Chapter 659 - 266: Ancestral Land Conception
Building such a grand hall atop Giant Mountain Range, with numerous starry pillars descending—aren’t they afraid of the Wild Beasts in the Giant Mountain Range!
Though the Lords of each Bo Division hail from all parts of Yongyi, none are unaware that the Giant Mountain Range is Wild Beast territory.
Old Turtle continued forward, slowly landing on the square in front of the main hall in the southern area of the Clan Land meant for receiving guests.
At this moment, everyone could feel the majesty and enormity of the grand hall, surrounded by mountains, with pavilions standing in profusion.
Hanging from the eaves of the grand hall were witch lamps like ’little suns,’ each a Tier Four Witch Artifact.
After getting down from the Giant Turtle, Yann Wanyun and Lord Jishan led everyone from the square, ascending the steps until reaching the Cyan Jade Platform outside the grand hall.
Thud, thud, thud!
On the Cyan Jade Platform outside the grand hall, Huo Shan wore Tier Five Battle Armor embroidered with sun, moon, and stars, Witch Runes of Luwu and Fire Ape, beside him lay a black ox about a zhang in size.
This ox had large curved horns, appearing ordinary at first glance, but upon a second look, its rebellious nature was evident, with eyes flickering with black flames.
This was the Profound Fire Wild Ox, the only Tier Four Wild Beast among Red Fire Luwu’s many beasts with the potential to reach Tier Five.
Currently, it was at the Tier Four Peak level.
Its beast fire was quite peculiar, comparable to Luwu’s Supreme Yang Fire.
To have this Old Ox follow Huo Shan, Shen Can naturally paid a price.
He promised to assist the Old Ox in ascending to Tier Five, in return, the Old Ox agreed to become the Clan Guardian Beast for the Blazing Flame Tribe.
"I am the Lord of Blazing Flame Bo Division. Welcome everyone."
Upon hearing Huo Chang refer to himself as ’old,’ Huo Shan felt that in such a solemn setting, being too young was inappropriate.
Suddenly, more than seven hundred Divine Treasure Realm Martial Artists simultaneously looked at Huo Shan.
Currently, Huo Shan stood before the grand hall, where the ’little suns’ hanging from the eaves were intensely glowing, placing his standing spot relatively in the shadows.
Many Lords looked up, and under the lamp’s illumination, the aura of Huo Shan surged forth immediately.
"Greetings to Lord Blazing Flame."
"Greetings to Marquis!"
The crowd began speaking, among the numerous Lords were several scattered calling "Marquis."
The first among the Lords was regarded as Fang Bo, also could be called Marquis.
Since eight thousand years ago after Marquis Yongshan, no one on this land of Yongyi dared to call themselves Marquis.
This title isn’t casually given.
Yet, it seemed normal for someone to address as Marquis now.
After all, whether willingly or not, the Lords of Bo Divisions in Yongyi had now come to the Blazing Flame Bo Division.
Since Marquis Yongshan, Blazing Flame was the first tribe with the might to summon various divisions here.
"I summoned everyone to discuss how to fulfill the Marquis’s legacy, I, as a Tier Four Martial Artist, dare not use the title of Marquis."
Huo Shan showed no signs of nervousness. The clan had anticipated the issue of titles long ago, and he was prepared for it.
Among so many Lords, there were always those skilled in slander and intrigue.
"Everyone has been weary from travel, rest for a few days at my Blazing Flame, and after resting, we’ll convene for the alliance meeting."
After meeting with the Lords, Huo Shan arranged for clan members to guide these Lords down to rest.
The clan already knew how many Lords were being guided, thus had already made the arrangements.
Every Martial Artist coming to guide was a Celestial Vein Ninth Layer martial artist, clad in Tier Three Battle Armor, piloting flying ships.
As the Lords from each division ascended with the flying ships, the palace ensemble became increasingly clear in their view, with clan soldiers piloting Cyan Simurghs flying around.
Passing a place where the Starlight Array was activated, they also saw a Giant Turtle lying down, though much smaller than the Old Profound Turtle they rode, still exceeding a hundred zhang in size.
Traveling west a thousand miles through mountain ranges, where palaces stood on elevated land.
Lord Giant Sand, accompanied by the elder, disembarked from the flying ship, looking up to see the words ’Giant Sand’ written on the palace plaque.
Outside the palace, common witch medicines flourished, with a stone path paved with cyan jade leading directly into the hall.
"Esteemed seniors, this is Giant Sand Palace, should you have any needs, you can call me directly via the Communication Tower within the hall."
Guide Yan Songg respectfully waved to the two from Lord Giant Sand division, maneuvering the flying ship towards a distant Giant Mountain, where a palace for clan soldiers’ rest lay above.
Upon entering the palace, Lord Giant Sand soon saw the Communication Tower, a small tower about a foot high, shimmering with witch light.
He instinctively plunged his divine sense into it, feeling its profound mystery, yet unable to grasp its powers.
Unable to articulate its might, simply sensing that he had never seen such Witch Patterns before.
"Clan Leader, does this thing transmit messages?"
Elder Giant Sand stared blankly at the Communication Witch Tower, in disbelief.
Throughout Yongyi, there isn’t a shortage of transmission methods, yet to use a Witch Artifact for transmission—let alone seeing, they had never heard of it.
"Try when the opportunity arises, then we’ll know."
As the leader, Lord Giant Sand was tempted to try but chose restraint.
Face matters.
...
"Esteemed seniors, this is Giant Wilderness Hall."
Lin Yue guided Lord Giant Wilderness and Lei Wanche to the Giant Wilderness Hall.
For hosting these visitors, Blazing Flame constructed over a thousand grand halls, none exceptionally luxurious, yet each adorned with Sun and Moon Mountains and Desolate Beast Patterns.
These palaces won’t go to waste after use, as more Bo Division martial artists may come to Blazing Flame in the future, these thousand palaces may not suffice.
On Lei Wanche’s shoulder, a palm-sized Cloud Thunder Wild Eagle glanced around with shimmering eyes as if sensing kin.
