In Emperor Xia's Realm, there was a group of towering palaces, thousands of feet high, standing like a temple.
This was also the tallest building in all of Emperor Xia's Realm. Even the Ninth Layer of Heaven of Jiutian Temple did not dare to surpass this height.
This was the place where Emperor Xia cultivated, the Renhuang Palace of Emperor Xia's Realm.
At this time, in this Renhuang Palace, a young man dressed in men's clothing but more handsome than women stood on a staircase, listening to the news reported by the people below.
"Ye Futian, the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State of the Nine States, together with Yu Sheng, the two of them climbed the Sky Stairwell to the Upper Worlds. No one could stop them. Later, the two of them went to Jiutian Temple together and fought to the Eighth Layer of Heaven in one day. They also fought one against nine in the Seventh Layer of Heaven. They agreed to challenge the people of the Eighth Layer of Heaven in three days and told Pei Qianying to wait for them in the Ninth Layer of Heaven."
Xia Qingyuan listened quietly to the people below, and there was not much change in her eyes.
She remembered the young man who did not want to go with her at the birthday banquet of Saint Xia of the Nine States. When she was the Supervising Inspector of the Nine States in the Lower Worlds, she had heard that Ye Futian was extremely talented, so she had invited him, but he had refused.
Now it seemed that he had absolute confidence in his own strength. Even if he did not become the Heavenly Chosen One and entered the Upper Worlds to cultivate, he had the ability to climb the Sky Stairwell and fight all the way to Emperor Xia's Realm.
"Send someone to Jueying Palace and have the Jueying Sword Saint bring the Life Spirit of Ye Wuchen, who has been stripped of control, to Jiutian Temple in three days. If the people of the Nine States win, return the Life Spirit," said Xia Qingyuan.
"Yes." The person bowed and then asked, "Will the Princess go?"
If Xia Qingyuan went, he would naturally go to Jiutian Temple and let the Lord of Jiutian arrange it.
"I'll wait and see. You may leave," said Xia Qingyuan calmly, and suddenly the person bowed and left.
This matter quickly spread in Emperor Xia's Realm and caused great waves.
The battle of the Jiutian Ranking had always been an extremely grand event in Emperor Xia's Realm. Every battle on the Jiutian Ranking would cause great waves.
Moreover, this time, it was someone from the Lower World of the Nine States who had arrogantly declared that he would break through the Ninth Layer of Heaven and challenge Pei Qianying, who was on the Jiutian Ranking.
According to the news from the Jiutian Temple, the man from the Nine States of the Lower Worlds boasted that he was unparalleled in the Nine States and invincible among his peers. He was the only Palace Lord of a holy land who was not a Saint. Saints obeyed him, which showed his talent.
Many people said that it would not be a problem for Ye Futian and the others to pass through the Eighth Layer of Heaven. After all, Gu Dongliu had already won nine times in a row. He only needed one more battle to reach the Ninth Layer of Heaven. Ye Futian should be able to do it too.
The battle three days later was hailed by countless people in Emperor Xia's Realm as a battle between the top geniuses of the Lower Worlds and Emperor Xia's Realm. Coupled with Jiutian Temple's intention to add fuel to the fire, one could imagine how much of a commotion it caused.
It was said that there were already several figures on the Jiutian Ranking who were interested in the battle and would personally go to Jiutian Temple on that day to witness someone from the Lower Worlds climb the Jiutian Ranking and challenge Pei Qianying.
Those who had many victories in a row in the Eighth Layer of Heaven of the Jiutian Ranking also showed up one after another. They also said that they would go to Jiutian Temple. Everyone was optimistic that Ye Futian and Gu Dongliu would fight their way to the Ninth Layer of Heaven. It seemed that the top figures of the Eighth Layer of Heaven like them were just stepping stones. One could imagine how they felt.
They wanted to see how strong this unparalleled figure of the Nine States was to dare to make such bold claims.
For the cultivators of Emperor Xia's Realm, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the Jiutian Temple was bustling. Early in the morning, the lowest level of the Jiutian Temple was already packed with people. Those who had arrived early had taken up positions. Everyone could enter this level. Although they could not see as clearly as above, they could still see the projections of the battles of the Jiutian Ranking. Of course, they had to grab a spot.
In addition, countless people went to every layer of heaven of Jiutian Temple.
Even at the Eighth Layer of Heaven, there were already many people there, and the stands were full.
There were even some great figures of the Saint Plane who came to Jiutian Temple to watch the battle that day, which showed how much attention this battle had received.
Outside Jiutian Temple, countless people were waiting.
"Wang Jin!" At that moment, many people exclaimed.
Wang Jin was a cultivator of the Eighth Layer of Heaven in Jiutian Temple. He had not appeared in Jiutian Temple for a long time.
His most glorious record was nine consecutive victories, but he was defeated in the battle for the Jiutian Ranking. His opponent had stepped into the Ninth Layer of Heaven, and he had to start all over again.
Now, he had seven consecutive victories, but in reality, as a cultivator who had won nine consecutive victories, Wang Jin's strength was definitely at the peak of the Eighth Layer of Heaven.
"Mu Fanchen." At that moment, another figure descended. It was Mu Fanchen, who had lost to Gu Dongliu the day before and had come to participate again today.
After eight consecutive victories, he had been defeated the day before. Now, he had no consecutive victories, which was equivalent to zero. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng wanted to enter the Jiutian Ranking, and they had to defeat him in the first battle.
"Yu Zhan, that battle maniac."
Another figure walked over. It was Yu Zhan, the current holder of an eight-match winning streak. However, like Wang Jin, he once had a nine-match winning streak. However, he was defeated during his nine-match winning streak and started fighting again. If it had not been for the battle between Mu Fanchen and Gu Dongliu the day before, Gu Dongliu might have fought him instead.
"They're all here?"
"This lineup …"
Many people's hearts beat wildly, but there was a faint sense of excitement. It was too crazy. Those who had been defeated in the Eighth Layer of Heaven but were extremely famous were all here today.
This even made people wonder if Ye Futian and Yu Sheng could fight their way to the Ninth Layer of Heaven. They saw Pei Qianying.
The arrival of these people meant that anyone with a winning streak had an extremely glorious record, and they were all gathered in Jiutian Temple today. There was no doubt that since they were here, Jiutian Temple would definitely choose these most famous people to fight for the sake of spectating.
So, what would the outcome be?
It was crazy.
The last time Jiutian Temple had been so crazy was when the Little Princess Xia Qingyuan had challenged Jiutian Temple and fought her way to the Ninth Layer of Heaven.
Today, it was as if they had seen a scene second only to when the Little Princess had challenged Jiutian Temple.
Of course, this only made the crowd even more excited. But they had not imagined that someone from the Lower Worlds could cause such a stir. They hoped that he was not too weak. Otherwise, if he could not even fight his way to the Ninth Layer of Heaven, he would become a complete joke.
At that moment, in the void, a group of cultivators was moving forward. When they were about to reach Jiutian Temple, they began to descend.
"It's the people of Jueying Palace."
"The Jueying Sword Saint has come in person."
Countless eyes looked at a slender, handsome young man beside the Jueying Sword Saint. This battle had started because of him.
The son of the Jueying Sword Saint, a cultivator on the Jiutian Ranking, Pei Qianying.
Pei Qianying's talent could be said to be extremely outstanding. Back then, he had fought his way to the Ninth Layer of Heaven as an upper-level Sage. He had made it onto the Jiutian Ranking, letting everyone witness his peerless talent. Even the lord of Jiutian Temple had said that in the future, when Pei Qianying was a Magi or Sage, if he were to challenge Jiutian Temple again, he would also be able to fight his way to the Ninth Layer of Heaven.
It was said that Pei Qianying was now at the peak of the Magi Plane. He was only one step away from becoming a Sage.
Being at the peak of the Magi Plane on the Jiutian Ranking meant that in this plane, he was already standing at the top.
"Pei Qianying, three days ago Ye Futian asked you to wait in the Ninth Layer of Heaven. What do you think?" At that moment, a voice came from the crowd. Before the battle, if they could say some harsh words, it would undoubtedly be more exciting. But most people would not pay attention to it at this time.
But at that moment, Pei Qianying's footsteps stopped. He turned his eyes and looked in a certain direction in the crowd. His eyes were as sharp as a sword.
The person who had just spoken in the crowd felt Pei Qianying's gaze. He felt a stab of pain in his eyes and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at those eyes.
"When I was young, my father never showed his strength in front of me. I cultivated in swordsmanship and was good at all kinds of sword techniques. I thought that my swordsmanship was superb and that I could be compared to my father. Later, I realized how ignorant I was. The higher I cultivated, the more I thought so."
Pei Qianying spoke slowly, causing everyone to be stunned. They seemed to understand what Pei Qianying was implying.
"I heard that they came from the Lower World of the Nine States and boasted that they were peerless. They thought that there was no one in Jiutian Temple and that they wanted to fight their way through the Ninth Layer of Heaven. They even compared themselves to the Little Princess." Pei Qianying continued slowly, "After today, perhaps they will know more about respect."
After saying this, Pei Qianying lifted his foot and walked forward.
Everyone looked at his back, and then there was a burst of noise. It was like a terrible wave that swept through Jiutian Temple.
They had thought that Pei Qianying would remain silent. They did not expect that Pei Qianying not only responded, but also publicly mocked Ye Futian, who had come from the Lower World, for being ignorant and having no respect.
This undoubtedly made everyone even more excited, and they looked forward to the arrival of this battle even more.
After that, more extraordinary figures arrived. The crowd had even seen several figures on the Jiutian Ranking. Some people openly asked them what they thought of Pei Qianying's words. Most people just smiled but did not say anything. They walked towards the Ninth Layer of Heaven.
They would witness this battle in the Ninth Layer of Heaven.
Many people were waiting for the arrival of Ye Futian and the others.
Finally, when a group of figures arrived on their swords and landed on the ground from the void, the crowd was completely excited.
Ye Futian and the others had arrived.
Today, they had brought Ye Wuchen once again.
At this time, there seemed to be an even stronger spiritual fluctuation coming from between Ye Wuchen's eyebrows. Obviously, he had sensed something.
The Jueying Sword Saint had brought his Life Spirit, and Ye Wuchen had never given up on his Life Spirit. No matter what, he refused to cut off the connection between him and his Life Spirit.
If it was cut off, he would only lose his Life Spirit. His cultivation would regress, and it would be difficult for him to move forward. But if he continued to persevere, the consequences might be the complete collapse of his spiritual will, and he would die.
But he chose the latter.
Ye Futian and the others walked forward, step by step, up the stairs towards Jiutian Temple.
Looking at their backs, everyone felt a strong sense of determination and conviction!
