1049 Defea (1/2)

”Blood jade… Only Immortals can produce them. The core disciples attach a strand of their spiritual will to it, and it displays their life-and-death status. It's even possible for some of the sounds and images they experienced before death to transmit back. However, in some hopeless situations, secret manual storehouses, or even immortal abodes, there is no such effect!”

Within the Magical Powers Hall, Fang Yuan was reading an introduction of mystic techniques with great interest. ”Xu Lie was unfortunate. The Pantheon Palace is one of the best ways to isolate him from the blood jade. ”

He placed another book down and contemplated. ”Within the Magical Powers Hall, even though there are first-grade peerless magical powers, unfortunately… there are no time ones, and the rest aren't really compatible with my Clam Dragon materialization.”

Illusion-type totems were scarce to begin with, and it was even more so for illusion magical powers.

Especially with Fang Yuan's standards, he had very little interest in ordinary magical powers, and they had to be at least great magical powers.

”For example, Xu Lie's Flame Wings Magical Power allows flight and is pretty decent. Too bad the element isn't suitable for me… Eh?”

After Fang Yuan flipped through a few pages, his eyes gleamed as he found one. ”Magical power—Ride on Clouds! Allows flight through manipulating water fog!”

Flying was a privilege reserved for those at the Apotheosis realm and above. However, some magical powers were able to do this in advance.

This was naturally very beneficial for Fang Yuan. ”It's compatible too. Let's make the exchange!”

On the materialization, in addition to the Destiny Magical Power, you could also add other magical powers. However, at Primordial Core, you could only choose one Destiny Magical Power.

And Fang Yuan would absolutely not waste such a valuable Destiny Magical Power slot on low-grade magical powers.

”Although the Ride on Clouds Magical Power isn't as fast as the Flame Wings Magical Power, it excels in concealment… Before the Apotheosis realm, it can increase my mobility. As for the other magical powers… they don't even hold a candle to my Saber Qi. Let's ignore them!”

Fang Yuan shook his head in disappointment and arrived at the Combat Skills Hall.

Obviously, the martial arts here were even more unsightly to him. Even Saber King Mo He's saber technique manual was just average to Fang Yuan.

”I haven't even seen a trace of the clone mystic techniques that I'm looking for… Of course, even if there were such high-level manuals, they wouldn't be in the Barbarian Palace.”

With a tinge of regret, Fang Yuan went to the Dao Comprehension Cliff once again.

”It's him, Fang Yuan!”

”The first to defeat Dongmu Cai?”

”Senior Sister Dongmu Cai has already ascended the Holy Mountain and become a core disciple. She is incomparable to before!”

”There are plenty of freaks this time. Beichen Yan isn't half bad either. After advancing to the Materialization realm, his Vermilion Bird Flame is at small success, and he is quite amazing when challenging the seniors.”

…

Many curious eyes focused on Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan ignored them and began walking around the Dao Comprehension Cliff.

”After large success in the Nomological Laws of Saber, forming the Saber Realm, the next step is to explore the heavens and the earth and search within myself to obtain Saber Heart! ”

The so-called Saber Heart did not mean to only have saber in mind and nothing else, but rather, a fusing of soul and saber. Once in this state, sabers could unleash their maximum potential.

”On the Holy Mountain, at least Mo He has reached large success in the Nomological Laws of Saber, so it's not surprising that there are saber marks on the Dao Comprehension Cliff…”

After one round, Fang Yuan had to admit that the Illusion Realm's Nomological Laws of Space were indeed extremely rare, and comprehending them was very difficult too. There were no relevant marks on the Dao Comprehension Cliff.

”Looks like… this at least shows that none of the cultivators on the Holy Mountain took the Dao path of the Illusion Realm's nomological laws? Or is someone trying to hide their shortcomings?”

”Since no one has comprehended the Illusion Realm's nomological laws, then the same would obviously be true for the Nomological Laws of Time. However, there is a cliff carving of the Nomological Laws of Life-and-Death. Unfortunately, they're very difficult to understand without a Phoenix totem…”

Fang Yuan looked around, slightly disappointed. ”Forget it. This place is probably just the outer door and not part of the core!”

The main reason why he came back was to search for a clone mystic technique.

Evidently, nothing could satisfy him anymore in the Barbarian Palace.

The only place left was the Holy Mountain!

Fang Yuan looked toward the mountain and appeared hesitant.

The true Ancestral Court only existed on the Holy Mountain. There was a strict rule that Barbarian Palace disciples were unable to ascend if they had not reached the Primordial Core realm.

Even if they had cultivation techniques, wanting to advance to the Primordial Core realm immediately was nothing more than dreaming.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan had a second method.

”Didn't Saber King Mo He say that he would take me in as a disciple if I comprehended Saber Qi?”

In fact, back when he raised the condition, Fang Yuan had already done it, but he merely thought that it was below him.

However, things had changed, and now he had to find a way to infiltrate the Holy Mountain.

”I just need to wait for the right time to show my strength!”

Feeling eyes on him, Fang Yuan snickered in his mind. ”It won't be long…”

”Fang Yuan!” Two young men approached him. One was handsome, while the other's face was as black as coal. They were Beichen Yan and Black Fury. ”You've finally returned.”

”I haven't congratulated you two on your advancement to the Materialization realm!” Fang Yuan greeted them with a smile.

”Ever since you defeated the seniors that challenged you, I've wondered…” Beichen Yan said nonchalantly, ”which one of us is the real genius!”

He was proud and had always been first throughout his life.

But he had suffered his first defeat in the Barbarian Palace.

And Fang Yuan's sudden rise cast a shadow over his heart, making him fear that everything he had won in the past had been intentionally given to him.

This kind of torture was unbearable for a proud man like him.

”Looks like you're definitely going to fight me today!” Fang Yuan sighed.
