Carefree Path of Dreams

Chapter 355: Jiuli Division

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

There were many mountains in the South.

In the lush and sprawling primitive forests, there were numerous ancient and towering trees that formed a canopy which blocked out the sun. Colourful clouds enveloped the area too which was a beautiful sight to behold. However, it was actually a dangerous trap in disguise as they were actually poisonous miasma.

In such a harsh environment, even the people in the realm would find it hard to survive here. There was little life and even Xia could not exert his influence here.

At this point in time, in a huge mountain.

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"

Rows of people from the Jiuli Tribe gathered. Their eyes were burning with passion and their skin was tanned. The average tribe member here was about 8 feet tall and they were all like mini giants. They smeared colourful paint on their faces and shouted as they waved their weapons in the air.

In the centre, there was a huge platform surrounded by 4 red vibrant flags. The flag of their Army Leader, Chi, was flying in the air as though he was alive and roaring in the wind.

Flames were burning everywhere, leaving charred marks on the ground.

On the platform, two of the strongest witches were engaging in a deathmatch.

"Dong! Dong!"

One of them had ferocious eyes and wielded an axe in one hand and a shield in another. Every time their weapons met, a dull sound could be heard which shook the entire place.

"Bang!"

In another clash, the giant axe mercilessly shattered the bronze hammer the opponent was wielding. Not long after, his opponent was sliced in half.

"Splatter!"

Fresh blood spewed everywhere from the platform and started to glow brilliantly. Suddenly, it started to flow together, forming the shape of what seemed to be a snake. Finally, it slithered to the winner and imprinted inscriptions on his body.

"Roar! Roar!"

The witch roared loudly as the surrounding warriors knelt down, showing their submission.

"I am... Xing!!! I have already defeated 80 warriors from all the different tribes! From today onwards, I shall be the leader of Jiuli Division. Are there any objections?"

"Xing!"

"Xing!"

"Xing!"

Many warriors of Jiuli Division started to chant Xing’s name. "You are our leader. You shall lead us to get our revenge with Xia Tribe!"

Beneath the platform, there were a few priests clad in colourful robes. They exchanged glances and nodded their heads as well.

"Xing, you have passed through the ceremony to take over the leadership of the division. From today, Xing will be the leader of all of us here in Jiuli Division!"

Secretly, a few other priests were satisfied too. ’Through the ceremony, Xing’s body has gathered the purest bloodline from the entire Jiuli Division. He is at the peak of forming the Ultimate Witch Body and might even attract the soul of Army Leader Chi!’

’The Xia Tribe is merciless and have pushed us to our limits, forcing us to live in the mountains. Every year, countless of our people would die to the poisons and the ferocious beasts from the area. We need to avenge them!’

’We have 50,000 warriors in the division. We have also mined for minerals in the quarries and smelted weapons. Under the leadership of our new leader, we will surely succeed!’

As everyone was satisfied with their new leader, the atmosphere was energetic.

Amidst the fiery flames around, the flag of Army Leader Chi quickly caught fire. Black smoke filled the air, which seemed to form a ferocious looking face which was looking downwards...

...

"Is it true that Army Leader Chi’s soul is still around?"

Somewhere far, on the top of a hill, the onlooking Hidden Dragon Guard in the form of a 3 Eyed Monkey started to shiver in fear.

As the illusionary shadow of the face appeared for a brief moment, it was as though a strong magical will was felt, causing the demonic force in him to feel unstable.

"He is indeed the mighty Army Leader Chi, who was worthy to fight against the Sage before he had achieved the Prominent Divine stage!"

The 3 Eyed Monkey mumbled to itself as it started to kneel beneath a tree. "Head! Look..."

"Whoosh!"

The tree had many branches and leaves. As it shook, a pair of eyes appeared on one of its branches. A slit appeared beneath, which revealed wooden teeth. The tree instantly took the form of a human face.

Seeing this scene, it sighed. "This is not only his soul but the fate energy of his tribe as well!"

"Fate energy?"

The 3 Eyed Monkey looked confused. "He was defeated and his tribe was forced to suffer. What fate energy is there to talk about?"

"After all, this world revolves around the people dao..."

The face on the tree started to smile mysteriously. "Even against a Sage, these people would still have a chance of survival and would not be wiped out... Now that they are ready to strike back, this must be the doing of the heavens!"

The 3 Eyed Monkey seemed to have understood something.

Suddenly, it could also feel a mysterious but fleeting strong force blessing and strengthening the people of Jiuli Division.

"The Sage is, after all, an outsider. He is ultimately no match for the entire realm, especially against such a realm with a concentrated energy source!"

The face on the tree smiled once more. "Let’s follow the will of the heavens. You shall pay Xing a visit to represent the demons in forming an alliance with them. From there, you will be protected by his fate energy!"

"King Xia is the leader of all alliances. Do you think they do not hate him? As long as the Jiuli Division is ready to strike, they will be able to do so with the assistance of the water demons. From there, we will have a chance to kill him!"

"After such a long planning, we only have a chance?"

The 3 Eyed Monkey agreed and appeared a little helpless.

"It’s rather good to have a fifty-fifty chance. After all, this is the realm designed by the Sage! It will still be dependent on the restrictions imposed by Da Qian. The Realm Alliance would not be so crazy as to bring it a lot of reinforcements..."

The face on the tree calmly spoke. "However... Even if we lose, it will not matter. Head’s plan is much more than you can imagine..."

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the tree finished speaking, it shut its eyes and reverted back to a plain-looking tree, and had no more spiritual aura.

"That’s true too. Our leader already has many unbelievable plans, so I should expect even more from the Head!"

The 3 Eyed Monkey was lost in its thoughts. After a while, it started climbing and made its way to Jiuli Division.

"Who’s there?"

Two witch guards shouted as water-type and fire type runes appeared on their bodies. They mustered their magical energy and seemed as though they were going for the kill.

"I am a messenger from the demons!"

The 3 Eyed Monkey took in a deep breath and shouted. "I bring with me the goodwill of the demons and the latest news regarding Xia Country!"

...

Fang Mountain.

Many wooden houses were built on what was once an empty plot of land. In the middle of the buildings, there was a majestic mansion, which was Fang Yuan’s intention. It stood out among the other buildings.

In this era, he had no intention to be on an equal standing with the rest. As the lord of this place, he had the responsibility to protect his people. However, having the influence meant that he could enjoy everything that was on his piece of land, and he would be stupid if he had harboured thoughts of being equal with the rest.

In his newly-built city, the most eye-catching architecture was not Fang Yuan’s mansion, but a majestic looking altar in the centre of everything.

"We can make use of the people in these divisions, but we cannot rely on them... Most importantly, we have to strengthen ourselves!"

Fang Yuan brought Wei along with him as he patrolled in the vicinity.

"Firstly... we need to impose a hierarchy on the 100 slaves that were brought here. Their rights would be dependent on their ranks. As long as they work hard and show their contribution, they would be promoted from being slaves to being civilians, and might even be rewarded with women!"

As he casually spoke, he paid no attention to Wei, who was beside him. In this era, everything which he just said was perfectly normal.

"If there are a hundred slaves, we will need a hundred women..."

Indeed, Wei did not get angry. Instead, she thought of other considerations. "This means that we will need to get a lot of resources!"

"Don’t worry about it... What I want to buy most are children!"

Fang Yuan smiled.

"Children?"

Wei was a little confused. Old people, children and weak women were the people that would most likely die in this era. Therefore, people did not give any importance to them.

"That’s right. As a single person, the lord of this place, our power is too weak! Too weak!! Therefore, it is hard to stand firm here. Your previous recommendation to shift the entire Shangyang Tribe is impractical. Therefore, I want to buy children slaves and teach them to be loyal from a young age!"

Actually, it was practical to shift the entire tribe to his new piece of land. However, there were leaders and elders there. If they were to shift here, who would be the one making the decisions?

Fang Yuan would rather start anew and preferred not to be controlled by others.

"Once we have our own armed forces and base, we can form an organisation and slowly take over the 3 neighbouring divisions, allowing them to join our division... Although this might seem hard and impossible to be accomplished within a single generation, after many generations and reproduction, we will be able to form a new division in Fang Mountain. By then, we might be able to form a country..."

"Form a country? On a scale as large as the Xia Country?"

Wei’s eyes glistened with excitement.

"Mmm, as large as Xia Country!"

Fang Yuan nodded his head, "A unified division must have a unified mindset and culture. Therefore, I have constructed this altar, making this the religion of our division. We will have to build schools in the future. Anyone from anywhere will be allowed to come here to learn from the priests and warriors."

"What do we have to pray to?"

Wei examined the altar.

The altar was constructed from soil and was 30 feet wide and 10 feet tall. Considering the ability of the people in this era, this was an impressive feat.

"We should not pray to evil ghosts, and we shall not pray to the mountains and rivers. These are too small and unworthy for our division to pray to..."

As a person from a different realm, Fang Yuan could speak with confidence. "We shall pray to the heavens and the earth, that will be enough!"

The heavens were above and the earth was below. The people dao was between both entities.

"Lord!"

At this point in time, an old man in a priest outfit came forward. "Everything is ready!"

"Mmm, let’s commence the session!"

Fang Yuan nodded his head. The priests started to light fire torches and performed a mysterious-looking dance.

These few priests were actually new members of the tribe. Based on his current influence, he was still unable to convince priests to join him. This old man was similarly bought from the slave market.

Although he had invaded a division and enslaved everyone, the priests and leaders were treated differently.

They were old people and would be killed.

However, this old man had concealed himself. Furthermore, he was not a real priest but merely at the disciple level. Therefore, he had escaped death, but not Fang Yuan’s eyes.

After buying him, Fang Yuan forced him into submission and turned him into his puppet.

As the leader of a place, how could Fang Yuan not have control over the religious aspect of the divisions?
