Chapter 957: Chapter 940: Constructing the Path to the City - Trade Commences!

[The backend was inaccessible, so the update is twenty minutes late—my apologies!]

Gazing at the two disciples kneeling on the ground in the Great Hall, Xiao Chen remained silent. Now, among his several key disciples, apart from the youngest, the little girl Zi Yuan, the rest were capable of standing on their own.

Eaglets must eventually soar across the sky vault!

A few breaths later, Xiao Chen spoke, "Is this the consensus among all of you brothers and sisters?"

Looking at Xiao Chen as he turned his gaze towards them, Huang Xiaotian and Yun Wei had firm expressions, showing no sign of retreat.

"Master, throughout these years, Wei’er has always been sheltered under your wing. I’m fully aware of your care and affection. However, now that Wei’er has the strength to protect herself, I certainly cannot always cower within the tribe," said Yun Wei.

Yun Wei’s voice resounded, her figure having grown in the span of several years. Combined with her insight into the Dao of Fate, she resembled a celestial maiden untouched by the mundane world. Other warriors only needed to glimpse her once to find her unforgettable.

It’s undeniable that the mysteries of heaven and earth have graced us with such a spirited being. Even up to this day, taking Yun Wei as his disciple was an incredibly fortuitous event for Xiao Chen.

Besides Xiao Chen himself, even with Mu Qing of the Gu Yuan Tribe, who possessed the regressed ancestral blood of a king, Yun Wei’s talent dwarfed his in comparison. Born with the destiny upon her, she possessed a talent even more mystical than that of the King’s Bloodline.

Likewise, the many elders in the hall were all deeply shaken when they looked at Yun Wei. Xiao Chen’s other disciples had exceptional talents, traceable to some extent, but facing Yun Wei surpassed their imagination.

Currently enveloped by destiny, purple qi twined around Yun Wei, and with every gentle step, those with impure thoughts who laid eyes on her would feel a chill in their hearts.

"Step down, this matter will be decided by the clan after further deliberation," Xiao Chen’s voice rang out again after a moment.

Thereafter, Yun Wei and her companion respectfully bowed and returned to their seats.

Xiao Chen’s voice promptly resounded once more, filling the entire Great Hall.

"The elders have put forth a very feasible idea about building cities to defend our territory. The Border Wasteland will be the noble land of our Gu Yuan Tribe in the future—we must strengthen our control and not govern as loosely as the Ancestral Court does now."

Pausing for a moment to ponder, Xiao Chen continued, "The Border Wasteland is filled with a succession of Ancient Mountains and Dangerous Lands, which hinder the connections between tribes. Opening up passages between clans will also aid the Gu Yuan Tribe in reinforcing our control over the Border Wasteland."

"Elder Ding," Ding Shan stood up and bowed in response.

"The responsibility of opening paths across the Border Wasteland and its territories will be entrusted to the War Master Hall. Deploy our Strong Ones to eliminate the dangerous Evil Beasts along the way and clear out the Dangerous Lands."

"Additionally, the Ancestral Court holds the Kunyu Complete Map of our Border Wasteland, detailing all the dangerous regions, mountain ranges, and tribal locations. The chief will borrow it to hand over to you."

"This subordinate will ensure that all the paths are opened up!" Ding Shan accepted the order.

"As for building the city, the elders need to conduct thorough investigations to determine where exactly to build, how many to construct, and which strategic points to defend."

Immediately after, Xiao Chen’s gaze swept across the hall before he asserted, "Elders, collaborate with Elder Ding to open up the paths in the Border Wasteland and decide where the cities should be built."

Once that matter was discussed, Xiao Chen’s gaze rested upon an elder—Qing Jingmu.

"Elder Qing, how goes your research into the secret method of cultivating the Divine Tree with the God Wood Cultivation Liquid?" Xiao Chen asked, for it was the secret cultivation method for the Divine Tree Jianmu he had exchanged for in the Eastern Emperor Domain with the intention of nurturing the Divine Tree within the tribe.

Such a Divine Tree had the potential to grow into a King-level Tribe’s Divine Tree; if they could nurture it, then the Gu Yuan Clan would possess a Divine Tree of royal stature.

"Chieftain, I have thoroughly studied that particular cultivation method for nurturing Divine Trees and Spiritual Wood, which indeed is an extremely precious secret. However, creating the liquid requires consuming a large amount of Foreign Blood Essence," the elder explained.

Continuing, Elder Qing added, "Using the blood essence from several Monster Cow of the Heavy Building Realm and formulating it with the secret method, I produced an exceptional liquid. Surprisingly, it increased the growth rate of an ordinary Heavenly Grade Spirit Root by a factor of five."

"Good!" Upon hearing this, a glint of excitement flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes, as the cultivation method indeed proved to be effective. Xiao Chen then instructed, "We will soon have more Foreign Blood Essence, and by then, I will need Elder Qing to put some extra effort into it."

"Certainly!" With that assurance, Qing Jingmu returned to his seat.

The clan meeting, which lasted several hours, soon adjourned. Xiao Chen then swiftly moved towards the Human Ancestral Court of Border Wasteland City, but he was back within the tribe in just an hour, carrying a huge sand table that served as the Kunyu Complete Map. He handed it over to Ding Shan and numerous Tribal Elders of his clan.

The Border Wasteland’s terrain and tribe layout were mapped out clearly on the sand table, allowing the tribal elders to find ways to forge paths that could connect more tribes, and to construct cities capable of defending greater territories.

A day later, Nianhua emerged from seclusion, reaching the pinnacle of the seventh heaven at the Towering Realm, a leap that made her one of the tribe’s top warriors.

Ancient Desolation World!

"Husband, are we about to open the world of the Gu Yuan Clan?"

Mu Qing also rushed over, standing to the left and right of Xiao Chen at the trading site of the Ancient Desolate Hall; the space divided into different sections, each becoming its own separate chamber!

"Indeed, the time to open it has come," Xiao Chen nodded upon hearing this and gently embraced his two wives. Although there were no others present, Mu Qing’s cheeks still blushed crimson.

"Luli, convey the message to the warriors who possess the Ancient Ruins Tokens. Tell them the Ancient Desolation World is opening!"

"Yes, Master!" Luli fluttered her wings, circling Xiao Chen repeatedly, and immediately understood, answering the command.

Hum, hum, hum!

At that moment, Luli, who had been flitting about, froze in mid-air, and her entire body suddenly shimmered with a green light.

In fact, this green light, tending more towards a green divine brilliance with an eternal and undying aura, made Xiao Chen feel lost, as if the flow of time had no effect on Luli.

The green divine brilliance had dots of stars shining within, mesmerizing to behold.

"Proclaim across all the territories of the Human Realm, effective immediately, the Ancient Desolation World has completed its evolution. The site for trade is now open, any bearer of the Ancient Ruins Token may enter the Ancient Desolation World and participate in trading."

Luli’s words, in an instant, manifested within the Soul Seas of those warriors who held an Ancient Ruins Token.

Any warrior who had bound the Ancient Ruins Token with their blood received Luli’s words directly imprinted into their minds.

Xiao Chen had scattered Ancient Ruins Tokens across more than ten Human Race Territories in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wasteland, with nearly two million warriors obtaining them. Even if only half of these warriors entered, there would still be a million warriors.

This number could rival that of a large tribe, and these warriors from various great regions entering the Ancient Desolation World would undoubtedly find treasures present.

Purple Gold Domain!

This tribe, where the Purple Gold King Tribe rose and fell, still had legendary marquis departments pressing down on it, despite its decline.

Within the Purple Gold Domain, there are more than a dozen large cities where Xiao Chen naturally scattered the Ancient Ruins Tokens.

Outside Purple Ancient City.

In the Desolate Mountain Forest, a skinny youth dripped blood onto an iron rod in his hand. In front of him lay a two-star evil beast defeated on the ground.

Aside from the corpse of the evil beast, there lay a dozen foreign race bodies strewn about; most of these foreigners were at the Bone Tempering Realm, and their leader appeared to be a Blood Refining Realm cow demon of the demonic tribe, with astonishing defense power, yet its skull was shattered by the iron rod in the youth’s hand.

Gazing at the ruins and debris scattered around him, the youth’s eyes were calm, showing no emotion as a token appeared in his hand.

Hum!

In an instant, the token emitted a green radiance, the corpses on the ground were collected up in a flash, and even the two-star exotic beast did not escape.

"Although I cannot hunt and kill stronger foreign races, in these past days, thousands of foreigners have died by my hand. I’ve even sneak-attacked and killed more than a dozen in the Blood Refining Realm and a wounded Monster Cow of the Towering Realm. This should have allowed me to accumulate a substantial amount of blood energy. Ancient Desolation World, don’t disappoint me!"

The youth caressed the Ancient Ruins Token in his hand, his eyes filled with a glint of hope.

"Proclaim across all the territories of the Human Realm, effective immediately, the Ancient Desolation World has completed its evolution. The site for trade is now open, any bearer of the Ancient Ruins Token may enter the Ancient Desolation World and participate in trading."

Just then, these words echoed in the youth’s mind, causing him to stiffen suddenly before his eyes filled with ecstasy.

Similarly, the Ancient Ruins Token conveyed information about the Ancient Desolation World, allowing the youth to understand its layout even before entering the world.
