Chapter 581

The Holy Zhi Palace chose disciples once every three years . It was a huge event in the Barren State . So many prides came from the nine Holy Roads . They were all talents famous in their own places and now, they were all gathered here .
After the rounds of eliminations, the final powerful group lasted until the end .
And in the end, Ye Futian of the Dawn Road was number one .
Until now, many people were still unclear about Ye Futian's background . Some said he was from the Eastern Barren Territory . He'd defeated all the famous figures from the Barren State . He'd humiliated Bai Ze and shockingly defeated Huang Jiuge with one staff . From now on, everyone in the Barren State would know Ye Futian's name .
Hua Jieyu's pretty eyes gazed at the figure on the battlefield . She thought back to when she was 15 years old . During the Fall Quarter Examination of the Qingzhou Academy, the youth had shown his brilliance for the first time and received first place in the written examination . At that time, he'd been young and frivolous . He was as pure as a flawless jade and filled with endless fantasies about the future .
Now, they were adults and had experienced the hardships of life . What never changed was that no matter where they went, he was still the brightest star .
Bai Ze, Yan Jiu, Bing Yi and Chu Shang of the Mortal World, Nan Hao and Nan Feng of the Nantian House, and many other figures all had complicated feelings . Who would've thought that Ye Futian would reach the highest spot in the end?
Gu Yunxi's smile was brilliant . She hadn't improved much through this trip, but she was very satisfied . These experiences would probably be unforgettable for life . However, it was a pity that she probably wouldn't be able to hear Ye Futian play his guqin in the future . He probably wouldn't return to the Celestial Pavilion anymore .
"Do you see it, old man?" Chen Yuan asked Mu Chuan . "When did I ever lie to you?"
Mu Chuan didn't refute it . Instead, he said, "You're really willing to give someone like this to the Holy Zhi Palace?"
"The Roc will always soar in the nine heavens . Are you looking out for me?" Chen Yuan asked . "No matter what, he's the one I chose . He's the Son of the Starry School . "
As the saying went, if a tree stood out from the forest, the wind would destroy it . Being too extraordinary attracted the wrong type of attention, like the Blazing Sun School against Ye Futian .
In the Barren State, the Holy Zhi Palace was the best place for Ye Futian to cultivate . It was filled with talents who were all the best cultivators from around the Barren State . Here, Ye Futian would compete with the top figures . It would be like a battle between pavilions .

The disciples who'd entered the Holy Zhi Palace three or six years ago would all become the motivation for Ye Futian to improve . It was rumored that the competition between the disciples was very intense .
Next, it was time for the big figures to choose their disciples . Countless eyes looked in the direction of the Holy Zhi Palace . Who would become the teachers of the top ten talents?
"Phoenix, Zhuge Xing, Hua Jieyu, if you wish, you can cultivate under me," Sage Daozang invited . Earlier, Phoenix had said that he wished to cultivate under him . Sage Daozang was well-learned and was the chief of the Daozang Pavilion . Many people were willing to enter it .
"Xu Que, if you wish, you can cultivate under me . " The Sword Demon invited Xu Que because the youth had said he wanted to learn swordsmanship with him .
"Xu Que, Huang, you can enter the Tianxing Pavilion," another strong cultivator said . It was Sage Tianxing, chief of the Tianxing Pavilion, one of the top six pavilions . It was in charge of the laws of the Holy Zhi Palace .
"Bai Ze, Zhuge Xing, Hua Jieyu, if you wish, you can cultivate in the Holy Sage Pavilion," an elder from the Holy Sage Pavilion said at that time . This wasn't an invitation straight from the pavilion's second chief, but the elder's words represented the pavilion .
The Holy Sage Pavilion had invited Bai Ze, Zhuge Xing, and Hua Jieyu instead of Ye Futian who had defeated the first two and was the winner of the battle .
The Holy Sage Pavilion was the top pavilion of the Holy Zhi Palace . Huang Jiuge wasn't invited, because he'd already said that he wouldn't enter the Holy Zhi Palace . Xiao Junyi wasn't invited, because he was a disciple of the Dark Sage . The Dark Sage had a bad reputation in the Barren State, so the Holy Zhi Palace obviously wouldn't accept Xiao Junyi who cultivated with dark power .
But what about Ye Futian? Yu Sheng and Yuan Zhan hadn't been invited either .
Many people were confused . Some even started whispering amongst themselves . This was the Holy Sage Pavilion . They couldn't help but start thinking about the invitations .
Was it because of Ye Futian and Bai Ze's battle? That battle had shown that Ye Futian and Bai Ze probably couldn't coexist . Then the Holy Sage Pavilion probably chose Bai Ze over Ye Futian because of Bai Luli .
As for why they also invited Zhuge Xing and Hua Jieyu, everyone knew that it probably wasn't aimed at Ye Futian . It was because Zhuge Qingfeng, patriarch of the Zhuge Family, was also a disciple of the Holy Sage Pavilion . Zhuge Xing and Hua Jieyu were from the Zhuge Family, so it was logical to invite them .
Even the other pavilions were surprised . They obviously wanted Ye Futian but didn't invite him because the winner always went to the Holy Sage Pavilion . This was an unsaid rule . They wouldn't go fight for him .

But the Holy Sage Pavilion didn't want him?
Ye Futian also felt this odd atmosphere . The Holy Sage Pavilion had chosen Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing . They both had conflicts with him . Now, other than Huang Jiuge and Xiao Junyi, only he, Yu Sheng, and Yuan Zhan hadn't been invited .
They'd come together .
"There are still some left . Why are you all being so generous?" that strong cultivator from the Holy Sage Pavilion said . The others realized he wanted them to choose .
Clearly, the Holy Sage Pavilion wouldn't choose Ye Futian's group . It wasn't that he didn't approve of them . It was just that he'd chosen Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing . The others could take Ye Futian .
"If you're all willing, you can cultivate in the Daozang Pavilion," Sage Daozang said, smiling . He obviously wouldn't be generous . The pavilion was willing to accept anyone in the top ten, but he could only choose some for the balance .
"The same for the Tianxing Pavilion," the chief said . Since the Holy Sage Pavilion let them have the three, he wouldn't let go of the chance .
Elder Ning made a face . He was an elder of the Tianxing Pavilion .
"The Battle Sage Pavilion wants them," the King Kong Sage said . Everyone's eyes flashed and turned towards him . Other than the Holy Sage Pavilion, only the Battle Sage Pavilion had two members of the Barren Sky Ranking .
"If the Battle Sage Pavilion wants them, why can't you fight for it?" Sage Daozang said, smiling . "Is the King Kong Sage interested in taking a disciple personally?"
"Not me," the King Kong Sage said . "Ye Futian, Yu Sheng, if you're willing, you can cultivate under the chief . Yuan Zhan and Yi Xiaoshi can also join the Battle Sage Pavilion . "
"The Sage Douzhan is accepting disciples?" Sage Daozang's eyes flashed . Sage Douzhan had been cultivating in isolation for many years . No one knew what level he was at now . He hadn't accepted disciples in a long while either . He must really like Ye Futian and Yu Sheng .
"Yes," the King Kong Sage said .

Countless people looked towards the Holy Zhi Palace, their hearts trembling . Ye Futian and Yu Sheng's group really did suit the Sage Douzhan . Their explosive powers were domineering while the Sage Douzhan was the best in martial arts in the Barren State . He was seventh on the Barren Sky Ranking .
There were only six super figures before him .
Huang Jiuge looked up in the air, surprise flashing past his eyes . He remembered his father had once said that the Sage Douzhan was the one person on the Barren Sky Ranking that he didn't want to fight with . This was someone who could fight to the death . He was terrifying .
His father was fifth on the Barren Sky Ranking . It was imaginable how terrifying the Sage Douzhan was .
Ye Futian looked towards Zhuge Mingyue . Then he heard her voice in his mind, "Choose the Battle Sage Pavilion . " Earlier, she'd told Ye Futian to be prepared for not entering the Holy Sage Pavilion . She hadn't considered the Battle Sage Pavilion at that time, but since they were willing to accept Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, they were the obvious choice .
The chief of the Holy Zhi Palace didn't care about outside matters, so the second chief was the most powerful . After that, the most powerful was the Sage Douzhan . He was also the most suitable for Ye Futian and Yu Sheng . The second chief probably didn't have the time to teach younger disciples .
Ye Futian's eyes flashed . He was also clear that this was the best choice for him now .
Gazing at the King Kong Sage, he said, "Senior, we have a master . "
"No problem," a deep voice said from the distance . "Inherit my legacy but keep your master in your heart . "
"It's the Sage Douzhan . " Everyone turned serious . This was someone in the top ten of the Barren Sky Ranking .
"Senior, can I cultivate in the Battle Sage Pavilion too?" a bright voice said at that time . Many people looked to the side of the battlefield . A beautiful figure stood there, looking towards the Holy Zhi Palace . It was Hua Jieyu .
"The Battle Sage Pavilion doesn't suit you," Sage Douzhan said . "Do not waste yourself . "
"Jieyu, the senior is right," Ye Futian said . The Battle Sage Pavilion was probably a place for battles . That was why they wanted him and Yu Sheng .
Hua Jieyu looked at Ye Futian, seemingly unwilling .
"Alright, start to choose," the elder on the steps said .
"I'm willing to enter the Daozang Pavilion," Phoenix said, bowing to Sage Daozang .
"I'm willing to enter the Tianxing Pavilion . " Huang made his choice .
"I'm willing to enter the Sword Pavilion . " Xu Que naturally chose the Sword Demon .
"I'm willing to enter the Holy Sage Pavilion . " Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing chose the Holy Sage Pavilion .
"I'm willing to enter the Daozang Pavilion," Hua Jieyu said . Many people were shocked . The Holy Sage Pavilion had also invited her, but she chose the Daozang Pavilion instead .
Bai Ze and Zhuge Xing glanced at her, but Sage Daozang smiled .
Ye Futian glanced at Yuan Zhan and Yi Xiaoshi . They communicated telepathically . Then he said, "We are willing to join the Battle Sage Pavilion . "
Everyone chose where they wanted to cultivate . The triennial enrollment of Holy Zhi Palace disciples was officially over .
The Thousand Holy Islands had chosen hundreds of disciples . However, other than the Wanxiang Pavilion, the five pavilions of the core island had chosen less than 100 people . Those who entered the main pavilions were even fewer .
Ye Futian's group had benefited the most . Under everyone's eyes, they'd become war gods with one battle . Everyone knew them and now, they'd also become disciples of the Sage Douzhan, seventh on the Barren Sky Ranking . They'd truly shot to the top .
Nan Feng, Bing Yi, Yan Jiu and the others who'd had conflicts with Ye Futian felt troubled . Ye Futian's status was above them now!
