Chapter 770

"I don't know who Tang Ning is," Gu Chen answered truthfully.

The young man looked at Gu Chen seriously and only spat out two words. "Celestial Court!"

Gu Chen and the black dog exchanged glances. It looked like they hadn't come to the wrong place!

"If you've come for this, then come with us. My name is Long Yun."

The young man announced his name, then turned and walked into the forest. A large group of barbarian warriors followed behind him.

Gu Chen and the black dog immediately followed.

Along the way, Long Yun didn't speak again, and the other barbarian warriors didn't communicate with Gu Chen either. They only whispered in twos and threes, sizing up Gu Chen from time to time.

"This kid called Long Yun is very strong. I've heard that the barbarians are very courageous, and there are all kinds of competitions since young. The loser has to cut off his braid. And this Long Yun's braid is hanging down to the ground. It's obvious that he's much longer than the other barbarian warriors. His strength must be second to none among his peers. "

The black dog observed secretly.

Gu Chen nodded. He could sense that Long Yun's cultivation had reached the Heaven Immortal Stage. Moreover, the blood and Qi in his body were strong and evenly distributed, perfectly fusing with his muscles. The strength of his physique was extremely rare!

The group shuttled through the forest and soon arrived at a tribe built from animal bones and stones. Smoke curled up from the chimneys of the tribe, and there were many children playing inside.

A stone tablet was erected outside the tribe. Gu Chen was attracted by it at first glance, and he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

The stone tablet was empty, and there was only a person's handprint left on it.

"Looks like your spiritual sense is very sharp."

Long Yun spoke to Gu Chen for the first time along the way, and he said in surprise.

"The person who left his handprint on this stone tablet is not simple. This tablet has the power to protect an area." The black dog also took a few glances and commented.

"Your spirit beast is quite powerful." Long Yun was even more surprised.

"I'm not his spirit beast!" The black dog replied angrily.

Long Yun didn't mind and smiled. "This stone tablet was left behind by Lord Tang Ning. Back then, he had left a palm strike on it, allowing our Barbarian Tribe to sleep peacefully at night. We no longer have to worry about the attacks of powerful wild beasts."

Gu Chen was surprised. This handprint was actually left behind by the person who left behind the star atlas!

He could sense an extremely majestic power hidden in that palm. Tang Ning's cultivation was far beyond his imagination!

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go tell the Patriarch about your arrival."

Long Yun left behind these words and left, but the few barbarian warriors stayed behind, clearly intending to watch the two of them.

"There are so many masters in this barbarian tribe!" The black dog secretly used his Deific Consciousness to investigate, and his eyebrows twitched.

"Since I'm already here, I might as well take things as they come." Gu Chen patiently waited at the same spot.

Before long, a white-haired old man came over accompanied by Long Yun. At the same time, there was also a large group of Berserkers following him.

There were old and young barbarians among them. Some of them had a curious look in their eyes, while others had a cold look on their faces.

But some of the young people actually had a strong hostility in their eyes …

"Lord Tang Ning asked us to wait for three years. The time is getting closer and closer, and this old man thought that we wouldn't be able to wait for him. I didn't expect that little friend would still arrive in time."

The old Patriarch of the Barbarian Tribe said. Although his tone wasn't cold, there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Gu Chen was deep in thought. Wait for three years? What was going on?

"It seems that little friend isn't too clear about Lord Tang Ning's arrangements." The old Patriarch shook his head and explained when he saw Gu Chen's bewildered expression.

"The ancestor of my Barbarian Tribe was a Celestial General of Ancient Heaven, so it has been passed down from generation to generation. We also belong to the bloodline of Ancient Heaven."

"Every thousand years, Ancient Heaven will recruit a batch of Celestial Soldiers from each bloodline. Our Barbarian Tribe has always had ten places to participate in the assessment. As long as we pass, we can officially become a member of the Celestial Court."

"We should have participated in the last assessment a long time ago, but Lord Tang Ning came and asked us to wait for three years for the person with his token to come."

"If he comes, we will give up a place for him to accompany us to participate in the assessment. If he doesn't come, we will still do what we were doing when the three years are up. "

After the old Patriarch finished speaking, the people in the tribe whispered, especially some of the young people, who seemed a little angry.

Gu Chen understood. This was indeed a shortcut to join Ancient Heaven. However, he didn't expect that his arrival would squeeze out a place for the Barbarian Tribe.

It was no wonder that some of the young people were hostile to him, and others weren't enthusiastic about him.

He didn't know what the benefits of becoming a Celestial Soldier were, but it was obvious that the Barbarian Tribe attached great importance to this assessment!

"May I know little friend's name?" The old Patriarch asked politely.

Gu Chen told him his name truthfully.

"Lord Tang Ning has done a great favor for our tribe, so we naturally have to listen to his words. Since little friend Gu has found this place before the deadline, our Barbarian Tribe will naturally give you a place. "

"However, a few of our children who are going to participate in the assessment are still in the wild forest and haven't returned yet. It will probably take a few days, so we can only let little friend Gu wait in the tribe for a few days. When everyone is here, we will go together to take the assessment. "

The old Patriarch explained.

"Sorry to disturb you, Patriarch and everyone," Gu Chen said apologetically.

"No need for formalities." The old Patriarch shook his head and asked a woman to bring Gu Chen and Black Dog into the tribe. They found an uninhabited courtyard and settled down.

When the two of them settled down, the Barbarians had all left. Black Dog let out a long sigh. "It seems that you're not very welcome in this Barbarian Tribe."

Although many of the Barbarians looked polite, Black Dog could clearly feel the coldness in their bones.

"I can't help it, I'm an uninvited guest after all."

Gu Chen laughed at himself. He had taken the Barbarians' place, and it was already good enough that they treated him with respect.

He only had to wait for a few days, and when he went to participate in the Heavenly Soldier Selection, he would no longer have to worry about the people here.

The sky quickly darkened. There was no moon on the Desolate Star at night, so the land was dark.

Outside the tribe, countless roars of tigers and cries of apes could be heard. Indistinctly, huge figures could be seen walking back and forth in the darkness.

The stone tablet at the entrance of the tribe emitted a cold light that shrouded the entire village. Every time the figures in the dark tried to approach the tribe, they would flee once they came into contact with the light emitted by the stone tablet.

After the black figures fled, the tribe gradually quieted down. Everything seemed so quiet.

"Gu, come out!"

Gu Chen was refining the Soul Jade in his room when a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard, breaking the silence of the night.

He opened his eyes and pushed the door open with a frown.

He saw a strong young man striding into his courtyard. He had a quiver on his back and a saber in his hand.
