Chapter 1036: Barbarian Palace
Chirp Chirp!
A four-winged griffin beast flapped its wings and left the Beichen tribe.
On the back of the griffin, the Ancestral Court’s special envoy looked at Fang Yuan and the others, all smiles. “I am Yan Luo, the special envoy from the ‘Barbarian Ancestral Court’. You have passed my assessment and can enter the Ancestral Court to study for three years!”
Several youths looked at each other before saluting. “Greetings Master Yan Luo!”
Fang Yuan mingled within, watching the ever-smaller scenery below and recalling what had happened.
After defeating Black Fury, he naturally did not want to make Beichen Yan lose face in front of the Beichen tribe. After a little performance in the final battle, he pretended to lose to Beichen Yan and obtained second place.
After the event, a celebration was in order, and then this youngster immediately came out and took five of them away.
“Besides me, there’s Beichen Yan, Black Fury, Bei Tangman, and Ivy...”
He specially glanced at the last one—a silent girl with tattoos all over her face. She had a third-grade wood element totem and had reached the semi-finals. Unfortunately, she was defeated by Beichen Yan.
“The Ancestral Court is the Holy Land of the barbarians. The most complete set of magical power manuals, the best resources, and the best masters are there... You are the best warriors in the Beichen area and will receive the best training...”
Yan Luo sat cross-legged and started sharing some common knowledge about the Ancestral Court.
“Our Ancestral Court is the true ruler of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the core of the barbarians. We have amassed a large number of Primordial Core and Apotheosis cultivators. Even Immortal Patriarchs who have transcended their tribulation are still alive.”
“Tribulation? Immortal?” Black Fury rubbed his head. “What realm is that?”
“When an Apotheosis cultivator reaches perfection and comprehends a complete set of nomological laws, they will attract the lightning tribulation. You become an Immortal after transcending the tribulation!” Beichen Yan replied matter-of-factly.
Due to his family’s teachings, he naturally knew more than those from the smaller tribes. However, he was not showing off at this time.
“What if you don’t pass the tribulation?”
“You’ll turn into ashes and have no recourse!”
Yan Luo said solemnly, “You don’t understand the horror of the lightning tribulation. It is using your tiny body to withstand the might of heaven and earth. Even if you use magic artifacts or borrow the power of others, the lightning tribulation will adjust accordingly! Many of the Apotheosis experts of the Ancestral Court have long since reached the perfection stage, but they have no confidence in transcending the tribulation...”
He shook his head, seemingly trying to shake off his fears, and immediately started to comment on each of them. “Beichen Yan, your Vermilion Bird is indeed great. A second-grade totem is worthy of praise, but there is no lack of first-grade totems in the Ancestral Court. You must not be complacent.
“Black Fury, your earth burly bear is pretty strong and has a physical body like that of iron, but you need to improve your psyche...”
...
“As for you, Fang Yuan!” Yan Luo finally looked at Fang Yuan. “Do you know why I chose you?”
“Perhaps it’s because of my saber skills?” Fang Yuan pretended to be baffled.
“It’s comprehension!” Yan Luo sighed. “We barbarians generally don’t have strong comprehension and can only rely on our perception for intents and nomological laws...
“When Beichen Yan and the rest reach the Materialization realm, their totems will automatically produce the most suitable magical power for them. When they reach the Primordial Core realm, they will be able to condense their true ‘Destiny Magical Power’. Through continuous practice, they gain insights and improve their nomological laws and intents...
“Your comprehension is better than most, so there are some minute possibilities that you can master other intents and nomological laws not only through your totem but also through your own comprehension!
“There are 108,000 nomological laws in the world. The more you comprehend, the higher your chances of transcending the tribulation... Of course, it’s too early to talk about this now!”
“I see. Thank you for your guidance!” Fang Yuan felt hope. This world might be slightly higher-level than the Mental Demon Realm. Exposure to the content of nomological laws is so early on...
Above nomological laws were Great Daos!
Perhaps there are people in the Ancestral Court who comprehended a complete Great Dao and are comparable in strength to Demon Gods!
Barbarians can only rely on their Destiny Magical Powers because their comprehension isn’t high!
For example, if the Destiny Magical Power of a warrior was the Modest Wind Technique, after forming the magical power and constantly using it, they would perceive the Modest Wind’s nomological laws before finally comprehending it completely.
Yan Luo favored Fang Yuan for his possibility of directly comprehending nomological laws from secret manuals.
Moreover, the more complete nomological laws he could comprehend during the Apotheosis realm, the higher his chances of transcending the tribulation.
“However, you also have a weakness. Your totem grade is too low!” Yan Luo reminded solemnly. “You have to be cautious when inscribing magical powers at the Materialization realm. Also, you will experience a period of adjustment after choosing your Destiny Magical Power in the Primordial Core realm.”
Third-grade totems and above had Innate Magical Powers, and these magical powers would naturally become Destiny Magical Powers in the Primordial Core realm.
However, those below third grade did not have such a good thing.
Destiny Magical Powers were definitely the most suitable for bloodline warriors and were also the easiest to comprehend nomological laws from.
This was why the barbarians put so much attention on anyone with third-grade totems and above.
“I understand...” Fang Yuan blinked.
He had been a Netherheaven Demon God who had comprehended several complete Great Daos. What was there to be afraid of even if he was in a different universe with different nomological laws and Great Dao powers?
“Fang Yuan, I will definitely surpass you in the Ancestral Court!” Black Fury regained a lot of confidence after hearing all this.
“Hehe...” Yan Luo sneered. “Black Fury, you’ll have a lot of catching up to do then. You should know that Fang Yuan is already at the threshold of comprehending nomological laws.”
“What?” Not only was Black Fury shocked, but even Beichen Yan and Ivy turned to Fang Yuan doubtfully.
“The nomological laws are in everything in our world, in every place we live!” Yan Luo sighed. “Fang Yuan’s saber skills are already extraordinary, and he has comprehended Saber Will! After that is Saber Intent! As long as he can comprehend a bit of Saber Intent, he will have basic mastery of the Nomological Laws of Saber! It has one of the strongest attack powers among the numerous nomological laws and can’t be underestimated!
“If I comprehend Sword Intent, would I also have basic mastery of the Nomological Laws of Sword?” Beichen Yan’s eyes shone.
“You can. But I don’t recommend it because the difficulty level... is very high! Out of ten third-grade individuals at the Materialization realm, if only five can comprehend from their own magical power and reach basic mastery of nomological laws, then not one barbarian among millions can comprehend the intent from ordinary weapons!” Yan Luo warned solemnly.
“You know why your father, Beichen Yan, didn’t tell you about this? He’s afraid you’d get distracted and tread on the wrong path!
“Remember, it is best to cultivate your Destiny Magical Power for all third-great totems and above!”
“Understood, Sir!” they replied in unison.
Fang Yuan’s lips curled up slightly. Saber Intent?
In fact, he had already broken through to reach basic mastery of Saber Intent when he had cultivated the Chaotic Cloak Saber Technique to the peak and obtained his research results from Brutal Moon’s magical power manual.
It would not have been difficult to defeat Beichen Yan in the finals if he had used it in conjunction with his totem.
However, that would bring too much attention to him and would make him a target of the Beichen tribe. The gains would not have been worth the losses.
It seemed exactly the case now.
“And you, Fang Yuan! Comprehending Saber Intent is not something that can be done overnight. You can’t rush, but you can’t stagnate either!”
“Understood!”
...
Seven days later.
The four-winged Griffin swooshed down in front of a building.
“We’ve arrived at the Barbarian Ancestral Court!”
Fang Yuan looked over and saw a vast number of roughly-built buildings. At the end of the many buildings, there was an earth-colored giant mountain.
“The Ancestral Court is the core of us barbarians. As new members, you can only live and cultivate at the bottom of this mountain in this Barbarian Palace. You will only be permitted on the Holy Mountain after reaching the Primordial Core realm!”
Yan Luo’s voice carried a trace of admiration. “Your status will be higher as you progress through the realms. Your residence on the Holy Mountain will continue to rise as well. Several Immortal Patriarchs inhabit the peak! Unfortunately, I have never seen them...”
Black Fury glanced at Beichen Yan and asked loudly, “Master Yan Luo, do you live on the Holy Mountain?”
“Haha... I luckily condensed my Primordial Core a few months ago!” Yan Luo laughed with satisfaction.
“Within the Barbarian Palace, there’s a Combat Skills Hall and Magical Powers Hall, but I feel the most important place is the Dao Comprehension Cliff!”
He brought the five of them to a place below the Holy Mountain.
Many were already there, staring attentively at the cliff.
“This is...”
As soon as Fang Yuan laid eyes on the numerous wall carvings on it, his eyes lit up.
“This Dao Comprehension Cliff was left behind by the experts of various barbarian generations. The lowest among them was at the perfection of the Primordial Core realm. There are also some from Immortal Patriarchs...” Yan Luo introduced proudly.
“They left their realizations about the nomological laws on the cliff in all shapes and forms. After forming your magical power, come here if you meet bottlenecks in the process of comprehending nomological laws. Find the most comfortable mural to you. You will gain something!
“Lastly, I’ll bring you to register and receive an identification token. You will become part of the Ancestral Court!
“You have three years in the Ancestral Court. Cultivate well or go out and hunt fierce beasts to perceive nomological laws through battle... You will be expelled if you can’t advance onto the Holy Mountain within three years!”
...
“Barbarian Hall?”
Fang Yuan looked at the hall and followed Yan Luo.
“This token is proof that you are a disciple of the Ancestral Court. You have to be careful. There are no restrictions on battling within the Ancestral Court!” The barbarian responsible for the registration ‘Nine Leave’ explained thoroughly. “You can choose one technique from the Magical Powers Hall and one from Combat Skills Hall for free with this token. You’ll need to exchange for more.”
“Hmm? Fang Yuan from the Flybarb tribe. Only a fifth-grade totem?” He looked at Yan Luo. “How is he counted as a genius?”
“The clam totem is comparable to a fourth-grade totem, and he has comprehended Saber Will. Good enough?” Yan Luo smiled calmly.
“Up to you. He might have comprehended Saber Will, but comprehending Saber Intent is far more difficult, and it is very hard to train a clam totem...”
Nine Leave shook his head and tossed a token to Fang Yuan.
