Chapter 956: Chapter 939: Tribal Sacrifice, Disciple’s Request!

Boom!

The soil and stones in the Dead Land continuously exploded, and beneath the blasted soil lay inky, black mud that, despite the passage of many years, had not dried up.

Roar!

At this moment, the Fire Dragon roared in the sky above, and on the ground below, billows of shadow energy were drawn out, turning to ashes under the Supreme Yang Blaze, with even sharp, fierce cries endlessly emitting.

In lands filled with Chaotic Burial Pits, Cold Darkness naturally gathers, and it is normal for some unusual events to occur.

Watching the Fire Dragon roar within the Dead Land, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but be filled with laughter. With lower-grade spirit crystals supplying energy, the might of this Fire Dragon was comparable to a War Soldier of the Nine Heavens.

That’s not to say the Fire Dragon possessed such combat strength, as there was no comparability between the two. The Fire Dragon’s ability was to banish Cold Darkness and Shadow Energy, and the spontaneous Ultimate Yang Blaze was a natural bane of these evil energies.

The more intense the Shadow Energy and Cold Darkness, the more mystical the Fire Dragon Lamp became!

With four such Fire Dragon Lamps in hand, Xiao Chen had already contemplated how to place them—inside the Corner Towers at the four corners of the ancient city.

With all four Fire Dragon Lamps fully activated, they could easily cover the entire Tribe, leaving no nook for Cold Darkness to hide within the Tribe.

Even the warriors of the Tribe, or those naughty children who ventured into the mountain forest dangerous area, would have any Cold Darkness brought back with them upon returning to the Tribe detected by the Fire Dragon Lamp.

The most important part was that it could also serve as an early warning for the Gu Yuan Tribe. Like the Ghost Tribe and Blood Clan, with their inherently cold bodies, if they tried to sneak into the Gu Yuan Tribe, they would surely be sensed by the Fire Dragon, definitely a treasure for enhancing the Tribe’s defenses.

Now it seemed that spending four lower-grade spirit crystals to acquire four Fire Dragon Lamps was indeed a treasure find!

Buzz!

Quickly, Xiao Chen stretched out his arm across the void toward the Fire Dragon dancing a mile away, and immediately, a violent and scorching energy surged.

The flames converged, and Xiao Chen grasped the Fire Dragon Lamp in his hand, then turned and walked toward the center of the Tribe, intending to install it within the Bronze Ancient City of the Tribe, having confirmed the lamp’s power.

And thus, a swath of Dead Land, nearly a hundred miles at the edges, seemed as though it had been plowed over.

Upon Xiao Chen’s return to the Tribe, dragons’ roars echoed from the Corner Towers upon the Tribe’s city walls.

The Tribe People inside felt a wave of warmth assail them, making their entire bodies shiver, with some even pausing their work, tilting their heads to sense the phenomenon before resuming their busyness.

Whirring!

All at once, black smoke rose by the hundreds within the Tribe, quickly dissolving into the heaven and earth. Most of this black smoke originated from the naughty, undisciplined children of the Tribe, who didn’t know when they had carried this shadow energy on them.

By the City Gate, warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe came and went, among them a member of the Blood Refining Realm, who upon approaching the gate immediately trembled as a sharp, terrifying shriek erupted from him.

Then, despite seeing a phantom rising from the Tribesman’s body, it dissipated in the blink of an eye.

Atop the City Wall, Xiao Chen looked on at the events that unfolded within the Tribe, a smile forming on his face. Within a few breaths, all residual Cold Darkness within the Tribe had vanished into nothingness.

And this was merely the simplest effect of the Fire Dragon Lamp. Having Qingling integrate the Fire Dragon Lamp with the Bronze Ancient City transformed the four lamps atop the city’s corners into the Tribe’s early warning system.

Meanwhile, to the west of the Bronze, there were thirty-six Bronze Towers as tall as a thousand yards, but atop these towers, the space was empty, and Xiao Chen would need to find some attack treasures to equip them.

Soon after, Xiao Chen returned to Blue Stone Garden.

"Husband."

This time, Mu Qing returned to the garden to personally prepare a meat soup for Xiao Chen, while the little Pegasus eagerly followed behind Mu Qing, its golden eyes fixed unwaveringly on the aromatic food cauldron, oblivious to Xiao Chen’s return.

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but crack a slight smile, such moments of warmth were truly rare.

However, Nianhua was still in seclusion, having refined a ninth-grade Towering Realm, and was eager to advance her realm, which was quite straightforward. Thus, she was determined to make a breakthrough to an even higher level before emerging from seclusion.

Fortunately, no Tribal Elders came to interrupt, allowing him to enjoy this pleasant meal with Mu Qing.

In fact, the two ate very little, as the food was mostly devoured by the little Pegasus beside them, which was now hugging the food cauldron and gulping down the soup, leading Xiao Chen to pat its big head, much to the little Pegasus’s dissatisfaction, eliciting a light chuckle from Mu Qing.

Yet, this moment of warmth didn’t last long, as all the Tribal Elders arrived together, breaking the calm of Blue Stone Garden.

"We pay respects to the Clan Leader!"

"Greetings, Master!"

The Grand Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, Ding Shan, Xiao Bangtu, Luo Yun Mountain, among others, hall masters from the several grand halls, Yun Wei, Huang Xiaotian, and a few disciples, all appeared in the Blue Stone Garden.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Chen signaled for them to rise and then spoke indifferently, "Come to the Tribal Grand Hall."

A moment later, in the Tribal Grand Hall, many elders sat down, and Xiao Chen’s gaze swept across them. Without delay, he spoke, "Elders have come together, I wonder what the matter is?"

Hearing Xiao Chen’s question, the many elders in the hall exchanged glances before the Grand Elder stood up and spoke.

"Chieftain, after months of recuperation and ample resources, the tribe has fully digested the benefits obtained from the Blood Sacrifice Battle. Whether it’s ordinary tribe people or the Warrior War Soldiers, their strength has indeed improved substantially."

Xiao Chen nodded, the Grand Elder’s words rang true. Now in the hall, aside from the Grand Elder and the Third Elder, all warriors had significantly improved.

"As the chieftain has ascended to the Legendary Realm, our Gu Yuan Tribe should rightfully ascend to the status of the Legendary Marquis Department, to take over the guardianship of the Border Wasteland and to replace the Human Ancestral Court in overseeing these lands. Therefore, I plan to hold a tribal group sacrifice in one month’s time."

Xiao Chen, without hesitation, addressed the Tribal Elders.

"At that time, we will invite the neighboring tribes of the Border Wasteland to witness, and also move the Stele of Ten Thousand Tribes from the Ancestral Court to our Gu Yuan Tribe."

"Reporting to the Chieftain, the ritual implements required for the sacrifices have been nearly prepared, but we have yet to gather all the offerings!"

The Third Elder quickly voiced his concerns.

"As for the offerings, I will find a way. However, we cannot neglect the ritual implements as this time our Gu Yuan Tribe will be beckoning the fortunes of the Border Wasteland. These implements must withstand the pressure!"

As he said this, Xiao Chen’s expression grew serious. This was no ordinary sacrifice; this time, the Gu Yuan Tribe was not only ascending to the status of a Legendary Tribe but was also taking charge of the whole Border Wasteland, sharing both its glory and its risks with these lands.

To take charge of these lands and build roots anew, it was also necessary to pass the scrutiny of the land itself.

Xiao Chen paused and then continued, "Divine Weapon Hall, recast all the divine metal and divine materials of the clan into the ritual implements once more, and be absolutely thorough."

As for the offerings, naturally, they would be other races, and moreover, those with considerable strength. Outside the Void, in the mist of Moya, these past few days saw several unlucky beings from other races run afoul. Under Xiao Chen’s orders, the spirits of Moya spared them from being drained of their flesh and blood.

"Understood!" The Divine Weapon Hall’s master, Xiao Lin, quickly responded.

"To hold a tribal sacrifice and take charge of the Border Wasteland, what comes next is seeing how our Gu Yuan will protect these lands. Gu Yuan and the Border Wasteland will be as one, sharing both honor and disgrace. If the Border Wasteland thrives, and its fortune prospers, naturally our Gu Yuan Tribe will be strong."

Saying this, Xiao Chen’s gaze swept over the hall and he spoke again, "But if in the coming times a war ensues against other tribes and the Border Wasteland is severely damaged, with its fortune declining, our Gu Yuan Tribe will naturally be affected as well. Elders, what are your thoughts?"

"Chieftain." After a few moments, Ding Shan stood up, and now after cultivating in the special space-time within the Mountain River Seal, he was just one step away from the seventh heaven.

"Currently, the strong ones from other races in the Border Wasteland have been annihilated, even if there are remnant forces, the strongest among them are merely of ordinary Towering Realm, and thus negligible. Now the strong ones from other races can only come from the surrounding regions, Luo Long Mountain Range, and beyond the Void.

"Thus, subordinates believe we can follow the example of Zhen Nan City by building fortresses in several strategic locations of the Border Wasteland. We can station our tribe’s strong ones to oversee them, complemented by some War Soldiers, and also recruit wandering fighters from the Border Wasteland to guard these places."

"The strong ones of our tribe shall patrol the Void to prevent the descent of other races’ strong ones!"

"Internally, we will clear out the Border Wasteland and carve out safe passages, forging connections between tribes!"

At this, the Grand Elder stood up and added, "We can encourage the vagrant strong ones in the Border Wasteland to gather nomads and establish their own tribes. The Gu Yuan will bestow Martial Dao methods based on the number and strength of the nomads each assembles."

"The Chieftain can disperse some of the young warriors from our War God Temple who have reached the Towering Realm to establish tribes. They are young, brave enough to fight, and have been nurtured by our Gu Yuan Tribe. In the future, they will always have a sense of connection to the Gu Yuan, thereby we can gather as many wandering people from the Great Wasteland as possible."

The many elders in the hall voiced their opinions one after another, proving that there is strength in numbers.

At this time, the disciples sitting at the back, Huang Xiaotian and Yun Wei, rose and came to the center of the hall, bowing to Xiao Chen and said, "Reporting to Master, your disciples request assistance."

"Wei’er, Xiaotian, what is the issue?"

Looking at his two disciples, Xiao Chen smiled gently. In just a few short years, they had made rapid progress, and while he couldn’t guarantee they would become kings,

their paths would not end here. However, they were indeed sorely lacking in experience and the settling of time.

"Master, as previously mentioned by the elder, we want to build cities in the Border Wasteland to protect the land. So, if the tribe decides to construct the cities, your disciples request to leave the tribe and defend one city each!"

Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s question, Huang Xiaotian and Yun Wei looked at each other and, with gritted teeth, spoke out. They then looked directly at Xiao Chen, awaiting his decision.
