Chapter 242: Small Mountain Village, Five Genius Sanctuaries
The border of the Territory of Chaos is surrounded by mountains. In the valley of one of the mountains, there is a peaceful little mountain village.

This small mountain village has quite a large population, at least a few thousand people. There is even an open-air tavern in the village, but of course it is just a simple shed.

“Finally found it.”

A figure climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down.

This is a young man with short brown hair, wearing a white knight’s suit and a blue cloak.

He is Yun Ting’s Purple Flame Warrior clone, named “Suzaku” by Yun Ting.

“Brother, how did you find us here?”

As Zhuque entered the village, a burly man came over with a bottle of wine and two bowls. He looked at Zhuque and handed him a bowl of wine: “Come, have a drink?”

Zhuque smiled and said, “I came from the Luoao Empire. I wanted to venture into the Territory of Chaos. I didn’t take the main road or enter the city. I crossed the mountains and rivers and happened to come here.”

“So that’s it.”

The man nodded and smiled: “I thought so. Our place is very remote. Normally, we don’t see a single outsider for eight or ten years.”

Zhuque looked calm, but he still asked, “Where is this? I see you two are not ordinary people, how come you live in this small mountain village?”

“Haha, that’s a good question, but it’s not my turn to answer you. When you came in just now, those adults must have known about it, and they should come to see you later.”

The burly man said, and then invited Zhuque to drink.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with short silver hair appeared here. He had a simple face and a low aura, but he had a terrifying sense of oppression.

Sanctuary!

There is no doubt that this is a strong man at the Sanctuary level.

“Little brother, my name is Miller. My family asked me to pick you up. Please follow me.” Miller’s expression was calm and his attitude was quite polite. After all, although Suzaku had not yet entered the holy realm, he was still a peak ninth-level warrior.

“Okay, Mr. Miller, please lead the way.”

Suzaku nodded, then stood up and followed Miller into the depths of the village.

Soon, they came to a very ordinary house with a small courtyard in front of it.

In the yard, a handsome and elegant middle-aged man with long black hair was sitting on a stone bench, drinking wine leisurely.

“Sir, people have brought it.”

Miller was respectful in front of this man.

“Suzaku, hello, senior.”

Zhuque smiled faintly and asked for greetings. He could probably guess the identity of the person in front of him.

Desili!
Today, there are six powerful men at the limit of the holy realm on the Magnolia Continent, and they are all only one step away from becoming gods.

For example, the assassin king Xise, Fan of the Martial God Sect, etc., are all powerful people standing in this field, and the Desli in front of him is one of them.

The limit of the sanctuary is vastly different from the ordinary sanctuary, and the strength is completely on a different level.

“Haha, you’re welcome, little brother.”

Desley laughed.

He had never heard of the name of this young man before, but he was able to reach the level of a ninth-level peak warrior, which meant he was definitely not an ordinary person.

“My name is Desili, and I’m temporarily in charge of the affairs of this village.” Desili said, “Little brother, are you planning to venture into the Territory of Chaos?”

“That was the original plan.”

Zhuque nodded, then smiled and said, “But after seeing you seniors, I want to know if I can stay in this village?”

“Hahaha! You are really honest, little brother.”

Desley laughed. The purpose of going out to explore the world was to improve his strength. The most effective way was naturally to compete with those masters, and there was no shortage of masters in this village.

“If you want to stay, of course you can.” Desley smiled faintly, “We welcome strong people like you to join us.”

“However, I want to know something about you, little brother. If possible, please tell me the truth.”

“Okay.” Suzaku nodded.

Immediately, Desley asked, “Well, little brother, can you introduce yourself in as much detail as possible?”

“Okay.” Zhuque nodded: “My name is Zhuque, I’m twenty-two years old…”

“Wait, little brother, you’re only twenty-two?!”

Desley and Miller were shocked.

A twenty-two-year-old peak level nine warrior?
Even if he has been practicing since birth, it has only been twenty-two years. With this aptitude, doesn’t it mean that there is a high possibility that Suzaku can become a Saint Realm warrior before the age of thirty?

“Yes.”

Zhuque nodded. According to the time of his birth, he was only about ten years old, but his physical age was indeed twenty-two years old.

Desley and Miller exclaimed, this is a genius!
The training of a warrior is indeed simpler than that of a magician, but anyone who can become a ninth-level warrior before the age of thirty is considered a top talent.

Zhuque reached the peak of level nine at the age of twenty-something. His talent was indeed very high and rare in the world.

“For a genius like you, it should be easy to train you… Are you from the O’Brien Empire?” Desley frowned.

In his impression, only the Martial God of the O’Brien Empire could train such a genius.

Just like the eldest disciple under the seat of the God of War, he is an ultimate strong man in the Holy Domain who is not weaker than him.

However, Zhuque just shook his head and continued, “I am from the Luoao Empire, and I also studied at the Royal Warrior Academy of the Luoao Empire.”

“This is really strange. A genius like you hasn’t leaked any news, and the Luoao Empire is willing to let you go.” Miller said, this is not normal.

Zhuque scratched his head: “In fact, I have been hiding my strength in the academy. Personally, I don’t want to be in the limelight. This time I am leaving temporarily under the pretext of going out for training.”

Desley and Miller smiled at each other, as if they understood Suzaku. Miller then said, “If that’s the case, then it’s not surprising.”

“Well, then, let me continue…”

Zhuque went on to talk about his own situation. In order to match his identity, he did stay in the Luoao Empire for ten years after his birth, and only left after his warrior realm reached the peak of level nine.

Therefore, his origins were not a lie, and one could not find any faults even if one wanted to.

In the end, Desley had a certain understanding of Suzaku, so he said: “Suzaku, since you are willing to stay, I also welcome you to join on behalf of the village.”

“Our village is isolated from the rest of the world, and there are certain rules if you want to leave. Of course, if you become a sanctuary, you can come and go freely.”

“Okay.” Suzaku nodded.

In this way, his goal was achieved.

At present, Yun Ting’s four clones have all been successfully cultivated. Because these clones are essentially human and their strength realms are very weak, they can be cultivated very quickly. The dragon blood warrior clone, that is, Reinhardt, is now expanding the territory in the Chaos Territory. The Chaos Territory is also the area that Yun Ting is preparing to take for himself.

As for Suzaku, he was secretly assisting Reinhardt.

Although there are many powerful people hiding in the Territory of Chaos, the forces that really make people fear are Desley, the Church of Light, and the Church of Darkness.

Among them, Desli is the strongest. Suzaku’s goal is to prevent the people in the village from becoming obstacles. Of course, this is only temporary. Yun Ting also wants to recruit Desli and others under his command, but there is definitely no way at the moment.

As for the Undead Warrior clone, he went to the Magnolia Empire, while the Tiger Warrior clone went to the Far East Prairie.

Yun Ting himself has already left Ernst College and returned to the O’Brien Empire.

Each clone is practicing and growing on its own.

There is still a long time before Linley is born. By that time, with his talent, he will probably have reached a height that many gods cannot reach.

……

The Magnolia Calendar is 9997 years old.

At the beginning of this year, one of the two greatest geniuses of the contemporary Ernst Academy, Linley Baruch, officially became a fifth-level magician and a fifth-year student at the academy.

Wearing a sky blue robe, Lin Lei was rushing to the lecture hall. Today was a little unusual.

Although he was only fifteen years old, he had already become a fifth-level magician, but he knew that it was not because of his talent, but because there was a Sanctuary magician who spared no effort to teach him.

So he has been practicing very hard and never dared to slack off.

But today is different.

Today, the legendary alumnus of Ernst College, Lord Ting Jax Claude, the Holy Domain Mage of the O’Brien Empire, who has become a dual-system Holy Mage at the age of only 100, visited Ernst College and was willing to give lectures and answer questions for the students of the college!

This legendary holy mage was proficient in both water and wind, while Linley was proficient in both earth and wind. His grandfather Delin had taught him how to cultivate the earth element over the years, but he was having trouble keeping up with the wind element.

And now it just so happened that a Holy Mage who practiced the Wind Element was giving a lecture and answering questions, so how could he not come?

Of course, even if one is not good at water or wind, one will definitely come here. After all, this is an opportunity to meet the Holy Mage, which is very attractive to all students.

“Third brother, you are finally here!”

As he approached the lecture hall, Linley saw three familiar faces.

They were his three roommates, and they had a very good relationship with each other.

“Well, let’s go in.”

Lin Lei said, the lecture hall is very spacious. It used to be very empty, but now it is packed with people. Many people can only stand.

“See? This is the appeal of the Holy Mage! Just one speech can attract countless people.” In Linley’s mind, Doehring Cowart said proudly.

“Well, it’s really exciting!”

Linley answered in his heart, “Grandpa Delin, can I become such a strong man in the future?”

“That depends on how hard you work.” Doehring Cowart snorted. “With me here, I guarantee that you can become a ninth-level great mage, but whether you can enter the Holy Land depends on yourself. There are many people in the world who will be stuck at the ninth level for their entire lives.”

“Is that so… I’ll try my best!”

Linley said firmly.

“Old Four, you are from the O’Brien Empire. Do you know this Lord Claude?”

Just as Linley and Delin were talking in their consciousness, the dormitory leader Yale also smiled and looked at their fourth child, Renault.

Renault comes from the O’Brien Empire and is of noble birth. He was able to enter the Ernst Academy, so his talent is naturally not bad. It’s just that he has learned bad things in recent years and has slacked off in his cultivation.

“Of course!”

Renault said excitedly: “I came all the way to Ernst College to study magic, firstly because Ernst College is known as the best magic school, and secondly, because I read the biography of Lord Claude!”

“Lord Claude is a legendary figure even in the O’Brien Empire. As you know, there are very few Holy Mages in our O’Brien Empire, not to mention that Lord Claude has become a dual-element Holy Magus before he is even a hundred years old!”

“Moreover, it is said that Lord Claude is also a Saint Realm warrior with extraordinary talent. Even Lord God of War has praised Lord Claude more than once!”

“In the O’Brien Empire, Lord Claude is worshipped by almost all magicians below the Sanctuary level!”

Renault seemed a little fanatical. In fact, Lin Lei and the others had often heard this name from Renault over the years. Yale wanted to tease Renault just now, but he didn’t expect the latter to notice it at all. Instead, he showed such admiration and worship.

“I can understand this kind of worship.” The second oldest, George, smiled and said, “Just like me, I also admire Lord Jurarekis of our Yulan Empire. He is also a powerful being who became both a Saint Warrior and a Saint Mage within a hundred years.”

“Come to think of it, I also admire Lord Reinhardt of the Chaos Territory. He is known as a super existence who is a perfect swordsman. He also single-handedly opened up a pure land in a place like the Chaos Territory. My family’s business can be carried out smoothly in the Chaos Territory, all thanks to Lord Reinhardt!” Yale also said.

“Aren’t you talking about the five great genius sanctuaries?”

lei laughed.

Today, there are five Saint Domain strongmen who are known as geniuses on the Magnolia Continent. These five legendary figures come from different forces or countries, but each of them is extremely talented.

O’Brien Empire——Thunderjax Claude, the holy mage of both water and wind.

The Territory of Chaos——The Perfect Swordsman Reinhardt.

Magnolia Empire——Earth-type Holy Warrior, Holy Mage Juralikis.

The Far East Prairie – Saint Yuno of the Extreme Wind.

And the Luoao Empire – Suzaku, the Thunder and Fire Sword Saint.

These five were all powerful ones who had become Saints in recent decades, and without exception, when they became Saints, they were only about a hundred years old. It was for this reason that some gossipers referred to these five as the “Five Great Genius Saints.”

It is said that even the Martial God of the O’Brien Empire and the mysterious High Priest of the Magnolia Empire approve of it.

As for ordinary warriors and magicians, they admire these people very much.

It is worth mentioning that when Lin Lei was a child, he also read the biographies of the five genius saints, and he was quite familiar with the life stories of each of them. After all, they could be said to be idols of recent generations.

“Hahaha, it’s true. These five adults are always inevitably mentioned at the same time.”

Yale laughed, and a few students beside them heard their topic and joined in.

“quiet!”

Soon, a serious voice sounded in the hall.

The entire lecture hall quickly became quiet. Everyone looked over and saw several figures walking up to the podium, and their eyes all turned to one of them.

It was a very young face, seemingly in his twenties, with handsome features and a smile that had a wonderful appeal like warm sunshine.

There is no doubt that this person is the protagonist of the lecture hall today, the legendary genius Sanctuary Mage.
