During this period, the cooperation between both sides increased, and they were gradually becoming familiar with each other.

In addition, there was General Lu, the deer, and two or three former members of the Wind Language Tribe among them.

In front of the hall, there was a map engraved on animal skin, centered on the headquarters of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe. The territories of the Iron Teeth Tribe and Blood Boiling Tribe were specially marked above. From the map, the Sacrificial Fire Tribe bordered the Blood Boiling Tribe, and further north was the territory of the Iron Teeth Tribe, forming a long-handled spoon shape.

"Elder Qi."

Cultivation is confidence, status is power, and Xia Rock Tiger was becoming increasingly accustomed to his role as the tribe leader, with his prestige growing. At this moment, he looked towards Qi Chuan and spoke first: "Lord Sacrificial Spirit, is there any directive?"

"No."

Qi Chuan sat alone: "After appearing last time, Lord Sacrificial Spirit went into seclusion again, leaving us to handle everything."

He mentioned this with admiration in his eyes: "When our tribe was weak, Lord Sacrificial Spirit guided us. Now that our tribe is growing stronger, he seems unwilling to influence our decisions."

The hall resonated with his voice, and everyone wore various expressions.

"Then achieving something significant to further strengthen the tribe would be the best reward for Lord Sacrificial Spirit!"

Xia Rock Tiger’s tone was firm as he turned back, placing his hand on the map: "Our tribe’s territory has increased significantly, but we’re also bordering more tribes, so we must prepare early for future events."

"There’s one urgent matter before us."

"Should we, or should we not, migrate?"

Migration.

The reason is simple; with the expansion of the territory, the current headquarters of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe is located in the south and cannot completely cover the entire region.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Chuan’s old voice was heard first.

"I do not agree with migration."

Everyone looked at him, the tribe’s Grand Elder, and Priest, who had a serious expression: "Our Sacrificial Fire Tribe was rebuilt from ruins, and every grass and tree in our current location is the effort of our tribe members."

"Moreover..."

"Lord Sacrificial Spirit’s dwelling is under that Heaven and Earth Divine Light."

"Those present here have been aided by Lord Sacrificial Spirit and have accessed this abnormal place. The divine light is extraordinary. The tribe could be relocated, but we cannot move this Heaven and Earth Divine Light."

He paused at this point.

Someone in the hall spoke: "Perhaps we could transform this place into a special sacrificial site for Lord Sacrificial Spirit to rest."

The suggestion brought all eyes upon the speaker, yet no one responded.

Under the scrutiny, the speaker quickly realized and said, "I was rash."

The Sacrificial Spirit is the true foundation of the tribe’s safety, and his suggestion was undoubtedly putting the cart before the horse.

"Leader."

At this moment, Sheng Fang spoke: "We can merge first, then disperse."

Upon hearing this.

Xia Rock Tiger looked at the leader of the Original Tu Yang Tribe and earnestly said, "Explain."

"The tribe has no need to migrate."

Sheng Fang stated his conclusion and quickly said, "For truly vast tribes or even nations, the residents’ settlements are not limited to just one place, but scattered throughout the territory."

He stepped to the map: "Here, this land under our feet can serve as the capital city of our Sacrificial Fire Tribe. During this time, we can use the former sites of those two tribes to establish other settlements."

"Currently, the integration of those two major tribes continues. Merging first will prevent any rebellious thoughts, and in the future, we can scatter, integrating the tribes further, and then occupy other places besides the capital."

Xia Rock Tiger nodded: "How will you ensure safety?"

"Our tribe has the Technique passed down by Lord Jin. As our tribe members continue to cultivate and grow, they can solve most problems."

"If there is indeed a great disaster..."

"With Lord Sacrificial Spirit’s methods, the location makes little difference."

He continued, "This is about the future anyway. We could try to learn methods like those of the Iron Teeth Tribe for taming fierce birds. Traveling in the future would then be greatly expedited."

He paused, briefly hesitating.

Xia Rock Tiger looked at him thoughtfully: "Sheng Fang, if you have more to say, just go ahead and speak."

"I have a rather bold idea."

Sheng Fang surveyed everyone in the hall: "Recently, I’ve learned about the neighboring tribes."

"Around us, there are numerous small tribes of about a thousand people. If everyone is willing, with the authority demonstrated by Lord Sacrificial Spirit, we could conquer them without bloodshed."

"Moreover, within the surrounding area, there’s just one tribe that’s relatively large and has proclaimed itself as a nation."

"After this merger, if everything proceeds smoothly and our tribe grows, in the future... our Sacrificial Fire Tribe can also be called a nation!"

"I am not a Priest, but I understand that becoming a nation and holding national sacrifices would greatly benefit Lord Sacrificial Spirit!"

He grew passionate as he spoke.

The tribe proclaiming itself as a nation!

The Tu Yang Tribe, hailing from the north and closer to the center of the Great Wilderness, had accessed more information and understood the power of a nation.

This notion was almost predestined when the tribe was founded, as only a truly extraordinary Sacrificial Spirit could protect a nation.

The Tu Yang Tribe of the past couldn’t achieve this; not even the Sheep Sacrificial Spirit Qi Mountain could accomplish it.

However...

Upon joining the Sacrificial Fire Tribe and witnessing the current Lord Sacrificial Spirit in action, Sheng Fang’s hope surged. In the presence of the divine dragon descending from the heavens, all problems seemed solvable.

As his voice faded, silence enveloped the hall.

After ten or so seconds of stillness, Xia Rock Tiger exhaled deeply and earnestly said, "This matter is of great significance and requires Lord Sacrificial Spirit’s approval."

"However..."

"There’s no issue with the merging and scattering as you mentioned."

Xia Rock Tiger made up his mind: "As the tribe develops, it needs a more advanced direction. Let this be the direction."

"Everyone..."

"Let’s begin the preparations!"

...

Heaven-Filling Dojo.

In the Soldier Realm, a vastness spread.

At its core stood the solitary figure of Qin Jin, eyes tightly shut.

His domain emerged around him; originally a calm state, but now... within it flowed the sharp intent of weaponry, incredibly cutting, with power constantly surging and accumulating intensely.

The previous domain was like a blank canvas, but now... Qin Jin had made the first stroke, elevating it to new heights.

From the First Volume to the Fourth Volume.

The Weapon Casting Record is the remarkable path left by the Martial God, yet Qin Jin began from scratch, and after cultivating to this day, he, too, has become incredibly extraordinary.

He’s traveled this path, supported by his own foundation and comprehension, progressing rapidly and currently cultivating to the Grandmaster Scroll, keeping pace with his personal progress.

Time passed.

At a certain moment, Qin Jin felt a stirring within and projected a sliver of his spirit into the Spirit Ruins while cultivating.

Ten Thousand Ancient Grotto Heaven!

After forming, this Fourth Grotto Heaven had been brewing its treasure skill continuously.

Now, within the Grotto Heaven, the Black and White Divine Tree shed flowing light, illuminating the entire grotto. In the shimmering light, the Grotto Heaven Treasure Skill fully formed and etched into Qin Jin’s mind.

[One Thought for Ten Thousand Ages]

[Ancient Treasure Skill]

He sensed the information, and after a brief scan, his expression became serious, as if witnessing something incredible.

Before he could delve further.

The formation of the Grotto Heaven Treasure Skill also caused the grotto to nourish itself. When combined with his constant cultivation of the [Weapon Casting Record], the two created a chain reaction, and around Qin Jin, the Primordial Power exuded, surrounding him closely.

Transformation!

This was a sign of transformation!

The Celestial Cyan Technique greatly supported martial arts. Initially, after opening the Ten Thousand Ancient Grotto Heaven, he didn’t experience any transformation, but now, with the creation of the treasure skill, he finally reached a peak, initiating a new transformation!

The seventh transformation!

This time, under Qin Jin’s perception, the Primordial Power no longer condensed into a cocoon.

Under the influence of Qin Jin’s sharp intent, those naturally formed protective Primordial Powers during transformation had turned into the shadows of weapons, varying in form, scattered across the surroundings, sometimes illusory, sometimes solid.

This was the impact brought by the [Weapon Casting Record].

Qin Jin was certain that if anyone attempted to intrude with malicious intent, these condensed weapons would automatically launch an attack.

The ancient soldiers surrounded on all sides, resembling a burial ground of soldiers.

Qin Jin.

In this transformation!
