I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!

After passing South-Garrison Pass, the mountain trail became rugged and steep.

The thick, lush forest and towering trees slowed down even the Black Wind Horse ridden by Chen Yi.

Add to that the difficulty of recognizing directions, eventually they could only travel on foot.

Luckily, there were quite a few Martial World travelers from Wei Dynasty which prevented them from losing their way.

However, for convenience, Chen Yi and his companions decided to find a nearby trading team.

—Shen Family's Trading Company, a commercial caravan that regularly conducted business between the Southern Barbarians and the Wei Dynasty.

"Brother Shen, riding your Red Blood Leopard sure is convenient."

Chen Yi and his three companions rode on one Red Blood Leopard, not feeling cramped at all as the leopard moved smoothly through the dense forest.

"Haha, naturally," said the person in charge of the company, Shen Rufeng, a portly middle-aged man. He stroked his beard and chuckled:

"My Shen family has been conducting business in the Southern Barbarian lands for a hundred years and we have become quite familiar with this area."

"Not to mention, almost every tribe along the way has our company's staff, composed of both barbarians and Wei people."

Xie Changle was especially interested in these stories and curiously asked: "Brother, this return trip must reach the New Year, right?"

Shen Rufeng cursed: "If it weren't for my bad luck in drawing the wrong lot, I would not have come here."

"Staying at home with a few beautiful wives and listening to songs, how nice."

"Dreadful place?"

"Don't disbelieve, those barbarian tribes can be quite dull," Shen Rufeng explained:

"The better tribes are well-equipped. Many are literate and practitioners, and you can communicate with them."

"Those that are more secluded, everyone wears animal skins, and men and women... everywhere..."

Shen Rufeng glanced at Hua Xianzi and Xiao Xuanzhen, embarrassed to continue, and made a hand gesture indicating 'human urgencies'.

"The secret realm where you are headed is deep in the dense forest of the Southern Barbarian Land. The tribes there are extremely hostile to the Wei people."

"Really?"

"Being careful is always good, right?"

As Chen Yi listened to their conversation, he pondered while observing his surroundings.

He wondered where the Chu Family's group, Gongye Shou and Xie Dongan, had arrived.

Although he encountered many warriors along the way, he had not seen any prominent figures from the Heavenly List or Earthly List.

This made him somewhat perplexed.

"Perhaps it's because the Southern Barbarian Land is vast and everyone is too scattered?"

Chen Yi did not know and then suppressed his doubts, spreading his Sword Intent to stay alert of the surroundings.

At nightfall, everyone followed the Shen Family's trading team to make camp in the dense forest.

Shen Rufeng directed the guards to plant flags around – the flags of the tribes where the Southern Barbarian Sect's Shamans resided.

Curious, Chen Yi inquired about the origins of these flags.

"In the Southern Barbarian Land, our Wei names hold no weight."

"These flags were acquired by my Shen family from the Southern Barbarian Sect at great cost."

As Shen Rufeng organized various affairs, he continued:

"In addition to the flags, possessing a Great Demon Blood Core, crucial for warding off demons, is essential for coming here."

"Otherwise, if not the barbarians, the demons lurking in the forest would come attack us."

Saying this, Shen Rufeng's eyes showed envy towards Chen Yi and his group.

"If only there were a few Sect Disciples like you in the trading team, it would be more perfect."

"I, Old Shen, would not have to be constantly on edge, fearing mishaps on the road."

Chen Yi smiled and continued observing the company members as they made preparations.

Apart from the previously mentioned tribal flags and Great Demon Blood Core, there was also a stone slab inscribed with the Barbarian language and a Taoist Formation set.

It took nearly an hour to fully set up the site.

Seeing the curiosity in several people's eyes, Shen Rufeng gave a sheepish smile and said, "The Southern Barbarian Land is full of troubles; better to be safe, better to be safe, hehe."

"Speaking of which, the 'Heavenly Pride List' had a new issue a few days ago; you folks haven't seen it yet, right?"

On hearing this, Xie Changle hurried over, laughing, "Boss Shen, quickly show me."

Shen Rufeng nodded with a smile, starting this topic to give them something to do.

In the Martial World, nothing attracts the attention of travelers like the "Heavenly Pride List."

Soon, Xie Changle brought out two copies of the "Heavenly Pride List". Everyone sat together, snacking on pastries while browsing the contents.

"Junior brother, your number one position has been challenged!"

Upon opening the silver-covered Earthly List, Xie Changle's eyes widened as he sound-transmitted to the others:

"Now the Earthly List First is Xie Dongan from Kyoto Academy!"

"Really?"

"'Little Sword Immortal' junior brother, is this the person we met at the inn earlier?" Xiao Xuanzhen asked doubtfully.

Chen Yi nodded, then leaned over to read the description on the Earthly List.

That night when he met Xie Changle, he had sensed that the grandson of the Left Minister was extraordinary, but he did not expect him to attain the first place on the Earthly List.

"Xie Dongan, grandson of Xie Jing, Left Minister, top three student of Kyoto Academy, mentored by 'Great Master' Lin Zhongke."

"His cultivation has reached the Second Grade Divine Travel Realm, his literary aura is like a dragon, already on the verge of Semi-Saint!"

Hearing this, Xie Changle pondered and said: "The verge of Semi-Saint signals great achievements in techniques, comparable to your junior brother's Sword Heart Clarity Realm."

Chen Yi nodded, Confucianism forms its own system, cultivating Vast Energy, also possessing techniques.

Semi-Saint equals the Transparent Realm of Sword Dao, while Saint is equivalent to Divine Power Realm.

Beneath a Semi-Saint, there are Great Confucians, Doctors, and the like.

"In the Southern Barbarian Land, he slew a Second Grade Divine Travel Realm demon, and several Third Grade Heavenly Union Realm demons."

Xie Changle clicked his tongue: "Who would have thought that the seemingly frail scholar we met earlier possessed such strength? Indeed, appearances can be deceiving."
