The arrogant attitude of the Black Mountain Tribe soon spread throughout the entire Gu Yuan Tribe. Everyone, from the elderly to the annoyance of the Black Mountain Tribe, were filled with indignation at the conditions proposed by the Black Mountain Tribe. Of course, there were also some people who felt that it was okay to sacrifice some people in exchange for the safety of the tribe.
Of course, as the tribe leader, Xiao Chen did not express his opinion, so everyone could only discuss it in private.
The threat of the Black Mountain Tribe also brought a sense of crisis to the Gu Yuan Tribe. Some of the sloppy youngsters in the tribe who did not want to make progress also became much more diligent. In short, most of the people in the tribe had gathered together at this moment. This was a result that Xiao Chen did not expect.
"Looks like I have to prepare a big gift to thank the Black Mountain Tribe."
Although Xiao Chen said those words of gratitude, he did not feel the slightest bit grateful.
Xiao Chen was happy to see the whole tribe united. After all, he had to first stabilize the internal situation before dealing with foreign enemies. Only with internal stability could he do his best to fight against foreign enemies.
"Just what kind of world is this?
… White clouds turn to blue dogs, the affairs of the world are unpredictable. "
After returning to his residence and looking at the empty stone house, Xiao Chen suddenly said such an irrelevant sentence.
At the same time, an ancient bronze seal the size of a fist had appeared in his hand.
There was a secret buried in Xiao Chen's heart, a secret that only he knew. He was not a native of this world. He came from a blue planet called Earth.
To be more precise, Xiao Chen was an archeology professor at a famous university in Huaxia Country. He had an unusual liking for ancient ruins. He frequently appeared in all kinds of ancient ruins, eating and sleeping outdoors. He had already reached the point of being possessed. That was why he was still single even though he was already thirty three years old.
Previously, when he was invited to participate in the excavation of an ancient tomb of unknown age, he entered a strange underground palace. The scene inside was puzzling, not because there were too many burial objects, but because the layout inside was a little strange.
There was only one altar in the underground palace, and above it was a rusty ancient bronze seal. The four walls were engraved with vivid and lifelike murals. There was a painting of riding the wind for thousands of miles, a painting of immortals feasting … and even a painting of ascending in daylight. All of this made everyone who entered the tomb feel a little strange. They stood on the spot in a dilemma, and questions arose in their hearts one after another. Do immortals really exist in this world?
Even Xiao Chen was stunned when he saw this strange scene. He believed that most people were familiar with Qi Refinement and Immortal Cultivation. In ancient times, those Qi Refinement Cultivators hid in the deep mountains and forests, eating colorful clouds and drinking morning dew. They stayed away from the troubles of the mortal world and pursued the Great Dao, leaving behind immortal legends that were passed down through the ages.
The idle chatter before and after tea suddenly appeared in front of him, making it hard for him to tell whether it was true or not.
Everyone stopped moving forward, but it did not dispel Xiao Chen's curiosity. He was bold and careful, and he took the lead to walk to the altar, reaching for the ancient bronze seal.
Just as Xiao Chen's hand touched the ancient seal, suddenly, something strange happened!
The originally quiet tomb began to shake, as if there was an earthquake.
Seeing this, everyone started to run outside.
Xiao Chen also ran out. However, perhaps he had profaned the owner of the tomb, he found himself rooted to the ground, unable to move. An irresistible suction came from the ancient seal, and he, who was originally an atheist, suddenly became afraid.
At this moment, a beam of divine light suddenly shot out from the altar, and instantly hit Xiao Chen's body. Suddenly, a dazzling light filled the entire tomb, as if the gods had descended into the world.
Boom!
With a loud sound, the altar exploded, and Xiao Chen instantly lost consciousness. Only the experts, who had escaped with their lives, looked at the big pit after the explosion with joy, and looked at each other.
The moment Xiao Chen lost consciousness, the ancient seal turned into a blue stream of light with his soul, tore open a crack in space, and disappeared.
It had traveled through countless spaces and arrived on this continent. Coincidentally, the young chief of the Gu Yuan Tribe had been attacked and killed, so it naturally took over his body.
At the same time, it inherited his power and responsibilities.
Coincidentally, the young chief who had died was also named Xiao Chen.
Primitive and barren was the first impression that this world gave Xiao Chen. The entire land was filled with an ancient aura, as if it was the beginning of the world.
This world was called the Wasteland Continent. The continent was vast and boundless, but the population was sparse. Demons ran amok, and hundreds of races ran amok. Natural disasters and man-made disasters emerged one after another. The human race struggled to survive in the cracks, and they formed camps to defend against the foreign races. Gradually, in places where there were more people, the human race naturally formed tribes and multiplied.
After being reborn for half a year, Xiao Chen had gradually assimilated into the lifestyle of the Ancient Yuan Tribe and adapted to the identity of the tribe leader. Furthermore, he had also found out what kind of existence the culprit who had brought him to this world was.
It was also this ancient bronze seal that gave him the confidence to deal with the threat of the Black Mountain Tribe.
This ancient seal was called the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. To be precise, it was an inheritance treasure. It was left behind by a powerful Qi cultivator in ancient Huaxia mythology, and it was used as a carrier to pass on his legacy.
As for how it appeared in that unknown ancient tomb, Xiao Chen did not know. As for the magic of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, Xiao Chen firmly believed in it.
After all, it had done something as bizarre and fantastical as transmigration, so how could the inheritance be fake?
After these days of exploration, Xiao Chen could be considered to have slightly uncovered the mysterious veil of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. In short, it could not immediately give him an extremely high cultivation. It was only an auxiliary treasure, and it was an inheritance treasure that was created by a peerless expert from the ancient Era of Gods called the Medicine Daoist. He traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains and collected countless treasures to create this Heavenly Grotto inheritance treasure. The ancient seal had its own space, and it could be used to cultivate spirit medicines and raise spirit beasts. At the same time, the Medicine Daoist had also refined the alchemy skills that he was so proud of into the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.
After understanding the function of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, Xiao Chen was overjoyed. He imitated most of the protagonists in novels and silently chanted to enter the Heavenly Grotto. He repeated it three times in a row, but he still did not move. His expression was quite interesting. Fortunately, no other tribe members saw this. Otherwise, they would have thought that their new chief had become stupid.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Xiao Chen tried more than ten times. He stood, lay, and crawled, but in the end, there was still no response. His eyes stared at the ancient seal in his palm, but there was nothing he could do.
Perhaps it had seen enough of Xiao Chen's strenuous performance, the ancient seal turned into a ray of light and disappeared into his right arm, forming a vivid tattoo.
Suddenly, a message appeared in his mind. Through this message, he learned that the space inside the ancient seal had been damaged. Countless heavenly treasures were needed to repair it before it could be opened. As for what kind of treasures, it was not mentioned. Perhaps it was not the right time yet.
Xiao Chen's efforts were not in vain. Although he could not enter the Heavenly Grotto, the Seal of Mountains and Rivers was not only a storage treasure, it was also the medium for the Medicine Daoist's alchemy inheritance. Behind the message, there was also a recipe for bone tempering.
This recipe was his trump card to deal with the tribe's crisis!
What made Xiao Chen even more excited was that through his observation and indirect inquiries, Xiao Chen found that although this world was prosperous with martial arts, it was quite backward in other aspects. Just like the slave society of ancient China, people hunted for a living, so their knowledge of medicinal knowledge was very shallow. Martial artists simply processed medicinal herbs before consuming them, wasting a lot of their medicinal power.
At the same time, many rare medicinal herbs on Earth were not as common as weeds here, but they were not difficult to find. Xiao Chen had seen the martial artists of the tribe boil ginseng like carrots in a clay pot. It was truly a reckless waste of natural resources!
Of course, all of this was the conclusion that Xiao Chen came to after observing the Gu Yuan Tribe. After all, the Gu Yuan Tribe was too weak. The strongest person in the tribe was only at the Blood Refining Realm, and the tribe was located in a remote area of the continent.
Not only that, the hundreds of thousands of miles around the Gu Yuan Tribe was a barren area in the Eastern Wilderness. The level of martial arts there was relatively low. Correspondingly, the level of the various secondary professions that served martial arts was also not high. However, the continent was so vast, and there might be high-level masters in other places where martial arts were prosperous.
However, all of this was too far away from the current Xiao Chen. Solving the tribe's crisis was his top priority.
In the hall, he told the tribal elder Gu Lin that he was about to break through the Bone Honing Realm and reach the Blood Refining Realm.
Half a year ago, he was attacked by an unknown person. His predecessor fought hard and made a breakthrough in martial arts at the critical moment. However, he was seriously injured and died in the end, and Xiao Chen took advantage of him.
In addition, he had been taking medicinal baths according to the recipe for several months. His strength had improved greatly, and he was not far from breaking through.
Even so, according to the common sense of this world, under normal circumstances, it would take at least half a year to completely open a Heaven Meridian with abundant resources. However, Xiao Chen was not a native of this world.
Time would prove that everything was possible!
