Chapter 735: Chapter 721: The Secret is Revealed, Mysterious Gas Cluster! _1

After ten days, a thunder-like roar echoed above the Gu Yuan Tribe. A ferocious warship hundreds of feet long tore through the void. Under the watchful eyes of countless rangers outside the Mountain City, it disappeared in the blink of an eye within the Tribal Mountain City. Craftsman like Xiao Lin and others of the Divine Weapon Hall alighted from the warship, their faces full of joy.

These past few days, they wandered through every mine vein left behind by the Bai Ze Marquis Division. The Bai Ze Marquis Division did not cause any damage to the mine veins before leaving. Even the mining slaves or workers in some mine veins didn’t stop mining. The mine veins were operating normally, and all the Gu Yuan Tribe needed to do was to send warriors from the tribe to oversee the mine veins.

After probing, they confirmed that more than half of these mine veins still have mining value, which includes some precious veins.

The low-grade divine material mine, known as Earth Cloud Divine Gold, is one of the earth attribute divine materials. However, its quality is somewhat low. Even so, even low-grade divine material is hundreds of times more valuable than top-grade spirit material. This is the quality gap between casting materials. Weapons forged using divine materials possess the power to communicate with the mysteries of heaven and earth. Even a top-grade spirit weapon forged from top-grade spirit materials can only accommodate, not truly integrate, these mysteries. It can only serve as a medium.

Divine gold is elusive. This Earth Cloud Divine Gold vein is but a barren one. The amount of base divine gold that can be mined each year, when put together, is merely the size of a fist, and this is already considered a great harvest.

A fist-sized base divine gold can be mixed into ten spirit weapons to imbue them with the power to communicate with the mysteries of heaven and earth. Of course, as the Earth Cloud Divine Gold is an earth attribute divine material, it can only communicate with various earth attribute mysteries.

With the return of the craftsmen from Divine Weapon Hall, the Gu Yuan Tribe set into motion. One warrior after another boarded the Void Battleship and set off to guard the mining locations. Even some key mine veins were overseen by the Zhong Lou Realm warriors. The warriors who were originally cultivating in the Elder Hall were summoned by Xiao Chen’s Imperial Command to guard the tribe’s mining veins.

At the top of the Bronze Tower in the tribe, Xiao Chen stood overlooking the whole Mountain City Tribe.

Now the Gu Yuan Tribe Mountain City seems a bit neglected compared to the areas outside the tribe where rangers gather. Outside the east city, in front of the War God Temple, rangers and lone cultivators from all over the border wastelands come every day, hoping to acquire a high-level martial arts heritage.

This turned the entire area outside the Mountain City into a market of sorts. Seeing the opportunity, rangers set up trade. Nevertheless, all of this is under the Gu Yuan Tribe’s permission.

Moreover, the war soldiers of the Gu Yuan Tribe forcibly occupied the market, crushing any recalcitrant elements. This brought stability to the market. The tribal area’s desolation is due to the need for manpower. The Gu Yuan Tribe needs to develop over ten secret realms.

For example, the Spirit Medicine and Spirit Rice Secret Realm in the Hundred Herbs Hall needs a million tribespeople from the Gu Yuan Tribe. A third of the population has entered the secret realm, opened spiritual fields, and planted medicinal herbs. After several months of hard work, initial results are already showing. The Spirit Medicine Secret Realm has been plowed by hundreds of thousands of women, together with some old people of the tribe, uncovering more than half of it. Patches of spiritual fields are scattered throughout the secret realm, from which sprouts of green spirit rice seedlings poke out.

In places unsuitable for cultivating spirit rice, there are various spirit medicines planted by the tribespeople. There are also precious medicinal herbs transplanted from the Desolate Wilds in the outer world. Today, the Gu Yuan Tribe preserves and specially handles any spirit medicine they encounter, trying as much as possible to transplant them into the secret realm.

Even some young children in the tribe follow their relatives, even at their young age. Barring those with tribal affairs, there are rarely any idlers in the tribe.

The young warriors are struggling to cultivate. Although they didn’t pass the War God Temple’s test, they joined the various halls of the tribe and received training all the same. The martial arts classics they practice are not inferior to those of the War God Temple.

"Master, Qingling has fully integrated the underground earth veins of the entire mountain city with the ancient city!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. After these days, he finally waited for this day. Qingling gained full control of the earth veins. From this moment on, even if the Gu Yuan Tribe Mountain City leaves this place, the energy of this earth vein can be brought by the ancient city anywhere.

"Good, gather all the earth vein energy. I want to see how long this boundary can hold without the support of earth vein energy!" After spending a lot of time and not being able to locate the boundary, Xiao Chen could only wait until Qingling completely controlled the earth veins.

"Yes, Master!"

Since the establishment of the Gu Yuan Tribe in this vast land for thousands of miles, everything on this land is closely related to the tribe due to the accumulation of luck. This includes the qi of the earth veins. Xiao Chen integrated the Bronze Ancient City into the Tribal Mountain City and made it the city where the tribe dwells. One could say that this Bronze Ancient City is now the Gu Yuan Tribe, and the Gu Yuan Tribe is this Bronze Ancient City.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Below in the earth veins, mysterious yellow qi streams started joining from every direction. Thousands of branches were detached from all sides and merged into the main vein. Without anyone noticing, the ancient forests in several thousand territories around the Mountain City seemed to be drained of life. If the qi of the earth veins disappeared, these ancient trees would gradually lose their vitality.

"Master, I have moved the qi of the earth veins from deep underground to less than a hundred feet under the city."

"Good!"

Under Qingling’s control, the qi of the earth veins has been moved to less than a hundred feet under the Mountain City. Now there’s nothing more to do but wait, wait for this boundary-like thing to appear again. Waiting thusly, one day, two days, three days... five days, even after ten days, there was no abnormality.

However, at this moment, Xiao Chen had calmed down. Now that Qingling had full control over the earth veins and integrated it with the city, the moment the boundary appears, it will necessarily reveal itself.

A day later, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged at the top of the Bronze Tower, in meditation. Suddenly, Qingling woke him up.

"Master, that strange surge has appeared, it is extracting the energy of the earth veins!"

Instantly, Xiao Chen’s eyes shot out two beams of lightning, piercing the air in front of him, creating ripples like those made by splashing water.

"Roar!"

The next moment, above the tribe, purple clouds surged and the spirit serpent danced wildly. The purple serpent dove into the ground, shrinking as it went, moving agilely as it descended hundreds of feet within moments, merging into the energy of the earth veins.

"That is!"

After a moment, the purple eyes of the spirit serpent flickered, revealing a touch of human-like shock.

The energy of the earth veins, which had been controlled by Qingling, had already contracted into a mysterious yellow energy ball, but at this moment it was drawn out by an invisible force into a branch. The mysterious yellow energy flowed along this branch, pouring deeper into the earth.

Only then did Xiao Chen understand. As a sacred ancient city from ten thousand years ago, the plentiful earth Qi of this land need not be mentioned. However, the earth veins that it formed couldn’t take shape, merely a phantom spanning a hundred miles. The energy of these earth veins was constantly being drained by this hidden place below, unable to gather enough Qi to form the earth veins.

The spirit serpent swam in the mysterious yellow energy ball, hiding its body.

After a moment, a flash of determination crossed its purple eyes, and it swam towards the branch the energy ball had split from. It wanted to see what secret was hidden in the depths of the earth.

Moments later, Xiao Chen saw the source of his doubts. A hundred feet below, there was another mysterious yellow energy ball silently nestled beneath the earth. This energy ball, about tens of feet in diameter, was currently drawing energy from the earth veins above to supplement itself.

This mysterious yellow energy ball was exactly like Qingling said, it was like a barrier, isolating its interior from the surrounding earth. To Xiao Chen, it felt just like when he had encountered a region with ancient mountain ranges in the Void.

There was even a hint of unreality. Although it was under the earth veins, the surrounding soil seemed to pass through the energy ball as if the dirt and the energy ball were not in the same space.

"Could there be a small space within this barrier!"

Suddenly, this thought appeared in Xiao Chen’s mind. However, his physical body was still seated on top of the Bronze Tower in the Mountain City. Even with the help of the spirit serpent, he could only explore the depths of the earth, causing him to wonder how he could delve into this mysterious barrier.

Om!

At that moment, it seemed the barrier had absorbed enough energy. Its connection with the energy of the earth veins above was suddenly severed, and the spirit serpent under Xiao Chen’s control emerged in an instant. Just as Xiao Chen was about to control the spirit serpent to merge with the earth, it was too late.

"Not good!"

The barrier, like a sentient being, shrank in an instant, transforming into a fist-sized mysterious yellow energy ball and plummeting deeper into the earth.

Even though he was controlling the tribe’s spirit serpent with his spiritual will, the subtleties of the force of destiny were not something Xiao Chen could control. He could only control the serpent’s instincts. The next moment, the spirit serpent plunged down following the shrinkage of the energy ball.

Roar!

A roar echoed in the quiet underground world, but it could hardly be transmitted out. In an instant, the spirit serpent had reached behind the energy ball. Both the spirit serpent and the energy ball seemed like illusions, and the compacted soil of the underground seemed like nothing, unable to obstruct them.

Om!

The spirit serpent opened its mouth wide, and the next moment, it held the energy ball in its mouth!

Then, with a flick of its tail, the spirit serpent’s head turned and shot upwards, piercing the ground above. Its body, like an illusion, passed through the earth at an astonishing speed. In just a moment, it burst out from the ground.
