Chapter 259: Activating the Ancient Barbarian Bloodline

The four ancient immortals had been invited by the Immortal Fairy many times to be guests at her immortal residence and taste rare delicacies.

Due to the Immortal Fairy's unique way of cooking, she had extremely high requirements for the quality of food and tableware.

Chopsticks, bowls, tablecloths... they all endured ten thousand tribulations without breaking, passing the dual tests of time and the present world; they could be described as extremely precious.

These tableware items inevitably became stained with the aura of the five immortals.

"This also reflects from the side just how invincible we five ancient immortals are. Without doing anything, just sitting there, we could make objects stained with our aura, which hasn't dissipated even after three hundred thousand years!" the Immortal Fairy boasted, praising herself vigorously.

Or perhaps she was in a good mood after seeing old objects.

Lu Yang: "..."

But thinking about it carefully, it was actually fine. Being able to obtain immortal items for four thousand spirit stones was a huge bargain.

Moreover, this cloth couldn't be damaged; it was definitely good stuff.

"It's a pity, you can't use this cloth," the Immortal Fairy said regretfully, choking Lu Yang.

"Why?"

"This tablecloth was once refined by me. Even if I have died once, the fact that it was refined won't disappear, so only I can use this tablecloth."

"So I spent four thousand spirit stones, asked Junior Sister Tao to bid, just to buy a tablecloth for you?"

The Immortal Fairy said sincerely: "Second-in-command, I will remember your kindness."

In reality, after Tao Yaoye saw Lu Yang get the red silk, his expression changed from excitement to disappointment, then hope ignited, then hope was extinguished; the changes were quite rich.

"Senior Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yang sighed: "Nothing, just played the fool once."

As he spoke, he wanted to put the tablecloth into his identity jade pendant.

It failed.

"Fairy, please let your family's tablecloth enter my identity jade pendant."

"Oh."

The tablecloth was the Immortal Fairy's item and couldn't be put directly into the identity jade pendant.

After the attendant gave Meng Jingzhou the spirit stones for the Twin-Stemmed Lotus, he also gave three talismans encased in jade boxes.

Three Spirit Transformation-level directional teleportation talismans, which could allow one to escape under the attack of a Spirit Transformation stage great demon, and could also teleport a Spirit Transformation stage great demon to Demon Suppression Pass to die; they had many different uses.

"Let's go, it's time to go to the dense forest for training," Lu Yang greeted everyone.

The four of them hadn't forgotten the purpose of coming to the dense forest and set off directly from the auction to enter the dense forest.

This time, the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain did not follow.

Lu Yang had discussed it with the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain; most of the Jin Dan early-to-mid stage demonic beasts encountered on the outskirts of the dense forest posed no challenge to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

If they wanted to achieve the true purpose of training, they needed to explore deeper and enter the gathering place of Jin Dan late-stage demonic beasts.

In this way, the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain didn't have enough cultivation to guarantee their own safety, and the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain had long been active on the outskirts and didn't know much about the deeper layers of the dense forest, so the role they could play was very small.

"Senior Brother Lu, is it progressing too fast for us to rashly fight Jin Dan late-stage demonic beasts? Shouldn't we start from Foundation Establishment late-stage?" Tao Yaoye was a bit worried.

She and Seeing Man Gu had just become Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators and should be steady and solid, starting from battles of the same level.

The opponents of the same level that Tao Yaoye had fought were either Lu Yang or the strongest Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the Five Elements Sect, and she hadn't won a single one.

Moreover, as a Feathering Immortal Body, she should have been stronger than a single spiritual root talent, yet she could only rank third in the same batch, which was why she had very little confidence in her own combat power.

Lu Yang laughed: "Junior Sister Tao, be more confident. As a contemporary heaven-defying genius, there are few in the Foundation Establishment stage who can beat you. Challenging across levels is not as difficult as you imagine."

"Not to mention facing Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts, even if you face Jin Dan early-to-mid stage ones, you are bound to win. In that case, you won't achieve the effect of training."

Seeing Man Gu, who was on the side, suddenly realized: "I thought Brother Lu was worried about encountering those enemies you shaved bald in the original place, leading to many troubles, which is why you went deep into the dense forest. It was I who was superficial!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Why are you blurting out such big truths?

Now the outskirts of the dense forest were full of Lu Yang's enemies. As long as Lu Yang dared to show his face, he could attract countless people to hunt him down.

"By the way, Junior Sister Tao, can you set up an illusion?"

"What kind of illusion?"

Lu Yang touched the hair that had just grown a little and smiled embarrassedly: "Just an illusion that makes us think our hair is still the same as before."

Meng Jingzhou also nodded.

Tao Yaoye: "... Fine."

She cast a slight spell, letting the four of them enter an illusion. The only difference between the illusion and reality was that Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had grown lush hair.

"I'll find a Jin Dan late-stage demonic beast first for Junior Sister to practice," Lu Yang said, and then asked the Immortal Fairy in his mental space to open her immortal sense to find the nearest Jin Dan late-stage demonic beast.

"Fairy, please."

"It's fine to ask me, but I want to activate the ancient barbarian bloodline on this little barbarian guy first," the Immortal Fairy rarely saw her own masterpiece and wanted to help.

The barbarians lacked detailed records about the ancient barbarians, otherwise Seeing Man Gu wouldn't have known about the existence of the Immortal Fairy.

At the same time, Seeing Man Gu also didn't know how to activate the ancient barbarian bloodline and was currently in the stage of gradual exploration.

The ancient barbarians of the past all gradually activated their bloodlines as their cultivation increased, which was too inefficient.

With the help of the Immortal Fairy, the process of activating the ancient barbarian bloodline would be significantly shortened.

"After activating the ancient barbarian bloodline, this little barbarian guy will have an overwhelming advantage when facing demonic beasts, which will be very helpful to you all!"

Lu Yang thought about it and felt it made sense.

"Seeing Man Gu, I will tell you now how to activate your ancient barbarian bloodline. Get ready."

Although he didn't know why Brother Lu knew how to activate his bloodline, Seeing Man Gu knew Brother Lu wouldn't lie to him.

"Okay, I'm ready."

In the mental space, the Immortal Fairy said one sentence, and in reality, Lu Yang said one sentence to Seeing Man Gu.

"The ancient barbarian bloodline originated from the Immortal Fairy and is the blessing of an immortal. You need to open your arms and shout 'The Immortal Fairy will live forever', shout it three times, and your body will heat up. This is the preliminary manifestation of bloodline awakening."

Hearing this, Seeing Man Gu was shocked. He didn't expect their ancient barbarians to originate from the Immortal Fairy.

"Next, you need to praise the status of the Immortal Fairy, call her the supreme existence, the head of the five immortals, incomparable and irreplaceable."

"The praise must also be performed three times."

"Did you remember?" Lu Yang understood; the awakening ceremony was actually just flattering the Immortal Fairy.

"Uh... what was the first sentence, The Immortal Fairy will pass away forever?"

"It's The Immortal Fairy will live forever!"

Seeing Man Gu opened his arms and shouted to the sky:

"The Immortal Fairy will live forever!"

"The Immortal Fairy will live forever!"

"The Immortal Fairy will live forever!"

Three shouts filled with genuine emotion startled the birds in the trees, causing them to fly away.

As the awakening ceremony proceeded step by step, Seeing Man Gu felt his bloodline boiling, as if it were burning.

His body surface was bright red, he was in such pain that his face was ferocious, he was baring his teeth, sweat drops the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead, and he felt as if his body were about to explode.

"Hoo—hoo—" Seeing Man Gu's bloodline gradually returned to normal, and the heart-wrenching feeling gradually disappeared.

"How do you feel?"

"I feel full of strength!"

"Then..."

Before Lu Yang could finish the word "good," he heard the sound of demonic beasts running not far away.

The sound came from more than one place, coming from all directions, and the target was here.

Boom—

Trees were knocked down, and a demonic beast covered in scales had red eyes, staring fixedly at Seeing Man Gu.

Boom—

Behind the four of them, another demonic beast appeared, staring at Seeing Man Gu as if it had seen an enemy.

One after another, Jin Dan stage demonic beasts appeared, surrounding the four of them.

The target of the demonic beasts was very clear: it was Seeing Man Gu.

"Senior Brother, is this what you meant by finding a Jin Dan late-stage demonic beast for me to practice with?" Tao Yaoye asked in a low voice, having never seen such a big battle.

"Fairy, what is going on?!" Lu Yang realized that something was wrong with the ancient barbarian bloodline on Seeing Man Gu.

"Hmm, it seems the ancient barbarian bloodline was not fully activated, failing to suppress the demonic beasts, but instead angered them... It's fine, this is all within my expectations!"

"Fairy, look into my eyes and say that again."

The Immortal Fairy guiltily drifted her gaze to the side: "This is the test of an immortal."
