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

Chapter 130 The Effect of Temple Blood!
"The spirits have bestowed blessings!"

The scene outside the ancestral temple brought cheers from the clansmen.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

At this moment, the azure phoenixes spread their wings and cried out, feeling a clearer connection with their companions.

Although both sides had previously acknowledged each other, the human race and the Azure Phoenix race were, after all, two different groups, and estrangement was inevitable.

The Blazing Flame Clan members had the same feeling; they sensed the fluctuations in the consciousness of the Azure Phoenixes around them.

The idea that I used to have to guess at is now clear all at once.

Inside the ancestral temple.

Shen Can slowly withdrew his divine sense from the sacrificial artifact, just moments before the sacrificial spirit within the artifact had surged with intense energy.

A rune connecting the clansmen and the Azure Phoenix appeared.

Indeed, there are benefits to offering sacrifices more often.

The sacrificial spirits are like the vessel of humanity's lost treasure trove, requiring constant activation through sacrifices.

The birdsong and cheers of the clansmen outside the ancestral temple caused the power of their wishes to surge into the temple like a tide, making the spirits within the sacrificial vessels even more solid.

After leaving the ancestral temple, they cut up the wild beast and offered it on the altar.

The clansmen and the blue phoenixes present did not leave, but continued to bow their heads and sing outside the ancestral temple.

……

Inside the ancestral temple.

Shen Can, Huo Tang, and Cang Luan, two people and a bird, stood outside the offering table.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

Huotang's eyes were filled with joy. The blessing from the sacrificial spirit had brought the clansmen and the Azure Phoenix closer together, which would surely enhance their combat strength in battle.

With the blessings of our ancestors, our chances of success on this trip have increased even further.

“Since our clan has entered into a contract, we will abide by it.”

Cangluan didn't say much. The Blazing Flame Tribe hadn't mistreated its people; they were provided with food and drink and given the respect they deserved.

The Blazing Flame Tribe does not force those tribesmen who are unwilling to form partnerships with the human race.

Beneath the spirit tree lies a primordial vein, allowing the spirit tree to grow even more luxuriantly than it did in the rift valley.

Without external threats, more than twenty baby phoenixes have hatched in the past year.

In the past, hatching was the most dangerous time for fledglings. In addition to their own problems, they were also attacked by wild animals, and the survival rate was less than 30%.

With the protection of the Blazing Flame Tribe, these little phoenixes will receive treatment from shamans if they are not in good spirits.

To date, none of the twenty-odd baby phoenixes that hatched have died; they are all growing up strong and healthy, with an endless supply of various insects and meat every day.

In this situation, the stronger the Blazing Flame Tribe becomes, the more its population will multiply and grow.

"Bring everything you need. Like I always say, if you manage to grab something, you've made a profit. Only act when you're confident."

Shen Can didn't elaborate further, revealing that Huo Tang's personality also had subtle aspects.

The main reason for going out this time was that the tribespeople outside were too wild, and Huotang was a little worried about them.

The next day, before dawn, Huotang and Cangluan led thirty Cangluan soldiers away from their clan's territory.

These thirty Azure Phoenixes and their clan soldiers can be considered the most elite clan soldiers in the clan, and some clan members are themselves Heavenly Vein Warriors.

Huotang brought a lot of supplies with him on this trip south, including prepared witchcraft medicine, food, and so on.

Yongyi has no shortage of food, but that does not mean that the area occupied by Xiaoyang is not short of food.

The number of scattered people that Huo Ning had gathered outside had not increased because of food shortages.

The human race's fields had long been destroyed by Xiaoyang, and they were constantly at war with Xiaoyang, so they simply did not have the time or energy to grow crops again.

Watching the Azure Phoenix disappear into the horizon, Shen Can slowly withdrew his gaze.

If you want to eat meat, you have to be prepared to get beaten up.

You can take advantage of a bargain many times, but no one can guarantee that they will only benefit from it and not get beaten up every time.

With Huotang gone, Shen Can also made the necessary preparations. He planned to visit the fake tribe settlement that had been prepared outside in a few days.

Whether or not there is a tail, be prepared for a tail to follow.

Back at the ancestral temple, Shen Can, as usual, began to sweep and clean the temple, waiting for the clansmen to come and offer sacrifices.

Yesterday's sacrificial offerings on the altar will surely be requested by someone today.

Not long after, footsteps could be heard outside the ancestral temple.

The footsteps stopped in the distance, followed by the sound of someone kneeling down.

As dawn broke, the area outside the ancestral temple was already filled with kneeling figures.

The offerings presented by the clansmen were selected and placed on the altar, and the sacrificial meat was distributed before the clansmen gradually left.

At this moment, the little dragonfish brought in the little blue phoenix, and observing the Wind God and Rain Master paintings every day became a habit for the two beasts.

The two little ones have also learned to bring offerings. When they come in, they tiptoe in and even bow to the ancestral sacrificial vessels like the other members of their tribe.

"Plu".

"Chirp chirp chirp."

Two green fruits landed in Shen Can's hands, and the little dragonfish indicated that they were brought for him.

Just as the little dragonfish and the little phoenix were about to look at the picture, Shen Can grabbed them, one in each hand.

Shen Can held down the little dragonfish and began to examine its entire body.

After looking at the crayfish, I spread out the wings of the little blue phoenix to take a look.

The fish and the bird looked at Shen Can with fear in their eyes.

"My revered temple master, do you wish to eat fish?"

Shen Can ignored the little dragonfish, seemingly having figured something out.

Thinking back to yesterday's sacrifice, the sacrificial beast initially struggled, but after releasing its blood energy, it suddenly showed fear of the superior wild beast.

Then, he circulated the blood energy in his body.

"hold head high!"

In an instant, the little dragonfish let out a low growl, its eyes fixed on Shen Can, revealing wariness and a hint of fear.

The little phoenix stumbled back a few steps, then plopped down on the ground, flapping its wings and chirping.

"Why is your aura so chaotic? It has the aura of a high-level wild beast."

The auspicious beast is also a type of wild beast, and it sensed a chaotic and oppressive aura emanating from Shen Can.

After a long while, the little dragonfish came to its senses, leaned forward and sniffed again, confirming that Shen Can still smelled human.

"Do I still look like a Kui Niu?"

The little dragonfish shook its head. "You give me a dangerous feeling right now. In my inherited memories, humans who observe wild beasts to cultivate will pick up the habits of those beasts. Aren't you afraid of being corrupted by them?"

"Let's go and look at the martial arts monument diagram."

Just as Shen Can was about to let the two little ones leave, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with the middle-aged senior.

After a martial artist unlocks their divine treasure, they will gradually begin to transform into a beast, and eventually evolve into a beastly form.

Before he even advanced to the Heavenly Vein level, he transformed into a Kui Niu.

Although it's vastly different from the Beast Form Realm, it still possesses the divine form of the Kui Niu, so it can be considered a Lesser Beast Form.

Now, based on the Kui Niu, he has introduced four other divine forms. The little dragon fish said that his aura is very chaotic now, and there is also the aura of a high-level wild beast.

All indications suggest that he has reached the level of 'beastification' ahead of schedule.

As he raised his hand, Shen Can cut his fingertip, and a drop of blood fell out.

The perfectly round blood droplets were crystal clear, and besides their menacing aura, they also possessed a unique charm.

The little arowana's eyes were very bright.

"Can I eat it?"

It looked up at Shen Can. Being a dragon, it could absorb anything it ate and transform it into nourishment for its own dragon power. Shen Can's drop of blood exuded a divine aura, and the little dragonfish felt that consuming it would aid its transformation.

The little phoenix was the same; its blue eyes fixed on the drop of blood, revealing a look of longing.

Shen Can showed no favoritism and let out another drop of blood.

After the little dragonfish ate it, a golden light emanated from its body, and its aura surged.

The little phoenix was quite different; it spread its wings involuntarily, raised its neck and cried out, and its whole body shimmered with streaks of blue light.

As if he were drunk, he staggered and spun around in the ancestral temple.

As Shen Can observed the changes in the little phoenix, the little dragonfish came up to him, licking its big face, and said, "It swallowed too fast just now, so I don't know what it tastes like. Can I have a jar of it?"

After prying open the dragonfish's head, Shen Can continued to observe the changes in the little phoenix.

About half an hour later, a faint golden light emanated from the little phoenix's blue wings, making it look even more divine.

"You're not some wild beast that has transformed into a human, are you?" Little Dragonfish leaned closer again.

Shen Can's blood is too mysterious. He is clearly a person, but the aura he exudes is like that of a high-level wild beast in slumber.

That's not right. It was always by Shen Can's side when he was cultivating, and it was there when he transformed into a Kui Niu. But it didn't feel this way back then.

“I feel that if you give us a drop of blood every day, we can greatly shorten our infancy and continuously undergo atavism.”

Unable to get a jar of blood, the little dragonfish reluctantly spoke again.

So, he got another flick on the forehead.

Shen Can picked up the little phoenix and examined it inside and out again, and found that the little phoenix had indeed shown signs of bloodline transformation.

The Azure Phoenix clan possesses a portion of the Phoenix's bloodline, but the bloodline is too thin, making the chance of reverting to their ancestral form extremely slim.

Now it's good, his own blood can promote atavism.

Shen Can even wondered if he was now a human or a beast, or a human-beast or a beast-human.

It's impossible to give a crayfish only one drop of blood a day, but giving it two drops every few days is acceptable.

This is a long process of transformation, and it might really allow the arowana and the little phoenix to go further on the path of atavism.

Less than half an hour later.

After dragging the stubborn little dragonfish by its tail and throwing it out of the ancestral temple, Shen Can finally felt much calmer.

"Little Sparrow, let's go see where it's going to rain."

Seeing that today was not going to happen, the little dragonfish carried the little phoenix and flew out of the tribe.

"Do more work, and you'll be more justified in standing up when the time comes."

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

As they flew out of the clan city, a flock of Azure Phoenix soldiers also flew out of the city.

"Chirp!"

The little phoenix raised its neck towards the flock of birds and cried out in a high-pitched voice.

In an instant, the wings of the flock of phoenixes flying out of the city suddenly faltered, and the tribesmen on their backs almost fell to the ground.

……

Inside the ancestral temple.

Shen Can felt like he had touched something, but he didn't have any relevant secrets to support his idea.

I sought advice from a senior in middle age, but the senior had already fallen into a deep sleep.

He perused the ancient texts that his clan had acquired from Ji, but found none that offered him any inspiration.

Hopefully, Huotang will be able to bring back a batch of classic books during this trip.

The elders in the middle age said that the human race has actually been developing all along, but it has been constantly impacted by natural disasters, leading to a break in the lineage.

Repairing a broken temple is not as fast as repairing it; even a broken temple is difficult to maintain.

……

half a month later.

Shen Can also quietly left the valley and headed towards the fake tribe's territory called Cangshan.

This pseudo-tribal land, chosen during the migration, is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, as well as small river valleys and plains.

Today, nearly four thousand people live in the valley, and the tribe has returned to its normal state of reproduction.

……

Thistlefield.

The Guimu River flows straight through Ji County from south to north, with hundreds of tributaries running east to west. It has abundant water and resources, and the mountains and forests it flows through are vast.

Therefore, it did not dry up when the Golden Crow Kuafu passed through.

under night.

In the upper reaches of the Blackwater River, a tributary of the Guimu River, the dense jungle is crawling with all kinds of insects and ants, as well as spiders the size of human heads.

The environment here is extremely harsh, with numerous insects and ants, and poisonous insects appear from time to time. In the past, nearby tribes were unwilling to hunt here.

In the dim light, more than a dozen figures appeared.

"Clan leader."

"Clan leader!"

Huo Tu looked somewhat excited when he saw Huo Tang.

It's been more than two years since I last went back to my tribe. It would be a lie to say I don't miss home.

The warriors following Huo Tu were all members of the Blazing Flame Clan or members of the same ethnic group.

Huo Tang did not let the Azure Phoenix soldiers appear in front of Huo Tu; he appeared alone in the dense forest.

Huotang could tell that Huotu was homesick, so he gently patted her shoulder.

"Come back to the tribe with me this time."

After saying that, he looked at the others and said, "Those who want to go home, come back with me."

Huo Tu gently shook his head, "Let's wait a little longer. I am now the commander of a thousand men in the Jishan tribe, with over a thousand under my command."

"That's right, clan leader. You have no idea how enjoyable it was in Ji. There were Xiaoyang everywhere. Using the fighting methods that Master Miaotiao taught us, we were invincible."

"I'm not going back. I'll find a woman to take back with me."

……

Huo Tu glared at the clansmen beside him before speaking, "Clan leader, you've come at the right time. Brother Huo Ning has robbed a batch of resources and is trying to find a way to transport them back."

With that, Huo Tu pulled Huo Tang toward the depths of the dense forest.

After walking only a few steps, the group was covered in insects and had to stop to clean themselves.

"Found a good hiding place."

Feeling the stinging pain from the insect bites on his skin, Huotang nodded. He wasn't afraid of the harsh environment; safety was the most important thing.

After entering the depths of the dense forest, we came to a place of rotten mud and water.

The group started digging, and after turning over the mud and water, they found a patch of rocks.

"Chieftain, the mud here is covered with solid black Yuan Stone, which is perfect for carving out a cave to hide things."

With the help of their people, an entrance appeared, and Huo Tu led Huo Tang inside.

The cave hidden inside the stone was very large, filled to the brim with things, and reeked of a strong bloody smell.

The cave, which was ten zhang deep, five or six zhang wide and high, was filled with ores, armor, jade, bronze, spirit rice, witchcraft herbs, hemp cloth, brocade and so on.

"This is one of the caves; there are three caves like this in total."

Ignoring other resources, Huo Tu walked to the very back of the cave and pushed aside the boulder that blocked another cave, which was half the size of the previous one.

Inside the cave, there were mountains of books piled up.

“Chieftain, isn’t the temple supposed to collect ancient books and witchcraft manuals? Do you think these are enough?”
