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

Chapter 93 Third-Tier Wizard, Xiaoyang Heads North (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Blazing Flame Mountain.

Streams of moisture gathered from all directions and poured into Shen Can.

In his perception, the water elemental energy in the mist surrounding the clan's territory was at least twice as concentrated as it was before the sacrificial cauldron appeared.

Such a situation is naturally due to the primordial meridians.

Near the Great Swamp, the Yuanmai continuously channeled the water-based energy from the swamp to the clan's territory.

At this moment, Shen Can was in a small valley in the clan mountain, where the water elemental energy was much denser than the surrounding area.

He opened his divine sense and absorbed the continuous water elemental energy from all around into his body.

Having just absorbed the surrounding source energy, the moisture from all directions flowed up with the wind, replenishing it once again.

He has been cultivating here for several days since the clan sacrifice.

Not only him, but also several disciples who had not made a breakthrough were placed by him in some places in the clan's territory that were rich in water elemental energy.

This has led the tribespeople to frequently observe small water mists gathering on their territory over the past few days.

Boom!

At that moment, a vortex of mist suddenly rose from where Shen Can was cultivating, and water vapor from all directions was quickly torn in.

Then, a rumbling sound came from inside his body.

Within the witch vein, the source power is rapidly assimilated into witch power.

However, when Shen Can examined his internal witch meridians this time, he discovered that in addition to black water-element witch power, there was also earth-element witch power that appeared to be yellowish-brown, cyan wood-element power, and even more subtle golden witch power.

Compared to the water element's magical power, which is like a great river, the earth, wood, and metal elements' magical power is now not even a trickle.

This situation also occurred during this cultivation process.

The nascent primordial vein, integrated deep within the clan's territory, should be absorbing the power of the five elements. However, due to the clan's proximity to a large swamp, the fire element is somewhat less prominent.

Rumble!
After cultivating for several days, Shen Can suddenly swallowed all the water-based source energy within a radius of nearly a thousand feet, like a whale sucking in water.

A magical vein, running through the Baihui point on the top of the head and connecting to the Divine Spring below, suddenly released crystalline magical power, its width increasing more than twofold in that instant.

Within the expanded witch vein, the witch power that was originally compressed together can no longer even cover one-tenth of the witch vein's area.

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Can slowly opened his eyes.

Martial Arts Realm: Heavenly Vein Third Heaven
Witchcraft Realm: Early Stage of Third-Order Witch (Divine Sense Twenty-Two and Seven-Foot)

Afterwards, Shen Can got up but did not leave. Instead, he slowly practiced the Kui Niu Fist.

The moves of the Kui Niu Fist are very simple. As he moves, the water vapor surrounding him swirls around his body, and water-based energy gradually enters his body.

Then, he performed the Great Ape Fist again, a style of boxing that he had gathered from the Upper Lake region.

This time, there really was a new discovery.

During the practice of the Great Ape Fist, the source energy of the earth and metal elements will be attracted.

Without using divine sense to pull the source energy into the body, this source energy seems to randomly enter the cultivator's body.

The more abundant the source energy in the environment, the more source energy will enter the body during the tempering process.

He was able to make this discovery because of his powerful divine sense; ordinary people of his clan could not see such subtle phenomena.

Come to think of it, a small tribe like the Blazing Flame tribe back then was already lucky to have a tempering method to cultivate, how could they have known that the tempering method also secretly matched the free source power.

Choosing the right boxing style can make all the difference.

Zhiyan was lucky to move to Daze, where the Kui Niu stirs up waves by the water, which is a good match for the water element.

Although Shen Can made this discovery through his breakthrough.

However, it's not of much use to the Blazing Flame Tribe now, as the source energy is still too far out of reach for ordinary tribesmen.

In their cultivation of splitting rocks and opening mountains, the main source of ability they acquire is still food.

Unless one day, the Five Elements Source Power gathered within the Blazing Flame Clan's territory becomes extremely concentrated, allowing ordinary clansmen to directly practice their fist techniques and have countless Source Power drill into their bodies.

I don't know when it will be possible.

Shen Can decided to write down this discovery for the time being. Although it was impossible to allow his clansmen to fully absorb source energy for cultivation, they could still choose to cultivate in places with abundant source energy for the time being.

Even if one absorbs only a wisp of water elemental energy per day, over time it will accumulate to a considerable amount. Perhaps a member of the clan who was originally unable to advance to the level of a martial artist can become one as a result.

At this moment, the area that Shen Can had just absorbed was replenished with moisture, which then lingered around the clan mountain and did not dissipate further.

When there is no primordial energy, the water vapor drifts everywhere with the wind, sometimes dense and sometimes sparse.

Back at the ancestral temple, the twelve temple guards of the Fire Turtle were practicing their boxing.

Shen Can gestured for them to continue, then returned to his residence on his own.

He was able to break through to the third tier of wizardry in one go thanks to the Yuan Meridian gathering source power; otherwise, he would never have been able to break through to the third tier in one go.

As afternoon approached, a commotion arose outside the ancestral temple. People from the nearby area who had been hunting and fishing brought their catch to the temple.

They were all ordinary prey such as birds, rabbits, and fish. Shen Can quickly performed the ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife and placed them on the offering table.

I also gained some extra lifespan as a bonus.

The offerings placed on the altar will still gradually shrivel up, but after the grand ceremony, the spirits in the offering vessels no longer devour them as voraciously as before.

Shen Can discovered that only by following the rules, drawing shamanic symbols, and reciting incantations for the offerings, could he gain lifespan.

Similarly, only when such a sacrifice is devoured by the spirit can the spirit's consciousness enter the sacrificial cauldron and establish a connection with the spirit.

On the surface, it appeared to be just drawing shamanic symbols and taking blood with a phoenix knife, but after sensing it several times, Shen Can discovered that the step of offering blood by the clansmen was also crucial.

During the process of the clansmen making offerings, a 'power of will' emerged, and he, as the temple's deity, completed the sacrificial ceremony.

The clan's "wishes," incantations, temples, and sacrificial vessels constitute the entire sacrificial ritual.

The stronger the clansmen's 'willpower,' the clearer his perception of the sacrificial vessels becomes, as the temple shrine responsible for communication.

After the grand ceremony, without the fire god's instructions, tribesmen would come every day to offer sacrifices, such as the best fruits they had gathered that day, small game they had hunted, fish they had caught, or a sumptuous meal.

Since the ancestral temple manifested its divine power and was no longer a cold, impersonal altar, the ethereal hope in the hearts of the clansmen has suddenly become more solid.

Shen Can picked up a wild fruit from the offering table, took a bite, and found it to be quite sour.

“Ayu, a blessing from our ancestors.”

Firefish happily took the fruit and started munching on it, not minding the sourness at all.

“Ayu, you’ve been slacking off in your cultivation lately. If you don’t reach the level of fifty Desolate Power within a year, you’ll have to go to the clan’s army.”

"real!"

Firefish stuffed fruit pit into its mouth and looked at Shen Can with excitement.

He had wanted to join the tribal army for a long time, but he felt useless always following Brother A-Can around.

"fake."

“Starting tomorrow, you will practice your boxing in the small ravine where I practiced today.”

……

After eating, Shen Can lay down.

After advancing to the third-tier wizard, he needs to deduce spells that match his level.

Furthermore, the Kui Lei Chang Qing Gong (a martial art) also needs to be further developed and deepened.

As he pondered, Shen Can came up with the idea of ​​studying the Evergreen Technique and the Lingyu Book together.

The Lingyu Water Control Book is the clan's sacred text.

He was simply learning by stealing.

Previously, there was no other way; learning from others was a shortcut to starting from scratch.

Now that he has derived the Kui Niu Changqing Gong from martial arts and even possessed the Kui Niu Transformation, it would be an exaggeration to say that he would use it to transform into the clan's treasure book of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

The Kui Niu is close to the water element, and witchcraft currently also practices the water element; the two may well complement each other.

The name of the Kui Niu in the Great Wilderness is much more famous than that of the Lingyu.

Absorb the essence of the Lingyu Book and transform it into nourishment for understanding the Kui Niu.

This all requires a long lifespan.

Currently, the lifespan is [Lifespan: 2585].

Before this, when she had nothing to do, Shen Canruo would spend her days calculating decades of lifespan as a way to hone her spiritual sense.

Now that both my sorcery and martial arts have advanced to the third rank, I feel my soul has stabilized to an extremely high level. I can now take on more responsibilities.

[You've invested ten years of your lifespan to deduce the Kui Niu Dharma Form, and through martial arts, you've given birth to the Kui Niu Transformation. With the Kui Niu's divine form, your path of combining witchcraft and martial arts seems highly feasible.]

【Moo moo moo】

[Arowana and Kui Niu fight each other; two mysterious events that will make you explode.]

"continue!"

After waking up, Shen Can closed his eyes again.

[You have dedicated another hundred years of your lifespan to comprehend the divine form of the Kui Ox...]

……

The Blazing Flame Clan Palace.

Having washed away the weariness of his escape, Li Yue entered the clan hall with trepidation in his heart.

His original intention was to bring his people to this area to re-establish the clan, but when he found that someone had occupied it, he prepared to leave, only to be stopped by the soldiers of the Blazing Flame Tribe.

After much deliberation, realizing I was outmatched, I decided to follow along.

"Chief Li, have all the clansmen been settled?"

Huotang sat in the main seat, looking at Li Yue.

"Thank you for your assistance. We have settled down for the time being."

Li Yue rose to greet him, "Clan Chief Huo, rest assured, after two days of rest, our clan will naturally depart."

Huo Tang ignored Li Yue's words and asked, "Clan Chief Li, I want to know the specifics of your decision to abandon your clan's territory and migrate north."

After discovering Li Yue's tribe, he learned the reason why the tribe had fled.

Nothing else, it's just that the Xiaoyang tribe went north.

After the wandering knights headed north, the Xiaoyang tribe, located south of the poisonous miasma swamp, also entered this desolate mountain forest to the north.

These small tribes in the north, whose traditions have been lost, are no match for the Xiaoyang tribe.

The appearance of the Xiaoyang Clan also disrupted Huotang's original plans.

He had originally planned to use the three wandering knights he had to capture a few more, and he was about to carry it out.

Now things are much better; compared to the Wanderers, the Owl Sun Clan is far more powerful.

This is a foreign race that is opposed to the human race, and they feed on, sacrifice, and commit suicide against the human race. If they were to invade the northern mountains and forests on such a large scale...

Many tribes in the north will face a great calamity.

"It's a long story. A group of alien races, I think they're called the Xiaoyang Clan, are very powerful. I don't know how they suddenly appeared near my territory."

Fortunately, they attacked the Linyang tribe, which was near my territory, first.

Realizing the Xiaoyang Clan was too powerful, I decisively led my tribe into the mountains under the cover of night.

Huotang didn't get much useful information from Li Yue.

Outside the clan hall, Huotang watched Li Yue walk down from the clan grounds.

"Why hasn't news about Fire Monkey arrived yet?"

"In addition, send someone to inquire about the Azure Bird and Monkey Mountain tribes."

If only one or two groups of Xiaoyang warriors happen to come by, it's fine. But the real danger is a large-scale northward migration of the Xiaoyang.

If that happens, even if Zhiyan is in the northern mountains, he will inevitably be attacked by Xiaoyang.

Thinking of this, Huotang glanced at the ancestral temple.

Thinking of the sacrificial vessels in the ancestral temple brought me a slight sense of peace.

In fact, the sudden destruction of Shanghuang Village several years ago had startled him.

At that time, Shanghuang was so powerful in his eyes, yet his entire clan was wiped out overnight.

The key point is that they were not destroyed in tribal wars; even the Shanghuang tribe itself did not know why they were wiped out.

The fact that a tribe can be wiped out without you even noticing is what makes it so terrifying.

If you develop properly, you'll be wiped out.

Unpredictable, there's no tomorrow.

……

Southern mountain forest of Tongbei Market.

Fire Monkey leaned against the rock wall. The knife in his hand was broken, and his shoulder was split open, revealing the broken arrowhead inside.

He pulled out a blood-stained map, glanced at the location marked on it, and confirmed that he was not far from the Copper Shell Market.

Although the clan did not sell resources in the market, they all left people to gather information.

After resting for a while, he used the broken sword to support himself and continued on his way.

The Quyang market is gone.

Many Xiaoyang warriors rushed out along the winding stream and stormed into the market under the cover of night. Although there were many people in the market, they were no match for the Xiaoyang warriors and were routed.

After rushing out of the forest, the Fire Monkey saw that the Copper Shell Market was still there and was overjoyed. He rushed into the market without looking back.

Inside the market, the houses that were formerly belonging to the Upper Lake tribe are now scorching hot.

"Fire Monkey Brother, you..."

The one who remained in the copper shell was Huo Luo, a martial artist at the Mountain Opening Realm within the clan.

"Go back to the tribe!"

The fire monkey grabbed Huo Luo, and almost fell on top of him.

"Go back to the tribe!"

Without hesitation, Huo Luo picked up the Fire Monkey and rushed out of the market.

……

Quyang Market.

A strong aura of malevolence filled the sky, and blood stained the north bank of the Qu River red.

Amidst the collapsed ruins, one could still see warriors of the Xiaoyang Clan gnawing on something with their heads down.

Huge bonfires burned in the market, and the screams of the humans could be heard.

In the heart of the market town, two enormous phantom figures were enjoying their meal, sneering at the humans who had been captured in the distance.

Muqiu spat out a mouthful of bones. "Don't panic, it'll be your turn soon."

The bear opposite remained silent, seemingly not liking roasted food, and got up to walk towards the group of prisoners, dragging out a figure.

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

Laughter erupted in unison at that moment.

"No wonder we didn't come here before, the people here are too weak."

Seeing the bear return covered in blood, Muqiu said, "Do you really think there could be any treasures in such a desolate place?"
The most recent record is that Yongshan attacked Juyue 8,000 years ago. It is said that the Marquis of Yongbo of the human race erected a sacrificial stele somewhere on Juyue to commemorate those who died in battle.

If something truly was left behind by Yongshan, it would be normal for the people of Yongyi to flock there.

Hearing Muqiu's words, Qiu Xiong, whose face was covered in blood, sneered, "This is not eight thousand years ago. The human tribe has no right to fly over our Xiaoyang territory."

First came the Bobu flying boat, then even the remnants of human souls sealed off at their ancestral homeland, Gufu Mountain, were lured away. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"

“You’re right, but these things are too far removed from my life.” Mu Qiu said dismissively, “I brought my people here on orders to meet Lord Mu Yang, who was traveling with the flying boat.”

However, the human population in this region is so weak. While supporting you, sir, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for me to lead my people to gather more supplies for the tribe."

"That guy Mu Xun arrived earlier than us, he's probably already stuffed."

"Bear, are you going to catch it or not?!"

"Grasp!"

"Hahaha……"
