Chapter 531: Chapter 517: Five-Year Development, The Running Tree!_1

Five years later.

Time flies beyond measure in the Desolate Land.

In the dawn light, the ancient, continuous mountains were shrouded in a hazy purple aura. The whole mountain range pulsed with a profound vitality. Countless streaks of rosy lights shone, being nourished by years, it was teeming with life. Ancient herbs of some age could be seen everywhere on the edge of the mountains.

Surrounded by mountains, a mountain city was misted with a thick purple aura. Amid the dense aura, spiritual serpents danced. The entire tribe was surrounded by a rich spirit of heaven and earth.

At the pinnacle of the ancient mountain in the heart of the tribe, Xiao Chen stands with his hands behind his back. Five years have passed, his countenance remains the same, but the aura on him has become deeper.

Overlooking the mountain city, it was bustling with activities, a wave of fervor brewing, and within half an hour, tens of thousands of people were coming and going, each of these war soldiers charging toward the Desolate Ancient Forest.

Five years have passed since the Gu Yuan Tribe’s casting of the destiny tribe. The number of tribesmen in the Gu Yuan Tribe has now reached 1.2 million, and this is a result of Xiao Chen restricting the increase of tribesmen in the tribe.

"Aah...."

In the tribe, a clear cry of a newborn resounded. A newborn had descended upon the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Five years have allowed the tribe’s people to fuse and intermingle, with more and more babies being born, the inheritance of bloodlines has broken the barriers between the tribesmen.

In the past five years, the war masters of the Gu Yuan Tribe have not remained idle. Under Xiao Chen’s command, together with various vassal tribes, they have completely cleared out the foreign races hiding in the dangerous mountains and passes of Dragon Fall Territory.

So much so that in the recent one or two years, the foreign tribes have practically vanished from the Dragon Fall Territory. Under the peaceful environment, the many tribes of the entire territory have developed rapidly.

Compared to five years ago, the strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe has undergone earth-shattering changes. The fusion among the tribesmen has shattered the barriers of bloodlines, stabilizing the tribe gradually, and the tribe’s development has made great strides.

The current Xiao Chen has crossed the Thunderfire Tribulation, breaking through two Heavenly Tribulations and reaching the initial stage of the fifth heaven of the Towering Realm. This is thanks to his cultivation of the Golden Battle Body in the purple-gold battle body section of the Heavy Tower Roll, under the abundant supply of resources in the tribe, the nine levels of the Golden Battle Body have been cultivated to the fifth level.

As a result, the Bronze Battle Body has also transformed into the Golden Battle Body, with the strength of the Golden Battle Body of the Five Heavy Heavens reaching a massive fifty thousand jun, and the defense is tens of times stronger than the Bronze Battle Body. The height of the War Body has also reached an astonishing fifty zhang.

Not only that, but the Killing Spear, which was originally the Martial Arts God Technique of the first heaven, has integrated all the peak levels of the Slaughter Essence that he has comprehended into it.

The Bronze Battle Body, the Martial Arts God Technique of the Two Heavy Heaven of the Towering Realm, evolved into the Golden Battle Body after practicing the Golden Battle Body, and its defensive power rose sharply.

The Martial Arts God Technique of the third Heavy Heaven of the Towering Realm is Xiao Chen’s comprehension of one of the Five Elements, Fire. It condenses into a Fire-type Martial Arts God Technique, the Spear of Flames.

The Martial Arts God Technique of the four Heavy Heaven of the Towering Realm was formed when Xiao Chen absorbed a strand of Thunderforce into his body while crossing the fourth Heaven Thunderfire Tribulation. It condensed into the Spear of Thunderfire. However, this technique is still at an elementary stage and needs Xiao Chen to continue to comprehend it.

As for the other warriors in the tribe, Mu Qing and Shi Ya, with the double boost of luck, have now reached the peak of the third heaven of the Towering Realm. Xue Sha and Nianhua are at the peak cultivation of the second heaven of the Towering Realm, and Grandmother Hua is at the peak cultivation of the first heaven of the Towering Realm.

Not to mention, Ding Shan, Xiao Bangtu, and Mu Wu Ya, and the five brothers of Qiu Jia, in these five years, have successively overcome the Heavenly Tribulation of the Towering Realm and have become the great Towering Realm warriors among the tribe. Among them, Qiu Hu, the eldest of the Qiu Jia brothers, has the strongest strength and has stayed the longest in the tribulation process. He has reached the late stage realm of the first heaven in the Towering Realm.

The three grand elders of the tribe have now reached the limit of Blood Refining cultivation and are expected to reach the Towering Realm. Iron Wen, Huang Liang, Xiao Lin, Lin Yue, Meng Yue, Que Feng, Xiao Long, Xue Li, Lin Cai Er, and others who were originally thought to have progressed too fast and have an unstable foundation have all communicated with the twelve heavenly meridians, reaching Circulation Perfection.

The number of war masters in the tribe has increased to five. Besides the original war master composed of the original tribesmen of the Gu Yuan Tribe, which remained unchanged, Ding Shan continued to serve as the Ten-Thousand Men Leader as a great Towering Realm Warrior. Xiao Bangtu and Mu Wu Ya were promoted to the Towering Realm, resigned from their positions as Ten-Thousand Men Leaders, and became the supreme elders of the tribe.

Those who succeeded Xiao Bangtu and Mu Wu Ya were Lin Yue and Meng Yue. As for the newly formed other two Ten-Thousand Men Leaders, they were served by Xiao Long and Que Feng.

Compared to the Pillars of Flow in the tribe’s Towering Martial Artists, in these five years, the Gu Yuan tribe’s Thousand-Men Leaders of the Blood Refining Realm have reached nearly a thousand. Although most of them are in the early stage, all the Thousand-Men Leaders in the War Masters, who hold substantial power, are in the middle and late stages of the Blood Refining Realm and have even reached the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm.

Of course, the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe does not suppress the development of the various vassal Battle Divisions under its command. Xiao Chen didn’t think highly of such matters.

The annual Good Exchange Convention has become a custom. Every year, the Gu Yuan Tribe would take out a large number of Martial Arts Great Pills, and they exchange a lot of resources from various tribes.

Compared to the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe, various vassal Battle Divisions are also in rapid development. They got large numbers of Martial Arts Pills from the Gu Yuan Tribe, and the number of Blood Refining Realm Martial Artists in these Vassal Battle Divisions are continuously increasing, it is twice of what it used to be five years ago.

It could be said that the Gu Yuan Tribe’s strength has already surpassed that of a middle-class Battle Division, enough to stand side by side with the high-class ones. The enhancement of their power is a representation of their influence’s growth.

The territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe has now expanded beyond Dragon Fall Territory and spread towards the Giant Stone Valley. Half the Desolate Mountain Forest next to Dragon Fall Territory has become the territory under the Gu Yuan Tribe’s control.

By supporting some independent tribes, the Gu Yuan Tribe has established tribes and expanded territories in areas where tribes live near Dragon Fall Territory. These tribes have become vassals of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Of course, this has greatly triggered the resistance of the Iron Hoof Battle Division. Two years ago, Qin Peiyong, the head of the Iron Hoof Tribe, came to confront them but was no match for Xiao Chen and left in disgrace. Since then, he has adopted a passive stance towards the Gu Yuan Tribe’s territorial expansion towards the Giant Stone Valley.

Moreover, he issued an imperial command to relocate some tribes further away from Dragon Fall Territory out of the Giant Stone Valley, trying to cut off the Gu Yuan’s Tribe resources and confine them to a deserted Great Wasteland.

It is worth mentioning that in the course of five years, with the help of the craftsmen of the God Weapon Hall as well as the Casting Soldier Remnant Clan, they finally understood the incomplete method of casting Spirit Weapons and managed to forge lower-grade spirit tools. Although these were ordinary ones among the lower-grade spirit tools, they still solved the problem of newly advanced Towering Realm Warriors not having spirit tools.

As for the Heaven Grade Void Battleship in the tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe has been trying its best to collect spirit materials over the past five years, but it still couldn’t meet the consumption of the warship. Even a fraction of its broken hull requires an almost bottomless amount of spirit materials to repair.

Thankfully, through five years of intermittent repairs, combined with a large amount of notes on Void Battleships obtained from the Dragon Fall lineage, the craftsmen of the tribe have almost completely repaired the massive holes on the exterior of the Void Battleship.

After gazing down at the Tribal Mountain City for a while, Xiao Chen flashed back into Blue Stone Garden.

"Brother Xiao!"

"Husband!"

As soon as he entered the Blue Stone Garden, two beautiful shadows called out. Two years ago, Xiao Chen was married to Mu Qing, and under her suggestion, he also welcomed Nianhua as his wife. Nianhua was once again referred to as Madam, but the meaning this time was different.

Blue Stone Garden has become the dwelling place for the three of them. The two young exotic animals they originally had, have already settled down in the tribe.

With five years of time and abundant resources from the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Blue-eyed Suanni and the Dragon Blood Turtle have both become two-star beasts. Even so, compared to the beasts’ long lifespan, they are still in their infancy.

The Blue-eyed Suanni may have inherited its mother’s Primordial Blood Essence, which distinguishes it from its own kind. Its fur was golden yellow, showing signs of reversion to its ancestry due to the thick bloodline of the Golden Crimson Flame Lion.

Among the two young creatures, the Blue-eyed Suanni has grown to about ten feet in size, while the Dragon Blood Turtle, which has the bloodline of dragons and the unique Dragon’s Origin Blood bestowed by the sky horse, has grown to the size of a millstone.

The two young creatures, one being fond of fire and the other water, have taken up residences near the elements they prefer. The Blue-eyed Suanni has moved to live beneath the volcano where the sky horse resides and inevitably became the sky horse’s subordinate. As for the Dragon Blood Turtle, it chose to live in a lake in the tribe that spans several miles. Even from afar, it could not avoid becoming a subordinate to the sky horse.

Xiao Chen had just started talking to his two wives when the Grand Elder Tie Wen and Huang Liang from Dark Guard Hall appeared in the Blue Stone Garden.

"The two of you coming together, has something happened to the tribe?"

Seeing the two Grand Elders, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but ask. After five years of development, the seven major halls have firmly controlled the whole tribe.

"No significant incidents have occurred in the tribe. However, we just received a secret report from Elder Hua, who is stationed at the Giant Stone Valley!"

Tie Wen and Huang Liang both greeted the trio before starting the conversation. After all, the status of Mu Qing and Nianhua has changed. Some necessary etiquettes needed to be observed.

"Giant Stone Valley?"

On hearing this, Xiao Chen furrowed his brows. He was not worried about Dragon Fall Territory, which was now tightly controlled by the Gu Yuan Tribe. Could something unexpected have happened in the Giant Stone Valley?

Dark Guard Hall, as the organisation responsible for investigating external threats and securing internal developments of the Gu Yuan Tribe, has contributed significantly. Over the past five years, any concealed risks within the tribe were secretly eliminated by Dark Guard Hall.

As the head of Dark Guard Hall, Huang Liang was the first to receive Elder Hua’s secret report. Hence, after reporting it to the Grand Elder, he hurriedly reported it to Xiao Chen.

"What?! You’re saying that Elder Hua reported a tree capable of running is advancing towards Giant Stone Valley!"
