Chen Haoran was the grandmaster in charge of the Union of Artificers in Sunset City. His cultivation base was at the FenShen Realm and he was also able to forge earth-grade spiritual weapons. But in these years, there were many rising stars in the Spirit World. Especially the Lifire Palace's weaponsmith Ji Xingzhu, he was able to suppress all the other weaponsmiths of the same level.
In the past 100 years, three of the spiritual weapons he had forged had already made it onto the rankings. The highest ranking was a low-tier earth-grade spiritual weapon. This caused some of the FenShen Realm weaponsmiths to be stunned.
It was already an incredible feat for a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator to forge earth-grade spiritual weapons. There was also a dividing line in the Earth Carnage Rankings. The top 50 were earth-grade spiritual weapons while the bottom 50 were human-grade spiritual weapons. Ji Xingzhu's three spirit tools on the list occupied the 49th, 51st, and 53rd positions respectively.
At first glance, it didn't seem like much. But if one thought about it carefully, it was an invincible human-grade spiritual weapon. Moreover, it was already heading towards the earth-grade.
The Earth Carnage Rankings only recorded the top 50 earth-grade and human-grade spiritual weapons. Even if one could forge earth-grade spiritual weapons, it was useless if they couldn't make it onto the rankings. Actually, the Earth Carnage Rankings could also be split into two. Using the 50th position as the dividing line, Ji Xingzhu was the only Spirit Severing Realm weaponsmith to enter the top 50.
During these years, Chen Haoran also deeply felt a sense of crisis. Even the disciples he nurtured weren't a match for the weaponsmiths of the Lifire Palace. Even his own status was in danger. The reason was very simple. His best weapon, the 'Black Tortoise Ring', was ranked 43rd. As long as Ji Xingzhu's skills broke through, he would be trampled under his feet.
This time around, the Union of Artificers held a grand ceremony here because they wanted to use this opportunity to find good seedlings to nurture. Also, the General Administration of the Union also sent a message to suppress Ji Xingzhu at all costs. They definitely couldn't allow him to continue being so arrogant.
The weaponsmiths of the Lifire Palace had already occupied the peak of the heaven-grade and earth-grade for thousands of years. Now that there was another rising star, how were the others going to survive? To be honest, the Union of Artificers was established to fight against the Lifire Palace.
On that day, Chen Haoran was sitting cross-legged in his cave abode to rest. Suddenly, a disciple knocked on the door and called out anxiously, "Master, quickly go to the main hall to take a look. The Earth Emanations Roll has been updated."
"What's there to be flustered about? It's normal for the rankings to change. Don't make a fuss about it." Chen Haoran's expression was unkind, and his tone also became disdainful.
However, the disciple outside the door didn't seem to care about disturbing Chen Haoran's rest at all. He only urged him to go to the Alliance Hall to take a look and even shouted, "A new spirit weapon has appeared and is suppressing the Star Brilliance Sword."
Even so, Chen Haoran frowned in shock. This was an extraordinary matter. It had been a long time since someone was able to suppress Ji Xingzhu. Even the cultivators of their generation had exhausted their potential. It was already not easy for them to maintain their original ranking.
Fifteen minutes later, when he rushed to the main hall, he saw a large group of people gathered in front of the Magic Energy Monument. Everyone seemed to be discussing something.
Chen Haoran scanned with his divine sense. Many of the weapon refiners present revealed astonished expressions, but there were even more who were gloating over his misfortune.
He raised his head and glanced at the Earth Emanations Roll. There didn't seem to be any changes to the top 50, but when he looked at the 49th place, he saw an unfamiliar name. This new spirit weapon was called 'Purple Lightning Sword'. It replaced the position that originally belonged to Ji Xingzhu. However, there was no indication of the name of the weapon refiner, only the origin. This was a little thought-provoking.
Chen Haoran's gaze scanned to the end, and his eyes suddenly narrowed. This spirit weapon actually came from Sunset City. He was shocked. Could it be that a high-level weapon refiner had come to visit under his nose and he didn't know about it? Either that, or this person had intentionally avoided the Union of Artificers. In any case, these weapon refiners were all eccentric people.
But even so, his heart was filled with excitement. No matter how strong this person was, it was fine as long as he could suppress the Lifire Palace. Also, the grand ceremony of the Union of Artificers was currently being prepared. This grandmaster was most likely here to participate in it.
As long as he came, the Union of Artificers would have a chance to recruit him. If he could suppress Ji Xingzhu, everything else wouldn't be important.
Turning his head back to look at the 50th place, the 'Star Brilliance Sword'. Everyone knew that this was the strongest work of Ji Xingzhu from the Lifire Palace in recent years. This sword naturally landed in Chi Wuji's hands and was refined into his lifebound treasure.
It was a pity that it was now ranked at the bottom. Although it was still on the Earth Emanations Roll, the Lifire Palace should have already received the news. Ji Xingzhu would most likely send people to Sunset City to investigate. Meanwhile, the various factions were secretly moving about. Right now, they would probably cast their sights on the grand ceremony of the Union of Artificers.
Thinking up to here, a smile appeared on Chen Haoran's face. After which, he coughed softly and said to everyone in the hall, "Everyone, please disperse first. The change of the Earth Carnage Proclamation is not a big deal. Everyone should quickly go and complete the matters on hand. Don't have any unrealistic thoughts about this."
Although he said that, the cultivators present weren't fools. A spirit weapon that could suppress the Star Brilliance Sword was very worthy of appreciation. Moreover, the origin of this spirit weapon was clearly from Sunset City. In this case, this weapon refiner might exist in the branch of the Union of Artificers.
Or maybe, those foreign grandmasters didn't report here and took out the spirit weapon in their hands to sell.
Some quick-witted cultivators didn't say anything when they saw this scene. They directly turned and walked out of the hall. Needless to say, they were going to contact their fellow cultivators to ask what this spirit weapon called 'Purple Lightning Sword' looked like.
There were even some people who asked in private on the spot, wanting to know where this spirit weapon came from. At this time, as the backbone of the Union of Artificers branch, Chen Haoran also had an unpleasant expression. However, he couldn't reprimand these people in the hall.
He turned his head and privately transmitted a message to his two trusted disciples behind him, "Quickly call all the deacons in the branch to put down the work on hand and come to the conference hall. I want to hold an impromptu internal meeting within an hour. If anyone dares to find an excuse to be dispirited, then don't blame me for using the authority of the branch director. "
This was the first time Chen Haoran mentioned the authority of the branch director. Hearing this, the two disciples also revealed a strange shock in their eyes. It seemed that this grand ceremony of the Union of Artificers was destined to not be peaceful. Wasn't there still the preparation period and there was already such explosive news? They really didn't know what would happen if the grandmaster who refined the Purple Lightning was recruited into the union.
At the same time, the Lifire Palace, Feiyu Kenshū Sect, and Taiqing Pavilion all received the new information on the Earth Fiend Ranking. However, the reactions of each party were very different. Ji Xingzhu in the Lifire Palace only glanced at the ranking before putting it aside. To him, these titles were insignificant. He only paid attention to Chi Wuji in front of him.
