Chapter 794: Chapter 780: Difficult to Investigate! Tribal Gathering!_1

A surge of seriousness filled Xiao Chen’s eyes as his spiritual will seemed to dive into a bottomless abyss. However, the purple haze above his head remained visible, shining brilliantly like a pillar of destiny.

Within this purple shimmer, Xiao Chen realized that the essence of destiny was beginning to generate strains of blood qi. These strains, resembling maggots gnawing on bones, wrapped around the pillar, seemingly devouring the destiny of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Though inconspicuous at first glance, they were slowly sapping away the purple haze.

This pillar of destiny was the gathering essence of the entire Gu Yuan Tribe, and the will of the millions of tribe members. With its help, Xiao Chen could communicate with the spirit serpent of destiny and sense the thoughts in every tribe member’s heart.

The blood qi that was devouring the pillar of destiny was, in essence, undermining the standing of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Although it wasn’t evident now, over time this would bring about a devastating blow to the tribe.

Xiao Chen also detected that his spirit serpent, which originally roared within the sea of purple haze, was now like a bound beast, its movement severely hindered.

"Condense!"

With a sudden shout, a sphere of blood-colored haze was created at the center of Xiao Chen’s eyebrows. With the will of the entire border wasteland bestowed upon him, Xiao Chen’s spiritual will instantly pierced through the endless blood, plunging into the spirit serpent.

Roar!

In the sea of purple haze, the spirit serpent’s initially dim eyes lit up instantly, revealing a human-like color as roars filled the air.

Merging his spiritual will into the spirit serpent, Xiao Chen discovered the reason for the serpent’s listlessness: the haze sea had become like a swamp to it.

Blood!

Endless, boundless blood!

At this moment, Xiao Chen saw much more: through the eyes of the spirit serpent, all the mountains and earth became illusions. All he could see were endless expanses of blood. The mountains beyond the city, the land, the lakes and rivers all were blood-red!

It seemed as if they were all soaked in fresh blood!

Buzz!

Just as Xiao Chen wanted to explore further, he found himself being rejected and pushed out.

"This!"

Xiao Chen’s eyes were filled with determination, and alarm was evident in his gaze. He sensed that this bloody color did not merely target the Gu Yuan Tribe but included the battle divisions grouped outside the mountain city.

Although he now held the destiny of the border wasteland and was waging war against the Blood Clan, he hadn’t fully merged the will of the border wasteland with the tribal destiny. He was waiting for the tribe to gather enough members before inscribing the will of humanity onto each tribe member.

Clearly, to turn the earth red with blood would require great turmoil and slaughter. The only ones capable of causing such carnage were the foreign tribes. Perhaps they already had other conspiracies and plans underway.

No matter how Xiao Chen tried, he could only see the endless blood outside the city. Finally, he had to give up trying.

Such bloody mountains and rivers would surely bring about mass killing. All he could do now was to increase his strength. He was not afraid of the present situation. He had survived countless trials between life and death. His mind was as firm as steel.

Fivi days passed in this manner. During this time, Xiao Chen quietly meditated, continuing his understanding of the mysteries of Lightning and Destruction. With the added destiny of the entire borderland, his comprehension was advancing at an unprecedented speed.

These five days didn’t go well for the various low-grade battle divisions outside of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s Mountain City. Five days ago, according to Xiao Chen’s command, the tribal elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe began the aggressive annexation of low-grade divisions.

However, they didn’t just rudely force these divisions into their tribe. Instead, the warriors of the Gu Yuan tribe showed up in some of these divisions, bringing a hint of what was to come.

In theory, joining The Gu Yuan Tribe would be more beneficial for the warriors of these low-grade divisions. The most important thing being that they would experience a different kind of view. But things were different now. The Gu Yuan Tribe was planning to fight a massive battle against the Blood Clan. Joining the Gu Yuan Tribe may not be as good as it was imagined to be. Plus, even if the Gu Yuan Tribe left, there would be powerful beings from the Ancestral Court to protect this land.

As long as the Ancestral Court’s powerful beings could maintain the current state of life, joining the Gu Yuan Tribe and fighting the Blood Clan would be terrifying. Once it was revealed that the Gu Yuan Tribe was trying to gather them to join, most of the tribe leaders declined politely.

Following this, they experienced the thunderous means of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Almost simultaneously, the powerful beings of the Gu Yuan Tribe appeared in these tribes, restraining all the tribal leaders, elders and other warriors. Of course, those who resisted to the end also inevitably turned the land red with their blood.

With the tribe leaders and upper echelons out of the way, the Gu Yuan Tribe found it easier to gather the remaining ordinary members. Under the coercion of the powerful, these tribes people were resettled in the secret realm space after being incorporated into the tribe.

Gu Yuan Tribe’s Grand Hall.

The Elders and stewards of the Gu Yuan Tribe all sat with stern expressions. Nearly a thousand of them were present. Here gathered all the authority figures from every hall of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Fortunately, the Bronze Hall was spacious enough to accommodate them without feeling crowded.

Xiao Chen had given the tribe five days to regroup, take stock of the Gu Yuan Tribe’s assets. That’s why all the Executors and Elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe were assembled here.

In the Grand Hall, the temple masters from various halls of the Gu Yuan Tribe were situated to his right. Behind each master were the elders and stewards of their respective halls. The one and only requirement to become the elder of any of the major halls was to achieve the Towering Realm.

If a warrior from the Gu Yuan Tribe manages to achieve the Towering Realm, they can also choose which hall they wish to join. Alternatively, they might choose not to join any hall, opting instead to enter the Elder Hall for intensive cultivation, only needing to complete some tribal duties.

The Elder Hall was the cultivation ground for warriors of the Towering Realm in the tribe. No matter which hall a warrior of the Gu Yuan Tribe originated from, as long as they achieved the Towering Realm, they were eligible to enter the Elder Hall for cultivation.

At Xiao Chen’s right were the venerable powers of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Behind them were the warriors of the tribe, the elders of the tribe, and some fighters who were successful in achieving the Towering Realm, but who had not chosen to join any hall. They too had the honorary title of Elder of the Gu Yuan Tribe, albeit without actual power.

Also present were rangers and foreign warriors that the Gu Yuan Tribe had absorbed in recent days, including the warriors of the Layered Tower Realm.

"Greetings, Chief, Madam!"

All of a sudden, after all the elders and stewards had gathered, under the signal of Grand Elder Tie Shi, all the warriors rose to pay their respects to Xiao Chen, their voices roaring like thunder, making the hall hum and reverberate, the sound even reaching the outskirts of the tribe!

At this moment, the main seat in the hall was replaced by a massive white jade stone bed-like seat. Xiao Chen sat upright in the middle, Mu Qing and Nianhua, to his left and right respectively, sat on the sides. As Xiao Chen’s wives, and the First Ladies of the Gu Yuan Tribe, they had the privilege of sitting here.

"Everyone, please rise!"

Xiao Chen sat upright in the main seat, his eyes glowing like torches scanning the hall.

Once upon a time, the Gu Yuan Tribe was a minor clan, with nothing more than himself, a Blood Refining Realm warrior, and only a handful of elders and stewards.

But now, within this grand hall, none were below the Blood Refining Realm Perfection. Only those who reached the Blood Refining Realm Perfection were qualified to hold a stewardship in the major halls of the tribe.

And in the present Gu Yuan Tribe, warriors of the Blood Refining Realm were just ordinary war soldiers, seen everywhere!

"Reporting to the Chief!" After everyone had seated, Grand Elder Tie Shi bristled with combat Qi and stood in a spot beneath Xiao Chen. He bowed and declared in a deep voice.

"As ordered by you, Chief. Reallocation of all tribal resources was executed. After five days, all elders finished the task!"

"Good!"

Xiao Chen nodded, then continued: "Elders and stewards, it has been ten years since our Gu Yuan Tribe was founded. We have weathered many challenges. We have also evolved from a mid-tier Battle Division to possessing the strength equalling that of a Marquis Battle Division. This could not have been accomplished without the hard work of the elders."

"We’ve been together for ten years, that’s a whole generation. By now, everyone is undoubtedly familiar with the way the tribe has developed, even though you might mainly see the tribes’ prosperity on the surface. As for the depth of the foundation that has been laid by the Gu Yuan Tribe, I suspect only a handful of people understand. Even I, as the clan chief, do not fully understand!"

"Today, we assemble once again to assess the resources we have accumulated over the course of ten years. Let’s evaluate them together!"

"Grand Elder, start!" After Xiao Chen sensed that all the warriors’ eyes were on him, he spoke.

"Yes!" After the Grand Elder Tie Shi responded by bowing, he turned around to face the people in the hall.

"Our Gu Yuan Tribe has grown from a handful of people to what we have today. It won’t stay on course unless our war masters ensure our safety. So, for this tribal assessment, we’ll commence with the War Master Hall!"

"Ding Shan, the Master of War Master Hall!"

Ding Shan stood up. At this moment, this muscular man stood up with an incredibly solemn look on his rugged face. Arriving in the center of the Grand Hall, he knelt on one knee towards Xiao Chen in the upper seat of the hall, and declared in a deep voice, "Master Ding Shan of the War Master Hall, heed the command!"
