Chapter 1154: Chapter 1132: The Vision of a King - The Birth of a Child!

Lord Qingjiao and Chun Mu Venerable have received their orders. It was necessary for Chunmu Old Ancestor to leave the tribe. Currently, the Gu Yuan Tribe has but a few strong ones who can stand tall and make a difference.

The surrounding domains near the Border Wasteland have no Legendary Marquis Department in command, but in the distant north, across dozens of human territories, such departments are not few. To preside over a region, one needs at least to be at the Half-King Realm.

As for the older generation of strong ones previously summoned by Chunmu Old Ancestor, Xiao Chen did not impose his strength to oppress them into joining the Gu Yuan Tribe. The levels of martial arts within a territory cannot be sustained solely by the support of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

A true stronghold requires the flourishing of various forces. Hence, the Gu Yuan Tribe does not restrict these older generation strong ones. Regardless of where they go, their identity as part of the Border Wasteland remains unchanged.

"Patriarch, your subordinate requests orders."

Once everyone was seated, Shi Ya stood up and requested orders from Xiao Chen.

"Patriarch, for nearly two years now, our Border Wasteland Region has been in a state of cultivation frenzy. The original four-way war camps were disbanded back to their respective tribes due to the absence of warfare. My comrades and I have had nothing to do, so we request permission to conquer other domains for our tribe."

At this moment, Huang Liang, Tie Wen, Xue Sha, and others also voiced their approval in unison.

Xiao Chen signaled slightly and restated his disciple’s words, "The surrounding domains are already meat at the lips of our Gu Yuan Tribe, ready to be devoured at any time."

After ascending to a king, Xiao Chen’s perspective on matters had changed. He had originally planned to unite nine domains to ascend to a king-level tribe. However, from his current viewpoint, that no longer seemed significant.

It’s like a giant dragon and an ant looking at the same ancient mountain—the ant sees it as a towering giant, while to the dragon, it’s merely a stubborn stone.

Different strengths, different realms, tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers—to him, none of that was necessary. To overturn the heavens and earth was but a trivial effort.

This is the authority of a king!

"The most important thing for our Gu Yuan Tribe now is to accumulate clan members and strengthen tribal power. When the time comes, you will naturally preside over various domains."

A domineering aura suddenly surged. This was the supreme momentum of controlling the rise and fall of all beings, with tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers at hand.

"Very well, the coming time is for our Gu Yuan Tribe to nurture its foundation. I have ascended to the Supreme King Realm, more than enough to protect the development of the tribe. The unification of domains to ascend to a king-level tribe cannot be rushed!"

"Yes."

In the end, Shi Ya and others retreated to their stone chairs. Seeing their perplexed expressions, Xiao Chen said nothing. It was an elevation of status, a king towering above all beings with hundreds of millions of clan members worshipping. Such a realm cannot be comprehended without entering the King Realm.

"Right now, the most important thing is for our Gu Yuan Tribe to cultivate its foundation. First, the number of tribal clan members, which I leave to the War Master Hall and the two venerables to implement. The second matter is cultivation. A king-level tribe is not made up solely of kings, but also warriors of various levels."

After a pause, Xiao Chen continued, "Whether it’s the most common War Soldier or a Zhong Lou Realm elder leader, even a warrior above the Stage Eight Realm, these are all indispensable layers that make up a tribe."

"Especially those legendary warriors in the Half-King Realm—they are the mainstay of a king-level tribe. Kings suppress mountains and rivers, legends traverse the West, and Half-Kings preside over regions. Currently, how many Half-Kings, legends, and Stage Eight Supreme ones do we have in our Gu Yuan Tribe? These strong ones need time to nurture."

"Understood!"

Immediately, the Great Hall was filled with a chorus of loud shouts, resounding like thunder.

These strong ones needed time to be cultivated. For a tribe like Gu Yuan that has climbed from the bottom, so much was lacking.

To ascend to corresponding realms, apart from time and ample resources, talent is also needed. The innate foundation of a martial artist’s cultivation is already revealing their potential; this is the difficulty that belongs to martial arts.

Even with aspirations high as the heavens, once the foundation is set, what can one do?

The cruelty of martial arts starkly reveals to the warrior the path that lies ahead.

Currently, the Gu Yuan Tribe does not lack for genius; each of his nine disciples has exceptional talent. Now, what is needed are those with not only decent talent but also a steadfast and steady mind, to fill the middle and upper echelons of the entire tribe.

For a tribe, it gathers in one generation, reproduces in two, and their hearts unite in three, then passing on from generation to generation.

"Furthermore," Xiao Chen’s voice rose again as he continued, "The seal of the Royal Beast Race and the Void Passage connected to the Beast Underworld that our Gu Yuan Tribe possess, despite the destruction last time, have not yet fully recovered. But the blood supply for the tribe cannot cease, so our Gu Yuan Tribe prepares to venture into the Luo Long Mountain Range."

As Xiao Chen spoke, the numerous elders did not interrupt but waited for him to finish.

"The Luo Long Mountain Range spans across the vast Wilderness land, cutting off the Eastern Wasteland from the Southern Border. It can be described as a vast treasure trove. Even after such long ages, this treasure trove has not been fully explored. In the past, our Gu Yuan Tribe didn’t have the strength, but now we are well equipped to delve deep and uncover the treasures within."

Exactly how many rare mineral deposits, spirit crystals, divine metals, spiritual wood, and spirit medicines were hidden within the Dragon Fall Mountain Range was unclear to anyone, but no one doubted the abundance of its produce, provided one had the strength to excavate these treasures.

According to legend, the entire Dragon Fall Mountain Range stretched across the Desolate Wilds, severing the connection between the Eastern Wasteland and the Southern Border. The mountain range originated from the Central Earth, spanning from the northwest to the southwest, covering billions of square miles—endlessly vast and a paradise for fierce beasts.

The Gu Yuan Tribe naturally coveted this vast mountain range, and now, at last, had the chance to explore it.

"Subordinate agrees, moving the tribe to the Dragon Fall Mountain Range, where the entire Border Wasteland has long been connected. Our Gu Yuan Tribe, as long as we are on this land, all other tribes will submit to us. Currently, the Gu Yuan Tribe is next to Border Wasteland City, with scarce resources around us. Even though the tribe has plentiful resources, we cannot exhaust them and sit by idly."

The Grand Elder stood up and echoed the sentiment, for the Gu Yuan Tribe, as the Bronze Ancient City, did not need to relocate its people, it could simply move in its entirety without any trouble.

Countless tribes thrived on this mountain range, including some well-known large tribes from the Eastern Wasteland.

The sovereign tribe of the Eastern Wasteland’s Eastern Region, which developed by relying on the Dragon Fall Mountain Range, had prospered for several generations without decline. Rumor had it that the tribe was guarded by a royal beast from the depths of the Dragon Fall Mountain Range.

All the elders nodded in agreement. The principle of relying on the mountain was something they naturally understood. With a treasure mountain by their side, how could they remain indifferent?

...

Time quietly slipped by, and before they knew it, a year had passed.

The Gu Yuan Tribe’s Bronze Ancient City had been relocated to the depths of the Dragon Fall Mountain Range. Besides cultivating, the tribespeople used the Dragon Fall Mountain Range as a training ground, constantly venturing deep into the mountain range to hunt fierce beasts and temper their martial arts.

Of course, as the Gu Yuan Tribe massively infiltrated the deeper parts of the mountain range, the death toll within the tribe began to rise. In just one year, the tribe had suffered the loss of several thousand members.

Xiao Chen showed no particular reaction to this. It seemed there were casualties amidst the slaughter, but some warriors also made breakthroughs in moments of crisis.

Some of the tribe’s strong ones, including several of his disciples and the disciples of War God Temple, ventured even deeper into the mountain range. They were not only hunting fierce beasts but also tasked with scouting the terrain for mine veins.

Xiao Chen issued a decree, stating that warriors who discovered Yuan stone veins, spirit crystals, casting materials, or divine metal mine veins would receive rewards according to the rank of their findings upon returning to the tribe.

Meanwhile, the War Master Hall had already found a route to the Wind Fire Area, opening a safe passage directly from the Ten Thousand Spirits Domain into the Wind Fire Area. Not only warriors from the War Master Hall but also many Towering Realm martial artists from the tribe left for the distant Ten Thousand Spirits Domain.

As for the tribes of the Ten Thousand Spirits Domain along the way, naturally, there was no resistance. This time the Gu Yuan Tribe aimed to gather a significant number of women and children, who were considerably weaker compared to the robust martial warriors.

The journey of migration was convoluted and challenging; it wasn’t easy for them. For this reason, the Gu Yuan Tribe subdued several Ten Thousand Spirits Domain tribes along the way, using them as stopovers so that the women and children could rest adequately.

Such a large-scale migration couldn’t be completed in a short time, and Xiao Chen could only ensure to the best of his ability that the vast majority of women and children were safely integrated into the Gu Yuan Tribe.

For this purpose, along the route spanning millions of miles north to south across the Ten Thousand Spirits Domain, five hundred thousand elite war soldiers were assembled, nearly a thousand Massive Tower Realm Wu Experts, along with two Half-Kings, all to ensure the safety of this overall migration.

Blue Stone Garden.

That day, Xiao Chen seemed to put aside all matters and stood somewhat at a loss in the garden, occasionally glancing toward the house inside.

Even now, ranked among kings, his tense expression was something he had never displayed, not even during his great battles with foreign kings.

It wasn’t just Xiao Chen who was by the side; Lin Cai’er, whom they hadn’t seen for a long time, his disciples, and several elders outside were all waiting for something.

Mu Qing and Nianhua, who had been pregnant for several years, finally showed signs of going into labor.

This was an event the whole Gu Yuan Tribe had been eagerly anticipating, and even the noise within the tribe was deliberately subdued these past few days.

Xiao Chen stood outside the door, not knowing what to do. He didn’t understand why his wives, who had shown signs of labor early on, had delayed for another year before the unborn life inside showed a real intention to be born.

In his view, the fetuses had already fully developed, but according to his wives, something unusual happened when he ascended to God King; two threads of purple-gold energy had entered their wombs. What exactly this entailed caused him some anxiety.

His wives had conceived before he ascended to king, so the fetuses could not inherit his king’s bloodline. However, Xiao Chen did not mind. Even those born with Empyrean Blood might not ascend to king.

One’s innate bloodline is a talent as well as a shackle.

The only thing he now cared about was the purple-gold aura enveloping the fetuses and the changes it had caused in the unborn lives.
