Chapter 1496: Chapter 1451: Tranquil Tribe - Tribal Advancement! (4)

Instantly, all gazes turned toward the inner city of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Who within the Gu Yuan Tribe didn’t know the identity of Xiao Qianyuan—a young master from a Supreme King Tribe, whose status, with the current standing of the Gu Yuan Tribe, was even more pronounced and prestigious.

Standing alongside the Tower of Ten Thousand Spirits, how could Xiao Qianyuan not personally challenge it? Of course, he also secured a spot for himself, ranking number nine thousand and ninety-nine on the Pre-King List.

On the Pre-King List, his rank wasn’t high, and could even be considered the last tier on the list. However, looking at the whole Human World, those who could make the list were absolutely among the strongest of the semi-kings.

The overwhelming challenge resounded throughout the inside and outside of the city, and Xiao Qianyuan, who was leisurely watching the excitement, didn’t expect someone to actually challenge him!

In the inner city, atop an Ancient Mountain, Xiao Qianyuan’s eyes looked outward toward the city. Opposite him, a lady in a white dress, with a mysterious aura around her barely perceptible, covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.

"Junior Brother, you are our Gu Yuan Tribe’s young chieftain; you mustn’t lose face!"

Hearing the woman’s teasing, Xiao Qianyuan’s still somewhat immature face immediately crinkled.

"Senior Sister, now I finally understand why our senior brothers didn’t enter the Tower of Ten Thousand Spirits. Just these challenges alone are annoying enough."

Xiao Qianyuan huffed, as if thinking of something, and then said fiercely: "It seems I have indeed been tricked by several senior brothers. They must have anticipated so much trouble and thus pushed me to brave the tower. Then, seeing that I could leave my name in the tower with my strength, while they could easily thrash me, they didn’t bother with the tower at all!"

Seeing Xiao Qianyuan’s scrunched face, Yun Wei chuckled lightly. Not to mention, Xiao Qianyuan had guessed correctly. Those senior brothers did have such intentions—having a junior brother naturally meant they had to offer some ’help,’ and of course, they euphemistically called it sparring.

Although Xiao Qianyuan guessed that he had been further duped by his senior brothers, right now he had no choice but to go out to meet the challenge.

"Go on, Junior Brother. Do not tarnish the dignity of our Gu Yuan Tribe."

"Alright then."

Subsequently, Xiao Qianyuan stepped down from the peak of the Ancient Mountain, and within a few strides reached the Outer City, attracting the gaze of everyone instantly.

In today’s Southern Territory, who didn’t know about the Gu Yuan King’s Department? Therefore, details big and small about the Gu Yuan Tribe had become information pursued by everyone, not to mention Xiao Qianyuan!

The next in line to inherit the Gu Yuan Tribe was certainly the focus of attention for other warriors!

"You are not my match!" Looking at the warrior challenging him, Xiao Qianyuan gently shook his head and spoke.

"Whether I’m a match or not, we won’t know until we fight!" However, it seemed that the challenger was particularly discontented with Xiao Qianyuan’s words!

"Then let’s begin!"

Since battle was inevitable, Xiao Qianyuan naturally chose to end the fight quickly. His senior sister was waiting for him to enjoy tea, and it was this person who spoiled the atmosphere.

"Kill!"

Instantly, Lu Shan acted, his body gathering a vast expanse of azure light. It seemed he practiced one of the mysteries associated with the wood Dao, starting to summon Ancient trees to combat his enemy.

In a breath’s time, Xiao Qianyuan was surrounded by a dense thicket of grass and trees, forming an extremely close-knit net.

"Bind!"

However, as soon as Lu Shan’s voice fell, silver light burst forth between heaven and earth. A streak of silver lightning, like a dragon, directly cut through the woven net of grass and trees, scattering immense power and leaving a dark trail in the Void, heading toward him!

Puh!

Just like Mo Ge who was previously blown away, Lu Shan was similarly sent flying, his eyes full of disbelief!

What!

The crowd, who had been expecting a fierce battle, didn’t think it would be so simple!

Absolute suppressive strength with no earth-shattering battle, the fight was resolved swiftly, with the actual combat lasting even shorter than the time taken to issue the challenge.

"Just as I thought, Young Master Xiao is of that lineage; how could he be simple? Besides, a difference of several dozen seats, it’s only normal to lose!"

"The Gu Yuan Tribe, despite its short history, has already unrivaled depths in the Southern Territory. Truly ignorant of the vast skies and the vast earth, one dares to challenge Young Master Xiao!"

With one move defeating his opponent, Xiao Qianyuan showed no sign of celebration. Flicking his wrists, he stepped back into the tribe, not carrying away a trace of his aura. For a moment, he even bore a slight resemblance to the young Xiao Chen.

"I will come again!" Lu Shan, with blood at the corner of his mouth, was unwilling to concede and shouted towards the retreating figure of Xiao Qianyuan.

"At your convenience, I await!" Xiao Qianyuan, without looking back, stepped into the inner city of the Gu Yuan Tribe—truly a jest. The frequent torments by his senior brothers had made him unafraid of others’ challenges.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qianyuan could not help but feel a surge of resentment—truly detestable. Under the guise of honing his Martial Arts, his senior brothers would appear from time to time for a fight, with him invariably being the one tormented in the end.

Moreover, these senior brothers did not obtain a ranking in the Tower of Spirits, clearly anticipating these tiresome challenges. In their words, the Gu Yuan Tribe couldn’t lack a Pre-King List powerhouse. As the tribal heir, he should showcase the might of the Gu Yuan Tribe, while they as senior brothers would support him from behind.

All of this, Xiao Chen saw in his eyes, with a hint of laughter. Addressing Xiao Qianyuan’s unassuming demeanor, he couldn’t help but curse and laugh: "This kid."

He also communicated with the Tower of Ten Thousand Spirits, where the change of its rule list was a product of the tower sensing changes in the Outer World and autonomously adapting.

Xiao Chen couldn’t deny this, since at the time of the tower’s erection, although the Human Realm was vast, the influence of the Tower of Spirits on the various Human Race Territories had not reached its maximum extent. Over time, all five regions of the land had been set in motion, and the sentient Tower of Spirits had naturally adapted instinctively to the situation.

"How was that, Senior Sister? Wasn’t Junior Brother’s performance decent?" Xiao Qianyuan returned to the Tribe and back to the mountain top, grinning as he spoke.

"You still have a long way to go!"

However, before Yun Wei could reply, an authoritative voice suddenly caused her expression to change dramatically!

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Qianyuan instinctively dodged to the side, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by bitterness as he turned his head unwillingly.

"Father isn’t supposed to return from the Eastern Emperor Domain so soon, how come he’s back already!"

Xiao Chen bypassed him and took a seat on the Stone Chair, and Yun Wei too stood up to salute Xiao Chen. It had been a while since they last met, and Yun Wei’s aura had once again become more mysterious.

With Xiao Chen’s current strength, it was naturally evident that Yun Wei had already stepped into the realm of the sixth layer of kingship, though she had just reached this level not long ago. The speed of her strength advancement was even more terrifying than his!

After gesturing for Yun Wei to sit down, Xiao Chen turned his gaze back to Xiao Qianyuan, and seeing the fearful look in his eyes, the seriousness he had put on involuntarily faded away as he spoke, "Within ten years, you must enter the top three thousand in the Pretender Kings Rank; within thirty years, the top one thousand; and within a hundred years, the top five hundred!"

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, Xiao Qianyuan waited a moment and, seeing that his father did not continue, couldn’t help but ask, "Is that all?"

This made Xiao Chen burst into laughter, clearly amused that his son found the task he arranged to be too simple, and then his face turned cold again.

"The Pretender Kings Rank is merely a measure of combat power. As long as one can enter the top five hundred, the combat power has essentially reached a climax, and the truly powerful are naturally already preparing to break through the King’s Dao!!"

"Oh."

Seeing that Xiao Chen, who had just relaxed his demeanor, became serious again, Xiao Qianyuan couldn’t help but fall silent once more.

"Go tell the Tribal Elders to tally the cultivation status of the Gu Yuan Clan, starting with the newly born infants. Prioritize those with talent. We convene a clan council in three days."

Soon after, Xiao Chen spoke again, Xiao Qianyuan glanced at him and then at Yun Wei before departing.

"Master, little sister has integrated with the Wang Yao to ninety percent without any abnormalities, she should wake up soon!"

Suddenly, Yun Wei spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly, and soon spoke again, "Wei’er, gather all your junior brothers back to the clan."

"Yes!" Without asking the reason, Yun Wei obediently nodded. Her junior brothers were scattered across the vast land, and now they were also becoming well-known in the Southern Territory.

Having instructed all of this, Xiao Chen headed towards the Blue Stone Garden.

"My lord husband, aren’t you cheating by exploiting the loopholes of Martial Arts?"

A coquettish hum reverberated around the Great Hall, and a figure in a fiery red dress moved ethereally, with swirls of fragrant breezes transforming into a mist of a red Sea of Fire.

"Sister, you can be at ease now, I told you our lord husband would not let you grow old."

Suddenly, a streak of green light like fleeting clouds, with each step she took, a blossoming Azure Lotus appeared, her beautiful eyes teasing as they turned.

At this moment, Nianhua’s cheeks were flushed like the tide, revealing a faint blush, and her eyes sparkled with a hint of shy coyness.

The inability to break through her cultivation level had always been a shackle in her heart. It wasn’t about the desire for strength, but because of lifespan. Now, the heavy stone that had been pressing on her heart could finally be lifted!

"Ah..."

With a coquettish hum, the originally giggling Mu Qing was caught in a pair of hot hands the next moment, unable to escape his grasp no matter how she struggled. Instantly, the object of her teasing changed roles.

"Sister, could it be that, with our husband away for so long, you..."

Mu Qing’s cheeks turned tomato red, but stubbornly, she retorted with a cold hum, "Does sister not long for it?"

After some playful banter, the three of them finally calmed down.

"Husband, is your method really feasible?"

"To cultivate the Immortal Battle Body with Nianhua, refining her body with the laws, with me overseeing, no major issues will arise even if something goes wrong!" After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Chen spoke.

"Husband, I will cultivate alongside you." However, Nianhua’s eyes were firm as she made up her mind.

"This time out, I’ve made no small gains, not only have I comprehended the path of cultivation, cut through past entanglements but I’ve also found that I can condense the origin of laws to assist others in their cultivation!"

"So, husband plans to infuse and nurture the bodies of the Gu Yuan Clan Elders, the young talents, and the gifted children with the essence of laws to lay their foundations!"

Mu Qing’s beautiful eyes twinkled as she shifted in Xiao Chen’s embrace, finding a comfortable position against his chest, squinting lazily and speaking with a hint of languor.

"Right, but there’s an important matter to attend to before that!"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen answered seriously!

"What important matter?" Curiosity sparked in both Mu Qing and Nianhua’s eyes.

"That is..." Xiao Chen began, then without finishing his words, his hand reached out and grabbed Nianhua who was beside him.

"Ah..."

With a cry of surprise, the three figures in the Great Hall completely vanished.
