The Ancient Barbarian Tribe Bloodline Awakens
The Four Immortals of High Antiquity were invited by the Immortal Fairy on several occasions to visit her fairy abode and savor rare delicacies.
Due to the unique nature of the Immortal Fairy's cooking, she has extremely high requirements for the quality of both the food and the tableware.
Chopsticks, bowls, tablecloths... all of these have survived countless hardships without breaking, having withstood the dual tests of time and the world, making them extremely precious.
These tableware items inevitably bear the imprint of the five immortals.
"This also reflects how invincible we Five Immortals of High Antiquity are. Without making any move, just sitting there, we can make objects absorb our aura, which has not dissipated even after 300,000 years!" The Immortal Fairy boasted, praising herself vigorously.
Or perhaps seeing old objects put me in a good mood.
Lu Yang: "..."
But thinking about it carefully, it's not so bad. Getting a celestial item for four thousand Spirit Stone is a great deal.
Moreover, this cloth is indestructible; it's definitely a good product.
"It's a pity you can't use this cloth," the Immortal Fairy said regretfully, leaving Lu Yang speechless.
"Why?"
"I once refined this tablecloth. Even though I died once, the fact that I refined it will not disappear. Therefore, only I can use this tablecloth."
"So, I spent four thousand Spirit Stone and asked Junior Sister Tao to bid on this, just to buy you a tablecloth?"
The Immortal Fairy said sincerely, "Second Master, I will remember your kindness."
In reality, when Tao Yaoye saw Lu Yang receive the red silk, her expression changed from excitement to disappointment, then hope was ignited, and then hope was shattered—a rather complex series of emotions.
"Senior Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Yang sighed, "It's nothing, I just got ripped off once."
As he spoke, he put the tablecloth into his identity jade pendant.
It failed.
"Fairy, please allow your family's tablecloth to enter my identity jade pendant."
"Oh."
The tablecloth is an item belonging to the Immortal Fairy and cannot be directly placed into her identity jade pendant.
After auctioning off the Spirit Stone of the twin lotus blossoms to Meng Jingzhou, the waiter also gave him three talismans in a jade box.
Three Spirit Transformation level directional teleportation talismans can be used to escape from attacks by Spirit Transformation level demons, or to teleport Spirit Transformation level demons to the Demon Suppression Pass to their deaths; they have multiple uses.
"Let's go, it's time to train in the dense forest," Lu Yang called to the group.
The four did not forget their purpose in coming to the dense forest, and set off directly from the auction house into the forest.
This time, the Eagle Mountain Five were not with them.
Lu Yang and the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain had discussed it and concluded that most of the early and Meng Jingzhou -stage Golden Core Demon Beast they encountered on the outskirts of the dense forest posed little challenge to Lu Yang.
To truly achieve the goal of training, one needs to explore in depth and enter the gathering place of late-stage Golden Core Demon Beast.
As a result, the Eagle Mountain Five Heroes' cultivation level was insufficient to guarantee their own safety. Moreover, since they had been active on the outskirts for a long time, they knew little about the deeper layers of the dense forest, so their role was minimal.
"Senior Brother Lu, isn't it too fast for us to rush into fighting a late-stage Golden Core Demon Beast? Shouldn't we start with Foundation Establishment Late Stage beast first?" Tao Yaoye asked with some concern.
She and Man Gu have just reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, so they should proceed cautiously and start with battles against opponents of the same level.
Tao Yaoye's opponents of the same level were either Lu Yang or the strongest Foundation Establishment Realm, and she had never won a single match against them.
Moreover, as an Ascension Immortal Body, she should have been more talented than someone with a single Spirit Root, yet she could only rank third in her class. Therefore, she had very little confidence in her combat strength.
Lu Yang laughed and said, "Junior Sister Tao, have more confidence. As a prodigy of our Foundation Establishment Realm who can defeat you. Challenging those of higher levels isn't as difficult as you imagine."
"Don't even mention facing Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Beast, you would definitely win even against early to mid -Golden Core stage monsters. In that case, you wouldn't achieve the desired training effect."
Man Gu, standing to the side, suddenly realized. "I thought Brother Lu was worried about running into those enemies whose heads you shaved in the same spot, which would cause a lot of trouble, so he went deeper into the dense forest. I was too naive!"
Lu Yang: "..."
Why are you speaking such blunt truths?
The area surrounding the dense forest is now filled with Lu Yang's enemies. If Lu Yang dares to show his face, he will attract countless people to hunt him down.
"By the way, Junior Sister Tao, could you create an illusion for me?"
"What illusion?"
Lu Yang touched his newly grown hair and smiled sheepishly, "It's just an illusion that makes us think our hair is still the same as before."
Meng Jingzhou nodded as well.
Tao Yaoye: "... Okay."
She cast a slight spell, causing the four to enter an illusion. The only difference between the illusion and reality was that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had grown thick hair.
"I'll find a late-stage Golden Core Demon Beast first, so my junior sister can practice her skills," Lu Yang said. Then, in his spiritual space, he asked the Immortal Fairy to open her divine sense and search for the nearest late-stage Golden Core Demon Beast.
"Fairy, I beg you."
"I can help you, but I want to activate the barbarian bloodline in this little barbarian first." The Immortal Fairy rarely saw her own masterpiece and wanted to lend a hand.
The barbarian tribes lack detailed records about the Ancient Barbarian Tribe; otherwise, Man Gu would have been unaware of the existence of the Immortal Fairy.
Meanwhile, Man Gu doesn't know how to activate the Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline and is currently in the exploration stage.
In the past, Ancient Barbarian Tribe would gradually activate their bloodlines as their cultivation level increased, which was too inefficient.
With the help of the immortal fairy, the process of activating the bloodline of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe will be greatly shortened.
"The Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline has been activated. This little barbarian has an overwhelming advantage when facing Demon Beast, which will be of great help to you!"
Lu Yang thought about it and realized that this made sense.
"Man Gu, I will now tell you how to activate your Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline. Be prepared."
Although he didn't know why Brother Lu knew how to activate his bloodline, Man Gu knew that Brother Lu wouldn't lie to him.
"Okay, I'm ready."
In the spiritual realm, the Immortal Fairy says one thing, and in reality, Lu Yang says the same thing to the Man Gu.
"The bloodline of the Ancient Barbarian Tribe originated from the Immortal Fairy, a blessing from the immortals. You must open your arms and shout 'May the Immortal Fairy live forever!' three times, and your body will heat up. This is the initial manifestation of bloodline awakening."
Upon hearing this, Man Gu was greatly surprised, never expecting that their Ancient Barbarian Tribe originated from the Immortal Fairy.
"Next, you must sing praises of the Immortal Fairy's status, calling her a supreme being, the head of the Five Immortals, incomparable and irreplaceable."
"The praise should be sung three times."
"Did you remember that?" Lu Yang understood; the awakening ceremony was actually just flattering the Immortal Fairy.
"Uh... what was the first line again? 'The Immortal Fairy has passed away'?"
"The immortal fairy will live forever!"
Man Gu opened his arms and shouted to the sky:
"May the immortal fairy live forever!"
"May the immortal fairy live forever!"
"May the immortal fairy live forever!"
Three True Intention shouts startled the birds in the trees, causing them to fly away.
As the awakening ritual progressed step by step, Man Gu felt his blood boiling, as if it were on fire.
His body was bright red, his face contorted in pain, he grimaced, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead. He felt as if his body was about to explode.
"Huff--Huff--" Man Gu's bloodline gradually returned to normal, and the heart-wrenching feeling gradually disappeared.
How are you feeling?
"I feel full of energy!"
"Then..."
Before Lu Yang could finish saying "good," he heard the sound of Demon Beast running around in the distance.
The sounds came from multiple sources, coming from all directions, all aimed at this place.
Boom--
Trees crashed down, and a scaly Demon Beast with bloodshot eyes stared intently at Man Gu.
Boom--
Behind the four, another Demon Beast appeared, staring at Man Gu as if it had seen an enemy.
One after another, Golden Core stage Demon Beast appeared, surrounding the four of them.
The Demon Beast's target was clear: Man Gu.
"Senior brother, is this what you meant by finding a late-stage Golden Core Demon Beast for me to practice on?" Tao Yaoye asked in a low voice, having never seen such a grand display before.
"Fairy, what's going on?!" Lu Yang realized that there was a problem with the Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline in Man Gu's body.
"Hmm, it seems the Ancient Barbarian Tribe bloodline wasn't fully activated, failing to suppress the Demon Beast and instead enraging Demon Beast... It's alright, this was all within my expectations!"
"Fairy, look me in the eyes and say it again."
The immortal fairy guiltily glanced away, saying, "This is a test from an immortal."
