Chapter 481: Yao Mountain
Translator:Editor:
Passing by Ji Mountain City, Ji Hao took a hundred and twenty thousand Ji Mountain warriors and two million, seven hundred and twelve thousand clansmen with him.
The migratory troop grew much larger than before, with millions more large livestock and hundreds of thousands of large vehicles that fully contained all kinds of supplies added it. The troop swelled to an extreme extent, and Ji Hao lost his mood to enjoy cultivation. Instead, he had been running around the troop and handling all kinds of emergencies day and night.
The hard work lasted all the way. During the journey, Ji Hao’s troop encountered around ten homeless migratory clans who didn’t have their own territories. After communication, clansmen from these migratory clans, that numbered more than six hundred thousand in total, happily became Ji Hao’s clansmen as well to be directly under Ji Hao’s lead.
Two months after the troop left Pu Ban City, the totemic battle flag Po created for Ji Hao finally rose and fluttered in the air.
The totemic battle flag was over five-hundred meters squared, entirely flame-red and had raging flames coiling around it. In the middle of the flag was an outstanding three-legged gold crow, quietly floating with its pair of arms stretched. From its beaks, a flame stream was released, transforming into an ocean of fire surrounding the flag.
This totemic battle flag cost quite a lot precious materials of Po, especially those remaining bones of tens of ancient Gold Crows that Po collected in a deep and dangerous chasm back in the ancient and wild jungle of the Southern Wasteland. All those Gold Crow bones had been melted into the battle flag as well.
The quality of this battle flag could even be compared with a natural crafted holy weapon. It contained a nine-grid devil-burning fire lotus magic formation in it. Po had been rather generous to Ji Hao, this little brother of his, as the core of this nine-grid devil-burning fire lotus magic formation was a pre-world fire lotus, coordinating with nine pre-world powerful objects that had the nature of fire. With Ji Hao’s current power, he could easily burn a Magus King into ashes with this flag. Until Ji Hao improved his power a bit further, with this battle flag and the fire lotus magic formation contained in it, he could resist attacks launched by even Divine Magi.
The totem of three-legged Gold Crow painted on the flag seemed to be a true living being. As the battle flag flying forward along the troop, Mr. Crow had been excitedly hovering around the battle flag every single day. On the ground, nearly ten million people would raise their heads and look at this dazzlingly blazing totemic battle flag, and somehow, a bit of passion and devoutness was added to their hearts.
The cohesion of the migratory troop was improving day by day. Because of the appearance of this totemic battle flag, all people in the troop, including those warriors and clansmen Ji Hao bought with money, quickly started seeing that three-legged Gold Crow as their spiritual sustenance.
Mental outlooks of people in the troop had constantly been changing. Earlier, those people bought by Ji Hao were all inanimate and seemingly lifeless during the journey, which made them looked like a group of walking corpses. However, after Ji Hao showed this totem battle flag, the looks on these people’ faces grew brighter each day. Every day, one could find the smiles on their faces turn bigger and brighter than the day before. After showering under the warm shine released from the battle flag for two months, one could hear loud and clear laughter let out by countless people in the migratory troop every single day, coming straight from their hearts. Everybody had become more energetic and spirited.
Shaosi ordered those patrolling warriors to move around the entire troop every day and continuously advertise about Ji Hao’s background.
Ji Hao was born in Gold Crow Clan in Southern Wasteland, which was a ‘powerful’ clan that inherited the power of ancient three-legged Gold Crow. Ji Hao had made great contributions during the wartime and now was regarded highly by the human emperor. Ji Hao was close to Si Wen Ming and a batch of senior ministers and had many contacts in Pu Ban city. Ji Hao himself was a newly emerged talent of the Magi Palace and was regarded as important by many powerful senior Magi and elders of the Magi Palace…
Ji Hao had given his word that after the troop arrived at Yao Mountain, everyone would become a member of Gold Crow Clan. Since that moment, they would gather under the shine of the totem of Gold Crow, becoming people of one single clan. No matter which clan they were born in or which clan they used to work for, Ji Hao would treat them all equally without discrimination, treat them as his people, love them and protect them.
Shaosi also told those warriors to promise to those people on behalf of Ji Hao that after they arrived in Yao Mountain, Ji Hao would build the ancestral temple and altar, lighting up the holy fire to worship the ancestors’ souls.
Ji Hao would teach his people the secret cultivation method possessed by the Gold Crow Clan, and give out his own spirit blood as the trigger, leading everyone in his new clan into the door of Gold Crow’s power. After this, all those people would truly become clansmen who shared the same bloodline and inherited the Gold Crow power. They would love each other and share everything.
