Three Fire Leaving Stones. That was something the entire Flame Horn Clan could not tolerate losing, let alone the Lie Ban Tribe.
There was no reason to continue with this negotiation. The Lie Ban Tribe would not compromise.
“I am aware that the Fire Leaving Stones are very precious. Please be assured that I am willing to exchange something for them with you. I will certainly not just take them. How about it?” Mo Wen said.
Fire Leaving Stones could help cultivators that cultivated the esoteric rule for fire to break through to the Tide Changing Realm. They were rare absolute treasures. Mo Wen couldn’t procure an item of equal value to exchange with the Lie Ban Tribe because he did not have the wealth to do so. However, he could take out treasures that the preliminary ancient land did not have.
“No matter how precious other treasures are, they will never be as precious as the Fire Leaving Stones are to our Flame Horn Clan. Apologies, but our Lie Ban Tribe cannot fulfill your request, sir,” Halina said coldly. Any member of the Flame Horn Clan would not allow a Fire Leaving Stone to be taken by members of outsider clans.
“Then there is no room for discussion.”
Mo Wen slowly took off his bamboo hat and revealed his human face. He gazed indifferently at the few members of the Flame Horn Clan before him.
“Human! You are actually a human!”
“What? A human preliminary cultivator?”
…
Cries of surprise sounded in their surroundings. No one had expected that this mysterious person was actually a human preliminary cultivator. The people who lived in the preliminary ancient land were familiar with humans. Everyone knew about them because humans would appear after a certain period of time in the ancient land. They were the greatest enemies of the living creatures in the ancient land.
“You are actually a human preliminary cultivator. D*mn it!”
Halina’s expression was extremely ugly. It was as though he had been bitten by a poisonous snake. His eyes were full of fear, unease, and hatred. Human preliminary cultivators were living creatures that could disobey the laws of the ancient land. They came and went as they pleased. They could leave the ancient land at any time and were protected by the power of the laws of the ancient land.
As long as they had sufficient ability to do so, they could act completely as they pleased in the ancient land without fear of repercussions. If they had sufficient ability, they could even slaughter the entire Flame Horn Clan and not worry about consequences that they could not afford to shoulder. It would be easy to steal a few Fire Leaving Stones.
Of course, they could do all this in theory, but in reality, the humans that entered the ancient land had weak cultivation. It was difficult for them even if they behaved themselves. Who would dare come to steal something with such fanfare?
How long had it been since such a frightening preliminary cultivator had appeared in the preliminary ancient land?
Halina secretly despaired their predicament. He did not need to concern himself with ordinary human preliminary cultivators; he could simply kill them. However, the preliminary cultivator before him was clearly not an ordinary preliminary cultivator.
“Clearly, as a preliminary cultivator, I can take anything that I want from the preliminary ancient land. It is because the items of the ancient land were originally that of the Ancient Age Creation Sect. Just because you live here, it does not mean that the items here belong to you,” Mo Wen said with a calm and steady expression. He was clearly robbing them, but he found himself a rather good excuse. As expected of immortal cultivators, they wrestled with the heavens over their fates and took the wealth of others as well.
In the Immortal Cultivation world, it was the survival of the fittest. It was common for one to rob others of their wealth and belongings. There was no order to speak of. Whoever had the larger fist was the law. It was a completely barbaric world.
Hence, the Immortal Cultivation world was far crueler than the mortal world.
Mo Wen did not want to simply kill people. However, he would still take what he needed to take. The Fire Leaving Stone could greatly increase the chances of breaking through to the Tide Changing Realm. It was an absolute treasure. In the outside world, one of them would be priceless.
Also, the living creatures of the ancient land were under the suppression of its laws, so they could not break through to the Tide Changing Realm in the preliminary ancient land. Hence, treasures such as the Fire Leaving Stones were simply gathering dust.
“Treasures only belong to the strong. If you have the ability, you can try to take the Fire Leaving Stones from us. However, I am warning you. The Flame Horn Clan will definitely not allow the Fire Leaving Stones to be stolen away by a human preliminary cultivator. Even if you succeed today, as long as you are in the preliminary ancient land, you will be chased down to the ends of the earth by the Flame Horn Clan in the future. Our Lord Clan Leader will also personally be involved,” another creature said, its tone cold. He was clearly the unbending type.
Once this was said, it immediately roused the anger of many Flame Horn Clan members. One by one, the bizarre shaped creatures flew up into the sky and slowly surrounded Mo Wen. It was obvious that they would attack at a single word of disagreement.
“All of you, step down.”
Halina’s expression changed, and he roared loudly. At the same time, he extended his arms and held back the creatures beside him that were about to make a move. As a manager, he understood clearly that the more crucial the situation was, the more they could not act recklessly. The person before him had cultivation that was too frightening. A slight act of carelessness would cause a bloodbath, and blood would dye Lie Ban City red. He could not bear that responsibility.
They might be able to kill this human preliminary cultivator with sheer numbers. However, if their own losses were too great, the entire Lie Ban Tribe would also head towards extinction. After all, the Flame Horn Clan was not free from infighting. The other tribes had their eyes on them and were prepared to find any opportunity to consume them.
“Sir, in the entire Lie Ban Tribe, only the chief might have one or two such treasures as the Fire Leaving Stones. Even if you want them from us now, we cannot possibly procure them for you,” Halina slowly said to Mo Wen as he waved his hand and ordered the members of the Lie Ban Tribe to back down. He would first occupy this human preliminary cultivator while waiting for the chief to return and make further decisions.

“Of course, I know that you all don’t have any on you. Otherwise, I would not just be standing here waiting. Didn’t you send someone to inform your chief just now? I will wait for him to return,” Mo Wen said. He had initially come to meet the Lie Ban Tribe Chief. It was just that Mo Wen had not imagined that he would not be in the city.
Upon hearing his words, Halina’s mood turned even more sullen. This human preliminary cultivator had actually been waiting for their chief to come back all along. He seemed fearless; clearly he was not afraid of their chief at all.
Mo Wen sat down cross-legged on the tallest lighthouse in the city. He looked at the scenery and the exotic culture with a leisurely look. Sa’anqi stood obediently behind him with a helpless expression while smiling wryly. This human preliminary cultivator was truly a figure who was not afraid to stir up trouble. Perhaps he was confident in seizing control over the Lie Ban Tribe. However, what about the Flame Horn Clan who was behind the Lie Ban Tribe? The clan leader of the Flame Horn Clan was a renowned strong practitioner in the ancient land.
Besides, even though the Flame Horn Clan was a large clan, it had pledged its loyalty to the Kun Fish Clan, one of the Three Great King Clans in the ancient land. If the Flame Horn Clan was bullied, surely the Kun Fish Clan would not stay out of it.
The Kun Fish King was one of the Three Great Kings of the ancient land. He had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and his cultivation was unfathomable. Ordinary Tide Changing Realm cultivators were most likely no match for him. No matter how powerful this human preliminary cultivator was, could he be more powerful than the Kun Fish King?
Sa’anqi sighed and stood behind Mo Wen dejectedly and despondently. He only wanted to live and hoped that this human would not let disaster befall him.
Some of the members of Lie Ban City floated in the air while some stood on the rooftops and others were scattered in the streets. They all looked towards the tallest lighthouse in the city.
A human preliminary cultivator! Almost all the living creatures of the ancient land knew that there was such a creature. However, very few in the ancient land had actually seen a human preliminary cultivator. After all, there were originally not many human preliminary cultivators who could enter the eighth level preliminary ancient land. As for the humans who entered this place, most of them would be in disguise and would not reveal their identities. Seeking them out was not an easy task.
In a few millennia, it was hard to come across even one human preliminary cultivator who was as obvious as him.
None of the spectators, including the members of the mayor’s manor, dared to approach Mo Wen. He could send a later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator flying with just a slap. Aside from the Lord Chief, who else would dare to make an enemy of such a person?
“Who dares wreak havoc in Lie Ban City?”
Two hours later, a furious roar suddenly sounded from outside of the city. The voice was thunderous, traversing far and loud across the clouds. The sound waves shattered the clouds; causing a gush of strong wind to stir in the city. The sands stirred and the stones tumbled. Some roof tiles were sent flying by the shockwave.
“Chief!”
“The chief has returned!”
“The great Lord Chief has returned. Let’s see whether that human preliminary cultivator still dares to cause trouble in the city.”
…
Cheers sounded in the Lie Ban City. All the members of the mayor’s manor cheered and rejoiced continuously. Someone knocking on their door seeking trouble had led to a great sense of pent up anger. Now, the backbone of the entire Lie Ban Tribe had finally returned.
The living creatures who were not related to the Lie Ban Tribe were watching the scene with great interest.
Mo Wen slowly opened his eyes and cast his gaze towards the outskirts of the city. A beam of red light came shooting from the sky. The chief had yet to arrive when his terrifying pressure came crashing towards them. The pressure was closely followed by a wave of heat that swept across the city like a storm. The entire Lie Ban City turned into a giant furnace in an instant.
Mo Wen’s deified soul was powerful. He had already noticed that the chief was a gigantic creature that was a hundred feet tall, covered with red armor. The chief had a head that looked like a cow head’s, but his face was covered with scales, and he had five horns on his head. He looked exceptionally savage.
Almost everyone in the Flame Horn Clan practiced energy of the fire attribute. They had a strong, natural affinity towards the esoteric rule for fire. Hence, creatures from this race could easily comprehend the esoteric rule for fire. Some could even master the power of the esoteric rule for fire when they were at the Golden Elixir Realm. Individually, a member of the Flame Horn Clan was at least ten times stronger than an ordinary human ancient martial art practitioner.
Most of the races which existed since the Ancient Age were extraordinary. In comparison, even though humans had a long heritage that could be traced all the way back to the Immemorial Age as well, humans did not have any extraordinary talents since they were born with rather balanced abilities. However, the human race, which was like a blank piece of paper, was considered the race with the most potential by all the other races.
Since the Immemorial Age, humans were the kings of all the races. Their position remained unchallenged until now.
“You’ve come at the right time!”
Mo Wen did not wait for the Lie Ban Tribe Chief to enter the city. He transformed into a streak of lightning and left Lie Ban City in an instant, heading straight for the chief.
At the same time, a spear with lightning leaping on it appeared in Mo Wen’s hand. It was none other than the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear.
In the preliminary ancient land, the cultivators were allowed to use spiritual treasures. However, special powers like the spiritual talismans were still forbidden.
Rumble!
A streak of lightning appeared in the sky. Everyone noticed that a gigantic Heavenly Serpent had appeared in the sky. The Heavenly Serpent was covered with heaps of lightning, and it hovered nimbly over the thousand-mile-high sky. It was akin to a savage spirit from the Immemorial Age, emanating an ancient, wild, and destructive aura.
The fire cloud coalesced from the power of the Lie Ban Tribe Chief was instantly smashed into pieces with a attack from the Heavenly Serpent.
