Chapter 182: Relocation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Heaven Ascension Stairs qualifications must not be missed!”
Looking at the dozen or so Black Feather Tribe members in the tent, Apelo said in a low voice.
The importance of the Heaven Ascension Stairs had already been reiterated countless times..
This thing was the only path to become a G.o.d!
And the significance of G.o.ds to a tribe needed no further explanation!
The large tribes that already had G.o.ds wanted more G.o.ds to ensure the longevity of their tribes.
As for small tribes without G.o.ds, they yearned to nurture a G.o.d in order to change their fate!
The Black Feather Tribe was currently under Hao Lie’s protection, and given Hao Lie’s temperament, he would surely safeguard the Black Feather Tribe and ensure the continuation of the Black Feather Tribe’s bloodline. However, how to safeguard and maintain it was not decided by the Black Feather Tribe but by Hao Lie!
In fact, it was common to see such small tribes sheltered by large tribes in the Black Mist Zone.
However, Apelo had only heard of small clans being wiped out every month and the clan members being scattered, never of a small tribe rising against the tide and dominating a region!
To put it bluntly, being dependent on others could only guarantee survival, not much else.
At this moment, Apelo, who had just lost his tribe, had no intention of accepting this fate. He hoped to lead his tribe to glory!
The only way was to obtain the Heaven Ascension Stairs qualifications.
But now, his request to Hao Lie for the Heaven Ascension Stairs qualifications had been rejected, leading Apelo to instantly think of another matter…
Twenty days away in the distance was another gathering place for tribulation transcenders – something he had never told Hao Lie.
At this point, he was even less likely to inform Hao Lie about it.
“We must rely on ourselves.”
Looking at the few members in the tribe, Apelo said.
Just as Apelo was about to say more, a voice suddenly sounded outside the tent.
Apelo walked out and saw Hao Lie’s personal guard.
The guard said, “The Black Feather Tribe members are to join the Third Legion immediately and head to the Blood Flame Swamp!”
After delivering the message, the guard turned around and left.
Such was the treatment of the va.s.sal tribes – they served as cannon fodder in times of war and laborers in times of peace.
After all, the Giant Tribe protected them, so they have to repay them, right?
Apelo did not feel angry at hearing this message; instead he was secretly delighted.
“To go to the Blood Flame Swamp, we have to pa.s.s through the Bear Mountain. The Bear Mountain is where those tribulation transcenders are.”
It was on the way.
“When the time comes, I’ll find an excuse to go out, and then wouldn’t the Heaven Ascension Stairs qualifications be within my grasp?”
His plan was not entirely wrong…
But little did he know that on that afternoon, the Nanxiang gathering place had already initiated its relocation plan.
Lu Ming was not among the first batch to leave.
As a result, he still slept in his home at night—but this was definitely his last night here.
On the 126th day of the Black Mist Calendar.
Night.
As soon as he lay on the bed, Lu Ming had already activated a new superpower: Void Realm!
The target was himself!
In a daze, Lu Ming felt his consciousness blur.for a moment. When he regained clarity, he found himself in that familiar pure white s.p.a.ce.
Unlike the last time when he fell victim to Hachima An’s ambush, Lu Ming, as the initiator and master of the Void Realm Technique, had a much deeper understanding of this skill this time!
“The basic Void Realm is not very effective when used on oneself… The pa.s.sage of time remains the same as in the outside world. The only effect is that it allows me to convert the time 1 used to sleep into practicing Source Power Skills or contemplating issues.”
Lu Ming was somewhat disappointed.
But he did not consider that this ability was not originally meant for personal use. It could be said that the nature of the Void Realm, a powerful ability, had changed somewhat in Lu Ming’s hands.
“However, the good news is that it won’t affect my rest and recovery here. Well, this is somewhat similar to the ancient games and novels 1 read before the apocalypse.”
In those games and novels, there was a concept of a holographic helmet or nutrition chamber that allowed players to rest and recover energy while playing games. Lu Ming’s current Void Realm had some similarities to those concepts.
After briefly summarizing the characteristics of this s.p.a.ce, Lu Ming did not want to waste any more time.
He activated the Soldier Transformation Technique and a long sword fell into Lu Ming’s hand.
Amidst the surging sword energy, the Atomic Sword Technique was already in motion!
“In the future, I can schedule my cultivation of offensive Source Power skills to be in this Void s.p.a.ce. This will also save me from causing too much commotion outside.”
As Lu Ming’s strength increased, the momentum of his full-force cultivation in the outside world was naturally noticeable. Cultivating a Source Power Skill would cause an astonishing commotion. However, in the Void s.p.a.ce, Lu Ming could make as much noise as he wanted without any consequences.
Eight hours later.
On the 127th day of the Black Mist Calendar, at 6.00 AM, Lu Ming woke up, refreshed and on time.
The relocation work in the Nanxiang gathering place had been ongoing since yesterday afternoon and had not stopped for the entire night.
But the migration of more than 100,000 people was already a c.u.mbersome process to begin with and had yet to be completed at this point.
Lu Ming even had the time to complete his daily exercise routine.
After lunch, many people had already left the Nanxiang gathering place.
Lu Ming, who had skipped his usual afternoon nap, wiped his mouth and left the restaurant with Zhang Chengcheng and Wei Lan, walking all the way to the entrance of the gathering place.
The three of them were carrying their packed belongings—but their luggage was minimal, mainly consisting of water and food.
This also meant that at this moment, Lu Ming was ready to leave this place where he had lived for over a hundred days.
Lu Ming walked out of the gathering place without looking back.
He did not feel much attachment towards this Nanxiang gathering place nor was he reluctant to leave this place as there was not much sense of belonging.
Among the three of them, there was no need to elaborate on Lu Ming’s strength. Cheng Cheng and Wei Lan had already reached the Awakening Mortal realm at Level nine and were working hard to cultivate body tempering techniques to break through to the Transcendent realm.
The three of them moved quickly, and in no time, they caught up with Huo Sheng, who was leading the way.
Seeing Lu Ming, the tired Huo Sheng managed a smile and quickly said.
“The Hundred Thousand Mountains are not far from us. It’s about a month’s journey. This is also to take care of the old, weak, women, and children in the rear. If experts move alone, their speed will be much faster.”
“So, my idea is that the Spirit Clan members, Colonel Bai, and other strong individuals will be responsible for clearing the way ahead and entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains to choose our foothold. 1 wonder if Brother Lu is interested in this matter?”
Lu Ming thought for a moment and nodded, “I’m very interested. I’ll go too.”
Previously, Huo Sheng had mentioned that he was prepared to split the main force into hundreds of small gathering places.
The smaller the target, the less danger it would attract.
Lu Ming had also promised to bring some people along.
Therefore, after entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Lu Ming would bring some people to establish their own foothold.
At this moment, he naturally wanted to head to the Hundred Thousand Mountains in advance to find a favorable location.
Constantly relocating would also have a huge impact on Lu Ming’s life. Since he had already decided to settle in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he would not be moving again in the short term.
Therefore, he naturally wanted to find a place that satisfied him.
Lu Ming felt that there was a necessity for him to personally take part in this matter..
