Chapter 1259: Chapter 1222: Enhancing the Elders’ Strength, Starry Sky Battleship Soul Guidance!_2

"But Chief, even if our Gu Yuan Tribe can restrict the hidden families outside the Gu Yuan Domain from entering the Southern Region of the Desolate Land, they can still obtain resources from the Southern Region through the hidden families under our rule," the Grand Elder said. "This way, we still can’t stop it."

"Grand Elder, I never said we should stop the flow of resources," Xiao Chen replied with a light chuckle.

"Take casting materials, for example. A top-grade fire gem that’s worth one top-grade Yuan stone in the Southern Region is worth ten top-grade Yuan stones here in the Eastern Wasteland. Take the Xiangyang King Division, for instance. If they obtain gems from the Southern Region, would they really be willing to trade them at an equal value with other hidden families?"

"Everyone says that these hidden families are united as one, but I, the king, would love to see if they will remain united in the face of true interests."

"So, Chief, by prohibiting the other hidden families from the Southern Domain of the Eastern Wasteland from using the Void Teleportation Array, you want the hidden families to start infighting over their interests?"

"Exactly. Once the Xiangyang Family and other hidden families in different regions fall out with each other, that will be the moment for our Gu Yuan to completely take them down."

...

Blue Stone Garden.

Xiao Chen sat beneath the Spiritual Wood, his two daughters situated obediently beside him, one diligently massaging his back and the other serving him tea.

"You two little imps needn’t do this. The journey to the Central Plains’ Wangjing Palace was decided the moment you were born. When the Tian Tai Goddess next descends upon our Gu Yuan Tribe, that will be the moment you embark on your journey to the Central Plains’ Wangjing Palace."

Looking at his two daughters fluttering like butterflies in a dance before him, Xiao Chen enjoyed the warmth of the moment, but he remained firm in the face of his daughters’ coquettish pleas.

"Dad, the Wangjing Palace is so far away. If your daughters are bullied, how could you bear it?"

Xiao Yufei massaged Xiao Chen’s shoulders earnestly, though she knew it was of no use, and whined nonetheless.

"Whoever dares to bully you girls will regret ever coming into this world."

"But if it’s that far away, even if your daughters are bullied, Dad won’t know, right?" Seeing Xiao Yufei’s meaningful glances, Xiao Qingyou pouted in quick succession.

Turning a blind eye to his daughters’ little antics, Xiao Chen followed with, "The Wangjing Palace is a branch of the Imperial Dao Sect, a heritage of longevity. If you can learn even a little there, it will be of immense benefit to you sisters in the future."

"We can learn from following Dad just as well."

"What Dad has learned is rigorous and explosive, not suitable for you girls. As for your safety, Dad has his own arrangements."

"Hmph, sister, it seems Dad is determined to send us out of the tribe. Let’s go, forget about him."

"And no more Spirit Tea for you."

In the next moment, Xiao Yufei took Xiao Qingyou and turned into two streaks of light, flying out of the Blue Stone Garden, leaving Xiao Chen with a mix of amusement and helplessness.

As Xiao Chen’s awkwardness became apparent, laughter could be heard, and he didn’t look back as Mu Qing and Nianhua gracefully approached.

"These two girls are too mischievous."

Xiao Chen’s eyes twinkled with amusement, void of any anger.

"Husband, have all the vassal tribes been taken care of?" Nianhua spoke up.

"The Imperial Command has been issued. The rest can be left to the Tribal Elders to handle," Xiao Chen said offhandedly. "Have you sent out the orders?"

"I’ve already delivered the Skymending Fruits to Shi Ya, Xue Li, Fengyu, and the Jiao brothers," Mu Qing confirmed, and Xiao Chen nodded in response.

"Husband, the Xiangyang King Division didn’t just send a message; they also brought six ninth-rank Martial Arts Towers. The Grand Elder handed them over to me, but I’m not sure how to deal with them."

Suddenly, Mu Qing spoke again.

"These six ninth-rank Martial Arts Towers come from the four King-level Tribes."

Xiao Chen responded, knowing the four King-level Tribes had deep foundations. It wasn’t difficult for them to hand over a few ninth-rank Martial Arts Towers. This was also one of the conditions of the alliance Xiao Chen had established with the four King-level Tribes.

The condition was that each of the four King-level Tribes would provide one ninth-rank Martial Arts Tower in exchange for five hundred years of access to the Gu Yuan Tribe’s Void Teleportation Array. During these three hundred years, the four King-level Tribes could pass through the Array without paying a single Yuan stone to the Gu Yuan Tribe.

The reason for there being six Martial Arts Towers was that, in addition to the four designated in the agreement, the other two were exchanged by Xiao Chen for other treasures with the Xiangyang King Division and the Heavenly Cassia King Division.

This was a necessity, as the legendary half-king strong ones were scarce in the Gu Yuan Tribe, and Xiao Chen’s disciples needed to leave the tribe to oversee various domains. Now, only Elder Chunmu and Lord Qingjiao remained in the entire tribe.

As for the tribe’s five Grand Elders of Gold and the three Gold War Generals, they needed to be in charge of a part of the affairs, and only those who had reached the Legendary Realm were qualified enough for the current Gu Yuan Tribe. This was the only way Xiao Chen could think of for them to enhance their strength.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Soon, a series of footsteps came from outside the Blue Stone Garden, and several figures appeared in front of Xiao Chen.

They were Blood Fiend, the master of the Performing Martial Arts Hall; Huang Liang, the master of the Martial Arts Tower; Tie Wen, the master of the Internal Affairs Hall; Ding Shan, the master of the Heavenly Soldier Hall; Xiao Bangtu, and Luo Yun Mountain, the master of the War God Temple.

"Greetings, Patriarch."

"Please, elders, have a seat," Xiao Chen said softly.

"May I know why the Patriarch has summoned us?"

"Today, our Gu Yuan Tribe has built a King-level Tribe. Each of you elders has walked this journey with me, and your hard work is commendable."

Without hesitation, Xiao Chen waved his hand, and instantly six crystal-clear Martial Arts Towers appeared in front of him, each gleaming and divided into nine levels from top to bottom.

Martial Arts Towers!

Seeing the Martial Arts Towers appearing before them, the elders exclaimed in surprise, their breathing even becoming somewhat rapid.

"Elders, each of you will take one Martial Arts Tower to refine it into your bodies and enhance your cultivation," Xiao Chen declared.

After their initial excitement, the Tribal Elders wasted no time in proceeding. Despite their excitement, they understood that now that Gu Yuan had become a King-level Tribe, their cultivation also carried certain responsibilities.

Xiao Chen did not take out any more King’s Momentum crystals, but instead, he presented six multi-colored Sky Mending Fruits. Although the Sky Mending Fruits were meant to repair any deficiencies in the Martial Arts Towers, they contain innate energy, which would make it easier for the elders to integrate the Martial Arts Towers and blend them with their Martial Dao oceans.

...

Three days later, the helmsman of the Nine Springs Family, Venerable Jiao, personally visited the Gu Yuan Tribe.

"Greetings, King."

Venerable Jiao bowed with respect, his demeanor filled with awe.

"The Nine Springs Family is quite efficient in sending messages. The moment the Starry Sky Battleship was completed, you’ve already arrived," Xiao Chen said with a light smile to the elder below.

"This Starry Sky Battleship represents the renewed hope of our Nine Springs Family. Naturally, the entire family has been attentive. I also need to thank the King for his substantial help, without which our family would not have been able to resurrect a Starry Sky Battleship after tens of thousands of years."

"Compared to the other Hidden Families, I hold the Nine Springs Family in higher regard. Our two families have joined hands to construct the Starry Sky Battleship based on mutual need. But let’s not forget the original agreement - upon the completion of the Starry Sky Battleship, the Nine Springs Family shall pass on the core spiritual methods used in constructing the great battleship to the Gu Yuan Tribe."

"Naturally, Nine Springs has not forgotten our agreement. Now that the great battleship has been completed, I have come to complete the final, and most important, Spirit Guidance. Simultaneously, I will convey the core spiritual methods to the Gu Yuan King’s Department."

"It seems that the Nine Springs Family is ready with the core spirit nature?"

Upon hearing Venerable Jiao’s remarks, a hint of curiosity shone in Xiao Chen’s eyes. The core spirit nature of the Starship was crucial and required a soul as the catalyst; the stronger the soul, the mightier the Starship’s power would be.

It was curious what the now-dilapidated Nine Springs Family would use as the core spirit nature for the great Starship.

However, to Xiao Chen’s surprise, upon hearing his words, a look of desolation came over Venerable Jiao’s face.

Buzz!

The next moment, in front of Xiao Chen, a majestic air of kingship burst forth.

"King Xiao, how about this remains of my soul to serve as the core spirit nature for the Starry Sky Battleship?"
