The great purple sun soared high into the heavens. Purple Qi came from the east for three thousand kilometers, gracefully sprinkling down.
The violet light immediately attracted the attention of a few cultivators in the human world. In reality, Xiao Chen had returned to the human world in a hurry with Godking Xiu Mu, so he did not pay attention to where they had landed.
This was the southern region of the eastern wastelands of the human world.
Xiao Chen and Godking Xiu Mu had landed in a desolate forest ten thousand kilometers away from the Fiend Burial Ancient City.
The disturbance naturally drew over the experts of the Fiend Burial Ancient City, and they all made their way over. A distance of ten thousand kilometers was nothing to some experts.
It was easy to imagine Godking Xiu Mu's excitement over the descent of providence. Normally, it would be extremely difficult to obtain so much providence. At the very least, one would need to kill a King of the same level. At his level of cultivation, it would be very difficult to kill someone unless they were a Heavenly Layer weaker.
Not to mention that in a situation like this, there was no King who did not have a trump card or two that could save his life.
This time, the Celestial Sacred Elder had taken advantage of the situation!
There were two obscure talismans on the violet-gold star that flickered with light.
Xiu Mu!
It exuded a sense of profoundness, and even more so, an aura of death!
Bzzz!
The thick violet mist all fell towards the two simple talismans, and it immediately shone with violet light. Godking Xiu Mu's title became darker and darker, making it seem extremely mysterious.
"A Titled God King! It's Godking Xiu Mu of our eastern wastelands!"
"There's so much violet mist! Just what level has the Godking's title reached? It's far too terrifying!"
"Just how powerful of a foreign race did he have to kill to obtain such dense violet mist?"
In the dense forests of the surrounding ancient mountains, there were already human martial artists gathered. All of them stared at the purple Qi that filled the sky, dumbfounded. Their eyes were filled with envy!
"It's rumored that Godking Xiu Mu has already reached the peak of the Seventh Heavenly Layer. With the descent of providence, he will soon become an Eighth Heavenly Layer King!"
A gray-robed old man stood alone on the top of an ancient tree among the cultivators. He stared at the violet mist in the sky, and he seemed rather charming.
The old man was the ruler of the Dead Demon Ancient City, the supreme ruler of the hidden force, the Dead Demon Sect.
But very quickly, his gaze shifted to the side that Xiu Mu's gaze was fixated on, looking at Xiao Chen. With this glance, his pupils instantly constricted as if he'd seen a great calamity!
"Looks like what that old fellow You Xiong said was true." Nobody could hear the mumbling voice. Then, everyone fell into silence.
…
At the same time, Xiao Chen also sensed the vast will of fortune spreading down, which belonged to the human race. It was vast and mighty, and just a trace of its aura made people feel great and desolate.
Purple Qi swirled around his Star of Providence. Sensing the dense purple Qi entering his Star of Providence, the seal characters on his Star of Providence became more and more solid.
Huang!
It was vast and ancient, and it emanated a desolate aura that was boundless and ancient.
"This aura …?"
At this moment, Xiao Chen's eyes flickered with surprise. The desolate aura emitted from his Star of Providence had given him a new feeling. It was different from the desolate aura of the wasteland, and it seemed to be even more ancient.
It was as if he'd felt it somewhere before!
The ancient wasteland!
That's right, Xiao Chen instantly reacted. The desolate aura emitted from his Star of Providence was exactly the same as the one he felt in the ancient wasteland.
Ancient, this was the desolation of the past!
What exactly is going on!?
Buzz!
However, before Xiao Chen could start investigating, the Heavens and Earth buzzed. The purple light between his brows shone brightly, and his Star of Providence completely solidified, as if it was cast from purple gold. The Providence Feedback had ended!
Just as he was about to grab hold of the last strand of aura, it gradually shattered in the sky, turning into thousands of strands that scattered toward the wasteland.
However, just at this instant, Xiao Chen felt the surrounding lush vegetation let out an indistinct buzzing sound. Then, the desolate aura completely merged with the earth and disappeared into thin air!
At this moment, Godking Xiu Mu's Star of Providence had also completed its advancement, reaching the level of a higher God King.
Clearly, he was extremely satisfied with this. After a higher God King was peak God King, which was the same level as the palace master of Marquis Palace, God King Sun Punisher.
"Congratulations, Godking. Your Star of Providence has advanced to the level of a higher god, and the Eighth Heavenly Layer is just around the corner!"
After concealing his emotions, Xiao Chen congratulated Godking Xiu Mu.
"Thank you for your assistance this time, Holy Son. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to take down that Eighth Heavenly Layer Feathered Immortal king alone," Godking Xiu Mu was extremely happy and chuckled.
What!?
The conversation between the two was not concealed at all. Immediately, it was heard by the surrounding human cultivators.
An Eighth Heavenly Layer Heavenly King!
The two human experts had actually worked together to slay an Eighth Heavenly Layer Heavenly King!
"All hail the Godking!"
"Greetings, Godking!"
In an instant, the entire mountain was filled with the cries of the human cultivators. Their eyes shone with extreme devotion. To the majority of cultivators, kings were not something they could see.
There was no need to even mention Godkings. A Titled God King was a legendary existence to everyone. Today, they had actually seen two Godkings at the same time!
Godkings had made great contributions to the human race. This was something that had been confirmed by the will of the human race, and there was no room for falsehood. The contributions of Godkings were publicly acknowledged!
Everyone's eyes were filled with respect!
"Alright, I'll leave the matters of the south to you. My God King Title has also been promoted, and the opportunity has come. It's time for me to return to Marquis Palace," Godking Xiu Mu suddenly said to Xiao Chen.
Although he did not say where he was going, Xiao Chen understood that he was definitely going into seclusion to break through to the Eighth Heavenly Layer!
With that, Godking Xiu Mu gestured at the surrounding cultivators before turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon!
"Safe journey, sir Godking!"
Immediately, there was another wave of cheers as the cultivators all bowed in the direction that Godking Xiu Mu had left in.
After everything was settled, Xiao Chen put away the Seal of Mountains and Rivers and returned to the human world. He was naturally going to return to the ancient region of the desolate border.
However, a gray-robed old man appeared before him at this moment!
"Greetings, sir Holy Son!"
The newcomer kept his posture very low as he gestured to Xiao Chen from afar.
"I am from the Beast Burial lineage."
Immediately, Xiao Chen understood what was going on. He had already sensed the lingering intent in the surroundings and learned that he had brought Godking Xiu Mu to the vicinity of the Beast Burial Ancient City in the southern region!
He had heard about the Beast Burial lineage from the Celestial Saber King before, but the current Xiao Chen had a different understanding of the hidden ancient clans.
This was all because of Youxiong Shouguang's actions when Wei Yunwei broke through to become a king. The hidden clans were not completely useless.
The King of the Beast Burial lineage before him was a Sixth Heavenly Layer King. He could be said to be an expert second only to Youxiong Shouguang of the You Xiong imperial family in the southern region!
"So it's the Lord of the Beast Burial lineage."
Xiao Chen's voice rang out. "May I ask why the Lord of the Beast Burial has stopped me?"
"A few days ago, Brother Xiong Wang came to my Beast Burial lineage and said that the Holy Son is the hope of the southern region's rise. Since we've met here today, I sincerely invite the Holy Son to my Beast Burial Ancient City for a chat!"
Xiao Chen did not refuse. He wanted to see just what the Lord of the Beast Burial lineage was planning!
The Beast Burial Ancient City!
It was an ancient city that had existed for several tens of thousands of years. It was extremely prosperous and had many cultivators. There was a barrier in the depths of the city, so it was no wonder that outsiders did not know about the existence of the Beast Burial lineage!
Two people sat across from each other in a stone pavilion within the barrier. The table was filled with spirit energy and was filled with spirit fruits.
"Pardon me for inviting the Holy Son here, but I have something to discuss with you."
Finally, the Lord of the Beast Burial lineage got to the point.
"Not long ago, Brother Xiong Wang came to the Beast Burial City and told me that the Holy Son is going to build a Palace of Gods of War. I wonder if the Beast Burial lineage can join in?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's interest was piqued. It seemed that not only had his attitude changed, but the hidden aristocratic families had also changed very quickly. They had gone from being hostile to seeking cooperation. This was a huge turnaround!
When Xiong Shouguang left, he had personally told him that the hidden aristocratic families would give him a satisfactory answer. It seemed like that was the case now!
"May I know how the Beast Burial lineage can join?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Saint Son, I've heard that you've not only established the Palace of War, but you've also established branches in various regions. Can you build one in my Dead Demon Ancient City? Although the Southern Region's Martial Dao is considered prosperous, there are too many geniuses in the Human Race!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen understood immediately. He understood what the Lord of the Beast Burial lineage meant. If a branch of the Palace of Gods of War was built in the Beast Burial Ancient City, then the Beast Burial lineage would be in charge and send geniuses to the Palace of Gods of War every once in a while!
"Alright!"
In the next moment, Xiao Chen agreed.
The Lord of the Beast Burial Lineage was stunned and almost couldn't react. He had expected that Xiao Chen would try to stop him.
He had even prepared some excuses, but he didn't expect Xiao Chen to agree just like that!
Looking at the Lord of the Beast Burial Lineage's expression, Xiao Chen could guess what was going on. This wasn't as simple as building a branch of the Palace of Gods of War. It was about spreading martial arts to the world and teaching martial arts.
Obviously, the hidden aristocratic families saw the benefits behind this. However, to Xiao Chen, this was nothing!
If the Palace of Gods of War covered the entire human world, the amount of merit would be enormous. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of them joining. As long as he made the pie bigger, there wouldn't be enough for everyone!
After all, no matter how strong the Gu Yuan Tribe was, they could only take care of their own territories. He couldn't wait for the entire human world to be filled with branches of the Palace of Gods of War!
That way, the amount of merit would be even greater. Moreover, with Wei Yunwei around, the distribution of the power of Karmic Luck would be decided by the Gu Yuan Tribe!
More importantly, if the entire southern region of the Eastern Wilderness was filled with branches of the Palace of Gods of War, it would be equivalent to the Gu Yuan Tribe unifying the southern region!
