Chapter 41 The Tribes’ Gathering

One night, Ding Hao was lying on the ice bed in the igloo.

However, he didn’t sleep, nor did he meditate and rest. Instead, he revealed a thoughtful expression as he pondered about something.

He was holding Evil Moon in his arms while it was curled up and sleeping soundly. From time to time, there were sounds of chewing coming from its mouth, as if it was having a good dream.

“It has been almost a month since I came here. During these days, my strength and realm are still slowly declining and there is no way to stop it. Moreover, during the previous operations, every time I went out with Uncle Yang to kill the demonic beasts, there would be a sluggish feeling, as if there was something faintly suppressing me.

“Although this feeling was not very strong at the beginning, as time goes by, this feeling is getting stronger and stronger…

“According to what Evil Moon said, it seems to have the same feeling as me. That is to say, it’s not because of my realm, but because we are outsiders and don’t know much about this world, so we don’t know how to control the power here.

“That is to say, it likely is because the power of the rules in this world is different from that in the Heavenly Path world. Because of the difference, it is difficult to control the power here. It’s just like the difference between the Land of Infinity and the Land of Divine Grace in the past.

“However, the difference seems to be that the power of the rules of this Primordial World is more dignified and complete than that of the Heaven Path world. It’s also because of this that it’s not easy to activate and master the power!”

Now that Ding Hao had figured out the problem, he naturally had to think of a solution, so he also began to think about his own cultivation problem.

After a long time, when Ding Hao was thinking, his expression suddenly changed, and a light flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have thought of a way.

But then, he sighed slightly and thought to himself. “Okay, I’ll do it this way. But this is not the right place, and now is not the right time to implement it…”

A few more days passed.

One day, a person suddenly appeared outside the igloo.

It was Bo Zhao, the patriarch of the Barbarian Khan Tribe.

“What can I do for you, Patriarch?” After opening the door and seeing Bo Zhao, Ding Hao smiled warmly and led him to take a seat.

They took their seats and sat opposite each other.

Bo Zhan got straight to the point. “Brother Ding, I’m not going to beat around the bush. I’m here to ask if you’re interested in attending the gathering with me.”

“The gathering?” Ding Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Oh, by the way, I forgot that you haven’t recovered your memory, Brother Ding. I’m afraid you’ve forgotten about this gathering.” Bo Zhao patted his head and continued, “This gathering is actually the one held by the tribes within 85,000 kilometers.”

“A tribes’ gathering!” Ding Hao had an idea, and he immediately nodded and agreed. “Since you invited me so enthusiastically, I won’t refuse. Maybe it’ll be helpful for my memory if I go there.”

Bo Zhao nodded and said happily, “It’s great that you can agree…”

After chatting for a while, Bo Zhaoyi left Ding Hao’s room.

“The tribes’ gathering is held in the underground world. Well, this is a good opportunity…” With a little curiosity, Ding Hao finished his day.

Early the next morning, Ding Hao went out of the room with Evil Moon. After greeting some tribesmen of the Barbarian Khan Tribe, they came to the gathering place that Bo Zhao had mentioned.

At this moment, there was a group of 50 to 60 people in this place.

Besides the people, there were more than a dozen wooden carriages here. There were a lot of things tied to them, but most of them were materials of some demonic beasts.

Bo Zhao was standing in front of the line, constantly pointing at and commanding these people to do some things. But when he saw Ding Hao, he soon stopped, walked to him, and said with a smile, “Brother Ding, you’re here.”

“Patriarch Bo, are these things going to be delivered to the gathering?” Ding Hao asked with a smile and a nod.

“Yes, after we deliver these materials to the gathering, we will exchange them with other tribes,” Bo Zhao said. Then, he began to thank Ding Hao. “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to you that we can have these things…”

It turned out that more than half of these supplies could be collected because of Ding Hao.

The people of the Barbarian Khan Tribe were very fast. In a short while, more than a dozen carriages of supplies were tied up and began to be transported.

When the group set off, they formed a long lineup. However, compared to this world, their group still appeared extremely tiny.

After walking in the snow for a few days, Ding Hao finally saw a huge pit with a radius of tens of thousands of miles instead of the endless ice and snow.

This enormous pit was like a bottomless pit, with no end in sight.

“What a huge pit!”

Evil Moon saw the huge pit and immediately jumped up. It was very surprised and secretly transmitted a voice message to Ding Hao, “How did this pit come to be? Human Pet, are we going to enter it?”

Ding Hao was also a little surprised. After hearing Evil Moon’s words, he nodded and replied, “Yeah. According to what Patriarch Bo said, we are going to follow those stone stairs down.”

“Stone stairs?” Evil Moon blinked its big eyes. Following Ding Hao’s gaze, it immediately saw ancient and extremely wide stone stairs around the huge pit.

These stone stairs were of a circular shape and were thousands of feet wide. Even if the team of the Barbarian Khan Tribe went down together, they would not feel crowded at all.

“What are these stone stairs made of…” The team walked slowly under the surprised gaze of Evil Moon. When they came to the huge pit, they stepped up one after another and went down the ancient stone stairs.

Walking in the front of the crowd, Ding Hao looked around. According to his calculation of the location, he vaguely guessed that the pit might be part of the nose of the huge head planet.

After they went down for hundreds of thousands of meters, everything around them was still bright. Finally, they stopped going down and came to a huge strange space.

This strange space and the ice and snow world above it were like two completely different pieces of land. Not only did it not contain the slightest coldness, but it was also filled with vitality. One could not help but feel relaxed and happy upon arriving at this place.

There were flowers and trees everywhere, and it was green. If Ding Hao had not just come down the stone stairs, he would have thought that this was another world, not the Primordial World.

The area below the huge pit was bustling with activity. People were looking for transactions everywhere.

The entire street was filled with people. There were all sorts of items for trade placed on the ground, as well as some items for trade held in their hands. Only after a discussion with others would the transaction be completed. There were even people who directly built fixed shops here.

“This is the world underneath the sinkhole. Every year at this time, we will deliver a few resources here to trade with these people,” suddenly said Bo Zhao.

“I see. Patriarch Bo, there are so many people here. There must be some forces maintaining order, right?” Ding Hao asked.

Bo Zhao nodded and said, “Of course, there is a huge city nearby called Nine Spirits City. It is the location of a giant tribe.”

“A giant tribe…” After hearing this, Ding Hao fell silent. He no longer spoke, but his eyes flashed.

“Meow!” Evil Moon stood on Ding Hao’s shoulder and looked around curiously. Its big eyes flashed with surprise and confusion from time to time.

“Let’s go to the outskirts of the market outside the city to trade!” Bo Zhao whispered and called for everyone to start walking toward the Nine Spirits City.

Hearing this, Ding Hao was a little stunned and asked, “Patriarch Bo, why don’t we go into the Nine Spirits City to trade?”

Bo Zhao smiled wryly and explained, “Our Barbarian Khan Tribe’s comprehensive strength and numbers make us only a small tribe. Our status is very low compared to the other large tribes. How can we enter the Nine Spirits City…” At this point, a bitter expression appeared on his face, and there was even a trace of unwillingness.

…

Obviously, Bo Zhao had always held a grudge against the fact that his tribe was unable to enter the city because of its low status.

Hearing this, Ding Hao just nodded and did not ask any more questions.

The group of people walked slowly on a wide street. Many people seemed to recognize Bo Zhao and greeted him. When they saw the supplies they brought, they couldn’t help but be shocked.

Bo Zhao didn’t have a problem with these people’s reactions. He had been walking forward with a calm look, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes, which was indeed captured by Ding Hao.

The group walked for a full hour and passed by many people. Finally, they arrived outside the Nine Spirits City.

At the side of the city gate was an enormous boundary stele that was 15 meters tall, and there were three large words on it – Nine Spirits City.

The city walls were over 300 feet tall, and they were completely greyish-white in color. There were no gaps between the stone walls, and it was as if they had been naturally formed. From the outside, this enormous city looked like a greyish-white behemoth.

More than a dozen guards in black armor stood at the left and right of the city gate facing each other, looking steadily forward and guarding the city gate with an imposing manner.

What surprised Ding Hao was that these guards had all reached the five-apertured or six-apertured God Realm.

Ding Hao glanced at the guards and then at the giant city. Finally, he returned to the team with no expression on his face and thought. “These guards are in the God Realm. It seems that a small tribe like the Barbarian Khan Tribe can’t compare with the one in the Nine Spirits City!”

When Ding Hao and the others arrived, these guards remained expressionless. They just glanced at them and no longer looked at them. Instead, they stood guard very professionally.

…

Since Ding Hao came here, he had hardly seen anyone pass through the city gate and enter it. As Bo Zhao had said, it was not so easy to enter the city.

“Let’s go over there!” After taking a look at the Nine Spirits City, Bo Zhao withdrew his gaze, waved his hand, and walked to the left.

Ding Hao also followed the team to the peripheral trading area.

This was a flat land with a vast area. At the moment, there were a lot of people talking about something, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

Among these people, there were also wooden carriages similar to those of the Barbarian Khan Tribe. Of course, the numbers varied.

Those wooden carriages were also tied with all kinds of supplies.
