The Holy Road's exit was similar to the connection between the Ancient Barren World and the Eastern Barren Territory . When Ye Futian walked out of the Dawn Road, they were on a mountain . Many people looked over . They seemed to know that they were coming and waited there . They seemed to be filled with curiosity .
These people all had different cultivations . A group of strong cultivators guarded on the side and said, "The Holy Road will be open for three days . During these three days, you cannot leave this island city . Remember, no fighting is allowed . If you have disagreements, find the island leader to resolve it . Those who break the rules will be killed . Three days later, you will know what to do . "
"Yes . " Everyone nodded . These three days were probably for buffering . If those on the Holy Road had a chance to get a holy badge, they would come out in three days . However, Ye Futian guessed that three days weren't needed . If one couldn't get the holy badge on the first day, they probably would never get it . Those that got it would come straight out .
Furthermore, this seemed to be an island city . Fighting wasn't allowed and those who broke the rules would be killed . The rules were extremely strict .
Now, they were in the world of the Holy Zhi Palace . Naturally, they had to follow the Holy Zhi Palace's rules .
"You can go now," the strong cultivator said .
Ye Futian turned towards the mass walking behind him . He put his hands together . "We are now in the Holy Zhi Palace's world and it's safe . We should bid farewell now . "
"Master Ye, take care . " Many people bowed to Ye Futian gratefully . They were safe now . Fighting wasn't allowed in the island city .
"Yes . " Ye Futian nodded and then his body flickered away . People were watching from afar, but they didn't know the people walking out . The people of the island city were subsidiaries of the Holy Zhi Palace . They were under the Holy Zhi Palace's authority .
"Mu Zhiqiu, where are we?" Ye Futian's body shone . He discovered this was a true city . There were restaurants and inns . It was flourishing .
Other than Mu Zhiqiu's group, there were also people from the Starry School and Mount Jiuxian beside him .

"Don't you know about the Thousand Holy Islands?" Beside him, an air warship appeared . Bing Yi, Chu Shang and those from the Mortal World were on the airship . The speaker was Bing Yi . Her beautiful features had a cold aura . She gazed at Ye Futian with curiosity in her pretty eyes .
She really wanted to know how Ning Huang had died .
Had Yu Sheng really killed him in his demonic state? And why did Yuan Zhan join them?
Yuan Zhan was still there in Ye Futian's group . They seemed to be traveling together . He wouldn't do this if it was just simple cooperation on the Dawn Road, right?
"I'm ignorant . How can I be compared to the goddess of the Mortal World?" Ye Futian smiled faintly at Bing Yi .
Bing Yi furrowed her brows . Ye Futian seemed not to take her seriously . His eyes wandered across her body as if judging her . This gaze made her upset . It was practically blasphemy .
The top figures of the Barren State wouldn't have such impolite gazes and regular people wouldn't even dare to look at her . Ye Futian was an anomaly .
Bing Yi huffed coldly . She looked away and her clothing fluttered . "If you don't know, then you can look in the sky," she said coolly . "You'll see what kind of place it is . "
With that, the air warship moved past them, hurrying high into the sky . Ye Futian glanced at Mu Zhiqiu and Yuan Zhan . They nodded . "It's my first time here too," Yuan Zhan said . "Let's take a look . "
"Okay," Ye Futian answered . The group roared upward, getting higher and higher .
As their bodies rose up, the city and buildings below them grew smaller in their vision, becoming a bunch of speckles . As they continued rising, Ye Futian's heart quivered . When he was high enough, the scene before him shocked him slightly .
The city below was actually built atop a mountain . It was thickly dotted . The mountain was tall and rose into the clouds, making the city seem to be floating in the sky .

What truly impressed Ye Futian was that, when standing in the sky, he didn't only see the floating city below . He saw the boundless sea and countless mountains of varying heights standing in the sea . Every mountain had a city atop it . Looking over, they were like thousands of islands . The scene was impressive and magnificent .
This was a huge sea area . All the mountains rose up from the sea . However, the seawater was strange too . Instead of angry waves, it was calm . In fact, the blue sea reflected the blue sky, white clouds, and the various mountains .
"The Thousand Holy Islands . " Ye Futian's heart trembled . The air warship wasn't too far away .
Bing Yi glanced at Ye Futian and said coolly, "This is the Holy River . The Thousand Holy Islands on the river all belong to the Holy Zhi Palace . All the island leaders come from the Holy Zhi Palace . At first, they were the family of the Holy Zhi Palace disciples . As the generations passed, more and more family members lived here, forming the Thousand Holy Islands of the present day . All disciples who complete their cultivation and wish to remain here will receive an island and become the leader . That island would belong to him . "
Ye Futian nodded slightly . After countless years, the Holy Zhi Palace was no longer just a simple palace . Everything on this Holy River belonged to the Holy Zhi Palace . There were innumerable strong cultivators .
He scanned the Thousand Holy Islands . His gaze landed on the floating mountain range in the center . It was extremely magnificent and a majestic palace stood atop the peak .
"That's where we're going three days later—the Holy Zhi Palace . Are you ready?" Bing Yi asked . Then she steered her air warship away . During these three days, they had to prepare for what was next . Now, all the prides of the nine Holy Roads had come out and were in different islands .
Ye Futian stood in the sky for a long while before descending . "Let's go," he said .
Everyone nodded and entered the island city . After the Holy Road opened and the many prides arrived, the island became lively . All the restaurants and inns were busy . People would often ask about what had happened on the Holy Road . They would even communicate with other island cities to learn about other roads .
Two days later, someone was discussing the Holy Road in the island's biggest restaurant .
"Apparently, Ning Huang, the descendant of Elder Ning, was killed by Yu Sheng, a demonic figure . He's still not a Noble, but he can enter the demonic state and become a horrible murderous god . He beheaded Ning Huang . He's like the god of death . "

"On the Dawn Road, it was rumored that Xiao Junyi's the inheritor of the Dark Saint . He's a horribly frightening existence and may be the strongest of the Dawn Road . "
"What about Yan Jiu from the Sword Saint Villa?"
"Yan Jiu was hurt by Ye Futian and Yuan Zhan working together . Even his holy badges were stolen . He probably will never forget this humiliation . "
"Who are Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, and his group? They came out of nowhere and are so powerful . The enrollment will be very interesting this time . The Dawn Road alone has so many talents . "
"Indeed . This is only the Dawn Road . The strongest three Holy Roads of the nine are usually the Barren Road in the center, the Nether Road of the north, and the Heaven Road of the west . I'm sure shocking figures have appeared from these roads too . "
"The Barren Road gathers the prides from the central region . It's always the Holy Road with the most monstrously talented figures . Their average skill level is the highest too . There's nothing more to be said," someone said, chuckling . Eight of the Holy Roads crossed through the Zhongzhou City Region to the central region . The ninth road was right inside Zhongzhou City . It was where the strong cultivators in Zhongzhou City gathered .
Zhongzhou City was the biggest main city of Barren State . One could imagine how bustling it was .
The Zhuge Family wasn't within Zhongzhou City . Instead, they were outside in what was called the Zhongzhou lands . The Mortal World, Nantian House, Sword Saint Villa, and many other forces were in this area . Going east, it was the eastern region of the Barren State where the Zhaixing House and Divine Sky City were .
"I heard that a young lord came from White Cloud City . He's extremely talented and young . He's only around 20 years old, but he's already in the Noble Plane and has frightening combat ability . He's comparable to how the young city lord of White Cloud City had been . "
"Didn't someone crazy from the Zhuge Family come too? If you add that woman, then there are two, but the woman's plane is slightly lower . "
"Some people came from the Demon God Clan too . Tomorrow, we'll be able to see all the monsters of the nine Holy Roads . Just wait and see . "
Everyone discussed animatedly . At that time, someone stood up and left the restaurant . Many people followed him .
Ye Futian arrived at the edge of the island city . There was an abyss before him . He gazed at the city in the distance . He wondered which island Jieyu was in . They would meet tomorrow .
At that time, Hua Jieyu was cultivating in an inn on another island . Footsteps sounded . Hua Jieyu opened her pretty eyes . She was too beautiful to be from this world .
"Senior Sister . " Hua Jieyu smiled .
"Cultivating again?" Zhuge Mingyue grinned . This island was part of the Holy Zhi Palace and outsiders shouldn't be able to step foot inside . Zhuge Mingyu wasn't really an outsider though . Her father and brother had all cultivated here before, so she was an exception .
"Yes . " Hua Jieyu nodded . "Senior Sister, will he come?"
"Who knows?" Zhuge Mingyue smiled . "Oh, that annoying guy brought a handsome youth here . Apparently, he's some powerful figure from White Cloud City here for a visit . Would you like to see him?"
Hua Jieyu naturally knew that the "annoying guy" was the young city lord of White Cloud City .
"Senior Sister, you know me . " Hua Jieyu smiled gently .
"Yes, so I rejected him for you . " Zhuge Mingyue chuckled at Hua Jieyu . "Don't know where that kid got his luck so that you only think about him . Jieyu, what's so good about him?"
"Him?" Hua Jieyu thought of that bad boy and smiled brilliantly . "Nothing's good!"
"But you still like him?" Zhuge Mingyue giggled .
"I just do . " Hua Jieyu's smile was very bright . Looking at that beautiful girl, Zhuge Mingyue shook her head . This girl was in too deep . There was no hope for her!
