Chapter 986: Chapter 969: The Spirit of Jian Mu, Crystal Little Dragon!

This hidden secret realm was the very war secret realm where King Bi Xi Department once resided, and now it is attached to the top of the Hollow Void Great Wall.

Of course, like this secret realm attached to the Hollow Void Great Wall, there are many, just like the secret realm where King Chiwen Troop resides, as well as those other human tribal hidden powers that participate in defending the Hollow Void Great Wall.

Just as the Royal Beast Race had not shown themselves, the strength of King Chiwen Troop remained completely unrevealed; both parties seemed to be waiting for the final moment.

"To lure out the Royal Beast Race, we must let the exotic tribes see the possibility of breaking through the Hollow Void Defense Line. Only then will they make up their minds to wager all their strength and break through our human tribe’s defense line in one fell swoop,"

Soon, a Green-clothed King with sparkling eyes spoke out.

The Green-clothed King, who had come together with the Decaying Wood God King, was a human monarch belonging to the East Emperor Palace!

"In this way, perhaps we can give the exotic tribes a big surprise, making them rejoice over nothing!" Upon hearing this, some of the kings immediately realized the plan.

"We must not be careless!" Although King Bi Xi was brimming with murderous intent, he also had a grave expression, and after pausing, he continued, "To tempt the exotic tribes into the trap, it needs to be well planned; otherwise, we will be the ones to suffer the consequences!"

Hearing this, the many kings nodded in agreement. The Hundred Clans of Heaven had proliferated since ancient times; as long as they could pass on their lineage, none were simple. To outwit the exotic tribes required meticulous arrangements; otherwise, the attempt to outmaneuver them could backfire!

Border Wasteland Region.

After intermittent blood rain that lasted two days, it finally ceased, and the blood color in the Sky Vault above gradually faded without notice.

The pervasive Blood Qi created an oppressive feeling in the hearts of many warriors, and equally, for the exotic beasts lurking in the Desolate Mountain Forests, it further provoked their innate savagery!

Over these days, fierce beasts would occasionally burst out of the forests, looking to vent their innate cruelty, causing some tribes in the Border Wasteland Region to suffer attacks by these exotic beasts.

Gu Yuan Tribe, Secret Realm Space.

Towering like mountains, eclipsing the sun, like a heavenly canopy, like a divine tree, it was none other than the Jian Mu Divine Tree!

Chirp!

A golden creature emerged from the vast Jian Mu, darting across the treetops and glistening atop the branches.

With a diameter of a thousand zhang, the tall canopy reached directly to the vault of the Secret Realm Space, standing twenty thousand zhang high, comparable in stature to the Ancient Mountains of the Wilderness Earth!

Three years of nurturance, consuming a vast ocean of Blood Qi, and countless nurturing solutions poured into it, had made the Jian Mu even more majestic.

However, despite this, the Jian Mu was still in its juvenile phase; such Divine Trees have a foundation too profound, worthy of being a legacy species of the Desolate Wilds!

Chirp!

Compared to three years ago, the Spirit of Jian Mu, which had transformed into the image of a nine-heaven Kun Peng, had not changed much; however, its intelligence had become much sharper.

At that moment, a look of cunning flashed across its golden eyes as it snatched a Divine Soul Pill from Xiao Chen’s hand with its beak, then once more swept across the void toward the body of the Jian Mu on the branches above.

Leaving Xiao Chen amused and exasperated, the Spirit of Jian Mu was a unique spirit form that also benefited from elixirs nurturing the spirit, apparently, the Kun Peng transformed by the Spirit of Jian Mu was beginning to understand some human emotional expressions.

After leaving ten Divine Soul Pills for the Spirit of Jian Mu, Xiao Chen left the secret realm; over the years, whenever he had free time, he would do so. The resources consumed to nurture a Divine Tree to the level of a King-class Tree were truly immense.

Moreover, the Gu Yuan Tribe was not only nurturing the Jian Mu, but also the Sky Mending Fruit, Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Wood, and the like, with Qing Jingmu having now transformed into a dedicated Spiritual Wood nurturer.

When Xiao Chen emerged within another secret realm just over ten miles away, the Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy and various resources here were also exceedingly abundant, hundreds of times more than in the outer world.

Roar!

A tender voice sounded, and a water-blue figure crashed toward Xiao Chen!

This was a small dragon less than ten zhang in size. Referred to as a small dragon, but not having fully developed a dragon form yet, it appeared very juvenile!

The water-blue body shimmered with a faint blue divine radiance, like the most beautiful jade sculpture.

However, at the moment, it was more like a chubby little bug, with protruding bumps on its forehead revealing two crystal-clear jade horns, and its paws were equally plump, with even the hard keratin not yet grown in.

No matter how you looked at it, it lacked the majestic dignity of the Dragon Tribe, and was instead extremely adorable.

It threw itself down in front of Xiao Chen, its large water-blue eyes filled with excitement.

Xiao Chen gently patted the little dragon’s big head, which made it quite unhappy. After absorbing enough energy, the little dragon had finally hatched from its egg.

In fact, it could have come into the world a long time ago, but it was initially claimed by other Exotic Beasts, which absorbed its life force, so it only re-emerged into the world after being nourished by the Gu Yuan Tribe.

What Xiao Chen couldn’t figure out, though, was that this Crystal Holy Dragon, indeed a remnant of the Desolate Wilds, had extremely pure Dragon Blood flowing within it, purity that even the mighty Jiao Long would find hard to match.

But since its emergence into the world, despite absorbing an immeasurable amount of energy, there was not the slightest fluctuation of power on this little dragon’s body.

The energy it absorbed simply vanished without a trace once it entered its belly, and Xiao Chen, despite racking his brains, could not find out anything, ultimately letting nature take its course!

After leaving some Elixirs for the water-blue little dragon, Xiao Chen then departed.

Every day, the little dragon devoured a massive amount of Blood Energy; if not for the resources supplied by the Ancient Desolation World, Xiao Chen would not know where to find such a vast amount of resources to support these gluttons.

After leaving seclusion, Xiao Chen made a complete round of inspections within the tribe and then returned to the Tribal Mountain City, satisfied.

It was sunset, with the smoke rising faintly from the tribe. The tribe’s strength naturally allowed the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe to have a peaceful sanctuary amidst the pervasive Blood Qi of the Desolate Land.

In the tribe, little children were running after each other and, even if they ran into other Tribe People, they didn’t mind. This moment was when the women called the little ones to return home, and naturally, the children were dodging and darting about!

Of course, the outcome was, without exception, no matter how they dodged, they were all caught by the ear and dragged back to their homes.

Standing in the center of the tribe, Xiao Chen quietly watched, looking over the entire tribe.

Hu!

A breeze flowed through. Without turning around, the familiar scent immediately let him know who had come.

He pulled the charming figure who had approached from behind into his embrace amid her delicate snort, and Mu Qing’s body, soft and boneless, rested in Xiao Chen’s arms.

With Mu Qing’s strength at the Towering Realm Stage Eight, one could imagine just how formidable she was—naturally, she wouldn’t appear so seemingly frail, but, at this moment, there was no need for martial prowess.

A peacefulness, a warmth, thus emerged between the two.

After a long while, a maternal glow crossed Mu Qing’s face as she nestled against Xiao Chen’s chest and softly said, "Husband, I wonder what our children will be like one day?"

Shifting in Xiao Chen’s embrace, Mu Qing’s somewhat tearful voice continued, "When our two little ones are born, plus that girl Zi Yuan, our Gu Yuan Tribe might become even livelier."

Speaking of Zi Yuan, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Before he had met Zi Yuan, there was the girl Lin Cai Er in the tribe,

but after Zi Yuan arrived, those two witches—one big, one small—caused chaos in the entire tribe.

Now, as Lin Cai Er grew older, while her temperament had become a lot more stable, it was still hard for her to stay put in one place. Originally, she had been in the Hundred Herbs Hall, but now she had run off to the War God Temple.

Fortunately, over these years, she hadn’t caused any major trouble for Xiao Chen and had also become a lot more serious about improving her strength.

"That girl thinks she can sneak out of the tribe unnoticed. I wonder where she is now?" Soon after, Mu Qing said with some concern. As the youngest of their nine disciples, Zi Yuan naturally received a lot of affection from both her husband and her.

"Don’t worry, with the Small Pegasus around, as long as she doesn’t encounter a top demi-king, there won’t be any danger. And with the Eternal Covenant between me and the Small Pegasus, I can sense that this girl should be in the Border Wasteland Southwest Region, with Xiao Tian probably!" Xiao Chen replied upon hearing this.
