Heavenly Barbarian Sect

"The Tian Huang Barbarian Tribe?" Xiao Han searched his memory; in his nearly two hundred years of life, he seemed to have never heard of such a race!

Is there such a branch among the Barbarian Tribe?

Even if he didn't know, it's impossible that Langya Pavilion wouldn't know even the slightest bit about this Tian Huang Barbarian Tribe over the years, not even their name!

"The Tian Huang Barbarian Tribe were just their former name; now they might be called the Heavenly Barbarian Sect!" Zhu Kun added.

"The Heavenly Barbarian Sect!" Xiao Han understood now, but quickly frowned again.

"Doesn't that Heavenly Barbarian Sect only have one Half-Saint?"

The Heavenly Barbarian Sect is indeed not a force belonging to the Central Plains, but rather a powerful force in the vast southern part of the continent. Their territory borders the Yaori Region, which Xiao Han visited before.

In the land under the rule of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect, almost all the Body Refinement Cultivator. The prevailing cultivation method on the Fierce Qi Continent was to condense Dou Qi into Qi vortexes, then into Dou Crystal, and so on...

But the situation there is different. They have integrated their Dou Qi into every inch of their flesh and blood, making them all highly defensive and resilient, and extremely difficult to deal with.

However, it would be a big mistake to treat the opponent as a moving target. With a stronger body comes additional enhancements, such as greatly increased speed and attack power.

What ordinary people would need to rely on Dou Techniques to achieve at high speeds is their normal speed.

Your ultimate skill is nothing more than a basic attack in the hands of the opponent.

Those Body Refinement Cultivator reached the pinnacle of their skills were truly beings capable of shattering the heavens with their fists and splitting the earth with their feet.

At the same level, ordinary people are no match for them. For those Body Refinement Cultivators, taking on seven opponents at once is commonplace.

Even someone like Xiao Han, who is virtually invincible and can sweep aside his peers, might not be able to achieve the feat of taking on two of those Body Refinement Cultivators at once, and might even lose in a one-on-one fight.

Fortunately, this method is extremely energy-consuming and progresses very slowly; otherwise, the Fierce Qi Continent would probably be full of muscular monsters.

The Heavenly Barbarian Sect is a prime example of Body Refinement Cultivator; each of them is truly tall and strong, easily two or three meters tall, and even the women are incredibly strong, with arms that could support a horse!

However, as far as Xiao Han knew, the strongest person in the Heavenly Barbarian Sect was only Half-Saint, and he was quite old with his blood and energy slightly declining, so it didn't seem like a good choice!

"Half-Saint?" Zhu Kun sneered.

"Kid, you probably don't know the history of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect, do you?" Zhu Kun said, glancing at Xiao Han.

"Please enlighten me, Senior Dragon Emperor!"

"The predecessor of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect was a special race— the Tian Huang Barbarian Tribe."

"If you still don't understand after all this, then..." Zhu Kun felt it necessary to deliver some explosive news.

"That's a race that has existed for tens of thousands of years, with a history far longer than what you now call Ancient Races, almost comparable to my Void Ancient Dragon Tribe."

Hiss~

Xiao Han gasped. He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Barbarian Sect, which was practically worthless in the eyes of outsiders, would have such a background.

What does it mean for a race to survive for tens of thousands of years?

Even a pig, after tens of thousands of years, can become Marshal Tianpeng.

While nothing is absolute, the longer a power has been passed down through generations, the deeper its foundation becomes.

The Void Ancient Dragon, which may not seem like much, was plunged into a period of internal strife lasting ten thousand years if it weren't for Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun's Void Ancient Dragon intrusion into the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode.

If they develop properly, the current Void Ancient Dragon Tribe is definitely no less powerful than the Ancient Soul Clans.

Even now, the Void Ancient Dragon remain a powerful race in the Central Plains.

Seeing that Xiao Han had almost digested the information, Zhu Kun continued, "The Tian Huang Barbarian Tribe are not the ordinary families you Human Race speak of, but a special race from another Fierce Qi Continent — the Barbarian Tribe."

Xiao Han nodded. He was aware of the existence of the Barbarian Tribe, but he had never made that connection before.

"The ancient Tian Huang Barbarian Tribe also possessed extremely terrifying strength, with Dou Di expert presiding over their clan."

Then Zhu Kun said with a hint of melancholy:

"Unforeseen circumstances led to the mysterious disappearance of the clan's Dou Di, and the Tian Huang Barbarian Tribe Clan suffered a mysterious blow, rapidly weakening and forcing them to retreat into seclusion."

"Ultimately, it evolved into the Heavenly Barbarian Sect."

Xiao Han remained silent. The fact that a once-powerful clan had fallen to this state could only be attributed to the cruel twists of fate.

"However, this doesn't mean the Heavenly Barbarian Sect is weak," Zhu Kun warned. Considering that Xiao Han helped him find his daughter, Zhu Kun was still unhappy to see Xiao Han die like this.

Strength and weakness are relative. The current Heavenly Barbarian Sect is only weak compared to its past glory. It cannot be compared vertically, but it is still very powerful horizontally.

"Before I arrived at the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode, the strongest member of the Heavenly Barbarian Sect was a Five-Star Dou Sheng, and he was only four thousand years old. Add to that the Barbarian Tribe's lifespan, which is second only to that of Magical Beast..."

Think about it carefully!

Xiao Han fell into deep thought. He understood what Zhu Kun meant. If that expert from the Heavenly Barbarian Sect were still alive, he would probably be no weaker than Peak Eight-Star or even Nine Star Dou Sheng.

If the Heavenly Barbarian Sect is truly as powerful as the latter claims, then his unprepared incursion would surely lead to his death.

Although he didn't understand why the Heavenly Barbarian Sect would disguise themselves as only Half-Saint, Xiao Han decided to play it safe.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Dragon Emperor," Xiao Han said.

If Xiao Han was initially unwilling to go to the Heavenly Barbarian Sect, after hearing Zhu Kun's words, Xiao Han became even more determined.

Moreover, the Heavenly Barbarian Sect is quite special. In other places, it would be wishful thinking to try to obtain the corpses of powerful figures from the other side, but the Heavenly Barbarian Sect is different.

Xiao Han was still somewhat confident in dealing with the other party.

Just as Xiao Han was talking with Zhu Kun, Candle Flame also came to Xiao Lin's side.

"May I ask what brings you here, senior?" Xiao Lin asked, looking at the Candle Flame in front of him.

Xiao Lin still had some impression of Candle Flame; he was the Elder of the Void Ancient Dragon of the Void who had come with his second uncle. However, Xiao Lin believed he had no connection with him and wondered what his purpose was.

Candle Flame said politely, "I heard that our prince was brought back by the Grand Elder of this academy, and I wish to express my gratitude in person. I hope you can introduce us."

"Of course." Xiao Lin thought it was something serious, after all, Su Qian, as the one who took Zi Yan in, was entitled to know where she was.

Please come with me.

At this moment, Su Qian felt completely dazed. The events of the day made his old and frail heart pound like a rollercoaster.

If it weren't for his overwhelming strength, Su Qian suspected he would have died on the spot.

First, the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda suddenly malfunctioned. Not only did it lose its Heart Fire Body Tempering, but it also emitted a chilling aura that almost trapped all the Elder and disciples inside.

This is simply bizarre. The Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda is suppressing the Fallen Heart Flame, a true Exotic Fire, yet it's emitting Cold Qi. It's inconceivable!

He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't personally investigated and verified the news.

Just as they were speculating whether an ice-attribute treasure, no weaker or even stronger than the Fallen Heart Flame, might have emerged at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda and were about to enter to investigate, the Cold Qi suddenly disappeared, and the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda returned to its original function.

"What kind of things have happened today!" Su Qian rubbed her already thinning head again, looking distressed.

"Old swindler, I'm coming in!" Xiao Lin's stern voice rang out from outside the door.
