Chapter 693: Chapter 679 Warrior Statistics and Secret Realm Development!_1

Martial Arts Hall, Internal Affairs Hall, Dark Guard Hall, Performing Martial Arts Hall, Divine Weapon Hall, Hundred Herbs Hall.

Many elders cautiously inspected each of these halls, and without exception, they all had associated Secret Realm spaces. These Secret Realms varied in size, with the Secret Realm of the Hundred Herbs Hall spanning hundreds to thousands of miles in diameter.

At this moment, the Spirit Medicine and Spirit Rice spaces in the Hundred Herbs Hall had merged into one at the request of Mu Qing and Nianhua. Half of it was used to cultivate Spirit Rice, and the other half to grow Spirit Medicine. Being enclosed within a Secret Realm, the Spirit Plant Masters and farmers could lend each other a helping hand. As the master, Xiao Chen naturally agreed to merge the two Secret Realms into one.

All the elders were in the Spirit Medicine Secret Realm. Before them stood a volcano of several hundred feet high, with molten gold magma surging unceasingly. In the mouth of the volcano — several thousand feet in diameter — the heat was astonishing, capable of melting metal and rock. Yet, a dozen feet tall golden Spiritual Wood was glistening in the molten magma lake.

"Millennium Volcano!"

Looking at the Flame Lava lake that seemed to be suspended in mid-air, many elders felt that the fiery heat could melt them.

"Master Xiao Lin!" Xiao Chen then softly called out.

Divine Weapon Hall master Xiao Lin bowed in response.

"Master Xiao, arrange for the craftsmen of the Divine Weapon Hall to build separate alchemy rooms around the volcano, while drawing the Earth Fire from the center of the volcano to every pill room."

"Yes!"

This volcano took up several miles in circumference, and besides this Millennium Volcano, there were three other volcanoes of several thousand years immediately adjacent to it. With proper management, it could hold hundreds of pill rooms, or even categorize them into different levels according to the temperature of the magma drawn out, assigned to Alchemists of different ranks.

Similarly, the volcanoes in the Secret Realm of the Divine Weapon Hall can also be used to build varying numbers of weapon casting rooms to forge war and spirit weapons.

Ferocious Beast Secret Realm!

An hour later, Xiao Chen led many warriors into the Ferocious Beast Secret Realm. The Desolate Wilds’ Qi that hit them in the face immediately caused the elders to stumble. The vast earth, spanning tens of thousands of miles in radius, filled them with awe again.

This incomparably vast Secret Realm space was an unmatched treasure for the Gu Yuan Tribe. Xiao Chen had always been leading the Gu Yuan Tribe on campaigns in all directions, transforming them from a small clan to a mighty force that shook the entire Border Wasteland. In the hearts of many elders, Xiao Chen had always been a legendary figure who could bring miracles. But this time, the changes of the Gu Yuan Tribe can be described as earth-shattering.

Each Secret Realm was a treasure. No tribe in the entire Border Wasteland, except for the Human Ancestral Court, owned more than three Secret Realms. However, their Gu Yuan Tribe suddenly acquired more than a dozen Secret Realm spaces. Hundreds or even thousands of years from now, these Secret Realms would undoubtedly form the solid foundation of the Gu Yuan Tribe in the Desolate Wilds.

Moreover, with these Secret Realms, once all of them have been fully developed, the members of the Gu Yuan Tribe could even achieve self-sufficiency.

"This Ferocious Beast Realm is now home to hundreds of three-star ferocious beasts that the Chieftain has captured from the Desolate Wilds. Also, there are several four-star realm beasts, comparable to the human venerables, hibernating here. As for one-star and two-star beasts, they are even more numerous. In the future, the elders can also enter here to refine their battle formations, or even tame these ferocious beasts as their own fighting beasts."

Four-star beasts!

This immediately caused many elders to laugh bitterly. Apart from the few with the strongest powers, the rest would have to make a swift and disorderly retreat when facing formidable three-star beasts, let alone more powerful four-star beasts.

All twelve halls within the tribe had been integrated into Secret Realm spaces by Xiao Chen. However, only ten of them have been named, and the use of the remaining two was yet to be determined.

Half a day later.

Many elders came to the Bronze Tower on the central ancient mountain of the Gu Yuan Tribe, carrying an unending shock. This hundred-foot-tall Bronze Tower has its uppermost hall as the birthplace of weapon souls, and the lowermost level as the Tribal Council Hall.

Moreover, this Bronze Tower had no steps to climb, but required one to fly up from outside. Strictly speaking, this Bronze Tower only had two levels. Apart from the lower level, there was only the level where the weapon souls resided. The tens of feet in between formed a sealed space, which was the core of the whole Bronze Ancient City.

As the Bronze Ancient City had replaced the Mountain City, the entire Gu Yuan Tribe could be said to be completely under Xiao Chen’s control. Qingling was constantly surveying the entire Tribal Mountain City, not as surveillance, and without any effect on the ordinary people of the tribe, but rather as a lookout for external threats to the Gu Yuan Tribe.

"Honorable elders, this is the new layout of our Gu Yuan Tribe. Moreover, the Secret Realm spaces we merged with only recently emerged, and they appear somewhat desolate. Next, we in the Gu Yuan Tribe need to organize these Secret Realms and continuously perfect them."

"Yes!"

"Well, respected elders, we have now successfully eliminated the survivors of the exotic clan, so it’s time for the development phase of our Gu Yuan Tribe. Has the count of warriors in our tribe been gathered by the Grand Elder?"

"Following the instruction of the tribe leader, we have counted all warriors under the age of fifty who are in the late stage of the Bone Tempering Realm, as well as those warriors who are below the Blood Refining Realm, totaling a number of roughly four hundred and thirty thousand. The number of young warriors under the age of twenty who are in the late stage of the Bone Tempering Realm and below the Blood Refining Realm amounts to fifty thousand."

The numbers reported by the Grand Elder did not surprise Xiao Chen. It was in line with his expectations, given that everyone on the Wilderness Land practiced martial arts and cultivated their body. The count represented by the Grand Elder only included males while excluding women, children, and the elderly. However, this also exposed a drawback in the rapid advancement and gathering of tribesmen in the Gu Yuan tribe.

Excluding women, children, and the elderly, the actual fighting strength of the tribe warriors is very weak, with the majority residing in the Bone Tempering Realm. The proportion of warriors in each realm is highly abnormal, there has been a serious disruption in the martial arts hierarchy.

The Four Divine Beast battle formation, which gathers the power of four arrays and requires forty thousand Blood Refining Realm Warriors, as well as the Thousand Faces Blood Sword Formation, which also needs to elicit its full strength, requires a good ten thousand Blood Refining Realm Warriors. As for the Hundred Rings Battlefront Formation battle array of a hundred people, Xiao Chen intends to popularize it among the tribe, enabling all warriors to freely practice this battle formation.

With these calculations, the Gu Yuan Tribe would need to use medicinal herbs to assist at least fifty thousand warriors in advancing to the Blood Refining Realm. Furthermore, this is only a conservative estimate. Xiao Chen estimates that the number of promoted warriors needs to be at least over one hundred thousand to cater to the current situation in the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Luckily, there are several hundred thousand tribesmen as a base. Even though promoting to the Blood Refining Realm using pills to stimulate potential carries risks, given such a large base number of tribesmen, training one hundred thousand Blood Refining Realm Warriors is achievable.

The reason middle-aged warriors and young warriors are counted separately lies in the evaluation of their potential. Can a twenty-year-old Bone Tempering Realm warrior be the same as a fifty-year-old Bone Tempering Realm warrior? The former represents the potential for promotion while the majority of the latter have already exhausted their martial arts potential and can only stop here unless they encounter an opportunity.

As for those warriors who have exhausted their potential, Xiao Chen plans to have them enter the Eye of the Blood Spring to further develop their physical potential. In other words, they’ll stimulate their last hidden potential. After taking the martial arts pill and bathing in the blood pool, the level they can reach will be their highest possible peak, and they will no longer make any further progress.

For those young warriors under the age of twenty, as long as they cultivate to the full state of the Bone Tempering realm, Xiao Chen will also give them martial arts pills to allow them to ascend to the Blood Refining Realm. This is to save them cultivation time and give them ample time to advance to a higher level of martial arts, and these warriors will not be stimulated to unleash their potential prematurely.

Xiao Chen’s purpose is to exchange the sacrifices made by hundreds of thousands of middle-aged warriors for the time needed for the tribe’s development. By the time ten or twenty years have passed, the younger generation within the tribe will have grown up to replace them. After all, aside from high-end combat power, the Gu Yuan Tribe has an abundant supply of Bone-Tempering warriors, and there’s a serious disruption in the martial arts hierarchy. It’s like a tower, with a shaky foundation no matter how high it’s built, and it carries the risk of destruction.

"Grand Elder, inform the tribesmen that taking the martial arts pill and entering the blood pool to stimulate potential carries risk. In minor cases, the user ends up becoming a waste due to depleted body energy, and in serious cases, the body would explode, leaving no trace of the body. Let the warriors in the tribe make their own choice."

"Also, the fifty thousand young Bone-Tempering Realm warriors under twenty should not participate in this promotion. Tell them that the tribesmen have suffered tremendously and have given up their entire latter life to advance their realm, simply to give them more time for cultivation!"

"Yes!"

"Respected elders, the selection of formation masters requires roughly fifty thousand people. Besides, if there are remaining warriors, the elders can choose to accept them into their respective halls. After all, the secret realms in the great halls of the tribe need development. However, those who join the warriors must prioritize the selection of formation masters!"

"Yes!"

"Tribe leader, now each of our major halls has its own secret realm space. If we want to fully develop each of these secret realm spaces, merely recruiting warriors is insufficient. Therefore, we plan to enlist tribesmen in the tribe to develop the secret realm space."

"Granted!"

A secret realm’s development cannot be completed in a short period. About the matter of the Great Elders preparing to enlist tribesmen to develop the secret realm, Xiao Chen had already made a decision in his heart, it was only that these elders had said it first.

"Furthermore, considering that our tribe’s major halls are in charge of all aspects of the tribe but the strength within these halls is too weak, I allow the hall masters to recruit some warriors with outstanding martial arts potential from the tribe into their halls for training. Yet, of course, everything relies on the willingness of the tribe’s warriors to join one of the halls."

"Yes!"

Several elders instantly showed delight. Although their respective halls manage all aspects of the tribe, if we really speak about it, the strength is only sustained by the present hall masters. Aside from them, it’s impossible to find any influential warriors capable of maintaining the reputation of their own hall.

But now, the strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe is such. All Towering Realm warriors each perform their own duties. As the leader of the tribe, Xiao Chen has also noticed the problem of the lack of successors among the warriors of the major halls, hence, he gave the instruction.

I welcome everyone to join the group!’
