"Okay! Elder Shi Mu's great improvement in cultivation is really a blessing for our giant ape clan. There is hope for the revival of our clan!" the elder laughed.
"The Great Elder is overly praised." Shi Mu smiled lightly.
"Stone, what happened in the secret realm? Why did the stone tablet collapse?" Cai'er asked.
Hearing this, the First Elder and the Second Elder looked at Shi Mu with a hint of inquiry.
"It's nothing. I accepted some tests from my ancestors inside... Because the battle was too fierce, the foundation of the space was damaged, causing the space inside to collapse." Shi Mu said.
He talked lightly about some of his experiences in space, but did not say anything about his journey through the Heavenly Xing Divine Tribulation.
"So that's it. Fortunately, you came out safely." The second elder said.
"By the way, Elder Shi, did you get the token of our clan leader when you went in this time?" The elder looked at Shi Mu with sparkling eyes and asked.
Shi Mu waved his hand, and a red stone monkey statue appeared in his hand.
"This is... the statue of the disobedient monkey!" Seeing this, the great elder's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.
"Great, our clan's token has finally returned again!" The second elder also said with excitement on his face.
"Don't listen to the Monkey Statue? Are you referring to the name of this statue?" Shi Mu raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
This is really a weird name, but the monkey statue in his hand looks like he is squatting on the ground, covering his ears with his hands, and his movements are consistent with the "disobedient monkey".
"That's right. Elder Shi has only been a member of our tribe for a short time, so it's normal for him not to know this. This sacred monkey statue was always carried by the leader of the White Ape tribe back then, and later it became the token of our tribe's leader." The elder said.
Shi Mu nodded and said nothing, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.
When he got this object before, he found that except for the special material that he couldn't identify, it was actually very ordinary.
As one of the eight ancient tribes in the past, the token of the leader of the Yanhu tribe is also a powerful spiritual treasure. As the head of the eight tribes at that time, the giant giant ape tribe used this funny-looking monkey statue as a
The patriarch’s token.
However, the White Ape Ancestor should have a purpose for doing this, but judging from the current situation, the former subordinates of the two ancestors in front of him are obviously not clear.
"Great Elder, Elder Shi Mu has now successfully found the clan leader's token in the secret realm, and his cultivation has advanced to the divine realm. I think he is now enough to assume the position of the clan leader of this group." The second elder suddenly looked at the elder and spoke solemnly.
said.
Shi Mu's eyes moved but he said nothing.
"That's right. Shitou has been able to serve as the clan leader for a long time. We have to wait until now..." Cai'er yelled from the side, but Shi Mu glared at her and quickly covered her mouth.
"Elder Shi has received the clan leader's token, so it is natural to take over the position of clan leader. However, according to the clan rules, the third elder should be notified of this matter and discussed." The first elder nodded and said.
"What are you discussing with him? We have already discussed it at the beginning. As long as Elder Shi gets the clan leader's token, he can take over the position of clan leader. Will the third elder say anything else?" The second elder snorted and said.
"Okay, Elder Shi, what do you think?" After hearing this, the great elder was silent for a moment, nodded, and turned to Shi Mu and asked.
"Two elders, don't worry. After I take over as the clan leader, I will definitely try my best to lead the Great Ape Clan to restore its former glory and drive the heavenly forces out of the Tianhe Star Territory." Shi Mu said loudly after hearing this.
The position of the leader of the Mitian Giant Ape Clan is actually not rare for him. He takes on this position, on the one hand, to fulfill the instructions of the White Ape Ancestor, and on the other hand, to improve his strength, fight to the death with Heaven, and protect everything he cherishes.
.
"Elder Shi Mu, we believe you can do it!" the second elder said immediately, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The Great Ape Clan has been in decline for thousands of years. Today, they finally see a glimmer of hope for prosperity.
This hope comes from Shi Mu.
Even the Great Elder, Fu Jing Bubo's eyes showed a hint of hope at this moment.
"Taking over as the leader of the clan is a major event that has not happened in thousands of years for our clan. A grand and solemn succession ceremony must be held. Moreover, our clan was attacked by heaven a few days ago, and the people in the clan are depressed. This move can stabilize people's hearts and boost morale."
The second elder said with some excitement.
"What the second elder said makes sense. How about we hold a succession ceremony on a rare auspicious day in three months' time?" The first elder looked at Shi Mu and asked.
"Since the succession ceremony is going to be held, let's send out invitations widely and invite people from all races to participate. At the same time, we also take the opportunity to announce that our Mighty Giant Ape Clan will return to the Tianhe Star Territory to compete with the Heavenly Court again!" Shi Mu
After a moment of silence, he spoke.
As soon as these words came out, both the first elder and the second elder were shocked.
The great elder raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Mu with a slightly strange expression. Then he quickly lowered his eyelids and pondered for a while without saying a word.
The second elder opened his mouth slightly and looked at Shi Mu in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Shi Mu just looked at the two of them calmly.
"Elder Shi Mu, is there something wrong with this move... I mean, there is no need to make such a big show of it." The second elder hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly.
He did not speak out what was in his heart. The Mighty Giant Ape clan had been away from the world for a long time and had long lost contact with all the other clans in the Tianhe Star Region. If invitations were really sent out, not many people would come.
Shi Mu's move may only make people laugh.
Although the giant ape clan is no longer in its grand glory now and has been hidden from the world for so long, there is still a lot of majesty in the minds of many old people.
But he really has no confidence that those races will give him this face.
If this birth is too grand and no one comes to congratulate it, and it would be too bad for the news to spread, then it is better to keep a low profile.
Shi Mu looked at the second elder with a calm expression, but in his heart he knew what the other elder was thinking.
Even the Great Elder probably has such concerns in his heart, although he doesn't say it out loud.
"...and the Heavenly Court is powerful, and our Mighty Giant Ape clan is weak alone. When the White Ape Ancestor was here, we were unable to completely defeat the Heavenly Court. It is better to take a long-term approach to fight against the Heavenly Court." The second elder paused and looked.
He glanced at the great elder and continued.
"Heaven has occupied half of the star field, we don't have much time." Shi Mu shook his head and said.
"But..." The second elder stopped talking.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from outside, and two figures walked in.
Shi Mu and the others followed the sound.
The person in front was clearly the Third Elder Bai Pi, and the person behind him was Bai Hong.
"Two elders, you are here, which makes it easier for me to find you." Bai Pi laughed and seemed to be in a good mood, nodding towards the first elder and the second elder.
He didn't seem to see Shi Mu on the side.
"Third Elder, are your injuries okay?" The First Elder turned his eyes and asked.
"Haha, thank you Great Elder for your concern, it's okay." Bai Pi said.
"Third Elder, what are you doing here?" The Second Elder frowned.
"Oh, two elders, I am here to tell you about Bai Hong. He went out a few days ago and had an unexpected encounter. Now his cultivation has greatly improved and he has reached the peak of the holy level. And I think he is going to
It won't be long before we can advance to the divine realm and add another divine being to our clan!" Bai Pi said with excitement.
"Oh, now is a troubled time. Bai Hong has this unexpected encounter, which is really a blessing for our clan." The elder's eyes brightened, he looked at Bai Hong, nodded, and said.
Bai Pi's eyes were filled with joy, this was the result he wanted, and he glanced at Shi Mu coldly.
This guy can hold the position of elder in the middle stage of the holy level. Bai Hong is already at the peak of the holy level. Naturally, he is more qualified than Shi Mu. He can replace Shi Mu and become the fourth elder of the clan. This is the purpose of his coming here.
Bai Pi was about to raise his voice when the Great Elder's voice came first.
"Third Elder, you are here just in time. We are discussing the succession of Elder Shi Mu as the clan leader. Because this succession ceremony also marks that our clan will appear in the Tianhe Star Territory again after a thousand years, and will join the Tianhe clan to resist the external aggression of the heaven.
Therefore, Elder Shi Mu plans to invite people from all tribes in the Tianhe Star Region to watch the ceremony, what do you think?"
"What!" Bai Pi was shocked when he heard this, and Bai Hong on the side was also startled.
After Shi Mu came out of the secret realm, he did not intentionally release the aura of the divine realm, so the two of them deliberately ignored Shi Mu and did not notice anything unusual for a while.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. Elder Shi Mu just entered the secret realm, took out the token of our clan leader, and advanced to the divine realm in the secret realm. According to our previous agreement, he will take over as the clan leader. The third elder does not agree with this.
Are there any objections?" The second elder looked into Bai Pi's eyes and said in a deep voice.
Bai Pi was shocked again and again when he heard this, and suddenly turned his head to look at Shi Mu.
At this moment, he felt the powerful aura exuded by Shi Mu. At the same time, when he saw the statue of the disobedient monkey in Shi Mu's hand, his expression changed again.
Bai Hong also looked at Shi Mu, his eyes were slightly red, and his eyes were full of jealousy.
"Hahaha! I wonder why Elder Shi Mu looks a bit more heroic today. It turns out that he has advanced to the divine realm. That is really gratifying. It is really good news for our giant ape family! Now that Elder Shi Mu has obtained
It is a token of the clan leader. Taking over the position of clan leader is natural and no problem." Bai Pi's eyes suddenly flashed with countless rays of light, and he suddenly laughed and said with a slightly flattering smile on his face.
Shi Mu was startled. He originally thought that the Third Elders would firmly oppose him taking over as the clan leader, and he was even ready to fight them and subdue them.
As a result, he said such words, which made him speechless for a while.
The first elder and the second elder were stunned for a moment when they heard this.
Even Cai'er, who was standing aggressively on Shi Mu's shoulder and had been staring at him since he appeared, wanting to say something, was stunned for a while at this moment. He opened his mouth, looked at Shi Mu, and still closed it.
