Carefree Path of Dreams

“After using Saber Intent, I can completely sweep away anyone at the Predatory realm!”

Fang Yuan put away his Black Profound Saber, looked at the terrified youths, and left the ring.

Before reaching the Materialization realm, even a first-grade totem was just the manifestation of the essence of an illusionary spirit.

And this form was obviously nothing in front of Saber Intent!

When Saber Intent appeared, it would sweep away all totems!

The totem and the bloodline warrior were linked. If their totem was chopped, they would also suffer mental wounds, and falling into a comatose state for a few days was getting off lightly.

“Even if they don’t use their totem and fight me using purely martial arts, even Xu Chen would lose… But it’s only good this time. Next time, the ones challenging me will definitely be in the Materialization realm!”

The proud barbarians would never start with Materialization cultivators bullying others.

However, the Predatory realm seniors were all swept away, and those in the Materialization realm would certainly come for him.

Once the totem materialized, Saber Intent would still hurt them, but the result was unlikely to be like what had happened today.

“Fang Yuan… You…”

Beichen Yan, Ivy, and the other few stared blankly, feeling as though they no longer recognized Fang Yuan.

“Haha. I had some gains listening to Yan Luo’s lecture!” Fang Yuan explained and immediately left for the Combat Skills Hall.

…

“Saber techniques… I only have basic mastery of nomological laws, so I’ll decide after I reach large success with them…”

He found several bookshelves on saber techniques.

“Hmm? Explanation of Saber Techniques, what arrogance!”

He found this book after a quick glance.

“Saber techniques are easy to learn but difficult to master. Only one out of ten thousand people will become outstanding, and only those who can master Saber Intent can be considered extraordinary!”

“Above Saber Will is Saber Intent, and above Saber Intent is Saber Realm!”

…

“Saber Realm?” Fang Yuan digested it. “Saber Intent will continue to strengthen, and in the end, it will form something similar to a domain in which Saber Intent is everywhere? That’s appropriate!

“If I can advance to Saber Realm, it is the sign of large success in the Nomological Laws of Saber, and then I will only be one step away from perfection!

“The Nomological Laws of Saber will reach perfection through searching within myself and exploring the heavens outside!”

He flipped to the end and could not help nodding. “These are some quintessence… signature is Saber King? Quite an aggressive nickname.”

In fact, after reaching the Saber Intent realm, it was to pursue the meaning and forget the shape. The ordinary saber moves were basically useless, and you could only rely on your hard work to progress.

This book explained the higher realms that he would encounter later, so Fang Yuan understood that the Saber King who wrote this book must have reached the perfection stage in Saber Nomological Laws.

“Generally speaking, the Materialization realm might use magical powers as a springboard to perceive nomological laws, but only a handful can reach basic mastery. Even within the Barbarian Palance, most won’t reach this stage!

“Only after they reach the Primordial Core realm and form their Destiny Magical Power will their speed of comprehension increase and will they reach basic mastery of nomological laws. This is also the sorrow of barbarians. Their comprehension ability is too weak!

“Basically, anyone who can reach the perfection stage in nomological laws should be an expert at the Apotheosis realm! Occasionally, there are some in the Primordial Core realm, but those people are monsters… Perhaps Chihun was one such person. Unfortunately, he fell too early…”

Fang Yuan left the Combat Skills Hall with the Explanation of Saber Techniques, returned to his room, and sat cross-legged.

“I’ve redeemed all my benefits. Anything more will require me to exchange with something. The Barbarian Palace only takes materials and mission contributions from the surrounding fierce beasts. This is to encourage us to hunt and fight…”

He suddenly felt a tinge of dissatisfaction. “There is no method to cultivate the totem in the Predatory realm even in the Barbarian Palace. It seems like you can only do so in the Materialization realm… Really, so crude!”

He was also someone in awe at the same time.

Just by devouring bloodlines and spirit essence, the barbarians of this world could advance to the Materialization realm and come into contact with the power of nomological laws. This was absolutely unthinkable in other worlds.

“This represents the absolute power of Connates, like ancient humans. All humans were born as Connate Godfiends…”

“Hmm? This feeling!”

Fang Yuan released his clam totem, and a throbbing instantly grappled his heart. “Am I going to advance to the Materialization realm?”

Even Beichen Yan would not be able to catch up to this speed.

But he understood the reason after some thought.

First, the requirement for his clam totem to advance was not high. The higher the grade the totem was, the more difficult it was to advance. Second, he cultivated his totem well in the Predatory realm. Both the water beasts and the three-tailed spiritual fox were very suitable for the clam totem. The power of Blood Qi in his body was pure, which was greatly beneficial to his cultivation.

“Well, let’s start breaking through then.”

It was something good anyway. Fang Yuan sat cross-legged and started anticipating the breakthrough of the clam totem.

…

The Holy Mountain of the Ancestral Court.

“Nine Leave requests an audience with Old Patriarch!” Nine Leave told the maid and stood respectfully in front of a palace at the waist of the mountain.

This palace was built with black stones and had a coarse atmosphere to it. The most important thing was that it was closer to the mountain top.

The status of a person on the Holy Mountain was determined by the altitude of their residence.

Before long, the maid returned and said, “Old Patriarch invites you in!”

“Thank you!”

Nine Leave took a deep breath, stepped into the main hall, and knelt down, not daring to even lift his head. “Greeting to Old Patriarch!”

This old patriarch might not be an Immortal Patriarch, but he had achieved the perfection of the Apotheosis realm and could welcome the lightning tribulation at any time. He had even lived for more than three hundred years and was ‘old’ in the truest sense of the word.

Barbarians could increase their lifespan by three hundred years in the Primordial Core realm and a thousand years in the Apotheosis realm.

Of course, immortality would still require them to transcend the lightning tribulation and become an Immortal!

It was a pity that the heavens were ruthless. Under the lightning tribulation, the survival rate was so low that it was almost insignificant. Nothing but death awaited them if they failed the tribulation. If they were lucky, they might be able to reincarnate, but unlucky would truly be dead.

“Oh, it’s Nine Leave. What’s the matter?” A voice floated down to him from above.

“Reporting to Old Patriarch, this disciple is in charge of the Barbarian Hall and has found a genius today!” Nine Leave took a deep breath. “He comprehended Saber Intent at the Predatory realm!”

“Us barbarians… our comprehension is too poor! Anyone able to reach basic mastery of nomological laws in the Materialization Realm is a genius. It’s truly rare to reach this stage in the Predatory realm!”

The misty voice asked, “Who is he, and what is his totem?”

“Fang Yuan from the Flybarb tribe, clam totem!”

“Clam? That’s troublesome… Almost none of the cultivation techniques in the Materialization realm are suitable for him. He’ll only be able to cultivate with a few water element cultivation techniques!”

Hearing this, Nine Leave immediately knew that this Fang Yuan had yet to hold any weight in the eyes of the old patriarch.

“Even so, it’s quite a feat. Tell Mo He!”

“Understood!” Nine Leave bowed and backed out of the main hall. He only gave a long sigh and shook his head regrettably. “What a pity…”

He started toward a palace below.

…

The sky was clear.

Fang Yuan stretched lazily, and the clam materialization flew out with a thought.

If the totem before was just a two-dimensional painting, then the materialization was now full of substance and life.

“Using that little trick in the Predatory realm to breakthrough to the Materialization realm was almost natural!”

Fang Yuan sighed contentedly. “The Materialization realm is the true beginning of the cultivation. I can ask the Barbarian Palace for a cultivation technique… Unfortunately, I already discovered yesterday that there wasn’t a fundamental cultivation technique for illusions here. It would be a waste of the clam’s gift if I were to go with the water element!”

“Let’s go!” His mind moved, and his body changed instantly, leaving only a residual image in the room.

This was the power of the wind!

“After obtaining the Modest Wind Magical Power and the Chaotic Cloak Saber Technique, I not only have basic mastery of Saber Intent but have also grasped a bit of the Nomological Laws of Wind…”

This was Fang Yuan’s trump card. He obviously would not show it and had kept it secret until now.

He arrived at the Dao Comprehension Cliff.

“Wind… and saber?”

He looked at the many carvings on the cliff, and his eyes brightened after pacing around. “Saber carvings?”

It had to be said that the comprehension of the barbarians was too low, and the Holy Mountain must have spent a great deal of effort to build this Dao Comprehension Cliff. It was a treasure to Fang Yuan.

He gazed at the saber carvings and suddenly fell into a kind of enlightenment.

“Saber… The line between life-and-death, firm, brave, tyrannical, fierce!”

“Fighting with the saber and fighting with heaven and earth is the true meaning of cultivation!”

…

After some time, Fang Yuan sobered and smiled. “Some things were left unexplained in the Explanation of Saber Techniques, so it was here, the path from Saber Intent to Saber Realm! Continuous comprehension of the Nomological Laws of Saber and the strengthening of Saber Intent will finally turn into an ‘External Saber Qi’, which can match magical powers! Cultivation to Saber Qi being everywhere is when I reach Saber Realm!”

“External Saber Qi? Doesn’t seem to be too difficult!”

Fang Yuan pulled out the Black Profund Saber and swung it at will. “The power required to stimulate Saber Qi wasn’t so easy during the Predatory realm, but it’s easy now that I’m using nomological power!”

He cultivated for a while before he went to the Barbarian Hall.

The carvings on the Dao Comprehension Cliff might be treasures, but he also needed a key.

Fang Yuan had cultivated the Chaotic Cloak Saber Technique and understood the Modest Wind Magical Power, so he was able to comprehend more when he looked at the carvings relating to wind and saber.

The other murals were difficult to get started with because he did not have the foundation in this universe.

“Moreover, it’s better to specialize. I should still reach large success with one Dao path first before looking at the rest.”

“Haha. Fang Yuan, you’re here!” Nine Leave said excitedly when he saw Fang Yuan. He handed a beast skin to him. “This is for you!”

“This is?” Fang Yuan took it and read the message on it. The strokes were like sabers. “You can be my disciple if you can comprehend Saber Qi before you reach the Primordial Core realm—Saber King Mo He!”

“Congratulations, Saber King Mo He is rather famous on the Holy Mountain,” Nine Leave said happily.

“Thank you!” Fang Yuan put away the Explanation of Saber Techniques with some pity in his heart. Seems like I’ve yet to really move them. Otherwise, he would have immediately accepted me as a disciple without having to go through a trial.

This way, I’ll only obtain limited benefits in the Barbarian Palace. I’ll have to get more resources from outside… the land of inheritance!
