Since the leader of the tribe had given his word, the elders in the hall naturally had no objections. The Combat Masters were the swords of conquest of the tribe. Wherever the sword pointed, the tribe would be protected. Naturally, the stronger the Combat Masters were, the better.
"Reporting to the patriarch, this subordinate has another request!"
Ding Shan did not return to his seat after hearing Xiao Chen's words. Instead, he clasped his fists and said.
"Speak!"
"Patriarch, the War God Palace of our tribe has been established for several years. The geniuses of the War God Palace have also participated in the bloody battle. Among them, the most outstanding ones have already broken through to the Heavenly Building realm at the age of 20. This subordinate sincerely requests the patriarch to allow the War God Palace to recruit the geniuses nurtured by the War God Palace into the Guardian Combat Masters!"
Hua!
Ding Shan's words immediately caused the hall to fall silent. However, in the next moment, a clamor several times louder than before erupted.
"No way!"
"Hall Master Ding, you are trying to monopolize everything. All of our halls need new blood. Why is your War Master Hall the only one?"
"Reporting to the patriarch, our Guard Hall also requests to recruit the genius cultivators of the War God Palace."
"Reporting to the patriarch, our Divine Weapon Hall also needs new cultivators to join us."
…
Ding Shan's words immediately caused the hall to become lively. The various halls of the tribe had been eyeing the young cultivators of the War God Palace for a long time, wishing that they could recruit all of them. However, without Xiao Chen's order, and with the protection of the War God Palace's Palace Master Luo Yunshan, they could only watch helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Ding Shan suddenly made such a request. If they still did not make a move, these geniuses would most likely all be recruited into Ding Shan's Combat Master Hall.
On the other hand, the Palace Master of the War God Palace, Luo Yunshan, was all smiles. Xiao Chen had already informed him that once the cultivators of the War God Palace reached the Heavenly Building realm, they would be able to leave the palace. As for whether they would join the various halls of the Gu Yuan Tribe or roam the world on their own, that would depend on the will of these young cultivators.
Under Xiao Chen's signal, Luo Yunshan stood up. After all, the disciple that he had nurtured was being fought over by so many people in the tribe. Luo Yunshan chuckled and said, "Fellow Hall Masters, please listen to this old man."
Hearing Falling Cloud Mountain's voice, the few Hall Masters who were originally fighting stopped their dispute and looked at him.
"Palace Master Luo, our Combat Master Hall has been heavily supporting the development of the Battle God Palace over the years. This time, the talented cultivators of your Battle God Palace will be accepted into our Combat Master Hall."
"Palace Master Luo, if there is a genius from the Battle God Palace who is willing to join our Battle Master Hall, I will give you ten thousand high-grade Primal Stones as a gift." Ding Shan tried to curry favor with Luo Luo.
"Furthermore, the Combat Master Hall will provide all cultivators who wish to join us with cultivation resources."
In order to recruit talented young martial artists, Ding Shan had paid a huge price at this moment.
"Palace Master Luo, how could the Combat Master Hall possibly have such resources? I think Hall Master Ding is just exaggerating. The resources that we can offer are definitely not inferior to those of the Combat Master Hall."
At this moment, there were also young martial artists of the Battle God Palace in the main hall. Of course, those who could enter the main hall at this moment were naturally cultivators who had already reached the Heaven Building realm. Moreover, they were all around the age of twenty-five, and there were even some who were younger than that.
At this moment, seeing the Hall Masters of the various Halls in the tribe on the verge of fighting for them, a trace of excitement could be seen in their hearts. This meant that their talent had caught the eye of these Hall Masters.
"Well, everyone, this batch of young martial artists is the first batch of martial artists since the establishment of the War God Palace. According to the order of the patriarch, as long as they can be promoted to the Heavenly Building Realm, they can walk out of the War God Palace. As for their choice, the clan will not interfere, even I will not interfere, it is all up to them."
"In the first batch of qualified cultivators of our Battle God Palace, there are a total of 124 people. All of them are at the Heaven Building realm, and the strongest is at the Heaven Building realm at the fourth layer."
There was pride in Falling Cloud Mountain's voice. These talented martial artists were cultivated under his control, and they were all around the bone age of 20.
Every young martial artist among them was a genius that was one in a million or even one in a hundred thousand in the Barren Land. They were even comparable to the direct descendants of the marquis.
"Greetings, Clan Chief!"
In an instant, a group of young martial artists stood up behind Falling Cloud Mountain. Several of Xiao Chen's disciples were naturally among them, and they were the best of the best. However, Wei Yunwei and Ziyuan were not among them. Ziyuan was too young, and Wei Yunwei had been hidden by Xiao Chen.
Moreover, Wei Yunwei's current strength was the highest among his nine disciples. She had even stepped into the Venerable realm. Her strength could not be judged by common sense at all.
"Rise. All of you are the geniuses of our Gu Yuan Tribe, and your future is limitless. Do not be arrogant and conceited. There is no limit to martial arts, and in the Barren Land, only the strong are respected."
Xiao Chen looked at the hundred or so young martial artists with a smile in his eyes. After several years, the Battle God Palace had finally reaped its first harvest.
"Thank you, Clan Chief!"
At this moment, the eyes of these young martial artists were burning with passion. It could be said that Xiao Chen was the footstep in their hearts that they wanted to catch up to.
"Alright, I believe that Palace Master Luo has already told you that advancing to the Heaven Building realm is no longer something that can be achieved by cultivating diligently. You need to temper yourself, so I will not restrict your freedom. All of you have the right to choose. You can choose to join the various halls of the tribe, or you can choose to roam the world on your own."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the hall masters of the various halls of the tribe naturally fell silent. They looked at these young martial artists, wanting to see their choices.
"Reporting to Clan Chief, we wish to roam the world on our own."
"We are willing to join the Combat Master Hall."
"We are willing to join the Dark Guards Hall!"
...
Very soon, some of the young martial artists began to express their wishes. Some were willing to join the various halls, while others wished to roam the world on their own.
These young martial artists who spoke made up only one-fifth of the hundred or so young martial artists. The rest of them did not speak, as if they were waiting for something.
Sure enough, seven figures walked out from the crowd, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed to Xiao Chen.
"Paying respect to Master!"
These seven people were Xiao Chen's disciples. After many years of tempering, the immaturity of these disciples had already vanished, replaced by determination. Even the competitive spirit they had with each other had weakened significantly.
It was not that their competitive spirit had disappeared, but they had hidden it away. They still competed in private.
The seven disciples were all very familiar with the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe. In fact, none of their strength was lower than the Third Firmament of the Heaven Building realm. The strongest had obtained the essence of the Blood Sea in the Battle of Providence and advanced to the Fourth Firmament of the Heaven Building realm.
Moreover, with the blessing of providence, their aptitude had improved significantly.
In private, these disciples of his were all addressed as young masters by the tribe. Of course, this did not mean that they could become Xiao Chen's successor, but as Xiao Chen's direct disciples, they were naturally treated as Xiao Chen's sons. Addressing them as young masters was a form of respect for them.
Moreover, over the years, these disciples of his, whether in the War God Palace or in the tribe, had quite a number of followers.
Naturally, the performance of these disciples did not disappoint Xiao Chen. Not only in terms of their cultivation realm, but also in terms of their comprehension of the mysteries, all of them had astonishing talent.
"Master, during these years, we have a group of followers. Now that the foreign races are in danger in the Desolate Border and are wreaking havoc in the wilderness, we wish to roam around with our followers. We hope that master will allow us to do so."
The disciples knelt on the ground and said to Xiao Chen.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's interest was piqued. He raised his head and looked at the young cultivators who had yet to express their opinions, then looked at the disciples kneeling on the ground. Obviously, these young cultivators who had yet to express their opinions were their followers.
Xiao Chen was naturally aware of the actions of his disciples. However, in the past, in the War God Palace, it was just a small palace, so Xiao Chen did not care much about it.
But now, they had their own opinions. The young eagles had grown up and wanted to leave the tribe. In the future, they would have to face even more dangers. As their Master, he naturally had to understand the movements of his disciples and prevent them from encountering danger.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen said, "You and the others can leave first. After the clan meeting, come to the Green Stone Garden personally."
"Yes!"
After that, Xiao Chen turned his gaze to the Falling Cloud Mountain again. He said, "Palace Master Luo, tell me about the War God Palace's recruitment plan that you have been planning for the past few days."
"Yes!"
The Falling Cloud Mountain nodded and said, "According to the Lord Patriarch's order, this subordinate has drawn up a recruitment plan for the War God Palace."
"In addition to the Martial Dao, the War God Palace will also establish the Alchemy Dao to attract young people with talent in alchemy."
"Establishing the Array Dao to recruit young cultivators with talent in formations."
"Establishing the Physique Dao to attract some cultivators with special bloodlines or talents, as well as those who cannot cultivate Battle Qi, to walk the path of Physique Dao."
"Establishing the Blacksmithing Dao to train craftsmen."
"From now on, the War God Palace will have five branches: Martial Dao, Alchemy Dao, Array Dao, Physique Dao, and Blacksmithing Dao. In the future, if there are other auxiliary functions of the Martial Dao, then another branch will be established."
Soon, the Falling Cloud Mountain reported the expansion plan of the War God Palace to Xiao Chen in front of the elders of the various tribes.
"Also, Patriarch, this subordinate has thought for a long time. Although the War God Palace is based on time, there are still some disadvantages. Some cultivators who cannot break through to the Heavenly Building Realm may be able to stay in the War God Palace for a long time. Therefore, this subordinate requests that the War God Palace be a ten-year period. If one cannot break through to the Heavenly Building Realm within ten years, he must leave the War God Palace!"
