As the days passed, the Nine States watched the Sacred War.
In this war, the Holy Zhi Palace was likely to be destroyed, and the Barren State's holy land might be taken over.
However, if the Barren State's Holy Zhi Palace could defeat the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, then the rise of the Barren State would be unstoppable.
This Sacred War might change the history of the Nine States. It was a turning point, and it was very meaningful.
Therefore, the Nine States were secretly watching, and all the holy lands had sent cultivators to Zhongzhou City.
Of course, compared to the Nine States, some forces in the Barren State paid more attention to this Sacred War.
This Sacred War would directly affect the future of the Barren State.
For example, the Ximen Clan of Zhongzhou City, the Thunder Courtyard, the Mortal World of the East Region, Taixuan Mountain of the North Region, and other forces did not participate in this Sacred War.
After all, they did not participate in the storm. They also understood that in a sense, Ye Futian could become the leader of the Barren State because of the will of many top forces, such as Alchemy City, Tingxue House, the Sovereign Family, and so on. These forces had a very good relationship with Ye Futian, and they shared his glory.
However, the Ximen Clan did not have much of a relationship with Ye Futian. In this Sacred War of life and death, there was no need for them to participate and risk their lives for Ye Futian.
No matter how outstanding Ye Futian was, or how dazzling his achievements in the Nine State Forum, it had nothing to do with them.
But even if they did not want to participate in the war, it was inevitable that they would pay attention. After all, this directly affected the future of the Barren State.
At this time, in a courtyard of the Ximen Clan of Zhongzhou City, a group of people were discussing something.
"I heard some rumors outside that the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty has gathered an army of tens of thousands and is heading for the Barren State. In this Sacred War, the Holy Zhi Palace will not be able to survive. What do you think?" asked the leader of the Ximen Clan.
"Hanjiang used to cultivate in the Holy Zhi Palace. Ask him what he thinks." Someone looked at Ximen Hanjiang. Before, Ximen Hanjiang had chosen to leave the Holy Zhi Palace. This genius who had been first on the Law Rank for a short time not only did not become the pride of the Holy Zhi Palace, but on the contrary, he had a conflict with Ye Futian.
Naturally, he did not want to fight for Ye Futian.
"More than one in thirty cultivators from the Holy Zhi Palace have left, unwilling to participate in the battle. Even Ye Futian himself is not confident," Ximen Hanjiang said.
Everyone nodded. "The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's territory is boundless, and the forces within its borders are all under the control of the Sacred Dynasty. The top forces among them are definitely stronger than the top forces of the Barren State. Under such circumstances, the Holy Zhi Palace is bound to lose."
"Should we make some preparations?" Someone said, preparing for a rainy day. If the Holy Zhi Palace was destroyed and the holy land was taken away, what would the Barren State be like in the future?
Would the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty move against them?
"Let's wait and see. We haven't chosen a side yet. If we get involved rashly and make a wrong judgment, it will be fatal." "Furthermore, even if the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty were to take down the Holy Zhi Palace, we would still be one of the top forces in Zhongzhou City. As long as we pledge allegiance to the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, we would be fine."
Everyone nodded and said nothing more.
Not only the Ximen Clan, but many forces in the Barren State who did not participate in the war had also thought about this problem.
"Report." At that moment, someone shouted and sped towards them. The Ximen Clan leader asked, "What is it?"
"Clan leader, there is news from the outside world that the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's army has set foot in Zhongzhou City," the person who came said. Suddenly, everyone from the Ximen Clan had a sharp look in their eyes.
The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty had arrived.
Not only the XiMen Clan, all the major powers of the Central Continent City had received the news. Moreover, this news was spreading at an extremely fast speed, engulfing every corner of the Central Continent City. All the restaurants and inns were in a state of shock.
The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's army had arrived in Zhongzhou City.
The Sacred War was about to break out.
At that moment, in an extremely famous restaurant in Zhongzhou City, it was not far from the Holy Zhi Palace. If the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty were to rush to the Holy Zhi Palace, they would probably pass by this place.
As such, there were many people in the restaurant at that moment. Liu Zong of Xihua Sacred Mountain was here. Moreover, Xihua Sacred Mountain and Zhisheng Cliffs had unexpectedly met and appeared in the restaurant at the same time.
They had also received the news that the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's army had arrived and was heading here. It would not be long before they passed by here.
This time, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's army of tens of thousands was personally led by the Great Zhou Sacred King.
The Sacred King had personally led the army to start this Sacred War.
"They're here." At that moment, at the top of the restaurant, someone exclaimed.
"The army is here." Shocked voices rang out one after another. One figure after another broke through the air. Countless people came to the outside world and looked up into the distance.
There was an extremely shocking scene there.
Above the sky, golden light filled the sky. Everywhere it passed, it seemed to dye the sky a brilliant gold.
The army was divided into three layers. The lowest layer had the most people. Troops rode on the backs of great demons and traveled with the wind. This army was an army of nobles, but their mounts were sages. After all, the nobles were too slow.
The middle layer's cultivators were the army of sages. Their might was shocking and extremely overbearing.
The highest layer was the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's royal army, the Golden Phoenix Army, which was famous in the Eastern State.
Huge golden phoenixes appeared in the sky, blocking out the sun. The commanders of this Golden Phoenix Army were all top-notch sages, and they rode on golden phoenixes.
In the center of the Golden Phoenix Army, there was a golden phoenix with a crown. The phoenix's divine light was like lightning, and its eyes were extremely sharp. It was like the king of all birds, the head of the phoenix.
On its back was an extremely luxurious phoenix carriage. On both sides of the carriage were the royal family's disciples. Zhou Ya, Zhou You, and Zhou Ziyi were all there.
The Great Zhou Sacred King had many concubines, and many children had been born over the years.
The figure sitting in the carriage was naturally the Great Zhou Sacred King. He seemed to stand above all. Such a scene and such grandeur, not just in the Barren State, but even in the entire Nine States, there were few who could have such grandeur.
After all, the Great Zhou Sacred King was the ruler of the sacred dynasty. He was a ruler, not a clan.
The people of the Barren State had never seen such a scene before. When the army approached and passed over their heads, an unparalleled aura swept over them. That kind of majesty could be clearly felt even from far away.
"The Holy Zhi Palace is finished." Many people could not help but have this thought. The scene was too shocking.
Soon, the army passed in the void, leaving behind countless shocked people.
The people of Xihua Sacred Mountain and Zhisheng Cliffs watched quietly. Liu Zong smiled and said, "The Great Zhou Sacred King is indeed the Sacred King. How majestic. Let's go and have a look."
As soon as he said that, a group of people took to the air and followed, preparing to watch the battle in person.
They were not the only ones. The mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs, as well as many other mighty ones, followed the army. As such, an extremely dazzling scene was seen behind them. The mighty figures followed, forming a terrifying torrent that was even grander than the army of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
However, they seemed very scattered, not as orderly as the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's army.
At this time, everyone in the Holy Zhi Palace was still busy cultivating, and Ye Futian was cultivating in the Holy Sage Pavilion.
At this time, he raised his head slightly and looked into the distance, then levitated and came to the sky above the Holy Sage Pavilion. Many people looked up at him and saw that Ye Futian was getting higher and higher. He stood in the sky and said loudly, "Immediately gather the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace and prepare for battle."
As his voice fell, the hearts of many trembled. They knew what his words meant.
In an instant, one figure after another flew into the sky. The Palace Lords of the Holy Zhi Palace gave orders to the disciples to gather.
Soon, one figure after another flew into the sky from the Holy Zhi Palace and gathered into a torrent. Everyone gathered in the direction of the Holy Sage Pavilion.
Not long after, the Holy Zhi Palace and the cultivators from the top forces of the Barren State all gathered and looked at Ye Futian in the void.
"The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's army of tens of thousands has reached Zhongzhou City and is heading in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace," Ye Futian said. Although everyone had already guessed it, they still could not help but feel their hearts tremble.
Finally, it was here.
Many disciples, even if they were sages and nobles, were a little nervous at this moment. This was an unprecedented Sacred War that they had never faced before.
Ye Futian's eyes looked around at the people below, and his eyes were sharp. He said, "Today's battle will decide the life and death of the Holy Zhi Palace, and also the fate of the Barren State and all of you. All these years, the Barren State has been ostracized by the Nine States. When Zhisheng Cliffs came, they were arrogant and did not care about the Holy Zhi Palace or the Barren State. I left the Barren State to go to the Holy Zhi Palace, and this feeling became even stronger. Therefore, this battle of the Holy Zhi Palace is a battle of fate.
If we defeat the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, the Barren State will not be looked down upon from now on. "Of course, I am not blindly confident. The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty is the holy land of the Eastern State, and its strength is tyrannical. But I can only promise you that if we lose this battle, as long as the Holy Zhi Palace exists, I will survive. If the Holy Zhi Palace falls, I will die," Ye Futian continued. Everyone's hearts trembled. This was the conviction of fighting with their backs against the wall.
If they did not defeat the enemy, they would die in battle.
"However, I still hope that everyone can live with me. On the battlefield, killing the enemy is important, but staying alive is equally important. So no matter what happens in the battle, please maintain a strong enough belief and live on." Ye Futian said, "As long as you don't die, there is hope."
In the silent space, only Ye Futian's voice rang through the sky. Many people even thought that Ye Futian was only in his twenties, not even thirty, and yet he was shouldering an extremely heavy responsibility. The Sacred War was imminent, but he could still be so calm. Even many sages with high cultivation found it difficult to do so.
Ye Futian raised his head and looked into the distance. He suddenly smiled and said, "Back then, in the battle outside the Holy Zhi Palace, the entire Barren State thought that I would die for sure, but I survived. Now, I have even become the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace. In the Nine State Forum, no one looked favorably upon the Barren State, but the Barren State obtained the most dazzling results. The Barren State's disciple took first place in the Nine State Forum. In the Nether Sword Mound of the Eastern State, the Saints wanted to kill me, but I activated the Sword Matrix of the Void and killed the Chess Saint.
"In this world, there is nothing that is impossible. All the trials of life and death that we have experienced, when you look back one day, you will realize that all these trials and tribulations are just stepping stones on your path to becoming an expert."
Ye Futian's voice was shocking, and it seemed to have a strange magic, echoing in the minds of everyone. Countless people looked up at the handsome figure, and at this moment, Ye Futian's temperament was extraordinary.
It was as if he was born for such a grand occasion.
"Let's go and fight!" As Ye Futian's voice landed, he stepped into the void!
