The old man in animal hide stopped everyone from attacking Ye Chen, then walked towards Ye Chen and solemnly cupped his fists. "Respected outsider, I am Zhu Li, an elder of the Guardian Spirit Tribe. My clansmen had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive them!"
His words were extremely sincere, neither arrogant nor rash.
Ye Chen glanced at him and waved his sleeve. Kagu and the rest who were restrained immediately regained their ability to move. They instinctively wanted to attack him again.
"Bastard!"
Zhu Li became angry and shouted, "How dare you do this in front of a Heavenly Lord of Cultivation? Back off!!! "
The expressions of Ka Gu and the rest changed, and they immediately retreated to the side. However, the countless gazes that were looking at Ye Chen were filled with fear.
Heavenly Lord of Cultivation!
This was practically their nemesis!
Flying swords, magic treasures, divine abilities, spells, talismans, no matter which one it was, they could all unleash earth-shattering power!
"Thank you, fellow cultivator!"
Zhu Li clasped his fists at Ye Chen again. "May I know your name?"
"I'm Ye Chen!" Ye Chen replied.
"So it's Fellow Ye!"
Zhu Li's attitude became more and more polite. "Fellow Daoist Ye, why don't you come to my Guardian Spirit Tribe and drink a few cups of wine? You can consider this old man's apology to Fellow Daoist."
Initially, Ye Chen wanted to reject him. However, after considering that he was not familiar with the Waste Region, 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 called Ye Chen to follow him immediately.
Ye Chen said as he walked, "How do you know that I'm from the outside world?"
"I knew it the moment I saw Fellow Daoist Ye."
Zhu Li stopped and looked at him. She said, "That's because in the past ten years or so, outsiders have frequently entered our Desolate Region. Every time they come, they will cause a great bloodbath."
"Wait until you kill so many living beings in the Desolate Region and plunder so much wealth …"
"To be honest, many existences in the Wasteland Realm do not welcome your arrival!"
He shook his head slightly as if he was bitter.
"Oh?"
Ye Chen gave a short response and smiled wryly. "If that's the case, why did you invite me to the tribe as a guest? Aren't you worried that I'll be like those people? "
"Your Excellency is strong, this old man does not dare to deny it."
Zhu Li's expression was calm and not the slightest bit angry. "However, I believe that I still have some tricks up my sleeves. If you really do that, both sides will suffer."
He didn't hide the warning in his words.
Ye Chen smiled and said nothing more.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group arrived at a village. The village was about a thousand households, and the villagers were dressed exactly like Kagu and the others.
The only thing that caught Ye Chen's attention was the stone tower that stood at the entrance of the village. The stone tower was like a towering mountain, and there were complicated and simple patterns carved on it. It seemed to be an eternal existence that would never fall.
At this moment, the ground before the stone pagoda was filled with tributes, and there was no lack of ferocious beasts among them.
"This pagoda is my Guardian Spirit Village's ancestral pagoda!"
As if sensing his confusion, Zhu Li said with a smile, "The ancestral pagoda has a total of nine floors. According to legend, this pagoda was built by the first village chief of my Guardian Spirit Village. It enshrines the past village chiefs of my Guardian Spirit Village."
Ye Chen nodded lightly. He could not help but split a strand of his Divine Consciousness subconsciously and enveloped the stone pagoda, as if he wanted to pry into the scene inside.
"Buzz!"
However, just as his Divine Consciousness touched the stone pagoda, an incomparably terrifying devouring force suddenly came from the stone pagoda, forcefully devouring his Divine Consciousness.
Ye Chen's expression froze. "Interesting!"
When he wanted to try again, he saw that Zhu Li had already entered the village. Ye Chen could only suppress the urge in him and follow the former.
Along the way, he saw an old woman holding two stone locks that weighed 250 kilograms with one hand. There was even a child who was not even five years old swinging a large cauldron hundreds of meters away.
"This village is extraordinary!"
His eyes flickered. First, everyone in the village cultivated their bodies. Second, there was an extremely mysterious stone pagoda.
Not long after, he followed Zhu Li into a bamboo building. The bamboo building was not big, but the view was excellent. It faced the stone pagoda at the village entrance and could see the entire pagoda.
As soon as the two of them sat down, two sturdy women walked over with two large jars of wine. They seemed to be fruit wine. As soon as they opened the lids, an incomparably mellow aroma assailed their nostrils. There was also the faint smell of Chinese herbs.
Zhu Li took the initiative to pour two bowls and said with a smile, "Fellow Ye, this is the medicinal wine of my Guardian Spirit Village. It has a great effect on strengthening vital energy and blood!"
Ye Chen did not act pretentiously. He picked it up and drank it in one gulp. He immediately felt as if there was a ball of fire burning in his stomach. Then, it spread through his limbs and bones.
Seeing that he actually drank it in one gulp, Zhu Li immediately revealed a shocked expression. "Fellow Ye, you have a high alcohol tolerance. I don't know, but this medicinal wine is extremely strong. Even I can only drink half a bowl at a time. Otherwise, my blood vessels will burst …"
"To be honest, I've cultivated the Body Refining Dao before."
Ye Chen smiled faintly.
Only then did Zhu Li come to a realization. After toasting him two more bowls, he stood up and said, "Fellow Ye, I still have something to deal with. Please wait here for a moment."
With that, he turned around and left.
Ye Chen looked at him thoughtfully. When there was no one around, he separated a wisp of his Divine Consciousness and enveloped the stone pagoda at the village entrance.
As expected, the moment his wisp of Divine Consciousness touched the stone pagoda, it instantly disappeared. Meanwhile, the stone pagoda remained motionless.
Ye Chen's expression did not change. This time, he split a fifth of his Divine Consciousness.
This time, his Divine Consciousness finally entered the stone pagoda. He immediately felt an ancient aura assaulting his face. This ancient aura was extremely desolate and ancient.
The inside of the stone pagoda was rather dark, but the space was wider than he had imagined.
Ye Chen controlled his Divine Consciousness to investigate from the first floor. The higher he went, the denser the ancient aura became. When his Divine Consciousness entered the highest floor of the stone pagoda, the ninth floor …
What was reflected in his eyes caused his pupils to shrink violently.
It was a world filled with purplish-gold, like a vast purplish-gold ocean. In the center of the purplish-gold ocean, there was a giant about 300 meters tall lying quietly.
The giant's entire body was purplish-gold in color. On its skin, there were many mysterious and heart-palpitating runes slowly swaying.
The giant seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Even so, the breath that came out of his mouth caused the space on the ninth floor to be unable to bear the weight.
"This is an ancient body cultivator almighty?!"
Ye Chen calmed down slightly, "That's not right. Even a body cultivator shouldn't have such pure physical strength, unless …"
"Unless it's an ancient wizard …"
A horrifying thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, the motionless giant opened its eyes.
In an instant, it was as if heaven and earth had just been created, and the sun and moon had reversed.
