Chapter 61: Conquering the Green Grass Tribe
More than a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
After spending around four months in total, Yi Chen finally concluded his understanding of the power of the laws.
With his strong talent, he had not fully grasped those easily comprehensible laws, but he had developed a general understanding and awareness.
With this understanding, he was nearly at the level where he could create a set of spell-like skills.
Next, he needed to devise an appropriate pathway of energy circulation.
Moreover, this pathway of energy circulation must be applicable to various types of spells.
It should be able to enhance the power of skills involving metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
……
"Ah, is this the end of his comprehension, and the start of his research on the energy circulation pathways?"
The audience in the live room quickly noticed through the scanner’s data that spirit power was starting to flow into some acupuncture points in Yi Chen’s meridians.
"It’s been four months; he has finally finished his comprehension!"
"Calculating this, it will still take about four more months to create a new skill. In total, that amounts to a staggering eight months."
Someone couldn’t help but exclaim, "In the Qi Condensation Stage, creating a new skill only takes one month. In the Spirit Release Stage, it doubles to two months."
"And now, after breaking through to the Spirit Law Stage, creating a new skill will probably take around eight months. That’s four times longer than the Spirit Release Stage."
"Based on this reasoning, if Yi Chen breaks through to the next level, creating a new skill might take sixteen times as long as now. That’s 128 months—over ten years!"
"It might even be longer; he could reach the limit and be unable to create new skills at all."
"What a pity! This time, Yi Chen did not surprise anyone and was even predicted by those expert scholars."
Everyone in the live room felt somewhat downcast.
If Yi Chen were to break through to the next level, creating new skills could take over ten years, or even reach the upper limit where no new skills could be created.
This meant that humanity’s era of learning from him was coming to an end.
"There’s no need for too much disappointment; personal talent will eventually reach its limit, which we had anticipated long ago."
"Fortunately, Yi Chen has already pushed this cultivation method to an extremely high level."
"At the very least, after he reaches the next level, he can still improve the Chaos Technique suitable for the next realm."
"This way, it’s as if we can break through to the next next level. At the Spirit Law Stage, the lifespan cap reaches five hundred years. In the next realm, it could reach a thousand years. And in the following realm, perhaps two thousand years."
"Our humanity stands out among the Various Races for its extraordinary creativity and inheritance ability. Not to mention two thousand years, even a thousand years can produce countless astonishing talents."
"These incredible talents will surely be able to gradually enhance this cultivation method based on Yi Chen’s foundation."
"There’s no feast that doesn’t come to an end. After learning from Yi Chen for so long, I’ve grown accustomed to watching his live streams whenever I have time. Just thinking about the day when Yi Chen reaches his talent limit, and there’s no need to watch the live streams anymore, truly fills me with melancholy."
Many sentimental viewers reflected on how life is often filled with many helpless situations.
When the day comes for Yi Chen to reach his talent limit and can no longer create new skills, perhaps the show will still exist, and they could drop by to watch. However, it would certainly not be as lively as it is now.
Furthermore, with people changing, their mindsets would undoubtedly be different.
Perhaps by that time, Yi Chen’s great ambitions would have been completely extinguished, lost in indulgence and unable to extricate himself, resembling a fallen hero and a withered talent.
Watching would only increase the sadness; it was better not to watch and to leave behind a perfect memory.
……
Knock, knock!
While Yi Chen was fully focused on guiding his spirit power into various acupuncture points, a gentle knocking sounded at the door.
Squeak!
The Little Gold Ball jumped up excitedly.
It hurried to open the door.
The door creaked open.
Standing outside was the anxious high priest.
At first, the high priest had no psychological burden in visiting Yi Chen.
However, ever since Hai Lan had been severely punished for disturbing Yi Chen’s training, he had grown a little fearful.
He worried that misfortune might strike if he approached Yi Chen when he was in a bad mood. Even if he had something to report, it could provoke Yi Chen’s anger.
"What’s the matter?"
Yi Chen asked calmly.
In truth, he was feeling quite irritable.
After four straight months of being cooped up in his room contemplating the power of the laws, and then spending over ten days fully focused on testing the changes in the spirit power circulation pathways, he found it overwhelming, even for his strong will.
However, he did not have a habit of venting his frustration on others.
"Reporting to the tribe leader, Zong Shan’s people sent news that they discovered a tribe with more than 1,800 members called the Green Grass Tribe on a vast grassland. Using their powerful strength to intimidate, they successfully made the people of this tribe surrender to our Flame Mountain Tribe."
The high priest cautiously observed Yi Chen’s expression, trying to gauge his mood.
"That’s wonderful!"
Yi Chen exclaimed with surprise.
He had finally found the second human tribe.
Although it was the Green Grass Tribe that he already knew about, it was still very good news.
As his influence expanded, his biggest concern was that the human population in this world was too scarce.
This meant that the base number of humans was extremely low.
No matter how much he promoted reproduction, it could still take several hundred or even a thousand years to increase the population significantly.
Fortunately, although his influence had reached 1.1 million square kilometers, he had managed to find the second tribe.
With over 1,800 tribe members, the numbers of the Flame Mountain Tribe would double.
Before long, the army of the Flame Mountain Tribe that battles outside would easily also double in size.
……
"Why is Yi Chen so happy about finding a new tribe? As a ruler, he has never enjoyed any of the powers a ruler should have."
In the live room, a viewer couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
"The Green Grass Tribe, remember, it’s the Green Grass Tribe."
Someone quickly reminded him: "Don’t forget, Yi Chen also comes from the Green Grass Tribe. Moreover, he was expelled from the Green Grass Tribe for being too weak and unable to hunt, only to wander to the Flame Mountain range."
"I’d truly forgotten. No wonder Yi Chen is so happy."
"Now I get to enjoy the show; once you ignored me, but now I’m out of your league. This probably reflects Yi Chen’s current mindset."
The viewers quickly became excited.
"I’m looking forward to seeing how the people of the Green Grass Tribe react when they discover that the leader of the Flame Mountain Tribe is Yi Chen, the one they once expelled."
"Yi Chen must have changed a lot since then, right? At least he’s not weak anymore and has a powerful presence. The people of the Green Grass Tribe might not even recognize Yi Chen now."
"The people of the Green Grass Tribe certainly won’t recognize Yi Chen. But Yi Chen can reveal his identity!"
One viewer remarked: "Knowing Yi Chen’s character, he’s definitely going to take revenge on the Green Grass Tribe. I just wonder if he’ll wipe out the entire tribe."
"That shouldn’t happen. Given Yi Chen’s attitude towards the people of the Flame Mountain Tribe and the command he gave to the four main leaders not to kill anyone when meeting other tribes, he doesn’t seem to be someone who enjoys killing."
"However, he’s sure to scare them a little. If I were him, I would reveal my identity and then leave in a rage, letting the people of the Green Grass Tribe live in fear."
"That’s a great idea. The more timid ones would likely be scared out of their wits."
The viewers in the live room chatted more and more excitedly.
