Outside the Xia clan in the Summer State, a dazzling sword light streaked across and landed outside the Xia clan.
A group of figures broke through the air and saw the Village Chief, Ye Futian, and Yu Sheng.
All three of them had been to the Xia clan, so they naturally recognized them.
"What is the matter, Palace Lord Ye?" The person who came out cupped his hands.
"I have come to see Saint Xia," Ye Futian bowed slightly.
The person from the Xia clan glanced at Ye Futian and said, "Please come in, Palace Lord Ye. I will send someone to report. I cannot be sure if Saint Xia will see you."
"Very well, thank you." Ye Futian nodded, and then followed the other into the Xia clan.
Not long after, news came that Saint Xia had agreed to see Ye Futian, so Ye Futian was brought to wait outside a hall.
"Palace Lord Ye."
At this time, several figures came out of the hall. They were all youths of the Xia clan, and they were all people who had returned from the trial.
"Palace Lord Ye, are you here for the trial?" At this time, a young man looked at Ye Futian and asked.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. "Do you know anything about the people of the Barren State?"
The young man smiled faintly. "When the clan leader invited you to go to the trial, you refused. Now, you have come to ask about it."
Ye Futian raised his eyebrows slightly, but he did not say anything. After all, he had something to ask.
"It has been more than three years since the last birthday banquet. How is your cultivation in the Holy Zhi Palace?" the young man asked again.
Ye Futian looked at him and said, "Mid-level magi."
"Coincidentally, I am also at this level. I have had a lot of insights into cultivation in the past three years. Can you teach me a thing or two?" The young man said with a smile. In the past three years of trial, he had made great progress. He had been to many places, relics, ancient temples, trial fields, and even the land of slaughter. Although he had not obtained the qualifications to be the Heavenly Chosen Ones, he felt that in the land of the Nine States, except for a few who had gone to the trial with him, there were few who could be his opponents.
In the Nine States, Ye Futian was undoubtedly the best touchstone.
"I did not come to the Xia clan to learn from each other." Ye Futian shook his head.
"If you beat me, I will tell you some things I know," the young man said with a smile.
Ye Futian's eyes suddenly turned and looked at him, his long hair fluttering in the wind.
"Are you ready?" Ye Futian asked suddenly.
Xia Yan's eyes froze for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He stepped forward, and a mighty aura swept out from his body. A terrifying aura enveloped the vast space. He looked at Ye Futian and said, "Palace Lord Ye, please."
The people around Xia Yan dispersed and looked at the two of them with interest. They also wanted to see who was stronger between Xia Yan and Ye Futian.
Whoosh. A gust of wind swept past as Ye Futian stepped forward. An invisible current flowed around his body.
At the same time, the aura around Xia Yan grew stronger and stronger. There seemed to be a dragon-shaped aura surrounding him, turning into a monstrous force that swept towards Ye Futian.
However, Ye Futian did not seem to be hindered at all as he continued forward. His body suddenly sped up like a bolt of lightning.
"Retreat." Xia Yan raised his hand and slammed it into the air. Suddenly, layers of terrifying air currents crashed into Ye Futian's body like dragons, like a terrifying storm.
However, Ye Futian's body shone with golden light. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his body was not hindered at all. He penetrated everything and continued forward as if nothing could stop him from moving forward.
Xia Yan saw the figure getting closer and closer, and his expression suddenly changed.
Then, he saw Ye Futian raise his hand and slap towards him through the air. The air seemed to explode, and the terrible aura was directly shattered and torn apart. The palm print came closer and closer and directly slammed into his body. Xia Yan only felt a terrifying tearing force descend on his body. It seemed that if Ye Futian wanted to, his body would be directly shattered.
"Bang."
There was a loud noise, and then Xia Yan's body flew backward and fell to the ground. He spat out blood and his face was pale.
This was the result of Ye Futian showing mercy. Otherwise, it might have been even worse.
"Thank you for letting me win," Ye Futian said. Xia Yan stood up. His face was pale. His previous pride and confidence were gone in an instant.
How could this be?
In this trial of more than three years, he had indeed made great progress. He had even experienced the strength of the cultivators of the Upper Worlds and the cultivators outside the Nine States. Although he was not at the top, he was still very good.
He thought that after returning to the Nine States, there would be few opponents of the same level.
Today, he happened to meet Ye Futian here, so he wanted to test his cultivation over the past three years.
However, with just one blow.
This was too much of a blow for him.
"Xia Yan." At this time, a voice came from inside the hall, and then a group of figures stepped out. The person in the lead was Saint Xia.
"Palace Lord Ye's talent is rare in the Nine States. Do you think that after cultivating for more than three years, he has stagnated?" Saint Xia said lightly, and there was a hint of reprimand in his tone.
Xia Yan bowed his head and said, "I was arrogant."
"Cultivation cultivates the heart. If the state of mind is not transformed, you will never be a match for Palace Lord Ye. Step down," Saint Xia said. Xia Yan nodded and then stepped back to leave.
Only then did Saint Xia look at Ye Futian. Beside him, there were several geniuses who had returned.
"Junior greets Saint Xia," Ye Futian bowed.
"In more than three years, it seems that Palace Lord Ye's strength has become more and more exquisite. Just now, it was the spatial tearing of the rules of space," Saint Xia said. In the previous battle, he had naturally sensed that the palm print that Ye Futian had thrown out contained a terrifying tearing power. If Ye Futian had not shown mercy, Xia Yan would have died without a grave in one blow.
"I comprehended it from the rules of space not long ago." Ye Futian nodded slightly.
"No wonder you did not go to the trial. It was probably because of absolute confidence. Even if you did not go to the trial, you still improved so much," Saint Xia praised. Ye Futian used to be good at space-freezing rules, and now he had comprehended the spatial tearing. This meant that he had achieved great success in the rules of space.
"Although I did not go to the trial, I did not waste these three years. I also cultivated for a period of time in the Nine State College and made some progress," Ye Futian said.
"Yes." Saint Xia nodded lightly. "You came because the disciples of the Barren State have not returned, right?"
"Senior, please tell me." Ye Futian bowed slightly. Even if he was going to the Upper Worlds, he at least needed to know what had happened. Otherwise, what would he do after going to the Upper Worlds?
Where would he go?
"Xia Nan, tell Palace Lord Ye," Saint Xia said to a young man beside him.
Xia Nan, one of the Heavenly Chosen Ones, had obtained the right to cultivate in the Upper Worlds.
Xia Nan's appearance and bearing were extraordinary. His eyes fell on Ye Futian and he said, "This time, the people of the Nine States followed the supervising inspector to the trial. They went to many places, even places far away from the Nine States. In this trial, the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State performed very well. Moreover, they were extremely united and were highly regarded by the supervising inspector."
"However, a group of people from the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State had very tough hearts, but they were too stubborn. In the process of exploring the ruins, the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace had a conflict with the geniuses of the Upper Worlds. They fought over something, which was refined into the Life Spirit by Ye Wuchen, a cultivator of the Barren State. However, the cultivators of the Upper Worlds were also extremely proud and powerful people. They would not let it go, so a battle broke out, and the battle was very fierce," Xia Nan said slowly.
Ye Futian didn't interrupt and listened quietly. However, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
"I am not very clear about what happened later. I only heard the gist of it. It seems that Ye Wuchen's Life Spirit was extracted," Xia Nan said.
Boom … Ye Futian's head shook violently, and there was a violent aura emanating from his body, bursting out uncontrollably.
With his plane, this should not have happened, but at this moment, he could not control it, and a terrible airflow swept around his body.
Not only him, but Yu Sheng, who was next to him, also burst out with an extremely wild aura, as if he was burning with anger.
His Life Spirit was extracted?
The Life Spirit of a cultivator was very important, especially since Ye Futian knew that Ye Wuchen cultivated in the spiritual system. His Life Spirit was a small silver sword, connected to his spiritual power. If his Life Spirit was extracted, what would the consequences be?
Saint Xia looked at Ye Futian and Yu Sheng in surprise. Why did they have such a big reaction?
This was not like the two proud sons of heaven whose names shook the Nine Regions.
Xia Nan was also a little surprised. These people from the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State were really united.
During the trial, he had experienced it. Ye Wuchen did not seem to have a strong presence among the people of the Barren State. He had always been very low-key and spoke very little. But he did not expect that when he heard that something had happened to him, Ye Futian would have such a strong reaction.
Not only him, but even Yu Sheng was the same.
"Where are they now?" Ye Futian's voice trembled slightly. He felt a little guilty. In the beginning, he should have accompanied them to the trial.
Of course, he was more angry. Since the treasure had been obtained by Ye Wuchen and refined into his Life Spirit, it should have belonged to Ye Wuchen.
Unexpectedly, his Life Spirit had been extracted by the other party!
Thinking of this, he felt that he could not suppress the anger in his body.
"With the performance of the people of the Holy Zhi Palace, there should be someone who will become the Heaven's Chosen One and obtain the right to enter the Upper Worlds to cultivate, but they should have given up and asked the Supervising Inspector to give them other opportunities. It should have something to do with Ye Wuchen." Xia Nan said, "Then we came back. The people of the Holy Zhi Palace should now be in the Upper Worlds."
"Specifically, who is the other party?" Ye Futian asked.
"Palace Lord Ye, although Saints can go to the Upper Worlds, I still want to remind you that the other party's power in the Upper Worlds may be very strong, at least not weaker than the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty," Xia Nan said. He meant to remind Ye Futian that if the two Saints of the Holy Zhi Palace went to the Upper Worlds and there was a conflict, it would not be good for them.
"Please tell me, Brother Xia," Ye Futian continued.
"If the Saints of the Holy Zhi Palace want to go, they can go to Jiutian Temple to have a look," Xia Nan said to Ye Futian.
"Very well, thank you." Ye Futian bowed slightly, then looked at Saint Xia and said, "Sorry to disturb you, Saint Xia."
"No problem," Saint Xia said lightly. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Ye Futian at his birthday banquet, it was not a big deal. It was just that this guy was a little too proud, and the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace were the same. It seemed that they had suffered during the trial.
After Ye Futian left, Saint Xia asked Xia Nan, "Do you think that Ye Futian will let the Saints of the Barren State go?"
Xia Nan looked up at Saint Xia, who smiled and said, "Didn't you see that there are only three of them on this trip? One Saint, plus him and Yu Sheng."
"What do you mean?" Xia Nan showed a strange look. It should be impossible.
"The people of the Nine States have gradually forgotten that there is a Path to Heaven that leads to the Upper Worlds," Saint Xia said softly as he looked in the direction where Ye Futian and the others had disappeared.
"However, how long has it been since anyone dared to try the Path to Heaven? It is said that the Path to Heaven is more difficult than the Battle of Proving Holiness, "Xia Nan said.
"Although this boy seems humble, he is actually more proud than anyone else. Perhaps he thinks that he is unparalleled in the Nine States. What he said at the Nine State Platform shows this. With his past style of doing things, I am afraid there is nothing he does not dare to try," Saint Xia said calmly!
