"I really wasn't just playing around!"
At the border between the Ink Lands and the Western Desert, outside the towering Duan Nan Pass, a golden bell-shaped rune appeared on the back of Li Yu's right hand.
This was a totem.
This was the totem Li Yu had created.
With this totem, it would be easier for Li Yu to blend into the Western Desert and study the method of "Creation of all living beings."
"Totems require offerings of incense and worship from people. You can't just make a random mark and call it a totem."
Li Yu raised his right hand and looked at the Golden Bell Totem on the back of it, smiling broadly. "Why must it be worship? Fear works just as well!"
In the barbaric age, the earliest Totem Spirits had never been born from worship and offerings, but from fear and reverence.
That was why Li Yu had been "playing" with people in the Ink Lands.
The name "Golden Bell Old Devil" had already spread widely throughout the Ink Lands.
That was fear. That was reverence.
Using that fear and reverence, Li Yu transformed the Emperor Yu Bell into a totem and branded it onto the back of his hand.
As a result, he now exuded the distinctive totem aura of the Western Desert. Anyone who saw him would think he was a Western Desert totem cultivator.
He strode openly into Duan Nan Pass, where totem cultivators from the various Western Desert tribes came and went throughout the city.
"Now I just need to find a tribe to join."
To study the Dragon Taming Secret Arts and the Dao of Creation, he needed all kinds of experimental materials.
Li Yu could hardly spend all his time roaming the mountains to capture exotic beasts and gather herbs.
