In thend of Nine States, the cultivators of all the holynds arrived one after another. All the saints had arrived at the pce, and those who were participating stayed in front of the stone wall, mixing into therge crowd.
At the moment, above the sky, there were giant beasts such as Kunpengs and ck Dragons that came from the air. Countless people looked up and saw a ck mass in the sky, and it was arge number of cultivators approaching. It was as if everyone from all holynds hade.
“The three holynds of the Endless Ocean have arrived!” Many people shuddered secretly and had already guessed who wasing.
“The Ocean Pce,ing to the Holy Zhi Pce of Barren State to beg your pardon.”
“The n of the North Deep,ing to the Holy Zhi Pce to beg your pardon.”
“Celestial Cliffs,ing to beg pardon.”
Three consecutive shocking voices were heard, and they were from the mouths of the masters of the three great holynds to show their sincerity. This peace summit was brokered by the Little Princess Xia Qingyuan. They agreed to the conditions put forward by Ye Futian, and with the princess as a witness, they dared not fake it even if the thought had crossed their mind. They had to perform their duties to the utmost. Since the choice ofpromise was already made, no matter what, they had to set aside their dignity for the time being.
The situation was such that concessions must be made, or their holynds would no longer exist. They had to admit defeat. And they were very clear that this was not only bowing down to Ye Futian but was in fact also bowing down to Emperor Xia. The Sacred War was instigated by them, and now that they had lost, it was only natural for them to bear the price, otherwise, Emperor Xia would only favor Ye Futian. Look at Great Zhou Sacred King, who had wanted to kill Ye Futian in return, but died trying. And they had never even thought of using their own lives just to smite Ye Futian.
Suddenly, there was dead silence in the vast space. There was no weing sound from the pce. Just silence. The cultivators of the three holyndsnded in front of the stone walls, and many people even bowed their heads slightly and felt a mixture of emotions all at once. The seven great holyndsid siege upon the Holy Zhi Pce and were defeated. Now, this was the price they had to pay.
The saints have bowed their heads. Countless people in the Barren State stared at this scene, and their hearts were disquieted. Today, not only had all the saints of the Nine Statese to visit, but the three holynds of the Endless Ocean hade to ask forgiveness.
A person walked forward, tall and broad like an ancient god standing upon the sky stairwell.
“Saint Douzhan.” The Barren State looked at the figure, and many suddenly showed a look of great emotion. Some even start to breathe quickly. They did not have such a strong feeling when they saw all the other saints of the Nine States. However, Douzhan was different. In the first battle of the Divine Path, he almost used his entire power to save the Holy Zhi Pce on his own, forcibly breaking the limits of his physical body and attracting the Divine Catastrophe. Instead of trying to ovee the catastrophe, he used it against the cultivators of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty and did not hesitate to torch his own life in return. He continuously breaching the battle matrixes of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty until, on the verge of death, forcing the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty to withdraw their troops. This was also the beginning of a great era.
The Pce Lord of the Holy Zhi Pce, Ye Futian, took him to the Nine State College, where he sought medical treatment from Saint Jiang, who cured him, and he finally passed the catastrophe and became a saint. This was the living legend of the Holy Zhi Pce of the Barren State, a person who was destined to be recorded in the annals.
How could the people of the Barren State not revere and worship him?
“Was it merely to ask for forgiveness?” Douzhan surveyed the people from the three holynds of the Endless Ocean coldly, his voice heard loud and clear.
“The three holynds of the Endless Ocean are willing to serve the Pce Lord of the Holy Zhi Pce, Ye Futian, as the Ocean King. And from this day forward, the Endless Ocean will be ruled by the Ocean King,” said Ocean Saint of Ocean Pce. This was the title he had dreamt about. To be the master of Endless Ocean, this was the reason for his title as Ocean Saint after he had be saint. But now, Ye Futian would inherit the title of Ocean King.
“There is more,” Douzhan continued. His voice was still cold and distant.
“All of us, when entered into the Holy Zhi Pce, will repent in front of the tombs of all those from the pce who died in the battles,” Saint North Deep said, although he was reluctant. The princess had ordered them, and they had agreed, so no matter what happened today, they must bear all of it.
Douzhan nced at the crowd. He understood that the saint of the Endless Ocean was probably unwilling but had said what they said pressed by the present situation. Ye Futian had already warned him before, but it did not matter to him.
“Since you have named Pce Lord Ye as the Ocean King, then themand of the Ocean King is that after Nine State Forum, the three holynds are to bring theirws of cultivations to the Holy Zhi Pce for the Ocean King to peruse. Any objections?”
The cultivators of the three holynds were truly feeling torn, but still, they could only answer with as much conviction as they could, “We have no objections.”
“In addition, the Ocean King will often call on the cultivators of the Endless Ocean to cultivate at the Holy Zhi Pce, to practice with the disciples of the Holy Zhi Pce. Any objections?” Douzhan continued.
“No objections,” they responded.
“Very well then. Since the three holynds of the Endless Ocean are sincere in their desire to belong with the Holy Zhi Pce, you may enter the pce now,” Douzhan said. He turned around and led the cultivators of the Endless Ocean into the pce, leaving countless people shocked.
The three holynds of the Endless Ocean had surrendered, and from this day forward, the new Ocean King of the Endless Ocean was born, and it just so happened that the Halberd of Time and Space was in the hands of Ye Futian.
Perhaps this was all fate.
“Yi n of Summer State hase to pay respect to the Holy Zhi Pce.” Above the firmament, there was a group of brilliant figures heading for the direction of the pce. However, there was no sound that wasing out of the pce, which forced the cultivators of Yi n to stop outside the pce.
“Yi n of Summer State hase to participate in Nine State Forum.” Another voice was heard, somewhat displeased.
“Enter.” An indifferent spoke. Even the word “please” was omitted.
The cultivators from Yi n looked vexed, and Saint Yi was even more displeased in his heart. It seemed that Ye Futian still held a grudge about the battle at the Imperial mausoleum. That time, they had gone against Ye Futian. Later, Moon Saint had gone to persuade them not to participate in the War, and that was why they stayed on the sidelines. But even so, though Ye Futian would not deal against the Yi n, neither would he be warm to them, so this cold attitude was not unexpected.
Today, Saint Yi came in person in an attempt to ease the mood, but Ye Futian did not give much appreciation. However, today’s Holy Zhi Pce, relying on its own strength alone, could suppress the Yi n with no problems. Therefore, Saint Yi could only toughen up and enter the Holy Zhi Pce.
After a long while, all the other holynds came one after another. Above the sky stairwell, Sword Demon appeared there, and looked downward, saying, “Nine State Forum now officially begins. All Nine States cultivators of the Noble ne can dash through the sky stairwell. Those who sessfully enter the pce through the sky stairwell may participate in the Law Battles. The rest of the people may enter the pce from both sides following the directions.”
“Finally, it’s starting.” Countless cultivators of the Noble ne who wanted to participate in the Nine State Forum took a deep breath. In an instant, thousands of cultivators stepped forward and walked toward the sky stairwell of the Great Path. There, for the other states in the Nine States, were held the qualification for the Law Battles. However, for the people of the Barren State, it was not only the admission ticket for the Law Battles, but it was also the sky stairwell that realized their dream of cultivating in the Holy Zhi Pce. As long as they could get up there, they would also be a member of the Barren State holynd, the Holy Zhi Pce.
Standing above the pce, in one nce, countless people were marching forward, covering the sky as if they could flood this holy ce.
The crowds who entered the pce from the sides were led all the way forward. Today’s Holy Zhi Pce exuded a sense of sacred majesty. On both sides, there were many pcepounds. Right in front of them, there was a straight path. Looking into the distance, the terrain faintly to appear getting higher and higher. Nestled within the depths of the Holy Zhi Pce, there was a towering pce that was erected into the sky, ethereal and holy.
As they moved forward, they were getting closer and closer to the pce and the mighty crowd voluntarily kept quiet, as if they could feel that solemn and sacred atmosphere, as if on a pilgrimage. For the people of the Barren State, the significance ofing today was not only to watch the Nine State Forum but a pilgrimage.
After a long time, they finally came to the end of the road, a vast expanse ofnd to view the battles. In the order of firste first serve, they lined up all the way to the back. In front of them, there was an iparably beautiful Law Battle tform that was suspended in the air. In front of the tform was the sky stairwell that led to the majestic pce located in the void. At this time, above the sky stairwell, there was the viewing stand in the shape of an arc for all the holynds of the Nine States. There were already many cultivators from the holynds in the Nine States sitting there.
Behind them, there were cultivators arriving in session from the void. Their bodiesnded on the tform that was suspended in the air. These were those who had passed the assessment and had obtained the qualifications to participate in the battle.
Looking at those who were continuouslynding on the tform, some were envious. The battle of the Noble ne that was to be witnessed by the saints of the Nine States was tremendously rare, possibly only once in a centennial. However,pared with those who had obtained the qualifications for thew battle, the people of Nine States were even more curious about Ye Futian, especially those from the Barren State. They all looked up to the sky and looked forward to his arrival.
Time passed by bit by bit, and there were now more and more cultivators on the battle tform, and there were more people gathering on the viewing stand out in front. The cultivators of the three holynds of the Endless Ocean had arrived, but they were sitting at the end. In addition, the cultivators of the Yi n were also being arranged to sit at the end. Saint Yi sat there with extreme indignity, and yet he couldn’t very well leave, so he sat there with an ufortable exasperation.
Sunlight sprinkled from the sky andnded on the beautifulw battle tform. Countless people still looked up skyward. They saw that above the sky stairwell, and in front of the magnificent pce, there finally appeared an extensive group of people walking down the steps.
Among them were Saint Xia, Saint Li, Lord of Vajra Region, Moon Saint, and the others. They were those cultivators who had leaned toward the side of the Holy Zhi Pce in the Sacred War.
Ye Futian weed them into the pce to chat and catch up. Countless eyes gazed at the same ce. Among the congregation of people, the hearts of the people of Barren State were beating with excitement, looking at the white-haired youth who stood at the top of the sky stairwell, upying the space right in the middle. That handsome and extraordinary white-haired youth was the most legendary figure in Barren State today—the pce lord of the Holy Zhi Pce, Ye Futian.
Next to the white-haired youth, there were many others such as Sword Saint, Yu Sheng, Gu Dongliu, You Chi, Xu Shang, Zhuge Qingfeng, Yun Shang, Qin Zhuang, and Sword Demon. Among these people, some of them had risenter, while some of them had already been named on the Barren Sky Ranking, but all of them were now legends of the Barren State who would be remembered by the Barren State.
At this moment, countless cultivators of the Barren State had the urge to cry, and some people, who were passionate, were already in tears. In this life, to be able toy eyes on them here was what made this life worth living. However, it seemed that there was still someone missing by the side of Pce Lord Ye!
