All Heavens: Originating from Swallowing the Stars

Chapter 55 The First Genius of the Xia Clan

The World of Fire is the foundation of the Xia Clan's long-standing heritage. It contains not only the extraordinary seeds belonging to the Xia Clan, but also numerous divine artifacts, secret treasures, and other clan treasures sent by the gods and ancestors of past generations at great cost. It is the last line of defense protecting this native power in the material world.

Crimson Cloud Mountain, seemingly a range of mountains situated within the World of Fire and Fire, is actually one of the most precious cultural relics of this world. It is a true divine artifact, sent from the Divine Realm by the Xia Clan's ancestor, Emperor Crimson Cloud.

Currently, Mount Chiyun is under the control of the Xia Clan Elder Council. It is usually used as a place to train Xia Clan candidates for elders. Not only does it house many extraordinary individuals, but it also contains many dangerous places, cultivation sites, and prisons for other races, all for the purpose of training Xia Clan elder candidates.

Half a month after the extraordinary life-or-death battle ended, under the leadership of Yangyan City Lord of Cloud Mist City, Li Tuo also came to Crimson Cloud Mountain, preparing to stay in the mountain for a while.

As the two passed through the thick mist of Crimson Cloud Mountain and arrived at the area with its cluster of palaces, a group of men and women dressed in dark red robes stood atop the palaces. Upon recognizing Li Tuo and his companion, they bowed and spoke in unison:

"Greetings, Elder Yang Yan! Greetings, Senior Brother Li Tuo!"

They were a group of young powerhouses with very weak auras. Although they were all extraordinary beings, they were all the lowest-level flying-level extraordinary beings. They had just completed their first essential leap in life and were all radiating vigorous vitality.

"Feed?"

Li Tuo was slightly taken aback; he didn't recognize the group of young extraordinary individuals before him, while City Lord Yang beside him smiled.

Speak out,

"These are all the candidates for elders of our Xia clan in this generation. They are all young guys at the Flying Heaven level. They were all very happy to hear that you were coming to Chiyun Mountain."

As she spoke, the fiery female demigod looked down at the group of flying-level transcendents and continued, "Introduce yourselves to your Senior Brother Li."

"Yes, my name is Mu Feng. I have mastered some of the profound mysteries of the third-grade Destruction True Meaning. Senior Brother Li went to the life-or-death battle a few days ago..."

"We're all here; we've witnessed Senior Brother Li's talent." Among the candidate elders, a young man in black who looked to be in his twenties or thirties stepped forward and spoke respectfully.

"Hello there."

Li Tuo narrowed his eyes. Although this young extraordinary being named Mu Feng was only at the Flying Heaven level, his aura was quite unusual.

Although it has grasped some of the mysteries of the true meaning of destruction and is far from being fully developed, it still gives people a powerful feeling.

"Senior Brother Li Tuo, my name is Kong Fang. I have mastered the mysteries of the third-grade spatial cutting essence. There are still many things I don't understand, and I need your guidance!" Another slender woman in a red dress took the initiative and spoke to Li Tuo.

"Senior Brother Li, my name is Nie Yun. I have mastered the fourth-grade True Meaning Form of Power. If there is an opportunity, I would like to ask for your guidance."

"Senior Brother Li—."

Most of these elder candidates were only at the Flying Heaven level, which was very weak, but they were all people with amazing comprehension. Almost all of them had mastered the mysteries of the third-grade true meaning, and some of them were even more talented and had mastered the mysteries of the second-grade true meaning.

But in front of Li Tuo, these geniuses dared not be arrogant in the slightest. After half a month of fermentation, Li Tuo's name had spread throughout the world of fire and fire. No one dared to doubt that Li Tuo was the number one genius of the Xia Clan in this era, having mastered at least one third-grade true meaning and being able to fight to a draw with the warriors of the God Realm.

Hello.

Li Tuo greeted each of the little guys. The Xia Clan's system of reserve elders was indeed excellent. All of them were geniuses who had at least mastered the rudiments of the fourth-grade true meaning. They were all exceptionally talented and had the potential to become demigods.

"Li Tuo is the first candidate for elder of the Xia clan in this generation. I believe none of you have any objections to that."

At the same time, his combat power should rank among the top on the Saint Ranking. You few, especially those who have mastered the true mysteries related to space and the physical body, should carefully observe how he cultivates during this period.

In front of the many candidate elders, Lord Yang presented himself as a strict teacher. Seeing that many flying-level extraordinary beings highly praised Li Tuo, he spoke up to admonish him.

"Yes, Lord Yang!" A group of Flying-level Transcendent beings nodded and bowed.

"Alright, go and cultivate yourselves."

Yang Yan waved away the candidates for elders and led Li Tuo through the palace complex. Soon they arrived in front of a magnificent and solemn palace.

The palace was tall and imposing, with the profound and mysterious character "经" (Scripture) inscribed on it. The fiery red mist of Crimson Cloud Mountain swirled around it, and Li Tuo keenly realized that this palace was probably part of the divine artifact Crimson Cloud Mountain.

The Sutra Repository.

Li Tuo's trip was certainly not to bully those flying-level little guys, but because there were many ancient books left by gods and ancestors in Crimson Cloud Mountain. Those things that explained the mysteries of higher-level rules were very attractive to Li Tuo.

"Li Tuo, this Scripture Repository on Crimson Cloud Mountain is one of the highest-level cultivation sites of our Xia Clan. It houses tens of thousands of scriptures, including cultivation insights left by past Xia Clan deities and demigods of the third rank, as well as invaluable texts sent from the divine realm by the Crimson Cloud Emperor."

Lord Yang led Li Tuo into the Scripture Hall. This hall has three floors. The first floor contains the classics left by demigods who have mastered the third-grade true meaning in past generations. The second floor contains the scriptures and secret methods left by gods in past generations. The third floor contains the cultivation manuals sent down from the divine realm by the gods.

Li Tuo nodded, casually took out a scripture from the first floor of the Scripture Hall, and after flipping through it briefly, he discovered that it was a cultivation manual left behind by a demigod. That demigod had mastered the third-grade Taiyin True Intent in his lifetime, which was very powerful, but in the end he could not break through and could only die in sorrow.

"According to the decision of the Council of Elders, from this day forward, you will be entitled to peruse all the books in the Library Hall, the first, second, and third floors are all open to you."

Lord Yang took out a mirror from the Sutra Repository and had Li Tuo attach a wisp of his aura to the mirror, thus granting Li Tuo the qualification to peruse all the scriptures.

Thank you.

Li Tuo thanked him, carefully flipped through the book left by the demigod Taiyin Zhenyi a few times, put it back in its original place, and smiled.

"This is merely granting you early access to the benefits of demigodhood; these scriptures and texts may only offer some inspiration."

"I hope this will be helpful for you to understand the true meaning," said the Lord of Yangyan City.

She actually understood that the most important thing in comprehending the true meaning is the cultivator's own comprehension. These classic texts can at most provide some inspiration. The Xia Clan has only produced one second-grade True Meaning Transcendent throughout history, and it is impossible for every generation to produce a second-grade True Meaning Transcendent.

"That's enough."

Li Tuo naturally didn't mind. He understood that in the cultivation of the mysterious system of rules, comprehension was always the most important thing, whether it was true intention cultivation, understanding of laws, or condensing the divine mind.

All he needed was inspiration.

Of the three systems he had established for himself—the world, matter, and chaos—the progress of the true meaning of the world and matter could be considered relatively stable. However, he felt he needed some inspiration regarding the true meaning of chaos to deepen his understanding of this true meaning.

At the same time, Li Tuo was also very interested in the combat applications of the microscopic realm within the first-grade material essence. He had already mastered the second-grade microscopic essence, but his application of this essence was still limited to body tempering and refining, and he had not yet specifically developed more applications.

In his view, the true meaning of this microscopic realm should have great potential, and if the level is high enough, it can be used to reshape matter and reach a level that is close to "creating something from nothing".
