In the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty of the Eastern State, the majestic Golden Phoenix Hall stood between heaven and earth.
At this moment, outside the Golden Phoenix Hall, on the hundreds of feet of stairs, the Great Zhou Sacred King wore a golden phoenix robe. His long black hair fell to his shoulders and he stood with his hands behind his back. A proud aura bloomed from him.
Below him, on the stairs carved with the image of the phoenix, stood many mighty ones. They were all top-notch sages from all over the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
Below the stairs, there were many square matrices, like armies, standing there.
The world was silent. Everyone's eyes were on the Great Zhou Sacred King, obeying his orders.
"How many forces have not arrived?" the Great Zhou Sacred King asked.
"Reporting to the Sacred King, the Black Thunder Clan and the Flying Snow Sword Clan have not arrived yet. There are other nobles who need to gather people, so they are a little late, but they are already preparing," someone reported.
"Tell them to arrive within a month, or they don't have to come," the Great Zhou Sacred King said. Just as the people of the Holy Zhi Palace had guessed, the Holy Zhi Palace was only a holy land for cultivation, while the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty was a dynasty and had absolute sovereignty.
The Great Zhou Sacred King was the absolute ruler of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. No one dared to disobey him.
"Yes," someone said.
"Also, there is news from the Barren State. Many forces from the Barren State are heading to the Holy Zhi Palace to provide support. Should we intervene?" someone reported.
"No need," the Great Zhou Sacred King said. "If they want to stop us, then we'll destroy them all."
"Yes."
No one was surprised. They had heard that when Zhisheng Cliffs was in the Barren State, they had used some methods to unite the forces of the Barren State. However, the Great Zhou Sacred King was a ruler. With his spirit, he did not bother to use methods like Kong Yao of Zhisheng Cliffs.
Whoever dared to participate would be destroyed.
When the Great Zhou Sacred King was angry, blood would dye the Barren State red.
"This time, there are many sages and few nobles. However, I not only need the army of sages, but also the army of nobles," the Great Zhou Sacred King said. Everyone's hearts trembled. The Great Zhou Sacred King was going to level the Barren State from the sages to the nobles, completely razing the Holy Zhi Palace.
The nobles were the reserve power. If the nobles were destroyed, the Barren State would be completely reduced to a barren land and would not have a chance to rise again.
"Yes, Saint King." Everyone obeyed the order. In truth, the various principalities had their own considerations. After all, this was a Sacred War, and casualties were inevitable. Even if they were able to flatten the Barren State, many of them would die. As such, they tried not to bring the younger generation with them. However, it was obvious that the Great Zhou Sacred King did not agree and asked them to bring the Noble Plane army.
All of this could only be blamed on that idiot Ye Futian. So what if he was a genius? Geniuses who did not rise to prominence were ultimately nothing. Angering a Holy King was akin to digging his own grave.
"A month from now, we will gather here again and march on the Barren State," the Great Zhou Sacred King said and turned to leave.
"Farewell, Sage King."
Everyone bowed and paid their respects. They only dispersed after the Great Zhou Sacred King had disappeared.
The Great Zhou Sacred King came to a bedchamber. The bedchamber was extremely luxurious and was named the Lapis Lazuli Palace. It was the bedchamber of the Great Zhou Sacred King's favorite concubine, Si. Other than some maids, no one was allowed to set foot in there.
Even many who were close to the Sacred King had never seen her before. They only speculated that Si must have been a peerless beauty whose beauty was unparalleled in the world, causing the Great Zhou Sacred King to be infatuated with her.
At that moment, in the Lapis Lazuli Palace, a woman dressed in extremely luxurious clothes that looked like lapis lazuli, yet thin as cicada's wings. It was barely discernible, and one could vaguely see the woman's flawless figure.
"Sacred King." The woman walked forward. Her slender legs and faintly discernible skin were all full of temptation. Her eyes seemed to be able to seduce one's soul.
However, the Great Zhou Sacred King simply stood there and looked at her quietly. If anyone from the outside had seen her, they would have been able to see that the woman's appearance bore some resemblance to the number one beauty of the Eastern State, the Glass Saint. Furthermore, her hair and hair accessories were all very similar to the Glass Saint's. It was just that she lacked the dignified and saintly bearing of the Glass Saint, and had more of a bewitching charm.
No matter how similar they were and how beautiful they were, she was still not the Glass Saint. She was just a substitute.
The woman leaned against the Great Zhou Sacred King. Her fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and her hot body was enough to make one's blood boil. However, the Great Zhou Sacred King remained calm. He looked into her eyes, then picked her up by the waist with one hand and walked towards the bed.
When the Barren State was destroyed and the secret of the Sword Matrix of the Void was obtained, he would be able to take control of the number one matrix in the Nine States. He would definitely complete his unfulfilled wish.
Even though he already had the world in his hands, there was still an obsession in his heart. This obsession had caused his cultivation to stagnate for a very long time, unable to improve.
This obsession was to obtain the number one beauty of the Eastern State, the Glass Saint.
…
In the Holy Zhi Palace, there was a training ground. Ye Futian stood high up in the sky, watching the people training below.
The Sword Demon and Xu Shang were training there with several cultivators from the Sword Palace and several top swordsmen from the Tingxue House. Other than that, there was also a swordsman at the pinnacle of the Sage Plane from Tombkeeper Village.
They were training in a sword matrix, and the Village Chief and Yang Xiao were personally guiding them.
There were nine people in total, and the weakest among them was at the lower level of the Sage Plane. Among them, there were three upper level Sages, four middle level Sages, and two lower level Sages.
They each stood in a corner, vaguely forming a formation. In the middle of them, there was a huge sword. That was the Holy Sword. A sword diagram appeared in the surroundings, and in every corner of the sword diagram, there was a true ritual implement sword, clanging and humming.
All of the swords were top Sage ritual implements, and they had all been gifted by You Chi.
As they trained, the sword diagram grew brighter and brighter. Beams of sword light shot into the sky, and the sword aura between the heavens and the earth gathered in a frenzy. It was extremely beautiful.
The sword matrix came from nine sword diagrams, and it was perfect for the nine swordsmen to train in. With the help of the Divine Swords and the many top Sage ritual implements, they would be able to bring out astonishing power.
In this Sacred War, there was no need to think about the number of cultivators. They would definitely be at a disadvantage. As such, they could only strengthen their power and try their best to bring out the power of each cultivator.
Yang Xiao's body flashed and he came to Ye Futian's side. He said, "They are all top cultivators, and their comprehension is extraordinary. They should be able to quickly and flexibly control the changes of the sword matrix. Let's go to other places and see."
"Thank you," Ye Futian said. Among them, Yang Xiao, he, and the Village Chief were good at matrices. The Chess Saint was the number one in matrices in the Nine States, and Yang Xiao was his eldest disciple. Coupled with his mastery of matrices, in terms of matrices, they would certainly have an advantage over the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
In war, one had to make use of one's advantages in battle and bring them to their greatest effect.
As such, he had Yang Xiao mainly responsible for teaching the Sage Plane battle matrices, while Jiu Gongzi was responsible for the Noble Plane.
The two of them walked in the air, and Ye Futian said, "The people of Xihua Sacred Mountain have also arrived in the Barren State. They are in Zhongzhou City, and Liu Zong is also there."
"Mm." Yang Xiao nodded calmly, as if Liu Zong was just a strange name.
"Now that the Barren State is facing a Sacred War, they can't even protect themselves. It is impossible for them to deal with Liu Zong," Ye Futian said honestly. He knew why Yang Xiao had followed him to the Barren State to train.
Yang Xiao knew, and he also hated Liu Zong. Only by joining forces with Ye Futian would he have a chance in the future.
"No need to say more, I understand," Yang Xiao said. Yang Xiao said. It was probably not just Liu Zong who was behind all of this. Xihua Sacred Mountain was also behind it.
Now, there was only one thing he needed to do, and that was to win this Sacred War for the Barren State, so that the Holy Zhi Palace could stand tall and rise in the Nine States, until it surpassed Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
At that time, he could get his revenge.
In this situation, he would not mention the word revenge.
"Futian." At that moment, a figure came. Ye Futian turned his eyes and looked in one direction, and saw a beautiful figure coming towards him.
"Phoenix," Ye Futian called.
"My master is here," Phoenix said.
Ye Futian was stunned, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Phoenix."
With the Undying Old Man, the Barren State could reduce some casualties.
As long as they did not die on the spot, with the Undying Old Man's mastery of rules, there was a chance to save them.
This was crucial for the Sacred War.
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Phoenix said calmly.
"Yes, we're all family." Ye Futian smiled and said, "Come with me to see how my master and the others are doing. After that, I'll go with you to pay a visit to the elders."
"Alright."
Phoenix nodded. They came to another place of cultivation, where Sage Douzhan, Sage Jingang, Yuan Hong, and other physically strong people were cultivating.
There were even more people here, 36 cultivators, and they cultivated in martial arts matrices.
This matrix was called the Heavenly Battle Matrix, which could gather the power of 36 people into one, turning it into a super strong Heavenly Battle Qi. The three core cultivators controlled the explosive power, and the power was amazing, with attack and defense in one.
Almost all the top figures of the Battle Sage Palace, the Golden Apes, and other top figures were there, as well as several cultivators from Tombkeeper Village who were good at physical strength, forming the Heavenly Battle Matrix.
Sage Douzhan, Yuan Hong, any one of them could shake the heavens and earth when they fought. Ye Futian was looking forward to how strong the Heavenly Battle Matrix formed by 36 cultivators would be.
Next, there was Sage Daozang.
After watching for a while, Ye Futian and Phoenix left, leaving Yang Xiao to guide the cultivation of matrices.
Ye Futian returned to the Holy Sage Pavilion, and Sage Wanxiang was receiving the Undying Old Man.
"Senior." Ye Futian walked up and greeted him with a smile. He was indebted to the Undying Old Man. Last time when Hua Jieyu was unconscious, it was the Undying Old Man who treated her.
The Undying Old Man looked at Ye Futian and said with a smile, "It seems that I was right to let Phoenix come to the Holy Zhi Palace to cultivate. She is extraordinarily talented, and I am afraid that following me will delay her cultivation. Now that she can travel the Nine States with you, I am relieved. Now, I only hope that we can survive this."
Obviously, he also knew about the Nine State Forum.
"Seniors, you have come from all over the Barren State, which makes me more confident. The Holy Zhi Palace will definitely be able to defeat the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty," Ye Futian said.
"The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty has gathered all the forces in the territory of the Sacred Dynasty. We can't be too careless." At this time, a figure came from afar. Ye Futian looked into the distance and saw a group of people coming their way, and he smiled again.
"Palace Lord Yun is here, which makes me even more confident," Ye Futian said with a smile. The person who came was the lord of the Ice Temple. She had brought the Ice Temple's cultivators to support them, and Yun Shuisheng was beside her!
