Chapter 468: Chapter 191: Yunlan Fierce Beast, Profound Wind Tribe

The smallest tribes have only a hundred people.

These tribes live precariously, facing the threat of annihilation at any moment.

Above them are tribes of several hundred to a thousand people.

These tribes possess a certain degree of strength.

However, survival on the prairie is still difficult for them.

Further up are the Middle Level Tribes, with populations in the tens of thousands.

Tribes with tens of thousands of people, like the Profound Wind Tribe, are classified as medium-to-large.

They aren’t considered true large tribes yet.

Large tribes are those with at least one hundred thousand members.

And at the very top are the super tribes.

Super tribes boast populations of over a million. Across the entire Yunlan Prairie, there are only three such super tribes.

These super tribes are each presided over by a Martial Saint Level expert.

They are the kings who assist the Longevity Hall in its rule.

The Longevity Hall stands above all tribes. While not a nation in form, it wields power comparable to a Central Dynasty, with the authority to mobilize every tribe in Yunlan.

Even the super tribes must obey its commands.

The three super tribes, plus the Longevity Hall—their top-tier strength alone far surpasses that of the Liang Court.

After all, the Liang Court has not a single Martial Saint to its name.

If not for the three great Upper Sects upholding the righteous Dao and nominally assisting the Liang Court, the entire Liang Kingdom would have completely devolved into a haven for the Demon Evil Cult.

With the three great Upper Sects in place, there is at least nominal opposition.

To put it bluntly, it’s merely a nominal arrangement.

But the situation in Yunlan is different.

The Longevity Hall governs, and the three super tribes stand guard—this is their core strength.

As long as the Longevity Hall stands, Yunlan will not be overrun by Demons and Monsters.

Following Haji and Wulan into the Profound Wind Tribe, Fang Xing’s gaze was first drawn to a banner in the distant center of the encampment.

Emblazoned upon it was the totem of the Profound Wind Tribe.

According to Haji and Wulan, the Profound Wind Tribe had a five-hundred-year history.

It had grown from a small tribe of a hundred people to its current status as a medium-to-large tribe of tens of thousands, a journey of perseverance forged through blood and fire.

The totem represented the tribe’s faith.

A tribe’s faith cannot be extinguished.

For it to fall would mean the tribe’s destruction.

[A totem imbued with the worldly faith of mortals. Possesses some value. Reinforcement Cost: 10,000,000 points.]

As he looked at the banner, the reinforcement information appeared in his vision.

"A totem imbued with the worldly faith of mortals...’

’It seems it has already developed a spirit,"’ Fang Xing thought as he gazed at the totem banner.

A totem containing a spirit was much like a nation’s Destiny True Dragon.

However, the spirit within a totem was far from comparable to a nation’s Destiny True Dragon.

Forget matching a Destiny True Dragon; it fell far short of even a Destiny Flood Dragon.

They weren’t even in the same league.

It would need to be ten thousand times stronger to even come close.

"Well now, Haji, Wulan, you’re back! You must have had a good haul, eh?"

Just then, a voice called out, and a burly, rugged-faced, middle-aged man approached them.

"We did alright, Uncle Harry. We had a good hunt. We took down a Great Demon Fierce Beast."

Haji replied with a smile.

"Not bad at all," the middle-aged man said, nodding. His gaze then shifted to Fang Xing, who stood behind the pair.

His pupils contracted.

"Haji, Wulan, and who is this?"

The middle-aged man’s expression was grave as he looked at Fang Xing.

Haji introduced him. "Uncle Harry, this is my honored friend from the Liang Kingdom. His name is Fang Xing."

"A pleasure to meet you, Uncle Harry," Fang Xing said, nodding with a slight smile.

’It pays to follow local customs.’

Hearing Haji’s introduction, the middle-aged man, Harry, nodded. He gave Fang Xing a thumbs-up. "To have such profound strength at such a young age... Truly remarkable, my friend!"

"You flatter me," Fang Xing replied, maintaining a humble expression.

He could discern Harry’s cultivation with a single glance: Early Stage of True Gang.

For someone in the Profound Wind Tribe, such strength placed him in the upper echelons.

As he entered the tribe, Fang Xing had been observing his surroundings covertly.

Everyone in the tribe seemed incredibly strong.

There were hardly any ordinary people.

Even the weakest were at the Bright Force Level, with most being at the Dark Force or Neutralizing Force Level.

There weren’t many Martial Artists at the True Qi Realm...

...but they weren’t a rare sight either.

For a medium-to-large tribe of only a few tens of thousands to possess such strength was a real eye-opener for him.

He was gaining a much deeper understanding of the power of the tribes on the Yunlan Prairie.

"Uncle Harry, where are you headed?" Wulan asked.

"I almost forgot! The High Priest is about to begin the Holy Bath ceremony. I have to hurry over."

With that, Harry hastily quickened his pace and rushed off in another direction.

...

"The Holy Bath ceremony? What’s that?" Fang Xing asked curiously.

Wulan smiled at him. "It’s a unique ceremony we have here in Yunlan. We bathe newborns in the Holy Pool. The pool contains energy that causes a complete transformation, making them better suited for cultivation."

"They get that kind of treatment?!"

Hearing this, Fang Xing’s heart skipped a beat.

’No wonder I haven’t seen any ordinary people in the Profound Wind Tribe. So they’re modified right from birth.’

’Bathing in a Holy Pool... That sounded vaguely familiar.’

"The Imperial City’s Dragon Transformation Pool!"

Suddenly, Fang Xing remembered something.

He had once participated in a hunting competition in Jade Capital City and earned the opportunity to enter the Dragon Transformation Pool for a complete transformation.

This Holy Bath must work on the same principle.

However, it probably wasn’t as potent as the Dragon Transformation Pool. After all, a newborn couldn’t possibly withstand such immense energy; they would be overwhelmed and killed.

"That’s an incredible benefit," Fang Xing couldn’t help but remark.

"Brother Fang, don’t think all the Yunlan Tribes are like this," Haji said with a smile.

"Basically, only large tribes have such benefits."

"Our ancestors were fortunate enough to gain the recognition of the Longevity Hall and were granted a Holy Pool. Otherwise, we would never have such a benefit."

"I see..."

Realization dawned on Fang Xing.

’If every tribe was like this, Yunlan would be a terrifying force indeed.’

’That it was a benefit reserved for large tribes made sense.’

There weren’t many large tribes in all of Yunlan—only a few dozen in total.

They were considered top-tier powers.
