This Is My Primitive Tribe-Chapter 505 - 309: Great High Priest, Great Tribe

"Wooooo..."

Nine great ships sailed into the port of the Vine Tribe one after another, followed by a series of maneuvers like lowering sails and anchoring.

After securing the ships, Jing Jie and the others opened the cargo hold and began unloading the goods with great effort.

"Why did you return so late?"

Jiang Xuan led his people to the riverside, inquiring of Jing Jie the reason for their delayed return.

"Huh!"

Jing Jie hoisted a massive Water Beast, its four hooves bound, from the ship to the shore, responding to Jiang Xuan, "We ran into some trouble, which delayed us by half a day."

Jiang Xuan frowned slightly, wanting to get to the bottom of it, but the Great High Priest had to proceed, and everyone was waiting.

"Take the offerings you've prepared over there first. We can discuss any issues after the ceremony."

"Yes!"

Jing Jie, along with his people, repeatedly went back and forth, moving all the prepared offerings to the altar.

This journey to the Great Swamp encountered many troubles and even cost a few warriors, but with the Old Witch and the giant eagle, most people remained safe.

As a result, the fleet's harvest was substantial, resulting in a mountain of offerings for the Vine God, filled with countless rare and peculiar animals and plants.

To save time, Jiang Xuan, along with the warriors of the Guard Team, helped transport all the offerings to the altar.

After everything was moved, the fleet and warriors joined the ranks before the Five-Colored Altar, and the sacrificial ceremony continued.

Chi Shao stood before the Five-Colored Altar and bowed towards it once more.

"Please, Vine God, close the tribe's entrance."

"Buzz!"

The Divine Vine emitted a dazzling green light, and the giant dragonflies flew even more joyfully.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

On the Vine Wall, all the vines continued to interweave and grow, the riverway closing swiftly as if a gate had fallen, and the water could only flow through the gaps in the vines.

Once all the entrances were closed, the Divine Vine retracted the vines draped over the Vine Wall, preparing to accept the sacrifices.

"Wooooo..."

Warriors blew horns made of ox and sheep, their desolate tones echoing throughout the tribe.

A warrior beside the altar shouted, "The sacrificial ceremony has officially begun!"

Chi Shao took a deep breath and then, barefooted, walked step by step up the staircase of the Five-Colored Altar.

At that moment, all eyes focused on Chi Shao, and although she felt immense pressure, she remained steady in her steps.

Upon reaching the top of the several meters high altar, a vast platform came into view, with three large tripods arranged in a triangular formation on top.

Each tripod was filled with meticulously selected grains, colorful and heaped to a point, making a spectacular sight.

Standing atop the altar, Chi Shao faced the immense Divine Vine, slowly spreading her arms and began reciting the chant:

"ㄉㄊㄎㄌㄉ, ㄞㄓㄘㄢㄖ..."

The mysterious and ancient chant carried a unique and solemn rhythm, resembling an ancient ballad and telling a story.

Upon hearing the sound, all the Vine Tribe members' faces and bodies shone with a faint light, feeling filled with power.

"Rumble..."

As the chant continued, the Divine Vine slowly retracted its roots from the ground, floating into the air, the divine light like ten thousand rays of green glow lighting up the sky, its divine power flowing through the air like an ocean.

"Vine God, Vine God, Vine God..."

The tribespeople of the Vine Tribe couldn't help but cheer, their voices like a tsunami, wave upon wave.

"It seems stronger than before."

The Old Witch, observing from the sidelines, let out a low exclamation as he watched the immense and fearsome Divine Vine.

In his perception, the Divine Vine appeared much more terrifying than before, with its vast power alone suffocating him.

Not only the Old Witch, but other attending tribe leaders also showed expressions of shock.

This was their first close encounter with the Divine Vine.

Unlike the Vine Tribe people, they felt nothing but tremendous oppression in front of the Divine Vine, even having difficulty breathing.

"Is this the Guardian God of a great tribe?"

Shan Jia's neck retreated into his shell armor, and if not for their friendly relations with the Vine Tribe, he would have wanted to flee.

In front of the Vine God, he felt lesser than an ant.

The leaders of the Frog Tribe, Rabbit Tribe, Stinging Fly Tribe, and Mountain-piercing Tribe were similarly filled with deep reverence in their gazes.

It could be anticipated that, after this sacrifice, the strength of the Vine Tribe would leave an indelible impression in their hearts.

Once the entire Divine Vine floated into the sky, Chi Shao rose and turned to face the altar below, shouting, "Bring the offerings!"

"Follow me."

Below the altar, Jiang Xuan immediately summoned the warriors who were already prepared, and then took the lead, lifting a gigantic Two-Horned Beast and walking up the altar steps.

Subsequently, warriors took turns ascending the altar, either carrying or lifting a vast array of offerings.

The Five-Colored Altar built by the Vine Tribe had stairs on all four sides, and Jiang Xuan, after placing the Two-Horned Beast at the center, saluted the Vine God and then descended via another side's steps.

Quickly, a long line formed on the altar.

The warriors of the Vine Tribe, resembling ants moving houses, queued to deliver offerings onto the altar and then lined up on another side to descend.

The offerings piled higher and higher on the altar, filling the expansive platform.

Looking around, various fierce beasts, wild animals, grains, and vegetables were piled like mountains, with even some magical plants offered as sacrifices.

After all the offerings were presented, Chi Shao stood at the altar's edge, bowing again to the Divine Vine, loudly declaring, "Please enjoy the offerings, Vine God."

The colossal Divine Vine flew over the altar, and then countless roots wrapped around all the offerings on the altar, nearly engulfing the entire altar.

Yet, when the roots passed Chi Shao, they bypassed her, causing her no harm.

"Zzz..."

At first, the prey made some noise, but once fully enveloped, even the sound ceased, leaving only the sound of sucking on the altar.

Soon after, the Divine Vine devoured all offerings on the altar, leaving not even the fur or bones.

"Buzz..."

The roots of the Divine Vine retracted entirely and floated back into the air.

After consuming the offerings, the Divine Vine appeared more vigorous than before. Even the old branches were revived with vitality.

Chi Shao bowed again, "Please, Vine God, bless the tribesmen."

In the sky, the Divine Vine swayed slightly, almost like a nod.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Green vines grew rapidly, extending in all directions, covering the heads of tens of thousands of Vine Tribe members.

"Drip..."

A drop of green Divine Liquid trickled down from the tip of a vine, landing on the head of a Vine Tribe member.

That tribesman felt a warm current spreading from the head throughout the body. The muscles, bones, and internal organs were strengthened, and the entire being felt utterly comfortable.

"Drip, drip, drip..."

More and more Divine Liquid drops fell, eventually turning into a shower of Divine Liquid.

"Rustle, rustle..."

Countless Divine Liquid droplets rained down from the sky, showering the bodies of the Vine Tribe members, fortifying their bodies and cleansing their souls.

"I've broken through!"

"I've broken through too!"

...

In the crowd, an exclamation after another arose from the warriors whose strength surged after bathing in the Divine Liquid.

Everyone was engulfed in euphoria, shouting and dancing in the Divine Liquid rain, expressing their wild joy.

On the altar, Chi Shao also benefited greatly.

A vine wrapped directly around her, channeling massive Witch Power into her body.

When Chi Shao opened her eyes again, they seemed as deep as an unfathomable pool.

Chi Shao glanced at her own hand, murmuring excitedly, "Almost a Great Witch!"

A Great Witch is a Witch found only in large tribes, possessing immeasurable strength.

The Old Witch is a Great Witch. Riding a giant eagle from the Eastern Wilderness to the Southern Wilderness, and then to the Western Wilderness, he had no mishaps on the journey, showcasing his terrifying power.

And Chi Shao, although not very old, with the help of the Divine Vine, might soon break through after this ritual and become a true Great Witch.

This is a remarkable achievement.

Meanwhile, a sturdy vine wrapped around Jiang Xuan's body, pouring a large amount of Divine Liquid into him as well.

Jiang Xuan felt his muscles, bones, and internal organs being repeatedly washed by the Divine Liquid, undergoing continuous transformation.

"Ugh..."

Finally, Jiang Xuan let out a deep growl, with two beams of light shining in his eyes, and totem patterns spread across his body.

The vine slowly retreated, and the totem patterns on Jiang Xuan's body gradually faded, but his strength had ascended another plateau.

"Seven-Color Warrior!"

Jiang Xuan clenched his fists, the joints cracking with a "crackling" sound, feeling an overwhelming strength!

He had already broken through to become a Six-Color Warrior, and this ritual elevated him to a genuine Seven-Color Warrior.

Even in those large tribes, Seven-Color Warriors are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Generally, only the leaders of large tribes can become Seven-Color Warriors, and now Jiang Xuan was one.

In other words, he now truly was the leader of a large tribe, both in power and authority.

Apart from Jiang Xuan and others, the members of the Thorny Vine in the dense fog had also gained varying levels of benefits, significantly enhancing their strength.

This was undoubtedly great news for the Thorny Vine members, who frequently faced danger.

Their loyalty to the tribe also grew stronger.

After the Divine Liquid rain ended, the Divine Vine retracted all its vines.

Chi Shao shouted loudly, "Thank the Vine God!"

"Thank the Vine God..."

All the members of the Vine Tribe shouted in unison, sincerely bowing to the Divine Vine.

The Divine Vine swayed gently in the sky, accepting the Power of Faith and gratitude from the tribesmen.

"Rumble..."

The Divine Vine slowly descended, its roots once again embedding into the ground.

Moreover, its roots dug deeper and further, clearing out the snakes, insects, rats, and ants hidden underground.

This was one of the benefits of the Great High Priest ritual.

Not long after, the gate in the Vine Wall opened again, marking the conclusion of the ritual.

However, the crowd hadn't dispersed because a very important announcement had yet to be made.

Amid everyone's gaze, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao walked to the front of the altar together.

Looking at the vast crowd, they felt a surge of emotion.

Chi Shao nodded to Jiang Xuan, encouraging him.

Jiang Xuan took a deep breath and shouted to all the members of the Vine Tribe, "I announce that from today onward, we, the Vine Tribe, are truly a great tribe!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Vine Tribe erupted with cheers from all the tribesmen.

"Great Tribe! Great Tribe! Great Tribe..."

At this moment, every member of the Vine Tribe felt a sense of pride, for from today, they were part of a great tribe.

Other tribal leaders looked at them with envy, their minds filled with complex emotions.

...

Thanks to the friends who voted the previous year; in 2023, let's continue together.
