Chapter 516: Chapter 502: Return to the Valley, Appearance of Treasure Gathering Pavilion!_1

The next moment, the Heavenly Horse stepped through empty air, transforming into a streak of golden light, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye, leaving countless warriors stupefied!

High in the Void, a hint of deep blue flashed within the Ice Frost Venerable’s gaze. As he watched Xiao Chen ride off into the distance, he realized he had misjudged this situation. The Heavenly Horse that everyone ignored was a Cloud Stepper- a steed on par with a three-star creature. Even his Venerable strength was far from comparable.

Unless he tore through the Void, traversed through its turbulence, he would be far behind. Although he had just entered the status of a Venerable, he lacked the strength to tear the Void and traverse through its chaos. The slightest mistake could get him ripped apart, he dared not take that risk.

Crack!

The Frozen Killing Spear at his side, which had Xiao Chen encased in ice, shattered to pieces. However, the very next moment, a black as ink aura, reminiscent of bone gnawing maggots, entwined around the Ice Frost Venerable.

"What is this?"

"It’s Killing Essence!"

In an instant, the Ice Frost Venerable’s pupils contracted sharply.

"It must be a high understanding of the Killing Essence achieved by him!"

After annihilating the killing aura that crawled onto him, the Ice Frost Venerable’s face turned livid. He realized his intention to kill Xiao Chen today might have been too optimistic. Now that Xiao had escaped, he dreaded the troubles that might come in the future.

"Hmph!"

Soon, the Ice Frost Venerable snorted coldly. His icy eyes swept over the surrounding martial artists. They all shivered uncontrollably under his gaze, guessing if he was about to vent his frustration of Xiao Chen’s escape on them.

Fortunately, the Ice Frost Venerable managed to maintain his rationality amidst his rage. He soon stopped paying attention to these martial artists and flew towards Border Wasteland City, leaving those present in a state of shock.

In the depths of the Great Wasteland.

This was a continuous Desolate Ancient Forest, with towering ancient trees and vines twisted like pythons. From the depths of the ancient forest, the roar of ferocious beasts echoed from time to time.

In the primal Great Wasteland, where the ancient trees resembled entwined dragons, the ruler of this ten thousand mile radius land was a three-star Flame Leopard. But at this moment, it was already a carcass.

Using the residual aura of the Flame Leopard, this land within a radius of ten thousand miles was safe for now. Xiao Chen’s figure was hidden in a temporary cave carved out of an Ancient Mountain, with the Heavenly Horse guarding it.

Phew!

Green Flames were constantly rising above Xiao Chen’s figure, boiling to a sublime heat- then disappeared for a while. A pulse of cold spread throughout the cave synonymous with the Frost Combat Qi imparted by the Venerable onto Xiao Chen.

As a mighty Venerable, his Frost Combat Qi was incredibly pure, wrapping itself around Xiao Chen’s flesh, blood, and bones like a parasite.

Luckily, only a strand of it had infiltrated his body. Otherwise, even if Xiao Chen had escaped his killer move, he would still be frozen into an ice statue.

The alternating green and white lights around Xiao Chen had even condensed a layer of white frost on his eyebrows. This overwhelming cold Qi within his body was too domineering. It was purer than his Combat Qi, making it challenging to drive out.

Half a day later

The intricate changes between green and white on Xiao Chen’s body ceased. A green flame puffed up outside his body. His skin emitted an immortal copper glow, his body shimmering with the freshness of jade. The original rampage of the frost in his body was finally suppressed completely.

Boom Boom Boom!

Qi of warfare flowed like a tide within his Heavenly Meridians, reminiscent of thunder. They seeped into every limb, nourishing the frozen flesh and blood, making them rejuvenate.

Eventually, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a mouthful of cold air but didn’t stand up. Instead, he stretched out his right hand where a flicker of translucence was visible.

The flicker gradually grew into a half-fist sized crystal clear sphere exuding an incredible cold. As soon as the crystal sphere appeared, a thin layer of ice formed in the cave, which was immediately evaporated by the torrid flame of the Heavenly Horse.

This crystal was the Cold Qi that Xiao Chen had refined out of his body. He could only sigh at the strength of the Venerable. Although his current strength was of the three-fold sky, only three realms away from the six-fold sky of a Venerable, the gap between them was as vast as a sea.

Moreover, there’s the existence of Thunderfire Tribulation and Heavenly Fire Tribulation. Without experiencing the baptism of the tribulation fire, there’s still so much lacking! Roar!

Seeing Xiao Chen waking up, Little Tianma let out a low roar. He gently patted the Golden head of Tianma. During their trip to the Border Wasteland City, Tianma had made significant contributions. Not to mention whether the Dragon Blood Turtle eggs that they acquired based on Little Tianma’s hints would hatch, or if the blueprint of the Void Battleship would have any use; just when Ice Frost Venerable acted, he took Xiao Chen away. This alone could be counted as a major achievement!

Ten days later.

Boom!

On the edge of an ancient mountain, thunder echoed below. A huge Black Scale Giant Python was blasted out, continuously severing the ancient trees behind it in half. Giant black scales fell onto the wilderness, and fresh blood dyed the earth red. It took several breaths before the three-star Black Scale Giant Python fell silent.

In ten days, Xiao Chen had crossed hundreds of thousands of miles in the Great Wasteland. They were not far from the territory of the Iron Hoof War Division. When bypassing the edge of this ancient mountain, they were attacked by the three-star Black Scale Giant Python. However, the python overestimated its strength. At this moment, it was already dead!

This wilderness was like a natural graveyard. Even though Tianma broke through the three-star level and made great progress in strength, powerful beasts were frequently seen in the depths of this Desolate Ancient Forest. There were even five-star beasts present.

Therefore, the man and the horse didn’t dare to create any sort of disturbance. Instead, they detoured around some ancient mountains and dense forests. At this point, they were less than five days away from the Giant Stone Valley. The closer they got to the jurisdiction of the Iron Hoof War Division, the fewer high-level beasts they encountered. Hence, Xiao Chen was able to speed up his journey.

...

In the territory of the current Iron Hoof War Division, including the most remote tribes, after nearly two months of spreading, everyone knew that a new Battle Division had risen beside them. Its strength was no less than their sovereign Battle Division, the Iron Hoof War Division.

The rising Battle Division was the Ancient Yuan Battle Division, which was already quite famous in the Giant Stone Valley. They used to challenge the prestige of the high ranked Battle Divisions with the strength of a low ranked Battle Division. Moreover, without much discussion, they broke away from the rule of the Iron Hoof War Division.

From the look of it now, it was clear that the Ancient Yuan Battle Division had been planning this. They had obviously prepared in advance. Now, the Battle Division had been promoted to middle-ranked. They sat parallel with the Iron Hoof War Division and treated each other with equal respect.

The rise of a new Battle Division and its leader even marched to the door and defeated two Massive Tower Realm Wu Experts of the Iron Hoof War Division. These were their tribal chief and the grand elder. They forced the Iron Hoof War Division to bow their heads, give up Tie Mo, the main culprit who had aroused the conflict between the two divisions, and then decapitated him in front of all the warriors in Iron Hoof City. How triumphant they felt!

Inside Duanmu City.

Inside a five-story tower that was about thirty feet high, the sounds of people were bustling. Below the eaves of the stone tower, the three big characters of ’Treasure Gathering Pavilion’ were full of vigour and strength.

Now in the entire Giant Stone Valley, who didn’t know that this Treasure Elephant Pavilion, which originally belonged to the Treasure Elephant Army, now belonged to the powerful, highly esteemed, middle-ranked Ancient Yuan Battle Division?

The original Treasure Elephant Battle Division, which once dominated the entire Giant Stone Valley and was one of the four dominant tribes, had already become a thing of the past. It had been forgotten by countless warriors and had become a topic of casual talk.

Inside the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, the place was bustling. This trading place, which had just opened for two months, reached its peak of fame after the leader of the Ancient Yuan Battle Division marched to the Iron Hoof Battle Division, and forced the leaders and grand elders of the Iron Hoof Battle Division to bow their heads.

What satisfied many warriors was that the Treasure Gathering Pavilion did not take advantage of its position to bully others. They offered fair prices for casting material mine veins, medicinal herbs, and treasured blood brought by the warriors. There was no attempt to lower the prices at all. As a result, many ranger warriors chose to come to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to barter goods.

The only thing that surprised people was that in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, not only ordinary cultivation resources were traded. They put up a sign and bought various strange and bizarre items. Whether it was ancient books, antiques, or even some unidentified items found in ancient ruins, they accepted them all.

The Treasure Gathering Pavilion was divided into five floors. The first floor was for trading regular items. The second floor was for trading treasures that could help Blood Refining Realm Warriors.

As for the third floor, theoretically, it was for trading treasures that could benefit Towering Realm Warriors. However, the Towering Realm Warriors in the whole Giant Stone Valley could be counted on one hand, and their whereabouts were unpredictable, so it had not been officially opened yet.

The Treasure Gathering Pavilion had just started and was still exploring. It was believed that after a period of operation, after the Ancient Yuan Battle Division had secured sufficient resources and warriors, everything would get back on track.

Neglecting everything else and just referring to the third floor, which was a bartering place for Towering Realm Warriors, although the number of Towering Realm Warriors in the Giant Stone Valley was not high, they needed warriors of equal level to prevent any troubles that would ensure the stability of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. These were things that could only be decided after Xiao Chen’s return.

Tie Wen stood on the second floor of Treasure Gathering Road, looking at the crowd below. These people, from various tribes or roving mendicant warriors, were bringing various resources to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to exchange for Yuan stones. In just two months, most of the estimated 300,000 Yuan stones’ worth of materials left by Xiao Chen had been recovered.

Now, Tie Wen’s strength had reached the peak of the Blood Refining Realm Late Phase under the accumulation of enough elixirs left by Xiao Chen, and half of the fewer than fifty brothers left have broken through the Blood Realm.

Now they do not need to be as cautious as they used to be, hiding their identities. The new Ancient Yuan Battle Division is now famous throughout the Giant Stone Valley, and no one dares to disrespect it. This is all brought about by the promotion of the Ancient Yuan War Division to the middle-ranked tribes.

Not only that, but after Xiao Chen advanced to the Towering Realm, annihilated the Treasure Elephant tribe, and fought the Iron Hoof War Division, those tribes that had once rallied troops to besiege the Ancient Yuan War Division successively brought out the savings of the tribes to apologize at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion!

Not to mention, with their accumulation over hundreds or even a thousands of years, these tribes still had some good things. Tie Wen found several spiritual materials for casting spirit weapons from their apology gifts.
