Chapter 1172: Chapter 1150: A Tale of Two Kings - Remaking the Ancient City!

The youth was clad in a golden robe, his eyes sharp as blades. The terrifying aura of a king surged out like an ocean, rippling towards the outer bounds of the Gu Yuan Tribe. At that moment, in the Luo Long Mountain Range, whether fish, insects, birds, or beasts, or even ancient trees and grass, all lay dormant.

It was a success!

Feeling the overwhelming aura of the king, the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe, despite being suppressed by the aura to the point of being unable to rise, had their eyes gleaming with intense fervor.

A king!

From this moment on, the Gu Yuan Tribe boasted another king!

A tribe with dual kings!

Such a tribe was rare across the vast Wilderness, and the Gu Yuan Tribe had not yet ascended to a true King-level Tribe, yet it already had two great kings stationed within.

The spirit of the Jian Mu had now transformed into a human form, appearing no differently than a typical sixteen or seventeen-year-old human boy, but the aura he exuded was as deep as the ocean.

Standing midair, the spirit of the Jian Mu looked deeply into the depths of the Luo Long Mountain Range, where at its farthest depths, a speck of golden brilliance vanished.

Just during the recent tribulation crossing, he had felt that figure’s aura and even sensed a hint of scrutiny from it. Yet for some reason, it had hesitated to act, ultimately retreating in the end.

"Gu Ling."

Suddenly, a voice sounded, causing the figure in the Void to tremble violently, then vanish from the Void altogether.

Seconds later, the spirit of Jian Mu appeared on a mountain peak thousands of miles away, exactly where that mysterious golden figure had been seen.

At that moment, there was a green silhouette standing on the mountain top, also gazing into the depths of the Luo Long Mountain Range.

It was Xiao Chen!

The tribulation crossing of Jian Mu was a significant event for the Gu Yuan Tribe, and Mu Qing naturally woke Xiao Chen, who was in retreat.

In fact, even if Mu Qing hadn’t woken Xiao Chen, Luli would have done the same.

The aura coming from the depths of the Luo Long Mountain Range, carrying a terrifying pressure, might go unnoticed by an ordinary warrior, but for Luli, he detected it the moment it released a hint of its aura.

The depths of the Luo Long Mountain Range was a place where humans could not interfere, a fact Xiao Chen only learned after he ascended to be a king; the matters within were too complex.

Although the Wilderness is now known as the Human Realm, it is not only inhabited by humans, but also by another race—the beast race, whose numbers are no less than those of the humans.

Not just in the Human Realm, but in every realm of the Hundred Clans of Heaven, the beast race exists, although their circumstances differ in each realm.

In the same All Heavens and Myriads of Realms, the beast tribe could also be viewed as a branch of the Wilderness’s beast race.

The vast Luo Long Mountain Range, stretching for billions of miles, has become a heaven for the beast race to flourish and reproduce, and it is one of the largest gathering spots for the beast race of the Wilderness.

Compared to humans, the beast race epitomizes the law of the jungle even more, where even members of the same tribe engage in bloody conflicts, although this is more common among lower-level beasts.

Upon advancing to the king level, the beast race can also shed their beastly form and become indistinguishable from humans. Today was the first time Xiao Chen had encountered a Beast King deep within the Luo Long Mountain Range.

Compared to the Hundred Clans, the beast tribe could be said to be extremely low-key, unwilling to meddle in the conflicts between humans and the Hundred Clans, appearing more like a race that exists independently between the two.

However, they never restrict beasts from joining any race or being subdued by any powerful warrior, and they equally turn a blind eye to the hunting of beasts for food by various tribes.

Of course, speaking of humans, when hunting beasts for food, it is common to also be preyed upon by beasts; such is the outcome of survival of the fittest.

"Xiao... Chieftain."

Upon seeing Xiao Chen, Gu Ling, now in human form, appeared somewhat hesitant; however, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Now that you have shed your timber form and developed flesh and blood, indistinguishable from us humans, call me Brother Xiao."

Hearing this, Gu Ling nodded. Even though he had ascended to the status of King Wood and even developed a fleshly body, transforming into human form, he was still very unfamiliar with the various social and emotional complexities of the human race, which he needed time to slowly comprehend.

"Brother Xiao, that person wants to capture me." After a moment, Gu Ling spoke again, hesitantly.

Xiao Chen nodded. The massive thunderous impact of Jian Mu’s tribulation crossing, if there had been no reaction from the Beast King within the depths of the Luo Long Mountain Range, that would have been strange.

Xiao Chen was not overly worried. In fact, the reason humans and the beast race could share the same land was due to an ancient covenant established long ago!

In ancient times, humans had driven the Hundred Clans out of the Wilderness, but they also needed to consume blood food for survival and reproduction. Under such circumstances, it was inevitable for the beast race to proliferate in the Wilderness.

Compared to the absolute eradication of humans by the Hundred Clans, the relationship between humans and beasts was more mutual hunting. Humans hunted beasts for food, while the beasts hunted humans in return, but this hunting was restricted to those below the king level.

This agreement has continued from the primordial era to this day. The mutual hunting between humans and beasts has resulted in countless lives lost by both sides.

In his heart, there was a realization that the mysterious golden figure had retreated not out of fear of him, for he could feel a subtle pressure emanating from the golden figure, clearly indicating superior strength.

Had it not been for a last moment of apprehension, an earth-shattering battle would have been unavoidable today.

"You have just passed through the thunder tribulation and transformed into a human form, your original body, Jian Mu, also needs your nourishing. First, return to the tribe and close off to condition your strength; the matters of the deep mountain range will eventually become clear one day," he said.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen cast aside the guesses in his mind and spoke to Gu Ling, who was behind him.

This time, because of Jian Mu’s tribulation, Xiao Chen had been forced to leave seclusion, and in fact, his cultivation had only stabilized a small part. Not even his Small World had completely merged with the Martial Arts Tower, which was a very lengthy process.

For other kings, now that the Martial Arts Tower had derived an Undying Martial Soul, during the forging of a Small World, the Tower would directly root itself in the world. However, because he had forged his Small World first, it necessitated reordering the Small World once again, fortunately, this fusion did not require his deliberate effort.

He had already allowed the Martial Arts Tower to root itself in the Small World, now he only needed to slowly nurture it.

Having been awakened, Xiao Chen did not immediately go back into seclusion. He first looked at his three children and then caught up on the events that had occurred in the tribe during the days of his retreat.

However, when it came to the tribe’s migration to the Wind Fire Area, he did not intervene, nor did he even meet with the tribal elders, leaving these matters entirely to the tribal elders and warriors.

As for his nine apprentices’ collective entry under the rule of the Daluo King Clan in the Eastern Region, this piqued Xiao Chen’s interest.

According to rumors, the strength of this Daluo King should match his current level, and as to what extent he had reached, it was unclear as kings seldom appeared.

This tribulation of Gu Ling had left the Gu Yuan Clan in a state of disarray. Although the Bronze Ancient City could self-repair, Xiao Chen felt that the present Bronze Ancient City could no longer meet the needs of the Gu Yuan Clan.

If the Gu Yuan Clan was still a Legendary Tribe, this ancient city would have been more than sufficient as a tribal city. But to serve as a King-level Tribe’s city, it fell far too short.

In the future, as the Gu Yuan Clan advanced to King-level, commanding the governance over various regions, it would certainly be the central area of the governed territories; thus, building a King City was imperative.

This King City would represent the Gu Yuan Clan and also signify the spiritual will of all tribes under its governance.

He thought of Eastern Emperor City, that vast and boundless huge city where from the outer city to the inner city, the end could not be seen. In the middle of this city, the Taihao Family of the Imperial Blood sat in power.

Although the Gu Yuan Clan could not compare to Eastern Emperor City, it could take inspiration from the layout of Eastern Emperor City, divided into the inner city and the outer city. The inner city would be where the people of the Gu Yuan Clan lived, the outer city given over to the other tribes under the governance of the Gu Yuan Clan.

Xiao Chen’s figure appeared at the control site of Bronze Ancient City, where Qingling appeared, greeting Xiao Chen with a bow.

"Qingling, if there is enough Golden Divine Spirit and other divine materials, to what level could the Bronze Ancient City advance?" he asked tersely.

Xiao Chen, not one for small talk, instructed Qingling with what was on his mind.

"Master, the Bronze Ancient City cannot evolve to the scenario you described, as there are natural limits. Namely, Qingling simply cannot control it, and thus talking about evolving an inner and outer city is out of the question," Qingling replied.

"If I could find a way for you to also evolve, reaching a higher level of artifact soul, could that allow the Bronze Ancient City to complete its transformation?"

Without any fluctuation in expression, Qingling responded, "If Qingling could evolve, it should be able to display the inner and outer city scenario as you described."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen finally nodded slightly, and then with a flash of green light in his hand, a golden flame orb the size of a zhang manifested, covered in Divine Texts, which was the core of the Windshaking Ancient City he had obtained.

It was because this core was immortal that the Windshaking Ancient City was able to drift in the Void World immemorially. One could imagine how powerful this orb emitting divine brilliance truly was.

"Master, this power is too vast, Qingling cannot merge with it," Qingling stated emotionlessly, as if stating a fact.

The orb emitted divine light, manifesting virtual flames of golden lotuses. However, he was now facing a dilemma on how to integrate it into the control core of the Bronze Ancient City.

This was the control core of a God’s City; though the Bronze Ancient City was mystical, the craftsmanship it was built with could not match the standards of a God’s City.

"Luli, do you have a way to fuse this control core of the God’s City with Qingling, allowing it to transform?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked Luli.

"Master, though this core is indeed from an ancient God’s City from long ago, it’s not as infinitely powerful as you imagine. After suffering through the long years, its divinity has diluted quite a lot," Luli replied.

"What can you do then?" Xiao Chen asked impatiently.

"Smashing it could be a solution. What we need is only the power for Qingling to advance. Moreover, the control will within this core is not suited for the Bronze Ancient City; although blasting it apart would waste some energy, it should be enough for Qingling to advance."

"Good!" Xiao Chen agreed without hesitation!
