Five years later.
Time passed in the blink of an eye in the Wasteland.
At dawn, the endless ancient mountains were shrouded in a hazy purple glow. The entire mountain range exuded a majestic vitality. Tens of thousands of rays of light shone. After several years of nurturing, it could be said to be full of vitality. At the edge of the ancient mountains, some aged herbs could be seen everywhere.
Surrounded by the mountains, a mountain city was filled with purple mist. Spirit snakes danced in the dense purple mist. The entire tribe was surrounded by rich spiritual energy.
At the top of the ancient mountain in the center of the tribe, Xiao Chen stood with his hands behind his back. His face had not changed in the slightest in the past five years, but the aura on his body had become more profound.
Looking down at the mountain city, there was a hubbub of voices and excitement. In just less than an hour, tens of thousands of people came in and out. Groups of soldiers rushed into the Wasteland Ancient Forest.
It had been five years since the Gu Yuan Tribe had forged its destiny. Now, the number of people in the Gu Yuan Tribe had reached 1.2 million. This was the result after Xiao Chen had restricted the tribe from taking in more people.
"Ah …"
In the tribe, there was a loud and clear cry of a baby. A newborn had arrived in the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Over the past five years, the tribe had integrated with each other. More and more babies were born. The inheritance of the bloodline had broken down the barriers between the tribe members.
Over the past five years, the combat masters of the Gu Yuan Tribe had not been idle. Under Xiao Chen's orders, they had worked together with the major vassal tribes to completely wipe out the foreign tribes hiding in the dangerous mountain passes of the Fallen Dragon Territory.
As a result, in the past two years, the foreign tribes had almost disappeared from the Fallen Dragon Territory. Under the peaceful environment, many tribes in the territory had developed rapidly.
Compared to five years ago, the strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe had changed dramatically. The integration of the tribe members and the breaking of the bloodline barrier had gradually stabilized the tribe, and the development of the entire tribe had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Today, Xiao Chen has passed the Thunder and Fire Tribulations, and even broke through two heavenly tribulations in a row, reaching the early stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm. This was also thanks to his cultivation of the Heavy Building Golden Battle Body of the Purple Gold Battle Body. With the supply of a large number of resources from the tribe, the Nine Heavenly Layers Golden Battle Body had been cultivated to the fifth level.
Correspondingly, the Bronze Battle Body had also transformed into the Golden Battle Body. The Fifth Heavenly Layer Golden Battle Body had a strength of 500,000 jin, and its defense was dozens of times stronger than the Bronze Battle Body. Moreover, the height of the Golden Battle Body had reached an astonishing height of 500 zhang.
Not only that, but the Slaughter Intent that he had comprehended from the First Heaven's Slaughter Spear, which was at the peak of Greater Mastery, was completely integrated into it.
The Bronze War Body of the 2nd Firmament of the Heavy Building Realm, after cultivating the Gold War Body, it also evolved into the Gold War Body, and its defensive power rose sharply.
The Third Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm was the Fire Attribute that Xiao Chen had comprehended from the Five Elements, the Fire Attribute Spear, which was condensed from the Fire Attribute.
The Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm was the Thunder Fire Spear that Xiao Chen had absorbed a trace of Thunder Spiritual Power into his body when he crossed the Fourth Heavenly Fire Tribulation and condensed it into the Thunder Fire Spear. At the same time, it had the two attributes of Thunder Attribute and Fire Attribute fused with each other. However, this magical power was at the initial stage, and Xiao Chen still needed to continue to comprehend it.
As for the other martial artists in the tribe, Mu Qing and Shi Ya were now at the peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm with the help of double luck. Xue Sha and Pinghua were at the peak of the Second Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm, and Granny Hua was at the peak of the First Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm.
That was not all. In the tribe, Ding Shan, Xiao Wangliang, Mu Wuya, and the five Qiu brothers had successively crossed the Heavenly Tribulation of the Heavy Building Realm in the past five years and became Heavy Building Realm martial artists. Among them, the eldest of the five Qiu brothers, Qiu Hu, was the strongest and had the longest time to cross the Heavenly Tribulation. He was at the late stage of the First Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm.
The three Great Elders of the tribe had also reached the peak of the Blood Refining Realm, and there was hope for Heavy Building Realm. As for Tie Wen, Huang Liang, Xiao Lin, Lin Yue, Meng Yue, Que Feng, Xiao Long, Xue Li, and Lin Cai 'er, who had originally thought that their strength had increased too fast and their foundations were unstable, had all opened twelve Heaven Veins and became the Great Elders of the tribe.
The battle masters of the tribe had increased to five. Except for the battle masters that were originally formed by the original members of the Gu Yuan Tribe, there were no changes. Ding Shan continued to be a Major as a Heavy Building Realm martial artist, while Xiao Wangliang and Mu Wuya had broken through to the Heavy Building Realm and relinquished their Major positions, becoming the Great Elders of the tribe.
Lin Yue and Meng Yue took over Xiao Wangliang's and Mu Wuya's positions. As for the other two Major positions of the newly formed 10,000 men battle masters, Xiao Long and Que Feng took over.
Compared to the Heavy Building Realm martial artists who were the mainstays of the tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe had nearly a thousand Blood Refining Realm chiliarchs in the past five years. Although most of them were at the early stage, the chiliarchs who held real power among the battle masters were all at the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm. Some of them had even reached the late stage.
Of course, the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe did not suppress the development of the subordinate battle divisions. Xiao Chen was also very disdainful of such a thing.
The barter during the annual sacrifice had become a custom. Every year, the Gu Yuan Tribe would take out a large number of Martial Pills and exchange them for a large amount of resources from the other tribes.
Compared to the development of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the various subordinate battle divisions were also developing rapidly. After obtaining a large number of Martial Pills from the Gu Yuan Tribe, the number of Blood Refining Realm martial artists in the subordinate battle divisions had also increased. The number of Blood Refining Realm martial artists in the subordinate battle divisions had doubled from five years ago.
It could be said that the current strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe had already surpassed the strength of a middle-rank battle division and could stand shoulder to shoulder with a high-rank battle division. The increase in strength also represented the development of the power.
Now, the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe had gone beyond the Fallen Dragon Territory and was expanding towards the Giant Stone Valley. On the side of the Giant Stone Valley near the Fallen Dragon Territory, half of the barren forest had become the territory of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
The Gu Yuan Tribe had supported some scattered battle divisions near the Fallen Dragon Territory, which were suitable for the survival of the tribe. They had established their territory and become the subordinate battle divisions of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Of course, this had also caused a great backlash from the Iron Hoof Battle Division. Two years ago, the patriarch of the Iron Hoof Battle Division, Qin Peiyong, had even killed his way to the Gu Yuan Tribe. However, he was not a match for Xiao Chen and had left dejectedly. Since then, the Gu Yuan Tribe had adopted a tacit attitude towards the expansion of their power in the direction of the Giant Stone Valley.
Not only that, but he had also issued an edict to move some tribes that were further away from the Fallen Dragon Territory out of the Boulder Valley. He wanted to take drastic measures and leave the Gu Yuan Tribe with a desolate wasteland that was rarely visited by humans.
It was worth mentioning that in the past five years, the craftsmen of the Divine Weapon Hall and the addition of the Weapon Forging Clan had finally comprehended the incomplete method of forging spirit weapons and forged a low-grade spirit weapon. Although it was just an ordinary low-grade spirit weapon, it prevented the tribe's newly advanced Heavenly Building Realm martial artists from not having a spirit weapon to use.
As for the Heaven-stage Void Battleship in the tribe, the Gu Yuan Tribe had tried their best to obtain spiritual materials over the past five years, but it was still unable to meet the consumption of the battleship. Even if it was just to repair some broken hull, the spiritual materials needed were bottomless.
Fortunately, after five years of intermittent repair, coupled with a large number of annotations on the void battleship obtained from the Fallen Dragon Bloodline, the craftsmen of the tribe had almost completely repaired the huge holes on the hull of the void battleship.
After looking down at the tribe's mountain city for a long time, Xiao Chen's figure flashed and he returned to the Bluestone Garden.
"Big Brother Xiao!"
"Husband!"
Entering the Bluestone Garden, two beautiful figures called out softly. Two years ago, Xiao Chen had already married Mu Qing and married Pinghua at the same time under Mu Qing's instructions. Now, Pinghua was once again called Madam, but the meaning was different this time.
The Bluestone Garden became the residence of the three of them. The original two ferocious beast cubs had already settled down in the tribe.
In five years, with the abundant resources of the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Blue-eyed Suanni and the Dragon-blooded Turtle had both become Two-star Ferocious Beasts. Even so, compared to the long lifespans of Ferocious Beasts, they were still in their infancy.
Perhaps the Blue-eyed Suanni had inherited its mother's precious blood, but it was very different from the Blue-eyed Suanni. Its fur was golden, which was a sign of the strong bloodline of the Scarlet Flame Golden Lion in its body.
Of the two cubs, the Blue-eyed Suanni was already three meters long. Because the Dragon-blooded Turtle had the bloodline of the Dragon Clan in its body, it was gifted and had obtained the dragon blood of the Pegasus. Now, it was the size of a millstone.
Of the two cubs, one liked fire, and the other liked water. Therefore, the Blue-eyed Suanni moved under the volcano where the Pegasus lived. Of course, it was no exception and became the little brother of the Pegasus.
As for the Dragon-blooded Turtle, there was a lake in the tribe that occupied a radius of a few miles, which had become its new habitat. Even though it was far away from the volcano, it could not avoid becoming the little brother of the Pegasus.
Before Xiao Chen and his two wives could speak much, the Great Elder Tie Wen and Huang Liang from the Dark Guards Hall appeared in the Green Stone Garden.
"The two of you came for Lian Jue. Did something happen in the tribe?"
Xiao Chen could not help but ask when he saw the Great Elder and Huang Liang. After five years of development, the Gu Yuan Tribe's seven great halls could be said to have a firm control over the entire tribe.
"Nothing major has happened in the tribe, but we have just received a secret report from Elder Hua, who is in charge of Giant Rock Valley!"
Tie Wen and Huang Liang greeted Xiao Chen and the other two. After all, Mu Qing's status was different from Pinghua's now, so they still had to follow some necessary etiquette.
"Giant Rock Valley?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen could not help but frown. The Fallen Dragon Territory was now run like an iron bucket by the Gu Yuan Tribe, so Xiao Chen was not worried. Could something have happened in Giant Rock Valley?
As the Gu Yuan Tribe's organization that investigated external enemies and stabilized the tribe's internal development, the Dark Guards Hall's contributions could not go unnoticed. Over the past five years, some of the hidden dangers in the tribe had been secretly eliminated by the Dark Guards Hall.
As the Dark Guards Hall Master, Huang Liang was the first to receive Elder Hua's secret report. Therefore, after reporting to the Great Elder, he hurriedly reported it to Xiao Chen.
"What?
You're saying that Elder Hua reported that a tree that can run is running towards Boulder Valley! "
