Chapter 505

There were still two more months before the end of year 10005 of the Divine Prefecture Calendar . Much time had passed after the news of Ye Futian's death . After causing an uproar, the Divine Sky City finally forgot about it .
Time could bury everything . No matter how excellent someone was, once fallen, they would still be forgotten in the river of time . Long Yitian had caused such a commotion with his death, but he was also buried in history . Ye Futian wasn't an exception . Fewer and fewer people mentioned him in the city .
Many things had happened recently too . The Top Three Schools' relationship worsened and they often had conflicts . Some students even died in the fights . After the Jin Clan separated from the Divine Sky City, they started arranging things . They sent their best disciples to the other forces of the Barren State .
The Barren State was too big . The clans of the Divine Sky City could control the east, but they weren't the top forces in the vast Barren State . Not even the Top Three Schools could be counted as the top . Places like the Holy Zhi Palace were the forces truly at the peak of the Barren State and were holy lands of cultivation .
And those in the Barren Sky Ranking were those who could truly influence the entire Barren State . Long Yitian was the only one from the Divine Sky City to have entered that ranking . Even then, he'd been at the bottom . Evidently, the ranking was very powerful . Other than abilities, it also looked at one's combat ability, talent, potential, and more .
Recently, two pieces of news reached the Divine Sky City . The first was that someone had challenged the young city lord of White Cloud City who was in top ten of the ranking . It seemed to have been a scholar with amazing talent and combat ability . He had just entered the Sage Plane .
The result wasn't unexpected . How could the young city lord at the top ten of the ranking lose? But this kind of challenge was still interesting for people . People gossiped that the man had challenged the young city lord because of the Zhuge Clan's daughter .
Speaking of the Zhuge Clan's daughter, there was news that she'd entered the Sage Plane . Apparently, she had accepted a sister who was even prettier than herself . She was also a Divine Spiritual Sorcerer with the title of Ultimate Sorcerer . Countless people were won over by her, including many top talents from top forces . However, the news wasn't very detailed when it reached the Divine Sky City . The Barren State was huge and the Zhuge Clan was too far away from the city . The news could reach them because it involved a top figure and clan of the Barren State, namely the young city lord of the White Cloud City and the Zhuge Clan .
Of course, the most exciting news was that the Holy Road to the Holy Zhi Palace would be opened next year .

The Holy Zhi Palace was the most brilliant place of cultivation in the entire Barren State . They only accepted disciples once every three years . The trial was very simple; it was known as the Holy Road .
Each time they accepted disciples, they would attract the attention of the entire Barren State . The vast land would practically shake . This kind of force naturally wouldn't accept disciples like the other forces . It was extremely largescale .
The nine Holy Roads spread throughout every region of the Barren State . At the beginning of the next year, a big show would be unveiled .
Outside the Starry Pavilion in the Starry School, Gu Hanshan found Chen Yuan . "Chief Chen," he said, "did Ye Futian really die?"
"Why are you asking?" Chen Yuan asked . Countless months had passed . He didn't know why Gu Hanshan had run over to bring this up .
"People are discussing the Holy Road recently . I suddenly wondered if the school was trying to fool people and have Ye Futian go through the Holy Road to cultivate at the Holy Zhi Palace?" Gu Hanshan asked .
After news of Ye Futian's death, his friends had disappeared too . It was completely logical to suspect Chen Yuan . Did he worry that Ye Futian would be in danger so he was sent away in this manner?
"You started doubting because of this?" Chen Yuan asked .
"There's a personal matter . My daughter is very depressed these days . When she protected Ye Futian from the Noble's assassination in the Celestial Pavilion, I realized that the girl likes him . She stopped being happy after news of Ye Futian's death . Thus, I hope that he's still alive and came just to ask you . "

"Actually, I don't wish he goes on the Holy Road . I hope that he would inherit the Top Three Schools . " Chen Yuan gazed towards the Starry School with dazed eyes . He seemed to mumble to himself, "But I knew that as long as somewhere like the Holy Zhi Palace existed, the Top Three Schools would only be a temporary stay . Once the Holy Road opened, many disciples would want to try . I wouldn't be able to stop them . This is the tragedy of the Top Three Schools . It's also something I've been trying to change . "
Gu Hanshan understood . When somewhere like the Holy Zhi Palace existed, even if there was someone brilliant in the Top Three Schools, they would still leave . The Top Three Schools couldn't even protest . They needed to support their students in their endeavors because the Holy Zhi Palace was a more advanced place . How could one stop them?
If they supported the students, they could still maintain a friendly relationship after the students entered the Holy Zhi Palace . They'd come from the Top Three Schools, after all . Could they oppose their students from trying it out? And so what if they succeeded? Could the Top Three Schools kill a disciple of the Holy Zhi Palace?
The Sage figures of the Top Three Schools wanted their juniors to be more accomplished, but this method was a bit sad .
Chen Yuan wanted to change this, so he made Ye Futian into a Son . He wanted to create a Saint .
"I understand . Thank you, Chief Chen . " Gu Hanshan smiled and bid farewell . Chen Yuan hadn't said it aloud, but he knew the answer .
Long robe flapping in the wind, Chen Yuan gazed at the glamorous Starry School, his eyes a bit lost . At the beginning of the new year, another batch of talents would leave to challenge themselves on the Holy Road .
At the Nine Cloud Palace, Jin Chengfeng stood before the splendid palace . There was a group of youths standing below the steps . They were the best of Nine Cloud Palace .
"This year, we suffered unprecedented humiliation . We've also sent many people during these months to challenge themselves in other places . But you were all kept here . Do you know why?" Jin Chengfeng asked .

"For the Holy Road . " Jin Yunlang's eyes were sharp . He'd entered the Noble Plane recently . The people here were all in the lower-Noble Plane . The lower three levels of the Noble Plane were the lower-Noble Plane .
"Correct . For the Holy Road . " Jin Chengfeng's eyes were sharper . "The Holy Road opens once every three years . Only those in the lower-Noble Plane and lower have the chance to try it and succeed . Your plane is the most suitable . "
Those in the Arcana Plane basically wouldn't have the chance to succeed . It was only an exercise for them .
One could also see that the Holy Zhi Palace took in disciples at the beginning of the Noble Plane . They wouldn't have to worry about the foundation, because those who could succeed were all the stars of the Barren State . They would all have good foundations and know their talents . The Holy Zhi Palace wouldn't have to teach them from nothing .
Of course, only the Holy Zhi Palace had this capital .
"The masters of the Holy Zhi Palace are all Sages . There is no exception . There are countless Noble prides . Many of the best figures of the younger generation all have divine path inheritances . Now that the Nine Cloud Palace was humiliated by the Starry School, I hope that one of you will be able to cultivate at the Holy Zhi Palace . For these last two months, cultivate in isolation . Prepare for the Holy Road at the beginning of the next year . "
Jin Chengfeng felt urgent . As a top clan in the Divine Sky City, nothing would change in the short term, but if there were no strong descendants, they would still fall .
"Yes . " Everyone nodded, eyes sharp . They were descendants of a top clan in the Divine Sky City, but they weren't significant in the entire Barren State . They had no special rights and the Holy Zhi Palace wouldn't make exceptions for them . The only option was to step onto the Holy Road .
West Court, Dragon Clan Long Mu seemed to have something on his mind . Instead of cultivating at school, he came to the West Court .
"Is Ling'er still not feeling better?" he asked a servant .
"She's the same as before . She often loses her temper," the servant replied wryly . When she first arrived at the West Court, the miss would often throw tantrums . Later, Ye Futian changed her . After he died, she went back to normal .
"Mu'er, ignore that girl . " A beautiful woman walked over . It was Madame Long .
"Auntie," Long Mu greeted her .
"I heard that you wanted to try the Holy Road to prepare for three years later?" Madame Long asked .
"Yes . " Long Mu nodded . He knew that there would be no hope this time . But three years later, he would be at the most advantageous plane .
"The Holy Road is dangerous . There may be chances, but it's the most dangerous trial path in the Barren State . Many people die . Everyone on the road is of the same generation . There are no rules or seniors, so killing is common . It will be very dangerous for you to enter with your current plane . "
Madame Long was clear that all the geniuses of the Barren State would be gathered on the Holy Road . It would be a huge event . Long Mu wasn't even at the pinnacle of the Arcana Plane . He could face great risks .
"I'll have weapons with me and I'll be careful . I won't let myself be in too much danger," Long Mu said . "After all, my goal isn't the Holy Zhi Palace . I'm just going to get a feeling and challenge myself . "
"Since you've decided, I won't say anything else . Cultivate well . " Madame Long nodded . Trying out the Holy Road was probably the dream of everyone in Long Mu's generation!
