The Barren State, the Holy Zhi Palace.
In the void, a group of figures came over, and behind them, the cultivators of the Thousand Holy Islands followed.
The Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian, had returned.
Moreover, they already knew that the Barren State had achieved extremely brilliant results in the Nine State Forum and was known as the first in the Nine States.
Yu Sheng had taken first place in the Nine State Forum, the top 100, and the top 50. The Barren State was extremely dazzling.
When the people who went to participate in the Nine State Forum returned and brought the news to the Barren State, the Barren State was already in an uproar. Many people who had doubted Ye Futian had also abandoned their thoughts.
He was the first in the Nine States, and Yu Sheng would also become a Saint in the future.
The old Palace Lord's choice was not wrong. Ye Futian could lead the Holy Zhi Palace to new heights.
"The Palace Lord is back."
At this time, within the Holy Zhi Palace, many voices came out, and suddenly many figures rose into the air. Some of the young disciples showed fanatical admiration. This was a youth of the same age as them, but when they were still cultivating in the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian had already led the people of the Holy Zhi Palace to compete with the geniuses of the Nine States.
"Greetings, Palace Lord," many people said.
Ye Futian looked down and nodded slightly to the crowd. Sage Wanxiang and the others beside him saw this scene and felt gratified. Now, Ye Futian's reputation in the Holy Zhi Palace had reached another height. It was no longer like when he had just become the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, where there were many doubts.
"Who are those people?" Many people noticed the people from Tombkeeper Village, who followed behind Ye Futian in a mighty manner.
There was even an old man standing almost next to Ye Futian, and even Sage Wanxiang and Zhuge Qingfeng stood behind him.
In the world of cultivation, such details often made people think deeply.
Many times, standing was a symbol of status.
At this time, a few more figures came through the air. It was Sage Douzhan, the Sword Demon, and Sage Daozang. They walked over with smiles.
The mighty cultivators welcomed them as if they were welcoming the triumphant return of a hero.
However, at this time, Ye Futian did not feel the joy of victory. On the contrary, he was slightly solemn. This trip to the Eastern State had been fruitful, but at the same time, they would face an unprecedented strong enemy, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
"Master, Uncle-Master." Ye Futian shouted, "Gather everyone in the Holy Zhi Palace. I have something to announce."
Sage Douzhan and the Sword Demon's eyes flashed. They seemed to have sensed the strangeness in Ye Futian's tone. They looked at Sage Wanxiang and Zhuge Qingfeng and understood that something big might have happened.
"Alright." They immediately nodded and left. They began to gather the cultivators of the Holy Zhi Palace and even the Island Lords of the Thousand Holy Islands.
Not long after, Ye Futian and the others stood quietly on the majestic steps of the Holy Sage Pavilion in the Holy Zhi Palace, staring at the figures that continued to gather. Everyone from the Holy Zhi Palace had gathered at an extremely fast speed, and it was a mighty sight to behold.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people arrived. Ye Futian took a step forward and gestured to the crowd. Suddenly, everyone quietened down.
"A year ago, I brought the people of the Barren State to the Eastern State for training. Something happened there, and I'm sure you've all heard about it. In the Nine State Forum, the disciples of the Barren State achieved extremely brilliant results. The people of the Barren State are no weaker than any other state in the Nine States," Ye Futian said. Zhu Rang saw Ye Futian's sharp gaze and clenched his fists slightly. The Nine State Forum this time had indeed strengthened their beliefs.
The Barren State had not been in contact with the Nine States for many years. Because there was no saint, many people belittled themselves and admitted that they were not as good as others. When Zhisheng Cliffs of the Yu State came, Qin Zhong was so dazzling that even the Holy Zhi Palace seemed somewhat humble before Zhisheng Cliffs. There were even many forces that directly attached themselves to Zhisheng Cliffs.
However, Ye Futian's appearance changed everything and proved something.
"Of course, I've gathered you here today not to show off the results of the disciples of the Barren State in the Nine State Forum, but to announce a few things," Ye Futian continued, looking at the Village Chief.
The old Village Chief took a step forward. Suddenly, countless people looked at him, trying to guess his identity.
"The Village Chief of Tombkeeper Village of the Eastern State is of the Saint Plane. Now, he has led Tombkeeper Village into the Holy Zhi Palace and has been named a Holy Elder," Ye Futian said. Ye Futian said. His voice was very calm, but his words made the hearts of countless people tremble.
Saint.
This old man was a legendary cultivator of the Saint Plane.
Moreover, he was going to enter the Holy Zhi Palace?
Even the Sword Demon and Sage Douzhan felt their hearts tremble. Although they felt that he was extraordinary, they did not expect him to be of the Saint Plane.
"Palace Lord, the Saint Plane?" Someone asked with a trembling voice. Ye Futian looked at the Village Chief, and in an instant, the Village Chief's temperament suddenly changed. A divine pressure swept out, and in that instant, there seemed to be a pressure of the Great Path descending between heaven and earth, shrouding everyone.
At that moment, in every corner of the Holy Zhi Palace, this divine pressure could be felt.
"It really is a saint." Many people had fanatical expressions. Ye Futian had brought a cultivator of the Saint Plane to the Barren State.
"You can all greet the Holy Elder," Ye Futian said. Suddenly, everyone reacted, bowed and shouted, "Greetings, Holy Elder."
The Barren State's dream for many years, the efforts of several generations, was to cast a saint into the world. But today, a cultivator of the Saint Plane appeared in front of them, appointed as the Holy Elder. One could imagine how strong the impact on them was.
Even the Sword Demon and Sage Douzhan walked out and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Holy Elder."
Even top sages had to bow when they saw a saint.
Saint was not just a plane, it was also a symbol of status.
"In addition, the Holy Zhi Palace will establish the Void Palace. The Holy Elder will be the Palace Lord of the Void Palace, and everyone in Tombkeeper Village will be disciples of the Void Palace," Ye Futian continued. Tombkeeper Village was the bloodline of the Sword Saint of the Void, so Ye Futian named it after the Void Palace.
Everyone took a deep breath. Not only was there a Holy Elder, but there was also a special palace. Obviously, what the Palace Lord said was not empty words. This cultivator of the Saint Plane really planned to cultivate in the Holy Zhi Palace.
How did the Palace Lord do it?
"Senior Yang." At this time, Ye Futian looked at another person. Yang Xiao stepped out, and many people were curious. Who was this?
The Palace Lord called him senior.
"Yang Xiao, the City Lord of Yujing City in the Eastern State, a cultivator of the Sage and Saint Ranking of the Nine States. He brought some people from Yujing City here, and they will also cultivate in the Holy Zhi Palace. Therefore, the Holy Zhi Palace will establish the Matrix Palace, and Senior Yang Xiao will be the Palace Lord. The Matrix Palace will focus on matrices, and in the future, people of the Barren State with extraordinary talent in matrices can enter the Matrix Palace to cultivate," Ye Futian continued to announce.
Everyone's heart trembled again. The cultivators of the Sage and Saint Ranking of the Nine States were at the peak of the Saint Plane, enough to be ranked at the top of the Barren Sky Ranking.
The Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State had greatly increased in strength, and it was comparable to some of the real holy lands of the Nine States.
"This is all good news. Next, I have bad news to announce." Ye Futian saw the excited people continue to speak, and suddenly everyone looked at Ye Futian.
The Sword Demon and Sage Douzhan's expressions flashed. Ye Futian had returned with a saint, but he was still very serious. It was obvious that the bad news must be extremely terrible.
"The Holy Zhi Palace may very well go to war with the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty of the Eastern State in the future. As such, all of you should be mentally prepared. This battle may be a matter of life and death, or even the very existence of the Holy Zhi Palace. This is not an exaggeration." Ye Futian's voice was heard, and the excited crowd felt their hearts sink.
Ye Futian paused for a moment and did not continue to speak. After everyone had digested it, he continued, "This battle is a matter of life and death, and I will not force you. Therefore, I will give everyone some time. Before the battle begins, you can choose to leave the Holy Zhi Palace. From then on, you will no longer be a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace, and will not be affected by this battle. However, once the battle is announced, you must strictly follow orders. Those who leave the Holy Zhi Palace will be considered deserters, and their cultivation will be destroyed."
Extreme times called for extreme measures. This Sacred War would also be a baptism for the Holy Zhi Palace.
This was the same idea he had when selecting people to enter the Sage Hall to cultivate. When the Sacred War began, only those who were truly willing to advance and retreat with the Holy Zhi Palace would be left, and those who were not determined would be eliminated. Even if these people were forced to stay, it would be meaningless, and it would even have the opposite effect.
"Today, I will choose these few pieces of news. Disperse," Ye Futian said, then turned and walked away, leaving behind countless shocked cultivators of the Holy Zhi Palace.
Ye Futian's few short words made an extremely strong impact on their hearts, and this feeling was indescribable.
The Holy Zhi Palace had finally produced a saint, but the Holy Zhi Palace would be going to war with the holy land of the Eastern State.
Sage Douzhan and the Sword Demon followed behind Ye Futian, and the Sword Demon asked, "Is it really that serious?"
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. "Uncle-Master, I will leave the matters here to you. I will leave the Holy Elder and Palace Lord Yang to you. I am a little tired these days, and I want to rest. If you have any questions, ask Uncle-Master Wanxiang. Next, just wait for the news."
"Alright." Sage Douzhan nodded. "We will take care of things here. You can go now."
"Thank you, Master," Ye Futian said with a smile, then Jieyu and the others left.
Ye Futian and Yu Sheng returned to their residence and saw a group of people standing there quietly, waiting.
Yi Qingxuan walked to Yu Sheng's side, stood on her toes, and straightened his clothes, then smiled at Ye Futian and said, "Did my Yu Sheng make you proud?"
"Of course, look at whose man he is," Ye Futian replied with a smile. In the Holy Zhi Palace, only those closest to him did not see him as the Palace Lord.
"You must be tired." Nandou Wenyin looked at Ye Futian with gentle eyes.
"Masteress, I am fine." Ye Futian smiled and nodded.
"When I agreed to become the Palace Lord, I was destined to face all this," Hua Fengliu said softly. He understood, of course, that Ye Futian had agreed to become the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace after careful consideration. It was not just power, but a truly arduous task. With no saints in the Barren State, he had to shoulder a mission and responsibility.
"Master is right. Since I have chosen this path, I will naturally move forward." Ye Futian nodded. He looked at Loulan Xue beside him and said, "Thank you."
Loulan Xue was taking care of Hua Fengliu and Nandou Wenyin. She shook her head gently.
"Brother Futian." At this time, a voice was heard. Ye Futian turned and saw Long Ling 'er and Mu Zhiqiu walking over. The two were Ye Futian's good friends. The people of the Holy Zhi Palace knew about them, so the guards naturally did not stop them from coming.
Ye Futian saw Long Ling 'er. This girl was already 20 years old and looked more and more beautiful.
Seeing her, Ye Futian could not help but think of Yaya. When he met Ling 'er, she was the same age as Yaya.
However, she was a little luckier than Yaya. Although her uncle was not around, she still had parents who spoiled her like a princess. Yaya, on the other hand, was even more pitiful.
Thinking of this, his hatred for the Great Zhou Sacred King grew even stronger.
He rubbed Long Ling 'er's head as she walked up to him. Long Ling' er glared at him out of habit, but she did not break away, allowing him to play with her hair.
"Have you been cultivating well?" Ye Futian asked.
"Of course, Brother Futian. I'm very powerful now." Long Ling 'er was a little proud.
"You can be proud." Ye Futian smiled and said, "Ling 'er, go home. Don't come to the Holy Zhi Palace for a while."
"No." Long Ling 'er shook her head and looked at Ye Futian. "Brother Futian, as the Palace Lord, you can't be biased."
"You little girl …" Ye Futian knocked her head. This girl was really too smart. There was nothing he could do about her.
"Zhiqiu, when can you get on the Law Rank?" Ye Futian looked at Mu Zhiqiu and asked with a smile.
"I …" Mu Zhiqiu was stunned, then smiled bitterly. She had fought with Ye Futian before. Now, all that Ye Futian had done was something she could only look up to. He had gone too fast.
"Stop teasing me," Mu Zhiqiu said.
"You're very talented. It's only a matter of time." Ye Futian smiled and said. Mu Zhiqiu did not say anything else.
"Loulan, get someone to prepare a banquet. I haven't had a good meal in a long time." Ye Futian smiled and said. Loulan Xue nodded lightly. The group enjoyed a peaceful banquet.
In the outside world, Ye Futian's words caused a huge uproar.
Everything that Ye Futian had done spread to the Barren State. After a few days, the Barren State was shaken.
Ye Futian had killed a Saint.
Even with the help of a matrix, he had still killed a Saint. That was a legendary figure, and the young leader of the Holy Zhi Palace had killed a legendary figure that the Barren State had to look up to.
The Sovereign Family of Zhongzhou City, Tingxue House, the Zhuge Family of the Northern Region, Alchemy School of the Southern Region, and many other top forces were all shaken after hearing the news.
This time, the Barren State would face an unprecedented storm.
Ye Futian and the others cultivated quietly. He was waiting for news.
After a month, finally, in the sky above the Holy Zhi Palace, a group of dignified figures appeared. They came directly to the sky above the Holy Sage Pavilion.
Ye Futian led many people into the air and looked at the people in the sky.
"Where is Ye Futian?" someone asked in the air.
"Who is it?" Ye Futian asked.
"The Nine States Supervising Inspector," the person in the air said. Ye Futian's eyes flashed. They're finally here.
"I wonder why the Supervising Inspector is here?" Ye Futian asked.
"The Great Zhou Sacred King reported to Emperor Xia that he wants to start a Sacred War. He said that if Palace Lord Ye is willing to go to the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty to repent and send Yaya and the Divine Sword to the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, the Sacred War can be avoided. Palace Lord Ye, do you want to fight or make peace?" the Supervising Inspector said.
As soon as he said this, the people of the Holy Zhi Palace all looked angry.
"How insolent." Several Palace Lords looked extremely ugly after hearing this.
Ye Futian stared at the Supervising Inspector in the air, his eyes sharp. He said, "Fight."
"Alright." The supervising inspector nodded. "From now on, a Sacred War is allowed between the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Holy Zhi Palace. The rules of the Sacred War are that cultivators of the Saint Plane can only fight against Saints and are not allowed to kill those below the Saint Plane. Those of the Sage Plane are not allowed to kill those below the Sage Plane. Family members of cultivators of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Holy Zhi Palace are not allowed to be killed. The Nine State Guards will monitor this Sacred War."
"Have you memorized everything?" the supervisor asked.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded.
"Farewell." The invigilator nodded, and the group left in a grandiose manner.
He was here to announce the start of the Holy War.
From this moment on, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Holy Zhi Palace could kill each other's people at will within the rules. As long as they did not violate the rules, there were no time, place, or method restrictions!
As for why such a rule was set, it was easy to understand. If a Sage could kill anyone below the Sage Realm, then both sides could kill everyone except the Sage Realm powerhouses!
