Chapter 867: The Ancient Clan of Asgard (Part 2)
Gu Hanxu was very competent in taking on the position of the Qiling Master of Yanshan. During his tenure, there was no accident in the spirit-enlightenment ceremony. The red flame dragon turtle cubs that received the spirit can successfully activate their spiritual intelligence. Moreover, the cubs that were spiritual by his hands were far higher than other cubs who activate their spiritual intelligence in terms of cultivation qualifications, and soon became the backbone of the clan.
Using these young beasts as a link, a large number of people from the same clan quickly gathered around Gu Hanxu. When the upper class of Yanshan tribe noticed it, he had become one of the strongest forces in Yanshan tribe. At this time, the upper class of Yanshan tribe could no longer move any tricks on Gu Hanxu. If he did that, he would only split the Yanshan tribe.
A hundred years later, Gu Hanxu's power grew stronger and stronger, and he eventually became the strongest force in the Yanshan tribe. Then, naturally, he killed all opponents in the Ancestral Spirit Festival and became the patriarch of the Yanshan tribe.
Although Gu Hanxu only secretly learned some of the Taoist methods of Yuxu Palace when he was in Yuxu Palace, his talent was extraordinary. When he was in Yuxu Palace, he created a method suitable for the Red Flame Dragon Turtle clan based on these Taoist methods. After returning to the Yanshan tribe, he used his identity as a spiritual master to approach the ancestor spirit of the Yanshan tribe all year round, and communicated with the ancestor spirit's state of mind, and gradually integrated the power of the ancestor spirit into his method.
Speaking of which, based on the characteristics of this method, it should be classified as the inheritance method of the demon clan family and the wealthy clan, but this method is combined with the ancestor spirit, making the method carry a primitive demon clan aura, which is completely different from the current Immortal Palace monster magic.
Gu Hanxu was also a person who planned and then moved. After he created the method, he did not rush to take it out. Instead, he calmed down and spent more than two hundred years to improve it, and used the young beasts in the clan as an experiment. After testing the effect of this method, the final result was satisfactory, and then decided to promote this method within the clan. Therefore, after Gu Hanxu became the leader of the Yanshan tribe, he did not confront the hostile forces and enemies in his clans head-on, but instead made the method he created public in the name of change, which not only improved his prestige, but also gradually eroded and suppressed the forces of those enemies and enemies.
In promoting self-created methods, Gu Hanxu also spent a lot of effort. He did not forcefully promote it through his identity as a patriarch, but instead erected the stone tablet of the Yuxu Palace Mountain Gate, which had already been combined for life-making magic weapons, in the tribal dragon court, showing the method on it, making people see it and practice it themselves. Many people practiced this method only because of curiosity at the beginning, but after practicing, they felt that the effect of practicing this method was much more necessary than their original method, so they began to practice this method. As their reputation increased, more and more practitioners became the mainstream force of the Yanshan tribe, and outsiders also turned this force into a reformist faction.
Of course, there are conservative schools that are indispensable. The enemies and enemies led by elders and priests of the clan quickly gathered together and became a force outside Gu Hanxu. However, after Gu Hanxu served as the clan leader for thousands of years, this conservative school was already insignificant. They had no power to intervene in the clan affairs, and could only make a fuss on the ancestral spirit festival. Unfortunately, no matter how outstanding the clan members they jointly trained, Gu Hanxu would always be superior and steadily occupy the position of the clan leader.
Although the Yanshan tribe still maintains the style of the Ancient Immortal Palace tribe, the internal system has begun to move closer to the wealthy families, and the position of patriarch is almost hereditary. What is lacking is just a name that can be taken out and people will not be disgusted and convincing clan rules. Just want to change the rules, unless you completely abandon the tradition of the Ancient Immortal Palace demon clan, cancel the ancestral spirit sacrifice, and give up the ancestral spirit, any change of clan rules must be allowed by the ancestral spirit.
After becoming the leader of the clan, Gu Hanxu always wanted to intervene in the ancestral spirit festival and control the ancestral spirit festival in his hands. However, the ancestral spirit festival is not controlled by strong strength. The people who presided over the ancestral spirit festival are priests of the same lineage. They can communicate with the ancestral spirit through the special power contained in their bloodlines. From the blood sacrifice ceremony for the young beasts to the ancestral spirit festival that decides the ancestral spirit ancestors belonging to them, they must preside over it. These priests are the most conservative and stubborn forces in the entire Yanshan tribe. More than a thousand years have passed, and the ancestral spirit priests were like this and are still like this now. The power has not increased or been reduced. They have always been the most special group of people in the Yanshan tribe.
Since he could not start from the inside of the Ancestral Spirit Festival and control the Ancestral Spirit Festival, Gu Hanxu could only influence the Ancestral Spirit Festival from the outside. For example, on the grounds of reducing casualties among the clans, before every hundred years of Ancestral Spirit Festival, he would hold a tribe battle, first deciding the strongest people in the clan, and then reducing the number of people participating in the Ancestral Spirit Festival. Even if someone participates, he just finds some tribe members who have committed the death penalty, so that the Ancestral Spirit Festival completely changes its scent and gradually reduces the clans' respect for the Ancestral Spirit Festival.
After more than a thousand years of subtle influence, coupled with Gu Hanxu's own strength and prestige, the importance of the ancestral spirit sacrifice to the clan has been reduced to the extreme, and it can almost be said to be dispensable. If it weren't for the existence of tribal ancestral spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit, if it weren't for the existence of tribal ancestral spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit spirit, someone in the clan would have proposed to abolish the ancestral spirit sacrifice.
Just like this ancestral spirit festival, no one in the clan intends to participate in it and compete with Gu Hanxu for the clan leader. The conservative schools led by the elders and priests do not have strong enough people to shake Gu Hanxu's status, which ultimately forced them to modify the rules of the ancestral spirit festival for the first time and expand the candidates to the tribesmen who travel outside or leave the Yanshan tribe, hoping to use the hands of others to sacrifice Gu Hanxu.
On the northwest side of Baiyan Mountain, near the edge of the area under the jurisdiction of the Great Sage Temple, there is a three hundred-mile fire lake composed of lava. Although this is a place for gathering fire, there is no trace of fire spirit energy. Instead, the fire poison in the entire Baiyan Mountain vein is guided here by formations, forming an acquired fire seal here. The fire poison here is so strong that even if the immortal Huixu took a breath of the fire energy here, it would trigger the heart fire and burned to death. Therefore, the hundreds of miles around the Fire Lake are all misty in the human and beasts. As for the plants, there is only a very special fire vine that can grow safely here.
However, in this uninhabited place, a three-meter-high demon clan powerhouse stood on a rock protruding outward at the edge of the Fire Lake. The demon clan powerhouse had a dragon head and was wearing a piece of red armor. The scales on the armor were specially engraved with some low-grade fire gathering arrays. These magic arrays were not very good alone. Any sect force in the inner gate Lingshan would do this array. But when these low-grade fire gathering arrays were pieced together and connected with the purest Jade Qing array method, the power contained in this array will definitely not be inferior to any high-grade spiritual array.
In addition to this fire armor, the most eye-catching thing about the dragon orc human body is the twenty-three-layer tower-shaped treasure held up by the giant. This treasure looks very ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that the layers of tower bodies are actually turtle shells.
According to legend, every time the bloodline of the Red Flame Dragon Turtle is purified, it will remove a layer of turtle shell. Most Red Flame Dragon Turtles will save this layer of turtle shell. They do not use it themselves, but sell it to other demons in Xuanyuantian. Whether it is medicine or making treasures, this layer of turtle shell is the best-grade spiritual material. However, it is very rare for this Red Flame Dragon Turtle to stack the turtle shells he has faded into a natal magic weapon. What is even rare is that this Red Flame Dragon Turtle has actually lost twenty-three layers of turtle shells, which shows that the strength of this Red Flame Dragon Turtle has reached the level of half a step.
I saw this Yanshan tribe strongman standing on the edge of the protruding rock. There was a huge vortex in the blood lake in front of him. From the vortex, a large amount of fire spirit condensed around him swallowed and absorbed the vortex into the vortex.
The strong man from Yanshan tribe cast a spell to resist the powerful suction force in the vortex ahead, and said disdainfully: "Those old guys have been forced into a desperate situation by you, lord, and finally ran to the trap prepared by your lord for them. When he came down, he had heard that those old guys gathered all the people recruited this time to Chilong Peak. They should be preparing to teach the magic circle passed to them by the Tianchi Dragon Clan to these people, so that they can jointly deal with you in the ancestral spirit festival. They themselves violated the rules left by their ancestors and expanded the qualifications of clan members to participate in the ancestral spirit festival without authorization. The lord can take this opportunity..."
"It's not time yet." Before the other party could finish his words, a thick voice came from the bottom of the vortex, and he said anxiously: "You are confused! Although they have expanded their qualifications to participate in the Ancestral Spirit Festival this time, this cannot be considered a breaking of the clan rules. After all, those people are still from my Yanshan tribe, and they are just practicing outside for many years. If I use this as an excuse, I'm afraid they will bite them."
The person who spoke in the vortex of Fire Lake was the current patriarch of the Yanshan tribe. In order to further purify his natal bloodline and improve his cultivation, he went into seclusion here ten years ago. He had only been in seclusion for ten years, but he had not been able to achieve his expected goals. His cultivation had always stagnated. He was about to convene a grand ceremony in two days. If he could not break through at that time, he would have to be forced to leave the seclusion and die for ten years.
"What should I do now?" The strong man from Yanshan tribe did not care about Gu Hanxu's tone, but instead worried about his recent situation and asked with a frown.
