A place of gentleness, a grave of heroes.
Not long ago, the man who had shaken the world in the Upper Worlds had put down his cultivation.
The night was as dark as ink. In the quiet palace, Ye Futian held the body in his arms and enjoyed the beauty of peace.
At that moment, the body in Ye Futian's arms moved and pulled Ye Futian's hand away. Hua Jieyu got up quietly, put on her coat, and walked out softly.
"Jieyu, what's wrong?" Ye Futian, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at the silhouette walking out. The moonlight shone on Hua Jieyu's body. Her slender figure was mesmerizing. Her legs looked like they were carved out of white jade. The nightgown she wore swayed gently in the wind. It was a sight to behold.
"I'm going to cultivate." Hua Jieyu turned around and smiled gently at Ye Futian.
"You want me to stay here alone," Ye Futian said softly. "Jieyu, you've been away for more than three years. Rest well."
"It's because I've seen more outstanding people that I have to work harder. Didn't you say that I would be better than Xia Qingyuan in the future? Xia Qingyuan is also very hardworking. I can't be lazy," Hua Jieyu said softly. "Have a good sleep. Don't worry about me."
"Then I'll go with you." Ye Futian got up and came to Hua Jieyu's side, holding her hand. He knew that Hua Jieyu had been under pressure.
"Yes, but I'm going to the training platform to cultivate my telekinesis. I can't be disturbed. I'll have to trouble you to cultivate in the backyard," Hua Jieyu said to Ye Futian with a smile.
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded. There was no one here to disturb him. It didn't matter where he cultivated.
The two of them went out together. Ye Futian went to the backyard while Hua Jieyu went to the training platform alone. It was an independent space, like a secret room. There were matrices surrounding it and it was absolutely quiet.
Hua Jieyu sat cross-legged, but at that moment, a shadow appeared. It was the saint inside Hua Jieyu's body.
"Why don't you tell him?" the woman asked Hua Jieyu.
"Master, I don't want him to worry," Hua Jieyu said to the woman. This saint had been in her body for many years and had been guiding her in her training, so she naturally referred to her as her teacher.
"He doesn't agree with you continuing your cultivation. There are too many unknowns, so you should discuss this with him." The woman said.
"It doesn't matter." Hua Jieyu chuckled. "Since she has chosen me, I will definitely be suitable for cultivation."
As she spoke, she closed her eyes. The woman looked at her and sighed inwardly before turning into an illusory figure and fusing into the woman's body.
Specks of light emanated from Hua Jieyu's body and shot into the sky. She felt as if her telekinesis was flying into the distance, wandering between heaven and earth. Every strand of Spiritual Qi was so clear that it had never been so clear before.
Her surroundings lit up with a brilliant radiance. Gradually, the radiance enveloped her body, making her look like a fairy.
Countless specks of light gathered behind Hua Jieyu and gradually formed an illusory figure. This dazzling figure was sacred, like a statue of a goddess. As the statue of the goddess appeared, more and more specks of light gathered from the sky.
Hua Jieyu's face was already beautiful. Now that she was bathed in the holy light, she looked even more like a fairy from the Nine Heavens, holy and pure.
…
In the blink of an eye, Ye Futian and the others had been back for a month.
All the holy lands of the Nine States received the news that the cultivators of the Barren State had returned. They were somewhat surprised, but they did not know the specifics. After all, the news between the Upper and Lower Worlds was not connected.
However, after Saint Xia heard the news, he ordered the saints of the Xia Clan to personally go to the Upper Worlds. When Ye Futian visited the Xia Clan and left, he guessed that Ye Futian might have gone to the Sky Stairwell.
Now, Ye Futian and the cultivators of the Barren State had returned together. He was a little curious as to what had happened in the Upper Worlds.
Of course, he did not have much hope. After all, even if Ye Futian had succeeded in climbing the Sky Stairwell, he would not have been able to make much waves in the Upper Worlds. There would probably be no news about him.
Other than Saint Xia, who was more concerned about Ye Futian, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty was naturally the most concerned about the Barren State. Of course, the people of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty did not know where Ye Futian had gone. It was just that since Saint Xia's birthday banquet more than three years ago, Ye Futian had been very low-key. Apart from a trip to the Nine State College, he rarely showed himself. There was only the occasional news of his appearance in various parts of the Nine States, but no one knew whether it was true or not.
As for Ye Futian himself, he had been training quietly like the other disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace ever since he had returned. After going through the continuous battles in the Upper Worlds, as well as training during this period, he had finally successfully broken through to the upper level of the Magi Plane. He was only one step away from the Archmage level.
At this time, in a place of cultivation in the Holy Zhi Palace, Ye Futian stood high up. The wind blew past, blowing his clothes. He looked down at the cultivators below and felt very gratified. The disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace were all working hard to cultivate, and their strength was getting stronger and stronger. In time, the Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State would become the number one holy land of the Nine States.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry in the Sacred War. The longer it took, the greater their chances of winning. When he and Yu Sheng stepped into the Archmage Plane, even without the help of the will of the emperor, in the land of the Nine States, no one below the Saint Plane could stop them.
What he was more worried about was the battle of the Saint Plane. There was only a little more than a year left before the Saint Plane cultivators could not fight in the five years.
From below, there was an extremely sharp sword will, and then Ye Futian saw a one-armed figure descending like a sword. It was Ye Wuchen.
"Wuchen, the sword will on your body has gotten stronger," Ye Futian said with a smile.
"Of course. Why don't you ask him what level of sword will the three sword wills he is refining with all his might?" Xu Que and Zui Qianchou both came on their swords and landed beside Ye Futian.
"Are you jealous?" Ye Futian said with a smile.
"Yes." Zui Qianchou took a sip of wine from his gourd.
"Renhuang sword will," Ye Wuchen said softly.
"Wuchen, some things don't need to be said," Ye Futian said seriously. He was naturally happy for Ye Wuchen, but the Renhuang sword will was too important. Even the Sword Saint of the Upper Worlds wanted to take it and refine it. If word got out, many people would covet Ye Wuchen's Life Spirit.
If it were not for the fact that Xia Qingyuan was a descendant of Renhuang and did not care so much about the Renhuang sword will, she would probably have some ideas herself.
Of course, if Xia Qingyuan did not have such a status, she would not have been able to take everyone to the Renhuang ruins for trials.
"However, this sword will is too strong. Although I have integrated it into my Life Spirit, I have only comprehended a little bit of it. I have not been able to completely refine it. Even the Jueying Sword Saint could not do it," Ye Wuchen said softly. There was nothing to hide from Ye Futian and the others.
"You're too crazy. When you were refining this Sword Will, I thought your Life Spirit wouldn't be able to bear it. Fortunately, you persevered," Xu Que said. Obviously, Ye Wuchen had also experienced a life and death situation when refining this Renhuang Sword Will.
"What about you guys? Don't you have any opportunities?" Ye Futian said with a smile.
"Of course there are, but they can't be compared to him, that's all. However, the people who went to the trial this time, as long as they survived, all had different opportunities. The list of the Heaven's Chosen Ones was filled with outstanding talents and great opportunities. Xia Qingyuan named them Heaven's Chosen Ones because she wanted them to go to the Upper Worlds to cultivate and follow her in the future," Xu Que said.
"Is Emperor Xia going to pass the position of Renhuang to Xia Qingyuan in the future?" Ye Futian murmured. Bringing people from the Upper and Lower Worlds to the trial, could this be considered cultivating a future force?
However, the people of the Barren State gave up the right to become Chosen Ones because of Ye Wuchen. According to them, Xia Qingyuan was also a little upset at the time.
But Ye Futian did not care about this. The Upper and Lower Worlds were the same to him.
This time, when everyone came back, some changes had happened to them, and they had improved a lot. Most of the time, it was not because they were not talented enough, but because they did not have the opportunity to come into contact with the wider world. The potential of cultivators was very great. For example, if Wuchen had stayed in the small Cangye Kingdom of the Hundred Lands, he would not have been where he was today. The highest level he could see there was only the Noble Plane.
"Uncle Ye." At this time, a young voice was heard. Ye Futian looked up and saw the Black Wind Condor glide down from the sky. A young figure jumped directly from the Black Wind Condor.
Ye Futian reached out and caught her, holding her in his arms.
"Little Grass, you've grown up, and you're getting heavier and heavier. I can barely carry you." Ye Futian looked at the little girl in his arms and smiled. The girl was six or seven years old, like a porcelain doll. She was very beautiful. After all, her father, Xue Ye, was very handsome, and You Xi was a famous beauty in Alchemy City.
"Then come down, Little Grass," the girl said innocently.
"No need, I can still carry you now." Ye Futian smiled and pinched the little girl's nose.
"Little Grass, you sneaked out to harass your Uncle Ye again." Xue Ye and You Xi's figures flashed over. You Xi glared at the girl, and immediately, Little Grass shrank her head.
"Little Grass is still young. Let the girl play more." Ye Futian knew that Fourth Brother and You Xi were very strict with Little Grass and had her read a lot since she was young.
"Don't spoil the girl too much." Xue Ye was helpless. The girl was closer to Ye Futian than to him, her father. But he really did not spend much time with Little Grass, and once he left, it was more than three years.
"If she's spoiled, then so be it. I'll teach her cultivation in the future," Ye Futian said with a smile. Back when You Xi was pregnant with Little Grass, he went to Alchemy City and caused a scene. After that, he went through a dark period. At that time, You Xi was still pregnant with Little Grass, but she ran around for him, asking You Chi to help him.
The little girl was born during that period of turmoil. After that, the Holy Zhi Palace was not stable, and Little Grass was the same. She moved to the Holy Zhi Palace with her parents.
In reality, if it were not for him, Fourth Brother and You Xi would have brought Little Grass to live a very comfortable life in Alchemy City. Little Grass would have been the pearl of Alchemy City, doted on by everyone.
Now that the Alchemy City Lord Office had been incorporated into the Holy Zhi Palace, the young Little Grass came with them. He naturally saw her as his own child, and the Little Condor often played with her.
"You spoil the girl too much." You Xi shook her head helplessly. Little Grass looked at her with a proud expression.
"Of course. She is the first daughter of the Cottage," Ye Futian said with a smile.
"Palace Lord." At that moment, a figure came through the air. Ye Futian turned to look at the person and asked, "What is it?"
The person presented an invitation with both hands and handed it to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian took it and glanced at it. A strange look appeared in his eyes.
"Whose invitation is it?" Xu Que asked.
"Xihua Sacred Mountain." Ye Futian closed the invitation and said, "Liu Zong is marrying Zhou Ziyi. Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty are connected by marriage, and they have invited me to attend this banquet."
"Liu Zong is an extremely hypocritical person. He is ambitious and very strong. During the trial, he also had a great opportunity and was named the Heavenly Chosen One. Now, Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty both have high hopes for Liu Zong," Xu Que said. "With the relationship between the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and the Holy Zhi Palace, this marriage is equivalent to targeting the Holy Zhi Palace. I'm afraid the banquet will not be good."
"With the relationship between us and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, there is no need for us to go," Ye Wuchen said. Xihua Sacred Mountain may also target the Holy Zhi Palace!
