I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 169 - 114 Female Hero, Save, Save, Save... (Please Subscribe)
To the south of the Wei Dynasty lies what is known as the Southern Barbarian Land, a vast and boundless expanse of majestic mountains.
Different from the Ten Thousand Mountains outside Beixiong Pass to the north, the mountains of the Southern Barbarians are lush and rich with vegetation.
They hide countless demons, with almost every mountaintop and corner concealing a demon in secret cultivation.
And those tall barbarians also live here.
They are different from the people of the Wei Dynasty’s central plains, mostly leading primitive lives of hair-blowing and blood-drinking.
They hunt in the mountains when hungry and drink mountain spring water or dew from leaves when thirsty.
Only those initiated into the Southern Barbarian Sect receive some education and live slightly more carefully; the rest of the tribes are much more primitive.
However, constrained by the Southern Barbarian Sect, the barbarians are quite hospitable to outsiders.
Of course, this hospitality is extended as long as the outsiders have no ill intentions. Once someone breaks the rules here, the consequences can be quite severe.
To be precise, quite gruesome.
"Gruesome, I’m truly fucking miserable!"
Chen Yuan hid in a big tree that required three men to embrace and watched the barbarians searching below, filled with deep resentment.
He knew Yan Hai wouldn’t let him off easily; that guy set him up big time before leaving.
Even though after coming down the mountain, he no longer needed to conceal his Absolute Blade Intent, Yan Hai was indeed too treacherous!
"Those Southern Barbarian Sect’s Bitter Monks, huh."
"Who would’ve thought that he, an ordinary person ignorant of Martial Arts and the Barbarian Clan’s Blood Seal, would have two descendants of Southern Barbarian Sect Shamans?"
Shamans are high-ranking followers within the Southern Barbarian Sect, equivalent to the elders of the Holy Lands of the sects of the Wei Dynasty.
Above them are the sect leader and Great Shaman, at least a presence in the Third Grade Heavenly Union Realm.
Chen Yuan cursed under his breath, his expression slightly gloomy.
Ever since three months ago when he killed a Bitter Monk upon arriving in the Southern Barbarian Land, he had been doggedly pursued by the barbarians.
At first, the chasing barbarians were not strong, and he could handle them.
But later, as two Shamans personally led the chase, his good days came to an abrupt end.
Being cornered and managing to escape was reason enough for him to be grateful, let alone fighting.
Although with his current level of cultivation and mastery of the Sword Dao, he could just about handle that Third Grade Heavenly Union Realm Shaman.
But it was hard to prevail against so many Barbarian Warriors who stood by the shaman, each over ten feet tall, armed with spears, longbows, and other weapons.
As soon as they spotted him, he was greeted not by their barbaric language but a barrage of arrows and spears.
Chen Yuan had tried to perform a guerrilla sneak attack on that Shaman—the result was needless to say—he nearly died.
Despite the shabby appearance of a Southern Barbarian Sect Shaman, their physical bodies were strong enough to withstand a blow from his Absolute Blade.
It was even stronger than a fellow body-cultivation sect member he encountered in a sect competition.
And that was the shaman’s weakest state.
Should he activate the Blood Seal on his body and employ the unique inherited techniques of the barbarians, his power could surge by another fifty percent.
Caught off guard, Chen Yuan had almost died at his hands.
"Lord, my lord."
At this moment, a faint voice came through.
Chen Yuan looked to his side and asked in a hushed tone, "Have you found the way out?"
The person who came wore a green robe, his figure hidden behind the leaves, nearly impossible to discern if he remained motionless.
His name was Lu Zhao, a disciple of the Sea Covering Dao of Wuliang Mountain, also known as a "Hidden Dragon Seed."
Months ago, before Chen Yuan left Wuliang Mountain, he received a message from Chen Ke stating that "Hidden Dragon" was to be passed on to him.
It was also the Old Marquis’ intention.
After much thought, Chen Yuan had chosen to accept.
Initially, he was unclear about what this so-called "Hidden Dragon" was, assuming it was a private force fostered by Duke Jingye, Zhou Tiance.
It wasn’t until he interacted with Lu Zhao that he realized "Hidden Dragon" was much stronger than he had imagined.
This piqued his curiosity. He wanted to know the Grandpa’s purpose in creating "Hidden Dragon."
He also sought to understand why his grandfather treated him the way he did when he was a child.
Lu Zhao chuckled awkwardly, "I haven’t found it..."
Chen Yuan glared at him irritably, "What use are you?"
He looked at the barbarians not far away, paused to think for a moment, and signaled to continue deeper in the direction they had been heading.
He had no choice; he was lost.
Otherwise, he would have already run back to the Wei Dynasty by now. Why bother playing this game of hide-and-seek with the Barbarian Clan in these mountains?
Until the sun was about to set, Lu Zhao suddenly pointed to a stream in the distance and said:
"Lord, look quickly, there’s someone over there."
Chen Yuan followed his gaze and his eyes brightened.
Indeed, there was a person, and judging by the silhouette, it wasn’t the tall barbarians.
"Let’s go, ask for directions."
The two moved silently toward the figure, and using the dim sunset light, Chen Yuan saw a graceful shadow.
A woman?
Chen Yuan thought it over and gestured to Lu Zhao to approach and ask.
Without overthinking, Lu Zhao immediately stepped forward, pulled out a short dagger from his waist, intending to extract information through intimidation.
"Who is it?"
Yet before he could get close, the person turned around, and a cool voice as crisp as a lark’s call sounded.
With his fifth-rank Core Formation Realm, Lu Zhao charged over and said, "My apologies."
The person frowned slightly, the longsword at their side drawn from its sheath, spiritual acupoints emerging all around, evidently a fourth-rank Martial Artist of the Spirit Aperture Realm.
Lu Zhao’s forward momentum came to an abrupt halt as the tip of the sword pressed against his neck, a slight sweat breaking out on his forehead as he said:
"Miss, this is a misunderstanding..."
The woman, dressed in a blue long gown, petite in build, sizing him up, said: "Do you think I would believe that?"
Chen Yuan had no choice but to step in beside the two, sweeping away the longsword with his blade, glaring at the careless Lu Zhao, and said with a smile, "It really is a misunderstanding."
The woman did not speak, frowning as she looked at the two men before pulling out a piece of paper to compare.
"So it’s you, the Absolute Blade Inheritor from Wuliang Mountain, Chen Yuan."

Chen Yuan’s expression changed slightly; he had already realized that what the woman was holding in her hand was a wanted order issued by the Southern Barbarian Sect for him.
"Run!"
Immediately, he took Lu Zhao and fled into the distance.
A fourth-rank Spirit Aperture Realm Sword Cultivator is not much to speak of.
But Chen Yuan knew that if he continued to tangle with her here, he would only draw the Barbarian Clan to their location.
And the woman, watching the two men’s departing figures, did not pursue but appeared to be deep in thought.
Then she took out the "Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List" she carried, glanced at the first page with Chen Yi’s name on it, and flipped to the page where Chen Yuan was listed.
"Chen Yuan is Junior Brother Chen’s elder brother... to save or not to save?"
Before the woman could decide, she saw Chen Yuan and Lu Zhao returning with serious expressions.
Not only that, Chen Yuan also called out to her: "Female hero, save, save, save..."
Save?
The woman gave him a puzzled look, then her expression changed slightly.
She saw dozens of tall and burly figures with fierce expressions, chasing after Chen Yuan and heading toward her while babbling something in their mouths.
"Be, careful, that Wei person has two accomplices!"
The woman, who understood a bit of the Barbarian language, was startled, then looked at Chen Yuan and Lu Zhao before glancing at herself.
"Barbarians, you, who the hell are you calling accomplices?"
Chen Yuan nodded towards her and shouted again, "You are!"
Lu Zhao chuckled and echoed, "That’s right, you are."
"..."
The woman was about to retort when she saw the chasing Barbarians throwing spears her way.
She quickly turned and fled with Chen Yuan and Lu Zhao.
"Shameless!"
"We are all children of the Martial World, please understand."
"Damnable, once this matter is over, I will definitely not let you off!!"
...
There are no days or months in the mountains.
Chen Yi and the others had been at Qianmo Cliff for more than five months, practicing their Cultivation Techniques and skills daily, their cultivation steadily improving.
Especially in that pool, with the Array’s enhancement and the rich spiritual energy, their speed improved by more than twice.
In addition, with elixirs provided by the Sect, Chen Yi and his companions made leaps and bounds in strength.
Especially Lin Xueru, Hua Xianzi, and Xiao Xuanzhen, their cultivation improved the fastest.
Over the months, not only had they smoothly advanced to the upper stage of the fourth-rank Spirit Aperture Realm, but they also had as many as twelve spiritual acupoints each.
Hua Youxiang, Du Yanqing, and Du Yan were not far behind, their cultivation reaching the upper stage of the fifth-rank Core Formation Realm, on the verge of breaking through to the fourth-rank Spirit Aperture Realm.
Chen Yi also reaped a great harvest.
Two days ago, his cultivation successfully broke through to the upper stage of the fourth-rank Spirit Aperture Realm.
However, due to the limitations of the Cultivation Technique, he only had nine spiritual acupoints.
[Name: Chen Yi]
[Age: 45]
[Cultivation: Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm (Upper Stage)]
[Talent: Late Bloomer – The older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed.]
[Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique: Great Success – The Dantian shines like the bright moon, and the Profound Gang thrums like thunder.]
[Sword Dao: Insightful – The heart of the sword is clear, leading the sword with the heart, until the Heart Sword merges as one, then can nurture the seed of divine power.]
[Rebellion Point: 0/100]
[Current Task Completion Progress: 65%. (?)]
"Fortunately, the task completion progress has improved."
Chen Yi was quite satisfied with this.
His cultivation had improved a lot, and next, he just needed to address the shortcomings of his Cultivation Technique and attempt to increase the number of spiritual acupoints.
Success would be best, but even if he didn’t succeed, he wouldn’t feel burdened; he would simply seek to advance to the Heavenly Union Realm.
"Brother Yi, time flies so fast."
Lin Xueru’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Chen Yi, she had even thought about staying in this valley forever at one point.
Chen Yi nodded and said with a smile to the young girl:
"Even if we leave Qianmo Cliff, we must not slack off, understand? Raise your cultivation to the Heavenly Union Realm as soon as possible."
Lin Xueru stuck out her tongue, "Got it~"
Then at this moment, Xie Changle’s figure also appeared within the valley, shouting loudly:
"Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Chen, come quickly, Master has something to assign you..."
