On the other side, the Cultivators observing the battle below were stunned by this scene!

This was Master Xingyue, an existence at the Peak Core Formation!

In the entire Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, he was among the top few, with comprehensive strength definitely ranking in the top six,

yet now, he was defeated by Master Wangchuan, a newly advanced Core Formation Cultivator,

who was only at the Early-Stage Core Formation!

An Early-Stage Core Formation reversing the peak, perhaps only those mighty cultivators documented in scriptures could achieve this.

Could it be that this Master Wangchuan is indeed an existence like the Ancient Great Powers!

At this moment, Master Taifeng was full of shock, glancing at Master Feng Ji and Master Qianye beside him, and saw the shock in their eyes.

His mouth opened, but he said nothing,

but they knew that from this moment on, Zhou Xun’s appointment as the Grand Elder of Tianhan City would encounter no more obstacles, and their Eastern Wilderness would soon usher in the era of Zhou Xun!

Xing Huai’an saw this scene and couldn’t help but open his mouth wide, eyes full of shock, as if seeing Zhou Xun for the first time,

"Is this still my Junior Brother Zhou?"

He knew Zhou Xun was formidable and had thought of the day Zhou Xun would dominate the Eastern Wilderness, but he didn’t expect this day to come so soon!

He had imagined Zhou Xun would take a hundred or two hundred years to reach the Late-Stage Core Formation to reach the peak of the Eastern Wilderness.

Now it seems he had underestimated him!

"Could it be that the curse of six thousand years without a Nascent Soul in the Eastern Wilderness will be broken by you!"

As for Zhou Jingsong, he wasn’t surprised at all; he had long anticipated this scene the moment Zhou Xun took the stage!

He continued drinking, in stark contrast to the rest in the field,

"I wonder how to address you, Daoist friend, facing such a scene, you remain so calm and composed, such a demeanor is truly admirable!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man beside Zhou Jingsong cupped his hands, showing admiration on his face.

"Ah... Daoist friend flatters me!"

"My master Zhou Xun is comparable to the Ancient Great Powers, while Elder Xingyue is formidable, it’s unfortunate he met my master, and such a defeat was inevitable!"

Zhou Jingsong said matter-of-factly.

"Oh... you’re the esteemed disciple of Master Wangchuan, my respects, I am Zhao Yousheng of the Infinite Sect, pleased to meet you!"

The middle-aged man’s face instantly became more enthusiastic upon hearing this.

The other Cultivators nearby also gathered around, warmly greeting Zhou Jingsong, including some Core Formation Cultivators,

all addressing Zhou Jingsong as an equal.

In response, Zhou Jingsong handled himself well; back at Wangchuan Lake, many Core Formation Cultivators from Fengg Country already treated him with respect.

...

"You’re too kind!"

Zhou Xun smiled faintly, waved his sleeve, and all the Vine Whips, Puppets, and Spirit Wood within three thousand zhang disappeared as if they never appeared, leaving only Master Xingyue’s Profound Ice Staff in the air.

Then, with one hand behind him, he gracefully landed in front of Master Tianci, cupped his hands slightly, and said:

"Zhou Xun did not disgrace the mission!"

The field fell into silence, everyone’s eyes were on Zhou Xun.

"Hahaha!"

"Well done, Brother Zhou!"

At this time, Master Tianci’s hearty laughter echoed, patting Zhou Xun’s shoulder, then his gaze slowly swept across everyone present, finally landing on Master Qianchuan,

"Now, do any of you still have objections to Master Wangchuan succeeding Ji Mou?"

Master Qianchuan’s face turned pale at this moment, his body trembling slightly, not daring to meet Master Tianci’s gaze.

When Zhou Xun defeated Master Xingyue, he realized how laughable his actions were, like a child’s antics.

His previous actions undoubtedly defied Master Tianci!

With Master Xingyue’s strength, he likely wouldn’t protect this traitor of Tianhan City, and he couldn’t protect him against Master Tianci’s knowledge,

he was certain there would be no good ending!

Seeing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Master Tianci’s eyes, and he no longer looked at him,

and the crowd snapped back to their senses after hearing Master Tianci speak.

"Master Wangchuan’s strength is extraordinary, enough to rank in the top three of our Eastern Wilderness, with him guarding Tianhan City, it will naturally be impregnable!"

Grand Elder Master Yuyuan of Jade Spring Valley cupped his hands and smiled.

Originally, having been defeated by Zhou Xun, he felt some indignation in his heart, but now with Master Xingyue as a comparison, he felt a sense of honor instead.

Being able to spar with such a future formidable cultivator, perhaps he could even have his name recorded in the scriptures!

"Indeed, Master Wangchuan’s talent and brilliance are both rare in the world, Daoist Brother Tianci’s discerning eye for talent is truly an amazing tale of our Eastern Wilderness!"

Another observing Cultivator spoke with a smile.

The people of Tianhan City were full of admiration, with such a person leading them, their city’s prestige would not fade,

perhaps even surpassing the past,

after all, this Master Wangchuan is currently only at the Early-Stage Core Formation; once he advances to the Middle-Stage or Late-Stage, what a scene that will be!

Seeing this, Master Tianci nodded in satisfaction and declared loudly:

"Since that’s the case, from today onward, the position of Grand Elder of Tianhan City will be assumed by Master Wangchuan, Zhou Xun!"

With that, he patted his Storage Bag and took out a Token,

"This is the Grand Elder Order, handed over to you today!"

With that, he placed it on his hand, presenting it to Zhou Xun with both hands,

The real token had long been handed to Zhou Xun; this one was merely a prop.

Zhou Xun’s face was solemn, he stepped forward, extended his hands, and received the token from Master Tianci’s hand,

then turned to the people of Tianhan City, raising it high as a signal!

The leaders big and small of Tianhan City, led by Master Huang An, all bowed and saluted, in unison saying:

"Greetings to Master Wangchuan, greetings to the Grand Elder!"

Thus, Zhou Xun formally took over the position of Grand Elder from Master Tianci.

Tianhan City officially stepped into the era of Zhou Xun!

...

Soon, the grand ceremony concluded,

at this time, Master Tianci slowly approached Master Qianchuan, his face full of disappointment:

"Ji Wujiu, do you have anything to say?"

Master Qianchuan’s knees instinctively fell, kowtowing at Master Tianci’s feet, constantly begging for mercy, tears streaming:

"Master.... disciple was wrong, Master spare me... disciple was bewitched..."

"Alas..."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Master Tianci’s eyes were full of disappointment,

"Since you were in swaddling clothes, I brought you back, took you as a Direct Disciple, gave you the surname Ji, and named you Wujiu!"

"Did I ever wrong you,"

"Yet you dare to be so unfilial, colluding with outsiders against my Tianhan City, I will never tolerate this!"

"I’ll give you a choice, destroy your Dantian, and live the rest of your life!"

"Destroy my Dantian... hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Master Qianchuan’s face turned venomous,

"Master?"

"If you truly regarded me as a Direct Disciple, why pass the position of Grand Elder to another?"

"That was my position!"

"My surname is Ji, I am the rightful successor of Tianhan City!"

"I refuse!"

Master Qianchuan’s voice was hysterical!

Finally, he looked viciously at Zhou Xun, then at Master Tianci, mana suddenly turning in his hand,

next, a black light shot from his hand, aiming at Master Tianci in front of him!
