Ye Futian took a look at the Great Zhou Sacred King. The Sacred King had a smile in his eyes, but there was a faint aura of a king emanating from him. Among the saints, he looked the least approachable.
After all, he was the king of the sacred dynasty, in charge of a region with great power. One word from him could decide the fate of thousands of people.
"My cultivation is low, and I have only just entered the Sage Plane. I dare not speak of my strength in front of all the seniors," Ye Futian said humbly.
The Great Zhou Sacred King looked at him. He was naturally able to tell that the young Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace was not as humble as he appeared to be. On the contrary, judging from the behavior of Yu Sheng and the others, Ye Futian was an extremely arrogant person.
He said that if Yu Sheng could not enter the top ten, he was willing to give a divine implement to Xihua Sacred Mountain. He did not understand before, but now he naturally understood how arrogant he was.
He thought that Yu Sheng, a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace, would be able to enter the top ten.
The Great Zhou Sacred King was also an arrogant person. He had been so since he was young, so he could feel that Ye Futian was the same kind of person as him.
It was just that he was still young and had not fully grown.
"You should know that I am not just talking about planes." The Great Zhou Sacred King looked at Ye Futian and smiled. "Excessive humility is hypocrisy."
Many people looked at the Great Zhou Sacred King and saw that he still had a casual smile on his face. A strange look flashed in Ye Futian's eyes, then he smiled and nodded. "You are right, Sacred King."
Behind the Great Zhou Sacred King, Zhou Ziyi looked at Ye Futian coldly. She also felt that Ye Futian was very hypocritical, pretending to be humble and polite. Now that he had been taught a lesson, he could only accept it.
"The Barren State has no saints and is ranked last in the Nine States. Therefore, outstanding talents are even rarer. Therefore, when this generation of people from the Barren State explodes together, it seems even more impactful," another cultivator said. Many nodded, naturally understanding this logic. It was precisely because everyone had looked down on the Barren State before, and now, the rise of the Barren State had created such a strong contrast, shocking everyone.
"Let's look at the battle of the top hundred in the Nine State Forum first. The Barren State has seven people, the most of all the holy lands. Can these seven people enter the top ten?"
"If I were to enter the top ten, I'm afraid that Senior Sage will have to prepare another Sage artifact." Saint Xihua looked at Ye Futian plainly, then smiled and said, "Let's continue drinking. Feel free to do as you please."
The banquet continued, and the atmosphere was quite lively. However, in reality, the people of the holy lands of the Nine States all had their own thoughts.
Now, everyone was probably looking forward to the Battle of the Top Hundred on the Nine State Forum, hoping that their holy lands would be able to stand at the top.
Ye Futian and the others were still in their own circle. The cultivators of the Barren State seemed rather gloomy, as if they were out of place.
They understood that the Barren State's lack of saints was the original sin. All the holy lands of the Nine States were above them.
But for many of the mighty ones from the Barren State, being able to sit here and witness Ye Futian leading the Barren State's young geniuses to rise on the Nine State Forum was enough to make them feel gratified.
Now, perhaps the Barren State just lacked some time.
As the atmosphere of the banquet relaxed, many people walked down from their seats to toast and chat. Ye Futian remained sitting where he was. At this time, a group of people walked towards him, and the person in the lead was Liu Zong. He walked up to him with a glass of wine and said with a smile, "A toast to Palace Lord Ye."
Ye Futian smiled and raised his glass. The two drank in one gulp. Behind Liu Zong was the disciple of the Chess Saint. Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Palace Lord Ye has led the Barren State's disciples to shine in the Nine State Forum. Congratulations."
"Senior, you flatter me," Ye Futian said. He looked at Jiu Gongzi at the back of the crowd and said, "Jiu Gongzi, we meet again."
Jiu Gongzi shrugged. He quite liked Ye Futian's personality. This person was easygoing, free and uninhibited, and he was extremely serious when cultivating. He had seen how Ye Futian learned chess back then, but it was a pity that his master had chosen Liu Zong instead of Ye Futian.
"Clan Lord Ye, you can consider my proposal from the Chess Saint Villa," Liu Zong said with a smile.
"I have thought about it very clearly," Ye Futian replied.
"Very well." Liu Zong raised his glass and then turned to leave.
At this time, another figure came over. This person was dressed in a golden robe, embroidered with a golden phoenix, looking extremely luxurious. He walked to Ye Futian's side and said, "I am Zhou Ya of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. I will have the opportunity to experience Palace Lord Ye's talent."
Many people looked over. Liu Zong and Zhou Ya were both sages. One was someone valued by the three saints of Xihua Sacred Mountain and was known as a future saint.
As for Zhou Ya, he was also extremely outstanding. It was said that it was very likely that he would be the successor of the Great Zhou Sacred King of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
Both of them walked to Ye Futian's side. It seemed that they were very curious about Ye Futian.
Not only them, but the people who came to the Nine State Forum were not just top notch nobles and geniuses. Many geniuses of the Sage Plane from various holy lands were also present. They were all very interested in the geniuses of other holy lands, especially those who had missed out on the Nine State Forum.
After the banquet ended, the people of the Nine States left. Ye Futian and the others also went down the mountain and returned to their residences in Huatian City.
Huatian City was bustling with activity at the moment. Everyone was talking about the top 100 and the battles that were about to take place. There were even gambling houses that had opened up the odds for the top 10 of the top 100, especially for the first place of the Nine State Forum. The people were most enthusiastic about it.
Those who watched the Nine State Forum were all guessing who would stand at the top of the Nine State Forum.
Xihua Sacred Mountain's Hua Yunshu?
Or the genius of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, Zhou You?
Or perhaps that peerless figure of the Xia Clan.
Of course, the Qi Clan, the Vajra Region, the Hall of Holy Light, and the Yue Clan all had at least one extremely powerful figure in their ranks. These people all had the potential to reach the pinnacle of the Nine State Forum. Until the final battle, one could only guess. Everyone had different opinions.
Other than that, there was another person who was frequently mentioned, and that was the Barren State's Holy Zhi Palace's Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng had crushed his opponents in every battle. Although he was from the Barren State, until now, no one had been able to see how strong he really was.
Could he really enter the top ten of the Nine State Forum as Ye Futian had hoped?
The top ten. There were nearly 30 holy lands in the Nine States fighting for the top ten. One could imagine how difficult it would be. No one dared to say that they had absolute confidence. Even though Yu Sheng had shown an extremely powerful side, no one dared to say that he had the ability to enter the top ten. They could only say that such a possibility existed.
In the anticipation of countless people, three days seemed to pass by extremely slowly.
In a palace, Ye Futian and the people of the Barren State were gathered together, preparing to set off.
Ye Futian looked up at the sky, then looked at the figures in front of him. He looked around at Yu Sheng and the others, and said with a smile, "Are you confident?"
The next battles of the top hundred would be battles between the strong. There were almost no weaklings, and no battle would be easy. Of the seven, how many would be able to last until the end?
Even Ye Futian himself was not sure. Although he knew that after coming out of the Sage Hall, there were no weaklings among them, but the top hundred were the strongest figures from all the holy lands of the Nine States. There were no weaklings either.
It all depended on who was stronger.
"We'll just have to take it one step at a time." Xu Que was still nonchalant. Confidence was a useless thing.
They naturally all thought that they were strong, but that did not mean that others were not.
Ye Futian glared at this guy. What a Buddhist.
"Seventh Brother, don't lose the prestige of the Cottage," Ye Futian said to Yi Xiaoshi with a smile. Ye Futian smiled at Yi Xiaoshi. The fat man pouted and said, "Yu Sheng is also half a Cottage disciple."
Anyway, with Yu Sheng at the front, he was not under much pressure.
"Yu Sheng?" Ye Futian glanced at the burly figure standing there and said with a smile, "The people of the Nine States are all proud and think highly of the geniuses of their own holy lands. Then, let's give them a surprise."
He was naturally not worried about Yu Sheng, but he hoped that the others could also reach the front.
"No matter what, the Barren State will not be weaker than any other state in this year's Nine State Forum. That is enough," Sage Wanxiang said. His goal was very simple. The Barren State was looked down upon by the Nine States. He only hoped that the Barren State would not be weaker than the other states. As for the others, they needed time to move forward step by step. It was not something that could be done in a day.
"Of course not." Ye Futian said, "Alright, it's almost time. Let's go."
Everyone nodded, and then a group of people flashed out, heading in the direction of Xihua Sacred Mountain.
At the foot of Xihua Sacred Mountain, countless people gathered, walking up the stairs.
Today, all of Huatian City was boiling, and the cultivators had gathered.
The final battle of the top hundred in the Nine State Forum was about to begin.
When Ye Futian and the others arrived, many people had already arrived. The cultivators of the Nine States took their seats one after another.
They were still sitting in the same position as yesterday. Behind Ye Futian and the others, there was a burst of discussion. All of them were talking about the battle of the top hundred.
"The people of the Barren State are here. I heard that three days ago, Saint Xihua held a banquet. At the banquet, the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian, played an Imperial Anthem. Moreover, Huang Jiuge, a student of the Holy Zhi Palace, challenged and defeated Qin Zhong of Zhisheng Cliffs."
"I've heard about it too. Zhisheng Cliffs has been thoroughly humiliated this time. The younger generation of the Barren State is indeed exceptional. If Yu Sheng can get a place in the top ten, then this trip would be a success."
"Indeed, if he can get into the top ten, Saint Xihua promised to apologize. However, although Yu Sheng is very strong, it is still very difficult to get into the top ten. Let's see how much strength he has hidden."
Everyone was talking, and many voices drilled into Ye Futian's ears. He smiled faintly.
Yu Sheng, the top ten?
The people of the Nine States would remember Yu Sheng's name after this battle.
In the opposite direction, Saint Xihua led the cultivators of Xihua Sacred Mountain, and the holy lands of the Summer State followed, coming together.
The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, the Glass Saint, the Sky Saint, and the others all came from the void and sat in the east. Many people became excited.
The top battle of the Nine State Forum was about to begin!
