Chapter 768: Creating the Yin and Yang Ring, the Flame Bulwark Tribe, up to the Same Old Tricks Again

News of Chu Kuangren killing a god spread like wildfire.

Cang’s name soon spread across most of Firmament Star. Besides the gods who saw him as an enemy, some humans paid close attention to him too.

“Oh my, this guy really is brave to kill a god. However, the gods will not let a human like him go that easily.”

“Let’s see what happens.”

“Perhaps we can recruit him into the Antigod Pavillion.”

The gods may be the rulers of the Firmament Star who made the world seem like a peaceful place, but there were still other forces that lurked within the shadows.

News of Chu Kuangren killing a god was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, setting off ripples that would change the fate of the world forever.

…

“Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Legendary-grade item, Weaponsmith’s Inheritance.”

Chu Kuangren was delighted when he heard the Fantasy Roulette’s voice inside him. “A Weaponsmith’s Inheritance, huh? Not bad.”

Besides qi refining techniques, the other accompanying cultivation techniques were still in the beginning stages in the current Firmament Star.

His newly gained skills as a weaponsmith would create unparalleled advancement in this field, and it would greatly help with his plans, too.

Looking at Greenie carrying a pile of stuff next to him, Chu Kuangren felt that the most important thing now would be to forge a Yin and Yang ring using his newfound knowledge.

“Wait for me here, Greenie.”

Chu Kuangren’s figure then disappeared from the spot.

After a while, he returned with a few ores in his hand.

“What do you plan to do with these rocks, Young Master?”

“Hehe, these rocks will be of great use to us, Greenie.”

Chu Kuangren grinned. Those ores he got were Voidstash ores. They were the main materials used to forge a Yin and Yang ring.

These ores were commonly found scattered everywhere. Hence, they were not that rare.

However, because the art of weaponsmithing has not been discovered and popularized yet, many did not see the value of this ore.

With a flicker of his mind, a bundle of flame appeared on the palm of Chu Kuangren’s hand.

It was a flame that was produced using his mind power.

Although it paled in comparison to the Phoenix’s Flame, Chu Kuangren’s mind power-created flame was at such high temperature that it could rival most of the uncommon flames in the Firmament Star.

The Voidstash Ore gradually melted in the palm of his hand.

Gradually, it took the form of a ring.

Chu Kuangren channeled his mind power into it, unraveling its spatial properties.

A Yin and Yang ring was soon created.

“Here, take this and toss everything inside it,” said Chu Kuangren as he taught Greenie how to use the Yin and Yang ring.

Greenie took the ring but still felt doubtful in spite of himself.

‘It’s such a small ring. Is it really that powerful?’

He then held the ring to his heart and channeled his spiritual power into it. As a ray of light flashed past him, the piles of luggage in front of him disappeared.

“H-H-How…”

Greenie was stunned with his mouth wide open and was greatly shocked for a while.

Chu Kuangren then used his mind power to knock Greenie’s head.

“Stop messing around.”

“This is amazing!” Greenie exclaimed while holding the Yin and Yang ring. His eyes were bright as if he had found a precious treasure.

“All this fuss over a simple ring.”

Chu Kuangren shook his head and chuckled.

With Greenie’s current cultivation level, he could have as many Yin and Yang rings as he wished in Chu Kuangren’s time. However, in this era, the value of this unique Yin and Yang ring would probably be on par with a Daoist Weapon.

“If I want the human race to thrive, it looks like I’ll have to start a technological revolution. Alchemy, weaponsmithing, runes, formations… I might as well pass on everything I know to the next generation.” Chu Kuangren mumbled.

He had already thought it through.

Since he was here in this era, he might as well contribute to something.

“Hey, Greenie. Say, what do you think about me becoming the king of the human race?”

Chu Kuangren suddenly said.

Still fiddling with the Yin and Yang ring, Greenie could not help being stunned upon hearing that. “Young Master, are you serious?”

Although the human race seemed weak at this time, he knew that a few powerful beings were hiding among them.

Becoming the king of the entire human race?

Even the gods could not achieve something like this.

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

“If you want to be king, Young Master, then I shall be your guard. I will clear all the obstacles that come your way!” Greenie said seriously.

“With your current strength, that might not be enough.”

“I’ll work hard to become stronger.”

“And I believe you.”

With that, Chu Kuangren and Greenie continued their journey.

As for their destination, they were unclear as to where to go for the time being.

Chu Kuangren had a vague plan in his heart. However, he still needed somewhere to secure his foundations so that he could implement them.

…

Inside a forest.

Chu Kuangren and Greenie were leaning against a tree.

Chu Kuangren was holding a grey-colored fruit in his hand. That was the Soul Fruit, and it was the seventy-fourth Soul Fruit he had consumed.

Under the effects of dozens of Soul Fruits, his soul energy was now much stronger than before. Based on his soul energy alone, only a handful of Minor Daoist Celestials could be a match against him.

The amount of mind power he had also increased due to this.

“Young Master, ahead of us lies the Flame Bulwark Tribe.”

“The Flame Bulwark Tribe, huh? I remember them. They’re one of the ten great human tribes. I bet there must be many cultivators among them,” Chu Kuangren said.

“That’s right.”

In this era, there were only a few human tribes on Firmament Star, and only ten tribes stood the strongest. Among them, some tribes worshipped the gods devoutly like the Divine Mind Tribe, with most of the tribe members being followers of the gods.

However, some tribes had also discovered the true potential of power through cultivation and put an end to their blind worship of the gods.

The Flame Bulwark Tribe was one of those tribes.

“Let’s go for a visit then. If this place suits us, I think we might stay here for the time being.”

Chu Kuangren laughed.

Just as the two of them decided to head towards the Flame Bulwark Tribe, Chu Kuangren suddenly sensed something and stopped in his steps. “Stop. Hold on for a while.”

“What’s the matter, Young Master?”

“I sense the aura of a god not far away from here.”

Chu Kuangren’s Emperor Thoughts could now cover the whole Firmament Star, but he would normally keep it to himself and not use it.

After all, who would keep their senses active all the time?

However, despite his senses being inactive, Chu Kuangren could still sense any strange auras within the vicinity.

“Three thousand kilometers away.”

Chu Kuangren’s spiritual thoughts spread forth and arrived at a mountain valley.

There were two gods inside there.

Judging by their auras, they were subordinate gods of the Venerable Storm God.

A wild beast was with them. It looked like a tiger that had wings growing from its back. It was a Manticore!

“Manticore, I want you to attack the Flame Bulwark Tribe. How’re your preparations coming along?” one of the subordinate gods asked.

The Manticore was a little hesitant as he replied, “There are many powerful warriors in the Flame Bulwark Tribe. I do not wish to make enemies with them.”

“Oh, does that mean you’re going to disobey the gods’ orders?”

The Manticore immediately became horrified. “I wouldn’t dare. However, I’m afraid I won’t pose a large threat to the Flame Bulwark Tribe alone.”

“Don’t worry. Other than you, the Scarlet Panther, Lightning Beasts, and others have agreed to attack as well.”

“Hm… Alright.” The Manticore nodded.

“Very well. All of you shall attack the Flame Bulwark Tribe together at this time tomorrow. Then, we will attack and fend you off.”

One of the Greater Subordinate Gods said.

“Understood.”

Chu Kuangren could hear everything they said in the valley clearly.

He sneered. “It’s the same tricks all over again. Aren’t the gods bored of using this ploy all the time?”
