Chapter 946: Chapter 929: Evolution of the Ancient City, Divine Gold Void!
The corners of the Celestial Seal King’s mouth twitched briefly, but Xiao Chen showed no reaction.
The Celestial Seal King had entered the path through talismans, and this King’s Secret Treasure was naturally a transformation of the runes he derived.
The Secret Treasure appeared pale yellow and sparkling, small enough to fit in the palm, hexagonal in shape, but the faintly emerging King’s Momentum was enough to cause heart palpitations.
Countless runes were densely connected and encircled each other, layer upon layer, with clear layers and textures. Tens of thousands of runes were concentrated in an area the size of a palm.
"A great war is approaching, and although our Human Race has tapped into our foundation, intending to keep the other races outside of the void, the Great Human Tribes in Eastern Wasteland War Department still need to send out troops for conquests and prepare for battle!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen had securely kept the jade talisman, the Celestial Seal King’s voice rang out again.
Xiao Chen bowed deeply once more to express his gratitude. No matter what, the Celestial Seal King’s help had been substantial, and he would not forget the protection and guidance this senior member of the Human Race offered.
"I will send you back. Remember not to speak carelessly about matters concerning the Royal Beast Race; as for Ziyang, I will personally warn him."
"This junior will bear it in mind!"
The next moment, the Celestial Seal King said no more and swept Xiao Chen away from the War Secret Realm.
Feeling the overwhelming aura of battle within the secret realm and the Human Race Warriors staying alert overnight, Xiao Chen’s blood surged once again, unable to settle down.
Gu Yuan Tribe.
Upon returning to the Border Wasteland, Xiao Chen went straight into the Bronze Ancient City.
The Bronze Ancient City had changed somewhat from a few months ago when the great battle took place. The city walls had been raised by another thirty feet. The Void Floating Island from the Blood Faint Noble Family had been integrated into the ancient city, and now its results were visible.
Xiao Chen went straight to the Great Hall at the top of the Bronze Tower in the center of the tribe.
The Great Hall, too, had changed.
The lotus platform, where the spirit of the Bronze Ancient City resided, had changed its appearance, expanded several times over. The entire platform sparkled with a soft glow, and at the center of the platform, the spirit Qingling sensed Xiao Chen’s arrival and opened her eyes.
"Greetings, master." The petite spirit spread her wings and flew up from the lotus platform, darting towards Xiao Chen.
"Qingling, how are the ancient city’s repairs coming along?" Xiao Chen asked, unable to wait.
"Master, after devouring the Divine Material and Void Crystal contained in the Void Floating Island, the Bronze Ancient City has been repaired to eighty percent of its capacity."
"Eighty percent is which realm?" Xiao Chen asked in return.
"To report to the master, the Bronze Ancient City can now expand several times over if needed, the height of the city walls can increase by three hundred feet. The previously damaged Elemental Stone Cannons on the city walls have been fully restored, and each side of the city wall has one hundred and eight Elemental Stone Cannons," said Qingling, fluttering her wings and flashing before Xiao Chen as she whispered.
"It’s just a pity that to upgrade the Elemental Stone Cannons, the fire attribute Divine Gold and the corresponding conversion Formation Method are required."
Due to the last battle fueled by destiny’s blood sacrifice, the majority of the Gu Yuan Tribe people now lived within the secret realm, making the entire Tribe City appear sparsely populated.
However, Xiao Chen had seen the way the Human Race accumulated its foundation upon his return from the War Secret Realm, and the tribe’s secret realm was a good place to accumulate such a foundation.
The Gu Yuan Tribe, having such convenience, could naturally adopt this approach.
Just as the Celestial Seal King had said, each year they could secretly find some young children from the Entire Border Wilderness Domain, bring them into the secret realm for nurturing, and in the long run, this would undoubtedly become an extremely powerful force.
Besides, the Tribe City now seemed too sparsely populated. Considering that the Bronze Ancient City’s upgrades were finished and its defenses improved, Xiao Chen planned to relocate the tribespeople from the secret realm back to the city to live. This would truly show the vitality and vigor of a tribe.
After all, the roots of the Gu Yuan Tribe lay in the Border Wasteland, and next, they were to take command of the wasteland. Only if the tribe’s people lived under the sky of the Border Wasteland would their connection to this land deepen.
"Besides, there are thirty-six defensive towers that can be built around the ancient city."
Qingling’s following words piqued Xiao Chen’s interest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In almost an instant, within the Bronze Ancient City, a thunderous roar sounded as one bronze tower after another, cool and gleaming, shot up from the ground.
Each tower was a thousand feet high, and at the very top of the towers were defensive platforms.
"Master, as for the weapons atop these towers, you will need to find a way for them!"
Looking at the massive bronze towers that had shot up, each covering a hundred feet and reaching a thousand feet in height, Xiao Chen’s eyes glinted. And these towers didn’t include the massive corner towers at each corner of the ancient city and the corner towers atop the city wall every ten miles!
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. He remembered that Qingling had mentioned the possibility of the Bronze Ancient City evolving continuously, but it required a large amount of Divine Gold and Divine Material.
Now, with the help of the Blood Faint Noble Family’s Void Floating Island, the ancient city had been repaired to eighty percent of its initial state. However, this eighty percent was only of its most initial state.
Despite this, for the current Gu Yuan Tribe, it was more than enough!
"Qingling, I plan to relocate the tribespeople out of the secret realm and settle them in the ancient city. You will re-plan the entire layout of the ancient city," said Xiao Chen.
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Chen spoke his instructions.
"Yes, Master," Qingling obediently replied.
Then Xiao Chen sent a message to the Grand Elder, instructing the tribe people within the ancient city to take refuge in the secret realm. Soon, the entire ancient city was deserted.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the walls of the Bronze Ancient City shot up to three hundred feet, completely enclosing the city and making it so that warriors passing by could no longer catch a glimpse of anything inside.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next moment, the entire Bronze Ancient City underwent earth-shattering changes, undergoing a rebirth.
Except for the Bronze Ancient Tower at Xiao Chen’s feet, which was located in the center, the Star palaces, and the Stone Garden that housed the fate-fortune cauldron, everything else was evolving anew.
All sorts of halls sprang up around the ancient city, scattered in various locations, seemingly chaotic but in fact arranged in some indescribable pattern of mysteries, serving as the basis for the great formation.
The Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Array!
"Master, the current Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Array with one hundred and eight halls as its foundation has not been fully restored. Right now, only seventy-two of these halls have been repaired," Qingling reported.
Following Qingling’s words, Xiao Chen’s eyes swept across the one hundred and eight different types of halls that had appeared in the ancient city. Although all the halls had appeared, only seventy-two of them had star crystals shimmering with flowing light.
"Seventy-two halls as the foundation form a sky-defying array that can imprison warriors of the Near Monarch Expert level," Qingling’s voice rang out again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately after, several ancient mountains appeared along the length of the ancient city, yet the mountains were bare and even glistened faintly. There were thirty-six in total, and at Xiao Chen’s signal, each was no more than a hundred feet tall.
Soon, under Xiao Chen’s guidance, various dwellings and towers started to form within the city, with streets that were wide and crossed each other like a chessboard.
The dwellings and towers were supported by the one hundred and eight halls, distributed throughout the ancient city, with architectures that were simple and majestic, as if mighty beasts were crouching there.
There were also storehouses, martial arts venues, and various ancillary buildings, enough to accommodate all the tribe people of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Of course, some of the main tribal halls of the Gu Yuan Tribe remained unchanged, and some even increased in size. For instance, the War God Temple was now given a direct jurisdiction of twenty miles within the city by Xiao Chen.
Several hours later, Xiao Chen, looking at the new appearance of the Gu Yuan Tribe, nodded in satisfaction.
Soon after, the Grand Elder and Third Elder emerged from the secret realm and, upon seeing the transformed tribe city, remained shocked for quite a while before walking toward Xiao Chen, standing under the central Bronze Tower.
"Greetings, Chieftain!" they both said to Xiao Chen with respect.
"There is no need for excess formalities, Elders," Xiao Chen uttered, gesturing for the two Elders to rise.
"Elders, arrange for the tribe people in the secret realm to all move back to the tribe for residence. Now that our tribe has the strength to protect them, we will next conduct the tribe’s offering and take charge of the Border Wasteland. It is only by living on this piece of heaven and earth that one can truly receive the gift of the earth."
"Understood!"
"Additionally, I intend to enter closed-door cultivation to make a breakthrough. When Blood Fiend Elder emerges, direct him to take charge of the Crystal Stone Mountain Range; there is no need to wait for my return. Once Zhen Nan City is built, I will visit in person," Xiao Chen instructed further.
After arranging tribal affairs, Xiao Chen’s figure flickered and he entered the Mountain River Seal, leaving the relocation of the tribe people back to the ancient city in the hands of the two Elders.
Within the Mountain River Seal,
Xiao Chen didn’t begin his seclusion just yet but started to examine the gains from the battle at the Crystal Stone Mountain Range.
The copious resources from setting up the temporary Void Array, despite the loss due to the self-destruction of the half-monarch of the Blood Clan, the void crystals were depleted, but the divine materials remained intact.
"Master, we have a total of thirty-two thousand intact Void Crystals and about fifty thousand broken pieces if combined," Luli appeared and reported the harvest to Xiao Chen.
"There are also about two thousand catties of various Divine Materials and Divine Ingredients, with ordinary Black Iron Divine Gold being the majority, accounting for eight-tenths of them, presumably used for constructing the Formation Base. The rest include ninety-nine pillars forged from Golden Divine Spirit, as well as Divine Material Cold Iron Sand and Divine Material Cloud Mud," she continued.
Then pausing, Luli flew up in front of Xiao Chen, opening her small hands and presenting to him as if offering a treasure, and said, "The most important is this."
Within her small hands was something silver-white and translucent, a hint of ineffability constantly emerging. This was the space itself forming and dissolving illusions, astonishingly mystical.
"Divine Gold Void!"
Looking at the silver-white crystalline beans in Luli’s hand, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but exclaim loudly.
Divine Gold Void was undoubtedly one of the most top-notch divine golds. The small handful that Luli held was valued more than all the previously mentioned divine golds and materials combined, and its worth vastly surpassed them.
Totaling ninety-nine grains, the collection was no bigger than half a fist, but its value was immeasurable, even sufficient to forge a king’s weapon!
