2005 Tribe Chief 2
Wu Zimo’s hands trembled slightly, revealing his underlying excitement. He had finally obtained it, the object they had been striving to acquire. Now he could present it to Master.
“Thank you, Elder,” Wu Zimo expressed his gratitude.
The Elder reminded him, “Tribe Chief, acquiring these items means you have taken on the future responsibility of the Bai Clan.”
Wu Zimo nodded, fully comprehending the significance of his actions.
“The official ceremony is still being prepared. Tribe Chief, take the next two days to rest. Once the ceremony is over, the Bai Clan will be under your leadership.”
“Yes, Elder,” Wu Zimo replied with determination.
The Elder smiled kindly and gave his approval. With the acquired items in hand, Wu Zimo left the residence of the Tribe Chief.
Stepping out from there, Wu Zimo embraced his new identity. The Bai clansmen passing by greeted him with reverence, some even offering a slight bow.
With a sense of pride, Wu Zimo raised his head and expanded his chest, basking in the acknowledgment he received.
However, his excitement reached its peak when Gu Chaoyan approached him. In a low voice, he couldn’t contain his joy as he said, “Master, we’ve obtained it. Let’s return.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded in affirmation.
The group made their way back to the courtyard. With the acquired barrier in their possession, Gu Chaoyan could now study it thoroughly and swiftly resolve the predicament faced by the Saint Divine Land. In fact, she could even address the challenges confronting the other three nations.
Gu Chaoyan, who had maintained her composure since arriving at the Bai Clan, couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. She nodded at Wu Zimo, indicating her readiness.
The group walked back to their destination without any disturbances along the way.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Wu Zimo handed the item directly to Gu Chaoyan. It was a box containing the eye of the barrier. As the box was opened, the brilliant holy light emitted from within was dazzling, causing even Wu Zimo to instinctively close his eyes.
Although Gu Chaoyan was more adept in handling such situations, she too blinked in response to the intensity of the light.
In essence, the barrier was an intricate array formation, and its functioning relied on the array core—the array eye. Possessing the array eye meant that one could directly control and utilize the array formation in the future. This knowledge was gleaned by Gu Chaoyan through her perusal of various books in the study during her stay.
Because of her understanding, she could grasp how the barrier was dismantled by studying the array core. Numerous insights flooded her mind as she observed the intricate details.
Looking up at Wu Zimo with a serious expression, Gu Chaoyan inquired, “When is the Tribe Chief set to assume leadership?”
“The Elders in the clan mentioned a timeframe of two days,” Wu Zimo replied honestly, unsure why his Master was asking but willing to provide accurate information.
Gu Chaoyan nodded, processing the information.
She then turned to Lingyun and instructed, “Inform the clan on Zimo’s behalf that he is currently in the process of breaking through. We will hold the succession ceremony once he completes his breakthrough.”
“Sword One, remain outside the courtyard,” Gu Chaoyan instructed.
After assigning the roles, she turned her attention to Hong Fang, Fu Huarong, Wu Zimo, and Wu Ziming. With a determined expression, she said, “The four of you, join me in studying this array eye and learn how to construct barrier arrays.”
The four individuals exchanged glances, realizing the importance of this knowledge in their future endeavors.
“If any dangerous situations arise, the barrier formation can aid in your escape,” Gu Chaoyan emphasized, her tone grave.
The group of four nodded in agreement, acknowledging that their Master needed to teach them this vital skill.
“Yes, Master!” they replied in unison, their voices filled with determination.
Gu Chaoyan nodded approvingly.
And so, their study and training began…
