In the deepest part of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, this world of ice only allows the sun to cast a faint, non-dazzling light.
In the morning, Ye Qiu opened his eyes for the first ti since last night.
After a night of digestion, in the Dantian, the Rule Power of fire has taken root, standing side by side with the Rule Power of ice and wind.
Ye Qiu finally mastered the third Rule Power, the Power of Fire.
With a single thought, a wisp of fla danced at his fingertips, the pale red fire burning slowly, resembling a spirit.
Mastering the Rule Power of fire was a significant boon for Ye Qiu, because from now on, he no longer needed to rely on earthly fire for alchemy, but could use the Rule Power of fire instead.
"You succeeded..." Dugu Qiujian’s voice sounded.
Ye Qiu nodded with a smile: "As expected, although a single Fire Elental Pill isn’t enough to elevate my Fire Rule Power to a higher stage, it did allow to grasp a trace of Fire Rule Power, and with continued comprehension, it will only beco more profound in the future."
Dugu Qiujian was very pleased, Ye Qiu having mastered another Rule Power increased his strength by another level.
This was the path Ye Qiu had chosen for himself; he hoped Ye Qiu could reach the highest peak.
Ye Qiu retracted the Fire Rule Power, suddenly asking, "Uncle, to ascend from the Mythic Realm to the Human King Realm, does one need to master all the Rule Powers?"
Dugu Qiujian shook his head: "The Human King Realm is not very difficult to break into; you just need to comprehend one Rule Power, break through the shackles, and you can ascend to the Human King Realm. If mastering all Rule Powers were necessary, there wouldn’t be so many Human King Realm Martial Artists in this ancient land."
"Has no one ever comprehended all the Rule Powers to their ultimate stage?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
Dugu Qiujian laughed: "Just comprehending one is enough to take pride, comprehending them all is easier said than done; in the history of these ancient lands, no one has managed to achieve that."
Ye Qiu fell silent for a while, pondering how powerful soone who masters all Rule Powers would be.
After all, he had already mastered three; even among Mythic Realm Martial Artists in ancient lands, few had achieved that.
After mastering the Fire Rule Power, he finally voiced this burning question.
However, Dugu Qiujian’s answer did not completely resolve his doubts.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s eyes sparkled, rembering sothing. With a serious expression, he asked again, "Setting aside the martial artists of these ancient lands, has anyone from other places done it, like from the Ancestral Land..."
At the ntion of the Ancestral Land, Dugu Qiujian’s expression changed dramatically and he exclaid, "How do you know of the Ancestral Land?"
Seeing his uncle so agitated, Ye Qiu shared how he ca to learn about the Ancestral Land, and even produced several ancient texts of the Dugu clan’s cultivation techniques.
"The existence of the Ancestral Land was passed down by the ancestors of our Dugu clan, because the roots of the Dugu clan are not on this land, not even on this planet. We are newcors; the place truly belonging to us is the Ancestral Land."
"Sadly, generations of the Dugu clan have been unable to produce a strong leader capable of leading the clan beyond a single star to seek the Ancestral Land."
"Do the three major ancient clans know about this?" Ye Qiu inquired.
Dugu Qiujian firmly responded, "They do not know; it’s the highest secret of our Dugu clan, known only to a few. I was a prodigious talent of the clan, held in high hope, which is why I learned of the Ancestral Land from the Clan Leader’s lips."
So that’s it, thought Ye Qiu, no wonder his uncle reacted so strongly; the term "Ancestral Land" is indeed rare within the Dugu clan.
"Do you think all mbers of the Dugu clan have the power of spiritual insight? You are mistaken. Only those with strong talent and bloodline can activate it. Within the Dugu clan, only the Clan Leader, myself, and three elders had spiritual insight; others did not, even your father did not have it," Dugu Qiujian explained.
Ye Qiu was extrely surprised. He hadn’t expected that even the bloodline of the Dugu clan had those incapable of opening their spiritual insight.
It seed his talent was not bad; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to see through all things so early.
"Since you ntioned the Ancestral Land, let tell you that I asked your question long ago to the Clan Leader, your grandfather," said Dugu Qiujian.
Listening intently, Ye Qiu heard Dugu Qiujian continue, "The Clan Leader ntioned that indeed, in the Ancestral Land, soone comprehended all Rule Powers and reached their utmost, nearly touching the essence of the Dao."
"Guess who this person is?" Dugu Qiujian suddenly looked at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu shook his head, lacking any clue.
Dugu Qiujian slowly revealed, "It was the ancestor of our Dugu clan, the creator of the first generation of the Dugu clan."
At this, Dugu Qiujian’s face was full of pride, as if basking in supre glory.
"But the Clan Leader warned not to waste all my ti on the laws, because since that ancestor of the Dugu clan, no one has been able to comprehend all the Rule Powers."
"So when you ask about understanding all the laws, I can only say, mastering just one law to its peak is enough; after all, any thod ultimately only leads to entering the Human King Realm."
After hearing Dugu Qiujian’s words, Ye Qiu understood that transitioning from the Mythic Realm to the next level requires mastery of just one Rule Power to the peak.
Nevertheless, Ye Qiu remained imnsely curious about what mastering all Rule Powers would be like.
Could it be that mastering them all and perfecting just one rule would yield the sa result?
Ye Qiu thought that unlikely. Perhaps there was sothing more to it that even his uncle was unaware of.
"Might as well let nature take its course. If fortunate enough to comprehend other Rule Powers later, I’ll reconsider the issue then." Ye Qiu made a decision in his heart to not preoccupy himself with that question for the ti being.
Even with only three Rule Powers, he had yet to master them to their peak, making discussions of mastering other Rule Powers premature.
Next, Ye Qiu began to hone his use of the Fire Rule Power, creating so attack techniques based on it.
To further enhance his mastery of the Fire Rule Power, Ye Qiu once again ventured into the depths of the lake, entered that special cave, and sat by the earthly fire to ditate and train.
During this period, the three major ancient clans, alongside other ancient tribes, frantically hunted ancient beasts to obtain crystals.
While all the ancient tribes continued their hunt, a dragon-like creature erged, sweeping through all the martial artists of the ancient lands, with even mbers of the three major ancient clans not spared.
In an instant, countless lives were lost.
News spread rapidly throughout the ancient land about many ancient clans’ beast hunting inciting the wrath of the beast god.
