The news that Liu Zong, a disciple of the Third Saint of Xihua Sacred Mountain, would marry Zhou Ziyi, the princess of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, caused quite a stir in the Nine States. Invitations from Xihua Sacred Mountain were sent to all holy lands in the Nine States.
Many people understood that this marriage was of great significance.
Liu Zong, as a disciple of the Third Saint, was enough to represent the will of Xihua Sacred Mountain. Zhou Ziyi was the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and as a noble, this was almost equivalent to the two top holy lands of the Eastern State joining forces.
In the Eastern State, the Lapis Lazuli Holy Temple was relatively weak, and although the Sky Saint was very strong, he was only one person, and he had a disciple.
The Glass Saint would probably feel pressured by the marriage between the two holy lands. After all, the Great Zhou Sacred King had always been interested in the Glass Saint, and this was no secret. As for the Sky Saint, he was fine. He was a loner with no ties and had nothing to worry about.
Of course, the people of the Nine States understood that the greatest pressure was not the Glass Saint and the Sky Saint, but the Barren State's Holy Zhi Palace and Ye Futian.
In the context of the Sacred War, this marriage would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Barren State's Holy Zhi Palace.
Moreover, it was rumored that Liu Zong had great opportunities in the process of following Xia Qingyuan and was named a Heavenly Chosen One. Coupled with his identity as a disciple of the Third Saint of Xihua Sacred Mountain, Liu Zong's name spread throughout the Nine States and was pushed to the top.
More than three years ago, Ye Futian refused to go out to train with Xia Qingyuan. Now, those who went out to train had made great progress and all had opportunities. Now, no one knew if Ye Futian could still suppress those who came to train in the Nine States.
After Xihua Sacred Mountain held the Nine State Forum, Xihua Sacred Mountain once again attracted the attention of the Nine States. Countless people set off for Xihua Sacred Mountain in the Eastern State, and all the holy lands set off one after another.
In the Holy Sage Pavilion of the Barren State, Ye Futian gathered everyone to discuss this matter.
It was impossible to say that the Holy Zhi Palace did not feel pressure about the marriage between the two holy lands. Under the Sacred War, the life and death of the people of the Holy Zhi Palace were at stake.
The Sword Demon, Qin Zhuang, You Chi, Huang Xi, Yang Xiao, and the others from the Holy Zhi Palace took the invitation and looked at it. They frowned slightly. Although there had been such rumors in the Nine States for a long time, when the day came, they still felt an overwhelming pressure.
"Elders, what do you think?" Ye Futian asked.
"More than three years ago, at Saint Xia's birthday banquet, we reached an agreement. Saints from both sides are not allowed to participate in the Sacred War, but those below the Saint Plane are not affected other than not being able to use battle matrixes. Although this is a wedding banquet, the Sacred War concerns the life and death of those from holy lands. Even if the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty set up a killing trap, it is not impossible." You Chi analyzed, "I suggest that we refuse and wait and see. What the Palace needs is time."
Everyone naturally understood what You Chi meant. Ye Futian's group of people from the Holy Zhi Palace was the most talented, and they were all growing rapidly. In another five or six years, this group of people would all stand at the pinnacle of the Sage Plane. That was why the Holy Zhi Palace had been conservative for the past three years and had not provoked the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, waiting for the people of the Holy Zhi Palace to grow.
"Moreover, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty may be willing to pay any price to kill the Palace Lord," Sage Daozang said. He also did not recommend going.
"I have now entered the upper-level Magi Plane. It will not be easy for the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty to kill me." Ye Futian said. Back then, he was only in the Sage Plane, so any Sage could threaten him. Other than using battle matrixes, they were a burden.
But now, he still had the power to protect himself. It would not be as dangerous as it was before.
"Moreover, Xihua Sacred Mountain invited me to the wedding banquet. There is no need to be so shameless as to set up a killing trap, right?" Ye Futian said. If they did so, they would be throwing away the face of the holy land.
"That will depend on the Great Zhou Sacred King's determination to kill you," Sage Daozang said.
Ye Futian smiled and shook his head. The Great Zhou Sacred King naturally hated him. A Sage Plane figure had made him lose face several times.
Saint Xihua and the Great Zhou Sacred King still want to save face. Moreover, the Holy Zhi Palace's name is now known throughout the Nine States, and we have finally been recognized by the Nine States. We have fought our way through the Sacred War, and our momentum is at its peak. Even if they invite us, we should still attend. "The Sword Demon held the opposite opinion. The character of a swordsman was naturally sharper, and he pressed forward with indomitable will.
"The two holy lands are most likely trying to suppress the Holy Zhi Palace. If we go, they will deliberately provoke and suppress us. If we don't go, it is equivalent to weakening our momentum. This will show the other holy lands in the Nine States, and it can also intimidate some of the holy lands that are on good terms with the Holy Zhi Palace. At the same time, it will let those holy lands that covet the Holy Zhi Palace see it. Don't forget that Zhisheng Cliffs of Yu State has been watching us. If there is a chance to attack the Holy Zhi Palace, they will not mind," Huang Xi said.
Back when Zhisheng Cliffs of Yu State suppressed the Barren State, all top forces of the Barren State had personally experienced it. That battle changed the future of the Barren State, and Ye Futian became the Palace Lord of the Holy Zhi Palace because of that battle.
"Since the elders have different opinions, how about Uncle-Master Wanxiang perform a divination?" Ye Futian looked at Sage Wanxiang and said.
"I have already performed a divination before coming. This trip may have some ups and downs, but it will not be a big problem," Wanxiang said.
"Uncle-Master is well prepared," Ye Futian said with a smile. This kind of fortune or misfortune divination was a relatively simple divination, and it would not take too much of a toll on a Wanxiang.
"However, during this time, I have performed divination for the Nine States, and there are signs of unrest in the Nine States," Sage Wanxiang continued. Ye Futian looked at Sage Wanxiang and then nodded. He had had this feeling for a long time, and now Wanxiang's divination had confirmed it. It seemed that in the context of the Sacred War, the Nine States would sooner or later set off a storm.
He only hoped that this storm would come later, and it would be best if it could wait until he stepped into the Saint Plane. At that time, he would have nothing to fear.
"In that case, let's go," Ye Futian said immediately. Suddenly, everyone nodded. Although they had different opinions, no one would object to Ye Futian's decision.
Ye Futian then selected the people who would accompany him, and Yang Xiao said, "Palace Lord, I would like to accompany you to this banquet."
Ye Futian looked at Yang Xiao. Although several years had passed, Yang Xiao's hatred for Liu Zong had not diminished in the slightest.
"Rest assured, Palace Lord, I know what I am doing," Yang Xiao said again.
"Very well." Ye Futian nodded.
"Thank you, Palace Lord." Yang Xiao bowed slightly and then left. Ye Futian looked at his back. Back then, Liu Zong and the Chess Saint had set up a trap in the Nether Sword Mound to kill his wife and several of his younger brothers. If he did not get his revenge, he would not be able to die in peace.
Now, Liu Zong's glory was boundless. He was named the Heavenly Chosen One, and his name was known throughout the Nine States. Now, his wedding was celebrated by the Nine States, and everyone in the world was invited.
Yang Xiao's mood could be imagined.
After that, Ye Futian selected the others who would accompany him. Everyone wanted to follow, so Ye Futian chose the strongest group of people to accompany him, as well as the group who would go to the trial.
A few days later, in the Palace, a group of cultivators set off. The Village Chief personally led the way. In addition to Ye Futian, Yuan Hong, Huang Xi, You Chi, Qin Zhuang, Xu Shang, Yang Xiao, the Sword Saint, Gu Dongliu, Hua Jieyu, Yu Sheng, Ye Wuchen, Huang Jiuge, and many other cultivators set off together.
Moreover, from the Endless Sea of the Ocean State, many top Sage Plane monsters had also set off from the Endless Sea a few days ago. They traveled above the sky toward the direction of the Eastern State. Of course, in order to avoid being too conspicuous, all the monsters moved separately. Even if they were discovered, it would not arouse suspicion.
The gathering of these demonic beasts was naturally a precaution. So that if the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty really did not care about face and wanted to kill him, he would use the demonic beast army hidden in the dark.
…
Huatian City in the Eastern State once again received the attention of the Nine States. Many cultivators from holy lands had already arrived.
Some people from holy lands had already settled in Huatian City in advance.
This time, the lineup was even stronger than that of the Nine State Forum, because the saints had also arrived.
The saints from the holy lands of the Nine States had faintly felt that the Nine States was not peaceful, so they had personally come to attend the wedding banquet. They wanted to see how far the marriage alliance between Xihua Sacred Mountain and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty would go.
Would they really join forces to launch a Sacred War against the Holy Zhi Palace?
At this time, in the most famous Huatian Tower in Huatian City, it was not as lively as it had been in the past. But at the top of Huatian Tower, there was a group of people drinking and chatting.
These people sitting here were all saints. Almost all the saints of the Nine States had come in person.
"Today, I have invited you all here because of one thing. I believe you have all heard about the lost ruins of the Endless Sea?" At this time, the Palace Lord of the Ocean King Palace looked at everyone and said. The saints nodded slightly. They had indeed heard about this matter.
"The Halberd of Time and Space, was it really not taken by the three holy lands?" A saint from the Hall of Holy Light stared at the saints of the Endless Sea with sharp eyes. After the news came out, they still had some doubts, suspecting that the three holy lands of the Endless Sea had deliberately set up a trap.
"The Halberd of Time and Space, Nothingness, is ranked third on the Divine Implement Ranking. There is only one. How will the three holy lands of the Endless Sea divide it?" the saint of the Celestial Cliffs said with dissatisfaction.
"But after so many days, there has been no movement from the Jiuying. It is as if he has disappeared," someone said.
"The Jiuying is a saint, deceitful and ferocious. Even if he takes human form and hides in the Nine States, no one knows who he is. Now that he has the Halberd of Time and Space, he will not easily reveal himself. He will work hard to cultivate. When he is strong enough and completely controls the Halberd of Time and Space, I am afraid he will set off a storm of blood in the Nine States. If there is news of the Jiuying in the future, we must inform all the holy lands and join forces to destroy him."
Everyone's eyes flashed, and they all had their own ideas. If they really found the Jiuying's tracks, the first thing they would think of was to kill him and take the Halberd of Time and Space.
But now, no one knew where the Jiuying had gone with the Halberd of Time and Space. They could only wait for him to expose himself!
