Chapter 396: Chapter 385: Fortune Comes in Search of Spirit Items! (Second update) _1

[Please subscribe] "Murder, arson, and acquiring gold, this saying is applicable in any time and space. The outlaws of Shi Camel Ridge, under the leadership of Xiong Lingtian, had amassed a wealth of resources in just a short hundred years that once again astonished Xiao Chen.

There were more than two hundred thousand inferior elemental stones, thousands of catties worth of various precious ore casting materials, even dozens of thousand-year spirit medicines, over fifty sets of precious star beast bones, each set left behind by two-star beasts. As for other treasure medicines, spirit materials, precious star beast blood, if combined, they would weigh several thousand catties.

These resources were all the ill-gotten wealth Xiao Chen gathered from the entirety of Shi Camel Ridge. For the past hundred years, Xiong Lingyun and his band of outlaws committed every atrocity possible. Every ranger and other human war tribe’s caravan they encountered would invariably fall prey to them.

What’s more, these men were terrifyingly brutal; they not only robbed resources, but also slaughtered everyone they came across. The result was loss of life and property. Over time, human rangers rarely hunted in the wilderness around Shi Camel Ridge, while some human tribes in the vicinity were completely dominated by its tyranny and had to pay tribute year after year.

Shi Camel Ridge is composed of hundreds of ancient mountains, stretching across a thousand miles, no less significant in geographical proportions compared to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. The savage wilderness forest is ubiquitous, with poisonous insects and snakes slithering everywhere. Even though Xiong Lingyun occupied this mountain range, he just selected a thousand-zhang high ancient mountain near the outer edge of the mountain range as a residence, and the deep parts of the mountain range remained mostly uninhabited by humans.

Roar!

With a roar from the sky horse, it finally spat out a ball of golden flames and the temperature in the wilderness suddenly soared. The golden flames fell to the ground, setting the blood-colored ground ablaze. The remaining corpses and blood in the forest were completely consumed by the flames. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Over hundreds of years of development at Shi Camel Ridge, in addition to over a hundred centurions and thousands of weaker members, there were also many elderly, women, and children.

Of course, Xiao Chen’s sudden arrival put an end to all of these outlaws. This immediately plunged the mountain ridge into chaos, with some people constantly fleeing deep into the savage wilderness forest. Xiao Chen didn’t care, this vast wilderness was fraught with danger, especially in this towering mountain range and perilous land. Whether these low-level outlaws at the early stage of the Bone-Tempering Realm could escape is still a question.

After burning out the nests of all the culprits at Shi Camel Ridge, Xiao Chen stood on the peak of the mountain, gazing at the desolate ancient forest - a chain of towering, endless mountains. From deep in the ancient forest, there were occasional dull roars, with star beasts lurking in the dangerous lands and roaring arrogantly.

Without stopping, Xiao Chen got on the sky horse and flew towards the depth of the mountain range. Ancient mountains pervaded Shi Camel Ridge, with peakd thousands of zhang high each. Looking distantly, the peaks reached into the depths of the sky. The further into the mountain range, the more star beasts there were, with poisonous insects and snakes emerging endlessly.

Boom!

Xiao Chen killed an approaching bear. This was a two-star beast close to the higher grade, capable of matching a human warrior at the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm. It was the most powerful star beast within a thousand miles of Shi Camel Ridge and it took its place as the rightful supreme overlord. Yet Xiao Chen had reached the deepest part of the mountains of Shi Camel Ridge.

The desolate wilderness is full of spirit energy, being a ancient mountain range in the wilds. Although nowadays it is unknown how many epochs have passed since the ancient era, the primal energy of heaven and earth has dispersed, but the primal energy here is two to three times more abundant than the outer world.

Now, what Xiao Chen saw was a giant peak reaching into the sky, this solitary ancient mountain already occupied a hundred miles of land. On the mountain there were ancient trees thick enough to wrap your arms around, dotting streams and cliffs. Xiao Chen even saw some ancient trees that were so gigantic, ten or even dozens of people could not wrap their arms around them. These ancient trees, which had experienced tens of thousands of years of vicissitudes, still stood firm on the cliffs.

The Earth Core Stone Marrow is the essence of the earth, the crystal of mountains and rivers, formed over tens of thousands of years, a wondrous product of heaven and earth. But this wonder of heaven and earth had no effect whatsoever on human martial arts cultivation. It is rarely found in the vast wilderness. If Xiao Chen had not been gathering the fate of the human race to establish his lineage, he would not have been able to detect such wonders of heaven and earth.

It was learned from the secret scrolls left behind by the Purple Snake Venerable about establishing the human tribe and channeling the fate of humanity that the Earth Core Stone Marrow is not made of copper, iron, stone, or gold. Instead, it is a kind of Spirit Item that absorbs the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, the stars, moon, and sun, condenses its origin, and can even mobilize the strength of the mountains and rivers.

Not only that, the document states that even the most elementary Earth Core Stone Marrow needs the energy of Earth Veins spanning thousands of miles before it can be nurtured and formed. Moreover, it requires fate and coincidence to form the appropriate conditions in some deep cave. It is exceptionally difficult to have one marrow form in every ten thousand mountains.

Not only that, but the documents also state that the Earth Core Stone Marrow, nurtured by Heaven and Earth, is a Spirit Item whose spirit is pure and good, pure and flawless at its origin, and can, therefore, draw down the fate of the human tribe.

’Ten thousand mountains conceive one marrow,’ the spirit items of heaven and earth are elusive. Xiao Chen did not dare to determine that this Mountain of Lion Camel indeed was nurturing an Earth Core Stone Marrow. Looking at the towering ancient mountain in front of him, this ancient mountain is likely where the Earth Core Stone Marrow exists in the Mountain of Lion Camel.

"Condense!"

With Xiao Chen’s shout, an invisible fluctuation immediately descended upon Heaven and Earth, and the illusory halo appeared high above the sky.

Boom!

A virtual, faint purple Qi abruptly appeared above Xiao Chen’s head, simple and unadorned, filled with profound and elusive implications. This is the destiny of the human tribe that Xiao Chen has been accumulating since slaying the aliens. However, this Qi has not yet truly manifested itself. It’s not even close to condensing a bronze war name or acquiring the title of the human tribe. This descending fate was only an arm-thick virtual purple Qi.

Despite being just an arm-thick illusory purple Qi, Xiao Chen still felt a majestic will. This was the vast will derived from the extensive human tribe that has grown over the ages. It was vast and mighty, and it also had a feeling of inclusiveness of all rivers, kindness to all. Just this trace of aura made him feel boundless and majestic.

Presently, thousands of aliens have died in Xiao Chen’s hands, including more than ten centurions. Although the accumulation of their essence has not yet reached the point where the destiny of the human tribe could feedback on him, it is enough to seek the Qi of the Earth Core Stone Marrow at present.

The human tribe’s fate is unpredictable and can be considered the most profound mystery in the Great Wasteland. It is connected to the development and reproduction of the entire tribe in an inexplicable way, and its mystery is beyond measure. Even the supreme powerhouses of the human tribe throughout the ages have struggled to understand it.

"The Fate Descends!"

After a gentle chant, a strong purple light overshadowed Xiao Chen’s body. It was a strange sensation, as at this moment, he even felt that the world in front of him started to become clearer. The numerous arcane trajectories originally hidden between Heaven and Earth unveiled themselves right before his eyes, and he could sense the countless Qi mechanisms deep in the mountain range.
