"Okay! Then you can stay in Chen Village from now on."
Chen Mu took out a communication jade token and asked Landuo upstairs to come down and arrange accommodations for Gu Zi'an.
"Go and get some rest first. I'll modify your Demonic Pattern tomorrow."
Upon hearing Chen Mu's arrangement, a hint of excitement flashed in Gu Zi'an's eyes. He bowed deeply to Chen Mu and left the Rune Research Institute with Landuo.
The most important reason why he traveled thousands of miles to Chen Village to seek refuge with Chen Mu was that Chen Mu could transform his body and make him a genius in cultivating the Seven Kills Sword Art.
In the Wilderness, killing and being killed are commonplace; only strength endures.
The reason the Gu Lineage has fallen to its current state is simply because they lack strength. Therefore, he now has only one goal: to increase their strength and become a powerful force.
And so, Chen Village maintained its rapid development for another two years.
Over the past two years, Chen Mu has established a close partnership with the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce, with the most important project being arms dealing.
Chen Mu previously dared not engage in arms trading, mainly because he was worried that his insufficient strength would attract the covetous eyes of other powerful forces.
But now Chen Village is getting stronger and stronger, and it has the resources to fight against other forces. Moreover, Chen Village also has the divine beast White Turtle to protect it, so there is no need to worry too much.
After establishing a complete automated production line in Chen Village, Chen Mu began mass-producing some lower-end weapons and had the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce sell them on the market.
Currently, the main items for sale are Rune Gun No. 1, Rune Simplified Version, and Short-Range Rune Handheld Cannon.
The profits from the arms trade can be more than tenfold, so Chen Village had no economic worries and its development speed was naturally incredibly fast.
During Chen Mu Mu's three years in Chen Village, the Chen Village defeated several advanced tribes in succession, and its territory expanded rapidly, now covering more than 1,000 square kilometers.
With a territory of over a thousand square kilometers, it has already become the ninth advanced tribe outside of the Eight Great High Tribes of the Wilderness.
This caused panic among many Wilderness forces, some of Wilderness even believed that Chen Village, with its current rate of development, had the potential to dominate the Wilderness.
Deep in the Wilderness, there stands a magnificent and towering palace.
Around the palace, many exotic animals frolic, and the garden is filled with colorful and beautiful flowers, making it look like a fairyland from afar.
This place is the abode of the Wilderness gods, and the location of the Wilderness Divine Temple.
In the main hall on the first floor of the palace, two cultivators dressed in red robes sat upright.
" Mu Zhang, Fairy Wanyi."
Haha, I run into you guys again. Who's switching jobs with me this time?
A man came down from upstairs and greeted the two men with a smile.
"It is I, Fellow Xing Le."
"Then I'm leaving. You and Wanyi are in charge of things outside."
Mu Zhang stood up, took off his red robe, and handed it, along with a token, to Xing Le.
"Alright! Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Mu Zhang."
Xing Le accepted the robe and token from Xing Le Mu Zhang and watched him walk up the stairs to the upper level of the palace.
Xing Le, Mu Zhang, and Su Wanyi are all servants of the Wilderness Divine Temple.
In the Temple, a servant of the gods is replaced as the Temple messenger every ten years. There are usually two Temple messengers, and each Temple messenger has a term of twenty years. After the term expires, they will be replaced by other servants of the gods.
The mission of the Temple messengers is to maintain order in the Wilderness during their term of office, prevent powerful cultivators from killing indiscriminately, and drive out the Central Land armies from invading the Wilderness, among other things.
Xing Le has now replaced Mu Zhang as the new Wilderness Envoy, and the first thing he needs to do is inquire about the major events that have recently occurred to Su Wanyi.
"Fellow Xing Le, in recent years, the Western Otherworldly Demon Emperor have become restless again, conquering large swathes of territory in the Central Land..."
In the Wilderness northwest, many Otherworldly Demon had previously been encountered sweeping through the borders.
Su Wanyi first told Xing Le about the information regarding the Otherworldly Demon.
"Later, Mu Zhang and I gathered some powerful warriors from advanced tribes to hunt down the invading Otherworldly Demon of the Wilderness. We killed several Otherworldly Demon King, and now they know how powerful we are, so they probably won't bother the Wilderness again for a while."
Su Wanyi seemed quite happy as she spoke, even though several powerful figures from the advanced tribes had died, but that was none of her business.
Xing Le was initially troubled by the arrival of the Otherworldly Demon wreaking havoc in the Wilderness, but upon hearing that the problem had been resolved, he smiled with delight.
"Excellent! Fairy Wanyi is indeed wise and brave, driving away the Otherworldly Demon so easily, hahahaha."
He paused, then continued asking.
"Has anything else major happened in the Wilderness recently?"
"Besides the Otherworldly Demon, there is another rather special matter."
There is a tribe called ' Chen Village ' that has developed extremely rapidly in recent years.
It is said that in less than ten years, they have risen from a low-level tribe to a high-level tribe, and now they are showing signs of becoming the ninth largest tribe in the Wilderness.
Su Wanyi spoke, a hint of amazement appeared on her face.
"This... can't be right?"
Xing Le thought about it for a moment, then couldn't help but have some doubts.
With the Temple suppressing them, even the most powerful cultivators are powerless in the Wilderness. Therefore, for a low-level tribe to advance to a high-level tribe, it would take at least several generations of effort, let alone becoming comparable to the eight great tribes of the Wilderness.
"Believe it or not, Chen Village seems to have a particularly strong logistics team supporting it."
Their army was not only equipped with the best weapons and armor, but also with some particularly powerful Rune Artifacts.
They are now invincible in the Wilderness, winning overwhelming victories in every battle; no tribe can stand against them.
Su Wanyi had clearly done some research on Chen Village, she explained.
" Rune Artifacts? They have Rune Artifacts, don't other tribes use Rune Artifacts?"
I refuse to believe that many advanced tribes, though not as powerful as the eight great tribes, have deep-rooted strength and could be defeated by a newly emerging tribe.
Xing Le still didn't believe it.
"Fine, then go see the Suspended Light Realm for yourself. Seeing is believing."
Su Wanyi was too lazy to argue with Xing Le, so she found a place to sit down and closed her eyes to cultivate.
Xing Le then realized he had been taking things too seriously. He scratched his head, not daring to provoke Su Wanyi, so he walked alone to a huge round mirror magic weapon and activated it with his Spiritual Power.
This magical artifact is the Suspended Light Realm, the most useful magical artifact for the Temple 'Temple messengers.
Through this magical artifact, they could observe almost every corner of the Wilderness, and they could know everything happening in the world without leaving their homes, mainly because of it.
However, the Suspended Light Realm consumes a great deal of Spiritual Power. Even these powerful divine servants do not use the Suspended Light Realm Suspended Light Realm to explore casually. They only use it to explore information about specific locations when necessary.
" Suspended Light Realm, Chen Village!"
Xing Le made a hand seal, guiding the Suspended Light Realm to investigate Chen Village. After a while, a blurry image appeared in the Suspended Light Realm.
He stared wide-eyed, eager to see what secrets Chen Village held.
But after a while, the Suspended Light Realm turned into complete darkness, and nothing could be seen.
