In the hall, there were only warriors above the Fourth Heaven of the Building Realm in the Gu Yuan Tribe. In the entire tribe, the number of Building Realm warriors was several times that of the warriors in the hall.
This was all thanks to the barter land in the Ancient Land of Desolation, which allowed the Gu Yuan Tribe to obtain enough blood energy and various resources.
Moreover, the more the foreign races wreaked havoc, the more blood energy the Gu Yuan Tribe could obtain.
Of course, the Gu Yuan Tribe was not the only one that developed rapidly. Even in the entire Desolate Border Region, the level of martial arts had also increased in the past three years.
This was also attributed to the fact that Xiao Chen had secretly collected a large number of divine gold and divine materials and handed them to Liu Li to forge millions of Ancient Desolation Tokens. Xiao Chen then spread these Ancient Desolation Tokens across the regions.
Now, the Ancient Desolation Tokens were circulating in nearly a hundred human regions in the Eastern Wilderness and Southern Region. Xiao Chen had even entered the Hollowness World and distributed a portion of the Ancient Desolation Tokens.
The Human Race warriors who participated in the war with the foreign races killed more foreign races and obtained more flesh and blood of the foreign races, which naturally allowed the Gu Yuan Tribe to obtain more blood energy.
There were a large number of healing pills in the Ancient Land of Desolation, which were naturally needed by these warriors who were bathed in blood.
After obtaining benefits, there would naturally be danger. This kind of prying came from the powerhouses of the Human Race. Perhaps because they saw that the Ancient Land of Desolation was beneficial to the Human Race, they did not delve deeper into it.
After a few breaths, Xiao Chen's eyes flickered before he retracted his gaze and said, "Elders, the purpose of my clan meeting today is to see how much strength our Gu Yuan Tribe has accumulated in the past three years with the sufficient supply of resources and many conveniences!"
"Third Elder, our Gu Yuan Tribe has been accumulating strength for three years. How's the population?"
Then, Xiao Chen's gaze turned to Third Elder Xiao Qin. Now, Third Elder Xiao Qin was already at the Fourth Heaven of the Building Realm.
Of course, with the Third Elder's natural endowments, it was already extremely difficult for him to reach this step. Moreover, Xiao Chen had personally taken action and consumed resources that were several times that of a martial artist of the same cultivation realm in order to advance!
The current Third Elder looked slightly younger than before. When he heard Xiao Chen's order, he immediately stood up and bowed slightly to Xiao Chen. He then took out an animal skin scroll from his bosom.
"Reporting to Patriarch, the population of our Gu Yuan Tribe has recovered to more than 5,513,900 people. Over the past three years, there have been more than 118,000 children born."
"Right now, there are more than 2.3 million adult males and young warriors in the tribe."
"Among all the people in the tribe, there are 1,373 Heavy Building Realm martial artists. Among them, there are nearly 397 martial artists above the fourth heaven of the Heavy Building Realm."
Currently, there were only 353 martial artists above the fourth heaven of the Heavy Building Realm in the main hall. Obviously, there were still a portion of the fourth heaven warriors who were not in the tribe.
"As for the Blood Refinement Realm martial artists, there are countless of them." Finally, the Third Elder's voice fell. He did not bother to count the Blood Refinement Realm martial artists in the tribe.
With sufficient resources, the Gu Yuan Tribe's martial artists could still advance to the Blood Refinement Realm even if their natural endowments were not good.
Of course, this method of accumulating resources was only suitable for martial artists with ordinary natural endowments in the tribe. Some talented martial artists were strictly prohibited from using this method.
Even if there were sufficient resources, they still needed to take it step by step, work steadily, and hone their cultivation realm so that they could go further on the path of martial arts.
After reporting the situation of the tribe's martial artists to Xiao Chen, the Third Elder did not speak again and returned to his seat.
As for the Gu Yuan Tribe's sixth-level Heavenly Supremacies, they were ranked as the Grand Elder and needed Xiao Chen to personally issue an elder's order.
The Supremacies and above were the tribe's main combat strength, so they naturally would not be completely revealed to the outside world!
In fact, the number of tribesmen that the Third Elder mentioned was only the number of martial artists that the Gu Yuan Tribe had on the surface, which was also the number of tribesmen in the Gu Yuan Tribe's headquarters.
Three years ago, not long after the Gu Yuan Tribe had become a Legendary Marquis division, Xiao Chen had secretly ordered the formation of a secret force that belonged to the Gu Yuan Tribe. Of course, this arrangement had been learned by Xiao Chen when he had followed the Sky Talisman Monarch into the mystic realm of war!
The Ancient Yuan Tribe had taken in displaced children or young warriors from the Human World and secretly nurtured them. Not only in the Desolate Border Region, but in the past three years, the Ancient Yuan Tribe's Void Battleships had also spread to nearly ten surrounding regions.
In fact, because the Gu Yuan Tribe was in charge of the Desolate Border Region, and the Gu Yuan Tribe had paid a great price to enfeoff the various tribes, build cities to guard the land, and open up roads, the Gu Yuan Tribe had the least number of displaced people among the nearby ten or so human regions.
This would have been unimaginable in the past.
It could be said that the Gu Yuan Tribe had propped up the entire Desolate Border Region's backbone!
After these youths and martial artists were secretly brought back to the Gu Yuan Tribe, they were placed in the mystic realm of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers. They had sufficient resources and the martial arts techniques that were most suitable for killing. All their cultivation was for the sake of unleashing their strongest combat strength.
Fortunately, there was the bartering ground in the Ancient Desolate World, which had accumulated enough resources to support such a huge business.
This was also why Xiao Chen had taken the risk to enter the Dongxu Battlefield and spread the Ancient Desolate Order to the human warriors who had participated in the bloody battle. Only there would there be enough foreign tribe blood and bones.
Of course, these children, youths, and young martialists who had been brought back to the tribe had all sworn to be loyal to the Gu Yuan Tribe. Moreover, in the mystic realm of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, as the ruler, Liu Li had also subtly influenced their minds and even branded their minds with Spiritual Restrictions.
Of course, Xiao Chen had also promised that if they could make enough contributions in the future, he would make an exception and accept them into the Gu Yuan Tribe, becoming true members of the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Currently, the entire Gu Yuan Tribe had a total of 37 Venerables at the sixth level of the Heavenly Tower Realm. Most of them were newly advanced martialists.
For example, the Hall Masters of the Gu Yuan Tribe, Ding Shan of the Combat Master Hall, Xiao Wangliang, and Mu Wuya.
After refining an eighth level Heavenly Tower of the Martial Path, Lin Shan, the original master of the Martial Path, and the original master of the Martial Path had also improved by leaps and bounds.
Tie Wen of the Martial Arts Hall, Huang Liang of the Dark Guards Hall, Xiao Lin of the Divine Weapon Hall, the Hall Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, Lin Yue, and the five Qiu brothers, these martialists who had fought alongside Xiao Chen, had all advanced to the seventh level of the Heavenly Tower Realm.
Shi Ya, Xue Sha, and Green Thorn Tree were all experts at the eighth level of the Heavenly Tower Realm.
Shi Ya had innately forged an eighth level Heavenly Tower of the Martial Path, while Xue Sha was at the seventh level. After consuming the Seven-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit, the Heavenly Tower Realm had made up for one level. However, now that he had reached the eighth level, he had reached the end of his martial path.
As for Green Thorn Tree, who had served Mu Qing as his master, he was a descendant of a king. Although it was unknown how many generations had passed, his bloodline had also slightly reverted to its ancestral roots. However, it was many times worse than Mu Qing's. Even so, when he advanced to the Heavenly Tower Realm, he innately forged an eighth level Heavenly Tower of the Martial Path.
Now, Green Thorn Tree was already an expert at the peak of the eighth level, and after consuming eight Seven-Colored Sky-Mending Fruits, he had finally reached the ninth level of the Martial Path.
Perhaps after a period of time, the Gu Yuan Tribe would have a ninth level Legendary Realm expert.
Such a rapid increase in the tribe's strength was unimaginable even in the entire Desolate Border Land. However, the Gu Yuan Tribe had the conditions to rapidly increase its strength.
Three years had passed in the Desolate Wasteland outside, but a hundred years had passed in the alternate space-time of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, or even longer. With sufficient time and resources, everything naturally fell into place!
After the Third Elder sat down, Xiao Chen's gaze swept across the many elders in the hall again, and finally landed on Ding Shan.
Seeing Xiao Chen's signal, Ding Shan quickly stood up. Ever since he had followed Xiao Chen to attack the Black Mountain Tribe, he had advanced from the Bone Tempering Realm to the current Venerable Realm. Ding Shan had been in charge of the Gu Yuan Tribe's Combat Masters.
"Reporting to Patriarch." The current Ding Shan was filled with an invisible and intense murderous aura.
"Currently, our Gu Yuan Tribe's Combat Master Hall has a total of five hundred thousand soldiers, and all of them are at the Blood Refining Realm!"
Compared to three years ago, the number of soldiers in the Gu Yuan Tribe had not increased by much, but the quality had increased. Compared to expanding the number of soldiers on a large scale, Xiao Chen was more inclined to hide the soldiers among the people!
