The Firmament Talisman King's lips twitched for a moment. Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't show anything.
The Firmament Talisman King had attained the Dao through talismans. This King's Secret Treasure was naturally formed from the talismans he had derived.
The secret treasure was a palm-sized hexagonal, and it was only the size of a palm. However, the faint aura of a King made one's heart palpitate.
The densely packed talismans were interconnected, layer by layer, and the patterns were clear. Tens of thousands of talismans were concentrated in a palm-sized area.
"The war is imminent. Although we humans have used our trump cards to block the foreign races outside the Dongxu Realm, the human combat divisions of the Eastern Wilderness still need to send troops to attack the foreign races. Go back and prepare for war!"
The Firmament Talisman King's voice sounded again after seeing that Xiao Chen had put away the jade talisman.
Xiao Chen bowed again to express his gratitude. No matter what, the Firmament Talisman King had helped him a lot. He would never forget this human senior's protection.
"This King will send you back. Remember not to speak about Otaku. This King will personally warn Zi Yang."
"I will remember!"
The next moment, the Firmament Talisman King didn't say anything else. He swept Xiao Chen up and left the Secret Realm of War.
Sensing the soaring killing intent in the Secret Realm and the human combat masters ready for battle, Xiao Chen's blood boiled again. He couldn't let go.
Ancient Yuan Tribe.
Xiao Chen returned to the desolate border and entered the Ancient Bronze City.
The current Ancient Bronze City was somewhat different from the battle a few months ago. The city walls had risen by another ten meters, and the Floating Island from the Xue Fainting Family had been integrated into the city. The results could already be seen.
Xiao Chen went straight to the main hall at the top of the bronze tower in the center of the tribe.
The appearance of the main hall had also changed.
The lotus platform where the Ancient Bronze City's artifact soul was located had changed. It had expanded several times, and the entire platform was shining brightly. In the center of the platform, the artifact soul, Green Spirit, sensed Xiao Chen's arrival and opened its eyes.
"Greetings, Master." The small artifact's soul spread its wings and flew up from the lotus throne towards Xiao Chen.
"Qing Ling, how's the restoration of the ancient city?" Xiao Chen asked impatiently.
"Master, after devouring the divine materials and Void Crystals contained in that Floating Void Island, the Ancient Bronze City has been repaired to 80%."
"What kind of realm is 80%?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Reporting to Master, the current Ancient Bronze City can be expanded by several times if needed. The height of the city walls will increase by a thousand feet. The damaged Primal Stone Cannons on the city walls have been completely repaired. There are 108 Primal Stone Cannons on each side of the city walls."
Green Spirit flapped her wings, flashing in front of Xiao Chen as she murmured softly, "But it's a pity that raising the grade of the Primordial Stone Cannon requires fire-attributed Divine Metal and corresponding conversion formations."
Due to the previous Providence Blood Sacrifice, most of the Gu Yuan Tribe's clansmen lived in the Secret Realm, causing the entire tribe's city to be sparsely populated.
However, this time, Xiao Chen had returned from the Secret Realm of War and witnessed how the human race accumulated their foundation. The tribe's Secret Realm was a good place to do so.
Since the Gu Yuan Tribe had such convenience, he could naturally use it as a reference.
Just like what the Heavenly Talisman King had said, every year, they would secretly search for some young children from the entire desolate border region and bring them into the Secret Realm to be nurtured. In the long run, they would definitely become an extremely powerful force.
Furthermore, the tribe's city was too sparsely populated. It just so happened that the Ancient Bronze City had been upgraded and its defense had been enhanced. Xiao Chen was prepared to move the clansmen in the Secret Realm back to live in the city. Only then would the tribe's vitality and vitality be displayed.
After all, the Gu Yuan Tribe's roots were in the desolate border, and they were going to be in charge of the desolate border. Only by living under the sky of the desolate border would the clansmen have a deeper sense of this world.
"Apart from that, the ancient city can also be surrounded by 36 defensive towers."
However, what Green Spirit said next piqued Xiao Chen's interest.
Rumble!
Almost in an instant, there was a rumble in the Ancient Bronze City. Bronze pagodas that flickered coldly rose from the ground.
Every bronze pagoda was thousands of feet tall. At the top of the pagoda was a defensive tower.
"Master, as for the weapons on these pagodas, I'll need you to think of a way!"
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed as he looked at the huge bronze pagodas that rose from the ground. They occupied hundreds of feet and were thousands of feet tall. Furthermore, these bronze pagodas did not include the huge turrets at the four corners of the ancient city and the turrets at the top of the city every ten miles!
Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. He still remembered what Green Spirit had said. The Ancient Bronze City had the potential to continuously evolve, but it needed a large amount of divine gold and divine materials.
Now, with the help of the Xuehun Family's floating island, the ancient city had been restored to 80%. Of course, this 80% was only the initial 80% of the Ancient Bronze City.
Even so, it was enough for the current Gu Yuan Tribe!
"Green Spirit, I'm going to move the clansmen out of the Secret Realm and into the ancient city. Come and reorganize the layout of the entire ancient city."
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Chen instructed.
"Yes, Master," Green Spirit replied obediently.
Then, Xiao Chen sent a voice transmission to the Great Elder, asking the clansmen in the ancient city to hide in the Secret Realm. Very soon, the entire ancient city became empty.
Rumble!
In an instant, the entire Ancient Bronze City's walls rose to three thousand feet, surrounding the entire ancient city. Cultivators who passed by from the outside could no longer see anything in the city.
Rumble!
Rumble!
In the next moment, the entire Ancient Bronze City underwent an earth-shattering change. This was a rebirth.
Apart from the Ancient Bronze Pagoda under Xiao Chen's feet, the few Star Palaces, and the stone garden where the Divine Cauldron of Fate were placed, everything else was being reborn.
Various types of large halls were formed in various parts of the ancient city. They were arranged in four different directions, appearing in a messy manner. However, there was an indescribable profoundness in their arrangement, which served as the foundation of the great formation.
Zhou Tian Star Sky Sealing Great Formation!
"Master, the Zhou Tian Star Sky Sealing Great Formation, which uses one hundred and eight palaces as the foundation of the formation, has yet to be completely repaired. Only seventy-two palaces have been repaired."
Following Green Spirit's words, Xiao Chen's gaze swept across the one hundred and eight palaces that had appeared in the ancient city. Although all the palaces had appeared, only seventy-two palaces were shining with starlight.
"The seventy-two palaces are the foundation of the formation, forming a Sky Sealing Great Formation. It can imprison half-step King Realm warriors." Green Spirit's voice sounded again.
Rumble!
Then, ancient mountains appeared one after another in the ancient city. However, they were barren and even had a hint of luster. There were thirty-six of them in total. Under Xiao Chen's instructions, each of them was no more than a hundred feet tall.
Soon, under Xiao Chen's instructions, houses and pavilions began to appear in the ancient city. The streets were extremely wide and crisscrossed like a chessboard.
These houses and pavilions were supported by one hundred and eight palaces and were distributed throughout the ancient city. They were simple and unadorned, like the dwelling of a beast.
There were also storehouses, martial arts arenas, and all kinds of auxiliary buildings. It was enough to accommodate all the people of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Of course, some of the main palaces of the Gu Yuan Tribe had not changed. Some of the palaces had even become a lot bigger. For example, the War God Palace. This time, Xiao Chen had directly marked out an area with a circumference of twenty miles in the city as the War God Palace.
Several hours later, Xiao Chen looked at the new appearance of the Gu Yuan Tribe and nodded with satisfaction.
Soon, the Great Elder and the Third Elder walked out of the secret realm and looked at the changed appearance of the tribe. After a while of shock, they walked toward Xiao Chen, who was standing under the bronze tower in the center.
"Greetings, Chief!" The two of them greeted Xiao Chen.
"Elders, you don't have to be so polite." Xiao Chen gestured for the two elders to stand up.
"The two elders have arranged for all the people in the secret realm to move back to the tribe. Now that the tribe has the strength to protect them, the tribe will offer sacrifices to the tribe and take charge of the desolate border. Only by staying in this world can we truly receive the gifts of the land."
"Yes!"
"Also, I'm going to break through in seclusion. When Elder Xue Sha comes out of seclusion, just let him go to the Crystal Stone Mountain Range to oversee it. There's no need to wait for me. Once the South Town City is built, I'll go there myself!"
After arranging the tribe's affairs, Xiao Chen entered the Seal of Mountains and Rivers in a flash. The matter of moving the people back to the ancient city would naturally be handled by the two elders.
In the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.
Xiao Chen did not immediately go into seclusion. Instead, he began to check the harvest from the battle in the Crystal Stone Mountain Range.
Even though the Void Crystals had been damaged due to the Blood Race's Half King's self-destruction, the divine materials were still there.
"Master, there are a total of 32,000 complete Void Crystals and about 50,000 broken ones."
When Lili appeared, she told Xiao Chen about her harvest this time.
"There are also various divine materials. There are about two thousand jun of divine materials. Most of them are ordinary divine materials — Black Metal and Divine Gold — accounting for more than eighty percent. They should be used to forge the formation foundation. The rest are ninety-nine pillars made of Divine Earth Gold, as well as divine materials Cold Iron Sand and divine materials Cloud Mud."
At this point, Lorie paused and flew to Xiao Chen. She opened her little hands and said to Xiao Chen as if she was presenting a treasure, "The most important thing is this."
There was a silvery-white crystal in her little hands. An illusory figure was constantly being produced. This was the birth and destruction of space. It was extremely mysterious.
"Void Divine Gold!"
Looking at the bean-sized silvery-white crystal in Lorie's little hands, Xiao Chen could not help but cry out.
Void Divine Gold was definitely the most top-notch divine gold. Just a handful of it in Lorie's hands was worth far more than the divine gold and divine materials mentioned earlier.
There were a total of ninety-nine of them. They were only the size of half a fist, but their value was immeasurable. They could even be used as materials to forge a King's Weapon!
