Chapter 832 - 117: Jiangling Prefecture Lord Zhou Xun

Chapter 832: Chapter 117: Jiangling Prefecture Lord Zhou Xun

Zhou Xun heard these words and couldn’t help but feel happy for Wang Erniu,

speaking of which,

Wang Erniu’s life encounters since his debut have been truly astonishing.

In those years, when both of them were at Red Leaf Square and had just joined the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Wang Erniu was quickly favored by the Lin Family and recruited as an external son-in-law.

Afterward, he shifted to the Sword Dao and successfully established his foundation!

Then it was unstoppable, with top-tier Sword Dao Secret Techniques like ’Geng Metal Sword Pill Technique’, ’Sword Shadow Unification Technique’, and ’Celestial Essence Sword Array’ emerging one after another,

not long after arriving in the Central Continent, he was appreciated by True Monarch Nine Swords and accepted as an heir,

and now in Great Jin, he has become the Saint Heir of Sword Lake Palace,

experiences like these make him a Child of Fortune.

Thus Zhou Xun joked, "Erniu, now that you’re the Saint Heir of Sword Lake Palace, we’ll rely on you here in Great Jin in the future."

Wang Erniu scratched his head embarrassingly, "Big brother is joking. In terms of Sword Dao talent, I’m much worse compared to you!"

Then the four of them chatted about cultivation,

Liuu He, being a top-tier sword cultivator at Nascent Soul Peak, naturally had profound Sword Dao attainments from which Zhou Xun and Wang Erniu both benefited greatly,

even True Monarch Tianci gained quite a bit.

In the following days, Liuu He stayed at the Cave Mansion, carefully guiding Wang Erniu in Sword Dao, allowing him to make considerable progress in just a few days.

In this way, the competition of Guiyang Prefecture soon arrived.

Guiyang Prefecture is the least competitive in all of Jingzhou.

...

Jinyang Immortal City, West City Gate Arena.

Today is the last round of Guiyang Prefecture’s competition,

one is a tall and sturdy man dressed in beast hide,

the other is Wang Erniu,

they are now at the hottest stage,

only to see Wang Erniu forming a seal with his hands, pointing to the golden flying sword in front of him,

the golden flying sword then transformed into an afterimage, striking directly onto the illusionary Dharma Aspect of the tall man opposite him,

accompanied by a deafening roar, the tall man’s illusionary Dharma Aspect shook violently, its surface rippling as if about to shatter.

In response, the man’s face changed dramatically, quickly increasing his mana output in an attempt to stabilize the Dharma Aspect.

However, Wang Erniu’s attack did not stop there; he immediately activated his sword fingers repeatedly, with strands of golden Sword Qi wrapping around the Dharma Aspect like spirit snakes.

The collision between these Sword Qi and the Dharma Aspect burst into dazzling light, each impact causing the Dharma Aspect to tremble intensely, its brilliance gradually fading.

The spectators below watched wide-eyed and breathless, nervously observing this fierce duel.

"This person’s Sword Dao attainments are truly amazing; the golden flying sword under his control is like a flood dragon emerging from the sea, with boundless power!" exclaimed an elder.

Amidst the crowd’s astonished exclamations, Wang Erniu shouted loudly once again, and the golden flying sword instantly split into three hundred and sixty Sword Lights,

it was the Celestial Essence Sword Array, enveloping the tall man’s Dharma Aspect.

The sword array rotated slowly, each Sword Light flickering with dazzling brilliance as if accumulating tremendous power.

Despair surged in the tall man’s heart, knowing his Dharma Aspect was about to be broken; once shattered, he would suffer severe damage.

Yet he refused to concede defeat, forcibly mobilizing the remaining mana within him, trying to break through the sword array’s encirclement.

Just then, a fleeting look appeared in Wang Erniu’s eyes; he clasped his hands tightly together, chanting under his breath.

The radiance within the sword array instantly intensified; strands of golden sword silk formed, slicing from various directions,

it was one of the top-tier Divine Techniques of sword cultivators, "Transforming Sword into Silk."

"Zzz..."

In no time, the golden threads collided with the massive Dharma Aspect, producing a piercing sound,

but soon afterward,

the tall man’s illusionary Dharma Aspect became overwhelmed, shattered with a roar, and dissipated as specks of light scattered in the air.

The tall man himself seemed struck by a thunderbolt, spewing blood and flying backward, landing heavily below the arena.

Subsequently, a middle-aged Confucian scholar in a white robe flew overhead and announced:

"In the final round of Guiyang Prefecture, Wang Erniu wins!"

With a pleased expression, Wang Erniu approached Zhou Xun, bowed and said:

"Big brother, little brother did not disgrace the mission!"

Zhou Xun was also greatly pleased:

"With this, we have secured two prefectures; next, it’s up to Daoist Brother Tianci."

...

Jinyang Immortal City, Imperial City Plaza,

today, the plaza is colorfully illuminated, with a high stage covering a few hundred square meters and five to six zhang in height built in the middle.

Because a significant event is about to occur in the plaza:

The inauguration of the new Prefecture Lord!

Only those who undergo the inauguration ceremony are truly recognized by the entire Great Jin.

Zhou Xun, Wang Erniu, and True Monarch Tianci arrived at the plaza early, standing to one side as they watched the busy crowd and magnificent decorations, feeling a myriad of emotions.

"Big brother, I never thought we could really secure the Prefecture Lord positions for three prefectures," Wang Erniu commented emotionally.

Initially, their plan was to secure two,

even one would do at worst,

but unexpectedly, all three of them stood through to the final round and defeated their opponents.

The day after Guiyang Prefecture’s competition ended, followed by the Lingling Prefecture,

the participants’ level at this prefecture was even less competitive than Guiyang Prefecture,

True Monarch Tianci swept through with ease,

even the middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in the final round didn’t endure ten rounds before being defeated by True Monarch Tianci.

"Yes, now having obtained the Prefecture Lord position, we can integrate into Great Jin’s system; it’s said that the treasures in the secret repository of the Great Jin Dynasty are extremely rare in the outside world!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

His Phoenix Butterfly requires Illusion Spirit Liquid to advance to become a Nether Illusion Spirit Butterfly.
