In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen had been back to the tribe from the easternmost area of the Fallen Dragon Territory for a month.
During this month, many people from the scattered tribes were absorbed into the Gu Yuan Tribe. The population of the tribe was constantly growing and now had a population of 800,000.
Ever since Xiao Chen investigated the Void Road of Otaku, the order he issued when he returned to the tribe was to continue to absorb people from the scattered tribes and increase the number of people in the entire tribe to one million.
The seal in the Void Road made Xiao Chen feel a deep sense of crisis. At least for the next ten years, the entire Gu Yuan Army would be in a period of recuperation. There was not much difference between the integration of one million people and the integration of eight hundred thousand people.
As for the depths of the wilderness in the easternmost area of the Fallen Dragon Territory, the peak of the Three Star Realm, which was comparable to the fifth level of the Human Race's Heavenly Building Realm, still needed to wait for a period of time to completely eliminate it. Fortunately, Feng Yu and her disciple were guarding the wilderness at the moment, so the territory was still safe.
As for Feng Yu's master, the old man Luo Yunshan's cultivation was at the peak of the fourth level of the Heavenly Building Realm. He could only match the blue-eyed beast. As for killing it completely, it was extremely difficult. Moreover, the fierce beast tempered its body and walked the path of the emperor. It had an innate advantage over the Human Race in terms of physique. Moreover, this fierce beast was a little stronger than the old man Luo Yunshan. If it was not for the extraordinary inheritance of the old man's master, he would have already died in the mouth of the fierce beast.
In the stone garden.
The ancient trees were vigorous and powerful, and the old herbs breathed in and out fragrance. Xiao Chen sat cross-legged under his subordinates, running his cultivation method and constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
With Xiao Chen's current cultivation at the peak of the second level of the Heavenly Building Realm, if he could not condense martial arts and advance to the next level, it would be difficult for him to absorb the outside world's spiritual energy.
Buzz Buzz Buzz!
A dense bloody Qi spread out for several meters around Xiao Chen. It formed a faint azure Qi Shield around Xiao Chen's body. Below his body, there was a layer of white powder. This was the impurities left behind after the Essence Stones were exhausted.
Boom!
Surging Battle Qi surged like a vast ocean, flowing in Xiao Chen's body. Thunder roared endlessly. It was like a thunderstorm surging Battle Qi flowed along the twelve Heavenly Veins without any hindrance. It reached the four extremities, the Heavenly Divinity Palace, and the Qi Sea, nourishing his limbs and bones. Finally, like the rivers flowing into the sea, they all flowed into the Heavenly Divinity Sea.
Buzz!
Xiao Chen's entire body trembled. His skin bloomed with an immortal bronze radiance. Cyan light circulated, and under his armor, a layer of deep cyan wrinkles appeared. Layers of tiny cyan scales slowly grew out. Each scale was thick and heavy, sparkling with clear light.
This was the vision formed by Xiao Chen's Bronze Battle Body. Now the Bronze Battle Body had been cultivated by Xiao Chen to the extreme state, but at this moment he lacked the cultivation method of this battle body. As long as the Human Race Battle Body remained stagnant, it could only slowly nourish the body.
At this moment, he needed to condense the martial arts that belonged to the second level of the Heavenly Building Realm in order to advance to the next realm, and the martial arts that Xiao Chen was preparing to condense was the Bronze Battle Body that he cultivated.
The Bronze Battle Body originally belonged to the Human Race's physical body, and it had an extremely strong defense. Xiao Chen was preparing to condense it into a set of Bronze Battle Armor, nourishing it in the Heavenly Building Realm, and combining it with his first magical power, the Slaughter Spear, to attack and defend.
Two days later, in the main hall of the Stone Garden.
The three great elders, Mu Qing, Hua Niao, Shi Ya, Xue Sha, Ding Shan and other chiliarchs were all present.
What!
In the stone hall, there were bursts of exclamations, and everyone shuddered. At this moment, Xiao Chen told them about the Void Road in Otaku.
"Everyone, next, my Gu Yuan Tribe will go all out to develop the tribe. It's said that it'll take a hundred years, but this may just be an illusion. My Gu Yuan Tribe cannot sit still and wait for death!"
"Now, my Gu Yuan Army has only used a few years to complete the development of other tribes that took hundreds of years. This is rare in the Great Wilderness, but this is still far from enough!"
"This time, the Gu Yuan Army can only rely on ourselves to break the seal of the Void Road in Otaku!"
Everyone's shock and even fear was within Xiao Chen's expectations. This news was too terrifying, and it was like a mountain pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.
"Everyone, are you all afraid!?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Our Gu Yuan Tribe has faced the calamity of extermination over the years, yet we still managed to survive!" "What's there to be afraid of?
"Even if the foreign tribes wreak havoc, we'll kill them all so that our trip to the Great Wilderness will not be in vain!"
"There's still time. My Gu Yuan Army has been promoted to a middle-grade army in just a few years. When the time comes, we may have the power to fight!"
"The ancestors of the Human Race were buried in the wilderness to protect the Great Wilderness. Now that the Patriarch has inherited the position of Void Road Guardian, our Gu Yuan Army will be the new tribe to guard the Void Road. Our ancestors shed their blood in the Great Wilderness, and we are not cowards. How can we let the glory of the Human Race fall?"
After a long time, the entire stone hall was filled with excited voices.
Finally, under Xiao Chen's signal, everyone calmed down.
"Three Elders, the strength of our Gu Yuan Tribe is expanding too quickly, and there are many hidden dangers in the tribe. Therefore, we must eliminate these hidden dangers as soon as possible and make the hearts of the people submit to us as soon as possible."
"Qing 'er, select new people from the tribe to expand the Hundred Herb Hall and ensure that the people have the elixir pills they need for cultivation!"
"Third Elder, excavate all kinds of ore veins as soon as possible. The craftsmen in the tribe will start forging all kinds of battle armor in case of emergency!"
"Captains, the various training of the combat masters in the tribe will be handed over to you. Do not slack off!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in a low voice. Although they still had 100 years to prepare, everyone still felt that time was of the essence and the atmosphere was suffused with a hint of pressure.
"Furthermore, the Gu Yuan Tribe now has 800 vassal battalions. The strength of these battalions can be said to be the potential strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe. The development of the vassal battalions is also the development of the entire Fallen Dragon Territory. Therefore, during the annual sacrifice, we will increase the number of items traded to allow the vassal battalions to develop quickly."
Of course, no one had any objections to Xiao Chen's orders. Once the Void Road was broken, what awaited the Gu Yuan Tribe might be the million combat masters of Otaku. They would need to unite the strength of the entire territory to resist!
Suddenly, Xiao Chen stood up and shouted to everyone, "Let's go!
"Everyone, don't panic. We still have at least 100 years to develop. Don't tell me that you have no confidence in our Gu Yuan Tribe?"
Xiao Chen's strong confidence calmed everyone down. After all, Otaku had not attacked them yet. If they panicked now, would the Human World still need to be attacked by the foreign tribes? It would be better for the Human Tribe to retreat from this wasteland.
After a short discussion of less than half an hour, everyone's excitement about the rapid advancement of the Gu Yuan Tribe completely dissipated. The entire tribe once again sank into a state of hard work, just for the battle that would only happen once every 100 years!
Ten days later.
Xiao Chen's figure appeared in the sky above an endless mountain range. On the plains in the distance, an unusually majestic ancient city lay across the wasteland.
The entire city was dark red, and the mottled city walls were filled with shocking cuts. This ancient city was Duanmu City in Giant Rock Valley.
Standing at the top of the ancient mountain, Xiao Chen felt like a lifetime had passed. In just a few months, he had once again set foot on this wasteland.
A few months ago, hundreds of thousands of people of the tribe had left their homes and migrated hundreds of thousands of miles into the wasteland to avoid a disaster. They had abandoned the land where their ancestors had lived and lived, left Giant Rock Valley, and fled in a sorry state.
At that time, the Gu Yuan Tribe was so weak. In the eyes of the Iron Horseshoe Tribe, they were just ants. Now, a few months later, when Xiao Chen once again stood on this wasteland, everything was different!
The Iron Horseshoe Tribe was no longer qualified for him to look up to!
These humiliations needed to be washed away, and this time, Xiao Chen wanted to wash them away!
Just like before, the entire ancient city was filled with the vicissitudes of time. As the bartering place for all the human tribes in Giant Rock Valley, it was still as prosperous as ever.
In front of the city gate, people surged. All kinds of wanderers and martial artists were scrambling to get in. On the vast land, countless martial artists were rushing towards the city. Mystical beasts stomped on the ground, causing the earth to shake.
Ever since the Gu Yuan Tribe had landed in the Dragon's Territory to avoid disaster, Tie Wen had led a group of his tribe brothers to hide in Giant Rock Valley to guard against the Iron Horseshoe Tribe. Every ten days or half a month, there would be news back to the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Iron Horseshoe Division, the Gu Yuan Tribe was just a small ant that they did not take seriously and could crush at will. In the past few months, the Iron Horseshoe Division had not taken any action against the Gu Yuan Tribe.
In just a few months, even the patriarch of the Iron Horseshoe Tribe would not have thought that the Gu Yuan Tribe, which was just an ant in his eyes, had become a middle-ranked combat division like his Iron Horseshoe Tribe.
In front of Duanmu City, countless martial artists were entering and exiting the city gate. Most of them were carrying a huge bamboo basket filled with all kinds of scales, fur, bones, blood, and medicines.
Swoosh!
A beam of golden light flashed above everyone's head, and a scorching aura immediately made everyone hide far away. A tiger-type mutated beast with a pair of wings on its back, which was originally walking majestically on the wasteland, suddenly crouched on the ground.
As the golden flames dissipated, Xiao Chen's figure appeared. The young Heavenly Horse looked at the black-winged tiger with disdain.
"Heavenly Horse!"
"It's a Heavenly Horse. My god, I'm so lucky to see a Heavenly Horse!"
"The Heavenly Horse is the symbol of a human expert. Who is this person?"
The Heavenly Horse, which was dozens of feet long and looked like it was made of gold, immediately made all the martial artists in front of the city gate exclaim. They surrounded it from afar, wanting to see the majestic appearance of the Heavenly Horse. For a moment, the road was congested.
"He is Xiao Chen!
He is Xiao Chen, the patriarch of the Gu Yuan Tribe! "
"How dare he show up!"
For a moment, everyone was puzzled.
