"Ninth grade!"
Xiao Chen's voice resounded in the hall. Xiao Chen did not hide it from the three elders in front of him. When he ascended to the Heavenly Building Realm, both he and the Gu Yuan Tribe were extremely weak. If he revealed that he had reached the ninth grade Heavenly Building Realm, it would only bring endless danger.
Now that he was a Great Sovereign, and the Gu Yuan Tribe was comparable to a Great Sovereign Marquis Combat Division. Moreover, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds in the past few years. Many martial artists in the Desolate Border had long speculated about it. Now, even if he did not hide it, he had the power to protect himself!
Whoosh!
As his voice faded, the breathing of the three in the hall became heavy. Even if they had their own speculations, when Xiao Chen personally admitted it, the three also felt that it was somewhat unreal.
The ninth grade Heavenly Building Realm was less than thirty Sovereigns.
No!
It should be called the Thirty Great Sovereign Realm!
Even if Xiao Chen lacked a fortuitous encounter in the future and could not ascend to that supreme realm, as long as he did not die, he would definitely ascend to the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm, or even become a half-step King. This was an existence that could suppress a Legendary Marquis Division.
It should be known that the strength of the entire Desolate Border Human Race's Ancestral Court added up was only comparable to the Human Race's level. Since the Supreme Purple Gold King Division was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago, the Desolate Border had been in constant war. Legendary Marquis Divisions had not existed in the Desolate Border for tens of thousands of years.
"Haha, I knew it, I knew it. The heavens are protecting my Desolate Border!"
"The heavens are protecting my Desolate Border!" Elder Shi laughed heartily, but there was a hint of sobbing in his voice. This was tears of joy.
Without a King to suppress the Human Race, when faced with the invasion of the Hundred Races, the Human Race was inherently weaker. Even though the Eastern Wasteland had Human Race Kings patrolling the Void, without a native King, the countless Human Race in the Desolate Border Region had no backbone.
This was what the Ancestral Court of the Desolate Border could do, because without a King, they lacked peak combat power that could decide everything. In the eyes of the Human Race, a King was a monument and a pillar of spiritual support!
"Alright!"
Great Venerable Ming He was also pleasantly surprised. Although he wasn't born and raised in the Desolate Region, he had been the Great Elder of the Ancestral Court for more than a thousand years. The Desolate Region was like his second home.
"The heavens are protecting my Desolate Border. Starting from the destruction of this great earth's unmatched Purple-Gold King Army, my Desolate Border Region has already sunk for tens of thousands of years. Now, it has finally revived, the great situation is about to descend!"
Supremacy Jiao didn't say anything, but his expression was also one of satisfaction. He had been in slumber for a long time. Even in his era, there were very few martial artists as talented as Xiao Chen. Furthermore, this wasn't the most important thing. As Xiao Chen's strength continued to rise, a powerful tribe had also risen up behind him.
After a long time, the three in the hall calmed down. Then, Prime Venerate Ming He said, "Alright. Xiao Chen summoned you to the Ancestral Court this time. As for the purpose of your visit, Xue Gu should have already told you, right?"
"That's right, Senior Xue Gu has already told me the news!" Xiao Chen replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"The new Court Master will arrive in three days. At that time, the strongest tribes of the Desolate Border and some Venerables will all rush to the Ancestral Court. Firstly, it's to welcome the new Court Master, and secondly, it's to discuss how our Desolate Border Region should deal with the crisis of the foreign races!"
"May I ask who the new Court Master is!?"
Xiao Chen asked softly. He was very curious about this new Court Master. After all, the human race of the Desolate Border was weak, and it was the place where the situation was most likely to deteriorate during the war with the foreign races. Descending to the Desolate Border to become the Court Master of the Ancestral Court, and receiving such an order in the face of danger, this new Court Master was definitely not simple.
"According to the news from the Ancestral Court, the new Court Master is an elder of the Eastern Imperial Palace of the Eastern Wasteland. As for which elder it is, it's still unclear!"
Great Venerate Ming He did not hide anything from Xiao Chen's question, telling him the news he received.
"There are a total of 99 elders in the Eastern Imperial Palace of the Eastern Wasteland, and to become an elder of the Eastern Imperial Palace, one must at least have the cultivation of the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm."
The 99 elders were all experts above the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm!
However, after a while, Xiao Chen was relieved. There were hundreds of human regions like the Desolate Border Region in the Eastern Imperial Mortal World. In terms of area, the Desolate Border Region was only at the lower middle level. However, in a small region like the Desolate Border Region, there were hundreds of millions of humans. If all the humans in the Eastern Wasteland were added up, the number of humans would be an astronomical figure. With such a number, it was not a big deal to have 99 elders.
Of course, in addition to the elders in the Eastern Imperial Palace, there were definitely more experts at the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm in the entire Eastern Imperial Mortal World.
There were still three days before the arrival of the new Court Master, so Xiao Chen was naturally arranged to stay in the Ancestral Court. He was arranged to stay in a palace deep in the Ancestral Court. Although it was called a palace, it could even be seen as a small Blessed Enclave. It occupied an area of about a mile, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth was dozens of times denser than in the outside world.
This was because there was a Spirit-gathering Formation in the palace. This palace was one of the huge palaces that Xiao Chen had seen when he came to the Ancestral Court of the Human Race and entered the treasury. Now that many Venerables in the Desolate Border Region had been awakened, these palaces that had been silent for a long time were opened again.
In these three days, Xiao Chen once again had a better understanding of the strength of the Ancestral Court of the Desolate Border Region. Among these awakened experts of the older generation, there were nearly a hundred in the Venerable Realm, more than ten in the Great Venerable Realm, and as for the Supreme Venerable Realm, there was only one Supreme Venerable Jiao that he had seen.
The common characteristic of these Human Race Almighties was that they were already old and their potential had been exhausted. They did not even have much lifespan left, and their bodies exuded an aura of decay and decay. All of them came from the last ten thousand years, and very few of them came from the same era.
However, they voluntarily sealed themselves in the blood stones for the same purpose: to protect the bloodline of the Human Race, to defend the land of inheritance, even if they died!
The martial artists that Xiao Chen had seen could be said to be all the strength that the entire Ancestral Court of the Desolate Border Region had accumulated. Xiao Chen seemed to have a hundred Venerables, but it was far from enough to face the allied forces of the Foreign Race.
Similarly, during these three days, Xiao Chen had sat down and discussed martial arts with these older martial artists, and learned some secrets. Perhaps Xiao Chen no longer cared about their strength, but as they had lived for a long time, they also learned more secrets. Now that they had awakened again, they wanted to use their blood to fight the Foreign Race, and they were already prepared to die. They were happy to tell some of the secrets that they knew to Xiao Chen.
At the same time, Xiao Chen also saw Elder Blood Bone, as well as Elder Mo, who had gone against the Bloodmoon Wolf Ancestor with him a few years ago. Compared to a few years ago, Elder Mo looked even older. His back was even hunched, but the will in his heart was not bent.
Very soon, Bai Ze, Tiantai, Jingshi, Tianhu, and the other large battle divisions, as well as their ancestors, had all rushed to the Human Race's Ancestral Court. The rise of the Gu Yuan Tribe had caused conflicts with these few large tribes, but in the face of the current crisis in the Human World, the original disputes between the few large tribes were nothing.
They had practically wiped off all enmity with a smile. Perhaps there was a grudge in their hearts, but at this moment, everyone had buried this grudge deep in their hearts. Now that the great calamity had descended, if they were to be entangled in such internal disputes, it would be pushing their own tribes into a pit of fire.
Three days later.
"Everyone, the new court master of my Desolate Border Region will descend at noon today. Everyone, follow me to welcome the new court master!"
Supreme Venerable Ming He shouted in a deep voice in the hall.
Although it was said to be a welcome, only Xiao Chen and the other elders and ancestors of the few large tribes, as well as the experts of the Ancestral Court at the seventh Heavenly Layer of the Heavenly Layer and above. As for the experts of the Ancestral Court below the Great Venerable stage, they were not included. Although the elders and ancestors of the few large tribes were also at the Venerable stage, they represented the strongest tribes of the Desolate Border Region, so they were naturally qualified to go.
A group of dozens of people strode forward, but their pace was not fast. The experts of the Ancestral Court followed to the right of Supreme Venerable Ming He, while Xiao Chen and the other tribe leaders were to the left of Supreme Venerable Ming He.
Everyone walked towards the depths of the Ancestral Court, almost to the deepest part of the Ancestral Court. The Desolate Border Region was an important foundation, a Void Teleportation Array. The Desolate Border Region was located at the southernmost part of the Eastern Wasteland. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of miles away it was from the Eastern Emperor Region, which was at the center of the Eastern Wasteland. This Void Teleportation Array was a safe passage from the Desolate Border Region to the outside world.
Very quickly, everyone entered a stone palace. The entire stone palace was under the strict protection of the Ancestral Court. At a glance, there was a hundred-foot-wide silver stone platform in the depths of the palace. There were four towering pillars at the four corners of the stone platform. At this moment, silver light was constantly being emitted from the four pillars and gathered at the center of the stone platform.
When everyone stepped into the hall, they were immediately engulfed by the silver-white radiance. Even the ground under their feet was surging with mysterious silver veined patterns. The Void Teleportation Formation had existed in this hall for far too long, so much so that even the hall was filled with the Void Energy emitted by the Void Teleportation Formation.
At the center of the stone platform was a silver vortex that was a hundred feet in size. Xiao Chen was extremely familiar with this Void Teleportation Array. There was one in his Gu Yuan Tribe, but this one was still in operation.
