Chapter 414: Chapter 401: New City Established!_1

In the morning light, the purple qi arrives from the east, a time when the Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy is at its strongest. Countless ancient trees and spirit medicines are absorbing the Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth, drawing in the purple energy contained within the sunlight.

The Gu Yuan Mountain Range, stretching thousands of miles in area, is teeming with ancient mountains, undulating endlessly. The newly built tribal city lies half-encircled amidst it. In the depth of the mountain range, obscured by white fog and the rising morning glow, the murmur of distant dangers echoes from time to time. After a night of silence, a new hunt begins anew.

Unlike the bloody battles within the Wild Mountain Range, the Gu Yuan Tribe has stopped all labor for the day. Each tribe member dons a new beast robe, gathering at the foot of a hundred-Zhang ancient mountain located in the center of the tribe.

In front of them is a towering platform, reaching a height of ninety-five Zhangs. Atop the five levels of this platform, apart from the highest point where the sacrificial King’s Cauldron stood alone, the remaining lower levels supported an aggregate of thirty black iron cauldrons, each engulfed in roaring flames.

Mixed with the scent of blood, a unique fragrance continuously emanates from the cauldrons. Inside the thirty-six cauldrons were the blood plasma of thousands of ferocious beasts, including the treasured blood of thirty-six two-star beasts. After several days and nights of roasting in the fierce fire, inside these enormous black cauldrons, a translucent jelly-like substance had been dissolved, emitting a burst of unique fragrance.

At the top tier of the five-tiered platform, beneath the enormous ceremonial King’s Cauldron, stood two figures against the wind. One was Xiao Chen, the alien leader of the Gu Yuan Tribe, and the other was the Grand Elder of the tribe.

The other Blood Refining Realm warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe stood in order on the lower tier of the stone platform.

As the morning light bathed the sacrificial altar, Xiao Chen at the top blinked with resolve and finally said, "Grand Elder, let’s begin!"

"Yes, sir!"

At the command of Xiao Chen, the Grand Elder Tie Wen stood to attention beside him, unfurled the bronze script he had been holding, and began to recite aloud.

"As human ancestors pioneered the Great Wasteland and drove out the hundred clans, they sowed the seeds of the human tribes that have flourished throughout the wilderness from ancient times. Formed through the loyal and brave contributions of generations of ancestors, they’ve carried on an unbroken heritage for countless years. Born in the Desolate Wilds, benefitting from the treacherous mountains and rivers, they’ve built city walls across the barren land, giving birth to human tribes. Using the mountain as leverage and harnessing the danger of the land, they’ve secured the safety of the tribe!"

Grand Elder Tie Wen, clad in black battle armor, exuded a profound aura. The bronze scroll he held, crafted of cast bronze, opened to a full length of three feet. It was a document to announce the completion of the tribe’s new city to its members.

For countless eras, although the desolate years of the wilds have become unfathomably distant to the human tribes of the Great Wasteland, the Human World continues to be fraught with danger. Not only are savage beasts rampantly unscrupulous, but countless alien races are lurking in the mountains, rivers, and even secret locations, ancient lands, or relics. The human tribes, if slightly careless, will face the risk of annihilation. Therefore, humans have built cities in strategically important and difficult terrains for self-defense.

"Today, our Gu Yuan Tribe, after abandoning our ancestral land and leaving our old homes, after traversing ten thousand miles of wilderness during migration, we’ve finally found a treasure island to rebuild our tribe. We’ve been able to reestablish ancestral halls for ancestor worship, continuing the cultural heritage of the ancient human cities within the Desolate Wilds. However, as time passes, the ancient cities have vanished and veterans are hard to find. Thus, we’ve built a new city, where our tribe members can find shelter from wind and rain, and from the outside, resist the brutal enemies of the Desolate Wilds!"

As he spoke, Tie Wen paused, his eyes sweeping over the numerous tribe members below him. At this moment, all two hundred thousand members of the Gu Yuan Tribe projected their gaze upon the high platform. Each tribe member’s eyes were filled with an unspoken myriad of emotions. The children, either nestled in the arms of their mothers or riding high on the shoulders of the robust men, were all gaily laughing and dancing.

They understood that at this moment, they, alongside their families, after abandoning their original homes and migrating tens of thousands of miles away, had finally found a place to settle and to build their lives anew.

"Now that the Gu Yuan New City is established, we will follow the law of our ancestors and sincerely announce to Heaven and Earth’s mountains and rivers, spiritual beings, and the two hundred thousand people of the Gu Yuan Tribe - may the Gu Yuan Tribe continue to pass down our sacred flame throughout the generations!"

"Pass down the sacred flame, never to cease throughout the generations!"

"Pass down the sacred flame, never to cease throughout the generations!"

"Pass down the sacred flame, never to cease throughout the generations!"

When the final words of the Grand Elder Tie Wen echoed out, everyone in the Gu Yuan Tribe began to shout hysterically. In the entire mountain wall, every tribe member of the Gu Yuan Tribe was roaring from the bottom of their hearts. At this moment, their battle spirits were boiling. Despite some being women, elders, and children, possessing only weak cultivation or even not practicing martial arts, the aura they exuded was never inferior in any way.

Whoosh!

At this moment, every member of the Gu Yuan Tribe exuded an invisible flow of energy, converging into the sky above.

Hum, hum, hum!

Eventually, over the Gu Yuan Tribe, a pillar of ethereal fate energy burst forth. This explosion of ethereal energy emitted a faint purple hue, its elegant purple haze radiating a vigorous vitality.

"Insert the bronze token into the cauldron to nourish our fate!"

At this moment, a grand voice seemingly echoed from the horizon, piercing through the roars of hundreds of thousands of people.

"Yes, sir!"

The next moment, Grand Elder Tie Wen bowed again in response. The bronze token in his hand transformed into a streak of light, falling into the King Cauldron.

Roar, roar, roar!

A deafening dragon roar sounded, echoing through thousands of miles of forests.

Boom, boom, boom!

The earth shook, the hundred-zhang ancient mountain trembled incessantly. A purple and gold figure emerged from the top of the old mountain, piercing through the mountain and soaring towards the sky vault. As it tumbled in the sky, it integrated with the momentum aggregated by hundreds of thousands of Gu Yuan Tribe members.

Hum!

From the mouth of the King Cauldron, a streak of purple light blasted into the vault of heaven, seemingly intending to punch a hole through it.

Summoned by the ethereal energy of all members of Gu Yuan Tribe, the fate dragon Ying Long, which had lain dormant for tens of thousands of years at the bottom of the earth, was finally called upon before the tribe’s establishment.

The sky over the Gu Yuan Tribe was now filled with a purple mist. In the dozens of feet thick pillar of ethereal energy, a thick purple-gold energy was entwined, the very ethereal fate dragon, which seemed about to fully integrate with it in no time.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen also revealed a pleased expression. Originally, he thought it would take a great cost to awaken the fate dragon Ying Long that had been buried underground for tens of thousands of years. Yet, under the collective will of hundreds of thousands of tribesmen, they had actually managed to awaken it, thus saving some trouble for the upcoming tribal establishment ceremony in three days.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen’s palm sliced across his chest like a blade. A cut appeared on his chest, and heated blood from his heart gushed out, falling onto the King Cauldron, and vanished inside in the blink of an eye. His face turned slightly pale, but he remained composed.

"Fate Dragon Ying Long, it’s time you returned to your rightful place!"

Roar!

The wind follows the tiger, the cloud follows the dragon. The dragon is a divine beast that can change into endless forms. Upon Xiao Chen’s stern shout, the fate dragon Ying Long, originally entwined around the pillar of ethereal fate, let out another dragon roar. It rolled up the ethereal fate pillar dozens of feet thick, plunging it into the King Cauldron.
