Chapter 869: Chapter 854: Years of Harvest, Five Meridians Stand Together! (Extra 18)

[Additional update] The sovereign of the tribe had agreed, and naturally, the elders in the hall had no objections. War Masters were the tribe’s sword for conquest, the force of arms. Where the sword pointed, it guarded the tribe’s sanctuary. It was only natural that the stronger it was, the better.

"Esteemed Chief, your subordinate has one more request!"

As Xiao Chen’s words fell, Ding Shan did not return to his seat but instead stood there with his fists clasped and spoke.

"Speak!"

"Chief, our War God Temple has been established for several years, and the talented warriors within have all participated in this blood battle. Among them, the best have even broken into the Layered Tower Realm before their twentieth bone age. Your subordinate earnestly requests the Chief to issue an order, allowing our War God Temple to recruit the talents cultivated by the War God Temple into the Guardian War Masters!"

Whoosh!

Ding Shan’s words suddenly quieted the Great Hall, but the next moment, it erupted into several times the noise.

"No way!"

"Ding Hall Master, you are monopolizing this, we all need fresh blood in many halls, why should only your War Master Hall?"

"Esteemed Chief, I, from the Guardian Hall, also request to recruit the talented warriors from the War God Temple."

"Esteemed Chief, I, from the Divine Weapon Hall, also need new warriors to join."

...

Ding Shan’s words immediately stirred the Great Hall into a bustling scene. The young warriors from the War God Temple had long been coveted by the major halls of the tribe, wishing they could pull them all under their wings. However, without Xiao Chen’s command, and with Luo Yun Mountain, the Guardian of the War God Temple, protecting them firmly, they could only watch helplessly.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ding Shan had made a bold request. If they didn’t act now, these talents might all be recruited by Ding Shan into his War Master Hall.

However, Luo Yun Mountain, the Guardian of the War God Temple, was smiling, as Xiao Chen had already informed him that once the warriors of the War God Temple advanced to the Layered Tower Realm, they could leave the temple gates. Whether joining the various halls of the Gu Yuan Tribe or adventuring on their own was up to these young warriors.

At Xiao Chen’s signal, Luo Yun Mountain stood up. His own disciples, coveted by so many in the tribe, also brought glory to him. He said cheerfully, "Honorable Hall Masters, hear me out."

Seeing Luo Yun Mountain speak, the previously competing hall masters stopped their disputes and looked at him.

"Master Luo, these years my War Master Hall has not spared its support for the development of the War God Temple. This time, the talented warriors of your War God Temple should join my War Master Hall."

Ding Shan once again cozied up, saying, "Master Luo, if a talent of the War God Temple wishes to join my War Master Hall, this Master will present ten thousand top-grade Yuan Stones as a gift to the War God Temple."

"Moreover, any warrior who joins the War Master Hall will be provided with cultivation resources by my War Master Hall."

In order to recruit talented young warriors, Ding Shan was truly making a significant offer at this moment.

"Master Luo, his War Master Hall can’t possibly have such a foundation, I see it’s all Ding Hall Master exaggerating. The resources we offer are definitely not weaker than those of the War Master Hall."

At this moment in the Great Hall, there were likewise young warriors from the War God Temple, and naturally, those who could enter the Great Hall were the ones who had already advanced to the Layered Tower Realm, aged around twenty-five or even younger.

Seeing the heads of the major halls of the tribe almost coming to blows over them, their hearts stirred as well, for it meant their talents were valued by these hall masters.

"Alright, these young warriors are the first batch from the War God Temple since its establishment. According to the Chief’s order, anyone who has advanced to the Layered Tower Realm can leave the War God Temple, and as for their choices, the Tribe will not interfere, and neither will I, allowing them complete autonomy in their decision,"

"Our first batch of qualified warriors from the War God Temple numbers one hundred and twenty-four, all positioned within the Layered Tower Realm, with the highest being at the fourth level of the Layered Tower Realm."

Pride was evident in Luo Yun Mountain’s voice; these outstandingly talented warriors were cultivated under his guidance, and were all around the bone age of twenty.

Each of these young warriors, placed in the Desolate Land, was one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand, a genius, even surpassing direct descendants from the noble clans by no small margin.

"Greetings, Chief!"

In an instant, behind Luo Yun Mountain, a group of young warriors rose to their feet, naturally including Xiao Chen’s disciples, who were among the best of these figures, though Yun Wei and Zi Yuan were not among them as Zi Yuan was too young, and Yun Wei had been kept hidden by Xiao Chen.

Moreover, Yun Wei’s strength was the highest among his nine disciples, and even now, she had stepped into the realm of the venerables, her destiny impossible to gauge by ordinary standards.

"Rise, all of you are geniuses of our Gu Yuan Tribe, the future knows no bounds, do not be complacent or arrogant, as there is no end to martial arts, in the Border Wasteland, the strong are revered."

Xiao Chen looked at these more than a hundred young warriors, his eyes also carrying a hint of a smile. After several years, the War God Temple had finally harvested its first batch of fruits.

"Thank you, Chief!"

At this moment, these young warriors’ eyes gleamed with fervor, Xiao Chen was the pace they all aspired to follow.

"Alright, presumably Master Luo has already told you, advancing to the Layered Tower Realm is no longer just about diligent cultivation, it requires experience. So, I, the Chief, will not restrict your freedom. You all have the right to make your own choices, whether to join the various halls of the tribe or to venture out on your own,"

Xiao Chen spoke up, and the masters of the various halls of the tribe naturally fell silent, all looking towards the young warriors to see their choices.

"Respectfully reporting to the clan leader, we wish to make our own way through the world," some said.

"We wish to join the War Master Hall," others declared.

"We wish to join the Dark Guard Hall!"

...

Soon, some of the young warriors began to express their desires, with some opting to join the various great halls while others wanted to venture out on their own.

These outspoken young warriors made up only a fifth of the hundred or so young warriors present; the rest did not speak, seemingly waiting for something.

As expected, seven figures emerged from the group and walked to the center of the Great Hall, bowing deeply to Xiao Chen.

"Greetings, Master!"

These seven were Xiao Chen’s disciples, who, after years of training, had lost their youthful naivety and had it replaced by firm determination; even their mutual competitive spirit had somewhat abated.

It’s not that their competitive spirit had disappeared, but it was concealed, and privately, they still pushed themselves.

The seven disciples, very familiar to the Gu Yuan Tribe, possessed strengths none weaker than below the third level of the Layered Tower Realm; the strongest among them had gained the essence of the Blood Sea during a recent struggle of fate, propelling him to the fourth level of the Layered Tower Realm.

With the blessing of fate, their talents had been significantly elevated.

Privately, these disciples were all referred to by the tribe people as Young Masters. Of course, this was not to say they would inherit Xiao Chen’s position, but as his direct disciples, they naturally were regarded like Xiao Chen’s own progeny, being called Young Masters in a show of reverence.

Over the years, these disciples had gathered a following, both within the War God Temple and in the tribe as well.

Naturally, the performances of these disciples had not disappointed Xiao Chen, excelling not just in cultivation but also in understanding the mysteries of their path.

"Respectfully reporting to Master, in these years, we have each gathered a group of followers. Now, with the foreign tribes threatening the Border Wasteland and ravaging the Wilderness, we wish to venture with our followers and seek your permission," the disciples said as they knelt before Xiao Chen.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen surprisingly grew interested, looked up at those young warriors who had not yet spoken, and then at the kneeling disciples. Clearly, these silent young warriors were their followers.

Xiao Chen was aware of his disciples’ actions; in the past days in the War God Temple, though restricted within the palace walls, their minor skirmishes didn’t concern him much.

But now, with them having formed their own opinions and aspiring to venture out of the tribe, they would face many more dangers in the future; as their master, he naturally needed to keep abreast of his disciples’ movements to prevent them from encountering dangers.

Thinking this, Xiao Chen said, "You few, step back for now. After the clan council, come see me in person at Blue Stone Garden."

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Chen’s gaze then returned to Luo Yun Mountain as he said, "Lord Luo, please explain the plan you have devised for recruiting warriors to the War God Temple in recent days."

"Yes, Master!"

Luo Yun Mountain complied and began, "According to the imperial command from the clan leader, I have drafted a plan to expand recruitment for the War God Temple."

"Besides Martial Arts, the War God Temple will establish Alchemy Path to attract youths from the Desolate Wilds who have a talent for alchemy."

"We will establish a Formation Way, recruiting young warriors talented in formation methods."

"We will establish a path for body refining, seeking those warriors with unique bloodlines or talents, and even those unable to cultivate Combat Qi, to follow the path of body refining."

"We will establish a path for equipment forging, to train craftsmen."

"From now on, the War God Temple will maintain these five paths: Martial Arts, Alchemy, Formation Way, Body Refining, and Equipment Forging. Whether we will establish other auxiliary martial professions will be decided later."

Quickly, Luo Yun Mountain reported the War God Temple’s expansion plan in front of the many elders and to Xiao Chen.

"Additionally, clan leader, after long consideration, even though the War God Temple allows staying based on time, there are still drawbacks, such as warriors unable to break through to the Layered Tower Realm might find ways to stay for extended periods in the War God Temple. Therefore, I request to set a term of ten years for each session in the War God Temple—those unable to advance to the Layered Tower Realm within ten years must leave!"

Ps, clan leader asks for subscriptions, recommendations, and monthly tickets!
