425 Truth Behind the Slumbering Battle Kings (1/2)
The chief position might be really appealing, but it was not worth offending everyone for it. The short-term benefits were not worth the price in the long term.
Once Chief Baskara recovers from his coma, Ironfist can expect many naughty kids to be spanked.

Darkmoon Tribe, Great Hall.
Leon and the six Venerable Shamans continued to transcribe the ancient book collection. Much more dragon-related heritage began to appear so frequently that they were allocated their own section in the Great Hall to be placed.
Of course, the one who volunteered to move the dragon-related books was Leon. And he did so shamelessly with an honest look, saying that the young had more energy and should naturally work harder when in truth, he was just scanning a copy of everything in the [Archive].
”Dragon God Consolidating Viscera Method, first volume.”
”Dragon God Consolidating Viscera Method, second volume.”
”Divine Empyrean Sutra, second volume.”
”Roar of the Dragon King, third volume.”
”Star God's Finger Art, second volume.”
”Devil Emperor's Tome of Darkness, fourth volume.”
Leon continued to hear dragon this and dragon that from the Venerable Shamans.
At the rate that they were going through the piles of ancient heritages, he estimated that there would at least be five completed volumes of techniques relating to dragons by the time they are done with it.
Dragon heritage aside, other techniques began making recurring appearances, such as the Star God's Finger Art, Divine Empyrean Sutra, and Devil Emperor's Tome of Darkness.
”Ice Phoenix's Frozen Calamity, first volume.”
”Archaic Flesh Refining Technique, second volume.”
”Everlasting Blood Mantra, second volume.”
”Indestructible Bone Transformation Method, fourth volume.”
At this point, Leon has heard at least one body forging method for each of the five phases pertaining to Body Cultivation. However, there did not seem to be a technique relating to tempering muscles and meridians.
This is because muscle tempering was included in the tempering flesh phase, while meridians were part of the consolidating viscera phase.
When Leon understood this point, he was relieved that he did not cultivate incorrectly when he tempered his meridians.
Nevertheless, it seemed that his meridians would undergo another round of tempering after he obtains a suitable consolidating viscera method.
Two hours quickly passed in the blink of an eye before Leon, and the six Venerable Shamans sorted out the mountain of ancient heritage, containing hundreds of books.
Each technique, method, and battle skills were neatly arranged into their own separate stack on the ground.
”Haiz, let us divide these books into two groups; the complete volumes and the incomplete volumes.” Old Tailor said with a sigh.
Master Woodrow raised an eyebrow and asked, ”Why do you sigh, Old Tailor? We are making good progress right now.”
”Haiz…” Old Tailor shook his head and sighed again. After he cracked his stiff neck and said, ”Maybe I am getting old. I'm getting a bit tired. It took us nearly two houses to transcribing the titles on these things. However, each title is only a few runic characters long. Can you imagine how long it will take us to translate the entire texts in each of them?”
”Each of these books contains at least hundreds to thousands of runic characters. I'm afraid it will take us a long while to finish translating them all.” Old Hammer said with a startled expression.
”A year at the very least, I'd say.” Master Woodrow commented.
”But this only if we are trying to translate everything. We just need to focus on one at a time. However, what do we focus on is the question. Do we work on the cultivation methods of ancient times, or do we work on the miscellaneous items and learn about our ancient past?”
”What does everyone think?” Old Tailor asked.
When this question was raised, everyone was immediately in favor of translating one of the ancient cultivation methods over learning history.
Learning history would satisfy their curiosity, but the ancient cultivation methods could improve the [Darkmoon Body Forging Method] and strengthen their tribe.
”How about you, Little Brother Leonhardt?” Master Woodrow turned to Leon, who did not insert an opinion.
