In the following days, people went to the foot of Xihua Sacred Mountain every day to try ringing the Law Bell.
Among them were geniuses from all over the Nine States who participated in the Nine State Forum, as well as sages from all over, who used the Law Bell to test the level of their power of rules.
Every day, there would be a batch of very outstanding people who amazed everyone.
The people of Huatian City even made a list of the top geniuses from all over the Nine States for the Nine State Forum. Of course, there was also the possibility that some people did not use their full strength when ringing the Law Bell. They were purely trying to get the qualification to enter the Forum, so that they would not have to participate in the chaotic battle.
Ye Futian did not join in on the fun these days. He did not even participate in the mighty qualification selection for the Nine State Forum. Instead, Zhuge Qingfeng, Inferno King, and many other mighty ones from the Barren State went to watch. After they came back, they were all people who could not ring the Law Bell. Unless there were people with special abilities, it would be difficult to win against top notch nobles who could ring the Law Bell and comprehend mature rules.
Li Futu qualified for the Nine State Forum, and a junior from the Zhuge family was also selected. There were also several top notch nobles from the Holy Zhi Palace and the Barren State who passed the test.
As the time for the Nine State Forum approached, the atmosphere in Huatian City reached its peak. The vast area surrounding Xihua Sacred Mountain was filled with people, and almost all of the people in this area were extraordinary figures.
Every day, the foot of Xihua Sacred Mountain was crowded. Countless people looked up at the holy land that was integrated into the mountain.
Finally, the day that countless people in the Eastern State had been waiting for finally arrived.
In the early morning, at the foot of Xihua Sacred Mountain, there were countless figures as far as the eye could see. They looked up at the holy land above the 3,000 steps. The light of the morning sun shone on the holy land, making it look even more sacred. It was as if the entire Sacred Mountain was covered in a layer of holy light.
At that moment, on the 3,000 steps of Xihua Sacred Mountain, two rows of figures lined up neatly and kept going down, like a stream of people flowing down the steps. It was extremely shocking.
Soon, on both sides of the 3,000 steps, there were people standing there to welcome them. It was a very strong visual impact.
At the top of the 3,000 steps, an elder stood there and looked down. He said loudly, "This year's Nine State Forum will be held at Xihua Sacred Mountain in the Eastern State. The people of the Eastern State are the hosts of this year's Nine State Forum. Please enter the Sacred Mountain of the Eastern State."
In the land of the Eastern State, there were eight saints and five holy lands: Xihua Sacred Mountain with three saints, and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty with two saints. The other three were the Sky Saint with the floating mountain and the Lapis Saint with the Lapis Lazuli Holy temple with the Glass Saint.
The place where the saints resided was a holy land. Even though the floating mountain only had the Sky Saint and his disciple, Han Yu, it was still a holy land because there were saints.
Holy lands became famous because of their saints. Only with the existence of saints could one be called a holy land. As such, the people of the Nine States all thought that the current holy land of the Barren State did not live up to its name.
At this moment, the cry of a phoenix reverberated through the sky. After that, a phoenix carriage descended from the heavens. The golden radiance of the carriage shone down on the surroundings. In the center of the phoenix carriage sat a figure dressed in luxurious golden robes. His eyes seemed to be able to pierce through space. Just by sitting there quietly, it made people feel like they were worshipping him.
On both sides of the gorgeous phoenix carriage, there were two neat rows of armored soldiers. Although there were not many of them, every one of them gave people a very sharp feeling.
"His Majesty of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty has come in person." Many people's hearts trembled. The person sitting in the carriage was the Great Zhou Sacred King.
A saint had come in person.
"Is this the Golden Phoenix Army that swept through the Eastern State all those years ago?" Everyone's hearts trembled. The Golden Phoenix Army was the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's royal knight army. Only those with royal blood were qualified to enter. Not only did they have to be of royal blood, but they also had to awaken the Golden Phoenix Life Spirit and have the blood of the Golden Phoenix flowing in their veins.
The Golden Phoenix was the totem of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
The phoenix carriage passed through the sky and headed for Xihua Sacred Mountain. The saint had come in person, so there was no need for him to get down and walk. He could ride the carriage into the Sacred Mountain.
At that moment, a golden light shone in the void. The Great Zhou Sacred King looked to his side. In the next moment, two figures seemed to appear out of thin air. One of them was Han Yu, who had rung the Law Bell a few days ago. As for the other, he was spotless. His eyes were deep and boundless, as if there was no end to them.
"The Sky Saint." Everyone's hearts trembled. This was the Nine State Forum. A saint had come in person.
Be it the Great Zhou Sacred King or the Sky Saint, who would have seen them on a normal day?
But today, both of them appeared here at the same time.
At that moment, dazzling light shone in the void, like the light of colored glass. It was incomparably gorgeous. Then, a group of peerless women descended from the sky and landed in the air above the stairs.
"We've arrived at the Lapis Lazuli Holy Temple." Countless eyes looked at those figures, as if they were looking for something. Soon, their eyes fell on the woman at the head of the group. That woman was ethereal and clear, as if she was not from this world. She looked to be only in her twenties. Her skin was smooth and delicate, and her face was breathtakingly beautiful. Her temperament, in particular, was so sacred that no one dared to blaspheme her.
"The Glass Saint."
"I'm actually able to see the Glass Saint in my lifetime." Many cultivators revealed a bit of fanaticism in their eyes. That was the Glass Saint, a woman whose life was full of legends. She was also the most beautiful woman in the Eastern State.
Even when the Great Zhou Sacred King looked at the Glass Saint, he did not hide the trace of desire in his eyes. The Glass Saint was the woman he wanted the most. It had been so since he was young.
The number one beauty in the Eastern State, her beauty spanned an entire era, and until now, no one had surpassed her.
As her cultivation grew, not only did she not age, but she became more and more outstanding.
"What a beautiful woman," Ye Futian said in a low voice in the crowd. Hearing the exclamations of the people around him, he knew the identity of this person. It turned out to be the Glass Saint of the 72 Saints.
Goddess Qingni's appearance was already extremely outstanding, but now standing next to her master, the Glass Saint, she seemed a bit inferior.
"That's a Saint, don't think too much about it," Hua Jieyu whispered with a smile beside Ye Futian.
"It's just pure admiration. Jieyu, why don't I understand what you're saying?" Ye Futian's eyes fell on Hua Jieyu's eyes. She blinked and said, "What are you looking at?"
"For those with outstanding cultivation talent, if they cultivate fast enough, their appearance will never age, and even their temperament will become more and more outstanding. Jieyu, after you become a Saint, you will also be a female Saint, and you will definitely be more beautiful." Ye Futian revealed a smirk.
Just thinking about it made him excited.
Hua Jieyu stepped on Ye Futian's foot. This guy was already a Palace Lord, what was he thinking?
Ye Futian's smile was meaningful. What a wonderful life.
Raising his head, he looked above the void. In this case, other than the Chess Saint, the representatives of the Eastern State had actually all arrived. One of the two Saints of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had come was enough.
Moreover, the nine disciples of the Chess Saint were also on Xihua Sacred Mountain.
The presence of the Saints of the Eastern State was probably to show the importance of the Nine State Forum. After all, the Eastern State was the host of this year's Nine State Forum, and it was normal for them to come personally. The Saints of the other states would probably not attend.
The Great Zhou Sacred King, the Sky Saint, and the Glass Saint stepped into Xihua Sacred Mountain, and then the figure above the 3,000 steps continued to speak loudly, "All holy lands of the Summer State, please come forth and enter the Sacred Mountain."
As his voice fell, in the crowd, several figures rose into the air at the same time. Each person had an extraordinary temperament. They looked at each other and then all walked forward.
Just as everyone had expected, no Saints from the Summer State came. They were led by top Sage Plane figures, and they were figures on the Sage and Saint Ranking of the Nine States.
Everyone faintly noticed that among the holy lands of the Summer State, there was a group of people in the lead, and the others gave way to them. However, when the saints of the Eastern State descended at the same time, it was not such a situation. They entered Xihua Sacred Mountain side by side.
"People from the Xia Clan." Everyone looked at the group of people at the front. Their temperament was extraordinary.
There had always been a rumor circulating in the Nine States that the Xia Clan was the descendant of Emperor Xia and inherited the bloodline of Emperor Xia. However, they were only one of the branches and were highly respected in the Summer State. Of course, although this rumor was widespread, it had never been confirmed. After all, Emperor Xia had never mentioned it, and the people of the Xia Clan had never said so.
But judging from the Xia family's status in the Summer State and the attitude of the holy lands towards the Summer State, this matter was very likely to be true.
"All the Holy Lands of the Qi Province, please show yourselves and enter the Holy Mountain."
"All the sacred grounds of the Yunzhou, please show up and enter the Sacred Mountain."
"All holy lands of War State, please come forth and enter the Sacred Mountain."
"The representatives of the holy lands of the Feng Province are invited to enter the Sacred Mountain."
"All the sacred grounds of the Ocean State, please come forth and enter the Sacred Mountain."
"All the sacred grounds of the Yu State, please come forth and enter the Sacred Mountain."
Voices pierced through the air and spread to the foot of Xihua Sacred Mountain. It was a grand occasion for all nine states to be present. Mighty ones stepped into the air and entered the Sacred Mountain. They were all from the holy lands.
Those who were not from the holy lands were not qualified to enter the Sacred Mountain first. Only those from the holy lands of the Nine States were qualified to attend and watch the Nine State Forum.
Seeing the mighty ones from the holy lands enter the Sacred Mountain, the crowd was excited. The grand event was about to begin.
"All the sacred grounds of the Barren State, please show up and enter the Sacred Mountain." Another voice was heard. Many people thought that the rumor was indeed true. For this Nine State Forum, Xihua Sacred Mountain had invited the Barren State, which had not participated in the Nine State Forum for a long time.
However, the Barren State was the last to be invited. They were probably just there to serve as a foil.
At that moment, in the crowd, Sage Wanxiang, Yuan Hong, Zhuge Qingfeng, and the others beside Ye Futian were slightly displeased, but they did not say anything. A cold look flashed in Yu Sheng's eyes.
"Jieyu, we'll be going first," Ye Futian said to Hua Jieyu. Hua Jieyu had also decided to participate in this year's Nine State Forum. She had a saint within her to guide her, but she still wanted to gain more experience and move forward.
"Yu Sheng, Wuchen, Seventh Brother, Yuan Zhan, Xu Que, all of you, good luck." Ye Futian looked at those who were preparing to participate in the Nine State Forum and said with a smile. Everyone nodded. Ye Futian's group then took to the air and headed for Xihua Sacred Mountain.
Many people's eyes fell on Ye Futian's group. Are these people from the Barren State?
