Chapter 888: Chapter 871 Mountains and Rivers Evolution - The Real World!

The Nine-tier Blood Refining Tower, which refines the corpses of exotic tribes into energy, can only be powered by ancient human artifacts. Constructing such a tower was incredibly difficult, and even more so now, as the old forging methods on the Desolate Land had largely been lost.

A flash of understanding sparked in Xiao Chen’s eyes as if he had grasped something, but it flickered out just as quickly. However, in the next moment, Luli’s voice rang out.

"Tribespeople, we can take down this Blood Refining Tower and integrate it into the Mountain River Seal."

"Luli, why is that? Does the Nine-tier Blood Refining Tower have something that can restore the Mountain River Seal?" Xiao Chen couldn’t help but voice his doubt.

"Master, let’s secure this Nine-tier Blood Refining Tower first. As for the reason, Luli will provide you with a satisfying answer later," she replied.

Excitement tinged Luli’s voice as her small form jumped about on the fragment of the broken star, which was rapidly dissolving.

It’s no wonder other warriors failed to notice the crystal core within the broken star—it entiremass had melted into a crystal, enveloping the star core within. Hundreds of feet thick, not even a monarch could probe its deepest parts.

Xiao Chen nodded, though at this moment, he was not the only warrior interested in this Blood Refining Tower.

The Blood Refining Tower could blend the blood and bones of exotic tribes into Blood Qi, enhancing a warrior’s strength. The refined Blood Qi was comparable to elixirs, a treasure naturally enough to provoke fierce competition among many tribes.

However, this is not to say that by simply refining the Blood Qi of the exotic tribes, human warriors could continuously strengthen themselves—if that were so, the Alchemy Path would not still be inheriting in the Human Realm.

There is also no precedent of a warrior advancing to high levels solely by refining the blood and bones of other tribes. Refining the blood and bone of other tribes always comes with limitations.

Like taking roughly mixed medicinal pills, the essence of blood and bones also contains impurities, and even residual souls from the exotic tribes, which could greatly impact a warrior, potentially leading to devastating consequences.

Thus, refining the blood and bones of exotic tribes cannot be done in succession; it must be approached gradually, requiring extensive time for refinement.

Nevertheless, having a Blood Refining Tower to purify the essence of exotic blood and bones would be immensely beneficial in enhancing the strength of ordinary warriors within a tribe.

Especially for tribes like the Gu Yuan Tribe, whose foundational strength is weak, having a Blood Refining Tower to refine the essence of the Blood Clan, along with the support of elixirs, would significantly accelerate the power development of the tribe’s warriors.

"My Feng Wu Marquis Clan is willing to trade a Near Monarch Weapon for this Blood Refining Tower," one warrior offered.

Soon, warriors began to make their offers.

Though these powerful marquis clans all inherited the Alchemy Path, especially in remote border areas, the demand of tens of millions of tribe people could not be met by elixirs alone.

Moreover, treasures that could help increase the overall strength of a tribe were rare and should not be missed when found.

"Hmph, this Nine-tier Blood Refining Tower can enhance the strength of ordinary tribe warriors. My Jade Sea Marquis Clan offers a mid-grade Near Monarch Weapon!" another announced.

Compared to the classification of divine weapons, Near Monarch Weapons also had finer distinctions: lower grade, middle grade, high grade, top tier, and peak—five levels.

This classification corresponds to the divisions made for Near Monarchs, where advancing to a Supreme Monarch after the Martial Arts Tower’s ninth tier is akin to Ascending Heavenly Path. Almost every minute breakthrough significantly enhances combat power.

"This old man is willing to trade a five-star Exotic Beast egg for this Blood Refining Tower."

"My Tian Luo Marquis Clan will offer a Near Monarch Level Talisman in exchange for this Blood Refining Tower."

...

The clamor was tidal; clearly, too many warriors coveted the Blood Refining Tower, making it extremely difficult to acquire. The bidding had only just begun, and already Near Monarch Level Treasures were on offer.

Xiao Chen also possesses a Near Monarch Weapon!

It was thanks to obliterating the Blood Faint Noble Family that he obtained this Near Monarch Weapon. As it was forged by a warrior of the Blood Clan, it was rich with Cold Darkness, making it an excellent Divine Weapon for human Near Monarch practitioners of the Cold Darkness Dao.

Since this Near Monarch Weapon from the Blood Faint Noble Family was of top-tier quality, perhaps this was why the old ancestor of the Blood Faint family couldn’t fully control it, opting to keep it in the family treasury instead.

Because this weapon originates from the Blood Clan and could only be wielded by a Near Monarch practicing the Cold Darkness Dao, its value is greatly diminished among the human race.

"The Gu Yuan Tribe is willing to trade a top-tier Near Monarch Weapon for this Blood Refining Tower," Xiao Chen finally declared aloud.

A bloody light floated up; it was a blood-red war saber, merely three feet long, but the blade echoed with the sound of surging blood and even roars, as Cold Darkness pervaded the air.

Xiao Chen presented the blood saber, which naturally drew the eyes of many warriors once again. However, upon seeing this blood saber, they were all slightly taken aback—this was not a Near Monarch Weapon crafted by the human race.

Nonetheless, a top-tier Near Monarch Weapon was indeed a shock to everyone; such a weapon could only be fully controlled by the strongest among Near Monarchs.

"My Qi Wu Marquis Clan is also willing to offer a top-tier Blood Clan Near Monarch Weapon, along with a vat of ten-thousand-year-old Wutong Heart Spring," another added.

Following Xiao Chen’s move, the Qi Wu Marquis clan also made an offer, directly challenging Xiao Chen with another top-tier Blood Clan Near Monarch Weapon.

As for the ten-thousand-year-old Wutong Heart Spring, it is the essence of the Divine Tree Wutong, offering miraculous effects for legendary and even Half Monarch warriors, whether in healing injuries or enhancing strength.

Hum!

Xiao Chen remained silent. However, from within the Spiritual Lotus Pavilion, another jade box flew out.

The Jade Box in mid-air opened automatically, emanating a shimmering purple light.

"What is this?"

Seeing a similar Jade Box appear, Ao Qiong’s eyes instantly flashed with recognition; sure enough, as he had guessed, the box opened to reveal its contents.

Purple Crystal Ascendant Vine!

This one was even older and of a higher quality than the previous one; even the two offshoots it had produced were already two thousand years old.

"Purple Crystal Ascendant Vine!"

Cries of astonishment arose, and although all present were legendary strong ones, behind each was a clan with descendants.

To the legendary strong ones, the importance of the Ninth Grade Martial Arts Tower was clear, and not all the warriors present had built their own towers; only recently had they ascended to the rank of legends.

Some warriors had received the inheritance of the clan’s Ninth Grade Martial Arts Tower, refining the towers left by their ancestors before they were considered among the legends.

Now, facing an item that could enhance the quality of the Martial Arts Tower, their eyes emitted a burning zeal.

At this moment, many warriors also realized what Xiao Chen had traded to acquire that broken star.

The Sky Mending Fruit from the Jade Sea Marquis Clan seemed trivial compared to the Purple Crystal Ascendant Vine; no wonder the Jade Sea Marquis Clan’s additional offers of two, five, or even ten multicolored Sky Mending Fruits were refused.

Inside the Spiritual Lotus Pavilion, Xiao Chen chuckled lightly as, in just a few breaths, more than a dozen streams of mental will penetrated the pavilion, each desiring to trade for the Purple Crystal Ascendant Vine.

Xiao Chen did not refuse any; instead, he replied one by one, deciding to make a decision after the trading meeting.

"The Tian Luo Marquis Clan quits this trade!"

"The Phoenix Dance Marquis Clan quits the trade!"

"This old man, Tian Han, quits this contest!"

...

Having received Xiao Chen’s reply, some clans originally contesting the item gave up, seemingly aiming to curry favor with him.

"All right, this Nine Rotation Blood Refining Tower will be traded by the Gu Yuan Clan; I trust there are no objections?"

Within the Spiritual Lotus Pavilion of the Jade Sea Marquis Clan, a remarkably handsome youth-like warrior spoke. Although appearing young, the vicissitudes in his eyes suggested he had lived for at least a thousand years.

"Purple Crystal Ascendant Vine, three thousand years old, truly qualifies as a premium item among heavenly objects."

The deliberate, paced voice echoed; upon finishing, the warrior seemed to be lost in contemplation.

The Turtle Head Commercial Association’s trading meeting, with its many heavenly spirit items, naturally could not be completed in a single day.

As dusk approached, Xiao Chen returned to the Great Hall where he was resting. The trading meeting would continue the next day, and more warriors were expected to arrive.

Once back in the Great Hall, Xiao Chen dismissed the guiding warrior and eagerly made his way into the Mountain and River Seal, with Pegasus naturally guarding the entrance.

"Master!"

As Xiao Chen entered the Mountain River Seal Space, a cry of surprise rang out, and a green figure leaped towards him, catching him off guard and leaving him unable to react.

"Luli!"

Luli’s body was becoming more solid and had even grown slightly, but Xiao Chen could no longer sense her aura.

Although Luli was the absolute ruler in the Mountain River Seal Space, Xiao Chen could occasionally sense her fluctuations. However, now he could not detect even the slightest trace.

"This...?"

Once Xiao Chen recovered from his initial shock, he was completely taken aback by the scene before him.

The Mountain River Seal Space had completely changed in appearance; it was beyond his imagination, as it now seemed more like a world than merely a space.

Because he could feel the mysteries of heaven and earth emanating from the air around him. Although still somewhat incomplete, this was clearly the nascent form of a world’s evolution.

The major difference between a world and a Secret Realm Space is that a small world is self-contained, capable of operating on its own, a feature lacking in Secret Realm Spaces that depend on their primary world for existence.

"Master, this is all thanks to that broken star." Luli danced in the air, her green luminescence flickering like a sprite.

"The star’s core within that star had formed over millions of years, containing an immense amount of energy. The Mountain River Seal has now been 50 percent restored, enough to begin operating on its own."

"Energy accumulated over millions of years." Xiao Chen was startled; he felt incredibly fortunate that if the broken star had caught the attention of a monarch, he would certainly have missed out on it.
