The Holy Wave Tribe was a tribe formed by the Grand Duke of the Holy Wave after he betrayed the human race. They retained some of the inherent thoughts of the human race.
For example, social class.
In fact, the Fenghai County was still fine. It was the same for the other counties. Because they were enclaves, the sense of social class was not so clear and strong. However, this was not the case in the imperial capital.
As the Holy Wave Tribe was considered complete and interconnected, the sense of social class was equally strong. It was deeply ingrained in the cognition of every tribe member.
The people of the Holy Wave Tribe were divided into six levels. The top two were called noble sons, the middle two were soldiers, and the bottom two were slaves.
For example, the king of the Heaven Top Nation was the fourth, and so was his son.
In the Holy Wave Tribe, one's status was extremely important. Unless one's cultivation had reached a heaven-defying level, it was difficult to change it. After all, the bloodline of the top two was more outstanding and had more resources. The possibility of an expert appearing was naturally higher.
In the Holy Wave Tribe, having the right to raise one's status was equivalent to controlling the core of the Holy Wave Tribe. Only the Black Sky Temple had this right.
In every dynasty, there was a Black Sky Temple.
The Black Sky Statue was bestowed by the temple.
This kind of raising one's status was a blessing from the Black Sky Temple.
The blessed person's aura would be closer to the Black Sky Clan.
Therefore, for countless years, under the subtle influence of the Black Sky Clan, the people of the Holy Wave Tribe were extremely eager to raise their status.
This was also the reason why the king of the Heaven Top Nation was so emotional at this moment.
Even though he had many doubts before, when he saw his son being blessed with his own eyes, his mind was shaken.
The change in aura was extremely real. He knew that not every Black Sky Clan member could bless others.
To be able to do this, one had to be either an expert from the Black Sky Clan or a cultivator from the Temple.
The Holy Wave Tribe knew that there was a god in the Black Sky Clan. The other tribes also knew this. Although most of them were unwilling to admit it, it was the truth.
The god of the Black Sky Clan slept on the red moon and was worshipped for generations.
Because of the god's protection, there were god servants in the Black Sky Clan and the temple. They were the rulers of the Black Sky Clan and also the highest level of the Black Sky Clan.
As these thoughts rose in the heart of the Heaven Top Nation's king, he took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.
After he left, he immediately gave the order to collect the Profound Sky Demon Moon Pills. At the same time, he contacted the other city-states to redistribute the True Immortal Ten Intestines Fruits.
However, the process was not smooth.
The other thirty-five city-states did not believe in this matter as much as he did. After all, this matter was too inconceivable to them. One had to know that for countless years, many fake Black Sky Clans had come here, but none of them were real.
In view of this, the king of the Heaven Top Nation did not immediately report this matter to the dynasty. He was prepared to wait for the other city-states to confirm this before reporting it.
After all … even if he was 99% sure, if there really was a problem, it would be fine if he didn't report it, but if he did report it, he would be implicated and be blamed for his negligence.
Just like that, time passed slowly. Soon, seven days had passed.
Although there were still two days before a large number of True Immortal Dao Fruits ripened, in fact, in the past few days in the periphery of the True Immortal Ten Intestines Forest, there were already scattered Dao Fruits that could be picked.
At the same time, the foreign clans that had infiltrated through various methods were also taking action one after another. Some succeeded, while others failed. Every day, the patrol team formed by the thirty-six city-states would catch many foreign clans.
Their fates were different. Some were executed and hung on the Ten Intestines Canopy in the sky as a warning, while others were either punished and chased away or imprisoned for various reasons.
Even so, because the Dao Fruits were not cheap, there were still many cultivators who sneaked in.
As for the captain, after noticing that some of the Dao Fruits had ripened, he could not suppress the desire in his heart. After discussing with Xu Qing, he decided to take action.
Xu Qing also thought the same.
These days, they had been living in the palace. It seemed safe, but in reality, it was extremely dangerous.
Although he was confident in his identity, he was still worried about whether he could really hide it from experts.
After all, nothing was absolute.
In particular, the Void Concealment Talisman on his body was dissipating at all times.
Therefore, time was very important.
Therefore, on the morning of the eighth day, Xu Qing and the captain left the palace. Under the personal lead of Prince Mu Ye, they followed a group of guards to the periphery of the Ten Intestines Canopy.
Outside the forest, Mu Ye's eyes were filled with reverence as he said respectfully, "My Lord, this is the Ten Intestines Canopy of the Ten Intestines Canopy of the Sacred Billow Tribe. The fruits in the depths have not ripened yet, so we cannot enter at this moment."
"The interior of the Ten Intestines Canopy of the True Immortal is filled with a terrifying pressure all year round. It is difficult to enter. Only on the day when the fruits completely ripen will the pressure dissipate.
"
During this period, Mu Ye would kneel in front of Xu Qing's palace almost every day, ready to be summoned at any time.
It could be said that he was now the most loyal person to Xu Qing in the entire Heaven's Top Nation.
On one hand, Xu Qing had promoted him. On the other hand, it was also because the source of the foreign substance that had fused into his body was Xu Qing. Therefore, it was not wrong for him to address him as "My Lord."
Xu Qing sensed the familiar foreign substance in his body and nodded slightly. Then, he looked at the pitch-black forest in front of him that had no end in sight. Then, he looked up at the ten trees in the distance.
They meandered into the sky and formed a huge canopy of the main trees.
Until now, he still could not imagine that these were formed from the intestines of the Calamity Immortals who had become immortals.
"My Lord, in the next few days, do not sense this place at night. In the past, during the period when the Ten Intestines Canopy of the True Immortal was formed, a special aura would be formed here."
"
"After sensing it, you will be invaded by it and it will be harmful to you."
"
Hearing Mu Ye's words, the captain who was walking in front asked curiously.
"Harmful? How is it harmful?
"
"My Lord, it will cause hallucinations. There are records that say that someone once saw the scene of the Calamity Immortals becoming immortals. Then, he went crazy and opened his stomach to imitate it.
"
Mu Ye said respectfully.
The captain's eyes lit up. He was clearly interested. At this moment, he approached a tree, raised his hand, and plucked a fruit that looked like an eye from the tree and put it into his storage bag.
This place was the periphery of the Ten Intestines Canopy of the True Immortal. There were many eye-shaped fruits hanging on the trees. Some were open, and some were closed.
"Fruits that have opened their eyes mean that they can be plucked."
Mu Ye explained at the side.
Looking at the captain plucking continuously, Xu Qing put his hands behind his back and spoke calmly.
"How many Dao Fruits are there in total here?"
"
"My Lord, the total number of Dao Fruits that appear once every hundred years is about 300,000."
Mu Ye hurriedly replied.
Hearing this, Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat. After calculating, his thoughts became more and more active. After all, one fruit was worth 10,000 military merit points. Beside him, Qing Qiu's heart was also pounding. She naturally knew the value of this fruit.
"Mu Ye, have your people go and pluck them for me."
Xu Qing suddenly said.
Mu Ye immediately nodded and called for his subordinates to head towards the fruits that had opened their eyes.
Not only did they have many people, but they were also very skilled and quickly plucked ten or so fruits.
Seeing this, Xu Qing's heart almost uncontrollably sped up.
This was more than 100,000 military merit points!
Seeing the desire in Qing Qiu's eyes, Xu Qing suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmly said.
"You go and pluck them as well."
"
Qing Qiu immediately rushed towards the fruits.
Xu Qing had unsealed her cultivation a few days ago, but he was worried that it would ruin things, so he had not given her a storage bag and had instead given her an empty one.
Looking at Qing Qiu's back, a trace of a smile appeared on Xu Qing's face, but he quickly put it away and looked at the captain.
At this moment, the captain's eyes were uncontrollably shining, and he moved extremely quickly as he grabbed one Dao Fruit after another. He muttered something that no one else could hear as he quickly plucked them.
Xu Qing glanced over and guessed that the captain was counting his military merit points.
"Eldest Senior Apprentice Brother's mental fortitude is not enough. What's there to count?"
Xu Qing inwardly shook his head with his hands behind his back.
Not long after, Mu Ye respectfully handed over the 25 Dao Fruits that he had picked. Xu Qing put them in his storage bag and muttered to himself.
"250,000 military merit points!
"
Following this, he looked at Mu Ye and the cultivators from the Holy Wave Tribe and silently calculated.
"Twenty-six, twenty-eight, thirty-one …"
As for whether or not the captain's actions would be exposed, Xu Qing did not care so much. After counting for an hour, there were no more ripe fruits in this region.
After plucking about 100 fruits, he was about to go to other regions when a commotion came from the forest in the distance.
Mu Ye immediately became vigilant and immediately came in front of Xu Qing as if he was protecting him. He ordered the Holy Wave Tribe guards around to check on the situation. Not long after, someone returned.
"My Lord, it was the Cloud Consort Nation's patrol team who caught a few outsiders. Among them was a descendant of the Calamity Tribe who was not easy to catch. They only managed to capture him after they surrounded him.
"
"Descendant of the Calamity Tribe?"
Xu Qing remembered that the captain and the others had said that True Immortal Ten Intestines was the last member of the Calamity Tribe who became an immortal.
"My Lord, the pure-blooded Calamity Tribe no longer exists. However, there are many mixed-blooded descendants in the Holy Wave City. It's not easy for us to kill such cultivators. Most of them are imprisoned until the fruits are ripe and released.
"
Just as Mu Ye was explaining, footsteps came from afar, and a low roar echoed.
"What right do you have to capture me? I'm a descendant of the Calamity Tribe. This is the place where my patriarch became an immortal!
"
"I'm here to take a few of the patriarch's Dao Fruits. What reason do you have to stop me? I'm not taking much. I only want 30!
"
"If you dare to touch me here, I'll die in front of you. Let my blood spill on the patriarch. When he wakes up, he'll definitely be furious!
"
When the voice sounded, the captain's eyes widened. Xu Qing's eyes also flashed.
Soon, a group of Holy Wave Tribe cultivators who were not from the Heaven's Top Nation escorted seven or eight cultivators who had sneaked into this place. They passed by Xu Qing and the others.
When they saw Xu Qing and the captain, the Holy Wave Tribe cultivators' expressions changed. They had also heard about the two of them and hurriedly greeted them.
Among the seven or eight cultivators they were escorting, there was a young man who exuded a unique aura. Especially at the spot between his eyebrows, there was a totem that twisted like a snake's intestines.
At that moment, he was shouting loudly with a face full of indignation. When his gaze swept past Xu Qing and the others, he recognized the Black Sky Tribe and was stunned.
However, in the next instant, when he saw Qing Qiu beside him, his body trembled slightly. However, he quickly returned to normal and continued to curse. However, his footsteps quickened.
Qing Qiu retracted his gaze. His expression did not change at all, as if he did not know him.
The captain snorted in his heart and narrowed his eyes.
Xu Qing looked over and muttered in his heart.
"Ning Yan, he actually came here?"
"
