After a century of worship, I became the ancestor of the tribe.

Chapter 9 Ultimate Transformation, Advancement to the Stone-Splitting Realm

The rain keeps falling.

The floodwaters surged forth from multiple mountain passes like a turbid dragon, and the resulting giant waves crashed against the mountainsides.

The tribesmen stood on the shore, trying to recreate the scene of catching the Heluo fish.

Within the tribe, news of the ancestors' miraculous appearance spread throughout the caves, greatly improving the atmosphere.

From teenagers learning boxing to seasoned martial artists who have practiced for decades, everyone is cultivating the improved Kui Niu Fist bestowed by their ancestor.

Shen Can was the same.

Huo Xian granted him special permission to leave the ancestral temple and return after learning the improved boxing style.

After pretending to practice for two days, Shen Can felt that he had almost recovered his energy.

The night was deep, and the rain was pattering outside the cave.

[Continue to deduce the thunderous sound of the Kui Niu.]

After the last deduction was completed, I was told that the Kui Niu Fist's evolution of the Thunder Sound had even greater mysteries.

Moreover, even the highest level of Kui Niu Fist can only activate about 80% of the body's muscles and bones, which Shen Can felt was far from the ultimate level.

The illusory image inside the three-legged cauldron began to move.

After practicing your boxing for 150 years, you've finally achieved complete mastery and are no longer completely clueless.

One year later, Lei Yin transformed into Shuang Xiang.

……

Thirty years later, Lei Yin transformed into Qi Xiang.

Twenty years later, Leiyin transformed into Baxiang.

After the eight cries of the Kui Niu, you feel your head has turned to stone again, and you can't figure out what to do next. In the blink of an eye, another twenty years have passed, and you transform into a ox once more.

【Moo moo moo】

Inside the three-legged cauldron, the phantom kept mooing, but its hands never stopped moving, performing the Kui Niu Fist again and again without stopping.

Finally, as the new round of fist techniques was performed, the thunderous sound rang out once more: seven, eight, nine...

As the ninth thunderclap resounded, the illusory figure performing the fist technique trembled all over, a profound energy flowing straight into his head.

[After another thirty years, through your stubborn and relentless training, you have finally unleashed the ninth resounding roar of the Kui Niu Thunder Sound.]

【The Nine Roars of the Kui Ox, the ultimate form of Kui Fist, can temper the entire body's flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs】

Congratulations on your stubbornness! You've mastered the auxiliary cultivation technique of "All Things Return to One".

On the stone bed, Shen Can opened his eyes.

Priest: Shen Can

Martial Arts Realm: No Rank.

Sacrificial vessel: sacrificial tripod

Tempering Method: Kui Niu Fist (Superior Grade)

Witchcraft: Blazing Flame Tribe Witchcraft and Healing Methods (Inferior), Witchcraft (None)
Skills: None
Martial Arts Supernatural Powers: All Transformations Unify
Life span: 15
【All things return to one: Allows the priest to perfectly refine and absorb daily cultivation resources, possessing the effect of absorbing all things and accumulating small amounts to form a complete system】

A day later, after indulging in three large meals of meat, Shen Can experienced the benefits of the unity of all things.

This supernatural power is incredibly useful.

When practicing the Kui Niu Fist with the aid of external assistance, the meat consumed is perfectly transformed into increased physical strength.

Not only did they not waste anything, Shen Can even found a handful of dry tree leaves in the tribe and ate them, which were then transformed.

Every cultivation resource he consumes is squeezed for some profit, leaving only dry chaff and dregs.

Based on this situation, Shen Can felt that even if he only ate ordinary wild beast meat, he could still advance to become a martial artist; it was just a matter of how long it would take.

The saying "catch a toad and squeeze out the oil" is a metaphor for the idea that emotions are as vast as the ocean.

The cultivation paths to the Stone Splitting Realm and Mountain Opening Realm are now fully open to him. The process of soaking in beast blood, which his clansmen need, is no longer necessary for him.

As for the Heavenly Vein Realm, it no longer seems so difficult.

The more you progress in the game, the greater its auxiliary role becomes in helping others.

Many small efforts make a big difference; by pooling existing resources, we can achieve a higher level of advancement.

The reason why the Blazing Flame Division only has one Celestial Vein Warrior is mainly because Tier 3 Wild Beasts are hard to find.

Second-tier wild beasts, as long as they aren't too troublesome, can be easily dragged back to the tribe by the focused fire of the tribe's Stone-Splitting Realm warriors.

However, the success rate of relying on second-tier Mountain Opening Realm warriors to focus fire on third-tier wild beasts will be much lower.

Moreover, hunting third-tier wild beasts in a tribe also depends on luck.

It's also because the Blazing Flame Tribe is too small. Take the Upper Yellow Tribe for example; they have several Heavenly Vein Realm warriors who can spare manpower to wander around the nearby wilderness all day, specifically to investigate the situation of third-tier wild beasts.

Wild beasts also have their own groups and territories, and they fight each other.

The purpose of the wandering is to find old and injured Tier 3 wild beasts, and once found, organize people to hunt them.

The Blazing Flame Tribe only has one Heavenly Vein, Chief Huotang, so naturally he can't go out for a stroll.

Whether or not you can hunt a Tier 3 wild beast depends entirely on luck.

But luck is something you might not encounter even once in decades.

Shen Can didn't think the tribe would specifically hunt a third-tier wild beast for him. Even his ancestors didn't have such great fortune. Whether he could get to eat it depended entirely on luck.

Therefore, obtaining third-tier wild beasts as resources is out of the question.

This is still a third-tier wild beast. Once it reaches the fourth or fifth tier... hunting it by sheer numbers becomes increasingly impossible. But with this divine ability, as long as he can perfectly refine the existing resources, he can rely on the nutrients from second-tier, or even a large number of first-tier wild beasts, to advance to the Heavenly Vein Realm through perfect transformation.

Many small contributions make a great achievement; this is the method of accumulation.

With the perfect Kui Niu Fist and the auxiliary cultivation of supernatural powers, Shen Can had no other thoughts and squatted in the ancestral temple waiting for his meal.

A bowl overflowing with meat was ladled out by Huo Xian.

Seeing Shen Can, who was still shorter than his clansmen despite practicing boxing every day, Huo Xian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Eat more; you're still a bit weak."

Over the next ten days, there was constant activity in the caves of the tribe, and Shen Can subconsciously forgot about the torrential rain outside.

Inside the ear hole on the west side of the ancestral temple.

Shen Can withdrew his fist and stood still.

Feeling the warm current coursing through his body, Shen Can's eyes lit up.

I've leveled up! I'm so hungry, I want to eat more.

Looking at his own physique, he had grown taller, but he was still quite a bit shorter than the strong bears of the tribe.

"Crack!"

He reached for the black Yuan Stone placed inside the cave and vigorously channeled it into his right hand.

The part of the black stone that was grasped miraculously produced a powerful force.

He squeezed a corner of the black Yuan Stone, which was over a meter tall, until it broke open, and a crack appeared.

When tribes test the fist strength of warriors at the Stone-Splitting Realm, they simply punch them.

Shen Can wasn't that violent. The two realms of "Stone Splitting" and "Mountain Opening" don't actually have a clear boundary; both emphasize the increase of one's own power.

Soaking in second-tier beast blood is more like pushing one's strength to its limit, using the beast blood to break through the bottleneck, and opening up the upper limit of improvement once again.

For him, there are no bottlenecks or obstacles.

As long as you eat, you can naturally become a martial artist at the Mountain Opening Realm.

Priest: Shen Can

Martial Arts Realm: Stone-Splitting Realm (Power of the Desolate Realm)
Sacrificial vessel: sacrificial tripod

Tempering Method: Kui Niu Fist (Superior Grade)

……

He has been busy advancing to become a martial artist, and the tribe members have all started learning the modified Kui Niu Fist. The overall effect is quite good.

Why does Shen Can know so much?

because……

Inside the East Ear Cave.

Several animal hide scrolls were laid out in front of him.

A catalog of animal hides with rubbings of the improved Kui Niu boxing style.

A list of tribal members.

Shen Can glanced at the list and found that there were only two people with the same name as him, both of whom were born while warming themselves by the fire at the foot of the mountain.

The list was densely packed with names and corresponding portraits.

Portraits can usually capture the characteristics of each person.

There are a total of 133 people, of which 27 are new additions, and A-Yu's name is above the new additions.

These are all members of the tribe who are considered to have the potential to become warriors at the Stone Splitting Realm.

Since the emergence of the newly improved boxing style, the number of people has increased by one-fifth in a short period of time.

Anyone in the tribe who feels capable will come to Huoxian to leave their name and then wait in line for the beast blood.

"Write down Huo Xun's name. He's over forty. If he can advance to become a martial artist, it will be a great honor to have benefited from his ancestors."

Huo Xian gave instructions to Shen Can, but sighs continued.

While it's good that our ancestors have shown their power, the current situation is truly unpleasant.

There is no animal blood.

The rain was pouring down, and there was nowhere to hunt near the tribe.

Once the heavy rain stops, the starving beasts that have escaped the flood will become even more ferocious.

Not to mention, after a heavy rain comes a plague, which is the real crisis for the tribe.

For martial artists, plague is a major problem, let alone the elderly, weak, women and children in the tribe. Once the plague spreads, the entire tribe may become dead.

In fact, Shen Can had been looking at shamanistic remedies for preventing and treating plague insects during his free time these past few days.

Plague worms are also a kind of great famine beast; once they spread, they can cause widespread devastation.

After the plague fluid is released from the body, people often swell up with plague blisters all over their bodies, and then their internal organs rot, becoming a breeding ground for plague worms.

He saw an opportunity in the crisis.

Plagues are indiscriminate; if they can be prevented, they could be an opportunity for the Blazing Flame Tribe to expand its territory.

If the tribe becomes stronger, wouldn't our ancestors be able to eat even better?

He was the most sincere in respecting his ancestors.
