The old man in animal hide stopped the crowd from attacking ye chen and walked toward him. He cupped his fists solemnly.”Respected outsider, I am Zhu Li, an elder of the spirit guardian tribe. My tribesmen failed to recognize Mt. Tai. I hope you can forgive me!”
His words were extremely sincere and he was not arrogant or impatient.
Ye chen glanced at him and waved his sleeves. Kagu and the others who had been imprisoned immediately regained their ability to move. They subconsciously wanted to attack him again.
“Bastard!”
“How dare you mess around in front of a heavenly Lord?” Zhu Li shouted angrily. Why aren’t you retreating?”
Kagu and the others ‘expressions changed and they immediately retreated to the side. However, the countless eyes that looked at ye chen again became extremely fearful.
Heavenly Lord of cultivation!
This was practically their nemesis!
Flying swords, magical treasures, divine powers, spell techniques, talismans ... No matter which one it was, it would be able to unleash an earth-shattering power!
“Many thanks to this fellow Daoist!”
Zhu Li once again cupped his fists at ye chen.”May I know how to address you?”
“I’m ye chen!” Ye chen said.
“So it’s fellow Daoist ye!”
Zhu Li’s attitude became even more polite.”Fellow Daoist ye, why don’t you come over to my spirit guardian tribe and have a few cups of wine? this can also be considered as me apologizing to you.”
Ye chen wanted to refuse but after considering that he was not very familiar with the waste realm, he nodded.
He wasn’t worried that Zhu Li had ulterior motives or was plotting against him. In the face of absolute strength, everything was meaningless.
“Fellow Daoist ye, please!”
Zhu Li was overjoyed and immediately beckoned ye chen to follow him.
“How do you know I’m from the outside world, and from the outer realms at that?” ye chen asked as he walked.
I knew it the moment I saw you, fellow Daoist ye.”
Zhu Li stopped in his tracks and looked at him. “It’s because there have been many outsiders coming to the waste realm in the past ten years. Every time they came, they would set off a storm of blood.”
“You’ve killed so many creatures in our desolate territory and plundered too much wealth ...”
“To be honest, many existences in the waste realm don’t welcome you!”
He shook his head slightly, as if he was bitter.
“Oh?”
“Oh,” ye chen replied with a half-smile.”If that’s the case, why did you still invite me to the tribe as a guest? Aren’t you worried that I’ll be like those people?”
“I can’t deny that you’re strong.”
Zhu Li’s expression was calm and he was not angry at all.”However, this old man still has some tricks up his sleeve. If fellow Daoist really does that, it’ll only result in a lose-lose situation for both sides.”
He did not hide the warning in his words.
Ye chen smiled and did not say anything else.
Soon, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group arrived at a village. There were about a thousand households in the village, and the villagers were dressed the same as Kagu and the others.
The only thing that caught ye Chen’s attention was a stone tower at the entrance of the village. The stone tower was like a mountain that reached the sky. There were complicated and ancient patterns engraved on it. It was as if it had an eternal existence and would never fall.
At this moment, the ground in front of the stone tower was filled with Tributes, including many ferocious beasts.
“This Pagoda is the ancestral Pagoda of our spirit guardian village!”
As if sensing his doubts, Zhu Li smiled and said,””The ancestor Pagoda has a total of nine levels. According to legend, this Pagoda was built by the first village chief of our spirit sacrifice village. The generations of village chiefs of our spirit sacrifice village are enshrined within this Pagoda.”
Ye chen nodded slightly. He could not help but subconsciously send out a wisp of his consciousness to envelope the stone tower, as if he wanted to spy on the scene inside.
“Swish!”
However, just as his divine sense touched the stone tower, a terrifying devouring power suddenly came from the stone tower and swallowed his divine sense.
“Interesting!” Ye Chen’s expression turned serious.
When he wanted to try again, he saw that Zhu Li had already entered the village. Ye chen could only suppress his impulse and follow the man.
As he walked, he saw an old woman holding two stone weights that weighed five hundred Jin with one hand, and a child less than five years old swinging a large cauldron a thousand feet away.
“This village is extraordinary!”
His eyes flickered. First, the entire village was body-tempering, and then there was an extremely mysterious stone tower.
Not long after, he followed Zhu Li into a bamboo building. The bamboo building was not big, but the view was very good. It was directly facing the stone tower at the entrance of the village, and he could see the entire stone tower in full view.
As soon as the two of them sat down, two strong women came over with two large jars of wine. It seemed to be fruit wine, and as soon as the lid was opened, an incomparably rich fragrance assailed their noses. There was also a faint smell of Chinese medicinal herbs.
Zhu Li took the initiative to pour two bowls and smiled.””Fellow Daoist ye, this is the medicinal wine of our spirit sacrifice village. It has an extremely great strengthening effect on qi and blood!”
Ye chen was not pretentious. He picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. Immediately, he felt as if there was a fire burning in his stomach that spread to his limbs and bones.
Seeing that he had finished the cup in one gulp, Zhu Li was shocked.”Fellow Daoist ye, you’re a good drinker. You don’t know how strong this medicinal wine is. Even I can only drink half a bowl at a time, or my blood vessels will burst ...”
“To be honest, this ye has also once cultivated the path of body refinement.”
Ye chen smiled faintly.
Only then did Zhu Li come to a realization. After toasting him with two more bowls, he stood up and said,””Fellow Daoist ye, I still have some matters to attend to. Please wait here for a moment.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Ye chen looked at him thoughtfully. After making sure that no one was around, he once again sent a wisp of his divine consciousness toward the stone tower at the entrance of the village.
As expected, as soon as his wisp of divine sense touched the stone tower, it instantly disappeared, but the stone tower still didn’t move.
Ye Chen’s expression did not change. This time, he split a fifth of his psychic power.
This time, his divine sense finally penetrated into the stone tower. He immediately felt an ancient Qi blowing in his face. This ancient Qi was extremely desolate and ancient.
The inside of the stone tower was rather dark, but the space was much wider than he had imagined.
Ye chen controlled his divine consciousness to investigate from the first floor up. The higher he went, the more intense the ancient Qi became.
What he saw caused his pupils to contract.
It was a world filled with purple gold, like a vast purple gold ocean. In the center of the purple gold ocean, there was a giant about a thousand feet tall lying quietly.
The giant’s entire body was purple and gold in color. On its skin, there were many mysterious and heart-palpitating runes that were slowly moving.
The giant seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Even so, the breath he exhaled made the space of the ninth floor somewhat unbearable.
“Is this an ancient body cultivator?!!”
Ye Chen’s heart jolted.”That’s not right. Even physical cultivators shouldn’t have such pure physical power. Unless ...”
“Unless it’s an ancient wizard ...”
A shocking thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
All of a sudden, the giant, who had been standing still, opened his eyes.
