The sun rose.
Xiao Chen walked out of the bluestone house. Before he knew it, a night had passed. His current strength was vastly different from the day before.
After the migration of tens of thousands of miles, the people in the tribe had also calmed down. However, there was still an oppressive atmosphere in the tribe. All the people in the tribe understood that they would have to go through a bloody storm before they could completely settle down.
This time, the Guyuan Tribe would be facing thousands of Demon Race. The Human Race had flourished in the Wasteland. Since ancient times, there had been endless bloody battles with the foreign races. Every time the foreign races appeared, they would only bring disaster. People would bleed and die. This had been deeply engraved in the hearts of every tribesman.
Time was the most merciless. It buried thousands of bones and flesh. All of this was just a microcosm of the tens of thousands of Human Race battalions in the Wasteland. At this moment, the Guyuan Tribe was just an ant in the Wasteland. They were powerless to control their own fate, let alone save the entire tribe. The only thing they could do was to seize the moment and work hard to survive.
There was hope only if they were alive. Only by staying alive would there be a possibility in the future.
That night, the entire Gu Yuan Tribe did not seem peaceful. From time to time, there would be a scene of blood qi soaring into the sky from one of the stone houses. That was the tribe's martialists breaking through to the next realm. Every time blood qi surged and pierced through the sky, the tribe would erupt in cheers. This was because the tribe members knew that every time a majestic blood qi swept through the tribe, it meant that the tribe's strength had increased. It also meant that the Gu Yuan Tribe had a higher chance of overcoming the disaster in this perilous Great Wilderness.
Buzz!
At this moment, in the southwest corner of the tribe, a beam of blood-red light shot into the sky and dyed half the sky red. There was even a faint blood mist in the tribe, and the stone house in the middle of the blood mist was surrounded by a blood-red sea. In the endless void above the Nine Heavens, there was also an indescribable aura descending.
After a long time, this invisible Qi Ji dissipated in the void, and the endless blood color in the sky formed a whirlpool with a circumference of a thousand feet. Like a funnel, it surged towards the stone house, and disappeared without a trace. In a trance, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
While the tribesmen were still pondering this endless bloody phenomenon, a long roar of a dragon and a tiger came from the stone house. It tore through the void and resounded throughout the tribe.
Boom!
The stone door opened, and a massive figure appeared. In that instant, it made people feel as if a boundless sea of blood was rushing towards them. Xue Sha, who had appeared in front of Xiao Chen, seemed to have bathed in a sea of blood for a hundred years. His entire body was filled with a bloody aura, and his originally pale white hair had turned completely blood-red, giving off a bloodthirsty aura.
Inherited battle name, Blood-Clothed Marquis!
Seeing Xue Sha and feeling his boundless blood Qi, Xiao Chen understood that he had completely refined the blood saber and inherited the battle name of Blood Clothed Marquis. He could even feel that Xue Sha's current strength was no weaker than his own.
"The fifth generation Blood-Clothed Marquis has reappeared in the Great Wilderness. Our Gu Yuan Tribe has gained another peerless warrior!"
At this moment, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hadn't expected that Xue Sha would actually be able to raise his strength to the full circle of the Zhou Tian realm, the peak of the Blood Refinement realm.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for your great kindness. I will never forget it!"
Xue Sha knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen. The path of cultivation was arduous. Xiao Chen had given Xue Sha such an opportunity to pass on the Dao. He was worthy of this bow, so he did not avoid it.
For Xue Sha, obtaining the inherited Divine Weapon and reaching the peak of the Blood Refinement realm with the help of the Divine Weapon was an unparalleled opportunity. One shouldn't underestimate the small gap between the late stage of the Blood Refinement realm and the peak of the Blood Refinement realm. Being able to reach the peak of the Blood Refinement realm at the age of 30 greatly increased his chances of breaking through to the Storey Building realm.
Not long after, the other Blood Refinement realm warriors of the tribe also gathered. Each of them had more or less opened one or two Heaven Veins, and some had even advanced to the next small level.
Perhaps it was because they had just broken through to the original realm, but the violent blood Qi had yet to calm down. At this moment, everyone was surrounded by a thick blood Qi that gathered together and collided with each other, causing the surrounding people to stay far away.
In the tribe's main hall.
"Greetings, Lord Patriarch!"
Everyone bowed to Xiao Chen. At this moment, there was no longer the suppressed expression in the main hall. In one night, the strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe could be said to have skyrocketed several times.
Looking at the many warriors below, there were a few new Blood Refinement realm warriors, but there were only six of them. Seeing this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh. Even if they had the pill to break through to the next realm, there were too many uncertain factors on the path of martial arts. Not every warrior had the luck to advance to the next realm.
Looking around, Mu Qing and Shi Ya, who were originally at the late Blood Refinement realm, were now at the peak of the Blood Refinement realm. However, they didn't have the complete Qi of the Zhou Tian, so it seemed that they hadn't opened the twelfth Heaven Meridian yet. But this was also within Xiao Chen's expectations. Don't forget that the two of them were warriors with inherited battle fame. With the help of the human race's luck, they would be a great help in fighting against the foreign races, and would be able to fight against those with higher cultivation levels.
Ding Shan, Huang Liang, Mu Wuya, Xiao Wangkun, and Que Tang, who were originally at the mid Blood Refinement realm, had all broken through to the late Blood Refinement realm. Que Feng, Xi Ming, and Meng Yue had broken through to the mid Blood Refinement realm. As for Xiao Lin, Lin Yue, and the others, because they had only broken through to the Blood Refinement realm for a short period of time, they had only opened one or two Heaven Veins, and hadn't broken through to the next realm yet.
As for the five brothers of the Qiu Family, with the abundant resources provided by Xiao Chen, they had broken through to the peak of the late Blood Refinement realm. The eldest of the five brothers had even opened the tenth Heaven Meridian, becoming a peak Blood Refinement realm warrior.
As for the three great elders, except for the Second Elder Lin Shan, who had broken through to the late Blood Refinement realm, the First Elder and the Third Elder hadn't broken through to the next realm yet. After all, the Third Elder was already quite old, and if he wanted to break through to the next realm, he would have to spend a few times more resources.
As for the six new Blood Refinement realm warriors, they were Xiao Qian, Lin Mu, Shi Qiong, Xiao Long, Qing Muyan, and Que Yueming. Under the care of Xiao Chen, this man from the Que Yue Clan had broken through to the Blood Refinement realm, becoming the first Blood Refinement realm warrior since the founding of the Que Yue Clan.
Xiao Qian and Xiao Long were brothers from the same clan as Xiao Chen. Xiao Long was the son of the Third Elder, Lin Mu was the nephew of the Second Elder Lin Shan, and Shi Qiong was the cousin of Chiliarch Shi Ya. As for Qing Muyan, he was a member of a tribe that had merged with the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Every tribe in the Great Wilderness was tied together by blood, and the Gu Yuan Tribe was no exception. After hundreds of years of reproduction and inheritance, the members of the original tribe married each other, and there was a blood connection between them. This blood connection was also a way for Xiao Chen to maintain the stability of the tribe.
Although the population of the Gu Yuan Tribe had increased from less than 10,000 people to about 200,000 people, the higher-ups were still led by Xiao Chen, and it was maintained by the clan and blood relatives.
