The Nine-Five Altar, also known as the Heaven Sacrificial Altar, was a sacrificial altar that had to be built when establishing a Luck Tribe. It was used to offer sacrifices to the heavens and announce the tribe's importance.
In the Great Wilderness, almost every military division that wanted to establish a Luck Tribe had to ascend to the Heaven Sacrificial Altar and offer sacrifices to the heavens to receive the tribe's fate. Only by receiving the tribe's pity would the tribe be bestowed with fate.
At this moment, the Nine-Five Heaven Worship Altar in the Gu Yuan Tribe had undergone tremendous changes. The entire altar faced the south, and there were five levels of white jade stairs in the south, which led to the top of the fifth level.
Each level was covered with a large number of Star Patterned Iron Bricks. In order to cover the five levels of the altar with Star Patterned Iron Bricks, a middle-grade Star Patterned Iron Mine near the tribe had been completely excavated.
A large amount of Star Patterned Iron Sand was sent into the raging flames by the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe to be smelted into molten iron, which was then poured into the iron brick molds and turned into large refined iron bricks.
The craftsmen of the tribe carved relief scrolls on each level of the high platform. There were images of ancient beasts roaring in the mountains and forests, of the ancestors of the ancient human race rising up to resist the ravages of the 100 races, and of their blood spilling over the Great Wilderness. There were also images of the Supreme Human Emperor of the human race, who settled the current situation of the Human World with a single battle.
These engraved relief scrolls were just a microcosm of how the human race had flourished in the Great Wilderness since ancient times. On the highest five steps, the walls facing the four sides were engraved with images of the ups and downs that the Gu Yuan Tribe had experienced over the past 800 years. There were images of the Gu Yuan Tribe's first chief gathering the people of the tribe and opening up the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe in the Great Wilderness.
Generations of people of the Gu Yuan Tribe had marched forward. These images showed the 800-year history of the Gu Yuan Tribe, as well as some of the events that had a significant impact on the tribe's development. There were also engravings of the Gu Yuan Tribe attacking the Thousand Demon Mountain Range a few days ago.
On the high platform, the 36 black cauldrons continued to emit raging flames, and a strange fragrance filled the surroundings of the tribe. Some of the busy tribesmen in the tribe would raise their heads from time to time and look at the altar. They had personally witnessed it, and even personally built it with bricks and stones. One could imagine the excitement in their hearts.
As members of the Guyuan Tribe, it would be a great opportunity for the entire Guyuan Tribe if their tribe could establish a Luck Race and obtain the recognition of the Human Race's Luck. It would also give every member of the tribe a great sense of belonging.
In the past few days since the altar was built, a large number of people had gathered here, excitedly watching the process of the altar being built layer by layer.
Many people even speculated what the Guyuan Tribe would look like on the day of the sacrifice to the heavens, when the Gu Yuan Tribe would receive the Luck of the Human Race. Although no one had ever seen a real Luck Race, there were countless rumors about it in the Great Wilderness.
Originally, their tribe's land had been inherited from the ruins of an ancient human civilization from tens of thousands of years ago. Although this precious land had been eroded by time for tens of thousands of years, it still contained three to four times the natural yuan qi of the outside world. When the fate of the tribe descended and the tribe received the blessing of the tribe, they didn't dare to imagine how rich the natural yuan qi of the tribe would be.
Offering the tribe to the heavens and receiving the Luck of the Race was currently the most important thing for the Guyuan Tribe.
Under the sun, the sacrificial altar, which was made of Star Pattern Iron, emitted sharp starlight. The tribe was in a hubbub, and the area within a few miles of the altar had been cleared of dead trees and rocks that had accumulated over the past 10,000 years.
Groups of soldiers continuously rushed towards the altar from the city gate, dragging the ferocious beasts that had just been hunted. As long as the sacrifice to the heavens did not begin, the blood fragrance of the Flaming Beast in the giant cauldron on the altar could not be extinguished.
The strong men of the tribe cut open the stomachs of the ferocious beasts that had just been hunted and poured the blood into the boiling beast fragrance before burning it again.
In addition, the construction of all the buildings in the tribe had been completed over the past few days. It now looked like the tribe's territory, with pavilions, terraces, and stone houses. Due to the size of the tribe's city, the stone houses built by the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe looked even more rough and magnificent.
The city was full of opened up medicinal fields. Xiao Chen used the space of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers to cultivate many medicinal seedlings and handed them over to the people of the tribe to plant them. The soil that was originally brought back from the cave of the Stone Marrow in the Lion Camel Ridge was scattered into these medicinal fields. The whole city was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.
With these sufficient medicinal herbs, the pharmacist apprentices in the Hundred Herb Hall would have endless resources to temper their refining skills, so that the people of the tribe would no longer have to worry about resources.
In addition, among the six ancient mountains in the tribe, the young Celestial Horse occupied a volcano, one was reclaimed as a medicinal mountain, two needed to be hollowed out as the tribe's treasury, and one of the remaining two also had a new purpose.
Above this ancient mountain, at the moment, there was an incessant roar. There were hundreds of green-eyed eagles hovering in the sky. On the back of these giant eagles stood a soldier in green armor. This was a group of green-eyed eagles that the Guyuan Tribe had just subdued from the depths of the Desolate Mountain Range not long ago.
After these giant eagles grew up, their wingspan was as long as five feet. They were the kings of the sky and natural flying mounts. With these huge guys, any unusual movements within the territory of the Guyuan Tribe would be under the surveillance of these soldiers.
The only regret was that this group of green-eyed eagles numbered less than a thousand, and more than half of them were still young. At the moment, the Guyuan Tribe had only formed five teams of green-eyed eagle soldiers of 100.
On the huge city wall that was as high as twenty feet, there was a huge bronze crossbow placed every one hundred feet. The arm-thick beast tendons were tightly fastened to the slots of the rotating wheels, and the sharp arrows that were several feet long were flashing with cold light, aimed at the desolate mountains outside the mountain city.
These bronze crossbows were guarded by ten soldiers of the Guyuan Tribe, and each soldier was led by a centurion martial artist at the Peak of the Bone Tempering Realm. In addition, every three miles, there was a stone tower built, and each stone tower was guarded by a chiliarch at the Blood Refining Realm, guarding the safety of the tribe.
Every hour, there would be clan soldiers patrolling the city walls. Of course, these clan soldiers were not the elites of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Instead, they were selected from the tribe.
Even so, the martial arts strength of each of them was far superior to the elite soldiers of other human battalions in the Desolate Mountain Range. This was also thanks to Xiao Chen's order that the tribe was not stingy with various resources and fully provided for the tribe's cultivation.
