Early the next morning!
Inside the tribal cave.
Tie Xi and Er Gou returned with the others.
“Chieftain, we have scouted the area.
There is a suitable place for us to take shelter within the Frost Dragon King’s territory,” Tie Xi said with a pleased expression.
“Is that so?” the Ancient Rhinoceros Chieftain asked, frowning.
“Yes.
That place was likely once the territory of a powerful Soul Beast, but now only a massive cave remains,” Er Gou nodded.
He and Tie Xi had gone to the Frost Dragon King’s domain yesterday to search for a habitable location.
They quickly discovered the new cave.
The cave was enormous, large enough to accommodate over a hundred people.
The only issue was that there were still some small Hundred-Year Soul Beasts inside.
The two of them spent some time yesterday cleaning up the cave, and all those small Soul Beasts were frozen solid by them.
After Tie Xi and Er Gou explained the process of discovering the cave and confirming that there were no powerful Soul Beasts inside, both the Ancient Rhinoceros and Old Crippled Dog were overjoyed, revealing their yellowed teeth.
“Good!
In that case, the two of you will lead the team and take all the women and children from both tribes there.
Can you handle it?” The Ancient Rhinoceros and Old Crippled Dog looked at Tie Xi and Er Gou with gleaming eyes as they asked.
“Yes!” “We can do it!” With Tie Xi and Er Gou’s agreement, hearty laughter soon echoed through the cave.
Deep inside the cave, Chen Yu, who had already gotten up early to cultivate, overheard their conversation and finally felt at ease.
Yesterday, when the tribe mentioned moving to the Frost Dragon King’s territory, he was extremely reluctant.
In his view, going to the Frost Dragon King’s domain was worse than fighting the Spirit Masters trying to seize their territory.
At least those Spirit Masters wouldn’t be as powerful as the Frost Dragon King and might even have some weaknesses.
For example, those Spirit Masters had families with them, including weaker women and children.
Although it felt immoral to think this way, since Chen Yu and the others were life-and-death enemies with them, who would care about their children and women?
Now, hearing that there was a safe place within the Frost Dragon King’s territory, Chen Yu felt relieved.
A cave inhabited by small Hundred-Year Soul Beasts indicated that there were no other powerful Soul Beasts nearby and that the cave was secure enough.
Otherwise, the small Soul Beasts inside would have just been food for other beasts.
With that, Chen Yu wasn’t entirely opposed to going there.
Soon after, the chieftains of the two tribes arranged the first group of people to head to the new cave.
Chen Yu, Xiang Cai, and Shi Hu happened to be in the first batch.
Besides them, there were other children around Chen Yu’s age, as well as some women carrying infants or children who couldn’t walk on their own.
Among them was Er Gou’s wife, who had just given birth, and their child—the same ones Chen Yu had seen when he visited the Snow Mastiff Tribe.
Chen Yu was somewhat surprised.
To embark on a long journey to the Frost Dragon King’s territory so soon after giving birth—was this how women in the tribe lived?
It was truly pitiful!
Fortunately, Er Gou’s wife had consumed Centennial Cordyceps to replenish her health.
Otherwise, Chen Yu couldn’t imagine what would happen afterward.
Soon, with Tie Xi and Er Gou, the two strongest members of the tribe, escorting Chen Yu and the others, the group set off together toward the new cave.
Along the way, everyone remained extremely quiet, afraid of drawing the attention of other Soul Beasts.
… At the same time.
On the Douluo Continent, twenty thousand years later.
The Heavenly Screen Live Stream opened once again, displaying none other than Chen Yu and the others making their way to the new cave.
“What happened!” “Are Chen Yu and the others migrating again?” “Wait, who are those people?” “They seem to be from the Snow Mastiff Tribe from before!” “Are the two tribes cooperating?” “Damn, doesn’t that mean Chen Yu and the others are facing danger?” “After all, the relationship between the two tribes wasn’t that good before.” In the live stream, some Spirit Masters exchanged their views.
Everyone was shocked by Chen Yu’s actions.
“Actually, this is normal.
If our two great empires were to unite one day, it would definitely be because of a greater danger!” A Spirit Master from the Heaven Dou Empire said matter-of-factly.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of those from the Spirit Hall turned grim.
Although the Spirit Hall had not yet revealed its ambition to unify the continent, unifying the continent was an inevitable goal.
In other words, the Spirit Hall would eventually have to face all the Spirit Masters of the two great empires.
For a moment, the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall, including some elders and deacons, fell silent.
Although, given the Spirit Hall’s strength, it should be possible to sweep through both empires.
But the Spirit Hall did not want to suffer too many losses among its own ranks.
So they still needed a better plan, requiring Qian Renxue to complete the usurpation of the empire.
At the same time.
In the Heavenly Screen Live Stream, Chen Yu and the others made their way to the new cave.
Along the journey, Chen Yu displayed abilities completely different from the others.
“Look, Chen Yu and the others are heading toward the Soul Beast Forest!” “It really is.
Before, they only avoided the Beast Tide but never entered the Soul Beast Forest!” “The Soul Beast Forest—what kind of threat could they have encountered to make these women and children venture into such a dangerous place?” “After all, in the Soul Beast Forest, even Spirit Masters must proceed with caution.
How could they possibly bring so many defenseless people?” “Brothers, look!
There’s something off about this kid Chen Yu!
The footprints he leaves in the snow are very shallow!” Suddenly, an observant Spirit Master noticed something unusual about Chen Yu.
“Shallow?
Isn’t that just because he’s a child?” A Spirit Master instinctively retorted, but the next second, these Spirit Masters saw that Chen Yu’s footprints were far shallower and more precise than those of the other children.
Everyone was astonished.
“It really is!
Look, Chen Yu’s footprints are all the same.
He didn’t even step on the ground—it’s as if he’s standing on the snow!” “The other children all stepped into the snow, touching the mud, stones, and so on.” This time, more people noticed, and everyone realized Chen Yu’s uniqueness.
The footprints left by the others mostly had black mud mixed in, while only Chen Yu’s footprints were pure white.
This indicated that Chen Yu had never stepped on the mud.
“Could this be another Cultivation Technique!?” In the Heavenly Screen Live Stream, a Spirit Master voiced the question.
“Could Spirit Masters from ancient times really develop such cultivation techniques?
Why can’t we do the same?” Immediately, more Spirit Masters began to voice their doubts.
Since yesterday, the situation across the entire Douluo Continent had grown chaotic, yet on the surface, nothing seemed to have changed.
Everyone continued their cultivation as usual, and those who watched the Heavenly Screen Live Stream kept watching.
Meanwhile.
The Shrek group, on their way to the Star Dou Great Forest, had just resupplied in a small town at the forest’s edge.
They were now watching the Heavenly Screen Live Stream from a hotel.
At this moment, Tang San watched Chen Yu’s footwork with a sinking heart.
This was already a basic footwork technique, even a lightness skill.
Would Chen Yu release this to the public next?
Tang San’s expression darkened.
Though he was confident that his Tang Sect Techniques, especially Phantom Trace, far surpassed the footwork Chen Yu had created, he didn’t want his advantages to keep dwindling.
However, this time, Tang San’s guess was spot on.
If Chen Yu had even shared the Ice Heart Formula yesterday, why would he hold back from spreading something as simple as tree climbing and water treading now?
