Chapter 1158: Chapter 1136: Entering King Wen’s Palace - The Migration of the Clan’s People!

After ascending to the level of a king, Xiao Chen increasingly felt that the five directions of the Human Realm were unfathomable, and this feeling deepened as his strength improved.

The glorious Human Race had proliferated for eons, harboring too many secrets that needed to be explored. The words of Tiantai Xuan, like a cold current poured over his increasingly volatile thoughts of recent days, suddenly quenched the pride he had nurtured since his ascension to kingship.

Long ago, it had been predicted that the Border Wasteland Region would undergo a transformation, although it had not specifically identified him. However, the unpredictable means of such ghostly and divine methods were truly alarming.

He understood Tiantai Xuan’s words. Before her reincarnation, even she was unaware of the exact nature of the changes in the Border Wasteland Region.

What Xiao Chen admired was such foresight—the inheritance of the Wen Wang Palace was indeed terrifying, capable of predicting the future, truly worthy of a Dao heritage that could scheme against the imperial rulers of All Heavens.

"Apart from the East Wasteland Border Domain, there is also the Lihuo Domain in the Southern Border, the ancient lands of Loulan in the Western Region, and the seas near the Canglang Isles of the North Sea. However, there is no special news from these places at the moment. Those who reincarnated along with Tiantai have probably not yet awakened or descended," The voice of Tiantai Xuan rose again.

"The Heavenly Maiden must have held no low position in the Wen Wang Palace even before reincarnation,"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen spoke out and asked.

Even if it was the reincarnation and rebirth of a kingly body, it was not a possession. What’s more, such an accurate reincarnation was in the Border Wasteland Region and not some other Human Race Territory, not to mention other Realms beyond the Human Realm. There must be great secrets within.

"In my previous life, I was a disciple of Wutian Great Emperor, the current master of the Wen Wang Palace. Later, in the Hundred Clans Battlefield, my physical body was destroyed by a demon emperor of the Monster Tribes, and even my Undying Martial Soul was severely damaged. Fortunately, I had entered a temple of a Desolate God in the wilderness earlier and obtained some fate. With the help of my master, I entered into reincarnation and was born into the Border Wasteland," she said without any concealments, speaking to Xiao Chen.

"Speaking of this reincarnation and rebirth, descending into the Border Wasteland was inevitable, involving the cycles of life. Even imperial rulers cannot peer into this taboo, not to mention retaining the memories of a previous life, which is against the rules that govern the operations of heaven and earth. I had originally hoped to establish merit for the Human Race amidst the transformations of the Border Wasteland and gain the favor of its destiny, to lessen the backlash of defying the natural order of heaven and earth."

With eyes brimming, Tiantai Xuan stared at Xiao Chen, revealing an indescribable divine radiance.

"But I never expected that the transformation of the Border Wasteland would result in the grand rise of my Human Race, and such thoughts must also be extinguished."

Xiao Chen was touched. Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Paths have their own laws, and to defy them requires a price, even imperial rulers must be punished.

"If the Undying Martial Soul exists, why not seize another body to be reborn?" Xiao Chen countered.

"It isn’t so easy to just seize a body and be reborn," Tiantai Xuan replied softly. "The further one goes in Martial Arts cultivation, the higher the life form one becomes. Even if only the Undying Martial Soul remains, finding a body suitable for possession is not easy. The life of a king transcends common spirits, like the soul of a giant dragon—could an ant bear it? Therefore, ordinary warriors are not suitable to become the possessed body for a king."

The Great Hall fell silent for a moment. The divinity on Tiantai Xuan’s body faded, her brilliance shone magnificently, and it was only then that Xiao Chen realized what she had said earlier—she too had entered a Divine Temple, clearly having acquired divine methods.

"The Heavenly Maiden’s visit isn’t just to tell Xiao Chen these things, is it?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen broke the silence and asked, momentarily distracted by Tiantai Xuan’s words and forgetting her intention for coming.

"Indeed," Tiantai Xuan nodded, then continued, "With the Xiao Clan Leader presiding over the Border Wasteland, foreign tribes naturally retreat. Hence, Tiantai’s mission in the Border Wasteland becomes superfluous, and I plan to return to the central lands of the Wen Wang Palace."

"This visit serves two purposes: one is to entrust the Tiantai Tribe to the Xiao Clan Leader’s care, and the other is to congratulate the Xiao Clan Leader on the joy of having a child," she explained.

As she spoke, Tiantai Xuan produced three jade stones in her hand that bore no carvings, looking as if they were directly mined from beneath the earth. Besides radiating a special energy, they also had a trace of divinity, clearly stemming from the same source as her own divine essence.

"These are Heartfelt Jade, a gift for the child of the Xiao Clan Leader," she said.

Xiao Chen didn’t stand on ceremony. The special energy carried an aura both profound and mysterious, very similar to the energy that Tiantai Xuan exuded when divining.

Taking the three jade stones, Xiao Chen then spoke in gratitude, "Xiao Mou thanks the Heavenly Maiden on behalf of his child."

"In fact, the most important matter for the Xiao Clan Leader’s visit this time concerns the destiny Wang Jing. Initially, Tiantai promised to exchange the destiny Wang Jing for something of equal value with the Xiao Clan Leader. Although the Gu Yuan Tribe has not yet forged a King-level Tribe, Tiantai wishes to speak presumptuously and wonders if the Xiao Clan Leader would be willing to listen?"

Her beautiful eyes shimmered, and within Tiantai Xuan’s gaze lingered an inscrutable meaning. However, her whole body was enveloped in divine brilliance, blocking Xiao Chen’s scrutiny.

"How does the Heavenly Maiden wish to proceed?" Xiao Chen was interested.

"The Xiao Clan Leader now has two daughters and one son. Although Tiantai does not possess the fame that thunders across All Heavens and Myriads of Realms as the Xiao Clan Leader does, I am confident in my own foundation and connections. I wish to take one of the Xiao Clan Leader’s daughters as a disciple and introduce her to the Wen Wang Palace in the central lands. Would that be suitable?"

In that moment, Tiantai Xuan’s divine radiance flared intensely, and her entire demeanor underwent a radical change. The previously delicate façade vanished in an instant.

In its place was a queen who lorded over all beings and commanded the winds and clouds—a presence that could only be cultivated from standing at the pinnacle and ruling the world, not something achieved in a short span of time. Clearly, she once stood as a ruler, beholding the ups and downs of the world from above.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, a flash of divine brilliance appeared and vanished in Xiao Chen’s eyes. Having one of his daughters become a disciple under Tiantai Xuan and thus entering the Central Plains’ Wen Wang Palace, this ancient and noble Imperial Dao Sect.

Tiantai Xuan offered the opportunity to enter Wen Wang Palace in exchange for the Qi Yun Wang Jing, and even offered to take her in as a personal disciple. Once in the palace, there would be no need to undergo the usual trials and dangers like an ordinary warrior but would directly become part of the core disciples.

Moreover, in her previous life, Tiantai Xuan was a disciple of the current Wen Wang Palace’s Palace Master. Returning in this reincarnation, she would naturally go back to her master’s tutelage. Being accepted as her disciple was tantamount to being accepted by the current Palace Master of the Wen Wang Palace, belonging to the core of the core.

"I wonder, Xiao Clan Leader, what are your thoughts?"

At their level, they were no longer bothered by external things and aimed straight for the essence of matters. Xiao Chen did not believe that this was Tiantai Xuan’s charity for the sake of Qi Yun Wang Jing; things in the world were inherently linked by causality.

Especially the Wen Wang Palace, which propagated the Dao of the I Ching, paid even more attention to the cycle of cause and effect.

Xiao Chen’s gaze met Tiantai Xuan’s directly, piercing through the divinity that enshrouded her body without any dodge, and in the instant their eyes met, they both saw that flash of enlightenment within each other’s hearts.

Tiantai Xuan, under Xiao Chen’s intense gaze, had her crystal-clear, white jade-like cheeks suddenly touched by a blush, spreading down to her neck and within the layers of her garment. Never had a man looked at her so directly, not in her past life nor this one. In an instant, the aura of being above all beings completely vanished.

"Good!"

At that answer, Tiantai Xuan subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, yet she looked at Xiao Chen somewhat annoyed – she had clearly seen a hint of doubt in Xiao Chen’s gaze.

"However, my daughter was only just born not long ago; Xiao Mou cannot bear to send her far away to the Central Plains!"

"Xiao Clan Leader, rest assured. Your tribe is currently accumulating the foundation to ascend to King-level Tribe, which should take a considerable amount of time. When your tribe ascends, Tiantai will personally come to congratulate, and at that time we will decide which daughter of Xiao Clan Leader to take as a disciple," said Tiantai Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. Since the birth of the three little lives, he had unconsciously gained three more ties binding his heart. For his daughters’ futures, he didn’t know when he started to become indecisive.

...

Atop an ancient peak in the Luo Long Mountain Range, Xiao Chen stood surveying the celestial maiden descending as if from the heavens, her being wrapped in a faint divinity.

"Xiao Clan Leader, this world is vast; we shall meet again somewhere under the heavens!"

Divinity still sprinkled across heaven and earth, but that ethereal figure was no longer there. Xiao Chen’s eyes held a hint of complexity—this woman was too mysterious.

...

After arranging everything, Xiao Chen entered closed-door cultivation.

And the entire Gu Yuan Tribe continued to operate according to the established plan.

Ten Thousand Spirits Domain.

Compared to the majestic mountains of the Border Wasteland Region and Ten Thousand Mountains Domain, the mountains of the Ten Thousand Spirits Domain appeared somewhat graceful; still, they were covered in vast ancient forests.

At the very northern edge of the Ten Thousand Spirits Domain, adjacent to the Wind Fire Area, a new city rose from the ground.

This city was the first stop for the relocation of the tribespeople of the Wind Fire Area. All the tribespeople of the Wind Fire Area would gather in this ancient city and then, escorted by Gu Yuan Tribe Soldiers, would traverse the Ten Thousand Spirits Domain to enter the Border Wasteland.

Against the setting sun, a group of about a thousand people approached the city. Above the group, a Qingyu hawk circled, with a robust warrior standing atop it.

"Mu Fu brother, is the population of the Wind Fire Area’s tribespeople really so sparse? The number of tribespeople gathering in the city has dwindled over the days. Today, including your group, there are barely three thousand people!"

Atop the city wall, a Heavy Tower Realm Martial called out to the warrior atop the Qingyu hawk.

Thousands of Heavy Tower Realm Martial from the Gu Yuan Tribe entered the Wind Fire Area to gather the tribespeople, while the War Master Hall’s soldiers were stationed at various points along the Ten Thousand Spirits Domain’s safe passages, maintaining the stability of those routes.

Moreover, each relocation timed the assembling of a sufficient number of tribespeople; this reduced the consumption of the War Masters and allowed the Gu Yuan Tribe to effectively manage and settle the incoming tribespeople.

However, the warrior on top of the city wall did not expect Mu Fu to continue without hesitation, steering the Qingyu hawk directly into the city, and at the same time a voice rang out: "Brother Shi, help me gather these tribespeople into the city, I have urgent business with the Hall Master!"

PS: Two Chapters today, no more updates for today.

Reason: After the storyline of Xiao Chen’s challenge to ascend to King, the writing has been a bit difficult these past few days. I need to reorganize the follow-up related to the ascension to King-level Tribe. I edited until dawn yesterday, and today it’s still not flowing well, feeling like something is missing. Let me think it over carefully!
