Chapter 1025: Clam
Frosty moon.
Fang Yuan was lying on a bed and staring blankly at the moonlight.
“My only purpose in this world is to destroy the Abominable Lord... It would be easy if he were here in this Hundred Thousand Mountains, but unfortunately, that’s unlikely!”
This world was vast, very much so!
According to Ancient’s mories, a bloodline warrior might not ever leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains within their lifeti, and beyond this Hundred Thousand Mountains, there were even bigger tribes and ‘kingdoms’.
“And... my Dao... really disappeared!”
He gazed at himself. At this mont, he was truly an ordinary mortal. He did not even have the stats window anymore.
“Stats window...”
He would be lying if he were to say that he was not disappointed about losing this great cheat.
However, Fang Yuan’s state of mind had long been tempered, and he was not going to imrse himself in these anxieties.
“Yes... the Abominable Lord had the ntal Demon Realm’s help even if I had the help of that light from Huaxia... He bet half a Dao Fruit... The value was far beyond what I bet, so it was impossible for this to be fair with the stakes being so different. This is why my stats window is gone! Is it worth half a Dao Fruit?”
Fang Yuan took a deep breath.
To be honest, he found this bet rather weird.
The Abominable Lord was obviously demonstrating his desperate attack. He should not have been able to resist the power from the burning Dao Fruit, and it was very likely that he would have died.
The reason for this form of betting might be due to the marvelousness of that light from Huaxia, or it could also be a final eruption from the stats window.
After all, this cheat had a lot of secrets that he did not fully understand yet.
“Ah... Yesterday is already gone!” Fang Yuan sighed and regained his spirit. “The next most important thing is this world...”
However, he was shocked again just as he settled down to ditate. “This isn’t right... This world... is not right!”
Even if he had nothing, his experience of crossing over to many worlds as a top Demon God was still there.
Fang Yuan realized that this world had a fundantally different intrinsic quality from the previous worlds!
“This is... a difference in the universe’s natural source. Perhaps I’m no longer in the universe where the ntal Demon Realm is?”
His eyes widened, and he cald down imdiately. “It’s quite possible. Even the Great Daos are different... I really have to restart everything again!”
The universe’s natural source was different, so the ‘Dao paths’ produced were naturally different as well.
This ant that most of Fang Yuan’s insights and knowledge were instantly rendered useless.
“Only a Dao Fruit could maintain itself under the different natural sources of different universes... It seems like this is truly a different universe!”
Fang Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly understood.
The Abominable Lord had burnt half a Dao Fruit, while his stats window and his Netherheaven Great Dao were also considered half a Dao Fruit.
In this way, they ford the value of a complete Dao Fruit.
This sort of power could even break the boundaries of a universe!
“The strong pass of the enemy is like a wall of iron, yet with firm strides, we are conquering its summit...”
Fang Yuan smiled. “Abominable Lord... we are on fair starting points!”
...
“In this world, everything under Dao Fruit is different from the previous universe... Troubleso!”
After careful consideration, Fang Yuan felt it was very troubleso.
The Da Qian World he was born into might be a different dinsion from the ntal Demon Realm, but at least they had an upper-lower relationship, and so rules still applied.
Moreover, perhaps the low-dinsion Da Qian World and all the surrounding worlds were actually subordinate to the high-dinsion ntal Demon Realm!
However, this universe seed to have nothing to do with the ntal Demon Realm. It might even be a higher dinsion than the ntal Demon Realm.
Therefore, under Dao Fruit, all the Great Dao and nomological laws were useless.
“Starting everything afresh. Even as a mortal, what do I have to be afraid of as long as I can cultivate?”
Fang Yuan settled down and started pondering over his capital.
“The outside world might have better cultivation thods, but if I want to survive in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, I can only take the path of a bloodline warrior!
“Bloodline warrior, the first Awakening realm is to cultivate the flesh and strengthen the bloodline before finally awakening a totem! I’ve already done that, but...”
He conjured his totem—a clam shell that continuously spat out fog.
“The higher the totem grade, the greater the potential. Ordinary wild beasts have difficulty breaking through to the next realm... But this isn’t so shell but a clam!
“The clam is a mutated beast in the sea. It is shaped like a shell and can spit out fog to create illusions. It is rumored that they create the mirages at sea!”
This was not knowledge from the tribe, but a mory from his first life.
“It seems like... the light from Huaxia gave a hand in the end? This world... leans in my favor?”
The corner of Fang Yuan’s mouth turned upward.
This minute difference at the start would beco an imnse gap in the end.
“To have such an ability ans that it is a mutated beast, so it should at least be seventh grade... Of course, this high priest is from an ordinary small tribe without much knowledge. For him to mistake it as a shell is reasonable!”
Fang Yuan’s spirit revived after thinking through it.
It felt aweso for trash to make a coback, but it was not the ti for that. For those people without knowledge that thought that his aptitude was not good enough, he had no ti to think about getting back at them.
...
The next day, on a field.
“It’s one in ten thousand to be able to awaken a bloodline and form a totem. Next, I am going to impart a cultivation thod to you!”
A ruddy man in beast hides began to teach Fang Yuan and the rest.
“Yesterday... less than ten of you succeeded in the ceremony out of hundreds. Of course, we had already done a round of selection when you were infants. It really is one in ten thousand!”
Fang Yuan looked around. There were only two worthy of attention—Dark with the horned dragon totem and Moon with the jade rabbit totem! The rest were sixth and seventh grade. There was even one with an eighth-grade tiger totem!
“Okay, so my aptitude is the lowest on the surface! Our Flybarb tribe is just a small tribe after all. It’s already good enough to have so many youngsters who can awaken totems. They don’t have the luxury of nitpicking like the bigger tribes, so... even those at the eighth and ninth-grade would receive training!”
Fang Yuan rejoined.
If he was born in a big tribe, it might have discarded him as trash after yesterday.
But now? He might still be considered trash, but he still had so value to the elders.
“For Totem Cultivation, awakening the bloodline power is the Awakening realm. You have all done that!”
The voice of the huge man in beast hides rang like thunder. “After the Awakening realm, you are at the ‘Elental Energy realm’, which is also known as the ‘Foundation Establishnt realm’. That’s what people outside call it. We call it the ‘Predatory realm’. Why predatory? We want you to go out to kill wild beasts, mutated beast, and even fierce beasts, and seize their bloodline and spirit essence to cultivate your totem!
“The more you kill, the more you accumulate and the stronger your totem becos. You will eventually be able to form a true ‘materialization’. This is the third realm of cultivation, the ‘Materialization realm’! You will beco famous in the Hundred Thousand Mountains if you can achieve this realm!”
Whoosh!
Thunder exploded, and lightning danced wildly.
Roar Roar!
Endless thunder materialized behind the huge man in beast hides.
However, unlike simple totems, it had substance and felt real. It had a lion head, the eyes of a panther, blue scales, and a snake’s tail. Lightning flashes accompanied every roar.
“This is... fourth-grade totem... lightning beast! It is at the Materialization realm and akin to a living creature!” Dark said quietly. “Instructor Brutal Thunder is the strongest in our Flybarb tribe!”
“Your basic martial arts should already be good enough. I’ll now teach you so basic ways to use your bloodline power... and totem secrets!
“After being proficient in it, you will leave the tribe to kill in the Endless Mountains! If you die, you can’t bla others! Don’t dream about returning if you can’t bring your totem to the second stage!”
Brutal Thunder’s teachings were indeed brutal.
“Those with high-grade totems probably receive preferential treatnt. Either this Brutal Thunder or the high priest will be secretly protecting them... They’ll probably leave people like for dead, and I’ll only get more attention if I co back alive!”
Fang Yuan’s heart shook. “I have to increase my ability to protect myself as soon as possible!”
He gave up disclosing the true nature of his totem after so thought.
First, he would not be able to explain how he could recognize it.
Second, totems could not display their abilities before reaching a certain level. The high priest would probably not believe him.
“I have to enter at least the second stage or the mid Predatory realm to be more convincing! I still have to rely on myself at the start!”
Fang Yuan quickly recognized reality and started to practice hard.
“You were all practicing basic martial arts before. Now, I’m going to impart to you the more advanced techniques!”
Brutal Thunder was holding a giant saber. It was black, had a white bone as its handle, and cast poorly. “Saber techniques are easy to learn and extrely suitable for us. I’ll be teaching you the Splashing Wind Saber Technique. There are only three stances. Look closely. The first stance—Chopping Wood!”
He slamd his blade and split a stake in two. “The Chopping Wood stance requires you to pour strength from the waist into the bones...”
This stroke was rough, but it was already rather sophisticated for the Flybarb tribe.
Even the highest aptitude Dark was unlikely to understand it fully.
But Fang Yuan’s eyes lit up. “It might just be a thod of exerting strength, but it seems like there’s still sothing else to it!”
“The second stance—Cutting Wind!
“Third stance—Splashing Wind!”
Brutal Thunder demonstrated it again. “Practice these three stances well. One stance can stimulate most of your body’s strength. It is a very clever technique. You can rely on it to save your life when you et ordinary wild beasts in the mountains!”
He sighed before speaking again, “It’s rumored that beyond the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are so humans whose bloodline power is too weak to awaken, but they can rely on all sorts of cultivation techniques to embark on the path of cultivation. However, their techniques are too complicated. Perhaps no one among a million barbarians can understand them... These three stances were brought back by the tribe’s ancestors from the outside world. It’s said to be the simplified version of a saber technique. Even so, there are only a handful of people in the tribe who could master them!”
