Chapter 674: Chapter 660: Stable Tribe, Subduing Warrior! _1

Indeed, it must be said that Xiao Chen’s return brought tremendous relief to the many warriors of the Gu Yuan tribe. Over the years, they’ve grown an unimaginable level of trust and faith in him.

This faith was earned through Xiao Chen’s continuous leadership as he navigated the Gu Yuan Tribe through countless dangers. They overcame numerous obstacles, progressed from being a small tribe to a force on par with top-level battle divisions. Remarkably, this journey, which took other tribes thousands of years, was completed in just a few years under Xiao Chen’s leadership.

Xiao Chen briefly recounted his experiences from the past few days. Despite simplifying to the bare minimum, the story still caused a tumult of shock among those present.

A Grandmaster in the seventh layer of the Towering Realm, such a state was so far-fetched that it surpassed the imagination of everyone present. Yet, Xiao Chen survived an attack from such a formidable outsider, illustrating the grave danger involved.

It’s no wonder that the earth’s veins burst open over a hundred miles, transforming the landscape into a sea of magma. This sight induced a tighter grip from both Mu Qing and Nianhua, who were holding each other’s hands, overwhelmed by the tension. The attack by someone from the seventh layer of the Towering Realm was far from being as simple as Xiao Chen portrayed.

With Xiao Chen’s return, the backbone of the Gu Yuan Tribe was back, and it sent waves of excitement throughout the Gu Yuan Tribe Mountain City.

Blue Stone Garden.

"My lord!"

Two worried voices called out simultaneously. Hearing those voices, Xiao Chen, who had been somewhat unsettled, slowly felt a sense of calm.

"Relax, didn’t I return safely?"

"Do you know how worried we were about you?"

Seeing their tear-stained faces, Xiao Chen’s heart softened. He gently patted both Mu Qing and Nianhua’s shoulders, once again trying to soothe them.

"You disappeared without a trace these days. Do you have any idea how hard it was for Qing Er to manage the tribe?"

The three of them leaned on each other, as if trying to sync their hearts.

Buzz!

The next moment, the three of them disappeared from the Blue Stone Garden.

"Where is this, my lord? The vital energy of heaven and earth here is so rich, and there’s even a hint of an ancient aura."

"That spiritual wood is so large, it’s many times bigger than the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood in our tribe!"

In the Cave Heaven Medicine Gardens, the two women were surprised by what they saw. However, they weren’t frightened and hung onto Xiao Chen’s arms out of curiosity, one on each side.

"Although the space here has expanded, with the towering spiritual wood and the ancient mountain waterfall, it still feels familiar."

A moment later, the two women had adapted to the change. Xiao Chen had brought them into the Cave Heaven Medicine Gardens before. Now, although the created world within was larger than before and appeared slightly different, it didn’t surprise them.

"Luli is honored to meet the two Madams!"

As the two women were surveying their surroundings, a green light flashed, and Luli appeared, addressing them.

"Madam?" "Who is this?"

"My name is Luli, I am the eternal spiritual entity of this Cave Heaven World." Luli’s green wings flapped continuously as she hovered in front of Mu Qing and Nianhua.

"Eternal spiritual entity!"

Though they didn’t quite understand what an eternal spiritual entity was, Mu Qing and Nianhua were quickly engaged by Luli and headed towards the Medicine Gardens in the distance. Xiao Chen watched, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, as his wife and Nianhua put their worries behind them. With that, he disappeared, reappearing in the Blue Stone Garden.

Soon after, a purple figure rushed into the Blue Stone Garden. She ran straight for Xiao Chen.

"Master!" Seeing Xiao Chen, the little girl’s lips trembled, looking on the verge of tears.

Xiao Chen gently pinched her cheek and softly asked, "Have you been practicing diligently while your master has been away?"

"Yes, Zi Yuan has been practicing diligently!"

"I greet the Venerable." Following Zi Yuan, Wan Tianxing came in, respectfully bowing towards Xiao Chen.

In front of Xiao Chen, despite there was no discernible aura radiating from his body, Wan Tianxing still felt an overwhelming sense of pressure.

How much time has passed that Xiao Chen’s strength has progressed again within such a short period. However, there was no time for contemplation at this moment, he had to suppress these doubts for now.

"Brother Wan, there is no need for such formality, I haven’t thanked you yet for your assistance a few days ago. I’m deeply grateful to you, Xiao Mou."

As his words fell, a dazzling red light shimmered in Xiao Chen’s palm. A blood ball the size of a fist appeared, the pure essence of blood generated from the Blood Formation.

When Xiao Chen consumed numerous Spirit Medicines, he purposely left behind these blood essence. At the time of breakthrough, there was plenty of Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy in the Cave Heaven World. This made the blood essence seem insignificant and hence was kept aside. But for Wan Tianxing, the blood essence was a great opportunity.

"I see Brother Wan has already reached the peak of the fifth layer of the Towering Realm, Soon, he will take the last step to become a formidable warrior of the Border Wasteland Region. This blood essence is the purest form of energy. Consider it a reward for your help these past few days."

The blood essence Xiao Chen offered was the most abundant piece from three pieces he gained earlier. Even for a warrior like Wan Tianxing, who had reached the completion stage of the fifth layer of the Towering Realm, this would be a significant aid.

However, the biggest challenge to advance to the esteemed sixth layer of the Towering Realm is the spiritual will. This is a massive hurdle, especially for the ranger Wan Tianxing, who lacks the foundation compared to the clan warriors. This gap is established from the cultivation of martial arts techniques and the difference created at the beginning of their Martial Arts Foundation Building.

Take Combat Qi as an example - although it seems to have reached the complete stage, Xiao Chen could still feel a trace of instability within it. This was why he offered the blood essence to Wan Tianxing.

"Then I will gladly accept it!"

Feeling the energy contained within the blood essence, Wan Tianxing was extremely eager. He was very aware of his current condition. As a ranger with limited foundation, he always felt he was only one step away from reaching the revered realm. However, upon trying to make that breakthrough, he found that he was still a thousand miles away.

"Brother Wan, I am sure you have also sensed the impending storm in the Border Wasteland Region these past few days, haven’t you?"

Listening to Xiao Chen’s words, Wan Tianxing nodded. As a ranger, he had the most access to information. Although he couldn’t get any secret information, he could still perceive from multiple sources that a storm was brewing in the Border Wasteland Region.

To his own doubts, Xiao Chen just shook his head. Wan Tianxing understood that he was not yet qualified to know the secrets within, or perhaps because he was a ranger, without a powerful background, or maybe because his strength was still not enough to uncover such secrets.

"Brother Wan, what are your plans for the future?" Xiao Chen’s voice echoed again. However, before he could speak, Xiao Chen continued talking, forcing him to swallow his words.

"I invite Brother Wan to join my Gu Yuan Tribe!"

What!

"Join the Gu Yuan Tribe!"

Ignoring Wan Tianxing’s astonishment, Xiao Chen continued speaking, "Zi Yuan is my disciple, hence you can say that Brother Wan and my Gu Yuan Tribe are already deeply connected."

"Moreover, what I can tell Brother Wan is that very soon, the entire Eastern Wasteland Human Realm will plunge into turmoil. No one can be a lone survivor, especially rangers who face even greater risks during a crisis."

"Join my Gu Yuan Tribe, and I will utilize tribe resources to expedite your promotion to the revered realm!"

"The entire Eastern Wasteland Region will experience turmoil!"

"Join the revered realm!"

These two statements deeply struck Wan Tianxing’s heart. If what Xiao Chen said was true, the Eastern Wasteland would inevitably face a catastrophe. No one could escape it. The promotion to the revered realm had been his ambition for a long time, but due to his limited foundation, he found it hard to advance.

After a long pause, Wan Tianxing looked at his daughter and stared at Xiao Chen’s eyes for a while, then he said, "I, Wan, have been wandering outside for many years and I’m quite weary. If Clan Leader Xiao doesn’t mind, I would like to join the Gu Yuan Tribe and pledge my loyalty!"

"Good!" Xiao Chen nodded. By recruiting Wan Tianxing, a warrior on the verge of entering the revered realm, into the Gu Yuan Clan, he could easily help him make the final step. This was certainly easier than cultivating a revered warrior from scratch.

"Wan Tianxing, pay my respects to the Clan Leader!"

Now that he had joined the Gu Yuan Tribe, the previous way of addressing had to be discarded. Wan Tianxing understood this very well.

Xiao Chen nodded, without any hesitation. He focussed his mind, and spiritual will emanated from between his brows. Before Wan Tianxing could react, it entered his forehead.

Suddenly, Wan Tianxing’s eyes widened, because he found an extremely exquisite text appearing in his sea of souls. It turned out to be a technique for cultivating spirits. His spiritual will had always been his weakness. The defects in Combat Qi could be easily remedied but improving the spirit was very difficult. Without fate, one could be stuck in one place forever, unable to make progress.

"First, cultivate your spirit, then temper your Combat Qi and physical body. The promotion to the revered realm will soon follow!"

Xiao Chen’s words were once again heard by Wan Tianxing. It woke him up from his daze but the shock in his eyes did not fade away.

This technique for cultivating the spirit was an invaluable treasure! It made him realize how wise his decision to join the Gu Yuan Tribe was. If Xiao Chen had published the technique, countless warriors would rush towards it. Even mighty warriors, who were in the revered realm, would vie for it.
