Arcane Ceremony
Deng!
Zhuo Xiangding suddenly stood up, knocking over the stone stool beside his feet. He stared straight at Gu Yue Tian, his lips trembling as he asked, "You're saying that those thousands of cultivators who were all at the Human King Realm and above were all annihilated by Zhuo Wen alone?"
Gu Yue Tian's elbows were also trembling at this moment. Clearly, Gu Yue Tian's words were too impactful. Those were thousands of Human King Realm cultivators, and there were even quite a number of Earth King Realm cultivators among them. How could such a force be annihilated by Zhuo Wen alone?
"It's absolutely true!
Zhuo Wen relied on the Earth Rank Soul Treasure he obtained from the Ancient Cave Mansion to annihilate those thousands of Human King Realm cultivators in one fell swoop. "
At this moment, Gu Yue Tian's eyes shone with a blazing light. When he spoke of Zhuo Wen's battle achievements, even he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Annihilating an army of thousands of people with the strength of a single person, such a battle achievement would make one's blood boil just thinking about it!
On the other hand, Gu Lie's expression was complicated and fearful. When he heard of Zhuo Wen's battle achievements, he also thought that there was something wrong with his ears. Now, Gu Lie couldn't help but think of the stubborn young man who dared to raise his head and hold his chest high during the Battle of the City Square.
The stubborn young man in his mind overlapped with the young man who annihilated thousands of cultivators with the strength of a single person. Gu Lie suddenly let out an involuntary sigh. He began to regret his actions of offending the young man back then.
"As for the disaster that I mentioned, it is because of this. Those thousands of practitioners were basically experts sent out by the various factions in the province. Now that Zhuo Wen has annihilated all of them, he has offended the majority of the factions in the province. I'm afraid that those factions in the province will not let this matter rest and will do harm to your Zhuo Family. I think that your Zhuo Family had better make plans as soon as possible!" Gu Yue Tian sighed softly as he spoke somewhat helplessly.
After a long time, Zhuo Xiangding recovered from his shock and suddenly said heroically, "It seems that this is indeed troublesome!
However, our Zhuo Family isn't afraid. At worst, we'll fight against those forces!
As long as Zhuo Wen is fine, our Zhuo Family will definitely rise. What's wrong with sacrificing the current Zhuo Family? "
"That's right!
The reason our Zhuo Family has become so prosperous is all thanks to Zhuo Wen!
As long as he's fine, the rise of our Zhuo Family is only a matter of time! "Zhuo Beitian also stood up and said with a stern expression.
Looking at the resolute expressions of the two people in front of him, Gu Yue Tian and the other two sighed. They finally understood just how extraordinary Zhuo Wen's position in the Zhuo Family was!
Just as Gu Yue Tian was about to say something, he suddenly tilted his head and looked at the horizon with a grave expression. He frowned and said, "There's a very powerful aura rushing over here. This aura is at least at the Earth King Stage."
As soon as Gu Yue Tian said this, the few people present couldn't help but stand up and look at the horizon. They saw that in the distance, a black dot was constantly rushing towards them. Its speed was as fast as lightning.
When the black shadow got closer, the few people finally saw the true face of the black shadow. It was actually Zhuo Wen, who had rushed back to the Zhuo Family without stopping.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Zhuo Wen arrived above the Zhuo Family. With a leap, he appeared in the courtyard of the Battle Spirit Pavilion. Zhuo Wen could feel the aura of Gu Yue Tian and the others from afar. Therefore, as soon as he returned to the Zhuo Family, Zhuo Wen directly went to the Battle Spirit Pavilion.
"Zhuo Wen!"
Zhuo Xiangding and Zhuo Beitian took a step forward and arrived in front of him. They carefully sized up the youth who had created a glorious battle record in front of them.
"You've actually reached the Earth King Stage?
And you really obtained the Earth Rank Soul Treasure of the Ancient Cave Dwelling? You even annihilated several thousand warriors at the Human King Stage and above? "Zhuo Xiangding's hands trembled as he placed them on Zhuo Wen's shoulders.
Zhuo Wen was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Zhuo Xiangding would receive the news so quickly. However, after seeing Gu Yue Tian, Gu Lie and Grandmaster Kuraki behind him, he knew that the three of them must have told Zhuo Xiangding the news. After all, with the City Lord's Mansion's ability to gather information, they would naturally be able to gather information outside the cave dwelling without leaking a single drop of information.
"Yes!" Hearing this, Zhuo Wen naturally nodded his head subconsciously.
Although the few of them were mentally prepared, when they saw Zhuo Wen personally nod his head at this moment, they couldn't help but feel their hearts tug violently.
"Zhuo Wen!
Then what do you plan to do next? You've killed those experts. I'm afraid that the forces in the Prefecture Capital won't let this matter rest. It's very likely that they will come looking for trouble. "Gu Yue Tian's gaze was strange as he spoke with some concern.
"You can rest assured!
Miss Qing Lian of the Jade Lady Star Court once promised me that her sect is willing to contain the forces of the Prefecture Capital so that they won't come looking for trouble with our Zhuo Family!
However, what I'm worried about is the battle for the Vitality Tower in two years. At that time, I'll have to go to the Prefecture Capital. At that time, I'm afraid that I'll become a target for everyone. "Zhuo Wen frowned as he spoke until here.
"Hehe!
Kid, you've forgotten your identity as an Arcanist!
With your talent, you should be able to become a third-rank Arcanist within two years. At that time, you only need to go to the Arcanist Guild to take the test and obtain the badge of a third-rank Arcanist. With this identity, even the House of Marquis Qin won't dare to touch you at will when you arrive at the Prefecture Capital. "
Master Kuraki, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with a face full of pride. After all, in the Qing Xuan Empire, a fourth-rank Arcanist's status was comparable to that of an ordinary Noble. A third-rank Arcanist who was slightly weaker would naturally have a high status. Even a Noble might not have the right to casually kill a third-rank Arcanist.
Hearing this, Zhuo Wen's heart suddenly became clear. Master Kuraki was right. As long as he obtained the badge of a third-rank Arcanist in the Arcanist Guild, his status would definitely be elevated by a lot. Even the House of Marquis Qin wouldn't dare to touch him at will.
"I actually forgot about this. Master Kuraki, let's go to the Arcanist Guild to take the test in a few days!
This time, I should be able to obtain the badge of a third-rank Arcanist. "Zhuo Wen looked at Master Kuraki in front of him and said with a smile.
"Kid, there's no need to be in such a hurry!
Your mental strength has already reached the peak of the second-rank. Two years is enough for you to break through the shackles and reach the third-rank. At that time, you can take the test and obtain the badge of a third-rank Arcanist … Wait, kid, what did you say just now? "Master Kuraki patted Zhuo Wen's shoulder and said in a somewhat earnest manner.
However, halfway through his words, the hand on Zhuo Wen's shoulder suddenly stiffened. His eyes suddenly widened as he stared straight at the young man in front of him.
Zhuo Wen shrugged and said, "During the battle for the ancient cavern, I was lucky enough to break through to the third-rank Arcanist Guild. Therefore, I should be able to take the test of a third-rank Arcanist now."
Hiss!
Hiss!
Hiss!
At this moment, the sound of people inhaling cold air suddenly rose and fell. Not only Master Kuraki, but also Gu Yue Tian and Gu Lie beside him.
Zhuo Xiangding and the other three also stiffened at this moment. Their pupils shrank slightly as they stared at the young man in front of them. The atmosphere instantly became somewhat strange and quiet.
"You said that your mental strength has already broken through to the third-rank?
Is this true? "Master Kuraki's lips trembled violently as he asked with a sudden burst of light in his eyes.
Spreading out his hands, Zhuo Wen's mind moved. Mental strength as vast as the starry sky in his Niwan Palace suddenly poured out and filled the entire courtyard. Suddenly, an invisible pressure was produced.
Under this pressure, the few people could not help but bend their knees slightly, and their faces were filled with horror.
"It really is a third-rank Mental strength. Zhuo Wen, I really don't know what words to use to express my current feelings!
I only want to say that you are too monstrous! "The corner of Master Kuraki's mouth twitched, and he could not help but burst out laughing as he cursed.
However, looking at the hearty smile on his face, it also showed the joy in Master Kuraki's heart. After all, Zhuo Wen was his disciple. The more outstanding his disciple was, the happier he would be as his master, and the more face he would have.
"Good!
This is also good. Since your mental strength has already reached the third-rank, then we will depart for Broken Rock City in a month's time. There is an Arcanist Association branch in that city, and the chairman of the Arcanist Association branch is an old acquaintance of yours. "Stroking his long white beard, Master Kuraki said with a hearty smile.
Zhuo Wen nodded, and then asked with some doubt: "Why do we have to depart in a month's time?"
"Haha!
In a month's time, Broken Rock City will hold the Arcanist Ceremony for the younger generation. I want you to participate in that Arcanist Ceremony. You should know that if you are able to obtain victory in the ceremony, the reward is a fourth-rank Yuan Array! "Master Kuraki stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Arcanist Ceremony?
The reward is actually a fourth-rank Yuan Array? "When Zhuo Wen heard this, a glint immediately flashed across his eyes.
In the Ancient Cave Dwelling, Zhuo Wen had once witnessed the might of the fourth-rank Yuan Array, 'Golden Armored General Array'. Under the effects of this array, Lü Yuanhua, whose strength was merely at the Earthly King Stage, was actually able to explosively increase his strength to the Ultimate Emperor Stage. This kind of heaven-defying effect really shocked Zhuo Wen.
Therefore, when he heard about the fourth-rank Yuan Array, Zhuo Wen naturally coveted it in his heart. He fiercely nodded and said: "Then we will depart in a month's time!"
In any case, Zhuo Wen was not in a hurry. After all, he still needed to hand over some of the resources he obtained from the Ancient Cave Dwelling to Zhuo Xiangding before he left. He wanted to ensure that after he left, the Zhuo Family had a certain amount of strength that could withstand the attacks of some factions with ill intentions in the outside world. Only then could he leave with a peace of mind …
Late at night, the sky was filled with stars. In a secluded loft, Zhuo Wen sat quietly with his legs crossed. At this moment, his hands were holding a dim yellow map.
"Xiao Hei!
The Wind Thunder Emperor left a message in his stone coffin. The secret of the Wind Thunder Sacred Symbol is hidden in the map of the cave dwelling. Why can't I see anything special about this map no matter how I look at it?
Do you think that the Wind Thunder Emperor has nothing better to do and is trying to trick us? "Gently putting down the map, Zhuo Wen softly sighed as he looked at Xiao Hei, who was floating in mid-air, and said.
"Trick your head!
The Wind Thunder Emperor has been dead for tens of thousands of years. Do you think he has the time to trick a junior like you?
In his eyes, you are just an ant-like existence. "Xiao Hei's little paw knocked on Zhuo Wen's head and shouted loudly.
