"That's not the Fourth Heavenly Layer at all, but the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm."
Accompanied by the exclamations of countless warriors, a different voice drowned out the others, causing the crowd to suddenly stop shouting.
As expected of the ruler of the desolate border, the tribe's strength made them look up to him!
A Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm was enough to support an upper-grade combat division, and a Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm was enough to make an upper-grade combat division reach its peak. However, in their eyes, a Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Heavy Building Realm was just a combat master commander.
Although there were many Heavy Building Realm warriors in the Gu Yuan Tribe, there were also many Heavy Building Realm warriors in the Desolate Border Region, adding up to more than 10,000 people.
But to put it bluntly, in the Desolate Border Region, or even the entire Human Realm, warriors who could reach the Heavy Building Realm were all above the intermediate level of martial arts.
Take the Desolate Border Region for example. There were billions of people in the Desolate Border Region, but there were only 10,000 Heavy Building Realm warriors. Those who could advance to the Heavy Building Realm were all one in ten thousand.
Based on this calculation, there were too few warriors who could advance to the Heavy Building Realm. However, because of the Gu Yuan Tribe's tribe ceremony, the number of Heavy Building Realm warriors seemed to be huge.
At this moment, in front of the city gate facing Desolate Border City, a path was opened up among the countless crowds. In these paths, there were warriors with extraordinary auras.
These warriors were divided into groups of various sizes, but the three leaders were familiar to many warriors in the Desolate Border Region.
Whitzard, Jingshi, Tianhu.
At this moment, the chiefs of the three marquis combat divisions of the Desolate Border Region, Venerable Heze, and the others walked out of the crowd, followed by a group of elders of the tribe.
The chiefs of the three marquis combat divisions looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. In the past, when they went out, they all flew in the air. But today, in the Gu Yuan Tribe, even though they were ten miles away from the ancient city, they had to land on the ground and walk.
Within a radius of hundreds of miles outside the ancient bronze city, no one dared to fly in the air!
They had even come to the Gu Yuan Tribe two days in advance, just to wait for this moment.
Today, the Gu Yuan tribe would become the overlord of the entire Desolate Border. Even if they had other thoughts in their hearts, they had no choice but to put them away. If they offended the dignity of the overlord of the Desolate Border, it would not just be their own problem.
The Gu Yuan Tribe could even defeat their respective tribes. Even if they were the chiefs of the Marquis Tribes and were Venerables, they would not be able to resist at all!
After the three marquis divisions were the upper class Xuan Qing Battalion and the upper class Zi Lun Battalion. Right now, there were only two upper class battalions in the Desolate Border that were relatively complete.
After the two upper rank battles, what was left was the middle rank combat divisions of the Desolate Border Region.
Apart from that, there were also some Lord Rangers from places where Rangers gathered, some powerhouses among rogue Rangers, such as the Lord of Thorn Castle, as well as powerhouses among Rangers such as Venerable Sword Edge and Venerable Windshadow.
At this moment, all of them were standing before the ancient bronze city.
Wu wu wu!
The bleak bugle horn became hurried again. It sounded nine times in a row, piercing through the blue dome of heaven.
"Desolate Border's White Marsh has come to pay respects to Desolate Border's Duke Gu Yuan's troops."
The sound of the bugle horn was like a signal. Clan Chief Bai Ze cupped his fist and shouted in the direction of the ancient bronze city.
"Approved!"
In front of the ancient bronze city, the ten thousand Battle Masters instantly roared towards the sky. Violent blood energy surged, erupting with a majestic and cold baleful aura.
Then, the Baize Marquis Tribe's chief led the two elders behind him towards the ancient bronze city.
"Desolate Border's Sky Platform has come to pay respects to Desolate Border's Duke Gu Yuan's troops."
"Desolate Border's Crystal has come to pay respects to Desolate Border's Duke Gu Yuan's troops."
"Desolate Border's Sky Lake has come to pay respects to Desolate Border's Duke Gu Yuan's troops."
…
"Desolate Border's Xuan Qing has come to pay respects to Desolate Border's Duke Gu Yuan's troops."
…
"Approved!
Approved!
Approved! "
Consecutive shouts rang out. The ten thousand Battle Masters roared in unison. It was only in front of one city gate, but in the next moment, all the Battle Masters in front of the four city gates roared towards the sky. Their rising auras soared into the sky, engulfing a hundred li!
The tribes of the Desolate Border Region had to pay their respects outside the ancient city. Only after obtaining the permission of the Battle Masters could they enter the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Today, they had to look up to the Gu Yuan Tribe and prostrate themselves at the feet of the Gu Yuan Tribe!
"Desolate Border's Wanderer Jian Feng has heard that the Duke Gu Yuan's troops have advanced to the Legend rank. Under the emperor's orders, he is in charge of the Desolate Border and enfeoffed the various tribes. Today, during the great ceremony, he has come to pay his respects. He wishes to be enfeoffed by the Duke, gather the people, and establish a bloodline!"
After the chiefs of the Desolate Border's middle-tier and above tribes entered the ancient bronze city, the Wanderer Jian Feng's voice sounded.
"Approved!"
As the ten thousand Battle Masters roared, the Wanderer Jian Feng bowed respectfully again before stepping into the ancient city.
Following that, there were more Wanderer martial artists who bowed respectfully in front of the city gates. They were all wandering cultivators who wanted the Gu Yuan Tribe to bestow divine items and establish their own tribes!
"Desolate Border's Wanderer forces, Thorn Fort and Boundless Mountain, have heard of the Desolate Border's Duke's edict and have come to pay their respects. We wish to receive the Duke's grace and bestow divine items to gather destiny and establish our own tribes!"
Very soon, these wandering cultivators and the leaders of the wandering forces received permission to enter the Gu Yuan Tribe.
"Snow Jade Marquis Division of the Snow Snow Region congratulates the Gu Yuan Tribe for becoming a Legend Marquis Division."
"Linghai Marquis Division of the Myriad Spirit Region congratulates the Gu Yuan Tribe for becoming a Legend Marquis Division."
"Green Mountain Marquis Division of the Myriad Mountain Region congratulates the Gu Yuan Tribe for becoming a Legend Marquis Division."
…
The Gu Yuan Tribe's promotion to the Legend Marquis Division and its domination of the Desolate Border also caused a great commotion in the surrounding regions. The strength of a Legend Marquis Division would also bring immeasurable influence to the surrounding human regions. Of course, only marquis combat divisions were qualified to attend!
"Qinghui Marquis Division of the Legend Marquis Division of the Southern Region congratulates the Gu Yuan Tribe for becoming a Lord and becoming a Legend Marquis Division!"
At this moment, from the back of the crowd, a voice came through the noise and directly entered the ears of every cultivator.
What!
The fact that marquis divisions from the surrounding regions had come to attend the ceremony already made the martial artists gathered outside the ancient bronze city very excited. After all, this was the unprecedented golden age of the Desolate Border.
The Desolate Border had been silent for too long, so long that few martial artists from other regions cared about it.
But now, they actually heard that there were even Legend Marquis Divisions coming to attend the ceremony, and they came from the distant Southern Region!
The Legend Qinghui Marquis Division!
A path opened up in the crowd, and the figure of an old man walked out from behind. This old man was the Bronze Tower Master, Qing Yu.
Just as countless martial artists outside the ancient bronze city were shocked, everyone in the Gu Yuan Tribe was wearing gorgeous battle clothes or armor.
Outside the stone garden where the Bian Aragami Cauldron was placed was a huge altar!
The altar was divided into five levels, and each level was nine meters tall. However, it took up an area of one mile!
At this moment, there was an incomparably huge bronze cauldron around the altar. Raging flames burned in the cauldron, and the martial artists of the Gu Yuan Tribe were constantly pouring fragrant pills into it.
As these fragrant pills, which were made from spices mixed with the precious blood of fierce beasts, were poured into the cauldron, purple smoke visible to the naked eye rushed out of the raging flames, turning into purple and blue clouds that firmly surrounded the entire altar!
Xiao Chen was alone. He was dressed in purple and blue battle clothes and had a light purple and gold cloak draped on his back. The cloak was embroidered with mountains, rivers, the earth, and ancient forests, with the sun, moon, and stars on top.
If one looked closely, they would find that the embroidery on the cloak showed the entire territory of the Desolate Border Region. This cloak was embroidered by Mu Qing and the women of the tribe for a full month before it was completed.
Below the altar, a team of 100 soldiers surrounded it. Each of these soldiers had a cultivation of the Heavenly Floor Realm. At this moment, they were wearing blue armor and holding long spears, looking extraordinary.
Not far below the altar, there were two people. They were the Great Elder of the Ancestral Court, Great Venerable Ming He, and Elder Shi.
The two of them had come to the Gu Yuan Tribe to discuss the handover matters. However, they did not leave, because the following sacrificial ceremony was too complicated. At least, the ceremony would be more than ten times more complicated than the Gu Yuan Tribe's sacrificial ceremony.
Similarly, there had not been a Legendary Tribe in the Desolate Border Region for 10,000 years, let alone such a vast and complicated sacrificial ceremony that was conferred by the Eastern Emperor as a territory.
Even Venerable Ming He and Elder Shi had read the ancient books in the Ancestral Court for a long time. They had even brought the ancient books to the Gu Yuan Tribe and discussed with the elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe for a long time before they could support today's sacrificial ceremony!
In front of the altar, the many tribes and rangers who had come to participate in the Gu Yuan Tribe's sacrificial ceremony had already found their positions under the guidance of the warriors of the tribe.
"Patriarch, it's almost time. We can invite the Ten Thousand Tribe Stele!" Soon, the voice of the Great Elder was heard.
In front of the fire of the Ancestral Court, there was a Ten Thousand Tribe Stele made of Nine Sun Divine Copper. It was where the tribes of the Desolate Border Region were branded. The name of the Gu Yuan Tribe was branded on it.
However, on the Ten Thousand Tribe Stele, the name of the Gu Yuan Tribe was already ranked first. Its power directly surpassed the sum of the other tribes with their marks.
Rumble!
At this moment, the entire ground rumbled once again. The ancient bronze city shook and countless people were shocked, especially the warriors who had come to watch the ceremony around the altar.
This was because the land within a radius of 20 miles around the altar had risen out of thin air, while the walls around the ancient bronze city had fallen. In just a few breaths' time, the originally 1,000-foot-tall city walls had become less than 100 feet tall, while the area within a radius of 20 miles around the altar had become 1,000 feet tall.
This way, the densely packed warriors outside the ancient bronze city could see the entire scene of the altar. Although they could not enter the Gu Yuan Tribe, they could still personally witness the grandest ceremony in the history of the Desolate Border Region!
"Gu Yuan has been ordered by the Emperor to rule a region. The tribes of the Desolate Border Region have been conferred titles and promoted to be under Gu Yuan's command. Today is the beginning of the tribe's promotion. I would like to respectfully invite the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Tribe Stele to enter my Gu Yuan Tribe!"
As Xiao Chen's shout resounded through the sky, the world once again rumbled, resounding through the vault of heaven!
