The Master of Beasts

Chapter 871

Although Xing Yan didn't give a definite answer, the implication of his words was already quite clear.

"Thank you, Master, for your trust!"

"Hmm, your and your fellow disciple's cultivation is too low. Go back and continue your practice. You must at least reach the level of Warrior King."

"Yes, Master!"

Once again, they submerged into the molten lava. After passing through layers of scorching magma, the two quickly landed on a giant red stone platform.

"Who would've thought we'd end up taking a native as our master? Imagine if our ancestors found out, would we be sacrificed as offerings to them!"

"The law of the jungle; we are just trying to survive!"

"Besides, Elder Chu did things far more shameless than us!" Song Chengwen said with a cold smile.

"That's true; we should just focus on our cultivation. In no more than ten years, I can break through to Daluo!" Li Chengsong's eyes gleamed with a hint of brilliance.

If it were in the True Realm, though confident, Li Chengsong knew breaking through to Daluo would require tens of thousands of years of arduous training, unlike the ease with which it could be achieved now.

"Indeed, who says this isn't our opportunity!" Song Chengwen remarked with emotion.

During their countless dark days as slaves, there were innumerable times they thought they'd be better off dead, yet the undying flame of anger in their hearts kept them going.

Until Rong Yan perished in battle, the Five Stars Tribe scattered and fled, giving the two a chance. They traded body refining techniques from the True Realm to gain favor with Xing Yan, rising directly to become his direct disciples.

Though they harbored hatred for the Five Stars Tribe, Xing Yan, their master, truly left them with nothing to criticize.

Whether in cultivation or daily life, he took great care of them.

Raised in the Holy Land, the two had witnessed countless schemes and deceit, yet they had never met someone so genuine.

Simply because you were his disciple, he treated you well unconditionally.

"Chu Tianshu, oh Chu Tianshu, you may be an elder in the Holy Land, but this is neither the Holy Land nor the True Realm. At least, I won't let you frame Master!" Song Chengwen silently vowed in his heart.

Meanwhile, after leaving the volcano's mouth, Chu Tianshu headed straight to Aphran's tent.

"Clan Leader, I'm afraid Lord Xing Yan won't agree!"

"Won't agree?" A hint of confusion appeared on Aphran's face.

The reemergence of the Five Stars Tribe would undoubtedly face challenges from the Three Lives Tribe, but as long as the new tribal settlement was slightly off the beaten path, it shouldn't be a problem.

Additionally, tribes from the Heavenly Gift Realm valued their reputation. If the Five Stars Tribe had not appeared for a long time, even if Xing Yan managed to regain activity in the Sunset Mountain Range with his high cultivation, he couldn't earn the respect of others.

On the contrary, he would be branded as disloyal and unfilial. No matter how high his cultivation was, he couldn't escape this stain. Whether he wanted to establish his own tribe or pledge allegiance to another, he wouldn't be given much importance.

"Why wouldn't he agree? Xing Yan's cultivation has reached the King Level Peak. Once the Five Stars Tribe reemerges and stays far from the Three Lives Tribe, it won't be targeted again. He might even gain fame from this; isn't that a good thing?"

Having matured greatly after the destruction of her tribe, Aphran was different. Without the domineering presence of Rong Yan, Chu Tianshu, with his cunning mind, had become the chief strategist of the Five Stars Tribe.

"Perhaps he has ulterior motives!" Chu Tianshu said with a solemn expression.

"Impossible!"

Aphran shook her head immediately. Even in decay, the Five Stars Tribe still had several King Level beings, with Xing Yan being the most powerful.

"Let's put this matter on hold for now. I need to ponder over it!"

"Yes, Clan Leader!"

"Hmm!"

After leaving Aphran's tent, Chu Tianshu's face turned instantly gloomy.

In the initial chaos of escape, the survival of the remnants of the Five Stars Tribe had been largely due to Chu Tianshu's capabilities.

He had assumed that after expending a great deal of soul power and even shortening his own life span to help Aphran reunite the tribe's remnants and find this treasured land, he would be appreciated and granted a certain status.

Yet, the outcome was beyond Chu Tianshu's expectations.

Aphran, though captivated by his appearance and his wife, often required him to address her as "Clan Leader."

Nominally, he was considered the strategist of the Five Stars Tribe, but in reality, he possessed no actual power.

"You've been unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust!"

In Chu Tianshu's palm appeared a pure white token inscribed with the characters for Star Moon on both sides!

In the endless dense forest,

Xiao Ying emerged from the shadow of a large tree and rasped, "Have you decided?"

"Heh, wasn't this all within your expectations? Otherwise, with your abilities, you wouldn't have waited here for me," Chu Tianshu retorted with a cold smile.

"We don't underestimate an elder of the Soul Suppressing Holy Land!" Xiao Ying replied calmly.

"The Soul Suppressing Holy Land, huh!"

Chu Tianshu's face revealed a bitter smile, but he quickly composed himself.

"My demands are simple. I can assist you in eliminating the Five Stars Tribe, but afterward, I want to attain the position I deserve!" Chu Tianshu stated in a firm voice.

"Of course. But we are not looking to eliminate the Five Stars Tribe; we are absorbing it instead!"

Xiao Ying chuckled lightly, "Based on your contributions, you will receive what you desire!"

"Here are the remaining strengths of the Five Stars Tribe. I hope you truly have the power to absorb them!"

Chu Tianshu cast a deep glance at Xiao Ying before quickly vanishing into the forest.

......

Star Moon Tribe

Chen Jiuge carefully read through the intelligence Xiao Ying had brought back, word by word.

"Three King Levels. Apart from the slightly distant Xing Yan, the remaining two are die-hard loyalists of the Five Stars Tribe!"

"However, seeing the Five Stars Tribe fall into the hands of the least talented Aphran was somewhat unexpected!"

"Two King Levels, huh?"

Chen Jiuge pondered. In truth, the current strength of the Star Moon Tribe, if fully consolidated, could easily absorb the remnants of the Five Stars Tribe without much issue.

"But doing so would mean the forces of Jialouluo and Meng Ze would become uncontrollable!"

Chen Jiuge sighed inwardly. Although the Evil Ghost Clan and Nightmare Clan might seem well-behaved for now, it's only because the right opportunity hasn't arisen.

Once Jialouluo and Meng Ze noticed his vulnerability, the situation might change.

"Aside from the two King Levels, there's Xing Yan, who's nearly at the peak of King Level. Then there are thirteen Warrior King Level individuals."

"Aksu, Ku Tou, Akam. Among my Heavenly Gift Realm natives, only these three have reached Warrior King Level. Shuibing and others have quite a few under them too. Overall, they shouldn't be too different from the Five Stars Tribe!"

"Let's wait a little longer. The development in the Chaos World is promising. Sorrowful Girl should break through soon, and those nine in the Nine Yang Land should be close too!"

By then, Chen Jiuge would hold the utmost authority both in title and in reality within the Star Moon Tribe!

"Xiao Ying, thank you for your hard work. Keep an eye on the Five Stars Tribe and inform Chu Tianshu to report any changes to us promptly!"

"Master, when do we attack the Five Stars Tribe?"

"No rush on that!"

After sending Xiao Ying off, Chen Jiuge quickly moved to the secret chamber.

His mind continued to descend, sinking into the endless void and darkness, until his eyes suddenly brightened, revealing the Chaos World before him.

"Ever since I communicated with the Chaos Pearl in the Five Elements Forbidden Land, the difficulty of reconnecting with the Chaos World seems much reduced!"

With a fleeting thought, Chen Jiuge stopped wasting time and directly reached out to the chaos.

The time he could remain connected with the Chaos Pearl was limited, so he decided to take care of the urgent matters first.

"Chaos, Chaos!"

After several calls, Chaos' enlarged head peeked out from the distant Chaos World.

"Master, why have you come again?"

A hint of doubt flickered in Chaos' eyes. Could the suppression of the Heavenly Gift Realm have lessened? But that couldn't be; he hadn't felt any decrease in suppression!

"Let's skip the small talk. How is the Chaos World now?"

Worlds are categorized by levels.

From the lowest to the highest, they are micro-worlds (comparable to large grotto heavens, small worlds), finite small worlds, the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Supreme Origin Realm (also known as the Immortal Realm, Divine Realm).

And finally, the Central Realm!

Both the True Realm and the Heavenly Gift Realm have reached the level of a supreme origin realm. As for the Central Realm, no one knows if it truly exists.

After all, beings at the level of Daluo would never belittle themselves nor believe in the existence of a world more advanced than their own.

This is the confidence of the strong, and also their pride.

"It's on the verge of evolving into the Three Thousand Great Worlds!"
