I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 462 - 195: Yanran Jin Bo Division

In the two years since Shen Can left the Blazing Flame, many martial artists from the Blazing Flame Tribe have ventured out, some sailing south, others heading west into the Yellow Sand.

Going out and seeing the world is greatly beneficial for broadening one’s horizons, at the very least by witnessing different scenes from one’s own clan land and the outside world.

For example, in various places in Yongyi, one can see people with dense scales on their bodies, or horns on their heads, and tails on their bottoms.

The vast majority of Human Race with mutations tend to grow dense scales or hair on specific parts of their bodies.

In Yongyi, this is known by a new name: Ancestral Blood Syndrome.

Because only the descendants of those whose ancestors reached the Divine Treasure Realm or higher have a chance of developing this mutation.

Some people don’t see it as a disgrace but instead as a source of pride, boasting that their ancestors received the true inheritance of the Wild Beast, and thus their bloodlines benefited, gaining a portion of the Wild Beast’s power.

Indeed, it’s true that some Humans with beastification traces tend to experience some increase in battle power when flushing these traces with their blood vitality.

Originally, Shen Can considered that his clan members, who have cultivated the Desolate Beast Battle Body, might need to hide a bit when venturing out.

But now, it’s unnecessary.

All divisions possess martial artists with some beastification traces, claiming that they’ve returned to their ancestral roots.

Martial artists from the Blazing Flame Tribe who have cultivated the Desolate Beast Battle Body are seen as direct ancestors.

During his time in the Bi Fang Bo Division, Shen Can intentionally exposed a portion of beastification traces, and Lord Bi Fang didn’t even bat an eye.

Clearly, Lord Bi Fang has seen many beast martial artists, so much so that he’s accustomed to them.

"Back home!"

When Shen Can entered the Blazing Flame Race Territory, he met Little Dragon Fish.

To other clan members, not seeing Shen Can feels quite normal, as they would assume he’s in seclusion at the Ancestral Temple.

But Little Dragon Fish is different; it frequently visits the Ancestral Temple for food, knowing exactly whether Shen Can is there or not.

Of course, Little Dragon Fish wouldn’t blab about it.

"Splash splash!"

"A long and dusty journey, come get washed."

Then, Little Dragon Fish flicked its tail, and gentle rain descended from the sky, washing Shen Can thoroughly.

Little Sparrow flapped its wings, and a gentle breeze blew, instantly drying the moisture from Shen Can’s body.

Indeed, traveling ten thousand miles is no match for the service of a dragon, with washing and drying in one.

"You two seem quite free lately."

Shen Can casually landed on Little Dragon Fish’s back.

Upon hearing, Little Sparrow tilted its head and chirped twice, then shook its head vigorously.

"How could we be free? We’re quite busy, with a share in every grain harvested by Blazing Flame, and now the fields keep expanding, the territory widening, it’s getting a bit overwhelming."

Little Dragon Fish complained while flying, glancing at Little Sparrow to hint not to speak.

"You see, maybe give us some food."

Shen Can glanced over the spines within the bodies of Little Dragon Fish and Little Sparrow, sensing the boiling energy within their Ancestral Blood Origin.

"The two of you need not eat any more; it’s time to settle down properly, your Power of Origin is about to match Huo Shan."

Carrying Shen Can, Little Dragon Fish returned all the way to the Ancestral Temple, where everything within the clan remained unchanged.

But during his absence, the trials of the younger generation had already concluded, with the top ten winners awaiting his summons.

"Back again."

Huo Xian saw Shen Can return, uttered a word, then went off to wash rice without waiting for Shen Can’s reply.

In the evening, after having a meal with Huo Xian, Shen Can returned to the sleeping hall for a comfortable night’s sleep.

After two days, he began issuing decrees to the various tribe witch priests, including the wizards and witches within the valley to come to the Ancestral Temple.

One purpose of summoning many witch cultivators is to unify the learning of the Five Elements Witch Patterns among the witches.

Through contemplation in the Bi Fang Bo Division, Shen Can had already deduced that the Grand Witch Array is constructed from basic Witch Talismans step by step, leading to the derivation of the most basic Five Elements Witch Patterns.

After deriving the basic Five Elements Witch Patterns, Shen Can realized that not only the Witch Array but also the runes on Witch Artifacts, and all Witch Talismans and Witch Patterns are constructed from the combination of the most basic Five Elements Witch Patterns.

For the tribe’s development, all witch cultivators within the division must learn these foundational Five Elements Witch Patterns.

The second purpose is to prepare the witch priests as teachers to popularize common writing within the settlement.

The characters in the Great Wilderness are chaotic, varied, mostly resembling pictographs and some bird-worm characters.

Many records on beast hide scrolls come with pictures, and most people who read them combine them with their illustrations to understand what the scrolls describe.

This time, by gathering the wizards, these everyday characters will be unified and simplified to spread learning throughout the tribe.

By then, the young ones can learn systematically, while the older tribe members will attend ’night school’ directly.

Other goals include further improving the formula for everyday witch medicine to better suit the tribe’s lifestyle needs, allowing the wizard’s witchcraft development to thoroughly unfold, among others.

After looking around Yongyi, Shen Can discovered that some things might not necessarily be performed solely by wizards.

It’s entirely possible to improve a batch of Zuyou Technique chants and simple formulas of common witch medicine, simplifying some into catchy rhymes, like ’nursery songs’ to teach the tribe.

This way, in daily life, when tribe members suffer light ailments, cuts, etc., they can be treated promptly.

Upon receiving the Ancestral Temple Keeper’s decree, the clan lands’ witch priests, wizards, and witches packed up their bags quickly heading toward the Ancestral Temple.

Shen Can had long arranged for clan soldiers to clear out a vast plaza in the valley behind the clan land, intended as a learning space.
