The newly appointed Second Elder

"The head Arcana Master of Fine Gods Academy is called Mu Feng. He's an extremely stubborn old man. Back then, I went to Fine Gods Academy to ask about the Thousandfold Fossil, but I was chased out by that old man."

Speaking of this, Elder Shiyuan's face turned pale. It was obvious that he had been bullied back then.

"Mu Feng?"

Muttering softly, Zhuowen remembered this name. When he entered Fine Gods College in the future, he would definitely get clues about the Thousand Fold Fossil from this person.

"Young man, you actually have a Rank 0 Primordial Array like the Greater Infinite Sword Formation?

I remember that this Primordial Array was incomplete. Just now, I saw that your Sword Formation was complete. Could it be that you repaired it? "

Elder Shi Yuan stared at the Greater Limitless Sword Formation around Zhuo Wen with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Nodding his head, Zhuowen smiled and said, "This is also a coincidence. I found an incomplete Sword Formation in the Greater Infinite Sword Formation and repaired it completely."

"Little friend, it seems that your luck is not shallow. You were actually able to find an incomplete small sword formation."

Elder Shiyuan nodded his head and did not continue to ask. After all, everyone had their secrets and he naturally would not get to the bottom of it.

"There are a total of five sword moves in the Greater Infinite Sword Formation. May I know how many moves you have mastered?" Elder Shiyuan suddenly asked.

Zhuowen's eyes flickered and he replied, "The first two moves are the Blood Weeping Move and the Yin-Yang Move."

Although Zhuowen's mental strength had reached Rank 0 Great Completion and it was not a big problem for him to comprehend the five moves of the Greater Infinite Sword Formation, he had just reached it not long ago and had not completely comprehended it. It would take a lot of time to completely comprehend it.

"As for the last three moves, I have some insights. I will pass them to you as a reward for helping me seal the Nine-colored Refining Flame!"

With that, Elder Shi Yuan flicked his finger and a white light shot out from the tip of his finger and entered between Zhuowen's eyebrows. Immediately, a stream of information flashed through Zhuowen's mind. It was all about the sword moves in the Infinite Sword Formation.

After roughly browsing through the information in his sea of consciousness, Zhuowen's eyes flashed with joy. With the detailed explanation of these sword moves, Zhuowen could quickly grasp the last three sword moves of the Greater Limitless Sword Formation.

"Young friend, I've never seen such a high level of mental strength in my entire life. Why don't you stay in the Arcane Guild and become the second elder?"

Elder Shiyuan once again invited Zhuowen to become an Elder. Zhuowen was young, but he had the terrifying Mind Strength of a Rank Five Great Completion. His future was limitless. Elder Shiyuan really loved talent and did not want to let him go.

Hearing that, Zhuowen's face showed a trace of hesitation. Becoming the second elder of the Arcane Guild was naturally beneficial to him, but he was afraid that this identity would restrict him too much. He did not like this kind of restriction.

"Young friend, you don't have to worry. The Arcane Guild will not restrict your movements. You're just a nominal second elder. I won't interfere with where you want to go," Elder Shi Yuan said in a serious tone.

"Oh?

Won't interfere with me? "

Zhuowen's eyes showed a trace of surprise. Elder Shi Yuan was really generous. Not only did he let him become the second elder of the Arcane Guild, but he also did not restrict his movements and allowed him to go in and out freely. This was simply a great thing that fell from the sky.

"How about it?

You should agree to it now, right? "Elder Shi Yuan said with a smile.

Zhuowen nodded and smiled. "If that's the case, I'll take the liberty to agree. Thank you, Elder Shi Yuan."

"You don't have to thank me. You're so talented, you'll definitely surpass me one day. If I don't keep a genius like you, I'll really be blind in my old age."

Elder Shi Yuan smiled and waved his hand. Suddenly, he said seriously, "Although I won't interfere with your movements, you're still the second elder of the Arcane Guild. If Baiyang Town is in trouble, you can't sit back and do nothing."

"Of course!" Zhuowen nodded.

"This is the elder's token. Take it first!"

Elder Shi Yuan shook his sleeve and suddenly a black token appeared in Zhuowen's palm. The word 'Two' was engraved on the surface of the token, which should represent the ranking of the elders.

"This token has a communication function. Any elder who is in trouble will use this communication function to send a distress message to other elders!

If you're in trouble in the future, you can use the communication function of the token. I'll go over personally when the time comes, "Elder Shi Yuan said with a smile.

"Oh?

There's a communication function? "Zhuowen stared at the token in his hand in amazement.

Zhuowen chatted with Elder Shi Yuan for a while more before he bade farewell and left Baiyang Town. The Green Emperor Ranking Battle was about to begin. Zhuowen needed to prepare well. His goal this time was to be in the top five of the Green Emperor Ranking Battle.

Outside the square, Elder Shi Yuan silently looked at the figure in the distance. Soon after, he said to the crowd in the square in a clear voice, "Elder Liu Li was killed by Zhuowen because she was not as skilled as him."

"From now on, the second elder of the Arcane Guild is no longer Liu Li but Zhuowen. Do you all understand?"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd in the square was in an uproar. They did not expect Elder Shi Yuan to actually bestow the position of the second elder to the young Zhuowen. It seemed a little ridiculous.

However, when they recalled that Zhuowen could even kill Elder Liu Li, the position of the second elder was worthy of his name.

The other seven elders looked at each other and a bitter smile appeared on their faces. It seemed like Elder Liu Li's death was too unjust …

After returning to the Drunken Spring Pavilion, Zhuowen directly returned to his room. There was only a month left until the ranking battle. Although it would be difficult for Zhuowen to raise his cultivation again.

However, this time, Zhuowen had the detailed explanation of the sword moves of the Infinite Sword Formation that Elder Shi Yuan had given him. He would be able to grasp the last three sword moves of the Infinite Sword Formation in the final period of time. This way, Zhuowen would be much more confident in the ranking battle.

Time flew by like a white steed flitting by a crack. A month had quietly passed. The rising sun slowly rose into the sky and a ray of golden light scattered in the Imperial City.

The originally deserted streets were extremely lively today. The wide streets were bustling with people like dragons. At a glance, it was basically a sea of people.

Everyone's eyes were filled with passion and anticipation. The stream of people was like a huge dragon as they continuously flowed towards the Imperial City at the heart of the Imperial City.

Today was the day of the Azure Emperor Ranking Battle. The hundred geniuses who had emerged from the Peach Blossom Origin Painting would have a real battle to determine the rankings of the Azure Emperor Ranking. This was a true gathering of geniuses, an intense battle that was highly anticipated by everyone.

Within the Drunken Spring Pavilion, Lü Hantian and Lü Nantian led Zhuowen, Luo Xing, Lv Yitao and the rest towards the Imperial City. They were also looking forward to the ranking battle.

Lü Hantian and Lü Nantian had high hopes for Zhuowen. After all, with Zhuowen's strength and talent, they believed that Zhuowen had a very high chance of entering the top ten of the Azure Emperor Ranking.

If Zhuowen really entered the top ten of the Azure Emperor Ranking, he would break the record of the top ten geniuses of the Imperial City. Therefore, Lü Hantian and the rest had high hopes for Zhuowen.

Lü Hantian and the rest were not slow. They entered the Imperial City in half an hour. Due to their previous experience, they were familiar with the huge square in front of the Throne Room.

The ranking battle was a grand event of the Imperial City. With the Azure Emperor's permission, all the members of the Imperial City who had some status in the Imperial City were basically present. In just a moment, the square was filled with people.

In the middle of the square, there were ten huge stages made of green stones. They looked very intimidating.

Lü Hantian led the eight of them and slowly entered the square under the gazes of the crowd. They stopped at a resting area that was specially set up for the hundred geniuses of the Nine Great Provinces to rest.

"Brother Lü, you guys came really early."

A rather enthusiastic voice suddenly sounded. Lü Hantian and the rest turned their heads and saw an old man with sparkling eyes. He was leading a young man in white clothes towards them.

This old man was the County Lord of Liu Yan County, Qiu Chang Sheng. The one following him was the number one genius of Liu Yan County, Qiu Shaoyun.

In this Nine Counties Great War, Liu Yan County was ranked eighth. They were ranked higher than Liu Yan County and had risen one place from the previous Great War. Such a result was actually quite good for Qiu Chang Sheng.

Speaking of which, Qiu Chang Sheng had to thank Zhuowen. If it wasn't for Zhuowen eliminating so many geniuses of Liu Yan County, Liu Yan County might have been ranked last again.

"Brother Qiu!" Lü Nantian greeted him with a smile.

"This time, your Mu Qin County is really in the limelight. Who would have thought that your county's ranking would soar to second place? Especially your County's Zhuowen. This kid is definitely a hidden dragon."

Saying so, Qiu Chang Sheng couldn't help but look at Zhuowen who was behind Lü Nantian. His eyes were filled with envy as he secretly sighed in his heart. Why didn't their Liu Yan County have such a peerless genius?

"Brother Qiu is too kind!" Although Lü Nantian's words were modest, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.

In a certain area of the square, a rather wide palanquin was parked. The veil in front of the palanquin was gently lifted and two beautiful figures slowly walked out.

The two beautiful figures were both young women. One of the women had an ordinary appearance and was not eye-catching at all. Her figure was even curvaceous, causing one to be lost in wild and fanciful thoughts.

The other woman was so beautiful that she could captivate birds and beasts. As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd. Many people stared at this woman with infatuation.

If Zhuowen noticed this, he would definitely recognize these two women. Weren't they Jing Yun and Huangfu Zi Xia whom he had met in the Inspection Treasure Hall?

At this moment, Huangfu Zi Xia also noticed Zhuowen who was behind Lü Hantian. Her beautiful eyes flashed as she said with a complicated expression, "I never thought that the guy we didn't pay attention to back then would actually be such a genius."

The two women had naturally heard of Zhuowen's achievements. Therefore, when they looked at Zhuowen, their gazes contained traces of complicated emotions.

"This Zhuowen has been in the limelight recently. However, it is said that this kid was beaten to a pulp by his highness the second prince in the Peach Blossom Origin Diagram. If he meets his highness the second prince in this ranking competition, this kid will definitely lose."

Standing at the side, Huangfu Zi Xia crossed her arms in front of her chest and said with some disdain. Back then, Zhuowen had not given her any face at all. Even now, she was still brooding about it. Therefore, her attitude towards Zhuowen was naturally not good.
