On the first day of a month …
The morning sun rose and shone brightly. The entire Guyuan Tribe was shrouded in a purplish-golden light, and the dark mountain walls shone with a metallic luster. At this moment, the tribesmen in the city woke up one after another.
Woo!
The majestic sound of a horn resounded between heaven and earth. In an instant, the tribesmen who had been sleeping woke up. A new day had begun.
Swoosh!
A golden streamer suddenly flashed across the sky above the dark city. It was as if a golden flame was dancing in the void. The golden figure appeared under a row of green stone houses. It opened its mouth and a string of marinated beast meat hanging under the eaves disappeared instantly.
In the next moment, the golden figure flickered and reappeared in a green stone garden on top of a mountain. This was the residence of the tribe's chiliarchs. However, the golden figure didn't care about anything else and swallowed a 300-year-old blood ginseng on a stone shelf. It didn't seem to be satisfied and let out a light roar towards the stone house. Its golden eyes flickered with a hint of mischief.
Roar!
The golden figure let out a long roar as flames rose under its feet. A pair of golden wings swept across the void and swept toward the top of the stone tower in the tribe.
"Look, it's a Pegasus!"
"Look, it's a Pegasus that has signed an Eternal Contract with our human ancestor!"
"Haha, that's a Pegasus of the Guyuan Tribe. It's the tribe leader's combat partner!"
"When I grow up, I want to find a Pegasus as a mount just like the tribe leader!"
On the bluestone streets below the city, a group of young children were chasing after the foal. They roared as they ran, and their eyes shone with an indescribable light as they looked at the foal.
Since the Pegasus had arrived in the Guyuan Tribe, it had caused a huge commotion. Fortunately, it knew its place and only stole some of the tribesmen's food. Moreover, it had been brought back by Xiao Chen. Although it had not signed an Eternal Contract with Xiao Chen, the tribesmen still regarded the Pegasus as Xiao Chen's mount and turned a blind eye to its troubles.
The Pegasus Tribe was the only tribe that had fought against the Human Clan in the Great Wilderness. It was also the symbol of the Human Clan's soldiers. Even these 10-year-old children knew that the Pegasus was unconstrained and could move as fast as lightning. Its speed was unparalleled in the Human Realm. Only the most powerful soldiers were qualified to own a Pegasus.
For these 10-year-old children in the Guyuan Tribe, today was the most important day of their lives. This was because it was the day they would be enlightened in martial arts. After today, they would be able to learn martial arts and archery from the warriors in the tribe. After this day, they would be able to break through the Bone Tempering Realm and become human soldiers.
Woo! Woo!
The sound of the horn resounded through the entire tribe once again. This time, the entire tribe moved upon hearing the sound. On the bluestone streets, strong winds blew as more than a hundred thousand people moved together. These clansmen wearing beast robes opened the doors of their houses, and behind them were children wearing brand new beast robes. They gathered at the bluestone square in the tribe. In the center of the bluestone square, there was a pool of blood that was hundreds of feet wide. It was carved out of a single boulder, and waves of bloody smell came from the stone pool. Here, these children would be able to build their foundation!
The square, which was paved with limestone, was several thousand meters wide. At this moment, it was already packed with people. However, at the center of the square, there were young boys and girls in brand new beast robes. At this moment, their eyes were shining with longing.
At this moment, there were more than 500 boys and girls in this square. At this moment, they were being watched by countless pairs of eyes. This was because this was the future of the Guyuan Tribe and the inheritance of generations of the Great Desolate Tribe.
At this time, Xiao Chen's figure suddenly appeared in the crowd, causing a series of exclamations. His blue armor flashed with a blue light as he directly approached the blood pool. At this moment, the blood pool was filled with a viscous greenish-gray liquid that emitted a rich medicinal fragrance. From time to time, bubbles would appear. This liquid contained dozens of medicinal ingredients. It was a product that Xiao Chen had improved based on the original formula for young children in the Great Desolate Tribe and his own alchemy inheritance.
"Bring out the blood of the beasts we hunted!"
Following Xiao Chen's shout, the sound of metal clashing resounded from behind the crowd. One by one, valiant men carried large jars on their backs or shoulders as they walked over. The surrounding crowd quickly opened up a path for them.
A total of one hundred azure stone altars were placed in the middle of the crowd. The precious blood of these ferocious beasts was the result of the Gu Yuan Tribe's Battle Masters' efforts over the past month. It had already been a month since Xiao Chen ordered the Gu Yuan Tribe's Battle Masters to hunt ferocious beasts in the Wasteland.
The original plan of half a month's time was extended to a month's time because the tribe's young children needed the precious blood of vicious beasts to build their foundations.
During this month, the five thousand battle masters of the Gu Yuan Tribe fought in the wilderness within three thousand miles of the Gu Yuan Tribe's territory. They traveled through mountains, rivers, swamps, and rugged mountains, killing thousands of beasts. Among them, there were even some two-star beasts that were comparable to human Blood Refinement Realm cultivators. This caused the women in the tribe to be extremely busy. They separated the beasts from the hunting party. The meat was dried with a special method and stored in case of emergencies. The beast bones and hides were handed over to the tribe's craftsmen to be made into leather armor soldiers.
"Pour the blood into the stone pond!"
The burly man guarding the stone altar instantly opened the stone altar in front of him. Immediately, different colors flashed on top of the stone altar, emitting a gentle light that was mixed with a refreshing aura. The clansmen were already used to this scene. The precious blood of a Vicious Beast was the essence of a Vicious Beast, and it was produced from the fusion of the Vicious Beast's blood. There was not the slightest smell of blood, and instead, it emitted a sweet fragrance.
Jars of blood that emitted gentle colors were poured into the stone pond. Among them, there were five jars of blood that emitted a five-colored glow. These were the blood of two-star beasts that were comparable to human Blood Refinement Realm cultivators. It could be said that these were the essence of the beasts.
Hundreds of jars of beast blood were poured into the stone pond. The originally greenish-gray stone pond was immediately dyed with a variety of colors. In the blink of an eye, the blood had already fused with the medicinal liquid, and a dense fog rose up.
"In ancient times, in the Great Wilderness, hundreds of races ran amok. The beasts wreaked havoc, and the human race was weak. They were slaves and food. Later on, the ancestors of the human race observed the movement of the heavens and earth. They imitated the giant beasts of the Great Wilderness and created the path of martial arts to expel the foreign races. In this Great Wilderness, they created a land for the human race to live on. Our descendants must remember the will of our ancestors and cultivate diligently.
"Enter the blood pond and forge your martial arts foundation!"
With a command, the five hundred young children of the Gu Yuan Tribe entered the blood pond with the help of the tribe's soldiers. They began to build their martial arts foundation and began their cultivation journey.
From then on, cultivation would be integrated into their lives. Bone Tempering, Blood Refinement, and Building Building would be deeply imprinted in the depths of their minds. They would cultivate every day in order to advance to a higher realm and develop more of the human body's potential. They would fight in the Great Wilderness and fight against the foreign races. They would be able to turn the tides and inherit the will of their ancestors!
