Chapter 211: Warrior Tribe
During this trip to Qianyuan Lake, Sun Zhe not only took a Super Strong Being as his master but also integrated the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder into his soul, elevating his Qualification once again. However, this was not his greatest achievement; what made Sun Zhe happiest was that under Elder Hai's guidance, he understood the direction of his future cultivation.
As his cultivation gradually improved, the path ahead of him in Cultivation slowly became broader. Until now, Sun Zhe had never had a renowned teacher; he mostly relied on his own feelings to progress in his training. At this point, he couldn't help but feel somewhat unclear about the direction of his future development.
Divine Ability is merely a means; Law is the foundation.
Under Elder Hai's guidance, Sun Zhe had clarified his future development path, focusing primarily on the Way of Thunder Cultivation, with the War Clan Totem as a supplement, while Sword Technique would be his main offensive method.
Sun Zhe still remembered the pressure he felt when confronting Sword Flood before the Thunder Tower. At that time, Sword Flood's cultivation was at Thunder Lord Pinnacle, while he was at Late Stage Thunder Lord; their cultivation levels were not far apart. The real pressure on Sun Zhe came from Sword Flood's comprehension of Destruction Law. It is no coincidence that Destruction Law is considered the most destructive among countless Laws; even Raging Thunder Law pales in comparison.
Sun Zhe believed that as long as he continued to practice Sword Technique, it was not impossible for him to cultivate Destruction Law. Moreover, he now had a feeling that the Four Realms of Swordsmanship taught by the old man was merely the first layer of Sword Technique, while the second layer was what Tulin demonstrated with Human-Weapon Unity. Of course, Sun Zhe only understood this through Elder Hai's guidance.
"Having a teacher really has its benefits, especially one as Super Strong Being as this..."
Thinking of the Three Thousand Thunder Techniques in the Ethereal Ring, Sun Zhe couldn't help but show a hint of joy. With this book, he would no longer lack any Divine Ability related to thunder; Way of Thunder Cultivation could truly be called his main path.
"It seems you're quite happy..."
A rough voice suddenly rang out in front of Sun Zhe. A massive shadow slowly revealed itself half in Void. Sun Zhe's expression changed drastically, and he immediately retreated several steps until he stopped three zhang away, staring at the figure ahead.
"Barbarian?" Sun Zhe's face darkened as he spoke in a low voice.
The man who suddenly appeared was none other than Barbarian, a War General from the Barbarian Tribe in the Wasteland of Demons. After Sun Zhe stole their tribe's Nine Abyss Savage Tiger Pattern, Barbarian had come out to hunt him down. It took him considerable effort to find Sun Zhe in Wanbingyuan but then encountered Golden Thunder Elder, who used a Divine Ability to send him flying hundreds of miles away. Indeed, Barbarian's luck had been quite tragic.
Sun Zhe remembered that Barbarian had already reached the early stage of Thunder Lord at that time, and after using the War Clan Totem, he could unleash the strength of the mid-stage Thunder Lord. Although Sun Zhe had now reached the peak of the Realm of the Thunder Lord, there was still a significant difference between the Thunder Lord Stage and the Thunder Sovereign Stage. The solidified domain alone could exhaust an ordinary Thunder Lord Stage Cultivator to death, but Sun Zhe was not an ordinary Thunder Lord Stage Cultivator.
With a thought, the Yin Huai Iron Corpse behind him immediately concealed itself beside Sun Zhe. As long as Barbarian showed any intention to attack, he would not hold back at all. With a twist of his right hand, the Black Long Knife formed from the Divine Blade Fragment instantly slid into his palm. He was no longer the powerless child he once was; even if he couldn't necessarily defeat Barbarian, self-preservation was still within reach.
Moreover, they were not far from Qianyuan Lake. Even if things went awry, Sun Zhe could still seek help from his master. If Elder Hai noticed anything, even if Barbarian had ten wings, he wouldn't be able to escape. Looking across the entire continent, there were not many who could escape from Elder Hai's grasp.
Thus, Sun Zhe remained calm!
"You finally came out. I have been waiting here for you for two days."
Looking at the relatively young man before him, Barbarian slowly spoke. He seemed completely unfazed by the changes in Sun Zhe, as if he already knew everything about him.
"I wonder what you are waiting for me here? Are you looking to reclaim the pattern of the Nine Abyss Blood Tiger, or do you want to take me back to your tribe for punishment?"
Being followed for such a long time would make anyone feel uncomfortable, and Sun Zhe's expression darkened slightly. Although he had stolen the Beast Soul of the Nine Abyss Blood Tiger from the Barbarian Tribe, it was not done intentionally. Furthermore, if it hadn't been for the timely intervention of the Golden Thunder Elder back at Wanbingyuan, he might have already died at the hands of a Barbarian. Therefore, he spoke without any politeness.
"I watched your previous Selection Trial. Your other War Clan Totem was supplemented by Lord Chi You, right? You used it quite well."
Ignoring Sun Zhe's sarcasm, Barbarian asked casually. Although during his battle with Tulin, Sun Zhe had only used the pattern of the Nine Abyss Blood Tiger, both versions of the War Clan Totem were inherently linked; without one, it would be impossible to summon the other’s Beast Soul. This was something most people couldn't discern, but how could a fellow possessor of the War Clan Totem, like Barbarian, not know?
Thus, he understood that Sun Zhe had completed his own set of the War Clan Totem and had mastered its usage.
"You know about Lord Chi You?"
At this moment, Sun Zhe realized that something was different about Barbarian. He could sense no hostility from him at all. Could it be that he had waited all this time not to hunt him down? Moreover, judging by what Barbarian said, it seemed he had also met with Chiyou. This made Sun Zhe furrow his brows slightly.
"I'll tell you a story..."
As soon as the words fell, the Barbarian immediately leaped down the mountain. Watching the Barbarian's descending figure, Sun Zhe's gaze flickered slightly. With a wave of his right hand, he also followed the Barbarian down.
"Make yourself comfortable."
The Barbarian casually found a spot to sit on the ground and greeted Sun Zhe without caring how he responded, beginning to narrate his tale.
"This story starts from Ancient Times, of course, I wasn't born back then..."
"In Ancient Times, various tribes coexisted, and humanity was just one among many tribes, not remarkable in any way. If it weren't for some strong individuals within humanity possessing Supreme Techniques, humanity might have fallen to the level of servants among the tribes. Even so, at the beginning, humanity was still in a disadvantaged position among the tribes."
"In order to change humanity's status, everyone within humanity worked hard to cultivate. When facing those powerful races with extraordinary gifts, humans were still too weak. At this time, a faction within humanity known as the War Clan suddenly caught everyone's attention. The people of the War Clan did not cultivate Divine Ability; they focused solely on physical training. The members of the War Clan were fearless and were the best warriors in the world. When a million members of the War Clan emerged together, all the Ancient tribes turned pale with fear. The peak experts within the War Clan were comparable to war gods; even deities trembled before them!"
"At that time, due to the rise of the War Clan, humanity's status rapidly improved. The War Clan, as a faction of humanity, stood tall among all tribes and was considered one of the peak races in Ancient Times."
"But everything changed after that..."
At this point, a hint of terror flashed in the Barbarian's eyes. His large hands gripped tightly onto a branch beneath him, snapping it easily as if it were a twig. Yet this could not suppress his fear; his black pupils suddenly contracted as if witnessing something extremely frightening.
"What exactly happened then?"
Sun Zhe immediately followed up with a question. There seemed to be a great secret hidden within this story—one that explained why the War Clan fell from glory. Even Sun Zhe couldn't help but feel curious.
"That entire land turned into a Black World; darkness replaced everything. It was a Cataclysm, and everyone was filled with terror... After that... I don't know what happened... Our branch then arrived at this Thunder Continent. The so-called Barbarian Tribe is merely a facade; in reality, as you know, we are all members of the War Clan, and our tribe is also known as the Warrior Tribe!"
"Sun Zhe, although I once hunted you down, your War Clan Totem ultimately comes from our tribe. Our tribe has also bestowed some fortune upon you, so you can be considered half a member of the War Clan. Given this, I hope you can help me with something. As long as you agree, I, Barbarian, am willing to meet any conditions you set."
The Barbarian stared intently at Sun Zhe, and in his eyes, which had never yielded, there was a hint of pleading.
"What do you want me to do?"
What had happened was no longer a matter of curiosity for Sun Zhe; it had turned into fear. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the shock within him and asked the Barbarian.
"Although my branch of the War Clan has fallen on this Thunder Continent, Lord Chi You once told me that my War Clan has not been completely extinguished. They still live on the Nine Continents Mainland. I know you have passed the selection and can enter the Nine Continents Mainland. I hope you can inform the elders of the Warrior Tribe on the Nine Continents Mainland about us, so they know that their kin did not perish in that Cataclysm."
Looking quietly at the Barbarian before him, Sun Zhe understood his feelings. Their tribe was just a small offshoot of the War Clan, and like Sun Zhe, the Nine Continents Mainland was their homeland. However, unlike Sun Zhe, they could not return through the Selection Trial of the Thunder Continent. Yet they still wanted the Warrior Tribe on the mainland to know of their existence.
They simply wished to recognize their ancestors and return to their roots!
"Alright, as long as Sun Zhe does not die, I will fulfill my promise!"
Without averting his gaze from this former enemy before him, there was no hint of jest in Sun Zhe's eyes. He rarely made promises, but he had never broken one!
