"In the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, aside from the sacred land, the Barbarian Cult Ancestral Court, the three most powerful tribes are Beichen, Wangyue, and Xuri..."
A month later, a group from the Fei Man Tribe rode tall Camel Elephants through the forest.
Man Lei took the opportunity to teach the youths.
"The Beichen Tribe we're visiting is the most powerful tribe within a radius of ten thousand li. It has experts in the Core Formation Realm and Spirit Transformation Realm!"
"Core Formation? Spirit Transformation?"
Fang Yuan seized the chance to ask, "What realms are those?"
"We Barbarian tribesmen awaken our totems in the Awakening Realm. After that comes the Plunderer Realm. Once Plunderer Perfection is reached, the totem transforms into a Dharma Form, granting all sorts of divine abilities!"
"After the Dharma Form comes the Core Formation Realm. I don't know much about it, either. It seems that when one reaches that realm, a 'Core Pill' condenses inside the body. Its mysteries are endless, and it can even extend one's lifespan! After that comes the Spirit Transformation Realm! Of course, most of the Old Ancestors in that realm have gone to the Ancestral Court!"
Man Lei explained.
"Awakening, Plunderer, Dharma Form, Core Formation, Spirit Transformation?"
Fang Yuan nodded, more or less understanding the path of cultivation before him.
"Then what is the Beichen Grand Ceremony?"
Man Yue asked.
After advancing, her figure had filled out a little more, adding to her charm. The youths nearby couldn't take their eyes off her.
"The Beichen Grand Ceremony is held once every three years. It's a grand event that brings together all the tribes within ten thousand li! People from the Ancestral Court will be there to watch, too. You'll compete onstage, so do your best and bring glory to the tribe.
