The Great Wild God - Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Guixi Canal Commander
The Su Clan’s Su Wu Lieutenant Manor chose the tribal clan disciples, and they happened to arrive at the Montenegro Tribe today. Wu Gong Zong Tu, Gu Hu, and the others naturally rushed to the valley entrance to welcome these distinguished guests.

“What a powerful aura!” Gu Jianfeng and Chen Xun walked together. Seeing that the flag-wielding warrior looked ordinary, his armor was wrapped in black robes, but the horse-reining flag was at the entrance of the valley, giving off an unshakable feeling of rooting. Gu Jianfeng couldn’t help but sigh in his heart when he saw it.

Chen Xun and Su Tang had been together for more than a month, and they had some understanding of Cang Lan’s martial cultivation system. Looking at the flag-carrying warrior sitting on the tall scaled horse, his eyes were bright and divine. He had just advanced to the seventh level of the True Yang Realm, which was comparable to the seventh level of the Barbarian Martial Transformation.

However, his momentum and the scaled horses that had stepped down were merged into one. He was like a mountain, and his aura of killing intent was no weaker than that of Gu Hu, who was at the peak of the ninth level of the Barbarian Martial Arts. He felt that the lineage of the aristocratic clans was truly incomparable to that of the Wilderness Tribes.

Chen Xun was also undergoing months of bitter cultivation in the Lake Wasteland, and his understanding of Barbarian Martial Cultivation was much deeper.

Realm was an insurmountable chasm. The ninth level of the Barbarian realm was comparable to the True Yang realm. They were both Foundation Establishment stage. From the True Yang realm up, they were at the Reincarnation realm. From the Reincarnation realm up, they were at the Heaven Origin realm and the Origin Core realm.

A difference of one realm could be filled with countless human lives. Dozens of high-ranked brutal martial artists might not necessarily be able to fight to the death an expert who had just advanced to the Reincarnation Realm; If there was a difference of two realms, then there would be a difference in the night soil. The weak were like ants, and there was no room for struggle.

Within the same realm, different cultivation levels and boundaries were no longer so clear. Cultivating profound arts, magic treasures, profound weapons, precious armor, comprehension of profound arts, and rich combat experience greatly affected one’s overall strength.

Ordinary Barbarian Martial Cultivation, especially after enlightenment of the Barbarian Soul, from flesh, bones, tendons, to blood transfusion and marrow transformation, most of them were purely refined by absorbing the divine essence of Qi and Blood. It was difficult to break through to a higher cultivation realm at the peak of the ninth layer. In reality, every level of refinement was far from reaching its limit.

Even if they entered the Azure Water School, their chances of breaking through to the peak of the ninth level of the Barbarian Martial Arts, advancing to the Reincarnation Realm, and becoming a Heavenly Barbarian were extremely small. However, if they were unable to enter the Azure Water School to cultivate, there was a huge difference.

Ge Yi, a ninth level True Yang Realm Azure Water Warrior, cultivated hard in profound arts and secret arts. His physical body was far more powerful than an ordinary ninth level Barbarian Martial Arts. He could even use low-level techniques. Moreover, he wore a temporarily powerful Profound Armament Treasure Armor. He even possessed strength comparable to a high-level Barbarian Martial Arts. It was hard to imagine how powerful his overall combat strength was.

This was also the fatal temptation for the Wildlands tribes to send their disciples to the Azure Water College. Not to mention, after cultivating for ten years, he could bring back the profound arts he had learned to the tribal clan and inherit them.

Chen Xun, Gu Jianfeng, Zong Tu, Gu Hu, and the others rushed to the entrance of the valley, but they saw the long camel horses slowly walking along the east bank of Wild Horse Stream. There were actually five to six hundred people following the camel horses.

Apart from the 20-odd black-robed armored knights protecting the left wing of the caravan and slowly riding their horses, the majority of the 500 to 600 people following the camel horses were carrying armor and looking at their extraordinary combat strength.

“Why are there so many people?” Chen Xun and Gu Jianfeng exchanged glances and saw the doubt in each other’s eyes at the same time.

Chen Xun thought to himself, besides the Su Clan’s Su Clan’s Su Wu Wei Fu who had chosen the tribal clan’s disciples, the first caravan that had left Azure Water City after spring had probably also entered the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge.

At the front of the convoy, Ge Yi was also wearing a black robe that blocked the wind and snow. He rode his horse and followed behind a huge bronze carriage. He was talking to the people in the carriage through the window.

Chen Xun followed Grandpa Zongtu, Gu Hu, and the others and saw the handsome man sitting in the bronze carriage. He wore a fox fur that was snow white and spotless. He couldn’t tell how old he was, but he gave off a feeling of being extraordinary.

As that person spoke to Ge Yi, he inadvertently looked over. Chen Xun immediately felt a chill pierce through him, giving off a feeling of lonely cliffs and cold mountains that were unattainable.

Even though he was so far away, the man’s cold aura was like a sharp unsheathed blade. In contrast, Ge Yi looked gloomy.

Regardless of how far he went, Ge Yi was definitely a peak True Yang Realm ninth layer expert. After experiencing battles on the battlefield, the murderous aura emanating from his body made those who were slightly timid not dare to stand in front of him.

However, Ge Yi made this man’s aura look extremely gloomy. Even though this man’s cultivation was inferior to Su Tang and Su Qingfeng, he was definitely an expert at the Reincarnation Realm.

Chen Xun still remembered that a few months ago, when Su Qingfeng, the deputy commandant of Su Wu, had left the black python, he had said that Ge Yi would personally come to pick people after spring. He thought to himself that this man might be the leader of the caravan.

Chen Xun didn’t want the people of the Canglan Su Clan to see that his cultivation had greatly improved compared to half a year ago. He withdrew his aura and hid behind Grandpa. However, when he saw the man sitting in the bronze carriage, his vision instantly descended on Grandpa. Grandpa was like a poisonous snake staring at him, and his back suddenly straightened like a bowstring.

Seeing the man smiling in this direction, he retracted his head back into the bronze carriage. Chen Xun saw that Grandpa’s wrinkled old face, which was still loose just now, was so tense that it turned green. He asked in a low voice, “Who is that person?”

“He is Gui Xi Qu Shuai Lou Li.” Wu Gong Zong Tu didn’t expect to see Xi Lou Li here again, and a chill seeped out of his heart.

Qu Shuai was the title of the Barbarian Martial Leader, and the Black Python was only a thousand-odd clansmen, so naturally, there was no Qu Shuai.

Thirty years ago, the Black Python still had nearly 20,000 clansmen, According to the fertile land on the upper reaches of the White Wolf River at the southern foot of the Python Ya Mountain, after the last generation of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect’s Guardian Sun fell, the black python quickly declined, shattered, and split apart under the attack of Gui Xi. Large numbers of its clansmen fled to the north and west of the wastelands. Only Zong Tu and the others led their small tribes to the northern mountain of the Pya Mountain to survive.

The Su Clan was so long ago that no one wanted to talk about the Black Python’s blood feud, but the Black Python clansmen’s blood and tears that had fallen because of Gui Xi hadn’t cooled down yet.

However, seeing Gui Xi Qu Shuai Lou Li sitting in the bronze carriage, Chen Xun was puzzled.

Gui Xi occupied the fertile soil at the southeastern foot of Python Teeth Ridge. Although he was controlled by the Su Clan, what did the caravan from Azure Water City have to do with Gui Xi? Why did it look like Lou Li was the leader of the caravan? Even Ge Yi had to listen to his orders?

********************

Ge Yi and his group escorted the caravan from Canglan to the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge. It took them more than a month to arrive, and the journey was extremely arduous.

The Black Mountain Tribe was their first stop at the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge. Seeing that Wu Gong Zong Tu, Chen Xun, and the others of the Black Mountain Tribe had actually come with Gu Hu of the Black Mountain Tribe to greet them at the valley entrance, Ge Yi was also quite surprised. He dismounted from his horse and walked over, asking,

“Duke Wu already knew that we were going to the Montenegro Tribe today?”

Ge Yi escorted the caravan through the low mountain region at the eastern foot of Python Fang Ridge. He left the Wa Ji Tribe in the south and didn’t encounter any barbarians along the way. Seeing the Dark Python Tribe’s Shaman Sect Diagram waiting at the entrance of the valley, he was shocked and suspicious. Could it be that someone had run into their convoy and escaped the scouts of their scouts?

This was a fatal mistake for Lieutenant Su Wu’s sharp soldiers.

Seeing Ge Yi’s puzzled eyes, Wu Gong Zong Tu narrowed his triangular eyes and explained,

“What a coincidence today. The black python and Montenegro have been fighting for a small matter for many years. Now, the two clans have decided to put aside their past grudges and reconcile. I came to Montenegro today to apologize to Montenegro for all the offenses that the black python committed before. I don’t want to happen to meet General Ge and Lou Li.”

Ge Dissent looked at Gu Hu and was even more shocked. He thought that this bitter winter, in the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge, there might have been some stories that were unknown to outsiders.

As for the enmity between the Black Python and Guixi, Ge Yi didn’t know. He had a good impression of Chen Xun and smiled faintly at him. He asked, “Ah Xun, have you decided to go to Canglan with us this time?”

“Ah Xun still needs General Ge to take care of him in the future.” Chen Xun said flatteringly. Apart from the black-robed Azure Water Warrior following Ge Yi and stopping at the valley entrance, the camels and horses of the caravan and the gigantic bronze carriage of Guixi Canal Master Lou Li continued to walk along the eastern bank of Wild Horse Stream without any intention of stopping.

Chen Xun was puzzled. Could it be that the first stop of the caravan after entering the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge was not Black Mountain Tribe?

However, if they continued northward from here, they would be able to reach the Lake Wilderness in another thirty to fifty kilometers.

After spring, the snow and ice in the Lake Wilderness melted, making the journey difficult. The Lake Wilderness was sparsely populated, and the tribes weren’t as dense as the north mountain of Python Fang Ridge. There were more poisonous insects, snakes, flood dragons, and dense forest desolate beasts, unless the caravan wanted to walk two to three thousand kilometers away from Xi Ridge …

At first glance, Ge Yi didn’t think that Chen Xun had changed much from a few months ago. However, when he looked at the camels and horses that continued to head north, he felt that Chen Xun’s intentionally restrained aura was faintly sharp. His pair of eyes had actually reached the Divine Light Realm as well. He asked with a shocked expression,

“I haven’t seen you for months. Your cultivation is improving so fast!”

“In winter, chasing a wild deer, accidentally into the north of the lake wasteland, almost trapped in a lonely mountain. Fortunately, he found a Stone Snake Lotus and swallowed it to his death. He managed to survive the difficulties by luck, and then he discovered that he had advanced to the seventh level of Blood Transformation … “Chen Xun and Su Tang had only told Grandpa Zongtu, Zong Sang, and Nan Liao about their cultivation advancement in the Wilderness, so they naturally had to make up other stories to deal with others.

As a fourth-grade spirit medicine, the Stone Snake Lotus was able to withstand such a strong medicinal boiling current, allowing his cultivation to soar by two to three levels. If someone helped him refine it, he might be able to stand at the peak of the ninth level of the Barbarian Layer.

The first time they met, Chen Xun was only at the fifth level of the Barbarian realm. He dared to go deep into the depths of Python Fang Mountain and fight against the Azure Eyed Condor. He even killed and maimed the Barbarian realm of the Black Mountain Tribe in the dense forest, leaving a deep impression on Ge Yi.

Ge Yi also believed Chen Xun’s explanation. There had never been a lack of spiritual herbs in the depths of the Wilderness, and there had never been a lack of opportunities. The key was whether or not he had the life to take them.

Chen Xun said that he had lost his father in the depths of Python Fang Ridge four years ago, so he should have a certain family background. Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary Wildlands tribes to recognize precious medicines like the Stone Snake Lotus.

Ge Yi also felt a pity. Chen Xun’s cultivation was far from being able to completely refine a precious medicine like the Stone Snake Lotus. He had endured the boiling medicinal power and didn’t directly explode to death. He was already very lucky. If he could harvest this Stone Snake Lotus, he might be able to directly break through to the peak of the True Yang Realm’s ninth layer and advance to the Reincarnation Realm with the impact of the boiling medicinal power.

Gu Hu had long since confirmed that Chen Xun had advanced into a high-grade Barbarian Martial Arts, but he didn’t know what kind of fortune Chen Xun had obtained. However, hearing Chen Xun say the words “Stone Snake Lotus”, Ge Yi, who was used to seeing miraculous medicines in Commandant Su Wu’s mansion, couldn’t help but be moved, and he could guess how precious the “Stone Snake Lotus” was.

Seeing the caravan continuing northward, the Voodoo Duke Sect Diagram also revealed some worry and asked Ge Yi, “General Ge, are these caravans from Azure Water City?”

“That’s right. After General Su returns to Canglan City, everyone knows that the trade route to the Northern Mountain has opened. Ghost Faction is the most enthusiastic and has been preparing with the other trade stalls in Canglan City since a long time ago. Coincidentally, Commander Lou Li Qu will return to Python Teeth Ridge from Canglan City after spring and form a team with us” Ge Yi said.

Let alone Grandpa Zongtu, Chen Xun did not believe Ge Yi’s words.

Apart from the black-robed knights of Commandant Su Wu’s mansion, nearly two hundred camels and horses were planted with complicated flags. It could be seen that they were different stores and merchant stores in Azure Water City, forming a caravan to the North Mountain.

Ghost Faction was one of the super tribes that belonged to Su. There was also a merchant inn in Azure Water City. This time, there might be people pushing large quantities of goods to join the caravan, but there was no need for Ghost Faction’s Qu Shuailou Li to personally escort them to the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge.

One could tell that Lou Li was actually the leader of this caravan.
