Mu Zhiqiu had just entered the Noble Plane . She was only at the lowest level, but when she released her power, she was still couldn't be compared to that day at the Zhaixing House .
She was extremely talented . Because of luck, she was able to borrow Sage Will . Her combat ability was even stronger and regular Noble figures weren't her match . Some of the people that she'd crushed were Grade-8 Nobles who were stronger than her, but they still fell from one hit . After all, she could enter the Holy Zhi Palace directly . Her talent was recognized by the seniors there, so one could imagine how powerful she was . Thus, Yu Sheng said her combat was aggressive and hoped Ye Futian could make her a maid .
Right now, starry light flowed . The air turned into a world of stars . This was her Celestial Dharma . There were also stars in her deep eyes that had now become Noble Will . It pressed down against Ye Futian's mind . He suddenly felt like he couldn't move . He knew his mind was being restricted by the Noble Will .
The Noble Will that he'd comprehended before bloomed to resist this weight . Blinding light flowed into the Polearm of Divine Destruction . It trembled slightly and a huge boom sounded . The surrounding mountain exploded . Spiritual Qi transformed into meteorites and spun around Ye Futian like a horrible storm . It contained lightning too, making the air extremely tense .
They'd both comprehended the Celestial Way so their abilities were similar . The two starry storms soon collided in the vast space, clashing continuously with horrible sounds .
Yu Sheng and the others retreated into the distance, but neither Mu Zhiqiu nor Ye Futian acted . They kept standing there . Mu Zhiqiu was dressed in light-colored clothing and her long hair flew in the wind . Ye Futian's white robe fluttered . He gripped the Polearm tightly and transformed it into a long staff that he stood on the ground . The starry storm around him was terrifying .
The Celestial Way seemed to appear in Ye Futian's mind . Meteorites crashed down wildly . But in that illusory scene, Ye Futian gripped his Polearm and sacred light shone . The meteorites exploded under the Polearm's attacks, unable to hurt his mind .
In the outside world, stones and boulders exploded . The ground underfoot cracked and crumbled . The two hovered in the air, still staring at each other . The mountain crumbled wildly and joined the stone windstorm . Around them, a horrible scene appeared . Everything had turned into dust and smoke .

Yu Sheng's group retreated once again . Looking at that chaotic space from a distance, it seemed to have been swallowed up . They could barely see it .
At that time, they saw a staff's shadow appear in the chaotic space . It had transformed to thousands of meters long and crashed against the starry space . Stars shattered . When the staff fell down, the stars were destroyed, but the space was still chaotic . Dust and dirt flew .
A long while later, when everything subsided, the Polearm disappeared . The two were still standing in place as if they hadn't budged . However, blood trickled from Mu Zhiqiu's lips . Paired with her features, it looked chillingly beautiful .
Mu Zhiqiu stared hard at Ye Futian . Then she stepped forward and landed before Ye Futian . Seeing those features, Ye Futian had the urge to wipe her blood away . "Seeing someone and finding them loveable" was probably describing this scene .
"What are you looking at?" Ye Futian asked .
"Your plane is enough for you to comprehend your own Noble Will . After that, your plane will rise . Then with your Polearm, barely anyone on the Holy Road can be your match," Mu Zhiqiu said softly . Ye Futian had comprehended many Noble Wills before, but they weren't very deep or collected . They couldn't be fused with his abilities and had to use outside help .
He was strong with the Polearm, but his Noble Will was weaker . If he comprehended it, his combat ability could increase . If he tried for the Noble Plane in the future, he would have no obstacles .
"I'm in Grade-7 Arcana Plane now . Will there be a problem?" Ye Futian asked . He naturally understood that his Noble Will now wasn't true Noble Will, just like how Mu Zhiqiu had used Sage Will earlier . Noble Will could only be used by Nobles .
"The talented ones can comprehend it earlier so there won't be any problems," Mu Zhuqiu said . "Many prides can comprehend it in the Arcana Plane . Then there aren't any obstacles when they break into the Noble Plane . Your talent is more extraordinary . Even if you're in Grade-8 or Grade-7, it's still possible . After all, you've inherited the Divine Path . "

"So you admit it?" Ye Futian smiled .
"I keep my words . I will listen to you on the Holy Road . " Mu Zhiqiu went behind Ye Futian and stood there quietly . She didn't ask for the Polearm, but after the Holy Road, she would continue cultivating . She would definitely defeat this youth .
Her grandfather had said that she was talented, but she could still meet even more talented people while cultivating . In that case, she should use them as targets and work to surpass them .
Ye Futian chuckled . This girl was quite cute . If Mu Zhiqiu knew his impression of her, she might be mortified .
"Your brother is from the Holy Zhi Palace . Is there any way to raise in cultivation plane on the Holy Road?" Ye Futian asked Mu Zhiqiu . He wasn't worried about passing the Holy Road . Only those in or below the Noble Plane were here so it couldn't restrict him . Plus, he'd only come to challenge himself . He didn't have to go cultivate in the Holy Zhi Palace .
Everything was for cultivation .
Mu Zhiqiu looked at Ye Futian . She indeed knew a hidden secret that only those who entered the Holy Zhi Palace would know . Of course, this secret was useless for her . She was talented, but she was only in the lowest grade of the Noble Plane . There were also those in Grade-8 or Grade-7 . She couldn't do it when there were so many powerful people here .
"What do you know?" Ye Futian asked after seeing her eyes .

Mu Zhiqiu took out a holy badge . Light flowed across it as if it contained some strange power .
"He once said that there are many cultivation places on the Holy Road . This may help with cultivation, but that's for regular people . You're the inheritor of the Divine Path . Looking for cultivation relics won't help you much," Mu Zhiqiu whispered . "But this holy badge contains a secret . It's the special item of the Holy Zhi Palace . After you exit, you have to return it to them . It's rumored that if you have many holy badges, you can exchange it for something good . That's true, but that's not the biggest secret . Instead, it lies with the badge itself . "
"The badge itself?" Ye Futian took out his badge with a strange expression .
"It's a key . You can't see anything when you only have one, but when you have enough holy badges, they will change and you'll understand the mystery of the Holy Road . You can even open a secret area hidden by the Holy Zhi Palace on the road," Mu Zhiqiu said . "There's one on each of the nine roads . In fact, they're within the city on the road . Nine is the critical number . There are nine cities on each road . This means that there are 81 treasures on the Holy Road . "
Ye Futian thought of how the Nantian House had closed the city and required holy badges to enter . Qin Yin also said that all top figures would do this to enter the Holy Road . Was it because of this?
"How many do you need?" Ye Futian asked .
"I don't know the specifics, but it's a terrifying number . This is a secret, but most top figures know about it . Even so, it's still difficult to do . It's useless for regular people even if they find out," Mu Zhiqiu answered softly . Ye Futian understood, obviously . Even if regular people knew that robbing holy badges could open up a huge secret field, they had no way of robbing them . It would be suicide .
"So the Holy Road is prepared just to challenge those at the top," Ye Futian said, sighing . If they needed a lot of holy badges, how many times would they have to fight? This wasn't realistic . It was difficult even for top figures, which was why they thought to take over cities .
"Why did the Holy Zhi Palace open the Holy Road?" Mu Zhiqiu asked .
Ye Futian froze and then understood what she meant . This was how the cultivation world was . Every force that admitted disciples was like this, not just the Holy Zhi Palace . Most people were only there to complement the top . All strong cultivators in the Barren State were in action this time, but the regular prides were only to add to the number .
Geniuses depended on the context too . For example, many of the talents from the Divine Sky City didn't seem very brilliant here .
"When the Holy Road opens, the Barren State moves . Many think this is a chance for them, but that's only what they think . In reality, they're stepping stones for the others . " Mu Zhiqiu's words were straightforward . Many would find this cruel, but Ye Futian knew it was the truth .
"You're right . It's would be uninteresting to just complement the others on this path," Ye Futian said, chuckling . Mu Zhiqiu looked at him, but Ye Futian stepped forward and continued saying, "Since I'm here, I must leave my footprints on the Holy Road . "
Looking at Ye Futian's back, Mu Zhiqiu realized that Ye Futian wasn't satisfied with being lonely . He was so talented . She guessed that if he had the Polearm, he could battle with Grade-8 Noble talents . Even then, he still wasn't the cream of the crop here, unless he entered the Noble Plane .
Mu Zhiqiu caught up to Ye Futian . Yu Sheng and the others also followed .
"What do you want to do?" Mu Zhiqiu asked .
"I want a city," Ye Futian replied . Those top figures all ruled over cities like kings . He also wanted one . That would be his goal for the Holy Road!
