Chapter 966: Chapter 949: Disciple Leaves Seclusion, Soul Power Complete!

Bai Ze Marquis Division.

In the dense birch Ancient Forest, a faint tinge of blood had begun to permeate the air at some unknown time, with Warriors continuously traversing through it.

Some carried huge ferocious beasts on their backs, dragging them towards the gathering place in the center of the tribe’s birch forest, while others, armed with bows, crossbows, and War Sabers, rushed out of the birch forest and headed towards the Desolate Ancient Forest.

"Bai Ye, I heard that in that mysterious Ancient Desolation World, there are many Spiritual Pills and miraculous medicines."

In the birch Ancient Forest, a voice tinged with envy could faintly be heard. It belonged to a group of over ten Warriors, led by a Warrior who had just advanced into the Towering Realm, as evidenced by the slightly unstable Qi around him.

The voice came from a Warrior at the Blood Refining Realm Perfection behind him, his eyes gleaming with envy.

"Brothers, you need not envy me. I possess an Ancient Desolation Order, which allows me to enter the Ancient Desolation World and obtain Spiritual Pills and miraculous medicines, just as if you were entering yourselves, right?"

The leading Warrior laughed heartily, prompting agreement from those behind him; however, they all understood that the benefits of personally entering the Ancient Desolation World were greater. Alas, without the Ancient Desolation Order, there was no way to enter.

Bai Ye had just happened to obtain an Ancient Desolation Order by a twist of fate, entered the Ancient Desolation World and after his return, was promoted to the Towering Realm. Although there was originally some disparity in strength among them, and all were ranked in the Blood Refining Realm, Bai Ye had ascended in a single step.

Alas, the Ancient Desolation Order was hard to come by. Ever since the first batch of Warriors returned from the Ancient Desolation World and spread the news, the Orders had become exceedingly rare!

And the subsequent backlash was that the different tribes across the regions were massively purged.

Chi!

Through the Void, a Qingyu Desolate Eagle, sixty cubits in size, screeched, instantly shaking the surrounding hundred miles of forest.

On the back of the Desolate Eagle, the fourth prisoner of the Qiu family stood, circling over the birch Ancient Forest, naturally drawing the attention of the Warriors of the Bai Ze Marquis Division.

"Where is the Leader of the Bai Ze Marquis Division!"

The sudden roar astonished all the Warriors of the Bai Ze Marquis Division; it was indeed audacious for a Warrior to behave so recklessly above the territory of the Bai Ze.

"Our Leader has decreed that our Gu Yuan Clan be promoted to Legendary Marquis Department, take charge of the Border Wilderness, and has summoned the distinguished Warriors of Bai Ze Marquis Division, including Venerable Heze and Venerable Bai Shi, to attend the sacrificial ceremony at the Gu Yuan Clan!"

"Bai Ze obeys!" Soon afterwards, the voice of the Bai Ze Clan Leader, Venerable Heze, rang out from the birch forest.

"The Envoy has worked hard. Our Bai Ze Marquis Division has prepared medicinal meals; why not rest for a moment?"

Shortly, the Grand Elder Jing Gang of the Bai Ze Marquis Division appeared, his face full of smiles, speaking to the fourth prisoner upon the Desolate Eagle.

"Haha, thanks for the kind offer from Bai Ze, but my clan has a command to deliver. I need to pass on the decree from our Clan Leader. We’ll meet another time!"

The fourth prisoner laughed as he declined and then, with a long cry from the Desolate Eagle, they headed into the distance.

"Clan Leader."

Within a few breaths, the smile on Jing Gang’s face turned into a bitter smile.

"Gu Yuan..."

The Clan Leader of the Bai Ze Marquis Division also sighed deeply, then fell silent.

The Heavenly Terrace, Crystal Stone, Sky Lake Lamp Marquis Division, and high-quality Battle Divisions like Xuanqing all experienced the arrival of the Gu Yuan Clan’s Envoy. Suddenly, the entire Border Wilderness was once again stirred up.

However, what truly exhilarated the Warriors of the Border Wasteland was the decree that spread throughout the Border Wilderness alongside the Gu Yuan Clan’s Envoy!

"Gu Yuan, commanded by the Emperor, grants lordship over Border Wasteland, in charge of a region, wishes to appoint various divisions; those in the Martial Arts Tower realm or higher, rangers, unaffiliated cultivators, and warriors can gather their kinsmen, establish clans and expand territories. At the time of the Gu Yuan’s clan sacrifice, Divine Objects will be bestowed to assist them in gathering fortune!"

Granting divisions and lordship, the Gu Yuan Clan will bestow Divine Objects, aiding rangers and unaffiliated cultivators in establishing clans!

The decree united Warriors of the Border Wilderness, old generation warriors, rangers, and unaffiliated cultivators, all who had been silent in the world for a long time, rushing towards the Gu Yuan Clan in anticipation!

Thorn Castle.

Boundless Mountain.

...

Places congregate strength equal to or surpassing middle-tier and high-tier Battle Divisions, eagerly moved towards the Gu Yuan Clan.

They possessed the strength of middle or high-tier Battle Divisions among humans, but because they lacked Divine Objects, they could not genuinely establish clans and expand territories.

Now that the Gu Yuan Clan was to bestow Divine Objects, this was indeed a monumental opportunity, one that they could not afford to miss after waiting for thousands of years!

Gu Yuan Clan.

In a hidden temporal space within the world of mountains and rivers, silver-white divine brilliance flickered, where several figures sat cross-legged, immersed in their cultivation.

Weng!

Suddenly, a figure stepped out from the silver-white spatial barrier, instantly causing a sword’s hum to resonate throughout the space.

The sharp energy surged, even slicing the air around it. Jian Jinghong, who had just broken through, seemed unable to control his Combat Qi smoothly within his body, and it took a full quarter of an hour before the sharp momentum around him gradually settled down.

Venerable Realm!

At this moment, he had finally ascended to the Venerable Realm through seclusion. What seemed like just a few days was actually two to three years in this particular space and time.

The reason he broke through before his fellow disciples was because he practiced swordsmanship, and his will was as firm as ever.

Not only that. Although it appeared that he had skipped two levels to ascend to the Venerable Realm, there wasn’t much sense of emptiness in Jian Jinghong’s Combat Qi within his body.

Buzz!

Then appeared Bu Canghai and Xiong Sheng, among the disciples, Bu Canghai’s soul was strange, having already reached the Venerable Realm, while Xiong Sheng, having received the true transmission from Xiao Chen, followed the ancient path of physical embodiment as emperor, his body stable.

Soon, Luli appeared and, looking at Jian Jinghong and the other two who appeared earlier, conveyed in a sprightly voice,

"You both skipped two levels and ascended to the Venerable. Once you leave this place, you will be subjected to heavenly tribulations due to the reaction of heaven and earth. For this, I will shield your strength to conceal the heavenly secrets, allowing you to first pass the fifth-layer heavenly tribulation before facing the sixth-layer celestial fire tribulation!"

Jian Jinghong and Bu Canghai accepted the command. The might of the heavenly tribulations instilled awe in people, especially since passing two heavenly tribulations simultaneously was not unheard of among warriors in the Desolate Land. Some even broke through three layers simultaneously, with the tribulations from the final three layers combined and descended together.

But all of those were below the sixth layer, and no warrior had ever been heard of who successfully transcended by combining a sixth layer celestial fire tribulation!

Celestial fire tribulation was different from previous tribulations. The celestial fire scorched the soul, and if one attempted to pass two celestial tribulations at once, the divine soul would be dazed, and the body subjected to thunder tribulation would be nearly annihilated.

Subsequently, Tian Fang, Huang Xiaotian, Long Tian, and Kun Peng successively broke out of seclusion. With the help of Luli, they concealed their own vital energies and began their tribulations.

Thousands of miles from the Gu Yuan Clan, the Desolate Mountain Forest suddenly became covered with thunder clouds, and the sound of thunder was incessant. Even before the last thunder tribulation had dissipated, thick black clouds once again obscured the sky vault, causing the many warriors entering and exiting Border Wasteland City to be extremely alarmed.

This thundering sound continued intermittently for three whole days before it finally quieted down, and some warriors ventured into the Desolate Ancient Forest after the thunder tribulation to explore.

The hundred-mile land had become utterly unrecognizable, leaving behind only desolation without a trace of life, filled with a thick aura of destruction!

And now, Xiao Chen, his body rippling with dense Soul Power, had finally absorbed the vast Soul Power with the help of Divine Soul Pills. His Soul Power had even exceeded the perfection level of the Legendary Realm.

However, absorbing too much ownerless Soul Power also caused some mottling in the operation of his divine soul, and his thoughts became obscure.

In front of him were two empty White Jade Bottles. He had just swallowed two Divine Soul Pills consecutively.

The Divine Soul Pills not only enhanced the soul but also possessed the power to calm and clarify the mind. These mottled Soul Powers caused a myriad of ideas and thoughts to emerge in Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea.

Sizzling!

At that moment, boundless waves arose within Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea, and amidst the waves, an illusory lotus flame rose, beginning to scorch Xiao Chen’s spirit!

Soul Incineration Purification Flame!

This was the last celestial fire that Xiao Chen had subdued when he ascended to the Venerable Realm and experienced the celestial fire tribulation, one of the most mysterious flames between heaven and earth.

The Soul Incineration Purification Flame, using the soul as fuel and turning the divine into smoke, was a kind of flame that could only be ignited by the Soul Power of living beings!

At this moment, the Soul Incineration Purification Flame thrived in Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea; the mottled Soul Power was continuously scorched by the flames, emitting sizzling sounds that originated deep within the soul.

However, this transparent flame had been subdued by Xiao Chen. Although it was scorching the Soul Power, it was also helping Xiao Chen purify the Soul Power. Any Soul Power that had been scorched no longer harbored any stray thoughts.

It was completely purified!

Of course, through such purification, Xiao Chen’s original Soul Power, surpassing the perfection of the Legendary Realm, began to decline. Eventually, the level of Soul Power fell to the Legendary Realm, barely maintaining a state of perfection.

Despite the decline in Soul Power, the power had become pure, retaining only Xiao Chen’s own thoughts!

The next moment, Xiao Chen swallowed another Divine Soul Pill, and immediately, soul light ascended in his Soul Sea. The majestic Soul Power surged forth, starting to replenish his Soul Sea.

The originally falling Soul Power began to recover, while the Soul Incineration Purification Flame transformed into a palm-sized, transparent flame, suspended above the Soul Sea, moving with the ebb and flow of the Soul Sea, no longer as violent as before.

Exhale!

A long while later, Xiao Chen breathed out deeply, opened his eyes, and initially, there was a trace of confusion in his pupils. However, within moments, his eyes gathered divine brillance, becoming resolute.

Legendary Realm perfection of Soul Power!

After resting for a while, Xiao Chen’s eyes again focused on the Altar of King’s Sacrifice; due to the change in Soul Power, Xiao Chen had cut off the previous refining process of the Altar of King’s Sacrifice and sat refining and purifying his Soul Power, unintentionally letting several days pass by.

Buzz!

The purple and gold aura at the brow manifested again, the dense Purple Qi gathering once more above the Altar of King’s Sacrifice, giving rise to purple and gold flames.

Quickly, under the burning of the Purple Flames, the Altar of King’s Sacrifice began to melt, with Xiao Chen gradually splitting it into several small divine artifacts of fortune!
