Marquis Baize Division.
In the depths of the Baihua Ancient Forest, there was a wooden hall that was carved out of a huge white birch stump. The layout of the wooden hall was very simple, and there were seven figures sitting in it.
After the Ghost Race suffered heavy losses in the Void Road of the Ghost Race, Marquis Baize Division had been very peaceful recently. Even in the past few months, when the remnants of the foreign races in the Desolate Border Region wreaked havoc and the various human clans attacked the foreign races, Marquis Baize Division just sat on the mountain and watched the wind and rain with ease.
There were seven figures in the main hall, seven Venerables. This was the strength of the number one combat division in the Desolate Border Region. Other than Patriarch Baize Great Venerable Baiyu, there were Baize Clan Leader He Ze, Supreme Elders Baifeng Venerable and Lan Feng Venerable, Great Elder Vajra Venerable, and an old man who was also the Supreme Elder of Baize Marquis Division.
In addition, there was also a young Venerable. His bone age was definitely no more than 50, but his aura was definitely that of a Venerable, and not an ordinary one at that.
"He Ze, have you finished selecting the young warriors to go to the Gu Yuan Tribe?"
Old Ancestor Bai Yu, who was sitting on the main seat, was like an old hunter. He wore a short animal skin shirt, and his face was full of wrinkles. Even his voice sounded weak. He was like an old man who had exhausted his vitality. No one could tell that this old man was a Seventh Heavenly Layer Heavenly Layer Great Sovereign.
"Old Ancestor, it's ready. More than 200 people with bone age under 20, all of them in the Blood Refining Realm, led by White Wolf." At this moment, Venerable He Ze, who was acting majestic in front of the clansmen, said respectfully.
"Good, then let's set off as soon as possible!" Hearing this, Supreme Venerable Baiyu nodded lightly.
"Wait!"
Just as Venerable He Ze accepted the order, a voice sounded, interrupting the two. It was the young Venerable in the main hall.
"Old Ancestor, Father, I don't know what this Gu Yuan Tribe and Xiao Chen has done to deserve our Marquis Baize Division's visit. Isn't it just a tribe that got lucky and became a Venerable? Now, they don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is, and they dare to recruit warriors from other clans to train. They are just clowns. Do you really think that Xiao Chen is so righteous? I think he is just fishing for fame. I am the dignified Baize Division, a tribe that has tens of thousands of years of history, and a small tribe like that is not worthy at all!"
The one who spoke was the young master of Marquis Baize Division, Bai Ming. was only 40 years old this year, and he was already at the peak of the early stage of the Venerable Realm. For most people in the Desolate Wilderness, a 50 years old was was just a warrior.
As the young master of the number one combat division in the Desolate Border Region, he instinctively felt uncomfortable with Xiao Chen, who was younger than him and whose fame shook the Desolate Wilderness.
"Shut up!" Venerable He Ze immediately shouted, "How can you refute the Old Ancestor's decision!"
Although he didn't understand why his Old Ancestor would send his tribe's warriors to the Gu Yuan Tribe to be trained, offer a large number of gifts, and even come uninvited, Venerable He Ze firmly believed in his Old Ancestor's words.
At this time, Old Ancestor Baiyu raised his head and looked at his junior, but there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes. He then said indifferently, "This time, the Great Elder will lead the team. You and the Great Elder will also go to the Gu Yuan Tribe. Once you arrive, you will understand why the Old Ancestor asked me, Baize, to cast aside my dignity and give face to a small tribe that has only been established for a few years. Moreover, I came uninvited!"
Finally, in the face of the Old Ancestor's dignity, Bai Ming was finally defeated. He walked out of the hall with the Great Elder, Venerable Vajra, and prepared to go to the Gu Yuan Tribe.
This time, the Gu Yuan Tribe's establishment of the God of War Palace was not publicized. Moreover, Xiao Chen only gave the four nearby tribes a quota of 100 people each. Although it was a large number, he underestimated the reaction of the entire Desolate Border Region to the God of War Palace.
As the number one tribe in the Desolate Border Region, the Baize Marquis Division had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and its influence spread throughout the entire Desolate Border Region. The news of the God of War Palace quickly spread to the Baize Marquis Division, which naturally made everyone in the Baize Marquis Division laugh.
A small tribe that didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth had become a laughing stock. However, no one expected that the Old Ancestor, who had returned from the Ancestral Court, would immediately make a decision. The Baize Marquis Division would also send warriors to participate in the God of War Palace's assessment, even if they were uninvited.
The Baize Marquis Division was ranked as a Great Venerate Marquis Division, while the Gu Yuan Tribe was only ranked as a Mid-Grade Marquis Division. Although their current strength was comparable to an Upper-Grade Combat Division or even a Marquis Division, how could a tribe that had only been established for a few years have a foundation better than a Marquis Division?
The gap between them was as vast as the ocean. No matter how much they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out why the Old Ancestor would make such a decision. Furthermore, the Baize Tribe had taken out a large number of gifts, as if they were begging the Gu Yuan Tribe to take in the Baize Tribe's warriors.
"Old Ancestor, could it be that the Gu Yuan Tribe really has an unknown secret?"
After a long time, Venerable He Ze, who had thought about it over and over again, finally asked. When he had invited Xiao Chen to help in the expedition against the Ghost Race, he had been shocked by Xiao Chen's talent and strength. He had to admit that his own Bai Ming was no match for Xiao Chen. This was an all-round advantage in terms of talent and combat power.
After a long time, Old Ancestor Baiyu said faintly, "Bone age less than 30, consummate Venerable, qualified to become a King!"
What!
Qualified to become a King!
"Old Ancestor, you said something about consummate Venerable and what do you mean qualified to become a King. Could it be that Xiao Chen has already advanced to consummate Venerable?" After a moment of absent-mindedness, the warriors in the hall finally reacted.
What did it mean to become a King? Xiao Chen and the others had seen it with their own eyes. Moreover, they had fought side by side against the Ghost Race. Xiao Chen was at the middle stage of the Venerable, but the Old Ancestor said that he was a consummate Venerable. Could it be that in just a few months, Xiao Chen had advanced two small levels in one step? This cultivation speed was simply unheard of.
"The southwest border of the Desolate Border Region can be said to be a barren land. To be able to lead the tribe to rise in that barren land, that Xiao Chen must be a person with great luck. Now that his bone age is less than 30, he has already reached the consummate Venerable. This is definitely a prosperous destiny. Moreover, during this trip to the Human Race's Ancestral Court, Old Ancestor obtained a trace of a secret from the Ancestral Court. Perhaps, the destiny of our Desolate Border Region is returning!"
Old Ancestor Baiyu's turbid eyes flashed with a bright light. Although there were some secrets that the Ancestral Court's Grand Elder did not mention to him when he talked, he could still guess some of them. Coupled with the changes in the Desolate Border Region over the past few hundred years, he naturally made some plans.
"Old Ancestor, is what you said true?"
Venerable He Ze's eyes were also filled with surprise. Could it be that the destiny of the Desolate Border Region was really returning to the great era of tens of thousands of years ago?
"It's true that my Baize Marquis Division has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, but the path of destiny is illusory. Everyone with great destiny is different. If the warriors of my Baize Marquis Division join the War God Palace, we can more or less connect with the destiny of the War God Palace. If we can befriend them, even if the Gu Yuan Tribe stops where they are, it's just a waste of some resources!"
Tiantai Army.
As the number one high-grade army in the Desolate Border Region, the Tiantai Army's strength had always suppressed the other high-grade army divisions. There were even rumors in the Great Desolate Region that the Tiantai Army had already accumulated enough resources to become a marquis army division thousands of years ago. However, the tribe's ambition was too great. They were not willing to become an ordinary marquis army division, so they had been silently accumulating their strength.
In the depths of the Tiantai's military department, there was a palace. It was made of pure white jade, surrounded by a clear lake. Beautiful flowers were blooming around the lake. The flowers were beautiful, but they were also very flexible. Countless drops of water fell from the lake like pearls bouncing up from the lake.
In the palace, there were many big and small crystal stones, which illuminated the entire palace. In one of the palaces of the palace, there was a woman wearing a white dress. Her black hair was like a waterfall, it was straight down to her waist. She had a beautiful face and an indescribable charm. It was Tiantai Xuan.
At that moment, Tiantai's Goddess was releasing a mysterious Qi. Between her eyebrows, there was a mysterious Qi. She looked a bit hazy, like a fairy in the clouds. Her strength was even more mysterious than when she had been in the depths of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Chain to fight for the spiritual wood.
"Xiao Yun!"
After a long time, Tiantai's goddess said in a low voice. "Are the cultivators who are going to the Gu Yuan Tribe to participate in the exam ready?"
"Yes, they're ready," replied a maid standing next to her.
"Go tell the leader that they're ready to go."
"Yes, Palace Master!" After the maid heard this, she immediately retreated respectfully.
The maid went to pass the order. Tiantai Xuan's eyes flashed with an indescribable emotion. She looked at the spirit flowers in the lake outside of the palace and fell into a reverie. The next moment, a divine light flashed between her eyebrows. When the divine light disappeared, she disappeared without a trace.
Xiao Chen, who was still immersed in nurturing the tribe's Combat Formation Master, did not know that his actions had shaken up the many giants of the Desolate Border Region. It was not just the human combat divisions but even the wanderers and loose cultivators of the Desolate Border Region who heard the news started to gather at the Gu Yuan Tribe.
In the Gu Yuan Tribe.
During the past few months, several palaces had been built in their respective secret realms. Now, there were the Law Enforcement Hall, the Martial Path Hall, the Martial Arts Hall, the Dark Guards Hall, the Hundred Herb Hall, the Divine Weapon Hall, the Internal Affairs Hall, the Elders Hall, the Imperial Beast Hall, the Full Moon Hall, and the Combat Master Hall.
In the secret realms of the Combat Master Hall, the cultivators who had consumed the Martial Path Pill entered the Blood Pool to stimulate their potential. With a sufficient supply of pills and elixirs, there were thirty thousand cultivators in the Gu Yuan Tribe who had exhausted their potential. They had consumed the Martial Path Pill and advanced to the Blood Refining Realm.
Of course, the price they had to pay was extremely huge. Even with the protection of the clan's elders, more than three thousand of the thirty thousand martial artists had either exploded and died, or had their tendons and meridians severed, becoming crippled. It could be said that ten percent of the martial artists had died.
