a group of cultivators over. This group of cultivators were all extraordinary. Their temperament was extraordinary. The person in the lead was even more dignified. He sat on the carriage, looking very impressive.
"This guy." Douzhan, the Sword Demon, and the others saw the newcomer and smiled.
"Alchemy City of the Western Region of the Barren State has come to congratulate you." A voice shook the heavens and the earth. The figure in front of the carriage was the Alchemy City Lord You Chi.
Beside them, a Vermilion Bird flew over. The Vermilion Bird carriage was also incomparably beautiful. There were also dazzling figures on it.
"Fire Emperor Palace of the Flame has come to congratulate you." This group of people were cultivators from Fire Emperor Palace, Li Futu's family. Now, everyone in the Barren State could see that You Chi's family was already the most powerful in the Western Region of the Barren State. Moreover, with the relationship between Ye Futian and You Chi, as well as Ye Futian's own identity and talent, they had to give him face.
"Haha." A charming laugh sounded. Then, everyone saw a group of Jiutian Goddesses descend from the sky. The woman in the lead could charm all living beings.
"Goddess Pavilion has come to congratulate you, Sir Ye," the Goddess Pavilion Palace Lord said with a smile.
"Chu Ji, behave yourself today," You Chi said indifferently.
"I know." Chu Ji glared at You Chi. This old fellow really liked to meddle in other people's business. She retracted her charm, and instantly, everyone came to their senses. They felt cold sweat all over their bodies. What a scary woman. Just one look was enough to make people unable to resist her charm.
Who were these people? Why did they all come to congratulate him?
Boom, boom, boom! At the foot of Book Mountain, the ground shook as if there was an earthquake. Many people's hearts trembled. Then, they saw huge golden apes rise into the sky, appearing in all directions.
"This …" The crowd was shocked. Could it be that they were here to cause trouble?
"Taihang Mountain has come to congratulate you," Yuan Hong said loudly, his voice shaking Book Mountain.
"Zhuge Family has come to congratulate you." Another person descended. Zhuge Qingfeng had come with a group of cultivators.
"The Sovereign Family has come to congratulate you."
"The Mortal World has come to congratulate you."
"Taixuan Mountain has come to congratulate you."
Voices rose and fell one after another. Soon, an incomparably magnificent scene appeared in the sky above Book Mountain. The vast number of experts seemed to have occupied the entire sky. Every single person who arrived was dazzling and emitted an incomparable aura.
The people of the Eastern Barren Territory couldn't stop their hearts from pounding. What was happening?
Was this really Ye Futian's wedding day?
"The Mortal World and Taixuan Mountain. Aren't they the domineering top forces of the Barren State that came to Book Mountain all those years ago? Why are they here today? "
"And the Zhuge Family. Isn't that the family of the second disciple of the Cottage? It's said that they are the top force in the Barren State. Why are they here today? It can't be just because of Zhuge Mingyue, right?"
More people arrived. The Starry School, the Dragon Clan, the Gu Clan, the Zhaixing House. Almost everyone who was on good terms with Ye Futian was here. Many forces that were not on good terms with Ye Futian also came to congratulate him.
The people of the Eastern Barren Territory had never seen such a scene before. At the moment, they were even a bit numb. They did not know what was happening.
Even Emperor Ye, Nandou Wenshan, Hua Fengliu, Yi Xiang, and the others had never seen such a terrifying scene before. They could not calm down.
What kind of storm had Ye Futian caused in the Barren State?
More than half of the top forces of the Barren State had arrived.
Ye Lingxi, Ye Danchen, Lin Yueyao, and the others stood together. They stared at everything in front of them, dumbfounded. They could not calm down for a long time.
They had thought that Ye Futian might have achieved something extraordinary in the Barren State, but they did not expect to see such a grand scene.
At the moment, figures walked up to the stage one after another. They were Huang Jiuge, Xu Que, Yi Xiaoshi, Yuan Zhan, Zhong Li, and the others. There were also Yun Shuisheng, Phoenix, Gu Yunxi, Mu Zhiqiu, and the other women. Seeing the group of youths, many people's hearts trembled. What an outstanding group of youths. Just the women alone were all stunning beauties.
They stood on both sides of the stairs, welcoming the newlyweds.
At the bottom of the stairs, Ye Futian, Hua Jieyu, Yu Sheng, Yi Qingxuan, Ye Wuchen, and Liu Chenyu walked up to the stage. Countless eyes fell on them. At that moment, Book Mountain seemed to have returned to peace.
The cultivators from the Barren State who had descended from the void also descended. Naturally, they did not want to steal the limelight. They all hovered in the air, slightly lower than the high platform. This was a sign of respect for the wedding.
Ye Futian and the others walked up to Hua Fengliu and the other elders. Beside them, Huang Jiuge, Xu Que, and the others handed everyone wine glasses and poured wine.
Ye Futian knelt on both knees, and the others followed suit. Although it was said that men should not kneel, the people sitting on the stage today were Hua Fengliu, Nandou Wenyin, Hua Jieyu's parents, and Ye Futian's master.
Douzhan, Yi Xiang, Big Brother, and the other elders had all risked their lives for them. They were Yi Qingxuan's father, Yu Sheng's master, and Emperor Ye's and Ye Wuchen's parents.
Of course, the people on the stage could accept this kneeling.
"I don't know where my parents are. Master, Masteress, and the other elders are like my parents. Without you, I would not be who I am today. A toast to all of you." Ye Futian drank his wine.
"Father, Mother, Master," Hua Jieyu called out and also drank her wine.
Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and the others did the same.
Everyone had smiles in their eyes. Hua Fengliu, Nandou Wenyin, and some others had tears in their eyes. Those were tears of joy.
"Get up," Nandou Wenyin said with a trembling voice. She reached out and helped Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu up.
"I took in a disciple and my daughter was taken away. Don't I feel bad?" Hua Fengliu said, smiling.
Everyone smiled brightly. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu smiled as well.
"The second cup of wine," Long Long'er said, smiling. A group of people came up to pour wine.
Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu looked at each other and smiled. Ye Futian said softly, "The second cup of wine is to my most beloved."
The two of them crossed their cups and drank.
"The third cup of wine is to the Cottage, to my seniors, to my brothers and sisters, to my sisters and brothers," Ye Futian said, raising his cup again. He faced his Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Brother, Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, Yi Xiaoshi, Yuan Zhan, Yun Shuisheng, Phoenix, and many others. He drank his wine in one go.
Everyone followed him and drank the wine in their cups at the same time, full of heroic spirit.
"Xu Que, pour the wine." Ye Futian extended his cup, and Xu Que poured it for him. Ye Futian and Hua Jieyu walked to the edge of the platform and looked at the elders from the Barren State. He said, "Seniors, you have come from afar. Many of you have saved my life and fought for me. The fourth cup of wine is to all of you."
He and Hua Jieyu drank their wine in one go. Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, and the others also felt touched and walked up together.
"Wine." Ye Futian continued. Everyone looked at him. Ye Futian drank two cups in a row. Hua Jieyu and the others accompanied him.
"The fifth and sixth cups, one to the past, one to the future." Ye Futian poured the seventh cup after drinking two.
He raised his cup and looked at the endless people before him. "The seventh cup of wine is to the Barren State."
"To the Barren State, what a good one. Cheers." You Chi also took out his cup. Immediately, the important figures of the Barren State raised their cups and drank with Ye Futian.
"To the Barren State."
"Futian, today is a joyous occasion. It's time to make a decision," Zhuge Qingfeng said, looking at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian nodded and said loudly, "I agree to inherit the position of Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace."
As his voice fell, many people stood up. Even Sage Douzhan, the Sword Demon, and Sage Daozang, who were seated in the upper seats, stood up and walked out.
Many disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace who were present looked at Ye Futian solemnly.
When Ye Futian said that, he was no longer just Ye Futian. He was also the leader of the Holy Zhi Palace, a sacred ground of the Barren State.
"Douzhan, Palace Lord of the Battle Sage Palace of the Holy Zhi Palace."
"The Sword Demon, Palace Lord of the Sword Palace of the Holy Zhi Palace."
"Daozang, Palace Lord of the Daozang Pavilion of the Holy Zhi Palace."
"Greetings, Palace Lord." The three Palace Lords bowed to Ye Futian. This was a ceremony, even if Ye Futian was a junior.
"Greetings, Palace Lord." Xu Que, Huang Jiuge, Yun Shuisheng, and all the other disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace bowed solemnly.
"Alchemy City Lord You Chi."
"Zhuge Qingfeng, the head of the Zhuge Family."
"Xu Shang of Tingxue House."
"Greetings, Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace."
One by one, the important figures bowed in Ye Futian's direction. The Holy Zhi Palace was the holy land of the Barren State and the leader of the Barren State.
Now, Ye Futian had officially inherited the position of Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace. In a sense, he was now the leader of the Barren State.
Up and down Book Mountain, voices shook the heavens and the earth. Countless people stared at the scene, unable to calm their hearts for a long time. This scene was imprinted in their minds, and they would still think of it many years later!
