Chapter 324: The Sorrow of the Small Tribe
Chapter 324: The Sorrow of the Small Tribe
"How many years of recorded history does your race have?" Xu Chen said leisurely while watching the battle on the ring.
"The earliest record is 96 years ago," the great elder of the Shenbian tribe replied quickly.
"In 96 years, a gifted person can at least step onto the path to immortality. There are 2000 million of you in the Divine Transformation Clan. Logically, there should be strong people above the path to immortality."
When the Great Elder of the Shenbian Clan heard this, his expression became complicated.
“The divine transformation clan’s heavenly tribulation is extremely fierce. None of the tens of thousands of elders in our clan who have reached the immortal realm can break through the thunder tribulation.”
"Thunder tribulation! How strong can it be?" Xu Chen suddenly felt that this word was a little far away.
On the great road of human cultivators, the thunder tribulation that leads to the immortal realm seems to be just a formality. Except for a few unlucky ones, Xu Chen has seldom heard of anyone dying from the thunder tribulation.
Every big city and large sect of the human race will have a thunder tribulation platform specifically for overcoming thunder tribulations, as well as corresponding Taoist tools, talismans, and magic arrays to assist.
Even without these, the probability of humans surviving thunder tribulations with the skills they practice and a main magical power is more than 80%.
Is this the heritage of a great clan?
The expression of the clan elder beside him became complicated.
"Forget it. Just perform well. If you are qualified to become a vassal of my Daxi Sect, a small thunder tribulation will not be a problem." Xu Chen leaned back in his chair, watching the battle between the geniuses who had just won the previous match and the newcomers.
"Thank you, Human Envoy!"
At this time, a stream of light flew towards Xu Chen from a distance. It was so fast that the members of the Ascension Realm Divine Transformation Clan present had no time to react, and a special jade slip appeared in Xu Chen's hand.
This is the historical record of the Shenbian tribe for nearly a million years. Xu Chen decided to take a look at the history of the Shenbian tribe.
On the stage below, one after another, geniuses from the Shenbian clan at the same level came onto the stage to fight.
After ten full days, the competition among the Shenbian tribe, who could barely be called geniuses, was completed.
Looking at the strong men on the field, from the Qi and Blood Realm to the Immortal Realm, Xu Chen waved his hand, and three treasures and three Taoist weapons appeared in his hands.
"It's for you."
Xu Chen read through the nearly one million years of history of the Shenbian Clan, which was all a history of being oppressed by the previous big clan in the Xuanxian Realm.
In a word, it's miserable. People live in fear every day, especially the lower class. Even the privileged class of the Shenbian tribe has a hard time.
However, despite the tragedy, Xu Chen still felt a sense of cleverness when looking at the Shenbian tribe, otherwise they would not have been able to survive for such a long time among the big tribes with them as their perspective.
The Shenbian tribe has experienced three crises that nearly wiped out their tribe in history. All three times, they were battles for survival between the main tribe they depended on and other large tribes.
At this critical moment, except for 20% of the Shenbian tribe members who left behind the inheritance, the rest of the Shenbian tribe followed the main tribe to fight on the battlefield.
The first two times, their main clan won, and their lives became a little better.
The last time, the other big tribe won, and only 3 were left in the entire tribe. However, because of their characteristics, they were left behind.
Finally, the magical birds that Xu Chen sent out to gather information gradually returned, reporting what they had seen and heard during this period.
"Just barely qualified. This is considered a great example of gratitude in the history of the Shenbian tribe."
“Although they are not as good as the Golden Armored Thunder Ox Clan, they can still be used.”
At this time, outside the palace where Xu Chen was, the great elder of the Shenbian tribe looked calm, but he was actually very panicked inside.
The other members of the Shenbian tribe were even worse off, their faces were panicked and their bodies were trembling.
They knew the moment had come to decide their fate.
If the human envoy agrees to make them a vassal, their race can continue its inheritance.
If they do not agree, there may be terrifying beings that will wipe out their entire clan at any time.
When the great elder of the Shenbian tribe thought of this, he recalled the battle more than 30 years ago that had always been his nightmare.
The powerful upper tribesmen whom they used to regard as gods were mowed down by more terrifying existences, hundreds and thousands of them were killed like grass. They could still resist at the beginning of the battle, but it was a massacre later.
Blood flowed like a river, and sometimes even the remains of hundreds of millions of former superior tribes might not be left.
Flesh and bones piled up into mountains, blood flowed like a sea, great cities were destroyed, and the sky and earth changed color.
This scene had always echoed in his dreams, and even when he was practicing, he would recall this scene.
With the sound of footsteps, Xu Chen walked out of the most luxurious palace that the Shenbian tribe could build, which immediately attracted the attention of all the Shenbian tribe members who were waiting outside the palace.
"Your Excellency." The great elder of the Shenbian tribe looked at Xu Chen nervously.
"In my opinion, the choice between your race's characteristics and the general trend facing your race is barely acceptable."
"From now on, you, the Shenbian tribe, will be a vassal race of my Daxi Sect."
"Work hard to cultivate, and serve the human race well in the future. Maybe you will have the opportunity to become a vassal race of the human race in the future."
These words made all the Shenbian people look happy.
Xu Chen waved his hand, and a huge light curtain appeared in front of the Shenbian tribe.
"The main continent must be populated by humans. According to convention, you can settle on the edge of the continent or on a giant island in the sea."
"Pick one."
The great elder of the Shenbian tribe looked at the map on the light screen, which was the largest topographic map of this Xuanxian world.
"Your Excellency, I wonder if it is okay for our Shenbian tribe to choose this place."
The Shenbian tribe pointed to a giant island closest to the main continent, which was a hundred times the size of their previous territory.
"Okay, the supervisor of my Daxi Sect will contact you about the follow-up matters."
At this moment, a large amount of calamity clouds gathered thousands of miles away, and the violent energy attracted Xu Chen's attention.
"From your clan?" Xu Chen asked. "The third elder of our clan has reached the limit of his ascension to the immortal realm, so he had to break through in order to gain that invisible chance of survival." The expression of the great elder of the Shenbian clan was a little complicated.
Another old friend who I have been with for many years is leaving.
"Go and see how strong the thunder tribulation of your God Change Clan is."
As Xu Chen spoke, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards the direction of the calamity cloud.
The calamity clouds covered an area of hundreds of miles. Silver snakes danced wildly in the clouds, condensing a terrifying energy from heaven and earth.
Xu Chen was outside the calamity cloud, looking at the man from the God Transformation Clan in the sky. At this moment, the man from the God Transformation Clan had transformed into a hundred-foot-long dragon, which was winding and circling in the air.
"This is a bit shabby." Xu Chen looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but say.
A tattered magic circle, plus an item that can barely be considered a defensive orb.
"Our clan has never had the opportunity to obtain the array formation and weapon refining inheritance." The great elder of the Shenbian clan lowered his head, feeling extremely bitter in his heart.
Just as he was speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck.
It directly shattered the defensive gem of the Taoist weapon, and the protective formation was almost broken apart by the thunder.
"The thunder tribulation is mostly based on one's own destiny. Generally, there are nine thunder tribulations. The cultivation techniques and magical powers cultivated will add more according to the realm. Most of the time, there are only five or six more thunder tribulations."
"How many thunder tribulations do you have in your Shenbian tribe?"
Xu Chen looked at the second thunder tribulation that was about to brew in the distance and asked the great elder of the Shenbian tribe next to him.
"Forty thousand years ago, our clan had a genius with immortal aptitude who withstood 4 divine thunderbolts."
“He couldn’t hold on and fell. The power of the calamity clouds in the sky was only half consumed.” The elder of the Shenbian tribe looked a little sad.
The second thunderbolt struck again, breaking the formation, and the power of thunderbolt struck the dragon.
Suddenly the dragon trembled violently, recovered at the fastest speed, and then faced the sky again.
"Without formations or magic weapons, and the skills and supernatural powers I've practiced aren't strong, I can only withstand seven thunders at most." Xu Chen calculated silently.
At this moment, Xu Chen discovered that the surrounding Shenbian tribesmen all knelt down in front of him.
"Sir, can you save the third elder of our tribe?" The expression of the great elder of the Shenbian tribe seemed to be that he had made a great determination.
"It's easy to save him. For me, it's a piece of cake."
"But what can you give?" Xu Chen said calmly as he looked at the kneeling members of the Shenbian Clan.
"We can..." The great elder of the Shenbian tribe opened his mouth.
He felt that the things he regarded as treasures might be garbage in front of Wrinkles. Their Shenbian tribe was too poor to produce anything decent.
"I won't tease you any more. Just do your best to complete the sect's mission from now on."
The Shenbian tribe will also be considered a force of the sect in the future, so we should save them if necessary.
As Xu Chen spoke, he waved his hand lightly, and three defensive Taoist weapons flew towards the dragon in the distance.
Then he formed a seal with one hand, and a 300-foot-long magical tree of life grew out from the deep space not far from the dragon.
There was also a emerald green life cicada lying between the dragon's eyebrows.
A void magic array covers the area where the dragon is.
"36 divine thunderbolts, logically speaking, are indeed a bit too many."
"It should be related to the characteristics of your Shenbian clan." Xu Chen was thinking about the classics of all races that he had read. Among them, it was mentioned that races with special talents would have special features in their thunder tribulations.
"Our ancestors said the same thing." The great elder of the Shenbian tribe quickly agreed.
"Those with the best qualifications in your clan can undergo nine transformations. The transformed ones have about 80% of their natural combat power. Are there any restrictions on these transformations?" Xu Chen suddenly asked.
"I haven't come across one that can't be transformed, but if I want to change the origin, the method is a bit difficult. One is a corpse that has just died less than a moment ago, and the other is a body that has been possessed for ten years."
After listening to this explanation, Xu Chen fell silent and looked at the dragon in the distance again.
"Really, a good candidate for the whole clan's undercover."
"Can your clan's origin change?"
Xu Chen originally wanted to ask whether he could be seen through by the Daluo Immortal or the Great Venerable, but then he thought that this world could only accommodate Xuanxian at most, and these Shenbian people might not even know what the Golden Immortal Realm was.
"No more questions, just continue watching this thunder tribulation."
As Xu Chen spoke, his mind entered the communication magic weapon and started chatting with Yang Wanshan.
Later we learned that this group of divine transformation people had just been discovered.
Hidden in a cave hundreds of miles underground, their hiding place was discovered when the Xuanxian raided the area, but as soon as they saw that the strongest among them had only reached the immortal realm, they didn't bother to care.
Later, the Daxi Sect’s army swept through the fairyland and missed this place perfectly, so these Shenbian people were able to survive until now.
The dragon obtained a new formation and three defensive Taoist weapons, plus the life cicada and the life tree to restore its vitality.
He managed to withstand 36 thunder tribulations.
The calamity clouds dissipated, and a ray of fairy light appeared from the void and fell into the center of the dragon's eyebrows.
An aura of immortality spread out.
The hundred-foot-long dragon began to grow rapidly in size and did not stop until it was 800 feet long.
Xu Chen looked at the 800-foot-long dragon hundreds of miles away and felt that it was quite majestic and a good choice for pulling the cart.
