Chapter 1641 - 1606: Exchanging Wind Eagle Divine Skill

Yang Xiao has become the hope of the Wind Eagle Tribe of the Ancient Clan.

Gai Cheng held the most grand and warm welcome ceremony in Nolan Ancient City to welcome Yang Xiao's arrival.

Firstly, Yang Xiao is a Divine Hall Elder, and according to the rules, wherever a Divine Hall Elder goes, they represent the Divine Hall to inspect, possessing unmatched authority.

Secondly, Yang Xiao is Gai Shaoying's mentor, and this relationship is extraordinary.

Gai Shaoying told his father,

"Father, with my mentor's help, I have now become an official student of Wuji Academy."

"Oh? Really? That's wonderful!"

Gai Cheng was so excited that tears welled up.

Entering Wuji Academy is the only pathway for the Wind Eagle Tribe people of Nolan Ancient City to reach the peak of Genetic Evolution; it's a dream.

Gai Cheng never expected that his son would encounter the greatest fortune of his life in just three short months.

Those who originally stood with Gai Long opposing Gai Cheng, upon hearing of Yang Xiao's identity, immediately broke with Gai Long and declared their loyalty to Gai Cheng.

Gai Cheng was naturally happy to go with the flow, abandoning prejudices and uniting everyone he could.

The entire Nolan Ancient City was festively decorated and jubilant.

The Clan Chief Mansion hosted a feast with dozens of tables, gathering all the key figures of the tribe to congratulate Gai Shaoying on his rebirth.

At night, Gai Cheng invited Yang Xiao to the study for tea alone.

"Shaoying, you go out first, I have words to speak with Elder Yang."

Gai Shaoying glanced at his father, nodded, exited the study, and closed the door behind him, standing outside.

Inside the study, Gai Cheng kneeled and bowed his head to Yang Xiao again.

Yang Xiao did not stop him and let Gai Cheng bow.

Given Yang Xiao's status, even without helping Gai Shaoying, he could accept Gai Cheng's bow.

Gai Cheng said:

"Elder Yang, whatever blessings my son Gai Shaoying has cultivated in another life to earn your favor, I truly am infinitely grateful."

Yang Xiao said faintly:

"You're quite right; indeed, your Gai clan's good deeds are the reason for today's fortune."

Gai Cheng was stunned, looking at Yang Xiao.

"Clan Leader Gai, please get up and talk."

"Hmm."

Gai Cheng stood up, standing opposite Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao said:

"I once received favor from an elder of the Gai clan, so today, it can be considered a small repayment to that elder."

"Ah, is there such a thing?"

"You needn't delve into specifics. I am here to deliver a great fortune to your Gai clan."

Gai Cheng was startled, looking at Yang Xiao, not knowing what he meant.

"I won't beat around the bush with you; I'll be straight. Does your Gai clan have a Four Beasts Evolution Technique?"

Gai Cheng nodded,

"Indeed, our Gai clan has the Four Beasts Evolution Technique, but unfortunately,"

"Unfortunately, the totem jade tokens of the Three Divine Beasts—the Heavenly Dragon, White Elephant, and Flying Leopard—are lost, leaving only the Wind Eagle Divine Beast Totem, causing the effect of the Four Beasts Evolution Technique to diminish greatly,

This is also the main reason your Gai clan has declined from one of the ten major clans of the Dwarf Star to a non-notable clan over thousands of years,

Clan Leader Gai, am I correct?"

Gai Cheng trembled, looking at Yang Xiao in shock.

"Elder Yang, how do you know this secret?"

"It's not much of a secret. As long as one pays attention, one can find out in Shendu College and Divine Hall Academy. Of course, your Gai clan has been forgotten over these hundreds of years; no one cares why the once-glorious Gai clan has fallen."

Gai Cheng sighed deeply and said:

"Alas, I have not witnessed the strength of our Gai clan either; I only know a little from the ancient clan's historical records handed down over generations. Shameful, as a descendant of the Gai clan, it's now falling apart, declining day by day, alas!"

"Could you show me the Wind Eagle Divine Skill's Divine Beast Totem of your Gai clan?"

Gai Cheng was taken aback, looked at Yang Xiao, and then said:

"Alright, please wait a moment, Elder Yang."

Gai Cheng walked to the study's bookshelf, pressed a mechanism, and the entire bookshelf moved aside, revealing a wall.

Gai Cheng then pressed another mechanism, and the wall opened a door.

Gai Cheng walked inside, and after a moment, came out with a black box, placing it in front of Yang Xiao.

"Elder Yang, this is our Gai clan's Wind Eagle Divine Skill."

When Yang Xiao saw the black box, he felt a familiar sense, exactly like the three boxes he had seen on Witch Star.

Yang Xiao opened the box, revealing a jade pendant shaped like a Divine Eagle.

Yang Xiao glanced at it and closed the box, saying:

"How do you Gai clan members extract the Divine Beast Totem from the body after using it to assist in cultivation?"

Gai Cheng had a premonition that Yang Xiao's visit to Nolan Ancient City, and helping his son cultivate, was truly for the Wind Eagle Divine Skill.

However, he couldn't understand how an extraordinary expert in the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm and a Divine Hall Elder could be interested in such a technique?

Gai Cheng hesitated not, immediately retrieving a black jade piece from the bookshelf, placing it on the tea table, and then taking out the Wind Eagle Divine Beast Totem Jade Token from the black box.

A flash of light, and the Wind Eagle Divine Beast on the jade token entered Gai Cheng's body.

Gai Cheng glanced at Yang Xiao, then extended his right hand, holding the black jade token.

A flash of light appeared, a mass of light forming on the jade token, soon transforming into the Wind Eagle Divine Beast Totem.

Yang Xiao nodded, saying:

"I see! Please fetch me three black jade tokens."

Not sure what Yang Xiao meant, Gai Cheng retrieved three black jade tokens from the bookshelf and handed them to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao held a jade token, closed his eyes slightly, and activated his Divine Sense, reaching out to the three divine beasts above the Energy Sea within him.

After a moment, a light flashed from his palm, condensing on the jade token.

Yang Xiao handed the jade token to Gai Cheng.

Gai Cheng looked at it, and was dumbfounded.

"Heavenly, Heavenly Dragon Divine Beast?"

Yang Xiao smiled faintly, repeating the process twice, extracted the White Elephant Divine Beast and the Flying Leopard Divine Beast from within him.

With the three Divine Beast Totem Jade Tokens arranged in front of Gai Cheng, Gai Cheng was overwhelmed, as if hit by a million critical hits, his body trembling, unable to speak from excitement, just staring at the three jade tokens in a daze.

These three jade tokens carry centuries of glory and decline of the Gai clan, something he never dreamed would come from a stranger like Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao retrieved the three jade tokens, reabsorbing the three divine beasts above the Ocean of Evolution within him.

"Thud!"

Gai Cheng once again kneeled in front of Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao said faintly:

"These belong to your Gai clan, but now is not the time to return them. I came this time to borrow your Wind Eagle Divine Beast Totem, do you agree?"

"I agree!"

Gai Cheng replied immediately without thinking, pushing the black box on the tea table towards Yang Xiao.

"Elder Yang, take it as you wish."

"I won't take your item for free. As I said, I just wish to borrow it for a period, and after some time, I'll return it to you, including the other three Divine Beast Totems. Do you trust me?"

"Trust, absolutely trust!"

Did Gai Cheng have a choice at this moment?

Gai Cheng was no fool. Though Wind Eagle Divine Skill is a treasured heirloom of the Gai clan, a solo Wind Eagle Divine Skill holds little meaning. In Wuji Academy or Divine Hall Academy, Yang Xiao could find techniques far superior to Wind Eagle Divine Skill.

Since Yang Xiao had three Divine Beast Totems, it shows that Yang Xiao has the destiny for them.

"From now on, Nolan Ancient City is under my protection. If anyone dares to bully you, I won't let them go."

"Thank you, Elder Yang."

"Furthermore, select fifty talented disciples from the tribe. I will send them to Wuji Academy for cultivation."

Gai Cheng was overjoyed to hear this, saying:

"Elder Yang, can I really do that?"

"Why not? Even if I send a hundred people to Wuji Academy, Wuji Academy wouldn't dare refuse. However, your Wind Eagle Tribe might not have so many outstanding evolvers, right?"
