Gu Xiao coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. Then, he praised, “Well done. It’s good that you didn’t disappoint Lord Divine Tree.”

Bai Mingxuan was a little embarrassed by the praise. Then, he said another shocking piece of news.

“That’s because I’ve combined the nine techniques into one and created a new technique. The elders of the Divine Martial Sect said that I’m quite talented and want to take me in. I don’t dare to make any decisions on my own. Please make the decision, Lord Divine Tree.”

When Gu Xiao heard this, he immediately understood what Bai Mingxuan was thinking. The source of all of this originated from Gu Xiao, this Divine Tree.

That was why Bai Mingxuan had turned himself into Gu Xiao’s believer and disciple. It wasn’t hard to see a disciple joining two sects on this continent.

It was just that either the masters of the two families were very close, or this disciple was too talented. Wasn’t there another reason?

After entering the Divine Martial Sect, it was a rare opportunity to learn the cultivation techniques of the sect.

Moreover, the more Bai Mingxuan thrived outside, the more experience he would gain. Hence, Gu Xiao immediately comforted him.

“You don’t have to worry. Lord Divine Tree will not be happy. As long as you are still Lord Divine Tree’s believer, Lord Divine Tree will always bless you.”

When Bai Mingxuan heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to kowtow.

“No matter where I go in the future, I will never forget Lord Divine Tree’s kindness!”

…

Another ten years passed in a flash.

The village had already developed to a certain scale. With the advanced brick-making technology brought by Gu Xiao, a city wall had been built on the mountainside, encircling the entire mountainside. Without them opening the door, ordinary people could not go up the mountain.

In the past ten years, there were also many people who wanted to join the Divine Tree Village. Ling Yao’s control was very strict, and only a dozen people came in ten years.

Among these dozen people, four of them were very talented. There were three women and one man. Gu Xiao had taught them the Mortal-grade cultivation technique.

In the past ten years, Bai Mingxuan had not wasted Gu Xiao’s effort. He had been cultivating diligently. Moreover, he had secretly learned cultivation techniques from the Divine Martial Sect and passed them to Gu Xiao through the nonexistent Divine Envoys. There were dozens of Mortal-grade, a few Profound-grade, and even two Earth-grade.

There was no need to mention the dozens of anti-pole and a few profound cultivation techniques. Those two Earth-grade cultivation techniques were rare treasures.

One was called the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique, and the other was called the Dragon Roar Nine Heavens Sword Technique. These two local-level cultivation techniques did not differentiate between men and women. However, since there was a dragon and a phoenix, Gu Xiao still handed the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique to Ling Yao.

With the support of this Earth-grade cultivation technique, Ling Yao broke through the shackles that had trapped him for decades and reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The villagers also had many realms. After ten years, the child with the best talent had already reached the initial-stage Connate Realm.

The weakest of the remaining classes were at the mid-stage of the Postnatal realm. Now that the Divine Tree Village had left the city, it was much stronger than ordinary small sects.

The Divine Tree Village lived in seclusion on the mountain. Usually, it was aloof from worldly affairs and did not go down the mountain much. However, there was more than one village like the Divine Tree Village in the mountain.

The Divine Tree Village had a lot of resources. This was originally the vast Great Desolate. The place was wide, but without resources, the Divine Tree Village became the target of greed.

The leaders of the native tribes who had been on the mountain all year round and the village chiefs of the few villages at the foot of the mountain gathered at the foot of the Divine Tree Village.

“We can’t go on like this!” One of the village chiefs said while gritting his teeth.

“Since ancient times, no village has dared to occupy a mountain by themselves. Isn’t this going against everyone?” Another tribe leader said.

“I say, don’t say such things. Back then, we didn’t like this Divine Tree Village. You said that it’s not a problem for them to build a village on the mountainside. In fact, you’ve taken a fancy to that village chief and want to marry him as a concubine, right?” Another tribe leader said.

“Alright, alright. Everyone, stop arguing!”

The oldest village chief stood up.

“In any case, our Shi’an Village can’t take this lying down. As long as we can break through the Divine Tree Village, we’ll split the things. If you want that girl, Village Chief, you can bring her back. We have no objections.”

The leader who liked Ling Yao was unhappy when he heard that. He immediately said, “Why should we ask for something? I heard that the Divine Tree Village burned a lot of good bricks and a lot of paper. We should more or less get some points for these!”

When the village chief of Shi’an Village heard this, his eyes rolled around. You can take these dead things back. In any case, it’s the same for those who know these techniques.

“Alright, since everyone has agreed, we won’t hurt the harmony. What should we do? Tonight, we’ll fight our way into the Divine Tree Village!”

The few villages joined forces and selected about 300 to 400 people. They held torches and majestically went up the mountain, winding like fire dragons.

The villagers guarding the gate were standing on the city wall. When they saw a large group of people coming up from the foot of the mountain, they were shocked and quickly reported to the village chief.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yao frowned. Who was so bold as to come to the Divine Tree Village to cause trouble?

“I’ll go take a look!”

Ling Yao took a step out of the door and leaped up. Her movements were agile as she landed gracefully on the wall.

At this moment, the village chief of Shi’an Village had already blocked the gates of the Divine Tree Village with many villagers.

The village chief of Shi’an Village leaned on his walking stick and looked at Ling Yao on the wall with blurry eyes. He was also puzzled. This Divine Tree Village had been moved for more than ten years. Why didn’t their village chief change at all?

Ling Yao shouted loudly, “Do you people not want to live anymore? How dare you come and find trouble with the Divine Tree Village?”

The village chief of Shi’an Village chuckled when he heard that.

“Little girl, the waters on the nearby mountains are too deep for you to grasp. Since ancient times, no village has dared to occupy a whole mountain. If you know what’s good for you, dismantle these walls as soon as possible!”

Ling Yao snorted coldly after hearing that.

“Old man, don’t blame me for not reminding you. You guys aren’t enough to look down on me. If you dare to encircle the mountain, it means that I have strength. If you have the strength, I definitely won’t stop you.”

“I’m in a good mood today. I can give you a chance to turn around and leave. Otherwise, if I anger you later, none of you will be able to leave!”

The tribe leader at the side laughed loudly after hearing this. He did not take Ling Yao seriously at all.

“My little lady! You can’t beat us. If you know what’s good for you, open the door as soon as possible. I might marry you and make you the wife of the leader. I might even leave a few people alive for you! Otherwise, hahaha… Huh?”

Before the leader could finish speaking, a red light flashed in front of him. Ling Yao had appeared in front of him at some point and pointed at the leader’s forehead.

The leader’s head exploded on the spot.
