Saint Xia saw that both of them had agreed, so he smiled and nodded. "My original intention was to end the Sacred War. After all, continuing to fight will only result in both sides suffering. But since both of you disagree, then we will have to follow the agreement you have just reached."
He looked at Xia Qingyuan beside him and said, "Does the Supervising Inspector have any objections?"
Xia Qingyuan had been sitting there quietly. Even when Saint Xia asked for her opinion, she still appeared very calm, without the slightest ripple.
"Since both of you have agreed, I will give you a chance to amend the rules of the Sacred War. The new rules of the Sacred War will not be changed in the future. If anyone violates them, the Nine State Guards will come to arrest them," Xia Qingyuan said calmly. Her voice was crisp and cold. It was the voice of a woman.
Obviously, although she had disguised herself as a man, she had no intention of hiding her identity as a woman, nor could she hide it.
Xia Qingyuan did not say that she would report to Emperor Xia, but directly made the decision on behalf of Emperor Xia.
Many people looked at her face. It was exquisite, without a single blemish, but it gave people a cold arrogance that could not be approached. It was a kind of extreme pride. She should be very young, but sitting in front of all the saints, there was not a trace of emotion on her face. She was terrifyingly calm.
It seemed that she had long been accustomed to such a situation. This was not something that ordinary people could do. The aura of a saint was so strong that even Ye Futian's aura was suppressed when Saint Ji said this.
Xia Qingyuan could sit there calmly, and it went without saying what it meant.
The Great Zhou Sacred King nodded. Although he was extremely proud, he did not have the guts to go against the will of Emperor Xia. As the Great Zhou Sacred King, he naturally knew more about the world of cultivators, and the more he knew, the more he knew how to be respectful.
Ye Futian was the person with the least respect he had ever seen.
It had only been five years. The Village Chief of Tombkeeper Village was a follower of the Sword Saint of the Void and had cultivated for many years, but his potential should be limited to this. Unless he had a heaven-defying opportunity, he would never be able to reach the level he was now.
As for Douzhan, let alone five years, even if he was given 50 years, he would not be able to cross the steps of the Divine Path.
The reason why he did not agree to ten years was because he was not very patient and could not wait that long. Apart from that, five years and ten years were no different to him.
Once the five years were up, he would use Douzhan as a memorial to the fallen of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
As for Ye Futian, who had lost the Divine Sword and the battle matrix, he would try his best to kill Ye Futian within these five years.
Unless Ye Futian chose to hole up in the Holy Zhi Palace and refused to come out. In that case, it would not be too late to kill him after five years.
Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, he was the winner of this deal.
Ye Futian waved his hand, and the Golden Phoenix Sword flew towards the Great Zhou Sacred King. At the same time, the Village Chief below also waved his hand, and the holy sword flew towards the Great Zhou Sacred King, pulsing with powerful sword will.
The Great Zhou Sacred King grabbed forward with his palm, and a shadow of a phoenix appeared, imprisoning the Holy Sword that was spitting Sword Will, and then put it away.
"Scram." Said the Village Chief plainly. Zhou Huang and the other two looked embarrassed as they walked towards the crowd of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty.
As for Sage Douzhan, he had never sat with the people of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. He had always been at the Holy Zhi Palace. Other than the Great Zhou Sacred King, who else in the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty could restrain him?
There was no need for the Great Zhou Sacred King to guard him. With Saint Li's guarantee and Saint Xia's mediation, the Great Zhou Sacred King was not worried that Douzhan would dare to escape.
Of course, now, there was no need.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Saint Xia said, "The matter between the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Holy Zhi Palace ends here. This time, I sent people to deliver invitations to all the holy lands. There should be one more thing, right?"
"Saint Xia means to bring the most talented of the younger generation?" asked a cultivator of the Saint Plane.
"Yes." Saint Xia nodded.
"Naturally, I will not forget Saint Xia's instructions." All the saints nodded. This time, they had brought the most talented of the younger generation. Now, in this banquet, not only the great figures of the Saint Plane were present, but almost all the top geniuses of the holy lands were present.
It could be said that the people present today almost represented the present and future of the Nine States.
However, the people of the holy lands did not understand why Saint Xia would do this.
The sparring between the younger generation of the Nine States had the Nine State Forum, and as for the battle between the top sages, there was the Battle of Proving Holiness. Saint Xia should not have arranged a battle at his birthday banquet, right?
Therefore, there must be other reasons.
Their gazes all fell on Saint Xia. They would soon find out.
"Where the supervising inspector comes from, I think everyone should know," Saint Xia looked at everyone and said, and all the saints nodded.
As cultivators of the Saint Plane, of course, they knew where Emperor Xia was. This was not a secret, but usually because of the fear, very few people would mention it.
Ye Futian sat there quietly. When he was the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace, he had asked this question.
Later, he also learned a little, so he knew a little bit about where Emperor Xia was.
This world was grander and crueler than he had imagined.
"This matter, let the supervising inspector speak," said Saint Xia. Suddenly, everyone's eyes looked at that delicate and flawless face. Many people thought, if she changed into her original women's clothes, how stunning would she be?
Xia Qingyuan stood up, and then she stepped out of her seat. With her back facing Saint Xia, she walked step by step through the crowd. Even though the people on both sides of her were saints, she was still extremely indifferent. She walked quietly to the edge of the stairs and looked around at the crowd.
In the land of the Nine States, the geniuses of many holy lands were all present. At this moment, all eyes fell on Xia Qingyuan. Her eyes were as cold as frost as they swept over everyone. At this moment, the extraordinary figures of the holy lands had a strange illusion. It was as if in front of the woman in front of them, even the most outstanding figures of the holy lands had to lower their proud heads.
This temperament seemed to be innate.
Xia Qingyuan waved her hand, and suddenly there was a dazzling light in front of her. A pagoda appeared in front of her and flew towards the open space in front of her.
At this banquet, all the saints sat below the stairs, and the cultivators of the holy lands below formed a ring. There was an empty area below the stairs. Now it seemed that this was Saint Xia's intentional arrangement.
The pagoda continued to expand, reaching a height of nine zhang. It bloomed with incomparably bright light, like divine light. There seemed to be the will of the Great Path emanating from it, shrouding the world.
In the pagoda, there seemed to be a glass lamp that illuminated the pagoda.
"A divine implement." Everyone's eyes flashed. This Lapis Lazuli Pagoda was a divine implement.
"This is the Lapis Lazuli Pagoda. As long as you stand below, the Lapis Lazuli Pagoda can sense your aura and release pressure. All the holy lands of the Nine States, cultivators of the Sage Plane, as long as they can light up the Lapis Lazuli Pagoda, they can participate in a special test. Those who pass the test can enter the Upper Worlds to cultivate," Xia Qingyuan said calmly.
Xia Qingyuan said calmly, but as her voice fell, the hearts of all the Saints in the Saint seats trembled violently.
As cultivators of the Saint Plane, they certainly understood what Xia Qingyuan's words meant.
Not only them, but the eyes of many geniuses of the holy lands all revealed extremely bright light at this moment. Obviously, they understood.
This was a qualification that only cultivators of the Saint Plane had.
The land of the Nine States was all the orthodoxy of Emperor Xia. What was the meaning of the Battle of Proving Holiness?
The ordinary people of the Nine States did not understand, but how could the people of the holy lands of the Nine States not understand?
In the world of cultivators, the hierarchy was far more strict than ordinary people imagined, and it was also more cruel.
Especially some of the older generation of Saints who had lived for many years, they knew this even better. They had lived through an era.
It was said that hundreds of years ago, Donghuang the Great and Emperor Ye Qing wanted to change something, and so they launched a divine war. The Divine Prefectures of the East experienced an unprecedented turmoil, and then the world was unified. But could some things really be changed?
When Ye Futian heard Xia Qingyuan's words, there was also a ripple in his heart. The youth who came from the distant Qingzhou City, as his cultivation and status increased, gradually began to come into contact with the real world of cultivators.
The land of the Nine States was all the orthodoxy of Emperor Xia, but Emperor Xia did not cultivate in the Nine States.
He had once wanted to go and see for himself, but because of the Sacred War, he did not have time. But there should be such a chance in the future.
Many geniuses of the Nine States had sharp eyes. They knew that this was a chance to change their fate.
In addition to the Battle of Proving Holiness, Xia Qingyuan had brought them another path, a path that could change their fate.
Was this an order from Emperor Xia?
Who was Xia Qingyuan?
She had such terrifying power.
At this time, from both sides, figures walked out. They wore golden robes, extremely gorgeous. They came to the area below the Lapis Lazuli Pagoda and looked at everyone. One of them said, "Who wants to go first?"
