Chapter 606: Chapter 592: Eight Steps to Heaven, Return to the Tribe!_1

Dressed in a purple beast-skin skirt, the little girl looked like a mini princess. Free from the torment of her innate medicine bone’s medicine fire, after these days of comfort, Zi Yuan, the child, finally showed her true nature.

"Yuan’er, why are you visiting so early?"

Xiao Chen, who happened to have taken an apprentice, couldn’t find the demeanor of a master for a moment. The well-crafted little girl was extremely lovable from the start, tempting him to hardly resist her. He tried to maintain his stern figure as a tutor, exerting his authority, and spoke lightly to the little girl.

"Master." Perhaps it was because Xiao Chen had relieved the pain that had tormented her for many years, the little girl felt a deep affinity for Xiao Chen, she was not afraid of him; instead, she deftly jumped onto the stone bed, grabbed one of Xiao Chen’s arms with her two small hands, and began to shake it.

"Master, didn’t you say you were going to take Yuan’er back to the Gu Yuan Tribe? Yuan’er came to ask Master when we will be leaving."

The little girl swayed Xiao Chen’s arm, her voice was soft and pleading, causing the stern persona that Xiao Chen had try hard to put on to dissolve.

He gently patted Zi Yuan’s head, which greatly displeased her. Subsequently, Xiao Chen took her small hand and led her out of the stone house.

"Greetings to the Venerable."

Outside the stone house, Zi Yuan’s father, Wan Tianxing, was no longer as cheerful as he had been a few days ago; instead, he seemed rather restrained. Seeing Xiao Chen come out, he bowed slightly and greeted him.

Although he didn’t see it with his own eyes, the news of Xiao Chen killing the Ice Frost Venerable and forcing the Heavenly Lake Ancestor to beg for mercy had already spread throughout the Border Wasteland City. When he heard the news, Wan Tianxing was shocked at first, then he was overjoyed. He had originally misjudged Xiao Chen to be a disciple of Medicine King, and now his martial arts skills have advanced to the level of a Venerable.

In the Border Wasteland Region, reaching the Venerable level is considered as the absolute pinnacle of existence. His daughter being accepted as a disciple by a Venerable was a great fortune for all warriors of the Border Wasteland Region.

"Brother Wan, there’s no need to be so formal. Since I’m Zi Yuan’s master, we better call each other brothers."

Xiao Chen saw Wan Tianxing’s actions, and although he had reminded him several times since he returned the day before, Wan Tianxing still acted this way, which left Xiao Chen helpless.

"Today, I plan to return to the Gu Yuan Tribe. But once we leave the Border Wasteland City, Brother Wan, please wait for me outside the city with Zi Yuan. I still have some things to handle."

Xiao Chen handed Zi Yuan over to Wan Tianxing and told him of his plans.

"Good! I will wait for Master Xiao with Yuan’er at Chaotic Stone Slope, thirty miles outside the city."

Outside the Border Wasteland City Gate.

Watching Wan Tianxing lead Zi Yuan away, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated, changed his direction, and headed deep into the Desolate Ancient Forest. His reason for sending Wan Tianxing away was that he needed to let the Heavenly Horse out from the Mountain and River Seal World.

Ever since he had refined the remains of the Heavenly Horse’s parents from the Secret Realm, it had entered a state of cultivation. It wasn’t until after he killed the Ice Frost Venerable the day before that he sensed the Heavenly Horse had awakened.

After entering the Desolate Mountain Forest, Xiao Chen’s figure disappeared into the depth of the ancient forest, then vanished into thin air, entering the Mountain and River Seal World.

Roar!

A cry, like a dragon’s roar or a tiger’s roar, sounded in the Seal World.

The moment Xiao Chen appeared in the Mountain and River Seal World, a golden figure lunged at him. Its huge golden skull bumped into his chest, and Xiao Chen was knocked back more than ten steps by this golden figure.

Roar! Roar!

Amidst the dragon’s roar, Xiao Chen felt the little Heavenly Horse’s excitement. It was only when Xiao Chen came around that he realized the Heavenly Horse had changed greatly.

Magnificent!

That was Xiao Chen’s first impression. Its golden body, originally with two golden dragon horns on its head, had turned purple and gold, and were more twisted and imposing. The once pair of golden wings had now turned into two pairs, shining brightly, each feather shimmering like a golden divine sword, emanating a cold gleam.

Its dragon-like aura was even more abundant. The Heavenly Horse’s parents were at the level of a four-star Sky Sprinter. If it weren’t for fortuitous circumstances, after the little Heavenly Horse ascended to the level of a four-star Sky Sprinter, its inherited bloodline would be exhausted.

However, Xiao Chen could sense the intense ancestral blood deep within the Heavenly Horse’s body emitting a faint aura of majesty. This was no longer the bloodline of a four-star Sky Sprinter. After the little Heavenly Horse had refined the remains of the five-star Heavenly Horse, its ancestral bloodline began transforming towards the five-star level.

The benefits the little Heavenly Horse received after refining the remains of the five-star Sky Pursuer were not just these. After all, it takes time for the bloodline to settle. The most direct benefit was that the little Heavenly Horse’s strength had reached the peak level of a three-star, with three golden stars revolving at its brow. Beside the three golden stars, a cloud of golden light was condensing.

The only thing that hadn’t changed were the large golden eyes of the Heavenly Horse, still emanating an air of playfulness. As Xiao Chen gently stroked the golden dragon horns, the Heavenly Horse’s large golden eyes shimmered.

Roar!

With a roar, the Pegasus knocked Xiao Chen’s body away again. The golden hooves hovered above Xiao Chen’s head, ready to stomp down.

Xiao Chen, who had recovered from the surprise, extended his hefty hand towards the descending golden hooves, wishing to teach the creature a lesson.

"Huh."

Suddenly, Xiao Chen found that the space where he currently was seemed to be somewhat constrained. His combat Qi surged, breaking the confinement and he retreated backwards.

Thud!

However, with an incredibly intricate stride, the Pegasus’ other hoof followed Xiao Chen’s retreat and stomped down. Space was confined once again, and Xiao Chen felt that this confinement was several times stronger than the previous one.

Thud!

Although the confinement was powerful, it didn’t affect Xiao Chen significantly. The Pegasus then took a third step and the surrounding space had already solidified like iron.

The degree of spatial confinement on the third step was such that even a newly promoted Venerable Realm warrior, if not vigilant enough, would completely succumb and turn into shreds of bone and blood under the golden hooves.

Roar roar roar!

Seeing that its stride did not cause any damage to Xiao Chen, the Pegasus seemed somewhat discouraged. Witnessing this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

Petting the big head of the Pegasus gently, he comforted, "Little guy, you’re already very strong. Consecutive kicks, pressing step by step, increasing the spatial confinement by several times, even a Venerable Realm fighter would fall under your hooves if he is not careful."

Roar roar roar!

Though its strength had greatly increased, in terms of age, the Pegasus was yet a youngling. After being comforted by Xiao Chen, it became lively and playful again in a short while.

"Roar roar roar!"

A tremble in his soul, and Xiao Chen understood the nature of the Pegasus’s strides.

Tread the Sky in Eight Steps!

This exclusive technique belonged to the Pegasus clan. The Pegasus, after refining the remains of the five-star Star Chaser Colt, not only refined its origin but also revealed this technique from the depths of its bloodline.

Tread the Sky in Eight Steps is a powerful attack technique inherent to the Pegasus clan. Not all Pegasus have the inheritance of such a power. Only those whose bloodline reaches a certain concentration will be endowed with this bloodline inheritance. Each of the eight steps can shatter the void and cause the sky and earth to crumble. With the Pegasus’s current realm, it could only tread three steps.

"Master," Zi Yuan called out to Xiao Chen sweetly.

"Brother Wan, let’s go. Let’s head back to the Gu Yuan Tribe."

Wan Tianxing used a three-star Wind Spirit Pigeon as his means of transportation. But after seeing the Pegasus, the wind spirit pigeon’s wings were drooping; if the Pegasus hadn’t repressed its presence it would already be groveling on the ground.

After advancing to the Venerable Realm, traversing the Desolate Mountain Forest became a lot easier for Xiao Chen. No longer needing to dodge certain dangerous areas, they directed their course to the Border Wasteland Region in the southwest. However, they still had to avoid some extremely perilous territories.

Within just five days, Xiao Chen had led Wan Tianxing and his daughter over the Ancient Mountains separating the Giant Stone Valley from the Dragon Fall Territory.

The current territory of the Gu Yuan tribe spans across the Giant Stone Valley and Dragon Fall Ridge, both vast regions. On this immense land, more than sixteen hundred lower-class human tribes consider the Gu Yuan Tribe as venerated.

Gu Yuan Mountain City.

In thousands of miles of ancient mountains that encircle it, a city that spans a hundred miles is nestled amidst the ringing purple aura and the rolling purple clouds. Dense blood Qi permeates the whole city. Countless warriors are flowing in and out of the city, appearing in the Desolate Mountain Forest.

The thousands of miles of mountain forests outside the city, over time, have gradually become nourished by the great fortune of the Gu Yuan tribe. The number of old spiritual roots of medicinal plants there has gradually increased. Coupled with several powerful ferocious beasts that have been killed by the tribe’s warriors, only a few weaker beasts remain, the strongest among them not more than two stars realm.

As a result, these thousands of miles of mountain forests have become a trial ground for some low-powered young warriors in the tribe. The tribe has already divided these thousands of miles of forests into several different territories. Based on the strength of the beasts they have exhibited, warriors of the tribe can enter a certain territory according to their strength, hunt ferocious beasts, and hone their fighting techniques.

The daily consumption of Blood Food by the currently more than one million people of the Gu Yuan tribe mostly comes from Luo Long Mountain Range, hundreds of miles to the west. After all, Luo Long Mountain Range is vast and immense. Even if the Gu Yuan Tribe expands by dozens of times in the future, it could still suffice for the daily needs of the tribesfolk.

"Master, is that your tribe?"

Sitting on the Pegasus, Zi Yuan blinked her eyes and pointed at the city enveloped by a thick purple aura, and asked.
