Chapter 1499 - 1454: Legitimate Family Member, A Chicken Ribs Avatar!

Chapter 1499: Chapter 1454: Legitimate Family Member, A Chicken Ribs Avatar!

Above the Void, a Green Shadow stood there without the slightest imposing aura, yet it shone like the blazing sun at the pinnacle of the Sky Vault, dazzling and eye-catching.

For any tribal aristocratic family, the Supreme Tribal Leader is the spiritual leader of all the Tribe People, just like the Human Emperor’s status in the Human Realm. The strength of a chieftain directly reflects the spiritual demeanor of the tribe members when they are abroad!

Without a doubt, now in the Southern Territory, the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe have already fostered a sense of tribal pride. This is the belief in their tribe built by Xiao Chen through leading them in an unyielding march forward.

Especially those younger tribespeople below, most of whom have grown up listening to the illustrious name of Xiao Chen since birth, have an inexplicable fervor for their chieftain.

And this fervent glory, along with the reputation of Xiao Chen fermenting further, now that Xiao Chen has been recognized as the Saint Child of Eastern Wasteland and made a name for himself in All Heavens and Myriads of Realms, has solidified the tribe people’s acknowledgment of their tribe. This is the birth and consolidation of a tribal aristocratic family’s cohesion!

"The chieftain personally summoned us; could it be that he wants to take disciples?"

The frenzied cheers, one wave after another, shot straight to the sky, utterly unstoppable, with expectation gleaming in everyone’s eyes.

"Silence, what decorum is this!" Suddenly the Grand Elder barked a cold command, finally calming down the younger members of the tribe below, yet the expectation in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Xiao Chen’s gaze swept over those below, and in no time, had scrutinized everyone. He had to admit that these younger generations had talents even greater than he had anticipated.

Some even possessed faint traces of Spiritual Power or mists of Blood Qi surrounding their bodies. While invisible to others, these subtleties could not escape his eyes now.

The presence of Spiritual Power is a sign of a Ling Body, although not comparable to the Rain Clan with their innate affinity towards the Dao of Water. Still, it is not too shabby in the Desolate Wilds. As for the Blood Qi manifested, it clearly indicates that the ancestors of these individuals cultivated at least to the level of Supreme or higher. The return of their bloodline represents their potential.

In an extremely short time, the Gu Yuan Tribe has spanned the development process of a tribe. Starting with Xiao Chen’s comrades as the first generation, his disciples could be regarded as the second generation, and these younger members as the third generation.

Hum!

The next moment, with a wave of Xiao Chen’s hand, his five fingers, like Divine Mountains, sent divine brilliance scattering downwards, entering some of the juniors.

"All those with Ling Guang emanating from their bodies, step forward!"

These individuals, possessing Ling Bodies or bloodline inheritances, totaled about three hundred and ten; everyone’s gaze was immediately drawn to them. Xiao Chen’s divine brilliance had triggered the latent fortunes within their bodies.

The chosen juniors, at first stunned, then revealed ecstatic joy in their eyes, sensing the ripples deep within their bodies. Although some did not fully grasp what was happening, it was clear they received some kind of fortune!

And so, amid envious stares from others, these three hundred plus individuals stepped to the front of the queue!

"The Ling Guang and Blood Qi on you signal the presence of Ling Bodies and the ancestral return of bloodlines, which will aid your future cultivation!"

Xiao Chen did not delay. The next moment, beams of divine brilliance emerged from his hands and directly targeted the chosen juniors.

This was him infusing a small part of the Great Dao Law into them based on each individual’s unique physique. Their bodies were not yet able to withstand the erosion of the laws, therefore, he sealed it within them, to gradually unfold through their cultivation progress.

Moreover, the Law of the Great Dao served merely as a primer; his goal was to set these younger generations on the path of understanding the law from the start.

However, Xiao Chen did not play favorites. The next moment, a vast expanse of divine brilliance burst forth from him, like a sky full of colorful clouds, descending towards the juniors below, permeating into each of the juniors’ bodies!

"The fact that you are all standing here means that every one of you has gained my recognition for your talent. You are the geniuses born among the forty million members of our Gu Yuan Tribe!"

As he spoke, Xiao Chen looked over those below again. He had purposely chosen those with Ling Bodies and bloodline talents!

"Being born with a Ling Body or ancestral return of bloodlines doesn’t guarantee that one will reach the peak. Each of your talents is one in ten thousand, and surpassing bloodline talents is not difficult!"

These words from Xiao Chen directed to the rest below sparked determination in the eyes of some juniors—clearly, not everyone was willing to accept their current state without contest.

His gaze followed, turning towards the chosen juniors with innate Ling Bodies and bloodline returns.

"Born with a Ling Body and bloodline return signifies your fate and fortune, an indication that your starting point in the Martial Realm is naturally higher than your peers. This is your advantage. If you do not cherish it, you can still fall to the dust, surpassed by your peers with talent. That would be to disgrace your own gifts!"

With these calm words from Xiao Chen, the group of more than three hundred became a bit restless, their eyes filled with resolve.

And similarly, those youngsters with decent talents, though lacking natural spirit bodies and ancestral bloodline regression, had just as much determination in their eyes.

"I have sealed a fortuitous opportunity inside each and every one of you, as for when you can obtain this fortune, it will depend on your own fate!"

"In the future, anyone who breaks through the Tower of Ten Thousand Spirits, and secures a spot on the rankings of the Hidden Dragon List, the Prodigy List, or the quasi-King List, will also receive the fortune I bestow!"

Currently, within the Tower of Ten Thousand Spirits, there are 36,000 spots each on the Hidden Dragon List and the Prodigy List, yet earning a place on these lists is no easy task.

As the rankings for the Blood Refining Realm and the Towering Realm, especially the Blood Refining Realm, some aristocratic family descendants have, since birth, utilized spirit items from heaven and earth to cleanse their marrow and hone their bones, forging supreme foundations. Such acquired backgrounds are sufficient to crush countless others’ opportunities and fortunes.

But the Gu Yuan Tribe has not yet reached such conditions.

However, supreme foundations forged from birth are not unbreakable. The further one goes in the Martial Realm, every warrior’s fortune and opportunities are different, and there may very well be latecomers who surpass the rest.

As his voice faded, Xiao Chen’s figure disappeared into the void just like that.

Seeing Xiao Chen vanish, the previously serious group of juniors below instantly felt more relaxed, as Xiao Chen’s imposing presence had been awe-inspiring.

"Grand Elder, Grand Elder, tell us about the matter of talent!"

Immediately, calls came one after another. However, the tribe’s younger generation that had been gathered together was now split into two separate groups; those with natural spirit bodies and the lineage of bloodline regression, chosen by Xiao Chen, did not return to the original group.

Seeing this scene, the Grand Elder couldn’t help but smile wryly, noticing that their Chief deliberately created a competitive atmosphere, but competition also fosters progress!

Then, pausing for a moment, the Grand Elder proceeded to say, "Natural spirit bodies and bloodline regression are innate fortunes. Some ancient Emperor Clans, King-level Tribes, or even Imperial Blood Noble Families have passed down their bloodline heritage from generation to generation, ensuring their tribe’s power. Not to mention distant examples, take Lady Mu for instance, with her bloodline regression to King’s Blood Vessel, she has now ascended to the Supreme King Realm. Thus, I hope you will not waste the bloodline and talent within you!"

With that, a glint of radiance shone in the eyes of that group of over three hundred youths, and a hint of self-confidence arose in their hearts. With their innate bloodline inheritance and natural spirit bodies, their starting point was higher than those of their peers. If others were to catch up to them in the path of martial arts, wouldn’t it mean they were far too incompetent?

And on the other side, those with decent talent but without spirit bodies or ancestral bloodlines had a rise of fighting will in their eyes, harboring a sense of dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Feeling the surging fighting will, the Grand Elder nodded in satisfaction. However, a flicker of Ling Guang passed through his cloudy eyes, and then he cracked a smile, stating lightly, "But do not forget, our Chief in his own right is a mere common body who has bravely fought through adversities and swept through All Heavens!"

...

After sealing the Great Dao Law inside the bodies of the tribe’s juniors, Xiao Chen returned to the Blue Stone Garden. These young ones are to be nurtured as the pinnacle forces of the future Gu Yuan Tribe, or to put it plainly, as seeds of kings!

Of course, ninety-nine percent of them, or even a hundred percent, will stop short of kingship, but this is still sufficient for them to become the tribe’s battle-strength pillars!

According to the structure of a tribe, stepping into the Supreme Realm is considered the true pinnacle of a King-level Tribe. After all, kings above the seventh heavenly layer generally enter secluded cultivation when things are stable, rare to be seen.

Beyond that are a group of demi-kings and legendary strong ones, serving as tribe administrators controlling the normal operation of the tribe, followed by esteemed individuals above the Zun level in management roles, while Supreme Kings are the pinnacle supports of the tribe.

In the Desolate Wilds, ancient powers with bloodline continuity ensure an unbroken line of kings, or like the Sword-covering Pavilion, they recruit many high-talent seeds, accumulating power through numbers.

At present, in the Gu Yuan Tribe, apart from Xiao Chen, there is Yun Wei at the sixth heavenly layer of kingship, whose strength is still rapidly advancing. Mu Qing is in seclusion for cultivation, bound to have a qualitative improvement upon emergence. Additionally, there are Little Golden, the celestial steed, and Jian Mu.

Although the number of kings may seem inconceivable to others in the Desolate Wilds, Xiao Chen still feels that he has no one available.

Apart from other forces affiliated under his command, it is a problem that the Gu Yuan Tribe lacks his true direct-lineage kings to go on campaigns and lead troops.

Hum!

With a gentle breeze blowing, a green light appeared in front of Xiao Chen, which then twisted and coalesced into a figure that had the same voice as his own.

It was his wind-law avatar!

However, in Xiao Chen’s current perspective, this avatar was merely trivial; sixth layer strength was far too weak for him now.

Moreover, when he first condensed the avatar, he was still exploring his path, and had not fully transitioned to the path of the divine. Now, to enhance the avatar’s strength, it seems the effort might not be worthwhile!
