Chapter 399: Chapter 388: Kidnap! (Fifth Update)_1

The rounded little beast suddenly leapt onto a pale-yellow hill and in the blink of an eye, its whole body melded into the hill, becoming part of the Earth Core Stone Marrow.

Xiao Chen’s guess was indeed correct, this pale-yellow critter and the Earth Core Stone Marrow were one and the same, sharing the same root and source. Perhaps it was a companion beast birthed from the marrow. The relationship between the two of them was like the blood ties between humans.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Atop the pale-yellow hill, it was as if rays of light were stirring. This little beast was like a fish swimming freely in an ocean within the stone marrow without any hindrance. After a while, a bulge appeared at the peak of the hill. Two bean-sized eyes flickered with spirit.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Roar!

The little creature began haggling with Xiao Chen again. The Earth Core Stone Marrow was like blood kin to the creature. Though it couldn’t resist the temptation of the human fortune right now, and brought it out, wanting to exchange it for the purple fortune that Xiao Chen had, it didn’t completely want to hand it over to Xiao Chen.

For an Earth Core Stone Marrow that was a full ten Zhang high, Xiao Chen would not be truthful if he said he didn’t want it all. The human war division attracted destiny, established the Clan and the Clan Stele was indispensable. The Stele represented a type of qualification, a capability to annex vassal tribes and to partition other tribal territories.

It also served as a bond between the numerous vassal tribes of the upper and lower territories. If there was no Clan Stele, even if other tribes came to pledge their allegiance, that would not be legitimate. The relationship between the two tribes would merely be nominal subordination, and the Gu Yuan Tribe would not be able to genuinely control these lower tribes.

This Earth Core Stone Marrow, being ten Zhang in size, sufficed to allow the Gu Yuan Tribe to advance to the Marquis Battle Division, suppressing the tens of thousands under its jurisdiction. In his memory, the Earth Core Stone Marrow used to forge the Clan Stele of the former Purple Snake Battle Division was no more than ten Zhang in size.

At the far end, taking the middle-grade Iron Hoof Battle Division for example, the Earth Core Stone Marrow used to cast the Clan Stele in their tribe was but a Zhang in size. After blending with other divine materials, they managed to cast a Clan Stele that was ninety-nine Zhang in size, with the names of the myriad of tribes belonging under the Iron Hoof Tribe branded upon it.

Upon considering this, Xiao Chen resolutely decided to try his luck. Earth Core Stone Marrow, listed within the thousand-rank of the Great Wasteland Ten Thousand Spirits List, was originally something that one could only come across by chance. Coupled with its relationship with the elusive fortune, even a Top Battle Domain or Marquis Battle Division wouldn’t be able to resist such a temptation.

"Summon!"

Xiao Chen underwent a sudden change, as his body was enveloped by a wave of expansive, magnificent momentum, an imposing aura bursting forth from within him. Right now, the purple haze that had condensed around him had darkened beyond a pale purple and turned into a deep purple, even containing a hint of a purple and gold color. Only when the fortune reaches its peak, does such a phenomenon appear.

Utilizing the human fortune obtained through the slaughter of exotic beasts alone wouldn’t give rise to such a phenomenon, let alone the fact that a fifth has already been devoured by this little yellow creature. The purple and gold colored fortune which was exuding from him was due to his communication with Siding Ding, the ritual vessel in the tribe.

Ever since the tribe entered the Human Ancient City Ruins, Xiao Chen has been continuously communicating with the remaining Ying Long through Siding Ding. Although it is the human fortune that remained from tens of thousands of years ago, its quality surpasses even that of the finest and unrivaled Marquis of formidable human tribes.

The purple and gold haze was abundant, as if it had descended on Xiao Chen through endless space and time. Now that he has offered his blood to the Siding Ding, even though Xiao Chen hasn’t fully subjugated the residual Ying Long, borrowing a portion of its power was a simple task.

It is a fundamental principle that to receive, one must first give. Xiao Chen naturally understood this basic rule. The purple and gold fortune was of such a high grade that it would be a fatal temptation to the little creature who loves to devour the power of destiny.

"Chirp!"

The little creature that was originally roaming in the Earth Core Stone Marrow hill, let out a cry. The next moment it shot out from inside the hill. Its crystal clear little eyes were filled with longing.

At this moment, the fortune radiating from Xiao Chen was deepening continuously. As Xiao Chen’s fortune became even deeper purple, what was originally mixed with gold became more and more prevalent. The little creature was constantly roaring on the ground.

Buzz buzz!

Xiao Chen’s body was wrapped in purple haze, just like a Purple Gold War God, invisible ripples continuously converged from the void. The air vibrated, and the entire cave had long since turned into a purple sea.

The little creature on the side was getting more and more restless; the purple and gold fortune was a lethal temptation for it. Finally, the little beast’s eyes flashed with a crystal light and it transformed into a yellowish figure. It swiftly darted out and nimbly climbed onto Xiao Chen’s shoulder. It curled up comfortably on his shoulder as if it would never leave again.

Chirp chirp chirp!

Even when Xiao Chen reached out his finger to stroke its body, the little creature only let out a few dissatisfied hums. Its body remained firmly on its shoulder without moving a step.

After a long while, Xiao Chen learned the reason from the mental feedback from the little Pegasus. This exotic beast is the Earth Core Stone Marrow born from the mountain within a radius of thousands of miles. However, by a stroke of luck, it gained a hint of spirituality and transformed into a unique life entity. You could say that the Earth Core Stone Marrow is its discarded shell, and the two entities were originally one.

This little fellow couldn’t resist the immense temptation of fortune. Through Xiao Chen’s deliberate and unintentional revelation that this purple and gold fortune didn’t originate from this place, it finally decided to offer up this entire Earth Core Stone Marrow as an exchange, and decided to follow Xiao Chen and leave.

As a celestial item manifested from the local landscape, anywhere in this vast waste can be considered its home; following Xiao Chen away is simply a change of location. Since it gained spiritual intelligence, it has already changed several residences.

As a spiritual entity birthed from the earth, it can stand undefeated in any place that has land. This is also the reason why it is daring enough to follow Xiao Chen away. If it can’t get the fortune it wants from Xiao Chen, it can escape into the ground at any moment.

Buzz!

When the purple haze dispersed, the small creature that was sprawled on Xiao Chen’s shoulder seemed somewhat reluctant. It scratched Xiao Chen’s neck with its claws, seemingly blaming him for dispersing the fortune that it loved.

Chirp!

With a shriek, the little creature slid down from Xiao Chen’s shoulder and stood before the Hundred-Zhang Pool. The pool was filled to the brim with Earth Core Stone Milk, which was extremely beneficial to cultivators. It was an ultimate divine material that enhanced the physical body, rivaling thousand-year-old spirit medicine.

Just as Xiao Chen was wondering how to take away the pool full of Earth Core Stone Milk, he saw the little creature open its mouth to the pool. The pool, which was originally Hundred-Zhang in size, started to shrink gradually until it eventually disappeared into its mouth, leaving behind an open space.
