The layout of the Dao Palace was very simple. In the empty hall, there were only a few praying mats woven from withered grass. Apart from that, there was nothing else. A purple-robed old man sat cross-legged on one of the praying mats.
The most powerful elder of the Desolate Border Region, Great Venerable Ming He, sat cross-legged on one of the praying mats in the middle of the hall.
"Have a seat!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen did not stand on ceremony and sat on the nearest praying mats.
When he sat on the praying mats, he immediately realized that the praying mats were not ordinary items. When he sat on the praying mats, he could not help but calm down. In this state, it would not take long for him to enter an ethereal state.
"This praying mats are woven from a Heaven-grade spiritual item, Path-Understanding Grass. It has the miraculous effect of calming one's mind and clearing one's mind. It is a treasure for comprehending the mysteries of the world."
Seeing Xiao Chen's strange expression, Great Venerable Ming He spoke indifferently. He was like a completely different person from when Xiao Chen had just entered the hall.
"Old Man Shi, I've told you everything!"
"Senior Shi has already told me about the River of a Hundred Realms."
"The River of a Hundred Realms is about to appear in the Eastern Wasteland. The Human Race did not expect a Venerable Realm Almighty, especially when the River of a Hundred Realms is about to descend into the void, is extremely important to the Desolate Border Region."
"You killed Venerable Han Bing outside the Desolate Border City in front of everyone in the Desolate Border Region. The Ancestral Court cannot do nothing about it. Since you have already killed Venerable Han Bing, the mission that Venerable Han Bing has to undertake will be completed by you."
"Isn't Venerable Han Bing a Wanderer? Does the Ancestral Court have a mission for him?"
"This is a long story. It is not a mission for Venerable Han Bing. Not only in the Desolate Border Region, but in the entire Human World, any cultivator who can advance to the Venerable Realm has the obligation to complete this mission. It just so happens that you have already advanced to the Venerable Realm."
"May I know what is the matter?" Hearing this, Xiao Chen asked in a deep voice.
"Only when a warrior becomes a Venerable can he touch the Void Domain and cross the void. This is not only for the human race, but also for the alien races. Therefore, in the void world outside the Desolate Region, there might be alien race Venerables who descend for unknown reasons. These alien races that occasionally appear outside the Desolate Region need to be killed by warriors. This is the mission of the Venerables."
As soon as he said that, a token that Overlord Ming He had tossed over appeared in Xiao Chen's hand. The token was made of bronze and looked simple and imposing. There were two simple and unadorned characters on the front, Dao. There were also two simple and unadorned characters on the back, Prosperity.
The prosperity of humanity!
"This token will be your identity token in the future. After you drop a drop of blood to acknowledge your ancestor, you will be able to store it in your body."
Perhaps Overlord Ming He knew that Xiao Chen was confused, even though he did not open his eyes, he did not stop and continued, "This token is a medium that connects the Human Clan's Ancient God Weapon, the Human Dao Stele. It is connected to the Human Clan's Ancient God Weapon and is used to record the owner's battle achievements."
"If you can obtain enough battle achievements, you will be rewarded by the Human Clan's Ancestral Court. If the owner dies, the token will automatically be destroyed."
"Great Elder, may I know what battle achievements are and what they are used for?"
"For the human race, killing alien races is battle achievements. After you drop a drop of blood to acknowledge its owner, this token will automatically record the alien races you have killed. The Human Clan's Ancient God Weapon, the Human Dao Stele, will turn the alien races you have killed into battle achievements."
"As for the use of battle achievements, if you accumulate enough battle achievements, you can exchange them for cultivation methods, martial techniques, spiritual medicines, spiritual weapons, and even void battleships from the Human Clan's Ancestral Court. If your tribe is in danger, you can even use battle achievements to ask the Human Clan's warriors to send experts to protect your tribe."
Speaking of this, Overlord Ming He blinked his eyes and looked at Xiao Chen. Obviously, he had also heard that the Gu Yuan Tribe had a Heaven-grade battleship.
"Not only that, if you accumulate enough battle achievements, you can also increase your status and enjoy certain privileges in the Human Clan. For example, you can obtain the title of Bronze Commander of the Human Clan. You can even choose an area as your fief."
"Of course, this fief is only in name. But if you get this fief, you will be able to enjoy the resources that all human clans in this fief pay tribute to you. Or, you can choose a piece of unclaimed land and establish your own clan. The ancestral court will give you the divine items you need to stabilize your fortune."
"Rumor has it that if you can obtain battle achievements of the Purple Gold Commander level, you can even obtain a small world as your fief. A real small world, not a secret territory that you have created."
What!
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, Legend, these five ranks belonged to the Human Clan's battle achievements.
"May I ask what rank your battle achievements are?"
"Bronze," Overlord Ming He said in a deep voice.
Sage Ming He said in a deep voice, "Battle merit is hard to come by. For example, obtaining a bronze level battle merit requires 100,000 battle merit points. Killing an ordinary Heavenly Building Realm first layer martial artist is only 10 battle merit points. Using this kind of Heavenly Building Realm fifth layer martial artist, 50 battle merit points."
"For the Venerable realm, the early Sixth Sky of the Heavy Building Realm is worth 100 battle achievements. The mid Sixth Sky of the Heavy Building Realm is worth 200 battle achievements. The late Sixth Sky of the Heavy Building Realm is worth 400 battle achievements. The peak Sixth Sky of the Heavy Building Realm is worth 800 to 1,000 battle achievements. As for the foreign races below the Heavy Building Realm, it depends on the number of kills. The Human Dao Tablet will automatically determine the number of battle achievements based on the number of kills. Normally, killing 10,000 foreign race warriors in the Blood Refining Realm may not be as much as killing a Venerable."
A foreign race Venerable at the early Sixth Sky of the Heavy Building Realm was worth only 100 battle achievements. Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath. Battle achievements were hard to obtain. Obtaining a Bronze rank commander's battle achievement required 100,000 battle achievements. Even killing a foreign race warrior at the peak Sixth Sky of the Heavy Building Realm would require more than 100 people, not to mention other warriors with lower realms.
Of course, if one was strong enough to reach the Seventh Sky of the Heavy Building Realm or even the Eighth Sky of the Heavy Building Realm, killing a foreign race warrior at the Sixth Sky of the Heavy Building Realm was nothing. However, don't forget that above the Bronze rank commander's battle achievement, there were Silver, Gold, and so on. The battle achievements required would be even higher.
"Now that you are in the Venerable realm, you are already qualified to know this. The stronger one is, the greater the responsibility. I believe you can understand this. The Human Clan's Ancestral Court is not stingy with rewards for warriors with outstanding contributions."
Venerable Ming He's voice once again came to Xiao Chen. Ming He was quite fond of Xiao Chen. Of course, it was because of Xiao Chen's talent and strength.
If Xiao Chen was not good enough and was killed by Venerable Ice outside the Desolate Border City today, there would not be this conversation. As for what kind of punishment Venerable Ice would receive, it went without saying.
"Alright, about the battle achievements, after you drip a drop of blood on the token to recognize the owner, it will automatically connect with the Human Clan's Ancient God Tool, the Dao Tablet. At that time, you will naturally know the questions in your heart. The most important thing is the battle of the River of Hundred Realms that will be coming soon. At that time, the Ancestral Court will summon the entire Desolate Border Region and all the military divisions above the Middle Rank to resist the invasion of the foreign races."
"After Xiao Chen returns to the tribe, he will definitely order the tribe to step up their preparations for war."
Speaking of this, Xiao Chen paused and then asked, "Great Elder, the River of Hundred Realms is erratic, and there are no rules when it appears. I don't know how long it will exist after it appears this time."
"According to the records of the tribe, every time the River of Hundred Realms appears, it can be as long as a few years, or as short as a month. There are no rules to speak of. We can only hope that the River of Hundred Realms will appear for a short time this time."
"This time, you killed Venerable Ice. In the battle of the Boundary River, your Gu Yuan Tribe will have to send at least five Heavenly Building Realm warriors to participate. This will be your punishment for killing Venerable Ice."
After listening to Great Elder Ming He's words, Xiao Chen immediately understood that the Ancestral Court must have known the details of the Gu Yuan Tribe. For the Gu Yuan Tribe, sending five Heavenly Building Realm warriors to participate in the battle would not touch the tribe's bottom line, but it was also within the Gu Yuan Tribe's tolerance.
"Yes!"
Xiao Chen did not hesitate and agreed. Even without this punishment, if the foreign races were rampant in the battle of the Boundary River, he would also send the tribe's warriors to participate. After all, if the line of defense in the Human World was broken, the foreign races would descend into the wilderness and destroy their homes. If their homes were gone, what was the point of preserving their strength?
One day later, when the sun rose.
In a house in the desolate border city, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged. After a long time, he opened his eyes, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
After Xiao Chen dripped his blood on the bronze medallion that Great Venerate Ming He had given him, he finally understood its mysteries. The medallion automatically recorded Xiao Chen's unique aura. This was the origin aura that belonged to every cultivator. No one else could replace it.
Prosperity of humanity!
Stroking the bronze token, the four big seal characters on it were simple and unadorned. When he penetrated his mind into the bronze token, a message appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
Xiao Chen, battle merit, zero, title, none.
At this moment, Xiao Chen had just refined this token, and everything was just in its initial state. The various mysteries that Great Elder Ming He had mentioned could not be reflected at all. As for communicating with the Human Race's Ancient God Weapon, the Dao Tablet, with Xiao Chen's current zero battle merit, he could only stare at it.
As for the Human Race's Ancient God Weapon, the Dao Tablet, Xiao Chen had heard of it. It was the Human Race's first Human Sovereign, the Ancient Desolate Human Sovereign. He had gathered all the divine materials in the world to refine this divine weapon. It could be said to be a communication divine weapon. After all, the Human World was too big. Not to mention the five lands, just the Eastern Wasteland was vast and boundless.
There were five Human Dao Tablets in total. The main body of the divine weapon was in the Human Palace in the Human World's Central Region. The remaining four were clones. They were in the Human Race's Ancestral Court in the North, South, East, and West Regions of the Human World. This way, the Human Race's Ancestral Court in the Five Regions of the Human World could communicate with each other.
Since the Ancient Desolate Human Sovereign, successive Human Sovereigns, as well as other blacksmiths, had continuously refined it until it became what it was today. It could split into countless bronze tokens. Don't underestimate this token because it was also made of divine gold.
"Master." While Xiao Chen was still in a daze, a young voice came from outside the door.
"Come in!" Hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately smiled.
The stone door opened, and a petite purple figure hopped into the room. It was Purple Gleam. Now that the torment of the medicinal fire had been temporarily removed, Purple Gleam's originally small body had become round and round, turning into a pink and jade-carved doll.
