Chapter 758: Chapter 744 Ancestral Court True Meaning, Bloodbath to Nurture Gu! (Subscription Request 3/8)_1

[Extra update!] Returning to the tribe, his two wives had already come to meet him. Seeing Xiao Chen’s expression, they looked a bit perplexed, and thus they spoke their minds.

As for his own wives, Xiao Chen would not hide anything. Husband and wife are equals, and Xiao Chen, as the leader of the tribe, held the reins of great power, with his two wives supporting him behind the scenes. So, he voiced out his worries to his two wives.

"My husband, our Gu Yuan Tribe has grown from a minor tribe to become a powerful force within the border wasteland, even considered on par with the ancient and legendary Bai Ze. Our strength might even dwarf that of Bai Ze. We’ve weathered numerous storms, been through countless crises!"

"Now, the entire East Desolate Land is under the shadow of foreign invasions. No tribe can escape this fate. Which tribe doesn’t face the risk of extinction? Even if the foreign tribes had not plotted against our Gu Yuan Tribe, the enmity between us would always demand blood and battle. Now that the foreign tribes have conspired against us, are you scared, my husband?"

His two wives were nestled next to Xiao Chen and whispered these words.

Scared, is he!

From an almost collapsing small tribe to a large tribe wielding great power over a million miles of land and carrying the aura of a legendary Marquis, they had faced a lot of crises, hadn’t they? And they had always been able to make it through. With the arrival of the foreign tribes, the war spear in their hands is as sharp as ever!

What is there to fear!

A million tribesmen, tens of thousands of war masters – with this strength, what is there to fear!

"It’s my nerves acting up!" Xiao Chen eventually let out a sigh, chuckled softly.

Once he understood this, his heart naturally found its calm again, void of worries. The Gu Yuan Tribe may have grown significantly, but its strength has magnified manifold, there was no need for fear of battle.

"My husband is just overly concerned about the safety of the tribe. The Gu Yuan Tribe is where it is today largely due to your efforts, my husband. It is because you fight off strong enemies while keeping the hearts of our people calm, which has allowed the Gu Yuan Tribe to progress to this point."

"My husband, our tribe has long shed its past fragility. The new generation of our tribe has begun to rise, and all you need to do is steer the tribe in the right direction. With you sitting in the tribe, the rest can be left to others in the tribe."

"Yes, my husband. When the tribe was weak, there were very few strong ones within the tribe, but now the tribe has been consolidated, the new generation is growing up. If you continue to protect them under your wings, how can they grow? How can they expand the tribe in the future?"

"Growing up requires paying a price, it requires being shaped by blood and pain!"

Xiao Chen stood in the courtyard with a perplexed look in his eyes, not saying a word. Mu Qing and Nianhua leaned against him, quietly waiting. These simple truths were easy to understand, but Xiao Chen was too concerned about the tribe’s welfare.

After a while, Xiao Chen’s originally subdued aura suddenly burst forth. This was his spirit asserting its authority, replacing his previous doubts, his eyes now emitting a sense of sharpness.

"My husband!"

"I’ve thought it through. Especially over the past three years, I, as the patriarch, have been overly concerned about the tribe, rarely letting our warriors fight bloody battles. Now, though our Gu Yuan Tribe’s strength has increased, we have lost the bloody nature that true warriors should possess."

"Thanks to both of my wives for reminding me. I misunderstood the intentions of the Ancestral Court, always seeking to protect the human homeland, even planning to migrate the several large tribes within a million miles to our Dragon Fall Territory for protection."

"What do you mean, my husband!" Upon hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Mu Qing and Nianhua looked puzzled. They didn’t understand why Xiao Chen was drawing a connection between his tribe and the Ancestral Court.

"I was wrong. Over the past two or three years, apart from issuing commands for us major tribes to guard the Human Realm, the Ancestral Court has not issued any other commands. We were left to fight for ourselves; very few warriors from the Ancestral Court have appeared to join our fight, nearly all the battles in the Great Wasteland were fought individually by different tribes."

Xiao Chen was right. Only the one million miles of land near the Gu Yuan Tribe remained peaceful, thanks to the tribe’s diligent efforts. Beyond that, the Ancestral Court seemed to have abandoned the tribes, letting them face their own destinies.

While the powerful foreign warriors were repelled by our strongest, there were still remnants of foreign warriors who made their way to the Human Realm through special means, joining up with their counterparts hidden deep within the Border Wasteland to wreak havoc on the numerous human war tribes. The weaker tribes had perished in countless numbers over these years.

This was inevitable. Even within the one million miles of the wilderness presided over by the Gu Yuan Tribe, there were numerous low-ranking war tribes and small groups. Their settlements were scattered and unorganized.

It was difficult to uncover the protectively nestled foreign warriors, even though the Gu Yuan Tribe, along with a few medium-tier battle divisions, frequently purged the Wilderness, it was still arduous to eradicate them completely.

Similarly, in the last two years, nearly a hundred low-tier battle divisions and dispersed tribes were destroyed across the one million-mile land patrolled by the Gu Yuan Tribe. This is just what was discovered. Some tribes located in the remote ancient mountains and forests were simply unforeseeable.

"Husband, what do you mean? What is the Ancestral Court doing?"

"The Ancestral Court is fostering a pest!" Xiao Chen’s eyes shone with a radiance!

"The Ancestral Court is fostering pests through the hands of foreign tribes, striving to train battle-hardened lions!"

"Although our Border Wasteland has been disrupted by foreign tribes and has always been unstable, the war that truly affected the entire Border Wilderness Domain has been absent for ten thousand years. Over such long years, the battle blood of the human race has grown tranquil deep within. Now the Ancestral Court wants to awaken it!"

"Even if a hundred people die in battle and only one battle-hardened veteran remains, as long as the battle blood awakens, it would be the greatest gain!"

Xiao Chen’s words made Mu Qing and Nianhua tremble at heart. Although they also wanted to train their Tribe’s Warriors, hearing Xiao Chen’s analysis of the Ancestral Court’s true intentions left them somewhat petrified.

In the whole Border Wasteland, there are billions of human tribes. The actions of the Ancestral Court seemed ready to sacrifice an unknown number of their brethren.

They are stirring up valour with fresh blood!

"Husband, are you going to issue another imperial command, instructing the divisions to get ready for war?" Mu Qing quietly asked.

"No need. The situation has already become irreversible. You have reminded me that the Ancestral Court’s methods might seem cruel but using the lives of billions of humans from the Border Wasteland as bets, it is actually the correct way. Now when the crisis is upon us, the invasion by the Hundred Clans of Heaven has become more obvious. We have already reached the point where we have to fight, and it’s about time for the battle blood of the Human Tribe to be ignited!"

"During the last gathering of the clan leaders of the great tribes in Gu Yuan, there were disagreements, and they were unwilling to migrate near our Gu Yuan Tribe. We can make use of this, in the future our War Masters of Gu Yuan Tribe will retreat and defend our Gu Yuan Tribe’s territory. Since each tribe prospers and reproduces on this land, naturally they need to do their duties in protecting their land and resisting the foreign tribes. Our Gu Yuan Tribe only needs to do its best to block those powerful foreigners. The foreign wandering War Masters roaming the Border Wasteland will be dealt with by the respective tribes!"

Both women understood that with the fall of Xiao Chen’s voice, countless human tribes in the land surrounding the Gu Yuan Tribe would be on guard, in constant fear, living under the endless harassment of foreign tribes, not knowing when they might be annihilated and their tribe be extinct!

"Alright, these matters can be communicated to the elders of the tribe to issue the imperial command. This time, I have obtained a Martial Arts Tower that ranks among the top nine. Nianhua, you will assimilate it into your body to make up for the incomplete Martial Arts Tower!"

A moment later, Xiao Chen changed the subject. A white jade tower appeared in his hand. The nine-floor tower, made from crystal clear white jade, emanated an odd, profound aura, as if it wanted to ascend to the heavens and compete with the world.

Nine-tier tower!

This nine-tier Martial Arts Tower surprised both Mu Qing and Nianhua. This was a treasure that could cause a sensation across the entire Border Wasteland. Nianhua was even more astounded. This nine-tier Martial Arts Tower, prepared by Xiao Chen for her, was simply a dream come true.

Xiao Chen and Mu Qing had both crafted a nine-tier Martial Arts Tower, a fact known to Nianhua. Although her aptitude was decent, she was still far from being a highly gifted person. She only created a seven-tier Martial Arts Tower. Even though it seemed like only a difference of two tiers, the gap was astronomical.

Those with nine-tier towers were eligible for the king’s promotion. Only a fully completed nine-tier Martial Arts Tower could offer an opportunity to explore the path of the king. If she could incorporate a third party’s nine-tier Martial Arts Tower now, although she couldn’t progress any further in the future, without fate, she could only stop at the Seventh Supreme state. Now she stood a chance of advancing, for what could she be dissatisfied?

"Sister, our husband has gotten you such a valuable item. You should quickly assimilate it, so as not to waste your husband’s good intentions!"

Compared to Nianhua’s astonishment, Mu Qing had already reacted, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity. A complete nine-tier Martial Arts Tower was saved.

There were only two explanations for this situation. Either a Legendary Supreme willingly left this behind at the time of his demise, or a supreme being killed him, leaving a nine-tier with absolutely no reaction. Either way, the preciousness of this nine-tier Martial Arts Tower was undeniable.

Having Nianhua assimilate the Martial Arts Tower eased a significant burden off Xiao Chen’s mind. Subsequently, Nianhua, who had just left seclusion after refining her Purple Snake Sword, went back into seclusion under Mu Qing’s supervision. This time, she was to assimilate a nine-tier Martial Arts Tower.

As for Xiao Chen, he immediately left the courtyard and headed for the Tribal Grand Hall. After figuring out the true intentions of the Ancestral Court, the Gu Yuan Tribe would also need to make some changes!
