Chapter 696: Chapter 682: Bai Ze’s decision, Mysterious Celestial Maiden! _1

Bai Ze Marquis Division.

Deep inside the Bai Hua Ancient Forest, there is a wooden hall, carved out from a massive birch stem. The interior of the wooden hall was simply decorated, with seven figures seated.

After the Ghost Tribe was severely hit in the Void Path, Bai Ze Marquis Division had been rather peaceful recently. Even with the turmoil caused by survivors of the Exotic Clan in the Border Wilderness Domain over the past few months and individual tribes of the Human race waging wars against the Exotic clans, the Bai Ze Marquis Division adeptly observed the events unfold from afar.

Within the Great Hall, there were seven figures, seven venerable persons of great power attesting to the underlying strength of the strongest Battle Division in the Border Wilderness Domain. Apart from Bai Ze Ancestor Bai Shi, the Grand Venerable Elder, there was also Bai Ze Clan Leader Heze Venerable, the Supreme Elder Bai Feng Venerable and Venerable LanFeng, the Grand Elder Vajra Venerable One, and another old man, also a Supreme Elder of the Bai Ze Marquis Division.

Additionally, there was a young venerable. Despite his bone age definitely not exceeding fifty, the aura he exuded was undeniably a venerable, and not just an ordinary one.

"Heze, have the young warriors to be sent to Gu Yuan Tribe been selected yet?"

The Bai Ze Ancestor seated in the host’s seat seemed like an old hunter with his beasts skin shirt and wrinkled face. His voice seemed feeble, likened to a person deprived of blood and Qi, it was hard to believe that this old man was a Grand Venerable of the seventh heaven of the Towering Realm.

"Ancestor, all preparations are in place. Over two hundred people under the bone age of twenty, all in the Blood Refining Realm, led by Bai Lang." The highly-respected Heze Venerable respectfully replied in front of his fellow tribesman.

"Good, set off as soon as possible!" The Grand Venerable Bai Shi then lightly nodded.

"Wait!"

Just when Heze Venerable acknowledged his order, a voice interrupted, originating from the young venerable in the hall.

"Dear Ancestor and Father, I fail to understand what merits and abilities Xiao Chen and Gu Yuan tribe possess that warrant us Bai Ze Marquis Division to proactively lower ourselves to their level. They’re just a minor tribe that had a close brush with fame due to chance, fortuitously advancing to the venerable stage. Now, they’re overreaching themselves, recruiting warriors from other clans to train, like a hotshot. You all hold Xiao Chen in such high regard, but I think he’s just a fame-seeking individual. Our Bai Ze tribe has a glorious heritage spanning over ten thousand years, that insignificant minor tribe doesn’t amount to much!"

The one speaking was the youth clan leader of Bai Ze Marquis Division, named Bai Ming, who was around forty and at the peak of the initial stage of Venerable. For most of the Desolate Wilds, fifty meant you were still considered a young warrior.

As the youth leader of the number one Battle Division in the Border Wilderness Domain, he naturally was uncomfortable with Xiao Chen, a warrior younger than him and whose fame had shocked the Great Wasteland.

"Silence!" Heze Venerable commanded, "How dare you question an issue decided by our Ancestor!"

Despite also not understanding why their Ancestor was making this peculiar decision of sending their warriors to Gu Yuan Tribe for training and offering numerous gifts generously, and even going there uninvited, Heze Venerable had absolute faith in his Ancestor’s words.

At this time, Bai Ze Ancestor raised his head to look at Bai Ming, his eyes held neither sadness nor joy, then he casually said, "On this occasion, let the Grand Elder lead the delegation, and you will accompany him to the Gu Yuan Tribe. When you arrive, you will understand why our ten thousand year old Bai Ze Tribe lowered its dignity and gave face to a minor tribe that had only been established for a few years, even without being invited."

Faced with the authority of the Ancestor, Bai Ming finally conceded and left the Great Hall with the Grand Elder Vajra Venerable One, preparing to set off to Gu Yuan Tribe.

The Gu Yuan Tribe’s establishment of the War God Temple did not receive overly zealous attention, and Xiao Chen only invited four major tribes, giving each tribe a quota of a hundred warriors. But he underestimated the extent of the Border Wilderness Domain’s response to the War God Temple.

As the largest tribe in the Border Wilderness Region with a history of ten thousand years and influence spanning across the Border Wasteland, the news of the War God Temple soon reached Bai Ze Marquis Division, causing everyone to smirk.

They considered the minor tribe’s behavior as making a fool of themselves, but they did not expect that their Ancestor, who came back from the Ancestral Court, would make a sudden decision upon hearing the news. The Bai Ze Marquis Division was also going to send warriors to participate in the assessment at the War God Temple, even without an invitation.

Needless to say, Bai Ze Marquis Division was ranked among the Grand Marquis Divisions, the Gu Yuan Tribe was but a Middle ranked Tribe. Even though it now had strength comparable to higher-ranked Battle Divisions and even Marquis, would a new tribe’s warrior training capability surpass that of an established Marquis Battle Division?

The gap seemed as vast as a boundless sea; they couldn’t comprehend why their Ancestor would make such a decision. Their Bai Ze Division even offered numerous gifts, as if imploring the Gu Yuan Tribe to accept their warriors.

"Ancestor, does this Gu Yuan Tribe hold some unknown secret?"

After contemplating for a long time, Heze Venerable finally voiced his doubt. On that day when he’d invited Xiao Chen to assist in the conquest against the Ghost Tribe, Xiao Chen’s extraordinary talent and strength left him in awe, he couldn’t help but admit that his son Bai Ming was not a match for Xiao Chen. It was a comprehensive surpassing in terms of talent and battle prowess.

"Bone age below thirty, Perfect Venerable and potential to become a King!" After a long silence, Bai Ze Ancestor Wei Yan whispered.

What!

Royal talent!

"Elder, you spoke of a Venerable One’s complete realm, of royal talent. Does that mean Xiao Chen has already been promoted to the Venerable One’s complete realm?" After a moment of stun, the warriors in the great hall finally reacted.

They knew what royal talent was, they had seen it with their own eyes in Xiao Chen. Furthermore, they had fought side by side against the ghost tribe. He was at the realm of a mid-term venerable one, but the elder claimed he was at the complete realm. Could it be that in such a short period, Xiao Chen has leaped two minor steps? His training speed was unheard of.

"The southwestern border of Border Wasteland Region can be considered an impoverished area within the Wasteland. To be able to lead a tribe to rise in that impoverishment, Xiao Chen must indeed be a person of great destiny. Now, he is less than thirty years old and already in the complete realm of the Venerable One. This is absolutely a sign of flourishing destiny. Moreover, this time, as I went to the Human Ancestral Court, I received some secret information from there. Perhaps the destiny of our Border Wasteland Region is returning!"

In the murky eyes of Bai Shi Elder, there was a hint of sharpness. Although he had kept some secrets from the conversation with the Grand Elder of the Ancestral Court, he was able to guess a few. Coupled with the changes in the Border Wasteland Region over the past several hundred years, he was bound to make some calculations.

"Elder Ancestor, are you telling the truth?"

Also revealing a look of surprise in his eyes, Venerable Heze asked, "Is destiny really returning? Is the Border Wasteland Region about to return to the great world of tens of thousands of years ago?"

"Our Bai Ze Marquis Division has indeed inherited for tens of thousands of years. However, the way of destiny is elusive. Those who possess great destiny must have something different. The warriors of our Bai Ze Marquis Division joining the War God Temple can to some extent connect with this destiny. It might be better to get along with it. Even if that Gu Yuan Tribe stops on the spot from then on, it’s just a matter of consuming some resources!"

Tian Tai War Department.

As the top-notch war department ranked first in the Border Wasteland Region, the strength of the Tian Tai War Department has always been suppressing other top-notch war departments. Even in the Great Wasteland, there is a rumor that the Tian Tai War Department has accumulated enough foundation to advance to the rank of the Marquis War Department thousands of years ago. However, the tribe has big ambitions and is not content to be an ordinary Marquis rank war department, silently accumulating strength.

Deep inside the Tian Tai War Department, there was a complex of palaces, made of flawless white jade, surrounded by a clear lake. Near-transparent and exquisitely beautiful flowers bloomed around, vying for brilliance, incredibly flexible, with countless water droplets falling, like bouncing pearls.

In the complex, large and small crystal stones were embedded to illuminate the interior without being dazzling. Inside a palace, a woman in a white dress with waterfall-like black hair, hanging straight to her waist. Her exquisite face exuded an indescribable charm. It was Tiantai Xuan.

At this moment, the Tiantai Goddess was emanating an extremely mysterious aura. There was a hint of divine light on her forehead, making her whole person appear hazy, like a fairy in the clouds. Moreover, her strength was even more profound compared to the time when she was fighting for the spiritual wood in the depths of the Dragon Fall Mountain range.

"Xiaoyun!" After a long while, the Tiantai Goddess lazily said in a soft voice, "Have the warriors of our clan who are going to the Gu Yuan Tribe for the assessment prepared properly?"

"Mistress, everything is ready." A maid standing by answered.

"Tell the clan leader, they can start now!"

"Yes, Mistress!" The maid, having heard that, respectfully retreated.

The maid went to pass on the order, and a hint of unknown meaning flashed in Tiantai Xuan’s eyes. She looked at the spiritual flowers in the lake outside the palace as if she were lost in thought. However, the next moment, the divine light on her forehead shone. As the divine brilliance disappeared, her figure also vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen, who was still immersed in the cultivation of the Tribal Battle Array Master, had no idea that his one move had shocked many giants in the Border Wasteland Region. Not only the Human War Department, even the lone rangers and wandering cultivators in the Border Wasteland Region began to move at the news and headed towards the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Gu Yuan Tribe.

Several major halls had been busy for several months and had built palaces in their secret realm spaces. Now the Enforcement Hall, Martial Arts Hall, Performing Martial Arts Hall, Dark Guard Hall, Hundred Herbs Hall, Divine Weapon Hall, Internal Affairs Hall, Elder Hall, Palace Of The Sacred Beast, Moon Gazing Hall, War Master Hall - these eleven halls were spread out in the Mountain City.

At this moment, in the secret realm of the War Master Hall, the warriors who had taken the Martial Arts Great Pill entered the Blood Pond one by one, starting to stimulate their potential once again. With the abundant supply of pills and spirit medicines, the Gu Yuan Tribe already had thirty thousand warriors whose martial potential had been exhausted. They took the Martial Arts Great Pill and were promoted to the Blood Refining Realm.

Of course, the price paid for this was huge. Even with the elders watching over them, among the 30,000 warriors, more than 3,000 of them had died or been reduced to waste from broken tendons and veins. It can be said that one-tenth of the warriors were lost.
