Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2638: Chapter 66: Great Chief

The main settlement of the Danque Tribe is built in a basin at the very center of the Great Danque Mountain Range, relying on the terrain, surrounded by mountains, rugged red rocks, easy to defend and hard to attack. From a distance, it looks like a fiery red castle, truly magnificent.

The main settlement of the Danque Tribe enforces strict prohibitions, allowing no outsiders to enter.

But Mo Hua, this ”outsider,” was given an exception today.

Dan Zhu, the genius young master of the Danque Tribe, personally invited and escorted Mo Hua, this Mr. Witch who worships the ”Divine Lord,” into the main settlement of the Danque Tribe.

With Dan Zhu leading the way, the journey was smooth.

Common cultivators from the tribe did not dare to stop Dan Zhu, the extraordinarily gifted young master who is beloved by the people.

Indeed, along the way, people continually greeted Dan Zhu with respect and pledged their loyalty.

The group kept moving forward, and after a while, Mo Hua looked up.

There he saw a gate shaped like a Vermilion Bird, spanning between the mountains. Below the gate was a long, scorching hot staircase stretching into the distance.

On both sides of the long street were campsites, each bearing different types of totems and architecture in red bird styles.

Ancient, grand, with a hint of the barbaric wilderness, yet looking quite elegant and dignified.

Entirely different from those backward tribes Mo Hua had seen before.

As Mo Hua gazed at the gate shaped like a Vermilion Bird, he couldn’t help but wonder:

”I wonder if there’s a real Divine Beast Vermilion Bird or Vermilion Bird Divine Soul in the Danque Tribe...”

He slightly sensed around and indeed detected some kind of intense ancient Divine Soul power but couldn’t determine if it’s truly the Divine Beast ”Vermilion Bird.”

Mo Hua did not dare to continue probing; this was a third-grade major tribe with Great Wilderness inheritance; not a place he can act recklessly just yet.

Mo Hua retracted his Divine Sense, restrained his presence, and followed Dan Zhu to the young master’s palace of the Danque Tribe.

A palace not too luxurious but extremely elegant, even filled with a clean aura of the Barbarian Tribes.

This was constructed personally by the Great Chief of the Danque Tribe for his most beloved youngest son.

The palace was named after ”Dan Zhu.”

Dan Zhu warmly and politely welcomed Mr. Witch Mo Hua into his palace.

Dan Zhu’s two guardian elders followed behind, their expressions vigilant, even internally feeling at times that their young master was ”bringing a wolf into the fold.”

Along the way, they secretly advised Dan Zhu many times.

This enigmatic ”Mr. Witch,” of unknown origin, should not engage too deeply until his background is fully investigated, better not to bring into the main settlement to avoid calamity.

Yet this young master, originally very gentle and receptive to advice, stubbornly insisted on befriending this Mr. Witch despite all their words.

This matter seemed downright peculiar.

Thus, in their eyes, Mo Hua, with a serene demeanor, appearing sacred and devout, was no less than a ”Demon Path” adept at bewitching hearts.

The young master, Dan Zhu, must be bewitched by him.

The two Golden Core guards eyed Mo Hua unkindly, even faintly hostile.

Mo Hua ignored this.

After traveling for three days, Mo Hua roughly understood some details about the two Golden Core elders.

The large Golden Core was named ”Ba Shan.”

Beside him, the ordinary-looking, steady, low-profile Golden Core elder was named ”Bachuan.”

”Ba Shan” implies towering mountains.

”Bachuan” implies protective rivers.

These names are not their original names.

They aren’t direct lineage of the Danque Tribe but were carefully selected by the Great Chief from subordinate tribes as warriors.

The Great Chief specially bestowed these names upon them, hoping they would guard the young master Dan Zhu like mighty mountains and stable rivers.

Since Dan Zhu’s childhood, they’ve been his guardians, sharing his glory, obeying only Dan Zhu’s command.

Mo Hua only needs to ”deceive” Dan Zhu, and these two Golden Core guards can’t do anything about him.

...

Dan Zhu arranged for Mo Hua to stay in a room reserved for ”distinguished guests.”

The room’s décor was a camp with dancing birds, safe, tranquil, and very warm.

Mo Hua had visited many factions and stayed in numerous guest rooms, but the one arranged by Dan Zhu was still the most distinctive in style, the most memorable, the most spacious, and the most comfortable to dwell in.

Mo Hua was very satisfied.

Dan Zhu glanced at the serene and composed Mo Hua, exuding an air of poised calm and accommodating every circumstance, his heart stirred slightly.

Throughout this journey, the contact with Mo Hua made Dan Zhu deeply feel Mo Hua’s speech and demeanor were noble, extraordinary.

Yet occasionally, a touch of pure youthful spirit seemed slightly discordant.

This often made Dan Zhu suspect this ”Mr. Witch” might be younger than himself.

But he quickly dismissed the thought.

If he were younger, he certainly couldn’t possess such a refined demeanor.

Surely, he has experienced much, maintaining a pure heart and devout faith, hence achieving the mindset akin to a ”return to innocence.”

But there’s still one thing...

Dan Zhu glanced again at Mo Hua.

Initially meeting wasn’t particularly certain.

But after traveling together, he could ascertain this ”Mr. Witch” indeed only had Foundation Building cultivation.

Why, after going through so much, cultivating for so long, is his cultivation only at ”Foundation Building?”

Dan Zhu didn’t quite understand.

He himself formed a core at twenty.

Is forming a core really that hard?
